A DEADLY YEAR

5 tips for preventing house fires From checking heaters to cleaning chimneys

By Caitlin Doornbos Twitter: @CaitlinDoornbos

Patrick Roberts, 39, died in March.

Harold Sasko, 52, died in January.

Winter brings more house fires than any other season. Last week alone, there were three home fires in Lawrence.

The good news is that residents can prevent fires by taking a few precautions, especially in the coldest, driest time of the year, Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical public education specialist Richard Bull said. Winter structure fires have less to do with the weather and more to do with five mistakes people make between December and March, Bull said.

Charles Brockman, 26, died in May.

A newly acquired painting by one of Lawrence’s more famous past residents — at least in the art world — is warming up the contemporary gallery at the Spencer Museum of Art. KANSAS “Summer” by Albert Bloch UNIVERSITY is now on display in the 20/21 Gallery. Kansas University alumni Eric and Michelle Voth donated “Summer” to the museum this fall, adding to the Spencer’s Bloch holdings and representing a unique period in the artist’s work.

Bloch, a St. Louis native, spent his early years exhibiting in Germany with the expressionist group Der Blaue Reiter, according to information from the Spencer. Bloch was the only American in the circle founded by German and Eastern European artists, including Vasily Kandinsky and Franz Marc.

Bloch returned to the Midwest and, in 1923, became chairman and professor in the KU art department, where he taught painting until 1947.

“Summer,” painted in 1929, is currently on view with two other Bloch paintings from the Spencer’s holdings, “Winter” of 1918 and “Frieze for a Music Room” of 1915.

“Summer” depicts a vivid yellow flower in a vase next to a woman and a masked clown, painted primarily in yellow, green and deep red tones. The painting has a soft, pastel-like quality.

T. Brockman was shot on Mother’s Day at an apartment complex at the intersection of East 13th Street and Maple Lane during a family barbecue. Brockman reportedly had come to the barbecue with a shotgun, waving it around and scaring people. An unidentified man at the barbecue had a previous dispute with Brockman and Brockman grew agitated. Brockman chased after the man, and the man fired three shots into Brockman from the second floor of an apartment building as Brockman approached him with the shotgun. Brockman was then taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

After reviewing investigators’ findings, Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson did not file charges against the shooter.

July 26, 2014: A friend discovered Christine Kaplan’s body inside her home in the 1100 block of New York Street. Angelica Kulp, 38, was identified Kulp as the suspect in Kaplan’s homicide days later and was located in Topeka after allegedly breaking into a home and stealing a jar of change.

Kulp was thought to have been staying with Kaplan at the time of the homicide.

Kulp will not be formally charged in Kaplan’s death until her Shawnee County case for the alleged burglary is completed. In November, a Shawnee County judge ruled she was incom-

petent and committed Kulp to Osawatomie State Hospital for treatment before further proceedings on the burglary case could take place.

Sept. 12, 2014: Vance “Van” Moulton was found dead of an apparent asphyxiation in his Prairie Ridge Place apartment, 2424 Melrose Lane. Ronald Eugene Heskett was arrested on suspicion of first-degree murder in connection with the death after admitting to helping Moulton commit suicide by wrapping a towel tightly around his neck, according to Heskett’s arrest affidavit. Heskett said Moulton told him that if Heskett “was really his friend, he would help him,” the affidavit said. Heskett is scheduled to make his next appearance in court on Jan. 13. He is being held in the Douglas County Jail on a $500,000 bond.

Nov. 9, 2014: Justina Altamirano Mosso’s body was discovered amid a violent scene inside a Cedarwood Apartments residence. Neighbors recalled hearing a man yell and strike a woman who lived in the apartment where Altamirano Mosso’s body was found, but Lawrence police have been tightlipped as they continue to investigate the homicide.

Nearing two months after Altamirano Mosso’s death, no one has been arrested and police have not released any suspect names.

The police cited the language barrier between Spanish-speaking witnesses and English-speaking investigators as a contributing factor in the investigation’s pace.

strates a transition from Bloch’s style while working in Germany to the style he developed after returning to America, Scott Heffley, president of the Albert Bloch Foundation and Senior Conservator of Paintings at the Nelson-Atkins Museum, said in a news release.

“The color harkens back to the German period where colors were really strong and pure and the two figures relate especially to works that came late in his American period,” Heffley said.

He added that Bloch used glaze to create “images that glowed from their own light.”

Heffley said the addition of Summer to the Spencer’s collection is significant both because a painting from this period is rare, and because it adds to the Museum’s representation of work created by Bloch while at KU. The Voth family had a long-standing relationship with Bloch and gave the Spencer another Bloch painting in 2004, according to the museum. Eric Voth’s father, Harold

Voth, began collecting Bloch’s work more than 50 years ago.

Viewers of “Summer” will enjoy its hint of mystery, said David Cateforis, KU professor of American art and modern and contemporary art.

“I am particularly intrigued by the enigmatic pair of figures in this Bloch painting — the rougecheeked young woman with a gloved hand, 1920sstyle head scarf and stardecorated yellow dress, and her companion, a masked male clown wearing a cap, a ruff collar and a smirking expression,” he said.

Bloch painted clowns throughout his career, and this one is based on the Pierrot type, Cateforis said.

But why is there what appears to be a wooden club in front of them? Is the clown holding it, or the woman? And what does it mean?

Said Cateforis, “These are mysteries that the painting invites us to try and solve.”

Couple out front in United Way’s campaign

Watch for temporary closures on Wakarusa

Staff Reports

By Micki Chestnut Special to the Journal-World

Most people are uncomfortable asking others to give money. Brian Iverson would count himself among them. But Iverson jumped out of his comfort zone and took on a volunteer leadership position to encourage folks to invest in the future of our community by supporting the work of United Way of Douglas County and its 29 community partners.

As the 2014 United Way Campaign co-chairs, Iverson and his wife, Sue, are talking with individuals and businesses about the impact their investment in United Way will have on helping at-risk children get the support they need to succeed in school, ensuring vulnerable populations have access to health care and helping people in financial crisis find jobs and affordable housing.

The United Way’s annual fundraising campaign typically runs between September and December. The goal of the campaign is to encourage community members to invest in the work of United Way and its community partners to ensure everyone in Douglas County can achieve education, health and self-sufficiency.

“United Way is something I’ve felt passionate about for a number of years,” said Brian Iverson, who is the manager of commercial lending for InTrust Bank in Lawrence. As a numbers guy, Iverson likes United Way’s collective impact model, where funded partners are required to work together to use resources more efficiently and produce quantifiable results.

“If you look at your money going to United Way as an investment, and you want to see what the impact of your dollar is, with the measurements we are putting in place, you can see ‘this percent of children are at proficiency for reading’ or ‘this number of people are going through financial literacy classes,’” he explained. “It puts in a new level of agency accountability, and that should give people a level of comfort in donating to United Way.” Serving as co-chair has given Sue Iverson, who is the director of education and organizational development for Stormont-Vail HealthCare in Topeka, a chance to learn more about the needs of vulnerable people in Douglas County and how United Way and its Please see UNITED, page 4A

dioShack executives carry moving boxes with them rather than briefcases.

The company in March announced it wanted to close 1,100 stores, but that plan stalled as the company’s lender raised objections. In the meantime, RadioShack continued to lose about $30 million a month, according to an article in the Dallas Morning News.

That article reports January will be a key month for the chain’s future. The article reports the company is required to have at least $100 million in cash or borrowing capacity

by Jan. 15 to stay in good

And when you have more than $840 million in debt, as RadioShack does, you want to stay in good standing with your lender.

So, if you are a fan of the other two RadioShack stores in town, you’ll want to keep a close eye on the company’s finances. I’ll try to keep an eye out for any news of a new retailer for the South Iowa Street location, which is right in front of the SuperTarget store.

irebricks are heattolerant refractory bricks used to line the inside of most fireboxes. They protect the exterior of fire-burning stoves and retain heat to be released as the fire wanes.

Replacing broken or missing firebricks ensures the safe operation and prolonged life of a stove or fireplace.

Step 1: Allow the firebricks to cool completely once the fire has died out.

Step 2: Clear away ash and debris inside the box.

Step 3: Document the layout of the bricks.

Photos, owner’s manuals or a hand-drawn pictorial record of the bricks will help mitigate frustration when installing a new brick. Numbering the bricks with a marker may also help.

Step 4: Firebricks on the floor lining that are in good shape, except for a few small cracks, may not need to be replaced just yet. Filling the cracks with ash can provide enough insulation to protect the firebox. Ash does not retain heat, though, so the

partners are creating long-term solutions to meet those needs.

To kick off the campaign, the Iversons and other campaign volunteers toured United Way’s community partners to learn more about the challenges in Douglas County and how they are working together to address our community’s needs in education, health and self-sufficiency. The couple said the tour was eye-opening.

“I was both impressed by the scope of outreach within the community, as well as I was really overwhelmed and surprised at the number people who are living lives of despair and need and homelessness and hurt,” Sue Iverson said. “It left an impression on me. This is the message everyone needs to know in Lawrence: There are people who really need our help.”

The Iversons have been inspiring leaders to work with, said Colleen Gregoire, United Way vice president and campaign director.

Linda Cottin bricks will eventually need to be replaced.

Step 5: Firebricks lining the walls of the firebox can be temporarily repaired with refractory cement.

Patches are typically short-lived in wood-burning stoves, as the impact of logs being added to the fire tends to knock the cement loose.

Step 6: Choose new bricks that are the same size and material as the old firebricks. Most firebricks are standard in length and width, but vary in thickness. Firebricks contain silica, so wear a respirator and safety glasses.

Step 7: Close the chimney damper and remove the stove door to allow for easier access.

Step 8: Pry up the old firebrick and remove it

Clean away ash and debris beneath the brick. If the bricks are held in place by retaining clips or bars, loosen the bolts holding the clips before removing the bricks.

Step 9: Cut new firebricks to match the old bricks using a wet saw

with a diamond blade.

Step 10: Install the new firebrick following the owner’s manual. Firebricks should fit snugly together.

Use a wooden block and rubber mallet to wedge the bricks into place.

Step 11: Fill gaps with cut pieces of firebrick and sweep ash into cracks and

crevices.

Disturbing tally The incidence of homicide in Lawrence is uncomfortably close to matching the numbers in Topeka.

T

his is an area in which Lawrence doesn’t want to catch up to its larger neighbor to the west.

As 2014 came to a close, Topeka officials were reporting that the city recorded just seven homicides during the year. That’s the fewest homicides recorded in that city in nearly a decade.

Unfortunately, Lawrence hasn’t experienced the same trend. During 2014, Lawrence had six homicide cases, the highest total in at least 11 years and just one fewer than Topeka. Three additional homicides were reported in Larwence in the last half of 2013. Prior to July 2013, Lawrence hadn’t recorded a homicide in about five years.

What changed?

Data from the last decade include five years in which Lawrence had no homicide cases. The previous high during that time period was five homicides in 2005. The average over the decade was between two and three homicide cases per year.

The unusual number of local homicides in Lawrence in 2014 is difficult to explain. The cases don’t seem to have much in common when it comes to motive or other circumstances. Mental health issues may have been a factor in some cases but similarities are hard to identify.

Nonetheless, the rise in Lawrence homicides cries out for attention from local law enforcement, social service agencies or any other officials who might offer some insight into this disturbing trend. Maybe the last 18 months is just an aberration, but the nine homicides in Lawrence during that period certainly warrants examination.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Jan. 5, 1915: “After six weeks of hard, steady practice, the University of Kansas goal tossyears ers will open their 1915 basket ball ago season against the Ames ‘Aggies’ IN 1914 at Ames, Iowa, Friday and Saturday nights. Coach Hamilton has had charge of the Jayhawker squad since two weeks before Christmas holidays and declares that his team is ready for the opening. With four ‘K’ men in addition to the new material which has become a part of the Jayhawker squad this year, prospects are that the Jayhawker five will have another successful season and will bid fair for the Missouri Valley Conference honors…. Local fans will not have an opportunity to see the Crimson and the Blue five in action against a foreign team before January 15 and 16. Coach Hamilton has not arranged games for these two dates yet, but will probably schedule William Jewell or ‘Phog’ Allen’s Warrensburg Normals, to get the Jayhawkers ready for the hard contests with the Cornhuskers the following week at Lawrence.”

Global glimmers of hope for 2015 2014 was such a grim year for foreign policy that I’d like to write a column predicting things will get better next year.

In truth, there’s scant reason to hope that the Islamic State will soon be destroyed, Vladimir Putin will see the light, or Kim Jong Un will agree to appear on “The Daily Show.” However, if one suspends disbelief, it’s possible to imagine how some of the grim conflicts of the past year could ease. So here are the hopeful signs to watch for (and why they probably won’t materialize) in 2015.

Can the Islamic State be rolled back? This year, the sectarian policies of Iraq’s Shiite former prime minister, Nouri al-Maliki, drove unless Baghdad gives them Sunnis into the arms of the more military aid and political power, along with a bigger role in a reformed army.

So watch to see whether Washington gives firm, consistent backing to al-Abadi and persuades other Sunni Arab states to do likewise.

This won’t require combat troops, but it will require more than tough talk from the White House or Contrubin@phillynews.com gress. Intense U.S. diplomacy and full presidential attention will be needed. If Will Afghanistan al-Abadi gets that, there’s fall to the Taliban a chance that the Islamic following the exit of State’s gains can be reversed the last U.S. combat in Iraq in 2015, which would also weaken the group troops this year? across the border in Syria.

stay low (which could be the best foreign policy news of 2015 as well as 2014). Putin would then have to release more billions in hard currency reserves to pay pensions and help Russian companies repay their foreign debts.

That would create pressure for him to back off Ukraine to get sanctions lifted. But Putin’s dreams of re-creating the Russian empire may trump rational concerns.

Will Afghanistan fall to the Taliban following the exit of the last U.S. combat troops this year? There are a few kernels of good news on this front. Afghanistan’s new tandem government of President Ashraf Ghani and CEO Abdullah Abdullah is a great improvement over the mercurial Hamid Karzai — if they can finally agree on a cabinet. Meantime, Taliban leaders appear to be embroiled in deadly quarrels with each other.

Pakistan targets Taliban What’s important to watch is whether neighboring Pakistan has finally decided to stop its longtime backing of the Afghan Taliban as a means of outflanking Indian influence in Afghanistan. The Afghans could have settled their own problems years ago if the Pakistanis hadn’t trained and armed the Afghan Taliban and given them safe haven in their country.

The recent Taliban massacre of 132 schoolchildren in Pakistan has led wavering politicians there to declare war on all Taliban, both Afghan and Pakistani. Paki-

stan’s army commander, Gen. Raheel Sharif, is talking the same way. If these leaders really mean it this time, they can pressure the Afghan Taliban to pursue their goals by political rather than violent means. One sign of Islamabad’s sincerity would be an arrest of Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Omar, who is believed to be living in Karachi. But I’m not holding my breath.

Other ‘iffy’ opportunities There could be good news on several other fronts, although the odds are iffy. In 2015, we’ll learn whether it’s possible to negotiate a deal to curb Iran’s nuclear program.

Even if that occurs, advocates are far too optimistic that it will lead Iran to normalize relations with the West.

In Israel, a March election could produce a government less eager to settle or annex much of the West Bank, but it may be too late for Israelis and Palestinians to negotiate a deal for two states.

As for Kim Jong Un, watch to see if his Chinese allies finally tire of his antics and try to curb him in the new year.

And then there’s Cuba.

The long-overdue U.S. recognition of its government was one of the most positive foreign policy stories of 2014.

In 2015, watch to see if more people-to-people contact, and global exposure to Cuban art, music, sports, and 1950s Chevies, creates pressure for gradual political change.

Tax could open college opportunities

By Ronald M. Glassman and Gerald E. Scorse Los Angeles Times

Nothing is more central to the American dream than equality of opportunity. In today’s world, that usually means a college education — and, for most families, the challenge of paying for it. Congress could help meet that challenge. It could pass a financial transaction tax and dedicate the proceeds to providing equal opportunity for college.

The midterm elections showed a country in a sour mood. They also showed a country hungry for a sense of purpose. In 1961, heralding a New Frontier, President John F. Kennedy committed the nation to sending a man to the moon. In 2015, President Barack Obama could revive that same ideal and commit the nation to sending the sons and daughters of workingand middle-class families to college, and doing it without leaving them deeply in debt.

A financial transaction tax would provide the rocket fuel propelling America toward that goal.

Financial transaction taxes are small fees levied on sales of stocks, bonds and other commonly traded instruments. They serve two purposes: They raise revenue and discourage Wall Street speculation. Currently, 23 nations levy such a tax, and 11 members of the

“

Higher education enjoys strong appeal across party lines, and both parties claim they’re in the corner of Main Street Americans.

Instead of just talk, legislators could pass a financial transaction tax that sent more kids to college.”

European Union are close to having a version. The U.S. is the only major financial center without one.

The makings of a bipartisan education tax are in place. Higher education enjoys strong appeal across party lines, and both parties claim they’re in the corner of Main Street Americans.

Instead of just talk, legislators could pass a financial transaction tax that sent more kids to college.

Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen has emphasized the link between equal opportunity and a college education — and the strains on that link. In October, speaking at a conference on inequality, she put it plainly: “It is no secret that the past few decades of widening inequality can be summed up as significant income and wealth gains for those at the very top and stagnant living standards for the majority. I

think it is appropriate to ask whether this trend is compatible with values rooted in our nation’s history, among them the high value Americans have traditionally placed on equality of opportunity.”

Study after study has confirmed the payoff from a college diploma. Yellen cited a 2014 Urban Institute paper showing a 79 percent premium in median annual earnings for full-time workers with a bachelor’s degree. A working paper from the National Bureau of Economic Research found that earnings of the average college graduate in 2008 roughly doubled those of the average high school graduate.

The guidelines for sharing revenue from a financial transaction tax should focus on fairness. First in line should be the community colleges; they currently enroll 45 percent of the nation’s undergraduates, largely from the working class. Then come public colleges and universities, long a middle-class haven. Hit with funding cuts during the recession, their tuition and fees have skyrocketed.

Opponents of a higher-education transaction tax will probably argue that Congress has done enough to give the children of working- and middle-class families an equal shot at college: There are Pell grants, tax deductions, Obama’s Ameri-

can Opportunity Tax Credit.

They all help, but they’re no match for the endless escalation of college costs. Millions are left behind. Millions are left mired in debt.

Yellen noted in her speech that student loan debt quadrupled from $260 billion in 2004 to $1.1 trillion in 2014.

The debt burden, always relatively higher for families with lower net worth, has more than doubled, and, she said, “from 1995 to 2013, outstanding education debt grew from 26 percent of yearly income for the lower half of households to 58 percent of income.”

Wall Street showered itself with gold in the run-up to the financial crisis. The Street again struck gold — this time from taxpayers — with the bailout from the crisis. It was a neat trick to profit so richly both ways; it should easily be able to manage a financial transaction tax. Even the tiniest rates that have been floated (0.117 percent on stocks and options, 0.002 percent on bonds, 0.005 percent on futures, swaps and other derivatives) could raise $50 billion a year. Higher rates, still tiny, could bring in at least $175 billion annually.

Congress has nothing to lose in the trying and might even do itself proud.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY FORWARD JAMARI TRAYLOR COMES AWAY WITH A STEAL from UNLV forward Christian Wood, center, as Traylor and point guard Frank Mason III (0) hit the floor during the second half of the Jayhawks’ 76-61 victory on Sunday at Allen Fieldhouse.

Jayhawks scrap past Rebels

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kelly Oubre Jr. remembers watching Wayne Selden Jr. disappear from the TV screen a year ago as the Kansas University guard tumbled into the Allen Fieldhouse stands to save a loose ball in a thrilling ESPN Big Monday victory over Baylor.

On Sunday, KU freshman Oubre witnessed an encore from Selden up close and personal.

Selden left his feet to retrieve a ball that appeared headed out of bounds near the scorer’s table in the backcourt, with KU nursing a one-point early-second-half lead versus UNLV’s Runnin Rebels. While sliding, Selden, the 6-foot-5 sophomore from Roxbury, Massachusetts, batted it hard with

his right hand over to Perry Ellis, who pitched to point guard Frank Mason III for a driving layup that proved infectious in the Jayhawks’ 76-61 victory in Allen.

“Coach stresses that’s what wins championships, plays like that,” said Oubre, who scored 12 points and grabbed 10 rebounds on a day the Jayhawks (112) outboarded the Rebels (9-5), 45-31. Oubre also played great defense on former Las Vegas Findlay Prep teammate Rashad Vaughn, who scored 10 points off 4-of-10 shooting, KANSAS GUARD FRANK MASON III, CENTER, GETS with just two points the TO THE BUCKET between UNLV guards Jordan Cornish (3) and Jelan Kendrick in the first half. second half.

If trying to figure out how Kansas University’s sophomore point guard Frank Mason manages to finish at the rim so accurately against players a foot taller, don’t feel bad. You’re not alone.

Maybe Wayne Selden Jr. has the answer.

“I don’t know,” Selden said. “I’m trying to figure it out so I can do it. He’s doing a great job with it.”

The point guard’s the guy whose responsibility it is to make teammates practice better, feel better about themselves and in turn play better in games.

Mason not only plays like that, he sounds like it.

Asked how he scores so well in big-man country, Mason threw credit to four teammates.

“That’s something I always work on in practice,”

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Mason said. “We’ve got Cliff (Alexander), Landen (Lucas), Perry (Ellis) and Jamari (Traylor), so I work on things like that during practice.”

Nice of Mason to praise them, because playing against them does make him better. But they don’t have anything to do with how he gets up so high, so quickly, contorts his body to shield the defender and puts up soft shots off the Please see KEEGAN, page 5B

KU FOOTBALL

Beaty focusing on depth, development

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Shortly before his hiring became official in early December, new Kansas University football coach David Beaty spent countless hours watching KU games from the 2014 season and studying the roster he would inherit.

The former Texas A&M receivers coach and recruiting coordinator reviewed each game multiple times, took notes on the Jayhawks

who would be back in 2015 and those who were graduating and tried to get a better feel for which guys on the Kansas roster looked able to compete at the Big 12 level.

Doing so gave Beaty a jump-start on the critical two-week recruiting period that led to the signing of eight mid-year juniorcollege transfers, many of whom figure to have a chance to impact KU’s roster immediately.

“

The No. 1 thing I was looking for when we started looking at our needs was roster management … ” — New KU football coach David Beaty “It was fairly easy,” Beaty said. “And not because I’m smarter than the average guy. When you look at the board, if you know what

you’re doing, you look at the numbers first and identify where you have enough numbers to get through a season. The No. 1 thing I was looking for when we started looking at our needs was roster management — getting the depth that we need and still getting the type of players that we need.”

Although adding talent is always important, Beaty consistently has said that college football is a playerdevelopment business. Be-

cause of that, adding depth, at least initially, seems to be just as important.

“If there are areas where you’re deficient, sometimes you don’t get to say, ‘We’re just gonna go get the best dadgum players,’” Beaty said. “You don’t get to do that. You’ve gotta have the depth.”

According to Beaty, sufficient depth for a program hoping to compete in the

Cowboys 24, Lions 20 Arlington, Texas — In their first playoff game in five years, the Dallas Cowboys needed a rally and some clutch plays.

They got them in beating the Detroit Lions 24-20 Sunday in an NFC wild-card game — along with a key reversal on a pass interference penalty.

Tony Romo threw two touchdown passes to Terrance Williams, the second for 8 yards for the winning points with 2:32 to go. That brought the Cowboys (13-4) back from a 14-point deficit.

Next is a trip to Green Bay, their first visit there in the postseason since the Ice Bowl loss in 1967.

It’s no small challenge.

Sixteen players listed on KU’s two-deep depth chart during the final week of the 2014 season — 10 of them on defense — will not be a part of the 2015 roster.

While having so many openings gives Beaty the

(9-4) ended the season on a three-game winning streak.

Arkansas State (7-6) pulled within 49-38 in the fourth quarter, but could get no closer. The Red Wolves were playing in their fourth straight GoDaddy Bowl and fell to 2-2 over that span.

Arkansas State’s Fredi Knighten threw for 403 yards and five touchdowns.

It was an entertaining game that featured three defensive touchdowns, six touchdowns of at least 40 yards and Arkansas State linebacker Xavier Woodson getting kicked out of the game for “threatening an official.”

Big numbers were the norm, even outside of Hunt’s record-setting performance. Knighten’s day was tempered by two costly fumbles that were both returned for touchdowns. Arkansas State’s Booker Mays caught five passes for 138 yards and three touchdowns.

The two teams combined for 1,009 total yards.

Hunt’s stellar performance wasn’t a surprise — he’s been piling up numbers for more than year.

The Willoughby, Ohio, native moved into a starting role midway through his freshman season and has run for at least 100 yards

Rebels come up short on boards

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

When UNLV coach Dave Rice watched his team knock off No. 3 Arizona in December in Las Vegas, he pointed to the Rebels’ 13-rebound advantage on the glass as one of the biggest reasons for the upset.

Sunday, during a 7661 loss at 13th-ranked Kansas University, Rice and company were on the other side of the rebounding battle and paid for it dearly.

Kansas, 11-2 after the hard-fought nonconference finale, out-rebound-

ed UNLV (9-5) 45-31 on Sunday, including 17-7 on the offensive end.

“We had trouble rebounding the ball early in the season,” Rice said.

“But in the last four games, including Wyoming, Utah and Arizona, we outrebounded all those teams, and then today we gave up 17 offensive rebounds. We just did not do a good enough job with our guards getting rebounds.”

Rice put at least part of the blame on his backcourt because the UNLV big men held their own with KU’s big bodies.

“Christian (Wood, 8

rebounds) and Goodluck (Okonoboh, 7) and Dwayne (Morgan, 1) were all tied up with their big guys, and our guards have to do a better job of getting in there and getting rebounds,” Rice said. “A big part of that is that Kansas is a very physical, athletic team.”

Look no farther than wing Kelly Oubre Jr. for proof of that claim.

Though 10 players suited up for Sunday’s game were listed as taller than the 6-foot-7 Oubre, the freshman who played his high school ball at Findlay Prep in Las Vegas led everyone with 10 re-

bounds, eight of them on the defensive end.

“He just continues to get better,” Rice said of Oubre, whom he saw play plenty in person during the past couple of years.

“He is a versatile guy.

That’s the first word that comes to mind is versatility. He can handle the ball. He can score on the block. He is a perfect complementary guy for their team. He is going to be a fantastic player.”

Coming up short in the battle of the boards was a big reason the Rebels lost Sunday. But it was far from the only reason.

After surviving an open-

ing 13-4 surge from Kansas, UNLV actually led by four at halftime. The lead was short-lived, though, as KU scored the first seven points of the second half and never trailed after that.

UNLV senior Cody Doolin said KU’s defensive intensity had a lot to do with the Jayhawks’ strong second half.

“Their pressure affected us a little bit,” said Doolin, who finished with 12 points and seven assists in 36 minutes. “We just have to be a little stronger and tougher.”

Added Rice: “We gotta start second halves bet-

ter, for sure. But they didn’t out-effort us in the second half. They just out-executed us.”

Despite the loss, Doolin said Sunday’s experience, which was the first of its kind for most UNLV players, was something he thought would serve them well the rest of the season.

“If you can play well in this building, you can probably play well anywhere,” Doolin said. “It was really fun for all of us, even though we lost.

It doesn’t get any better than that in college basketball. I think we’ll learn from it, and I think it’ll help us in the long run.”

Selden — he hit three early threes that propelled KU to a 13-4 lead and cashed another during a 23-6 run that turned a 5149 deficit into a 72-57 lead — was asked to rate this year’s highlight-reel play with the one versus Baylor.

“I don’t know. It was probably pretty equal, seeing we scored off both of them,” Selden said with a smile.

Last year’s play resulted in a bucket by Joel Embiid.

“We need more of that,” added Selden, who finished with 16 points and three boards in 37 minutes. “We didn’t have much of that last year.

This year, not too much.

We’re trying to get more hustle plays, get on the ground as a team. That will spark energy.”

Selden’s hustle play came shortly after a dandy drive and dunk

by Jamari Traylor (nine boards, four points, three blocks) that tied the game at 33 early in the second half. UNLV had led by four at the break, Traylor waking up the team and the crowd a bit with the vicious slam.

“That was a huge energy boost. I think that helped us out a lot, got the guys going, got the bench more into it,” said point guard Mason, who had 18 points, seven assists, four steals and two turnovers in 38 minutes.

Coach Bill Self says the play by Traylor “changed the whole game from an energy standpoint. Jamari

Of Selden’s dive and resulting bucket on the other end, Self noted: “That’s the kind of play that should give your team confidence to not only win games, but develop an identity for yourself. We’ve not had many plays like that this year. That was great.”

Selden drilled a three to open a 9-0 run that stretched a 63-57 lead to 15 points at 3:39. Selden also hit two free throws, while Cliff Alexander scored four points in the surge. Alexander scored 10 points off 5-of-12 shooting and had five boards in 21 minutes. Ellis had 16 points, nine boards and three assists.

“We treated this game like a conference game since everybody else was playing (conference games),” said Self, whose Jayhawks lost a home game to San Diego State on the first Sunday of

January last season, heading into Big 12 action on a low note.

“UNLV is good enough, talented enough to do well in our league. They’ve got real guys — two real, real guys,” Self added of Vaughn and Christian Wood (12 points off 5-of12 shooting, eight boards, 37 minutes).

KU outscored UNLV, 47-28, the second half.

The Jayhawks hit 60 percent of their second-half shots after struggling to 32.4 percent the first half. KU hit 44.8 overall to UNLV’s 40.7 percent mark.

“Defensively, we got into rhythm and rebounded the heck out of

Perry was Perry, rocksolid. Kelly did a terrific job on Vaughn. Wayne was great, and Frank ... he was awesome, awesome.

“I don’t know if we’ve ever leaned on a player as we’ve leaned on Frank, maybe Thomas (Robinson) or Tyshawn (Taylor), maybe Wayne (Simien). He’s done a little bit of everything for us. The kid does play. He played great.”

KANSAS UNIVERSITY GUARD WAYNE SELDEN JR. (1) CELEBRATES WITH WALK-ON JOSH POLLARD during a timeout in the second half of the Jayhawks’ 76-61 victory over UNLV on Sunday at Allen Fieldhouse.

NOTEBOOK

Prep Bragg to announce Thursday

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Blue-chip, five-star Cleveland power forward Carlton Bragg will announce his college choice at 1:45 p.m. Central time Thursday at Villa Angela St. Joseph High School, ESPN.com’s Reggie Rankin reported Sunday.

The 6-foot-9, 225-pound Bragg, who is ranked No. 14 nationally by Rivals.com, will choose Kansas University, Kentucky or Illinois.

Bragg made an official visit to KU for the Late Night in the Phog seasonopening celebration. He made an unofficial visit to UK for Big Blue Madness and also has made an unofficial visit to Illinois.

If KU lands Bragg, it could also help in the recruitment of UK and KU target Jaylen Brown, a 6-7 senior from Wheeler High in Marietta, Georgia, who is ranked No. 2 by Rivals.com. Bragg has said he’d like to play in college with Brown and No. 18 Brandon Ingram, 6-8 from Kinston (North Carolina) High, who is also considering KU and UK. Bragg received scholarship offers from more than 20 schools, including Indiana, Texas, Michigan State, UConn, Louisville, Ohio State and Pittsburgh.

“I have taken my visits and I am ready to make the big decision. This will allow me to devote all my attention to winning a state championship at Villa Angela-St. Joseph,” Bragg told ESPN.com.

KANSAS’ KELLY OUBRE JR. (12) SMILES at former Findlay Prep teammate and UNLV guard Rashad Vaughn after a bucket during the first half.

Bragg averaged 18.7 points and 8.5 rebounds a game his junior season of high school.

“He is a stretch four.

He can shoot the jumper, run the floor real well, and that’s what people love about him,” Bragg’s mentor, Michael Graves, told Zagsblog.com. “His upside is unlimited. He’s just gotta keep doing the hard work and stay hungry and humble.”

After his visit to KU, Bragg told Jayhawkslant. com: “It was just a great visit. Before Late Night in the Phog started, we (other recruits) hung out with the team in the locker room and stuff like that. Man, I just loved my visit to Kansas and it was a great experience.” l

Bumps, bruises: KU sophomore Brannen Greene missed one threepointer in his eight-minute stint in KU’s 76-61 victory over UNLV on Sunday in Allen Fieldhouse. He has been slowed by a sore neck.

“It’s been bothering him awhile,” coach Bill Self said, noting there is no structural damage.

“Sometimes he wakes up and it feels better than other days. There’s nothing structural we can do with it except just rehab. He had his best practice he’s had all year (Saturday). I thought he was going to play great today. Before the game he said, ‘Coach, I don’t even think I can play.’ He wanted to give it a shot.

He wasn’t himself moving. We wanted to try it.

It didn’t work out very well.”

Sophomore guard Frank Mason III rubbed his right leg at various junctures during the game.

“I got hit in my shin. It was sore from last game.

It brought back a little bit of pain from last game,” he said.

Also, sophomore Tyler Self didn’t suit up for the game because of a concussion sustained at a recent practice. He’s ex-

pected to return to action soon.

Landen Lucas did not play, while Svi Mykhailiuk was used two minutes (coach’s decision). Eight players were used.

“Landen has played great. Hunter (Mickelson) has been good at practice, but those three big guys today played (really well),” Self said of Perry Ellis, Jamari Traylor and Cliff Alexander. “We were up 13-4 in large part because of Jamari. Obviously, the second half he changed the whole game from a momentum standpoint with his energy. Perry was solid and good, Cliff solid and good. I didn’t see any reason to go deeper than those guys.”

Of the rotation in league play, Self said: “A lot depends on Devonté (Graham, sprained right big toe). We’ll let you know if he can get on the court moving forward.

That would change our team. I’d like to see Svi and Brannen both play well. If we were able to get that done, we have five really good perimeter players and five capable bigs. The reality is, you will play three bigs, with the fourth spot minutes, and play four perimeter players, with the fifth spot minutes, for the most part. I think we are really close to figuring that out.” l

Cliff’s line: Alexander had six points off 3-of-5 shooting and a block in 11 minutes the second half after scoring four points off 2-of-7 shooting with

five boards in 10 minutes the first half.

“Coach told me at halftime I needed to start playing with a bigger motor. That’s what I tried to do,” Alexander said. “Go after every ball and dunk everything I could.” l

Oubre vs.

Vegas school: Kelly Oubre Jr. guarded his former Findlay Prep teammate, Rashad Vaughn, much of the game. Oubre had 12 points and 10 boards in 35 minutes; Vaughn had 10 points and four boards in 27 minutes.

“It was good to bring back that rivalry we had in practice every day last year,” Oubre said.

“We are very competitive. Last year it was amped up every day in practice. Now we know we have to be smart.

We’re at the next level.

We were just saying (on court), ‘Keep going hard.

Keep going hard. You go at me and I at you.’

“He hit a three and patted me on the butt. That’s him being competitive,” Oubre added. “In the second half, it was a different story. That was my response. I didn’t do much talking. I tried to let my actions do it.”

Vaughn scored two points the second half off 1-of-6 shooting.

“He won’t admit to this. I think he was into a personal deal a little bit,” Self said of Oubre going against his buddy. “When he said, ‘Just go play,’ he was so much better, and his production was even better in a personal deal.”

right spot on the glass while all that other stuff is going on around him. That comes from natural physical gifts, basketball smarts and an insatiable desire to improve through working at it. Mason grades straight A’s in all those areas.

The only healthy scholarship point guard on the roster at the moment, Mason played through a sore shin that left him limping a couple of different times and delivered 18 points, seven assists, four rebounds and four steals in 38 minutes of a 76-61 victory against a young, talented UNLV team that had defeated Arizona and Temple.

“He’s the guy who makes that whole thing go,” Vegas coach Dave Rice said of Mason.

Of late, Mason has made Kansas go faster both as quarterback and receiver on the break. He starts breaks as well as he finishes them for a team better in transition than in the half-court. Still, when defenses retreat sufficiently, Mason’s the main man in seeing that good shots are taken, and he accomplishes that with the steady pressure he puts on the defense.

“He’s the guy who organizes and gets the ball where it needs to get to,” Rice said. “He was the guy who was first on our scouting report.”

Asked how unusual it is for a player Mason’s size to score against length, Rice launched into everything he admires about Mason’s game.

“I think that’s obviously why he was recruited to Kansas, because he’s a fantastic player, and he’ll be one of many in a long tradition of great guards at Kansas,” Rice said. “He is certainly somebody who can help them make a deep run in the NCAA Tournament.

“You don’t fully appreciate him until you watch him play a few times.

He just always makes the right play, plays at a great pace. When his team needs a basket, he scores a basket. Most of the time, he’s the guy who makes the play, gets it to an inside player, or hurries it up on the break or gets a steal. He just makes all the right plays.”

Mason’s hard drives to the hoops resulted in Alexander being left alone on the baseline. Mason found him quickly, and Alexander cashed in with a short jumper and then dribbled himself to a dunk, a pair of plays that helped Alexander’s confidence, which is coming along.

Mason’s play might surprise many, but he’s not among them.

“I always knew I was capable of playing this well, even though I still don’t think I’m playing to my full potential,” Mason said. “I’m trying to do what my teammates need me to do and what coach wants me to do.”

Trying and succeeding.

Dear Annie: I lost my grandmother to suicide when I was 7. The day before Grandma died, she made comments to me about “going to be with her mother,” who had died. I did not understand what she was saying.

Several weeks after the funeral, I told my mother what my grandmother said to me.

For years after, it felt as though my mother blamed me for her mother’s death.

Two years ago, I overheard my mother tell a friend that she did, in fact, blame me for my grandmother’s death. I cannot tell you how much this hurt me. I am now in my 30s, and my mother and I have had other issues in the past, but never as hurtful as this. Since my grandmother’s death, I have been in counseling for depression, my own suicide attempts and the

guilt that I feel.

The therapists have told me that Grandma’s death was not my fault, but how can I believe them when my own mother blames me? How do I explain to her that I was only 7 and didn’t understand what Grandma was telling me? — Abandoned Dear Abandoned: You know your grandmother’s death was not your fault. You understand that at the age of 7, you could not possibly be held responsible for

‘Bachelor’ and ‘Roadshow’ turn 19 As my wife once observed when an improbable couple announced their divorce: “I’m not surprised they got married. I was shocked they had a second date.”

That sums up my feelings about “The Bachelor” (7 p.m., ABC). I’m not impressed that it’s entering its 19th season. I just can’t understand why an audience stuck around for the second.

This year’s spectacle stars C h r i s Soules, who introduced himself as “Prince Farming” on last season’s installment of “The Bachelorette.” Help yourself.

Look for Jimmy Kimmel to host one episode.

O Also entering its 19th season, “Antiques Roadshow” (7 p.m., PBS) will spend three weeks in New York. Among the treasures appraised: furniture seen in “The Godfather, Part II.” O Hosted by Harry Smith, “Marijuana Country: The Cannabis Boom” (8 p.m., CNBC) examines the business side of what some are calling an unprecedented “social experiment.”

A year into Colorado’s legal marijuana foray, some evidence has emerged. The promise that legal pot would end the black market trade was unfulfilled.

Some estimate that at least 40 percent of the state’s marijuana is still sold illegally. And Colorado’s unique status has made it a source for the black market in neighboring states where the substance is still illegal.

Like any emerging business, legal pot has spawned unanticipated booms as well as calls for greater regulation. The market for edible THC has skyrocketed. But many worry that consumers have little idea of the strength of the items they are so casually consuming. Older tourists on pot “vacations,” with benign memories of $20-an-ounce “weed” from the Nixon-Ford era, have been unpleasantly surprised by the dramatic changes in marijuana’s potency.

Tonight’s other highlights O An asylum guard is slain on “Gotham” (7 p.m., Fox).

O Ichabod and Abbie conspire with an angel on “Sleepy Hollow” (8 p.m., Fox).

BIRTHDAYS Actor Robert Duvall is 84.

Juan Carlos, former King of Spain, is 77. Talk show host Charlie Rose is 73. Actress-director Diane Keaton is 69. Actor Ted Lange is 67. Rock singer Marilyn Manson is 46. Actor Bradley Cooper is 40. Actress January Jones is 37.

her suicide. Your mother wants to blame you because it is less painful than blaming herself for not noticing how unhappy her mother was.

But frankly, there is no reason to blame anyone.

The depression you suffer from is likely a form of inherited mental illness. Please discuss this with your counselor, and ask about having your mother come with you.

It sounds as though she never fully processed what happened.

Dear Annie: My wife can’t stop interrupting me while I’m talking.

She either finishes my thought for me, or she just moves on to the next thing she wants to say without waiting for me to finish speaking.

My wife is aware that there is a problem, and she feels bad when I point it out, but she evidently can’t do anything about it. She doesn’t

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Monday, Jan. 5: This year you open up to new possibilities and different ideas. You often keep your opinions to yourself.

If you are single, your love life becomes intense come fall. If you are attached, the two of you frequently can be found out on the town having fun together.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) ++++ Your instincts are likely to lead you down a new path. Solutions seem to come to you easily.

Tonight: All smiles.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) +++ Many of your experiences and thoughts will play into your actions. You often think too much about certain decisions. Tonight: Go along with a suggestion.

even realize she’s doing it unless I tell her, “You interrupted me again.”

There are times when I don’t feel like talking to her because I know she’s just going to cut me off.

What can either of us do? — Cut Short Dear Cut: If your wife truly wants to stop and you are willing to make the effort, you can train each other. First check your own speech habits.

Do you drone on and on?

Do you repeat yourself?

Work on shorter sentences, and then help your wife learn to wait until you are finished before speaking. This will require that she make a genuine effort, and you will need to remind her, gently, each time she interrupts.

— Send questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or Annie’s Mailbox, P.O. Box 118190 Chicago, IL 60611.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ++++ Consider working from home, where you would feel much more content. As a result, you could ease a lot of the tension in your life.

Tonight: Gather with friends.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ++++ You might want to consider your options more carefully.

Discussions will create diverse ideas.

Tonight: Accept an invitation.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ++++ You have a lot to do, and you will accomplish it, as long as you don’t get involved in a situation where a friend could hold you back.

Tonight: Off to the gym.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) +++++ Your imagination encourages you to sing a different tune. Know that anything is possible.

Tonight: Let the party begin.
