‘I’M A KANSAS GUY’

Nick Krug/Journal-World Photos

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA INTRODUCES HIMSELF TO PRESCHOOLER MICHELLE YEMBA, 4, and tells her that he also knows someone named Michelle. “One of my favorite people’s named Michelle,” said Obama, referring to the first lady. The president met with youngsters Thursday at the Community Children’s Center at Plymouth Congregational Church, 925 Vermont St., before delivering a speech at Kansas University’s Anschutz Pavilion, below. During his stay in Lawrence, he elaborated on some of the themes in Tuesday’s State of the Union address, including child care, education and equal pay.

Thousands greet President Obama during historic visit to Lawrence

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Kansas University provided the stage Thursday for President Barack Obama to drum up public support for initiatives that he says would improve the economic condition of the American middle class.

Speaking to a mostly enthusiastic crowd estimated at 7,150 people at the Anschutz Sports Pavilion, Obama stood in front of a banner bearing the central theme of his Tuesday night State of the Union speech, “middle class economics.”

“And that’s something that, by the way, shouldn’t be a Democratic or a Republican issue. That

should be an American issue,” Obama said, eliciting applause.

“All of us should want that kind of success for the middle class and everybody who’s willing to work hard to try to get into the middle class.”

Before launching into his policy initiatives, Obama warmed up the crowd by talking about his Kansas roots, noting that his mother and grandparents were all from south-central Kansas.

“So I’m a Kansas guy,” he said, prompting a round of applause.

He also joked about how that hasn’t always helped him politically. Although he won the 2008 Democratic caucuses in Kansas,

Thursday’s presentation at the Kansas Union by representatives of the Polish Embassy was also a memorial for Cienciala, at which several colleagues from around the world remembered her life and scholarship, which included hundreds of articles and a book called “Katyn: A Crime Without Punishment,” about the 1940 massacre of thousands of Polish nationals by the Soviet secret police.

Many at the memorial spoke fondly of Cienciala’s kindness, humility and work ethic.

“She’s been a dear colleague, mentor and adviser since I came here in 1970,” said Norman Saul, KU professor emeritus of history. “She helped me with many projects.”

King Abdullah, Saudi Arabian monarch, dead at 90 Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (ap) — King Abdullah, the powerful U.S. ally who joined Washington’s fight against al-Qaida and sought to modernize the ultraconservative Muslim kingdom, died Friday, according to Saudi state TV. He was 90.

His expected succes-

sor is his 79-year-old halfbrother, Prince Salman, who recently had taken on the ailing Abdullah’s responsibilities.

Abdullah assertively threw his oil-rich nation’s weight behind trying to shape the Middle East. His priority was to counter the

influence of the nation’s rival, the mainly Shiite Iran, wherever it tried to make advances. He and fellow Sunni Arab monarchs also staunchly opposed the Middle East’s wave of prodemocracy uprisings, seeing them as a threat to stability and their own rule.

Commissioners concerned about Wicked email Town Talk

Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

T

wo city commissioners are expressing concern about an email they received Wednesday from the leader of Lawrence-based Wicked Broadband.

Commissioners Bob Schumm and Terry Riordan, who both are running for re-election, said the email from Wicked co-owner Joshua

Montgomery crossed a line by insinuating that Montgomery could deliver nearly 1,200 votes to their campaigns if the commissioners approve a $300,000 loan guarantee and other city incentives the company is seeking as part of a project to bring gigabit Internet service to part of Lawrence.

“It struck me as being inappropriate,” said Schumm, who was asked about the email after the Journal-World obtained a copy of it Wednesday.

“It pushes the envelope to the edge of what is ethical.”

The email’s subject line is “1,184 votes in Lawrence municipal elections.” The email

then goes on to inform Schumm and Riordon that Montgomery has been “organizing a block of voters for this upcoming election.” Montgomery wrote that he has 1,184 voters committed to voting in the primary and general elections.

He said the main issue that will determine their votes is the idea of a

high-speed broadband network in the city.

The email closes by asking Schumm and Riordan to meet with Montgomery to “discuss your position on the issue and how we might be able to work together for the benefit of Lawrence.”

REV. LEO BARBEE, LEFT, AND REV. WILLIAM DULIN were honored Thursday with the MLK Heart of Service Award at the Lawrence school district’s Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Celebration. The award is given to those such as students, staff and community members who have had a significant impact through consistent, outstanding service. The event is sponsored by the school district and the Lawrence Ecumenical Fellowship.

School district’s MLK celebration highlights community involvement

By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @ConradSwanson

The Martin Luther King Community Choir sang praises to their namesake Thursday night in the auditorium of Lawrence High School. As they sang, the audience began to clap and join in.

“Equality and unity.

This is what I think of when I think of the king,”

the choir of children sang. “Freedom and liberty is the legacy of Martin Luther King.”

Around 6:30 p.m., several hundred people gathered in Lawrence High School’s auditorium for the school district’s Martin Luther King Jr. Community Celebration, an annual event with a new twist for 2015.

Throughout the evening, awards from four

different categories were given out. The awards recognized those who impacted the community through their service, character, activism and courage to envision change.

Reverends Leo Barbee and William Dulin were both given the MLK Heart of Service Award for a lifetime of work and dedication to their community.

“My motto is, ‘Love God, love people. Serve God, serve people,’” Barbee said. “I try to be an asset to the community and not a liability.”

Dulin said he was surprised and honored to be recognized at the ceremony.

“But there’s still a lot of work to be done. And I’m just one of many.

No man is an island,” he said.

Former Kansas University student Julian M. Kuszmaul, of Lawrence, was sentenced to three years in the Douglas County Jail Thursday after being convicted in December of second-offense DUI, refusing to submit to alcohol or drug testing and possession of marijuana in connection with an August 2012 accident that cost a fellow KU student his legs.

A Ford Explorer Kuszmaul was driving during the early-morning hours of Aug. 26, 2012, struck and pinned 18-year-old Colby Liston, now 20, between Kuszmaul’s vehicle and another. The vehicle Liston was standing behind was illegally parked in a driving lane of the 1600 block Kuszmaul of Tennessee Street, according to court testimony.

After the accident, Liston’s legs had to be amputated above the knee.

Blood test results, which the court ordered to be suppressed in 2013 because the blood draw was taken without Kuszmaul’s consent, showed Kuszmaul had a bloodalcohol content of 0.25 — three times the legal limit of 0.08 — when he struck Liston.

Even without the test results, Judge Kay Huff said she could find Kuszmaul guilty because of testimony during the December bench trial in which two Lawrence police officers, Brett Horner and Ronald Ivener, said Kuszmaul “smelled strongly” of marijuana and alcohol after the incident.

Liston solemnly looked on with his parents as Kuszmaul was sentenced, and the Kuszmaul family broke into tears. Huff called the situation “the tragedy for everybody, with two young men’s lives changed forever.”

Two candidates file to run for two-year spot on school board

Two more candidates have filed to run for the Lawrence school board, one a newcomer and another who is a veteran of the board.

Kelly Spurgeon, a program consultant at the Kansas State Department of Education, and Mary Loveland, a former board member of 20 years, both filed for the lone twoyear term that is up for grabs in the April 7 election.

A renewed push for early education Obama uses Head Start as positive example

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Toddlers at the Community Children’s Center preschool in Lawrence started becoming curious Thursday morning when, in the middle of their normal activities, a phalanx of reporters filed into the room.

“They have cameras,” one little girl observed.

One of their teachers reminded them that a “special visitor” was coming that day. A few minutes later, the door opened and the president of the United States walked into the room, saying, “Hello everybody.”

But even in a room full of preschoolers, the President Obama couldn’t go unrecognized.

“I saw you on my TV,” one student said.

And the president made an immediate connection with another girl when 4-year-old Michelle Yemba, daughter of Bonisace Yemba and Sylvie Paluku, introduced herself.

“You know, I know a Michelle,” the president said. “One of my favorite people is named Michelle.”

It’s a time-honored tradition for politicians to enhance their family-friendly images by surrounding themselves with cute children. But this particular stop on Obama’s visit to Lawrence was about more than just a photo opportunity. It was about

Doug Mills/New York Times

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA JOKES WITH AKIRA COOPER as she practices her numbers Thursday morning at the Community Children’s Center, housed at Plymouth Congregational Church, 925 Vermont St. drawing attention to one of the central themes he would later discuss in his speech at Kansas University: expanding access for working-class families to child care and early childhood education.

“I want to make sure we’ve got universal child care to preschool for all,” Obama said in his speech.

“It’s the best investment we can make. It is the right thing to do. We can do more to help families make ends meet.”

The preschool was the Community Children’s Center, housed at Plymouth Congregational Church, 925 Vermont St. It’s one of the longestoperating Head Start preschools in the country.

The White House called the center “a model of the high-quality early

education” that Obama says should be available to all children in the United States. It has small class sizes and provides extended-day services from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. as well as “wrap-around” supports such as health evaluations and family consultations.

But it’s also a program that suffered a setback in 2013, when a budget stalemate between the White House and Congress resulted in automatic budget cuts known as sequestration. Head Start programs in Lawrence lost $17,000 in federal funding through those cuts, forcing it to close one preschool site at Edgewood Homes, 1600 Haskell Ave., and consolidate services at Plymouth Congregational.

“We are proud of the fact that the church stepped up to the plate and found extra money to pay for Head Start when those funds were sequestered because we felt so, so committed to this program,” said pastor Peter Luckey. “We were just really chagrined that the sequestration happened and that children and families that are marginalized and vulnerable in the community were going to be adversely affected by it.”

In his budget message to Congress this week, Obama said his goal is to ensure universal access to child care assistance for all eligible families within 10 years.

That would involve expansion of the federal Early Head Start-Child Care Partnerships pro-

gram, which targets children age 3 and younger; increased funding for federal Child Care and Development Fund, which subsidizes child care for low- and moderateincome families; and increasing the duration of Head Start to a full school day and year.

Luckey said the church is “completely supportive” of Obama’s proposals for early childhood education.

“This is something the church feels very deeply about,” he said. “And this has been the central core of our mission since 1966 — to provide this program for low-income families.”

You could have knocked me down with a feather. I’m very proud of our community. It was great to see all the excitement.”

Twitter: @clawhorn_ljw

Lawrence Mayor Mike Amyx isn’t sure he’s quite mastered the celebrity smile just yet. But when you hang around with President Barack Obama, you had better figure it out.

Amyx was part of a group of people who got to shake Obama’s hand and exchange a few brief words with the president before his speech Thursday at Anschutz Sports Pavilion. Amyx also got his photo taken with the president, and that’s when Amyx noticed something odd start to happen.

“I had a bunch of people I didn’t know who wanted to take a photo with me because I took a photo with him,” Amyx said. “It was wild.”

It was that kind of day in Lawrence.

The 103-year drought since the last time a sitting president visited Lawrence was broken.

A 4-year-old with a bullhorn participated in one of a handful of protests around town. And a local pizza delivery driver will always wonder whether she had just delivered — indirectly, anyway — pizza to the president.

“We joked about, ‘What if these are for the president?’” Jon Studtman, general manager at Minsky’s Pizza, said about the nine to 10 large pizzas that were ordered by a guest at the Holiday Inn. When the delivery driver arrived about noon Thursday, she reported the pizzas had indeed been for a crew of Secret Service officials.

“I would like to think that Mr. Obama got to try a slice,” Studtman said.

The timing suggests that may be unlikely. But who knows, perhaps the

HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE GATHER OUTSIDE PLYMOUTH CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH to snap photos of President Barack Obama as he leaves the Community Children’s Center on Thursday, before his speech at Kansas University. leader of the free world issued an executive order to save him a slice.

Scores and scores of Lawrence residents were left to let their imaginations run wild about the president and what he may or may not do in Lawrence. Amyx, a downtown barber shop owner and longtime mayor and city commissioner, said he had a hard time imagining what it was going to be like to shake the president’s hand and make a few brief comments. Amyx said he thanked the president for his service and managed to make a brief statement about Lawrence’s efforts to build a technical training center, thinking it tied in well with Obama’s remarks in the State of the Union address about community colleges.

But Amyx said he was surprised by what happened a few moments later. The president, during his address, thanked Amyx by name for the community’s hospitality. Amyx was one of

just three people Obama mentioned in the opening, with the other two being Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little and former U.S. Sen. Bob Dole.

“You could have knocked me down with a feather,” Amyx said about hearing his name on stage. “I’m very proud of our community. It was great to see all the excitement. Stories from this day will fill a lot of time in this barber shop for a long time.”

The town generally was in a good mood to see the president. Protests surrounding the event were relatively sparse.

A group of about eight members of the Missouri chapter of Overpasses for America came to demonstrate on the Irving Hill overpass that spans Iowa Street and connects KU’s main campus with West Campus.

The group promotes the idea that “government is the problem and is in need of massive reform.” When asked about specific issues

they were protesting Thursday, one member said to wait a second and he would get out his list. Then he took out his wallet and removed a list that he carries with him: Benghazi, the IRS, Fast and Furious, and “that Obamacare is just a terrible mess.”

Just up the street, there was a larger demonstration of about 20 people.

It mainly was comprised of Obama supporters who were there to urge the president to remain strong in his opposition to the Keystone XL pipeline project.

The group would chant, “Keep the tar sands in the soil,” and then 4-year-old Everett White — with the aid of a bullhorn — would add, “We don’t want that dirty oil.” Another sign read: “Don’t be chicken, use your veto.” It came complete with a rubber chicken tied to it.

Signs weren’t the only thing to be seen, though.

T-shirts commemorating the day also were avail-

Campus-wide effort pays off A lot of people at Kansas University did a lot of work in a very short amount of time to prepare for President Barack Obama’s visit to the university on Thursday.

KU’s point person for working with the White House to organize the elaborate logistics was Charlie Persinger, director of university ceremonies and special events.

Persinger, who’s been at KU six years, said this was the first presidential visit he’s coordinated.

“I came from Iowa,” he said. “We always handled a lot of campaign stops, but nothing to this magnitude.”

With the president safely back on Air Force One and on his way out of Kansas Thursday afternoon, Persinger said he was working to tally and identify all the KU people who helped since the White House publicly announced Obama’s visit less than a week earlier.

Those included the KU Wind Ensemble and Department of Music, KU Office of Public Safety, KU Dining, SUA and Facilities Services, to name just a few.

“It was truly a campus-wide experience,” Persinger said, adding, “all on short notice.”

able. ACME, a Lawrencebased shop downtown, was capitalizing off the event by selling shirts with a drawing of Obama’s face and the phrase “Barack Chalk.” Cody Drake, an assistant manager at the shop, said the T-shirt design actually had been available for about three years at the store, but sales recently took off with the news that the president was coming to Lawrence.

There also were more serious sentiments expressed Thursday. Obama made a visit to the Community Children’s Center, a Head Start preschool at Plymouth Congregational Church. The church was founded in 1854 before Kansas was even a state.

Its founders were abolitionists who were deeply committed to ending slavery. Peter Luckey, senior pastor at the church, said it wasn’t lost on him that it was fitting America’s first black president was in Lawrence, a town founded on the idea of ending slavery.

“To feel like our history is some small part of the story that made it possible that a black man could be president of the United States,” Luckey said. “Well, it is a special day.”

Indeed, it was that kind of day in Lawrence.

Jason Condiff

‘Awesomer’ in person Before Obama boarded Air Force One Thursday afternoon at Forbes Field, he took a few minutes to shake hands and chat with spectators on the runway.

One of those spectators was Jason Condiff, 10, who attends Quail Run Elementary in Lawrence. Condiff shook Obama’s hand and snagged a photo with him.

“I’m so happy I can’t even talk,” said the fourth-grader, clad in a Jayhawk beanie and a blue jacket.

Jason and his mother, Rebecca, were among the 200 spectators who received special invitations to watch Air Force One’s departure. He said he never thought he would meet the president.

He said Obama looked “awesomer” in person.

“It’s probably gonna be the best thing of my life,” he said.

‘Barack Chalk Jayhawk’ KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little met the president once before Thursday, a few years ago in Washington, D.C. So she was ready with a good quip when welcoming Obama to KU and announcing to the crowd that he would be out shortly.

The crowd loved the chancellor’s closing line: “Barack Chalk Jayhawk!”

he lost the state by wide margins in the general elections in 2008 and 2012.

“We’re sorry,” one person in the audience shouted, to which Obama replied: “Coach (Bill) Self won 10 straight. I lost two straight here. But that’s OK. Listen, I love you, and I might have won sections of Lawrence.

That’s possible.”

Working families Much of the speech focused on Obama’s budget proposals for expanding access to child care and early childhood education. He said: “I don’t want anybody being ‘daycare poor.’”

To emphasize that point, he was introduced at the podium by Alyssa Cole, a KU senior majoring in history and African and African-American studies.

A single mother, Cole said she had written to the president in 2013 about education and childcare, saying she felt pressured to choose between her education, working and taking care of her children.

“In the United States, we should have the opportunity to pursue a career and an education while at the same time building quality lives for ourselves and our children,” Cole said.

In his speech, Obama noted that he average cost of full-time daycare for an infant at a child care center is about $10,000 per year, higher than the average cost of in-state tuition at a public four-year university.

His budget proposal calls for tripling the maximum child care tax credit to $3,000 per child and expanding federal child care subsidies to cover all families with young chil-

dren up to 200 percent of the federal poverty level, or about $40,000 a year for a family of three.

The president also talked about his higher education proposals, including two years of free community college tuition for qualifying students and lower monthly payments on student loan debt.

But he got perhaps his biggest applause of the day when he reiterated his call for passage of pay equity legislation that would require that women be paid the same as men for doing the same work.

“I mean, come on, now, it’s 2015,” Obama said.

Late to see the president? Some with tickets turned away

By Chad Lawhorn and Sara Shepherd Twitter: @LJWorld

Dozens of people who had tickets to President Barack Obama’s speech Thursday at Kansas University were turned away at the door, starting about an hour before Obama took the podium.

The facility wasn’t over capacity, organizers say. Rather, as is routine with presidential appearances, the day’s schedule fluctuates to accommodate the president’s movements, and at that time the president had gotten to the building.

“Based upon the White House instructions, when the president arrives in the building security just goes into lockdown mode, just like when he is in the White House,” said Charlie Persinger, KU’s director of university ceremonies and special events.

A cheering crowd inside Anschutz Sports Pavilion welcomed Obama when he took the podium about 11:30 a.m., shortly after the originally announced start time of approximately 11:20 a.m.

However, Obama arrived at

MEMBERS OF THE ALAM FAMILY of Kansas City, Mo., were among dozens of visitors ticketed to see President Barack Obama’s speech who were turned away by security at 10:30 a.m. Thursday. “I was so mad I wanted to throw my shoe at them,” said 8-year-old Shubham Alam. the facility considerably earlier and greeted VIPs before taking the stage, Persinger said.

“He was in the wings,” Persinger said.

A White House spokesman declined to comment specifically on the doors closing at KU. But it’s normal for access to presidential appearances to

close early, and many details about the president’s schedule are not publicly announced in advance.

Persinger said that’s why organizers could not announce when doors would close, and why they tried to emphasize the 8:30 a.m. opening.

Most of the crowd had passed

through security in the pavilion parking lot by 10:20 a.m., and people who had been in line got in.

Some KU employees working as event volunteers tried to hurry people who continued to straggle into the parking lot.

“I wanna see the leader of the free world, too,” one employee said. “We can’t go in until you go in.”

Finally a few minutes later, the gates were closed.

Some ticketholders who didn’t get in were crushed.

M.D. Alam, of Kansas City, Mo., and his three children, 11-year-old Sajid, 9-year-old Anupriya and 8-year-old Shubham, were among those turned away.

M.D. took off work and took his kids out of school to see the president, but said when he arrived about 10:30 a.m. he was told he was barred from entering the pavilion.

They did not get to the site as soon as they had planned because Anupriya was sick most of the night, Alam said. Though they originally planned to leave at 8:30 a.m., their departure was delayed.

“This is stupid,” Alam said.

“You give a ticket out and it doesn’t say when the doors are going to be closed.”

A few of those turned away were themselves VIPs a few minutes earlier.

When Plymouth Congregational Church senior pastor Peter Luckey arrived, ticket in hand, about 10:45 a.m., he was told nobody was getting in.

Luckey was late because shortly before he had been shaking the president’s hand during Obama’s visit to the Head Start program located at the downtown church.

Luckey said he was disappointed he didn’t get to see the president speak, and was particularly disappointed a couple of his staff members and others who were with him didn’t get to. But he said he obviously had a great day getting to meet the president and talk with him briefly.

Luckey said he shook the president’s hand, and Obama asked him to pray for his wife, his two daughters and his dog.

Luckey told him he would.

Not all about star power: KU focuses on issues, too

By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

To be sure, President Barack Obama’s star power was the driving force behind many Kansas University community members who flocked to see him speak Thursday on campus.

But plenty of students, administrators and professors were there for the issues, too.

Obama’s “middle class economics” themed speech — the phrase emblazoned on a blue banner behind the podium inside Anschutz Sports Pavilion — reiterated initiatives he pushed Tuesday in his State of the Union address.

Some of those were college-specific.

KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said when the president spoke of today’s workforce requiring more people with higher education, “that certainly includes us.”

Also included in Obama’s remarks was the need to support research, which Gray-Little said also is important to all of KU’s campuses.

William Elliott, associate professor of social welfare and director of KU’s Assets and Education Initiative, has written extensively on the value of relying on assets to pay for higher education instead of loans.

Elliott said the country needs to advance the middle-class economic framework.

“We all grow up believing that work and effort should lead to outcomes we can achieve,” he said. “That’s really at the core of what it means to be an American.”

But will Obama’s suggestions for providing free community college and forgiving existing student debt make that happen?

Elliott isn’t so sure.

He’s concerned steer-

KANSAS UNIVERSITY SOFTBALL PLAYER Morgan Bohanan left this message on her locker for the president, and got an autographed response. “Dream big!” Obama wrote in reply.

More on the president’s note in Sports, Page 1C ing more low- and middle-income children to community college could simply reinforce a “twotier system.” It could also hurt enrollment at state colleges like KU, where high-achieving but low-income students who do go to college usually would end up.

Elliott also sees bailing people out of student debt as a short-term fix,

at best.

In line with his research, Elliott said, such initiatives should not be in place of programs that help students start saving on their own earlier.

“We really have to build an infrastructure in which we’re teaching people to save, helping people to save and really helping them build assets,” Elliot said.

KU freshman Zachary Grant said Obama’s community college initiative drew him to Thursday’s speech. And he supports it.

“In order to keep up in this world, everyone has to have access to knowledge,” Grant said.

“I think it just bridges the gap.”

Sophomore Asad Morani said he, too, thinks such a program could help people get a foot in the door toward higher education.

“I know a lot of people that need a way to get involved in education, but they don’t have financial ways,” he said. “It just gives a chance to people that really don’t have that many resources.”

Of all his State of the Union initiatives, however, the president made affordable child care the theme of the day during

Holiday Inn staff had week to prepare

By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @conrad_swanson

Will Kimble said he knew President Barack Obama would be staying at Lawrence’s Holiday Inn, 200 McDonald Drive, about a week before the presidential motorcade arrived at the hotel’s doors Wednesday evening, but he wasn’t allowed to tell anybody.

Kimble, who has worked for the past two years as the hotel’s banquet supervisor, said the secret wasn’t difficult to keep, but the amount of work hotel staff put in during Obama’s stay was another matter.

“There was Secret Service, and I had to go through a metal detector to make sure there weren’t any bombs and stuff,” he said. “Everyone just kept moving around quick. We had to keep everything looking nice. It was a lot more work than usual.”

The presidential visit culminated for Kimble on Thursday morning, he said, when he caught a 30-second glimpse of Obama heading out the hotel’s doors.

“He didn’t eat at the banquet,” Kimble said.

“But Secret Service did.”

on-campus child care facility in Hilltop Child Development Center, Gray-Little said, but it’s not large enough to meet demand and it’s too expensive for many students, even with efforts to keep the cost down.

“The difficulty is affording quality and how you pay for that, that’s really the question,” the chancellor said.

Plenty of students in the star-power camp cared less what Obama was going to talk about than just seeing him — live and in person.

Saleh Alameri, a freshman from United Arab Emirates, was one of those.

“You don’t always get a chance to see the president,” Alameri said. “I’d rather seize the moment than try to fly away. This is a golden opportunity for me.”

“They have plans of how they like things to go,” she said. “And they tell the hotel what they’d

like to do, and we try to make it happen. It was a lot of work, but we were happy to do it.”

As crews hauled off concrete blocks that had been placed around the hotel grounds, Shull said many security details were set up by Obama’s staff, rather than left up to the hotel.

Shull wouldn’t speak further on Obama’s visit in relation to the Holiday Inn but added for herself: “Personally, it was a very cool experience.”

He visited young children at a Lawrence Head Start program prior to his speech. Alyssa Cole, a KU student and single mom of three who wrote to Obama about the need for affordable childcare, introduced the president at Anschutz. And he spent a significant amount of time talking about the issue during his speech.

Gray-Little said finding affordable care is a hardship for some students as well as faculty and staff at KU. “It is an issue that is important at universities, and it’s certainly one that we’ve had conversations with some of our faculty and students about this year,” she said. “It’s a continuing conversation and a continuing challenge.”

Honored guest Lawrence did a great job of rolling out the welcome mat for President Barack Obama.

A

ny day a sitting U.S. president comes to town is an exciting day.

Lawrence had the honor of hosting President Barack Obama on Thursday. Aside from a few traffic jams caused by police efforts to clear a secure path for the presidential motorcade, his visit seemed to come off without a hitch.

The president’s message, delivered at Kansas University’s Anschutz Pavilion, emphasized many of the same themes as Tuesday’s State of the Union address: the general upturn in the nation’s economy, as illustrated by growth in such areas as jobs and energy production, and his plans to help bolster America’s middle class by helping to “build a sense of security in a changing economy.” That means making college more accessible and health care more available along with providing the kind of wages middle-class Americans need to buy homes and plan for retirement. He also touched on his proposal to increase the minimum wage and drew enthusiastic applause when he mentioned his efforts to ensure women equal pay for equal work.

Obama made affordable, high-quality child care a key focus of his visit. His first stop of the morning was at the Community Children’s Center, a Head Start program housed at Plymouth Congregational Church. During his speech at KU, he drew on his Kansas roots, mentioning his grandmother who worked in a Wichita aircraft plant during World War II. Because women were desperately needed in the work force then, child care programs were part of the deal. Obama noted that the nation “knew how to do it in 1943 or ’44” and should be able to do it today. “What’s the holdup?” he asked.

In between meeting preschoolers and the waiting crowd at Anschutz, Obama had a private session with the Jayhawk basketball team. He noted the team’s position atop the Big 12 conference and he went away with a personalized Obama jersey and a signed basketball.

Obama is a gifted speaker, and he was in fine form in Lawrence. He quipped about his inability to carry Kansas in either presidential election but acknowledged he “might have won a few sections of Lawrence.” (Actually, he carried Douglas County in both 2008 and 2012.)

Regardless of their political bent, Lawrence residents should be honored

by Obama’s visit. Congratulations to all the organizers and advance workers who helped pull off this historic moment for Lawrence and what we hope was an enjoyable visit for the president.

Welfare weakens core U.S. values Washington — America’s national character will have to be changed if progressives are going to implement their agenda. So, changing social norms is the progressive agenda. To understand how far this has advanced, and how difficult it will be to reverse the inculcation of dependency, consider the data Nicholas Eberstadt deploys in National Affairs quarterly: America’s welfare state transfers more than 14 percent of GDP to recipients, with more than a third of Americans taking “needbased” payments. In our wealthy society, the government officially treats an unprecedented portion of the population as “needy.”

Transfers of benefits to individuals through social welfare programs have increased from less than one federal dollar in four (24 percent) in 1963 to almost three out of five (59 percent) in 2013. In that half-century, entitlement payments were, Eberstadt says, America’s “fastest growing source of personal income,” growing twice as fast as all other real per capita personal income.

It is probable that this year, a majority of Americans will seek and receive payments.

This is not primarily because of Social Security and Medicare transfers to an aging population. Rather, the growth is overwhelmingly in means-tested en-

titlements. More than twice as many households receive “anti-poverty” benefits than receive Social Security or Medicare. Between 1983 and 2012, the population increased by almost 83 million — and people accepting means-tested benefits increased by 67 million. So, for every 100-person increase in the population there was an 80-person increase in the recipients of means-tested payments. Food stamp recipients increased from 19 million to 51 million — more than the combined populations of 24 states.

What has changed? Not the portion of the estimated population below the poverty line (15.2 percent in 1983; 15 percent in 2012). Rather, poverty programs have become untethered from the official designation of poverty: In 2012, more than half the recipients were not classified as poor but accepted being treated as needy.

Eberstadt’s essay, “American Exceptionalism and the Entitlement State,” argues that this state is extinguish-

ing the former. America “arrived late to the 20th century’s entitlement party.” The welfare state’s European pedigree traces from post1945 Britain, back through Sweden’s interwar “social democracy,” to Bismarck’s late-19th-century social insurance. European welfare states reflected European beliefs about poverty: Rigid class structures rooted in a feudal past meant meager opportunities for upward mobility based on merit.

People were thought to be stuck in neediness through no fault of their own, and welfare states would reconcile people to intractable social structures.

Eberstadt notes that the structure of U.S. government spending “has been completely overturned within living memory,” resulting in the “remolding of daily life for ordinary Americans under the shadow of the entitlement state.” In two generations, the American family budget has been recast: In 1963, entitlement transfers were less than $1 out of every $15; by 2012, they were more than $1 out of every $6.

Causation works both ways between the rapid increase in family disintegration (from 1964 to 2012, the percentage of children born to unmarried women increased from 7 to 41) and the fact that, Eberstadt says, for many women, children and even working-

age men, “the entitlement state is now the breadwinner of the household.”

Eberstadt believes that the entitlement state poses “character challenges” because it powerfully promotes certain habits, including habits of mind. These include corruption. Since 1970, Americans have become healthier, work has become less physically stressful, the workplace has become safer — and yet there has been an almost six-fold increase in claims from Social Security Disability Insurance.

Such claims (including fraudulent ones) are gateways to a plethora of other payments.

Daniel Patrick Moynihan, a lifelong New Deal liberal and accomplished social scientist, warned that “the issue of welfare is not what it costs those who provide it, but what it costs those who receive it.” As a growing portion of the population succumbs to the entitlement state’s everexpanding menu of temptations, the costs, Eberstadt concludes, include a transformation of the nation’s “political culture, sensibilities, and tradition,” the weakening of America’s distinctive “conceptions of self-reliance, personal responsibility, and selfadvancement,” and perhaps a “rending of the national fabric.” As a result, “America today does not look exceptional at all.”

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Jan. 23, 1915: years “The Kansas ago basketball squad IN 1915 s u c c e s s f u l l y made the third hurdle on the road to a Missouri Valley Conference championship by easily defeating the Nebraska Cornhuskers by the score of 45 to 17 last night at the Robinson gymnasium.

Early in the first half Kansas took the lead and from that time was never in danger.”

Jail expansion proposal spurs questions

By Renee Wiggins, Benet Magnuson and Rick Cagan

The Douglas County Commission is considering expanding our jail. News reports suggest $20 million to $30 million may be spent to expand the jail from 196 to 336 beds. As representatives of the NAACP-Kansas, Kansas Appleseed, and NAMI-Kansas, we are concerned about this proposal because it will have a large impact on people of color, the justice system and people with mental illnesses.

In terms of both tax dollars and the effects on human lives, this is a very serious decision, and we are encouraged to see the commissioners have committed to asking tough questions before making up their minds. Here are the three biggest questions we’ve heard so far in the community: 1. The crime rate in Douglas County continues to fall. Why do we need to expand our jail?

Crime in Douglas County has fallen steadily over the last decade. In 2003, when the county’s population was 102,603, there were 5,498 crimes reported in Douglas County. In 2013, when the county’s population had grown to 113,372, law enforcement agencies reported 4,345 crimes.

Since crime is falling, why is the number of inmates at our jail rising? To answer that question, we examined the county jail bookings for the past year and were surprised at what we found: Arrests for failure to appear in municipal court for fine-only traffic citations (yes, locking people up for unpaid tickets) accounted for 10.5 percent of all bookings into our jail. Failure to appear in municipal court for other offenses accounted for another 11.2 percent. That is, over 20 percent of all bookings into our jail in the past year were for failure to appear in a court that hears only misdemeanors and city

YOUR TURN ordinance violations.

By comparison, failure to appear in district court, which hears felonies and misdemeanors, accounted for only 7.3 percent of all bookings, driving under the influence accounted for only 5 percent, and domestic battery accounted for 4.9 percent. All aggravated assaults and batteries combined accounted for less than 1.2 percent. Douglas County rightly points with pride to a per-capita incarceration rate that is low in comparison to other Kansas counties, but the high incarceration rate for minor offenses (largely from municipal court) shows our system still has a long way to go.

We don’t have a crime problem in Douglas County. We do seem to have some serious breakdowns in our criminal justice system. Expanding the jail would likely make those problems worse. With crime this low, if we expand our jail, we will either have to watch a $20 million to $30 million building sit mostly empty, or we’re going to have to fill the facility by locking up even more people for minor crimes.

2. Douglas County is quickly falling behind our neighboring counties in providing care for people in mental health crises. Why should we spend $20 million to $30 million on a jail instead of a crisis intervention center?

Johnson County and Wyandotte County now have the Rainbow Services, Inc. center to provide sobering beds as well as triage, observation and stabilization services for people experiencing a mental health crisis. Shawnee County offers similar services through the Valeo center. These programs, modeled after San Antonio’s Center for Health Care Services, have already successfully diverted people away from jails to more appropriate care.

Our county should be a leader in community mental health services, not incarceration. Twenty million dollars could build a state-of-theart mental health system in Douglas County. Money that we spend building and running an expanded jail is money that we aren’t spending on community mental health services.

3. Douglas County incarcerates people of color at a far higher rate than even the national average. Who pays the price for this jail expansion?

America today incarcerates more people than any other nation in the history of the world. A recent exhaustive report by the National Academy of Sciences documents the deep damage this mass incarceration has done to our society — to our families, to our economy, to our physical health and mental health and to our communities. Minorities, low-income families, and people with mental illnesses have paid a disproportionately high price.

As bad as the national mass incarceration rates are (nationally, 36 percent of the inmate population is black, even though only 13 percent of the general population is black), the Douglas County numbers are worse. About 25 percent of the people incarcerated in our jail are black, even though only 4.4 percent of our county population is black.

In the conversation about the tens of millions of dollars it will cost to build a bigger jail and all of the extra money it will cost to run it, we hope Douglas County doesn’t lose sight of the human costs of this proposal – costs paid disproportionately by excluded, vulnerable or less powerful families.

Assistant Douglas County District Attorney Andrew Bauch asked Huff for a 32-month sentence because that is the amount of time now given to someone convicted of reckless aggravated battery, he said. At the time of Kuszmaul’s crash, prosecutors could not use the charge of reckless aggravated battery against drunken drivers involved in injury accidents until a 2013 law passed.

a health care IT professional; and Lindsey Frye, a medical claims collector.

Ingram, who was unavailable for comment after he filed for the election, said he is running because his experience on the board will be helpful in meeting the “dismal fiscal situation in Kansas.” He said he is particularly interested in closing achievement gaps.

“There is more to be done,” he said. “I will continue to support the district’s equity work as one way to close this gap.

During my time on the

board, we implemented blended learning and the AVID program, and we are now investigating the high school AP Capstone program.”

The seat currently held by board member Randy Masten is also up for election. He had not filed for re-election as of Thursday.

Candidates have until noon Jan. 27 to submit their paperwork, which can be obtained at the Douglas County Clerk’s office, 1100 Massachusetts St., or on the county’s website, DouglasCountyKS.org.

a direct result of Kuszmaul’s case, Bauch said.

Bauch said Kuszmaul deserved the long sentence because of the irreparable harm caused to the victim.

“At the end of that time, (Kuszmaul) gets to walk out of the Douglas County Jail on his own legs,” he said.

Kuszmaul will at most only spend two years of his three-year sentence in the Douglas County Jail.

Huff gave Kuszmaul one year for each of his three charges — the DUI, refusal to submit and possession — but the first two charges’ sentences will be served concurrently.

Huff said the two charges should run at the same time because she “relied heavily on the fact of the refusal” to convict Kuszmaul of the second offense DUI. Additionally, Huff said she would consider releasing Kuszmaul to probation after he serves about a year in jail depending on his behavior behind bars.

Kuszmaul will also be able to participate in work release from the jail after he serves 10 days, Huff said. That means Kuszmaul will be able to leave jail during the day to attend work, but return to his cell at night.

the commission. Mayor Mike Amyx has pretty much forecasted that he is not going to be able to support the idea of a loan guarantee for the company. Commissioners Mike Dever and Jeremy Farmer both have been more open to the idea. Both Schumm and Riordan have expressed concerns about the proposals at various times.

Schumm reiterated those concerns on Wednesday.

“I want to bring fiber to the city in the worst way,” Schumm said. “It could create a whole new subset of entrepreneurship in the city.

I’m just not convinced a loan guarantee is the way to move it forward.”

One other twist in all of this is that Montgomery is the husband of Kristie Adair, who has filed for a seat on the Lawrence City Commission. Adair, who is currently a Lawrence school board member, also is a co-owner of Wicked Broadband.

I didn’t get a chance to chat with Adair Wednesday, but Montgomery said she was not involved in the writing of the email. He said Adair at this point is no longer involved with the day-to-day operations of Wicked Broadband.

Riordan told me when I asked him about the email. “I think we need to be honest and above board about this process, so this is concerning.”

Riordan said he has asked the city attorney to review the email and determine whether it put him in any untenable position. Riordan said he is now reluctant to even have a one-onone discussion about the broadband proposal with Montgomery.

“The whole thing looked just too much like a quid pro quo proposition,” Riordan said.

Montgomery said there was nothing inappropriate about the email. He said he wanted Schumm and Riordan — thus far the only two sitting commissioners seeking re-election — to understand that high-speed broadband was going to be a key issue in the upcoming elections.

Montgomery said he is organizing a whole contingent of people who aren’t your typical voters in City Commission elections but are very interested in

the community having gigabit Internet service, which is the same type of super-fast broadband service being offered by Google Fiber in Kansas City.

“I’m telling you, those people are going to come out and vote this time,” Montgomery said.

Montgomery also didn’t mince any words about his ability to influence the decision of those voters. He said any vote by Schumm or Riordan against Wicked’s proposal will be construed as a vote against high-speed broadband service in the city.

Montgomery told me that if Wicked’s proposal fails to win a “yes” vote from Schumm that “I can guarantee those voters won’t vote for Bob Schumm.” (At this point, I hadn’t yet confirmed Riordan also had received the email, so his name hadn’t come up in the interview.)

The timing certainly isn’t coincidental. City commissioners are scheduled to again hear Wicked’s request for incentives at their Tuesday evening meeting.

Conventional wisdom holds that Montgomery needs to win a vote from either Schumm or Riordan to have a chance of victory with

Jayhawks savor presidential visit

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Obama provides advice Alicia Spack, director of operations for the Kansas University softball team, let the players know via text Tuesday that their locker room would be off limits Thursday because it was going to be used as essentially the green room for the president of the United States, before making his speech at Anschutz Pavilion.

Morgan Bohanan, a freshman infielder from Goddard, was told by a couple of her teammates that a Secret Service agent told them, “Why don’t you write him a note?”

So several players did just that.

Katelyn Schumacher wrote, “HI MR. PRESIDENT — hope you Bohanan enjoy our fine establishment!” At the bottom of the note, which was posted next to an American flag, she wrote “Sign here,” and left a line on which she wanted him to leave his autograph. President Barack Obama obliged.

Sophomore designated hitter/right fielder Lily Behrmann, a lefty, as is the president, also wrote.

Her note, tucked into a mirror, in part read, “Dear Mr. President, I hope you are able to read this. I just wanted to say thank you for everything and being able to come to our school! My mom absolutely adores you!”

Bohanan wanted more than an autograph.

“I didn’t want my note to be like everybody else’s. I figured if I’m going to write a note, I’m going to try to get something out of it,” Bohanan said.

So she wrote, “Mr. President, I’m a big fan! Can I have a little quote for motivation this season? Advice?

Anything will help! Thank you!”

The president responded “Dream big!” and signed his name.

“I figured if anyone has some good advice, it would be the president of the United States,” Bohanan said. “I wanted to make my note unique.”

Bohanan said it was “a shock,” to see that the president had responded.

She then proved she took his advice to heart when asked what big dream she had for this season.

“My biggest dream, of course, would be to win a national championship,” she said.

That’s big, all right, but is it realistic?

“Oh yeah,” Bohanan said.

“I’m confident we can. Our team works extremely hard, day in and day out and we have the talent to do it.

We just have to put all the pieces together.”

Bohanan’s life dream is every bit as American as striving to be No. 1.

“I just want to be as happy as I can be and be as successful I can be,” she said. “Of course, good health, hopefully a happy family and a good job, just be an average person who is happy in life.”

What a beautiful dream, so well stated.

MEMBERS OF THE KANSAS UNIVERSITY men’s basketball team head into Anschutz Pavilion on Thursday. The team met with President Barack Obama during his time on the KU campus. From left are Perry, Ellis, Evan Manning, Wayne Selden Jr., Josh Pollard, Tyler Self and Christian Garrett.

Barack Obama, the 44th president of the United States, spent some quality time with Kansas University’s basketball players and coaches on Thursday morning, prior to delivering a 30-minute speech before a crowd of 7,150 in Anschutz Pavilion.

“I think I timed it at about 14 minutes, 36 seconds,” KU coach Bill Self said with a smile, the implication he savored every moment the

Jayhawks bonded with basketball fan Obama in Hadl Auditorium.

The Jayhawks’ Wayne Selden Jr. and Tyler Self presented the president an official KU hoops jersey with No. 1 and Obama’s last name on it and also an autographed basketball.

“That’s the president’s jersey. I’m just wearing No. 1,” Selden said, asked jokingly if he was upset the president was given the number Selden has Please see HOOPS, page 3C

LAWRENCE HIGH’S JACKSON MALLORY (31) AND ANTHONY BONNER (15) rush to celebrate with Anthony Harvey after Harvey’s back-to-back three-point shots in the third quarter gave LHS the lead during the Topeka Invitational Tournament. The Lions defeated Wichita Southeast, 78-74, on Thursday at Highland Park High in Topeka.

Lions rally past Wichita SE, stay unbeaten

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Topeka — Rarely this season has Lawrence High’s boys basketball team, ranked No. 1 in Class 6A, played on its heels, or struggled to match an opponent’s assertive style. But that’s exactly what happened to the Lions against No. 5-ranked Wichita Southeast Thursday evening in the quarterfinals of the 54th annual Topeka Invitational Tournament.

Down 12 points late in the second quarter, and trailing

by eight early in the third, LHS leaned on some role players in a critical stretch to recover, stay unbeaten and defeat the Golden Buffaloes, 78-74, at Highland Park High — all that despite a 41-point night from WSE junior guard Jerrick Harding.

Yes, senior guard Anthony Bonner scored 12 of his teamhigh 24 points in the third for Lawrence, but he couldn’t have taken over without some help. Lawrence junior forward Fred Brou assisted a Bonner three-pointer that cut Southeast’s lead to five. Then

Brou, after collecting one of his seven rebounds, pitched an outlet pass ahead for Bonner to make it a three-point game.

Next, Brou made his lone basket of the game by cutting to the rim for a layup on a pass from fellow junior forward Price Morgan, who had just gathered an offensive rebound.

A little more than 30 seconds later, junior point guard Justin Roberts fed Anthony Harvey for a three-pointer that gave LHS its first lead since the opening minutes

of the second quarter. The Lions, bolstered by another Harvey three their next trip down the floor, never trailed again.

Harvey, a 5-foot-10 junior backup guard, nailed four of his six threes in the tournament opener and scored 15 points — 12 in the second half. He and Brou are good friends, and he said they talk all the time about doing the little things that matter in basketball.

Free State fights back

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Overland Park — Free State High’s boys basketball players have struggled to shoot the ball for most of the season. But when they needed a basket against St. James Academy on Thursday, all of those problems disappeared.

The Firebirds fought back from a six-point deficit in the fourth quarter for a 49-42 victory in the first round of the Saints Classic at St. Thomas Aquinas.

Trailing 37-32 in the first few minutes of the fourth quarter, FSHS junior Hunter Gudde chased down an offensive rebound in the cor-

ner, and passed to 6-foot-5 sophomore Sloan Thomsen on the near wing, who immediately pulled the trigger and drained a three-pointer.

On the next possession, senior Weston Hack made a three-pointer of his own at the top of the arc. Then, sophomore Jacob Pavlyak grabbed a steal and took it coast-to-coast for a layup and a 40-37 advantage.

The Firebirds (5-4) never trailed again with layups by Hack and junior Chrision Wilburn, and enough free throws down the stretch from Pavlyak, Hack and Gudde to secure the win.

Brady: I didn’t alter footballs Foxborough, Mass. (ap) — Tom Brady, the handsome pitchman of a quarterback who has won MVPs with his arm and hearts with his megawatt smile, was asked the question no athlete wants to face. As he stood in front of a packed news conference yesterday to address reports that the Patriots used deflated footballs to gain an illegal advantage in Sunday’s AFC title game, his very integrity and legacy were called into focus with just four words: Are you a cheater?

“I don’t believe so,” Brady said almost sheepishly as he professed innocence and ignorance during a 30-minute session with reporters that at times seemed to have him more rattled than he has ever looked on a football field.

“I didn’t alter the ball in any way,” he said but was unable to explain how all 12 of the team’s game balls from the first half were below the league-mandated minimum of 12.5 pounds per square inch of pressure when measured at halftime.

According to ESPN reports, 11 of the 12 measured 2 or more pounds lighter, and all 12 footballs were replaced for the second half.

The NFL is continuing its investigation, having spoken with members of the Patriots and Colts staffs. Investigators have not spoken with Brady, he said.

They are likely accumulating facts before interrogating the quarterback, who is appearing more and more like the chief suspect despite his denials.

LAKERS GUARD KOBE BRYANT WARMS UP BEFORE THE LAKERS’ GAME IN NEW ORLEANS WEDNESDAY. Bryant injured his shoulder in the game with what the team Thursday called a torn rotator cuff.

Lakers say Kobe Bryant has torn rotator cuff Los Angeles — Kobe Bryant tore his right rotator cuff in the Los Angeles Lakers’ latest defeat, the club announced Thursday.

Bryant injured his right shoulder in the second half of the Lakers’ loss at New Orleans on Wednesday night when he drove the baseline for a two-handed dunk.

An MRI exam Thursday in San Antonio revealed the tear, and Bryant headed home to Los Angeles while the Lakers prepared to play the Spurs on Friday.

The Lakers declined to speculate on the severity of the injury, but many rotator cuff injuries require surgery and several months of rehabilitation.

Bryant briefly returned to the game in New Orleans and played essentially with one arm after the injury, making a 14-foot jumper with his left hand. He is a right-handed shooter.

After the game, Bryant said it felt as if his shoulder “came out of joint a little bit” on the dunk.

“I felt fine when I went up, and didn’t feel too good when I came down,” he said.

Bryant is the third-leading scorer in NBA history, but he had played in just six games over the previous 18 months before this season began after recovering from two major leg injuries.

Bryant has sat out eight games in the past month strictly to rest. Coach Byron Scott is attempting to preserve his 36-year-old superstar through the length of his contract, which extends to next season.

Bryant is the NBA’s highest-paid player this season, making $23.5 million this year and $25 million next year.

Seattle seeks NBA, NHL teams Seattle — Mayor Ed Murray says he met with NBA Commissioner Adam Silver and NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman on a trip to New York this week to reiterate the city’s interest in bringing both leagues to Seattle.

Murray held the meetings Monday on his

LJWorld.com/highschool • Facebook.com/LJWorldpreps • Twitter.com/LJWpreps

way to the U.S. Conference of Mayors.

According to Murray, it was his first meeting with Silver. While Silver said Seattle remains an attractive city for an NBA franchise, the league does not have any plans to expand at this time.

Murray said the city remains “keen on bringing an NHL team here,” and that Bettman recognized Seattle’s value as a home for a future franchise.

Seattle’s hurdle for both leagues is a suitable arena. Environmental studies on a proposed arena are not expected to be ready until the middle of 2015.

NFL

Lynch fined $20K for gesture Seattle — Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch has been fined $20,000 for making an obscene gesture during the NFC Championship game Sunday.

The news was first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter and later confirmed by the Times. Lynch made the gesture after a 24-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter.

Schefter also reported that Lynch could face escalating fines for not cooperating with the media during Super Bowl week.

McCaffery wants ESPN apology Des Moines, Iowa — Iowa coach Fran McCaffery wants ESPN color commentator Dan Dakich to apologize to Hawkeyes center Adam Woodbury for calling him “gutless” and “cowardly” during the broadcast an 82-50 loss to Wisconsin.

Dakich called out Woodbury after the center appeared to poke the eyes of Wisconsin’s Nigel Hayes and Frank Kaminsky in separate incidents Tuesday.

McCaffery defended his player while blasting Dakich during the taping of his weekly radio show on Wednesday. ESPN did not immediately return a message seeking comment from Dakich.

LHS swimmers win home invitational

By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@ljworld.com

The Lawrence High boys swimming and diving team had a special rhythm going on the way to a convincing win in its home invitational Thursday.

The Lions were pitch perfect while singing the national anthem before the Lawrence Invitational, and nearly perfect in the water, winning eight

mind being in the shadows, being the role-player guys,” Harvey said.

“It gives you a motor, and you want to come out and show everybody what you got… It’s great, because your teammates know they can trust you.

We’re just a well-oiled team.”

Bonner, who also chipped in six rebounds, six assists and three steals for the tournament’s defending champions, said that third-quarter stretch turned the game in Lawrence’s favor.

“With Harvey, when he hits a shot everyone gets hyped,” Bonner said.

“He’s kind of like our little brother. And we want to see him come off the bench and do really good.

He’s been doing that all season.”

The Colorado State signee punctuated a 16-0

Firebirds CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

“Our sets worked every time that we ran them,” said Gudde, who scored nine points and added seven rebounds and five assists. “We just got it done.”

Free State struggled in the first quarter, with the Thunder (2-8) turning a few offensive rebounds into a pair of threes. But the Firebirds ended the first half on an 11-2 run to tie the game with another key three-pointer from Thomsen, a layup by senior point guard Andrew Keating, and a few baskets, including a buzzer beater, from Gudde.

“We have not been making open shots. Tonight

of 12 events and beating out second-place Shawnee Heights by 193 points for the team title.

LHS was led by a freshmen trio of Stephen Johnson, Isaac Springe and Alex Heckman, who combined to win four individual events and the 200 and 400 freestyle relays.

“It’s really cool,” Johnson said. “It’s like the year of the freshmen.”

Johnson cruised to

victories in the 200 and 500 freestyle, beating out Topeka’s Matthew Ricks in both events. The LHS freshman won the 200 by six-plus seconds and the 500 by more than 27 seconds.

Heckman and Springe chipped in by respectively winning the 100 freestyle and 200 IM. “Our three freshman are really the top swimmers on the team,” LHS

coach Kent McDonald said. “We’ve got other swimmers that are good, but those guys are pushing everyone and raise the level up for everyone else on the team.”

While the freshmen dominated the meet, senior Ellis Springe, brother of Isaac, also had his time to shine. The elder Springe was one of three Lions to be honored on Senior Night, and he cel-

ebrated with a victory in the 50 freestyle.

“I had been sick for a little while and kind of caught the flu, so I was really aiming to just get through the race without collapsing,” the LHS senior captain said. “I was seeded second to him (Olathe North’s Justin Bright) by about threetenths of a second, so I knew I needed to drop and having a home-field

advantage, I felt I could do that. Even though I didn’t drop, I still won it, so it’s good to see.”

The Lions were successful on the diving board as well with junior Izaiah Bowie winning the 1-meter dive with 259.60 points.

Lawrence High will try to carry over its momentum into the Topeka Invitational Tuesday at the Topeka-Capital Federal Natatorium.

LHS run in the third with a steal, layup and free throw that put WSE (46) in an eight-point hole.

After that, it was another substitute, senior forward Logan Applegate, tipping in an offensive rebound.

Lawrence coach Mike Lewis praised the numerous efforts of his role players.

“We were almost craving that stretch,” Lewis said. “That first half we just needed something to go our way and give us a little bit more momentum. We were just a little stagnant in the first half, and that third quarter that particular series all of a sudden lit our fire, and we were kind of back to who we were.”

The Buffaloes’ Harding nearly carried his team to an upset victory with 26 first-half points, 19 of which came in the second quarter. Lewis wasn’t too pleased about that 41 the guard posted on 12-for-16 shooting. But the Lions only allowed him to score

three points in the third, as Roberts (20 points) face-guarded him and harassed him, and LHS made its game-saving push.

It was a difficult way for LHS to open the Topeka Invitational, but Bonner wasn’t complaining.

“Those games with adversity, where we win, that just makes us better,” he said.

The Lions (11-0) face Kansas City Washington at 8:30 p.m. today in the tournament semifinals.

Hoops

Chicago. He wanted to know right off the bat, ‘What high school did you go to?’ and that kind of stuff. He made those kids feel special. I’d think anybody in his business is used to crowds. He certainly made our guys feel good today.”

Obama shook hands with each player as they identified themselves.

“He talked about our last game, the Oklahoma game. He talked about the games we have coming up,” Selden said. “He talked about his game a little bit, saying he’s slowing down. He said if we wanted any tips just ask him. Nobody asked him.

“He has the nation to take care of and he’s watching our games ... that’s really big,” Selden exclaimed.

Obama has long been a huge sports fan. His brother-in-law is former Oregon State hoops coach Craig Robinson.

“Jerrance (Howard, KU assistant) asked him, ‘Tell us about your game.’ He went into a little talk about his game,” Self said. “He said, ‘I’m not fast or anything, but I’m faster than most 53-year-olds.’ He follows college basketball.

He knew we were coming off a big win. He wanted to know who we had next.

He told us we better be ready when we go down to Texas (on Saturday).

“He made a point to tell our team we’d disappointed him twice during his (NCAA Tournament) picks when he picked us twice to win the national championship and we came up short,” Self added of Obama needling the Jayhawks a bit. “He said he didn’t think he’d go in that direction this year but he thought we’d be a pretty high seed.”

Noting Obama was “real cool, real humble,” frosh Devonté Graham added: “He joked around about the brackets and we kind of disappointed him two years ago. He definitely knew about Jayhawk basketball.”

During his speech, Obama said: “I’ve got to admit, I took a moment to meet with coach Self and the KU basketball team.

I mean, we’re here for other business but while I was here I thought I

should talk to some basketball players. And it is January so that means the Jayhawks are at the top of the Big 12 hunting for 11 straight conference titles.”

Obama also joked, “Coach Self won 10 straight. I lost two straight here (vote in presidential elections in Kansas). I might have won sections in Lawrence. That’s a possibility.”

The Jayhawks were impressed with the personality shown by the country’s commander in chief.

“He was extremely cordial and talkative. He certainly enjoyed meeting the players,” Self said.

“I know all our guys were very honored and felt privileged to be part of that today. Regardless of your political affiliations and what you think and believe and whatnot, it’s pretty cool to have the most powerful man in the world right there in Hadl Auditorium visiting with your kids.” l KU’s politicians: Selden was quick with a oneliner when asked which teammate would be best suited for politics.

“Not Jamari,” he said, grinning, referring to Traylor. “Maybe Evan (Manning). He is really opinionated, sticks with his opinion. He feels his opinion is the best opinion.

I feel that’s how politics is.

I don’t know anything.”

Graham’s answer to the question was, “Josh Pollard. That’s the man.

That’s the guy. He’s really smart. He knows about politics. I’d say Josh.” l Bumps, bruises: KU will meet Texas at 1 p.m., Saturday in Austin. Self said Traylor (hip flexor) was able to practice this week and should not be limited. “He’s fine. Everybody’s fine,” Self said. l The itinerary: The Jayhawks congregated in Self’s office at 9:50 a.m., Perry Ellis stated. “We hung out there awhile and went down there (to Hadl) right before he went to speak. We got to meet him real quick, then he went to speak (about 11:30 a.m. in Anschutz).” ... The players watched Obama’s speech live in Anschutz.

we got some open shots and hit them,” FSHS coach Chuck Law said. “You can just see how the whole tenor of the game changes because when we’re not making shots, you can see everybody starts pressing.”

Part of the problem for the Firebirds in the first half was playing without their leading scorer Hack, who ran into foul trouble.

But that led to big contributions from players off of the bench. Thomsen scored six points with two clutch threes, Pavlyak had six points and two assists, and Wilburn added six points and three rebounds. They also played a big role in the Firebirds’ zone defense, which held the Thunder to 31 percent shooting in the second half (5-for-16).

at Cowley Community College on Tuesday.

Shield, a pitcher and designated hitter, earned first-team All-Sunflower League honors as a utility player last year, and was a second-team All-State selection.

She had a .484 batting average and 21 RBIs to go along with a 7-3 record in the circle and a 3.24 earned-run average.

Lion wrestlers fall to O-South Olathe — Lawrence High’s wrestling team lost to Olathe South in a dual on Thursday, 39-30.

The Lions had freshman Carson Jumping Eagle, freshman Ja’Relle Dye, sophomore Santino Gee, sophomore Tucker Wilson and sophomore Kevin Nichols win by pin.

worn at KU the past two seasons.

The KU players listened intently to Obama talk about watching Jayhawk games on TV, about his own game (jokingly asking the players if they wanted any pointers) and about some other life lessons.

“He was really humble.

He was really welcoming.

That was the big thing.

He made it seem like he was meeting us. We felt like we were meeting him,” Selden said.

Self said Obama “shook everybody’s hand. He wanted to know everybody’s name, took a couple pictures, group pictures. He shared a few words of wisdom.

“He said, ‘You need to worry about your academics, too. You didn’t come here just to play ball,’’’ Self explained. “I said, ‘Hey Mr. President, overall team GPA 2.93.’

You know what he said?

‘You’ve got to get it up to 3.0, which basically tells you, ‘Don’t ever be totally satisfied,’ which I thought was pretty cool for our guys to hear,” Self added.

Self said the Jayhawk players were awed by the experience.

“I think I’ve got a pretty good relationship with our guys, most of them, and a pretty open line of communication. Very rarely do they just text me out of the blue and say, ‘Hey coach, how are you doing today?’ After this today, half the team texted me immediately saying, ‘Coach, man that was awesome. Thanks for allowing us to be part of that.’ It’s a big deal for everybody.

“Look at Svi (Mykhailiuk, KU freshman from Ukraine). Who knows how Svi has viewed the president of the United States coming from Ukraine or what Russia thinks of us? He filmed the whole thing. He was really into it. Think of kids, especially African-American kids that maybe come from tough environments, Cliff (Alexander) and Jamari (Traylor) coming from

Dear Annie: I am a 19-year-old full-time college student and I work part time at a fast food place. I started my job two years ago, and for the most part I enjoy it and have made several friends.

Eight months ago, “Ally” joined our team.

I happened to have attended elementary school with Ally. We always butted heads back then, but my first impression of her at work was a good one, and I was happy to think she had matured.

Or so I thought. As time went on, her true colors reappeared.

Despite my initial kindness to her, she has singled me out and treated me horribly.

The problem is that everyone else seems to love her. Even worse, she was promoted last month, which was sur-

prising considering she’s so new. Now it would be difficult for me to complain about her to my supervisor.

She’s my supervisor.

I’m tired of letting Ally push me around, and it’s lonely to know that I’m the only one she does this to. I am frustrated with myself for letting this girl get under my skin. What can I do? — Fed Up in Jacksonville, Fla. Dear Fed Up: You could complain to a su-

‘Jay’ reveals tradition in pack of cards Ankle-deep in the 21st century, you might believe that a world of secret knowledge has been lost, that magic has passed from the scene. And you’d be wrong. “Ricky Jay: Deceptive Practice” on “American Masters” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings) recalls the life and career of one of the great sleightof-hand artists, just as he celebrates past magic masters and their secret and arcane traditions that he carries forward.

As a young boy, Jay bonded with his grandfather, Max Katz, an amateur magician who introduced him to legendary magicians of the early and mid-20th century, men with names like Cardini, Slydini and Al Flosso, the Coney Island Fakir.

Archival clips show Jay performing magic at the age of 4. After his grandfather died and Jay was barely into his teens, he left his family, making a living at rock ‘n roll concerts, venues that had replaced vaudeville as the stage for talents with a singular act.

He emerges from the counterculture scene a popular figure known for card tricks and illusions. A great clip catches him playing three-card monte with a young Steve Martin on Dinah Shore’s talk show.

Throughout “Deceptive Practice” we learn how Jay has steeped himself in the history and lore of his craft, learning at the feet, or, rather, the hands, of such venerable masters as Dai Vernon and Charlie Miller and spending years researching the history of magic shows. He incorporated this knowledge into his act and his best-selling books “Learned Pigs and Fireproof Women” and “Jay’s Journal of Anomalies.”

In a clip seen early in this production, Jay admits to living fully in a reality very much prior to the 20th century. Writer, director and producer David Mamet, who staged the magician’s sold-out Broadway shows and cast him in several films, including “House of Games,” recalls asking Jay for a secret behind one of his tricks and then realizing that his illusions could not be explained to anyone who had not spent years — make that a lifetime — in preparation.

Tonight’s other highlights:

Terry Crews hosts “World’s Funniest Fails” (7 p.m., Fox).

Nick assembles his team on “Grimm” (8 p.m., NBC.

Rachel tries to convince Will to have his club throw a match on “Glee” (8 p.m., Fox).

Baez sustains injuries while escorting contraband on “Blue Bloods” (9 p.m., CBS).

BIRTHDAYS Actor-director Lou Antonio is 81. Actor Rutger Hauer is 71. Singer Anita Pointer is 67.

Rhythm-and-blues singer Marc Nelson is 44.

pervisor above Ally, but no one else is apparently witnessing her unkindness toward you, so that might not help. Here’s a different tactic: Ally may still think of you the way she did in grade school.

Why not take her aside and ask, politely and nicely, what’s going on?

Let her know you were happy to see her when she first showed up and hoped you could start fresh. Even if she denies her poor behavior, she will be more aware of it.

Dear Annie: My wife began rationing sex almost from the day we married. I tried everything to improve the situation, but nothing worked. She thought once or twice a year was more than enough, and after 15 years, she stopped entirely.

I wanted to be true to our marriage vows, but frustration finally pre-

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Friday, Jan. 23: This year you’ll find that your finances are a key factor in making plans, especially as you consider a major life change. Sometimes you prevent yourself from realizing how you really feel about a situation. Be aware of this tendency, as it could cause a problem. If you are single, 2015 will be a year to remember. Expect to encounter an abundance of suitors. If you are attached, the two of you have a tendency to go overboard, but you always manage to have a ball.

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) You could be facing a decision that will force you to go within. Tonight: Try not to be so visible.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Information you are receiving could be subject to dramatic change, even if you don’t see it yet. Tonight: TGIF! Gemini (May 21-June 20) Try not to hold a grudge. The only way to win a power struggle here is not to play.

Tonight: Leader of the gang.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Reach out for more information if you are not satisfied with what you are hearing.

Tonight: Follow the music.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You’ll want to cut back and relax more, yet you might

vailed and I discovered a world full of women who were ready and willing for sex with no strings attached. It was not as satisfying as that within marriage, but I was a 35-year-old male with a strong sex drive.

Women who think they can solve their marital problems by sleeping with their legs crossed have a rude awakening, trust me. If a man is not getting it at home, he will get it elsewhere. — Formally Frustrated in Arkansas Dear Arkansas: We agree that wives who eliminate sex risk the marriage. But blaming your wife for your philandering is an excuse to cheat. Get into counseling or get a divorce.

resist letting go of responsibilities.

Tonight: Munchies with a friend.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You seem to be unusually resourceful when dealing with someone who can be very controlling. Tonight: Accept a special invitation.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could be at your wits’ end when dealing with a difficult, controlling person. Tonight: Accept a colleague’s invitation.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might have to handle a task, but your mind will be on a loved one. Tonight: As you like it.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Perhaps you don’t realize how much you enjoy staying close to home. Tonight: Kick back.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Express what you feel, and remember to be diplomatic.

You will get better results. Tonight: Head out with friends.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You could have the best intentions, but you might unknowingly trigger others. Tonight: Treat a friend.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You might feel as if you’re on top of the world, yet a problem could be brewing.

Tonight: You are noticed wherever you are.
