New wave of oil drilling disrupts rural residences

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Victoria Guerrero says she and her husband, Fernando, were stunned last February when they returned to Douglas County after Fernando’s two-year military deployment to Germany.

The 10-acre plot of land southeast of Baldwin City they’d bought just before leaving and where they’d planned to build their dream home was now dotted with oil wells.

ZAC TOWNS WORKS AS AN EMERGENCY DISPATCHER for the 911 call center at the Judicial and Law enforcement center on 11th Street. On a normal day, Towns is among four dispatchers and one supervisor working a 12-hour shift at the center, dealing with every imaginable type of call.

Towns says he had noticed that. More accurately, he had heard that. Everyone in this makeshift conference room had. It makes sense. There’s not a better set of ears in Douglas County. This is one of four squads that serve as dispatchers in the 911 emergency call center

that serves Lawrence and the entire county.

Established in Tradition

L awrence J ournal -W orld

I’m guessing you have surmised that there’s not actually a guy standing on a file cabinet with a machete in the cubicle beside me. No, in that cubicle there is a dispatcher on the phone dealing with an incident that involves a man and a machete. Excuse me for getting a little excited as it all played out in front of me.

I felt like somebody ought to.

Dispatchers don’t seem to be an overly excitable bunch. Maybe sitting in front of five computer screens all day has a calming effect. (Their current desks have five screens, but a new center that will open this spring at the Judicial and Law Enforcement Center, will feature seven screens per desk.)

“This job is not so much about having a college education or something like that,” said Scott Ruf, the director who oversees the crew of 28 dispatchers. “It is about an ability to make quick decisions and good decisions.”

Here’s how the system works on a normal day: There are four dispatchers and one supervisor.

They work for 12 hours each day. One week it is for 48 hours. The next week it is for 36. For four months, they get the day shift. The next four months, they get the night shift.

When the shift begins, one person is designated as the primary call taker.

Another is designated as the dispatcher for fire and medical calls, another as the dispatcher for law enforcement, and the fourth serves as the info dispatcher, which involves everything from looking up case numbers for an officer in the field to calling for a tow truck to remove an illegally parked car.

So, the phone rings.

If the primary call taker isn’t already on the phone, she answers it. The first piece of information requested is always “where are you calling from?” If you are calling from a land line, chances are dispatchers already know your location, but that is not true

For emergency calls, you can call 911 anytime.

But for calls that clearly aren’t an emergency, dispatchers ask that you call the nonemergency line at 843-0250, which also is staffed 24 hours a day.

The more information, the better Dispatchers also ask owners of wireless phones to consider completing a profile at Smart911.com.

Users can provide as little or as much information as they choose. County officials urge people to provide at least their name and home address because dispatchers often don’t have that basic information when wireless phone users make a call to the 911 center.

ljworld.com 645 New Hampshire St. (News Center) Lawrence, KS 66044 (785) 843-1000 • (800) 578-8748

EDITORS Julie Wright, managing editor 832-6361, jwright@ljworld.com Tom Keegan, sports editor 832-7147, tkeegan@ljworld.com Ann Gardner, editorial page editor 832-7153, agardner@ljworld.com

OTHER CONTACTS with the wireless calls that now make up about 80 percent of the 300,000 calls the center receives each year.

Then, the dispatcher wants to know the nature of the emergency. All the while, she is typing the details into the computer. As soon as she determines it is a medical call, for instance, the details begin showing up on the screen of the fire and medical dispatcher. That dispatcher can then send out the proper alert to the correct fire and medical station. On average, it takes 45 to 60 seconds from the time the phone rings to the time fire and medical personnel are alerted to the emergency.

For law enforcement incidents, the average is 60 to 90 seconds.

While the fire and medical dispatcher is relaying information to the appropriate fire station, the primary call taker is still on the line gathering more information. Sometimes people get frustrated by all the questions because they think they are delaying the dispatcher from sending out the call for help. That’s not the case.

A separate dispatcher already has sent out the alarm.

But what happens when the primary call taker is already on the phone when another 911 line begins to ring? Well, the dispatcher who is designated as the secondary call taker answers the phone. On this day, that’s the fire and medical dispatcher.

He’s busy, though, dispatching the medical call that the primary call taker is still working. Well, guess what? This job gets busy from time to time.

Dispatchers are trained to be talking on the phone with 911 callers about one incident while also communicating with fire and medical or police about a separate incident. A series of buttons allows them to control who they are talking to at any moment, but there is no button to control who is talking to them at any moment. It can and does happen that parties

from both incidents — or sometimes three separate incidents — are talking to the dispatcher all at once.

“Sometimes callers will be talking and there is a lag before I answer them,” Towns says.

“They think I’m gone, but I’m just talking to someone else for a moment.

I’m always here, and I’m always listening.” lll

I know, I know. You want to know what happened to the guy with the machete. Well, it was a man who wanted to hurt himself. There was no need for an ambulance while I was there. But really, I don’t know what happened. That’s the life of a dispatcher. There’s not much closure.

But dispatchers do know other things. For example, they know some people get really worried about cats in trees. Yes, people really do call about a cat being stuck in the tree.

“You just have to remind them that the cat really will come down,” says Darren Johnson, a seven-year veteran of the dispatch center.

But mostly they know that life can get crazy — often times at the same time the cat has gotten stuck in the tree.

“We get all those dumb calls about the cats in the trees or why no one is answering the phone at the electric company,” Ruf says. “But when you go from those calls to a mom calling with a 4-year old in the bathtub and he’s not breathing, that is when this job can take a toll on you.”

Every dispatcher pays that toll at some point, and they probably never will get much recognition for it.

After all, listening doesn’t make for great television. But it sure does make a great difference.

Seed fair helps gardeners, growers get local plants and flowers back into the earth “

We want to teach people of the importance of saving seed and encourage Valley them to use only locally adapted seeds.”

By Ashleigh Tidwell

atidwell@ljworld.com

The Kaw Seeds Project hosted its fifth annual Seed Fair Saturday at the Douglas County Fairgrounds.

The Kaw Valley Seed Fair was started as a part of the Seeds Project in 2010 and has since grown into an organization of its own.

The Seed Fair was designed to educate and encourage people to use nonhybrid and non-GMO (genetically modified organism) seeds.

Daniel Bentley, coordinator of the Kaw Valley Seeds Project, emphasized the importance of using local organic seeds that will grow well in the area to help promote sustainability.

“We want to teach people of the importance of saving seed and encourage them to use only locally adapted seeds,” Bentley said.

As part of the fair,

— Daniel Bentley, coordinator of the Kaw Valley Seeds Project attendees were encouraged to bring local seeds to share and trade with other gardeners and farmers.

Many vendors also sold organic homemade foods and products, as well as educational materials.

More than 30 local organizations attended the fair in the hopes of educating the community on conservation, sustainability and the importance of native plants.

Among the vendors at the fair were the Red Tractor Farm, Lawrence Food Garden Tours, Jayhawk Audubon Society, Kansas Area Watershed Council, Just Food and many other local farms and organizations.

Ron and Joyce Wolf, members of the Jay-

hawk Audubon Society, are avid bird watchers who stress the importance of native plants not only for the environment but for the birds as well.

“It’s especially important for bird watchers to plant native plants,” Joyce said. “You’re not going to get many birds if you have alien plants.”

Kirsten Bosmak, member of the Seed Fair organizing committee, said she hopes it will draw attention to the seed reserve started by the Kaw Valley Seed Project.

“We are trying to build a seed reserve for seeds that will do well in the area,” Bosmak said. “The main Richard Gwin/Journal-World Photo idea with the fair is to emphasize education SUSAN RADER, OF LEAVENWORTH, SPORTS A VEST WITH SEEDS PINNED and information shar- TO it for easy viewing as she attends the Fifth Annual Kaw Valley ing.”

The Lawrence school board will get a preliminary look at plans for the new College and Career Center during a work session before Monday night’s regular board meeting.

The planned $5.7 million facility is being funded with a portion

of the $92.5 million bond issue that voters approved last spring. It will house career and technical education programs for high school students, including courses offered through regional community colleges and technical schools.

Current plans call for offering courses in health sciences, machine technology, computer networking and commercial construction.

Original plans called for a 30,000-square-foot facility on property the district owns near Holcom Park, but the location was later moved to property near the Hiper Technology plant at 31st and Haskell streets where the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce also plans to build an adult job-training center.

The Annual Healthy Heart Fair blood profile includes the following tests: total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, VLDL, triglycerides, and cholesterol ratios. I understand that no additional individualized test can be included in the Health Fair profile blood tests.

Results are reviewed by a pathologist. The results and a cover letter are mailed to the participant as soon as reasonably possible but in most cases will take about three weeks after the Fair to be mailed from the hospital. I understand that if my identifying information as noted above, including name, address, gender, and birth date, are not fully complete nor legible, the blood profile results may not be able to be correctly processed nor mailed to me. I also understand that results will not be released or mailed to anyone other than myself (including personal physicians). I give my consent to Lawrence Memorial Hospital to draw blood from me for the Annual Healthy Heart Fair blood profile. I agree that LMH and its staff will not be held responsible for any injuries including bruising, incurred during the blood drawing process. I understand the responsibility for initializing any follow-up examinations for any abnormalities identified by these test, lies with me as the person responsible for my own health and not with Lawrence Memorial Hospital. I also understand that on occasion, my blood may hemolyze (red blood cells can be destroyed) during the blood drawing or analysis processes, and therefore can alter results, and if so, I may be contacted to come back into LMH Laboratory to have my blood redrawn.

I have read, understand and agree to the information and restrictions noted above.

THE DOUGLAS COUNTY SPELLING BEE WAS HELD SATURDAY AT SOUTHWEST MIDDLE School. Twenty-four children from third to eighth grade competed in the spelling bee. Ethan Perrins, 13, a Southwest Middle School student, was the winner.

Spelling CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

bee with a shot at qualifying for the annual Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C. Ethan emerged from a field of 24 students from third through eighth grades who advanced to Saturday’s competition after winning their schools’ respective bees.

This year’s event breezed by as the first elimination round whittled the field down to eight and the next produced a final four: Ethan, Morgan, Chloe Safree, a Quail Run fifth-grader, and Erin Fagan, a West Middle School sixth-grader.

After the competition, both Ethan and Morgan called themselves lucky.

Because after months of committing hours to websites like spellingcity. com or practicing at the table over breakfast, even the champions needed a little luck.

“I’m really surprised how lucky I got with the easiness of words like ‘provolone,’” Ethan said, tipping his cap to Erin, who was tasked with “amicable.”

Once Ethan tackled “provolone” and “opossum,” and Morgan handled “inane” and “finesse” to clinch the top

two spots, Ethan leaned across his seat to offer a fist-bump.

“I was nervous,” Morgan said. “I thought I would get out. Now I’m nervous to be in the next one. There will be vocabulary too. I’m scared about that but I’m excited too.”

The county bee was sponsored by the Lawrence Journal-World. The winner of next month’s regional bee will advance to the Scripps National Spelling Bee, a path taken in 2012 by Emma Steimle, then an eighth-grader at West Middle School.

After Saturday’s bee, Ethan stood near the end of the stage inside the auditorium as his father, Erik Perrins, snapped a few photos. This would be Ethan’s final Douglas County Spelling Bee after having competed in it six times. As if he needed the reminder, his father told him as much but with one caveat.

“Just have fun,” he said.

“We’re always glad when you get the first word correct. After that: just have fun.”

He would do more than that: His victory culminated with him correctly spelling “insidious.” Though defined as causing harm in a way that is gradual or not easily noticed, Ethan handled the winning word with relative ease.

Bill that would abolish no-fault divorce draws controversy Wichita (ap) — Kansas residents seeking divorces would have to prove their spouse’s culpability for the crumbling marriage under legislation that would abolish nofault divorce in the state.

Rep. Keith Esau, an Olathe Republican, introduced the measure removing “incompatibility’” as a valid reason for divorce. He said he offered it on behalf of a fellow lawmaker but supports its content.

“No-fault divorce gives people an easy out instead of working at it,” Esau told The Wichita Eagle on Friday. “It would be my hope that they Esau c o u l d work out their incompatibilities and learn to work together on things.”

Esau, who serves on the Judiciary Committee, did not write the measure but said it’s designed to clean up Kansas law by requiring specific reasons for divorce. He said he received constant phone calls from Kansas residents after introducing the bill Thursday.

“I’m really surprised that’s getting as much controversy — or I should say as much notice — as (it is),” he said.

It also drew immediate

opposition from another Judiciary Committee member, Democrat Jim Ward of Wichita, who has handled divorce cases in his legal practice.

“We really should let people decide when to end relationships,” he said.

The bill would require Kansans seeking a divorce to prove their spouses’ fault, a requirement that was common throughout the United States 60 years ago.

“That’s really not a healthy way to deal with families that are changing,” Ward said.

He said that making divorces less contentious helps couples with children maintain respectful relationships because they will need to continue to parent together.

Esau disputed the suggestion that bill was an example of government overreach. He said the state gives benefits to married couples, such

as tax breaks, so couples should not enter into the institution of marriage lightly.

Moreover, he said, the state has a vested interest in supporting “strong families,” and divorce undermines that.

“I think we’ve made divorce way too easy in this country,” he said. “If we really want to respect marriage it needs to be a commitment that people work at and don’t find arbitrary reasons to give up.”

Experts predict end of smoking

By Mike Stobbe Associated Press

Atlanta — Health officials have begun to predict the end of cigarette smoking in America.

They have long wished for a cigarette-free America but shied away from calling for smoking rates to fall to zero or near zero by any particular year. The power of tobacco companies and popularity of their products made such a goal seem like a pipe dream.

But a confluence of changes has recently prompted public health leaders to start throwing around phrases like “endgame� and “tobacco-free generation.� Now, they talk about the slowly-declining adult smoking rate dropping to 10 percent in the next decade and to 5 percent or lower by 2050.

Acting U.S. Surgeon General Boris Lushniak last month released a 980page report on smoking

country, making smokes more expensive. Though prices vary from state to state, on average a pack of cigarettes that would have sold for about $1.75 20 years ago would cost more than triple that now. l Laws banning smoking in restaurants, bars and workplaces have popped up all over the country. Airline flights have long been off-limits for smoking. l Federal officials are increasingly aggressive about anti-smoking advertising. The Food and Drug Administration launched a new youth tobacco prevention campaign last week.

At about the same time, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention debuted a third, $60-million round of its successful anti-tobacco ad campaign — this one feaAmong the changes: turing poignant, deathbed l Cigarette taxes have images of a woman feaincreased around the tured in earlier ads. that pushed for stepped-up tobacco-control measures. “I can’t accept that we’re just allowing these numbers to trickle down,� he said, in a recent interview with the AP. “We believe we have the public health tools to get us to the zero level.�

This is not the first time a federal health official has spoken so boldly. In 1984, Surgeon General C. Everett Koop called for a “smoke-free society� by the year 2000. However, Koop — a bold talker on many issues — didn’t offer specifics on how to achieve such a goal. “What’s different today is that we have policies and programs that have been proven to drive down tobacco use,� said Matthew Myers, president of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids. “We couldn’t say that in 1984.�

DOLE INSTITUTE Muslims’ future in SPRING PROGRAMS

C. African Republic dire amid violence

By Krista Larson Associated Press

Dakar, Senegal — The mob violence wracking Central African Republic imperils the future of the country’s Muslims, with tens of thousands fleeing the daily violence and untold numbers killed.

Bangui, the capital, is engulfed in bloodshed and looting despite the presence of thousands of French and African peacekeepers. “We are in a moment where immediate action is needed to stop the killings,� Peter Bouckaert of Human Rights Watch told The Associated Press, calling for a fullfledged U.N. peacekeeping mission. “Otherwise the future of the Muslim community of this country will be gone.�

Muslims make up about 15 percent of Central African Republic’s 4.6 million people. More than 800,000 people have fled their homes — about half of those from the capital, according to the United Nations.

Thousands of Mus-

lims left Bangui in a massive convoy Friday that was jeered by crowds of Christians. One Muslim who fell off a truck was quickly killed by the mob. Muslim women who could not get on the trucks tried to hand their children to strangers aboard the vehicles.

Whole neighborhoods are abandoned, and Muslims who cannot leave are hiding inside mosques that have not already been set ablaze or destroyed by angry crowds.

The violence against the Muslims is in reaction to abuses perpetrated by the Muslim Seleka rebels during their 10-month rule that began last March. Seleke fighters tied their victims together and threw them off bridges to drown or be eaten by crocodiles, according to witnesses.

Now that Seleka’s leader Michel Djotodia stepped down from the presidency last month and a precarious civilian interim government is in charge, it is the country’s Muslim minority that is now under assault.

Princess testifies in Homeless slayings historic fraud case remain unsolved Palma de Mallorca, Spain — In a historic judicial hearing that could further impact the deteriorated image of Spain’s monarchy, Princess Cristina testified Saturday in a fraud and money laundering case in which she and her husband could eventually be charged.

Judge Jose Castro will rule on whether Cristina, the first Spanish royal to be questioned in court since the monarchy was restored in 1975, illegally used funds from a company she owned with her husband for personal expenses, including lavish parties at their Barcelona mansion.

Hundreds of protesters blew whistles, revved motorcycle engines, honked car horns and chanted “Out with the Spanish crown!� near the back entrance of the island courthouse where Cristina was dropped off in a modest hatchback.

The closed-door session, which lasted nearly seven hours, was a key step in determining whether she will be charged, but a final decision could take months.

Cease-fire in Syrian city falters; aid halted Beirut — Two trucks carrying food and medical supplies into rebel-held neighborhoods in the central Syrian city of Homs turned back under heavy fire Saturday, leaving four paramedics wounded as a cease-fire faltered, Syrian officials said.

Talal Barrazi, the governor of Homs province, told the Lebanon-based Al-Mayadeen TV that the attack occurred late in the afternoon and that the trucks were targeted by two roadside bombs and a mortar shell from the rebel side.

Barrazi said about 100 civilians expected to be evacuated from rebel-held areas had yet to arrive. On Friday, 83 children, women and elderly people on wheelchairs were evacuated from Homs, the first people to leave the area in months, the U.N. said.

Syrian forces loyal to President Bashar Assad have prevented the entry of food and medical aid into rebelheld parts of the city for over a year, badly affecting hundreds of civilians holed up in the areas. An agreement had called for a three-day truce to allow the evacuation of some civilians and the entry of food shipments.

Paramaribo, Suriname — At least two of the men died by gunfire. One was beaten to death with a brick. Another was doused with gasoline and set alight. Four were decapitated, two of the bodies seemingly drained of blood.

None of them had a home.

Several remain unidentified. And the killer or killers have not been caught.

The unsolved murders of a dozen homeless people over the past eight years haunt the nighttime streets of Suriname’s capital, and baffle the nation’s police force. No one is sure if the slayings are random, or if there’s a ritualistic Ripper of Paramaribo preying on the city’s homeless, leaving them with a lingering taste of fear.

Concern among the general public faded as the pace of killings slowed. But the deaths have not stopped.

The decapitated body of a homeless man was discovered in late September beneath an old concrete bridge over a trash-strewn canal in an industrial neighborhood on the capital’s outskirts.

Police spokesman Humphrey Naarden puts the body count of brutalized homeless people at 12, but said investigators could not provide a full tally of the slain.

9 killed in massacre in remote Guatemala Guatemala City — A military spokesman says that nine members of a family, including a baby and a young girl, were shot to death in a remote part of northern Guatemala.

Army spokesman Ismael Cifuentes says that a military helicopter and at least 90 soldiers are heading to the jungle region, which is difficult to reach.

According to Cifuentes, neighbors said the killings took place when two SUVs carrying armed men arrived at the family’s house. The gunmen who opened fire on the family. He said Saturday that eight people died at the site and a ninth succumbed after being taken to a hospital. Among the dead were a five-year-old girl and a threemonth-old.

Authorities did not provide a motive, but Guatemalan government maps show Mexico’s Zetas drug cartel operating in the region.

Stifling speech Hindering input from local governments on any issue facing the Kansas Legislature is a disservice to the state.

L

istening to the people of Kansas should be Job 1 for all members of the Kansas Legislature. That means listening both to the people who agree with them and those who don’t — not trying to figure out how to silence those who hold a different opinion.

This issue arose recently during a Kansas House hearing on a bill that would prohibit cities and counties from setting their own restrictions on the open carry of firearms and knives and ban them from using tax dollars to administer gun buyback programs. Logically, one would think that city and county government representatives might have some pertinent perspectives to offer to this debate.

However, when Mike Taylor, a lobbyist for the Unified Government of Kansas City and Wyandotte County, showed up to testify against the bill, he was confronted by Rep. Brett Hildabrand, R-Shawnee, who said Taylor, simply by speaking on behalf of Wyandotte County, may be violating a new state law. That law, which took effect last summer, prohibits the use of state dollars for lobbying or other forms of advocacy on gun-control issues. Although Taylor said he was being paid by local tax dollars, Hildabrand said he was considering asking Attorney General Derek Schmidt for a legal opinion on whether Taylor had violated the law.

If he did, there’s something wrong with the law.

It’s never been clear how the law would be enforced because it includes no penalties for violations. Nonetheless, as illustrated by Hildabrand’s complaint, the measure can be used to try to stifle debate and, specifically, any input from local governments or other state entities, including state universities, on gun control legislation.

The law sets a troubling precedent.

The measure passed last year relates only to gun control, but what if legislators seek to apply similar restrictions on other controversial issues? Do state legislators believe their knowledge of local government and what’s best for the state is so complete that they have no need to hear from anyone who may disagree with their opinion?

It’s said that, in the nation’s current politically polarized atmosphere, most people choose to get their news and information only from sources that they know will reinforce their own political viewpoints. That may be an acceptable choice for the average citizen, but it’s not an acceptable choice for the state’s elected representatives. Like it or not, legislators have a duty to listen not only to those who agree with them, but also those who don’t.

Hildabrand said his understanding of the new Kansas law is that “taxpayer money can’t be used to lobby against the 2nd Amendment because that is a constitutional law.” While they’re talking about the U.S. Constitution, maybe legislators also should consider the 1st Amendment and its guarantee of free speech.

Sochi is symbol of Putin arrogance In 1995, I flew into the Caucasus on a Russian transport plane taking medical personnel back to the front in the province of Chechnya. This was the first of Moscow’s two recent wars against Chechens seeking independence, and it was going badly. The doctors and nurses on board had already seen hundreds of soldiers die and were slugging vodka from bottles to prep themselves for more carnage.

When we stepped off the plane, into ankle-deep mud, one surgeon collapsed into my arms, sobbing, “What will I tell my children?”

This scene is what I think of when people ask why Vladimir Putin wanted the Olympics in Sochi, which sits on the edge of a Cau-

Sochi was also meant to show that Putin was frightened of nothing and was the strongman who had put the Chechen problem to rest.” casus war zone where militants are now fighting for an Islamic state.

Sochi was meant to showcase Putin triumphant, to demonstrate to the world and his own people that he had restored wealth and pride to Russia. Sochi was also meant to show that Putin was frightened of nothing and was the strongman who had put the Chechen problem to rest.

In Putin’s mind, the 1995 Chechen war, fought under President Boris Yeltsin after the Soviet Union collapsed, symbolized the country’s humiliation. When he came to power, Putin launched a second war that brutally crushed Chechen separatists, with total indifference to human-rights violations.

Back in 2007, when Russia was awarded the games,

the region was fairly quiet, but anyone familiar with it should have predicted that severe repression would breed a new terrorist threat.

“Putin wanted Sochi to convey that Russia was back, that stability had returned to the Caucasus,” says Jeffrey Mankoff, deputy director of the Russian and Eurasian program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. “A lot of those boasts have been called into question.”

Rather than glamorize his successes, Sochi has highlighted the weaknesses of Putin’s Kremlin-style rule.

The choice of Sochi, Putin’s vacation hangout, was bizarre for many reasons.

With its semi-tropical climate, it is perhaps the one place in frigid Russia that requires organizers to manufacture snow. The city totally lacked the necessary infrastructure, and the Russian leader spent $52 billion to build it (far more than China spent on the Beijing Olympics), much of that reportedly padding the pockets of cronies. Yet Putin apparently had no second thoughts.

“It comes back to the personality of Vladimir Putin,” says Mankoff. Putin was using Sochi to show he knew how to fight terrorists (unlike those limp Americans), and how to rebuild his country.

To show Russians more of his macho, the Russian leader endorsed controversial legislation on gays in the run-up to the games, causing an international furor. In recent weeks, he also blatantly intervened in the politics of neighboring Ukraine, in hopes of forcing it back into Russia’s sphere of influence, provoking a near civil war.

“Never before in my life has the Olympics been so politically controversial and so identified with the leader of the host country,” says Andrew Kuchins, the director of the CSIS Russian program.

Instead of thinking about sports, the world is waiting anxiously to see whether Chechen terrorists try to upstage Putin. “Sochi has become the holy grail for a jihadi terrorist to go after,” says Kuchins. “This is mano a mano.” With athletes and spectators caught in the middle. Russia’s support for Syrian President Bashar alAssad also increases the attraction of Sochi as a target for terrorists bent on jihad.

Rather than cooperate closely with Western security on securing Sochi, Russian officials prefer — in Putin-like fashion — to go it alone.

Moreover, Putin’s Sochi project has highlighted his weaknesses rather than his strengths. At a time when the Russian economy is

performing poorly, and is dependent on oil prices, the Sochi building extravaganza is a monument to old-style Kremlin thinking — the grandiose prestige projects that helped bring the Soviet empire down. And stories about the gross corruption involved will filter through to many Russians, even though they aren’t reported in state media. (Russian officials are trying to close the last independent TV station, TV Rain, even as the games begin.)

“Because so much of Putin’s prestige is tied up with Sochi,” says Mankoff, “there is a lot of attention paid to what is going on.”

Hopefully, the Olympics will come off safely. But the impulses that drove Putin to choose Sochi send a clear message: This is a man unable to lead Russia to a new and better future, yet he is convinced that he has all the answers.

“Like the second Chechen war, Sochi is all about Putin,” says Russian journalist Natalia Gevorkyan, who has written a biography of the Russian leader. “Either Sochi is the hour of his triumph or ... we don’t know. I cross my fingers that nothing bad will happen during the games.”

Amen.

MLK children dishonor his legacy “I won’t have any money to leave behind. I won’t have the fine and luxurious things of life to leave behind. But I just want to leave a committed life behind.” — Martin Luther King, Jr., Feb. 4, 1968 Maybe we should take up an offering.

Obviously, the heirs of Martin Luther King Jr. are hard up for money. That must be why they keep selling off pieces of his legacy.

Have you heard the latest? King’s youngest child, Bernice, issued a statement last week after her brothers, Dexter and Martin III, filed suit to force her to turn over their father’s Nobel Peace Prize and his traveling Bible.

She says they want to sell them to a private owner.

According to the suit, King’s heirs agreed in 1995 to turn their inheritance over to a corporate entity, The Estate of Martin Luther King Jr. Inc., where Martin is chairman of the board.

The complaint says Bernice has “repeatedly acknowledged and conceded the validity” of the agreement, but still refuses to surrender the items. The suit makes no mention of a sale. I called the King brothers’ lawyer for comment. He didn’t return the call.

In her statement, Bernice writes, “While I love my

What would King think of the fact that these bickering, tiresome children of his are forever in litigation and public squabbles with one another and that money always seems to be at the root?”

brothers dearly, this latest decision by them is extremely troubling.” She says she is “appalled,” “ashamed” and “disappointed” by their behavior. “It reveals a desperation beyond comprehension.” Their father, she adds, “MUST be turning in his grave.”

Turning? Martin Luther King must be spinning like a record album.

Not just because of this, but because over the years his family has missed no opportunity to pimp his legacy.

That verb is used advisedly.

I am mindful of its racial freight, but frankly, no other word adequately describes the behavior of this family with regard to its most celebrated member. Every year, they remind us to respect his legacy, but it seems increasingly apparent they don’t respect — or even fully understand it — themselves.

If they did, they could not have licensed his image for a commercial with Homer Simpson. Or put his personal papers on sale for $20 million. Or demanded money to allow his likeness to grace a memorial on the Washington Mall.

What would King think of them fighting Harry Belafonte for the return of papers King gave him as a gift — especially since Belafonte helped finance King’s movement and the upbringing of these selfsame kids?

What would King think of the fact that these bickering, tiresome children of his are forever in litigation and public squabbles with one another and that money always seems to be at the root? Especially since he famously disdained “shallow things” like personal gain?

So yes, let’s pass the hat.

How much do you think it would take to induce these people to grow up, shut up, and stop using their daddy like an ATM?

I admit to being selective in my vexation. If Woodrow Wilson’s heirs sold his Nobel Prize, or Booker T. Washington’s his Bible, I doubt I would even notice.

The difference, I think, is that King is nearer to us in time and of a magnitude of greatness those men, great though they were, do not approach. He resides on a pantheon of American heroes occupied by the Founders, Abraham Lincoln and no one else. Moreover with him there is, especially for African-Americans but really for all believers in human dignity, a sense of communal ownership and collective investment — a sense that he is ours and his memory, sacred. His children are the caretakers of that memory on behalf of us all. To trade on it for the love of money is starkly appalling and profoundly offensive.

The fact that they either don’t understand this or don’t care speaks volumes.

King’s kids may be legally entitled to sell his legacy to the highest bidder. But the fact that a thing is legal to do does not make it right to do.

Considering who their father was, you’d think that’s something they’d know.

Drilling

The new oil boom The Guerreros are not alone. In recent years, as new technologies like hydraulic fracturing and injection drilling have made it possible to get more oil out of formerly low-producing wells, landowners throughout parts of northeast Kansas have seen oil drillers coming onto their land with heavy trucks and drilling machinery, turning their once peaceful, rural homesteads into industrial-scale oil production meccas.

In Douglas County and some surrounding areas, one oil operator in par-

said, plus an injection well for the disposal of drilling waste.

Although the Guerreros knew when they bought the land that someone else held a lease to the mineral rights, Victoria said there had been little or no drilling activity in that area for many years. And during the two years they were overseas while Fernando served his tour of duty, she said they never received any notice that the leaseholder intended to drill. “They’re supposed to, according to the KCC (the Kansas Corporation Commission), but we never got any notification of anything,� Victoria said. “If they had, questions would have been raised then.�

Now, she says, the land they bought for $65,000 has recently been appraised at less than half that amount, and no bank will give them a loan to build on it because there is no place to build that would meet the set-back requirements for building near a well.

L awrence J ournal -W orld

ticular is raising the ire of property owners: R.T. Enterprises Inc., based in Louisburg, whose owner, Lance Town, declined to be interviewed for this story.

In March 2013 alone, according to Kansas Corporation Commission records, R.T. Enterprises filed 52 notices of intent to drill in the single square-mile section southeast of Baldwin City where the Guerreros bought their land.

Victoria’s mother, Sara Yardley, who lives on the land just south of the Guerreros’ property, said she has been told that R.T. Enterprises plans to drill several wells on her property, including one in her front yard, another within a few feet of her water well and another inside her barn. “You kind of feel like you don’t own your property anymore,� Yardley said.

Both Guerrero and Yardley say they are not opposed to oil drilling, or the use of fossil fuels generally. In fact, they say they enjoy the royalty checks they now get each month for the oil

taken out of their property. “I just don’t want to have to deal with him,�

Guerrero said of Town. “The chances of us selling our land is zero percent now. I would like to get him off the property and get a different operator.�

Drilling complaints The mineral rights in that square-mile section are covered by two leases, known as the Pearson and Finnerty leases, named after the landowners who originally sold the rights in the early 1900s.

Amy Adamson, who also owns property in that area, said the leases state that no wells may be drilled within 200 feet of an existing structure. But while she and the other landowners have always believed that meant structures that exist at the time of the drilling, they say R.T. Enterprises claims it means structures that existed in 1918 and 1919 when the leases were established — structures that no longer exist. “When we built our house here in 2002, we

assumed we would have good protection,� Adamson said.

Adamson said the KCC has declined to get involved in those disputes, saying it’s a civil matter between the oil operators and the landowners.

She also said the KCC has been allowing R.T. Enterprises to drill as many as one well for every 2.5 acres on the lease, four times more than the one per 10 acres spelled out in Kansas regulations.

And for every four oil wells, she said, there is also an injection well for the disposal of salt water and other byproducts of the drilling process.

Legislative response State Sen. Tom Holland, D-Baldwin City, said he has heard numerous complaints about new drilling operations, including some from as far away as Miami County. “There are drillers who have no intention at all to work with landowners,�

Holland said. “They’re not playing nicely in the sandbox.�

Holland recently introduced legislation that he says would give surface-

right holders more protection when old leases are suddenly reactivated.

Among other things, Senate Bill 319 would amend current oil and gas law to limit oil drilling to one well per 10 acres, unless the property owner consents to additional wells. It would also require the KCC to adopt rules and regulations governing wells within 1,000 feet of an occupied structure to protect the rights and safety of the people living there. “With these new technologies coming into play, you’ve got places where they’ve had wells in the past but they’ve been low producing or idle for several years,�

Holland said. “In the meantime, you have people who’ve bought homes out in the country, and it’s a quality-of-life issue.�

Holland’s bill has been assigned to the Senate Natural Resources Committee, which has not yet scheduled a hearing on the issue.

Man facing rape, kidnapping charges A 46-year-old St. Louis man was booked into Douglas County Jail late Friday afternoon on suspicion of multiple crimes including rape and kidnapping, according to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office booking recap.

Lawrence police arrested the man in the 1700 block of West 24th Street at around 5:50 p.m. Friday after responding to a trespassing call. The man was later booked on suspicion of crimes that include kidnapping, rape, criminal trespassing and criminal restraint.

On Saturday, a Lawrence Police Department shift supervisor said further details about the man’s arrest were not available.

The Great Cholesterol Myth

By Jonny Bowden, PhD & Stephen Sinatra, MD (Fair Winds Press, 2012) According to Drs. Bowden and Sinatra, traditional heart disease protocols—with their emphasis on lowering cholesterol—have it all wrong. Emerging science is showing that cholesterol levels are a poor predictor of heart disease and that standard prescriptions for lowering it, such as ineffective low-fat/high-carb diets and serious side-effect-causing statin drugs, obscure the real causes of heart disease.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY GUARD WAYNE SELDEN LAYS UP A SHOT over West Virginia forward Devin Williams (5) during the second half of KU’s 83-69 victory on Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse.

Aggressive Wiggins sparks KU

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Huntington (W.Va.) Prep basketball coach Rob Fulford offered some words of wisdom to Andrew Wiggins — his most famous pupil of all time — during an otherwise relaxing dinner Friday night in Lawrence.

“We joked with him about his drives to the basket and finger-rolls. I said, ‘If I see one finger-roll tomorrow, coach (Bill) Self won’t have to say anything to you because I’ll be cussing at you from the stands,’” Fulford said with a smile after watching Wiggins score a

KU’s depth too much for Mountaineers Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

West Virginia brought so many winning qualities into Allen Fieldhouse on Saturday afternoon, midway through the Big 12 season.

The Mountaineers had a winning road record, a veteran coach (Bob Huggins) who knows how to motivate his men to play their hearts out and most

significantly, relentless guard Juwan Staten. He put Naadir Tharpe on his hip and took him wherever he wanted to take him.

Joel Embiid, the one gigantic advantage Kansas had on West Virginia’s short frontcourt, picked up two quick fouls.

The Mountaineers had so

much going for them, but it never felt as if they had a realistic shot because Kansas has so many players to turn to when things aren’t working out for a few of the starters.

When Embiid headed to the bench, Tarik Black brought his broad shoulders onto the court.

There went KU’s automatic No. 1 option for easy buckets. Black couldn’t replace that, but he brought so much else, was such a force at both ends, that Embiid wasn’t missed.

COMMENTARY

Tebow transcends football

SOUTH AL EAST

By Mike Bianchi

BALTIMORE ORIOLES

The Orlando Sentinel

Now that Super Bowl XLVIII is officially in the books, let us admit now that one quarterback stood out above all others on the NFL’s grandest stage and in modern America’s greatest cultural extravaganza.

That quarterback’s name is Tim Tebow.

That’s right, Tim Tebow, who once again showed that he is bigger than the NFL. Tebow didn’t even have to play in the Super Bowl, and he was a bigger star than either of the participating quarterbacks.

Tebow’s performance in his hilariously entertaining TMobile Super Bowl commercials was much more memorable than Denver quarterback Peyton Manning’s horrendous effort during the Broncos’ 43-8 loss to Seattle. As for Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, his performance was overshadowed by that of his own defense.

“Tim Tebow was a big winner on Sunday night,” said Amy Beamer, whose website SpotBowl.com analyzes Super Bowl ads and polls viewers on the approval ratings of the commercials. “I don’t think anybody going into Sunday night would have thought Tim Tebow would have a better night than Peyton Manning.”

Tebow’s T-Mobile cell phone ads lampooned the fact that he doesn’t have an NFL contract, which allowed him to pursue a variety of other Forrest Gump-like endeavors over the last year such as saving puppies, singing in a rock and roll band, tracking down Big Foot and working for world peace. The commercials were, of course, fictional and farcical, but I believe their message was factual.

And that message is this: Tebow doesn’t need the NFL to become a cultural icon.

He proved it when he was playing in the NFL, and he’s proven it since he was cast out of the league by short-sighted GMs and head coaches. For the two-thirds of a season he was a belowaverage starting quarterback in the NFL two years ago, he was still the league’s biggest rock star.

Now that he’s spent a season away from the league, he’s still one of the biggest celebrities in sports. He was just hired as an ESPN commentator, and he’s still an endorsement gold mine even though he hasn’t started an NFL game in two years. I’ve written it before and I’ll reiterate it here: He has the charisma, the name recognition and the conservative Christian political support to be president of the United States someday.

Go ahead and snicker. They used to snicker, too, at the idea that another charismatic, conservative former college football player could become president. That fella’s name was Ronald Reagan.

I had a conversation a couple of years ago with Orlando attorney John Stemberger, who heads Florida Family Policy Council, a politically connected conservative religious organization. Stemberger was adamant that Tebow could become an immense political force in this country.

“If Tim Tebow wanted to be a political candidate, it’s his for the taking,” Stemberger told me. “He would be a political rock star. He’s handsome, he’s humble and he has character and integrity. This young man could be the next Ronald Reagan or Jack Kemp if he wanted to be.”

Hey, NFL, take your job and shove it.

Tim Tebow is still a bigger star than any quarterback in your league.

Royals counting on Moustakas

Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Mike Moustakas walked through the empty ballroom with such a confident swagger that it was hard to believe the Royals third baseman was coming off one of the toughest seasons of his career.

Or that he was carrying the weight of a franchise on his shoulders.

Once considered a cornerstone of Kansas City’s future, Moustakas struggled so mightily last season that he was nearly sent to the minors. His playing time decreased, and he became a liability at the plate, even as the Royals contended in September for the first time in a decade.

Now, with most of their key pieces back and a few significant acquisitions, the Royals are eager to take the next step by making the postseason for the first time since 1985. And if they have any hope of dethroning Detroit in the AL Central, or even challenging for a wild-card berth, Moustakas knows that he’s going to have to be more productive than a year ago.

“That’s why I worked so hard this offseason,” he said.

First, Moustakas spent a couple of months playing winter

ball in Venezuela. Then, he returned to the U.S. and resumed working with Royals hitting coach Pedro Grifol in Arizona.

Along the way, he also managed to drop about 10 pounds, becoming faster, stronger and more flexible.

Oh, and he also managed to get married.

Suffice to say, it wasn’t a very restful offseason. But Moustakas is confident all the work will pay off with a big bounce-back year, which is why he walked through a ballroom during the club’s annual FanFest with a pronounced bounce to his step.

“I worked on all sorts of things, my swing, pitch selection, different situations,” Moustakas said. “All sorts of things we could work on out there, as opposed to going into spring training to start from ground zero. I was able to get a jump on everything.”

That’s exactly what the Royals were hoping he would do.

“Look, we’ve got to count on all of our young guys getting better,” general manager Dayton Moore said. “We have to count on Moose, and we expect Moose to have a much better year.”

Moustakas made the decision to play winter ball late last season, when the former firstround pick was lugging along a .233 average. He knew that there were things he could do to restore the club’s confidence in him — and his faith in himself — and that the best way to do both was to keep playing competitive games for as long as possible.

He wound up joining the Cardenales de Lara, which happened to be managed by Grifol, allowing Moustakas a chance to work closely with his hitting coach even while in Venezuela.

The fields were a little rough. The bounces were often wacky. The crowds were passionate, if a bit small. The food, well, Moustakas jokes that it’s one of the reasons he lost all that weight.

But the progress he made was unmistakable.

“I took about 300 swings every day before the game,” he said. “We tried to adjust a few things, but nothing too crazy, still the same swing, still try to drive the ball and do some damage. I was able to put solid contact on most every swing I took.”

Walker takes six-shot lead at Pebble Beach Pebble Beach, Calif. — Jimmy Walker had a hot hand in the cold wind Saturday and built a six-shot lead in the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.

SUNFLOWER LEAGUE SWIMMING CHAMPIONSHIPS

Firebirds set relay record, place 3rd

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Olathe — The four swimmers on Free State High’s 200-yard medley relay team entered Saturday afternoon’s Sunflower League Championship with a plan.

Canaan Campbell, Jordan Portela, Josh Terrell and Jack Ziegler knew what time splits they wanted and executed them to perfection.

They raced past their opponents and the clock when they set a Sunflower League record with a time of 1:37.65. “(I was) a little surprised at the medley relay’s time,” said FSHS coach Annette McDonald. The Firebirds topped Olathe East’s record time of 1:39.23 in 2011. “I thought it was going to be a little slower, by like half a second. But when I saw that 37 (seconds), I was just like, ‘Whoa!’

And they were like, ‘Oh yeah, that’s what the plan was.’”

The record-breaking first race set the tone as the Firebirds took third in the league at California Trail Middle School.

“The guys really stepped up the second day, performed really well,” McDonald said.

“First day was good, a couple of hiccups with seventh-places, but they came back strong for the rest of the meet, scored a lot of points, and that’s what it’s all about.”

Portela, who tired after the medley relay, stretched to a victory in the 200yard freestyle. Later, he showed his usual speed in his win during the 100-yard butterfly, falling .66 seconds short of the league record.

“Canaan and Jordan did so impressive,” said Terrell, who took second place in the 100yard breaststroke despite breaking the league record and also finished second in the 200-yard individual medley.

“We’re doing awesome right now. I’m really happy with everything that’s going on.”

Portela added: “I was really happy with it. I was trying to get some of the records, but I’ll try to get them at state. I was pleased with my weekend.”

Senior Hunter Robinson clinched a spot in the state tournament with season-best times in the 100-yard breaststroke and 100-yard butterfly. Junior Nolan Stoppel also qualified for the state tournament in the 50-yard freestyle.

“It kind of feels like I’ll be going out on top,” Robinson said. “I’ll be able to go to state, do my best there, and then I’ll be done. So I’m looking forward to it.”

Lawrence High didn’t have any individual racers qualify for the finals on Saturday, but its 200yard freestyle relay team qualified for the state tournament with a time of 1:36.55.

“They’re happy,” LHS coach Kent McDonald said about the relay team featuring Caleb Axlund, Kiefer Stellwagon, Tim Schraad and Dar-

ren Rawlings. “They’ve worked really hard.

KU women push on after tough losses

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Hovering around the .500 mark most of the season, Kansas University’s women’s basketball team really needed the boost of another Top-25 victory this week.

After the Jayhawks lost by two points at No. 12 Oklahoma State Wednesday night, they knew exactly how much the opposite outcome would have meant. A victory would have given the Jayhawks a winning record, added to their résumé, which includes a victory over Baylor, and helped them gain much needed ground in the Big 12 standings, where they currently reside in eighth place.

“It was just disappointing,” Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said. “But

OKLAHOMA VS. KU Who: Oklahoma (14-9 overall, 5-5 Big 12) at Kansas (11-12, 4-7) When: 2 p.m.

Where: Allen Fieldhouse TV: Metro Sports (WOW cable chs. 37, 226) we’ve got to hold on from a confidence standpoint and use the things we did well.”

Just two games better than KU in the Big 12 loss column, fifth-place Oklahoma (14-9 overall, 5-5 Big 12) visits Allen Fieldhouse at 2 p.m. today to take on the Jayhawks (1112, 4-7).

KU’s top concern might be guarding Aaryn Ellenberg (18.4 points a game), whom Henrickson called “one of the best guards in

America.” But the coach said the Jayhawks also need to remember the things they are doing well right now. She said they have played more assertively, attacked in transition, and teammates have held their own when leading scorer Chelsea Gardner (17.3 points) gets in foul trouble.

The 10th-year KU coach appreciates the way the players have paid attention to opponents’ scouting reports of late.

That has helped defensively.

“You’re trying to make people a little more uncomfortable: ‘This is what you like to have, and we’re not gonna let you have that,’” Henrickson explained.

The Jayhawks have lost seven of their last 11 games, and point guard Natalie Knight said they

know they can’t dwell on the disappointing outcomes.

“We’ve had some tough ones this year, so I think we’re pretty much ready for anything at this point,” Knight said. “Really, you’ve just got to be able to move on. We know the next few games coming up are really important. We’ve just got to be ready for those.”

The junior point guard said Kansas could do itself a favor by focusing on the positive.

“At this point in the season, I think (the issue) is really just consistency, and we’ve struggled with that a little,” she said. “We need to be able to carry over the good things we did in the last game to this game and fix the mistakes that we did make.”

The Jayhawks have

won two of the last four games against the Sooners and are 15-13 against OU when playing inside Allen Fieldhouse. n Today’s game serves as the annual Jayhawks for a Cure game.

Mountaineers relish support in Allen

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Despite the 14-point final deficit and coach Bob Huggins’ obvious disappointment that followed, Saturday seemed like a pretty good day for West Virginia basketball.

Sure, the Mountaineers lost to league-leading Kansas University, 83-69, but they played the Jayhawks tough throughout both halves and did so under the energetic and watchful eyes of some of the loudest visiting fans ever to invade Allen Fieldhouse.

With the bulk of the blue-and-gold-clad Mountaineers supporters stacked three or four rows deep in the rafters of the southwest corner of the arena, the loud-and-proud WVU fans that made the 900-mile trip to Lawrence let their presence be known throughout the game. The Mountaineers players heard them.

“It helped us,” said WVU junior Remi Dibo,

WEST VIRGINIA COACH BOB HUGGINS, RIGHT, CHATS with forward Brandon Watkins during the first half. who finished with seven points and three rebounds in 17 frustrationfilled minutes. “I think it just shows how supportive the people of West Virginia are of their players. One thing’s for sure: I

got support from it. And it was great to feel that in a hostile environment.”

While the Mountaineers (14-10 overall, 6-5 Big 12) never were able to force the Jayhawks (185, 9-1) to play their style,

they also never really went away until the final couple of minutes. And every time they made a run to cut into Kansas’ lead or take one of their own, their fan base that also included several

screamers who sat directly behind the WVU bench roared with approval.

Heck, these people were so ready to make an impact on Saturday’s game, they even risked the icy glares they got from the home fans and let loose with cheers and jeers while the Jayhawks were shooting free throws.

“We’re having so much fun here,” said a Mountaineers fan in a blue WVU jacket who had been tagged in the back with a bright and bold Jayhawk sticker.

As for the nuts and bolts of Saturday’s game, Huggins said his team’s loss boiled down to two things — turnovers and a tough time finding offense.

“It was hard to score,” Huggins said. “We just had some guys that didn’t play very well today. But that happens sometimes.

We had the game where we wanted it, but we turned it over too many times. Fourteen’s too many for us.”

Saturday’s loss was a measuring stick of sorts for Huggins’ squad, which was run out of Allen Fieldhouse in last year’s meeting, 91-65.

“Overall, we are a better team than we were,” WVU guard Eron Harris said. “(This game was) 10 times better than it was last year.

I am proud of my teammates, and I can’t wait to play them again at home.”

Junior guard Juwan Staten (22 points on 7-of-12 shooting) led the Mountaineers in scoring, and Harris added 17, most thanks to three consecutive three-pointers midway through the first half. Harris scored just four points in the second half, when KU gave that defensive assignment to freshman forward Andrew Wiggins.

“They’re a good defensive team,” Staten said.

“They’re a well-coached team. I mean, it’s Kansas.

They don’t really beat themselves. They played like they were supposed to play today.”

Kansas CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

West Virginia dropped to 14-10, 6-5.

West Virginia guard Eron Harris cashed three consecutive threepointers — the first over Wayne Selden and the next two over Wiggins — to give the Mountaineers a 20-17 lead with 11:34 left in the first half.

Harris didn’t make another shot the rest of the game. The 6-3 sophomore hit three of 10 shots overall, three of nine from three, with eight free throws in eight tries.

“It was one of those things, not that he took it for granted, but he wasn’t as close as he needed to (be),” Fulford said.

“Harris hit his first two jump shots. After that he couldn’t get one off. The kid didn’t make a shot the rest of the game.

“He’s an elite defender,” Fulford added of Wiggins.

“I think that’s the biggest part of his game people don’t realize and give him enough credit for.”

Fulford recalled that Wiggins routinely asked

KU coach Self and

“Andrew did a good job guarding him,” Self said.

“Wiggins did a great job,” Huggins agreed.

As far as Wiggins’ offense ... “I try to be aggressive and get into the lane. I do what I can to draw contact and get to the foul line,” he said, the aggressiveness something both Self and Fulford always want to see.

Wiggins was joined in double figures by Wayne Selden, who scored 17 points off 5-of-7 shooting (3-of-5 from three); Joel Embiid, who had 11 points and 12 boards; and Tarik Black, who had 11 points and four boards.

KU’s ’74 Final Four team has ‘fun’ time

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Tommie Smith isn’t surprised his good buddy, Rick Suttle, missed his train from East St. Louis, Ill., to Lawrence for Saturday’s 1974 Final Four team reunion in Allen Fieldhouse.

“What else is new? I know him well. I roomed with him. He said he had some premonition he wasn’t supposed to be here. I said, ‘Rick, please,’” Smith said with a laugh after the Jayhawks’ 83-69 victory over West Virginia.

“It was fun. Old folks always have fun,” Smith, who is retired and lives in Topeka, added with a laugh.

Members of the team that competed in the Final Four 40 years ago watched the game from behind the KU bench and were introduced during a first-half timeout. They dined in the fieldhouse after the game.

“I thought they did a great job,” Smith said of the Jayhawks. “West Virginia had some great shooters. They were making a lot of threes (four of 13 first half, six of 23 overall). We were sitting here

“Our guys played hard to the end, did a good job of defending people on the three.”

Those from the team in attendance: coach Ted Owens, grad assistant Bob Flickner and players Cris Barnthouse, Bob Emery, Dale Greenlee, Tom Kivisto, Roger Morningstar, Smith and Donnie Von Moore. Polly Miranda, wife of assistant coach Sam Miranda, attended.

“It’s been wonderful,” Owens said. “It was a good game. West Virginia has some really good guards that make it difficult. They (Jayhawks) did a great job.”

Of having the ’74 team in town, KU coach Bill Self said: “It’s cool. I hope I’m around when they bring the ’08 team and ’12 team back in 2035 or 2040, whatever it is. It’s cool to see coach (Owens) come back. He’s still connected with all of his players. It was a special team, a great year for Kansas basketball. It was good for our players to witness that.”

Embiid tweaked his back in the closing moments.

“He came down funny on the other end when he got fouled. That’s why I was going to sub for him.

Embiid had 11 points and 12 boards with three blocks in 17 foul-plagued minutes.

“That’s what I told him, ‘You didn’t play a lick and get 11 points, 12 rebounds and three blocks.’ That’s good production for a guy that doesn’t get a chance to play a lot,” Self l said. “Today I’m not sure He’s OK: KU center Joel there was a dropoff when

Black pointed out how KU’s depth makes the team more difficult to scout, even for a team such as Kansas State, which faces its in-state rival for the second time Monday night in Manhattan.

“Every night, everybody doesn’t play all the way to their abilities,” Black said. “So some people take over some nights, and some people take over other nights.

In scouting us, there are some weapons that they haven’t seen yet at their full potential when we played them that might shine next time we play them, and we’re expecting to shine when we play them.”

BIG 12 ROUNDUP

Ejim drops league-record 48 on TCU Iowa State’s school record is 54 by Lafester Rhodes in an overtime victory over Iowa in 1987.

The Associated Press

Men No. 16 Iowa State 84, TCU 69 Ames, Iowa — Melvin Ejim hit 20 of 24 shots in scoring a Big 12-record 48 points and grabbed a career-high 18 rebounds to lead Iowa State over TCU on Saturday.

Ejim had two threepointers and six dunks during his big game, one on a spectacular fastbreak lob from DeAndre Kane that gave the Cyclones (18-4, 6-4 Big 12) a 67-52 lead and effectively put the game out of reach.

A 6-foot-6 senior, Ejim scored 20 straight Iowa State points during one stretch in the second half.

It was his 30th career double-double.

Georges Niang added 11 points, and Kane finished with 10 assists for the Cyclones, who avoided a letdown after their thrilling three-overtime victory at Oklahoma State on Monday, their first win in Stillwater since 1988.

Kyan Anderson led the Horned Frogs (9-13, 0-10) with 27 points and eight assists. Amric Fields scored 18 points, and Karviar Shepherd had 11 for TCU, which was coming off single-digit losses to Texas Tech and No. 15 Texas, but could not keep up with the Cyclones and the high-flying Ejim.

IOWA STATE FORWARD MELVIN EJIM CELEBRATES after a dunk in the second half against TCU on Saturday in Ames, Iowa.

Ejim scored 48 points and grabbed 18 rebounds as Iowa State won, 84-69.

Ejim padded his Big 12 scoring lead with a performance that topped the previous conference record of 44 points by Kansas State’s Denis Clemente in 2009 and the Wildcats’ Michael Beasley in 2008. His previous high had been 23 points against Oklahoma last season.

Kansas State 74, No. 15 Texas 57 Manhattan — Marcus Foster scored a careerhigh 34 points on 13-of-16 shooting as Kansas State ended Texas’ seven-game winning streak.

Foster’s points were the most for Kansas State freshman since Michael Beasley had 39 against Kansas on March 1, 2008.

Will Spradling added nine points for the Wildcats (16-7, 6-4 Big 12), who extended their home winning streak to 12 games.

The win improved coach Bruce Weber’s record at Bramlage Coliseum to 292, 13-1 in conference games.

Texas Tech 65, No. 19 Oklahoma St. 61 Lubbock, Texas — Oklahoma State star Marcus Smart shoved a fan underneath the basket in the waning seconds of Texas Tech’s win over the Cowboys.

Smart tried to block Jaye Crockett’s dunk attempt from behind with 6.2 seconds to go and tumbled into the front row of the crowd. He was helped to his feet by one man but then got in the face of another fan in a black shirt.

The man appeared to say something to Smart, who then shoved him with two hands. The fan stumbled backward a bit but didn’t fall.

American claims Games’ first gold Sochi, Russia (ap) — All the gloom and grim talk leading to the Sochi Olympics at last gave way to more uplifting things.

IOC President Thomas Bach had said it’s “time that it finally starts.” And so it did Saturday — the first competition since the cauldron was lit.

In all, 98 gold medals will be awarded over the next 16 days, and five were settled on Day 2.

Norwegian biathlete Ole Einar Bjoerndalen became the oldest individual gold medalist at the Winter Olympics, winning the 10-kilometer sprint — his seventh career gold. Cross-country skier Marit Bjoergen, also from Norway, captured the women’s 15-kilometer skiathlon for her fourth Olympic title. And American snowboarder Sage Kotsenburg, his blonde hair flapping from his helmet, won the first gold medal of the games by taking men’s slopestyle. l

Biathlon: At age 40, Bjoerndalen became the oldest Winter Olympic gold medalist in an individual sport, bringing him within one gold of the alltime mark of eight held by Norwegian cross-country skiing great Bjorn Daehlie. He was followed by Dominik Landertinger of Austria and Jaroslav Soukup of Czech Republic.

“I am in super form,” Bjoerndalen said. “I prepared well for this and I am feeling strong.” l

Cross-country skiing: Bjoergen’s gold was tempered by grief. The brother of teammate Astrid Uhrenholdt Jacobsen died “suddenly and unexpectedly” a day earlier, according to Norwegian Olympic officials. Bjoergen, joined by teammates, sobbed in an embrace after the race.

“We really did a good race for him today,” Bjoergen said.

Bjoergen held off silver medalist Charlotte Kalla in the final straightaway to win in 38 minutes, 33.6 seconds, successfully defending her title from Vancouver.

Norway’s Heidi Weng won the bronze.

“One gold was my goal, so now I can relax a little bit,” Bjoergen said. l

Snowboarding: Kotsenburg won the first gold of the games. The 20-yearold from Idaho mastered a perilous course in Krasnaya Polyana in slopestyle’s Olympic debut.

He was king of a 12-man field and a slope that features a large nesting doll — a course Shaun White wanted no part of.

Kotsenburg wowed the judges with a daring, spinning maneuver in which he rotated 41⁄2 times. Staale Sandbech of Norway won the silver medal and Mark McMorris of Canada took the bronze.

“I can’t even describe the feeling,” Kotsenburg said. “It’s so cool.”

NBA BRIEFLY McLemore set for dunk contest New York — Portland’s Damian Lillard will become the first player to compete in three events during All-Star Saturday night in New Orleans, including a slam dunk contest that features three All-Stars for the first time in 26 years.

Indiana’s Paul George and Washington’s John Wall also will take part in the night’s marquee event Feb. 15. The remainder of the dunk field is defending champion Terrence Ross of Toronto, Golden State’s Harrison Barnes and Sacramento’s Ben McLemore, a rookie out of Kansas University.

There haven’t been three All-Stars in the dunk contest since the famed 1988 duel, when Michael Jordan beat Dominique Wilkins on his home floor in Chicago, in a field that also included Clyde Drexler.

Lillard, the reigning Rookie of the Year, will play in the Rising Stars

Challenge on Friday night before defending his Skills Challenge title and competing in the three-point contest.

Bringing a

LEGEND to life

Kevin Willmott film ‘Jayhawkers’ explores effect Wilt Chamberlain had on Lawrence on and off court

By Eric Melin

B

road, sweeping biographical films that try to sum up a person’s entire life in two hours rarely ever get it right. That’s why the best thing that happened to Kevin Willmott’s movie “Jayhawkers” was not being able to raise the $12 million dollars they needed.

After the 2004 success of Willmott’s fauxdocumentary satire “C.S.A.: The Confederate States of America” at the Sundance Film Festival, the filmmaker found himself pitching an idea to HBO and ESPN for a biopic of Wilt Chamberlain. “Wilt of Kansas,” which he started writing not long after the basketball legend’s death in 1999, was going to start with Chamberlain in his mansion in Los Angeles as an older man and flashback to, among other things, his days playing college basketball for Kansas University.

But he couldn’t round up the funds, and he let the rights to a Wilt biopic lapse. As Willmott and co-screenwriter Scott Richardson moved on to other film projects, they also began retooling their screenplay in the meantime.

Rather than profiling only Chamberlain’s story, the refocused “Jayhawkers” became an ensemble film with lots of historical context, centered on the three years Chamberlain spent in Lawrence and the permanent effects that period of time had on both the city and the sport.

“This film is more about the town, Phog Allen, Chancellor (Franklin) Murphy, and Wilt coming — and how it changes everything,” Richardson says.

Next weekend, the independent film 15 years in the making can be seen for the first time on the big screen. Starting at 7 p.m. Friday, “Jayhawkers”— which was shot mostly in Lawrence — will show eight times through the weekend at the Lied Center. The movie will tour the film festival circuit directly following, so this will be the only time in a while that audiences here will have an opportunity to see what is bound to be the quintessential movie about Lawrence.

Nothing artificial about this love story

R

etro fashion and style trends are circular, which is why the best filmic versions of the future contain some element of the past.

Writer/director Spike Jonze’s “Her,” now playing at Liberty Hall, takes place in the near future, where modern skyscraper architecture mixes with warm, ’50s-atomicage interiors.

Wool, high-waisted pants with no belts and shirts buttoned all the way up the neck recall the best and worst of the ’30s and the ’70s simultaneously. There’s a conservative, drab slant to the fashions, despite some of the rich colors on display, and it gives the instant impression that the city is full of people yearning for a personal connection, hiding in plain sight.

If this all sounds like some sort of cleanly designed hipster Apple ad, well that’s kind of the point. The handheld devices that Apple helped pioneer — and have changed our lives so much in the last 10 years — are integral to the daily fabric in “Her.” As Theodore Twombly (Joaquin Phoenix) leaves his spotless, lonely high-rise Los Angeles apartment for work, he is surrounded by thousands of people doing the same thing — every one of them zoned into their own little bubble, talking to someone (or something) on devices that are networked into their home computers.

Theodore, hurting from a recent separation from his soon-to-be-exwife (Rooney Mara), falls in love with a new artificially intelligent operating system he’s purchased for his life

JOAQUIN PHOENIX PLAYS THE HUMAN HALF OF A ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP between a person and artificial intelligence (voice by Scarlett Johansson) in “Her,” now at Liberty Hall.

SCENE STEALERS

ERIC MELIN

eric@scene-stealers.com in “the cloud” — also known as his life. The OS is named Samantha, and it isn’t long before she’s analyzed all his files. Soon, she’s cleaning up his email inbox and issuing compliments on his work. How’s that for narcissism?

But the OS is more than that. As voiced by Scarlett Johansson, she’s got a buoyant personality, and she gets to know Theodore intimately, as no one else has — outside of maybe his longtime friend Amy (Amy Adams), who is married.

As its movie-poster

tagline suggests,” Her” is most certainly “a love story.” Theodore and Samantha grow as a couple, going through all the stages of a long-distance relationship and then some. On that level alone — especially since we only ever see one person in the relationship onscreen — the film is an amazing and beautiful concoction. Phoenix does all the heavy lifting, as we hear both sides of the blossoming romance, but we see it register only on one face.

But “Her” is so much more than that. It’s an incredibly perceptive movie, doing what great sciencefiction films often do: holding up a mirror to our present day. It doesn’t just reflect the ways that technology has irrevocably changed our life — “Her” challenges the nature of our humanity and exposes a raw nerve.

Our need to connect is deeply human. Is it so deep that we will knowingly accept something that is completely mechanized and calculated?

Theodore is fully aware that his romantic companion is a construction

of binary numbers, yet he forges a deep connection with “her” anyway.

(There’s even a couple of very provocative sex scenes, and not at all for the typical reasons.)

Jonze’s nuanced screenplay tips the scales one way, only to balance them out again on the other side, all within the construct of a romantic comedy, albeit one in a relatively minor key. Is their relationship different from any human-tohuman one? If anything, it seems to be more compassionate. Living as she does minute to minute with Theodore, Samantha knows him more sympathetically than a

human being ever could.

He has no secrets.

Even more fascinating is how the rest of the world handles the concept of romantic feelings for an OS. When Theodore meets his ex-wife, she asks if he’s dating an OS because he can’t handle a real relationship. But Samantha is real in every sense, other than having a corporeal form, and you don’t need that to go on a romantic picnic.

The thing holding back human relationships has always been fear, and “Her” doesn’t damn the virtual world straight out, but rather it asks whether technology will one day help humans to overcome that fear more easily.

Through all the technological innovation that surrounds us and enables us to be “social,” it is still our decision, our role, our challenge — to allow relationships to develop. To be personal and authentic. Will our reliance on mobile computers help or hinder that development?

In some cases, to be sure, the answer is negative. But not for Theodore. His job — the actual career he gets paid for — is to be more human. He composes “beautiful handwritten letters” for people who can’t find the right words themselves. Ironically, he

MOVIE REVIEW

‘Monuments Men’ a misstep

By Jake Coyle Associated Press

George Clooney, movie director, started out with so much promise.

He began with two stories about television’s power, both to distort reality (“Confessions of a Dangerous Mind” about “Gong Show” host Chuck Barris) and to reveal it (“Good Night, and Good Luck,” about Edward R. Murrow). Neither was perfect, but the films showed tremendous potential, particularly the latter, with its thick clouds of paranoia and cigarette smoke.

But Clooney has gone somewhat astray, with the football comedy “Leatherheads,” the political thriller “The Ides of March” and now “The Monuments Men.” They’re not bad pictures, but nostalgia — made urgent in “Good Night” — suffocates the World War II caper “The Monuments Men” like it did the screwball ode “Leatherheads.”

Clooney’s taste is very good, and in adapting Robert M. Edsel and Bret Witter’s book by the same title about the Allied forces’ pursuit of art masterpieces stolen by Nazis, he has chosen a fascinating historical tale that also bears the intriguing question: What’s the price we’re willing to pay for art?

But while a Michelangelo may be worth dying for, “The Monuments Men” is, at best, adequately priced as a movie ticket. Clooney, working from a script he penned with his frequent collaborator Grant Heslov,

FROM LEFT, BILL MURRAY, DIMITRI LEONIDAS, George Clooney and Bob Balaban are shown in a scene from “The Monuments Men.” has fashioned his film as a traditional WWII flick, with a “Great Escape”-like score by Alexandre Desplat and a sentimental kind of soldierly chumminess.

Only this band of brothers is more like an assembly of academics. A handful of museum curators and art experts have been gathered by art historian Frank Stokes (Clooney) to investigate and retake the troves of artwork the Nazis have stolen for a mammoth German museum planned by Hitler.

The platoon is ill-suited for war but bold in spirit: an art restorer (Matt Damon), an architect (Bill Murray), a sculptor (John Goodman), a British museum head (Hugh Bonneville), a theater producer (Bob Balaban) and a French painting instructor (Jean Dujardin). Some of the pairings are fitting: Clooney and Damon planning another heist (“Ocean’s Thirteen”); Dujardin and Goodman back on speaking terms (“The Artist”).

In truth, more than 300

Allied servicemen and women worked in the Monuments, Fine Arts and Archives program in the final years of the war. They helped lead to the recovery of about 6 million objects (estimates vary). Most of the names in the film have been changed, and the mission has been made significantly more romantic.

“The Monuments Men” is weighed down by dutifulness. It feels like it’s only a third act, lacking any buildup of tension or character development. When Stokes solemnly argues early in the film about risking life for the recovery of what he calls “the foundation of modern society,” the movie has presented its thesis statement, and settled any debate.

Though deadly encounters follow, the nobility of the quest is unchallenged. info LIBERTY HALLForcallaccessibility (785) 749-1972 644 MASS STREET

does this not by writing or even using a keyboard, but by dictating them out loud. No wonder Samantha fell in love with him through conversation.

“Her,” which just won Jonze the WGA award for Best Original Screenplay, sheds light on the universal questions and mysteries of love, and in some ways can be considered a companion piece not just to an obvious corollary like “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,” but also to movies like “Blade Runner” and “A.I.: Artificial Intelligence.”

All of those films ask the same question through different lenses: What is it exactly that makes us human?

“Her” takes two storylines — the Theodore/ Samantha romance and the maturity of machine learning — to what feels like their natural, inevitable conclusions. With a fierce intellect and keen observations about our place in the world, it is a sci-fi movie firmly rooted in the now. Only time will tell how prescient it really is.

Whether you’re madly in love, happily single, or somewhere else on the spectrum entirely, a visit to Kansas City could be just what you need to snap out of the winter doldrums and avoid the Valentine’s Day blues.

Jayhawkers CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

The basketball player who changed Lawrence “A lot people think because of the Free State thing, that Lawrence was always progressive, but it wasn’t like that at all,” says Willmott, who directed “Jayhawkers” and is an associate professor of film at KU. “The film will be interesting for young people to see in terms of a Lawrence that they didn’t even probably know ever existed.”

Of course, that “Free State thing” he refers to are the original Jayhawkers themselves: anti-slavery militants who fought against proslavery forces during the Bleeding Kansas border wars that predated the Civil War. One theme running through all Willmott of writer/director Willmott’s films is taking a hard look at modern racial attitudes, and that idea is also central to “Jayhawkers.”

In the movie, he draws a parallel from Kansas’ bloody past and the imminent cultural changes that were forced on Lawrence in 1955 when Coach Forrest C. “Phog” Allen and Chancellor Franklin Murphy brought the already famous Chamberlain — who was from a non-segregated school in Philadelphia — to KU. “There had never been an athlete like Wilt yet. He’s really the first superstar recruited from high school,” Willmott says. “The fact that Phog Allen got him was a big, big deal.

This was the first time a college had to work that hard to recruit an athlete.”

The civil rights movement is just starting when Wilt arrives in Lawrence, which is still heavily segregated, so the city doesn’t have any examples to go by. Chamberlain is used to being treated differently. He’s a celebrity before he lands in Lawrence, and Allen and Murphy want to make sure he stays here.

The coach wants Wilt because he wants to win games, while Murphy — a true progressive — has an agenda of his own.

In the film, Murphy is played

by KU theater graduate Jay Karnes, known for his roles on TV’s “The Shield” and “Sons of Anarchy.”

“Murphy is the guy who makes Lawrence Lawrence.

He used the power of KU to change the culture of Lawrence. He wants Wilt here because he’ll have this effect on everything,” Willmott says. “That’s how sports effects change. These athletes who have all this talent happen to be black, and so you bring them into a segregated world — and the world has to adjust.”

Chamberlain wanted to play at KU because Allen was the best coach around. Known as the “father of basketball coaches,” Allen was a protégé of James Naismith, who invented the game. As played

by KU graduate and longtime film, TV and theater actor Kip Niven in the movie, Allen also becomes the wounded heart and soul of the film.

“The fact that Phog was a ‘legend’ had no bearing on how I approached the role — except that there was biographical and photographic information available. I read ‘Phog Allen, The Father of Basketball Coaching,’ by Blair Kerkhoff — full of great photos,” Niven says. “I also was able to benefit greatly from conversations with members of Dr. Allen’s family, who were kind enough to give me the notion that I was on the right track.”

Niven, whose first role was a bit part as an Olathe gas-station attendant in 1967’s “In Cold Blood,” has been limited to supporting roles in most of his film work, so he appreciated the chance to sink his teeth into a larger role with a full character arc. In addition to showing the key sportsrelated moments you would expect, “Jayhawkers” also shows glimpses of Allen’s life outside the court. Niven lives fully in the role, giving it a depth and complexity that helps ground the movie and make it more than just a history lesson.

Another layer to “Jayhawkers” is provided by the film’s narrator. Trai Byers plays Nathan Davis, a saxophonist enrolled in KU’s music program in 1955 — a time when the university would take your instrument

away if you were caught playing jazz. Davis and Wilt became friends and used to hang out in Kansas City’s famed 18th and Vine District, so it’s fitting that Davis’ original jazz recordings make up the entire soundtrack of the movie.

“The fact that jazz wasn’t considered music then is kind of symbolic of the segregation and everything else,” says Willmott. “It’s a nice metaphor in terms of people who haven’t quite figured it out yet.”

movie was shot.

“I don’t think there’s anyone in the country who would have been as good as Justin is in the film,” Willmott says.

Chamberlain played in the debut game at Allen Fieldhouse — a freshman-varsity match where he put up 42 points and led his team to beat the KU varsity squad for the first time ever. Ironically, the court named after Coach Allen couldn’t be used during the filming of “Jayhawkers” because it is too modern. Instead, Willmott used

Pretty much everything in the movie is true,” Willmott says. “We didn’t have to change much because the actual story is amazing in itself.”

— “Jayhawkers” director Kevin Willmott

Finding Wilt A worry throughout the years of planning for “Jayhawkers” was the challenge of finding an actor who could play Chamberlain. Even when the movie was slated at a higher budget, there was no one in Hollywood suited to play a skinny 7-foot-1 basketball star, much less have the chops to pull off Wilt’s dynamic feats. It was Coach Bill Self who recommended current KU forward Justin Wesley, who is 6-foot-9 and has a slender frame similar to Chamberlain’s. Wesley is as understated as Allen is outwardly emotional, providing an interesting dynamic between player and coach.

Willmott was extremely pleased with the work his basketball-star-turned-actor did way back in late July and early August 2012, when the

high school gymnasiums in Lawrence for certain scenes, as well as the gym at Topeka High School, which has a natural 1950s-era look to it.

‘The actual story is amazing’ For the style of “Jayhawkers,” Willmott turned to the classic black-and-white photographs of Rich Clarkson, who grew up in Lawrence and started snapping pictures of KU basketball in 1951. His photo of a seated Chamberlain in his KU jersey tying his shoes was named one of the 10 most memorable portraits of the first 40 years of Sports Illustrated.

Clarkson’s dynamic courtside pictures of Wilt and the Jayhawks reminded Willmott of the boxing scenes of Martin Scors-

ese’s “Raging Bull” — stark blacks and whites, no grays and very little actual shots of the crowd.

There were two directors of photography who achieved a similar look for “Jayhawkers,” and both are Lawrence residents and longtime Willmott collaborators: Matt Jacobson, who is also an associate professor of film at KU, and Jeremy Osbern, a former student of both professors. Osbern and his local company Through A Glass Productions are also co-producers on the movie as well.

Shooting the basketball scenes in this very stylized manner not only helps when you have a smaller budget, but in the case of “Jayhawkers,” it allows viewers to focus on the internal struggle of the players. In one memorable scene, a racist Texas crowd is pelting the Jayhawks with various objects and spitting at them.

“Pretty much everything in the movie is true,” Willmott says. “We didn’t have to change much because the actual story is amazing in itself. The film ends with what’s called the greatest basketball game of all time: a triple overtime game against North Carolina.”

Even those steeped in KU basketball lore will find things to be surprised about in “Jayhawkers.” The movie draws from a rich reservoir of history, and puts faces to the people who shaped our city. More importantly, it shows Lawrence as a microcosm of the U.S. during a crucial time of cultural upheaval — one that would pave the way for many of the things we take for granted today.

Shocking works of William S. Burroughs still debated today

By Jane Henderson

He was one of those children who never really got over the magical kingdom. Part of him stayed there.”

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Sue Suhler, retired, Lawrence “‘This is How You Lose Her’ (by Junot Diaz).”

Linda Smith, manager, Topeka “‘City of Ember’ (by Jeanne DuPrau).”

St. Louis — Even sober, William S. Burroughs had visions.

As a young child, he saw a green reindeer the size of a cat. Another time, he woke to see tiny men scrambling among his building blocks, he said.

“He was one of those children who never really got over the magical kingdom. Part of him stayed there,” says biographer Barry Miles.

Over his life, Burroughs traveled much of the world and found substances to induce more visions, which he recorded in books.

This week is the 100th anniversary of Burroughs’ birth — on Feb. 5, 1914 — and his literary kingdom is international, a destination for both scholars and modern beatniks. Novels such as “Naked Lunch,” “Junky” and “Queer” retain an outlaw reputation more than 50 years after he wrote them. The transgressive Burroughs oeuvre enthralls dedicated members.

“His work still has the power to shock, which is pretty hard these days,” Miles says.

Burroughs’ biographer Miles’ 700-page biograMargaret Sloan, phy shows how Burroughs’ nurse, life was mirrored in his Lawrence writing while warning that some of Burroughs’ tales “‘A Street Cat Named Bob’ (by James Bowen).” were likely exaggerated.

— Barry Miles, William S. Burroughs biographer

One thing that wasn’t exaggerated was Burroughs’ addictions, even though he lived to 83.

“Considering what he did to his body over the years, it’s a miracle he survived as long as he did,” Miles said in a telephone interview.

Much of Miles’ knowledge of Burroughs and other Beat writers is first hand: The British writer knew him in the 1960s in London and lived at Allen Ginsberg’s commune in New York. Miles, a member of the underground himself and producer of music and poetry, has also written biographies of Paul McCartney, Jack Kerouac and others.

An affluent childhood But for information on Burroughs’ childhood in St. Louis, Miles draws from the research of Burroughs’ friend and business manager, James Grauerholz. Miles writes of Burroughs’ home: “It was a large, comfortable five-bedroom house with a fifty-foot lawn in front sloping down to the street and a large garden

behind with a fish pond surrounded by rocks. The backyards were separated by high wooden fences twined with roses and morning glory.”

Billy was named for his grandfather, who developed the adding machine.

His grandfather died at age 41, leaving stock to his children.

Throughout Burroughs’ books, memories of St. Louis would make appearances — a talk with his father in the garden, a pet guinea pig, smells from the River Des Peres.

Road to notoriety Burroughs’ writings were nonlinear, often a collage of scenes or stories, and his life itself, is often remembered for unusual, even tragic events. By the early 1940s, Burroughs had already had at least one stay in a mental institution.

While living in New York, he would try heroin and quickly become addicted.

Also in New York, he became close friends with the group that would become known as the Beat writers.

breaking book “Naked Lunch” came out in the United States in 1962. It’s banned in Boston as obscene, but after hearings that included testimony from Norman Mailer and Allen Ginsberg, Massachusetts’ top court accepts that it does have social value.

Miles writes that Burroughs’ writing methods were often unorthodox: “His correspondence with Allen Ginsberg produced his first four books. His experiments with cut-ups and textural juxtaposition using columns and scrapbooks led him far from writing into recording tape cut-ups; photographic collages, photo series, and pattern making...”

Burroughs’ outlaw junkie reputation would influence writers, filmmakers and punk musicians. Today, readers are still at odds over whether “Naked Lunch” is junk or genius. Comments on Amazon.com range from “it is for those of us who seek the truth” to “glorified crap.”

As Burroughs’ biographer says, he was seen “as a great writer, a junkie, a murderer, a misogynist, a member of the original Beat Generation, a mentor to the youth movement of the sixties, a political philosopher, a psychic, a leading gay activist, an artist, a gun advocate, an actor, a humorist, and a ‘good ‘ol boy.’”

Fifty-four years of exploring each other in every way: expression, touch, scent.

There were children. We shared duties, sacrificed dreams, cried together, and celebrated successes. And then we were two once more, cherishing what was left, finishing with tears and emptiness, and friends patting my hand.

“Pert,” I hear him call again.

Habit alone forces me to rise and go. But I know, even as I cross the hall to the study, there will be no one there.

Daughter-in-law refuses to discipline her child Dear Annie: Last year, I was laid off of work. Knowing my financial burden, our son asked whether he and his family could move in with us to help out.

We reluctantly agreed.

The issue is our 7-year-old granddaughter. “Lulu” is spoiled by her mother. There is no accountability for her actions. Her mother makes all kinds of excuses, and it’s almost as though she is rewarded for her lack of behavior and respect.

Lulu dislikes me because I expect her to clean her room and adhere to general household rules and manners. Our son has very little to say. If he tries to discipline his child, he catches it from her mother. How do I get Mom to stop thinking she’s Lulu’s best friend and start being a re-

sponsible mother? — Annoyed Grandma Dear Grandma: We feel sorry for Lulu. Her lack of discipline will make her an undesirable friend and unwelcome everywhere. Parents sometimes don’t realize that children who have no definite boundaries feel insecure and act out. Your son needs to step up and be a father to this girl. If his wife gives him a hard time, they can go for counseling

A look back on the iconic Beatles It was 50 years ago today.

“The Night That Changed America: A Grammy Salute to the Beatles” (7 p.m., Sunday, CBS) reminds us of the remarkable night the Fab Four first played on “The Ed Sullivan Show” on Feb. 9, 1964.

Tonight’s glance back is hardly the first in a long and winding road of Beatles retrospectives.

In fact, rehashing Beatles history is as old as the Beatles phenomenon itself. The band consciously cited their “old” 1964 images as wax figures on their 1967 “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” album cover. And even as they were shedding their mop top facade, it was being recycled on American television as “The Monkees” by 1966.

After breaking up in 1970, the ex-Beatles would find inventive and occasionally angry ways to define themselves as un-Beatles. George Harrison would even appear in the 1978 TV mockumentary “The Rutles: All You Need Is Cash,” a Monty Pythonesque spoof of the band’s well-known story.

It would take John Lennon’s murder in 1980 to end speculation about a Beatles revival. But that hardly stopped a steady parade of imitations and homages.

Retrospective clips within the 1984 spoof “This Is Spinal Tap” offered spot-on parodies of the British folk-skiffle scene from which the Beatles emerged.

Nirvana would imitate early Beatles clips in its 1992 video for “In Bloom.”

The early ‘90s would bring the band Oasis, who flagrantly aped the Beatles’ attitude and sound. I once heard the band described as “the Rutles without a sense of humor.”

The surviving Beatles would reunite for an “Anthology” special, shown on ABC in 1995.

Movies about the Beatles, their music and influence — from “Backbeat” (1994), “Two of Us” (2000), “Across the Universe” (2007) and “Nowhere Boy” (2009) — continued to keep the memories and legend alive.

John Lennon may have imagined that “Tomorrow Never Knows,” but several generations of fans keep wanting to “Get Back,” and hum the closing line of Paul McCartney’s signature song: “I believe ... in yesterday.”

BIRTHDAYS Singer-songwriter Carole King is 72. Actor Joe Pesci is 71. Singer Barbara Lewis is 71.

Actress Mia Farrow is 69. Actor Charles Shaughnessy is 59.

Actress Julie Warner is 49. Rock musician Richard On (O.A.R.) is 35. Actor David Gallagher is 29.

and parenting classes.

We hope you get back on your financial feet soon so they can move out before your relationship is permanently damaged.

Dear Annie: A few years ago, I discovered that my older brother has a daughter who was born back in the ‘70s with an ex-girlfriend.

I tried to get more information, but kept hitting a dead end. One day, I ran into the ex’s parents, who informed me that my brother didn’t want anything to do with the child and I would never be allowed to have contact with her. When I told her our family had no clue the girl even existed, I eventually got the young woman’s name and address. I wrote to her, but received no reply.

This child is now in

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Sunday, Feb. 9: This year you could go from being innovative to unstructured.

This seesaw effect could take a toll on your immediate circle. If you are single, traveling will pave the way to you meeting a new person. If you are attached, you need to remain sensitive to your significant other.

Tonight: Head home, then decide.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Stay alert with regard to spending, as you could go overboard. You might want to funnel some frustration into what you are doing. Tonight: Catch up on news.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You could be more in tune with a situation than you realize. Your drive to help someone might cause him or her to close down. Tonight: A little out of control.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You might want to hear more of what is going on later in the day. You’ll need downtime, as you could be tenser than you realize. Tonight: Join others.

Aside from ignoring his responsibility as a parent, he seems to have forgotten 18 years of child support. We appreciate that you want to make this girl part of your family, but that is her decision. You can write one more time, saying you understand that she may not wish to get in touch, but you want her to have family history and relevant medical information. Give her what she might need, and say you hope she will contact you. Then let it go.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Check in on a loved one.

This person depends on you more than you realize. Tonight: So what if tomorrow is Monday?

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Understand that someone might not see eye to eye with you. Take a drive, and you will relax by the time you return.

BUFFER AWARD The Douglas County Conservation District is pleased to announce that the 2013 Buffer Award is presented to WakN-Duk, LLC., owned by John and Becky Thomas, Larry and Susan McElwain, Lance Focht, and Mark Parks.

Wak-N-Duk, LLC is home to a piece of Douglas County history. The property is located along 1-1/2 miles of a winding edge of the Wakarusa River known as Blue Jacket Crossing. In early history, this was the only crossing on this river for twenty miles as people made their way along the Oregon Trail. This significant piece of history is just one of the many reasons why majority owner and visionary John Thomas loves this property. He and his partners bought this land in 2004 with a vision of conservation, hunting and family time. Both John and Larry McElwain regularly spend time on this land with their families. Together, the group owns 240 acres of some of Douglas Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beautiful Wakarusa bottom land. It is here that they have built several wet marshes and a buffer of native grass.

John Thomas grew up in Paola, Kansas and calls Lawrence home. As an employee of Oread Medical Partners, he and his wife Becky, sons Colin and Clay, make their home near Vinland and have a small vineyard on their property. Their boys are both attending the University of Kansas and in their spare time you can find them out on the Wak-N-Duk property. They enjoy hunting together and are avid waterfowl hunters. They find that this time together has taught them a lot about wildlife and about the land.

Larry McElwain was born in Wichita, Kansas and raised in the small town of Maize and worked for many years on the surrounding farms. He moved to Lawrence in the fall of 1966 to attend the University of Kansas and graduated in 1970. He and his wife Susan Cain McElwain, a K-State alumni, have four daughters and one son. Larry attended additional school and training in California after graduation and then returned to Lawrence in 1972 to work as a licensed funeral director and embalmer for William C. Warren at Warren Mortuary in Lawrence. He worked for the firm until in 1973 when Mr. Warren died suddenly. Larry and his family purchased the mortuary in 1974 and added their name. Now and since, the business has been named Warren-McElwain Mortuary.

Larry sold his interests in October 2013 and is still employed as a full time funeral director and embalmer at the firm.

Larry and Susanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children and grandchildren include Erin (Charley) Hellmuth, Coppell, TX, Anna (William) Brewer, Ft. Worth, TX, Major Davis (Kimberly) McElwain, US Army FOB Apache, Afghanistan, Kirsten Stack, Overland Park, KS and Rebecca Stack, Overland Park, KS. They have seven grandchildren: Avery, Emily, Evan, Caleb, Thomas, Reiter, and Henry.

This project of building Wak-N-Duk, however, is one that almost didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen.

In the early stages, their permit was denied by the local planning commission.

Through a series of conversations back and forth, it was determined that there

was a misunderstanding, but in order to continue with the project they would need to go before the Douglas County Commission. At the time, Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest son, Colin, was just 13 years old and he had been actively involved in the design of Wak-N-Duk property since the very first day. He was eager to learn and eager to help. Colin wanted to be the one to present their project to the Commission. His parents agreed to give him the opportunity, and they were very proud when the Commissioners voted unanimously to approve the project.

So with that unanimous vote, WakN-Duk began their work to build two marshes. The first one is 7 acres when full and the second is 3 acres. Both are shallow ponds of water with food plots and habitat.

Along the edges of these marshes and along the edges of the property are buffers, which are strips of vegetative cover of native grasses that slow water runoff, trap sediment, enhance water infiltration, trap fertilizers, pesticides and heavy metals as well as protect wildlife from harsh weather.

They are a source of food, nesting cover and shelter for many wildlife species that inhabit the area.

Both John and Larry are avid outdoorsman. They love to hunt, and they believe that as a hunter it is your job to be a conservationist. They enjoy teaching their children and grandchildren about balance. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about what you can and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do; they are making this a family affair and teaching them at a young age to be a conservationist. John and Larry believe in keeping the property as natural as they

can keep it to enhance wildlife. They are hoping that their families will be able to enjoy it for many years to come.

(L-R) John Thomas and Larry McElwain

The purpose of the Buffer Practice is to establish a vegetative cover of native grasses for permanent upland bird nesting and brood rearing habitat on eligible cropland, or the dryland corners of center-pivot irrigation systems.

Douglas County Conservation District Conservation Edition

WATER QUALITY AWARD The Douglas County Conservation District is pleased to announce that the Water Quality Award is presented to the Daniel Squires Family. Daniel and Becky Squires were married in 2011 and now have a 9 month old daughter, Amelia.

We met Daniel on a very cold Kansas day when the sky was blue and the wind was typical for this time of year. Daniel had recently given his tractor a good washing and met us with an eagerness to share his operation.

Daniel started farming when he was young, helping on his Uncle Phillip Metskerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farm. His job back then was to help take care of the pigs, and keep the grounds mowed. Much of his early years were alongside his cousin David Metsker, who a couple years older than Daniel, helped teach him how to drive tractors. Daniel also worked for Stan Friesen on his farm near Overbrook while in high school. After graduation he made his way to K-State and earned a degree in Agricultural Economics in 2007. He

worked for Stan for a total of 12 years before deciding to start his own farming venture.

His first job out of college landed him with Cargill as a grain buyer. He worked there until 2013, and was able to work with a lot of farmers in several counties where he learned a great deal about conservation practices. He still talks to many of his old customers, and has a few he likes to model his operation after. Daniel accumulated some rented farm ground from his Uncle Phillip, and began no-tilling. He has purchased 80 acres of his own, and now farms 1000 acres in Douglas and Shawnee Counties. Generally, he rotates corn and soybeans, and will occasionally plant some wheat.

Danielâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Agricultural Economics degree, and working at Cargill, helped him learn to utilize Excel spreadsheets to help track his farm records, calculate his costs/per acre and utilize break-even analysis. Daniel and a friend recently started their own crop Insurance agency

serving Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and Iowa. The new business is called S&S Crop Insurance LLC. Daniel has used EQIP (Environmental Quality Incentive Program) through NRCS (Natural Resources Conservation Service) to help him make conservation improvements on his own, and much of his rented acres. When he takes on new land, he likes to install conservation improvements such as terraces, waterways, and no-till. Danielâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal is to always make the land perform better than the way he found it. He also has implemented grid sampling and variable rate nutrient management, this gives him the ability to put the exact amount of nutrients on as the soils change throughout the field. The

cost share helps him be able to make these improvements on the land.

(L-R) Amelia, Becky & Daniel Squires

The purpose of the Water Quality program is to stimulate a greater interest in the protection of the water resources of Douglas County by giving recognition to those farmers and ranchers who have taken measures to improve and protect water quality on their farms and ranches.

GRASSLAND AWARD The Douglas County Conservation District is pleased to announce that the 2013 Grassland Award is presented to Gerald and Deb Powell, Kevin Powell, and Roxand and Ted Sumner.

When you drive down the dirt roads around Lecompton, you see a beautiful part of Douglas County.

Add to that the picturesque grasslands of the Powell Family Farm, and it fits into the landscape. The Powell Family farm was owned by the grandfather of Gerald Powell and his brother Kevin and sister Roxand. All three of the siblings now live on the old farmstead of about 200 acres. Of that, about 60 acres is in native grass and enrolled in the CRP (Conservation Reserve Program) and the remaining 120 acres is timberland.

In the spring of 2013, the family interseeded clover into the CRP and they are very pleased with the results.

So much so that they signed up for another 10 years in the CRP program that same year.

The family tries to burn the grassland every year and they trim the brush and trees. They have used herbicides to control the sericea lespedeza. One of the many benefits that the Powellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enjoy from the land is the wildlife. They enjoy hunting deer, turkey and small game; and they have occasionally seen a pheasant hanging around. There is even a creek that runs through the timber area. They utilize the hedge for firewood and Deb Powell enjoys mushroom hunting on the land as well.

The Powellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s believe in conservation and it is their desire to preserve these grasslands for future generations.

This desire is one of the many reasons that the Powell Family is the winner of the Grassland Award.

(L-R) Deb and Gerald Powell

The purpose of the Grassland program is to recognize the outstanding contribution to the conservation, management and/or education of the grasslands of Kansas.

Douglas County Conservation District Conservation Edition

| 3E

Special advertising focus of the Lawrence Journal-World

ENERGY AWARD The Douglas County Conservation District is pleased to announce that the 2013 Energy Award is presented to Washington Creek Lavender Farm, owned and operated by Jack and Kathy Wilson.

When you first make your way over the top of the hill, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t immediately see the lavender. Your first thought is, what is on top of this beautiful spot in Douglas County? At last, the lavender comes into full view. The beautiful colors of purple are nestled in the 20 acres at the top of the hill. The lavender acreage is near the 26 acres they originally purchased next to Kathyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandparentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farm that was in the creek bottomland. The Wilsons planted their first lavender test plants in 2005. They also planted some in the valley but found it was too wet. Later in 2006 they planted at the top of the hill and the lavender thrived. This is because lavender does well in the drier soils. The Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tried other crops such as basil and tomatoes, but they gave them up and continued to add more lavender each year.

In 2012, the Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s built a hoop house through the EQIP (Environmental Quality Incentive Program) through NRCS (Natural Resources Conservation Service)

on the hill near the lavender fields, which will allow them to have a longer growing season. Additionally, in 2013 they built a beautiful red barn that is used as a drying room and also houses their Washington Creek Lavender Farm Store. They held their first Open House in June of 2013.

When planning to build the red barn, they soon realized that electricity to this location was going to be a problem. They needed electricity to run the fans that help to dry the lavender and for the store lights and other electrical needs. To run rural electricity to the barn was going to be very expensive. At the time, Kathy was serving on the Board of K-State Research and Extension in Douglas Country when they installed solar electric panels on their office. Kathy thought that this might be a solution to their own energy needs, so Jack and Kathy worked with Good Energy Solutions of Lawrence to install the solar photovoltaic system. This system includes batteries to provide electricity when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dark or there is no sun. They also have a back-up propane/gasoline generator.

Once the Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s were able to grow their operation, they began to market their lavender products at the Kansas City and

Lawrence Farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Markets, Hy-Vee and The Merc in Lawrence, Pendletonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s County Market in Eudora, and through their website. They have 8 varieties of lavender planted: white, pink, and variations of purple. Some of the varieties are used for culinary and others for fragrance.

The Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s are continually surprised at how quickly their little farm has grown. Much of this growth can be attributed to the drive of Jack and Kathy, as well as innovative solutions such as the solar panels on the red barn. This type of creativity and problem solving are what exemplifies the recipient of these conservation awards. Congratulations Jack and Kathyâ&#x20AC;Ś.enjoy the journey!

The purpose of the Energy Conservation Recognition Program is to stimulate a greater interest in the conservation of energy by giving recognition to those Kansas farmers and ranchers who have taken measures to reduce fossil-fuel based energy consumption on their farms and ranches.

SOIL CONSERVATION AWARD The Douglas County Conservation District is pleased to announce that the 2013 Soil Conservation Award is presented to Hagerman-Craig Farms, Inc., owned by Larry and Eloise Craig and Mike and Julie Craig and family.

The Craig Family homestead is anchored by a beautiful limestone home that is nestled along a country rode in Douglas County. The Craigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s have lived in their home for 50 years now.

Larry and Eloise Craig started farming in 1955 with Aub Hagerman and they eventually took over the farm and included their children, Mike and Shannon. They continued to run the dairy for many years and they also raised a lot of alfalfa and silage. Son Mike and his wife Julie joined the farm after they both attended K-State and now their grandson Dennis is also working the family farm. Daughter Sharron lives in Arkansas and owns some farmland that is farmed by the Craig Family as well.

Now days, the family farms 2,000 acres, of which they own 1,800 acres. They raise corn, soybeans, wheat and hay. They also have a cow-calf operation.

The family enjoys their land and they want to do a good job of caring for the land, so they have started implementing conservations plans on their land. The most current project completed was for 4,460 feet of terraces with 1,457 feet of pipe under the EQIP Program (Environmental Quality Incentive Program) through NRCS (Natural Resources Conservation Service) to help make conservation improvements. Much of the Hagerman-Craig Farm is complete with terrace and waterways that have been built over the years, working to conserve soil and water. They have also implemented no-till conservation practices on much of their farmland.

The Craig Family has witnessed a lots of changes to Douglas County since 1955 when it all began, but they want to make sure that their piece is conserved for

future generations and to allow these farming practices to continue. We salute them for their efforts in soil conservation.

Douglas County Conservation District Conservation Edition

Special advertising focus of the Lawrence Journal-World

WILDLIFE HABITAT AWARD The Douglas County Conservation District is pleased to announce that the 2013 Wildlife Habitat Award is presented to Clyde & Marybeth Mermis Family.

Clyde and Marybeth were raised on family farms in Ellis County, Kansas. Both learned early in life the importance of taking care of the land. Living in western Kansas required windbreaks around the farmstead and livestock shelter belts for the cattle to protect against the cold winter winds. Planting trees in the spring and hauling water to these trees in the summer was a yearly activity.

Hunting activities provided many hours of recreation for Clyde and Marybeth growing up in rural Ellis County. Marybeth remembers hunting trips with her brothers where her duty was to carry home the pheasants or rabbits taken during the hunts. Clyde fondly remembers the week-end jack rabbit hunts as a teenager that produced the 10 cent per rabbit bounty.

After college, Clyde and Marybeth operated a successful grain and livestock operation in Ellis County for 13 years.

Continuing what they had learned as children from their parents-take care of the land and the land will take care of you-they now practice on their own farm.

While production agriculture was the number one priority on the Mermis Farm, the wildlife was not forgotten. Over 1,000 trees and shrubs were planted on land around the Mermis Pond and cropland close to the family farmstead. The three Mermis children, Cory, Lisa, and Jill continued the family tradition of planting and watering trees.

In 1986, Clyde and Marybeth opted to make a career change and Clyde went to work for the Natural Resources Conservation Service, an agency in the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Clyde worked for this agency for

25 years, retiring January 1, 2012. Clyde has assisted hundreds of landowners in improving Kansas cropland and grassland in the three counties worked during his NRCS career.

While living in Decatur County, Clyde and Marybeth still continued to improve their Ellis County land with planting of trees, shrubs and applying other wildlife habitat improvement activities. Wildlife food plots were incorporated on cropland entered into the CRP Program.

In 1996, Clydeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job with NRCS transferred him to Lawrence. On one of the many farm compliance checks that Clyde did with his NRCS job, he checked some property that immediately sparked an interest. Shortly after the farm check he contacted the owner and inquired into the possibility of purchasing the property.

A deal was struck with the landowner and the Mermises now own 52 acres of Douglas County property which has been named Get-A-Way Acres.

The entire Mermis family, who all live in close proximity to Lawrence, have played an important role in taking care of our most valuable resources- soil and water.

Having the advantage of knowing agriculture programs working with USDA/NRCS, Clyde knew several government programs that were a perfect fit for the Mermis land. Twenty-seven acres of the thirty acres of cropland were immediately entered into the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP).

Filter strips, field borders and wetland development were specific conservation practices with the CRP Program that were enrolled. Over 12,000 cubic yards of dirt were moved to build the two wetlands over natural springs that kept parts of the property wet most times of the year. Six species of native grass and over 20 species of wildflowers/forbs were planted on

former cropland with the CRP Program.

The Mermises are pleased to report that quail are seen almost every time they visit their property.

The Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program (WHIP) was also perfect for the Mermis property. Fifteen acres of woodland and wasteland was enrolled in the WHIP Program. Forest Stand Improvement (tree thinning) and shrub plantings were specific practices applied with the WHIP Program. In the spring of 2012 over 425 shrubs were planted with weed barrier fabric applied. The tree thinning project was completed in 2011.

Five acres of former cropland has been enrolled in the 5 year USDA Bio-Mass Program. With this program the three tall species of grass: Indiangrass, Big Bluestem and Switchgrass and two legume forbs were planted.

A special project Clyde likes best is the oak tree project where 15 different species of tree have been planted. To be able to compare the trees growing side-by-side will be an interesting project.

The next project for Get-A-Way Acres is the construction of a 1 1/4 acre pond which is scheduled for the spring of 2014.

Clyde & Marybeth are very thankful and proud of the fact that they are able to work to teach their grandkids â&#x20AC;&#x153;how toâ&#x20AC;? build a fence, plant a tree, drive a tractor, appreciate wildlife, play in the dirt, explore a barn and do many other things that city kids never have the opportunity to do. The Get-A-Way Acres property has the historic Santa Fe Trail run through it which gives the grandchildren a valuable history lesson.

The Get-A-Way Acres property is giving three generations of families the opportunity to enjoy our natural resources as well as the responsibility of leaving the land better than when they received it.

The purpose of the Buffer Practice is to establish a vegetative cover of native grasses for permanent upland bird nesting and brood rearing habitat on eligible cropland, or the dryland corners of center-pivot irrigation systems.

A SURVIVOR’S STORY

I

n September of 2008, Lawrence Fire Chief Mark Bradford was sitting down to eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with his wife, Trisha. Suddenly, nausea overpowered him. His face turned grey. He began sweating all over his body. He felt unrelenting pain underneath his sternum.

When Trisha asked him what was happening, at first he said “No, it’s just indigestion.” But he and his wife continued to talk calmly, despite his shortness of breath. As the symptoms became more intense, they decided that it was likely a heart attack.

Trisha called 911. She had to retain her presence of mind to tell the dispatch operator about the symptoms. Having worked for the Police Department for seven years, she knew what she had to tell the dispatcher.

“It’s weird how these things go through your mind, but I had to move furniture around to make room for the dispatch,” she said of her experience during the critical moments. She had to gather his medication bottles to hand to the paramedics so that they would know what he was taking. Within minutes, medical personnel came to take him to the hospital.

They were fortunate that this couple was familiar with emergencies. “I knew it was a heart attack. I’ve been a paramedic since 1980,” said Mark. “Being in the fire service, and being involved in pre-hospital medicine, I had what I considered to be the classic signs and symptoms of a heart attack.”

It only took 19 minutes from the moment he entered the doors of the emergency room at Lawrence Memorial Hospital for him to get in the operating room. Every second counted – the diagnosis turned out to be a complete occlusion of the lateral anterior descending vein. “They call that the widow maker,” said Mark. “Traditionally, people who have that particular blockage don’t survive.”

The team at the hospital kept Chief Bradford on a heart pump for two days at the ICU, kept him for two days in recovery, and then discharged him to cardiac rehabilitation. Since then, he hasn’t suffered

Mark and Trisha Bradford, both age 54.

another heart attack, but his wife and 20-year-old son remain focused on his continued recovery.

“We’re eating healthier,” said Trisha. “We’ve gone to more fruits and vegetables.” They’ve reduced their portion sizes and have tried reducing their sodium intake. They’ve become more conscious of their cholesterol levels.

Following exercise advice has been more challenging: “Finding the time to do it is hard. Everyone has their excuses, but just committing the time to get adequate exercise every day is difficult,” said Mark. They walk their dogs together to get in some regular activity. Trisha has run two marathons, and spars as a boxer.

Trisha’s advice to other families of heart attack

survivors is to be conscious of their own emotional and physical health. “Take time for yourself. It’s an ongoing stressful situation,” she said. “There’s still that ongoing fear. My priority is to keep myself healthy and in good shape, so that if something else were to happen, there’ll be someone here for my son.”

Chief Bradford credits his survival to the speed with which they identified the heart attack. “Any kind of chest discomfort should be assessed,” said Mark. “Don’t think that it can go away. As a responder, that’s what we hear more than anything else. If [the patient] waits four to five hours until the pain becomes unbearable, that’s when they go into cardiac arrest.”

SIGNS OF A HEART ATTACK OR STROKE More women die of cardiovascular disease than from the next four causes of death combined, including all forms of cancer. But 80 percent of cardiac events in women could be prevented if they made the right choices for their hearts through diet, exercise and abstinence from smoking.

HEART ATTACK A heart attack occurs when the blood flow to a part of the heart is blocked, usually by a blood clot. If this clot cuts off the blood flow completely, the part of the heart muscle supplied by that artery begins to die.

The Lawrence Memorial Hospital (LMH) cardiology department has two new cardiac specialists on staff: Doctors Elizabeth Guastello and Christina Salazar, both Kansas natives. Guastello was born in Kansas City and Christina is from Lawrence. The two join the team of seven doctors under the Cardiovascular Specialists of Lawrence organization, affiliated with LMH. Guastello graduated from the University of Kansas in 1996, earned her MBA from KU, and her master’s in public health from the University of Minnesota.

She went to medical school at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, and finished her internal medicine residency at the University of Michigan. Her father, a successful doctor, inspired her to pursue her medical career.

Dr. Guastello says that lack of awareness of that the symptoms of heart attacks are different in women than in men often causes severe complications for female heart attack survivors. “Women often have a feeling of nausea, heartburn, and flu-like symptoms,” said Guastello.

“Typically, we’ve all had the flu. With this, you’re unlikely to get the other assorted symptoms.” She says that a key difference between ordinary health problems and a heart attack is the experience of worsening pain due to activity from a stomach ache.

According to her, women often only know about heart attack symptoms as they’re experienced in men, which often manifests with sharp and severe chest pain. Women experience heart attacks differently owing to differences in female physiology.

Dr. Salazar, the other new member of the LMH cardiology team, graduated from the University of Kansas in 2002 and earned her medical degree from KU in 2007. She finished residency training at Ohio State University, and also completed her cardiovascular fellowship at Ohio State. Salazar also cites her father as her inspiration to become a doctor. Like her, he practices internal medicine.

“Women need to know that they are at risk for heart disease,” said Dr. Salazar.

“They need to know their blood pressure, their cholesterol, and their BMI. They also need to know their current blood sugar information.” Keeping an eye on these key health indicators and following medical advice is important to reduce the risks of suffering heart attacks and strokes.

Salazar says that it’s a common misconception that heart disease is primarily a ‘male’ ailment. Part of this is due to that many prominent cardiology studies are primarily performed on men, which flows down into health news.

Both Guastello and Salazar have stated that they felt encouraged to join the team at LMH by the relatively low ratio of women among the ranks of cardiologists. According to LMH, only about 15% of cardiologists are women.

Working on increasing awareness among women of the risks of cardiac ailments in the greater Lawrence area is one of their stated goals as they’ve joined the Cardiac Specialists of Lawrence.

Both doctors agree that making emotional connections with patients is important towards encouraging compliance with lifesaving treatments and sensible prevention measures.

Common warning signs of heart attack in women include: (Which may be different than signs for men) • Chest pain or uncomfortable chest pressure that lasts longer than a few minutes • Arm discomfort (especially while under stress or during activity) • Indigestion, abdominal pain or dizziness • Cold sweats or shortness of breath (often without chest pain) • Pain in the upper back, shoulders, between the shoulder blades, or in the neck or jaw • Flu-like symptoms such as nausea or vomiting or unexplained fatigue or weakness If you have any of these signs, don’t wait more than five minutes before calling for help.

Call 9-1-1. Get to a hospital right away.

STROKE Stroke is the No. 4 cause of death in America. It’s also a major cause of severe, long-term disability. Stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA) happen when a blood vessel feeding the brain gets clogged or bursts. The signs of a TIA are like a stroke, but usually last only a few minutes. If you have any of these signs, don’t wait more than five minutes before calling for help. Call 9-1-1 to get help fast if you have any of these, but remember that not all of these warning signs occur in every stroke.

Spot a stroke F.A.S.T. with these warning signs: F - Face Drooping: Does one side of the face droop or is it numb? Ask the person to smile.

A - Arm Weakness: Is one arm weak or numb? Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?

S - Speech Difficulty: Is speech slurred, are they unable to speak, or are they hard to understand?

Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence like, “The sky is blue.” Is the sentence repeated correctly?

T - Time to call 9-1-1: If the person shows any of these symptoms, even if the symptoms go away, call 9-1-1 and get them to the hospital immediately.

Also, check the time so you’ll know when the first symptoms appeared. It’s important to take immediate action. Research funded by the American Heart Association has shown that if given within three hours of the start of symptoms, a clot-busting drug can reduce longterm disability for the most common type of stroke.

A healthy diet and lifestyle are your best weapons to fight cardiovascular disease.

However, there are a lot of mixed messages and myths out there regarding healthy eating. With all the differing opinions, it’s best to get informed from credible sources so that you can make smart choices about your diet. It’s the overall pattern of your choices that counts most — think nutrition.

Nutrient-rich foods have vitamins, minerals, fiber and other nutrients, but are lower in calories. The American Heart Association recommends that you eat a wide variety of nutritious foods daily.

American Heart Association’s components of a healthy diet 1. Vegetables and fruits are high in vitamins, minerals and fiber — and they’re low in calories. Eating a variety of fruits and vegetables may help you control your weight and blood pressure.

2. Unrefined whole-grain foods contain fiber that can help lower your blood cholesterol and help you feel full, which may help you manage your weight.

3. Eat fish at least twice a week. Recent research shows that eating oily fish containing omega-3 fatty acids (salmon, trout and herring) may help lower your risk of death from coronary artery disease.

4. Cut back on foods containing partially hydrogenated vegetable oils to reduce trans fat in your diet. Aim to eat less than 300 milligrams of cholesterol each day. Choose and prepare foods with little or no salt. Aim to eat less than 1,500 milligrams of sodium per day.

5. Keep your intake of sugar-sweetened beverages to less than 36 oz per week.

Tips for a healthy diet • Eat slowly, take smaller portions and avoid “seconds.”

• Cook foods in ways that do not add fat, like baking, boiling, broiling, grilling, roasting or stewing.

• When you really crave a high-calorie food, eat a small amount and forget about it, instead of resisting until you give in and gorge. If you don’t trust yourself with just a little, don’t eat any at all.

• Keep saturated fat to less than 7 percent of energy; use red meat sparingly and choose lean or extra-lean cuts.

Cooking Instructions Preheat grill to medium-high.

Grill tomatoes and bell pepper, turning a few times, until they soften and the skins are blistered and charred in spots, about 8 minutes. Transfer the pepper to a plastic bag and let it steam until cool enough to handle. Peel off the skin; cut the pepper in half and discard the stem and seeds. Place one half in a blender. When the tomatoes are cool enough to handle, core and roughly chop. Add the tomatoes, skins and all, to the blender.

Add half the cucumber to the blender along with bread, garlic, vinegar to taste, parsley, piment dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Espelette (or paprika or cayenne), salt and pepper. Blend until smooth. Add oil and blend until well combined. Refrigerate until room temperature or chilled, at least 1 hour.

Before serving, finely dice the remaining cucumber and bell pepper; stir half of each into the gazpacho and garnish with the remaining cucumber and bell pepper.
