arolyn Welch, artistic director of the Lawrence Children’s Choir, often thinks of choir instruction in terms of cooking — you have to start with highquality ingredients in order to get the best possible results, she said.

As director of four youth choirs ranging from kindergarten to 10th grade, Welch said this means not only picking interesting music but also making

“The entire process is endlessly creative,” she said.

“There’s so many ways you can put things together, and it’s really fun. A good piece of music is a very powerful thing.”

And just as the cook is important, the director of a choir plays a pivotal role. David Carttar, whose three daughters have participated in LCC, said Welch’s attitude and enthusiasm for

It’s supposed to free classes from the “universal lesson” format — all eyes trained on one lecturer — and optimize independent and collaborative learning at a student’s own pace.

Two years after the district began by experimenting with eight classes, about 150 classes now function like this. Measurable data are not yet available, but reviews from teachers, students and parents are accumulating and positive.

A 2014 district survey said 97 percent of blended learning teachers think the initiative has increased student engagement. About 82 percent of students said they felt better prepared for blended classes than traditional classes. And nearly 70 percent of parents said their child is experiencing success in blended rooms.

“I know right now that I am the best teacher that I have ever been and I know that every day my students are making better progress than they ever have,” Barr said.

LAWRENCE • STATE

.

Testimonials Many of the district’s blended learning teachers are moving their classes in the same direction: fewer lectures, more work time and a loose structure that allows students to choose how fast they want to work and how they want to learn.

They might do it on their own, with one or more partners or in teacher-led small group instruction.

Students are able to find various course materials — assignments, videos and more — through an online resource.

Barr said this freedom has allowed to her to keep closer tabs on students.

In a three-minute period, she helped five students at three tables. In another 10-minute stretch, she spoke with four students and sat down at a table to informally quiz four more on subtraction problems.

A fifth student saw that happening and joined in.

“I know my students better than I ever have now that I’m standing side-by-side every day, not standing in front of the classroom and talking at them,” Barr said.

Andy Bricker, a Lawrence High School science teacher, said the engagement and productivity of his students is “through the roof.”

The students seem to

relish their liberty and prefer the blended environment over the traditional setup. Kayleigh Pokphanh, a seventhgrader in Kelly Hart’s English class at South Middle School, said other classes move too quickly.

“In blended classes you have more time to absorb more information,” she said.

Meanwhile, three students of Barr’s — Richard Li, Matthew Liu and Cayman Cook (who work together unless “they get annoying,” Richard said) — hope they get to take another blended class in the fourth grade.

The future The Lawrence school district hasn’t set a goal for a specific number of blended classrooms by a specific date, but Superintendent Rick Doll said at a Feb. 9 school board meeting that he hopes the board “will put a stake in the ground” this summer during the annual goalsetting process.

James Basham, a professor in Kansas University’s Department of Special Education, said this kind of learning is “the way of the future.”

He said that if set up correctly, “really, I don’t see a disadvantage to it.”

“It’s allowing them to learn at their own pace

L awrence J ournal -W orld

and really take advantage of maximizing their own learning,” he said.

The district won’t be finished expanding the program for several years. It’s budgeted to spend $675,000 on equipment for 75 to 80 new blended classes every year though 2018.

Over that time, another $375,000 per year will go to new furniture such as round tables and desks that are easier to combine for group work.

“We are done buying individualized desks,” said Angelique Kobler, the district’s assistant superintendent of teaching and learning.

She said the district is working to make tablet devices available for rent from school libraries.

If the pace continues, every class would be blended by 2021, Kobler said. That’s what she wants to happen.

“I think it’s critical for all students to at least experience it,” Kobler said. “Putting the student in more control of their learning by helping them understand what kind of learners they are, I think just prepares them to be more successful.”

Open records request Choir may illustrate state law shortcomings Topeka (ap) — A heavily redacted 11-page response from Kansas State University to a newspaper’s open records request illustrates shortcomings with the state’s open records law, but a leading First Amendment expert said it can be difficult to challenge such redactions.

The Topeka CapitalJournal requested all emails between Kent Glasscock, the president of the school’s Institute for Commercialization, and Shawn Sullivan, the state’s budget director, from November through late January. The newspaper was seeking more information about how Gov. Sam Brownback’s budget proposal was developed.

The university responded last week by providing nearly blacked-out pages.

Mike Merriam, a Topeka attorney who has spent decades taking on First Amendment cases, said he has seen other instances involving heavy redactions, but he questioned the university’s justification for such extensive redaction on fulfilling the Capital-Journal’s request.

The Wichita Eagle initially reported that lobbyists David Kensinger and Mark Dugan, who both have long-running ties to the administration,

were given a preview of Brownback’s budget in a late December email. The Capital-Journal filed its request to see whether the lobbyists’ inclusion in the process extended beyond that email.

Emails that Kansas State provided to the newspaper show Kensinger and Dugan were included in discussions about the budget as early as Dec. 6, but those emails were almost entirely redacted.

The university cited an exemption in the Kansas Open Records Act that allows notes, preliminary drafts, research data in the analysis process, memoranda and other records in which “opinions are expressed or policies or actions are proposed” to be protected from disclosure.

Kansas State could have provided those documents without the redactions, but it wasn’t required by law.

Merriam said the disclosure exemption was meant to apply to internal deliberative processes by a public agency, and that it’s not an internal process when it involves people who aren’t members of that agency. Challenging such redactions is difficult because it can be hard to argue they shouldn’t have been redacted without having seen the unredacted version, he said.

The researchers used historic tree ring data and three drought measures to conclude that there was at least an 80 percent chance of a 35-year-long drought occurring by the end of this century.

“Imagine a naturally occurring drought, such as the one occurring in California ... imagine that going on for decades ... that’s kind of a mega-drought,” said lead study author Benjamin Cook, a climatologist at NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies.

Cook and his coauthors — Toby Ault, a geoscientist at Cornell University, and Jason Smerdon, a climate scientist at the LamontDoherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University — discussed their research at a San Jose teleconference Thursday.

Although many scientists agree that California’s current drought is the result of natural climate variability, not global warming, Cook and his colleagues said human-produced greenhouse gases were increasing the likelihood of future droughts.

Higher temperatures, low precipitation and increased rates of evaporation would result in drier soils, they said.

The researchers said their model was based on predicted emissions and that reductions could mitigate future drying.

“We’re not necessarily locked into these levels of mega-drought risk if we slow the effects of rising greenhouse gas on global temperatures,” Ault said.

Very long and extreme periods of drought have affected Southern California and much of the western United States in the past, although long before the founding of the nation.

According to scientists, paleoclimatic evidence suggests that intense periods of dryness occurred in this region from the 9th to the 14th centuries, a period now called the Medieval Climate Anomaly.

Cook and his colleagues said future drought risk probably will exceed that of the Medieval Anomaly.

“Our results point to a remarkably drier future that falls far outside the contemporary experience of natural and human systems ... conditions that may present a substantial challenge to adaptation,” the authors wrote.

“I think we all have the military spirit,” she said.

“My husband is a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel, and I have two sons and a daughter-in-law in the Air National Guard.”

With that shared background, it’s not surprising one group member has already made a couple of the patriotic gift quilts.

“I’ve already made two quilts of valor, one for my brother who served in Vietnam and another for a vet who had served in Afghanistan,” Granberg said.

Sharon Vesecky, the owner of Quilter’s Paradise in downtown Baldwin City, is supporting the effort by paying the local chapter’s group membership to Quilters of Valor and making the shop available for the club’s

monthly meeting.

Other Stitching Grannies and members of the Maple Leaf Quilt Guild will help by contributing the blocks, as the square patterns of material in the quilts are called, Granberg said.

“Quilters are going to make them in red, white and blue and give them to us,” she said. “It’s our job to pull them all together and make the unfinished quilt.”

Once that is done, others in the local quilting community will pitch in again to help with the quilts’ final finish stitching, Granberg said. The group is also taking donations of red, white and blue quilting materials and cash for supplies. Donations can be left at Quilter’s Paradise at 713 Eighth St., or donors can call 620-344-2694.

Conservative Republicans have tried but failed to overhaul Kansas’ school curriculums in each of the past two years, but with a bigger majority in the state House and a looming budget crisis, some believe this could be the year they finally get their way.

Kansas is facing budget shortfalls of nearly $600 million for the fiscal year that begins July 1. State governments are barred from running deficits yearto-year, which can give LEGISLATURE leverage to groups that attach policy changes to budget bills late in the legislative session when they must pass.

Last year, conservatives succeeded in attaching several initiatives to an education funding bill, including an end to guaranteed tenure for public school teachers.

Rep. Ed Trimmer, a Winfield Democrat who serves on the House Education Committee, said he’s concerned that conservatives will try to use the same tactic this year.

“We set the precedent last year to do it,” he said.

Republican Rep. John Bradford, of Lansing, said the turnover in the House since the November elections will make it easier to push further for a repeal of the Common Core education standards. Forty-four states have adopted the standards, which set benchmarks designed to raise reading and math skills, but critics say they usurp local school boards’ authority to design their own curriculums.

Heartland volunteer finds future career path in patient care

By Micki Chestnut United Way of Douglas County

When Matt Pfannenstiel hosted a yard sale to benefit Heartland Community Health Center last fall, he met a couple whose experience there summed up why he has volunteered at Heartland every week for the past year.

“They said it’s really saved their lives. They didn’t know how else to pay for care. They loved how the providers treated them, as a human, not just their problem,” Pfannenstiel said. “Heartland is really beneficial to the community, for people who are unable to pay for the high cost of medical treatment. It was really cool to know I was part of that organization.”

Matt Pfannenstiel This Kansas University sophomore and 2013 Free State High School graduate volunteers at Heartland every Friday afternoon, doing things like organizing medical records and calling patients to remind them of their appointments. As he

gains an invaluable inside look at the way medical care is delivered in our community, it’s having a profound impact on his career plans.

Pfannenstiel, who is pursuing a bachelor’s degree in behavioral neuroscience at KU, plans to apply to the KU School of Medicine with the goal of becoming a psychiatrist or neurologist. (His mother, Kelly Calvert, is human resources director for The World Company, which owns the JournalWorld.) As a physician, he wants to embrace the holistic approach to healing he’s witnessed at Heartland.

is, going through their checklist,” Pfannenstiel said. “At Heartland, they try to figure out what’s wrong with you medically, but also focus on how they can help you emotionally with these medical problems. It’s influenced me to not just improve people’s bodies, but to also improve their lives as well.”

Pfannenstiel is one of 50 people who volunteer at Heartland every month, according to Rachel Hartford, director of community relations for Heartland. Many of those who volunteer in the medical clinic are premed students like Pfannenstiel, and they have the opportunity to assist the medical and administrative staff.

Merc’s phase II expansion to last into April I

ncreasing competition in Lawrence’s natural grocery market has us all reacting in different ways.

I’m undergoing training to make sure I don’t accidentally end up at a sample station for tofu bacon. The Merc, the city’s longest running natural grocery store is preparing a bit differently. It is undertaking its second major renovation in the last year.

The Merc, 901 Iowa St., began an approximately $320,000 renovation project this week that is expected to last into April. The store remains open during the project, and much of the work will be done at night after the store has closed for the day.

Among the planned upgrades: l Wider aisles and new interior signage. l Improved energy efficient LED lighting in the store and in the parking lot. l A reorganized and updated meat and seafood department. l Relocation and expansion of the bulk foods section. l An expansion and relocation of the Main Street Credit Union branch that is located

inside the store. l Energy efficiency upgrades to the store’s heating and cooling systems. l An updated community classroom area.

The latest project comes on the heels of a $500,000 renovation The Merc undertook in late 2014. That project included improvements to the coffee and juice bars, check-out lanes and other areas of the store. Store leaders had said at the time that they planned to do a phase II renovation.

The renovation work comes as a new competitor is set to enter the market. As we previously have reported, Sprouts is set to open its Lawrence store near Wakarusa and Overland drives in the second quarter of this year.

There certainly has been speculation that

another natural grocery chain is eyeing Lawrence. The development group for a proposed retail area south of the SLT and Iowa street interchange has said a specialty grocer would like to be part of that project. It is far from certain whether that retail development will ever get off the ground, but it may be that the specialty chain still has an interest in Lawrence regardless.

There’s been no official word on which company is interested in the market. Whole Foods always gets thought of, but I’ve heard some talk of a different chain — The Fresh Market, which has expanded into Kansas with stores in Overland Park and Wichita. l l l

Eons ago when I was in college, taco night meant 33 cent tacos at the Taco Tico. You would put $10 on the counter, your belt on the table, and settle in for a couple of hours of gastronomical delight.

But that doesn’t appear to be the college taco scene anymore, and we all may get to check it out for ourselves soon

enough. The Taco Zone, a business that got its start serving upscale late-night tacos in Lawrence bars, has inked a deal to open a downtown restaurant of its own.

Documents filed at City Hall show that the Taco Zone has filed plans to remodel a vacant storefront at 13 E. Eighth St. to accommodate a new restaurant.

The location is a couple doors down from the Sandbar and is in what used to be an e-cigarette shop.

“It is definitely going to be a regular brickand-mortar store,” said Brad Shanks, who coowns the business with his brother in-law Brian Ayers. “It will allow us to expand our menu a bit.”

Shanks said he expects the restaurant to open in early spring, but was shy about sharing other details for the business’ plans at the moment.

Taco Zone got started by serving tacos on the patio of the Replay Lounge in downtown Lawrence. Shanks said the plan is for the Taco Zone to continue serving at the Replay, but the Eighth Street restaurant will broaden its market.

“I think because of parental involvement, teacher dissatisfaction, a multitude of other things, we will evolve Common Core into something that is compatible if we don’t eliminate it outright,” Bradford said.

Sen. Steve Abrams, an Arkansas City Republican who chairs a Senate committee considering a Common Core repeal bill, said he would wait to schedule hearings on it until he senses that the House would be likely to pass it.

Republican Gov. Sam Brownback has also proposed repealing Kansas’ school funding formula and replacing it with block grants to each school district. This came after a panel of three district judges ruled December that the state needs to spend at least $548 million more to fund schools at a constitutionally appropriate level under the formula.

Mike O’Neal, president of the Kansas Chamber of Commerce, said he supports the move and would

work at Overbrook Quarry in Osage County, an 80-acre site mined for 30 years. The department gives the award to a company “that demonstrated excellence in implementing mined land reclamation and conveying a positive image of mining in Kansas.” John Strome, general manager for Hamm Inc., said, “The landowner requested the property be returned to hay and livestock production, recreation and wildlife habitat. We made sure the slopes were gradual enough for hay production and even built fencing for three separate pastures.”

like to see the governor take it further. The Kansas Chamber of Commerce is the state’s largest business group and has been a major backer of conservative candidates.

O’Neal said he would like to see the state move to a funding model for public schools in which districts would have to compete for specific grants and potentially make structural changes in order to receive the funds.

“I don’t want to set up any schools for failure, but we need to change the mentality of, if they don’t get good results, ‘Well it was probably because we didn’t get enough money,’” O’Neal said.

Republican Sen. Julia Lynn, of Olathe, said the Senate Commerce Committee, which she chairs, would be seeking ways to build ties between prospective employers and educational institutions, and to include more vocational training in public schools during this legislative session.

“This budget will give us the opportunity to look at structurally how we do K-12, college and community college education. We can focus on how to pro-

Other measures before the Legislature would drastically narrow negotiations between teachers and school boards and allow parents to sue educators for exposing students to material deemed to be “harmful to minors.”

Democrat Anthony Hensley, a high school teacher from Topeka who is the Senate’s minority leader, said he opposes the conservative measures and called Republican lawmakers and Kansas Chamber of Commerce “out of touch” on education.

“It’s probably been a long, long time since many legislators have been in a classroom to know what’s going on there,” Hensley said.

Kurds struggle for independence

EDITORIALS

Good job?

Recent actions can’t be helping the morale of state employees in Kansas.

I

f Kansas state employees weren’t feeling unappreciated before, Gov. Sam Brownback has given them several more reasons to be concerned about the security of their jobs and their retirement.

First came the governor’s decision to use $58 million that was supposed to go into the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System to pay other state expenses for the current fiscal year. That set back the schedule for making the KPERS fund solvent again, so the governor decided to pursue the risky strategy of selling $1.5 billion in pension bonds so the state could invest that money and hope it earns more revenue than the state pays out in interest on the bonds.

State employees will be the winners or losers.

Then, on Tuesday, Brownback decided to rescind a 2007 executive order that protected state employees from harassment and discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender equality.

Lesbians, gays, bisexual and transgendered individuals shouldn’t have that special protection, he said, unless the Kansas Legislature specifically gives it back to them.

While other states are extending rights to this population, Kansas is cutting them back. What is the problem Brownback is trying to solve? Why now?

Is he trying to impress a certain political audience or is he just promoting his own narrow ideology? Either way, his move sends an unsettling message to current, as well as prospective, LGBT employees. Some observers say Brownback’s action may have a negative impact not only among state employees but among private businesses seeking locations that welcome a diverse group of workers.

The next day, in timing they claimed was only coincidental, Kansas Department of Administration officials announced a whole package of changes to the state’s personnel policies. Among other changes, the new policies endanger longevity bonuses for classified employees, place new restrictions on the state’s shared leave policy, and reduce employees’ options to appeal job evaluations they think are unfair.

The policy also gives state agencies broad authority to hire employees into unclassified positions rather than maintain those positions as part of the classified civil service system. Unclassified employees have fewer job protections and can be fired at will. The shift of employees from classified to unclassified positions already has occurred in several Kansas departments, which eliminated classified positions and forced the employees who held those jobs to shift to unclassified status.

Eliminating unclassified jobs may make it easier to get rid of some substandard employees but it also makes it easier for politically appointed bosses to get rid of good, long-term employees who don’t sufficiently toe their ideological line. The bosses then can fill those positions with employees — perhaps friends or political supporters — who are outside the civil service system and may or may not be well qualified for the jobs.

State employees have received low or no salary increases for a number of years. Now the state is adding less job security and an uncertain retirement system to the deal. How can the state hope to hire top talent with such an unattractive package?

Kirkuk, Iraq — From the roof of his office, Gov. Najmaldin Karim can see this multiethnic city laid out below. He points toward the Sunni suburb of Huwija about 15 miles west, which is controlled by the Islamic State.

Two weeks ago, the extremists staged a ferocious assault there that almost broke through the defense lines.

“ISIS has its eyes on Kirkuk.

It is the big prize for them,” says Karim, using the term for the enemy that’s common here. This very morning, a gray day when poor visibility favored the attackers, ISIS launched an artillery and mortar strike in a Sunni suburb called Daquq, south of the city. Coalition airstrikes have pounded ISIS targets here twice this week.

Kirkuk sits uneasily on the fault line between Kurdistan to the east, the Shiiteled Baghdad government to the south, and Sunni regions to the west. Karim is a Kurd himself, and a member of one of its big political parties, the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan.

But “as governor, I’m governor of everybody,” he insists.

Kirkuk illustrates the dilemmas facing the Kurdish regional government in Irbil, about an hour’s drive north.

The Kurds regard Kirkuk as part of their ancestral homeland, and the Iraqi constitution calls for a referendum in which the city’s Kurdish majority could vote to leave the orbit of Baghdad and become part of Kurdistan.

But can the Kurds swal-

“

Kurdistan’s problems are manageable, if leaders take them seriously.

The danger is that corruption and political tension could weaken the foundations of the Kurdish region, just as they have the rest of Iraq.” low Kirkuk without choking on the other groups that live here? Karim reckons that Kurds make up a little over 50 percent of the Kirkuk population, while Sunnis account for 32 percent to 35 percent and Turkmen have 13 percent to 14 percent. It’s a microcosm of the larger Iraqi ethnic puzzle.

For now, the common enemy of ISIS seems to be bringing Iraqis together here. The Kurdish peshmerga, rings the city and provides the most important security force. But inside the city, security is managed by a local police force that Karim says is roughly 39 percent Arab, 36 percent

Kurd and 26 percent Turkmen. “If they say it’s only the Kurds who are keeping order in the city, that’s not true,” argues Karim.

Karim says he favors a special status for Kirkuk within Kurdistan, like what Quebec has in Canada. But Falah Mustafa Bakir, Kurdistan’s minister for foreign affairs, rejects this formula. “We have waited too long,” he says in an interview in his office in Irbil.

“We don’t want to continue with transition and delay.”

Kirkuk is just one of the question marks for a Kurdistan that, in many ways, has been the great Iraqi success story. The region has security, jobs and most of all, the dynamism of a homogenous population where nearly everyone shares the same dream of eventual Kurdish independence.

But Kurdistan also has some mundane problems, starting with corruption. The country is run by traditional political parties dominated by the Barzani and Talabani clans, who have historically controlled the Kurdish Democratic Party and the PUK, respectively. Having the right connections, and greasing them with some cash, has become a way of life here.

It’s “absolutely right” that Kurdistan has been weakened by corruption, concedes Masrour Barzani, the chief of the regional security council who oversees all intelligence activities. “We don’t claim perfection,” agrees Bakir, but he argues that corruption in

Kurdistan is far less than the circus of thievery in Baghdad.

The ruling KDP government gave a smaller reform party known as “Change” control of the finance ministry and oversight of the peshmerga.

But when asked if these reforms have removed payoffs and nepotism, a prominent local businessman just rolls his eyes.

Even the Kurds’ beloved peshmerga had its troubles in the first days of the war against ISIS last August.

“The pesh had been dormant for a long time,” explains Barzani. Some inexperienced commanders buckled, and grizzled veterans had to be mobilized. Since August, they’ve lost more than 1,000 killed in action and over 4,500 wounded. The Kurds still want their own country someday (leaders talk of a confederation within the next decade) but for now they are still Iraqis.

Kurdistan’s problems are manageable, if leaders take them seriously. The danger is that corruption and political tension could weaken the foundations of the Kurdish region, just as they have the rest of Iraq. For now, the Kurds maintain the strongest platform in the region — and they’ve done the best job in battling the ISIS extremists.

But nothing lasts forever.

Kurdistan must solve the problems of success as well as it did those of centuries of isolation and betrayal.

Lawrence police this week issued the first citation in the years city’s new noise ago ordinance. Derek IN 1990 Bridges, 21, president of Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity, was the first person cited in connection with the new ordinance, which had gone into effect two days earlier. Police spokesperson Chris Mulvenon said officers had been called to the fraternity house about 12:15 a.m. today after a caller had complained about loud party noise. Police had asked the president of the house to control the noise level; when the request was refused, police had cited the president and broken up the party.

PUBLIC FORUM

Civil service To the editor: I found myself horrified, but not surprised, by the announcement in Thursday’s Journal-World that our secretary of Administration is preparing to “streamline” civil service protections in order to bring them in line with those of the private sectors.

To my knowledge, the civil service first emerged in Korea as a means of employing competent people who could run an empire. Corruption in the ranks is recognized when the civil service selection and job execution is blocked due to political meddling. The key to the idea is that people can do their jobs, do them well, and not be subject to politics outside the office. For large portions of the population, this describes the sort of job they’d prefer to have, and increasingly civil service jobs are the only place where you can find these conditions.

Once “streamlined” to resemble the private sector, there is no reason someone smart or competent would ever want such a job in Kansas.

The reason presidents and governors talk about the middle class so much is that it is both the reflection and cause of a strong economy: They can buy quality goods and small luxuries that drive oth-

er well-paid jobs. The middle class depends on jobs that are relatively well-paid, and free of politics, with overtime and workplace protections to let them do their job. An administration should never aspire to being like Walmart in its workplace policies.

Zachary Thorp, Lawrence

Secret support To the editor: The recent drive by the Legislature to limit bargaining by teachers seems on a fast track to approval. There were two proposals submitted: one approved and provided by groups of educators, administrators and the Kansas Association of School Boards; the other by Dave Trabert, president of Kansas Policy Institute, not an elected official or school official or teacher.

Trabert has said, in a Journal-World online discussion, that his proposal, which essentially limits bargaining to wages and hours, is endorsed by “superintendents and education groups.” Under questioning, he has repeatedly refused to name the groups that supported his proposal. That proposal seems, from news reports, to be the frontrunner in the House Education Committee.

Those are the facts. The issue is that, again, KPI has placed in play a proposed legislative issue that will affect thousands of teachers each year, has gained favor for its proposal in the Legislature, and all without disclosing who supports it. This leads to a question: “Why is it so important that the Legislature, a public body, make decisions on sweeping legislation such as this without disclosure as to who actually wants it?”

As Kansans, we must, in my opinion, demand openness, truthfulness and honesty of our legislators. Their accepting a proposed statute change from unknown persons or organizations smacks of secrecy and the kind of backroom tactics that can never bode well for the residents of our state, no matter of what political bent.

Greg Cooper, Lawrence

Three members of the Kansas Legislature visited Kansas years University this ago week to inspect IN 1975 problem areas where repairs had been delayed due to budget cuts. The subcommittee of the Kansas House Ways and Means Committee, toured KU and examined trouble spots such as the leaking roof in Robinson Gymnasium, the cramped quarters of the Women’s Athletic Department in Allen Fieldhouse, and the overworked computer facilities in Summerfield Hall. Appropriations to repair these problems, requested by KU, had been cut back or eliminated by the regents or Gov. Robert Bennett in his budget recommendations.

KU officials were hoping he Ways and Means Committee would reinstate the items in its budget.

County Attorney J. S. Amick is looking after this matter and has it before the department at the present time. He went to Topeka today to investigate certain matters in regard to the construction of the bridge with the State Utilities Commission.”

to a soft cloth and work into leather using gentle circular motions. Always test any product first before proceeding.

Step 3: Semi-aniline leather is natural leather that has been treated with a protective coating, including light pigments, oils, waxes and urethanes. Water is much slower to absorb into these leathers. The coating helps maintain the leather’s natural oils. Clean semi-aniline leather with a damp cloth when necessary.

Avoid soaps, chemicals and heavy oils. Choose water- or alcohol-based products to protect and rejuvenate worn or damaged leather.

Step 4: Pigmented, painted or top coated leather is commonly used for furniture and

automobile upholstery. This leather has a uniform appearance and is sealed for durability. Durable leathers are best maintained by wiping clean with a damp, lint-free cloth. For heavier dirt removal and long-term rejuvenation, choose a water-based cleaner and conditioner specifically designed for leather furniture. Avoid waxes, oils and soaps.

Test the product in an inconspicuous area and avoid scrubbing.

Step 5: Oiled and waxed leathers are used for boots, purses, belts and saddles. The finish protects the leather from water and mild chemicals.

Over time these coatings need to be reapplied. Use an alcohol-based cleaner to remove the old finish.

Allow the leather to dry completely. Reapply a product that is similar to the original finish. Avoid products that sit on top of the leather and clog the pours. Work products into the leather for a deep and durable finish.

hen it comes to caring for leather, knowing what type of leather you have is imperative for proper maintenance.

Step 1: When possible, refer to the manufacturer for instructions on care and maintenance of any leather product. Otherwise, a little investigative work and some trial and error testing can determine the right course of action.

Step 2: Aniline leathers are soft, natural and unprotected leathers.

They scratch easily, absorb water and display imperfections and markings. These non-pigmented leathers are prone to fading and should be kept away from sunlight and heat sources. Wipe aniline leathers clean with a dry, lint-free cloth on a regular basis. Blot spills away as soon as possible. A lightly damp cloth can be used for cleaning when necessary.

Allow the leather to dry naturally. Avoid cleaners, oils and other commercial products. Choose a water-based conditioner made specifically for non-pigmented leather.

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Greene’s toughness too often overlooked Morgantown, W.Va. — Toughness, the No. 1 word uttered by 21st-century college basketball coaches, typically evokes images of a guy taking a charge, rebounding in traffic, successfully finishing a drive while getting hammered and then knocking down the free throw.

Depending on your role, toughness can take on different meanings. If your role is to stretch the defense by shooting so well from long distance that the defense can’t ever lose track Greene of you, then toughness can mean hitting shots in big spots. Kansas University sophomore Brannen Greene does that with regularity, which makes him underrated in the toughness department.

Greene’s focus can drift in and out as a defensive rebounder. It’s getting better, but still isn’t where it needs to be for him to take advantage of his 6-foot-7, 215-pound frame. His focus finding the open spot on the floor, based on the location of the ball and defenders, never drifts. His focus on catching the ball shoulders squared to the hoop, eyes locked on the rim, never wanders.

As well as Greene has shot from long range without teammates looking for him all that often, it stands to reason he’ll shoot even better when they seek him out more regularly.

He ranks tied for sixth in the nation with a 50 percent three-point accuracy rate, second to Ohio State’s Marc Loving (.525) among top 25 schools. In conference games alone, Greene has made .568 from three, best in the Big 12, despite making just 1 of 5 threes in the comeback victory in Allen Fieldhouse vs.

Baylor.

In the previous four games, Greene nailed an amazing 17 of 24 threepointers.

He’ll test his three-point touch in a tough environment tonight against a West Virginia team that applies serious defensive pressure and a crowd intent on rattling the visitors.

Greene’s not the first name that comes to mind

KANSAS UNIVERSITY’S PERRY ELLIS DEFENDS as West Virginia guard Juwan Staten puts up a shot on Feb. 8, 2014 in Allen Fieldhouse. The Jayhawks will be in Morgantown, West Virginia, tonight to face the Mountaineers.

Staten, Mountaineers await Jayhawks

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Morgantown, W.Va. — West Virginia senior point guard Juwan Staten had a rather subdued reaction last October when told he’d been voted 2014-2015 Big 12 Preseason Player of the Year. “Thank God. I’m blessed.

That was it,� Staten, a 6-foot1, 190-pounder from Dayton,

Ohio told the Journal-World. “I like to stay on an even keel. You are never as good as they say you are and never quite as bad as they think. I’m going to work hard, regardless of what is said,� Staten added.

A strong candidate for first-team all-Big 12 for the second straight season, Staten enters tonight’s KansasWest Virginia game (8 p.m.,

Central time, WVU Coliseum) somewhat of a longshot to claim the postseason Player of the Year award.

He’s fifth in the league in scoring (team-leading 14.3 ppg off 41.5 percent shooting) and second in assists (4.6). In league-only games, he ranks 12th in scoring (12.2 ppg) while remaining second in assists (5.0). “It (preseason honor) has

definitely brought a bigger target. It’s made me work a lot harder,� Staten told WVUsports.com. “I realize teams are coming at me harder. It’s made me prepare a lot more than I had to in the past.�

Staten’s role has changed a bit in his senior season for the Mountaineers (19-6, 7-5).

Beaty refines KU recruiting pitch

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo

KANSAS UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL COACH DAVID BEATY talks with media members Please see KEEGAN, page 3B about his committed recruits on signing day Wednesday.

It may be just a subtle shift, but the focus of Kansas University football recruiting appears to have changed.

During the past five years, previous KU coaching staffs leaned on immediate playing time as their main selling point to entice recruits to sign with Kansas.

Not David Beaty.

Sure, the chance to play right away for a team in desperate need of quality depth and additional talent was part of his pitch. But Beaty, who officially was hired on Dec. 5 and had just six weeks to put together his first recruiting class, zeroed in on an aspect of football that’s been tough to come

by around here since Mark Mangino and Todd Reesing left town. “One of the things we talked about is, this is going to be fun,� said Beaty with eyebrows raised and a half smile highlighting his face. “Football is too hard not to be a little bit fun. We’re going to be an up-tempo, highflying, throwing-that-ballaround offense. It’s going to be exciting to play in, an explosive attack.�

And that’s not just on offense either. “Same thing defensively,�

Beaty said. “We’re going to be a high-pressure, get-after-you, get-up-field, try-tocreate-turnovers (defense).

Those are things that we want to play in.�

“He’s not playing the minutes he did a year ago (30.9 compared to 37.3) ,” coach Bob Huggins told WVUsports.com.

“He doesn’t have the ball in his hands as much as he had it a year ago. He has it in his hands when we need a basket obviously.

He’s gone out of his way to share the ball, gone out of his way to get other people involved. He is playing much harder on the defensive end, even though he was first-team all-Big 12 defensive team a year ago. He’s playing harder. He’s more mature.”

Staten — he averaged 18.1 ppg as a junior — hit 14 of 20 free throws and scored 24 points with nine assists in West Virginia’s 92-86 win over KU last season in Morgantown and scored 22 points with four assists in WVU’s 83-69 loss to KU in Lawrence. Andrew Wiggins exploded for 41 points in the game in Morgantown.

“We came to play, had a great game plan, had a great crowd behind us,” Staten said of the home win versus KU. He has a healthy dose of respect for the Jayhawk players, most notably, “Perry Ellis. He just gets it done. He’s not playing for the crowd or playing for himself. He just goes out every day and gets it done,” Staten said.

KU coach Bill Self, whose team enters 21-4 overall and 10-2 in the league, has similar respect for Staten.

“He killed us last year,” Self said. “We couldn’t keep him in front of us.

He’s fast, gets to the paint whenever he wants to.

He’s tough. He’s a terrific guard. He was fabulous against us in Morgantown and played well against us at our place, too. You talk point guards, he’s definitely underrated (nationally). He didn’t get the national respect he deserved last year.”

Staten toyed with the idea of entering the NBA Draft after his stellar junior campaign.

“My goal is to be the first point guard taken in the draft. I made that a goal after the season last year because I didn’t know if I wanted to leave or return,” Staten told the J-W. “After talking to my family and coach ... we looked at the players who were leaving and the players who were returning and figured if I’m going to be here another year, I need to make a great goal.”

The former University of Dayton player, who has played three seasons at West Virginia, says

he’s learned a lot from demanding coach Huggins.

“He’s loud on the court. Off the court he’s completely different. He helped me mature, helped me approach the game differently, with a different attitude,” Staten said.

“He’s helped me grow up and become a man.

“It takes a special guy to play for him,” Staten added, reminded that several Mountaineers have transferred since he’s been at WVU. “He critiques you. He’s a perfectionist. He’s always striving toward being as perfect as possible.

With that, sometimes he gets frustrated at you.

Sometimes he yells at you. If you stick with it, he’ll bring the best out of you.”

Asked why some have

not been able to handle the criticism and departed Morgantown, Staten said: “I can’t speak for them. They left and I’m here. I guess it’s not for everyone. That doesn’t mean it’s not special.”

Staten is hoping all his hard work will pay off with his first appearance in the NCAA Tournament. West Virginia appears a lock to make the NCAAs. “That’s my biggest goal.

Since I’ve been in college I haven’t been able to play in the tournament. At Dayton we didn’t make it,” Staten said. “The year I came here, when I had to sit out, we made it. The years I played we didn’t.

That’s weighed on me a little bit. I’m definitely looking forward to making it to the tournament

ings, but he actually has been among the team’s best road performers.

In eight true road games, Greene has averaged 9.4 points in 18.5 minutes and has made 17 of 24 (.708) three-point

shots and 14 of 16 free throws. Not surprisingly, Frank Mason has been the team’s best road performer, averaging 14.3 points, shooting .506 overall, .500 from the three), except at the free-throw line (.565).

this year. That’s been a reason we play as hard as we play. It’s something we’re trying to make happen.”

A win tonight would certainly help the Mountaineers’ cause.

“I think they’ve had a great year. Huggs has them playing very hard,” said Self. “They’ll press missed free throw, trap first pass. It’ll be an unconventional game like Missouri played when Mike (Anderson) was there. They do even more pressing than that.

“We have to meet every pass,” Self added, “because what West Virginia does better than everybody in America is turn you over and turn points into turnovers.

We’ll have to do as good of a job as we’ve done all year attacking pressure, taking care of the ball and not having live ball turnovers.”

West Virginia has committed 324 turnovers this season while forcing 533.

In Big 12 play, the Mountaineers have committed 167 and forced 234.

“We’ve got two really good point guards. We know we have to be aggressive and attack,” said KU sophomore Wayne Selden Jr. “Just be aggressive and try to attack it.”

“We have to get after the ball from the jump, from the get-go,” said freshman forward Cliff Alexander. “We’ve been working on that, hit the closest man to the nearest outlet to get the ball up the court, push the ball down the floor, don’t let them slow us down.” l This, that: West Virginia has lost three of four games following Saturday’s 79-59 setback to Iowa State in Ames.

Staten scored 16 points off 6-of-11 shooting and dished seven assists versus two turnovers in 34 minutes. No other Mountaineer player was in double figures.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL COACH David Beaty waves as he is introduced to the crowd Dec. 5 at Allen Fieldhouse.

Football CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

That’s not to say any of it will be easy. By all accounts, both from current players and those who played for him in the past, new KU strength coach Je’Ney Jackson will be testing the Jayhawks in ways they did not know was possible during the coming months.

And Beaty, whose Texas twang and energetic personality cause him to come off as one of those good ol’ boys, also knows how to get down to business when the time calls for it.

“What I do in the weight room has to mirror what they want to do on the field,” Jackson said last month. “If we’re going to go fast, I can’t have them moving slow in the weight room. They have to get used to being at a high tempo.”

Beaty admitted that the opportunity to make an immediate impact on a program in the Big 12 Conference was important to several of the guys he and his staff went after on the recruiting trail.

That was especially true of the guys from Texas.

But while that chance may have been the thing that inspired the prospects to open the door or answer the call, it was what came after it that convinced many of them to sign with the Jayhawks on national signing day earlier this month.

“When those guys in that room sit (in front of those recruits) and they talk, I was in awe,” said Beaty of his coaching staff. “When they talked about their systems, how they were going to bring those systems to KU, what their visions were; Too often, it seems, man, I was ready to sign. this Kansas team settles Those guys did a great for three-point jumpers. job. Part of that vision is But in the case of Greene, (a recruit) being able to it’s not settling. The see it. They were able to more open threes teampaint it for them.” mates can deliver to him, Walk-ons rising the better for Kansas.

While Beaty’s first

KU baseball swept by LSU Baton Rouge, La. — No. 2-ranked LSU completed a sweep of the Kansas University baseball team, dealing the Jayhawks a 7-4 loss Sunday at Alex Box Stadium.

The Jayhawks jumped out to a 3-1 lead after four innings, but the Tigers tied it in the fifth and took the lead with a four-run sixth.

Senior Blair Beck collected two of the Jayhawks’ three hits, and belted his first home run of the season with a solo shot in the fourth inning.

“I came into the dugout and got ready and (assistant coach) Ritchie

Price told me, ‘have a good at-bat right here,’ and that was all I was really thinking about,” Beck said.

“They command the zone really well and don’t give you much to hit, but I got a pitch I could handle and got lucky.”

After giving up a run in the first, KU starting pitcher Sean Rackoski kept LSU’s offense in check until running into trouble in the fifth. Junior Sam Gilbert came on in relief of Rackoski, but could not tame the Tigers, giving up four runs in 1 1/3 innings.

HR — Blair Beck, KU.

class of scholarship players included just 24 new Jayhawks, the list of high school athletes interested in giving it a go in Lawrence was nearly twice as large as that number. Because of that, Beaty was able to encourage several of those uncommitted guys — particularly the in-state guys — to commit to Kansas as preferred walk-ons.

Back in December, when Beaty first met with the local media and talked about his plans for Kansas, developing a strong walk-on program was something he emphasized. In the weeks that followed, rather than focusing solely on the open spots in the signing class, Beaty continued to mine KU’s recruiting hubs for untapped potential and came away pretty pleased with what he found.

“It’s coming along great,” Beaty said of the walk-on program. “That’s a real advantage for guys that might be just a hair off of what they want to be to be a Division I player. Like I said before, there’s more than 25 guys in the state of Kansas and throughout the country that want to come to Kansas and play Division I football. We have an opportunity that’s a little bit unique right now that some people look at as a disadvantage. I look at it as an opportunity for some guys. I can’t speak about anyone or anything other than the guys that we signed, but I’m very pleased with the progress of that program.”

Beaty and the rest of the KU coaching staff are not allowed to talk about any unsigned players until they are enrolled on campus. Because of that, it’s hard to know exactly who the future walk-ons will be until they are on the roster and working with the team. Even then, their spot is not set in stone, as several former walk-ons have been added to or dropped from the roster throughout the spring, summer and fall.

WISCONSIN’S BRONSON KOENIG, RIGHT, celebrates with teammate Sam Dekker after hitting a three-pointer against Illinois on Sunday in Madison, Wisconsin.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

Wisconsin wallops Illinois, 68-49 The Associated Press

Top 25 Men No. 5 Wisconsin 68, Illinois 49 Madison, Wis. — Frank Kaminsky started hot for Wisconsin, then Bronson Koenig and Nigel Hayes finished off Illinois.

Kaminsky had 23 points and 11 rebounds, and the fifth-ranked Badgers won on Sunday to clinch the best start in school history.

Kaminsky hit eight of his first nine shots on his way to 17 first-half points, but was then held scoreless for more than 16 minutes. But Koenig and Hayes combined to score 23 points in the second half as Wisconsin (23-2, 11-1 Big Ten) put the game away.

“Our guys really don’t go out there and say, ‘OK, let’s make sure Frank gets his X number of points and then we’ll go get ours,’” coach Bo Ryan said. “We took what they gave us. That’s all we ever do.”

Koenig finished with 15 points, and Hayes added 14.

Illinois (17-9, 7-6) started the game hot, and four 3-pointers in just more than three minutes infuriated Ryan. Wisconsin responded by clamping down on defense.

The Illini then missed seven of their last eight shots in the half, and the Badgers sandwiched a 20-4 run around halftime.

Illinois got no closer than nine points the rest of the way.

“It just goes to show you that we can beat you in a lot of different ways,” Kaminsky said.

Dear Annie: Can you tell me whether this is a scam? Dentists are now telling seniors that their old fillings need to be replaced. My dentist told me this, and I’ve never had a bit of trouble with my fillings or teeth. I was also told that I need additional, costly work done when I haven’t had a bit of trouble with the tooth in question.

When I declined, I was told that when I do have trouble, they may not be able to help me.

Now my daughter, 55, is being told the same thing, although her teeth haven’t given her any trouble. What do you say about this?

— Ventura, Calif.

Dear VC: We spoke to Dr. Maria Lopez Howell at the American Dental Association.

Here is what she said: “The recommendation to replace exist-

ing dental fillings is not based on a person’s age.

No filling lasts forever, and the older the filling the more likely it is to show signs of wear and tear. Just because the tooth isn’t bothering you now doesn’t mean there isn’t a problem coming down the road.

“Regular dental visits are important to minimize the need for more extensive and, most likely, expensive procedures. Although you may not be able to tell wheth-

Grammys, CBS salute Wonder Genius tends to transcend eras. Some artists define and stand for a particular time, while others simply endure, reaching across generations.

“Stevie Wonder: Songs in the Key of Life: An All-Star Grammy Salute” (8 p.m., CBS) speaks to the latter.

Last year, CBS aired a salute to the surviving Beatles, marking the 50th anniversary of their appearance on “The Ed Sullivan Show,” and this special has a similar vibe.

L o o k for artists including Babyface, The Band P e r r y , Tony Bennett, Beyonce, Andrea Bocelli, Gary Clark Jr., Ariana Grande, Jennifer Hudson, India.

Arie, Lady Gaga, John Legend, Annie Lennox, Janelle Monae, Ne-Yo, Jill Scott, Ed Sheeran, Ryan Tedder and Pharrell Williams. LL Cool J hosts.

Though Wonder has continued to perform and record, the title of this salute pretty much intimates that his classic body of work is 40 years behind us. A winner of 25 Grammy Awards, Wonder is the only artist to have received Album of the Year honors three out of four consecutive years: “Innervisions” (1973), “Fulfillingness’ First Finale” (1974) and “Songs in the Key of Life” (1976).

er your fillings need to be replaced, your dentist will check to see if the filling is sealed to the tooth. Fillings that have worn away, chipped or cracked may leave gaps through which bacteria can enter.

“When your dentist recommends treatment, feel free to ask ‘why.’ If you still feel uncomfortable with the treatment recommendations, don’t hesitate to get a second opinion.”

Dear Annie My daughter-in-law is mean to my husband and me.

She avoids talking to us and only includes us in family events if she has to. She only wants to do things with her friends and her family.

My son says we need to “get on their schedule” way in advance, yet they are always booked up when we ask. Once or twice a year, our son

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Monday, Feb. 16: This year you develop a strong drive to fulfill a long-term goal.

If you remain focused and can endure some ups and downs, you are likely to get to that desired point. You enjoy downtime away from people, as your life tends to be somewhat hectic. If you are single, you could meet someone very special. If you are attached, you could seem more distant to your sweetie than you have in past years.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) You know what you need to accomplish, and despite a distraction or two, you will do just that. Tonight: Break out of the mold.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Make the most of what appears to be a calm day. Catch up on calls. Tonight: Out till the wee hours.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You could get a brilliant idea later in the day. Pursue it, and see if it works out. Tonight: A partner is overly serious.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You might feel as if you do not have the capacity to cover all the bases. Tonight: Relax and visit with a loved one.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You have good intentions, and will dive right into tackling

She and my mother were both great ladies who treated everyone with love and respect.

I wish my daughterin-law would open her mind and her heart to the possibilities. — Sad Mother-in-Law Dear Sad: Your letter voices a common complaint. All we can advise is to do your best to be gracious with your daughter-in-law.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your imagination will help you clear away some bumps on the road of life. Tonight: Head home after you visit with a pal.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Be sure to establish boundaries if others are creating an uproar. Tonight: Act as if there were no tomorrow.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Return calls, initiate talks and answer emails as you try to schedule your week. Tonight: You need some time away from it all.
