UNCOMMON DEVOTION ROSALIE GERSTNER, OF NESS CITY, walks with grandson Brian Gerstner, of Baldwin City, to Allen Fieldhouse for the Feb. 15 KU game against Texas Christian University.

Gerstner used to drive the 300-mile trip from Ness City for home games, but now she rents an apartment in Lawrence during basketball season.

Retired KU fan winters in Lawrence to catch every bit of Jayhawk action doing,” she said of buying her season tickets after her husband died nine years ago. “I fully intend to do it, really, as long as my health holds out.”

Florida? Pshaw.

It’s got nothing on Lawrence’s retirement scene, where Gerstner’s between-games social calendar is packed with women’s basketball and volleyball games, KU Athletics events, Welcome Club gatherings, Road Runners Club events, tai chi, bridge, mahjong and coffee with new friends.

etiree Rosalie Gerstner doesn’t head south to escape the blustery western Kansas winter. She heads east — for Allen Fieldhouse.

For five years Gerstner made the 300-mile drive from her house in Ness City to nearly every Kansas University men’s basketball game, spending the night with her daughter in Ottawa or son in Baldwin City before hitting the road back home. Three years ago, she transitioned from basketball commuter to basketball snowbird.

Now, Gerstner, 80, rents an apartment from October to April and stays the whole winter. When the Jay-

Bill would allow increased sharing of homebrews

By Stephen Montemayor Twitter: @smontemayor

A bill that breezed through the Kansas House and is now about to be considered in the Senate would make it legal for homebrewers to share their craft with friends or competition judges instead LEGISLATURE of just their immediate family members. Which is good for homebrewer Sean Belden, because he’s eager for constructive criticism.

Edward was born April 22, 1920 in Grand Rapids, MI, the son of Andrew and Josephine (Lewenski) Erazmus.

He graduated in 1938 from Central Catholic High School in Grand Rapids, MI. In 1942, obtained a BA from Aquinas College, and his MA (1948) and PhD (1961) degrees from the University of Michigan.

He served in the Air Force during WWII from 1942-1946 as a radio operator. He was medically discharged in 1946 and returned to college to complete his graduate degrees on the GI bill.

He married Dorothy H. Rozek on May 2, 1953 in Grand Rapids, MI. She preceded him in death April 21, 2007.

In the early 1960s at age 40, Edward and Dorothy adopted 5 children (3 girls and 2 boys) during a time when interracial adoption was not common. He and his wife took in foster children and helped Vietnamese refugees who needed help upon their arrival to Lawrence, KS. Dr. Erazmus came to the University of Kansas in 1963 and established the Intensive English Center in 1964 (Director of IEC from 1964 - 1975; IEC became AEC in 1976), while dedicating much of his research to developing ways to explain concepts of anchorage and articulatory settings to learners of English.

Professor Erazmus spent his last 10 years at KU teaching graduatelevel seminars in the Linguistics Department and the School of Education.

He retired from KU in 1985 as an associate professor. To read a 2002 interview with Dr. Erazmus, go to: http://www.eslminiconf. net/april/erazmus.html He was a member of St. John the Evangelist

Catholic Church and the Knights of Columbus, and served as a Republican Committee member in the late 1990s for the Kanwaka Township in Douglas Co. Dr. Erazmus was passionate about his Linguistic research, his faith, his family, gardening, and helping those in need.

The bill’s journey through the legislature has been civil so far.

“I’m proud of the homebrewers who have done this in a very professional manner,” said Ted Nguyen, a longtime downtown business owner and member of the Lawrence Brewers Guild who plans to open Ted’s Tap House on Massachusetts Street in early March.

“The state and homebrewers have worked together for a good result and better understanding,” Nguyen said.

Phillip Bradley, a lobbyist for the Kansas Home Brewers Alliance, said he has yet to encounter vocal opposition to the bill. Earlier this month, it passed in the House with a 111-7 vote and no one spoke out

against it.

that fee altogether or at least reducing it. The Student Senate will take a final vote in March.

In 2013 students paid about $1.1 million to Kansas Athletics Inc., the operating arm of the athletics department. The department had nearly $93.7 million total revenue for the year.

The bulk of the department’s revenue comes from ticket sales, conference distributions, television rights and private donations. The university also pays a subsidy for some operating expenses, staffing and for Athletics Director Sheahon Zenger’s salary.

A Student Senate report outlining the history of the fees and the position of the authors states, “Of all the student groups and university organizations that Student Senate funds, Kansas Athletics is least in need of the funding they currently receive.”

The athletics department has said that the fees are necessary for complying with Title IX. “The fee is an important part of what helps us achieve equity and travel in women’s and nonrevenue sports,” said Jim Marchiony, an associate athletics director for Kansas Athletics Inc. Marchiony said the athletics department has no specific financial contingency plan if student fee revenues are eliminated. “Everything would be on the table,” he said.

This year’s students are not the first to challenge the fee. In 2009, a Senate committee considered cutting them, but opted against it for fear that then-Chancellor Robert Hemenway would veto any cuts.

The bill would allow homemade beer, wine or cider to be served to guests and judges so long as the brewer isn’t compensated.

The legislation is of particular interest in Lawrence, home to one of the state’s largest homebrewers guilds. Since the Lawrence Brewers Guild formed in 1995 with fewer than a dozen members, Belden said, it has grown to an average of 150 in recent years. Of that group, he said, three have “gone pro,” landing jobs at Boulevard Brewery in Kansas City, Mo., and 23rd Street Brewery in Lawrence.

“Having feedback is a critical component of that,” he said.

KU students have subsidized sports through fees for more than 30 years. It began as a way to help the university provide support for women’s athletics, which became a regulatory necessity under Title IX, a federal law protecting women’s equality in education.

Currently, all KU students pay a $25 fee each semester, $10 in the summer, to fund student athletes and travel in women’s sports and those sports that don’t generate their own revenue.

Audubon Society plans to track Rusty Blackbird

College savings, unwanted building, marriage at issue

Ropin’ rally

By Nikki Wentling nwentling@ljworld.com

Growing up on a farm in southeast Kansas inspired a lifelong interest in nature for Lawrence resident Gary Anderson.

About eight years ago, this interest, coupled with a desire to get outdoors more often, drove Anderson to the Jayhawk Audubon Society. Now he serves as president.

GOP seeks to repeal plan to match college savings Republicans on the House Appropriations Committee have voted to recommend repeal of the state match for a program where low-income Kansans invest in the state’s Learning Quest post-secondary education savings plan.

Under the incentive program, up to 1,200 qualifying Kansans can have a tax-free match of up to $600 per year for contributions they make to the savings plan for their child’s college.

“From my perspective, the matching grant program is not a core function of government, something we really can’t afford at this time, benefits only a few, and can actually hurt the very people it is intended to help,” said state Rep. Pete DeGraaf, R-Mulvane, who is pushing for the repeal.

DeGraaf said the savings can be used against a family’s efforts to receive low-interest federal loans for college.

Building no one wants The Kansas Department of Labor is seeking legislative permission to spend $115,000 to demolish an old house that the agency had used for offices just a few blocks from the Statehouse.

The structure — commonly known as the Department of Labor White House — was once an opulent home, built in 1880.

It features a wrap-around porch, but has fallen into disrepair and would cost more to bring into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act than it is worth, according to Labor Department officials.

The officials said they have twice put the building up for sale, but no one has expressed any interest.

The federal government says the property must be used if it is supported by federal funding. The $115,000 cost to raze the facility will be paid for with federal dollars and fee funds, officials said.

50 years,” Anderson said.

“I see this as an opportunity for our members to help out and learn about a bird we don’t know much about.”

The Jayhawk Audubon Society will participate in an international effort called the Spring Migration Blitz, which encourages birders to document the stopping locations of Rusty Blackbirds, or “Rusties,” from March to June as they fly northward from their winter habitat in the southeastern United States toward their breeding ground in Canada.

Volunteers in Kansas are asked to track Rusties in March and submit their findings to eBird, an online program that collects and organizes birdtracking observations. eBird, along with the International Rusty Blackbird Working Group and the Vermont Center for Ecostudies, organized the Spring Migration Blitz to gain information about Rusties that could help scientists pinpoint causes for their decline. This year’s effort is planned as the first of three consecu-

Cheaper to marry A proposal that would reduce the fee for a marriage license from $59 to $23.50 if the couple requesting the license completes a pre-marital counseling program is being pushed as a way to make stronger marriages.

“By giving incentive to pre-marital counseling, we have a chance to prevent the devastating effects of increased divorce in our society,” said state Rep. Kevin Jones, RWellsville, about House Bill 2330.

But Attorney General Derek Schmidt and the Kansas Coalition Against Sexual and Domestic Violence had some concerns with the measure because funding for crime victimsupport programs comes from a portion of marriage license fees.

Lawrence resident Valerie Arkell, an environmental scientist involved with the Jayhawk Audubon Society, is the Kansas blitz coordinator.

“The whole effort is to figure out where their migration stopovers are and what could be happening at those spots to be affecting them negatively,” Arkell said. “You can’t really do anything to help until you know.”

According to the International Rusty Blackbird Working Group, scientists have only recently become aware of problems with the bird’s population, which has fallen 85 to 95 percent since the mid 1900s. Experts estimate there are anywhere from 160,000 to 2 million Rusties left.

Though there is little certainty, experts have developed hypotheses for factors leading to the population decline, including the species’ lack of adaptability, the loss of wooded wetlands in their wintering grounds, increased competition for food and exposure to disease.

“They’re finding that this bird is very picky, so it’s having a hard time finding places to stay,” Arkell said. “They’re also saying things like

THE RUSTY BLACKBIRD GETS ITS NAME from its plumage, which is edged with a rusty brown color during the fall and early winter. In the spring and summer, male Rusties are glossy black and females are a silvery gray. Rusties have pale yellow eyes, and compared to other blackbirds, they are relatively thin. climate change might be a factor. Places they used to go are drying up, and that’s no longer going to be a habitat they want to go to.”

Arkell said Rusties prefer wet, swampy, hidden areas for foraging.

Around Lawrence, she said, the birds may flock to the Baker Wetlands, Perry Lake, Clinton Lake or Lonestar Lake.

Anderson and other members of the Jayhawk Audubon plan to visit these locations in early

March. The field trips will be open to the public at no cost.

Rusties get their name from their plumage, which is edged with a rusty brown color during the fall and early winter, according to the working group. However, the rusty color will be gone by the time they enter Kansas in March, and they will be mostly black, Arkell said.

In a statement issued over the weekend, the Johnson County Republican asked for forgiveness from anyone who was offended by the images.

“Several years ago I made some comments about these images that were insensitive to the seriousness of what the images revealed,” Wolf said. “Soon thereafter, I removed those images and comments, again several years ago. For them to be published in a much more public context now, by a political adversary who would rather declare war on doctors than answer serious questions that Kansans have, is truly sad.”

LE TUAN, 35, OF LAWRENCE, MAKES EXTREME CUSTOM PARTY BUSES FOR CUSTOMERS THAT range in price from $10,000 to $30,000. His buses contain anything and everything, including LED TVs and more. Tuan makes his creations in an old seed and grain warehouse in North Lawrence.

Business owner creates luxury, party buses

By Giles Bruce Twitter: @GilesBruce

In North Lawrence, in an old seed and grain warehouse, Le Tuan is building mobile man caves and video gaming buses.

It’s not a new business. The 35-year-old Lawrence man has been customizing party buses under the Extreme Bus Builders label for four years. But he doesn’t do retail sales, or advertise.

He rarely customizes for anyone in Lawrence (he did transform a couple of local farmers’ bus into a replica of a barn).

No, his business is done online, mostly with out-of-state customers who know what they want and are willing to pay for it. It allows Tuan to focus on the thing that really matters to him: souping up rides. He doesn’t waste time talking to walk-ins who may or may not buy something. When someone calls him on the phone nowadays, it’s pretty much a done deal already.

Ever since he was a kid growing up in Dodge City, where his parents had moved from China to work in the meat-packing industry, Tuan has been a builder. He would take apart toys. He would tinker with his mom’s Pontiac

“

I’ve always been interested in how things work. I’ve always been a manufacturer.”

— Le Tuan, owner of Extreme Bus Builders

Bonneville (something she would scold him for). “I’ve always been interested in how things work,” he said. “I’ve always been a manufacturer.”

As a teenager, Tuan was the guy with the cool, souped-up race car with the bumping stereo. Since people would always ask him how he did it, he eventually decided to turn his hobby into a business.

After moving to Lawrence 15 years ago while his wife attended Kansas University (the couple has two daughters, 15 and 5), he started a carcustomizing business, New Image Auto Salon.

It was around the time of the popular MTV show “Pimp My Ride,” where auto customizers would turn beaters into extravagant, plush parties on wheels, equipped with the latest in technology.

The business did well for a while, until, Tuan said, consumers increasingly started turning to the In-

ternet for their customizing needs.

One day, he went to a friend’s bachelor party that was supposed to be on a party bus. But then, a “raggedy old 1980s school bus” pulled up, Tuan said. “I refused to get on it. After that, I thought, ‘I’m going to build one for us.’”

He started out building them in his driveway but a few years later, in part to please his wife, he moved his operation into the warehouse in North Lawrence.

His market is aimed at a certain consumer: people with a lot of disposable income or highend party bus renters.

Tuan said many rental companies just use repurposed school buses with no amenities.

“I build limo buses, not booze buses,” he said.

Prices range anywhere from $10,000 on the low end to $30,000 on the fancier side. He also offers “party bus kits to go” for people who want to build their own.

Tuan has even created a pink bus, he said, for “gays and cougars.”

“In the Midwest, they’re not ready for this,” he said.

My bladder already is doing cartwheels. A new business is coming to downtown Lawrence, and it will bring with it 1,100 varieties of soda to Massachusetts Street.

Mass Street Soda plans to open by St. Patrick’s Day at 1103 Massachusetts St., the vacant storefront just south of Englewood Florist. Self-described “soda dorks” Matt Baysinger and Luke Thompson will open the business, and Baysinger told me the store really will stock about 1,100 varieties of soda.

Baysinger said the specialty soda business really has taken off as the craft brewing industry has exploded. He estimated that about 50 percent of the brands that the shop will carry are produced by companies that also brew beer.

He said small breweries have taken to brewing root beer so they have a product to offer children or others who don’t partake in alcohol. But he

Baysinger said he has never consumed alcohol, but has attended many parties where his friends would be drinking fancy craft beers. So, he decided he would start

Opinion

Lawrence Journal-World l LJWorld.com l Monday, February 24, 2014

EDITORIALS

Local votes It would be nice to have more voters in local city and school elections, but shifting those elections to November and making them partisan are bad ideas.

A

n effort to combine city and school board elections with other partisan races is another example of Kansas legislators trying to fix a problem that doesn’t exist.

Local school board and city council/ commission members currently are chosen in non-partisan elections in April during odd-numbered years. Legislation backed by the Kansas Republican Party is seeking to move those elections to November in even-numbered years and combine them with partisan elections for county, state and federal offices. School board and city candidates also would have to run partisan campaigns.

Kelly Arnold, chairman of the Kansas Republican Party, told the Senate Ethics and Elections Committee last week that the intent of the bill was to improve voter turnout for local elections, which traditionally draw fewer voters than elections for state and federal offices, especially in presidential election years.

Party leaders also argued that forcing candidates to have political party affiliations could result in additional support from party organizations and could provide some philosophical guidance to voters who didn’t know much about the candidates on the ballot.

It’s true that local elections attract a dismally small voter turnout, but at least most of the voters who turn out for those elections have some knowledge about the races and the candidates who are running.

If those elections are lumped in with state and federal races, it will be even harder than it is now for those candidates to get their message out to voters — unless, of course, party organizations pour large sums of money into those races.

As for the other part of the proposal, there is nothing to be gained by forcing city and school board candidates into a partisan stance that likely would encourage partisan divisions on the bodies to which they are elected. City and school officials should be elected to do what is best for their communities and the children in them, not pursue a state and national party agenda. It also was noted at last week’s hearing that military personnel and other federal employees would be barred from running for those offices if the elections were partisan.

During last week’s meeting, the Senate committee did some rewriting on the bill and wisely removed the provision making local elections partisan. Final action on the bill may be taken this week. Before then, legislators should take another look at the remaining provisions in the bill and ask what they really are trying to accomplish on behalf of the state. Local voters aren’t clamoring for a change in this system. Like many other issues being tackled during this legislative session, the timing of local elections might be better left alone.

U.S. must rebalance its global role Washington — Sen. Amy Klobuchar, a Minnesota Democrat, was trying to explain recently why her state has remained “internationalist” in its soul, even as it shares the national anger about Iraq and Afghanistan.

In Minnesota, she says, “internationalism is not just tolerated, it’s embraced.”

But Klobuchar warns that among her Senate colleagues, on both sides of the aisle, there are growing doubts about global engagement.

Too many politicians, she told me, are moving toward “the idea that you should do nothing at all” overseas.

America’s connection to the world is one of the sleeper political issues of 2014. You can see it most clearly in the Republican Party’s internal debates, with newcomers such as Sens. Rand Paul and Ted Cruz expressing doubt about U.S. military commitments abroad, and GOP traditionalist Sen. John McCain deriding the two as “wacko birds.” There’s new wariness on the left, too, about the traditional rhetoric that accompanies defense spending.

Driving this debate is the public’s disillusionment with foreign wars, which comes through clearly in recent polling. A January sample by the Pew Research Center found that 52 percent of Americans felt the country had “mostly failed” in both Iraq and Afghanistan. That bleak assessment had been shared by just 33 percent and 34 percent, respectively, in 2011.

Frustration with Iraq and Afghanistan corresponds with a broader skepticism about foreign commitments.

David Ignatius

davidignatius@washpost.com

“

Klobuchar argues that after a difficult decade, America needs a refreshed internationalism that recognizes its stake in the world, even as it avoids costly military commitments where possible.”

A Pew poll last November found that 52 percent of Americans felt the U.S. should “mind its own business internationally” and 80 percent said Americans should “concentrate more on our own national problems.”

The Pew findings echoed the 2013 “Transatlantic Trends” poll commissioned by the German Marshall Fund (for which I’m a trustee). That survey found a sharp decline in the percentage of Americans who said it was “very desirable” for the U.S. to “exert strong leadership in world affairs.” Just 46 percent endorsed that view last year, down from a peak of 61 percent in 2010.

Thinking about Klobuchar’s Minnesota, we can see what’s at risk in the debate about America’s foreign role.

First, there’s global business: Minnesota is headquarters for 19 Fortune 500 companies, including Target, Best Buy, 3M, Medtronic and General Mills. The state’s growth markets are abroad.

For all the Garrison Keillor parodies about its Lutheran insularity, Minnesota is also linked to the world by immigrants; it has the largest Somali and Liberian populations in the country and the second-largest Hmong population. Minnesota also accounts for four of the top 20 colleges with the highest percentage of graduating seniors who have studied abroad.

The foreign-policy “establishment” may be centered on the East and West coasts, but political support for strong defense and foreign policy has been rooted in what a song by country singer Jason Aldean calls the “fly over states” of Middle America. That’s the bond that’s tested by the likes of Paul and Cruz.

Think about some of the defining voices of global commitment over the past half-century: Sen. Howard Baker of Tennessee; Sen. J. William Fulbright of Arkansas; Rep. Lee Hamilton of Indiana; Sen. Walter Mondale of Minnesota; Sen. Henry M. Jackson of Washington; Sen. Mike Mansfield of Montana. Their internationalism spoke the flat accents of the Midwest, or the twang of the border and Southern states.

Klobuchar argues that after a difficult decade, America needs a refreshed internationalism that recognizes its stake in the world, even as it avoids

costly military commitments where possible. I’d call that balanced approach the “internationalism of the heartland,” because it sustains the deep links forged by heartland Democrats such as Hamilton, Mondale and Mansfield.

For states such as Minnesota (and I’d argue, for the whole country), disconnecting from the global grid isn’t really an option. But internationalism should be reinvented for the 21st century, so that it more clearly speaks the language of the common man and woman.

When politicians evoke global engagement, that shouldn’t be code for everhigher defense spending.

Internationalism should signify trade links that provide markets and jobs; humanrights and humanitarian policies that engage the deep religious faith of the heartland; measured security policies that protect Americans in an unstable world without busting the budget or skirting the Constitution.

Mainstream Democrats and Republicans would make a mistake to follow Paul and Cruz down the slippery slope toward isolation. But they need to refurbish the internationalist message so that it recognizes America’s mistakes — even as it protects the global connections that will allow future economic and foreign-policy success.

It’s a tricky balance that politicians like Klobuchar are trying to strike, but it’s the right one for the country.

To the editor: After all the recent ridiculous laws submitted or passed by the Kansas government (the most recent being about sex education) I can just see what the next few will be. How about passing a law prohibiting women with children from working or how about a law requiring families to attend church on Sundays or another good one would be to disallow women from participating in sports.

Green energy To the editor: Ken Meyer, in his Feb. 17 letter, makes a valid point about corn-based ethanol, which I would be among the last to attempt to defend. His statements about the carbon footprint of green energy alternatives is way off the mark, however.

It is true that all forms of electrical energy production involve producing some amounts of carbon dioxide, but when the amount of CO2 is calculated over the useful lifetime of the various alternatives, all of the green energy alternatives produce far less CO2 than do coal, oil, and natural gas generation.

Coal, for example, produces between 863 and 1175 grams of CO2 per equivalent kW of electricity, with oil produc-

ing 893 grams and natural gas producing 577 grams.

Of the green electricity alternatives, low temperature geothermal produces the least at 0 to 1 gram. Hydroelectric is second at 15. Wind comes in third at 21, followed by concentrated solar at 40 (Plus or minus 15), nuclear at 60 to 65, high temperature geothermal at 91 to 122 and photovoltaic solar at 106 grams per kW. These figures are from published studies, cited in a Wikipedia article on green energy carbon footprint. As one can easily calculate, fossil fuel electricity produces anywhere from 5.4 to as much as 1,100 or more times as much carbon dioxide as does green electricity production, calculated over the lifetime of the plant. Given that 10 percent to 30 percent of electricity produced in central plants is lost in transmission, localized production of green energy becomes an even better alternative.

Bill reaction nonsense To the editor: The hysteria around the bill concerning rights not to provide services for homosexuals is nonsense. This has even invaded our sports page. A few thoughts and questions to consider: 1. Civil rights are not the same as homosexual rights. A person is born a particular color/race.

2. It is obvious from birth what the color/race a person is.

3. The most one can claim is that some are born with an attraction (later manifested) to the same sex.

4. Homosexuality is discerned by the actions of people.

5. If sexual identification is determined by DNA and so moral, then pedophiles, rapists and those who commit bestiality can claim they are moral.

6. Is a hot-tempered person excused for actions if born with that disposition?

7. Is it right to argue that the disposition a person has when born makes the future actions OK? 8. Should a homosexual in the business be required to print signs for the “protests” of Fred Phelps? No? Then why should those opposed to samesex marriage be forced to service those weddings?

9. Is it truly hate speech or bigotry to disagree with the actions of some and not want to be involved in their activity?

10. Does our Creator have rights?

Surely those are important to take into consideration.

Yanukovych’s whereabouts are now unclear after he left the capital for his support base in eastern Ukraine.

Russia’s next moves in the crisis were not immediately clear, but Washington warned Moscow not to intervene militarily.

The newly emboldened parliament, now dominated by the opposition, struggled to work out who is in charge of the country and its ailing economy. Fears percolated that some regions might try to break away and seek Russian support.

Washington — Industry groups and Republican-led states are heading an attack at the Supreme Court against the Obama administration’s sole means of trying to limit factory emissions of gases blamed for global warming.

As President Barack Obama pledges to act on environmental and other matters, opponents of regulation cast the rule as a power grab.

The court is hearing arguments Monday about a small piece of the Environmental Protection Agency’s plans to cut emissions — a requirement that companies expanding industrial facilities must also evaluate ways to reduce the carbon they release.

Republicans have objected strenuously to the administration’s decision to push ahead with the regulations after Congress failed to pass climate legislation. Both sides agree that it would have been better to deal with climate

“We all came to believe that she would just never die,” said Frederic Bohbot, a producer of the documentary “The Lady in Number 6: Music Saved My Life.”

The film, directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Malcolm Clarke, has been nominated for best short documentary at the Academy Awards next Sunday.

Tymoshenko, the blond-braided and controversial heroine of the 2004 Orange Revolution, increasingly appears to have the upper hand in the political battle, winning the backing Sunday of a leading Russian lawmaker and congratulations from German Chancellor Angela Merkel and U.S. senators.

Washington — After 13 years on the run, narrow escapes from the military, law enforcement and rivals, Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman is back in Mexican custody. Now starts what is likely to be a lengthy and complicated legal process to decide which country gets to try him first.

In Mexico, Guzman is likely to face a host of charges related to his role as the head of the Sinaloa Cartel, the country’s most powerful drug organization and a key player in the yearslong violence that has claimed tens of thousands of lives since 2006.

But grand juries in at least seven U.S. federal district courts, including Chicago, San Diego, New York and Texas, already have handed up indictments for Guzman on a variety of charges, ranging from smuggling cocaine and heroin into the United States to participating in an ongoing criminal enterprise involving murder and racketeering.

Kiev, Ukraine (ap) — With an ally claiming presidential powers Sunday and the whereabouts and legitimacy of the nominal president unclear, newly freed opposition icon Yulia Tymoshenko may feel her chance to take Ukraine’s leadership has come. But even among protesters who detest President Viktor Yanukovych, Tymoshenko sparks misgivings.

The former prime minister, who was convicted of abuse of office in a case widely seen as political revenge by her arch-foe Yanukovych, is a polarizing figure. Admired and even adored by many for her flair and fiery rhetoric, Tymoshenko is regarded by others as corrupt.

Just a day after she left the hospital where she was imprisoned, demonstrators outside the Cabinet of Ministers expressed dismay that she could be Ukraine’s next president.

One of them held a placard depicting Tymoshenko taking power from Yanukovych and reading, “People didn’t die for this.”

Ukraine is in a delicate state of uncertainty since Yanukovych and protest leaders signed an agreement to end the conflict

KANSAS BASKETBALL

WSU deserves top spot in poll In the chummy world of college basketball, everybody knows who sits at the cool kids’ table. The rest need to sit down, shut up and be grateful for the seat at the corner table of the cafeteria, where the mice battle for crumbs spilled by the unwashed.

Wichita State is not welcome at the cool kids’ table and will not be ranked No. 1 when today’s Associated Press college basketball poll is released.

Florida will move into the No. 1 spot with the number in parentheses representing first-place votes being somewhere in the neighborhood of 50. I’ll be one of the dozen or so voting Wichita State first, for no other reason than the Shockers have earned the right to sit atop the poll by going 29-0.

Those desperate to score points with the cool kids — maybe even so many points they’ll get a wave or at least a nod when strolling past their table at a respectful distance — will laugh at such a selection.

That’s fine. Many laughed at the Shockers having the audacity to consider themselves equals to Louisville, Syracuse and Michigan at last year’s Final Four in the Georgia Dome.

Never mind that the Shockers knocked off No. 1 seed Gonzaga and No. 2 seed Ohio State en route to Atlanta. They didn’t belong and still don’t. Just ask the cool kids.

Let’s conveniently forget that nobody played national-champion Louisville tougher in the NCAA Tournament than the Shockers, who couldn’t hold onto a 12-point lead with 13-plus minutes remaining. The Cardinals won their final 16 games and only one team during that winning streak, Wichita State, came within four points of them. The Shockers returned all but 17 points from that 72-68 loss. All but six of Wichita State’s 29 victories have been by double figures.

Despite all that, one of the more fashionable questions asked by analysts — who somehow keep straight faces when asking it — is whether the Shockers would get a No. 1 seed Please see KEEGAN, page 3B

Jayhawks can clinch l0th straight league title tonight

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University junior point guard Naadir Tharpe remembers the excitement and enthusiasm, the utter frenzy in Allen Fieldhouse the last time the Jayhawks wrapped up at least a share of the Big 12 regular-season basketball championship at home.

“It happened my freshman year when we beat Missouri. That was the game that clinched it,” Tharpe said of an 87-86 overOU V. KU time win over the Tigers on Who: OklaFeb. 25, 2012 — a homa (20-7 game that gave overall, 9-5 KU a piece of its Big 12) vs. eighth-straight Kansas (21-6, league title with 12-2) two games left on the schedule. When: 8 p.m.

“It’s my third today year here. To Where: Allen be able to clinch Fieldhouse at home, that TV: ESPN would be good (WOW cable for the fans, chs. 33, 233) good for Kansas, good for the players and most importantly, coach,” he added of Bill Self, who has directed KU to nine straight league titles heading into today’s home game against Oklahoma.

KU (21-6, 12-2) enters the 8 p.m. Big Monday battle three games up on Oklahoma (20-7, 9-5), Texas and Iowa State with four to play.

So a win tonight would assure at least a share of a 10th-straight crown with three games to spare.

“It feels good,” Tharpe said. “It’s my third year, and in my third year being able to be the head guy and get 10 straight, you know ... it’s big time,” he said.

UNLV (1983-92, Big West) and UConn (1951-60, Yankee) have won 10 consecutive conference titles throughout history. Gonzaga won 11 straight West Coast Conference crowns from 2001-11. UCLA won 13 in a row in the Pac-8 and Pac-10 from 1967 to ‘79.

“I don’t think I need to fire them up at all,” Tharpe said of his teammates, who Please see KU HOOPS, page 3B

Earnhardt Jr. wins delayed Daytona

GOLF

Day tops Match Play Championship Marana, Ariz. — Jason Day won the Match Play Championship on Sunday by surviving the amazing par saves of Victor Dubuisson.

The most riveting event in its 16-year history ended on the

23rd hole at Dove Mountain when Day rolled in a routine birdie putt from 4 feet on the 15th hole. It was his first World Golf Championship.

Nothing else about this day was routine.

Dubuisson hit out of a cactus behind the first green, up the thick grass and onto the green to stay in the match on the 19th hole. On the 20th hole, he smashed wedge through a desert bush to get to his ball and watched it roll to 7 feet for another par.

But the Frenchman ran out of magic on the 23rd hole.

Nordqvist edges Park at LPGA Thailand Chonburi, Thailand — Anna Nordqvist won the LPGA Thailand to end a five-year victory drought, holding off top-ranked Inbee Park at Siam County Club.

Nordqvist, the LPGA Championship and LPGA Tour Championship winner in 2009, led wire-to-wire. The 26-year-old Swede closed with a 4-under 68 to beat defending champion Park by two strokes.

Nordqvist finished at 15-under 273 on the Pattaya Old Course.

Park, making her first start of the year, had a bogey-free 66.

The South Korean player won six times last year.

Scotland’s Catriona Matthew was third at 11 under after a 65, and Michelle Wie was 10 under after a 69.

Nadal’s victory comes four weeks after he lost the Australian Open, beaten in that final by underdog Stanislas Wawrinka after tweaking his back while warming up.

Nadal, who had to fend off two match points in the semifinal against Pablo Andujar, looked more comfortable in the final and improved his record on clay to 298-21, the best in the Open Era. Dolgopolov has lost all five matches against Nadal.

in the NCAA Tournament should they run the table, winning their final two regular-season games, plus the Missouri Valley Conference.

Anybody who thinks that the games matter more than the schedules made by athletic administrators over phones across America several months ago must answer that question in the affirmative.

The Missouri Valley was particularly strong a year ago, when the Shockers lost six regular-season games and another in the postseason tournament. Two of those seven losses were dealt by Creighton, now a member of the Big East.

The conference is down this season, but not so down that going 16-0 so far, with 13 of the victories by double digits, doesn’t count as a testament to con-

“I think they are just as excited as I am. It’s all a matter of what we do on Monday. OU is a good team.”

KU has won 13 of the 17 Big 12 regular-season titles (includes ties with Kansas State last year; Texas in 2007-08 and 05-06; Oklahoma in 2004-05). KU’s 56 conference titles are the most in NCAA Div. I. Kentucky is second with 51 and Penn third at 37.

“That was our first goal to start the year off, win our 10th straight Big 12 championship. That is still the goal,” said freshman guard Frank Mason, who scored 14 points in 18 minutes against the Longhorns on Saturday. “Right now we’re taking it one at a time so we can reach that goal.”

Last year, KU shared the title with Kansas State after losing its league finale at Baylor.

“We’ve been fortunate here the last several years ... not every day you can clinch at least a piece of the championship at home,” Self said. “I think our guys will put forth the concentration to give us the best chance to do that. We will not take it for granted. It won’t be easy. OU will spread you and drive you. It’s what we have the hardest time guarding.”

Coach Lon Kruger’s Sooners have a 4-3 record in Big 12 road games this year, second in the league to KU’s 5-2 mark. The Sooners rank second to Iowa State in scoring offense (82.8 ppg), but are last in scoring defense (76.8). KU is fourth in scoring offense (79.7) and fourth in defense (69.1).

In league-only games, KU is first in scoring offense (81.5 ppg) and OU third (78.6). The Jayhawks are tied for second in scoring defense (69.9); OU is tied for seventh (75.9).

— Kansas University freshman guard Frank Mason way to play on the road,” Self said. “There’s a lot of isolation, going one on one. If a couple guys are having good nights ... Lon is so good at moving guys around and getting guys the ball with an unused dribble in certain areas.”

KU won the first meeting, 90-83, on Jan. 8 in Norman. OU’s Cameron Clark led all scorers with 32 points, while Buddy Hield had 18. KU was led

by Wayne Selden, who scored 24 points. Perry Ellis had 22 and Tharpe 17.

“We were fortunate the first time we played. We played well,” Self said.

“They also missed some shots (OU was 6-of-19 from three). We’ve got to do a good job defending the three and guarding the ball.”

OU, which has the league’s top rebounder in Ryan Spangler (9.6 rpg), downed K-State, 86-73, on Saturday in Norman, for its third win in four games. OU led, 41-22, at halftime.

“They are coming off a big win,” KU senior center Tarik Black said.

“They beat a team that beat us (KSU). I watched the beginning of that game. They were shooting well. We better be ready because this team (OU) is dangerous.”

Of course, so is a KU team that is trying to assure a 10th straight league title with a starting lineup of three freshmen, one sophomore and one junior.

“This is as good as our league has ever been and we’re up three games,” Self said. “Our young guys have done a good job staying up in the moment and playing game to game.

“When we play well we can play with any-

schedule, but realize that doing so is just shining light on the blue bloods avoiding playing

body, without question,” Self added. “When we are hitting on all cylinders I think we can play with anybody. We are not consistently doing it enough.”

This KU team has an intangible that could take it a long way, notes senior Black.

“There’s no animosity in the locker room,” Black said. “Everybody loves each other and wants to see each other shine. One through five, we want to see each other perform at the highest level. We want to win together. I’ve not heard of too many teams winning that don’t have good chemistry.

You have to have a bond, at least a situation where everybody wants to win.

We have a situation we actually like each other and want to win.” l Lyle coming to town: JaQuan Lyle, a 6-5 senior shooting guard from Huntington (W.Va.) Prep, will attend today’s KU-OU game as part of an official recruiting visit. The country’s No. 22-rated player attended Oklahoma State’s 84-62 victory over Texas Tech on Saturday in Stillwater, Okla. He’s already visited Oregon and is set to visit Memphis on March 7.

“If I’m not sold on one of those schools I will take another visit to Providence or Georgetown,” he told Zagsblog. com. He’s good buddies with KU signee Cliff Alexander.

Lyle, who turns 18 today, told the Huntington Herald-Dispatch he plans to make a decision over spring break, March 15-23. l This, that: KU has won nine league titles in a row. Belmont (Atlantic Sun/Ohio Valley East) and Murray State (Ohio Valley West) are next at four in a row ... KU leads the series, 140-65. KU has won 11 of the last 12 meetings. ... KU is 43-7 vs. OU in Allen and has won 12 in a row over OU at home ... Self is 12-4 alltime against Oklahoma, including 12-2 while at KU. Kruger is 6-14 versus Kansas, 1-4 while at OU.

the Shockers based on the everything-to-lose, nothing-to-gain philosophy.

Wichita State won at St. Louis, now a top-15 team.

Nobody but the Shockers have won at Indiana State.

They can only beat those courageous enough to play them.

It’s not necessarily the team with the best basketball players that deserves to be ranked No. 1, rather the one that plays the best basketball. So far, that has been Wichita State, if only by a hair compared to Florida.

Part of the equation to winning involves not beating yourself.

The Shockers average 10.4 turnovers per game. Sophomore point guard Fred VanVleet’s 3.77 assists-to-turnover ratio ranks fifth in the nation. They don’t beat themselves by missing free throws. The three leading scorers — Cleanthony Early (15.8), Ron Baker (13.0) and VanVleet (12.3) — shoot .848, .848 and .835 from the free-throw line.

Somebody help me out.

Remind me again how it’s easier to shoot free throws against a weak schedule?

BRIEFLY Duncan K’s 14 for KU baseball Port Charlotte, Fla. — Kansas University senior right-hander Frank Duncan struck out a career-high 14 batters as the KU baseball team won its seventh straight game, 11-1 against Mississippi Valley State, on Sunday at the Snowbird Classic.

Duncan (0-1) allowed just four hits and one run while throwing 92 pitches, 71 for strikes.

Five Jayhawks had multi-hit performances at the plate, contributing to Kansas’ 17 hits. Freshman catcher Michael Tinsley led the way for KU, going 3-for-4 with a triple, two RBI and two runs. Senior centerfielder Tucker Tharp had two doubles, and junior shortstop Justin Protacio, junior left fielder Michael Suiter and sophomore first baseman Jacob Boylan also had a pair of hits.

The Jayhawks wrap up the Snowbird Classic at 9 a.m. today against St. Bonaventure.

BROOKLYN NETS CENTER JASON COLLINS, LEFT, BATTLES FOR A REBOUND with Los Angeles Lakers’ Jordan Hill during the first half on Sunday in Los Angeles.

Collins was signed by the Nets on Sunday, making him the first openly gay athlete in the four major U.S. professional sports leagues.

NBA roundup

The Associated Press

Nets 108, Lakers 102 Los Angeles — Jason Collins played his first game with the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday night, becoming the first openly gay player in the four major U.S. professional sports leagues, and Deron Williams had 30 points in a victory over the Los Angeles Lakers.

Collins was signed to a 10-day contract Sunday, nearly 10 months after his announcement on April 29 in Sports Illustrated.

He had two rebounds and five fouls in 10 scoreless minutes.

The 12-year veteran spent his first six-plus NBA seasons with the Nets and helped them get to the NBA Finals in 2002 and 2003. This was the 35-year-old center’s first NBA game since April 17, 2013, with Washington.

Dear Annie: My son recently said something that kept me awake most of the night.

My wife and I were at his home for dinner, along with my daughter and several others. We were talking about TV, and my son mentioned a show where a guy does all kinds of things to save money. He said to my daughter, “If you think your daddy is cheap, you should see this guy.” I said nothing at the time because I didn’t want to spoil the occasion. But evidently, he and my daughter both think I am cheap.

Annie, I put both of them through college, and so they don’t owe any money. I worked three jobs so my son could attend a prestigious university out East. They have never wanted for anything.

It’s been three

months, and I’m still hurting. Any advice? — Disappointed Dad Dear Dad: No one wants to be thought of as cheap, especially by his own children. But we don’t think your son or daughter intended to be hurtful. What you consider sensibly frugal, they undoubtedly recall as you saying “no” to their innumerable requests. But please don’t let this fester, as it could damage your relationship with your

Real history hard to find on History The anything-but-history channel debuts something called “Cryptid: The Swamp Beast” (9 p.m., History), a reality take on folklore belief in a shape-shifting bog creature called everything from the “Rougarou” to the “skunk ape.”

Some may view such fare as light entertainment or a timewasting distraction based on superstition and half-baked tall tales. At best, it represents a callous indifference to history and the mission of something c a l l e d “The History Channel.” And that in itself is a statement of sorts, particularly in light of a documentary like “The Injustice Files: Sundown Towns” (7 p.m., ID).

This examines real history, none of it pretty — and not all of it over.

For decades, there were towns in the United States — North and South — that were known as “sundown towns,” allwhite towns where residents let it be known that no black person was safe after darkness fell.

Such towns were so prevalent that, in 1936, a Harlem resident published a motorists’ guide to help travelers avoid ending up in communities where they might be subject to harassment, physical intimidation or worse.

Filmmaker Keith Beauchamp embarks on a road trip of his own to see if such towns and practices still endure to this day.

“The Voice” (7 p.m., NBC) returns with continuity and change. CeeLo Green and Christina Aguilera are being replaced

by Usher and Shakira. Blake Shelton and Adam Levine return. Green is apparently gone for good, but will work on other projects with NBC. I suppose those red chairs are still in place.

Tonight’s other highlights

Genetic theft can be fatal

on “Almost Human” (7 p.m., Fox).

Emery tries to comfort a grieving Roman on “StarCrossed” (7 p.m., CW).

A plan to collaborate with the FBI runs amok on “The Following” (8 p.m., Fox).

A friend of Gabriel falls under suspicion on “Intelligence” (9 p.m., CBS).

Dear Annie: I have been a widow for three years. My husband was my first love, and we were married for 36 years.

I have now met a man who seems similar to my late husband. I really like “Don,” but I worry that he only wants a caregiver. When we first met, I asked whether he had any health issues, and he said no. But after our second date, he started saying our relationship wasn’t moving fast enough. After a month, Don ended up in the hospital with a mild heart attack.

I think Don lied to me about his health and is looking for someone to be a nursemaid. I like him, but I’m not willing to put forth that kind of effort for a man who has lied to me.

Am I doing the right

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) Encourage others to verbalize their thoughts. Be as direct as possible when dealing with an associate. Tonight: Go along with a surprise.

thing by breaking it off, or should I go along and see what is ahead for us? I really am confused. — Don’t Want To Be Saddled So Soon Dear Don’t: Heart attacks are generally unexpected, so unless Don was aware that he had heart problems, he may not have been lying about his health. However, we are more concerned that Don seems to be rushing things.

You should never feel pressured to move faster than what makes you comfortable. If you enjoy Don’s company, there’s no reason not to continue seeing him, but make it clear that you are in no hurry. If he wants a caregiver, he should look elsewhere.
