Booze battle looms

Groundwater levels decline more slowly; some rise

Groundwater levels in western Kansas continued to decline last year, although at a slower pace than in recent years, the Kansas Geological Survey said.

City hires firm to help settle light Liquor stores on defensive as grocers dispute at Rock Chalk Park fight for right to sell wine and spirits

BRIAN FADDEN, OWNER OF PARKWAY WINE AND SPIRITS at 3514 Clinton Parkway, dusts off some bottles to shelve Monday at the store. Fadden opposes a measure that would allow the sale of liquor in grocery and convenience stores. Hy-Vee and Dillons are part of Uncork Kansas, the consortium of grocery and convenience stores pushing for the legislation.

rian Fadden, owner of Parkway Wine & Spirits in Lawrence, says that if a proposed bill to allow grocery and convenience stores to sell wine, liquor and strong beer passes, he’ll likely go out of business. But he’ll at least be able to find another job.

If many of the thousands of grocery and convenience stores in Kansas get liquor licenses, the Kansas Alcohol Beverage Control office will have to hire a lot of additional inspectors, he said.

City officials are now agreeing to spend some money to try to settle a lighting dispute with a homeowner near the Rock Chalk Park sports complex.

The city is planing to spend about $2,500 to hire an engineering firm to examine whether a series of 100-foot light poles at the northwest Lawrence sports complex will unduly cause light to shine onto adjacent properties.

Whether the new engineering study will settle the dispute with nearby homeowner Jack Graham is still unclear.

“I guess the place to start is to determine what the impact will be, and then we’ll have to see what we can do to improve it,” said Rick Hird, a Lawrence attorney representing Graham.

new accounts,” Fadden said, adding that they can “barely get around” to visiting the 750 liquor stores in Kansas as it is.

Liquor store owners in Lawrence and elsewhere across the state are worried that House Bill 2556, which had a hearing before the House Commerce Committee last week, will put them out of business and hurt the state’s economy by transferring profits to out-of-state corporations. Uncork Kansas, the consortium of grocery and convenience stores (notably Dillons and HyVee) that is pushing the legislation, says the bill will make the state more consumer-friendly, preventing Kansans from having to buy their food and alcohol in separate locations.

rainfall amounts across south-central Kansas, west-central Kansas and even into portions of drought-stricken southwest Kansas,” said Brownie Wilson, water data manager for KGS. “Obviously, any time you can get your water demands satisfied by Mother Nature, the less you have to pull from aquifers and surface reservoirs.”

Most of the wells surveyed lie within one of the state’s five Groundwater Management Districts, which are governed by area landowners and large-scale water users to address water resource issues.

According to the preliminary data, water tables within GMD 3, in droughtstricken southwest Kansas, dropped 2.31 feet last

ally very open ended,” Hird said, citing concerns the complex may become a general entertainment venue.

As previously reported, Fritzel’s Bliss Sports will own the stadiums and other facilities and lease them to Kansas Athletics.

But the lease does give Fritzel the ability to host other events at the facility, although nonsporting events will require a permit from City Hall.

McCullough said he hopes to have results from the engineering study in about 10 days.

At some point, city commissioners will be asked to approve a lighting plan for the project. In the meantime, work on the lighting at the site has been halted, but all other work has been allowed to continue.

a long history of restrictive alcohol laws, grocery and convenience stores are allowed to sell only “cereal malt beverages” or beer containing 3.2 percent alcohol or less. Brewers specifically make the weaker beer for Kansas and the four states (Oklahoma, Colorado, Utah and Minnesota) with similar rules.

Under the new proposal, grocery and convenience stores would be able to sell not only “strong” beer but also wine and hard liquor.

“Liquor stores have had it good. They have had a monopoly. They have had the government protecting their industry,” said Jessica Lucas, a spokeswoman for Uncork Kansas. “But what we’re seeing is Kansans saying, ‘We’re not OK with this. We want the convenience, the choice and the cost savings that come from competition.’ Competition is good because the consumer wins.”

She argues that the law would help, not hurt, Kan-

sas’ economy by keeping consumers from traveling out of state to buy their groceries and alcohol in one place. She also says the legislation protects liquor store owners by not permitting any new liquor licenses to be issued for 10 years. That would allow the owners to sell the licenses if they wanted to get out of business, she said, though opponents worry that grocery and convenience stores would be the ones buying them. Grocery and convenience stores would be able to start selling regular-strength beer in 2017, wine in 2020 and spirits in 2024.

Alek Joyce, a 22-yearold Kansas University student, says if he wanted to make a gin and tonic, he’d have to get the gin at a liquor store, then drive to a grocer to buy the tonic water (liquor stores aren’t currently permitted to sell anything but alcohol and lottery tickets, but, under the proposed legislation, would eventually be able to).

“It’s always seemed kind of backward that the two couldn’t be sold in the same place,” he said.

Though Joyce does worry about the law’s effect on local liquor stores, he believes it is best for the consumer and is what the free-market system is all about.

Christian Walter, owner of Myers Retail Liquor in Lawrence, said the law would hurt state tax revenues by leading to lower alcohol prices and, in turn, decreased sales tax receipts. He said the law’s provision to allow 18-year-olds to sell booze would make it easier for minors to obtain it. And then there’s the harm the measure would do the local economy, he added.

“My banker, my accountant, my janitorial staff would lose work.

My (nine) employees would be out of jobs,” Walter said. “This bill is awful for local business owners and good for the big corporations.”

year. During each of the three previous years, water levels fell by more than 3 feet. And since 1996, they have fallen nearly 35 feet, KGS said.

That region of the state continued to be plagued with drought last year.

Much of the area received less than half the normal precipitation in 2013, and some areas received less than 25 percent, KGS said.

Within GMD 1, in westcentral Kansas, water tables fell by only 0.79 feet last year. But much of that area has already been closed off to largescale irrigation because of dramatic declines in previous years.

In northwest Kansas, water tables fell, on average, 0.76 feet last year — less than the 1.39 feet recorded after 2012. That area, which includes GMD 4, missed out on the above-average rainfall experienced in other parts of western Kansas in July and August.

Water in the High Plains Aquifer is sometimes referred to as “fossil water” because it lies hundreds of feet below the surface and is not directly recharged by precipitation.

In the area of Big Bend GMD 5, centered over the Great Bend Prairie Aquifer in west-central Kansas, water tables rose an average of more than half a foot. That came after two consecutive years of declines.

And in Equus Bed GMD 2, which covers parts of Sedgwick, McPherson, Harvey and Reno counties, levels rose more than 2.5 feet after declining more than 3 feet in 2011 and 1.64 feet in 2012.

According to KGS, groundwater in those areas is relatively close to the surface and lies beneath sandy soils that allow some recharge to reach the aquifer, while wells farther west lie deeper below the surface, beneath less penetrable rocks.

presenting a photometric plan for the approval by the Lawrence City Commission.

When city commissioners approved the zoning for the sports complex last year, it was done with the condition that a lighting plan would be presented to the commission prior to building permits being issued for the project. Graham’s attorney called that to the city’s attention in December.

The project’s development group, Lawrence builder Thomas Fritzel’s Bliss Sports, has since presented a lighting plan to the city’s planning office for review. But Hird said the document is inadequate, in part, because it didn’t involve an engineer’s review.

Hird said his client understands there will be some light glare from the tall poles, but Hird said the city may need to do more to limit the number and types of events at the complex.

Scott McCullough, the city’s director of planning, said Candela, a national engineering firm that specializes in lighting design, will determine how much light will spill onto adjacent properties if all the lights at the sports complex were turned on at once.

McCullough said the city — rather than Rock Chalk Park’s private development group — plans to pay for this portion of the study, in part, because the city believes the engineering review goes above what city code calls for in a photometric plan.

McCullough said the city is moving ahead with the study because it is trying to accommodate Graham’s request for more information about the lighting system, which will include lights for a soccer field, softball complex and an outdoor track and field stadium. The issue is complicated, however, by the city’s admission that it erred when it issued a building permit for the complex prior to

Trek to the top

House panel revises sex ed proposal Topeka — A House committee has made significant changes to a proposal that would mandate parental action before students receive sex education in Kansas public schools.

The House Education Committee heavily amended the bill Monday, changing the proposal from requiring parental approval before a student could receive the instruction to a bill requiring written consent before a student would be withheld.

Committee members spent 90 minutes debating the changes before delaying a final vote until Tuesday.

The change was prompted after a student in Johnson County reported that suggestive material was posted on a classroom door that her parents had expressly forbid her to receive in school.

Legislators said Monday they understood parental concerns but feel some students who need sex education won’t receive proper information any other place.

Lawmakers table anti-fluoride proposal Topeka — A Kansas House committee has tabled a bill to require cities and other local governments to warn consumers if they put fluoride in their water supplies.

Chairman David Crum said the House Health and Human Services Committee’s 10-2 vote Monday means the anti-fluoride bill is dead.

The measure has been condemned by public health officials and the Kansas Dental Association. The federal Centers for Disease Control last year called fluoridation of water “one of 10 great public health achievements of the 20th century.�

But the bill says fluoride is dangerous and would require local governments to warn consumers if it fluoridates water — and to warn that it might lower children’s IQs. Anti-fluoride activist Mark Gietzen said supporters of the bill will try to get action in the Senate.

Capitol dome tours resume

By Ashleigh Tidwell atidwell@ljworld.com

If you’ve been through Topeka recently you’ll have noticed that part of the skyline has changed.

What used to be a tarnished green dome on the state capitol building is now the magnificent copper color it was meant to be.

After 13 years, more

than $300 million of renovations are finally finished. For some this simply means the unsightly crane and scaffolding have been removed.

However, it also means that tours to the top of

the dome have resumed.

In the two weeks since tours began Feb. 6, more than 1,200 visitors have made the trek to the top.

Please see TOURS, page 4A

Lawrence school district Superintendent Rick Doll said Monday that the Common Core standards for math and English language arts have become so politically charged, he doubts they will remain long as they are currently written. “We think they’re positive,� Doll said during remarks at a Lawrence Rotary Club luncheon. “But I’ll be honest with you, I think they have become so politically charged that I’m not sure that it’ll be implemented in its present form.�

The Common Core standards have been at the center of a political firestorm at the Kansas statehouse in Topeka and in several other state legislators around the nation.

Initially, they were a state-led initiative by the National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers, and they were intended to ensure that students were prepared to enter college or the workplace after graduating high school.

But critics have charged that the standards have become a kind of federal mandate and an intrusion by the federal government into a policy area traditionally left to state and local governments. “The discussion about Common Core is 99.9 percent political. You just need to know that,� Doll said. “So that has been

The Kansas State Board of Education formally adopted the Common Core standards in October 2010, with little fanfare or controversy.

This year, however, will mark the first year that students in Kansas will be given state assessments based on those standards.

States participating in the project were allowed to add their own statespecific content, as long as those items make up no more than 15 percent of the total content. Kansas added additional content to incorporate career and technical education material related to reading and math, and the state board formally named those combined standards the “Kansas College and Career Ready Standards.�

Chief Jim King said a direct relationship between this fire and the 2012 fires has not been established, but they are “similar in nature� and the fire is being investigated.

According to JournalWorld partner Operation 100 News, fire crews were called to Cedarwood Apartments for a possible structure fire at 11:48 p.m. Friday and found a bag of trash on fire inside the building. The fire was quickly controlled but it filled the building with smoke.

Division Chief Doug Green said on Saturday that no one was injured during the fire.

From October to December 2012, 21 fires occurred close to occupied apartment buildings in a several-block area south of 23rd Street and east of Iowa Street. A suspect has yet to be found for those arsons, which were usually small and easily extinguished.

The bill also has language that would allow KU to issue $25 million in bonds for the school’s Earth Energy Environment Center.

cal building is outdated and that surrounding states have been opening modern facilities, making it more difficult to attract students to KU. The House Appropriations proposal doesn’t include funding for the health education building either.

During discussion of the budget, Republican legislative leaders defended the cuts they instituted last year, saying they were needed to

hold the schools fiscally accountable. Appropriations Chairman Marc Rhoades, R-Newton, said the schools have yet to make the case that the cuts should be restored.

But state Rep. Barbara Ballard, D-Lawrence, said the cuts were made without knowing what impact they would have.

Lawmakers staying course on public pensions issue

A TRANSMISSION POWER TRACK AND POWER LINES are shown against a sunset north of Topeka in June of 2008.

A bill before the House would require proposed power lines to undergo more scrutiny before they are approved.

Farmers want say in power lines Topeka (ap) — A bill before the Kansas House would require proposed transmission lines to undergo more regulatory scrutiny before they are approved.

Under the bill, the Kansas Electric Transmission Authority would review all proposed transmission line projects before they are considered by the Kansas Corporation Commission.

Supporters said the bill would give landowners more input into projects that often are placed on farmland. Others suggested the state’s process for approving such projects is already sufficient.

Rep. Sharon Schwartz, a Republican from Washington, said the bill was partly a response to the KCC’s approval of a proposed project by Clear Line Energy, which wants to build a 700-mile transmission line to carry wind energy to the east, The Topeka CapitalJournal reported.

The bill follows Brownback’s recommendation to spend $10.9 million over two years to restore some of the salary-based reductions that were adopted last year.

One of the big items missing from Brownback’s budget is KU’s request for some funding to start construction on a $75 million health education building. KU officials have said the current medi-

About 370 miles of the lines would be in Kansas, where the project has met some resistance, particularly in the northeast corner of the state. The Clean Line project still needs approval from Missouri, Indiana and Illinois.

“The ground they were going across is prime farmland ground and the people that it’s affected didn’t know about it until basically Clean Line had been granted their Certificate of Convenience,” Schwartz said during a hearing on the bill last week before the House Energy and Environment Committee.

“Obviously, I think if they had been granted some input, it might have made a difference.”

The line is projected to spur $7 billion in wind energy projects and Gov. Sam Brownback supported it when the KCC approved the Kansas portion in 2011.

Michael White, manager of Topeka-based util-

ity company ITC Great Plains, said his company is neutral on the bill but is concerned that it doesn’t clearly define what types of transmission lines would be affected. He also noted that the KCC and utilities already provide open houses and town hall meetings on proposed transmission projects.

Rep. Annie Kuether, DTopeka, said she doesn’t know of any transmission projects in Kansas in which “every inch of the way hasn’t been before KETA” and Clean Line officials have discussed the project with KETA “over and over and over again.”

“While it sounds great to add another layer to the process, I think Kansas is actually in good shape with how we do transmission with landowners,” Kuether said. “They’re under a microscope.”

The committee planned to continue the hearing this week.

new Kansas teachers and government workers and a competing plan to boost the benefits of public retirees failed Monday to clear a committee in the state House.

The House Pensions and Benefits Committee’s voice votes on the measure suggested that many lawmakers aren’t enthusiastic about major changes to policies they’ve enacted in recent years to improve the long-term financial health of the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System.

The pension system is projecting a gap of nearly $10.3 billion between anticipated revenues and its commitments to retirees through June 2033, but it also expects the shortfall to melt away because of laws enacted in 2011 and 2012.

Changes in recent years boosted state contributions to public pensions and even committed profits from state-owned casinos. The state revised benefit plans for existing employees and created a new one for workers hired starting next year that moves away from traditional plans that guarantee benefits up front, based on an employee’s salary and years of service. But the alterations stop short of creating a 401(k)-style plan, in

— Rep. Jim Kelly, an Independence Republican

which benefits are tied to investment earnings.

“We need to stay the course,” said Rep. John Barker, an Abilene Republican.

The House last week approved a bill, 94-26, to revise parts of the pension plan for workers hired starting next year, and the Senate established a special committee to look at the changes. But legislators in both parties have said they see little appetite to go further.

GOP legislators who’ve pushed for a new, 401(k)style plan note that they’re common among private companies. They argue that tying retirees’ benefits to investment earnings eventually eliminates the risk that taxpayers will have to cover a long-term funding shortfall.

“When you’re in a hole, the first thing you’ve got to do is stop digging,” said Rep. John Rubin, a Shawnee Republican.

But retiree and public employee groups have long argued that 401(k)style plans won’t result in as generous benefits as traditional pension plans.

Also, KPERS officials es-

timated that starting up a new plan would cost $3 billion over two decades, with the state still having to close the funding gap for its existing plans.

“That, all of a sudden, will open your eyes,” said Rep. Dan Hawkins, a Wichita Republican.

The long-term cost of the boost in retirement benefits was a relatively modest $70 million, with people retiring between July 2004 and July 2009 receiving an increase of 0.5 percent. People retiring on or before July 1, 1984, would have received a 3 percent increase.

The last cost-of-living adjustment for public retirees in Kansas was in 1997, though the state gave extra, one-time checks in 2000, 2007 and 2008. On Friday, the House rejected a proposal, offered as an amendment to the pensions bill it passed, to give retirees an extra one-time bonus of $300.

“It would be difficult for me to go ahead and look at an adjustment until we’re in a better position going forward,” said Rep. Jim Kelly, an Independence Republican.

Longer classes will make up for weather day

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Students in the Lawrence school district will have to attend class on Friday, April 18, to make up for one of the four days cancelled this year due to weather. High school students will spend a few extra minutes in each class over a four-week period to make up for another.

Superintendent Rick Doll announced the plan during the Lawrence school board meeting Monday night.

State law states that districts have to provide a minimum number of

instructional days during a school year: 465 hours for kindergarten; 1,116 for grades 1 though 11; and 1,086 for grade 12.

Doll said the district h a d enough flexibility built into its calendar to absorb the first SCHOOLS snow day, which occurred in January. The district also reserved April 18 as a makeup day in the event of a second cancellation.

Because the district provided for, and plans

to use, that make-up day, Doll said, the Kansas State Department of Education will effectively “forgive” the third day.

The way school days are structured at different levels, Doll said, elementary and middle schools still have enough flexibility to absorb the fourth weather cancellation, but the high schools will have to make up that fourth day.

Doll said the plan is to stretch out each class during a four-week period between March 24, when students return following spring break, through April 18.

During that time, high schools will add two minutes to each class when they are operating on a seven-period schedule, moving dismissal time on those days from 3:05 p.m. to 3:19 p.m.

They will add five minutes to each class when operating on a block schedule, moving Wednesday dismissal time from 2:30 p.m. to 2:50 p.m., and the Thursday block schedule dismissal time from 2 p.m. to 2:15 p.m.

Lecompton focus A recent series of programs in Lecompton shared interesting insights about the Civil War period.

C

ongratulations to the Kansas State Historical Society and the folks in Lecompton for this year’s series of presentations related to issues surrounding slavery and the Civil War. For five Sundays, concluding last weekend, speakers have entertained and educated audiences that basically packed the Constitution Hall State Historic Site in Lecompton, even on days when the weather didn’t cooperate.

Presenters have included historians, professors and others with an interest in the subject matter, including Lawton Nuss, chief justice of the Kansas Supreme Court, and Anthony Hensley, a Topekan who is the Democratic Party leader in the Kansas Senate. Topics ranged from state constitutional conventions to women’s rights to the military order that forced Missourians from their homes along the Kansas border.

The talks were offered in a relaxed atmosphere, complete with cookies and coffee prepared for the occasion.

Next up is a presentation by the Lecompton Reenactors of the play, “Bleeding Kansas Characters.” It’s at 2 p.m. Sunday also at Constitution Hall.

Lecompton, and the pro-slavery constitution produced there, played an important role not only in Kansas history but also in the political struggle that led up to the Civil War. Local residents are rightfully proud of that role and, with the staff of the Constitution Hall site, do an outstanding job of sharing their story with others.

We’re fortunate to have such an active and enthusiastic group making possible these programs and presentations.

Again, congratulations!

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Feb. 25, 1914: “Arthur Capper of Topeka today formally announced his candidacy years for the Republican nomination for ago the governorship of Kansas. The IN 1914 Topeka editor who made the race two years ago against Governor Hodges is again in the fight. ... Mr. Capper issued a statement: ‘An ambition to serve my native state as I believe the men and women who live in it would have it served, prompts this announcement of my candidacy. ... As I see it, a somewhat herculean task awaits the next governor of Kansas if he lives up to his oath of office, one that is vital to the best interests of the people of Kansas and the political progress of the state. ... I shall make no wild promises, of great reduction in taxes or impossible reforms in state government, but I do promise that if elected I shall look after the business of the state as I look after my own; that I shall do my best to keep out the political grafters and hangers-on; the useless officials, clerks, and boards …”

Leaders find dissent harder to squelch As a wave of protests against government corruption and misrule rolls from country to country, nervous autocrats are using the same formula to crush dissent.

From Russia, to Ukraine, to Venezuela, to Egypt and beyond, there are copycat crackdowns: Arrest opposition leaders on absurd charges, hold show trials, beat — or sometimes shoot — protesters, and silence media that challenge the government’s message.

Then blame a foreign conspiracy for all that has gone wrong.

Gulf states may bail Egypt out in the short term, but in the long term, the country needs foreign investment, and tourists, to flourish. A xenophobic, bitterly divided country is not an attractive climate for either.”

dictators in power in the 20th century. It is outdated in this one.

To understand why, let’s look at the shameful trial last week of three respected journalists in Cairo.

Australian Peter Greste, and two colleagues who work for the Al Jazeera English TV channel, were charged Thursday with undermining Egypt’s national security as they stood inside metal cages in a Cairo courtroom. The three were hauled out of their studio in Cairo’s upscale Marriott Hotel in December, and have been held since, two of them in cold, insect-infested cells without access to needed

medical treatment.

All three, including Egyptian Canadian Mohamed Fadel Fahmy and Egyptian Baher Mohamed, are highly respected journalists. Their real “crime” appears to have been that they worked for Al Jazeera, a broadcast network owned by Qatar.

That Gulf emirate backs the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamist group that dominated Egypt’s electoral politics until the army ousted the president last summer.

However, Al Jazeera’s English-language service — unlike the Arabic service — is widely considered to be a credible, independent broadcast network. “We had been doing exactly as any responsible, professional journalist would,” wrote Greste in a letter smuggled from prison, “recording and trying to make sense of the unfolding events with all the accuracy, fairness, and balance that our imperfect trade demands.”

In its questionable effort to brand the Muslim Brotherhood a “terrorist organization,” Egyptian officials seem intent on squelching any public discussion of how to heal a deeply divided society.

Nor is it permissible to write about grave human-rights violations, such as the fatal shooting last summer of hundreds of Muslim Brotherhood demonstrators at the Rabaa al-Adawiya Mosque.

In the Egyptian version of “you are either with us or against us,” even raising these subjects can mean arrest for treason.

A highly respected academic, the American University of Cairo’s Emad Shahin, was roped into a treason trial of Muslim Brotherhood leaders, apparently because he has written and spoken about the need for political dialogue between Islamic and secular segments of society. This is vital in order to stabilize the country, given that the Brotherhood, despite its flaws, still has a substantial base of supporters. Never mind that efforts to erase it may drive some of its youth into the arms of the real terrorists, salafi groups that have taken root in Northern Sinai.

Never mind that arresting journalists and moderate critics (even liberal leaders of the Tahrir revolution) will boomerang.

That is already happening in Egypt. The hate speech pouring out of official media has further polarized the country and increased instability, without curbing terrorism. That, in turn, will make it harder for the president-in-waiting, Field Marshal Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, to restart Egypt’s moribund economy and provide jobs for its youth.

Gulf states may bail Egypt

Director has calling to help homeless

By Katherine Dinsdale

If the data heads are right and I’ve spent a third of my life sleeping, I’d be willing to wager that I’ve spent another large fraction of my sweet life pie sitting in Community Commission on Homelessness meetings and related gatherings of committees, coalitions and tasking forces.

And always there at the table — certainly through more years of many, many more meetings than I ever met — in his best black “dress” sweatshirt and patient, positive, plainspoken, utterly unflappable demeanor, was the now soon-to-retire Lawrence Community Shelter director Loring Dinsdale Henderson.

Oh, how we made the case and made the case again for a permanent emergency shelter in this town. Oh, how we studied and schemed and collaborated and compared.

It was after one of those meetings that I gave Loring a ride back to his office at the then-downtown shelter. He abruptly asked me to stop in front of the old Carnegie Library at Ninth and Vermont.

He’d recognized on the steps of the building a rumpled jacket and plastic bag of belongings, perhaps the only worldly goods of a shelter guest he knew. Loring bolted out of my car to gather up those items so that he could return them to

YOUR TURN the man who’d forgotten them.

I remember Loring’s words as he got back in the car, “You know, this is really all I’ve ever wanted to do. “ What a gift to know one’s calling and to so delight in it that one perseveres, joyfully, through more than a decade of the necessary drudgery of civic democracy, the thenseemingly endless blaming and criticism from various fearfraught NIMBYs, as well as the well-justified concerns of members of a caring and wellinformed community. Loring did this while holding his “day job,” shouldering the 24/7 challenges of running a makeshift emergency shelter and in those days, before the move to the new location, anyone would agree that LCS was a tender box of crowding, limited resources and populations too closely housed for comfort.

But Loring has a strongly held true north when it comes to human beings. It’s pretty simple to state: Those in need must be fed and sheltered.

Through all the meetings I sat through, that was really pretty much all Loring said.

It was enough, I thank God. And today, thanks to Loring and the hard-working and devoted LCS board and staff, there is a place for food and shelter, a place for getting one’s bearings, for recovering, perhaps, one’s own true north.

out in the short term, but in the long term, the country needs foreign investment, and tourists, to flourish. A xenophobic, bitterly divided country is not an attractive climate for either.

And officials who are frantic to control all information can lose touch with reality.

This, even as the younger Internet generation manages to access information that the regime seeks to repress.

Case in point: Last month, prosecutors investigated an allegation that a babbling hand puppet in a TV ad for Vodaphone was sending coded instructions to Islamist terrorists. Officials from Vodafone Egypt were actually summoned to respond.

Tweeters and bloggers went wild with film clips of the chattering puppet. One English-language tweet by a Mohamed Abdul Fattah: “The Onion is shutting down their website citing unbeatable competition from the Egyptian government.”

What’s happening in Cairo should serve as a warning to other autocrats who use a simular formula for repression: A government that muzzles the media and shuts down dissent is setting itself up for future failure - or even farce - as the world and its young people look on.

To the editor: On Feb. 16, I watched the movie “Jayhawkers”

by Kansas University professor Kevin Wilmott. The majority of the viewing audience was white. Many of them looked old enough to know what happened preWilt Chamberlain to African-Americans in Lawrence. Poet great Langston Hughes is a reference point for this experience.

Prior to “Jayhawkers,” Mr. Wilmott made the film “The One Good Indian” about the indigenous cultural suppression at Indian boarding schools that were created to “kill the Indian to save the man.” This was Haskell’s intention a century ago at the behest of white American culture.

In “Jayhawkers,” the KU officials wanted to be on the right side of history as they pushed Lawrence integration through Wilt Chamberlain. Why is it that so many people are willfully on the wrong side of history destroying levees that Haskell students built imprisoned at Indian boarding schools a century ago? These children were taken for a decade from their parents to remove cultural connections back then. A far cry from the Baker students I see now.

Minority histories are real.

It shouldn’t be so easy to disregard and destroy an area where suffering occurred unless there’s no public conscience.

Mike Ford, Baldwin City

To the editor: Recent concerns in Kansas government have centered around protecting Christian rights versus denying gay rights.

Actually, speaking as a Christian, we don’t have rights per se since we are committed to the Lordship of Christ. However, we are blessed to have rights bestowed on us by our Constitution; albeit, they are slowly being lost to other groups who don’t share the same truth.

Concerning a letter to the editor (“Party of bigotry,” Feb. 18) about why gays can’t enjoy marriage like straight people, I would suggest the following reasons. First, a marriage between the same sex denies that family an opportunity to procreate.

Secondly, even if adoption is accomplished, the child is denied the opportunity to be influenced by a father and mother. Thirdly, health statistics show that there are major consequences of a gay lifestyle.

Fourthly, the cost to society of providing health care to HIV/AIDS patients is very high. Fifthly, societies/ nations that have adopted the gay lifestyle as acceptable, are eventually destroyed from within. Sixthly, God cannot bless the gay lifestyle because it is sinful.

The final reason is the most important: Gays cannot accept God’s message of love because the lifestyle is diametrically opposed to his righteous standards.

Washington — Looking beyond America’s post-9/11 wars, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel on Monday proposed shrinking the Army to its smallest size in 74 years, closing bases and reshaping forces to confront a “more volatile, more unpredictable” world with a more nimble military.

The nation can afford a smaller military so long as it retains a technological edge and the agility to respond on short notice to crises anywhere on the globe, Hagel said. He said the priorities he outlined reflect a consensus view among America’s military leaders, but Republicans in Congress were quick to criticize some proposed changes.

In a speech at the oneyear mark of his tenure as Pentagon chief, Hagel revealed many details of the defense spending plan that will be part of the 2015 budget that President Barack Obama will submit Egypt’s interim to Congress next week. Hagel described it as the first Cabinet resigns Pentagon budget to reflect Cairo — Egypt’s interim the nation’s transition from Cabinet resigned Monday 13 years of war. in a surprise move that could pave the way for Dingell to retire after the nation’s military chief announce his widely serving for 60 years to anticipated plans to run for Southgate, Mich. — president in the spring.

The peacekeepers are all that stand between nearly 800 Muslims and the armed gangs who want them dead.

When the Muslims were forced from power in January, it unleashed a wave of violent vengeance against Muslims throughout the anarchic nation. In the capital, angry mobs killed and mutilated anyone suspected of having supported the rebels. The Christian militia known as the antiBalaka stormed Carnot in early February when the rebels fled.

Ramis, zen master to a comedy storm, dies Writer-director-actor Harold Ramis, ‘‘Ghostbusters,” died Monday. He was 69.

He suffered for several years from an autoimmune disease that caused inflammation and damage to his blood vessels. He died at his home in the Chicago suburbs, surrounded by family and friends, his talent agency said.

His death rattled a modern Ramis comedy world Ramis helped build.

His legacy as a father figure to generations of comedians was appropriately captured in Judd Apatow’s “Knocked Up,” in which Ramis was cast as Seth Rogen’s father, Apatow said, “because we all saw him as the dream dad.”

Maria von Trapp, 99, dies in Vermont Stowe, Vt. — Maria von Trapp, the last surviving member and second-eldest daughter of the musical family whose escape from Nazioccupied Austria was the basis for “The Sound of Music,” has died. She was 99.

Von Von Trapp Trapp died at her home in Vermont on Tuesday, Feb. 18, according to her brother Johannes von Trapp.

Maria von Trapp was the last surviving member of the seven original Trapp Family Singers made famous in “The Sound of Music.” She was portrayed as Louisa in the 1959 Broadway musical and a 1965 film, which won the Oscar for best picture.

The Guzman Federal Judicial Council said the hemisphere’s most powerful drug lord had been formally charged under a 2009 Mexican indictment for cocaine trafficking, an action that could put him on path for a trial that would put any extradition request on the back burner.

A judge has until Tuesday to decide whether a trial is warranted. Guzman, who is being held in a maximum security prison west of Mexico City, could then appeal the judge’s decision, a process that typically takes weeks or months.

“A lot of older people, in their generation, it was not talked about if someone had a mental illness,” said Judith Sweets, president of NAMI Douglas County.

Early intervention Ruth Shadel, a therapist and aging specialist at Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center in Lawrence, said seniors suffering from mental illness should seek treatment as soon as possible because, since they often live alone, they can easily go into a downward spiral without anyone noticing.

“They isolate themselves. They get depressed, sometimes they get suicidal. The quality of their lives deteriorate.

They don’t eat or sleep well,” she said.

ComfortCare Homes

There’s a six-week program that’s unique to Douglas County and helps residents 60 and older develop healthier lifestyles and maintain independence.

It’s called Personal Actions to Health, or PATH, and it focuses on exercise and nutrition.

The program begins April 1 with classes from 9 to 11 a.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays at the East Lawrence Recreation Center, 1245 E. 15th St., and runs until May 8.

Participants will learn about the effects of exercise on chronic diseases, participate in flexibility and strengthbuilding exercises during a group workout, and sample a variety of dishes using nutritious foods. Program instructors will be Susan Johnson, nutritionist at KState Research and Extension — Douglas County, and Wayne Osness, a retired University of Kansas professor of health and exercise.

After the program is completed, participants are welcome to participate in an exercise class with other PATH graduates free of charge, and there are two Lawrence locations available.

Shirley Grubbs, Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department nurse, said past participants have shown improved agility, balance and coordination and increased flexibility, strength and endurance. Many participants also gain selfesteem and new friendships.

The cost is $25 per person, $15 per person with a friend. If a PATH graduate would like to participate again, the cost is just $5. To register, visit the Lawrence Senior Center, 745 Vermont St., or call the center at 785-842-0543. The deadline to register is March 24.

10 rules for parents of young children Larryville Mom

It’s no joke that your life gets flipped-turned upside down once kids enter the picture. Not only do you shift your level of what is considered gross, but several other aspects of your everyday life adjusts as well. Don’t have kids yet? Take this list and tuck it somewhere for later.

Have a kid or two or five (you crazy Duggar, you), let’s scare the heck out of the kid-free people.

6. Poop is a regular topic of conversation.

And you won’t even be talking about your own.

You will talk about your kid’s poop without even flinching or realizing that it’s not acceptable dinner conversation when out with friends. You’ll tell your husband about it, your mother and whoever brings up anything remotely related. (Wait.

Maybe this is just me?)

loses his wife of 50 years, it’s normal to be sad, Shadel acknowledges.

Depression can also be brought on by certain health conditions, like urinary tract infection.

So seniors (or anyone for that matter) should ask themselves one question: “How much is your depression or anxiety interfering with your daily functioning?” Shadel said. Friends can help, too, by checking in on a person who hasn’t been showing up for social gatherings.

Shadel said depression isn’t a natural part of getting older, as some might assume.

“You can age successfully and you can be happy and you don’t have to tolerate depression and anxiety,” she said. “There’s treatment for that.” That treatment is the same no matter your age: therapy and, in many cases, medication.

One of Shadel’s patients, a 78-year-old retired Kansas University employee who lives in Lawrence and asked not to be named in this story, knows what it’s like to be diagnosed with mental illness as a senior citizen. He had been retired for a few years when a tragic event in his personal life sent him into a state of depression he couldn’t get out of.

“I was making myself miserable, and I

was really making my wife’s life miserable,” he said. “I was having fits of rage, shouting, screaming, yelling.

I was beside myself with anguish and pain and suffering because I knew I couldn’t solve this problem. I needed help.”

He was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, put on medication and, eventually, referred to Shadel. Her therapy helped him greatly; they even discovered issues from his childhood that may have been making things worse.

He noted that when he was growing up, people rarely discussed mental illness — “It was almost like having leprosy” — or sought treatment, especially men.

“You always think, ‘Well, hey, I’m a man.

I’m supposed to man up,’” he said. “In other words, if I go in there and ask for help, I’m less of a person. I’m less of a man.”

Almost a decade after his mental health crisis, he still takes medication, sees Shadel once a month and says he’s in a good place, mentally. He just hopes seniors in a similar situation as him get the treatment they need.

“If you’re creating a problem for you, yourself or your family, you owe it to them to seek help, to do something about it,” he said. “Otherwise, you probably are not going to get better. It’s probably going to get worse.”

tions taking walks with some guy or another and having coffee or lunch with some other guy, which I’m sure is innocent enough. But I’ve noticed that these same guys only interact with attractive women like my wife.

My wife doesn’t see a problem, but I know how guys think. I worry that my wife is looking beyond me. Am I worrying about nothing? — Anxious in Davis, Calif.

Dear Anxious: The

‘Boy’ works as movie and sitcom “About a Boy” (8 p.m., NBC) may be one of those rare sitcoms based on a movie that immediately surpasses its source material. At its weakest, “Boy” threatens to become “One and a Half Men.” Fortunately, the show, its writing and its cast are rarely off their game.

Assuming the role played

by Hugh Grant in the 2002 adaptation of Nick Hornby’s novel, David Walton stars as Will, a commitment-phobic ladies’ man w h o s e youthful stint as a songwriter and pop star affords him a comfortable, if idle and increasingly empty, life.

Benjamin Stockham makes a memorable appearance as Marcus, the lonely son of Fiona (Minnie Driver), the strident vegan who moves in next door.

Fiona’s heart is in the right place, but she has no idea that in turning her son into her “best friend” and festooning him in hippie sweaters, she has made him a sissified object of ridicule and a punching bag for bullies.

Marcus needs a male role model, and the hapless Will happens to be handy and available. Both immature men share a breezy chemistry. Marcus is smart and wise beyond his years without the overbearing precocity of many sitcom kids. At times, he sounds like of the voice of Linus in “A Charlie Brown Christmas” and other specials.

Look for comic Al Madrigal as Will’s friend Andy, a former bandmate now knee-deep in fatherhood and family responsibilities. In lesser comedies, Andy might be seen as henpecked, pathetic and jealous of Will’s life of serial promiscuity.

But here Andy is the slightly geeky voice of reason.

fact that your wife wants to be more attractive at work is not necessarily a problem.

A lot of married people enjoy flirting for the attention and have no interest in pursuing things further. However, when your wife disinvites you to a trip to Europe and then stays an extra day, we would be concerned that she intends to party. It’s time to have an honest conversation with your wife about your concerns. If she refuses to explain herself, counseling is the next step.

Dear Annie: I have a big problem. I am only 49 and have been married twice. My first wife passed away 10 years ago in May, and I am still mourning her death.

My new wife of seven years doesn’t think it’s normal that I still

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Tuesday, Feb. 25: This year you open up to an inevitable conversation that you have been resisting. For some, it might involve an identity crisis of sorts. If you are single, you will have a tendency to put someone you meet on a pedestal. If you are attached, the two of you could be in a very romantic period.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) Your first impression of a domineering boss might surprise you. You will want to adapt.

Tonight: Keep a firm hold on your wallet.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You might feel intimidated by someone. This person shares so little that you could feel awkward around him or her.

Tonight: In the game of life.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Someone knows how to get your attention, and he or she will do just that. Tonight: Chat over dinner.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) How you deal with someone is likely to change because of recent events. Tonight: Go along with a suggestion.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You will be determined to have a situation work. You’ll want to brainstorm with another imaginative person. Tonight: Run an errand or two on the way home.

think about my first wife all the time. Can you help me deal with her death so I can move on and live a better life?

— Still Grieving Dear Still: There is no timetable for grief, but if you haven’t moved much beyond your initial stages of mourning after 10 years, it’s time to seek professional guidance.

It is normal to think about your first wife on occasion, but it is not normal to obsess over her, cry daily, turn her closet into a shrine or constantly compare her to your current wife. If you are doing any of these things, please ask your doctor to refer you to a grief counselor.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) An unexpected piece of news could jolt you and force some creative thinking. Tonight: Leave problems behind.

Tonight: Hang out with friends.

Dear Annie: My wife of nearly 30 years and I are having some difficulties. Recently, she asked whether I wanted to go to Rome for a business conference. She thought we could see the sights afterward. I said yes, as I’m recently retired and have plenty of time.

However, a few weeks later, I was uninvited. Last week, I discovered that she is staying an extra day with someone else. She made these plans long before she disinvited me. Yesterday, she told me that a woman from work is staying with her for an extra day.

I’ve never heard this woman’s name before.

Additionally, over the past year, her behavior at work has changed. She has started wearing makeup and nicer clothes. She men-

ABOVE, KANSAS UNIVERSITY COACH BILL SELF RAISES UP TWO PALMS TO SIGNIFY the Jayhawks’ 10th straight Big 12 title following their 83-75 victory over Oklahoma on Monday at Allen Fieldhouse. IN TOP PHOTO, THE FIELDHOUSE FAITHFUL’S SIGNAGE ticks off the Jayhawks’ league dominance.

Jayhawks clinch share of crown

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Bill Self exited briskly out the northwest tunnel of Allen Fieldhouse, hands up, palms extended high, at the conclusion of Kansas University’s historic 83-75 victory over Oklahoma on Monday night.

The fans behind the KU bench and in the north student section stuck around after the 11th-year KU coach’s ESPN interview to acknowledge ever-so-briefly one of the great accomplishments in school history — a 10th straight Big 12 regular-season title.

Though there was no official announcement at the final horn and no trophy ceremony — that will come if and when fifth-ranked KU (22-6, 13-2) wins the crown outright — the fans, who had signs commemorating the feat, were well aware the Jayhawks had snatched at least a share of consecutive league title No. 10.

SOUTH CAROLINA DEFENSIVE LINEMAN JADEVEON CLOWNEY, RIGHT, JOKES with Florida State defensive lineman Timmy Jernigan during drills at the NFL scouting combine on Monday in Indianapolis.

Clowney impresses at NFL scouting combine Indianapolis — Jadeveon Clowney made things tougher for Johnny Manziel and the other potential No. 1 picks Monday.

The former South Carolina star ran the fastest 40-yard dash time of the defensive lineman.

NFL.com reported the unofficial time at 4.47 seconds. NFL Network said it was 4.53. Either way, it was still tops at his position.

Clowney did 21 reps at 225 pounds in the weightlifting workout, putting him in the second half of the defensive ends.

Michael Sam, who is trying to become the first openly gay player in the NFL, posted an unofficial 40-yard dash time of 4.79 seconds and did 17 reps, according to NFL.com. NFL Network reported the time was 4.91.

UConn women stay No. 1 Connecticut stays No. 1 in the Associated Press poll Monday after cruising to easy wins this week.

UConn improved to 28-0 after routing Central Florida and Houston. The Huskies have won 34 straight games dating back to last season which is the fourth-longest streak in school history. UConn will play at SMU today before hosting Rutgers on Saturday.

Notre Dame stays No. 2. The Irish also remain unbeaten after sweeping three games against Georgia Tech, Wake Forest and Duke to clinch their first ACC title in the school’s inaugural season in the conference.

Louisville, South Carolina and Stanford round out the first five.

Baylor, Duke, Penn State, Maryland and Tennessee follow the Cardinal.

Middle Tennessee and Iowa entered the poll at 23 and 25 while St. John’s and LSU dropped out.

BASEBALL

MLB rule limits plate collisions New York — Major League Baseball and its players have banned most home-plate collisions but left open an exception if the catcher has the ball and is blocking the runner’s direct path to home plate.

A new rule, 7.13, was adopted by MLB and the players’ association on a one-year experimental basis, the sides said Monday.

A comment attached to the rule states “the failure by the runner to make an effort to touch the plate, the runner’s lowering of the shoulder, or the runner’s pushing through with his hands, elbows or arms, would support a determination that the runner deviated from the pathway in order to initiate contact with the catcher in violation.”

“It stops guys just going out of their way just to try to dislodge the baseball when they (catchers) have the plate,” Texas Rangers manager Ron Washington said.

A runner who violates the rule shall be declared out even if the catcher drops the ball.

If a catcher blocks home plate without possession of the ball, the runner shall be safe.

However, a catcher may block the plate to field a throw if the umpire determines the catcher could not have otherwise fielded the ball and that contact with the runner could not have been avoided.

“We believe the new experimental rule allows for the play at the plate to retain its place as one of the most exciting plays in the game, while providing an increased level of protection to both the runner and the catcher,” new union head Tony Clark said. “We will monitor the rule closely this season before discussing with the commissioner’s office whether the rule should become permanent.”

The umpire crew chief can use the new video-review system to determine whether the rule was violated.

F Glen Davis joins Clippers New Orleans — Glen Davis joined the Los Angeles Clippers in New Orleans but wasn’t cleared to play against the Pelicans on Monday night because he still needed to pass a physical.

In the meantime, the former LSU star spoke of his eagerness to bring his championship experience from his Boston Celtics days to coach Doc Rivers’ current team.

“I know what to expect. I know what it’s going to take,” Davis said.

“A lot of people don’t know the experience of champagne hitting your face.”

Davis averaged 12.1 points and 6.3 rebounds in 45 games this season before the Orlando Magic, who are not in playoff contention, bought out his contract, making him a free agent.

Knicks give up on World Peace New York — The New York Knicks have waived Metta World Peace and Beno Udrih after buying out their contracts.

The moves were announced Monday before the Knicks hosted the Dallas Mavericks. By getting waived this week, both veterans will be able to sign with another team and be eligible for the playoffs.

Neither player was able to secure a spot in Mike Woodson’s rotation during his only season in New York. World Peace played in just 29 games, starting one, and Udrih had 12 starts among his 31 appearances.

Jason Collins has a week and a half to prove himself to the Brooklyn Nets.

He signed a 10-day contract, one of the toughest deals in sports because it gives nonsuperstars almost no time to impress their coaches and teammates in hopes of sticking around.

With this group, Collins did that long ago: The Nets locker room is filled with for- Collins mer teammates who have already accepted the league’s first openly gay player and his on-court habits, which are the ones that matter most to them.

“Guys already know what to know to expect from me.

It’s like, OK, he’s not going to magically have a 40-inch vertical (leap) and shoot threes,” Collins said.

That made it the ideal place for his historic return to the NBA. Perhaps, as numerous players insisted after Collins came out in a Sports Illustrated article last April, athletes were ready to accept a gay teammate. Maybe Collins would have been welcomed anywhere he signed.

But maybe not. As the bullying scandal involving the Miami Dolphins proved, the locker room can be a place where abusive language can divide a team and threaten to derail a season, to say nothing of the fallout for the players themselves.

The loudest voices with the Nets, however, belong to the team leaders, and they’ve already made up their mind about Collins.

Old teammate Jason Kidd coaches the team. Collins played with Joe Johnson in Atlanta and Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce in Boston, and they are now the respected veterans in Brooklyn.

Collins played 61⁄2 years with the Nets, where some in the organization still call him “Twin,” his nickname when he played for them and reached the NBA Finals with Kidd in 2003 and 2003. One of his first calls when he came out last April was to Kidd.

“You look at all the connections that Jason has,” Kidd said, naming not only Jason Collins’ former teammates but also some who played with his twin brother, Jarron, “and also being that he played with the Nets before, so I think this is a great opportunity for him.”

KU football adds to special-teams staff J-W Staff Reports

Will Powers/AP File Photo

IN THIS FILE PHOTO FROM DEC. 29, 2005, Notre Dame tight-ends coach Bernie Parmalee supervises a Fiesta Bowl practice in Scottsdale, Ariz. Parmalee will join the Kansas University football staff as a quality-control coach for special teams.

The overhaul of the Kansas University football coaching staff continued Monday with the addition of Bernie Parmalee as a quality-control coach for special teams.

Parmalee, a former NFL running back and the father of current KU wide receiver Tre’ Parmalee, worked under KU coach Charlie Weis at Notre D a m e f r o m 2005-09.

Most recently, Parmalee served as the tight-ends c o a c h Parmalee with the Kansas City Chiefs from 2010-12, including one season under Weis, who served as KC’s offensive coordinator in 2010.

“I am very happy to add Bernie to our staff,” Weis said in a press release. “He worked with me for six years and did a great job.

I’m sure he will be a valuable asset to our program.”

Although Parmalee will work closely with KU’s special teams, the Jayhawks are expected to maintain a similar setup to the one they had last season, when specialteams duties were divided among Weis’ full-time assistants, in addition to their usual responsibilities.

Before working at Notre Dame, Parmalee, who had a nine-year NFL career with the Miami Dolphins and the New York Jets, spent three seasons as an assistant coach with Miami. He served as the Dolphins’ tight-ends coach (2004), the assistant specialteams coach/offensive assistant (2003) and assistant special-teams coach (2002).

In other staff news Monday, Weis announced that graduate assistant Kaeman Mitchell (son of KU assistant coach Reggie Mitchell) will shift from working with the Jayhawk special teams to the offensive side of the ball. Mitchell will replace former KU player Kale Pick, who re-

cently left his graduateassistant position at Kansas for a similar role at Texas A&M. The addition of Parmalee is the third major change to KU’s coaching staff this offseason.

In December, Weis hired John Reagan to be his offensive coordinator and offensive-line coach. Reagan, a former KU assistant under Mark Mangino, was brought on board to replace Tim Grunhard, who stepped down as Oline coach after the 2013 season.

Last week, Weis announced the addition of former Washington offensive coordinator Eric Kiesau as the program’s wide-receivers coach.

Kiesau, who has experience at Cal, Colorado and Washington, among other stops, takes over for Rob Ianello, who was reassigned to an administrative role.

The Jayhawks will open spring practices on March 4. Spring drills will wrap up with the annual spring game, which has been set for 1 p.m. on April 12.

Sooners laud KU ‘weapons’

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

With the outcome of Monday’s game hanging in the balance and Oklahoma within striking distance of gutting out its first victory at Allen Fieldhouse since 1993, the littlest guy on the floor slew the Sooners.

Kansas University point guard Naadir Tharpe, one of the few upperclassmen on this Kansas University team, scored 10 of his game-high 19 points in the final 3:15, and the fifth-ranked Jayhawks held off a second serious scare from the Sooners in the past six weeks, 83-75.

“You’re playing against one of the best teams in the country, and they’ve got a lot of weapons,” OU coach Lon Kruger said, asked about Tharpe’s impact. “Tharpe’s such a good player that if you get too spaced out, he’s got the ability to hurt ya.”

Had it not been for Tharpe getting into the teeth of the Oklahoma defense — an act made easier by the threat of Andrew Wiggins (15 points) and Wayne Selden (15) on the wings — the Sooners (20-8 overall, 9-6 Big 12) might have made the Jayhawks sweat until the final horn. Instead, OU’s strong second half, which started with a 25-12 run and finished with a narrow 42-41 advantage, turned into another instance of Kansas (22-6, 13-2) finding enough in the tank to deliver one of its signature knockout blows.

While most of those haymakers come packed with double-digit-point spreads and highlightreel dunks, this one was slow, methodical and clutch.

“I thought our guys battled like crazy,” Kruger said. “And Kansas made big plays when they needed to make ’em.”

As for KU’s crucial mini-runs, one of which turned a four-point Sooner lead into a four-point deficit in 31⁄2 minutes midway through the second half, Kruger credited everything about Kansas basketball for Monday’s outcome.

“It’s so tough here for a lot of reasons,” he said. “(KU coach) Bill (Self) does a great job. They’re so talented. The atmosphere’s great. Those two or three stretches where we just gave them those (runs) are what you have to try to avoid.”

Added OU senior Cameron Clark, who scored a team-high 18 points and chose to point to a more specific shortcoming: “I think the main thing is we didn’t take care of the ball in critical times.”

Each team finished with 11 turnovers, but nearly half of Oklahoma’s came in the final five minutes.

Monday’s victory clinched at least a share of the Big 12 title for the Jayhawks for the 10th consecutive season.

Asked about that streak, Kruger tried to put it into perspective.

“That’s just a phenomenal accomplishment,” he said. “It’s not like you’re doing that in a bad league. They’ve done it in a very good league with a lot of other good teams through the 10 years, and it’s certainly a tribute to Bill, the job that he does and the program in every way.

“There have only been a few longer streaks in the history (of college basketball), so I think that kind of says how phenomenal that streak is.”

KU by four games with just three left.

“We allowed Jerrance to dance for everybody.

He’s a helluva lot better dancer than I am,” said Self, who let first-year assistant coach Jerrance Howard boogie to the “Nae Nae” dance in a giddy locker room.

“We talked about it (grabbing at least a share of 10th title). We didn’t make a big deal of it. We’ll rest up and try to win it outright in Stillwater (8 p.m. Saturday at Oklahoma State),” Self added.

There was no trophy in the building to commemorate the tie.

“I said we’d do it when and if we win it outright,” Self said. “Hopefully we’ll be able to celebrate in Stillwater on Saturday.”

He did concede that, “It’s pretty cool. To get a piece of it or win it outright 10 years in a row means we’ve had a lot of good players come through here.”

KU players Jamari Traylor, Joel Embiid and others, like Self, rejoiced with their arms stretched high, thanks in large part to junior Naadir Tharpe, who pretty much saved the day against gritty OU (20-8, 9-6).

Tharpe, who finished with 19 points off 6-of-7 shooting with five assists and one turnover, scored 12 of the Jayhawks’ final 18 points. He hit a driving left-handed layup to give KU a 71-66 lead at 3:08. That clutch bucket was followed by a tip-in

by Andrew Wiggins (15 points) at 2:44.

Tharpe also scored to boost a 74-68 lead to 7668 and increase a 76-71 lead to 78-71. He calmly cashed four straight free throws in the final 33 seconds.

“Naadir closed the game the way point guards are supposed to close,” Self said. “The last 10 minutes is as good as Naadir has played since he’s been at KU. All teams that have a chance at having a great season have guys that can close, when you don’t run offense and put the ball in his hands. It’s what great teams have.”

Tharpe “wasn’t going to let us lose,” said sophomore Perry Ellis, who had 11 points and four rebounds.

Junior point guard

Tharpe had just five points with three assists the first half as KU led, 42-33, at the break.

“I felt they started to play more on the wings and deny the ball to Jo Jo (Embiid, 13 rebounds, 12 points) as well,” Tharpe said. “The lane was open.

I tried to be aggressive and make plays.”

He now has won three titles in three years at KU. “That’s what we say every year, ‘Big 12 champs,’” Tharpe said of the message coming out of the huddle at practice. “Past teams have been doing the same thing. We’re happy we’re able to do it as well.

“To be home and hear the crowd is beautiful,” Tharpe added. “The great tradition here ... obviously they care about us.”

As far as the game,

Self said, “We were stale tonight compared to Saturday (85-54 win over Texas). That was a noenergy, tired team out there.”

Yet this young team — freshmen Wayne Selden and Wiggins contributed 15 points apiece — managed to eke out a victory on a night the energy might have been lacking.

“It’s the standard here,” Selden, who had 13 firsthalf points, said of winning titles. “You have to come out and compete, and we were able to do it tonight.”

“To win the championship ... it’s a great feeling on the court from start to finish,” noted Wiggins.

Or as Self concluded, “It was a little anti-climactic because we still have three games left in the season. Right now

NOTEBOOK

KU reveals lead apartment donor

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University alumni Kent and Missy McCarthy have donated the lead gift for the financing of Phase One of the Fieldhouse Apartments project at KU, it was announced Monday night.

The exact amount of the donation for the $17.5 million project was not announced. KU recognized the gift during Monday night’s KU-Oklahoma basketball game. The McCarthys were joined in Allen Fieldhouse by Kent’s father, Charles, and their children, Molly, Annie and Charlie.

The apartments, which will house the men’s basketball team and an equal number of non-studentathletes, will be built on Naismith Drive, south of Allen Fieldhouse. The apartments will be named for Kent’s late mother, Marie S. McCarthy. Born in 1929, Marie grew up on a farm in central Kansas during the Dust Bowl days of the 1930s. She attended KU on a math scholarship.

“We are honored to kick off the campaign for this project,” Kent McCarthy said. “We strongly believe this endeavor will help keep the Kansas basketball brand among the strongest in the country, and will be an appropriate benefit for the stu-

dent-athletes who do so much for the university and the state of Kansas.”

Earlier this year the McCarthys, who live in Arizona, committed $1.25 million to KU’s School of Business.

“Kent and Missy’s generosity has made a huge difference at our university, and it will also help keep Kansas basketball a national leader,” KU coach Bill Self said. “We have the best venue, and we will have the best housing. I see a world of positive in this project as we strive to maintain and even exceed what the Kansas basketball program has been achieving. We renovated Allen Fieldhouse, the locker rooms and the offices. We built an academic center and a practice facility.

Housing is an important component as well.

“These things are very, very significant for the benefit, development and overall experience of our student-athletes,” Self added. “We want them to be comfortable and have the same type of living conditions as the programs we’re recruiting against.”

Noted AD Sheahon Zenger: “We encourage anyone interested in joining this important endeavor to contact the Williams Education Fund, specifically Banks Floodman or Greg Gurley. Opportunities exist

“I know we want six and hope for seven,” he said. “I do think there’s a chance we could get seven. There are some teams on the bubble that probably have to do something from this point forward, not in a big way but a positive way, in order to get them on the right side of that bubble.”

they made 26 of 30 free throws.

Scoring in spurts: The score was tied eight times and the lead changed six times. The Sooners would catch up and in the manner Tom Seaver would summon a 97 mph fastball with a man on second and two strikes on the batter after not topping 93 mph all night, KU would produce one of its famous spurts, one of the Jayhawks’ signatures during 10 years of title perfection.

Kansas finished the first half on a 10-0 run that took just 2:30, the second half on an 18-12 run in which Tharpe matched OU’s dozen points.

“The guys who come in and don’t play a lot as freshmen and sophomores and then are really good as juniors and seniors” are the foundation of the program, Self said.

More than ever, fresh-

men are the keys to this year’s team, but it’s Tharpe who qualifies as the most pivotal performer. He won’t always defend the way he did Saturday and close the way he did Monday, but if he can find a way to hold his own against bigger point guards, the combination of Andrew Wiggins’ unguardable drives and Joel Embiid’s monumental presence at both ends and Wayne Selden’s veteran-like drive will give KU a good shot against all comers.

Explaining the decade of dominance, Self said, “You don’t win unless you have better guys than the other guys, and we’ve had better guys.”

Truer words never have been spoken.

And those players have played for a better coach than any in Big 12 history.

Truer words never have been written.
