CEO of Chamber of Commerce resigning

Capitol

pursuits

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Lawrence once again is looking for a new leader for its top economic development organization.

Greg Williams, president and CEO of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, announced Wednesday that he is resigning the position, effective March 14, after determining that it was going to be difficult to find adequate employment in the area for his wife.

“In a sad way, it kind of points to the issue that Greg was trying to fix here with Williams jobs,” said Mike McGrew, chairman of the chamber’s board of directors.

Williams was hired to be the city’s top economic development professional about two years ago. Williams and his wife, Jennifer, have young triplets. Jennifer and Please see CHAMBER, page 2A

A DAY SPENT WITH REP. TOM SLOAN, R-Lawrence, proves that there’s more to a Kansas lawmaker’s day than standing around arguing. Clockwise from top left: Sloan, left, meets with Rep. Diana Dierks, R-Salina, and Rep. Will Carpenter, R-El Dorado; Sloan answers constituents’ emails in his Topeka office; relaxes with a baseball; and listens to testimony during a hearing on commercial driver’s license testing.

A day in the life of a Kansas lawmaker: It’s not all controversy and contention

By Giles Bruce Twitter: @GilesBruce

Topeka — It seems that we hear about our state legislators only when they do something wrong or make a controversial statement.

From the headlines, it would appear lawmakers spend all day arguing.

The reality, of course, is tamer.

Lawmakers debate controversial issues, sure, but more often they hear about things like the naming of highways and issuing commer-

lack gold season is coming earlier and more often for Lawrence gardeners.

Lawrence officials have announced new plans for how they’ll sell the soughtafter, soil-enriching compost that is made from the leaves and lawn clippings collected by the city’s trash crews.

Instead of having two sales a year for its compost and woodchips, the city will sell both products from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. every Saturday between now and midDecember. The first sale is Saturday.

There is a catch to the new system.

Unlike the large sales of the past, compost and woodchip buyers will have to load the material themselves. The price will be $10 for a pick-up load.

The city does plan to have one large sale where city crews will do the loading for you. That sale is set from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. March 27-29. All the sales will be at the city’s compost and woodchip facility, which is just east of the 11th Street and Haskell Avenue intersection.

KU to celebrate student housing groundbreaking J-W Staff Reports

Kansas University has set a construction plan and next week will celebrate a groundbreaking for a $47.8 million student housing project.

The two new five-story halls will each hold 350 students in two- and four-person suites. Construction is set to be completed by July 2015, and the first students will

Chairing the committee, he tries to get his fellow legislators to care about issues he cares deeply about.

The topic on this day is broadband, namely how to get high-speed Internet across the state.

“How much of that broadband is being taken up by Twitter and Facebook and all that nonsense?” Carolyn Bridges, a Wichita Democrat serving her first term, asks one of the broadband executives there to testify.

He says Facebook and Netflix make up about 50 percent of the traffic on his company’s public network. “The vast majority of it is video,” he says.

“There’s a lot of junk out there, but there’s also a lot of commerce.”

Sloan brings up the possibility of allowing veterans to be seen, virtually, by their Veterans Affairs health care providers at any hospital in Kansas. That would

Sloan also notes that he was recently at a livestock auction in North Dakota that his wife was able to watch online from Lawrence.

After hearing about telemedicine and streaming livestock sales, Bridges says, “I never thought about that stuff.” Slowly but surely, Sloan is chipping away at his goal.

Kansas senator attacks GOP foe over X-ray postings Topeka (ap) — Kansas Sen. Pat Roberts’ first television ad in his race for re-election this year attacks his physicianopponent in the Republican primary for posting graphic X-ray images on Facebook, and the spot began airing Wednesday on cable stations across the state.

Roberts, a three-term U.S. senator, is spending about $100,000 to air the ads highlighting recent news reports about his opponent, Milton Wolf, a Leawood radiologist who has backing from tea party-aligned groups. Roberts’ campaign expects the 30-second spot to run at least 10 days, said Leroy Towns, the senator’s executive campaign manager.

McGrew said the chamber board hasn’t set any timeline to find a new leader. Lawrence banker and former chamber chairman Doug Gaumer will lead the search committee, McGrew said.

McGrew said Wiliams’ decision was not unexpected and that chamber board members did have a strong desire for the chamber CEO to be a fulltime resident of the community.

“We’re not a big place,” McGrew said. “Being able to bump into somebody at the game or the grocery store or on Mass. Street is a big part of living here.

will be the fifth CEO for the Lawrence chamber since longtime leader Gary Toebben left the job in 1999.

“In a perfect world, you would like to have more longevity in that position,” McGrew said.

“But I sure haven’t given up on Lawrence or economic development. I think we’ll have a lot of good people apply for the position.”

McGrew and others praised Williams’ energy for economic development. Williams came to Lawrence after serving as a top economic development executive in the Springfield, Mo., Chamber of Commerce.

“His vision and ener-

gy and enthusiasm have helped put us in a position to compete for projects that two years ago we wouldn’t have even made the long list on, let alone the short list,” McGrew said.

During his tenure, Williams increased the economic development marketing budget for the chamber and led efforts to create a new technical education school, the Dwayne Peaslee Adult Education Center, which is under development near 31st Street and Haskell Avenue.

“We’ve made real progress, more progress than we’ve made in several years, toward attracting new jobs to this

Wolf spokesman Ben Hartman said Roberts is continuing a “war on doctors” to avoid discussing issues and to deflect questions about whether Roberts truly can claim Kansas as his home.

“I’ve put my blood, sweat and tears into this,” Williams said of his time in Lawrence. “I’ve made a real effort to bring credibility and a strong reputation to the organization. I have made a lot of friends here, lifelong friends. It was a really hard decision, but I have a family that needs me.”

Grain elevators will not be part of demolition project

By Scott Rothschild Twitter: @ljwrothschild

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

North’s Lawrence’s skyscrapers — also known as the Ottawa Co-op’s grain elevators — aren’t going anywhere.

Demolition crews currently are on the site of the elevator at North Third and Locust streets, but a manager with the coop said crews only are removing the scale house and vacant milling plant at the site.

The large grain silos or towers — which store about 840,000 bushels of grain — won’t be torn down.

“They’re actually in good shape,” said Adrian Derousseau, general manager of the co-op.

DerousDerousseau said the seau said the plan is to tear down plan is to tear both the scale house down both the scale house and milling plant, and milling then build a more plant, then efficient scale house build a more prior to this year’s fall efficient scale house prior harvest. When that to this year’s is complete, Derousfall harvest. seau said the elevator When that is may become a busier complete, Derousseau said place. the elevator may become a busier place.

Recently, the co-op has only used the North Lawrence elevator as a transfer station, meaning that farmers haven’t been directly delivering their crops to the facility. Instead, all crops are delivered to the Midland Junction elevator north of North Lawrence.

Once the scale house has been built, Derousseau said the co-op will consider opening up the North Lawrence elevator fulltime during the harvest season. That may take some pressure off the Midland facility and allow farmers to get back into the fields quicker.

Even if you aren’t a farmer, you may benefit some from the project. Derousseau said removing the scale house and milling operation will greatly improve the visibility for motorists at the corner of North Third and Locust.

Derousseau said he expects new construction on the site to begin in early summer. The improvements will be completed by the beginning of the fall harvest.

Topeka — Kansas Insurance Commissioner Sandy Praeger on Wednesday said a House bill aimed at allowing Kansas to opt out of the federal health care overhaul could jeopardize Medicare funding for seniors.

Praeger said House Bill 2553 would place federal funding for all health care services and health plans under the control of the Kansas Legislature and governor.

Praeger said if state revenues fall short then the funds for Medicare and other health programs could be used to support other state functions.

“It is already happening with dollars meant for highway programs and funds Praeger in other state agencies being taken and used to offset spending for other legislative priorities, caused in part by the reduction in state income taxes,” Praeger said.

In Kansas, there are nearly 450,000 Medicare beneficiaries.

HB 2553 would allow Kansas to join a compact of states to take control of health care policy within their borders.

The measure is backed by the Kansas Chamber, Republican elected officials who have been critical of the Affordable Care Act signed into law by President Barack Obama, and a Texas-based group called Competitive Governance Action that says on its website that it is engaged Please see COMPACT, page 5A

County allows application Poll says Kansans for meteorological towers support expanded

By Elliot Hughes ehughes@ljworld.com

The Douglas County Commission will allow NextEra Energy Resources, the largest wind energy developer in the United States, to proceed in the application process to erect two meteorological towers in the countryside to study the area’s wind patterns.

In December, the commission — City reporter Chad Lawhorn can be reached at 832-6362. Follow placed a moratorium on wind farm him at Twitter.com/clawhorn_ljw projects until it had time to draft regulations on their development.

But at the commission’s Wednesday meeting, the panel ruled the meteorological towers did not fall under the moratorium and allowed the application process for a conditional use permit to continue.

Meanwhile, the moratorium on wind farms remains in place and is currently set to expire April 30.

NextEra, which operates three wind farms in southwestern Kansas, is interested in coming to Douglas County in part because of its proximity to several larger population hubs, Hyte said. Electricity generated from such a farm could be sold at a cheaper cost to cities like Lawrence or Kansas City, according to Hyte.

As far as the community’s reception to the idea of a wind farm in its county, Commissioner Jim Flory, whose third district encases the potential farm site, warned NextEra’s representatives that his district does not appear to be enthusiastic.

Medicaid funding

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

Topeka — Kansans strongly support accepting federal funds to broaden access to Medicaid, according to a poll released Wednesday.

But the proposal, which would make Medicaid coverage available to tens of thousands of low-income Kansans, is going nowhere in the Kansas Legislature.

Republican legislative leaders and Gov. Sam Brownback have rejected expanding Medicaid because it is tied to President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act, often referred to as Obamacare.

“Obamacare is fundamentally flawed and the disastrous rollout is just another Brownback indicator of the problems we will continue to see,” Brownback said.

Under the ACA, federal funds would pay 100 percent of the cost of expanding Medicaid for three years, and no less than 90 percent after that.

The poll commissioned by the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network said that 72 percent of Kansans support taking those federal funds while 24 percent Please see MEDICAID, page 5A

KU chancellor says she didn’t know about UNC student athlete fraud

By Ben Unglesbee bunglesbee@ljworld.com

Allegations of academic fraud among student athletes at the University of North Carolina have sparked national soul-searching about the role of sports in higher education and questions about how such problems could go unnoticed at a major university.

Along with sharing a storied basketball rivalry, Kansas University and UNC enjoy ties as academic institutions. In its long-term strategic plan, KU lists UNC among its peer institutions. Over the years KU and UNC have swapped basketball coaches, faculty and, in former UNC provost and current KU Chancellor Bernadette GrayLittle, a high-level university administrator.

Gray-Little has said she was unaware of the problems while she was at UNC.

The alleged fraud in what was the UNC College of Arts and Science’s African and AfroAmerican Studies department extended back to the 1990s, investigators believe. Professor and former department chairman Julius Nyang’oro faces criminal charges for accepting pay to teach classes that the university and law-enforcement officials say never met.

Hundreds of classes with high student-athlete enrollment are now said to have been only partially taught or not taught at all, according to reports.

Only two people have been implicated so far in the scandal, Nyang’oro and Deborah Crowder, a departmental manager for the Afro-American Studies department.

Gray-Little joined KU as chancellor in 2009 after serving as provost and executive vice chancellor at UNC. Before then she served in a series of

“

I’ve read of the painful revelations about the academic experiences of some student-athletes at Carolina over the past several years. If I’d known of the problems in the Department of African and Afro-American Studies that have since come to light, I would have taken action to address them.”

—Bernadette Gray-Little, KU Chancellor lower administrative posts at UNC, including dean of the College of Arts and Sciences.

As provost and as dean of the college, Gray-Little would have overseen the Afro-American Studies department in different capacities during the time that some of the alleged problems with academics occurred.

Gray-Little turned down an interview request on the subject. In a previous media state-

ment she has said: “I’ve read of the painful revelations about the academic experiences of some studentathletes at Carolina over the past several years. If I’d known of the problems in the Department of African and AfroAmerican Studies that have since come to light, I would have taken action to address them. Chancellor (Carol) Folt and Provost (Jim) Dean have

made a commitment to address these issues and I wish them well in that effort.”

Jay Smith, a UNC history professor who is currently working on a book about the scandal, said that Gray-Little likely would have been too high up the university hierarchy to have known about the issues with student athletes.

“To be honest, I would not expect a dean or provost to be aware of these sorts of shenanigans,” he said. “These things were carried out at a nitty-gritty level that deans and provosts generally don’t stoop to.”

One former UNC administrator, Madeline Levine, has said publicly that she went to then-Provost Gray-Little with concerns about an athlete who she thought might be functionally illiterate. Levine, a UNC professor emeritus of Slavic Please see FRAUD, page 5A

Amber Alert glitch corrected Fraud

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

By Stephen Montemayor Twitter: @smontemayor

Lawrence-area cellphone users heard repeated, loud Amber Alert notifications when a 10-year-old Missouri girl went missing last week, but only one audible alert on Tuesday after a missing Texas teen was thought to be traveling on Interstate 35 near Lenexa.

The multiple audible alerts last week were a glitch, according to an official from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

The alerts are shared through a system called Wireless Emergency Alert, which last year replaced a text message

“

Glitches can arise when it’s the first time an Amber Alert is shared on a mobile device in that area.”

— Bob Hover, director of special projects for the Center for Missing and Exploited Children service that required cellphone users to register online and make an adjustment on the phone itself.

The new system, a partnership among the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Federal Communications Commission and wireless car-

riers, sends alerts to all wireless users in an affected geographic area.

Alerts carry the same tone as they do on television and radio broadcasts, and are sent for emergency weather notifications, Presidential alerts and imminent threats.

“Glitches can arise when it’s the first time an Amber Alert is shared on a mobile device in that area,” said Bob Hover, director of special projects for the center. The glitch is now fixed, he said.

Cellphone users can turn the alerts off in the settings area of the phone. ­—Reporter Stephen Montemayor can be reached at 785-832-7160 or smontemayor@ljworld.com.

That support crosses party lines with 59 percent of Republicans in favor, 75 percent of independents and 92 percent of Democrats.

when most of the chamber’s members are present.

GOP senators used their supermajority to block a Democratic proposal to require all legislative party caucus meetings to be open to the public. Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, a

Topeka Democrat, offered the measure as an amendment to a bill limiting the fees state and local agencies can charge when people request public records.

The Senate voted 30-8 against Hensley’s amendment.

public sentiment is decidedly in favor of using available federal dollars to pay for it,” said Reagan Cussimanio, Kansas government relations director for the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, which is the advocacy affiliate of the American Cancer Society.

The poll was conducted by Public Opinion Strategies and surveyed 500 likely voters on December 16-18 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.38 percent.

In a related matter, Lori Lawrence of

MoveOn, who has put together an online petition to expand Medicaid, was contacted by Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer for a copy of that petition.

Lawrence said that may be a sign that Medicaid expansion was gaining some attention.

But Brownback’s office said Lawrence had earlier dropped off a paper copy of the petition and wanted an electronic copy for ease of storage.

literature who was interim dean of the College of Arts and Sciences in 2006-2007, said in an email to the JournalWorld that while dean she went to Gray-Little for advice about the student.

in the devolution of government power.

“HB 2553 would restore the right of states to regulate healthcare and avoid the disaster that the ACA has become,” said Eric Stafford, senior director of government affairs for the Kansas Chamber.

The bill was brought to the Legislature by state Rep. Brett Hildabrand, R-Shawnee, Sen. Mary Pilcher-Cook, RShawnee and Republican Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach.

was correct: i.e., the student was already admitted and there was nothing I could do.”

“She (Gray-Little) played no role in admitting that student,” Levine added.

In previous media accounts Gray-Little has said through a spokesperson that she did not remember the incident, which Levine said she does not doubt. Levine emphasized her regard for Gray-Little.

“She is a person of absolute integrity and a model administrator,” Levine said.

When she came to KU, Gray-Little’s qualities as

an administrator were also trumpeted by then-UNC Chancellor James Moeser, who hired Gray-Little as provost and credited her office with increasing the university’s research funding. Moeser, now a chancellor emeritus, served from 2000 to 2008.

Another bridge between KU and UNC, Moeser served as chair of the organ department in the KU music school and became dean of the School of Fine Arts in 1975. He left Kansas in 1986 and eventually joined UNC as provost in 1992.

Pilcher-Cook said the health care compact and block grant of federal money would give Kansas citizens their freedom in health care and would give the state the flexibility to best meet Kansans’ needs.

But Gene Meyer, chief executive officer of Lawrence Memorial Hospital, said the bill had the “potential to seriously damage hospitals and physicians in our ability to continue to deliver quality care to those we serve.” The measure is also opposed by AARP Kansas.

Praeger urged Medicare beneficiaries to call their legislators “and let them know that they need to leave the fund-

ing for Medicare alone.”

The measure is before the full House after having been approved

by Republicans on the House Federal and State Affairs Committee.

Other critics of the bill say that it is merely a symbolic statement by those opposed to the ACA because the compact could not take effect until approved by Congress. That would never happen, those critics say, because the ACA would have to be repealed, and Congress would have to cede all authority to the states for heath care funding.

ew things are more powerful than a secret. And, if they get out, few things are more destructive.

That’s the hook of Theatre Lawrence’s new production, “Other Desert Cities.”

“It’s a fascinating, deeply layered play with a whole lot of different themes,” says Carole Ries, the show’s director. “It deals with the loss of loved ones, family secrets, family dynamics and politics.”

“That sets everything off,” Ries says. “Her father says he’s comfortable with whatever she writes, although he isn’t. But the mother understands the damage

that secrets will do.”

The action is complicated by the family’s political leanings. The parents are influential Republicans, while the daughter is liberal.

“It’s my kind of play,” Ries says. “It deals with relationships.

It’s about a family that has to learn how to love and forgive on a daily basis.”

Ries had been looking to direct at Theatre Lawrence for a while.

FINAL FRIDAY PREVIEW

Sublime, heroic and timely works on display this month

By Margie Carr Special to the Journal-World

The art at this month’s Final Fridays is nothing less than sublime, for that was the inspiration for the art on display at Phoenix Gallery Underground, 825 Massachusetts St. Students in Kansas University’s visual arts programs were invited to create a work of art based on their interpretation of the word “Sublime.” The creations are in various mediums including drawings, paintings, prints,

textiles and ceramics.

This is Phoenix Underground’s first juried art show, and the public is invited to join the artists for a short presentation at 7 p.m. when the winners will be announced.

Works of Tom Moore Roger Shimomura, who served as one of the judges for “Sublime,” curated another show that is on display Friday at the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 New Hampshire St. Tom Moore’s solo exhibition moved from the Antecedent Gallery to an upstairs space when the

William Burroughs’ exhibition opened.

Moore and Shimomura met in the 1970s when Moore was a student in KU’s art department. Shimomura was impressed with Moore’s talent then and now. While Parkinson’s disease forced Moore to give up painting in recent years, it did not force him to give up art, and this exhibition illustrates how his work has gone full circle, to the inspirations and subjects of his youth, mixed with the musings of a man in his later years.

“I can’t remember a

For many years, local artist Marty Olson worked with acrylics and painted on wood and canvas, using historic sites in New Mexico as a basis for his creative abstractions.

His new show, “Present Tense,” shows how far he has traveled since that time. Rather than using the built environment as inspiration, Olson was influenced by more spiritual themes.

Concordia, McPherson districts granted innovative school status

By John Milburn Associated Press

Topeka — Concordia and McPherson school districts were granted innovative status Wednesday, freeing the two rural Kansas districts from state laws as they pursue certain education goals.

The districts were chosen from eight initial applicants to be part of the Kansas Coalition of Innovative School Districts, which was established under a law enacted in 2013.

Each district submitted applications and made presentations to Gov. Sam Brownback, House Education Committee Chairwoman Kasha Kelley and Senate Education Committee Chairman Steve Abrams. The three unanimously approved the first two districts, citing their goals and focus on improving achievement.

“

I firmly believe that this is a new day in education.”

— Kasha Kelley, House education committee chairwoman “I’m most hopeful that as the (superintendents) move forward that it will lead to thoughts that will lead to more individual learning plans,” said Abrams, an Arkansas City Republican.

By granting innovative status, districts would be exempt from state rules and regulations in exchange for the freedom to develop strategies to boost student achievement. The districts would operate similar to charter schools but still be accountable to local boards of education and the State Board of Education. The law allows for up to 29 of the state’s 286 school districts to be designated as innovative.

Abrams, Brownback

and Kelley encouraged the innovative districts to share ideas with each other and not be afraid to fail as they try new strategies.

“I firmly believe that this is a new day in education,” said Kelley, also an Arkansas City Republican.

McPherson superintendent Randy Watson will serve as chairman of the board, which will review the other applications for possible inclusion as innovative districts. Watson said the goal of his district’s proposal was to give students not only the job or education they needed but life skills such as character, service to others and involvement in activities.

Many of those presenting to the trio said that they would seek to increase the number of students who had completed up to a year of college credit or industry certification when they graduate high school.

Concordia, for example, will use the flexibility to place high school students in career and technical education situations where they can learn the skills to enter the workforce immediately after graduation, such as the growing wind energy sector.

Beverly Mortimer, superintendent of schools, said another piece would allow students to earn graduation credit for participation in extracurricular activities such as sports or academic competitions that would free them to take advanced courses in math or science.

Turbine order will create jobs in Hutchinson Hutchinson (ap) — The Siemens Wind company said it likely will add 30 new jobs at its Hutchinson plant to accommodate an order for 64 of its 3.0-megawatt direct-drive turbines for a wind farm in North Dakota.

The blades for the Bison Wind Energy Center project will be manufactured at Siemens’ plant in Fort Madison, Iowa.

Workers at the Hutchinson plant generally make the company’s 2.3 megawatt nacelles, but began

making a few of the 3.0 direct-drive turbines last year, The Hutchinson News reported.

The nacelle holds the wind turbine’s generating components, such as the generator, gearbox, drive train and brake assembly.

Not all of the 30 new employees will work directly on the new order, said Siemens spokeswoman Myca Welch.

The plant currently has more than 330 employees.

Besides the Dakotas,

officials at the Hutchinson plant previously reported smaller orders for units in Canada and Peru.

The order announced Tuesday is for a fourth phase of the Bison Wind Energy Center near New Salem, N.D. Siemens also supplied turbines for the first three phases. Installation of the turbines is scheduled to begin in mid-June, and commercial operation is slated for December, the company said in a news release.

The purchase by Minnesota Power is for D3 platform wind turbines, which are modified 3.0 MW turbines that, when combined with larger blades and higher towers, are able to produce 3.2 megawatts of power. The direct-drive turbines have half the moving parts of a conventional geared turbine and 180-foot long blades that generate more power at sites with just moderate wind conditions, according to Siemens’ website.

BRIEFLY Future of juvenile home in doubt

Abortion-rights leader’s last day to be March 31

Wichita — The future of a Sedgwick County juvenile home for boys is in doubt, after a long-range funding solution for the struggling operation died in a Kansas House committee.

Sedgwick County commissioners previously said the Judge Riddel Boys Ranch would close June 30 if the state didn’t provide more funding. Getting short-term funding hinged on a long-term funding solution that did not advance Tuesday in the House Corrections and Juvenile Justice Committee.

The ranch nearly closed last year before the state provided an additional $750,000 to keep it open.

The Wichita Eagle reports that the county receives a state reimbursement of $126 per boy per day, but it has told the state it needs $201 per day to cover costs.

The facility currently serves 32 boys.

Overland Park — A spokeswoman for Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri says retiring CEO Peter Brownlie’s last day will be March 31.

Planned Parenthood lobbyist Elise Higgins said Tuesday that Vice President of Finance Ron Ellifrits will take over as interim CEO until the organization names a more permanent replacement for Brownlie.

Brownlie announced in November that he would retire after serving as the Planned Parenthood chapter’s top administrator since August 1999.

During his tenure, his organization has challenged anti-abortion laws enacted by Kansas legislators and been the subject of a lengthy but now-dismissed criminal case. Brownlie has been the public face of the organization and a key figure in the state’s abortion rights movement.

Brownlie also has been an administrator with Planned Parenthood affiliates in Michigan, Indiana and Texas.

Missing Texas teen found in Lubbock Lubbock, Texas — Authorities have found a missing East Texas teenager who had been the subject of a multistate Amber Alert.

Lubbock police say Nomei “Mimi” Valazquez, 15, has been found unharmed.

Police Sgt. Jason Lewis said the Nacogdoches, Texas, girl was found at a Lubbock residence on Wednesday. A 28-year-old construction worker has been taken into custody.

Eating raw deer meat from a stone slab feels more chic than cavemanish with this appetizer from the winter dinner menu at Pachamama’s.

The Seared Tartare of Venison is not completely raw; venison loin is first lightly seared then chopped, seasoned and formed into a tender, creamy — and not at all gamey — square. The meat is served on a flat slate with a dollop of smoked whipped cream and rustic potato chips.

EDITORIALS

Pay proposal You get what you pay for, it’s said, and Kansas legislators shouldn’t be too quick to dismiss modest salary increases for the state’s classified employees.

S

o far, prospects for a modest salary increase proposed by Gov. Sam Brownback for classified state employees aren’t particularly bright.

In his budget proposal, the governor recommended a 1.5 percent pay increase for classified employees, who haven’t received a pay raise for five years. However, legislative committees have been systematically removing those raises when they review individual agency budgets. When a member of the House Appropriations Committee questioned that action earlier this month, he was told by committee Chairman Marc Rhoades, R-Newton, that legislators would debate the pay raise in a “global” sense later in the session rather than discussing it for each specific agency.

However, Rhoades noted that the pay raise wasn’t included in the two-year budget the Legislature approved last year.

“It’s an additional spend,” he added.

“We are going to continue to strive to keep government small. Some of you like to spend money. I don’t like to spend money.”

That doesn’t sound particularly optimistic for classified employees who probably are among those who would “like to spend money” — and might even give the state economy a boost — if they had a little more money to spend.

Five years is a long time to go without a raise. According to the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics, from 2010 to 2014, the consumer price index has risen about 7.3 percent. What cost $20 in 2010 would cost $21.45 this year. If a state employee made $30,000 in 2010, he or she would need to be making $32,175 this year, just to keep up with inflation. In addition to stagnant salaries, many state employees also have seen their workload increase in recent years because of budget cuts and subsequent staff reductions at many state agencies.

As the economy improves and the job market brightens, the state will find itself increasingly vulnerable to many of its best employees being lured into higher-paying jobs in the private sector. The best employees are likely to go first, which will have an impact on the efficiency of state operations and the level of service they provide to Kansas residents.

Continuing to squeeze state salaries is a penny-wise, pound-foolish strategy. Perhaps legislators simply do want to consider the salary proposal as a “global” issue, but it would be too bad if removing the increases from agency budgets is just part of a strategy to kill the modest raises later.

It’s a great time to be a liberal Washington — The many jaundiced assessments of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act on the fifth anniversary of its enactment were understandable, given that the sluggish recovery, now drowsing through the second half of its fifth year, is historically anemic. Still, bleak judgments about the stimulus spending miss the main point of it, which was to funnel a substantial share of its money to unionized, dues-paying, Democraticvoting government employees. Hence the stimulus succeeded. So there.

This illustrates why it is so sublime to be a liberal nowadays. Viewed through the proper prism, most liberal policies succeed because they can hardly fail.

Each achieves one or both of two objectives — making liberals feel good about themselves and being good to liberal candidates.

Consider Barack Obama’s renewed anxiety about global warming, increasingly called “climate change” during the approximately 15 years warming has become annoyingly difficult to detect. Secretary of State John Kerry, our knight of the mournful countenance, was especially apocalyptic recently when warning that climate change is a “weapon of mass destruction.” Like Iraq’s?

Blogger Steven Hayward notes that Kerry, he of the multiple mansions and luxury yacht, issued this warning in Indonesia, where the average annual income ($3,420) suggests little latitude for people to reduce their carbon footprints. Never mind. Obama

“

Viewed through the proper prism, most liberal policies succeed because they can hardly fail. Each achieves one or both of two objectives — making liberals feel good about themselves and being good to liberal candidates.” says “the debate is settled.

Climate change is a fact.”

When a politician says, concerning an issue involving science, that the debate is over, you may be sure the debate is rolling on and not going swimmingly for his side. Obama is, however, quite right that climate change is a fact. The climate is always changing: It is not what it was during the Medieval Warm Period (ninth to 13th centuries) or the Little Ice Age (about 1500-1850).

In Indonesia, Kerry embraced Obama’s “Shut up, he explained” approach to climate discussion: “The science of climate change is leaping out at us like a scene from a 3-D movie.” Leaping scenes? The “absolutely certain” science is “something that we understand with ab-

solute assurance of the veracity of that science.” And “kids at the earliest age can understand.” No wonder “97 percent” — who did the poll?

— of climate scientists agree.

When a Nazi publishing company produced “100 Authors Against Einstein,” the target of this argument-by-cumulation replied: “Were I wrong, one professor would have been quite enough.”

Climate alarmism validates the progressive impulse to micromanage others’ lives — their light bulbs, showerheads, toilets, appliances, automobiles, etc. Although this is a nuisance, it distracts liberals from more serious mischief. And conservatives incensed about Obama’s proposed $1 billion “climate resilience fund” — enough for nearly two Solyndra-scale crony capitalism debacles — should welcome an Obama brainstorm that costs only a single billion.

Besides, the “resilience” fund will succeed. It will enhance liberals’ self-esteem — planet-saving heroism is not chopped liver — and will energize the climatealarmist portion of the Democratic base for this November’s elections.

Concerning that portion, there will now be a somewhat awkward pause in the chorus of liberal lamentations about there being “too much money” in politics because of wealthy conservatives. During this intermission, the chorus will segue into hosannas of praise for liberal billionaire Tom Steyer. The New York Times says he plans to solicit $50 million from simi-

larly situated liberals, and to match this with $50 million of his own, and to spend the pile to “pressure federal and state officials to enact climate change measures through a hard-edge campaign of attack ads against governors and lawmakers.” The Times says Steyer’s organization, NextGen Climate Action, is “among the largest outside groups in the country, similar in scale to the conservative political network overseen by Charles and David Koch.”

Conservatives should be serene about people exercising their constitutional right to spend their own money to disseminate political speech, including the speech of people who associate in corporate forms for political advocacy. The Supreme Court’s excellent 2010 Citizens United ruling, the mention of which sends liberals to their fainting couches, affirmed this right.

Still, there is a semantic puzzle: What are such “outside groups” outside of? Not the political process — unless the process is the private preserve of the political parties. Liberal campaign finance scolds seem to think so.

Applying their mantra that “money is not speech,” they have written laws restricting contributions to parties, with the predicted effect of driving money into “outside groups.”

This is redundant evidence of why the Law of Unintended Consequences might better be called the Law of Unending Liberal Regrets.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Feb. 27, 1914: years “A second robbery ago was unearthed in IN 1914 the City of Baldwin yesterday afternoon when the detectives secured the confession of two boys who broke into a grocery store and took ten cans of smoking tobacco, five hundred rifle cartridges and a box of twentyfive cigars. Judge Smart lays the fault of these petty burglaries at Baldwin to the influence of college surroundings.”

to be effective, they must take a page from the great master. Amend the bills to require all gays and lesbians to sew a pink star onto their clothing.

By the way, for anyone who thinks this is about religion, the same folks who support these bills because they believe homosexuality is a sin also tend to feel that believing in evolution is a sin. But I don’t hear anyone wanting to refuse service to scientists. Or might that be the next step?

Elizabeth Black, Lawrence

To the editor: This concerns Dolph Simons Jr.’s Saturday Column in the Feb. 22 Journal-World.

There are state legislators who favor a law that would discriminate against gay people in the name of religious freedom. There is a state legislator who would codify corporal punishment for children. And Simons thinks that by honoring William Burroughs, Lawrence might attract “crazies”?

Tom Huntzinger, Lawrence

Religious exceptions To the editor: In conformity with the “establishment clause” of the First Amendment, America has a history of granting exceptions to law because of a person’s sincerely held religious beliefs.

State law requires that each school day begin with students standing and reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. We excuse Jehovah’s Witnesses from such observance because of their sincerely held religious beliefs. Likewise, since World War I, whenever there is a military conscription law in place, we permit pacifists to perform alternate service to their country because of their sincerely held religious beliefs. Whether or not Jehovah’s Witness hate America or pacifists have bigoted views of soldiers is beside the point. We allow such “discrimination” against our fellow-citizens because the First Amendment protects not only religious belief, but also religious practice.

Surely our Legislature can produce a law that will guard all citizen’s rights codified in the First Amendment.

Courts should not have the power to deny free exercise of religion to those of us who have sincere religious beliefs about the nature of marriage.

Phoenix — Gov. Jan Brewer on Wednesday vetoed a Republican bill that set off a national debate over gay rights, religion and discrimination and subjected Arizona to blistering criticism from major corporations and political leaders from both parties.

Loud cheers erupted outside the Capitol building immediately after Brewer made her announcement.

“My agenda is to sign into law legislation that advances Arizona,” Brewer said at a news conference. “I call them like I see them despite the tears or the boos from the crowd.

After weighing all the arguments, I have vetoed Senate Bill 1062 moments ago.”

The Republican governor said she gave the legislation careful deliberation in talking to her lawyers, citizens, businesses and lawmakers on both sides of the debate. Her office said it received more than 40,000 calls and emails on the legislation, with most of them urging a veto.

The bill backed by Republicans in the Legislature was designed to give added protection from lawsuits to people who assert their religious beliefs in refusing service to gays.

But opponents called it an open attack on gays that invited discrimination.

The bill thrust Arizona into the national spotlight last week after both chambers of the state legislature approved it.

Dreadful start dooms Jayhawks

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Basketball coaches like to say that you can’t win a game in the first five minutes but you sure can lose one.

Wednesday night at Allen Fieldhouse, the Kansas University women’s basketball team proved that to be true with an uninspired 76-68 loss to Sunflower Showdown rival Kansas State.

It actually was the first 6:24 of this one that buried the Jayhawks, who opened the game flat and passive at both ends of the court and found themselves staring up at a 21-0 deficit at the 13:36 mark of the first half.

“I couldn’t be more disappointed, more upset, more

frustrated,” a despondent KU coach Bonnie Henrickson said after the loss. “We have always embraced our matchup and rivalry with them, and we didn’t show up and just let them smack us around. I still can’t believe that’s how we started the game.”

Henrickson said her assistant coaches told her the team was sloppy during a portion of its pregame routine. Evidently, that carried over into the game. To make matters worse, while the Jayhawks were lifeless, the Wildcats were anything but that, gaining momentum, energy and outright joy from each layup, jump shot and defensive stop that fueled the incredible 21-0 start.

“Being K-State, you don’t

come into KU without some fire in your belly,” said KSU reserve Ashlynn Knoll, who scored 12 points off the bench, many of them coming during a critical stretch in the second half after KU had tied the game at 57.

Realizing her team was reeling right away, Henrickson called two timeouts before the first media timeout. The first came with KU trailing 8-0 at the 17:51 mark and the next at 16:18, with KU down 13-0. Asked if she sensed any sort of spark during the discussions during the timeouts, Henrickson said her starting five remained flat even then.

“Just a bunch of blank stares,” she said.

Although their lack of en-

ergy and flow caused the Jayhawks to struggle and throw up several wild shots during the first six minutes, their porous defense was what seemed to bother Henrickson the most.

“It felt like shoot-around for them,” she said of the Wildcats, who shot 57 percent for the game, 68 percent in the second half. “We had no defensive presence at any position on the floor.”

Freshman point guard Leticia Romero had her way with the Jayhawks all night.

She finished with 26 points on 10-of-16 shooting and added eight rebounds and seven assists in 38 minutes.

Nobody has yet reserved a spot on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for budding actor Justin Wesley.

Yet the Kansas University senior basketball power forward from Fort Worth, Texas, has certainly received local acclaim — from the 10,000 or so individuals who attended showings of the movie “Jayhawkers” Feb. 1416 in the Lied Center.

“I must be really good at fooling people, I guess,” Wesley Wesley said Wednesday in giving his first public thoughts since the premiere of the picture. He had been quieted by NCAA rules that do not allow him to promote showings of the film, just discuss his role in general.

“I wouldn’t say ‘surprised’ is the right word,” he added of all the positive comments he has received about his portrayal of Wilt Chamberlain in the Kevin Willmott production. “I’m grateful everybody enjoyed it and liked it. I’m glad my family enjoyed it. It was an overwhelming experience, a great experience. I’m just happy about it.”

Wesley, decked out in suit and tie, was man of the hour at the initial showing.

His KU basketball teammates and coaches attended the 7 p.m. showing the night before the KU-TCU game.

“It was definitely a circus,” Wesley said. “A lot of pictures were taken, a lot of interviews I couldn’t do that I wanted to do. But it was definitely wild, definitely a lot of people coming up talking to me. It was good. It was fun.”

He acknowledged it was “weird” to take a seat with fans sitting in the aisles of the packed Lied Center, watching himself on the big screen.

Freshmen to figure in Showdown

Lawrence High senior Kionna Coleman and Free State High senior Scout Wiebe have provided a lot of highlights in the City Showdown over the past few years.

Wiebe has scored 14 points per game over the last

four City Showdowns, while Coleman has topped her with 14.3 points per game.

The Firebirds won the latest chapter, 60-56, in December at LHS to extend their winning streak to nine games over the past four seasons. Coleman scored a game-high 24 points.

“It’s exciting,” Wiebe

said. “I love playing against Lawrence High. It’s one of my favorite games.”

Although both Coleman and Wiebe will leave their mark in their final City Showdown at 5:30 p.m. Friday at FSHS, it’s evident that several of their younger counterparts are waiting for their turn to make a mark.

Free State (8-11) freshman Madison Piper scored 18 points in the first City Showdown this season and is second in the Sunflower League with 15.6 points per game during league play.

NFL tackles tough topic with threat of penalty

Applause is in order as the NFL seeks to eradicate the N-word from the playing field.

But it’s hard to muster more than a golf clap, because too much could go wrong with this.

At the moment, it’s just a proposal. But the Fritz Pollard Alliance — which monitors diversity in the league — believes the NFL competition committee will adopt a policy penalizing teams 15 yards when players use the N-word on the field.

The sentiment is laudable, the gesture appreciated. The initiative the NFL is taking, even though a minor step in the name of progress, is a worthy notion. Because it is high time this derogatory term is plucked from the mouth of normality.

All usages. As a term of endearment. As an expression of anger and venom. As a label for a lower class of being. As a synonym for a black person.

As emphatic punctuation. All of it needs to go.

It doesn’t matter which letters are at the end of the word, an -er or an -a. That whole argument is bogus. It doesn’t matter if I’m talking smack about your mother or your momma; I better be ready to duck.

This problem won’t be fixed 15 yards at a time anyway. And the NFL’s new policy only addresses the end result, not the core issue that birthed it.

Self-improvement is most effective through education, not legislation. If the real goal is better citizenship among the athlete population, if the NFL is aiming for awareness and compassion among its employee base, an unsportsmanlike penalty won’t work. As part of a holistic plan, perhaps. But as a shot of linguistic penicillin, not so much.

Since 99 percent of the Nword usage on the field will come from the 70 percent of the players who are AfricanAmerican, a holistic approach is in order. That begins with educating young people, with lifting their consciousness and improving their historical context. Respect and maturity is learned, not imposed, and this task demands an approach similar to the NFL’s activity on concussions.

“I think it’s going to be really tough to legislate this rule, to find a way to penalize everyone who uses this word,” Pittsburgh Steelers safety Ryan Clark said, according to ESPN.com. “And it’s not going to be white players using it toward black players. Most of the time you hear it, it’s black players using the word.”

Of course, this might not be the NFL’s motivation for change. Considering that this is the same league that not only allows, but also supports, the Washington team using the R-word as its nickname, it wouldn’t be a shock if the motives are PR-related.

Racial slurs are unacceptable, no matter who spews them. But most uses of the Nword are a cultural byproduct.

In essence, the NFL would be penalizing players for cultural expressions, albeit a negative one. That ventures uncomfortably close to condemning a segment of players for who they are and where they are as people.

In that vein, Herm Edwards, an ESPN analyst and former player and coach, is right on the money: The players need to decide to kill the word.

Because although the NFL did not create the N-word, this new policy feels like the oppressor penalizing the oppressed for behaviors born of oppression.

ners, outfielder Jermaine Dye (2000) and second baseman Mark Grudzielanek (2006).

Gordon, who came up as a third baseman and did not shift to the outfield until 2010, has won three straight Gold Gloves in left. The last Royal to win three or more consecutive Gold Gloves was second baseman Frank White, who won six in a row from 1977-82.

“I just truly believe one year we’re going to have four and five Gold Glove winners,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “When you get three on one team, that’s phenomenal.

When I sit back and say five, am I crazy? No, I don’t think so.

I just really think we’ve got the capability of doing it.”

He mentioned center fielder Lorenzo Cain, who finished second in the balloting last

agency after 2012.

“I love the defense,” Guthrie said. “It’s a huge reason I wanted to come back. It’s a huge reason I’ve had the success pitching here. It’s never anything you can discount much. The defense helps the pitching staff.”

Hosmer became the first first baseman in franchise history to earn a Gold Glove. He saves his other infielders errors, a tall 6-foot-4 athletic target that not only can leap to catch high tosses but also digs out throws in the dirt.

“That’s a big part,” Hosmer said. “I want to make the other infielders feel as comfortable as possible because in this game a play can be decided in less than a second. That can be the difference in them thinking about throwing it and rather than just turning and throwing it.”

“I would say what Salvy does in terms of holding runners, blocking balls and making plays at the plate, there’s probably nobody better than him at doing those things,” Guthrie said.

They may not be highlight web gems, but Yost realizes how important they are.

“Those are all little things that no one really thinks about that helps us be better because our pitchers know they can bury a pitch in a crucial situation and it’s going to be blocked,” Yost said. “They know if they give Salvy an opportunity behind the plate, a runner tries to steal he’s going to be out.

“They know if they make their pitch, the fielder is going to catch it,” Yost added. “It’s all a big part of it.”

Gooden available for Wizards after signing deal Washington — Drew Gooden has signed his 10-day contract with the Washington Wizards.

The veteran forward and former Kansas University standout joined the Wizards at Wednesday’s practice and will be available for tonight’s game against the Toronto Raptors.

Gooden agreed to the deal Tuesday. The Wizards were in need of frontcourt depth after losing forward Nene to a sprained left MCL. Nene is expected to be sidelined about six weeks.

Gooden hasn’t played since he was designated as an amnesty player by the Milwaukee Bucks last summer. He had two years and about $13.4 million remaining on his contact at the time. The 32-year-old Gooden has played for nine teams over 11 NBA seasons.

The Wizards also assigned rookie guard Glen Rice to the Iowa Energy of the NBADL.

TODAY IN SPORTS 1955 — Boston beats Milwaukee, 62-57, at Providence, R.I., in a game that set NBA records for fewest points scored by one team, and by both teams, since the introduction of the 24-second clock.

2008 — LeBron James scores 26 points to become the youngest player in NBA history to reach the 10,000-point milestone, but Cleveland loses to Boston, 92-87. James reaches the 10,000-point milestone at 23 years and 59 days, more than a year younger than Kobe Bryant was when he hit the milestone in 2003 (24 years, 193 days).

KU track Class I certified J-W Staff Reports

From the minute Kansas University broke ground on the new Rock Chalk Park track and field facility in northwest Lawrence, KU officials promised that the finished product would be a state-of-the-art venue that elevated Kansas track to a new level.

Wednesday, KU released evidence that the school had achieved its goal, when school officials announced that the track surface at Rock Chalk Park will be recognized by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) as the fifth Class I Certified track on United States soil and will be one of 105 in the world.

Rock Chalk Park will join Oregon, Auburn and Arkansas at the collegiate level, and the surface at Icahn Stadium in New York to rank among the nation’s elite track and field facilities.

Partly because of the track surface, Kansas was selected to host its first NCAA West Preliminary regional meet May 26-28, 2016, which will feature the top 48 student-athletes in each event west of the Mississippi River.

“Our goal was to build one of the three or four highest-end competitive tracks in the nation — a worldclass track that would allow KU to host not just state and regional

competition, but national competition,” said KU athletic director Sheahon Zenger in a press release. “This certification proves that we have accomplished our goals and now have a national championship team competing in a world-class facility.”

In order to be classified for IAAF Class I certification, Rock Chalk Park had to meet several tight tolerances: n The cross slope of the main oval had to be less than 1.00 percent. n The downward slope of the straightaway for the running events had to be less than 0.10 percent. n The lengths of the 100-meter, 110-meter, and 200-meter events had to

be within 0.010 meter of the proposed distance n The lengths of the 400-meter had to be within 0.030 meter of the proposed distance n Elevations and lengths for the report were measured to the nearest millimeter Rock Chalk Park is a nine-lane 400-meter track with a seven-foot jogging lane on the outside of the track. The facility also sports a 436foot (133-meter) six-lane warm-up straightaway located west of the track, which can also be used to run the 100 meters and the 110-meter hurdles.

The plan is for this year’s Kansas Relays — April 16-19 — to be the first event at the new facility.

nervous nobody was going to show up. The exact opposite happened,” Wesley said.

Once the movie started, “I was very critical of myself like I am always,” he said. “The support from people ... I really appreciated it.”

Wesley’s performance received acclaim from the man who recommended him for the part — KU coach Bill Self.

“I told him I was proud of him,” Self said. “I thought he represented us well, himself and his family.

Think about it for a second.

You ask somebody to be an actor who never acted. He was actually performing with professional actors.

The guy who played coach (Phog) Allen is a big-time guy,” Self added of Kip Niven. “The job Justin did was exceptional.”

Self joked that Wesley actually didn’t have to stretch much in portraying Wilt.

“That’s pretty much how he is,” Self said of Wesley resembling the stoic Wilt character in real life.

“I think I talk a little more than that (Wilt character in movie). I think I’m a lot funnier than that,” Wesley rebutted with a big smile. “Coach came up to me afterward and said he was proud of me and congratulated me.

That meant a lot.”

Wesley was happy his performance met the approval of another person dear to him — his mom.

“She said I did well. For once, she wasn’t hard on me,” Wesley joked of his mom, Charlene, who attended the premiere.

Wesley, who will speak to the fans along with fellow seniors Tarik Black and Niko Roberts after Wednesday’s Senior Night game against Texas Tech, said he’s willing to continue his acting career.

“Kevin asked me if I’d be interested in doing it. I told him yes, so if he has any projects he thinks I’d fit in, I’d be more than willing to help him out with it,” Wesley said.

“People seem to think I have a talent to do it.

We’ll see what happens.

I might roll the dice on it (as a career).

“It’s definitely something I didn’t see in theater arts class in elementary school,” Wesley added with a grin.

from Day One,” FSHS coach Bryan Duncan said.

“She certainly stepped up her ability to take a leadership role with the team, which is extremely difficult to do as a freshman, but she’s respected and liked enough where it hasn’t been an issue at all.”

l

Jayhawks honored: KU senior Niko Roberts and sophomore Perry Ellis have been named to the Academic All-Big 12 second team, the conference announced.

First-team members have maintained a 3.20 or better GPA, while the second-teamers hold a 3.00 to 3.19 GPA. l

Turner to visit: Myles Turner, a 6-foot-11 senior center from Trinity High in Euless, Texas, will make an official recruiting visit to KU for the Senior Night game against Texas Tech. He’s ranked No. 6 nationally by Rivals.com.

Turner will visit Duke on March 5. He’s also considering Texas, Kentucky, Oklahoma State, SMU, Arizona and Ohio State. l

On Wiggins: Self spoke about freshman Andrew Wiggins on Doug Gottlieb’s radio show on CBS Sports Radio. “His consistency and his athletic ability are at an all-time high.

I’ve seen more and more every day why NBA people have thought so highly of him. He’s just a couple years away, in my opinion, from being one of the premier players in the world — on any level,” Self said. l

Self on how close he came to taking the Oklahoma State job when it last opened in 2008: “I thought about it because it’s my home (alma mater in home state), and people there are nice.

This was a situation we thought about it for 24 hours. We decided the timing wasn’t right, and we were better off being here. This is where we wanted to be. It was kind of a unique situation to have so much coming at me that particular time so fast. It just took about 24 hours to step away from it and evaluate it.” l

Recruiting: KU signee Cliff Alexander Tweeted this about JaQuan Lyle (6-5 senior Huntington, W.Va. Prep), who completed a recruiting visit to KU on Wednesday: “Rock chalk we gotta get @jmamba5 to commit to the family.”

The country’s No. 22-rated player is considering KU, Oklahoma State, Memphis and Oregon. West Virginia and Providence have also been involved ... Charles Matthews, a 6-5 guard from Chicago St. Rita, on Wednesday committed to Kentucky over KU, Illinois, Michigan State and Marquette.

The Lions (6-13) had three freshmen combine for five points on 2-of-7 shooting in the first City Showdown, but they can probably be counted on for bigger contributions this time around.

and K-State senior Chantay Caron chipped in 10 points for the Wildcats.

KU juniors Asia Boyd (18 points) and Natalie Knight (14) said they could not remember starting a game so poorly in their lives.

“I don’t think even Baylor was like that the last few years,” said Knight, lamenting Wednesday’s improbable opening act.

As well as they played, nobody would have mistaken the Wildcats (11-16 overall, 5-11 Big 12) for Baylor in this one. But for that six-minute stretch to open the game, they looked unbeatable.

“We knew it got that high,” K-State guard Kindred Wesemann (15 points) said when asked about the 21-0 lead. “But we didn’t care. All we cared about was that we were ahead of them.”

Except for a 20-second stretch of the second half — from 6:42 to 6:22 — that’s where the Wildcats stayed the entire night.

KSU’s victory snapped a three-game losing streak in the series and helped the Wildcats avoid being swept by KU for the second year in a row.

Wednesday’s loss was a significant blow to both

KU’s psyche and its hopes of playing in the postseason. With just two games remaining in the regular season, the Jayhawks (12-16, 5-11) likely need to win both and then win at least a couple in the Big 12 tournament to have even a shot at being eligible for the WNIT.

No. 15 Iowa State 83, West Virginia 66 Ames, Iowa — Georges Niang scored 24 points, and DeAndre Kane had 17 and 11 rebounds Wednesday as Iowa State earned its seventh win in eight games.

Naz Long had 15 points on five three-pointers for the Cyclones (22-5, 10-5 Big 12), who have recorded three straight 10-win seasons in league play for the first time.

Iowa State rolled despite playing nearly the entire second half without star Melvin Ejim, who sat because of foul trouble.

Kansas swimmers set school relay record Austin, Texas — Kansas University’s 800-yard freestyle relay team set the school record in the event at the first day of the Big 12 Swimming and Diving Championships on Wednesday at the Jamail Texas Swimming Center.

The KU team of Morgan Sharp, Haley Molden, Chelsie Miller and Allison Merecka placed second in 7:11.99 to beat a 5-year-old KU record of 7:13.86.

“We achieved our goals today in the 800 free relay and I expect to see the same thing happening

tomorrow in individual events,” KU coach Clark Campbell said.

To start the meet, the Jayhawks placed third in the 200-yard medley relay (1:40.63), also setting an in-season best time .

Yulduz “Yulya” Kuchkarova, Bryce Hinde, Pia Pavlic and Leah Pfitzer

represented the Jayhawks in the race.

After two events, Kansas is in second with 66 points. Texas leads with 80 and is followed by KU, Iowa State (62), West Virginia (62) and TCU (58).

The meet resumes today and runs through Saturday.

as a three-point specialist before suffering a concussion that has knocked her out of the last five games, and Olivia Lemus has provided a spark defensively off the bench as she still develops on offense.

“It’s been really cool to see their growth from the beginning of the season to now,” LHS coach Nick Wood said. “They’ve all had great moments, and they’ve all had moments

where they’ve kind of hit that freshman wall and had to fight through that barrier. But they’ve been great.”

Drum has withstood double-teams and has gained plenty of advice from Pope, who hopes to return for Friday’s game.

It was a big change for Drum, who went from a few minutes per game to the driver of the team’s offense.

“As a coach, sometimes it’s hard to step back and

realize, ‘Wait a minute, they are just freshman, and I’m asking a heck of a lot out of them to play 6A basketball in the Sunflower League,’” Wood said. “I have to realize that myself sometimes, but our seniors have done an awesome job of making our freshmen feel comfortable.”

Whether it’s Piper or the trio of freshmen for the Lions, it’s clear the standard of play set by

Wiebe and Coleman will continue in the rivalry.

“I’ve been really happy with their competitiveness every single night,” Wood said. “They never backed down. There was never a moment when they were out on that floor that I thought, ‘They’re not ready, they can’t handle it.’ That never happened. ... They just went out there and just played the game of basketball.”

PG-13 movies that contained too much violence, sex and foul language, change would come.

Unfortunately, that’s not what happens.

Your daughter and her friends might stay home, but most kids don’t.

We, too, wish Hollywood would stop pandering to our most base instincts, but as long as the money keeps coming in, that’s what is going to be out there.

Parents have to read reviews and use their best

‘Thrones’ actor steals ‘Red Road’ New Jersey isn’t the first place you’d set a drama about a stoic cop and an insular Native American tribe. But that’s where new drama “The Red Road” (8 p.m., Sundance) takes place.

Tucked into a forgotten corner of the Garden State, members of the self-proclaimed Lenape tribe live uneasily beside white families, including that of Sheriff Harold Jensen (Martin Henderson). And he’s got troubles of his own.

His wife, Jean (Julianne Nicholson), has recently g o t t e n sober and is entirely on edge, particularly when her wayward teenage daughter takes up with a Lenape boy.

Police descend on the tribal area after the disappearance of a New York University student, sparking resentment among locals who feel violated and invaded because some “rich kid” went missing. Jensen’s role in the search is further complicated after a hit-and-run incident inflames local tensions.

Jason Momoa (“Game of Thrones”) stars as Phillip Kopus, a Lenape and freelance criminal who forges an uneasy alliance with Sheriff Jensen — one based on mutual interests lubricated with blackmail.

A game cast also includes Tamara Tunie as Phillip’s mother, as well as familiar faces Tom Sizemore and Lisa Bonet.

Some may find the pacing a little languid. There’s a fine line between meditative atmosphere building and just plain dull. Those who stick around will probably become smitten with Momoa, a handsome, brooding figure very much at the center of things. “The Red Road” should make him a star.

“Vikings” (9 p.m., History) returns for a second, 10-episode season, and begins with one of the most violent battle scenes I’ve ever endured. If you can imagine “Gladiator” combined with the opening moments of “Saving Private Ryan,” you’re getting close.

Tonight’s other highlights

“Countdown to the Oscars” (7 p.m., ABC) anticipates the big night.

An elimination on “American Idol” (7 p.m., Fox).

Jury tampering on “Rake” (8 p.m. Fox).

April’s wedding is the talk of the staff on “Grey’s Anatomy” (8 p.m., ABC).

BIRTHDAYS Consumer advocate Ralph Nader is 80. Rock singer-musician Neal Schon (Journey) is 60.

Chelsea Clinton is 34. Rhythmand-blues singer Bobby Valentino is 34. Singer Josh Groban is 33. Actress Kate Mara is 31.

judgment.

Dear Annie: Every summer, my sisters and I get together in New York. Last summer, we met at the home of one sister who married into wealth. Although I have been ignoring her occasional criticisms about my hair, makeup, clothes and shoes for decades, this summer was particularly difficult. Late in the evening, she began a long satirical monologue about how cheap and ugly my shoes were. A few of the others chimed in, but I don’t hold it against them. They were doing it to avoid being her next target. After all, they live near her and have to endure her ostentatious behavior often.

I value family, especially now that we are older and two of my siblings have passed away. But by the time I

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Thursday, Feb. 27: This year you often feel like your imagination could be your enemy, as you might have a difficult time focusing on conversations. If you are single, you suddenly might think that you have met “the one.”

If you are attached, your rosecolored glasses could add more magic to your bond.

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) An important get-together will define your mood, and therefore your plans, for the day.

Tonight: Where the gang is.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Know that all eyes are on you. As a result, people could get a lesson in how to approach the boss. Tonight: A must appearance.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Listen to news with an open mind. Seek out more information by finding people who are more experienced. Tonight: Make plans to take a few days off.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Remain playful. A discussion with a partner will point to a dramatic shift in activity.

Tonight: Opt for togetherness.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Others will present unusual ideas that could force you to think past typical boundaries.

Your sixth sense will come out when dealing with today’s issues.

Tonight: Sort through suggestions.

leave these gatherings, I feel disrespected. I have close friends in West Virginia who love and value me. I’m wondering whether I should bow out of these summer reunions and limit my exposure to Christmas only. — Thank God I’m a Country Girl Dear Country Girl: You certainly don’t have to subject yourself to such poor treatment frequently, but have you told your sister how her belittling comments make you feel? She may not realize how much she is hurting you. She may claim that she was “only joking,” but still, give her the opportunity to clean up her act before you take drastic action.

— Send questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or Annie’s Mailbox, P.O. Box 118190 Chicago, IL 60611.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You have high energy working with your solid focus.

Meetings right now will be important in paving your path to success. Tonight: Time to relax.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might want to understand what is happening around you, yet you could find others to be evasive. Avoid getting angry with a loved one. Tonight: Play it light and easy.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Pressure seems to build around a family member or a domestic matter. Tonight: Visit with a loved one.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You will be full of energy. A conversation could start up out of the blue. Tonight: Ask, and you shall receive.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Ask an important question regarding the results of a recent conversation. Tonight: Make it your treat.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You have a lot to do, but you also have the energy to meet your responsibilities. Tonight: It is your choice.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You’ll gain a new understanding. Still, you might want to keep this to yourself. Tonight: Get as much R and R as you can.

Dear Annie: My 14-year-old daughter and her friends want to see a certain PG-13 movie on Saturday. But after I read the reviews, I will not allow her to go. Why does the film industry produce movies that are such filth?

We want movies that have decent content and tell stories that have values without parents having to worry that what will be said. Can’t some producer or film school graduate figure that out? They would be surprised to know how many parents no longer allow their kids to go to the movies, and that means no money in their pockets.

Let’s protect their innocence before they have to see the world’s ugliness passed off as entertainment. — Mom Dear Mom: If all kids truly stayed away from

H

ere in the land of crimson and blue, Jayhawk memorabilia has a value all its own.

Photos of famous players or key moments in historic games and authentic memorabilia are excellent gifts (to give others, or oneself). Framewoods Gallery is both local and up-to-date when it comes to special Jayhawk photos, prints and unique mementos. Consider it a one-stop shop!

I stopped into Framewoods before the holiday season hit, knowing full well that the James Naismith’s Rules of Basketball would make an ideal gift for my husband.

Little did I know I’d have trouble choosing between the different options; there’s the non-framed Rules of Basketball ($42), framed ($125), and even an option to have Naismith’s photo flanked by the rules ($275).

Framewoods has excellent gift ideas in a variety of options and price points.

A panorama photo of the Kansas University vs. Oklahoma State game from Jan. 18 also caught my eye. This photo celebrates the energy of Jayhawk nation and spotlights the oh-so-handsome James Naismith Court. Had I attended that game I would definitely be interested in purchasing this keepsake for an entertainment room or home bar area.

During my visit I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Framewoods also carries autographed photos and basketballs, along with specialty items like the 2013 KU basketball collectable cards and the Leather Head Naismith-Style Lace Up Basketball (a replica of the firstever lace-up basketball).

Dave Seal, the owner of Framewoods, says that his inventory changes often thanks to visits from former KU players. For example, Seal recently had a pair of Wilt

If you’ve been searching for the perfect Jayhawk gift only to come up empty-handed, you would be remiss not to visit Framewoods. With endless options of KU artwork and photos, there is surely something for everyone.

The best part is you can even confirm the perfect matting and framing options for your gift, since that has been a staple service of Framewoods for over 30 years now. This is exactly what I decided to do for the Rules of Basketball — custom matting and framing — which made this gift a real slam dunk in my husband’s book.

Brand meat with KU pride

N

othing proves your commitment to all things KU basketball like searing steaks with your favorite mascot.

The Kansas Jayhawk stainless-steel branding iron, available at Kansas Sampler, just needs to be heated on the grill, over coals or on your stovetop, and it’s ready to mark the gameday dinner with your pride, bringing just a little bit more luck to the table (in addition to your lucky jersey).

It’s a good way to personalize your dinner and prove your loyalty without having to work the colors crimson and blue into the meal somehow. Rock chalk!

Where to get them: Kansas Sampler, 921 Massachusetts St. What you’ll pay: $32.95 About the store: Kansas Sampler (or Rally House in non-Kansas locations) is a specialty sports boutique that offers a large selection of apparel, gifts and home decor representing area NCAA, NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL and MLS teams. While purple items can be

found (and promptly ignored) in this store, it’s a far smaller and less compelling collection of merchandise.

Kansas Sampler has anything you might need/want to prove your loyalty to the Jayhawks. This is also where you go to find a gift for your friend who already has every Kansas basketballthemed item in every color.

While you’re there: Take a break from the Jayhawk merchandise and check out the regional souvenir section at the front of the store that you never seem to browse.

As you might imagine, there are sunflower-inspired gifts, “Wizard of Oz” memorabilia and a small selection of Kansas- and Lawrence-based books that capture the heart of our town and our incredible tradition-rich basketball pride.

— Off the Beaten Buy highlights some of the more unique and unusual items for sale at Lawrence businesses. Have a suggestion for this feature? Send an email to checkout@ljworld.com.

How to build a

SHRINE

to KU

By Nadia Imafidon nimafidon@ljworld.com

Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo

BURNING CRIMSON AND BLUE. These Jayhawk egg candles from Waxman, 609 Massachusetts St., would make cute accents to any Jayhawk shrine.

Here are 8 items you can use to start your own tribute to the Jayhawks

T

he passion of a Jayhawk fan generally extends far beyond Allen Fieldhouse and finds its way into the home. Some make collages of ticket stubs, quilts of KU T-shirts and displays of signed memorabilia; some dedicate entire rooms in the house to our beloved basketball players; and some have a 400-pound Jayhawk in their foyer.

With the beginning of March Madness upon us, it’s as good a time as any to build a shrine to show support for the beloved Jayhawks.

Of course, anything you’ve collected over the years (i.e., photos with players, signed items, life-size cardboard cutouts, pencils they left behind in class) can be added to your space Check Out | Lawrence Journal-World

and give it a personal touch, but here are eight items to provide a solid foundation for fanboying and -girling.

SYMBOLIC

Basketball, $29.99 Let’s start simple with a basketball with a nice Jayhawk plastered on the front. Available at Kansas Sampler, 921 Massachusetts St., it’s good to have a symbol for March Madness and what’s at stake this month. One thousand points to the person who gets a basketball player to sign a ball. That way you can channel the player’s energy during every game.

ATMOSPHERIC

Jayhawk egg candles, $10 each As with any good shrine, it’s best to set the contemplative mood with candles. Available at Waxman Candles, 609 Massachusetts St., adorable egg-shaped Jayhawks make for the perfect team-worshipping addition to the perimeter of your sanctuary. And if you’re into it, go ahead and get one for each of the starting players who are bound to take us all the way (if you want to buy one for Tyler Self, too, that’s OK). No one will judge you for calling each egg by name, as long as no one is around to see you do it.

5

Fight song music box, $39.95 Paying tribute to the team is much more than just visuals. To create the ambiance before, after or during commercial breaks of any game, pop open the Kansas University music box, available at Kansas Sampler, 921 Massachusetts St., and sing along to the instrumental fight song. The box has some space to hold a few prized possessions, including class rings if you’re a KU alumnus or the lock of hair you managed to snatch up after Andrew Wiggins took a trip to the barbershop (don’t tell anyone about that one).

DECORATIVE INSPIRATION

Legacy of KU basketball 3-D art, $139.99 What better way to get through the month of March than to look up at the titles our Jayhawks have racked up over the past 92 years. The dates — 1922, 1923 (these first two Helms National Championships), 1952, 1988, 2008 — as well as the words “titles,” “tradition,” “glory” and “power” standing out among a series of photos of basketball players and coaches collaged onto a 3-D poster available at Jock’s Nitch, 837 Massachusetts St. These are the people who have made the KU legacy powerful and who are the subjects you are paying tribute to as you cheer on the latest and greatest editions of the team.

ight now is about the time you should be scouting out your March Madness gameday outfits because the madness is about to begin.

We’ve styled gameday attire on here before, but for basketball games, it can be a bit different since the games are inside. The weather isn’t a huge contributing factor when picking your outfit.

We recently found a Lawrence online boutique called Sweet Tea & Caviar Boutique (sweetteaandcaviarboutique.com) and picked out a few pieces that would be fabulous choices to wear during March Madness.

The boutique doesn’t just carry gameday gear; the website is full of everything from the cutest baby clothes to stylish plus-size pieces.

We love that it caters to everyone, no matter what size or shape.

Our first outfit represents the subtle sports fan, which is definitely more my style. This is the first piece I picked out from Sweet Tea & Caviar’s website because it carries a bold royal blue color in the form of a hooded cardigan made of sweatshirt material. It is so comfortable, and you can wear it tied or open in the front (we love versatility!). I threw on a simple T-shirt, some skinny jeans and ankle boots

to brave the crowded basketball games. This piece is perfect for the spring weather because it’s not too heavy, but it’s not too light either.

The second look grasps the style of the laid-back sports fan. We chose a KU T-shirt and layered it with a chambray shirt and an army jacket. The outfit is completed with skinny jeans and converse sneakers.

This is an easy way to dress up the T-shirt with some fun, sporty style. Oh, and did we mention the quality of this T-shirt? It’s made of a soft, thicker fabric that reassures us it will last. No sheer material here!

The last outfit we put together was super simple, and intended for the feminine and stylish sports fan. The KU dress from Sweet Tea & Caviar is accompanied by a green utility jacket and brown boots. The dress has cute and convenient front pockets and soft, light-weight fabric so you can easily layer with a jacket if needed.

time to prune deciduous shrubs

G

ardeners are eager to get out and do something in the landscape this time of year.

One chore that can be taken care of now is pruning certain shrubs.

Often, gardeners approach pruning with trepidation, but it is not as difficult as it may seem. Remember, not all shrubs need to be pruned (i.e. witch hazel), and certain shrubs, which will be identified later, should not be pruned this time of year.

Shrubs are pruned to maintain or reduce size, rejuvenate growth or to remove diseased, dead or damaged branches. Deciduous shrubs are those that lose their leaves each winter. Evergreen shrubs maintain foliage all year and include yews and junipers.

Deciduous shrubs are placed into three groups: l Those that flower in the spring on wood produced last year l Those that flower later in the year on current season’s growth l Those that may produce flowers, but those flowers are of little ornamental value.

Shrubs that flower in the spring should not be pruned until immediately after flowering. Though pruning earlier will not harm the health of the plant, the flowering display will be reduced. Examples of these types of plants include forsythia, lilac and mock orange. Shrubs that bloom on current season’s

shrubs: thinning, heading back and rejuvenating.

Thinning is used to thin out branches from a shrub that is too dense. It is accomplished by removing most of the inward growing twigs by either cutting them back to a larger branch or cutting them back to just above an outward-facing bud. On multistemmed shrubs, the oldest canes may be completely removed.

Heading back is done by removing the end of a branch by cutting it back to a bud and is used for either reducing height or keeping a shrub compact.

Branches are not cut back to a uniform height because this results in a “witches-broom” effect.

Rejuvenation is the most severe type of pruning Shutterstock Photo HOW ABOUT A TRIM? Certain kinds of shrubs, and may be used on multi-stem shrubs that have besuch as forsythia, can be pruned this time of year. come too large with too many old branches to justify saving the younger canes. All stems are cut back to 3- to 5-inch stubs. This is not recommended for all growth or that do not produce ornamental flowers shrubs but does work well for spirea, forsythia, pyrare best pruned in late winter to early spring. Examples include Rose-of-Sharon, pyracantha, Bumald acantha, ninebark, Russian almond, littleleaf mock orange, shrub roses and flowering quince. spirea and Japanese spirea.

Pruning during the spring allows wounds to heal quickly without threat from insects or disease.

weight seed-starting medium to germinate seeds, rather than actual soil. The airiness of the medium allows wiggle room for tender seedling roots and the lack of heavy dirt helps maintain proper moisture levels.

Step 6: Plant each seed at the correct depth. Typically seeds should be sown at a depth equal to two or three times their width.

Step 7: Seeds will not germinate if the temperature is too hot or too cold. Different crops require different temperatures.

Cool weather crops like lettuce and kale germinate best in 50-60 degree weather, while tomato and pepper seeds require a minimum temperature above 75 degrees.

Using heat mats beneath seed starting trays is an excellent way to provide the appropriate amount of heat for each crop.

Step 8: Keep the seeds moist, not wet, throughout the germination process. Once seedlings appear, provide adequate lighting to ensure proper growth. Transplant seedlings before overcrowding occurs.

hen it comes to sowing seeds, there are a few tricks of the trade that can help increase overall germination.

Step 1: Read the seed package and do some research before sowing. Different seeds require different conditions for proper germination. Temperature and lighting needs play a big part in plant growth and patience is a virtue. Some seeds germinate in a day or two; others can take weeks or even months to sprout.

Step 2: When stored properly, most seeds will remain viable for many years.

If there is reason to think the seeds are compromised, a germination test may be in order. Place 10 seeds between two moist paper towels; for seeds that require light to germinate, place them on top of the moist paper towel. Place the towels in a sealed bag or air-tight container to keep the towel moist. If less than half the seeds germinate, consider planting new seeds instead.

Step 3: Increase germination by presoaking seeds in warm water. Sow immediately after soaking. Small seeds, like carrots, should be soaked no more than 10-15 minutes. Larger seeds can be soaked for up to 24 hours.

Step 4: Properly soaked seeds will swell slightly. If a soaked seed does not swell, scarify (scratch) the seed by rubbing it across a rough piece of sand paper. Do not scratch too deep and focus on the rounded bottom of the seed, rather than the pointed top portion.

Step 5: Choose a good quality, light-
