The private contractor who built nearly $12 million worth of no-bid infrastructure work at Rock Chalk Park “did not provide a complete accounting for the project,” a city-hired auditor has determined.

But the audit firm of McDonald & Associates is recommending that the city of Lawrence proceed with an approximately $1 million payment that had been withheld from the contractor as questions had arisen CITY COMMISSION about the public-private sports complex.

“Based on audit work, M&A determined that the construction work delivered met or exceeded the established specifications and the costs were compliant with the terms and conditions found in the development agreement,” the auditors say in their report to city commissioners.

Mayor Mike Amyx said commissioners will discuss the audit at a special 5:45 p.m. audit on Monday at Lawrence City Hall. An auditor from the Tennessee-based auditing firm is expected to be at Monday’s meeting.

“I will spend the next few days reviewing the report and I’m sure I’ll ask questions about its contents,” Amyx said. “I’ll want to determine whether it has given us what we asked for. Right now it is just very early to say.”

The report does create a mixed bag for the city. It recommends the city pay the remaining $1.02 million that has been submitted for

Local elections bill narrowly clears Senate

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — The Kansas Senate narrowly passed a bill Thursday that would move municipal and school board elections to November of odd-numbered years, and those elections would remain nonpartisan.

The bill passed on final action by a vote of 21-18. Sen. Tom Holland, D-Baldwin City, voted no.

Sen. Marci Francisco, D-Law-

rence, passed on the vote.

Senate Bill 171 would also make allowance for cities that have staggered terms, LEGISLATURE and those whose council members serve three-year terms, to have elections every year. If enacted into law, it would take effect in 2017.

The bill was slightly different from the version originally in-

Teacher collective bargaining compromise moves ahead

Topeka — The Kansas House and Senate passed nearly identical bills Thursday dealing with contract negotiations between school districts and teachers unions.

Both versions of the

bill are based on a compromise reached in January between the Kansas National Education Association, the state’s largest teachers union, and associations representing school boards, superintendents and administrators.

Trent McKinley. None of the charges filed against Chrisman implies he shot the men.

McKinley said all three victims are now out of the hospital, with the third released over the weekend.

Before Chrisman’s arrest, officers had been looking for more than two weeks for two male suspects who had allegedly run from the home following the shooting.

McKinley said earlier this month that detectives found evidence and footprints suggesting two individuals fled east from the home into the field east of KU’s Oliver residence hall and toward KU’s Ambler Student Recreation Center.

Earlier this month, McKinley said the victims and at least one suspect knew each other. But McKinley could not say Thursday whether Chrisman was the suspect who reportedly knew the victims, as the case was turned over to the Douglas County District Attorney’s office.

The case remains under investigation, McKinley said, as officers con-

tinue to pursue leads and “attempt to identify and locate other suspects who may have been involved.”

Anyone with information on this crime is asked to call Lawrence Police at 832-7509 or CrimeStoppers at 843TIPS (8477). Calls made to CrimeStoppers may be made anonymously, and callers could be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000 for information leading to an arrest.

Thursday night, Chrisman was in the Douglas County Jail on a $500,000 bond. His next court appearance is scheduled for March 3.

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office denied the Journal-World’s request for Chrisman’s booking photo.

payment on the project.

But the report also highlights shortcomings in the partnership between the city, Kansas University Endowment and the private development firm of Bliss Sports II. Among those findings: l The Thomas Fritzelled company Bliss Sports II “could not provide a formal job cost ledger” to auditors. The auditing firm sought access to a job cost ledger in an attempt to verify certain costs of the project. In the absence of the ledger, the auditors created “an estimated job cost ledger.” Auditors, based on those estimates, found that Bliss Sports II did make payments that were in excess of what is being requested for reimbursement from the city. l Bliss Sports II allowed some subcontractors to perform work on the project without engaging in formal contracts with the company. The auditors found Alpha Omega Geotech performed inspection work, and Gould Evans performed site plan and other such work without having contracts with Bliss Sports II. Alpha Omega was found to have conducted work on both the city-funded infrastructure project and the privately funded work to build various stadiums and sports facilities at the site.

The auditors did not recommend the city withhold any payments as a result of the lack of contracts but said: “The lack of agreements makes it difficult to determine if costs were properly applied between the stadium and infrastructure projects.” l The auditor found that the city of Lawrence and KU Endowment and Bliss Sports II had a fundamental difference in how the parties viewed the project.

The auditors found that the city viewed the project as one where the city would reimburse actual costs of Bliss Sports II, up to a $22.5 million maximum amount. KU Endowment and Bliss Sports II did not view the project in that manner, the auditors found. Instead, those two parties “see the contract as a lump sum agreement,” auditors found.

Auditors found there was more the city could do to ensure transparency in future projects.

“In the future, if transparency is desired throughout the construction process, specific audit language should be added to construction contracts to examine all records proving cost and installed quantities,” the auditors wrote in their report. “In

addition, steps should be taken to assure the contract is fully understood and that task assignment is addressed.”

The audit report also left several questions unanswered. Those include: l It was unclear whether the audit included work to match submitted expenses with actual receipts. The audit report references the “attested” construction cost of the project on several occasions. The Kansas University Endowment Association created a process where contractors were required to sign documents attesting to the amount of money Bliss Sports II had paid them for work on the project.

Many of the signed documents were accompanied by canceled checks, but not all. About $1.4 million worth of work by DFC Company of Lawrence does not have canceled checks matching that total. The company is a Fritzel-controlled entity, and KU Endowment leaders have explained that because the two companies were related, checks were not exchanged. Instead, the amount was noted as payables and receivables on the company’s financial records. l The audit did not address several discrepancies in the signed documents attesting to the costs. On several occasions, contractors signed documents saying they had been paid

by Bliss Sports II, when canceled checks showed that they had been paid by other Fritzel-related entities. A previous review found that at least three contractors on the project had not signed the documents attesting to the costs. It was not clear whether the auditor found those discrepancies and omissions to be significant. l It wasn’t clear whether the audit included work to examine whether the infrastructure construction loan for the project was used solely to pay for infrastructure-related costs. The city is responsible for paying the interest costs on the loan.

The auditors were not available for comment on Thursday. Amyx said he expects to ask them several questions about the scope of their work at Monday’s meeting.

“I know this report probably won’t answer everybody’s questions,” Amyx said. “We’ll have the chance to ask additional question, and I know I’ll have some. But I do want people to know that I think this audit process has been extremely important.”

Proposal to hike ag land taxes spawns backlash

By John Hanna and Roxana Hegeman Associated Press

Topeka — A suburban lawmaker’s proposal that would dramatically increase property taxes on Kansas agricultural land has spawned strong rural backlash and nagging fears that pieces of it will pop up in legislation to close a state budget shortfall.

Sen. Jeff Melcher, a Republican from the Kansas City suburb of Leawood, argues that agricultural land is valued for tax pur-

poses so far below market value that it’s unfair to other businesses and homeowners.

He also contends the state is losing millions of dollars for public schools and local commu- Melcher nities are being robbed of millions of dollars more for services.

“Because the farmers aren’t paying, their neighbors are picking up the tab,” Melcher said.

But farmers and agriculture groups see the eye-popping numbers

for potential tax increases from the proposal, which would change how government appraisers determine the land’s potential for income.

The Kansas Department of Revenue estimates the state would collect an additional $173 million in property taxes, while counties, school districts and local communities would take in an additional $717 million, a total annual increase on agricultural land of $890

Professor creating app to interpret black teen’s 1955 murder

million. Increases would vary county to county and by the type of land, and owners would see an average statewide property tax increase of 569 percent on each irrigated acre.

The chairmen of the House and Senate tax committees, not rural lawmakers themselves, are skeptical of the measure, and the Senate committee hasn’t scheduled a hearing. But even introducing such a proposal would have been unthinkable in the past in such a rural state.

“I don’t think the bill stands a chance in hell of passing, but just the fact they are trying shows that we have lost some of our standing within the state of Kansas in regards to the politics of Kansas,” said Donn Teske, who farms 1,500 acres near Wheaton in northeast Kansas and serves as president of the Kansas Farmers Union.

Kansas Agriculture Secretary Jackie McClaskey wrote in a letter to the editor for various newspapers last week

that Melcher’s proposal would be “devastating” to agriculture and rural communities.

Johnson County Appraiser Paul Welcome said the change probably wouldn’t much affect developers who claim an agricultural value on undeveloped parcels for tax purposes. He said that in some instances, a property with a market value of $25,000 an acre is given an agriculture value of just $300 an acre for tax purposes.

Founders of the Emmett Till Interpretive Center in Sumner, Miss., have dealt with numerous roadblocks to commemorating the black teenager’s 1955 killing.

Among them, many versions of Till’s death circulate in the area, and roadside markers at significant sites have been stolen or shot and replaced, only to disappear again.

A Kansas University faculty member is working on an app for that.

KU on Thursday shared information about associate professor of communication studies Dave Tell’s project to create the smartphone app, “Whose Emmett Till,” along with an announcement that Tell will receive the Hall Center for the Humanities Fall 2014 Scholars on Site award to begin developing it.

GaDuGi SafeCenter gets $40K grant Kansas Governor Sam Brownback announced the recipients of the 2015 Federal Sexual Assault Services Program grants this week. Lawrence’s GaDuGi SafeCenter is among the recipients and will receive nearly $40,000 in grant money.

The GaDuGi SafeCeter provides round-the-clock services for anyone in Douglas, Franklin and Jefferson counties who has been a victim of sexual violence.

This will be the sixth year the SafeCenter has received money from this particular grant, said the program’s executive director, Chrissy Heikkila.

“It’s always nice to see support from the governor’s office,” she said.

The money, $39,756 to be exact, will partially fund the facility’s individual therapist, Heikkila said.

“I’d say we treat about 75 individuals a year with that grant money,” she said.

“And that’s ongoing therapy.”

Nine organizations across the state received grant money. A total of $267,572 was awarded.

how the Lawrence market responds. Upscale pizza is a part of the dining market that has some momentum right now. Local chef Rick Martin got the trend going in Lawrence with his popular Limestone Pizza Kitchen and Bar, which opened in downtown Lawrence last year. A deal also was in the works by the owners of Coal Vines, another Kansas City artisan pizza joint, to locate a restaurant in downtown in the former Round Corner Drug building. But that project has been very slow to develop, and from people I talk with, it seems uncertain whether it will.

Medicaid expansion gains new life in Kansas House H

Statehouse Live

ouse Speaker Ray Merrick reversed course Thursday and finally agreed to allow committee hearings on the subject of expanding Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act. Only days earlier, Merrick reportedly had told Reps. Tom Sloan of Lawrence and Barbara Bollier of Mission Hills, both moderate Republicans, that he would not allow such hearings. Sloan chairs the Vision 2020 committee that advanced a Medicaid expansion bill earlier in the session. Bollier, a retired physician, also serves on that committee.

But Merrick was forced to change his mind Thursday when Rep. Jim Ward, D-Wichita, offered an expansion proposal as an amendment onto a minor bill that would authorize the Kansas Medicaid program to pay reimbursements for donated breast milk as a medical treatment for infants.

Because Ward’s amendment also dealt

with Medicaid, it was considered relevant to the underlying bill, and that could have forced a vote on an issue that GOP leaders weren’t fully prepared for. But Ward agreed to withdraw his amendment in exchange for a personal assurance by the speaker that Medicaid expansion would get a hearing.

One of the factors that helped swing the decision, according to Sloan and Bollier, was fresh memory of the previous day’s vote on a bill dealing with teacher contract negotiations. Conservatives had brought up a bill that would have taken away the exclusive bargaining rights of teachers unions and given every teacher authority to negotiate contracts individually.

But moderates offered up a substitute bill reflecting a negotiated compromise between the state’s largest teachers union and associations representing school

of that vote may extend even further.

“To me it was a definite sign that constitutional changes are going to be incredibly difficult, if at all possible,” she said.

Bollier was referring to proposed constitutional amendments that did not reach the floor of the House this week that would change the way Kansas Supreme Court justices are selected. phancock@ljworld.com Constitutional amendments require a twoboards, superintendents thirds majority vote in and administrators.

The shortfall arose after lawmakers aggressively cut income taxes in 2012 and 2013 at Republican Gov. Sam Brownback’s urging to stimulate the economy.

Sloan pointed out, though, that Ward’s proposal did not provide any funding for an expansion. Under federal law, the state would eventually be required to pay 10 percent of the cost of covering those who would become eligible under the expansion.

The bill that the Vision 2020 committee endorsed would levy a fee on health care providers that receive Medicaid reimbursements to cover the state’s 10 percent share. In exchange, those providers would receive the remaining 90 percent of funding that would come from the federal government.

The GOP-dominated Legislature must close a projected budget deficit of nearly $600 million

“I’m not one of the people who are absolutely opposed to expanding Medicaid,” Schwab said. “As a matter of fact, I would have rather expanded Medicaid as opposed to doing the ACA altogether. ... If we just said, ‘How many people would like to expand Medicaid and help those who need increased access to care but are lacking the resources to get typical day-to-day insurance,’ a lot of us would say yes, we want those folks to get access to care. But it’s hard to get 63 people (the minimum majority vote in the House) to agree on how to do that.”

Brownback says Smith brings strong experience at the federal and state level.

Action on Teacher marijuana bill delayed

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Topeka (ap) — Kansas lawmakers are delaying action on a bill that would reduce sentences for the first two marijuana possession offenses.

The House on Thursday returned the measure to a committee for further discussion rather than voting on it or discarding it. Most bills had to be passed by their chamber of origin by today or be tabled for the remainder of the session.

The bill would eliminate the possibility that offenders would face prison time until their third marijuana convictions unless they had serious prior convictions.

Under current law, people convicted of a second marijuana possession offense are charged with a felony and face as much as 42 months behind bars.

Republican Rep. John Rubin of Shawnee said that is excessive.

“It’s disproportionate, number one, and it takes up prison bed space that we should be reserving for dangerous and violent offenders. And, by the way, it does nothing to rehabilitate the offender,” Rubin said.

Republican House Speaker Ray Merrick of Stilwell said in an emailed statement after the session that House leaders decided to delay action on the bill because some members had concerns with its impact on prison populations.

The Kansas Sentencing Commission, which has endorsed the bill, has said that it would free up 46 beds in state prisons in 2016 and more than 80 by 2018. Kansas prisons already are over capacity by 103 and expect to have 715 excess prisoners by 2024.

“I have confidence the issues will be addressed and the bill will be brought back to the floor,” Merrick said in his statement.

Republican Rep. Steve Brunk said he continues to oppose the bill, saying it is inconsistent with the Legislature’s moves to stiffen penalties for using drugs that contribute to the “degeneration of culture.”

The House gave final approval to its version Thursday by a vote of 109-14. The Senate unanimously passed its version later in the night.

The votes were seen as major victories for education groups, especially the KNEA, in the face of concerted efforts by conservative groups to drastically scale back, or even eliminate, the bargaining power of teachers unions.

Last year, KNEA suffered a major defeat when lawmakers repealed the administrative due process rights, or “tenure,” for veteran teachers.

“This strong bipartisan vote demonstrates that a majority of members of the Kansas House of Representatives believe that educators are in the best position to determine what works in public schools,” KNEA spokesman Marcus Baltzell said in a statement following a preliminary vote in the House Wednesday.

Current law lists more than 30 items that must be negotiated when districts sit down with teachers to negotiate master contracts. Besides salaries, wages and benefits, the

would take office in January following the November elections.

Currently, city officials take office in April, immediately following the spring elections. School board members take office on the following July 1.

The Senate action came less than a week before voters throughout Kansas will go to the polls in municipal and school board primaries, which typically draw extremely low turnout.

Holmes said that by changing the election cycle so local elections mirror

gain they had struck.

In the meantime, a special K-12 Student Performance and Efficiency Commission that the Legislature set up last year met during the summer and fall of 2014 to study ways school districts could be more efficient.

Although that group did not officially recommend changing the Professional Negotiations Act, a so-called “minority report” written by representatives from the Kansas Chamber and the conservative think tank Kansas Policy Institute did.

The original Senate version was based on that minority report. It would have required negotiation

only on salary and wages and would have required mutual consent by both sides before any other item could be negotiated.

The original House bill would have gone even further by repealing a provision of existing law that gives teachers unions exclusive bargaining authority for all teachers in the district and would have allowed each individual teacher to negotiate his or her own contract directly with a school board.

Thursday’s actions mean if the two chambers decide to go to a conference committee on the bill — it is still possible either chamber could simply accept the other chamber’s bill — the result will be a compromise between the House and Senate positions, but most likely not any version of the more conservative proposals.

This week marked “turnaround week” in the Legislature, the traditional midpoint of the session and the deadline for most bills to pass out of their chamber of origin.

Both chambers wrapped up their business Thursday and adjourned for an extended five-day weekend. They will reconvene Wednesday, March 4.

state and federal elections, with primaries in August and general elections in November, voters will get in the habit of going to the polls at the same time every year.

“It reinforces the habit,” Holmes said.

Holmes also chaired a special study committee that met several times during the summer and fall of 2014 to study the advantages and disadvantages of changing the election cycle.

Douglas County Clerk Jamie Shew, a Democrat, testified at one of those hearings, arguing that switching to mail-ballot elections would do more to increase voter turnout than changing the election calendar.

The Lawrence school district held a mail ballot

election in January for a local option budget issue.

Turnout in that election was 33 percent, more than double the turnout in the last in-person general election for local offices in April 2013.

Shew had argued that one of the biggest challenges local election officials face is finding enough polling places and poll workers to handle in-person elections. In many urban areas, he said, the cost of renting space from private businesses has been rising, while many school districts

have become reluctant to allow their schools to be used as polling places because of safety concerns about allowing the general public access to those buildings while school is in session.

But the bill addresses that issue by requiring districts to open their buildings as polling places, provided the county election officer provides 365 days notice. Districts then would be encouraged to arrange their schedules so school is not in session on election days.

list includes such items as leave policies, holidays, dress codes and grievance procedures, to name a few.

The negotiated agreement between the four major groups would require collective bargaining for salaries and wages, including pay for duties under supplemental contracts. It would also allow each side in the negotiations to select five additional items from the remaining list, for a maximum of 10 additional items that must be negotiated.

In addition, it would allow the two sides to negotiate any other items that they mutually agree to negotiate.

That’s essentially the version that the House adopted. The Senate version would only allow each side to pick three additional items, plus other items mutually agreed upon.

Efforts to narrow the mandatory scope of contract negotiations date back to 2013. But rather than passing a bill that year, Republican leaders asked the four major groups to negotiate a mutually acceptable compromise. Those negotiations lasted 18 months, until January of this year, when they announced the bar-

In other Kansas legislative action Thursday: l The Kansas Senate approved to a proposal described by supporters as refinancing part of the long-term debt facing the pension system for teachers and government workers.

The vote Thursday was 21-17 on a bill authorizing $1 billion in bonds to shore up the financial health of the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System. The measure goes to the House. l The Senate also approved a bill to allow people to carry concealed guns without requiring them to get a state permit or take training classes.

The vote Thursday was 31-7 and sends the measure to the House.

The bill is sponsored by 26 of the chamber’s 40 members, led by Majority Leader Terry Bruce.

A state concealed carry permit costs $132.50, and a person must undergo eight hours of training to get one.

Gun-rights groups note Kansas has long allowed the open carrying of weapons without a state permit. The bill’s critics say training should be mandated for people carrying concealed weapons.

The National Rifle Association says Alaska, Arizona, Vermont and Wyoming don’t require permits to carry concealed anywhere in the state.

Funding option The formation of a public building commission is a new twist for Douglas County that local voters should make sure they understand.

I

n the name of keeping their financial options open for a couple of looming construction projects, the Douglas County Commission has agreed to establish a public building commission.

Commissioners have been quite open about this move, but some county residents may not understand how the building commission could be used and the impact it could have on public involvement in some big spending decisions. The building commission will be empowered, at the direction of the county commission, to approve bonds to finance any facilities project. The bonds could be issued without voter approval unless 5 percent of registered Douglas County voters file a petition forcing an election on the issue.

Commissioners say they aren’t sure how they will use the building commission but they wanted to keep their options open. They also have sought legislative approval for a sales tax referendum that could be used to raise funds.

The two projects currently on the table are about $3 million in improvements to the county fairgrounds and up to $30 million to expand the Douglas County Jail.

Some commissioners said they would be more likely to use the building commission to approve bonds for a smaller project than for a larger project, but that would be at the commission’s discretion.

The composition of the public building commission is interesting. It apparently will be made up of three members, with each member of the county commission getting one appointment.

That means the county commission essentially will be replicating itself so the public building commission wouldn’t be expected to express any opinion that differs from the county commission’s.

Other counties, including Johnson and Franklin, have public building commissions, so the move isn’t that unusual, but forming such a commission does put more pressure on voters to monitor financial decisions that will affect county tax levies. According to the official July 2014 Kansas Secretary of State report, Douglas County had just under 75,000 registered voters, so a petition to force a vote on a public building commission decision would require about 3,750 valid signatures. That’s a sizable number.

As noted above, it all depends on how county commissioners decide to use this new financial tool. Hopefully, they will use it more as a financial finishing hammer than a giant sledge.

New governor seeks change in Illinois Chicago — The most portentous election of 2014, which gave the worst-governed state its first Republican governor in 12 years, has initiated this century’s most intriguing political experiment. Illinois has favored Democratic presidential candidates by an average of 16 points in the last six elections.

But by electing businessman Bruce Rauner, it initiated a process that might dismantle a form of governance that afflicts many states and municipalities.

Rauner, 58, won his first elective office by promising to change Illinois’ political culture of one-party rule by entrenched politicians subservient to public-sector unions. This culture’s consequences include: After more than a dozen credit-rating downgrades in five years, the state has the lowest rating among the states. Unfunded public employees’ pension liabilities are estimated, perhaps conservatively, at $111 billion, the nation’s largest such deficit as a percentage of state revenue.

Currently, public pensions consume nearly 25 percent of general state revenues. The state owes vendors $6.5 billion in unpaid bills, and more than 1 million people have left Illinois for less dysfunctional states in the last 15 years. Debt per resident is about $24,989, compared with $7,094 in neighboring Indiana.

Four of the previous nine governors went to prison, so, Rauner says, “people know we’ve had bad people in charge.” Bad but routine practices are astonishing.

George Will

“

Rauner, 58, won his first elective office by promising to change Illinois’ political culture of one-party rule by entrenched politicians subservient to publicsector unions.”

Some legislators practice law, specializing in real estate tax appeals: They are paid a portion of what they save clients by reducing the clients’ bills under the laws the legislators have written.

Rauner says previous governors from both parties have been complicit in the unionization of about 93 percent of government employees. Unionization began during the 14 years (19771991) of Republican Gov. Jim Thompson. Gov. Rod Blagojevich, now an inmate, instituted “card check” unionization. Rauner says union organizers would tell individuals: Sign the card or else — we know where your wife works and your children go to school.

Rauner is a tall, confident, relaxed man with a powerful voice and a plan to break “a totally rigged system.” The plan includes structural re-

forms necessary to enable lasting policy reforms.

By executive order, Rauner has stopped the government from collecting for unions “fair share” fees from state employees who reject joining a union. This, he says, violates First Amendment principles by compelling people to subsidize speech with which they disagree. The unions might regret challenging this in federal court: If the case reaches the Supreme Court, which might be ready to overturn the 1977 decision that upheld “fair shares,” this would end the practice nationwide.

Rauner hopes to ban, as some states do, public employees’ unions from making political contributions, whereby they elect their employers with whom they negotiate their compensation. Rauner notes that an owner of a small firm that does business with Illinois’ government is forbidden to make political contributions.

Rauner also hopes to enable counties and local jurisdictions to adopt right-to-work laws, thereby attracting business that will locate only where there are such laws.

He hopes the Legislature will empower voters to ratify changes to the state constitutional provision that says public pensions can never be “diminished or impaired.” He also proposes shifting state employees from unaffordable defined benefit plans to a more affordable plan for the state.

Furthermore, he hopes to end practices that now have more than 11,000 retirees receiving six-figure pensions.

would impose term limits on state legislators, ending the careerism on which the corrupt system depends. This would rile Democrat Michael Madigan, who was elected to the Legislature in 1970 and has been speaker of the House for all but two years since 1983.

But Madigan might want the state’s crisis tamed in case his daughter, Lisa, currently Illinois’ attorney general, chooses to run for governor.

Democrats have vetoproof majorities in both houses of the Legislature, and redistricting has entrenched incumbents. Democrats do, however, fear being challenged in primaries by unions punishing anyone disobedient. A question is whether reform-minded Democratic donors might protect Democrats.

By allowing a temporary tax increase to actually be temporary — to lapse — Rauner increased his leverage with the Legislature, which lusts for revenues not swallowed by pensions. Chicago’s parlous fiscal condition also gives Rauner leverage with his friend Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who has leverage with many Democratic legislators.

An Illinois governor (Adlai Stevenson) once said, “Cleanliness is next to godliness, except in the Illinois Legislature, where it is next to impossible.” If Rauner emancipates Illinois from government organized, through its employees’ unions, as an interest group that lobbies itself for perpetual growth, so can other states. And the nation.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Feb. 27, 1915: “The Lawrence fire department is now one of the years most complete and efficient ago motor departments in the IN 1915 state. All of the apparatus used by them is now motor although one team of horses will be kept at the station for emergency. The department now consists of the Chief’s Car, a Ford, recently purchased by the Fire Department, the Chemical Car purchased by the fire department last fall, and the latest addition, which arrived and was unloaded today, is the large fire truck of combination hose and ladder. The last piece of apparatus was purchased by the city commissioners for the city department.”

Texas judge endorses merit selection

By Lawton R. Nussz

Some members of the legislative and executive branches of Kansas government have publicly expressed their admiration for many “things Texan.”

For example, they acclaim Gov. Rick Perry’s conservative leadership and praise Texas’ lack of a state income tax. Their high regard for our southerly neighbor may explain why our legislature is considering whether Kansas should switch to Texas’ system for selecting Supreme Court justices. Texas procures justices through statewide elections.

Perhaps those admirers of the Lone Star State who want to turn Kansas’ 57-year-old merit selection system into Texas-style elections should carefully consider the opinion of the former chief jus- Nuss tice of the Texas Supreme Court. Wallace Jefferson’s views were published last month in the Dallas Morning News.

Jefferson is alarmed about the sudden increase in spending by special interest groups to influence state judicial elections. This spending promotes a perception “that justice is for sale,” which in turn “undermines the public’s trust in impartial courts.” According to Jefferson, these political marketing campaigns do not emphasize judges’ merit. Instead they “seek

YOUR TURN to pack courts with judges who will advance a particular agenda.” As a result, the people believe they have no neutral forum to vindicate their rights.

Jefferson speaks with firsthand, conservative-credentialed, in-depth knowledge of elections for Supreme Court justices. He was appointed to the Texas high court by Gov. Rick Perry in 2001 and won a statewide election the following year. In 2004, he was appointed chief justice. He later won statewide elections for this office before he voluntarily left the court in 2013. Accordingly, it says a lot when this experienced jurist so publicly opposes electing justices.

The former chief justice essentially rejects yet another proposed change the Kansas Legislature is considering for selecting our state’s justices. Replacing our time-tested merit selection system with the so-called “federal model” will permit the governor to choose whomever he wants, followed

by Senate confirmation.

Rather than embracing the federal solution, Jefferson supports merit selection. As he describes, “This method, used by 23 states to select their top judges, gives a nonpartisan commission the responsibility to evaluate the objective qualifications of judicial candidates and make recommendations to the governor for appointment.” Kansas is one of those 23 states.

I agree with my Texas colleague.

In Kansas, merit selection is a healthy

competition that compares side-byside the qualifications of numerous applicants. Their names and qualifications are made public, and the selection process itself is open for Kansans to see. Politics and its ever-increasing money play no role.

But under the federal solution, only the name of the governor’s appointee is made known. Accordingly, this model gives neither the people of Kansas — nor even the Senate — an opportunity to compare the appointee’s qualifications to those of anyone else. So, unlike merit selection, which establishes the appointee was “one of the best” of all who applied, Senate confirmation of an appointee only establishes he or she was the “best of the one” presented.

Some claim merit selection is an undemocratic process because the people allegedly play no part and it produces justices who are unaccountable. Actually, the people added it to the Kansas Constitution in 1958 with a voter approval of nearly 60 percent.

This has resulted in the people voting in statewide elections every six years on whether to retain a particular justice. This past November approximately 400,000 Kansans voted to keep my two colleagues who were listed on the ballot. Under this “undemocratic” process, hundreds of thousands of Kansans will get to vote on additional “unaccountable” justices in 2016.

Let’s keep our system.

Mother’s cold, neglectful behavior worrisome Dear Annie: I’ve been married to “Lily” for 15 years, and we have two teenagers. We’ve built a good life. But Lily is an unhappy person. And while I’ve not been an angel, she never acknowledges that her unhappiness contributes to our problems. She walks around with a chip on her shoulder.

Lily is a stay-at-home mom, but she does no cooking and the house is a mess. She’s made it clear that when I want to speak to her, I need to do it when she’s not reading, surfing the Internet or watching TV. Even though I have to get up at 4 a.m., she insists on doing puzzles in bed with the light on. When I return home, she never greets me. I have to go over to the sofa where she is sitting in order to give her a kiss hello, which annoys her because I’m disturbing her

TV watching.

When Lily is immersed in a project (family genealogy, high school reunion, whatever), she neglects the entire family and sees nothing wrong with it.

While she does not want me associating with any friends I had prior to our marriage, she regularly entertains her exhusband (when I’m out of town), dresses up for him and cooks dinner for him. Yet she is outrageously jealous of any

Is Frank Underwood overrated, or is it me?

Overwrought, over-serious and seriously overrated, “House of Cards” returns for a third season on Netflix. Stars Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright return, grimly determined.

Since Netflix has no advertisers and doesn’t release viewership figures, we have to accept its word that “Cards” is a “hit.”

It has been brilliant at parlaying the buzz for the show into hype for the streaming service.

Those seeking a little levity with their “Cards” fixation can check out the “Sesame Street” mash-up of the Netflix series and the Three Little Pigs at this very amusing link: youtube.com/ watch?v=92NXMtVtv8o.

O After its Wednesday night premiere, “The Amazing Race” (7 p.m., CBS) moves to its regular slot tonight. NBC repeats the second season opener of its hospital drama “The Night Shift” (7 p.m.,), followed by a two-hour “Dateline” (8 p.m.).

Not seen tonight, “Grimm” has been renewed by the network.

After airing the 13th and final episode of its first season, the jury remains out on the comic book-inspired “Constantine.”

O Viewers who can’t get enough cute, heartwarming sentimentality should not miss “Unlikely Animal Friends” (9 p.m., Nat Geo Wild), returning with more tales of curious critter tandems. First up: a frisky two-legged Chihuahua and a maternal chicken become best buds. This follows a new season of tough love and pack leadership from “Cesar 911” (8 p.m., Nat Geo Wild).

Tonight’s other highlights O Terry Crews hosts “World’s Funniest Fails” (7 p.m., Fox).

O A suspect in a diamond robbery escapes on “Hawaii Five-0” (8 p.m., CBS).

O Performing at a religious rite of passage may be the wrong move on “Glee” (8 p.m., Fox).

O Sportswear with a difference on “Shark Tank” (8 p.m., ABC).

female I associate with, even a colleague.

I could barely tolerate this when Lily was on antidepressants, but she stopped a year ago, and things got worse. She’d scream at me and our youngest daughter for no reason. She became paranoid that I was having an affair and, with no evidence, declared herself a victim of infidelity and asked for a divorce.

So I met with a divorce lawyer and was surprised to hear from a large number of friends and family who were past targets of Lily’s screaming fits and were willing to say so in court. I’ve asked Lily to go for counseling, but she refuses. She stopped seeing the last counselor when he said she needed to work on herself. Things have settled down because she’s on another project and ignoring us. But I worry

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Friday, Feb. 27: This year you switch back and forth from being highly intellectual to being very moody. Others often don’t know who they are speaking to, as your temperament is subject to big swings. You are very energetic and hard to stop. If you are single, you meet a lot of people with ease. Keep dating until you meet Mr. or Ms. Right. If you are attached, your significant other will evolve into a more caring and optimistic person.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) +++ You could be very touchy this morning, and you’ll let others know. Listen to your sixth sense, especially as you might have to backtrack and make amends.

Tonight: Get home ASAP. Taurus (April 20-May 20) +++++ You know what words to say and how to say them. Tonight: Hang out with friends.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ++++ You could be exhausted by the mere idea of everything that needs to be handled. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ++++ You have an opportunity to reach out to someone you really care about. Tonight: Listen to great music.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) +++ Use your instincts with a partner. Listen to what this person

about what she’s doing to our youngest daughter. Would it be wrong to research how to have her committed? -- Frightened for My Girls Dear Frightened: That seems extreme.

Lily sounds severely depressed and possibly bipolar. The right medication and therapy could do wonders for her, but she has to be willing.

Your girls are nearly adults. A better option for you might be divorce and custody. A judge could mandate therapy for Lily as a condition of seeing her children.

Meanwhile, please contact the National Alliance on Mental Illness (nami.org) for information and referrals.

says, as he or she has more insight than you do. Tonight: Say “yes.”

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ++++ You might want to pull in closer in a certain friendship.

Tonight: TGIF with the gang.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ++++ You could be taken aback by someone’s anger. Be true to your image. Tonight: Meet up with pals to start the weekend.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ++++ Try to detach, especially if you feel as if a lot of friction is surrounding you. Tonight: Try a new spot with a close friend.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ++++ A partner has a way of taking control whenever he or she feels like it, and today is no different. Tonight: Decide where you’ll have the most fun.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ++++ You could be more in tune with a situation than the other party involved would like you to be. Stay centered. Tonight: Accept an invitation.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) +++ You have a way of making an impression on others. Tonight: Just relax.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ++++ You might want to ask more questions before you concede a point. Tonight: Let fun happen.

Homeland Security debate sees progress Washington — Sounding retreat, House Republicans agreed Thursday to push short-term funding to prevent a partial shutdown at the Homeland Security Department while leaving in place Obama administration immigration policies they have vowed to repeal.

“The speaker’s pretty adamant that he’s not going to shut down Homeland Security, especially in light of the Mall of America and in light of what’s happened in New York,” said Rep. Dennis Ross., R-Fla. Ross and other Republicans said legislation to fund DHS for three weeks would be put to a vote in the House on Friday.

Senate Democratic officials indicated they would agree to the measure, and predicted President Barack Obama would sign the measure, averting a partial shutdown of an agency with major anti-terrorism responsibilities.

“Does anyone really think Washington needs yet another partisan fight? Particularly a fight around the Internet, one of the greatest engines of economic growth, investment and innovation in history?” said Jim Cicconi, AT&T’s senior executive vice president for external and legislative affairs.

Net neutrality is the idea that websites or videos load at about the same speed. That means you won’t be more inclined to watch a particular show on Amazon Prime instead of on Netflix because Amazon has struck a deal with your service provider to load its data faster.

“Today is a red-letter day for Internet freedom,” said FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler, whose remarks at Thursday’s meeting frequently prompted applause by Internet activists in the audience.

President Barack Obama, who had come out in favor of net neutrality in the fall, portrayed the decision as a victory for democracy in the digital age. In an online letter, he thanked the millions who wrote to the FCC and spoke out on social media in support of the change.

“Today’s FCC decision will protect innovation and create a level playing field for the next generation of entrepreneurs — and it wouldn’t have happened without Americans like you,” he wrote.

Washington — Internet activists declared victory over the nation’s big cable companies Thursday, after the Federal Communications Commission voted to impose the toughest rules yet on broadband service to prevent companies like Comcast, Verizon and AT&T from creating paid fast lanes and slowing or blocking web traffic.

The 3-2 vote ushered in a new era of government oversight for an industry that has seen relatively little. It represents the biggest regulatory shakeup to telecommunications providers in almost two decades.

The new rules require that any company providing a broadband connection to your home or phone must act in the “public interest” and refrain from using “unjust or unreasonable” business practices. The goal is to prevent providers from striking deals with content providers like Google, Netflix or Twitter to move their data faster.

Weather keeps US home sales flat in January

BY JOSH BOAK The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Sales of new U.S. homes were basically flat in January, evidence that recent job gains and relatively low mortgage rates have yet to spur the real estate market.

The Commerce Department said this week that new home sales slipped 0.2 percent last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 481,000. This marks a slight decrease from sales of 482,000 homes in December, but represents a solid 5.3 percent gain from a year ago when harsh winter weather

caused home-buying to stall.

Contributing to that nine-

Despite the increasingly favorable economy, home sales have been sluggish at the start of the year.

Snow has buried parts of the Northeast and Midwest, cutting into open house visits.

Too few homes are being listed for sale, and those that are on the market still seem to be out of reach for many prospective buyers despite the recent hiring surge and historically low interest rates.

month low was a tight

Sales of existing homes last month sank 4.9 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.82 million.

inventory of homes on the market that sent prices higher.

That may be pushing some home shoppers to wait for more choices at more inviting prices.

But builders have yet to significantly increase construction.

Toll Brothers, which specializes in higher-end homes, reported Monday that its quarterly profits shot up 78 percent as the average price of a home sold by the Pennsylvania builder climbed to $821,500 from $766,100.

And instead of upgrading to new houses, some homeowners are renovating their current properties, said Nino Sitchinava, principal economist at Houzz, the online resource for remodeling and home design.

Many firms are focused on selling to wealthier buyers, instead of competing on volume by constructing more houses at more affordable In many instances, baby levels. The median sales price boomers are putting in new rose 9.1 percent since January kitchens and bathrooms, in addition to adapting their 2014 to $294,300.

houses in order to age in place, Sitchinava said.

Home values are appreciating at a slower rate since 2014, yet they continue to outpace wage gains.

Average hourly wages grew 2.2 percent over the past 12 months, which is roughly half of the increase in home values, according to the Standard & Poor’s/CaseShiller 20-city home price index released Tuesday.

30-year fixed mortgage rate was 3.76 percent last week, according to the mortgage giant Freddie Mac. That has ticked up in recent weeks, but is far below the 4.33 percent average from a year ago.

Economists do see reasons why home sales should improve this spring.

And employers have hired at an accelerated clip over the past year. In the past three months alone, the U.S. economy has added more than 1 million jobs, the fastest three-month pace in 17 years.

More Americans earning paychecks should eventually push home sales higher.

Mortgage rates remain near historic lows. The average

Jayhawks discuss concerns at players’ meeting

HIGH SCHOOLS

Brainy ’Birds

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University basketball starters/team leaders Perry Ellis and Wayne Selden Jr. called a playersonly meeting on Tuesday night at Jayhawker Towers in response to the Jayhawks’ 70-63 loss to Kansas State on Monday in Manhattan.

“Just getting back on the right page,” sophomore point guard Frank Mason III said of the purpose of the session.

“We obviously don’t want to be the team to mess up UP NEXT the Big 12 streak (10 Who: Kansas s t r a i g h t (22-6, 11-4) c h a m p i o n - vs. Texas ships).

So (17-11, 6-9) we just got together (to) When: 4 talk about p.m. Saturthe things day we need to Where: Allen do, becom- Fieldhouse ing better TV: ESPN on the de- (WOW! chanfensive end, nels 33, just doing 233) everything coach needs us to do,” Mason added.

The loss to K-State dropped (22-6, 11-4) KU into a tie (in the loss column) with Iowa State in the Big 12 race. However, Baylor beat Iowa State on Wednesday night in Ames, meaning KU again holds a one-game lead over ISU, West Virginia and Oklahoma with three games remaining.

“Different guys stepped up, said different things, had their own opinions,” Mason said of the meeting. “We just all took it and tried to make it positive and make the change.”

Things are again looking up for the Jayhawks after Iowa State’s 79-70 home loss. In fact, KU could wrap up at least a share of the league title by winning home games Saturday (Texas, 4 p.m.) and Tuesday (West Virginia, 8 p.m.).

“I got to catch the second half, the majority of the second half,” Mason said. “I think everyone was watching. We weren’t all together.

Everyone was watching in different rooms. Everyone kind of got a feel of what happened last night. Baylor made a lot of threes. They (Bears) helped us out a lot.”

KU coach Bill Self watched basketball while working overtime in his office until heading home about 9 p.m., Wednesday.

“Duke and Virginia Tech,” Self said. “There was one other game on that I watched a little bit of. I can’t even remember which game it was.”

He resisted any temptation to view ISU-BU. “Because if I watch it (ISU-BU), I’d be, you know, nervous and all that stuff.

I didn’t watch one play. I think Kurtis (Townsend, assistant) watched it. I think Jerrance (Howard) and Norm (Roberts, assistants) watched it.”

Asked what he thought when he was told the final ISU-BU score, Self cracked: “Well, I followed the score (on computer). Iowa State was playing very well and got up eight or 10. Based on what I was told, Baylor went on a run and made like five threes in a row or something like that.

“Two good teams playing. Of course, we know

Firebirds’ Ziegler, Hack stellar student-athletes

THE FRIENDSHIP OF JACK ZIEGLER, LEFT, AND WESTON HACK goes back to their childhood years.

One day, a Free State High student will come along and break swimmer Jack Ziegler’s school record in the 50-freestyle, established while winning the state title and helping his school to a third-place finish at the state meet.

Some year, the Firebirds also will have a basketball player who stuffs a stat-sheet even better than Weston

Hack, who in Tuesday’s 55-40 victory at Shawnee Mission West totaled 12 points, seven rebounds and six assists.

But Ziegler and Hack share a record that never will be broken. Tied, yes. Broken, impossible.

The seniors who have known each other since preschool both scored a perfect 36 on the ACT. Chuck Law coaches Hack Please see BIRDS, page 3C

LHS senior Barbee relishes surprise visit

By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@ljworld.com

Leo Barbee Jr., the grandfather of Lawrence High boys basketball player John Barbee II, has been to every one of his grandson’s games except two he missed due to illness.

Leo will be on hand to see his grandson take on Free State tonight for Senior Night, and a third generation of the family will be in attendance as well for just the second time to see the LHS guard play.

Capt. John Barbee, who is a United States Army operations officer and a 1986 Lawrence High alumnus, will get to see his son play at LHS for the first time tonight. John originally surprised his son by returning home to watch his son and the Lions win Tuesday at Shawnee Mission East.

“Due to my schedule and my military obligations on the East Coast, just being able to fly in for Senior Night and be able to be able to watch him play that last game before Senior Night

was something I looked forward to. He didn’t know I was coming, so I surprised him that night,” the U.S. Army officer and proud father said. “He played really well that night. It was a good win.”

John Barbee II, nicknamed J-2, filled the stat sheet in the Lions’ comeback win over the Lancers as he scored 10 points, grabbed six rebounds and Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo dished four assists. “(My dad) was on my LAWRENCE HIGH’S JOHN BARBEE, right, chases a loose ball with Shawnee Misison North’s Nick Please see BARBEE, page 3C Perez on Feb. 17 in Overland Park.

String of strikes lifts Lions’ Erickson at regional

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Mike Yoder/Journal-World Photo

LAWRENCE HIGH BOWLER Ashlee Erickson celebrates after rolling a strike during a regional Please see HOOPS, page 2C tournament Thursday at Royal Crest Lanes.

It didn’t matter that spots for the state bowling tournament were on the line. Lawrence High senior Ashlee Erickson felt no pressure on Thursday afternoon at Royal Crest Lanes.

Erickson rolled 10 straight strikes in her opening game to record her highest singlegame total of the season, a 280. She followed with a 201 in her second game, and she helped lift the Lions’ girls

bowling team to third place at regionals, qualifying the squad for the state meet next week. It’s the second straight year the team has qualified for state.

Free State High’s boys bowling team followed up its Sunflower League championship by taking second place, also qualifying for state.

“First game, for me, I felt no pressure,” said Erickson, who took fourth overall with a 641 three-game series. “It was just another day bowling for me.”

Junior Miranda Krom added a 569 series, bowling a 214 in her last game, to finish 17th overall. Diamonique Vann and Morgan Daniels also bowled series above 500. But it was Erickson’s first game that set the tone.

“You see that and I think that inspires them, they all want to go out and do the same thing,” LHS coach Paula Bastemeyer said of Erickson’s 280. “She is just in a league of her own.”

how good Baylor is because they gave us all we wanted twice. Iowa State is as talented as anybody. It doesn’t matter unless we take care of business ourselves moving forward. But I’d be lying if I didn’t say that last night I was definitely a Baylor Bear fan.” l Jerrance returns: KU assistant Howard is back on the job after serving a two-week suspension. Self suspended the second-year KU aide after learning Howard was arrested last summer in his Peoria, Illinois hometown for marijuana possession.

“We haven’t made a big deal about that. Of course he’s happy to be back at work, without question,” Self said. l No whining allowed: Self said he hasn’t discussed Monday’s court-storming with his players as a group.

“I thought our guys handled it well. But that’s the end of the discussion. That’s on somebody else to handle it, not for us to keep talking about it. We need to move on,” Self said.

“To me, when you keep talking about that, you sound like

a little whiny brat. It happened.

Can’t change that it happened.

If we’d have played better, not allowed it to happen, it would never have occurred.”

He added: “I mentioned it to Jamari. I thought he handled it better than most would.”

KU’s Jamari Traylor did not retaliate after a fan ran into him by the south goal. l Jerseys: KU and adidas on Thursday unveiled a new alternate uniform that the Jayhawks will wear during the 2015 postseason.

The look, dubbed “Made in March” features a basic jersey with “Kansas” written across the chest and shorts with a giant Jayhawk on the sides.

According to the release, the uniform system was “designed with adidas’ most innovative and advanced apparel and footwear technology to help the Jayhawks play at their highest levels during college basketball’s biggest moments.”

The jerseys were designed with the same lightweight, sweat-wicking technology used in the NBA and targeted ventilation zones on the chest, back and side to keep players cool during games. A perforated pattern on the shorts maximizes comfort and breathability.

includes the choice of signature adidas shoes from NBA All-Stars Damian Lillard, John Wall and Derrick Rose.

KU officials said the Made in March uniforms could be worn as early as the Big 12 Championship (March 11-14) at Sprint Center in Kansas City, Missouri.

Kansas is already slated to don the Heritage Classic uniforms on Saturday against Texas.

“I don’t even know if our players know they’re wearing throw-back jerseys (vs. UT). I know we’re wearing some commemorative uniform based on it being the 60th anniversary of our building. I said, ‘If it’s our 60th anniversary, why aren’t we wearing the uniforms they were wearing 60 years ago?’

Adidas didn’t want to do that,” Self said. “So we’ll wear kind of a throw-back I guess mid’80s, late ’80s uniform, which is fine.

Players like putting on a new uniform, but it’s not that big a deal. But having (ESPN) Game Day here and playing Texas, knowing what’s potentially at stake, I think everybody should be pretty excited.”

Adidas, of course, doesn’t win all the battles.

“I actually have stepped in and not done some of the stuff that adidas wanted to do,” Self stated.

Free State wrestling enjoys banner season

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Free State High wrestlers have put together one of their strongest seasons in the past decade.

They’re not done yet.

The Firebirds took second in the Sunflower League and won a regional championship, their best finishes since 2005.

Now they’re focused on doing well at the Class 6A state tournament, beginning at 10 a.m. today at Hartman Arena in Park City.

Free State is taking 11 wrestlers to the state tournament, led by regional champions freshman

Tate Steele (106 pounds), senior Shayn Morris (113), junior Cameron Shanks (120) and freshman Isaiah Jacobs (126).

“That was probably the best feeling, knowing that we had 12 (wrestlers) and we’re sending 11,” said FSHS coach Mike Gillman, who was selected as the Coach of the Year at regionals. “In our program, for me as a head coach, that’s the most I’ve ever taken. So that’s a big thing for us in our program.”

Free State’s goal is placing within the top10 in the team standings.

Many of the Firebirds are hoping to earn a spot in

the top-eight of their respective weight classes, and have plenty of confidence after doing well at their regional.

“First time at state, I’m really excited,” Shanks said. “I really just want to do well and place (in the top eight). That’s my goal.”

With so many state qualifiers, one of the positives is how much the Firebirds improve in practice, wrestling daily against top talent.

“That’s huge,” Gillman said. “Not only are they friends but they push each other. I think they’re all competitors so they don’t take it easy on each other.

BRIEFLY Veritas boys bag 52-42 win

Veritas girls fall to Heritage Salina — Alyssa Kresstan scored 11 points and Tori Huslig added 10, but Veritas Christian’s girls basketball team dropped a 49-48 decision to Topeka Heritage on Thursday in the first round of the KCAA state tournament.

Veritas 7 8 18 20 — 48 Heritage 7 11 13 18 — 49 Veritas: Holly Scott 7, Alyssa Kresstan 11, Allison Swisher 2, Emma Wilson 9, Tori Huslig 10, Delaeny Shelton 4, Maci Dressler 5.

Heritage: Regan Cowsert 19, Desirae Mills 7, McKenna Ward 9, Courtney Doss 9, Taylor Mingus 5.

Kansas baseball tops Chicago St. Port Charlotte, Fla. — Joven Afenir went 3-for-3, and Michael Tinsley was 2-for-2 with two RBIs in Kansas University’s 15-2 baseball victory over Chicago State on Thursday in the Snowbird Classic.

Hayden Edwards (1-1) earned the victory, allowing five hits in six scoreless innings.

The Jayhawks (3-5) face North Dakota State today.

Kansas 305 011 05 — 15 15 0 Chicago State 0 00 000 11 — 2 9 1 W — Hayden Edwards (1-1). L — Eric Hall (0-3).

2B — Michael Tinsley 2, Tanner Gragg, Joe Luvisi, Tommy Mirabelli, KU; Matt Sullivan, Sanford Hunt, CS. 3B — Joven Afenir, Dakota Smith, Connor McKay, KU. KU highlights — Afenir 3-for-3, Tinsley 2-for 2, 2 RBIs.

KU swimmers fourth at Big 12 Austin, Texas — Kansas University moved up a spot into fourth place Thursday at the Big 12 women’s swim meet.

Chelsie Miller broke her own KU record in the 200-yard individual medley with a time of 1:58.37.

KU’s Sammie Schurig placed seventh in the 500 freestyle, and Madison Straight was eighth in the 200 IM. Texas (402) leads after day two of the four-day meet, followed by Iowa State (205.5), TCU (158.5), Kansas (150) and West Virginia (140).

thing about it is he’s not looking ahead or past anybody. He takes it one match at a time, one period at a time. That’s how he goes about his business.”

The Lions qualified four freshmen and one sophomore for state, who were essentially “thrown to the fire” at the varsity level. Though they were inexperienced at the beginning of the season, their coaches kept them focused on learning skills for the long run.

“We don’t really have a lot of expectations on them,” Naughton said.

“That comes next year because then they see

what it’s about and they can get fired up for it. So that next year, they’re like, ‘Now I really want to do something.’ A good goal for them is to win one match. Anything after that is a bonus.”

For the Lions who have been to state before, they hope to use their previous experience to their advantage.

“It’s nice because I’ve seen some of the competition,” senior 152-pounder Cy Burghart said. “I’ve seen most of them and the upsets (from last year), and I see that anything can happen. Getting that experience last year was pretty nice.”

Birds

Weston said. “You want to outdo your brother. He was very proud of me.”

Both students are undecided on their college destinations and both plan to study engineering. Ziegler said he would like to have a mechanical engineering/economics double-major. He listed a pair of Calculus courses as the most difficult ones he has taken at Free State.

“Calculus actually applies to a lot of fields,” Ziegler said. “I guess it can help the way you think about things. But it just has all sorts of applications, especially since I want to be an engineer.

But it also has applications in economics, which I studied a little bit last year. It was interesting to see that it connected to Calculus.”

How so?

“It’s all about when you look at the graphs of profit or cost graphs,” Ziegler said. “If you look at the rate of change of those graphs, you can see the marginal costs or the marginal profit, if that makes sense. It’s kind of hard to explain.”

Not to Hack, undoubtedly.

Mental and physical toughness, more than pure intelligence, helped to make Ziegler such a strong swimmer.

Law didn’t hesitate

when asked to explain how Hack’s intelligence makes him a better basketball player.

“I don’t know if you ever get a kid who’s 100 percent on board, but he’s about 99 percent on board of what it is that we as a coaching staff want to do,” Law said. “He’s such a great communicator and the kids respect him so much, that sure as heck makes our job a lot easier. They know how intelligent he is and they understand how basketball savvy he is. He helps get everybody in the right place. And he anticipates so well.”

Hack’s gifts, physical and mental, don’t prevent the Firebirds from being underdogs tonight at Lawrence High in the second installment of the city showdown. Regardless of the outcome, Hack already has done things Law won’t ever forget.

For example, after the meeting of coaches and captains with the refs before Tuesday’s game, Law said Shawnee Mission West coach Ryan Darst told him how impressed he was with Hack.

“For a coach to be that impressed with how mature beyond his years Weston is based on a 30-second interaction,” Law said, “I thought that was pretty interesting.”

State,” the LHS senior said.

Along with crediting Lions’ coach Mike Lewis for helping serve as a father figure to J-2, John also said Leo has been a great mentor for his son.

Leo has been a pastor of Victory Bible Church in Lawrence for 31 years and has been J-2’s top supporter.

“His granddad, my father, is his No. 1 fan,” John said. “... Just through his guidance the way that they’ve raised us, being a pastor here in Lawrence since ’76 and his influence. The way

J-2 is is being a gentleman and respectful all started with my dad right here.”

J-2 is still able to Skype, text, call and email regularly with his dad, and even visit him as well. John is stationed in Fort George G. Meade in Maryland, so the father and son have been able to spend some time together in the Washington D.C. area. While John enjoys spending time with J-2 in Lawrence and Washington, he wants to go somewhere special after his son graduates from LHS.

Salina — Veritas Christian broke open a close game by outscoring Manhattan CHIEF by 10 points in the fourth quarter in a 52-42 victory Thursday in the first round of the KCAA boys basketball state tournament.

The teams were tied a 33-all after three quarters before Veritas outscored Manhattan 19-9 in the fourth.

Miles Dressler led the Eagles with 19 points, followed by Chad Stieben with 11 and Kalim Dowdell with 10. Veritas (22-4) will Richard Gwin/Journal-World Photo play at 5 p.m. today in the FREE STATE’S ALEX JIMENEZ competes in a regional KCAA semifinals. tournament Thursday at Royal Crest Lanes.

There’s a lot of animosity between somebody getting a takedown, and ‘Oh, I’m going to get you back.’

That sort of thing. That is huge for us.”

Lawrence High’s wrestling team is sending eight wrestlers to state after taking third place at regionals. Junior Alan Clothier, the defending state champion at 182 pounds, and sophomore Tucker Wilson (160 pounds) won regional titles.

“I would say right now, he is more focused than he ever has been,” LHS coach Pat Naughton said of Clothier, who owns a 38-0 record this year.

“That’s good. The one

Bowling CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

Free State’s girls bowling team took fifth place, led by senior Sarah Pesce, who qualified for state after rolling a season-best series of 617. She rolled a 218 in her second game and finished with a 233.

“I just kind of took it zen mode,” Pesce said. “I just blocked everything out. It’s home lanes so it was a lot easier to just focus and just be like, ‘I’ve got this. This is my senior year, this is it.’ I’m ready to have fun next week in Wichita.”

The Firebird boys were led by sophomore Alex Jimenez, who finished third overall with a 676 series. He opened his first game with a 254.

In the second game, the Firebirds fed off energy from each other. Jimenez, junior Matthew Eagle, senior Eric Glogau, junior Avery Allen and junior Matt Meseke all bowled scores above 200.

“Once you hear the strikes and you hear the clapping, and you get into it, you just go with the flow,” Jimenez said.

“With all of the strings of strikes, it kind of helps.”

The LHS boys took seventh place, and freshman Javier Lemmons qualified for state with a 675 series,

which placed him fifth individually.

“Javier is just like a rock,” Bastemeyer said.

“He’s a freshman, and yet, he will throw a ball and just be on and know what needs to happen. He’ll adjust. He’s just an inspiration to everybody. Things don’t rattle him.”

All of the state qualifiers will compete at the Class 6A state bowling championships, starting at 9:30 a.m. Friday at Northrock Lanes in Wichita.

every day this time of year and he had Ziegler in his history class. Unlike many of the classes taken by the ACT aces, it was not of the Advanced Placement variety.

“The kid has a perfect score on the ACT and he was humble, inquisitive and never conducted himself for a second with any arrogance about his level of intelligence,” Law said of Ziegler. “Weston’s the same way. Some people always have to be the smartest guy in the room.

Neither one has ever been like that, and that speaks volumes about both of them and how they’ve been raised.”

Hack took his fourhour exam in the fall of 2013, Ziegler a year later.

Both learned of their results online.

“I logged in and saw it was 36,” Hack said. “I yelled to my mom, and shoot, she just went crazy. She was a lot more excited than I was.”

Hack said he was shooting for “34 or 35,” because his older brother, Wilson, a former Free State golfer and basketball player, scored a 33.

The 6-foot 2-inch guard is excited for his father to be in attendance again for Senior Night, but realizes that he cannot overlook the opponent.

“It will be hard to focus with Senior Night and all the emotions in the air that night, but it will be good to just focus on Free

Coach, players building a winner at Haskell

By Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Shane Flanagan moved from New Mexico, where he had been a womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball assistant coach at Div. I New Mexico, to take on the challenge of heading up the Haskell Indian Nations University program.

Four seasons into the job, Flanagan and his players have been rewarded for their efforts. Flanagan was named Midlands Collegiate Atheltic Conference coach of the year and senior point guard Jenine Corize of Santa Fe, New Mexico was named first-team all-conference and defensive player of the year.

Slowed of late by losing three rotation players, Haskell takes a 20-8 record into the MCAC North tournament at College of St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Omaha, Neb., and faces

Corize, who recently had a 32-point game, leads Haskell with 15.5 points, 4.2 assists and 3.4

steals per game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She knows everything that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing,â&#x20AC;? Flanagan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really become a coach on the floor. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been fun. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve really seen her mature and see the game for what it is. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really kind of become a coach on the floor.â&#x20AC;?
