Lawrence, the ‘capital of basketball,’ hasn’t hosted a state high school tournament since the 1980s, and the reason may surprise you

University officials adamant that medical school’s accreditation is endangered

By Scott Rothschild Twitter: @ljwrothschild

Topeka — Kansas University officials warned Tuesday that without budgetary help from the state, the medical school faces the possibility of losing its accreditation, but a Senate committee rejected their pleas.

“I just implore you to please consider this initiative,” said Dr. Doug Girod, executive vice chancellor of the KU Medical Center.

But the Senate Ways and Means Committee approved a capital improve- Girod ment plan that failed to include two major funding sources that KU said it needs to start construction of an estimated $75 million to $80 million health education building.

Committee Chairman Ty Masterson, RAndover, was unswayed by Girod’s assertion.

The measure was launched in the House Fed- LEGISLATURE eral and State Affairs Committee by state Rep. Louis Ruiz, D-Kansas City.

Beverly June rylko Beverly June Rylko, 67, passed away quietly at home on March 10, 2014. Henry Rylko, her husband of 45 years, survives. She leaves her daughters Sophia Rylko (husband Jonah Seibel), Amelia Rylko and Rose Rylko, all of Lawrence.

Her beloved grandsons Jeremiah and Jude Seibel also survive. And she leaves one sister Cheryl Miller of Port Orchard, WA. Nieces, nephews, inlaws and a raft of friends will also feel her loss.

Bev was born in Kansas City, MO, to Dorothy Elder and Robert Kelly Butler, who both preceded her in death. She earned a BS in mathematics education from KU and most recently worked as a job coach for the Lawrence School District until her retirement last March. She was known for the patience and love she showed all of her students.

Bev’s warm personality drew lifelong friends such as the book club members who met regularly for 30+ years.

She also dearly loved opera, gardening and cooking; she was famous

The bill would add sexual orientation and gender identity to the Kansas Act Against Discrimination. The act prohibits discrimination in public accommodations, employment and housing based on race, religion, color, sex, disability, national origin and ancestry.

The issue of gay rights exploded earlier this session when conservatives tried to pass a bill that set up legal protections for those who oppose samesex marriage on religious grounds.

But gay rights and business groups blasted the measure, saying it would have allowed widespread discrimination.

The House-approved bill died in the Senate, and legislative leaders have said they will not take up the issue again this session.

Concerning Ruiz’s proposal, the next step is for the bill to be assigned to a committee. If it goes to Federal and State Affairs, the chairman, state Rep. Steve Brunk, R-Wichita, would have to make the decision on whether to hold a hearing. Brunk didn’t want to speculate on that, saying he hadn’t read the bill yet.

Similar legislation has been approved on three separate occasions in a Senate committee but has never advanced further.

Tom Witt, director of the gay rights group Kansas Equality, said the anti-discrimination protections are needed.

“It’s clear there are LGBT people in this state who face discrimination on a pretty regular basis,” he said. “They’re trying to pass laws that would legalize and permanently enshrine discrimination in the statute books.”

After the meeting, Masterson said, “I don’t feel the accreditation is in jeopardy. If it were, we would reconsider what we needed to reconsider.”

Masterson said KU had sufficient resources “to answer the accreditation issue. It’s just prioritization.

If they want to prioritize the accreditation as a project they have the resources to do that,” he said.

Girod told the committee that the medical school’s accreditation body, called the Liaison Committee on Medical Education, recently cited an area of noncompliance because of the school’s facilities.

The main medical education building was built in the 1970s and can’t accommodate the modern style of physician training that focuses on small groups and simulations of pro-

The agency also said cold weather in the past week challenged Kansas farmers calving during snowstorms. Some ranch-

While pastures are also starting to turn green, concerns are growing about dry conditions and low pond levels. Stock water supplies were reported as adequate in 69 percent of Kansas.

cedures, he said.

Girod said that challenge needed to be addressed now or “we are going to be in a major crisis a decade from now.”

Losing accreditation is a lengthy process that often takes years and includes graduated phases of probation and being given a chance to correct the problems. A medical school that loses its accreditation essentially ceases to operate. “It puts you out of business,” Girod said.

KU has requested the Legislature release a $25 million FICA refund linked to the medical center, and provide $1.4 million in state dollars per year to help retire $15 million in bonds. The remaining funds needed for the building would be paid with private donations and internal funds, KU has said. Girod said the building could be constructed in two years.

During the Ways and Means Committee meeting, state Sen. Marci

Francisco, D-Lawrence, tried to amend the budget to include the $1.4 million for the medical center.

“There is a clear argument in terms of accreditation and in terms of providing an adequate number of physicians” in Kansas, Francisco said.

But Republicans on the committee rejected Francisco’s amendment. GOP members of the committee then approved the budget report without the funding sought by KU. The Ways and Means Committee decision was the second setback to KU this week.

A Senate budget subcommittee Monday deleted $2 million for a proposed institute at Kansas University to develop new technologies and drugs in collaboration with pharmaceutical companies.

There is not some hard and fast rule that says because CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A KU basketball season is underway that it But one basketball ob- couldn’t be considject Lawrence doesn’t ered.” have — and hasn’t had for decades — is a state high school basketball championship tournament.

The state championships will play out at eight different sites across the state beginning Wednesday and running through Saturday.

But Lawrence won’t be one of them. Lawrence hasn’t hosted a state basketball championship since 1987.

The Kansas State High School Activities Association — the organizer of the tournaments — said there is a simple reason why.

“I can’t say that anybody from the Lawrence area has called and expressed an interest in hosting a tournament for quite awhile,” said Francine Martin, the assistant executive director of the athletic association.

Allen availability Bob Sanner, the sports marketing manager for the Lawrence Convention and Visitors Bureau, said he knows why that has been the case. Allen Fieldhouse is the only venue in the city that would meet the state tournament’s requirements, and he said getting court time for the most storied basketball arena in the country can be tough.

Sanner said over the years he has been told by administrators from Kansas Athletics that the fieldhouse isn’t available for such events, if basketball season is still under way. Even though the dates for the state basketball tournaments usually have fallen after the home

seasons for KU’s men’s and women’s teams have ended, Sanner said he understands the policy.

“There are all types of crazy scenarios you can come up with where a coach would need the fieldhouse court,” Sanner said.

“And who wants to tell Bill Self that he can’t have the court? I, for one, wouldn’t want to carry that message.”

KU openness But when questioned by the Journal-World recently, a spokesman for the athletics department said there may be a chance Allen Fieldhouse could accommodate a high school championship in future years.

“We haven’t been asked to do it, but if we were asked, we would check with the schedule and what it would require and make a judgment based on that,” said Jim Marchiony, a spokesman with KU Athletics. “There is not some hard and fast rule that says because KU basketball season is still underway that it couldn’t be considered.”

Sanner said he’s pleased to hear of KU’s openness to the idea. He said he would begin investigating whether the tournament would be a good fit for Lawrence.

He won’t have to look far to get some ideas.

Official warns of lost funds to districts

Plan for mural looks bleak

Little lambs

Equity issues could cost up to $1 billion

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

A top Kansas education official warned of possible dire consequences to public schools if the Legislature fails to address equity issues in one part of the state school finance system by July 1.

Deputy Education Commissioner Dale Dennis said districts could lose as much as $1 billion statewide, or about SCHOOLS 25 percent of their total operating budgets, if lawmakers fail to fix equity issues in the Local Option Budget portion of the state school finance formula. “A billion dollars would be devastating,� Dennis said.

Dennis spoke Tuesday morning to the House and Senate Democratic caucuses about Friday’s Kansas Supreme Court decision in the school finance case, Gannon vs. Kansas.

Under state law, local districts are allowed to supplement the base budgets they receive from the state by as much as 31 percent with money they raise from local property taxes. Those are Please see FINANCE, page 4A

lead artist for the 2007 mural entitled Pollinators, which is on the wall of an office building at the northeast corner of Ninth and New Hampshire streets. “But there are just still a lot of questions about how it all would work.”

The options include cutting the approximately 20 foot by 60 foot wall into multiple pieces, moving it to another site and then putting it back to together. The development group — which is led by Lawrence businessmen Doug Compton and Mike Treanor — have offered to pay $20,000 for that project, but they said Tuesday they were uncertain that would cover the full costs of the move. An architect for the project also said there is a chance the work could be damaged.

“It will be a difficult process,” said Micah Kimball, an architect with Treanor Architects.

LAWRENCE • STATE

.

“It will be a delicate process.”

The development group also has proposed that Loewenstein recreate the mural — albeit smaller — on a designated space on the new building. The mural was part of a 2007 exhibition sponsored by the Spencer Museum of Art that honors seven black artists with Kansas ties who went on to have an international impact.

Susan Earle, curator at the Spencer Museum of Art, told commissioners that her preference was to find a way to keep the existing wall and existing mural in place during the construction of the proposed seven-story apartment building.

But Kimball told commissioners there was no feasible way to do so because the project involved a two-story, underground parking garage that will be built directly underneath the wall.

All five commissioners on Tuesday said they agreed with Kimball’s assessment.

Commissioners asked the two sides to provide

another update to the commission by its April 8 meeting. Current plans call for demolition of the building to begin around June 1, Compton said.

In other news, commissioners: l Unanimously approved the necessary rezoning for a five-story apartment and retail building at 1101 Indiana St., which is across the street from KU’s Memorial Stadium. l Agreed to submit a $141,000 grant application to the Douglas County Heritage Fund to finance a program to better highlight a host of artistic, historical and cultural sites in the new Lawrence Cultural District, which includes downtown and much of East Lawrence.

Finance

Most years, the state subsidizes the LOBs of less wealthy districts that would otherwise have to impose huge property tax levies to raise the same LOB percentage as a wealthier district.

That money is provided through an “equalization” formula.

Since 2009, however, the state has not fully funded that formula, meaning the money available is distributed on a prorated basis. As a result, the Supreme Court said, the poorest districts lose the most money because they are entitled to the largest equalization subsidy.

The court said Friday that the Legislature must either fully fund that equalization formula or find some other way of solving the unconstitutional inequities.

“If by July 1, 2014, the legislature takes no curative action,” the court said, “the (lower court) should enjoin operation of the local option budget funding mechanism ... or

enter such other orders as it deems appropriate.”

“What they kind of said is, if you’re going to do it, you have to equalize it,” Dennis said.

For the Lawrence school district, which levies the full 31 percent allowed by law, eliminating Local Option Budgets entirely would cost local schools $23.4 million. Under the formula, it is supposed to receive $4.6 million in equalization aid, but this year will receive only $3.6 million.

If the Legislature were to fully fund the formula, the additional $1 million in state aid would replace money the district now raises through property taxes, and thus would allow the district to lower its property tax levy about 1 mill. A mill is $1 in taxes for every $1,000 in assessed property valuation.

The Eudora school district has a $3.1 mil-

lion LOB. Of that, $2 million is supposed to come through equalization, but the district receives only $1.6 million due to underfunding, a loss of $447,191, which is charged to local taxpayers.

And the Baldwin City levies a $2.8 million LOB, of which $1.4 million is supposed to come through state equalization. But the district actually receives only about $1.1 million due to underfunding, for a loss of $303,972, which is charged to local taxpayers.

In the Kansas House, the job of addressing the court’s decision has been assigned to the Appropriations Committee.

Chairman Marc Rhoades, R-Newton, said Tuesday he plans to begin drafting legislation next week.

Rhodes said the committee would begin working on a bill next Tuesday, but he declined to predict the final outcome.

Since then, however, the board has had to revoke the licenses of several teachers in Kansas after learning they had recently been convicted of serious offenses, including some convicted of having illegal sexual relations with their students.

But the real concern, board members have said, is that the board can only act on cases of which it is aware. Many more may have escaped the Department of Education’s notice, officials have said, because many prosecutors do not report those charges or convictions to the state.

Under the proposed new program, each person submitting fingerprints would also be enrolled in the federal “Rap Back” program, an FBI program that automatically notifies the agency whenever there is a match between the fingerprint card and the fingerprints of someone who is arrested or charged with certain offenses.

Meanwhile, a bill is pending in the Kansas

Legislature that would require the state board to do essentially the same thing. But Senate Bill 335 would also require each district to adopt a drug screening program to test employees when there is probable cause to suspect an employee is using illegal drugs.

Scott Gordon, an attorney for the agency, said if the draft regulations clear their reviews,

the next steps will be to hold a public hearing and submit them for review by the Legislature’s Joint Committee on Rules and Regulations.

Assuming there are no major changes to the regulations, he said the board could take final action to adopt them within 90 to 120 days.

They would then go into effect immediately upon adoption.

Carlos O’Kelly’s closes its doors after 26 years

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

A longtime player in Lawrence’s Mexican restaurant scene has closed.

Carlos O’Kelly’s closed its lone Lawrence location, 707 W. 23rd Street, as part of a broader restructuring that closed 17 restaurants across the Midwest.

Dave Phillips, director of restaurant marketing for the Wichitabased chain, said Carlos O’Kelly’s had operated in Lawrence for almost 26 years. In recent years, competition in the Mexican restaurant market had greatly increased in the city. But Phillips said there were other factors

Flack CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

provided details of a May 8 interview with Flack in which Flack described shooting Steven White.

The evidence was heard during a nearly two-hour hearing that preceded Tuesday’s scheduled preliminary hearing in Franklin County District Court.

Detective Jeremi Thompson of the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office testified that hours after being detained in Emporia, Flack said in an interview that another victim, Andrew Stout, first shot White with a shotgun during an altercation inside an outbuilding on Stout’s property, but that Flack delivered the fatal blast after Stout handed him the gun. “‘I shot him. He dies,’�

Thompson said were Flack’s words. Thompson said Flack and Stout covered White’s body with a tarp in the outbuilding, then went inside and smoked marijuana before Stout left for work.

Flack is charged with capital murder in the deaths of Kaylie Bailey and Bailey’s daughter, Lana-Leigh, which are alleged to have occurred on May 1. He also faces two counts of first-degree murder for the deaths of White, between April 2029, and Stout, on April 29.

Last month, prosecutors filed intentions to seek Hard 50 sentences for each of the first-degree murder charges. Flack is also charged with attempted rape and criminal possession of a firearm.

Thompson said Flack told him that White had been living at Stout’s property in rural Franklin County and that Stout asked him to leave after he didn’t pay rent. According to Thompson, Flack told him that the shooting occurred during an argument one day in late April after White returned to gather some of his belongings.

Ron Evans, who is leading the defense of Flack, challenged whether Flack’s statement could be considered in court because it came after Flack had asked Thompson whether he thought Flack should get an attorney before he continued

in the restaurant’s slowdown. “When we built nearly 30 years ago, we built on the east side of town, which we thought was an intelligent choice,� Phillips said. “We thought the town was more likely to grow toward Kansas City than toward Topeka.

But we were wrong. The volume of business just hasn’t been enough.�

The only other Kansas restaurant part of the recent announcement of closings was in Hays, Phillips said. The chain continues to operate 22 locations in six states.

The closest to Lawrence is in Topeka. Gift cards can be redeemed at that location or any other Car-

talking. But because Flack asked whether Thompson — who said he wasn’t in a position to give legal advice — thought he should ask for a lawyer instead of outright asking for a lawyer, Sachse granted the prosecution’s motion to admit the statements.

Tuesday’s hearing featured testimony from 32 witnesses, including the mothers of Steven White and Kaylie Bailey, and Flack’s stepfather, each of whom talked about the last time they saw or heard from their children. Multiple law enforcement officials from both Franklin County and Emporia also testified that Flack was found at a friend’s apartment in Emporia after midnight on May 8. A car belonging to Kaylie Bailey was also found in Emporia as was a duffel bag reportedly belonging to Flack that included gun-cleaning parts and black zip ties that matched those found binding Bailey’s hands together.

Kenneth Douglas, who said he had been friends with Flack for “a lot of years,� said Flack had stayed at his apartment until a Wabaunsee County Sheriff’s Office deputy and Emporia police detained him as a person of interest in the search for missing Lana-Leigh, who was 18 months old at the time of her death. Law enforcement officials who discussed detaining, and later transporting Flack from Emporia to Ottawa for further questioning, testified that Flack initially inquired about the whereabouts of LanaLeigh and the well-being of his “friends.�

The most extensive testimony Tuesday came from Ryan Rezzelle, a Johnson County Sheriff’s Office crime scene investigator, who described spending more than a week processing the scene at 3197 Georgia Road, where White’s body was found inside the outbuilding and the bodies of Stout and Bailey were found inside under a pile of clothes in the master bedroom.

A half dozen shotgun shells were also found on the property, Rezelle said, and all but one were spent. Rezzelle also said Kaylie Bailey suffered what appeared to be a gunshot to the head, and that a hole was made in

los O’Kelly’s. Phillips said the company also is offering a refund on gift cards.

Customers should call 316-978-9509 to inquire about the refund.

According to property records at the Douglas County courthouse, Carlos O’Kelly’s Lawrence location is owned by the Rolph family, which is the founder and operator of Carlos O’Kelly’s. Phillips said there were no plans yet for the property. “We love Lawrence,�

Phillips said. “It was hard to close that store. We were victims of economics.� — City reporter Chad Lawhorn can be reached at 832-6362. Follow him at Twitter.com/clawhorn_ljw

the floor below where her head rested.

Andrea Reed, a Johnson County investigator, later testified that LanaLeigh’s body was found inside a suitcase in Tequa Creek near Osage County on May 11. Along the bank, investigators also found diapers and paperwork that included both Kaylie Bailey’s and LanaLeigh’s names.

Tuesday’s hearing ended with testimony from Emporia employees who reported the discovery of a loaded shotgun without its barrel at a landfill. Emporia police sent the shotgun to Johnson County for further analysis.

The hearing will resume this morning, beginning with testimony from coroner Erik Mitchell.

Opinion

Lawrence Journal-World l LJWorld.com l Wednesday, March 12, 2014

EDITORIALS

Stepping back The Kansas Board of Regents should be willing to modify their stand on social media based on a new policy drafted by university faculty and staff members.

T

he group that the Kansas Board of Regents asked to review and comment on a new social media policy for state universities didn’t find much in that policy to like.

In fact, the faculty and staff representatives of all the regents universities decided to dump the original policy and write one of their own, one that drops the punitive language and seeks primarily to advise university personnel on responsible use of social media.

It’s not the policy the regents had in mind, but it deserves their serious consideration.

Under pressure to respond to state legislators who called for the firing of Kansas University professor David Guth following an ill-advised tweet about the National Rifle Association, the regents pushed through a policy that was so broad and vague that many university personnel feared it would have a chilling effect on academic freedom and even constitutionally protected free speech. To their credit, the regents agreed to appoint a group to review the policy. Now they need to approach the group’s proposed new policy with open minds and a willingness to accept either the new policy or some kind of reasonable compromise.

To a business owner, it seems reasonable to set a policy that give a boss authority to fire someone who uses social media in a way that adversely affects the business. However, running a university isn’t like running most businesses. The whole charge of a university, as former KU Chancellor Franklin Murphy often said, is to serve as a “free marketplace of ideas.” Murphy also referred to the concept of “intellectual ferment,” which reflects the fact that the free flow of ideas at a university sometimes can be a messy business.

Nonetheless, trying to rein in that “ferment” undermines the true mission of a university to question conventional wisdom and debate both popular and unpopular ideas. Sometimes those debates can be uncomfortable, even a little shocking, but if they can’t take place at an institution of higher learning, where can they occur?

The speed with which social media can transport any idea into the public sphere creates new responsibilities for universities and individual faculty and staff members to use good judgment when choosing what to broadcast. Comments that once might have gone no further than a faculty meeting now can be easily broadcast and misconstrued thousands of times over in a matter of minutes.

The new technology certainly suggests the need for restraint, but the advisory policy proposed by university faculty and staff may be able to accomplish that goal at least as well as the regents’ more punitive policy — without infringing on free speech or academic freedom.

Ties to Cuba will hurt Mexico Mexico City — There are many theories about why Mexico is cozying up to Cuba’s dictatorship and looking the other way as Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro brutally represses street demonstrations, but I think the most credible one can be summed up in one word: fear.

Well-placed foreign policy analysts tell me that Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto’s disregard for the defense of universal rights and basic freedoms in Cuba and Venezuela is partly due to fear that these two countries could use their clout with Mexico’s leftist movements to stir up trouble at home.

Pena Nieto has recently passed ambitious energy, education and telecommunications reforms that have gained enthusiastic applause from Wall Street, but that most of Mexico’s left opposes. The last thing Pena Nieto wants is for Cuba and Venezuela to encourage these leftist groups to derail the reforms in Congress, or through protests on the streets.

“Cuba and Venezuela are domestic policy issues in Mexico,” says Miguel Hakim, a former Mexican undersecretary of foreign affairs in charge of Latin American affairs. “The Pena Nieto government does not want them to stir up the pot at home while he is trying to implement his energy and education reforms.”

Late last year, Pena Nieto forgave 70 percent of Cuba’s nearly $500 million

Andres Oppenheimer aoppenheimer@miamiherald.com

“

In an effort to distance himself from his predecessors, Peña Nieto has gone overboard.” foreign debt to his country. During an official visit to the island in January, he met with semi-retired Cuban dictator Fidel Castro and praised him as “Cuba’s political and moral leader.”

The Pena Nieto government has also remained largely silent on Maduro’s repression of street protests that have already left 20 dead.

Close aides to Pena Nieto told me that Mexico’s foreign policy is guided by pragmatism, and by a desire to be a major player in Latin America’s diplomatic community.

During the recent governments of Vicente Fox (20002006) and Felipe Calderón (2006-2012), of the opposition National Action Party, Mexico had adopted a more prohuman rights, pro-democracy stand regarding Cuba and Venezuela, which had infuriated those countries’ leaders.

“We have a very pragmatic view of how we should conduct our foreign policy,” Pena Nieto’s chief of staff Aurelio Nuno told me in an interview last week. “In the case of Venezuela, we prefer to be prudent. We do not believe that strident positions will be very useful.”

Most South American countries, led by Brazil, are openly backing the Maduro government in Venezuela.

But Brazil’s support for Cuba and Venezuela — which is much more explicit than Mexico’s — comes as less of a surprise, because it is consistent with Brazil’s shameless foreign policy regarding democracy and human rights issues in recent years.

In its quest to become a Third World power, Brazil has befriended some of the bloodiest dictators in the Americas, Africa and Asia.

Also, Brazil’s leftist government has been pursuing free market economic policies, while keeping its leftwing base happy with a pro-Cuba, pro-Venezuela foreign policy. Brazil has also invested heavily in Cuba and Venezuela’s oil and infrastructure projects over the past 10 years.

Among the few Latin American governments that have expressed concern about the bloodshed in Venezuela are Chile, Peru, Colombia and Panama. Outgoing Chilean president Sebastian Pinera told me in an interview last month that Latin American countries “share a commitment to de-

fend freedom, democracy and human rights not only within our borders, but also outside them.”

My opinion: Pena Nieto’s policy toward Cuba and Venezuela is not “pragmatism,” but — in addition to a shameful disregard for Latin American treaties committing countries to defend universal rights — is a textbook case of diplomatic over-reaction.

If Pena Nieto wanted to keep Cuba and Venezuela from firing up Mexico’s left, he could have done the same with polite diplomacy, without the need to praise as a “moral leader” a dictator who is responsible for thousands of deaths and has not allowed a free election in five decades. In an effort to distance himself from his predecessors, Peña Nieto has gone overboard.

In addition, Pena Nieto’s new friendship with Cuba will hurt Mexico’s image.

Mexico’s recent passage of long-delayed economic reforms has turned this country once again into a darling of the international financial community, but if Mexico tries to sell itself to the world as a modern democracy, it will not help itself by teaming up with Cuba and Venezuela.

Mexico will have a harder time joining the First World if it embraces some of the most retrograde regimes of the Third World.

The boards of county commissioners of Douglas and Leavenworth counties are conferring at Eudora today and it is believed an amicable arrangement will be reached.

ED change due To the editor: With the change in leadership of the Chamber of Commerce, Lawrence has an opportunity to rethink how it handles economic development.

Now the city and county taxpayers give over $450,000 per year to the chamber for economic development purposes, not including the incubators or the Bioscience Authority.

The record of the chamber is a history of failures.

The chamber led the city into many tax abatements that failed to generate the promised jobs, wages and investments. The chamber repeatedly supported the overbuilding of retail space, hurting the downtown and other existing retail centers, and it even supported tax breaks for retail space, the antithesis of economic development.

The chamber initiated meetings with the City Commission that later were found to be in violation of the Kansas Open Meetings Act, causing our city commissioners to be censured by the attorney general. The chamber has been caught making false statements and misrepresentations before the Public Incentives Review Committee.

The chamber has never been transparent about its use of the taxpayer funds.

Smart cities across the nation have brought economic development planning inside city hall through the hiring of skilled professionals educated in economic development. Staff mem-

bers at the chamber are not educated in economic development and are not accountable to the City Commission.

Rather, they are advocates for business interests at the taxpayers’ expense.

The city of Lawrence should use the change in leadership of the chamber to put economic development into the hands of professionals who are accountable to the public.

Ukraine analysis To the editor: Congratulations to the J-W for presenting two views of the Crimean crisis. Charles Krauthammer supports Russia’s historical right to Crimea, while criticizing President Obama for weakness in contesting it, and David Ignatius gives a well-balanced analysis of U.S. policy toward Russia in the Crimean situation.

As Sergei Khruschchev reminds us, his father awarded Crimea to then Soviet Ukraine in 1954 for an economic reason: “the building of a hydro-electric dam on the Dnieper River which would irrigate Ukraine’s southern regions, including Crimea. And I never heard from Putin that he wanted it.”

(Andre de Nessnera, “Giving Crimea Back to Russia is Not an Option,” Voice of America, March, 6, 2014).

Crimea has a Russian naval base.

Now, after sending in Russian troops — called “local forces” — Putin cares

enough for the Russian majority there to hold a referendum.

Russian action in Crimea is both punishment and a means of pressure on the new Ukrainian government to give up its power and reinstate the previous president Viktor Yanukovich. After months of protest against his rejection of Ukrainian associate membership in the European Union, and then against his rule in general, there was bloodshed before and after a failed agreement. Finally, in late February, the Ukrainian parliament voted Yanukovich out of power and he fled to Russia, leaving his palace and gardens behind him. His assets, estimated at $12 billion have been frozen by the European Union.

President Putin’s goal is to restore Yanukevich as head of all Ukraine, although 90 percent of the latter’s support is in heavily russified eastern Ukraine. There is no need for Russian troops to “protect” Russian citizens there.

Washington — In an extraordinary public accusation, the head of the Senate Intelligence Committee declared on Tuesday that the CIA interfered with and then tried to intimidate a congressional investigation into the agency’s possible use of torture in terror probes during the Bush administration.

The CIA clandestinely removed documents and searched a computer network set up for lawmakers, said Sen. Dianne Feinstein in a long and biting speech on the Senate floor. In an escalating dispute with an agency she has long supported, she said the CIA may well have violated

criminal laws and the U.S. Constitution.

At odds on major contentions, both sides noted the matter has now been handed to the Justice Department for further investigation and potential prosecution. The CIA’s inspector general, David Buckley, first referred the matter to Justice, and the CIA’s acting counsel responded by filing a criminal report about the intelligence committee staff.

“I am not taking it lightly,” Feinstein said of the tit-for-tat investigations.

“I view the acting counsel general’s referral as a potential effort to intimidate this staff” in the interrogation investigation.

The dispute between the CIA and senators, which has been going on privately for more than five years, ex-

ploded into a public clash as the California Democrat offered a detailed account of the Senate’s secretive dealings with the CIA in an investigation of post-Sept. 11 interrogation and detention practices.

In the current matter, a long-running dispute has centered on whether waterboarding, a technique that simulates drowning, and other harsh interrogation techniques were factors in aiding the CIA’s antiterror efforts and helped the agency track down Osama bin Laden.

CIA Director John Brennan rejected Feinstein’s accusations, insisting that the agency was not trying to thwart the committee’s work and denying that it had been spying on the panel or the Senate.

ing Boeing 777 jetliner changed course over the sea, crossed Malaysia and reached the Strait of Malacca — hundreds of miles from its last position recorded by civilian authorities, Malaysian military officials said Tuesday, citing military radar data.

The country’s civilian aviation chief Azharuddin Abdul Rahman said he could neither confirm nor deny the military’s remarks. That suggests disagreement or confusion at the highest level over where the plane is most likely to have ended up.

“There is a possibility of an air turn back. We are still investigating and looking at the radar readings,” he said Wednesday.

It is possible that the radar readings are not definitive, especially if the plane was malfunctioning.

The developments added mystery into one of most puzzling aviation incidents of recent time, and it has raised questions about why the Malaysia Airlines flight apparently was not transmitting signals detectable by civilian radar, why its crew was silent about the course change and why no distress calls were sent after it turned back.

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia — The miss-

split off from Ukraine in a weekend referendum and join Russia, the region’s parliament said Tuesday that if voters approve the move it would first declare itself an independent state, a maneuver that could de-escalate the standoff between Moscow and the West.

The move would give Moscow the option of saying there is no need for Crimea to become part of Russia while keeping it firmly within its sphere of influence.

Backers of voting to split off from Ukraine in Sunday’s referendum say becoming part of Russia would return the Black Sea peninsula to its rightful home. Billboards around the regional capital proclaimed “Together with Russia” and street vendors were selling Russian flags to passing motorists.

Obamacare sign-ups may miss major goal Washington — The Obama administration said Tuesday it’s making steady progress on health care sign-ups, but the White House needs something close to a miracle to meet its goal of enrolling 6 million people by the end of this month.

The Department of Health and Human Services said more than 940,000 people signed up during February for private coverage under President Barack Obama’s health care law, bringing total sign-ups to 4.2 million.

With open enrollment ending March 31, that means to meet the goal, another 1.8 million people would have to sign up during the month, an

average of about 60,000 a day.

Administration officials expect the pace to pick up as procrastinators are forced to act. There are no plans to extend the March 31 deadline, they emphasize.

Judge throws twist in Army sex case Fort Bragg N.C. — The trial of an Army general accused of sexual assault moved into uncharted legal territory Tuesday when the judge dismissed the jury to allow the defense time to hammer out a new plea deal with the military.

While the highly unusual decision gives Brig. Gen. Jeffrey A. Sinclair a second chance to negotiate the dismissal of the most serious charges, he appears certain to face an inglorious end to a nearly 30year career spanning service in three wars. His lawyers said it could take weeks to finalize an agreement.

Judge Col. James Pohl reviewed newly disclosed emails Monday and said he found the appearance of “unlawful command influence” in Fort Bragg officials’ rejection of a plea bargain with the general in January. He declined to dismiss the charges outright, but allowed Sinclair’s lawyers to negotiate with Army officials not previously involved with the case.

If they fail to reach a plea deal, the trial would resume.

But with the jury sent packing, it’s unlikely that could happen quickly.

The jury of five two-star generals was seated last week, traveling from as far away as Korea and Alaska.

Pair fruit with avocados in a wrap or turn it into a delicious sorbet

By Megan Stuke and Sarah Henning

D

on’t be confused. My mango recipe could almost be mistaken for something healthy.

Were it not for the healthy dose of refined sugar in the dish, it truly

would be.

I remember the first time I had sorbet. I was a teenager and for some reason was dining in a fancy hotel restaurant, and the waiter brought out a little lemon sorbet as a palette cleanser. I was all “Wha?? Ice cream now?” and the waiter was all, “No, fool, it’s just to prepare your mouth for the next amazing thing I’m bringing.” Except I didn’t want the next amazing thing. I wanted more of that sorbet.

So, since then, I have taken it upon myself to whip up a sorbet with some regularity. The beauty of it is that virtually any fruit can be made into sorbet, and, no matter what, it’s always a treat. And you can have more than a thimbleful at my house. It is nice because you don’t have to have special ingredients around. To make ice cream, I have to have some sort of cream and/ or half and half, and those things are not really staples in my refrigerator, as much as I’d like them to be. But for sorbet, I just have to cut up whatever fruit is in my bowl, add sugar water, blend and freeze. Boom. Dessert. And it’s fat free. I mean, yes, there’s the calorie/ sugar factor, but just keep telling yourself it is fat free and you’ll feel better.

P.S. If you haven’t bought yourself a Cuisinart ice cream maker yet, go ahead and do that. It will change your frozen treat world forever.

Mango-Citrus Sorbet 3 ripe mangos 2 cups diced pineapple Zest and juice of one orange 1 1/2 cups water 1 1/2 cups sugar In a saucepan, heat and stir the water, sugar and orange zest until the sugar is completely dissolved. Set it aside to cool.

Meanwhile, peel and cut up your mangos and pineapple and combine them with the juice from your orange.

(If you have never cut a mango up before, just know this: the pit is an undefined area. When you cut into the mango, eventually you will hit a hard center. I just slice the mango close to the pit, and then I cut it up into chunks. It’s a little tricky.)

Bibimbap

Bibimbap brings Asian flavors home

By Meryl Carver-Allmond Special to the Journal-World

We spent a recent morning at a friend’s birthday party and were starving for some real food. As luck would have it, we were standing outside of Ramen Bowls, a new restaurant we had been intending to try for several weeks.

Even if we had not been curious to try something new, the smell would have lured us in. The scented rice, pork belly and mixture of spices were intoxicating. We were led to a table upstairs, and that’s where my world changed.

That’s where I ate my first bowl of bibimbap.

It’s going to sound stupid when I tell you what bibimbap is. It’s just rice and lightly cooked veggies, typically with some spices, slow-cooked meat and an egg on top. But, like all the best comfort food, its simplicity is what makes it something you’ll crave at four in the morning.

The tang of the kimchi, the crunch of the blanched carrots, the savory satisfaction

of tender pork — the alchemy of the three is magical. And I haven’t even gotten started with the egg yet.

Whether poached or fried, bibimbap is traditionally served with a lightly cooked egg on top. Once broken with an eager fork or chopstick, the golden egg yolk coats the rice and vegetables to make a light sauce that pulls the whole dish together.

If you’re eating out, certainly head to Ramen Bowls and give this dish a try. But if you’d like to make it at home, here’s a close second I’ve come up with. Feel free to alter the ingredients to your palate and what you have on hand when a craving strikes.

Bibimbap Makes about 4 servings 1 Boneless Boston butt pork roast (these tend to come between 2-3 pounds, which will leave plenty for pork tacos or another meal) 3 cups chicken or vegetable stock 1 cup jasmine rice 2 carrots

1/2 bunch of kale or chard 1 tablespoon fresh ginger 1 clove garlic

For each bowl Kimchi Sesame oil 1 egg Sesame seeds Hot sauce Put the pork roast in a crock pot, cover with stock and cook on high for about 8 hours. When the pork roast is done it should easily come apart with a fork.

Shred the roast and set aside.

Using a rice cooker or your favorite stovetop method, cook 1 cup of jasmine rice.

While the rice is cooking, cut the carrots into matchsticks and chop the kale into ribbons.

Boil a few cups of water in a saucepan, then add the carrots for 2 minutes — you want them to still have some crunch when they’re done. Drain the carrots and discard the water.

Chop the garlic and ginger finely, then add it to the same pot you used for the carrots.

Add the kale and about 1/4 cup of water. Tossing the kale together with the garlic and ginger, cook it until it’s bright

green — again, this should take about 2 minutes.

Now that you have almost everything prepared, assemble your bowls. Start with a layer of rice, then add the pork roast, carrots and kale. Add a dollop of kimchi and drizzle about 1/2 teaspoon of sesame oil over the top of each serving.

With your bowls at the ready, it’s time to cook the eggs. Either fry or poach one egg for each person you’re serving. Because the slightly runny egg yolk is what really makes the sauce, the only rule is not to overcook the eggs.

That said, they weren’t a normal sight in Mid— Megan Stuke is a working western groceries stores mom, a practical cook and an when I was growing up impractical hostess. (as far as I can remem-

ber), so I didn’t have much of a chance to get acquainted. And the one time I do vividly remember trying one was when I visited Australia in high school, and being a teenager with no fresh produce skills, I did a horrible job of picking one that was ripe.

So, yeah, it wasn’t until about 10 years after that first-time experience that I knowingly had a ripe, juicy mango. And I realized that I loved the bright, fresh taste.

Since then, they’ve been a staple in all sorts of things: smoothies, curries, salads and I even use them in a fabulous mango-baked tofu recipe.

It’s hard not to want to add them to everything because they’re sweet, full of vitamin C, vitamin

A and fiber.

That said, one of the very best pairings I’ve ever found for mango is avocado. The richness of the avocado and the sweetness of the mango just work in perfect harmony. In Florida, I’d slice them both thin with a veggie peeler and put those long, thin slices on sandwiches. Here’s my updated version of that delicious (and easy) lunch.

Mr. Carson, bring me my wine! And you, too, Mr. Spock.

In what is perhaps the strongest evidence yet of wine’s power to unite, fans of upper-crusty period drama “Downton Abbey,” sci-fi classic “Star Trek” and the proudly down home show “Duck Dynasty” can all buy wines bottled under license to their favorite show.

Must drink TV? The Downton Abbey wines, a white and a red (retailing at $16.99), come from Wines That Rock, a company that makes wine under the names of rock groups, including the Rolling Stones. They’re made

by Dulong Grand Vins, a Bordeaux winery, which makes sense since the show has featured a number of wines from that famous French wine region.

Wine has been a big part of the British series, with butler Mr. Carson taking great pains over which wines to serve with dinner. One of the wines served at the big dinner party in the second episode of the fourth season was a 1919 Chateau Coutet, a big thrill for the family that now owns the southern Bordeaux winery (which produces a well-regarded dessert wine).

Producers of the show, who are known for their faithful attention to detail, approached the family and asked for permission to use the name, then made a prop bottle to use in filming. “We were thrilled,” says Aline Baly, co-owner and director of marketing and communications for Chateau Coutet.

Meanwhile, “Duck Dynasty,” an A&E show about a family business that makes products for duck hunters, primarily a duck call, might not seem such a seamless fit for the wine world.

But Bob Torkelson, chief operating officer of Trinchero Family Estates, the Napa Valley winery that makes the Duck Commander wines, says the Trincheros and the Robertsons (the Louisiana family featured on the show) have a lot in common in terms of running family businesses.

The Robertsons met the Trincheros after asking around for recommendations on wineries.

Willie and Korie Robertson have visited the winery and contributed to decisions on blending and packaging. The wines, released late last year and retailing for about $10, are available in a red blend, a chardonnay and a pink moscato; a pinot grigio also is planned.

And what of “Star Trek?” Is there a spacewine continuum?

Yes, actually, there is, says Peter Messa, spokesman for Vinport which handles marketing for the Star Trek wines.

“Star Trek has many wine references in it, the most famous probably being Klingon bloodwine,” he notes. In fact, food and drink plays a big part in the series, with toasts often raised to celebrate interspecies diplomacy and other milestones.

Santa Fe — I should probably not be confessing this during Girl Scout cookie season, but I was nearly kicked out of Brownies. There was a ceremony — a big deal, supposedly, where you cross a fake bridge into Girl Scout-land — and I had to sit in the corner while the other 9-yearolds practiced the bridge walk. I think I got in trouble for talking.

I wanted to be a Girl Scout. I sold tons of cookies — the most in my troop — as a Brownie (OK, my dad bought most of them). I loved the idea of collecting the most badges and of wearing them across my chest like a prize ribbon at the fair.

But as I sat in the auditorium at Woodrow Wilson Elementary School that afternoon and listened to the Girl Scout leader discuss the merits of trading in my brown dress for a green one, I just couldn’t do it. That bridge had not only not been crossed, it had been burned.

Cookie season always reminds me of this. Sure, it still stings a little, but over the past 30, 40 years or so, I’ve developed a reliable coping strategy: a few boxes of Peanut Butter Patties (aka “Tagalongs”), stashed in my freezer, eaten in twos and threes, until the next sixweek selling season rolls around again.

I might as well tell you, these cookies that remind me of Reese’s peanut butter cups are my favorites.

They are not just fine on their own — they are fabulous! As are many of the other varieties.

But this year, I challenged myself to come up with recipes using Girl Scout cookies. And I love a challenge, especially one that involves cookies.

There’s no sew-on badge for my efforts, but these resulting sweet treats — a raspberry tart, peanut butter blondies, mint ice cream and apple-cranberry crisp — are reward enough.

Self outlines Embiid injury timeline

KANSAS SPRING SPORTS

Welcome home

KU softball wins two in return from road

By Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self took the time Tuesday night in a telephone conversation to clarify any confusion as to when freshman center Joel Embiid suffered a stress fracture of the lower back and how he and his family were informed.

Self shared a “medically documented” time line of events.

All quotes in this story are Self’s, unless otherwise attributed: Embiid “ t w e a k e d Embiid his back” late in the West Virginia game on Feb. 8. Two days later, Embiid played at Kansas State and it “was obvious that (because of his back), he was not himself. We got an MRI on Jo immediately after the game, and the MRI did not show any stress fracture.”

Self rested Embiid for the TCU game over the center’s objections. Embiid returned to the court at Texas Tech, eight days after he had last played.

“We rested him for one week and he became symptom-free and was able to go back to being 100 percent on the basketball court,” Self said.

Embiid produced 18 points and eight rebounds in a 64-63 victory in Lubbock and then averaged 12.5 points and 10 rebounds in games against Texas and Oklahoma in Allen Fieldhouse.

“On March 1, at Oklahoma State, Jo late in the game hurt his back, and at the conclusion of the game, after being diagnosed in the locker room by our medical staff, I asked the staff how Jo was doing,” Self said. “They told me, ‘Bill, we think he has the symptoms of someone who has a stress fracture.’ That was approximately 11 p.m.

We got home at 5 a.m. and at 7:30 March 2, Sunday, he was receiving an MRI. The MRI was read by an independent radiologist that contacted our staff and confirmed at approximately 12 noon that he had developed a stress fracture.”

At 1 p.m. that day, Self said he, KU’s medical staff, and Embiid met to discuss the results.

That evening, Self said, he and the medical staff visited

KANSAS UNIVERSITY SOPHOMORE CHALEY BRICKEY SWINGS FOR A TWO-RUN SINGLE in KU’s first game of a home-opening doubleheader against South Dakota State, Tuesday at KU. Brickey went 5-for-5 with a home run and six RBIs in the Jayhawks’ two victories.

Chaley Brickey spent most of the past few weeks punishing opposing softball pitchers around the Southeast. Tuesday afternoon at Arrocha Ballpark, the Kansas University sophomore shortstop finally got a chance to do the same in Lawrence.

South Dakota State’s pitchers fared no better than earlier KU opponents this season, as Brickey went 5-for-5, with a home run and six RBIs, in a pair of 8-0, fiveinning victories for the Jayhawks in their home opener.

KU baseball opens home season with loss to ORU

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

As far as home openers go, the Kansas University baseball team’s matchup with Oral Roberts on Tuesday had all the makings of a perfect day, except for the final outcome.

And even that — an 8-7 loss — was in question until KU’s last at-bat.

Home for the first time since racing out to starts of 9-0 and 12-1 in 15 consecutive road games, the red-hot Jayhawks (12-4) jumped on top of Oral Roberts with a run in the first inning and three more in the second. KU appeared to be headed for a

feel-good afternoon and a 1-0 start at Hoglund Ballpark on a day when temperatures topped 70 degrees and the sun made it feel more like mid-May than early March.

However, just as quickly as the wind knocked temperatures into the 40s, Oral Roberts’ hitters beat up KU starting pitcher Drew Morovick for four consecutive hits in a four-run third that gave the visitors the upperhand for much of the rest of the day.

Morovick, who gave up eight hits and five runs in Richard Gwin/Journal-World Photo three innings, started the game after throwing four KANSAS JUNIOR CONNOR MCCAY (7) SLIDES safely into second base after an Oral Roberts player overthrows shortstop Please see BASEBALL, page 3C Joey Migliaccio, Tuesday at Hoglund Ballpark.

12, Prep coach: KU star had back pain last year BIG ROUND 1

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University freshman center Joel Embiid has experienced back discomfort off and on during the early stages of his stillyoung basketball career.

“He had that a little bit last year. He tried to fight through it, mostly after the season,” Embiid’s high school coach, Justin Harden of The Rock School in Gainesville, Fla., said in a phone conversation Tuesday.

“It started hurting him Please see KEEGAN, page 4C about this time last year. He

played through it,” Harden added of back stiffness.

Embiid, who started playing organized basketball after he turned 15 — he played his junior and senior years of high school in Florida — also suffered from back spasms at last spring’s Nike Hoops Summit.

“When you are 7-feet tall, there’s a lot more to take care of. You are 7-feet tall.

There’s more stuff to be concerned with because your body is bigger,” Harden said, referring to tweaking different areas of the body.

“With some rest, he

seemed to have it corrected (entering freshman season at KU). I’m sure with the rest he gets now ... they have better doctors and trainers and staff over there (at KU) to rehab him and get him back to normal. I’m sure he’ll be all right soon enough,” Harden added.

KU coach Bill Self said Monday that Embiid, who has a stress fracture in his lower back, will miss this week’s Big 12 Tournament and likely at least the first weekend of the NCAAs. “What I’m happy about is he was named (Big 12) defen-

sive player of the year. That’s phenomenal, and secondteam all-Big 12, so I’m excited about that,” Harden said.

“Some of Joel’s teammates from last year are back for spring break. They are all excited for him (for his accomplishments at KU).” l Committee curious about Joel: The NCAA Tournament selection committee will be in contact with KU officials throughout the week regarding the injury status of Embiid for the upcoming

Dodgers rally past Royals Surprise, Ariz. (ap) — Dan Haren pitched four effective innings, and the Los Angeles Dodgers rallied to beat the Kansas City Royals, 7-5, on Tuesday.

Haren yielded seven singles, walked one and struck out one.

“I gave up seven hits. I think they were all singles,” Haren said. “For the most part, a lot of ground balls which is always a good thing for me. It means I’m keeping it down in the zone.

“At the beginning of last year, I was haunted by the home run, just leaving too many balls up out over the plate,” he said.

“The second half was keeping the ball down and getting more results like today, a lot of groundball outs.”

The Dodgers leave Arizona after their game Sunday for two regular season games in Sydney, Australia. Haren said he has yet to get a “definitive answer” on whether he would make the trip. Clayton Kershaw and Hyun-Jin Ryu are the scheduled starters against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

“If I had to do it, I would do it,” Haren said. “I told them I would have no problem doing it. If I’m not going to throw there and I could stay back I think that’s better for everybody really.”

Noel Cuevas hit a three-run homer in the ninth and Scott Van Slyke a two-run drive in the eighth.

Justin Maxwell went 3 for 5 for the Royals, including a tworun single in the eighth.

Royals left-hander Jason Vargas allowed a run on four hits in four innings, the first run off him in nine innings over three starts.

Starting time Dodgers: Haren threw 65 pitches, 39 for strikes, before departing.

“I got through four. I could have gone five,” Haren said.

“I’m ahead where I need to be really. I’m a little tired. I don’t know if it’s a dead arm or something like that. I’ve thrown a lot so far for being March 11.”

Royals: Vargas, who will start the second game of the season, gave up a run on four hits, a walk and a hit batter, while striking out two in four innings.

Trainer’s room Dodgers: Zack Greinke, who has faced only one batter in spring training because of a calf injury, took part in fielding drills Tuesday. If he has no discomfort Wednesday, he is scheduled to pitch two innings against the Diamondbacks.

Royals: All-Star catcher Salvador Perez has a bruised left palm from a foul tip.

safety Antoine Bethea during a playoff game January in Indianapolis. McCluster has agreed to terms on a contract with the Tennessee Titans.

Chiefs’ free agents find big deals elsewhere Kansas City, Mo. — As the first hour of free agency came to a close Tuesday, the flood of players headed out of Arrowhead Stadium for big-money deals had finally slowed to a stop.

Pro Bowl left tackle Branden Albert was a Dolphin. Pro Bowl punt returner Dexter McCluster was a Titan. Defensive tackle Tyson Jackson and guard Jon Asamoah were headed for the Falcons, while fellow guard Geoff Schwartz appeared on his way to the Giants.

All of them were significant contributors to last year’s dramatic turnaround, when Kansas City went from two wins in 2012 to an 11-5 record and the playoffs.

Meanwhile, the only move Kansas City made Tuesday was to re-sign defensive back and special teams standout Husain Abdullah.

The Chiefs had earlier brought back linebacker Frank Zombo.

None of that was surprising for the cashstrapped Chiefs, who turned over about half of their roster after the arrival of general manager John Dorsey and coach Andy Reid last season. They only have about $9.6 million available under the salary cap this year, and roughly $5 million of that will be used to sign their own draft picks.

So, while a handful of their former players agreed to deals elsewhere worth more than $100 million, the Chiefs were forced to start considering the second tier of free agents.

Those deals may develop in the coming days and weeks. The Chiefs need help at several spots, including wide receiver, free safety and offensive guard.

Perhaps the least surprising move Tuesday was the Dolphins agreeing to terms with Albert on a $46 million, five-year deal. Kansas City franchised Albert last season before nearly working out a trade to Miami. Negotiations eventually fell through, and Albert played well enough — when he was healthy — to earn his first trip to the Pro Bowl.

The Chiefs at least have options to replace him on the roster. Right tackle Eric Fisher, the first overall pick in last year’s draft, could swing to the left side, or up-and-coming backup Donald Stephenson could step into the void.

PRO FOOTBALL

Ware, Peppers released A couple of accomplished NFL pass rushers suddenly became available when DeMarcus Ware and Julius Peppers were released to create room under the salary cap in two of the biggest moves at Tuesday’s start of the freeagency signing period.

The Bears cut ties with Peppers, who has 118 1/2 sacks in 12 seasons, as part of a series of moves aimed at improving their defense, including agreeing to a five-year contract with former Raiders end Lamarr Houston.

The Cowboys let Ware and his 117 sacks go.

With the cap rising $10 million to a record $133 million, a crop of players quickly found new homes as soon as the market officially opened Tuesday afternoon — and offensive linemen were a popular commodity.

Left tackle Jared Veldheer and the Cardinals agreed to a five-year contract worth up to $35 million. Veldheer left the Raiders, who replaced him by giving former Rams lineman Rodger Saffold a five-year deal. Another left tackle, Eugene Monroe, agreed to a five-year contract to stay with the Ravens.

The Jaguars also were busy, including a trade that sent quarterback Blaine Gabbert to the 49ers for a sixth-round draft pick, and re-signing cornerback Will Blackmon to a two-year deal.

Dolphins send Martin to 49ers San Francisco — Jonathan Martin, the offensive tackle who accused a Miami Dolphins teammate of bullying, was traded to the San Francisco 49ers on Tuesday night and will be reunited with his college coach, Jim Harbaugh.

The Dolphins announced the move on Tuesday night on the first day of NFL free agency.

San Francisco then confirmed the trade, saying only that it would send an undisclosed draft choice to Miami and that Martin still must pass a physical to complete the deal.

“Big news.... Beyond Blessed ... Opportunities are few in the NFL... Can’t wait to get to work (hashtag)9erEmpire,” Martin posted on Twitter.

Martin’s move cross country brings him back to the Bay Area to play again, and he has been at Stanford taking classes.

SLED-DOG RACING

Seavey wins Iditarod Nome, Alaska — Dallas Seavey ran a blistering pace to rally from third place and win his second Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race early Tuesday in a record-breaking finish, after a sudden storm blew the front-runner out of the competition and kept another musher minutes away from her first win.

The victory was so strange that Seavey said he didn’t even realize he won the race until about 90 seconds after he crossed the finish line.

“Man, this is a lot of people coming out to see third place come in,” he thought about the hubbub when he arrived in Nome early Tuesday morning.

“I just found out that I won. I think you guys knew before I did,” he told a packed convention hall in Nome early Tuesday morning.

He thought he was “racing my dad for third,” he said. But the trailing musher he thought was his father, defending champion Mitch Seavey, was actually Aliy Zirkle, and they were battling for first place.

TODAY IN SPORTS 1970 — Austin Carr scores 52 points to lead Notre Dame in a 112-82 win over Kentucky in the regional semifinals of the NCAA men’s tournament. Dan Issel of Kentucky scores 44 points.

1985 — Larry Bird scores 60 points, including Boston’s last 16, to set a Celtics record and lead them to a 126-115 victory over Atlanta. Bird hit 22 of 36 field goals and 15 of 16 free throws.

2002 — Siena (17-18) with an 81-77 victory over Alcorn State in the play-in game, becomes first team in 47 years to win an NCAA men’s basketball tournament game with a losing record.

2009 — Syracuse outlasts Connecticut in the second-longest Division I game ever played, capping a Big East tournament quarterfinal doubleheader in which the second- and thirdranked teams in the country both lose. Andy Rautins hits a three-pointer 10 seconds into the sixth overtime, to give the Orange their first lead since regulation and they go on to a 127-117 victory over the thirdranked Huskies. The game finishes one overtime short of the record set in Cincinnati’s 75-73 victory over Bradley on Dec. 21, 1981. Much earlier in the evening, West Virginia beats No. 2 Pittsburgh, 74-60.

Megan Smith said of Brickey after KU won its sixth straight to improve to 17-7. “She’s so confident. You can see it in her approach ... She’s just a force right now.”

Hitting .449 this season, with a team-leading six home runs, to go with 20 RBIs, Brickey has done much of that damage in the past six games. During the winning streak, the sophomore from Haltom City, Texas, is 14-for-19, with 12 RBIs and a home run. Last week’s games also earned her the distinction of co-Big 12 Player of the Week, the league announced Monday.

Lately, Brickey has learned to make pitchers work, while staying relaxed at the plate.

“We’re asking a lot of Drew,” Price said. “He’s been really good, and today he couldn’t get ahead (in the count).

They knocked his fastball around pretty good. If he would’ve pitched tomorrow and had another day’s rest, it might have been a different story.”

into a 6-4 deficit most of the way.

KU juniors Michael Suiter and Connor McKay came through with exactly what the Jayhawks needed with back-to-back RBI at-bats in the bottom of the seventh to give Kansas a 7-6 lead.

Suiter’s triple to leftcenter field tied the game by driving in Tommy Mirabelli and Justin Protacio, who both reached via fielder’s choice earlier in the inning. McKay then brought Suiter home with a hard-hit ground-out to the left side after an aggressive at-bat.

Newman and junior third baseman Chanin Naudin did the same in Game 2.

Smith said the Jayhawks have progressed all season, and really began to come around this past weekend, in Tampa, Fla., where the winning streak began.

Sophomore pitcher Kelsey Kessler (10-5) opened Tuesday with a 10-strikeout victory, and junior hurler Alicia Pille (6-2) followed with a two-hit shutout of S.D. State (5-14).

Said Brickey: “With Kessler and Pille out there, I know they’re gonna do their job and take care of business. They know they have a defense behind them that will take care of them if they get ground balls and pop flies.”

Kessler has gone 19.1 innings since she last allowed a run — in a KU win Friday against South Florida.

Eudora boys end state tourney drought

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

It has been 17 years since Eudora High’s boys basketball team last played in the state tournament.

That will change when the Cardinals face Holton at 4:45 p.m. Thursday in the Class 4A-Divison II state quarterfinals at Hartman Arena in Park City.

Eudora (17-5, ranked No. 3 in 4A-DII by the Kansas Basketball Coaches Association) punched its ticket with two sub-state victories over Kansas City Ward and Osawatomie. The players celebrated afterward with members of Eudora’s 1997 state tournament team at a coach’s house and at Pizza Shuttle in Lawrence.

“Last week the home crowd was really good; our student body was really, really good,” Eudora coach Kyle Deterding said. “It was a lot of fun.

The kids enjoyed it and played hard. It was a good time. Hopefully they’re having fun now and starting to get ready to get focused in on what’s going ahead.”

The Cardinals battled injuries at the beginning of the season and lost their first two games of the year. Senior point guard Andrew Ballock

“In order to win onerun games, your best players have to clutch up for you and our two best players came through,” Price said. “Those same guys had the same chance over the weekend and weren’t able to get it done. Unfortunately, we took the lead and gave it right back.”

Price said KU’s defense played as well as it could, and he credited his team in the field for keeping the Jayhawks in the game and not letting ORU (7-8) add to its 6-4 lead in the middle innings.

KU will open Big 12 play this weekend in Austin, Texas, with a threegame series against Texas that is slated to begin Friday night.

KU golf finishes The Jayhawks’ next home game is set for last at Louisiana March 21, when they Lafayette, La. — The open a three-game series Kansas University men’s against Dartmouth.

missed the first six games as he recovered from a fractured ankle.

“Finally we’re just jelling together,” Ballock said. “We all play well together. We all want to contribute.”

Freshman Mitchell Ballock, sophomore Austin Downing and Andrew Ballock have combined for 70 percent of Eudora’s points this year. Mitchell Ballock averages more than 21 points per game while Downing contributes 13.

However, there are plenty of role players who get less recognition but have helped the Cardinals win 12 of their past 13 games. “(Zach Scroggin) is kind of undersized but we always make him go guard their biggest, best, dirtiest guy,” Deterding said. “He’s the guy, so he takes on all of the challenges. It’s really tough sometimes because everybody he plays is bigger and stronger and weighs more than him, and he has to go in and battle with those guys night in and night out, and he does a good job.”

Downing added: “(Senior Skyler Shockley) brings a lot of energy.

He plays defense. (Zhade Wray) and Zach, they get a lot of rebounds in some games. If they’re not rebounding, they’re getting

me the ball to score or something. It’s not just us three who score; they score, too. They help the team out a lot.”

Holton (17-5, ranked No. 4) has won 10 of its last 11 games. After a 6461 overtime loss to Paola on Feb. 13, the Cardinals have won their last six games by an average of 22 points, but nobody is overlooking any future opponent.

“We can’t just think we’re going to blow every team out,” Downing said. “Obviously, they are going to state for a reason. They’re obviously good. When we get down there, we’ve got to just be ready to take on any team that comes.

We just have to play our game and hope we come out with the ‘W’ every time.”

Eudora took fourth place at state in 1997, losing by 13 points in the semifinals to Medicine Lodge. With the city’s support over the weekend, this year’s Cardinals are hoping to make their fans proud.

“It was pretty cool. The crowd was supporting us and the student section was crazy,” Andrew Ballock said. “It was nice to get a couple of good wins going into state. Hopefully we’ve got three more in us.”

KANSAS FOOTBALL

Seniors eye strong finish

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Stowers said. “The hoping is done. We expect to win.”

Like Bourbon, Stowers believes that the demands of a fresh start, the influx of new players and a change in roles for some of the veterans are enough to put the big-picture thinking on the shelf for the next month.

“It gives me a new challenge, something else to take on,” said Stowers, who served as a team captain in 2013. “I’m always trying to find different things to better myself and (this spring) gives me a little spark to take my mind off of this being my last year.”

While spring ball brings with it a new offense, a few intense position battles, a couple of new coaches and renewed hope for the season ahead, the one thing that has not changed is the Jayhawks’ team-first mentality.

“It hasn’t hit me quite yet,” said senior Jake Heaps, who enters the spring battling to be the team’s starting quarterback. “But I do realize this is my last season and there is a sense of urgency to make it my best season and the best season it can possibly be for our team.”

The Kansas University football squad’s spring practices mark the beginning of the end of two dozen college careers.

But Tuesday, as the team went through its third day of spring practices and first in full pads, the majority of the Jayhawks’ seniors said their focus was elsewhere.

“I haven’t been thinking about it being my last one at all,” said senior running back Brandon Bourbon, who entered the spring atop the depth chart for the first time in his career. “Just because I have so much to worry about, like where am I supposed to line up, this new call, what’s that mean and stuff like that.

It takes all your concentration.”

Senior defensive lineman Keon Stowers is one of the seniors pushing aside nostalgia to build the foundation for a rewarding final season, especially after doing the heavy lifting during the program’s lean years.

Even though Stowers came to Kansas from a junior college, he’s entering his third season with the team and wants to convey a simple message to Talib heading to Denver KU’s fan base.

NCAA Tournament, committee chair Ron Wellman told ESPN’s Andy Katz on Tuesday.

“I can assure you it will be a detailed discussion as to when he is going to be available, and we will be monitoring and communicating with Kansas throughout the week as to what his availability will be going forward,” Wellman told Katz.

“Do you reward teams for what they have done in the season, or do you project what they are going to do?” Wellman added, referring to where the committee will seed KU for the upcoming NCAAs. “If you are projecting what they are going to do, then that injury, of course, takes on more importance.

If you are rewarding them for what they have done in the season, then you just base your decisions, whether it be selection or seeding, upon what they have shown thus far in the season and their accomplishments this season. I think that is a discussion that we will have in the committee room.”

Stuckey signs Former Jayhawk Darrell Stuckey, who spent the 2013 NFL season as a special teams captain with the San Diego Chargers, recently signed a four-year contract extension with the team, which drafted him in the fourth round in 2010.

Pro Day set for Friday Friday marks the program’s annual pro day in which a handful of scouts from around the NFL will come to Lawrence to run several former Jayhawks through a combine-type workout at KU’s facilities.

Running back James Sims is the headliner of KU’s draft hopefuls. Kansas coach Charlie Weis has said in the past that Sims has the talent to play professional football.

In all, 12-15 former Jayhawks are expected to participate in Friday’s skills showcase, which will take place in the morning and is closed to the public.

with a spine specialist who has worked, “with NBA teams and is very familiar with this exact injury. He confirmed the diagnosis and worked with our doctors jointly on a rehab program.”

On March 3, Self said, Embiid’s family was contacted in Cameroon and was told, “that Jo had developed a stress fracture and that it was confirmed by multiple doctors, but if they wanted to in any way, shape or form get a second opinion, we would do that with any student-athlete.”

The family later informed KU that they wanted a specific spine specialist in Los Angeles to look at Embiid. The doctor fit the 7-footer into his schedule this past Monday.

“He (the LA specialist) confirmed what we already knew, that he had a stress fracture in his lower back,” Self said. “The diagnosis and treatment plan has never changed. And all physicians are in agreement that Jo should not play until his symptoms allow him to play.”

KU delayed the announcement on the stress fracture until after Embiid saw the Los Angeles spine specialist.

When will his symptoms allow him to play?

“The time frame on that is different with all

individuals, but certainly Jo is working hard to put himself in a position where he can get back on the court,” Self said.

UConn center Emeka Okafor missed two Big East tournament games with a stress fracture of the lower back in 2004 and went on to lead the Huskies to the national championship that season, scoring 24 points in the title game. Okafor took a path similar to Embiid’s in that he received feedback from spine specialists in two different cities and, like Embiid, was projected to be drafted in the first few picks. Also, initial MRI tests taken after Okafor began to experience back pain did not show any stress fracture.

The second specialist Okafor saw was Dr. Andrew Dossett in Dallas, according to a March 2004 story published by ESPN.com.

Dr. Jeff Anderson, identified in the story as UConn’s director of sports medicine, told ESPN.com: “Dr. Dossett told Emeka that he finds this problem in hundreds of elite athletes and they’re still playing. What happens is the stress fracture is on a tiny little part of the bone and then the extra motion triggers muscle around it to go into pain and then a spasm and that’s when you see Emeka’s face wince. He told him it’s not a longterm problem. This is not a catastrophic finding.”

Okafor was selected second, behind Dwight Howard, in the 2004 NBA draft. He has averaged 12.3 points and 9.9 rebounds in nine NBA seasons, though he has sat out this year, his tenth, while recovering from a neck injury.

If Okafor could bounce back so quickly, might Embiid be prepared to play for KU as early as March 28, should the team advance to the Sweet 16? Self reiterated that everybody’s different.

“How quickly and if Jo comes back will be determined by his symptoms and how well he does in rehab,” Self said. “I am not optimistic that there is a definite time frame, but I’m very optimistic that it’s possible that if our team is successful enough, he could play again this year.”

Self won’t be the one to give the green light, but showed before the TCU game Embiid missed he could flash the red light against his player’s wishes.

“That decision will be 100 percent Joel’s, based on his health, based on his symptoms and based on the doctors agreeing with that (if Embiid says he is symptom-free and wants to play),” Self said. “In no way will any of our players, including Joel, be put at risk. If anything, we are taking a conservative approach, as evidenced by resting him the first time that he experienced any discomfort at all.”

Wednesday, March 12, 2014

Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married for more than 50 years and once had a very enjoyable and compatible sex life, even though my husband didn’t want any children and refused to discuss the subject with me.

After 27 years of wedded bliss, my husband had major surgery. He developed erectile dysfunction and became afraid of dying. Our sex life ended. But he was depressed and began drinking heavily, especially when he retired early for health reasons.

Recently, while going through some paperwork, I came across a handwritten note that contained great deal of sexual innuendo, and it was not directed

at me. This totally shocked me. The note was written about 10 years ago. I asked him to explain the note, and of course, he denied he wrote it and became very agitated, claiming he always has been faithful in our marriage.

After being an understanding wife all of these years, I now question whether he can be trusted. What should I do? He will never go to a marriage

‘Nashville’ plot hints at renewal Can “Nashville” (9 p.m., ABC) be saved? It hasn’t been renewed for a third season, nor has it been canceled. On the plus side, it’s still an addictive melodrama with some great music.

But its audience is consistently smaller than its network competition, “CSI” and “Chicago PD.” To put this in some perspective, “Mixology,” the new and thoroughly horrible comedy on ABC, loses roughly half of its “Modern Family” lead-in audience.

W h e n “Nashville” follows “Mixology,” its audience gets even smaller.

But “Nashville” may still come back for season three, as its frothy swirl of events seems to be accelerating, as if heading toward some conclusion.

We’ve seen two secondary characters die, the scheming Peggy (Kimberly Williams Paisley) and the Machiavellian Lamar (Powers Boothe). And the miserably closeted Will (Chris Carmack) nearly threw himself in front of a train. Nothing says hunky country heartthrob like pulling a stunt from the pages of “Anna Karenina.”

With all due respect, Lamar needed to go. His character always seemed like somebody from another show, from another decade. Even Rayna’s (Britton) reaction to her father’s passing (throwing a tumbler of scotch at paintings on the wall) seemed a tad more “Dallas” than “Nashville.”

Will Juliette’s (Hayden Panettiere) up-and-down career trajectory adjust to her newfound maturity? (Not a chance!)

Will the budding country folk trio of Gunnar (Sam Palladio), Avery (Jonathan Jackson) and Zoey (Chaley Rose) hit the big time or just keep on keeping it real at the Bluebird? And how will Scarlett (Clare Bowen), America’s most angelic speed freak, adjust to watching her ex-best- friend and her two exlovers making beautiful music together?

counselor. — Upset in Illinois Dear Upset: This note is 10 years old and doesn’t say very much. Your husband is not likely to admit to anything, and in fact, there may be nothing to confess.

Either forgive his failings and concentrate on the good marriage you claim to have had, or get into counseling for yourself and decide what your next move is.

We think the note is not evidence of a betrayal, and you should let it go.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Wednesday, March 12: This year your life evolves in a very exciting way. If you are single, you could meet someone while traveling. If you are attached, the two of you enjoy being together.

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) If handling a serious matter, you might have difficulty staying focused. Tonight: All smiles.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You will express what you want, and others will listen.

Tonight: Make it easy.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Try to let go and get into the spirit of the day. You will be much happier if you do.

Tonight: Let the chips fall where they may.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You could be more willing to understand what is happening once you relax. Recognize that a problem will correct itself without your interference. Tonight: Midweek break.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You will be expressive, despite someone being very hard on you. You might wonder why you must do something a certain way. Tonight: On center stage.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You know when you have gone too far. Tonight: Say “yes” to living.

divorcing his wives meant they divorced the rest of the family. I love my son, but I don’t like his demand. What is your advice? — Nantucket Dear Nantucket: We dislike it when people issue demands to others about who their friends can be. Are there grandchildren involved? If so, inform your son that it is necessary to maintain a civil relationship with his exes for the sake of the children.

Otherwise, determine what the consequences will be. If your son threatens to cut off contact with you if you communicate with his exes, you might choose to stop.

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

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Emphasize what you want and why you want it. Your ability to zero in on the basics will allow you to take care of necessities first. Tonight: In weekend mode already.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You could feel pressured by a boss, a parent or a respected individual. You might agree with this person, but you’ll need to decide what to do on your own.

Tonight: Till the wee hours.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You’ll act spontaneously and get good results. Let your fiery spirit speak. Tonight: Follow the music.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might feel as if you have very little choice, as someone else who has a lot of support seems to dominate the scene. Tonight: A cozy dinner for two.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You could be thinking some very negative thoughts, so try to turn them around. Tonight: Say “yes.”

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You could see a situation develop differently from how you might have expected it to.

Tonight: Out late.
