Family puts faith in medical marijuana to help 2-year-old son

Kansas, Arizona win suit on voter citizenship

“Knowing

there is another treatment out there, I don’t think I could say take half his brain without giving this a try.”

By John Hanna Associated Press

Topeka — A federal judge on Wednesday ordered the U.S. Election Assistance Commission to help Kansas and Arizona enforce laws requiring new voters to provide proof of their U.S. citizenship.

U.S. District Judge Eric Melgren in Wichita ruled the commission has no legal authority to deny requests from Kansas and Arizona to add state-specific instructions to a national voter Kobach registration form. Melgren ordered the commission to immediately revise the national form.

The states and their top election officials — secretaries of state Kris Kobach of Kansas and Ken Bennett of Arizona, both conservative Republicans — sued the agency to force the action.

Both states require new voters to provide a birth certificate, passport or other

RYAN AND KATHY REED share a moment with their 2-year-old son, Otis, who experiences hundreds of seizures daily and is now in a lower-body cast for a broken femur caused by medications, a diet meant to help reduce the seizures and lack of physical activity. With the failure of medication to improve Otis’ condition, Ryan will relocate May 1 to Colorado to start medical marijuana treatments for his son.

There’s a lot of pride of place in that choice.

His parents, Ryan and Kathy Reed, moved back to Kansas from New York City to be closer to their families. They bought and upgraded a two-story house in the Oread neighborhood of Lawrence, and Kathy started working for Kansas University, where she had earned her undergraduate degree.

Brownback calls for equalization of K-12 funding

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Gov. Sam Brownback called on lawmakers today to approve full equalization funding for two areas of the state’s K-12 education budget, a move that is estimated to cost an additional $129 million per year.

“The solution to the eq- Brownback uity problem will require significant new funding,” Brownback said in a statement released this afternoon, “and the administration will work with legislative leadership to identify the necessary additional funding.”

But he left open the possibility of paying at least part of that cost by finding “efficiencies” in other parts of the education budget, a suggestion that Democratic leaders say Please see SCHOOLS, page 6A l Senate bill links school funding, policy

County closer to agritourism solution

By Elliot Hughes ehughes@ljworld.com

The Douglas County Board of Commissioners took a step closer to solving its agritrourism regulations snafu Wednesday when it received recommendations from the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission.

County commissioners appeared to take a favorable view to the recommendations, which distinguish between smaller agribusinesses and larger commercial enterprises.

But the board will mull over the memorandum for two weeks before voting April 2.

The proposed regulations define a Tier 1 agribusiness as one that provides parking for 50 or fewer vehicles, among other criteria. That type of business would not need approval from the County Commission to get its permit.

A Tier 2 operation would provide a maximum of 200 parking spaces and would be subject to approval from the County Commission.

Although the commissioners seemed open to the possibility of lowering the maximum parking spaces for both tiers, they appeared largely satisfied with the proposed codes.

“You’ve done a bangup job with the input that you’ve got and we’ve come a long way,” Jim Flory, third district, said to the planning staff.

Agritourism became a hot topic for the commission last fall, when an Overland Park couple submitted an application for their KC Pumpkin Patch, which included designs of a parking lot to accommodate 800 cars.

Neighbors protested, prompting the commission to re-evaluate its zoning codes and registration process.

The committee also discussed the viability of adopting all or part of

a proposed $6.5 million master plan of improvements for the Douglas County Fairgrounds, which features a new, open pavilion, expanded parking lot and other structures.

All three commissioners expressed enthusiasm for the project after comparing the plan to a list of the fairgrounds’ deferred maintenance costs, totaling over $3 million, that will need to be addressed soon.

The commission asked Sarah Plinksy, assistant county administrator, for additional analysis on how annual operational costs would be affected should the master plan be adopted.

law would change “any time soon,” Ryan said.

The Reeds said the lawmaker who took the most interest in their story was Rep. John Wilson.

The Lawrence Democrat said Sunday he shares the Reeds’ pessimism that any medical marijuana legislation would pass this year.

Bills allowing medical marijuana were introduced in the House and Senate this session, Wilson said. But the Senate bill will not make it out of committee, and it is unlikely the House bill would this late in the session, he added.

Despite the slim chances, Wilson said he is working behind the scenes to learn what could be done to pave the way for future passage of medical mari-

juana legislation in Kansas. One thing he was told could: the endorsement of the state’s medical establishment for medical marijuana use.

Wilson said he has studied similar legislation across the nation, including a Georgia bill that would allow the state’s five research hospitals to make marijuana oil extract high in cannabinoids but with little or no THC, the drug’s intoxicating ingredient, available for testing on patients suffering seizures. The bill passed the Georgia House overwhelmingly, he said.

Short of changing the law, Wilson would advocate that Kansas University Medical Center be allowed to test medical marijuana’s effectiveness on seizure patients, he said.

The Reeds said Colorado is now a pharmaceutical laboratory of sorts.

They’re confident the anecdotal evidence that persuaded them to make the move to the state will soon be clinically documented, providing the evidence to overcome resistance in Kansas and other states. That trend is already developing, they said, citing the Epilepsy Foundation’s statement last month calling for greater access to medical marijuana.

“That’s huge,” Ryan said. “I think it’s only a matter of time.

“People should move to Colorado because they want to enjoy the mountains and the lifestyle, not because of a medical treatment that is banned in their home state.”

Renewable energy standard on the chopping block

Proposed bill links funding to issues

Clothing for a cause

By Scott Rothschild Twitter: ljwrothschild

Topeka — The fight over renewable energy in Kansas will likely intensify.

State Sen. Pat Apple, RLouisburg, and chairman of the Senate Utilities Committee, said Wednesday the committee will probably recommend approval of a bill to repeal the Kansas Renewable Portfolio Standard O’Neal when it m e e t s Thursday.

“We need to do what we can for renewables but also keeping in mind how this affects our ratepayers in Kansas is important,” Apple said.

Senate Bill 433 would repeal the 2009 RPS that required major utility companies to have the capacity to generate 10 percent of their energy through a renewable source by 2011. It also called for the companies to generate 15 percent of their energy through a renewable source by 2016 and 20 percent by 2020.

Kansas University School of Law students Aqmar Rahman and Madeline Heeren climbed into a car on the streets of Dhaka, Bangladesh, one summer afternoon after meeting some locals in a densely populated

slum on the outskirts of the city.

Earlier that day, the two handed out a few extra KU T-shirts they brought with them on the trip. At one point, Heeren found herself surrounded by at least 100 Dhaka children, each vying for one of the cricket bats she was passing around.

“You see these people and

they have what we consider nothing, and yet they’re so happy,” Heeren said. “They’re so willing to provide you with food that they don’t have the means to be providing you.

They’re people who really appreciate life and anything you do to help them.”

The Senate budget committee plans to craft a bill that would tie additional funding ordered by the Kansas Supreme Court to other eduSCHOOLS cation policy issues, including loosening standards for teacher licensing.

Senate Ways and Means Committee chairman Ty Masterson, R-Andover, said Wednesday that he hopes to pass one “education budget” that would bundle funding for public schools, an alternative licensing bill and possibly other education issues in a single bill.

any policy you do with funding for that area of government,� Masterson said. “I do intend on building an education budget that has policy pieces in it.�

The Supreme Court ruled March 7 that the state needs to provide more funding to poor districts to subsidize their local option budgets and capital outlay budgets. The Legislature cut funding in those areas when the Great Recession hit in 2009, creating what the Court said were unconstitutional inequities among rich and poor districts.

Restoring full funding in those areas would cost about $130 million, according to state education officials, but the Court did not give an exact dollar amount for what it would take to cure the inequities.

The alternative licensing bill has divided the education community.

Heeren and Rahman stayed in the city for three weeks last summer, working with a handful of garment factories on compliance with safety regulations.

The students were inspired to travel to Bangladesh after the collapse of an eight-story commercial building last spring in Savar, a subdistrict of Dhaka. Employees of the clothing factory inside the building, called Rana Plaza, were ordered to return to work the day after cracks were discovered in load-bearing pillars.

More than 1,000 people died in the collapse and more than 2,500 were injured.

However, it was in the slums, and not inside the factories, that Heeren and Rahman saw the most need for change.

The garment industry makes up 80 percent of Bangladesh’s $24 billion in exports each year, according to a report by the International Science Congress Association. In November, the monthly minimum wage for the

Opponents of the RPS say it has increased electric costs and benefited politically favored industries.

During a hearing on the bill, Kansas Chamber of Commerce President and Chief Executive Officer Mike O’Neal said the renewable standards give government the power of “picking winners and losers.�

O’Neal, a former House speaker, said wind energy should compete like other energy sources on the market. “Take the training wheels off,� he said.

Jeff Glendening, Kansas state director of Americans For Prosperity, blamed the RPS for a 22 percent increase in electric rates.

Art Hall, who is executive director of the Center for Applied Economics at the Kansas University School of Business; Kansans for Liberty and the Kansas Livestock Association also testified in favor of the bill repealing the renewable energy standards.

But advocates of wind energy, said the renewable standards have been good for Kansas, producing thousands of jobs, billions of dollars in private investment and helping recruit

senting school boards and school administrators testified in favor of it during a hearing in Masterson’s committee last week. But the Kansas National Education Association, the teachers’ union, opposed it, and some members of the Kansas State Board of Education have said they, too, have reservations.

The bill would allow people to teach without earning an education degree if they already have a bachelor’s degree in science, technology, engineering or math — the socalled STEM fields — or industry recognized certificates in a technical profession, as long as they have five years of related work experience and a commitment from a school board that wants to hire them.

It would also exempt teachers with out-of-state licenses who pass the professional entrance exams, known as Praxis tests, for their field. “There is interest in that policy,� Masterson said. “So I intend to build a bill that includes both policy and appropriation, and so we’ll consider what policy we want.�

The bill would allow people to teach without earning an education degree if they already have a bachelor’s degree in science, technology, engineering or math — the so-called STEM fields — or industry recognized certificates in a technical profession, as long as they have five years of related work experience and a commitment from a school board that wants to hire them.

State board, Lawrence reaction State board of education member Deena Horst, RSalina, said today she has reservations because the state board already allows alternative pathways to get a teacher’s license. She said the priority should be to ensure teachers are both knowledgeable about their subject area and trained in the practice of teaching.

The state board has been considering making its own changes to licensing requirements for career and technical education, special education and out-of-state teachers.

The board is expected to

receive formal recommendations for those changes in April, but it is not yet known how similar those may be to the Senate proposal.

Lawrence Superintendent Rick Doll said today he supports the proposed legislative changes because they would put local districts, rather than the State Department of Education, in charge of approving the additional training that prospective teachers would need.

Currently, he said, people moving from technical industries into teaching must also enroll in a fouryear training program approved by the state while

“

I noticed that a lot of the kids, they didn’t have clothes on, or they were begging for money so they could get new clothes. We saw there was such a discrepancy between being able to produce so many clothes at such a low price and yet people there can’t even afford to purchase them.� — Madeline Heeren, co-founder of United Across Borders garment industry’s approximately 4 million employees was bumped up from 3,000 taka, or $38, to 5,300 taka, about $68. Even with the increase, Rahman said, it does not equate to a livable wage.

The effects of this were visible to Heeren and Rahman as they made their way through the Dhaka slums. “I noticed that a lot of the kids, they didn’t have clothes on,� Heeren said. “Or they were begging for money so they could get new clothes.

We saw there was such a discrepancy between being able to produce so many clothes at such a low price and yet people there can’t even afford to purchase them.�

After donating their Tshirts and cricket equipment, Heeren and Rahman got into their car and drove deeper into Dhaka, Bangladesh’s capital city

of 15 million people. Immediately, Heeren shared an idea that had formed through the course of the day. “We got into the car, Maddie had the idea, and we started immediately,�

Rahman said.

During the rest of the summer months and into fall and winter, Heeren and Rahman worked to form a nonprofit organization, United Across Borders. Their mission is to empower impoverished people throughout the world by providing education and basic necessities. They will start with donating clothing and blankets to people in the Dhaka slums.

United Across Borders partnered with the KU Bookstore to start a “Buy a Shirt—Give a Shirt� program. Starting this week, the KU Bookstore will sell co-branded Kan-

industries looking for an energy mix.

Repealing the renewable standards “would be kind of like the Legislature telling the Kansas beef industry that we are going to do meatless Mondays,� said Kimberly Svaty, representing The Wind Coalition.

And wind energy advocates disputed the charge that the renewable energy goal has led to significant electric bill increases.

A report by the Kansas Corporation Commission shows that the impact of the renewable energy standards is about onefifth of one cent of the av-

erage 9.9 cents per kilowatt hour electricity cost.

Matt Riley, chief executive officer of Infinity Wind Power, a development company, said repeal of the RPS would send wind energy development to neighboring states, such as Oklahoma. “It would send a very, very strong negative signal to companies like mine that our business is no longer welcome in this state,� he said.

Numerous business representatives, farmers, economic development officials and environmentalists testified against the repeal bill.

they are teaching.

Doll said the Lawrence district has had difficulty in the past recruiting qualified teachers for some of its technical education programs, especially in areas such as auto mechanics and welding. And starting in the 2015-2016 school year, the district will need more of those teachers when it opens its new College and Career Center.

‘Value shopping’ Masterson said linking the funding to policy issues such as licensing could help win the support of some conservatives who otherwise might not be willing to approve additional school spending. “If you’re a conservative person who doesn’t want to add the money we’re talking about, it’s kind of like value shopping,� he said. “If I’m going to spend this much money, I want to know what I’m going to get for my dollars.�

In addition to the licensing bill, there are several other education policy bills pending in the Legislature of interest to conservatives, including one

that would greatly expand charter schools and others that would block implementation of new standards for English, math and science.

Normally, the Legislature passes a single, “omnibus� budget that includes funding for all state agencies. But last year it passed a two-year budget, which means the budget for next year is already in place. That gives lawmakers more flexibility this year to pass budget revisions for individual agencies.

Rep. Marc Rhoades, RNewton, chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, said that panel will start working Thursday on a bill to address the issues raised in the Gannon case. “The entire legislature, House and Senate, is seeking to satisfy the Gannon issues,� Rhoades said in an email. “At the same time, as Sen. Masterson has said, there are policy issues which could be addressed as well, especially relating to issues of adequacy and outcomes.�

blanket donation drives at each of its 63 chapters this spring. A donation drive will take place in Lawrence in April, and anyone looking to donate may drop off items at the KU Bookstore in the Kansas Union, 1301 Jayhawk Blvd.

Blankets are an important part of the equation, Rahman said, because of the intense cold in northern Bangladesh. Last January, about 80 people died during a cold snap, which included the lowest temperatures recorded in the country’s history. “People need the blankets very badly to keep their whole families warm,� Rahman said.

Eventually, Heeren and Rahman want to involve other universities in United Across Borders.

If there is enough interest in the organization, Rahman said, they would like to provide the same necessities to people in other developing countries. After that, they plan to start toward their goal of establishing a route for impoverished people in these countries to receive an education. “That’s one of our goals down the line, to be able to empower people to provide for themselves,� Rahman said. “Education really is the avenue to get to the next level.�

Working in the wetlands

Richard Gwin/Journal-World Photo

WORKERS KICK OFF THE SOUTH LAWRENCE TRAFFICWAY PROJECT OFF 31ST STREET WITH THEIR FIRST DAY OF WORK WEDNESDAY. They cleared a path for the new road in one of the first steps in a multistep process that includes putting down layers of geosynthetic fabric and gravel to build a base for the road. The wetlands portion of the $130 million road project is expected to be completed by spring 2015.

Bill on police complaints hits big hurdle Topeka (ap) — A proposal that would eliminate anonymous complaints against police officers hit a snag Tuesday in the House when law enforcement leaders and the NAACP said the measure would erode the public’s trust in police.

The measure before the House Transportation and Public Safety Budget Committee would require anyone submitting a complaint against a law enforcement officer to sign an affidavit, The Wichita Eagle reported.

Anyone who files a complaint that is determined to be false could be held civilly and criminally liable.

The proposal would prohibit other law enforcement agencies from conducting their own investigations if a complaint already has been ruled false by the original agency. Also, officers would be given a copy of complaints filed against

they staunchly oppose.

Brownback’s statement came one day after Attorney General Derek Schmidt urged legislators to do the same in order to resolve at least part of a Supreme Court ruling handed down March 7 in a school finance lawsuit.

House and Senate budget committees are expected to begin work Thursday crafting an education budget for next year, and leaders of those committees have said they may want to tie the increased funding to

documentation to prove their U.S. citizenship to election officials. The federal registration form requires only that prospective voters sign a statement declaring they are citizens.

While most voters in both states register with state forms, their officials said the availability of the federal form created a loophole as they tried to enforce the proof-ofcitizenship requirements.

Kobach and others argue that the requirements

BRIEFLY Financial literacy bill approved Topeka — Kansas House members have approved a bill that would require public school students to receive instruction on personal financial literacy.

Wednesday’s 110-12 vote sends the measure to the Senate. The bill would revise financial literacy standards for all grade levels. The material would be taught in math classes or other appropriate courses such as family and consumer science or economics.

Proponents say students need to know more about managing money. Topics to be covered in the instruction include saving and investing, credit and debt and the importance of setting a budget.

The bill also requires the State Board of Education to give lawmakers a report on student scores on financial

literacy tests before the start of the 2015 legislative session.

Lawsuit damage limit goes to House Topeka — A Kansas House committee has endorsed legislation allowing higher monetary damages in personal injury lawsuits while revising the rules of evidence in such cases.

Tuesday’s voice vote by the Commerce, Labor and Economic Committee sent the Senate-passed measure to the full House for debate.

It would increase the state’s $250,000 limit on non-economic damages such as pain and suffering to $300,000 in July and to $350,000 by July 2022.

The change is a response to a 2012 Kansas Supreme Court ruling in a medical malpractice lawsuit. The court upheld the current limit but said it was troubled that it hadn’t been adjusted for inflation since 1988.

of the letter he sent to Huelskamp, a Hutchinson Republican, and to the Kansas attorney general. Branson said Tuesday a Douglas County resident inquired about an email invitation sent

by Huelskamp’s campaign that said an online contribution of at least $10 would enter the recipient into a contest to win tickets to the first weekend of NCAA Tournament games in St. Louis.

Branson said such contests were illegal lotteries under Kansas law and asked Huelskamp to provide proof of who in Douglas County received the invitation and whether they received their money back upon request

by March 26. Later Tuesday, Huelskamp’s campaign released another email stating donation’s to the campaign were voluntary.

On Wednesday, Branson said he had yet to receive a response to his letter.

them and be allowed to review video and other evidence before they were interviewed by investigators.

Sedgwick County Sheriff Jeff Easter and law enforcement leaders from Johnson and Riley counties said the measure would hamper their ability to conduct internal investigations.

“The sheriff’s office investigates numerous criminal cases, and we do not provide these materials to the interviewee prior the interview, thus I do not believe in providing deputies with evidence prior to the interview on alleged misconduct,” Easter said.

Only one person, Sean McCauley, spoke in favor of the bill. He is an attorney who represents both the Kansas State Troopers Association and the Kansas chapter of the Fraternal Order of Police.

“We’re not seeking to protect bad cops. We’re seeking to protect good cops from bad complaints,” McCauley said.

Tammie Lord, chief legal counsel for the Kansas Highway Patrol, said the bill was vague and didn’t make a clear distinction between false complaints and ones that were determined to be unfounded.

Committee chairman Virgil Peck asked Easter and Lord if the bill could

Other opponents, including the Kansas chapter of NAACP, raised concerns that the bill targets black people.

Brenda Fox, a Wichita resident whose complaint against the Wichita Police Department for racial profiling is being investigated by the Kansas Human Rights Commission, said the bill would increase mistrust between police and minorities.

“Officers have absolute power in the streets.

This absolute power emboldens the officer and diminishes the citizen,” said Fox, who was a police officer for nine years but now works as an administrator at Southwestern College.

“This bill would exacerbate this power disparity.”

The committee took no action on the measure.

other policy issues like teacher licensing requirements.

“I have had good discussions with legislators and education superintendents concerning school finance,” Brownback said in a statement released this afternoon.

But then he added, “My highest priority is that dollars need to go to the classroom and our students.”

Some Republicans on the House Appropriations Committee expressed concern Monday that most of the money would reduce local property taxes and would not add to resources available for schools.

In his statement, Brownback identified his

“guiding principles” for education funding, the first of which being “the equity issues raised by the court should be completely addressed this year.”

In its ruling, the Supreme Court said that legislative cuts since 2009 in equalization funding for local option budgets and capital outlay budgets have created wealth-based disparities between districts that are unconstitutional.

“Local option budget authority should remain intact and be fully equalized,” Brownback said.

Also, “capital outlay authority should remain intact and be fully equalized.”

He also hinted that the

Legislature should consider expanding districts’ LOB authority — currently capped at 31 percent of their base state aid — by saying, “Local school boards should be given the opportunity to send additional funding to the classroom to help their students succeed if we can give them the necessary authority to do so and maintain equity.”

Although legislative leaders have said they are committed to resolving the equity issues this year, so far they have not committed to providing the full $129 million. Nor have they said where they plan to find the money.

During a briefing on school finance earlier

today in the House budget committee, some GOP members suggested changing the method for counting “at risk” students. Others asked questions about transportation costs.

Brownback suggested he is willing to consider such changes. “If there are opportunities for legitimate efficiencies to be found within the school finance formula, they should be considered,” he said.

But Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, D-Topeka, said that would be a mistake.

“If you play around with those kinds of things, you’re playing with fire,” Hensley said. You’re taking

away from poor kids, and that goes to the very heart of equity.

That’s what the court has said we need to do, and they said we need to do it by July 1.”

Hensley also said he didn’t understand why it was necessary to have “guiding principles” on school finance.

“This is a simple fix,” he said. “Just support the bills introduced (by Democrats) in the House and Senate that would fully fund LOB equalization and capital outlay equalization.

If you want to fix it, it’s real simple.”

preclude voter fraud by preventing non-citizens from voting, particularly those in the country illegally.

“This is a really big victory, not just for Kansas and Arizona but for all 50 states,” Kobach told The Associated Press. “Kansas has paved the way for all states to enact proofof-citizenship requirements.”

Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne, another conservative Republican, said election fraud is a serious problem but that “a cover-up by the media” has prevented people from knowing the true extent of the problem.

Critics argue that proof-of-citizenship re-

quirements make it harder for people to register and suppress voter turnout, and contend that the potential for non-citizens to vote is remote enough that it doesn’t justify such steps.

Democratic Arizona state Sen. Steve Gallardo, who joined the lawsuit on the side of the Election Assistance Commission, said a proof-of-citizenship requirement makes it harder for minorities and the elderly to register. He said it is also designed to weed out progressive voters, particularly college students.

“These are new voters that are getting active,” Gallardo said. “They tend to be a lot more progres-

sive and liberal ... particularly when it comes to issues like medical marijuana, same sex marriage, more progressive-type issues. That’s what this ruling does now - it makes it more difficult for this segment of voters, students, to vote.”

In Kansas, the registrations of nearly 15,700 prospective voters — enough to decide a close statewide race — remained on hold Wednesday because they hadn’t yet complied with the proof-of-citizenship requirement.

Election Assistance Commission spokesman Bryan Whitener said in an email only that the ruling is “under review” by the agency. However,

it can appeal Melgren’s decision to the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, based in Denver.

Melgren said the U.S. Constitution gives states the power to set voter qualifications, and Congress has not pre-empted it, even in enacting a federal voter-registration law in the 1990s.

“Because the Court finds that Congress has not pre-empted state laws requiring proof of citizenship through the National Voter Registration Act, the Court finds the decision of the EAC denying the states’ requests to be unlawful and in excess of its statutory authority” Melgren wrote.

The case arose after the

U.S. Supreme Court last year struck down part of Arizona’s 2004 proofof-citizenship law. The Kansas voter ID law took effect last year.

The high court said Arizona couldn’t reject the registrations of voters who used the national form if they weren’t accompanied by documents proving U.S. citizenship. But the court also said Arizona could return to the EAC to request a modification of the form.

Under Kansas’ law, election officials don’t reject the national forms outright but put those registrations on hold until proof of U.S. citizenship is provided.

— Sean McCauley, attorney representing the Kansas State Troopers Association

County district attorney, calling it “trial by press release.”

Huelskamp’s campaign released a second statement Wednesday in response to a letter sent by District Attorney Charles Branson on Tuesday that expressed concern over a contest promoting a chance to win NCAA men’s basketball tournament tickets in exchange for a campaign contribution of at least $10.

According to the statement, Huelskamp’s campaign is exploring “all legal avenues per prosecutorial misconduct” by Branson and claimed that Branson was “misusing his office for political (and) partisan purposes.”

On Tuesday, Branson made public a copy

JOURNAL-WORLD REPORTER NADIA IMAFIDON SIZES UP THE “EVEREST CHALLENGE” at 23rd Street Brewery, 3512 Clinton Parkway. If she can eat this burger with four beef patties, Swiss, cheddar, bacon, fried eggs, fried pickles, onion rings, and wing sauce, among other toppings, and the fries, she’ll get her name on the Everest Challenge champion chalkboard (pictured below), a T-shirt and the meal for free. It’s one of a handful of eating challenges offered by Lawrence restaurants.

aturally Joey Tribbiani from my favorite childhood sitcom, “Friends,” comes to mind as I stare in awe at this meal fit for me and my three siblings.

“You are my Everest,” I say quickly laughing to myself.

But really, I’ve got to find space in my stomach for a double “Manly Stanley” burger. That’s four hamburger patties, Swiss, cheddar, bacon, fried eggs, fried pickles, onion rings, lettuce, tomatoes, onions and wing sauce. Oh, and I’ve got to finish the side of fries, too, which they happened to be more than generous with today.

I’m not attempting to eat an entire turkey by myself like Joey foolishly tried to do.

Instead I’m (foolishly) taking on one of Lawrence’s many eating challenges: the “Everest Challenge” at 23rd Street Brewery.

And by accomplishing such a feat, I get my name on a chalkboard, a T-shirt and the meal is free.

I’m pretty sure it’s comes at the cost of my dignity, however. Everyone in this section of the restaurant is staring; partly because they sense my fear, partly because I have

THE GHOST RAMEN CHALLENGE AT RAMEN BOWLS, 125 E. 10th St., is a combo of noodles, pork, veggies, a egg and a whole “ghost” pepper, one of the hottest peppers in the world.

Challenge CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7A

a photographer in my face documenting such a grotesque event and I’m sure one of those poor saps thinks I can actually do it.

Professional eaters spend the day before a big contest eating watermelon, grapes, lettuce or cabbage, popular because they are mostly water and easily processed through the body quickly. They eat their water-based food of choice until they can’t, expanding their stomachs 24 hours before the challenge. Other tricks include intense liquid consumption six hours before and working out two hours before to induce hunger.

Often times they “practice” at buffets once a week.

All right, so I didn’t do any of those things.

I skipped breakfast though, and the sight of layers of bacon and golden fries becomes my biggest inspiration. I am woman, hear me roar.

I am avoiding drinking too much water, and I’m well aware that in 15 to 20 minutes my body will realize I’ve made some mistakes; that’s how long it takes for your body to realize it’s full. The winning strategy (so I’ve read) is to eat the meat, vegetables, bun and finally fries, in that order.

I’m using a fork to cut off meek bites of layers of meat, not strategically, but because there’s enough protein on this thing to make finding anything else a treasure hunt.

As I inch my way into the side, I lose momentum and am left staring at an only 25 percent complete mission. With all the time in the world (though they’d kick me out at closing, I guess), and no interest in getting sick, I’m reduced to shamefully requesting a

to-go box and the check.

How could I have lost?

Oh right, I’m a normal human being with the capacity for one burger and half of that serving of fries. No free T-shirt, my name will not join 15 others on the chalkboard of fame, and alas, the $30 bill comes to the table.

You won this time, burger.

The Everest Challenge at 23rd Street Brewery is just one of eating challenges a handful (or is it mouthful?) of restaurants in Lawrence offer. Here are a few more:

Choose your own Lawrence food challenge “Sumo Challenge” at DonDon Japanese Rice and Noodle Bowl Shop, 2223 Louisiana St. Suite E You have to eat five rice bowls (of your choice) in under an hour. You are not allowed to throw up during that hour. No strategic bathroom breaks (to forcibly vomit because it’s that serious), and upon finishing the five bowls, you also cannot throw up for 10 minutes. If you’re a successful glutton (so far, only five) you get on the wall of fame, a T-shirt, and the $30 meal free. Those who fail live on the wall of shame. If you finish four bowls, it’s half price. Receive a free side every time you come in to DonDon wearing your winner shirt.

Call in beforehand (8383100) to make an appointment to do the challenge.

“Ghost Ramen Challenge” at Ramen Bowls, 125 E. 10th St. Bhut Jolokia “ghost” peppers (mixed with a homemade habanero concentrate) are thrown into a double noodle, tonkotsu ramen. India’s Defense Research Laboratory (IDRL) rated the ghost pepper with 1,041,427 Scoville heat units. To give you some heat intensity perspective jalapenos have a 3,000 to 6,000 rating and habaneros have a 300,000

OFF THE BEATEN PLATE

SHU rating. This will hurt.

Those who finish within 30 minutes get the $20 meal free, a “Ghost Ramen Conquerer” T-shirt, and the right to declare themselves unbelievable on the wall of fame. The owners are looking to start a “wall of shame” in the bathroom for the many who fail. At this point, they’ve had 17 conquerors. Some spice enthusiasts, a video blogger, and those, near and far, making their way on the food challenge circuit.

“Gorilla Challenge” at Wheat State Pizza, 711 W. 23rd St. Wheat State will prepare a 24-inch, 10-pound pizza, for any takers of the “Gorilla Challenge.” It’s not just about finishing this monstrous pizza: You’ve got to finish it in one hour or less (yeah right). Pay $30 up front, and if you can force the pizza down, get your money back and your photo on their Facebook page. Only one man has succeeded. Are you next?

With so many people completing this challenge, they are looking to amp the spiciness. It’s $15, which sounds like a lot of burrito if you ask me.

Finish it within 45 minutes and receive it free with a T-shirt.

“Blazin Challenge” at Buffalo Wild Wings, 1012 Massachusetts St. Twelve wings. Six minutes. And the added factor of each wing having bathed in their signature “blazin” sauce that ranks highest on their spicy scale. Still up for it?

DEEP-FRIED TWINKIES On the one hand, fried Twinkies at a sushi place don’t make sense. On the other hand, the way Yokohama makes them, they kind of do. Instead of loading them with pancake batter and serving them on a stick (à la the county fair), Yokohama takes a two-pack of Twinkies, fries them in sweetened panko batter and plates them with clover honey, chocolate sauce, a little pouf of whipped cream and a mint leaf.

Where to get it: Yokohama, 1730 W. 23rd St. (also available at Yokohama’s downtown location, 811 New Hampshire St.) What you’ll pay: $2.99 Try it with: Dinner first.

Also on the menu: Sushi, sushi and more sushi, plus a variety of Japanese and other Asian entrees, rice, noodle dishes and bento boxes.

EDITORIALS

Not just lucky The thousands of hours of time donated by St. Patrick’s Day volunteers are a great gift to the community.

I

t takes a lot more than the luck of the Irish to pull off the annual St. Patrick’s Day festivities in Lawrence.

The parade that draws thousands of spectators to Massachusetts Street each year is just one of many activities planned by the local committee. The parade is a lot of fun for both participants and spectators, but the broader goal of the St. Patrick’s Day committee is to raise money for community groups that benefit local children.

In the last 26 years, the all-volunteer St. Patrick’s Day organization has donated $750,000 to such groups. This year’s proceeds will be divided between two groups: Bikers Against Child Abuse and Baby Jay’s Legacy of Hope. Final fund-raising totals haven’t been announced yet, but we’re confident those groups won’t be disappointed.

The St. Patrick’s Day committee is another great example of the community spirit that makes Lawrence so special.

Congratulations on another successful year.

A little advice

Who speaks for voiceless children?

Who speaks for Ghanson Debrosse?

Before he was born, many people did. Anti-abortion groups did. Churches did.

Protesters did. And lawmakers did. Florida, for instance, requires that a woman undergo an ultrasound before getting an abortion, and the provider must offer her the option of viewing the image.

Ghanson was not aborted.

He was born, Oct. 26, 2010, to a teenage mother, Fafane Caze. During his short stay on this Earth, he endured enough pain for a lifetime.

Police say that when he wet the floor, his mother burned his genitals with a lighter, and when he soiled his diaper, she beat him with a broom handle. They say she once hurled him across a room where he crashed into a table. And then, in a fight with the boy’s father, she used him as a weapon, trying to throw him at the man.

Ghanson died on Jan. 21.

He had burns on his face and fingers. He had scars in the shape of belt buckles.

The Florida Department of Children & Families knew Ghanson was in trouble. It received three reports on its hotline. But the agency concluded there was no reason to

No one did.

He is one of 477 Florida children no one spoke for or spoke forcefully enough for, 477 who have died in the last six years from drowning, crushing, starvation, neglect and the inattention of a system that should have protected them, but did not.

In “Innocents Lost,” a report by Audra D.S. Burch and Carol Marbin Miller published this week by the Miami Herald, we learn that the number of children dying has spiked since DCF made a deliberate deci-

sion almost a decade ago to sharply reduce the number of children taken into state care and to slash “services, monitoring and protections for the increased number of children left with their violent, neglectful, mentally-ill or drug-addicted parents.”

Money was saved. Children were not.

And there is an irony here too acute to ignore.

We have these great debates over children who are not yet born. We have marches and shouting matches and legislative protections for children who are not yet born.

But what about the children who are already here?

How is it they can groan in hunger, how is it they can be shaken to pieces, slammed into walls, mashed under car tires while those who should protect them do not, yet there are no marches, no demonstrations, no placards lifted or lawmakers making speeches?

“Abortion stops a beating heart,” goes an old antiabortion slogan. But so does a skull fracture.

Not that it is only abortion foes who are indicted here.

Rather, the indictment extends to all of us who watch with complacent silence as

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for March 20, 1914: years “Lawrence’s miliago tary family was IN 1914 subjected to the annual inspection yesterday. The entire number came through in good shape and with a few words of praise. The four organizations looked over yesterday were Company H of Lawrence, the First Regimental Band, Company M of the University and the First Regimental Headquarters. The inspection of these organizations was made by LieutCol. Waldo F. Ayer of the regular army and General C. L. Martin of the Kansas National Guard.”

budgets are balanced on the backs of the voiceless and vulnerable.

Somehow, there is always enough money to give another billionaire another tax break. Somehow, we always find a way to build the new stadium to keep the team in town.

But who speaks for Shaiunna Hare, 2, crushed by a python kept, barely secured, by her drug-addled mother and the mother’s boyfriend?

Who speaks for Kaleb Cronk, 1, run over by a pickup truck in his mother’s driveway after she went inside and left him unattended?

Who speaks for Logan Hancock, 2 months, who died of a skull fracture? His second.

Who speaks for Emanuel Murray, 3 months, allegedly thrown from a moving car by his mother’s boyfriend?

Who decries the fact that we had the chance to intervene and did not?

The implication is as clear as it is appalling. We will argue, protest and legislate over a child’s right to be here before she arrives.

Once she gets here, though, she’s on her own.

OLD HOME TOWN

City and county advisory boards are an important link between local residents and their elected officials. here’s no reason to wonder whether elected Lawrence and Douglas County officials are interested in what local residents think about public policies.

A recent event honoring all the volunteers who serve on city- and county-appointed advisory boards was a vivid reminder of how many people are involved in setting local government policy.

The city has 47 advisory boards or task forces and makes appointments to fill about 360 slots on those boards and others joint boards. The county has 30 advisory boards and about 150 appointees.

Those boards deal with issues ranging from how to run the public library to what changes are needed in the city’s traffic system. Their members give city and county officials advice on how to allocate public funds, how to change city codes and a host of other details associated with running local government. They put in many hours dealing with public concerns and offering input to officials who must make the final decisions.

Many people might find the work tedious. In some cases, the advisory board member might agree with that assessment, but they nonetheless pour through materials and consider a variety of issues that affect how well local government operates and serves its constituents.

It’s often a thankless job, so it’s good every once in a while to take time to express some appreciation to all those advisory board members. City and county officials did that at their recent event, and we’d like to do the same now. Advisory boards are an important link between local residents and our elected officials and members of those boards deserve the community’s thanks.

PUBLIC FORUM

KU fee decision

ings where the public gets to hear what the city is already planning to do!

We think it should work the other way around — where commissioners get to hear what the public thinks, wants or needs BEFORE making their plans. In the case of this rental control plan it has not happened that way!

Please, let’s have a Rental Advisory Board to look into issues to determine if existing laws and ordinances are not working; and if not, why not. Let the most knowledgeable, experienced and involved residents find out whether more regulations are really needed BEFORE moving ahead with this massive effort to control 20,000 living units and the tenants living in them.

Put the horse where it belongs: in front of the cart!

Bill and Jo Barnes, Lawrence

To the editor: I welcome Kansas University’s Student Senate decision to end the $25-persemester fee to help fund the athletic department.

The fact that our public-funded university rarely shows KU basketball games on the public airwaves has got to play a role in this decision by the KU Student Senate. Most students are not old enough to go to the bars and watch the games. I’m not sure this is an activity the university should encourage. To watch at home requires highend cable at $70 a month.

I guess with the extra $50 a year, students can buy a radio. Maybe income inequality is even showing up among our wealthy KU student body.

KU Athletics should talk to major league baseball about the down side of leaving the public airwaves.

Board needed

Registration opposed To the editor: Months ago, a majority of city commissioners decided that our city needed a new rental licensing program. Duplication of existing law, cost-benefit analysis and common sense fell on deaf ears. The majority of commissioners’ minds were closed to any further discussion.

In my opinion, commissioners have failed to make their case for the rental licensing program for the following reasons: 1) They have failed to address the problem of blighted neighborhoods by enforcing existing laws. Initiating a new program that duplicates existing health and safety laws believing it will alleviate the problem of blighted neighborhoods is wishful thinking.

2) An accurate cost-benefit analysis would determine that individuals harmed by this program (privacy concerns, time, cost, etc.) would far outweigh the number of individuals helped.

3) This proposal would impose a discriminatory tax on landlords. Taxes are initiated by and for the benefit of a government entity whereas license and/or registration fees are initiated by and for the benefit of the end user.

Murphy’s Law states that, “Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.” It is common knowledge that the city’s monitoring of the new recreation center confirms this adage. The lack of fiduciary responsibility displayed during the building of this project leaves the electorate questioning the motives of all City Hall proposals.

An epic paradigm shift from dependency to personal responsibility will be required of our elected officials if our city is to prosper and grow. Please vote in each and every election.

Detroit — General Motors, beware.

Wednesday’s announcement that Toyota will pay $1.2 billion to avoid criminal prosecution for hiding information in a recall case could be a glimpse into your future.

General Motors Co., which is facing a federal criminal probe over delays in recalling small cars with a deadly ignition switch problem, has many parallels to the Toyota case.

At GM, the company has admitted knowing about the ignition-switch problem for more than a decade, yet it failed to recall 1.6 million small cars until last month.

During the wait, at least a dozen people died in crashes because the faulty switches moved out of the run position, disabling power steering and brakes. Air bags also didn’t inflate.

In just one day last week, GM’s stock value fell 5 percent, reducing the total

to the base, the storming party raised a Russian flag on the headquarters square.

The unarmed militiamen waited for an hour on the square and, following the arrival of the commander of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, they took over the building.

By afternoon, they were in full control of the naval headquarters, a set of three-story white concrete buildings with blue trim.

The Ukrainian Defense Ministry said Rear Adm. Sergei Haiduk was detained and a news agency close to the Russianbacked local authorities reported that he had been summoned for questioning by prosecutors.

Later in the day, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu ordered the Crimean authorities to release Haiduk.

With thousands of Ukrainian soldiers and sailors trapped on military bases, surrounded by heavily armed Russian forces and proRussia militia, the Kiev government said it was drawing up plans to evacuate its outnumbered troops from Crimea back to the mainland and would seek U.N. support to turn the peninsula into a demilitarized zone.

Jerome Murdough, 56, had been charged with trespassing and placed in an observation unit for inmates with mental illnesses at Rikers Island.

Four city officials say Murdough, who took antipsychotic and anti-seizure medication, apparently did not open a small vent to let cool air into his cell, as other inmates did. Officials also said he was not checked for hours, in violation of department protocol.

It was not immediately clear whether investigators thought that deleting the files was unusual.

claring its intent to leave the Moscow-dominated Commonwealth of Independent States, a loose alliance of 11 former Soviet nations. The last nation to leave the group was Georgia, which lost a brief war with neighboring Russia in 2008 and ended up losing two separatist territories.

Vice President Joe Biden, in Lithuania trying to reassure nations bordering Russia alarmed by the sight of an expansionminded neighbor, said the United States would stand by them.

“We’re in this with you, together,” Biden said.

Ukraine has been powerless to prevent Russian troops from taking control of Crimea, which President Vladimir Putin formally annexed Tuesday with the stroke of a pen. On Wednesday morning, militiamen under apparent Russian command barged their way into Ukraine’s naval headquarters in Sevastopol, detaining the head of Ukraine’s navy and seizing the facility. The incursion, which Ukraine’s Defense Ministry described as being led by a self-described local defense force, Cossacks and “aggressive women,” proceeded with no resistance.

Sevastopol, Crimea (ap) — Surrendering to Russia’s inexorable seizure of Crimea, Ukraine announced plans Wednesday for mass troop withdrawals from the strategic peninsula as Moscow-loyal forces seized control of Kiev’s naval headquarters and detained its commander.

Attempting to face down the unblinking incursion, Ukraine said it would hold joint military exercises with the United States and Britain.

Hours after masked Russian-speaking troops forced their way onto Ukraine’s main naval base, forlorn Ukrainian soldiers streamed out carrying clothing and other belongings in bags.

A group of local militia and Cossacks, later joined by officers from Russia’s Black Sea Fleet, looked on.

Just how many retreating troops Ukraine will have to absorb in what amounts to a military surrender of Crimea was unclear. Many servicemen have already switched sides to Russia, but authorities said they were prepared to relocate as many as 25,000 soldiers and their families to the Ukrainian mainland.

Humbled but defiant, Ukraine lashed out symbolically at Russia by de-

NCAA TOURNAMENT

Within site

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Some questions best left unasked St. Louis — Somewhere approaching a billion questions will be asked of coaches and athletes today in Scottrade Center, site of four NCAA Tournament basketball games Friday, two Sunday.

One I don’t care to hear asked of Andrew Wiggins, famous freshman forward for Kansas University: “How did you deal with all of the hype?”

Um, by playing basketball. That’s what college basketball players do. They play basketball. In his case, for one year in college.

Obviously, he dealt with it quite well since he earned first-team All-Big 12 honors, led his team in scoring and was its best perimeter defender. Questions about the hype should be asked of those who hyped Wiggins, not of Wiggins.

Another I’d rather not hear asked of John Calipari or any other coach to whom it could apply: “You continue to recruit oneand-done players. Last year your team had to settle for the NIT. This year you are a No. 8 seed. Do you think you would be better off not going that route?”

To stop recruiting players projected as one-anddone or those who think they are would mean bypassing Anthony Davis and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, with whom Calipari won a national title in 2012.

And then there are players such as Brandon Rush and Darrell Arthur, thought by some to be one-anddone talents before they stepped onto a college court for the first time.

They started for KU’s 2008 national-championship team, Rush in his third season, Arthur his second.

And I definitely don’t want to hear anyone ask Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall if he can see himself coaching elsewhere next season. How about asking him questions about the only underdog undefeated No. 1 seed in tournament history, instead of about some school that had such a lousy year it either already has fired its coach or will once it gets eliminated from the NIT. Besides, he makes $1.4 million a year and lives in a town packed with great golf courses.

And, please, no NBA questions until a player’s season has ended.

Jayhawks arrive in St. Louis; Embiid still sidelined

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

St. Louis — Wearing a crimson and blue Kansas Jayhawk cap, T-shirt and sweats, Joel Embiid hopped off a big, black bus in back of the Hyatt Regency at the Arch hotel just before 6 p.m. Wednesday.

The 7-foot freshman from Cameroon, who carried a duffel bag in his left hand and wore a set of headphones

muting the sounds of a handful of autograph seekers, looked just like the rest of KU’s basketball players, who Embiid arrived well in advance of today’s NCAA Tournament shootaround and Friday’s second-round game at Scottrade Center.

There’s one major difference between Embiid and his KU pals, however.

Embiid, the Jayhawks’ only injured scholarship player entering the postseason, is expected to miss this weekend’s action, which begins with a 3:10 p.m. game against Eastern Kentucky on Friday. Winner of the KUEKU game will meet either Stanford or New Mexico at

Tulsa coach Manning proving mentor right

By Cliff Brunt Associated Press Writer

Nati Harnik/AP File Photo

IN THIS NOV. 23, 2013, PHOTO, TULSA COACH DANNY MANNING CALLS instructions to his players during a game against Creighton in Omaha, Neb.

Oklahoma City — Before Danny Manning sought a head-coaching job, the former Kansas University AllAmerican called his college coach, Larry Brown, for a bit of advice.

Manning’s résumé was strong. He had won a national title as a player for Brown in 1988, played 15 years in the NBA and had won a national title as an assistant under the Jayhawks’ Bill Self in 2008. He was getting the itch to step out on his own but wanted Brown’s blessing before proceeding.

Brown, who had a long

history with the family and had employed Manning’s father, Ed, as an assistant coach years ago, said the answer was easy.

“He asked me if I thought he was ready to be a (head) coach,” said Brown, now the coach at SMU. “He was ready the first day I met him, when he was 5 years old.”

Brown’s exaggeration brings home the point that Manning was seemingly born to coach. And, as Brown expected, Manning’s rise has happened quickly. In just his second year as Tulsa’s coach, Manning has reached the NCAA Tournament, with the Golden Hurricane earning an automatic bid by winning

the Conference USA tournament title. Tulsa (21-12), the No. 13 seed in the South Region, will open against No. 4 seed UCLA (26-8) Friday in San Diego.

Tulsa, making its first NCAA appearance since 2003, nearly missed Sunday’s announcement of its opponent. The team still was traveling back from the league tournament in El Paso, Texas, and it got to the Reynolds Center about 15 minutes before the selection show.

“We got off the plane, we got on the bus, we drove here, we went to the locker

Reds closer hit in face by line drive Surprise, Ariz. (ap) — Cincinnati Reds closer Aroldis Chapman was hit in the face by a line drive and taken off the field on a cart.

Chapman was struck by Salvador Perez’s drive with two outs in the sixth inning of the Reds’ game against the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday night. The pitcher crumpled to the ground, face down and flailing his legs. Medical personnel, including Royals Dr. Vincent Key, rushed the field.

Several players knelt around the mound as Chapman was being attended to and the stadium became silent. An ambulance’s siren could be heard in background while Chapman was loaded onto the stretcher.

The game was called with Kansas City leading, 6-3.

Chapman, who throws a 100 mph fastball, had walked four Royals in the inning before being hit.

GROUNDSKEEPERS WORK MONDAY TO PREPARE U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago for opening day of the baseball season.

Frozen fields a problem for baseball openers In all his years as a groundskeeper for the Chicago White Sox, Roger Bossard has never faced anything quite like this.

The snow that piled up at U.S. Cellular Field could be dealt with easily enough. It’s Chicago, after all. But the frost in the ground can be measured in feet, not inches. To ready the field for the first pitch, Bossard is overseeing an effort akin to blowing a gigantic hair dryer under a tarp to pump hot air onto the field and thaw it out. Crews have been chipping away at ice near the right field line with shovels. And opening day is less than two weeks away.

“This has actually been the perfect storm for me,” Bossard said. “I’ve been in this for 45 years and I’ve seen a lot of snow. Certainly, that’s not hard to handle. ... My problem actually is the permafrost. I’ve actually never run into where I’ve got 30 inches of permafrost.”

Groundskeepers all over baseball are scrambling to help their ballparks recover from months of snow and freezing temperatures that left fields looking more ready for crosscountry skiers than bats and balls.

Like the White Sox, the Detroit Tigers are scheduled to play at home on March 31, when the regular season begins in earnest with 13 games.

Ex-Kings center Lacey dies Sacramento, Calif. — Sam Lacey, a former NBA All-Star center who spent most of his 13-year career with the Kansas City Kings, has died. He was 66.

The Sacramento Kings, where the franchise relocated in 1985, said they did not know the cause of death.

In a statement released through the team Wednesday, Kings general manager Pete D’Alessandro called Lacey “one of the finest and longest-tenured players to ever don a Kings uniform.”

cial at the beginning after an 0-4 and then 1-6 start.

“We were doing some things right, we just weren’t able to sustain it over the course of the ballgame,” Manning said. “One-and-six was a miserable existence for us in terms of what we wanted to accomplish, but our guys’ spirit never changed.”

A closer look at the schedule reveals that Manning had a plan. The Golden Hurricane lost to NCAA Tournament teams Wichita State, Creighton and Oklahoma.

“We weren’t ducking anybody,” Manning said.

“We aren’t afraid to go play people. Although there are no moral victories and we didn’t win those games, those hardships made it possible for us to be where we’re at today. That’s how you get better, in my opinion, and that’s the formula we wanted to go with.

We want to play teams that are going to stretch you out. We want to play teams that put us in uncomfortable situations in the non-conference.”

Eventually, Manning’s young team started rolling. Tulsa won a share of the Conference USA regular-season title, then beat Louisiana Tech in the league tournament to win the automatic NCAA bid.

Tulsa accomplished it all with a sophomoredominated team that had no players on the all-conference first team.

James Woodard, a sophomore who was second-team all-conference, averages 15.7 points and 5.8 rebounds per game.

Sophomore forward Rashad Smith has added 12.1 points and 4.9 rebounds and sophomore guard Shaquille Harrison adds 9.8 points per contest.

Forward D’Andre Wright, guard Rashad Ray and forward Lew Evans also are sophomores who play significant roles. Tim Peete, a senior guard, is the only non-sophomore in the starting lineup.

The team has bought into Manning’s defensefirst approach, one he borrowed from Self. Tulsa allows just 67.4 points per game.

“They compete hard and they make the other team work,” Manning said of Self’s teams. “We have that mind-set here.

We call that grinding. We get out and we just want to grind, we just want to compete and work and battle every possession.”

a yet-to-be-determined time Sunday in Scottrade Center, with the winner of that game advancing to the Sweet 16 the following Thursday in Memphis.

“He’s not going to play this weekend. (It’s the) same as we’ve said all along. He’s not going to play,” KU coach Bill Self said of Embiid, who has a stress fracture in his lower back. “I’m not saying there couldn’t be some miraculous act occur, but we’re certainly not planning on that, nor expecting it.

“Nothing’s changed,” Self added. “He’s doing really well, but we’ve told him we were not going to put him on the practice floor until he does really well with the rehab. That’s what the doctors have told us, and that’s been the game plan all along. So he’s not far away from being out there in some form or fashion, but probably not contact (drills), at least for a while.” l

Excellent practices: The Jayhawks practiced in Allen Fieldhouse on Wednesday before driving to St. Louis.

“We had a pretty good week. I would say not our best week of practice for the year, (but) certainly we got better,” Self said.

“I think we’ve got a lot of energy. We were able to keep guys off their feet for the most part.

“I think we’re OK,” he added of the squad’s frame of mind. “It hasn’t been one of those weeks where Monday was so intense and Tuesday was so intense. We’ve talked some. We’ve practiced short, for the most part.

I’ve wanted guys to be fresh and off their feet as much as possible. We’ll get into the meetings and serious discussion tonight.

“I think they (players) are pretty amped, and they’ll be ready to go.

turn around and play Sunday early morning.

Sometimes to me that’s a struggle getting guys rested.” l Lyle to Oregon: JaQuan Lyle, a 6-5 senior shooting guard from Huntington (W.Va.) Prep, who was recruited by KU and Oklahoma State for a time, on Wednesday committed to Oregon. He chose the Ducks over Memphis. l Tough foe: Self has watched a lot of tape on No. 15 seed Eastern Kentucky this week.

“Eastern Kentucky can do a lot of things well.

They turn you over. They play primarily man, but they’ll sprinkle in some zone and 1-3-1, and we’ve had issues with that at times,” Self said. “They shoot the three as well as anybody. They’ve got eight guys that can shoot it. We’ll have to really defend the line. To do that you need to keep the ball out of the paint. Your ball-screen defense has to be a lot better than it was against Iowa State (last Friday).” l

Longevity: Self was asked on the John Feinstein CBS radio show this week if he will stick around long enough to vie for some college coaching records.

“I think I’d walk away when I don’t have the fire in the belly or the energy it takes to keep your team at the highest competitive level,” Self said. “I always thought it’d be nice to walk away whenever that is. It could be 10 years, whatever it is, walk away when you are on top. Not too many people get an opportunity to do so.

“I do feel this, guys can extend it (career) longer ... whether Jim (Boeheim, Syracuse) or Mike (Krzyzewski, Duke) ... they have as much fire now as they’ve ever had.

I hope I’m still that way,” added Self, 51. “When I start to lose that and can tell the energy is not there to keep the program at the same level, I think that’s when it’s time to probably walk away and try to get my 18 (golf handicap) down to a 14, which will not be very easy to do.”

room, we dropped our bags, we walked out to the court,” Manning said.

“I said a few things to our fans that were there. Selection show comes on and, bam, we come up.

They got a nice boost of energy when they popped up on the screen. All the hard work that these guys have been putting in — you can see it.”

The NCAA Tournament berth will force a change of scenery in Manning’s office, where he displays his two national championship rings for recruits. Now, they’ll see a third ring — the one from the Conference USA tournament championship.

“I’ve got a spot saved for a Tulsa ring in the middle, and we got that this year,” Manning said.

“So next year, there will be a Tulsa ring right in the middle of it.”

Brown said Manning’s quick rise is no shock.

He said he saw Manning’s coaching potential watching him work with the big men at Self’s Kansas practices.

“He was just as he was as a player — fundamentally sound, as prepared as anybody could be, and he had this kind of personality where it’s real calming,” Brown said. “He has a tough side, but he has this quality to calm kids down and make them listen and make them want to play for him. That’s a special gift. Plus, he’s bright. He’s the whole deal for me.”

Manning was the No. 1 pick in the 1988 NBA draft after winning the national title for Kansas that season — Danny and the Miracles, that team was called. The 6-foot-10 power forward was an All-Star twice during a 15-year NBA career hampered by knee injuries.

At Tulsa, he replaced Doug Wojcik, who set the school’s wins record in seven seasons in charge of the Golden Hurricane but never reached the NCAA tournament. And Manning knows he’s just the latest in a long line of successful coaches — guys like Nolan Richardson, Tubby Smith and Self. All went on to win championships.

Tulsa went 17-16 and went to the CBI tournament in Manning’s first year. This season didn’t look like it would be spe-

Kansas’ Piché on CLASS list Kansas University senior closer Jordan Piché was named one of 30 candidates for the Senior CLASS Award in collegiate baseball.

To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be classified as an NCAA Div. I senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence — community, classroom, character and competition.

Piché is just the second Jayhawk to be considered for this award during the 2013-14 school year; volleyball’s All-American Caroline Jarmoc was named a finalist for the award in the fall.

“Jordan represents our entire program on the field, in the classroom, and in our community in a first-class manner,” KU coach Ritch Price said. “He is one of the best kids I’ve coached in my 37-year career.”

St. Louis — Kansas University lost a squeaker in the opener and won a laugher in the nightcap.

Saint Louis forced extra innings with a tworun seventh, then plated the winner in the bottom of the ninth in a 4-3 victory in Game One, but KU bounced back with a 10-0, run-rule-shortened victory in Game Two of a nonconference softball twinbill on Wednesday.

“In the first game we came out flat and lacked focus,” KU coach Megan Smith said. “In the second game, we came out intense and executed in all aspects. We got back to what has made us successful so far this season.”

Alicia Pille (7-3) took the loss in relief in Game One after allowing a run off two hits over two innings, but threw a complete-game, two-hit shutout in the second.

In the opener, H a r l i Ridling was 4-for5 with a double and home Ridling run for KU, and Chaley Brickey added three of Kansas’ 11 hits.

Alex Jones, Maddie Stein and Taylor McElhaney each had two hits for Kansas in the second game, and Ridling hit another home run.

“Harli hit the ball well today,” Smith said. “She looked good offensively and had some good atbats for us.”

FIRST FOUR

Vols rally past Hawkeyes; Cal Poly advances The Associated Press

No. 11 Tennessee 78, No. 11 Iowa 65, OT Dayton, Ohio — With Jarnell Stokes using all of his 280 pounds to get an advantage inside, Tennessee pulled of the first last-minute comeback of the NCAA Tournament.

Stokes dominated inside as the Volunteers finally caught up in the closing minutes of regulation, then opened overtime with a three-point play that set up a victory over Iowa on Wednesday night, finishing off the First Four.

The Volunteers (2212) head to Raleigh, N.C., where they’ll play sixthseeded Massachusetts on Friday in the Midwest Regional.

“I told our guys, ‘We’ve been through everything this season, keep your composure down the stretch,’” said coach Cuonzo Martin, who got his first NCAA Tournament win in his third season at Tennessee. “‘Find ways to win the ball game.’”

They found a very improbable way.

Tennessee didn’t lead until Antonio Barton’s three-pointer put the Vols up 59-57 with 3:05 left in regulation. There were five lead changes before the Vols’ Jordan McRae missed a jumper at the buzzer, leaving it tied at 64.

Stokes’ three-point play was the key moment in his 18-point, 13-rebound performance, putting the Volunteers ahead to stay. Tennessee’s highly regarded defense took it from there, holding Iowa (21-13) to one free throw.

The Hawkeyes missed all eight of their shots from the field in overtime.

It was a tough ending to

a long and stressful day for Iowa coach Fran McCaffery. He started the day in Iowa with his teenage son, Patrick, who had surgery to remove a thyroid tumor. His assistant coaches led the Hawkeyes through a meeting and their final practice, and McCaffery was back by game time.

McRae led the Volunteers with 20 points, and Josh Richardson added 17. Adam Woodbury had 16 points for Iowa, which got a subpar performance from its leading scorer.

Roy Devyn Marble was only 3-of-15 from the field for seven points, matching his season low.

The ending will sting the Hawkeyes for a long time.

They switched defenses and opened the game with a 16-4 run. The Hawkeyes led 29-26 at halftime and kept swatting away the Volunteers’ runs until the last few minutes of regulation.

Marble’s basket tied it at 64, and he was guarding McCrae when he missed his fade-away shot at the buzzer sending it to overtime.

Tennessee got an atlarge bid by closing the season with a defensive flourish. They gave up 61.1 points per game, second only to Florida in the SEC, and allowed an average of only 47.4 points in the last four games.

In overtime, that defense decided it.

Wichita State set to face purebreds

By Paul Suellentrop The Wichita Eagle

Wichita — This story was supposed to address Wichita State’s status as a No. 1 seed, the insider, part of the power elite and favorite to make brackets conform to its will.

Then the NCAA Tournament selection committee made the Shockers outsiders again.

In a powerful Midwest Regional, the Shockers will face prominent teams led by famous coaches who didn’t recruit them. WSU coach Gregg Marshall will prepare for rosters full of players who he couldn’t recruit and teams who won’t play him in the regular season. WSU fans will share hotels and bars with fans who barely regard the Missouri Valley Conference as an NCAA Division I conference.

Proving all that wrong is what drives Wichita State. Even before the bracket was announced, Marshall provided his view on how the Shockers compare to college

basketball’s purebred programs.

“This NCAA Tournament, it’s not the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show,” he said. “You don’t have to have papers to win it. We love our dogs at my house. None of them have their papers.

I don’t have my papers.

These (players)… most of them don’t have papers.”

Not everybody doubts the Shockers. Plenty love them for their unbeaten record and style of play.

But there are enough big names in the bracket with them — Kentucky, Duke, Louisville, Michigan — to restore that underdog feeling.

“With all the talk outside of Wichita and outside of our program, about the schedule and not playing anybody, people … want us to apologize for how we’re playing,” sophomore guard Fred VanVleet said. “Our mind-set is we do belong here and now is the time to prove it.”

Wichita State (34-0) will get that chance starting Friday in its opening game against Cal

WICHITA STATE COACH GREGG MARSHALL WAVES TO FANS after cutting down the net after the Missouri Valley Conference tournament championship on March 9 in St. Louis.

Poly. Up next is either eighth-seeded Kentucky or ninth-seeded Kansas State. Michigan, a Final Four team last season, is the second seed. Duke is the No. 3 seed, and defending NCAA champion Louisville is No. 4.

Those school combine for 16 NCAA titles.

Twelfth-seeded North Carolina State adds two more and Kansas State finished second in 1951.

In a season filled with history at every turn, the Shockers are aiming at

40-0 and a season that any program would envy.

Winning five more games gives WSU the most wins in NCAA history. Winning six more makes the Shockers the first unbeaten NCAA champion since Indiana went 32-0 in 1976.

“These guys have responded all year very well to the next challenge, the next game, the next opportunity,” Marshall said.

“They’re so steadfast in their belief that they want to be special. They want to be really, really great and achieve things that other Shocker teams haven’t been able to achieve.”

WSU has already done that. No team won more regular-season games (31) or entered the NCAA Tournament with so many victories. Even with all that on the resume, seeing the Midwest Regional fill up with big names put the Shockers in their usual place as the team trying to enter the exclusive clubhouse. If the Shockers advance to the Final Four, and win a title, they will leave royalty in their path.

“Somebody’s trying to give us our first loss,”

VanVleet said. “The one seed and our record will definitely put another target on our back. But we’re not being the hunted. We’re hunters.”

The No. 1 seed, the Sports Illustrated cover, the No. 2 ranking in the polls — the Shockers don’t want that attention to rob them of the chip-on-theshoulder style that served them so well last season.

“We don’t have to change nothing up,” senior Chadrack Lufile said.

“Just play angry and play smart. Go after it like it’s our last game.”

WSU has been changing minds for several seasons now, beating up on higherprofile programs on their way to an NIT title and last season’s Final Four.

They are 14-4 against the SEC, ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten and Pac-12 since the 2010-11 season.

“We know if we give your A-game, every game, every night out, we can play with anybody,” junior forward Darius Carter said. “I don’t really listen much to what people have to say about us. We don’t have to talk about that.”

Madness grips New Mexico … sort of Albuquerque, N.M. (ap) — Fans in New Mexico have big dreams in the NCAA men’s basketball tournament. For the third year in a row, the state’s top two schools — New Mexico and New Mexico State — are going to the dance. And this time they are packed with experience and a lot of talent.

But after two straight early exits from the tournament by both, fans say

this year they are being more restrained.

“I have no expectations.

None,” said 34-year-old Todd Johnson, owner of Dos Hermanos burrito shop in Albuquerque and a New Mexico Lobos fan.

“I’m happy they are there, but I’m not getting my hopes up this time.”

Restrained or not, the state once again has caught March Madness fever after the interstate

rivals won their respective conference titles to earn tournament spots.

From Las Cruces to Albuquerque, fans are pulling out their jerseys, setting up viewing parties and taking to social media to discuss their chances.

Seventh-seeded New Mexico (27-6) is scheduled Friday to take on No. 10 Stanford (21-12) in the South Region in St. Louis.

The Lobos and the Car-

dinals are playing for the first time since 2001-02 and the winner will face the Eastern KentuckyKansas winner.

Meanwhile, 13th-seeded New Mexico State (269) will face No. 4 San Diego State (29-4) today in Spokane, Wash. The Aggies, led by 7-foot 5-inch, 360-pound center Sim Bhullar, are expected to give the Aztecs trouble despite their lower seed.

The race to the tournament even affected Gov. Susana Martinez, who jumped on a plane to Las Vegas to watch both the Lobos and Aggies in their title games last weekend.

Still, many fans said they want to remain cautious especially after touted New Mexico was shocked by Harvard in the first round last year. Cory Munoz, 27, an admissions adviser for the University

of New Mexico, said many fans are still hurt by last year’s surprise early exit.

“Last year, I personally overlooked Harvard,” said Munoz. “This year, I’m a little bit more guarded.”

But will the rivals be cheering for each other?

“Absolutely,” Johnson said. “They are from New Mexico, and we want all teams from New Mexico to do well.”

Dear Annie: My husband and I are expecting our second child. When our first was born, my in-laws (who live out of town) visited shortly after the birth, and it was awful. They tried to separate me from our baby to have alone time with him. And instead of helping out, they created additional work, even though I was still recovering from the birth.

I don’t want to shut them out but would like the first visit to take place at least a month after the baby is born. My husband is understanding but likes to please his family. How can I tactfully schedule a visit to preserve both my sanity and my relationship with my husband’s family? — Not Looking Forward Dear Not: Your husband must agree to support you in this request. It would be best if he could convince his parents to

wait before visiting. We recommend you enlist the help of your pediatrician to suggest that it’s better for the child to wait until he has had his first set of immunizations (usually at two months).

When they press to come sooner, you can give in slowly and eventually settle on four weeks. We trust you will give the same information to your parents.

Dear Annie: My husband and I own a home on a cul-de-sac. Most of

‘Madness’ about to start on CBS Copyright 2014 United Feature Syndicate, distributed by Universal Uclick.

As it has since 1982, CBS will adjust its regularly scheduled prime-time programming to air games from the NCAA Basketball Tournament (7 p.m.). A second game (9:30 p.m.) follows.

So, just as the network preempted “Magnum, P.I.,” ‘‘Simon & Simon” and “Knots Landing” back in the day, it’s asking viewers of “Two and a Half Men” and “Elementary” for a little patience.

There were seasons when CBS was grateful for the NCAA as a ratings boost, something to attract more young viewers than “Diagnosis: Murder” and “Turks.” But over the past years, CBS has dominated Thursdays — and most other nights, with the most-viewed slate of shows. Just last week, the network announced that 18 of its series would be returning next fall.

So is CBS sorry that it’s airing sports instead of “The Big Bang Theory,” the highest-rated network sitcom? Not on your life.

CBS has also acquired the rights to “Thursday Night Football.”

So next fall, its lineup for the night will consist of nothing but sports.

The CBS comedy “The Crazy Ones” is conspicuous for its absence from the list of 18 pickups.

The fall season was notable for the return of three veteran sitcom stars: Michael J. Fox, Sean Hayes and Robin Williams. So far, they’re oh-for-three.

Tonight’s Other Highlights

The remaining 19 compete on “Hell’s Kitchen” (8 p.m.

Fox, TV-14).

Galentine’s Day on “Parks and Recreation” (8:30 p.m., NBC, TV-PG).

Jennifer Lopez performs and the results are read on “American Idol” (9 p.m., Fox, TV-PG).

Mentors and designers form teams on “Project Runway: Under the Gunn” (9 p.m., Lifetime, TV-PG).

Harold is faced with his crooked compromise on “The Red Road” (9 p.m., Sundance, TV-14).

Joel knows what it’s like to be lost on “Parenthood” (10 p.m., NBC, TV-14).

Fitz and Sally grovel before the gun lobby on “Scandal” (10 p.m., ABC, TV-14).

BIRTHDAYS Producer-director-comedian Carl Reiner is 92. Former Canadian prime minister Brian Mulroney is 75. Hockey Hallof-Famer Bobby Orr is 66.

Movie director Spike Lee is 57.

Actress-model-designer Kathy Ireland is 51.

the other original owners have moved on, and several of the homes are now rentals and inhabited by multiple families. This means many, many cars.

Two homes alone account for 13 automobiles.

Every home has a spacious garage and driveway, but these neighbors use that space for junk.

As a result, we always have multiple cars parked in front of our house, sometimes for days at a time, including giant SUVs parked between two driveways, hanging over on each side. And because it’s a cul-de-sac, sometimes the cars are double-parked.

I’ve called the police multiple times, but they don’t always show up, or by the time they arrive, the offending vehicle has been moved.

I’m so tired of looking out my living room window or sitting on

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Thursday, March 20: This year you finally will be able to deal with a loved one directly. If you are single, you will encounter an exciting period for romance anytime from summer on. If you are attached, the two of you start acting like newfound lovers.

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) Use your intuition with an important situation involving a loved one. Tonight: Celebrate the first day of spring.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Handle any important matter in the morning; otherwise, you might not gain the results you want. Tonight: Defer to a friend or loved one for now.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You will want to handle an important matter on your own. The financial benefits of a situation outweigh the negatives.

Tonight: Where your friends are.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Dig into your bag of creative ideas in the morning. Tonight: Get into weekend mode.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Your ability to take in the big picture could help you gain a new insight. Tonight: Stay close to home.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Be willing to express your deeper feelings about a personal matter, as you seem

my patio looking at other people’s cars.

It’s not fair that I should need to move out of my retirement home in order to have a decent view. I know you cannot solve this for me. I’m just venting. — Sick of Your Clunkers Dear Sick: We get it.

Do you have a neighborhood or homeowners association of any kind that could mediate this? Do you think talking to your neighbors would help? People often don’t consider the possibility that their neighbors would be cooperative if they were approached in a spirit of friendship. But also ask the police whether there is anything else you can do.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Pressure builds involving a work matter and your finances.

Tonight: Enjoy the moment, and avoid getting into a disagreement.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your resourcefulness draws strong results in the morning. A family member, though well-meaning, could add to the pressure of the moment. Tonight: Relax.

Tonight: Remain upbeat. Greet spring with a smile.

come for the game, stay for the pickles

W

ith basketball season in full swing, it seems only appropriate to visit one of the more popular Massachusetts Street spots to catch a game and eat some wings (or oysters/ burgers/anything on the menu, really). Jefferson’s has been serving the Lawrence community since 2000, and they’re best known for their wings, oysters and fried pickles. If you’re jonesing for a hot meal, cold beer and lively atmosphere, Jefferson’s will treat you right.

The first Jefferson’s restaurant opened in Jacksonville, Ala., in 1991. The Lawrence location was the second, and today, between Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, Illinois and Kansas, there are more than a dozen Jefferson’s restaurants across the country.

With the family-friendly sports theme, this place is often busy and usually has a pretty great special going on, to boot. Posting their specials on social media sites (Facebook and Twitter), Jefferson’s will occasionally announce 45-cent wings, $5 burgers, half-price appetizers, and if you’re lucky enough, a free side order of fried pickles!

Besides having multiple locations across the country and rockin’ some serious specials, this place is also unique in that it is covered in dollar bills. Yep, covered!

It’s quite the sight to see in person. Happy customers have been leaving their “mark” on the walls for years. In fact, if you’d like to make your own contribution, Jefferson’s menu instructs customers to ask the wait staff for markers and push pins if interested. Talk about serious buy-in from loyal customers!

As you can tell, Jefferson’s is pretty great (and I haven’t even mentioned our food orders yet). The restaurant offers the tried and true staples: apps, salads, wings, sandwiches, wraps, baskets, oysters and kids menu. Easy, right?

I went with the chicken finger wrap with potato salad on the side. The mister ordered a cheeseburger with

fries and wings. And of course, we had to get the fried pickles.

I know that many of you out there have experienced Jefferson’s, but for those few who haven’t, let me leave you with this: fried pickles are where it’s at.

The wrap was great, and the potato salad — better than my mom’s (sorry, Mom)! But fried pickles are a specialty, and Jefferson’s has it down pat. It goes without saying that we left with happy bellies and leftovers for the next day, too.

Our total for the meal — with a beer and lemonade included — came to just $26.58. The meal was great, the game was on and the crowd was energetic; it was an excellent evening out!

let your jayhawk flag fly

A

friend of mine once likened being a Jayhawk fan in March to “rolling around in a vat of gold while being told how beautiful and smart you are.” I think she meant it to be hyperbole, but it’s not far off.

Outside of Lawrence, only the residents of a select few other college towns get it. Inside Lawrence, it’s like a second Christmas without the downsides of family drama and air travel.

There are treats and parties and decorations. Peace and goodwill are extended... well, if not to all, at least toward everyone wearing crimson and blue. Even the weird stranger who sits down at your table without asking becomes a friend when it’s time to sing the “rock chalk” chant.

But the littlest Jayhawks are perhaps the cutest of all.

I still remember the Kid, barely a year old, marching proudly through South Park when the Jayhawks made it to the Final Four in 2012. I’d sewn a big KU flag and hastily attached it to a yard stick, and he waved that flag with a vigor that would compete with the most colorful drum major of any college band.

into pennant shapes.

If your baby Jays would enjoy some flags to wave also, here’s the how-to.

flying bat.

You should be able to easily get 4 flags out of each fat quarter, and you can probably get more if you cut carefully or make your flags a little smaller.

Once your pennants are cut out, it’s time to attach them to the dowel rods.

With the painted side of the fabric facing down this time, place the dowel rod in the center of the flag, and cut two pieces of hem tape to stretch diagonally down the sides of the triangle to the right of the dowel rod.

Then, following the instructions on the hem tape, use your iron to fuse the left side on top of the right side, sandwiching the dowel rod in the middle. If your flag is slipping up and down on the dowel rod, a dab of glue or a little more hem tape will help keep it from coming off the end.

To finish the pennants, use small pieces of hem tape to attach the Jayhawk shapes to the front of the flag and prepare to wave the Jayhawks to victory.

Rock chalk, friends!

A Guide to

spring fashion trends T

his week marks the first one of spring, which means you should be preparing your wardrobe for warmer temperatures and (hopefully) sunny skies. Trends can be

By Emily and Elizabeth Kennedy tricky when you’re shopping for the new season’s trends because some disappear, some stay relevant for many years and others last a hot minute. My advice is to not get too stressed over trying to

sport the best trends for the season, but to find ones that you’re comfortable with, and there’s a strong possibility you might even have pieces in your closet that you can use.

Wearing white

White is one of those spring and summer trends that keeps coming back in new ways. There are so many ways you can style white this season, from pairing a white top with a white skirt, to going for an all-in-one piece, to adding hints of white to your look with accessories.

Elizabeth and I both chose to style two delicate lace and crochet white dresses. We purposely stayed with the head-to-toe neutral look. I think I speak for the both of us when I say I used to shy away from white because I thought it washed out my skin tone, but after seeing models on the runways and celebrities on the red carpet sport this look, I began to embrace my pale skin.

A light jacket is essential for spring. Whether it’s a basic trench coat or a classic jean jacket, there’s always a need for one to throw on over your dresses. We both threw on some nude and tan sandals to complete this delicate white look.

Getting sporty

My sporty outfits literally used to be workout wear. Looking back, I totally had that all wrong. Save the yoga pants for an actual workout or for a quick errand. When referring to fashion, the term sporty doesn’t mean you’ll be getting dressed to go work out, but simply giving your look a sporty flair. Look for pieces like raglan T-shirts, jogger pants (not for jogging), and sneakers like Nike, Converse or wedge sneakers.

J Crew has created this genius combination of a raglan T-shirt with a jeweled neckline. Elizabeth paired it with skinny jeans and Converse sneakers for a sporty-chic look. A raglan T-shirt like this could be paired with shorts or a skirt as well.

Bold and bright

Bright colors and prints are everywhere this spring. I recently picked up an oversized, lightweight sweater from J. Crew that I thought would be perfect for this season. It’s a bright-orange color and super-soft fabric. I styled it with my white skinny jeans, a statement necklace and strappy tan heels. I purposely created a contrast between the white jeans and the bold top to really make the orange color pop. Statement necklaces are also a great option for accessorizing this season.

The maxi

The maxi dress and skirt is a prime example of a trend that has yet to go away. We’ve seen it season after season. We’ll have to admit that it’s one of our favorites because it’s a trend that looks good on anyone at any age. I still have a striped maxi dress that I bought years ago and wear each spring and summer. But if you’re going out to buy a new one, look for a bright or pastel color for the perfect spring maxi. I layered a chambray shirt over my maxi dress and tied it up at the waistline, and accessorized with a metallic tote bag and my cute Chihuahua, Waffles.

SpringTime Myths Debunked Myth 6: Cut grass short to reduce the number of times you need to mow.

Fact: This is partly true — grass cut short is much more likely to die in the summer heat, so you won’t need to mow it. Keep grass mowed to a height of 2 to 3 inches and only mow away the top third of the grass blade. For lawns that have grown too long, cut one-third of its height, wait a few days, and then cut the grass again. Mowing lawns on a regular basis will make turf thicker and healthier.

Myth 1: Spring is the best time for seeding. Grasses planted in the spring often lack the ability to develop a strong root system before the heat of the summer hits.

Fact: Fall is the best time to plant seed.

Myth 2: Get a head start by sowing seed before spring.

Fact: Grass needs moisture, warmth and sunlight to germinate. The random freezing and thawing of pre-spring weather will hinder germination. Plant seed when outdoor temperatures are expected to remain above 50 degrees for a minimum of 10 consecutive nights.

Myth 3: Water lawns daily.

Fact: Frequent watering promotes disease, facilitates weed growth and creates unhealthy root systems. Water green lawns once a week with no more than one inch of water.

Myth 4: Put down pre-emergent early

to prevent weeds.

Fact: Excessive rainfall, weekly watering or any disruption to the soil inhibit a pre-emergent’s ability to restrict weed growth. Most weeds germinate when soil temperatures rise above 50 degrees.

Apply pre-emergents when the forsythia bushes are blooming.

Myth 7: Fertilizing means you have to mow more often.

Fact: Without the benefit of crop rotation and other nutrient building activities, Shutterstock Photo lawns quickly deplete the soils nutrient reserves. Proper fertilization will make Myth 5: Leaving grass clippings on the a thick and lush lawn, not a taller and faster growing one.

Time to prevent Crabgrass

C

rabgrass preventers are herbicides. The germinating seed takes up some of the herbicide and is killed. These herbicides work well on the target crabgrass seed, but the same herbicide works on almost any other seed that is germinating during the chemicals’ effective life. You cannot apply crabgrass preventer and overseed your lawn in the same season.

But crabgrass preventers don’t last forever once applied to the soil. Microorganisms and natural processes begin to gradually break herbicides down soon after they are applied. Therefore, if some products are applied too early, they may have lost much of their strength by the time they are needed.

Most crabgrass preventers are fairly ineffective after about 60 days, although there is considerable variation among products. Dimension and Barricade last longer.

For most of Kansas, crabgrass typically begins to germinate around May 1, or a little later. Therefore, April 15 is a good target date for applying the preventer. It gives the active ingredients time to evenly disperse in the soil.

Weather varies from one spring to the next, and with it the timing of crabgrass germination.

bloom of ornamental plants. When the Eastern redbud tree trees in your area are approaching full bloom, apply crabgrass preventer.

A follow-up application will be needed about eight weeks later unless you are using Dimension or Barricade.

Dimension and Barricade are the only two products that will give

season-long control of crabgrass from a single application. In fact, they can be applied much earlier than April 15 and still will have sufficient residual strength to last the season. Barricade can even be applied in the fall for crabgrass control the next season.

Dimension can be applied as early as March 1. Because of the added

flexibility in timing, these products are favorites of lawn care companies who have many customers to service in the spring.

Dimension is also the best choice if treating a lawn that was planted late last fall. Normally we recommend not using a pre-emergence herbicide unless the lawn has been mowed two to four times. But Dimension is kind to young, tall fescue, perennial ryegrass and Kentucky bluegrass seedlings and can be applied as early as two weeks after the first sign of germination.

Therefore, lawns established in the fall can be safely treated with Dimension the following spring even if they have not been mowed.

Note that products that contain Dimension and Barricade may use the common name rather than the trade name. The common chemical name for Dimension is dithiopyr and Barricade’s is prodiamine.

Remember, when using any pesticide, read the label and follow instructions carefully.
