House Republican leaders Monday introduced a school finance plan that they said would provide $129 million to satisfy a Kansas Supreme Court order to provide equalizing funds to help poor districts.

“It’s a starting point,” said Vickrey House Majority Leader Jene Vickrey, RLouisburg. He said the House Appropriations Committee would probably start considering House Bill 2774 this afternoon.

The measure would also make numerous policy changes in the operation of public schools.

A task force appointed by the Lawrence school board on Monday began looking at ways to balance student enrollments at several buildings in the coming years to prevent some of them from becoming overcrowded.

“Some schools are overcrowded, and we have to address it,” said school board president Rick Ingram, who called for the formation of the task force last fall. “We just want to address it in the least disruptive way that we can.”

DEATHS Dorothea Margaret evans Funeral services for Dorothea M. Evans, 97, Lawrence, will be 11 am Thursday at Plymouth Congregational Church, with the Rev. Dr. Peter A. Luckey officiating. Burial will follow at Memorial Park Cemetery.

Dorothea Bartz Evans passed away on March 23, 2014 at Presbyterian Manor where she had been a long-time resident.

Dorothea Margaret Bartz was born on August 1, 1916 in the family farm house in Eudora, Kansas. The two bedroom house with a dirt floor had no running water, gas or electricity with cooking and heating done on a wood-burning stove.

All six of the family members lived in the house.

Dorothea was called Do (as in Doe) much of her life by family and friends.

She was the youngest of four children born to Lidia Haas Bartz and Fred Bartz.

Her grandmother, Mary Haas, was born in Germany and married William George Haas near St. Louis. Her brothers, George and Raymond, and her sister Pearl Seyler all lived near Eudora and preceded her in death.

She attended a country school from first through eighth grade and rode her beloved horse Fanny two miles to school alongside a neighbor girl. They were late one day and galloped to the school only to be turned in by a neighbor lady to the Principal for “racing”. This resulted in a good scolding and their parents were told.

Dorothea moved to her Brother George’s home in Eudora when she started high school.

George had started the first telephone company in the Eudora area and after school, nights and weekends Do was the switchboard operator.

1934 was the year of her high school graduation.

She then rented a room in Lawrence and attended the Lawrence Business School located at Seventh and Louisiana Streets and after graduation worked for several local attorneys.

Do met Robert Kenneth Evans at a Eudora civic picnic and they were married on December 23, 1944. Bob and Do began a career together operating a mobile x-ray unit for the State of Kansas, visiting every central and western town and county in the state. Their work was instrumental in drastically reducing the incidence of tuberculosis throughout Kansas.

The State Board of Health retired the unit in 1957 as inoculation became widespread and successful.

Bob and Do then became employed at Kansas University, Bob as manager of the

Chemistry Department Warehouse and Do as a secretary for several offices at Strong Hall including ViceChancellor for Finance Raymond Nichols. Bob and Do both retired in 1981.

Do was a member of the Lawrence Business and Professional Women’s Club and served as corresponding and recording secretary while heading several committees.

She was selected Woman of the Year as reported by the Journal World in 1977.

She was a member of the Plymouth Congregational Church, Ladies Auxiliary of the Lawrence Shrine Club and the Republican Woman’s Club. She has also served as a Second Precinct Committee Woman since 1972 and as a delegate for the Third Congressional District for the Kansas Republican Party. Bob and Do lived in their home at Eleventh and Illinois prior to her move to Presbyterian Manor.

Dorothea is the last remaining member of the immediate Bartz and Evans families of her generation. She is survived by a niece from the Bartz family Doris (Elijah) Touchton of Pittsburg, Kansas, two nephews from the Evans family, Robert (Ruth) Allison of Spring Hill, Kansas and Steve (April) Evans of Lecompton, Kansas and two nieces from the Evans Family, Anita Evans Rounkles of O’Fallon, Illinois and Nancy Evans (Raymond) Schaffer of North Little Rock, Arkansas. She was preceded in death by husband Robert Evans in 1993 and three nieces from the Evans family, Pat Allison (Larry) Mercier of Anaheim, California, Earlene Pierce (Murrel) Dean of Anaheim, CA and Elaine Pierce Siebuhr of Pittsburg, Kansas.

Friends may call from Noon to 8 pm on Wednesday March 26, 2014, at Rumsey-Yost Funeral Home.

The family suggests memorial contributions may be made to Plymouth Congregational Church, sent in care of the funeral home.

Chancellor shares insights into life, leadership

By Caitlin Doornbos cvdoornbos@ljworld.com

Kansas University Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little revealed the person behind the title during an on-stage interview with KU alumna and Dean of the Pepperdine University School of Law Deanell Reece Tacha at the Em-

ily Taylor and Marilyn Stokstad Women’s Leadership Lecture on Monday night.

The lecture, presented by the Hall Center for the Humanities, focused on Gray-Little’s life and leadership before coming to KU, giving the public an intimate perspective of the leader.

Gray-Little described herself

was largely funded by dipping into the district’s cash reserves in certain funds, a practice district officials have said cannot continue indefinitely.

The House on Monday gave final approval to a bill that seeks to disengage Kansas from the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare.

House Bill 2553 was approved on a 74-48 vote and sent to the Senate for consideration.

The measure would allow Kansas to join a LEGISLATURE compact of states that would retain federal health dollars but exempt themselves from the requirements of the ACA. Before it could be implemented, such a compact would have to be approved by both the U.S. House and Senate.

Teacher contract talks begin amid school finance issues

Negotiators for the Lawrence school district and the local teachers union met face-to-face Monday night for the first formal round of talks on new con-

tracts for the upcoming school year.

But most of the discussion centered on nonsalary issues such as family leave policy, health benefits and time spent for professional development, while both sides said they are

waiting on the Kansas Legislature to settle on a school finance package to determine how much money might be available for pay raises.

Last year, teachers received an average 3 percent increase in their base salaries. That

Kansas Insurance Commissioner Sandy Praeger, one of the few Republicans in the nation who supports the ACA, said under the bill the state could shortchange Medicare to fund other budget needs. AARP Kansas also testified against the bill, citing similar fears.

State Rep. Brett Hildabrand, R-Shawnee, said federal funds could be shifted around but would have to stay within health care programs.

The proposal has the backing of the Kansas Chamber and Republican Secretary of State Kris Kobach. Eight other states have adopted similar measures: Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas and Utah.

Lawrence legislators all voted against the bill.

Gray-Little said. “Looking back, if I was in school today, I would be recognized as having a behavior disorder.�

Soon after, the young girl who would one day become an academic leader had a change of heart.

Gray-Little said as she grew older, she became more like the woman she is today — driven, diligent and an avid reader. “Around fifth grade I became studious and pious,� Gray-Little said. “My sister thought I’d become ‘insufferable.’�

In high school, she was

a regular at her local library. She spent her free time studying philosophy and history before developing an interest in psychology, which she would study in college.

During her undergraduate years at Marywood University in Scranton, Pa., Gray-Little lived on campus all four years and participated in debate and choir, which shaped her enthusiasm for student extracurricular activities. “There are instances where those activities can be just as important as what you learn in the classroom,� Gray-Little said.

Base state aid for public schools is currently set to go up by $14 per pupil next year, which would mean about $246,000 in new base funding for the Lawrence district. But the whole issue of school finance is currently in flux in Topeka as lawmakers try to respond to a Supreme Court decision saying they need to increase aid flowing to poor school districts.

Both sides are also waiting to receive proposals for the cost of medical coverage next year, although district officials say they are expecting to see about a 6.5 percent increase in costs.

Of that, about 2.9 percent is the result of the district’s claims history last year, while 3.6 percent is

Last year, health insurance costs went up about 11 percent.

Rick Reber, lead negotiator for the Lawrence Education Association, which bargains on behalf of teachers, described it as a “hurry up and wait� situation. “Everything is either waiting on another committee or waiting on money,� he said.

The school district opened the talks with a package of proposed changes, some of which have an indirect impact on how much certain teach-

ers may be paid next year.

One item would allow teachers to move up the salary schedule in the middle of the school year if they earn either a master’s or doctoral degree during the term, as long as they notify the district

by Aug. 20 that they expect to receive the degree.

Assistant superintendent Kyle Hayden said that would benefit teachers who earn degrees through online programs that confer the degree as soon as the work is completed. Currently, teachers who earn advanced degrees have to wait until the next contract year before receiving the additional pay.

Gray-Little said she never had considered university administration, though she relished the idea of becoming a faculty member. “I never thought I’d go into university administration until I was in it,�

Gray-Little said, “but I was intrigued by being in a position to make things happen.�

But while considering accepting the position as chancellor at KU in 2006, Gray-Little said the desire to accomplish more led her to Kansas. “I had thought there was something else I wanted to do,� GrayLittle said, “but I didn’t know what that was.�

While at KU, GrayLittle has faced significant challenges, most recently with the unveiling of “Bold Aspirations,� the

university’s plan toward recognition as a top-tier international research university.

Gray-Little said in times of change, perseverance and goalmaking are necessary. “I don’t think you get to a point in your experience where change is not a challenge,� Gray-Little said. “Making a commitment about where you want to be and doing the things to get there is not easy; it’s painful in some ways and can also lead to disaffection, and that’s hard, but not a reason not to do it.�

The lecture, which was sponsored by the Hall Center of Humanities, aims to support lectures by prominent women on women’s leadership issues. Past speakers include political commentator Donna Brazile and attorney Sarah Weddington, best known for representing “Jane Roe� in the landmark case of Roe v. Wade.

But the district is also asking teachers to increase from six to 10 the number of collaboration days that are spent doing professional development on what are called “district priority� issues.

Teachers in Lawrence currently use Wednesday afternoons for collaboration work. That’s time reserved for elementary teachers of a particular grade, or secondary teachers who work in certain subjects, to meet together and coordinate their instructional plans.

But Hayden said the district needs more of that time to be set aside for districtwide priorities, such as implementing the new Common Core standards, integrating technology in the classroom, shifting toward the “blended learning� model of instruction and diversity issues, just to name a few.

Lawrence High

School teacher Jeff Plinsky, who is part of the union’s negotiating team, said he understood the need for more district priority days because of the number of changes being implemented, both at the state and local level. But he said teachers would like some assurance those demands will be lowered in the future.

The LEA also offered a few items it would like to see included in a new contract. Those included formal definitions of certain terms used in the contract.

The union also wants the union itself to be named as an entity that can file formal grievances under the contract.

The two sides hope to reach a final agreement in May. The next scheduled meeting is set for March 31.

Topeka man sentenced in drug-related robbery

By Nikki Wentling nwentling@ljworld.com

A Topeka man was sentenced to seven years in federal prison on Monday for his role in a drug-related robbery at a Lawrence McDonald’s last June, according to U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom’s office.

King As part of a plea agreement, Mario A. King, 35, pleaded guilty to one count of unlawful possession with a firearm in furtherance of armed robbery.

Lawrence police were dispatched to reports of a shooting at McDonald’s, 4911 W. Sixth St., around 3 p.m. June 1. It was later determined the incident was a drug-related robbery. When officers arrived, according to police, the four men later charged in the case were gone, and investigators interviewed witness Jon Crawford, 31, from Topeka.

In court June 25, Crawford said he was at the

McDonald’s to sell two pounds of K2, a synthetic marijuana product, to one of the defendants when some of the others tried to rob him at gunpoint.

Douglas County prosecutors charged Anthony Foster, 30, of Minneapolis, Kan., with arranging that alleged drug deal. Crawford, who was granted immunity from state and federal prosecution to testify, told the court Foster called him June 1 asking to buy three pounds of K2, which has been criminalized as a controlled substance by the federal government.

According to narrative from King’s plea agreement, Crawford planned to sell Foster about two pounds of K2 for $2,000. When he arrived at the McDonald’s parking lot, as agreed, Crawford found Foster with King. King then entered Crawford’s vehicle, sat in the front passenger’s seat and attempted to remove a long-barreled revolver from his waistband, Crawford said.

The plea agreement indicates Crawford dove into the vehicle

and punched King in the face. King then drew the firearm, which was later revealed to be a .357 revolver, and pointed it at Crawford. While Crawford fought with King for control of the weapon, Crawford said he was struck by 39-year-old Topeka resident Jesse J. Forbes Jr., who is set for jury trial May 19. Crawford was eventually able to open the vehicle’s passenger door, run into the McDonald’s and make contact with employees inside.

King was initially charged with aggravated assault, criminal possession of a firearm, a misdemeanor count of unlawfully seizing a vehicle and two felony drug counts related to an alleged attempt to buy synthetic marijuana. If King had been convicted on the drug charges, he could have faced up to 17 years in prison.

At the time of the robbery, King was on parole after spending nearly three years in Kansas prisons for involuntary manslaughter in the 2008 death of a 20-year-old man in Topeka.

Overall, enrollment in the district grew nearly 2 percent this year, prompting the school board to immediately add more construction projects to the list of expansions and renovations being funded with the recently-passed $92.5 milSCHOOLS lion bond issue.

Board members have said they want to hold each elementary school to no more than about 400 pupils each so they can remain “neighborhood” schools. But with the district’s current

growth rate, doing that could mean eventually having to build at least one new grade school, and possibly a new middle school.

In the meantime, though, Ingram is urging the board to consider minor adjustments to each school’s attendance zone to make the maximum use out of the space already available.

Ingram said he hopes the panel will have a proposal to submit to the board before the end of this school year. And he said any proposal would include a “grandfather

clause” that would allow students already enrolled at a building to continue going there if their families choose to, even if the boundary shifts would otherwise move them to a different school.

The task force plans to meet again in two weeks, on April 7. At that meeting, members hope to have more detailed data from the district’s demographics consultant, RSP Inc., that will show specifically how various boundary changes would affect enrollment at each of the schools.

A blow to wind power State legislators shouldn’t hastily throw out renewable energy standards that have helped build the wind energy industry in Kansas.

D

oing away with the Kansas renewable energy standards could have a devastating effect on the state’s growing wind energy industry.

Nonetheless, the Senate Utilities Committee voted last week to repeal those standards and, as one senator put it, “let business do its thing.” The committee gutted an already approved House bill and replaced it with the repeal measure, meaning that the action could be approved by both houses of the Legislature without ever facing a public hearing that might reveal valid drawbacks to the bill.

The renewable energy portfolio standards (RPS) were passed in 2009 and would require major utility companies in the state to generate 20 percent of their energy through renewable sources by 2020. The impact of the standards was almost immediate. Since 2009, according to the Kansas Energy Information Network, at least a dozen wind farms have gone online in Kansas, creating construction jobs and new capital investment in the state. Passage of the standards, which signified the state’s commitment to wind power, also helped attract investment from wind generation industries, such as Siemens, which manufactures giant wind turbine nacelles at its plant in Hutchinson.

Critics blame the standards for increased electrical rates in Kansas, but wind energy advocates cite Kansas Corporation Commission figures that indicate the RPS has almost no impact on the state’s electrical rates, which more often seem to be driven by the need to upgrade or expand coal-fired plants.

Kansas electric companies, such as WestarEnergy, are on track to meet the renewable energy standards.

There seems to be little doubt that the standards helped kick-start the wind energy business in Kansas, one of about 30 states with RPS laws. Some state legislators apparently see the RPS as an impediment to free enterprise in the state, but the standards have helped support a growing industry that takes advantage of a clean, renewable and abundant natural resource in Kansas: the wind.

Legislators shouldn’t risk jeopardizing those advances — especially without even opening the issue to public discussion before passing the repeal.

Russia moving into Americas?

When Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said three weeks ago that Moscow is seeking to establish a military presence in Venezuela, Nicaragua and Cuba, many of us dismissed it as a private comment by a top official who may have had one vodka too many.

But after last week’s Russian annexation of Crimea, with growing speculation that we are returning to the days of the Cold War, and with press reports of the surprise arrival of a Russian spy ship — the Viktor Leonov SS-175 — in Havana, it may be time to take a second look at Shoigu’s remarks.

According to a Feb. 26 report by the Russian RIA Novosti news agency, Shoigu said that Russia “is planning to expand its permanent military presence outside its borders by placing military bases in a number of foreign countries,” including Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Vietnam and Singapore.

“The talks are under way, and we are close to signing the relevant documents,” Shoigu was quoted as saying. The agency added that Russia is working toward the goal of “expanding Russia’s global influence.”

Currently, Russia has only one naval base outside the former Soviet Union — in Tartus, Syria, the report said. In 2002, Russia closed a radar base in Cuba, and a naval base in Vietnam.

In addition to the Russian intelligence ship that was seen at the Port of Havana on Feb. 27, at least four other

“

My biggest fear is that a larger Russian military presence would drive Washington to respond in kind.”

Russian Navy ships visited Venezuela last August, the Venezuelan daily El Universal reported Aug. 27.

Most political and military analysts in Washington tell me that Russia is most likely not thinking of setting up full-blown military bases in Venezuela, Nicaragua or Cuba, but rather small-scale refueling stations for its ships and warplanes.

One of the most widely held theories is that Russian President Vladimir Putin wants to send a message to the United States — if Washington keeps encroaching into Russia’s periphery, Moscow will reciprocate.

“The Russians feel that the United States is encroaching on their sphere of influence, so their reciprocal response is to become involved in the U.S. sphere of influence,” says Carl Meacham, head of

the Latin American department of the Center of Strategic and International Studies in Washington.

Russia’s anxiety has grown in recent years with the U.S.-backed expansion of the Western NATO military alliance, and more recently with Ukraine’s statements that it wants to join the 28-member European Union, analysts say.

Others believe that Russia, which faces economic troubles because of weak world oil prices, may want to establish a military presence in Venezuela, Nicaragua and Cuba in order to increase arms sales to these countries.

Over the last 12 years, Russia has sold more than $14 billion worth of war planes and military equipment in Latin America, nearly 80 percent of it to Venezuela, according to Russia’s staterun Rosoboronexport weapons firm.

U.S. officials are skeptical about the possibility of Russian military bases in Latin America. One senior official told me that Nicaragua’s Constitution prohibits the establishment of foreign military installations, and that Cuba’s defense minister has said that he is unaware of any negotiations with Russia on this issue.

But Republican hardliners are already accusing the Obama administration of failing to recognize an alleged Russian threat in the region.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for March 25, 1914: years “A Sure Sign of ago Spring is This — IN 1914 The 1914 baseball guides arrived in town this morning. Eager baseballists made a rush on the dispensary and secured the official knowledge book of the season.”

“The planting season is here.

The children can get packages of seeds for a penny apiece and if any child does not have that penny it can get a package of seeds free. Mrs. Barker has charge of the distribution and it is important to have good seeds and plant them early”

United States is neglecting,” says Roger Noriega, an American Enterprise Institute fellow and former head of Latin American affairs at the Bush administration’s State Department. “The Russians have the capacity, the means and the motives to do this.”

My opinion: It’s hard to take Russian Defense Minister Shoigu’s remarks too seriously, because Russia is essentially broke, and can’t afford a major military expansion abroad.

Despite Putin’s annexation of Crimea and his obvious desire to rebuild the former Soviet empire — replacing the old Communist ideology with his rampant crony capitalism — the fact is that Russia’s GDP in nominal terms is smaller than California’s, and smaller than Brazil’s.

Still, Putin is the type of megalomaniac who is more interested in making his country powerful than in making his people prosperous. He may try to establish some kind of military presence in Latin America, both as a show of force and to try to sell more weapons.

My biggest fear is that a larger Russian military presence would drive Washington to respond in kind. We could see a new East-West arms race in Latin America, in which arms merchants on both sides will get richer, and the region’s people will get poorer.

One and done To the editor: Sadly the mighty Jayhawk’s season has come to an end. The picture of Andrew Wiggins trying to hold on to the ball surrounded by his opponents says a lot, but his statements and near constant moniker of “one and done” say more. This year’s team had so much talent, and if they’d practiced being a team for the long haul, instead of focusing on one year of glory, the outcomes could have been different in nearly every loss.

Money is the siren of today, the set of blinders that lead men and boys down roads that do not have to be followed.

Both Wiggins and Embiid have been lauded as one-year players all year. If they could see beyond the money and stay in school at Kansas University, the Jayhawk basketball team would be much stronger next year and win with their talents.

Focus on the team, guys, the money will still be there down that road. Going there with a pride and smile would look so much better than the front page of anguish that ended this one.

days of desperation and doubt over the missing Malaysia Airlines jet, the country’s officials said an analysis of satellite data points to a “heartbreaking” conclusion: Flight 370 met its end in the southern reaches of the Indian Ocean, and none of those aboard survived.

The somber announcement late Monday by Prime Minister Najib Razak left unresolved many more troubling questions about what

went wrong aboard the Boeing 777 to take it so far off-course.

In a message sent to some of their relatives, Malaysia Airlines officials said that “we have to assume beyond any reasonable doubt that MH370 has been lost and that none of those on board survived.”

Officials said they concluded that the flight had been lost in the waters west of Perth, Australia.

It was the largest single batch of death sentences in the world in recent years, Amnesty International said. The U.S. State Department said it “defies logic” that so many people could get a fair trial in two sessions.

In an unexpected development, Russia’s foreign minister Sergey Lavrov met separately in The Hague with his Ukrainian counterpart, the highest level of contact between the two nations since Russia moved forces into Crimea nearly a month ago. U.S. officials said they welcomed the meeting but challenged Russia to take further steps to de-escalate the conflict.

Lavrov sought to downplay the significance of the West purging Russia from the G-8, describing the economic partnership as an informal club that has been superseded by other international forums.

Hague, Nether— Seeking to isolate Russia, the U.S. and Western allies declared Monday they are indefinitely cutting Moscow out of a major international coalition and warned they stand ready to order tougher economic penalties if Vladimir Putin presses further into Ukraine.

The moves came amid a flurry of diplomatic jockeying as the West grappled for ways to punish Russia for its annexation of the Crimean Peninsula and prevent the crisis from escalating.

YOUR HEALTH YOUR COMMUNITY YOUR STORY

Double Take

Dr. Wes Crenshaw and Kendra Schwartz

It’s time to delete your ex ‘zombie’ Dear Dr. Wes & Kendra: Is there some reason that girls feel like they need to keep talking to their ex after they break up? It’s pretty much ruining my girlfriend and my relationship, and I may break up with her because of it.

Wes: First off, it’s not just girls. I’ve seen just as many boys keeping on with an ex as you describe. If you read this column you’ve heard me say more than once that today’s young people have as much trouble getting apart as they do getting together. But you already seem to know that from firsthand experience, and you’re really asking why it’s such a problem. It’s a good question, and I’ve spent a lot of time trying to figure it out.

First of all, social media and text messaging have made breaking up about one hundred times worse because former loves just can’t seem to ignore each other’s presence on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr, etc. At times it almost seems addictive.

Texting is particularly troublesome because it takes about four seconds to get a bad inspiration to contact an ex, and five more to hit send. There’s just not any time for reflection or asking oneself about the wisdom of starting up talking once more.

Second, teens now seem to have a harder time accepting discomfort than ever before.

Perhaps we’ve given them too little to struggle with or maybe they just feel overwhelmed as a generation and don’t want to take on any more stress. I’m not for

JOPSEPHINE VEE, 8, works her way up the climbing wall Saturday at CrossFit Lawrence, 815 E. 12th St. The warehouse gym is offering a weekend “recess” fitness program for kids that sends them bouldering and clamboring over walls while qualified instructors keep close watch.

FREE-CLIMBING FUN KIDS RECESS

Saturday kids’ class at CrossFit reimagines play outside the box

nside an east Lawrence warehouse on Saturday mornings, recess takes on several forms. It means gathering around an instructor who’s also a professional volleyball player and mimicking her movements as Haddaway’s “What Is Love” blasts.

It’s scaling a wall pocked with grippable boulders, twisting and flexing this way and that.

It’s handstands and burpees and belly-crawling under tiny yellow hurdles.

Soon enough, though, it becomes what the participants — and their onlooking parents — make of it at CrossFit Lawrence, 815 E. 12th St., dur-

There, the high-intensity workout program that emphasizes constant movement and a grab bag of techniques introduces itself to a younger crowd.

“We show kids how to move safer than on a playground,” said Thomas Thatcher, owner of CrossFit Lawrence. “It’s structured play.”

As Thatcher speaks, Savan-

Noyes, a former Kansas University volleyball player and current pro, begins with warm-ups that find the children flexing, rolling and stretching on the ground.

Two sessions, one for ages 2 to 10 and another for kids 10 and older, span about a half hour. Thatcher welcomes newcomers and regulars alike to walk in and pay $2 to participate.

HEALTH NOTES Senior Services meeting today

Weight-loss pledge starts April 1

April programs promote awareness

Douglas County Senior Services Inc. will be hosting its annual board meeting today from 5:30 to 6 p.m. It will be held at the Lawrence Senior Center, 745 Vermont St. A brief presentation will begin at 5:30 p.m. with a social immediately following. The public is invited to attend.

A new 20-week weightloss challenge will raise funds for local nonprofits.

“Pledging for Pounds” begins April 1 and ends Sept. 1. All are welcome to participate. Contestants will seek pledges, participate in weekly weight check-ins and be ranked at the end of the competition by percentage of body weight lost. Proceeds will benefit the Fairy Godmother Fund and the top three winners’ nonprofits of choice.

The challenge is the brainchild of Lydia Diebolt, director of Centro Hispano in Lawrence, who says the “public commitment and the desire to raise funds for local causes may be powerful motivators for community-minded folks who need an extra push when working toward a personal goal like losing weight.”

Contestants will receive pledge sheets that encourage friends, family, coworkers and neighbors to pledge a flat-rate amount or pledge by the number of pounds the contestant loses during the competition. The Summit gym in downtown Lawrence will host weekly weight checkins and track the contestants’ weight loss.

The first check-in will take place at 6 p.m. April 1 at the Summit gym, 901 New Hampshire St. — or, alternatively, at 6 p.m. April 3. Those interested may sign up and obtain pledge forms at the checkin. The first 15 people to sign up will receive a free membership to the Summit for the duration of the challenge.

For more information, or to sign up prior to the start date, contact Diebolt at pledgingforpounds@gmail. com.

To mark Sexual Assault Awareness Month, Lawrence-based GaDuGi SafeCenter has a variety of activities planned in the community. The center acknowledges that this is a difficult issue to talk about but hopes these events and presentations will make that conversation a little bit easier. The events include: l LUNAFEST: Thursday, April 3 at 7 p.m. at Liberty Hall, 644 Massachusetts St. Tickets are $10 and $7 for students. This series of short films by, for, and about women is hosted by GaDuGi SafeCenter, the Willow Domestic Violence Center and the Kansas Coalition Against Sexual and Domestic Violence. All proceeds will go to the sponsoring agencies and to breast cancer research. l Sexual Violence in the Heartland: Thursday, April 10 at 7 p.m. at the Union Pacific Depot, 402 N. Second St. Join community members for an interactive discussion about sexual violence and how you can make a difference for the lives of survivors. l Human Trafficking 101: Thursday, April 17 at 7 p.m. at the Union Pacific Depot, 402 N. Second St. Learn more and get involved in GaDuGi SafeCenter’s new human trafficking initiatives. l Real Talk presents “It’s Complicated: Healthy LGBTQ Dating & Enthusiastic Consent”: April 19 at 1 p.m. at the Lawrence Queer Youth Voice drop-in center (Penn House, 1035 Pennsylvania St.) The Real Talk sex ed program hosts the Kansas City Anti-Violence Project to explore healthy sexuality and consent in LGBTQ relationships l TCBY/Mrs. Fields, 845 Massachusetts St., proceeds go to support GaDuGi SafeCenter: Every Monday in April from 6-8 p.m.

Health Champions to be honored The Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department will recognize Ellen Young and Logan Brown as the 2014 Douglas County Health Champions during a community breakfast April 11.

The breakfast will be from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. at the Community Health Facility, 200 Maine St. The event is open to the public and is part of the health department’s celebration of National Public Health Week. Keynote speaker will be Michel Loomis, of Lawrence, who has been recognized locally and by the state of Kansas for her efforts to improve health among youth.

Young, 60, of Lawrence, has shared her passion for running and fitness with countless others as a longtime leader at Red Dog’s Dog Days community workouts and a volunteer coordinator for numerous races in the region, including the Red Dog Run, Jingle Jog and Mass Street Mile.

Brown, 18, a Free State High School senior from Eudora, has volunteered for the past three years at GaDuGi SafeCenter, which provides 24-hour services for women, children and men affected by sexual violence.

CrossFit CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

Adrienne Anderson has worked out through the gym’s adult program for two years.

She said she likes how exercises can be scaled to participants’ ability, adding that she even worked out each day of her pregnancy on up to the day she went into labor with Wyatt, her now 1-year-old son. Anderson’s other children, Porter, 6, and Quinn, 4, have followed suit, becoming regulars at the Saturday sessions.

“Porter loves burpees and the ropes,” An-

derson said. “And my 4-year-old just loves following Savannah.”

Both Thatcher and Anderson addressed what they called misconceptions that CrossFit is dangerous or reckless. It can be, Thatcher said, if the coaches are dangerous and reckless.

But at the Lawrence gym, Anderson said, instructors watch students of all ages “like a hawk.”

“We want you to come back tomorrow,” she remembers them saying.

Miranda Fowler was still wearing her athletic attire from her morning workout as her daughter Peyton,

LET’S GET SOCIAL

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Tuesday, March 25, 2014

Dear Annie: I have played in a local poker league for 10 years and have built solid friendships with these people. Three years ago, a new crew joined our crowd. At first, they were friendly, but in the past two years, one of them began having home poker parties. I was completely caught off guard when I started noticing Facebook posts with all of our friends, and my husband and I were not on the invite list.

I tried to be a good sport and would post comments to let them know I was glad they had a good time, but deep down, I was hurt that people I’d known for a decade didn’t seem to mind that we were not there.

Last year, when I noticed once again that we were not invited to

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

a gathering, I commented that it was amazingly rude to expect me to be courteous and friendly during our poker games when it’s obvious that she has no regard for my feelings at all.

I later attempted to extend an olive branch to all of the members of our league (including Miss Rude) by inviting them to my husband’s birthday party, but not one of them showed up.

Do I need a shrink, or should I just put all of

Five-part ‘Jews’ series too broad The bigger the subject, the more tedious the documentary.

That’s my philosophy and I’m sticking to it. I’m a big fan of focusing on a particular subject and drawing out big ideas from specifics. A great example of this approach can be found in the 2007 film “Helvetica.” The discussion of a single font or typeface evoked a much broader conversation about culture, history and politics. You can stream it on Netflix.

Make a documentary about a paperclip and you can discuss the uses of steel, industrial design, the rise and fall of the office, the world of paper and myriad particulars. Show me a film on the history of metal production and I’ll be asleep in five minutes.

Survey histories certainly have their place, but as television they can be deadly. With “The Story of the Jews With Simon Schama” (7 p.m., PBS, check local listings), a five-part series, Schama has approached the impossible. Meditating on three millennia of history that include the stories of the Old and New Testaments and 2,000 years of diaspora, oppression, culture, endurance, literature, science, genocide, assimilation and resilience is a lot to approach in 50 hours, never mind five.

And putting himself and his religious identity at the center of the narration risks turning “Jews” into an exercise in personal and cultural self-congratulation, a tenuous spot for a historian.

At their best and their worst, big picture TV survey histories offer the impression that somebody is reading to you from a coffee-table book. I think a culture that identifies with the preservation, celebration and adoration of the written word deserves a little better.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Tuesday, March 25: This year one of your biggest issues will be keeping your composure when life and relationships seem out of whack. You might have a tendency to blame others.

If you are single, relationships that you begin could feel heavy or serious. If you are attached, the two of you become more expressive than you have been in the past.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) You might think that a partner is overserious and not aware of how you feel. Tonight: Where the gang is.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You’ll want to break precedent and head in a new direction, but a partner might balk at the idea. Tonight: Take the lead.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Deal with a situation directly, and keep in mind that a partner can be demanding. Tonight: Try a new type of cuisine.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Others tend to come to you with specific demands. You might wonder what is possible under the circumstances. Tonight: Dinner for two.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Get into a project immediately if you have any desire to complete it before the day is over.

Tonight: You flourish around the crowds.

ate their generosity, we have told our friends and relatives that a gift certificate (in any amount) to a restaurant is most welcome. It is a nice treat and an incentive to get out. But few of them choose this option. Last Christmas, we were inundated with tchotchkes for the home we are leaving.

Would you please address this so our requests aren’t ignored?

— Ft. Myers, Fla. Dear Florida: If the same people keep doing this, it’s OK to ask them to stop, as you no longer need these items and will give them to charity. You can sincerely suggest that they make a direct donation to the charity instead.

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

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Speak your mind and allow greater give-and-take between you and someone else.

Tonight: Run an errand or two.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You have the foundation for a better situation, yet you seem to be holding back. Check out an emotional investment with care. Tonight: Do something fun.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Seek out a friend or loved one. You might want to reverse direction when you feel pinned down. Tonight: Head on home.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might feel burdened by someone’s demands, and could be wondering what to do next. Tempers are likely to flare.

Tonight: Out and about.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Be forthright in how you deal with a situation. You could be in a conflict with someone with whom you regularly interact. Tonight: Play nice.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Not until later today will you feel at your best. You might be faced with a precarious situation.

Tonight: Do something new.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You’ll feel in your mind that you must follow your chosen path. Tonight: Out with friends.

Kansas football expects better defense

NCAAS • THE MORNING AFTER

‘What if …’

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Kansas University football is back to spring practices after a week off for spring break.

KU coach Charlie Weis welcomed his team back to town with an intense workout Sunday night and will return to the field today after Weis and his offensive coaches meet with the media.

While the installation of a new offense and the transition to new offensive coordinator and offensive-line coach John Reagan and wide receivers coach Eric Kiesau have been among the biggest story lines of the spring thus far, the forward movement of a defense that made positive strides in 2013 has operated a little under the radar.

That’s understandable given the offensive struggles KU has endured during Weis’ first two seasons and every fan’s interest in how those weaknesses will be improved this season, but those who are responsible for taking the defense to an even higher level in 2014 believe the pieces are in place for another big season.

“I think the defense has a chance of really doing something pretty good around here this year,” Weis said before spring drills began.

“There are some players that I am really looking forward to getting out there.”

While those players — like defensive end Andrew Bolton, defensive back Kevin Short and several newcomers — have an element of excitement surrounding their name, the more proven players have the defensive coaches most fired up about the upcoming season.

“I think across the board we have a lot more guys who have Bowen been in the battles, and there’s just more of a trust factor that you know this guy can get his job done,” defensive coordinator Clint Bowen said.

Asked for specific examples of the guys he was talking about, Bowen started rattling them off and had trouble stopping.

“We know (linebacker) Ben Heeney’s gonna be a leader on our defense,” he said. “On the back end, you know (safeties) Cassius Sendish and Isaiah Johnson are gonna show up and work and play. Up front, (defensive lineman) Ben Goodman’s no longer in that I’m-astarter-fo-the-first-time role.

They’re guys who the other guys have seen make plays in Big 12 football games.”

KANSAS UNIVERSITY CENTER JOEL EMBIID CONSOLES PERRY ELLIS after the Jayhawks’ 60-57 loss to Stanford in the Round of 32 of the NCAA Tournament on Sunday in St. Louis. Battling a stress fracture in his back, the 7-foot Embiid did not play in either of KU’s NCAA Tournament games.

Jayhawks ponder what could have been

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University freshman center Joel Embiid took to Twitter on Monday to express his feelings about the 2014 NCAA Tournament.

“WHAT IF..........?????” the 7-footer from Cameroon wrote, presumably asking the world to consider what might have happened had he not been suffering from a stress fracture in his back and been able to play in KU’s

60-57 Round of 32 loss to Stanford in St. Louis.

Obviously there’s no way of knowing if a healthy Embiid would have led KU into Thursday’s Sweet 16 game against Dayton in Memphis — a game in which the Jayhawks would have been favorites.

“Hurts so bad,” Tweeted freshman guard Wayne Selden, who had two points off 1-of-5 shooting with three steals in 18 minutes against Stanford. “I have so much love for this team, and for it to come to an end like this

is so painful. But it was a good year with a great group of guys. Thank you to all the fans that stayed faithful through our ups and downs.

Sorry we couldn’t pull through..Rock Chalk.”

Senior elder statesman Tarik Black, who had 18 points and six rebounds, offered advice to KU’s returning players, plus signees Cliff Alexander and Kelly Oubre following the defeat. KU, the regular-season Big 12 champion, finished 25-10.

“You go through college

to teach you something.

(There are) good times and bad times,” Black said. “The good times you experience, hold onto them, remember them and what you did to have them. And the bad times ... remember what you did wrong so you can fix them.”

Some of the returning players said the Jayhawks would learn from a disappointing end to the season.

“Maybe we could have Please see JAYHAWKS, page 3C

Absence proved Embiid’s worth Maybe Fred Hoiberg was right. Maybe Joel Embiid was the best player in college basketball. Hoiberg seems to be right about a lot of things, such as how to get a team peaking for the postseason.

The coach whose Iowa State Cyclones enter the Sweet 16 riding a six-game winning streak made that statement about Embiid after KU’s 77-70 victory on Jan. 13 in Ames, Iowa. Embiid totaled 16 points, nine rebounds, two assists, five blocked shots and seven turnovers in that one, a great deal of activity for a 7-footer who played 28 minutes and fouled out.

Embiid’s combination of size, agility, footwork, soft touch and shot-blocking abil-

ity enabled him to change the game in so many areas.

Nothing about the way Kansas University played without the 7-footer disputed Hoiberg’s opinion.

In the final six games, after an MRI revealed Embiid to have a stress fracture of the lower back, KU was just another team, not one worthy of a No. 2 seed, even though center Tarik Black

was the team’s best postseason performer. Embiid paired with Black would have been too much for Stanford to handle.

KU went 3-3 after the stress-fracture diagnosis, with victories at home against Texas Tech, in Sprint Center in overtime vs. Oklahoma State and by 11 points against Eastern Kentucky in St. Louis. The losses came at West Virginia, in Sprint Center to Iowa State and in St. Louis to a 10th-seeded Stanford team that demonstrates the slim margin between getting fired and gaining the respect and admiration of the entire university and alumni base.

was told before the season that if he did not get his team to the NCAA Tournament for the first time, he would be replaced. Now, if Dawkins’ team can defeat No. 11 seed Dayton, he will be an Elite Eight coach from an elite university.

With such fine lines defining March, it pays to enjoy the journey, which for KU included a 10th consecutive Big 12 title and three first-year players who in different ways were equally entertaining to watch develop: freshmen Andrew Wiggins and Embiid, and Black, a senior who transferred in from Memphis and did everything in his power to extend KU’s season back to his hometown, site of the South Regional.

AMERICAN FOOTBALL CONFERENCE

Charlotte, N.C. (ap) — Adam Silver says he’s heard the “Bill Gates theory” numerous times from critics over the last month: You shouldn’t be required to attend college to become a millionaire.

But the new NBA commissioner believes basketball players should spend at least two years in college — instead of just the currently required one.

Rockies rough up Royals Scottsdale, Ariz. (ap) — Troy Tulowitzki homered, Franklin Morales struck out seven over five innings in a strong audition for a spot in the Colorado rotation, and the Rockies beat the Kansas City Royals 8-2 Monday.

Tulowitzki wrapped his third homer of spring training around the left field foul pole off former Rockies teammate Jeremy Guthrie in the second.

The three-time All-Star finished 1-for-3 with a sacrifice fly and is hitting .160.

Charlie Culberson added a two-run double in the third.

Guthrie allowed four runs and six hits in five innings.

Morales gave up an unearned run, thanks to his own error, and three hits. The left-hander made a wild pickoff throw to first base that hit the umpire.

But he threw 73 pitches as he tries to beat out Jordan Lyles for the No. 5 spot in the rotation.

“In some of these decisions, it’s not just player-to-player and who won,” Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. “You’ve got to take into consideration the design of the club and how the pieces fit. But he’s made a case for himself.”

Colorado’s Nolan Arenado hit a two-run homer off Spencer Patton in the sixth, two days after getting hit on the left hand by a pitch.

Starting time Royals: Guthrie threw 93 pitches and wasn’t concerned with his 7.04 spring ERA. He’ll throw 60 pitches in his final start before the April 4 home opener.

“I feel like I’ve gotten the arm strength up and feel like I’ve been able to execute some pitches,” he said.

Rockies: With left-hander Boone Logan (elbow) possibly starting the season on the disabled list, Colorado might choose to put Morales in the bullpen.

“How do we align these pieces to take our best shot?” Weiss said. “And that evolves. It’s ever-changing.”

Trainer’s Room Royals: Manager Ned Yost said second baseman Omar Infante (elbow) felt good in a workout and is scheduled to play in a minor league game Tuesday. He’ll play five innings in the field and bat five times.

Silver said the NBA has been waiting for the players’ association to appoint a new head of the union before beginning negotiations on a potential change.

TIGER WOODS LISTENS TO A QUESTION during a news conference Monday at the Newseum in Washington.

Woods: It’s ‘too soon’ to decide on Masters Washington — Tiger Woods is not sure whether his ailing back will allow him to play in the Masters, which is two weeks away.

“For Augusta, it’s actually still a little too soon, to be honest with you,” Woods said Monday at a news conference to announce that Quicken Loans is the new title sponsor of his golf tournament. “That’s kind of the frustrating thing about this.”

The Masters is the only major tournament the 38-year-old Woods has never missed.

Four of his 14 major championships came at Augusta National, including his first in 1997. He last won the green jacket in 2005.

This year’s Masters is April 10-13.

Woods is off to the worst start of his 18 years on tour, and he has been troubled lately by back problems.

He stopped playing in the final round at the Honda Classic on March 2 because of what he called back spasms and pain in his lower back. He tried to defend his title the following week at Doral, only for his back to flare up again in the final round, when he shot a 78, the highest Sunday score of his PGA Tour career and his first closing round without a birdie.

Then last week, Woods withdrew from the Arnold Palmer Invitational because of persistent back pain.

said. “He was disappointed that our experience wasn’t a positive one and that they would do everything possible to evaluate it and try to make sure the experience going forward was adequate.”

NMSU and San Diego State were told before Thursday’s game in Spokane, Wash., that the loser would have to fly home that night. The game started later than scheduled because the North Dakota State-Oklahoma game went into overtime, and then the Aggies and Aztecs went into overtime before San Diego State won.

After Aggies coach Marvin Menzies and the players fulfilled their postgame interview obligations, the team, pep band and cheerleaders went back to the hotel 15 miles east of downtown Spokane and quickly packed while hotel employees prepared 70 box lunches. The Aggies arrived at the airport, which is west of downtown, about 1 a.m. The plane departed about 2:15 a.m. and arrived in El Paso, Texas, around 7 a.m.

Only one bus was waiting. The team and some boosters were bused to Las Cruces, N.M., while everyone else had to wait for the bus to make the 21⁄2-hour round trip to pick them up.

Dayton extends Miller deal

Dayton, Ohio — Dayton basketball coach Archie Miller has received a contract extension through the 2018-19 season.

LHS soccer eyes more ‘W’s’

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Following a one-win season, Lawrence High’s girls soccer players are ready to turn the page.

With the stability of several returning starters, there was a different mentality during the preseason as the Lions try to move past all of their struggles a year ago.

The Lions will face Pembroke Hill in their season opener at 5 p.m. today at LHS. “From Day One, we’ve told the girls that we are

absolutely pushing them and that last year was about building the program and getting girls excited about the program,” second-year coach Justin Young said. “This year is about putting more ‘W’s on the schedule.”

LHS will have a strong defensive core led by senior goalkeeper Alex Ewy, who has signed with Emporia State. Three of the four defenders are returners, highlighted by senior Danielle Campbell.

“That really helps because we know how to play

together and with communication,” Ewy said. “The assistant coach we hired, Matt Anderson, is like a defensive specialist, so that’s really helped us, too, to have someone specifically work with the defense and work on formation. I feel like this year, we’re just hungry for (wins). We’re ready to go out there and be aggressive.”

The Lions will look to senior Addison Campbell to spark the offense, while also relying on Keeli Billings. LHS scored only seven goals in 17 games last year.

“I think our offense is going to be a lot better,” Addison Campbell said.

“I think we’re going to get after the ball a lot more and try to score a lot more goals and have a more offensive game rather than defensive.”

Freshmen midfielders Carson Drake and Skylar Drum are expected to make an impact, along with Micaela Riley and Cortlynn Stark.

“This year we definitely have a lot more girls who after last season decided to commit more time to playing,” Young

Jayhawks

the Champions Classic in Indianapolis; Georgetown in Verizon Center, the home of the Washington Wizards; and Temple in Wells Fargo Center, home of the Philadelphia 76ers.

KU will meet UNLV in Allen Fieldhouse and Utah in KC’s Sprint Center. KU also will play a team from the SEC in Allen in the Big 12/SEC Challenge. The opponent likely will be Florida.

The Jayhawks also will play in the Old Spice Classic with Georgia Tech, Marquette, Michigan State, Rhode Island, Rider, Santa Clara and Tennessee.

“It’s going to be tough to move on. It’ll take a lot to move on. We’ll have to regroup and try to get ready for next year.”

Noted junior guard Naadir Tharpe: “I’m not thinking about anything except we have to wait a whole ’nother year to play again. We could have had a nice run in this. It’s sad it ended this way, so early.”

“This season finished short for us. We didn’t want that to happen,” sophomore Perry Ellis said. “It just hurts knowing we had so much potential and finished short. Next year it is going to be a whole different team.”

As it stands today, the Jayhawks have filled all 13 scholarship slots with one-and-done Andrew Wiggins and senior Black being replaced by center Alexander and shooting guard Oubre, who are currently ranked Nos. 4 and 12 nationally in the recruiting Class of 2014

on the roster having players to look up to and count on, several of KU’s defensive coaches said knowing their personnel better was a huge advantage for them, as well.

“Absolutely,” defensive-backs coach Dave Campo said. “Because when you look at the guys we’ve got, I know the strengths and the weaknesses, and I know what we have to work on to get better. When you’ve got a guy that you’re doing an assessment on, obviously that’s not as easy to do.

There’s a lot more work.”

Less work evaluating means more time to move forward. Bowen said that was the goal this spring but added the entire coaching staff would do its

Despite opening the season only a few days after spring break ended, the Lions are determined to have a good start to the year.

“We’ve improved a lot,” Danielle Campbell said. “It’s hard to tell until the first game, but we’ve improved quite a bit with our focus and technical ability.”

KU football coach Charlie Weis’ Tweet: “Only one team gets to be crowned champions.

“It is a great accomplishment by our team and seniors,” coach Patrick Naughton said. “Our seniors lead the way.

BIG 12 WOMEN

Sims, Baylor clobber Cal The Associated Press

Baylor 75, California 56 Waco, Texas — Odyssey Sims scored 27 points in her final home game, and Baylor advanced to its sixth consecutive regional semifinals, taking over in the second half for a victory over California on Monday night.

Sims punctuated a game-clinching 13-2 run with a long three-pointer with 41⁄2 minutes left.

Baylor coach Kim Mulkey could only smile even though she appeared to be calling for a different play from the sideline.

Sims scored 11 points in that spurt of about five minutes that pushed Baylor (31-4) ahead 66-52.

Afure Jemerigbe had 17 points and Brittany Boyd 15 for Cal (22-10), a Final Four team last season.

Boyd was often gimpy and grimacing in the game, put played all but the final 46 seconds even while dealing with a right ankle injury for several weeks.

Baylor, the No. 2 seed in the Notre Dame Regional, plays Kentucky (26-8) on Saturday in South Bend, Ind. That will be a rematch of the highest-scoring Division I women’s game ever.

The Wildcats won 133-130 in four overtimes the first weekend of December at the Dallas Cowboys’ NFL stadium that will host the men’s Final Four. Sims scored 47 points before being one of seven Lady Bears to foul out of that game.

Sims, the Big 12’s top player also had eight rebounds and six assists for Baylor. Nina Davis, the league’s top freshman, had 13 points and six rebounds.

Niya Johnson had 11 assists.

After the game, the senior trio of Sims, Makenzie Robertson and Mariah Chandler held hands and basically skipped around the arena to share a victory lap while being cheered by the home fans. Baylor lost only two home games during the four seasons for Sims and Robertson, the coach’s daughter who waited her turn before becoming a starter this season.

Oklahoma State 73, Purdue 66 West Lafayette, Ind. — Brittney Martin had 20 points and 20 rebounds to lead Oklahoma State into the Sweet 16.

The Cowgirls (25-8) won their second straight, ending a 15-game stretch in which they had alternated wins and losses.

It’s the first time since 2008 and the third time Oklahoma State has ever reached the regional semifinals. The Cowgirls will face top-seeded Notre Dame on Saturday in South Bend, Ind.
