Shelter stabbing raises concerns

ONE STEP AT A TIME ———

Longtime dance instructor will retire in June after four decades of mentoring

from occurring

n a recent day inside the Lawrence dance studio she founded, Karen Fender was teaching tap dance to a group of 3- to 5-year-old girls.

They intermittently looked interested, then bored. They matched her moves at different rates of success. One girl kept wandering in and out of the room, looking for her mom.

Fender wasn’t fazed. She didn’t get flustered or scold the kids. She continued to teach them as if they were keeping up with her, step for step.

Her steady personality has served her well as a dance instructor for the past four decades. Over that time, she has worked with numerous students, their ages and skill levels varying widely, some of whom went on to be professional dancers or even open their own dance studios.

Kansas GOP divide puts national seats in play for Democrats

By John Hanna Associated Press

Topeka — Kansas’ redistricting experience shows that even when Republicans dominate a state, the outcome is not always preordained.

Republican bickering between tea party conservatives and moderates landed the decision with federal judges, who approved a Kansas election map that gives Democrats

at least a shot at breaking the GOP stranglehold on the state’s four U.S. congressional seats.

Republicans hold a nearly 20-percentage point advantage among registered voters in Kansas. There never was a chance that redistricting would make any of districts Democratic-leaning.

But the map drawn by judges assigned the city of Lawrence, home of Kansas University and often seen

Lawrence attorney, and Democrats believe redistricting helped her significantly. Based on voter registration figures, Jenkins initially fared the worst among the four members of Congress immediately after redistricting. Previously, Lawrence was split between two districts.

Wakefield sees the post-redistricting lines as “reasonable and commonsense,” adding, “It’s much better.”

But more recent trends in voter registration demonstrate the advantages Republicans enjoy in Kansas. GOP registration percentages in the 2nd District are higher now than in mid-2012 when the map was released, and Jenkins believes her chances for re-election are strong because voters remain frustrated with Democratic President Barack Obama.

“I’m happy with my new district — I believe it’s a good fit,” she said. “By and large, it’s a fairly rural and conservative district.”

In the 2010 elections, Republicans swept all statewide and congressional races on the ballot for the first time since 1964 and bulked up their legislative majorities. But the GOP superma-

jority in the state Senate remained divided between moderates and conservatives, preventing the agreement on redistricting issues that marked other Republican-controlled states.

Near the end of the Legislature’s futile 2012 debate on redistricting, lawmakers were considering a proposal to redraw the lines so that the massive Republican-Democratic registration gap in the 1st District of western and central Kansas would get smaller, though it would remain huge. Jenkins

L awrence J ournal -W orld would have benefited, seeing her GOP registration advantage jump a little, from less than 13 percentage points to almost 15.

Instead, the judges drew lines that narrowed the GOP-Democratic registration gap to less than 10 percentage points by uniting Lawrence in the 2nd District. It had been split among the 2nd and 3rd District centered on the Kansas City area, and the change helped 3rd District Rep. Kevin Yoder by a few percentage points.

Fender plans to retire from her business in June, after training her dancers through one final national competition. She recently sold the studio to Grand and Kristen Ryan, of Lawrence. Instructor Tim Flattery, meanwhile, will take over as director.

Fender, who grew up in Kansas City, Mo., started dancing as a toddler. “I didn’t want to quit once I started,” she said.

She began teaching dance while she was a freshman in high school.

She ran a small studio in her parents’ home, instructing mostly neighborhood kids, until her senior year.

After high school, she attended Kansas University, where she studied education, thinking she had a knack for teaching.

the public, current and future guests of the shelter that it is a safe place.”

According to the shelter’s 2013 annual report, 20 percent of guests have diagnosed mental illnesses or substance abuse disorders.

Henderson believes that number is actually higher, because it only counts what people report about themselves.

There also are guests who are fresh out of prison without relatives or friends to stay with, and guests who are physically or mentally disabled. Programs to get people on their feet are key to the shelter’s mission.

“There’s not a place for them to go but shelters,” Henderson said.

“We believe in redemption. We believe in helping people. That’s what we’re here for.”

Checking in There’s only one type of person the shelter automatically turns away at the door — registered sex offenders.

Henderson said the shelter took in sex offenders when it was downtown at 214 W. 10th St. But they’re not allowed anymore because there now are children at the shelter, which added

a family wing when it moved into its new, larger home at 3655 E. 25th St. in late 2012.

The shelter’s intake process seeks to discover more about each new face that arrives, Henderson said, whether the person stays a night or a year.

People who are drunk or high aren’t allowed in the shelter during the day, Henderson said, but they are allowed to come in to sleep at night as long as they behave. Everyone must agree to the shelter’s rules and consequences for not complying — namely, being banned for certain periods of time.

In addition to checking the sex offender registry, shelter staff ask guests to disclose their criminal histories, Henderson said. Often, more of that information comes out later, when case workers do background searches and begin to develop a rapport with guests, he said.

Guests can bring in most any belongings they want as long as they’re not too big, but weapons and drugs are not allowed.

“We usually check,” Henderson said. “We just say, ‘Can we take a look through your stuff,’ and they say, ‘Yes.’”

Old vs. new Mayor Mike Dever said the City Commission has heard fewer complaints about safety or nuisances

“

There’s a heightened awareness of the situation now because of the most recent incident with the unfortunate stabbing.”

— Mike Dever, Lawrence mayor since the shelter moved to the edge of town.

“There’s a heightened awareness of the situation now because of the most recent incident with the unfortunate stabbing,” Dever said.

“But we used to have quite a bit more questions related to safety.”

Disputes between shelter guests plus loitering and cutting through neighbors’ yards led to many police calls at the old downtown location, Dever said.

He said complaints spurred the creation of the shelter’s management plan, a document the commission required for extension of the shelter’s specialuse permit. In 2013, 14 percent of the shelter’s operating revenue came from the city, according to the shelter’s annual report.

“It seems as though the problem which was rising to a major concern, has been reduced to one that is manageable and probably taken care of by the profes-

sional staff at the shelter,” Dever said.

Lawrence police do not have a formal role in shelter policies or management, said Sgt. Trent McKinley, department spokesman.

He said shelter staff has been good to work with, whether when responding to calls or serving warrants to guests.

“They’ve always been very forthcoming in helping us locate people,” McKinley said.

Henderson said a case manager at the shelter also serves as its security guard during the day. He is unarmed but “big, bulky and strong,” Henderson said, and he’s very good at dealing with the population to de-escalate situations.

The shelter also has security cameras all over, inside and out.

“We know what’s going on here,” Henderson said.

Two violent crimes There was another stabbing at the shelter in 2008.

The then-19-year-old suspect, Adam Mallamo, was charged with attempted second-degree murder and later pleaded guilty to aggravated battery. He was accused of stabbing a shelter guest in the chest with a knife.

The new shelter’s kitchen manager, 46-year-old Robert Shaner, is at home recover-

ing after being stabbed in the throat with one of the shelter’s kitchen knives on March 13 in the dining hall.

Christopher Jamond George McKay, 21, has been charged with attempted first-degree murder. McKay has not been incarcerated for violent crimes in Kansas or Missouri, according to a search of records from those states.

Shaner counts himself lucky to be alive.

He said he cares about the shelter, where he initially stayed as a guest after serving prison time for drug convictions. After being hired as the kitchen manager last year, Shaner got his own place.

He expects to be physically ready to work within weeks but said he is looking for other employment because returning triggers post-traumatic stress and extreme anxiety.

Shaner said he believes the man who stabbed him was mentally disturbed and that the shelter should have done more to get him help. Shaner said if he were to return to work he wants to verify that all safety policies are being followed as they should be.

“I can’t bear to go look in the kitchen or the dining room,” Shaner said.

KU biologist says ethanol mandate, climate behind monarch decline

By Caitlin Doornbos cvdoornbos@ljworld.com

When filling up at the gas station with ethanol, drivers may think they’re helping the environment.

Orley “Chip” Taylor, biologist and director of Kansas University’s Monarch Watch, disagrees.

In 2007, the Energy In-

dependence and Security Act set a national goal of producing 36 billion gallons of renewable fuels such as ethanol by 2022, causing corn and soybean production to soar and farmers to turn wild prairie into cropland. In the process, Taylor said, Please see MONARCH, page 4A

Taylor said 2013 was not much better.

“It was just too cold to move north, so butterflies arrived late to the breeding areas,” Taylor said.

“Then it rained when they arrived, and it’s hard for butterflies to get out there and be sexy and lay eggs in the rain.”

While we can’t control the weather, Taylor said, people can ease the monarch’s decline by restoring habitats

and planting milkweed.

To help, Taylor’s Monarch Watch on KU’s West Campus partnered with Applied Ecological Services of Baldwin City to produce 25,000 milkweed pods to distribute last year. The group is already taking orders and plans to distribute 45,000 to 60,000 milkweed pods this year.

Additionally, a few individuals offered to provide money to sponsor milkweed pods for schools and nonprofit organizations. Each school or nonprofit selected will receive a free flat holding 323 of the plants.

Kansans’ electric rates by 40 percent.

That produced loud groans from supporters of the standards, and an angry rebuke from Rhoades who said he didn’t appreciate being interrupted while he spoke.

Supporters of the renewable standards point to a state report that says the mandate has increased rates by twofifths of one cent.

The measure to repeal the standards was defeated.

“Most general dentists don’t recommend visits until a child is 4. But we think that is too late,” Branstrom said. “We already know this population is at risk for dental decay, and the prevention piece is very important.

“It’s basically the pollinators that keep the ecosystem alive,” Taylor said. “It’s foolish to simply ruin this support base that supports us.”

While the destruction of habitats has contributed to the monarch’s dramatic decrease, it’s not all because of ethanol. A recent New York Times article in which Taylor was quoted attributed the butterfly’s decline to climate change. Taylor said monarch migration is dependent on temperature.

“2012 was an extraordinarily hot year, which made the monarchs develop really fast,” Taylor said. “They moved too far

“

Without this program, we would be seeing far fewer kids for routine care, and we would see more cavities.”

— Julie Branstrom, executive director of the Douglas County Dental Clinic

tal clinic, remembers too well how severe the children’s dental problems were when he began doing outreach in the community nine years ago, urging low-income parents to participate in ABCD. “There were rampant problems with decay. I remember kids that had 18 out of their 20 baby teeth that were rotten and had to be extracted, or they had to get root canals and crowns. It used to be bad,” recounted Munoz, who works primarily

with the clinic’s Spanish speaking population, which represents about 12 percent of the patients in the ABCD program, he estimated.

Munoz chalks up nightmare stories like those to some parents’ lack of knowledge about the causes of tooth decay, like putting a baby to bed with a bottle, and lack of access to affordable preventive dental care.

In addition to disseminating information on oral health care

Leonard Pitts, Jr and Abortion On March 20, 2014, in one of his most provocative efforts syndicated columnist Leonard Pitts Jr. discusses child abuse and abortion. He laments our heated discussions "over children who are not yet born" while sometimes tolerating the naked abuse of "children who are already here". Mr. Pitts distinguishes between unborn children and "children who are already here" because he doesn't feel the unborn child is alive. Mr Pitts is an exciting columnist who supports abortion, but he may change his mind upon learning that life begins at conception, thus each successful abortion brings the unborn victim a painful death.

Today, Munoz is amazed at the difference in the oral health of children who have been involved in ABCD for a few years. “We have a significant population that started out in the ABCD program and stayed with us. The parents are thankful they can get preventive care,” he said. “And seeing the kids come in, they all have great smiles, and it gives them confidence.

They appreciate it.”

BRIEFLY 1 hospitalized after roll-over accident

Grass fire burns 1,500 acres

A Topeka woman was taken to Stormont Vail Health Care early Sunday morning after a one-vehicle accident on U.S. Highway 56 in Baldwin City.

According to the Kansas Highway Patrol, 31-yearold Matthew D. Zajic, of Vassar, was driving eastbound in the 900 block of Highway 56 at about 1:45 a.m. Sunday when he drove off the north side of the highway into the ditch.

The vehicle, a 2003 Nissan Altima, rolled over and landed on its wheels.

The front-seat passenger, 29-year-old Amanda Laurel Goodnow, of Topeka, was ejected.

When officers arrived, they discovered Goodnow lying beside the vehicle.

Goodnow was transported by ambulance to Stormont Vail Health Care in Topeka. Her condition was unavailable Sunday.

According to Highway Patrol, neither Zajic nor Goodnow were wearing seat belts at the time of the accident.

Topeka — Authorities say a grass fire over about 1,500 acres in northeast Kansas damaged two homes and four outbuildings. No injuries were reported.

Shawnee County Sheriff Herman Jones told The Topeka Capital-Journal it’s unclear what started the fire Sunday. Fire crews from throughout the city and surrounding area fought the fire through strong winds and dry conditions.

The fire was relatively under control by midafternoon.

The National Weather Service also warned of fire conditions in Kansas on Sunday because of temperatures in the 70s, very low humidity and winds in excess of 25 miles per hour.

Man still hospitalized after tollbooth crash Kansas University Hospital on Sunday was unable to provide an update on the condition of a Colorado man who was airlifted from a one-vehicle accident at a Kansas Turnpike tollbooth early Saturday morning.

Roman Ilyaich, 25, of Aurora, Colo., was in critical condition after the tractor-trailer he was a passenger of crashed into the tollbooths on westbound Interstate 70 near Tonganoxie.

The driver, Sergiy Angelchev, 30, of Aurora, Colo., died at the scene of the crash, which occurred before 3 a.m.

Wichita immigration mural vandalized Wichita — Volunteers have removed two swastikas that were spray-painted onto a Wichita mural that celebrates immigration.

On Saturday, volunteers scrubbed off the two swastikas that had been sprayed in black paint onto the mural.

The mural, which was painted by a group of high school students on the side of a store, depicts two people wrapped in flags, one an American and one Mexican. The mural reads: “Immigration is beautiful.”

In early February, vandals also spray-painted the words “KKK,” ‘‘welfare” and slurs against people from Mexico on the mural. Volunteers removed that graffiti, too, and added a clear coat, which made the latest vandalism easier to remove.

Security cameras have also been installed to catch any future vandalism.

School funding solution proves elusive

By John Milburn Associated Press

Topeka — It would seem a simple task. Write a check for $129 million and satisfy a Kansas Supreme Court ruling regarding the constitutionality of school funding.

But the process is proving difficult as legislators dive into the 20-year-old school finance formula, scanning about to look at various aspects of how $3 billion in state aid is distributed and whether the money is producing the desired results.

Gov. Sam Brownback hasn’t put forth a specific funding plan but has issued a set of principles he wants legislators to follow in drafting their solution. He also wants them to get it done by Friday, the day legislators leave for a three-week recess.

“That’s what I’m pushing to get done,” he said.

“Let’s see what component parts need to happen to get that past the Legislature. I think there are

some parts in here that people are saying will be helpful to get the overall bill passed. I’m open to those items.”

Brownback added he was concerned how any formula changes would be viewed by the court and generate more legal uncertainty.

House Minority Leader Paul Davis, who is seeking the Democ r a t i c nomination for governor, has proposed just writing a check, Davis using the state’s revenue surpluses to cover the cost. The Lawrence attorney said the governor can and should take more of a leadership role and stop Republicans from tinkering with the formula.

“Now is not the time to be messing around with this. This is the time for

the governor to show some leadership and tell them to knock off the games,” Davis said. “This is not difficult.”

The March 7 ruling found flaws with two funds that equalize aid to poorer school districts and gave legislators until July to make the changes.

But as Attorney General Derek Schmidt has opined, the state has options and that has sent legislators diving into the weeds of the decades-old formula for loose change.

Senators are looking at two plans, one from GOP leaders and one from Senate Ways and Means Committee Chairman Ty Masterson. The Andover Republican is considering tweaking how the state calculates funding for at-risk students, citing audits that show the state may be overpaying for the additional services by as much as 14 percent.

“What I’m really trying to get at is ... something that really defines who that at-risk kid is,” Mas-

terson said. “The goal is to get him the services through the district to the kid.”

The House Appropriations Committee is considering a GOP leadership bill that proposes changes to the way the state calculates transportation aid for local districts. A legislative audit in 2006 determined that a flaw in the math, dating to a 1973 formula still in use, overpaid districts by as much as $16 million annually for the cost of transporting students.

The change would affect every district by reducing their reimbursement, as much as $1.1 million in Wichita and more than $426,000 in the Johnson County district of Blue Valley.

Chairman Marc Rhoades, a Newton Republican, said more hearings would be held Monday for legislators to hear more about the impact.

He said there would likely be more changes to the plan.

State extends testing amid computer problems Topeka (ap) — Kansas education officials have extended this year’s testing period for students because of persistent computer glitches with state tests.

School districts statewide have reported technical problems with the March rollout of new state assessment tests.

Delays have raised concerns that some schools would not complete the tests within the allotted time period.

But because of the computer problems, the

schools now have until May 16 to complete state reading, math and science assessments, which is two weeks later than originally planned, T h e Wichita Eagle reported.

“While we know SCHOOLS t h e r e have been delays that have caused some hairpulling moments ... each issue identified is bringing us one step closer to

delivering one of the best assessments in the country,” Brad Neuenswander, deputy education commissioner, said in a statement Thursday to districts and test coordinators.

Neuenswander said the University of Kansas’ Center for Educational Testing and Evaluation, which developed the tests, is “continuing to address any issues ... with the testing platform.”

About 58,000 assessment units were completed Wednesday, he said, compared with 23,000

the first week of testing.

“We are making steady progress,” he said.

The State Board of Education also decided earlier this month that all public schools in Kansas will remain accredited next year, regardless of how they perform on the tests. And, officials have said the tests are being viewed as a trial run for a new type of test that reflects Common Core state standards, and it’s not a problem if some schools or students don’t complete this year’s tests.

The 31-year-old singer-songwriter comes to downtown on the verge of super stardom. Her selftitled fourth album dropped a month ago to insane critical acclaim, including Best New Music honors from Pitchfork, which dubbed the project “bold and almost jarringly confident.”

In another weird twist of fate, Clark this tour finds herself skipping over Kansas City and landing here, where there are still, frankly, an alarming number of tickets available for her show, all in the $30 to $40 range.

IN THIS MARCH 20 PHOTO, EQUIPMENT IS PARKED AT A GAS WELL DRILLING SITE IN PULASKI, PA. Hilcorp, the gas drilling company that is working on the well, has asked state officials to invoke a 1961 law in the rural area and allow wells to be drilled under the property of four landowners who haven’t signed leases.

Pa. community fights over forced gas drilling “

By Kevin Begos and Marc Levy

Associated Press

New Bedford, Pa. — An energy company is dusting off an old, unused state law that can force property owners to accept oil and gas drilling under their land, pitting neighbor against neighbor in a Pennsylvania community and raising the possibility that lawmakers will have to take sides.

Houston-based Hilcorp seeks to use a 1961 Pennsylvania law to drill under the property of four holdout landowners in New Bedford, near the Ohio border an hour north of Pittsburgh.

The concept, known as “forced pooling,” means

I don’t understand how people that own 4 acres of ground can hold up such a big thing. I don’t agree with that.”

— Bruce Clingan, homeowner near Hilcorp drilling site

that people who don’t sign leases get bundled in with those who do, to make drilling more efficient and compensate all the landowners.

The stakes are high.

Property owners can reap royalties totaling hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars from drilling in the Utica Shale formation, which lies below the better-known Marcellus Shale.

Suzanne Matteo, one of the four who has re-

fused to sign a lease, said she is furious that the company may be able to drill under her property without her permission.

“It’s un-American,” she said.

On the other side are many neighbors who have signed leases, such as Bruce Clingan, who owns the roughly 200acre Tanglewood Golf Course with his wife, Jody. They signed a lease with Hilcorp a few years ago and received a signing bonus of more

than $500,000, plus 18 percent royalties on future production.

“I don’t understand how people that own 4 acres of ground can hold up such a big thing.

I don’t agree with that,” Clingan said.

Hilcorp said that 99 percent of the property owners in the 3,267acre tract have signed leases, and that drilling would occur a mile or more under the surface of the holdout’s property. Invoking the old law, the company said, would ensure that “all participants, leased or unleased, are compensated for the minerals they own.”

With new technology, a well can be drilled down and then turned

BRIEFLY

sideways, and the socalled extensions run for a mile or more away from the drill site. Some of those extensions are what Hilcorp wants to send under Matteo’s property, but the company hasn’t said exactly where wells would be located.

Matteo said she’s resigned to drilling in the area, since her neighbors have signed leases. But she’s concerned about possible pollution and effects on property values, and so is refusing to sign “on principle.”

The whole battle also has a political edge, since the state Department of Environmental Protection will make the final ruling on whether to approve the request.

‘Noah’ rises to the top of the box office Los Angeles — After weathering a sea of controversy, “Noah” arrived in first place at the weekend box office.

Paramount’s biblical epic starring Russell Crowe in the titular role opened with $44 million, according to studio estimates Sunday.

Lionsgate’s teen sciencefiction thriller “Divergent” starring Shailene Woodley earned $26.5 million in its second weekend.

Disney’s globe-trotting Muppet sequel “Muppets Most Wanted” featuring Tina Fey and Ricky Gervais came in third place with $11.4 million in its second weekend.

Opposition grows against proposed family fun center Minigolf, minibowling, many concerns, it appears. As we’ve reported multiple times, plans have been filed for a “family fun center” on vacant ground near the southeast corner of Clinton Parkway and Inverness Drive in west Lawrence.

When we last reported on the project in February, it was scheduled to receive a key vote at the Lawrence-Doulgas County Planning Commission that evening. It didn’t.

Instead, it got deferred until March’s meeting, which took place last week. But again, no vote for the fun center. The issue was deferred before the meeting ever began.

I’ve gotten a message in to the architect for the project to find out if the development group still plans to pursue the project. I haven’t received any word back on that.

(I also don’t have a clear understanding of who the development group is behind the project.)

What is clear is that an organized opposition effort to the fun center

local development group to build rent-controlled housing near the northwest corner of 23rd Street and O’Connell Road.

But Housing Authority board members met last week, and it appears the group is no closer to figuring out a way to fully finance the project, which would be geared toward providing housing for low-to-moderate income working families.

“I don’t really see us getting anything done in 2014,” Shannon Oury, the executive director of the Housing Authority, told me. “Maybe we would figure out financing in 2014, but we probably wouldn’t start building until 2015.”

Oury said the Housing Authority and its partner — a development group led by Lawrence businessman Bill Newsome — have redesigned the project. It now has 72 units, down from 128.

That has cut the size of the project to about $8.8 million, down from about $15 million previously.

But Oury said the project still has a gap of about $1.5 million that needs to be financed.

U.S. expands commitment in Syria

EDITORIALS

Raffle laws Even Kansans opposed to expanded gambling probably will be sympathetic to a constitutional amendment legalizing nonprofit raffles.

I

t seems a little hypocritical that the only entity in Kansas that legally can have a gambling operation is the state government.

Although the Kansas Constitution bans all forms of lotteries, a 1986 amendment makes an exception for the state’s lottery and state-owned casinos — but no one else.

In November, Kansas voters will have an opportunity to remedy that situation when they consider a constitutional amendment that would allow nonprofit religious, fraternal, educational and veterans groups to operate raffles. The measure is needed because the constitutional ban on lotteries has been interpreted to include any situation in which people pay money to get a random chance to win a prize.

Kansas organizations have figured out ways to get around this ban by asking for donations rather than payment for a raffle ticket, but they supposedly weren’t entitled to link the two and would technically have to let anyone be eligible to win a prize, whether or not they made a donation. It’s a technicality that can catch groups if they aren’t careful.

It’s the same provision that drew attention recently to U.S. Rep. Tim Huelskamp. R-Kan., who sent an email seeking campaign contributions in exchange for a chance to win tickets to the NCAA men’s basketball tournament. However, the constitutional amendment that voters will consider applies only to nonprofit groups and a political campaign effort like Huelskamp’s presumably couldn’t meet that standard.

Contests that look a lot like raffles are a staple for many nonprofit organizations seeking to raise money for many good causes. A constitutional amendment that would make it easier for those groups to use this fund-raising tool likely will be positively viewed across the state.

Washington — The Obama administration, stung by reversals in Ukraine and Syria, appears to have decided to expand its covert program of training and assistance for the Syrian opposition, deepening U.S. involvement in that brutal and stalemated civil war.

The White House announced that President Obama discussed “the crisis in Syria” along with other subjects when he met Friday in Riyadh with Saudi King Abdullah, but the statement didn’t mention any details of the stepped-up Syria assistance program.

Expanded U.S. aid for the rebels would strengthen America’s links with Saudi Arabia after a period of noisy disagreement about Syria policy. But it also would complicate already tense relations with Russia and Iran, the two key backers of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

Obama appears more comfortable with a covert approach than with direct military intervention, as in Iraq and Afghanistan. Another selling point is that the enhanced aid program would have a counterterrorism focus. The United States would help train Free Syrian Army fighters to combat alQaida extremists, even as the rebels launch guerrilla attacks against Assad’s army.

Critics argue that an expanded training and assistance program, first recommended by Obama’s top advisers in mid-2012, is long overdue — and that delays have allowed extremists and

Assad’s forces to brutalize Syria. But Obama has been cautious about descending what he sees as a slippery slope. So far, despite pledges of support for the opposition, he has authorized only a limited program of covert training and mostly nonlethal assistance. He also recognizes the checkered history of such covert efforts, from the Bay of Pigs in Cuba to Nicaragua.

Details of the plan were still being debated this past week, but its likely outlines were described by knowledgeable officials: l Syrian opposition forces would be trained in camps in Jordan, northern Saudi Arabia and Qatar. The number of Syrian opposition fighters who would receive training would roughly double, to about 600 per month.

l The CIA would oversee training, expanding the program that it currently manages. The administration is still discussing whether U.S. Special Operations forces and other military personnel should play a role. Syrian rebels have argued that Special Operations trainers would provide better help, without the CIA’s political baggage. l The rebels have been pleading for two years for anti-aircraft missiles to stop Assad’s air force, but Saudi Arabia wants U.S. permission before delivering them.

To reassure the United States, the opposition has proposed tight controls on these weapons, known as MANPADS. Only five missile launchers would initially be furnished. Each use of them is to be videoed, and each would be fitted with a tracking device and a remote shutdown mechanism.

On the eve of Obama’s trip to Saudi Arabia, the administration still appeared to be weighing the issue. l Vetting of opposition forces would continue during and after the training.

Recruits with extremist links supposedly would be weeded out as trainers learned their backgrounds. Saudi Arabia has agreed to exclude any fighters who have worked with three jihadist groups: Ahrar al-Sham, Jabhat alNusra, and the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. l The sometimes fractious “friends” of the Syrian opposition would, in theory,

Breaking bread with the ‘other’ side

be united behind this program. Qatar, which in the past funneled aid to organizations known as the Islamic Front — support that later made its way to al-Qaida extremists — has agreed to halt this assistance. l To stabilize what is today a badly fragmented Syria, the program would provide assistance for local councils and police in areas that have been cleared of Assad’s forces. The opposition has also requested specialized training to maintain border security. Finally, the program may seek to establish corridors for delivery of humanitarian assistance, though it is unclear how aggressively the United States and its allies would be prepared to protect these humanitarian zones.

The expanded program would “send a clear message to the Assad regime that there is no military solution to the struggle,” according to a memo this month to the White House from the opposition. Assad “has no incentive to talk” now, the memo argued, because he thinks he is winning.

The rationale, bluntly stated, is that to reach an eventual diplomatic settlement in Syria, it is necessary now to escalate the conflict militarily. This has been a hard pill for Obama to swallow, but prodded by the Saudis, he may have reached that point.

The pull of the extreme ends of our political spectrum in recent years, particularly from the right, has widened the divide that our political discourse must cross. Anthropogenic climate change, a given for many of us, with approximately 97 percent of climate scientists agreeing it exists based on decades of research, is portrayed by some on the far right as alarmism resulting from faulty computer models. Such vastly different views are common across many issues. And we often vilify the other side, whether that’s depicting the governor in cartoon image with flames in the background or the governor himself equating Harmon abortion with slavery.

How did the divide grow this large?

In a recent article in The Atlantic, Avi Tuschman, a political anthropologist, discusses how increases over the second half of the 20th century in both higher education (which tend to increase the degree of one’s political leanings) and geographic/social mobility have lead to increased sorting of our populations into communities of like-minded individuals.

This is further driven through mate selection, as birds of a feather with similar world views tend to flock together, one of the strongest correlations between spouses being political orientation. Nor do we have to expose ourselves to contradictory viewpoints with the explosion in mass media over the last quarter century.

The end result for Kansas, histori-

YOUR TURN cally on the conservative end of the spectrum, is an even redder state on average than, say, 25 years ago, with more politically segregated communities. And this mirrors the national level picture. According to political scientist Gary Jacobson, in the 1980s approximately 25 percent of voters split their vote between the president and the legislature, but by 2012 that split had decreased to 11 percent.

Overlay this historical trajectory with evolutionary theorists’ understanding that uniformity among group members and high levels of cooperation are two of the hallmarks of successful groups, whatever. For humans, our social/cultural norms (including political orientations) act as a kind of “glue,” binding together unrelated individuals within larger groups. This increases behavioral uniformity and helps facilitate cooperation.

Ties among group members are further strengthened by limiting interactions with outsiders, demonizing the “other” and minimizing exposure to media with competing views. This isolates group members from influences that compete with the group’s dominant world view. However it also makes working with competing groups more difficult, as demonstrated by congress and many of our state legislatures, Kansas included.

While a simplistic analysis, the basic point is valid. Limiting oneself to information and interactions that only serve to reinforce one’s world view may be beneficial to the larger political group you’re a part of in terms of unity and uniformity, but it may also reinforce and

propagate untruths that are detrimental to everyone over the long term. Compromise becomes a dirty word and the dominant political group is justified in running roughshod over minority groups.

So how do we create a more civil political discourse that relies primarily on data and logic and less on demonization or simple assertion? The Village Square, a Tallahassee, Fla.,based organization with a forthcoming Kansas City operation, may have part of the answer. This self-described “nervy bunch of liberals and conservatives” promotes civil discourse to build collective solutions for our interwoven futures. One of the most basic elements of their model is sitting down and breaking bread together.

The act of sharing a meal is a core element of the human experience. A degree of intimacy develops, particularly after several meals as we share more than just food and drink. It becomes difficult to demonize those sitting across from you after hearing their joys, concerns, fears and hopes, many of which we all relate to. Once discussions with your meal companions expand to more contentious issues it becomes harder to rely on politically based dogma, as the beginnings of real debate ensue.

There’s obviously more to it than this, and I encourage readers to review their model. But perhaps both houses should adopt a joint rule requiring legislators have periodic meals with someone across the aisle. Even if the meals aren’t balanced, perhaps our governing may head in that direction.

San Jose, Calif. —The two warring titans of the smartphone and tablet industry will be back in federal court this week, squaring off in another trial involving Apple’s claims that Samsung’s smartphones and tablets continue to trample on the patented features of the iPhone and iPad. The case will begin with jury selection, and the legal teams for the two companies are expected to make their opening statements on Tuesday.

With billions of dollars at stake, as well as bragging rights to technology that has transformed everyday life, legal experts and market watchers expect close attention on the trial, albeit perhaps with less zeal than the first showdown between them in 2012. That first round went to Apple, which secured a jury verdict finding that Samsung violated its patents on older lines of devices and owed nearly $1 billion in damages.

The second trial centers on Apple’s claims that more recent lines of Samsung products, such as the Galaxy S3 and the Galaxy Tab 2, violate five of Apple’s patents, including the Siri voice and slide-tounlock features.

Ukraine talks fail to resolve deadlock Paris — The United States and Russia agreed Sunday that the crisis in Ukraine requires a diplomatic resolution, but four hours of talks between U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov failed to break a tense East-West deadlock over how to proceed.

Sitting face-to-face but not seeing eye-to-eye on any of the most critical issues, Kerry and Lavrov advanced far-different proposals on how to calm tensions and de-escalate the situation, particularly as Russia continues to mass troops along its border with the former Soviet republic. As he called for Moscow to begin an immediate pullback of the troops, Kerry also ruled out discussion of Russia’s demand for Ukraine to become a loose federation until-and-unless Ukrainians are at the table.

U.S. officials said Kerry proposed a number of ideas on troop withdrawals from the border and that Lavrov, while making no promises, told him he would present the proposals to the Kremlin.

Tucson, Ariz. — Several hundred Arizona fans and Tucson police clashed in the streets late Saturday following the University of Arizona basketball team’s loss to Wisconsin in the NCAA tournament.

Authorities said 15 people were arrested after fans hurled beer bottles and firecrackers at officers, who then used pepper spray to disperse the crowd. No officers were hurt, but three people who were arrested had minor injuries in the unrest that lasted more than an hour, police said.

Meanwhile, officials at the University of Arizona vowed to punish any students who participated.

The clash began after crowds leaving bars and restaurants near campus filled University Boulevard after the game, Tucson police Sgt. Pete Dugan said. He said officers fired pepper spray, pepper canisters and pepper balls to try to get people to leave the business-lined thoroughfare.

Earlier Saturday, Arizona lost 64-63 to Wisconsin

Perth, Australia — Despite what Australia called an “intensifying search effort,” an international hunt Sunday by aircraft and ships in the southern Indian Ocean found no debris linked to the Malaysian jet that vanished more than three weeks ago.

Nine aircraft and eight ships searching the waters off western Australia found only “fishing equipment and other flotsam” not connected to the Malaysia Airlines plane, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority said. The Boeing 777 disappeared March 8 while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people aboard.

But at least four orange objects that were more than 6 feet in size were seen by the crew of an Australian P3 Orion search plane, said the pilot, Flight Lt. Russell Adams, after returning to base.

The planes and ships are scouring a search zone that was redefined Friday based on satellite data from the Boeing 777, but they have found no

L ondon — British actress Kate O’Mara, best known for her role in the 1980s soap opera “Dynasty,” died Sunday at the age of 74, her agent said.

Phil Belfield said O’Mara died in a nursing home in southern England after a short illness.

The actress, who began her television career in the 1960s, became a household name for playing Cassandra “Caress” Morrell, sister to Joan Collins’ Alexis Colby, in “Dynasty.”

In Britain she is often remembered for her role in “Triangle” — a soap opera set aboard a North Sea ferry that is often cited as the worst piece of British television.

She also appeared in the original run of British series “Doctor Who” and BBC drama “Howards’ Way.” In the 1990s she starred in the comedy show “Absolutely Fabulous” with Joanna Lumley.

O’Mara is survived by her sister, actress Belinda Carroll.

New York — Sen. Charles Schumer stood by the World Trade Center on Sunday, demanding that federal officials review security after daredevils twice sneaked to the top of the site’s signature 104-story skyscraper.

Schumer’s request comes after a teenager was charged with climbing to the top of the 1,776foot spire of 1 World Trade Center, three skydiving enthusiasts turned themselves in to face charges in a September jump off the building, and a newspaper published a photo of a guard apparently sleeping on the job.

The New York Democrat wants the Department of Homeland Security to monitor the performance and training of trade center security guards, in addition to testing surveillance equipment and checking the perimeter for possible illegal entry points.

Schumer said the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which owns the 16-acre site, is responsible for any security breaches.

In a pair of statements Sunday, Port Authority security chief Joseph Dunne called the lapses “unacceptable” and invited Homeland Security officials to tour the site again “in light of recent security breaches.”

Done deal: Wiggins to declare for NBA today

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University freshman basketball guard Andrew Wiggins will hold a news conference at 2 p.m. today, at which he will announce his intentions to enter the 2014 NBA Draft.

KU freshman Joel Embiid, who like Wiggins is ex-

pected to be taken in the top three of the draft, will not be part of this news conference.

Wiggins has long acknowledged he’s a oneand-done college player.

Nothing has changed entering this news conference, sources said Sunday night.

The 6-foot-8 guard from Ontario, Canada, addressed

his emotions after his last home game as a Jayhawk, KU’s 82-57 Senior Night victory over Texas Tech, “I am happy, yet sad it is my last game,” Wiggins said after scoring nine points with four boards in 23 minutes. “I’m thankful for everything. I’ve been blessed with a good team, great coaches and the best

fans anyone could ever ask for.”

Wiggins, who averaged 17.1 points and 5.9 rebounds for the 25-10 Jayhawks, recently rated his one-and-done season a “10” on a scale of 1-10.

“It did,” he said of his year in Lawrence exceeding his expectations. “(There’s) nothing like college, sharing

moments with your brothers you’ll never experience again.”

Wiggins never wavered in his decision to play college basketball one season only.

“I would say just being able to enjoy my last year of school,” Wiggins said in Andrew WigNovember to ESPN when gins has a news conference at Please see WIGGINS, page 3B 2 p.m. today

Salvage job

KU avoids sweep

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

On a day when the offense was outhit and the defense committed the only two errors of the game, Kansas University capitalized on a couple of Oklahoma State miscues in the bottom of the ninth inning to pick up a Big 12 softball series sweep with a 2-1, extra-inning victory Sunday at Arrocha Ballpark.

The wild victory staked the Jayhawks (27-10 overall, 3-0 Big 12) to their secondbest conference start since 2007 and also made it seven conference victories in a row dating to the end of the 2013 season. That streak is KU’s second-best of alltime.

“This conference is wideopen,” said winning pitcher Kelsey Kessler (16-7), who fanned 13. “And we want to make that statement that we’re a tough team to beat.”

Sunday’s win followed the same pattern as the two that came before it during a hard-fought, low-scoring weekend that featured two of the premier pitchers in the Big 12.

Neither team scored until the fifth inning, when KU freshman left fielder Taylor McElhaney crossed home on an RBI single from Saturday’s hero, shortstop Chaley Brickey.

It looked like that lone run might be enough, but OSU rallied to tie the game in the top of the sixth off an RBI double from center fielder Shelby Davis. Davis’ gapper nearly drove home a pair of runs, but OSU shortstop Gessenia DeLaCruz was tagged out at home after missing the plate on her initial slide. Despite being tagged out, DeLaCruz was allowed to go back to third because of an obstruction call during her trip home.

The events led to protests and questions from both dugouts, but Kessler stranded DeLaCruz at third, which set the stage for KU’s second extra-inning game in three days.

KANSAS’ JUSTIN PROTACIO, LEFT, AND TUCKER THARP CELEBRATE THARP’S RUN during KU’s 4-3 victory over Oklahoma on Sunday at Hoglund Ballpark.

It hadn’t been a good weekend for Kansas University junior Dakota Smith.

He only had one hit in his previous 12 at-bats against the University of Oklahoma when he came up to the plate in the bottom of the ninth inning Sunday afternoon with the score tied, two outs and the winning run on second base.

Smith finally changed his fortune when he drilled a fastball over the head of a diving left fielder for a walkoff double, scoring Justin Protacio and providing the heroics for the Jayhawks, as they avoided getting swept with a 4-3 victory at Hoglund Ballpark in front of a crowd of 1,178.

“That was pretty special,” KU coach Ritch Price said.

“Especially as tough of a day as Dakota had at the plate today and all series. It was good to see him clutch up with the game on the line.”

Protacio drew a one-out walk, and freshman Joven Afenir followed with an infield single. After Michael Suiter struck out, Smith, a 5-foot-10 designated hitter, hit the 2-2 pitch and was mobbed behind second base.

After a brutal winter of artic blasts and blustery snowstorms, baseball is ready to heat up today with its first full slate of games this season.

David Ortiz and the World Series champion Boston Red Sox begin their title defense in Baltimore against home run king Chris Davis and the AL East rival Orioles. Robinson Cano makes his Seattle Mariners debut, looking to live up to a huge contract — just like Miguel Cabrera and Mike Trout.

Behind the scenes, umpires at all six replay stations in New York will be at the ready for the first time in baseball history.

“We recognize fully that last year is behind us, and everyone is looking forward to (today) and beyond,” Red Sox manager John Farrell said.

The start of Derek Jeter’s retirement tour will wait one more day. The New York Yankees, with baseball’s oldest roster, will face the youngest on Tuesday night in Houston.

PGA Tour: Texas Open San Antonio — Steven Bowditch held on to win the Texas Open in windy conditions Sunday for his first PGA Tour victory and a spot in the Masters.

The 30-year-old Australian bogeyed the par-5 18th for a 4-over 76 for a one-stroke victory.

“I’m over the moon. I really can’t believe it,” said Bowditch, who attempted suicide in 2006 and has fought depression throughout his career.

It was the highest closing score by a winner since Vijay Singh finished with a 4-over 76 in the 2004 PGA Championship, and the highest in a nonmajor since Fred Couples had a 5-over 77 in the 1983 Kemper Open.

Bowditch finished at 8-under 280 at TPC San Antonio and earned $1,116,000.

Bowditch, based in Dallas, entered the week 339th in the world and had only two top-10 finishes in eight years on the tour. He won once on the Australasian circuit and twice on the Web.Com Tour.

Will MacKenzie and Daniel Summerhays tied for second.

MacKenzie shot 70, and Summerhays had a 71.

LPGA Tour: Kia Classic Carlsbad, Calif. — Anna Nordqvist rallied to win the Kia Classic at Aviara for her second victory in her last four LPGA Tour starts.

Two strokes behind leaders Cristie Kerr and Lizette Salas entering the round, Nordqvist closed with her second straight 5-under 67 for a one-stroke victory over Salas.

Nordqvist won the LPGA Thailand last month to end a five-year victory drought, holding off top-ranked Inbee Park. The 26-year-old Swede also won the LPGA Championship and LPGA Tour Championship in 2009.

Web.com: Louisiana Open Broussard, La. — Kris Blanks won the Louisiana Open for his second career Web.com Tour title, closing a 9-under 62 and beating Brett Stegmaier with a 10-foot birdie putt on the third hole of a playoff.

NOVAK DJOKOVIC SHOWS OFF HIS TROPHY after beating Rafeal Nadal in the Sony Open, Sunday in Key Biscayne, Fla. Johnson, with eight wins in 25 career starts on the 0.526-mile oval, led 11 times for 296 laps. He seemed on his way to another when he took the lead from Busch with 17 laps remaining. But Busch stayed close, ducked underneath Johnson seven laps later and Johnson never made a good run at the lead again.

Busch’s 25th career victory ended a winless streak that had reached 83.

The race featured an event-record 33 lead changes and 12 race leaders.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. was third, followed by Joey Logano and Marcos Ambrose.

Crafton tops Truck Series Martinsville, Va. — Matt Crafton grabbed the lead for the first time late and held on to win the rain-delayed Truck Series race at Martinsville Speedway on Sunday, his fourth career victory and first on the half-mile paper clip.

Crafton, the defending series champion, passed local favorite Timothy Peters on the inside of the fourth turn to grab the top spot, then survived two two-lap sprints to the finish in the race postponed Saturday because of rain.

Darrell Wallace, who won here last fall, finished second, followed by Ben Kennedy, Johnny Sauter and Ryan Blaney.

Crafton became the 23rd driver to win in 31 truck races at Martinsville.

The race was just the second of the season in the series, following the opener at Daytona on Feb. 17.

Djokovic beats Nadal in lopsided Sony Open final

AUTO RACING

TEXAS RANGERS

SEATTLE MARINERS

| SPORTS WRAP |

Key Biscayne, Fla. — Novak Djokovic stretched like a rubber band to hit a backhand.

He sprinted into the other corner and scooped out forehands as if he were wielding a shovel.

He ran forward to slice a ball off his shoetops.

And he flicked a difficult half-volley past a weary Rafael Nadal for a winner.

That was just on the last point.

With superior offense and defense, Djokovic earned his fourth Key Biscayne title, while Nadal failed again trying for his first. Djokovic took charge midway through the first set Sunday and closed out the victory by winning a remarkable exchange to beat Nadal 6-3, 6-3 in the final of the Sony Open.

Nadal fell to 0-4 in finals at Key Biscayne, one of just three ATP Masters 1000 events he has yet to win.

“No frustration. That’s tennis,” he said. “I tried everything. I tried my best. It was not enough. The opponent was just better than me, and when the opponent is better, he’s better.”

As for Djokovic, only six-time champion Andre Agassi has won the men’s event more.

Djokovic erased the only break point he faced, committed just 15 unforced errors and won a scrambling, 30-shot rally on the final point with a series of improbable saves. He then dropped his racket, threw up his arms and collapsed on his back as the crowd roared.

He completed a March sweep after beating Roger Federer in the final at Indian Wells two weeks ago. Even so, Nadal will remain ranked No. 1 and Djokovic No. 2.

Either Nadal or Djokovic is the reigning champion in all nine Masters 1000 tournaments. Is Nadal glad to have Djokovic as a rival?

“No,” Nadal said with a smile. “I like challenges, but I am not stupid.”

Djokovic had a different take on the rivalry, and credited Nadal and Federer for helping him to become a six-time Grand Slam champion.

“Because of Rafa and because of Roger, I am what I am today,” Djokovic said. “All the big matches I lost to these guys, not winning the big matches, they made me understand what I need to do on the court.”

Nadal and Djokovic have played 40 matches, the most of any men’s pairing in the Open era, and few have been so lopsided.

Royals

Wiggins

try to move on from a difficult spring training in which three significant players went down with major injuries.

Kansas City will send right-hander James Shields to the mound. The Royals are coming off an 86-win season — the first time they’d finished above .500 in a decade. They’ll need to take another step forward to displace Detroit atop the division, but what better way to start than with a three-game series in Motown?

“We like playing the Tigers. Every time they come into town, or we go there, it’s a different energy when we play them, and it has to be,” Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer said. “They’re the ones we have to set out to get. That’s who we have to go through to win the division. We welcome the challenge.”

Ausmus took over as Detroit’s manager after Jim Leyland stepped down at the end of last season, but the Tigers bring their same trio of stars back for 2014. Verlander, Miguel Cabrera and Max Scherzer have combined to win three MVPs and two Cy Young Awards in the last three seasons. Detroit recently signed Cabrera to a $292 million, 10-year deal — but that was one of precious few feel-good moments for the team over the last few weeks.

Outfielder Andy Dirks, shortstop Jose Iglesias and reliever Bruce Rondon have all gone down with major injuries. Dirks is likely to miss at least the first two months of the season, and Iglesias is expected to be out even longer. Rondon will not return this year.

The improved Royals presented an interesting contrast to the powerful Tigers last season. Kansas City’s sharp defense and speed on the bases gave Detroit problems at times, and the Royals went 10-9 against the Tigers.

Kansas City returns most of its key players from 2013. The Royals signed left-hander Jason Vargas to replace their only significant loss, starting pitcher Ervin Santana.

They also traded for Norichika Aoki to play right field and bat leadoff and signed second baseman Omar Infante away from the Tigers.

The Royals were six games under .500 in late July before going 41-25 down the stretch.

“Being in it in September was a lot of fun, but we have to do that from day one, and not wait until the All-Star break to start playing good baseball,” reliever Aaron Crow said. “I think the end of the season reaffirmed everyone’s belief that we’re a good team, and going into this year everyone knows it.”

KANSAS PLAYERS CELEBRATE A RUN BY TAYLOR MCELHANEY as Oklahoma State catcher Miranda Cavin looks on during the Jayhawks’ 2-1, nine-inning victory in the series finale on Sunday at Arrocha Ballpark.

Kelsey Kessler and how she pitched for us this weekend,” KU coach Megan Smith said. “She was on it, focused and determined. When Kelsey’s on, she’s going to do extremely well, and she certainly was all weekend.”

The Jayhawks and Cowboys (19-14, 0-3) combined to leave 23 runners on base during Sunday’s thriller, but KU caught a break in

the ninth when OSU’s coaching staff elected to replace starting pitcher Simone Freeman with Meagan Lively after she threw two straight balls to McElhaney to lead off the bottom of the ninth.

“It’s definitely refreshing to see a new pitcher,” McElhaney said. “She threw hard, but she was kind of wild.”

McElhaney reached first base after just two pitches from Lively, Ashley Newman walked on five pitches, and Brickey also worked her way to a walk after a scrappy atbat.

With first baseman Maddie Stein at the plate with the bases loaded and one out, Lively uncorked a wild pitch that allowed McElhaney to charge home with the winning run.

“Coach said be ready for anything, especially passed balls,” said McElhaney, who also ended the top of the fourth inning by throwing out an OSU runner at home plate. “So I was looking for that and just tried to stay ready.”

Asked if she was more impressed by her defensive gem or win-

sliders, so I kind of just decided that if they threw me a fastball I wasn’t going to miss it,” Smith said.

The Jayhawks (18-10, 3-3) led 3-1 heading into the ninth inning before the Sooners (20-9, 4-2) began a two-out rally.

After one run scored and with two runners on first and second, Oklahoma’s Craig Aikin hit a single to center. Pinch-runner Tyler Coolbaugh tripped after rounding third base on Aikin’s single and was caught between third and home. However, Jayhawks catcher Ka’iana Eldredge’s throw to third baseman Aaron Hernandez was in the dirt, and Coolbaugh scored to tie the game.

“I saw him fall, so then I thought we were going to get into a rundown where I was trying to close the distance,” Eldredge said.

“I thought Hernandez was coming in, but then

Price said he planned to talk to Jordan Piché about his role today, following his fifth blown save of the season and his second of the series.

“I may change his role here for a little bit to try

to take that mental pressure off of him,” Price said. “He’s got too good of stuff to be struggling like that.”

KU senior right-hander Frank Duncan cruised through most of the game, giving up one run on seven hits while striking out five in eight innings.

“Honestly, they were about the same,” she said.

“I was just fighting for my team.”

Kessler, who spread OSU’s seven hits over nine innings and walked five, had other thoughts about McElhaney’s perfect throw.

“That was exhilarating,” she said.

strikes,” Eldredge said.

“He’s a four-pitch guy, and he mixed well. He threw everything down, stayed down in the zone.”

Price made a few changes to the lineup, adding lefties Ryan Pidhaichuk and Tommy Mirabelli, to force the Sooners out of their rhythm against right-handedheavy lineups.

Protacio opened the game with a walk and scored on a single by Suiter in the first inning.

In the second, Hernandez was hit by a pitch, advanced to second on a single by Eldredge and scored on a dropped popup, giving KU a 2-0 lead.

asked what he was most looking forward to during the 2013-14 school year.

Wiggins is listed as No. 1 pick in the 2014 Draft by draftexpress.com. Embiid is listed as No. 2.

“To reach his full potential, NBA teams will want to see Wiggins become more aggressive with the way he approaches the game. He has somewhat of a laid-back demeanor on the floor, which can be seen in the way he finishes around the basket at times, his tendency for shying away from contact, and his propensity for settling for long jumpers. He looks reluctant at times to just explode down the lane and dunk on people, which his physical tools suggest he should be able to much more frequently than he does. Part of that might have to do with his youth, lack of experience and strength,” wrote Mike Schmitz of draftexpress. com.

“To his credit, Wiggins only recently turned 19 years old, and is obviously nowhere near a finished product. His tremendous scoring instincts and defensive prowess give him outstanding two-way potential, and that, coupled with his incredibly rare physical tools, makes it very easy to see why he’s such a coveted prospect.”

KENTUCKY’S AARON HARRISON (2) SHOOTS THE GO-AHEAD THREE-POINTER over Michigan’s Caris LeVert (23) with 2.3 seconds left and is mobbed by teammates, right, after the buzzer sounded on a 75-72 victory on Sunday in Indianapolis.

Big shot lifts Big Blue ————

Napier propels UConn back to Final Four The Associated Press

Kentucky 75, Michigan 72 Indianapolis — The shot came from NBA range, and if things play out as expected, Aaron Harrison and a lot of those Kentucky kids will be playing in that league soon enough.

First, they’re heading to the Final Four — a trip to Big D courtesy of Harrison’s unforgettable big shot.

The 6-foot-6 forward made a three-pointer from about 24 feet with 2.3 seconds left Sunday to lift the Wildcats and all those freshmen to a win over Michigan and the program’s 16th trip to the Final Four.

He backpedaled slowly, almost expressionless, after ball hit twine. Teammates Dakari Johnson and Julius Randle chased him down.

“Making that shot and seeing my teammates so happy and turning toward me, it’s the best feeling in the world,” Harrison said.

Michigan’s Nik Stauskas missed a desperation heave at the buzzer, and then it was Harrison’s turn on the bottom of a dog pile. Make that a puppy pile. Eighth-seeded Kentucky is the first all-freshman starting lineup to make the Final Four since the Fab Five at Michigan in 1992.

The Wildcats (28-10) will play Wisconsin on Saturday outside of Dallas at AT&T Stadium.

“They made a great shot,” said Stauskas, who led the second-seeded Wolverines with 24 points. “I thought we did a pretty good job contesting it. It’s part of basketball.”

The Wolverines (28-

9) ended their season one win shy of a second straight Final Four.

What a ride this has been for this group of Wildcats, an all-new collection of McDonald’s All-Americans who were touted as the team that could go 40-0, then dismissed out of hand when the bad losses and bad basketball piled up in January and February.

Coach John Calipari got things turned around

by March, and for the second straight game in the Midwest Regional, Harrison made the shot that gave the Wildcats the lead for good. On Friday, he made the key three in Kentucky’s 74-69 win over Louisville. Kentucky is the first team to knock the defending champion and runner-up out of the same tournament.

UConn 60, Michigan St. 54 New York — Shabazz Napier owed UConn.

He could have transferred when academic sanctions barred the Huskies from the NCAA Tournament his junior season.

But the guard wanted to pay back the school for the joy of a national title his freshman year, for his struggles as a sophomore.

Napier sure did that Sunday, carrying UConn back to the Final Four in front of thousands of roaring Huskies fans at Madison Square Garden. He scored 17 of his 25 points in the second half of an upset of fourthseeded Michigan State.

The East Regional’s most outstanding player hit three huge free throws with 30.6 seconds left, making clutch shot after clutch shot. The Huskies (30-8) rallied from a ninepoint second-half deficit to become the first No. 7 seed to reach the Final Four since the tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985.

“His will to win — you could just see it,” said Gary Harris, who led Michigan State with 22 points. “He wasn’t going to let his team lose.”

The undersized Huskies matched Michigan State’s physical play boxout for box-out, holding the Spartans (29-9) to just six offensive rebounds and six points in the paint.

They face Florida in the national semifinals Saturday, and they’ll be confident they can beat the No. 1 overall seed. The Gators have won 30 straight, but their last loss was to UConn, 65-64, on Dec. 2.

Padres rally past Dodgers San Diego (ap) — Seth Smith hit a tying homer leading off the eighth, and Chris Denorfia singled home two runs to give the San Diego Padres a 3-1 victory against the rival Los Angeles Dodgers in baseball’s North American opener Sunday night.

Smith’s first hit with the Padres came on a 2-0 pitch from Brian Wilson, who started the eighth after Hyun-Jin Ryu threw seven scoreless innings. It sailed an estimated 360 feet into the right-field seats.

It was his seventh career pinch-hit homer. He was acquired in an offseason trade with Oakland for reliever Luke Gregerson.

Wilson (0-1) walked pinch-hitter Yasmani Grandal, who advanced when the veteran reliever couldn’t handle Everth Cabrera’s bunt for an error. Grandal stole third and Cabrera took second on indifference before Denorfia hit a bouncer up the middle to bring them both in.

Dale Thayer (1-0) pitched a perfect eighth for the win. Huston Street finished for the save.

The defending NL West champion Dodgers had started the regular season with a two-game

Ryu got the start after reigning NL Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw was scratched due to a swollen back muscle.

In a scheduling quirk, the lefty started consecutive regular-season games.

He made his season debut a week earlier, when the Dodgers beat the Diamondbacks in their second game in Australia.

Dear Annie: My husband and I have two children, ages 11 and 8.

They enjoy spending time with my motherin-law. The problem is, my husband’s nephew lives with Granny and brings girls home with him for sex. The latest girlfriend likes to brag about it in front of everyone, including my kids.

We tried letting the kids visit when the nephew was at work, but the girlfriend kept showing up. I don’t want my children learning about sex at Granny’s house. Mom says there’s nothing she can do -- her house, her business. Now she has shut us out completely.

Our kids are hurt.

What can we do? -Looking for Middle Ground Dear Looking: First, please be sure that the

nephew and his girlfriend are not somehow bullying or abusing Granny. It’s one thing if she simply thinks you should leave her alone and another if she is intimidated and afraid of antagonizing the nephew. You may need to contact Adult Protective Services in your area for help.

Otherwise, perhaps your husband could speak directly to his nephew, without blame or judgment, and say

that the kids miss Granny, and his girlfriend’s uninhibited conversation makes it difficult to visit. Enlist his help to remedy the situation for the sake of family harmony.

Dear Annie: My boyfriend’s mother can be a nightmare. Boundaries mean nothing to her.

My own mother taught me how to handle her.

First, she kept reminding me that this woman created the man I love, so there must be something good about her. Then she and my grandmother began inviting my boyfriend’s mother to women’s lunches and small outings. They developed a beaut. This set a great example for me. I began taking cooking and painting classes with my future mother-inlaw at the local library and going on errands

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Monday, March 31, 2014: This year your libido energies peak to an unprecedented level.

If you are single, you could open up to a very intriguing person who you feel you have a lot to learn from. If you are attached, your relationship quality will depend on CBS is promoting “Friends your ability to remain sensitive to With Better Lives” (8 p.m.) as your sweetie. a different kind of sitcom.

Lives.” In a weird move last March, the network organized efforts to “save” the show from cancellation. So basically ABC was asking fans to petition ...

ABC. Ultimately, ABC ignored its own pleas and canceled “Happy Endings,” to little surprise.

For years, CBS had an even more peculiar hide-and-seek relationship with the mediocre sitcom “Rules of Engagement.”

It would air briefly and then go on hiatus. The show was never officially canceled because it was never really “on.” It would erupt midseason, like a mild, but persistent, skin rash. This went on from 2007-13. But now that CBS has finally canceled “Rules,” the show seems to have returned, with a different cast, and under a different name: “Friends With Better Lives.”

Tonight’s other highlights

The mystery of the crowded urn on “Bones” (8 p.m., Fox).

“Antiques Roadshow” (7 p.m., PBS) visits Kansas City, Mo.

A massacre’s aftermath leads to more questions on “The Following” (8 p.m., Fox).

Riley and Gabriel unmask the traitors in their ranks on the season finale of “Intelligence” (9 p.m., CBS). The network has announced the renewal of 20 series, but not this one.

BIRTHDAYS Actor Richard Chamberlain is 80. Former Vice President Al Gore is 66. Author David Eisenhower is 66. Rock musician Angus Young (AC/DC) is 59.

Actor William McNamara is 49.

Actress Kate Micucci is 34.
