Lawrence city commissioners and their private partners on the controversial Rock Chalk Park sports complex received a glowing report from a city-hired auditor on Monday.

At their weekly meeting, commissioners were told the community had gotten a good value for the project and that expenditures and receipts for the nearly $12 million worth of no-bid infrastructure work matched up.

“My job is to come in and find problems,” Warren Hudson, an auditor with the auditing firm McDonald & Associates, told commissioners. “I’m expecting issues, and I’m looking for issues. It is very rare that I get on a project and have as few of issues as this one.”

Hudson said he reviewed contracts between subconCITY tractors and Bliss Sports II, COMMISSION the private development company operated by Lawrence businessman Thomas Fritzel. He said that after looking at those contracts and canceled checks, he was confident in saying that the city had not overpaid for the project and that Fritzel and his entities were seeking reimbursement only for costs that could be documented.

Hudson recommended that the city make a final payment of $1.02 million to complete its obligations to its two private partners on the project, Bliss Sports II and a Kansas University Endowment entity, RCP, LLC. A majority of city commissioners were

Officials fear Kansans have false sense of security about tornadoes Wichita (ap) — Weather officials in Kansas are worried that a quiet tornado season last year will make residents complacent going into this spring.

Officials are urging residents to not have a false sense of security since the state saw only 40 tornados last year, many of them weak. Kansas has averaged 100 tornados a

year for the last decade and 80 tornados per year over the last 30 years.

“It’s human nature,” said Chance Hayes, warning coordination meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Wichita. “Many of us have a tendency to become complacent when we’re not faced with it on a day-to-day basis.”

Deadline set for school finance motions The Kansas Supreme Court has given the plaintiffs in an ongoing school finance lawsuit until 5 p.m. today to file a motion stating how it wants to move forward in the case.

That order, issued late Monday, was the latest development in a case that has become tangled up in competing procedural motions.

The lawsuit, Gannon v.

Kansas, challenges whether cuts in state funding that have been enacted since the start of the Great Recession violate the Kansas Constitution, which requires the Legislature to “make suitable provision for finance” of public schools.

Last March, the court sided with the plaintiffs on one part of the case, holding that the state’s failure to fully fund socalled “equalization aid” that targets poor districts was unconstitutional. But it remanded back to a three-judge district court panel the larger question of whether overall state funding is adequate.

That lower court had ruled earlier that overall funding was inadequate, and it ordered the Legislature to

increase base school funding by about $442 million.

After another hearing, the lower court issued another opinion Dec. 30, reaffirming its earlier decision, saying overall funding was unconstitutionally inadequate.

A month later, Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt asked the panel to amend and clarify that order, arguing that the wording of the opinion was vague and ambiguous, and that it did not seem to answer the question that the Supreme Court had told the lower court to answer.

A hearing on that motion, as well as another motion by the plaintiffs, is scheduled for Thursday in Shawnee County District Court.

But a few weeks later, Schmidt filed an appeal of the panel’s latest decision with the Supreme Court. Then, on Feb. 27, Schmidt filed another motion arguing that because of his appeal, the district court no longer has jurisdiction over the case.

The Supreme Court is now asking the plaintiffs to say by 5 p.m. which court they think should have jurisdiction.

Audit CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

thrilled with the findings.

“I feel like tonight we have crossed the finish line,” said City Commissioner Jeremy Farmer.

“I feel like a 10-millionpound weight has been lifted off my shoulders.”

City Commissioner Terry Riordan said he hoped the report would help heal some division between the commission and members of the public who were critical of the city abandoning its bid process for portions of the project.

The report though is not likely to satisfy everyone. Here’s a look at some issues raised at Monday’s meeting, which was held a day earlier than usual to accommodate today’s citywide primary election: l Documents provided to the city showed that several contractors attested to receiving payments from Bliss Sports II, but canceled checks actually showed that they were paid by Bliss Sports, a separate entity also controlled by Fritzel.

The development agreement the city signed with Fritzel calls for the city to reimburse Bliss Sports II for its costs on the infrastructure project. But it does not make any provisions for reimbursing Bliss Sports or other related Fritzel entities.

Hudson said he wasn’t entirely sure why the subcontractors were paid with checks from accounts other than Bliss Sports II, but he said he didn’t find reason to withhold payment from Fritzel based on the issue. l Hudson cautioned the city about using nobid contracts in the future. He said over the last 20 years, he had seen very few governmental entities engage in no-bid contracts of this nature.

“In this case, you ended up with a pretty decent deal, but that was the luck of the draw,” Hudson said. “I would not suggest you do it on the path forward. In this case, I just think it worked out for you.

“People are leery about no-bid contracts because they feel like there is a lack of transparency.” l Hudson was asked whether he could ascertain whether the city would have gotten a better deal had it bid the infrastructure work. Hudson told commissioners that he did attempt to review how the cost of this project compared with other infrastructure projects that had been bid

in the area. He told commissioners he was able to compare about 70 percent of the costs, and that comparison showed the Rock Chalk project was about $1.8 million less than the projects that had been bid.

But when asked by the Journal-World about the specifics of those comparisons, Hudson acknowledged that some of the projects he used as comparisons were about three years old, and that it was difficult to account for the construction environment at the time the Rock Chalk Park project was being developed.

“

Honestly, the city performed more due diligence than I have ever seen on a project of this size.”

— Warren Hudson, an auditor with the auditing firm McDonald & Associates The city did go out for bids for the city-owned recreation center at Rock Chalk Park, and the results surprised city officials at the time. Engineers had estimated the recreation center would cost $18 million to $20 million, but all bids came in well below those numbers, with the low bid checking in at $10.5 million.

Ultimately, Hudson said “we did have a problem finding a lot of comparable projects.” l Hudson said he reviewed the construction loan that Bliss Sports II had to build the infrastructure project. The city is contractually obligated to pay the interest costs on that loan. Hudson said there was documentation to support the amounts borrowed on that line of credit. But Hudson did acknowledge that he never saw any cancelled checks or electronic fund transfers for about $1.4 million worth of work that DFC Company did related to landscaping, construction staking and other similar tasks. DFC Company is another Fritzel-controlled entity.

But Hudson said he did verify that DFC Company had booked the $1.4 million as a receivable on its books and that Bliss Sports II had booked it as a payable on its accounting books. Hudson said he’s confident the $1.4 million was ultimately withdrawn from the construction loan and used to pay the appropriate employees and vendors of DFC. “Did I look at his bank reconciliation, though?”

Hudson said. “I did not.”

L awrence J ournal -W orld Hudson said he is not entirely sure why Bliss Sports II didn’t simply write the appropriate check to DFC Company, as it did for its other subcontractors.

“It is not the cleanest way to do it,” Hudson said. “It doesn’t lack for confusion.” l Hudson said confusion also was in high supply when it came to how the various parties viewed the development agreement that governed the project. The city viewed the agreement as one where it would reimburse the documented costs of Bliss Sports II — plus a 2.5 percent construction management fee — up to a maximum of $22.5 million. Bliss Sports II and Kansas University Endowment viewed it as a “lump sum agreement” where the city would pay the $22.5 million, as long as Bliss Sports II could show that it had built the infrastructure according to the agreed-upon plans.

The difference in how the agreement was viewed likely played a role in what type of accounting records were kept on the project, Hudson said.

Hudson recommended that the city be more specific in the future about what type of accounting practices it expects from its contractors.

But words of praise for the city were much more the theme of the night Monday. Hudson commended the city’s engineering division for the work it did to monitor the quantities and quality of the material installed as part of the project.

He also noted that KU Endowment and Bliss Sports II had been cooperative in the audit.

“Honestly, the city performed more due diligence than I have ever seen on a project of this size,” Hudson said.

Four of the five city commissioners have been consistent supporters of the project. Mayor Mike Amyx has been the lone dissenter on the project.

He said he still contends the city should have moved forward with a new police headquarters building before agreeing to build the Rock Chalk project, and he said he’s still convinced the city should have followed its bid process.

“I think there always will be a lot of question around this,” Amyx said.

“But we have gotten a lot of good information. It probably is time to move on.”

Plans developing for former Sunrise Garden Center site

P

lans are in the works between a new nonprofit and a private business to take over the vacant eastern Lawrence property that formerly housed the Sunrise Garden Center.

This spring will be another season that Lawrence green thumbs won’t be able to go to Sunrise Garden Center for bulbs, plants or just advice on what this green stuff is on their thumbs.

If you remember, Sunrise closed its doors in late 2013, and the 3.5 acre site at 15th and New York streets has been vacant ever since.

But a new nonprofit is putting together a plan to buy the property, along with a Lawrencebased business that manufactures tofu.

Melissa Freiburger is the co-founder of The Sun-

rise Project. She said her nonprofit has teamed up with Central Soy Foods in an effort to purchase the site. Central Soy Foods would use the site to manufacture its tofu and tempeh products, and the nonprofit would use the greenhouses and other assets to host youth programs and other events that educate about the importance of locally grown foods and other issues of sustainability. Freiburger envisions the site serving as a community greenhouse and also hosting cooking, gardening and similar workshops. “We really just want to create a very vibrant green space in the community,� Freiburger said.

Central Soy Foods is led by longtime Lawrence businessman David Millstein. If you remem-

ber, we reported back in August that Millstein was seeking a new location for the company’s production plant. But a plan to move the operation to a rural homestead didn’t win the necessary approvals. Currently, the company — which has been around since 1978 — operates on a fairly small scale. It produces about 2,000 pounds of tofu and tempeh per week. It primarily sells

its products in local grocery stores and a few chains in the Kansas City area.

Millstein told me he thought the site would work very well for the project. He’s proposing to keep the two gabled greenhouses, in part, because he considers those structures to have historical value. Millstein has been a longtime historic preservationist with several buildings in downtown Lawrence. He said he’s contemplating removing the one hoop greenhouse on the site and replacing it with a production facility.

He said one other food producer in the area has expressed an interest in sharing the space. He also said he thinks there could be someone who would want to operate the greenhouses to sell

micro greens or other such products to area restaurants and grocery stores. “It has a chance to be a really symbiotic green project,� Millstein said.

The project, though, does have to win some approvals from City Hall. Millstein said he is hopeful neighbors will find the project compatible with the neighborhood. “I think there probably would be less commotion with this project than when it was Sunrise,� said Millstein, who said the most of the time the site would have fewer than 10 employees at it.

The project also still has some financial questions. Freiburger said the nonprofit is seeking to raise $250,000 to meet its share of the purchase price of the property.

The nonprofit — whose legal 501(c)3 name is Lawrence Community Food Alliance — has started a fundraising drive. Freiburger said one neighbor of the site already has pledged $25,000 to the project. “We feel like it really can become something amazing for the neighborhood,� said Freiburger, who lives near the property. “And the longer the site sits vacant, I know there is a fear that it will become apartments or something like that.�

People can find out more information about how to donate at the group’s website, sunriseprojectks.org. — This is an excerpt from Chad Lawhorn’s Town Talk column, which appears each weekday at LJWorld.com.

Many Israelis are cynical about Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to the United States, viewing it as an attempt to drum up popularity for his reelection that could even harm Israel’s relationship with America, a Kansas University visiting professor says. “There is a lot of criticism in Israeli society and in the media ... about his speech,� said Gal Levy, Visiting Israeli Professor in KU’s Jewish Studies program.

to ride a motorcycle. This opened the door to many of the friends and experiences he’s had through the years, he said.

“I’ve had a lot of fun, and I owe a lot of it to him,” Casebier said.

Now 73 years old, Mize said he’s too old to ride or race, but he’s found another way to combine his love of woodworking and machinery.

For the past three and a half years, Mize said he’s been building a 1965 Triumph Bonneville motorcycle out of oak and walnut.

“I didn’t want to make a cardboard cutout — I wanted to make a clone,” Mize said. “All those parts are machined enough where they’ll bolt right on. It’s identical.”

Mize said he hasn’t “cloned” just any old motorcycle — his wooden Bonneville is actually a replica of his own personal racing motorcycle.

“Mike the race bike,” he said with a chuckle.

“That’s what I’ve always called it. And I call the other one ‘Cloney.’ Mikey and Cloney.”

Hour after hour, Mize said, he has machined and hand-carved the motorcycle until each piece meets his satisfaction. The biggest challenge and most time-consuming part of the project has been whittling the tread on the motorcycle’s tires, he said.

While Casebier jokingly estimates his friend must have “a million” hours invested in his creation, Mize said it’s likely just over 1,000 hours.

John Fike, and old racing friend of Mize’s, said the last time the two spoke, Mize was buying old Triumph parts from him to build a motorcycle.

“He came and bought a frame from me about two years ago,” Fike said. “It was a Trackmaster frame for a BSA motorcycle. He thought he could put a Triumph in it.”

Doubtful, Fike sold Mize the frame, later to hear not only was he successful but also that the motorcycle ran very well.

Calling Mize a “pretty fair rider” on the race track and familiar with his mechanical abilities, Fike still said he was surprised to hear about the wooden motorcycle.

Mize said he’s not sure exactly what he’d like to do when he’s completely finished with his project, but he’s considered displaying both the original and wooden versions of the motorcycle together.

Casebier said that Mize’s wooden motorcycle is something to behold, along with his friend’s creative and technical abilities.

“The man is an artist in wood and metal,” Casebier said. “It’s just amazing what he can do. And the patience he has ... I wish I could do just a small part of what he can do.”

Jenkins supports Netanyahu’s address to Congress

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins said she looks forward to a speech Tuesday by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu despite the controversy swirling around his appearance and allegations that it violates long-standing protocol in Washington.

“This is the third occasion Prime Minister Jenkins Benjamin Netanyahu has addressed the United States Congress,” Jenkins said in an email Monday. “Given the ties between America and Israel, it’s no surprise that interest in attending the speech is high.”

Netanyahu was invited to address a joint session of Congress at the sole invitation of Republican House Speaker John Boehner, without consultation with the White House or State Department. He is expected to

R-Ohio, did not consult with the White House or Democratic leaders.

Netanyahu told a Jewish lobby group on Monday that his speech is not intended to inject Israel into American political debate, yet some Democrats plan to skip his address.

CORRECTIONS In a Feb. 24 story about the Kansas University Endowment Association, Dale Seuferling was quoted incorrectly as saying charter planes are not safe and their pilots are not well trained.

Seuferling said in an interview with regard to buying a plane or using charters that it was preferable to buy because: “You control the safety standards, and you can set the safety standards much higher than if you chartered.”

discuss Israeli security issues, including Iran’s nuclear weapons program.

His speech comes as the Obama administration is still engaged in high-level talks with Iran over that weapons program, talks which Republicans in Congress have criticized.

Israel believes that the weapons program is a direct threat to the Jewish state’s security, and Netanyahu has been openly critical of the Obama administration’s efforts to broker a settlement.

As a result, his appearance threatens to place him squarely in the middle of a partisan battle over foreign policy within the United States. At the same time, some have argued that it also places Congress in the middle of Israeli partisan politics because Netanyahu faces his own opposition at home, where elections are set to take place March 17.

Forty-two Democrats in Congress have said

they do not plan to attend the speech.

“Is this a stunt for his own political advantage?” asked Rabbi Moti Rieber of the Lawrence Jewish Community Congregation. “I don’t want Israel’s relationship with the United States to be used as advertising for his own election.”

Rieber said the upcoming speech has been a topic of active conversation throughout the Jewish community in the U.S. And while opinion within the Jewish community about the speech appears to be divided, he said he personally supports Obama’s efforts to negotiate a settlement of the nuclear issue.

“Netanyahu is more bellicose than I would like,” Rieber said. “I think Israel has a right to be concerned, but I also trust the negotiating process more than I would trust a military process to deal with the issue.”

Netanyahu is scheduled to speak at 9:45 a.m.

CST today.

In the end, whether Israeli or stateside, it’s not good for the public to focus on partisan politics over major political concerns, Levy said.

“We’re missing the opportunity to have a more rational and to-the-point debate about the nuclear issue,” he said. “We’re dealing with the question of Boehner’s letter instead of dealing with the real thing.”

And in Israel, he said, “Netanyahu’s insistence to

focus on this issue is considered as an attempt to shift public attention away from the issues of rocketing housing prices, high cost of living and lacking social services — which are still seen in public opinion polls as the main concern of the voters.”

Critic’s murder ‘a present’ for Putin

EDITORIALS

Go vote Today’s primary presents some important choices for Lawrence voters.

I

t has sort of sneaked up on some of us, but today is an important election day.

Today’s primary election will narrow the field of 14 Lawrence City Commission candidates to the final six who will be on April’s general election ballot and trim the field of candidates for a two-year term on the Lawrence school board from four to two.

The large number of city commission candidates has made this election a little daunting for many voters. Some of the faces are familiar, but many are not, and they bring a wide variety of experience and opinions to the table. It’s not too late to educate yourself about the candidates so you can voice a reasoned opinion at the polls. The voting guide that was part of the Feb. 22 JournalWorld still is available, along with other election coverage, on LJWorld.com.

Many voters feel detached from and unable to have much impact on national and even state politics. By contrast, just about everyone in Lawrence has an opinion on some decision that will face city commissioners and school board members, and this is the chance to influence how those decisions will be made.

Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Make your voice heard.

Threat analysis The public needs to be aware of the differing official opinions being expressed about the terrorist threat facing the U.S.

H

ow is the public supposed to know what is going on relative to the dangers facing this nation when major news media — in this case, the Associated Press — fail to report two diametrically differing opinions on a single subject voiced by two very senior government officials in Washington?

Last week, Secretary of State John Kerry told members of a congressional committee that the United States and its citizens are safer today than in years and that there have been fewer killings around the world in the past several years than at any time in the past century. Almost the same day, James Clapper, director of national intelligence, told members of another congressional committee that the threat of terrorism has never been this high in all the 45 years that data on terror risk has been compiled.

Who is the public to believe? Kerry, as secretary of state, is supposed to support and deliver the story line coming out of the white House. Clapper, a professional in the field of national security, is supposed to report the facts, not the political spin.

It’s obvious there is a huge disconnect in Washington among individuals who are supposed to be leveling with the public. Unfortunately, it appears many in the news media either are refusing to report what is going on or are lazy and don’t think these reports are important.

Either way — deliberately or by accident — the public is being shortchanged.

The assassination of Boris Nemtsov on Friday only steps from the Kremlin marks the final blow to the dream of a liberal, democratic Russia, a dream that once flourished after the breakup of the Soviet Union.

It’s hard to believe this joyous, funny, tall, mop-haired opposition leader was shot in the back from a moving car by a professional killer — the highestprofile political murder since the fall of the Soviet Union.

A former deputy prime minister who became one of the most outspoken critics of Vladimir Putin, Nemtsov lay sprawled on a bridge with the candycolored domes of St. Basil’s Cathedral in the background. As word spread in Moscow, Russian activists told me they kept expecting to receive a tweet from him saying the news had been a mistake. “He was so warm, so alive, so honest, you could not buy him,” the

there was no way to turn ideas into products in our old centralized system.”

Nemtsov’s dynamism attracted seed capital from many international agencies. He rose to become deputy prime minister and point man for market reforms under Boris Yeltsin in the midtrubin@phillynews.com 1990s and was briefly considered a possible presidential candidate.

But Russia’s autocratic past couldn’t This murder was clearly be overcome in one decade.

“

everything.” Ever the optimist, Nemtsov predicted Putin’s own errors, especially with the economy, would eventually undermine him. “Putin will help us,” he joked. Then, more seriously, “He will make mistakes. He has no chance to control everything.”

Was he nervous about Putin’s public claim that the opposition planned to murder one of their leaders so they could blame the crime on the Kremlin?

“I’m very worried about that,” he said.

“If the leader of a KGB country says he knows someone from the opposition will be killed, it means he’s warning, ‘Stop what you are doing or you will be responsible for your own death.’”

Which raises the question of who murdered Nemtsov. Putin has denounced the killing, and a Russian government spokesman blamed it on Islamist terrorists! But already some officials are hinting the murder was a “provocation” to rally support for opponents of the government.

Kremlin to blame No matter. This murder was clearly a consequence of Kremlin policy, whether or not it was directly involved.

On the day before the murder, Putin signed a decree making Feb. 27 an annual holiday celebrating Russia’s seizure of Crimea. The holiday is dedicated to Russia’s special forces, the “little green men” who seized Crimea wearing unmarked uniforms, even as Putin denied any Russians were involved.

The Feb. 27 murder of the “traitor” Nemtsov was clearly meant as a present to Putin on the first “Special Forces Day.” That’s true, no matter who hired the gunman.

Nemtsov knew he was at risk. Before he left our dinner, he joked that his mother was more worried than he was. That’s how I remember him, laughing, surrounded by young admirers eager to have their photos taken with him, as he headed out the door to meet a friend for a late-night drink.

Charity good for recipients and givers

By Gene A. Budig and Alan Heaps

We continue to receive good news about the economy. But one part of the story has not received the attention it deserves. That part is charitable giving.

The year 2007 set a record high for contributions. But the recession brought the trend to a halt. In 2008, charitable giving experienced the largest decline in more than 50 years. But the good news is that trend has been reversed and we are now in a period of steady growth. And that bodes well for the nation.

In 2013, individuals gave $241 billion to charity. Add $50 billion from foundations, $27 billion from bequests, $17 billion from corporations, and the subtotal is $335 billion. Add another $163 billion worth of volunteer time — more than 25 percent of adults in America do volunteer work — and the total is $498 billion.

This number — almost half a trillion dollars — is so big that comprehension requires perspective. Two comparisons help make the point. The half trillion is larger than the 2013 gross domestic product of 166 of the 192 countries listed by the World Bank.

The half trillion is larger than the annual combined budgets of California, Florida, New York and Texas.

America also stacks up well when compared to other countries. In 2013, America tied for first place in the “World Giving Index” list of 135 countries. This index, created by the Charities Aid Foundation, is tabulated by a combination of monetary donations, volunteer time and helping a stranger.

Why is charity so important? Here are four reasons.

Charity annually provides more than $70 billion in human and health services that support, among others, the more than 45 million people who Budig live below the poverty line ($23,550 for a family of four).

Charity annually provides more than $50 billion to our K-12 and higher education systems, engines of our economy and democracy. Two-thirds Heaps of the money goes to higher education, which leads the world in almost every kind of research.

Charity gives us some choice and control in a world run by institutions we distrust. In descending order, fewer than 50 percent have a “great deal/quite a lot of faith” in organized religion, medical system, the U.S. Supreme Court, the presidency, public schools, banks, the criminal justice system, newspapers, organized labor, big business, the Internet and TV news and Congress.

Giving, including to charity, makes people happy. In a 2013 article in the Harvard Business Review, researchers reported, “In a series of experiments, we’ve found that asking people to spend money on others — from giving to charity to

buying gifts for friends and families — reliably makes them happier than spending the same money on themselves.”

The one part of charitable giving that has received attention in the last few years is the part focused on the nation’s wealthy, how much they give and who benefits most. Widely covered stories of 2013 and 2014 included two $1 billion gifts (one each from Mark Zuckerberg and Ralph Wilson Jr.) and the ongoing work of foundations funded by Michael Bloomberg, Bill Gates and George Soros.

But research shows that America’s commitment to giving extends far beyond the wealthy. Several studies show that rich people give smaller percentages of their incomes to charity. A recent article from The Atlantic tells us that “in 2011, the wealthiest Americans — those with earnings in the top 20 percent — contributed on average 1.3 percent of their income to charity. By comparison, Americans at the base of the income pyramid — those in the bottom 20 percent — donated 3.2 percent of their income.”

Charity can neither solve the world’s problems nor take the place of government services, but it can and does have a positive impact on millions of people, both those who give and those who receive. As the economy continues to improve, we would do well to remember this and share the dividends of our prosperity.

Topeka — Members of the Kansas congressional delegation continued to express strong opposition over the weekend to President Barack Obama’s immigration policy as part of a political battle that is threatening to shut down the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

Late Friday, the U.S. House and Senate passed a funding bill that keeps the agency operating for another week. But the House and Senate are at odds over whether funding for the rest of the fiscal year, which ends Sept.

30, should be tied to leg-

Roberts and Jerry Moran voted against the bill in the Senate. All of those members are Republicans.

“I do not support the president’s unlawful executive overreach with regard to immigration,” said Jenkins, whose district includes Lawrence. “Last week’s House vote allows Congress to continue that fight without jeopardizing funding for the rest of the critical work of the Department of Homeland Security.”

The one-week extension bill passed late Friday after the House defeated a bill that would have kept the agency running for three more weeks.

Grant adds weight to after-school fitness experience

W

hen Michel Loomis, then a teacher at Liberty Memorial Central Middle School, cofounded a physical fitness after-school program in 2009, all he had to work with was a big gym.

In the years since, his program, Smart Strength, enlisted a corps of businesses to provide healthy snacks at every session. Then a dental hygienist started visiting on occasion to talk about teeth-cleaning practices.

And now, in the past month, Loomis added some actual exercise equipment â&#x20AC;&#x201D; chin-up bars, ropes and medicine balls â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to the mix after receiving a $4,000 grant from the LiveWell Lawrence coalition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like that it exposes them to the kind of equipment

â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can really get out your anger (through the fitness program). Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really tough, though.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kenzi Dowdell, eighth-grader at Liberty Memorial Central Middle School

theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll use in the future in a gym,â&#x20AC;? said Angela Finch, one of four trainers from Next Level gym who lead the exercises. Smart Strength was also started by Next Levelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owner, Chad Richards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only so much we can do with body weight exercises,â&#x20AC;? Finch said.

The program, which runs twice a week during three nine-week sessions throughout the school calendar, has attracted several dozen kids since its beginning, plus the occasional teacher and parent

of a student, who are also invited to attend.

The hour-long program always begins with healthy snacks, followed by lengthy warmup involving things like lunges and heel flicks. These days, they get to break out the new toys after all that.

On one Thursday afternoon, with 27 kids present, they broke up into three groups.

One to do â&#x20AC;&#x153;battle ropeâ&#x20AC;? exercises; another to hop over mats and leap onto a taller ply box; and another to use the chin-up bars.

Kenzi Dowdell, an eighthgrader, said his favorite exercise is the battle rope, in which a person waves a thick, heavy rope up and down. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the five students at Smart Strength who earned one of the annual â&#x20AC;&#x153;scholarshipsâ&#x20AC;? to train at Next Level for free. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can really get out your anger,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really tough, though.â&#x20AC;?

Loomis, now retired from teaching math and physical education, said the equipmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been well received among the rest of students. She said she hopes to spread the program to another middle school in the coming years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really fun; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gotten me into great shape,â&#x20AC;? said sixth-grader Guthrie Bricker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made me tougher.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Reporter Elliot Hughes can be reached at ehughes@ljworld.com.

Wes: Ten years ago, Shawnee Mission East High School graduate Thomas Frank wrote a New York Times bestseller: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Matter with Kansas? How Conservatives Won the Heart of America.â&#x20AC;? In it he posed a simple question: Why do so many Americans vote against their own economic and social interests?

Today, Frank seems like a prophet as our legislators, duly elected and sworn to faithfully discharge the duties of their offices, are giving Kansas exactly what it ordered off a bountiful conservative menu. Last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feast was passage of SB 56, which charges with a class B misdemeanor any teacher caught teaching stuff lawmakers or parents consider salacious.

These criminalsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;that school counselor on your pew at church, the science teacher who spends his meager paycheck at your small business, the Health and PE instructor who married your daughter â&#x20AC;&#x201D; could now face six months behind bars and a $1,000 fine.

Learn about healthy eating for kids at LMH nutrition fest

By Aynsley Anderson Lawrence Memorial Hospital

More than one third of children or adolescents in the United States were overweight or obese in 2012, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Obese youth are more likely to have risk factors for cardiovascular disease, such as high cholesterol or high blood

pressure, as well as prediabetes. Both children and adolescents who are obese are more likely to remain obese as adults, and thus be at risk for chronic health problems related to obesity.

Research has shown that childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eating and

exercise habits are influenced by many factors, including their families, caregivers, school, their peers, the media and the broader environment.

It is known that children learn to like and eat healthy foods, such as fruits and vegetables, through repeated positive experiences with these foods. Adult role modeling is also important to a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s acceptance of

healthy foods.

To help your child (and yourself) learn more about healthy eating and physical activity, plan to visit the free Nutrition Carnival, 11 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday at the Lawrence Public Library. This event is part of an ongoing health and wellness programming partnership between Lawrence Memorial Hospital and the Law-

rence Public Library.

There will be interactive and fun nutrition education activities offered by many area organizations for kids ages 4-12, including bicycle-powered blender smoothies. Special presentations include poet Topher Enneking and the South Middle School Food Poetry Contest winners (11 a.m.), the Lawrence Parks and Recreation Organwise

Guys (11:30 a.m.), and the Hoop Mamas (noon). In the Library Lobby will be the Last Carnival performing aerial feats, plus the Friends of the Library cookbook sale.

When children eat healthy from infancy on, they are more likely to stay at a healthy weight as they grow. Children with healthy eating habits also have more energy Please see LMH, page 2B

Study: More parents asking doctors to delay vaccines The Associated Press

Parents have increasingly pressured doctors to delay vaccines for young children, making their kids and others vulnerable to preventable diseases, a study suggests.

The findings are in a national survey of pediatricians and family doctors asked about parents wanting to postpone some of the many shots recommended for children younger than age 2.

Nearly all doctors said that at least some parents had requested vaccine delays in a typical month, and 1 in 4 said those numbers had increased since the previous year.

Bill CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

Tower of Pristine Virtue in Topeka has wanted to pass this law for a couple of years now, as part of a right-wing beef with public education dating back decades. Last year they got a terrific boost from a not terribly sensible teacher in Shawnee Mission, who as best I can figure it, printed a poster about ways people can express their sexual feelings.

The poster’s list of sexual expressions was far from exhaustive, particularly when considering what kids are up to these days. In fact, readers of Double Take may do a lot of yawning as they give the poster a glance (see our Facebook page via dr-wes.com) and wonder if something got lost in translation.

Sure, it was unwise to post this list on a middle school classroom door, but trust me when I say even younger teens don’t need a poster to tell them

“The only impact this dumb law will have is to immediately shut down discussions of sexuality in Kansas classrooms.”

— Wes Crenshaw

people are having oral or anal sex. They have explicit online content just three or four mouse clicks away, leaving nothing to the imagination. Such material has a greater impact on Kansas teens than that teacher or any legislator. You don’t have to like that one bit, but you do have deal with it, just as that teacher was attempting to do, albeit ham-handedly.

The only impact this dumb law will have is to immediately shut down discussions of sexuality in Kansas classrooms.

Any teacher wanting to avoid a witch hunt should heretofore refuse to teach any sex education curriculum. The risk is simply too great in a state that, as Joseph de Maistre put it so well, has gotten exactly the

government it deserves.

Kyra: Last week my AP Literature and Composition class dug into Nobel Prize-winning author Toni Morrison’s “Song of Solomon,” one of President Obama’s favorite books. At about the same time, the Kansas Senate passed SB 56.

In addition to the points Wes makes, the bill removes schools from an exemption from an existing law that criminalizes the promotion of “material harmful to minors.”

Opponents of SB 56 fear its wording is not precise enough to keep the focus on sex education materials. I, for one, would be upset if my teachers diluted in-class discussions to avoid criminal prosecution.

Given the breadth of this

Disneyland in California, which likely began with a traveler who brought it in, as has been the case in other U.S. outbreaks.

Doctors are concerned about unvaccinated or under-vaccinated children becoming ill and spreading disease to others.

Recommendations Vaccinations against 14 diseases are recommended for children younger than 2, starting law, one would be wise to ask exactly what material is harmful to minors.

It could be all sorts of things — anything from sex education curriculum to J.D. Salinger’s “The Catcher in the Rye.” Last week, while debating a different bill, Wichita Republican Rep. Joseph Scapa spoke of another of Morrison’s books, “The Bluest Eye.” Time magazine has lauded Morrison as “The Great American Storyteller.” Scapa called her work “dirty” and “pornographic.”

Whether sex education curriculum should be limited at all is another issue. The less people know about sex, the more likely they are to become pregnant or get an STI. I don’t believe a teen should be deprived of valuable information and suffer the consequences because a permission slip went unsigned. We may be able to trust some parents to relay necessary information about sex to their children, but we can’t trust all of them, and kids who slip through the cracks will

at birth and given every few months. Some shots combine vaccines against more than one disease; the measles shot also protects against mumps and German measles. Even so, young children may get five shots at once under the recommended vaccine schedule.

Some parents want to delay shots by spacing them out, partly to spare their kids from getting jabbed so many times at one sitting. Doctors surveyed said other reasons include worries about possible long-term complications and other risks from vaccines, which medical experts say are unfounded.

The study didn’t ask doctors which vaccines parents asked to delay.

The recommended vac-

cine schedules are based on research on timing shots to be most effective at preventing disease.

Delaying shots meant to be given at a certain age means they may be less effective. It also makes it more likely that children will never get vaccinated, because parents get too busy or forget to schedule another doctor’s visit, said Dr. Robert Frenck, an infectious diseases specialist at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center.

He was not involved in the new study.

“People just don’t understand that these diseases are all there, they’re not gone. They’re just being kept at bay right now. If people stop vaccinating, they come right back,” Frenck said.

to do daily tasks and will most likely perform better at school.

Here are some tips to help you and your child establish healthy eating and activity patterns. l A healthy eating pattern for children (and adults) is three moderately sized meals, plus healthy snacks in between. For more information on a healthy meal plan for all ages, go to choosemyplate.gov. l Aim for eating as many meals as possible together as a family. This

has been linked to consumption of healthier food choices by all ages of kids. l Buy as wide a variety of healthy foods as possible. Focus on filling your shopping cart with vegetables, fruits, whole grains, lean protein and low-fat dairy. l Avoid or limit purchasing unhealthier foods: those that are high in saturated fats, trans fats, sodium and sugar.

These should be “special occasion” treats (if at all), not daily staples. l Involve children in meal planning and preparation. l Limit eating out, especially at fast food restaurants.

EVENT INFO To learn more about healthy eating and physical activity, visit the free Nutrition Carnival from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at the Lawrence Public Library.

l Encourage physical activity. Children ages 6 and older need 60 minutes of physical activity each day. For further guidelines, visit cdc.gov. l Limit screen time. The American Academy of Pediatrics (HealthyChildren.org) recommends that children under age two have very limited or no TV viewing. Children

and adolescents should have reasonable limits set on screen time. Physical activity should be encouraged over sedentary activities. Do not watch TV during meal times. This can lead to excess food consumption, known as mindless eating, for both kids and adults. l Above all, set an example. If you expect your child to eat healthy and be active, you as a parent, grandparent or caregiver must also do the same.

Is reality TV becoming too ‘Wild’?

As a TV critic, I’m the last guy to complain about his job.

But it’s getting increasingly difficult to tell “real” programming from spoofs.

Just last week, WE launched a show called “Sex Box” (don’t ask). At first glance, it seemed so stupid and sleazy I convinced myself that it had to be a put-on.

Sadly, I was wrong in attributing irony to programmers who were merely finding new room at the bottom of the barrel.

Tonight, Lifetime launches “Born in the Wild” (9 p.m.).

W h i l e it’s no “Sex Box,” this series trades in strenuous exhibitionism of the most intimate variety. In short, “Wild” follows couples and expectant mothers who think it is a good idea to give birth in the wilderness, far from hospitals and medical care, but well within range of camera crews.

“Wild” furthers at least two unfortunate media trends. The first is the eagerness to “share,” well, just about every aspect of what used to be called “private” life. The second is popular culture’s romanticization of the flight from reason, science and medicine. For those who think that’s a good thing, please contemplate the recent measles outbreak at Disneyland, a perfectly preventable medical disaster caused by ignorant egomaniacs who thought they were too “enlightened” to vaccinate their children.

I’m hardly a cheerleader for the medical-industrial-complex. But surely there is some middle ground between a sterile hospital and giving birth amidst Alaska’s frozen tundra. That’s tonight’s setting for “Born in the Wild,” a show for those who take “natural” childbirth to new extremes.

What’s next for cable, “Medieval Dentistry”?

A recent episode of “Vikings” features a savage scene of the Norsemen amputating a limb and cauterizing the wound with a super-heated ax. Let’s hope no reality TV programmers were watching.

Tonight’s other highlights O Blind auditions on two hours of “The Voice” (7 p.m., NBC).

O Both Eddie and his dad’s restaurant receive favorable notice on “Fresh Off the Boat” (7 p.m., ABC).

O Shifting blame on “Chicago Fire” (9 p.m., NBC).

BIRTHDAYS Radio personality Ira Glass is 56. Former NFL player and College Football Hall of Famer Herschel Walker is 53. Rapperactor Tone Loc is 49. Actress Julie Bowen is 45.

upsetting their behavior, they still need you. They also need to know that you will not give up on them.

Talk to your exwife. Explain how this hurts the children, and ask for her help in maintaining a better relationship.

Dear Annie: My sister and her husband have disowned us because we did not go to a memorial service for her husband’s brother, who passed away after a long battle with cancer.

My wife and I saw this brother once every few years at family occasions. We were never at his home. The day of the service, my sister called and asked whether I was coming. I said no, that I had other things going on, and she hung up.

We are in our late 60s, and I think it’s a shame for them to end a rela-

We do think your sister overreacted in the moment, but we also know you’d like to fix this. So apologize to her.

Tell her you are so sorry you didn’t go to the funeral, that you should have been there for her and her husband, and that you deeply regret it and hope she can forgive you.

Dear Annie: I am a 51-year-old man and have been unemployed for the past three years. Last year, my wife asked for a divorce.

My question is: What can I do to revitalize my relationship with my three teenage children? I have to initiate all phone calls and texts. The youngest is forthcoming about events in his life, but my daughters require extensive questioning. I understand that they are angry with me, but I am trying my best to get a new job and move on with my life. Every time I see them, I tell them that I miss them, but only my son says he misses me, too.

It is so frustrating that I don’t want to do this much longer. I have started applying

Kansas University’s basketball team will take the court tonight against West Virginia as champions — 2014-15 Big 12 champions.

Iowa State’s victory over Oklahoma on Monday night dropped the Sooners to 11-6 in the league, meaning ISU, West Virginia and OU each are two back in the loss column with two KU games to play.

I always suspected that Bob Huggins was more like legendary coach/color commentator Al McGuire than any coach before or after Al. McGuire’s charm and humor, dispensed with a New York accent, were louder, more obvious. It wasn’t until I visited Huggins, 61, in Manhattan shortly after he took the Kansas State job that I learned from Huggins that McGuire took an interest in his coaching career when he was at Akron.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY SENIORS, FROM LEFT, ASIA BOYD, CHELSEA GARDNER, NATALIE KNIGHT AND BUNNY WILLIAMS ARE HONORED as part of their 68-64, Senior Night victory over Iowa State on Monday at Allen Fieldhouse.

Freshmen help seniors win fieldhouse finales

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

As hard as it is for a program to say goodbye to four seniors like the ones the Kansas University women’s basketball team said goodbye to on Monday night, bigtime plays from a couple of freshmen sure made it easier.

Freshmen guards Terriell Bradley and Chayla Cheadle made some of the biggest plays of Monday’s 68-64 victory over Iowa State at Allen Fieldhouse, which helped send seniors Asia Boyd, Chelsea Gardner, Natalie Knight and Bunny Williams out with a victory in their final home games.

“We didn’t really have much time to talk to them after the game,” Knight said of the freshmen. “But T (Bradley) and Lauren (Aldridge) and Chayla stepped up big-

from the floor, but Bradley’s three-pointer was as big as any play in the game and meant more to the Jayhawks than just the three points it put on the scoreboard.

“She knows everyone on that bench wants her to shoot that,” a proud KU coach Bonnie Henrickson said.

Of course, as big as all of those plays by the underclassmen were — Aldridge played one of her best games, finishing with 10 points, seven assists and just one turnover in 40 minutes — Monday was still all about the seniors.

And the tears showed up THREE OF THE FOUR SENIOR JAYHAWKS — from left, Bunny Williams, Chelsea Gardner and Natalie even before tip-off.

Kentucky unanimous No. 1 in AP poll; KU falls one spot Kentucky remains the unanimous No. 1 during a tumultuous week in The Associated Press Top 25.

The Wildcats (29-0) received all 65 firstplace votes from a media panel on Monday.

Virginia remained at No. 2, but the next three spots changed after Gonzaga and Wisconsin lost.

Duke moved up one to No. 3, Villanova climbed two spots to No. 4 and Arizona was up two to No. 5.

Wisconsin dropped a spot to No. 6 after going 1-1 on the week, and Gonzaga fell four places to No. 7 after losing to BYU. Wichita State moved back into the top 10 at No. 8, and Kansas dropped to No. 9 after losing to Kansas State and defeating Texas.

Maryland moved into the top 10 for the first time since 2003 and No. 25 Murray State is ranked for the first time since 2012.

CIAA denounces violence

Madison, Wis. — Frank Kaminsky walked onto the Kohl Center court for a ceremony before his last home game, wearing a goofy grin with a small camera strapped to his chest. Wisconsin’s premier big man wanted his own view of Senior Day. Then he went out and convinced Michigan State’s Tom Izzo, one of the game’s most respected coaches, he was indeed the best player in college basketball this year.

A 7-footer who can block shots, shoot the three and handle the ball like a guard, Kaminsky at the very least has few peers when it comes to across-the-board production.

“I’ve never been more impressed with a player in our league since maybe Big Dog back in the day,” Izzo said Sunday referring to Purdue’s Glenn Robinson.

Charlotte, N.C. — Officials with the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association say violence that sent four people to Charlotte hospitals did not occur at official tournament events.

Multiple media outlets reported that two people were hurt in shootings Saturday night and two others were stabbed at another location early Sunday.

Both events were aimed at those attending the conference basketball tournament.

The names of those who were injured have not been released. No arrests have been reported.

CIAA tournament spokesman Derek Ross said Sunday the violence was unfortunate, but something the conference had no control Pro Basketball over.

HAS YOUR CORN FARM

LOST MONEY? Despite China’s refusal to approve Syngenta’s GMO seed, Syngenta continued to sell its seed to U.S. corn farmers. When China banned U.S. corn imports, the price of corn fell dramatically, and corn farmers across the country lost BILLIONS of dollars.

We represent individual farmers.

late Monday, moments after the horn sounded on Iowa State’s 77-70 victory over OU. “There were numerous times this year we didn’t know if we could get there. The kids have done great. We still feel we can play better. We certainly want to win it outright.

We don’t want to share it. In order to win it outright, we need to take care of business and play well against West Virginia.”

Self and his wife, Cindy, did not watch the Iowa State-Oklahoma game. They merely followed the score on the Internet.

“We’re just chilling (at home), both very excited,” he told the J-W, adding, “I’ll sleep good tonight. This year has been a grind. Of course, it’s not near over. The most important games are still in front of us. But this conference is so good, there are so many good teams, it’s nice to guarantee a share. Of all the years to at least get a piece of it, of all the years to do it, I really believe this one may have been as difficult as any because of the quality of competition in our league.”

Even though Self sorely desires a win and the undisputed league title tonight, he felt he needed to congratulate his Jayhawks late Monday night.

“I’m getting ready to text all the fellas, tell them ‘Congratulations, but there’s still a lot of work to be done,’” Self told the J-W. “We need to play well this week (tonight and Saturday at

OU). That is our mission, and that is our objective.”

Tonight’s game, KU’s last home game of the 2014-15 basketball season, now has the makings of one of the most glorious occasions in this or any of the other 59 campaigns in Allen Fieldhouse history.

“We’ve had some good nights this year, but this could be the best night of the year — if we play well,” Self said earlier Monday referring to the contest against West Virginia.

“It’s Senior Night (for walk-on Christian Garrett), and if you do play well, you get a chance to celebrate with your fans, which we haven’t had a chance to do here in a long time. It all comes down to us winning.

Without a win it certainly minimizes the festive mood that everybody has for our respective seniors.”

Eleven straight conference titles is the most in KU history, of course. It’s the second-longest streak of league titles in NCAA history. KU has tied Gonzaga, which won 11 straight West Coast Conference crowns (2001-11).

The all-time leader is UCLA, which won 13 Pac10/Pac-8 titles in a row from 1967-79.

Self was asked if “people” tend to take league titles for granted.

“I think fans do, no question. Fans around here do. That’s OK,” Self said. “You stop and think of the number of league championships Kansas has won. It think it’s a pretty substantial number higher than the second place team has won.”

KU has won 58 league crowns. Kentucky is second with 51.

“I think people around here probably assume,

but let me tell you something ... you win the league three times in a row in the Big Ten, it’s not a big deal, it’s a huge deal. You have somebody else in our league win it two or three times in a row, it’s a big deal.

“I don’t want our guys to take for granted the opportunity to play for a league championship and have a chance to win a league, whether it’s shared or outright. You may have some coaches say, ‘Our goal is a national championship.’ That could be a goal, but if you are not the best team in your league, the chances are your goal to be national champion is not as realistic, though it has happened before, but it’s not the norm. Everybody wants to win league because it’s who we recruit against, that’s who we compete against, that’s who we are measured against ... the teams we face on a regular basis and recruit against on a regular basis. I’m a firm believer in life we all get opportunities. Sometimes opportunities are few and far between. When you have a chance to do something special, you have to take advantage of those opportunities.” l

“I’m 100 percent happy for him. It’s his last game in the fieldhouse. We want to give him what he deserves, a win,” Oubre said.

Garrett will give a senior speech after the game.

“I wrote it last night. I know what I’m going to say. It’s not that long,” Garrett said. “I’m not going to force it on people.

I’m excited for it. I always thought about this day, how cool it’s going to be.

Cliff still out: Barring some day-of-game decision by the NCAA regarding Cliff Alexander’s unknown eligibility issue, the Chicago freshman will miss his second straight game.

“We’ll be short a body inside, so we’ll have to use our quickness,” Self said on his “Hawk Talk” radio show.

“In the back of my mind I’m thinking, That’s easy for you to say,” he said. “You just signed a contract for $120 million.

But what he said was, and the more I thought about it, why do I do this (coach)? I didn’t do this to make money. I didn’t do this to be on TV. I did it because I enjoy it.

“I was going to do something else. My dad tried to talk me out of being a coach because he was a coach. I was going to be an attorney. I was going to be a physical therapist. I was going to be a lot of stuff. The truth of the matter is, I stayed too long with the Philadelphia 76ers. They should have cut me long before they did. By the time I got back, I couldn’t do what I wanted to do. So my coach said, ‘Why don’t you be a GA (at West Virginia)?’

“So then I started doing it, and I liked it.”

During that conversation with Van Exel 20 years ago, something the high-scoring guard said resonated with Huggins: “In the NBA, coach, you don’t have this.”

He pointed to Huggins and back at himself.

“You go to practice when practice is over, and they leave,” Van Exel told him. “They call their girlfriend, or they call their wife, or they call their agent, or they call whomever, and they’re gone. Guys get in trouble, that’s on them. You can’t help guys the way you enjoy helping guys.”

The other players chimed in with similar sentiments, Huggins said.

He recalled the Heat were going to guarantee him about $6 million and that his salary was in the neighborhood of $450,000 at Cincinnati.

“I picked up the phone, and I called my attorney, and he said, ‘Have you lost your mind?’ I just said, ‘I can’t do it.’

Every job that came up after that it was the same thing,” Huggins said. “I couldn’t do it.”

Even when he’s hollering at a player or a referee or can’t believe what one of his players just did, he seems like a man who is happy he stayed in the college game.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

Cyclones storm back ————

Iowa State win gives KU piece of title The Associated Press

Big 12 Men No. 17 Iowa St. 77, No. 15 Oklahoma 70 Ames, Iowa — Georges Niang had 20 of his 23 points in the second half, and Iowa State rallied from a 21-point deficit to stun Oklahoma.

Monte Morris had 19 points for the Cyclones, who maintained their shot at a share of the conference title following one of the wildest league games in years.

Oklahoma raced to a 19-point halftime lead.

But Iowa State scored 22 straight points in just over five minutes and outscored the Sooners 5933 in the second half.

The Cyclones’ win means Kansas clinches at least a share of its 11th straight Big 12 title.

Buddy Hield had 26 points for the Sooners.

to be in the neighborhood of $13 million for linebackers.

Houston could also hold out for the first part of the season, return before week 10 and still earn an accrued season toward free agency.

The Chiefs have the option of rescinding the tender on Houston, but that would make him an unrestricted free agent.

The two sides still have until July 15 to work out a new deal with Houston. Otherwise, Houston would have to play the 2015 season under the tag to earn an accrued year. The Chiefs have the option of franchising Houston in 2016 for 120 percent of his 2015 salary, but would not be able to do so in 2017.

A nonexclusive tag would pay Houston the average of the five largest prior-year salaries at linebacker, which is currently projected to be approximately $13 million,

Chiefs apply franchise tag to Houston Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — As expected, the Chiefs franchise-tagged star outside linebacker Justin Houston on Monday, a league source confirmed to The Star.

The source said Houston has been given a nonexclusive tag, which he is not expected to sign at the moment, though it is unclear when he will decide whether to sign.

The news of the Chiefs’ official designation on Houston was first reported Monday by ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

By signing his one-year franchise tender, Houston would be under contract and be required to attend organized team activities and the Chiefs’ offseason program when they begin in April. But by holding off, Houston can also skip training camp and the preseason, return shortly before the regular season and command his full franchise salary, which is expected
