A tougher smoking ban?

Public workers pan collective bargaining bill ———

Lawmaker: Curbing unions would make government more efficient

Official thinks city can crack down more in public areas like parks, sporting events Town Talk

Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

A

bout 10 years after Lawrence became one of the first cities in the state to adopt a smoking ban for most indoor public spaces, a local health advocate thinks it may be time to toughen the ban.

No more smoking in city parks, no more smoking along the sidelines of youth sporting

events and tougher regulations on the emerging trend of smokeless e-cigarettes would be a good start, said Erica Anderson, a health promotion specialist with the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department.

Smoking your standard tobacco cigarette in a city park is legal today. But Anderson said

the city ought to debate whether it should remain so. The question is also likely to expand to whether spectators at outdoor sporting events on city-owned property should be allowed to smoke and whether e-cigarettes also should be banned at city facilities.

Bert Nash CEO to retire in 2016

By Elliot Hughes Twitter: @elliothughes12

David Johnson announced Wednesday he will retire from his post as CEO of the Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center, a position he’s held for 14 years.

He said he will stay on until Aug. 1, 2016, in the hopes that a new mental health crisis intervention

center will be breaking ground on his way out of office. The upcoming birth of a grandchild accelerated his retirement plans, he said, which include moving back to Iowa with his wife to be closer to family.

“On one hand I’m not ready, but on the other hand I’m very excited about being a grandfather,” Johnson said.

An Iowa native, John-

son, 63, earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Iowa and a master’s in health services administration at the University of St. Francis in Illinois. He has held the top position at Bert Nash since 2001, after serving in the same role Contributed Photo at another mental health treatment center in Des Bert Nash CEO David Johnson Moines for over 20 years. hopes a new mental health crisis center will break ground Please see CEO, page 4A before he retires.

Topeka — Dozens of firefighters, road workers, correctional officers and other public employees packed a Statehouse committee room Wednesday to speak against a bill that would strip many of their collective bargaining rights.

But a conservative legislator, as well as the Kansas Chamber and the think tank Kansas Policy Institute, argued that reining in the power of labor unions would make government more efficient and more like pri-

vate enterprise.

Senate Bill 179, modeled after a law passed

by Republican Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin in 2010, would abolish the Kansas Public Employee Relations Board and put the Kansas Secretary of Labor in charge of administering the Public Employer-Employee Relations Act, or PERA, the law that governs union negotiations and grievance procedures.

The bill would also limit the scope of negotiations with public employee unions to salaries Please see UNIONS, page 10A

Regents denounce higher-ed budget proposal in Senate “

Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Kansas Board of Regents members and other higher education officials expressed outrage Wednesday at a higher education budget proposal now before the Senate Ways and Means Committee that shifts millions of dollars in funding between two of Kansas University’s campuses and makes direct cuts to Kansas State University.

That plan, which was approved last week by the panel’s education subcommittee, shifts $9.4 million over two years from Kansas University’s Lawrence campus to the KU Medical Cen-

Anderson has begun asking about the issue at Lawrence City Hall, and earlier this week talked briefly with the city’s Parks and Recreation Advisory Board about the topic. She hasn’t submitted a specific proposal for the city to consider yet, but said she’s working to develop one. “For sure we want to get rid of e-cigarettes in recreation centers,� Anderson said. “We really want to look at changing the social norms around tobacco use.�

Anderson said the health department has received a grant related to the e-cigarette issue, and she expects that to be the group’s first area of focus. She said she also has an interest in seeing e-cigarettes banned in restaurants and bars. She said banning smoking in all forms in city parks also is on the list of areas she would like considered. “That probably will be in our long-term plans,�

Anderson said. “It would do a lot to help change the social norm.�

Anderson said a primary thought is that if children see fewer adults using tobacco or e-cigarettes, that perhaps they’ll be less likely to take up the smoking habit in the future.

That’s why areas such as recreation centers, ball

That means spectators along the sidelines or in the stands can smoke.

Where the issue goes from here will be interesting to watch. Anderson said she’s reached out to the city attorney’s office seeking more information about the city’s policies regarding smoking and e-cigarettes.

If any changes are to be made — such as banning smoking in parks — ultimately it will be up to the City Commission to make them.

Senate OKs appellate judge nominee

Getting into a jam

By Nicholas Clayton Associated Press

John Young/Journal-World Photo

Topeka — The Kansas Senate confirmed former assistant state attorney general Kathryn Gardner to the Court of Appeals in a 31-9 vote Wednesday.

Gardner was appointed by Republican Gov. Sam Brownback. She served as the law clerk for U.S. District Judge Sam Crow since 2000 after spending 12 years as a lawyer in Wichita and two years as an assistant state attorney general.

Senate Vice President Sen. Jeff King of Independence cast the only GOP vote against Gardner’s confirmation. After the Senate session, he said he thought she was not sufficiently qualified compared with other potential nominees.

Bird-watchers flock to see rare species on decline

By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @conrad_swanson

For the second year in a row, Kansas birdwatchers are rallying to spy the Rusty Blackbird as it migrates north.

The effort, called the Rusty Blackbird Blitz, is a three-year attempt to track the birds, whose population has decreased by as much as 95 percent over the past 30 years, said Valerie Arkell, volunteer coordinator for the Kansas section of the International Rusty Blackbird Working Group.

Every year between March and June, the birds head from the southeastern United States to the northern forests of Canada, Alaska and New England, Arkell said.

Blitz effort spans from the United

States to the northern territories, but birdwatchers in Kansas are most likely to see the Rusty Blackbird through the month of March, Arkell said.

“We’re trying to determine the hot spots for where the birds stop in their migration pattern,” Arkell said, “which hopefully can help find where the Rusty Blackbird are stopping and

what is causing their decline.”

In 2014, there were 67 Rusty Blackbird sightings in Kansas, Arkell said.

But anyone interested in bird-watching can participate and increase those numbers.

“You can just go to the park or a wildlife refuge or even your yard with bird feeders and do some birdwatching using binoculars,” she said.

“Once you see the birds, you can try and identify them using a bird guide or online resources.”

Any Rusty Blackbird sightings should then be submitted at ebird. org,where all the data is collected and catalogued for the blitz, Arkell said.

2 arrested in incident at gas station

By Caitlin Doornbos Twitter: @CaitlinDoornbos

Two men were arrested at a Lawrence gas station Wednesday morning after a store clerk allegedly struck a patron over the head with a baseball bat, Lawrence police spokesman Sgt. Trent McKinley said.

Officers responded to a disturbance with weapons at Shell gas station, 1733 Massachusetts St., around 9:15 a.m. Wednesday, after Bryce Sterling Holladay, 23, of Lawrence, reported

being hit in the back of the head by store clerk Glenn Van Orden Reed, 33, of Lawrence.

McKinley said Holladay came to the Shell station to purchase a pack of cigarettes Wednesday morning, but Reed refused to sell them to him because Holladay did not have an ID. Holladay became enraged, yelling and cursing at Reed, and the clerk told him several times to leave.

Holladay eventually left, but returned a few minutes later to stand outside the store’s front

door, McKinley said.

There, Holladay allegedly held up a pack of cigarettes he purchased at another store and began taunting and cursing at Reed.

Reed then exited the Shell station with a baseball bat, swinging it at Holladay and striking him in the back of the head, McKinley said. Holladay then wrestled the bat away from the gas station clerk and Reed returned inside.

Holladay then called 911 and waited in the parking lot for medics to arrive. He was treated at the scene but refused to go to the hospital, McKin-

ley said. Lawrence police then arrested both Reed and Holladay.

Reed was booked into the Douglas County Jail on suspicion of aggravated battery, and Holladay was booked on suspicion of criminal trespassing.

Both men are being held there without bond until they make their first appearances before a judge today.

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office did not release booking photos for Holladay and Reed on Wednesday.

The public is invited to a Lawrence City Commission candidate forum 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. March 30 at the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vermont St. The forum will focus on the community health plan, “Roadmap to a Healthier Douglas County,” that has been adopted by the City of Lawrence as a guiding document for policy, system and environmental changes.

Appellate judges are currently appointed by the governor and confirmed by the Senate, but the full list of applicants to the court is not publicized. King has advocated for making the full list available so the Senate can choose the best-qualified applicant.

“Part of changing the system means setting a precedent for the way that we think the system works best. What I have tried to communicate is that the system works best when we look at not only the nominee but other people interested in the system,” King said.

But she also presented work on the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993, which made it easier for people to opt out of government regulations on religious grounds, and the legalities of home-schooling children, which she wrote in 2001 was “once the backbone of education in this country.”

Republican Sen. Greg Smith from Overland Park said Gardner was impressive in hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

“She was outstanding in the committee with grace under fire at explaining her judicial philosophy to everyone in the committee,” Smith said.

Brownback said in a statement after the vote that Gardner is “thoughtful, dedicated to the rule of law and understands the importance of profes-

sionalism, objectivity and judicial demeanor.”

“I appreciate the work of the Senate in recognizing Kathryn Gardner’s qualifications to serve the citizens of Kansas,” Brownback said.

In addition to King, all eight Democratic senators voted against Gardner. Minority Leader Democrat Anthony Hensley said he believed Gardner was too partisan and said he would prefer the state select appellate judges through the same process as its supreme court justices.

Applicants for Supreme Court vacancies are screened by a nominating commission of lawyers elected by the approximately 8,000 lawyers in the state. The commission names three finalists, and the governor picks one.

CEO CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

“Lawrence felt like home as soon as I came here,” Johnson said. “I will certainly miss the community, the agency and all the wonderful people I’ve had contact with over the years.”

A “robust” search for the next CEO, which Johnson will be a part of, is already in the works, according to a statement from the organization.

“David has accomplished a great deal while at Bert Nash, and we are very pleased that he will continue to lead Bert Nash for the next 17 months,” said Steve Glass, the chair of Bert Nash’s governing board.

Johnson said when he arrived at Bert Nash, its budget was “a little more than half” of the nearly $12 million it is today, and its pocketbook was emptying after losing $1.5 million in funding over the previous two years.

He was able to turn things around and grow Bert Nash’s finances, he said, with the help of a “phenomenal staff” and “outstanding community partnerships,” among them the Lawrence school district, the local housing authority, law enforcement and Lawrence Memorial Hospital.

“We have great partnerships that allow us to actually move into the community and be where people are and not just wait for them to show up at our doors,” Johnson said.

As part of a national pilot program in 2008, Bert Nash was one of the first seven sites across the country to offer a new training course called

Mental Health First Aid. Johnson even testified before congressional staffers in Washington, D.C., in 2014 on the importance of giving the course federal funding and making it available nationwide, which it eventually was.

Gene Meyer, the CEO of Lawrence Memorial Hospital, said Johnson “worked tirelessly” to lobby for favorable mental health care legislation in Topeka as well.

“I’m happy for him and his family but disappointed to lose someone we worked so well with,” he said.

“He’s quite an ally,” added Dan Partridge, the director of the LawrenceDouglas County Health Department.

Although his retirement date is now set, Johnson said he still has yet to finish what could be one of his proudest achievements: seeing a groundbreaking for a new mental health crisis intervention center.

Douglas County is currently gathering information about a two-part project that would expand its jail facility and build a new intervention center to divert prisoners to. It’s all in response to rising inmate populations and greater demand to provide mental health care services.

Douglas County Administrator Craig Weinaug has said he hopes an organization such as Bert Nash could run the facility. The organizations have engaged in preliminary talks on the matter, while no construction date or funding mechanism have been identified.

“It would certainly rank way up there in terms of filling a gap in service that’s existed for quite a while,” Johnson said.

County plans to fund fairground renovations without issuing bonds

By Elliot Hughes Twitter: @elliothughes12

Rather than issue bonds through a public building commission, Douglas County will pay cash out of its own pocket for all of the $6.5 million in renovations to the county fairgrounds.

At Wednesday’s meeting, county commissioners decided to reallocate money from the county’s capital improvements plan — a rolling five-year playbook of upcoming renovations — to fund the entire project.

Until Wednesday, the county had only $3.1 million in cash set aside for the project. For several months, officials considered paying the remainder by issuing bonds through a recently created public building commission, a process that can be completed without voter approval.

But in the interest of speeding up the process to acquire the funding, they pushed back or

Rights, responsibility A bill facing the Kansas House is justified as a way to protect gun rights but does too little to ensure gun responsibility.

E

ven many supporters of Second Amendment gun rights have serious reservations about a bill now advancing to the floor of the Kansas House.

The bill, which already has passed the Kansas Senate, would make it legal to carry a concealed firearm without obtaining a license. That means gun owners wouldn’t have to meet any of the training or background check requirements that now are part of obtaining a license. They may not know how to safely handle the gun; they may have serious mental health issues; but if they can legally own a gun in Kansas, they would be able to conceal that gun and carry it in many Kansas locations.

The only real reason for a Kansan to obtain a concealed carry license is so he or she could legally carry a gun in other states that have reciprocal licensing arrangements with Kansas.

Supporters of this bill say it is a needed protection for Second Amendment rights, but safety also should be a concern. Many Kansans remain uncomfortable with the whole idea of concealed carry, but the current law, which requires Kansans to pass a gun safety class and undergo a background check before obtaining a concealed carry license, hasn’t had a significant negative impact on the state. That process is designed to make sure people who carry guns are mentally stable and physically able to handle a gun in a way that doesn’t pose a threat to the safety of themselves or others. This bill would eliminate that process.

The licensing process also has assisted law enforcement officials who could ask to see someone’s concealed carry license and use that license to verify that a gun owner had been trained and screened and was legally qualified to handle that firearm. Some Kansans still will have concealed-carry licenses, but all others will require extra vigilance from law enforcement officers.

Carrying a firearm is a right, but that right comes with responsibilities.

People who now have concealed-carry licenses recognize those responsibilities and have complied with reasonable requirements to exercise that right.

Eliminating those requirements would open the door to more irresponsible firearm use in the state. It’s a bad idea that House members should reject.

Export-Import Bank hard to kill Washington — Conservatives’ next disappointment will at least be a validation.

The coming reauthorization of the Export-Import Bank will confirm their warnings about the difficulty of prying the government’s tentacles off what should be society’s private sphere.

The bank, which exists to allocate credit by criteria other than the market’s preference for efficiency, mirrors the market-distorting policies of foreign governments. These policies favor those countries’ exports that compete with America’s.

Much of what the bank does is supposedly to “level the playing field.”

When Fred P. Hochberg, the bank’s chairman and president, defends it, an old joke comes to mind: A pastor officiating at a man’s funeral asks if anyone in the congregation would like to say something about the deceased. After a long, awkward silence, a voice shouts: “His brother was even worse.” South Korea, Hochberg says, provides “four to five times more export support than we do.” Thus does sound policy get defined down: Others are even worse, supposedly forcing us to emulate them.

The bank has been reauthorized 16 times since it was created in 1934 as a filigree on the New Deal program of politicizing the allocation of resources.

The bank and its current authorization would expire in June, if Congress would just do, as it should learn to do, nothing. But the bank will be reauthorized be-

“

Ex-Im is called ‘Boeing’s Bank’ because America’s largest airplane manufacturer last year was the beneficiary of nearly 70 percent of the bank’s long-term loan guarantees …” cause it has bought longevity.

Congress is controlled

by Republicans rhetorically committed to clarifying the increasingly blurry boundary between the public and private sectors. But many Republicans have in their districts or states some businesses that benefit from the bank’s loans, loan guarantees and insurance. Stephen Fincher, R-Tenn., opposed the bank until he became a supporter when it helped Tennessee firms such as the one that exports chemicals that make golf courses lush.

The bank makes nearly 90 percent of its transactions with such small U.S. firms in order to spread its largesse across the country, like butter on bread. So, many Democrats, too, have dependent constituents. Besides, progressives consider gov-

ernment permeation of the economy inherently good: Progressivism postulates what realism about government refutes — the congruence of the government’s interests and the public’s needs. Sen. Elizabeth Warren — rhetorical scourge of Wall Street, big banks, the 1 percent, etc. — supports ExIm, even though it helps to fatten seven- and eight-figure compensation packages for the leaders of some large America firms, which get the lion’s share of the bank’s resources.

Ex-Im is called “Boeing’s Bank” because America’s largest airplane manufacturer last year was the beneficiary of nearly 70 percent of the bank’s long-term loan guarantees, which lowers the cost of credit for foreign purchasers of Boeing aircraft. This, however, makes foreign airlines more competitive with U.S. international carriers, such as Delta, which vigorously objects. Hochberg, however, says that Delta benefits from Ex-Im financing: The bank helps finance foreign airline engine overhaul services that Delta performs near Atlanta.

He notes that whereas Americans average more than two flights per year, air travel has barely begun for India’s 1.2 billion people, and his bank can help Boeing compete for sales against Airbus there. But if, as he says, the bank makes lowrisk loans, surely private banks would make them.

tee, would like to terminate the bank but recognizes the law that governs government, the law of “concentrated benefits and diffuse costs.” America has 315 million sugar consumers and sugar import quotas: These mean unnoticed higher prices for everyone and a windfall for a few thousand grateful sugar producers.

Similarly, Ex-Im’s financial costs, seen (the cost of government borrowing) and unseen (opportunity costs — the benefits to the economy if the borrowed money instead were allocated by market criteria of productivity), are diffused.

The benefits to the bank’s client companies are concentrated.

Hensarling, who of necessity practices the politics of long-term incremental gains, suggests lowering the monetary cap on the bank’s activities. And if, say, only one-third of Ex-Im’s resources are used to directly counter other nations’ export subsidies, the bank’s other two-thirds should be eliminated.

The bank’s costs are, however, more than financial. It takes a toll on the quality and equity of American life and politics by helping to make legitimate and routine the practice, which extends far beyond the bank, of allocating wealth to the politically well-connected. The inability of Republicans to end the bank by inaction illustrates the inertia of big government when buttressed by the clients it creates.

O’Reilly support says much about Fox Every once in a while the universe arranges itself to make you look smarter than you are. Lucky me, I am having such a moment now.

Last month, when NBC News anchor Brian Williams’ career imploded as he was caught in a highprofile, self-aggrandizing lie, I suggested in this space that there would be much less angst or fallout if someone from Fox “News” were caught lying.

Enter, Bill O’Reilly.

Shortly after I wrote that, the liberal Mother Jones magazine ran a story questioning his claim to have been in the combat zone in the Falkland Islands while covering that war for CBS. From his Fox podium, O’Reilly dismissed Mother Jones as the “bottom rung of journalism in America,” which was gushing praise next to his takedown of reporter David Corn as a “liar,” an “irresponsible guttersnipe,” a “far-left zealot” and “dumb.”

Since then, however, other news organizations have reported other instances of questionable assertions on O’Reilly’s part.

For instance, he has long said he was outside the home of a figure in the John F. Kennedy assassination and heard the shot when the man killed himself. That

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

“

People who mistake it for a news outlet will never hold it accountable for failing to be one, because in the final analysis, news is not really what it promises them, nor what they seek.”

suicide happened in Palm Beach. Former colleagues say O’Reilly was in Dallas that day.

He has claimed he was “attacked by protesters” while covering the 1992 Los Angeles riots for “Inside Edition.”

Former colleagues say he is exaggerating an incident where an angry man took a piece of rubble to a camera.

O’Reilly has said he witnessed the execution of a group of American nuns in El Salvador. That happened

in 1980. O’Reilly apparently did not reach El Salvador until 1981.

For the one falsehood, Williams received a sixmonth suspension without pay. For a handful of apparent falsehoods, O’Reilly has received unstinting support from his bosses at Fox. This rather neatly makes the point I sought to make a month ago. Namely, that Fox — the window-dressing presence of a few bona fide reporters notwithstanding — is not a real news-gathering organization but, rather, the propaganda arm of an extreme right wing that grows ever more cult-like and detached from reality as time goes by. Fox is a belief system, not a news network.

Exhibit A is the fact that O’Reilly is not now fighting for his professional life.

To anticipate what his believers will say in his defense: Yes, he is a pundit and yes, pundits are entitled to their opinions. But that does not release them from the obligation to be factual.

It is telling that Fox recently responded to sharp questions about all this from MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow by sending her a statement noting that O’Reilly’s ratings are up despite the controversy. To act as if ratings

answer, or even address, questions of credibility is to express contempt for the very notion of credibility. It suggests Fox’s full-body embrace of the old saying, often attributed to Barnum, about the birthrate of suckers.

But why shouldn’t Fox be sanguine? People who mistake it for a news outlet will never hold it accountable for failing to be one, because in the final analysis, news is not really what it promises them, nor what they seek. Rather, what it promises and what they seek is an alternate reality wherein birthers make sensible arguments, death panels are real, Trayvon was the thug, Sarah Palin is a misunderstood genius and all your inchoate fears of the looming Other are given intellectual cover so they no longer look like the scaredy-cat bigotry they are.

It gives its viewers what they need. It tells them what they want to hear.

Because it does and because that’s all they ask, O’Reilly’s troubles will soon very likely blow away. Yes, he is apparently a serial fabulist. And yes, that would disqualify you from most newsrooms.

But this is Fox. — Leonard Pitts Jr. is a columnist for the Miami Herald.

agreement, it’s almost based on the assumption that anything that’s not in the agreement is just fair game and there are no rules that apply to that.”

State and local government employees testified that they do face dangers on the job, and without collective bargaining, many of their rights would be taken away by employers.

Derrick Baxter, a state correctional officer, said one of the biggest issues his union deals with is forced overtime for prison guards, despite rules that say guards are not supposed to work more than 12 hours in a 24-hour period.

Rick Wiley, a union steward and employee at the Kansas Department of Transportation, said he has often had to use grievance procedures to discuss safety issues because managers routinely cancel mandatory safety committee meetings if they disagree with agenda items submitted by employee committee members.

“I think the action taken by that subcommittee starts the state down the wrong path. It starts the state down a really disastrous path,” said Regent Fred Logan, of Johnson County. “On the surface it appears to just be a cut to KU and Kansas State University. But I would argue that the kind of attack made on those two research institutions is really an attack on all of the universities.”

Sen. Tom Arpke, R-Salina, who chairs the education subcommittee, said the shift in funding for KU was intended to help KU’s medical school train more doctors who practice in rural areas. He said the cut to Kansas State was an extension of Gov. Sam Brownback’s allotment cut to the universities in the current fiscal year.

But Regents Chairman Kenny Wilk, a former legislator from Lansing and a former chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, said the idea of shifting money between universities, or even between campuses of a single university, sets a dangerous precedent.

Since the 1990s, Wilk said, universities have been funded on a block grant system in which the Regents decide how state funding for higher education is distributed among institutions.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY CHANCELLOR BERNADETTE GRAYLITTLE, RIGHT, presents a woodcut plaque of the Board of Regents seal to Regents chairman Kenny Wilk during the board’s monthly meeting Wednesday. The plaque commemorates the 150th anniversary of the founding of KU.

“It’s driven by our strategic plan, and I would invite anybody — and I would especially invite the media — if they have questions about strategic direction, ask us. Ask the six university presidents here. Ask any one of the community colleges.”

KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little and Kansas State President Kirk Schulz both said legislative tinkering with the allocation of higher education funding will make it difficult for them to make long-term plans.

Gray-Little noted as an example the fact that KU received $35 million in additional funding in 2011 to expand its engineering school as part of an effort promoted by Gov. Brownback to increase the number of engineering graduates.

“In order to do that, we need to hire, I believe it’s 30 new faculty members over a period of time to accommodate those new students,” Gray-Little said. “Being able to make that hire depends on being able to count on resources. This kind of change makes it very difficult so that even the commitment that we made to the state, with the state’s help, makes it harder and harder when we can’t plan on what our funding is going to be.”

The full Senate Ways and Means Committee accepted the subcommittee report last week. That report will become just one part of the overall budget bill that the committee will begin debating next week.

“We’ve seen that the private sector works very well in situations where they have very low, or no negotiated terms,” Melcher said. “We don’t see that people are being mistreated, that there are safety issues.

“What this bill does is, it tends to remove the divide between having one side versus the other. When you have a very heavily negotiated

And Kristen Marr, president of the Kansas Chapter of the Fraternal Order of Police, said many police departments already have a hard time recruiting new officers, and without the ability to bargain for fringe benefits to attract new employees, many police departments would quickly become understaffed, threatening public safety.

The committee only heard testimony on the bill Wednesday, and it has not yet voted on whether to send it to the full Senate.

The collective bargaining bill was the first of two bills the Commerce Committee will hear this week dealing with public employee unions.

Today, it will hold a hearing on Senate Bill 212, which would prohibit state and local government agencies, including school districts, from collecting union dues through payroll deductions.

Creation of Kansas basketball uniforms calculated

HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL

Movin’ on

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Legible name. Clear number. School colors. Pronounced logo.

That’s about as far as the check list goes for college basketball fans and the requirements they have for the uniforms worn by their favorite teams. But for those behind the scenes, the process of taking the uniforms from concept to creation is much more intricate and actually begins as many as 10 months prior to their teams wearing any new gear.

When the Kansas University men’s basketball team opens play in this year’s Big 12 tournament at 1:30 p.m. today inside Sprint Center in Kansas City, Missouri, the Jayhawks will do so in their brand new postseason uniforms, the adidas brand “Made in March” look specifically designed for the 2015 season.

Such a shift from regular duds to a fresh postseason look has taken place regularly during the past several seasons, and, according to Larry Hare, KU’s assistant athletic director for equipment services, is all a part of the quest to keep up with the demands of modern advances, both in terms of aesthetics and performance.

Some years, as in 2014, the shift has been seamless and gone mostly unnoticed. Other years, such as 2013 when KU and several other adidas schools wore the “Impact Camo” uniforms, the new design was all people talked about.

Due, at least in some part, to the negative feedback that came when the camouflage uniforms were unveiled, adidas, which two summers ago agreed to a six-year contract extension that would keep the company the official provider of footwear, uniforms, apparel and accessories to each of the Jayhawks’ 18 intercollegiate athletics teams through 2019, agreed to pull back a little on the wild endeavors.

“They were going with much more exceedingly trendy looks that were pulling some of their traditional schools too far away,” Hare said. “But they have vowed to put the emphasis on school logos, school colors and accentuate those. That’s made it easier because the past two years our postseason unis have been a different pattern but they’ve been pretty clean. It’s a different look but it doesn’t depart from who Kansas is.”

That’s not to say it’s all about what Kansas or Kansas fans want all the time.

Same for fellow-adidas schools UCLA, Indiana, Michigan and others. In fact, Hare said a good part of the daily focus from people on both sides of the business emphasizes synergy.

A yes here, to a trendy or particularly bold uniform design, may allow the Jayhawks to say no down the road when adidas strays too far away from tradition.

“It’s all about being a good partner and it works both ways,” Hare said. “My job is to make sure adidas is providing what our teams need. And the flip-side of that is adidas has strategies that they’d like to promote over the course of the season and they float ideas.”

One big advantage at play

LAWRENCE HIGH’S ANTHONY BONNER (15) drives to the basket in a 64-46 Lions win against Wichita South in a quarterfinal game in the state 6A tournament Wednesday in Wichita.

Lions stop Wichita South, reach state semis

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

LAWRENCE HIGH’S PRICE MORGAN (11) shoots against Wichita South in the state tournament Wednesday in Wichita.

Wichita — Lawrence High’s boys basketball players were fired up for their first game at the Class 6A state tournament on Wednesday. Maybe too excited.

The Lions missed their first four shots, including a few layups.

But once they settled down, they cruised to a 64-46 victory over Wichita South at Wichita State University’s Koch Arena. The Lions will face sixth-seeded Shawnee Mission North in the semifinals at 8:15 p.m. Friday.

Following their cold start from the floor, the secondseeded Lions made five of their next six shots to take a lead they would never give up. Junior point guard Justin Roberts led the way, scoring 15 of his game-high 24 points in the first half by draining three triples and finishing a few drives at the rim.

“He’s one of the quickest guards in the state,” senior guard John Barbee said of Roberts. “So that’s what he does. When he’s on fire, he’s

on fire. And we need him when he’s on fire.”

After leading by seven at halftime, the Lions pulled away with a 12-1 run over the final four minutes of the third quarter to take an 18-point advantage. Roberts started the stretch with a floater and senior guard Anthony Bonner followed his lead with six points, including a right-handed slam on a fast-break.

Bonner, who missed last Friday’s sub-state title game with a mild concussion, finished with 19 points as he danced around Wichita South’s 2-3 zone with midrange pull-up jumpers off of the dribble.

“I thought they were solid at both ends,” LHS coach Mike Lewis said of his two leading scorers. “I thought Justin did a nice job being a floor leader. AB (Bonner) hit some big shots. I like the way Justin was patient on his drives and I just liked the spacing that Justin created.

He really set us up with some pretty good space.”

TCU awaits Jayhawks in Big 12 tourney

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas City, Mo. — Those folks who figured Kansas University forward Jamari Traylor wanted to play Kansas State instead of TCU today in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 tournament figured wrong.

“If that guy was suiting up, maybe I would (want to play KSU),” Traylor said. He was referring to the K-State student who charged into him, seemingly on purpose, when storming the court Please see UNIFORMS, page 3B after the Wildcats’ 70-63

victory over KU, on Feb. 23 in Manhattan.

“I don’t like that guy, but it’s all good. I take on average Traylor probably a fall worse than that (court-storming bump) in the game anyway.

It’s all right,” he added.

Few, if any, Kansas State fans will be in Sprint Center at 1:30 p.m., today, when Traylor’s (24-7) Jayhawks take on (18-14) TCU, a 67-

65 winner over K-State in Wednesday’s first-round game in Sprint Center.

The Jayhawks hold no animosity against the Horned Frogs, who fell to KU, 6461, on Jan. 28 in Fort Worth, Texas, and again, 81-72, on Feb. 21 in Allen Fieldhouse.

Perry Ellis (right knee sprain), who practiced with no discomfort on Wednesday while listed as questionable for today, scored 23 points off 9-of-10 shooting, while Devonté Graham had 20 points off 7-of-7 shooting in the win over TCU in Lawrence. That’s the feel-

good game in which KU team manager Chris Huey entered and played in the final minute of a close contest.

“TCU is one of the toughest teams we’ve played on the defensive end,” said KU freshman guard Kelly Oubre Jr. “They go hard and crash the glass. Rebounding is going to be key.”

TCU outrebounded KU, 33-29, in Lawrence and 5040 in Fort Worth. Chris Washburn (6-8, senior) grabbed 12 rebounds and

Kings 113, Hornets 106 Charlotte, N.C. — Ben McLemore scored 27 points, Rudy Gay added 26, and Sacramento snapped a four-game losing streak with a victory over Charlotte on Wednesday night.

DeMarcus Cousins chipped in with 20 points and 14 rebounds for the Kings, who handed the playoff-hopeful Hornets a potentially costly defeat.

Cousins and Gay combined for 18 points in the fourth quarter, including several big shots down the stretch to squash the Hornets’ comeback bid.

Kemba Walker had six points in 16 minutes off the bench after missing 18 games following knee surgery, but Charlotte lost center Al Jefferson to a strained right calf late in the third quarter.

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist had 23 points on 9-of-12 shooting for the Hornets, who have lost back-to-back games at home after a five-game winning streak.

Heat 104, Nets 98 Miami — Dwyane Wade scored 28 points and added nine assists, Chris Andersen tied a career high with 18 points and set a season high with 14 rebounds, and the Miami Heat finished off a season sweep of the Brooklyn Nets with a victory.

Goran Dragic added 17 points in his return to the Miami lineup. The Heat went 7-0 against New York’s two teams this season — 4-0 against the Nets, 3-0 against the Knicks — and moved back into the No. 8 spot in the Eastern Conference playoff race, helped by Sacramento beating Charlotte earlier Wednesday night.

Both teams are playing for extended stretches without their superstar forwards: Kevin Durant for the Thunder, Blake Griffin for the Clippers. In their absence, Paul fared better than his point guard counterpart, Oklahoma City’s Russell Westbrook.

Westbrook finished with 24 points, nine rebounds, seven assists and a career-high 10 turnovers.

at Kansas, Hare said, is that the school’s licensed property manager employed by adidas, 2000 KU grad Stephanie Temple, has an office in the building. That not only allows the two sides better communication when wrinkles need to be ironed out, but also forces the two to be accountable to one another, which both Hare and Temple said has helped create a stronger partnership.

“We don’t always agree on everything and there is definitely some communication that takes place,” Hare said. “It’s easy to say no to someone who is miles away, but here, we have to look each other in the eye every day.”

Coming up with the proper look for KU’s postseason duds is only part of the equation when it comes to outfitting Kansas’ athletic teams.

The school has its own rules and regulations for how its logos are to be handled. The NCAA has four pages in its rule book devoted to uniforms. And the Big 12 Conference now mandates that its new logo be put on all of the uniforms used in competition by conference teams. At KU, such requirements — and even one’s that aren’t; Hare still puts the American flag on all KU uniforms — meant slapping more than 6,000 patches on the uniforms that have been used during the 2014-15 school year.

The whole thing can have a never-ending feel to it. Just when Hare and his crew are finished taking care of one team or one season, they immediately start looking ahead to the next.

“We are already looking at uniforms for next year and next postseason right now,” Hare said.

As intensive as this all might seem, Hare said it also holds incredible value, both financially for the university — that six-year adidas extension was worth $26 million — and in terms of branding.

Trey Zeigler (6-5, senior) 11 in the game in Allen.

On Wednesday, Washburn and Kyan Anderson (5-11, senior) scored 16 points and Zeigler 15 versus K-State. Karviar Shepherd (6-10, sophom o r e ) had nine rebounds, W a s h b u r n eight and Kenrich Williams ( 6 - 7 , s o p h o - Ellis m o r e ) s e v e n for TCU, which entered the Big 12 tourney with four losses in its last five games.

“They are so much improved. Trent (Johnson, third-year TCU coach) and his staff have done a great job in a short amount of time recruiting a higher-caliber athlete and getting those guys to guard and play together,” KU coach Bill Self said. l Ellis recovering: KU junior Ellis, who missed Saturday’s loss at Oklahoma because of his sprained knee, practiced pain-free Wednesday both in an hour workout in Allen and a 40-minute shootaround in Sprint Center, Self stated.

He’s a game-day decision today.

“He looked good today,” Self said of Ellis, who wore a knee brace at practice and will wear it in games. “He didn’t really move around much over here (at shootaround) by design. He practiced the full practice (in Allen).

He went about 50 percent of practice yesterday. If he’s got pain, which he didn’t have today, we’ll hold him. If he doesn’t, we’ll put him out there.

A lot depends on that and we won’t know anything until tomorrow,” Self added.

Ellis would like to play and Self sees the value in playing.

“It’d be nice in a perfect world for him to be able to play because he’s going to play next week (in NCAA Tournament),” Self said. “You want to get out there and at least get hit and know you can get up and stuff. If it doesn’t work out to be a perfect world, we’ll just work him hard Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and get ready for next week.

“He wants to play, no question. Depending on his movements, depending on him being honest with the doctors, that will determine whether or not he plays because his want-to level is very high.

You can’t put him out there if he’s in jeopardy at all.”

Lions CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

Though the Titans (158) limited drives with their zone, the Lions were more than willing to make the extra pass to find the open shooter.

Bonner and senior Ben Rajewski added threepointers to help the Lions shoot 5-for-9 (56 percent) from deep in the first half.

“It was a lot of fun,” said Bonner, who tied Barbee with a team-high three assists. “I really missed it. I almost forgot how fun and special it is to play with these guys.

They’re such a great group of guys and we’re such a great family that it’s great to be back out there with them.”

The Lions (22-1) struggled to contain Wichita South’s 6-foot-3, 275-pound big man Darren Lewis, who lowered his shoulder through contact for a team-high 14 points on seven layups.

But they limited him in the second half with double-teams in the low post to force steals, which helped LHS jumpstart its transition offense.

Barbee grabbed a game-high 12 rebounds to go along with seven points, while junior forward Price Morgan added eight points and eight rebounds. Morgan scored on a buzzer-beating putback to end the first half.

“One of the things that we talked about in the pre-game was to box out because they’re going to be a crashing-the-boards type of team,” said Barbee, who broke out of an 0-for-6 slump from the

A SERIES OF KANSAS UNIVERSITY BASKETBALL jerseys belonging to junior forward Perry Ellis hangs in the equipment room inside the KU locker room. There’s a lot that goes into getting these uniforms on the players year after year, from coming up with the original concept as far as 10 months before they’re worn to sewing the final patches onto them in time for postseason play. Pictured at front is the latest postseason look from adidas, dubbed “Made in March,” which the Jayhawks will wear for the first time in the Big 12 tournament in Kansas City, Missouri.

For the most part, KU fans want to wear what their Jayhawks are wearing, Hare said. And many of them will spare no expense to make it happen.

Earlier this basketball season, when KU won the four-day tournament in Orlando, Florida, a fan got in touch with Hare about purchasing a polo shirt worn by Bill Self and the KU assistants during one of the games. Because that particular shirt was a part of the adidas golf line and turned into a KU brand

by Hare and his staff, the man was out of luck. Or at least that’s what Hare told him. Trying to help, Hare gave the man the specific number of the shirt and directed him to where he could find it online. Not long after that initial encounter, Hare caught wind of a guy who went through the trouble of obtaining

the proper patches, logos and permissions to make the shirt for himself.

“That took some work,” Hare said. “One polo. One guy. But he wanted to have the exact shirt that Bill Self was wearing.”

It’s moments like those that make the giveand-take nature of KU’s partnership with adidas worth it.

“Anything that helps create a little stir that can get people heading to stores is viewed as a good thing,” Hare said.

“It’s the synergy between what we wear and what’s being sold at retail. Your value as a property is very much based on your ability to sell products with the (school and adidas) logos co-mingled. So the more things we can put out there that people want to buy — because they will — that adds value. Especially with men’s basketball here.”

Of Ellis, Traylor said: “He looks good. He was running the floor pretty well today. He’s doing moves.”

Finally, freshman Cliff Alexander (NCAA issue) will not play, Self said. “(There’s) no new news on Cliff whatsoever. That’s all holding steady, unfortunately,” Self said, noting Alexander, “has probably practiced better than he has all year long. It’d be nice to get him back. It’s out of our hands. I’m not asking every day, ‘Where is it?’ There’s no reason to.

“Oklahoma and Iowa State were 3s today. Utah and Maryland were 3s.

I’m not saying a 4 or 5 can’t jump to a 2. I do think we have some work to do to make sure we stay on the 2-line.” l This, that: KU will wear its adidas “Made in March” uniforms today. ... KU is 9-1 all-time vs.

Chiefs announce signing of WR Maclin Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — When he was recovering from a torn ACL a couple of years ago, Jeremy Maclin kept in touch with Andy Reid.

The coach had been fired by the Eagles and landed in Kansas City, yet the bond the wide receiver had built with him had endured.

Now, the two of them will have the chance to work together again.

Maclin signed a fiveyear deal with the Chiefs on Wednesday, giving Reid the kind of downthe-field threat that the franchise was sorely lacking last year. Maclin agreed to terms over the weekend, but had to wait for the start of free agency to sign.

“This is something I never dreamed could happen,” Maclin said.

The contract is worth up to $55 million, a person familiar with it told The Associated Press.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the details were not disclosed.

“It’s not all about the money, man. This is a perfect situation, with the familiarity, what I came into the league doing,” Maclin said. “Being able to come back to the area where it all started,

WIDE RECEIVER JEREMY MACLIN PULLS IN A PASS for Philadelphia during a game against Dallas in December in Philadelphia. The Kansas City Chiefs have signed Maclin to a five-year contract. three hours from home, an hour-and-a-half from where I went to college — it was kind of a nobrainer for me. I’m just happy to have the opportunity.”

The 26-year-old Maclin had no shortage of suitors after starting all 16 games for the Eagles last season.

He set career highs with 85 catches for 1,318 yards

and 10 touchdowns, and showed no lingering effects from the knee injury that caused him to miss the 2013 season.

“All the success he’s had in this league, it started as a rookie,” said Reid, who traded up to select him with Philadelphia’s first-round pick in the 2009 draft. “One of the few guys who stepped in

as a rookie and played well, and that’s hard to do.”

Maclin, who was voted to the Pro Bowl for the first time last season, said he narrowed his potential destinations to Philadelphia and Kansas City.

In the end, familiarity won out.

Along with reuniting with Reid, Maclin will

rejoin backup quarterback Chase Daniel, who starred with him a couple of hours away at Missouri. His new offensive coordinator is Doug Pederson, who was once the quarterbacks coach in Philadelphia.

And his family in suburban St. Louis is easily reachable by car, giving them the chance to see

more of his games. Maclin is no stranger to Arrowhead Stadium, either.

He played there three times in college, once in the Big 12 title game and another time helping beat Kansas.

“I was either going to stay in Philadelphia or come to Kansas City,” Maclin said. “Both of those situations made sense and Kansas City made more sense.”

The Chiefs were strapped for cash a week ago after putting the franchise tag on linebacker Justin Houston.

But they were able to free enough salary cap space by restructuring contracts with linebacker Tamba Hali and defensive tackle Mike DeVito to get the deal done.

“Every decision you make is governed by money,” Eagles coach Chip Kelly said during a news conference in Philadelphia. “Jeremy Maclin had an unbelievable year for us.”

The addition of Maclin could mean the end of Dwayne Bowe’s tenure in Kansas City. The former first-round pick is due to count $14 million against the salary cap after signing a $56 million, fiveyear contract that runs through the 2017 season.

Big 12 Men TCU 67, Kansas State 65 Kansas City, Mo. — Chris Washburn and Kyan Anderson scored 16 points apiece, and TCU held on down the stretch to beat Kansas State on Wednesday night for its first Big 12 tournament victory.

Trey Zeigler added 15 points for the ninth-seeded Horned Frogs (18-14), who had been one-anddone in their first two trips to the Sprint Center.

TCU will play No. 1 seed Kansas in the quarterfinal this afternoon.

Thomas Gipson had 16 points and Nino Williams finished with 13 for the No. 8 seed Wildcats (1517), who finished the season with a losing record for the first time since 2003.

TCU had built a 58-46 lead with 6 1/2 minutes left, but the Wildcats managed to trim it to 6462 when Williams converted a three-point play with about a minute to go.

Zeigler slashed to the rim at the other end and took a no-look pass from Anderson, getting fouled in the process. He calmly made both foul shots to give the Horned Frogs a four-point cushion, and Williams missed a long 3-pointer at the other end that put the game away.

The Horned Frogs improved to 4-0 against the Wildcats in postseason play.

It was a disappointing end to a frustrating season for Kansas State, one marked by a series of injuries to key players and the suspensions of several others. Kansas State had its full complement back for the Big 12 tournament, but it didn’t seem to matter.

The Horned Frogs went on a 16-2 run in the first half while Williams and Gipson were on the bench with two fouls apiece to build a 35-27 lead by the break. Washburn added a jumper right out of the locker room, keeping a heavily pro-Kansas State crowd silent.

That’s when Kansas State made its first run of the game.

Williams and Gipson did most of the work, but diminutive guard Jevon Thomas — briefly kicked off the team last week — also contributed a basket. By the time Gipson missed a layup and Thomas got a rare putback, the Wildcats had crept within 41-39 with 16 minutes to go.

TCU’S AMRIC FIELDS (4) LOOKS FOR ROOM against Kansas State’s Stephen Hurt (41) and Malek Harris, right, during the Big 12 tournament Wednesday night in Kansas City, Missouri.

TCU regained control after Anderson knocked down a deep 3-pointer, taking advantage of a stretch in which the Wildcats went 2 for 16 from the field to push its lead to 12.

That’s when Kansas State made its second run of the game.

Just about everyone got into the act this time, Williams and Wesley Iwundu getting to the foul line and Gipson continuing to work inside. The Wildcats cut the lead down to 64-62 when Williams converted a three-point play, but TCU put the game away in the final minute.

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Husband insists on supporting jobless children Dear Annie: I have been married for 22 years. I started working when I was 14 and didn’t stop until I started having medical issues two years ago.

The problem is my family. My husband doesn’t think it is important that our two kids, ages 20 and 21, have jobs. I have tried repeatedly to help them find employment because they won’t bother to try on their own. But they’ll stay at a job for a month or two, and then they leave. My husband doesn’t think there is a problem. When I bring it up, my son yells at me, and my husband doesn’t care. He says at least our son attends night classes twice a week. Our daughter’s self-esteem is very low, and I am worried about her.

I am sick of the arguments about the kids not

doing more around the house and not finding work. I have moved out of the house and in with a friend. Was I wrong to do this? How do I make my husband see that the kids should have jobs? — Expect Better Dear Expect: Well, if you are out of the house, no one will push those kids to find work, and your husband will be supporting everyone.

We hate to sound like a broken record, but counseling could help

You must be watching ‘Vikings’ because it’s Thor’s day All hail Lagertha! Fans of “Vikings” (9 p.m., History) know what I’m talking about. Katheryn Winnick plays this powerful woman, Ragnar’s (Travis Fimmel) first wife and shield maiden who has become a political and diplomatic force in her own right.

She’s recently been seen canoodling in a Roman bath with King E c b e r t of Wessex (Linus Roache), who informs her that the splendors of his green isle have nothing on the charms of a former Roman city known as Paris. Look for “Vikings” to take its raiding party for a trip down the Seine sometime soon.

Flirting with Ecbert doesn’t mean that Lagertha is falling for his Christian ways. She was recently seen drenched in blood while acting out a fertility rite in honor of the Norse goddess Freya. Religious tension is very much at the heart of this eighthcentury melodrama. Ecbert’s ensigns are horrified to see him consorting with a pagan, just as Ragnar’s shipbuilding buddy, Floki (Gustaf Skarsgard), recoils at an alliance with the Christian Britons. A mystic, Floki sees no way that two cultures can be reconciled without the death of one or multiple gods.

It’s no spoiler to reveal that Floki was proved correct. The Norse gods have been consigned to history and fable. But they still reign over four days of our weekly calendar: Tuesday (Tyr), Wednesday (Woden), Thursday (Thor) and Friday (Freya).

Tonight’s other highlights O An earthquake traps Maggie in an elevator on “Grey’s Anatomy” (7 p.m., ABC).

O Red taps old contacts to help Keen on “The Blacklist” (8 p.m., NBC).
