SPORTS COMPLEX

From illegal immigration to natural resources

Audit is likely; payment delayed Commission moves to search for auditor, determine scope

By Chad Lawhorn Twitter: @clawhorn_ljw

City commissioners Tuesday took the first step toward ordering an audit of public funds spent on the Rock Chalk Park sports complex, while also delaying an approximately $1 million infrastructure payment for the controversial development in northwest Lawrence.

Commissioners at their weekly meeting unanimously agreed that an audit could help ease public concerns over the process that was used to build about $12 million worth of infrastructure CITY COMMISSION at the park without seeking competitive bids on the work.

Mayor Mike Amyx and Commissioner Jeremy Farmer were directed to begin working with city auditor Michael Eglinski on developing a scope of what the audit should examine. Eglinski, though, is not expected to conduct the audit. Rather, the city will ask him to provide a list of recommended auditors who have no connection to the city or Kansas University.

Kansas Rep. Lynn Jenkins told a Lawrence audience Tuesday that immigration reform will be the No. 1 priority for Republicans when the next Congress convenes in January.

Salvation Army kettles need a boost

S

o far, it’s not a great season of change for The Salvation Army’s Red Kettle.

Jim Evers, director of development for The Salvation Army of Douglas County, said donations stand at about $50,000, only half of the $100,000 goal the organization has set. The Salvation Army relies on holiday donations for about 30 percent of its annual budget.

Army said the money raised through the kettles helps support food, rent and utility assistance programs that are operated year round. In addition, the organization also runs special programs such as a school supply distribution event that helped about 800 kids get ready for school this year, and a series of summer camps in sports, music and other activities.

McCluer said he is optimistic that giving to the kettles will increase.

“I think that is kind of the psychology of the kettles,” McCluer said. “People don’t always give until it gets closer to Christmas. They get more excited for the holiday and then they give more. People in Lawrence are generous, so I think we’ll get there. We just need to finish strong.”

an opportunity to have a discussion about that issue when the new Congress is seated,” Jenkins said.

But many of the roughly 80 people who attended said they didn’t want to wait that long and said they were frustrated that Jenkins voted to provide any funding to the Department of Homeland Security, which runs the Department of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

“They don’t need to be funded, they don’t deserve to be funded. Illegal aliens are exactly that,” said Renee Slinkard, who said she lives near Kansas City, Kan. “You’re giving them Social Security. You’re giving them applications to where they can get work permits that take away the jobs. You’re giving them all of these subsidies that we have to put out with our hard-earned money.”

Another man who didn’t provide his name accused the meatpacking industry of using illegal immigrants to break labor unions, cut wages and reduce health care benefits.

Jenkins listened intently and said she agreed with those who say the nation’s

Audit CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

The audit discussion came up as commissioners were trying to determine whether to make a final payment of about $1.06 million for legal fees, interest expenses and other “soft costs” that a private development group led by Lawrence businessman Thomas Fritzel is seeking reimbursement for as part of his work on the public/ private partnership that built the project. Commissioners decided to withhold that payment for the time being.

Amyx and Farmer said they believed the payment should be withheld until the audit is completed.

The other three commissioners said they were fine withholding the payment for the time being but may change their position depending on how long the audit will take.

Commissioners said they hope an audit can be completed by early February, but several questions still remain about what the audit will examine. Officials at the Kansas University Endowment Association — the other partner in the project — have a contract that gives the association the ability to receive copies of “accounting entries, books, correspondence, instructions, drawings, receipts, subcontracts” and a variety of other documents held by Bliss Sports II, Fritzel’s private company that was awarded the no-bid contract for the infrastructure work.

Amyx said he’s not ruling out seeking access to those documents currently held

by Bliss.

immigration system is broken.

“We have to fix the illegal and the legal immigration system and let the market bear the price,” Jenkins said.

The town hall meeting drew a diverse crowd of tea party enthusiasts, independent voters and liberals, many of whom wanted to ask about the recent $1.1 trillion spending bill that funds the rest of the federal government through the end of the fiscal year.

One woman who identified herself as a graduate student said she was concerned that the funding cut for the Environmental Protection Agency could threaten water projects in Kansas at a time when Gov. Sam Brownback is trying to launch a 50-year plan for Kansas water resources that includes efforts to prevent Kansas lakes from silting up through soil erosion.

“My concern is, given the state of the state’s economic condition, and the fact that reservoir sedimentation is going to cost the state a tremendous amount of money, I’m a little concerned about cuts to the EPA,” she said.

Jenkins defended the cuts to EPA’s budget, which she said amount to about 21 percent of the agency’s previous budget, saying that

was the only way to rein in an agency that she believes has gotten out of hand.

“Our only recourse was to just cut the budget, and then force them to prioritize what they were going to spend money on, and then hope that they would spend it on the things that were really important that all of us are concerned about,” Jenkins said.

Another man asked about a provision of the bill scaling back the Department of Agriculture’s new nutritional guidelines for school lunches.

“Why shouldn’t the government set standards for better quality meals rather than junk food,” the man asked.

“Nowhere in the Constitution does it say the federal government is going to tell school children what to eat,” Jenkins said, eliciting applause from many in the audience. “I don’t think the federal government should be involving itself in that sort of thing.”

Jenkins said she was optimistic about the upcoming session because Republicans will control both the House and Senate. The GOP picked up nine seats in the Senate in the November elections, giving it a 5446 majority. Republicans will also hold a 246-188 advantage in the House, their largest majority since 1928.

“I think if we are going to do a comprehensive audit, we need any and all information that the audit team believes is warranted,” Amyx said.

Also unclear is whether the audit will be able to address concerns members of the public have voiced about the commission’s decision to proceed without a bid on the infrastructure project. Commissioners originally thought the recreation center portion of the project would cost about $18 million to build and were prepared to pay that price without a bid on the project. But after public outcry, commissioners put the recreation center out to bid, and the low bid was about $10.5 million.

At nearly the same time, commissioners also were faced with moving ahead on about $12 million worth of infrastructure work.

Despite the surprisingly low bid for the recreation center, commissioners did not require a bid for the infrastructure work, largely because KU Endowment officials objected to a bid process, commissioners have said.

On Tuesday, City Commissioner Bob Schumm — one of the leading proponents of the project — said it is now “unknowable” whether a bid on the infrastructure would have reduced the project’s overall costs. But he said he hopes an audit will confirm that the city paid a fair price for the infrastructure work that was conducted at the site.

“I hope it goes a long way to easing the public’s concerns,” Schumm said.

Westar moves ahead on wind amid debate

Ornamental origin

By John Hanna Associated Press

Topeka — Kansas’ largest electric company announced plans Tuesday to buy power from a wind farm under development to meet a state renewable-energy mandate, as legislators prepared for another debate over repealing the requirement.

Westar Energy Inc. said it expects Cedar Bluffs in Ness and Trego counties in western Kansas to start generating power by the end of next year. Westar, based in Topeka, said tapping the new wind farm will increase its capacity to generate power from renewable resources by 200 megawatts, to 1,100 megawatts.

state still recommends restricting consumption of all types of locally caught fish to one meal per week, regardless of where the fish is caught, because of mercury contamination.

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment and the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism released their annual update of the fish consumption advisories Monday. The advisories identify types of fish and other aquatic

animals that should be eaten in limited quantities or, in some cases, avoided altogether because of contamination.

The stretch of the Kansas River from below the Bowersock Dam in Lawrence to the confluence of the Wakarusa River near Eudora remains under an advisory for bottom-feeding fish because of polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

The state recommends not eating buffalos, carp, carpsuckers, catfishes other than flathead catfish, sturgeons and suckers caught from that stretch of the river.

BRIEFLY Black Hills Energy to increase rates Black Hills Energy announced Tuesday it received approval from the Kansas Corporation Commission on an agreement that allows the company to increase its rates by 4.8 percent.

The average increase for a typical residential customer will be about $2.62 per month, according to a news release. For a small-commercial customer, the average increase will be about $6.46 per month.

Black Hills serves about 111,000 natural gas customers in Kansas. The new rates are effective Jan. 1, 2015.

“We are committed to providing safe, reliable service at a good value,” said Todd Jacobs, general manager for Black Hills’ Kansas natural gas utility, in a statement.

“We maintain that value by controlling costs, making responsible investments, and providing the energy solutions to help our customers manage their bill and get help when they need it.”

Black Hills requested the new rates in order to earn a return on the company’s $51 million investment in infrastructure replacements, improvements and line extensions. Increased operating costs also called for a rate increase, the company said.

Kochs give $11.25 million to WSU Wichita — Wichita State University will receive an $11.5 million donation from Koch Industries and the Fred and Mary Koch Foundation.

The university said Tuesday the gift is the largest single-time donation in the school’s history.

The Wichita Eagle reports the money will be divided in five ways: $4.5 million to expand and renovate the Charles Koch Arena and the Student Athlete Success Center; $3.75 million for a “Maker Space” in a new building for inventors and entrepreneurs; $1.54 million for Honors College scholarships; $1 million for student inventions; and $460,000 for moving expenses when the new Global Trading Center relocates to a new building.

The donation to the athletic department starts a fundraising project of about $15 million for athletics facilities.

His sentencing was scheduled for Feb. 13.

Tuesday morning at the rental home he owns at 1017 Grove St., he offered a grim assessment of the damage done by a Monday evening fire.

“I haven’t been inside, but from talking just now to the fire marshal I think it’s a total loss,” he said.

Baldwin City Fire Chief Allen Craig said the fire was called in to his department at 5:36 p.m. Monday, just as the weather was turning sharply colder. The department’s firefighters arrived to find the first floor of the twostory home “fully involved,” he said.

Tom Johnson said the fire started when he switched on a breaker switch that had kicked off when the basement of the house flooded with Monday’s rains. Baker said the sump pump apparently wasn’t working and that there was a foot of water in the basement.

China, U.S. resetting relationship Beijing — This year began with some Chinese and American foreign-policy analysts looking back a century to World War I and wondering if confrontation was inevitable between a rising power and a dominant one. But now there has been progress on climate, trade and security issues and what seems a modest “reset” of the Sino-American relationship.

Future disagreements between the U.S. and China are inevitable. But the surprise of a high-level dialogue here last weekend was the interest by both sides in exploring what the Chinese like to call “win-win” cooperation.

“I don’t believe there will be a military confrontation between the two countries,” insisted one of China’s top American experts, who not long ago was warning about strains in the relationship. Recent disputes over maritime boundaries in the East and South China Seas are “not particularly dangerous,” said another prominent Chinese scholar.

The positive tone was partly an afterglow of the successful summit meeting here last month between President Xi Jinping and President Obama, which produced agreements to reduce carbon emissions, expand military confidencebuilding measures and negotiate a bilateral investment treaty. Xi is an unusually confident leader. He has dropped China’s usual talk about being too poor and weak to partner with America — and speaks instead of forging a “commu-

of rocket-ship acceleration.

Russia is weak and volatile, and not a reliable partner for Beijing. And China’s regional ambitions have been complicated by its aggressive claims of maritime rights that frightened Japan, the Philippines and other neighbors, pushing them toward the U.S. All these factors argue for greater cooperation with Washington.

The dialogue was organized by the Aspen Strategy Group, co-chaired by Nye and Brent Scowcroft, the former U.S. national security adviser, and the Central Party School, which trains senior members of the ruling Chinese Communist Party. I attended as a member of the Aspen group; the ground rules prevent me from quoting the participants by name.

Such Sino-American exchanges are sometimes rote, wooden events, with participants speaking as if from a prearranged script, but these discussions were livelier. All the Chinese participants embraced the basic line of “winwin” cooperation. But there were some disagreements among the Chinese participants: One analyst said black markets in North Korea were a sign of future market reform, but another insisted that North Korea was suffering from “instability” and internal purges. One stressed China’s plans to develop its own trade bloc, while others said China was interested in eventually joining the free-trade group known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership, now being negotiated by the U.S. The tidy campus of the

On top of that, we would add, the residents of Saline County have a right to know who is being considered for an appointment to represent them on their county commission.

The main reason Saline County voters sought to expand the commission was to add some diversity to the group.

There likely was more than one issue that fueled the effort, but the “Drive for Five” movement was launched after the current commission decided on more than one occasion to reject federal funds that would be used by the county health department to purchase and distribute intrauterine devices and a specific type of birth control pill. It’s understandable that Saline County residents might be concerned that the governor’s pro-life political record might influence his appointments to the commission.

The governor’s decision to withhold the names of the county commission applicants is not unlike his decision to keep secret the names of applicants who are seeking appointment to the Kansas Court of Appeals. In both cases, the public has a right to know who is being considered and who the governor rejected as well as By Schuyler Kraus YOUR TURN who he appointed. Refusing to release the President, Students for a Sustainable Future names only feeds the perception that the governor has something to hide.

Central Party School is one of the institutions through which the ruling elite maintain power. It’s the most senior of a network of about 2,800 party schools around the country that provide midcareer training and evaluation of aspiring members.

Party discipline frayed badly during the last few decades of explosive growth, when some members grew rich taking bribes, but Xi has led an anticorruption crackdown that aims to restore control.

We were lavishly feted during our visit, but I was told that such banquets are much rarer these days. American experts note an insecurity just beneath the surface among the Chinese elite. One confided to an American guest that as many as 60 ministerial-level officials have been investigated. Xi seems to have concluded that unless he can reform the party, it risks losing its legitimacy.

One Chinese attendee told me that to link the party with China’s traditional culture and values, the school instructs students about the teachings of Confucius as well as those of Marx and Lenin.

I’d guess that most Americans and Chinese who attended the gathering still wonder whether the two countries will collide as they seek to project power in the Asia-Pacific region. But after the Xi-Obama summit, there seems a renewed effort to explore ways for a rising China and a still-powerful America to avoid open confrontation.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Dec. 17, 1914: “Smoking years by the police offiago cers while on duty IN 1914 will probably be prohibited in the future as the result of a consultation between a committee representing the W.C.T.U. and Mayor Francisco yesterday afternoon.

The ladies came to the mayor’s office and complained that it surely was not a good example to see a police officer after a boy who had been violating the law by smoking cigarettes, who himself was smoking a cigarette.”

lenged ourselves to be objective and reasonable. Nevertheless, we are accused of going on a “witch hunt” and asked why we aren’t going after liberal donors who do this, as well. The answer is twofold: (1) the Kochs’ infiltration of academia is more strategic and expansive than any other donors, making them the best example of the overarching issue, which means (2) there is no need to go on a “witch hunt” and expose all examples of this sort of activity. I believe that once a problem is identified, continuing to point fingers wastes time better spent working toward solutions.

I opened this letter with a quote from Ayn Rand that, though seemingly incongruous, is particularly relevant to this issue. Creativity is vital to achievement in academia. It animates academicians’ search for truth as ideas emerge, compete and are refined or rejected until the most resilient coalesce into theories and, perhaps, paradigms. Our vision of the university as striving to be a source of objectivity and truth is premised on the intellectual integrity ensured by this rigorous process.

Leveraging wealth to bypass it not only is lame because it’s taking the easy way out, but also because it’s a dogmatic pursuit with no interest in creativity or academic achievement, only in winning.

This is not a partisan battle for ideological domination, but a manifestation of a conflict between the utilitarian and intrinsic value of higher education. Neither is inherently bad, nor must they be mutually exclusive. When out of balance, though, one is sacrificed at the expense of the other. If we accept the corporatization of public universities, let’s call them what they are — trade schools — and officially revoke their status as sources of truth and reason.

Gen. Asim Bajwa, a military spokesman. When they reached an auditorium where students had gathered for an event, they opened fire.

A 14-year-old, Mehran Khan, said about 400 students were in the hall when the gunmen broke through the doors and started shooting. They shot one of the teachers in the head and then set her on fire and shouted “God is great!” as she screamed, added Khan, who survived by playing dead.

From there, they went to classrooms and other parts of the school.

“Their sole purpose, it seems, was to kill those innocent kids. That’s what they did,” Bajwa said. Of the 141 people slain before government troops ended the assault eight hours later, 132 were children and nine were staff members. Another 121 students and three staff members were wounded.

about conservative ideology than reclaiming the White House.

Tallahassee — Jeb Bush answered the biggest question looming over the Republican Party’s next campaign for the White House on Tuesday, all but declaring his candidacy for president more than a year before the first primaries.

Bush, the son and brother of Republican presidents, is the first potential candidate to step this far into the 2016 contest, and his early announcement could deeply affect the race for the GOP nomination.

He is the early favorite of the GOP’s establishment wing, and his move puts immediate pressure on other establishmentminded GOP contenders to start competing with him for donors, campaign staff and national attention.

The 61-year-old former two-term governor of Florida declared on Facebook he would “actively explore the possibility of running for president of the United States.”

Bush’s announcement raises more clearly the possibility of a dynastic presidential contest pitting him against Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton.

The former first lady will be her party’s overwhelming front-runner should she decide to run.

Bush has long been a favorite of establishment Republicans who care less

Nawaz Sharif pledged to step up the campaign that — along with U.S. drone strikes — has targeted the militants.

“The fight will continue.

No one should have any doubt about it,” Sharif said.

“We will take account of each and every drop of our children’s blood.”

Taliban fighters have struggled to maintain their potency in the face of the military operation.

They vowed a wave of violence in response to the operation, but until Tuesday, there has only been one major attack by a splinter group near the Pakistan-India border in November. Analysts said the school siege showed that even diminished, the militant group still could inflict horrific carnage.

The rampage at the Army Public School and College began in the morning when seven militants scaled a back wall using a ladder, said Maj.

Peshawar, Pakistan (ap) — In the deadliest slaughter of innocents in Pakistan in years, Taliban gunmen attacked a military-run school Tuesday and killed 141 people — almost all of them students — before government troops ended the siege.

The massacre of innocent children horrified a country already weary of unending terrorist attacks.

Pakistan’s teenage Nobel Peace laureate Malala Yousafzai — herself a survivor of a Taliban shooting — said she was “heartbroken” by the bloodshed.

Even Taliban militants in neighboring Afghanistan decried the killing spree, calling it “un-Islamic.”

If the Pakistani Taliban extremists had hoped the attack would cause the government to ease off its military offensive that began in June in the country’s tribal region, it appeared to have the opposite effect. Prime Minister

Megan’s Simple Tomato Soup

Tomato soup brings summer to December

L

ast summer, when my tomato plants were rife with fruit, I followed a friend’s advice and blanched and peeled about a bushel to freeze. Canning, it turns out, is a bit fussy for me. I can toss some stuff in a freezer bag like nobody’s business, though. And then I promptly forgot about the beauties in the back of the refrigerator in the garage.

But as the cold snap came upon us, my desire for soup grew, and I reached into the cabinet for a can of Campbell’s Tomato Soup. (It’s not bad in a pinch, OK?) But suddenly the bags of frozen beauties downstairs cried out to me, “BUT WHAT ABOUT US!?” Oh yes, my friends, a perfect frozen tomato application at the perfect time of year.

I always think of tomato soup as Christmas-y food.

Maybe it’s just a color scheme

The Flying Fork

it even a little more special.

My tomato soup is so very simple, which is another reason I am so fond of it. It’s no fuss and always a hit.

Megan’s Simple Tomato Soup 1 large can (46 ounces) V8 juice 10 whole tomatoes, peeled and cored (about enough to fill a 1-gallon freezer bag, whole) thing, what with the rosy color 2 cups half and half and the bits of green basil. But 3 cloves garlic it’s a great thing for a crowd 2 tablespoons olive oil because it’s easy to make a lot, 1 tablespoon vegetable base (I and who doesn’t love a grilled like Better Than Bouillon brand) cheese sandwich?

1/4 cup white onion, chopped It’s nice to have on hand for 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper the day after the big event, or (more or less to taste) for when everyone has grown Juice of 1/2 lemon tired of leftover ham and turkey.

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg It can be made ahead and frozen 6 or 7 large basil leaves to great results, and frozen Salt and pepper to taste tomatoes from the garden make

Megan Stuke

Begin by sauteeing the chopped onion and the minced garlic in the olive oil. When they are softened but not brown, add the tomato/vegetable juice and the tomatoes (frozen is fine — no need to defrost if they are just out of the freezer).

Let that simmer until the tomatoes are warm and beginning to break down in the tomato juice.

Add the vegetable base, lemon juice, salt, pepper and cayenne, and simmer for 20 minutes.

Finally, add half of the basil, chopped, and the half and half.

With an immersion blender, puree until smooth.

Serve with another sprinkling of basil on top, and next to a perfectly browned, ooey-gooey grilled cheese sandwich. Prepare to be loved.

A pancake that has it all — bacon, apple and sugar

By J.M. Hirsch Associated Press

Like Thanksgiving, Christmas is one of those holidays that requires aroma.

On Thanksgiving, we need the house to smell of turkey and stuffing and sweet potatoes.

On Christmas, we need whiffs of indulgent breakfast items, like cinnamon rolls or a bubbling fruit crisp. Or maybe you prefer hash browns and bacon. Those get the job done nicely, too.

This year I wanted both sweet and savory, so I created this baked pancake inspired by an upside-down cake. For ease, it can partially prepped the night before. To do that, just make the batter as directed in a blender, then refrigerate it overnight in the blender carafe. In the morning, just give it a quick whir to freshen it, then you’re ready to assemble the pancake.

And that’s when things get good. You start by frying bacon in a skillet.

Once the bacon is crisp, you top it with a layer of thinly sliced apples. Give those a couple minutes to soften, then you add a hefty sprinkle of brown sugar and cinnamon. Finally, you pour on the batter and pop the whole thing in the oven to finish.

When it’s done, you overturn the pancake onto a serving platter and cut it into wedges.

You may not need to, but

t’s funny to me how each one of us associates this time of year with a certain “holidays-only” flavor.

For some, it might be eggnog. Or fruitcake. Or chestnuts.

And then there are the secondary flavors — ones that we might enjoy more this time of year than we would in any other month, even though they aren’t a December exclusive.

As we rush upon the winter solstice, I don’t tend to crave a “holidaysonly” flavor, but one lumped into the secondary category. The kind that can be enjoyed in the heat of summer, but somehow represents the holidays to me and probably many others: mint.

This is probably related to the fact that when I was young, my mother made pinwheel cookies as part of her massive yearly holiday bake-a-thon. If I shut my eyes, I can easily taste the sweet, minty flavor imbued within those pink and white swirls.

Yep, those cookies are Christmas to me. And they aren’t even my favorite Christmas cookie.

(That would be my mom’s chocolate-pecan squares. YUM.) And I wanted those pinwheels this week. But because making a huge batch of cookies just to enjoy a tiny taste of one seems to be a fool’s errand (you know I’ll eat the whole dang flotilla of cookies), I decided to try to slay my craving with something a little lighter.

You know, a treat that can rotate in with all that heavy holiday party fare.

The result is this pretty green smoothie.

Packed with good fats, vitamin A and taste, it’s got that wintery fresh flavor that is just as welcome this time of year as the dense foods we also associate with December. But don’t drink it with a slice of fruitcake.

That can only end badly — dried fruit plus mint?

Yuck.

Bacon-apple baked pancake there’s no harm in dousing the whole thing with maple syrup.

Bacon-Apple Baked Pancake Start to finish: 45 minutes Servings: 4 3/4 cup whole milk 1 egg 1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

Kosher salt 1 large apple 8 strips bacon 1/4 cup packed brown sugar 1 teaspoon cinnamon Heat the oven to 375 F. In a blender, combine the milk, egg, oil and vanilla.

Blender until smooth. With the blender running on low, sprinkle in the flour, sugar, baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stop blending as soon as the mixture is smooth. Set aside.

Use an apple corer or melon baller to core the apple, but leave the fruit intact. Set the apple on its side, then cut it into thin round slices. Set aside.

Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium. Add the bacon and cook for 6 to 7 minutes on one side. Spoon out and discard about half of the fat in the pan, then turn the bacon strips to cook on the other side, laying them flat and evenly over the bottom of the pan. Top the bacon with the apple slices, arranging them evenly.

Cover the pan and cook for 2 minutes.

Mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon and a pinch of salt, then sprinkle the mixture over the apples. Carefully and evenly pour the pancake batter over the apples and bacon. Place the skil-

let in the oven and bake until lightly browned and cooked through, about 20 minutes.

Let the pancake cool for 5 minutes. Use a paring knife to loosen the edges of the pancake, then overturn a large serving plate over the skillet. Invert the skillet to release the pancake onto the plate.

BASKETBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Cumbie would be a good fit for Kansas The nice thing about Kansas University changing football coaches at the rate Bruce Jenner changes faces centers on the guessing game as to the important hires the head coach will make. It’s an enjoyable exercise. Try it.

For David Beaty, offensive coordinator ranks as his most vital hire. He doesn’t claim to be an offensive guru and believes in letting his coaches coach.

Beaty might already have his man picked out and is waiting to make it official after his OC’s current school plays in a bowl game. Then again, head coaches don’t always land their first choices once pay raises enter the equation.

Kansas would have a tough time pulling an OC from a big-time football school, so think one level below, someone with one of those co-offensive coordinator/position coach titles, which means he’s involved in the offensive scheming, but not calling the plays on game day. For example, Ed Warinner is Ohio State’s co-offensive coordinator/ offensive line coach and Tom Herman, just hired as head coach by Houston, was the offensive coordinator.

No way Warinner would have been interested in returning to Kansas for his second tour as OC, even if Herman had not left.

Warinner interviewed for the head-coaching position, didn’t get it and is not about to come here to do a lesser job.

But there is one extremely desirable candidate who just might be open to the idea of removing the “co” from his title and in calling plays for a hefty pay raise.

Former Texas Tech quarterback Sonny Cumbie did a terrific job running the Air Raid offense for Mike Leach as a player. Then he spent three years playing in the Arena Football League and worked in the offseason as analyst for the Texas Tech Sports Network. He also worked as head coach/ director of player personnel of the San Angelo Stampede of the Indoor Football League. He drew high praise for knowing talent when he found a quarterback who started from the fourth game of the season on and led to the team to its playoff victory. The quarterback’s name: Sonny Cumbie.

(Wonder if that approach will work as well for Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez, who appointed himself as head coach of the Badgers for the Outback Bowl versus Auburn after Gary Andersen escaped Alvarez’s massive shadow to take the Oregon State job.)

Anyway, Cumbie, 33, doesn’t have a long college football coaching resume, which is why it’s realistic to think Beaty could reel him in and what a catch he would be, based on the work he did in his lone season at TCU. Doug Meacham has been the Horned Frogs’ primary play-caller. Cumbie,

MINNESOTA’S ANDREW WIGGINS, LEFT, pressures the Lakers’ Kobe Bryant during a Nov. 28 game in Los Angeles.

Kobe sees similarities with ex-Jayhawk Wiggins

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Alert the hype police.

Someone actually had the audacity to compare Minnesota rookie Andrew Wiggins with future Hall of Famer Kobe Bryant.

Wiggins has played all of 24 games in the NBA. Bryant, face of the Los Angeles Lakers, has five championship rings and is the league’s

third all-time leading scorer (32,331 points).

Who in their right mind could look at Wiggins (303 points) and see Bryant?

Kobe Bean Bryant himself.

That’s who.

On the same night the 36-year-old passed his boyhood idol, Michael Jordan, for third place in career points — against Minnesota and Wiggins — he saw a little of himself in the

19-year-old trying to stop him.

The 6-foot-8 rookie from Kansas University with the 7-foot wingspan and treasure trove of upside scored 16 points Sunday in his second meeting with Bryant’s Lakers (far better than a three-point, 30-minute performance the last week of November). It wasn’t enough to out-duel Bryant (26 points), nor for a Timberwolves win, but

even on a night Wiggins shot 4-for-12, the rookie’s overall game impressed Bryant to some degree.

“Yeah, it was a strange feeling, because I remember being Andrew Wiggins,” Bryant told ESPN.com’s Baxter Holmes. “I remember playing against Michael my first year. To be here tonight and to play against him, seeing

Self seeks offensive boost

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self’s Christmas wish list for his players includes ...

“Our guys having confidence and understanding where our shots are coming from and that they are confident we can get good shots,” Self, KU’s 12th-year coach, said Tuesday, choosing improvement on the offensive end during a morning spot on KC-610 radio.

The Jayhawks have hit 41.4 percent of their shots while averaging 69.3 points in storming to an 8-1 record.

“Sometimes you run offense to run offense as opposed to running offense to score. The other thing,” Self added, “is I’d like to see us be more aggressive. I think we are passive in some ways as far as going after the ball.

We’re not getting enough 50/50 balls, not creating extra possessions with our aggressiveness.”

He said the defense was

definitely ahead of the offense heading into Saturday’s 2 p.m. home game against Lafayette.

“Gosh I hope so. We had nine points in 15 minutes (second half) the other day,” Self cracked. “I don’t consider us great on either end.”

KU has allowed 63.2 points a game off 40 percent shooting.

“I think coaching defense is much easier,” Self said,

When high school basketball coaches get move-in transfers, they never know what they are going to get or how they’ll transition to their team.

Free State High girls basketball coach Bryan Duncan met senior forward Sarah Coversup at the beginning of the school year as her school counselor and she said that she played basketball.

Duncan tried to look up her stats from Horton High online, and talked to a few people who had seen her play, including former FSHS basketball player Millie Shade, who played with her on a summer team.

Please see KEEGAN, page 3C But that didn’t prepare

him for the impact Coversup has made for the Firebirds this season.

“People said some positive things, but boy, they didn’t tell me what we’ve seen so far,” Duncan said.

“And as good as she’s been on the court, and she’s been good on both ends of the floor, honestly, she’s been even better off of the court.”

Coversup has averaged 14.8 points per game for the Firebirds (4-0) this season, which is just behind sophomore Madison Piper’s teamhigh 16 points per night.

Add in sophomore guard Jaycie Bishop, who transferred from Lawrence High, and the Firebirds have gained two quality transfers for their squad this season.

TV: JayAfter being locked in as hawk (WOW! a solid oral commitment channels 37, with the Kansas UniverPlease see HOOPS, page 3C 226) sity football coaching staff since August, Mathis heard chatter that he might not be in KU’s future plans after news broke about the hiring of new head coach David Beaty.

“I was told that he was gonna go a different route,” Mathis said. “So I had decommitted from them for maybe four hours at the most and then he called.”

As it turned out, what Mathis heard was not true, and Beaty, on the same day he was hired at Kansas, did his best to convince the 6-foot-2, 205-pound cornerback he was still wanted.

“He was just like, ‘I need you to get back on board because you have a scholarship here and I’ve watched your highlights and need you to be a part of this team,’” recalled Mathis of Beaty’s initial words. “As a recruit, when you’re committed to a school and they go through a coaching change, someRyan Waggoner/Special to the Journal-World times you wonder if they’re FREE STATE’S SARAH COVERSUP drives against Topeka High on Dec. 5 at FSHS.

going to keep you or not and it felt good to have him call me up and let me know that he still wanted me to be a part of the Jayhawk family.”

Mathis is one of a handful of transfers expected to make his addition to the KU roster official today, when mid-year transfers are first eligible to sign their letters of intent.

Navarro College running back Ke’aun Kinner (5-10, 185) Blinn College offensive lineman Jayson Rhodes (6-3, 290) and one or two others also officially may join the Jayhawks today.

Mathis said the past couple of months had been stressful but he praised former interim coach and current defensive coordinator/assistant head coach Clint Bowen for helping him remain comfortable with Kansas during the final two months of the season.

Mathis’ official visit to KU came in late September, for the Texas game, and, despite the change in leadership, he said the things that sold him on KU remained in place.

“The atmosphere is great out there,” the Crosby, Texas native said. “It’s very different from Texas, and the fan base and everything is very cool.

On my visit, we stood behind the student section and I love how they stood the entire game.”

Jumping on board in time for spring practices figures to give Mathis a chance to compete for immediate playing time, something he said was important to him.

“When I looked into schools, that was the first thing I looked at, who were they bringing in and who they had left because I’ve only got two years left and I want to play as quickly as I can,” he said. “Of course, I know I still have to show up and work hard, though, and I’m down for competition.”

Kinner an All-American Recent KU commitment Ke’aun Kinner, a 5-foot-10, 185-pound running back from Navarro College, was named a first-team NJCAA AllAmerican on Tuesday.

Kinner, who also was named 2014 offensive MVP by the Southwest Junior College Football Conference’s coaches, rushed for 1,696 and 22 touchdowns on 253 carries and also caught 17 passes for 109 yards and another touchdown. Kinner also led the SWJCFC in rushing yards per game (170) and averaged 181 allpurpose yards per game while helping lead Navarro to a 7-3 season.

Originally from Little Elm, Texas, Kinner is one of two running backs added by the Jayhawks in the current recruiting class.

Murray out, Rhodes in One-time KU commitment DeLonte’ Murray, a versatile offensive lineman from Lackawanna Community College who committed to the Jayhawks in June, has changed his mind and is expected to sign with Cincinnati today.

Murray, a 6-foot-5, 315-pound tackle, reopened his recruiting after KU made a coaching change and wound up going with what he called his “gut feeling” on the matter. His departure opened the door for Beaty to pursue Rhodes, who appears to be waiting to hear from KU about his grades before signing with Kansas.

According to JayhawkSlant.com, Rhodes has three years of eligibility remaining.

Royals finalize Morales deal Keegan

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

The Associated Press

Kendrys Morales missed out on a postseason appearance last season when his Seattle Mariners fell just short of a wild card.

Now he’s joining one of the teams that went to the playoffs at Seattle’s expense.

The Kansas City Royals finalized a $17 million, two-year deal with the veteran slugger Tuesday.

Kansas City made the postseason as a wild card this year and went all the way to the World Series before losing to San Francisco in Game 7.

“At first I didn’t think maybe they would make

asked specifically about instructing players on both ends of the court.

“Defense ... getting guys to buy in, playing a certain way, understanding how teams score and taking that away ... to me that’s a little bit easier than getting guys to put the ball in the basket, because regardless of what you run offensively, there’s still a skill involved to finishing the possession.

“Good coaches get teams to play on both ends. A lot of times good offensive teams lack the other or lose because they score so easy they don’t put as much emphasis on the defensive end.

So if I had to pick one to be great at, I would say the defensive end gives you a better chance night in and out,” Self added.

Firebirds CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

They both will be factors when the Firebirds play host to Lawrence High in the City Showdown at 5:30 p.m. Friday.

Bishop started a few games for the Lions last year, but missed several games at the end of the season with a concussion, so Duncan wasn’t familiar with her play.

Bishop was known as a sharpshooter behind the three-point line for LHS, but she’s been asked to do more this season, especially as she’s struggled shooting the ball.

“That’s what we’ve tried to talk to her about, ‘We don’t want you or anybody to have the mentality to just be a shooter,’” Duncan said. “Defense, communication, ball movement, those are all critical things when you’re not making shots, and I think she’s been outstanding in all of those areas.”

Coversup and Bishop have earned spots in Free State’s starting lineup, but they both were unsure of what to expect when they joined their new team. Coversup, who transferred to FSHS when her mother accepted a new job, didn’t plan on becoming such a vocal leader.

“I’m kind of shy so I thought I would be quiet,” Coversup said. “But as soon as we got to know each other, we started

the playoffs, but they caught fire at the end and were playing really well,” Morales said through a translator. “I think they started playing well, they kind of gained some confidence. They were playing well going into the playoffs and that was the most important part for them.”

Morales gives the Royals a new designated hitter after Billy Butler agreed to a free-agent deal with Oakland. Kansas City will hope last season was an aberration for Morales, who hit .218 with eight homers and 42 RBIs in 98 games with the Minnesota Twins and Seattle. He didn’t play last

season until June after waiting for the right offer.

Two years ago, Morales hit .277 with 23 homers for Seattle.

The Royals finished last in the major leagues in home runs but won the pennant with a distinctive style built on speed, defense and a sensational bullpen. It was a thrilling run for a team that hadn’t been to the playoffs since 1985, but it remains to be seen if Kansas City’s success is sustainable. This is, after all, a team that won only 89 games during the regular season, finishing a game behind AL Central champion Detroit.

“We have to be able to

drive the ball better — a lot of times we’d come up with bases loaded or first and second, we’d hit a single or what have you,” general manager Dayton Moore said. “Kendrys we think is a necessary part of that, to produce more runs, as our lineup continues to gain more experience.”

Butler struggled through one of the worst seasons of his career, hitting .271 with only nine homers.

His $12.5 million option was declined. The 31-yearold Morales will get $6.5 million next year and $9 million in 2016. The deal includes an $11 million mutual option for 2017 with a $1.5 million buyout.

As far as individual improvement ... one player on the upswing appears to be freshman wing Kelly Oubre, who scored nine points and grabbed three rebounds while playing 17 minutes in a 63-60 win over Utah on Saturday in Sprint Center. He had seven points and five boards in 16 minutes in last Wednesday’s 75-70 win at Georgetown.

“He’s doing well. He was one of the better performers in the last two games,” Self said of the 6-7, 200-pounder from New Orleans who averages 3.4 points and 2.2 boards. “He seems to be gaining confidence. He’s one of those guys who probably was laboring the most of our young kids.

It’s hard to put a guy in games you’ve got to win, that are tight ballgames a lot of times when you are not real confident.

“I’m seeing the lid come off the basket for him. I’m seeing renewed energy.

I’m seeing a different look in his face from a confidence standpoint. I think he’s becoming more and more comfortable. I think there’s some things going on with him real positive that will definitely enhance our team.”

Freshman wing Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk has had two points in 15 minutes the last two contests.

“He’s going to be great.

He’s so young,” Self said of the 17-year old from Ukraine who has averaged 4.8 points and 2.2 boards. “He’s not really had a coming-out party yet. That’s going to happen, kind of like Brannen (Greene, five threes) had against Georgetown. Svi’s going to have a game like that. It’ll be much easier moving forward when he sees some good things happen like that.

“He plays well in practice, wants to fit in too much, wants to please too much rather than just go do it sometimes. What a

great kid and what a future he’s got.” l More on Graham: Self commented on how the loss of freshman point guard Devonté Graham for at least a month will affect the team. Graham suffered a severely sprained right big toe last Wednesday at Georgetown.

“Obviously we have to monitor Frank’s minutes,” he said of Frank Mason III. “We have to develop a backup point. It changes our team quite a bit. That was probably the deepest position we had, that and big wing. Now it’s the thinnest position we have basically in a span of a month. Creating more havoc defensively, pressing, picking up full court, that will not be done quite as much with certain situations because Frank will have to play 33, 35 minutes a game,” he added.

co-offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach, has had input on the offense and has worked daily with Trevone Boykin.

No quarterback in the nation improved more than Boykin, who finished fourth in the Heisman voting.

Boykin as a sophomore: seven touchdown passes, seven interceptions. Boykin as a junior working with Cumbie has 30 touchdown passes so far and seven interceptions.

Boykin lost his starting spot for the final five games of the season and had to battle through summer camp to win the job back.

Amazing. Those who track the Horned Frogs closely believe Cumbie had a great deal to do with Boykin’s shocking season. Now’s the time to grab Cumbie, since bigger programs might hesitate to do it because he has only five seasons of experience as a college head coach and just one game as the primary play-caller (Texas Tech’s 34-31 victory vs. Minnesota in the 2012 Meineke Car Care Bowl, the grandbaby of them all).

Beaty wants a fastpaced offense and in Cumbie he could have just the man to make it move. All of Cumbie’s experience has come in the Big 12, a plus. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s at the top of Beaty’s list and if he is I wouldn’t be surprised if the new Kansas coach is able to hire him.

“

We’ve had times in games where it could have easily gone the other way, but we stuck together. Sarah being the new player, her energy is just so high and she’s always telling us, ‘Come on guys. Keep going.

Keep going.’”

— Free State’s Jaycie Bishop talking a lot and having good laughs.”

Bishop added: “We’ve had times in the games where it could have easily gone the other way, but we stuck together.

Sarah being the new player, her energy is just so high and she’s always telling us, ‘Come on guys. Keep going.

Keep going.’ She’s a big part of this 4-0 start.”

Meanwhile, Bishop was nervous for her move to FSHS because of the city rivalry but has found it to be a “great change.”

Now she’s trying to prepare herself for playing for the Firebirds in the City Showdown for the first time.

“I’m excited for it,” said Bishop, who is averaging 7.3 points per game. “Very nervous.

It’ll be an exciting game.

I know I’ll see friends, so I’m excited. … I’m going to try to treat it like another game, but I know the noise level and just the whole dynamic of it will be big.”

the baby face and the little footwork or little technique things that he’s going to be much sharper at as time goes on — it was like looking at a reflection of myself 19 years ago. It was pretty cool.”

Kobe’s math might be a little off (he was still in high school in 1995), but the point is the 16-time all-star respects the Canadian teenager who has eons to go to reach that same astral plane.

Of course, Wiggins (12.6 points, 3.9 rebounds) will always remember the “legendary moment” when Bryant hit two free throws in Minneapolis to surpass Jordan, he said in an interview on the Timberwolves’ website. More

importantly, the novice will carry with him the all-pro’s words.

“It’s an honor,” Wiggins said of Bryant’s comparison, following a Monday practice. “Just motivation to my ears. It strives me to work even harder to become something like him, you know.

He’s an all-time great.”

Minnesota coach Flip Saunders, also the organization’s president of basketball operations, sure hopes Bryant is right. He acquired the No. 1 pick in the 2014 draft in a three-

team deal that sent former Minnesota all-star Kevin Love to Cleveland. “(Bryant) saw some of the things that (Wiggins) could do,” Saunders said in an interview posted at Timberwolves.com. “He didn’t shy away from the moment and I think that’s where Kobe looks at him and probably sees himself. He’s not afraid of the moment and is pretty cool and calm in any type of situation. He doesn’t seem to get too high and just goes about doing his business.”

Anyone interested in becoming a sports official (referee, umpire, etc.) Call Jeff at 785-865-1517 or 785-550-3799 This is an ad to let the public know that a family tradition has been broken when someone stole from Mr. Bill Rogers front yard, at 16th and Delaware, his handmade Santa and reindeer Christmas yard decorations. He made these in the 1980’s from a pattern he found from a magazine, and his son, who just turned 27 years old, has memories of these yard decorations from when he was a little boy. If you have any information regarding Mr. Roger’s yard decorations - a hand painted Santa with packages, sleigh, and four reindeer, please leave a message at 785-393-4580.

Daughter’s infrequent visits anger father Dear Annie: I have two teenage children from a previous marriage. For the past 12 years, they have lived with their mother 90 miles away, and I have visitation every other weekend and alternate holidays, etc. I have always exercised visitation faithfully and have a good relationship with both of them.

This year, my daughter has rarely come for weekend visits. She is socially active and has things to do with her friends on weekends and says she’d rather be with them. My son comes to visit me regularly.

For the past few years, I’ve given my kids money for Christmas and birthdays so they can buy whatever they want. I always give them the same amount. Now I think I

and is unwilling to help me.

If my daughter thinks my side of the family is not worth her time, then she shouldn’t expect to be treated the same as her brother.

Annie’s Mailbox

NBC stacks its lineup with singing If music be the food of love, NBC’s got a pretty stocked larder.

“Peter Pan Live,” “How Murray Saved Christmas” and “Elf: Buddy’s Musical Christmas” have all offered viewers something to hum around the holidays.

Actually, NBC’s been pretty high on musical performances since competition shows like “America’s Got Talent” and “The Voice” helped lift it out of the ratings cellar.

Tonight’s entire NBC schedule is dedicated to song.

O A new “tradition” dating back to 2011, “Michael Buble’s Christmas in New York” (7 p.m., NBC) hearkens back to holiday extravaganzas of yore. I mean, he performs with the Rockettes! Not to mention Barbra Streisand and Miss Piggy! The song choices lean toward the festive and familiar, from “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas” to “I’ll Be Home for Christmas.” And I would imagine that Buble fans wouldn’t want it any other way.

O Another musical tradition, “The Sing-Off,” (8 p.m., NBC) returns for a fifth season. All but one of these “Sing-Offs” have been scheduled around the holidays. And the a-cappella showcase seems suited to the festive season.

Jewel, Shawn Stockman and Patrick Stump serve as judges, with Nick Lachey returning as host. Stump, of rock band Fall Out Boy, replaces Ben Folds of Ben Folds Five.

O In other holiday fare, Hallmark works its most dependable plot device into the 2014 romance “The Christmas Parade” (7 p.m., Hallmark Channel). AnnaLynne McCord stars as a Grinch-like, big-city morning news host who relocates to the sticks after an on-air mishap. She dreads small-town life at first, but then meets a handsome artist (Jefferson Brown) who needs help saving a community-arts center and thinks that a big holiday parade is just the thing.

Tonight’s other highlights

O On the conclusion of “Sur-

vivor” (CBS), three are called (7 p.m.), but only one is chosen (9 p.m.).

O Four chefs vie to win on the finale of the 13th season of “Hell’s Kitchen” (7 p.m., Fox).

O Surrounded by grief, Pepper quakes and Elsa reflects on “American Horror Story: Freak Show” (9 p.m., FX).

BIRTHDAYS Pope Francis is 78. Comedian-actor Eugene Levy is 68.

Country singer Tracy Byrd is 48. Actress Milla Jovovich is 39.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Wednesday, Dec. 17: You will want more downtime than you have had in recent years.

You might want to do some research or perhaps some volunteer work. Although you are a social sign by nature, you will center yourself when need be. If you are single, you could attract someone who is emotionally unavailable.

Take your time getting to know someone, and be sure that he or she is being authentic. If you are attached, your relationship flourishes as a result of spending more time together as a couple.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) ++++ What you expect to hear and what you actually hear might cause you to hit the pause button. Tonight: Listen to your intuition.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) +++++ You might discover that you don’t have the control you desire. Understand your limitations. Tonight: Know when to call it a night.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) +++++ You could be worried about proceeding in a certain way.

Do what you feel is best. Tonight: A must appearance.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) +++++ Your creativity emerges when dealing with a schedule change. Tonight: Playtime!

some changes to the visitation schedule so that her weekends are freer. Or perhaps, to make up for fewer weekends, you can have more of her vacation time. Look into activities in your area (rock concerts, etc.) that might appeal to her. Offer to let her bring a friend for a weekend once in awhile. Explain that you miss her and so do her grandparents, and ask how to make this work. She will appreciate your flexibility, and in the long run, it will do your relationship good.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ++++ Others might not be able to keep up with you; help make them feel more comfortable.

Tonight: Buy a favorite treat.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ++++ Your words seem to draw out the imaginative side of a friend or loved one. Tonight: Let it all hang out.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) +++ Make sure you can handle the fiscal requirements of an investment. Choose a stressbuster.

Tonight: Do some holiday shopping.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ++++ You could push yourself way beyond your limits and wonder why. Tonight: Loosen up.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) +++ You could seem closed down to others right now. In truth, you do have a lot on your mind.

Tonight: Get some extra R and R. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) +++++ You’ll have a lot to say and an audience that will listen. Tonight: Follow the music.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ++++ Use caution with funds, as you could lose money when you least expect to. Tonight: Out late.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ++++ Check out the facts, and make sure you’re heading in the right direction. Tonight: Go caroling or share some eggnog.
