COURAGE TO OPPOSE TREACHERY Abundant

ash trees in danger

Lawrence horticulturist fears emerald ash borer could wreak havoc here

By Chad Lawhorn Twitter: @clawhorn_ljw

Thousands of colorful ash trees in Lawrence could be at risk of becoming piles of firewood, or worse, as a tree-destroying beetle works its way toward Douglas County, the city’s top horticulturist said.

The insect that arborists and others We easily are keeping an eye have 3,000 to on is the emerald ash borer. It has made its 4,000 ash trees way to the Kansas in Lawrence.”

City metro area, and Crystal Miles, horticulture manager for — Mark Hecker, assistant the city’s Parks and director of parks and Recreation Depart- recreation ment, said the beetle is expected to show up in Douglas County in the next one to two years.

When it does, Lawrence’s tree landscape may look quite a bit different.

“It will be highly, highly noticeable on the trees that it takes,” said Mark Hecker, the city’s assistant director of parks and recreation. “We easily have 3,000 to 4,000 ash trees in Lawrence.”

Currently, Miles said there is no way to prevent the ash borer from attacking a tree.

There are some pesticide-based treatment methods available once a tree has been infected, but they could require about a $100 treatment every one to two years for the life of the tree.

“It will be a challenge,” Miles said. “We’ll really have to prioritize what trees we want to save.”

Miles said a preliminary inventory shows that there are a little more than 1,000 ash trees in city parks and right-of-ways.

Miles’ office is working on a draft plan of how to proceed once the ash borer arrives in the city.

One option is to try to keep healthy ash trees that are larger than 8 inches in diameter but less than 20 inches in diameter. Other ash trees not meeting that criteria would be removed to help prevent the spread of the insects. Based on current numbers only about 100 of the 1,000 city-owned ash trees would meet the criteria to be saved.

A final determination on how the city will deal with the issue likely won’t come for another few months, and may end up being a budget issue for city commissioners this summer.

Miles is estimating the city may need to spend more than $90,000 a year just to treat trees, remove trees and plant new trees as a result of the disease. The costs likely will grow beyond that because the city and county probably will be required by state regulators to create a quarantined wood lot to properly dispose of the diseased trees.

Homeowners who have ash trees will have to make their own determinations about whether to try to save a tree or remove it. Parks and recreation officials said tree owners should count on having to deal with the insects.

“We know they’re coming,” said Ernie Shaw, the city’s leader of parks and recreation.

“We just don’t know when.”

The ash borer already is active in at least 20 states and is expected to change the landscape dramatically in some.

“I’ve been to conferences where they have said if you haven’t been to the Smoky Mountains, you had better go now because in 10 years it will be a completely different landscape,” Shaw said.

The disease wasn’t on the radar of American arborists decades ago when ash trees were being recommended as a good tree to plant in Lawrence because of its resistance to drought.

The ash borer is native to parts of China and Russia, and it first was

The incoming emerald ash borer poses a major threat to the trees, a city horticulturist says. introduced in America in 2002. The current thinking is it came over in wooden shipping pallets.

Once they arrived in America the insects spread by flying, attaching to vehicles or being transported in firewood or other wood debris, Miles said. The state’s Department of Agriculture has instituted certain quarantines that have prevented live ash trees from being brought from out of state, and also more localized quarantines in the Kansas City metro area that are designed to stop ash material from those counties spreading to other Kansas counties.

fected, it often starts to show signs of twig dieback in the canopy or other branches of the tree, and signs of exit borer holes also may be evident on parts of the tree.

City officials said there are ash trees in virtually every part of the city, and they certainly have been popular trees in several city parks.

“There are probably 10 of them in South Park alone,” Hecker said. “It is something we’re definitely going to have to think about.”

Program gives people homes for the holidays

LAWRENCE RESIDENT SHINE ADAMS CREATED a nonprofit called Sun Cedar that inspires and empowers at-risk members of the community in a continuing effort to provide them with employment.

Fresh approach to work

By Caitlin Doornbos

Twitter: @CaitlinDoornbos

The idea started in a basement.

Lawrence resident Shine Adams was consoling a friend, recently released from prison, who was detailing the difficulties of finding a job with a criminal record. Adams was inspired to do something more to help.

Adams, a Lawrence Community Shelter case worker and avid carpenter, offered his friend a paying gig earlier this year cleaning up his basement so it could be converted to a woodshop to build guitars.

But Adams knew the problem wouldn’t go away once every last cobweb was swept — and he knew

This holiday season, Victoria Wilson and her three children put up a hot pink, purple and silver Christmas tree, making a huge statement this very first year they were able to decorate their own house for the holidays.

With the help of Tenants to Homeowners Inc., Wilson was able to purchase her own home this fall and finally move her family from the cramped twobedroom apartment where they had been living for years.

For Wilson, her new house is more than walls and doors and floors. It’s a symbol that her fam- Wilson ily is now moving forward in life, not stuck in place. “I am so grateful for this home, that it’s restored our inner peace,” she said.

“We were growing, growing, growing, but we couldn’t move on.”

The reason? Housing costs were too high for Wilson to qualify for a mortgage. “I would drive around Lawrence, and the houses were listed at $150,000 or $160,000, and that was out of my range,” said Wilson, who was recently promoted to supervisor of the internal support group at General Dynamics Information Technology in Lawrence.

But through Tenants to Homeowner’s Lawrence Community Housing Trust Program, Wilson was able to purchase one of the agency’s resale homes, which sell for below market value. The Lawrence-Douglas Housing Authority helped her with her down payment.

Tenants to Homeowners, a community partner of United Way of Douglas County that receives funding through United Way’s selfsufficiency goal, is focused on helping Douglas County residents find and keep quality, lowcost housing. To do so, the organization acquires homes, then sells or rents them below market value to income-qualified people, said Rebecca Buford, executive director of Tenants to Homeowners.

Agenda CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Brownback’s first term was marked by passage of sweeping tax cuts that he said would stimulate the Kansas economy, although critics say the cuts have done little except put the state in a dangerous financial position.

He also enacted a major overhaul of the state’s $3-billion-per-year Medicaid system by putting the two most expensive groups of Medicaid recipients, the elderly and disabled, under a new managed care system known as KanCare, which is now managed by private insurance companies.

School finance But Brownback said the issue that resonated most during the campaign was

education funding, and that’s an area he hopes to focus on again in his second term.

“The big piece that I thought really hurt during the election cycle that wasn’t true was about education funding,” Brownback said. “That’s the piece that just was … that’s what Paul Davis ran on, was education funding. And we’d increased it.”

That claim has been the source of considerable dispute, both in the Statehouse and among the general public. Overall, total state funding for K-12 education did increase during his first term, from $2.97 billion when he came into office in 2011 to $3.18 billion this year.

But that was largely the result of increased state funding for the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System, which includes school employee pensions,

and the Kansas Supreme Court ruling in March ordering the state to increase particular kinds of funding that targets lower-wealth districts.

On the other hand, “base” funding for schools — the money distributed on a per-pupil basis that pays for general, day-to-day operating expenses for schools — has gone down by about $21 million over that same period, due mainly to a cut in the base-aid formula that resulted when Congress phased out federal stimulus money it had been sending to states during the Great Recession.

Early in his first term, Brownback proposed a sweeping overhaul of the formula used to calculate base state aid. And while that plan never got out of a legislative committee, Brownback says he wants to take another swing at it in the coming session.

sue that received much less public attention: developing a long-term “vision for the future of water supply in Kansas.”

That plan addresses a wide range of needs in the state, from the dwindling groundwater resources in the Ogallala Aquifer in western Kansas to the large reservoirs in eastern Kansas that are filling with sediment due to soil erosion.

It also suggests several strategies for extending the life of the state’s water resources, ranging from encouraging voluntary reductions in irrigation farming in western Kansas and developing hybrid crops that demand less water, to stabilizing stream banks to prevent lakes from silting up, and even dredging out some reservoirs.

Water vision But the question of how Brownback also spent those projects should be considerable energy dur- funded remains open, and ing his first term on an is- Brownback said local com-

“My opinion of it hasn’t changed,” he said. “It’s broken. It reminds me of a policy bill that you don’t fundamentally deal with, and you just keep adding things onto over the years.

The Farm Bill gets that way over time, where you just keep adding and adding.

After a number of years, people don’t understand, why do you do it this way?”

But the governor offered few details about what kinds of changes he thinks should be made.

“To me, we ought to just open the whole thing up,” he said. “It’s just that the formula has grown very complex, convoluted (and) questionable.”

Republican legislative leaders have also called for rewriting the formula.

Please see TENANTS, page 4A

munities may need to bear a significant portion of the cost, especially when it comes to dredging out lakes.

“The vision I have for it is, you’ve got several reservoirs that have some needs, and you put out requests for proposals in the area saying, who can step up with some funds to help us do this,” Brownback said.

“It’s not unlike what we’ve done on the NBAF facility (National Bio and AgroDefense Facility) federally, where we had to put up more funds because we really thought this was an important thing for the state of Kansas for our future.”

Brownback said he hopes to start tackling school finance and the water plan in the 2015 session, which begins Jan. 12. More details of his plans are expected to be unveiled in his State of the State address, scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Jan. 15.

there were many more in the community faced with similar problems.

So the two began “playing around� in the new woodshop, Adams said, breathing in the comforting scent of the cedar wood Adams had purchased for his next instrument. Adams and his friend sketched out a little pine tree in the wood, cut it and hung it by a string as an air freshener. Suddenly, Adams had found his next big idea. “Maybe I could start a business helping people who need jobs?� Adams said.

Adams began employing his friend and a few others who lived at the community shelter to help make and sell his all-natural air freshener creations.

They called the business Sun Cedar.

Sun Cedar air fresheners are made entirely from repurposed cedar wood and dipped in natural cedar oil. They fill small spaces like cars with a rich, warm scent.

As the business kicks up off the ground, Adams has been paying his employees $15 an hour out of his own pocket. But Adams has such faith in the operation, he doesn’t mind. “I’ve been spending my life’s savings on this,�

Adams said. “I believe in it. There’s no reason we couldn’t be a solvent, sufficient business and take care of our employees.�

Adams was inspired to live a life of giving back after coming to Kansas for rehabilitation after struggling with alcoholism, he said. When he left treatment, he went to school at Kansas University to study social work and began volunteering at the community shelter. “I lived such a life of drama and self-serving, it was easy to begin this new life,� Adams said. “Living a life of service means I can go to bed every night

winter wheat harvest before late spring rains eased drought conditions just in time to green up pastures and sustain bountiful fall crops of corn, soybeans and sorghum. Cattle producers enjoyed unprecedented high livestock prices coupled with plunging feed costs.

Twenty-five-year-old Abraham White Weasel is one of Sun Cedar’s grateful employees. He came to Lawrence a few years ago to attend Haskell Indian Nations University, but dropped out after a rough first semester. After searching for work for years, White Weasel said he found himself in a dark place.

That’s when Adams approached him with a job offer that would help him reclaim his independence.

He works part time at Sun Cedar, intricately tracing power blades along the fine outlines of sketched pine trees. He has now earned enough to enroll at Johnson County Community College next semester. “I went to Job Corps in South Dakota and learned carpentry, so this comes pretty easy to me,� White Weasel said. “If I had a job earlier, it could have helped out a lot. I’m glad to be at Sun Cedar.�

But the business isn’t supposed to be an end-all, be-all for its employees.

Adams said Sun Cedar employs those seeking income while they look for more permanent positions. Adams’ friend is Sun Cedar’s first success story.

The man now works as a manager at a business in Topeka, Adams said.

To help ensure employees are striving for future success, everyone who works at Sun Cedar — including management — submits to drug and alcohol testing. “The idea is to give a chance, not subsidize bad behavior,� Adams said. “But that doesn’t mean I’m not open to giving third or fourth chances. Sometimes you have to make tough decisions.�

Sun Cedar currently employs about six parttime employees, but Adams wants the operation to grow to provide opportunities for full-time, paid positions. Sun Cedar air fresheners, $7.50 each, can be purchased at www.suncedar.com or by calling 913-370-2005.

EDITORIALS

Many meetings The Lawrence City Commission has more meetings than commissions in some larger Kansas cities. Is that a plus or a problem?

L

awrence city commissioners will get in one last meeting before the end of the year when they meet briefly to approve some bills Tuesday morning.

They also took a pre-Christmas break by skipping last week’s meeting.

However, a week without a City Commission meeting is the exception to the rule in Lawrence. The commission usually takes one week off in months that have five Tuesdays but, other than that, the group can be found discussing and conducting business at City Hall every Tuesday night, plus occasional study sessions on specific issues.

That makes Lawrence a bit of an oddity among Kansas cities, at least those surveyed recently by Lawrence city staff members. Commissioners are considering moving up the start time of their meetings and were interested in when and how often commissions in other Kansas cities meet.

City staff looked at five other cities — Lenexa, Manhattan, Olathe, Overland Park and Topeka — and found that none of those cities have weekly commission meetings. Olathe and Overland Park meet twice a month and have study sessions when necessary. Topeka meets three times a month. Lenexa has regular meetings on the first and third Tuesdays of the month and regular study sessions on the second and fourth Tuesdays. Manhattan does the same thing but also has a meeting every third Thursday with the Riley County Commission. (Monthly meetings with the county commission? There’s an idea Lawrence might consider.)

Most of these cities are considerably larger than Lawrence. It sort of makes you wonder why our City Commission needs so many meetings. If we were being negative, we could say Lawrence is too process-oriented or our residents raise too many contentious issues. To look at it more positively, however, you could say that Lawrence residents are unusually engaged in and concerned about their city and the matters before the commission. There’s no doubt that Lawrence has a strong sense of community, which may be reflected in the importance people attach to city deliberations.

Lawrence city commissioners and staff have learned by hard experience what can happen when they seek to shortcut their decision-making process.

Consider the recent flap over placing a Rock Chalk Park payment on the consent agenda or the situation in 2007 involving the approval in a closed session of some incentives offered to a local pharmaceutical firm.

It’s true Lawrence has no shortage of meetings, including City Commission meetings, but we have only ourselves to blame. For better or worse, Lawrence likes to look at issues from every angle — and that takes time.

U.S.-Cuba thaw may shift tourism One of the big questions following President Barack Obama’s decision to significantly expand U.S. tourism to Cuba will be how much it will affect other Caribbean tourism destinations such as the Dominican Republic, Jamaica or Cancun, Mexico.

Independent experts say Cancun will be among the most hurt.

According to a 2011 International Monetary Fund study called “The Vacation

Andres Oppenheimer aoppenheimer@miamiherald.com

“

The study said that a blanket lifting of the U.S. embargo on travel to the island … would result in 3.5 million to 5 million U.S. tourists to Cuba a year.”

Is Over: Implications for the Caribbean of Opening U.S.– Cuba Tourism,” by former senior IMF economist Rafael Romeu, “the opening of Cuba to U.S. tourism would represent a seismic shift in the Caribbean’s tourism industry.”

The study said that a blanket lifting of the U.S. embargo on travel to the island — it has not happened yet, and is not likely to happen in the short run — would result in 3.5 million to 5 million U.S. tourists to Cuba a year.

As for the rest of the Caribbean, there would be winners and losers. Overall, the net effect would be an increase of up to 4 percent in total tourism to Caribbean destinations, because Cuba’s hotels would not have enough rooms to absorb the

massive influx of Americans, and tourists from Europe, Canada and Latin America would most likely seek other destinations, the study said.

Earlier this week, I called Romeu and asked him about the possible impact of Obama’s new policy to relax travel restrictions, while the overall U.S. travel embargo — it can only be lifted by the U.S. Congress — remains in place.

Romeu, who has since left the IMF and now is president of Devtech, an economic analysis firm, said his conclusions remain the same, although the “seismic shift” he predicted in the study will be much more gradual in nature.

Currently, there are up to 650,000 U.S. visitors to Cuba a year, of which more than 550,000 are Cuban-Americans who travel under family visit visas.

Under Obama’s new exceptions to the travel embargo, the number of non-Cuban American U.S. visitors may triple to about 300,000 over the next three or four years, he estimates.

But, rather than a disaster for other Caribbean destinations, Romeu says there will be a spill-over effect that will benefit several Caribbean destinations.

“Once Americans start

going to Cuba en masse, many of the 1 million Canadians who travel to Cuba every year will seek other Caribbean destinations, because Cuba will have capacity constraints and prices will go up,” Romeu told me.

Among the big winners will be the Dominican Republic and other countries that have long catered to Canadian and European tourists.

“If you are an Italian and you won’t go to Cuba because it has become too expensive or you didn’t find an hotel room, you will probably go to the Dominican Republic, or other places that haven’t been invaded by U.S. tourists,” Romeu said.

Among the biggest losers will be Cancun, Aruba and the U.S. Virgin Islands, which attract mostly U.S. visitors, Romeu said. “If they don’t diversify, or lower their prices, they will get hurt,” he said.

The World Tourism Organization shares the view that, overall, the influx of U.S. tourists to Cuba will be a plus for the Caribbean.

Carlos Vogeler, head of the WTO’s Americas department, told me that “Cuba’s full entry into the game can strengthen the Caribbean’s position as a tourism destination in the global context.

We have seen in similar cas-

es in the past that the entry of a new competitor helps a market grow.”

Obama’s new policy comes at a good time for the Caribbean, he said. After several years of moderate growth, international tourism to Caribbean destinations will grow 6 percent this year, above the world average of 4 percent.

My opinion: Obama’s measures to relax travel restrictions to Cuba may be a blessing in disguise for Caribbean countries and Mexico.

An overnight lifting of the travel embargo would have produced an avalanche of U.S. tourists to Cuba that would have crippled Cancun and other Caribbean tourism resorts. But since the flow of U.S. tourists to Cuba will grow gradually, they will have time to prepare themselves for the new reality.

The question is whether they will diversify their clienteles or re-invent themselves as something more than sun and beach destinations, for instance building up adventure tourism or medical tourism industries.

While Cuba’s opening will be gradual, they would make a big mistake by not starting to prepare for it now.

Role of East Lawrence group defended YOUR TURN

By Mick Palmer

I’m a resident of East Lawrence, and live directly on the prospective “arts corridor” along Ninth Street. While I’m not a member of the East Lawrence Neighborhood Association board or a regular attendee of its meetings, I know many of its board members, and I’m very concerned with what I see as misunderstandings, and even outright distortions, of the positions of the ELNA board with respect to this project.

I was at the recent ELNA meeting at New York School attended by 100 or more people, including city commissioners, city staff and the prospective lead design team. At that meeting (where no one spoke against improvements to Ninth Street) it was proposed that one or more members of the neighborhood, under the auspices of ELNA, be hired to canvass and communicate with the entire neighborhood and attend all meetings pertaining to the project. Interacting with other “stakeholders,” all of whom would be paid representatives of whomever they represent, would be very time-consuming.

That’s not something that should be

expected of an unpaid volunteer, especially since there is a $500,000 grant intended specifically to cover the costs of that planning.

There has been a good deal of criticism of how representative of the neighborhood ELNA really is. Some of that criticism is valid. The participation rate in community organizations and representative bodies is quite low. Our current mayor (as well as other city commission members) was chosen by no more than 10 percent of eligible voters. That low participation rate by voters certainly does call into question how representative the commission can be of the city’s entire population. But that doesn’t mean that any critics of the commission are any more representative, or legitimate, no matter how valid their criticism.

Similarly, while participation in ELNA, at board meetings or board elections, is relatively low, it is the ONLY organization in East Lawrence that makes a concerted effort to involve the entire neighborhood in its

deliberations. It does so through newsletters sent by mail and email, to every household in East Lawrence, and well-publicized monthly meetings in public buildings. Any resident or property owner in the neighborhood who chooses may participate. You can learn more about the organization at its website: eastlawrence.com If this project were merely about improvements to Ninth Street, this would likely not be much of an issue at all. But this is about transforming the street into a “destination,” for purposes much larger than just a transit route thru East Lawrence. None of my neighbors I have spoken with has any objections to improving Ninth Street.

But anything beyond that has the potential to transform the neighborhood in ways that aren’t acceptable for those of us who live here because we consider it “home” rather than a mere speculative venture. How the neighborhood will be represented in the planning remains undetermined. I understand the recent proposal from ELNA as just that: a proposal, not a “demand.” Portraying it as some sort of power grab is an unfair distortion that won’t advance this process.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Dec. 29, 1914: “‘The day of the so-called “roughneck” sailor who on approaching years shore climbed a mast, waved his ago then went ashore and got IN 1914 hands, drunk is fast passing away,’ says Lieut. II. S. Burdick, U. S. N., who is visiting in Lawrence with his uncle, Dr. William L. Burdick, 916 Kentucky. ‘There has come to be so much mechanical work aboard the ship; so much of the work is done by electricity, that the sailor of only average intelligence will absorb enough knowledge to acquire a practical education that will enable him to succeed in a life ashore,’ said Lieut. Burdick. ‘Also the old happy-go-lucky spirit is not so much in evidence as in former years. The

navy is being built up of men who are serious and in the service as a life work.’… During the recent American occupation of Vera Cruz Lieut. Burdick was in command of the torpedo boat destroyer Jouette…. Lieut. Burdick is a graduate of the class of 1909 at the United States Naval Academy and has spent the last year of his service on board the Jouett. The plans for his ship are to sail around from the east coast to San Francisco to be there at the official opening of the Panama exposition.”

Hailed as ‘heroes’ The massacre was on Nov. 29, 1864. About 700 Indians were in the chiefs’ winter camp along Sand Creek that day. Many were women and children.

As Col. John Chivington, a Methodist preacher and abolitionist, and about 700 soldiers entered the village, they disregarded the greetings of welcome and white flags and began to fire indiscriminately at the Indians in the surprise attack.

From 160 to 200 Indians died that day. Another 200 were wounded. Many of those died later, historians say.

The soldiers mutilated the bodies, taking scalps and cutting off body parts.

One toddler who was trying to follow his family was used as target practice. A soldier used an ax to cut off a woman’s arm, and then holding the other arm, he slammed the ax into her skull, witnesses told Congress.

The soldiers were hailed as heroes when they arrived back in Denver from the Battle of Sand Creek, and the body parts were put on display in the saloons.

It was initially believed that the soldiers had been in a true battle and had bested “brutal savages.”

But three weeks later, Soule and Cramer wrote letters to their commanding officer, Maj. Edward “Ned” Wynkoop, who had promised military protection to Indians but was at Fort Riley, Kan., when the massacre took place.

“The letters are terribly, terribly moving and disturbing,” said David Halaas, former chief historian of the Colorado Historical Society, now known as History Colorado. “These letters circulated in Washington, D.C., and pretty soon people began questioning whether the stories about Chivington were true, was it a battle or was it a massacre.”

Eventual understanding The letters led to investigations by two congressional committees and an army commission, historians said. Soule was the first person to testify in the hearings.

On April 23, 1865, he was shot to death in Denver.

Although Soule’s killer was known, he was never tried for the crime.

“It was instantly recognized that Soule was killed because of his testimony,” Halaas said. “He not only wrote the letters, but he testified before the Army commission.”

The Army committee on the conduct of the war condemned the military action, calling the surprise attack cold-blooded murder.

“They declared it a great shame of the United

Honored for risk Each year the Cheyenne and Arapaho, in remembrance of the massacre, hold a 200-mile relay run to remember Soule and Cramer.

“The Indians honor him because if it hadn’t been for what he did, some of them wouldn’t be here today because their ancestors would have been killed instead of saved,” Strom said.

Strom said Soule’s fate could have been different.

On Aug. 21, 1863, Soule’s family, including Soule’s older brother, who was Lawrence’s marshal, was living at 724 Rhode Island St., when Quantrill’s raiders descended on the city.

The family fled to the Kansas River bluffs to hide. One of Soule’s sisters was teaching school at Kanwaka and could see the town burning.

From 185 to 200 men and boys were killed that day by the guerrilla fighters.

The Soules’ house partially burned. The family wrote him asking if he could return to Lawrence to help, Strom said. After much consideration, Soule decided to stay in Colorado.

Ten years later, Soule, now a captain in the U.S. Cavalry, found himself in another American horror story.

At the scene of what would become one of the bloodiest massacres in U.S. history, Soule’s commander ordered soldiers to kill the Native Americans camped along Sand Creek, about 30 miles west of the Kansas border in the Colorado Territory.

Soule and Lt. Joseph A. Cramer not only disobeyed the colonel, but ordered their battalions to stand down as the rest of the cavalry tortured and slaughtered 160 to 200 natives, two-thirds of them women and children. Soule’s testimony in hearings several months later led to his own assassination in Denver, historians say.

This month, as part of the 150th anniversary of the Sand Creek Massacre, Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper and hundreds of Arapaho and Cheyenne Indians took part in ceremonies to commemorate Soule’s actions and those of others who sought justice after the massacre.

Hickenlooper, who read from a letter by Soule describing the massacre, also apologized for the actions of then Gov. John Evans and others who set up the situation that allowed such an atrocity to happen, he said.

“I am here to offer something that has been too long in coming,” Hickenlooper said during a speech Dec. 3 at the state’s capitol.

“I want to say, I am sorry for the atrocity that our government and its agents visited upon your ancestors.”

Indian leaders invited Soule’s great-great-nephew Byron Strom, of Des Moines, a retired chemistry teacher, to read a letter his uncle wrote vividly describing the massacre as part of one of the ceremonies that took place at Riverside Cemetery where Soule is buried.

“I have to pay particular attention to my emotions when I read (the letter), as you can imagine,” Strom said. “It’s humbling. I wonder what, if I were in his shoes, what I would have done. It’s a difficult thing to go against your commander.”

Strom said he has two cousins, also descendants of the original Soule family, who still live in the Lawrence area. An aunt, Martha Smith, who lived in Vinland, died this year at age 108.

States,” Halaas said.

But Chivington had retired from the military, and no charges were ever brought against him or anyone else.

Soule’s letter, and Cramer’s, disappeared, and so did much of the memory of the massacre, said Halaas.

Instead, Chivington, when he died many years later, was given a hero’s burial.

A plaque in the Denver capital lists the Battle of Sand Creek as one of the major civil war battles in the Colorado Territory.

In 2000, U.S. Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell was trying to reestablish that Sand Creek was the site of a massacre. He had gotten the government to commission a study and now he was trying to get Congress to designate the Sand Creek battleground a historic site because of the massacre. But his bill was stalled.

Halaas was scheduled to testify in Washington about the massacre when Linda Reebek, of Evergreen, Colo., came to his office, he said. She had found some papers in an old trunk. Among the papers was an official transcript of the letters.

Halaas took them to Washington and read them in the hearing where several senators, including John Warner, were moved by the horror.

“The bill passed in four weeks,” Halaas said, and the Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site became a part of the U.S. National Parks Service.

Beaty already reaping rewards ——

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Back to work

KU football coach making most of relationships

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

In the three weeks since David Beaty was named Kansas University’s head football coach, there have been a dozen or so examples of his past and current relationships paying off in the recruiting game.

But few of them are as eye-opening and indicative of how strong these bonds are as the events that led to the mid-year signing of Brandon Stewart.

Stewart, a 5-foot-11, 175-pound cornerback from Trinity Valley Community College who appeared bound for California, first began exploring the idea of signing with Kansas when his high school coach, Cedar Hill (Texas) High’s Joey McGuire, told him about Beaty.

“I mean, you’re talking about the corner who’s at Cal when we’re talking to him, and he’s hearing from his coach that he shouldn’t make a decision without at least coming and talking to us,” Beaty recalled. “You don’t get a kid to do that without his head coach calling him up and saying, ‘Hey, listen, you need to call up and talk to this guy. I know him. I know what he stands for. And it might be a fit.

Why don’t you give him a few minutes?’”

The reason McGuire was so confident — not to mention comfortable — that Beaty would make a good impression on Stewart was because of the longstanding friendship between the two.

But there’s much more to the story than this just being a case of one pal helping out another.

“Joey McGuire’s one of my best friends in the world,” Beaty said. “I mean, we talk on my phone every night like little girls until we fall asleep.

It’s that type of deal.”

During the week of Stewart’s signing, Beaty reached out to McGuire on the Monday before Cedar Hill played Katy for the third year in a row in the Texas Class 6A Division II state title game.

“He’s fixing to play for a state championship; it’s the third year in a row he’s playing Katy High School for the title, so it’s the rubber match,” Beaty explained.

“Katy won one, Joey won one, and this (was) the third one. You know what he’s doing on Monday? He’s talking to me about Brandon Stewart and telling me everything I Please see BEATY, page 4B

YOUNG BASKETBALL PLAYERS WORK ON DRIBBLING DRILLS WITH FRANK MASON III, CENTER, during the Kansas University men’s basketball Holiday Clinic on Sunday at Allen Fieldhouse.

Jayhawks hit court, hold youth camp

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University’s basketball players, who had already completed four practices in three days — including one that started at 8:30 a.m. Sunday — returned to the Allen Fieldhouse floor to work with 500 youths for three hours Sunday afternoon.

“Not really,” KU junior forward Jamari Traylor said, asked if he was worn out entering the Jayhawks’ annual holiday clinic for boys and girls in first through sixth grades. “I’m the ‘energy guy,’ so it shouldn’t be that hard for me to come out here and have a good time with little kids. We’re in holiday time. I know these kids are out here to have a good time, and I want to do the same thing.”

It’s interesting the 6-foot8 Traylor referred to himself as the energy guy just a few minutes after coach Bill Self told reporters, “We only have to me one guy playing with great energy right now.”

That person, one of the few to compete to Self’s satisfaction during Monday’s 77-52 road loss to Temple, is Traylor.

“Frank (Mason) has been our best player, without question. Frank played well against Temple offensively, but Jamari, from an effort standpoint ... he brings it every day,” Self said.

Self, who awarded his players three days off for the holidays following the Tem-

PARTICIPANTS IN THE KU MEN’S BASKETBALL HOLIDAY CLINIC run a gauntlet of Jayhawk players. ple loss, gathered the troops for a Friday night practice.

All 15 players were in attendance, with nobody having travel delays.

“The first practice was fine.

The guys came back, (and) all had good attitudes,” Self said. “It’s not the most fun

time of the year for players to be away from their families and their friends when everybody is back home for the holidays where they are from. They are here living in the gym, but we need to be doing that.”

Self said the Jayhawks

“watched the tape (of Temple loss) as a group the first night we got back so that way we could put it behind us and not talk about it again.

There are a lot of reasons we didn’t play well. Obviously, we didn’t get them ready to play. I think the break may have had a little bit to do with it. The biggest thing is, we played with no enthusiasm, no energy and no passion, and we looked really slow.

Unfortunately for us, it was a pitiful night for us.”

Self was asked if the reason for the loss that dropped the team to 9-2 was the players perhaps looking ahead to their three-day vacations.

“I think, yes, they were ready to go home and see their families. I’m not going to make excuses for our guys at all. We don’t talk like this, (but) it was not very smart to play Lafayette Saturday, travel and not practice really, and play them on Monday. We added to the lack of energy by also being a tired team,” Self said.

“The first half was bad (with KU down 35-25), but not awful. The second half was just horrific (42-27 Temple),” Self added of the KU defense. “They made hard shots, too. They made a bunch of guarded shots.

We’re just not very good defensively or offensively right now statistically. We have to have everybody playing with great energy. You can make mental mistakes defensively.

Chiefs down Chargers, miss playoffs

CHIEFS LINEBACKER DEE FORD CELEBRATES after sacking San Diego quarterback Philip Rivers in the Chiefs’ 19-7 victory on Sunday in Kansas City, Missouri.

Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — In a world of smartphones, text messages and Twitter, there’s a good chance that just about everybody inside Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday knew about the Chiefs’ precarious postseason position.

Well, except for the Chiefs.

Even as they were knocking the San Diego Chargers from contention with a 19-7 victory, they refused to ask

about what was transpiring elsewhere.

It was only later that they learned just how close they were to hitting on a threeteam parlay — Baltimore getting beat by Cleveland and Houston losing to Jacksonville — that would have gotten them into the playoffs.

“Nobody knew. Nobody wanted to know,” said the Chiefs’ Chase Daniel, who started in place of injured

quarterback Alex Smith. “We were focused on the game at hand, the task at hand.”

By the time the Chiefs got to their locker room, though, they knew: The Ravens and Texans both rallied in the second half for victories, giving Baltimore the final AFC wild-card spot.

“We end up missing the playoffs,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said, “so while it’s fresh in the players’ minds, it’s important that

they feel how important every game is in this league.

There’s so much parity in the league and these games are so close.”

Justin Houston had four sacks for the Chiefs (9-7) to break Derrick Thomas’ franchise record with 22 on the season. Cairo Santos kicked four field goals, and Daniel threw for 157 yards without an interception. l Summary on page 4B

Santa Clara, Calif. (ap) — Jim Harbaugh gathered his players and told them he is leaving, and they joined their voices for one final, familiar chant: “Who’s got it better than us? No-body!”

“The last, ‘Who’s got it better than us?’ I said it as loud as I could,” said wide receiver Michael Crabtree, who could soon follow the San Francisco coach’s departure.

Harbaugh will not fulfill the final season of his $25 million, five-year contract coaching the 49ers that he signed in January 2011, reaching a mutual agreement with the team to part ways. The announcement came after Sunday’s 20-17 win over the Arizona Cardinals and following a 8-8

season in which San Francisco had hoped to establish some momentum in new $1.3 billion Levi’s Stadium.

“It’s been the time of my life,” Harbaugh said. “Been a lot of great memories, great moments. ... It’s been a tremendous four years, it’s been a pleasure to work and serve for this organization. I feel great about what we accomplished.”

Harbaugh wouldn’t say whether he is indeed about to accept the job at alma mater, Michigan, except to offer vague hints and say he wouldn’t be around come Monday.

When asked specifically about taking over the Wolverines program, he said, “There will be announcements made concerning those things.”

Might he miss the NFL if he moves to Ann Arbor?

“Is the NFL going somewhere?” Harbaugh quipped.

The unraveling of 2014 began months ago, almost a year back, really. San Francisco lost in the NFC championship game last January at Seattle, then watched the rival Seahawks go on to win it all.

Shortly after, CEO Jed York acknowledged the Cleveland Browns inquired about trading for Harbaugh.

The 49ers saw thousands of empty seats at most games this season. San Francisco was eliminated from playoff contention with a 17-7 loss at Seattle on Dec. 14, its second defeat to the rival Seahawks in an 18day stretch.

Jets 37, Dolphins 24 Miami Gardens, Fla. — Geno Smith had his best game in a rocky season, throwing for a careerhigh 358 yards and three touchdowns in what might be Rex Ryan’s final game as Jets coach.

The game was entertaining but mostly meaningless because it involved two teams out of the playoff chase. And with the Jets sitting out the postseason for the fourth consecutive year, owner Woody Johnson is widely expected to fire Ryan, and perhaps general manager John Idzik.

KU WOMEN’S BASKETBALL GLANCE When: 7 p.m. today Where: Allen Fieldhouse Who: Kansas vs. Samford Series: First meeting

No place like home All eight of the Jayhawks’ victories have come at home this season and KU is 8-1 at Allen Fieldhouse. Adding to that total shouldn’t be too difficult against a Southern Conference team in Samford that has lost four of its last six — dropping games to Troy, Auburn, Tulane and UCLA, with a blowout victory over UAB and a 13-point win against Alabama State mixed in. Samford’s RPI is 236th in the nation (KU ranks 93rd), and the Bulldogs have failed to hit their 60.5 points per game average in four straight games.

Streaking Backup freshman guard Terriell Bradley went for a career-high 21 points in KU’s overtime loss at Creighton a week ago. The 5-foot-7 guard from Arlington, Texas, made six of her 10 field-goal attempts, including 2-for-5 from three-point range, and was even better at the freethrow line, where she nailed all seven attempts. Bradley also passed out four assists, matching her season and career highs.

Slumping Though senior guard Asia Boyd comes off the bench for Kansas, she averages 22.5 minutes a game and is a capable scorer, having averaged 11.0 points per game as a junior. Boyd has played three straight games without

scoring in double figures. The 6-1 senior from Detroit has averaged 6.0 points in the process, while making seven of 17 shot attempts in 75 minutes of action.

Beaty CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

need to know to make sure I know that he’s the right guy.�

McGuire’s input on Stewart gave Beaty and KU defensive coordinator Clint Bowen the confidence to pursue the player, and his glowing review of Beaty helped Stewart believe KU was the right fit. “Those are relationships that, if it was me, and I didn’t know the guy, there’s no damn way I’m gonna answer that phone call on Monday,� Beaty said.

Five days after that phone call, Cedar Hill topped Katy, 23-20 in come-from-behind fashion, giving McGuire backto-back state titles and Beaty another reason to smile. These connections with his former Lone Star State colleagues and counterparts are not one-way streets. And because Beaty has given as much to those guys as he has asked from them throughout his career, the rewards are coming in fast and furious now that Beaty is running his own program again. “I’ll be honest with you, I didn’t have to do anything,� said Beaty, asked how quickly he reached out to several of his closest friends who coach football in Texas. “As soon as I got the (KU) job, there were texts on my phone that said, ‘Listen, I got a couple for you. Come check ’em out.

They’re ready to go.’ So that was good. And that speaks to the relationships, and it speaks to the trust that we have with one another.�

YOUNG JAYHAWK FANS WAIT TO PARTICIPATE in the Kansas University men’s basketball Holiday Clinic on Sunday at Allen Fieldhouse.

Hoops CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

You can not do a lot of things right if you make up for it by being active, aggressive. We are not sound enough yet to not be active and aggressive.

We were very exposed at Temple.�

KU will meet Kent State at 7 p.m. Tuesday in Allen. “I just hope we get better at everything we are trying to do,� Self said. “We need to play faster.

We need to create scoring opportunities off our defense and in transition or off second shots. “We need to tighten up our defense. ... I’d love to play faster. We’ve done a couple things to hopefully help us play faster,� he added. “We don’t get any easy baskets right now. We don’t get it off creating turnovers. We’re not getting it off of rebounding, and we’re not getting it in transition.

Our shooting percentage (41.7) isn’t worse than what it has been in other years other than we need to shoot some layups. If you get three layups a game, instead of shooting

20-of-50, you are 23-of-50, and that all of a sudden is 46 percent instead of 40.

We’re not getting those layups.� l

Tarik to Lakers: Former KU forward Tarik Black, who was released

by Houston on Friday, has been claimed off waivers by the Los Angeles Lakers, ESPN.com reports. To make room for Black, the Lakers released injured former KU guard Xavier Henry, who suffered a season-ending Achilles tendon injury in November. Charlotte also made a bid to acquire Black, Yahoo!Sports reported. “To the fans of the Lakers I am honored and can’t wait to get to work.

Hopefully I can help this team and you guys will enjoy the process,� Black wrote on Twitter.

Hours before Black was picked up by L.A., Self told reporters he had spoken to “a couple teams since he got cut (who wanted to sign Black).� “That (release by Houston) just goes to show you the business. You start 12 of 25 games and because of guaranteed contracts, he’s odd man out when they make an addition to the team (Josh Smith),�

Self stated. “I think he

played well enough and showed well enough that somebody will definitely give him an opportunity to pick him up.�

Black averaged 5.1 rebounds and 4.2 points while logging 15.7 minutes a game in 25 games.

Henry averaged 8.7 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 52 games in two seasons with the Lakers. Yahoo!Sports says Black has a non-guaranteed deal of $500,000 for this season. The Lakers will have a team option of $845,000 for 2015-16. l

Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married for 20 years, and we have three children under 15. He has always been a bit of a night owl, but now, in his mid-50s, he’s turning into my 80-year-old father.

My husband works from 8 a.m. until 5, comes home and eats dinner and then sits on the couch. He falls asleep watching TV and then isn’t tired again until midnight.

He goes to bed and wakes up at 4 a.m. and can’t fall asleep again, so he turns on the TV, falls asleep and is up at 7 a.m. for the day.

I don’t resent him for not helping in the evenings with chores and children, but, Annie, he sleeps when the kids are awake

to bed at 11 p.m. and woke up at 7 a.m., he would get the full eight hours he needs and would be awake when the rest of us are. He won’t entertain any of my suggestions, and it makes him angry even to talk Marcy Sugar and about it. It’s almost as he is cheating on me Kathy Mitchell ifwith the TV.

Annie’s Mailbox

‘Fargo’ is TV’s best of 2014 What’s the best show of the year? Write enough reviews — and I write six columns a week, every week — and you begin to find that question rather pointless. How can you choose amid an onslaught of programming?

How can you single out just one?

That said, I have a favorite show of the year, and that series is FX’s “Fargo.” Compelling from the start, “Fargo” took about five minutes to dispel the doubts of those who dreaded a tepid remake of the remarkable 1996 drama by brothers Joel and Ethan Coen.

Like the original, “Fargo” mixed the dark and violent with the quirky, funny and cosmic. “Fargo” was far more bizarre, bloody, allegorical and challenging than a “normal” show, but it is also much more humane. The extreme violence confronted by Deputy Molly Solverson (Allison Tolman) and her bumbling love interest, Gus (Colin Hanks), was often over-the-top. Yet the show went out of its way to assure us that these events were truly exceptional, oncein-a-lifetime occurrences, not the steady parade of carnage presented on “normal” procedurals like “Criminal Minds” or “Stalker.” ‘‘Fargo” invited viewers to feel protective of Solverson, to genuinely want to shield her from heartbreak and harm. It’s no mean feat to evoke such emotions in a comedy so black and a setting so bleak.

If “Fargo” is my favorite, HBO’s “True Detective” is certainly among the best. As on “Fargo,” this atmospheric thriller unfolded like a novel. Each “Fargo” and “True Detective” episode was scripted by a single writer — Noah Hawley and Nic Pizzolatto, respectively.

Tonight’s other highlights

The gang turns the page on “Happy New Year, Charlie Brown” (7 p.m., ABC).

Acclaimed British stage actress Billie Whitelaw, perhaps best known for her role as Mrs. Baylock in the 1976 shocker “The Omen” (7 p.m., Encore), died last week.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Monday, Dec. 29: This year you are likely to encounter an obstacle or two, especially when dealing with personal or domestic issues. If you are single, you could meet someone quite significant to your life before the end of summer 2015. If you are attached, the two of you act like two peas in a pod.

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) If you wake up with a battle cry in your head, know that you probably were in the midst of a power play for control in your dreams. Tonight: Happily focus on the better parts of your life.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) It is always good to listen to your inner voice to see which direction you should head in. Tonight: Postpone what you can for as long as you can.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You’ll blissfully walk into a situation that might be more intense than you had expected.

Tonight: Communication flourishes.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) A loved one might decide to pick an argument with you in order to draw you in closer. Tonight: Just don’t be alone.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) If you can manage to bypass some of the mental grenades that surround you, you will be a lot happier. Tonight: Try

rest of the night. It has become a vicious cycle that he doesn’t know how to change. He may even have sleep apnea that interferes with his rest at night.

Please approach this like the medical issue it is. Suggest he speak to his doctor and get a referral to a sleep clinic.

some exotic cuisine.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might try to form something solid out of nothing more than loosely related facts and/or feelings. Tonight: Use your sixth sense.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Back away from someone who seems a bit off. Tonight: Hang out with a close pal.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today, everyone will give you an earful as to what he or she thinks is right and will work.

Tonight: Avoid a warring faction.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You seem to have incorporated a little more serenity into your life as of late. Tonight: Do not back off. Reach out to an important friend.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Pressure seems to build around a matter that you must deal with. Tonight: A situation on the domestic front demands your attention.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Know that your responses could be slightly off. Tonight: Try to clear the air.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You will work best with a friend when trying to plan a budget or decide on a gift. Tonight: Take a hard look at your budget, and be sure to count your change.
