PETE BARRETT, WHO WAS A DISC JOCKEY at Northern Illinois University in the 1970s, and his daughter, Katie Barrett, a KU junior and DJ at radio station KJHK, are teaming up for a show today. Their set selection will include songs from a old playlist that Pete compiled during his time in the booth.

Here’s one thing landlords in Lawrence won’t need a license to do: vent.

About 50 landlords showed up at City Hall on Monday afternoon and gave city leaders an earful about a proposal that would expand the city’s rental registration and licensing program to cover essentially every rental unit in the city.

“I think it is just going overboard,” said Rob Farha, a landlord in the Oread neighborhood. “Just like everything, there are good landlords, and there are bad landlords.

I think it There are the is just going tools city has overboard. now to deal with bad Just like landlords.” everything, City Hall there are leaders hostgood land- ed a public forum on lords, and Monday there are to outline bad landa proposal lords.

The proposed program would require large apartment complexes to be licensed and would also cover the large rental districts around Kansas University.

Father-daughter DJ duo to share “ airtime on KJHK this afternoon

By Matt Erickson merickson@ljworld.com

For years, Pete Barrett had hoped his daughter Katie might take an interest in broadcasting, the same field that had called to him.

Growing up, she was an actor, dancer and musician. But this fall, she took a DJ shift at the Kansas University student radio station, just as Pete did back in the late 1970s at Northern Illinois University. And Pete, who lives in Overland Park, made sure to listen, even though her shift was 4 a.m. to 6 a.m. on Thursdays.

“He’s been really into it,” said Katie, a junior at KU. That connection helps explain why if you turn on the KU student station, KJHK, this afternoon, it may sound more like a classic-rock station.

From noon to 4 p.m. today, Pete and Katie will team up to broadcast songs from a playlist Pete prepared during his days as a college DJ about 35 years ago.

Pete found the list, jotted down on the back of a resume he typed

up during college, while packing up for a move during the fall semester. He snapped a picture on his phone and sent it to Katie.

“It was just a slice of a moment in time,” Pete said, or, as one friend called it, “freezedried rock ’n’ roll.”

Katie says she’s not surprised her dad still had it around. He has a weakness for nostalgic artifacts, she said.

“He keeps bills from, like, gas that he paid in the ’70s,” Katie said.

Mixing it up While Katie was home for the holidays, they hatched a plan to play the list on KJHK during a winter-break shift, when DJs are granted freedom to largely do what they want. Each credits the other for the idea.

On the list are some bands Katie had heard of: The Eagles, Aerosmith, Van Halen. And there were some mysteries: Prism, Foghat, George Thorogood (spelled “Thoroughgood” on the handwritten list).

Please see RADIO, page 2A

SELECTIONS FROM PETE BARRETT’S PLAYLIST Some of the songs scrawled on Pete Barrett’s long-lost collegeradio playlist from the late 1970s, which he and his daughter Katie will play on KJHK 90.7 FM today:

“Dream On,” Aerosmith

“Jailbreak,” Thin Lizzy

“Roll with the Changes,” REO

Speedwagon

“Feels Like the First Time” and “Cold as Ice,” Foreigner

“Baba O’Riley,” The Who

“Take the Long Way Home,” Supertramp (“real nice segue” written in the margin)

“Heartache Tonight” and “Those Shoes,” The Eagles

“Armageddon,” Prism

“Move it on Over,” George Thorogood

“Somebody’s Been Sleepin’ in My Bed” and “My Babe,” Foghat

“Hot Legs,” Rod Stewart

“Blue Collar Man,” Styx

“The Last Time,” The Rolling Stones

“Running with the Devil” and “You Really Got Me,” Van Halen

Zenger presses KU’s case for Rock Chalk Park

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

If all goes well during tonight’s vote by the Lawrence City Commission regarding land usage and zoning specifications — as is expected — the Kansas University athletic department could begin construction on what has come to be known as “Rock Chalk Park” within weeks.

Speaking publicly about the issue for the first time, KU athletic director Sheahon Zenger

on Monday shared with the JournalWorld the many reasons behind the university’s eagerness to Zenger begin construction on a $50 million project that will deliver a new home for KU’s soccer, softball and track and field programs.

Those reasons include everything from financial and competitive advantages to important aes-

thetic and long-range visions for the department.

Most critical, however, is the benefit such a move figures to have on KU’s status within college athletics.

“Kansas Athletics, for over a decade, has been searching for a way to address the needs of track and field, soccer and softball,” Zenger said. “Without this opportunity, we would spend the next five to seven, and maybe 10 years, trying to raise $50 million to build these three structures, all the

will cost just $39 million, thanks to the Bliss Sports Foundation, headed by Lawrence developer Thomas Fritzel, which has offered to take the project at a cost of $39 million spread over 30 years.

“We’ve had no one else approach us with that kind of offer,” said Zenger, who added that, as a parent and member of Cost advantage the Lawrence communiPerhaps the best part, ty, he would love nothing at least through the eyes more than to see the city’s of the university, is that plans for a rec center at the $50 million project

while putting the completion of the renovations to Allen Fieldhouse on hold and, even further, putting on hold the renovations to Memorial Stadium. In light of what we’ve witnessed with BCS-conference realignment over the past several years, that would be the most foolish action that we could ever take.”

Library’s ticket to new home booked Staff, patrons offered deals to liven up down time

By Rebekka Schlichting rschlichting@ljworld.com

When you’re about to spend a couple weeks hauling heavy boxes of books across town, it’s important to try to keep things light.

And so, to make its stressful move easier, the Lawrence Public Library created a “fun committee� to help employees and is offering discounts at local businesses to library patrons.

Over the next two weeks, the library will be moving to the former Borders building, 700 New Hampshire St., which will be the temporary public library while the main library building is renovated over the next year. The library closed on Monday and will open in its temporary location around Jan. 21. In between, about 80 library employees will be loading up 225,000 books and other materials for the move. “This is a big job for a staff,� said Kathleen Morgan, executive director of the Lawrence Public Library Foundation. “Injecting a little levity into shipping books around is something that was in order, because there’s a lot going on. If you keep it light and fun, then it’s going to go a lot faster and be a lot more pleasant for all of us.�

The fun committee will be hosting an event each week for the library’s employees and their families. On Sunday night, the committee kicked off its move with its first event: movie night. A few employees gathered at Frank’s North Star Tavern to watch the season premiere of “Downton Abbey.� “I think it’s a wonderful

I’m excited about it. There’s some stuff cooking that sounds like it’ll be fun.�

This Friday, the fun committee promises that a special guest will entertain the employees during lunch. The committee asked that the name of the guest not be revealed, to keep the surprise for employees.

TOPEKA — Gov. Sam Brownback on Monday defended his handling of programs designed to help the poor in the wake of a report that showed during his tenure child poverty has increased while poor families receiving cash assistance from the state had dropped.

Brownback said the 38 percent decrease in families receiving Temporary Assistance to Needy Families was because of people who refused to comply with a requirement that they look for a job. “I think that is a pretty modest requirement,� Brownback said. “The best way to get out of poverty is a job.�

Brownback The Kansas City Star reported over the weekend that the child poverty rate in Kansas had increased from 14.5 percent in 2008 to 18.8 percent.

Approximately 39,000 Kansans received TANF when Brownback took office. Since then, the rolls have decreased by 15,000, including 9,000 children.

Advocates for the poor have said the Brownback administration has implemented rules that make it more difficult for low-income families to receive help.

TANF is designed to help the poorest of the poor. To qualify, families can have annual incomes no greater than 28 percent of the federal poverty level, which for a family of four is approximately $6,500 per year.

Washington changing Kansas farming landscape he has been overwhelmed with calls and emails in support of his stands.

John Pendleton, a Douglas County farmer, said he didn’t “wring my hands� over Huelskamp’s ouster, but he is generally dissatisfied with much of what is happening in Washington. “It’s almost sickening how polarized both ends are,� he said.

Pendleton said one of his challenges is finding enough time to stay involved with local and national politics that affect agriculture while also trying to keep his farm going. “Even though commodity prices have been good, income is still not at a point where you feel like you can take time off to be in-

volved with activities off your own farm,� he said.

But big issues affecting farmers will be front and center for the new Congress, including crafting a farm bill. A trimmeddown, nine-month extension of the 2008 farm bill was approved as part of the “fiscal cliff� bill last week, but farm state lawmakers were not satisfied with it. “The farm bill process is one of a number of things that you can put in the category of government activities that need to happen so that producers have some certainty,�

Holdren said.

individual community. In smaller communities, obviously this is going to be a steeper hill to climb than in a metropolitan area.

Caseworkers do have a certain amount of flexibility,� she said. In addition, she said, mothers with infants in their homes are not held to this requirement.

Brownback said his administration is focused on getting people jobs and providing more stable family situations.

He has also set up a task force to make recommendations on reducing child poverty. At the group’s first meeting, one speaker told the group that “nonmarital births� was a leading cause of child poverty.

Kansas farmers who have been weathering an epic drought now must also deal with a stormy forecast from Congress.

In recent weeks, U.S. Rep. Tim Huelskamp, a Republican from Fowler, has waged a political battle with U.S. House Speaker John Boehner, ROhio. The fight has made Huelskamp a darling of tea party Republicans but has gotten him ousted from the House Agriculture Committee.

And then U.S. Sen. Pat Roberts of Kansas was pushed aside as the top Republican on the Senate Agriculture, Nutrition and

proposal is to charge all rental units in the city a $15 per year license fee.

Landlords, though, would be subject to a $50 per unit inspection fee during the year in which their units are inspected.

The city is designing the system so most units will be inspected once every three years.

The city, though, is proposing an incentive system where half of the inspection fee would be waived if a low number of violations are found at a landlord’s properties.

The city is estimating that the program would generate about $550,000 in revenue each year and have expenses of a little more than $525,000 a year. “We don’t want the program to be a profit center, but we do want it to pay for itself,� Scott McCullough, the city’s director of planning and development services, told the crowd.

Maintaining standards A majority of city commissioners in November directed staff members to begin working on a plan to expand the city’s rental registration program.

Commissioners said they were concerned the city’s current system was allowing too many renters — particularly students — to live in substandard conditions. “I don’t ever want to be in a situation where I have to look a parent in the eye and apologize that they lost a child because an apartment wasn’t up to code,� Mayor Bob Schumm said Monday after listening to the com-

Forestry Committee.

Roberts remains on the committee but relinquished his role as ranking minority party member to U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran, RMiss., who asserted seniority privilege on Agriculture after having been dropped as the top Republican on another committee.

Terry Holdren, general counsel of the Kansas Farm Bureau, said Roberts’ demotion resulted from Senate rules and probably will not affect his influence on the committee and agricultural legislation. “We are confident that on the Senate side of things, Kansas producers will have a voice and continue to be heard,� Holdren said.

But Holdren said Huelskamp’s removal from the House Agriculture Committee is a “distasteful� problem. He said the best way for a congressman to influence legislation is by working on it at the committee level. “No longer having a Kansan on Ag is concerning and unfortunate,� Holdren said.

Since statehood, Kansas has almost always had a representative on the House Agriculture Committee. Now that there isn’t one, Holdren said Kansas farm interests will have to reach out to other committee members who may have similar, Kansastype issues in their home states.

He said Huelskamp’s

removal from the committee has stirred up political talk in the district, commonly referred to as the Big First. It is a heavily rural agricultural district that covers 69 counties, stretching from the western Kansas border all the way to Manhattan and Emporia.

In the eastern part of the district, Holdren has heard “some dissatisfaction� with Huelskamp, while the congressman, starting his second term, remains more popular farther west.

Huelskamp has said he was removed from the committee by the House Republican leadership because he stood for conservative principles, and that

Schumm, though, acknowledged there are many good landlords in the city, and he understands that they are frustrated that they would be required to go through the rental and licensing process.

Several landlords told commissioners that if they are concerned about living conditions, they also should inspect owner-occupied homes for safety violations.

Other landlords said they simply wanted more information from the city. “What are we trying to solve?� asked Matt Hoy, a Lawrence attorney representing the Lawrence Apartment Association, which includes some of the owners of the larger apartment complexes in town. “What are the issues that you think are creating problems? I don’t see that as being a paramount part of this proposal.�

City officials did provide a list of the type of violations inspectors would be looking for. They cover a wide range of possibilities.

Minor violations include items such as inoperable

bathroom ventilation fans, clogged drains, broken handrails and even dirty furnace filters. Major violations include barbecue grills on decks, improper ceiling heights, missing smoke detectors and improperly vented furnaces or water heaters.

The meeting, though, also included a few neighborhood leaders who have been pushing for the expanded inspection program. Dan Dannenberg told the crowd that his neighborhood frequently had problems with renters leaving trash in their yards, illegally blocking sidewalks and other similar issues. “It seems like the landlords ought to have to take some responsibility for this because they reap the rent checks,� Dannenberg said.

Staff members said Monday that they intend to present a plan to city commissioners by the end of this month. Monday’s meeting was the first public presentation staff members made of their proposal.

Inspection schedule Among the details an-

nounced on Monday is the proposed inspection schedule for the program.

The city is proposing a plan where not every unit in a large apartment would have to be inspected every three years. The proposal includes:

Landlords with one to 10 units would have all their rental units inspected once every three years.

If their properties total five or fewer minor violations they would receive a 50 percent refund on the city’s inspection fee.

Landlords with 11 to 50 units would have the greater of 11 units or 50 percent of their units inspected once every three years.

If their properties total 10 or fewer minor violations, they would receive a 50 percent refund on the city’s inspection fee.

Landlords with 51 or more units would have 26 units or 33 percent of all their units inspected once every three year, whichever number is greater. If they have 20 violations or fewer, they would receive the 50 percent refund. — City reporter Chad Lawhorn can be reached at 832-6362. Follow him at Twitter.com/clawhorn_ljw.

Pinckney principal to retire after 17 years

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

The Lawrence school district announced that Lesa Frantz will retire at the end of this year after 17 years as the principal at Pinckney School. “I am grateful for all the wonderful opportunities that I have had in the district for the past 17 years,� Frantz said in a statement released by the district Monday. “I have

loved being the principal of Pinckney school.

It has been like my second home and family.�

Frantz Her retirement will be effective June 30.

Frantz became principal of Pinckney in 1996 after serving 11 years as a principal in Basehor-Linwood and Mill Creek Valley district

schools. She also taught vocal music for six years in the Seaman school district in Shawnee County. She earned her bachelor’s and master’s degrees at Washburn University. “As one of the district’s veteran-most school administrators, we certainly value Lesa’s strong leadership,� Superintendent Rick Doll said in a statement released Monday. “Working collaboratively with the Pinckney school

family, she has nurtured a positive school climate with a strong focus on student learning.�

The present Pinckney School was built in 1933, although there has been a school at the same location since 1872. It currently serves 224 students in kindergarten through fifth grade.

District officials said they will immediately begin a search for a new principal.

Local schools unlikely to mandate drug testing

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Lawrence schools Superintendent Rick Doll says he sees little chance that local school officials will enact a policy for universal drug testing of students like the one announced last week by Rockhurst High School in Kansas City, Mo. “In my (three and a half) years this has not been discussed, nor is it on our radar screen for the future,� Doll said in an email Monday when asked about the policy.

Last week, officials at Rockhurst, a private Catho-

lic school, announced that beginning next fall, they will require all students be tested for drug and alcohol use at least once a year.

Principal Greg Harkness told the Kansas City Star that the school wants to help students take a stand against illegal substances and that the new policy is not a response to extraordinary drug or alcohol abuse problems.

The Lawrence school district maintains a “Drug Free Schools� policy that prohibits “the unlawful manufacturing, sale, distribution, dispensing, possession or use of alcoholic beverages, illegal drugs, or

controlled substances by students on school premises or at any school activity.�

According to the district’s Board Policy Manual, students who violate that policy are subject to suspension and are required to undergo drug and alcohol assessment by a licensed mental health practitioner as a condition for being admitted back into school. The district does not pay for that assessment or assume any liability associated with it.

The policy manual also says students and their lockers may be searched whenever there is “reason-

able suspicion� that district policies, rules or directives are being violated.

Students may be required to take a breath test whenever administrators observe indicators of alcohol use such as slurred speech, unsteady walking or the smell of alcohol on a student’s breath or clothing.

And since 2005, the district has required all students to take an alcohol CEEGUUKDKNKV[ KPHQ breath enter/,%(57<test +$//upon

In 2011, the Brownback administration announced several major changes in TANF, including a reduction in the amount of time people can receive cash assistance over a lifetime, from 60 months to 48 months.

Another policy requires that individuals look for 20 jobs a week as their applications are being processed. Angela de Rocha, a spokeswoman for the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services, said the search for 20 jobs a week is flexible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is our goal.

Susan Brown, the libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marketing director, said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want people to feel like they are part of this move. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really using social media to keep folks informed and engaged.â&#x20AC;?

During the move, the library is coordinating with local businesses to bring benefits to library card owners. The libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Twitter and Facebook feeds will have instructions on how to get discounts from various merchants on certain days.

For example, on the announced day, if you go into The Dusty Bookshelf and exclaim â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love to read,â&#x20AC;? you can receive a 10 percent discount. Liberty Hall, Free State Brewery, Liberty Hall Cinema, La Prima Tazza, Love Garden Sounds, Wild Man Vintage and The Dusty Bookshelf are just some of the participating businesses.

Starting this Wednesday, items on hold can be picked up in the auditorium of the libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main location, 707 Vermont St., from noon to 7 p.m. daily until Saturday. The same schedule will be used next week, Monday through Saturday. Books can still be put on hold through the online system at lawrence. lib.ks.us during the move.

The library will lose meeting space at the new location and briefly stop adult and childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s programs. The adult programs are projected to start back up at the end of January and the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s programs should restart in February.

The remodeled and expanded library should be finished by April 2014.

The current space we have is pretty restricted.â&#x20AC;?

The renovated library will have more technology resources, such as audio and video editing labs, more meeting rooms and a larger childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s area. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Reporting intern Rebekka Schlichting can be reached at 785-832-7248.

Associated Press

JEFFERSON CITY, MO. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Emboldened by big majorities and eager to lure businesses, Republican legislators and governors across the Midwest and South are planning to pursue hundreds of millions of dollars of tax cuts in the new year.

Oh yeah, they might raise some taxes, too.

In many states, the exuberance to cut taxes during the 2013 legislative session suddenly has been chilled by worry about the potential consequences. Cautious state officials are now talking about the need for â&#x20AC;&#x153;thoughtfulness,â&#x20AC;? warning that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll â&#x20AC;&#x153;have to see how their numbers work outâ&#x20AC;? and suggesting that tax cuts in one area may need to be offset with increases in another.

The change in tune comes as Republicans struggle to balance a core belief in lower taxes and bold campaign promises against the practical need to pay their governmentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bills. Political obstacles are less of a problem. A party that swept into power in many statehouses in the 2010 elections won even bigger majorities in 2012.

The case study for the new mood â&#x20AC;&#x201D; caution mixed with conflicting impulses â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is Kansas. The Republican-dominated state slashed income taxes in 2012, enough to save taxpayers a projected $4.5 billion over six years. Now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s facing a self-inflicted budget gap of roughly $300

The American Legislative Exchange Council, a Washington-based group of legislators and corporations that advocates for free-market policies, also expects more than a dozen states to take up tax code changes in 2013. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many states are looking at Kansas to replicate parts of what Gov. (Sam) Brownback did,â&#x20AC;? said Jonathan Williams, ALECâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of tax and fisBrownback cal policy.

Kansas is cutting its individual income tax rates â&#x20AC;&#x201D; lowering the top rate to 4.9 percent from 6.45 percent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; effective in 2013 while also increasing the standard deduction for households and exempting the owners of 191,000 businesses from income taxes.

Brownback originally proposed to offset the income tax cuts by eliminating a number of deductions, including those for charitable contributions and home mortgages, and extending a temporary sales tax increase that is due to expire this July. But legislators decided to keep the deductions and Brownback signed the tax cuts into law anyway. He acknowledged in a December interview that Kansas now faces some short-term budget problems, but he insists the tax cuts are worth it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our region has lagged the South and the Southwest on growth.â&#x20AC;? Brownback told the AP. â&#x20AC;&#x153; ... This is our discussion on how we catch up.â&#x20AC;?

Woman pleads guilty in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;total identity theftâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; case WICHITA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; An illegal immigrant accused of assuming the persona of a Texas teacher pleaded guilty Monday in a case that put a face on the growing crime of â&#x20AC;&#x153;total identity theftâ&#x20AC;? in the United States.

Benita Cardona-Gonzalez, a Mexican national living in Topeka, pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of possessing fraudulent identification documents in a deal with prosecutors that calls for an 18-month prison term.

The 32-year-old was accused of completely assuming

the persona of Houston elementary school teacher Candida Gutierrez. Gutierrez COURTS recounted how the thief not only opened bank and credit accounts, but assumed her entire persona â&#x20AC;&#x201D; using it to get a job, a driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license, a mortgage, food stamps and even medical care for the birth of two children. All the while, the crook claimed the real Gutierrez was the one who had stolen her identity.

As part of the plea deal, Cardona-Gonzalez agreed not to contest deportation after serving her sentence.

Defense lawyer Matthew Works said after Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hearing in Wichita that his client was sorry and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t intend to harm Gutierrez. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She wanted to give her children a better life. That is what this is all about,â&#x20AC;?

Works said.

Gutierrez said in a phone interview Monday that she plans to attend the sentencing, which is scheduled for March 25.

A Lawrence day care â&#x20AC;&#x201D; shut down by state officials in October after being searched by police â&#x20AC;&#x201D; will remain closed, after the day careâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owner failed to appear at a state administrative hearing Monday.

Tiffany C. Hubbard, who operated the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Playpen day care out of her home at 766 Lake St., was the subject of a drug investigation, according to police.

A search of the day care was performed Oct. 24, and police suspected that crack cocaine and marijuana were being sold from the home, according to a police report.

The day after the search, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, which licenses day care facilities, issued an emergency shutdown order.

But Hubbard appealed that order to the Office of Administrative Hearings.

But because Hubbard

ON THE RECORD

didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appear at a hearing on Monday, an order was issued that requires the day care to remain closed, and that prohibits Hubbard from operating a day care facility in Kansas.

Though he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t speak about Hubbardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case specifically, Bob Tomlinson, director of the Office of Administrative Hearings, said such cases can still be further appealed to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.

Hubbard has not been arrested, but materials seized during the search have been tested, said Lawrence Police Sgt. Trent McKinley. At this point, police are compiling further information before forwarding the case to the District Attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office for review, he said.

Hubbard has no arrest or conviction record in Kansas, according to a KBI records search. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Reporter Shaun Hittle can be reached at 832-7173. Follow him at Twitter.com/shaunhittle.

LAW ENFORCEMENT REPORT Police responded to a report of gunshots in the 500 block of Eldridge Street about 10:45 p.m. Sunday, according to Lawrence Police spokeswoman Kim Murphree.

According to witnesses, there was a fight between two women, and then men in two vehicles exchanged gunfire. The Lawrence police report log stated that 16 officers responded to the incident.

No injuries were reported, and no arrests have been made, Murphree said. The investigation is continuing.

FATALITY ACCIDENT A 25-year-old Oskaloosa man was killed in a singlevehicle accident early Sunday morning in western Leavenworth County.

Lee A. King died when the Nissan pickup truck in which he was a passenger overturned as the vehicle made a left turn from Ragtown Road onto 251st Street, according to the Leavenworth County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office. The accident occurred at 4:30 a.m.

King was partially ejected

from the vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver, 18-year-old William J. Kelly, of Topeka, was treated at the scene for minor injuries.

Neither man was wearing a seat belt, according to police.

The initial police report did not indicate whether alcohol was a factor in the accident, which occurred about six miles northwest of Tonganoxie.

Tax code changes could be on the agenda in more states than usual in 2013 because more legislatures will be dominated by like-minded members. The number of states in which one party controls both chambers will be at its highest mark in decades, and half the state legislatures will have vetoproof majorities.

The Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, a Washington-based research group that advocates for a tax code that charges more to the wealthy than the poor, predicts that 2013 will be â&#x20AC;&#x153;a watershed year for tax reform.â&#x20AC;?

Lawrence Journal-World, Dec. 23, 2012.) It was previously reported in the Journal-World as $9 million, to be repaid over 10 years.

How much remains to be paid, what are the annual payments, and is this paid from facility funds that would otherwise be available to refurbish and upgrade schools (roofs, boilers, technology, etc.)?

A:

According to district finance director Kathy Johnson, two lease-purchase contracts for turf, lights and bleachers were signed in January and April 2009.

The total purchase price for the two was $9.05 million. The district makes payments in July and January each year totaling about $1.153 million.

The funds are paid from the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital outlay fund, which may also be used to pay for things like major purchases, maintenance repair projects that are not funded with bonds.

As of July 1, 2012, the start of the current fis-

cal year, the outstanding principal on the contracts was $6,790,046. The district budgeted to pay $1.6 million this year. The first-half payment for this year was made in July for $576,084.04. The January payment has not yet been billed. Assuming the budgeted amount is correct, that would leave an outstanding balance of about $5.19 million when the current fiscal year ends June 30.

BRIEFLY Unusual respite from health care costs WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Americans kept health care spending in check for three years in a row, the government reported Monday, an unusual respite that could linger if the economy stays soft or fade like a mirage if job growth comes roaring back.

The nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health care tab stood at $2.7 trillion in 2011, the latest year available, said nonpartisan number HEALTH crunchers with the Department of Health and Human Services. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 17.9 percent of the economy, which averages out to $8,680 for every man, woman and child, far more than any other economically advanced country spends.

Still, it was the third straight year of historically low increases in the United States. The 3.9 percent increase meant that health care costs grew in line with the overall economy in 2011 instead of surging ahead as they normally have during a recovery. A health care bill that grows at about the same rate as the economy is affordable; one that surges ahead is not.

Obama digs in for fight on Hagel, Brennan nominations

By Julie Pace Associated Press

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Digging in for a fight, President Barack Obama riled Senate Republicans and some Democrats, too, on Monday by nominating former Sen. and combat veteran Chuck Hagel to lead the Pentagon and anti-terrorism chief John Brennan as the next director of the Central Intelligence Agency.

Hagel and Brennan, in separate Senate confirmation hearings, will face sharp questions on a range of contentious issues, including U.S. policy about Israel and Iran, targeted drone attacks and harsh interrogation tactics. Of the two men, Hagel is expected to face a tougher path, though both are likely to be confirmed.

Hagel would be the first enlisted soldier and first Vietnam veteran to head the Pentagon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These two leaders have dedicated their lives to protecting our country,â&#x20AC;? Obama said, stand-

ing alongside them and the men they would succeed during a ceremony in the White House East Room. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I urge the Senate to confirm them as soon as possible so we can keep our nation secure and the American people safe.â&#x20AC;?

For Obama, a pair of combative confirmation hearings could turn into a distraction as he opens his second term. But the

president signaled he was ready to take that risk.

Hagel, a former Republican senator from Nebraska, has been criticized as hostile toward Israel and soft on Iran. Opponents also have highlighted his 1998 comments about an ambassador nominee whom he called â&#x20AC;&#x153;openly, aggressively gayâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a comment for which he recently apologized.

Brennan, a 25-year CIA

veteran, was under consideration to run the agency after Obama won the 2008 election but withdrew his name amid criticism from liberal activists who questioned his connection to the harsh interrogation techniques used by the CIA during the George W. Bush administration.

One of Hagelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s toughest critics, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., called his

former colleagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foreign policy views â&#x20AC;&#x153;outside the mainstreamâ&#x20AC;? and said he would be â&#x20AC;&#x153;the most antagonistic secretary of defense toward the state of Israel in our nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history.â&#x20AC;?

Perhaps even more concerning for Hagelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prospects has been the tepid response from some Democrats. Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York said Hagel had earned the right to a full and fair confirmation hearing, but he reserved judgment on whether he would back him. And Marylandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Democratic Sen. Ben Cardin said he and other lawmakers â&#x20AC;&#x153;have questions that have to be answeredâ&#x20AC;? specifically on Hagelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s views on Iran and Israel.

Obama called Hagel â&#x20AC;&#x153;the leader our troops deserveâ&#x20AC;? and someone who could make â&#x20AC;&#x153;tough fiscal choicesâ&#x20AC;? in a time of increasing austerity. The Pentagon is facing the potential of deep budget cuts in the coming months.

Empty oil tanker strikes Bay Bridge SAN FRANCISCO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; An empty oil tanker caused minor damage Monday when it struck a tower in the middle of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge while navigating beneath the hulking span, officials said.

The 752-foot Overseas Reymar rammed the tower about 11:20 a.m. as it headed out to sea, according to the Coast Guard and state transportation officials. It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t affect traffic on the busy bridge, which is the main artery between San Francisco and Oakland, Ney said.

OSG Ship Management Inc., which is the parent company that owns the Marshall Islands-registered ship, said the vessel hit an underwater portion of the massive bridge structure.

Investigators had not yet determined the cause of the crash.

Billions of Earth-size planets, study says LOS ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Our Milky Way is home to at least 17 billion planets that are similar in size to Earth, a new estimate suggests.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more than two Earth-size planets for every person on the globe.

Just how many are located in the sweet spot where water could exist is â&#x20AC;&#x153;simply too early to call,â&#x20AC;? said Francois Fressin of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, who presented his work at an astronomy meeting Monday.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first reliable tally of the number of worlds outside the solar system that are the size of Earth, but the hunt for our twin is far from over.

Despite the explosion of exoplanet discoveries in recent years, one find remains elusive: a planet thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not only the right size but also in the so-called Goldilocks zone where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not too hot or too cold for water to be in liquid form on the surface.

GOP scoffs at ‘no-negotiation’ vow on debt from Obama

By Charles Babington Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama, meet Congressman Michael Burgess.

The president says he absolutely will not let Republicans threaten a national debt ceiling crisis as a way to extract deeper federal spend- Burgess ing cuts.

Burgess’ take?

“It’s the most preposterous thing I’ve ever heard,” the Texas Republican says. “He’s going to have to negotiate.”

Both sides may be bluffing, of course. They may reach an agreement before the debt-limit matter becomes a crisis in March, or possibly late February.

But the tough talk suggests this year’s political fight could be even nastier and more nerve-grating

than the recent “fiscal cliff” showdown, or the July 2011 brinkmanship that triggered the first-ever ratings downgrade of the nation’s credit-worthiness.

Asked about the White House’s apparent assumption that Republicans will back down, Burgess said: “I’m not going to foreclose on anything, but that’s just not going to happen.”

He is hardly alone.

On NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., repeatedly declined to say he would rule out a government shutdown, prompted by a debt-ceiling impasse, in the effort to force Obama to swallow large spending cuts. “It’s a shame that we have to use whatever leverage we have in Congress” to force the White House to negotiate, he said.

In fact, congressional Republicans of all stripes say Obama has no choice but to accept spending cuts they want in exchange for a hike in the

debt ceiling, which will reach its limit in about two months. Said McConnell: “We simply cannot increase the nation’s borrowing limit without committing to long-overdue reforms to spending programs that are the very cause of our debt.”

Obama says he’s willing to discuss spending cuts in some programs. But that discussion, he says, must not be tied to GOP threats to keep the government from borrowing the money it needs to keep paying Rafiq Maqbool/AP Photo its bills, including interest A PARTICIPANT FROM NEW ZEALAND FLIES A LARGE HEART-SHAPED KITE at the on foreign-held debt.

Eric Schmidt, executive chairman of one of the world’s biggest Internet companies, is the highestprofile U.S. executive to visit North Korea — a country with notoriously restrictive online policies — since young leader Kim Jong Un took power a year ago. His visit has drawn criticism from the U.S. State Department because it comes only weeks after a controversial North Korean rocket launch; it has also prompted speculation about what the businessman hopes to accomplish.

Notable Lego bricks are getting cozy with the iPhone and other Apple devices in the latest incarnation of the Mindstorms robotics kit.

Lego announced Monday that a new, $350 Mindstorms EV3 kit will have the ability to talk to iPhones, iPads and iPod Touches through Bluetooth wireless connections. That means Lego builders can use the devices as remote controls for their robots, or create simple programs that are then sent to the robots to control their actions.

Lego said the kit will go on sale in the second half of the year. It was announced as the International CES gadget show begins in Las Vegas this week.

U.S. banks try to clean up remaining mortgage mess

By Christopher S. Rugaber and Daniel Wagner Associated Press

WASHINGTON — U.S. banks have taken another step to clear away the wreckage of the 2008 financial crisis by agreeing to pay $8.5 billion to settle charges that they wrongfully foreclosed on millions of homeowners.

The deal announced Monday could compensate hundreds of thousands of Americans whose homes were seized because of abuses such as “robo-signing,” when banks automatically signed off on foreclosures without properly reviewing documents. The agreement will also help eliminate huge potential liabilities for the banks.

But consumer advocates complained that regulators settled for too low a price by letting banks avoid full responsibility for foreclosures that victimized families and fueled an exodus from neighborhoods across the country.

DILBERT

The settlement ends an independent review of loan files required under a 2011 action by regulators.

Bruce Marks, CEO of the advocacy group Neighborhood Assistance Corp. of America, noted that ending the review will cut short investigations into the banks’ practices.

“The question of who’s to blame — the homeowners or the lenders — if you stop this investigation now, that will always be an open-ended question,” Marks said.

The banks, which include JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Wells Fargo, will pay about $3.3 billion to homeowners to end the review of foreclosures.

The rest of the money — $5.2 billion — will be used to reduce mortgage bills and forgive outstanding principal on home sales that generated less than borrowers owed on their mortgages.

A total of 3.8 million people are eligible for payments under the deal announced by the Office of

Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Reserve.

Those payments could range from a few hundred dollars to up to $125,000.

Homeowners who were wrongly denied a loan modification will be entitled to relatively small payments. By contrast, people whose homes were unfairly seized and sold would be eligible for the biggest payments.

Banks and consumer advocates had complained that the loan-by-loan reviews required under the 2011 order were time-consuming and costly and didn’t reach many homeowners. Banks were paying large sums to consultants to review the files. Some questioned the independence of those consultants, who often ruled against homeowners.

The deal “represents a significant change in direction” that ensures “consumers are the ones who will benefit, and that they will benefit more quickly and in a more direct manner,” Thomas Curry, the comptroller of the currency, said in a statement.

BRIEFLY $18 billion spent on Press analysis of new FBI The biggest surges enforcing immigration data. in background checks for

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration spent more money on immigration enforcement in the last fiscal year than all other federal law enforcement agencies combined, accordObama ing to a report on the government’s enforcement efforts from a Washington think tank.

The report on Monday from the Migration Policy Institute, a nonpartisan group focused on global immigration issues, said in the 2012 budget year that ended in September the government spent about $18 billion on immigration enforcement programs run by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the US-Visit program, and Customs and Border Protection, which includes the Border Patrol. Immigration enforcement topped the combined budgets of the FBI; Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; Drug Enforcement Administration and U.S. Secret Service by about $3.6 billion dollars, the report’s authors said.

people who want to carry or buy guns occurred in states in the South and West.

The latest government figures reflect huge increases across the U.S. in the number of background checks for gun sales and permits to carry guns at the end of the year. After President Barack Obama’s re-election, the horrific school shooting in Connecticut and Obama’s promise to support new laws aimed at curbing gun violence, the number of background checks spiked.

In Georgia, the FBI processed 37,586 requests during October and 78,998 requests in December; Alabama went from 32,850 to 80,576 during the same period.

Cancer death rates still inching down

Rational decision Federal regulators have made a common-sense decision related to Flint Hills burning and air-quality reports.

I

t seems like a rare victory for common sense in what’s too often an “Alice in Wonderland” bureaucracy.

Prescribed burns of the tallgrass prairie in the Flint Hills can skew air quality data in monitoring locations, and that specific data should not be used to impose more stringent, and costly, federal air-quality regulations. Seems reasonable, right?

And, for once, federal environmental regulators agree!

In what’s described as a rare event, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has granted the state’s request that the EPA not use four days’ reports from April 2011 in its calculations about air quality for certain areas in central and eastern Kansas, including Wichita, Topeka and Kansas City. Those calculations, part of a three-year average, can mandate changes in the formula for gasoline sold in an area, and also can dictate installation of expensive pollution control devices by area businesses and industries. A case in point already exists in the Kansas City metropolitan area.

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment worked with agricultural interests to develop a smoke management plan for the Flint Hills. It then petitioned the EPA to exclude the data from days when prescribed burns took place in the scenic grasslands, where Kansas ranchers burn off the prairie annually to kill trees and weeds. The fires also help improve the productivity of the pastures that serve to feed thousands of head of cattle. Nearly 2 million acres are burned each year, sources estimate.

The EPA acknowledged in a letter to the state that the situation deserved special consideration.

“The tallgrass prairie ecosystem in the Flint Hills region represents a unique ecosystem whose native plant and animal communities benefit from periodic fire, and that the factors that affect the management of fire and the effects of fire are also specific to the region,” the EPA wrote in announcing its decision.

Congratulations to the state and to Flint Hills ranchers for their work on this matter, and to the EPA for reaching a rational and logical decision.

Latin America tax system needs work French movie star Gerard Depardieu made the wrong choice by seeking Belgian and Russian citizenship to avoid paying higher taxes in France. He should have moved to Mexico.

Recent studies by the United Nations and the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development show that the super-rich in Mexico and several other Latin American countries pay much less in taxes than their European counterparts or those in the United States.

In general, Latin America is one of the world’s regions where the ultra-wealthy pay the least taxes, the studies say.

Depardieu has said that he is renouncing his French citizenship over French President Francois Holland’s plan to raise taxes on incomes above 1 million euros — about $1.3 million — to 75 percent. While France’s top court ruled against the 75 percent tax rate on Dec. 29, the French government has said it will come up with a similar bill shortly.

Last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin officially granted him Russian citizenship, after the internationally known French actor had set up residence in Belgium to obtain Belgian citizenship.

But Depardieu would pay much less in most Latin American countries. According to Andres Solimano, a Chilean economist and co-author of a recent study by the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean.

Andres Oppenheimer aoppenheimer@miamiherald.com

“

Recent studies by the United Nations and the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development show that the super-rich in Mexico and several other Latin American countries pay much less in taxes than their European counterparts or those in the United States.”

the average personal income tax rate for the super-rich in Latin America stands at about 37.5 percent.

Comparatively, in the United States, following the Dec. 31 congressional passage of the fiscal cliff tax hikes, the super-rich will pay 39.9 percent. In northern European countries, they pay about 60 percent.

“Clearly, the super-rich in Latin America pay much less taxes relative to their income than the super-rich in Europe or the United States,” Solimano told me. “That’s especially the case in Mexico, and in

Central American countries.”

The 2012 ECLAC study

by Solimano and Juan Pablo Jimenez, which is entitled Economic elites, inequality and taxes, notes that the world’s richest person — Mexican telecommunications magnate Carlos Slim — and many other Latin American billionaires benefit from distorted tax systems.

Tax evasion is rampant in the region, and most taxes are collected from “indirect” taxes on alcohol, tobacco and other goods that are consumed by the general population, the study says.

A separate OECD study says that personal income taxes amount to 1.5 percent of Latin America’s overall gross domestic product, as opposed to an average of 9 percent in industrialized countries such as the United States, Germany and Japan.

In Latin America, most taxes are collected from corporations that pass on the cost of tax hikes to consumers and from indirect taxes on consumer goods, rather than from individuals as in the world’s richest nations, the study says.

Asked whether Latin American countries should raise taxes on the superrich, Solimano told me that “simply raising taxes on the super-rich won’t solve the problem of inequality in Latin America.”

The reason is that in today’s globalized world the super-rich will simply pack and leave for another country, as Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin did last

year when he renounced his U.S. citizenship and moved to Singapore. A smarter way to reduce inequality in Latin America would be to pass anti-monopoly laws, or enforce them, avoiding an excessive concentration of wealth and encouraging more competition, he said.

In addition, most countries in the region would need to better regulate compensation of CEOs, he said.

My opinion: There is no one-size-fits-all solution to Latin America’s tax distortions, in part because tax agencies in some countries, such as Argentina and Venezuela, have become political mafias that spend much of their energies persecuting government critics, or business people who they don’t see as sufficiently loyal.

I’m not sure giving these tax agencies more power would do any good.

Some of the region’s lowtax countries would be better off raising taxes on the superrich, while others would benefit from doing the opposite, and — much like Putin did in Russia — rolling out a welcome mat for tax-strangled foreign millionaires. What’s best for Mexico may not be best for Panama.

But most countries in the region badly need to fix their dysfunctional tax systems.

Perhaps the big headlines about Depardieu’s countryhunting will help put the issue on the agenda. Merci, Gerard!

The City of Lawrence Parks and Recreation Advisory Board has spent an extensive amount of time the past six years studying our community’s recreation facilities, conducting public forums and gathering input via surveys. We’ve evaluated existing resources and partnerships.

The fact that we are woefully short on gym space is just that, a fact.

Take a drive to our centers some weekend and you’ll see an incredible flurry of activity. A youth basketball season in Lawrence now consists of only six games. That’s the best we can do because of limited gym space. Our senior citizens go to Walmart to have an indoor location to walk laps. The list goes on and on.

This facility addresses, first and foremost, our community recreation needs. The new facility includes gymnasium space, gymnastics, indoor turf, proposed wellness center, walking track and cardio equipment. The walking track, as well as other programming such as indoor tennis and pickleball, will benefit our senior citizen population and fits nicely with the city’s retirement community initiative. These amenities are available to our citizens via open access without regard to economic status.

With the knowledge that we are absolutely short on indoor recreation space, the question becomes location and timing. Is now really the best time to initiate a project of this magnitude? Why not build a smaller, neighborhood recreation center on property the city already owns at Overland Drive?

Challenging times present opportunities for those who have planned for such times. The City of Lawrence is in that position now. We have the funds to build this project without raising taxes, and we have a unique set of circumstances that will afford us an incredible opportunity.

First, we will have a partnership between the city and Kansas University Endowment Association, allowing both the university and the city to build facilities that, independently, would be difficult to accom- Dawson plish. Secondly, the city has a “not to exceed” price of $25 million for this project by using the same general contractor as KUEA. If the city had to build the project on its own, the cost would be about $33 million. Even if we considered the Overland Drive location, we would be spending the same amount for a much smaller center because we wouldn’t take advantage of economies of scale, and the city likely still would help with infrastructure costs at the Rock Chalk Park location. KU is our largest employer. Do you really think the city isn’t going to assist them (and rightfully so) with this project? Third, construction costs are low right now. As the economy improves, the costs will go up. And, finally, interest rates are amazingly low. The bonds issued to pay for this project will be paid back with very favorable terms. Lawrence will attract a sizeable number of

amateur tournaments that will bring substantial economic development to us through captured sales tax dollars in the community.

Good leaders evaluate all of the existing conditions and evaluate risk versus reward. Given the circumstances listed above, the potential rewards of this project, particularly solving the decades-long gym shortage for our community, far outweigh the perceived risk of taking on debt that will be paid using existing sales tax revenues.

Dolph Simons, Jr. wrote the following in the Lawrence Journal-World on Aug. 22, 2009: “Lawrence’s goal should be to be ‘America’s finest university city.’ This would mean good and/or excellent education facilities, health care, housing, job opportunities, recreation facilities, retail shopping, clean government and law enforcement, a progressive outlook and a ‘great place to live and work.’ Lawrence and KU leaders, as well as all residents, need to get to work. It’s easy to see the price the city and the university have paid for a feeling of satisfaction, complacency, smugness or elitism. We need action, not excuses, and leaders with vision and courage, not those trying to avoid offending anyone or stepping on any toes.”

I couldn’t agree more. Now is our opportunity to start working toward that goal. Now is the time for our leaders to show courage in making the right decision for our community and that decision is proceeding with this project.

â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Bama slams Irish to repeat as national champ

MIAMI GARDENS, FLA. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The coach no longer wears houndstooth. The result is the same. Another Alabama dynasty.

Quieting the Irish by the first play of the second quarter, Eddie Lacy, AJ McCarron and the No. 2 Crimson Tide rolled top-ranked Notre Dame, 42-14, for the BCS championship Monday night, locking up a second straight national title and third in four years with another laugher of a title game.

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Withey gone wild

By Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Few college players mean as much to their teams as Kansas University womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball senior Angel Goodrich means to hers.

Goodrich sets the fast pace, sets up teammates for shots in their comfort zones in the halfcourt and UP NEXT even has been known Who: No. 17 to set fire to Kansas (11-2, the nets from 2-0) vs. No. time to time. 21 Oklahoma G i v e n State (11-2, G o o d r i c h â&#x20AC;&#x2122; s 0-2) extreme val- When: 7 ue to KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tonight chances of Where: Stillwinning Big water, Okla.

12 games, coach Bonnie TV: none Henrickson takes great care in making sure she maximizes the minutes Goodrich spends on the floor. With inadequate depth at the point guard, Henrickson views Goodrich foul trouble as her No. 1 enemy.

Staying out of foul trouble will be of paramount important for Goodrich in a tough Big 12 test in Stillwater, Okla., where No. 17 Kansas (11-2 overall, 2-0 in the Big 12) faces No. 21 Oklahoma State (11-2, 0-2) at 7 tonight.

A native of Tahlequah, Okla., Goodrich averages 1.8 personal fouls in home games and three on the road.

Henrickson does not adhere to a strict formula when dealing with Goodrich and her foul count. Last week in a home game against Kansas State, Goodrich was whistled for her second foul with 3:32 remaining in the first half. Haley Texada made both free throws to cut KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead to six points. Goodrich watched the rest of the half, Please see KU WOMEN, page 3B

Big man had monster noncon season

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

There are some striking similarities between 2012 Naismith Player of the Year/ Wooden Award winner/ NABC Defensive Player of the Year Anthony Davis and current Kansas University senior center Jeff Withey, who has positioned himself to at least be in the conversation for those honors following a productive 2012-13 nonconference season.

The 7-foot Withey, as reddit.com pointed out Monday, actually has had a better non-

conference campaign than former Kentucky phenom Davis did a year ago. Through 13 games last season, Davis had 58 blocks and 29 fouls.

Through 13 games in 2012-13, Withey has 68 blocks and 16 fouls.

By last seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end, Davis totaled 186 blocks, or 4.7 per game.

Withey is averaging 5.23 blocks a game.

KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anchor from San Diego enters the upcoming Big 12 season as a rival to Davis, No. 1 pick in the 2012 NBA Draft, on the offensive end as well.

Davis last season averaged 14.2 points a game off 62.3 percent shooting.

Withey currently averages 13.4 points per game (second on team to Ben McLemoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 15.6) off 55.8 percent marksmanship. Withey has made 71.4 percent of his free throws; Davis hit 70.9 percent his only season at UK. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cole (Aldrich, Houston Rockets) was the best shotblocker weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had since Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been here up until Jeff. I bet you Cole averaged less than three blocks a game. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best, and Jeff is averaging 5, almost double of the best weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve

had. Jeff is really good at it,â&#x20AC;?

KU coach Bill Self said.

Aldrich, who is second on KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all-time block charts with 253 compared to Greg Ostertagâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 258, averaged 3.5 blocks a game in 2009-10.

Withey has 233 career blocks, which is fifth all-time at KU. If he stays healthy, of course, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lock to become the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all-time leader.

If KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s single-season blocks leader (140 last year, compared to Aldrichâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 125 in 200910) wants to dream big, he can shoot for David Robinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Please see HOOPS, page 3B

FSHS falters in fourth, falls, 49-46

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

OVERLAND PARK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Free State Highâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s girls basketball players and coaches left Shawnee Mission South on Monday night trying to wrap their brains around what exactly went wrong in a 49-46 loss to the Raiders. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any answers,â&#x20AC;?

Firebirds coach Bryan Duncan said after his team surrendered a 10-point, fourth-

quarter lead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Honestly, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.â&#x20AC;?

Junior FSHS forward Scout Wiebe banked in a jumper with 5:40 left to give the Firebirds (5-2) a 45-35 advantage, but they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t convert another field goal. Free Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only other point came on a Wiebe free throw with 3:01 left as SM South (4-4) closed on a decisive 14-1 run.

Despite its lack of offense and five fourth-quarter turnovers, FSHS still had a

chance at least to send the game to overtime when Raiders junior guard Sierra Roberts missed both of her free throws with 7.7 seconds remaining.

Senior Chelsea Casady grabbed the defensive rebound for Free State on the second misfire and passed the ball ahead to senior guard Kennedy Kirkpatrick.

The Firebirdsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; leading scorer, with 13 points, Kirkpatrick saw an opening to tie the

game with a three-pointer from a couple of steps behind the arc on the left wing.

The shot went up in time but bounced off the glass, then the rim, ending Free Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s five-game winning streak.

Kirkpatrick, who also had five assists, said her main Richard Gwin/Journal-World Photo goal was to find an opening. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seven seconds goes by FREE STATEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S SCOUT WIEBE (22) DRIVES quick in those situations,â&#x20AC;? between Shawnee Mission Southâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shiya she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So at that point Pouncil, left, and Siera Roberts (11) in a 49-46 FSHS loss on Monday at SM Please see FSHS, page 3B South.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY

Coachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s call under fire after RG3 injury NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; At some point, an injured player, even a star like Robert Griffin III, is too hampered to help a team. Deciding when enough is enough is the problem.

Redskins coach Mike Shanahan became the target of widespread criticism after Griffin reinjured his right knee in Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 24-14 wild-card loss to Seattle.

The questions have ranged from whether Shanahan made his sensational rookieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health Griffin his No. 1 priority to whether the protocol for dealing with injuries was followed.

Coaches who have been in such tricky situations say the solutions arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t complicated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to rely on the doctors, the health always has to come first,â&#x20AC;? said Super Bowlwinning coach Tony Dungy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the doctor says he can go or he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t argue, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not even a discussion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the doctors say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Here are the limitations, he can go,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; then you have to judge for yourself.

How is he mentally? How limited is he physically?â&#x20AC;?

Dungy recalls many times when players wanted to go and he had to say no. While coaching the Buccaneers, Dungy told Warren Sapp he wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be suiting up for a national TV game against Miami because Sapp had cracked a bone in his hand.

Sapp wanted to wear a splint, but team doctors said it was too soon for him to play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Warren was upset,â&#x20AC;? Dungy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you ask the player, it means nothing. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rare a player will tell you he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do this or this or that.â&#x20AC;?

Shanahan said Monday that Griffin will see renowned orthopedist James Andrews for more examinations on the knee, leaving open the possibility the quarterback will be sidelined for a lengthy period.

Shanahan added he thought he made the â&#x20AC;&#x153;right decisionsâ&#x20AC;? and it would be â&#x20AC;&#x153;crazyâ&#x20AC;? to think he would purposely sacrifice Griffinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career to win a game.

But Shanahan admitted he did not talk to team doctors initially after Griffin was hurt in the first quarter.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went up to Robert. I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You OK?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Shanahan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And he said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m fine.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Not exactly the way some coaches would have handled it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You never put a player in harmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way,â&#x20AC;? said Herm Edwards, who defended how Shanahan handled the situation during his ESPN show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It starts with the medical staff on the sideline. They advise you if a player is able to go back in. If they say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Yea,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; you put him back in. If he can play, you keep him on the field.â&#x20AC;?

Players donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ever want to come out, and Dungy says some will even try to hide medical problems.

Or at least minimize them.

San Francisco tight end Vernon Davis suffered a concussion on Dec. 23 at Seattle and returned to play in the season finale against Arizona. He admits to being a little â&#x20AC;&#x153;woozyâ&#x20AC;? during his limited reps, but insists sitting should not have been the first option. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You trust the player. A player knows his body better than anyone,â&#x20AC;? Davis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feeling a certain way, then I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think you can go against that. He knows he can play.â&#x20AC;?

But he could be placing himself in greater jeopardy, wheth-

Post-BCS playoff may pick hosts soon FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The home of the first national championship game under the new playoff system, along with the three remaining semifinal rotation sites, will likely be picked by the end of April.

The second-to-last season of the Bowl Championship Series wrapped up Monday night, with No. 2 Alabama rolling over No. 1 Notre Dame for the national title in Miami.

Starting with the 2014 season, the national champion of major college football will be determined with a four-team playoff.

Three of the six sites that will be in the semifinal rotation have been picked. The others, along with the sites of the first and future championship games, will be in place before the summer, BCS executive director Bill Hancock said Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to announce the first (championship game) site even sooner than others,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it might happen even sooner than Aprilâ&#x20AC;?.

The BCS holds a regular meeting of conference commissioners in late April. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we anticipate in April is to announce is a couple, three more (championship sites) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 2015, 2016 and maybe â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;17,â&#x20AC;? Hancock said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no question by April we will know who the other three participants in the rotation will be for semifinals.

The conference commissioners have already narrowed down possibilities for the first championship game site to Arlington, Texas (Cotton Bowl); Pasadena, Calif. (Rose Bowl), Glendale, Ariz. (Fiesta Bowl); Atlanta (Chick-fil-A Bowl); New Orleans (Sugar Bowl); Miami (Orange Bowl).

Sites for future national title games will be bid out the way the Super Bowl and Final Four are, and could end up in places that have not traditionally hosted major bowls.

The Rose, Sugar and Orange bowls have already been chosen for the semifinal rotation.

The other three sites are likely to be Arlington, Glendale and Atlanta.

Hancock would only say the commissioners would prefer to have sites in three different time zones.

Hancock, speaking to reporters from the Football Writers Association of America, said the conference commissioners are working with a concept of having 15 to 18 people on the selection committee that will pick the final four participants.

er in the short term or for his entire career. For every Adrian Peterson and Jamaal Charles who makes a stunningly quick recovery, there are dozens of players who are never the same.

Some donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even get back in uniform again.

Or they come back too quickly, as Griffinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teammate, cornerback DeAngelo Hall, did in 2010.

Hall missed practice leading up to a game against the Colts. Usually, Shanahan bars players from suiting up when that happens, but Hall was allowed to play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I gave up a couple of touchdown passes,â&#x20AC;? Hall said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And Mike was just like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my fault, you shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been out there. I respect you wanted to be out there, but I could tell you just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;You always want to be out there. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing against the guys behind you, but just that competitiveness in you. You want to compete, you want to be a part of it, especially this run weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Man, it would have been hard for that guy (RG3) to say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Nah, coach I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t goâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;pull me.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Everything was going so special, he wanted to be a part of it.â&#x20AC;?

MARK WILSON PEERS FROM UNDER AN UMBRELLA as he waits for a rain squall to ease up before he tees off on the 10th hole during the first round at the Tournament of Champions PGA golf tournament on Monday in Kapalua, Hawaii. Play was to have started three days earlier, but was delayed because of rain and high winds.

Johnson in control at oft-delayed PGA Tour opener KAPALUA, HAWAII â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The PGA Tour season finally got under way Monday, and Dustin Johnson wasted no time taking control in the Tournament of Champions.

Johnson had not played the Plantation Course at Kapalua since Thursday. Once he got started, he hardly missed a shot. Johnson had seven putts at eagle over 36 holes, four on the back nine alone in the second round. He missed only three greens in regulation. And when his marathon day ended, he had rounds of 69-66 for a three-shot lead over defending champion Steve Stricker.

Three days behind schedule because of high wind, the season started on the day the tournament was supposed to finish. Rickie Fowler made PGA Tour history by hitting the opening shot of the season three times â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the first two â&#x20AC;&#x153;opening roundsâ&#x20AC;? had to be scrapped by 40 mph gusts roaring down the hills.

Johnson returned some degree of normalcy under warm sunshine and strong wind. He simply overpowered Kapalua, twice driving the green on par 4s, one of them into the wind. He was at 11-under 135, and that lead looms even larger with only one round to play.

WOMENâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S BASKETBALL

Baylor back to No. 1 in top 25 Baylor has regained the No. 1 spot in The Associated Press womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball poll.

Coach Kim Mulkeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team received 32 firstplace votes Monday, two days after then-No. 1 Connecticut lost to Notre Dame. The Lady Bears were the top choice in the preseason and had a run of 21 straight weeks atop the poll end with a neutral site loss to Stanford in November.

Notre Dame jumped up three spots to No. 2 after its one-point victory over UConn. The Huskies fell to third. Duke, the only unbeaten team left in Division I, was fourth and Stanford fifth.

The Cardinal are followed by Kentucky, California, Penn State, Tennessee and Maryland.

Oklahoma State had the biggest drop, falling eight spots to No. 21 after losing twice this week, including to Baylor.

Miami and Iowa State entered the poll at 24th and 25th, while Nebraska and Arkansas fell out.

No. 17 Kansas moved up four spots after being ranked at 21st last week. The Jayhawks (11-2) are coming off victories against their first two Big 12 foes, Kansas State and West Virginia.

Louisville overtook unbeaten Arizona for third.

Completing the top 10 are Indiana, Kansas, Syracuse, Minnesota, Gonzaga and Missouri.

No. 23 Wichita State and No. 24 UNLV are back in the rankings. Oklahoma State and Pittsburgh dropped out from last week. Wyoming, the other unbeaten Division I school, remains unranked.

NHL: 48-game season likely The NHL appears headed toward a 48-game season for the second time in two decades. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think 48 is most likely at this point, unless the players can expedite their ratification process,â&#x20AC;? NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly wrote in an email Monday to the Associated Press.

The NHL shortened its 82-game slate to 48 games for the 1994-95 season after a 103-day lockout.

When the framework of a new collective bargaining agreement was agreed to Sunday morning â&#x20AC;&#x201D; after 16 hours of negotiations â&#x20AC;&#x201D; there was some talk of having a 50-game season start later this month.

The NHL and the playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; association are working on a memorandum of understanding, which could be completed soon, then voted on by owners and players. The league has circulated a memo to teams telling them to be ready to play by Jan. 19, the date the shortened season is expected to start.

NOTRE DAME COACH BRIAN KELLY, LEFT, TALKS to Robby Toma during the first half of an eventual 42-12 loss to Alabama on Monday in Miami.

BCS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

Alabama (13-1) scored 69 straight points against its title game opponents, going back to getting the final 13 against Texas in 2010, followed by a stifling 21-0 victory over LSU for last year’s crown, then scoring the first 35 points on Notre Dame. Saban’s team made the Irish (121) look like a squad that would be hard-pressed to finish in the middle of the pack in the mighty Southeastern Conference, which has now won seven straight national championships.

The Crimson Tide will likely wrap up its ninth Associated Press national title, breaking a tie with Notre Dame for the most by any school and gaining a measure of redemption for a bitter loss to the Irish almost four decades ago: the epic Sugar Bowl in which Ara Parseghian’s team edged Bear Bryant’s powerhouse 24-23.

Bryant won five AP titles during his brilliant career. The way things are going, Saban might just chase him down.

The diminutive man with the perpetual scowl has guided Alabama to the top spot in the rankings three times since arriving in Tuscaloosa in 2007, and if he’s serious about finishing his career with the job he has, there seems no reason he can’t win a few more before he’s done with “The Process.”

Already, Saban is the first coach in the BCS era to win national titles at different schools, capturing his first at LSU during the 2003 season. Now, he’s the first coach with backto-back BCS titles, and given the youthfulness of his team, Alabama figures to go into next season as a heavy favorite.

In an interesting twist, Saban’s fourth college title came in the stadium where he had the only stumble of his coaching career, a twoyear tenure with the NFL’s Miami Dolphins that ended ugly, with the coach insisting he wasn’t planning to leave — then bolting for Alabama just two weeks later. His tactics may have been underhanded, but it’s hard to argue with the call he made.

Before a record Sun Life Stadium crowd of 80,120 that definitely included more green than crimson, Lacy ran right through Te’o and the Irish on a 20-yard touchdown run before the game was 3 minutes old, capping an 82-yard drive that was longest of the season given up by the Fighting Irish.

It would only get worse.

Alabama marched right down the field on its second possession, this one a 10-play, 61-yard pounding that finished with McCarron completely faking out the defense and lofting a 3-yard touchdown pass to Michael Williams, standing all alone in the back of the end zone.

On the first play of the second quarter, T.J. Yeldon powered over from the 1 to make it 21-0, the finish to another impressive drive — this one covering 80 yards — that included two long completions by McCarron.

First, he went to Kevin Norwood on a 25-yard gain. Then, he hooked up with freshman Amari Cooper for a 27-yard gain to the Notre Dame 6.

By that point, it was clear to everyone that

Notre Dame’s hopes of winning its first national championship since 1988 were all done. But Alabama just poured it on.

“We’ve got to get physically stronger, continue close the gap there,” said Brian Kelly, the Irish’s third-year coach. “Just overall, we need to see what it looks like. Our guys clearly know what it looks like now — a championship football team.

That’s back-to-back national champions. That’s what it looks like. That’s what you measure yourself against there. It’s pretty clear across the board what we have to do.”

Lacy’s 11-yard touchdown reception with 31 seconds left in the half left the Irish fans shaking the heads in disbelief, while the Alabama faithful broke out that familiar “SEC! SEC! SEC!” Alabama made it 35-0 on McCarron’s second TD pass of the night, a 34-yarder to Cooper without a Notre Dame defender in sight.

The Irish finally scored late in the third quarter, a 2-yard run by Everett Golson that served no other purpose except to end Alabama’s remarkable scoreless streak in the BCS title games, which stretched to 108 minute and 7 seconds — the equivalent of nearly two full games — before the Notre Dame quarterback fought his way into the end zone.

The only BCS title game that was more of a blowout was USC’s 55-19 victory over Oklahoma in the 2005 Orange Bowl, a title that was later vacated because of NCAA violations.

About the only time Alabama stumbled was when McCarron had a miscommunication with his All-American center, Barrett Jones, in the closing seconds. The fiery McCarron shouted at Jones, who just shoved him away. But as the seconds ticked off, they were right on the same page, hugging Saban and celebrating another title.

Notre Dame went from unranked in the preseason to the top spot in the rankings by the end of the regular season. But that longawaited championship will have to wait at least one more years. Golson completed his first season as the starter by going 21 of 36 for 270 yards, with a touchdown and an interception. But he got no help from the running game, which was held to 32 yards — 170 below their season average.

single-season NCAArecord total of 207 rejections, set in 1985-86.

“Jeff can block it almost flat-footed or from a rotation standpoint. He’s just so long,” Self said Monday on his “Hawk Talk” radio show. “Jeff chooses his spots pretty well. I don’t know if his shot blocks (total) does justice to his defensive ability because he changes the game.

He changes how people think. He changes scouting report just because he is effective and has an unbelievable knack for blocking shots and keeping it in play where we can retrieve it.

“From a defensive standpoint, we don’t win the game (69-62 Sunday vs. Temple) without him back there blocking and altering,” Self added.

ESPN.com noticed Withey’s effort in Sunday’s victory over the Owls.

“Withey is having an insane defensive season,” Eamonn Brennan wrote Monday in a blog under the headline, “Jeff Withey is having a crazy season.”

“Through 13 games, Withey is making Davis

look like an amateur,” Brennan added.

Withey, by the way, isn’t the country’s only shotblocker deluxe. St. John’s freshman Chris Obekpa actually has 71 blocks — three more than Withey — while playing one more game. Arizona State junior Jordan Bachynski has 69 blocks — one more than Withey — while playing two additional games. St. John’s, however, is 9-5 and unranked, and ASU 13-2 and unranked. KU is 12-1 and the sixth-rated team in the country.

In-game interviews: In a strange twist, CBS’ sideline reporter interviewed KU coach Self during a second-half timeout Sunday. Temple’s Fran Dunphy was interviewed during a first-half timeout.

“I think that’s probably enough in-game discussion we’ll have with interviewers,” Self said on “Hawk Talk.” Obviously, he’d prefer meeting with his team during entire timeouts and not spending time with reporters.

“It’s something they are experimenting with.

I think we are the first group they have done it with. They got Fran to do it. Naturally, I’m the bad guy if I don’t. I did it. I feel we’ve done what they asked now we can

get back to being snobbish and doing everything on our own,” Self added, jokingly.

coach Self watched part of Tulsa’s 48-47 victory over SMU on Sunday. Self’s mentor, former KU coach Larry Brown, coaches SMU; former KU and Self assistant Danny Manning coaches Tulsa.

“What a finish. It was an unbelievable finish. I was happy for Danny and sad for coach,” Self said.

Tulsa’s Pat Swilling hit a three with 3.8 seconds left to give the Golden Hurricane the win.

“You hate to see either one of them lose. It was about as exciting a finish as we’ve seen.”

Several members of KU’s 1988 title team, including Milt Newton, Archie Marshall, Scooter Barry, Kevin Pritchard and Lincoln Minor, attended. Brown coached the Manning-led KU team that won the ’88 national title.

“Archie is one of those guys who reminds me so much of Ben (McLemore), or Ben reminds me of him,” Self said. “An athletic wing. Archie, of course, had knee issues. I’m sure they had a good time with the exception of the game down there (the fact one had to lose).”

Bench: Self was asked by a caller if freshmen Rio Adams and Andrew White III “could help us” in games during the Big 12 season.

“I do. I told our team today, this is very blunt but very true, I doubt both of them will. The reason I say that is, I don’t see any reason why we’d play six perimeter players unless there are foul problems or injuries,” Self said. “Just like there’s no need to play five big guys unless we have foul problems or injuries. Unless it’s an energy deal and you bring them in and certainly hope they change the pace of the game or change the negative we have going on, give us a positive boost. That could happen.

I think they both are capable.”

He applauded White for his three minutes of work in the second half of a close game Sunday.

“I thought he did a good job,” Self said. “I don’t know if we have a lot of games that everybody will

get a chance to impact it.

Next: KU (12-1) will Maybe one of the two, but meet Iowa State (10-3) at not both.”

and K-State took a twopoint lead into intermission, reeling off a 17-3 run that started before Goodrich went to the bench.

Afterward, Henrickson explained what gave her the discipline to leave Goodrich on the bench.

“If we’re down, and the lead grows, I’ll put her back in,” Henrickson said. “But if we can maintain and hold and hold and, yes, it was a monster run, but we’re down two.

I’m not going to go down 10 with that going on. I trust her enough to play her.”

It depends on the game.

“She had been in foul trouble early in the year, and I think one time it got away from us, I felt like it was going to get away from us, I put her back in,” Henrickson said. “But it’s as much as I felt like I could trust CeCe (Harper) and Natalie (Knight) and Monica Engelman too, that, ‘OK, if we can just hold on here and stop the bleeding a little bit or not get run out of the gym here, I’d rather have Angel start (the second half with two fouls) because of how aggressive she is and how much they rotate, how much she drives it in the paint their potential to maybe slide over and take charges on her. Because I knew she was going to want to come out and be aggressive in the second half.”

The three guards Henrickson referenced are Angel’s wings, but nobody comes close to running the team the way Goodrich does.

Oklahoma State junior point guard Tiffany Bias knows how to draw fouls and will attempt to send Goodrich to the bench.

Bias leads the Cowgirls (11-2, 0-2) in attempted free throws, assists and steals and ranks third with a 13.3 scoring average.

FSHS COACH BRYAN DUNCAN TALKS TO THE FIREBIRDS trying to calm them down in the final minutes of a 49-46 loss Monday at Shawnee Mission South.

FSHS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

it’s not, ‘Let’s look up at the clock and see how much time I have.’ It’s, ‘Let’s shoot before the clock runs out.’”

Duncan had a timeout left, but decided to let the team’s leader try to make a play on the fly.

“I’ve always thought, offensively, that allows the defense to set as well,” Duncan said of calling a timeout. “I felt like our best opportunity was to come down with a pull-up three or a dribble-drive and kick-out three, where they (the Raiders) don’t have a chance to talk about defending the three.”

Of course, last-minute strategy would never have come up if Free State hadn’t suddenly strayed off course in the fourth quarter. Though SM South held a 25-21 halftime lead, Free State seemed to take control in the third quarter, when Casady scored eight of her 10 points, Kirkpatrick scored in the post and passed out three assists, Wiebe scored five points and junior shooting guard Millie Shade (11 points) hit one of her three three-pointers.

Free State continued to

look better than it had at any point in the first half in the opening minutes of the fourth, too. Wiebe scored on a drive, Shade knocked down a pullup jumper, and Wiebe (12 points, 10 rebounds) scored another field goal before the Firebirds went completely cold.

Said Casady: “I think we took our lead for granted…

We thought, ‘We have a good cushion, we can relax.’”

FSHS led until the 1:19 mark of the fourth, when Raiders senior forward Sam Bendrick (game-high 18 points), hit two free throws, putting SM South ahead, 47-46. Junior Allison Hines hit two more with 35 seconds left following a Free State turnover.

Casady said the Firebirds lost their composure as SM South chipped away at the lead: “We started to rush a little more and didn’t get the shots that we wanted.”

Issues with composure continued, Kirkpatrick added, as SM South went to the foul line and converted on eight of its 11 fourth-quarter tries “We had a couple calls that didn’t go our way, and we got so frustrated we just lost sight of the game,” Kirkpatrick said.

“We were more worried

about other things, and it came back to bite us.”

The most puzzling part of the loss for Duncan was that FSHS had played so well the first 10-plus minutes of the second half before the game slipped away.

“We’ve got to figure out how to adjust, because that’s twice now we’ve blown a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter,” Duncan said, referring to Free State’s season-opening, two-point loss at Topeka Seaman. “Certainly, as coaches, we’ve got to figure out what buttons to push to make sure we’re successful in those situations. I really like our team against anybody with a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter.”

FSHS (No. 4 in Class 6A) will play host to Olathe Northwest (No. 8) on Friday.

The Knicks want that title now, but Carmelo Anthony and his teammates were reminded how tough the Celtics can make it.

Anthony had 20 points but shot 6-of-26 while battling his temper, Garnett and foul trouble. J.R. Smith led the Knicks with 24 points.

Notre Dame wins! (in not-football) The Associated Press

No. 17 Notre Dame 66, No. 21 Cincinnati 60 CINCINNATI — Jerian Grant scored 19 points, and Notre Dame used its patient offense to get open shots for a victory that extended Cincinnati’s homecourt misery.

Notre Dame (14-1, 2-0 Big East) has won 12 straight for the first time since 2006-07. The 14-1 mark is the best start during coach Mike Brey’s 13 seasons.

The Fighting Irish did it their way, passing for open shots on the perimeter and spreading out a defense that has been Cincinnati’s strength. Notre Dame shot 50 percent from the field and went 9-of-16 behind the arc.

Cincinnati (13-3, 1-2) wore new, all-black uniforms — Notre Dame wore white — for a home game that took on extra significance. The Bearcats opened the season 120, then lost two of their last three games, falling to New Mexico and St. John’s at home.

They have lost three

straight at home for the first time since 2006-07, coach Mick Cronin’s first season picking up the pieces from coach Bob Huggins’ ouster.

The school celebrated its impressive start by having President Santa J. Ono get his head shaved on the court afterward.

Ono agreed to lose his hair if the Bearcats won 10 in a row, turning the streak into a fundraising opportunity for a charity.

Then, the Bearcats went out in their new uniforms and lost again. Sean Kilpatrick led Cincinnati with 15 points.

The Bearcats extended their man-to-man defense beyond the arc, trying to take away Notre Dame’s best feature. They couldn’t do it.

The Fighting Irish lead the Big East and rank fifth nationally shooting 59.8 percent from the field.

They went 12-of-18 from behind the arc during a 9374 win over Seton Hall on Saturday, setting a school record for a Big East game.

Scott Martin made six of his seven three-point attempts in that one.

When Cincinnati clamped down on the perimeter, 6-foot-9 forward Jack Cooley got openings inside. He finished with 11 points and eight rebounds NOTRE DAME (14-1) Cooley 5-13 1-2 11, Atkins 3-7 3-5 10, Martin 4-7 0-0 12, Grant 7-10 3-3 19, Connaughton 3-7 2-3 10, Biedscheid 0-1 0-0 0, Sherman 2-3 0-0 4.

No. 5 Indiana 74, Penn State 51 STATE COLLEGE, PA. — Christian Watford scored 16 points, Jordan Hulls added 14 and Indiana used a big first-half run to race past Penn State.

The Hoosiers’ breakneck offense could rarely be stopped in the first half before the pace slowed down in a sloppy second half. But it barely mattered after In-

diana (14-1, 2-0 Big Ten) built a 19-point lead in the first half behind Watford’s inside-out game and Hulls’ quick-release jumpers.

No wonder Indiana had the top scoring offense in the nation (87.9 points) entering Monday night.

Jermaine Marshall had 11 points for the Nittany Lions (8-6, 0-2), which had a five-game home winning streak snapped. Ross Travis added 14 points and five rebounds.

Penn State found some success attacking the lane, but just couldn’t keep up with the quicker, more talented Hoosiers.

‘Abolitionists’ better than expected The history of noble and righteous people can often be dull.

So I was apprehensive about “The Abolitionists” on “American Experience” (8 p.m., PBS), a three-part documentary that airs on Tuesdays through Jan. 22.

I’m happy to say, my fears were unfounded. This documentary arrives, like Steven Spielberg’s well-received “Lincoln,” to coincide with the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation.

A blend of re-enactment and talking head narration, “Abolitionists” is character-driven. It concentrates on writer/publisher William Lloyd Garrison; Frederick Douglass, a former slave turned orator and author; Angelina Grimke, raised in one of South Carolina’s most prominent plantation families; and Harriet Beecher Stowe, whose sentimental 1852 novel, “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” helped transform the anti-slavery movement from a radical fringe to a popularly accepted notion. ‘‘Abolitionists” does a good job of reminding us just how extreme the notion of liberating all slaves seemed when Garrison first started printing “The Liberator” in 1831. Slavery was an institution, and slaves as property constituted the most valuable asset in the American economy. To challenge slavery was an assault on private property itself.

We’re also reminded how these radicals were both buttressed and inspired by deep religious faith.

As one detractor remarks, abolitionists were often dismissed as “moral monomaniacs.” It’s fascinating to note that this movement transformed American society in a single generation. ‘‘Abolitionists” is not without its juicy side, concentrating on the rifts that emerged between Garrison and Douglass. After the former slave eclipsed his onetime mentor, Garrison began to spread rumors of adultery to bring him down a peg. Some things, it seems, never change.

Tonight’s other highlights:

“History Detectives” (7 p.m., PBS) examines an artifact linked to our national anthem.

Mindy’s brother threatens to drop out of school on “The Mindy Project” (8:30 p.m., Fox).

Lamb falls into hostile hands on “Vegas” (9 p.m., CBS).

Joel and Julia fret on “Parenthood” (9 p.m., NBC).

Amelia takes a chance on “Private Practice” (9 p.m., ABC).

Evidence leads Raylan to a suspect in his own family on the season premiere of “Justified” (9 p.m., FX).

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

Chiefs ‘made decision easy’ for Reid KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — The first call that Andy Reid received came from Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt.

Reid had just been dismissed after coaching the Eagles for 14 seasons and was back at his office after addressing his team one last time. The phone rang, and Hunt was on the other end, asking whether Reid would be interested in a face-to-face meeting two days later.

“There are certain families that stand out, and the Hunt family is just tops,” Reid said of the family that founded the franchise 53 years ago. “They’re phenomenal.”

The meeting was set for Wednesday in Philadelphia, and Reid’s agent, Bob LaMonte, figured it would take about three hours. But when Reid got in front of Hunt, the two hit it off so well that time kept slipping away — four hours, then six, then eight hours of conversations.

After nine hours, it became clear that Reid would be the Chiefs’ next coach.

He was introduced Monday at a packed news conference at Arrowhead Stadium, taking over a once-proud franchise that went 2-14 last season and hasn’t won a playoff game since 1993.

“There was a certain energy that started with Clark and radiated through the other people I met with, and it was just great,” Reid said. “You got the feeling that this was

NEW CHIEFS COACH ANDY REID TALKS TO THE MEDIA during a news conference Monday at Arrowhead Stadium. right. It was the right thing to do. It made the decision easy. I crossed my fingers that I’d be offered the job.”

Reid agreed to a fiveyear deal, a person with knowledge of the contract told the Associated Press.

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

He takes over for Romeo Crennel, who was fired the Monday after his first full season.

“Sometimes change is good,” said Reid, who coached the Eagles to a 4-12 record this season, dragging down his career record of 130-93-1. “It

could be tremendous for the Philadelphia Eagles, and at the same time, I think it’s going to be tremendous for the Kansas City Chiefs.”

Reid said he’s met with the current Chiefs assistant coaches, but would not say whether any of them will be retained.

Reid did say he plans to bring along some of his staff from Philadelphia, and quarterbacks coach Doug Pederson is one of the hot names.

Reid also said he’ll sit in on interviews for the Chiefs’ general manager, but he’ll leave the final decision up to Hunt. The

Chiefs parted ways with Scott Pioli on Friday after four tumultuous seasons, just hours before Reid agreed to his deal.

Among the candidates for the job are former Browns general manager Tom Heckert and longtime Packers personnel man John Dorsey, both of whom have a history with Reid.

Reid said he’s already started to dig into the current Chiefs roster — he had already watched video of all 16 games last season by the time he was interviewed. And he said he’s buoyed by the fact that the Chiefs have five

players who were voted to the Pro Bowl, and they’ll have the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft for the first time in franchise history.

That should allow Reid and the Chiefs’ retooled front office to start filling holes, the biggest of which is at quarterback, where Matt Cassel and Brady Quinn struggled all season.

“I’m going to dig in and look at that and we’ll build that thing,” Reid said.

“We’ll see how that works out, but I need to spend some time at that.”

Reid certainly has experience in rebuilding a franchise.

The Eagles were 3-13 before he arrived in 1999. He drafted Donovan McNabb with the No. 2 pick in that year’s draft, won five games the following year and then went 11-5 and finished second in the NFC East — the first of five straight seasons in which he won at least 11 games.

“When I look at the Chiefs, I look at the bigger picture. What are they truly about? What are they made of?” Reid said.

“Every organization goes through a lull, personnel changes, players grow old, they change. Maybe a draft pick here or there didn’t work, a free agent didn’t work. That happens. What’s the grit of the organization?

“I’ve been in this thing long enough to appreciate that,” Reid said. “I came from a great organization.

I wanted to make sure I had that opportunity to be

again in a great organization.”

That’s part of the reason that Reid did his homework on the Chiefs.

In the time between Hunt’s initial phone call and that first meeting in Philadelphia, Reid reached out to former Eagles and Chiefs coach Dick Vermeil.

Reid wanted to know about the Hunt family, about the organization and whether it might be the right fit.

“I just told him to go.

That was the first thing,” Vermeil told the AP. “He asked, ‘Well, can I win there?’ And I said, ‘Andy, you can win anywhere.’”

He ultimately chose to win in Kansas City.

After that lengthy meeting in Philadelphia, Hunt said he still wasn’t sure whether Reid was truly on the hook. But the following day, Reid canceled an interview with Arizona and decided not to pursue interest from San Diego, and instead scheduled a trip to visit Kansas City.

When he arrived on Friday, he was tailed to Arrowhead Stadium by helicopters from local television stations. Every step he took was watched by fans that had been pining all season for change. A few of them even showed up with footballs, hoping to land his autograph.

He signed his name, adding “Go Chiefs.”

Reid said he didn’t consider taking time off.

“I’m ready to go. This is what I do,” he said. “Never took that into consideration.”
