State traffic deaths tied to alcohol plummet ———

DUI ignition interlock law may be partly responsible for decline in fatalities

By Shaun Hittle and Ian Cummings sdhittle@ljworld.com, icummings@ljworld.com

For the second straight year, the number of alcohol-related traffic fatalities in Kansas has dropped, according to preliminary data from the Kansas Department of Transportation.

Such deaths were nearly cut in half between 2011, when the state recorded 102 deaths, and 2012, which recorded 57.

Alcohol-related traffic accidents also declined in 2012 to 2,184, the lowest number in more than a decade.

The decreasing trend comes after years of increases in alcohol-related traffic fatalities and accidents in the state, while the rest of the nation has seen a steady decline.

Pete Bodyk, traffic safety manager for KDOT, said it’s encouraging news in an area lawmakers and public safety officials have emphasized in recent years.

“It’s been one of the toughest things” figuring out how to cut alcohol-related traffic fatalities and accidents, Bodyk said.

Though it’s difficult to pinpoint an exact cause and effect, Bodyk points to the DUI ignition interlock law, effective July 2011, that

The number of people killed in Kansas auto accidents rose 4 percent in 2012 to 402 deaths, according to preliminary data from the Kansas Department of Transportation.

Pete Bodyk, KDOT traffic safety manager, said the reason for the increase isn’t clear, and the state has seen a general decline for more than a decade.

But as officials sort through last year’s reports, they’ll be looking at distracted driving, a spike in pedestrian accidents, increased speed limits and failure to wear seat belts as possible contributors to the deadly accidents.

KDOT officials suspect distracted driving, including texting and cellphone use, may play a role in keeping the fatality numbers high, but in many accidents there may not be actual evidence of this.

Some other key numbers from state statistics:

Pedestrian fatalities jumped from 20 to 30 last year, with many killed trying to cross highways.

In July 2011, speed limits increased from 70 to 75 mph along most of the Kansas Turnpike and U.S. highways 69 and 81.

63 percent of fatality victims were not wearing seat belts.

the report said only 46.1 percent of Kansas 3- and 4-year-olds were enrolled in preschool, compared with 47.9 percent nationally.

Aligning standards One area where Kansas showed up poorly compared with the rest of the country deals with “transitions and alignment,” or the extent to which states “connect the K-12 education system with early learning, higher education and the world of work.”

But that’s an area that’s been a focus of efforts recently between the Kansas State Department of Education, which supervises K-12 schools, and the Kansas Board of Regents, which supervises public universities, and officials say they believe Kansas’ score should go up in the future.

“That’s part of what our college and career ready standards bring to the table, that kind of alignment with post-secondary education,” said KSDE spokeswoman Kathy Toelkes. “As we continue to focus on college and career readiness, I would expect those things would improve as well.”

For example, Kansas was marked as “in progress” on having a formal definition of college readiness and career readiness.

Those definitions were formally adopted by the Kansas State Board of Education last month.

Kansas was also marked down for not requiring college preparation classes for a high school diploma or for aligning high school course credit requirements with postsecondary requirements.

But the report made no mention of Kansas’ long-standing “qualified admissions standards,” which define the courses and GPA students need to gain automatic admission to state universities.

Although high school students can graduate without taking that pre-college battery of classes, all districts are required to make those

One proposed change would transfer a leadership panel’s power to make committee assignments to the Senate president.

Some Republicans view the current practice that has been in place since the 1950s as unwieldy. proposals will be formally presented to the Senate when legislators open their annual session Monday, and senators are expected to vote on them Tuesday.

They should make the Senate “smoother” and “more transparent,” said King, who helped draft the measures.

Republicans hold a 32-8 Senate majority, and the proposed changes were drafted by its Organization, Calendar and Rules Committee. Only Republicans serve on the ninemember panel, including the president, vice president and majority leader.

But Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, a Topeka Democrat, is supporting the proposed changes because the new rules panel would include a Democrat. Also, another proposed change would require a two-thirds majority to make rules changes after the first few days of each legislative session.

“That’s beneficial to the rights of the minority,” Hensley said.

Decades ago, Senate rules vested the power to make appointments with the lieutenant governor, who presided over the chamber. GOP sena-

classes available to their students.

Other standards The Quality Counts report also gave grades and rankings in three other areas, but those sections were not updated since the 2012 report was issued, a spokeswoman for the project said. Those included:

K-12 achievement, where Kansas received a D+, ranking 26th in the country. Although Kansas students performed better than the national average on NAEP reading and math tests in 2011, those scores were little improved since 2003, while most other states saw bigger gains in their scores.

In addition, Kansas saw a widening achievement gap between low-income and higher-income students over that time while the rest of the nation reduced those gaps.

Standards, assessments and accountability, where Kansas earned a B-, but ranked 34th in the country. The state was marked down for using exclusively multiplechoice questions on its tests.

And the teaching profession, where Kansas earned a D+, raking 37th in the nation. There, Kansas was marked down mainly for low pay and lack of funding for professional development. According to the report’s parity index, average teacher salaries in Kansas are only 88.4 percent of average salaries for comparable occupations that typically require a bachelor’s degree or higher to gain entry.

tors accepted the practice when a Republican held the office and didn’t clash with them, but the 1950s saw internal GOP strife and in 1956, a Democrat was elected lieutenant governor.

The GOP majority in 1957 then formed a Committee on Committees to make assignments. A change in the state constitution in 1972 removed the lieutenant governor from presiding over the Senate, but a committee remained.

King said the Organization, Calendar and Rules Committee was willing to transfer its power over committee assignments to the president because such a practice is common in other states. Also, in the Kansas House, the speaker has the power to make all committee assignments.

Some senators wanted to establish a rules panel after years of what they felt were inconsistent decisions from various senators presiding over debates. Senators can overrule such decisions, but the votes have tended to follow their views on the legislation being debated.

In the House, when a dispute arises, its rules committee huddles immediately, and the chairman announces a ruling. Even some senators view the House’s system as more even-handed.

“It helps when the members have confidence in consistent rules interpretations,” said King, who as vice president would serve as chairman of the new rules panel.

“It makes the body work more smoothly.”

Bodyk also said increasing efforts by police have most likely helped curb the numbers.

“It’s more the awareness that law enforcement are out there,” Bodyk said.

Bodyk said he’d like to see two more years of decreasing numbers before he calls the decrease a trend.

Though the numbers across Kansas have dropped, Lawrence saw a number of high-profile alcohol-related incidents in 2012, including an accident where a Kansas University student lost his legs, and a mid-day headon crash involving a repeat DUI offender.

Officials fear Legislature may look to local governments to solve state budget problems

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

Representatives of local governing bodies Wednesday urged Douglas County legislators to try to keep the Kansas Legislature from hurting them.

“We are doing the best we can to prepare for the worst,” said Douglas County Commissioner Nancy Thellman. “Our hope is

That leaves a $733 million hole — nearly 12 percent of current spending — that has to be filled through either budget cuts, increased taxes Please see BUDGET, page 4A

After things seemed a bit worrisome last month, local United Way leaders now say they’re projecting the organization’s 2012 campaign will raise at least $1.7 million, matching the previous year’s effort.

That will ensure that the county’s United Way-funded agencies will receive similar amounts of support in the coming year.

On Dec. 20, leaders had said the campaign was still about $700,000 short of its goal of $1.8 million. At that point, the effort was about $100,000 behind the pace set the previous year.

“It was a little nervewracking back then,” said Colleen Gregoire, vice president and campaign manager for the United Way of Douglas County.

Since then, leaders decided to scale back the campaign’s goal to a more “rea- Dvorske sonable” $1.7 million, which would match the contributions from the 2011 campaign, said Erika Dvorske, president and CEO of the local group.

But in a difficult year for fundraising, that goal still required a good deal of generosity from donors during the last few weeks, Dvorske said.

“It was really spectacular, people stepping up in all kinds of ways,” Dvorske said.

Gregoire said some “generous donors” had stepped up since Dec. 20.

“We’ve kind of closed the gap,” she said.

The United Way won’t release the final campaign total until a celebration event at the end of February. Some contributions are still coming in, including workplace donations from Douglas County residents who work outside the county.

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The United States suffers far more violent deaths than any other wealthy nation, due in part to the widespread possession of firearms and the practice of storing them at home in a place that is often unlocked, according to a report released Wednesday by two of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading health research institutions.

Gun violence is just one of many factors contributing to lower U.S. life expectancy, but the finding took on urgency because the report comes less than a month after the shooting deaths of 26 people at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn.

The United States has about six violent deaths per 100,000 residents.

None of the 16 other countries included in the review came anywhere close to that ratio. Finland was closest to the U.S. ranking with slightly more than two violent deaths per 100,000 residents.

For many years, Americans have been dying at younger ages that people in almost all other wealthy countries. In addition to the impact of gun violence, Americans consume the most calories among peer countries and get involved in more accidents that involve alcohol. The U.S. also suffers higher rates of drug-related deaths, infant mortality and AIDS. The result is that the life expectancy for men in the United States ranked the lowest among the 17 countries reviewed, at 75.6 years, while the life expectancy for U.S. women ranked second lowest at 80.7 years. The countries reviewed in-

Biden vows action against gun violence WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Vice President Joe Biden vowed urgent action against gun violence in America Wednesday, pledging steps by the Obama administration that he said could â&#x20AC;&#x153;take thousands Biden of people out of harmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wayâ&#x20AC;? and improve the safety of millions more.

But a day ahead of a meeting with the National Rifle Association, which has sunk past gun control efforts and is opposing any new ones, Biden signaled that the administration is mindful of political realities that could imperil sweeping gun control legislation, cluded Canada, Japan, Australia and much of Western Europe.

The U.S. has long lagged in life expectancy compared with other economically developed nations.

In this study, researchers culled existing studies to examine why. Most statistics in the report are from the late 1990s through 2008.

The report found that U.S. health disadvantages arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t limited to the poor and uninsured. Even white, college-educated, and wealthier Americans tend to be in worse health than their peers in other developed countries.

The nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health disadvantages have economic consequences. They lead to higher costs for consumers and taxpayers as well as a workforce that remains less healthy than that of other high-income countries.

and is willing to settle for something less. He said the administration is considering its own executive action as well as measures

by Congress, but he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t offer specifics. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to make it clear that we are not going to get caught up in the notion that unless we can do everything, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to do nothing,â&#x20AC;?

Biden told an array of gun control advocates, crime victims and others at the White House. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s critically important we act.â&#x20AC;?

Shortly after last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slaughter of schoolchildren at Newtown, Conn., President Barack Obama tasked Biden with heading a commission to come up with recommendations on gun policy by the end of this month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With lives and dollars at stake, the United States cannot afford to ignore this problem,â&#x20AC;? said the report from the National Research Council and the Institute of Medicine.

In attempting to explain why Americans are so unhealthy, the researchers looked at three categories: the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health care system, harmful behaviors and social and economic conditions.

Researchers noted that the U.S. has a large uninsured population compared to other countries with comparable economies, and more limited access to primary care.

And although the income of Americans is higher on average than that of other wealthy countries, the United States also has a higher level of poverty, especially among children.

Lawrence Mayor Bob Schumm said he hoped the Legislature wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fix its budget problems by pushing more of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responsibilities onto local governments.

And he said he was vehemently opposed to proposed legislation that would allow concealed carry of guns in public buildings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think we need to carry more guns in public buildings. That creates a huge problem for us,â&#x20AC;?

Schumm said.

Thellman said Douglas County has already been hit hard by previous budget cuts at the state level in mental health services and other areas.

She also urged legislators to oppose expanding a property tax expansion on machinery and equipment. Such an expansion would reduce county revenue by $3 million and all governing units in the county by $12 million, she said.

Thellman said she realized that the Legislature, which became more conservative after last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elections, is in the mood to cut the state budget. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We ask you to make the case for the smallest possible cuts to our budgets,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Lawrence school Superintendent Rick Doll said increases in base state aid per student would be a top priority of the district.

Base state aid has been cut to $3,838 per pupil over the years when the Legislature had earlier promised $4,492 in base state aid per pupil.

Tim Caboni, vice chancellor for public affairs for Kansas University, said the school was seeking funding increases for specific initiatives to train more physicians.

One of those would be a $1 million commitment in the next fiscal year in planning funds for a proposed $75 million medical education building.

U.S. tax code longer than Bible — without the good news

By Stephen Ohlemacher Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Too intimidated to fill out your tax return without help?

Join the club.

At nearly 4 million words, the U.S. tax law is so thick and complicated that businesses and individuals spend more than 6 billion hours a year complying with filing requirements, according to a report Wednesday by an independent government watchdog.

That’s the equivalent of 3 million people working full time, year-round.

“If tax compliance were an industry, it would be one of the largest in the United States,” says the report by Nina E. Olson, the National Taxpayer Advocate.

The days of most taxpayers sitting down with a pencil and a calculator to figure out their taxes are long gone, Olson said.

Since 2001, Congress has made almost 5,000 changes to U.S. tax law. That’s an average of more than one a day.

As a result, almost 60 percent of filers will pay someone to prepare their tax returns this spring. An additional 30 percent will use commercial software.

Without the help, Olson says, most taxpayers would be lost.

“On the one hand, taxpayers who honestly seek to comply with the law often make inadvertent errors, causing them to either overpay their tax or become subject to IRS enforcement action for mistaken underpayments,” Olson said. “On the other hand, sophisticated taxpayers often find loopholes that enable them to reduce or eliminate their tax liabilities.”

Olson ranks complexity as the most serious tax problem facing taxpayers

“

Our broken tax code has become a nightmare of loopholes and special interest provisions that create added complexities and costs for hardworking taxpayers and small businesses.”

— U.S. Rep. Dave Camp, chairman of the House and Ways and Means Committee and the Internal Revenue Service in her annual report to Congress. She urges lawmakers to overhaul the nation’s tax laws, making them simpler, clearer and easier to comply with.

Momentum is building in Congress to overhaul the tax code for the first time since 1986. But Washington’s divided government has yet to show it can successfully tackle such a task.

President Barack Obama and Republican leaders in Congress say they are onboard, though they have rarely seen eye to eye on tax policy. They struggled mightily just to avoid the year-end “fiscal cliff,” passing a bill that makes relatively small changes in the nation’s tax laws.

Undaunted, the top tax writer in the House says he is determined to pass reform legislation this year.

“This report confirms that the code is 10 times the size of the Bible with none of the good news,” said Rep. Dave Camp, chairman of the House and Ways and Means Committee. “Our broken tax code has become a nightmare of loopholes and special interest provisions that create added complexities and costs for hardworking taxpayers and small businesses.”

BRIEFLY Iranians freed in major prisoner swap DAMASCUS, SYRIA — Rebels freed 48 Iranians on Wednesday in exchange for more than 2,000 prisoners, including women and children, held by Syrian authorities — a deal struck after rare negotiations involving regional powers Turkey, Qatar and Iran.

It was the first major prisoner swap since the uprising began against President Bashar Assad nearly 22 months ago.

Iran is one of Assad’s main allies, and the Iranians, who were seized outside Damascus in August, were a major bargaining chip for factions trying to bring down his regime in the civil war that has killed more than 60,000 people.

Obama Cabinet shuffle taking shape WASHINGTON — The composition of President Barack Obama’s second term Cabinet became clearer Wednesday, with Labor Secretary Hilda Solis resigning and three other members of the president’s team deciding to stay on amid concerns about diversity in Obama’s inner circle.

Solis, a former California congresswoman and one of the highest-ranking Hispanics in the Cabinet, said she was departing after leading the department during the economic storms of the first term. She was the nation’s first Hispanic labor secretary.

A White House official said three Cabinet members — Attorney General Eric Holder, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki — would stay on as the second term begins.

It would ensure diversity among the president’s leadership team — Holder is black, Sebelius is a woman and Shinseki is of JapaneseAmerican descent.

Also Wednesday, it was learned Obama will nominate White House chief of staff Jack Lew to be his second-term Secretary of the Treasury.

The nomination is expected today.

2 Kan. bases make short list for Air Force tankers

By Roxana Hegeman Associated Press

WICHITA — The Air Force has selected both McConnell Air Force Base in Wichita and Forbes Airfield in Topeka as finalists for basing the new KC46A air refueling tankers.

U.S. Sens. Jerry Moran and Pat Roberts said Wednesday that both installations are finalists for main operating bases for active duty and National Guard sites. McConnell is also a finalist to house the tanker flight training school.

McConnell is competing against other activeduty bases, while Forbes is competing against other Air National Guard bases in a separate category.

Starting in 2017, the base chosen as the main operating base will support 36 active-duty KC46A tankers, while 12 tankers would be based at the associated Air National Guard base.

The two Republican senators from Kansas said the decision shows the Air Force recognizes the critical role the state plays in national security and global air mobility.

“Today’s selection of not just one, but both

Kansas Air Force bases is a testament to the critical role our state plays in supporting all branches of our military and allied partners as they carry out missions overseas and at home,” Moran said in a statement.

Roberts said in a phone interview that he does not expect the so-called fiscal cliff negotiations in Washington to affect the number of the new refueling tankers needed to replace the aging KC-135 tankers.

“We know that the current fleet cannot be sustained,” Roberts said. “We have a third of the fleet on the ground getting fixed up.”

Roberts said a final decision on the selection could be made later this year.

“McConnell Air Force Base provides the perfect fit for the new KC-46A and would strengthen the base’s long-term future here in the Air Capital of the World,” U.S. Rep. Mike Pompeo said.

Gov. Sam Brownback said the selection of the Kansas bases as finalists is another confirmation of the “tremendous value” the state’s military installations provide to the nation’s defense.

EDITORIALS

Children in need State assistance policies that are driving more Kansas children into poverty need to be re-examined.

G

ov. Sam Brownback is defending his administration’s new approach to programs designed to help poor families in Kansas, but the numbers are troubling.

According to news reports, the number of people receiving Temporary Aid for Needy Families has declined by 38 percent since the state instituted stricter rules for the payments in October 2011.

That’s about 15,000 Kansans who no longer receive welfare payments aimed at sustaining the state’s poorest families.

Among that number are 9,000 children, whose families no longer receive TANF. If all of those people were successfully making the transition to self-sufficiency, there would be no cause for concern.

Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be the case. Since the Great Recession began in 2008, the number of Kansas families living in poverty has risen by about 80,000 people. During that same period, the child poverty rate in Kansas has increased from 14.5 percent to 18.8 percent.

That’s nearly one in five Kansas children living in poverty.

On Monday, Brownback defended the new system, saying that most of the decline in families receiving TANF money is the result of a new requirement that they be actively looking for jobs. According to the regulations, that means people must make 20 job contacts each week. Brownback called that “a pretty modest requirement,” but it may not be so easy for some people, especially those living in small towns or rural areas, to achieve. A representative of the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services said that mothers with infants in their homes don’t have to meet that requirement, and caseworkers have “a certain amount of flexibility” in how that requirement is applied.

It’s certainly reasonable to try to motivate people on welfare to get a job, but if, as the governor suggested, the arbitrary new job requirement is the primary reason that 9,000 Kansas children have been thrown into poverty, the state should reconsider its stand.

Childhood poverty has many consequences, many of which will be costly to the state as those children grow up: problems in school, juvenile offenses, general lack of civic engagement and others.

Whatever the state is saving now by cracking down on public assistance funding may cost it much more dearly in the years to come.

Fiscal ‘victory’ costly for Democrats “Even victors are by victories undone.”

— John Dryden WASHINGTON — Democrats not allergic to arithmetic must know the cost of their “fiscal cliff” victory. When they flinched from allowing all of George W. Bush’s tax rates, especially those on middle-class incomes, to expire, liberalism lost its nerve and began what will be a long slide into ludicrousness.

Those temporary rates were enacted in 2001, when only 28 House Democrats supported them, and in 2003, when only seven did. But with the “American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012” — did liberals think about that title? — 172 House Democrats voted to make the Bush income-tax rates permanent for all but 0.7 percent of taxpayers — individuals earning more than $400,000 and couples earning more than $450,000.

Liberals could have had a revenue increase of $3.7 trillion over 10 years. Instead, they surrendered nearly $3.1 trillion of that. They cannot have repeated bites at this apple. They cannot now increase government revenues as a share of GDP through tax reform because Republicans insist that the Taxpayer Relief Act closed the revenue question. And because tax reform is dead for the foreseeable future, so are hopes for a revenue surge produced by vigorous economic growth.

No numerate person thinks

“

Liberals could have had a revenue increase of $3.7 trillion over 10 years. Instead, they surrendered nearly $3.1 trillion of that.” today’s entitlement state, let alone the steady expansion of it that is liberalism’s aspiration, can be funded by taxing the income of the 0.7 percent of taxpayers whose rates were just raised. Or the 2 percent whose rates would have been raised had liberals and their president simply allowed the automatic increase of rates for individuals earning more than $200,000 and couples earning more than $250,000.

Because 82 percent of American earners pay more in payroll taxes than income taxes, no politically conceivable or economically feasible middle-class tax rate can fund the entitlement state. And America’s political culture rules out funding it with new consumption or energy taxes.

By rescuing almost everyone from restoration of Clinton-

era rates, liberals abandoned any pretense of paying for their program of ever-expanding entitlements.

From 1950 to 2000, economic growth averaged 3.6 percent; since then it has averaged less than 2 percent. Liberals think today’s correlation between the slow economic growth and rapid governmental growth — including under George W. Bush — is a coincidence. Conservatives do not.

And they note some recent actions, done in December’s bright light of public attention and fiscal anxiety, which indicate that this government’s indiscipline is incorrigible and shameless. Consider one detail in the Taxpayer Relief Act, and an issue pertinent to the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.

Years ago, Congress decided that, to save the planet, there should be tax credits to bribe Americans to buy electric cars.

Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., believes it only fair that buyers of electric motorcycles, some of which are made in Oregon, not get left out of the bribery business. Thanks to the Taxpayer Relief Act, they won’t.

People who choose to live in places vulnerable to flooding believe it would be unfair that the cost of their property insurance fully reflect this risk. So government subsidizes their insurance, and hence their decision to live where there is increased risk of property damage that, when it happens, the government helps pay to rebuild.

Today’s government, whose railroad, Amtrak, lost $834 million over the last 10 years just on its food service, has neither wit nor will to stop subsidizing electric motorcycles or to reform flood insurance. Hence Republicans should rally ‘round one of several wellrefined constitutional amendments requiring balanced budgets. Such an amendment would be popular everywhere, but especially in six states important in 22 months.

Republicans need to gain six seats to win Senate control in 2014, when Democrats will be defending 20 seats, Republicans only 13. Six Democratic incumbents represent states in which Barack Obama received less than 42 percent of the 2012 vote — Montana’s Max Baucus (41.7), Alaska’s Mark Begich (40.8), Louisiana’s Mary Landrieu (40.6), South Dakota’s Tim Johnson (39.9), Arkansas’ Mark Pryor (36.9) and West Virginia’s Jay Rockefeller (35.5).

Sixty-seven Senate votes are needed to send a proposed amendment to the states for ratification. There are 45 Republican senators. There are nowhere near 22 Democrats who would vote for an amendment Republicans could support. Still, Republicans, whose divisions cause Democratic gloating, could use a balanced budget amendment to divide Democrats who threw the remnants of their fiscal selfrespect off the cliff.

Exposed.

That, in a word, is how you feel when someone broadcasts your home address without your knowledge, against your wishes. Your correspondent speaks from experience. Six years ago when white supremacists published my home address and phone number on their websites, the first thing I felt was vulnerable.

The folks at the Journal News newspaper in New York state would doubtless say it was not their intention to do anything like that when they published online maps of gun ownership in their area. But intention and effect are two completely different things.

The maps show dots covering two suburban New York counties — Westchester and Rockland — like a rash, one for each of the 33,614 persons who is licensed to own a handgun there. Had it been the intention of the paper simply to illustrate the ubiquity of guns, those graphics would have done the job nicely.

But the paper did not stop there. Click on any one dot and up comes the name and home address of the gun owner in question.

Gun owners nationwide have been furious ever since the maps went up a few days before Christmas. They have a right to be.

Mind you, they have no right to send threatening notes, or packets of white powder (later deemed harmless) to the newsroom, no right to harass employees of the newspaper, as some have done. Such behavior lends new meaning to the term “gun nuts.” But, that said, yes, they do have a right to be angry.

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

“

This is not about freedom of the press or freedom to own guns. It is, rather, about the freedom to be left alone…”

The paper has confronted the storm of controversy, including a call for an advertiser boycott, by pointing out that the information it published is not private. As reporter Dwight R. Worley (himself a registered gun owner) noted in an accompanying article, “Anyone can find out the names and addresses of handgun owners in any county with a simple Freedom of Information Law request.”

But that, again, misses the point. There is a qualitative difference between information that is public in the sense that anyone who is so inclined can go dig it out, and information that is public because it has been broadly publicized.

Would you publish a database of people who have filed for bankruptcy? People who have been foreclosed?

People who have tax liens? Or would you say this information, while public, has no news value; tells a reader nothing he needs to know and does so at a price of discomfiting some

law-abiding citizen, putting their business in the street?

Yes, it can be argued that guns are different because, while legal, they also embody legitimate concerns for personal safety. But it can also be argued that if you really want to know if your neighbor has a gun, you can ask — or, if that is not an option, you can look it up.

The Journal News database seems an act of excess, the sort of thing that is done because it can be done, with little thought given to the consequences of the doing.

And if one consequence is that some New York state gun owners feel exposed, the larger consequence for all of us is a further chipping away of private spaces, a further compromise of the increasingly quaint idea that one has a right to live peacefully and an expectation to not be bothered in so doing.

This is not about freedom of the press or freedom to own guns. It is, rather, about the freedom to be left alone, and whether that’s still sustainable or whether henceforth we must all live exposed. The technology being what it is, it’s worth remembering that the answer to that question, whatever it may be, will be shaped both by journalists and by those who are not.

Consider that, while some gun owners vented their anger by making threats and sending baking soda in the mail, others expressed themselves more pointedly. They posted home addresses for Journal News employees online.

ZZ plant is also called Zanzibar gem, aroid palm, fat boy and eternity plant. Sometimes the letters are spelled out as zee-zee plant. Reed says she purchased a ZZ plant last summer with a tag that just said “Plants of Steel.”

Whatever you call it, ZZ plant appears to be a real gem of a plant for the home or office.

It can also be grown outside in the summer but is only hardy to USDA Hardiness Zone 9.

(Lawrence is in Zone 6.)

Besides being able to tolerate low light conditions, ZZ plant requires little water and fertilizer. The plant also grows slowly, reducing the need for frequent re-potting.

Reed’s ZZ plant lives in an office with only overhead fluorescent lighting and dark weekends, and she waters only when the soil dries out.

If you are lucky enough to have more light available, ZZ plant can handle bright light

ZAMIOCULCAS ZAMIIFOLIA — also known as ZZ or zee-zee plant, Zanzibar gem, aroid palm, fat boy and eternity plant — is an indoor plant most of the year that can be coaxed to the warm outside in the summer. from a window. You could even set it outside in the shade in the summer as mentioned.

The most common problem indoor gardeners have with ZZ plant is overwatering — its roots prefer to dry out a little between waterings, so take care to water infrequently.

Reed’s ZZ plant is nearing maturity at 2 feet to 3 feet tall, although it may spread out a little more. In nature, the ZZ plant grows to about 3 feet across after it reaches its mature height.

The plant does produce flowers, but they are considered insignificant and are borne close to the base of the plant. The leaves, which are almost waxy, are what make this plant beautiful.

The University of Connecticut also notes that NASA recognizes ZZ plant for its effectiveness at air purification.

ZZ plant is fairly new to the tropical plant industry but is gaining in popularity.

Getting your own ZZ plant may take a little searching

Woodworkers praise the many faces of plywood

By Jennifer Forker Associated Press

The home-improvement and design shows make it look easy: Take a simple sheet of inexpensive plywood and presto!

In a few minutes, you’ve got a table, a cabinet or a lounge chair.

It’s not that fast or dirtcheap, but it can be that easy, according to woodworking experts who speak fondly of plywood’s many merits.

“Plywood is the starting point for many of the things I build,” says artist and designer Jimmy DiResta of New York City.

“With some imagination and inventiveness it can become anything.”

Plywood is cheaper and often stronger than solid wood, easy to find at home-improvement or lumber stores, and — darn it — it looks good.

Plywood is made from thin layers — called plies, or veneers — glued together under heat and pressure, with each ply laid perpendicular to the next. This “cross-graining” gives plywood its strength and stability, says Philip Schmidt, author of “PlyDesign” (Storey Publishing, 2012).

Since plywood comes in more than a dozen standard thicknesses and twice as many grades, check a buying guide — Home Depot has one online — before purchasing it. Schmidt recommends using a cabinet-grade material, such as Baltic birch, for do-ityourself projects. The plies are thin and even, and the exterior is smooth, sanded and blemish-free.

“Beluga caviar notwithstanding, Baltic birch plywood may be Russia’s

A PLYWOOD RELUCTANCE SOFA TABLE that can be built according to instructions in the book “Plydesign” by Philip Schmidt is shown in this undated publicity product photo. Plywood is versatile, inexpensive and easy to come by. You can find standard, seven-ply plywood at your homeimprovement store (and higher-quality plywood at your local lumber center). finest export,” Schmidt writes in his book.

“PlyDesign” includes 73 projects for novices and experienced builders. Do-ityourself project magazines such as Ready Made and Make, and online sites such as Instructables offer many other ways to use plywood.

“Plywood is inherently modern, if you think of modern as starting in the 1920s,” says Schmidt, of Denver. “It’s still beautiful wood, and it’s really easy to work with.”

A jigsaw can cut straight lines and curves, so that’s your primary tool, says Schmidt. After that, invest in a good-quality drill.

If you want to go deeper into plywood DIY, get a circular saw and a router, which helps cut out multiple pattern pieces.

“I don’t own a table saw or any stationary power tools,” says Schmidt, a project designer and author of 17 design books.

“I’m more into DIY.” DiResta recommends the jigsaw and circular saw for most plywood

projects and suggests starting out by building a storage box or simple bench. He offers video tutorials on YouTube, sponsored by Make magazine.

Plywood has its drawbacks. Schmidt warns against sand-papering through the thin top layer, ruining the look of your piece. To avoid this, use a fine-grit sandpaper, and be careful.

DiResta warns against splinters. A few years ago, he inadvertently brushed a palm against a cut edge, and a matchstick-size splinter went through his palm.

He recommends wearing gloves when cutting plywood, and sanding cut edges with a sanding block.

Then there’s “the edge thing,” as Schmidt calls it: Do you cover the exposed plywood edge or let it be?

Design will dictate, both DiResta and Schmidt say. Some modern-looking pieces look great with their plywood edges exposed, and the better quality the plywood, the better it’ll look.

but should be more available as garden center professionals learn more about the plant. The holdup is the plant’s slow growth habit, which makes it take a long time to produce a saleable plant. Reed found one of her ZZ plants at a local garden center last summer, and the one she purchased two years ago is from a garden center in a nearby community.

If you want to fertilize, limit it to once a month with a general houseplant fertilizer, and fol-

low the rate listed on the label.

Propagation is fairly easy: leaflets that fall to the ground will root and form bulblets.

Leaf cuttings can also be rooted in soil.

One downside to the ZZ plant is that all parts of the plant are poisonous to humans if ingested.

KOVEL’S ANTIQUES

Roseville Pottery highly collectible

By Terry Kovel

Roseville Pottery was founded in Roseville, Ohio, in 1890. A second Roseville plant opened in nearby Zanesville in 1898.

Early Roseville pieces were decorated with handwork, including sgraffito designs. Sgraffito is a method of scratching or carving a design into wet clay.

Roseville vases with sgraffito designs are the most expensive Roseville vases today. Later pieces were molded, and many were made with raised decorations of flowers and fruit. Almost every piece was marked with some form of the word “Roseville” or “Rozane” (a combination of the names of the two cities where the pottery’s plants were located).

But be careful. Other potteries in the town of Roseville used the word “Roseville” in their marks, and there are many modern fakes of old Roseville vases.

A vase covered with raised fish designed in 1906 by Frederick Hurten Rhead, the company’s art director, sold for $3,125 at a June 2012 Rago Arts auction in Lambertville, N.J. It was marked “GA” by the unknown artist who carved the fish.

An almost identical vase marked “ED” is known. There was a set pattern for the artists to follow for these vases, part of a Roseville line called “Della Robbia.”

Q:

We have a Cheerful Oak stove made by Channon-Emery Stove Co. It’s stamped with the number 1900, which may be the year of manufacture. Can you give us an idea of the stove’s value? It’s not in good condition.

The Channon-Emery Stove Co. was founded in about 1880 by Joseph Emery and William Channon. The company, located in Quincy, Ill., manufactured various types of heating and cooking stoves and ranges.

The Cheerful Oak model is listed as a “heater” in an 1895 issue of “The Metal Worker,” a trade journal. The Cheerful Oak was made in three sizes and was designed to burn wood or coal. Your stove, if in poor condition, would sell for about $300.

A:

Q: I read an article about old collectible cereal boxes in the Farmers Forum of Fargo, N.D. I have two Wheaties boxes picturing the 1987 World Champion Minnesota Twins. Both boxes are in perfect shape and have never been opened.

What are they worth?

A: A friend has one of the 1987 boxes,

THIS VASE is decorated with fish carved into the clay, so the designs are raised. It was estimated at $1,000-$1,500 but sold for more than $3,000 at a Rago Arts auction in Lambertville, N.J., last June. Early Roseville with hand decoration sells for more than later molded pieces. The vase is marked with the raised Rozane Ware medallion.

too. A single box, even in perfect condition, would sell for $10 to $15. If you decide to hold on to your Twins boxes, store them in archival bags. Open the boxes carefully from the bottom and empty out the cereal to prevent damage from insects.

Q: I found a large platter in my basement. I don’t know where it came from.

It’s white with a thin decorative border and the letters “U.S.L.H.S.” at the top. It is 13 by 19 1/2 inches and is marked on the back “James M. Shaw & Co., New York.” There’s also a second mark I can’t make out. Any information would be appreciated.

A: The initials on your platter stand for the United States Lighthouse Service, which was formed in 1910. It merged with the U.S. Coast Guard in 1939. The Lighthouse Service maintained all the lighthouses in the United States.

Three different patterns of dinnerware were made for the Lighthouse Service, each by a different manufacturer.

Your platter is in one of the first two patterns made.

The mark you can’t read is probably the manufacturer’s mark. James M. Shaw & Co. was a New York City distributor that was bought by Nathan Straus in 1936. So your plate was probably made between 1910 and 1936.

Value: about $1,000 because it was made for the Lighthouse Service.

Fatally, this is really “The Skip Show.” In all three episodes made available for review, his overbearing cluelessness dominates the proceedings. Jenna Elfman gets a few seconds here and there to express slap-sticky exasperation as first lady and second wife, Emily.

Dear Annie: Two years ago, I caught my husband having an emotional affair with a friend of ours.

Even though we went through counseling and he told me he was no longer in contact with her, he lied. He continued to lie for almost a year, even during our counseling sessions. In one session, he tried to blame me for his actions, and after six months, he still refused to take any responsibility for the affair.

This whole thing has made me not trust him. I recently saw an email to an ex-girlfriend from high school. He said he wished he had been a better person, and that he would be looking for a woman like her. He says they were just reminiscing about the past. I believe he is up to his old ways.

I know he wouldn’t like it if the tables were turned.

KANSAS 97, IOWA STATE 89, OT

Money in the bank

Nick Krug/Journal-World Photos

A FULL FIELDHOUSE WATCHES AS KANSAS UNIVERSITY GUARD BEN MCLEMORE (23) PUTS UP THE GAME-TYING, OVERTIME-FORCING THREE-POINTER over Iowa State guard Tyrus McGee with three seconds left in regulation. KU went on to win, 97-89, on Wednesday at Allen Fieldhouse.

McLemore calls shot, sparks KU

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Ben McLemore’s straighton, last-second 22-foot shot that banked off the backboard, dropped through the goal, tied Iowa State and caused an Allen Fieldhouse fan eruption of epic proportions Wednesday night might have been a tad bit lucky.

“It was fortunate. He didn’t call, ‘glass,’ I’m sure,” KU coach Bill Self said, grinning, after the Jayhawks rode the momentum of freshman guard McLemore’s clutch three-pointer into overtime — an OT in which the Jayhawks scored the first 11 points in a 97-89 victory over the Cyclones.

Actually, McLemore, who

Scoring droughts should be history

gave KU a quick 82-79 lead nine seconds into the overtime by cashing his sixth three of the night in six tries, playfully disagrees with his coach.

“I mean, when it left my hand, I actually called, ‘Bank,’” said McLemore, who scored 33 points — two off the freshman record of 35 set

by Danny Manning against Oklahoma State in 1985. “The way it left my hand, I knew it was going to hit the backboard. It was a good release.

It went in, so I’m glad.

“It was a great screen by Travis (Releford) and pass from Elijah (Johnson). Coming open like that, I just shot it. It felt good coming off my KANSAS CENTER JEFF WITHEY (5) and Ben McLemore stuff an attempted hand, so....” bucket by Iowa State guard Will Clyburn Please see KANSAS, page 4B during the second half.

We never would have seen just how impressively Kansas University freshman guard Ben McLemore can take over a basketball game if not for his team’s secondhalf stretch of longer than nine minutes of game clock without a field goal.

Now that McLemore showed what he can do when his team needs somebody to take the game by the throat, look for the days of long field-goal droughts to be a thing of the past for this Kansas team.

Defended well and going without a shot for long periods, McLemore still managed to score 33 points in leading Kansas to a 97-89 overtime victory against Iowa State on Wednesday night in Allen Fieldhouse.

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

He couldn’t have scored during the field goal drought that lasted 9:18. Know why?

Because he didn’t attempt a shot during the stretch in which Kansas went 0-for-10 from the field and had five turnovers. Elijah Johnson took four shots and had four turnovers. Kevin Young took two shots and turned it over once. Naadir Tharpe Please see KEEGAN, page 5B

CB McDonald thrilled to be back with Jayhawks

KANSAS CORNERBACK DEXTER MCDONALD (22) TACKLES Oklahoma wide receiver Kenny Stills in this file photo from Oct. 15, 2011, at Memorial Stadium.

An issue that led Dexter McDonald away from Kansas University’s football program the first time around turned out to be the very thing that brought him back.

Maturity.

Midway through the 2011 season, McDonald, then a red-shirt freshman from Rockhurst High in Kansas City, Mo., began getting a little playing time in the Jayhawks’ secondary and expected that more was on the way. When it didn’t come, the 6-foot-1, 220-pound cornerback became frustrated and let his disappointment affect his play and his academics.

“I didn’t do what I should’ve done in the class-

Weis said defensive coordinator Dave Campo and running-backs coach Reggie Mitchell, who served as the Jayhawks’ recruiting coordinator during McDonald’s first stint in Lawrence, played key roles in bringing McDonald back.

“Dexter, when he left, he was a little sour,” Weis said. “Reggie’s relationship with him got us to where we Please see MCDONALD, page 2B

could talk. You can’t be presumptuous that a local guy that left is going to want to get back here. But at the end of the day, he and his family all agreed that this was a different situation than the one he left, and one that he wanted to be a part of.”

Since his departure, McDonald dropped 15 pounds and became a more complete cornerback. He said he was looking forward to the opportunity to get back in his old locker room and added he believed he was ready to contribute immediately.

“First and most importantly, I’m coming to be a team player,” he said. “I want to help and do whatever I can to contribute to the team. If they want me on special teams, kicking the ball off, whatever, I’ll do it. I want to give everything I have of myself to the Kansas football program.”

From McDonald’s slightly altered point of view, the program is much different than the one he left last December.

“I think if you look at the program now, just the way it’s run, the players are more focused and disciplined,” McDonald said. “I don’t think that you can go anywhere in college and talk to coaches that can say the things that they can say to you.

Griffin undergoes surgery WASHINGTON — Robert Griffin III underwent reconstructive knee surgery Wednesday and faces a challenging rehab if he is to return for the start of next season.

The Washington Redskins quarterback had his lateral collateral ligament repaired and his ACL in his right knee reconstructed for a second time.

The surgery was performed in Florida by orthopedist James Andrews, who was optimistic that Griffin would be back on the field this fall.

“We expect a full recovery, and it is everybody’s hope and belief that due to Robert’s high motivation, he will be ready for the 2013 season,” Andrews said in a statement released by the Redskins.

NEW YORK — Steroid-tainted stars Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Sammy Sosa were denied entry to baseball’s Hall of Fame, with voters failing to elect any candidates for only the second time in four decades.

In a vote that keeps the game’s career home run leader and one of its greatest pitchers out of Cooperstown — at least for now — Bonds received just 36.2 percent of the vote and Clemens 37.6 in totals announced Wednesday by the Hall and the Baseball Writers’ Association of America, both well short of the 75 percent necessary.

Sosa, eighth on the career home run list, received 12.5 percent.

Bonds, Clemens and Sosa were eligible for the first time and have up to 14 more years on the writers’ ballot to gain baseball’s highest honor.

“After what has been written and said over the last few years I’m not overly surprised,” Clemens said in a statement he posted on Twitter.

Craig Biggio, 20th on the career list with 3,060 hits, topped the 37 candidates with 68.2 percent of the 569 ballots, 39 shy of election.

Among other first-year eligibles, Mike Piazza received 57.8 percent and Schilling 38.8.

Jack Morris led holdovers with 67.7 percent.

He will make his final ballot appearance next year, when fellow pitchers Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine along with slugger Frank Thomas are eligible for the first time.

Two-time NL MVP Dale Murphy received 18.6 percent in his 15th and final appearance.

It was the eighth time the BBWAA failed to elect any players. There were four fewer votes than last year, and five members submitted blank ballots.

KANSAS GUARD TRAVIS RELEFORD (24) PASSES AS HE WRESTLES ON THE FLOOR with Iowa State forward Melvin Ejim during the second half of the Jayhawks’ 97-89 overtime victory over the Cyclones on Wednesday at Allen Fieldhouse.

Bankshot adds insult to ISU injury

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

For all the things about Wednesday’s battle with the Kansas University men’s basketball team that Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg was proud of, there was one thing he could not get over — the ending.

After playing tough and with poise, controlling most of the second half and having Kansas down as many as six points in the final minutes, Hoiberg’s crew lost, 97-89 in overtime, a session that was made possible because of KU freshman Ben McLemore’s banked-in three-pointer with three seconds remaining.

“I wish it would’ve swished,” Hoiberg said of the heroic shot by McLemore, who scored a game- and career-high 33 points. “I’d feel better

about myself right now if that thing didn’t bank in.”

Asked why, Hoiberg was brutally honest.

“Well, it wouldn’t have seemed quite so lucky,” he said.

That was the prevailing thought from the ISU locker room as the Cyclones (10-4 overall, 0-1 Big 12) filed out of one of the toughest places to play in the country with the haunting thought of just how close they had come to winning.

“It hurts,” Hoiberg said.

“It’s gonna hurt all night long, driving back to Ames on a bus. And then you let it go. Our guys know we let one slip away. They’re very disappointed about that. But at the same time, if you can come in here and compete with a team that’s won eight league championships in a row, you can play with

IOWA STATE COACH FRED HOIBERG, LEFT, LOBBIES for a foul. anybody in the country.

That’s gonna be the mindset going forward.”

As for whether a swish actually would have made things better, the ISU locker room was divided.

ISU senior Chris Babb (11 points, four rebounds, four assists) addressed the

thought with one word and a half smile.

“Nah,” he said.

Freshman forward Georges Niang, who scored 13 points in just his second start of the season, sided with Hoiberg.

“I probably would agree with that,” Niang said.

“The bank is sort of artificial. I don’t know if we would’ve counted that on the playground.”

Doesn’t matter.

It counted at Allen Fieldhouse, and although the two teams played five more minutes after the shot from the left wing went in, McLemore’s fifth three-pointer of the night — he finished 6-for-6 — was the dagger.

“I think we just kind of felt it,” said Babb, who watched his team give up 11 straight points to start overtime. “We played our hearts out. We played as hard as we could, and that last shot, it just kind of hurt us.”

With his team leading 79-76 and just 8.4 seconds remaining, Hoiberg said he contemplated fouling so KU (13-1, 1-0) could not get a look at a game-tying shot. But the third-year ISU coach elected to hun-

So the sixth-ranked Jayhawks (13-1, 1-0), who trailed ISU (10-4, 0-1) by four points with :26 left, tied the score with 1.3 seconds left by running their “chop” play — the one Mario Chalmers converted to send the 2008 NCAA title game into overtime.

The chop came on KU’s final possession, a possession that followed two Korie Lucious free throws at :08.4 that gave ISU a 79-76 lead.

McLemore actually had rehearsed the chop play in a three-point loss to Michigan State in the second game of the season.

“I messed it up last time,” McLemore said of a late, possible game-tying three in a three-point loss to the Spartans. “I didn’t read my defender right, and Travis took the shot and missed it (versus Spartans). That’s what I was thinking, about getting it right this time.

“Sometimes you’ve got to get a little lucky. You bank one in every once in a while,” added the St. Louis freshman, who hit the big shot with sisters April and Shariece and cousins Takeya and Travonica in the stands.

The chop play has a lot of options. KU point guard Johnson at one point thought he might be the one to attempt the game-tying three.

ker down and play defense because he felt too many things could go wrong if he chose to foul.

“We thought we knew the play they were gonna run,” Hoiberg said. “And they did run it. ... It came down to a freak play there at the end. When it left (McLemore’s) hand, I said, ‘We got it.’ It looked like it was off to the left.

And it banks in.”

Although the heartbreaking shot kept replaying in his mind, it did nothing to tarnish Hoiberg’s opinion of McLemore.

“He’s unbelievable,” Hoiberg said. “He’s got the potential to be the No. 1 pick in the (June NBA) draft. He’s great now, and he’s got great upside just because of his athleticism, he’s got a great stroke, he’s got great elevation on his shot, and he seems like a wonderful kid. He’s a star.”

KANSAS (97)

KANSAS TEAMMATES NAADIR THARPE, BACK LEFT, and Jeff Withey come to celebrate Ben McLemore’s overtimeforcing three against Iowa State.

“I knew Ben had the hot hand, and his man fell asleep,” Johnson said. “He deserved that shot and made it.”

KU coach Bill Self was not surprised ISU coach Fred Hoiberg elected not to foul McLemore or another Jayhawk before KU hoisted the final shot of regulation. ISU had no chance on its final possession; Tyrus McGee missed a halfcourt bomb.

“Hindsight is always 20/20,” Self said. “We’re fortunate they didn’t (foul). If I was Fred, I

wouldn’t, either. I’d say, ‘Hey, let’s hunker down and guard them.’ I don’t think that was a bad play because it’s always easy to second-guess.

“It has a lot of options,” Self added of the play.

“They went under the fade screen. We told our guys, ‘If they go under, I want you to stop and change the angle of the screen.’

Travis did it perfect. Travis got him open. They ran under the fade. We had it against Michigan State.

They went under it. Ben didn’t feel it and didn’t see

it. He did a better job this time.”

ISU pretty much had no chance in overtime, not with the way the game entered OT. McLemore — he had a huge four-point play, a trey and foul shot, with seven minutes left in regulation to cut a 63-57 deficit to 63-61 — opened OT with a three. After that, Releford hit three free throws, Withey hit two free throws and a bucket and Releford one of two free throws, giving KU a 90-79 lead with 2:30 left.

ISU finally hit a free throw at 2:11.

“A lot of it is momentum,” Self said of KU rolling, 18-10, in OT. “Without saying any disrespect, that would be a punch to the gut the way we tied it up and everything. The building ... we had an opportunity to try to take advantage of the emotion and the building, and we did.

We played pretty well in overtime. We ran an outof-bounds play to start it, Ben makes a three, and the next thing you know, we’re off to the races.”

KANSAS FORWARD KEVIN YOUNG LAUNCHES A FLOATER over Iowa State forward Melvin Ejim during the first half. KU beat the Cyclones, 97-89 in overtime, on Wednesday in Allen Fieldhouse.

Keegan CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

and Jeff Withey put up two shots apiece.

McLemore sat for 2:36 of the drought and played the rest of it. And thanks to a 14-1 Iowa State run that gave the Cyclones a lead, we all were afforded the treat of seeing how McLemore plays when his team plays under a scoreboard that spells out long odds.

Kansas was down six with 4:01 left, down four with 1:10 and again with 27 seconds left and down three with eight ticks remaining. He made key play after key play to push KU’s record to 13-1 overall and 1-0 in the Big 12.

McLemore scored 13 points in the final 6:49 of regulation and five in overtime, bringing Kansas back from a six-point deficit. Remarkably, he attempted just 12 field goals and made 10. Showing phenomenal range, he made all six three-point shots and didn’t miss from the line, where he scored seven points.

“He’s very efficient, but it’s kind of sad,” Kansas coach Bill Self said after the thrilling victory. “I mean, this is coaching, but we’ve got to do a better job, when a guy gets 33, that’s impressive.

But when he does it on

12 shots, we’ve got to get him more shots.”

McLemore holds his veteran teammates in high esteem, which can lead to his deferring to them, so getting him more shots will need to be a group effort.

“I don’t think he does a great job at all of plugging himself into the game, and I don’t think we do a great job of looking for him like we should,” Self said. “It’s one thing for guys to play the first 35 minutes of the game. It’s another thing for a player to make plays the last five minutes of the game. That was something we hadn’t seen. So that was great to see.”

Kansas survived stiff challenges in Allen Fieldhouse from Temple and Iowa State in a four-

day span, which might cause uneasiness in some circles, but consider this to ease the anxiety: The player who looked as if he has the most room to improve from today until the end of the season is the same player who scored 18 of his 33 points in the final 11:49 of a pressure-packed game.

McLemore knows he needs to look for shots more often and in more ways, and Johnson said after the game he needs to “plug” McLemore in the game on a more regular basis.

In the first half, McLemore passed up a shot and gave the ball to Perry Ellis, who was fouled and had to earn the points on the line. Self hollered his name, and McLemore instantly knew

what message he was about to hear. The freshman from St. Louis mimed tossing an underhanded layup, and Self nodded affirmation. A shot, not a pass, was the right call, even if McLemore’s heart was in the right place.

McLemore’s an eager pupil, and this thriller of a game sent into overtime by a rare off-target McLemore shot, a three-pointer that banked in with one second left, serves as a good lesson for the entire team. Two stretches taught two different lessons. McLemore didn’t take a shot in the first stretch, won by Iowa State, 14-1. He made two of three two-pointers, two of two threes and three of three free throws during the deciding stretch won

by Kansas, 40-26.

WELLCOMMONS?

Eudora girl flourishing despite accident

If the idea of cooking with children — young children — gives you the chills, you’re not alone.

It’s a common feeling among anyone who has spent time cleaning up after a two-year-old eats lunch.

FACES,

Alexis Foster, 8, of Eudora, participates in a variety of sports despite suffering a severed foot in a mowing accident when she was 2. She also has taken home more than two dozen pageant trophies. Participating in pageants has helped give her confidence, and she believes there’s nothing that she can’t do.
