GOV. SAM BROWNBACK WAVES TO LAWMAKERS as he is escorted to the speaker’s podium of the House chamber before delivering the State of the State address Tuesday at the Kansas Statehouse. In his speech, Brownback called for a cut in taxes and changes in the way judges are selected. See more photos at LJWorld.com.

Brownback also seeks power to choose judges

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

Despite dwindling revenues because of tax cuts, and a court order to increase school funding, Gov. Sam Brownback on Tuesday called for more income tax cuts and changes in the way appellate judges are selected.

But to reduce state income taxes, Brownback wants to keep the state sales tax at 6.3 percent.

Democrats said that constituted a tax increase because under current law, the state sales tax is set to fall to 5.7 percent on July 1.

In his State of the State address, Brownback, a Republican backed by large majorities in the House and Senate, said the keys to growing the economy are lower income taxes and reduced government spending.

POLICY PROPOSALS

Keep the current level of the

state sales tax of 6.3 percent instead of allowing it to fall as required by law to 5.7 percent on July 1.

Reduce the top rate of the state income tax from 4.9 percent to 3 percent and the lowest rate of 3 percent to 1.9 percent.

Funding to educate 50 additional medical doctors and new state-of-the-art medical training building at Kansas University Medical Center.

Proposal to define in the Kansas Constitution what is a

Brownback also wants constitutional changes to give him more control over picking judges and told the Legislature to assert itself over the courts in school funding.

Democrats howled at

the proposals. “Gov. Brownback has brought us to the edge of our own ‘fiscal cliff’ right here in Kansas,� said Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, D-Topeka.

House Minority Leader

Taxing issues Last year, Brownback signed into law cuts in the state income tax rates that also eliminated income taxes for 191,000 business owners.

Those cuts are causing revenue shortfalls, but Brownback on Tuesday proposed slicing income tax rates deeper with the endgame being the elimination of the state income tax altogether. “Tonight we are here to take another step on our path to no state income tax,� Brownback said. “This will create jobs and opportunities in our state that the

Uncertainty reigns in realm of county’s social service agencies

Lawrence city commissioners unanimously agreed to approve more than $800,000 worth of street improvements and other construction-related expenses to upgrade the area around the CITY recently renovated Poehler Lofts building near Eighth COMMISSION and Pennsylvania streets.

The proposed improvements are designed to assist a renovation of the Cider Building, 810 Pennsylvania St., that developer Tony Krsnich is working to convert into an arts and events gallery. “The buildings in that area were really destined for the landfill,� said City Commissioner Aron Cromwell. “It has been a

BRIEFLY Lawrence man accused of child sex crimes

ACCREDITATION

State ed board eyes new criteria

A 41-year-old Lawrence man was arrested Monday on suspicion of several sex crimes involving a juvenile, including several counts of rape, aggravated indecent liberties with a child and aggravated criminal sodomy.

The victim is a female who is younger than 14, said Sgt. Trent McKinley, a Lawrence Police Department spokesman. Police are not releasing other details.

The crimes were reported to police Monday, McKinley said, and the man was arrested at the police departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offices in the 4800 block of Bob Billings Parkway. He is being held in the Douglas County Jail without bond.

The Journal-World does not typically name sex-crime suspects unless theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re convicted.

Schools in Kansas could get a two-year break on meeting state accreditation standards under a proposal being considered by the Kansas State Board of Education.

Staff at the state Department of Education is recommending that the board change the standards to delete references to making Adequate Yearly Progress, or AYP. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the basic requirement under the federal No Child Left Behind law that requires schools to continually increase the percentage of students who SCHOOLS score proficient or better in statewide reading and math tests.

Last summer, Kansas was granted a waiver from No Child Left Behind, which means schools no longer have to meet those benchmarks. Instead, they will have to meet a different set of standards that look at multiple measures of a schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s progress: student achievement; the growth in achievement from one year to the next; reducing the gap between the lowest- and highestachieving students; and reducing the number of students who score nonproficient.

The department is now proposing that those standards replace the AYP standards as one of the conditions for a school to be

2 firms agree to fines for no-call violations TOPEKA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Kansas attorney generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office says two companies have agreed to pay $10,000 each for violating the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no-call telemarketing law.

Attorney General Derek Schmidt identified the companies Tuesday as Prairie Life Fitness LLC, of Omaha, Neb., and Vandell Communications LLC, based in Illinois.

Schmidtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office began investigating Prairie Life Fitness in early 2012 after an Overland Park resident complained of getting a solicitation by phone.

The company acknowledged marketing its Kansas-based fitness centers to residents who had placed their numbers on the national do-not-call registry.

The attorney general says Vandell Communications telephoned Kansas residents on the no-call list offering prizes on behalf of a Nevada company selling travel-related services.

Schmidt says both companies agreed to pay the state $10,000 in penalties and fees for the violations.

Veterans discover â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;amazingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; athletics hall, other KU sites

By Matt Erickson merickson@ljworld.com

A Kansas University basketball fan for years, Homer Marshall had never set foot on the KU campus until Tuesday.

Then, in the afternoon, he was surrounded by jerseys, old photos, trophies and more at the Booth Family Hall of Athletics in front of Allen Fieldhouse. He had to sit down. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Amazing,â&#x20AC;? Marshall said, looking around.

Marshall, who served in the Army National Guard and the Marine Corps during the 1970s, was one of eight veterans from the Topeka Veterans Affairs

Medical Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nursing-home unit, the Community Living Center, who toured the KU campus Tuesday.

Students from the KU Collegiate Veterans Association group worked with VA officials to set up the day, which included a bus tour of the war memorials on campus and stops at the Dole Institute of Politics and the Booth Hall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just like to get them out for a breath of fresh air,â&#x20AC;? said Janis Holiwell, clinical nurse leader for the VA unit where these men are staying. The visit took months to organize, she said, and full-day outings like this are quite rare for people in the unit.

The veterans who pass through the Community Living Center, all 55 or older, tend to stay for a period of several weeks before being released back to their families, Holiwell said. These days, most of them served in Vietnam.

In the group that visited Tuesday, though, there was 94-yearold World War II Army veteran Lowell Freeman, another KU fan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s go,â&#x20AC;? Freeman said as the group wrapped up lunch at the Lawrence VFW Post 852 and prepared to head to Allen Fieldhouse.

Tipsy Taxi may be offered for St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day Veterans â&#x20AC;&#x153;

By Ian Cummings icummings@ljworld.com

Tipsy Taxi has taken so many people home safely on New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eve that organizers are thinking of expanding the program to St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day. This year, 688 partygoers found a safe ride home with the free taxi service offered each year by DCCCA, a Lawrence-based drug and alcohol treatment provider.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fewer than the 877 people who dialed the service at 842-TAXI in 2011 but still hundreds more than past years.

Jen Jordan, DCCCAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of the regional prevention center, said she attributed the dip in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s numbers to cold and snowy New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eve

weather that kept some folks at home. And despite that, the service has seen a big increase in riders since 2009 and 2010, when Tipsy Taxi carried 400-420 people each year.

The greater turnout recently, Jordan said, was helped when vans were added to the taxi fleet in 2011 by the professional taxi service DCCCA partners with. DCCCA contracts with Ground Transportation Services, a Lawrence taxi and shuttle service to do the driving.

Along with those higher ridership numbers, Tipsy Taxi is raising more money and contemplating expanding the service to other holidays that tend to leave some people unfit to drive and unable to walk

a straight line. Usually, Tipsy Taxi barely raises $2,000, which is about what it costs to provide the service. But this year, donors from the community have already given $2,385 to the service and more is coming in.

Jordan said she hopes those contributions will exceed $4,000, which might allow Tipsy Taxi to finance an expansion to St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day. Tipsy Taxi services, if expanded, would be redesigned to fit a different holiday. For instance, a St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day Tipsy Taxi service would probably be available during daytime hours, when more people are partying, as opposed to the late-night services on New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eve.

Jordan said she likes to think of Tipsy Taxi as one successful program among others across the state that have led alcohol-related car accidents to decline over the past two years in Kansas. Douglas County, for instance, reported 150 such crashes last year, down from 170 in 2011 and 215 in 2010, according to data collected by the FakeID 101 task force, a partnership of DCCCA, local law enforcement and the Kansas Department of Transportation.

Authors surpass financial goal for anthology

By Ian Cummings icummings@ljworld.com

A group of Kansas Cityarea comic book authors needed $18,500 to complete their dream project, a 200-page detective story of time-travel, Vikings and mysterious figures that manipulate the world by creating chaos.

They turned to Kickstarter, an online platform for financing creative projects through pledges from interested supporters. Between Dec. 10 and Jan. 10, the group raised $36,262, which is more than enough to print and distribute their book, plus offer extra items to those who contributed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It went above and beyond what we planned for,â&#x20AC;? said Jeremy Haun, of Joplin, Mo., one of the bookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four authors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Ninth Life of Solomon Gunn,â&#x20AC;? is billed as a graphic novel anthology that follows a detective following a trail through space-time and alternate universes, following a trail from Viking encampments on the North Sea to Victorian England and World War II. The anthology will be the first project for a local writerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collective called Bad Karma, which includes Haun, of Joplin, Mo., and authors B. Clay Moore, of Shawnee;

Board accredited by the state.

Since 1992, Kansas has used the Quality Performance Accreditation model. Under that system, each building has to meet 11 quality standards and four performance standards to earn accreditation from the state. In 2002, shortly after Congress passed No Child Left Behind, the state board amended the performance standards to mirror the requirements of that federal law.

The accreditation rules apply to individual schools. Kansas does not accredit school districts.

The state board received a briefing on the proposal Tuesday in preparation for taking action next month.

If the board agrees, whatever accreditation status a school has earned in the current year would be automatically carried forward into the 2013-14 school year. They would not be measured again until the 2014-15 school year in order to give state officials time to collect new data and measurements based on the new criteria.

The authors found 615 financial supporters around the world by presenting their project online through Kickstarter.

If they had fallen short of the $18,500 goal, they would have gotten nothing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how the

perhaps best known for his Hawaiian Dick comic book series. Peck and Haun have worked on titles for Marvel Comics and DC Comics, including the X-Men, Wolverine and Arkham Asylum series.

Joe Noh, who works at Astrokitty Comics and More, 15 E. Seventh St., said he liked that Kickstarter allows those authors to finance original work outside the walls of the major comic book publishers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not something that was previously available,â&#x20AC;?

Noh said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neat, anything that lets local, or greater Kansas City-area, creators do something.â&#x20AC;?

The Bad Karma creators will officially release the book in June at the Heroes Con comics convention in Charlotte, N.C. To learn more, visit the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website at badkarmacreative.com.

The nurses who know Freeman told the people meeting him they should hear his story: In Italy, he was part of a 767-man unit that ran into a force of tanks, after Italians were informed of their arrival. Only six of those men survived, and Freeman says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the final one still living. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They wiped us out,â&#x20AC;?

Freeman said.

Derrick Gonzales, a KU sophomore who helped organize the trip, said it had been the best day heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d had in some time. A Coast Guard veteran and current member of the Air National Guard, he said that in some ways he felt more comfortable around a group of other veterans like this than he does among other people in class or elsewhere. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being around veterans, being around those whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve experienced what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve experienced, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very calming to me,â&#x20AC;? Gonzales said.

Marshall, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been at the VA for three weeks while undergoing lung cancer treatment, said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been waiting a long time to visit Allen Fieldhouse where his beloved Jayhawks played. But he said the highlight of the trip was actually the Dole Institute, where he learned that Bob Dole, for whom heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d voted, sustained battlefield injuries during World War II so severe that doctors wondered if he would walk again.

Nurse Lori Nicoll said

â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Derrick Gonzales, a KU sophomore, Coast Guard veteran and current member of the Air National Guard who helped organize the trip Marshall had been talking about the trip for days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Made my day, a little bit,â&#x20AC;? Marshall said.

Another veteran, Raymond Williams, had been scheduled to be discharged from the VA on Monday, but he asked to stay on for a couple extra days just so he could come to KU. On Tuesday, at the conclusion of each stop he shook the hands of everyone he met there, saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank you.â&#x20AC;?

Abbi Huderle, a former KU rower, led the group on a tour of the Booth Hall, then gave them a look at the basketball practice facility in the Horejsi Family Athletics Center, where the center-court circle from the 2008 Final Four hangs on the wall.

Short-term memory has grown fuzzy for some of these men, Holiwell said, though they can certainly recall scenes from their days serving their country. But she suspected this day would stay with them for at least a while, and not just because of the free Jayhawk hats and KU CVA T-shirts theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d received. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll talk about it tomorrow,â&#x20AC;? Holiwell said. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kansas University reporter Matt Erickson can be reached at 832-6388. Follow him at Twitter.com/LJW_KU.

Kickstarter rules work.

But by outstripping their minimum goal, they were able to offer extras such as T-shirts and stickers, and added more artwork to the book.

Kickstarter projects vary wildly, from inventions like a new, supercompact wallet to do-ityourself cheesemaking kits, to comic books. The nearly 4-year-old â&#x20AC;&#x153;crowdfundingâ&#x20AC;? company has raised a total of $419 million for almost 33,000 projects; another 45,000 have been submitted but failed to raise enough money to launch.

For the team behind â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Ninth Life of Solomon Gunn,â&#x20AC;? Kickstarter provides a mechanism to attract small pledges from potential customers who are bankrolling and purchasing the $30 book at the same time. Kickstarter often functions as a preordering system but also offers extra incentives to these early customers.

While Kickstarter supporters get the benefits of being customers, they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t considered actual investors and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to share in any profits, except through these perks.

Some local comic book fans know the work of Haun and the Bad Karma writers. Grecian is author of the graphic novel â&#x20AC;&#x153;Proof,â&#x20AC;? while Moore is

Many public school students in Kansas may not have to take this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s statewide writing exam, if their school district decides to opt out of it.

Kansas State Board of Education agreed to make the test optional in 2013 because many districts are having trouble adapting to new computerbased writing tool used in the tests, and because the districts are busy gearing up to implement new reading, writing and language arts standards next year.

Tom Foster, the state education departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of research and evaluation, said the state to serve as chairwoman of the state board for the next two years. She succeeds David Dennis, of Wichita, who did not run for re-election this year.

Shaver was elected 8-2 over conservative Republican John Bacon of Olathe, a signal that moderates remain in firm control of the state board following the November elections.

Following that vote, Sally

has flexibility on the writing exam because it is not one of the assessments mandated by federal law. Kansas administers the writing exam every other year, alternating years with a history and government exam.

Foster said districts are currently busy working on the new Common Core State Standards in reading, language arts and math. Those are scheduled to go into full effect next year, and a new type of test geared to those standards, known as the Smarter Balance assessments, will be ready in 2015, which is the next year the state will administer the writing test.

Cauble was elected to serve as vice-chairwoman. Cauble, from Liberal, is also a moderate Republican.

The four new members sworn into office Tuesday were Steve Roberts, R-Overland Park; Deena Horst, R-Salina; Kathy Busch, R-Wichita; and Jim McNiece, R-Wichita. Carolyn Campbell, D-Topeka, also was sworn in to her second term on the board.

Q:

I was wanting to know how they got the name Gallagher-Iba Arena in Stillwater, Okla., where they play basketball.

A:

According to the Oklahoma State menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball media guide, Gallagher-Iba Arena was originally named â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gallagher Hallâ&#x20AC;? after wrestling coach Ed Gallagher, who won 11 national championships during his tenure from 1916-40. Following an arena renovation in 1987, basketball coach Henry Ibaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name was added.

Iba recorded 767 career wins â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the second-most in NCAA history when he retired in 1970.

Social service agencies are under financial pressure for a number of reasons, including the poor state of the economy, feared cuts in state and federal funding and the agenciesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; chronic budget tightness. In Douglas County, changes in the United Wayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funding philosophy also have changed the landscape for certain agencies â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the local United Way fell short of its initial fundraising goal for this year.

In Willowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case, state and federal grants make up about three-fourths of its annual budget. But any group thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dependent on grants or donations to survive operates at the whims of economic trends, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A precarious financial position is the nature of nonprofits,â&#x20AC;? Schultz said.

Management at Ballard Community Services, which oversees staffing at Penn House, told the Journal-World earlier this month that the layoffs were a budgetary necessity.

Ballard officials this week directed the JournalWorld to president and CEO Dianne Ensminger for comment for this story. Ensminger replied, through another administrator, that she could not comment on the layoffs because it was a private personnel issue. Later in the week the JournalWorld requested comments on the general state of the Ballard Center, but Ensminger could not be reached.

Lassen, too, declined a full-scale interview. She had been at Penn House since it opened in 1969, and even held her wedding there.

ON THE RECORD

Reached by phone this week, she said the situation surrounding her departure was â&#x20AC;&#x153;sad,â&#x20AC;? and she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wish to draw more attention to it.

Lassen did confirm that she had posted a comment under the online version of last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story, which drew more than 250 comments in all. In the LJWorld.com comment, she thanked others for their support and encouraged them to still consider donating clothes and food to Penn House. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have families that come to Penn House that have no money to buy clothes,â&#x20AC;? Lassen wrote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are the only free clothes pantry in town. I am sad I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be working and talking with you as often.â&#x20AC;?

When the United Way of Douglas County adopted a new funding philosophy in 2012, Ballard faced the greatest funding cut of any agency: about $102,000. Other organizations received funding increases as the United Way focused on programs that fit under one of three community goals: education, self-sufficiency and health.

Erika Dvorske, executive director of the local United Way, said 2012 was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;challenging yearâ&#x20AC;? for fundraising, both around Douglas County and elsewhere.

Through December, the United Wayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual giving campaign in Douglas County lagged behind the previous yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pace.

Officials announced this week, however, that they projected the campaign would at least match last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total, $1.7 million.

Dvorske said that in conversations with United Way leaders in other parts of the state â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Topeka, Hutchinson and Dodge City â&#x20AC;&#x201D; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d told her they were experiencing similar difficulty. And community needs have not gone away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The awareness that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not able to meet everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs is a constant pressure on social

COURT REPORT â&#x20AC;˘ Douglas County prosecutors have filed numerous drug charges against the owner of a North Lawrence day care searched in October by police.

Tiffany C. Hubbard, who operated the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Playpen group day care home at 766 Lake St., faces seven drug charges, including drug distribution and using a communication device to assist in drug distribution.

Hubbardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day care was searched Oct. 24, and police said they discovered what they believed were drugs and drug paraphernalia at the day care, operated out of Hubbardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home.

According to police reports, the home was searched on suspicion that the distribution of crack cocaine and marijuana was occurring on the property.

The day after the police search, state officials from the Kansas Department of

HOSPITAL

Health and Environment issued an emergency order to close the day care, which received an annual license renewal Oct. 1.

Hubbard originally appealed the shutdown order but failed to show to a hearing earlier this month, meaning the order will continue.

Hubbard has no arrest or conviction record in Kansas, according to a KBI records search.

State records show that a complaint about the day care was made in March 2010, but further information about the nature of that complaint was not available.

The most serious charge against Hubbard, possession with intent to distribute between 3.5 and 100 grams of opiates, is a drug felony, punishable by up to 51 months in prison, depending on someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s criminal history.

Hubbardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next court date is Feb. 21.

services,â&#x20AC;? Dvorske said.

She noted that the number of tax-exempt nonprofit organizations across the country, after booming during the 1990s and part of the 2000s, actually declined in 2011 for the first time in 20 years.

According to a report by the Chronicle of Philanthropy, that was partly because the Internal Revenue Service had begun to revoke tax-exempt status from groups that hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t filed proper paperwork.

But the number of groups applying for charitable status has also been in decline since the economic downturn in 2008.

Dvorske said Douglas County had followed a similar pattern.

Jeremy Farmer, CEO of Just Food, said the hungerfighting program had remained stable and avoided cuts recently. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we understand the tension that exists there, and the fact that could go away at any Farmer moment,â&#x20AC;?

Farmer said.

The way for service agencies to succeed, he said, is to specialize in a single area where they can work efficiently and cooperate with other organizations to reach people.

After the proliferation of organizations during the past two decades, he said, things are different. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whether or not people want to admit it, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all in competition for resources, because we all want to do the same things,â&#x20AC;? Farmer said.

Just Food wants to serve as the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s central resource for sustainable food distribution for low-income people, he said. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why it recently announced it will stock the food pantries at the Ballard Center, Penn House and Salvation Army to allow those places to focus on other responsibilities.

The Douglas County

Child Development Association is another agency that has fared well recently, said executive director Anna Jenny. Its earlychildhood programs have grown in the past three or four years.

But even Jenny has reason to be nervous: Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concerned about state funding for earlychildhood services, which could decline in 2014 as a result of reduced settlement payments from Big Tobacco companies.

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a close eye on the upcoming Kansas Legislature session.

State grants make up about half of the Child Development Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $1.7 million budget. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There will be a number of classrooms that serve low-income families that will have to close,â&#x20AC;? Jenny said, if those grants donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come through for 2014.

Jenny said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also concerned about the impact of last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largescale state income tax cuts on future funding. Other leaders echoed that fear.

Though funding may be shaky, Dvorske said the Lawrence social service community should really be judged on its outcomes for residents in need. In that area, she said she would rate the area â&#x20AC;&#x153;high and improving.â&#x20AC;?

And additional volunteers can help. Agencies could especially use passionate leaders and board members to help them navigate uncertainty, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If people really want to make a difference, I think being engaged in the leadership of these agencies is a great opportunity,â&#x20AC;?

Dvorske said.

BRIEFLY Electrical fire destroys home The fire that destroyed a home three miles west of Lecompton on Tuesday morning was caused by a faulty electrical cord, according to a state fire marshalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report.

About 35 firefighters from Lecompton and other townships responded to the fire about 6:50 a.m. but failed to save the converted stone schoolhouse near the intersection of East 300 Road and North 2100 Road.

The house was â&#x20AC;&#x153;a total loss,â&#x20AC;? said Lecompton Fire Chief H. Wayne Riley. The damage was likely to be at least $200,000, he said.

At least one person was at home when the fire began, Riley said. No injuries were reported. The fire was under control by 10 a.m., and firefighters cleared the scene at 1 p.m.

Kansas lawmakers asked to repeal corporate farm laws

By John Hanna

“

Every time a 2,000-cow dairy goes in, it takes 20 dairy farmers out of a community.

TOPEKA — Kansas’ top That is not economic development. That is agriculture official called Tuesday for the repeal of rural depopulation.”

Associated Press

state laws restricting corporations’ involvement in agriculture, a move that would reverse a policy enacted more than 80 years ago.

Agriculture Secretary Dale Rodman said the state’s anti-corporate farming laws hinder the growth of agriculture and recruitment of new agribusinesses to Kansas.

Also, in a letter to Rodman earlier this month, Attorney General Derek Schmidt questioned the constitutionality of at least one provision of state law.

“Our corporate farming laws need to be repealed,” Rodman, a former executive with agribusiness giant Cargill Inc., said during an orientation session for freshman legislators.

“Basically, our state is an under-utilized asset.”

Eight other states — Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Wisconsin, North Dakota and South Dakota — have laws restricting corporate farming, according to the National Agricultural Law Center at the University of Arkansas. However, the St. Louis-based 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, with jurisdiction in most of those states, has struck down voter-approved restrictions in Nebraska and South Dakota.

Kansas law generally limits corporate ownership of agricultural land to family farm corporations, family partnerships or corporations with 15 or fewer stockholders, who must all be Kansas residents. The state also generally requires at least one partner or shareholder to live on the land or be actively engaged in supervising the work.

There are exceptions to the law for feedlots and poultry operations. Also,

— Kansas Farmers Union President Donn Teske, a Wheaton farmer counties can allow corporate dairies and hog farms within their borders, and legislators last year made it easier for them to do so.

Kansas has had limited farm ownership since 1931, when it enacted a law barring in-state and out-ofstate corporations from producing wheat, corn, barley, oats, rye or potatoes, or running dairy operations. Attempts to loosen restrictions in recent decades have met with fierce opposition from advocates for family farmers and some rural legislators.

Kansas Farmers Union President Donn Teske, a Wheaton farmer, said repealing the remaining restrictions on corporate farming would be “the end of family farming.”

“Every time a 2,000cow dairy goes in, it takes 20 dairy farmers out of a community,” Teske said.

“That is not economic development. That is rural depopulation.”

But after meeting with lawmakers, Gov. Sam Brownback, a former Kansas agriculture secretary himself, told reporters the laws were of “questionable constitutionality.”

“We’re doing a lot of recruiting of businesses to come into rural areas, had quite a bit of success so far, but that is an issue for a number of them,” he said.

Schmidt’s letter to Rodman, dated Jan. 2, responded to the secretary’s request for a formal legal opinion from the attorney general’s office as to whether the state’s anticorporate farming laws

are constitutional. The attorney general declined to issue such an opinion but said a provision allowing only corporations formed

by Kansas residents to own land was “discriminatory.”

The federal appeals court in St. Louis has ruled that such restrictions are unconstitutional because they interfere with interstate commerce.

“We cannot conceive a circumstance under which a court would find this provision to pass constitutional muster,” Schmidt wrote to Rodman.

Schmidt’s letter also said “there are reasonable arguments” that other parts of the state’s anti-corporate farming laws are unconstitutional and advised Rodman to approach legislators about potential changes.

It wasn’t clear Tuesday how receptive legislators are to repealing the state’s remaining restrictions on corporate farming, and some were surprised that Rodman broached the idea.

But House Agriculture Committee Chairwoman Sharon Schwartz, a Washington Republican and farmer, said such a move would help small businesses, not just large ones.

Still, Kansas Farm Bureau President Steve Baccus, an Ottawa County farmer, said legislators should move cautiously.

“A lot more discussion needs to take place, more give and take, more understanding from all parties about where we are going to go and how we are going to get there,” Baccus said.

Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the world’s largest retailer and the biggest private employer in the U.S. with 1.4 million workers here, said Tuesday that it is rolling out a three-part plan to help jumpstart the sluggish U.S. economy.

‘Microloans’ program aims to help farmers who grow for locals

By Adrian Sainz Associated Press

MEMPHIS, TENN. — With interest in locally grown food soaring, the federal government said Tuesday it has created a small loan program to help community farmers who might not be able to borrow money from banks.

Call it seed money.

The low-interest “microloans” of up to $35,000 are designed to aid startup costs, bolster existing familyrun farms and help m i n o r ity growers and military veterans who want Vilsack to farm.

Over the last three years, there has been a 60 percent increase in local growers who sell directly to consumers or farmers markets, Agriculture Department Secretary Tom Vilsack said.

Kay Jensen, an organic farmer who grows broccoli, strawberries and tomatoes in Sun Prairie, Wis., saw two immediate benefits from the program — paperwork would go from about 30 pages to seven,

and it would be easier to borrow a manageable sum. She said she might consider a loan for $3,000 to $10,000 to expand her irrigation systems.

“A lot times what we need is just small amounts of money, but a lot of times the only funding available is large amounts of money,” she said. “This whole concept of a microloan, where you’re looking at smaller, reasonable amounts of money, this really fits an incredible niche.”

The loan can cover the costs of renting land, buying seed and equipment, and other expenses. One goal is to create more opportunities for entrepreneurship and employment in the farming industry, Vilsack said. Another goal is to provide beginners a chance to build credit so that they can eventually qualify for higher-value loans and expand.

“It’s about making sure that we have diversity within agriculture, that we have a good blend of large production facilities, medium-sized operations and smaller operations,” Vilsack said. “It will help bolster the local and regional food system movement that is taking place.”

SENATE MINORITY LEADER ANTHONY HENSLEY, D-TOPEKA, delivers a rebuttal to Gov. Sam Brownback’s State of the State address on Tuesday in the Old Supreme Court Room of the Kansas Statehouse. At right is House Minority Leader Paul Davis, D-Lawrence.

State CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

current generation has left for Texas or Florida to find,” he said, referring to states that have no state income tax.

“Look out Texas, here comes Kansas,” he said as Republicans gave him a standing ovation.

Under Brownback’s plan, the bottom income tax rate would drop from 3 percent to 1.9 percent and the top rate would fall from 4.9 percent to 3.5 percent.

The previous round of tax cuts are already producing a revenue crunch.

In the fiscal year that starts July 1, the state is projected to collect approximately $5.5 billion, which is about $700 million less than current spending.

Even so, Brownback vowed to protect funding to education and social services, which together make up the bulk of state spending. The details of his proposed budget will be released Thursday.

State Rep. Tom Sloan, R-Lawrence, was skeptical of Brownback’s tax proposals.

“I grew up in politics believing that we had a three-legged revenue stool — income taxes, property taxes, sales taxes,” Sloan said.

“So what we are doing is now saying we are going to have a two-legged stool, property taxes and sales taxes. I really don’t know that that’s a good way to fund the essential services that Kansans want — education, social safety net programs, public safety and then investing in our future, whether that is preserving our water supplies or maintaining a viable highway system.”

Judicial proposals On the judicial front, Brownback called for either the election of Kansas Supreme Court justices or

GOV. SAM BROWNBACK SMILES as he is escorted into the House chamber before delivering the State of the State address on Tuesday. giving the governor the power to pick justices with Senate confirmation.

Currently, a nominating commission gives the governor three nominees to choose from when filling appellate court vacancies.

He also called on the Legislature to make it clear that they are in charge of public school funding, not the courts.

During this segment of his 30-minute speech, Supreme Court justices listened quietly while Republican legislators at times stood up to applaud Brownback’s statements.

Last week, a panel of three state district court judges ruled the Legislature had shirked its constitutional responsibility to adequately fund schools, ordered a $440 million increase in funding and criticized the state’s position of cutting taxes while breaking previous funding commitments to education. The state has appealed the ruling to the Kansas Supreme Court.

Childhood poverty In his speech, Brownback also said he wants to tackle childhood poverty.

He proposed an initiative aimed at increasing the number of children who can read at grade level by the fourth grade.

Under his plan, thirdgraders who can’t read “at a basic level” will not be promoted to fourth grade.

“Passing children up

the grade ladder when we know they can’t read is irresponsible — and is cruel,” he said.

Davis called Brownback’s words on childhood poverty “very empty” because the governor has signed into law the repeal of several tax credits that were designed to help low-income families.

In higher education, Brownback said his budget will provide funding to educate 50 additional physicians each year “at a new, state-of-the-art medical training building at the University of Kansas Medical Center.”

In response, state Sen. Marci Francisco, D-Lawrence, said: “I’m looking to see the budget for the universities of the state, but certainly a priority is medical training.

Francisco The models have changed, and we do need to be educating additional doctors. So that is good news.”

And Brownback called for putting the Kansas Turnpike Authority under the Kansas Department of Transportation. Asked if that meant he was proposing the sale of the Kansas Turnpike, his office said no.

House approves $50.5B in Sandy aid WASHINGTON — More than 10 weeks after Superstorm Sandy brutalized parts of the heavily populated Northeast, the House approved $50.5 billion in emergency relief for the victims Tuesday night as Republican leaders struggled to close out an episode that exposed painful party divisions inside Congress and out.

The vote was 241-180, and officials said the Senate was likely to accept the measure early next week and send it to President Barack Obama for his signature. Democrats supported the aid in large numbers, while majority Republicans opposed it by a lopsided margin.

Control the politicians, not the guns

EDITORIALS

Quick fix What’s the quickest way to improve fourth-grade reading scores? Keep poor readers in the third grade!

I

t’s hard to argue with Gov. Sam Brownback’s new emphasis on raising reading scores among Kansas youngsters, but both the governor and legislators need to make sure the state is seeking real improvement rather than a short-term fix that will simply make the statistics look better.

At a number of stops across the state last month, Brownback expressed his concern over the number of fourthgraders in Kansas public schools who aren’t proficient readers. Reports show 16.6 percent of fourth-graders were below the standard on Kansas assessment tests and 64 percent were below the proficient level on National Assessment of Education Program tests. To address that problem, Brownback says he will make specific proposals to the Legislature this year to boost fourth-grade reading scores.

However, Rep. Steve Huebert, RValley Center, isn’t waiting to see the governor’s proposal and already has pre-filed a bill that proposes one strategy for improving fourth-grade reading scores: keep all third-graders who are less than proficient on state reading tests in the third grade. Over the long haul, Huebert’s bill might result in more thirdgraders learning to read, but its most immediate impact will be to artificially boost the number of fourth-graders who are proficient readers by keeping poor readers out of fourth grade.

There is no doubt reading is an essential skill for Kansas youngsters at all education levels, but the state should be looking at broad and meaningful ways to raise reading proficiency, not a quick fix that meets a short-term goal.

If laws were enough to deter criminal behavior prisons would be empty.

The latest effort to “control” guns in America is as likely to deter someone intent on breaking the law as outlawing lust would affect one’s libido. What’s in a heart can’t be controlled by restricting what’s in a hand.

Following the Newtown tragedy, President Obama vowed to seek the passage of an assault weapons ban and hastily assembled an administration-wide gun control task force, an effort that amounts to little more than a political act designed to impress what Rush Limbaugh calls “low-information voters.” Government must be seen doing something to keep mad men from shooting children and moviegoers, even if that something will likely prove ineffective.

“Where there’s a will, there’s a way,” the proverb goes, and someone who has the will to kill with a gun is going to find a way (and a gun) no matter how many laws are passed. Consider Chicago where numerous anti-gun laws appear to have done little to stop gun deaths.

President Obama put Vice President Joe Biden in charge of the task force. Biden calls his gun control effort a “moral issue.” Does Biden suffer from selective morality? For him, same-sex marriage and

The loss of liberty always begins at the extremes, but it won’t stop there. Radicals won’t be satisfied with outlawing one type of gun.” abortion don’t appear to be moral issues, as they are for his Catholic church, but gun control is.

The loss of liberty always begins at the extremes, but it won’t stop there. Radicals won’t be satisfied with outlawing one type of gun. In 1995, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., told “60 Minutes,” “If I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States, for an outright ban, picking up (every gun) ... Mr. and Mrs. America, turn ‘em all in. I would have done it...” In 2004, when he was an Illinois state senator, Barack Obama voted against a bill that affirms the right of citizens to defend themselves against home invasions. The

bill ultimately passed.

The Sandy Hook shooter reportedly stopped killing children and killed himself when law enforcement officers arrived on the scene.

This contains no lesson for the gun control crowd, which mostly opposes armed guards in schools. Neither does it matter to them that recently a Georgia woman, Melinda Herman, shot an intruder when police couldn’t get to her home quickly enough, thus defending her life and the lives of her two children. To gun control advocates, guns decide whether they are used for good or evil, not the people who fire them.

If President Obama attempts to impose new restrictions on guns by executive order, not Congress, what can individuals do?

I asked constitutional attorney John Whitehead of The Rutherford Institute, “a nonprofit conservative legal organization dedicated to the defense of civil, especially religious, liberties and human rights.” “Even if the president has the authority to issue the executive order,” Whitehead replied by email, “the order may not violate the Constitution’s guarantees to individual liberty. If the order resulted in restrictions on gun ownership or possession that go beyond what is allowed under the Second

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Jan. 16, 1913: “Mae Hadley was arrested yesterday afternoon by Constable BowYEARS ers on a warrant sworn out by Louis AGO LaTour. Mrs. Hadley is charged with IN 1913 having drawn a revolver and threatened to fill the person of LaTour ‘full of lead.’ She appeared in Judge Wilson’s court this morning and was released on a $200 bond.”

Amendment, individuals who are harmed by the order could sue to have the order declared unconstitutional.”

We need to hear more stories of how law-abiding gun owners have managed to thwart criminals. As the predictable assault of anti-gun TV ads begins, the National Rifle Association should create its own ads with gun owners telling their stories of self-defense and crime prevention.

You know rational thinking is lacking when Pravda, Russia’s communist political newspaper, makes sense.

In a recent article, Stanislav Mishin writes that after the Bolsheviks seized Moscow in 1917, they promised to leave alone the well-armed citizens if they did not interfere. “They did not and for that were asked afterwards,” writes Mishin, “to come register themselves and their weapons, whereupon they were promptly shot.”

The Second Amendment was written to protect citizens from tyrannical government and to preserve our liberties. It’s not primarily for the protection of hunters and target shooters, though they are included. Those politicians who wish to ignore the Constitution are the ones who need to be controlled, not law-abiding gun owners.

Francis Heller was a KU treasure Professor Francis Heller died last week at the age of 95. He was a member of the “greatest generation.”

He was born and educated as a lawyer in Vienna, Austria, and served in the Austrian Army. In 1938 he courageously refused to support the Nazis who had taken over his country and immigrated to the United States. He enrolled in and graduated from the University of Virginia School of Law and, in 1942, joined the U.S. Army as a private.

He was sent to the Pacific where he distinguished himself in artillery, won medals for gallantry and was promoted ultimately to the rank of lieutenant.

He chose to stay in the army in Occupied Japan and eventually came back to the U.S. to complete his PhD in political science at the University of Virginia.

In 1948, he joined the faculty at the University of Kansas, initially on a one-year appointment. He remained at KU until 2008 when he finally fully retired and moved to Denver to live with his nephew.

During his 60 years at KU, Francis served in a variety of faculty and administrative positions, including as the university’s first provost. He also assisted President Harry Truman in writing his memoirs and was extensively involved with the Truman Presidential Library for decades.

He wrote many books and countless scholarly articles, including his wonderful “Steel Helmet and Mortarboard: An Academ-

ic in Uncle Sam’s Army.”

Most importantly, Francis was a superb teacher and mentor. Generations of students remember their KU experiences positively because of Francis Heller.

I first met Francis when I came to KU in 1994 to be dean of the law school.

Francis was already officially “retired” as the Roy A. Roberts Distinguished Professor, but he continued to teach and be active on the faculty. He introduced himself to me almost as soon as I had settled in. We had many things in common, including our love of history and interest in European law and culture.

Francis was exceptionally kind and gracious to me and did everything he could to help me get settled at KU, as he had for so many others. He was a treasure trove of knowl-

edge about the university and knew virtually everyone who had been on the faculty during the past 40 years. He was also a raconteur, always ready with a story or witticism.

I enjoyed my meals with Francis in particular. It was clear almost from the start how important a role Francis had played as a teacher and student mentor. Everywhere I went on alumni trips I met Francis’ former students who always wanted to know how their favorite professor was doing.

I have reached an age and stage in my career (this year is my 33rd year as a law teacher) when I find myself wondering whether I have lived a good life, a life that made some difference. I confess that I’m not sure whether I have. But when I think about my friend Francis Heller’s life, of all that he did, of all the lives he touched, of all the men and women he helped, I realize that Francis could have had no such doubts. His was a life well lived and I know that now he is probably sitting at a tavern table somewhere in heaven, having a drink or two, chatting with all of his friends up there and entertaining them with his reminiscences and warming their souls with his own.

Rest in peace, Francis, you have earned it. Thanks for being my friend.

— Mike Hoeflich, a distinguished professor in the Kansas University School of Law, writes a regular column for the JournalWorld.

To the editor: The governor has warned that the unanimous ruling of the judicial panel could lead to drastically higher property taxes for Kansans. (“Level of school funding ruled unconstitutional,” Journal-World, Jan. 12.).

The governor refuses to acknowledge that his tax policies are at the heart of the issue. He refuses to be accountable!

Let us be clear: It is the governor’s and the Legislature’s appropriation and taxation decisions, not the ruling of the court! The governor fails to acknowledge the solemn agreement he and members of the Legislature took to uphold the constitution and the laws of the state (words to that effect). The governor and the Legislature have deliberately and intentionally abrogated the constitution by refusing to provide funding consistent with making “suitable provisions for the finance” of public education, as required by law.

Gov. Brownback, not the courts, will be responsible for imposing higher property taxes, one of the most regressive forms of taxation.

We must hold the governor and the legislators accountable for higher property taxes.

It is Gov. Brownback’s decisions not to provide state funding for schools, with the help of very “conservative” Republican legislators. These decisions are part and parcel of the fundamentally flawed restructuring of the Kansas tax code designed to impose drastic cuts, not just to education but to virtually all services needed by our most vulnerable citizens.

Surely, the unanimous ruling by the judicial panel is not a surprise to the governor. The court is merely holding the governor and the members of the Legislature accountable.

That is the function of the courts!

Forrest and Donna Swall, Lawrence

Schools, courts To the editor: The unconstitutional funding of Kansas public schools is exactly why Gov. Brownback is trying to change the process of nominating judges. King Sam wants judges who will genuflect at his altar. The drastic income tax cuts he signed into law will hinder considerably the ability of the Legislature to fund our schools properly and legally. You can be sure this decision will be appealed so Kansas citizens must be vigilant in opposing Brownback’s efforts to keep schools underfunded. Keep in mind these words by Plato: “The punishment of wise men who refuse to take part in the affairs of government is to live under the government of unwise men.”

McLemore ‘sore’ after sprain, may play Saturday

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo

KANSAS’ BEN MCLEMORE IS ESCORTED OFF THE COURT by teammates Christian Garrett, left, Niko Roberts and Evan Manning, right, along with trainer Bill Cowgill after the freshman guard went down with an ankle injury late in the second half against Baylor on Monday at Allen Fieldhouse.

Chiefs now turn focus to draft KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — The wholesale overhaul of the Kansas City Chiefs is nearly complete.

Andy Reid has been hired to replace Romeo Crennel as coach, and longtime Packers personnel man John Dorsey has replaced Scott Pioli as general manager. Most of the assistant coaches are on board, and now the Chiefs can start turning their attention toward the rebuilding job.

That includes preparation for the NFL draft.

The Chiefs finished 2-14 last season, matching the worst record in their Reid 53-year history. But the byproduct of all that on-field suffering is that they have the No. 1 pick for the first time, giving Dorsey Kansas City a good place to start turning around the team.

“We’re in a unique position,” said Dorsey, who will work closely with Reid but have final say over personnel decisions. “We all know there is some pressure involved in that.”

It is pressure unlike anything he’s ever experienced.

Dorsey began his career as a scout for the Packers, and eventually rose to direct of college scouting and director of football operations.

But his primary responsibility was assembling the draft board, and the final decision ultimately came down to the Packers’ GM — Tom Braatz early in his career, Ron Wolf and Mike Sherman after that, and most recently Ted Thompson.

Now, when the final seconds are ticking away on April 25, all eyes in the Kansas City draft room will turn toward Dorsey for a decision that could shape the future of the franchise.

“Ultimately, we’re just trying to win Super Bowls.

That’s what we’re trying to do,” said Dorsey, adding that he plans to use a similar blueprint to Green Bay. “History and time has proven — and that’s all I know — but this system works,” Dorsey said Monday. “That’s what I’m going to try to implement.”

Ben McLemore woke up feeling “sore” on Tuesday morning because of his sprained right ankle, yet has suffered no structural damage and is listed “day-today,” Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self told the Journal-World on Tuesday afternoon.

“He has been in for treatment a couple times. It’s sore, but he’s doing well,” Self said of freshman guard McLemore, who suffered a Grade 1 sprain in Monday’s 61-44 victory over Baylor in Allen Fieldhouse.

“He should be a ‘day-today’ guy (regarding practice). It’s tender. I don’t know if he’ll be able to practice (today) or not. Hopefully we’ll have him full speed

by this weekend,” Self added, indicating McLemore should be able to play against Texas (1 p.m., Saturday, in Austin) barring any re-injury.

Self, who awarded his Jayhawks (15-1 overall, 3-0 Big 12) a day off Tuesday, graded film before hitting the road recruiting late Tuesday afternoon.

“I thought we guarded them well,” Self said of holding the Bears (11-5, 3-1) to 23.2 percent shooting, including 4-of-14 shooting from three.

“I thought offensively we were not real fluid. I think they had a lot to do with that, their length. We looked OK. We didn’t play great, but we didn’t allow them to play well, which was encouraging to me. That’s been something I’ve been harping on a long time.

“You are not always go-

ing to play great. You are not always going to make shots (KU hit 37.7 percent of its shots; 3-of-14 from three), but you can make sure the other team doesn’t play great. That was the case last night. We did a good job of guarding them.”

Baylor’s 44 points were the fewest a KU team has allowed in a conference game since holding Nebraska to 39 points on Feb. 17, 2007, in Allen.

“The number of points is a little misleading,” Self said.

“They are better than that.

They missed free throws (BU hit 14 of 23 for 60.9 percent). It’s great to hold anybody to a real low shooting percentage, win the battle of the boards (45-40) even though it wasn’t dominant.

Free State girls put on passing display in 66-21 rout

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Every member of Free State High’s girls basketball team channeled her inner point guard and extra passes ruled the night Tuesday in the Firebirds’ 66-21 thumping of Kansas City Washington.

FSHS, which had lost backto-back games, got back on track at home against the severely outmatched Wildcats by sharing the basketball like crazy and making a point to create open layups or jumpers through all four quarters.

Even without senior shooting guard Kennedy Kirkpatrick (partially torn left medial collateral ligament), the Firebirds passed out 24 assists on their 29 field goals with superb ball movement.

“The trick in a game like that,” Free State coach Bryan Duncan said, “is we always preach if you overmatch your opponent, you really want to share the ball and focus on defense.”

That approach began in the first quarter, when FSHS (6-3) had seven assists and made 10 of its 16 shot attempts — en route to a 21-3 lead — as Abbey Casady, A’Liyah Rogers, Scout Wiebe, Chelsea Casady, Sum-

“

The trick in a game like that is we always preach if you overmatch your opponent, you really want to share the ball and focus on defense.”

— Free State girls basketball coach Bryan Duncan mer Frantz and Millie Shade all converted at least one field goal in the first eight minutes.

Even though Washington (17) trailed the home team 33-9 at halftime, Duncan decided to entice the players to keep up their stellar passing in the game’s final 16 minutes.

“We had a little game within a game going,” Duncan revealed. “Whoever had the most assists (in the second half) was gonna get a burrito.”

Rogers (six points, three assists) said the idea of a free Chipotle burrito, courtesy of the Free State coaches, worked.

“Once they said that,” Rogers shared, “we just kept passing it better and looking for an open shot.”

By the end of the 45-point victory, Rogers, Wiebe, Chelsea and substitute Ciara Carey

each had a pair of second-half assists. Chelsea, a senior forward, might have taken the contest more seriously than anyone else. She looked a little annoyed when someone missed an open shot after one of her would-be dimes.

“The second half, I would pass it and everyone missed their layups. I didn’t get as many assists as I wanted to,” said Chelsea, who had teamhighs of 15 points and five assists. “It should’ve been like eight, but whatever.”

Her first-half assists put her over the top in a tie-breaker and Duncan deemed Chelsea the night’s burrito-winner. She said the Firebirds had been focusing on quality possessions and they were pleased with the FREE STATE’S CHELSEA CASADY GETS A PASS OFF in front of KC results against Washington.

USADA: Armstrong lacking

Confession raises more Cyclist must make remarks under oath questions than it answers â&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x201D;

The Associated Press

By John Leichester AP Sports Columnist

Two enduring myths about Lance Armstrong should be laid to rest after his confession to Oprah Winfrey.

One is that even if he doped, Armstrong was still a truly exceptional athlete, so naturally gifted and determined that he could have won the Tour de France without drugs.

The other is that Armstrong must have been the best rider in a bad bunch, because so many of his Tour rivals were also doping and yet he always came out on top.

Phooey.

Perhaps the promise and natural physical ability Armstrong demonstrated as a teenage triathlete, when one assumes and hopes he was clean, were always going to shine through and lead to some degree of success in professional sports, although surely not to the record seven Tour titles that have since been stripped from him.

Or perhaps it was only drugs and blood transfusions that made a serial winner of Armstrong. Perhaps he would have been far less stellar without them, not quite a donkey but not a world-beater, either.

The sad truth, one of many with Armstrong, is we will never know either way.

After years of insisting that he competed clean, Armstrong stunningly reversed course in his interview this week with Winfrey. It will air in two parts on Thursday and Friday.

More forgiving souls will continue to argue that since so many riders were cheating, the playing field in Armstrongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s era was more or less level and perversely fair.

Phooey to that, too.

Some riders refused to join the chemical warfare that cycling became. People like Christophe Bassons, a French cyclist shunned and told to pipe down by his peers after he punctured the silence about doping and spoke out at the 1999 Tour, the first Armstrong won.

To now still cling to the idea that Armstrong was always going to beat riders like Bassons is grossly unfair, because it cannot be proved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Christophe Bassons was a talented rider, for sure,â&#x20AC;?

Jonathan Vaughters, one of Armstrongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s U.S. Postal Service teammates on the 1999 Tour, said in a phone interview this week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How would he have done in the Tour de France had it been an equal playing field?

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never know.â&#x20AC;?

Bassons himself said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the top 30 or 40, you had a bunch of riders who could have been on the podium or challenged those at the topâ&#x20AC;? if doping hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t skewed the competition.

Just as some people get drunker than others after a bottle of wine, dopers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t all get the same performance benefits from drugs they take.

Some could afford more or better doping than others, or more devious doctors and more reliable suppliers. Some are willing to take bigger risks, larger or more frequent doses and try products or methods that others wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

And Armstrong? Did he win because he was simply a more accomplished and organized doper? Winning the Tour isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t purely an individual achievement but also a team one.The waters have become so muddied by Armstrongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cheating that it is no longer possible to say with certainty what he would have made of himself without it. Maybe he did have the physical attributes to be a Tour champion.

Maybe not. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now nothing more than speculation.

What a waste.

A televised confession by Lance Armstrong isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough.

Anti-doping officials want the disgraced cyclist to admit his guilt under oath before considering whether to lift a lifetime ban clouding his future as a competitive athlete. That was seconded by at least one former teammate whom Armstrong pushed aside on his way to the top of the Tour de France podium. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lance knows everything that happened,â&#x20AC;? Frankie Andreu told The Associated Press on Tuesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the one who knows who did what because he was the ringleader. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to him how much he wants to expose.â&#x20AC;?

Armstrong has been in conversations with U.S. Anti-Doping Agency officials, touching off speculation that he may be willing to cooperate with authorities there and name names.

Interviewer Oprah Winfrey didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say if the subject was broached during the taping Monday at a downtown Austin hotel. In an appearance on â&#x20AC;&#x153;CBS This Morning,â&#x20AC;? she declined to give details of what Armstrong told her, but said she was â&#x20AC;&#x153;mesmerized and riveted by some of his answers.â&#x20AC;?

Asked whether the disgraced cyclist appeared genuinely contrite after a decade of fierce denials, Winfrey replied, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt

that he was thoughtful, I thought that he was serious, I thought that he certainly had prepared for this moment. I would say that he met the moment.â&#x20AC;?

She was promoting what has become a two-part special, Thursday and Friday, on her OWN network.

Around the same time, World AntiDoping Agency officials issued a statement saying nothing Armstrong short of â&#x20AC;&#x153;a full confession under oathâ&#x20AC;? would cause them to reconsider Armstrongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lifetime ban from sanctioned events.

The International Cycling Union also urged Armstrong to tell his story to an independent commission it has set up to examine claims that the sportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s governing body hid suspicious samples from the cyclist, accepted financial donations from him and helped him avoid detection in doping tests.

The ban was only one of several penalties handed to Armstrong after a scathing, 1,000page report by USADA last year.

The cyclist also was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles, lost nearly all of his endorsements and was forced to cut ties with the Livestrong cancer charity he founded in 1997.

The report portrayed Armstrong as the mastermind of a long-running scheme that employed steroids, blood boosters such as EPO, and a range of other performance-enhancers to dominate the tour. It included revealing testimony from 11 former teammates, including Andreu and his wife, Betsy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of it was news and shocking to me,â&#x20AC;? Andreu said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am sure itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shocking to the world. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been signs leading up to this moment for a long time. For my wife and I, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been attacked and ripped apart

by Lance and all of his people, and all his supporters repeatedly for a long time. I just wish they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been so blind and opened up their eyes earlier to all the signs that indicated there was deception there, so that we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have had to suffer as much. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not only us,â&#x20AC;? he added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ruined a lot of peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives.â&#x20AC;?

Armstrong was believed to have left for Hawaii. The street outside his Spanish-style villa on Austinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s west side was quiet the day after international TV crews gathered there hoping to catch a glimpse of him. Nearby, members of his legal team mapped out a strategy on how to handle at least two pending lawsuits against Armstrong, and possibly a third.

Sporting KCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home renamed Sporting Park KANSAS CITY, KAN. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The home of Sporting Kansas City has a new name following a disagreement between the Major League Soccer team and the cancer charity founded by Lance Armstrong.

Sporting KC chief executive Robb Heineman says in a statement posted on the team website that Livestrong â&#x20AC;&#x153;is utilizing aggressive tactics designed to force us into an unsatisfactory arrangement.â&#x20AC;? He says the team has decided to drop Livestrong from the name of its field, making it Sporting Park.

Heinemanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s statement comes one day after Armstrong admitted during an interview with Oprah Winfrey that he used performanceenhancing drugs during an extraordinary cycling career that included seven Tour de France victories. The interview is scheduled to air Thursday.

Chargers name McCoy coach SAN DIEGO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mike McCoy is the new head coach of the San Diego Chargers.

McCoy had been the offensive coordinator for the Denver Broncos.

The 40-year-old McCoy replaces Norv Turner, who was fired along with general manager A.J. Smith after the Chargers finished 7-9 and missed the playoffs for the third straight season.

McCoyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hiring comes three days after the top-seeded BronMcCoy cos were eliminated from the playoffs in a home loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

The coaching search was led by Tom Telesco, who was hired as Chargers GM last week.

Telesco also is 40.

The Broncos have won consecutive AFC West titles. McCoy tutored quarterbacks Kyle Orton and Tim Tebow in 2011, and Peyton Manning in 2012.

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Reliever Rafael Soriano and the Washington Nationals reached agreement pending a physical on a $28 million, two-year contract that includes $14 million in deferred money, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

Speaking to the AP on condition of anonymity because the deal was not yet official, the person said Sorianoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contract contains a $14 million option for 2015 that would become guaranteed if he reaches 120 games finished over 2013 and 2014 combined.

KU FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK

Weis sets earlier start to spring practice

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Kansas University football coach Charlie Weis will waste no time in moving on to his second season in charge of the rebuilding program.

Instead of kicking off spring practice in the last days of March, as KU has done for the past several years, Weis is moving up the Jayhawks from one of the latest starts in college football to one of the earliest.

KU will begin spring drills on March 5 and will practice five times before taking a week off for spring break. Following the break, the team will re-

turn to the practice fields for three straight weeks of drills which will wrap with the annual spring game, which is slated for a 1 p.m. kickoff on April 13 at Memorial Stadium.

NCAA rules allow teams to have 15 practices during the spring session, with the spring game counting as one of them. As a safety precaution, players are required to go through two days of helmets and shorts and a third day of helmets and shoulder pads before suiting up in full pads.

KU will enter spring football with 35 returning letterwinners, including 12 starters, from the 2012 season. In addition, the team

is expected to welcome 11 mid-year transfers, 10 junior-college players and one early high school graduate. Those players are planning to report to campus throughout this week and should be in Lawrence in time for the beginning of the spring semester next Tuesday.

Other spring dates announced Tuesday were: Hannah and Friends Football Clinic with Charlie Weis and the Kansas Football Team (March 9), Kansas Football Coaches Clinic (April 5-6) and the Train Like a Jayhawk Kids Clinic (April 13). Times and locations for these events will be provided at a later date.

KU pro day on March 15 With spring practice on a one-week hiatus, a handful of former KU football standouts will get the spotlight all to themselves on March 15, when NFL scouts descend upon Lawrence for KU’s annual pro timing day.

Any former Jayhawks hoping to catch on with an NFL team will go through a series of tests and drills similar to those the prospects experience at the NFL combine in late February.

This year’s event figures to attract more attention and more participants than any in recent memory. Eight different Jayhawks have been

Koehler update Four-star offensive line prospect Reeve Koehler, of St. Louis High in Honolulu, offered his reaction about a recent in-home visit with Arkansas coach-

es with Danny West of HawgSports.com.

Koehler, an offensive guard who remains at the top of KU’s wish list to round out the Class of 2013, said his family made a strong connection with Razorbacks coach Bret Bielema and offensive line coach Sam Pittman.

Koehler plans to visit the Arkansas campus this weekend but told West that the Jayhawks remain in the mix.

“It’s still KU and Arkansas, yes,” Koehler told West. “I will know my decision after the Arkansas trip, after I get home and talk to everybody about it.”

“The extra pass helps shot selection a lot,” Chelsea said, “so that’s one way to make it easier on us.”

None of Free State’s players had much to stress about. It was the kind of game in which Wiebe (13 points, five rebounds) could get her shot blocked and run back on defense smiling because she genuinely was having a good time.

Said Rogers: “I think the highlight of the night was everybody getting a chance to play.”

All 12 Firebirds played and 11 scored in the rout.

With Kirkpatrick and senior forward Courtney Parker (out for the season with a torn labrum in her left shoulder) unavailable, some junior varsity regulars even got to contribute.

Free State’s top seven — including Ariana Frantz, who replaced Kirkpatrick in the starting lineup — all scored in the first half. In the fourth quarter, substitutes Carey, Ilene Tolbert, Hannah Shoemaker and Hadyn Hutchison joined them. Shoemaker and Hutchison, the last two to see the floor, both hit three-pointers.

But we did enough good things to have control of the game.

“You know what?” Self added, “if you told them (Bears) they could hold Kansas to 61 (points) at home, they’re thinking they are going to win the game. We’ve got to get better in some areas.”

O Self in Hall of Fame: KU coach Self will be inducted in the Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame on Aug. 5, Oklahoma Lieutenant Governor Todd Lamb announced Tuesday. The ceremony will take place in Oklahoma City’s National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum.

“I don’t think I’ve ever been inducted into anything like that. It’s a great honor,” said Self, who is 284-54 in 10 seasons at KU and 491-159 overall in 20 seasons. “I’m really proud of my state and respect all the people in different sports and different areas that have contributed

Chiefs (145 points) and Blue Valley West (134 points).

FSHS’ Canaan Campbell took first place in the 200 IM (2:02.26) and 100 butterfly (54.36).

Connor Munk won the 50 freestyle (23.65) and 100 backstroke (59.78).

Campbell and Munk swam on the Firebirds’ winning 200 medley relay with Hunter Robinson and Josh Terrell (1:47.48) and on the winning 400 freestyle relay with Nick Becker and Nolan Stoppel (3:35.26).

invited to participate in postseason all-star games, safety Bradley McDougald and offensive lineman Tanner Hawkinson have been invited to the NFL combine and five to seven others have pro aspirations.

In addition, the NFL backgrounds of KU coach Charlie Weis and defensive coordinator Dave Campo may attract a larger number of scouts than normal.

to the rich sports history of Oklahoma.”

The class of 2013 consists of Self, Wayne Baughman (Oklahoma wrestling), Clay Bennett (OKC Thunder owner), Nadia Comaneci (Olympic gold medal gymnast), LeRoy Gutowski (Oklahoma City University/NFL standout), Jimmy Harris (OU football) and John Henry Ward (Oklahoma State two-sport All-American).

A native of Edmond, Okla., Self was tapped Oklahoma High School Basketball Player of the Year in 1981 while at Edmond Memorial High School. Born in Okmulgee, Okla., Self played at Oklahoma State from 1982-85.

While at OSU, he was a four-year letterwinner and was an All-Big Eight freshman selection.

O Flagrant foul: KU’s Travis Releford was called for a Flagrant 1 foul for elbowing BU’s Deuce Bello late in the first half.

Bello missed a pair of free throws. BU was awarded the ball and failed to score on the ensuing possession.

KU assistant Kurtis

Townsend explained the ‘Flagrant 1’ vs. ‘Flagrant 2’ foul rule on Tuesday’s Hawk Talk radio show.

“It happened in a game at Michigan a couple years ago ... a guy came over the top and hit a guy right in the jaw (with elbow) and about knocked him out.

In response to that, they made a rule any contact with the elbow above the shoulders, whether deliberate or not, is a flagrant foul,” Townsend said.

“They get two shots and the ball back and your guy gets a foul assessed.

“A Flagrant 2 is where you try to hit a guy intentionally. You hit a guy on purpose, you’ll be tossed from the game. Travis’ was unintentional. We were trying to argue he got him with the backside of his arm and not the elbow. We watched it today (on tape). I think the refs made the right call. Travis didn’t try to do it intentionally. We teach guys instead of ripping it (ball) across the top, they have to do it below their waist and be strong with it and it takes away that call,” Townsend added.

Rodgers has turned into a Super Bowl champion.

Matt Flynn was picked in the seventh round and became a valuable commodity as a backup, while other guys such as Matt Hasselbeck and Aaron Brooks developed into starters elsewhere in the NFL. “What we’ve always tried to do is develop a third guy,” Dorsey said, “and develop him and see if he can be a 2 or a 1.”

By contrast, the Chiefs have spent only one pick — a fifth-rounder — on a quarterback in the past six drafts, and the result has

been disastrous play at the game’s marquee position.

Matt Cassel is still under contract, even though he was benched last season. Brady Quinn played just as poorly, while Ricky Stanzi never saw the field during the regular season.

Dorsey and Reid both insisted they plan to draft the best player available, and that may not be a quarterback. West Virginia’s Geno Smith is widely considered the best prospect at his position, but some draft analysts believe he’s only worthy of a late first-round selection.

Wisconsin 64, No. 2 Indiana 59 BLOOMINGTON, IND. — Ryan Evans had 13 points and seven rebounds, and Traevon Jackson added 11 points as Wisconsin defeated Indiana on Tuesday night to take sole possession of the Big Ten lead.

The Badgers (13-4, 4-0) have won seven straight and beaten two Top 15 opponents in four days. They now have 11 straight wins over the Hoosiers and five straight in Bloomington.

Cody Zeller scored 18 of his 21 points in the first half to lead Indiana (15-2, 3-1), which had a six-game winning streak and an 18-game home winning streak both end. Christian Watford added 11 points as the Hoosiers finished with fewer than 60 points for the first time this season.

The Badgers, as usual, dictated the tempo by running down the shot clock and forcing the nation’s highest-scoring team into a precious possession-bypossession slugfest where baskets were scarce.

It was the perfect recipe for Wisconsin, which committed only eight turnovers and took advantage of seemingly every opportunity they had, especially in the second half as Hoosiers moaned and groaned about everything from missed shots to errant passes.

After Indiana opened the second half with a three-point play, it managed only six points over the next 6:34, a drought that allowed the Badgers to take control.

Wisconsin scored seven straight points to take a 3837 lead with 15:58 to play, then got a three-point play from Jackson to start a 9-0 run. When that spurt ended on Mike Bruesewitz’s 3 just before the shot clock buzzer sounded, the Badgers led 47-39 with 12:12 to play.

They extended the lead to 51-41, and when the Hoosiers tried to speed up the pace, things finally started going their way.

Indiana answered with four straight, and Evans made 1 of 2 free throws, the Hoosiers scored six straight to pull to 52-51 on Yogi Ferrell’s three with 4:40 to play.

Drinking on a diet? Those calories can add up fast

By Michelle Locke Associated Press

The first rule of drinking on a diet is: Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

Surely youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard that Americans get way too many calories â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and nutritionally empty calories at that â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from alcohol.

But the second rule of drinking on a diet is that since you probably will ignore Rule No. 1, find a way to enjoy alcohol without letting it swamp your healthy intentions. Here are a few suggestions on how to go about that.

Think before you drink You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to give up alcohol entirely for weight control, says Andrea Giancoli, registered dietitian and spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association. But you do have to fit it into your calorie limit. Making that work means knowing the calorie counts of what you drink.

For women, federal health guidelines recommend no more than one drink a day (5 ounces of wine, 1.5 ounces of liquor or a 12-ounce beer).

For men the limit is two drinks. Though the numbers can vary, most wines sport about 120 calories per serving. Most hard liquors, such as gin and vodka, have about 100 calories per serving. A regular beer has a bit more than 150 calories, while a light beer has about 100.

Those numbers make the hard stuff seem like a good choice when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re watching your calories.

Except that most people

arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to just sip a jigger of vodka and call it a night. And once you start adding mixers and sweeteners and juices, the calories can add up fast.

Just 4 ounces of strawberry daiquiri mixer can add 260 calories to your rum, for a total of 360 calories, roughly the same as a Sausage McMuffin from McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Even a simple rum and Coke can have 200 calories or more.

A vodka and cranberry juice has about the same. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mixers can really add up,â&#x20AC;? says Giancoli. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you like to use liquor vs. having beer or wine, go for the low-calorie mixer. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re somebody who likes rum and cola, do rum and diet cola. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re somebody who likes vodka cranberry, you can do vodka with diet cranberry.â&#x20AC;?

It can take some of the spontaneity out of an evening, but if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re planning to drink itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best to plan ahead, tally the calories and budget accordingly.

Ice is nice Lisa McRee, a former â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good Morning Americaâ&#x20AC;? co-anchor who now publishes the popular recipe and diet tip site The Skinny, remembers being on a â&#x20AC;&#x153;no white foodsâ&#x20AC;? diet and being miserable since that included â&#x20AC;&#x153;no white wine.â&#x20AC;?

These days she eschews fad diets for a sensible regime of good food cooked well, heavy on the vegetables. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The philosophy really comes down to eat more things that grow and fewer things that walk,â&#x20AC;? she says.

Cutting carbs and other

honey. His diet cocktail?

A gin martini, no mixers required.

Alcohol isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily the best thing to do when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re watching your weight, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to do it, we encourage that kind of wellness factor in our bar. Look at what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re putting in your cocktail, balance that sugar,â&#x20AC;? he says.

AN AGAVE MARGARITA AND GIN MARTINI made by mixologist Jacques Bezuidenhout sit on a bar in the Starlight Room of the Sir Francis Drake Hotel in San Francisco. empty calories leaves a little room for alcohol. And when she wants to enjoy her favorite chardonnay, she slips an ice cube or two into the glass. That makes the drink last longer and also dilutes the alcohol, an important point since alcohol is a notorious sapper of willpower.

In summer, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do the same with a light red wine.

Get on the fresh express Jacques Bezuidenhout (Beh-ZWEE-den-out), the master mixologist for Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants, has an easy tip for trimming calories from drinks: Keep it simple. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I approach healthy drinking, I focus on what goes in the glass,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Is the juice fresh squeezed? Are we using quality spirits? When you look at those key factors then really look at what kind of sugar you add to the drink! Sugar is the first

thing that will start to tag on the calories or assist in a poor feeling in the morning.â&#x20AC;?

Using better ingredients and fresh juice means you need to add less sugar or liqueurs to balance out the cocktail. He recommends using sweeteners such as agave nectar or

Flavor without fear Look for no- and low-calorie ways to add flavor to your cocktails. Diet sodas (including diet tonic water) are an obvious choice. But many companies also offer low-sugar varieties of juices, such as cranberry.

Lemon and lime juice add tons of flavor, but pack just 4 calories per tablespoon. Flavor a serving of white rum with a bit of fresh mint (5 calories for 2 tablespoons), some lime juice, a calorie-free sweetener such as stevia, then

Associated Press

During â&#x20AC;&#x153;happy hourâ&#x20AC;? at the Summer Winter bar in Burlington, Mass., the bargain is on the bivalves, not the brews.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because Massachusetts legislators passed a law in 1984 banning bars from offering cut-price drinks. So James Flaherty, the barâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of food and beverage, decided to use shellfish specials to draw customers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had to get creative by offering something other than a typical happy hour,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having a raw bar at the heart of the restaurant, we launched Oyster Happy Hour to appeal to the after work crowd with fresh, local selections and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become a popular draw.â&#x20AC;?

And Massachusetts isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t alone. The concept of happy hour â&#x20AC;&#x201D; when bars offer lower prices or twofor-one specials â&#x20AC;&#x201D; may seem like an American tradition but is in fact illegal or restricted in quite a few places.

Laws vary by state, and even districts within states, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to get a handle on the national picture, but Ben Jenkins, vice president of government communications for the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States (DISCUS), has noted some recent activity aimed at

happy hour bans or restrictions generally stems from concerns that lowering prices will encourage high consumption and its ensuing problems. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some communities have issues of morality regarding promoting the drinking of alcohol or concerns regarding the kinds of behavior that can come from drinking too much,â&#x20AC;? notes Kyle-Beth Hilfer, an advertising and marketing attorney with the New York-based law firm Collen IP. Having so many different rules means bar owners and restaurateurs need to keep up with changes in the laws and read existing statutes carefully, says Hilfer.

Some states allow happy hours but ban advertising them. Oregon, on the other hand, is OK with bars advertising general happy hours but not specific price discounts. Utah outlawed happy hours in 2011.

Advertising also can be tricky. A state may OK advertising happy hour specials, but going beyond the simple price and inviting customers to â&#x20AC;&#x153;lose weight at our low-carb beer happy hour,â&#x20AC;? could be subject to regulation by state alcohol beverage officials, Hilfer explains. She recommends that proprietors of venues that serve alcohol and have happy hours have a lawyer vet advertising copy.

updating happy hour laws.

A few states, including Oklahoma, Massachusetts and Virginia, recently have considered changes to existing restrictions.

The bills failed, but are likely to re-emerge.

Meanwhile, happy hour became legal in Kansas last year after a 26-year ban. In 2011, Pennsylvania extended happy hour potentials from two to four hours and New Hampshire changed its law to allow establishments to advertise drinks specials.

DISCUS does not take a position on happy hour bills, but Jenkins sees the activity in the context of a larger modernization trend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;States across the country are updating their liquor laws to provide better consumer convenience and increased revenue without raising taxes,â&#x20AC;? he says.

The patchwork nature of the laws is a holdover from Prohibition, when states were left to set regulations once the federal ban had been repealed. Some of the laws written then are still on the books, which can strike an anachronistic note today. For instance, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still illegal to sell alcohol in South Carolina on Election Day. And it may surprise you to know that Moore County in Kentucky is â&#x20AC;&#x153;dryâ&#x20AC;? and also home to the Jack Daniel Distillery.

pour the whole thing over crushed ice and top with seltzer water and you have a mojito for 110 calories.

Or opt for juices with big flavor so you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to use as much.

Pomegranate juice, which has just 18 calories per ounce (2 tablespoons), can do wonders for a shot of vodka and a splash of seltzer.

And if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing bartender at home, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always the infusion technique. Get a bottle of tequila or vodka and dump it in a large glass jar. Use a vegetable peeler to strip the zest off a whole bunch of citrus (for example, 8 or so lemons for a 750-milliliter bottle), then add the zest to the liquor. Cover and set aside for four or five days, shaking every once in a while. Strain out and discard the zest. To drink, spike a serving of it with calorie-free sweetener and a splash of seltzer.

for Brother Elijah and myself in 1872.”

The “old Dutchman” was town brewer Charles Bartusch of Prussia, who arrived in Eudora with his wife in 1862, Higgins wrote in “Where the Wakarusa Meets the Kaw: The History of Eudora, Kan.,” published online at eudorakshistory.com.

The “hole in the ground” was Bartusch’s brewery, located along the railroad tracks at the confluence of the Wakarusa and Kansas rivers.

THIS PHOTO FROM AN UNKNOWN LOCATION DEPICTS AN EVERYDAY SCENE from the early days of Kansas breweries, when kegs of beer were delivered around town — and empties picked up — by horse and wagon. a century had passed since the last brewery operated legally in the state — plenty of time for a lot of brewery documentation and memories to be lost or forgotten.

Eudora and other cities took a decidedly different form than it does today, Higgins added. “You didn’t just go down to the grocery store and buy it.”

“Germans and other beer aficionados drank their Kansas brew served up in pails, by the glass, or by the bottle in saloons. They drank at restaurants, holiday celebrations, community picnics, and on the street as the brewery teamster made his rounds and sold beer off the wagon in a manner similar to ice cream vendors,” Higgins wrote in an article for the Kansas Historical Society.

An 1879 Lawrence Journal article mentions the brewer picking up beer in Lawrence — implying he may have had to buy beer to supplement his own stock for his customers — and described injuries he sustained after overturning his wagon, Higgins wrote in “Where the Wakarusa Meets the Kaw.” The accident left the brewer with “an eye sunken in out of sight” and “bruises and wounds without number.”

But it wasn’t injury that stopped Bartusch from brewing, it was state prohibition.

A social lubricant Before they were outlawed, Kansas had more than 90 commercial brewing plants, making it a significant industry for the state, according to Higgins research.

In Eudora, the Bartusch Brewery produced 200 barrels a year, she said.

In addition to supplying beer for the town’s saloons — far more numerous than they are now — Bartusch played a role in building Eudora’s Turner Hall, Higgins said. Such halls, found in most German-settled towns, derived their names from Germany’s traditional Turnhalles, where residents would gather to practice gymnastics, play other games such as bowling or fencing, and, of course, drink beer.

He no doubt also provided the fuel for Eudora’s Bock Sundays, gatherings featuring beer drinking and games similar to those enjoyed by German settlers in larger towns, where breweries Prohibition takes hold set up beer gardens in Unlike a number of Kanshady groves for just such sas breweries who fought a purpose.

Delivering beer around the law — Walruff took

one of the most famous stands — or continued operating illegally, Bartusch closed his brewery in 1882, let go his Bavarian assistant, John Greiner, and sought a new line of work.

He opened a bakery and later an ice cream parlor and restaurant on Eudora’s Main Street.

Bartusch abandoned the old stone brewery building, which was devastated by fire in 1903, caused by a spark from a passenger train’s smokestack, Higgins wrote.

Through the years, the building slowly crumbled until the railroad finally leveled it.

The sudden shutdown of their livelihood left many brewers in financial ruins and sent others packing to faraway states, Higgins said.

Though more covert beer drinking continued, the culture that once surrounded it in Kansas towns would never return in the same way.

Higgins wrote in her Historical Society article, “Fresh beer, which ranked with the German language as essential to maintaining Germaness (Deutschtum), was gone as well as the social and cultural life the hometown brewer often sponsored.”

ang, it’s cold out there. It’s just so classic “Kansas” that we went from 60 degrees one day (Friday) to hovering around freezing the next. Boo. By the time we’d been through that horrible temperature swing, we were all for breaking out the slow cooker on Sunday morning. We adjusted a recipe that was supposed to be made on the stovetop by just dumping everything in the slow cooker and crossing our fingers that it turned out right.

It did and it was delicious. I totally recommend making this when you feel like you want some chili to ward off the chill. Enjoy!

Classic Black Bean and Veggie Chili 1 teaspoon olive oil 1 onion, diced small 1 green bell pepper, seeded and diced small (we used an orange bell pepper) 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 large carrot, diced small 1 pound zucchini, cut into medium dice 1 cup corn, fresh or frozen (thaw first if frozen) 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth 3 tablespoons chili powder 2 teaspoons ground cumin

butter and banana, etc. — all the time.

For this easy dinner, I used both of these go-to ingredients, and dressed them with a killer mushroom gravy. No frozen waffles handy? You can serve this chicken and gravy over toasted slabs of sourdough bread, too.

Ireland: Horsemeat found in supermarket burgers LONDON — The Irish food safety watchdog said Tuesday that it had discovered traces of horse and pig DNA in burger products sold by some of the country’s biggest supermarkets, including a burger sold by global retailer Tesco that authorities said was made of roughly 30 percent horse.

Ireland’s Agriculture Minister Simon Coveney blamed a lone meat processor in County Monaghan, on the border with Northern Ireland, for the horsemeat

find, which he called “totally unacceptable.” Coveney told state broadcaster RTE that an imported additive used to make the burger appears to have been packed with horsemeat.

The additive was “either falsely labeled, or somebody made a mistake, or somebody was behaving recklessly. That allowed some horsemeat product to come into the system that shouldn’t have been here,” he said, adding that veterinarians had been

dispatched to the meat processor and other factories to conduct more tests.

“A mistake has been made here, it has been flagged by our systems as it should have been, and we will take the appropriate action to ensure it doesn’t happen again,” Coveney said.

U.K.-based Tesco PLC apologized for its horsemeat-heavy burger and said it was pulling Tesco-brand burgers from stores in Britain and Ireland as a precaution. The find is unwelcome

news for the world’s fourthlargest food retailer, known in the United States under its Fresh & Easy brand.

“The presence of illegal meat in our products is extremely serious,” the company said in a statement. “Our customers have the right to expect that food they buy is produced to the highest standards. ...

We understand that many of our customers will be concerned by this news, and we apologize sincerely for any distress.”

Since the cooking is already done for you, sorting out how you’ll eat it is the easy part.

I feel the same way about frozen whole-grain waffles. I try to always have a box in the freezer.

Breweries

Revived interest Higgins, a Eudora resident, includes Eudora’s brewery in her book, “Kansas Breweries and Beer: 1854-1911.” Since the book came out in 1992, she’s seen the previously all but forgotten subject spike in popularity.

On Saturday evening, she’ll speak about her research at a special “Beer Night” event at the Watkins Community Museum of History. In addition to the history talk, Lawrence’s modern-day breweries, Free State and 23rd Street, will provide beer samples, and Lawrence Brewers Guild members will be on hand to talk about home brewing.

Saturday’s event is full with a waiting list as long as its capacity — a testament to people’s fascination with the subject, said Abby Pierron, education and programs coordinator for the museum.

“Kansas has a long history in beer brewing,” Pierron said. “It was interrupted by Prohibition — Kansas was one of the first places to enact Prohibition — but even with that, it started with and continues to have a rich history in brewing beer.”

Federal Prohibition lasted from 1920 until 1933, but in Kansas, breweries were shut down decades earlier and not allowed to reopen until decades later.

In 1987 Kansas law was relaxed to allow “brewpubs,” and in 1989 Free State Brewing Co. opened as Kansas’ first licensed brewery since state prohibition.

wine, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaves, soy sauce and a liberal dose of salt and pepper in a large stockpot. Bring it to a boil and take the lid off so it will begin to reduce.

As the meat browned, I tossed a couple of tablespoons of butter in, too, just because I could. I also threw my minced garlic cloves in with the meat about halfway through the browning process. When one side was brown, I turned it and then sprinkled about a tablespoon of cornstarch over it to thicken and help it brown. Once it was all brown, I tossed it into the braising liquid and then poured about 1/2 cup of braising liquid into the skillet to deglaze. I do not waste good fond. I moved all the fond into the cooking pot, because not doing so is wasteful and it’s like having a party but failing to invite the most fun person you know. I mean, the party would still be good, but it would be that much better with that added guest.

I then tossed a diced

onion and the quartered mushrooms into the pot, turned it onto medium-low heat, and walked away.

After about 45 minutes I removed the lid so the liquid would reduce.

At this point, it’s time to boil some egg noodles and call together the troops.

Egg noodles cook fast. I dipped about 1/2 cup of cooking liquid out of the pan and whisked in another tablespoon of cornstarch and added it back to the braising meat. By the time the noodles were done, the sauce was sufficiently thick (though not like a real gravy — that’s not really what I was going for). Serve the beef and sauce atop a pile of noodles with a piece of good bread for sopping up the delicious brown liquid.

This is a great Saturday meal. It’s not hard to put together, but it does take some time to do that browning and braising properly. Don’t skimp on either step. It all results in meat that melts in your mouth and a big, old-fashioned flavor party to go along with.

Prohibition shut down most Kansas breweries, but many residents continued, though cautiously, to obtain and enjoy beer.

HISTORY â&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x201D;

Kansas breweries provided small towns with drink, culture before Prohibition

By Sara Shepherd

W

hile some early Kansas settlers may not have known otherwise, those from Germany were accustomed to a life where celebrations, meals and most Sundays were washed down with fresh beer.

But in the days before refrigerated railcars rolled through every small town, there was really only one way to keep up that kind of life on the plains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you needed beer,â&#x20AC;? said historian Cindy Higgins, â&#x20AC;&#x153;it was just easiest to make it right there.â&#x20AC;?

Breweries were big business in pre-Prohibition Kansas, where many tiny towns had one and bigger cities had several.

Lawrence was home to a large operation called the Walruff Brewery, but fewer people realize even neighboring Eudora had its own brewery that not only stocked the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s numerous pubs and German bellies, but also helped bastion Germanic cultural and social life there.

A brass horn player, who played at German gatherings in Kansas, took a photo of Eudoraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brewery and wrote in his album, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Here an old Dutchman brought a keg of that hole in the ground

THIS PHOTO OF THE RUINS OF EUDORAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S BARTUSCH BREWERY is the only known image of the brewery, which supplied beer to Eudoraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s saloons and residents from roughly 1862 until 1882, when it closed because of state prohibition.

J

ulia Child, eat your heart out.

A couple of years ago, in the wake of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Julie & Juliaâ&#x20AC;? movie, I went on a Julia Child kick and made several of her iconic recipes. Among them was her boeuf bourguignon. It was good but not good enough for me to want to make it again.

I probably did something wrong. Still, it seemed like it shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a terribly difficult dish to make, and surely I could bastardize it to my own tastes.

Recently, I bought a big family pack of top round steak on sale at Checkers, and I knew Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d want to braise it for best results.

of beef in red wine, and dang if it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t suit my fancy just fine. Honestly, it was simple to do and downright delicious.

Meganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Beef in Red Wine Sauce

a blog by Megan Stuke Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a bottle of red wine sitting in my cupboard for nine long months, laughing at me, so tonight I broke it out.

NOT TO DRINK, people.

Stop waving your fingers at my hugely pregnant self. To cook with. I decided to make my own dumbed-down version

2 to 3 pounds braising steak (I used top round) 1 container fresh button mushrooms, quartered (about 3 cups) 1 white onion 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 tablespoons butter 1 bottle minus one glass of red wine (I swear, it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t me) 1 box beef broth (32 ounces) 3 cloves garlic

2 bay leaves 1/4 cup soy sauce 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce 2 teaspoons basil 2 tablespoons cornstarch Salt and pepper 1 bag wide egg noodles Start by heating the olive oil in a skillet over high heat. Cut the meat into 1-inch cubes, salt liberally, and as soon as the olive oil is good and hot, toss the meat in to brown. Resist the temptation to touch the meat too soon. You want to get it good and brown.

Meanwhile, start your braising liquid. Combine the Please see FORK, page 7B

Dear Annie: I have been married for six months and am crazy for my hubby. He has back problems and some sexual issues that keep us from being intimate.

At least, those are the excuses he uses for the fact that we don’t touch like we used to.

I recently came across some love notes to an ex-girlfriend, saying how they are going to be happy growing old together and how much he loves her. I pay his child support and love his kids like my own. He says he loves me, but I have doubts he is being honest. He is constantly texting and emailing and never puts his phone down. He acts as if he is afraid I will look at it.

I’ve been hurt before by lies and don’t want to go through it again. What do I do? — Scared and Lonely in Kentucky Dear Scared: Were these recent love notes or old ones that you hap-

pened to find? If they are old, try to ignore them.

He married you, not his ex-girlfriend. If they are recent, however, it could be serious, especially when combined with constant and secretive texting, calling and emailing. Married partners owe it to each other to be open and honest. Talk to your husband. If his answers don’t reassure you, the next step is counseling.

Dear Annie: I am a small woman with large breasts. I did not buy these. For years, I’ve

tolerated leering men and boys, suggestive comments, questions about breast enhancement and assumptions that I am of easy virtue.

Some people are unable to make eye contact because they are staring at my bosom — not to mention the idiots who cannot possibly take me seriously in the business world because of my cup size. I was once refused a job because the supervisor was worried what his wife would think.

I have learned to deal with all that. But I have issues with the way other women treat me. Most take an immediate dislike to me. Men stare no matter how modestly I dress, and their wives and girlfriends glare at me, call me names they think I don’t hear and generally treat me like dirt. Even walking in public past a group of women seems to bring on the negativity.

We talk about bully-

ing because of body type, but doesn’t this qualify?

Women don’t seem to see the hurt they cause, the chance at friendship they miss or the chiropractic bills I have from hauling these things around.

Breast reduction surgery is not an option for me right now. Please bring this to the attention of your readers. Some might recognize their behavior and make an effort to change. — Too Well Endowed in Kansas Dear Kansas: Women can sometimes ascribe negative traits to an object of jealousy. If your chest attracts their husbands and boyfriends, they need to find a reason to dislike you. We hope your letter serves as a plea for greater tolerance, but we also recommend you check to see whether your insurance covers breast reduction surgery since you have chronic back pain. You shouldn’t suffer needlessly. jacquelinebigar.com

As if scripted, one of the grizzled guys describes a long-held superstition against women, particularly redheaded women, entering a mine. Enter Kristen Luman, professional paranormal detective, and her partner, Patrick Doyle. Both are what the British might call “ginger.”

Suddenly, the thrill of exploration and quick riches gives way to the dreary mechanics of ghost hunting. Luman and Doyle unpack their expensive equipment and spew nonsensical jargon.

They wear night vision goggles and appear in ghostly, greentinged black and white. They shout, “Did you hear that?” quite often, followed by expressions of terror and sudden flight. That noise they heard was probably the sound of intelligent viewers reaching for their remotes.

Tonight’s other highlights:

The kids each get a day to themselves on “The Middle” (7 p.m., ABC).

Oliver takes a sabbatical on “Arrow” (7 p.m., CW).

A surprise party for Manny on “Modern Family” (8 p.m., ABC).

Juliette and Rayna share an arena stage on “Nashville” (9 p.m., ABC).

A new inmate upsets everyone on “American Horror Story: Asylum” (9 p.m., FX).
