L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

Debate CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Pittaway is a former member of the KU debate squad, which over its history has been just as much a national power as that other program with the same number of championships and Final Four appearances.

“What KU is to men’s basketball, KU also is to debate,” Pittaway said in a phone interview Wednesday.

Pittaway and his wife, Jeannine, split time between Rochester, Mich., and Naples, Fla. He is a senior managing director of a private equity investment firm, Castle Harlan.

He often finds himself negotiating deals to buy or sell companies, he said, and the skills he learned as a debater at KU and Shawnee Mission South High School have proved invaluable.

“The process of debating, where you have to alternately argue both sides of the issue, means that you learn to appreciate and understand both sides,” Pittaway said.

Debate was Pittaway’s entire life in high school, he said. He left the KU team after his freshman year, unable to commit the large amounts of time required because he’d decided to graduate in three years. He went on to earn a law degree and a Master of Business Administration at Harvard.

The KU team won one of its national titles during the year he competed. He said the debate coach then, Donn Parson, had a lot to do with the team’s success, and with his gift Pittaway wanted to make sure that the team would continue to get strong coaching for years to come.

“My desire was that one of the things KU had in its hip pocket was the ability to make sure it got a great head coach to lead the program,” Pittaway said.

Scott Harris, the KU debate team’s current head coach, said the new fund would go a long way toward keeping KU at the top of the collegiate debate world. The team has historically been the top public university in debate circles, competing with deep-pocketed private institutions such as Harvard, Northwestern and Dartmouth at national contests.

“It’s the kind of gift that’s overwhelming and will do a great deal to secure the longterm viability of the debate program,” Harris said.

Danny Anderson, dean of liberal arts and sciences, said the new fund could allow KU to expand its debate coaching staff, perhaps adding an assistant coach to provide more instruction.

“Coaching is central in terms of debate,” Anderson said, even when a program brings in talented debaters as KU’s does.

This is the largest gift in the history of the KU debate program, though Harris said alumni have raised about $1.1 million in total for the program over the past 10 years.

The gifts have allowed the program to pay for travel to tournaments and provide scholarships to help with the recruitment of top-flight high school debaters.

“It’s a program that helps attract quality students to the university,” Harris said.

Anderson said the debate team, which most recently won a National Debate Tournament championship in 2009, is an “example of academic championship” at KU. It’s also something for KU alumni to brag about, just as much as the men’s basketball team, Pittaway said. And with the help of his gift, he hopes it will stay that way.

Illinois mother receives probation

BRIEFLY County Commission OKs quarry plans Douglas County commissioners cleared the way Wednesday night for the next phase of operators at a rock quarry that straddles the Douglas-Shawnee county line.

Mid-States Materials, which operates the Big Springs Quarry, plans to open a new area for mining. The new area is just south of Route 442, or Stull Road, in Douglas County, also 45th Street in Shawnee County.

However, the conditional use permit originally issued in 1990 requires that Mid-States obtain county approval of a reclamation plan for each new phase of the quarry operation before opening that new phase.

Eric Bettis, manager of the quarry, said the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reclamation activity follows closely behind the mining activity so that property is continually being mined, and then immediately reclaimed.

Commissioners voted 3-0 Wednesday to approve the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reclamation plan for the new area. Bettis said Shawnee County commissioners have already given similar approval for operations on that side of the county line.

Water advisory affects Jefferson County A boil water advisory has been issued for the Rural Water District No. 10 public water system, which includes Lakeshore Estates in Jefferson County.

According to a news release issued by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;city water supply has experienced a loss of pressure in the water system due to a water main break.â&#x20AC;?

That allows the chance for contaminants to enter the water system, and chlorine levels could drop below levels needed to fight bacteria.

For more information, contact Pat Barnes at 785-6083516 or 785-876-2639.

Events planned to honor MLK

By Rebekka Schlichting rschlichting@ljworld.com

In an effort to foster social equality and peace, a number of Lawrence churches, schools and residents are working together to organize events for the community in celebration of next weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The Ecumenical Fellowship Inc. has been the coordinator of MLK Day events in Lawrence since 1986.

This year, the largest event will be the Gospel Music Fest at 6:30 p.m. Sunday at Lawrence Free Methodist Church, 3001 Lawrence Ave. The official MLK Day

is on Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not only about Martin Luther King,â&#x20AC;? said Marlon Wesley, a marketing co-coordinator of the MLK Day events. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about doing something that Martin Luther King wanted to do.

He did everything through Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to bring everyone together to celebrate as one in music.â&#x20AC;?

The festival will feature three local professional entertainers: Cedwan Hooks, a young puppeteer, will entertain children with a puppet show; Alexis Spight, a finalist on BETâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sunday Best, will sing gospel music;

Deborah Gomez was sentenced Wednesday by District Court Judge Paula Martin after pleading no contest on Dec. 14 to three misdemeanor counts of child endangerment.

Gov. wants to get rid Brownback proposes help in KU medical of mortgage deduction education building

By John Hanna

Associated Press

TOPEKA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Republican Gov. Sam Brownback surprised some fellow conservatives Wednesday by reviving a failed proposal to eliminate Kansasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; popular deduction for interest paid on home mortgages to help close a budget shortfall while further reducing state income tax rates.

The governor had promised legislators Brownback that the state could keep moving toward eliminating income taxes while preserving aid to public schools and spending on core government services. He outlined budget proposals for the two years beginning in July to meet those goals while closing the budget gap caused by last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aggressive income tax cuts. His proposals also would leave the state with healthy cash reserves at the end of June 2015.

Brownback disclosed in his State of the State address Tuesday evening that he wants to keep the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sales tax at its current rate, instead of letting it drop in July, as called for by law. But he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say in his speech that he would resurrect the proposal

proposals, such as keeping the state sales tax at 6.3 percent instead of allowing it to drop to 5.7 percent as required by current law, or abolishing the mortgage interest tax deduction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Compared with where we would like to be, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a disappointment, but I think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also recognition it could be worse; it could still get worse, depending on how the Legislature responds,â&#x20AC;? said Mark Tallman, a lobbyist with the Kansas Association of School Boards.

she was skilled enough to become a Roller Warrior. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our call,â&#x20AC;? the team member said.

So Strafuss participated in two nights of intense drills and scrimmaging, banging around the track with other skaters. She left the final night of tryouts tired and bruised, with no thought of being selected to a team.

But at about 11:45 p.m. that night, she received a text telling her, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You made it.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I texted back, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You have the wrong person; this is Mary Strafuss,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? she said, but then she was advised there was no mistake; she was a Victory Vixen, one of four home teams that compete against each other during Kansas City Roller Warriors bout nights at Municipal Auditorium each spring through summer.

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll skate with the team in its March 2 season opener.

Micah Downey, a cocaptain with the Vixens who interviewed Strafuss as part of the tryout process, said she thought Strafuss had the right stuff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Vixens are a family, and she kind of seemed like that motherly figure we needed,â&#x20AC;? Downey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Skating skills can be taught, but compassion canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.â&#x20AC;?

Wait a minute â&#x20AC;&#x201D; roller derby requires compassion? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s give and take,â&#x20AC;?

Downey responded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Reporting intern Rebekka Schlichting love each other very much, can be reached at 832-7248. and we beat the crap out of

to eliminate the mortgage interest deduction, a move lawmakers rejected last year.

The governor also disclosed Wednesday that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposing to phase in the next round of income tax cuts over three years, waiting until 2017 to drop the top rate from its current 4.9 percent to 3.5 percent.

His proposals would raise an additional $541 million in new revenues for the fiscal year that begins in July, more than enough to cover the projected $267 million gap between anticipated revenues and existing spending commitments for the same period. His plans also would allow a slight boost in the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perpupil aid for its public schools, although it would still be far short of what a three-judge panel ordered in a ruling last week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What the governor presented was a very balanced budget,â&#x20AC;? Steve Anderson, Brownbackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget director, said during a briefing for reporters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would be surprised if the Legislature ends up very far away from us.â&#x20AC;?

But Brownback already was likely to face criticism from Democrats and more liberal Republicans who want the state to ramp up spending on public schools more aggressively now that Kansasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; economy is emerging from the Great Recession.

TOPEKA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kansas University received some of what it wanted under Gov. Sam Brownbackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget plan that was unveiled Wednesday.

Brownback approved $35 million in bonding authority and $10 million from the state over two years to build a new medical education building and training facility at the KU Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan. The total cost of the building is estimated at $75 million, and KU has made its construction a priority, saying the current facility is outdated.

In seeking a state commitment for a portion of the cost, KU had wanted the state to release $25 million that was returned from the federal government as part of a FICA refund related to payroll taxes paid back in the 1990s.

But Brownback is releasing only $10 million and depositing the other $15 million in the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all-purpose general fund, according to Budget Director Steve Anderson.

Asked why, Anderson said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;My initial inclination was to put it all in the general fund because certainly it would not have been recovered if

not for the efforts of the Department of Administration.â&#x20AC;?

But, he said, the project is needed and $10 million would provide a good start.

Construction of the building is part of KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s initiative to increase the number of physicians trained in Kansas. Brownback said his budget also includes funding to educate 50 additional doctors every year.

KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said Brownbackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget â&#x20AC;&#x153;recognizes that we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a progrowth strategy in Kansas Gray-Little without investment in our universities.â&#x20AC;?

Gray-Little said she was heartened by Brownbackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recognition of the role KU Med plays in providing health care to the state. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The recommendation in his budget allowing us to train additional physicians for Kansas is of critical importance to all Kansans,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And the state budget funds identified for this project will be matched with private sector dollars and university investments.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Statehouse reporter Scott Rothschild can be reached at 785-423-0668.

Tallman said he was pleased Brownback didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cut school funding in light of revenue projections that show because of the tax cuts signed into law by the governor, the state will take in approximately $5.5 billion in the fiscal year that starts July 1, while current spending levels are at $6.2 billion.

Public school funding makes up about half of the state budget.

With a crunch on tax dollars, Brownbackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget dips into other pots to funnel money to schools.

For example, nearly $100 million would be transferred from the Kansas Department of Trans-

portation and used to pay for transportation costs of school districts.

Brownbackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget director, Steve Anderson, assured legislators that the transfer of KDOT funds would have no impact on building planned highway projects.

And Brownback proposes using $77 million in revenues from stateowned casinos to help fund teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pensions.

He has proposed keeping base state aid per pupil at $3,838 for the fiscal year that starts July 1 and then increasing it by $14, to $3,852, during the fiscal year that begins July 1, 2014.

Both figures are far

short of the $4,492 in base state aid per pupil that was ordered last week by a three-judge panel. The panel ruled the Legislature had failed its constitutional duty to adequately fund public schools. The ordered increase would total approximately $440 million. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously, we feel that the current base is inadequate to do what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been asked to do,â&#x20AC;? Tallman said.

At a forum last week, Lawrence school Superintendent Rick Doll said increases in base state aid would â&#x20AC;&#x153;be the most important thingâ&#x20AC;? the Legislature could do for schools.

each other.â&#x20AC;?

Strafuss had demonstrated an ability to take her lumps and a desire to keep improving, Downey added. And during the emotional interview, she said, something else became clear. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just felt like she needed to be part of this team,â&#x20AC;?

Downey said, referring to Strafussâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; personal situation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the whole story of roller derby. Ninety percent of the people who join roller derby are going through some kind of crisis in their life, and roller derby changes them.â&#x20AC;?

According to Strafuss, being around the strong, supportive women involved with the Roller Warriors has made her more independent and confident in all aspects of her new life as a single mom.

A product manager for Nazdar SourceOne, a screen and digital ink supplier headquartered in Shawnee, Strafuss said she was happiest about the impact roller derby had made on her family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m showing my daughters that things can be really bad but that, if you dig deep and persevere through it, you can come to a new normal,â&#x20AC;? Strafuss said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And my new normal is really cool.â&#x20AC;?

According to Meara, she never thought her mother would end up on a competitive roller derby team.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;She makes me a proud daughter,â&#x20AC;? said Meara, whose own involvement in roller derby wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t such a stretch.

Always more adventurous than her mother and 16-year-old sister, Molly Roach, Meara is a jazz guitarist, a second-degree black belt in taekwondo and a fire staff spinner. She also is studying aerial silk acrobatics at the Quixotic School of Performing Arts, and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the process of applying to the National Circus School in Montreal.

Asked what she liked about roller derby, Meara said â&#x20AC;&#x153;hitting people.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a nice way to get out anger,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s competitive and energetic.â&#x20AC;?

But none of that is to say that Kansas City Roller Warriors bouts are anything like the vicious competitions depicted in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kansas City Bomber,â&#x20AC;? the 1972 roller derby movie starring Raquel Welch, Strafuss said.

The objective is the same. Each team places on the track four blockers, who try to help their teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jammer score points by lapping opponents, while trying to keep the opposing jammer from getting past them. But in

Roller Warriors bouts, the tracks arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t banked â&#x20AC;&#x153;and we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t throw elbows,â&#x20AC;?

Strafuss said.

Meara decided to get involved in the sport â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;it truly is a sport,â&#x20AC;? Strafuss said â&#x20AC;&#x201D; after attending a roller derby bout with her mother a few years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the back of my head, I secretly thought that would be really cool to do, too,â&#x20AC;? Strafuss added.

And now that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing it, her goal is â&#x20AC;&#x153;longevity,â&#x20AC;? she said.

The second-oldest member of the Vixens, Strafuss said she had no desire to become a star jammer or graduate to the Roller Warriorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; more competitive Plan B or AllStars teams. But sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to remain on a home team for at least four years so she can compete with Meara.

Meara, whose junior derby name is Abby Normal, will turn 18 in four years, allowing her to graduate to adult competition.

Her mother, whose new roller derby name is Stratus Fear, will be 50 by then. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What an awesome 50th birthday gift that would be to skate by her side that year,â&#x20AC;? Strafuss said.

ON THE RECORD

Patients who have medical bills from a single event that exceed 50 percent of their annual household income would receive a 90 percent discount on their services. $12.5 million of that care was categorized as charity care, while the rest was written off as bad debt â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a category reserved for patients who had the means to pay but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

Pedley, though, suspects a significant portion of the hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bad debt total actually should be categorized as charity care because the patients really didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a feasible way to pay for their medical bills. By incorrectly placing such services in the bad debt category, the hospital ends up spending time and resources trying to collect a debt that likely will never be paid. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no intent to reduce the amount of charity care we provide,â&#x20AC;?

Pedley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This policy really will just save everybody a lot of time and trouble if we get this care into the right category to begin with.â&#x20AC;?

Hospital board members reviewed the policy on Wednesday but werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t asked to approve the new plan. The board is expected to take action on the policy at their February board meeting.

In other LMH news, the board received preliminary numbers on patient activity at the hospital in 2012. Those statistics included:

Patient discharges totaled 5,981, up from 5,883 in 2011. The number fell short of the 6,053 the hospital had budgeted for.

Average length of patient stay declined to 2.8 days, down from 2.9 days.

The hospital had budgeted 3.0 days.

The number of births totaled 1,103, up from 1,086 in 2011 but below budget projections of 1,148.

The uptick in births was the first in several years, said Gene Meyer, president and CEO of the hospital. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m optimistic about the numbers on births,â&#x20AC;?

Meyer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are still not where we think they need to be, but it is better than we have seen in recent years.â&#x20AC;?

ACCIDENT REPORT â&#x20AC;˘ Eastbound lanes of the Kansas Turnpike were reopened by 3:30 p.m.

Wednesday after traffic was blocked for hours by a semitrailer that caught fire Wednesday morning. The truck remained on the turnpike into the afternoon after the fire was extinguished about 11 a.m.

The truck caught fire at mile marker 217, 13 miles east of the East Lawrence interchange.

Fire departments from Reno, Stranger and Fairmount townships in Leavenworth County responded to the fire. No injuries were reported, said Randy Gilliam, assistant chief of the Stranger Township Fire Department.

The truck was â&#x20AC;&#x153;fully involvedâ&#x20AC;? in flames and caught fire just after it passed through the toll booth, Gilliam said. The driver stopped the truck to inspect the brakes and found them so hot they caused the tires to catch fire.

Because of the damage, it was necessary to separate the truck and the trailer and unload part of the trailerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cargo. The truck was carrying aluminum cans for recycling.

Because of cold temperatures in the shadow of the semitrailer, KTA workers salted the turnpike to pre-

COURTS REPORT â&#x20AC;˘ A 41-year-old Lawrence man was charged Wednesday with eight felony sex crimes involving a girl who is now 11.

He is charged with three counts of rape, four counts of aggravated indecent liberties with a child and one count of aggravated criminal sodomy.

The man, who remains in Douglas County Jail in lieu of $100,000 bond, covered his face with a paper document during a court hearing Wednesday via video from the jail.

Sgt. Trent McKinley, a Lawrence Police Department spokesman, said the victim is a juvenile female, but police are not releasing other details. In court on Wednesday, the victim was referred to by her initials and her date of birth, which indicates she is 11.

The crimes were reported to police Monday, McKinley said, and the man was arrested at police departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offices in the 4800 block of Bob Billings Parkway.

According to prosecutors, the series of crimes went on for almost four years, beginning in February 2009.

Each of the crimes the man is charged with carries a sentence of 25 years to life.

City Commission race will require primary

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

With two more candidates emerging on Wednesday, the race for the Lawrence City Commission will require a primary election, and it appears it also will feature a debate over the proposed $25 million recreation center.

City Commissioner Mike Amyx and Lawrence attorney Reece Hays announced their candidacies on Wednesday. That brings the candidate field to seven, which triggers a primary election on Feb. 26 to narrow the field to six candidates. More candidates may enter the field, too. The filing deadline is noon Tuesday.

Both Amyx and Hays indicated they plan to raise during their campaigns the issue of a proposed $25 million recreation center in northwest Lawrence, even though the current City Commission is tentatively scheduled to vote on the project in mid-February. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have noticed there are people asking quite a few questions about it,â&#x20AC;? said Amyx, who has been the one commissioner on the current commission that has cast votes against part of the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know I have a different opinion than the majority of the commission, but I will continue to raise questions about the money, potential operating shortfalls, the bidding process and other issues.â&#x20AC;?

Hays also brought up the proposed recreation center in announcing his candidacy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It sounds like there is a concern about how that project is coming about,â&#x20AC;?

Hays said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While it is not a bad idea, the way it is being carried out may not be the best.â&#x20AC;?

Amyx, 59, will be seeking to extend a City Hall career that began in the early â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s. Amyx served on the commission from 1983 to 1988, and then left the commission to serve on the Douglas County Commission from late 1988 to 1993. Amyx, who is the owner of a downtown barber shop, won election again to the City Commission in 2005 and has served ever since. He has served as mayor of the city four different times. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I work in the front window of a family-owned business everyday and a lot of people have the opportunity to come in and tell me whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on their mind, and they do,â&#x20AC;? Amyx

Cromwell wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seek re-election There will be at least two new faces on the Lawrence City Commission come April.

City Commissioner Aron Cromwell has confirmed he will not seek re-election to the commission. He joins Commissioner Hugh Carter who previously announced he would not seek another term. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to take a break this time,â&#x20AC;? said Cromwell, who was elected four years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to focus on other parts of my life.â&#x20AC;?

Cromwell said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also use the time to figure out his political future. Cromwell said he expects to make a run for either the Lawrence City Commission or a state position in two years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have enjoyed it immensely and learned a lot,â&#x20AC;? Cromwell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has been fun trying to make a difference in the community. I know Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to need an outlet for that again.â&#x20AC;?

Cromwell, who served a one-year term as mayor, was a major player in pushing for the expansion of the Lawrence Public Library and also led the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s task force on revamping the city trash collection and recycling system. said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel very lucky to be that close to constituents.â&#x20AC;?

Amyx said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll run a campaign that highlights the importance of keeping the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mill levy steady while protecting basic services such as police, fire and utility services.

Amyx said he also wants a chance to help guide redevelopment of the former Farmland Industries plant into a business and industrial park.

He said figuring out a way to improve the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy through new jobs would be a priority, while also building city budgets that recognize an economic recovery hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet fully taken hold. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to recognize the fiscal times that we live in,â&#x20AC;? Amyx said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I talk to a lot of people about their concerns about money that they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have.â&#x20AC;?

Hays, 36, is the chief litigation counsel for the Kansas Board of Healing Arts in Topeka, which licenses physicians and

DILBERT

other medical professionals. Before that, he served in the U.S. Air Force from 2006 to 2011, including time as a Judge Advocate General where he provided counsel to Iraqi judges on the rule of law. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m running because I want to ensure the citizens of Lawrence have a voice that will respond to them and hear their wishes,â&#x20AC;? Hays said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really want to make sure that we have transparency in government.â&#x20AC;?

Hays â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who moved to Lawrence in 2003 to attend law school at Washburn University and subsequently kept Lawrence as his home while he was on active duty in the Air Force â&#x20AC;&#x201D; said he thinks his government service will help him at the City Commission level.

He said he would work to hear the issues on the minds of Lawrence residents during the campaign and bring them to the commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a representative in government, I believe each representative has to answer to the people who they serve â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not carry out an agenda they may have,â&#x20AC;?

Hays said.

Hays filed his paperwork to enter the race on Wednesday. Amyx announced his candidacy on Wednesday but said he would file the necessary paperwork today.

Amyx will be the only incumbent on the commission seeking re-election.

Commissioners Hugh Carter and Aron Cromwell, the other two commissioners with terms expiring, have announced they will not seek re-election.

Other candidates in the race are Rob Chestnut, a former Lawrence mayor and a chief financial officer for a Topeka publishing company; Scott Criqui, a member of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Human Relations Commission and an executive with a Lawrence-based home health care company; Jeremy Farmer, executive director of the Lawrencebased food bank Just Food; Terry Riordan, a Lawrence physician and a former Lawrence-Douglas County Planning commissioner; and Michael Rost, an attorney for a Topeka insurance company.

The primary election will be on Feb. 26. Voters will elect three commissioners in the general election on April 2. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; City reporter Chad Lawhorn can be reached at 832-6362. Follow him at Twitter.com/clawhorn_ljw.

State Board of Ed eyes new social studies standards

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Kansas State Board of Education got its first look Wednesday at new draft social studies standards that would guide the teaching of history, government, geography, economics and various other courses.

Among other things, the new standards would increase the emphasis on the teaching of racial and ethnic diversity.

The Department of Education is now accepting public comments on the draft document. The state board is expected to vote on a final document in March.

Don Gifford, the education agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historygovernment program consultant, said the new standards are the result of 18 months of work by a 35-member committee that included representatives from all levels of education, from preschool through post-secondary, as well as the Kansas Historical Society and various community representatives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That committee just performed amazingly well,â&#x20AC;? Gifford said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a very collegial group. We were able to get a lot done in short periods of time.

When we delegated work, that work got completed at a very high quality.â&#x20AC;?

Traditionally, debate

over social studies standards has been almost as politically charged as debates over science standards and the teaching of evolution. In the realm of social studies, though, the controversies in years past have centered on how students are taught about controversial issues such as communism, racial discrimination, the treatment of Native Americans and the role the United States has played in world affairs.

The Rev. Ben Scott, who heads the Topeka chapter of the NAACP and served on the writing committee, had expressed concern early on that the current standards donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay enough attention to the role of ethnic minorities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And we dealt with that in developing these (new) standards,â&#x20AC;? Scott said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really think if you look under the benchmarks (of the draft new standards), youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find people, places and so forth that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping will be picked up by the districts, and to make sure that those kinds of things are fairly represented across a broad spectrum.â&#x20AC;?

In the section dealing with high school U.S. history, for example, the document spells out various eras of history that should be covered, and it breaks out main ideas to be emphasized, important people and the roles they

played, certain places and institutions that were important, and specific events.

Within the â&#x20AC;&#x153;World War I and Roaring 20sâ&#x20AC;? era, the document mentions President Woodrow Wilson and John J. Pershing, but it also emphasizes people such as writer and social activist Langston Hughes, jazz artist Louis Armstrong and the influence of the Ku Klux Klan.

Board member Carolyn Campbell, whose district includes Lawrence and who is the only AfricanAmerican on the state board, said minorities have not received enough attention in social studies classes in the past. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a member of the African Methodist Episcopal Church,â&#x20AC;? Campbell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a child, with my history in school, I can remember what they taught us about colored people â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on my birth certificate â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that we were slaves. So I was ashamed until sometime I really got to understand my church and what all we did. ... I want our children â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all children â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to be able to appreciate where they come from.â&#x20AC;?

The draft social studies standards can be viewed at http://bit.ly/ct07XZ. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Education reporter Peter Hancock can be reached at 832-7259.

A BLUEBIRD BIRDHOUSE SITS ON A FENCE POST READY FOR RESIDENTS while two sparrows hang out nearby around the rural Lawrence home of Julie Trowbridge-Alford. Birdhouses designed for bluebirds are widely available and are labeled as such.

Resident uses special houses to attract bluebirds

A

s we watch a nuthatch descend the trunk of nearby tree and listen to the uninterrupted chirping of numerous other birds, I understand why Julie Trowbridge-Alford provides food, water and shelter for birds in her yard.

“I find it nurturing to be out here,” says TrowbridgeAlford, a master gardener and rural Lawrence resident.

Bluebirds are TrowbridgeAlford’s favorite, and to attract them she uses houses that are designed especially for bluebird tastes.

“The size of the aperture and the slant of the roof are important,” she explains, “and no pegs — bluebirds don’t like pegs for some reason.”

She also notes that bluebirds enjoy meadows over wooded areas, so the best bet for attracting them is to place their houses near an open area.

Up closer to the house, she uses more generally designed birdhouses and feeders. One house, tucked in near the front door, was just an art project, but a bird moved into it anyway.

“Yesterday I had a flicker (a type of woodpecker) out here on the ground,” Trowbridge-Alford says enthusiastically. “My kitchen is right there, and I can see them all come by.”

As a gardener, TrowbridgeAlford has an extra appreciation for birds. They help bees, butterflies and other insects with pollination of many flowering plants. Hummingbirds and orioles are especially important as pollinators. Birds are also important

Trowbridge-Alford says maintenance is important.

Bluebird houses should be cleaned out in February, which just means removing the old nests. This is before the birds start building their nests in late February and March.

She also keeps a close eye out for sparrows that try to move in, and removes their nests to deter them. Bluebirds will have two broods per year, with the second set in June or July.

in pest control — bluebirds, swallows and other species eat insect pests. One of my favorite memories is watching a bird pick a hornworm from a tomato plant.

Another benefit is seed dispersal. Berry- and seed-eating birds carry and deposit seeds, sometimes to our dismay, but benefitting the plants on which they feed.

Just like other wildlife, bird habitat is declining as cities grow. Bluebirds especially declined in population in the 1960s, although fortunately their plight raised enough

Mission style, often called “Arts and Crafts,” was first popular in the early 1900s.

Heavy wooden Mission furniture made of dark finished oak was introduced by Gustav Stickley. It was soon copied by many other firms.

The style, displayed in furniture as well as other decorative arts, is somber. Instead of bright colors, textiles and pottery were made in a gray-green or dull dark blue.

Silver was considered too bright, so many metal ashtrays, bowls and even cabinet hinges were made of oxidized copper.

And a few well-to-do people living with this very modern 1910 style even covered their telephone with hammered copper so it would match their other pieces.

The Roycroft community in East Aurora, N.Y., made many useful and attractive crafts.

They did book binding and printing, and produced copper work, leatherwork and, of course, furniture.

A copper-coated Bakelite telephone was made in the candlestick shape used at the time.

It was manufactured by American Bell Telephone Co. but was enhanced by Roycroft with a handmade “skin” of copper.

Both Roycroft and American Bell marked the phone. One sold this year for $10,625.

Mental health effort The details haven’t been worked out, but the Kansas governor’s attention to the state’s mental health needs could be a positive step.

I

t’s too bad it took the deaths of 20 children and six adults at the hands of a gunman who reportedly had mental health problems in Connecticut to get the nation’s attention about the need for added attention to mental health services.

Nonetheless, Gov. Sam Brownback’s plans to address that challenge have the potential to make a positive impact on mental health services in Kansas.

Last week, the governor announced his plan to dedicate $10 million in mental health funds to an initiative aimed at treating the state’s most at-risk cases.

His idea is to create regional networks to provide services to those in need of intensive mental health care. He also plans to establish a new task force that includes representatives from mental health, medical and criminal justice fields to evaluate the state’s current mental health system and make recommendations.

Mental health professionals are cautiously optimistic about the plan but are waiting to learn more details. It’s important to note that the governor is not talking about adding $10 million to the state’s mental health budget; he plans to take $10 million that now is funding other services and dedicate it to his new mission.

So even if that money is put to good use, it is being taken away from other good uses within the mental health budget. As David Johnson, chief executive officer of Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center, noted, it will be important “to make sure we are not dropping the ball someplace else.”

Johnson’s concern is understandable. In the last four to five years, he has watched Bert Nash lose $1.4 million in funding and 25 staff positions. One of the challenges of any program the governor proposes will be to make sure money continues to fund services and not an increased mental health bureaucracy in the state. The task force, and the members Brownback chooses for that task force, will be key. Appointing a task force doesn’t accomplish much unless the recommendations of those experts are implemented and, if necessary, funded with additional state resources.

The governor and many state legislators are particularly concerned these days about simply throwing money at problems that need to be solved. However, there are times when increased funding is important and justified to address critical needs. Providing mental health services to people who pose a threat to themselves or others — or to people who will otherwise fill our jails because there is no other help available to them — may qualify as just such a critical need.

Hearings put focus on national security WASHINGTON — Senate hearings on the nomination of Chuck Hagel to be defense secretary will be a distinctive Washington entertainment, a donnybrook without drama. He should be confirmed: Presidents are due substantial deference in selecting Cabinet members because they administer presidential policies and, unlike judicial appointments, they leave when their nominators do. Hagel will be confirmed because Sen. Chuck Schumer, after hesitating theatrically enough to propitiate supporters of Israel, of whom there are many among his New York constituents, has decided not to oppose Hagel. Opposition would have ended Schumer’s hope to make the nation nostalgic for Harry Reid by succeeding him as Senate Democratic leader. Still, the hearings will be sound and fury signifying renewed interest in national security policy, which can be illuminated by Hagel addressing questions like these:

In 1997, 28 years after you returned from Vietnam with two Purple Hearts, we heard a May 27, 1964, taped telephone conversation in which President Lyndon Johnson said to his national security adviser, McGeorge Bundy: “I don’t think it’s worth fighting for and I don’t think we can get out.”

Johnson also said: “What in the hell is Vietnam worth to me? What is Laos worth to me? What is it worth to this country?” At the time, there were only 16,000 U.S. forces in Vietnam, where there had

The U.S. deployment would peak at more than 500,000 in 1969 and 58,000 would die there. How did this tape, and Vietnam generally, shape your thinking?

Your critics say that you managed to be wrong on Iraq twice, by supporting the 2003 invasion and by opposing the 2007 surge. If the surge had not happened, what would have happened in Iraq?

How many sorties, including attacks on Iran’s air defense systems, would be required to significantly degrade and delay Iran’s nuclear program? Can Israel mount such an air campaign alone? Would you favor U.S. cooperation, with intelli-

gence and special munitions?

Did you refuse to sign a 2006 letter urging the European Union to declare Hezbollah a terrorist organization because you consider that designation inaccurate?

From your 2009 endorsement of U.S. negotiations with Hamas, can we conclude that you oppose the policy of not negotiating with terrorists?

You call our sanctions against Cuba “outdated,” “unrealistic,” “irrelevant” and “nonsensical.” What Cuba policy would you recommend?

Do you agree with Defense Secretary Leon Panetta’s judgment that cuts under sequestration would “hollow out the force”? Can you give examples of procurements or deployments that justify your description of the Defense Department as “bloated”?

The Navy has nine aircraft carriers. Aircraft carrier groups are the principal means of projecting U.S. power. And they are very expensive. How many should we have? How is your calculation influenced by the fact that seven weeks ago China for the first time landed a fighter jet on the deck of an aircraft carrier?

Congress’ power to declare war has atrophied since it was last exercised (against Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary on June 5, 1942). Should Congress authorize America’s wars?

In 2011, President Obama, using a passive syntax, said our military “is being volunteered by others to carry

out missions” in Libya. The original rationale for this — before mission meander embraced regime change — was “R2P,” the responsibility to protect civilians. Do you support applying this doctrine to Syria? If removing Moammar Gaddafi was an important U.S. interest, why was it, and when did it become so? Do you dispute the illegality of Obama’s ignoring the War Powers Resolution that requires military interventions to end after 60 days, absent congressional approval?

Speaking of the imperial presidency, do you believe that the use of drones to target specific individuals means presidents have an unreviewable power to kill whomever they define as enemies? Do you favor “signature strikes” wherein drones attack not identifiable individuals but groups of young males whose characteristics match the “signature” of terrorists?

In 1949, one of NATO’s founders said its purpose was “to keep the Americans in (Europe), the Germans down and the Russians out..” What is its purpose now? Given that U.S. military spending is three times larger than the combined spending of NATO’s other 27 members, is it not obvious that those nations feel no threat?

Bonus question: Might fewer than 54,000 U.S. forces in Germany suffice to defend that country, or Western Europe, from whatever threat they are there to deter?

OLD HOME TOWN

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Jan. 17, 1913: YEARS “There is still AGO complaint about IN 1913 boys shooting squirrels in this city. The marshal had his police make a tour on the west side but the boys are killing the squirrels fast on the east side. One woman who loves animals of all kinds notified the Journal-World this morning that five of her pet squirrels had been killed last night. This is cruelty to animals.

In addition to the city getting after the boys, the juvenile court gets a chance at them as well.”

Humanity must temper power Does torture work?

It is a Bush-era debate that has found Obama-era relevance because of a new movie, “Zero Dark Thirty,” in which torture seems to work quite well.

The film, an Oscar nominee for Best Picture, is being sold as a fact-based accounting of the 10-year manhunt that led to the killing of Osama bin Laden. In it, torture — the water-boarding, sleep deprivation, stress positions, hitting and humiliation the U.S. government once antiseptically dubbed “enhanced interrogation” — is depicted as integral to the information gathering that allowed the CIA to find him.

That depiction has alarmed some observers. Acting CIA Director Michael Morell recently issued a statement to agency employees in which he says the film gives the impression these brutal methods “were the key to finding bin Laden. That impression is false.”

Actors Martin Sheen and Ed Asner are so upset at that impression that they have reportedly asked members of the Motion Picture Academy not to support the film in Academy Awards voting.

But torture still has its defenders. Bush-era Attorney General Michael Mukasey penned an op-ed in the Wall

Leonard Pitts Jr.

Beg pardon, but we have been asking the wrong question. What matters is not whether torture works. What matters is whether torture is right.”

Street Journal in 2011 defending the harsh techniques because, he said, they produced results. In a recent column, George F. Will went so far as to quote Jack Nicholson’s famous “You can’t handle the truth!” speech from “A Few Good Men” about the moral choices the nation’s defenders are required to make. Will, who dubbed torture “hard but morally defensible,” failed to mention that Nicholson’s character ends up arrested and disgraced.

Does torture work?

Beg pardon, but we have been asking the wrong question. What matters is not whether torture works. What

matters is whether torture is right.

Consider: Mothers Against Drunk Driving reports that drunken drivers kill almost 10,000 people a year. That’s three Sept. 11’s and then some. But if you wanted to stop that carnage, it would be simple. Just make drunken driving a capital crime with instant punishment. The evidence — blood alcohol levels — allows for scientific certainty of guilt, so there’d be no need of a long trial. We could execute the miscreants within a day.

Drunken driving would disappear. The new policy would solve the problem. It would work.

And if that were truly the ultimate rubric by which we decided a question, there could be no argument against it. But we won’t make drunken driving a capital crime for one simple reason.

It would be wrong. In fact, it would be repellent to our values, inconsonant with the kind of people we consider ourselves to be.

That is the same reason torture unsettles the American conscience and why addressing that unease by debating its efficacy misses the point. We are a nation where human rights are enshrined in law, a nation that proudly, routinely lectures other na-

tions on the need to close their gulags, free their dissidents, treat human beings as human beings.

We cannot be that nation and yet also this other nation that tortures and then defends torture because it works. Indeed, if that were the only important metric, what other things might we do, condone or defend?

But it isn’t the only important metric.

In America, even drunken drivers, even child rapists and murderers, have rights and, though those rights are sometimes inconvenient, even incompatible with justice, we honor them anyway because we realize the nation’s moral authority derives precisely from the willingness of the state to curb its own power — even when it has reason to do otherwise, even when doing otherwise might “work.”

This is an obeisance power makes to human freedom. On the day it no longer does, it is not just terrorists who will be in trouble.

Power that is not constrained by humanity is not constrained by anything at all.

KANSAS FORWARD PERRY ELLIS GETS UP TO BLOCK A SHOT by Baylor center Isaiah Austin on Monday at Allen Fieldhouse.

Semester in, Ellis starts to open up

By Tom Keegan

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Wichita Heights valedictorian Perry Ellis didn’t disappoint in the classroom his first semester at Kansas University.

“I did pretty well. I got three A’s and two B’s. I tried my best. That’s all you can do,” said Ellis, a 6-foot-8, 225-pound freshman forward.

He admits it’s been nice only having to think about basketball since last day off finals on Dec. 14.

“It’s going to be pretty tough getting back adjusted to class and stuff. I feel after the first couple weeks we’ll get used to it again,” Ellis said of next Tuesday’s start of spring semester of the 2012-13 school year.

Ellis — he has averaged 5.3 points and 3.8 rebounds while logging 14.5 minutes a game in 16 games (two starts, 14 reserve roles) — has big plans for his on-court performance second semester.

One of the quietest members of the team — “Perry doesn’t talk,” coach Bill Selff joked a few weeks ago — Ellis suddenly opened up in KU’s last game, Monday’s 6144 home victory over Baylor.

“I like it. I like it. I like it.

He is begging for the ball now,” KU point guard Elijah Johnson said after Ellis scored six points off 3-of-9 shooting and grabbed seven rebounds while playing 21 minutes. “I wanted to get him the ball because I feel right now he’s trying to take a step as far as what he’s going to do at Kansas,” Johnson added.

Ellis explained his requests for the ball on the block.

“This was my first time really calling for it,” Ellis said.

“It’s something I was feeling a lot more comfortable out there. That’s why I did that.”

Self, who has wanted Ellis to become more of a presence, saw progress against Baylor.

“I thought he was aggressive,” Self said. “The guy is a great shooter and just shot it miserably for his skills.

As far as shooting the ball ... he shot a couple airballs, bricked free throws (0-for-2) but that’s OK. He was at least aggressive and put himselff in position to score which I thought was very positive.”

Ellis had two of KU’s 13 blocked shots versus Baylor.

“We tried to keep our hands up, play with our head and feet, not your body.

That’s what we tried to emphasize. That’s what we did,” Ellis said. “I mean, we learn from Jeff (Withey) in

n the eve of his 2013 season debut, PGA touring pro Gary Woodland had an unsettled mind badly in need of soothing.

“How’s Ben McLemore’s ankle?” Woodland asked early in a telephone interview he conducted from La Quinta, Calif., where he is playing in the Humana Challenge, formerly known as the Bob Hope Classic.

Woodland was relieved to hear that McLemore appears to be on course to play Saturday against Texas in Austin.

Like so many Kansas graduates, the state of the basketball team never strays far from his mind. He said he will have a Jayhawk back on his bag this season and two of his clubs will be protected by Jayhawk head covers. he Despite all his own fame, aacquired by winning The Transitions, a PGA tour T ev vent in Orlando two years ago, and by competing so well in the four major tournaments in 2011, Woodland is no less wowed than the average fan

by KU’s freshman guard from St. Louis.

“I’ve never seen anyone like him,” Woodland said of McLemore. “I went to a couple of practices last year and I couldn’t believe how active he was defensively. He was all over Tyshawn (Taylor) and you just don’t see that from a freshman. You could tell he was having a blast and that’s carried over into this year.

Cityy basketball teams head to tournaments Free State boys hope to end losing g streak, build chemistry y

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

It has been 41 days since Free State High’s boys basketball team last left the floor with a victory.

What better time to get away for a while?

The Firebirds hope to break a six-game losing streak as soon as tonight, when they begin their threeday stay at the McPherson Invitational Basketball Tournament.

In the minutes following the most recent FSHS loss, Friday against Olathe Northwest, coach Chuck Law told his team the upcoming tournament might be just what it Please see KU HOOPS, page 3B needs.

“Teams find themselves sometimes during tournament week,” Law said. “You go someplace different, play some different teams, you’re in a different setting, maybe try some different combination of guys that you haven’t played together to that point in the year.

“A lot of strange things happen. Teams that you wouldn’t think would beat people, on paper, find a way to do it in the tournament week. That’s what I’m hopeful we’ll do.”

The Firebirds (2-6) have the unenviable task of opening the tournament against the host Bullpups (8-1).

The No. 5 team in Class 4A, McPherson features a talented starting unit and beat Topeka Washburn Rural (No. 10 in 6A) by 16 in December.

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Lawrence High boys basketball coach Mike Lewis has seen enough from his players this season to know it’s not just when they’re knocking down shots that LHS has the best chance to win. When the Lions get scrappy, they truly are at their best.

With a focused energy on defense and a feisty approach on the glass, LHS earned its most notable victory of the season Friday against Olathe South, the No. 2 team in Class 6A. The timing, senior guard Jake Mosiman said, couldn’t have been better for Lawrence (6-3), which begins g

playing tonight at the threeday Topeka Invitational Tournament.

“I think because they’re a ranked team in the state,” Mosiman said of beating OSouth, “that gives us a lot of confidence to go in and say we can beat whoever.”

First on deck for LHS is Wichita East (6-2) — 6:45 tip tonight at Topeka West. The Aces have won five straight and are one of many teams, according to Lewis, who could end up tournament champions come Saturday night.

“It has that same feel of a sub-state,” Lewis said of the TIT, “where one team could get hot and really get on a roll.”

Story of Teâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;o girlfriend apparently a hoax SOUTH BEND, IND. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Notre Dame said a story that star Manti Teâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s girlfriend had died of leukemia â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a loss he said inspired him all season and helped him lead the Irish to the BCS title game â&#x20AC;&#x201D; turned out to be a hoax apparently perpetrated against the linebacker.

The university issued a statement about a hoax Wednesday after Deadspin.com said it could find no record that Lennay Kekua ever existed.

By Teâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own account, she was an â&#x20AC;&#x153;onlineâ&#x20AC;? girlfriend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is incredibly embarrassing to talk about, but over an extended period of time, I de-

veloped an emotional relationship with a woman I met online.

We maintained what I thought to be an authentic relationship by communicating frequently online and on the phone, and I grew to care deeply about her,â&#x20AC;? he said in statement.

Teâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;o â&#x20AC;&#x153;To realize that I was the victim of what was apparently someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sick joke and constant lies was, and is, painful and humiliating.â&#x20AC;?

Sporting KC cites loss of trust for change KANSAS CITY, KAN. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The loss of trust â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not money or a tarnished reputation â&#x20AC;&#x201D; led Sporting KC to sever ties with the cancer charity founded by Lance Armstrong, according to a team official.

But Sporting KC chief executive Robb Heineman also said Wednesday the â&#x20AC;&#x153;tumultuous environmentâ&#x20AC;? that developed before the cyclist admitted using performance enhancing drugs also played into the Major League Soccer teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to end the relationship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The severance for us was about violating the trust of a partnership. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what they did. Does Lance bleed over into that? Certainly,â&#x20AC;? Heineman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whether anyone wants to say it or not, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s connected to the foundation. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why we have to always answer questions around him. ... Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get away from.â&#x20AC;?

Sporting KC announced Tuesday the team was changing the name of Livestrong Sporting Park to Sporting Park and ending its novel arrangement with the charity that began in 2011.

Under the naming rights deal, Livestrong didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay to have its name on the $200 million soccer stadium in Kansas City, Kan. Instead, the team promised to donate $7.5 million in stadium revenues to Livestrong over six years.

Heineman said the decision came after ESPN reported that Livestrong recently said Sporting still owed $750,000 of the $1 million promised to the foundation in 2012. Heineman said the team doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t owe Livestrong any money, but he would not discuss the contract. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When they started to, for the lack of a better term, start to drag us through the mud a little bit in public around the relationship, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just nothing we have an interest in,â&#x20AC;? Heineman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would call it inaccurate, unfair and a breach of confidentiality. I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at the core of any of this.â&#x20AC;?

But he said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to parse how much the loss of trust in Livestrong because of the contract discussion in the media and Armstrongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doping admission played into the end the partnership. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a hard thing to say because one is so connected to the other,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If this would just have been about Lance and his reputation would we have made the same decision at some point? Potentially. Potentially. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because what this has begun to do over time as I mentioned to you is erode the focus of what we and the partnership were all about,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Heineman said Sporting and Livestrong had discussions for several months about their partnership but would not go into detail about those discussions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think as the tension and as the tumultuous environment continued to kind of surround Livestrong, we kept working with them around how can we modify things,â&#x20AC;? Heineman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that what we saw was the brand was evolving .... And for us the vision of Livestrong always was it was going to be much bigger than one person.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;In retrospect, I obviously should have been much more cautious. If anything good comes of this, I hope it is that others will be far more guarded when they engage with people online than I was.â&#x20AC;?

The university said its coaches were informed by Teâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;o and his parents on Dec. 26 that Teâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;o had been the victim of what appeared to be a hoax. Someone using a fictitious name â&#x20AC;&#x153;apparently ingratiated herself with Manti and then conspired with others to lead him to believe she had tragically died of leukemia,â&#x20AC;? the school said.

The university said â&#x20AC;&#x153;the

proper authoritiesâ&#x20AC;? are investigating a â&#x20AC;&#x153;very cruel deception to entertain its perpetrators.â&#x20AC;?

Notre Dame would not exactly who was investigating the case.

The week before Notre Dame played Michigan State on Sept.

15, coach Brian Kelly told reporters that Teâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandmother and a friend had died. Teâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;o didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss the game. He said Kekua had told him not to miss a game if she died. Teâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;o turned in one of his best performances of the season in the 20-3 victory in East Lansing, and his playing through heartache became a prominent theme during the Irishâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s undefeated regular season.

OREGON FOOTBALL COACH CHIP KELLY celebrates after his team defeated Kansas State in the Fiesta Bowl on Jan. 3 in Glendale, Ariz. Kelly has been hired to coach the Philadelphia Eagles.

Kelly leaving Oregon to coach Philadelphia PHILADELPHIA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; In the end, Chip Kelly chose the NFL, giving the Eagles their guy.

Philadelphia hired Kelly on Wednesday, just 10 days after he decided to stay at Oregon. The 49-year-old Kelly, known as an offensive innovator, becomes the 21st coach in team history and replaces Andy Reid, who was fired on Dec. 31 after a 4-12 season.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be introduced at a news conference today at the Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; practice facility.

Kelly, who was 46-7 in four years at Oregon, interviewed with the Eagles, Cleveland Browns and Buffalo Bills in a two-day span after leading the fast-flying Ducks to a victory over Kansas State in the Fiesta Bowl Jan. 3.

The Eagles are known to have interviewed 11 candidates, including two meetings with Seahawks defensive coordinator Gus Bradley.

All along, Kelly was thought to be Philadelphiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first choice in a long, exhaustive process that took many twists. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chip Kelly will be an outstanding head coach for the Eagles,â&#x20AC;? owner Jeffrey Lurie said in a statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has a brilliant football mind. He motivates his team with his actions as well as his words. He will be a great leader for us and will bring a fresh energetic approach to our team.â&#x20AC;?

Bears hire Alouettes coach CHICAGO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Chicago Bears hired Montreal Alouettes coach Marc Trestman on Wednesday to replace the fired Lovie Smith.

He has two basic tasks â&#x20AC;&#x201D; fix the offense and lead the team to the playoffs on a consistent basis.

How he meshes with quarterback Jay Cutler could go a long way toward determining his success.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first head coaching job in the NFL for Trestman, a longtime assistant in the league who spent the past five seasons coaching the CFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alouettes and led them to two Grey Cup titles.

KU’s ‘Rock Chalk Park’ plans taking shape

Illustration courtesy of Kansas Athletics

As first reported by the Journal-World on Jan. 7 (bit. ly/WJJpLC), the Kansas University athletic department’s plans for what has come to be known as “Rock Chalk Park” are moving along and construction could begin in a matter of weeks.

In formally announcing their progress this week, KU officials also released plans for what the softball, soccer and track and field complex located near the intersection of 6th Street and George Williams Way might look like.

The $50 million project,

which is to include a 7,000seat track and field stadium with a state-of-the-art IAFF track, a 2,500-seat soccer stadium and a 1,500-seat softball stadium, is expected to cost KU around $39 million, thanks to the university’s relationship with

Lawrence developer Thomas Fritzel.

KU hopes to host the 2014 Kansas Relays at its new facility, which, when built, will allow Zenger to shift his focus to upgrading and renovating Memorial Stadium and Allen Fieldhouse.

BRIEFLY Football, soccer set GPA records

FSHS wrestling falls in SMNW dual

The Kansas University football and soccer teams set academic records during the fall semester in 2012.

The football program’s 2.83 team grade-point average was the highest for a fall semester since the school began keeping track of such numbers in 1986.

The record-setting semester for the football team comes on the heels of a giant leap last spring, when KU coach Charlie Weis helped his squad jump more than half a letter grade from 2.46 to 3.0 during the spring semester.

Soccer, meanwhile, recorded a 3.46 GPA, an alltime best for the sport and the highest of all of KU’s sports last fall.

Seven other teams eclipsed the 3.0 mark, including: women’s golf (3.42), swimming and diving (3.31), volleyball (3.27), men’s cross country (3.17), tennis (3.17), women’s cross country (3.17) and rowing (3.06).

The KU men’s basketball program recorded a 2.66 team GPA and the athletic department’s combined GPA came in at 2.94, with 29 student-athletes recording a 4.0 GPA and 195 others finishing above 3.0.

SHAWNEE — Shawnee Mission Northwest defeated Free State, 45-35, on Wednesday in a high school wrestling dual.

Winning for the Firebirds were Quailan Fowler at 106, Sid Miller at 113, Colton Steele at 145, Sam Skwarlo at 160, Mike Mattox at 220 and Sterling Ozark at 285.

Next action for FSHS is Saturday at the Paola Invitational.

Keegan honored with NSSA award Lawrence Journal-World sports editor Tom Keegan, now in his eighth year leading the sports department, has been named the Kansas sportswriter of the year by the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association.

The NSSA recognizes one writer and one broadcaster from each state every year and also hands out several national awards annually.

Keegan joins JournalWorld sports writer Gary Bedore (2005) as current members of the staff to have won the honor. He will be recognized at the 54th Annual NSSA Awards Weekend, June 8-10 in Salisbury, N.C.

“It’s nice to get back here and get a little positive vibe going,” said Woodland, who skipped the tournament last year.

“It’s nice to get back to where you’ve had some success.”

As was the case two years ago, Woodland is staying at the winter home of Kansas car dealer Laird Noller, a Lawrence resident.

Woodland’s 2011 near miss in the tourney launched him onto the national stage and soon everyone became familiar with his college athletics path: Played basketball as a freshman for Division II Washburn University, including in an exhibition in Allen Fieldhouse, and then transferred to Kansas to play golf. Ever since, Woodland has been one of the longest blasters of drives on the planet.

To stay on tour without winning a tournament this year, Woodland must finish in the top 125 on the money list.

“It’s great now that I’m healthy,” Woodland said of his confidence.

“I proved I could play with anybody when I was healthy. Last year I was

playing in pain and going through swing changes.”

Woodland switched swing coaches before last season, when he became one of instructor Butch Harmon’s select group of pupils. Harmon worked with him on drawing the ball.

“We’re back to fading,” Woodland said. “He just wanted me to be able to learn to draw. We’re back

to fading it 90 percent of the time but I’m definitely able to hit a draw now.”

Woodland said he is “a better golfer and a better person” for what he went through last year.

“I’m excited to get off to a good start and ride the momentum,” Woodland said. He added he plans to play in 25 tournaments.

Naturally, Woodland seized the first opportuni-

What, he was asked, might he and Vegas be talking about during their rounds?

Vegas golfed for the University of Texas and has been known to wear burnt orange on the course.

“We’ve played well enough in a lot of games (four losses by six points or less) and we just haven’t finished. That’s on all of us, but specifically on a few players, like me.

We just need to finish better. We’re always in the game. I think once we get one win under our belt it’ll be a lot easier to get the next one.” ing, but also gave LHS a defensive presence inside.

“That provides a lot of momentum and confidence for our group,” Lewis said. “So I hope the Jacob Serattes and the Sterling Fullers can do that for us.”

No matter who stars for LHS, Mosiman said the Lions will be confident.

“I think in high school sports anybody can beat anybody on any night,” he said. “So going in there we shouldn’t be intimidated like some teams could be going into this tournament.”

Actually, chemistry is one area in which the Firebirds could use some improvement, junior guard Reshawn Caro said:

“When we go down to McPherson we’re gonna have team bonding.”

“It’s gonna take playing as a team, like we did against Olathe South,” Bonner said, “spreading out scoring, getting rebounds. We’ve definitely gotta crash the boards. The last two games we’ve crashed the boards and that’s led to success.”

Lewis hopes LHS can continue that trend for

thee consecutive days at Topeka.

“It’s gonna take a balanced effort with nine or 10 of our players,” Lewis said, adding the substitutes in the rotation need to keep Lawrence competitive when they’re on the floor.

Bench production proved crucial when Lawrence knocked off OSouth (whom LHS could play again Friday in the semifinals). Back-up forwards Jacob Seratte and Sterling Fuller stepped up not only with their scor-

Dear Annie: I am a senior in high school. My boyfriend of nine months broke up with me a month after he went off to college. He ended our relationship because it was his first time being on his own, and he didn’t want anyone tying him down.

He said he needs time to figure out his life. He claims I will understand when I go to college, and I am trying to accept this.

Our breakup was amicable, even though I was upset. We still text and talk on a regular basis. I know he has no intention of getting back together, at least not now. I have seen him three times since we broke up, and every time we end up sleeping together. He told me recently that he thinks he is interested in another girl.

My friends say it’s best if I cut all ties with him — no more talking, texting or seeing him when he’s home for breaks. My friends have never been

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

through something like this, though, so they don’t understand how hard it would be for me to not have him in my life. Annie, what do you think? — Confused in California Dear Confused: Please stop sleeping with your ex-boyfriend. It only muddies the water and makes everything more difficult. He has broken up with you, and frankly, he was right to do so. He’s away at school and wants to date other women. Instead of simply cheating on you, he was honest and ended things. But

Sitcom draws line, crosses it Outrageous Australian comedian Jim Jefferies stars in the new sitcom “Legit” (9:30 p.m., FX). In a stretch, he plays an outrageous Australian comedian named Jim. He’s liable, or rather certain, to say whatever is on his mind, no matter the setting or how offensive it is. Unlike the gaffe-prone characters on Ricky Gervais’ “The Office,” Larry David’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm” or Louis C.K.’s “Louie,” there’s scant story to explain Jim’s outbursts.

There’s very little situation in this situation comedy.

While chatting with his Los Angeles-based agent, Steve (Dan Bakkedahl), in a passport office, Jim explains how he’d like a child without the burden of marriage. He thinks this could be best arranged by dating and impregnating a woman with terminal cancer who would conveniently die soon after giving birth. In his logic, he could have sex, get a child and look like a hero. He says this all within earshot of a female passport agent who reacts in horror.

The scene introduces the show’s signature style of rude, unfiltered humor and is probably intended to clear the television audience of any female viewers.

Next up: a trip to Las Vegas to score a hooker for Steve’s paralyzed brother, Billy (DJ Qualls). ‘‘Legit” caps off a night of unfettered male libidos on FX. Charlie loses his temper in two episodes of “Anger Management” (8 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.), now entering its second season. “Archer” (9 p.m.) suffers from amnesia in that animated comedy’s fourth season premiere.

A special episode of “Oprah’s Next Chapter” (8 p.m., OWN) features disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong seeking media penance from the TV host.

Tonight’s other highlights

Florida holds many surprises on “30 Rock” (7 p.m., NBC).

Auditions continue on “American Idol” (7 p.m., Fox).

Kylie and the admiral conspire on “Last Resort” (7 p.m., ABC).

Ann’s bash for Leslie gets derailed on “Parks and Recreation” (7:30 p.m., NBC).

An espresso machine takes a beating on “The Office” (8 p.m., NBC).

The doctors receive an update on their class action suit on “Grey’s Anatomy” (8 p.m., ABC).

News of the rigged election emerges on “Scandal” (9 p.m., ABC).

continuing to sleep with you is taking advantage.

You have to let him go.

If you want to remain friends, fine, but only if it doesn’t include “with benefits.” You need some space to get over him and move on with your life.

Dear Annie: I’ve never read a letter with my problem: I’m not attracted to my husband anymore, and that’s why I’m not having sex with him.

I have a stronger sex drive than my husband, who will be 50 soon. When we were in our 30s and he wasn’t so overweight, I would initiate sex if he had bathed and brushed his teeth after coming home from his construction job dirty, sweaty and greasy. The problem is that he stopped bathing, and I can’t deal with his significant beer belly and his horrible breath. Also, he has sinus issues and is constantly clearing his throat, which drives me nuts.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Thursday, Jan. 17: This year you will make an unusually strong effort to keep the peace; however, remember that you are human. If you are single, a serious yet attractive member of the opposite sex strolls right through your door. If you are attached, the two of you have serious talks and become more accepting of each other.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) Avoid getting into a situation where control is the major issue. Once that behavior is eliminated or toned down, you will be able to see the feelings behind the manipulation. Tonight: A friend wants you to join him or her.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Pull back and do some thinking before acting on an evolving situation with a difficult loved one.

You might want to stop making judgments. Tonight: Get into a favorite hobby.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) A meeting energizes you to become more proactive about a long-term goal or desire. It is you who will need to make this happen.

Tonight: Make plans with a friend or loved one.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Step forward, and be willing to take a stand with someone who makes many demands. This person is not a good fit with your personality. Tonight: Find your best friend and make plans.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Keep reaching out to experts or people you respect for advice. When you hit a roadblock, you might want a different take

I am in good shape, and other men still admire me, which only adds to my frustration. Actually, the frustration is turning into bitterness because he makes no effort to get into better shape. Now I am simply turned off. We do very little together as a couple except eat. I’m sure he blames me for our lack of intimacy.

Please let men know that they can’t expect their wives to look great while they let themselves go. These middle-age issues never occurred to me when I was younger.

— No Longer Compatible Dear No Longer: This is part of “in sickness and in health.” You might find your husband more appealing if he made even a small effort. “Not trying” seems like “not caring.”

But it’s possible your husband has some issues with depression and aging. See whether counseling and a doctor’s checkup help. We hope so. jacquelinebigar.com

on how to bypass it. Tonight: Read between the lines.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Relate to an associate directly. You’ll hear what this person is saying, but you might wonder if there is a hidden agenda behind his or her words. Tonight: Off to the gym.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Defer to a strong-willed associate or friend. Apparently, this person has a strong vision for what needs to happen. Tonight: Say “yes.”

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Pace yourself, as you could have a lot to do. You might hit a wall in a discussion, or perhaps someone seems to be pulling away. Tonight: Choose a stressbuster.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Stay focused regarding an important conversation. A disagreement could emerge over a financial issue with a partner or loved one. Tonight: Express your playfulness.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You have a lot going on around your home and personal life.

You could have a very strong reaction to a discussion. Tonight: Buy someone a gift on the way home.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Do not stand on ceremony. Everyone will be happier once there is resolution, and the answer is in your hands. Tonight: Join a friend at a favorite spot.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Be aware of the costs of a problem that evolves. One path might be hard on your ego. Tonight: Treat yourself.
