BRIEFLY KU prof to speak on depression Kansas University professor Steve Ilardi will offer strategies to help alleviate depression during a program at 4 p.m. Thursday at the Lawrence Senior Center, 745 Vt. Ilardi, an associate professor of clinical psychology and author of “The DepresIlardi sion Cure,” will talk about lifestyle changes that can be effective in reducing depression. He says that depression rates have increased more than 20-fold in the last century because of the modern pace of life, which can be sedentary, frenzied, fast-food-laden and sleep deprived.

Ilardi has treated several hundred patients for depression through his clinical practice. He’s also the author of more than 40 professional articles on mental illness.

The program, sponsored by Douglas County Senior Services and KU College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, is free and open to the public.

Mouse causes KU power outage Power was out for a little more than an hour on much of the east side of the Kansas University campus after a mouse caused an electrical short on Tuesday afternoon, said Jill Jess, a KU spokeswoman.

Jess said the buildings affected included but weren’t limited to Bailey, Blake, Dyche, Fraser, Lippincott, Smith, Spooner, Twente and Wesley halls, as well as Spencer Museum, Watson Library, Kansas Union and some or all scholarship halls.

The outage began about 2:10 p.m., and power was restored to buildings gradually, with all power being restored at 3:30 p.m., Jess said.

House gives preliminary OK to bill protecting students with disabilities

By Chris Hong chong@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Parents and advocates of disabled children gathered outside the Kansas House of Representatives chambers on Tuesday afternoon, distributing fliers that told stories of “unsafe restraint and seclusion” in Kansas schools.

There’s Ike, a “typical” 10-yearold from Wichita who wears black glasses and a big smile. One of his parents witnessed a teacher “slamming Ike to the floor while two other teachers held him

prone,” according to the flier.

Then there’s Alexis, a 10-year-old from Johnson County with a disability. Alexis was dragged through LEGISLATURE a hall and outside of the school to a bus by two staff members not trained to use safe restraint. She had to be taken to the emergency room with multiple injuries, including a “significant shoulder sprain, bruises and scrapes,” the flier said.

Meanwhile, the Kansas Legislature preliminarily passed a bill

aimed at preventing these incidents. HB 2444 would convert existing guidelines regarding seclusion and restraint in Kansas schools into state law.

“Every single school district will be required to follow the guidelines,” said Rep. Mike Kiegerl, R-Olathe, who has worked on the bill for two years.

The bill prohibits school staff from using physical restraint or placing children in seclusion rooms as a means of discipline or punishment. It also prohibits

Kansas Senate panel stalls on House Republicans rebuff Democratic property tax cut governor’s school funding plan

By Scott Rothschild

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — The Senate Education Committee on Tuesday stalled in its work on Gov. Sam Brownback’s school finance overhaul.

Chairwoman Jean Schodorf, R-Wichita, indicated if the committee manages to reach an agreement, its bill would probably differ drastically from Brownback’s plan.

Schodorf said the governor’s proposal is so complicated “it will take additional time to decide which parts of the bill we want.”

After two meetings working on the bill, Schodorf said the committee will resume its work next week.

Brownback’s plan would eliminate state limits on local property tax increases for education and would junk a system of providing extra funding to educate students who are at risk of failing.

Brownback has said this will give local residents more say in how much is

Fluker Award recipient named The Lawrence-Douglas County League of Women Voters has selected Scott Criqui to receive the 2012 Helen Fluker Open and Accessible Government Award.

The award honors a Douglas County resident who shows leadership in promoting citizen participation in government. Criqui was selected in recognition of his community work in human relations and voter education. Criqui is the human resources manager for Trinity In-Home Care. He also is chairman of the city Human Relations Commission and vice president of the Kansas State Transgender Education Project.

He has worked as a trainer for Headquarters Counseling Center and as a volunteer coordinator for Hospice Care of Douglas County. He is active in the Lawrence-Douglas County chapter of the Kansas Equality Coalition, the Voter Education Coalition and Kids Vote. Recently, through his education efforts, gender identity as a protected class was added to the city of Lawrence Human Relations Code.

“Scott’s work as a volunteer in Lawrence and his unwavering support for all members of our community have made Lawrence a better place for all,” said Arla Jones, of the NetworQ Committee.

The public is invited to the award luncheon, which will be at 11:30 a.m. March 3, at the Smith Center at Brandon Woods, 1501 Inverness Drive. Lunch is $14 a person. To make a reservation, contact Marjorie Cole at 842-6085 or nobledog@aol.com before Feb. 28.

The prohibitions exclude any methods used by law enforcement. The bill also does not allow for criminal or civil action to be taken toward teachers.

The bill allows the use of seclusion rooms and restraint on children with a disability when there is an imminent risk of harm or during a physical altercation. Only trained employees can use restraint, and employees must be able to see and hear a child while in seclusion.

“Some kids have been locked in a closet or restrained to the point of being injured,” said Rep. John Rubin, R-Shawnee.

“The point of this bill is that ought not to happen.”

dealership is currently located. Briggs said the project also will include a new Chrysler/Dodge/ Jeep showroom on the site of the current Nissan location, which is on the western edge of the Auto Plaza. Briggs said the Nissan Corporation is providing significant funding for the project, which will help promote their new line of electric cars.

The wind turbine will be used to generate a portion of the electricity for Briggs’ property, including six electric charging stations that will be installed at the Nissan dealership.

Commissioners on a 5-0 vote directed staff to continue working with Briggs, but the project will have several more steps before it can be finalized.

Planning Director Scott McCullough said the city and Briggs will have to have discussions with the Kansas Department of Transportation about displaying cars along Iowa Street. The project calls for cars to be parked in the current stretch of green space that is between Iowa Street and the frontage road that runs along Iowa Street in front of the Auto Plaza.

The city is uncertain whether KDOT or the city controls that stretch of green space.

The project also will require converting West 29th Terrace, which runs down the center of the But opponents of the bill said it would erode local control from school districts.

“We don’t need to tell teachers, ‘Here’s another tool you can’t use,’” said Rep. Bill Otto, R-LeRoy. Rep. Ward Cassidy, R-St. Francis, said the existing guidelines were already effective safety measures.

Families Together Inc., an organization that assists parents and their children with disabilities, supports the bill. Lesli Girard, director of the organization’s Topeka operations, said the group received 50 complaints of improper restraint and seclusion from parents in 2011.

“That’s just the tip of it, I think,” Girard said.

She said she thought the training teachers received under the law would improve children’s safety.

Efforts to create this legislation began in 2004,

That will allow vehicles to be parked in the median of the street, and also perhaps will allow for signs to be hung from street light poles.

Commissioners said they were more comfortable privatizing the street — as long as agreements are in place that ensures the public can still use the road — rather than creating the precedent that city median could be used for commercial purposes.

Commissioners though were told that allowing the vehicles to be parked along Iowa Street likely will generate requests from other businesses that want to increase their visibility.

“While we applaud what Mr. Briggs and his company are doing, we do not want to have others forgotten in the process,” said Jane Eldredge, an attorney who represents several local businesses.

“We would hope and expect to have similar treatment for those who follow.”

Briggs hopes to have the entire project completed by October of 2013.

said Rocky Nichols, executive director of the Disability Rights Center in Kansas. In 2007, the state adopted the current guidelines.

“We’ve tried to live within the voluntary guidelines, but it’s not working out for parents,” Nichols said.

Kevin Harrell, special education director for Lawrence public schools, said the bill would help Lawrence schools continue to do what’s best for students. He said Lawrence teachers try to avoid using restraint and seclusion rooms, and staff members discuss these practices with parents.

Currently, 36 states have adopted similar laws.

The House is expected to formally pass the bill during today’s session and advance it to the Senate, which will decide whether to send the bill to Gov. Sam Brownback.

TOPEKA — The legislative Democratic plan to reduce property taxes was rejected by Republicans in the House on Tuesday.

Rep. Jim Ward, D-Wichita, tried to amend a bill to give local governments $45 million over two years for local property tax relief. Under the proposal, Douglas County would have received $1.7 million to offset property taxes.

“We have a property tax problem in Kansas, and it’s high time we do

something about it,” said House Democratic Leader Paul Davis of Lawrence.

But Republicans, who hold a significant majority in the Legislature, argued against the proposal, saying Kansas should reduce the state income tax.

Ward’s amendment failed 41-76.

Republicans on the House Taxation Commit-

tee have approved a bill that cuts income tax rates. Republicans say the proposal will attract more businesses and improve the economy.

Democrats have criticized the proposal because it would cap state budget growth at 2 percent per year, borrows $351 million from the state transportation plan and reduces a tax credit aimed at helping the working poor.

Why is the city not concerned about the upkeep of trailer courts? We live next to two courts. There are condemned trailers and a lot of garbage. Some look like junk yards. Why doesn’t the city do anything?

More flu shots given out this season

By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

Kelsey Schimmel, pharmaceutical sales, Lawrence “Peanut butter and celery.”

Jeff Harshbarger, musician, Kansas City, Mo. “I like plantain chips.”

Brandon Deines, attorney, Lawrence “Apples.”

The Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department provided an influenza vaccination report during Monday evening’s board meeting.

It provided 2,727 flu shots this season, up 25 percent from the 2010-2011 season.

The health department administered 1,355 flu vaccines in its clinic and 1,372 were given in the community.

Director Dan Partridge said the increase was a result of new drive-thru clinics that they provided for city of Lawrence employees. The clinics served as an emergency preparedness training exercise for paramedics who administered the shots.

Here’s a list of where the department provided flu vaccines and how many were given:

City of Lawrence drive-thru clinics — 514.

Community drive-thru clinic — 504.

Lawrence Interdenominational Nutrition Kitchen — 30.

First Step at Lakeview — 9.

Douglas County Dental Clinic — 58.

Downtown Lawrence Inc. — 27.

Healthy Families Douglas County event — 20.

Eudora — 55.

Lecompton — 56.

Stull — 26.

Baldwin City — 73.

The health department made a profit of $3,802 from providing flu vaccines this season. Revenues were $34,313, and expenses were $30,511. He said when he became director in 2007, the health department spent about $20,000 and made about $40,000. He said the reason they aren’t as profitable is because they are reaching out to more low-income, vulnerable populations that probably wouldn’t get a flu shot if the health department didn’t reach out to them.

In the other incident, police arrested a 36-year-old Kansas City, Mo., man on an aggravated assault charge about 5:20 a.m. in the 1000 block of Massachusetts Street after he was accused of speaking aggressively to a woman in the area and holding a large tree branch in a threatening manner, Murphree said.

Boys and Girls Club names new director

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

An area director for a Boys and Girls Club in Tacoma, Wash., will become the new head of the Lawrence organization.

This week, the Boys and Girls Club announced Colby Wilson as its new executive director, a position that has Wilson been filled for more than a decade by Janet Bremby.

Wilson has spent the past 10 years with the Boys and Girls Club of South Puget Sound, where he was an area director and oversaw a $3.4 million budget.

“I’m just really excited,” Wilson said of his new post. “I’m humbled by the opportunity the board has given me to come in and lead and to do some great things for the club in Lawrence. I look forward to working with the community.”

Wilson began his career at the Boys and Girls Club while attending graduate school at Seattle Pacific University for sports and exercise leadership. At the time, he wanted to work with collegiate athletes but took a part-time job as an athletic coordinator for the

Boys and Girls Club and realized the difference he had on children’s lives.

Over the years, he worked his way up the organization as director of athletics and area director. He remains a strong supporter of the organization’s mission.

“If we reach more kids and make sure kids don’t fall through the cracks at a young age and get them engaged with the process of Boys and Girls Club and partnerships with schools, then we can have an impact on society,” Wilson said.

The board unanimously selected Wilson out of 40 applicants and noted they were impressed with his combination of leadership and analytical skills.

Wilson, who has a wife and two young children, plans to start his new job Feb. 27. Among Wilson’s first goals are to build stronger relationships with high school and middle school students and look for ways to increase revenue.

Bremby announced last year that she was stepping down from her position to move to Connecticut to be with her husband, Rod Bremby. She plans to continue working with the new executive director to ensure a smooth transition.

Workshop offers advice to small businesses

By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

Jon Hubbard and business partner Sally Ebright have a unique business product: chicken footstools.

Recline on your favorite chair and rest your weary legs on a handcrafted, alpaca-layered chicken footstool from the City Girl Farm.

“I feel like we have a product people will buy,” Hubbard said as he displayed a picture of one such stool he has at home.

They’re crafty and quirky, that’s for sure.

And the heads bobble.

But like any beginning business, the duo could benefit from a little expertise when it comes to the ins and outs of starting and running a business. That’s why Hubbard, along with a dozen other hopeful entrepreneurs, attended an entrepreneurship workshop Tuesday night at the KU Small Business Development Center.

Ebright makes the stools in Lyons, and Hubbard coordinates the marketing. On Tuesday, Hubbard said he was looking for a little guidance on some of the legal aspects of the business world.

The event was designed to help area people look-

ing to take that scary leap of starting a small business, said Will Katz, director of the center that offers free consulting to local small businesses.

“We help you where you are,” Katz said. That could mean you simply have an idea or have a developed plan but are looking for money.

Katz provided practical, and cautionary, advice to attendees — everything from incorporation options to the uncomfortable topic of asking friends and family to financially invest in a business.

It wasn’t exactly a scared-straight talk, but Katz was clear in highlighting the challenges of opening and operating a small business.

He was also clear to emphasize the positive impact local small businesses make.

As for the down economy? Katz said that shouldn’t deter those with a good, solid plan and a unique or valuable product or service from at least exploring the idea of stepping out on your own.

“I think this is a good time to start a small business,” he said.

BRADLEY J. ALLEN GIVES HIS THOUGHTS on the future of libraries to those gathered Tuesday at the Lawrence Public Library. Allen is the second of three candidates for the position of library director to interview for the job and address the public.

2nd library director candidate presents vision for future

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

The role of the Lawrence Public Library ought to grow to include areas for budding filmmakers, aspiring recording artists and a host of other creative types, a finalist for the library’s director position told a Lawrence audience Tuesday.

Brad Allen, the second of three candidates to interview for the library’s top position, said he envisions the library of the future to still have plenty of books but also to have room for things like “content creation stations” and “fab labs.”

“I believe these are the type of things that people in Lawrence are excited about,” said Allen, a Topeka native who previously worked for the Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library before taking a management position in the Everett, Wash., library system. “I see Lawrence as a community that likes to create things, and I think the library ought to be there to help.”

Allen said he would want to explore creating specific areas in the library that would allow users to record and film audio and video projects at the library while also having access to the computer technology to edit and finish the pieces.

“Maybe we could have a film festival of projects created at the library,” Allen said. “I really do think the library could be a repository for all sorts of locally produced work.”

Allen, who currently is a branch manager and program coordinator for the Everett Public Library, also envisions adding a 3-D printer that would allow people to produce actual plastic models of objects they have designed.

Allen was in Lawrence on Tuesday to interview for the Lawrence Public Library director position, which became open after longtime director Bruce Flanders retired and then took a job with an area library in October. Allen gave a public presentation to a crowd of about 30 people at the library on the future of libraries.

Among the challenges

BRIEFLY Author to discuss ‘Marriage Rules’ Clinical psychologist, best-selling author and relationship expert Harriet Lerner, of Lawrence, will talk about her latest book at 7 p.m. today at the Raven Bookstore, 6 E. Seventh St. “Marriage Rules: A Manual for the Married and Coupled Up,” Lerner’s 11th book, was released in January.

The book covers 106 rules, categorized under 10 topics, including:

Children: “Don’t let the inmates run the asylum”

Listening: “Overcome your Listening Deficit Disorder”

Sex: “Forget About Normal Sex!”

A Distant Partner: “Call off the Chase!”

Tonight’s event will also

include a question-andanswer session with the author and a book signing.

Missouri curators approve tuition hike COLUMBIA, MO. (AP) — University of Missouri students can expect a more modest tuition increase than anticipated in the next academic year, but the savings will likely put an undetermined number of campus employees out of work.

University curators agreed Monday to raise undergraduate tuition at the system’s four campuses this fall by an average of 3 percent for state residents. Including student fees, that works out to annual increases of $259 to $268 in Columbia, Kansas City, St. Louis and

AMISH

Allen sees for libraries in the future:

Striking the right balance between being an archive for important local documents while still creating an environment where users can “browse and discover delightful things.”

Working with publishing companies to ensure libraries have the opportunity to buy eBooks and other digital content, which has been more difficult for libraries to obtain than traditional books.

Allen grew up in Topeka and received his undergraduate degree from Kansas University in 1997. He also has a master’s of library and information science from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana, and a masters of Afro-American Studies from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

The increase is less than half the hike university system leaders proposed in late January. It also means the university can avoid seeking a waiver from the state Department of Higher Education — as well as angering Gov. Jay Nixon, who has warned the university to keep college costs down.

The governor’s office issued a statement soon after the curators’ vote “commending” the decision.

the two officers, calling it a personnel matter. Branson did not release the names or ranks of the two officers Tuesday, instead referring to his written statement.

“Information that may impact the officer’s veracity, show a propensity for bias or any evidence of a crime may be required to be turned over to defense counsel,” according to the statement.

“We will diligently review our files, past and current, to make sure that appropriate parties are notified.”

Also on Tuesday, Khatib and City Manager David Khatib Corliss confirmed that other officers were involved in the process of dismissing speeding tickets Corliss for an individual who had access to KU basketball tickets. The investigation has indicated those officers may have been asked by a single member of the police department to dismiss those tickets as a favor. It isn’t clear whether those other officers received KU basketball tickets in exchange for the dismissals. The city on Tuesday declined to provide an estimate of the number of other officers involved or whether other suspensions could be forthcoming.

“We have two people on suspension, and we’re still looking at the information to determine what the appropriate level of action is on the others,” Khatib said.

City officials previously have said their investigation determined that one officer largely orchestrated the ticket fixing, while the other officer on suspension had knowledge of the activity and did not step forward. But Khatib on Tuesday sought to assure residents that the misconduct was not widespread in the department.

“I don’t think the public needs to worry here that we’re talking about a ton of tickets,” Khatib said.

“This is not a widespread, systemic amount of officers. I can tell you that.

It is not that huge of an amount.

“It is not indicative of all of the officers. The public does not need to worry about how many officers are doing this.

The vast majority of officers are doing an excellent job, and occasionally some people drop the ball.

That is what we’re dealing with here. That is it.”

The city, though, has declined to release details about the number of tickets involved or the amount of time the alleged ticket fixing took place. But Corliss said he does expect to be in a position to release that information once the city has completed its investigation.

“I would hope sooner rather than later,” Corliss said of his timeline for releasing the information.

“I understand the interest in this and the interest to move on.”

The two officers were suspended following an investigation by the FBI in which no criminal charges were filed. Khatib said there was an internal investigation because it appeared the city’s gratuity policy had been violated.

Two officers have been placed on administrative leave.

Loss of license ordered in Kan. abortion case TOPEKA — A state administrative judge has ordered the revocation of a Kansas doctor’s license over her referrals of young patients to the late Dr. George Tiller for late-term abortions, concluding their care was “seriously jeopardized” by inadequate mental health examinations.

In an order that became public Tuesday, the judge said Dr. Ann Kristen Neuhaus failed to meet accepted standards of care in performing exams on 11 patients, ages 10 to 18, who had late-term abortions at Tiller’s clinic in Wichita from July to November 2003. The judge said Neuhaus’ records did not contain the information necessary to show she did thorough exams.

Kansas law required Tiller to get an opinion from another

DILBERT

doctor to terminate the pregnancies. Neuhaus said each patient’s mental health issues were serious enough to allow each procedure to go forward.

Neuhaus, from Nortonville, a small town about 30 miles north of Lawrence, doesn’t have an active medical practice, but her license allows her to provide limited charity care, and she’s seeking to make it fully active again. It wasn’t clear Tuesday how quickly she’d have to stop providing charity care under Judge Ed Gaschler’s order.

The order must be reviewed by the State Board of Healing Arts, which licenses and regulates physicians, most likely at an April 13 meeting. If the board makes Gaschler’s order final, Neuhaus still could file a legal challenge.

Corliss said the person whose speeding tickets were fixed is serving time in federal prison related to a broader KU tickets scandal from 2005 to 2010 after four Kansas Athletics Inc. employees and one athletic department consultant pleaded guilty in the $2 million cash-for-tickets scam.

Khatib, who was promoted to police chief in February 2011, received an anonymous letter in May 2011 about the allegations involving the police department, and it was eventually referred to federal authorities.

The city has not provided a definitive timeline of the events involving the officers beyond saying it occurred “over several years,” and Branson said Tuesday he did not yet have an indication for how far back his office would look at cases to review to see if any involved the two officers.

Branden Bell, a defense attorney, said last week he was advising clients not to enter a plea in pending cases involving a Lawrence police officer as a witness until the officers were identified saying it created an issue about credibility because the two officers were accused of engaging in “dishonest conduct.”

Khatib and Corliss have said “several” members of the department were involved in the dismissal of tickets but contended one individual orchestrated the matter. They have also not identified the now-imprisoned individual who provided the KU basketball tickets or said how many speeding tickets were dismissed.

Mayor Aron Cromwell has said that it was Khatib’s decision but that it was likely the officer leading the activity will be removed from the department.

Lin helps break stereotypes Police support PUBLIC FORUM

EDITORIALS

Tuition break Allowing military veterans to pay in-state tuition rates at state universities is a good investment for Kansas.

A

fter hearing Monday from two veterans who attend Kansas University, the House Education Budget Committee favorably recommended a bill that would allow all military veterans to pay the lower in-state tuition at any university in the Kansas Board of Regents system. Currently, military personnel and their families must have lived in the state for two years during their service and established a Kansas residence within 30 days of their discharge to qualify for in-state tuition.

Removing the residency requirements will increase the cost to the state, but attracting more veterans to Kansas universities has many benefits. Veterans often are highly motivated students who may be more likely to settle down in the state where they attend school. That helps build a strong work force for the state.

Perhaps even more important, it’s a good way to repay military veterans for the service they have provided to the country.

They have given years of their lives, when they could have been settling down, going to school and starting a career, to protecting the United States and her people. Now, as they leave the service, they are faced with a tight job market and reductions in Department of Veterans Affairs benefits to offset tuition expenses.

We owe our veterans a helping hand.

Offering them a tuition break at state universities is a good way to show our gratitude for their service.

An open letter to AfricanAmerican young people: So, have you caught “Linsanity” yet?

Meaning, of course, Jeremy Lin, the New York Knicks point guard who has, in just a couple weeks, done what big name stars Carmelo Anthony and Amar’e Stoudemire could not: make the Knicks matter. Indeed, by carving up defenses like Thanksgiving turkey, scoring with ridiculous ease and handing out assists in bunches, he’s made them one of the hottest teams in basketball.

Suddenly, he is world famous. Suddenly, people who, until recently, thought driving the lane was something you do on the freeway are following his feats with fascination. Part of the interest is due to the fact that he went from no-name to superstar almost literally overnight. Part of it is because he is conspicuously humble in a league where the players are more often conspicuously conspicuous. But the greater part — let’s be honest here — seems to stem from the simple fact that he is a Chinese-American.

Or, as black boxer Floyd Mayweather groused on Twitter, Lin is a great player, but black players do what he’s doing all the time. In other words, if he were black, he’d be just another Tom, Dick or Kobe. But of course, the point is precisely that he isn’t black and therefore, he isn’t what we expect.

It is always jolting when

It is always jolting when someone breaks out of the context to which you have subconsciously confined them …” someone breaks out of the context to which you have subconsciously confined them — like when you run into your teacher, at the mall with her kids. Similarly, when it comes to Asian guys, we expect that they will excel in engineering or chemistry. We emphatically do not expect them to break the defender’s ankles and take the rock to the rack with malice.

There is a word for expecting things from people based on the racial, religious, gender or cultural box you have put them into. The word is “stereotyping,” a form of mental laziness in which people believe they can know who and what you are simply by seeing you.

You should know all about that. After all, the stereotypes about you are manifold. You are supposedly given to in-

nate criminality, promiscuity, rhythm, athleticism and, more to the point of this column, stupidity, i.e., the inability to conquer chemistry, master math or otherwise do well in school.

As troubling as it is to know other people believe such things about you, it is infinitely more troubling to know you too often believe such things about yourself. It is difficult to escape that impression when one hears you using the Ku Klux Klan’s favorite racial epithet. Or defining yourselves as thugs. Or suggesting that speaking English is “acting white.” Indeed, one is reminded of the axiom that if you repeat a lie long enough, people will accept it as truth — even the people being lied about.

It takes a prodigious strength of mind and sense of self to resist that. How many times do you suppose Jeremy Lin had people tell him there was no way a Chinese guy could compete in a game dominated by African-Americans? Yet there he is, ballin’ at the highest level.

So, the most admirable thing about him is neither his scoring nor his assists, but, rather, the fact that he refused to allow other people to define him. He knew he was capable of things they’d never expect or believe. And guess what?

So are you.

NCI review We wish Kansas University Cancer Center officials well today as they meet with reviewers from the National Cancer Institute.

T

oday is a big day for the Kansas University Cancer Center.

A team of reviewers from the National Cancer Institute is scheduled to spend the day at the KU center, sizing it up for possible designation as an NCI cancer center.

KU leaders worked hard on the NCI application that was submitted in September and will be making every effort to put their best foot forward during the review team’s visit. Competition for the designation and the additional research funding it would bring to KU is intense.

Many cancer centers aren’t successful in their first attempt at NCI status, but KU and the rest of the state certainly have given top priority to the effort. State and private funding have helped the KU Cancer Center hire top scientists and doctors and form important partnerships to further their effort. Whether or not KU gains the NCI designation this year, the advances that have been made at the center will benefit people from across Kansas and beyond.

KU Cancer Center leaders are rightfully proud of what they’ve accomplished and are no doubt both eager and a little nervous about showcasing their accomplishments to the NCI team. We wish them well and hope the NCI reviewers are impressed with what they see during their KU visit.

Shoppers have no secrets Over the years I have written about the increasing penchant of both government and private corporations to gather and analyze data about individuals, often without individuals realizing the extent to which this occurs. Most folks don’t realize that their computers are littered with so-called “cookies” placed on them by websites they have visited. These cookies provide the websites with detailed information about the online activities of the computer owners. Similarly, online search engines like Google are constantly gathering information about us every time we use their search functions, information that enables Google to compile detailed portraits of our online buying and viewing habits.

But, for the most part, people, including myself, have felt relatively safe shopping at real, physical store locations under the apparently mistaken assumption that such stores do not gather information the way online sites do.

Now, the New York Times has let the cat out of the bag so far as retail informationgathering goes. In a recent article by Charles Duhigg, the Times has uncovered the fact that many stores, including national chains, do extensive information-gathering about customers and compile customer profiles about every customer and every purchase.

This Times article has created a minor avalanche of online blog discussions, all of which

Mike Hoeflich

“

From now on, I’m simply not going to shop at stores that maintain such data files …”

point out how very unsafe even in-store shopping can be for those of us who want to maintain our privacy.

The Times article describes one of the most “effective” information gathering and analysis programs operated by a national chain: Target. When I read this I was truly astounded. According to the Times article Target has perfected the process by which it gathers information about its patrons.

“Whenever possible, Target assigns each shopper a unique code — known internally as the Guest ID number — that keeps tabs on everything they buy. ‘If you use a credit card or a coupon, or fill out a survey, or mail in a refund, or call the customer help line, or open an email we’ve sent you or visit our website, we’ll record it and link it to your Guest ID,’ Pole said. ‘We want to know everything we can.’”

Perhaps, I’m just naïve, but,

I don’t want Target or anybody else operating on the assumption that it’s all right with me that they “want to know everything about me.” When I shop at a store, including Target, I’m paying for the goods they sell. I’m the customer.

They’re not doing me a favor.

I’m doing them a favor by patronizing them. I don’t need them to hire people specializing in “predictive analytics,” the term used to describe this invasive information-gathering and analysis technique. In fact, the last thing I want Target or any other store doing is keeping files on me.

As I said, I suppose I’ve been stupidly naïve by assuming that if I buy things in stores rather than online I have a better chance of preserving my privacy.

From now on, I’m simply not going to shop at stores that maintain such data files and I’m going to ask whether stores do so before I patronize them. Maybe this is just one more good reason to avoid national stores and to shop locally. I suppose I am assuming that locally owned stores don’t do what Target does. I hope that they don’t. But I will certainly ask from now on.

Any stores that have been doing this sort of thing can add that to my file — as the last entry — since I won’t be shopping there anymore.

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

To the editor: As a 22-year Lawrence police officer and a retired Kansas police chief, it’s difficult to read about police officers’ alleged misconduct, especially when the accused represent my former department. I have no information as to who the officers are or the details of any misdeeds, and I shouldn’t know. The rules on personnel matters do not change due to alleged police officer misconduct.

What I do know is that integrity and decency are the hallmarks of Chief Khatib and Manager Corliss. I’ve worked with both men. They are intimately familiar with the difficulties of leadership.

Both have now risen to the unenviable positions of balancing these complex criminal and personnel issues involving active duty police officers.

Khatib and Corliss know well their responsibilities to the Lawrence community. I have faith that when the time is right, they will give all the information they can to everyone who is an interested current or former resident of Lawrence.

As for me, I intend to support Lawrence’s elected and appointed leaders while giving them the breathing room they need to work through these complex issues.

Mike Hall, Chief of Police (Ret.) Laurel, Md.

Police questions To the editor: Sadly, the recent revelation of ticket-fixing by Lawrence police officers supports longstanding rumors of corruption within the department.

The city manager’s statement that this incident will cause only “momentary damage” to the credibility of the police department is astounding. Apparently, Mr. Corliss and other city leaders are choosing to simply disassociate themselves from the unconscionable acts of their employees in hopes that the matter will go away.

I believe that the public’s anger is justified. The message that this incident sends is that police officers in Lawrence have the “discretion” to accept bribes, and are allowed to give their friends and relatives breaks that the average citizen does not get. For city leaders to characterize such official misconduct as “professional courtesy” or simply a violation of the city’s “gratuity policy” is just plain offensive.

I have a number of questions. How do we know that ticket-fixing has not been a historic and standard practice within the LPD? How is it that this activity is not considered a crime? Do we know if officers were also taking cash? How long has this activity been going on?

How many officers were involved? How many tickets were dismissed?

The department’s continued lack of transparency gives taxpayers no reason to dismiss historic allegations.

The Lawrence Police Department and City Hall have a lot of explaining to do.

Laura Routh, Lawrence

One last shot

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS — Texas A&M assistant basketball coach Kyle Keller, who worked on Kansas University’s staff the past three seasons, has taken great pride in watching the Jayhawks from afar during the 2011-12 campaign.

“Gosh, as well as coach (Bill Self) has them playing, obviously it’s been fun to watch those guys get better.

LAWRENCE HIGH SENIORS CHRISTINA HASWOOD (42), BRI ANGLIN (55) AND MUTIYAT HAMEED (31) are looking forward to one last shot at crosstown rival Free State. LHS hosts FSHS in the City Showdown on Friday.

LHS senior leaders aim for strong finish vs. FSHS

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Bri Anglin, Christina Haswood and Mutiyat Hameed all were part of Lawrence High’s girls basketball program last year, but this season has brought them new challenges and responsibilities.

As juniors, both Haswood and Anglin were Lions role players, and Hameed was rarely called upon at the varsity level. As LHS coach Nick Wood put it, leadership wasn’t part of what they were asked to bring to the floor everyday.

Now that the trio makes up Lawrence’s small senior class, expectations have changed significantly. The varsity schedule can be a grind, and it has been up to the three seniors to guide a team that currently utilizes four juniors, two sophomores and two freshmen.

“They had to learn how to be vocal leaders and leaders by example,” Wood said. “A

COUNTDOWN TO THE SHOWDOWN Q Lawrence and Free State high schools will meet in the City Showdown on Friday at LHS. Every day this week, we’ll take a look at the players who will decide the outcome.

Q LHS and FSHS boys and girls took to the courts Tuesday. Stories on page 4B

lot of our girls needed to be able to look up to somebody who’s been through that battle before.”

Anglin said Wood, who first started coaching the Class of 2012 when they were sophomores, has helped shape them into leaders.

“The younger girls really look up to us,” the senior post player said, “and I know I looked up to the seniors when I was a sophomore.”

So when a young player is struggling with something at a practice or game, Hameed said it is up to one of the LHS seniors to step in and lead them in the right direction.

“The young ones, they don’t know,” Hameed said. “They haven’t been at this level before.”

One of the biggest challenges the Lions seniors have encountered is a pair of winless droughts. Twice this season, LHS (6-13) has suffered through five-game losing streaks. When the team has gone through those frustrating stretches, Wood said it is hard on players and coaches alike, because they put in a lot of work. Not seeing results for that work can suck the life out of a team.

“We need that senior presence in the locker room when things aren’t going well,” Wood said.

The urgency for winning will no doubt increase, with

just days left in the regular season. Haswood said it wasn’t until she, Anglin and Hameed were posing for some Senior Night photos that it hit her — their days competing at the high school level are numbered.

“It hasn’t been a reality until this week,” Haswood said.

“It just makes me sad.”

Nothing would make her and the rest of the Lions happier than to knock off Free State in their final home game, at 5:30 p.m. on Friday. That goes not only for the seniors, but also juniors Monica Howard, Anna Wright, Bri Anderson and Kylie Seaman, sophomores Kionna Coleman and Sami Buffalomeat and freshmen Marissa Pope and Jolana Shield.

The mere thought of an LHS upset against Free State brought a huge smile to Anglin’s face — “I would love to get that win,” she said.

Goodrich sets assists record in win at Tech J-W Staff Reports

LUBBOCK, TEXAS — Kansas University’s Angel Goodrich led the KU women’s basketball team to a road victory against Texas Tech Tuesday night, and the junior guard did it in record-breaking style.

Goodrich’s eight assists broke the KU single-season assist record, while her team-high 20 points pushed the Jayhawks past the Lady Raiders, 69-64.

The Jayhawks (18-9 overall, 7-8 Big 12), who Goodrich put a stop to a threegame losing streak, had not won in Lubbock since 1978. It also marks the first time since 2000 that KU has won at least seven Big 12 games.

BIG 12 BASKETBALL

Kansas State drops Mizzou, 78-68 COLUMBIA, MO. (AP) — Forget any talk of Kansas State as a team teetering on the NCAA Tournament bubble.

After yet another convincing win over a Top 20 team, the Wildcats’ bubble has burst — and coach Frank Martin couldn’t be happier.

Rodney McGruder scored 24 points as Kansas State upset No. 3 Missouri 78-68 Tuesday night, the Wildcats’ second win this season over the Tigers and their first at Mizzou Arena since 2007.

It’s also the second straight win over a Big 12 bruiser and national power, following a one-point weekend win over No. 13 Baylor in Waco, Texas.

“A week ago, I was trying to find a building that’s more than six stories height-wise so I could jump,” Martin joked after the game, though he wasn’t smiling. “And these guys, they gave me energy to come in and coach them in practice because they were so positive even though we had just lost two tough games at Texas and

Missouri trailed by four after two free throws by Michael Dixon with 2:21 left, but Jordan Henriquez answered with an alley-oop dunk following a Tiger timeout. The Wildcats extended the lead on two free throws by Henriquez.

Thomas Gipson added 13 points for Kansas State, which connected on 53.8 percent of its field goals.

The Wildcats were even better in the second half, converting 14 of 24 for 58.3 percent.

UT’s Barnes: Players not listening AUSTIN, TEXAS (AP) — Rick Barnes didn’t sound angry after his Texas Longhorns lost another close game.

He sounded resigned to accepting what he has on the court and to hoping his team is somehow good enough to take the program to the NCAA tournament for a 14th consecutive year. He didn’t mince words, saying his young team doesn’t listen to coaching, doesn’t understand game situations and hasn’t learned how to change those problems in order to win. “I would say the biggest problem with this group has been listening,� Barnes said after Texas blew a 12-point second-half lead

in a 77-72 loss to No. 13 Baylor on Monday night.

The loss was Texas’ eighth by six points or less this season and came on a night the Longhorns (17-11, 7-8 Big 12) appeared to be cruising to the sort of lateseason signature win they need to impress the tourney selection committee.

Freshman guard Myck Kabongo called it a “devastating� loss. Speaking with reporters a few minutes later, Barnes avoided dramatic language in a measured breakdown of why his team can’t put find the big wins that seem ripe for the taking. “If you ask me one word, it would be listening. And under-

standing situations; time, score fouls, all those type things,�

Barnes said.

Trailing by three in the final seconds, Texas had a chance to shoot for a tie, but J’Covan Brown threw a wild pass that was intercepted by Baylor’s A.J. Walton. Barnes could have called timeout to set up a play but decided against it because he figured it wouldn’t have made a difference. “I told the team, ‘I apologize, I should have called timeout,’�

Barnes said. “On the other hand, I said to them, ‘I’m not sure if it would have done any good because you don’t listen.’ And if we would have drawn up one play

and if they would have changed defenses or have done something different with no timeouts left, believe me, we would have been lost. So we thought in the flow of the game we would have a chance. We had a play on, we didn’t execute it.�

Barnes’ choice not to call a timeout and his postgame comments harken back to a 67-66 loss to Missouri. In that one, the Tigers switched defenses from man-to-man to zone on Texas’ final possession, a move that seemed to confuse the Longhorns players and forced Kabongo into a tough, last-second shot that barely got to the basket.

N. Dakota nickname controversy hurts school

Quinn apologizes for comments on Tebow

By Rachel Blount Minneapolis Star Tribune

The pained expression on his face betrayed Dave Hakstol’s emotions last week, when the North Dakota hockey coach reluctantly raised the white flag on his support for the Fighting Sioux nickname. Hakstol, fiercely proud of that name during his three years as a player and 12 seasons as a coach in Grand Forks, had concluded the cost of keeping it is simply too high.

He was just the latest North Dakota loyalist to voice that opinion. Football coach Chris Mussman, athletic director Brian Faison, Gov. Jack Dalrymple, the president of the alumni association and several former athletes also have gone on record opposing the endless efforts to cling to the nickname.

Still, the pro-Fighting Sioux forces rage on, even as their unwinnable cause wreaks havoc on an institution they claim to care about.

Their refusal to face reality has escalated from the embarrassing to the destructive, endangering the school’s ability to succeed in Division I sports and harming its national image.

If they truly treasured UND, they would recognize that no symbol — no matter how beloved — is worth this kind of blind allegiance.

That is why Hakstol, Faison and others have given up the fight. They understand the NCAA’s unwavering rejection of the nickname means it has to go if the athletic department is to remain viable. They also know that retiring it does nothing to diminish UND’s seven hockey championships, or the thrill of its football Saturdays, or its trove of Division II trophies. By refusing to sacrifice its future to an icon of its past, they have proved they genuinely have the school’s best interests at heart.

For that, they have been labeled cowards and appeasers by a pro-nickname crowd that has become increasingly irrational. An NCAA ban on Native American nicknames and images, enacted in 2005, mandated that UND drop the Fighting Sioux name unless it got permission from local tribes to keep it. The Standing Rock tribe has not acquiesced, so the school has been phasing out the nickname and logo.

Nickname supporters convinced the Legislature to pass a law last March requiring the school to keep the name. They naively thought that would make the NCAA back down.

When it didn’t, the Legislature repealed the law in November, wasting more of the public’s money and the lawmakers’ time on a frivolous issue.

Many in the state have grown tired of the impasse, and the university has already spent $750,000 to take the Sioux nickname and logo off of everything from team uniforms to its website.

DENVER — Brady Quinn is apologizing to Tim Tebow for unflattering comments Quinn made about the Denver Broncos’ starting quarterback in a GQ article.

The article on Tebowmania was written by Michael Silver and titled “The year of Magical Stinking: An Oral History of Tebow Time.�

In it, Quinn was quoted as saying, “We’ve had a lot of, I guess, luck, to put it simply.� He also said he felt the fans were the reason Tebow leapfrogged him on the depth chart when supplanting Kyle Orton as the starter after a 1-4 start. “I felt like the fans had a lot to do with that,� Quinn said in the article. “Just ’cause they were Tebow chanting his name. There was a big calling for him. No, I don’t have any billboards. That would have been nice.�

Quinn also said in the article that the way Tebow expresses his faith doesn’t “seem very humble to me.� Both men are Christians.

Quinn took to Twitter after the article’s release Tuesday, saying the comments attributed to him did not reflect his opinion of Tebow.

Tebow “deserves a lot of credit for our success and I’m happy for him and what he accomplished. Most importantly, he is a great teammate,� Quinn wrote.

Quinn said he’s reached out to Tebow directly “to clear this up,� adding, “I apologize to anyone who feels I was trying to take anything away from our team’s or Tim’s success this season.�

Quinn is an unrestricted free agent whom the Broncos are considering bringing back to Denver.

He was Orton’s primary backup when the season started but when Orton struggled, the Broncos’ brain trust wanted to see what they had in Tebow, a 2010 first-round draft pick who made more than $7 million last season, including a big bonus that was paid before the season.

Tebow won seven of his first eight starts and produced a series of stirring fourth-quarter comebacks that made up for his poor passing and messy mechanics.

With Tebow at quarterback, the Broncos reached the playoffs for the first time since 2005, and they won their first game, against Pittsburgh, when Tebow connected with Demaryius Thomas on an electrifying 80-yard touchdown pass on the first play of overtime.

After the Broncos lost at New England in the divisional round, football chief John Elway declared Tebow the starter heading into training camp this summer but stopped short of saying the third-year pro had won the job for opening day next season.

The Broncos haven’t ruled out bringing back Quinn, who didn’t take a single snap in his two seasons in Denver after being acquired from Cleveland in the trade for Peyton Hillis in 2010.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Fiesta Bowl exec pleads guilty PHOENIX — The Fiesta Bowl’s former top executive pleaded guilty Tuesday to a felony charge stemming from a political donations scandal that nearly jeopardized the bowl’s role as a regular host of college football’s national championship game.

John Junker entered the plea in Phoenix for

his role in soliciting political contributions from Fiesta Bowl employees, a development that will likely help federal and state investigations into the scheme.

A 276-page bowl investigation report found the “apparent scheme� to reimburse at least $46,539 for employees’ political contributions. It also reported lavish spending by Junker.

The bowl organization later reimbursed employees for the donations, which were made over a nine-year period.

NEW YORK — Mookie Wilson is staying with the New York Mets as an instructor and a team ambassador at sponsor and charity gatherings.

After firing him last fall for the second time, the Mets said Tuesday that Wilson will work for the organization as it celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. He will work in spring training with both major and minor leaguers, and he will visit farm teams during the season.

Rockies pitcher suspended NEW YORK — Colorado Rockies pitcher Joseph Torres has been suspended for 50 games under baseball’s minor league drug program for a positive test for an amphetamine.

Torres is a former first-round draft pick who is on the roster of Triple-A Colorado Springs. Major League Baseball said Tuesday that Torres will serve the suspension at the start of the season.

The Rockies issued a statement saying they were “very disappointed to learn that Joe Torres had been suspended after testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance. The Colorado Rockies have long been committed to eliminating the use of performance-enhancing substances from the game of baseball.�

Mayfield disputes charges CATAWBA, N.C. — Former race car driver Jeremy Mayfield says the new criminal charges against him are “baseless� and suggests he’s the target of a conspiracy involving NASCAR and law enforcement officials.

Indictments by a North Carolina grand jury released Monday charged Mayfield with three counts of possessing property stolen from businesses, and a fourth charge of obtaining property by false pretense.

The charges follow a November raid on Mayfield’s Catawba home after which the former NASCAR standout was charged with possessing 1.5 grams of methamphetamine.

We’re going to have to play one of the better games we’ve played all year. Absolutely to date it’s the biggest game we’ve played. A lot of people will talk about the second game of our week. To me, that’s not even worth mentioning because for us to have the aspirations we do to win the league, we need to take care of business in College Station.”

with KU in the preseason Big 12 coaches poll, have faced a lot of adversity in 2011-12.

In the preseason Kennedy was diagnosed with early stages of Parkinson’s disease. Junior forward Khris Middleton, who did not play against KU in the Aggies’ 64-54 loss to the Jayhawks on Jan. 23 in Allen Fieldhouse but will play tonight, had early-season knee surgery. Sophomore forward Kourtney Roberson suffered a broken ankle.

Freshman guard Jamal Branch transferred to St. John’s. What’s more, senior guard Dash Harris injured his arch in the KU game and just now is returning to action. Harris was listed as questionable on Tuesday afternoon.

“I love working for coach Kennedy.

You couldn’t ask for a better man. He’s a great coach,” Keller said of Kennedy, who came to A&M after five seasons as head coach at Murray State.

“Being reunited with (assistant) Glynn Cyprien, we worked at Oklahoma State when we had a lot of success. The administration has been great.

It’s been great here — 81 degrees in mid-January.

My family ... we love it.

The people have been so receptive and kind to us.

The season hasn’t gone the way we’d like it to go, but we’re excited about the opportunities we have (coming up),” Keller added.

TEXAS A&M’S KHRIS MIDDLETON DRIVES against Texas Tech’s Luke Adams on Feb. 14 in Lubbock, Texas. headed by top 100 prospects J’Mychal Reese and Alex Caruso.

Nobody’s giving up on the remainder of this season. A&M is 11-5 at home (3-4 in the league), including Saturday’s 71-62 loss to Missouri.

“I’m going to tell our guys today it’s an exciting time. You’ve got to enjoy playing two great teams back to back,” Kennedy said on Monday. “We competed well at Kansas.

They’ve been great on the road. It’s why they’ve been conference champs for several years. We’ll have to play really well to give us a chance, but we’ve been playing well at home.

“I have great respect for Kansas, the tradition of their program and what Bill has done there. Obviously I hired a guy from their program in Kyle Keller. This is a great opportunity for us to have a special moment, to get a

win. Of course we’ll have to play great basketball and them not so well. I thought Missouri played well against us. We have to get some breaks at some point.”

O Big game looms: Self realizes it’s possible the Jayhawks could be looking past tonight’s game in anticipation of Saturday’s home rematch against Missouri.

“I guess human nature you could do that,” said Self, who quickly warns that such a mindset could cost the Jayhawks an eighth-straight Big 12 title.

“If you work your tail off all year long to put yourself in a good position, how can you look past anybody when you see the light at the end of the tunnel, especially a team that was preseason pick to win the league, that’s playing well at home?

“Middleton (Khris, 6-7 junior, North Charleston,

O First meeting: Guard Elston Turner scored 24 points (7-18 shooting, 4-8 threes) with six rebounds, four assists in 39 minutes versus KU in the first game. Forward David Loubeau chipped in 15 points with seven boards.

Thomas Robinson scored 18 points with 10 boards and five turnovers and four blocks. Jeff Withey had 10 points with eight blocks and Tyshawn Taylor 17 points for KU. “We had all kinds of problems with them the first time, and Middleton didn’t play and Dash got hurt right before halftime,” Self said. “They are healthier than they have been all year.”

Noted KU senior guard Taylor: “They are a good defensive team (holding KU to 42.6 percent shooting first meeting; 4-20 from three). They always give us trouble when we play them. They muddy it up and sag in the paint.

They don’t let you get open shots. We have to work the ball and get it rotated a couple times before we attack.”

The Lady Raiders (1710, 5-10) came back to take the lead with 12:31 left in the second half, but freshman Natalie Knight (12 points, five rebounds) fired off two straight three-pointers to tie and overtake Tech with just under seven minutes to go. Goodrich’s recordbreaking eighth assist came on a Tania Jackson three-pointer that pushed KU’s advantage to 64-58 with 2:46 left. That assist gave Goodrich 208 career dimes — one better than former Jayhawk Lisa Braddy, who finished with 207 in the 1987-88 season.

Firebirds lose overtime battle, 49-47 BOX SCORE

By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

PRAIRIE VILLAGE — The Free State boys executed one unlikely basket with the time winding down and the game on the line Tuesday.

The Firebirds just couldn’t pull off the same feat twice.

Shawnee Mission East’s Andy Hiett hit two critical threes in the final 45 seconds of overtime, and Free State’s Brett Frantz missed a long desperation three at the buzzer as East held on for a 49-47 OT victory.

“That one hurts, but the kids had so much fight in them tonight,” Free State coach Chuck Law said.

“I’m really proud of that.”

The Firebirds executed at the perfect time to give themselves a chance at an extra period.

Trailing 49-47, Free State had the ball under its own basket with 2.1 seconds remaining.

Law sent Cole Moreano to check into the game for guard Tyler Self, but at the last second, decided instead to pull out Cameron Dabney.

It ended up working out well.

After studying East’s defense, Self believed he

FREE STATE’S GABE PATTERSON DRIVES but is called for a charge against Shawnee Mission East Tuesday in Prairie Village. Free State lost in overtime 49-47. could free himself if he was able to get a backscreen from Moreano.

The two communicated with each other on the court, while Law yelled out some fake play numbers to try to confuse East.

It also confused Frantz, who didn’t understand which inbounds play his team was running.

“Luckily I was looking over there,” Frantz said, “so I could throw it to him.”

Self cut from the left corner straight to the middle of the lane, with Moreano’s screen sealing off Self’s defender completely.

Frantz dropped it to Self, who rolled in a layup while also drawing a foul on East’s Hiett.

With 0.8 seconds left, the game was tied at 49.

East took a timeout, and during the stoppage, the East students — along with the cheerleaders —

moved themselves to the bleachers behind the basket to try to distract Self.

With a couple hundred students yelling, waving and screaming, the senior bounced his free throw off the back iron to send the game to overtime.

“I don’t really think so much the students behind the goal affected me,” Self said. “I probably just let the pressure get to me a little bit.”

Free State still had a chance to win in overtime before Hiett took over.

The Firebirds’ 1-3-1 defense had worked most of the night because of the Lancers’ hesitation to shoot outside shots.

That changed in the fi-

nal minute of overtime.

With Free State leading 45-43 and 45 seconds left, East screened the backside of Free State’s zone to open up a three for Hiett.

The 5-foot-10 senior — who was 1-for-6 from the floor and 0-for-2 from three up to that point — swished the shot from the left wing.

“We did our defense how we wanted to,” Frantz said, “and they just hit shots.”

Shawn Knighton put FSHS back in the lead, 47-46, with a pair of free throws with 25.7 seconds left, but Hiett answered.

The senior buried a three from the right wing over Free State’s zone with 8 seconds left to give East the lead for good. “(Our guys) did what they were asked to do,” Law said, “and that kid made a play.”

Following a timeout, Free State couldn’t pull off any more magic with 4.2 seconds left and the ball at half-court.

Self bobbled the inbounds pass, then tossed to Frantz for a desperation heave from near mid-court. The shot hit the wires above the backboard, and East students poured onto the court to celebrate the victory.

Free State actually fell behind 10-2 in the first quarter before its zone defenses started to frustrate East.

The Firebirds built their lead up to 37-29 with 7:12 left in the fourth quarter before going scoreless over the next seven minutes.

In that time, East used a 12-0 run to take a 41-37 lead.

“We didn’t execute great in the half-court offensively,” Law said. “You could tell they knew what our sets were and blew those up most of the time.”

Frantz put in a layup with 10.5 seconds left before an East turnover gave it back to Free State, setting up Self’s game-tying shot.

The senior Frantz led Free State with 18 points.

He posted 13 after halftime with help from 3-for3 three-point shooting in the third quarter.

Gabe Patterson added nine points, while Self had seven.

Free State had previously played Shawnee Mission East on Jan. 21, losing 65-51 in the McPherson Invitational.

“We had a chance to win, and Hiett made two great shots,” Law said.

“Kudos to him for stepping up as a senior.”

Lawrence High girls lose sixth in a row, 48-40

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

OVERLAND PARK — In desperate need of a victory and holding a two-possession lead at halftime on Tuesday, Lawrence High girls basketball coach Nick Wood advised his Lions that someone would have to impose her will in the coming minutes to get a win.

As it turned out, Shawnee Mission North made the plays necessary to outwill visiting LHS in a 4840 defeat that extended Lawrence’s losing streak to six games.

Wood said LHS (6-13), which led by as many as eight points in the third quarter, matched the Indians (7-11) somewhat, but it was ultimately SMN that made more winning plays.

In the third, it actually seemed like Lawrence might break out of its slump. Leading by five at the half, the Lions extended that margin to eight after a 15-foot jumper from sophomore Kionna Coleman and a three-pointer by junior Anna Wright.

“We were in complete control of the game,”

Wood, too, acknowledged a Lawrence victory in the City Showdown would mean “everything” to the team. The whole season would seem like a success for the Lions if they were able to pull it off.

“Finding a way to do

Wood said of that juncture, when LHS led 29-21.

But then SMN secured an offensive rebound and got a three-point play with a foul and free throw by Whitney Harvey. It was a sign of things to come and a turning point in the game.

“They did a better job than we did of winning those loose balls, getting those offensive rebounds and extra possessions,” Wood said.

Though junior forward Bri Anderson would score on a drive with just more than four minutes left in the third to give LHS a 31-

24 lead, what followed was a stretch of the Indians making plays on both ends of the floor and the Lions struggling on offense.

In the final 12 minutes of the game, Lawrence made just three field goals — one on an up-and-under move by junior Monica Howard with more than a minute left in the third, another on a Wright jumper off a Christina Haswood pass a minute and a half into the fourth, and a third on a Howard three-pointer from the top of the key with 1:28 left to play.

Howard’s three cut the Indians’ lead to 43-39, and a free throw by Coleman at the 1:07 mark made it a three-point game.

However, Lions droughts kept them out of reach of SMN, which outscored the visitors 24-9 after Anderson’s thirdquarter lay-in.

“That’s why it’s so important for us to get stops and not give teams extra possessions,” Wood said, “because we do struggle to score at times.”

At 5:30 p.m. Friday, Lawrence plays host to Free State for the City Showdown.

that is going to be a difficult thing,” Wood said, “because obviously they’re extremely talented.”

The LHS coach said his team will have to do a great job on Free State’s shooters, not allowing anyone to get hot, and keep the Firebirds out of transition.

But that’s just half of the equation.

“Offensively, we have to find a way to score,” Wood said, “and

when we get good scoring opportunities, take advantage of them and finish them.”

Haswood said the Lions are looking forward to facing their rivals again, after losing 64-47 at FSHS on Dec. 16.

“Emotions are gonna be so high. You definitely don’t need motivation,” Haswood said. “It’s the best Senior Night game you can play.”

PRAIRIE VILLAGE — During a second-quarter timeout, Free State coach Bryan Duncan gave guard Jackie Garcia one objective: Shut down Shawnee Mission East’s Caroline Nick.

The senior ended up performing her role brilliantly, as Garcia’s defensive play helped Free State to a 60-51 victory over Shawnee Mission East.

“It was definitely an honor that they trusted me to guard her,” Garcia said.

“I was just big on sticking to her and not letting her shoot at all.”

Before the defensive switch, Nick — an Emporia State signee — had scored 16 points in 11 minutes on 6-for-7 shooting. That included perfect 3-for-3 accuracy from three-point range.

Following the timeout, Nick made just one of her next nine shots, as Garcia face-guarded her and fought through screens to

“She rose up to that challenge,” Duncan said, “and I thought did a really great job on her.”

The 5-foot-8 Nick finished with 24 points on 9-for-18 shooting. Eight of those nine field goals were scored on defenders other than Garcia.

“She really worked hard, and obviously it showed in the stats,” Free

State guard Chelsea Casady said of Garcia. “I think her energy shut them down, because (Nick) was one of their best players.”

Offensively, Casady was the biggest contributor, tying a career-high with 18 points on 6-for-7 shooting. The junior also had Free State’s first seven points.

“I think the only person that could stop her throughout most of the game was me,” Duncan said, “because I had her on the bench a little too long in the first half.”

Free State had a 10-point fourth-quarter lead sliced in half before a layup from Lynn Robinson helped put the contest out of reach with 26 seconds left.

The senior Robinson contributed 15 points on 6-for-11 shooting while also shutting down East point guard Shannon McGinley, who finished with nine points on 3-for-14 shooting.

Kennedy Kirkpatrick added 15 points for the Firebirds (14-5).

Lions share the ball, win 60-50

OVERLAND PARK — With heavy doses of driving and dishing, Lawrence High’s boys basketball team showed just how deadly it can be on offense Tuesday night at Shawnee Mission North.

The Lions had one of those infectious everybody-makes-the-extrapass kind of games, setting the table for a 60-50 road victory.

Each of Lawrence’s top six players scored at least eight points, led by senior Logan Henrichs’ 15, and their four starting perimeter players — Henrichs, KJ Pritchard, Shane Willoughby and Anthony Buffalomeat — combined for 16 assists.

It was Pritchard, often times this season a more assertive shooter, who did the bulk of the distributing for LHS (12-7). He made a habit of driving to the paint with the intent to kick the ball out to open shooters and, in doing so, racked up eight assists.

Pritchard made the Indians (4-15) pay for leaving his teammates open, and the senior, who also scored eight points, said he was happy to get them involved.

LHS (60) KJ Pritchard 3-5 2-3 8, Shane Willoughby 4-6 0-0 10, Anthony Buffalomeat 2-4 3-4 8, Logan Henrichs 4-8 4-4 15, Bryce Montes de Oca 4-7 0-0 8, Jake Mosiman 5-14 0-0 11, Tyrone Jenkins 0-0 0-0 0, Troy Willoughby 0-0 0-0 0. Totals 22-44 9-11 60.

LAWRENCE HIGH’S LOGAN HENRICHS FINISHES AT THE RIM during the Lions’ game against Shawnee Mission North Tuesday in Overland Park.

“If that’s the role I have to take for us to be successful,” Pritchard said, “then that’s what I’m going to do.”

Lawrence coach Mike Lewis, who saw Jake Mosiman score 11 points off the bench to complement the outputs of Henrichs, Pritchard, Willoughby (10), Buffalomeat (eight) and Bryce Montes de Oca (eight), enjoyed the way the Lions executed in the half-court on a night they went 22-for-44 as a team.

The Indians held a slim

31-30 advantage early in the third quarter before the Lions’ passing sparked a run.

Pritchard set up Henrichs for two three-pointers in a row before hitting Mosiman for a jumper on an inbounds play. Later, Henrichs fed Montes de Oca in the paint for a bucket and Buffalomeat connected with Henrichs for his third three-point bomb of the quarter.

North got within five points of LHS in the fourth, but with a layup by Montes de Oca and a drive

by Willoughby, the Lions’ lead moved to nine with six minutes to play.

At 7 p.m. Friday, Lawrence High plays host to Free State for the City Showdown.

Seton Hall 73, No. 9 Georgetown 55 NEWARK, N.J. — Jordan Theodore scored a career-high 29 points to lead Seton Hall to the signature win it needed for its NCAA tournament resume, a victory over Georgetown on Tuesday night.

The Pirates (19-9, 8-8 Big East) put on quite a shooting performance against one of the conference’s best defensive teams. They shot 61.0 percent (25 for 41), the best against the Hoyas this season and only the third time any team shot 50 percent or better. Georgetown (20-6, 10-5) came in allowing 38.4 percent shooting this season.

Theodore made all five of his three-point attempts to lead Seton Hall, which finished 8 of 13 (61.5 percent), and that came against a team that was allowing 27.6 percent from beyond the arc this season. The previous best effort from three-point range against Georgetown was 44.4 percent by Marquette, the only time any team shot better than 40 percent.

The Pirates, whose best win this season was over Connecticut on Jan. 3, have two games remaining — Rutgers and DePaul — to solidify what would be their first NCAA tournament bid since 2006.

Theodore, who has talked about making the tournament for the first time since the preseason, and fellow senior Herb Pope dominated the run that gave the Pirates a 5840 lead with 7:53 to play.

They combined to score 10 of the Pirates’ 12 points in the run that gave them the 18-point lead.

Fuquan Edwin and Brandon Mobley both had 10 points for Seton Hall, which led by as many as 22 points late in the game.

Theodore hit a threepointer and made two free throws in the final 1:20 of the first half as the Pirates took a 35-28 lead.

The Wildcats (27-1, 13-0 Southeastern Conference) trailed 41-28 at halftime, but slowly climbed back to take their first lead at 63-62 with 4:11 remaining on a layup by Kidd-Gilchrist. They never trailed again, winning their 19th straight game.

No. 7 North Carolina 86, N.C. State 74 RALEIGH, N.C. — Kendall Marshall had a career-high 22 points and 13 assists to help North Carolina beat North Carolina State.

Harrison Barnes added 20 points for the Tar Heels (24-4, 11-2 Atlantic Coast Conference), who extended their domination of their nearby rivals.

North Carolina has won 12 straight meetings and hasn’t lost to the Wolfpack (18-10, 7-6) in five years.

The Tar Heels shot 51 percent, including 10 for 19 from three-point range.

And Marshall was a big reason for that success, whether he was knocking down outside shots against sagging defenders or finding teammates for baskets.

Burke scored 19 to lead the Wolverines (21-7, 114), who made 14 threepointers and kept their Big Ten title hopes alive with a hard-earned road victory.

Northwestern (16-11, 6-9), whose chances of getting to the NCAA tournament for the first time in school history were dealt another blow, got 14 points from John Shurna, six below his Big Ten leading average.

Shurna became the school’s career scoring leader on Saturday, but he managed only four sec-

Baylor clinches Big 12 crown The Associated Press

No. 1 Baylor 80, Texas 59 WACO, TEXAS — Brittney Griner had 18 points with 10 rebounds, and topranked Baylor claimed the outright Big 12 title with an 80-59 victory over Texas on Tuesday night.

Griner’s 40th career double-double came in her 100th game at Baylor.

After a pregame ceremony when the 6-foot-8 junior phenom was recognized for becoming Baylor’s fourth 2,000-point career scorer earlier this season, Griner put the Lady Bears ahead to stay with layup only 31 seconds into the game.

The Lady Bears (28-0, 15-0 Big 12) had clinched a share of the title with a win over Texas Tech on Saturday night, when they cut down the nets and got

championship T-shirts in a full-scale celebration for their second consecutive Big 12 regular season title, and third overall.

After beating Texas (1512, 5-10) to ensure they wouldn’t have to share the title, the reaction was much more subdued.

Baylor players had the customary postgame handshake with the opposing team, and then stood in front of the band for the usual playing of the alma mater. They slapped hands with a few fans lining the edge of the court, but nothing like the raucous celebration three nights earlier.

The Ferrell Center went silent with 16 seconds left when Shanay Washington crumbled to the floor grabbing the bulky brace protecting her surgically repaired left knee.

Washington, who re-

turned only a month ago after playing only five games last season, could be heard crying as trainers tended to her. She remained down for several minutes before getting up and walking gingerly off the court.

Kimetria Hayden had 17 points in 21 minutes for the Lady Bears, and Brooklyn Pope had 13 points.

No. 12 Florida 63, Auburn 47 GAINESVILLE, FLA. — Kenny Boynton was part of a hot shooting night for Florida, scoring 20 points as the Gators overcome 18 turnovers and beat Auburn.

Boynton made 7 of 11 shots from the field, including 6 of 9 from threepoint range.

Florida (22-6, 10-3 Southeastern Conference) had 15 turnovers in the first 27 minutes, an errorfilled start that had coach Billy Donovan seething and the Tigers (14-13, 4-9) leading.

The Gators eventually settled down and used a 26-4 run to turn a onepoint deficit into a doubledigit lead.

KSU CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

The K-State loss was Missouri’s first home defeat of the season and just the fourth career loss at Mizzou Arena for the Tigers’ five-man senior class. It also kept Missouri from standing alone with the best start in school history. Missouri started 25-2 in 1990 and 1994.

“We had a lot of confidence,” McGruder said.

“And we felt like, ‘Why not come in here and get a victory?’”

Kansas State had already throttled Missouri 75-59 in Manhattan in early January, one of the few blemishes on an otherwise charmed season for Missouri and first-year coach Frank Haith. And while Tuesday night’s game remained in doubt until late, the Wildcats and Martin again relied on physical defense and a deeper roster to prevail.

The Tigers travel to No. 4 Kansas on Saturday in what could be the final regular season matchup in the historic rivalry.

With the K-State loss, Missouri trails the Jayhawks by a half-game in the conference.

Seabury falls in OT J-W Staff Reports

LENEXA — Bishop Seabury lost in overtime at St. James, 64-61, on an emotional night for the home team.

St. James sophomore Connor McCullough, a former player, died over the weekend after a battle with brain cancer, and the St. James community filled the gymnasium to support the McCullough family and the team days after their tragic loss.

“It was a really emotional game,” said Seabury coach Ashley Battles. “An extremely emotional night over there. The whole student body and everyone involved with St. James Academy was there and

supporting them to the fullest. We had guys on our team that knew the kid, too.

“It was a game you hate to lose, but at the end of the night, you’re happy for the family.”

The final outcome of the game went down to the wire in regulation, and in overtime.

Seabury had the last possession of regulation, ran a set play against the St. James zone defense, but was only able to get off a 23-foot three-point shot. The score was tied 55-55 at the end of regulation.

Seabury trailed throughout overtime, but had a chance to tie the game in the final 30 seconds.

“They missed a free throw, and down three, we pushed the ball even though we had plenty of timeouts, but I let them push it up and take a transition three on their own,” said Battles. “I had a really bad, bad night on my part.”

Maximize nutrition, energy by avoiding empty calories Q:

I’m starting to hear people talk about SoFAS? What are they?

Cooking Q&A

A:

We’re not talking about that piece of furniture that is commonly associated with couch potatoes — although, those couch potatoes may be eating too many SoFAS. The 2010 Dietary Guidelines replaced the “discretionary calories allowance” with a limit on calories from Solid Fats and Added Sugars (SoFAS). These are now called “empty calories” in many consumer materials.

Interestingly, five categories of foods contribute nearly 30 percent of the total calories consumed in the American diet. These five categories — grainbased desserts (e.g., cakes, cookies, doughnuts, pies, crisps, cobblers and granola bars); yeast breads; chicken and chickenmixed dishes; sodas, energy, and sports drinks; and pizza — are often consumed in forms high in SoFAS and should be replaced with other foods

that are more nutrientdense or prepared in a way that reduces of content of SoFAS. Solid fats are fats that are solid at room temperature.

Solid fats come from many animal foods and can be made from vegetable oils through hydrogenation.

Some common solid fats are butter, beef tallow (tallow, suet), chicken fat, pork fat (lard), stick margarine and shortening. Foods high in solid fats include many cheeses, creams, ice cream, well-marbled cuts of meats, regular ground beef, bacon, sausages, poultry skin and many baked goods, such as cookies, crackers, doughnuts, pastries, and crois-

sants. More solid fats are high in saturated fats and/ or trans fats and have less monounsaturated or polyunsaturated fats. Animal products containing solid fats also contain cholesterol.

Added sugars are sugars and syrups that are added to foods or beverages during processing or preparation. They do not include naturally occurring sugars such as those in milk and fruits. Names for added sugars include brown sugar, corn sweeteners, corn syrup, dextrose, fructose, fruit juice concentrates, glucose, high-fructose corn syrup, honey, invert sugar, lactose, maltose, malt syrup, molasses, raw sugar, and sucrose.

Together, solid fats and added sugars (SoFAS) contribute greatly to overall energy intake without contributing importantly to nutrient intakes. The major food sources of solid fats in American diets for those ages 2 and older include grain-based desserts, regular-fat cheese, sausage, hot dogs, ribs, bacon, pizza, fried white potatoes (main-

The top sources of added sugars include sodas, grain-based desserts, sugar-sweetened fruit drinks, dairy-based desserts, candy, ready-to-eat cereals, sugars/honey, tea, syrups and toppings, and yeast breads.

Stealing the show ————

Film-inspired fare will be stars of Oscar party The Associated Press

Great movies and great food are box office gold, from Forrest Gump’s chocolates to “Silence of the Lambs” anti-hero Hannibal Lecter’s disturbing pairing suggestion for Chianti.

We’ve put together a selection of drinks and

appetizers inspired by five Best Picture Oscar winners to help you get your Academy Awards viewing party rolling.

So get ready to settle in with a beverage and a bite when Hollywood celebrates itself on Sunday. You’ve got all the bases covered — lights, camera, (snack) satisfaction.

Scarlett fever: ‘Gone with the Wind’ A starving Scarlett O’Hara resorts to grubbing up radishes in the famous “I’ll never be hungry again” scene that ends the first half of “Gone With The Wind.” Luckily, you can try something much tastier with this crimson cocktail featuring cranberry and cherry juice.

Serve some manchego cheese toasts on the side for an elegant nibble. This appetizer uses banana bread, a food that came into vogue in the 1930s as baking powder and baking soda became staples of the American kitchen. It’s not likely you’ll have leftovers, but if you do, fiddle-dee-dee! Tomorrow is another day.

The Scarlet Cocktail Matthew Mead/AP Photos

A “CORLEONE COCKTAIL,” featuring Italian liqueur with a touch of orange, and an “Angry Meatballs” dish are part of a selection of drinks and appetizers — inspired

by Oscar winners including “The Godfather,” “Silence of the Lambs,” and “Casablanca” — that might make a good starting point for your viewing party of this year’s Academy Awards ceremony on Sunday.

An hors d’oeuvre they can’t refuse: ‘The Godfather’ “The Godfather” is a sweeping saga of crime, punishment and the complexity of family ties. But it has its foodie side, too.

There’s the ominous orange — when one of these appears in the movie expect trouble. There’s the scene where Clemenza teaches Michael Corleone how to make gravy (spaghetti sauce) because “you never know, you might have to cook for 20 guys someday.” And was there ever sager culinary counsel than this? “Leave the gun; take the cannoli.”

Here’s a cocktail featuring Italian liqueur with a touch of orange to keep things interesting and some meatballs to go with your gravy.

... the sodium is 633 (milligrams) and that’s just in the chicken nuggets,” she says, of the district’s most popular dish. “That does not count the sauce, any of the sides. We usually offer a roll with it, mashed potatoes and gravy, usually it’s green beans. That’s almost half your sodium content in the main dish.

In 10 years, chicken nuggets is all you get.”

She says because of the changes, the vendors the school districts use are just going to have find viable alternatives, and administrators worry, “is this going to taste like cardboard?”

Flakus says making things from scratch, like Martin’s students, is a great solution, but one that poses challenges all its own.

“We actually have quite a few more homemadefrom-scratch items than in the past,” Flakus says, naming pizza, stromboli, spaghetti and sub sandwiches as items district kitchen staff will make in-house.

“Eventually, it’s all going to go to that.

Now, we have to add more money into our labor because it’s going to be more labor-intensive, so that’s going to play a big role.”

More labor means more labor costs, plus more expense in the food quotient because fresh products cost more. So do more nutritious products — Morgan says the Lawrence schools spend an extra $15,000 per year just to have whole-grain bread products.

The schools have taken other steps, too, to make meals healthier. Morgan says Lawrence schools haven’t had fryers in years and Flakus says Eudora removed them this year.

All the schools in Lawrence have salad bars, and schools in both districts have school gardens that are used to get fresh, cheap produce into their cafeterias. Lawrence has even set up a new program to make connections in the local farm community; Schwegler School is part of a farm-to-school pilot program that not only provides food, but also considers policies and procedures for food safety.

“This year, they’ve purchased sweet potatoes from The Merc and butternut squash from (a local) farm,” Morgan says.

don’t cost a single point.

Twelve points might be a little more than I normally want to spend on dinner, but our Sunday night dinner is an important tradition in our house, so I adjusted my other meals for the day in order to accommodate it.

To begin, I heated a tablespoon of olive oil in the bottom of a stock pot. I don’t have a proper dutch oven, but this is where a good Le Creuset would come in handy. Did you all hear that? I don’t have a dutch oven. Just sayin’.

I’m sure my life would be perfect if someone got me a sky blue Le Creuset dutch oven. But no pressure.

Anyway, when the oil was good and hot, I slapped the (already salted and peppered) roast beef into the hot oil, turned on the vent fan, and waited. You want a good, dark crust on both sides, and that can take several minutes per side.

I even stood it up on its ends to get the sides seared.

While the meat was searing, I put together a braising liquid.

“

We actually have quite a few more homemade-fromscratch items than in the past. Eventually, it’s all going to go to that.”

— Sharla Flakus, food service director for Eudora schools, on changes ordered by the USDA “We did it specifically so we could have rules and regulations. We wanted to do more local and we wanted to see what that would look like for the school district.”

So far, district participation is small, but Morgan is looking forward to seeing the program grow.

Budgeting for better The resounding thought from the kids, the school employees and the food advocates? The schools do the best they can with the funding they have to work with. And everyone wishes more could be done.

“We’re fortunate in Lawrence to have an amazing kitchen staff at our schools and they are completely capable of producing incredible food for our students,” says Linda Cottin, a local food advocate who has worked with Martin and others on farm-to-school projects.

“Unfortunately the budgetary constraints make that impossible for them to do on a day-to-day basis.”

“The funding for school lunches is obviously way below what it needs to be,” Cottin says.

Martin echoes her concern and support for the Eudora schools.

“I so respect what Sharla and her staff do here for our kids,” says Martin, who knows that budget concerns make for a difficult puzzle for administrators like Flakus.

In fact, Cottin says that the more the community supports Flakus, Morgan, their staffs and programs, the better chance there is to get even better foods into schools.

More participation from the students equals more dollars for the programs and thus more chance to have better food choices than what the kids already have.

“The more students that are eating the food, the bigger the budget would be to purchase the food, and the better availability the schools would have to serve the foods we would like to see,” Cottin says.

2 teaspoons Worcestershire pinch of salt and cracked black pepper Then I put the meat into the braising liquid, added several cups of baby carrots, half a roughly chopped red onion, and four potatoes, peeled and quartered.

Cook in the oven for three hours at 275 degrees.

Cooking the potatoes in the braising liquid will give them an amazing flavor and negate the need to doctor them up with butter or sour cream or cheese. The carrots are filling and the meat is tender, and no one would ever believe you were dieting or that it was a “lazy cook” dinner that took about 15 minutes to put together and resulted in only one pan to wash.

Mr. Meat and Potatoes is loving. This. Diet.

I have a nifty steamer basket that loads into the stock pot I used for this meal, so about 15 minutes before we were ready to eat, I loaded some spears of broccoli into it, above the braising beef and veggies, to steam — just because I can eat as many vegetables as I want, so in the absence of bread or dessert, I wanted a little something extra on my plate. They took on lovely flavor and were a welcome addition of green to our dinner plates.

Guinness turns roast into pot full of awesome

M

y husband thought, when I started Weight Watchers, that it was going to screw up his world. He quietly resigned himself to a life of salads and secret frozen pizza eating. But, lucky for him, I hate salad. Also lucky for him, I’ve discovered that one of the secrets to Weight Watchers success is having the right foods on hand all the time so that if I need a snack I don’t reach for a bag of chips, and instead nosh on some leftover chicken and vegetables.

To that end, I’ve been cooking — a lot.

If you want to eat delicious food that is also good for you, you have to plan and prep a little. It’s easy to throw a frozen pizza in the oven in a pinch, but not so easy to quickly produce a desirable meal that fits within my daily point allotment. So, to Mr. Meat and Potatoes’ happy surprise, I’ve been keeping the fridge full of delicious foods that just happen to be good for me.

I’ve been cooking a lot of our standby items, just lightening them up a little and controlling my portions.

We’ve had pork tacos, enchilada casserole, steaks, spaghetti and meatballs, just to name a few. I’ve just managed to take calories and fat out of the recipes, and learned how much is an OK serving. Like, I can’t eat a steak as big as my face anymore. I can have a baked potato, but it can’t be as big as a football. Seriously, you’d think this is rocket science, people, for how long it took me to get on board.

For Sunday night dinner — the favorite dinner of the week around here — I wanted something that didn’t require much effort on my part. I didn’t want to spend my Sunday evening cooking and cleaning. I settled on roast beef and potatoes.

Doesn’t sound very diet-y, does it? Surprisingly enough, it’s not bad.

I bought a good roast beef without a lot of fat, and cooked carrots and potatoes and onions with it in the braising liquid. There is no butter in this meal. There’s no cheese, no sour cream, no added fat at all, except a little healthy oil for searing the meat — which Weight Watchers encourages. So there!

This is comfort food that isn’t fussy or messy. It’s a one pot meal. And, a 5 ounce portion of meat and a cup of potatoes is a 12 point dinner. Eat all the carrots and onions you want. They Please see FORK, page 9B

Those are all entrees that Sharla Flakus, food service director for Eudora schools, must plug into a computer each week while compiling her menus.

Over the course of a given week, Flakus and her counterpart at the Lawrence school district, supervisor of foods service/registered dietitian Lindsey Morgan, must even out every entree and side combination so that the proper USDA guidelines are met for each grade level. Next year, the guidelines are changing and becoming stiffer, and they come with an entirely new system for Flakus and Morgan to learn.

Using this new set of guidelines, we gave five Eudora High students and their culinary arts instructor, Chef Rick Martin, a challenge: If school lunch were to be made at home, using whole, unprocessed ingredients, what would it look like?

Martin allowed the students — sophomores Kaylyne Perkins, Alexandra Bock and Claudia Moody, and juniors Michael Eaton and Colton Scott — to

task for food service officials.

Flakus says that among the guidelines she must follow, the most difficult ones are for fat and sodium — and those two measures are about to become more strict in the coming years. For example, right now, the guideline for sodium is that it must be under 1,500 milligrams per day, but that number will go down a bit each year.

Ten years from now, it will be only 700 milligrams per day. Flakus says that with the curTHE CULINARY ARTS STUDENTS HAD AN ASSIGNMENT to create a healthy rent processed food she school cafeteria lunch.

PUBLIC NOTICE CONTINUED ON 8 Baldwin

Dear Annie: My husband and I were both widowed before meeting.

We are now 70 and have been happily married for six years. We both have grown children.

Everything is good in our blended family except for my son’s wife.

“Stacy” has been a thorn in my side from the day they married 20 years ago. My former husband and I always managed to keep her quick temper under control. But since he died and I remarried, she’s gone completely overboard. She has stopped my son from having any contact with our family, including his brothers and me.

Stacy has been unable to hold down a job because she can’t get along with others. She’s judgmental, critical and short-tempered. She is often jealous and has many unresolved issues from her childhood.

She is keeping us away from her family, and none

Annie’s Mailbox

of us has seen my grandsons in three years. She says we aren’t trustworthy, but that isn’t true. We are not deceitful in any way, and our word is good.

The rest of the family continues to get together without my son and daughter-in-law, but we miss them very much.

Our blended family is kind and loving toward one another. But those two grandsons don’t know us, and it looks like that won’t change anytime soon. My son is overwhelmed with Stacy’s control issues, so

‘Nature’ lives large with ‘Giants’ “Nature” (7 p.m., PBS, check local listings) puts on a really big show, devoting three hours to the life, death and procreation of the planet’s most enormous creatures. “Ocean Giants” literally spans the globe, traveling from the Arctic to the Amazon to capture whales at their most amorous, murderous and mysterious.

Caution: The first hour of “Giant Lives” includes some frank depictions of whale intimacy.

After an hour of whale love and death, “Nature” proceeds to “Deep Thinkers,” a look at the cognitive and even emotional lives of whales and dolphins, mammals with rather large brains. “Nature” concludes with “Voices of the Sea,” an exploration of our dim understanding of undersea mammal communication. Humpback whales not only sing but also travel and gather to form “choruses.” Other whales hunt and travel in groups using complex clicks and sounds that may represent a code-like language. We don’t know what they’re saying, but this threehour “Nature” will give us plenty to think and talk about.

“American Weed” (9 p.m., National Geographic) follows marijuana cultivators in Colorado, where it is legal to grow and reap profits from harvesting medicinal cannabis. Following on the heels of Discovery’s “Weed Wars,” this marks a cable trend of sorts, perhaps one to spark more conversation and legislation about national marijuana policy.

A painter puts her career on hold to raise her mentally impaired sister in the 2011 documentary “Raising Renee” (7 p.m., HBO2).

Tonight’s other highlights

An overheard conversation rattles Phil on “Modern Family” (8 p.m., ABC).

“Ghost Hunters International” (8 p.m., Syfy) opens a new season in Peru.

A house vanishes on “CSI” (9 p.m., CBS).

Classifieds can be murder on “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” (9 p.m., NBC).

“20/20” (9 p.m., ABC) offers “Before They Were Famous” glances at Oscar hopefuls. This is news?

Jack’s (Tom Cavanagh) illness puts Hank to the test on the season finale of “Royal Pains” (9 p.m., USA).

Actress Drew Barrymore is 37.

he just goes along with whatever she wants.

Cards, letters, phone calls and emails go unanswered. Do you have any suggestions? —Grandma with a Broken Heart Dear Grandma: We are so sorry that your son and his wife have chosen to exclude themselves from a loving family. Without your son’s insistence, it is unlikely Stacy will come around.

We understand that he is reluctant to rock the boat and possibly damage his marriage, but he shouldn’t be isolated from his family in order to placate his wife. It is a form of emotional abuse.

Please continue to send cards, letters and emails without expecting replies. You never know what gets through.

Depending on your state, you also could sue for visitation privileges if you so choose. A lawyer with expertise in grandparents’ rights can help you.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Wednesday, Feb. 22, 2012: This year you demonstrate the ability to get along with people who wield power. Your creativity and charisma draw people toward you. Many act differently with you than they do with others. If you are single, you will have to sort through quite a few admirers. If you are attached, remember that this bond consists of two people. Note a tendency to be me-oriented.

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) You follow through on your instincts with someone you look up to. Communicate what you feel is necessary. Tonight: Vanish while you can.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You know exactly what you want and where you are going.

You also easily convince others of your sense of direction. Tonight: Let the good times begin.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) While you thought you could relax, you discover that that might be an impossibility. Wherever you are, you will step up to the plate. Tonight: A family member or roommate could be on the warpath.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Revise your thoughts about a partner or loved one. You could be seeing only what you want.

Tonight: Follow the music.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Build a key relationship on common ground. Whether this bond is new or old, you will notice where change might be good.

Tonight: Postpone a chat until you both are relaxed.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

jacquelinebigar.com

You might be far more sarcastic or angry than you realize.

Creative distractions and ideas can camouflage what is really going on.

Tonight: Get past a hassle.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) What you feel is appropriate with someone in your daily life probably is. However, for some reason anger could break out before you can have a conversation with this person.

Tonight: Do what you want.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) A meeting could be more important than you realize. You could be drawn to one specific person, or just believe that he or she is very special. Tonight: Where the fun is.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Stay centered and direct when dealing with a relative about a property issue. You might want to revise your thinking about a money matter. Tonight: Happy close to home.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your perspective is subject to change. What you originally thought was OK might not be the case now. Tonight: You do not need to go far.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Your perspective of a financial matter changes rapidly and gives you yet a different point of view. How you viewed yourself several years ago is substantially different than now. Tonight: Someone is adjusting to the ever-changing you.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Defer to others, even if you are sure of yourself. You don’t need to prove that you are right over and over again. Tonight: Someone you care about becomes feisty.

Dear Annie: My father’s secretary of many years smokes a pack of cigarettes every day in her office. The ventilation is poor. The secondhand smoke is detrimental to my father’s health, which is already compromised by other medical conditions.

Do we have to let her do as she pleases, even though it hurts to see Dad breathing in her fumes? — Montreal Fan Dear Montreal: Your father is the one who needs to speak up, and apparently, he is unwilling.
