One officer involved in a Lawrence police traffic ticket-fixing investigation is no longer employed with the department, Police Chief Tarik Khatib said in a statement Friday morning.

City attorney Toni Wheeler confirmed Friday that Sgt. Matt Sarna is no longer an employee of the Lawrence Police Department, and also confirmed that Sarna had been the subject of a personnel investigation.

“The personnel investigation for Matt Sarna was completed,” she said.

But Wheeler stopped short of confirming Sarna was one of two police officers who Sarna had been placed on suspension by the department during the probe into the traffic ticket-fixing allegations.

According to payroll records obtained by the Journal-World through an open records request, Sarna was paid by the city on Feb. 17, the last payroll processed by the city. The records, however, indicated Sarna received pay for less than the standard 80 hours accumulated during a normal pay period. City officials have refused to comment on whether the two officers had been suspended with or

Parents, county press for safer crossing

At the urging of grieving parents, the Douglas County Commission is asking the state for help in upgrading a dangerous railroad crossing.

Shelter seeks $100K from city and county, citing rising use

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

A bigger building is on the way for the Lawrence Community Shelter, but so to is a bigger request for public funding to support the county’s lone homeless shelter.

Leaders with the Lawrence Community Shelter have started the process to ask for $100,000 from both the city and the county. Shelter lead-

ers are asking the city and the county to make a special, unbudgeted appropriation for 2012, and then they would like the Henderson funding included in the governments’ future annual budgets.

Henderson said without the additional funding, the shelter will face a budget shortfall of about $100,000.

Henderson said the shelter has seen an across-the-board increase in numbers of people needing help, but the increase has been particularly sharp in

In 2009, the shelter served 629 individuals, 14 families and 24 children. In 2011, those numbers had grown to 685 individuals, 44 families and 75 children.

“When we started providing support to families, it often was two to four families at any given time,” Henderson said.

“Now, many days it is 12 to 14 families.”

By mid-September, the shelter is scheduled to move out of its downtown location and into a larger building in eastern Lawrence near Douglas County Jail.

Henderson said the need for more funding isn’t directly tied to the higher operating expenses that will come with a larger building. Instead, he said the shelter’s budget is Please see SHELTER, page 2A

Shelter

The shelter has a total budget of about $725,000.

The funding request has some support on the City Commission.

Commissioner Bob Schumm said he thinks the shelter’s fundraising campaign for its building project has made it more difficult to raise funds for basic operating expenses.

“I really believe we need to step up and make sure this works,” Schumm said. “We’re so close to a big success here.”

City commissioners are scheduled to formally receive the request Tuesday, and likely will ask staff to prepare a report on the issue.

County commissioners haven’t yet set a date to consider the request, County Commissioner Mike Gaughan said. Gaughan said he didn’t yet have a sense of how the request would be viewed by the commission.

“Obviously in this economy, there are more families facing homelessness and economic woes,” Gaughan said. “The shelter is just doing what it can to prepare to help.”

strained because it has had to hire an additional person to staff an overflow shelter site.

The shelter’s building at 10th and Kentucky is licensed to sleep 75 people, but the shelter routinely has had 100 people per night throughout the winter. The shelter rotates among several churches to house the overflow guests.

Henderson said the shelter has hired a new part-time development director to increase private fundraising efforts. The shelter receives about $125,000 in donations from individuals, plus raises another $20,000 through fundraising events.

Both the city and the county currently do provide some funding for the shelter’s operations.

The county provides the shelter about $15,000 in operational funding. The city’s 2012 budget includes about $57,000 in general fund revenues for the shelter, and about $36,000 that comes from alcohol tax revenues the city collects.

without pay. The JournalWorld requested payroll records for all 15 sergeants in the police department, and the records indicated all 15 received their pay during the last payroll period.

Wheeler said personnel records indicate Sarna resigned from the city effective Friday.

Wheeler declined further comment on the matter. Recent attempts to reach Sarna were not successful.

With the department since 1991, Sarna was a school resource officer for several years until 2008.

After his promotion to sergeant he was a patrol shift supervisor and in October 2010 became the department’s public affairs sergeant and media spokesman.

In his written statement Friday morning, Khatib released more details — including that at least six traffic citations were fixed — about the investigation launched following a May 2011 complaint that officers were involved in fixing speeding tickets in exchange for Kansas University basketball tickets.

The city has said the individual whose speeding tickets were dismissed was a former Kansas Athletic Inc. employee now serving time in federal prison for his role in the broader KU ticket scandal.

obscured by trees. It’s not until a driver is nearly at the crossing that there is a long distance view of the tracks.

“It’s hard to see an oncoming train until you are almost to the tracks,” Perry-Lecompton Superintendent Dennis Yoder said.

In the winter, the road is prone to freezing because it is north-facing and covered by vegetation. Ice can make it hard for vehicles to stop before the crossing, county engineering division manager Terese Gorman told county commissioners at a meeting this week.

If a signal were installed, drivers could tell whether a train was coming at the flat part of the hill and wait for it to pass before descending down to the crossing.

“I think a warning would allow you to put on your brakes sooner than you would (now),” Gorman told commissioners.

Already on icy days, the school bus driver will have parents drop off their children at other bus stops to avoid venturing down the hill, Yoder said.

At the request of the Snyders, Yoder sent a letter

Bill changing court appointments stalls

With Missouri leaving the big 12, who will be ate Republicans still have KU’s most despised misgivings about changing how Court of Appeals judges conference rival? and state Supreme Court justices are selected, despite concerns that the process is dominated unfairly by lawyers and not open enough to the public.

Critics of the bill remain suspicious because the measure, passed by the House last year, has the backing of Gov. Sam Brownback, a conservative Republican. The bill also has support from the anti-abortion group Kansans for Life and the smallgovernment, anti-tax group Americans for Prosperity.

Some legislators, even critics of the bill, expect other proposals to change the judicial selection process to emerge this year, though not as dramatic as the changes in the bill rejected Thursday.

Blubaugh and Kassie Liebsch — and one department consultant, Tom Blubaugh, to federal prison after their guilty pleas in the cash-for-tickets scam from 2005 to 2010 that rocked the university and cost it more than $2 million in football and basketball tickets.

Khatib said the investigation found one officer had a long-term friendship with the athletics employee.

“As part of this relationship, the commissioned employee received free, discounted or otherwise special access to certain athletic events over the several years. At some point in the relationship, the former KU Athletic Department employee requested assistance with traffic citations,” Khatib said. “The investigation found that over the course of nine years the commissioned employee assisted in the fixing of at least six citations that can so far be determined: one in 2000, one in 2003, one in 2004, one in 2005, one in 2008, and one in 2009. “‘Fixing’ is defined as the voiding of an issued citation before it is transferred to Municipal Court, the request for dismissal from Municipal Court, or intervening before the citation is issued.”

That officer is no longer employed as a result of violation of the city’s gratuity and solicitation policies, the chief said Friday.

Khatib said a second officer was asked two or three times by the first officer for assistance in fixing of a ticket and “may have been the beneficiary of KU tickets through the first employee.” The other tickets were fixed by ask-

ing officers who issued or were about to issue a ticket to void it or not issue it, but those officers did not “knowingly” receive anything in return.

Federal Bureau of Investigation agents, at the city’s request, investigated the case and decided against federal charges of bribery or other offenses.

Khatib said the second officer involved remains suspended pending conclusion of his personnel investigation and no other suspensions are anticipated.

The city did not release the names of the two officers in the statement Friday, but it has provided the names to District Attorney Charles Branson so prosecutors can determine if the internal investigation would affect any criminal cases in which the officers served as witnesses.

“The United States Attorney’s Office complimented the Lawrence Police Department for its thorough review of the matter and understood the city’s desire to have the complaint immediately reviewed by independent federal authorities,” Khatib said. “The city manager and I are committed to ensuring that members of the Lawrence Police Department perform their duties in accordance with the high ethical standards of this community.”

He said City Manager David Corliss also directed a full review of municipal citation dismissal procedures “to ensure greater transparency and accountability.”

to KDOT asking for help to make the crossing safer.

The amount of train and vehicle traffic the crossing has won’t qualify it for federal funds, KDOT coordinating engineer Mitch Sothers said. Crossings with more traffic receive higher priority.

The county also has the option of closing one crossing and receiving money to help put up signals at another one or to apply for state money, which is limited and is granted on a firstcome, first-served basis.

On Wednesday, the County Commission signed a resolution asking for state money to install a signalized crossing, which could cost between $150,000 to $250,000. Each year the state sets aside enough money to cover about one-and-a-half crossings, Sothers said.

If the state were to approve the county’s request, the county wouldn’t have to pay anything. The state would cover 80 percent and the railroad the other 20 percent.

If the hill really is so steep that cars have difficulty stopping when there are icy conditions, the county might want to consider more drastic measures such as closing the crossing or lessening the grade of the road, Sothers said.

Closing the crossing would add time and

distance to the PerryLecompton bus routes, Yoder said. And, Douglas County Public Works director Keith Browning said the county hasn’t discussed closing the crossing. Just three roads cross the railroad tracks between Lake View Lake and Lecompton.

The closest one from East 950 Road is about a mile west.

“In that part of the county, there are not all that many roads,” Browning said.

Whether it’s lights or closing the crossing, for Snyder any safety upgrade could help prevent another tragedy.

“I lost my one and only child and that has devastated me and my wife,” he said. “I would hate to see anyone else go through what (we) have gone through in the last year.”

TOPEKA — Many abortion opponents and conservative Republicans in Kansas are pushing to give the governor and legislators more influence over the appointment of appellate court judges, but a proposal seen as a step toward accomplishing their goals has stalled in the Legislature.

The state Senate rejected a bill Thursday to have the governor appoint new Court of Appeals judges, subject to Senate confirmation. The measure would end the screening of applications for the court by a nominating commission controlled by attorneys, expand the governor’s potential options in making appointments and give legislators a direct role.

Lt. Keith Hudson said troopers will be in the area on the lookout for aggressive and impaired drivers.

SATURDAY COLUMN

Study needed to update Kansas Board of Regents

By Dolph C. Simons Jr.

This time of year, Kansas House and Senate members are engaged in intense study and debate trying to get new laws and regulations passed, eliminate other laws and regulations and play hard-ball politics.

There isn’t much time for reflective studies of many major and timely issues, particularly issues that have not been placed on the calendars of lawmakers.

A case in point is what to do about the out-of-date and ineffective role of the Kansas Board of Regents.

A March 2011 exhaustive study of the impact of the Board of Regents system on the state’s economy points out, “The State of Kansas invests in higher education in order to promote economic development and to enhance its citizens’ quality of life.

These investments generate long-term economic benefits including productivity growth, increases in wages, new knowl-

edge creation, and byproducts from research and development. Furthermore, within each area served by a Kansas Board of Regents System institution, local businesses benefit from access to a large pool of parttime and full-time highly skilled and educated workers. Beyond the economic impacts, institutions of the KBOR System develop human capital, defined as the accumulation of investment in the skills and knowledge, for current residents, for non-residents who move to Kansas and for individuals that gain from the institutions’ online or distance learning opportunities.”

The regents are the governing board of the six state universities — Kansas University, Kansas State, Wichita, Emporia, Fort Hays and Pittsburg — and the coordinating board for the state’s higher education system, which also includes one municipal university (Washburn), 19 community colleges and six vocational-technical schools.

The regents administer the state’s student financial aid, adult education, GED, career and technical education programs and the state university retirement plans. The board also provides private proprietary schools and out-of-state institutions permission to operate in Kansas and administers distance-learning capabilities for schools, hospitals and libraries.

COMMENTARY Nine part-time, nonpaid individuals are supposed to oversee and manage this assignment.

Try as they may, there is no way for them to be on top of this task or assignment!

Some regents will acknowledge it is almost an impossible task. They say they might be able to do a fairly good job in overseeing the six regents universities, but the assignment of coordinating activities and

practices for all 32 institutions is almost an impossibility.

Regents spend and OK hundreds of millions, billions of dollars, every year. The quality of the education at these institutions rests in their hands, and yet, this operation is out of date, ineffective, wasteful and doesn’t maximize and get the full benefit of their million-dollar budgets. The state is being shortchanged.

This criticism is not directed at any current or past individual regents, although there have been too many regents who have been appointed by governors as a payoff, IOU or political thank you.

Again the system is out of date.

This being the case, why don’t state legislators and/or the governor acknowledge the state is not receiving the best service from the regents system, not necessarily individuals serving as regents?

It would seem long overdue

for the governor to appoint a blue ribbon committee to study the regents. Such a committee could have several past regents, perhaps a provost or two from peer institutions, maybe a past chancellor or president and several thoughtful, fiscally sound state legislators. It should be bipartisan and made up of individuals who merit the public’s respect.

Recent situations here on the Lawrence campus and at the KU School of Medicine offer specific examples of the regents not knowing what is going on at the various campuses. If they knew, they did not take action. They rely too much on the reassurances of the chancellor, presidents and provosts (or their counterparts) that everything is OK. The size and scope of today’s family of Kansas Board of Regents schools have grown significantly, and it is time for a serious study of how to make this body better informed and more efficient.

Capitol chapel proposed

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — When legislators return next week they will consider a proposal to set aside space in the Statehouse for an allfaiths chapel.

House Majority Leader Arlen Siegfreid, R-Olathe, has proposed a place “reserved for prayer and meditation in the state Capitol building.”

Siegfreid’s House Bill 2694 says that belief in God, prayer and meditation have played a significant part in the history of the United

States and Kansas.

A hearing on his bill is scheduled Wednesday and Thursday before the House Federal and State Affairs Committee.

Asked about the proposal Friday, several legislators said it could raise some legal issues.

“A lot of us pray here, constantly,” said Senate Republican Leader Jay Scott Emler, R-Lindsborg.

But he said legislators would need to get a legal opinion on whether they could put a chapel in the Capitol.

House Democratic Lead-

er Paul Davis of Lawrence said he didn’t think putting a chapel in the Statehouse was necessary. He noted that there are several large churches across the street from the Capitol.

Senate Democratic Leader Anthony Hensley of Topeka said that Gov. George Docking, who was governor from 1957 to 1961, vetoed putting a chapel in the Statehouse because he suspected legislators would hide their whiskey in it.

property taxes.

Brownback has proposed eliminating state limits on local property taxes for education. He says that would give local residents more say in how much is spent on schools, but critics contend it will create greater disparities between rich and poor districts.

Vratil said he supports Brownback’s plan, but that many other senators have problems with it. He said it could take up to three years for the Legislature to resolve issues in the governor’s plan.

When asked what he thought about one of his major proposals being

Brownback denied that was the case.

Holland ran against Brownback for governor in November. Kultala was Holland’s lieutenant governor running mate.

Holland, of Baldwin City, and Kultala, of Kansas City, Kan., represent different portions of Leavenworth County.

If the Senate district boundaries were redrawn to put the entire district within Leavenworth County, Holland and Kultala would most likely have to run against incumbents in other districts because neither of them lives in Leavenworth County. Holland

held over for further study after the current legislative session, Brownback gave mixed messages.

On one hand he said he could live with whatever the Legislature decided, but on the other, he said, it would be better for the Legislature to approve his plan now because of a pending school finance lawsuit that is set to go to trial June 4.

“Once you have that case decided by the lower court, your options of how you deal with things get substantially restricted,” Brownback said.

“Your best time to deal with this is before you go to trial. As an old attorney and litigator, the time to settle something is before you go to trial, rather than afterwards,” he said.

But the lawsuit’s plain-

tiffs, which includes 55 school districts, say that the main issue is not the school finance formula, but the level of funding put into the formula.

Based on a previous Kansas Supreme Court decision, the Legislature approved a threeyear funding increase to schools, but before the final year was allocated the Legislature started cutting education funds.

House Minority Leader Paul Davis, D-Lawrence, said he doubts an interim study could salvage Brownback’s plan.

He noted that most school officials oppose Brownback’s proposal, except for a couple of school districts in Johnson County.

would probably face state Sen. Marci Francisco, DLawrence, and Kultala, state Sen. David Haley, DKansas City, Kan. Earlier this week, Brownback’s chief of staff, David Kensinger, testified to the Senate Reapportionment Committee. He didn’t mention the governor’s concern with protecting federal assets, but focused on Leavenworth County’s population, saying it deserved to be self-contained in one Senate district or the predominant county of one.

Senate Democratic Leader Anthony Hensley of Topeka said having the governor’s chief of staff testify on what the governor wanted in a legislative redistricting map was unprecedented.

Hensley said Holland and Kultala have done an excellent job representing Leavenworth County.

House Minority Leader

Paul Davis, D-Lawrence, said the fact that Brownback’s plan affects Holland and Kultala “makes the governor look a little petty.” Davis said Brownback has shown he wants to exert his influence over the Legislature and judiciary.

Republican leaders downplayed Brownback’s influence in the Senate redistricting process.

Senate President Steve Morris, R-Hugoton, said he doubted the Senate would collapse two districts.

Senate Vice President John Vratil, R-Leawood, said Brownback had earlier indicated he would not be involved in legislative redistricting and now has changed his mind.

Vratil said the governor is entitled to his opinion, but added, “I would just hope he would be consistent.”

Hunger games: Banquet raises awareness about class differences

By Alex Garrison acgarrison@ljworld.com

Rachel Wotawa was uncomfortable at the table.

She was one of the lucky ones, becoming part of the “upper class” by picking a particular-colored piece of paper. So she got to enjoy a nice spaghetti dinner, fancy service and all. Her friend wasn’t so lucky — her pick of the lot deemed her “lower class,” meaning she sat on the floor and ate plain rice with her hands.

Wotawa said after the experience — a “hunger banquet” designed to raise hunger awareness Friday night in the Kansas Union — that the simulated separation between the “upper,” “middle” and “lower” classes made her feel uncomfortable because she got a seat at the table but few others did.

It was an exercise for the 20 or so people who attended, but, as speaker Jeremy Farmer reminded them, hunger is a very real problem for thousands of people in Douglas County.

Farmer, the executive director of Just Food, 1200 E. 11th St., gave a talk as the three groups — the lowest class was the largest — ate food representative of their economic status.

The event was sponsored by the St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center and Heartland Community Health Center.

said the event was held to promote discussion about hunger in Douglas County and how to tackle it.

“Any change starts with the individual, to look at things we could cut away to help,” she said.

Farmer started the discussion by asking those in the lower class to leave the room. Unfortunately, he said, the conversation about what to do about hunger almost always takes place without them.

“You don’t see (people suffering from hunger),” he said. “Maybe if you did, you’d be more inclined to do something.”

The issue of perception of hunger issues was the main theme of the night.

More fortunate people see those in need as “lazy and stupid” but “nothing is further from the truth,” he said, and those in the middle class are often one traumatic life event away from struggling, too.

But the tone of the dinner was meant to be upbeat — Farmer, whose group helped 85,000 people last year, said change is possible. It starts with breaking negative assumptions and becoming aware of the issues within our own communities.

“It sounds small, but the biggest thing somebody can do,” he said, “is be an advocate.”

Police conducted a brief pursuit of a vehicle Friday afternoon near downtown Lawrence as officers were looking for a wanted person associated with a vehicle.

Sgt. Trent McKinley, a patrol shift supervisor, said the pursuit began about 4:46 p.m. near Ninth and Pennsylvania streets as a suspect in a black, older sport-utility vehicle drove away from officers. Police received an anonymous call that a person with outstanding warrants was associated with the vehicle.

The vehicle’s driver then eventually drove onto railroad tracks near Seventh and New York streets and headed northwest on the tracks by the Riverfront Plaza, under the Kansas River bridge and eventually came back out onto a street near Fifth and Tennessee streets. McKinley said officers who initially were chasing the vehicle did not drive on the tracks, but they notified other officers of the location so they could pick up the pursuit.

As the suspect was headed west on Fifth Street, supervisors then around 4:55 p.m. ordered those officers to call off the chase in the residential area because the vehicle was driving about 55

Douglas County prosecutors Friday filed four charges against a 24-yearold Lawrence woman accused of calling in a bomb threat to a Lawrence Walmart in an attempt to avoid a shoplifting arrest.

According to court records, prosecutors filed charges against Melanie Spanky Fae Brooks of aggravated burglary, theft less than $1,000, making a criminal threat and possession of marijuana.

Brooks was accused of fleeing from officers after reports that she was seen shoplifting at Kohl’s Department Store, 3240 Iowa.

The woman ran to Walmart, 3300 Iowa, and then called 911, telling dispatchers that there was bomb on site.

“It was an attempt to get us to respond to a false alarm so she could evade arrest,” said Lawrence police Sgt. Trent McKinley said Thursday night.

Former defense secretary visits Fort Leavenworth

By Shawn Linenberger slinenberger@theworldco.info

FORT LEAVENWORTH — Donald Rumsfeld recalled his 2001 Secretary of Defense confirmation hearing in which he fielded a question from U.S. Sen. Pat Roberts of Kansas about what worried him late at night.

“I could have said North Korea, but I said it was our intelligence,” Rumsfeld said. “I worry about our not knowing sufficiently what’s happening in the world.”

Rumsfeld spoke Friday at Fort Leavenworth’s Lewis and Clark Center to roughly 1,000 U.S. and international officers at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College.

Rumsfeld spoke to the officers and then fielded a handful of questions, addressing the group for nearly an hour.

The former defense secretary, who also signed copies of his book, “The Known and Unknown: A Memoir,” after his appearance, voiced his concerns about cuts in defense.

He noted that past budget cuts in the military in defense, and especially intelligence — after World War II and Vietnam, for instance — have hindered security.

Rumsfeld, 79, was the youngest and oldest defense secretary, serving from 1975-77 for President Gerald Ford and then 2001-06 for President George W. Bush.

Dish acquired the Blockbuster video-store chain in April. The closures would leave Blockbuster with about 1,000 retail stores.

The filing doesn’t say which stores will be shut down.

“It almost makes me sound like I couldn’t hold a job,” the former defense secretary said, drawing laughter from the officers.

An officer inquired about the surge in Iraq during the George W. Bush administration and how media coverage at the time was zeroed in on the immigration debate.

Asked whether that was a strategy to keep the focus off the military actions, Rumsfeld responded with a deadpanned “no.”

With regard to his memoirs, Rumsfeld said he debated fitting his

writings into a one-year window. He decided instead to take more time and finished them in about four years.

He said the memoirs were rooted in more than 4,000 primary source documents, including letters his father sent while serving in the Navy during World War II. As Rumsfeld wrapped up his talk, an officer asked what characteristics are most important in a president.

He said trust was the greatest tool.

“You can’t persuade people if they don’t believe you,” Rumsfeld said.

Oil prices rising to near 2011 highs

By Chris Kahn Associated Press

NEW YORK — Oil prices are approaching last year’s highs as tensions increase over Iran’s nuclear program. The rise pushed gasoline prices on Friday to a national average of $3.65 per gallon, the highest ever for this time of year.

Western nations fear Iran is building a nuclear weapon and have been trying to force it to open its facilities to inspection.

Iran has refused, turning away international inspectors this week for the second time this month.

The United Nations said Friday that Iran has responded to the recent scrutiny by speeding up production of highergrade enriched uranium, feeding concerns that it is developing a bomb.

As both sides dig in for a protracted standoff, investors are snapping up oil contracts in case fighting breaks out in the heart of the one of the world’s biggest oil-producing regions. “Everyone’s pricing in the potential for war

now,” independent analyst Stephen Schork said.

“Without a concrete resolution, nobody knows how high this can go.”

Israel hasn’t ruled out an attack on Iran, and Iran has said it is ready to strike pre-emptively, possibly targeting the Strait of Hormuz, if it is threatened. The Persian Gulf passageway is a potential choke point for oil supplies. One-fifth of the world’s oil tankers pass through it every day.

On Friday benchmark West Texas Intermediate crude rose by $1.94 to end the week at $109.77 per barrel in New York. Brent crude rose by $1.85 to finish at $125.47 per barrel in London.

WTI peaked near $114 a barrel last May, while Brent rose above $126 per barrel.

The price of gasoline, which is made from crude oil, has soared with oil prices. The national average jumped by nearly 12 cents per gallon in a week, with state averages above $4 per gallon in California, Alaska and Hawaii.

It looks like they’ll keep climbing.

Take care of animals in the cold: Despite a furry coat, domesticated animals are no longer suited to withstand prolonged exposure to cold weather. As a general guideline, please remember that if the air temperature is below freezing, pets should be brought indoors. If a heated home area is not available, at the very least access to a warm garage or shed with dry bedding and out of the wind is a must.

WATER IS ESSENTIAL! Never rely on snow or ice for your animal’s drinking needs; they are not adequate. Cold weather creates very dry air, so please provide fresh water as you would during the summer.

A heated bowl may be needed. And don’t forget about your animals’ feet. Check them for salt residue, cuts and snow packed between toes. It’s best to buy deicers labeled safe for pets.

‘Friends of Syria’ vow support for opposition

By Matthew Lee and Paul Schemm Associated Press

TUNIS, TUNISIA — U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton blasted Russia and China as “despicable” for opposing U.N. action aimed at stopping the bloodshed in Syria, and more than 60 nations began planning a civilian peacekeeping mission to deploy after the Damascus regime halts its crackdown on the opposition.

In his most forceful words to date on the Syrian crisis, President Barack Obama said the U.S. and its allies would use “every tool available” to end the bloodshed by the government of President Bashar Assad.

“It is time to stop the killing of Syrian citizens by their own government,” Obama said in Washington, adding that it is “absolutely

imperative for the international community to rally and send a clear message to President Assad that it is time for a transition. It is time for that regime to move on.”

Obama spoke as a group known as the Friends of Syria, led by the U.S. and European and Arab nations, met in Tunisia in the latest effort to halt the Assad regime’s nearly year-old suppression of an anti-government uprising.

The group’s actions are aimed at jolting Assad and his allies into accepting demands for a democratic transition, even as they are still unwilling to commit to military intervention.

While the Tunisia conference offered nothing other than the threat of increasing isolation and sanctions to compel compliance from Assad, Clinton went on to predict a

military coup inside Syria of the kind that ended the old regimes in Egypt and Tunisia.

“We saw this happen in other settings last year, I think it is going to happen in Syria,” she told reporters at the end of the meeting. “We also know from many sources that there are people around Assad who are beginning to hedge their bets — they didn’t sign up to slaughter people.”

Assad allies Russia and China, which blocked U.N. action on Syria and are eager to head off any repeat of the kind of foreign intervention that happened in Libya, gave no sign they would agree to peacekeepers. Moscow and Beijing have vetoed U.N. Security Council resolutions backing Arab League plans aimed at ending the conflict and condemning Assad’s crackdown.

Romney: Raise Medicare eligibility age

By David Espo Associated Press

DETROIT — Four days before critical primary elections, Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney outlined a far-reaching plan Friday to gradually delay Americans’ eligibility for Medicare as well as Social Security.

Romney said the shift, as people live longer, is needed to steer the giant benefit programs toward economic sustainability.

Speaking to the Detroit Economic Club — in cavernous Ford Field, where the Detroit Lions football team plays — he also made a play for primary election support in Michigan, which votes on Tuesday along with Arizona.

Romney said previous steps to toughen government emission standards had “provided a benefit to some of the foreign automakers” at the expense of American companies.

He said future changes should be worked out cooperatively between government and industry.

Campaigning in the city where he was born, Romney described himself as “a car guy” who has a Ford Mustang and a Chevy pickup and whose wife, Ann, drives “a couple of Cadillacs.” Aides said they were model year 2007 and 2010 SRX vehicles, one each registered in Massachusetts and California.

Romney said his proposals for Medicare and Social Security would begin in 2022, meaning no

current or near-retirees would be affected. He also said he favors adjustments to curtail the growth of future benefits for the relatively well-to-do, so “lower-income seniors would receive the most generous benefits.” He had described his Social Security proposals previously.

The two programs provide retirement and health care benefits to tens of millions of older Americans.

Beginning in 2022, Romney said, “we will gradually increase the Medicare eligibility age by one month each year. In the long run, the eligibility ages for both programs will be indexed to longevity so that they increase only as fast as life expectancy.”

Former KU coach visits city showdown

John Young/Journal-World Photo

FORMER KANSAS UNIVERSITY MEN’S BASKETBALL COACH LARRY BROWN, left, talks with former player Kevin Pritchard during Lawrence High School’s home basketball game Friday against Free State High School.

It’s not easy for presidents to say ‘I’m sorry’ WASHINGTON — Nearly every president ends up saying he’s sorry for something America has done — from a bomb gone tragically astray to the locking up of Japanese-Americans during World War II. This time it’s disrespectful disposal of Qurans. And again there are critics who see an apology as a sign of weakness or a failure of patriotism.

Should being president mean never having to say you’re sorry?

Few would go that far, but there are plenty of advocates for keeping presidential regrets to a minimum.

It seems that the bigger the national blunder, the more controversial the apology.

So saying the U.S. is sorry for the mistaken bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Yugoslavia or the accidental sinking of a Japanese fishing boat is widely accepted.

But apologizing for the moral catastrophe of slavery is so contentious that no president has done so.

John Murphy, a University of Illinois associate professor who studies presidential

rhetoric, looks at it this way: Nations aren’t that different from regular people.

“On a personal level, too, we’re much more willing

to apologize if everybody involved knows it was an accident,” he said. “Oops, I did that, wasn’t that stupid of me.”

U.S.-Taliban talks worry Afghan women Fawzia Koofi, the 19th of her father’s 23 children by seven wives, was put outside to die after she was born, because she was female.

Badly burned by the sun, she survived. Backed by her strongwilled, illiterate mother, she overcame the horrors of civil war and Taliban rule to become a leading member of the Afghan parliament and a probable 2014 presidential candidate. Her gripping new memoir, “The Favored Daughter: One Woman’s Fight to Lead Afghanistan Into the Future,” details how a determined girl surmounted impossible odds to become a voice for Afghan women and children.

So there are few better qualified than Koofi to warn about the danger that U.S. talks with the Taliban pose for Afghan women.

“I have a fear,” she said by phone from Kabul this week, “that we will lose the gains we have made over the past 10 years.”

As Americans tire of the endless Afghan conflict, talks with the Taliban seem to offer a way out.

Preliminary meetings between U.S. officials and Taliban officials have been held in recent weeks.

But given the White House commitment to bring most troops home by 2014, there seems little reason for the Taliban to compromise on core principles, including repression of women. Nor have Afghan women been given a say in setting the agenda for talks.

That gives Afghan women good reason to worry. A recent poll by

Trudy Rubin

“

trubin@phillynews.com

Indeed, says Koofi, most Afghans are not eager for talks with the Taliban. Their priorities are more basic: schools, jobs, and services.”

the international humanitarian agency ActionAid found 86 percent of women questioned were deeply concerned at the prospect of a Taliban-influenced government. Koofi’s memoir shows how much they have to lose.

She was raised in the remote province of Badakhshan, bordering China and Tajikistan, where her father was a respected political leader who was murdered at the onset of decades of Afghan civil war. Taken by her widowed mother to Kabul, she managed to get an education, only to watch her liberal-minded husband dragged off to a gruesome jail by the Taliban shortly after their marriage. In prison he contracted the tuberculosis that ul-

timately killed him.

“I lived in Kabul under the Taliban and I know what their attitude is like,” she told me. The Taliban’s return, she says, would mean “depriving women of education, forbidding them to go out of their houses.” She is dubious about rumors that Taliban leaders have changed their minds about allowing girls’ schools.

Koofi lives in a walled compound in Kabul (she faces constant Taliban death threats).

When I visited last year, a line of desperate women waited inside to ask for her help.

Yet, despite the limits still imposed on women by a conservative Afghan culture (female literacy is only 13 percent), enormous strides have been made since the Taliban fell. As of September, 2.7 million Afghan girls were enrolled in school, compared with just 5,000 in 2001. Sixty nine women serve in parliament (27 percent of the total); Koofi was elected from remote Badakhshan, where she received a huge percentage of votes from men as well as women.

These gains must not be thrown away.

Indeed, says Koofi, most Afghans are not eager for talks with the Taliban. Their priorities are more basic: schools, jobs, and services. But if Afghan President Hamid Karzai or the Americans seek talks with the Taliban, the process must change.

Right now, she says, the Af-

ghan peace process is totally untransparent. “Women are not included. Civil society and the political opponents of the government aren’t included. Even parliament is not included.”

These sectors of society must be consulted before the process goes any further, she says. Afghans must all agree on certain red lines to which the Taliban must assent before being permitted into the political system. One of those red lines would be the preservation of women’s rights.

Now it is true that the Obama administration has set forth red lines for the Taliban, which include respect for the Afghan constitution. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says that “for many of us [that red line] means they have to respect the rights of women.”

But no one knows if Clinton’s stance will be the final word in peace talks, which is why Koofi is rightly nervous. “If the Taliban returns,” she wrote in her book, “these little girls will once again be forced back indoors and silenced underneath their burqas and a set of … laws that accord women fewer rights than dogs.

To allow this to happen would be a betrayal of the highest order.”

Those who oppose such a betrayal should keep watch on any talks with the Taliban.

Will GOP follow heart or brain?

About once every generation, one of the two main parties follows its heart, rather than its brains. It may be happening again.

Next week’s Michigan primary will tell us if the Republican establishment choice, Mitt Romney, remains the GOP front-runner, or if his latest main conservative challenger, Rick Santorum, has a real chance of winning the party’s nomination.

Already, the 2012 GOP race shows some of the signs that marked such electorally disastrous ideological adventures as Barry Goldwater’s capture of the 1964 GOP nomination

Carl Leubsdorf

Next week’s results will either confirm or undercut Romney’s status as the frontrunner.”

and George McGovern’s antiwar candidacy in the 1972 Democratic race.

Consider these parallels: O Ideologues vs. Pragmatists.

The challenge from the GOP’s tea party faction is very similar to Goldwater’s 1964 conservative insurgency and McGovern’s 1972 effort to mobilize anti-Vietnam war forces against the Democratic establishment. Most 2012 GOP candidates have openly sought the support of tea party activists who became a major force in 2010 and want a more aggressive GOP effort to curb the federal government.

O A Weak Frontrunner. Romney is a weak frontrunner with strong establishment support but only modest enthusiasm from the rank and file. Like Republican Nelson Rockefeller in 1964 and Democrat Edmund Muskie in 1972, his campaign is based largely on his claim to be the strongest Republican rival to President Obama. But like Rockefeller, who was widely mis-

trusted by GOP conservatives, and Muskie, an indifferent campaigner with a volatile personality, Romney has proven to be a flawed candidate on the stump.

O The Challenge of Winning. The difficulty of winning the general election is encouraging party ideologues who want to draw the sharpest possible difference with the Democrats.

Both Goldwater and McGovern benefited from the desire for a more aggressive candidate against a heavily favored incumbent. Recent polls indicate Romney may not be a much stronger GOP nominee than Santorum, though most top Republicans believe the latter would be a disastrous candidate.

O The Search for an Alternative.

GOP leaders fear they may be facing an inconclusive primary battle, spurring speculation about possible brokering by top party leaders or the entrant of a new candidate before the final primary filing deadlines. In both 1964 and 1972, new candidates did emerge — but without success.

As Goldwater neared the 1964 GOP nomination and Rockefeller faltered, party leaders persuaded moderate Gov. William Scranton of Pennsylvania to declare his candidacy. But it was too late; Goldwater was nominated on the first ballot and in November lost 44 states to President Lyndon Johnson.

In 1972, Muskie’s candidacy collapsed quickly after poor early pri-

mary showings, and 1968 nominee Hubert Humphrey mounted an establishment effort to stop McGovern. He carried the fight all the way to the convention, where he narrowly lost. That fall, many top Democrats sat on their hands, and McGovern lost 49 states to President Richard Nixon.

All this suggests that late candidacies rarely succeed, and the concept of a convention brokered by party leaders is wishful thinking. It takes three strong candidates to prevent one from clinching the nomination, something that could happen. But the active candidates are likely to do any brokering, not outsiders.

Next week’s results will either confirm or undercut Romney’s status as the frontrunner. But whoever wins in Michigan and Arizona will face additional tests, first a week later in Ohio and some Southern states on Super Tuesday, then March 20 in Illinois. At some point, the leader will become more clearly established.

Despite his shortcomings, Romney still has a better chance of beating Obama than Santorum because he’ll have some appeal to the independents who decide presidential elections. Because Santorum holds so many positions on social issues outside the political mainstream, he’d have a real chance of becoming another Goldwater or McGovern.

Rivalry’s roots To the editor: In Friday’s front-page hype of the final regular season game between the ’Hawks and Tigers, the attribution of the beginning of the rivalry to William Clarke Quantrill is just silly. If you want a Civil War beginning, you should note the sack of Osceola, Mo., on Sept. 23, 1861, by Lawrence’s own Jim Lane, noted military leader and politician. Both Lane and Quantrill were from Ohio and Quantrill rode with Lane on raids in the 1850s.

The rivalry — oldest west of the Mississippi — began during the administration of Theodore Roosevelt and was based on football, which is far more important than terrorist raids 40-odd years earlier.

I will miss the MU-KU rivalry. But things change.

Earl Haehl, Lawrence

Act on Syria To the editor: Dear President Obama: Do not give up your day job. Please pay attention to Sen. McCain’s request that we provide arms for defense of the innocents being slaughtered in their fight to free themselves from the tyranny of Assad in Syria. You know, I know, Sen. McCain knows that United Nations resolutions are seldom, if ever, effective in these matters. Every day you delay letting the world know which side we are on condemns more to the meat grinder operating in Syria.

Surely we are on the right side there just as we were in Libya? Step up and help these people help themselves by shipping them more and better arms to defend themselves. After all they are doing much not to just rid themselves of a butcher, but his fall will truly isolate Iran from the rest of the Arab Muslim world and make your sanctions stronger.

Take this opportunity to make those Americans who voted for you proud and able to say “he is a real leader.” Do what Teddy Roosevelt would do and show what America still stands for. It would also quiet much of the criticism that you cannot be presidential. Show your John Wayne side. People would love it.

Gov. not interested in keeping MU rivalry TOPEKA — Gov. Sam Brownback says he has no interest in keeping Kansas University’s rivalry with the University of Missouri alive when the Tigers leave the Big 12 for the Southeastern Conference next year.

Brownback told reporters Friday on the eve of Brownback the last scheduled men’s basketball game between the Jayhawks and Tigers that Missouri is to blame for the storied series ending after 100-plus years.

He said Missouri nearly “cratered” the Big 12 by first talking three years ago about leaving for the Big Ten. Brownback said had the Big 12 dissolved, Kansas and Kansas State would have been in a tough position.

He quoted Kansas athletic director Sheahon Zenger, that keeping rivalry going would be like a man divorcing his wife, then asking if they can still date.

KANSAS FRESHMAN FORWARD CHELSEA GARDNER looks for help against Baylor’s Brittney Griner on Friday at Allen Fieldhouse.

No. 1 Baylor stifles Kansas

By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

This part of the game had nothing to do with Baylor.

Facing the nation’s topranked team is a hard enough challenge. It was made even tougher in Kansas’ 76-45 loss to BU on Friday night when the Jayhawks spent a portion of the first half not knowing what they were doing.

“Offensively,” KU coach Bonnie Henrickson said, “(we) just were a mess there early.”

On multiple possessions in the first half, point guard Angel Goodrich was left yelling at teammates as KU’s players couldn’t remember their assignments on plays.

“I think there was a little bit of confusion, because people weren’t in the right spots,” Goodrich said. “That’s just lack of focus. You’ve got to know what we’re running and what we’re in.”

The miscommunication contributed to one of the ugliest offensive halves in team history.

After a Goodrich jumper with 16:55 left — which also came as the result of a busted play — KU went 8 minutes, 27 seconds without scoring.

The Jayhawks also went 10 minutes, 59 seconds without a field goal.

With six minutes left in the first half, Baylor led 253, and the offensive numbers Please see KU WOMEN, page 3B

KANSAS UNIVERSITY FORWARD THOMAS ROBINSON DRIVES between Missouri defenders Ricardo Ratliffe and Phil Pressey on Feb. 4 at Mizzou Arena in Columbia, Mo. KU lost that game, 74-71, and Robinson and the Jayhawks will look for revenge today at Allen Fieldhouse.

Big 12 title, revenge motivate KU in final battle with MU

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University’s basketball players congregate at center court and chant, “Big 12 champs,” as they conclude each practice during the marathon conference season.

Today, in front of their own fans, the Jayhawks can stake claim to at least a share of an eighth-straight league title — and achieve an all-important goal — by defeating rival Missouri in a 3 p.m., tip, in Allen Fieldhouse.

“If we win this game, we put ourselves in great position to win the conference. We don’t want to be that team that ends the streak, so we definitely want to go out there and play tough,” said KU junior center Jeff Withey.

No. 4-ranked KU (23-5, 132) holds a one-game lead over No. 3 Missouri (25-3, 12-3) with three games left on the slate. Third-place Baylor and

“

They have a chance to get a ring, at least a piece of it, a chance to play Missouri, but more importantly, a chance to play a team that beat us the first time we played.”

— Kansas University men’s basketball coach Bill Self Iowa State are way back and non-factors at 10-5.

“These kids will be fired up to play for a lot of reasons,” said KU coach Bill Self. His squad blew an eight-point lead in the last two minutes of a 74-71 loss to MU on Feb. 4 at Mizzou Arena. “They have a chance to get a ring, at least a piece of it, a chance to play Missouri, but more importantly, a chance to play a team that beat us the first time we played. That would be plenty to focus on.”

KU also has a chance to win what’s being billed as the final game against MU in Allen (the Tigers move to the SEC next season). The Jayhawks currently have a 12-game winning streak against their rivals at home.

“The most important thing is to win the game, to put yourself in a position to win the league. That’s every team’s goal,” Self said. “This gives you an opportunity to at least put yourself in a good position. It puts them in a good position, too, if they win.”

Despite a significant size advantage in the first meeting, 7-foot KU center Withey failed to score while grabbing four rebounds in 23 minutes.

“We know how much this game means for our team, and for me personally it means a lot because I had a horrible game against them last time,” Withey said.

CITY SHOWDOWN: LAWRENCE HIGH BOYS 38, FREE STATE 36

Lions clip Firebirds on Willoughby buzzer-beater

LAWRENCE HIGH JUNIOR SHANE WILLOUGHBY (15) SPLITS Free State defenders Cameron Dabney (14) and Blake Winslow to score the game-winning basket as time expires during the Lions’ game against the Firebirds on Friday at LHS.

For the first seven minutes and 59 seconds of the fourth quarter Friday night, Lawrence High’s boys basketball team couldn’t get a single shot to drop through the net.

None of that mattered, though, once Lions junior guard Shane Willoughby scored the game-clinching lay-in at the buzzer, and LHS knocked off pesky Free State, 38-36, in Part 2 of the City Showdown.

The grind of a game closed in dramatic fashion in the jam-packed “Jungle” that is the LHS gymnasium, with the ball in the 5-foot-9 guard’s able hands. Willoughby was close to 40 feet away from the basket with the clock winding down. Then he started his drive to the hoop with just more than six seconds left and, with a smooth spin-move in the lane, Willoughby gained just enough space to score the layup.

PREP APPRAISALS Check out Benton Smith’s player rankings from the City Showdown games in the Lawrence Journal-World’s high school sports blog, the dividing line: www.ljworld. com/weblogs/dividing_line.

Watching from the opposite end of the floor, FSHS coach Chuck Law thought his Firebirds were in a good spot when there were eight seconds to go and Willoughby was on the right wing, nowhere near the lane. Law had what he considered to be his best defensive unit on the floor, but he gave the game’s hero credit for making a clutch play.

“You can’t get beat off the bounce and let a guy get all the way to the basket like that,” Law said.

FSHS (7-13) tied the game at 36 with 1:01 remaining when senior guard Brett

Frantz scored an off-balance bucket inside. At that point, Frantz thought Free State had a real shot at a victory.

“Especially when we tied it up,” Frantz said after scoring a game-high 17 points.

“Everybody’s going crazy, we had momentum, the team was feeling good.”

Lawrence coach Mike Lewis was fully aware of Free State’s confidence at that point, and called a timeout following Frantz’s tying basket. The Lions (13-7) took their starting center, Bryce Montes de Oca, out of the game in favor of an all-guard lineup, so they could utilize their “five-game” set on offense.

With brothers Shane and Troy Willoughby, Jake Mosiman, Logan Henrichs and Anthony Buffalomeat on the floor, Lewis instructed his team to hold for the final shot and wait for the six- or seven-second mark to attack.

Marquette survives against WVU, 61-60 MORGANTOWN, W.VA (AP) — Jae Crowder scored 26 points and No. 10 Marquette, after benching Darius Johnson-Odom and two other starters in the first half for breaking team rules, overcame a double-digit deficit to beat West Virginia, 61-60, on Friday night.

Johnson-Odom, the team’s leading scorer, sat out the first half along with Junior Cadougan and Vander Blue due to an undisclosed violation of team rules. Still, the Golden Eagles (24-5, 13-3 Big East) won their

fifth straight and 12th in the last 13 games.

Marquette fell behind by 15 early in the second half, but Crowder and Johnson-Odom led a 24-8 run and Marquette overtook the Mountaineers (1712, 7-9), who may need to win their final two regular-season games to have any chance at an automatic bid to their fifth straight NCAA tournament.

Cadougan’s layup put Marquette ahead to stay, 54-53, with 4:17 remaining. West Virginia had a chance to win it, but Dar-

ryl “Truck� Bryant missed a wild, off-balance shot from the baseline with two seconds left.

Bryant, who had shot 24 percent from the field in his 10 previous games, led West Virginia with 25 points.

Kevin Jones, the conference’s leading scorer and rebounder, spent most of the game in foul trouble and was limited to 12 points and six rebounds.

With Johnson-Odom, Cadougan and Blue benched for the first half, reserve Todd Mayo got his second start.

The former IndyCar driver turned a fast lap of 49.250 seconds around the high-banked speedway, averaging 182.741 mph.

Trevor Bayne qualified second, followed by Elliott Sadler, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Austin Dillon.

Patrick is entering her first full-time season in the Nationwide Series, driving for JR Motorsports and team owner Earnhardt Jr. She also is making her Sprint Cup debut in the Daytona 500 on Sunday.

FORMER KANSAS STANDOUT Markieff Morris, of Team Shaq dunks the ball during the Rising Stars Challenge on Friday in Orlando, Fla. Morris scored 12 points in a 146133 loss to Team Chuck.

Cavs’ Irving impressive in Challenge ORLANDO, FLA. (AP) — Cleveland rookie Kyrie Irving made eight three-pointers and finished with 34 points, helping Team Chuck beat Team Shaq, 146-133, in the Rising Stars Challenge on Friday.

Indiana’s Paul George added 23 points but the night belonged to Irving, who picked up where another rookie point guard left off in the NBA’s showcase game for its first- and second-year players. Wizards point guard John Wall earned MVP honors last season when he was a rookie.

Former Kansas University standout Markieff Morris of Phoenix scored 12 points.

Cleveland’s Tristan Thompson scored 20 points to lead Team Shaq. New York Knicks sensation Jeremy Lin had only two points.

This year’s Rising Stars Challenge had a different format, with the rookie and secondyear players mixed together on teams for the first time. The league also inserted a little more name recognition with former stars Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley serving as general managers and drafting the teams.

While the teams had a different look, there was once again no real defensive effort and plenty of fan-pleasing fast breaks and flashy play.

Irving opened the game with an alley-oop to George.

King claims truck victory DAYTONA BEACH, FLA. — John King wrecked the leader and later held on to win a wild Truck Series opener at Daytona International Speedway on Friday night.

It was King’s first NASCAR victory.

Timothy Peters finished second, giving Red Horse Racing a 1-2 finish in the series opener.

Justin Lofton was third, followed by Travis Kvapil, Jason White and Todd Bodine.

King turned leader Johnny Saunter around on the second of three attempts at a greenwhite-checkered finish, but the real gasps were saved for the final melee.

Joey Coulter slammed into the wall shortly after the final restart, his truck lifting off the ground, hitting the fence and then spinning back across the track. Coulter emerged a few minutes later unharmed and bowed to the crowd.

Big 12 buyouts reached

Westwood eliminates Watney

All-Star Saturday

STILLWATER, OKLA. — The chairman of the Big 12’s board of directors says the conference has agreed to terms with Texas A&M and Missouri on the schools’ exit penalties but the league’s members must still give final approval.

Oklahoma State President Burns Hargis said Friday that the schools agreed to the terms “long before� West Virginia’s entry into the conference was finalized this month. The university’s board of regents voted Friday to grant Hargis power to execute final settlements, and he says every conference member must take a similar step before the arrangements are finalized.

MARANA, ARIZ. — Lee Westwood got his revenge on Nick Watney on Friday and moved a step closer to a shot at regaining the No. 1 ranking. Westwood was eliminated in the Match Play Championship each of the last two years

by Watney. He birdied the opening two holes and pulled away when Watney missed too many short putts. He advanced to the quarterfinals with a 3-and-2 win. Rory McIlroy also can go to No. 1 by winning the Match Play. He advanced with a 3-and-1 win over Miguel Angel Jimenez.

Hunter Mahan won big over Steve Stricker, and Matt Kuchar defeated Martin Kaymer.

for KU couldn’t have been much worse. The Jayhawks were 1-for-17 from the floor (6 percent) with three shot-clock violations and four airballs.

Henrickson estimated that between six and eight of her team’s first-half possessions were wasted when KU couldn’t get into its offense.

“What you have to accept responsibility and hold yourself accountable for is when we call plays, you’ve got to know what you’re doing,” Henrickson said. “You’ve got to be dialed in and focused.”

Aishah Sutherland put in a jumper with 4 seconds left in the half to keep KU from history. The Jayhawks’ 16 first-half points were only two more than the least-ever by a Big 12 opponent against Baylor; KU tied that mark last year when it had only 14 first-half points in a 76-37 loss to the Bears on Jan. 19, 2011.

— KU coach Bonnie Henrickson Sutherland, who entered as the team’s leading scorer with Carolyn Davis out, struggled with Baylor’s size. The 6-foot2 forward finished with just two points on 1-for15 shooting. Her previous low for points in a game this season was seven.

“When I saw the stat sheet right now, I was a little shocked. I knew she missed most of them, but I didn’t know she went 1-for-15,” Goodrich said. “That’s just not like Aishah.”

Goodrich led KU with 14 points on 5-for-19 shooting.

Forward Brittney Griner paced Baylor (29-0, 16-0) with 20 points on 9-for-14 shooting with eight rebounds.

KU (18-10, 7-9) will play host to Oklahoma State at 7 p.m. Wednesday on Senior Night.

Lions boys win regional title

Lawrence wrestlers in third at 6A state

By Benton Smith

J-W Staff Reports

HIGH SCHOOL BOWLING

basmith@ljworld.com

When it comes to bowling, Lawrence High senior Riley Gentry operates best by distracting himself from the task at hand.

During a Class 6A regional tournament Friday at Royal Crest Lanes, in between frames, Gentry’s mind wandered to math and chemistry. Those subjects became the topic of conversation for him and Lions coach Paula Bastemeyer.

While differential equations and practical applications of mathematic formulas came up as Gentry tried to take his mind off bowling, some simple arithmetic at the end of the tournament showed that his 707 series made him a regional champion and propelled Lawrence to a team title.

“If you’re in the rhythm, then it’s all muscle memory,” Gentry said of his process. “The worst thing you can do is psych yourself out.”

Gentry’s calm demeanor led the way for LHS, as he, Austin Bennett (637), Pace Leggins (610), Isaiah Ross (587), Connor Daniels (580) and Tre Sexton (553) helped the Lions finish 18 pins ahead of runner-up Derby and 114 in front of third-place Topeka Washburn Rural, which also qualified their teams for the state tournament.

The 707 Gentry rolled wasn’t only a tournamentbest but also a season-high for Lawrence. Ross, who was happy to have his senior year extended, said Gentry came focused and ready to work.

“He’s the most calm dude we have here. No nerves, no nothing,” Ross said. “He knew we won, and he’s sitting there straight-faced. I think that speaks everything about his sportsmanship, his

LAWRENCE HIGH BOWLERS, FROM LEFT, Austin Bennett, Isaiah Ross and Tre Sexton, wait between rolls during a Class 6A bowling regional Friday at Royal Crest Lanes. heart and everything.”

The regional tournament provided LHS with some redemption, Gentry said, as the bowlers rallied together to take the championship.

“It feels really good,” he said, “because we’ve felt like we’ve thrown a lot of series away throughout the entire year.”

While Free State’s boys finished sixth, the Firebirds still managed to advance two of their bowlers to state. Juniors Jordan Jump (647) and Chase Taylor (609) both made the cut by having one of the top six individual series from a non-qualifying team.

After his first couple of rolls in the first game weren’t too successful, Jump decided to switch the ball he was using.

“As soon as I did that, I knew it was gonna be a good day,” he said.

Jump followed up a 189 in the first game with scores of 226 and 232.

Taylor, with a 214 in the first game, got off to a better start and hung around with a 199 and 196 in his final two games to snag the next-tolast available state berth.

Said Jump: “I’m really happy about that, because I didn’t want to be alone going to state.”

LHS sophomore Warren captures spot at state Tears in her eyes, getting smothered with hugs from family members, Lawrence sophomore Kierstan Warren was genuinely surprised when she found out she had qualified for state Friday afternoon.

Warren, who bowled a 560 series, already had been announced as the 10thplace medalist at the girls regional, but her second and third g a m e s Warren weren’t up to her high standards and she feared she wouldn’t crack the list of six non-qualifying team members to advance to state.

“In my opinion, I did not bowl my best today,” Warren said. “I had a horrible lane.”

It turned out Warren

didn’t have much to worry about. She had the secondbest score of bowlers who weren’t on the rosters of regional champ Junction City, runner-up Topeka Washburn Rural or thirdplace Derby. The Lions finished eighth at the regional and Free State was ninth, with no state qualifiers.

It will be up to Warren to represent the LHS girls program well at state, she said, adding that it was unfortunate she would be the only city girls bowler competing.

She had been looking forward to this opportunity since she missed qualifying for state by just four pins as a freshman.

“I really didn’t think I was gonna make it,” Warren said, “because we went up against very competitive and very good bowlers.”

FSHS senior Haley Hanson’s 465 series led the Firebirds. Freshman teammate Bri Martin was just one pin behind Hanson at 464.

The 6A state tournaments are Thursday at Northrock Lanes, in Wichita.

WICHITA — Lawrence High was in third place in the team standings after the first day of the Class 6A state wrestling tournament at Hartman Arena.

With 99 1/2 team points, Lawrence trails defending champ Wichita Heights in second place by a point.

Manhattan has a commanding hold on first place with 137 1/2 team points.

The Lions’ Hunter Haralson (126), Reece Wright-Conklin (182), and Brad Wilson (220) wrestle today in the championship match of their weight classes. Tristan Star (106), Garrett Girard (113), Caden Lynch (132) and Nick Pursel (170) wrestle today in the consolation semifinals, vying for a spot in the third-place match.

Coach Brad Stoll downplayed the importance of making the list.

“It’s nice to be recognized, but it’s about where you finish, not where you start,” he said. “We are more focused on the end of the season.”

LHS, with six returning starters (Garrett Cleavinger, CJ Roush, Matt Sutliffe, Jake Vinoverski, Shane Willoughby and Troy Wil-

loughby), is the only team from the state of Kansas in the top 50.

The Lions last appeared in the preseason rankings at No. 33 in 2010.

According to baseballamerica.com, the staff of Baseball America and the National High School Baseball Coaches Association compile the top 50 rankings. In-season polls of the top 25 will be conducted every two weeks and released every other Tuesday during the season.

The first in-season poll will be released March 13.

The final poll, a Top 50, will be released in June.

CITY SHOWDOWN

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

City hoops CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

Freebies priceless for one family The players wore pink warm-up shirts and socks. Some even tied pink shoelaces. The cheerleaders had pink ribbons in their hair. To heighten cancer awareness, it was Pink Night at the old Lawrence High gymnasium, better known as “The Jungle,” for the Friday night city basketball showdowns.

The theme couldn’t have meant more to anybody than to the unquestioned star of the evening, little LHS sophomore Harley Phelps.

She hadn’t scored a single point for the “C” team all year. She scored two points in her varsity debut Friday night, making a pair of free throws late in the game. No matter what happens this afternoon in Allen Fieldhouse, where No. 3 Missouri visits No. 4 Kansas in the final Big 12 regular-season game between bitter rivals, Phelps already clinched the honor of hitting the two biggest shots in Lawrence this weekend. And they were made for the team that lost, 79-45. Not even Shane Willoughby’s bigtime clutch drive at the buzzer, which won the boys game for the Lions, could top Phelps.

With 1:45 left in the girls game, the two coaches, Nick Wood of LHS and Free State’s Bryan Duncan, met at midcourt, where Wood reminded his friend Duncan that No. 21 was the player he wouldn’t mind seeing get to the freethrow line.

Phelps had only attempted one free throw for the C team. Now here she was at the line in front of 2,000 spectators.

She made the first and players from both benches erupted. She made the second and now everybody went wild.

Harley had just stopped the spinning world of her father and pretty mom, Paul and Christina Phelps, and made them the happiest couple on earth. Fifteen years after they gave her the gift of life, Harley thanked them with extraordinary timing. Harley’s dad was diagnosed with terminal cancer, Stage 4 glioblastoma — a brain tumor — six weeks ago.

“I can’t tell you how proud of her I am tonight,” Paul Phelps said.

“I am tremendously blessed to have the opportunity to see that happen. However good that made her feel, triple that effect for me. She made the box score!”

So she did. And so calmly.

“I thought I would be nervous, but there was just so much adrenaline, I didn’t even have time to be,” Harley said.

As for what she thought her free throws meant to her dad, all she could say was, “I can’t even explain it. I’m just happy our coach gave me the opportunity to play.”

Harley’s dad remains an upbeat example for all of us. His words paint a beautiful picture of him smelling roses.

“I’m not naive, but there are a lot of people who have it tougher,” he said. “There are people in the world who are starving. At least I can eat.”

And thanks to his daughter delivering for him twice in the clutch, every bite of life will taste that much better.

LAWRENCE HIGH SOPHOMORE KIONNA COLEMAN, CENTER, IS CAUGHT in a double-team between Free State’s Kennedy Kirkpatrick, left, and Scout Wiebe on Friday at LHS.

FSHS girls sprint past rival LHS

By Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

The Free State High girls basketball team played Friday night’s game at the pace they prefer to play. They were going faster than a father rushing his wife to the hospital to give birth.

Come to think of it, maybe that’s why Firebirds coach Bryan Duncan had his players build such a big lead early in the game — in case he got the phone call he’d been expecting. He had a team manager manning his phone all night in case his wife, Angela, called to inform the coach it was time to put the pedal to the metal to take her from their home in Basehor to St. Luke’s South Hospital in Overland Park for the birth of their first child.

Her due date came and went Tuesday.

With a record-breaking first quarter on the way to a record-breaking point total in a 79-45 victory against city rival Lawrence High, the Firebirds made sure to give their coach the big early lead he desired.

Scoring more points than a Free State girls team ever had in a quarter, the Firebirds took a 32-8 lead into the second period.

As if opponents didn’t have enough to worry about while preparing a scouting report aimed at keeping the Firebirds from scoring at such a rapid rate, sophomore Scout Wiebe gave them one more worry to occupy their thoughts.

Wiebe, a 5-foot-8 sophomore who normally comes off the bench and makes her biggest impact playing intense defense, diving for loose balls, setting screens, rebounding, and efficiently performing numerous other duties that don’t make their way onto the box score, showed another dimension Friday night.

Wiebe drew a starting assignment because Abbey Casady’s duties with the school’s choir took her to Wichita, from which she couldn’t return until close to game time. It had been pre-arranged that Wiebe would start in her place, and she responded by scoring a career-high 12 points. They all came in the first quarter.

“They did?” Wiebe said after the game. “I didn’t know that.”

She did know why she and her teammates were able to break a singlegame school scoring record for the third time this season and why the Firebirds (15-5) were able to set a single-season record for victories on the night

they defeated the Lions (6-14).

“We’re playing good team basketball,” Wiebe said. “We’ve grown closer this year, and I think that’s why we play so well as a team.”

Guard Kennedy Kirkpatrick led the Firebirds with 21 points and Lynn Robinson (15 points) and Jackie Garcia (10 points) also reached double figures for the team that does a nice job of taking care of the basketball while playing at such a fast pace.

Wiebe’s big first-quarter might have surprised some coaches, but Lawrence High’s Nick Wood, who has coached youth basketball with Duncan in the summers, didn’t blink.

“I’ve known Scout for years,” Wood said. “I knew she would make life hard on me one day. That day arrived today.”

Free State hit 13 of 16 shots in the whirlwind first quarter.

“It’s amazing,” Wood said of the first-quarter shooting. “They’ve got girls who can shoot.”

At times, the Lions did a nice job of working the ball to Kionna Coleman (12 points) on the block, but with Free State doing such a good job of so swiftly turning 18 LHS turnovers into points, it made it difficult to cut into the huge lead Free State built out of the blocks.

With those five on the floor, Lewis didn’t care who had the ball when it got to that point.

“Our guys are in the moment,” the coach said, “and it’s their game to win or lose.”

After playing most of the night in his usual No. 20 jersey, Shane had to trade it in for a No. 15 in the fourth quarter after his lip got busted.

“There was a lot of blood in that game,” he said following an eight-point effort. “Bryce was bleeding, Logan was bleeding, I was bleeding. It was just an aggressive game.”

It was his aggression in the heat of the tied rivalry game that set up a moment the junior will carry with him for a long time. With every pair of eyes in the gym, including those of former Kansas University men’s basketball coach Larry Brown, watching, Shane said he drove with the intention of drawing a foul, but he “happened to make it.” His shot fell and the Lawrence faithful erupted.

“It’s kind of a dream, you know, to make a game-winner in the Lawrence High-Free State game,” Shane said. “It was crazy.”

The Lions, who unexpectedly lost senior guard KJ Pritchard to a rightankle injury hours before the Senior Night game, led 33-29 entering the fourth quarter. They missed their first six shot attempts and only managed three points via the free-throw line (Montes de Oca made one of two, and Henrichs gave LHS a 36-34 lead by cashing in two with 1:12 left) before Shane’s gamewinner.

Free State, meanwhile, got six of its seven fourthquarter points from Frantz, who went 3-for-4 in the final four minutes.

Law said some miscues cost his team in the devastating loss.

FREE STATE SENIOR CAMERON DABNEY (14) TRIES TO SHOOT over Lawrence High senior Logan Henrichs (32) on Friday at LHS. “I thought everybody played really well,” Law said. “We were too careless with the ball in the first half, careless on a couple of critical possessions in the fourth quarter.”

The Firebirds led 20-17 at the half after holding LHS to 2-for-13 shooting in the second quarter. However, Mosiman caught fire from long range in the third quarter.

“The first half I wasn’t making anything,” Mosiman said of missing his first four field-goal tries of the night.

That changed in a big way in the third, thanks in part to some advice from Pritchard, who told Mosiman to keep shooting.

The junior did, and connected on three straight from downtown, helping Lawrence take a 28-27 lead. After Buffalomeat scored on a put-back, and Free State’s Shawn Knighton later answered with a bucket in transition, Mosiman closed his thirdquarter performance in spectacular fashion with a three-pointer from about eight feet behind the arc on the left wing. He scored all 12 of his points in the third.

Although FSHS had Gabe Patterson on the floor this time around (he injured his hip in pregame warm-ups prior to an LHS overtime win at Free State on Dec. 16), the Lions didn’t allow the se-

nior forward to get many looks at the rim. Patterson had a game-best nine boards but scored only six points on 2-for-3 shooting.

Overall, Free State hit 16 of its 38 attempts (42 percent), while Lawrence was only 14-for-45 (31 percent).

However, the Firebirds were 2-for-8 at the foul line, and the Lions made six form long range (two

by Shane, four by Mosiman) while FSHS connected on just two threepoint tries (Cole Moreano and Frantz each hit one.)

Things like that tend to be the difference in this rivalry, and Law couldn’t help but recall how Free State had come out on the winning side in some close games a year ago, before LHS snagged the last two victories.

“They’re a year older.

They’re a year wiser,” Law said. “They made the play they needed to to win the game.”

KANSAS VS. MISSOURI

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

End of the Border War … in their words

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Like hordes of Kansas University basketball players before him and those who wore the Crimson and Blue after him, Greg Dreiling circled a couple games on the schedule before the start of each and every season.

“I always loved to play against Missouri. What Jayhawk doesn’t?” said Dreiling, a 7-foot center out of Wichita, who went

Scot Pollard KU center 1993-97 “It makes sense because I know what it’s about. Obviously it’s about money,” said Pollard, who played in the NBA for 11 years and now dabbles in broadcasting and other ventures.

“As far as college athletics goes ... it’s about rivalries, not about money. It’s about the competition. It’s about history.

There are a lot of rivalries out there, but few actually stem from real bloodshed.

This rivalry stems from real bloodshed, real war.

To lose that rivalry is a huge thing.

“I’m sure the schools will end up playing each other occasionally, if not every year, but to lose them in a conference ...

I’m not sad to see Missouri leave, but I am really sad to see the rivalry die.

I don’t hate anybody but I really dislike those Tigers.

We really loved beating those Tigers,” added Pollard, who went 5-4 versus MU.

Rex Walters KU guard 1991-93 “It’s awful. They broke tradition and natural rivalries for money I guess. I loved playing against Mizzou and we will miss those type of games.... but we still have K-State,” said Walters, head coach at University of San Francisco who went 6-0 vs. MU. “I just remember Norm (Stewart, who went 3341 versus KU) yelling at Richard Scott and myself.

We really didn’t know what he was saying — I would have definitely said something back if I understood him .... bad habit that coach (Roy) Williams couldn’t break me from — so Rich and I looked at each other and started laughing ... that and the score probably made him even more upset.

“I also remember Anthony Peeler’s 43 point game at the fieldhouse (in 1992). Coach Williams kept saying that one guy couldn’t beat us and I knew he was right, but I have to admit that I was going to hear it from my teammates that ‘AP’ went for 40-plus on me. I just want to go on record and say that Alonzo (Jamison) was actually matched up on him most of the game.

Sorry Zo, you got me a lot of lay-ups and guarded my man 90 percent of the time but this is the truth about the match-up.”

5-1 versus the Tigers from 1983-86. “I talk to former players. They have a dislike for Kansas State or whoever else, but for some reason Missouri gets under your skin just a little bit more.

I don’t Dreiling k n o w what it is ... the hate for Missouri

is instilled. Does it go all the way back to the burning down of Lawrence?”

Dreiling asked.

“I don’t know, but certainly when Ronnie, Calvin and I were seniors, we wanted to make sure we took care of those guys and went out on a good note.”

The Jayhawks, led by Dreiling, Ron Kellogg and Calvin Thompson, crushed MU, 100-66, on Feb. 11, 1986, in the final Border War conflict of their careers.

“Our greatest joy was

hearing (MU coach) Norm Stewart screaming at his players during timeouts.

That was enough for us,” said Dreiling, who went on to play 10 years in the NBA and is now an advance scout for the 2011 NBA champion Dallas Mavericks. “When we put a beatdown on those guys like my last game at home my senior year ... Norm made them aware of what was happening. I didn’t want to be in that huddle,” Dreiling added with a laugh.

One might figure Dreiling would be a little melancholy knowing today’s KUMU meeting (3 p.m., Allen Fieldhouse) will likely be the last played between the schools in Lawrence.

Not so.

“I hate to see one of the longest rivalries in the history of college sports come to an end, but I’m a realist.

I understand what it’s all about. Of course we all know what it’s all about,” Dreiling said, referring to the perceived extra dol-

lars MU will make as the Tigers move to the SEC next season, compared to the Big 12. “You move on.

At Kansas we don’t care what anybody else does.

We just care about what we do and continue to put forth our best efforts and be Kansas Jayhawks. We don’t need them to be a Jayhawk.”

Here are some other former KU players’ takes on MU’s move to a new league and the conclusion of the Border War:

5-4 versus the Tigers.

“Let’s face it, the SEC has historically been a football conference, with a sprinkling of some basketball teams with Kentucky being the constant. We’re going to miss beating up on them on a regular basis.

“Am I sad? No, I don’t play anymore,” wrote Newton, Washington Wizards’ vice president of player personnel. “My best memory of the KUMU rivalry is that after coach (Larry) Brown was left with no other choice after Archie (Marshall) went down with an ACL, Bill Pope our team manager didn’t have any playing eligibility left and neither did Chuck Newman, the equipment manger.

So I paid coach Brown to assure he would play me (just kidding).

“My first home game as a starter was against Missouri. I proceeded to rip the Band-Aid off Derrick Chievous and gave him 21 points and five rebounds as we beat them, 78-74.

They were ranked high that year if I recall. I also remember (fans yelling), ‘Sit down Norm! Sit down Norm!’

“In Columbia, I remember jumping over Mike Sandbothe and dunking on him. That shouldn’t have been a big deal because he couldn’t jump, but he would always try to play dirty. Also, the Antlers (MU student cheering section) saying things that were outside the lines of good sportsmanship,” Newton added.

year were memorable — at home when we drilled them pretty good (105-73) and Kirk (Hinrich) went off (23 points). The place was rocking. At Mizzou when we capped off the 16-0 Big 12 conference season (95-92 win).

“After we won my senior year, I was running off the court and a Mizzou fan threw a cup and hit me. The funny thing was the CBS camera was on me for some unknown reason so it was on TV and it definitely gave my friends and family a laugh.

Also my senior year the Antlers kept calling my apartment phone. The night before our home game my roommate was on the phone with them for 45 minutes and they thought it was me. We always hang a KU flag on our locker room door at opposing arenas. At Mizzou a couple of years ago they took it down and said we couldn’t do that. Needless to say we put it back up and it stayed up (and we won).”

who is ranked or not, who is better, none of that matters. The game is gonna be great, it’s gonna be close and each team is gonna fight till the end. And personally I loved it. I loved it when we played home, and away, it was great and one of the best games ever!”

cally the Big 12 is just as strong if not stronger than any other conference in all sports and therefore a bad move. I don’t know all of their reasoning behind the move since most all of the talks and everything went on while I was in Europe (playing pro ball in Belgium for a couple months).

“I’m sad that they won’t be in the same league any more and KU be guaranteed to play them twice each year. However, since they left I don’t think we owe them anything and have to schedule them again,” Reed added. “If KU wants to later on when it’s beneficial for them then I’d be all for it.

I loved watching the KUMU rivalry growing up so will miss watching it once again now that I’m finished playing at Kansas.”

He noted: “I was so excited every year knowing we were going to play them twice and all of us players are a little bit more amped to play that game. It may be cliched since it’s the most recent memory and seems to be the one people talk about, but it would be when I hit the three last year at MU in the corner and yelled at the crowd. I didn’t say anything in specific just got caught up in the moment I guess. I mainly remember seeing the replay on the Internet after the game and seeing coach (Kyle) Keller go crazy, which was hilarious to me.”

MU. “As much as we hate each other it is still always a great time for everyone when we play. At the end of the day it comes down to pride and passion for your university and beating Missouri. I feel the worst for our fans. Our students camp out the longest for that game and our alumni look forward to that game the most.

Missouri is so easy to hate and beating them always feels amazing! But leave it up to Missouri to screw up a good thing.”

He wrote: “I remember the first time playing in Columbia and hearing all the chants from The Antlers. One of them called my AD at Villa Park and tried to dig up dirt on me which was obviously unsuccessful.

Calling themselves the Antlers.... really? I remember beating them in Columbia my sophomore year and how amazing Ryan Robertson played.

He was lights out! I also remember coach getting upset for us celebrating on their court because it was a lack of class and we should have acted like we have been there before. The students always sold shirts that said ‘Muck Fizzou’ which I thought was hilarious. My senior year I wore one under a white Dri-Fit shirt while I was shooting around before the game and the students picked up on it so I had to do a quick change before coach saw. By the way, we won that day.”

Clyde Lovellette KU center 1950-52 “Money ... it seems to me that’s all it is.

T h e y think they can make m o r e m o n e y in that league r a t h e r than the Big 12,” said Lovellette, who went 6-1 vs. the Tigers. “Sure it’s sad (to see MU leave). It’s a tradition for 100 or more years. You take that out of the mix then you’ve got to have another rival. You go with K-State. If they leave, who are you going to be a rival with?”

Asked whether the K-State or MU games meant more, Lovellette said: “Both. I don’t know if I hated them (Tigers) but it was a tradition that you did hate them. You’d get on the court and just play.”

Brett Ballard KU guard 2000-02

“I hate the fact Mizzou is joining the SEC. I think the KU-Mizzou rivalry is terrific Milt Newton for both KU forward programs and for college basketball. I am very sad 1985-89 that KU and Mizzou won’t “The SEC is not in our be playing anymore, but region so I understand KU’s and it’s funny coach (Bill) Self’s stance to think of on not scheduling them MU playfor the time being,” said ing in that Ballard, Baker Univerconfersity’s second-year hoops ence,” said coach who went 3-1 vs.

Newton, MU. who went “Both games my senior

Terry Nooner KU guard 1997-2000 “I think it’s a bad move to join the SEC. I don’t t h i n k they can compete in any sports, especially football and women’s basketball.

I also hate to see the rivalry end. Being a Kansas City kid, the KU-MU rivalry runs very deep and I’ve been around it all my whole life,” said Nooner, assistant women’s basketball coach at Southern Illinois University, who went 5-4 vs. MU. “My favorite memories were my freshman year and Raef’s (LaFrentz) crazy tip dunk ... and my senior year getting to start, and Keyon Dooling jumping over Ashante Johnson ... but the home refs called charge!” wrote Nooner.

Sasha Kaun KU center 2005-08 “I think it’s sad for the conference. We are losing a great school, but I’m sure they have their reasons to go, so all we can do is wish them luck,” said Kaun, who went 6-2 versus MU. “Of course,” the CSKA Moscow pivot added, asked if he was sad that the schools would not play again in the regular season. “It’s one of the best rivalries in sports.

Those games meant so much to the people of Lawrence and Columbia and all the area in between. All the bragging rights about who is better and just in general about who went to KU and who went to MU. I just hope that the schools will find a way to figure out to play each other out of conference and continue the great tradition of KU-MU games.

“MU is definitely one of the hardest teams to play,” Kaun wrote. “Just like any other rivalries no matter

Scooter Barry KU guard 1985-89 “I realize that the world is constantly evolving. You can call me oldfashioned, but I don’t like all of the conference shuffling that destroys traditional rivalries! KU versus Mizzou will always be some of my fondest memories,” said Barry, who went 5-4 versus Mizzou. “I’m very sad for the future players that won’t be able to enjoy the special atmosphere that surrounded the rivalry.

“There were always great battles with Derrick ‘the Band-Aid man’ Chievous, Doug Smith, Anthony Peeler and Byron Irvin to name a few,” added Barry. He retired as a player in 2008 after a long career in Europe and is currently pursuing new opportunities after working three years in the corporate office of 24 Hour Fitness in the Bay Area.

“The Antlers that protected the sidelines of the Hearnes Center were some of the most creative hecklers I’ve ever seen!”

Barry wrote. “The bleachers seemed to run almost vertically up from the court creating a cylinder of attention on the visiting players. You could see fans through the glass backboards while shooting free throws. Standing-room-only to be sure that the ‘Chicken-hawks’ don’t escape with a victory.

“One year, the rumors of coach Brown leaving were floating around and we came out to an oversized cardboard construction of a bus towing a smaller cardboard construction of a U-Haul with giant headshots of coach (Ed) Manning driving coach Brown across the court! Even the coaches had to crack smiles as they taunted them on the bench. They made giant cartoon characters of players. I remember Kevin Pritchard depicted as a Wolf-Boy and a feminine version on me that was accompanied by chanting, ‘Scooter, you’re the daughter your father always wanted!’ They were hilarious!”

Tyrel Reed KU guard 2008-11 “I’m not a big fan of them leaving the league,” said Reed, who went 7-1 vs.

Mizzou.

I guess if they think it’s going to be better for them with exposure or academics, then that’s fine. However, I believe that athleti-

Wayne Simien KU forward 2001-05 “It’s disappointing anytime you see a team from the conference that you played in and love l e a v e , whether it’s Colorado, Nebraska, Texas A&M or MU,” said Simien, who went 8-2 against the Tigers.

“No,” he added, asked if he was sad the series was ending, “because KU finishes the series on top at 170 something and 90 something (KU leads 17195) — advantage KU. I’m looking forward to playing someone else.

“My favorite memory in Columbia was my junior year when they made the mistake of scheduling us to play the last game ever in the Hearnes Center. We won, 84-82, when David Padgett hit a shot at the buzzer. Also my freshman year when we completed our 16-0 Big 12 undefeated season in Columbia. In Lawrence, it was the year we were both in the top 10 and we smashed them.”

Eric Chenowith KU center 1998-2001 “It is truly upsetting that KU will not play MU any more. It is the second oldest college football game and we have played t h e m since 1907 in basketball,” said Chenowith, assistant coach at Villa Park (Calif.) High School, who went 4-4 vs.

Ted Owens coach 1964-83 “When I look around and see the geographic nonsense that is going on ...

West Virginia is a perfectly good university and they will bring a nice program in, but it’s crazy,” said Owens, who had a 26-20 coaching record vs. MU. “Once you get past football and basketball, for your other sports you have to travel with your teams. It’s just crazy.

“Missouri makes a little more sense, At least they border on Arkansas.

There will be no more Texas-Texas A&M rivalry — no more Kansas-Missouri rivalry. That’s sad. I think it was a great rivalry.

I am saddened by the fact the Big 12 is breaking up, a wonderful conference.”

Of the series with MU Owens added: “Norm Stewart did a great job there. He took over a program that wasn’t very good and developed it into a team competing for conference honors on many an occasion.

“As sad as it is, after all these years the anti- and pro-slavery battles across the border and so forth, there still are ill feelings between Missouri and Kansas. You would notice in recent years things Missouri (fans) wore. I’m not pointing at Missouri.

We did enough things that were probably not right, ourselves, but even as late as two or three years ago they wore T-shirts praising Quantrill for killing all the people in Lawrence, at the Kansas-Missouri game (football) in Kansas City.”

KANSAS VS. MISSOURI

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

Keith Langford KU guard 2001-05 “Ultimately, I am disappointed, but at the same time there is a part of me that says good riddance,” wrote Maccabi Tel Aviv standout Langford, who went 8-2 vs. Missouri.

“Early in my career I knew Missouri was our rival but I didn’t have a complete understanding why. You hear ‘Border War’ and assume that the meaning behind it all is the fact the Kansas and Missouri are neighboring states. I kept this understanding all in school spirit until a day in history class when I found out the true meaning of Kansas and Missouri despising one another. Learning about Bleeding Kansas, Missouri being a slave-advocating state and details of the Missouri compromise has a profound effect on my views of the rivalry.

“I changed from ‘Oh, I don’t like these Mizzou

guys,’ to ‘How could they go to this school?’ I went from thinking that the Mizzou fans in the stands cheering against, attempting to spit on, and yelling racial slurs at us were just showing school spirit to ‘maybe this does have a deeper meaning.’ In turn it gave me a deep disdain for the entire build-up of the game and the fact that it was still called the Border War. Of course I understand that guys who enroll there probably are not aware and probably don’t care as long as they can get a degree and further their basketball careers, but I do believe that awareness of what you represent and ‘fight’ for are critical.

I’m also saying that using hindsight. So I do bid the ‘Border War’ adieu but we all would be naïve to think that we have seen the last of it.

“Two games come to mind. The first one is my sophomore year in Columbia. I remember going in there so focused as a team. We blocked out everything. Media, fans, even girls on campus.

Well maybe not the latter but needless to say we were ready. The play that stands out more than

anything is me coming off a curl and passing it to Aaron Miles and from about 25 feet with the defense hanging all over him slings it in from his hip! That play and game (79-74 win) still gives me goose bumps! Mike Lee’s big offensive rebound and a kick out to Kirk for another bomb from downtown late in the game too.

Damn I love that team.

The best Mizzou game was shutting down the Hearnes Center my junior year (84-82 win). Back and forth game early, I made a couple threes, Arthur Johnson had it going too. I may have had my favorite KU dunk during my career that game — on Johnson I might add! I just remember Wayne (Simien) being huge down the stretch as he was most of that year. I remember the end as time was expiring and coach Self gave me the ball and told me to make a play.

Drove right (yes right lol) double-team came and hit David Padgett for a fivefoot baseline shot. Big shot for a freshman! DP I don’t know where you are now but damn that was a helluva shot bro! Great memories and great times... I can’t wait until Saturday!”

“There’s a lot of things I could have done. I was posting up against a smaller guy (6-8 Ricardo Ratliffe, six points, four boards vs. KU) so I need to definitely take advantage of that and hopefully open things up for Thomas (Robinson, 25 points) and for Ty (Taylor, 21 points) to be able to drive into the lane. We have a lot of size.

Last time I didn’t take advantage of that at all.”

Guard Marcus Denmon (29 points) hit six of nine threes on a day MU cashed in 10 of 22 to KU’s six of 16.

“We actually guarded them pretty well, but we didn’t guard him (Denmon), in large part because he made some great plays,” Self said. “It’s kind of a ‘pick your poison’ deal because if you stretch out too far, then that puts the ball in (Phil, point guard) Pressey’s hands to make plays. We have to find a rhythm and a balance on how to keep them out of the paint and still pressure outside. (Michael) Dixon’s on a roll right now too, but their whole perimeter is terrific.”

Pressey had just two points and three assists in the first meeting, while Dixon had 15 points.

“We played hard, which we always do. We executed well. We shared the ball and handled their post presence,” MU coach Frank Haith said of the first meeting, one in which the Tigers were outrebounded, 29-26. “We did a nice job with Jeff.

He’s a tough match-up — five, six, seven inches taller than any of our post guys. We have to do our work early, to establish low-post position and have got to keep them off the glass.”

As far as intangibles, the Tigers have to handle the noise level in the fieldhouse.

“The noise ricochets off

Jeff Boschee KU guard 1999-2002 “It’s crazy how the game of basketball has brought me to the state of Missouri,” said Boschee, who went 5-3 vs. the Tigers. “I started as a high school coach in KC MO (Barstow School) and had to play all Missouri schools.

After that I took a job at Missouri Southern in Joplin, where we play a majority of our games in Missouri.

I will say people still remember an old Jayhawk like myself, and trust me I still get harassed. I have my share of Mizzou friends that are normal and aren’t crazy, but some of these Mizzou fans are brutal and relentless.

“My last year at the Barstow School, we are playing in the championship game at a tournament at Cass Midway. It is a rural Missouri school with surrounding communities attending. We were playing Adrian, and their fans —

Saturday, February 25, 2012 literally, I think — would have kicked my butt if they could have. As I am coaching, everytime something went wrong with my team, two at least 50-year-old men, with their Mizzou shirts on, would stand up and yell and harass me. I would just look down and smile at them. They had the look of death in their eyes. As the game went on, they kept yelling at me, yelling at the officials, till finally they got kicked out.

As the two were walking by me right by my bench, one would say ‘M-I-Z,’ and the other would say ‘Z-OU.’ Then one stopped right in front of me, and said to me, ‘You stupid Jayhawk arranged us getting kicked out here ‘cause we were Missouri fans!’ I just chuckled and went on my way.

“The best memories for me were obviously getting the victories there my freshman and sophomore year. My freshman year being able to help Ryan Robertson get, I believe, his only victory in Hearnes Center (73-61). It was special. The way the fans of Mizzou treated him was harsh. That was the most quiet I had ever heard that place in my four years.

| 7B

Always the Antlers, were a joy to hear. I remember them calling my parents at the late hours of the night, calling my dorm room or apartment. My freshman year, at about 3 a.m. in our hotel hallway, I remember people yelling and shouting pounding on our doors trying to wake all of us up.

I always felt on edge when going to the hotel the night before playing Mizzou.

You never knew what was going to happen.

My senior year, beating them by damn near 30 at our place (105-73).

I had never heard Allen Fieldhouse that loud. A few weeks later, we had an opportunity to go 16-0 in the Big 12. I remember like it was yesterday — Clarence Gilbert heaving a shot from three, and Kirk Hinrich grabbing the rebound and sprinting to half-court and we had escaped (95-92). I never got to experience a national championship, but that was the best feeling besides an N.C. that anyone could have experienced.

I still remember sitting in that small locker room after the game, and coach Williams speaking to us and thinking, ‘I can’t believe this just happened.’’’

Deen says she’s ready to lighten it up MIAMI BEACH, FLA. (AP) — A month after being widely criticized for revealing she has diabetes — as well as a lucrative endorsement deal for a drug to treat it — Paula Deen says she’s ready to show a lighter side to her famously fatty Southernstyle cooking.

Just don’t expect her to swear off butter.

“I am who I am. But what I will be doing is offering up lighter versions of my recipes,” the longtime Food Network star told The Associated Press during an interview at the South Beach Wine and Food Festival on Friday.

“I will have a broader platform now, trying to do something for everybody,” she said. “But you know, I’m Southern by roots. I was taught (to cook) by my grandmother and nothing I can do would change that.”

The Food Network did not immediately respond to questions regarding Deen’s new approach or whether they were involved in the decision.

Last month, Deen drew the ire of many in the health and culinary worlds when she announced that nearly three years before she had been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. Roughly 23 million Americans are believed to

have Type 2 diabetes, a condition blamed in part on obesity and unhealthy lifestyles.

During those years, she continued to promote her butter- and bacon-laden cooking on television and in books and magazines, and to profit from lucrative endorsement deals with companies such as Smithfield ham and Philadelphia Cream Cheese.

But the harshest criticism was triggered by her simultaneous announcement that she also would be a paid pitch person for drug maker Novo Nordisk’s new online program, Diabetes in a New Light, and for its pricy drug, Victoza, which she takes.

Many wondered why she appeared to wait until she had a paying endorsement before revealing her diagnosis.

“Yes, I am being compensated,” she said Friday. “It’s the way of the world. It’s the American way. But I am taking a portion of that compensation and giving it back to the (American) Diabetes Association.”

Deen would not say how much she is being paid or what portion would be donated.

And she dismissed the idea that she should have announced her diagnosis sooner, citing her long-

standing battle with agoraphobia.

“It took me 20 years to come out and stand up and say, ‘Hey, my name’s Paula and I’m agoraphobic,’” she said. “I was so ashamed, so embarrassed.

So to do it in two-and-ahalf years, I thought it was pretty good.”

Deen, who is 65, shrugged off the criticism — including by some fellow celebrity chefs — saying her fans have stood by her.

“I think a few people who have access to a TV camera and ink kind of wanted to hate on me for coming down with something,” she said. “But I so don’t worry about it.”

Deen lives in Savannah, Ga., where she ran a successful catering business, wrote a best-selling cookbook and opened an acclaimed restaurant, The Lady & Sons, before launching “Paula’s Home Cooking” on the Food Network in 1999. She won a Daytime Emmy as Outstanding Lifestyle Host in 2007, and has branched out to cookware, foods and furniture bearing her name.

Her recipes include deep-fried cheesecake covered in chocolate and powdered sugar, a quiche that calls for a pound of bacon, and a French toast casserole made with two

ENGAGEMENTS Newcomer-Seidel

Lemesany-Bartel Lori Marie Lemesany, Lawrence, and Kyle Marc Bartel, Hillsboro, were married Sept. 10, 2011, at Mary Lemesany’s farm in Lawrence, with Rod Barnes officiating.

The bride is the daughter of William Lemesany and Mary Lemesany, both of Lawrence.

The groom is the son of Doug and Pam Bartel, Hillsboro.

Matron of honor was Elissa Koelling. Maid of honor was Catrina Lemesany. Best man was Ryan Bartel. Bridesmaids were Bethany McBride, Erin Stemple and Kelsey Bartel. Groomsmen were Andrew Freeman, Brandon Emery, Graham Ratzlaff and Brandon Ratzlaff.

Flower girl was Evelyn Bartel. Ringbearer was

cups of half-and-half and a half-pound of butter.

But Deen notes that food is only one piece of the diabetes puzzle — along with genetics, lifestyle, age and race — and emphasizes that she doesn’t eat like that every day.

Following her announcement last month, Deen said she had stopped drinking the sweet tea she used to sip all day and had taken up treadmill walking. On Friday, she told NBC’s “Today” show that she has been eating less and exercising more.

Deen also has been promoting her son’s take on healthy eating, Food Network’s “Not My Mama’s Meals,” which stars Bobby Deen making lighter versions of his mother’s recipes.

Though Deen said she last month wasn’t planning to change her approach to on-air cooking, on Friday she said that when she begins shooting new episodes of her show this spring, the recipes will offer something for everyone, including people who want healthier recipes.

But it may be a while before viewers see the difference. Because filming and production schedules are set well in advance, it could take up to two years before those episodes are aired.

Dear Annie: When I married my husband, his son, “D.J.” was 6 years old. My children from my first marriage were slightly older. Right from the start, D.J. was a handful.

He was violent and often in trouble at school.

A year into the marriage, my husband and I had a son together. That same year, D.J. was diagnosed with ADHD and aggressive behavior and was put on medication.

D.J. is now 14. In the intervening years, he has killed animals, pushed his younger brother off a patio and tried to suffocate him, and recently hit him in the eye and caused permanent damage to his vision. D.J. went to live with his mother three years ago. She took him off all of his medications.

Last summer, I insisted that D.J. stay with my in-laws, who are completely blind to his flaws.

I told my husband he could visit D.J. as often

Annie’s Mailbox

as he wanted, and for six weeks, my husband spent every day with his older son, while our kids barely saw him. The problem is, D.J. will be coming to visit again this summer.

While I understand that this is my husband’s son, I must protect our younger kids from his violence.

My husband is upset that I don’t want D.J. in our home. Please help. — Scared to Death Dear Scared: D.J. sounds like a very disturbed young man who takes his hostility out on your children. It must be

‘Witchslayer’ over the line in horrible Look for Shannen Doherty (“Beverly Hills, 90210”) to appear in the fantasy film “Witchslayer Gretl” (8 p.m., Syfy). It’s a follow-up of sorts to the Hansel and Gretl story, with Hansel returning to the forest 20 years after their dust-up with the wicked witch. Speaking of wicked spells, if she’s Gretl, why isn’t he Hansl?

Just wondering.

Hansel’s out for revenge, but to his horror finds that his little sister — long thought dead — is now in cahoots with the evil witch.

This plot summary does not come close to capturing the staggeringly dreadful dialogue and performances you have to sit through to get to Doherty’s arrival. It’s as if the producers picked random women off the campuses (or beaches) of Southern California and asked them to try sorcery for a few days.

Nobody’s looking for quality here, but even the so- badthey’re-hilarious movies have their limits. And this one is way over the line. ‘‘Gretl” airs immediately following “Black Forest” (7 p.m., Syfy).

O On a similar note, Starz presents a five-episode marathon of “Spartacus: Vengeance” (8 p.m.). “Spartacus” is a higherbudget version of the over-thetop Syfy fantasies, but without basic cable censors getting in the way. In an earlier “Spartacus” review, I observed, “The violence is relentless, the nudity gratuitous and the dialogue a preposterous blend of fake Shakespeare and 21st- century obscenity. By my unscientific count, ‘Spartacus’ has the most throat slashings per hour of any show ...”

Tonight’s other highlights O Emily VanCamp and Treat Williams star in the feel-good 2011 drama “Beyond the Blackboard” (7p.m., Hallmark).

O The darkly comic supernatural series “Being Human” (8 p.m., BBC America) returns for a fourth season.

O Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway star in the 2006 fashion comedy “The Devil Wears Prada” (8 p.m., ABC).

O The Film Independent Spirit Awards (9p.m., IFC) celebrate quirkier film fare on the night before the big show.

O Mark Wahlberg, Minnie Driver, Mark Watson and Christina Perri appear on “The Graham Norton Show” (9 p.m., BBC America).

BIRTHDAYS Country singer Ralph Stanley is 85. CBS newsman Bob Schieffer is 75. Actress Karen Grassle is 70. Humorist Jack Handey is 63.

difficult for your husband to accept that his son is so violent, but we think having D.J. stay with his grandparents is sensible.

We hope your husband will consider getting some counseling for him, and also for the entire family.

Dear Annie: My 90-year-old mother is an Alzheimer’s patient.

In her younger days, she was very active in the community and belonged to many organizations and social clubs.

Mom doesn’t get out of her assisted-living community much. Occasionally, I take her in her wheelchair to a local restaurant or a doctor’s appointment. Because of her former high profile in the community, many people recognize her, but she no longer knows them. I always tell them to please identify themselves so she doesn’t get confused.

Yet even with this warning, some people insist on saying, “Hi, Mary! Do you

People cannot help but respond. If you are single, you will enjoy dating and could meet several potential suitors. If you are attached, security will build between you.

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) ++++ Your instincts guide you with money. A lucky hunch could bring positive results. You have a manner that draws many people.

Tonight: It is your call.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ++++ You smile, and others respond. Getting together with friends makes you happy. You might opt to have a spontaneous celebration or party at your place. Tonight: Vanish with a smile.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) +++++ Zero in on what is important. Friends play a big role in your plans. You might meet a pal for a late lunch and a movie. Tonight: Only where people are.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ++++ A friend supports you in gaining more understanding. An authority figure has been difficult with his or her demands. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ++++ You could be surprised by how someone touts your skills. You probably did not know how much you were appreciated. Tonight: Opt for new, whether it be a cuisine, activity or haunt.

know who I am?”

Of course, I immediately tell Mom their name and how she knows them so she can put them in context. But what amazes me is that some people have the nerve to ask, “Why did you tell her? I wanted to see if she recognized me!”

Mom knows enough to be aware that she has a problem with her memory. The shock and despair on her face during these encounters is so sad, it makes me want to smack these idiots. — El Paso Dear El Paso: It is always wise to identify yourself. It is both inconsiderate and egotistical to assume everyone knows who you are. This is especially important when dealing with a person with Alzheimer’s.

ACROSS Thanks for saying so.

Tonight: Time for a romp.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) +++ Stay anchored in the present. You might seem to be distracted to a family member, loved one or friend. Stay close to home if you can. Tonight: Order in.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) +++++ Reach out for someone at a distance. How you see a situation could change radically because of an open conversation. Tonight: Go to a neighborhood restaurant.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ++++ Before meandering out the door, balance your checkbook and make sure everything is as it should be. Whether you intend to or not, you could end up spending more than you anticipated. Tonight: Your treat.
