2nd massive storm strikes Schools, KU cancel classes again

By Matt Erickson

LJWorld.com

Regardless of weather, election will go on today ———

merickson@ljworld.com

Residents will be able to vote at any polling place in city

For the second time in a week, the city is bracing for a near-shutdown, with about 10 inches of snow in the forecast for today and Kansas University and Lawrence schools closed by the wintry weather.

The storm may also hamper voting in the primary election for City Commission, in which voters will be choosing among 11 candidates. Lawrence officials said the vote would go on regardless of the weather.

Many voters cast ballots in advance Sunday and Monday to avoid the storm.

As of Monday night, forecasts called for about 8 to 10 inches of snow in the Lawrence area during the second massive winter storm to come through the area in a week’s time. The bulk of the snow is expected to fall by noon today.

All that snow, plus powerful winds, could make for perilous driving conditions this morning.

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Despite the winter storm, today’s Lawrence City Commission primary election will go on as scheduled. Douglas County Clerk Jamie Shew said no one found anything in state law that allows for an election to be postponed under any circumstance — not even several inches of snow.

“I know many legal minds are looking at it, but I don’t think there is anything in the law that allows it to be postponed,” Shew said.

Eleven candidates are running for three seats on I will the Lawrence City Commission. Today’s primary, in be doing which voters will be allowed everything to vote for up to three candidates, will narrow the field I can to get to six candidates.

Snow brings out creative spirit in residents

By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

When the weather conditions are ripe, a peculiar and grotesque creature surfaces on Second Street in north-central Lawrence.

It doesn’t have a name, but its creator, Hans Coleman, 33, simply calls him “Snowtoad.”

The horned toad has adorned Coleman’s front yard every year for the past five years. At least until he melts.

Snowtoad is just one of numerous creatures that rose from the depths of the snow that fell on the city late last week. Lawrence residents created everything from Jayhawks to cozy igloos to a 6-foot snow replica of the Star Wars character Yoda. Or “Snowda,” if you will.

In North Lawrence, Caleb Bowen, 20, and his family eschewed uniqueness and went for size.

By Ian Cummings icummings@ljworld.com

Hans Coleman’s “Snowtoad” Bowen, with the help of a backhoe from his father’s excavating business, built a 14.5-foot snowman, which is called — what else? — “Frosty.”

Frosty started as a few snowballs, and “it just went from there,” Bowen said. And he’s been scheming about how to take advantage of the new snow that blew into town starting A “STAR WARS” YODA, or Snowda, stands at attention Monday in the yard at 1347 Monday.

His plan? Make a Mrs. Frosty.

It was the case of the sword, the blind black cat and a pair of Chinese meditation balls.

In fact, it was two cases with those same clues. So it didn’t take police too long to figure out that the crimes were connected.

At the scene of the first crime, at a home in the Easy Living mobile home park, 3323 Iowa St., a burglar apparently entered while residents were out, sometime before 5 p.m. Sunday, and made off with a medium-length Japanese-style sword, a blind black cat and the Chinese meditation balls, among other items, according to Sgt.

at least 181 days for grade 12. The law also gives districts flexibility to adjust those numbers, as long as they provide a total of 1,116 hours of instruction.

Boyle said the calendar adopted by the Lawrence school board in August had enough instructional hours to absorb the first snow day on Dec. 20. The calendar also included one day, April 26, designated to make up for an additional snow day, if necessary. That day will be used to make up for Thursday’s cancellation.

In addition, Kansas State Department of Education spokeswoman Kathy Toelkes said, the state will “forgive” one additional day for each designated snow day that a district uses. Districts are allowed to build up to five snow days into their calendar.

That means Friday’s snow day in Lawrence can be forgiven, as long as the district uses its one desig-

The snow will not stop the electoral process: State law prevents counties from changing the date of their elections. Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach directed counties to extend their advance voting hours Monday until 7 p.m., and said anyone who is determined to vote today should be careful getting to the polls.

Lawrence officials said Monday they hope to have all polling places open.

State officials urged anyone who would be heading out on the road during the storm to check 511.ks.org for road condition updates from the Kansas Department of Transportation.

“These are some of the biggest snow events since we’ve been keeping records in the state of Kansas,” Brownback said of the two storms over the past few days.

Area school districts, including Lawrence, Eudora, Perry-Lecompton, Tonganoxie and Ottawa, have canceled classes for today. Kansas University also closed its campus for the third time this semes-

nated snow day on April 26.

But today’s cancellation, as well as any further snow days this year, will have to be made up through extended hours or additional days, Boyle said.

Today’s cancellation was announced shortly after the Lawrence school board adjourned its meeting Monday night, so board members have not yet discussed how they plan to make up that cancellation.

According to the district calendar, high school seniors are scheduled to take their final exams the mornings of May 15-16.

The last day of prekindergarten classes is scheduled for Tuesday, May 21.

The last day for students in grades K-11 is currently set for Thursday, May 23. That’s also the day for final exams for high school freshmen, sophomores and juniors.

ter — the most full-day weather-related cancellations in a semester since at least 1972.

The city of Lawrence’s sidewalk snow ordinance, which allows for property owners to be fined if sidewalks aren’t cleared of snow within 48 hours after a snowfall, will not be enforced until after this week’s snowstorm, city spokeswoman Megan Gilliland said.

City crews were pretreating streets during the day Monday, Gilliland said, continuing their 24hour work since Wednesday of last week.

The snowstorm and canceled classes, coinciding with Monday night’s KU men’s basketball game, was creating a party opportunity for some Lawrence residents. Tory Roberson, shift manager at On The Rocks, 1818 Massachusetts St., said the liquor store was doing at least twice its normal Monday business. Roberson estimated that one snow day provides On The Rocks with as much business as a football tailgating Saturday in October.

One customer at the store, KU Senior Nathan Lipsky, said he was stocking up. “It’s my third trip here since the first snow,” he said, toting six-packs of beer and hard cider and with his eye on a bottle of whiskey on his way to checkout.

“I love snow days, more than anything,” he said.

House studying statute of limitations for rape

TOPEKA (AP) — A bill before a Kansas House committee would increase the statute of limitations for prosecuting sexual assaults and rapes to prevent perpetrators from escaping prosecution if they are not tried within five years.

Currently, people guilty of those crimes can escape justice if they are not arrested within five years after the crime or five years of the victim’s 18th birthday. The bill before the House Committee on Corrections and Juvenile Justice would increase the statute of limitations to 10 years after the crime or 10 years from when the victim turns 18.

The committee is ex-

pected to advance the bill this week.

Kansas is among 10 states with limits of five years or less. About 20 states have no time limit for prosecuting rape, according to the Rape Abuse and Incest National Network.

Kyle Smith, deputy director of the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, told the committee last week the state’s statute is from “the Middle Ages” when there were no fingerprints or DNA evidence. He said extending the limits to 10 years wouldn’t change the evidence needed to prosecute.

The state’s top police and sheriff’s associations also favor the bill.

Farmers’ Market

Expanded gun rights sought

Winter on the farm

——

Legislation would broaden concealed carry, limit local governments

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Parking may soon make way for produce in a portion of downtown Lawrence.

Lawrence city commissioners on Tuesday will review a request to allow the Downtown Lawrence Farmers’ Market to use a portion of a city parking lot in the 800 block of New Hampshire Street to host its weekday market.

But the request has changed from what was proposed a month ago. Leaders with the Farmers’ Market now have decided to cancel their Thursday markets and instead focus on markets on only Tuesdays and Saturdays.

They also have dropped their request to set approximately a dozen booths in a landscaped area of the city parking lot.

“We are trying to do what we can to increase our chances of getting this approved,” said Avery Lominska, a board member for the Farmers’ Market.

CITY COMMISSION Market organizers said they are badly in need of a new location for their weekday market. The market is seeking a new location for the Tuesday market because the city parking lot in the 1000 block of Vermont, which has hosted the weekday market for a number of years, has become more crowded with the development of the Treanor Architects office building adjacent to the lot.

The new request would place the weekday market in the same parking lot that hosts the popular Saturday Farmers’ Market, which is not proposed to change. Lominska said operating the weekday and Saturday markets out of the same location has become critical to the not-for-profit organization.

“It simplifies our marketing,” Lominska said. “We can promote one location pretty well, but it gets difficult for us to promote two locations.”

City commissioners will have to decide whether they think the market is worth the number of parking spaces that it will occupy. Depending on where the market is placed in the city parking

TOPEKA — Gun enthusiasts on Monday pushed for legislation that would allow concealed carry of a gun in public buildings and prohibit local governments from regulations on carrying firearms.

Currently, state, county and city governments can prevent concealed carry of guns in their buildings if they post a “gun-free” sign.

Under House Bill 2055, people with concealed-carry licenses could bring their weapons into public buildings if the building didn’t have adequate security measures, such as metal detectors and security The bill personnel. crushes local “Posting the no- control and carry sign is nullifies decitantamount sion-making to placing by locally a bull’s-eye on that fa- elected ofcility,” said ficials.”

“It only provides a risk-free, victim-rich environment for criminals,” she told the House Federal and State Affairs Committee.

Al Terwelp, state chairman of the Kansas Libertarian Party, said the measure was needed “to help protect law enforcement and lawabiding citizens who choose to exercise their Second Amendment rights in Kansas.”

But cities, counties and other groups opposed the measure.

“It is a massive unfunded mandate on local governments and the citizens they represent,” said Mike Taylor, a spokesman for the Unified Government of Wyandotte County/Kansas City. “The bill crushes local control and nullifies decision-making by locally elected officials,” he said.

Taylor said the cost of installing metal detectors and security personnel at the Unified Government’s municipal buildings would be

City manager gets positive evaluation; performance review to be continued City Manager David Corliss received good marks from Lawrence city commissioners during his annual performance review on Monday.

But Mayor Bob Schumm said the city hasn’t yet come to any conclusions about a possible increase in pay for Corliss, who serves as the Corliss top executive in City Hall.

Schumm said the commissioners will continue the performance review, which takes place in a closed door executive session, on March 26.

“We found tremendous success with the operation of City Hall,” Schumm said. “There was enthusiastic support for the city manager.”

Corliss, who was named city manager in 2006 but has been an employee of the city since 1990, currently has an annual salary of $130,000 per year.

Lawrence school district finance director Kathy Johnson said the schools provide recycling containers as part of their educational program, school recycling efforts and as a community service. After the recycling companies cover their costs, the schools receive a quarterly commission of excess revenue. During the 201112 school year, total revenue from Deffenbaugh Industries was $1,855 across district schools. GT Enterprise Inc. revenue was $105.

Johnson said the district does not track any revenues paid to elementary parent organizations that sponsor recycling containers.

Clerk Jonathan Douglass said concerns about the location had arisen.

The option would have required the removal of a hedge that serves as a screen between the parking lot and homes along Rhode Island Street. Parks and Recreation leaders also worried about the health of the other plants and trees in the landscaped area.

But Douglass said he also has heard concerns from area businesses about the amount of park-

ing the new proposal would take.

City staff members have compiled a list of other locations where the weekday Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Market could be held. They include the city-owned lot just north of the former Carnegie Library at Ninth and Vermont; the city lot at the southeast corner of Sixth and Massachusetts; the city lot along the 600 block of Rhode Island Street, just south of the Riverfront Parking Garage; and the city lot at

Second and Locust streets in North Lawrence.

Lominska said the marketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t consider any of those locations appealing because those sites would continue to keep the weekday and weekend markets in separate locations.

City commissioners â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as of Monday afternoon â&#x20AC;&#x201D; were still scheduled to meet at 6:35 p.m. today, but city officials acknowledged weather conditions could cause the meeting to be altered.

Organizers are aiming to raise $70,000 this year.

Half the money will go to Big Brothers Big Sisters, and half will go to the new Dream Maker fund set up by the Rock Chalk Revue board through the KU Endowment Association.

Moore said the goal is for that fund to eventually become like a United Way fund for students, distrib-

uting a certain amount of money each year to student service groups or even individual students in need, based on an application process.

more than $2 million. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The requirements of the bill are so burdensome and costly, many cities and counties will have no choice but to allow the carrying of concealed weapons into City Hall, recreation centers and other public buildings because they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to do otherwise,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Several groups asked to be exempted from the bill.

That included the Association of Community Mental Health Centers of Kansas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If an individual who is in crisis walks through our door carrying a concealed weapon, that situation presents a dangerous scenario, not only to our staff, but also for other patients seeking treatment,â&#x20AC;? said Michael Hammond, executive director of the mental health association.

The Kansas Board of Regents has stated its opposition to concealed carry on university campuses. But on this bill, Andy Tompkins, chief executive officer and president of the regents, said the board was neutral because of a section that authorizes the governing board of a university to decide whether to be exempted from the legislation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This local control provision allows the governing board to debate and make the appropriate decision for that particular campus,â&#x20AC;? Tompkins said.

Last year, a similar bill passed in the House but died in the Senate. Proponents believe they will be able to get Senate approval this year. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Statehouse reporter Scott Rothschild can be reached at 785-423-0668.

Spring break, the healthy way

A GROUP OF SPRING BREAKERS from Alberta, Canada, soak up the sun in Cancun, Mexico, in this March 14, 2006, file photo. Many students are preparing for spring break, but tanning, binge drinking and crash diets aren’t the way to go. Lawrence experts offered healthier alternatives.

Experts advise students planning fun in the sun

By Meagan Thomas mthomas@ljworld.com

Snow storms and cold weather make winter seem as though it’s never ending, but for many, spring break is only a few weeks away.

That means most students who plan to take trips are preparing for a week of vacation, and the usual prepping habits aren’t always the healthiest. Crash dieting and tanning may be popular ideas before heading to have fun in the sun, but professionals in Lawrence have healthier and safer alternatives to get ready for a week on the beach.

damage, but they don’t protect skin from the sun, so sunscreen or sunblock use while outside is still important.

Dean recommends using an SPF 30 and re-applying it every two to three hours or after going into the water.

Crash dieting Spring break trips usually include lying by the beach and wearing a bathing suit. Students wanting to look their best may try dieting and exercise, but between classes, work and any other activities, starting a diet and workout plan doesn’t always happen until the last minute.

Crash diets are “a societal phenomenon,” said Scott Elliott, owner of The Summit, 901 New Hampshire St. “It’s the society thing of instant gratification and Please see BREAK, page 6A

Study touts benefits of midwife-led birth centers

By Rob Roberts rroberts@shawneedispatch.com

SHAWNEE — Cathy Gordon, a Shawnee resident and co-owner of New Birth Company in Overland Park, says a paradigm shift in the nation’s approach to childbirth is under way.

More mothers are choosing midwife-led birth centers like hers over traditional hospital deliveries, Gordon said, and the release of a new outcomes study could accelerate the shift.

Her partner, Kendra Wyatt, who left a career with Cerner Corp. to help open New Birth Company in 2011, agrees.

“I truly think this study is a watershed movement in the (midwife-led) birth center movement because it empirically proves that

the outcomes of birth centers are superior to the status quo,” Wyatt said.

Lower cost, fewer C-sections Conducted by the American Association of Birth Centers, the national study shows that women who receive care at midwife-led birth centers incur lower medical costs and are less likely to have cesarean births than women who give birth at hospitals.

The study was based on more than 15,500 women at low risk of delivery complications who received care at 79 U.S. midwife-led birth centers from 2007 through 2010. It found that fewer than 6 percent of those women required cesarean births, while nearly 24 perPlease see MIDWIFE, page 6A

spring break.â&#x20AC;?

Once at a spring break destination, Drees said to be responsible. It is OK to drink, but many injuries can result from becoming too drunk.

Alcohol poisoning can be caused by drinking an excessive amount of alcohol, but other injuries are possible as a result of drinking too much and behaving in a way a person wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t when sober.

Harvey said the most important part of drinking safety is to always have one responsible person and to never be out alone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Have someone that can make decisions and look out for everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s physical and mental safety,â&#x20AC;? she said.

This is especially important when in an area that is new or unfamiliar because when intoxicated, it is easier for a person to be taken advantage of or harmed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You want to have fun, but you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to end up on CNN,â&#x20AC;? Drees said.

procrastination combined â&#x20AC;&#x201D; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all about quick results, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where we get the last-second diet.â&#x20AC;?

Crash diets may seem like a quick fix, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re often unhealthy and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work. Elliott said depending on the type of diet a person is on, it can lead to too little water and essential carbohydrates and can mentally be a big let down.

If a person wants to lose weight, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more practical to begin a few months before the event.

Elliott said if a person came to him two weeks out, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d still do his best to help him or her to meet goals, but the goal would likely have to be adjusted for it to be feasible and healthy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never too late, but letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s look into realistic goals to look the best we Sex can,â&#x20AC;?

Binge drinking Many spring breakers may expect to spend their vacation partying and drinking heavily. Some students think preparing for break includes upping their alcohol tolerance by drinking heavily the weeks before the trip.

Lawrence Memorial Hospital nurses Joan Harvey, director of the emergency department, and John Drees, community education specialist, agree that binge drinking prior to spring break is not only dangerous but pointless. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It takes months to years to build up a tolerance for daily alcohol ingestion, and continual alcohol use is alcoholism or alcohol abuse,â&#x20AC;? Harvey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no positive about trying to prepare for

cent of similarly low-risk women cared for in hospital settings required cesarean sections.

Gordon said about 250 babies have been delivered at New Birth Company, the only midwife-led birth center in Johnson County, and it has maintained a cesarean rate of only 3 percent.

Conversely, the nationwide cesarean birth rate hit 32 percent in 2010, generating concern about the short- and long-term health implications for women, their newborns and future pregnancies, according to the American Association of Birth Centers.

Gordon expects that rate to decline as the percentage of U.S. women delivering in hospitals â&#x20AC;&#x201D; currently 96 percent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; declines and access to midwife-led birth centers improves. And as the Csection rate declines, so will costs, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Given lower costs in the birth center setting, as well as low rates of cesarean birth,â&#x20AC;? the AABC found, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the 15,574 births in this study may have saved more than $30 million in facility costs.â&#x20AC;?

Wyatt said the $4,500 cost of prenatal care, primary care, labor and delivery at New Birth Company is about a third of the cost of traditional hospital care. And the care that mothers receive from her company includes an emphasis on healthy lifestyles and nutrition aimed at preventing costly chronic conditions like diabetes and heart disease, she said.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Great birth experienceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Wyatt, who worked 13 years for Cerner Corp., a Kansas City-based pioneer in the health information technology field, said she first became sold on midwife-led birth centers as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a corporate mom looking for the highest quality, most affordable, natural child birth option.â&#x20AC;?

That center was dedicated to serving an uninsured, underserved population â&#x20AC;&#x201D; clearly a group that Wyatt did not fall within. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I knew that was the best choice,â&#x20AC;? she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;because it offered the best odds of having a lowintervention birth and a great birth experience.â&#x20AC;?

Gordon, a former nurse practitioner in the Shawnee Mission Medical Center emergency department, left that position in 1995 to help found Mercy & Truth Medical Missions. That nonprofit organization continues to provide care for low-income patients at three metropolitan clinics, including one in Shawnee, while sending medical mission teams around the world.

But Gordon decided to leave her Mercy & Truth post after guiding the launch of two birth centers for low-income populations and, in the process, realizing the demand for similar centers to serve the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s insured population.

Wyatt had also witnessed that demand. And during conversations with Gordon that continued after her 2006 delivery, the two would talk about â&#x20AC;&#x153;what we could do as empowered women to change that, to make a difference,â&#x20AC;? Wyatt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eventually, Cathy gave

me a call and said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s do this,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? she added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So both of us stopped what we were doing and invested our time and treasureâ&#x20AC;? in New Birth Company.

Gordon, who is CEO of the company, and Wyatt, its chief innovation officer, said they plan to open more birth centers in the Kansas City area. And they expect others to follow suit.

Currently, 14 hospitals in the metropolitan area deliver babies, Gordon said, adding, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Get ready, Kansas City, there are going to be 14 (midwife-led birth centers).â&#x20AC;?

The risk of complications means there always will be a place for hospital maternity services, said Gordon, whose company maintains hospital and physician referral arrangements in the event of emergency situations.

But the vast majority of mothers should be having their babies â&#x20AC;&#x153;caughtâ&#x20AC;? by midwives, who are prepared to assist with labor whenever it happens and as long as it takes, she said.

Gordon said thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s often not the case in hospitals because obstetriciansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; availability is more limited, mothers want â&#x20AC;&#x153;theirâ&#x20AC;? obstetrician to deliver the baby, and the obstetrician wants to get paid for catching it. All that often leads to unnecessary birth inductions, which greatly increase the risk of C-sections, she said.

Parents need and want to be involved in the sexuality education of their children but often do not know how to discuss it at age-appropriate levels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kids Need to Know,â&#x20AC;? now enrolling for its spring session, is the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family-based sexuality education program that can equip parents and students for these conversations.

The class, geared for fifth- and sixth-graders, meets for two hours once a week for five weeks.

The course begins with a â&#x20AC;&#x153;parents onlyâ&#x20AC;? night where curriculum and materials are discussed and any questions are answered. Following Parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Night, the class continues with weekly parentchild sessions for four more weeks. One parent accompanies the child to each class.

Reproductive body parts and purposes, puberty, pregnancy, childbirth and sexually-transmitted diseases are discussed.

Decision-making skills are emphasized. Videos, games and other interactive activities help make the classes fun and interesting.

Class details: There is a girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; class, and they both meet from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the Community Health Facility, 200 Maine, in the secondfloor meeting room.

O The girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; class will be Tuesdays, March 26-April 23.

O The boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; class will be Thursdays, March 28-April 25.

The cost is $50 per family. There is a minimum enrollment of 12 families and a maximum enrollment of 15 families.

Registrations must be received one week before the first night of class. For more information or to register, visit ldchealth.org or call 843-3060. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Karrey Britt, LawrenceDouglas County Health Department

FDA approves new breast cancer drug WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Food and Drug Administration has approved a first-of-a-kind breast cancer medication that targets tumor cells while sparing healthy ones.

The drug Kadcyla from Roche combines the established drug Herceptin with a powerful chemotherapy drug and a third chemical linking the medicines together. The chemical keeps the cocktail intact until it binds to a cancer cell, delivering a potent dose of anti-tumor poison.

Cancer researchers say the drug is an important step forward because it delivers more medication while reducing the unpleasant side effects of chemotherapy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This antibody goes seeking out the tumor cells, gets internalized and then explodes them from within. So itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very kind and gentle on the patients â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no hair loss, no nausea, no vomiting,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Melody Cobleigh of Rush University Medical Center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a revolutionary way of treating cancer.â&#x20AC;?

Cobleigh helped conduct the key studies of the drug at the Chicago facility.

The FDA approved the new treatment for about 20 percent of breast cancer patients with a form of the disease that is typically more aggressive and less responsive to hormone therapy. These patients have tumors that overproduce a protein known as HER-2. Breast cancer is the second most deadly form of cancer in U.S. women and is expected to kill more than 39,000 Americans this year, according to the National Cancer Institute.

HEALTH NOTES KU production to benefit DCAP We are very excited that the playwright and alum Bill Russell is returning to Kansas University to direct the production â&#x20AC;&#x153;Elegies for Angels, Punks and Raging Queensâ&#x20AC;? this week, with the proceeds to be contributed to the Douglas County AIDS Project (DCAP).

The production is a part of Alums Come Home IV, a weekend-long event held by the KU Department of Theatre every five years. During that time, alumni return to KU to participate in productions, teach master classes and workshops, and lead panel discussions with both students and faculty. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Elegies for Angels, Punks and Raging Queensâ&#x20AC;? was developed in the late 1980s by Russell and Janet Hood in response to the growing HIV/AIDS epidemic. Inspired by the AIDS Memorial Quilt, a quilt patched together to memorialize those who have passed away from the illness, the play brings together characters both living and dead whose lives have been touched by HIV/ AIDS. The characters create a cycle of poetry, using verse, music and dance to tell their stories. The show will be staged by University Theatre at 7:30 p.m.

Thursday and Saturday, and at 2:30 p.m. Sunday in the Crafton-Preyer Theatre in Murphy Hall on the KU campus.

Reserved seat tickets are on sale in the KU ticket offices: University Theatre, 864-3982, and Lied Center, 864-ARTS, and online at kutheatre.com. Tickets are $18 for the public, $17 for senior citizens and KU faculty and staff, and $10 for all students. All major credit cards are accepted. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Elena Ivanov, Douglas County AIDS Project

Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department announced last week that it has partnered with Kansas University to form the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first â&#x20AC;&#x153;Academic Health Department.â&#x20AC;?

Among other things, the research skills of the KU Work Group on Community Health and Development will be utilized to better gauge effectiveness of services and strategies deployed by the health department.

Dan Partridge, the health departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director, said the Academic Health Department would play a pivotal role in helping his agency evaluate and document the successes and failures of policies and systems that aim to improve community health.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;A major focus will be to answer the question, how well are community-based efforts working to improve health?â&#x20AC;? said Partridge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hope the answers will help inform future decisions promoting the health and vitality of Douglas County.â&#x20AC;?

T h e Academic Health Department will also function like a teaching hospital for KU students in applied behavioral psychology, the academic home of the KU Work Group, said Vicki CollieAkers, who leads the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s research efforts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hope to ultimately create a shared research agenda with the health department â&#x20AC;Ś to merge our goals with theirs,â&#x20AC;? said Collie-Akers, who will have an office at the

health department.

The health agency and the KU work group already have a history of working together, most recently in facilitating a Comprehensive Community Health Assessment as part of the agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work toward accreditation.

Among the shortterm goals of the Academic Health Department will be implementation and evaluation of the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first Community Health Plan, another component of the health departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work toward accreditation.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to gauge how many Academic Health Departments there are in the U.S., said Kathleen Amos, who leads the AHD Learning

Community for the Public Health Foundation in Washington, D.C. There are at least 36, from a list sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s informally compiled, but she said that is likely far fewer than there actually are.

She pointed to the most recent National Profile of Local Health Departments, which indicates that about 20 percent of health departments nationwide have worked with a four-year academic institution on program evaluation, and about 35 percent have some sort of written agreement with a university. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The KHI News Service is an editorially independent initiative of the Kansas Health Institute and is committed to timely, objective and in-depth coverage of health issues and the policy making environment.

The approval will help Rocheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Genentech unit build on the blockbuster success of Herceptin, which has long dominated the breast cancer marketplace. The drug had sales of roughly $6 billion last year.

Genentech said Friday that Kadcyla will cost $9,800 per month, compared with $4,500 per month for regular Herceptin. The company estimates a full course of Kadcyla, about nine months of medicine, will cost $94,000.

Overall, patients taking Kadcyla lived about 2.6 years, compared with 2 years for patients taking the other drugs.

FDA specifically approved the drug for patients with advanced breast cancer who have already been treated with Herceptin and taxane, a widely used chemotherapy drug.

BRIEFLY Pluto moon name has ‘Star Trek’ link CAPE CANAVERAL, FLA. (AP) — An online vote to name Pluto’s two newest, itty-bitty moons is over.

And No. 1 is Vulcan, a name suggested by actor William Shatner, who played Capt.

Kirk in the original “Star Trek” TV series.

Vulcan snared nearly 200,000 votes among the more than 450,000 cast during the two-week contest, which ended Monday. In second place with nearly 100,000 votes was Cerberus, the three-headed dog that guarded the gates of the underworld.

Vulcan was the Roman god of lava and smoke, and the nephew of Pluto. Vulcan was also the home planet of the pointy-eared humanoids in the “Star Trek” shows.

Think Mr. Spock.

Actor Leonard Nimoy, who portrayed the reasonand logic-based Spock, had this to say in an email to The Associated Press: “If my people were emotional they would say they are pleased.”

Pluto’s three bigger moons are Charon, Nix and Hydra.

To be considered, the potential names for the two mini-moons also had to come from Greek or Roman mythology, and deal with the underworld.

Pluto, a planetoid or dwarf planet near the outer fringes of the solar system, was discovered by Clyde Tombaugh, who earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in astronomy from Kansas University.

Subcontractor in Plaza blast lacked permit KANSAS CITY, MO. — A cable company subcontractor suspected of rupturing a natural gas line before a deadly Kansas City restaurant explosion didn’t have an approved permit for the work, city officials said Monday.

Pat Klein, assistant city manager, said excavating without a permit is a violation of the municipal code, and can result in a fine of $500, up to six months in jail or both. He said no charge had been filed.

“The city will decide what they are going to do,” Klein said. “At this point, all the resources are going toward the fire investigation and the impending snow.”

surprising to me,” Klein said. “Getting one after the fact isn’t what’s supposed to be done.”

Brad Russell, a lawyer for Heartland Midwest, didn’t immediately re-

turn a phone call seeking comment Monday. The company released a statement last week expressing sympathy for the victims and saying the company is cooperating with authorities. “We are reserving any public comment until the completion of a thorough investigation,” the statement concluded.

Four of the injured remained hospitalized Monday at Kansas University Hospital — one in critical condition, two in fair condition and one in good condition.

Hours before the explosion, witnesses reported a strong smell of gas. But no one alerted the fire department or utility officials until the subcontractor called 911 to report having ruptured the gas pipe.

Critics said any shortKU debaters earn term gains in reading achieved by similar initia-

spot in nationals

For the 46th straight year, a team from Kansas University has qualified for the national championship tournament for college debate.

The team of senior Melanie Campbell and sophomore Amanda Gress will represent KU at the National Debate Tournament in Ogden, Utah, from March 28 to April 2.

Campbell and Gress also made the tournament in 2012, when they were the only team of two women among all 78 teams competing.

Two other KU teams advanced to the tournament’s Sweet 16 last year, with one making it to the round of eight.

Since the first National Debate Tournament in 1947, KU teams have won five national championships and advanced to the Final Four 14 times.

Campbell and Gress qualified for the national tournament by winning five of six debates at a Midwest qualifying tournament in Edmund, Okla., this past weekend, defeating teams from Kansas State University and Wichita State University, among others.

tives are offset in the long run by the stigma of being held back or the lack of adequate funding to improve early childhood programs.

Marcy Clay, assistant superintendent of Kansas City, Kan., schools said the proposal didn’t address the fact that students learn at different levels and paces.

She argued that students will need different techniques to get them up to the level they are expected to achieve, such as individual tutoring or diagnosis of their deficiencies.

Clay also said that using one test to determine reading proficiency may not provide an accurate assessment of reading skills and lead to misidentifying students who need to be held back.

However, Trudy Racine of the Kansas Children’s Service League, a children’s advocacy group, supported Brownback’s plan, saying its provisions would help the state do a better job of targeting funding at early learning programs when a child’s brain is developing. She said such efforts would be particularly beneficial to children in poverty whose parents lack the resources to provide them a good foundation for learning.

“Low-income children begin school as many as 18 months behind their more affluent peers,” Racine said. “Students who are behind in the first grade are likely to remain behind in grade four.”

The committee took no action and it was unclear when legislators would work on the bill and send it to the floor for debate.

Higher ed funding moves to full House

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — The House Appropriations Committee on Monday endorsed Gov. Sam Brownback’s higher education budget, but several committee members voiced disapproval about spending levels at public universities.

Committee Chair Marc Rhoades, R-Newton, asked why higher education couldn’t take a 10 percent cut.

Rep. Ward Cassidy, R-St. Francis, who chaired the education subcommittee, said the committee felt the universities were doing a good job.

He added, “The governor stressed not to touch higher education.”

Brownback’s budget essentially keeps higher education funding flat with several enhancements, including $10 million over two years to help build a medical education build-

ing at the Kansas University Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan. The Appropriations Committee agreed with that recommendation, which could set up a confrontation with the Senate because the Senate budget committee took that $10 million out of the budget.

Cassidy passed out an information sheet to committee members that showed a 1 percent cut to higher education would slice $7.3 million, which includes a total of $2.4 million from KU and KU Med. But the memo states that, based on previous studies, “for every 1 percent the Legislature cuts higher education, there will be a $90 million negative impact on the Kansas economy.”

The budget recommendation will next go to the full House for consideration.

TOPEKA (AP) — A Kansas Senate committee endorsed a bill on Monday requiring drug tests for recipients of certain state benefits despite questions about the cost of requiring those who fail the tests to undergo evaluations and treatment.

Republican Sen. Jay Emler abstained from voting on the measure — which passed on voice vote — over concerns about whether the state or the benefit recipient would pay for the cost of treatment. Emler also wondered what was meant by substance abuse, which wasn’t defined in the bill.

“There are some things that need to be cleared up so we don’t have those issues,” said Emler, of Lindsborg. “I don’t think the bill is ready to be passed.”

The requirement would apply to applicants for and participants in the Temporary Assistance to

Needy Families program.

Prospective employers would be required to tell the state when a job seeker who’s receiving unemployment benefits fails a company drug test or refuses to take one. That would allow the state to cut off the benefits.

If a TANF recipient is found to be using drugs, the proposal would allow for benefits to be shifted to a spouse to continue the flow of aid to children, providing the spouse passes a drug test. If that person fails, the state would attempt to continue benefits through third party, such as grandparent or other relative.

The TANF program provided about $42 million in cash benefits for about 32,000 Kansas residents, including children, during the fiscal year ending June 2012.

Senate Vice President Jeff King, the bill’s pri-

mary sponsor, said he sought the measure to be proactive to help Kansas residents improve their lives and ultimately find employment.

King, an Independence Republican, said Monday that the cost of providing testing and treatment would be less than the $2 million fiscal note attached to the bill.

“This is not punitive,” King said. “We want to identify people with drug addiction problems, give them the help they need and give them the job skills they need to kick the habit, get a good paying job and provide for their families.”

Some critics of the plan said that the Department for Children and Families already had the authority to test and treat under federal “Welfare to Work” guidelines and said the measure was unnecessary.

BUSINESS AT A GLANCE

Notable O BP put profits ahead of safety and bears most of the blame for the disastrous 2010 spill in the Gulf of Mexico, a U.S. Justice Department attorney charged Monday at the opening of a trial that could result in the oil company and its partners being forced to pay tens of billions of dollars more in damages.

The high-stakes civil case went to trial in New Orleans after attempts to reach an 11th-hour settlement failed.

Eleven workers were killed when the Deepwater Horizon rig leased by the BP exploded on April 20, 2010, unleashing the worst offshore oil spill in U.S. history.

Obama sees risks in sequester uncertainty WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama on Monday said looming automatic spending cuts are already affecting the economy, while a top administration official warned that the nation’s borders would be less secure if billions of dollars are yanked from the budget Friday.

“The uncertainty is already having an effect,” Obama said. “Companies are preparing layoff notices. Families are preparing to cut back on expenses.

The longer these cuts are in place, the bigger the impact will become.”

Despite the urgent rhetoric, there was no indication the White House and congressional Republicans were actively negotiating a deal to avoid the so-called sequester ahead of the end-of-the-week deadline.

With Congress back from a weeklong recess, House Speaker John Boehner showed little willingness to move off his long-held position that the sequester be offset through targeted spending cuts, not the package of cuts and tax increases Obama supports.

“Mr. President, you got your tax increase,” Boehner said, referring to the tax rate increases that took effect on Jan. 1. “It’s time to cut spending here in Washington.”

The $85 billion budget-cutting mechanism

could affect everything from commercial flights to classrooms to meat inspections.

The White House continued laying out in stark terms what the cuts would mean for government services, dispatching Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to warn of the implications for critical security functions.

Napolitano focused in particular on the impact to the border, saying her agency would be forced to furlough 5,000 patrol agents.

Also Monday, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said visiting hours would be cut at all 398 national parks, just as they prepare for an influx of spring and summer visitors.

Elsewhere in the government, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has said the cuts would harm the readiness of U.S. fighting forces.

Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said travelers could see delayed flights.

Education Secretary Arne Duncan said 70,000 fewer children from low-income families would have access to Head Start programs.

And furloughed meat inspectors could leave plants idled.

The sequester was designed as an unpalatable fallback, meant to take effect only if a congressional supercommittee failed to come up with at least $1 trillion in savings from benefit programs.

U.S. must shore up faith in democracy

EDITORIALS

Extra mile You can’t always beat Mother Nature, but the Douglas County clerk is doing his best to maximize participation in today’s primary election.

A

t this point, it’s not clear how adverse weather conditions may affect today’s primary election to narrow the field of Lawrence City Commission candidates.

What is clear is that Douglas County is fortunate to have a county clerk who goes above and beyond the call of duty to try to maximize voter participation in local, state and national elections.

After learning last week that a second large snowstorm was forecast for Monday night and today, County Clerk Jamie Shew made the quick decision to add advance voting hours on Sunday afternoon to give people more opportunities to cast their ballots. A thousand people who might not have been willing or able to get to the polls today responded by voting on Sunday at the courthouse. Shew also began formulating contingency plans to make sure polling places are open today “regardless of the weather.”

City commission and school board elections — and especially primaries — traditionally draw a low voter turnout in Lawrence, and weather concerns today may aggravate that problem. However, Shew’s extra efforts should serve as a reminder of the importance of every election and as an inspiration for voters to make every effort to participate in today’s primary balloting.

Good project Pending work on Ninth Street will be a boon for downtown motorists.

A

street project on tonight’s Lawrence City Commission agenda will be a major boon to downtown traffic movement.

City commissioners are being asked to move forward on plans to widen Ninth Street between Tennessee and Kentucky streets to make room for a left-turn lane and bicycle lanes. The new street will have five lanes with a dedicated turning lane for westbound vehicles turning left onto Tennessee and eastbound vehicles turning left onto Kentucky. The improvements will contribute significantly to traffic flow in the area by eliminating the current frequent backups behind vehicles waiting to turn left at those intersections. That not only will make traffic move more quickly but will lessen the possibility of accidents from vehicles making quick lane changes to get around stopped vehicles. It also will extend bicycle lanes to connect to existing lanes west of Tennessee Street.

The estimated cost of the project is $165,000, of which the state will pay 90 percent and the city 10 percent. It’s a good investment that will ease traffic flow and probably reduce accidents at a couple of downtown’s busiest intersections.

Any member of Congress who refuses to compromise on the budget sequester this week should be given this mandatory assignment: Read “Democracy in Retreat: The Revolt of the Middle Class and the Worldwide Decline of Representative Government.”

Author Joshua Kurlantzick examines the spate of retreating democracies over the last two decades and finds something startling.

The middle classes — supposedly the bulwark of democracy worldwide — are often turning against it. As our governmental paralysis continues, the same thing could well happen here.

Two decades ago, Francis Fukuyama famously argued, in “The End of History and the Last Man,” that the world would inevitably evolve toward liberal democracy and market economics. Yet 2013 represents the seventh consecutive year that declines in freedom outweighed gains, according to the Freedom House index.

Kurlantzick offers keen insights into what has gone wrong.

After 1991, the Soviet economic model was discredited. Former communist states turned toward democracy, along with many developing countries. Yet too often they assumed that embracing democracy would confer instant wealth.

“It was a widely held belief in East and Central Europe, and in most emerging democracies,” says Kurlantzick, “that democracy would bring prosperity. When the first years brought slow growth, that was a real disillusionment.”

Absent a culture of democracy or strong leader-

Whatever the risks to U.S. interests posed by the growing gravitational pull of China, the biggest threat to global democracy lies within the West itself.” ship, many new democracies struggled; the high expectations of poorer citizens were shattered. But what accounts for the growing frustrations with democracy evinced by its supposed middle-class bulwark - in countries as diverse as Venezuela, Thailand, Egypt, and the Philippines?

Much of the problem can be ascribed to the Three C’s: chaos, corruption, and the crash.

Democracy can open the door to irresponsible populists such as Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez, who appeal to the poor (and often wreck the economy). The middle class feels its well-being is threatened.

Moreover, when dictatorships fall in countries with no rule-of-law tradition, a political vacuum often breeds lawlessness and chaos. A prime example is Egypt, where much of the middle class, and many urban poor, now yearn for the stability they had under Hosni Mubarak, though

However, let me stress this: Whatever the risks to U.S. interests posed by the growing gravitational pull of China, the biggest threat to global democracy lies within the West itself.

If Western citizens lose faith in their own systems, new democracies are bound to do likewise. In Europe, postcrash austerity has aggravated job loss and impoverished many middle- and workingclass citizens, especially in southern Europe. The postWorld War II social contract that ended a century of European conflict is fraying. Rightwing fringe groups are attracting more of the vote.

Meantime, middle-class Americans feel threatened by rising inequality and permanent job loss — and their fear leads to disillusionment with government. Congress is paralyzed, with Republicans pressed by their hard-liners to reject any compromise on revenue and spending. Irresponsible fringe groups proliferate, fueled by billionaire backers. Conspiracy theories go viral on the Internet, like the one I just received, proclaiming: “Secret Obama plot to stay in power until 2020.”

America’s deep democratic roots and strong civic organizations remain a bulwark. Yet relentless right-wing efforts to demonize government undermine our democratic institutions. Washington’s meltdown convinces the world that our democracy can no longer deliver.

And when the world’s paramount democracy can’t function, why would developing countries want to follow our lead?

OLD HOME TOWN

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Feb. 26, 1913: YEARS “Would you like to AGO return to the days IN 1913 of saloons? Would you like to have as many saloons in Lawrence as there are now grocery stores on the main street? Lawrence used to have 18 saloons. Prohibition has done wonders for Kansas. It has made Kansas good as well as great. The saloon is a terrible influence in politics and it is a worse influence in business. It knows no favorites, fears nothing but righteousness. Kansas has banished the saloon for good.”

they once rallied against him in Tahrir Square.

Corruption has also become associated with newly open societies. “Rising corruption can lead to popular alienation with democracy,” writes Kurlantzick. In autocracies, corruption is usually controlled at the center, but the collapse of such regimes provides much broader opportunities for graft.

One of many examples: In postcommunist Russia, Boris Yeltsin’s fire sale of stateowned natural resources to private “oligarchs” convinced ordinary Russians that democracy equaled theft, and fueled the yearning for a new strongman.

Middle-class anger has also been stoked by the 2008 financial crash, which resulted in huge economic pain yet let most of the bankers who caused it off the hook.

Little wonder that much of the world began to question the validity of the Western liberal economic model. All the more so when the European Union can’t resolve its postcrash financial crises, and Washington can’t get its fiscal act together. As one State Department official quoted by Kurlantzick puts it: “How can we with a straight face be telling countries in Africa and the Middle East that they need to develop better systems for governing when we can’t even pass a budget?” Indeed.

With the Western model in decline, little wonder, too, that many Asian, African, and Latin American nations look with new interest at the Chinese model of undemocratic development, mixing capitalism with continued government control of key sectors in an authoritarian state.

Good job To the editor: During this past weekend, I received numerous compliments from our residents about how well the snow was removed from our city streets. In all cases, they asked me to convey this expression of gratitude to the city employees who worked tirelessly to accomplish this task and thank them for the safety they provided us.

So, here it is: “Thank you to all public works employees, our parks employees who helped out public works, our sanitation workers who fought the snow, our first responders and all staff and others (many contract workers) who performed their job meritoriously!

Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!

“Your accomplishment was no easy task in that you cleared 835 lane miles of roadway, multiple intersections, crosswalks and parking lots, and completely removed all the snow from downtown resulting in the movement of more than 44 million cubic feet of snow!

“Once again, from all of us, ‘Thank you!’”

Bob Schumm, Lawrence mayor

county clerk. Jamie and his staff have worked tirelessly to ensure voters have ready access to the polls.

The county’s decision to extend early voting hours to Sunday, to accommodate folks who might have otherwise been prevented from voting by the pending storm, is to be commended.

Thank you, Jamie Shew, and thanks, too, to your staff at the county courthouse! Our democracy is stronger for your dedicated efforts.

Energy policy

To the editor: People of faith are called to be responsible stewards of God’s creation.

That’s why Kansas Interfaith Power & Light supports the most effective state policy we have for the development of clean energy in Kansas: the renewable portfolio standard.

The RPS requires that utilities generate or purchase 20 percent of their electricity from renewable sources by 2020.

This market-based policy has led to an explosion of wind-energy development in Kansas, including more than 2,800 megawatts of installed wind energy equaling about $7 billion in investment since 2001, as well as the direct or indirect creation of 13,000 jobs in Kansas.

To the editor: The benefits of the RPS include inResidents of Douglas County are creased diversity and security of our mighty lucky to have Jamie Shew as our energy supply; reduced volatility of

Voter access

power prices; local economic development resulting from new jobs, taxes and revenue; and environmental improvement as we move away from polluting forms of energy toward cleaner and safer ones — all at a reported increase of between zero and 1.7 percent on customers’ utility bills.

That’s why it’s so disturbing to see efforts in Topeka to roll back or cancel the RPS — testament to the influence of fossil-fuel money on our political system.

On behalf of God’s creation, clean energy and good jobs for Kansans, we ask our legislators to support a policy that helps develop one of the most successful economic sectors in Kansas; that provides jobs, economic opportunities, and tax revenue all across the state; and that incentivizes the development of clean, homegrown and unlimited sources of energy.

JAYHAWKS TRAVIS RELEFORD AND JEFF WITHEY (5) GET UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL WITH ELIJAH JOHNSON (15) after Johnson hit a long three in overtime against Iowa State. Johnson had a career-high 39 points in the Jayhawksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 108-96 overtime victory Monday in Ames, Iowa.

Johnson buries ISU with 39 points

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

AMES, IOWA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safe to say Elijah Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior slump is over.

Johnson, Kansas Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth-year point guard who has been starting floor general of a wildly successful 24-4 team despite some ugly personal shooting statistics, exploded for 39 points â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right, 39 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in the Jayhawksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; thrilling 108-96 overtime victory over Iowa State on Monday in Hilton Coliseum.

He hit 13 of 22 shots, including six of 10 threes and

seven of seven free throws â&#x20AC;&#x201D; totaling 30 points the second half and overtime. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wilt had some good games,â&#x20AC;? KU coach Bill Self â&#x20AC;&#x201D; eyes twinkling after the 500th coaching victory of his career â&#x20AC;&#x201D; said of Wilt Chamberlain, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but this will go down as one of the best games any guard has played at Kansas. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never had a guy make every play in a game like that down the stretch. He was huge. He was the best player in the country. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never had a guy get KANSAS COACH BILL SELF TEARS INTO AN OFFICIAL after being called for a tech30 in a half.â&#x20AC;? nical foul early in what turned out to be Please see KANSAS, page 4B the 500th victory of his coaching career.

AMES, IOWA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Elijah Johnson awakened with an achy stomach and knee.

All those around him knew what to do with the verbal sympathy cards that might have brightened his spirits.

Bill Cowgill, the Kansas University basketball teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s athletic trainer, burned them with his tongue at the start of the day. Bill Self, the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10th-year coach, took the baton from Cowgill moments into Monday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game against Iowa State inside Hilton Coliseum and let Johnson have it again.

You think maybe Cowgill

Guards Bonner, Mosiman, Roberts work well, play well together for LHS

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

One might label another with an annoying nickname.

Two of them ride to school together every morning. All three go to Kwik Shop after practice for drinks and/or grub.

The way they joke around and spend so much time together away from the court, Lawrence High basketball players Anthony Bonner, Jake Mosiman and Justin Roberts act like they have

been playing together for years.

That simply isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the case.

The Lionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; compatriots â&#x20AC;&#x201D; buddies off the court and stone-cold scorers on it â&#x20AC;&#x201D; didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t become teammates until this season, yet theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve led Lawrence to a 12-8 record and No. 7 ranking in Class 6A. Bonner and Roberts go way back, to when they played basketball together and hung out as youngsters, before Roberts moved away.

When the Roberts family

came back to town this past summer, leading up to Justinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s freshman year, they moved in across the street from where Mosiman lives â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;like two steps away,â&#x20AC;? as Mosiman put it.

Between an established friendship, some new neighbors and the fact Mosiman and other LHS upperclassmen took Bonner with them everywhere they went last year, things just clicked when the three guards joined forces last summer for workouts and summer hoops.

Even LHS coach Mike Lewis noticed the immediate chemistry and camaraderie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From then on it was a pretty tight-knit group,â&#x20AC;?

Lewis said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;that just had a good feel for each other.â&#x20AC;?

A 6-foot senior, Mosiman averages 13 points, five rebounds and has hit 53 threepointers. A 6-1 sophomore, Richard Gwin/Journal-World Photo Bonner puts up 11 points, four rebounds and two FROM LEFT, LAWRENCE HIGHâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S JAKE steals.

Gonzaga jumps to No. 2, KU 6th in poll SPOKANE, WASH. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Gonzaga has been in 14 NCAA tournaments, five of which ended with an appearance in the Round of 16. But no Gonzaga team ever before has been ranked No. 2 in the Associated Pressâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Top 25, as the Zags were Monday.

Indiana remained No. 1 for the fourth straight week. Meanwhile, the little school from Spokane with the funny name moved up one spot to its highest ranking ever, surpassing the No. 3 position it reached last week and for the final two weeks of 2003-04. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a special thing to be recognized at this time of year,â&#x20AC;? guard Mike Hart said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got 30 games under our belt.

That says a lot. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just a few games.â&#x20AC;?

That sentiment was echoed by coach Mark Few. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The polls mean a lot more this time of year than they do in November, December, even January,â&#x20AC;? Few said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of us are being judged on the true body of work. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely rewarding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It establishes us as a national program, which I believe we have been for the last 10 years.

This group has done a great job of competing at that level, winning games at the highest level.â&#x20AC;?

While the West Coast Bulldogs made some news at the top of the poll Monday, Louisiana

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a special thing to be recognized at this time of year. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got 30 games under our belt. That says a lot. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just a few games.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Gonzaga guard Mike Hart Tech, the Bulldogs from Down South, moved into the rankings for the first time since a 13-week run in 1984-85, their only appearance in the poll.

Louisiana Tech, which is 25th this week, was led back then to a ranking as high as No. 7 by a forward named Karl Malone.

Gonzaga around that time had a point guard named John Stockton. They went on to become one of the greatest combinations in NBA history with the Utah Jazz, were members of the Dream Team and both were inducted in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.

Stocktonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son, David, is a reserve guard for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gonzaga team. David Stockton said this edition of the Zags has its eye on March Madness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s March when we have been validated in the past, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the next step,â&#x20AC;? Stockton said.

But he admitted the players and fans were relishing the ranking.

Guard Kevin Pangos cautioned that it is an ethereal honor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It can change in a flash in case we lose a game,â&#x20AC;? Pangos said, adding that players were well aware of the carnage at the upper reaches of the poll in recent weeks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It makes us aware it can happen to us at any time.â&#x20AC;?

Gonzagaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remaining regular season games are at BYU on Thursday and at home against Portland on Saturday.

Louisiana Tech coach Michael White is another who has his eyes on March, even though his team cracked the poll for the first time in more than a quarter century. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a goal we set out to accomplish,â&#x20AC;? White said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really striving for is an NCAA tournament berth. But this is something that canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be taken away from them, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy for them.â&#x20AC;?

The Hoosiers, who have been ranked No. 1 for a total of 10 weeks this season, received all but one first-place vote from the 65-member national media panel. Gonzaga got the other No. 1 vote.

Duke moved up three spots to third and was followed by Michigan and Miami, which dropped from second after falling to Wake Forest, the Hurricanesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first Atlantic Coast Conference loss this season.

Colorado State, which was 22nd and lost twice last week, and VCU, which was 24th, dropped out.

Baylor women hold at No. 1 Baylor remains No. 1 in the Associated Press womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball poll for an eighth straight week after topping UConn last Monday night.

The Lady Bears rallied to beat the third-ranked Huskies by six points before routing Texas for their 37th straight Big 12 regular-season victory. Baylor received all 40 first-place votes for the first time since returning to the top spot.

The first seven stayed unchanged with Notre Dame, UConn, Stanford and Duke following Baylor.

Cal rallied from a 17-point deficit against Oregon State on Sunday to remain sixth. Penn State, Tennessee, Maryland and Kentucky round out the first 10.

A week after falling out of the Top 25, Iowa State came back in at No. 23. Oklahoma State fell out for the first time this season.

Officials: Pistorius interested in training JOHANNESBURG (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Oscar Pistorius on Monday informed South African authorities that he wants to resume athletic training while on bail for the murder case against him, a government official said.

A spokeswoman for the Olympic runner, however, denied that he was making immediate plans to return to the track while awaiting trial for the Feb. 14 shooting death of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Absolutely not,â&#x20AC;? said spokeswoman Janine Hills. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is currently in mourning and his focus is not on his sports.â&#x20AC;?

The double-amputee Paralympian discussed bail terms with his probation officer and a correctional official at the Pretoria Magistrateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Court in the capital, according to correctional officials. The guidelines will determine his daily routine until his next court appearance on June 4. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s his wish to continue to practice,â&#x20AC;? James Smalberger, chief deputy commissioner of the department of correctional services, said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press.

Smalberger said the issue came up because authorities need to know his movements whenever he leaves the home where he is staying.

The timing of any resumption of training was uncertain.

Pistoriusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; longtime coach, Ampie Louw, declined to comment on any training plans for the runner, referring questions to a spokeswoman for the athleteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family.

Louw had said when the runner was in detention that he wanted to put him back into training in the event that he was granted bail. But he had also said Pistorius could be â&#x20AC;&#x153;heartbrokenâ&#x20AC;? and unwilling to immediately run again.

Pistorius, who was released on bail Friday, is staying at the house of his uncle, Arnold, in the affluent suburb of Waterkloof in Pretoria. He faces life imprisonment if convicted.

Pistorius is charged with premeditated murder in the killing of Steenkamp, in the early hours of Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day. Prosecutors say the pair had an argument before Steenkamp was killed; Pistorius says he mistook her for an intruder and shot her accidentally.

NOTRE DAME LINEBACKER MANTI TEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;O RUNS THE 40-YARD DASH at the NFL scouting combine on Monday in Indianapolis.

Teâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;o disappoints analysts at NFL combine INDIANAPOLIS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Manti Teâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first appearance on a football field since the BCS championship game didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go as well as planned Monday.

The Notre Dame star and Heisman Trophy runner-up was clocked at 4.82 seconds in the 40-yard dash. NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock had said Sunday anything faster than 4.7 would be â&#x20AC;&#x153;phenomenal.â&#x20AC;? Anything 4.8 or over would be a â&#x20AC;&#x153;concern.â&#x20AC;?

The workout came more than a month after Teâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highly-publicized online romance with a girlfriend was exposed as a hoax and that he was a victim of the hoax.

Since then, he has done a handful of 1-on-1 interviews and took questions Saturday in one of the craziest scenes in NFL scouting combine history. Reporters crowded around the podium, lining up eight deep to hear Teâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;o talk one more time about what happened.

Some have wondered if the embarrassing story was a distraction leading into the national championship game, in which Teâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;o and his Notre Dame teammates played poorly in a blowout loss to Alabama.

The linebacker said Saturday the hoax had no impact on that game. And he insists it has not affected his preparation for the combine, either.

But instead of putting those concerns to rest with a good showing Monday, Teâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;o fell short of his goals again â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and not just in the 40.

Teâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;o participated in five of the seven drills, opting out of the bench press and 60-yard shuttle, and did not finish ranked among the top five at his position in any of them.

His vertical jump was 33 inches, far below Southern Mississippiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jamie Collinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; positional best of 41 1/2. Teâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;o jumped 113 inches in the broad jump. He finished the three-cone drill in 7.13 seconds, well off the pace set by Missouriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Zaviar Gooden (6.71). Teâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;o completed the 20-yard shuttle in 4.27 seconds, again behind Goodenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 4.18.

After the workouts, which were closed to the media, Teâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;o told NFL Network that he could have done better â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and that he will at next monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pro Day at Notre Dame.

Scouts also have been curious to see how former LSU cornerback Tyrann Mathieu would perform in Indy after getting kicked off his college team last summer and took the entire season off.

Mathieu didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do well Monday, either. He did only four reps on the 225-pound bench press, tied with Appalachian Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Demetrius McCray for the lowest among all defensive backs.

The defensive backs, including former Kansas standout Bradley McDougald, will complete their workouts today, the final day of the combine.

PRO FOOTBALL

Patriots extend QB Brady Tom Brady will be a Patriot until he is 40 years old.

Brady agreed to a three-year contract extension with New England on Monday, a person familiar with the contract told the Associated Press. The extension is worth about $27 million and will free up nearly $15 million in salary cap room for the team, which has several younger players it needs to re-sign or negotiate new deals with.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the extension has not been announced.

Sports Illustrated first reported the extension.

The 35-year-old two-time league MVP was signed through 2014, and has said he wants to play at least five more years.

A three-time Super Bowl champion, Brady will make far less in those three seasons than the going rate for star quarterbacks. Brady currently has a four-year, $72 million deal with $48 million guaranteed.

Drew Brees and Peyton Manning are the NFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest-paid quarterbacks, at an average of $20 million and $18 million a year, respectively.

Brady has made it clear he wants to finish his career with the Patriots, whom he led to Super Bowl wins for the 2001, 2003 and 2004 seasons, and losses in the big game after the 2007 and 2011 seasons. By taking less money in the extension and redoing his current contract, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hopeful New England can surround him with the parts to win more titles.

Thunder bring back vet Fisher OKLAHOMA CITY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Oklahoma City Thunder signed veteran Derek Fisher on Monday, filling an opening for a third point guard that was created when Eric Maynor got traded to Portland.

Fisher joins Oklahoma City for the stretch run for the second straight season. He played in 20 regular-season games and then all 20 playoff games last season. He has not played in the NBA this season after being unsigned as a free agent during the offseason.

Seabury boys fall, 51-33, in finale J-W Staff Reports

LYNDON — Eighth-seed Bishop Seabury Academy fell to top-seeded Lyndon, 51-33, on Monday in the first round of Class 2A boys basketball sub-state.

The Seahawks finished the season 1-17 and were led by freshman Caleb Owino’s 12 points. Seabury limited Lyndon’s big men — 6-foot-6 Scott Farwell and 6-3 Dakota Jiskra — to just six points apiece, but struggled defending the perimeter.

“This is a huge basketball team that pounds the ball inside,” Seabury coach Ashley Battles said.

“So the game plan was to make sure their bigs didn’t score inside. We did a fantastic job of that, but taking that away left them open on the three-point line, and they hit some shots that gave us fits.”

Skylar Farwell led Lyndon (19-1) with 11 points.

The loss marked the final game for Seabury seniors Brandon McCaffrey, Eric Shin, Frank Depenbusch, Michael Kressig and Fischer Almanza.

“I’m gonna miss the seniors,” Battles said. “This was one win and 17 losses, and a lot of teams would have crumbled, but our guys fought to the very end no matter what. I’m very proud of them.”

Jayhawks heap praise SCOREBOARD on QB for leadership High School

Big 12 Men

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

The more people within Kansas University’s football program talk, the more it becomes clear that junior quarterback Jake Heaps is taking his role as team leader very seriously.

It’s not that Heaps has been named team captain — yet — or even been asked to step up to fill the void left by the departure of several seniors from the 2012 team. It’s more that he has taken it upon himself to rally the troops and make sure everyone is on the same page this offseason.

“Jake’s been the biggest (leader), by far,” said defensive end Chris Martin, a junior-college transfer who spent the 2010 season at Florida and came to KU in January.

“If anyone sticks out in that aspect, it’s Jake.”

As soon as the 2012 season endHeaps ed, Heaps hopped into a leadership role and has not looked back. In addition to helping organize workouts and constantly motivating teammates to dig deeper and push harder, Heaps took on a heavy role in recruiting and did not stop once signing day arrived.

“Jake did a great job with all of us new guys,” said offensive lineman Mike Smithburg, who, like Martin, transferred to KU in January along with six others. “From the first day on, he introduced himself, and he’s always asking us what’s going on and how we’re doing.”

That kind of leadership — returning Jayhawks Keba Agostinho, Ben Heeney and Keon Stowers also have been praised by

Free State High senior basketball and softball player Courtney Parker has been selected as an NAIA High School Champions of Character Award winner.

Parker and other winners will be recognized on March 18 during the NAIA Men’s Division I Basketball National Championship, at Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City, Mo. FSHS softball coach Lee Ice nominated Parker for the award, which is given to high school athletes for their “values of integrity, respect, responsibility, sportsmanship and servant leadership in and out of competition,” according to an NAIA announcement.

three-point line and wait for the kick-out,” Mosiman said.

Plus, the entire team has taken on the unique scrappiness shared by the two speed demons.

“They just need to get to the ball,” Mosiman said.

“They have to have it.

Their will for it is crazy.”

Roberts said Lawrence wouldn’t be where it is without Bonner’s relentless drives to the paint and Mosiman’s always-readyto-fire approach.

“Jake’s probably the best shooter I’ve ever played with in my life,” Roberts said. “He can just knock down shots, regardless if someone’s guarding him or not.”

Of course, the Lions wouldn’t be enjoying this success if their top three players thought they were the only ones who mattered. Lewis said the lead three get that, which doesn’t always happen at the high school level.

“Yeah, those three are our top scorers, and from a statistical standpoint they stand out,” Lewis said, “but they also are three guys who really know how to get their teammates involved. Even if it’s only a four-point night for somebody, those four points have been real valuable to us.”

The complimentary players, Abbott added, realize that as well.

KANSAS GUARD ELIJAH JOHNSON (15) EXTENDS TO DEFEND AGAINST A THREE from Iowa State guard Korie Lucious during the first half. ISU drained 17 threes in a 108-96 overtime loss Monday in Ames, Iowa.

ISU coach: Johnson ‘great’ late

By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

AMES, IOWA — Fred Hoiberg sat on a folding chair at the free-throw line, staring at two studio lights that resembled upside-down white umbrellas.

It was just an hour after Kansas University’s 10896 men’s basketball victory over Iowa State, and for the first time all year, Hoiberg, the ISU coach, was recording his TV coach’s show on the Hilton Coliseum floor following a home loss.

With the camera rolling,

Hoiberg said he couldn’t fault his defense late against KU. Then he talked about how KU guard Elijah Johnson appeared to increase the degree of difficulty with every shot he made late.

Johnson’s career-high 39 points ended up lifting KU, and that included a desperation dagger with 54 seconds left in overtime that put the Jayhawks ahead, 103-96.

“That was one of our better defensive possessions, I thought, of the night,” Hoiberg said, “and he drills a big one with a second on the shot clock.

“

We’re going to move on. I promise you one thing: We’re going to come back even harder the next day.”

— Iowa State’s Georges Niang Not a lot you can do about that one.”

Hoiberg didn’t hesitate to give Johnson credit for his late-game heroics, saying he played “great.”

ISU guard Korie Lucious left wishing he

could have done more late.

“I definitely take ownership for that, because I was the one holding him (defensively),” Lucious said. “He hit a couple of deep threes that brought them back and gave them the lead. He played good, but I think I had to step up my defense.”

ISU also left frustrated after not getting a call on KU’s final possession in regulation.

With KU trailing 9088 with six seconds left, Johnson drove all the way to the rim and banged into ISU’s Georges Niang, who

fell down with the contact.

No charge was called, and with 4.9 seconds left, Johnson was fouled during a loose-ball scrum by Niang before hitting two free throws to tie it.

“I thought Georges made a heck of a play by stepping in there and drawing contact,” Hoiberg said.

“But, hey, it happens in this game. It didn’t go our way.

It’s one of those things ... you move past it and try to get on to the next play. Unfortunately, we didn’t get it done in overtime.”

With 45 seconds left in regulation, Niang hit

a three-pointer to push ISU’s lead to 87-82 before lifting his arms in celebration.

At the postgame news conference, Niang was asked if he thought that shot was going to seal the game.

“The way this season has gone? No,” Niang said.

“But I thought we had a good chance to win it, especially at the end. But a call’s a call, and we’re men here.

“We’re going to move on. I promise you one thing: We’re going to come back even harder the next day.”

Kansas CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

Johnson had the most points of any KU player in a Big 12 Conference game in history. His 39 points were most by any KU player overall since Terry Brown had 42 against North Carolina State on Jan. 5, 1991.

“I blacked out,” Johnson said with a grin, asked if he was “in a zone.”

“Coach and I had a personal conversation early in the game (that helped him), which happens.”

Self admitted he picked up an early technical foul to try to fire up his troops on a day Iowa State knocked down 17 of 41 threes (most attempts against KU in history, one shy of the most threes made against KU). He was hot and bothered by Johnson’s play in the opening minutes.

Self let him have it during a timeout.

“He had a couple bonehead plays early,” Self said. “He said, ‘Coach, next play. Forget about it and move to the next play (as Self tells players to do).’

“I said, ‘I’ll forget about it when I’m through talking about that play,’” Self added, smiling. “It was a way of telling him that couldn’t go on.”

Ragged play didn’t continue.

Johnson, in one of the most amazing clutch performances in KU history, actually scored 25 of KU’s last 36 points — all those points coming after ISU grabbed a 79-72 lead with 5:17 left.

He hit two free throws — the second following

KANSAS FORWARD PERRY ELLIS DIVES FOR A LOOSE BALL with Iowa State defenders Korie Lucious, front, and Tyrus McGee during overtime. a timeout designed to ice him — with 4.9 seconds left. Those free throws tied the game at 90 and forced overtime after a last-second 40-footer by Korie Lucious missed.

“I didn’t pay it any mind,” Johnson said of ISU coach Fred Hoiberg calling time to shake him.

Johnson also tossed in a deep three as the shot clock expired with :59 left, increasing a 100-96 lead to 103-96.

“I begged for the ball,” Johnson said.

Perhaps Johnson’s only blunder of the night was dunking in the final seconds instead of letting the clock run out. ISU fans threw objects at the Jayhawks as they exited the court.

“It was wrong,” Self said, “(but) Elijah apologized. I said something to Fred and the media. I wasn’t very happy about it, but nobody can say that last play took away from the game and our seniors.”

Senior Travis Releford exploded for 19 points.

Jeff Withey had 13 points and 10 boards. And Kevin Young who had 13 points, nine boards.

Johnson was contrite about the last-ditch dunk to get to 39 points.

“I want to apologize to the coach of Iowa State for the last play. I shouldn’t have dunked,” Johnson said. “I should have dribbled it out. I got caught up in the moment. Other than that, it felt good. I have not shot the ball as well as I’ve liked.”

Johnson, who entered as a 37.9 percent shooter (31.9 from three), hit 10 of 14 shots after halftime, including five of six from three.

“It was a great performance. It was a great game,” Self said, assuring it’d be a happy “12-hour” bus ride back home after the victory kept KU tied with Kansas State in the league race at 12-3. Iowa State fell to 19-9, 9-6.

KU will meet West Virginia at 1 p.m. Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse.

KANSAS COACH BILL SELF HUGS TRAVIS RELEFORD after the victory, the 500th of Self’s career.

KANSAS GUARD ELIJAH JOHNSON CUTS BETWEEN IOWA STATE DEFENDERS WILL CLYBURN, LEFT, and Tyrus McGee during the first half. Johnson had 39 points in KU’s 108-96 OT victory Monday in Ames, Iowa.

Keegan CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

by delivering a more clutch performance than any Kansas player since ... good question. A long, long time.

Johnson scored 20 of his career-high 39 points in the final 5:29, rallying Kansas to a 108-96 overtime victory against an Iowa State squad of marksmen who made 17 three-pointers, 29 free throws and just eight twopoint field goals.

Johnson alone outscored Iowa State 8-3 in the final 29 seconds of regulation and 12-6 in the overtime period, although he apologized afterward for the final two points, a dunk when the classy call was dribbling out the clock.

His parents gave him the biblical name Elijah.

Lazarus would have fit him well, too, given that his game came all the way back from the dead and then some Monday. Johnson was quick to share the credit with more than just teammates.

Athletic trainers in all sports are valued greatly by athletes because they know all the tricks to get them healthy enough to play when aches and pains are begging them to rest. Athletes don’t like resting. They like competing. They tend to develop a deep trust for trainers, so much so that a trainer, to do the best job he can for the team, needs to show some tough love at times. Monday morning was one such time for Cowgill, according to Johnson and Self.

“I’ve been with Bill Cowgill a whole lot, and he’s been treating me, getting me right and making me feel better, giving me confidence and letting me know that, ‘You had an injury. You don’t have one now,’ and

Self: 500th career win ‘was a good one’ Bill Self’s 500th career coaching victory was one for the ages.

“I won’t remember 400 or 300 or 200 or 100, but I guarantee you I’ll always remember this one, cause it was a good one,” Self, KU’s 10th-year coach, said after a wild 108-96 overtime win over Iowa State in Hilton Coliseum.

It actually was the most points allowed by a KU team coached by Self.

Baylor had 90 back in 2008.

“I don’t think it means that much,” Self said of 500. He has 162 losses.

“I’m glad I got it. It means I’ve been doing this awhile.

I only care about this team having the best year possible and the seniors the best year possible.”

ference office announced Monday.

The seven-foot center from San Diego averaged 17.5 points and 10 rebounds in two KU victories. He scored 17 points and grabbed a seasonhigh 14 rebounds in KU’s 68-67 double-overtime win at No. 14 Oklahoma State. He scored 18 points with six rebounds in a 7448 home victory against TCU. He combined to hit 10 of 19 shots and 15 of 18 free throws. He also had seven blocks, increasing his KU and Big 12 career records to 272.

Withey is the first player this season to win backto-back Big 12 player of the week awards, as he received the accolade for the third time this year and fourth time in his career.

Technically speaking Self was called for a technical foul in the early going after Elijah Johnson was whistled for a foul.

“I told Mark Whitehead (ref) I tried to get it,” Self said. “It was too early in the game to get upset (at refs).”

He added it would be a good idea to get a ‘T’ in what figured to be such a highly competitive game.

Praise for McLemore Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg on KU’s Ben McLemore: “I think he is the most talented player in the country,” Hoiberg told the Des Moines Register.

In his grill An Iowa State fan had to be restrained by security for getting in Self’s face after the game.

“It was a great crowd. It was a great game. I have no problem with what went on after the game,” said Self, who said he didn’t even notice the fact his players were pelted with objects from ISU’s student section as they exited.

KANSAS GUARD ELIJAH JOHNSON LOOKS TO GRAB A STEAL from Iowa State player Bubu Palo during the first half. making me do things I’m not comfortable doing, trying to get me to step out of my comfort zone,” Johnson said. “And he’s been doing it ever since I had my (offseason) surgery. And I think right now it’s paying off because most people care to you and baby you through it, and right now he’s just telling me, ‘Man up. You don’t have too many games left.’

I’ve been with him every day.”

Self likened an athlete’s body to a race car, saying, “You just get off a little bit, and it can throw the whole engine off or how it runs. This morning his knee was bothering him, and he’s had some stomach issues. Finally, Cowgill got into him, ‘I don’t want to hear that crap. You’re not hurt.

You’re not hurt. Quit making excuses. You’re not hurt.’ And I think was probably good for him to hear that.”

Johnson agreed.

“It takes a little push to go a long ways sometimes,” Johnson said. “I feel that little push taking me real far right now.”

Raining threes ISU’s 17 threes fell one shy of Nebraska’s 18 hit against KU in 2002. ISU’s 41 attempts surpassed Kentucky’s 40 versus KU in 1989.

Prime time KU improved to 49-16 on Big Monday, including a 4-2 mark against Iowa State.

ISU is 3-11 on Big Monday, the last appearance way back in 2006 — a 78-58 loss against Texas at Hilton.

Scouts flock to Ames Scouts representing the Cleveland Cavaliers, Indiana Pacers, Portland Trail Blazers, Milwaukee Bucks, Minnesota Timberwolves, Miami Heat, Philadelphia 76ers, Dallas Mavericks, Phoenix Suns, and Chicago Bulls scouted the game, the Des Moines Register reported.

Top prospect honored Andrew Wiggins, a 6-7 forward from Huntington (W.Va.) Prep, has been named Naismith High School Player of the Year.

The country’s No. 1-rated prospect has a list of KU, Kentucky, North Carolina and Florida State. He’s visited FSU, will visit Kentucky this week, KU on March 3 and North Carolina on March 8.

BOSTON’S PAUL PIERCE, LEFT, AND UTAH’S DEMARRE CARROLL CHASE a possession in the second half on Monday in Salt Lake City. The Celtics defeated the Jazz, 110107 in overtime.

Roundup The Associated Press

Celtics 110, Jazz 107, OT SALT LAKE CITY — Paul Pierce scored 26 points, including seven straight in overtime, and Boston beat Utah on Monday night to close out a five-game road trip.

Pierce had a chance to win it in regulation, but his 19-footer at the buzzer rimmed out.

Alec Burks’ reverse layup pulled Utah to 108105 with 37 seconds left in overtime. Kevin Garnett’s banked three-pointer with 13 seconds left came after the shot clock expired, giving the Jazz another chance.

Paul Millsap was fouled before he could get off a three, but made two free throws with 4.2 seconds remaining.

Courtney Lee added two free throws at the other end with 1.2 seconds left to bump Boston’s lead back to three, and Randy Foye’s 26-footer at the buzzer missed everything.

Avery Bradley added a season-high 18 points for Boston.

Gordon Hayward led Utah with 26 points, Millsap had 16 and Al Jefferson finished with 15 points and 11 rebounds.

The Celtics (30-27) were playing their fifth game in seven days, but didn’t seem to care down the stretch.

The Jazz (31-25) led 101-99 in overtime on DeMarre Carroll’s 21-footer, but Pierce countered with a 3-pointer, then followed with a pull-up jumper over Carroll and a 15-footer to give the Celtics a 106-101 edge with 1:12 left.

Jefferson hit a 15-footer with 1:05 left to get Utah within 106-103, but Garnett’s jumper over Jefferson helped seal it.

The Celtics also were smart down the stretch, fouling with fouls to give and finding a wide-open Lee when the Jazz needed a late steal in overtime.

The Jazz trailed by eight entering the fourth but opened on a 13-2 run.

Jefferson’s 10-foot turnaround jumper over Brandon Bass tied it at 93 with 2:46 left in regulation.

Pierce hit an 18-footer with Carroll diving at him for a 97-95 Boston lead with 36 seconds remaining in regulation, only to see Burks tie it with a tough layup with 19 seconds left.

The game took a 16-point swing in the third, as Boston trailed 5850 only to counter with a 20-4 run and lead 80-72 entering the fourth.

Pierce ignited the run with a 3-pointer, Bradley hit two more 3s and Lee added a dunk after a steal and another 3-pointer.

Pierce capped the run with a jumper over Hayward for a 70-62 Boston lead.

The Celtics hit six of 13 three-pointers in the quarter, while Utah made just five of 16 from the field.

No. 13 Kansas St. 75, Texas Tech 55 MANHATTAN — With three games remaining in the regular season, Kansas State continued to close in on an elusive conference title.

The 13th-ranked Wildcats last won a regular season league title in 1977, but thanks to unprecedented success under first-year coach Bruce Weber and an uncharacteristic threegame losing streak by rival Kansas, Kansas State is tied with the sixth-ranked Jayhawks for first place in the Big 12.

Monday night’s 75-55 victory over Texas Tech kept the Wildcats’ hopes alive.

Now Kansas State has to keep its foot on the gas pedal.

“March is here,” Weber said. “Next game is in March, and you want to be playing your best basketball. I hope they stay humble and they stay hungry.

We’ve got to keep improving because in a couple weeks from now, you lose, it’s over.”

Thomas Gipson scored 20 points, Angel Rodriguez added 16, and the Wildcats (23-5, 12-3 Big 12) got their 12th conference win for the first time in 40 years.

Dusty Hannahs scored 14 points for the Red Raiders (9-17, 2-13) and Jaye Crockett added 13.

The Wildcats did not take control until the second half, when reserve Nino Williams jumpstarted the offense with 11 straight points.

“That’s been one of our keys to our team,” Weber said. “Every day, it seems like it’s somebody else that steps up. It’s hard to stop every guy that we have.

“I’ve said since the beginning, we have eight starters, and all of them can be very, very productive.”

With Texas Tech leading 44-42, Williams got the lead with a three-point play. He scored again after the Wildcats forced a shot-clock violation. He cashed in under the basket after a turnover. The Red Raiders tried to cool off Williams by using a 30-second timeout, but he promptly drained a jumper, giving Kansas State a 51-44 lead — the Wildcats’ largest of the half to that point — with 11:50 to play.

Moments later, he snagged an offensive rebound, scored again, and then grabbed a defensive rebound.

Williams’ scoring burst started the rest of his team, which continued the one-sidedness with a scalding 24-6 run. Kansas State led 66-50 with less than 4 minutes to play.

“Sometimes you miss shots, sometimes you make them, and I just looked to crash the boards,” Williams said.

Kansas State opened the game with a 12-4 run that was capped by consecutive dunks by Rodney McGruder.

After that solid start, the Wildcats got sloppy, and the Red Raiders took advantage.

“I thought we had a chance to play well against them,” Texas Tech interim coach Chris Walker said. “If we made a couple layups . we make a couple free throws, I think we go up five in the first half, and it may be a different game.”

The Red Raiders climbed within 15-12 as four Kansas State players committed a turnover each in a 4-minute spurt.

“One of the worst things that happened, we went up 12-4, and then we were a little giddy, we lost a little bit of focus, and

Gipson scored 20 points in Kansas State’s 75-55 victory. to their credit they came right at us,” Weber said.

A three-pointer by Ty Nurse gave the Red Raiders their first lead of the game with 1:53 to play in the half but a buzzer-beater from the baseline by McGruder gave the Wildcats a 31-30 lead.

Kansas State forward Jordan Henriquez, usually a starter, did not attend the game because he was traveling to New York for his grandmother’s funeral. Gipson started in his place.

“We needed somebody to step up since JO’s not here, and I just made the effort to step up and play harder than I normally play, just made an effort to do it on offense and defense,” Gipson said.

The seniors — of whom Henriquez is one — lead all classes in Kansas State history with 97 victories.

“I hope we keep adding onto that to where they get great distance and maybe no one ever catches them,” Weber said. “They’ve done well.

They’ve stayed focused.

We can’t look too far ahead. It’s one at a time.”

No. 22 Marquette 74, No. 12 Syracuse 71 MILWAUKEE — Davante Gardner scored a careerhigh 26 points and Marquette beat Syracuse in a game that further tightened things at the top of the Big East.

Gardner played only 11 minutes in Marquette’s 60-56 loss at Villanova on Saturday, with coach Buzz Williams saying he benched the junior center because “he played really bad.”

Gardner was the exact opposite against the Orange, making all seven of his shots and converting 12 of 13 free throws in 33 minutes to pull Marquette (20-7, 11-4 Big East) into second place, onehalf game behind No. 7 Georgetown.

C.J. Fair had 20 points for Syracuse (22-6, 10-5), which has lost three of five and dropped into a

Big 12 Women No. 1 Baylor 86, Oklahoma 64 NORMAN, OKLA. — Brittney Griner scored 15 points, tied her seasonhigh with 15 rebounds and blocked seven shots to lead Baylor to its 25th straight victory.

After sitting out the last 111⁄2 minutes of the first half with two fouls, Griner returned and hit the first two baskets in a 10-0 run that pushed the Lady Bears’ lead out to 47-30.

Baylor (27-1, 16-0 Big 12) led by at least 12 the rest of the way, Griner moved past Connecticut’s Maya Moore into fourth in career scoring in women’s basketball. Only Jackie Stiles of Missouri State, Patricia Hoskins of Mississippi Valley State and Lorri Bauman of Drake have more than Griner’s 3,045 points.

Aaryn Ellenberg had 19 points to lead Oklahoma (19-9, 9-7). Morgan Hook had 15 points and nine turnovers. The Sooners’ two post players, Nicole Griffin and Joanna McFarland, combined to go 4 for 23 from the field.

After watching her team’s lead shrink from 16 to four while she was out, Griner quickly put the Lady Bears back in control as the national player of the year is accustomed to doing.

Campbell had a pair of baskets during a string of eight straight Oklahoma points that got the deficit down to 57-45 midway through the second half, but Griner stopped the surge with a turnaround jumper in the lane. She also had a layup to start an 8-0 response by the Bears that restored the lead to 69-48.

Destiny Williams chipped in 16 points and Odyssey Sims had 13 points and six assists.

Dear Annie: I am a 21-year-old female, quite independent, happy and full of life. Last year I started dating “Luke,” age 26. We hit it off great, and I fell in love.

But two months ago, something changed.

Luke recently started a new company. One day, he randomly decided he needed a break from our relationship to focus on his business.

He made me promise to stay faithful. After three weeks, we started arguing. I found it stupid that I was supposed to remain faithful while he was out partying every weekend, going to bars and clubs. He kept texting my sister, saying he didn’t want to be with me. When I’d confront him, he’d say he was only kidding.

I tried hard to work this out. Two weeks ago, we planned to hang out, but Luke didn’t answer my calls. He never

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

even bothered to cancel our plans. I finally had enough and sent him a text ending things completely.

Annie, the entire two months we were apart, I was a wreck. I still can’t stop thinking about him.

I know I did the right thing by breaking it off.

But sometimes, I am filled with regret, as if I wasn’t a good enough girlfriend. How can I be happy again without faking it? — Lost in My Heart Dear Lost: This has nothing to do with your

‘Golden Boy’ another NYC police drama “Golden Boy” (9 p.m., CBS) becomes the latest television drama set in the New York Police Department. After airing tonight and March 5 in the “Vegas” slot, it will move to Fridays on March 8, right before “Blue Bloods,” taking the place of “CSI: NY.” Too bad we can’t collect a pension from just watching all of these NYC cop shows. ‘‘Boy” unfolds in a series of flashbacks, telling the story of how Walter Clark Jr. (Theo James) became the youngest police commissioner in the city’s history. Along the way, we discover that he wasn’t always the nicest guy.

We watch the flashbacks knowing that some of his mentors (including partner Donald Owen, played by Chi McBride) will die along the way.

We just don’t know how or when.

I suspect that should keep us returning.

It’s unclear how long any series can operate in retrospective mode. It seems better suited to a character-driven British series, limited to six or eight episodes.

On the other hand, it has worked for “How I Met Your Mother” all these years! ‘‘Boy” suffers from clunky visual gimmicks and some cop genre cliches. Does Owen have to complain that his retirement is right around the corner?

Still, James is convincing as the lean and hungry young man. And it’s interesting to see how little his colleagues like or respect him on his rapid way up the ladder.

Speaking of character-driven British series, “Sherlock” star Benedict Cumberbatch appears in the BBC-HBO miniseries “Parade’s End” (9 p.m. and 10 p.m., HBO). The gorgeously produced and flawlessly performed period piece will air in five hours over three nights.

Tonight’s other highlights:

Familiar cable stars appear on “Celebrity Wife Swap” (7 p.m., ABC).

The cast of “My Name Is Earl” cameo on “Raising Hope” (7 p.m., Fox).

Skye’s warning goes unheeded on “Cult” (8 p.m., CW).

Seth Rogen guest-stars on “The Mindy Project” (8:30 p.m., Fox).

Peter pushes Julia to work harder on “Smash” (9 p.m., NBC).

Megan must stay mum to save Lacey on “Body of Proof” (9 p.m., ABC).

The search for Drew reaches a dangerous stage on “Justified” (9 p.m., FX).

Luke was simply not the right guy. He didn’t have the courage to break things off in an honest way and made himself repeatedly unavailable, hoping you’d take the initiative and let him go.

It is natural for you to grieve the end of a relationship that you expected to last. Surround yourself with supportive friends and family, pamper yourself, and “fake it until you make it.”

Time will heal this. We promise.

Dear Annie: I used to keep in touch with my grandchildren via email, but lately, they have not been answering my letters. Their parents told me that teenagers prefer to “text” rather than email.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Tuesday, Feb. 26: This year you often find yourself caught in the middle of arguments.

You can see the pros and cons of each side, but you might not feel confident enough to offer your opinion. If you are single, you might be challenged to meet the right person.

If you are attached, a relationship needs tending if you want it to work.

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) Express your thoughts clearly; otherwise, you could come off as being too sarcastic. Be careful. Tonight: Take a brisk walk.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Your creativity emerges, which makes nearly anything possible. Your friends and/or associates could be defiant, as confusion marks a situation. Tonight: Do what feels right to you.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You could head in a certain direction if you so choose, despite what is happening around you.

Certain circumstances could trigger you, but you don’t need to take action. Tonight: Happy at home Cancer (June 21-July 22) You might try to clear up a situation, only to find that it has more complications than you originally thought. Unless you have strong conversational skills, the problem could worsen. Tonight: Hang out.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Recognize what needs to happen in order to make a situation work. Your fiery personality could factor into your decision-making.

Tonight: Your treat.

Dear New York: Nearly every cellphone has a text function where you can send a typed message to someone else’s cellphone. On older models, you may need to check your owner’s manual to find out how to do this, and it can also require several keystrokes to get the right letters. But newer smartphones have an icon for messaging right on the screen and a keyboard that appears when you use the function, making texting simple and quick. And the parents are right — most teens prefer it to emailing, although there is a cost involved. If you are interested in getting a new phone, please know that many companies offer tutorials to go with it.

— Send questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or Annie’s Mailbox, P.O. Box 118190 Chicago, IL 60611.

jacquelinebigar.com

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You feel more in tune with others than you have in a while.

Try not to get upset by the inevitable disagreements that could pop up from out of nowhere. Tonight: Whatever feels like the right thing.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Take your time when making a decision. Someone’s comments might surprise you. Tonight: You need time to yourself.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You know what you want, and you know what feels right. After engaging in a conversation in which you had thought everyone was on the same page, you might find out otherwise. Tonight: Where your friends are.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You will assume a greater role in a project, and you’ll have your share of obstacles to jump. Don’t get too tied up in a situation involving property or a domestic matter, as you could feel torn between two possibilities. Tonight: A must appearance.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Reach out to someone at a distance. Excitement surrounds an idea, but you might not know how to proceed. Tonight: Surf the Web. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Someone might make an extra effort to get to know you.

Don’t assume that this person’s assertiveness will last forever. Tonight: Share today with a friend.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Allow others to do their thing. You might want to try a different attitude or approach. Tonight: Follow someone else’s lead.
