Franklin County sheriff and deputy arrested

By Ian Cummings icummings@ljworld.com

Franklin County Sheriff Jeffry Curry and Deputy Jerrod W. Fredricks were arrested by the Kansas Bureau of Investigation on Wednesday on felony charges of obstruction of

justice, although few details about the allegations were immediately available.

At a news conference Wednesday afternoon in Ottawa, County Attorney Stephen Hunting said the charges stemmed from an investigation that was

made public last September, though very little has been said about the nature of that probe. He declined to provide details, citing an ongoing investigation. The complaint against Curry is sealed under court order.

In addition to the ob-

struction charge, Curry also faces a charge of official misconduct.

The Journal-World filed an open records request last fall with Franklin County for emails sent to and from Curry’s office for a two-week period prior to the KBI search

warrants being served in September. That request was denied because the volume of emails during that period placed “an unreasonable burden on the county to produce.”

Douglas County commissioners reached a tentative agreement early this morning to grant a conditional use permit for a large sand pit mining operation along the Kansas River near Eudora, provided no significant issues are found in a groundwater survey that must be conducted before COUNTY the permit is COMMISSION issued.

Although commissioners did not take a formal vote — it will take at least another two weeks to draft the particulars of the motion — it was evident Wednesday night that Commissioners Mike Gaughan and Jim Flory were willing to move forward with the project, while Commissioner Nancy Thellman remained opposed.

Under the bargain reached shortly after midnight, Penny Concrete and Van LLC, the two owners of the property where the pit would be located, would agree to pay for a “pre-dredging report” to be conducted by an independent consultant that would do an in-depth analysis of the underground aquifer around the site to determine whether the sand pit Please see SAND, page 2A

KANSAS UNIVERSITY

Professor from Ohio hired to lead engineering school

By Matt Erickson merickson@ljworld.com

Kansas University has announced the new leader for its growing School of Engineering: Michael Branicky, a professor and department chairman at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland.

Branicky, who leads CWRU’s electrical engineering and computer science department, will become KU’s dean of engineering July 1. KU announced his hiring Wednesday afternoon.

A Cleveland native,

Michael Branicky, who leads Case Western’s electrical engineering and computer science department and who was a program director for the National Science Foundation, will take the helm of KU’s School of Engineering at a time of rapid growth, bolstered by state funds intended to produce more engineers for Kansas.

Branicky joined the CWRU faculty in 1996 and became department chairman in 2010. He earned bachelor’s and

master’s degrees from CWRU and a doctorate in electrical engineering and computer science from the Massachusetts Insti-

tute of Technology.

From 2008 to 2010, he was a program director for the National Science Foundation. He led a group that funded research on cyber-physical systems — the combination of computer processors and mechanical systems such as cars and airplanes.

KU Provost Jeff Vitter said Branicky’s experience with the NSF was important, as KU is focused on conducting more innovative research.

“He’s seen the whole process of grant fund-

ing from all sides,” Vitter said, “and that’s a very valuable insight as we really strive to greatly increase our research funding.”

Branicky, 48, has published more than 100 articles in journals and at conferences, and he has helped to attract more than $7 million in external research funding.

Vitter said he has the energy and vision to guide the School of Engineering as it aims to increase its enrollment by Please see DEAN, page 2A

Furloughs expected from federal spending cuts

ljworld.com 645 N.H. (News Center) Lawrence, KS 66044 (785) 843-1000 • (800) 578-8748

EDITORS

TOPEKA (AP) — Gov. Sam Brownback assured Kansas residents Wednesday that core government services would remain fully funded, even if automatic federal spending cuts take effect that could force spring furloughs for some 6,650 civilian employees at the state’s military bases.

Brownback said agencies are assessing how much money may be at stake in $85 billion in across-theboard spending cuts that could be authorized to occur Friday barring a deal.

The cuts would not go into effect until March 27, when the current continuing resolution on federal spending expires. “State agencies have begun examining the potential impact sequestration at the federal level will have on Kansas if it goes into effect,� the governor said.

The White House issued a fact sheet on each

state, estimating the cuts in federal spending in Kansas at more than $130 million, including grant payments for job training, public health, law enforcement, environmental protection and child care.

The biggest and most immediate impact would be on military operations in Kansas and the potential for furloughs of some 6,650 civilian employees starting in April. Military spending accounts for about 1 percent of the gross state product, or $7.5 billion annually, said John Armbrust, executive director of the Governor’s Military Council.

Salaries of military employees, both direct and indirect, total $5.5 billion, which includes soldiers and contractors, Armbrust said. Civilian employee furloughs would reduce that by $40 million through the remainder of the current federal fiscal

year, including an estimated $14 million at Fort Riley, the largest Army post in Kansas.

Some potential impacts on state government include cuts in education programs, such as the federal share of special education services and Title I programs for low-income students.

Dale Dennis, deputy commissioner of education, said the two cuts would total about $10.8 million, but wouldn’t be felt until after July 1.

He said the cuts would be felt in all 286 school districts but would be more severe in districts with high concentrations of poverty. The loss of funds would mean the reduction in the number of teachers, paraprofessionals, summer school days and extended learning time for certain students if a federal solution isn’t reached, Dennis said.

Dean

as the school’s leader, as it expands its facilities, its enrollment and its faculty. “That makes it very exciting to join,� he said.

Branicky was the first of three finalists for the dean position to visit campus and appear at public forums in November. He said he thought the people he met at KU during his visit would be a great group to work with. “I was very impressed with the campus, the new facilities, the faculty and students that I met,�

Branicky said.

Branicky will be paid a salary of $280,000 as dean.

He said he’d like to help the school continue to grow and become a national leader.

Vitter said he believed Branicky could boost the school’s research and its education, spurring economic growth in Kansas and the nation. “We are in an environment where there is a crucial need for engineers,�

Vitter said, “and it’s our obligation to provide the utmost high-quality graduates with the skills to develop industries that will bring long-term economic stability.�

Branicky’s research interests are in the area of systems and control — how mechanisms such as a thermostat in a house or autopilot in an airplane control larger systems —as well as robotics. Vitter said his background could help foster research among

different disciplines at KU, at a time when more and more research involves sophisticated computing.

Ken Audus, dean of the KU School of Pharmacy, led a KU search committee to find a new dean after Stuart Bell announced his departure last year. An outside firm, Baker and Associates of Marietta, Ga., also assisted with the search, at a cost of $99,000.

Branicky will replace Bell, who left KU in August 2012 to become provost and executive vice chancellor at Louisiana State University after 10 years as engineering dean.

Stan Rolfe, a distinguished professor in the civil, environmental and architectural engineering department, has served as interim dean since Bell’s departure and will continue in the position until Branicky arrives.

KU will also be hiring Branicky’s wife, Danielle Olds, Vitter said. Olds, a postdoctoral fellow at the Louis Stokes Cleveland Veterans Affairs Medical Center with a Ph.D. in nursing from the University of Pennsylvania, will become an assistant research professor at the KU Medical Center.

last five months, including two each before the Douglas County Commission and joint meetings of the Lawrence-Douglas County and City of Eudora planning commissions.

In January, the two planning commissions voted to recommend denial of the permit. The main issues raised at that meeting concerned the potential threat to both the quality and quantity of groundwater supplies, excessive noise and the destruction of more than 400 acres of prime agricultural land.

Thellman said it was the issue of land use that convinced her to oppose the permit. “Thirty years from now when we have this pit lake, that’s when the Census Bureau tells us we’ll have 2 billion more people on Earth,� Thellman said. “It’s a local issue, but it’s a global issue. We owe it to the next generation and the generation after that not to take the short-term gain and lose 400 acres of prime agricultural soil.�

The county’s comprehensive plan establishes a number of priorities for planning growth and development of the county. It includes the goal of protecting highly productive farm land as well as the goal of marketing the county’s mineral resources.

“It’s a classic case of competing land-use issues,� Flory said. But he said it would be an overreach for the county to limit the rights of the property owners for anything other than to protect the health, safety and welfare of the community. “When you restrict individual rights and liberties, government should use the least restrictive alternatives, and should do so only to protect physical safety, health and welfare,� he said. “It should not to advance a political view or philosophy.�

The commission is tentatively set to take a final vote March 13 on a motion that will spell out the structure and details of the approval.

sheriff of Franklin County unless he resigns or is removed by an ouster process that usually takes about two months, Hunting said. “Until he is ousted from office, he remains the sheriff,� he said.

Curry and Fredricks were booked Wednesday into the Wyandotte County Jail in Kansas City, Kan. Both were released later Wednesday — Curry on a $3,000 bond and Fredricks on a $1,500 bond.

Both men are scheduled to appear in court March 6.

Franklin County Sheriff’s office confirmed in September that it was the subject of an investigation by the KBI. Fredricks said at the time that the office was “cooperating fully with the investigation,� but no other details had come out until Wednesday’s arrest. Curry was appointed sheriff in 2010 and re-elected in November.

Hunting said the charges were filed in Franklin County District Court, and the Shawnee County District Attorney’s Office will act as a special prosecutor in the case at Hunting’s request.

60 percent from where it was during the latter half of last decade. “This is probably the most exciting time in the history of the school,� said Vitter, who is also a distinguished professor of electrical engineering and computer science in the School of Engineering.

Branicky will take the helm of the School of Engineering at a time of rapid growth, bolstered by state funds intended to produce more engineers for Kansas.

The school broke ground in the fall on an $80 million expansion, to be funded partly by $35 million from the state.

Also during the fall, the school dedicated its new Measurement, Materials and Sustainable Environment Center.

The school enrolled a record 2,151 students in fall 2012, and its freshman class grew by 22 percent from the year before.

KU plans to use revenue from the school’s growing enrollment to fill 30 new engineering faculty positions — nearly half of the 64 new jobs KU has opened in its first widescale faculty hiring effort in years.

Branicky said in a phone interview Wednesday that it’s a great time to step in

would pose a significant risk to the city of Eudora’s municipal water supply, as well as to domestic wells of neighboring property owners.

If that report shows there are no “show-stopper issues,� as one engineer phrased it, the county would agree to grant the conditional use permit, subject to numerous conditions that have already been negotiated, and possibly subject to more conditions that could be recommended in the report.

In addition, commissioners and the applicants agreed to vastly reduce the size of the project to about 200 acres, less than half the size of the original proposal for a 456-acre site. That involves moving the excavation site at least 1,000 feet away from the river, and eliminating a portion of the proposed site lying south of a wetlands area.

That agreement came around 12:30 a.m., after more than six hours of public comment and debate among the commissioners. It was at least the fourth public hearing on the proposal in the

Some reflections on the election

By Adam Strunk astrunk@ljworld.com

I

think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve finally shaken the snow from my ballot box, so, how about some news and notes left over from Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lawrence City Commission primary election?

Getting it Done Early: For the first time in memory, there were more people who cast advance ballots than who went to the polls on Election Day. According to the unofficial numbers, 2,910 cast advance ballots, while 2,480 cast ballots on Election Day.

A Bond Bounce: The talk at the Courthouse Tuesday night quickly turned to how different the April 2 General Election will be from the lightly attended primary election. The main reason is because there will be a $92.5 million school bond issue. Everyone expects that issue to do far more to drive voters to the polls than anything the City Commission is expected to do in the coming weeks.

How big of a bounce may it create in terms of voters?

Well, there were 5,390 voters in Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primary.

Douglas County United Way announced at its annual meeting that it had reached its goal of $1.7 million for the 2012-2013 United Way campaign.

Nearly 200 people turned out for a celebratory dinner at Maceliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, 1031 New Hampshire St., to honor the numerous businesses and volunteers who made the campaign a success.

Campaign chairwoman Becki Dick said reaching the goal, originally set at $1.8 million before being lowered, was not easy.

United Way was still $900,000 short of its goal when the campaign officially ended on Dec. 7. After a plea to local donors and businesses, the shortfall was erased.

Dick attributed the fundraising difficulties to a stagnant economy and the uncertainty of the presidential election in the fall, as well as the local United Way working through a transition period.

Dick said the United Way has switched from allocating funds to individual organizations to being more of a community quarterback, working with similar agencies to recognize their primary goals and distributing Please see UNITED, page 4A

SOUND OFF

Q:

I know the city has a sidewalk ordinance for clearing snow. Does it also have an ordinance governing private parking lots, in particular an apartment complex? If so, how much time does it afford the owner to remove all of the snow?

A:

Megan Gilliland, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s communications manager, provided this answer: The snow removal ordinance only applies to public sidewalks on the public right-of-way.

All sidewalks and parking lots located within an apartment complex, commercial business, strip mall and other similar locations are not regulated by the ordinance. Concerns need to be discussed with the property manager.

The federal lawsuit was dismissed in October. In court documents, KU officials contended Cook and several other people were laid off because of budgetary issues.

â&#x20AC;˘ A lawsuit filed by a former Kansas University employee who alleged age discrimination was dismissed earlier this month in Douglas County District Court.

Cynthia G. Cook filed lawsuits in both federal and district court in 2011. The lawsuits claimed that Cook, who was born in 1957 and hired in 1980 as a secretary, was laid off in 2009 and passed over for another KU job that year because of her age. When she left the university, she was an information specialist in the customer service HOSPITAL center.

It could be argued that Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primary election may be a poor predictor of how the general election will shape up. But primary elections traditionally have had a pretty good crystal ball quality to them. In 2005 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; despite more than 10,000 new voters coming to the polls in the general election â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the top three winners in the primary election all ended up in the top three in the general election.

But the possible scenarios this time around will be good for political conversation over the next several weeks.

A Geography Lesson: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve put together a very quick and lazy analysis of voter returns.

(Descriptions like that are why a career in marketing has never worked out for me.) Last night I got a breakdown of the vote by precincts. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve quickly made a list of how many precincts each candidate won. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interesting but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t read too much into it because several of the precincts were only separated by three or four votes. It also is worth remembering that the precinct totals only include Election Day votes. Advance votes have been counted but havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet been added in on a precinct by precinct basis.

Anyway, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I found: Mike Amyx, the top vote winner, won or tied for first in 24 precincts. They were spread out all over the city. Just try finding an area of town that Amyx didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have some success in. Jeremy Farmer, the second place winner, won or tied for first in eight precincts.

He also had victories in a wide area, including both in eastern and western Lawrence. Scott Criqui, the fifth-place winner, won or tied for first in five precincts. They all appeared to be in either central or East Lawrence. Rob Chestnut, the fourth-place winner, won four precincts. They all appeared to be in west Lawrence.

Leslie Soden, the sixthplace winner, won or tied

Drug-testing bill adds legislators to list

TOPEKA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Kansas Senate tentatively approved legislation Wednesday requiring drug tests for some people seeking certain welfare benefits, after amending it to require the same scruBy Adam Strunk tiny of legislators.

The measure also Read more responses and add your thoughts at LJWorld.com would require additional reporting by employers to Have you ever been state officials the results of failed drug tests by job in a talent show? applicants. The voice vote after nearly four hours of Asked on Massachusetts debate advanced the bill to Street final Senate action Thursday. Passage there would send it to the House. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think any time you vet a bill of this importance through four hours of debate it strengthens the bill,â&#x20AC;? said Senate Vice President Jeff King, an Independence Republican and the legislationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sponsor.

The bill would require the Department of Children and Family Services to screen for illegal drug Kassidy Mahoney, use applicants for Temstudent, porary Assistance for Lawrence Needy Families benefits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes.

if the applicants qualify for the health care services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is not meant to be a punitive measure, and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe it is a punitive measure,â&#x20AC;? King said.

Members of the Senateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Democratic minority amended the bill during debate to include legislators, arguing itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only fair to hold elected officials to the same scrutiny as individuals seeking government assistance.

Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley asked King why his bill singled out those on cash assistance or unemployed.

Hensley argued that there were others getting state benefits through various programs, including lucrative tax credits and exemptions for businesses, and that legislators shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t single out the poor for drug testing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fair is fair.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consistent should be consistent,â&#x20AC;? Hensley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you get assistance from the state, whether it be tax credits, then we should be consistent.â&#x20AC;?

King said it was because he had heard from constituents who wondered why something wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t being done to help those people and get them treatment and help them find employment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think this bill is welltargeted,â&#x20AC;? King said.

The addition of legis-

lators to the testing program initially was rejected over concerns raised by King that such provisions would be unconstitutional. Hensley resubmitted the amendment with the same standards of reasonable suspicion for TANF applicants. How such testing could practically be applied to lawmakers was not immediately clear.

Sen. Oletha FaustGoudeau, a Wichita Democrat, objected to the bill because she said it would unfairly target women, who she said make up 90 percent of the applications for TANF funds. She said that DCFS already had the ability under federal guidelines to screen for drug use and that the bill was unnecessary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why do we think that poor women with children are using drugs more than the average citizen who does not need that additional assistance?â&#x20AC;?

Faust-Goudeau asked.

Some Republicans opposed the bill on grounds that King couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t provide enough information about the potential cost to provide drug treatment services. Estimates were given that it could cost as much as $6,300 per person for treatment for a sixto nine-month program, though King said it was more likely the cost would be closer to $2,200 for shorter-term programs.

for first in three precincts.

East and central Lawrence were her wheelhouse.

Terry Riordan, the thirdplace vote winner, won or tied for first in just two precincts. But as the overall results would suggest, he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do poorly in really any region.

The Recreation Center: So, what did this primary election say about how voters feel about the proposed $25 million city recreation center? Beats me. Amyx was the top vote winner, and he has been expressing a lot of concerns about the project. He has called for a public vote on the issue.

But the second- and thirdplace winners, Farmer and Riordan, both have been generally supportive of the project.

Chestnut, in fourth, hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really landed in one camp or the other, although he has raised some questions about the financial aspects of the proposal.

The fifth- and sixthplace finishers, Criqui and Soden, both have expressed multiple concerns with the recreation center project and the lack of a public election on the issue.

What will be interesting to see is how big of an issue the recreation center will be in the general election.

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one thought: Historically, fifth- and sixthplace finishers have had a tough row to hoe to break into the top three of the general election. I wonder if Criqui and Soden will try to make the recreation center issue more prominent to give their campaigns a jolt of momentum with new voters. I have no clue what their strategies will be, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be watching to see if candidates start running ads and such around the issue.

Amyx told me last night that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s confident the recreation center will be an issue, even though the City Commission is expected to issue bids for the project before the April 2 election. But hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an important thing to remember about that: It will be the next City Commission that will be asked to approve those construction bids for the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have something that has been all the talk for the last several months to suddenly just not be an issue,â&#x20AC;? Amyx said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It needs to be an issue because the next commission will be involved with it a lot.â&#x20AC;?

TOPEKA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A House committee Wednesday approved a bill that provides for the possible imprisonment of federal authorities who try to enforce federal gun laws in Kansas.

House Bill 2199 was approved on a voice vote without opposition by the House Federal and State Affairs Committee and will next be considered by the full House.

Called the Second Amendment Protection Act, the measure says that any personal firearm, accessory or ammunition that is owned or manufactured in Kansas and that remains in the state is not subject to federal law.

And under the bill, federal authorities trying to enforce any kind of rule on such a firearm would face possible prison time.

The Kansas attorney generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office noted problems with this provision, saying if Kansas officers tried to prevent federal authorities from enforcing federal gun laws, the Kansas officers could face charges of obstruction of justice.

But the billâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief sponsor, Rep. John Rubin, R-

Shawnee, disagreed with that analysis.

Rubin, however, did agree to strike from the bill an earlier provision that would have prohibited doctors from inquiring whether a patient owns a gun.

The Kansas Medical Society opposed that provision, saying that sometimes physicians seek information about guns at home as a safety precaution when treating patients who may be depressed or taking medications.

Rep. Steve Brunk, RWichita, said the provision needed to be removed to make the legislation more acceptable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want this to go out with the band playing and the colors flying,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Even though the provision was removed, several committee members indicated they wanted to bring up the physician prohibition later as an amendment to the bill or possibly in another bill. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Statehouse reporter Scott Rothschild can be reached at 785-423-0668.

A bill pushed by abortion opponents that would require the Kansas University Medical Center to establish a center that focuses on adult stem cell research will be debated today in the Senate.

Senate Bill 199, which would create the Midwest Stem Cell Therapy Center, was authored by 22 conservative Republican senators, including Senate President Susan Wagle, of Wichita, Majority Leader Terry Bruce, of Hutchinson, and Public Health and Welfare Chairwoman Mary PilcherCook, of Shawnee.

Gov. Sam Brownback also expressed support for the concept. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having an adult stem cell center is not only highly plausible, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being done and used in many places around the world,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If Kansas could take a leadership position in that, it could be a highly useful thing for people to get treatments. There are number of different maladies now being treated by noncontroversial stem cell treatments.â&#x20AC;?

Under the proposal, KU would appoint a director of the center who would be responsible for over-

/,%(57< +$// 1"" //. 0"(#*(*5

sight of patient treatment and research with adult, cord blood and other nonembryonic stem cells.

The director could solicit grants, gifts and contributions. The bill also sets up a 13-member advisory board.

The center would require $1.1 million to renovate a lab and hire staff, and $750,000 annually after that. But the funding has not been secured.

Several senators said they opposed the bill because the proposal didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go through the normal appropriations process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is really not the way that one puts together

a first-rate, state-of-the-art research center,â&#x20AC;? said Sen. Laura Kelly, D-Topeka.

Kelly said the proposal for such a center should first come from the Medical Center and then through the Kansas Board of Regents.

Sen. Marci Francisco, D-Lawrence, agreed, saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hesitant because this hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come through any proper channels.â&#x20AC;?

Kelly also said medical advisory boards traditionally are made up of experts in the field, while a majority of the proposed advisory board to the center will be made up of political appointees.

Tycoon touts mission to Mars

By Seth Borenstein Associated Press

WASHINGTON — It’s a road trip that could test the best of marriages: Mars.

A tycoon announced plans Wednesday to send a middle-aged couple on a privately built spaceship to slingshot around the red planet and come back home, hopefully with their bodies and marriage in one piece after 501 days of no-escape togetherness in a cramped capsule half the size of an RV. Under the audacious but bare-bones plan, the spacecraft would blast off less than five years from now and pass within 100 miles of the Martian surface. The cost was not disclosed, but outsiders put it at more than $1 billion.

The team of space veterans behind the project hasn’t quite figured out the technical details of the rocket they will use or the capsule the husband-andwife astronauts will live in

during the 16-month voyage. But they know it will be an adventure not for the weak of body or heart.

“This is not going to be an easy mission,” chief technical officer and potential crew member Taber MacCallum said.

“We called it the Lewis and Clark trip to Mars.”

The trying circumstances include: no showers, limits on toilet paper and clothing, drinking water made from the crew members’ recycled urine and sweat, and almost no privacy. But the flight also comes with never-beforeseen views of Mars. And there’s ample time for zero-gravity sex in space, something NASA doesn’t like to talk about.

As for why a man and a woman will be selected, “this is very symbolic and we really need it to represent humanity,” MacCallum said.

He said if it is a man and a woman on such a long, close-quarters voyage, it makes sense for them to

be married so that they can give each other the emotional support they will probably need when they look out the window and see Earth get smaller and more distant: “If that’s not scary, I don’t know what is.”

The private, nonprofit project, called Inspiration Mars, will get initial money from NASA engineer-turned-multimillionaire investment consultant Dennis Tito, the first space tourist. The organizers hope to raise the rest through donations, advertising and media partnerships.

NASA, which has talked about sending astronauts to orbit Mars by the mid2030s, will not be involved in this project. Instead, its backers intend to use a ship built by other aerospace companies, employing an austere design that could take people to Mars for a fraction of what it would cost the space agency to do with robots, officials said.

BUSINESS AT A GLANCE

Notable

With big, automatic budget cuts about to kick in, House Republicans are turning to mapping strategy for the next showdown just a month away, when a government shutdown instead of just a slowdown will be at stake.

Both topics are sure to come up at the White House meeting Friday between President Barack Obama and top congressional leaders, including Republican House Speaker John Boehner. A breakthrough on replacing or easing the imminent acrossthe-board spending cuts still seems unlikely.

BRIEFLY Hagel sworn in WASHINGTON (AP) — Chuck Hagel was sworn in Wednesday as defense secretary — President Barack Obama’s third in just over four years and the first who really wanted one of Washington’s toughest jobs.

Introducing himself to Pentagon workers shortly after taking the oath of office, Hagel said he was humbled by the opportunity and ready for the challenge. He survived a contentious confirmation process in which some Republican senators questioned his suitability for the job and suggested he lacked the character to lead the military.

“I’ll be honest, I’ll be direct, I’ll expect the same from you,” he told a standing-room-only audience of several hundred civilian Defense Department

Economists advise debt fixes

By Paul Wiseman Associated Press

WASHINGTON — An ax is scheduled to hit the federal budget Friday: Unless the White House and Congress reach a budget deal by then, automatic cuts will carve $85 billion from authorized spending through Sept. 30 and $1.2 trillion over the next decade.

The cuts in defense spending, unemployment benefits and other programs could slow an already struggling economy. And they would leave unaddressed the biggest long-term threats to the government’s finances — rising bills for Medicare and Social Security.

Economists say there’s a better way. Shrinking the federal debt doesn’t have to mean either hurting the economy now or ignoring the spending burdens of the future.

Economists widely agree that policymakers should delay deep cuts such as the ones slated to take effect Friday until the economy has strengthened. But they say lawmakers should come up with a realistic long-term plan to fix the debt as soon as possible.

The plan would raise revenue and promote economic efficiency by closing tax loopholes, and it would focus cuts on the health care spending that will rise relentlessly as the vast baby

boom generation retires.

In the short term, though, what most worries economists is the threat of deep cuts this year.

The cutting set to start Friday is “haphazard, and cuts good programs and bad. It’s not good budgeting practice,” says Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics.

When a government spends more than it collects in taxes in a year, it runs an annual deficit. Every annual deficit adds to the accumulated federal debt.

For the United States, both numbers look bad.

Annual deficits have exceeded $1 trillion the past four years. The federal debt has reached $11.7 trillion, not including money that federal agencies have borrowed from each other, including from the Social Security trust fund. If nothing is done about the long-term budgetary burdens, the debt will reach $19.9 trillion by 2023, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

Efforts to close the budget gap have been stymied

by Republicans’ refusal to accept new tax increases and Democrats’ insistence that any spending cuts be matched by tax increases.

Democrats are also reluctant to shrink spending on popular entitlement programs such as Medicare and Social Security.

How to choose the best light bulbs

A CUT ABOVE

By Stacy Chandler MCT

Buying a light bulb used to be easy. And it used to be something you did several times a year.

But now, “a lot of people are starting to look at light bulbs as an investment,” says Jaclyn Pardini, a spokeswoman for Lowe’s Home Improvement stores.

The incandescent bulbs in wide use ever since Thomas Edison received a patent for his version in 1880 are being phased out. A federal law passed in 2007 ends incandescent manufacturing and importing in the U.S. by the end of 2014.

In their place are more energy-efficient replacements that come in a dizzying array of hues and shapes.

But you’ll want to choose carefully. Those CFLs might be with you for the next nine years or so. And if you spring for an LED bulb, you’re really in it for the long haul.

ACCORDING TO THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION, about 36,000 people are treated each year for chain-saw-related injuries, and the risk increases after storms where tree damage has occurred.

Safety advice for pruning trees with chain saws

A

lthough safety is always important when pruning trees, I worry the most when we have a winter storm — whether it brings wind, heavy snow loads, or ice that coats and weighs the branches to the point of breakage.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 36,000 people are treated each year for chain-saw-related injuries, and the risk increases after storms where tree damage has occurred.

You can reduce the potential for damage to the trees by following good maintenance practices when the weather is fairer, and you can reduce the potential for damage to yourself and your property by following these few safety tips.

First, look up and look around. If there are utility lines running through the tree, you are at high risk for electrocution if you’re doing any kind of pruning in the tree. If the line is a service line that runs only to your house, your utility provider may be willing to take the line down at a scheduled time and put it back up when the pruning is complete. If the line(s) serve multiple properties, consult an arborist.

Garden Calendar

are under tension from ice or snow, or are supporting other branches, the risk of the tree or branch doing something unexpected is even higher.

Second, hire a professional if possible. I understand the desire to do it yourself, but sometimes the risks outweigh the potential benefits. I have heard too many stories about trees falling on roofs and cars to know this is true — the damages are most ofsmithjen@ksu.edu ten more than what the certified arborist would have charged for the work.

following with your chain saw: hard hat, protective shield for face or safety glasses, hearing protection, gloves, chaps made especially for chain saw use, and boots (steel toe preferred).

This might seem like a lot, but, again, it’s likely cheaper than the repair or doctor bill if something goes wrong. You should also avoid baggy clothes that can get hung up on brush or, worse, in the saw itself.

Although all of the personal protective equipment is important, chain saw chaps are one item I see people ignore. Chain saw chaps are made from material that is cut-resistant and will protect your legs from waist to ankle — probably the most likely area for injury from the chain saw itself.

Finally, always make sure to keep the saw properly maintained, including the right bar oil and a sharp chain. In addition, keep two hands on the saw, only cut when you have stable footing, and avoid cutting above shoulder height.

One-of-a-kind folk art lamps valuable

By Terry Kovel

“Folk art” is the confusing name given to some things made by untrained artists.

From the 1930s into the ’50s, antique collectors might have called these pieces “primitive” or named them for a region, like “Pennsylvania German style.” By the 1950s, some daring collectors were searching for woodcarvings, painted chests, sculptures and paintings that lacked the realism of a scene or portrait by a trained artist. Everything was handmade.

Today folk art includes not only informal handmade items but also commercial pieces like iron doorstops, carousel horses, store signs, weathervanes and some toys.

By the 1960s, there were homemade and factorymade folk art lamps as-

sembled from bottles, metal fire extinguishers, milk cans and store tins. Other lamps were made by Boy Scouts, prisoners, soldiers or housewives using patterns in craft magazines.

Driftwood, unsophisticated pottery, walnut shells and even antique toasters were used to make lamps. But the most popular and pricey appear to be constructions made of old cigar boxes, Popsicle sticks or hammered brass bullet casings.

Today, top prices are paid for lamps made of small glued pieces of carved wood that show the skill of the maker. Another style is “tramp art,” made from chip-carved pieces of cigar boxes.

The ice pop, invented in 1905, was named “Popsicle” in 1924. The wooden sticks from the icy treat were probably used for crafts from the beginning.

Boxes of unused sticks

were available in stores by the 1950s. Prices are based on the originality and talent of the lamp’s maker and how eager a collector is to own the unique piece, so they can range from $25 to thousands of dollars.

A one-of-a-kind 1910 floor lamp by an unknown artist sold last fall at Guyette, Schmidt & Deeter, a Maryland auction house, for a surprising $27,600, well over estimate. The 5-foot-tall lamp was made of carved and stained pine and cedar.

The wooden shade and center column are covered with carved and applied birds and designs.

Q:

I would like to know the order of marks on items made in Japan. Which is oldest, “Nippon,” “Made in Occupied Japan,” “Made in Japan” or just “Japan”?

Does it make a difference if the mark is red, green, black or another color?

A:

Most pieces marked with the name of a country were made after 1891, when the McKinley Tariff Act was passed. Pieces from Japan were marked “Nippon,” the transliteration of the Japanese word for Japan.

After 1915 the words “Made in...” usually were added. Beginning in 1921, U.S. Customs required country names to be in English, and the word “Japan” was used instead of “Nippon.”

Items marked “Made in Occupied Japan” were made between February 1947 and April 1952. After that, just the word “Japan” was used again.

According to experts on 19th- and 20th-century Japanese ceramics, the color does not help date a mark. Red, green and black were used most years. There is no explanation for when other colors were used.

THIS UNIQUE FLOOR LAMP is an expensive piece of folk art. It brought $27,600 at a November 2012 auction held at Guyette, Schmidt & Deeter of St. Michaels, Md.

Incandescent Cost: (one bulb): Less than $1; (to run for one year): $7.32 Life: 1,000 hours Pros: It’s the warm, soft light you grew up with.

Cons: A hot-blooded energy hog. Federal law is phasing them out after 2014.

Halogen Cost (one bulb): $2-$3; (to run for one year): $5.18 Life: 1,000-3,000 hours Pros: The closest still-legal thing to the soft glow of an incandescent light. They’re now “the designer’s choice in bulbs,” says Lowe’s spokeswoman Jaclyn Pardini.

Cons: You’re not gaining much in life span or efficiency over incandescents.

CFL (compact fluorescent lamp) Cost (one bulb): $1$2.50; (one year): $1.57 Life: 10,000 hours Pros: Here’s where energy efficiency really steps up. CFLs use 2/3 less energy than incandescents.

Cons: Early CFLs got a bad rap for being slow to warm up and casting harsh light. But they’ve improved a lot. Still, you reduce the life span a bit if you turn the light on and off a lot (less than 15 minutes of on time). Using CFLs in an enclosed fixture can also reduce their life span, but some newer models have overcome this.

Check the packaging for the bulb you’re considering.

Disposal can be a hassle.

Each CFL contains a small amount of mercury, so you need to recycle old bulbs.

LED (light-emitting diode) Cost (see note) (one bulb): $10-$30; (one year): $1.50 Life: 20,000-50,000 hours Pros: Extremely long life.

Cutting-edge technology.

Cons: Much higher upfront cost than other bulb types. But, Jaclyn Pardini says, “the potential return in energy savings and your time in changing out light bulbs is far greater over time. So it’s more of a longer-term investment.”

Like CFLs, some LED bulbs can deteriorate in the heat of an enclosed fixture, so consult the packaging.

(Note: Cost figures are averages and based on 60W-equivalent single bulbs. Annual cost and life span based on three hours of use daily.)

Important choice It’s important for local voters to look at the experience and knowledge candidates would bring to the Lawrence City Commission.

V

oting for a city commissioner is an important opportunity and responsibility.

Those elected to the commission for two- and four-year terms will play a significant role in the future of Lawrence. The three individuals elected on April 2 will represent a majority of the five-member commission. Voting as a group, they would control the city in most every respect.

The election of city commissioners should not be a popularity contest but, rather, a serious study of the experience, knowledge and talent an individual would bring to the city’s governing body.

It’s a big business, and it is questionable to what extent it should be a “learn on the job” exercise. Those seeking a position on the commission should have some skills, knowledge and experience that give the city the best odds of continued growth in an environment where competition among cities for growth, fiscal soundness, vision and quality of life is becoming more intense year by year.

Also, the Lawrence City Commission faces another responsibility, and that is the importance of working with Kansas University officials and sustaining the reputation the city and university enjoyed for many years of having one of the nation’s finest “town-gown” relationships. This positive working relationship was achieved not by city or university officials thinking or behaving in a manner that suggested they were “buying” that relationship with favors, but rather through a sound, cooperative and mutually respectful understanding.

The April 2 elections are important for current residents and will play a significant role in how the city progresses in the years to come, whether it moves forward or stagnates because various factions in the community are pushing narrow-minded, selfish interests. Many in Lawrence are proud to point to the wide diversity in the city as one of its strengths, but, at the same time, carried to the extreme, this situation can hinder the city’s growth.

Now is the time for city voters to study the backgrounds, experience, knowledge and expertise that each candidate would bring to the city.

It’s an important election that deserves the close inspection of each candidate by voters.

Politics driving government dysfunction WASHINGTON — Some of us can recall the helpless feeling of being in a vehicle driven by someone who is intoxicated. If you’re like me, you don’t want to cause a scene unless the driving is really erratic. But there comes a moment when you need to say: Stop the car. You’re going to hurt someone. Hand over the keys.

We have a political system that is the equivalent of a drunken driver. The primary culprits are the House Republicans. They are so intoxicated with their own

Party? Today’s Republicans seem to suffer from what’s sometimes known as Obama Derangement Syndrome, in which their hatred of the president blinds them to the country’s interests.” ideology that they are ready to drive the nation’s car off the road. I don’t know if the sequestration that’s set to begin Friday will produce a little crisis or a big one; the sad fact is that the Republicans don’t know either, yet they’re still willing to put the country at risk to make a political point.

I’m no fan of the way President Obama has handled the fiscal crisis. As I’ve written often, he needs to provide the presidential leadership that leads Congress and the country toward fiscal stability. In my analogy, he should take the steering wheel firmly in hand and drive the car toward the destination where most road maps show we need to be heading — namely, a balanced program of

cuts in Social Security and Medicare and modest increases in revenue.

Instead, Obama has chosen to be co-dependent, as the psychologists say about those who foster the destructive behavior of others. He double-dared the reckless Republicans by proposing the sequester back in 2011.

And rather than stepping up to leadership since his reelection, he has triple-dared the GOP hotheads with a partisan inaugural address and weeks of what the Republicans rightly have called a “road show” of blame-game politics. Doesn’t he see that the GOP is addicted to this showdown at Thunder Road?

This is all the power the GOP has these days, really — the ability to scare the heck out of everybody and run the car into the ditch.

Much as I would criticize Obama, it’s wrong to say that both sides are equally to blame for what’s about to hit us. This isn’t a one-off case of the Republicans using Obama’s sequestration legislation to force reckless budget cuts. It’s a pattern of behavior: First the Republicans were prepared to shut down the government and damage the national credit

rating with their showdown over the debt ceiling; then they were careening toward the “fiscal cliff.” This isn’t a legislative tactic anymore, it’s an addiction.

Where did this recklessness come from? Only a few years ago, George W. Bush was the compassionate conservative and John McCain won the GOP nomination as the Republican who knew how to govern across party lines. What happened to that Republican Party? Today’s Republicans seem to suffer from what’s sometimes known as Obama Derangement Syndrome, in which their hatred of the president blinds them to the country’s interests. To be honest, this malady is eerily similar to the Bush Derangement Syndrome that afflicted Democrats during the previous decade. The Democrats were so incensed back then they stopped caring if America succeeded or failed in Iraq; the Republicans are so angry now that they don’t care if the economy goes to hell.

So how can we get these incapacitated drivers to stop before they do any more damage? If this were really a case of chronic drinkers, the answer would be an in-

Culture has gone over the ‘edge’ The tweet went as follows: “Everyone else seems afraid to say it, but that Quvenzhane Wallis is kind of a (expletive), right?”

The missing word is a bit of verbal sewage sometimes used to disparage women.

Begins with “c,” rhymes with “hunt.” Its target here, however, was not a woman.

Quvenzhane Wallis is the actress who was nominated for an Academy Award for her performance as Hushpuppy in the celebrated film “Beasts of the Southern Wild.” She was all of 6 when the movie was filmed. She is 9 now.

The tweet, penned by a so-far anonymous writer and posted by the Onion, the satirical newspaper and website, was intended as a joke, a meta commentary on the sniping and backbiting of Hollywood. Yes, the Onion snatched the tweet back an hour later. Yes, it promptly apologized.

And yes, funny covers a multitude of sins. The problem though, is that this was not remotely funny. It was, however, profoundly illustrative.

There are some things you just do not say. Not because there is a law against them, not because you don’t have the right. No, you don’t say them because you don’t. You know better. Or at least, you did.

These days, there is a good chance you don’t. These days, we worship at the altar of edgy.

You know edgy, of course.

It is the sine qua non of pop culture, represents rejection of the straightjacket of propriety and political correctness, celebrates the freedom found in bare-knuckle, im-

politic truth. As such, it has become a value unto itself, a synonym for good. Once upon a time, a comedian worked to be funny. Now, it seems they work to be edgy.

There is nothing wrong with edgy. Some of us can tell you how Lenny Bruce invented it, Richard Pryor perfected it and Norman Lear gave it a TV show. Some of us applauded as the new ethos made hamburger out of sacred cows, gave grandma the vapors and drove bluenose prudes to arias of apoplexy. Some of us knew that “edgy” allowed the saying of necessary things.

But what was said about Wallis, not to put too fine a point on it, was even less necessary than funny.

This is not a prayer for the resurrection of Bob Hope and Milton Berle or a plaint for the return of the day when Lucille Ball could not say “pregnant” on television. It is not a screed against potty-mouthed language nor even a rant against the Onion which, most days, hits the mark squarely with satire sharp enough for surgery.

No, this is simply an observation that something is lost when going too far becomes both the end and the means thereto. And that, in making “edge” its defining value, American popular culture increasingly winds up embodying what it purports to lampoon. This is what happened with the Wallis “joke” which, it bears repeating, was meant to satirize the nastiness of Hollywood gossip. Instead, it becomes an example thereof.

Something similar happened when Oscar host Seth MacFarlane performed a song about women who have played nude scenes on film.

“We Saw Your Boobs” was no spoof of misogyny. It was misogyny.

In making “edge” the prime directive of American culture, we lose the ability — and willingness — to tell the difference. In embracing tastelessness for its own sake, we coarsen our own selves and embrace a self-perpetuating mindset under which to even take offense is to render yourself irrelevant, a pious naif who doesn’t get the whole concept of self-aware humor for a self-aware age.

But it is possible to get that concept, indeed, to have been laughing along as it was invented — and yet feel there is something broken about a culture and time where it is possible to call a 9-year-old girl a hateful thing and expect laughter.

It suggests a culture that has, indeed, gone to the edge — and fallen off.

tervention to keep them off the road. In politics, the public gets to intervene through elections. We just had one, and the Republicans lost, big time. Yet it didn’t seem to make much difference. The House Republicans are still grabbing for the wheel and the car is rumbling toward trouble.

Obama tries everything to gain control — except a clear, firm presidential statement that speaks to everyone on board, those who voted for him and those who didn’t — that could get the country where it needs to go.

The weird thing is that, politics aside, there is every reason to be optimistic about America’s future. The country’s financial markets are resilient; the housing slump finally seems to be ending; a new era of lowcost shale oil and gas is beginning and, as a result, the U.S. is becoming a competitive manufacturing economy again.

There’s one ruinously dysfunctional part of the American story, and that’s the breakdown of our political system.

It’s time for an intervention, to take the keys away.

PUBLIC FORUM

Buyer’s choice To the editor: Years ago, before I moved to Lawrence, one of the things that attracted me to the area was the many fine independent bookstores. I am told, not that many years ago there were seven music stores downtown; now there’s one. I do realize it’s technology and changing times.

I have done my share of shopping online for books, CD’s and everything else. My son told me an idea I have since adopted. He finds a product, let’s say a book, online, then he goes to the local store and orders it! The cost turns out to be about the same, the difference is he is supporting a local job and contributing to the local economy.

Actions have consequences. Do we want a world of a few big box stores and a handful of online sites selecting our products and becoming our total shopping experience?

Or would we rather interact with interesting local people selling things in settings that allow us to browse and maybe discover other things we would have never seen in the online environment while helping support our community?

Your dollar is your vote on what kind of shopping experience you want. Do you want your dollar to support some big out-ofstate corporation or would you rather support our local tax base and folks who are our friends and relatives.

Your choice.

Kansas’ Self had a ball at ISU

HIGH SCHOOL BOYS SUB-STATES

Angry ‘Bird

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University senior Elijah Johnson, who had just scored 39 points in an amazing 108-96 victory over Iowa State, presented a gift to coach Bill Self on Monday night in a jubilant Hilton Coliseum locker room.

“They gave me the ball. It was nice in the locker room,” said Self, who accepted a keepsake commemorating his 500th career coaching victory.

“I said, ‘I don’t remember 100, 200, 300 or 400, but I think I may remember this one. It was an unbelievable game and win. What it means is you are getting old,” added Self, 50, who has a 20-year career mark of 500-162 — 293-57 in 10 seasons at KU. “We’ve had so many good players. Hopefully we’ll get them here and win a few more.”

Self said it was the best locker room of the year and not because he’d wrapped up his 500th victory. KU remained tied with Kansas State for first place in the Big 12 race at 12-3.

“They were fired up,” Self said on his weekly “Hawk Talk” radio show. “The guys love Elijah (whose 39 points were most by a Jayhawk since Terry Brown’s 42 against North Carolina State on Jan. 5, 1991). They had some song or dance, and were singing with him. We were a tight-knit group. Everybody to a man was so excited for Elijah.”

Self, who has thanked his family members, players, assistant coaches and administrators, said he definitely appreciates the three college coaches he worked for: Larry Brown at KU, as well as Eddie Sutton and Leonard Hamilton at Oklahoma State.

“Coach Brown to me has as good a basketball mind as there is,” Self said. “Leonard Hamilton is the hardest worker I ever worked for.

Coach Sutton to me is the perfect college coach, combining recruiting, family atmosphere.”

He also thanked coaches he played for: Paul Hansen at Oklahoma State and Mike de la Garza at Edmond (Okla.)

Memorial High.

“Mike de la Garza is the best salesman I ever learned under, selling the program to the school and community.

He’s so enthusiastic. Paul Hansen is the nicest man I’ve ever been around,” Self said.

“I’ve stolen from all of them.

I remember after I started coaching, I called coach Hansen. I said, ‘I understand better now why you did what

FREE STATE’S COLE MOREANO (13) SPLITS THROUGH THE DEFENSE FOR A BASKET in the Firebirds’ 53-47 victory over GardnerEdgerton on Wednesday in Gardner.

Fired-up Moreano sparks Firebirds

By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

GARDNER — The play was called “Jayhawk,” and Free State High’s Cody Scott knew that teammate Cole Moreano was about to get the ball on the perimeter.

With six minutes left, Gardner-Edgerton had just taken its first lead since midway through the first quarter — and after taking a quick glance at Moreano, Scott knew that the junior was ticked off.

“As soon as he gets the ball, I know it’s going in,” Scott said. “It’s just automatic when he gets that look in his eye.”

Sure enough, Moreano curled around a screen, swished the three-pointer, then screamed, “Let’s go, baby!” toward the Free State bench.

It was the offensive — and emotional — boost that the seventh-seeded Firebirds needed, as they never trailed again in a 53-47 boys basketball upset over second-

seeded Gardner-Edgerton on Wednesday night at GardnerEdgerton.

“I was just excited that we got out of here with a win,” Moreano said, “because that’s a really good team — a really good team.”

After giving Free State the lead — and ending a 9-0 Gardner-Edgerton run — Moreano gave his team some cushion on the next possession.

From a step beyond the arc, the 6-foot-4 guard knocked in a guarded three to put the

Firebirds up, 43-38, with 5:07 left, once again roaring back toward his own bench.

“He gets so excited. He gets pumped up,” Scott said. “That’s just his adrenaline and his love for the game coming out.”

The Trailblazers eventually tied it at 47 with 2:23 left, but Blake Winslow and Moreano each hit a pair of crucial free throws, while Free State’s defense posted a shutout the rest of the way.

BV West ends Lions’ run

LAWRENCE HIGH FRESHMAN JUSTIN ROBERTS REACTS after missing an open three in the Lions’ 60-55 loss to Blue Valley West on Wednesday at LHS.

As much as everyone hates it, it’s nearly unavoidable. The last postgame talk of the season almost always turns out to be the most difficult, and Lawrence High’s boys basketball team, ranked No. 7 in Class 6A, didn’t expect to deal with such a discussion in its home locker room Wednesday night.

However, the Lions, undersized in their sub-state opener like they so often have been, struggled to overcome the length and bulk of Blue Val-

ley West inside. And although LHS fought back and took a one-point lead in the fourth quarter, the Jaguars thwarted Lawrence’s state-tournament dreams with a 60-55 victory at LHS. The finality of the loss left Mike Lewis and his players somber.

“It’s just kind of a slap in the face,” Lewis said. “All of a sudden, you’re done. We don’t get to come to practice tomorrow. The reality that it’s all over is pretty difficult to deal with.”

The Lions (12-9) tied the game at 51 on a baseline drive

from sophomore backup guard John Barbee with 3:08 left in the fourth quarter, but the Jaguars (12-9) scored the next six points in a stretch that epitomized how they escaped The Jungle and advanced to a sub-state championship game against Olathe South.

BVW senior power forward Joey Lillis scored on an offensive rebound, and the Jags hit four free throws to build a 5751 advantage with 26 seconds left. At 6-foot-7, Lillis finished with 16 points and 17 rebounds.

Kansas women fall at ISU, 83-68 J-W Staff Reports

AMES, IOWA — Angel Goodrich and Monica Engelman combined to score 41 points, but lack of an inside game doomed Kansas University’s women’s basketball team to an 83-68 loss to No. 23 Iowa State on Wednesday at Hilton Coliseum.

Goodrich had 21 points, seven rebounds, nine assists and four steals, while fellow senior Engelman added 20 points, three boards and a pair of assists for KU (16-11 overall, 7-9 Big 12).

But center Carolyn Davis was held to a season-low two points on 1-for-5 shooting before fouling out, and KU was outscored 36-16 in points in the paint (and 19-9 in points off turnovers).

“We were good in stretches, but the bad stretches lasted too long,” KU coach Bonnie Henrickson said. “Both (Angel and Monica) played Marcio Jose Sanchez/AP File Photo confidently, but we just didn’t have enough around them to- QUARTERBACK ALEX SMITH PASSES night. We really shot it and AGAINST SEATTLE in this file photo from had good rhythm (early), and Oct. 18, 2012, in San Francisco. Smith reportedly has been acquired by the Please see KU WOMEN, page 3B Kansas City Chiefs from the 49ers.

Chiefs acquire 49ers QB Smith SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Alex Smith quietly stayed behind the scenes after losing his job and watched from the sideline as San Francisco returned to the Super Bowl for the first time in 18 years.

Yet the No. 1 overall draft pick from 2005 did make one thing known: The veteran quarterback still considers himself a starter.

And he hoped to get that chance again. Now, he appears to have it.

The Kansas City Chiefs have agreed to acquire Smith from the 49ers in the first

major acquisition since Andy Reid took over as the team’s new coach in early January, a person with knowledge of the trade told the Associated Press on Wednesday.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal cannot become official until March 12, when the NFL’s new business year begins. Another person familiar with the swap said the 49ers will get a second-round pick in April’s draft, No. 34 overall, and a conditional pick in the 2014 draft.

FSHS, LHS girls gird for Olathe foes

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Free State High girls basketball coach Bryan Duncan knows most everyone in his position — preparing to face an opponent with a losing record in the first round of sub-state — would say the same thing: This team really is better than its record.

Unlike some coaches, Duncan might have a point about Olathe North (5-15), which plays at FSHS (15-5, ranked No. 9 in Class 6A) at 7 tonight.

When the Sunflower

League coaches convened in the preseason to predict where each team would end up in the standings, no one thought FSHS GIRLS the Eagles w o u l d Who: Olathe only win North (5-15) one league vs. Free game.

State (15-5) “ T h e vast ma- When: 7 jority of tonight p e o p l e Where: Free predicted State Olathe North to really move up the ladder in the league,” Duncan said.

That’s because O-North has 6-foot-4 senior forward Jessica Sheble, a Kansas State University signee who often produces double-doubles.

“She can do some damage inside on both offense and defense,” Duncan said, “so we’ve just got to make sure we contain her.”

The Eagles typically play a 2-3 zone and try to slow the pace. Still, Duncan, whose Firebirds won, 53-42, at O-North on Feb. 15, said the FSHS rotation — Kennedy Kirkpatrick, A’Liyah Rogers, Chelsea Casady, Scout Wiebe,

“We’ve had games this year where we’ve played really quality opponents and had stretches where we’ll play really well for one or two quarters and either be leading in a game or at least be competitive,” Wood said. “But in those games we have that quarter where we fall apart or the other team steps up their level of play, and that’s where they hurt us.”

BISHOP SEABURY SENIOR ALEXA GAUMER GETS THROUGH THE PAINT for a layup against Wabaunsees’s Alli Terrapin during the Seahawks’ 50-49 sub-state victory Wednesday at Seabury.

Gaumer lifts Seabury girls J-W Staff Reports

Alex Gaumer made one of two free throws with 3.5 seconds left to give Bishop Seabury a 50-49, first-round Class 2A girls basketball sub-state victory over Wabaunsee on Wednesday at Seabury.

Gaumer made 10 of 12 free throws in the fourth quarter to hold off Wabaunsee, which had stormed back from a 13-point deficit. Wabaunsee made 16 of 21 free throws in the fourth quarter, which turned into a foul-fest.

“We fouled a lot in the fourth quarter,” said Seabury coach Keith Smith.

“We got in foul trouble, and they were shooting free throws with the clock stopped. It was just foul after foul. That last two minutes took about

you did.’ I learned a ton from all of them.”

Jeff Goodman of CBSsports.com points out that Self could win an astronomical number of games.

“He’s averaged 33 wins per season over the past six years, more than anyone else in the nation. If he can go 15 more years and average 33 victories, that would put him in the 1,000-victory range,” Goodman writes. “He’s in Year 10 in Lawrence and continues to rack up the victories at an alarming pace.”

25 minutes with the clock stopped.”

Courtney Hoag led Seabury with 21 points. Seabury made 14 of 22 free throws in the fourth quarter to stem the tide.

“We moved the ball real well (for three quarters), and talked on defense,” said Smith. “They played exceptional the first three quarters. We had about a 10-point lead with four minutes left, and I said, ‘Let’s get them out of their zone and take care of the ball.’”

Seabury (9-9) will travel to Alma Wabaunsee on Friday to play Northern Heights in the sub-state semifinal.

McLemore’s early struggles: KU’s Ben McLemore, in today’s USA Today, recalls growing up in near poverty in St. Louis.

“You get those hunger pains. I am so hungry. We don’t have any food. What are we going to eat? Your stomach hurts. Then you get so upset and mad, like, no food. You start having tantrums and don’t want to do anything,” McLemore said, noting sometimes his family home was without heat in the winter.

McLemore, who is expected to be taken No. 1 or 2 in this year’s NBA Draft, wants to someday take care of his mom, who he said is currently unemployed.

I thought we were a lot better, but we had too many stretches with not much (offense) inside and defensive lapses.”

Trailing 56-44 with 15:00 left to play, Kansas used a 13-4 run to cut the deficit to three, 60-57.

However, Davis, Chelsea Gardner and Bunny Williams battled with foul trouble throughout the second half, and Iowa State (20-6, 11-5) took advantage.

Kansas tied its seasonhigh with 10 three-pointers and shot 41.7 percent from beyond the arc.

KU led, 22-20, with 11:56 left in the first half, but Iowa State used its threepoint accuracy to stifle the Jayhawks.

The Cyclones hit their first six threes and seven of their first eight.

ISU led by as many as nine points, 42-33, in the first half and carried the lead into the half, 44-39.

Iowa State had four players in double-figure points, led by Chelsea Poppens (22) and Hallie Christofferson (20).

Kansas will meet Oklahoma at 7 p.m. Saturday in Norman, Okla.

BVW kept Lawrence at bay by getting to the foul line, where the Jaguars made nine of their 14 tries.

Lawrence’s amped up defensive pressure in the second half provided it with the energy it needed to fight back from a 30-21 halftime deficit. With Austin Abbott, Justin Roberts, Drake Hofer, Jake Mosiman and Anthony Bonner harassing BVW ball-handlers, they forced enough turnovers to make a run but also picked up fouls in droves. The Jags scored 14 of their 30 second-half points at the charity stripe, and it was a trade-off with which Lewis could live. “(The defensive pressure) also led to that energy, and that offense that comes from your defense,” he said.

LHS trapped its foe in the back-court for the first time to open the third quarter, and the attack revved up the Lions’ offense. Following an Abbott steal, Mosiman drilled a three-pointer. Then Bonner fed Roberts for another three-point bomb. A Bonner drive earned him two free throws, which he converted. Roberts hit Abbott in transition for a layup at the 5:20 mark of the third, and all of a sudden a 10-0 explosion had the Lions leading, 31-30.

“Great team effort on the defensive end,” Free State coach Chuck Law said, “and just enough on the offensive end to squeak it out.”

Free State built a 26-21 halftime lead by taking advantage of a sagging G-E defense that put little pressure on ball-handlers.

The Firebirds often passed it around the perimeter before finding a cutter to the basket for an open layup. Five Free State players had assists in the first half.

After building a 35-21 third-quarter lead, though, the Firebirds lost that advantage in a hurry. After four first-half turnovers, the Firebirds had nine giveaways in the third quarter alone, and GEHS used a 17-2 run to take a 38-37 lead with just over six minutes to play.

“They started making pushes, we panicked,” Scott said, “and then we overcame it.”

A big reason for that was Moreano, who went 5-for-5 from the floor and 2-for-2 from three in the second half.

“I thought everything was going to go in,” Moreano said. “I should have made two more free throws, but everything else looked good.”

Moreano led Free State with a game-high 19 points on 7-for-9 shooting with nine rebounds and three blocks. Scott added 12

Pistons 96, Wizards 95 WASHINGTON — Brandon Knight returned from a right knee injury to score a career-high 32 points, Greg Monroe added 26 points and 11 rebounds on the court where he played college home games for Georgetown, Jose Calderon finished with 18 assists, and Detroit escaped with a victory over Washington on Wednesday night.

The Pistons have won six games in a row over the Wizards, and 14 of their past 16 meetings.

ship and let the past go. So I made the effort, and our marriage now seems fine.

We are happy with each other, but I still suffer with the mental images. I fear that I have demeaned myself by re-establishing an intimate relationship with him. I wonder whether I might regain my selfesteem by telling him our marriage is over. I know there are other women in this situation, but I haven’t been able to find a support group. I am fortunate to have a job I am passionate about that allows me to enrich the lives of others. I

‘Parade’ ends memorably The war heats up as “Parade’s End” (8 p.m., HBO, part five of five) concludes. This extraordinary hour features harrowing trench battle scenes and depictions of the bravery, confusion and fear of men mired in mud and subject to unceasing bombardment. It’s quite remarkable.

The drama’s powerful anti-war message centers on the action far from battle, condemning the vanities and delusions of a high command far more interested in appearances, professional advancement and social connections than the lives of millions of men squandered in the trenches.

Viewers hoping “Parade’s End” would provide a “Downton Abbey” substitute will have to focus on the wardrobes and interior decoration.

That happier series used World War I as a melodramatic plot device.

“Parade’s End” concludes with the war obliterating almost everything that matters.

Hank comes closer to locating his wife on “Zero Hour” (7 p.m., ABC). He’d better hurry up, because the audience for this show is harder to find than the answers to a hundred-year-old Rosicrucian mystery. The ratings for the debut of “Zero” set a new low for scripted series on ABC. That sad number shrank by more than 20 percent for the second episode.

The terminally deadpan series “Nathan for You” (9:30 p.m., Comedy Central) consists of mock videos of a young business school graduate pitching ideas to boost sales for small businesses. Low-key laughs give way to crude scatological jokes when he advises a strip mall yogurt shop to develop a flavor similar to manure. Help yourself.

Tonight’s other highlights

The gang takes a course with professor Cornwallis (Malcolm McDowell) on “Community” (7 p.m., NBC).

The top 40 semifinalists emerge on “American Idol” (8 p.m., Fox).

The contestants compete with designs aimed at senior citizens on “Project Runway” (8 p.m., Lifetime).

Erica and Tina may be ending more than their tour on the season finale of “Mary Mary” (8 p.m., WE).

Charlie gets a celebrity patient (Cee Lo Green) on “Anger Management” (8:30 p.m., FX).

“American Greed” (9 p.m., CNBC) profiles the fraudulent claims of a wealth-building club.

Anderson Cooper hosts “The Bully Effect” (9 p.m., CNN).

know I am a useful human being. Please help me get over this. — California Dear California: You must decide whether you are truly ready to leave your marriage. Forty years is a long time. But your husband’s track record doesn’t inspire confidence in his future fidelity, and his unwillingness to commit to counseling indicates that he wants things to be exactly as they were before.

First, see your doctor and get checked for sexually transmitted diseases, and then find another counselor. The one you are seeing is not helping you make the best decisions.

You also can find online support by typing “infidelity support group” into your search engine.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Thursday, Feb. 28: This year you seem to inspire others on a deep level. Your trademark will be to look squarely at life-and-death issues before coming to your own conclusions about a life philosophy. If you are single, you certainly are desirable. If you are attached, your sweetie most likely will want to participate in your search for depth and meaning.

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) Defer to others. You’ll come up with unusual answers because of your ability to bypass certain situations. Tonight: Listen to suggestions.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You might have more to complete than you realize. An associate or a meeting could be more challenging than you anticipated.

Tonight: Take care of yourself, first.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) A partner might be more possessive than you realize, and it could result in an unpleasant situation. Use your imagination in order to find an interesting path out of this problem. Tonight: Let your imagination call the shots.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You might want to go past a boundary, but someone could put his or her foot down just as you are about to break free. Detach rather than react. Tonight: At home.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Make an effort to touch base with others in your immediate circle. You could be taken aback by what someone has been up to behind your back. Tonight: Be more whimsical.

I am not going to the wedding. I wouldn’t know that girl if I saw her on the street. She has ignored me all these years, and I don’t believe it is fair that she expects me to buy her a wedding gift.

I think this is the only reason she remembered that she has a grandmother.

Am I wrong to feel this way? — Forgotten Gram Dear Gram: You are not obligated to attend this wedding or give a gift if you don’t wish to.

During this time, he was always considerate and loving to me. I thought we had a wonderful marriage. When I confronted him with the evidence, he finally confessed. We went to a counselor, but after a single half-hour session, he wouldn’t go back.

Aside from dealing with the shock and humiliation of the betrayal, I have two problems: First, I cannot forgive myself for not taking a firm stand when I first suspected his cheating. I put it out of my mind and continued as before. The second problem is that I cannot erase images of his affairs.

My counselor, along with some books I have read, says to re-establish our close, loving relation-

Chiefs CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

After spending his first eight up-and-down years with the 49ers, Smith will get a new start. The Chiefs will get the proven playcaller they hope can help turn things around under a new coach much the way Smith did under Jim Harbaugh in San Francisco.

“You never know when your opportunity’s going to come,” Smith said late in the season. “The good ones are ready when they do come.”

The Chiefs have gone this route before, acquiring Joe Montana from the 49ers nearly 20 years ago, in April 1993, after he won four Su-

per Bowls but gave way to Steve Young — San Francisco’s QB of the future.

Not so different from Smith’s situation last season behind second-year QB Colin Kaepernick.

Moving Smith was hardly unexpected. He realized it once Colin Kaepernick emerged as a capable starter over the season’s final two months, and Smith all but said goodbye with his first pro team when he played briefly in the regular-season finale against Arizona to cheers of “Let’s Go, Alex!” and “Alex!

Alex!” from the Candlestick Park crowd.

The Chiefs’ problems at QB are the single biggest reason they went 2-14 last season and secured the No. 1 pick in the draft for the first time in franchise history.
