Interest swells in Douglas County tax auction

from the church that was destroyed a week ago, Feb. 28, in the tornado that severely damaged the Wabaunsee County town of 200 people and killed a man.

“There’s probably things like this that people don’t pick up,” she said in her soft voice.

TOPEKA — Kansas is sometimes identified with Carrie Nation’s saloon-smashing and imposed its own Prohibition for decades, but legislators moved closer Tuesday to quietly repealing the state’s ban on happy hours at bars, taverns, clubs and restaurants.

The state House gave first-round approval to a bill repealing a law that prohibits businesses that sell alcoholic drinks from setting different prices at different times of the day.

The voice vote advanced the measure to final action, which is scheduled for today.

The bill is likely to pass the House, and senators have already approved a separate, similar measure. Legislators are considering more than a dozen liquor bills this year to loosen state laws that dictate who can sell beer, wine and hard liquor and under what conditions. A House committee reviewed a proposal Tues- LEGISLATURE day that eventually would allow grocery and convenience stores to sell full-strength beer and wine.

The House advanced the happy hour bill without much debate, something that surprised some of its supporters because the Legislature has a long history of vocal resistance from social conservatives to changes in liquor laws. Conservative Republicans have a majority in the House, but many of them saw the happy hour bill as promoting free-market, less-regulation principles.

“With a legal product in a free market, it’s up to the establishments to set the price,” said Rep. Steve Brunk, a Bel Aire Republican, chairman of the Federal and State Affairs Committee, which endorsed the measure and is considering other liquor bills this week.

Kansas voters adopted a Prohibition amendment to the state constitution in 1880 and didn’t repeal it until 1948, 15 years after national Prohibition had ended. Resistance to the state’s no-alcohol policy inspired Nation to wield a hatchet against saloons.

Even after its Prohibition ended, Kansas remained known for its conservative liquor laws, limiting the sale of liquor by the drink to private clubs until 1987. Grocery and convenience stores still can sell only lowerstrength, or “weak” beer and no wine or liquor.

Everybody is looking for a deal these days, even if they’re not quite sure what they’re looking at.

More than 50 people showed up Tuesday morning for the Douglas County tax auction, an event hosted by the Douglas County Treasurer’s office to sell property that has at least

Real estate deals abound, but buyers have to be cautious three years worth of delinquent property taxes.

When the treasurer’s office last held a tax sale about two years ago, a grand total of three people showed up.

Jefferson County resident Noble Lathrom said his daughter saw an article about the sale in the Journal-World last week and convinced him

to attend the auction in search of a bargain.

Come to find out, that is a little easier said than done.

“It ends up being a real guessing game,” said Lathrom, who bid several hundred dollars on several properties but fell short each time. “But it was exciting.”

The auction comes

with a twist because buyers have very little information about what they’re buying. There are no open houses or public viewings of the property, except what you can see from a drive-by of the property. And county officials definitely stress that it is a buyer-beware type of event.

One bidder asked a county official whether the county could guarantee a buyer would have access to a landlocked piece of property that was on the auction bill. That drew a laugh from some in the crowd.

about encouraging alcohol abuse.

“It would stop people from overconsumption and get rid of cheap alcohol,” Bradley said. “It just didn’t work.”

The law doesn’t prevent businesses from having the same discounted price for drinks all day, but Bradley said legislators assumed in 1985 that no merchant would do that.

Other bills before Brunk’s committee would allow alcoholic drinks to be served on railroad cars; permit liquor stores to have beer, wine and liquor tastings; allow small distilleries to sell their products and offer samples; and repeal a law that says people can’t have a job serving alcohol if they’ve been convicted on a “morals charge.”

Business owners proved them wrong, running drink specials all day long in what supporters of the bill called “happy days.” The bill still would ban the sale of drinks below their cost to the merchant.

“This is actually more responsible than our current practice,” said Rep. John Rubin, a Shawnee Republican.

said County Counselor Evan Ice. But such uncertainty did little to slow interest. The county took about a dozen bids on the property before the 3.6 acres in southern Douglas County sold for $1,000. Definitely a discount off market rates, although the market usually provides you a road.

The big ticket property of the day was a suburban ranch home at 1212 E. 27th St. It sold for $36,000 after about a half-dozen bidders went back and forth about 30 times. It is valued by the county appraiser’s office at about $140,000.

But even at that price it was clear not everybody had fully researched how the system worked. About midway through the bidding, one bidder asked if the bid price was in addition to how much was owed in taxes on the property. It is not. The county sells the property regardless of whether it receives a bid large enough to cover the outstanding amount of taxes. In case you are wondering, four of the eight properties did sell for enough to cover the taxes.

“Probably the most interesting thing was to watch how much people were willing to bid on a piece of property that they obviously hadn’t done much research on,” said Helena Delk, who bid on several properties but came up empty-handed.

“I totally will come back again.”

As for the lowest-priced property of the day, it sold for $150. It was a narrow strip of ground about a half-acre in total between a creek and Heatherwood Drive in southwest Lawrence. It appears to be too narrow to build on, evidenced by the fact that one of the larger developers in town, Mastercraft Corp., allowed the property to go on the auction block.

But that didn’t stop two people from bidding on it.

The winner, who declined to give his name to the Journal-World, said he didn’t know what he was going to do with it. He just knew two things.

“It was the right price and the right side of town,” he said.

Baker names new chief academic officer Baker University has hired a new chief academic officer for its four schools.

Brian Posler, associate provost for academic affairs at the University of Southern Indiana in Evansville, will become Baker’s new executive vice president for academic affairs and dean of the College of Arts and Sciences on July 1.

Posler, originally from Manhattan, visited the Baldwin City campus in February and was chosen over three other finalists.

The position is a new one that combines the chief academic officer function and the arts and sciences dean.

BRIEFLY Winds cause light pole to fall on car

Play ball! KU opens season at Hoglund

High winds downtown caused a light pole to fall onto and damage a vehicle Tuesday in the 600 block of Massachusetts Street.

City staff members were helping set up a rental car for the owner of the vehicle, city spokeswoman Megan Gilliland said. The city owns and maintains the poles in that block.

The city was also working on getting an estimate on the extent of repairs needed for the vehicle. No one was inside the vehicle when the pole fell, Gilliland said.

The National Weather Service put most of the state under a red-flag warning until 7 p.m. Tuesday because of expected frequent wind gusts of 40 mph to 50 mph.

KU wants funding from KBA for faculty

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

OLATHE — Kansas University leaders are looking for financial support for its initiatives in bioengineering, which could lead to new chemotherapy drug delivery mechanisms that would fight cancer, among other new research opportunities.

In the future, KU told the Kansas Bioscience Authority’s Board of Directors, KU would like to request funding from the authority for six new faculty members working in the area.

The presentation didn’t include an immediate

request for the faculty members or a specific dollar amount, but university officials indicated they would likely be back to request the money.

David Vranicar, interim president and CEO of the KBA, told KU officials that it would Vranicar be helpful for the KBA if KU would prioritize its requests.

Lawrence city commissioners on Tuesday approved an unbudgeted $100,000 worth of funding to the Lawrence Community Shelter after hearing the homeless shelter was in a “crisis” situation.

Joe Baker, treasurer of the shelter’s board, told commissioners that without the $100,000 in city funding, the shelter likely would be broke for an extended period of time in April before receiving its next round of grant funding.

CITY “Honestly, I’m not sure COMMISSION how the shelter has survived with the revenue stream it has had,” said Baker.

City commissioners approved the $100,000 in funding on a 4-1 vote but did not make any commitment to provide funding for future years.

Commissioners agreed to take the money out of a $300,000 reserve account that is funded by proceeds from the city’s share of the liquor drink tax.

Mayor Aron Cromwell also told the shelter board that he would be more interested in providing future city funding Please see CITY, page 4A

Lawrence’s rental licensing City ordinance at center of dispute

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — The city of Lawrence and a neighborhood advocate on Tuesday urged legislators to help the city enforce its ordinance that aims to restrict the number of college students who can live in a rental house.

“Quiet family homes have become weekend party palaces,” Arly Allen, with the Centennial Neighborhood Association, told the Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee.

Allen said absentee landlords are packing Kansas University students into homes at $500 per room in violation of the city ordinance that caps at three the number of unrelated people who can live in a single-family dwelling.

The inability to enforce the city ordinance has chased away families, reduced the number of children in Allen’s neighborhood and led to elementary school closures, he said.

“Our neighborhoods deteriorate, and the schools are suffering and all the families are suffering,” he said. “Our neighborhoods are being converted into businesses,” he said, adding that the house next door to him recently had five students living there.

Mental health advocates seek funding after years of cuts

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Advocates for people with mental illness on Tuesday described the state’s mental health system as crumbling and urged legislators to restore funding that has been cut over the past few years.

“Our state’s mental health system is not strong enough to meet the demands placed on it,” said Glen Yancey, who is president of the Kansas Mental Health Coalition.

“Either we begin to reinvest in it now or we will see the costs of untreated mental illness continue to grow,” Yancey said.

“Those costs manifest themselves in more emergency room visits, more incarcerations, more trips to state hospitals and, sadly, more suicides. We starve the mental health

normal cells for every cancer cell it kills, leading to significant side effects.

KU officials said they would like to request funds for four new professors on the Lawrence campus and two new professors at KU Medical Center, in addition to funds for construction or renovation of existing spaces to help with the initiative.

“We are always looking to skate to where the puck is going to be,” said Roy Jensen, director of the KU Cancer Center. “I think that with this proposal, focused on nanoparticles, we’re making an attempt to do just that.”

system in Kansas at the risk of more broken lives.”

Mental health reform grants have been cut by $20 million, or 65 percent, since 2008. Nearly $10 million was cut in 2010 because of Medicaid rate reductions, and the system has sustained cuts in other areas as well.

In addition, Yancey said the coalition is extremely concerned over Gov. Sam Brownback’s push to privatize Medicaid by January, and said that he feared cost-cutting would override access to effective treatment options “The devil is in the details,” Yancey said of the proposal. “Careful implementation and meaningful legislative oversight of Medicaid reform is critical.”

As Yancey said that, Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer, who is Brownback’s point man on Medicaid reform, was

standing to the side and nodded his head in agreement.

Colyer then spoke next to the crowd of several hundred gathered at the Topeka Performing Arts Center.

He said the goal of transferring Medicaid to managed care companies was to reduce costs and improve health care for the more than 350,000 Kansans who receive services through the state and federally funded program.

“We want to start reforming the system so that we get results,” said Colyer. He said the proposal was “not an old days managed care.” He added, “They (the managed care companies) don’t make any money unless you get services, unless there is patient satisfaction.”

RETENTION DEAL

Tuesday’s markets

The Kansas Bioscience Authority on Tuesday approved a measure designed to retain a Kansas University engineering professor working in the biomedical engineering field who had been recruited by other institutions.

The KBA’s board approved more than $612,000 that would be contributed to a retention package for Michael Detamore, an associate professor of chemical and petroleum engineering at KU. Detamore has been at KU since 2004, and he is the recipient of the National Science Foundation’s CAREER award and a Coulter Foundation Translational Research Award. He served as a Fulbright Scholar and visiting professor in Ireland in 2011.

The funds would be distributed over eight years and matched with additional funding from KU, and would be contributed toward Detamore’s salary and research efforts.

if it were structured in the form of a challenge grant where the public would have to make a certain amount of pledges before the city provided funding.

The shelter successfully raised $1.3 million to buy and renovate a building near the Douglas County Jail in eastern Lawrence to replace its current downtown shelter, which leaders have said is too small.

Expenses related to finding that site have depleted the organization’s reserves, but shelter leaders said they plan to be aggressive in future fundraising to help with operational expenses.

City Commissioner Mike Amyx voted against the funding request, saying now was not the right time for the city to be making unbudgeted expenditures.

In other news, commissioners met for one hour in executive session to discuss the possible acquisition of real estate. After the session, commissioners directed city staff to craft a public statement to be released about the matter in the near future.

Multiple sources tell the Journal-World the city is working to craft a joint statement with Kansas University men’s basketball coach Bill Self to support the idea of a major youth fieldhouse/recreation center in northwest Lawrence.

It has been speculated the project would be on the northwest corner of Sixth Street and the South Lawrence Trafficway, and would involve the city receiving a donation of 40 to 50 acres of property from a development group led by Steve and Duane Schwada.

LAW ENFORCEMENT REPORT • A Douglas County judge sentenced a 25-year-old Lawrence man to serve two years on probation after he pleaded no contest in January to aggravated battery in connection with an October altercation downtown.

Anthony M. Bassett faces a two-year prison sentence if he’s ever found to violate terms of his probation, said Cheryl Wright, a district attorney’s office spokeswoman. Bassett was accused of punching a 24-year-old Lawrence man in the face about 1:30 a.m.

Oct. 19 in the 900 block of Massachusetts Street. The victim fell to the ground and suffered a broken nose, and prosecutors said Bassett had approached the man and started an argument with him. District Judge Kay Huff also ordered Bassett to pay $8,200 in restitution.

• A 26-year-old Lawrence woman reported a burglary at her residence in which a $10,000 custom wedding ring, a $500 white gold necklace and other items were stolen. The burglary occurred between 8 p.m. and 11:50 p.m. Saturday

Cancer Center review went smoothly

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

OLATHE — Roy Jensen, director of the Kansas University Cancer Center, said on Tuesday he was “cautiously optimistic” after a recent site visit from the National Cancer Institute reviewers.

The KU Cancer Center is pursuing NCI designation, which would mean more research funding for cancer, and would be a boon for the local economy and for patients seeking better cancer treatments closer to home.

Jensen, speaking to FIRE CALL the Board of Directors • Firefighters were called of the Kansas Bioscience shortly after 8 a.m. Tuesday Authority, said he was to Buffalo Wild Wings, 1012 Mass., where they found pleased with the way KU light smoke.

The 21 site visitors, some

of whom will be involved in assessing KU’s application for designation, gave few clues as to what they thought about the potential success or failure of KU’s application, Jensen said.

KU is competing against several cancer centers up for renewal and two new applications — Penn State University and Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York.

On May 3 and 4, KU’s grant will receive a numerical score from 10 to 90, with lower scores being better. The grant will also be assigned an adjectival score, ranging from “good” to “exceptional.”

An average score over the last two or three years

is a 30, Jensen said, and for renewal applications, a score of under 40 is typically funded.

The reviewers told Jensen that no matter how the review turned out, it was clear that the Cancer Center had come a long way in a very short period of time, Jensen said.

In about a month or so, KU will have an opportunity to review the site visitors’ draft report to correct errors, so the Cancer Center’s leadership will likely get a sense then of how the review turned out, though a numerical score won’t be included, he said.

KBA adopts new severance deal

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

Paul Vierthaler, graduate student, New Haven, Conn.

“I think Santorum might win a few states (in Tuesday’s primaries and caucuses) but not enough to pull Romney out of the front-running.”

Shannon Stewart, graduate student, New Haven, Conn.

“I’ve been following closely. I think it’s all interesting.”

OLATHE — The Kansas Bioscience Authority approved on Tuesday a severance package for its acting president and CEO that would pay him one year’s salary if he is removed from his position without cause.

David Vranicar joined the KBA in 2009 as president of the authority’s commercialization arm and was named as acting KBA president and CEO following the resignation of Tom Thornton in April 2011.

He earns a $221,375 base salary each year, in addition to being eligible for a bonus of up to 15 percent of his salary, which equates to just more than $33,000.

However, the board makes the decision to award bonuses at the end of the year and didn’t approve any for the 2011 fiscal year, said Dan Watkins, a Lawrence attorney and KBA board chairman.

Under the severance agreement, Vranicar would be eligible to receive any bonuses he had earned but had not been paid to him.

The board approved the severance package during the last meeting before Gov. Sam Brownback will have the opportunity to appoint two new board members. The terms of former Democratic Gov. John Carlin and Sandra A.J. Lawrence expire on March 15.

Brownback has called the results of a forensic audit into the authority’s finances “deeply troubling,” though KBA leaders say the audit showed the authority’s investment programs were sound.

The KBA board members all voted to approve the severance deal with the exception of Brownback’s Secretary of Commerce, Pat George, who abstained from the vote.

“It’s always an interesting thing to hear about that stuff. It gives you a little bit of a sense of the magnitude of what actually happened in Harveyville.”

Stebbins hopes people become aware of how they store documents with sensitive information, such as Social Security numbers, to prevent them from blowing away in a bad storm.

Her discovery also hit home in another way. One day she plans to call the Harveyville pastor, Dennis Irwin, to tell him about it. She also plans to send the church a small donation.

“It made me feel like I had more of a connection,” Stebbins said, “because I go to the Perry United Methodist Church.”

Another board member, Earl McVicker, has been appointed to his position by the Speaker of the House but has yet to be formally approved by the Kansas Senate, Watkins said.

A memo from the law firm that drafted the severance agreement defines being “removed with cause” as criminal activity, failure to follow clear written directions from the KBA’s board or failure to follow company policy material to his duties.

Vranicar would also receive the severance if he resigns for “good reason,” defined as a reduction of salary or bonus.

Romney wins Ohio, four other Super Tuesday states

By David Espo Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Mitt Romney squeezed out a win in pivotal Ohio, captured four other states with ease and padded his delegate lead in the race for the Republican presidential nomination but was forced to share the Super Tuesday spotlight with a resurgent Rick Santorum.

“I’m going to get this nomination,” Romney told cheering supporters in Massachusetts,” pointing particularly to his growing delegate totals.

On the busiest night of the campaign, he scored a home-state win in Massachusetts to go with primary victories in Vermont and in Virginia — where neither Santorum nor Newt Gingrich was on the ballot. He added the Idaho caucuses to his column.

Ohio was the big win, though, and the closest contest of all as the Republican rivals battled for the chance to face Democratic President Barack Obama in November.

Santorum countered crisply, winning primaries in Oklahoma and Tennessee and the North Dakota caucuses, raising fresh doubts about Romney’s ability to corral the votes of conservatives in some of the most Republican states in the country.

Ohio was the marquee matchup, a second industrial-state showdown in as many weeks between Romney and Santorum. It drew the most campaigning and television advertisements of all 10 Super Tuesday contests and for good reason— no Republican has ever won the White House without carrying the state in the fall.

After trailing for much of the night, Romney forged ahead in a count that

stretched past midnight.

With votes tallied in 99 percent of the state’s precincts, he led by about 12,000 out of more than 1.1 million cast.

Gingrich had a victory in his column, too — his first win in more than six weeks.

The former House speaker triumphed at home in Georgia, but a barrage of attack ads by a super PAC supporting Romney helped hold him below 50 percent and forced him to share the delegates.

Texas Rep. Ron Paul pinned his hopes on Alaska as he scratched for his first victory of the campaign season.

Santorum waited until Oklahoma and Tennessee fell into his column before speaking to cheering supporters in Ohio. “This was a big night tonight,” he said.

“We have won in the West, the Midwest and the South, and we’re ready to win

across this country.”

In all, there were primaries in Virginia, Vermont, Ohio, Massachusetts, Paul Georgia, Tennessee and Oklahoma.

Caucuses in North Dakota, Idaho and Alaska rounded out the calendar.

Romney picked up at least 183 of the 419 Super Tuesday delegates at stake. Santorum gained at least 64, Gingrich 52 and Paul 15. About 100 remained to be allocated, and Romney and Santorum appeared in line for many if not most of them.

That gave the former Massachusetts governor 386, more than all his rivals combined, a total that included endorsements from members of the Republican National Committee who automatically attend the convention. Santorum had 156 delegates, Gingrich 85 and Paul 40. It takes 1,144 delegates to win the nomination at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla., this summer.

to close four elementary schools and Northeast Magnet High School because of reductions in state funding in the past four years.

The Wichita Eagle reports the vote came after several people stood and shouted in unison at board members before being ushered out by police.

Board members and Superintendent John Allison say closing schools is necessary to open and operate five new schools being built as part of a $370 million bond issue.

Opponents said the new schools aren’t better than older, smaller neighborhood schools.

Lawrence victim of K.C., Mo., shooting undergoes 2 surgeries

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

Parents of a former Lawrence High School student who was shot last weekend in Kansas City, Mo., said Tuesday their son had gone through two surgeries in the hospital.

“He’s doing really good.

He’s alert,” said Jeffrey Belaire’s mother, Jacqueline Simms, of Topeka. “He can remember coaches. He remembers Lawrence High a lot, and his friends from Lawrence came to visit.”

According to Kansas City, Mo., police, Belaire, 18, suffered numerous gunshot wounds to his back during a large party Friday night inside a residence in the 3900 block of Warwick Boulevard, two blocks east of Main Street in Kansas City, Mo. Belaire played football last season at Washburn Rural High School in Topeka, graduated at the semester and was attending Butler County Community College, where he planned to play football.

He attended Lawrence schools off and on from 2001 to 2007 and again from 2009 to 2010 when he was at Lawrence High, where he also played football.

Simms said that her son was shot three times and that medical staff hoped he could sit up on Tues-

day so they could perform some therapy and see how he does.

“He’s doing fair. He’s doing OK,” she said. “Just keep praying for him. We thank everyone from Lawrence and Topeka and Butler County.”

Because of safety concerns, family members would not disclose the hospital where Belaire is being treated.

According to a police report, two witnesses who were DJs at the party, attended by 150 to 200 people, told police they saw two men with handguns before the shooting, and one of the DJs said he saw both men firing into the crowd.

Sgt. Stacey Graves, a Kansas City police spokeswoman, said Tuesday afternoon that a 23-yearold woman was also shot at the party. Her injuries were not life-threatening, Graves said, and police

continued to investigate the incident.

Family members said they were still waiting to learn more information from police about the investigation. Simms said that a witness told her she saw a fight before shots were fired and that Belaire might have been caught in the middle of it.

“There were some people arguing. It wasn’t Jeffrey,” Simms said.

Belaire’s father, Jeff Belaire Sr., of Lawrence, said that his son got into trouble as a juvenile but that family members were proud of the recent progress he made, including making it to college.

“After being in trouble, he was showing people that you can make mistakes, but you can overcome them,” he said.

Athletic example Thomas Robinson’s performance as a basketball player and a person has set an example for future players at Kansas University and across the nation.

U

nfortunately, there are too many news stories about high-profile university athletes getting into serious trouble. That may include failure to meet academic requirements, cheating, drug use, fights, property damage, sexual assaults and other unlawful behavior.

Such stories occur on about every campus in the country.

This year, Kansas University fans have had the opportunity to witness an outstanding athlete who has conducted himself in an exemplary manner during an extremely demanding and stressful period of his life.

The story of KU junior Thomas Robinson is well known to those who follow KU sports and to basketball aficionados throughout the country. He came to Lawrence from modest means in Washington, D.C., and became one of the nation’s truly outstanding college basketball players. In the middle of last season, Robinson suffered a tremendous emotional blow when his mother and two grandparents died within a 29-day period, leaving him as the “man of the house” with a 7-year-old sister living in Washington.

For a number of reasons, this year’s KU team did not have its usual stable of seasoned, outstanding players, and Robinson, in his first year as a starter, and senior Tyshawn Taylor, were called upon to become the team’s leaders.

Since the first tip-off, the local and national spotlight has been on Robinson, a pre-season All-American and contender to become national player of the year.

Every opposing team focused its attention and strategy on how to stop the 6-10 junior. The record shows the opponents have been unable to shut down the terrific scorer, rebounder and team player.

He has taken care of his academic responsibilities and done everything he’s been asked to do. According to one KU faculty member, “Considering where he came from, his performance at the university has been pretty remarkable. He is in a position to get his degree from the university during or following his professional career.”

Basketball is a team sport in every respect, but a collection of good athletes sometimes can be a problem because it also is a collection of big egos. Robinson has been a team player and has not been a problem on or off the court. He has represented the university in a fine manner and offers an excellent example of how an athletically talented and properly motivated student can take advantage of a university athletic scholarship.

Robinson — and many other past KU players — has set a high standard for others to emulate both in the classroom and on the playing field.

KU fans have had a unique opportunity to watch and enjoy the development of Robinson since he first arrived in Lawrence. The university has been good for Robinson and he has been good for the university, the state and college basketball.

Russians wonder: Will Putin change?

MOSCOW — I was trying to interview Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov in the Cafe Manya, one of the trendy hangouts where middle-class Russians grab a drink or a $12 cappuccino. But he was besieged by young men and women eager to have their photos taken with him.

All the while, in the tense run-up to Sunday’s presidential election, Nemtsov’s two cellphones never stopped ringing.

He is one of the handful of former liberal politicians, Communists, nationalists, new faces, anticorruption fighters, and journalists who have organized an unprecedented outpouring of opposition to Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

The outburst was spurred a few months ago when Putin, a former two-term president now serving as prime minister, casually announced he would switch offices with the current president, Dmitry Medvedev.

Small demonstrations expanded exponentially, organized on Facebook and elsewhere on the Internet, after the Kremlin blatantly rigged parliamentary elections.

Watching the excitement in the cafe, I could only wonder what would happen after the March 4 election. The question was not whether Putin would win. He did.

Rather, the burst of debate here — in cafes, on the Internet, on TV talk shows that have suddenly opened up to opposition voices, and in the handful of independent newspapers still permitted to

Trudy Rubin

But Nemtsov recognizes that middle-class youth may be more reluctant to come out into the streets if the Kremlin increases the pressure on them.” publish — revolved around three questions: O Will Putin crack down on the new opposition after the vote?

O Will the Internet generation, new to protest, fold under pressure?

O And is it possible that Putin, awakened by the new reality, will recognize that he needs to make real political and economic reforms?

“If Putin thinks he can continue without changing anything, he is deceiving himself,” I was told by Konstantin Remchukov, editor-in-chief of the Nezavisimaya Gazeta newspaper, and long an astute analyst of Russian internal affairs.

Remchukov believes Putin ignores the changing values of urban Russian youth, who want more say in how they are ruled.

“It is easier to reform Russia from the top,” Remchukov says, pointing to the scattered nature of the opposition. “Putin has several months to one year to indicate he is capable of change.”

He adds, “If he ignores this time frame, in one year, we’ll be very close to Tahrir Square crowds,” a reference to the Egyptian youth revolt.

Yet it is hard to see any signs that Putin grasps the significance of the youth rebellion. Journalists who have talked to the leader say he believes he did everything to improve the lives of these young people and now they are ungrateful. Failing to understand the reason, he turns to a familiar explanation: They are manipulated — and funded — by the West.

“There is no way Putin can change,” I was told by Yevgenia Albats, the crusading chief editor of the independent New Times magazine. “We have a history of more than 12 years. He has become more of a KGB man than ever.”

Liberal leader Vladimir Ryzhkov believes Putin will definitely revert to repression. “We don’t know if it will be soft or hard,” he told me in his spartan basement office. “I do know one thing: Russian civil society has woken up.” Contrary to Putin’s claims, Ryzhkov says the opposition is funded by small Russian grassroots donations that totaled $200,000 in the last couple of months.

In the Cafe Manya, Nemtsov

says he doubts the repression will be dramatically harsh or resemble the tactics used by Belarus leader Alexander Lukashenko, who permitted protests before elections and then totally shut off all dissent. Putin, he says, does not want to become persona non grata in Europe, like Lukashenko.

Nemtsov believes Putin’s approach will be more subtle, permitting pseudo-reforms like registration of new political parties, while propagating new rules that make it impossible for substantial opposition coalitions to emerge.

Efforts will also be made to rein in the Internet — new regulations are under consideration that would let the security services shut down irreverent websites that host new media. However, given the Internet explosion in Russia, with 51 million users, the Kremlin runs the risk of being too heavy-handed.

But Nemtsov recognizes that middle-class youth may be more reluctant to come out into the streets if the Kremlin increases the pressure on them. And if the size of demonstrations dwindles, the Kremlin will feel more free to increase the level of repression.

“One spring is not enough,” Nemtsov says. “We need several springs.”

As he heads out the door, another group of youths waylays him. I do wonder how long their fervor will last.

PUBLIC FORUM

Financial expression

Liberal arts still relevant Many of us who live in Lawrence in the shadows of Kansas University and Haskell Indian Nations University often forget that there is another institution of higher learning only 10 miles away in Baldwin City: Baker University. Over the almost two decades in which I have lived in Kansas I have had a variety of interactions with Baker students, faculty and administrators and have almost always come away thinking that Baker is a very fine place indeed.

The spark for writing this column comes from a press release I read that Baker has just received a major, sevenfigure gift from a loyal alumnus, the second such gift it has recently received. The gift will be used to renovate the major instructional buildings on the Baldwin City campus. It deserves congratulations on this achievement.

My most frequent encounters with Baker people are in class. Every year a number of Baker graduates decide to come to KU to go to law school, and I have the good fortune to have some of them as students in one of the classes I teach. And it is good fortune, for I have found that Baker students are virtually always hardworking and well prepared. I have been especially impressed over the years by Baker graduates’ writing skills. Unlike graduates of many colleges and universities, Baker folks generally can write well. To my mind, that is a great advantage for

Mike Hoeflich any would-be lawyer.

These days, the “liberal arts” and especially the humanities are under attack. Critics of liberal arts education argue that it is too unfocused and does not prepare students for the rigors of a tough economy and job market. These folks say that colleges and universities need to teach their students marketable skills like accounting or engineering. It’s more important, these critics say, for students to be able to do advanced calculus or double entry accounting than to know how to read a poem or write a readable paragraph. To my mind, this criticism is wrong-headed.

Baker offers, for me, a prime example of how a liberal arts education is, in fact, a marketable skill. Indeed, a liberal arts education gives students a number of marketable skills.

A true liberal arts education includes not only the study of literature, but also history, mathematics and even the sciences, among many other topics. This was the basis of the whole concept of “distribution requirements” and related notions so prevalent when I went to college in the ’60s.

The basic premise underlying a liberal arts education is

that it teaches students how to think critically, how to read competently and how to write clearly. To think critically, students must understand a variety of approaches, including humanistic, scientific and social scientific methods. To learn to read competently, students must read constantly and widely during their college careers. To write clearly, students must write frequently and have their writing critiqued so that it can improve.

Students who learn these basic skills can be assured they are prepared to go into the business world or continue into more specialized educational programs. What more marketable skill can there be than critical thinking, competent reading, and clear writing? Baker deserves credit that it produces students with these skills.

I do not want to suggest that professional education is a bad thing. It is not. Our country needs more engineers, teachers, social workers and commercial artists. But we also need more people with broad educational backgrounds who can communicate well. We need university graduates who can speak multiple languages and who understand foreign cultures. The liberal arts curriculum produces such people. And small liberal arts colleges like Baker often do this best.

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

To the editor: Freedom of religion is not just freedom of worship. It is also the freedom to express that religion. The most common way we have of expressing ourselves is how we spend our money. We vote up or down on businesses based on our patronage. We vote up or down on politicians with our donations. We vote up or down on the charities we support with our donations.

The HHS mandate is not about contraception; it is about freedom. When an entity, such as the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas, is self-insured, the funds to provide that insurance come from its own coffers and all these funds are fungible. When the archdiocese insures the employees of a Catholic school that is not attached to a church but is freestanding, the funds come from those coffers. If the government should force the archdiocese to provide contraception as part of its health care package, then the monies are not coming from an outside, separately subsidized entity. It is forcing a religious organization to act in direct opposition to its conscience.

On the 1040 form we file for income taxes, there is a box that asks if we would like to contribute to the presidential campaign fund.

What if this box were not an option? What if you want to donate to your politician of choice but, in order to do so, you must also provide equal funds for their opponent?

That’s fair, isn’t it?

Scott Burkhart, Lawrence

HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL

Team first

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Self’s awards welldeserved Sporting News got it right in naming Bill Self its National Coach of the Year.

Before crying “homer,” consider the facts of the team Self has directed to a 26-5 record and a No. 3 national ranking against what statistician Jeff Sagarin ranks the third-strongest schedule in America (behind Michigan and Oklahoma State).

Compare Self’s roster, in terms of game experience within the program and hype coming out of high school, to the rosters of the other three leading contenders for No. 1 seeds in the NCAA Tournament: Kentucky, Syracuse and North Carolina.

Kansas ranks last in both areas.

Kentucky’s John Calipari is a magnificent basketball coach and doesn’t always get enough credit for winning with young talent because his personality rubs so many people the wrong way. I’ve never quite understood why, but then again, I’m biased. I tend to give the benefit of the doubt to guys who are candid and colorful with their quotes, and Calipari is both.

Syracuse’s Jim Boeheim forever has been under-appreciated for his basketball brilliance as well. He dares to do it differently from most elite coaches in that he uses a 2-3 zone, not the preferred man-to-man. He really knows how to put a roster together and never leaves himself short of size, long-range shooters and pure point guards.

The way the Tar Heels are playing lately, Roy Williams has as good a shot as any coach to win what would be his third national title, all with North Carolina, after taking Kansas to four Final Fours in 15 seasons.

A check of the Associated Press preseason poll shows North Carolina was picked No. 1, Kentucky No. 2 and Syracuse No. 5. It requires a masterful coaching job to meet such high expectations, so kudos to the three coaches.

But what separates Self from the others is that the Kansas success is a stunner.

Even a preseason ranking of No. 13 seemed a bit too optimistic given that Tyshawn Taylor was the only returning starter and had played more minutes for Self than the rest of the roster combined. Plus, the ineligibility rulings for the two top freshmen, Ben McLemore and Jamari Traylor, meant Self had to head into the season with former walk-ons Conner Teahan and Justin Wesley as his sixth and seventh men.

Career minutes played in the program heading into the season for the four schools: 1. Syracuse 9,467; 2.

North Carolina 7,814; 3. Kentucky 5,343; 4. Kansas 5,130.

McDonald’s All-Americans on the roster: 1. North Carolina 7; 2. Kentucky 4; 3.

Syracuse 3; 4. Kansas 0.

Plus, Self had to adjust this season because one of his favorite tools — dangling playing time as a carrot to get players to do it his way — wasn’t available.

He had to play his starters, and he still got them to follow orders so well that the Jayhawks are ranked third in the country.

It doesn’t take a homer to recognize a grand-slam coaching job.

Seabury’s success hinges on role players

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

There is no secret about what cogs in the Seabury Academy boys basketball machine make the team lethal.

When opponents prepare for the Seahawks, their attention immediately turns to three players. And with the numbers being put up by Seabury’s big guns — 6-foot7 senior Georgi Funtarov (22 points per game, 10 rebounds a game), 6-4 sophomore Khadre Lane (18 points, six boards) and 6-5 senior Thomas Diaz (13 points, eight rebounds) — there are plenty of reasons for those outside the program to slap three big, big bull’s-eyes squarely on Seabury’s lead trio.

However, the rest of the Seahawks realize how important each member of the team’s

Seniors Garrett Gillett, a point guard, and Jesse May, a forward, round out the Seahawks’ starting lineup, while sophomore guard Marcus Allen, sophomore forward Aaron Lock and junior guard Fischer Almanza come off the bench. Seahawks coach Ashley Battles goes with the sub-

stitutes that present the best match-ups for that particular game.

As for his overlooked starters, Battles said Gillett and May actually play more minutes than Seabury’s big three and he trusts them to complement the go-to guys.

“They’re just ultimate team players,” Battles said of Gillett Please see SEABURY, page 5B

For the second time in four seasons, Kansas University’s Bill Self has been named the Sporting News College Basketball Coach of the Year.

Self, who is in his ninth season at KU, also won the award in 2009, when the Jayhawks went 27-8, won the Big 12 and reached the NCAA Tourney Sweet 16, and in 2000, when he directed Tulsa to a 32-5 record and a spot in the Elite Eight.

“I think this team has been fun to coach. This team has been pretty easy to coach,” said Self. His 2011-12 Jayhawks finished the regular season 26-5 overall and 16-2 in the Big 12.

“We are not as deep as what we have been. Our bench got a little bit better through the course of the season.

We’ve been consistent and lucky in — knock on wood — starting the same guys all season. I do believe this is a team Self operating as close to its ceiling consistently as just about any team we’ve had.”

Self likes the mental makeup of a KU team that opens Big 12 tournament play against either Oklahoma or Texas A&M at 2 p.m., Thursday, in Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo. “It’s a good thing when you believe that every time you step on the court you will find a way to figure it out,” Self said.

Senior guard Tyshawn Taylor said his coach was mighty deserving of the national honor.

“He didn’t give up on us.

He was hard on us. He made us come to work every day,” Taylor told Sporting News.

“Without saying, but in the back of our heads, we were unsure of what we could do,” he added.

Self and Iowa State’s Fred Hoiberg on Sunday were named co-Big 12 Coaches of the Year. On Monday, Missouri’s Frank Haith won the AP Coach of the Year award.

Home runs the difference in home opener “

Sometimes in baseball the less you try, the more outcome you get. I just tried to see the ball deep and put a good swing on it” — Kansas University third baseman Zac Elgie on his grand slam

Elgie

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Ten games into the 2012 season, Kansas University senior third baseman Zac Elgie still was looking for that one offensive highlight that he could talk about for years to come.

During the Jayhawks’ 7-4 victory Tuesday afternoon at Hoglund Ballpark against visiting North Dakota Unviersity, Elgie may have found it.

After watching Kevin Kuntz (walk), Ka’iana Eldredge (walk) and Tucker Tharp (single) reach base before him in the bottom of the first inning, Elgie, KU’s clean-up hitter, rocked a 1-0 pitch 380 feet over the leftcenter field fence for a grand slam that not only gave the Jayhawks an early lift but ultimately proved to be the difference in the ballgame.

“Coming into the game, I didn’t think anybody was going to be able to hit a home run, with the wind howling

Lovellette selected for Hall of Fame KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — Former Kansas standout Clyde Lovellette and Georgetown great Patrick Ewing lead a 10-member class that will be inducted into the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame in November.

The class was announced Tuesday in Kansas City.

The two post Lovellette players will be joined by North Carolina’s Phil Ford, Wyoming’s Kenny Sailors, Grambling’s Willis Reed and Winston-Salem State’s Earl Monroe.

Also inducted will be Joe B. Hall, who followed Adolph Rupp as the coach of Kentucky, and Dave Robbins, who won

more than 700 games at Virginia Union.

Businessmen Jim Host and Joe Dean will go in as contributors.

The induction ceremony is scheduled for Nov. 18 at the Midland Theatre in Kansas City. The following night, Kansas, Saint Louis, Texas A&M and Washington will play in the semifinals of the CBE Classic at the nearby Sprint Center. “All of these individuals have played key role in the growth and foundation of our wonderful and great game,� said Reggie Minton, the deputy executive director of the National Association of Basketball Coaches and the chairman of the Hall of Fame selection panel.

Lovellette in many ways laid the blueprint for how Ewing played his position. The 6-foot-

9 center was a three-time AllAmerican for coach Phog Allen at Kansas, and was the nation’s top scorer in 1952, when he was voted most valuable player of the NCAA Tournament.

Before becoming one of the NBA’s best post players, Ewing was a dominant center for the Hoyas of coach John Thompson, earning consensus All-America honors three straight years.

The 7-foot center helped the Hoyas reach the NCAA championship game as a freshman, where they fell to North Carolina. He cut down the nets as a junior when he led Georgetown past Houston, and was part of one of the NCAA tournament’s greatest upsets when eighthseeded Villanova beat the No. 1 seed Hoyas 66-64 for the championship his senior season.

Ewing later played for two

gold medal-winning Olympic teams, and amassed more than 24,000 points and 11,000 rebounds during a Hall of Fame career for the Knicks.

Ford was the first freshman to start the first game of his career under Hall of Fame coach Dean Smith at North Carolina, and was the national player of the year as a senior. “This is a tremendous honor,� said Ford, who played for the Kings, Nets, Bucks and Rockets in the NBA. “Truly one that caught me off guard.�

Monroe never caught anybody off guard. Playing for Clarence “Big House� Gaines, he averaged 41.5 points per game and led Winston-Salem State to the Division II title in 1967. “The Class of 2012 has incredible roots in college basketball,�

Minton said.

NFL bounty hunters must pay

By Tim Dahlberg The Associated Press

As paydays go, they weren’t bad. A thousand bucks if your guy is carted off the field, $500 extra for a clean knockout.

End someone’s season or career? Priceless.

There was a lot to like about the New Orleans Saints offering up cash for big hits. The scheme made for tougher players and helped them on a stirring playoff run that ended with their hands wrapped around the NFL trophy in 2010.

Yes, it left Kurt Warner sprawled for several minutes on the turf in the playoffs two years ago, surer than ever that it was time to hang up his cleats. Brett Favre escaped with a good old fashioned beating, though one pass short of making the Super Bowl.

But, as Mike Tyson loves to say about his sport, football is a hurt business.

Way too much of a hurt business if you listen to former players who often end up sounding like former fighters.

The courts are full of concussion-related lawsuits against the NFL and its teams, and former players such as Hall of Fame running back Tony Dorsett worry publicly that they may end up with dementia or Alzheimer’s because of hits they’ve taken to the head.

So when the NFL was tipped off to the bounty system employed by the Saints, the league had no choice but to put its talented team of investigators on the trail. They looked at 18,000 documents, interviewed scores of players and coaches, and even brought in forensic experts to make sure what they were seeing was the real thing.

It was, and now it’s time to make the bounty hunters pay.

Not with fines, because this was so egregious that depleting a few wallets is meaningless.

Not with suspensions, either, because missing a few games is almost as meaningless. And taking away draft picks doesn’t target the people who need to be targeted.

The people in charge of the scheme put the very foundation of the league in jeopardy. And if NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is to have any kind of credibility on the issue of injured players in the NFL, they need to go away for a long, long time.

Goodell himself indicated that some tough penalties will come for violating the league rule on bounty payments. When they do, they likely will make the sanctions imposed on Bill Belichick and the Patriots for Spygate look tame by comparison.

Just how far the commissioner intends to go, only he knows.

Start by banning former Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams from the NFL for life. He’s the one who oversaw the scheme.

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS QUARTERBACK Peyton Manning unleashes a pass in this file photo from 2007. The Manning era in Indianapolis is expected to end today, according to a report.

Report: Indianapolis to part with Manning INDIANAPOLIS — The Peyton Manning era in Indianapolis is expected to end today, according to a report. Citing anonymous sources, ESPN reported Tuesday that the Colts plan to hold a news conference to announce the long-expected decision. Manning is expected to attend.

Team owner Jim Irsay and Manning’s agent, Tom Condon, did not immediately respond to messages left by The Associated Press. Team spokesman Avis Roper said he could not confirm the decision or the news conference because Irsay was out of town and unreachable.

Manning turns 36 later this month, and missed the entire 2011 season after a third neck surgery. Before that, he’d never missed a game in his 13 NFL seasons.

He is owed a $28 million roster bonus on Thursday, and with the Colts holding the top draft pick, they apparently have decided it was too risky and pricey to keep the four-time league MVP. Manning led the Colts to the 2006 NFL title, and in 2009 he brought the Colts to the cusp of history with a 14-0 start.

It’s been bad news ever since. The Colts pulled their starters against the New York Jets and lost the final two games that season. Indy then wound up losing to New Orleans in the Super Bowl. During the offseason, Manning had the first of his neck surgeries. Then, after making an early playoff exit in the 2010 season, Manning underwent another neck surgery to repair a damaged nerve that was causing weakness in his throwing arm.

Last July, Irsay signed Manning to a new five-year, $90 million contract extension that everyone expected would keep Manning in Indy for the rest of his career. But when the nerve did not heal as quickly as anticipated, Manning had two vertebrae fused together in September, a surgery that forced him to miss the first game of his career.

NFL

Saints admit bounty blame NEW ORLEANS — Almost a week after the NFL pointed to them for failing to stop a bounty program involving some two dozen Saints players, coach Sean Payton and general manager Mickey Loomis apologized and took the blame for violations that “happened under our watch.� “These are serious violations and we understand the negative impact it has had on our game,� Payton and Loomis added. “Both of us have made it clear within our organization that this will never happen again, and make that same promise to the NFL and most importantly to all of our fans,� Payton and Loomis said in a joint statement Tuesday.

Payton and Loomis also said New Orleans owner Tom Benson “had nothing to do� with the bounty pool.

Chiefs release LB Williams KANSAS CITY, MO. — The Kansas City Chiefs released veteran linebacker Demorrio Williams on Tuesday, saving the franchise about $2 million in salary cap space before the start of free agency.

The 31-year-old Williams joined the Chiefs in 2008 after four seasons with the Atlanta Falcons, and eventually became the starter ahead of Derrick Johnson. But he’s been used primarily on special teams the past few seasons as Johnson emerged as a Pro Bowl middle linebacker.

Williams has started 65 of 124 career games, including 22 starts over the past four years in Kansas City. He made 237 tackles (155) solo with the Chiefs.

Playing time would have been tight for Williams next season.

Lots at stake this week in K.C. KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — There’s been no shortage of controversy leading up to the Big 12 tournament.

Start with voting for coach of the year. No. 5 Missouri’s Frank Haith lost votes to Iowa State’s Fred Hoiberg and Bill Self of Kansas on coaches’ ballots.

The Tigers jilted the league and will be joining the Southeastern Conference next season.

Then there’s the future of Kansas City as the tournament host. The Sprint Center is on the Missouri side of the state line, and there will no longer be a Big 12 member from Missouri. Self even stoked the fire earlier this week by saying that Kansas City is a battleground for Kansas State and Kansas, and that Missouri is something of an afterthought.

So yes, there are plenty of compelling storylines when the tournament kicks off with a doubleheader Wednesday night.

And that’s without even talking about the games.

The top-seeded Jayhawks, who won their eighth straight regularseason crown, await the winner of Wednesday night’s opener between No. 8 seed Oklahoma and

KU men CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

the league by two games after all they lost (off last year’s Elite Eight team) .... hands down he’s coach of the year,” Kansas State’s Frank Martin said Monday on 610 radio.

Kentucky’s Anthony Davis was named Sporting News’ player of the year. KU junior forward Thomas Robinson was named first-team AllAmerican by the outlet.

Senior guard Tyshawn Taylor was third-team All-American.

O Wooden list: KU’s Robinson is one of 15 finalists for the John R. Wooden Award, the Los Angeles Athletic Club announced Tuesday. Others: Isaiah Canaan, Murray State; Jae Crowder, Marquette; Anthony Davis, Kentucky; Marcus Denmon, Missouri; Draymond Green, Michigan State; Kevin Jones, West Virginia; Kris Joseph, Syracuse; Michael

ninth-seeded Texas A&M. The winner of the nightcap between seventh-seeded Oklahoma State and No. 10 seed Texas Tech will face second-seeded Missouri during a marathon of four games Thursday.

The other teams who received byes into the quarterfinals are fourth-seeded Baylor and No. 5 seed Kansas State, who open Thursday’s games. No. 3 Iowa State and sixth-seeded Texas play in the nightcap with the Longhorns sitting squarely on the NCAA tournament bubble.

“We’ve got a conference tournament where there’s an automatic bid,” Texas coach Rick Barnes said.

“I also have confidence in our league — if we’re the second-best league in the country, that’s where we are — there’s no reason we shouldn’t have six teams in.”

Nobody else is facing such desperation in Kansas City, though there is still plenty at stake.

The third-ranked Jayhawks could be playing for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament, perhaps even in the Midwest Region, which would mean games in St. Louis the second weekend. Missouri could also win its way to a top seed with a little help in other league tournaments.

Even teams with little

hope of postseason basketball have reason to make a run. Besides that automatic berth for the champion, teams such as Texas A&M and Oklahoma State — both ransacked by injury — and Oklahoma and Texas Tech, which are in rebuilding mode, can take a big step forward.

Oklahoma State center Philip Jurick will miss the tournament after tearing his left Achilles tendon in the Cowboys’ regularseason finale. Star freshman Le’Bryan Nash is also in doubt after missing the last three games with a fractured left, non-shooting hand.

Everyone will get at least one more chance to compete in Kansas City.

Some have better chances than others.

The Jayhawks are considered the favorites behind Big 12 player of the year Thomas Robinson and all-conference guard Tyshawn Taylor.

“We’re going into it with a chance, we believe, to validate what we’ve already done in the regular season,” Self said. “If you’re going to play in it, you might as well win it.”

There’s nothing controversial about that.

Kidd-Gilchrist, Kentucky; Damian Lillard, Weber State; Scott Machado, Iona; Doug McDermott, Creighton; Austin Rivers, Duke; Jared Sullinger, Ohio State; Tyler Zeller, North Carolina.

O District honors: KU’s Robinson on Tuesday was named District VI Player of the Year by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association. He joins teammate Taylor on the All-District Team. District VI consists of the states of Kansas, Iowa, Missouri, Oklahoma, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota.

O CBE field: KU will be joined by Saint Louis, Texas A&M and Washington State as participants in the 2012 CBE Classic, it was announced Tuesday. Pairings for the Nov. 19 semifinal match-ups in KC’s Sprint Center will be announced at a later date.

The finals and consolation game will be Nov. 20. KU will also play two home games against small to mid-major type schools in the Classic.

In 2013-14, KU will compete in the Battle 4 Atlantis Tournament in the Bahamas. There’s talk that USC, Villanova, Maryland and Michigan also will be in the eight-team field. KU will have one home game in that tournament, then three in the Bahamas.

KU has not yet chosen a tourney for 2014-15.

In 2015-16, KU will play in the Maui Invitational.

KU also will play Michigan State next preseason in Atlanta as part of the Champions Classic. KU will play Duke in Chicago the following season, also in the Classic.

O Lewis dies at age 68: Former KU player Delvy Lewis died on Monday after a nine-year battle with cancer. He was 68. Topeka native Lewis, who attended Washburn Rural High School, was a three-year starter at point guard at KU from 1964-66. During his senior season (1965-66) he directed KU to the Big Eight regular-season title.

He was a starting guard on the team that lost to Texas Western in the 1966

NCAA Midwest Regional Final in Lubbock, Texas.

“Delvy was a great leader and a great competitor,” said former KU coach Ted Owens, “By sheer force of hard work he made himself an all-league player.

His courage and his faith are what I’ll remember about him. I’m so glad he was able to come to our (1965-66 team) reunion at Allen Fieldhouse in December.”

O Recruiting: Shabazz Muhammad, a 6-6 senior from Bishop Gorman High in Las Vegas, visited Duke last weekend.

“Coach K (Mike Krzyzewski) has invested three years recruiting me, and I feel extremely comfortable with him,” Muhammad told Rivals.com.

Muhammad will visit UCLA then make his college choice. He’s also considering KU, Kentucky and UNLV. “I have one more visit and after that my family and I can figure this out and come to a decision within the next month,” he told Rivals.com.

and May. “They sacrifice their statistics, their numbers for the good of the team.”

Gillett said he and the other players who don’t receive much hype certainly don’t mind supporting the team’s leaders.

“We all know our roles on the team,” Gillett said.

“Khadre, Georgi and Thomas, they’re more the scorers. Myself and Jesse, our job is more to distribute, rebound and just do the other stuff.”

The eye-popping box scores produced by Seabury’s top scorers prove how much they mean to the team, May added, and the role players are fine with that.

“It doesn’t really matter who is gonna get recognition,” the senior post said.

Whether it’s pub or fan fare, when Funtarov, Lane and Diaz get showered with love, Battles said the rest of the Seahawks don’t mind giving them a hard time.

“

It doesn’t really matter who is gonna get recognition.”

— Seabury Academy senior Jesse May “It’s a big joke for them.

And I lead the charge with it,” Battles said. “I think it’s pretty funny.”

After Seabury beat Waverly in a sub-state championship game Saturday at St. Paul, an impromptu autograph session broke out as the small town’s fans mobbed their new favorite players from Lawrence.

While the Seahawks certainly appreciated that kind of reaction, Funtarov said he is just thankful to play with guys that don’t mind doing the dirty work in pursuit of a state championship.

“I think that’s what makes our team really unique,” the Bulgarian native said. “We have guys like that who understand their role and accept their role and embrace it.”

The complimentary players, Lane added, are a huge asset for the team.

Wright-Conklin wins at area all-star match J-W Staff Reports

KANSAS CITY, KAN. — Lawrence High senior wrestler Reece WrightConklin won his match in the Metro Classic on Tuesday, and a team of Kansas all-stars edged Missouri, 26-25.

Wright-Conklin defeated Park Hill South’s Nick Gillespie, 13-3, in the 182-pound class.

Baseball CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

“I just tried to see the ball deep and put a good swing on it. Suiter and I both did that today; mine just happened to have a couple more guys on base.”

While Suiter’s shot to left was the first home run of his college career, there’s a good chance that Elgie’s meant more. For starters, the Minot, N.D. native’s long ball came against a university from his home state. In addition, Elgie’s second homer of the season came in the home opener of his senior season.

“It was great,” Elgie said. “I got a new helmet today, some new batting gloves. It all fit real well.”

Depending on their status and position in the program, teammates’ reactions to Elgie’s grand slam differed.

Senior first baseman Jake Marasco shrugged it off with a smile. When asked what he said to Elgie when he returned to the dugout, Marasco joked, “I told him to do it again.

Hopefully we have more of those this year, so we don’t want to get too high on him. But, yeah, we’ll tell him ‘Do it again.’”

As for Robert Kahana, Tuesday’s starting pitcher, his reaction was a little more appreciative.

“I was like, ‘Thank you,’” Kahana recalled. “I didn’t know what else to say. I was speechless. That was a bomb.”

With Elgie, Suiter and Marasco (4-for-5, one run) providing most of the punch for the KU offense, the pitching was controlled by a couple of players on very different ends of their careers.

Kahana, a freshman from Ewa Beach, Hawaii, picked up the first victory of his career by allowing zero runs and zero hits in four innings. KU coach Ritch Price said Kahana was only scheduled to pitch three innings but made it through four because of his efficiency.

dered four runs in the fifth inning, fifth-year senior Jordan Jakubov went the next three innings, allowing just two hits and striking out six. From there, junior closer Tanner Poppe slammed the door with a 1-2-3 ninth inning and the Jayhawks improved to 6-5.

As far as home openers go, this one was almost flawless. With temperatures around 70 degrees, Price said it was the nicest weather day he’d had for an opener since he arrived at Kansas. Marasco and Elgie both said they sensed a little extra excitement from finally playing a home game.

“The only thing I was disappointed with today is we had a chance to bury them (and didn’t do it),” Price said.

Added Marasco: “We didn’t finish the game like we should have.”

KU and UND will play the final game of the series at 3 today at Hoglund Ballpark.

“We know we can’t win without Jesse and Garrett,” said Lane, who totaled 55 points in two substate wins. “Me and Georgi and Thomas are kind of like the lead singers in the band. But the band doesn’t play unless it has all the instruments going.”

Because Seabury has three long, athletic scorers whom he can kick the ball ahead to, Gillett said he doesn’t mind being a lead guard playing in the background.

“I love it. It’s easy because all three of them can score so easy,” Gillett said. “There’s times I don’t even have to get past half-court.”

May’s appreciation for his role was evident when a broken nose and concussion forced him to miss Seabury’s first sub-state victory. A day after sitting out a 70-45 rout of St. Paul, May had to be cleared by his doctor Friday afternoon in order to play in the championship game against Waverly the following night.

Upon getting medical clearance, the 6-5 senior busted through the doors

of Seabury’s gymnasium to get back on the court.

“I just sprinted over here, got my stuff on and got right back to practice,” May related. “It was amazing. If they said I couldn’t play, I don’t know what I would’ve done. It would’ve been terrible.”

The Seahawks’ three bench players, Allen, Almanza and Lock, have chipped in, too. All three help Seabury bide time when its stars are on the bench, and between Funtarov, Diaz and May being unavailable at different points this season, Lock ended up starting a handful of games.

Said Battles of the 6-8 sophomore: “All he did was come in and do everything we asked him to do — basically helped us hold down the fort.”

Ultimately, Gillett said, the role players are no different from the guys getting headlines. They all want to win a state championship. And they don’t care who scores to make that a reality.

“We just do what we need to do to win,” Gillett said. “That’s our whole goal.”

Bryant, who had tied the game at the buzzer to force the extra session, missed from three-point range in the final seconds of overtime. Metta World Peace came up with the ball and dribbled back toward the top of the key, but his last-ditch turnaround missed as well.

Andrew Bynum had 30 points and 14 rebounds for the Lakers.

Bryant finished with 22 points on 8-of-26 shooting. He started the game with black mask protecting his injured nose but switched to a clear one while struggling through the first half.

COMMENTARY

that again. Regular-season games? They don’t matter.

Exhibition games? They matter. And he better not complain about it, either, or “whiner” will join “coward” and “choker.” It probably ought to be noted that, once upon a time, a very loud group of doubters once said ball-hog Michael Jordan would never win playing his way, either.

The starting place on some of this makes sense.

James vanished in last year’s Finals in a way that doesn’t have precedent for a player of his caliber in this sport. It doesn’t have a good explanation, either. In the absence of an explanation, humans create religions and scientists test theories; in sports, a combination of religion and science, the fanatics assign character-smearing intangibles. That part of his burning bed James did make.

Those Finals created echoing questions that don’t trail Wade, and won’t ever, because we’ve seen Wade do it when it mattered once. Once you’ve done it once in sport, you are golden forever.

Hochevar unveils pitch ————

Royals top Padres, fall to Indians The Associated Press

Royals (ss) 7, Padres 4 SURPRISE, ARIZ. — Luke Hochevar has come to grips with a new changeup that could be a big pitch for him this season.

Hochevar, the first player picked in the 2006 draft, unveiled his different changeup in two scoreless innings Tuesday as a Kansas City split squad beat the San Diego Hochevar Padres, 7-4. Max Ramirez homered twice and drove in four runs for the Royals.

After throwing eight strikes in 10 pitches in a spotless first inning, Hochevar gave up a single and walked one in a 19-pitch second inning.

“My mindset is use all my pitches and in a twoinning span I’m trying to find ways to use everything,” Hochevar said.

“In the second, I tried to find ways to work on my changeup especially. That’s a focus point of mine this spring and granted results are going to come after. I was creating situations to use it.”

Hochevar has been working with new pitching coach Dave Eiland to create an improved changeup.

“It’s come a long way,” Hochevar said. “I’ve been playing with a lot of different grips. I’ve been talking with Dave and I think I’ve found one I’m comfortable with, that I don’t have to think about, I can just cut it loose and let it work on its own. That’s when your changeup is the best. It’s such a feel pitch. I found a grip I can let it rip.”

Manager Ned Yost said he “very impressed with Hoch’s first outing.”

Tim Stauffer, the Padres’ opening day starter last season, allowed one run and two hits in two innings.

Stauffer gave up singles to Jarrod Dyson and Johnny Giavotella to start the first inning and Jeff Francoeur had a sacrifice fly. Dyson’s hit was a bunt that Stauffer fielded, but his throw was slightly off target.

“That was not my best throw,” Stauffer said. “I had a tough angle.”

Padres manager Buddy Black was encouraged by Stauffer’s performance.

“Stauffer threw the ball well,” Black said. “I liked what I saw. He was efficient, his stuff was fine and I liked that he threw some quality changeups.”

James Darnell had two hits and a sacrifice fly for the Padres. Everth Cabrera and Kyle Blanks each had two hits.

“Our young guys had some good swings, making hard contact,” Black said. “Young guys want to make an impression.

You’re seeing some bat speed. They are playing loose and they’re letting it rip. They’re hacking, not many pitches going by. A lot of that is anxiousness. A lot of that

will wear off as we move forward.”

Both of Ramirez’s home runs were to the opposite field. He hit a solo homer in the fourth off Robbie Erlin and a three-run shot in the sixth off Juan Pablo Oramas.

Ramirez is a nonroster invite to spring training.

Indians 3, Royals (ss) 2 GOODYEAR, ARIZ. — Shelley Duncan is picking up where he left off last year for the Cleveland Indians.

Duncan hit his second three-run homer in three games to lead the Indians to a 3-2 win over a Kansas City Royals split squad on Tuesday.

“He’s a bat that at any moment can pop one out,” Indians manager Manny Acta said of Duncan, who had seven homers and 23 RBIs in 26 games in September.

Duncan homered in the third inning off reliever Zach Miner, who is working his way back from Tommy John surgery in 2010.

Starter Will Smith and Noel Arguelles each worked two scoreless innings for the Royals. Irving Falu, who has 17 homers in eight years in the minors, hit a two-run shot for Kansas City.

Duncan has had plenty of power in the minors yet is still seeking a steady job in Cleveland.

He has hit 203 homers in 12 years as a pro — only 22 in parts of five seasons at the big-league level with the New York Yankees and Indians.

With Grady Sizemore sidelined at least two months following back surgery, there’s an opening in the Indians outfield.

Acta isn’t even looking for somebody to match Sizemore’s Gold Glovecaliber defense, but is eager to get some righthanded production for a predominantly left-handed lineup that struggled to score last season.

“Every guy in the big leagues can play left field,” Acta said. “How well (can Duncan), we’ll see. Defense is very important to us because we have a staff of contact pitchers. But at times, you have to give up defense for some offense because scoring has been an issue here.”

Kevin Slowey worked two scoreless innings in his Indians debut.

A sweet potato rendition of shepherd’s pie

By J.M. Hirsch AP Food Editor

Some folks are as adamant about their shepherd’s pie as others are their chili.

Which is to say, just as some people are quite certain that nothing with even a trace of a bean should ever dare call itself chili, there are others who maintain that shepherd’s pie must be nothing but ground lamb and mashed potatoes.

I’m afraid my life, as well as my need to get a good dinner on the table fast, just doesn’t allow for such absolutes.

In my family, we’ve always taken a loose interpretation of shepherd’s pie (and chili, for that matter). We’ll gladly make it with whatever ground meat we have handy, including a blend. It always has a layer of corn (because that’s what my great grandmother did), and finally a thick bed of mashed potatoes.

And so it was with that sense of creative culinary liberty that I created this sausage-based shepherd’s pie topped with mashed sweet potatoes (made all the more sweet thanks to a bit of brown sugar). The result is savory and sweet in just the right balance.

brown sugar Salt, to taste Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Lightly oil a standard loaf pan.

Place the sweet potatoes in a large pot and add enough water to cover by 1 inch.

Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet over high, combine the olive oil, garlic and onion. Saute for 5 minutes, Sweet Potato and Sausage or until just tender.

10 things to know about pasta

By Kathleen Purvis McClatchy Newspapers

An editor who sits nearby likes to show me his lunch every day. He presents it for my approval like I’m the Mother Confessor of cooking.

His regular debate: Pasta. How do you pick the right shape? How do you decide what kind of sauce? Should you rinse it after you cook it?

Actually, I look forward to his daily quizzes. Like my lunch friend, I like thinking about the mysteries of small things.

So, here are the 10 things I know about pasta: 1. Pasta comes in all shapes and sizes because no single shape is perfect for everything. Thin, smooth noodles need light, smooth sauces. Heavier noodles hold heavier sauces. Flat ribbons are for cheese and cream sauces.

Tubes, shells and curls are for chunky sauces with bits

of meat and vegetables.

2. Always start with a big, deep pot and lots of water. We all need room to reach our full potential.

3. Temperature counts: Make sure the water is really boiling. The most efficient way to bring water to a boil is to cover it while it heats. But don’t cover the pot while the pasta cooks or it will boil over.

4. Always salt the water just before you add the pasta. Salt added to the cooking water will flavor the pasta better than adding it later. If you season it after you cook it, you’ll use more salt because it won’t get absorbed into the pasta as it swells.

5. Keep things stirred up at the beginning. We all get stuck without a little agitation.

6. Don’t add oil. If you do it right — lots of water at a full boil and stir it at the beginning — your pasta won’t stick together.

Besides, the oil will keep

the sauce from clinging.

7. When you drain pasta, save some cooking water.

A splash or two of starchy cooking water is magic for pulling a sauce together.

(Try this: Put a heatproof serving bowl in the sink and drain some of the pasta water into it as you drain the pot. Use a splash or two of the pasta water as needed, then empty the bowl and add the pasta and sauce to the warm bowl.)

8. Never rinse pasta. The starch clinging to it helps it hold on to the sauce.

9. Strike while it’s hot.

If you add hot pasta to hot sauce, it will absorb more sauce and flavor.

10. Give things a chance to come together: Cook the pasta until it’s almost, not quite, done, then drain it and add it to the sauce. Add a splash of cooking water.

Stir it all together and cook for a couple of minutes longer. Add anything you need to finish it, like cheese or fresh herbs, and serve.

Purim: A good story and a great feast

By Jim Romanoff For The Associated Press

Purim has been summed up in this way: They tried to kill us, we won, so let’s eat!

Of course, the actual story is a bit more complex than that, but the simple fact is that for Jews who love to cook and eat, this holiday is a favorite.

In a little bigger nutshell, the tale behind Purim — which is celebrated Thursday — involves a Persian king, his prime minister, Haman (the bad guy) who had it out for the Jews, and a community leader named Mordecai.

Basically, Mordecai and his stepdaughter Esther, who became the queen (of the good guys), save their people.

The fun that goes along with the celebration of Purim can’t be overstated. Events and traditions include the reading of the Purim story along with audience participatory noisemaking to drown out the name of the bad guy each of the 54 times it is mentioned.

Then there’s the food. The Book of Esther tells celebrants they should practice charity and goodwill (which in the story helped save the Jews from peril), by helping those who are less fortunate, and by the making and giving of food gifts called mishloach manot. Then, of course, there needs to be a feast to celebrate the victory.

There’s even a proscription for adults to drink wine until they can’t tell the difference between the names of the bad guys and good guy. So much for dull holidays.

Jewish food expert Joan Nathan, most recently author of “Quiches, Kugels and Couscous: My Search for Jewish Cooking in France,” says that the giving of food gifts makes Purim one of most enjoyable and satisfying holiday’s for families to celebrate with their children.

Nathan says that gift baskets often include fruit and plenty of baked goods, which traditionally were made to use up a household’s flour before the beginning of Passover (when baked goods are restricted). Many families, she says, have baking flurries that are akin to the way others whip up cookies ahead of Christmas.

Cookies such as our orangepoppy seed hamantashen are fun and easy to make at home.

For the big meal, known as the Feast of Esther, many foods are included, but often vegetarian dishes made with nuts, grains, seeds and legumes are eaten to pay tribute to the fact that Queen Esther avoided eating meat; the animals were not slaughtered according to kosher tradition at the palace.

These vegetarian Turkish red lentil balls are a delicious, healthy and easy way to include a taste of Persian cuisine in your own Purim feast.

Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour. Remove dough from refrigerator and roll out to 1/4-inch thickness. Using a cookie cutter or clean drinking glass, cut the dough into 2 1/2-inch circles. With the tip of your finger, moisten the rim of each circle with water.

Place 1 teaspoon of poppy seed filling at the center of each circle.

Form triangular cookies by folding the sides up over the filling, leaving the center uncovered. Pinch together the three corners. Place

the cookies on the prepared baking sheets. Brush the outsides of the cookies with the beaten egg.

Bake until the edges are lightly golden, about 15 minutes. Cool on a rack.

Turkish Red Lentil Balls If you can’t find harissa (a North African chili paste), substitute any of the chili-garlic pastes you find in the grocer’s international aisle.

Start to finish: 1 hour Makes about 32 lentil balls 1 cup uncooked red lentils, rinsed and drained 1/2 cup fine bulgur, uncooked 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped 1 tablespoon harissa (red chili) paste 1 tablespoon ground cumin 3 scallions, finely sliced 3 tablespoons finely chopped

flat-leaf parsley 3/4 teaspoon salt Ground black pepper, to taste Boston or butter lettuce, torn into 30 2-by-2-inch pieces Lemon wedges In a medium saucepan, bring 2 1/2 cups of water to a boil. Add the lentils and simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 15 minutes. Mix in the bulgur, cover the pot and remove from the heat. Let the mixture rest until the residual liquid is absorbed by the bulgur, about 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a medium skillet over medium, heat the oil. Add the onions and saute until soft and translucent, about 8 minutes. Stir in the harissa and cumin, then cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes more. Transfer to a mixing bowl and set aside.

Once the lentils and bulgur are cooked (the mixture should be moderately moist like dough), add to the reserved onion mixture along with most of the scallions and parsley (reserving just enough for garnish). Season with salt and pepper, then mix well. The lentil mixture should resemble thick dough.

If it still seems too damp, add more bulgur and let the mixture rest until the bulgur is no longer hard, about another 15 minutes.

Keeping your hands wet, mold about 1 heaping tablespoon of the lentil mixture into football-shaped balls. Place each ball in one of the lettuce pieces and arrange on a serving platter. Garnish with the remaining scallions and parsley and drizzle with additional olive oil. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing.

2 tablespoons hoisin sauce 1 teaspoon sriracha (more if you like it hot, which I do) 1 tablespoon brown sugar 1 teaspoon sesame oil (brings out the best flavor in everything) 1/4 cup soy sauce 1 garlic clove, minced Butter lettuce (often called “living lettuce” in stores) for wrapping Stir this all together and simmer over low heat until it’s no longer watery or runny. I like to use butter lettuce for this, but romaine or even a big piece of iceberg will do the trick.

Yields: 12 lettuce wraps.

WW Points Plus Value: 2 per wrap Along with all my different Asian foods lately, I’ve been serving egg drop soup. Egg drop soup is 1 Weight Watchers Points Plus Value per cup. It’s warm, delicious, and guilt-free, not to mention so easy to make.

1 Point Egg Drop Soup 1 box (4 cups) fat-free chicken broth (reserve 1/4 cup) 2 tablespoons soy sauce 2 tablespoons cornstarch 1 teaspoon powdered ginger 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 2 eggs 1 egg yolk Salt and pepper to taste Green onions (optional) Over medium heat, heat all but 1/4 cup of fat-free chicken broth to a slow boil.

Add in the salt, pepper, ginger, soy sauce and garlic.

To the reserved chicken broth, add the cornstarch and mix together well. Set aside.

In a small bowl, crack two eggs and add one extra yolk, stir together with a fork.

Slowly add the eggs to the boiling water, stirring constantly with a fork. Finally, add in the cornstarch mixture, stir and low boil for a minute or two before serving, to thicken.

Yields: 4 cups. WW Point Plus Values: 1 per cup This is easy. It’s made of inexpensive ingredients I almost always have sitting around my house, and it’s fun to make at home. Plus, 1 point! Heaven in a bowl.

I always chop a few green onions and add to the soup at the end, for color and texture, but that is totally optional. If I don’t have them, I make the soup anyway.

THE FLYING FORK

a blog by Megan Stuke

Of lettuce wraps and egg drop soup

I

’ve talked about lettuce wraps before and how much I love them and how refreshing they are. But recently, I’ve taken them to a whole new level. Actually, I’ve taken my already strong fascination with Asian cuisine to a whole new level.

You see, when you are trying to shed pounds, it is never a bad idea to turn to the flavors of the Orient.

Asian food is high in the flavor department but doesn’t boast the butter, cheese and bread that most Western cuisines worship.

So, when I’m in need of a quick dinner that isn’t going to blow my dieting day out of the water, I often turn to the stock of Asian flavors in the door of my refrigerator. And because rice is not something I want to eat a lot of, I’m often turning to the lettuce wrap.

Instead of piling my stir fry, my veggies, my meat or fish atop a bowl of rice to enjoy, I simply pile my veggies and protein into a large leaf of lettuce, wrap and eat. And I’ll put almost anything in there. With lettuce wraps, “the rules are, there ain’t no rules.” (Name that movie.)

Recently, I had some leftover roast beef that I wanted to finish off, but I didn’t want to eat it again with the potatoes and carrots like we had on Sunday night. I’d had enough starchy vegetables for a while. I decided to make it into a lettuce wrap filling. So easy, so delicious.

I took it for lunch for several days and I can’t promise it actually ever made it to the noon hour before I gobbled it up.

I shredded about half a top round roast (maybe 2 pounds) and put it into a large skillet with a couple of tablespoons of water and mushroom bullion to warm and simmer. Then I pulled out my trusty Cuisinart, she who is held together with electrical tape but still chopping to beat the band, and chopped 1 1/2 cups of baby carrots, half a red onion, and some fresh ginger together. I transferred this to the skillet and added a few ingredients to create a “sauce” — but be careful to cook this down, you don’t want it to run out of your lettuce wrap.

The Pi Day Festival Richard Gwin/Journal-World Photo

MarCon pies from The Merc: caramel apple on the left and strawberry on the right.

The perfect day for pie

By Sarah Henning

Next week has a holiday on the calendar, though not the official one (St. Patty’s Day) or the unofficial one (tip-off of the NCAA Tournament).

No, it’s the one you probably don’t celebrate, even though you have a very good reason to mark the date on the calendar: pie.

Pi Day is March 14, which makes sense if you dust off the cobwebs and think back to math class. Pi is an irrational number that represents the relationship between the diameter (width) of a given circle and the circumference (the full distance around the circle). When proved out, pi has more than a trillion digits past the decimal, but to make things easy on those of us who aren’t math geniuses, it’s typically shortened to 3.14.

Three. Fourteen. March 14th.

Get it?

And not only is the day celebrated by math nerds everywhere for its numerological kitsch it’s the perfect excuse to eat some pie. Especially if you happen to want to attend Lawrence’s big holiday party, the Pi Day Festival at Theatre Lawrence, 1501 N.H. The festival will have a pi recitation contest, math humor, music and, of course, pie, in the form of a pie baking contest.

To get you thinking about pie, we thought we’d explore the science behind the perfect pie. Because, in a way, pie baking has its own mathematical elements: A baker’s ratios must be spot-on to create a perfect pie.

The first X factor? The crust.

It must be flaky but not dry, stretchy, but not over-moist. It’s such a head-scratcher that even professional bakers have trouble

with it. Case in point: Don Walsh, owner of MarCon Pies in Washington, Kan., says even the experienced workers he has at his bakery have to deal with temperamental dough.

“If the dough doesn’t appear to be right, you can’t rework it. It’s got to be thrown away,” says Walsh, whose bakery churns out 500 pies per day, some of which end up in Lawrence at both Hy-Vee stores and The Merc. “We throw away a lot of dough every day.”

Nikki Overfelt, former Go! Columnist and current professional baker operating out of Kansas City, Mo., says even though she had a goto recipe for crust (her mother’s), she’d still end up piecing together crusts within the pie pan.

“Practice helps. I realized after becoming frustrated and piecing together a lot of crusts that my dough was too dry, which is why it kept breaking into pieces,” says Overfelt, who adds that if you’re serious, purchasing a pastry cloth and rolling pin cover will help you out. “Adding a little more water worked wonders. And if you add too much water, just add a little more flour. Just don’t give up.”

As for the filling? If you like pie, but have never made one before, a fruit-filled Pi Day pie is definitely the way to go, says Overfelt.

“I’d say just try different recipes and find what you like. Then as you get more comfortable, adapt the recipes to your taste. Fruit pie fillings are basic with few ingredients, so they are simple to make and easy to play around with,” she says. “One example is my great-grandma’s lemon pie recipe. I made it, but it didn’t have a very strong lemon flavor. So I plan to play around with it.”

Pie plus play? Sounds like the perfect equation for an infinitely yummy Pi Day.

What: A celebration of Pi Day, with music, math and a pie-baking contest. Pie baking entrants must bring pie servers, though plates and utensils will be provided.

Where: Theatre Lawrence, 1501 N.H. When: 7 p.m., March 14 Cost: $10 For more info: http://www.lawrence. com/events/2012/mar/14/54373/

Strawberry-Blueberry Pie (Crimson and Blue-Berry Pie) 2 cups sliced strawberries 2 cups blueberries 1 cup sugar 5 tablespoons flour 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon butter Mix strawberries, blueberries, sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt together. Pour into pie crust.

Dot with cut-up butter. Seal with top crust. Slit the crust for ventilation. Bake at 425 degrees for 35-45 minutes. Yield: 1 pie filling.

My Mom’s Pie Crust 5 cups flour 1 pound lard (or substitute with your favorite fat, i.e. shortening or butter) 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon sugar 1 egg and water to equal 1 cup Mix flour, salt and sugar. Cut in fat. Mix in egg and water slowly and form dough. Yield: 5 pie crusts — Recipes from Nikki Overfelt, adventuresinbaking. posterous.com

Dear Annie: “Bill” and I have been married for 43 years. He retired three years ago.

We didn’t socialize with any of his co-workers, so I didn’t know them well.

Last Christmas, Bill got a card with no return address. It only had Bill’s name on it. I handed it to him so he had to open it in front of me. It was a really nice card from “Betty” and a note telling him how much she missed him, their talks, their lunches and their personal conversations. She suggested they get together for a holiday lunch.

When I asked Bill why he never mentioned Betty to me, he said the lunches didn’t mean anything and he probably forgot because they were so insignificant. I don’t believe him. We have always told each other everything. He put Betty’s card on display with the others, but I asked him to take it down since it wasn’t sent to us as a cou-

ple. He said he’d throw it away because it made me unhappy. But, Annie, my instincts said he was lying, so I checked the trash.

No card. The other day, I saw his old briefcase, and inside was Betty’s card.

He had written her phone number on it.

If this card meant nothing to him, why keep it?

Why lie to me? I love my husband. I want to trust him. I’ve never had reason not to, but I’m shaken to the core. Now I pay close attention when he leaves the house and keep track of how long he’s

‘I Am Bruce Lee’ explores cultural force “I Am Bruce Lee” (8 p.m., Spike) is a two- hour celebration of the actor, martial artist and cultural force. Less than 40 years have passed since Lee’s death in 1973 at the age of 32. “Lee” sets out to prove that his legend has only grown among a younger generation and that his blend of Western and Eastern fighting styles influenced the rise of mixed martial arts and Ultimate Fighting.

Friends, colleagues and admirers interviewed here include Kobe Bryant, Mickey Rourke, boxer Manny Pacquiao, MMA fighter Gina Carano and UFC star Jon Jones, as well as Lee’s widow and daughter.

Lee was well established as a child actor in Hong Kong’s film industry before coming to California. We also learn that he all but fled to the United States after one too many rooftop gang fights in his native land.

Fans of martial arts will appreciate how “Lee” documents its subject’s influence on the sport and his ability to synthesize Eastern philosophies for a broad audience. It’s also worth watching for vintage clips of Lee’s film and television work as well as home movies of his backyard classroom, where he taught Hollywood actors including Steve McQueen and James Coburn.

The film also emphasizes how much Lee’s masculinity and sex appeal meant to an Asian audience weary of weak, demeaning screen stereotypes. The film also shows how Lee’s celebrity and marriage to his white college sweetheart reflected Americans’ changing racial attitudes during the civil rights era.

“Doomsday Bunkers” (9 p.m., Discovery) is the second cable series to focus on apocalyptic paranoia (and those who profit from it). It profiles a Dallas-based firm that makes deep-earth shelters complete with filtration systems that can protect you against any eventuality.

Tonight’s other highlights

Hurtful souvenirs on “Whitney” (6 p.m., NBC).

Finalists perform on the 400th episode of “American Idol” (7 p.m., Fox).

Hosted by Steve Schirripa, “Nothing Personal: Murder for Hire” (8 p.m., ID) enters its second season of profiling hit men.

“Revenge for Real” (9 p.m., ABC) recalls a murder in the Hamptons.

The one-note Fran Drescher comedy “Happily Divorced” (9:30 p.m., TV Land) returns for another season.

gone. Last week, he said he needed to run some errands and was gone for nearly two hours. He claims he ran into “Dave,” a former co-worker, but I wonder if this was Betty’s holiday lunch.

I hate feeling this way.

My kids say to forget about it before I make myself sick. Are they right? Am I just paranoid? — Card Woes Dear Card: No. Your husband is not being totally truthful about Betty, and this creates suspicion and distrust, both of which undermine your relationship. You need to have a long talk with him and explain why his behavior is hurting you.

If he cannot reassure you sufficiently, the next step is counseling.

If you are single, you might be fortunate enough to attract someone who has similar issues and is willing to look at them with you. If you are attached, your willingness to look within will encourage the same from your mate. .

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult.

Aries (March 21-April 19) You have a strong sense of direction, no matter which way you turn. Listen to your sixth sense with regard to money. Tonight: Clear out your desk or workspace.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) No one can deny your creativity when you decide to apply your focus and ingenuity to a situation. You can make the unworkable workable. Tonight: Let your hair down.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Stay close to home, but be smart and don’t push your luck. You could be overly tired and dragging from recent pressures. Tonight: Happy at home.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You might want to have a long-overdue conversation. Be careful, as one of you could be angrier than anticipated. Tonight: Make it easy.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You could decide that you would prefer to stand back and assess a situation from a distance.

You have a strong sense of humor and enjoy yourself no matter what.

Tonight: Treat time.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Confusion surrounds a key person. If you overthink, you will not know which way to go. Be spontaneous. Tonight: The world is your oyster.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Pull back some, and understand what is happening behind the scenes. Your sense of humor goes a long way toward resolving a problem, in that you detach and become less involved. Tonight: Vanish quickly!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Zero in on the basics during a meeting. You finally gain someone’s confidence, and feel much better as a result. Tonight: Where the fun is.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Stay on top of your responsibilities. Though much could be happening around you, be sure to keep your plans and schedule intact.

Tonight: Know when to call it a day.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your ability to detach and see what others refuse to see earmarks your abilities, especially today. Creativity seems to flow naturally between you and others.

Tonight: Where the fun is.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might be dealing with one person after another. Everyone has something he or she needs your opinion on. Tonight: Dinner for two.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You need to sort through what you must do, as opposed to what you want to accomplish. Others need your input and could be quite demanding. Tonight: Hang out with a lively friend.

UNIVERSAL CROSSWORD

LOADING AN AIR RIFLE By Mark Hooper

3/7

to the executive chef. The executive chef apologized, invited us to dine at any of the hotel’s restaurants and suggested the most expensive one. He met us at the restaurant and said to order anything we wanted on the menu, starting with wine. The total bill came to $350.

I said we should leave a tip, but my wife (who has a restaurant background) said that when the management invites you, you do not tip. Who is right? — Comped Bill Dear Bill: You are. The waitstaff still had to work to serve you, no matter who paid the bill. Unless there was an added service charge that was then picked up by the owner, the waitstaff should not be penalized because you had a bad experience at ACROSS another location.
