City forum: Move on from rec center

Black-tailed prairie dog

Spring is in the air

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

A few questions on the Rock Chalk Park sports village may still be forthcoming, but City Commission candidates on Wednesday showed no signs of wanting to overturn this week’s decision to move forward on the project.

At a Voter Education Coalition forum on Wednesday, none of the six candidates raised the possibility of the new commission overturning Tuesday night’s decisions by the City Commission to provide incentives for the project and to begin the bid process for the project’s $25 million city recreation center.

Most of the candidates — when asked a general question about their views on the project — said it was time to move on.

Bill could lead to concealed carry in classes

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — School boards and university administrators would be able to decide if they want employees who have concealed-carry licenses to be able to carry their weapon on the job, under a bill approved Wednesday by a House committee.

The Federal and State Affairs Committee sent House Bill 2055 to the full House for consideration.

Under the measure, Kansas University Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little could allow licensed concealed-carry holders to carry concealed guns in certain buildings. The same would hold true for the Gray-Little Lawrence school board.

State Rep. Steve Brunk, R-Wichita, said he didn’t want the decision for universities left up to

the Kansas Board of Regents, which opposes concealed-carry in higher educaChestnut tion facilities.

“It disallows the freedom of any particular university,” Brunk said.

The amendment applies only to employees of schools and higher education institutions.

Kansas now prohibits concealed firearms in most government buildings. The bill would let the state, cities, Please see GUNS, page 2A

CATHY SUE CARTHEN Cathy Sue Grant Carthen was born January 6, 1957, in Junction City, KS, to Denievel Grant and Connie Oakry Grant.

She grew up in Junction City where she graduated from Junction City High School before attending the University of Kansas in Lawrence, KS. In 1977 while attending the University of Kansas, Cathy became a proud member of Alpha Kappa Alpha, Incorporated.

On December 17, 1984, Cathy was wed to Carlos J. Carthen and to this union two beautiful children were born; Collyn Lashea CarthenTeamer and Carlos James Carthen, II. Cathy was an affectionate, loving and devoted mother who supported her children unconditionally.

A motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love is something that no one can explain; it is made of deep devotion and of sacrifice and pain.

It is endless and unselfish and enduring come what may, for nothing can destroy or take that love away. It is patient and forgiving when all others are forsaking, and it never fails or falters even though the heart is breaking. It believes beyond believing when the world around condemns, it glows with all the beauty of the rarest brightest gems. It is far beyond defining, it defies all explanation and it still remains a secret like the mysteries of creation. A many splendored miracle man cannot understand and another wondrous evidence of Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tender guiding hand.

Cathyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dedication and loving spirit did not end with her children but was extended to other young people as well.

Her passion for mentoring others was a true testament of her loving

spirit and her willingness to support others who needed encouragement.

Cathy was a dedicated employee with KG&E (Wichita, KS) and One Oak Gas & Electric (Tulsa, OK) for 17 years. At the time of her passing she was employed with TBI in Atlanta, GA. She was a member of the Church at Chapel Hill, under the leadership of Reverend David Divine.

On Sunday, March 3, 2013 at the age of 56, Cathy transitioned from this earthly life into the presence of Almighty God. Cathy Sue leaves to cherish her memory; daughter, Collyn Lashea (Brian) Teamer, Antioch, TN; son, Carlos James Carthen, II, Atlanta, GA; grandsons, Andrew B. and Aaric B.

STANLEY A. KERN Stanley A. Kern, formerly of Lawrence, KS, passed away February 23, 2013, at Kingswood Manor, Kansas City, MO. Stan was born January 5, 1926, to Alexander & Gladys Kern, in McCook, NE. He grew up in Denver, CO, graduating from North High School. He served as a member of the United States Marine Corps in Saipan during World War II. He returned to Denver after receiving a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star, and attended the University of Denver, where he met the love of his life, Frances Patterson Kern. They married in December, 1949 and he was by her side when she passed away in December of 2010, after 61 years of parenting, partnering and loving each other through sickness and in health. Stan went to work for Oldsmobile Division of General Motors, starting in the Denver Zone, and moved his family from Denver to Casper, WY, Houston, TX, King of Prussia, PA, Hingham, MA, Okemos, MI, Leawood, KS, Rochester, MI, Okemos, MI and finally retiring to Lawrence, KS. In each new city, Dad & Mom put down roots as though they would live there a lifetime, and cultivated friendships which spanned the country and their lifetime.

While his vocation was management in the automobile industry, Stan had many avocations.

His volunteer calling led him to running audio and broadcasts for churches they joined along the way, as well as teaching Adult Education. He and Frankie were Stephen Ministry leaders and Ministers and volunteered cooking for LINK in Lawrence. Stan served on the COM and Synod for the Presbytery of Kansas. He was a Master Hunter Safety instructor, teaching many teens proper gun handling and outdoor skills. He enjoyed hunting, swimming and golfing. He shared interests with Frankie that included gardening, Oriental Art, Southwest Native American Pottery,

the most difficult issue confronting Lawrence schools in the near future is inadequate funding for education from the Kansas Legislature. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our Lawrence coalition gets it,â&#x20AC;? said Morse, a Lawrence native and attorney who is also actively campaigning for passage of the bond issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard them say over and over again, if you have friends and you have family in the rest of the state, contact them. Ask them to contact their legislators.

Kansas has got to come together to put funding back to our state. That is absolutely our greatest challenge.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do think that here in Lawrence, people really get it,â&#x20AC;? echoed Sanburn, the current board president who is also campaigning for the bond issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But in the state of Kansas, helping get that more broadly understood and wanting our public education to continue getting really good outcomes is going to be one of our greatest challenges.â&#x20AC;?

Adair and Byers agreed that securing more funding from the Kansas Legislature will be the biggest challenge facing the board.

But when asked how they would approach the possibility of cutting the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget if funding from the state is reduced, the candidates offered few specifics. All of them, however, said they would seek input from the community about where to cut. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we do have to work with budget issues, I think talking to the stakeholders in the community, having the community as a whole advocate for better funding would be the answer,â&#x20AC;? said Adair, who formerly worked in the prekindergarten program at East Heights Early Learning Family Center and now co-owns Wicked Broadband, an Internet service provider in Lawrence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In my first four years on the board, unfortunately, Vanessa (Sanburn) and I did have to address

this issue head-on,â&#x20AC;? said Byers, an assistant program administrator for the Kansas Department of Children and Families. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell you what I would or wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cut simply because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a simple question. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a complicated question with a very complicated set of answers as to what things are there that you really can afford to cut (and) how each cut affects children.â&#x20AC;?

One of the few questions that brought out different answers from the candidates dealt with a hypothetical issue: what new programs or curricula would each like to start if the district had enough money to do so?

Adair said she would advocate for a program in child nutrition.

Sanburn, who also serves on the Community Mercantile Education Foundation board, said she would like to expand the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nutrition program by hiring paid staff to expand the school food

ee policy, public institutions of higher learning would be exempt from the general expansion of concealed-carry rules for four years.

A proposal by state Rep. Emily Perry, D-Mission, would have renewed that exemption after four years, but it was voted down by the committee. Perry also tried to amend the bill to

prevent concealed carry of guns in community mental health centers, but that was defeated too.

The committee did approve an amendment that would eliminate the misdemeanor charge against a concealed carry license holder who carried his or her weapon in a prohibited area if the person left the area after being asked

gardens and the farm-toschool program.

But Byers and Morse both said they support expanding career and technical education, which is one element of the school districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upcoming bond proposal.

When asked whether they would support the teaching of evolution and creationism side-by-side in classrooms, Byers was the only candidate who hesitated in giving a definitive answer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would approach it gingerly, which is the way I do with my mom,â&#x20AC;? Byers said. In the end, though, he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the biblical aspect is better taught by the church.â&#x20AC;?

The other candidates all gave an unqualified â&#x20AC;&#x153;noâ&#x20AC;? to teaching creationism side-by-side with evolution in science classes, but said they would be comfortable teaching it as part of a religious studies class.

Voters will elect three of the candidates in the April 2 general election.

The forum was sponsored by the Voter Education Coalition, a nonpartisan collaboration of 15 community organizations and businesses, including the Journal-World.

The agreement states that Katt will remain an employee of the district as a consultant, but only one specific duty is mentioned: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr. Katt agrees that during his continued employment with the District he will make himself available to testify in litigation as to his knowledge and involvement regarding the roofing work performed by the Manning Company on a School District building.â&#x20AC;?

According to documents on the Ottawa school district website, the Ottawa school board received a presentation in September 2009 about critical roofing conditions on several of the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s buildings.

In addition to his salary and benefits, Katt will be paid $6,287.88 for unused, accrued vacation and personal days.

He will also be allowed to keep his district-issued cellphone, laptop and iPad, but will have to remove all school district information from them and will be responsible for obtaining his own telephone and Internet service plan.

The agreement also specifies that the only evaluations in Kattâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personnel file will be those that were approved by the school board up to and including Jan. 31, 2012. Both parties have agreed not to denigrate each other, either orally or in writing, and to release each other from any further liability regarding his employment.

Meanwhile, the Ottawa school board has named Assistant Superintendent Brian Kraus as interim superintendent while the district searches for a permanent replacement. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Reporter Peter Hancock can be reached at 832-7259. Follow him at Twitter.com/LJWpqhancock.

Volunteer grant to United Way renewed The United Way of Douglas Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Roger Hill Volunteer Center has received a Volunteer Generation Fund grant from the Kansas Volunteer Commission for the third year in a row.

The center will receive a grant of about $19,000, one of nine grants for Kansas organizations totaling about $139,000 announced by the commission this week.

Erika Dvorske, executive director of the Douglas County United Way, said the center has used the annual grant to promote youth volunteerism and support its online volunteer opportunity database at volunteerdouglascounty. org.

The database, which as of Wednesday listed more than 100 volunteer opportunities in the county, resulted in nearly 1,000 volunteer referrals in 2012, Dvorske said.

Kansas is one of 19 states to receive funding through the Volunteer Generation Fund, a program run through the Corporation for National and Community Service to support volunteer organizations, according to a Kansas Department of Education release.

Sides battle over reducing teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; collective bargaining

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; School administrators on Wednesday said a bill limiting teachers in contract negotiations would make schools run more efficiently, but a standing-room-only crowd of teachers and their advocates said the legislation represented an attack on teachers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The 35,000 who teach every day, who work for not enough

money, who work for your kids and grandkids, deserve to be treated better,â&#x20AC;? said David Schauner, general counsel of the LEGISLATURE Kansas National Education Association.

The two sides squared off over House Bill 2027 before the House Commerce, Labor and Economic Development Committee. The meeting ran long,

and Chairman Marvin Kleeb, R-Overland Park, said he would continue the hearing Friday.

The measure would reduce from 30 to five the number of issues that teachers could negotiate with local school boards.

For example, teachers could still negotiate for pay and sick leave but not performance evaluations. And opponents of the bill said even pay negotiations would be undermined because the legislation would allow an

alternative pay plan for some teachers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This bill essentially takes every collective voice away from teachers in Kansas,â&#x20AC;? Schauner said.

But Frank Henderson, president-elect of the Kansas Association of School Boards, said school boards need more flexibility â&#x20AC;&#x153;to be more proactive in managing school districts.â&#x20AC;?

Ken Willard, who chaired Gov. Sam Brownbackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s task

force on school efficiency, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe it enhances effectiveness.â&#x20AC;?

A similar bill prompted a letter of opposition from the Lawrence school board, which said the proposal was â&#x20AC;&#x153;ill-timed given surrounding circumstances, and quite simply seems to be a solution in search of an unillustrated and unjustified problem.â&#x20AC;?

BRIEFLY Tuesday Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Market gets new home The Downtown Lawrence Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Market has found a new home for its Tuesday afternoon markets.

City commissioners at their meeting Tuesday night unanimously agreed to allow the market to use the same city-owned parking lot that currently hosts the popular Saturday Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Market.

The lot is in the 800 block of Rhode Island Street, although it also can be accessed from New Hampshire Street.

Commissioners heard concerns from some downtown businesses that the Tuesday afternoon market, which will take just under 20 spaces in the parking lot, may create a parking crunch in the area.

But commissioners said they had seen evidence the lot could handle the extra use on a oneday-per week basis during the farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; market season.

Commissioners, though, directed staff members to ask officials at US Bank, 900 Massachusetts St., if public parking could be allowed on Tuesdays in a little-used bank-owned parking lot at the northwest corner of Ninth and Rhode Island. The bank previously had expressed an interest in helping the farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; market.

Resident charged with illegal feather sales

By Shaun Hittle

A Lawrence man and an Oklahoma man were charged Wednesday in federal court with â&#x20AC;&#x153;unlawfully selling feathers from eagles and hawks covered by a federal law protecting migratory birds,â&#x20AC;? according to a news release from the office of U.S. Attorney for Kansas Barry Grissom.

Lawrence resident Ruben Dean Littlehead, 38, and Brian K. Stoner, 32, of Ponca City, Okla., are accused of selling feathers from both golden and bald eagles between 2008 and 2009 in Douglas County. The arrest and charges were made following an investigation by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Littlehead is charged in four counts and Stoner in two. If convicted, they could face up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine on each count.

Court documents with additional details about the case were not available Wednesday.

Franklin County Sheriff Jeff Curry was charged in Franklin County District Court with a felony count of interfering with law enforcement, as well as a misdemeanor count of official misconduct, during his first court appearance Wednesday.

Curry, along with Franklin County Sheriff Deputy Jerrod Fredricks, was arrested last week

by KBI special agents.

Curry is free on a $3,000 bond and remains sheriff, but he is prevented from possessing a firearm, and prosecutors have begun the process of removing him from office.

Fredricks, also charged with a felony count of interfering with law enforcement, did not make a first appearance Wednesday, but is scheduled to appear in court with Curry for a prelimi-

Former Butler County District Court Judge John Sanders was appointed as a special judge and will be handling the Fredricks criminal cases, as well as the civil case attempting to remove Curry from office.

Todd Hiatt, an assistant district attorney from Shawnee County, has been appointed as a special prosecutor in the case at the request of Franklin County Attorney Stephen Hunting, who filed the civil case â&#x20AC;&#x201D; known as an â&#x20AC;&#x153;ouster proceedingâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to remove Curry from office. Records for the ouster case have been sealed by a Franklin County judge.

Curryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ouster hearing is scheduled for March 14. Prosecutors, at that time, can ask

Sanders to suspend Curry from his duties.

Details about the case remain scarce.

According to the criminal complaint, Curry is accused of using confidential information gained through his office for his or another personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gain, or to cause harm to another, on May 30, 2012, and then making false statements to investigators on Sept. 27, 2012.

Fredricks, who served as public information officer for the sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office, is accused of making false statements on Oct. 5, 2012, after the investigation had been made public. The circumstances of these alleged incidents remain unclear, however.

Both were booked into the Wyandotte County Jail last week but quickly posted bond.

Curry was appointed sheriff in 2010, and was elected to the post in the November general election.

Local educator 1 of 7 Master Teachers

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Kathleen Bowen has been named as one of seven teachers in the 2013 class of Kansas Master Teachers by Emporia State University.

Bowen is a gifted-education facilitator at Hillcrest School and Sunset Hill School in the Lawrence district. She was nominated for the award when she was named the Lawrence 2012-13 Master Teacher in December by the Lawrence Education Achievement

Partners, or LEAP. ESU established the Master Teacher awards in 1954, making this the 60th class of Kansas Master Teachers. The awards recognize teachers â&#x20AC;&#x153;who have Bowen served the profession long and well and who also typify the outstanding qualities of earnest and conscientious teachers,â&#x20AC;? according to the university.

This marks the second straight

year a Lawrence teacher has received one of the awards. In 2012, Kendra Metz, a language arts and reading teacher at Southwest Middle School, was one of the award winners.

ESU will honor this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recipients during a dinner and awards ceremony on April 3. The Master Teachers will also present a seminar from 2:30 p.m. to 3:45 p.m. that day in Visser Hall on the ESU campus. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Reporter Peter Hancock can be reached at 832-7259.

The Kansas University chapter of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity will no longer allow live animals at events, will host a service project benefiting an animal-related organization and will host an animal rights speaker at the fraternity, according to Martin Cobb, a spokesman for the national chapter.

The moves come in the wake of investigation into a Dec. 14 incident at the KU chapter, 1425 Tennessee St., in which a turkey was allegedly abused and later killed.

Cobb also said that the national organization hired Fraternity a private in- guidelines vestigator to have been look into the local case, but implethat investi- mented gation is not that would yet complete.

T u e s d a y , require Lawrence po- the expullice reported sion of any they had forwarded in- member formation to convicted the Douglas of animal County Dis- abuse. trict Attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office for potential criminal charges, though no one has yet been charged.

The fraternity still is under suspension by the national chapter â&#x20AC;&#x153;with limited privileges to operate as a chapterâ&#x20AC;? at KU, Cobb said. In addition, fraternity guidelines have been implemented that would require the expulsion of any member convicted of animal abuse.

The incident occurred during a formal dinner at the fraternity known as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Turkey Pull,â&#x20AC;? which has been going on at Beta Theta Pi for more than 100 years, Cobb said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The turkey has always served as nothing more than added decor for the event, including a suitable and proper living containerâ&#x20AC;? to house the turkey, Cobb said.

The turkey usually is rented from a local farmer, then returned to the farmer following the event, he said.

Mo. bill offsets proposed cut in income tax JEFFERSON CITY, MO. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Attempting to keep pace with tax-cutting Kansas, Missouri senators endorsed a plan Wednesday to shave hundreds of millions of dollars off the income tax bills of businesses and residents.

But the tradeoff could be higher taxes for shopping at stores and online.

The legislation given preliminary approval by the Republican-led Senate could mark Missouriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most significant overhaul of its tax policies in a couple of decades.

Republicans expressed hope that it would spur an economic revival â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or at least keep businesses and residents from being lured across the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s western border by the siren call of lower taxes.

Yet some Democrats called it â&#x20AC;&#x153;irresponsible,â&#x20AC;? noting that Kansas now faces a budget gap as a result of sweeping tax cuts that kicked in this year.

The Missouri legislation, which needs another vote to go to the House, would gradually reduce the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s income tax rate by three-quarters of a percentage point over five years while gradually increasing the state sales tax by one-half of a percentage point over that same period.

In addition to an overall income tax cut for individuals and businesses, the new plan would roughly double Missouriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current income tax deduction for people with adjusted gross incomes of less than $20,000 annually. The legislation also attempts to boost tax collections by tightening the requirements for when retailers must collect Missouri taxes and by joining a multistate compact that collects taxes from online sales.

When the income tax cuts are partially offset by the sales tax increases, the net effect could be a roughly $450 million re-

duction in state tax revenues, according to estimates from sponsoring Sen. Will Kraus, R-Leeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Summit.

The nonprofit Missouri Budget Project, which analyzes financial issues with an emphasis on their effect on the poor, estimated that the Senate legislation could reduce tax revenues by $700 million when fully phased in.

Kraus emphasized that his plan doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go as far as the one passed last year in Kansas, which cut income taxes without raising its sales taxes and now faces a projected budget shortfall of around $200 million for the fiscal year beginning in July. But he said his bill could make Missouri more competitive with its neighbor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m trying to stop the bleeding. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m trying to stop the businesses from fleeing into Kansas,â&#x20AC;?

Kraus said.

He proclaimed the plan â&#x20AC;&#x153;fiscally sound,â&#x20AC;? predicting it would â&#x20AC;&#x153;create an economic engine in our stateâ&#x20AC;? that would generate enough new tax revenues to make up for the losses.

But some Democrats warned that the tax cuts could wreak havoc on Missouriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget, making it even more difficult for the state to provide money to its already underfunded public schools.

Senate Minority Leader Jolie Justus, D-Kansas City, was among those who called the plan â&#x20AC;&#x153;irresponsible.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;What good are all these businesses going to be if we have a bunch of uneducated, unhealthy citizens?â&#x20AC;? Justus said during Senate debate.

Sen. Jason Holsman, D-Kansas City, suggested Missouri should wait to see the effect of the Kansas tax cuts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It may turn out that Kansas decides it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t such a good fiscal policy to decimate their revenue,â&#x20AC;? Holsman said.

City CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was a lot of discussion about the financing and the contracts, but those things have been approved, and in my opinion, it is time to move forward,â&#x20AC;? Rob Chestnut said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now it is time to make sure we have a great project and get the best bang for our buck.â&#x20AC;?

Chestnut was one of the three members on the Public Incentives Review Committee who on Tuesday declined to recommend approval of a set of incentives for the various stadium facilities that would be part of the Rock Chalk Park Project and would be adjacent to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recreation center.

City commissioners on Tuesday night ultimately approved the property tax abatement and other incentives.

Candidates Scott Criqui, Jeremy Farmer and Terry Riordan also all made statements at Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forum saying the community needed to move on from the divisive issue.

City Commissioner Mike Amyx, the lone incumbent in the race, and candidate Leslie Soden both said they still had more questions. But neither candidate brought up overturning the recent decisions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will not quit asking questions about it,â&#x20AC;? Amyx said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to make sure the public funds are looked after.â&#x20AC;?

Soden said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I certainly will be making sure that for $25 million we can get the best project that we can.â&#x20AC;?

Other issues Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forum didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t produce sharp differences on many issues between the candidates.

Among the issues raised were:

The future of the 1994 one-cent countywide sales tax. The sales tax is

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD proposed to pay for the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $25 million recreation center, but a question from the audience asked whether the permanent tax should instead be phased out at some point in time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would be against that,â&#x20AC;? said Riordan, who noted he was on the committee that helped campaign for the tax in the 1990s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has done so many good things.â&#x20AC;?

None of the candidates said they could commit to phasing out the sales tax, but Soden said she was disappointed that some leaders used the 1994 vote on the sales tax â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which was designed to fund recreation projects and other initiatives â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as a sign that the public nearly 20 years later supported the proposed recreation center.

Chestnut said he thought the time may be coming for the city and the county to discuss â&#x20AC;&#x153;redefining what the purposeâ&#x20AC;? of the tax will be in the future, but he said he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t envision the tax being eliminated.

The performance of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce on economic development issues. Another question from the audience asked whether candidates thought the chamber was doing a good job with public dollars it receives to promote economic development, or whether the city ought to hire city staff members to take over the role.

None of the candidates said they currently could support stripping the chamber of its economic development responsibilities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the chamber is doing a good job,â&#x20AC;? Farmer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it is being more open and more transparent. I think the chamber is moving in a direction that will bring a lot of jobs

to this community.â&#x20AC;?

Criqui said he thought the chamber should be made to produce more measurements of success. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think if the chamber of commerce can prove that it is delivering on certain outcomes, then it should continue to receive that funding,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Chestnut said he thought there had been an â&#x20AC;&#x153;unevennessâ&#x20AC;? in how the community defined success in the economic development arena but that the chamber would play an important role in helping create consensus on that question.

Riordan said he thought the chamber was making a lot of improvements, and Amyx said he thought the city was doing a good job of monitoring the investment it makes in the chamber.

Voters in the April 2 general election will choose three candidates from the field. Voters in the lightly attended Feb. 26 primary election narrowed the field to six.

Amyx, a city commissioner and downtown barber shop owner, finished in the top spot. He was followed by: Farmer, the chief executive of the food bank Just Food; Riordan, a Lawrence pediatrician; Chestnut, a former city commissioner and chief financial officer of a private company; Criqui, an executive with Lawrenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nonprofit Trinity In-Home Care; and Soden, the owner of a Lawrence pet care business. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; City reporter Chad Lawhorn can be reached at 832-6362.

Bats not welcome at convention center

Bailey Petrillo, student, Kansas City, Mo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would say someone who can (relate to) students, who is understanding and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just jump to conclusions.â&#x20AC;?

SALINA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Officials in Salina are happy to welcome thousands of visitors to the Bicentennial Center for conventions and sporting events every year, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one group theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to oust.

The Salina Journal reported that several thousand bats have entered the Bicentennial Center through cracks and vents.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve taken up residence in the mezzanine level, right above the public restrooms.

The City Commission voted unanimously this week to pay a pest control company about $35,000 to remove the winged mammals. The company will also seal the cracks and vents and clean up the batsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; droppings.

The cleanup and treatment will continue for a year.

The Bicentennial Center houses a 7,500-seat arena and an 18,000-square-foot convention space.

BRIEFLY BEIRUT (AP) — Syria’s accelerating humanitarian crisis hit a grim milestone Wednesday: The number of U.N.-registered refugees topped 1 million — half of them children — described by an aid worker as a “human river” of thousands spilling out of the war-ravaged country every day.

Nearly 4 million of Syria’s 22 million people have been driven from their homes by the civil war. Of the displaced, 2 million have sought cover in camps and makeshift shelters across Syria, 1 million have registered as refugees in neighboring Turkey, Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq and Egypt, and several hundred thousand more fled the country but haven’t signed up with the U.N. refugee agency.

The West has refrained from military intervention in the two-year-old battle to oust Syrian President Bashar Assad, a conflict that has claimed more than 70,000 lives, and many Syrians hold the international community responsible for their misery.

Storm strikes Mid-Atlantic WASHINGTON (AP) — A winter storm marched into the Mid-Atlantic region Wednesday, dumping nearly two feet of snow in some places and knocking out power to about 250,000 homes and businesses. It largely spared the nation’s capital, which was expecting much worse and had all but shut down.

Officials in Washington didn’t want a repeat of 2011, when a rush-hour snowstorm stranded commuters for hours, so they told people to stay off the roads and gave workers the day off.

Dubbed the “snowquester,” the storm closed government offices, just as the automatic budget cuts known as the sequester were expected to do.

A PRESIDENTIAL GUARD SOLDIER holds up a replica of Simon Bolivar’s sword during a procession Wednesday carrying the body of Venezuela’s late President Hugo Chavez from the military hospital where he died on Tuesday to a military academy where his body will lie in state until his funeral Friday, in Caracas, Venezuela.

Venezuela mourns, ponders its future

By Paul Haven Associated Press

CARACAS, VENEZUELA — By the hundreds of thousands, Hugo Chavez’s tearful supporters carried their dead president through streets still plastered with his smiling image, an epic farewell to a larger-than-life leader remembered simply as “our commander.”

In a display of raw, and at times unruly emotion, generations of Venezuelans, many dressed in the red of Chavez’s socialist party, filled Caracas’ streets Wednesday to remember the man who dominated their country for 14 years before succumbing to cancer.

Chavez’s flag-draped coffin floated over hundreds of thousands of supporters as it made its way atop an open hearse on a seven-hour journey to a military academy in the capital. Mourners followed the lead of a grim drum major, with some shouting out “nuestro comandante” — “our commander,” in English — as the coffin passed.

At the academy, Chavez’s family and close

advisers, as well as the presidents of Argentina, Bolivia and Uruguay, attended a funeral Mass before the president’s open casket. Later, the public slowly filed past in a show of respect expected to go on late into the night.

But even amid the outpouring of grief, questions about the country’s future could not be put off for long, with worries amplified by the government’s lack of regard for the letter of the constitution and the military’s eagerness to choose political sides.

Even as Chavistas said their goodbyes, a sense of foreboding gripped the country as it awaited word on what might come next.

Obama making overtures to GOP

By Julie Pace Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Shifting course in the face of political gridlock, President Barack Obama is making rare overtures to rankand-file Republicans, inviting GOP senators to dinner Wednesday, planning visits to Capitol Hill and working the phones with lawmakers.

Obama’s efforts are aimed at jump-starting budget talks and rallying support for his proposals on immigration and gun control.

The president’s new charm offensive underscores the limitations of his earlier attempts to use public pressure, rather than direct engagement, to win Republican cooperation. That strategy proved futile in recent weeks, as the White House and Congress failed to prevent $85 billion in automatic budget cuts that both sides said they wanted to avoid.

As that “sequester” has started taking effect, Obama has begun quietly calling congressional Republicans to discuss the prospects for an elusive longer-term deficit reduction deal as well as his other second-term priorities.

Aides say Obama is concentrating his outreach on lawmakers with a history

of bipartisan deal-making and those who have indicated some willingness to support increased tax revenue as part of a big deficit-cutting package.

In both his calls and dinner invitations, the president pointedly has skipped over Sen. Mitch McConnell and House Speaker John Boehner, the GOP leaders who insist that Obama will get no further tax hikes from Capitol Hill.

Republicans have had mixed reactions to the outreach from the president, who previously has shown little appetite for personal engagement with lawmakers, often preferring to assign those efforts to his staff and Vice President Joe Biden.

“He’s never spent anytime reaching out,” said Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., who spoke with the president this week about gun legislation. “The question is, is it starting to change because there is bad poll numbers or is it because he really decided he’s going to lead and solve some of the problems of the country?”

Sen. Lindsey Graham, a frequent critic of the White House on national security issues, said he was encouraged by Obama’s efforts.

“This is how you solve hard problems,” the South Carolina Republican said.

Control crabgrass now before it begins to spread R emember crabgrass? It was the tough, clumpy, impossible-to-pull grass that took over lawns and flower beds all over northeast Kansas in the heat of last summer. While you were busy trying to keep it under control, it was busy producing thousands of seeds that will germinate soon.

You might be wondering why we even want to control crabgrass if it does such a good job of multiplying itself. To best answer this, think about what purposes lawns serve. Probably most important is the role turfgrasses play in preventing and reducing erosion in large areas. Crabgrass is shallow-rooted and has a shorter growing season than the recommended turfgrasses for this area, so erosion is more likely to occur in areas where crabgrass has taken over.

From an athletic standpoint, crabgrass lacks the cushion provided by perennial grasses.

In areas other than the lawn, crabgrass uses nutrients and water that might otherwise be used by flowers, vegetables, trees, shrubs or other plants that provide their own benefits.

Also, one little clump of crabgrass might be of minor concern, but crabgrass lives to reproduce.

According to the University of Rhode Island, one crabgrass plant can produce 150,000 seeds.

There are a few things you can do to get a head start on crabgrass control this year, though, and now is the time to do it.

Crabgrass seeds germinate about the same time in the spring that redbud trees are in full bloom. In most years this is around April 15 in the Lawrence area, so a pre-emergent product would need to be applied prior to that. There are both organic and conventional pre-emergent products from which to choose.

Getting your lawn back in shape is just as important as a pre-emergent.

(Dense, healthy turf is by far the best way to control lawn weeds.)

Tables that are pieced together helped big families save space

By Terry Kovel

Small rooms need small furniture, but large families need large tables. This problem has been solved in a variety of ways since the 17th century.

Homes with long center halls, which were needed to keep the house cool filled the space with several tables that could fit together to form one large table.

A favorite style was a four-legged center table and two end tables with curved leaves that could be raised to be level with the center table or dropped to hang at the side.

By Victorian times, the table could be on a center pedestal with sides that pulled out so leaves could be added. By the late 1890s, patented slides and hardware made it possible to pull both ends of a table out, then to fill the vacant space with leaves that matched the tabletop. And by the 1900s, some tables had selfstoring leaves that popped into place from under the tabletop when the top was turned or pulled out.

But the most interest-

THIS MULTIPART TEAK COFFEE TABLE was designed by Peter Hvidt for France and Son of Denmark in the 1960s. It is 17 inches high and, when put together, 51 inches in diameter.

Rago Arts and Auction Center of Lambertville, N.J., sold it for $3,750. ing and rarest are round tables made larger by the addition of wedge-shaped pieces, or a group of tables that could be made into one round table.

Peter Hvidt (1916-1986) was an architect and furniture designer in Copenhagen, Denmark. He made furniture, usually of teak and steel, in the 1960s.

Pieces were very streamlined in the prevailing Danish style — thin legs and arms, no fancy trim, very little upholstery. The unique table was made of three curved shapes that could be put together in different ways. There could be one large, round table, a

middle-size table or a small table for one.

Rago Arts and Auction Center in New Jersey sold one recently for $3,750.

Market move Downtown Farmers’ Market organizers should be grateful for the City Commission’s willingness to accommodate their first choice for a Tuesday market location.

L

awrence city commissioners decided Tuesday to go the extra mile to accommodate the popular Downtown Farmers’ Market.

A new location was being sought for the Tuesday market after new long-term parking was added in the market’s former home in the 1000 block of Vermont.

Market organizers were adamant that the only appropriate location for the Tuesday market was in the same location as its Saturday market — the public parking lot on the east side of the 800 block of New Hampshire Street.

After considering many different options for the market, commissioners decided — over the objections of nearby business owners and the Downtown Lawrence Association — to bow to the market’s request to operate the Tuesday market at the same location as the Saturday market. Because the Tuesday market attracts fewer vendors, the expectation is that it will restrict its operation to the portion of the parking lot east of the alley, leaving the rest of the lot available to parking.

One of the locations the city was considering for the Tuesday market was a little-used parking lot owned by US Bank at the northwest corner of Ninth and Rhode Island streets. Market officials rejected that site, along with every other site suggested by the city, saying the Tuesday market had to be in the same location as the Saturday market to accommodate customers. Even if customers were looking for the market in the middle of the 800 block of Rhode Island, it seems likely they would find it a half-block to the south, but city commissioners decided to accede to the market organizers’ request.

The city also agreed to take responsibility for trying to negotiate a deal to use the US Bank lot for overflow parking on Tuesday afternoons when the city’s lot will be blocked off for the market. Never mind the confusion that could cause for people who may be allowed to park in the US Bank lot on Tuesday afternoons but not any other day.

The Downtown Farmers’ Market certainly is a popular attraction for Lawrence, drawing many local residents to both shop and socialize. The Tuesday market has always been significantly smaller than the Saturday market but perhaps, as organizers contend, having both markets at the same location will give a boost to the midweek event.

City commissioners certainly have done their best to work with the market organizers. Hopefully, moving the market won’t cause too much inconvenience for downtown merchants, employees and customers who normally park in the market’s new home. Also, it is hoped all parties realize the city’s action should not be viewed as guaranteeing the new location for many years. If it doesn’t work or if there are too many problems, city officials can and should make the necessary changes.

WASHINGTON — “When I first met Richard Nixon,” Robert Bork says in the book he completed a few weeks before his death in December, “I could see in his expression the conviction that someone had blundered badly.” With the dry wit that, together with his mastery of the dry martini, made him delightful company, Bork says the president, who “almost visibly recoiled,” evidently considered his red beard emblematic of Ivy League left-wingery. Nixon probably thought the barbarians were within the gates.

They were. On Nixon’s staff.

“Saving Justice: Watergate, the Saturday Night Massacre, and Other Adventures of a Solicitor General,” Bork’s recounting of events of 40 years ago, is an antidote to today’s tendency to think that things in Washington have never been worse. Bork became Nixon’s solicitor general in June 1973, 12 months after the Watergate burglary. Then Bork, fresh from Yale Law School’s faculty, met Nixon: “Apparently unsure if he was really dealing with a conservative Ivy League professor, he assured me his conservatism was something of a pose to keep others from moving too far left.” Conservatives knew this.

In the summer of 1973, Vice President Spiro Agnew asked to see Bork, but “really had nothing of substance to say.”

Bork would soon learn why Agnew wanted to establish a relationship. A few weeks

“

Bork deserves to be remembered by a grateful nation for the services he rendered in preventing disarray in the Justice Department at a moment of unprecedented assault on the rule of law …” later, Nixon’s chief of staff, Al Haig, asked Bork to become Nixon’s chief defense counsel concerning Watergate matters, and told Bork that Agnew was under criminal investigation for accepting bribes while governor of Maryland, payments that continued while he was vice president.

While pondering Haig’s offer, Bork sought the advice of a Yale colleague, with whom he spoke on a “dark, semi-rural road” in suburban Virginia: “It’s an indication of the paranoia of the time that I really wanted to be someplace where it was impossible to be overheard.” By September, Bork and a few others knew the nation faced a novel possibility — a double impeachment, which could elevate to

the presidency the speaker of the House, Oklahoma’s Carl Albert, who the year before may have been intoxicated when he drove his car into some other cars outside Washington’s Zebra Room saloon.

Agnew, says Bork, was “never one to miss out on making a little extra cash,” so he said that if he was forced out of the vice presidency “he hoped to remain in the administration a few more months to ensure his pension would vest.” When Bork and Attorney General Elliot Richardson were being taken into the Oval Office to explain to Nixon why Agnew should be indicted, Richardson got Bork into a White House restroom to talk. He turned on the faucets “in the expectation that the noise of running water would make our conversation inaudible if anybody was eavesdropping electronically.”

Claiming “vice presidential immunity,” Agnew said he could not be indicted until he had been impeached and removed from office. Bork and others rejected this because the vice presidency is not sufficiently central to governance. Yet in those fevered days, a Justice Department memo suggested that even a president could be indicted before impeachment because with the aid of modern technology he could run the executive branch from jail. But, the memo said measuredly, this “might be beneath the dignity of the office.”

On an October Saturday, when Nixon ordered Richardson to fire Archibald Cox, the Watergate special prosecutor, Richardson and his deputy resigned, urging Bork to execute Nixon’s lawful order, which he did. By the two resignations, he became acting attorney general, in which capacity he protected the ongoing investigation of Nixon.

At work the Sunday morning after the “Saturday Night Massacre,” his first official act as attorney general was to sign lease renewal forms for an oil field in Natrona County, Wyo., that became famous during President Warren Harding’s unsavory administration. The field’s name — Teapot Dome — was shorthand for political corruption, until displaced by Watergate.

Watergate now seems as distant as the Punic Wars. Nixon, born 100 years ago in January, is remembered for large diplomatic as well as criminal deeds. Agnew is deservedly forgotten. Bork deserves to be remembered by a grateful nation for the services he rendered in preventing disarray in the Justice Department at a moment of unprecedented assault on the rule of law, and for facilitating the removal of a president during Washington days that were darker than most people today can imagine. His book confirms the axiom that our ignorance of history makes us libel our own times.

Bork book recalls dark Nixon era

Brendon Ayanbadejo is wrong.

It is painful to say that.

Ayanbadejo’s heart is in a good place and the advice he gave last week on MSNBC’s “The Ed Show” was practical and well intentioned. But mainly, yes, it was wrong.

Here’s the back story. It seems NFL prospect Nick Kasa recently told ESPN Radio that he was asked in an interview with a team he won’t specify whether he is married, if he has a girlfriend and whether he likes girls. It was a spectacularly stupid line of inquiry for two reasons.

One: It has nothing to do with his abilities as a football player.

Two: It’s fresh evidence of the NFL’s estrangement from the 21st century, coming as it does in the wake of Chris Culliver of the San Francisco 49ers — repeat: the San Francisco 49ers — dismissing the notion of a gay player by saying, “Can’t be with that sweet stuff. Nah, can’t be in the locker room.”

Enter Ayanbadejo, a Baltimore Ravens linebacker and outspoken proponent of gay rights. What, he was asked,

Leonard Pitts Jr.

“

lpitts@miamiherald.com

Martin Luther King Jr. once said he’d never participated in a campaign that someone didn’t consider ill-timed.” should a prospective player do if he is gay and some team asks if he likes girls? Ayanbadejo’s advice? Lie. “I think players need to say that they’re straight right now,” he said. “You need to get drafted as high as you can get drafted, get the money while you can.”

“Maybe later,” he added, “once you establish yourself and when we break down some of these walls in the NFL, then players will be more comfortable to really be who they are.” Eventually, he said, perhaps football will see “our Jackie Robinson, our pioneer for gay rights and equality.”

But the thing is, Jackie

Robinson did not come along after the walls had been broken down. He was the one swinging the sledgehammer.

The idea that progress must wait for an opportune time, that a trailblazer should defer trailblazing till he makes some money, reflects a misunderstanding of what social change is and how it is made.

Truth is, the timing is never right in the view of those whose prerogatives and prejudices are challenged.

Martin Luther King Jr. once said he’d never participated in a campaign that someone didn’t consider ill-timed.

So that closeted gay football star, that closeted basketball, hockey or baseball player still trying to prove he “likes girls,” ought to be guided less by the words of Brendon Ayanbadejo than by the words of an old children’s singsong: “Come out, come out, wherever you are.”

That is, yes, a very easy thing to say if you’re not the one being asked to risk money, career, ostracism, family, maybe even physical intimidation. But if heroism were without risk, everybody would be a hero.

And that is exactly what the active player in one of the four major sports who comes out of the closet right

now will be. He will debunk the bassackward “thinking” of the Chris Cullivers of the world and become a beacon for every high school quarterback, two guard and first baseman now living alone and scared in the prison of a secret sexuality. He might even save that child’s life.

In his first speech as leader of the Montgomery bus boycott, King said, “There comes a time when people get tired …” He could not speak again for 20 seconds. At that simple statement, his audience erupted, overwhelming him with shouts and cries releasing the pent-up frustration and swallowed-down rage of people who’d finally had their fill of the everyday indignities and petty humiliations of their lives.

What we are waiting on, then, is not some mythical moment when the timing is right for a gay athlete. Rather, what we are waiting on is an athlete who has gotten tired.

Tired enough to take a risk, tired enough to be brave.

Because when people get that tired, change comes.

And then the timing takes care of itself.

STATE BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Separate sports, politics It wasn’t enough for university presidents and chancellors to mess up college sports — thanks to the Knight Commission — now the politicians want their bottles of spray paint.

Now that Kansas state legislators introduced a bill that would require Kansas and Wichita State to play basketball against each other, why stop there? Why not just stick their noses in all sorts of sports issues.

Before considering other bills that could be introduced to make the state’s sports world a better place, consider what a man who played basketball for both WSU and Kansas thinks of politicians trying to legislate college basketball schedules.

“Please tell me that the legislature has more important things to worry about than whether two teams play a few basketball games,” Greg Dreiling wrote to me in a LinkedIn exchange I initiated.

“If the schools cannot decide how to get together for a game of hoops, then I am sure there is nothing that the state government can do to move along the most pressing issue of this generation.”

Amen.

But as long as the politicians want to run sports, here are a few suggestions for more sensible bills: 1. Ban all coaches and announcers from using the phrase “score the basketball.”

What else do you think the players are trying to score?

Dates? Points with professors?

2. Ban all high schools from holding team banquets days before playing the most important game of the season. Free State had its football feast days before getting blown out by Shawnee Mission West, a sour note on which to end a spectacular season. The last thing a group of teenagers needs to hear when coaches are filling one ear with constructive criticism is to have the other filled with praise for their super accomplishments. Horrible timing.

3. Forbid from ever typing on a computer again any parent who reacts to his son not making a high-enough level team by staging a widespread, multi-year, gutless, anonymous smear campaign behind the armor of screen names and e-mail addresses.

4. Make it illegal for any college basketball coach to double as an actor performing a lead role in an HBO series.

Really, does KU assistant basketball coach Joe Dooley think he’s fooling anybody by using the stage name Steve Buscemi when portraying Nucky Thompson in smash hit “Boardwalk Empire”?

5. Change the term “technical foul” to “Melvin” for anyone who displays outrageously excessive, ill-aimed anger on a basketball court.

This would lead to announcers cautioning, “He had better be careful. He already has one Melvin tonight. One more Melvin and he’ll be ejected.”

6. Require any cheapskate who doesn’t buy the house a drink after he makes a holein-one not only to return all prizes, but give up the game of golf for life.

That should be enough to keep our elected officials so busy they won’t even notice if KU and WSU happen to face each other later this month in the NCAA Tournament, where KU doesn’t have any say in scheduling opponents.

Just too much

FREE STATE HIGH’S WESTON HACK CONSOLES TEAMMATE CODY SCOTT (23) after the Firebirds’ 56-37 loss to Blue Valley Northwest in the first round of the Class 6A state playoffs on Wednesday in Wichita.

FSHS overwhelmed by mighty Huskies

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

WICHITA — Not one opponent this season has brainstormed a way to overcome the speedy and crafty guard attack of Blue Valley Northwest’s boys basketball team.

The Huskies bludgeon with deadly defensive traps, own a revolving door of guards who can get to the rim off the dribble and have the experience of playing in a program that has finished as Class 6A’s state runner-up each of the past three years.

Leading his unheralded, No. 8 seed Free State team into Koch Arena for a first-round meeting with the state tournament’s untouchables, the No. 1 Huskies, coach Chuck Law thought it wouldn’t take perfection for FSHS to pull off the upset of the postseason.

But something pretty close to that sure would help.

His Firebirds gave him as near to a flawless first half as a coach could hope for Wednesday afternoon against BVNW, but the Huskies got back to their lethal brand of hoops when it came time to win and ended Free State’s season with a 56-37 victory.

“We couldn’t have asked for much more at halftime,” Law said of a 22-17 deficit for Free State, which held 6A’s top-ranked team to five firstquarter points and 8-for-20 shooting through two quarters.

FIREBIRDS CODY SCOTT (23) AND KEITH LONEKER tie up Blue Valley Northwest’s Ben Richardson.

The discussion in the Free State locker room at the break centered on keeping within five or so points — at least single digits — of BVNW going into the fourth quarter, so the Firebirds (11-12) could find out if the pressure of getting knocked off by an underdog would get in the Huskies’ heads.

The savvy guards of BVNW (23-0) never gave their challengers that opportunity. First, Vince Fritz cut to the lane for a layup. Then Kyle Harrison turned an FSHS turnover into a three-pointer in transition.

Next, Fritz drained a three. By the time Clayton Custer recovered a shot that Free State senior Cody Scott had just blocked and put it back in the basket, the Huskies owned a 32-17 lead.

Junior FSHS forward Khadre Lane, who scored a team-high 15 points, said when Free State committed five of its 14 turnovers in the third quarter, it gave the juggernaut life.

“That’s exactly what they do. They would turn us over, and when they get a shot, they’re not gonna miss it,”

Lane said. “They’d get an open shot or a three. The whole game, our philosophy was to limit the turnovers, and once we had that little stretch in the third quarter, it got out of hand.”

Northwest stretched its lead to 40-23 when Custer (game-high 20 points) hit two free throws at the 2:06 mark of the third, but Law was pleased to see FSHS respond with a Lane jumper, Blake Winslow layup and Scott tipin to close the quarter. Free State did enough to enter the fourth down 40-29.

“We were kind of there to make it interesting, but we took a couple quick shots (to open the fourth) and missed some stuff around the basket,” Law said. “They’re long, they’re athletic, and stuff we had finished recently, we didn’t finish today. And we didn’t make enough shots to win the game.”

The Firebirds found success on just four of their 12 field-goal attempts in the final eight minutes and finished the game 16-for-45 from the floor (35.6 percent).

The Huskies didn’t exactly shoot lights out in the fourth, making three of their six attempts, but they did more than enough to get by at the free-throw line, converting 10 of their 13 tries. BVNW won and advanced to face Derby in a Friday semifinal behind Please see STATE, page 3B

Self: Lucas will ‘be a load’ ————

KU coach counting on freshman to help inside next year

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

So far, Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self has signed five high school basketball players in the recruiting Class of 2013 — guards Conner Frankamp, Frank Mason and Wayne Selden, forward Brannen Greene and center Joel Embiid.

Scholarship offers also have been extended to for-

wards Julius Randle and Andrew Wiggins.

In Self’s perfect world, those seven players would be making their KU debuts in 2013-14 with another newcomer — red-shirt freshman power forward Landen Lucas — who has practiced but not played in games this season.

“He’s doing great. He’s becoming more explosive,” Self said of Lucas on Tuesday’s “Hawk Talk” radio

show. “He’s probably the toughest kid we have inside without question. He is a presence. He needs to get a little more athletic, quicker twitch in some areas, but he’s really gained on that. I think he’ll be a load. I think he’s going to be a really nice player.”

The 6-10, 240-pound Lucas Mike Yoder/Journal-World Photo averaged 21.0 points, 14.0 rebounds and 4.0 blocks a game KU COACH BILL SELF SAYS LANDEN LUCAS has been “doing great” during his Please see HOOPS, page 3B red-shirt season.

Hosmer added to WBC roster SURPRISE, A RIZ. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kansas City Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer will replace the injured Mark Teixeira on the United States team at the World Baseball Classic.

Hosmer received a text message late Tuesday from Tony Clark of the players union, asking if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be interested in a spot on the roster.

After getting a call from U.S. manager Joe Torre and receiving the blessing of the Royals, Hosmer quickly agreed to join the Americans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great opportunity,â&#x20AC;?

Hosmer told the Associated Press on Wednesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any chance you get to represent your country, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to jump at the opportunity. So Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very excited.â&#x20AC;?

Teixeira strained his right wrist while swinging off a tee Tuesday, shortly before the U.S. tied 4-4 with the Chicago White Sox in an exhibition game.

Chiefs release tackle Winston KANSAS CITY, MO. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Kansas City Chiefs made another move in their roster overhaul under new leadership Wednesday night, releasing right tackle Eric Winston after only one season.

The team had not announced the move, but Winston said on Twitter: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just wanted to confirm that I have been released.â&#x20AC;? Winston went on to say that although he had a difficult season, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trade the relationships I made in KC and the overall experience I had for anything.â&#x20AC;?

Winston signed a four-year, $22 million deal last offseason, but he struggled early in the year and then ran afoul of some fans after he criticized a small percentage for cheering when embattled quarterback Matt Cassel sustained a head injury during a game.

Big 12 Men Iowa St. 87, No. 13 Oklahoma St. 76 AMES, IOWA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Senior Will Clyburn scored 20 points, and Iowa State beat Oklahoma State on Wednesday night to bolster its NCAA Tournament hopes.

Georges Niang added 18 points for the Cyclones (2010, 10-7 Big 12), who notched just their second victory over a ranked opponent.

Oklahoma State trailed by as many as 15 points, but Marcus Smartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reverse dunk made it 70-68 with 4:28 left. Clyburn answered with a three, and Tyrus McGeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three a minute later put the Cyclones ahead 78-68.

Smart was brilliant for Oklahoma State (22-7, 12-5), scoring 24 points with eight rebounds and five steals. But it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough as the Cowboys lost for just the second time in 12 games.

Oklahoma 83, West Virginia 70 NORMAN, OKLA. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Romero Osby scored 26 points, Steven Pledger chipped in 23, and Oklahoma led wire to wire for the fourth straight home game.

The Mountaineers (13-17, 6-11 Big 12) trimmed a 17-point deficit down to three in the opening minutes of the second half and were within four with 5 minutes left before Andrew Fitzgerald converted a three-point play off a driving layup before hitting a jumper on back-to-back possessions. Pledger followed with a three-pointer to make it 76-64 with 3:16 remaining.

Top 25 Men Villanova 67, No. 5 Georgetown 57 PHILADELPHIA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; JayVaughn Pinkston scored 20 points to help Villanova beat a top-five team for the third time this sea-

son. The Wildcats (19-12, 10-8 Big East) also beat then-No. 5 Louisville and then-No. 3 Syracuse and have put themselves in solid shape for at least an NCAA Tournament at-large bid. All three wins over top-five teams came at the Wells Fargo Center, the site of tournament games the first weekend.

Georgia Tech 71, No. 6 Miami 69 CORAL GABLES, FLA. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Marcus Georges-Hunt followed his own miss to tip in the winning basket at the buzzer, and Georgia Tech rallied past Miami to prevent the Hurricanes from clinching the outright Atlantic Coast Conference title.

The Hurricanes (23-6, 14-3 ACC), who squandered an 11-point lead in the second half, lost for the third time in four games and fell to 13-1 at home.

They are assured of a share of the title.

No. 7 Michigan 80, Purdue 75 WEST LAFAYETTE, IND. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Trey Burke had 26 points and five rebounds to lead Michiganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rally.

Terone Johnson scored a career-high 35 points, and Rapheal Davis added 15 for Purdue (1416 7-10 Big Ten), which has lost five of its last seven games.

No. 11 Florida 66, Vanderbilt 40 GAINESVILLE, FLA. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kenny Boynton scored 15 points, Pat Young added 14, and Florida routed Vanderbilt to clinch the Southeastern Conference regular-season championship.

Florida won its fourth outright league title and third under longtime coach Billy Donovan.

No. 12 New Mexico 75, Nevada 62 RENO, NEV. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tony Snell scored 25 points, and Cameron Bairstow and Alex Kirk added double-doubles to lead New Mexico to its sixth straight victory.

Bairstow had 15 points and 10 rebounds and Kirk had 11 points and 10 rebounds for the Lobos (26-4, 13-2 Mountain West), who trailed 55-53 but ran off 17 straight points late in the second half to improve to 8-3 on the road.

Xavier 77, No. 16 Saint Louis 66, OT CINCINNATI â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Travis Taylor had 19 points and a career-high 19 rebounds, and Xavier never trailed in the overtime, beating Saint Louis and ending the Billikensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 11-game winning streak.

Xavier (17-12, 9-6 A-10) ended a long winning streak for the second time in eight days. The Musketeers snapped Memphisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 18-game streak at the Cintas Center last week.

No. 17 Syracuse 78, DePaul 57 SYRACUSE, N.Y. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Brandon Triche and James Southerland combined for 37 points in the final home game of their careers, and Syracuse beat DePaul to snap a three-game losing streak.

Syracuse (23-7, 11-6 Big East) broke a rare two-game losing streak in the Carrier Dome.

No. 5 Georgetown started it 11 days ago with a 57-46 win that stopped the Orangeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 38-game winning streak, the longest in the nation at the time.

No. 21 VCU 93, Richmond 82 RICHMOND, VA. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Treveon Graham scored 15 of his 21 points in the second half, including the go-ahead basket with 2:58 to play, and VCU beat city rival Richmond, avoiding a sweep of the season series.

Washington St. 73, No. 23 UCLA 61 PULLMAN, WASH. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Brock Motum had 20 points and 11 rebounds as last-place Washington State defeated UCLA, breaking a 19-game home losing streak to the Bruins that extended to 1993. Royce Woolridge added 19 points for WSU.

BRIEFLY Big 12 honors KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Redwine Kansas Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Stanley Redwine was named Big 12 Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Indoor Track and Field Coach of the Year, the league announced Monday.

He had been named the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outdoor coach of Redwine the year in 2005.

The Jayhawks won their first Big 12 Indoor title and are sending a program-best 11 athletes to this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NCAA Indoor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m definitely excited about this, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m more excited for our athletes because this is just another honor for our program,â&#x20AC;?

Redwine said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thankful for both the athletes and assistant coaches because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s their hard work that put me in a position to get this award.â&#x20AC;?

In his 12 seasons, Redwine has had 11 of his Jayhawks claim individual titles, 117 All-Americans and five Olympians, including 2012 gold medalist Diamond Dixon. Two of Redwineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s KU teams have already been inducted to the Kansas Athletics Hall of Fame â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the 2001 and 2002 menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teams after each finished eighth at the NCAA Outdoor Championships.

KU bowling heads to Vegas The Kansas University bowling team will be participating in one of the four intercollegiate team championship sectionals from today through Monday in Las Vegas. The top four squads in each 20-team sectional will advance to Nationals, which will take place April 18-20 in Lincoln, Neb. KU is led by Dylan Burns, who has a 209.7 average. Jessy Bauer (205.4), Kyle Turner (193.7), Nick Campfield (191.0), Chris Flowers (185.6), Tyler Woods (180.9) and Kyle Rosberg (169.1) also will be competing for KU.

Correction A story in Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Journal-World about Free State Highâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hack brothers misidentified a teammate.

Junior forward Khadre Lane credited Wilson Hack for keeping everyone in line: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Behind-the-scenes stuff, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really on it.â&#x20AC;?

Law said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When they spread you out like that with all their ball-handlers, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re virtually impossible to beat. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play from behind.â&#x20AC;?

Junior Free State guard Keith Loneker, who scored eight points on 4-for-8 shooting, said the Firebirds knew the Huskies would play at a higher level in the second half. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We came out just a little bit lackadaisical,â&#x20AC;? the junior guard said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That little stuff killed us.â&#x20AC;?

Junior forward Cole Moreano (game-high 13 rebounds) scored a second-chance bucket for FSHS less than two minutes into the fourth quarter to cut the BVNW lead to 11 before the Huskies pulled away.

Still, Law said he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been more proud of the Firebirds.

Law said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do enough in terms of getting into offense.â&#x20AC;?

noticed, but we have no headbands. I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had to say anything about it, since nobodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s asked me (permission to wear them), but Kevin ... oh my gosh, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tested my patience with growing his hair out. You see it when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s combed. I see it every day when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not (at practice). â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is absolutely great,â&#x20AC;?

Randle in burger game: Randle, a 6-9 forward from Prestonwood Christian Academy in Plano, Texas, on Wednesday was added to the East roster of the McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s All-America Game (April 3, Chicagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s United Center).

Rivals.comâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No. 2 rated player will announce his college choice on March 20 on ESPNU. He is considering KU, Kentucky, Florida, Texas, N.C. State and Oklahoma. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure where I want to go,â&#x20AC;? Randle told USA Today. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But this can be a stressful thing, and I set the date to give myself a cutoff for a decision. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want it to linger on.

I feel like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m confident enough in myself that by that time Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll feel 100 percent about where Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll go.

Wife does not want to get full-time job

to look elsewhere. She might want to stay home with the kids and believe you should be the one to get a different job. And of course, there may be other issues of which you are unaware. Tell her that you are worried about your financial situation, and ask, gently, why she is so reluctant to deal with it. But keep in mind that while nice, a house is not a requirement for raising a family. Many couples manage just fine without one.

‘Frock Stars’ well-tailored to audience

Dear Annie: I staunchly refuse to attend gatherings thrown by a particular friend who is obsessive about RSVPs. She insists on them for everything from a backyard BBQ to a girls’ night at the movies.

Telling her “yes” over the phone or in person doesn’t count. It has to be by return mail or a response to an Evite.

I live 200 miles away.

Once, I RSVP’d yes, but my car broke down two days before the event.

I called immediately to tell her I wouldn’t be able to come, and she berated me for having said “yes” if it was not a sure thing, like I planned that my car would break down. Then she criticized me for not being able to afford the repairs in time. A month later, I received pictures of the trip to Europe she treated herself to in order to make up for the disappointment of my having

ruined her party.

I rarely wish to be anywhere near her now and pointedly ignore all invitations that are not delivered verbally. If I can’t make it, I pretend I am treating her to her next extravagant vacation. — Had Enough With RSVPs Dear Had Enough: Your friend sounds like a very high-maintenance drama queen. Insisting on formal RSVP responses for informal gatherings is obsessive, and berating you for things beyond your control is punitive. We don’t know why you persist with this relationship, but since you live 200 miles away, it would be fairly simple to move out of her orbit entirely.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might feel as if there is no going back with a family member who pushes you beyond your limits. Words that were said cannot be taken back. Tonight: Get into weekend mode.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your playfulness emerges when dealing with a partner or a dear loved one. This person does a great job at creating a distraction.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might not take enough time to listen to what someone has to say. Refrain from minimizing this person’s importance. Tonight: Pick up the tab.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Lie low, and opt for a change of pace. You might want to follow your instincts with a financial matter. Tonight: Be a wild thing.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Zero in on your priorities.

You will succeed if you can let go of a strong reaction. Tonight: Make it an early bedtime.

Dear Annie: Money is a constant issue in our house. I need my wife to quit her part-time job at a superstore and find one with a better salary.

She knows this. But every time I bring it up, she gets angry and defensive and says that I am calling her lazy. I am totally not saying that. She’s a hard worker.

We have a total of $50 in savings. We also have a young son and hope to have another child.

I’d like to move into a house. To accomplish this, we need two fulltime salaries. How do I bring this up without making my wife angry?

I love her dearly. — Grand Rapids, Mich.
