WORLD WAR II VETERAN JAREK PIEKALKIEWICZ fought with the Polish resistance during the Warsaw Uprising of 1944 and was held as a prisoner of war in Germany until liberated by U.S. forces on April 1, 1945.

Piekalkiewicz, pictured on Wednesday, is a subject of a new book called “Needle in the Bone” by Kansas poet laureate Caryn Mirriam-Goldberg. The book explores stories of survival and a friendship between Piekalkiewicz and Holocaust survivor Lou Frydman, who is now deceased.

Kansan’s book chronicles drama of resistance fighter, Holocaust survivor finding each other

By Angelique McNaughton Special to the Journal-World

W

hen his captors caught him and three other prisoners stealing potatoes from the German army during World War II, Jaroslaw “Jarek” Piekalkiewicz was set to be executed.

He was lined up against a wall, catatonically anticipating the shot that would end his life, when a high-ranking officer drove up on the scene and narrowly prevented the execution.

“That was the closest I was to death,” 86-year-old Piekalkiewicz said with tears in his eyes, visibly shaken by memories of the incident.

“Well,” he shrugged. “Maybe not.”

The retired Kansas University political science professor said it’s hard to articulate his memories from the 10 years he spent in the Polish resistance army.

But similar experiences, and those of his close friend Lou Frydman, are detailed in a new 320-page book by Kansas poet laureate Caryn MirriamGoldberg. Frydman was a Polish Holocaust survivor of some of the most notorious concentration camps.

LAWRENCE AUTHOR AND POET LAUREATE OF KANSAS, Caryn MirriamGoldberg, center, has written a book about former Polish resistance fighter Jarek Piekalkiewicz, left, and Holocaust survivor Lou Frydman. MirriamGoldberg, Piekalkiewicz and Lou Frydman’s wife, Jane Frydman, will have a reading and a launch party for the book “Needle In the Bone” at 7 p.m. today at the Lawrence Jewish Community Center, 917 Highland Drive. Lou Frydman died in January. of both men before, during and after the war through their stories, historical research and the author’s own questions and perceptions.

Late last month, Potomac Books Inc. released “Needle in the Bone: How a Holocaust survivor and Polish Resistance Fighter Beat the Odds and Found Each Other.” A book

launch will take place at 7 p.m. today at the Lawrence Jewish Community Congregation.

“I knew Jarek and Lou for many years as part of the community and I knew bits and pieces of their story,” MirriamGoldberg said. “I felt like it was a wonderful story.”

Conventions on the Kaw may become a new marketing campaign in Lawrence.

Lawrence city commissioners are being asked to approve a deal that will transfer control of the Abe & Jake’s Landing building along the Kansas River to a group that wants to begin marketing the unique turn-of-the-century industrial building more for small-scale conventions and meetings.

“It is just a magical building,” said Mike Logan, a Lawrence nightclub operator who has formed a partnership with Lawrence businessman Doug Compton to take over the building.

“My goal is for it to be 100 percent an events Compton facility. We want to do everything we can to keep people coming to downtown Lawrence.”

The city of Lawrence actually owns the building that is sometimes called the Barbed Wire Building because it once housed a barbed wire manufacturing business.

Since 1999, Mike Elwell has controlled the building through a low-cost, longterm lease that was granted to him in exchange for investing about $2 million to refurbish what had become an eyesore.

At their Tuesday evening meeting, commissioners will be asked to transfer Elwell’s interest in the building over to a new group formed by Compton and Logan.

Construction work is set to begin in January on another Compton-led downtown project: a multistory Marriott extended-stay hotel at the southeast corner of Ninth and New Hampshire streets.

Mother enters plea, agrees to testify in husband’s case Couple accused of tying up children counts of child endangerment, and she agreed to testify in the upcoming trial of her husband, Aldolfo Gomez, 52.

Aldolfo Gomez is charged with two counts of child abuse and five counts of child endangerment and is scheduled for trial Jan. 7.

Prosecutors said at Fri-

day’s hearing that they will recommend Deborah Gomez be sentenced to one year of probation.

The maximum sentence for child endangerment, a misdemeanor, is a year in jail.

But she remains in custody and will not be sentenced until after her husband’s trial. Deborah

Gomez originally had been charged with the s a m e crimes as her husband, but Gomez after she testifies in his trial, the four other charges against her will be dismissed, according

to a plea agreement with prosecutors.

Douglas County District Judge Paula Martin — lifting a no-contact order — also opened the door for Deborah Gomez to have contact with her five children, ages 5, 7, 12, 13 and 15.

That decision, however, will be made by another judge in the custody case.

Kansas Senate could boost new president’s power

By John Hanna Associated Press

TOPEKA — Top Republicans in the Kansas Senate are considering a proposal to concentrate the power over committee assignments in the chamber’s president, and the idea has bipartisan support.

Incoming Majority Leader Terry Bruce of Hutchinson said Thursday that some fellow Republicans view the Senate’s current method of handling committee assignments as “somewhat clunky.” The chamber’s rules dictate that a ninemember, all-GOP panel makes the assignments.

The practice, in place in some form since the late 1950s, is a legacy of past Republican infighting and voters sometimes electing Democratic lieutenant governors to preside over a Republican-controlled Senate. In contrast, the House gives its speaker control over committee assignments.

Republicans kept large majorities in both chambers in this year’s elections, but Bruce’s fellow conservative Republicans ousted the Senate’s moderate GOP leaders, and he said he expects the chamber to set up a special group to thoroughly review its rules. Bruce and Senate President Susan Wagle, a conservative Wichita Republican, take over when lawmakers convene their 2013 session Jan. 14.

The Senate will have 12 new members who previously served in the House, and Bruce said the group generally sees the House’s custom as superior.

“There are some things that are awfully hard to govern by committee,” Bruce said. “Sometimes, the buck needs to stop with just one person.”

Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, a Topeka Democrat, favors abolishing the all-GOP appointing group, the Organization, Calendar and Rules Committee.

Hensley’s support is tied to another proposal Republicans are considering, to create a standing committee to arbitrate rules disputes, mimicking another long-standing practice in the House.

In the House, when rules questions occur during debate, its rules committee immediately huddles, and the chairman issues a decision, though it can be overturned by the chamber.

In the Senate, the member presiding over debate makes the ruling.

“I like the way the House operates because you have a bipartisan rules committee,” said Hensley, who served in the House before his election to the Senate in 1992. “Right now, the system we’ve got, it depends on who is in the chair.”

Bruce noted that Organization, Calendar and Rules Committee often follows recommendations on assignments from the Senate president, who leads the group.

Decades ago, Senate rules vested the power to make appointments with the lieutenant governor, who presided over the chamber. GOP senators accepted the practice when a Republican held the office and didn’t clash with them, but the 1950s saw internal GOP strife and in 1956, a Democrat was elected lieutenant governor.

The GOP majority in 1957 then formed a Committee on Committees to make assignments. A change in the state constitution in 1972 removed the lieutenant governor from presiding over the Senate, but a committee remained.

“We feel like it will give us banquet facility space we would not have in the hotel,” Compton said. “It is a beautiful building and has a beautiful setting. It really just continues our interest and commitment in downtown.”

Logan, who operates The Granada nightclub in downtown Lawrence, will be the day-to-day operator of the facility. He said the Abe and Jake’s space can accommodate about 720 people for a meeting or convention.

Elwell has been marketing the facility, which features expansive views of the river and 50-foothigh ceilings in spots, for use as a wedding reception venue for the past several years. Logan said that will continue to be a focus of the business, but he hopes to better market the facility for daytime and nonweekend use as well.

“I think this will allow us to offer a totally different kind of convention space. We think it will be an exciting opportunity.”

At the Granada, Logan serves as one of the larger concert promoters in downtown. He said he’s exploring some music uses for the facility, but said concerts won’t be the major use of the building. He said he’s particularly interested in seeing whether there are music or art events that could be held in the building in conjunction with downtown’s growing Final Fri-

About five years ago, Mirriam-Goldberg approached her friends, Piekalkiewicz and Frydman, about authoring a book that would feature parallel accounts of the men’s lives.

“It came out of my mouth, ‘Do you want me to write a book about your life,’ and they said yes,” Mirriam-Goldberg said.

Piekalkiewicz and Frydman, a retired KU associate professor of social welfare, met in Lawrence at KU in 1975 and became quick friends.

“I think that is what brought us together in many ways — that he was very Polish,” Piekalkiewicz said through a thick accent.

“We would compare notes about growing up.”

Four years younger than Piekalkiewicz, Frydman was born in 1930 and grew up in Central Poland. He faced the realities of being Jewish during World War II at an early age, entering his first concentration camp when he was barely a teenager. He and his brother, Abram, were the lone members of their family to leave Nazioccupied Poland alive.

“Lou had a great deal that he brings to anything,” Mirriam-Goldberg said of interviewing Frydman. “The darker the moments got, the more he made me laugh, and it was really kind of a gentle way

The 5- and 7-year-old were found bound outside the family’s van, while the other children were inside the vehicle, unbound. Testimony at prior hearings indicates the family was in Lawrence on its way from Illinois, heading to Arizona.

Angela Keck, Deborah Gomez’s court-appointed attorney, said her client decided to plead no contest and avoid trial because she did not want

to be led through such horrific material.”

Throughout the course of the war, Frydman survived six concentration camps, including Auschwitz and Budzyn, and three death marches. He died on Jan. 24, 2011, from prostate cancer.

Frydman mainly attributed his survival to “dumb luck,” his wife, Jane Frydman, said, and to the help he received from others.

“If you have experiences like me and Lou, you ask yourself, ‘Why was I saved?’” Piekalkiewicz said. “I think he thought he was saved to be of service to other people and that’s how he got in social welfare and fought for the rights of children. … He was a child himself when he went through that.”

Piekalkiewicz was a little older, 16, when he decided to start his own underground resistance army. Two of his family members were main leaders in the Polish resistance before they were discovered and executed.

At the age of 18, he comher children to have to testify. “ S h e wanted to make sure her kids didn’t have to go Adolfo Gomez through the trauma” of a trial, Keck said.

“I’m as excited as heck about the potential,” said Logan, who plans to keep the Abe & Jake’s name for the business.

As it is currently structured, the lease with the city has a series of automatic renewals that could allow Compton and Logan to control the property into 2087. The terms of the city’s lease with Elwell essentially gave Elwell the right to sell his interests in the lease to another party.

The lease with the city calls for the tenant of the building to pay $4,800 per year related to use of the city-owned parking garage that is adjacent to the building. The tenant also is responsible for all property taxes, insurance and utilities.

City commissioners will discuss the proposed lease transfer at their 6:35 p.m. meeting Tuesday at City Hall.

“I (figured) I could stay quiet and do nothing but that didn’t really mean they (Nazis) wouldn’t catch you or that your chance of being killed would be less,” he said matter-of-factly.

“The other choice was to fight against the Germans.”

He spent the decades following the war concentrating on his career, eventually settling in academia.

Frydman said she doesn’t think her husband’s story needed to be told any more than other survivors’ stories.

“He’s not any more or less important than anyone else who was involved in the Holocaust, but it certainly is an extraordinary story, even where the title of the book came from,” she said.

The title came from an experience Frydman had while at Budzyn. When a camp whistle blew in the middle of the night, Frydman had to jump down from his third-tier bunk onto a mattress below his, and he landed on something sharp — a needle — that penetrated his bone.

Unable to remove it at the time for fear of being shot, the needle remained in his foot, eventually healing itself into the skin.

“He died with that needle in his bone,“ said Frydman, who will be speaking at tonight’s book launch on behalf of her late husband. “It’s a dramatic title, and it’s a true story.”

Another arrested in alleged botched robbery

Local banker takes national position

Shopping for joy

By Ian Cummings icummings@ljworld.com

A 20-year-old Olathe man has been arrested, and a 21-year-old former Kansas University student is charged in what police say was a botched armed robbery early Thursday morning.

Lawrence police arrested Connor Mckenzie Mayhan on Friday on charges of robbery, burglary, kidnapping and assault, after he was treated at a hospital for a gunshot wound suffered during an incident that started a few minutes after midnight Thursday.

According to an account provided by Lawrence Police Sgt. Trent McKinley, two suspects tried to force their way into a home in the 1200 block of New Jersey Street.

At least one of them was wearing a ski mask and armed with a rifle. A resident at the home blocked the suspects from entering, and at some point in the incident one of the suspects received a gunshot wound to the arm. Because the wound required medical attention, the suspects called police and reported that they had been robbed at their home in the 800 block of Mississippi Street, McKinley said.

The gunshot wound was part of that story told to officers by Mayhan and Eftekhar. McKinley said officers sorted out the concocted story from the actual crime dur-

Unique development arrangement raises questions

By Dolph C. Simons Jr.

What started as a relatively simple, clear-cut scheme to develop a good â&#x20AC;&#x201D; actually, an excellent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; city recreation center has turned into a tangled, confusing and embarrassing mess.

Over the years, Lawrence residents have witnessed numerous conflicts over various development projects, but few, if any, match what is going on today with the recreation center effort.

What started with city officials trumpeting the plan as a means for the city to enhance its relationship with Kansas University now has expanded to include many other players.

In many ways, the city really is not calling many of the shots about how the project will be developed.

What started as a city-university program now has evolved

to include the KU Endowment Association, KU basketball coach Bill Self and his Assists Foundation and KU Athletic Director Sheahon Zenger as major players. City politics now are playing a role, with local developer-builder Thomas Fritzel emerging as the central player.

In fact, what started as a KUcity project now is a Fritzel-city project with the city, city commissioners and various planning officials caving in on many long-time city policies.

The Endowment Association has a contract to buy the land where the recreation center would be located and is committed to having the entire project built by Fritzel, who also will own the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s KU facilities and lease them back to the university. Having handled the land part of the deal, the Endowment Association has washed its hands of any consequences

or negative fallout from the deal it helped broker. It appears the university, Kansas Athletics and perhaps Self were used as a front or window dressing to generate enthusiasm and a belief that all aspects of the development would be above-board.

COMMENTARY Now, Kansas Athletics is into the project hook, line and sinker, the Endowment Association has OKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d a development arrangement it has never before granted, and some city officials are intent on jamming this project through in record time, probably hoping to get it all done before it becomes an issue in the next City Commission election.

Under the deal and zoning Fritzel is working out with the city, he will control the entire area except for the 20 acres that will be

owned by the city. Kansas Athletics will lease its facilities from Fritzel, and, apparently, when KU is not using the facilities, Fritzel will be able to use them for a variety of events and pocket proceeds from those events, such as tickets, concessions and possibly liquor sales. Endowment officials say they and Kansas Athletics would have to approve the events, and the city would have to issue a special use permit, but it still represents a huge financial opportunity for Fritzel.

This is just one example of how far and how fast the project has been allowed to develop without the city â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or the public â&#x20AC;&#x201D; knowing all the details of the plan.

Adequate parking and traffic flow in and out of the center and how this will affect neighbors are issues that remain to be addressed. How long is the lease Kansas Athletics will sign with

Fritzel? Who actually controls acreage not yet designated for specific uses? Will additional commercial development be permitted?

Some observers have said the only way to find out all the details is if and when someone files a legal action related to the project, which, in turn, would require many of the players to testify under oath.

If Kansas Athletics leases the facilities from Fritzel, who will own them, who, other than the university can use these facilities?

There are too many unanswered questions, too many strings or threads attached to the project that keep unraveling and revealing new information and details.

Lawrence deserves better oversight by city officials. This is a deal unlike anything in the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history.

As First National Bank of Lawrence was bought out by larger banking companies, Elmore rose through the ranks. Elmore currently is the executive vice president and head of community banking at Minneapolis-based U.S. Bancorp.

Q:

How many total interceptions did KU quarterback Dayne Crist have in the red zone this season? Is that a KU record?

A:

None of Cristâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nine interceptions this season was in the red zone, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re considering a red-zone interception as one that occurred when KU started its play inside or on the opponentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 20-yard line.

So, no, his red-zone interceptions this season were not a KU record.

abandoning talks with the White House and that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re standing firm against raising tax rates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to end the debate on rates,â&#x20AC;? said Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly what both parties are for. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re for extending the middleclass rates. We can debate the upper-end rates and what they are when we get into tax reform.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we end up with something like this Plan B,â&#x20AC;? said GOP lobbyist Hazen Marshall, a longtime former Senate aide. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They probably figure out something on the rates by the end of the year but on everything else negotiations just continue.â&#x20AC;?

House Republicans have yet to embrace the idea. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are literally dozens and dozens and dozens of members out there who have various ideas for how they could endgame this, or Plan B type scenarios, but none of that is under active discussion or consideration by the leadership,â&#x20AC;? said Boehner spokesman Kevin Smith.

White House spokesman Jay Carney said Obama was still pursuing a broader deal with Boehner that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t simply address the expiring tax rates, but also more revenue and spending reductions with a goal of reducing deficits. But he said that was out of reach if House Republicans re-

fused to let the top rates rise for wealthy earners. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is still their position, as they tell you when you ask them, that they want extension of the high-end Bush tax cuts. That is not going to happen,â&#x20AC;? Carney said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The president will not sign such legislation.â&#x20AC;?

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t underestimate the explosion that giving in to Obama could create in GOP ranks, however. Republicans have been adamantly opposed to raising marginal tax rates, even as they now say theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re willing to raise $800 billion or more in new tax revenues by closing loopholes and deductions. For months, the GOP mantra has been that raising tax rates will cost jobs, especially among businesses that would be affected. Some 94 percent of Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s businesses are structured so that profits go directly to partners or shareholders who report the income on their individual tax returns.

Moving to Plan B would also mean that one side in the Obama-Boehner talks would have to throw up their hands and leave the bargaining table. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Listen, we have never changed our posture. We remain willing, desirous of talking with the White House, of being specific with the president about how we address the spending problem,â&#x20AC;? said House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va.

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; In its first major regulation since the election, the Obama administration on Friday imposed a new air quality standard that reduces by 20 percent the maximum amount of soot released into the air from smokestacks, diesel trucks and other sources of pollution.

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa Jackson said the new standard will save thousands of lives each year and reduce the burden of illness in communities across the country, as people â&#x20AC;&#x153;benefit from the simple fact of being able to breathe cleaner air.â&#x20AC;?

As a mother of two sons who have battled asthma, Jackson said she was pleased that â&#x20AC;&#x153;more mothers like me will be able to rest a little easier knowing their children, and their childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children, will

Announcement of the new standard met a court deadline in a lawsuit by 11 states and public health groups. The new annual standard is 12 micrograms per cubic meter of air, down from the current 15 micrograms per cubic meter.

The new soot standard has been highly anticipated by environmental and business groups, who have battled over the extent to which it would protect public health or cause job losses. The EPA said its analysis shows the rule will have a net benefit ranging from about $3.6 billion to $9 billion a year.

COURT REPORT A 57-year-old Lawrence man was sentenced to a year on probation Thursday stemming from an October incident in which he threatened another man with a gun.

Christopher J. Gorman was arrested Oct. 26 after a man flagged down a patrol car and told officers that Gorman had threatened him with a gun during an argument. When officers knocked on Gormanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s door in the 1300 block of Kentucky Street, he answered it with a .357 magnum revolver in his hand and was arrested.

In November, Gorman pleaded guilty to one count of criminal threat, as well as possession of marijuana.

Gorman received credit for 47 days spent in jail, and

LAW ENFORCEMENT REPORT

Lawrence police responded about 11 p.m. Thursday to a report of robbery at Cheers Liquor, 1414 W. Sixth St. According to Lawrence Police Sgt. Trent McKinley, a suspect approached a clerk and demanded money, and the clerk complied. The call was originally classified as an armed robbery, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unclear if a weapon was used during the crime.

The suspect â&#x20AC;&#x201D; described as a black man in his 20s, approximately 5-foot-8 with a thin build â&#x20AC;&#x201D; fled on foot.

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A growing majority of Americans think global warming is occurring, that it will become a serious problem and that the U.S. government should do something about it, a new Associated Press-GfK poll finds.

Even most people who say they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trust scientists on the environment say temperatures are rising.

The poll found 4 out of every 5 Americans said climate change will be a serious problem for the United States if nothing is done about it. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up from 73 percent when the same question was asked in 2009.

And 57 percent of Americans say the U.S. government should do a great deal or quite a bit about the problem. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up from 52 percent in 2009.

Only 22 percent of those surveyed think little or nothing should be done, a figure that dropped from 25 percent.

Overall, 78 percent of those surveyed said they believe temperatures are rising, up from 75 percent three years earlier.

In general, U.S. belief in global warming, according to AP-GfK and other polls, has fluctuated over the years but has stayed between about 70 and 85 percent.

SEATTLE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Officials and pot advocates looking for any sign of whether the Obama administration will sue to block legal pot laws in Washington state and Colorado or stand idly by as they are implemented got one from the president himself.

But it did little to clear the air.

While they welcomed President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comments that catching pot users was a low priority for his administration, they said it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t answer a bigger question: Will federal prosecutors and drug agents also look the other way?

Pot advocates say they are leery since previous statements from the administration that it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go after individual medical marijuana users was followed by crackdowns on dispensaries and others who grew and sold the pot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s some signal of hope,â&#x20AC;? said Alison Holcomb, who led Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legalization drive, but added that it will take more than the president to clarify the issues around legal pot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We ultimately need a legislative resolution.â&#x20AC;?

In an interview with Barbara Walters that aired on ABC on Friday, Obama said that going after â&#x20AC;&#x153;recreational usersâ&#x20AC;? would not be a â&#x20AC;&#x153;top priorityâ&#x20AC;? in the two states, where voters legal-

ized pot use in November.

In his comments, the president didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t specifically address how the federal government would respond to state officials in Washington and Colorado, who are beginning work on regulations for commercial pot sales.

Under the laws, possession of up to an ounce of pot is legal for adults over 21.

The Justice Department has declined to say whether it would file a lawsuit to block the laws, but has said marijuana is still illegal under federal law.

Tom Angell of the group Marijuana Majority said Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comment didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t add anything new. He said the federal government rarely goes after users and the president can do more besides passing the responsibility to Congress.

Angell said Obama can use executive power to reclassify pot as a legal drug.

Federal prosecutors havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t targeted users in the 18 states and Washington, D.C. that allow people to use marijuana for medi-

cal reasons. However, federal agents have still cracked down on dozens of dispensaries in some of those states.

U.S. Rep. Suzan DelBene, D-Wash., said Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s statements werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t definitive but could be a sign that the federal government might be willing to work with the states to develop a new regulatory model for marijuana.

Legalization activists in Colorado were frustrated after they tried and failed to get the president to take a stand on the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marijuana measure during the presidential campaign in the battleground state. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the president, an admitted marijuana user in his youth, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s previously shown strong support for this, and then he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to touch it because it was such a close race,â&#x20AC;? said Joe Megyesy, a spokesman for a marijuana legalization group.

Megyesy said Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comments were â&#x20AC;&#x153;good news,â&#x20AC;? but left unanswered many questions about how pot regulation will work.

KANSAS CITY, KAN. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Kansas University Medical Center has been cited by the U.S. Department of Agriculture for the death of a goat and other deficiencies in its animal research area, two years after the center paid a fine and spent thousands of dollars to make improvements to the facilities.

A routine USDA animal and plant health inspection in January also cited the medical center for inadequate veterinary care, improper reporting and improper supervision of experimentation.

The USDA said the goat died of respiratory failure after a paralyzing drug may not have been sufficiently reversed before the goat recovered from anesthesia, The Kansas City Star reported.

Spokeswoman C.J. Janovy said the medical centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attending veterinarian thought the drugs had been administered properly and appealed the

citation. The appeal was denied, and the USDA has not contacted the medical center about further investigation, Janovy said.

Some citations are corrected quickly and do not require more investigation, said David Sacks, a USDA spokesman.

An Ohio-based animal rights group, Stop Animal Exploitation Now, asked the USDA to investigate the goatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death.

The USDA is conducting another investigation not connected to the January 2012 inspection. That investigation involves failure to provide adequate veterinary care and adequate oversight of the lab, federal officials told The Star.

Janovy said that probe â&#x20AC;&#x153;involves four relatively minor issues found during the May and August 2010 routine inspections of our facility.

The medical center was cited in 2010 for 160 violations for negligence that caused lab monkeys to die of dehydration.

Kan. Lottery executive director named TOPEKA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Gov. Sam Brownback has picked Secretary of Administration Dennis Taylor to be the new executive director of the Kansas Lottery.

The Republican governor announced the appointment Friday. Taylor will replace Dennis Wilson, who resigned Dec. 3 from the lottery for health reasons.

Taylor has served as administration secretary for

two years, overseeing state purchasing, upkeep of state office buildings and computer and phone services for state agencies. Brownback also put him in charge of a new office of state repealer, which sought to remove outdated and burdensome laws and regulations.

Brownback is expected to name an acting secretary of administration in the coming days.

CONNECTICUT SCHOOL SHOOTING

‘Evil visited this community today’ ————————

Gunman’s rampage leaves 28 dead, including himself, 20 children

locked their doors and ordered children to huddle in a corner or hide in closets as shots echoed through the building.

Authorities gave no details on exactly how the attack unfolded, but police radio traffic indicated the shooting lasted only a few minutes. State police Lt. Paul Vance said officers arrived instantaneously, immediately entered the school, searched it completely and found Lanza dead.

In addition to the 20 children, six adults were killed at the school; the principal was believed to be among the dead. A

woman who worked at Sandy Hook Elementary was wounded.

“Evil visited this community today and it’s too early to speak of recovery, but each parent, each sibling, each member of the family has to understand that Connecticut — we’re all in this together. We’ll do whatever we can to overcome this event,” Gov. Dannel Malloy said.

Robert Licata said his 6-year-old son was in class when the gunman burst in and shot the teacher. “That’s when my son grabbed a bunch of his friends and ran out the door,” he said. “He was very brave. He waited for his friends.”

He said the shooter didn’t utter a word.

Stephen Delgiadice said his 8-year-old daughter heard two big bangs.

Teachers told her to get in a corner, he said. “It’s alarming, especially in Newtown, Connecticut, which we always thought was the safest place in America,” he said. His daughter was uninjured.

On Friday night, hundreds of people packed a Newtown church and stood outside in a vigil for the victims. People held hands, lit candles and sang “Silent Night” at St. Rose of Lima church. Anthony Bloss, whose three daughters survived the shootings, said they are doing better than he is. “I’m numb. I’m completely numb,” he said at the vigil.

they would be greeted by an adult and given a visitor’s badge, and then go into the building,” Doll said.

The Lawrence school board will hold a special meeting Monday where members hope to finalize the list of projects that would be funded with the bond issue. They also hope to decide on a final amount they will ask voters to approve, which is

likely to be between $85 million and $100 million.

Still, Doll said, there is no guarantee that the security measures being planned could prevent tragedies such as Friday’s mass shooting in Connecticut.

“If a guy with a machine gun walks into the office and starts shooting people, that isn’t going to stop them,” he said.

NEWTOWN, CONN. — A man killed his mother at their home and then opened fire Friday inside an elementary school, massacring 26 people, including 20 children, as youngsters cowered in fear to the sound of gunshots reverberating through the building and screams echoing over the intercom.

The 20-year-old killer, carrying at least two handguns, committed suicide at the school, bringing the death toll to 28, authorities said.

The rampage, coming less than two weeks before Christmas, was the nation’s second-deadliest school shooting, exceeded only by the Virginia Tech massacre that claimed 33 lives in 2007.

“Our hearts are broken today,” a tearful President Barack Obama, struggling to maintain his composure, said at the White House. He called for “meaningful action” to prevent such shootings, saying, “As a country, we have been through this too many times.”

Police shed no light on the motive for the attack. The gunman, Adam Lanza, was believed to suffer from a personality disorder and lived with his mother, said a law enforcement official who was briefed on the investigation but was not autho-

rized to discuss it.

Panicked parents looking for their children raced to Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, a prosperous New England community of about 27,000 people 60 miles northeast of New York City. Police told youngsters at the kindergartenthrough-fourth-grade

school to close their eyes as they were led from the building so that they wouldn’t see the blood and broken glass.

Schoolchildren — some crying, others looking frightened — were escorted through a parking lot in a line, hands on each other’s shoulders.

Law enforcement of-

ficials speaking on condition of anonymity said that Lanza killed his mother, Nancy Lanza, then drove to the school in her car with at least three guns, including a high-powered rifle that he apparently left in the back of the vehicle, and shot up two classrooms around 9:30 a.m.

A custodian ran through the halls, warning of a gunman on the loose, and someone switched on the intercom, alerting people in the building to the attack — and perhaps saving many lives — by letting them hear the hysteria going on in the school office, a teacher said. Teachers

“We’ve got (crisis management plans), they’re in place and we train people on them every year,” Doll said. “The thing of it is: It doesn’t matter what you say, it’s impossible to say that we could have prevented anything like this.”

Doll said he did not want to discuss specifics of those

plans in the immediate aftermath of the Connecticut tragedy. But as an example, he said the district maintains an “intruder alert” system so all staff know what to do when an intruder comes into one of the schools.

Lawrence officials also are making plans to improve security, especially in elementary schools, as part a districtwide building improvement plan

that would be funded with a proposed bond issue.

Plans in several of the buildings call for redesigning entrances so visitors entering the building are immediately seen by office staff.

“The plan would be in most cases at our elementary schools, a visitor coming in after opening hours would enter and then go through the office where

As Syrian rebels close in, Assad has cards to play

By Elizabeth A. Kennedy Associated Press

BEIRUT — With rebels trying to penetrate Syria’s capital, Damascus, President Bashar Assad may appear to be heading for a last stand as his weakened regime crumbles around him.

But the Syrian leader is not necessarily on his way Assad out just yet.

He still has thousands of loyal troops and a monopoly on air power. A moribund diplomatic process has given him room to maneuver despite withering international condemnation. And the power of Islamic extremists among the rebels is dashing hopes that the West will help turn the tide of the civil war by sending heavy weapons to the opposition.

“The West, for all its rhetorical bombast, has

restricted the flow of important weapons,” said University of Oklahoma professor Joshua Landis, who runs an influential blog called Syria Comment. “They have not brought down this regime because they are frightened of the alternative.”

There is no appetite for intervening actively against Assad — as NATO did against Moammar Gadhafi in Libya — and run the risk of having him replaced by an Islamist regime hostile to the West. Those concerns have deepened after the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, and political turmoil in Egypt where a bid to promote an Islamist agenda threatens to tear the nation apart.

Also working in Syria’s favor is its alliance with Russia, which could be losing faith in Assad but will probably not abandon him.

Russia has been Syria’s key protector at the U.N. Security Council, where Moscow has used its veto pow-

er to shield Damascus from world sanctions. On Friday, Russia distanced itself from a statement by its Middle East envoy, who said a day earlier that Assad is losing control and the rebels may win.

During a reign of more than 40 years, the Assad family has built a powerful military and paramilitary force controlled by fellow members of their Alawite sect who are committed to maintaining the once-marginalized religious minority and its allies in power.

While the opposition is making significant gains, the forces propping up the regime are far from spent.

For many of them, defeat would mean not only the end of Assad but an existential threat by vengeful rebel forces.

Some observers believe the die-hard loyalists around Assad — a man who has vowed to live and die in Syria, despite the uprising — may not allow him to abandon ship, even if he wanted to.

Gas prices will soon drop to their lowest level of the year.

By Monday, the national average should fall below the $3.28 a gallon that drivers paid on Jan. 1, according to analysts. The drop is a gift for those hitting the road during what is expected to be the busiest Christmas travel season in six years.

Hosni Mubarak.

Both sides stepped up their campaigns after weeks of violence and harsh divisions that have turned Saturday’s vote into a fight over Egypt’s post-revolutionary identity. Highlighting the tension that may lie ahead, nearly 120,000 army soldiers will deploy to protect polling

stations. A radical Islamist group also said it will send its own members to defend the stations alongside the army and police.

The referendum pits Egypt’s newly empowered Islamists against liberals, many apolitical Christians and secular-leaning Muslims.

Holiday shoppers may see big discounts soon NEW YORK (AP) — If shoppers don’t show up in stores soon, more “70 percent off” sale signs will.

After a promising start to the holiday shopping season over the four-day Thanksgiving weekend, sales have slowed, according to an analysis of data done for The Associated Press by sales tracker ShopperTrak. Worries about weak U.S. job growth and other concerns are likely to blame for Americans spending less.

That puts pressure on J.C. Penney, Macy’s and other stores, which had been offering fewer discounts this season than they did last year, to step up promotions to lure shoppers like Ron Antonette from Long Beach, Calif.

Antonette so far has spent about half of what he planned to spend during this holiday season on gifts such as Legos, a Wii U game console and Apple’s iPad Mini tablet computer for his two young children.

Antonette stopped shopping after spending $1,000 over fears that Congress and the White House won’t

reach a budget deal by January. A stalemate would trigger tax increases and spending cuts known as the “fiscal cliff.”

“I basically stopped moving forward in buying,” said Antonette, 44, who runs a small public relations business and worries that he might not be able to take mortgage deductions on his house next year. “I feel like we’re in financial limbo.”

Antonette isn’t the only shopper who feels that way.

Major stores don’t discuss sales during the holiday shopping season, but WalMart CEO Mike Duke said during a speech in New York City on Tuesday that a recent poll of shoppers of the world’s largest retailer found that an overwhelming majority are aware of the threat of higher taxes.

And some said it would lead them to cut back their holiday buying, he said.

Overall, holiday sales are up 2.2 percent to $659 billion from Nov. 1 through last Saturday, according ShopperTrak, a Chicago-based firm that tracks spending at 40,000 stores across the country.

“

Today’s angry protesters demand a return to that norm. Except that it was not a norm but a historical anomaly.”

because the heyday of the sovereign private-sector union is gone. Globalization has made splendid isolation impossible.

The nostalgics look back to the immediate postwar years when the UAW was all-powerful, the auto companies were highly profitable and the world was flooded with American cars. In that Golden Age, the UAW won wages, benefits and protections that were the envy of the world.

Today’s angry protesters demand a return to

that norm. Except that it was not a norm but a historical anomaly. America, alone among the great industrial powers, emerged unscathed from World War II. Japan was a cinder, Germany rubble, and the allies — beginning with Britain and France — an exhausted shell of their former imperial selves.

For a generation, America had the run of the world.

Then the others recovered.

Soon global competition — from Volkswagen to Samsung — began to overtake American industry that was saddled with protected, inflated, relatively uncompetitive wages, benefits and work rules.

There’s a reason Detroit went bankrupt while the southern auto transplants did not. This is not to exonerate incompetent overpaid management that contributed to the fall. But clearly the wage, benefit and workrule gap between the unionized North and the

right-to-work South was a major factor.

President Obama railed against the Michigan legislation, calling right-towork “giving you the right to work for less money.”

Well, there is a principle at stake here: A free country should allow its workers to choose whether or not to join a union. Moreover, it is more than slightly ironic that Democrats, the fiercely pro-choice party, reserve free choice for aborting a fetus, while denying it for such matters as choosing your child’s school or joining a union.

Principle and hypocrisy aside, however, the president’s statement has some validity. Let’s be honest: Right-to-work laws do weaken unions.

And de-unionization can lead to lower wages.

But there is another factor at play: having a job in the first place. In right-towork states, the average wage is about 10 percent lower. But in right-to-work

states, unemployment also is about 10 percent lower.

Higher wages or lower unemployment? It is a wrenching choice. Although, you would think that liberals would be more inclined to spread the wealth — i.e., the jobs — around, preferring somewhat lower pay in order to leave fewer fellow workers mired in unemployment.

Think of the moral calculus. Lower wages cause an incremental decline in one’s well-being. No doubt. But for the unemployed, the decline is categorical, sometimes catastrophic — a loss not just of income but of independence and dignity.

Nor does protectionism offer escape from this dilemma. Shutting out China and the others deprives less well-off Americans of access to the kinds of goods once reserved for the upper classes: quality clothing, furnishings, electronics, durable goods — from the Taiwanese-

PUBLIC FORUM

School Scrooge To the editor: How would we think differently about Martin Luther King, Jr. Day if we changed the name to Civil Rights Day? I suspect we would eventually diminish the memory and greatness of him who did so much for our country. That is what happened, after all, when we renamed Washington and Lincoln’s birthdays “Presidents Day.” Something great about our heritage has been lost. For the most part elementary school classrooms and cafeterias no longer celebrate those men annually as they once did.

Likewise, the Lawrence public school district now calls Christmas parties “winter” parties.

That meaningless name diminishes the memory of the heritage we have as a nation so profoundly influenced by the Christian religion. It treats an important part of our history as if it were so unimportant that we don’t bother to teach it at school.

Since the Supreme Court has affirmed the legality of teaching about our religious heritage, it seems that the only reason we call them “winter” parties is some mistaken notion that referring to Christmas will “exclude” people of other religions. In fact, refusing to diminish our heritage will be “including” folks in all the wonderful history and traditions of America.

The goal of public schools should not be to advocate for one religion. Rather it should be to advocate for all we are as Americans.

That includes the importance of Christmas. Instead of behaving like Ebenezer Scrooge before he was visited by the ghosts, let us

manufactured smartphone to the affordable, highly functional Kia. Globalization taketh away. But it giveth more.

The net benefit of free trade has been known since, oh, 1817. (See David Ricardo and the Law of Comparative Advantage.) There is no easy parachute from reality.

Obama calls this a race to the bottom. No, it’s a race to a new equilibrium that tries to maintain employment levels, albeit at the price of some modest wage decline. It is a choice not to be despised.

I have great admiration for the dignity and protections trade unionism has brought to American workers. I have no great desire to see the privatesector unions defenestrated. (Like FDR, Fiorello La Guardia and George Meany, however, I don’t extend that sympathy to public-sector unions.)

But rigidity and nostalgia have a price. The industrial Midwest is littered with the resulting wreckage. Michigan most notably, where its formerly great metropolis of Detroit is reduced to boarded-up bankruptcy by its inability and unwillingness to adapt to global change.

It’s easy to understand why a state such as Michigan would seek to recover its competitiveness by emulating the success of neighboring Indiana. One can sympathize with those who pine for the union glory days, while at the same time welcoming the new realism that promises not an impossible restoration, but desperately needed — and doable — recalibration and recovery.

Jayhawks wary of mid-major Belmont

CITY BASKETBALL SHOWDOWN

Mos the man

Lions’ heart makes up for stature

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

In The Jungle, the anything-but-peaceful jungle, the Lions did anything but sleep Friday night in yet another closely contested, riveting city rivalry boys basketball game.

Lawrence High has neither the size nor the depth to scale back the effort for even a short stretch, so the Lions bring 32 minutes of aggressive effort. They know most of the rebounds near the rim will go the other way, so they make sure they get nearly all the ones near the floor.

Not once could a Lions player be found looking into the stands, drowning in selfpity, begging a parent to toss a life preserver of emotional support because a teammate didn’t pass him the ball or a referee didn’t give him a call. They don’t have time for that. They’re too mature.

Besides, they know the other four guys on the floor have their backs, so why seek to import vibes from outside the circle?

Just three players scored for the Lions in a 55-49 victory against cross-town rival Free State, in Lawrence High’s old-style, doubledeck gymnasium known as The Jungle. That lack of scoring balance might mislead those who saw only the box score and not the game into thinking this was not a team effort. On the contrary, everyone played his role.

Lawrence High’s point guard, Justin Roberts, filled his role by playing authoritative traffic cop, feeling so well where the ball should go and when it should get there and then delivering it on target, on time. Sometimes he felt the ball should stay in his hands to put pressure on the defense with relentless drives. That worked well too. On a basketball court the 5-foot-9 Roberts looks about as much like a freshman as actress Jane Seymour looks like a senior.

Freshmen play tentatively.

Roberts plays boldly. Freshmen retreat. Roberts attacks.

Freshmen shy from contact.

Roberts seeks it out and doesn’t whine when he gets hammered and the whistle never comes. All but one of Roberts’ 18 points came in the first and third quarters.

Senior Jake Mosiman, one cool customer with one hot hand, played his role to perfection as well. His role is to make the defense pay for giving him room to get

Those Kansas University basketball fans who fear match-ups against mid-majors might feel jittery entering tonight’s game against one of the best of the bunch — Belmont University.

“I’m telling you, they could beat us. If Belmont played in our league, they’d have success. They would,” said KU coach Bill Self.

His Jayhawks, who have won 59 consecutive nonconference games in Allen Fieldhouse, have lost just three non- MAJOR con home RESPECT games in 10 seasons — to What: Belmid-majors mont (7-2) R i c h m o n d , vs. Kansas Nevada and University Oral Rob- (7-1) erts. They’ve suffered just When: 6 p.m. four confer- today ence losses Where: Allen in that same Fieldhouse span. KU lost TV: ESPNU to mid-major (Knology caD a v i d s o n ble channels last season 35, 235) in Kansas City, VCU in 2010-11 in San Antonio and Northern Iowa in 2009-10 in Oklahoma City.

Before dismissing Self’s words of caution as “coachspeak,” take a look at a few reasons he and his (7-1) Jayhawks enter today’s 6 p.m., home game with a healthy dose of respect for the Bruins (7-2), who beat Stanford, 70-62, on Nov. 18.

O Ranked eighth in the latest mid-major Top 25, Belmont has hit 82 of 195 threepointers for 42.1 percent. KU conversely has made 43 of 137 threes for 31.4 percent.

Senior guard Ian Clark, who played in an 81-51 loss to KU on Dec. 29, 2009, in Allen, has cashed 38 of 68 threes for an unheard-of 55.9 percent. He averages 18.9 points a game, while senior guard Kerron Johnson averages 14.2, senior forward Trevor Novak 10.9 and junior forward Blake Jenkins 10.4.

“They can stretch it,” Self said of the team coached by Rick Byrd, who is in his 27th season at Belmont and ranks seventh among all active NCAA Div. I head coaches in career wins (644).

O KU and Belmont are the only two programs in the country to win 12 or more conference games each of the last 10 seasons.

O Belmont, formerly of the Atlantic Sun Conference, now of the Ohio Valley, has won 10 conference titles (five tourney, five regular season) since 2006, trailing only KU (12 titles) nationally over that span.

O Only Belmont, KU and Memphis have earned five or more automatic bids to the NCAAs in the last seven years.

O Kenpom.com has deemed the Nashville, Tenn., school the best opponent to visit Allen this season. The

Mosiman heats up, leads LHS boys past FSHS

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

According to City Showdown math, three is greater than nine.

Just three players — Jake Mosiman, Justin Roberts and Anthony Bonner — scored for Lawrence High’s boys basketball team Friday night against rival Free State. But the Firebirds’ balanced attack, with nine different scorers, didn’t hold up as Mosiman’s eight three-pointers carried Lawrence to a 55-49 home win in the raucous Jungle.

The LHS gymnasium exploded early in the first quarter, when senior guard Mosiman knocked down two

straight three-point bombs to put the Lions ahead 8-2 and he added to the hysteria as the night went on, hitting eight of 11 from behind the arc and finishing with 30 points.

After helping Lawrence (41) end its December schedule on a high note, Mosiman said he had never been that hot in a high school game.

LAWRENCE HIGH STUDENT ISAIAH “ZAY” BOLDRIDGE, who has been diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma, attended Friday’s game and was supported by players and fans of both teams.

Wiebe, Firebirds girls top Lions

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Something about playing in Lawrence High’s gymnasium suits Scout Wiebe well. Unfortunately for the Lions, she plays for Free State.

The Firebirds junior had a breakout game at LHS in last year’s regular-season finale and gave an even better encore performance Friday night, with 19 points and 10 rebounds that led to a 59-40 FSHS victory in the City Showdown.

Wiebe, then a sophomore known more for her grit, scored 12 points in her previous rivalry LAWRENCE HIGH’S BRIANNA game at Lawrence. She looked ANDERSON, LEFT, AND FREE far more polished this time STATE’S SCOUT WIEBE (22) VIE for around, at times helping Free possession during a 59-40 FSHS State (4-1) beat Lawrence’s victory on Friday at LHS. pressure and traps and on other

occasions showing off her great touch — Wiebe made seven of her 12 shots, including a threepointer late in the second quarter that put the Lions in a 26-16 hole entering halftime.

“It’s a great environment,” Wiebe said after FSHS won its seventh straight in the showdown series, “so I was pretty excited.”

Firebirds coach Bryan Duncan likes what he has seen from the 5-foot-8 junior forward, because she still does dirty work inside and dives on the floor for loose balls, too.

“Scout’s played well for us all year, to be honest,” Duncan said.

“Her motor’s always running.”

Big East schools to discuss plans The Associated Press

Officials from the seven schools planning to break off from the Big East will hold a conference call today to discuss leaving the league.

Big Eastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s members that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have FBS football programs have decided to split from the conference, a person familiar with the decision told the AP on Thursday.

No formal announcement has been made, and the group of schools, which includes George-

town, St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Villanova, was still working on how best to go their own way. They have yet to officially inform the Big East leadership of their intentions.

Big East Commissioner Mike Aresco isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expected to be involved in the conference call today.

The other non-football members of the Big East are DePaul, Marquette, Seton Hall and Providence.

The thick, white envelope arrives every year at this time, full of rules, names and numbers, but just one question. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a question heavier than history on this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s baseball Hall of Fame ballot.

Who is worthy?

The answer merits more than a check in the box on this Steroid Five ballot. It needs an explanation. Maybe even a defense. And a full admission of being uncomfortable with this ballot in hand, confusion in head and dismay in the heart.

But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not voting for them.

Not Barry Bonds, the home run king. Not Roger Clemens, arguably the greatest pitcher of the modern era. Not Rafael Palmeiro, Sammy Sosa, Mark McGwire (again). Not any of them. Not just yet, at least.

With time, with thought, with the ebb and flow of argument, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a better chance to see the era more than the player. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fair. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m open to the perspective of emotions softening.

But not now. Not yet. And when I break down the backand-forth of the hundreds of arguments on this, my decision comes to this: 1. Baseball rules outlawed steroids, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cheating.

2. Steroids donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just help performance but distort careers far beyond historical length and norms.

3. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tainted the game by making this eraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s numbers irrelevant compared to all others in baseball.

Then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the one line on every ballot for how voters should decide on who is worthy: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Voting shall be based on the playerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s record, playing ability, integrity, sportsmanship, character and contributions to the team on which the player played.â&#x20AC;?

Some voters say theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ignoring that now. And I get it.

Football has no such stipulation to voters and so the misdeeds of, say, Lawrence Taylor were never discussed when his name came up.

But if Cooperstown doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want â&#x20AC;&#x153;integrityâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;characterâ&#x20AC;? to be part of the vote, let them take it off the ballot.

Voters shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t decide that indiscriminately. Sports writers surely shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another issue in voting for the Steroid Five. Every Hall of Famer, from Andre Dawson to Barry Larkin, has been loudly against sharing the honor with steroid users.

Many voting brethren say they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to reward those who effectively hid their steroid use compared to those who got caught. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an understandable tact to take.

But who you are punishing in that line of thinking are the players whose numbers werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t inflated by steroids. Fred McGriff, for example. He finished with 493 home runs. There was never a whiff of controversy or suggestion he took steroids.

Anyone hitting 500 home runs historically has been a given for the Hall. Should McGriff be penalized for not taking steroids and getting to 500?

pected to compete in the conference next year, as well.

The Big East currently holds an automatic bid to the Bowl Championship Series, which is headed toward its final season in 2013. All the changes have caused speculation about whether the conference will retain that status next year.

BCS executive director Bill Hancock said in an email to the AP: â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is inappropriate to comment about a hypothetical matter. The Big East has an automatic berth by contract for next season.â&#x20AC;?

COMMENTARY

Hall ballot will need explaining

conference, there will be plenty of issues that need to be settled, including who owns the name Big East and how NCAA basketball tournament dollars and recent exit fees collected by the league will be distributed.

The Big East is still lined up to have a 12-team football conference next season with six new members joining, including Boise State and San Diego State for football only. Rutgers and Louisville, which have both announced their intentions to leave the Big East, are still ex-

SUNDAY â&#x20AC;˘ at Oakland, 3:25 p.m.

Royals reach minor-league deal with Nady KANSAS CITY, MO. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Xavier Nady and the Kansas City Royals have agreed to a minorleague contract.

The 34-year-old outfielder is a .270 career hitter with 101 home runs and 406 RBIs during 11 seasons in the majors. He has played for the Padres, Mets, Pirates, Yankees, Cubs, Diamondbacks, Nationals and Giants.

Nady spent last season with Washington and San Francisco, hitting a combined .184 with four homers and 13 RBIs in 152 at-bats. He played in 40 games with the Nationals and 19 for the World Series champion Giants.

His best season was 2008, when he batted .305 with 25 home runs and 97 RBIs for the Pirates and Yankees.

The Royals announced the move Friday.

BASEBALL

Tigers, Sanchez agree on deal DETROIT â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Detroit Tigers have made another major move to help their quest to win a World Series for the first time since 1984.

Right-handed pitcher Anibal Sanchez agreed to an $80 million, five-year contract with the Tigers, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press on Friday. The person, speaking on condition of anonymity because the agreement hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been finalized, said Sanchez is scheduled for a physical Monday.

Sanchez was a part of Detroitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four-man rotation that led the franchise to the World Series this year. He had a 1.77 earned-run average in 20 1/3 innings over three postseason starts, but was 1-2 because Detroit was shut out in each of his losses.

Yankees, Youkilis finalize pact NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kevin Youkilis and the Yankees have finalized their $12 million, one-year contract, giving New York a third baseman for the first half of next season while Alex Rodriguez recovers from hip surgery.

The deal with the three-time All-Star had been agreed to Tuesday, pending a physical, and the Yankees announced it Friday.

Youkilis joined Babe Ruth, Wade Boggs, Roger Clemens and Johnny Damon as Boston players who made the switch to the Bronx in the heated rivalry. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get an early look at his old club: The Red Sox are set to open at Yankee Stadium on April 1.

PRO HOCKEY

NHL files labor complaint NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Anticipating a possible antitrust suit, the NHL has brought its labor fight against hockey players to federal court.

The league on Friday filed a class action suit in U.S. District Court in New York, seeking to

establish that its now 90-day lockout is legal. In a separate move, the NHL filed an unfair labor practice charge with the National Labor Relations Board, claiming the playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; association has bargained in bad faith.

TENNIS

U.S. Open adds extra day The U.S. Open tennis tournament is moving the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final to Sunday and menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final to Monday in 2013, building in a day of rest ahead of each title match for the first time.

The U.S. Tennis Association, which runs the Grand Slam event played in New York, announced the changes Friday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but only for next year.

A decision about 2014 and beyond probably will come after the 2013 tournament, USTA spokesman Chris Widmaier said.

CONFERENCES

MAAC reveals expansion EDISON, N.J. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Quinnipiac and Monmouth have accepted invitations to join the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.

The MAAC made the announcement Friday and said the schools would join the conference for the 2013-14 academic year. Loyola, Md., is leaving the MAAC after this season, the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 32nd. With the departure of Loyola and the addition of Quinnipiac and Monmouth, the MAAC will have 11 members for 2013-14.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

La. Tech taps Skip Holtz RUSTON, LA. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Skip Holtz wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t without a head coaching job for long.

He was introduced as Louisiana Techâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new coach Friday, less than two weeks after he was fired by South Florida .

Holtz replaces Sonny Dykes, who left to accept the head coaching job at California last week. Louisiana Tech went 9-3 under Dykes this season, with a potent offense that averaged 51 points and 578 yards per game.

KU FOOTBALL

Three more commit

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Add another junior-college All-American to the list of Kansas University football commitments in the Class of 2013.

First-team NJCAA AllAmerican Kevin Short, a cornerback at Fort Scott Community College, joined the party on Friday by orally committing to KU. Short, 6-foot-2, 185 pounds, chose the Jayhawks over Arkansas, Houston, Louisiana Tech, LSU, Mississippi State and Syracuse.

The three-star prospect becomes the third cornerback — and fourth defensive back — in the 2013 class to commit to Kansas, joining juco standouts Isaiah Johnson, Dexter McDonald and Cassius Sendish.

Safeties coach Clint Bowen was the lead recruiter for Short, who hails from Florissant, Mo., and, this season, became Fort Scott’s career leader in interceptions with eight.

“Me and coach Bowen got to be real close,” Short told Jon Kirby of JayhawkSlant.com. “He always called me and stayed in touch. You could tell he cared and he will take care of me.”

Short will graduate from FSCC in May and report to KU this summer.

Short was not the only prospect to make a com-

Belmont CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

Bruins are ranked No. 23 in stat analyst Ken Pomeroy’s rankings, one slot ahead of Oklahoma State and two slots ahead of Kansas State.

“This is a good RPI game for us, without question,” Self said, aware the the Bruins have gone 30-5 and 27-8 in successive seasons. “They’ve got a great coach (Rick Byrd).

They’re kind of unique, in that, like a lot of schools that aren’t from BCS conferences, you can’t go out and get four big guys. So they play threes at the four and twos at the three.”

Belmont has no starter taller than 6-foot-7.

“So, that means they can stretch it from all spots and definitely create some potential match-up situations if we don’t guard them right,” Self said.

Belmont, which has defeated Stanford, Lipscomb (twice), Maryville, Alaska Anchorage, Oral Roberts and Middle Tennessee and lost to VCU and Northeastern, hit just four of 16 threes in Thursday’s 64-49 win over Middle Tennessee, which made three of 16.

“We know who they are,” KU senior Kevin Young said of the Nashville, Tenn., school with a school enrollment of 6,637.

“We know they can play.”

A key for KU lately has been the Jayhawks’ fullcourt man-to-man pressure defense.

“I think it might be tougher (to press).

They’ve got more shooters. We’ve got to get back to them as quickly as possible,” Young said.

Press or no press ... the Jayhawks must come out active, Self indicated. He was pleased with the effort in the last game — Saturday’s 90-54 home rout of Colorado.

“I think the biggest reason (KU played well) was energy level. I think the place was juiced and our guys fed off of that,” Self said. “I think they played like they were having fun.

I really believe that Travis (Releford) and Kevin keyed that whole thing from an energy standpoint.

They were really good.”

The energy level has not been up to par in some games, Self said.

“If you look at our per-

mitment Friday.

The Jayhawks also picked up pledges from two wide receivers. Garden City C.C. wide receiver Rodriguez Coleman, a 6-foot-3, 195-pound three-star prospect who had originally committed to Cincinnati, gave the nod to Kansas, and Friday night, JayhawkSlant.com reported that Holmdel, N.J., high school wide receiver Ishmael Hyman, a 6-foot, 169-pound three-star prospect, had chosen KU. Coleman, according to JayhawkSlant.com, had planned to make his way to Cincinnati after his two-year juco stint, which began at Fort Scott. However, a few weeks ago, Coleman reopened his recruitment and schools like KU, K-State and others started to call.

Bowen also was the lead recruiter for Coleman, who canceled a weekend visit to Kansas State and, despite recent interest from new Tennessee coach Butch Jones, formerly at Cincinnati, seems solid with the Jayhawks.

“Coach Bowen did an awesome job recruiting me,” Coleman told Kirby.

“He came in and got to know me well. I felt like he got to know me on a personal level and not just about footHyman ball.”

Wide receivers coach Rob Ianello was the lead recruiter for Hyman and the prep standout told Kirby that the recent flurry of commitments to KU inspired him to finalize his own.

Hyman was also considering Old Dominion and Purdue and said he plans to sign with Kansas in February and report to campus next summer.

Friday’s three additions bring the number of oral commitments in KU’s current class to 22 — 15 juco prospects and seven high school athletes.

Of those junior-college players, three — Coleman and Short, along with four-star defensive tackle Marquel Combs, who tapped KU earlier this week — began their college careers together at Fort Scott. The upcoming reunion was not lost on Combs, the leader of KU’s #DreamTeam2013 Twitter movement, who hit the social media site on Friday to celebrate the news.

“I got both of my dawgs with me at KU,” wrote Combs, referencing Short and Coleman. “Just like (the) Fort Scott days!”

sonalities of our team, really Kevin (Young) is the only one that has natural energy,” Self said. “The other guys are just out there. You lose Thomas (Robinson) who had that and you lose Tyshawn (Taylor) who had that. The (Morris) twins brought that and Sherron (Collins) brought that. We just don’t have those types of personalities that we’ve had in the past that are just natural guys that basically feed other guys’ emotion or energy.”

Young is looking forward to a repeat of the Colorado game from an energy standpoint.

“It starts with me bringing a lot of energy and hopefully we’ll have the same kind of intensity from the crowd and what they brought to it,” he said.

KU, by the way, plays another scary mid-major in Richmond at 6 p.m., Tuesday, in Allen. Richmond beat KU, 69-68, on Jan. 22, 2004, in Allen.

O Big man from UCLA on KU radar: Former UCLA center Josh Smith is considering transferring to KU, Georgetown or Washington, CBSsports. com reports. Smith, a 6-10, 305-pound McDonald’s All-American from Kent, Wash., recently left UCLA’s team a few games into his junior season. Smith, who averaged 10.9 points and 9.9 points in 2010-11 and ’11-12, averaged 5.2 points and 4.2 rebounds this season in limited duty. Smith, who has had problems with his weight and would likely be interested in Andrea Hudy’s KU program, would not be able to play until second semester next season.

AREA BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

FANS, TEAMS SUPPORT ‘ZAY’ It was impossible to look in any direction at Friday night’s city rivalry basketball game without seeing a sign of support for Lawrence High junior basketball player Isaiah “Zay” Boldridge, diagnosed recently with Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

Both coaches wore “Pray for Zay” T-shirts throughout the game and players from both teams

used the T-shirts in place of their warmups. In the stands, students wore purple shirts, the color of Hodgkin’s awareness.

Eight shirtless boys from LHS spelled out Pray4Zay. Boldridge, who had spent the previous nine days in the hospital, watched the game from behind the LHS bench and received standing ovations

from fans rooting for both sides when he walked onto center court and was announced to the crowd first during a timeout during the girls game and later at halftime of the boys game.

After LHS defeated Free State, 55-49, and students from the victorious side poured onto the court, Boldridge joined the celebration.

“Maybe in like threeon-three when I was 6 years old,” he joked.

The 6-foot shooting star made six three-pointers in the first half alone before quieting down briefly in the third quarter with two points. But Mosiman found himself open from downtown again in the opening minutes of the fourth, and both Roberts and Drake Hofer found him for two more threes, allowing LHS to take a 4641 lead — its biggest since the first quarter.

“The momentum of hitting shots like that really helped us a lot,” Mosiman said after making 11 of his 17 field-goal tries and scoring 10 of his team’s 15 fourth-quarter points.

“It’s unexplainable,” Mosiman said of how he felt every time he released the ball. “I’ve never

while.”

— Lawrence High coach Mike Lewis on senior standout Jake Mosiman (caught fire) like that.”

When he played like a mortal in the third quarter, hitting just one of his three shots, freshman point guard Roberts took over for the Lions.

He started looking for his own shot and scored nine of his 18 points. Roberts’ three-pointer on a pass from Bonner with a minute to go put Lawrence up 40-39 entering the fourth.

Free State (2-3) still had a shot in the fourth quarter after sophomore Weston Hack cut the deficit to 5147 with a free throw at the 1:13 mark. But after senior forward Cody Scott drew a charge on Roberts with 58 seconds left, Hofer stole the ball.

Roberts missed the front end of a one-andone and Scott grabbed one of his seven boards allowing the Firebirds to call a timeout. FSHS got the ball inside to Scott, but his short jumper was defended well by LHS junior forward Jacob Seratte in the paint and the rebound went out of bounds, giving the ball back to Lawrence.

Bonner hit all four of his free throws in the final 12 seconds to finish with seven points and assure LHS of a rivalry-game victory — its third straight.

Afterward, Lions coach Mike Lewis said his team overall had a balanced approach, but Mosiman, Roberts and Bonner carried the offense.

“Everybody else had something positive that they did, whether it was a box out or a rebound or making the extra pass,” Lewis said.

“It just happened to land in Jake’s lap quite a bit, which was a really good thing. He was on his own planet there for a while.”

LAWRENCE HIGH BASKETBALL PLAYER ISAIAH BOLDRIDGE, WHO HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH HODGKIN’S LYMPHOMA, SHAKES HANDS with Kansas University’s Ben McLemore, who attended the city basketball showdown with several teammates, on Friday at LHS. FSHS coach Chuck Law agreed, saying he hasn’t seen many performances like Mosiman’s. But he took the blame for not finding a way to cool off the man with the hot hand.

“They had a better game plan than we did,” Law said. “They attacked our 1-3-1 (zone) very effectively and I was stubborn, stayed in it too long. We probably should have come out and played man-to-man earlier.

We got out-coached and out-played.”

The Firebirds outscored their rivals 17-12 in the second quarter, when junior Khadre Lane had one of his two slam dunks and Scott jammed home another bucket. But they couldn’t build on their slim 29-27 halftime lead with the Lions playing so well.

Said Lane: “They got hot, especially Jake, he got really hot and couldn’t miss.”

Cole Moreano and Scott led Free State with 11 points each. Lane had 10

Lions coach Nick Wood said, if Wiebe hadn’t complimented senior guard Kennedy Kirkpatrick — 17 points, five rebounds, three steals — so well.

Senior A’Liyah Rogers scored six points for FSHS, Chelsea Casady had five and Millie Shade added four off the bench.

“You can’t just key on Kennedy and not worry about anybody else,” Wood said. “(Scout’s) tough. She can shoot it from outside, take it inside and do a lot of intangible things.”

with teammates and takes great pride in wearing “LIONS” across his chest.

Hofer didn’t score a point and took just one shot, yet without him the Lions would not have won the game.

Duncan commended Lawrence for battling in defeat and said the Lions gave Free State troubles at times against the press.

FSHS had 21 turnovers and really looked out of sorts in the first quarter, giving the ball away seven times.

The Lions appeared they might be primed to give their rivals a fight in the first eight minutes.

Junior forward Kionna Coleman, who finished with 17 points and nine boards, scored five firstquarter points, Anna Wright drained one of her two three-pointers, senior forward Bri Anderson hit a jumper and sophomore point guard Marissa Pope hit two free throws as Lawrence trailed 14-12 en-

tering the second quarter.

Said Coleman: “We were definitely giving it our all the first quarter, the first half, but we just got tired.”

LHS scored just four points (on 2-for-9 shooting) the rest of the first half — on a Kylie Seaman drive and a Coleman jumper. In the meantime, Kirkpatrick opened the second quarter on a personal 5-0 run and the Firebirds went 5-for-11, scoring 12 points and building their lead to 10 at the break.

The Lions’ shooting woes continued in the second half and they made just 13 of their 47 shots (28 percent) in the game.

At 6-4, junior Jacob Seratte didn’t score, but did throw a nice bounce pass late in the game to Mosiman for an assist. Seratte gave the team good minutes and his contributions will increase as his confidence rises. He’s not the most talented big man in the school, but he is the most talented one on the team, which is all that matters.

“I’m really proud of these guys,” LHS coach Mike Lewis said. “I look forward to coming to practice every day. It makes coaching high school basketball fun.”

Roberts, Mosiman and Bonner will do most of the team’s scoring. In fact, on this night the trio did all of the scoring. Lewis refers to the rest of the team as “the anchors.”

There will be nights the lack of size can’t be overcome, but not as many nights as most would guess by looking at the heights listed on the roster. They bring big effort.

off a shot, not that he needs much. Whenever it seemed as if Free State’s size was about to take control of the game, Mosiman clipped off another long one that settled softly into the net.

His eight three-pointers on the way to 30 points drew the biggest roars from The Jungle. What a beautiful jumper the kid has. He never rushes, always squares himself to the hoop, releases it at the apex of his jump and waves goodbye to the basketball with textbook follow-through.

Anthony Bonner attempted four free throws in the final minutes and made them all. Drake Hofer, a football player playing basketball, does everything he can to contribute from the center position, even though he’s a half-a-foot shorter than his prede-

points and six rebounds.

Reshawn Caro scored all five of his points in the third quarter and Kyle McFarland chipped in four points off the bench.

The balance didn’t matter much in the end, though. Law said he thought Free State’s height advantage would give LHS problems but that wasn’t the case.

“They beat our butts,” Law said. “Plain and simple.”

Does Santa Claus talk to God about who has been naughty or nice?

First, consider who God is to you The Rev. Peter A. Luckey, senior pastor, Plymouth Congregational Church, 925 Vt.: Once I gave my Dad coal for Christmas. Couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to see the expression on his face, while he tore through the wrapping paper and peered into a box of cold black anthracite.

I meant it as a joke.

There was a lot of kidding in our family, especially at Christmas time.

Dad was forever sounding The Threat: If you are bad, Santa will bring you coal.

I thought, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll beat Santa to it.â&#x20AC;?

We, my brothers and I, never took the threats seriously, nor did the dire predictions ever come to pass.

On Christmas morning, Dad opened that lifeless pile of carbon. And we laughed.

Unfortunately, the notion of a naughty or nice Santa (or God) is very real for many people. How many people grow up thinking there exists a deity who bestows or with-

holds presents based upon how they have behaved in the past year?

H o w many chilLuckey dren grow into adults unable to shake the feeling that they have not â&#x20AC;&#x153;measured upâ&#x20AC;??

The important question here is not whether God and Santa are in cahoots but rather who is God for you? Is God essentially one of judgment or mercy?

The scriptures teach us, â&#x20AC;&#x153;God is Loveâ&#x20AC;? (1 John 4:8).

This is what Christians celebrate this time of year; the receiving of this gift of a wondrous love come down to earth. The news came to a lowly Shepherd 2,000 years ago, and the world has never been the same.

God has a heart only for love. Darkness the world has plenty of. God would never think of giving it to us wrapped in a box.

God doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t condemn with lists

Ah, the nice and naughty list. What a wonderful tool for parents this time of year! A great deal of sibling squabbles, unfinished homework and general disobedience has been curbed by the promise (or threat!) of that ever-present list.

But I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say that Santaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s list and Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s are the same. For many of us, Christmas is the ultimate list-keeping venture. For God, keeping lists is a foreign concept. Look in the third chapter of the book of John from the Bible: â&#x20AC;&#x153;For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.â&#x20AC;?

Held up at every football game and memorized

by Sunday school children for generations, John 3:16 is often used to share the story of Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love through Jesus. But, it has also been used by some folks to keep a â&#x20AC;&#x153;nice and naughty list,â&#x20AC;? clarifying what belief must look like

and who does it right and who does it wrong.

But look at the next verse, John 3:17: â&#x20AC;&#x153;InSturtevant deed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.â&#x20AC;?

Spending time condemning people â&#x20AC;&#x201D; putting them on a â&#x20AC;&#x153;naughtyâ&#x20AC;? list â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is not what God is about. A graceless perfectionism that demands perfect belief or perfect action is the antithesis of what God seems to want for the world. God is not about keeping score or keeping lists. Of course, this Christmas, we could all do a little more to get on Santaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice list. But above all, we should remember the words of Philip Yancey: â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is nothing we can do to make God love us more.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Your Husband,” who wrote an open letter to his wife explaining how her unwillingness to have sex justified his affair. He was obviously pouring his heart out. I am a 54-year-old woman on hormone replacement.

My husband and I enjoy a wonderful sex life, but as I get older, I am less and less interested.

I love him and want to make him happy, so once a week I force myself to have sex. If you love someone, you try to understand their needs.

But I respect hard honesty. If he had told his wife how he felt before his affair, they might have reached a mutual agreement. Now, it’s a betrayal of the marriage. He made a decision for both of them without consulting her.

How would he feel if she did that? — Emotional in California

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

Dear Emotional: We were drowning in mail from readers responding to this man’s message, nearly all of it from women. Read on: From Illinois: This husband is an immature, selfish, spineless jerk. How can he claim he loves his wife and then commit adultery?

As long as she fulfills his need for sex, she is perfect, but when the sex stops, all those other things don’t count. He should have the decency to tell her that his need for sex outweighs his

love for her.

New York: I am the Other Woman. If his wife has no libido, why should he have to live that way, too? The kicker is that I am also married, and I love my husband. I wonder whether “Your Husband” really has no emotional attachment to the other woman, because I know I am attached to mine. Worse, I am not so turned on by my husband because I have such a strong physical connection with my boyfriend.

Chicago: This letter shocked me, and then I became enraged. Dear Husband: I’ll tell you why we don’t have sex anymore. I am exhausted after working a full day and then coming home and taking care of the kids. I see you watching TV and wonder how you don’t notice the dirty dishes, screaming kids and toys on the floor. I resent you for choosing

I can’t have sex with someone who treats me so poorly.

Florida: I don’t have libido issues. I am simply turned off. You have gained 80 pounds, perspire profusely and have bad breath. If you would spend less time playing with your girlfriend and work on your appeal, this would be different.

I do love you, so figure out which woman will be around to feed you and change your Depends when you have a ACROSS stroke.
