City looking at recycling expansion to include glass

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

It is now looking more likely that glass may be a part of a new citywide curbside recycling program under consideration by city officials.

Lawrence city commission-

ers on Tuesday will consider opening negotiations with Perry-based Hamm Companies to build a new multimillion dollar recycling processing center outside of North Lawrence. Hamm officials have said the center could be built to accommodate glass recycling.

And city commissioners are showing renewed interest in the idea of having glass be among the items accepted under a new curbside program.

“There is an awful lot of glass that is being thrown away right now,” City Commissioner Hugh Carter said. “If we could include

glass in a program, that would be ideal.”

In the past, City Commissioner Aron Cromwell, who chaired the city’s solid waste task force, had expressed concern about including glass as part of a curbside program. He had concerns glass would contaminate the

other recycling materials and cause more of the materials to ultimately go to a landfill.

But Cromwell on Friday said he’s seeing new information that leads him to believe glass can be feasibly incorporated Please see RECYCLING, page 2A

Sean Belden’s home-brewed hobby isn’t entirely legal.

Belden is vice president of the Lawrence Brewers Guild, a group of more than 100 members who make and sample homemade beer, and a judge in home brew beer competitions like the one hosted by the Kansas City Bier Meisters each year.

But under Kansas law, home-brewed beer can be made only for the use of the brewer and family members who live in the same residence.

“If I had some beer I made and drove it over to my brother-in-law’s house, I’m technically breaking the law,” said Belden, 43, of Lawrence.

Representatives from home brewing clubs throughout the state have gotten together to try to lobby the Legislature to loosen those restrictions. Manhattan’s Little Apple Brew Crew, the Greater Topeka Hall of Foamers, the Wichita Homebrewers Organization, the Lawrence Brewers Guild and the KC Bier Meisters, as well as the American Homebrewers Association, provided testimony last week in favor of a bill that LEGISLATURE would authorize the production and transportation of homemade fermented beverages.

Stephen Cook, the president of the KC Bier Meisters, spoke on behalf of all of the clubs at a hearing on the bill during the House Standing Committee on Federal and State Affairs on Friday.

“I was quite surprised to find out that what we’re doing in our beer club is illegal

by Kansas law,” Cook said. “Most of our club members are professional people and certainly all are law-abiding citizens, and we want nothing to do with breaking any laws.

This is a hobby.”

Wyldewood Cellars Winery, the Kansas Beer Wholesalers Association and the Kansas Department of Revenue Alcoholic Beverage Control provided testimony in opposition to HB 2223. The commercial beverage opponents had concerns with the way the bill was written.

Rebecca Rice, director of the Kansas Beer Wholesalers Association, said the language needed to be simplified. Dean Reynoldson, the director of the ABC, proposed an amendment to the bill that would not allow for a home brewer to receive compensation Please see BREWERS, page 2A

Public fund ban for lobbying proposed

Medicaid expansion costs debated Sheldon Weisgrau, director of the Health Reform Resource Project, said when trying to determine whether it is prudent to expand Medicaid under the federal Affordable Care Act, there is more to consider than only the impact on the state budget.

Expanding Medicaid will cost Kansas approximately $600 million over 10 years, according to an executive summary of a study released last week by the Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration.

But Weisgrau said any analysis of the issue should also include offsets in other parts of the budget; the effect of expansion on health care providers, such as hospitals that face growing costs in caring for the uninsured; and the value to people’s health in being covered.

Even though the federal government will pay the entire cost of the expansion for three years and no less than 90 percent in subsequent years, Brownback has said he is concerned that the federal government could renege on its funding commitment.

But several Republican governors who have been adamant opponents of the Affordable Care Act have agreed to the expansion.

Addressing the concern about future federal funding, Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer said Medicaid expansion there will include a “circuit-breaker that automatically rolls back enrollment if federal reimbursement rates decrease.�

A proposal that would prohibit public funds from being used to lobby the Legislature will be considered at 9:30 a.m. today before the Senate Ethics, Elections and Local Government Committee.

Senate Bill 109 also says that no public funds can be used to pay membership dues to an association that is engaged in lobbying the Legislature.

Conservative Republicans have sought similar legislation before, mostly because of resentment over lobbyists for schools testifying in support of more school funding.

Quote of the week: “I’m kind of like the spouse who receives flowers and immediately wonders what are they up to.

order to rob the Clutters.

In Capote’s 1964 book, which Capote long contended was “immaculately factual,� Alvin Dewey, the KBI detective who investigated the case, acted immediately on the tip, leading to the arrest and later conviction of Smith and Hickock.

In Capote’s book, Dewey gets much of the credit for an investiga-

into the program. “It does appear that there is technology available to better sort the glass without creating contamination,� Cromwell said. “That has helped me become a lot more comfortable with the idea.�

Mayor Bob Schumm last month said at a commission meeting that he hoped the city would seriously consider ways to include glass in the program.

Now, the question becomes how much it will cost residents to have glass as part of the program. New figures from vendors estimate that adding glass will add 25 cents to 70 cents per month to the recycling program’s cost, if the city operates the recycling program on an every-other-week basis. The city had once talked about a weekly service but as cost estimates have emerged, the focus has shifted to an every-otherweek service.

Overall, the city is now estimating the city would charge between $2.81 and $3.78 per month to run a biweekly citywide curbside recycling service that included glass.

The final price will be dependent upon what company the city chooses to do business with.

Waste Management, of Topeka, has offered the lowest price to recycle glass as part of a curbside program. It proposes

tive effort that involved law enforcement agents from Washington, D.C., to Nevada.

But the documents suggest that Dewey didn’t act immediately, and it took several days before KBI agents acted on the tip.

According to the Wall Street Journal, “The documents show that the agency waited five full days after Mr. Wells’ statement to visit the Hickock farm, the last known whereabouts of Richard Hickock. When the visit did occur, the documents show, it didn’t involve a lone agent venturing in the dark of night to the farm, and being served coffee. The documents show that four lawmen — three KBI agents and a local sheriff’s deputy — converged midday to use its existing Topeka plant and would use Waste Management crews to collect the recycling. It estimates it could provide the service for a price between $2.81 to $3.22 per month that would be added onto the trash bills of every residential customer in the city.

But a city committee is recommending the commission consider a bid from Hamm Companies, although its projected monthly price is higher at $3.39 to $3.78.

Hamm’s proposal would build a new recycling processing center near the Douglas County-Leavenworth County line at the intersection of U.S. 24-40 Highway and Kansas Highway 32. The center would employ 15 to 20 people, Hamm officials have said. Hamm also is proposing that city of Lawrence employees would be responsible for collecting the recycling, just as city crews do with the trash service.

Keeping more jobs based in Lawrence is important, commissioners said. “We have really high satisfaction ratings with our trash service, and that is what we want with our recycling service too,�

Carter said. “That’s why this can’t just be about selecting the lowest cost provider.�

If commissioners choose not to include glass in the program, a bid by Deffenbaugh Industries may come into play. Deffenbaugh, which has made a major push to become the recy-

on the farm.�

The case and Capote’s book have recently been thrust again into the spotlight for other reasons.

In December, the KBI exhumed the bodies of Hickock and Smith, who were executed in Kansas, in an effort to assist Florida authorities with an unsolved double murder that occurred just weeks after the Clutter killings.

In October, a Shawnee County judge blocked the sale of investigative records and photographs related to the Clutter murders. A temporary restraining order was issued to stop the sale until their legal ownership could be determined. — Reporter Shaun Hittle can be reached at 832-7173.

cling provider and already provides service to about 4,200 Lawrence residents, proposes to use its Kansas City recycling facility. It would use its own crews to collect the recycling. It proposes a price of $2.25 to $2.57 per month.

But Deffenbaugh’s recycling facility is unable to process glass, although Deffenbaugh has said it would work to bolster the city’s current glass recycling program that allows people to drop glass off at designated bins.

Cromwell helped start that system, which is run

by Ripple Glass, but he said the city has to consider a curbside option. “I really like what Ripple is doing, but if we can recycle three times as much glass through a curbside program, we have to look at that,� Cromwell said.

Some elements of the proposed citywide program haven’t changed.

The city still is proposing a mandatory pay but voluntary usage system.

That means all residential households will have a recycling fee added to their monthly trash bill, regardless of whether they use the system.

All recommendations also assume customers would be issued a 96-gallon plastic cart, which is a bit bigger than the city’s standard issue 65-gallon cart it uses for trash.

Commissioners will meet at 6:35 p.m. Tuesday at City Hall.

19 Kan. killers paroled in last 3 years WICHITA (AP) — In the last three years, 19 Kansas inmates serving life sentences for first-degree murder have been released from state custody after an average of 23.8 years behind bars, a newspaper found in a review of state Department of Corrections records.

The paroled killers were among 221 inmates with first-degree murder convictions who went before the Kansas Parole Board or the Prisoner Review Board from January 2010 through September 2012, The Wichita Eagle reported Sunday. Those numbers were culled from minutes of board meetings provided under a Kansas Open Records request.

The 19 ranged in age from 35 to 92 and were convicted of killing 21 people between 1979 and 1995. “It’s too many, that’s all I can say,� said Corinne Radke, co-founder of the Wichita chapter of Parents of Murdered Children. “My reaction is, just leave ‘em in there.�

Richard Ney, a Wichita attorney who has been representing defendants in first-degree murder cases for three decades, defended the release of the inmates. “It was not the will of Kansans that these people be locked up forever,� he said. “First-degree murder does have the possibility of parole after

Candidate Patrons turn the page on library building seeks more input from community

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

In the spring of 2012, Leslie Soden said yes, but she may not have known everything she was saying yes to.

She was sitting in a circle of members of the East Lawrence Neighborhood Association, and the question of who was going to be the Soden organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next president already had gone around the room once. After hearing another round of â&#x20AC;&#x153;noâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s,â&#x20AC;? Soden reluctantly agreed.

A few weeks later, plans for a new multistory hotel at Ninth and New Hampshire â&#x20AC;&#x201D; on property that abuts East Lawrence homes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was filed at City Hall. Suddenly, Soden found herself as the spokeswoman for a major neighborhood opposition group.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of an odd place for a self-described introvert who would just as soon shy away from public speaking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have never felt a need, even when I was little, to be famous,â&#x20AC;? Soden said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like to be listened to, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like to be in the spotlight.â&#x20AC;?

After months of opposition and negotiation, developers compromised on the height of the proposed hotel.

But revised plans werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only thing to come out of that project. Somewhere along the way, Soden realized she had quite a bit more to say.

BLEEDING KANSAS LECTURE SERIES

Election fraud older than state itself

By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

The stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest election official treated a packed room Sunday at Constitution Hall in Lecompton to some Kansas election history.

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach presented â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kansasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; First Territorial Elections and the Lecompton Constitutionâ&#x20AC;? as part of the 2013 Bleeding Kansas lecture series.

Kobach focused on some of the flagrant instances of voter fraud as Kansas was forming its identity and constitution in the 1850s.

He referenced the March 30, 1855, territorial election, which Kobach called the Please see SODEN, page 5A â&#x20AC;&#x153;most infamousâ&#x20AC;? example of

voter fraud in history.

Invading Missourians stormed the state, taking the Lawrence polling station by Kobach force. And in a state with only 2,900 eligible voters, the final voting tally surpassed 6,300. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now that is voter fraud,â&#x20AC;?

Kobach said.

Such instances of voter fraud continued throughout the next few years in the state, hijacking Kansasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; attempt to legitimize the electoral process, Kobach said.

The fight over the Lecompton Constitution â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which was eventually re-

jected â&#x20AC;&#x201D; also played a prominent role at the time. Created in 1857, the constitution protected slave-owner rights and intensified the abolitionist fight in Kansas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was the national issue of the day,â&#x20AC;? Kobach said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fascinating period of history.â&#x20AC;?

The Bleeding Kansas lecture series continues the next two Sundays at Constitution Hall. The lectures begin at 2 p.m.:

George Washington didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have Thomas Jeffersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to turn an iconic phrase or James Madisonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s penchant for coming up with profound concepts, Richard Norton Smith said Sunday.

All Washington gave us, he said, is our country as we know it today.

The nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first president did his best to adhere to the guidelines laid out by the young U.S. Constitution, Smith said, but his actions did as much to define how the presidency and the government would operate for centuries to come as that document did.

For instance, Washington took the constitutionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s call for the U.S. Senate to â&#x20AC;&#x153;advise and consentâ&#x20AC;? on his nominations and treaties to mean that he should ride over to ask senators for their thoughts before signing a treaty. And in 1789, he did just that with a proposed treaty, but the Senate would not stop what it was doing to accommodate him.

2 small breweries coming to county

M

y wife is always harping at me (we could just end the sentence right there) to consume more locally grown food.

Well, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just heard of a local garden that has piqued my interest.

Among its main crops are hops and barley, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not using them to make some earthy breakfast bar. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about growing local crops to produce beer.

Neil Hull, president of Flint Hills Brewery LLC, has purchased a former horse farm near the intersection of U.S. Highway 40 and Stull Road in western Douglas County.

Hull has begun the process of winning approval to locate a â&#x20AC;&#x153;nanobreweryâ&#x20AC;? on the property.

But the brewery will have a twist. It hopes to grow on-site most of the grains it needs to produce its brews. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to have a place where we can educate people about quality beer instead of just focusing on quantity of beer,â&#x20AC;?

Hull said.

Hull said a hops crop already has been planted, barley was grown last year, and of course, growing wheat isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much of a problem in Kansas. The property already has large amounts of blackberry and raspberry plants that can be incorporated into the beers.

The brewery plans to use the locally grown products to specialize in Belgian-style beer making.

Hull was in the Marines, worked for the Department of Defense and has traveled the world. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made several contacts in the Belgium brewing industry and has a host of recipes for Belgian beers. The brewery, though, also will produce some American ales, IPAs and other such brews.

It may be another one to two years before the brewery has everything in place to open.

Hull said he believes the business will eventually produce 1,000 to 2,000 barrels a year. Hull said plans call for a tasting room. But he said if all goes well he hopes to open a full-scale brew pub in west Lawrence in the future.

A HOUSE IS FOR RENT and for sale in Portland, Ore., in this Sept. 13, 2011, file photo. Experts say owning rental housing can pay off even as the market recovers.

If you buy a foreclosed home, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to factor in the cost of repairs to ready the home for rent. And if you have a mortgage on the property, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to be prepared to cover the costs for however long it takes to find a tenant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Real estate is a great investment if people are paying their rent,â&#x20AC;? Princis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not paying their rent, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a horrible investment.â&#x20AC;?

2. Buy in an area with a history of strong rental demand Neighborhoods near universities are a good option. For homes in residential areas, proximity to schools can be a good draw for families.

Condominiums and similar properties in communities with a homeownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; association can be a great option because the association arranges for upkeep on the property.

But check the fine print on your mortgage and homeownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; association rules to make sure turning your property into a rental isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forbidden.

3. Consider using a management firm Determine whether you want to select the tenant and handle property issues or hire a company to do it. If you take on the responsibility, you are

5. Screen tenants thoroughly Once your rental starts drawing inquiries, it pays off to screen prospective tenants by asking for previous landlord references and running a credit and a criminal records check.

Experts also recommend asking for a deposit equal to one monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rent, plus extra if the tenant has pets.

That will help cover any damage to the property and protect you if a tenant moves without paying rent.

Also, have a walkthrough of the unit with the tenant and ask that they sign off on the condition of the property before they move in. That will help avoid conflicts over the security deposit if there are damages once theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready to move out.

Q:

What is the rate of interest that the school district is required to pay on the leasepurchase payments for the renovated stadiums? How much have they paid in insurance so far for that loan?

According to information provided by the school district, the athletic facility renovation project was completed in two phases, with two separate lease-purchase contracts.

Phase 1, which was dated Jan. 1, 2009, was for $4.8 million at 4.98 percent annual interest. Phase 2, dated April 1, 2009, was for $4.25 million at 5.1 percent interest.

District spokeswoman Julie Boyle said there were no costs incurred by the district to guarantee lease payments, such as credit insurance or a surety guarantee.

The district maintains property insurance on all of its assets. Property insurance is purchased through a traditional bid process.

There are no extra insurance costs specific to the athletic facilities.

DOLE INSTITUTE DIRECTOR BILL LACY, LEFT, and Richard Norton Smith talk about George Washington during the first of a three-part series entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the Beginning: Three Men Who Made Americaâ&#x20AC;? on Sunday at the Dole Institute. The series continues Tuesday evening when Smith will discuss John Adams. where else on the globe was being emulated,â&#x20AC;?

Smith said.

He even went out of his way to make the switch smooth for his successor, John Adams, who will be another subject of Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talks. Smith will speak about Adams at 7:30 p.m.

Tuesday and about Jefferson at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 18, both at the Dole Institute, 2350 Petefish Drive.

Smith served as the instituteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first permanent director from 2001 to 2003, and he has returned several times for lectures on U.S. presidents.

He lives now in Arlington, Va., where he teaches at George Mason University and contributes to C-SPAN. Before his talk Sunday, he said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nearing completion of a 1,200page biography of former Vice President Nelson Rockefeller, in the works now for 13 years, that will be published in 2014 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the 50th anniversary of Rockefellerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s battle with Barry

Goldwater for the Republican Partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presidential nomination that split the party into conservative and moderate wings.

Smith said his visit reminded him that a decade ago, he and other leaders were scrambling to ensure that the building would open by Sen. Bob Doleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 80th birthday, July 22, 2003. (It did.) â&#x20AC;&#x153;Exactly 10 years ago right now, we were collectively tearing our hair out,â&#x20AC;? Smith said.

He said that since his departure, the institute has flourished under the leadership of Lacy and others, though he hopes that it can continue to develop and grow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think we could have imagined 10 or 11 years ago just what a niche this place could fill, or how much public involvement it could generate,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kansas University reporter Matt Erickson can be reached at 832-6388.

So he stormed out, saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be damned if I ever go there again,â&#x20AC;?

Smith said. He never did â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and neither did any future president for that purpose.

Rather than giving a lengthy lecture, Smith answered questions from current Dole Institute director Bill Lacy, pondering highlights of Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presidency and his legacy.

Those highlights included Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attempts to mediate between the opposing philosophies of Cabinet members Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson (whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be the subject of another Smith talk next week), his climbing on horseback in military regalia to tamp down a rebellion by farmers angry about a tax on whiskey, and his establishment of what we know now as â&#x20AC;&#x153;executive privilegeâ&#x20AC;? when he refused to give the House of Representatives documents related to a trip by Chief Justice John Jay to produce a treaty with England.

But perhaps the most significant and remarkable thing he did, Smith said, was to leave office.

Washington very well could have fashioned a new monarchy by grasping for more power and refusing to leave, Smith said, but he chose not to. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fact that he walked away at the end of his second term is an achievement that certainly no-

tive order. Ward said the Legislature â&#x20AC;&#x153;thoughtfully and purposefullyâ&#x20AC;? created the JJA as an autonomous organization and said the merger was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;knee-jerk reactionâ&#x20AC;? that would have to be undone in a few years.

Gooch, who was heavily involved in the creation of the JJA in the late 1990s, implored the committee to consider â&#x20AC;&#x153;fixing the roof instead of tearing the whole house down.â&#x20AC;? Ward and Gooch said the consolidation, which would eliminate the JJA as a distinct line item on the state budget, would cause further cuts to already bareboned initiatives.

Proponents argued the merger would generate administrative savings that could then be reinvested in juvenile programs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already moved over certain functions like IT support and accounting functions,â&#x20AC;?

Weigand said.

Two Brownback appointees, Ray Roberts, secretary of the Department of Corrections, and Terri Williams, interim commissioner of the JJA and former deputy secretary of community and field services in the Kansas Department of Corrections, testified before the House committee in support of the merger.

Williams assured lawmakers that no employees would be laid off as a re-

sult of the merger; anyone in a redundant position would be â&#x20AC;&#x153;repurposedâ&#x20AC;? rather than dismissed.

Some lawmakers expressed concern that the administrative merger would lead to an informal operational merger wherein correctional officers or even inmates may be transferred between juvenile and adult detention facilities. Raymond and Williams said such actions remain unlawful, but they offered little to assuage further concerns that the penal philosophy required in the Department of Corrections would overpower the rehabilitative mindset of the juvenile system. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fear, but Douglas County signed on to the Juvenile Detention Alternative Initiative, which may mitigate that threat here,â&#x20AC;? Weigand said.

The JDAI, a program developed by The Annie E. Casey Foundation to reduce secure confinement and stimulate juvenile justice reforms, was adopted

by Kansas two years ago.

Weigand said Douglas and four other counties are currently involved in the program.

Of the 54 juvenile offenders in the Douglas county JJA system, only five are currently detained in the Douglas County Juvenile Detention Center awaiting adjudication; the others are enrolled in community-based supervision.

Lawrence City Commission. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I still donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enjoy public speaking, but I think it is very important to voice your opinions,â&#x20AC;? Soden said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt like instead of waiting for somebody else to step up, I should step up.â&#x20AC;?

Soden now has been a part of City Hall debate enough that she says one of her campaign issues will be to make the City Hall process less confrontational. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to put one group of people on one side and another group of people on the other and have them duel it out in the middle,â&#x20AC;? Soden said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have felt like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had to do that before, and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like it. I want more of a big melting pot.â&#x20AC;?

Longtime independent Soden, 41, is founder and owner of Pet Minders, a Lawrence-based petcare business that watches other peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pets while they are away. Soden said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grown the company from scratch in 2006 to the point where it has about 350 clients currently. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I come from a family of small business owners and entrepreneurs,â&#x20AC;?

Soden said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t imagine not using creative problem solving and initiative as part of my daily life.â&#x20AC;?

Sodenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents divorced when she was young, and Soden said she grew up with her single mother in a relatively poor household in Topeka. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My mom found the only trailer park in the Shawnee Heights school district, and we lived there,â&#x20AC;? Soden said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were a very poor family.

I was a latchkey kid and all those stereotypes. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been independent for God knows how long.â&#x20AC;?

After graduating from Kansas State University, Soden lived in Phoenix, where her father was in the printing business, and later in San Francisco. But ultimately she wanted to come back to the Midwest.

She ended up working in the information technology field for Connex International and later for Lawrence-based Martin Logan, the high-end speaker manufacturer.

When that company had a change in ownership, Soden began to realize something else about herself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is where I started to realize that more money a lot of times means

LESLIE SODEN Address: 619 E. Eighth Street Age: 41 Profession: Owner of Pet Minders pet-care business Education: Undergraduate degrees in anthropology from Kansas State University and computer information systems from Friends University Family: Single more problems,â&#x20AC;? Soden said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was making more money than I ever had, but more stuff wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t making me happy.â&#x20AC;?

So, Soden booked a trip to Europe, struggled to find someone to watch her dog, made the journey, and then came home and started her pet-care business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My first business has been a success and, from what I hear, that is an accomplishment,â&#x20AC;?

Soden said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was dedicated and committed to it, and those are good characteristics to have in spades, if you are going to be an entrepreneur.â&#x20AC;?

Issues Soden, who loves to â&#x20AC;&#x153;ask questions and analyze things,â&#x20AC;? said she wants to run a campaign that talks about how residents can become more involved. Among the issues she plans to raise:

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think everyone is really starting to see that there is a lack of community decision-making at City Hall,â&#x20AC;? Soden said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We go through these processes of creating big plans, and the City Commission just comes along and overrules it too often.

I think that has a direct impact on citizen engagement.â&#x20AC;?

She wants to study ways to increase the amount of green energy produced in the city, perhaps by creating incentives for â&#x20AC;&#x153;green districtsâ&#x20AC;? in parts of the city.

She hopes to help create a vision for downtown Lawrence that capitalizes on its â&#x20AC;&#x153;historic small-town charm.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;To screw that up now when our history is finally being appreciated would be disappointing,â&#x20AC;? Soden said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do any development in downtown. It just means we have to be very mindful of the area surrounding it.â&#x20AC;?

A Feb. 26 primary will narrow the field of 11 city commission candidates down to six. The general election, where the top three vote winners will take a seat on the commission, will be April 2.

School board to get update on AVID program

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Lawrence school board will hear a progress update tonight on a program aimed at helping middleof-the-road students fulfill their hopes of succeeding in college.

The board meets at 7 p.m. today at the district office, 110 McDonald Drive.

In April last year, the board approved joining a national program called Advancement Via Individual Determination, or AVID. Offered as an elective course at both Lawrence and Free State high schools, it provides tutoring in advanced courses and other kinds of support for students who aspire for a college education but who have certain risk factors that

might prevent them from succeeding.

Leah Wisdom, who coordinates the program for the district, said the program targets students who are earning average to below-average grades.

Many of them, she said, would be the first generation in their families to attend college. Some are also from lower-income families or non-Englishspeaking backgrounds.

According to information on the AVID website, the program is currently used in more than 4,800 sites in the United States, Canada, Australia and in schools operated around the world by the U.S. Department of Defense.

In other business, the board will consider approving a request for about $26,000 to purchase

and field-test a new digital-only English language arts program from McGraw-Hill for K-5 students at Kennedy School.

For the past three years, Kennedy has had the lowest average scores on state reading assessments of the district’s 14 elementary schools. In 2012, only about 73 percent of its students scored at the “meets standards” level or higher.

According to state data, about 72 percent of the school’s students are economically disadvantaged.

Over the past two years, the school has seen declining reading scores overall, as well as a widening achievement gap for lower-income students.

From 2011 to 2012, according to the state’s Building Report Card, the number of third-grade

students overall at Kennedy who scored below the “meets standards” level grew to 29 percent from 25 percent. At the same time, the percentage of economically disadvantaged third graders scoring below standards in reading grew to 34.5 percent from 26.1 percent.

District officials say the school has tried several programs to improve student achievement, including resources provided through the federal government’s Reading First and Title I programs.

Those, however, have shown only limited success.

Officials are proposing to field test the McGrawHill digital program beginning in the winter 2013 semester through May 2015.

MARCUS MUMFORD OF MUMFORD & SONS PERFORMS a tribute to Levon Helm at the 55th annual Grammy Awards on Sunday in Los Angeles.

Mumford & Sons nab top album

By Chris Talbott Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Mumford & Sons wrapped up a completely unpredictable Grammy Awards with perhaps the most surprising win of the night, taking home album of the year for “Babel.”

It was an event that even shocked the London folk-rockers.

“We figured we weren’t going to win anything because The Black Keys have been sweeping up all day, rightfully so,” Marcus Mumford said.

Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys ended up the night’s top winner with four trophies, including producer of the year and three rock category victories with bandmate Patrick Carney. But it was hardly a clean sweep as The Recording Academy’s thousands of voters spread the love for the year’s top singles.

Northeast recovering from blizzard

By Bob Salsberg and David Klepper Associated Press

Bons temps rouler despite shooting NEW ORLEANS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Gunshots erupted in a crowd of bead-wearing, drink-carrying late-night revelers on Bourbon Street during the countdown to Mardi Gras, wounding four people and sending bystanders running and screaming. Hours later on Sunday, though, the same stretch was packed with partiers who said they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t letting the violence dampen their fun.

Police said in an email that a video taken by a witness Saturday night depicts an argument involving one of the shooting victims and the suspects. Two men are seen leaving the argument and returning with a third, then approaching the victim as at least one of the suspects begins shooting, according to police. Four shots are heard in rapid succession, followed by screams as some in the crowd stagger into one another and a nearby wall.

A man whom police identified as one of the suspects is shown walking through the crowd with his arm extended as the gunshots are heard, though itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to make out a weapon.

Police said Sunday that they were seeking the three men and that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve identified one suspect, but wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t release the name.

Fireworks fewer in polluted Beijing BEIJING (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The annual Lunar New Year fireworks barrage in Beijing was notably muted following government appeals to reduce the smoky celebrations after air pollution rose to near catastrophic levels over recent weeks.

The arrival of the Year of the Snake was also being celebrated in Vietnamese and Korean communities, and in North Koreaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital, Pyongyang, streams of residents offered flowers and bowed deeply before giant statues of national founder Kim Il Sung and his son and late leader Kim Jong Il. In Jakarta, Indonesia, where Chinese cultural observances had been suppressed before 1998, ethnic Chinese flocked to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest temple Sunday to pray for health and success.

Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital saw almost twice the number of smoggy days as usual in January, with levels of small particle air pollution going off the charts at times. That prompted calls for restraint, along with a reduction in the number of licensed fireworks sellers and the amount of fireworks on sale.

Setting off fireworks to celebrate renewal and ward off evil spirits is a traditional part of the celebration that marks Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most important family holiday.

Search for fugitive ex-cop stretches on

By Gillian Flaccus and Tami Abdollah Associated Press

IRVINE, CALIF. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Police blocked off a street and stood guard in front of a home in a typically quiet Southern California suburb Sunday, protecting a man they believe has been targeted by a fugitive expolice officer suspected of killing three people and setting the region on edge by eluding authorities in a sprawling manhunt that has lasted days.

Irvine residents, meanwhile, were left to adjust to life in the midst of a heavy police presence and wonder when things might return to normal.

Authorities have been working to protect dozens of families in the area considered targets based on Christopher Dornerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Facebook rant against those he held responsible for ending his career with the Los Angeles Police

Department five years ago.

Among those the 33-year-old Dorner is suspected of killing is a Riverside police officer, and on the fourth day of the manhunt, authorities put up a $1 million reward for information leading to his capture.

Several tips came in within a few hours after the award announcement, including a reported Dorner sighting that had police surrounding and evacuating a Loweâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Home Improvement store in LAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s San Fernando Valley, police spokesman Gus Villanueva said. A search of the store yielded no evidence that Dorner was there or had been there.

After days without resolution, Dornerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fugitive status caused concern among some and downright fear among others in Irvine, an upscale community that the FBI consistently ranks among the safest cities in the U.S.

APRIL PALMIERI DIGS OUT HER CAR in front of her home, background left, after a snow storm on Saturday in Bayville, N.Y. A howling storm across the Northeast left the New York-to-Boston corridor shrouded in 1 to 3 feet of snow, stranding motorists on highways overnight and piling up drifts so high that some homeowners couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get their doors open. More than 650,000 homes and businesses were left without electricity.

( ! '

NEWPORT, R.I. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Travel eased and life slowly returned to normal for most New Englanders after a massive blizzard, but many remained without power in cold and darkened homes and a forecast of rain brought a new worry: Weight piling up dangerously on roofs already burdened by heavy snow.

The storm that slammed into the region with up to 3 feet of snow was blamed for at least 15 deaths in the Northeast and Canada, and brought some of the highest accumulations ever recorded. Still, coastal areas were largely spared catastrophic damage despite being lashed by strong waves and hurricane-force wind gusts at the height of the storm.

Hundreds of people, their homes without heat or electricity, were forced to take refuge in emergency shelters set up in

culty breathing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The police, the fire department, the state, the Red Cross, the volunteers, it really worked well,â&#x20AC;? said the retired radio broadcaster and Army veteran.

Utility crews, some brought in from as far away as Georgia, Oklahoma and Quebec, raced to restore power to more than 220,000 customers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; down from 650,000 in eight states at the height of the storm. In hardesthit Massachusetts, where some 180,000 customers remained without power on Sunday, officials said some of the outages might linger until Tuesday.

Driving bans were lifted and flights resumed at major airports in the region that had closed during the storm, though many flights were still canceled Sunday.

The Boston-area public transportation system, which shut down on Friday afternoon, partially resumed subway service and some bus routes on Sunday.

Postal service Congress has only itself to blame for the financial problems now facing the U.S. Postal Service.

T

he announcement by the U.S. Postal Service that it will drop Saturday mail delivery starting in August was a complete surprise to most Americans, including Congress, which not only has mandated six-day delivery but also is responsible for most of the financial crisis facing the USPS. It remains to be seen whether Congress will allow the postal service to follow through on its plan and who might suffer the most if Saturday mail were discontinued.

Excuse us for a whine on behalf of the newspaper industry, but many newspapers depend upon the postal service to deliver their products, including Saturday papers that often carry high school sports news, obituaries and social items of importance to the communities they serve. If Saturday delivery is curtailed, it’s just another problem for an already troubled group of businesses. (Their problems, incidentally, include increasing competition in rates and services from the USPS itself.)

If the curtailment is allowed, it may cause issues for others who depend on Saturday service. The president of the National Association of Letter Carriers singled out the Postal Service itself, and “businesses, rural communities, the elderly, the disabled and others who depend on Saturday delivery for commerce and communication” as those who will be negatively impacted if lawmakers eventually authorize the change.

Postal service officials said the elimination of Saturday delivery is needed to cut costs, and said it will save about $2 billion a year when fully implemented. (Saturday post office box service will be retained, as will package delivery, and post offices that have been open on Saturdays will remain open on Saturdays, they said.)

The postal service’s major financial burden is a 2006 congressional mandate that ordered the post office set aside $5.5 billion a year to cover future medical costs for retirees. The service simply does not have the money. Of interest, perhaps: For whatever reason, no other federal government agency has any such requirement.

The cash-strapped agency says it has reduced its annual costs since 2006 by about $15 billion, slashed 193,000 people from its workforce and consolidated more than 200 mail-processing locations.

Perhaps it’s time for Congress either to support the USPS decision to discontinue Saturday delivery or to rescind the onerous requirement that it set aside funds for future contingencies. Push is coming to shove.

Muslim world faces demographic shift WASHINGTON — Something startling is happening in the Muslim world — and no, I don’t mean the Arab Spring or the growth of Islamic fundamentalism. According to a leading demographer, a “sea change” is producing a sharp decline in Muslim fertility rates and a “flight from marriage” among Arab women.

Nicholas Eberstadt, a scholar with the American Enterprise Institute, documented these findings in two recent papers. They tell a story that contradicts the usual picture of a continuing population explosion in Muslim lands. Population is indeed rising, but if current trends continue, the bulge won’t last long.

Eberstadt’s first paper was expressively titled “Fertility Decline in the Muslim World: A Veritable Sea-Change, Still Curiously Unnoticed.” Using data for 49 Muslim-majority countries and territories, he found that fertility rates declined an average of 41 percent between 1975-80 and 2005-10, compared with a 33 percent decline for the world as a whole.

Twenty-two Muslim countries and territories had fertility declines of 50 percent or more. The sharpest drops were in Iran, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Algeria, Bangladesh, Tunisia, Libya, Albania, Qatar and Kuwait, which all recorded declines of 60 percent or more over these three decades.

Fertility in Iran declined an astonishing 70 percent over the 30-year period,

“

Twenty-two Muslim countries and territories had fertility declines of 50 percent or more.” which Eberstadt says was “one of the most rapid and pronounced fertility declines ever recorded in human history.” By 2000, Iran’s fertility rate had fallen to two births per woman, below the level necessary to replace current population, according to Eberstadt and his co-author, Apoorva Shah.

A July 2012 Financial Times story placed the Iranian fertility rate even lower and cited a U.N. report warning that Iran’s population will begin to shrink in two decades and will decline by more than 50 percent by the end of the century if current trends continue.

Big cities in the Muslim world have seen especially sharp drops. Eberstadt notes that only six states in America have lower rates than Istanbul. In Tehran and Isfahan, fertility rates are lower than those of any state in America.

Eberstadt argues that the fertility decline isn’t just a result of rising incomes and economic development, though these certainly played a role. “Fertility decline over the past generation has been more rapid in the Arab states than virtually anywhere else on earth.”

The CIA’s World Factbook reports Muslim fertility rates slightly higher than Eberstadt’s estimates, but generally below those of many sub-Saharan African, Latin American and Asian countries.

Accompanying this fertility decline is what Eberstadt calls a “flight from marriage,” which he described in a paper presented last month in Doha, Qatar. His data show that in many areas of the world, men and women are getting married later or remaining unmarried. Divorce rates are also rising, especially in Europe, along with the percentage of extramarital births.

The decline of marriage in Europe is well-known but still striking: The female marriage rate fell in Germany from 0.98 to 0.59 from 1965 to 2000; it fell in France over that period from 0.99 to 0.61; in Sweden from 0.98 to 0.49; in Britain, from 1 to 0.54.

Marriage is also plummeting in Asia: In Japan, the percentage of women between 30 and 34 who have never married rose from 7.2 percent in 1970 to 26.6 percent in 2000; in Burma, it rose from 9.3 percent to 25.9 percent; in Thailand, from 8.1 percent to

16.1 percent; in South Korea, from 1.4 percent to 10.7 percent.

Marriage rates in the Arab world are higher, but they’re moving fast in the same direction. What’s “astonishing,” says Eberstadt in an email explaining his findings, is that in the Arab world, this move away from marriage “is by many measures already as far along as was Europe’s in the 1980s — and it is taking place at a vastly lower level of development than the corresponding flights in Europe and developed East Asia.”

“Something really big is under way — and practically no one has noticed it, even in the Arab world,” argues Eberstadt.

These studies are a reminder that the big demographic trends shaping the world are mysterious and often overlooked. The Arab world may be experiencing a youth bulge now, fueling popular uprisings in Tunisia, Egypt and elsewhere. But as Eberstadt notes, what’s ahead over the next generation will probably be declines in the number of workingage adults and rapidly aging populations.

The Arab countries are now struggling with what Eberstadt calls their “youthquake.” But the coming dilemma, he notes, is “how these societies will meet the needs of their graying populations on relatively low income levels.”

Fluoridation debate fueled by junk science

By Adrian L. Melott

We may have an emerging example of junk science driving public policy. I read that the Lawrence City Commission has (at the urging of outgoing commissioner Hugh Carter) directed City Auditor Michael Eglinski to prepare a report summarizing the latest scientific research on whether adding fluoride to drinking water is beneficial.

Why? Well, apparently two people Carter knows “argued fluoridation has a long list of potential side effects, including staining of the teeth, reduced intel- Melott ligence, cancer and thyroid disease.” This sounds terrible. It probably contaminates our precious bodily fluids as well.

Is any information available? Will an auditor (not a scientist) be reviewing the research and reporting on it? Would we ask our auto mechanic how to raise carrots?

So, already we see some typical junk science — news media effects. We see a story which makes people think that there is a controversy, so there is one.

The story contains no representation of the issues as seen by science — but even if it did, it would give a kind of false “fair and balanced” atmosphere to the story — as if it contained the arguments for a round Earth versus a flat Earth in a fair and balanced manner.

Fifteen seconds with a search engine turns up the results from the National Research Council.

These experts serve without pay to advise the federal government and the general public on scientific and technological issues that affect people’s lives.

The NRC has looked at fluoridation of drinking water many times since 1951, with the most recent review of research in 2006. Essentially, there is no evidence for any negative effects at the level of fluoride ADDED to drinking water (0.7 to 1.2 mg/L) in most towns, even in combination with that in toothpaste, etc.

There ARE negative effects from larger amounts of fluoride, which often occur naturally, com-

ing in from soil or bedrock. The NRC reports and those of the EPA contain warnings about these. Antifluoridation activists will typically quote these (the most common being tooth stains) without explaining that these are in reports about natural fluoride in water, which can be much, much greater. The NRC is clear, after a great deal of work by a dozen leading scientists looking at the work of thousands of others, that the small amounts added by municipalities are beneficial to teeth. According to the Lawrence city report for 2011, the fluoride levels in our water ranged from 0.2 to 0.97.

Fluoridation is endorsed by academies of dentists, pediatricians and others. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control lists water fluoridation as one of the “ten greatest public health achievements of the 20th century.” All the information of the consensus of science is available out there. So why are we spending public time and money on it? Why did we have a public debate about teaching children standard science, such as evolution? Why do we have a problem with trying to curb carbon emissions, which might help prevent Kansas from becoming a desert? Why do purposefully misinformed anti-vaccine activists get so much airtime? How many children die because their parents are afraid to get them vaccinated?

In order to clear these things up, we as a society need to fund research and then pay attention to the results. Science has been characterized as a way to keep you from fooling yourself, and that’s not a bad definition.

PUBLIC FORUM

Cost specifics To the editor: The City Commission authorizing an open bidding process for the recreation center is good news for Lawrence residents. A major remaining concern is the commission’s seemingly absolute commitment to spend $25 million whether we need to or not. According to the Jan. 31 Journal-World article, “The city will contribute an amount to the infrastructure that brings the city’s total contribution to the project to $25 million.”

In testimony before the commission, city staff said the planned recreation center budgeted amount for operating expenditures is insufficient. The two letters from the Kansas University Endowment Association to the city manager place significant costly demands on the city. The taxpayers need to know how these issues are being addressed and what it will cost us now and in the future.

The City Commission promised the recreation center would not increase our taxes. Before we spend all the bond money we should hold them to their promise as they make commitments.

The City Commission needs to present to the taxpayers, and hold hearings on, an understandable and specific budget outlining both short- and long-term costs; capital expenditures; promotional, operating and maintenance expenses, and income from all sources for the recreation center.

The income should ensure that our current and future city operating and capitol budgets will not be impacted, nor a need to raise taxes will result in the future based on constructing, operating and maintaining the recreation center.

The commission also owes us a contingency plan outlining bond reserves if our income projections fall short.

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

D-backs worth hype, hope Charlie Weis isn’t always on target in his projections for recruits. He twice thought he landed a whopper when he hauled Dayne Crist into the boat. Strikeouts didn’t make Reggie Jackson stop swinging for the fences, and they won’t make Charlie hold the hype.

Besides, Charlie’s overthrow on Crist doesn’t make his encouraging words about his newest recruits any less melodic to his audience.

We always want to believe that the next generation will be the greatest generation, especially in sports. And in the case of KU, it’s easy to believe an upgrade from 1-11 has been set in motion.

It was especially nice to hear Weis crow on signing day about the four juniorcollege defensive backs who signed letters of intent with Kansas.

“The secondary didn’t play great, but how many guys would you have played last year? I mean, would you have had any confidence in them going out there and playing?

We already talked about dime (package, six defensive backs),” Weis said. “That word was never even uttered last year. We were trying to get four out there. Yesterday, we talked about dime and we talked about quarter. Quarter is seven DBs.” Weis said he didn’t have a sixth defensive back in 2012 he trusted.

“You’ve got a linebacker covering a wide receiver, you’ve got a bad deal,” he said.

Not any longer, Weis is convinced.

“You talk about all those guys leaving from last year, well, you’ve got a bunch of really good football players coming in here who aren’t high school kids who are ready to rock ’n’ roll,” Weis said of the secondary.

The four men partially responsible for putting Weis in such a jolly signing-day mood: Isaiah Johnson, 6-foot-1, 207 pounds: He has three remaining years of eligibility and is coming off an eight-interception season.

He brings a thick build and was pursued aggressively by Missouri, Texas Tech and Wisconsin after committing to KU. Born to play safety and isn’t a receiver learning how to tackle.

Dexter McDonald, 6-2, 203: Back at KU after a side trip to Butler, McDonald brings size and speed.

Cassius Sendish, 6-2, 190: Another keeper.

“He’s a natural leader with big character and big intelligence,” Weis said. “Too many times in junior college, you get these guys stereotyped: ‘Well, they all went there because they couldn’t read and write.’ Trust me, with Cassius that’s not the case. He’s a very impressive young man.”

Kevin Short, 6-2, 185: Early last Tuesday, he reneged on his commitment to KU, but it only took Weis and assistant Clint Bowen 30 minutes to talk him out of attending New Mexico. Weis dubbed Bowen, “Five Alarm,” for putting out the fire.

The beauty of Weis’ heartfelt hype: It sells the program, which leads to bigger crowds, which circles back to upgraded recruiting.

ABOVE, KANSAS CENTER JEFF WITHEY HAS COME A LONG WAY from barely making it off the bench to tying Greg Ostertag for the Jayhawks’ all-time career shot-blocking record. IN PHOTO BELOW, WITHEY DOES WHAT HE DOES BEST, swatting a shot by Oklahoma’s Cameron Clark during a game Jan. 26 in Allen Fieldhouse.

Withey made late grandmother proud, proved to coach he belonged

By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

Grace had a secret.

At 90 years old, she wasn’t able to walk, spending most of her time in a wheelchair. She’d also check in with the hospital almost every week for a variety of ailments: recurring pneumonia, high blood pressure and diabetes, to name a few.

Grace hated the hospital.

More than anything, she hated the fact there was no ESPN and no way to watch the games that had made her want to fight through sickness to live another day.

So this would have to remain her secret for now.

Watching Jeffree play basketball was worth it. ½ ½ ½ Jeff Withey walked into the office and took a seat across from his coach, a jittery freshman with a lot on his mind.

“Do you want to stay here at KU or leave?” Kansas coach Bill Self asked him.

It was spring of 2010, and Withey had just completed a season during which he was at the bottom of the Jayhawks’ big-man rotation. In his first semester of eligibility, he’d

barely seen the floor, averaging just three minutes per game.

Worse, basketball had become routine, and Withey knew he wasn’t putting in the extra work needed to get better. Kansas was cold compared to his home in San Diego, and he missed the beach and hanging out with old friends.

During the last half of the 2008-09 season and the first half of the 200910 season — when he sat out because of transfer rules — Withey wasn’t able to travel with the team, and because of that, he drifted apart from teammates.

“I felt really alone,” Withey said later. “I just didn’t know if I wanted to keep on playing basketball or go back home.”

Self had texted Withey to set up the year-end meeting, and Withey had been nervous about it all day.

At a crossroads in his life — stick it out or go? — Withey was unsure how Self would respond when he told him he didn’t know what he wanted to do.

“If you were to stay here, I’m going to ride you. I’m going to make you work,” Self said. “Either you’re going to fall in love with the game again, or you’re going to quit and be a failure.”

The words stung Withey.

“Well,” he said, looking at his coach, “I’m not going to be a failure.” ½ ½ ½ Few could have blamed Withey — KU’s 7-foot senior

center — for wanting to give up on the game he once loved.

After growing more than five inches in one summer in San Diego, Withey sat down with his high school coach, Waheed Mitchell, and decided to give up volleyball to focus on basketball.

At the time, it wasn’t much of a sacrifice. Withey loved basketball.

As a sophomore, Withey led his Horizon High team into the state semifinals against San Joaquin Memorial, a team that featured current NBA 7-footers Brook and Robin Lopez and 6-6 wing Quincy Pondexter — currently a member of the Memphis Grizzlies.

With Horizon up one in the final seconds of double-overtime, Withey denied a pass to the post, then stepped up to block a shot at the buzzer to seal a 68-67 victory.

“It was definitely one of those moments,” Mitchell said, “like, ‘Yep, he has it.’”

After defeating Sacred Heart Cathedral to win the state championship, Mitchell saw an even more dedicated Withey in the next two seasons.

Allen debut awaits K-State coach

When: 8 But we’ve won tonight on the road, Where: Allen and we’re just Fieldhouse going to go after it and TV: ESPN see what hap- (Knology ch. pens,” Weber 33, 233)

Bruce Weber, who has coached in dozens of arenas in his 15 years as a head college basketball coach and 19 as an assistant, today experiences game day in Allen Fieldhouse for the first time.

“I’ll be honest. I’ve never been there. I’ve watched it on TV,” the 56-year-old firstyear Kansas State coach said of Kansas University’s hoops mecca, where his Big 12-leading Wildcats (19-4, 8-2) will meet second-place KU (19-4, 7-3) at 8 tonight. added.

The Wildcats, who fell to KU, 59-55, on Jan. 22 in Bramlage Coliseum in Weber’s first Sunflower Showdown, take a 5-1 road record (4-1 in Big 12) into tonight’s battle.

“I think every game’s different. They’re going to be fired up. They’re hurting (having lost three in a row). They’re going to play at a high level.

We’ve just got to go and play basketball the way we’ve played,” Weber said. “I’d like to say we can’t be intimidated, but that’s going to be a key thing — blocking out the crowd. I’ve said since the beginning, we depend on our

seniors. If they play well, we have a much better chance of winning.”

Senior Rodney McGruder, who scored 13 points off 4-of-12 shooting (3-of-9 from three) in the first KU-KSU meeting, continues to lead the Wildcats with a 15.0-points-agame average.

“I don’t like answering questions like that,” McGruder said, asked if he’s the most prepared he’s been to play a game in Allen. “Because it seems like people always try to amp that Kansas game up Please see SHOWDOWN, page 3B

Snedeker wins, finally, at Pebble PEBBLE BEACH, CALIF. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Brandt Snedeker didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to take a back seat to anyone at Pebble Beach.

A runner-up to Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson the last two weeks, Snedeker finished off a command performance Sunday with a 7-under 65 for a two-shot victory over Chris Kirk in the Pebble Beach National ProAm. Snedeker tapped in for par on Snedeker the 18th hole to finish at 19-under 267, setting the tournament record at Pebble Beach.

In five starts this year, Snedeker already has a win, two second-place finishes and a third. The win takes him to a career-best No. 4 in the world.

Kirk closed with a 64, though he never got closer than two shots. James Hahn, tied with Snedeker to start the final round, had a 68 and tied for third.

Mediate wins Champions debut BOCA RATON, FLA. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Rocco Mediate birdied the 18th hole and finished with a 1-under par 71 to win the Allianz Championship on Sunday.

He finished the tournament at 17-under 199 and became the 16th player to have a winning debut on the Champions Tour.

Mediateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four-foot birdie putt came after Tom Pernice Jr. missed a five-footer at No. 18 that could have forced a playoff.

Mediate started the day with a three-shot lead, lost it by the 14th hole, but regained it when Pernice bogeyed the par-4 17th from a greenside bunker. Mediate protected that lead with a birdie on the par-5 closing hole.

Pernice, who had a finalround 70, finished tied with Bernhard Langer (68) for second place.

TENNIS

Nadal loses in first final after injury VINA DEL MAR, CHILE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Rafael Nadal lost to Horacio Zeballos in three sets in the VTR Open final on Sunday, settling for a runner-up finish in his first tournament after being sidelined for seven months because of a left knee injury.

Nadal was an overwhelming favorite, shooting for his 37th singles title on clay. But Zeballos won 6-7 (2), 7-6 (6), 6-4 for his first singles title on any surface, looking every bit the equal of the seventime French Open champion.

It was only the fifth singles final that Nadal has lost on clay.

BASEBALL

The 32-year-old has won 50 major-league games since signing a $52 million, six-year contract with Boston as free agent in 2007. Dice-K is reuniting with Terry Francona, his manager for most of his time with the Red Sox.

K-State vs. Kansas

Showdown CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

more than any other game. It’s just any other game, and I feel like we’re prepared.

“We were prepared today (in Saturday’s 79-70 home victory over Iowa State), so we’re going to be prepared on Monday.”

KU has won six straight and 17 of the last 18 over KSU in Allen.

“First of all, just tell the younger players we have to treat it like any other game,” McGruder said of advice he’ll give the underclassmen. “You can’t say, ‘Oh, man, we’ve got Kansas,’ and get wrapped up into the rivalry and things like that. We have to treat it just like Iowa State, Oklahoma State, anything like that, and just tell them the atmosphere is different than any other place. Not try to scare them, because you tell them too many things they might get afraid. Just to keep them mentally ready and prepared to go in there and compete.”

The Jayhawks have lost three in a row for the first time since the 2004-05 season. KU last lost four in a row overall in 198889 and hasn’t dropped consecutive home games since that ’88-89 season.

“If they win and have a two-game lead, that would put us behind the 8-ball,” KU coach Bill Self said.

“It’s a big game for us from a conference standpoint. We’ve been behind a game in the league race going into the last seven, eight games of a season before.

“I wish we had a couple days to prepare. They probably wish they had a couple days to prepare, also. I think the crowd will do a great job getting us jacked back up. Big Monday always helps. Playing a rival always helps. I think we’ll play with great energy Monday.”

As to how the Jayhawks might snap their

“

Everyone can analyze this to death, but the truth is we have probably the 4th or 5th most talented team in our league.

Tulsa upends Kansas tennis, 5-2 J-W Staff Reports

With its top singles player sidelined because of an undisclosed injury, Kansas University’s tennis team suffered a 5-2 loss to No. 23 Tulsa on Sunday at Jayhawk Tennis Center.

Junior transfer Haley Fournier was injured, so the rest of KU’s singles lineup shifted up one position, with freshman Anastasija Trubica seeing her first dual singles action at the No. 6 spot.

“We were really impressed with (Trubica’s) performance in doubles and with her pulling out her singles,” Kansas coach Amy Hall-Holt said. “It’s the third match of the

year. Yes, we had opportunities, and we didn’t step up to those opportunities, but I feel that the girls are definitely learning and getting better each day.”

Tulsa swept the Jayhawks in doubles play before taking the No. 1 and 2 singles matches in straight sets to build a quick 3-0 lead.

KU’s victories came at No. 4 singles, where Dylan Windom outlasted Maria Sant’Anna, 7-6, 0-6, 7-5, and at No. 6, where Trubica swept Carol Benito, 7-5, 6-2.

KU will travel to Charleston, S.C., where it will face Charleston Southern on Friday and College of Charleston on Saturday.

KANSAS BASKETBALL

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

Withey CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

Before every home game his senior year, Withey — who knew he needed to bulk up his skinny frame before college — would go through a half-hour of intense weight-lifting before coming into the gym to play the game.

Withey briefly committed to Louisville, then Withey’s grandfather David Withey died, and his grandmother Grace moved into his parents’ home because of health issues.

Jeff Withey re-evaluated the decision to play so far from San Diego, eventually reopening his recruitment before committing to coach Lute Olson at Arizona.

His time there was a disaster from the beginning.

On one October day early in his freshman year, Withey learned from ESPN that Olson had abruptly decided to retire; the hall of fame coach never contacted Withey about his decision.

A new staff took over, and suddenly Withey was getting screamed at by coaches with whom he didn’t feel comfortable.

The freshman left the basketball team and decided to transfer, but Arizona refused to give him his release.

Withey began to hate the game that had put him in his situation.

As he walked to class, students would come up and lecture him about how he was doing the school wrong. One of his Facebook status updates, “whats a man to do????” showed up in an editorial in the Arizona school newspaper.

“I was just like, ‘This isn’t what I wanted at all,’” Withey said. “‘I didn’t sign up for any of this.’”

With no other options, Withey took a hard stance with Arizona.

Give me my release, he says he told the school, or I’m going to fail all my classes. If that happened, UA could potentially have lost a scholarship based on APR guidelines.

Arizona eventually granted Withey his release.

Self received a cellphone call from Withey on Christmas Eve morning in 2008. The center was ready to become a Jayhawk. ½ ½ ½ After sitting out two semesters because of transfer rules, Withey couldn’t wait for the Jayhawks’ Dec. 19, 2009, home contest — the first one he was eligible to play.

“There’s no way I’m not getting into this game,” he told himself.

He was wrong. Withey didn’t get off the bench in KU’s 75-64 victory over Michigan.

Afterward, he called his parents, angry and confused.

“I don’t know what the deal is,” he said. “I don’t know what’s going on.”

It was his worst day at Kansas.

“Looking back at it,” Withey said, “it was really selfish of myself just to have that mind-set.”

Withey rarely made it in past garbage time his freshman year, averaging 1.3 points and 1.4 rebounds in 15 games.

After his postseason meeting in Self’s office, though, something shifted. He rededicated himself to the game, working harder in the weight room and gym than he had before. His parents also moved to Kansas, which cured most of his homesickness.

Though he was still behind Marcus and Markieff Morris and Thomas Robinson in the rotation the following year, Withey was determined to prove to Self — and to himself — that he belonged at KU and was good enough to play.

“Those words stuck with me. Even now — today — I still think about

house while his teammates watched.

“He challenged me as a man, got me pissed off,” Withey said. “I just wanted to show him that there’s no mistake. I deserve to be a starter, and I deserve to play.”

The next game, Withey scored a career-high 25 points on 8-for-10 shooting in a 68-54 victory at No. 6 Baylor. He scored 18 points in the next two games after not scoring more than 15 in any other game that season.

“The next thing you know, he realizes he is good,” Self said. “From that point forward, he was terrific.”

Withey went on to have one of the best defensive postseasons in NCAA history, blocking an NCAA Tournament-record 31 shots in KU’s run to the national championship game.

He’s set to break the school blocks record with one block tonight against Kansas State — Self calls him the best shot-blocker he has ever coached and the most pleasant surprise of any player he has had at KU — and has even gained enough fame that people who haven’t seen him in years are calling him up just to tell them they saw him on ESPN’s “SportsCenter” the night before.

Withey, who graduated in December with a degree in American studies and a minor in education, admits that basketball now is almost always on his mind.

He thinks of how he can get better, how he can beat his opponent and about how he can improve from his previous game.

Sometimes, he forces himself to play video games just to get a break from basketball.

“I want to be the best in the game,” Withey said.

“Hopefully, that.”

Adult stepson disrespectful, won’t follow house rules Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

refuses to get a job and expects his father to pay for everything.

Annie, this is causing a huge strain on our marriage and is affecting my health. I have tried talking to Joe, but he says, “I can’t throw my son out to live on the street.” I don’t know how much longer I can tolerate this rude young adult man who refuses to follow our house rules. Any suggestions?

Dogs, snakes, comedy and science A companion of sorts to “Top Gear” (8 p.m., BBC America), the popular British series “Bang Goes the Theory” (9:20 p.m., BBC America) shows off some cutting-edge thinking and technology in a fashion that should appeal to fans of “MythBusters.”

This marks the American debut of “Bang.”

Host Dallas Campbell, biochemist Liz Bonnin, engineer Jem Stansfield and evolutionary biologist Yan Wong take on projects of a practical and wildly experimental nature. A visionary cure for jet lag gives way to an attempt to fashion a square-wheeled skateboard into a motorbike, followed by an attempt to blow over a brick house with something called a vortex cannon.

“The 137th Westminster Kennel Club Show” (7 p.m., CNBC) returns. Tonight’s competition includes four canine groupings: hound, toy, nonsporting and herding. Westminster concludes Tuesday with the sporting, working and terrier groups and the announcement of best in show. The conclusion will be broadcast on the USA network at 8 p.m.

“Bizarre Foods America” (8 p.m., Travel) returns for a new season with host Andrew Zimmern sampling some grossout gastronomy in and around our nation’s capital. First up: a meal of snakes fished out of the Potomac River. Can Baltimore muskrat be far behind?

Comedian and prolific television director David Steinberg hosts a second season of “Inside Comedy” (10 p.m., Showtime), a series of friendly interviews with some of the biggest and most respected names in the business, including Jim Carrey, Louis C.K., Susie Essman, Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, Bill Maher, Mike Myers, Bob Newhart and Ben Stiller.

Tonight’s other highlights

Brennan might be killed off on a very sweeps episode of “Bones” (7 p.m., Fox).

Noah and Travis tangle on “Switched at Birth” (7 p.m., ABC Family).

Kiera risks tampering with time to save her own grandmother on “Continuum” (7 p.m., Syfy,).

A newcomer schemes to eliminate Hardy on “The Following” (8 p.m., Fox).

Plans for the new amphitheater come under attack on “Bunheads” (8 p.m., ABC Family).

McGarrett has his mother followed on “Hawaii Five-0” (9 p.m., CBS).

Mia can’t handle the truth on “Deception” (9 p.m., NBC).

Murder cameos on a trashy reality show on “Castle” (9 p.m., ABC).

However, now the older son and daughter are living with us.

Joe’s daughter has stolen my daughter’s clothes and personal belongings.

She denies it, and Joe believes her, even though it was obvious that she went through my daughter’s things while we were out of the house.

His son is married with a toddler and twins on the way. He cannot keep a job, does drugs and was evicted from their apartment. His family moved in with us three months ago. His wife is due any day.

SCOREBOARD

COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

Duke barely survives tough week for top 5 The Associated Press

Top 25 Men No. 4 Duke 62, Boston College 61 BOSTON — Mason Plumlee had 19 points and 10 rebounds, hitting the gamewinning free throw with 26 seconds left to help Duke rally from early and late deficits to beat Boston College.

Seth Curry added 18 points for the Blue Devils (21-2, 8-2 Atlantic Coast Conference), who watched the other four Top 5 teams in the AP poll lose to unranked opponents this week — and then nearly joined them. Duke won its fifth straight game.

Olivier Hanlan scored 20 points for Boston College (10-13, 2-8). The Eagles led by five points with 2:15 left and had a chance to win it after Plumlee made one of two free throws, but Hanlan’s jumper was wide, and the rebound popped out of bounds as the buzzer sounded to end the game.

No. 1 Indiana 81, No. 10 Ohio State 68 COLUMBUS, OHIO — Victor Oladipo scored a career-high 26 points, Cody Zeller added 24 and Christian Watford 20 to lead Indiana back from a demoralizing loss to a huge road win in beating Ohio State.

The Hoosiers (21-3, 9-2 Big Ten), who dominated the second half, were coming off a stunning collapse that might have caused the undoing of many teams. On Thursday night at Illinois, the Illini went on a 13-2 run to close the game, with Indiana turning the ball over late and then allowing an uncontested layup at the buzzer of a 74-72 shocker.

Do not force the plug from its socket. A broken plug or marred threads can spell disaster for the vehicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s engine.

REPLACE AUTOMOTIVE SPARK PLUGS

I

n most cases, changing automotive spark plugs is a relatively easy task.

Check the vehicle ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manual for exact details on spark plug maintenance and installation.

Step 1: Spark plugs can be found under protective rubber boots located at the end of thick black or red rubber spark plug wires. Most vehicles have one plug per cylinder, but HEMI engines have two or more plugs per cylinder.

Step 2: Before starting, physically confirm that all spark plugs are readily accessible. If the plugs are not accessible, consider hiring a certified mechanic to do the job instead.

Step 3: Purchase the correct plugs for the job based on the vehicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s make, model, year and engine type.

Step 4: Wait until the engine has completely cooled before attempting to service the vehicle. Assure each plug wire remains

in the correct position by replacing the spark plugs one at a time.

Step 5: Follow the first wire to the protective rubber boot. Dust away any debris and remove the boot from the spark plug.

For stubborn boots, twist the boot back and forth while pulling up. Do not pull on the spark plug wire.

If the boot or wire shows signs of wear and tear, replace the spark plug wires along with the plugs.

Step 6: Clean the area around the spark plug. Use a rubber-lined spark plug socket and adjustable ratchet to loosen the plug. Do not force the plug from its socket. A broken plug or marred threads can spell disaster for the vehicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s engine. Finish unscrewing the loosened plug by hand.

Step 7: Wipe away any residue inside the spark plug hole with a lint-free cloth before installing the new plug.

Consult a mechanic if the old plug shows telltale signs of engine problems, such as oily deposits or sooty carbon buildup.

Step 8: Lightly lubricate the plugâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top threads with anti-seize compound. Leave the bottom two threads free of compound to encourage proper seating.

Step 9: Hand-tighten the new plug into the hole and then ratchet it down a quarter of a turn more. Do not overtighten the plug.

Step 10: Apply a small amount of silicone dielectric compound to the inside of the spark plug wire boot and push the boot onto the head of the spark plug until it clicks into place.

Step 11: Repeat the process until all plugs are replaced. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Linda Cottin can be reached at go@ljworld.com.

Safety, tree health arborist’s top priorities

BY ADAM STRUNK

D

an Parker-Timms ascends 40 feet into the canopy. Above hang the limbs he must cut. Below looms

the fall.

Suspended from a rope in between, his life dangles from what he calls good habits, “dotting the ‘I’s and crossing the ‘T’s.”

He double checks knots. He visualizes how each cut branch will fall. He has a back-up rope and picks his tie-ons with care.

“I trust my life every day to a 2-inch thick limb,” he says. “I should knock on wood as I say that. I’ve been lucky so far.”

Parker-Timms has operated Shamrock Tree Services Inc., 2136 Learnard Ave., for 18 years after starting the business with only a pickup truck a borrowed chain saw. He now has five employees, but his job as an arborist, or tree caretaker, remains the same: plant trees, cut down trees and trim trees.

The trimming takes up most of his time but also makes him feel most at home.

“Being in the top of the tree, feeling the wind blow and feeling the sway, all the way from the top completely down to the ground, you feel connected to the tree and the earth and the sky and really the natural world.”

He moves through the tree, removing branches with surgical care.

It is a job of utter concentration, sharpened with finality of the situation; the idea that one broken branch, one improper knot, one wrong cut can mean death.

Parker-Timms says trimming a tall tree pares away the rest of the world.

“It’s sort of like yoga with a saw,” he explains. “It can be quiet and contemplative, and it’s sort of an athletic and artistic endeavour.”

Parker-Timms explains shaping and trimming a tree as almost an act of creation, but also an act that carries destructive possibilities.

Parker-Timms cites the huge amount of force generated by a falling limb. It can damage a house, or worse.

“I have worked for a couple of people over the years who have lost friends or family members who were struck by trees,” he says. “It’s always a sobering thing.”

HANGING BY A ROPE some 30 feet to 50 feet high in trees is a daily job for arborist Dan Parker-Timms, who owns Shamrock Trees Services Inc. of Lawrence. Parker-Timms’ father was also an arborist.

The danger weighs heavily on him.

“The burden for being responsible for keeping people safe and employed, I think that’s the most challenging but also most rewarding element,” he says. “How do you take something that is intrinsically risky and make it as safe and predictable as possible?”

To minimize the hazards, one trimmer often stays on the ground and “spots” while another person trims. ParkerTimms must also rely on what he calls “technical rigging” — using simple machines to safely lower heavy limbs to the ground away from houses and people.

“I always think when I’m frustrated and having problems (that) people built the pyramids using really simple technology,” he says.

Parker-Timms says his business works on trees for a number of reasons, from safety to aesthetics, but tree health is always his main concern.

“People think a guy with a chain saw gets his kick from cutting down trees,” he

says. “I and most tree trimmers I find are just the opposite. I do it because I love trees and their presence and always being around them.”

If he can avoid removing a tree, he will.

It kills job security, he jokes.

But when he has to cut off limbs or remove a tree he uses a “whole buffalo philosophy,” making sure nothing goes to waste.

Cut trees often go to the Kansas University Medicinal Garden to use as mulch or to the KU visual art department to be used in ceramics kilns.

Parker-Timms’ roots run deep with trees and nature.

His father worked as an arborist in Northern California: “Some kids play baseball with their dad, we went out and cut redwoods.”

But he never considered tree care as a profession. He earned an undergraduate degree in creative writing at University of California, Davis, and hoped to write poetry. Afterward, he traveled across the

country, often falling back on forestry — he fought forest fires in the summer to pay the bills. He began cutting trees to fund a master’s degree in creative writing from the University of Colorado, Boulder.

Eventually he realized there was a reason he kept coming back to the profession: “I liked being outside more than I liked being in the classroom.”

He then followed his girlfriend to Kansas and started his business.

“As a kid growing up in California, we wouldn’t have believed there were trees in Kansas,” he says. “I certainly never thought I’d wind up and be happy here.”

Now he has his own sons, ages 8 and 6. Parker-Timms would be flattered if his two sons chose to be the third generation in his family to climb trees.

However, he doesn’t want them to take up the risky and physically demanding profession unless it’s their passion, like his own.

“You do it because you love the lifestyle, not because you want to get rich,” he says.

Figs figure into intriguing Valentine’s Day treats T

his month, try figs — they might be a little mysterious, but getting to know them is definitely worth it.

Delicious/

NUTRITIOUS

SARAH HENNING & MEGAN STUKE

Delicious

Figs are so beautiful. I think they’re a perfect pick for February because they’re sort of unique and somehow sexy.

Somehow, they seem romantic to me.

They’re a little bit expensive and a little bit rare and absolutely luscious.

Honestly, I could say, “Cut them in half and put them on a pretty plate,” and that would be enough to do the fig justice. But of course I am wont to gild the lily, so I had to add some other favorite sexy ingredients to the fig to put the whole thing over the top.

Make this for Valentine’s Day for your love interest if you’d like to get married.

Or if you’d just like to see him or her again, possibly in less clothing.

The great thing about this little recipe is that it looks really fancy, but it’s really fast to do. It doesn’t require any special equipment or expertise (heck, it doesn’t even require heat), but it looks like a real gourmet treat.

BLEU CHEESE STUFFED FIGS 5 or 6 fresh figs (preferably the brown turkey variety)

John Young/Journal-World Photos

MEGAN SUGGESTS MAKING these Bleu Cheese Stuffed figs for your valentine “if you’d like to get married.”

1/3 cup bleu cheese, softened 3 tablespoons cream cheese honey 3 tablespoons pine nuts Stand the figs up. You don’t want to cut all the way through, but cut in half down to the bottom, leaving about a quarter of an inch at the bottom. Then cut in half the other direction, making an “x” in with the slices in the top of the figs.

Mash the bleu cheese and cream cheese together. If you have a piping bag with a

star tip, go ahead and load the cheese in there. If not, load it into a plastic baggie and cut a small hole in one corner.

Pipe the cheese into the center of the fig.

Next, heat a skillet and toast the pine nuts gently. Drizzle the figs with a little bit of honey and then sprinkle with pine nuts.

You can have this lovely little appetizer ready in mere minutes, leaving plenty of time for romance. This will impress your date and you won’t have to break a sweat

or blow up your kitchen to do it. Enjoy!

NUTRITIOUS Megan and I choose figs this month because we’d heard, they are — ahem — some sort of, uh, love potion. You know.

Like you eat them and the urge to love just takes over the second they hit your system.

I’m not really sure if that’s true, but I can say that I absolutely love eating them.

But I probably was nearly 30 when I had

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 2013

my first one outside of a Fig Newton. I’m sure this is totally normal.

But once I’d tried both fresh and dried figs without the whole “Newton” part, I was hooked.

They’re sweet, sort of spicy and everything a girl could want in a dessert, Valentine’s Day looming or not.

You’re also getting a bit of good nutrition along with great flavor and, uh, the other possible benefits.

Per fig, you get about 1 percent to 2 percent of your daily calcium, iron, potassium, magnesium, vitamin K, copper, manganese and other trace nutrients.

Because it’s February and I’m a sucker for chocolate, I’ve chopped up my figs and created a bark that is low in added sugar.

To create the bark, I mixed an unsweetened baking bar with a low-sugar dark chocolate bar (5 grams of sugar per serving) and then added in figs and raisins to add flavor and sweetness without extra refined sugars.

Toss in some nuts for crunch, and you’ve got a fig-licious dessert that’s decadent but not a sugar bomb.

SARAH’S FIG-CHOCOLATE BARK is a sweet dessert laden with vitamins and minerals rather than sugar.

FIG-CHOCOLATE BARK ½ cup chopped dried figs, stems removed ¼ cup raisins ¼ cup chopped nuts of choice (I used pecans) 1 4-ounce 100 percent cacao unsweetened baking bar (I used Ghirardelli) 1 3.5-ounce 70 percent dark chocolate bar Chop chocolate bars into tiny pieces (smaller than chocolate chips, if you can do it). Next, melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in a glass bowl over a pot of hot water. Stir constantly until smooth.

Once smooth, remove from the heat and add figs, raisins and nuts.

Stir to combine and coat.

On a cookie sheet lined with wax paper, spread the bark “dough” with a spatula. Top with additional chopped fruit or nuts, if preferred.

Set in the freezer until hard.

Once frozen, break it into pieces and serve. Serves 8.

Set the mood for your valentine

L

ooking to set the romantic tone this Valentine’s Day? Whether treating your sweetie to a night on the town or staying in for a low-key date, Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to plan something special for your special someone.

Here are a few simple tips to help plan the most romantic day for your valentine:

Turn off the technology: Turn off your cellphones and TV, keep laptops closed and enjoy the company of your beloved without checking your email or sports scores. With the exception of your favorite love balladfilled playlist, Valentine’s Day is the perfect day to give your technology a rest and share some uninterrupted time with your sweetheart.

Bring it home: Want to take that special

someone on an incredible date but are tired of the overpriced, prix fixe holiday menus

dominating the restaurant scene? It’s easy to create a special at-home dinner date with just a little extra planning: Plan a meal with your sweetie’s favorite things, print a festive menu, get dressed to the nines and give yourself the night off. (The dishes can wait until Friday.)

Toast your valentine: In a recent survey for Simply

Naked Wines, wine was named the drink of choice on date night by more than two-thirds of respondents.

Impress your valentine with a romantic bottle of wine, such as Simply Naked Wines’ new Undressed Red. The wine’s rich and silky flavors will pair well with dark chocolate and are sure to set the mood for your special night.

X marks the spot: Valentine’s Day is the one day of the year where it’s perfectly acceptable to be over-the-top and lovey-dovey. Create a personalized scavenger hunt for your love that sends them all over town to your favorite spots and ends right in your arms.

Rekindling romance takes effort

BY SARA SHEPHERD

I

n a way, Julie and Seth Johnson of Baldwin City are forced to do something simple that’s critical for relationships but that many couples overlook — talk.

With Seth’s job as a construction superintendent taking him out of town except on weekends, the high school sweethearts, who married a little over a year ago, make sure they talk every day, sometimes more than once. If they’re busy it might be just five minutes, Julie said, and other days it might be an hour.

“It’s kind of hard to make time to actually talk to each other on the phone,” she said.

“But … it’s pretty much our only way to communicate.”

With Valentine’s — psychologist Day — the final Marciana Vequist day of National Marriage Week — on Thursday, revving up romance seems to be on the brain, and experts say strengthening your emotional connection is the best place to start.

Establishing “real, genuine contact” is critical to committed relationships, said Marciana Vequist, a psychologist who works with couples at Lawrence’s Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center.

If you find yourself not sharing much about what’s really going on in your life, or if you and your partner’s conversations seem overrun by superficiality, business or household matters, she said, look at your emotional connection and “take its temperature.”

“We can expect our style of romance to change over the years, but I don’t think we should expect it to go away,” Vequist said. “Warmth in a relationship has to be there before you can get hot.”

Maybe yours is a little on the cool side. How do you warm it up?

“We can expect our style of romance to change over the years, but I don’t think we should expect it to go away.”

WIN A DATE NIGHT Marriage for Keeps, a program of Catholic Charities of Kansas, offers free relationship education workshops statewide. For more information on the workshops, which are open to people of any faith, visit KansasLoveLetters. com.

Love Letters from Kansas, an affiliated campaign, also is sponsoring a date-night giveaway contest. Enter online by Thursday (Valentine’s Day) at Facebook. com/ksloveletters.

It’s as simple as talking, Vequist said. She offered these pointers to maximize your time together: < Make time. Even if it’s just 15 minutes a day, set aside the cellphones, turn off the TV, sit down, look at one another and really find out what’s going on with each other. < Be sensitive. For some people, self-disclosure is anxiety provoking. If that’s the case for your partner, start out easy and treat it like a skill — practice, and you’ll get better. < Be yourself. In conversations, don’t try to present the person you think your partner wants you to be — if anyone should get to see the true you, it’s them.

“Who we really are deep down inside of our heart is really much more attractive than anybody we could invent or make up,” Vequist said. “The more you can show that to someone, the more attractive you’ll be.”

It’s normal for some of the “luster” to wear off as relationships weather time or challenges, said Christina Sell, regional coordinator for Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas’ Marriage for Keeps program, which offers free relationship workshops. That’s when, if you’re lacking communication skills to maintain an emotional connection, it starts to show.

Giving your partner your full attention is almost like going back to the time when you felt “enraptured” by whatever they said, Sell said. Taking time to do something that’s meaningful to them — even if it’s not necessarily meaningful to you — has the same effect.

With someone giving you that kind of devotion, Sell said, “how can you help but feel special?”

Invite love in, all year round Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s note: Lawrence psychologist Harriet Lernerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 11th book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Marriage Rules: A Manual for the Married and the Coupled Up,â&#x20AC;? has just come out in paperback. Here, she shares relationship tips to remember not just around Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day but all year long.

C

oupling up is never simple.

Even the best marriages will get stuck in too much distance or blame. The natural course of marriage is downstream, unless you are intentional about paddling against the current. The good news is that even a small change on the part of one person can make a big difference. < Warm things up.

Make at least Lerner two positive comments every day to your partner and speak to the specifics about what you admire (â&#x20AC;&#x153;I loved how funny you were at the party last nightâ&#x20AC;?). Make sure that your positive comments exceed critical ones by a healthy margin. < Dial down the criticism.

Many folks value criticism at the early stage of a relationship but become more allergic to it over time.

Get more bite marks on your tongue and remember this: No one can survive in a marriage (at

least not happily) if they feel more judged that admired. < Overcome your LDD (listening deficit disorder). Wholehearted listening is the greatest spiritual gift you can give to your partner. Drop the defensiveness and listen only to understand, without interrupting, correcting facts or counter-punching. Save your defense for another conversation. < Set aside 15 minutes every day to schmooze and share.

Couples operate in a time famine.

Be intentional about scheduling 15 minutes of conversation with your partner, and make this a daily ritual.

Rule technology, complaints, high-twitch subjects and the to-do list off-limits during this time. < Stop the emotional pursuit.

Under stress, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t press. If you pursue a distancer, he or she will distance more. Consider it a fundamental law of physics.

Focus less on your partner and more on your own life plan. A distant partner is more likely to move toward you when he or she has breathing room and can see you taking good care of yourself. < Guys: Think housework, not roses. Flowers may put some women in the mood, but your partner may feel a lot more romantic if you notice that the leftovers in the refrigerator need to be tossed and that the babyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s laundry in the dryer should be folded and put away. An unfair division of labor builds resentment; plus sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be too tired for romance. < Be a mystery. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comfortable and cozy when two people know absolutely everything about each other. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not, however, a recipe for romance.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re more likely to feel romantic toward a partner who has connections and passions outside the relationship. So take a dance class, skiing lessons or join a book group with friends. The more passion you show for life outside your marriage, the more zest youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find within it.

Remember that love is a verb, so put one or two of the above tips into action and make it habit. Your marriage thanks you in advance!

Bright red, vibrant pink, chocolate brown and the always-appropriate black are my Valentine’s Day colors of choice.

EMILY KENNEDY

Valentine’s Day style F

ebruary has arrived and that means one thing: Valentine’s Day. Typically one’s relationship status determines on which side of the Valentine’s Day lovehate spectrum you stand. Personally, my feelings are indifferent toward this Hallmark holiday full of roses and heart-shaped boxes of chocolate.

Truth be told, my excitement stems from my favorite pastime, dressing for the occasion!

Bright red, vibrant pink, chocolate brown and the always-appropriate black are my Valentine’s Day colors of choice. Lace, sparkly jewels and heart graphics are also some of my obsessions throughout the month of February.

So whether you’re single this year or have been struck by Cupid’s arrow, here are some love-worthy ensembles for the special occasion.

THE WINE AND DINE A dress is my go-to piece for a fancy dinner of any kind. Pay attention to the fabric and wear a lace or chiffon number, as cotton typically looks more casual. De-

pending on the weather, you might want to throw on a pair of tights. Ankle boots in a neutral tone add a little edginess, but classic heels are always a safe style option.

W OUTFIT: Coat, Target; faux fur collar, Hobbs; dress, Gap Outlet; ankle boots, PacSun; belt, PacSun; purse, TJ Maxx.

THE SINGLE GIRLS’ NIGHT OUT Girls’ nights are meant to be carefree and fun, so you’ll want that to show through in your outfit.

Throw on some dark skinny jeans, statement heels with a little sparkle, a feminine top and festive blazer in a bright color.

X OUTFIT: Top, Plato’s Closet; blazer, Forever 21; jeans, Urban Outfitters; heels, Kohl’s; purse, Francesca’s.

Elizabeth wearing The Wine and Dine

Emily wearing The Movie Date

THE MOVIE DATE For this particular outing, you’ll want to find pieces that are casual and super comfortable.

A sweater with heart graphics layered over a button-up shirt will give you a unique twist to a tailored look. A printed button-up shirt will pump up an otherwise simple sweater.

Try a loose-fitting pair of denim like relaxed boyfriend jeans so you can properly lounge in the movie theater chair.

Flats in a colorful hue are easy to walk in and will complement your Valentine’s get-up perfectly.

S OUTFIT: Jacket, Forever 21; blouse, Target; sweater, Target; jeans, Gap Outlet; flats, Urban Outfitters.

DATING ADVICE FOR TEENS Dr. Wes: I often find at the core of good therapy the issue of how to love and be loved.

So it is with Double Take. Teen and young adult dating is a strong predictor of how kids will couple later in life, so we want to take it seriously.

In honor of Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll revisit our best rules for finding love. By the way, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find they apply equally to folks in the over-25 crowd.

The purpose of dating is to find out which people you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t belong with. Love requires a good search, trial and error, and a fair measure of heartbreak.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re only really ready to date when you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to have a relationship to be happy. Never let yourself stay with anyone you have to be with. Relationships require authentic choice, not dependence.

Next year Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m giving away brain-shaped boxes of candy rather than hearts. I want to encourage people to balance all those deep feelings of love with some practical attention to detail. Like can your partner keep a job?

How does he or she treat others? Never limit yourself to someone you just love.

Most people want to change â&#x20AC;Ś but not very much. While couples inevitably alter each other, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best to start with as little assembly required as possible.

Never date someone you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t consider marrying. While nobody is ready for marriage at 16 (or 20), thinking this way helps your dating practice stay focused. Alternatively, never date anyone you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let your daughter date.

Never marry anyone you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be divorced from. Judge a partner not by how they treat people they like, but by how they treat people with whom they have conflict.

Relationships go from where they start.

Never ignore red flags at the beginning while everything is flowers and unicorns.

Double TAKE

ON THE AIR Join Dr. Wes this Thursday (Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day) on Up to Date with Steve Kraske to talk more about successful dating. Tune into 89.3 FM or KCUR.org.

DR. WES CRENSHAW AND KATIE GUYOT

All relationships are four-dimensional: As love ages the raw spots start to show. Give it time.

The least motivated partner in a couple always has the most power â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the power of walking away.

Feeling â&#x20AC;&#x153;meant to be togetherâ&#x20AC;? isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t important. Meaning to be together is. Monogamy is an unnatural state of affairs, so you have to get up every day and decide to be in a relationship.

Adversity is a critical test. Couples arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t judged by how they do when things are good. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re judged by how they solve problems.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sleep too many times with someone you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to fall in love with.

Katie: For those of you who, like me, will be spending Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day on a oneperson study date with a box of chocolates signed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Love, Mom and Dad,â&#x20AC;? remember that being single is better than being in a bad relationship. Patiently waiting for the right person will make your relationship all the more special when it finally arrives.

Then the hard work really begins.

Here are my suggestions for building a healthy relationship:

Date someone because you have feelings for him or her, not because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in love with the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;boyfriendâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;girlfriend.â&#x20AC;? Teens should enjoy talking with their significant others more than they enjoy talking about them. Dating to change oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relationship status on Facebook only leads to disappointment.

On a related note: Social media has its place in modern society. That place is not on a dinner date. When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re out on the town, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give your Facebook friends and Twitter followers a play-by-play. The most memorable moments in life are those we experience through our five senses. The momentary gratification after earning a â&#x20AC;&#x153;likeâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;retweetâ&#x20AC;? doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t count as one of the five.

When you do find that special someone whose presence trumps all text messages and push notifications, you deserve to dance for joy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but remember to let the buzzing giddiness of a new relationship simmer down before you and your partner make any big decisions. Wes is right â&#x20AC;&#x201D; though the heart reigns in romantic territory, the mindâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advice is equally important.

Not even the most compatible couples stick together around the clock. A healthy relationship requires some alone time for each partner. You might walk step-for-step down the hallway, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still individuals. You fell in love as two independent spirits, and you can stay in love as long as you keep those kindred spirits kindling.

RUSSIA (AP) — Exactly one year before the opening ceremony of the Winter Games, Sochi organizers promised last week there will be enough snow during the Olympics even if temperatures in the subtropical region are high.

Russia marked the oneyear countdown on Thursday to the Sochi Games, which are considered a matter of national pride.

Temperatures at Sochi’s Krasnaya Polyana ski resort hovered about 50 degrees this week after a cold snap the previous week when athletes competed in test events amid snowstorms with temperatures dipping to 20 degrees.

On Thursday, temperatures reached 66 degrees in Sochi and 59 in the mountains.

Dmitry Chernyshenko, head of the Sochi organizing committee, said Sochi’s snow-making system and other technologies will enable organizers to “cope with any challenges of the weather.”

He said “we can guarantee that the snow will be there.”
