Senior advocate lauded for civic involvement

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Mitzi McFatrich, executive director of Kansas Advocates for Better Care, has been named this year’s recipient of the LawrenceDouglas County League of Women Voters’ annual Helen Fluker Open and Accessible Government Award.

The award, named after

a longtime member of the league, is given each year to recognize an individual for promoting open and accessible gov- McFatrich ernment at all levels.

KABC, originally known as Kansans for Improvement of Nursing Homes, is

a statewide advocacy group that works on issues such as long-term care and elder abuse. The organization was founded in Lawrence in 1966

by Anna “Petey” Cerf.

In addition to her work with KABC, the league noted, McFatrich also works with groups such as the Douglas County Coalition on Aging and Kaw Valley OWL. She helps coordinate the annual legislative forum

on senior issues, provides legislative progress reports and assists seniors in participating in the governmental process.

A luncheon in McFatrich’s honor is scheduled for Saturday at the Smith Center at Brandon Woods, 1501 Inverness Drive.

Cindy Hillebrand, 61, knows — thanks to DNA evidence — who grabbed her off a street in downtown Topeka at knifepoint 28 years ago and repeatedly raped her.

His name is Joel L. Russell, a convicted sex offender currently doing time in a Kansas prison for several other sexual assaults.

But because of the current five-year statute of limita- Russell tion on rape cases in Kansas, there’s nothing prosecutors can do about Hillebrand’s case, which dates to 1985.

Future victims, however, may get justice in similar cases, as Kansas lawmakers in both the House and the Senate last week unanimously passed bills that abolish a statute of limitations in rape and sodomy cases.

Kansas is among 10 states that now require a rape to be prosecuted within five years, but under the new legislation, Kansas would join 20 other states that allow rape prosecutions at any time.

The new legislation also allows for prosecution of a sexually violent crime to begin Please see RAPE, page 2A

150-year-old church integral to city’s history

JOSEPHINE WHITE, a longtime worker at Kansas University’s Pi Beta Phi sorority, was married at Ninth Street Baptist Church in 1931. The church was one of four original churches for the city’s African-American community, and one of two that remain today.

When the church was founded by the New England Emigrant Aid Society, it was known as Second Missionary Baptist Church and members met on the upper floor of a hardware store between Sixth and Seventh Streets on Massachusetts Street.

It moved to its present location in 1865 after the lot was purchased for

One of our city’s oldest and most important institutions this spring is celebrating a significant milestone. The Ninth Street Baptist Church is 150 years old, and the congregation is celebrating with a week of festivities kicking off March 13. To honor this institution, we look back at some of the significant events that have taken place within its walls over the past 150 years.

a mere $1,168. It became Warren Street Baptist Church, a name it kept for close to 50 years, until the city changed the names of its east-west streets to numbers. Warren Street became Ninth Street, and the church followed suit.

The church changed more than its name between 1910 and 1930. During this period, the tower was added on the building’s southeast corner, electricity was installed, and the basement was remodeled.

Stained glass windows

were also donated. Delmar white, Ninth Street’s current pastor, said the windows were given to the church by Kansas University students. “There has always been an important connection between the church and the university,” he said.

within 10 years of when a victim turns 18. Current law allows prosecutors to file charges within a year of when DNA evidence identifies a suspect in a sex crime.

The House approved its bill on Friday, one day after the Senate approved its own legislation. Each chamber’s bill went to the other. The content of the two measures are identical.

Hillebrand, who traveled from out of state to speak to lawmakers in favor of the legislation, found herself in the role of advocate following a Journal-World series focusing on her case. “I’ve been working so hard on this,� said Hillebrand, who’s been working with the Kansas Coalition Against Sexual and Domestic Violence, which helped craft the legislation.

After a 2011 JournalWorld article on Joe Jones, a Topeka man who was wrongfully convicted and later exonerated by DNA evidence in the attack on Hillebrand, Topeka police

reopened the investigation.

DNA testing in 2012 identified Russell as a suspect in Jones Hillebrand’s case. An arrest warrant for Russell was issued, but prosecutors had to drop the case because the five-year statute of limitations in the case had run out decades ago.

The new bill won’t help in older cases such as Hillebrand’s but could open the door for prosecutions in future rape cases.

Frustrated that Russell couldn’t be brought to trial in her case, Hillebrand focused her attention on ensuring other offenders won’t slip through the cracks.

Working on the bill, and seeing it passed, has helped Hillebrand in her own recovery, ongoing for nearly three decades. “It’s the only way I’ll get any justice on this,� she said. — Reporter Shaun Hittle can be reached at 832-7173.

HOW TO HELP

Community Corrections starting new program

By Lori John Roger Hill Volunteer Center

Agency: Douglas County Community Corrections Contact: Steve Willis Douglas County Community Corrections is seeking adult volunteers, age 21 and older, for a new program called Mentoring to Promote Success. In this program, volunteers will establish a one-on-one positive and supportive relationship with a probationer via weekly in-person interaction.

Volunteers will provide advice, guidance, encouragement and support to probationers and assist them in using their own problem-solving abilities for anything that arises in relation to their reintegration. Training will be provided along with ongoing collaborative work with the Intensive Supervision Officer. This is an opportunity to make a big difference for someone who is lacking positive, supportive relationships. For more information, contact Steve Willis, DCCC Assistant Director, at 785-832-5350 or swillis@douglas-county. com.

Immediate needs The Kennedy School “Pride Store� needs volunteers for this Friday.

This is a fun volunteer opportunity, as students are really excited to get to spend their hard-earned “cash� they have been saving up. Students at Kennedy strive to demonstrate the qualities of PRIDE: Perseverance, Respect, Integrity, Dependability and Empathy, and by doing so, receive faux dollars to spend at the school store, which opens only four times each year.

Kennedy is looking for at

least seven volunteers for each shift: 7:40-10:40 a.m. and 10:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m.

If you can help, contact Brooke Miller, with Communities in Schools, at 785-330-1656 or brooke@ cisnortheastkansas.org.

The Visiting Nurses Hospice program is seeking a volunteer to provide two hours of office support once weekly or twice monthly. Duties would include prepping hospice information folders, filing, data entry and other possible “organizational� contributions of interest to the volunteer.

At this agency, you’ll find a friendly and thankful staff, an easy volunteer environment and opportunities to connect with other hospice volunteers.

Contact Sarah Rooney at sarahro@kansasvna.org or 785-843-3738.

THE CHOIR OF THE NINTH STREET BAPTIST CHURCH is shown in this photo from 1941. The church is celebrating its 150th anniversary this month.

Church CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Americans to meet at KU.�

The congregation But the history of Ninth Street Baptist Church is more than the history of the building. It is, of course, the history of its members, and the church played a pivotal role in the most sacred events of its members’ lives — the place for baptisms, marriages and funerals.

It was where Willie Ophelia Mitchell, a teacher at Lincoln School in North Lawrence, was baptized in 1892. She recalled the experience in 1977 for an oral history project and remembered being told to put pebbles in her jacket pockets to keep it from floating to the surface when she was immersed.

Ninth Street was where Josephine White, a longtime worker at KU’s Pi Beta Phi sorority, was married in 1931.

And it was where George “Nash� Walker, one of the most famous vaudeville stars and the first African-American to bring an all-black show to Broadway, had his funeral in 1911.

The Jan. 16, 1911, edition of the Lawrence Daily Journal called the crowd at the church impressive and the flowers magnificent: “With the Warren Street Baptist church filled to overflowing with both white and colored people with the full impressive ceremonies of the Masonic Lodge and the gorgeousness of magnificent floral tributes ‌â€?

Those flowers also made an impression on a young Langston Hughes, who remembered having his hand slapped during the funeral “because it was not polite for a child to point,� he wrote in his 1940 autobiography, “The Big Sea.�

Hughes also wrote of the church’s significance not just for its members but for all of Lawrence’s African-American community. “The focal point of Sunday, apart from church services and the Sunday school, became the forum of the Warren Street Baptist Church,� Hughes wrote. “There, university students and talented townsfolk gathered to sing, and play classical music, recite poetry, read original essays and other compositions, and discuss the affairs of the day, especially as they affected The Race.�

Ethel Moore, born in 1889 in Lawrence, who was another participant in the oral history project, remembered one special visitor at Ninth Street, writer and scholar, W.E.B. Du Bois, founding member of the NAACP and editor for its newspaper,

Moore told the interviewer. “I can see him speaking now, and he seemed so aloof, just like that, and kind of look over you like he was — you were there, but I see you and I don’t see you.�

Souls and lives The forums exemplify Ninth Street’s role in the African-American community, for church leaders’ concerns often went beyond salvation and extended into the economic, social and political lives of their members.

KU professor Dorothy Pennington has studied the history and cultural role of Lawrence’s black churches, and in her 1982 monograph she wrote that “discrimination caused black churches to assume a symbolic role in meeting the needs of blacks.�

Not only did they meet the need for status and recognition and provide leadership opportunities, according to Pennington, they offered “self-esteem, social and spiritual acceptance, and a space blacks could call their own,� she wrote.

Although Lawrence’s history is one as a haven for African-Americans, the city had more than its share of racial unrest during the Civil Rights era, and Ninth Street Baptist, along with St. Luke’s AME, played a significant role in the movement.

On Aug. 25, 1960, the executive board of the NAACP met at Ninth Street, according to The Topeka Plaindealer, where members discussed the organization’s upcoming convention in Topeka.

Sessions at the regional meeting included information on voter registration and the effectiveness of sit-ins.

Perhaps it was no coincidence that the next year, students at KU staged a sit-in at Chancellor Clarke Wescoe’s office protesting racially discriminatory practices by landlords.

On July 22, 1963, the NAACP organized a Freedom March on Massachusetts Street that started at

Tickets $35 per person St. Luke’s AME and ended at the Douglas County Courthouse. Between 275 and 300 people turned out for the demonstration, which was meant to bring attention to poor housing and inadequate job opportunities for Lawrence’s African-Americans. Ninth Street’s the Rev. Frank Brown was named in the newspaper as one of the individuals leading the march.

KU students again staged a sit-in in 1965, attempting to end segregation by the university’s fraternities and sororities. When police arrested them and took them to the Douglas County jail, local pastors bailed them out.

Changing times The times were changing, and as society evolved, so did the culture of Ninth Street Baptist. A 1976 Journal-World article reported on the installation of a new painting of Jesus in the sanctuary by local artist Dennis Helm. “Behind the painting lies the story of changing times,� wrote JournalWorld reporter Allen Torrey, “not just the obvious switch from a white to a black Christ but perhaps as well the passing of a segment of black church life that goes back a long time in Lawrence.�

The painting was commissioned by the church’s Queen Esther club, celebrating its 63rd year.

Cordelia Mitchell, who spoke to Torrey, said that the painting was being given to the church as a “parting gesture� since group membership was dwindling because young people weren’t joining it.

Through all the changes, Ninth Street Baptist Church goes on, making a positive impact on its members and the greater Lawrence community.

Perhaps the secret to its survival is its role in the sacred and the social lives of its members. Karen Presswood, member since 2001, said she enjoys the “friendliness and warmth of the people,� adding that the pastor is also key. “It’s the way he preaches the word,� she said. “He makes it relevant to what is going on in the world today.�

DISPATCHES FROM THE ACADEMY

Reporters take citizensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; police course

School finance amendment in detention

By Ian Cummings and Shaun Hittle

Last month, a proposed constitutional amendment that would remove the courts from school finance decisions limped out of the Senate with the bare minimum two-thirds majority.

The House hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t taken it up yet.

House Speaker Ray Merrick, R-Stilwell, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still working on that. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the queue.â&#x20AC;?

A constitutional amendment in the 125-member House would require 84 votes to win approval. So far, Democrats, who oppose the measure, think there are enough votes to block it.

If approved, however, it would then go before the voters.

icummings@ljworld.com; sdhittle@ljworld.com

Over the past two months, Journal-World reporters Ian Cummings and Shaun Hittle joined other local residents in attending the Lawrence Police Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Citizensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Academy.

In the twice-weekly course, Cummings and Hittle saw gruesome crime scene photos, dusted beer bottles for fingerprints, learned how police solve robbery cases and witnessed, via video, some harrowing police chases through the streets of Lawrence.

They also learned that police work is often best left to those who went through the real police academy. They chronicled their adventures in their Dispatches from the Academy blog on LJWorld.com. Here are some of the highlights.

Democrat will emerge to challenge Brownback Democratic leaders in the Legislature say names of possible Democratic challengers to Gov. Sam Brownback wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start surfacing until after the legislative session, which ends in May. Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley of Topeka and House Minority Leader Paul Davis of Lawrence say they believe a recent poll that shows Brownback has a low approval rating. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a lot of concern about the direction that the governor is taking the state,â&#x20AC;? Davis said.

Hensley said in his recent re-election campaign in November he did polling about how people in his district felt about Brownback.

Hensley said Brownbackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approval rating, especially among women, was significantly low.

The election isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until November 2014, but a Democratic challenger would have to start raising money soon.

The Public Policy Polling survey in Kansas found 52 percent of Kansans disapprove of Brownbackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance, while 37 percent approve. However, Brownback polled better when matched against six different Democrats.

Worse than murder During a class in which we learned about homicide investigations and crimes against children, we ate lasagna while examining a photo of the exit wound a shotgun blast left in a Lawrence manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face.

Even those with the strongest intestinal fortitude had second thoughts about going back to the buffet for a second help-

ing. But it was really good lasagna, so we put the gore out of our minds and forged ahead.

Some things, we learned, might seem worse than murder.

A detective told us to take a note pad and write down our most recent sexual experience. He wanted us to detail everything: date, time, where it was, who we were with and exactly what we did.

As a class, we hesitated to pick up our pens and pencils. Imagine writing all of that down.

Now imagine reciting those details in an open courtroom for a judge, several attorneys and whoever else might be there.

Also imagine that you are 5 years old, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been abused by a trusted relative.

Lance Flachsbarth, a detective who spent time in juvenile investigations, explained some of the techniques heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s used to interview children in difficult situations. He talked about breaking the ice, giving a young child time to think and avoiding leading questions. He broke down for us the psychology of different types of child molesters and pedophiles.

The most dangerous kinds of offenders, Flachsbarth said, are criminals who are willing to assault Please see ACADEMY, page 5A

â&#x20AC;&#x153;These gentlemen here, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re as much a part of our family as aunts and uncles,â&#x20AC;? Larry said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Northrop family will always reach out to Station No. 4.â&#x20AC;?

Piperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birth Unlike some at-home births, Piperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t planned. After a case of the flu caused Amy to have false labor pains two days prior to Piper being born, the Northrops had decided for Amy to be induced at Overland Park Regional Hospital the morning of Feb. 27.

Everything was prepared the night before â&#x20AC;&#x201D; bags were packed, and Amy and Larry had scheduled for a baby sitter to watch their three sons while they were away.

However, as the night began Amy started to feel pains again. Because of the incident a couple days before, she attributed the pain to false labor. When she went to bed around midnight, she had a giant contraction and knew quickly that it was time

. for Piper to be born. She woke up Larry and they weighed their options, and then Larry called 911.

On the birth certificate, Larry is listed as the doctor. Piper was delivered just before the firefighters arrived, and, luckily, the birth wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t complicated.

Amy gave several pushes and Piper came out. Larry grabbed her, put her on Amyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chest to hold and covered the two up. When it came time for him to cut the umbilical cord, he could hear the fire truck and decided to wait for the professionals to do it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By the time we were there, all the hard work was over,â&#x20AC;? said Lt. Miguel Armenta, one of the onscene paramedics.

After making sure that Piper and Amy were stable, the medics took the two to Lawrence Memorial Hospital.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no rhyme or reason, we just wanted to let them know how much it meant to us,â&#x20AC;? Amy said.

Since then, the Northrop family has kept in contact with the station. The Northrops often stop there with doughnuts, and every year on Piperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthday the family goes to Station No. 4 to celebrate and say thanks one more time.

The connection After Amy and Piper were released from the hospital, they went to Station No. 4 to thank the six men who helped make sure the two were well before sending them to LMH.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real connection here for us,â&#x20AC;?

Armenta said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of times we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really stay in touch, but we try to keep track of her.â&#x20AC;?

The contact isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just the Northropsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; doing. Some of the men who were there for Piperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birth get her cards and gifts for her birthday, and the station even has a board of pho-

testing of those receiving welfare or unemployment benefits if the person is suspected of using illegal drugs.

Francisco said she voted for Senate Bill 149 because the Kansas Department for Children and Families was already conducting drug tests on some recipients, and the proposed bill would put into statute the specific procedures. She also said the legislation emphasizes that the purpose of the drug testing is to provide drug treatment and that welfare benefits will continue to flow to the children of an adult who tests positive for drug use.

On the same bill, state Sen. Tom Holland, D-Baldwin City, voted present, but passing.

Holland said he felt he could not vote against the bill because he had supported an earlier amendment to the legislation that applies the drug testing rules to legislators. But he said he couldn’t support the overall bill on drug testing, calling it an “overreach.”

The smell of evidence Citizens’ Academy attendees were able to visit a place very few people ever step foot in: the Lawrence Police Department’s evidence room, tucked away above the county’s courtrooms.

It wasn’t what we saw that initially caught our attention. It was the smell.

The second you enter, the pungent scent of marijuana hits the nose, a byproduct of all the drugs confiscated and stored by local law enforcement.

Solving cases In the robbery/homicide portion of our class, Detectives Jack Cross and M.T. Brown challenged us to solve two well-known Lawrence crimes.

One was a 1996 robbery of a Sonic restaurant and the other was the 2002 double murder of George “Pete” Wallace and Wyona Chandlee. Of course, the cases had already been solved, and our task was merely to guess the right answers based on evidence police found at the crime scenes.

In the Sonic robbery, police arrived at the restaurant chain’s 3201 W. Sixth St. location on Aug. 12, 1996, to find that two men with handguns had locked several employees in a walk-in cooler and escaped with thousands of dollars in cash.

In the 2002 murder case, police found Wallace and Chandlee, both 71, of Lawrence, on July 11 in their house at 1530 Learnard Ave., lying next to each other on the carpet in the living room.

Both had been shot twice in the head and the house had been ransacked. A bag of groceries remained unpacked nearby, with the receipt dated the day before.

The detectives led us beyond the crime scene tape and through the basic steps of an investigation.

There are a lot of them, but here are some of the main points:

Secure the crime scene. Preserve and photograph footprints, blood or other evidence.

Interview witnesses.

In a homicide, relatives and friends of victims are often the most valuable informants.

Get information out.

If you have a description of a suspect, circulate it among other officers immediately.

Establish a timeline.

Where were the victims over the past few days?

Look for security cameras in the area that might have captured images of the suspects.

We started shouting out theories, and after a few hours, we solved the crimes all over again.

Two Kansas University students, short on money for bills, were convicted of the Sonic robbery. One was a former employee of another Sonic restaurant.

A CITIZENS’ ACADEMY PARTICIPANT brushes black powder onto a soft drink can before using tape to pull a fingerprint from it during a fingerprinting exercise Feb. 7. of the double murder.

Police said Wallace and Chandlee surprised Lewis while he was burglarizing their home, and he killed them to avoid being identified.

We shuffled out, mentally numb and emotionally scarred. If much of our education was lighthearted and fun up to that point, our rookie class had now graduated to the darker territories of law enforcement.

Police work = paperwork For die-hard law enforcement enthusiasts interested in a police career, take this warning: There’s far more paperwork than chasing bad guys. Hours and hours of paperwork.

As it turns out, a huge part of policing is writing down names, addresses and descriptions of the daily incidents and reported crimes that officers respond to every day.

Almost all of those reports eventually find their way to the department’s website, along with a lot of other information, and that can actually be pretty useful.

For example, all of the information goes to creating a set of cool-looking, constantly updated public maps that show if a neighborhood is a “hot spot” for crime — and make for some entertaining Web browsing.

Elsewhere on the website, we saw names of people who had warrants out for their arrest. You might be surprised to find yourself there. And all of the reports the police take down for crimes and car accidents are available free online.

As reporters, this easily accessible information is very useful on a daily basis, and we’re glad it’s there.

Other Citizens’ Academy cadets weren’t as thrilled. Some of our classmates were surprised and unhappy to learn that their names, addresses,

phone numbers and driver’s license numbers were published online if they happened to be the victim or witness of a crime, or even a car accident. We had a long talk about privacy and the dangers of identity theft.

It’s the law, our police instructors said. Kansas, like most states, has laws guaranteeing open access to these kinds of public records.

CSI: Lawrence Crime scene investigation is not as easy as it looks on television.

Just taking your own fingerprint off of an aluminum can, as we learned in an exercise, can be infuriatingly difficult. The tape sticks to all the wrong edges, black powder gets everywhere, and you may end up with nothing but a smudgy blob. That doesn’t happen to David Caruso on “CSI: Miami.”

But, as Lawrence Detectives Randy Glidewell and David Axman showed us, that’s only the beginning of how messy reallife police work can be.

At any given crime scene, investigators can expect to deal with blood spatter, teeth marks, bodily fluids, bad fingerprints and huge piles of dead flies. Our hands-on exercises were thankfully limited to more routine types of evidence.

The whole practice of forensic investigation, as we learned, is based on Locard’s Exchange Principle, which says that a perpetrator of a crime always carries away traces of the victim. The opposite is also true — victims take away traces of the perpetrator.

That principle leads investigators to examine all kinds of gory material. When criminals try to clean the blood from a crime scene, detectives can use a chemical called luminol to make it appear in the dark. They will use ultraviolet light to find, and run DNA tests on, se-

men left on a bedsheet.

They will study the life cycle of houseflies to interpret the piles of maggots and the swarming flies around a man who’s been hanging in an attic for 10 hot summer days.

To preserve the more difficult fingerprints, investigators will sometimes coat them in a mist of vaporized Super Glue. The glue holds oils and amino acids in place to allow investigators to make several attempts at pulling the print without destroying it.

We got to try our hand at dusting for prints, with mixed success. Walking out of class, we could see Locard’s Principle at work among us. We took away with us ink-stained thumbs and a new understanding of forensic science.

Not-so-quick draw It was a sobering moment at the Citizens’ Academy as one of our two Journal-World reporters — who will go unidentified here — stepped up as a volunteer in a simulated shooting exercise.

Lawrence police Capt.

Bill Corey handed out a fake handgun as he set up the scenario on a large computer screen. There would be a police vehicle stop, and the role was as the backup officer. On the screen, a partner approached a car, and a woman was asked to step out of the vehicle.

So many questions to

ponder as the simulated scene played out. Mainly, how would Raylen Givens, the rogue U.S. marshal in the TV series “Justified,” act under these circumstances? He’d be aggressive but a perfect shot, and ready to save the day, for sure. Would he even bother to take up a proper stance, or just shoot from the hip? Would he try to verbally de-escalate the situation, or just go for the gun?

None of that mattered.

In this scenario, the partner and the reporter were dead faster than one of Givens’ outlaws in a honky tonk saloon shoot out.

See, all of that thinking, along with a second passenger who exited the vehicle, distracted us long enough for the woman to pull a gun and shoot both me and my partner. And that was the point. In the heat of the moment, decision-making is compromised. It’s not even really decision-making as much as it is reacting.

Thankfully for the good people of Lawrence, we’ll leave this type of quickaction police work to the professionals.

If any of this sounds interesting, keep an eye out for the 2014 Lawrence Police Citizens’ Academy program next year.

Boeing begins selling off Wichita buildings WICHITA (AP) — Boeing is seeking buyers for its vast Wichita properties as the aircraft maker prepares to leave the city where it has operated for more than 80 years.

First on the market are buildings in the 85-acre office complex, which includes a lake and thousands of parking places, The Wichita Eagle reported.

The office buildings will be available for oc-

cupancy this year. Boeing will vacate the rest of its 97 buildings, including hangars and a runway, by the end of 2014 as it moves its defense operations to Oklahoma, Texas and the Pacific Northwest.

A tour of the office spaces Thursday attracted about 40 commercial real estate brokers and economic development officials.

“It is the start of the

process to bring the property to market and find a good match for a buyer,” said Boeing spokeswoman Kathy Spicer.

Those on the tour included Steve Martens, chief executive officer of NAI Martens. He said the properties have been meticulously maintained and are in great condition.

“That’s a very pretty campus,” Martens said.

The tour included three buildings ranging in size

from about 100,000 to more than 300,000 square feet. Martens said they would be suitable for businesses or for an investor to buy and lease to tenants.

Grant Tidemann, with J.P. Weigand & Sons, said the buildings are nice, but the location is difficult.

The market for office space in Wichita typically has been downtown or in the east part of the city.

Tax bills for rich families approach 30-year high

By Stephen Ohlemacher Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The poor rich.

With Washington gridlocked again over whether to raise their taxes, it turns out wealthy families already are paying some of their biggest federal tax bills in decades even as the rest of the population continues to pay at historically low rates.

President Barack Obama and Democratic leaders in Congress say the wealthy must pay their fair share if the federal government is ever going to fix its finances and reduce the budget deficit to a manageable level.

A new analysis, however, shows that average tax bills for high-income families rarely have been higher since the Congressional Budget Office began tracking the data in 1979.

Middle- and low-income families aren’t paying as much as they used to.

Tax rates For 2013, families with incomes in the top 20 percent of the nation will pay an average of 27.2 percent of their income in federal taxes, according to projections by the Tax Policy Center, a research organization based in Washington. The top 1 percent of households, those with incomes averaging $1.4 million, will pay an average of 35.5 percent.

Those tax rates, which include income, payroll, corporate and estate taxes, are among the highest since 1979.

The average family in the bottom 20 percent of households won’t pay any federal taxes. Instead, many families in this group will get payments from the federal government by claiming more in credits than they owe

The rule targets millionaires who make most of their money from investments — capital gains and qualified dividends, which have a top tax rate of 20 percent.

analyzed two sets of data to compare tax burdens over time.

The CBO produces data from 1979 to 2009; the center has overlapping data from 2004 through 2013.

Both get tax data from the IRS, but they use slightly different methodologies to calculate federal tax burdens.

Still, their numbers track closely enough to make some general observations. For example, it is clear that for 2013, average tax bills for the wealthy will be among the highest since 1979. It also is clear that federal taxes for middle- and low-income households will stay well below their averages for the same period.

Liberals and many Democrats say rich families can afford to pay higher taxes because their incomes have grown much more than incomes for middle- and lowincome families.

Average after-tax incomes for the top 1 percent of households more than doubled from 1979 to 2009, increasing by 155 percent, according to the CBO. Average incomes for those in the middle increased by just 32 percent during the same period while those at the bottom saw their incomes go up by 45 percent.

“You’ve got to think about the context,” said Chuck Marr, director of federal tax policy for the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a liberal think tank. “We just had three decades in the United States where we had a tremendous increase in inequality.”

The growing disparity in income is a big reason why tax bills for the rich are approaching 30-year highs, Williams said. As the rich get richer, a greater share of their income is taxed at the top rate, he said.

Southern development plans on horizon Internet options potentially expanding

P

lans have been filed at Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Office for a new commercial development south of the Wakarusa River.

Douglas County property owner Michael Flory has filed plans to rezone 29 acres at the southwest corner of U.S. Highway 59 and Leary Road (or North 1100, for those of you who don’t know the Learys) to commercial from agricultural.

For those of you still needing some help with the geography, North 1100 Road is about a mile south of the Wakarusa River.

The road basically intersects with U.S. 59 at the point where the highway used to switch from four lanes down to two lanes.

Thus far, the development plans aren’t grand, but they are notable. Flory said he envisions the property developing in phases. The first phase would be a unique type of storage unit development. Flory said he has acquired plans to build storage units that look like typical suburban houses.

The portion of the storage units visible from the highway and from North 1100 Road would look like the back of a home with a fenced-in yard.

A second phase of the development would call for a neighborhood-oriented convenience store, Flory said. A third phase of the development would be left unplanned for future commercial development.

The plans are notable

because they are one of the first signs that development speculation south of the Wakarusa River may be entering a new phase.

Lawrence city commissioners in the coming weeks again will revive discussions of starting construction of a $55 million sewage treatment plant just south of the river.

When that plant gets built, the city will have the ability to provide sewer service to large portions of ground south of the Wakarusa River. Add the fact that a new fourlane highway is running through the area — and the South Lawrence Trafficway just north of the river will be completed — and you’ve got an area that would appear ripe for development.

City commissioners still seem pretty intent on shaking up the city’s broadband market. Commissioners last week approved a $24,000 consulting contract with CTC Technology and Energy to study ways to improve the community’s broadband service.

If you remember, City Commission is interested in seeing if there are ways to capitalize off the several miles of fiber optic cable and conduit that

the city owns. The city uses that fiber optic cable to connect city buildings and also to run the city’s traffic signal system, but it could be put to use for general broadband purposes as well.

This new study will look at ways to do that.

But I get the sense it won’t stop there. The city memo describing the scope of the study says it will look at ways to “encourage better Internet/broadband services and prices for Lawrence residents and businesses.”

CTC, based out of Maryland, specializes in helping communities do that. It has been working a similar project with the University of Illinois in Urbana and Champaign, and it also was recently hired by the state of Kansas to conduct a statewide broadband analysis.

In a letter to commissioners, CTC officials said the company looks for ways to “enhance economic development and increase broadband competition by lowering barriers to entry for private sector providers.”

Obviously, there are private sector providers in Lawrence today, so it will be interesting to see how they react to this.

The study is expected to be completed in about six weeks.

switch to the Lawrencebased nonprofit KanREN. What the city found through the bid process is that the internet market has changed so much in the last several years that the city can now get Internet service that is about five times faster than what it currently has for less money than what it has been paying.

For the past few years, the city has been paying AT&T about $25,200 per year for internet service that has a 20MB bidirectional rating. With the city’s Internet usage growing, the city asked for a minimum of 100MB bidirectional service and ended up getting two bids less than what the city has been paying for the slower service.

KanREN had the low bid at $22,800 per year.

KanREN, which has its headquarters on Wakarusa Drive, is a nonprofit Internet provider that has focused on serving educational institutions. It provides the ISP services for KU, K-State, KU Medical Center, Johnson County Community College and many other educational institutions.

But now the nonprofit has received approval from its governing board to expand its offerings into the city and county government arena. My understanding is that Lawrence will be their first venture

into that market. KanREN may be a Lawrence company worth watching.

The city did receive bids from Lawrence’s three other major players in the Internet service provider market. AT&T’s bid came in at $25,526 a year. Knology had a bid of $24,000 a year. Wicked Broadband, which previously was known as Community Wireless or Lawrence Freenet, came it at $47,988 per year.

The city has an option to renew the service at the current price for two additional years.

There is good news for fans of AT&T in Lawrence. The company announced that it has activated its 4G LTE service in Lawrence. The company claims the new service is 10 times faster than the 3G service it has offered in the area.

AT&T has invested about $725 million in its Kansas networks as part of the upgrade. The company launched 4G LTE in Wichita in July and in Kansas City in November 2011.

Probably not coincidentally, the company is in the process of opening a new wireless phone store at 33rd and Iowa streets in the new commercial building in the Walmart parking lot.

Mom tried to convince us that she missed being with us. But since she moved back in, she is always on the phone or computer or out with her friends.

Voting Rights Act is out of date

Tax shift A move to reclassify certain property in the state likely will shift more of the tax burden to individual property owners.

I

t’s difficult to pay attention to what’s happening in Topeka these days when most of our energy and attention is spent moving snow, worrying about getting to work or getting the kids to their schools and activities as winter delivers a late-season pair of punches.

But the Kansas Association of Counties has highlighted House Bill 2285, which may be deserving of as much attention as any slippery sidewalk or snow-packed pavement.

That piece of legislation would change the definition of some items for tax purposes, and the upshot is that certain businesses will get a break on property taxes and — you guessed it! — the load likely will end up being passed on to residential homeowners, farm land and small businesses.

At issue are items that for 100 years have been classified as “fixtures.” Heretofore, if an item was a fixture, it was part of real property for tax purposes. If you’re scratching your head, an example of a fixture within a structure would be the heating and air conditioning equipment. This bill would reclassify certain fixtures and in effect move them from taxable status to tax-exempt personal property. Elevators, loading platforms and the like would be reclassified, the county association warns.

The state’s property valuation division has provided information estimating that in Montgomery County, 54 percent of the tax base would be shifted. In McPherson County, it would be 24 percent. In Douglas County it would be only 0.18 of a percent.

Here are the changes for other area counties: Leavenworth, 0.3 of a percent; Franklin, 1.09 percent; Jefferson, 0.77 of a percent; Johnson, 0.1 of a percent, Osage, 1.92 percent, and Shawnee, 0.6 of a percent.

Statewide, the change would be 1.92 percent. According to the county association, the state budget division indicates the bill would cause a loss of nearly $583 million in assessed valuation — translating into a statewide loss of $76 million of property taxes and a loss of $11.7 million for the Brownback budget.

Where is that money going to come from? Hint: Look in the mirror, then look at your checkbook.

This would be as palatable as insisting that you take the chains off your car tires and then expecting you to drive up 14th Street to the top of Mount Oread before the snow and ice are cleared.

There’s simply no compelling reason for making this change in state law.

WASHINGTON — Progressives are remarkably uninterested in progress. Social Security is 78 years old and myriad social improvements have added 17 years to life expectancy since 1935, yet progressives insist the program remain frozen, like a fly in amber. Medicare is 48 years old and the competence and role of medicine have been transformed since 1965, yet progressives cling to Medicare “as we know it.” And they say the Voting Rights Act, another 48-yearold, must remain unchanged, despite dramatic improvements in race relations.

The question concerning which the Supreme Court heard oral arguments last Wednesday was whether Section 5 of the VRA is still constitutional, given the disappearance of the conditions that once made it acceptable as a temporary and emergency truncation of states’ sovereignty under federalism. In 2008, two years after the fourth renewal of the act, Barack Obama won a higher percentage of the white vote than did Al Gore and John Kerry in 2000 and 2004, respectively. Today Mississippi has more black elected officials — not more per capita, more — than any other state.

Yet defenders of the continuing necessity of Section 5 merely shrug about the fact that race is no longer a barrier to either the nation’s highest office or to state and local offices in what once was the state most emblematic of re-

The question concerning which the Supreme Court heard oral arguments last Wednesday was whether Section 5 of the VRA is still constitutional, given the disappearance of the conditions that once made it acceptable …” sistance to racial equality.

Last Wednesday, Chief Justice John Roberts, noting that Massachusetts has the worst rate of white turnout compared with that of blacks, and that Mississippi has the best, asked Solicitor General Donald Verrilli: “Is it the government’s submission that the citizens in the South are more racist than citizens in the North?” Verrilli said no. His answer was obviously false.

Otherwise, the administration would favor extending Section 5 to the entire nation.

Justice Anthony Kennedy asked Verrilli why the government, which purports to believe both that the VRA

remains necessary and that there are not regional differences in racism, does not want to make the VRA universally applicable. Verrilli replied that “history remains relevant” and Congress considered it “prudent” in 2006 to maintain Section 5’s “deterrent and constraining effect.”

It was prudent, and history is relevant, only if the citizens of the South remain more racist than the citizens of the North.

Verrilli did not deny that Section 5 takes a toll on federalism. Kennedy, whose vote is apt to be decisive, described the toll disapprovingly as a federal “trusteeship” over the covered states and jurisdictions.

Citing the Marshall Plan and other excellent laws that were not necessary forever, Kennedy said: “Times change.”

Not for progressives, they don’t. Section 5 was enacted as a temporary response to many measures employed, primarily in the South, to disenfranchise minorities. It requires nine states and some jurisdictions in others to get federal permission — “pre-clearance” — for even minor changes in voting procedures. It has been extended four times, most recently in 2006 for 25 years.

The 2006 House vote was 390-33, the Senate vote was 98-0; obviously, the political class’s piety about the act has extinguished thought about its necessity. But one reason for judicial review — for active judicial engagement in the protection of constitutional rights and arrangements — is

that the political class, with its majoritarian temptations, cannot be trusted to do so.

In 1982, Section 2 of the VRA was amended to say that the act is violated whenever nomination and election processes “are not equally open to participation” by minority voters.

And equality of participation is said to be denied whenever minority voters “have less opportunity than other members of the electorate to ... elect representatives of their choice.”

And representatives “of their choice” has been construed to mean representatives who are members of the same minority. This expresses two tenets of progressivism’s racialism.

One is identity politics: Your race is your political identity.

The other is categorical representation: Members of a race can be understood and represented only by members of this race. By this reasoning the VRA has become an instrument for what Roberts has hitherto called “a sordid business, this divvying us up by race.”

Each renewal of the 1965 act should have involved sifting the most recent voting results, but the most recent data used in 2006 was from 1972. By 2031, this data will be 59 years old. Unless the court now stops this pernicious silliness, in 2031 Section 5 will no doubt be renewed a fifth time, perhaps for 34 years, through the centennial of this temporary measure.

OLD HOME TOWN

100

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for March 4, 1913: “The voters of Vinland YEARS school district number 49 AGO Saturday voted against IN 1913 the proposed consolidation of the school district with others in that neighborhood into one large district with a central school.

The vote stood 41 against and 31 for the change. The chief objection to the change is that it necessitates a very early start for children far away from the school and keeps them away from home until late at night. Some of the children affected by the change would have had to have gone from 8 to 10 miles to the proposed central school.”

Afghan women fear U.S. withdrawal Last week, Georgetown University inaugurated a new Institute for Women, Peace, and Security to research the role of women in mitigating global conflicts.

The institute was first announced by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who made promotion of women’s rights a signature part of her tenure. Clinton funded aid programs to train women leaders in developing countries for government, civil society, and peace negotiations. Ambassador Melanne Verveer, who will head the Georgetown institute — and ran Clinton’s office for Global Women’s Issues — clearly hopes to build on that legacy in her new role.

The inaugural ceremony showcased the role many brave women are already playing in fighting violence in developing countries. It also revealed why the Clinton legacy may be shaped by what happens to women in Afghanistan.

On the one hand, it was impossible not to be moved by the quiet presence of Zin Mar Aung, who served 11 years (of a 28-year sentence) in a tiny jail cell for handing out student pamphlets in support of Burmese opposition leader and Nobel winner Aung San Suu Kyi. Aung now trains women in political activism in hopes they can gain a role in politics and in peace talks with rebel minorities.

And it was hard to fathom the steely courage of Gua-

So what can concerned Americans do to help Afghan women continue to progress? Nehan stressed that they should stop thinking of these women as victims.”

temalan Attorney General Claudia Paz y Paz, who confronted head-on the endemic murders of women in her country — known as “femicide” — that reflect a culture of machismo degraded by decades of violent war.

But when Afghan activist Nargis Nehan, the founder of a nongovernmental organization pushing for peace and democracy, took the stage, I couldn’t help remembering Clinton’s pledge in July that “the United States will continue to stand strongly by the women of Afghanistan.”

This is a pledge I wonder how and whether the United States will keep.

Since the Taliban’s fall, the life span of Afghan women

soared, maternal mortality dropped, and three million girls attended school, up from nearly zero. Women can work and go to university, and in major cities venture out in head scarves, not the all-enveloping burqa.

But Nehan was worried about what will happen after U.S. troops exit the country in 2014.

“What is (feared),” she said, “is that a peace settlement will happen that will actually ... threaten all the achievements we have had with the support of the international community. That’s the threat we see for ourselves.”

Nehan was referring to nascent peace feelers between the Afghan government’s Higher Peace Committee and the Taliban, and also to on-again, off-again efforts by the Obama administration to start talks with the Taliban.

While Afghan women are granted 25 percent of parliamentary seats and played a prominent role in last year’s Tokyo donors’ conference, their representation in the Higher Peace Committee is minimal. And Afghan President Hamid Karzai is wobbly on women’s rights.

So Afghan women wonder whether the United States will help them preserve their gains.

In an interview, Verveer said frankly, “To me, Afghanistan is the primary laboratory” for the institute’s work.

She said Afghan women tell her, “We have made more

progress in 10 years than in the past 50 years.” But these women also worry that when the U.S. or Afghans sit “with the enemy, women won’t be present, or that deals will be made without their participation. One thing that every Afghan woman I speak to says is, ‘Don’t push us back.’

“They also say they can’t believe the international community and the United States will allow that to happen. On the one hand, they fear; on the other, they hope.”

So what can concerned Americans do to help Afghan women continue to progress? Nehan stressed that they should stop thinking of these women as victims.

“We have demonstrated our leadership capacity,” she insisted. So offering further training to proven women leaders will help them advance their cause.

“We need a long-term commitment for education and support from the international community,” she insisted.

“Without that, it will be very difficult to sustain our gains.”

Finally, Western donors can stick to their redlines, laid down at the Tokyo conference, that any future aid to whichever Afghan government holds power will depend on continuing gains for women. Whether we stick to those redlines will determine whether Clinton’s promises to Afghan women hold true.

Ben McLemore plays his 17th and final game in Allen Fieldhouse tonight, a freshman on Senior Night and the best player in the building, with the possible exception of his potential replacement, visiting recruit Andrew Wiggins.

Too in demand to play more than one season of college basketball, McLemore certainly has made the most of it and plays as if he relishes every Allen Fieldhouse moment.

You get out of something what you put into it, and to get an idea of how deeply invested McLemore has been in his one season as a college basketball player, consider what he will take from it.

For starters, he has made friends for life in his teammates. He has become more comfortable speaking in public, his game has improved to the extent he ranks No. 1 on many NBA Draft projections, and he has a legitimate shot to help his team win a national championship.

Plus, he’ll have no shortage of fieldhouse memories keeping him company forever. McLemore scored 33 points in the Iowa State game he sent into overtime by banking in a three-pointer. He torched Kansas State for 30 points in a blowout of Big 12 co-leaders, and he broke Danny Manning’s freshman school record with 36 points Saturday against West Virginia.

That’s 99 points in three games in which he attempted just a combined 40 field goals, making 31. He hit 17 of 23 threes and 20 of 22 free throws.

In 16 games in Allen Fieldhouse, McLemore has averaged 19.3 points, shot 53 percent overall and 49 percent from three-point range.

In nine true road games, McLemore has averaged 12.9 points and shot 44 percent overall and 28 percent from three, despite a strong game in the first one, at Ohio State.

But his road blues don’t qualify as cause for panic.

Kansas has played four games on courts that were neither team’s regular home, three at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, one in Atlanta, against Michigan State. In those games, McLemore has averaged 14.3 points, shot 52 percent both overall and from three-point range.

KU’s first two NCAA Tournament games likely will be played in the Sprint Center.

Besides, far more than the site of Saturday’s game influenced McLemore’s scoring outburst.

“He did a good job reading screens today, but we also did a good job screening for him,” KU coach Bill Self said. “... We ran some stuff to make sure to give Ben the first opportunity to get some looks. We need to probably do more of that. We’ve done it, but he’s starting to understand more how to free himself.”

It’s quite possible the No. 1 overall picks in the next two NBA drafts will be in attendance tonight.

If Wiggins likes what he sees and decides to come to Kansas, that would give the Jayhawks, who haven’t had the No. 1 overall selection since Manning in 1988, two in a row. Wiggins, a 6-foot-7, 200-pound wing, tops all the 2014 NBA Draft projections.

Finale four

Four seniors to say fieldhouse farewell

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

For Elijah Johnson, four years of college basketball have passed in the blink of an eye.

“Sometimes I think, in order, freshman, sophomore, junior, senior ... it’s a big blur,” Johnson, Kansas University’s 6-foot-4, 195-pound senior point guard out of Las Vegas Cheyenne High, said of his days as a Jayhawk.

“Once it starts, it never stops. It makes me appreciate it. This is a good place to be. I wouldn’t go back and go anywhere else.”

210-pound Kansas City native Releford said of KU and Lawrence. “It’s gone by so fast. I’ll miss this place, but I think it’s about that time. The end has to come.”

Releford, who red-shirted in 2009-10, is completing a five-year KU career. He’s approaching the 1,000-point scoring standard (he has 880) that coach Bill Self predicted for him at the team banquet following Releford’s red-shirt season.

“When he said that, I said, ‘Wow, that’s crazy,’” the former Roeland Park Bishop Miege standout said. “It was like, ‘How can I get that many points if I’m not playing?’ As “This is a time went on, I thought, ‘This great place to play, a great guy knows what he’s talking place to be and live,” 6-6, about.’”

Withey, a transfer from the University of Arizona, played 31⁄2 seasons at KU, and Young, a transfer from Loyola Marymount, the past two campaigns.

“I’ve enjoyed the process,” said Withey. The 7-foot, 235-pounder from San Diego’s Horizon High, has gone from being a seldom-used pivot his freshman and sophomore seasons to KU’s all-time leading shot blocker thanks to dominant defensive play his junior and senior campaigns.

“I had some growing pains for sure, taking a little bit of time to get used to the speed of the game in college,” Withey said. “When I was younger, I thought I would have just Please see SENIORS, page 6B

Mighty BVNW awaits Free State boys

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

What Free State High’s boys basketball team has known since it beat Olathe East on Friday night for a Class 6A sub-state championship became official Sunday: The Firebirds will face the state tournament’s No. 1 seed, unbeaten Blue Valley Northwest, in the first round Wednesday at Wichita.

KSHSAA revealed the brackets for all the state tournaments Sunday morning. Owners of the lowest winning percentage among state-qualifying teams, the Firebirds knew they would draw 6A’s top team. No. 8 seed FSHS (11-11) and No. 1 BVNW (22-0) will open the 6A boys tournament at Koch Arena at 3 p.m., with three more first-round games to follow.

Free State’s run to Wichita wasn’t expected by many outside of the program. Most thought O-East would win its sub-state bracket and end the Firebirds’ season.

FSHS coach Chuck Law said confidence never wavered, though, within Free State’s circle.

“There was a real belief,” Law said after Free State’s 45-44 win at O-East, “that we could come in and win.

“The credit goes to the kids,” he added. “They did the job.”

The next task in front of the Firebirds won’t be easy.

BVNW hasn’t lost since last season’s state championship game, when Wichita Heights won their fourth consecutive 6A title by beating the Huskies. BVNW has lost two games in the past two seasons

Thompson captures first PGA title PALM BEACH GARDENS, FLA. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Michael Thompsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dream of winning his first PGA Tour event was walking up the final fairway with a big lead and very little stress.

The reality was much different Sunday in the Honda Classic.

He had a one-shot lead as he stood in the 18th fairway, some 240 yards from the flag with trouble in the way in the shape of large lake.

The motto from his golf team at Alabama was to â&#x20AC;&#x153;finish strong,â&#x20AC;? and Thompson did just that.

Instead of lay- Thompson ing up, he drilled a 5-wood into the bunker left of the green, setting up a simple sand shot and a birdie he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even need. He closed with a 1-under 69, one of only five rounds under par on a punishing day at PGA National to finally become a PGA Tour winner.

Female kicker tries out for NFL

By Steven Marcus Newsday

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; It was history making, but perhaps not as historic as the NFL or its first female participant in a talent search may have envisioned.

Lauren Silberman, a 28-year-old New Yorker, bowed out Sunday after two short kickoff attempts from midfield in the New YorkNew Jersey regional combine.

Silberman, who said her athletic resume consisted mainly of playing club soccer at the University of Wisconsin, was among approximately 40 hopefuls at the Jetsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; training facility in what was basically an open tryout for those not invited to the combine last month in Indianapolis.

Women have played samegender tackle football, and there have been female kickers on college teams. The NFL announced in 2011 that women would be eligible to play in the league starting with the 2012 season.

Many of Silbermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s male counterparts boomed the ball into the end zone from midfield, but her attempts were more like onside kicks, dribbling an estimated 19 and 13 yards. She never made it to the field-goal competition, ending her trial after what she said was a flare-up of a quadriceps injury. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always been an athlete, always been a gamer,â&#x20AC;? the 5-6 Silberman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I had the opportunity to be in the NFL, one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most competitive leagues, I absolutely had to take the chance. I know I can do a lot more, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too bad. I have to do whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right for my body.

They certainly didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go as far as they were in practices, but I tried to work through the pain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The distance wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there; hopefully, the scouts will notice my technique. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not always length.â&#x20AC;?

Silberman did not address how much she practiced, or how far her kicks traveled there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still hard to exactly say.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten better day by day, the distance is getting there.â&#x20AC;?

Entrants paid $275 to attend the combine. There is no ability equation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to miss anybody,â&#x20AC;? Austin said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;so who am I to assume that any particular demographic isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worth looking at? We treat all the applicants equally.â&#x20AC;?

Former Giants punter Sean Landeta said of Silberman: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chasing her dream. Not only has it never been done, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never been tried.

If there was ever a position that a female could do, placekicker would be the position.â&#x20AC;?

Silberman did not rule out trying again in the future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I might be the first woman trying out for the NFL,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I certainly hope that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not the last.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;That for me kind of sealed the deal,â&#x20AC;? Thompson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It allowed me to walk up the fairway and enjoy the experience, see the crowd and ... just finish strong.â&#x20AC;?

The start wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bad, either.

Thompson holed a 50-foot eagle putt on the third hole, relied on a superb short game around the toughest part of the golf course to build a four-shot lead, and hung on for a two-shot win over Geoff Ogilvy that takes him places he always wanted to be.

He gets into his first World Golf Championship next week at Doral, and qualifies for two more WGCs this year at Firestone and in Shanghai. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the PGA Championship, gets to start next year in Hawaii and earned a two-year exemption on the PGA Tour.

And to think just two weeks ago he was so down after a 7880 performance at Riviera that he wondered if he would ever make another cut. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This week was magical,â&#x20AC;?

Thompson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just had a groove and kept feeling it.â&#x20AC;?

It turned out to be a big week for Ogilvy, too.

The former U.S. Open champion missed his past four cuts and had plunged to No. 79 in the world ranking. He already missed the Match Play Championship and was ready to miss another WGC next week at Doral until putting together four solid rounds.

He chipped in for birdie behind the 16th green and twoputted for birdie on the 18th for a 69 to finish alone in second, moving him up to No. 47 to get into Doral. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I kind of penciled in a week off,â&#x20AC;? Ogilvy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice, and it gets me back in the mix for the Masters.â&#x20AC;?

Ogilvy has to stay in the top 50 by the end of the month to return to Augusta National. For now, he has smaller problems â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he only packed enough for this week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to have to go do some laundry,â&#x20AC;? Ogilvy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I

havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t got a hotel room for tonight. But half the tour lives in this area, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure I can find somewhere to stay.â&#x20AC;?

Luke Guthrie, tied with Thompson for the 54-hole lead, fell behind with a bogey on the second hole and closed with a 73 to finish third.

Tiger Woods was never in the picture. He started the final round eight shots behind, and whatever hopes he had of a rally ended on the sixth hole when he hit his drive so far to the right that the ball was never found.

Woods took double bogey, and only an eagle on the final hole kept the damage to a minimum. He closed with a 74 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; his first time since the Masters last year that he failed to break par in any round of a 72-hole tournament â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and tied for 37th.

Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland fell to a tie for 68th place with a closinground 76. Woodland finished 11over par after starting the first two rounds 6-under.

Edwards heels over head about victory in Phoenix AVONDALE, ARIZ. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Carl Edwards climbed from his car, stood on the door and landed a backflip near the finish line. He then hopped up on the wall in front of the grandstand, grabbed the checkered flag and waded into the crowd, trading high-fives with fans.

After a miserable week at Daytona, Edwards had plenty to celebrate.

That it came at Phoenix International Raceway only seemed fitting.

Coming through on his promise to dominate after his Daytona disaster, Edwards pulled away on a late restart and snapped a 70-race winless streak on Sunday, the second long drought he has ended at Phoenix. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This win feels as good or better as any win Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever had,â&#x20AC;? Edwards said.

Edwards had a rough 2012 season, missing the Chase for the championship. His downward spiral continued at Daytona, where he wrecked five cars. On his way out of Florida, Edwards said he was ready to dominate and win at Phoenix.

He did just that, leading the final 78 laps on the 312-lap race around PIRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s odd-shaped oval in the first non-restrictor-plate race with NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new Gen-6 car.

Edwards got a good push from defending Sprint Cup champion Brad Keselowski on the restart with two laps left and pulled away from there, winning for the first time since Las Vegas in 2011.

After parking his car at the finish line, Edwards landed his first backflip in nearly two years and celebrated with the fans â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just like he did at PIR after ending another 70-race winless streak in 2010. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a relief for someone like Carl,â&#x20AC;? said Denny Hamlin, who finished third and had a long winless streak end at Phoenix last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now relevant again, he really is and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good sign for their race team for things to come.â&#x20AC;?

The big duel came behind Edwards.

Despite struggling with his car most of the day, Hamlin made a bold move on the last lap with a pass on the apron below the dogleg. He popped up alongside Daytona 500 winner Jimmie Johnson and the two drag-raced to the finish, where Johnson edged him by a few inches.

Keselowski, who was outside Johnson during Hamlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s move, finished fourth, and Dale Earnhardt Jr. ended up fifth.

Mushers begin 41st Iditarod

WILLOW, ALASKA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Dogs aching to run bolted out of the chute Sunday to launch the 41st running of Alaskaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race.

Now 65 teams will be making their way through punishing wilderness toward the finish line in Nome on Alaskaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s western coast 1,000 miles away.

The Iditarod kicked off Saturday with an 11-mile jaunt through Anchorage, 50 miles south of the real starting line in the town of Willow. Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event marked the competitive portion of the race.

Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ceremonial start took place amid a party-like atmosphere. But Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mood was charged with tension as mushers switched to the business of racing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at least among top mushers like defending champion Dallas Seavey and four-time winners Lance Mackey, Jeff King and Martin Buser.

K-State, Kansas in stretch run for title The Associated Press

The first time that Kansas State coach Bruce Weber approached Bill Snyder about speaking to his team, Snyder, the ‘ol football coach, jokingly said that the Wildcats were playing too well and that he didn’t want to mess things up.

After a loss to rival Kansas University, Weber tried again.

“I came back and just asked, ‘Coach, could you have 15 minutes to talk to the guys,’” Weber recalled recently. “We’ve had different people throughout the year speak. Obviously the kids really respect him. He’s an icon on this campus, in this state and really in the country, so they were very attentive, and he was very right to the point.”

Snyder told the basketball team that one of the biggest reasons that his Wildcats won a surprising Big 12 title this season is that they followed the philosophy of being 1-0 every week.

Never look past the next game. Think only about what’s ahead.

“We’ve kind of followed that philosophy,” Weber said. “If you’re 1-0, you stay in first every time.

We’ve been able to do that since he talked to us.”

It took some doing Saturday night, when Baylor threw a full-court inbound pass out of bounds to give the Wildcats the ball under the Bears’ basket with a second left. Rodney McGruder got an open look at the top of the key and buried a buzzer-beating threepointer to steal the win.

It left No. 13 Kansas State (24-5, 13-3) tied with the sixth-ranked Jayhawks (25-4, 13-3), who pounded West Virginia on Saturday, for first place with two games remaining.

The Wildcats host bottom-dweller TCU on Tuesday night before finishing at No. 15 Oklahoma State, which is a game back in third place. The Jayhawks should have an easier finish with a home game against Texas Tech tonight and a visit to Baylor on Saturday.

The Wildcats have won five straight since Snyder addressed the team, and now have their eyes on at least sharing their first regular-season conference title since 1977.

They would become the third school to have their football team win the Big

12 title and their basketball team a regular-season crown in the same season since the league started in 1996 — Texas did it in 2005-06 and Oklahoma the year before, though the Sooners also twice won football titles and Big 12 basketball tournaments in the same season.

“When they won it, that’s the first thing I thought about,” the Wildcats’ Martavious Irving said of the football team.

“It’s pressure, and we’re pretty good, even though we’ve got a new coaching staff. I was thinking, ‘Now it’s kind of like we’ve got to win it, too.’”

The Wildcats have had no shortage of success in recent seasons, making three straight trips to the NCAA tournament. But they’re also aware of their

conference championship drought.

“You look up on that wall, you see the last time that we were conference champions was 1977,” McGruder said. “That was a long time ago. I wasn’t even thought of. It just goes to show that we have a chance to accomplish something great.”

The Jayhawks are far more accustomed to such greatness.

After blitzing the Mountaineers on Saturday behind a career-best 36 points from Ben McLemore, Kansas is closing in on at least a share of its ninth consecutive conference title.

To put into historical perspective, only four schools have won more in a row: UCLA won 13 Pac8 and Pac-10 titles in the 1960s and ‘70s, Gonzaga

won 11 straight in the West Coast before last season, UConn won 10 Yankee titles from 1951-61, and UNLV won the Big West every year from 1983-93.

The Jayhawks would be assured of matching Idaho State of the Rocky Mountain (1953-62) and Kentucky in the SEC (1944-53) if they manage to win their final two regular-season games.

“We just have to focus on what is in front of us right now,” McLemore said. “Our focus is just to go out there and play ball.”

For now, both teams are focusing on two games for all the laurels.

“We don’t have to worry about our record now,” Irving said. “We just worry about winning the day, and winning the next game that’s on the schedule.”

Gordon homers; Royals win GOODYEAR, ARIZ. (AP) — Alex Gordon insists his swing still needs refining even though his spring training statistics indicate it is just fine.

Gordon homered, Mike Moustakas stroked two doubles to raise his average to .579 and the Kansas City Royals beat the Cincinnati Reds 8-1 Sunday to remain undefeated in 10 spring training games.

Gordon is hitting .500, but the home run to rightcenter off Tony Cingrani was his first extra-base hit.

“I was taking a lot of pitches early on,” Gordon said. “I just decided if I get a first pitch fastball I was going to go after it, and I put a pretty good swing on it. It feels good to get a good swing.

“I really haven’t been swinging it too well even though my numbers might show it, but I really haven’t felt that good,” Gordon added. “That definitely felt better to have a result like that.”

Gordon, who has won back-to-back Gold Gloves, led the majors with 51 doubles last season.

Free State CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

and won all but two of its games this season by double digits.

But Law, whose Firebirds entered the 2007 state tournament 11-11 and finished third after knocking off Shawnee Mission West in the first round, said records don’t matter at state, because all eight teams have proven they are among the best in Kansas. And, just like before Free State’s sub-state championship, few outside the program expect FSHS to win.

Law said. “We’re playing with the house’s money.”

Free State senior forward Cody Scott said he and his teammates heard from some before their win at O-East that the Hawks were the better team and they should get ready to clean out their lockers because their season was about to end.

“We weren’t gonna listen to them,” Scott said. “We knew that we had this.”

After the Firebirds advanced to state for the fifth time in program history and the first time in six years, junior forward Cole Moreano said they could enjoy that accomplishment until about midnight Friday, then start worrying about BVNW.

about feeling good and feeling comfortable and that’s where I’m trying to get. I’m not there yet. We still have a month left, so I’ll just keep going at it.”

The Royals improved to 9-0-1, the only undefeated team in the majors this spring.

“That’s pretty impressive,” Gordon said. “We might as well go out and try to win a game and that’s what we’re doing.

Hopefully we can continue it and carry that over.”

Moustakas doubled in the fourth and scored on Max Ramirez’s single. Gordon led off the fifth with a single, stole second and scored on Moustakas’ double.

Royals right-hander Wade Davis pitched three scoreless innings, allowing two hits and striking out three. He has pitched five scoreless innings in winning his first two starts.

“I’m throwing my changeup more,” Davis said. “I probably threw 10 today and I had a couple of ground balls and some bad swings on it. That’s a good thing. I’m definitely encouraged by that.”

The Royals got three consecutive pinch-hit singles from Christian Colon, Xavier Nady and Brandon Wood in a four-run sixth.

Reds starter right-hander Homer Bailey allowed one single in two scoreless innings, logging five of his six outs by strikeout.

“It could be six out of six.” Bailey said and laughed. “Strikeouts kind of come and go. I don’t worry about those too much. I like outs. I still try to strike everybody out.

If they happen to put it in play in the first couple of pitches, I don’t quite get there.

“I’d like to have a few first pitch strikes, a couple of them missed by a little bit,” Bailey said. “But I guess overall, pretty good.

Other than that once we got into the at-bat, it came back. I pitched well.”

Notes: Royals INF Elliot Johnson is expected to return Tuesday after missing four games due to a bruised knee. … Royals LHP Everett Teaford, who has not pitched because of a sore shoulder, will throw batting practice Tuesday.

“We’ve just got to keep this thing going, hopefully,” he said.

Kansas softball stops Stony Brook J-W Staff Reports

RALEIGH, N.C. — Alicia Pille walked none and struck out a season-best 12 in a complete-game four-hitter as Kansas University softball beat Stony Brook, 7-1, on Sunday at Curtis and Jacqueline Dail Softball Stadium.

KU (14-5) went 4-1 over the weekend, outscoring opponents 58-6 while hitting .457 as a team.

After taking the loss to North Carolina State on Saturday night, Pille allowed just one run — a solo homer in the top of the fourth.

“That’s why we put her back out there,” KU coach Megan Smith said. “We wanted to challenge her today and see if she could come out and redeem herself. I thought she threw extremely well. She was more poised in the circle

“

Offensively, we had a great weekend.

I couldn’t be more pleased with our offense.”

— KU coach Megan Smith and she really attacked their hitters, which is what she needed to do.”

The Jayhawks worked steadily through the opening innings, scoring in each of the first three to climb to a 7-0 lead by the end of the third. Kansas did so without the use of a home run, manufacturing three runs via sacrifice flies and another off a fielder’schoice groundout.

Maggie Hull paced the KU offense, going 3-for-4 with a runs and two RBIs and now has 124 RBIs for her career. She’s in second

place on the KU-career RBI chart, trailing only Liz Kocon (135). Current teammate Mariah Montgomery is third with 119.

“Offensively, we had a great weekend,” Smith said. “I couldn’t be more pleased with our offense.

We could still get more clutch hits here and there, but overall, we’re getting a lot of people on base and seeing some really good things from our hitters right now.”

Kansas will travel Friday to Boca Raton, Fla., for the Florida Atlantic Tournament. The Jayhawks will meet Eastern Michigan, Michigan State, Ball State, Louisiana-Monroe and host Florida Atlantic.

MICHIGAN FORWARD GLENN ROBINSON III (1) TRIES TO DRAW A CHARGE from Michigan State center Adreian Payne, right, during Michigan’s 58-57 victory Sunday in Ann Arbor, Mich.

TOP 25 ROUNDUP

Michigan steals one from MSU The Associated Press

No. 4 Michigan 58, No. 9 Michigan State 57 ANN ARBOR, MICH. — A 10-point lead had slipped away in the final minutes, and it looked like the best Trey Burke and Michigan could hope for was another chance in overtime.

Then the star point guard decided to gamble, reaching in and knocking the ball away from Michigan State’s Keith Appling with the game on the line.

“I take my eyes off it for a second to see their formation, and there’s Trey going down the other end,” Wolverines coach John Beilein said.

Burke’s steal and dunk put Michigan ahead by two with 22 seconds remaining, and the Wolverines held on for a pulsating victory over Michigan State on Sunday. Burke had 21 points and eight assists, and he had enough energy left down the stretch to help Michigan to a much-needed victory.

The Wolverines avenged a 75-52 loss at Michigan State last month — and they rebounded from Wednesday night’s stunning defeat at Penn State with an inspired performance at home.

The Spartans (22-7, 11-5 Big Ten) had the ball with the shot clock off and the score 56-all, but Burke stole the ball from Appling near midcourt and went in alone for the game’s last field goal.

“I really wasn’t pressuring him as hard as I felt like I could, the whole game,” Burke said. “I tried to turn him as many times as possible. The one time I did turn him, he kept the ball out, so I just went after it. If I was going to miss it, then I was going to be out of the play.”

Instead, he ended up with a dunk, giving Michigan (24-5, 11-5) the lead. Michigan State’s Derrick Nix was fouled with 8.8 seconds left, but he missed the first free throw. After he made the second, the Spartans fouled Michigan freshman Mitch McGary, who missed the front end of a 1-and-1.

Michigan State called a timeout with 4.9 seconds left but never got a shot off.

The Michigan State loss clinched at least a share of the Big Ten title for Indiana.

Cavaliers waive ex-KU guard Selby CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday released former Kansas University guard Josh Selby, whom they acquired in the deal with the Memphis Grizzlies that also brought Mo Speights and Wayne Ellington to Cleveland.

Selby was immediately assigned to the NBA Development League’s Canton Charge and never appeared in a game for the Cavs.

He averaged 15.3 points and 4.2 assists in 11 games (eight starts) with the Charge.

Selby was drafted 49th overall by the Grizzlies in the 2011 draft. He averaged 2.2 points, 0.9 assists and 7.8 minutes in 38 NBA appearances in two seasons.

The Cavs now have an open roster spot, but are expected to use it as a tryout for players on 10day contracts. It won’t be used on Greg Oden, who is leaning toward waiting until the summer before signing with an NBA team.

Heat 99, Knicks 93 NEW YORK — LeBron James had 29 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists, and Miami tied a franchise record with its 14th straight victory, rallying to beat New York.

Dwyane Wade added 20 points for the Heat, who had to overcome a 16-point deficit to beat the Knicks for the first time in three tries this season.

Chris Bosh bounced back from a dismal first half to finish with 16 points.

The defending NBA champions won their sixth straight on the road by controlling the final minutes against a team that had a pair of 20-point victories over them this season and looked ready to run them out of the building again.

But James shook off a third-quarter leg injury and was back in top form by the finish, putting it away by coming up with a steal and throwing down a dunk with 23 seconds left.

Carmelo Anthony scored 32 points for the Knicks.

been in San Diego (all his life). After I started growing and playing basketball, I obviously saw this sport can give me a lot of opportunities. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been blessed with the opportunities at hand. I transferred here, and everybody accepted me. I love it (KU) so much.â&#x20AC;?

Young, who most expected would be a super sub, emerged as a starter who definitely proved he could compete at the Big 12 level. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My goal has been to provide energy in games and practice, try to make everybody around me better,â&#x20AC;? the 6-8, 190-pound forward out of Perris (Calif.) High said. He loves Lawrence so much he helped convince his mom, Alicia, and brother, Donovan, to move to Lawrence for his final semester of college, knowing theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like it here, too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With our senior class, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all been about leadership, trying to help the young guys.

THE FOUR SENIORS, FROM LEFT, ELIJAH JOHNSON, KEVIN YOUNG, Jeff Withey and Travis Releford represented Kansas at Big 12 Media Day on Oct. 17, 2012, at Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll make their final Allen Fieldhouse appearance tonight. pretty cool to have guys that bust their butt for four or five years and get to their senior year, they just want to win, so they want our young kids to do well.â&#x20AC;?

KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four seniors possess the talent to play basketball for a living, Self said. Withey, who along with Johnson has a 12517 record at KU (.880), is expected to be tapped in the first round of the 2013 NBA Draft. Johnson has been mentioned as a possible second-round pick.

One could envision both Releford (152-25 record, .859) and Young (57-11 record, .838) getting looks in NBA summer league ball if they are not selected in the second round. Europe also is a strong possibility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are going to play

ball next year,â&#x20AC;? Self said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their whole focus is leaving a legacy. I think they want to be the team that has done something special because there are so many special teams that have been there before them, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be judged over time (how they perform in Big 12 and NCAAs). I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little bit different for them, but I know that they all respect each other, immensely, as they are going through the process.â&#x20AC;?

Johnson said the seniors do not think of each other as elder statesmen, but just four pieces of a 16-person team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a special group,â&#x20AC;?

Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not the most talented, but definitely one of the toughest. I

think we can do something a lot of teams werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to do. Although we had three and four lottery picks on certain teams, I think this team can do something we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been able to do before.â&#x20AC;?

This, that: Andrew Wiggins, the No. 1 prospect in the high school recruiting class of 2013, will attend tonightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game as part of his official recruiting visit.

The 6-7 senior from Huntington (W.Va.) Prep, who arrived in Lawrence with his parents Sunday afternoon, is considering KU, Kentucky, North Carolina and Florida State. ...

Clean the hardware with a good metal-cleaning compound and reinstall the bright, shiny hardware for a new look.

645 N.H. (News Center) Lawrence, KS 66044 (785) 843-1000

LINDA COTTIN

Remove paint from cabinet and door hardware

M

ultiple layers of paint can interfere with the functionality and beauty of cabinet and door

hardware.

Removing paint from old metal hardware can be a daunting task, unless you add some hot water into the mix.

Step 1: Facilitate hardware removal by using a carton knife to cut around the edges of each piece. Cut away dried paint from inside the screw heads to allow the screwdriver to seat completely into the head.

Step 2: Once the hardware has been removed, place the painted hardware into an old cooking pot on the stove, or better yet, place the hardware into an electric slow cooker.

Step 3: Fill the pot or slow cooker with enough water to completely submerge the cabinet hardware.

Step 4: Add a tablespoon or two of liquid dish soap to the water.

Step 5: Bring the water on the stove to a slow simmer or turn the slow cooker on low.

Step 6: Allow the hardware to simmer for at least 4 to 6 hours, or allow the slow cooker to stew for 24 hours.

Step 7: Remove the hardware from the hot water and allow the metal to cool slightly.

Step 8: Ideally, the paint should slide off the metal hardware. If not, remove any loose paint and place the hardware back in the water and “cook” for a longer period of time.

Step 9: Use a soft-bristle brush or a green scrubbing pad to remove any remaining traces of paint.

Step 10: Clean the hardware with a good metal-cleaning compound and reinstall the bright, shiny hardware for a new look.

GO-GETTER

BY REBEKKA SCHLICHTING

TRY: BOXING

S

wimsuit season is on its way, so now is the time to get in shape.

Boxing is a great workout that also teaches fighting techniques, which can be useful for self-defense or fun in the boxing ring.

GETTING STARTED You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be in great shape to start a boxing class; you just have to be determined to get in shape.

Punch Boxing and Fitness has a monthly rate for all classes at $59 for adults and $35 for students, which includes from 5 years old to college age. The first class is free.

Title Boxing Club also has one free class. It does not have an available pricing list.

WHERE TO GO

Haskell Boxing Club has boxing

Boxing is a vigorous workout. In fact, Title Boxing Club has a fitness class called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Power Hourâ&#x20AC;? where you can burn up to 1,000 calories in one hour.

classes on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

COST

Punch, 4931 West Sixth St., has at

Free to $59 a month.

least one boxing class every day and a family class on Sundays at noon.

Some gyms prefer that you buy your own hand wraps.

SPRING FORWARD: GET A JUMP ON FASHION TRENDS

BY JULIE GALLEGO, THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER

S

ANA, CALIF. — It has been cold lately, but soon enough the weather will warm and you’ll want a pop of spring to relieve the weariness of your wintery black wardrobe.

But which of the many spring trends — cropped jackets, graphic black and white, vibrant color mixes and global print-apaloozas — do you choose to get you through the winter blues?

“Spring ‘13 trends offer something for everyone,” says David Wolfe, creative director of The Doneger Group, a New Yorkbased retail and fashion consultant.

“There are a great many directions happening all at once with each designer/label offering looks that are true to themselves.

Colorful and optimistic sums it all up, very possibly a reaction to a world fraught with problems and disasters. Fashion is acting as an escape mechanism.”

And gone are the days when you saw something on a runway in October and waited half a year for the trend to hit your mall. With the Internet — and the thousands of fashion bloggers and self-appointed stylists it has spawned — couture trends translate much faster into retail reality than they used to, Wolfe said.

Such “fast fashion” means antsy fashionistas like me can get a spring-look fix well before winter is over.

“There used to be a real ‘ripple-out’ timetable that said, ‘Paris now, Peoria in 18 months,’” Wolfe said. “That is no longer the case. For those who care about fashion, it is almost instant.”

And that ability to satisfy a fashion fan’s desire for the new hasn’t just made trends more accessible, it has made them easier to afford.

Wolfe points to the spring 2013 runways. They were full of black and white — which Wolfe deems “hardly a revolutionary idea” — and nearly immediately, fast-fashion retailer H&M is pushing black-and-white outfits. The Swedish retailer is selling a black-and-white-striped sheer blouse for $25 that looks like something off the Marc Jacobs spring runway.

But what to choose for your escape from now until actual spring without looking like you’re blindly following trends? After all, what works on the runways doesn’t work for your life.

“If you like a trend, you should try it,” says Sarah Bennett, personal stylist man-

ager at Nordstrom South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, Calif. “Every trend is wearable; the key is tailoring it to your own personal style. Color is everywhere for spring.

If you’re not ready for head-to-toe color, try starting small with a colored shoe or handbag.”

But the array of trends is dizzying. From the boxy silhouettes of Chanel’s sweet suits, Derek Lam’s saturated featherweight leather, Peter Pilotto’s hypnotic exotic prints, Chloe’s blinding white ensembles, Gucci’s giant undulating ruffles or Michael Kors’ blue-green color mix — what’s a girl on a limited budget to do?

“With so many trends happening simultaneously, a smart shopper takes the time … to familiarize herself with the options and to only adapt/assimilate those that truly suit her real lifestyle and budget. Forget Kim Kardashian and all those starlets on the red carpet,” Wolfe advised.

His easy solution is to choose something that looks like your style, but in spring’s favorite new colors.

“Color, color, color! But not any one specific color,” he said. “There will be brights, pastels, black-and-white and neutrals, too. ‘Proven newness’ is an important consideration. That means choosing something familiar (a garment or an accessory) that is in a new color or new material. It’s safe, but sort of exciting.”

Costa Mesa, Calif.-based fashion blogger Beth Jones of B. Jones Style agrees.

“Bold color is still in. Purchase one statement item in a bold color and pop it in your winter wardrobe, but get ready to wear it when spring comes around,” she said.

Another trend easily incorporated into your spring closet — you might even have some left over from fall, when it started appearing on the runway and in stores — is lightweight leather.

Ultra-soft leather details on shirts or dresses automatically make a piece look more sophisticated and give a classic sweater an unexpected edge.

Here, too, color can make it new, because leather doesn’t just come in black anymore (although black leather has reached an iconic status that automatically makes it classic and therefore wearable for all time).

“I’m loving leather for spring, especially colored leather. It’s such a great transitional piece, and if you’re going to make the investment, you’re going to want to use it all year long,” says Orange County, Calif. fashion stylist Leslie Christen.

Bring personality into your workspace

BY JENNIFER FORKER, ASSOCIATED PRESS

W

e focus so much energy turning a house into a home, we sometimes forget to aim our decorating genius in another notable direction: the office cubicle.

Home often expresses who we are, filled as it is with accumulated treasures and trinkets. But skip on over to the office cubicle â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or, for that matter, an office with actual walls â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and it can be a different story.

Some offices â&#x20AC;&#x153;are so dated. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wallpaper from the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s, falling-apart furniture and stacks of files â&#x20AC;&#x201D; generally, an overall mess,â&#x20AC;? says Sayeh Pezeshki, a designer who blogs about decor at The Office Stylist.

Considering how much time many people spend at work, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your work space should be cheery and it should be fun, and it should be personal to you,â&#x20AC;? says Sabrina Soto, designer host of HGTVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;The High/ Low Project.â&#x20AC;?

A soothing environment cuts down on work stress, designers believe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really does affect the way that you work and the way that you feel,â&#x20AC;? says Pezeshki.

And, she says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to spend a lot of moneyâ&#x20AC;? doing it.

Bob Richter, an interior designer and cast member of PBSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; treasure-hunting series â&#x20AC;&#x153;Market Warriors,â&#x20AC;? visits flea markets wherever he travels, returning home with one-of-a-kind mementos. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like a cubicle or a small office should feel like a small apartment,â&#x20AC;? says Richter, who lives in a small New York City apartment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Things have to be tidy but there also has to be an opportunity to

Ditch the sticky notes and the

hanging calendar, which add clutter, says Sabrina Soto of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The High/Low Project.â&#x20AC;? Lean a small dry-erase board against one wall and jot down notes there. Use an electronic calendar.

Richter suggests combing flea markets for unusual boxes and baskets for storing supplies on an office desk. He uses old metal coffee tins and vintage ceramic planters for holding pens and other supplies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a nostalgic vibe to these items,â&#x20AC;?

Richter says.

Soto suggests using lacquered boxes or stylish fiberboard boxes, like those sold at The Container Store.

Good lighting, an attractive memo board, and at least one living plant or cut flowers are also essential for cultivating good cubicle ambiance.

Bring a desk lamp from home for task lighting; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll cheer up the space.

Bring in low-water, low-light plants â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at least one. Two plants that are good at surviving indoor light are pothos and

} ‘TREAT YOURSELF’ TO HEALTHY EATING 6

MONDAY, MARCH 4, 2013

BY EMILY F. ALLEY

ith spring a few weeks away, now is a perfect time to start planning to get in shape for

summer.

Weight loss is healthiest when it happens over time. Ken Sarber, a health educator at Kansas University and former personal trainer, estimates weight loss should be limited to 2 pounds per week.

“Restrictive diets are not sustainable,” Sarber said.

Moderation is best for long-term weight loss. It’s also a rule to keep in mind when visiting restaurants.

“Treat yourself,” said Ben Sathoff, assistant director of fitness at Kansas University’s Recreation Services. “But make sure restaurants stay a treat by limiting yourself to dining out once every one or two weeks. Home cooking is better.”

Many restaurants, in Sathoff’s opinion, serve overly large portions. He recommends requesting a to-go box at the start of the meal and immediately dividing your plate in half. Keep the uneaten portion for your next meal.

He also suggests drinking a glass or two of water before your food arrives, which helps your meal expand faster as you’re eating. You’ll feel full sooner.

“Don’t think that you can’t go to a restaurant,” Sarber said. There are tools, websites to help you plan ahead and know what you can eat. “It’s not about being perfect. It’s about making the better choice.”

“Some people can’t avoid carbs, some can’t avoid chocolate,” he added.

Be aware of the content of side dishes, suggested Casey Young, a personal trainer for KU recreation services. Order lean meats, like turkey or salmon.

Also, avoid soda — a single soda might contain several hundred calories, which may take an hour or two of walking to burn.

Set realistic goals. Set an ideal number of calories or carbohydrates that you can consume each day and don’t overwhelm yourself by thinking too long-term.

A sustainable diet is built around what you know you’ll crave. Shape your diet and exercise around your lifestyle. Don’t try to force yourself into a lifestyle that you cannot sustain.

“Variety is best,” Sathoff said. Don’t limit yourself to certain foods. Your body needs different types of vitamins and nutrients. Even candy should be limited, not off-limits.

“Even if you eat 3,000 calories’ worth of vegetables and you don’t burn it off, you’ll gain weight,” Sarber said.

Ultimately, a diet is a healthier lifestyle that must be livable.

“Ideal weight is not a number. It’s when you look in the mirror and you’re happy,” Sathoff said. “You should have fun. You shouldn’t regret having to do it.”

Young agreed.

“As long as you’re eating healthy 80 to 90 percent of the time, you shouldn’t worry about eating out,” he said. “I’m not going to restrict myself.”

When clients visit Sarber’s office and ask to know their ideal weights, “I say, ‘you tell me.’” If they are truly comfort-

Simple solutions for a better lunch FAMILY FEATURES

W

BETTER-FOR-YOU ON-THE-GO

ith the busy morning rush to get everyone ready for work and school, sometimes getting anything packed for lunch is no small feat for the day. And if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re like many busy moms, you resort to packing the same things for yourself and your kids, over and over again.

But a little planning and few quick and easy ideas like these can make packing lunches a whole lot simpler for you to provide everyone a lunch thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better tasting and better for them.

It can be hard to make wise food choices when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in a hurry. Stock up on items that take prep time off your hands.

Yummy yogurt: An easy way to eat right at lunch or on the go, yogurt is also a smart way to get protein and calcium into your day.

Pre-sliced and diced: Check your grocery store for snack-sized bags of pre-sliced cheese or crunchy pretzels. You can toss one into lunch bags or keep some at your desk for a quick afternoon pick-me-up.

WHOLE AND WHOLESOME

DIY FOODS

Look to add fresh, whole foods into lunches.

Nuts: Nuts provide healthy fats, fiber and important nutrients. Measure out individual servings of almonds, walnuts, pecans or cashews, and keep them on hand so you can toss them in a lunch bag.

Fruits and veggies: You can always grab an apple or banana, but what about expanding your produce palate? Try packing snap peas with hummus; frozen grapes and kiwi chunks; grapefruit and orange segments with coconut flakes; or tomato and cucumber slices drizzled with a teaspoon of olive oil and a splash of lime juice.

Protein: Lean poultry, low-fat cottage cheese and tofu are good sources of protein. Eggs have protein, too â&#x20AC;&#x201D; try jazzing up a hard-boiled egg with a little lemon pepper or chili flakes.

You can find healthier recipes for just about any of your favorite lunch sides.

Mix it up: Make your own trail mix or homemade granola. Pre-portion it into zip-top bags or single serving storage containers so you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overdo it.

Make it crunchy: For a lower-fat, nutritious and delicious crunchy snack, bake your own apple, sweet potato, kale or beet chips â&#x20AC;&#x201D; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have fewer calories and a lot more nutrition packed into each crunchy bite.

Spice it up: Herbs and spices add a ton of flavor and their own nutritional value to all kinds of delicious treats. You can find recipes for spiced nuts, roasted pumpkin seeds and seasoned popcorn, all of which make lunch time something to look forward to.

able with the way their body looks and moves, that is a measure of a healthy weight. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weight is nice, but people obsess about it. And muscle weighs more than fat,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Even the Body Mass Index may not be a true reflection of a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fitness. There are long-term implications to every diet. Consider the effect on your heart or kidneys, for example. Weight is only one aspect of health.

Restaurants should be a treat, which are a healthy part of any weight loss plan.

Maybe instead of lunch or dinner, invite friends for a hike by Clinton Lake, or a soccer game in the park.

Social events donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be limited to meals, especially as days grow warmer. After all, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just about fitting in a bikini.

Style FOR THE AGES

}

There are small, relatively inexpensive changes you can make to your coat to not only make it unique, but also to put it on par with much more expensive designer coats.

VAUGHN SCRIBNER

THE WOOL OVERCOAT A classic that has hardly changed

I

had a few ideas for this month’s column, but with “Snowmaggedon” recently upon us, I figured a closer look at such a ubiquitous (but as our recent weather has made quite apparent, important) clothing item — the winter wool coat — was ripe with opportunity.

Often cut in a mid-to-long length in neutral hues, the wool coat is an article of men’s apparel that honestly hasn’t changed much over the past 300 years. A well-known painting depicts Beau Brummell, the famous English fashion icon of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, donning a knee-length, black wool coat in Paris.

Around 1853, the overcoat came into immense popularity in Europe and America. Men found themselves drawn to the overcoat’s defining details: It was double-breasted, back-vented, firmly buttoned and boasted large pockets. By the time World War I erupted throughout Europe, the wool overcoat’s inherent warmth and sturdiness made it the choice for soldiers.

The rest, as they say, is history. Whether you’re strolling down Mass. Street in Lawrence or Broadway in New York today, you’re sure to see men and women hunkering down in their wool coats.

But this ubiquity might be a bit of a sticking point for certain men. If you want to stand out from the crowd but still don a cozy wool coat, you have three main options.

First, you can spend hours scouring thrift stores to find that perfect coat that is a bit different and no longer in season. This, of course, requires a certain amount of luck and quite a bit of effort.

Secondly, you can hop over to your local Gap or Weaver’s and pick up a relatively well-made, basic wool coat.

Third, you can splurge on a designer coat.

Designer coats usually offer a very high quality with small details to help you stand out from the

crowd … but you’d better be ready to spend at least $1,000.

The thing is, you don’t have to spend $1,000 to make your coat look like a million bucks. Let’s suppose that you find a quality, basic wool coat like a pea coat or car coat at a mid-tier retailer such as Gap or Weaver’s.

There are small, relatively inexpensive changes you can make to your coat to not only make it unique, but also to put it on par with much more expensive designer coats.

First off, the buttons: Retailers usually go really cheap on these, but that doesn’t mean you have to. There are thousands of button options, ranging from horn to wood to metal to plastic. The sky is literally the limit here. You can visit thrift shops to find cool buttons, swap them out from another coat or scour the endless selection online.

I would recommend having your new buttons sewn on by a tailor, since he or she can offer the strongest, longestlasting application. You can use this opportunity to pick a contrasting color of thread to give your coat more panache.

Finally, you should have your tailor alter your coat like you would a suit jacket. They can take the body and sleeves in a bit to give your coat that designer fit. They can also replace the liner of your coat to give you a warmer, more quality feel.

Wool coats haven’t changed much over time, but you can follow these easy — and relatively cheap — steps to make your basic wool coat a bit less typical.

Dating pool wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dry up after high school Dear Dr. Wes and Katie: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m 16. You say that teenage dating is the foundation for adult relationships. If thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to die alone. What happens to those of us who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t date at this age?

Katie: Most of the questions on Double Take this year have posed challenging problems with which I have no personal experience. I could have written this letter from our teen Twitter feed (@DrWes4Teens) myself. I hate to boast, but between you and me, I might hold the record for the longest-standing period of singleness: This May, I will graduate from high school without ever having had a socalled â&#x20AC;&#x153;high school sweetheart.â&#x20AC;?

I am currently in search of a bow tie collar for my cat. He is thus far my only potential prom date.

Though I may appear to be degenerating into the stereotypical cat lady of popular legend, that is not my destiny, nor is it yours.

Love can find a person at any age, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rare for individuals to meet a life partner before reaching adulthood. In fact, contrary to what the grocery storeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three-month Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day gala would have us believe, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll bet my last remaining self-purchased, heartshaped chocolate that only a minority of our peers are actually in relationships.

The patterns of oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future relationships are defined not so much by when they start as by how they start. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the foundation you mention above.

Think of your love life not as an empty glass but as one yet to be filled. Every relationship will add water to our glasses, and we can hope that when our glasses are full, the water will be clean and clear. Every unhealthy dating experience will instead add murky water to the glass, mixing with and tainting whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poured on top of it.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better to wait for a healthy dating life than to let oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s glass grow murky with

Double TAKE DR. WES CRENSHAW AND KATIE GUYOT relationships that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t based on love and respect. You and I arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t skipping a step in adolescence by waiting for someone with whom we can have a meaningful relationship. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just going to have those experiences a little later on.

Dr. Wes: Dealing with teen sexuality, as we often do in Double Take, our books and monthly radio shows, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too easy for me to generalize whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true for one group of young people on to another.

Your tweet reminded me that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as important to talk about the aloneness that many kids experience in adolescence and to put it in context, just as Katie has done. In fact, I know lots of young people swimming in the dating pool and drowning. Better to sit on the beach and bide your time.

The tweet you cite is drawn from an earlier column. So, using the same analogy, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to swim, do so wisely because every relationship you experience at this age is practice for those that come later on.

If what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re practicing is waiting patiently (even if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to), that will,

as Katie suggests, pay off in the future.

For now, study love. Read good books and watch good movies about romance.

Seek stories in which couples actually struggle with their love and sexuality, where it means something to them.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m talking â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Notebookâ&#x20AC;? here, but I especially like â&#x20AC;&#x153;500 Days of Summerâ&#x20AC;? because (as we know from the first three seconds of the movie) the couple does not end up together. They teach each other about love before they break up. Sad but real. While fictional romance can be a little contrived, there are things to be learned in those pages that teach real love.

Where quite a few young people go wrong is in losing patience and diving into the shallow end of the dating pool.

That turns out in love about as badly as it does in a real pool, so donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just decide to get with a guy who pays some attention to you. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in a better spot than you think you are because you can afford to be choosey. Choosey is good.

In fact, as weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll discuss next week, the most important part of dating is breaking up. Without breaking up, there is no selection process. So waiting (or being forced to wait) will actually expose you to a slightly more mature peer group down the road.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the dating pool is there for you, and you will in time find yourself safely in it. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Wes Crenshaw, Ph.D., ABPP, is author of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dear Dr. Wes: Real Life Advice for Teensâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Real Life Advice for Parents of Teens.â&#x20AC;?

A PAPER BAG AND A CATNIP MOUSE spell pure bliss for Annabelle, a member of the Bodle family. Her favorite toy is a brown paper bag to hide in and tear up.

Americans spent more than $53 billion on pets last year LOS ANGELES (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The economy may have remained sluggish last year but Americans refused to scrimp on their pets, with animal lovers spending upward of $53 billion on food, veterinary care, kennels and other services in 2012.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up 5 percent from 2011, when spending first broke the $50 billion barrier, says the American Pet Products Association, a trade group based in Greenwich, Conn. APPA President and CEO Bob Vetere predicts another 4 percent gain this year.

At about $34.3 billion, food and vet care represented about two-thirds of total spending, with money spent on supplies and over-the-counter medications rising by more than 7 percent.

Spending on the growing market of alternative vet care, such as acupuncture, totaled about $12.5 billion.

Vetere says spending on services like grooming, boarding, hotels and pet-sitting grew nearly 10 percent during 2012 to almost $4.4 billion.
