NCAA TOURNAMENT

Jayhawks No. 1 seed in South

By Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Kansas, seeded first in the South region, plays its NCAA Tournament opener Friday in the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo., against 16th-seeded Western Kentucky. Tipoff is sched-

uled for 8:50 p.m.

However, it was a potential Sunday matchup that caught everyone’s attention when the brackets were released Sunday on CBS. If KU and North Carolina win Friday in Kansas City,

coaches Bill Self and his Kansas predecessor, Roy Williams of North Carolina, will face each other in the tournament for the third time in six seasons. Seeded eighth, the Tarheels face No. 9 seed Villanova in a Friday matchup.

MEMBERS OF GROUP HOOP MAMAS perform during the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade in downtown Lawrence. Cool temperatures and a light rain couldn’t dampen the enthusiasm of the crowd, which lined Massachusetts Street from Sixth Street to South Park. The parade continued north across the Kansas River into North Lawrence, ending at The Flamingo Club, 501 N. Ninth St.

St. Patrick’s Day Parade floats along through the mist

By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

Bagpipers piped, a woman dressed as a chicken bounded around urging parade watchers to buy local, McGruff the crime dog greeted children, the Junkyard Jazz band belted out tunes from the trailer of a truck, hula hoopers marched and hopped, a leprechaun waved to the crowd from inside a 10-foot pot of gold and a group of shipwrecked castaways from the S.S. Minnow did the Harlem Shake.

Despite the cold and a wee bit of rain, the 26th annual Lawrence St. Patrick’s Day parade sailed through downtown Lawrence on Sunday with its usual display of unusual floats.

With interest high for all the interesting creatures and float creations — more than 100 total — parade watchers arrived early. An hour before the 1:30 p.m. parade start, open space downtown was scarce. “We wanted to get a good spot,� said Jen Taylor, who brought along her three corgis, adorned in Irish-themed handkerchiefs. The corgis didn’t seem to mind the cold or the crowds. “They think it’s quite amazing,� Taylor said.

Basehor resident Lisa Smith, and her daughter, Kayla, laid claim to a cement slab at the corner of Seventh and Massachusetts streets two and a half hours before the parade. The

Nearly $75,000 was raised for local charities during the leadup to the parade.

This year, proceeds will go to the Lawrence Arts Center’s scholarship fund, the Ballard Community Center and the County Fair Swim Club. — Reporter Shaun Hittle can be reached at 832-7173.

The early effects of this month’s automatic federal spending cuts have hit financial assistance for military service members taking college courses, and at least a few Kansas University students are already feeling it in their pocketbooks.

The U.S. Army, Marine Corps and Air KANSAS Force have s u s p e n d e d UNIVERSITY their tuition assistance programs for active-duty, reserve or National Guard service members because of the automatic cuts, known as the sequester, that went into place March 1.

The Navy was the lone service branch not to suspend the assistance as of Friday.

Among the recipients of that tuition help, which can be as much as $4,500 per year, are 64 current KU students.

The good news is that students enrolled in spring classes won’t lose the funding they’ve already been awarded, according to Brian McDown, interim senior associate university registrar for KU. “Spring students are in good shape,� McDown said.

But the military branches aren’t awarding any new funding, McDown said, and it will soon be time for students to begin enrolling in summer or fall courses. “The soonest a person might need to worry about this is the end of March,�

McDown said.

The cuts don’t affect students in the supply chain management and logistics master’s degree program that the KU School of Business offers to officers stationed at Fort Leavenworth.

That program allows officers, mostly Army majors but a few from other branches, to earn a master’s degree in just 10 and a half months, with the aim of helping them work in logistics positions in the military and also to Please see TUITION, page 2A

Recent rains have helped, but drought still has hold WICHITA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Recent rain has helped ease the drought slightly in some sections of Kansas, but weather officials say the state still needs considerably more moisture.

The amount of Kansas in extreme or exceptional drought dropped from about 70 percent to less than 65 percent, according to a report released Thursday by the U.S. Drought Monitor. The improvements after the early March rains were mostly in east-central Kansas, The Wichita Eagle reported. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a little bit of improvement,â&#x20AC;? Nation-

al Weather Service meteorologist Andy Kleinsasser said.

Long-term moisture shortfalls persist across the state, however, despite the recent rain and last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heavy snows.

Kleinsasser said Kansas still has â&#x20AC;&#x153;precipitation deficitsâ&#x20AC;? of up to 20 inches across much of the state, particularly in southern and eastern sections. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need a really good spring to early summerâ&#x20AC;? to make a meaningful dent in the long-term drought, he said.

AccuWeather Vice President Mike Smith said the recent moisture has

been good news for farmers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In terms of the winter wheat, I think it helped a great deal,â&#x20AC;? Smith said.

Smith said he has spoken recently with farmers from Eureka to Ness City pleased with the recent rain and snow.

A light, steady, soaking rain can be more beneficial than a 2-inch rain that falls in 40 minutes because it allows the soil to absorb the moisture, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They all thought the moistureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s timing and amount and the rate was all very, very helpful,â&#x20AC;?

Smith said.

Tuition

Some of his students didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get their applications in before then. That means theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to pay out-of-pocket for their courses, though they may be receiving help from other military programs.

Freix did not have exact numbers available, but he estimated that about half of the 32 members in his current class were using tuition assistance. The program costs roughly $14,000 in all, plus textbooks, he said. Some students receive scholarships from the Army, and others may be able to use GI Bill benefits to pay tuition.

It remains to be seen whether the next class of students in the program will be able to apply for tuition assistance, he said. He said he was confident the program would still attract a full class, as students in the past have shown a willingness to pay their own

way if necessary.

Two U.S. senators are pushing for an amendment that would restore the tuition-assistance programs.

Baker University last week announced plans to provide financial support for any active-duty military students whose funding was affected by the sequester.

McDown said word has not yet come down from the military branches what exactly will happen to students hoping to use tuition assistance to take summer or fall classes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what that impact will be yet,â&#x20AC;? he said.

its season, North Carolina (24-10) was runner-up in the ACC tournament, losing to Miami.

Kansas needs to win two games in Kansas City to advance to the South regional, which will be played in Cowboy Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on Friday, March 29, and Sunday, March 31.

The Final Four is scheduled for April 6 and 8 in the Georgia Dome in Atlanta.

The Jayhawks insisted they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t looking that far

down the road and have all their attention trained on Western Kentucky (2015), which earned a berth by winning the Sun Belt Conference tournament as a No. 5 seed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to come in really confident, and we have to be ready for that,â&#x20AC;? said Kansas center Jeff Withey, one of four senior starters.

Other high seeds in KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s region: 2. Georgetown, 3. Florida, 4. Michigan, 5. Virginia Commonwealth.

prepare them for jobs in the civilian world when their service is over.

Because the program is so condensed, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t follow KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s normal semester-based calendar. New courses start throughout the year, and some for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s class donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t begin until April, said Greg Freix, a business school lecturer who directs the program.

Freix said he suggested that students apply as early as possible, in late February, for tuition assistance for their final courses, just in case the budget cuts shook things up.

Sure enough, the announcement came early this month that the assistance was suspended.

Campaign about missing limbs drawing positive attention WICHITA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Wichita high school senior who was born without part of her right arm wants peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reaction to her missing limb to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;so what?â&#x20AC;?

Karlee Cooper said she has never let her missing limb define her and she wants to spread that attitude to others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For me growing up, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a role model,â&#x20AC;?

Cooper said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to turn on the TV and see someone like me or open a magazine and see a model thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s missing an arm or a leg. I think that would be a big deal to see that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not just talking about how they lost their leg, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re featured in magazines, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re TV hosts and news anchors.â&#x20AC;?

Cooper and two of her friends at Northwest High School, Mackenzie Gardiner and Miah Hamm, have made their effort into a public relations campaign for DECA, a business and marketing club for high school and college students. The campaign won first place at the state DECA competition March 5, and the girls will compete in the international competition in Anaheim, Calif., April 23-28, The Wichita Eagle reported.

The girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; campaign slogan is called â&#x20AC;&#x153;so what,â&#x20AC;? and its slogan is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re more than what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re missing.â&#x20AC;?

More than 15,000 stu-

dents are expected to attend the international competition, said Jeff Darr, Northwestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s DECA adviser. Team members will present a 10-minute speech and answer questions from judges for five minutes. If they make it to the finals, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll repeat the process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All the stars have to be aligned and everything has to go perfect to win it all. But a good project is a good project, and most judges at the international competition will see that,â&#x20AC;?

Darr said.

April is National Limb Loss Awareness Month, according to the Amputee Coalition, which said about 2 million people in the U.S. are living with limb loss. Diabetes and trauma are the two main causes, with about 185,000 amputations in the U.S. every year, the coalition said.

So far, more than 8 million people across the globe have been exposed to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;so whatâ&#x20AC;? campaign using various marketing strategies, including social media, Gardiner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People post on our Facebook page their stories of how their husband came home from war or their daughter is missing an arm, and they have such good things to say about the campaign, so we really feel we are making a difference and impacting

people,â&#x20AC;? Hamm said.

Cooper plans to attend Butler Community College and then Kansas State University for a degree in marketing. Gardiner and Hamm will attend Hutchinson Community College. Gardiner is considering marketing or becoming an X-ray technician. Hamm is considering business, accounting and marketing.

They arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure what will happen to the campaign once they graduate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I would like to take this campaign and make it really big, be able to go and travel and talk to people about how Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve overcome my differences and how others should be able to overcome their differences, too,â&#x20AC;? Cooper said.

BRIEFLY Town commits to 2nd Amendment SYRACUSE (AP) — A western Kansas town has adopted a resolution supporting the Second Amendment right to bear arms.

The Garden City Telegram reported that the Syracuse City Council approved the resolution earlier this month.

Syracuse Mayor Joe Stephens said he hoped other towns would follow suit.

Last month, Seward County became the first Kansas county to adopt a resolution regarding the Second Amendment. Stephens said Syracuse followed that resolution’s language.

The resolutions come as lawmakers in Washington discuss several gun control measures, including one requiring federal background checks for more would-be gun buyers.

Medical marijuana still illegal in Kansas TOPEKA (AP) — Marijuana that someone obtained legally elsewhere is still illegal in Kansas, and a person who brings it into the state can be prosecuted under Kansas law, the state Court of Appeals has ruled.

The decision came in the case of a Troy James Cooper, a Colorado man who was stopped in central Kansas by a state trooper and found to possess a small amount of doctor-recommended marijuana he had obtained in his home state.

The decision issued by the court Friday won’t change the outcome of Cooper’s case. A trial judge acquitted him of a misdemeanor charge of possessing marijuana, and trying him again would constitute double jeopardy, according to Paul Kasper, the attorney who represented Cooper.

But the ruling will provide guidance to law enforcement and trial courts in the future as more states legalize the medical or recreational use of marijuana, Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt said.

FRANCO GARCIA, AN AIR BRUSH ARTIST in Lawrence, puts the finishing touches on a new Jayhawk on March 11 at the Kansas Union. The new Jayhawk is filled with concrete to prevent theft and vandalism.

Jayhawk putting on weight in order to stand its ground

By Matt Erickson merickson@ljworld.com

It might seem glamorous, this position: Serve as a Kansas University campus landmark, appear in countless graduationday pictures, be the object of children’s adoration.

But don’t kid yourself. It’s a tough job being the “Classic Jayhawk” sculpture in front of the Kansas Union.

Over the years, past Classic Jayhawks have been climbed on, knocked over and rolled along the Jayhawk Boulevard sidewalk. Late-night passersby have assumed three-point stances like football linemen to try to knock it over, according to video footage.

But KU Memorial Unions

staff are confident that the third edition of the Classic Jayhawk, due to be completed this month, will be up to the task.

“We knew we were going to have to do something with it to make it more sturdy to put up with all the love it got,” said Mike Reid, a spokesman for the Memorial Unions.

Well-loved icon This new Jayhawk sculpture looks nearly the same, but inside it’s an entirely different bird from its hollow fiberglass predecessors.

This new sculpture, plus a three-foot-deep underground column serving as its anchor, is filled with about three tons of concrete and steel rebar. Anyone who tries out the old three-

point-stance move is in for a rude awakening.

And if history is any indication, the new Jayhawk will need to be ready to withstand a lot of “love.”

The Classic Jayhawk has stood in front of the Kansas Union’s main entrance since 2003, when it was one of 30 5-foot-tall fiberglass Jayhawk sculptures decorated with various themes as part of a “Jayhawks on Parade” fundraiser for the Lawrence Convention and Visitors Bureau. This one was painted in the traditional crimson, blue and gold of the KU mascot, with the letters “KU” adorning its chest.

But when the promotion Please see JAYHAWK, page 6A

Republican budget plans teed up for debate in the House and Senate this week will take whacks at higher education in Kansas.

The plan approved in the House Appropriations Committee would apply a 4 percent across-the-board cut to higher education, which would total $29.2 million and impose a cap on wages and salaries. A 4 percent cut in state funding to Kansas University would equal nearly $10 million and put state funding at KU below 2006 levels.

The Senate Ways and Means Committee plan would cut higher education by 2 percent, reduce by half the state’s $5 million annual commitment to the KU Cancer Center, and cut $10 million that Gov. Sam Brownback had proposed for the KU Medical Center for a new health education building.

The proposed cuts in spending are driven by Republican plans to reduce spending to coincide with a reduction in revenues from a proposed cut to the state income tax.

SOUND OFF

Q:

In discussions about the Lawrence school districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bond proposal, I have heard officials talk about something called â&#x20AC;&#x153;blended classrooms.â&#x20AC;?

What are those, and how much of the $92.5 million in bonds would go for that?

Lawrence school district Julie Boyle explained that blended learning â&#x20AC;&#x153;is an instructional philosophy combining direct teacherled instruction with small and large group work and independent student learning. Many teachers already use this approach. The integration of technology further enables the blending of traditional instruction with online learning options.â&#x20AC;?

Boyle said the district is conducting a field test with eight teachers in seven schools to explore the use of software that gives teachers, students and parents access to a digital curriculum. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The April 2nd school bond issue includes $6.5 million for technology enhancements districtwide, including $1.2 million to support future implementation of a digital curriculum,â&#x20AC;? Boyle said.

Kansas Policy Institute President Dave Trabert was quoted inaccurately in a story published Sunday.

Although Trabert and KPI have at times criticized the performance of Kansas public schools, he did not use the words â&#x20AC;&#x153;poor performanceâ&#x20AC;? in the interview he gave to the Journal-World, and those words should not have appeared in quotation marks. They were meant to paraphrase statements made by Trabert in recent years about his view of the performance of Kansas schools.

TENNESSEE

University proposes fracking on its land Landscape shifting for golf courses, restaurants

P

By Kristin M. Hall Associated Press

NASHVILLE, TENN. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The University of Tennessee wants to allow hydraulic fracturing to extract natural gas on a state-owned tract of rolling woodland and use the revenue to fund research into the environmental impact of such drilling â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a proposal that environmentalists condemn as a conflict of interest.

The unique proposal is being considered as national debate continues over â&#x20AC;&#x153;fracking.â&#x20AC;? Energy companies use the procedure to remove gas or oil from rock formations by forcing liquids underground at high pressure.

Many universities say they lack the money to properly study its environmental implications.

Gwen Parker, a Nashville-based staff attorney for the Southern Environmental Law Center, said her group is taking a lead in trying to block the move.

She called the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal a â&#x20AC;&#x153;fundamental conflict of interest.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have not been able to find any instances of a university drilling on their land and funding their research with revenues from the drilling activities,â&#x20AC;? Parker said.

Without an appraisal, it was unclear how much

PROTESTERS GATHER Friday across from the state Capitol in Nashville, Tenn., to speak out against a University of Tennessee plan to allow hydraulic fracturing on a state-owned tract of land. revenue such drilling could yield, though some said it could be in the range of millions of dollars annually.

The university wants state permission to allow an outside company to drill on about 8,000 acres of mature woodlands it maintains as an outdoor laboratory in the Cumberland Plateau â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all while performing research on the effects on water quality, air quality and ground impacts.

On Friday, the university presented its proposal to a subcommittee of the State Building Commission, which voted unanimously to allow the university to seek bids from companies.

erhaps this is one more sign that a recovery in Lawrenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s housing market is starting to take hold.

Leaders with The University National Bank of Lawrence announced Friday that federal regulators recently have ended their special oversight of the bank, which was related to the bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s struggles during the real estate downturn.

According to federal documents, the Comptroller of the Currency has ended a Formal Agreement that it had with The University National Bank dating back to 2009. The Formal Agreement had placed lending limitations on the bank and had required the bank to undertake a special strategic plan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We could not be more pleased with this news,â&#x20AC;? said Todd Sutherland, president and CEO of the bank. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This decision by our primary regulator validates our long-term strategic vision that UNB will continue to serve its customers, shareholders and staff in a safe and sound manner well into the future.â&#x20AC;?

Sutherland said the bank now is free to pursue the strategies it sees fit for the Lawrence market, both in residential and commercial lending.

Sutherland told me that he believes there is reason for some optimism on the residential real estate front. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re starting to see some positive signs,â&#x20AC;?

Sutherland said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think housing is starting to recover, although slowly.

But weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing again that houses that are priced appropriately will sell. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a correction take place.â&#x20AC;?

Sutherland said he has a strong outlook for 2013. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very positive on it,â&#x20AC;? Sutherland said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As long as interest rates stay low, and the Fed has made that commitment, it bodes well for housing.â&#x20AC;?

Depending on your skill, the course is designed to be played in less than two hours. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are interested in catering to people who like a shorter course,â&#x20AC;?

McGhee said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That might be youth or high school players or senior citizens or anybody in the middle.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had some people tell me they go in a half-hour early to work, stay a halfhour late, take an extra 45 minutes for lunch and they can justify playing a round of golf out here over their lunch break.â&#x20AC;?

Rates at the new course are $16 for weekend play, walking. On weekdays, the rate drops to $11, and McGhee is offering a $10 weekday rate for high school students and seniors.

Terms of the Orchards sale werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t disclosed, but the property previously had an asking price of $385,000.

The golf business may get interesting in Lawrence again. Business has picked up at the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eagle Bend Golf Course.

The course below the Clinton Lake Dam turned an operating profit in 2012 of $27,000 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which means its revenue was that much above its expenses, not including its debt payment.

But I think everybody in the local golf industry will be watching with interest what happens in northwest Lawrence. The Arkansas-based company that has proposed The Links project seems serious about actually building it this year. The property would be just east of the proposed Rock Chalk Park sports village at Sixth and the SLT. The project would include a nine-hole golf course surrounded by 630 apartments.

Tenants of the apartment will have green fees included in their rent.

What will be interesting to see is if The Links allows public play on the course.

The Trail of Margaritas â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you may know it is as Massachusetts Street â&#x20AC;&#x201D; now has one less waypoint.

Tapas, 724 Massachusetts St., has closed, general manager Dorothy Hopkins told me.

But fret not, all you folks who are worried about becoming dehydrated as you trek through downtown. Hopkins told me the restaurant is working to reopen in another location.

Hopkins said business was good at the restaurant, which had been open a little more than a year. But she said its building recently sold.

Actually, I think it is under contract to be sold.

Regardless, the new owners have other plans, and Tapas lost its lease.

Hopkins said the restaurant is in early discussions for another spot on Massachusetts Street, but it also is considering the Wakarusa Street corridor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know some other restaurants are struggling in downtown, but our business has been excellent,â&#x20AC;? Hopkins said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is what is really sad about having to close.â&#x20AC;?

The potential move â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which Hopkins said will take at least a month â&#x20AC;&#x201D; has left the restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 26 employees in limbo.

As for what may be on tap for Tapasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; old building, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard another restaurant is the leading contender. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll let you know more when I do.

Perhaps there is a rule that when one Mexican restaurant goes out of business, another must open.

The folks who have Mexquisito, 712 Massachusetts St., have expanded into Eudora. The new restaurant opened about 10 days ago, occupying a spot near 10th and Locust streets â&#x20AC;&#x201D; kind of cattycorner from the Caseyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in a spot formerly occupied by â&#x20AC;Ś a Mexican restaurant.

I had occasion to check it out, and it brings some

of the same â&#x20AC;&#x201D; what I would call slightly upscale â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mexican dishes that it serves at Mexquisito downtown.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to decide whether my description is accurate. All I know is that when you order salsa, you get both the red and the green type, which provides the answer to a riddle: What do you get when you combine red and green? Another margarita.

Last week, we reported on news of management changes at Alvamar Country Club. Today, we have news about what a former local country club executive is up to.

Brent Boyle, who at various times over the last decade has worked as food and beverage director at Lawrence Country Club and also was club manager at Alvamar Country Club, has opened an Italian restaurant in Baldwin City.

Antonucciâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is at 519 Ames St., which is across the street from the Kwik Shop. (All directions in Baldwin City originate from the Kwik Shop.)

Boyle said the restaurant focuses on classic Italian dishes. The restaurant has a culinary school-trained chef, Tad Ingles, who has prepared a menu that focuses on dishes made from scratch.

That includes homemade meatballs, a peppers and sausage dish that incorporates restaurant-made sausage, and made-fromscratch pizzas.

Boyle, who also owns the Baldwin Diner, said he was looking to create a bit more of a destinationstyle restaurant in Baldwin City. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got to looking around and realized there really wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a restaurant to take a date in Baldwin City,â&#x20AC;?

Boyle said. The restaurant held its grand opening in late January, and Boyle said the restaurant is starting to attract Lawrence and Ottawa customers who want to take a bit of an evening drive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The new Highway 59 at 70 miles an hour really makes it pretty easy for people to get down here to Baldwin,â&#x20AC;? Boyle said. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; City reporter Chad Lawhorn can be reached at 832-6362. Read his Town Talk blog weekdays at LJWorld.com.

BRIEFLY 2 football players convicted of rape STEUBENVILLE, OHIO (AP) — Two members of Steubenville’s celebrated high school football team were found guilty Sunday of raping a drunken 16-year-old girl, and Ohio’s attorney general warned the case isn’t over, saying he is investigating whether coaches, parents and other students broke the law, too.

Trent Mays, 17, and Ma’Lik Richmond, 16, were sentenced to at least a year in juvenile prison in a case that has rocked this Rust Belt city of 18,000 and led to allegations of a cover-up to protect the Steubenville High team, which has won nine state championships. Mays was ordered to serve an additional year for photographing the underage girl naked.

They can be held until they turn 21.

The two broke down in tears after a Juvenile Court judge delivered his verdict.

They later apologized to the victim and the community, Richmond struggling to speak through his sobs.

“My life is over,” he said as he collapsed in the arms of his lawyer.

Is ‘Latino’ a race or an ethnicity?

WASHINGTON (AP) — It long has been assumed by sociologists that Latinos eventually would be redefined as “white” as they joined the mainstream, but the Census Bureau now wants to classify Latinos as their own distinct group in the next census, in 2020.

The proposal is based on census research that finds many Latinos do not identify with the current race categories.

One possible revision, urged by Kenneth Prewitt, a former bureau director, would drop the word “race” from the census form altogether, simply offering a set of check boxes for categories such as black, white and Hispanic that is preceded by the question, “Are you ...?”

HOW TO HELP

Family Promise seeks office assistance

By Shelly Hornbaker Roger Hill Volunteer Center

Agency: Family Promise Contact: Becky Peters, becky@lawrencefamilypromise.org Family Promise of Lawrence provides support and services for homeless children and their families.

Family Promise is in need of volunteers to help in its office with typing thank-you notes, data input, mailing cards and other various tasks.

Volunteers must be 18 years of age or older. Attendance at a one-time training session is required before working with guests.

To volunteer with Family Promise contact Becky Peters by email at becky@ lawrencefamilypromise. org.

Jayhawk CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

ended and the Unions took ownership of the bird, it became clear that to leave it in such a welltrafficked spot would pose some challenges.

“They were never intended to be permanent,” former Memorial Unions engineer Wayne Pearse said of the “Jayhawks on Parade” sculptures.

Hard-knock life Since then, the Jayhawk has become a campus fixture, promoted by KU as a spot for graduation photos. But it also became a magnet for vandals and troublemakers.

The first Classic Jayhawk had to retire after

Capitol

Immediate needs

Ballard Community Center provides essential basic life assistance for families and individuals in need. The center seeks a volunteer to work 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday afternoons at its North Lawrence location.

The volunteer would assist people in need of food as well as provide information on resources in the community to meet other needs they may have. Good interpersonal skills and the ability to use a computer, including inputting information into a database, are essential.

Contact Derek Roesler at 842-0729, ext. 101 or derek@ballardcenter.org.

Friends of Hidden Valley provide support for Hidden Valley Camp.

Four workdays are sponsored each year for maintenance and development of the campgrounds. The vandals knocked off its perch and rolled it on the pavement in December 2005, cracking its body beyond repair. One man was arrested that night when he returned to the scene to retrieve a dropped wallet, leading a KU spokesman to joke that “a Mensa membership card was not in the wallet.”

A replacement with stronger legs went into place, but it, too, fell victim to trouble.

In April 2011, the sculpture was knocked over again. While police were talking to two suspects, dispatchers received reports that three other people were trying to walk away with the untethered bird.

Classic Jayhawk 2.0 received its knockout blow in December, Reid said, when

April workday is scheduled for 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

April 14. Volunteers of all ages are needed to clean up the campsite, cut and stock wood, mulch trails and assist with cleanup and repairs.

Volunteers will check in and sign a waiver prior to receiving work assignments. Minors must be accompanied by an adult. No special skills are required other than the pleasure of outdoor activity. Adults who can provide and safely handle chain saws are always needed. This is a great group service activity.

Contact Durand Reiber at 865-4657 or durandi@ sunflower.com for more details.

Douglas County someone again knocked it over and cracked off its legs. It joined its predecessor in the Kansas Union basement for its retirement years.

But this time, the Unions had a replacement Jayhawk waiting in the wings, with a plan to keep it in place.

“We knew that was coming,” Reid said of the final blow.

Here to stay Since January, Unions staff have worked to install the new, hardier sculpture. A contractor came in to paint it with an updated “KU” typeface.

Union maintenance workers sawed off the back of the bird’s head to fill it with concrete and rebar.

Altogether, the cost of the new Classic Jayhawk was $5,600 plus internal la-

Emergency Management provides a comprehensive program to handle all types of major emergencies for Douglas County.

Several emergency response agencies are participating in a preparedness exercise from 8:30 a.m. to noon April 16.

The activity requires moulage victims. At least 13 volunteers are needed who are 18 years of age and older. Lunch will be provided following the event. This is a fun group service project and opportunity to tap into your theatrical talents.

To volunteer, email Sheila at smeggison@ douglas-county.com.

Big Brothers/Big Sisters provide one-to-one relationships for children facing adversity.

A “Big” is needed for the following boy: Valdez is 11 years old and a fifth-grader at New York

School. Valdez is friendly, talkative, outgoing, laidback and funny. His interests are sports and being active. He wants his future Big Brother to know that he is athletic and doesn’t like to sit long; he likes to move. He loves basketball, football and baseball and refers to them as the “Main 3.” Outside of the “Main 3,” Valdez would like to go roller skating and to the movies, and play video games and paintball with his Big Brother. He is open to a variety of activity ideas and is willing to try new things.

bor costs for the Memorial Unions, a nonprofit group separate from the university that uses no state funds.

The workers wore mock doctor’s scrubs during a promotional photo event Wednesday as they prepared to “surgically” reattach the skull section, but they’ve done some serious work to ensure the new bird stays in place, Pearse said.

The biggest concern is that the many children who climb on the Jayhawk stay safe, he said.

“Now kids can climb on that thing and have a heigh-ho time,” said Pearse, who retired in August 2012 but stopped by for the event Wednesday.

Workers said the Jayhawk’s skull should be in place, sanded down so you’d never know it was

removed, by sometime this week, as long as the weather cooperates.

It’s a lot of work to keep the sculpture in place, Reid said, but it’s worth it.

It may not have the history of the bronze Jayhawk in front of Strong Hall, more than 50 years old, but its bright colors and wide, smiling beak might make it one of KU’s best recruiters, he said.

“If you’re 3 years old and you see that, you fall in love with it right away,” Reid said. “And the rest of your life, you’re thinking about that Jayhawk.”

Senate bill that deals with a fund transfer to the Kansas Highway Patrol? Because Senate Bill 117 will become a vehicle used to consider a plan design for overhauling the Kansas Public Employee Retirement System, state Rep. Steven Johnson, RAssaria, and chairman of the House Pensions and Benefits Committee, told the Topeka Capital-Journal.

According to the CapitalJournal article, Bradley and Merton are affiliated with Dimensional Fund Advisors, an Austin-based investment firm led by Kansas University donor David Booth, who recently made headlines for purchasing the original rules of basketball for $4.3 million.

DFA offers a 401(k)-style retirement plan that conservative Republicans have expressed an interest in for state employees.

The newspaper reported that Gov. Sam Brownback; Colyer; State Treasurer Ron Estes; Kansas Public Employee Retirement System Executive Director Alan Conroy; Budget Director Steve Anderson; Senate Vice President Jeff King, RIndependence; and Johnson met with Booth and others earlier this month.

The hearing on Senate Bill 117 is at 9 a.m. today before the House Pensions and Benefits Committee in Room 152-South.

Voting law challenge could affect Kansas The U.S. Supreme Court today will hear arguments to a challenge to an Arizona law that requires residents there to show documents proving their U.S. citizenship before voting in national elections.

The case could have implications for Kansas and other states that have similar requirements.

Supporters say the law is needed to prevent noncitizens from voting, while opponents say the law makes it more difficult for eligible voters to vote, specifically minorities and the elderly.

A decision by the Supreme Court is expected in June.

As of Jan. 1, people registering to vote for the first time in Kansas must provide documentation to prove citizenship.

Quote of the week “The United States belongs to the citizens of Kansas, not the other way around.”

— State Rep. Brett Hildabrand, R-Shawnee, in support of a bill that would put federal officers in jeopardy of arrest if they tried to enforce a federal law on a gun owned or manufactured in Kansas that stays in the state.

What’s next Monday 9 a.m. — Possible vote on House Bill 2384, dismantling classified employment system, before House Appropriations, Room 112-North.

3:30 p.m. — Higher education institutions and economic development agencies will speak against the salary and wage cap for higher education, Room 546-South.

Tuesday 1:30 p.m. — Hearing on Senate Bill 149, drug screening for recipients of cash assistance and unemployment benefits, before House Commerce, Labor and Economic Development Committee, Room 346-South.

Wednesday 9 a.m. — Hearing on House Bill 2192, repealing in-state tuition for undocumented immigrants, before House Federal and State Affairs Committee, Room 346-South.

Thursday 9 a.m. — Hearing on Senate Bill 141, prohibiting abortions based on gender of unborn, before House Federal and State Affairs Committee, Room 346-South.

Blocking sunlight Sunshine Week 2013 revealed a partly cloudy forecast for Kansas.

S

unshine Week, in case you missed it, has come and gone. Mainly it was disappointing, with not much sunshine and with storm clouds on the horizon.

For the record, March 10-16 represented the time set aside to promote discussions about open government, transparency, and freedom of information.

The American Society of Newspaper Editors coordinates the effort with support from Bloomberg LP and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press.

It’s usually an exercise in which media folks bang their heads against walls, other citizens wonder what all the fuss is about (if, indeed, they notice), and lawmakers and public officials see no reason to modify statutes or behavior.

For one thing, there’s this business about open records. The Kansas Senate Committee on Federal and State Affairs last week held a hearing but took no action on SB 10, intended to make it easier and less expensive to get information under the Kansas Open Records Act. Ordinary people have been stiffed hundreds of dollars to get pertinent information such as their children’s school records — not for some deep dive into arcane data banks. The bill would cap the cost per sheet for copies and set out hourly charges related to responding to open records requests. Those charges are used to deter requests, closing records with a doorstop of dollars. Municipalities protest, but that seems hollow because this is the public’s information they’re collecting and holding, or withholding, as the case might be.

There’s also the issue of open meetings. The state senate’s Republicans, permissibly to be sure, Wednesday closeted themselves away from the public to debate tax issues. The GOP has 32 members in the Senate, compared to just eight Democrats. The Republican majority locked out the media and obviously conducted a debate on public policy and key fiscal issues without giving the public any opportunity to discern what’s what or who’s on first. One Republican offered the incredible excuse that the party, meeting away from the capitol, didn’t want to tip its hand to its Democratic foes. As if that possibly could have made any difference.

The Kansas Press Association is marketing a T-shirt with the advice, “KOMA for dummies.” The simple message: “Notify the public, meet in public, discuss in public, vote in public.” Sound advice.

The open records measure may be held over for the 2014 session. In the meantime, expect more egregious examples of why the change in the law is proposed. Also expect the usual yearly dose of violations of the open meetings act.

Stormy weather. Even a waterproof T-shirt may not do the trick. Sunshine Week will return in 2014.

Syria will need massive help after Assad WASHINGTON — The Obama administration and the Syrian opposition are beginning to grapple seriously with the core problem in Syria, which is how to topple President Bashar al-Assad without creating a political vacuum in which terrorists, warlords and regime die-hards could thrive.

A top White House official warns that it’s crucial to avoid a Syrian version of “the Bremer problem” — by which he means the chaos in Iraq that followed America’s decision in 2003 to disband the Iraqi army and uproot government institutions. It’s unfair to blame the ensuing disorder entirely on L. Paul Bremer, who headed the transition there, but the White House is right to fear the anarchy that can follow regime change.

“We’ve been clear with the opposition that de-Baathification in Syria is not the answer; disbanding the army is not the answer,” says a senior administration official.

He argues that there must be a process of transition that tries to keep reconcilable elements of the Syrian army and civil service intact.

This idea of a stable transition is easier to preach than to practice, especially when Syria has been fragmented by two years of civil war. But the opposition and its allies are finally taking real steps to foster security and governance after Assad is toppled.

The first key issue is creation of an interim govern-

This idea of a stable transition is easier to preach than to practice, especially when Syria has been fragmented by two years of civil war.” ment. Some members of the Syrian opposition coalition want to take this step quickly and claim Syria’s seat at the Arab League, Islamic Conference and U.N. General Assembly. But Sheik Ahmad Moaz al-Khatib, the head of the coalition, pulled back from a meeting last week scheduled to name an interim prime minister and Cabinet. He argued that any such sudden, showy move could fragment the opposition and increase internal chaos.

Backed by the U.S., Britain, France and Germany, Khatib argues instead that a smaller “executive authority” of the opposition should take the Arab League seat immediately, even as it builds new government institutions in liberated areas. Khatib also wants to assure the Syrian army and civil service that

they will have a role, postAssad.

A detailed plan for outreach to Assad’s military has been developed by Brig. Gen. Salim Idriss, the commander of the Free Syrian Army. The Idriss plan offers amnesty to “ranking officers in the Assad army” who communicate by email or Skype over the next month their willingness to cooperate. Those who refuse this offer would be named on a “black list” and eventually tried for war crimes.

“We need your skills and your expertise in weapons,” says Idriss to the army defectors. In a draft of his reconciliation plan, he tells members of Assad’s Alawite sect, “Be assured that we are not seeking vengeance.” And he offers to pardon any Alawite soldiers or officers who were “forced to obey the orders to kill.”

But what about right now, on the ground? Syrian rebels have already liberated much of northern Syria, and by one estimate more than 60 percent of Syrian GDP is now under the opposition’s control. Assad’s Syria was a highly centralized state, but the fragmentation and devolution of power have begun.

The challenge for the Syrian opposition and its allies is to fill this liberated space with good government and security, rather than warlordism.

The U.S. is finally moving to help the opposition build a new Syria in these newly freed areas, such as parts of Idlib, Aleppo and Deir al-

Zour provinces. Secretary of State John Kerry has just agreed to provide $60 million for local governance projects, including training police, running local councils, purifying drinking water and repairing shattered infrastructure.

The U.S. is also warily considering ways to provide security from air attacks for the liberated, self-governing areas. Already, Saudi Arabia and Qatar are providing some shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles, with America’s tacit blessing.

Despite these efforts to boost stability, the sad fact is that Syria is still on a trajectory toward becoming a failed state. This reality leads some pragmatists within the opposition to argue that Syria will need a transitional military government — a more benign version of the generals who ruled Egypt after the revolution and then handed off power to an elected government. Hopefully, that interim regime will have a civilian face.

Let’s be honest: When Assad is gone and Syria is finally rebuilding its state, it will need massive foreign economic and military assistance — probably including peacekeeping troops from the Arab League or even a NATO country such as Turkey. The alternative is a power vacuum in which terrorists will take root in the heart of the Middle East.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for March 18, 1913: YEARS “‘Burn the Chinch AGO Bugs.’ That is the IN 1913 new slogan of the Horticultural Society of Douglas county. At a meeting of the society held Saturday … a committee was appointed to begin an active campaign against the little pest of the wheat field.... It is the plan to burn off all meadows, pastures, roadsides and fence corners where the bugs exist.”

DD policy shift would mean higher cost, poorer service

By Karen Lowder

To the public, and especially to those who happen to know an individual with developmental disabilities, it looks like these individuals have a good life. They live and work in the community just like anyone else. They attend church like anyone else. They frequent restaurants, shops and community events just like anyone else. But what the public doesn’t see is the complex network of support that goes on behind the scenes, making that person’s life meaningful and successful.

This network of support in Kansas has been built over the last 40 years, started first by parents of children with developmental disabilities, whose only choice at the time was to keep their children at home or send them to an institution. Here in Lawrence, it was the Branson and Wiley families. But they wanted something more. Thus, with the help of funding from the county, the Community Mental Retardation Centers (CMRCs) were formed. Options were developed for day services, including paid work and then residential services so they could leave their parents’ home when they were ready to live on their own or with others in a group setting.

With passage of the DD Reform Act in 1995, the State designated the CMRCs as Community Developmental Disability Organizations (CDDOs), and individuals began moving out of institutions back to their communities. The CDDOs contract with the state to serve as the single point of entry for all services related to developmental disability. They also provide eligibility determination and set funding levels according to state guidelines. And

YOUR TURN in partnership with the state, CDDOs provide quality oversight of all community-based services. CDDOS help guide individuals in finding the types of services they need to become more independent and to live a more satisfying life, all for an administrative cost of 2.4 percent.

But now, Senate Bill 194 is threatening to dismantle the DD Reform Act by taking away functions of the CDDO, a system which has worked successfully for years. The ultimate goal of the bill is to position managed care organizations (MCOs) to take over those functions. Three for-profit insurance companies have contracted as MCOs with the state in its KanCare initiative. The state wants to hand over to the MCOs not only the CDDO functions, but the administration of all DD services by including everything in KanCare.

But the MCOs won’t do it for less than a 5 percent administrative fee.

Health insurance companies have no experience with providing nonmedical day-to-day services. They don’t know how to help a person find a job, get a bus pass or find a new place to live. You can’t guide someone in responsible money management from a call center.

Change can be a good thing, if it is needed and if it is given careful consideration. Neither is true in the state’s big push to include DD services in KanCare. If you care about people with developmental disabilities or if you only care that your tax dollars are being used wisely, please ask your legislator to keep DD services out of KanCare!”

Rising to the top KANSAS BASKETBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Under Self, KU dazzlingly consistent Bill Self is in his 10th season as Kansas University basketball coach but just his seventh without players who also played under predecessor Roy Williams.

Based on that, the 20062007 season is the best place to start for a true evaluation of how Self has performed in his dream job. (Jeremy Case, who was not in the 2006-07 or subsequent rotations, was the only player recruited by Williams.)

In that seven-year span, Self’s teams entered the NCAA Tournament as the No. 1 seed five times, a phenomenal total in any era and even more impressive in the age of one-and-done elite players and impatient high school stars who impulsively transfer more now than ever. Only North Carolina can compare, with four No. 1 seeds in the past seven seasons.

The only other schools with multiple top seeds in the past seven seasons: Duke, Kentucky, Louisville, Ohio State and Syracuse have two apiece. Connecticut, Florida, Gonzaga, Indiana, Memphis, Michigan State and UCLA each have had one.

Self’s No. 1 seeds came in 2006-07, 2007-08, 200910, 2010-11 and this season, when KU earned the No. 2 overall seed, ranking behind only Louisville.

Self’s two teams out of the past seven that didn’t earn No. 1 seeds were the 200809 squad that entered the tournament as a No. 3 seed and lost in the Sweet 16 to Michigan State and last season’s team, which was a No. 2 and lost to Kentucky in the national-title game.

Another way to look at this remarkable run that could continue next year if Kansas is able to add Andrew Wiggins and Julius Randle to an already-loaded recruiting class: Self has more No. 1 seeds in the past seven seasons than Billy Donovan, Tom Izzo and Mike Krzyzewski combined, more than Izzo and John Calipari (three, one with Memphis, two with Kentucky) combined.

How has he done it?

Obviously, he and his staff recruit well and create an environment that encourages unselfish, intense play.

They come to learn that their coach isn’t going to change what he wants so they might as well change what they’re giving him.

Great athletes such as the ones Kansas recruits tend to be stubborn. In time they

Jayhawks land No. 1 seed, draw WKU

Kansas University’s basketball team — the same team that lost three consecutive games in early February — on Sunday was awarded a No. 1 seed in the 2013 NCAA Tournament.

“We’re the No. 2 overall seed in the tournament — the No. 2 overall seed. Who would have ever thought that would be the case with this team?” KU coach Bill Self said enthusiastically after learning his Jayhawks (29-5) had been awarded the No. 1 seed in the South Regional

WESTERN KENTUCKY’S T.J. PRICE (52) CELEBRATES with teammates after the Hilltoppers won the Sun Belt Conference tournament championship game, 65-63 over Florida International, Please see KEEGAN, page 8B on March 11 in Hot Springs, Ark.

When Western Kentucky University guard Jamal Crook learned that his 16th-seeded Hilltoppers would face topseeded Kansas University in the second round of this year’s NCAA Tournament on Friday in Kansas City, Mo., his mind immediately flashed back to his senior season of high school in Las Vegas.

During the 2007-08 season opener for Durango High,

Crook first encountered KU point guard Elijah Johnson in a match-up of the city’s most highly recruited player (Johnson) and highest-rated newcomer (Crook).

At the time, Johnson, a junior at Cheyenne High, was on his way to becoming one of the top point-guard prospects in the nation, and he showed why during his match-up with Crook, scoring 18 points and leading the Desert Shields to a 78-77 overtime victory.

“I owe him,” he told the Bowling Green (Ky.) Daily News on Sunday, moments after the match-up was revealed. “I played him in my debut, and they beat us. I’ll remember that game in the back of my head as we go down there and take this ride.”

Mendoza, Royals sink White Sox SURPRISE, ARIZ. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Luis Mendoza is making it difficult for the Royals to keep him out of their starting rotation.

Making his first appearance for Kansas City since pitching for Mexico in the World Baseball Classic, Mendoza combined with four relievers on a fivehitter as the Royals routed the Chicago White Sox 10-0 Sunday.

Mendoza struck out four, walked one and lowered his spring training ERA to 0.82 in 11 innings. He threw 42 of 63 pitches for strikes.

Mendoza is competing for Kansas Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final rotation spot with Bruce Chen, who gave up five home runs Saturday against the Chicago Cubs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Of course, I want to start, but any position they give me Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to take it to help the team anyway I can,â&#x20AC;? Mendoza said.

Mendoza was the Caribbean Series MVP after pitching 131â &#x201E;3 scoreless innings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m 100 percent already,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just trying to keep the same rhythm and keep working hard. The first inning I just tried to establish my sinker and the next inning mix in my curveball and changeup. I think that was the key today.â&#x20AC;?

He had not pitched since throwing two scoreless innings against the U.S. on March 8. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Five very solid innings,â&#x20AC;? Royals manager Ned Yost said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing his part. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a couple of weeks left to see what happens, but it was a very nice outing today. The pitching was good all the way around today. The hitting was good. It was a great day. There were positives all the way around. I was trying to find

Nate Adcock, J.C. Gutierrez, Dan Wheeler and Greg Holland limited the White Sox to one hit the final four innings. Wheeler has allowed seven hits in eight scoreless innings over eight appearances, while walking one and striking out 12.

Kansas City had 18 hits, two each by Billy Butler and Alex Gordon. The Royals batted around in a four-run first inning that Gordon led off with a broken-bat single and included run-producing singles by Butler, Eric Hosmer and Jeff Francoeur.

White Sox starter Zach Stewart allowed seven runs, eight hits

and three walks in 22â &#x201E;3 innings, retiring eight of 18 batters.

Chicago scratched catcher Tyler Flowers with lower back stiffness, while infielder Jeff Keppinger is limited to designated hitter because of a tender shoulder. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like every day itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something else with somebody, but again the idea is to have them healthy when we are in Chicago,â&#x20AC;? White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to be cautious to get them to that point where they are healthy and start the season and if they are ready, too.

Kentucky headlines NIT field The Associated Press

This season, Kentucky is headlining another tournament.

The Wildcats, last seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national champion, will have to settle for trying to win the NIT. The Wildcats arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only SEC team snubbed by the NCAA tournament selection committee.

Alabama and Tennessee also missed the cut, marking the first time in 39 years that the Wildcats, Crimson Tide and Volunteers were left out of the same NCAA tournament.

The Wildcats (21-11) and Crimson Tide (21-12) are No. 1 seeds in the NIT, along with Southern Mississippi and Virginia.

The Wildcats, who struggled to live up to lofty preseason expectations, went 4-4 in their final eight games without freshman star Nerlens Noel, who had his season ended early with a knee injury that required surgery.

Kentucky, which played in the last two Final Fours under fourth-year coach John Calipari, becomes the 20th defending national champion to be left out of the NCAA tournament field and first since North Carolina in 2010.

The Wildcats will play at eighth-seeded Robert Morris on Tuesday because Rupp Arena is unavailable to the Wildcats.

The second and third round of the NCAA tournament is being played in Lexington.

Tennessee, Maryland, Baylor and Massachusetts are the No. 2 seeds.

Texas, George Mason in CBI Texas and George Mason highlight the 16-team field for the sixth annual College Basketball Invitational.

Out of the NCAA tournament for the first time in 15 years, coach Rick Barnes and the Longhorns (16-17) arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to the NIT, either. Instead, they accepted an invite to the lower-level CBI and will play at Houston on Wednesday night in a matchup of former powers.

George Mason goes on the road Tuesday night for its tournament opener against College of Charleston.

Nadal, Sharapova take titles at BNP Paribas Open INDIAN WELLS, CALIF. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Rafael Nadal rallied from a set and 1-3 down in the second to beat Juan Martin del Potro 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 in the BNP Paribas Open final on Sunday, giving the Spaniard his third title in four tournaments since returning from a seven-month injury layoff.

Nadal improved to a career-best 17-1 on the year, including 14 straight match wins. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s won three titles â&#x20AC;&#x201D; two on clay while runner-up in another on his favorite surface â&#x20AC;&#x201D; since returning from a left knee injury.

Maria Sharapova defeated Caroline Wozniacki 6-2, 6-2 to win her first title of the year in the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final between two former topranked players.

Indian Wells is his first hard-court title since Tokyo in October 2010, having lost in six previous finals on the surface. He won his 600th career match and will move to No. 4 in the rankings released today.

Nadal broke a tie with Roger Federer with his record 22nd career ATP Tour Masters 1000 title.

He earned $1 million for his third Indian Wells title.

Del Potro came up short in his bid to beat three Top-10 players in the same tournament for the second time in his career. He defeated No. 3 Andy Murray and No. 1 Novak Djokovic in three sets apiece in becoming the second Argentine since Guillermo Villas in 1977 to reach the final here.

Nadal served three love games in the third set, capping his last one with a 123-mph ace that gave him a 5-3 lead.

Del Potro came from love-40 down and fought off three match points to hold at 5-4. But Nadal served out the match, dropping just one point in the final game. As Del Potroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forehand sailed wide on his fourth match point, Nadal collapsed flat on his back after playing 21â &#x201E;2 hours in the desert heat.

He got up and hugged Del Potro, then trotted behind the baseline to clasp hands with billionaire tournament owner Larry Ellison of Oracle Corp. before falling to his knees near the net and raising his arms in celebration. Nadal playfully took a bite out of the Baccarat crystal trophy.

Del Potro saved three break points to lead 1-0 in the third. Nadal held at love, taking three games in a row for a 3-1 lead that he never gave up.

Nadal blew a 3-0 lead in the first set. From there, Del Potro won eight of the next nine games to claim the opening set and a take a 2-0 lead in the second. He went up 3-1 before Nadal grabbed the momentum, winning the final five games and the set 6-3 on a 105-mph ace that capped a love service game.

Sharapova dictated from the opening game, when she broke Wozniacki at love with groundstrokes that had the Dane running from side to side. Sharapova faced just two break points on her serve in the nearly 11â &#x201E;2-hour match. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always felt like I was always a foot ahead, especially with the breaks,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was able to serve well today, and that helped me.â&#x20AC;?

It was Sharapovaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second career title at Indian Wells, where she first won in 2006.

Wozniacki won here in 2011. The women met in a final for the first time; their six other matches came in earlier rounds.

Streelman finally PGA winner PALM HARBOR, FLA. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kevin Streelman finally won in his 153rd start on the PGA Tour with a game that looked as if he had done it many times before.

Streelman didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make a bogey over the final 37 holes on the tough Copperhead course at Innisbrook. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss a shot over the last 11 holes on his way to a 4-under 67 Sunday for a two-shot win in the Tampa Bay Championship.

Kahne wins at Bristol BRISTOL, TENN. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kasey Kahne won a Sprint Cup Series race at Bristol Motor Speedway for the first time Sunday after Brad Keselowski struggled on the final restart.

Tempers flared after the race. Joey Logano leaned inside the car window of former teammate Denny Hamlin to complain about Hamlin spinning him during the race. At the time, Logano was racing Jeff Gordon for the lead.

Logano was pulled away from Hamlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car by crew members for both drivers.

The first baseman rejoined the New York Yankees at spring training Sunday after getting hurt March 5 while with the U.S. team at the World Baseball Classic. The injury initially was announced as a strained wrist.

Overall No. 1 Louisville is a slight betting favorite to win the NCAA tournament, but Las Vegas casinos think any one of several teams have a legitimate shot at winning college basketball’s national championship.

Executive Director Jay Kornegay of the race and sports book at the Las Vegas Hotel & Casino had Louisville at 9-2 odds on Sunday night after the tournament’s seedings were announced. Right behind the Cardinals were third overall No. 1 seed Indiana at 7-1 and three teams at 8-1 — No. 2 seeds Duke and Miami, along with Florida, a No. 3 seed.

Next is Kansas at 10-1 and Gonzaga at 12-1.

But good luck finding a consensus.

“When people look at the odds, it reflects opinion and money and not necessarily in that order,” Kornegay said.

Miami, for example, has been a big fan favorite after opening the season at 200-1 odds to win the national championship, Kornegay said.

Jay Rood, vice president of race and sports for MGM Resorts International, said Louisville would also be the top favorite at its 10 casinos on the Las Vegas Strip, but that opinions will vary widely among bookmakers.

“I think there are a dozen or so teams that could legitimately end up in the championship game,” Rood said. “The first 16 teams that you’re going to see on our list could be very different.”

Indiana, whom Kornegay set as his casino’s second-highest favorite, will open behind Duke, Kansas and Georgetown at MGM Resorts, Rood said.

Even though it is the top favorite, Louisville’s odds worsened from 3-1 after selections were announced and put them in the same region as Duke, No. 3 seed Michigan State, No. 4 seed Saint Louis and No. 12 seed Oregon.

“In our opinion, as a No. 1 seed that’s a pretty loaded bracket,” Kornegay said.

Last year, eventual champions Kentucky were a clear favorite from the tournament’s start.

“There’s more parity,” said gambling expert R.J. Bell of Pregame.com.

“There’s going to be that bundle at the top.”

Bell said that despite an unfathomable number of bracket combinations, casinos know that a No. 4 seed or better has won the title in 24 straight years.

Conference champion Miami.

The top spots are significant in at least one respect: A No. 1 has never lost to a 16th-seeded team.

Miami, known more as a football school, became the first ACC team to be denied a top seed after winning both the regular season and the conference tournament.

“We try to control the things we can control,” coach Jim Larranaga said.

“We have no control over that. Wherever they seed us, wherever they send us, whoever we play, we’ll get ready just like we do for every game.”

The Hurricanes were among the No. 2 seeds with conference rival Duke, Georgetown from the Big East, and Big Ten tournament champion Ohio State.

the greatest conferences in the history of college basketball with a Big East championship,” Louisville coach Rick Pitino said.

“Our players showed incredible grit to come back from 16 points down. We know we will be challenged right away in one of the toughest brackets that I’ve seen in quite some time. I think our guys are up for the challenge.”

No. 7 Kansas (29-5) moved up to take the second overall seed after an impressive run through the Big 12 tournament, punctuated by a 70-54 victory over rival Kansas State in the title game.

No. 3 Indiana (28-6) is third overall despite falling to Wisconsin in the Big Ten semifinals. The Zags claimed the last of the coveted No. 1 seeds, edging out Atlantic Coast

Louisville is the top seed in the NCAA Tournament after a topsy-turvy season in college basketball, capped by another round of upsets over the weekend.

That other team from the Bluegrass State won’t even get a chance to defend its national title.

While the Big East champion Cardinals surged to the top of the 68-team bracket released Sunday, joined by fellow No. 1 seeds Kansas, Indiana and Gonzaga, the school that won it all a year ago was left out of the field. Kentucky was hoping the committee would overlook a dismal performance in the Southeastern Conference tournament, but the Wildcats had to settle for a spot in the second-tier National Invitation Tournament.

“You’ve got to earn it each and every year,” said Mike Bobinski, the Xavier athletic director who chaired the selection committee.

As if that’s not bad enough for Kentucky fans, Louisville (29-5) gets to rub a little more salt in its rival’s wounds by opening the tournament about 75 miles from campus on Kentucky’s home court, Rupp Arena in Lexington.

The Cardinals will face either Liberty or North Carolina State in a second-round game Thursday. Kentucky plays an NIT game Tuesday — on the road because Rupp is taken for the NCAAs — at Robert Morris.

The selection committee had its work cut out after five teams swapped the top ranking in The Associated Press poll, capped by West Coast Conference champion Gonzaga (30-2) mov-

K-State gets 4 seed, trip to Kansas City MANHATTAN (AP) — Bruce Weber got what he wanted from the NCAA Tournament selection committee.

Kansas State is playing close to home.

The Wildcats earned a No. 4 seed in the West Region and will open the tournament on Friday against Boise State or La Salle, who will play a firstround game Wednesday in Dayton, Ohio.

More important, though, the Wildcats (277) will be playing that game at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo., where the Wildcats beat Florida during the regular season and then won two more games to reach the championship game of the Big 12 tournament.

The Wildcats lost to Kansas, the No. 1 seed in the South Region, on Saturday night.

“You can’t be more pleased than to be in Kansas City,” Weber said, “and then my wish-list was to play Friday, because it just gives us another day to kind of rest, get treatment, relax.”

The Wildcats are in

KANSAS STATE FORWARD JORDAN HENRIQUEZ TAKES UP FOUR CHAIRS while waiting with teammates for their NCAA Tournament fate on Sunday in Manhattan. the NCAA Tournament for the fourth straight year, and their No. 4 seed matches the 1988 team that reached the regional finals for the second-best slot. Kansas State also made the regional finals as a No. 2 seed in 2010 under former coach Frank Martin.

It was Martin’s defec-

tion for South Carolina after last season that opened up a job for Weber, who was let go by Illinois. And while the hiring wasn’t popular initially, Weber managed to win over Kansas State fans with every victory, and was ultimately voted Big 12 coach of the year.

Now, he’ll try to win

over even more fans in the NCAA tournament.

The Wildcats were drawn into a region that includes fifth-seeded Wisconsin, the team that knocked them out of the NCAA tournament two years ago. The Badgers could be awaiting them in the round of 32 if they manage to beat Ole Miss,

the SEC tournament champion.

“I’m focused on Boise State and La Salle,” the Wildcats’ Shane Southwell said. “We’re sick of playing against Big 12 teams, because it’s like practice almost. You know everything everybody’s going to do. Now it’s more exciting, more spontaneous, I guess.”

The Wildcats didn’t know where they’d land in the bracket.

They figured they burnished their resume with high-profile wins over the Gators and a 14-4 record in the Big 12, but they also lost marquee games to Michigan and Gonzaga — the No. 1 seed in their region — along with all three match-ups they played against the Jayhawks.

“I’m just happy that we get to play close to (Manhattan),” said Rodney McGruder, the Wildcats’ leading scorer. “We’re fortunate that we made the tournament. You can’t really think about, ‘Man, we should have been a 2 seed or 3 seed. You just got to be happy with what you get.”

Heat 108, Raptors 91 TORONTO — Back where their winning streak started on Super Bowl Sunday, the Miami Heat kept rolling right into March Madness.

Now it’s on to Boston to face the rival Celtics — the team who ended the last streak this long.

The Heat equaled the second-longest winning streak in NBA history, pulling away in the fourth quarter Sunday to beat the Toronto Raptors for their 22nd consecutive victory.

“It’s a special ride right now that we’re on,” LeBron James said. “The best thing about it is we’re doing it together.”

James had 22 points and 12 rebounds for his careerbest 32nd double-double of the season, Dwyane Wade had 24 points and nine assists, and Ray Allen scored 16 of his 20 points in the fourth quarter for the defending NBA champions.

Chris Bosh finished with 18 points as the Heat matched the 22 consecutive wins recorded by the 2007-08 Houston Rockets.

The NBA’s longest streak is 33 games, set by the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers.

Miami will try to move into sole possession of second today when it visits the Celtics — who ended the Rockets’ run five years ago and have won 11 in a row at home.

“If there’s any group that would be motivated in a circumstance like this, it’s that team in green,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said.

“I don’t know if the streak will be a big factor but they love playing against us, and vice versa. That’s what happens when you meet a team consecutively in the playoffs. There’s a history there, and that’s what makes these games special.”

The Heat have faced the Celtics twice so far this season. They blew out Boston 120-107 in Miami on opening night, then lost 100-98 in double-overtime on the road on Jan. 27, the day Boston learned that Rajon Rondo needed knee surgery.

“They played better than us for a large part of that game,” Spoelstra said.

Winners of two straight, the Celtics may be without veteran forward Kevin Garnett today. The 15-time All-Star sat out Saturday’s victory over Charlotte with a strained left thigh and is day-to-day.

“We have to treat them with the respect they deserve,” Spoelstra said.

“Regardless of who plays for them, that’s a team that will come out with an incredible amount of urgency.”

Wade called the looming matchup with Boston “a great challenge.”

“I think we’ll be ready for it,” he said. “We’ve got to get our rest and we’ve got to know we’re going to have a dog fight on our hands.”

Heat forward Shane Battier, who played on the 2007-08 Rockets, inspired his teammates with a speech after their Feb. 3 win over Toronto. The 11year veteran spoke again after Sunday’s victory, an address that Spoelstra called “passionate” and “pure.”

“Coach Riley gets paid close to six figures for his speeches,” Spoelstra said, referring to former Heat coach and current team president Pat Riley.

“I don’t know what Shane should charge now, but he should get something.”

Miami blew it open Sunday behind Allen’s 3-point shooting after Toronto tied it at 77 early in the fourth quarter.

“Those (3-pointers) are what we feared for so many years (when Allen was with Boston),” Spoel-

MIAMI’S LEBRON JAMES, RIGHT, DRIVES past Amir Johnson during the second half on Sunday in Toronto. Miami won its 22nd straight game, 108-91. stra said. “He can turn a game around just like that.”

Toronto is the third team with multiple losses to the Heat during the streak. Miami has beaten Philadelphia three times and Atlanta twice.

“You talk about a welloiled machine, those guys are efficient both offensively and defensively,” Raptors coach Dwane Casey said. “They do it in a classy way. They are well put together.”

Rudy Gay scored 27 and Amir Johnson had 18 points and 18 rebounds as the Raptors lost their 11th straight against Miami, extending their longest active losing streak against a single opponent.

KANSAS BASKETBALL COACH BILL SELF TAKES QUESTIONS DURING A NEWS CONFERENCE following the NCAA Selection Show on Sunday at Allen Fieldhouse. KU earned the No. 1 seed in the South Region.

now after winning their (Sun Belt) tournament.

I’m sure they will come in feeling really confident.

We have to take them serious and give everything we’ve got.”

Former KU coach Roy Williams’ North Carolina Tar Heels (24-10) loom as a possible second-round foe if the Heels can get past Villanova (20-13) at 6:20 p.m. Friday.

KU beat Williams’ Tar Heels in the 2008 Final Four and 2012 regional finals.

“Who knows if that will happen, if it’ll play out that way. I know we are focused on Western Kentucky,” Self said. “If it goes in that direction and we both win a game, I’m sure Kansas City will have a little interest in that one based on the past.

We know if it does happen we’ll be playing a great team.”

Williams told his school’s official website that he was “disappointed” the ACC had just four teams reach the tournament: No. 2 seeds in Duke and Miami and No. 8s in Carolina and N.C. State.

“I was surprised, not just surprised but disappointed for our league,” Williams said. “You look around ... some other teams in our league I think deserve to be in. It shows almost no respect to have two 2s and the next two teams to be 8s. To me that’s disap-

pointing. It really is. The bottom line is that’s what happened. Now you’ve got to go play.”

News. “Bill Self does as good of a job as anyone in the country. But I know our guys will go compete.”

Western Kentucky’s relevance in college basketball is not limited to the recent past. The Hilltoppers own four NCAA Tournament victories since 2008; boast 22 NCAA Tournament berths all-time; have corralled 42 conference championships, which is tied for third most in NCAA history; and are 17th in NCAA history in all-time wins (1,659). In addition, the program has advanced to the Sweet 16 seven times and qualified for the Final Four in 1971 in Houston, where it topped, of all teams, Kansas.

None of that will mean much Friday, when Western Kentucky tries to solve a KU team that won its ninth straight Big 12 regular-season title and

the toughest bracket of the four. We’re excited about it. We’re certainly happy to be a 1 seed. Now the goal is not to be a 1 seed.

The goal is to go play like a 1 seed.”

The Jayhawks were elated to be accorded a top seed in the South, which culminates with Sweet 16 and Elite Eight games to be played in Dallas. “(We’re) definitely excited,” senior point guard Elijah Johnson said. “Just to hear someone call you as a No. 1 means you have been one of the best-performing teams around. It’s an honor to be a No. 1 seed regardless of how you use it. Most teams tend to use it as an advantage. That’s what we plan on doing instead of thinking we’ve got a title. We just want to show why we are a No. 1 seed.”

Noted senior center Jeff Withey: “We’re excited to be a No. 1 seed. It’s not going to be easy at all. We’ve got to look at everything as a two-day tournament almost. We don’t know too much about Western Kentucky right now.

We’re excited to be playing against them. We know we are going to get everybody’s best shot.

field of 68 by winning four games in four days in the Sun Belt Conference’s postseason tournament.

WKU finished just 10-10 in conference play during the regular season, but knocked off three schools that finished above them in the standings on consecutive days by a total of seven points to earn a second straight trip to the NCAA Tournament.

Although winning the conference tournament guaranteed the ’Toppers a spot in the tourney, WKU coach Ray Harper still seemed thrilled about what his squad had accomplished.

“It’s what you play for,” Harper told the Daily News. “It’s what you work for, to enjoy the whole

process. They’re the No. 1 seed for a reason. It’s one of those deals where you’re extremely excited that you’re still playing, and we’ll go play. We’ll see what happens.”

The Hilltoppers are not a typical 16 seed.

In last year’s NCAAs, WKU topped Mississippi Valley State, 59-58, in a first-round game in Dayton, Ohio, before falling to eventual-champion Kentucky, 81-66, in the second round. And this year, the Hilltoppers played four games against tournament teams, including back-to-back battles with Louisville and VCU and two match-ups with Sun Belt champion Middle Tennessee. WKU lost all four games, but such experiences should keep them from being overwhelmed by facing Kansas.

“Great program, great team, big challenge,” Harper told the Daily

Big 12 represented: Self on the Big 12 getting five teams (KU, K-State, Iowa State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State) in the tourney: “I didn’t think we had a chance at six. I thought Baylor would have to make some hay in the tournament to get to six. I think our league did pretty well. Any time you get 50 percent of the teams in, you are probably having a pretty good year.”

A No. 16 seed has never beaten a 1: “It will happen eventually,” Self said.

“Certainly we don’t want that to happen. I’ll pull for all the 1 seeds to make sure that doesn’t happen this year if I need to do that. ... There will be a lot of mild upsets in this tournament,” he added because of increased parity.

They know each other: Western Kentucky coach Ray Harper and KU coach Self are friends.

“He is one of the best coaches in America,” Harper said. “When I was the coach at Oklahoma City (University), we dealt with each other a lot.

Actually had one of his kids that worked out with us in the summer (OKC native Darnell Jackson).

His grandmother had

been sick. We let him stay in Oklahoma City for the summer, and we worked him out, and he was projected to be a backup, and he ended up as their starting center, and they won the national championship, and he ended up being a (second-round) draft pick.”

Tapes: Self said KU already had a batch of tape on Western Kentucky thanks to modern technology. KU has tape of all major-college teams available on its computer system.

More on game time: KU’s game on Friday will start approximately 8:50 p.m., or 30 minutes after a 6:20 p.m. contest between Villanova and North Carolina.

Perfection: KU is one of three teams with perfect APR scores and 100 percent graduation rates of the 68 teams in the tournament, NCAA Research tweeted on Sunday. Notre Dame and Belmont are the others. Six teams in the tourney have perfect APRs: KU, Notre Dame, Belmont, Butler, Memphis and Michigan. Eleven teams have 100 percent graduation rates: KU, Belmont, Bucknell, Duke, Davidson, Harvard, Illinois, J-W Staff Reports Pacific, Notre Dame, VilSACRAMENTO, CALIF. — lanova and Western KenFreshman pitcher Kesley tucky.

KU softball falls in extras, 1-0 they made was correct — you just usually don’t see them all in one game.

So that was odd, but they were right. They called a good game; it was just unlucky for us.”

KU senior left fielder Maggie Hull went 2-for4 but was the center of the most devastating out called against the Jayhawks. With a game scoreless, Hull drilled a triple to the right-field corner in the top of the fifth. She took off for home on an overthrown ball, but was tagged out when it was ruled she didn’t touch the plate.

Among the other oddities: KU junior Alex Jones was called out on a fouled bunt third strike; Hull was called out for being out of the box on a bunt in the eighth; and Jones (7-1) being called for an illegal pitch that allowed the winning run to advance to third.

After playing 28 straight on the road, KU will open its home schedule Thursday by playing host to a doubleheader with Missouri State. Game time is 3 p.m. at Arrocha Ballpark.

to address this without being hurtful. Even the boss is afraid to speak to Justin, because he’ll fall apart.

Criticism will not be helpful. Instead, please try to mentor Justin. Teach him, carefully and consistently, even though it requires constant repetition. Even 3-year-olds can learn, given enough instruction and practice. It’s certainly

Two new series aim to thrill viewers Ready for a “Psycho” prequel?

The new series “Bates Motel” (9 p.m., A&E) aims to explain the devolution of Norman Bates (Freddie Highmore) from teenager to serial killer. As in most psychological queries, we begin with the mother. ‘‘Bates” is an ambitious, cinematic attempt at a TV thriller that suffers from a maddening inconsistency in tone. At first, it seems to be set in 1960, or at least lost in time. But once Norman’s teen contemporaries arrive with their smartphones and earbuds, you halfway think “Bates” has been kidnapped by a CW show.

Then, it’s back to the Bates’ mansion (that looks borrowed from the Universal Theme Park), where a gruesome rape and murder scene takes us in another direction entirely.

For a far more original effort, don’t miss the seven-part miniseries “Top of the Lake” (8 p.m., Sundance). ‘‘Lake” stars Elisabeth Moss (“Mad Men”) as a troubled detective out to find a missing, suicidal 12-year-old girl, who happens to be five months pregnant. The girl is the daughter of violent drug lord Matt Mitcham (Peter Mullan), who presides over a cultlike family from a ramshackle compound. They live in a bucolic spot aptly named Paradise.

Mitcham gets even more violent when it appears that a local realtor has sold a parcel of his hideaway to a mystical guru, GJ (Holly Hunter), who uses it to create a healing retreat for wounded women.

The cultural collision of angry alpha-dog males and GJ’s newage feminist troupe is unforgettable. Like many efforts from writer and director Jane Campion, “Lake” is slow to build, but more than pays off. Filmed in New Zealand, the series’ gorgeous and haunting scenery shows human darkness wallowing in the full light of day.

Tonight’s other highlights Doomsday preppers are murder suspects on “Bones” (7p.m., Fox).

“Dancing With the Stars” (7p.m., ABC) begins its 16th season.

Carroll wants to see his wife on “The Following” (8 p.m., Fox).

Formerly comfortable families face poverty in the 2013 documentary “American Winter” (8 p.m., HBO).

J.R.’s will affects everyone on “Dallas” (8 p.m., TNT).

Vivian’s killer is revealed on the season finale of “Deception” (9 p.m., NBC).

better than banging your head against the wall in frustration.

Dear Annie: I am 16 years old and have a twin sister. We both make excellent grades and are popular with teachers and friends. But we constantly fight. I am controlling and demanding around her. She doesn’t respond to me, listen to me or respect me. I’m sure that’s why I am so controlling.

The past few months have been miserable for me. I absolutely cannot wait to go off to college and be away from my sister. I realize that I am part of the problem because I do cause some drama. But she makes me feel bad about myself, and as a result, I hate being around her. Life is her way or the highway.

She will demand that I help her with school, so I do. But if the help isn’t up to her standards, she screams at me, hits me

Dear Annie: I am 55 years old and have worked at my job for 25 years. A couple of years ago, the company hired a 26-yearold guy. I have been patient, but I am reaching the end of my rope. ‘‘Justin” cannot remember what was said the minute he hangs up the telephone. He doesn’t pay attention to what he is doing. He lies all the time, and we all know it. He takes on no new responsibilities, which drives the rest of us crazy. He just does his work and then plays on the Internet. It seems that he’s simply along for the ride.

I have asked him to do some tasks, thinking that he’d catch on, but he’s not grabbing the carrot. He makes the same mistakes over and over, and mind you, he deals with other people’s money. We don’t think he cares one bit about anyone except himself.

I cannot think of a way

Extend growing season with low tunnels

B

uilding low tunnels over existing garden beds can extend the growing season and protect crops from insect damage.

Step 1: Prepare and plant garden beds that are between 30–36 inches wide and spaced at least 3 feet apart. Extra spacing between beds increases accessibility.

Step 2: Use 10-foot lengths of half-inch metal conduit or half-inch PVC pipe to create hoops along each garden bed. Longer lengths of pipe can span multiple rows or make taller tunnels, but they are not as easy to work with and are often costprohibitive.

Step 3: Use a digging bar to poke 12-inch-deep holes at 5-foot intervals along both sides of the garden bed or drive 24-inch pieces of rebar 12 inches into the ground at similar intervals.

@lcom facebook.com/ lawrencekansas

Step 4: Use a pipe bender to shape the metal conduit into arches and insert one leg of the conduit into each hole or over the rebar stakes on either side of the bed.

For PVC pipe applications, station one person on either side of the garden bed and gently bend the pipe into shape, placing one end into each hole or over the rebar stake on either side.

Step 5: Drive a stake into the ground 5 feet in front of and another 5 feet in back of the garden bed.

Step 6: Create a “backbone” for the structure by looping a section of clothesline rope around the top point of each arch, pulling it tight between arches and leaving a fair amount of rope on either end.

Step 7: Pull the rope taut and tie it securely to the stakes both in front of

and in back of the tunnel.

Step 8: Cover the tunnel with a length of floating row cover. Weight the row cover down along the sides of the tunnel with sand tubes, rocks or lumber.

Step 9: Add extra support to the structure by pulling the row cover taut on either end, bunching it together and tying it off on the stakes at the front and back of the tunnel.

Step 10: To extend the growing season in colder climates, add a layer of clear plastic over the top of the floating row cover and weight it down on the sides with the same sand tubes, rocks or lumber. Roll the plastic back on sunny days to prevent the tunnel from overheating.

HUTCHINSON IS OUT OF THIS WORLD

Y

ouâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re traveling to another dimension, a dimension of time and space. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just crossed over into â&#x20AC;Ś Hutchinson.

It may not quite be the Twilight Zone, but for a distinctly otherworldly experience, head to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hutch,â&#x20AC;? where you can travel 238,900 miles out in space to the moon or dive 650 feet down into the earth to a salt deposit that was formed 275 million years ago from the vast sea that once covered this Kansas prairie.

Although itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s less than three hoursâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; driving time away from Lawrence, Hutchinson offers such out-of-this-world experiences that you might as well be on another planet.

OUTTA SPACE The big draw for most visitors to Hutchinson is the Smithsonian-affiliated Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center, where adults and kids can have a galactically good time while investigating galleries that raise space travel to an art form.

Housing the largest collection of U.S. and Russian space artifacts in the world (including the original Apollo 13 command module and the original Liberty Bell 7 Mercury capsule), the Cosmosphere also hosts award-winning camp programs.

From the moment you enter the lobby, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hit with mind-blowing sights, like an SR-71 Blackbird spy plane.

Then youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to decide what to do next. Explore

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need all day to see and do it all because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a universe of wonders to discover.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss the live rocket demonstrations in Dr. Goddardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lab, where kids can shoot things off on a daily basis.

A tram tour, The Dark Ride, takes you through a maze of chambers with a stop to mine your own salt. Kids love getting up to their elbows in salt and taking their own salt crystals home. The Salt Mine Express, a miniature train, travels along a half-mile route while you see amazing things that long-ago miners left behind.

The mine is also home to Underground Vaults and Storage, a private company that stores the original film of many movies, including â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gone with the Windâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ben-Hur.â&#x20AC;?

The zoo focuses primarily on North American species that are native to Kansas, so youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see bobcats, bald eagles, foxes, bison, raccoons, mule deer and white-tailed deer. The zoo also boasts a large herpetological collection of snakes, turtles, Gila monsters, lizards and other reptiles.

TURNING THE TIDE As traditional churches see interest wane, upstarts draw in young people

BY ARLEY HOSKIN

B

ars aren’t the only venue downtown where patrons can find dim lights, loud music and 20-somethings swaying rhythmically.

Visit Velocity Church, Greenhouse Culture or Vintage Church on any given Sunday morning and you likely will see a similar scene. These churches offer the Gospel of Christ in what some might call a hipster-friendly setting.

Justin Jenkins, 30, is pastor of Velocity Church, which meets at Lawrence Arts Center, 940 New Hampshire St. Jenkins launched the church with $25,000 from the Association of Related Churches in 2011. He said he hopes to lead people closer to God. The association provides funds to ministers who want to plant a church in the form of an interest-free loan, association spokesman Guy Walker said. When the new church pays back the loan, the association invests that money into planting another church.

At Velocity, Jenkins is the only paid staff member. He said this keeps costs down and enables the church to give more back to the community.

Last year, on the Sunday before Christmas, Jenkins didn’t collect an offering. Instead, he passed out envelopes filled with $50 bills and told the congregation to take the money and use it to help someone in need.

Jenkins said the church gave away $3,500 that Sunday, about 40 percent of its monthly offering intake at the time.

“The whole point was we want generosity for people.

We don’t want generosity from people,” Jenkins said.

Jenkins would not disclose how much the church brings in each month, but he said giving has jumped dramatically in 2013.

THE REV. JUSTIN JENKINS, RIGHT, pastor of Velocity Church, visits with Derock Swaggert, left, and Brysson Rockwell, both of Tampa, Fla., following a Velocity Church service March 10 at Lawrence Arts Center, 940 New Hampshire St. ‘A CHURCH THAT CARES’ Jenkins trained for his ministry career at Rhema Bible Training College, a nonaccredited school in Broken Arrow, Okla.

The Association of Related Churches doesn’t require the pastors it supports to be ordained by a denomination or trained in an accredited seminary.

“There are actually studies today that show that the most successful churches are run by guys who have busi-

ness degrees instead of seminary degrees,” Walker said.

Like Jenkins, pastors Jared Scholz, 33, and Deacon Godsey, 38, do not have seminary degrees.

Scholz started Greenhouse Culture, which meets in the former Masonic Temple at 10th and Massachusetts Streets, last March.

Godsey became pastor at Vintage Church in 2011.

Vintage Church launched eight years ago and meets at Liberty Memorial Central Middle School at 15th and Massachusetts streets.

Only wear trends that you are comfortable and confident wearing, because I truly believe it shows if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not comfortable with your outfit.

EMILY KENNEDY

Circle, above, and cat-eye sunglasses

Spring accessories report A

new season calls for brand-new trends that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m typically eager to try â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or, in some cases, to completely avoid.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m all about wearing the latest trends, but I stick to an important fashion rule Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made up for myself: Only wear trends that you are comfortable and confident wearing, because I truly believe it shows if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not comfortable with your outfit.

That being said, there are several unique and striking accessory trends popping up in the retail world, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m ready to give them a whirl.

Jewelry plays a pivotal role in any outfit, meaning it can be a complete game-changer. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s say you throw on a simple jeans-and-tee outfit, but add in a statement necklace and layer on some stackable bracelets. All of a sudden, your simple look just got a noticeable upgrade.

There are a couple of new and recycled trends that have caught my eye for spring. Brooches have made a comeback in a big way. Instead of throwing them on the designated shoulder of your sweater, place them front and center on a buttoned-to-the-top collared shirt.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m drawn to this menswear-inspired trend because it looks polished and put-together. Since brooches were put on the map long ago, you can find affordable styles at thrift and vintage stores. This is a great way to save a

There are two more trends surfacing that I plan to wear all spring and summer. Delicate and statement jewelry can be found just about everywhere. Urban Outfitters has some of my favorite simplistic pieces, including a hand harness, which Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been eyeing for weeks. Francescaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is the hub for colorful and affordable statement jewelry that really makes an outfit pop.

Bags donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just serve as a stylish accessory; for me, their practical use is key. Crossbody bags and clutches are my

favorite styles, hands down. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why: Crossbody automatically translates to hands-free.

Clutches come in all shapes, sizes and colors, and the fact that they are lightweight makes them my go-to bag for any event or night out.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m currently obsessed with both bag styles in many colors. Bright colors and pastels are particularly popular for the upcoming spring and summer season. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen some really great styles from Zara.com, Kieuâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Britches.

Sunglasses have always been, again, a practical piece in my wardrobe. Honestly, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never really invested in a designer pair because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been known to either lose them or accidentally break them. However, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been on the search for a nice pair of sunglasses because the older I get, the better I take care of my wardrobe.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an infinite amount of styles out there, but this season Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be wearing the circle and cat-eye frames. Check out Urban Outfitters for on-trend, affordable sunglasses, and Hobbs for some fabulous European-inspired styles if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the mood to invest. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Emily Kennedy is one-half of the stylish duo behind The Fashion Column blog she shares with her twin sister, Elizabeth.

Teens not wired to be respectful Dear Dr. Wes and Katie: I have a 17-yearold son and a 14-year-old daughter. Both are good kids. No drugs, drinking, bullying, etc.

I struggle, however, with respect from them.

I find myself nagging at them because I ask them once to do something and then they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it, and then I get ugly with them because I have to repeat it.

Katie: My parents also have a 17-year-old (me) and a 14-year-old (my brother), and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure they can sympathize. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be the first to admit that I never clean my room before my motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth or fifth supplication. I can write with confidence that my brother waits until about the 10th asking.

Without endorsing teenage laziness, I will try to explain it. As teens undergo the physical, emotional and social renovations that are the sources of so many Double Take topics, it becomes difficult for them to concern themselves with othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; struggles. To their young eyes, their own problems often look like tsunamis compared with the afternoon drizzles of their friends and family.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not saying that teenagers are inherently selfish. I am continually impressed by the caring and generosity I see among my peers. However, adolescence is supposed to be the transformation of self-centered, carefree children into empathetic, responsible adults.

Those mature qualities may not yet be fully developed in 14- and 17-year-olds. I doubt their behavior stems from a lack of respect for you â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t being disrespectful by neglecting to help you.

Teachers can attest to the aggravation of having to replay directions like an iPod on repeat.

Many can also speak to the long-term ineffectiveness of nagging, which only leads to irritation in both the nagger and the nagged.

Just as students involve themselves more in classes they find interesting, teens are more

Double TAKE DR. WES CRENSHAW AND KATIE GUYOT likely to perform tasks if they can see their importance.

To convince your children that parental orders arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t arbitrary, try phrasing them as cooperative rather than dictatorial instructions.

Feeling respected can motivate teens to contribute respect and effort in return.

On that note, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m off to tidy up my room before my parents get a chance to read todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s column. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing like Double Take to unearth my teenage guilt.

Dr. Wes: This issue is never about respect.

In fact, teenagers arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even wired to be respectful. Some seem more so than others, but in general, Katie is right â&#x20AC;&#x201D; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re too caught up in teenager things to think about respect.

By the way, what passed for respect in earlier generations was actually a fear of violent retribution. Nobody respects anyone who hits him or her.

A while back, someone came up with a really bad word for the tried-and-true reward system that gets kids to do what you want them to do.

They relabeled it as â&#x20AC;&#x153;bribingâ&#x20AC;? kids. Thinking

this way is ridiculous and has no basis in behavioral psychology.

As I am writing this, my son is doing an amazing job of cleaning my office â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not because he feels a commitment to my business or wants to contribute to our family. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting paid. My daughter has similar tasks.

Is this a â&#x20AC;&#x153;bribe?â&#x20AC;? If so, then clients must â&#x20AC;&#x153;bribeâ&#x20AC;? me to see them. I â&#x20AC;&#x153;bribeâ&#x20AC;? the grocery store to give me food, and I â&#x20AC;&#x153;bribeâ&#x20AC;? my associate Adrian and my office manager Carrie to work for me.

I do not give my kids much. I give them lots of chances to earn money and let them buy things themselves. They do get to travel with me, we buy them food and clothes, and they each get a Christmas and birthday gift.

I do very little nagging. I simply say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do your job or Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll give it to someone else.â&#x20AC;?

I encourage all my clients to go this route when it comes to kids, money and chores. Stick with this system tenaciously, and instead of having spoiled consumer kids, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get teens who understand that money doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t flow out of an ATM at the whim of a magic plastic card.

Finally, if your kids are as well behaved as you say, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d suggest you do a victory lap rather than get so worried about chores. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no correlation between how kids handle their laundry and their strength of character as adults. And in the end, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what really matters in parenting: character. 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;?

This weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s puzzle

PET POST

{

See answer next Monday!

Last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s solution Special to the Journal-World

LUCKY chews his Christmas bone. He was rescued by Calvin and Jean Flory when he was about 2 years old. He enjoyed chasing squirrels, walks, playing ball and riding in the truck with Calvin. Now that he is 16, he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hear and his pastimes are sleeping, eating and his evening treats. He has always been a very loving and faithful companion. Jean Flory, Lawrence, submitted the photo. Got a picture for Pet Post? Bring in or mail a Pet Post photo and some information about your pet to the Journal-World, 645 N.H., Lawrence, KS 66044 or email it to go@ljworld.com.
