KU student leaders look at consent training ———

The Martins have spent hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars over the years on their display, which is almost completely built by hand. The couple say it’s now much more polished

An Al Jazeera America video that featured Kansas University students discussing their drunken sexual encounters threw light on a local version of a common college problem: the dangerous mix of alcohol, sex, ignorance and the social lives of college students.

Partly as a response, some KU students are pushing for beefed-up sexual assault and consent training for students, with the goal of both preventing sexual assault and making KANSAS KU a model for other universi- UNIVERSITY ties.

In the October video, since removed from Al Jazeera America’s website, three male KU students discussed sexual encounters with women while drunk, and while their partners were drunk, as well as fears of being accused of rape.

Couple’s light show draws crowds

By Giles Bruce gbruce@ljworld.com

Gary Martin doesn’t keep track of how many hours he spends planning and setting up his animated Christmas light display in Lawrence. He just knows it’s a lot.

But he hopes people appreciate the effort when they pull up to the front of his home, tune the radio to 96.9 FM and bask in the Christmas cheer.

Since 2008, Martin and his wife, Mary Ann, have been illuminating their west Lawrence neighborhood with an animated light display that is now visited by thousands of vehicles a year. Theirs is among a handful of animated displays in the area.

From Thanksgiving to the first week of January, every night from 5:15-10 p.m. (11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday), people can park in front of the Martins’ home at 1132 Parkside Circle, tune in to the radio and

towards becoming a premier programming university� that others look to for modeling sexual assault training.

Jane McQueeny, executive director of Institutional Opportunity and Access, which manages the program, said 86 percent of students at KU completed the training in 2012, the program’s first year. That number slid to just over 57 percent of students this year. McQueeny said her office has worked hard on the training. “I think it’s really engaging, she said, but she acknowledges, “I’m not the demographic.�

The office is currently discussing with KU administration the possibility of adding an enforcement mechanism, McQueeny said.

Amanda Schulze, another committee member and president of KU’s Commission on the Status of Women, describes the training program as “basically just a white PowerPoint.� She, too, thinks students should have their enrollment dependent on going through training. “I think what we see is a lack of education,� she said.

Teaching consent The training consists mostly of voiceovers and informational slides displaying facts, statistics and hypothetical scenarios. The slides cover a range of issues related to sexual assault and harassment: sexual violence, dating violence, stalking, consent, incapacity and prevention.

Among the topics is consent as it pertains to intoxication. The basic

In fact, Martin said, more and more have been setting up their own displays. The couple put up traffic cones as well as signs instructing drivers to turn off their headlights and not to park in front of driveways.

premise in the tutorial, that those incapacitated by alcohol cannot give consent, might seem like common sense. Yet alcohol plays a predominate role in rape and sexual assault. At least half of all sexual assaults by an acquaintance involve alcohol consumption by the victim, the perpetrator or both, according to the National Resource Center on Violence Against Women.

And alcohol is very much a part of the campus social life. Kathy Rose-Mockry, director of KU’s Emily Taylor Center for Women and Gender Equity, which also provides sexual assault education, said college students “are away from home for the first time ‌ they’re living in an organization away from their family, making different choices, and often times students meet in bars and places with alcohol.â€?

To help improve current training, Halling she would like to see a social component and “an element of peer accountability.�

That might include groups that reach out to campus to teach about sexual assault intervention and bystander training. Schulze said she thinks bringing in sexual assault survivors to talk with students about their experience could help spark deeper discussion. “It’s conversation and talking about it that’s going to get us somewhere,� she said.

But, as McQueeny points out, training itself has its limits. “Here’s kind of the dilemma in life: We can design great training and reach lots of students,� she said. “We can’t make them embrace it.�

Martin said he’s long been an avid Christmas decorator, since his days growing up in Atchison, where he said it seemed like everybody did it. He became interested in developing his own animated display after a video of an Ohio display synced with a Trans-Siberian Orchestra Christmas song went viral in 2005. He also had the technical expertise: By day, he’s a systems engineer with Lawrence Paper Co. The Martins are cordial with the other owners of animated displays in Lawrence. Gary even loaned one of them equipment the other day. After all, they aren’t really competing for much more than eyes. “I love seeing that kind of spirit and display of the celebration of holidays,� Gary said. “People are really getting back into decorating — it’s been steadily improving for the past few years.�

Volunteer one among thousands to view body of Mandela

By Nikki Wentling nwentling@ljworld.com

A Lawrence woman was one of 100,000 people who viewed the body of former South African President Nelson Mandela as it lay in state at the Union Buildings in Pretoria, South Africa this week.

D o n n a Reynolds, 61, of Lawrence, has been volunteering with Project Hope UK in Mandela a township outside Johannesburg since June. On Thursday, she and a fellow volunteer traveled the hour north to Pretoria, where people waited in mile-long lines to catch a glimpse of Mandela’s remains during the three-day viewing.

Mandela died Dec. 5 at the age of 95.

“Mostly, the feeling was one of celebration,” Reynolds said. “I can’t say enough about how peaceful everyone was and how friendly. There was a very warm, wonderful feeling that you got from everyone.”

Reynolds and a 17-yearold South Africa native who accompanied her named Teboho arrived in Pretoria on Thursday afternoon. Reynolds was soon approached by a police officer who directed her to a shorter line for senior citizens.

Christmas Bird Count offers surprises, even for experienced birdwatchers

By Stephen Montemayor smontemayor@ljworld.com

Two young bald eagles swooped near the face of the Clinton Lake dam, just within view of a large cluster of ducks taking refuge Saturday morning in a swath of open water.

David Seibel, a Johnson County Community College professor, trained a large scope on the ducks. He prepared to tally their numbers and species as part of

the annual Christmas Bird Count, a campaign organized by the National Audubon Society and Jayhawk Audubon Society to take stock of area bird populations.

Though huddled in large numbers, danger loomed.

“This time of year eagles eat about anything,” Seibel said.

They prefer fish, he added, but will switch to ducks when the fishing is no good. “To my mind that’s where the phrase ‘like sitting

ducks’ comes from.”

Just before 9 a.m., Seibel arrived at the dam with one of his JCCC students, Amelia Mallett-Kass, of Lawrence, and fellow birder Nick McHugh, of Kansas City, Kan. Each wore multiple layers to guard against the wicked gusts of cold air coming off the lake, their first stop of a campaign expected to span until dusk.

As the sun set, all counters planned to convene for a chili sup-

per, at which point final numbers would be tallied and observations would be shared. Counters planned to visit 12 locations within a 15-mile radius by day’s end, Seibel said.

Mallett-Kass joined her professor for a tradition he’s taken part in since 1969 — 33 of those years featuring stops in Lawrence before a Sunday count in Perry. She was a quick study, picking up on counting the Please see Birds, page 4A

Free State High School seniors Alex Houston and Hannah Moran looked dejected after their second, and final, loss at the nationalqualifier debate tournament this weekend.

But the disappointment soon gave way to satisfaction at the fact that they had gone six rounds in one of the toughest debate tournaments of the year.

“We kind of wanted to beat them,” Houston said about the loss to a team from Shawnee Mission East.

“To be honest, we’re a little surprised to get this far,” Moran said. “But when you get to a tournament of this caliber, a lot of it is just luck, like who you end up getting paired with.”

Houston and Moran made it further than any other Lawrence-area team in the East Kansas National Forensics League District tournament, one of the final debate tournaments of the season in Kansas, and the one that determines who will go to the NFL National tournament in the summer.

The event was a doubleelimination tournament, Please see deBAte, page 4A

After spending the night in a hotel near the Union Buildings, Reynolds and Teboho woke at 3:30 a.m. to get in line again.

They took their place in the queue at 4 a.m., and Reynolds stayed with her

Teboho viewed the body at 2 p.m.

Reynolds said groups of 20 to 50 people would spontaneously begin singing and dancing in line. And, during the hours spent waiting, she and Teboho were able to talk about the anti-apartheid leader with many others, including an elderly man who drove six hours from Durban to see the remains.

“He was in line behind me, and we reminisced about Mandela’s struggle,” Reynolds said.

“Many people in line were in their 20s and 30s, and

One other Free State team, senior Logan Brown and junior Solomon Cottrell, fell out after the fifth round, while sophomores Linda Liu and Genevieve Prescher were eliminated after four rounds.

All three teams from Lawrence High School were eliminated after three rounds.

We had a young squad here,” LHS coach Jeff Plinsky said. “We knew

birds in groups.

“That’s exactly right,” McHugh said. “You count certain areas and just go sideways.”

At least early on Saturday, Seibel expected the overall count to be on the low side because of recent cold temperatures in the area.

“It’s a tiny piece of a really big puzzle,” Seibel said of the count. “But all these pieces add up to a lot of information.”

Through their scopes and binoculars, the three counted up to 300 mallard ducks, 50 ring-billed gulls and about a dozen herring gulls at the lake.

They also settled on a total of six bald eagles. Mallett-Kass and McHugh eventually warmed up in the Jeep and waited to leave for their next viewing point.

But Seibel remained focused on the stilled group of ducks, among which were the rarer goldeneye duck and

what looked like a greenwinged teal, one of the smallest ducks.

“We need to boogie,” McHugh said out of the open passenger side door.

“We’ve got too much land to cover today.”

With that, the ducks dispersed. “Oh!” Seibel shouted as he discovered the source of the disturbance. One of the young bald eagles had taken hold of a mallard duck and plunged the duck underwater, drowning it.

“David,” McHugh said, “have you ever seen that before?”

“No,” Seibel said, “I haven’t.”

According to the Associated Press, Mandela’s body was flown via military plane from Pretoria to South Africa’s Eastern Cape province on Saturday. A private funeral will be held today in Mandela’s childhood village, Qunu.

Reynolds plans to return to Lawrence next week.

ROADWORK

35th St. closure planned Lawrence

The Kansas Department of Transportation will have a 24/7 full roadway closure on eastbound and westbound 35th Street from Iowa Street to the Baker Wetlands Visitor Center and 31st Street from E 1700 Road to E 1750 Road in Lawrence and Douglas County.

The project will run until mid-January. No marked detours will be provided.

Drivers should expect minor delays and must use alternate routes during the roadway closures.

On Nov. 19, a traffic signal installation began at the Kansas Highway 10 and U.S. 40/Sixth Street interchange in West Lawrence. Project work includes the installation of traffic signals at the interchange ramps and new permanent pavement markings. Crews will complete project work during daylight hours, Monday through Friday, with some occasional Saturday work.

Traffic impacts will include flagging operations through the interchange, both on U.S. 40/Sixth Street mainline lanes and the adjacent K-10 ramps, at varying intervals throughout the project. Drivers should expect delays of up to 15 minutes and are encouraged to use alternate routes if possible. The overall scheduled completion date for

BRIEFLY Secret Santa gives gold to 3 charities WICHITA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Secret Santa has given gold coins to three Wichita charities.

The Wichita Eagle reports that Shelly Prichard from the Wichita Community Foundation helped distribute the coins. They went to the Lordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Diner, the Center of Hope and the Guadalupe Clinic. The foundation says each coin is worth $1,400.

The Center of Hope works to prevent homelessness, the Lordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Diner feeds the poor, and the clinic gives health care to the poor.

The Secret Santa has made the anonymous donations of gold coins a Christmas tradition.

Man gets 62 years for shooting at trooper SALINA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Lyons man faces more than 60 years in prison for trying to kill a Kansas Highway Patrol trooper.

The Salina Journal reports Jason M. Gleason was sentenced Friday to about 62 years in prison. He COURTS was convicted in August of attempted first-degree murder and other charges.

Gleason was in an SUV in October 2012 when Trooper Ryan Wolting started pursuing him because the SUV matched one from a recent bank robbery. Witnesses said Gleason shot at Wolting and the trooper returned fire.

Gleasonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney, C. Richard Comfort, said Wolting wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hit by a bullet and asked the judge to depart from sentencing guidelines because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d result in an â&#x20AC;&#x153;absurd, irresponsible and unjust conclusion.â&#x20AC;?

Prosecutors said Gleason shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get special consideration just because he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t kill Wolting.

the project is mid-January 2014, weather permitting.

Utilities crews will continue a water-line project on Highland Drive, from Oxford Road to Harvard Road. There will be no parking and the road will be closed to through traffic from Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Because of the renovation and expansion of the Lawrence Public Library, there are intermittent closures of the street in the 700 block of Vermont or Kentucky streets when crews need to unload materials for construction.

The City of Lawrence Utilities Department is working on a water main on Ponderosa Drive from East 27th Street to East 28th Terrace. There will be no parking and road closed to thru traffic, Monday through Friday, from 7:00 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. This is a water main project.

South Lawrence Trafficway

Earlier this month, a three-year construction project began to complete the six-mile, four-lane Kansas Highway 10/South Lawrence Trafficway. The project will move existing K-10 onto a new alignment that will begin at the south junction of the U.S. 59 and K-10 interchange and reconnect with existing K-10 in East Lawrence.

Construction work on the project will be completed in phases. Each phase includes specific work and advance notification will be sent under separate cover for each phase of construction, including planned traffic impacts.

Emery Sapp & Sons Inc., of Columbia, Mo., is the primary contractor on this expansion project with a total contract cost of $129.8 million. The overall scheduled completion date for the project is fall 2016.

Lawhorn CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

would make a living. No worry. A few fellows took the young man by the arm and introduced him to an older fellow who owned Wardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Flowers in downtown. Within a week, Owens had $50,000 in debt â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in 1946 dollars â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and a flower shop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The man I bought it from belonged to a group that got together and drank coffee every morning,â&#x20AC;? Owens recalls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He told the boys that he had just sold his business to some dumb kid, and he would have it back in two months.â&#x20AC;?

Not quite. Owens went on to own the flower shop â&#x20AC;&#x201D; later renamed Owens Flower Shop, which is still in operation today under different ownership â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for 35 years.

Maybe the â&#x20AC;&#x153;dumb kidâ&#x20AC;? knew something after all.

More than three decades of success happens for a variety of reasons, but surely some of it has to with the one item that always was in bloom in his shop: Owensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; faith in the future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m an optimist,â&#x20AC;? Owens says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and that has served me pretty well in life.â&#x20AC;?

You could often find Owens on the phone at his shop, and many times the caller on the other end wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t such the optimist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Usually, the phone calls started with something like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You are a damn fool for doing this or that,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Owens recalls.

No, the flower business hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t turned ugly. But Owens found himself in another business where bouquets of roses are not often whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thrown at you. He was in the business of politics.

The common thinking among longtime Lawrence residents is that Jim Owens is the only man

-"83&/$& t 45"5&

.

during a course of a career who has served as the mayor of Lawrence, the president of the Lawrence Board of Education and the chairman of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody else has been too smart to do it,â&#x20AC;?

Owens says with a laugh.

Owens said his time in office certainly did offer an education. He was mayor of Lawrence in the mid-1950s, president of the school board in the 1960s, and chairman of the chamber of commerce a few years after that. His tenure in office, especially while on the school board, was marked by racial tensions in the city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a pretty hot place to live back then,â&#x20AC;?

Owens says.

He recalls having to call up burly friends and police officers to ask them to stand as security at a school board meeting.

The topic was whether black girls should be allowed to be part of the high schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cheerleading squad.

Owens says the decision was pretty easy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;what we were doing by excluding them wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fairâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but it was a decision that not everybody would want to hear. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It never boiled over that night,â&#x20AC;? Owens says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but it came pretty close.â&#x20AC;?

Owens remembers how the community was so divided over racial and social issues at the time that there were areas of town where men instructed their wives not to drive alone. He remembers how businessmen had to be worried about fires at their stores â&#x20AC;&#x201D; his awning was set ablaze one evening â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and how the newspaper would have more news of shootings than it does today.

These days, Owens is proud to say that he was there to see it all, and, more importantly, to eventually see it end. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Keeping the peace is probably what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m most proud of,â&#x20AC;? Owens says

of his time in the public arena. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our missteps were unfortunate, but we ended up on a good path. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m most proud of: Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a community thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still on a good path.â&#x20AC;?

If there are regrets, Owens the optimist doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take any time to mention them. Well, he does mention with some regret that he never tried to expand his public service trifecta.

At one time he considered running for the Douglas County Commission, but he never got around to it.

But as someone mentioned this week, there will be a County Commission election next year. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never too late. Owens gives the answer you would expect from an optimist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I suppose youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re right,â&#x20AC;? he says.

The odds of Owens throwing his hat back into the realm of public service probably arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t great. But Owens does wish more people would consider doing so themselves.

Owens said he thinks the quality of leadership in the community is just as good today as it was in past years, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long thought the quantity of it could stand to improve. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I suspect it is easier to watch sports and TV,â&#x20AC;?

Owens says of why more people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t become involved in community service. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It does take a lot of time.â&#x20AC;?

But Owens says it is time well spent. The quality of public servants in a community goes a long way in making a community â&#x20AC;&#x153;the type you want to live in.â&#x20AC;?

The payoff from community service, though, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just go to the community. Owens says he thinks people would be surprised at how much they would get out of the process too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You really get to know the place you are living in,â&#x20AC;? Owens says.

And indeed, there is a difference between living in a place and knowing a place.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

Owens â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who says he first came to Lawrence to study â&#x20AC;&#x153;good timesâ&#x20AC;? at KU â&#x20AC;&#x201D; has come to know this place. It is refreshing to hear what he has learned. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In general, this place is full of good people, and they want to do good things for their families and their city,â&#x20AC;? Owens says.

And thankfully, it is filled with a few people who still drink from the same bottle of optimism that Jim Owens did in one flower-filled week in 1946. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Optimism is very important,â&#x20AC;? Owens says â&#x20AC;&#x153;It makes you have a better life.â&#x20AC;?

So, as this holiday season progresses, Owens has some advice. Think about giving your community the gift of service.

Think about giving yourself the gift of optimism.

But buy yourself a flower shop at your own risk. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Each Sunday, Lawhornâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lawrence focuses on the people, places or past of Lawrence and the surrounding area. If you have a story idea, send it to Chad at clawhorn@ljworld.com.

BRIEFLY Panel reports on courts budget woes TOPEKA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A special panel appointed by Chief Justice Lawton Nuss has issued its report offering suggestions for solving budget shortfalls in the Kansas court system.

The 72-page report was released Friday. It recommends that the judicial branch consider delaying the filling of personnel vacancies, eliminating some court services employees and furloughing staff to save resources.

Nuss asked a 10-member panel led by Appeals Judge Karen Arnold-Burger to find ways to close a projected $8.25 million shortfall in the judicial budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1, 2014.

Legislators and Republican Gov. Sam Brownback have promised to find necessary revenues to prevent closing courthouses and

Man sentenced in soldierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death MANHATTAN â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Manhattan man was sentenced to life in prison for killing a Fort Riley soldier and injuring four others outside an apartment complex.

Matthew Wilson, 43, was sentenced Thursday to life plus a consecutive sentence of nearly 26 years in prison.

He pleaded no contest in October to first-degree murder and other charges in the April shooting that killed Michael Lowery, 23, and injured four others as they were leaving a party.

Prosecutors say Wilson lived in the apartment complex and told a witness he was tired of the partying at the complex.

Wichita bomb plot suspect goes to court WICHITA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A man arrested for an alleged plot to detonate a car bomb inside Wichitaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mid-Continent Regional Airport will remain jailed for at least another week as the government prepares its case.

Terry Lee Loewen was Loewen arrested early Friday as he tried to access the airport grounds with a vehicle full of inert explosives.

Loewen appeared before Magistrate Judge Karen Humphreys and answered â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;? in a strong voice to various procedural questions. His attorney and his wife also attended, but they both declined to comment to reporters.

A judge granted the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request to keep Loewen detained at least until a hearing next Friday. Loewen was characterized as a flight risk and a danger to the community.

Loewen has been suspended from his job with Hawker Beechcraft, where he is an avionics technician.

Beechcraft spokeswoman Nicole Alexander confirmed Friday that Loewen works at Hawker Beechcraftâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s facility at the airport. But Alexander says Loewen has

been suspended from his job while the investigation continues.

He tried to enter the tarmac at Mid-Continent Regional Airport on Friday in a vehicle he believed was loaded with explosives. Authorities say the materials in the car were inert, and no one at the airport was in danger.

Federal prosecutors say Loewen had been under investigation for months after making online statements to an undercover agent about wanting to commit â&#x20AC;&#x153;violent jihadâ&#x20AC;? against the United States.

Gov. Sam Brownback and Kansas political leaders are praising law enforcement for thwarting the bomb plot.

Brownback said at the news conference in Wichita that â&#x20AC;&#x153;In our ongoing war on terrorism, the good guys won one today.â&#x20AC;? He praised the collaboration between federal, state and local law enforcement agencies that worked on the case.

Republican Sen. Jerry Moran said in a statement that the case is a reminder that citizens must remain vigilant in protecting the country.

And Republican Rep. Mike Pompeo said the case was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;stark reminderâ&#x20AC;? that the United States continues to face threats from radical Islamic terrorism.

JEREMY FIES KEEPS HIS PET POT BELLY PIG Gatsby warm with a striped sweater for its daily walk on Thursday.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lifestyle and mindset for retirees, empty nesters and younger parents.

Since 2010, Amazon has recruited campers for its distribution centers in Campbellsville, Ky., Coffeyville, Kan., and Fernley, Nevada â&#x20AC;&#x201D; places with modest populations where the company has to cast a wider net to bring in enough temporary workers to fill its needs.

As an incentive, Amazon pays camping fees for the seasonal workers who start arriving in early fall.

Amazon-related business hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been as lucrative for Big Chief RV Park in Kansas, which hosts campers working for Amazon at Coffeyville.

The fee paid by Amazon doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cover all the utility bills, and the RV park ends up absorbing some of those costs, said park manager Debra Harris.

Campers help Amazon meet the holiday rush CAMPBELLSVILLE, KY. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Twinkling lights, ornament-strewn trees and bustling campgrounds. Those are signs of the Christmas season in this Kentucky town, where the Amazon.com distribution center recruits an armada of RV owners as seasonal workers to help fill holiday orders.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re dubbed the â&#x20AC;&#x153;CamperForceâ&#x20AC;? by the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest online retailer. Hundreds of campers are assigned packing, sorting and collection duties at Amazon warehouses in Kentucky, Kansas and Nevada â&#x20AC;&#x201D; roles meant to keep orders flowing during the yuletide rush.

Swarms of workers take up temporary residence in campgrounds. For many, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another short-term stint on a nonstop journey.

Remembering Sandy Hook

Colo. gunman had several weapons

By Dan Elliot and Soloman Banda Associated Press

A MAKESHIFT MEMORIAL WITH CROSSES FOR THE VICTIMS of the Sandy Hook massacre stands outside a home in Newtown, Conn., on Saturday, the one-year anniversary of the shootings.

CENTENNIAL, COLO. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A teenager who wounded a fellow student before killing himself at a suburban Denver high school entered the building with a shotgun, a machete, three Molotov cocktails and ammunition strapped to his body, likely intending to track down a librarian who had disciplined him, authorities said Saturday.

After firing a round down a hallway, Karl Pierson, 18, shot a fellow student who just happened to be sitting nearby with a friend as he headed toward the library. Claire Davis, 17, was shot in the head at point-blank range and remained hospitalized Saturday in critical condition.

Pierson set off one of the devices, but killed himself

just one minute and 20 seconds after entering the building because he knew a sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deputy assigned to the school was closing in, Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson said at a news conference.

Piersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original target was believed to be a librarian who coached the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s speech and debate team. The librarian, whose name was not released, had disciplined the teen in September for reasons that havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been disclosed. The librarian was able to escape the school unharmed, Robinson said.

The sheriff also said Davis appeared to be a random target. Based on Piersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arsenal, Robinson believes the teen intended to hurt many others at the school just 8 miles from Columbine High School. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His evil intent was to harm multiple individuals,â&#x20AC;? Robinson said.

BRIEFLY Vaccine possible in meningitis outbreak SANTA BARBARA, CALIF. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; State and federal officials are considering whether to provide students at the University of California, Santa Barbara, with an unlicensed vaccine to prevent further spread of a bacterial meningitis outbreak on campus, a newspaper reported Saturday.

Government health officials and the university are working together to determine whether the vaccine Bexsero would be effective HEALTH against the type of meningitis that sickened four students in November, The Los Angeles Times reported Saturday.

The move comes after Princeton University received permission from the Food and Drug Administration to give Bexsero to students and others deemed to be at risk on its campus.

Eight students at the New Jersey school fell ill after infection with a similar, but not identical, strain of the bacterium that sickened the California students.

In Santa Barbara, three of the afflicted students have recovered fully. The fourth had both feet amputated.

No new cases have been diagnosed since Nov. 21, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a statement.

Governors deciding Medicaid on politics WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Partisan politics are coloring governorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; decisions about

whether to expand Medicaid in their states, affecting billions of dollars and thousands of low-income people.

The question of whether they receive Medicaid coverage may have little to do with need, and much to do with the way their states vote in governorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; races, including primaries.

Every Democratic governor has called for accepting larger-than-usual federal subsidies to expand Medicaid, the government health insurance program for the poor. The only three who failed were blocked by Republican state legislators.

Most of the 30 Republican governors have turned down Medicaid expansion, and the federal dollars that would come with it. Some who face potential tea party challengers in next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s GOP primaries have rejected advice to broaden the program, which they call a costly federal overreach.

PSU ex-officials set for court hearing HARRISBURG, PA. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Three former Penn State officials accused of covering up child sex abuse allegations against Jerry Sandusky are expected to argue in court this week that their right to legal representation was violated when they appeared before an investigative grand jury more than two years ago.

The pretrial hearing, which starts Tuesday before Dauphin County Judge Todd Hoover in Harrisburg, will address claims by the three that their charges should be dismissed as a result.

Criminal charges were first filed two years ago against athletic direc-

tor Tim Curley and vice president for business and finance Gary Schultz.

That was followed by more charges last year, aided in part by email traffic uncovered by Penn State during its own review of the Sandusky matter, and for the first time prosecutors charged Graham Spanier.

The three are charged with perjury, obstruction, conspiracy, child endangerment and failure to properly report suspected child abuse. Their lawyers did not return messages seeking comment about the hearing from The Associated Press in the past week.

Winner yet declared for Mega Millions DES MOINES, IOWA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Superstition didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deter players hoping that Friday the 13th would bring them good luck in the recently revamped Mega Millions game, as heavy sales prompted lottery officials to boost the jackpot from $400 million to $425 million.

The estimated $425 million jackpot is the second-largest Mega Millions jackpot ever, trailing a $656 million jackpot in March 2012, and it is the fifth-largest lottery jackpot in U.S. history. The current jackpot has rolled over 20 times, and a winner from Friday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drawing could have a cash option of $228 million before taxes. The winning numbers were: 1924-26-27-70, Mega Ball: 12.

In New York state, tickets were selling at a pace of $500,000 an hour Friday morning. The stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lottery spokeswoman, Christy Calicchia, said sales are normally between $60,000 and $70,000 an hour.

PRO-EUROPEAN UNION ACTIVISTS GATHER DURING A RALLY in Independence Square in Kiev, Ukraine, on Saturday. The opposition has called for a vast turnout today. Rallies on the previous two Sundays drew hundreds of thousands of protesters. That same day, Yanukovychâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Party of Regions has called for a pro-government demonstration that it claims will bring 200,000 people to Kiev.

E-waste â&#x20AC;&#x201D; defined as anything with a battery or a cord â&#x20AC;&#x201D; can pose a big problem because it often contains substances that are harmful to humans and the environment if not properly treated. On the other hand, some of it can be profitably recycled.

A U.N. think tank dedicated to the issue estimates that the amount of e-waste will rise from almost 53.9 million tons in 2012 to 72.09 million tons in 2017.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nearly 200 times the weight of the Empire State Building.

The U.S. dumped the most last year, generating 9.4 million metric tons of e-waste, followed by China with 7.3 million metric tons.

Per capita the U.S. was even further ahead, with almost 66 pounds of hightech trash for Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 12 pounds. The global average is 15 pounds per person.

BEIJING moon rover has touched the lunar surface and left deep traces on its loose soil, state media reported Sunday, several hours after the country successfully carried out the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first soft landing of a space probe on the moon in nearly four decades.

The 300-pound â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jade Rabbitâ&#x20AC;? rover separated from the much larger landing vehicle early Sunday, around seven hours after the unmanned Changâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;e 3 space probe touched down on a fairly flat, Earth-facing part of the moon.

State broadcaster China Central Television showed

images taken from the landerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s camera of the rover and its shadow moving down a sloping ladder and touching the surface, setting off applause in the Beijing control center. It said the lander and rover, both bearing Chinese flags, will take photos of each other Sunday evening.

Later, the six-wheeled rover will survey the moonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s geological structure and surface and look for natural resources for three months, while the lander will carry out sci-

Park process Public confidence in the handling of a major recreation project in west Lawrence continues to erode.

W

hen it comes to frustration, Rock Chalk Park is the project that just keeps on giving.

Once again, developer Thomas Fritzel has gotten ahead of the city’s planning process and moved forward on a project before gaining proper approval. In this case, the developer installed 100-foot tall light poles at Rock Chalk Park before gaining approval for a lighting plan for the project.

Even worse, when commissioners approved the project earlier this year, they specifically said that a lighting plan would have to be approved before any building permits were issued for the project. Obviously that didn’t happen.

So when a nearby resident came to last Tuesday’s commission meeting to raise concerns about the lighting, city officials had to admit they hadn’t followed their own procedure. The planning director confirmed that building permits had been issued before a lighting plan was approved.

In what could be viewed as typical for this developer, the planning director said a lighting plan was submitted to the city shortly AFTER the lights were installed.

Planners say the lighting plan appears to fall within the city’s code for protecting adjacent property owners, and, in some situations, there might be a tendency for observers to simply view the situation as water under the bridge, no harm done. However, given the history of this project, the city’s failure to enforce its own mandate raises troubling questions about what other oversights will come to light before and after this project is completed — and how much it will cost city taxpayers to remedy those situations. The city already is considering hiring an independent lighting consultant to review the current situation and provide an assessment.

At Tuesday’s meeting, attorney Rick Hird, who represents the park’s neighbor made what many local residents may consider a painfully accurate observation: “Given the history, I hope you can understand why there is an absolute mistrust in the developer and, really, at this point, the city’s desire to do this project right.”

City commissioners made the lighting plan a condition for receiving a building permit. Fritzel certainly was aware of that condition and, as an act of good faith, could have made sure that condition was met. However, it was the responsibility of the city planners to make sure that order was carried out. They had been instructed not to issue a building permit until the lighting plan was approved, but they failed to use that leverage to make sure the condition was met.

Now the city is looking at hiring an independent consultant to restore the faith of neighboring residents — and perhaps the public at large — that this project is being properly handled.

It is everyone’s hope that, when it is finished, Rock Chalk Park will be a wonderful addition to the city and will benefit the local economy in many ways.

Even if that’s the case, however, sour memories of how this project has been mishandled will be hard to erase.

Higher minimum wage has flaws “It’s not true that life is one damn thing after another — it’s one damn thing over and over.”

— Edna St. Vincent Millay WASHINGTON — Liberals’ love of recycling extends to their ideas, one of which illustrates the miniaturization of Barack Obama’s presidency. He fervently favors a minor measure that would have mostly small, mostly injurious effects on a small number of people. Nevertheless, raising the minimum hourly wage for the 23rd time since 1938, from today’s $7.25 to $10.10, is a nifty idea, if: If government is good at setting prices. Government — subsidizer of Solyndra, operator of the ethanol program, creator of HealthCare.gov — uses minimum wage laws to set the price for the labor of workers who are apt to add only small value to the economy.

If you think government should prevent two consenting parties — an employer and a worker — from agreeing to an hourly wage that government disapproves.

If you think today’s 7 percent unemployment rate is too low. (It would be 10.9 percent if the workforce participation rate were as high as it was when Obama was first inaugurated; since then, millions of discouraged workers have stopped searching for jobs.) Because less than 3 percent of the workforce earns the minimum wage, increasing it will not greatly increase unemployment. Still, raising

“

Because less than 3 percent of the workforce earns the minimum wage, increasing it will not greatly increase unemployment. Still, raising the price of lowproductivity workers will somewhat reduce demand for them.” the price of low-productivity workers will somewhat reduce demand for them.

If you reject that last sentence. If you do, name other goods or services for which you think demand is inelastic when their prices increase.

If you think teenage (1619) unemployment (20.8 percent), and especially African-American teenage unemployment (35.8 percent), is too low. Approximately 24 percent of minimum wage workers are teenagers.

If you think government policy should encourage automation of the ordering and preparation of food to replace workers in the restaurant indus-

try, which employs 43.8 percent of minimum wage workers.

If you think it is irrelevant that most minimum wage earners are not poor. Most minimum wage workers are not heads of households.

More than half are students or other young, usually part-time workers in families whose average income is $53,000 a year, which is $2,000 more than the average household income.

If you do not care that there are more poor people whose poverty derives from being unemployed than from poor wages. True, some of the working poor earn so little they are eligible for welfare. But an increase in the minimum wage will cause some of these to become unemployed and on welfare.

If you do not mind a minimum wage increase having a regressive cost-benefit distribution. It would jeopardize marginal workers to benefit organized labor, which supports a higher minimum in the hope that this will raise the general wage floor, thereby strengthening unions’ negotiating positions.

If you think it is irrelevant that nearly two-thirds of minimum wage workers get a raise in their first year.

If you think a higher minimum wage, rather than a strengthened Earned Income Tax Credit, is the most efficient way to give money to the working poor.

If you think tweaking the minimum wage is a serious

promotion of equality by an administration during which 95 percent of real income growth has accrued to the top 1 percent.

If you think forcing employers to spend X dollars more than necessary to employ labor for entry-level jobs will stimulate the economy. If you believe this, you must think the workers receiving the extra dollars will put the money to more stimulative uses than their employers would have. If so, why not a minimum wage of $50.50 rather than the $10.10?

Because this might discourage hiring? What makes you sure you know the threshold where job destruction begins?

If you think the high school dropout rate is too low. In 1994, Congress decreed that by 2000 the graduation rate would be “at least” 90 percent. In 2010 it was 78.2 percent. Increasing the minimum wage would increase the incentive to leave school early. One scholarly study concluded that in states where students may leave school before 18, increases in the minimum wage caused teenage school enrollment to decline.

If the milk of human kindness flows by the quart in your veins, so you should also want to raise the minimum street charity: Take moral grandstanding oblivious of consequences to a new level by requiring anyone who gives money to panhandlers to give a minimum of $10. Beggars may not benefit, but you will admire yourself.

OLD HOME TOWN From the Lawrence Daily JournalWorld for Dec. 15, 1913: “Charges of speeding with YEARS his auto have been preAGO ferred against Fred LindIN 1913 ley, a speed merchant of some renown in Lawrence.

The charges against Lindley follow a spill which the driver and his machine took early Sunday morning. Lindley ran his car into a ditch on the Eudora road just at the east limits of the city. It is said that a midnight joy ride was underway when the accident occurred.”

“N. H. Gibbons, owner of the Aurora and Grand Theaters this morning pleaded guilty to a charge of permitting persons to stand in the aisles and lobbies. He pleaded guilty on four counts, the total fine amounting to $25.50.”

Egypt’s faith shifts back to military CAIRO — Nearly three years ago, in the heyday of the Arab Spring, Tahrir Square was adorned with banners of youths killed by security forces. Hawkers sold T-shirts imprinted with their faces.

Those banners are long gone, and this year vendors are selling T-shirts emblazoned with the face of Gen. Abdel Fattah el-Sissi, the army leader who oversaw the July ouster of Egypt’s first elected president, the Muslim Brotherhood’s Mohammed Morsi. El-Sissi’s mien is on posters and fancy chocolates, and — in a Photoshopped pic on the Internet — has even been strategically imprinted on a pair of men’s briefs.

Strangest of all is seeing the el-Sissi T’s hanging alongside a few leftovers bearing the faces of Tahrir Square martyrs. Those youths died in an effort to oust the previous military-backed regime of Hosni Mubarak, and to bring in democratic elections. Now many of their revolutionary colleagues have become elSissi fans and call for him to run for president.

The reasons many liberals — and a huge number of ordinary Egyptians — came to love a general reflect the huge obstacles to building a democracy in Egypt. But the el-Sissi story isn’t over yet.

Sitting in the historic Cafe Riche, 25-year-old Mohebi Doss told me why he and his friends founded the group known as Tamarod (rebellion), which helped topple

Trudy Rubin trubin@phillynews.com

“

The reasons many liberals — and a huge number of ordinary Egyptians — came to love a general reflect the huge obstacles to building a democracy in Egypt. But the el-Sissi story isn’t over yet.”

Morsi. Tamarod’s multimillion-signature campaign (with help from the military and state security agencies) led to massive public marches calling for Morsi’s downfall.

The military then used the marches, and counterprotests, as justification to dump Morsi, claiming that the turmoil could lead to civil war.

Since Morsi was so unpopular, why didn’t liberals try to unseat him at the next elections? Doss was blunt: “We had to do it this way because of the weakness of liberal parties.

They couldn’t defeat the Muslim Brotherhood at elections.”

He’s correct. Egyptians are new to party politics, and with a couple of exceptions, small liberal parties have no orga-

nization outside of cities. Unlike the mosque-based Muslim Brotherhood, they had minimal capacity to get out votes.

So the liberals learned to love the general because it was the only route to removing Morsi, whom they feared would Islamicize their government.

But the anti-Morsi marchers also included rural and working-class Egyptians — even though many of them had voted for Morsi. In the Ramy café in the workingclass district of Imbaba, sheesha smokers said they were sick of three years of gas and electricity shortages and instability. Had the Morsi government been competent and created jobs, it would probably still be in power.

Others told me the Tahrir Square revolt had given Egyptians hope for a better life, and Morsi’s hunger for power, and loyalty to the secretive Brotherhood, made them feel cheated.

Thus popular anger and liberal fears (plus a massive state media campaign demonizing the Brotherhood as terrorists) have fed el-Sissi’s heroic image. They also seem to have anesthetized most Egyptians to the killing by security forces of hundreds of Brotherhood protesters, and the arrest of thousands of its members — as well as the recent arrest of liberal protesters and bloggers who were key figures in the Tahrir revolt.

El-Sissi currently holds Egypt’s most powerful post, minister of defense, and the country’s newly drafted constitution exempts that job from political control for the next eight years. But the country is waiting to see if the general will run for president in elections next spring. No one doubts that he would win.

El-Sissi is said to prefer wielding power from the background, since any president will be blamed for the country’s continuing economic troubles. He knows that public opinion is volatile. Yet analysts here say the lack of other strong candidates may convince the general to run.

Even if he does, Egypt won’t become a conventional dictatorship; there will be some space for political parties and movements to grow.

Despite the current crackdown, el-Sissi is not cut in the mold of a Putin or Pinochet. And after Tahrir Square and Tamarod, even a general cannot ignore public opinion.

If el-Sissi becomes president, says Egyptian human rights activist Hossam Bahgat, “Our only hope is for people to grow out of the myth that the military is the only institution able to work miracles in Egypt.” A President El-Sissi would expedite this process, he adds, because the problems of political leadership would bring the general’s star image back to Earth.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY CENTER JOEL EMBIID DELIVERS A DUNK over New Mexico’s Arthur Edwards (5) during the second half of Kansas’ 80-63 victory on Saturday in Kansas City, Mo.

Embiid powers KU past Lobos

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

KANSAS CITY, MO. — Joel Embiid, who averaged 20.2 minutes in Kansas University’s first nine games of the 2013-14 season, figures to see a dramatic increase the rest of the way.

“We need to play him all the time,” KU coach Bill Self said after the 7-foot freshman from Cameroon exploded for a career-high 18 points with six rebounds, four blocks and three steals while working 25 minutes in the Jayhawks’ 80-63 victory over New Mexico on Saturday night in Sprint Center.

“But the more he plays, the less time he’s going to spend in Lawrence. I’m not sure it’s a real wise decision for me to do this, but he’s got to play because he’s got so much talent he’s going to continue to get better and better. He just

Self, who has started Embiid the past two games, figures to have the big man just one year in Lawrence, with NBA scouts already salivating over the skills he displayed in the second half Saturday.

Embiid, who picked up his second foul with 10:50 left in the first half, had just two points, three rebounds and one block in seven minutes the initial half as KU led, 3938, at the break.

seeing Embiid coming at them, arms reaching for the ceiling, it was the equivalent of a hitter crowding the plate and seeing a 95 mph pitch heading for his jaw. Instinct kicks in, and the goal becomes getting out of the situation without harm as quickly as possible. Hurried, even panicked, the guy with the ball changes his goal to not turning it over. Scoring no longer enters the equation. It becomes all about surviving the possession.

Late drought dooms LHS, 60-56

FREE STATE SOPHOMORE LAUREN JOHNSON (10) BATTLES FOR A REBOUND against Lansing’s Madison Bosworth. The Firebirds fell, 49-44, as the first part of a doubleheader sweep by the Lions on Saturday at FSHS. Story on page 3B.

KANSAS CITY, MO. — Freshman center Joel Embiid makes this young Kansas University basketball team so much better when he plays as opposed to when he nurses foul trouble.

His extraordinary numbers — 18 points, six rebounds, four blocked shots, three steals and no turnovers — compiled Saturday night in 25 minutes against New Mexico in the Sprint Center tell only a portion of the story.

How much better teammates played with him on the floor showed even more about his value in an 80-63 victory against the talented, experienced Lobos.

With the long-striding, quick-afoot, long-armed 7-footer trapping the post in support of Perry Ellis, Embiid masked his teammates’ deficiencies as a post defender. For the Lobos,

STILWELL — For all the highlight plays Lawrence High’s boys basketball players created Saturday night against Topeka Highland Park, as two of the top teams in the state traded shots and streaks in the Blue Valley Shootout championship game, the Lions would’ve traded them all in for a boring old bucket or two in the final minutes.

LHS only converted three of its 14 field-goal attempts and didn’t get one to fall in the final three-plus minutes in a 60-56 loss to the Runnin’ Scots at Blue Valley High.

Highland Park junior Daniel Kingcannon delivered on both ends of his one-andone free throws with eight seconds left to seal the victory after senior Kameron Clark missed a front-end try with 12 seconds to go and Shaffee Carr grabbed the offensive rebound before Lawrence (3-1, ranked No. 6 in Class 6A) could snag the ball and keep it a one-possession game.

Junior Lions guard Anthony Bonner said those types of plays happened too often in the fourth quarter, a stretch in which LHS shot 21 percent from the field.

“There were a few loose balls we didn’t get to,” Bon-

ner said, “a few rebounds we missed and maybe a few dumb shots.”

When Bonner, sophomore point guard Justin Roberts and junior guard John Barbee drove late in the game, Highland Park’s 6-foot-7 Eddie Hunt and 6-foot-5 Shaffee Carr made sure to meet them before they could get all the way to the rim. Lawrence coach Mike Lewis said those plays hurt, too, as his team tried to find high-percentage chances that would extend its lead.

“We didn’t finish a few of those,” Lewis said. “AB (Bonner) had one that could’ve been a three-point play, and Justin had three or four that

we would’ve just taken the layup, much less the threepoint play.”

Roberts found Barbee for a three-pointer that put Highland Park (3-0, No. 1 in 5A) in a 54-49 hole with less than four minutes left, but before long the Lions went from trying to run some time off the clock to not being able to score.

“We were trying to hold the ball, move it around and maybe get to the free-throw line. We attacked, and we just couldn’t get our calls,” Roberts said. “If we get at least half of those fouls, we win that game with our free Please see LIONS, page 3B

Now, after four seasons with at least four losses, Brown is stepping down to make way for the next coach to try to push the Longhorns back into the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elite.

Texas announced Saturday night that Brown, who won the 2005 national championship, is retiring after 16 seasons, with his final game to be the Dec.

In a statement released by the school Saturday night, Brown acknowledged it was time for a change after Brown a 30-20 record and 18-17 mark in the Big 12 over the last four seasons. Texas is 8-4 this season and lost the Big 12 title to Baylor in the final game of the regular season.

Navy rolls past Army PHILADELPHIA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Keenan Reynolds ran through steady snow and swirling wind into the NCAA record book, helping Navy beat Army, 34-7, on Saturday for its 12th consecutive victory in the series.

Reynolds scored on touchdown runs of 47 yards, 11 yards and 1 yard. The sophomore has 29 rushing touchdowns, breaking the single-season mark for a quarterback previously held

by Ricky Dobbs (Navy, 2009) and Collin Klein (Kansas State, 2011), both of whom had 27.

Reynolds ran 30 times for 136 yards on a frozen, snowcovered field. He also caught a two-point conversion pass on a trick play following his second touchdown.

Navy (8-4) won the Commander-In-Chiefâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Trophy for the second consecutive season and ninth time in 11 years. The trophy is awarded to the service academy with the most victories in games between Navy, Army and Air Force.

The Midshipmen havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lost to Army since 2001 and lead the series 58-49-7. Navyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 12-game run is the longest in the history of the rivalry that began in 1890.

Army (3-9) fumbled five times and was intercepted once in its fifth straight defeat. Embattled coach Rich Ellerson fell to 0-5 against the Midshipmen and 2041 overall since taking the job in December 2008.

On the other sideline, Ken Niumatalolo became the second coach in Navy history to start his coaching career 6-0 against Army, matching Paul Johnson (2002-07).

The Midshipmen will conclude their season in the Armed Forces Bowl against Middle Tennessee State on Dec. 30.

FLORIDA STATE QUARTERBACK JAMEIS WINSTON, RIGHT, stands with FSU coach Jimbo Fisher while holding the Heisman Trophy after winning the award Saturday night in New York.

Winston wins Heisman in landslide vote NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jameis Winston left voters no choice but to give him the Heisman Trophy.

The Florida State quarterback became the second straight freshman to win the Heisman on Saturday night, earning college footballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most prestigious individual award with a performance so spectacular and dominant that even a criminal investigation couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t derail his candidacy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I cannot explain the feeling that I have inside right now,â&#x20AC;? Winston said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so overwhelmed.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awesome.â&#x20AC;?

When his name was announced, he popped from his seat and quickly made his way to his mom and dad for hugs and kisses. He smiled and laughed through most of his acceptance speech, but got a little choked up when he talked about his parents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you see your mom and your dad and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been struggling through this whole process, it was nice to see a smile on their faces,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Winston received 668 first-place votes and 2,205 points. He finished 1,501 points ahead of Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron for the seventh-largest margin of victory in Heisman history, despite being left off 115 of the 900 ballots that were returned.

Northern Illinois quarterback Jordan Lynch was third, followed by Boston Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Andre Williams, Texas A&Mâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Johnny Manziel and Auburnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tre Mason.

Manziel was the first freshman to win the Heisman and was trying to join Ohio Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Archie Griffin as a two-time winner. Instead, Winston made it two freshman winners in the 79-year history of the Heisman. He also became the youngest winner at 23 days short of 20.

The 19-year-old also was investigated last month for a year-old sexual assault complaint, but no charges were filed, and the case was closed four days before Heisman votes were due. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People trusted me and saw us play,â&#x20AC;? Winston said.

Winston is the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top-rated passer and has led the top-ranked Seminoles to a spot in the BCS championship game against No. 2 Auburn on Jan. 6, his birthday. The former five-star recruit from Bessemer, Ala., made college football look easy from his very first game. On Labor Day night, on national television, Winston went 25-for-27 for 356 yards and four touchdowns in a victory at Pittsburgh.

It was a brilliant debut that lived up to the offseason hype, when Winston wowed Florida State fans in the Seminolesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; spring football game and on the baseball diamond as a hard-throwing reliever and clutch-hitting outfielder. He had already earned the nickname Famous Jameis before he ever played a college football game.

And he quickly became one of the most beloved Seminoles since Charlie Ward, the 1993 Heisman winner.

Lansing 71, Free State boys 64, OT Trailing Lansing by three with 9.3 seconds left in regulation Saturday, Free State Highâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boys basketball team needed something big to overcome the secondranked team in class 5A. Coach Chuck Law and the Firebirds figured Lansing would be expecting the ball in the hands of senior Cole Moreano, who had 14 points on the night, including a key threepointer to tie the game at 53. After a timeout, Keith Loneker took the inbounds pass, dribbled to the right side of the floor and kicked it back to junior Weston Hack, who pump-faked a defender and drilled an overtime-forcing threepointer as time ran out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have hit that shot hundreds of time, and I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss that time, and I knocked it down,â&#x20AC;? said Hack, who finished with 13 points.

Free State could not carry the momentum of the play into overtime, however, and lost for the first time this season, 71-64.

Free State stopped Lansing on its first possession of the extra period, but the Firebirds committed back-to-back turnovers followed by two straight missed shots, and the visitors pulled away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They just took the momentum away,â&#x20AC;? Hack said of the turnovers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Careless mistakes. We have to be better than that. We had all the momentum going our way but just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pull it out.â&#x20AC;?

Law lamented the lost opportunities in overtime. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We get the stop the first possession of overtime,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we (score on our

A Tristan Garber threepointer capped a 9-0 run for Free State early in the fourth quarter, which gave the Firebirds a 50-49 lead, its first since the first possession of the second half.

It was the theme of the night for Free State. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Great determination by our guys,â&#x20AC;? Law said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start well and dug ourselves a hole. We got it to one at halftime. They got a run out to get it to seven in the third quarter, but we dug our heels in again and got it back to 57-all, and it looked like we were dead to rights at the end.â&#x20AC;?

Free State was without its top player, Khadre Lane, who did not suit up after suffering a deep thigh bruise Friday night. Blake Winslow scored 14, and Reshawn Caro added 10, including six straight in the late third-quarter run for Free State. Lansing also had four players in doublefigure scoring paced by Khalil Bailey, who had 19.

Wycoff lifts Seabury boys in debut J-W Staff Reports

Seabury boys 62, Axtell 58 AXTELL â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Freshman Mikey Wycoff scored 29 points in his debut, and the Bishop Seabury Academy boys basketball team opened its season Saturday with a victory over Axtell.

Seabury coach Ashley Battles called Wycoff â&#x20AC;&#x153;incredibleâ&#x20AC;? and praised his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effort against the defending 1A-Div. II state champions.

The Seahawks (1-0) will not play again until January.

throws. But it was a lot of things that kind of led up to that. We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just blame it on the refs and free throws.â&#x20AC;?

The Lions only scored two more points the rest of the night. With 1:20 left, Roberts made two free throws to end a 9-0 run for the Scots.

After scoring 74 and 69 the previous two nights, Lewis said Lawrence is bound to have some games when it goes cold for stretches. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just wish toward the end we wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve held on to it a little bit better,â&#x20AC;? the coach said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and not taken some of the shots that we took and have that possession.â&#x20AC;?

Shot-making never seemed in the realm of possible issues for Lawrence early on. Roberts simply couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss in the first quarter from beyond the three-point arc. After Barbee drove the lane for the Lionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first basket of the night, Roberts drilled back-to-back threes and fed Bonner for a layup, foul and three-point play that put LHS ahead, 11-0.

LAWRENCE HIGHâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S JUSTIN ROBERTS SIGNALS a play against Highland Park on Saturday in Stilwell.

By the time Roberts buried two more from deep, the Lions led 17-3, and they finished the quarter with 8-for-11 shooting.

Roberts made his fifth three-pointer in a row on the first possession of the second quarter, building a 25-10 advantage, and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss a shot until the 1:48 mark of the first half. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to keep it through the whole game,â&#x20AC;?

Roberts said of his touch, after putting up 22 points on 6-for-9 three-point shooting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just kind of lost it a little bit. I blame myself for that, but as a team I think we played well.â&#x20AC;?

All parties involved appreciated the way the two

teams went after each other, with Lawrence controlling stretches and Highland Park doing the same with spurts of its own. Bonner, who scored seven of his 16 points in the third, when teammate Price Morgan added six of his nine points, said he loved playing versus the Scots. He just wished LHS didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have so many empty possessions down the stretch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it came down to just physical toughness,â&#x20AC;?

Bonner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were more physical than us down the stretch and getting to that 50-50 ball.â&#x20AC;?

The Lions will play host to rival Free State on Friday.

KANSAS 80, NEW MEXICO 63

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

KANSAS GUARD WAYNE SELDEN (1) SCOOPS IN A BUCKET past New Mexico center Obij Aget.

Lobos: ‘Age overrated’

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

KANSAS CITY, MO. — All week, as the New Mexico men’s basketball team prepared for its showdown with No. 13 Kansas University at Sprint Center, the Lobos hoped the experience of starting three four-year veterans would make a difference against the young Jayhawks.

Minutes after KU’s 8063 victory, which came in large part thanks to a 4125 second-half surge, that hope proved more optimistic than realistic.

“I think the age thing is overrated,” New Mexico guard Kendall Williams, who tied teammate Cameron Bairstow with a game-high 24 points.

“They have a lot of skilled players that didn’t really get flustered.”

The funny thing about New Mexico’s second loss of the season was that the Lobos (6-2) did not really get flustered either. In the opening frame, behind a monster half of 16 points and four rebounds from Bairstow, UNM played KU within a point (39-38), using all-out effort, physicality at all five positions and 13-of-15 shooting from the free-throw line.

Energized by a put-back at the halftime buzzer from sophomore Arthur Edwards, the Lobos raced off the Sprint Center floor and appeared to be the team with more momentum. But the next time they stepped onto the floor, the Jayhawks raced up and down past them, en route to a 10-2 run to

open the second half that put the Jayhawks (7-3) firmly in control.

“They came out to play in the second half, and I don’t think we did,” New Mexico coach Craig Neal said. “I kept telling them at halftime that we need to stop, score, stop and score to get where we want to be. But Kansas did that to us.”

And it really did not stop.

The Lobos did pull within five (63-58) on a four-point play from Williams with 8:01 to play.

But KU responded with five quick points and outscored UNM 17-5 to close the game.

“I think their little run, where I had to take a timeout, was the difference,” Neal said.

Asked about the environment and playing in KU’s home away from home, both Neal and Bairstow said they loved it.

“We played with great effort, and it was a great atmosphere for college basketball,” Neal said.

Added Bairstow: “It was a great environment, and you could tell KU fed a lot of the crowd’s energy.”

As for the whole ageversus-youth thing the Lobos hoped would tip things in their favor, Neal agreed with his leading scorer about the Jayhawks’ lack of experience being a non-factor.

“Guys, they’ve got a good team,” he said.

“They’ve got a bunch of young guys, but I think they are going to be really Nick Krug/Journal-World Photos good late in the year, and I PLAYERS ON THE KANSAS UNIVERSITY BENCH GO WILD after a three-pointer by Perry Ellis against New Mexico. KU like their team.” won, 80-63, Saturday at Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo.

How often does Embiid resemble Olajuwon in practice?

“All the time,” Self said.

“People haven’t seen in a game what he can do.

We’ve seen glimpses, but we haven’t seen an offensive repertoire where he can score over both shoulders, (with) both hands or step out and shoot it. That was nice to see.

“He’s becoming a better rim protector too,” Self added. “He gets three steals and four blocks and no turnovers.

That’s pretty good for a big. He and Perry (Ellis, 21 points, nine rebounds in 31 minutes) both were great.”

Embiid scored nine points and Ellis seven in a 16-4 run that increased KU’s one-point halftime lead to 55-42 at 13:21.

Embiid scored seven, Ellis three and Wayne

Selden two off a nice pass from Naadir Tharpe (nine assists, four turnovers, 37 minutes) and KU led, 7559, after a 12-1 run.

“I was frustrated,” Embiid said of his feelings after playing sparingly the first half because of foul woes. “I wanted it bad.

I wanted to play. They (teammates) threw me the ball.

“We knew we had to get ready in the second half and play better. We had a little run and blew the game away.”

Of Embiid, Ellis, who hit nine of 14 shots, said: “Joel

has great moves. The key is to get the ball into him.

It opens everything up.

We have to continue getting him the ball.”

KU, which improved to 7-3, compared to New Mexico’s 7-2 mark, played awfully hard in an attempt to shake a slump that included three losses in four games.

“I felt like I knew we had to hit them first and had to go at them first and defend and be first on the floor,” freshman guard Wayne Selden said after scoring 10 points with four rebounds, three assists and two steals in 34 minutes. “That was our main goal, to try to be the first one on the floor and be aggressive.”

The Jayhawks prevailed before 18,493 fans in their home away from home.

“It definitely felt like a home court, and we were saying it looked and felt a lot like the United Center,” Selden said. “The home support was great.”

KU will play Georgetown at 11 a.m. Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY GUARD NAADIR THARPE CELEBRATES AFTER HITTING A THREE-POINTER against New Mexico. Tharpe had nine assists in the Jayhawks’ 80-63 victory over New Mexico on Saturday in Kansas City, Mo.

NOTEBOOK

Tharpe sharp in start; Black scoreless

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

KANSAS CITY, MO. — Naadir Tharpe’s return to the starting lineup after a twogame absence proved to be a resounding success Saturday night in Sprint Center.

Tharpe, KU’s junior point guard from Worcester, Mass., dished nine assists against four turnovers and scored eight points while playing 37 minutes in the Jayhawks’ 80-63 victory over New Mexico. Freshman Frank Mason, who returned to a reserve role, had one assist and no points in six minutes.

“Naadir and I had a nice talk this week,” KU coach Bill Self said. “He knows beyond a shadow of a doubt I’m disappointed in him, not in his play as much (but) his ownership

and how he’s helping the other guys. That was the thing I’ve been trying to beat into him. I think he responded really well.

“He has to take ownership for everything,” Self added. “There’s nobody else that can do it yet. He has to buy time for these guys to give them a chance to grow up, and he hasn’t done that as well as he can do. Today I thought he did a good job with that.”

Self said Mason’s minutes were cut because, “they played zone. Frank hasn’t shot it well yet. I thought we’d be better off playing Brannen (Greene, five points, 16 minutes) or Wigs (Andrew Wiggins, 11 points, 28 minutes) or Wayne (Selden, 10 points, 34 minutes) on the wings and give the ball to Naadir and let him run the point the majority of the time.”

Black blanked: Senior forward Tarik Black, who has come off the bench the last two games in favor of freshman Joel Embiid, did not score with two turnovers and a quick foul in two minutes. Red-shirt freshman Landen Lucas had two points and five boards in 10 minutes.

“This is not a knock to Tarik ... Landen gets in there and gets five rebounds in nine minutes and is obviously a factor,” Self said. “I think that will be good for our team moving forward. He understands what we are doing about as well as anybody on our team. When you play heavy bodies like that (on UNM team), he’s about as good as we have guarding those heavy bodies. I thought everybody who got in the game con-

Tharpe hit a three-pointer at 11:39 in the first half to start a 14-4 run that lasted 4:02. Within the run, KU regained the lead when Brannen Greene cashed a threepoint basket for an 18-16 advantage. ... New Mexico senior forward Cameron Bairstow scored 16 points in the first half, the most scored by an opponent since Duke’s Jabari Parker hit for 19, also in the first half. ... KU’s 17-point lead (78-68) was the biggest since last month, when the Jayhawks built a 17-point advantage over Towson. ... Justin Wesley scored his first point of the season with a free throw in the first half.

“He’s better at it than anyone else at that because you’re throwing over 9-5 (9 feet, 5 inches from tip of the fingers to the floor) when he runs at you,” Kansas coach Bill Self said. “Other guys are a little softer in their approach and how they do it and their height and things doesn’t bother (the offensive players) as much.”

Ellis, as teammates and coaches of Embiid so often do, referenced more than the physical gifts of the center from Cameroon.

“He’s smart,” Ellis said.

“Whatever coach tells him to do, he’s doing it.

It’s a big help having him right there blocking shots and everything.”

When Embiid went to the bench with 10:50 remaining in the first half, New Mexico found it easier getting to the basket and attacked with a confidence that withered once Embiid returned.

Embiid’s presence had the opposite effect on Ellis’ confidence and scoring opportunities. The Lobos no longer could pay extra attention to Ellis with Embiid posing such a threat as a scorer. Ellis scored 13 of his team-high 21 points and six of his team-best nine boards in the second half.

Point guard Naadir Tharpe also played with more confidence when

KANSAS POINT GUARD NAADIR THARPE GETS AN EARFUL from coach Bill Self during the second half.

Embiid returned, knowing that if he threw it up near the rim, Embiid would catch it, rock it behind his head and throw it through the hoop in such a convincing manner it juiced not only the crowd but everyone wearing a Kansas jersey.

Playing alongside an athlete with such a rare blend of size, speed and grace sets the bar high for teammates aware they are playing with a special basketball player improving, it seems, with each stride.

By playing the central role in Kansas quickly

stretching a one-point halftime lead to nine points in less than three minutes to open the second half, Embiid allowed teammates to play more freely.

He makes Kansas a completely different team, which intensifies the need for him to figure out how to stay out of foul trouble. His first foul was whistled in the opening minute, far from the hoop. His second was an over-the-back foul when he attempted to snare an offensive rebound.

“I was frustrated, even

though I didn’t think the second was a foul,” Embiid said.

Regardless of whether contact is made, referees typically call a foul when they see a player reaching over the man who has established position. Consequently, the more relevant issue isn’t whether a foul is committed, just whether it’s called.

“Next time, I’m going to be careful and not go over the back,” Embiid said.

He’s a quick learner.

He’s quick, period. And he makes everybody playing with him quicker.

Oklahoma turns back Tulsa The Associated Press

Men No. 7 Oklahoma St. 70, Louisiana Tech 55 OKLAHOMA CITY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Marcus Smart will likely have more opportunities to play on an NBA court.

But the All-America guard â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and potential lottery pick â&#x20AC;&#x201D; decided not to force any shots and get his teammates more involved Saturday at Chesapeake Energy Arena.

The Big 12 Conferenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading scorer took a backseat as Leâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Bryan Nash scored 22 points, and Oklahoma State overcame a sluggish start to pull away for a victory over Louisiana Tech.

Nash admitted that it was his day to lead the Cowboys (9-1), who hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t played a game in more than a week. And with so many scoring options to defend, there was little Louisiana Tech (83) could do after cutting Oklahoma Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead to 49-42 with 8:44 remaining. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wish I could have finished more shots,â&#x20AC;? Nash said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I probably would have had a career high or something.â&#x20AC;?

With Louisiana Tech determined to slow down Smart, Nash grabbed a game-high 10 rebounds and scored 15 of Oklahoma Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 31 points in the first half. Nash made six of his first 11 shots to pick up the slack for Smart, who finished with 13 points.

Smart was only 1-of-4 shooting in the first half, and he said he made a conscious effort to be more of an all-around player who created shots for his teammates. He added five rebounds, five assists and four steals.

Markel Brown had 13 points and Kamari Murphy added 10 for the Cowboys. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just trying to focus on making sure that I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t force a lot of things because I do have a talented group of guys around me that I really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to force things,â&#x20AC;? Smart said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They can create also, so I just kind of let them get in the flow of their game.â&#x20AC;?

Chris Anderson scored 14 points and Alex Hamilton added 12 points for Louisiana Tech, which held Oklahoma State scoreless over the first four minutes of the game.

Oklahoma 101, Tulsa 91 NORMAN, OKLA. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jordan Woodard hit for career highs with 24 points and eight assists to lead Oklahoma over Tulsa.

The freshman point guard got the better of his older brother James individually and overall as Jordanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sooners (9-1) beat Jamesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Tulsa squad.

Jordan scored 17 of his points from the free-throw line, while sophomore James led the Golden Hurricane with 19 points. Shaquille Harrison and Pat Swilling Jr. added 17 for Tulsa (3-7).

Oklahoma placed five players in double figures, including Buddy Hieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 23, as the Sooners won their fifth consecutive game.

The Sooners, already without backup point guard Jeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;lon Hornbeak, lost sophomore forward Ryan Spangler late in the first half with an injury to his right calf. Hornbeak broke his foot early in the week and is expected to miss four to six weeks.

A win and Chiefs are in â&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x201D;

Kansas City can clinch playoff berth with victory at Oakland

KANSAS UNIVERSITY WOMENâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S BASKETBALL COACH BONNIE HENRICKSON, RIGHT, talks to her players during their game against Texas Southern on Thursday at Allen Fieldhouse. The Jayhawks won, 105-78, and will face No. 18 Purdue today at home.

KU hosts No. 18 Purdue

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Comparing a pair of teamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; results against common opponents is an inexact science at best.

But if Kansas University womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson needed any more evidence of how good her teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next opponent is, she could simply look at how the Jayhawks and No. 18 Purdue handled their respective nonconference meetings with one of the top teams in the nation.

KU lost to No. 2 Duke, 73-40, on Nov. 30 at the EZ Global Payments Virgin Islands Paradise Jam. The Boilermakers, who visit Allen Fieldhouse at 2 p.m. today, were the undefeated Blue Devilsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; next victim, and lost, 99-78, on Dec. 5 at Cameron Indoor Stadium. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re good,â&#x20AC;? Henrickson said of Purdue (62). â&#x20AC;&#x153;They can score, boy.

They scored 78 on Duke, which has done a really good job defensively.â&#x20AC;?

The Boilermakers average 76.1 points a game (compared to KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 68.2) and their only other loss of the season came against another powerhouse, No. 6 Stanford, at a neutral site.

Senior guards KK Houser (14.6 points per game) and Courtney Moses (14.5) lead a four-guard, perimeter-oriented Purdue attack, and the two have combined to drain 31 of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 56 threepointers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got guys that can shoot the three,â&#x20AC;?

Henrickson said, adding the Boilermakers RESUME (36 perBOOSTER cent as a team from Who: No. 18 d o w n Boilermaktown) also ers (6-2) vs. attack off Jayhawks the dribble (5-4) and exeWhen: 2 p.m. cute in the half-court. today KU (5Where: Allen 4) ended Fieldhouse a threeTV: Jayhawk game losNetwork/ ing skid on Metro Sports Thursday, (WOW cable with a 105chs. 37, 226) 78 home win over Texas Southern.

Junior forward Chelsea Gardner (team-leading 16.8 points and 8.3 rebounds) said the idea of making it to the NCAA Tournament for the third straight season drives much of what the Jayhawks do. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why a

victory today, against a top 25 team, would mean so much. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a great opportunity, and we need that win to get us back on a (winning) streak,â&#x20AC;? Gardner said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and get our RPI back up.â&#x20AC;?

Through games played on Thursday, Kansas had the No. 77 RPI in the nation, according to rpiratings.com. KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s victories this season came against Oral Roberts (268th), SIU-Edwardsville (289th), Creighton (83rd), Central Michigan (53rd) and Texas Southern (194th). Purdue is ranked 30th in RPI. The Boilermakers last faced KU in 1999, in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, when they improved to 2-1 alltime versus the Jayhawks and went on to win their only national championship.

OAKLAND, CALIF. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; All it took to get the Kansas City Chiefs back on the winning track was a game against the struggling Washington Redskins.

A win this week against another last-place team will put the Chiefs in the playoffs one year after posting the worst record in the NFL. Kansas City (10-3) can clinch a playoff berth by beating the Oakland Raiders (4-9) today or with a loss by either Miami or Baltimore. The Chiefs still are in the division race in the AFC West, but will need help over the final two weeks if they want to pass Denver for first place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve put ourselves in a great situation,â&#x20AC;? quarterback Alex Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As far as the division goes, some things outside of our control. But we control our destiny to get in the playoffs and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still a great place to be.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a remarkable achievement for a team that went 2-14 a year ago in a season marred by the murder-suicide involving Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher, who shot to death the mother of his infant child before turning the gun on himself.

But with Smith and new coach Andy Reid supplementing a talented roster that had six Pro Bowl play-

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve put ourselves in a great situation.

As far as the division goes, some things outside of our control. But we control our destiny to get in the playoffs and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still a great place to be.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kansas City quarterback Alex Smith ers last year despite the dismal record, the Chiefs are in position to become the fourth team to make the playoffs a year after losing at least 14 games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every year we go into the season, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to get to the playoffs, trying to win the big one, and to have a chance to clinch it before the season is over is going to be great, just because of what we went through last year,â&#x20AC;? linebacker Derrick Johnson said.

After starting the season 9-0, the Chiefs lost three straight games before rebounding with a 4510 win over the Redskins last week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A loss in the National Football League, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a week real time but it seems like about a year when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going through it,â&#x20AC;?

Reid said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had three of those in a row and it just seemed like forever.â&#x20AC;?

McCluster ruled out with infection KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Chiefs wide receiver Dexter McCluster has been ruled out for todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game in Oakland after developing an infection in a small cut on his ankle.

The Chiefs were wary that McCluster may have developed MRSA, but trainer Rick Burkholder said tests came back nega-

tive for the serious strain of staph infection. McCluster has been receiving antibiotics to treat the infection.

McCluster, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s returned two punts for touchdowns this season, had been listed as questionable for the Raiders. A team spokesman said Saturday he will not make the trip.

He sustained the cut last week in the mud and snow at Washington.

The Chiefs had already ruled out left tackle Branden Albert with a hyperextended knee, tight end Anthony Fasano with a concussion and linebacker Justin Houston with a dislocated elbow.

REVELERS DRESSED AS SANTA CLAUS RUN DURING A MARATHON IN MADRID, SPAIN, on Saturday. About 6,000 people dressed as Santa Claus and his elves ran a “mini-marathon” through the streets of Madrid to promote festive cheer as the country tries to emerge from a two-year recession. While grown-ups dressed in red costumes with wispy white beards, children donned green elf outfits to run the 3.4-mile course through the city center. The race was organized Saturday by one of Spain’s leading department stores, and it contributed $1.34 for each entrant to a charity that buys Christmas presents for deprived children in the world.

HARRISBURG, PA. — A winter storm blanketed a wide swath of the Northeast with a picturesque white layer on Saturday and gave ski resorts a boost but caused dangerous travel conditions and complicated shopping plans less than two weeks before Christmas.

Multiple accidents were reported on roadways throughout the Midwest and Northeast, while airports reported hundreds of cancellations.

Airlines canceled nearly 1,200 flights because of the storm, including almost 375 flights into and out of Newark, N.J., and 189 at Chicago’s O’Hare airport.

“It’s a pretty bad day for Newark,” said Mark Duell, a spokesman for FlightAware, a website that tracks commercial airlines. More than 40 percent of New-

ark’s 900 flights were cut, he said.

The weather contributed to four deadly crashes on Missouri roads on Friday and Saturday and drivers in states throughout the path of the storm were warned of slick road conditions from snow and ice.

Parts of New England could see up to a foot by the time the front pulls out early Sunday and ushers in high winds that could be a hazard of their own.

Up to 14 inches could fall in coastal towns in Maine.

At resorts and ski towns in Northern New England, the snow was a welcome kickoff for the winter season.

“We have been watching (the forecast) since people first started talking about it on Monday or Tuesday,” said Ethan Austin, spokesman for the Sugarloaf Ski Resort in Carrabassett Valley, Maine. “Right now it’s set-

ting up pretty well for us, so we’re pretty psyched.”

The snow-dampened shopping weekend in midDecember was not such good news for retailers.

Kathy Grannis, a spokeswoman for the National Retail Federation, said consumers would likely take their shopping online. She said the weekend before Christmas will give retailers and shoppers another bite at the apple.

“If a big storm hits around the 21st, 22nd, it will be a completely different story,” Grannis said.

The storm dropped more than 6 inches on parts of interior Pennsylvania by sundown, and speed limits were reduced on major interstates. Snow was falling at up to 2 inches per hour in northern Pennsylvania late in the afternoon, while the storm seemed to be skipping other areas entirely.

informal shoe bank Baker started years ago. She collected dance shoes in all sizes that were still wearable, and kept them in a box for students who needed shoes to make the program more accessible. Morris says one of Baker’s greatest strengths was supporting every kid who wanted to dance.

It made sense to name the shoe fund after her.

art of what makes â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blue is the Warmest Color,â&#x20AC;? now playing at Liberty Hall, so remarkable is its length. In its three hours, Tunisianborn director Abdellatif Kechiche pinpoints key moments in the lesbian relationship of two young women. He gives each scene time to breathe and makes sure that above all else, they have the ring of truth.

This goes not only for scenes that take place at school, at parties, or across the dinner table, but also for the sex scenes. No movie in recent memory has constructed bedroom moments that contain this much passion or explicitness â&#x20AC;&#x201D; much less taken the time to show the evolution of lovemaking between two people.

The graphic sex scenes earned â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blue is the Warmest Colorâ&#x20AC;? an NC-17 rating, but it is the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s raw depiction of infatuation, lust and heartbreak that won it the Palm dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Or at Cannes this year when no less a mainstream American icon than Steven Spielberg headed up the jury.

The French title of the movie is â&#x20AC;&#x153;La Vie dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Adèleâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Chapitres 1 et 2â&#x20AC;?, which illuminates both its two-part structure and single-perspective point of view. A high school student who is already deeply interested in affairs of the heart and philosophy in the classic literature she reads at school (some of it, like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Antigone,â&#x20AC;? is a little too on-the-nose), Adèle (Adèle Exarchopoulos) doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite fit in with the other girls her age.

The first 90 minutes of the movie is her comingof-age story, and it is shot with an intimacy that is unsettling at first.

Gradually, we get used to being so close to Adèle, figuratively and literally â&#x20AC;&#x201D; through the nonstop close-ups of her face.

When she sees confident, blue-haired young artist Emma (LĂŠa Seydoux) walk by one day with her girlfriend, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Baker was also the founding artistic director and choreographer of the Prairie Wind Dancers for 18 years. One of her fondest memories, Baker says, was performing Carl Sandburgâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Prairieâ&#x20AC;? in the Flint Hills with Eugene Friesen and the Paul Winter Consort.

She now spends her leisure time traveling, reading and â&#x20AC;&#x153;getting to be a grandma.â&#x20AC;? Of course, Baker will head to the Lawrence Arts Center to see shining students in â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Kansas Nutcracker,â&#x20AC;? and not have to worry about administrative responsibilities her previous role entailed.

Baker feels blessed to have been so heavily involved with her passion, a passion she has seen evolve in her students starting early. She recalls a 9-year-old who almost skipped a Nutcracker production seven years ago because her parents worried about the time commitment required. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She just looked at them and said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;But Mom, Dad, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know, but this is my life,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Baker says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And now she is dancing as the Snow Queen this year, which is a very difficult role.â&#x20AC;?

bringing such emotional complexity to life that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to relate to for anyone who has been in love.

The filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s notorious sex scenes are just a small part of the larger picture, because the movie asks a lot of timeless questions about love and devotion: How lopsided can love be? Is all-encompassing love â&#x20AC;&#x153;good for youâ&#x20AC;?? How does it limit you? What will you give up for love?

That these questions are posed organically within the film is why â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blue is the Warmest Colorâ&#x20AC;? will have enduring appeal and hopefully move beyond the reason it is currently making headlines.

Return of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Hobbitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Another movie with a huge amount of hype behind it (for very different reasons â&#x20AC;&#x201D; ha!) is the second in a threepart adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkienâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Hobbitâ&#x20AC;? from Peter Jackson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Hobbit: The Desolation of

Smaugâ&#x20AC;? is full of cuttingedge computer-animated action scenes, yet at times this two-and-a-half-hour middle chapter feels longer than â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blue is the Warmest Color.â&#x20AC;?

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not to say it is a bad film â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just that the time spent before and between its two main set pieces (a boisterous escape in barrels and the climactic showdown with the dragon) is poorly paced. In the previous â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Lord of the Ringsâ&#x20AC;? trilogy, Jackson did an excellent job juggling characters and storylines that painted a detailed picture of Tolkienâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Middle Earth.

In the first two movies of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Hobbit,â&#x20AC;? however, there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as much richness of character or story to draw from, so Jackson fills the holes with action.

For a film called â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Hobbit,â&#x20AC;? there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much of said Hobbit until the last third. Martin Freeman has grown into the role of Bilbo Baggins even more comfortably, but without a Hobbit sidekick like Samwise to bounce his fears off of, he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say much. The dwarfs who accompany Bilbo have slivers of their own personalities, but mostly they act as a unified group â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and not too keenly, I might add.

A subplot involving Gandalf (Ian McKellan) is entirely devoid of drama, a shoehorned-in romance between the elf Tauriel (Evangeline Lilly) and dwarf Kili (Aidan Turner) is strange but provides much-needed motivation to bring fan-favorite Legolas (Orlando Bloom) into the picture, and the introduction of a Laketown barge man (Luke Evans) works well â&#x20AC;&#x201D; even though the constant-

ly shifting opinions of his townspeople make little sense.

What everyone has truly been waiting for in â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaugâ&#x20AC;? is right there in the title, and Jackson doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t disappoint. Like Gollum before him, Smaug (voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch) is an impressively rendered CGI creation, simmering with menace and infused with a bit of empathy.

Bilboâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s encounter with the dragon is pure movie magic.

As with last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey,â&#x20AC;? the biggest weakness of this new chapter is that the journey doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t carry any weight anymore. It is entirely expected. In form, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very similar to â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Lord of the Ringsâ&#x20AC;? with lots of walking and talking montages and an identical central conflict â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the corrupting temptation of the all-powerful ring and a call to courage for a Hobbit. Far from the journey, then, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the individual moments that elicit the greatest pleasure. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Eric is a longtime Lawrence.com/Journal-World entertainment writer.

KANSAS CITY CONNECTION

Sunday, December 15, 2013

By Lucas Wetzel

Soccer, shopping and holiday shows

L

ast week, Kansas City became home to a championship pro sports team once again as Sporting Kansas City won the Major League Soccer Cup under frigid conditions â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the coldest game in league history, at 20 degrees. The win capped off a big year for Kansas City soccer, with Sporting Park the first MLS stadium to ever host the All-Star Game, U.S. Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Team and the MLS Cup final in one year.

If the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer success has you eager to take a more active role, check out the first annual Truce Tournament on Dec. 26 at the World War I Museum at Liberty Memorial.

Sponsored by the Museum and Sporting Club, the amateur 3-on-3 tournament includes a kegs and eggs breakfast, free admission to the museum, and an English Premier League watch party for all participants.

Registration is open until Friday and can be completed at TheTruceKC. com. Registration costs $180 per team, or tickets can be purchased to the breakfast and watch party separately, with proceeds benefiting the cancerfighting Victory Project.

Participants must be over 18 to take part and at least 21 to drink.

most interesting places to shop in the area. Mickeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is one of the oldest Amy/ Navy surplus stores in the country, holding down the fort at 2601 Strong Ave. for over 50 years.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good place to shop for boots, knives, medical scrubs, winter clothes and all sorts of military insignia and patches to honor veterans.

Mickeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. every day but Sunday. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be alarmed by the combat imagery on the home page of mickeyssurplus. com â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the owners are actually pretty friendly folks. On the other hand, it is a military surplus store, and possibly the only website Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever been to that has its own

What: Award-winning

Holiday shopping Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d driven by Casa Mesa dozens of times before the colorful patio furniture, decorative metal cacti and clay ovens finally lured me into the building on Southwest Boulevard abutting the railroad tracks.

When I got inside I was amazed at the color and variety of the storeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inventory, which includes furniture, blankets, wall hangings, mirrors, ceramic tiles, sculpture â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all handmade and imported directly from Mexico.

Basically, Casa Mesa looks like one of those big novelty stores you see in Mexican border towns, except with much more sturdily crafted and tastefully selected wares.

Compared with your standard furniture store, the prices here are low, and the items are all one of a kind. Inventory switches out regularly here, so if you see something you like, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best to pounce on it, because you probably wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see it again.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m usually pretty stumped when it comes to what I should buy my parents or in-laws, but at Casa Mesa I had no trouble finding gifts for each. The store is located at 3054 Southwest Blvd. and is open every day except Monday. See casamesaimports.com for more details.

Whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re shopping for gifts or just looking for warm gear for your next hunting/camping/outdoor trip, Mickeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Surplus in the Argentine District of Kansas City, Kan., is one of the

Even with the best of intentions, my wish for a telephoto lens might result in a telescope instead.

Of course, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the same in reverse. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a yoga instructor and a couple of years ago I could just as easily have presented her with the autobiography of Yogi Berra rather than the Sue Atchison, desired â&#x20AC;&#x153;Autobiography retired, of a Yogi.â&#x20AC;?

I tend to like photo books that feature a single photographer and include information about their life and work with plenty of samples of their images.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve suggested other books on Maier in the past. Unknown as a photographer during her lifetime, her 120,000 negatives were discovered after her death in 2009.

Mother accuses woman of lying about abuse Dear Annie: My wife and I have been married for 34 years. I love her dearly and would do anything for her.

When my wife was 8 years old, she was molested by her uncle. She told me about this before we were married, and she made it clear that she never wanted her father to find out.

My father-in-law passed away suddenly 10 years ago. My wife told her mother and her two brothers about the molestation. Her mother confronted the uncle, as any parent would do. But he denied his guilt, and his wife threw her out of their home and said she never wanted to speak to her again. My mother-inlaw and her sister have not spoken since then.

Three years ago, my not-so-wonderful mother-in-law accused my wife of lying, saying the molestation was my wife’s fault. This made

me very angry. I talked to my mother-in-law, but she refused to rescind her accusations toward my wife. My wife refuses to speak to her mother now.

An additional problem is that my wife’s younger brother, with whom she was always close, accuses her of holding a grudge, and he’s giving her the silent treatment.

Is there any way to fix this mess? How could we possibly forgive my mother-in-law for the hurtful things she has said about my wife? — Pete

‘Psych’ cast takes on a musical case ‘Tis the season to burst into song. “Psych” (8 p.m. Sunday, USA), one of television’s most dependably smart yet silly series, offers a two-hour musical extravaganza, featuring 14 original songs co-written by “Psych” creator/executive producer Steve Franks and composer Adam Cohen.

Loosely based on “The Phantom of the Opera,” this case involves the story of a frustrated playwright named Z (Anthony Rapp, “Rent”), who, six years earlier, murdered a mean-spirited critic and burned down a theater on the opening night of his life’s work, a musical based on Jack the Ripper. Recently escaped from a psychiatric facility, Z embarks on a thematic murder spree.

After a few thoroughly ridiculous explanatory song and dance numbers (”Santa Barbara Skies,” ‘‘Making Up a Song”) about being a fake psychic and a non-cop working for the police force in a sunny, placid city, Shawn (James Roday) and Gus (Dule Hill) buckle down to solve the musical mystery. Their first job is to gain the confidence of Z’s best friend in lockup, a deranged character who offers cryptic clues to Z’s next step.

Guest stars include Ally Sheedy, who reprises her role as Yang. Barry Bostwick shows up and immediately invokes his participation in legendary spoof musical “The Rocky Horror Picture Show.” Look for Brooke Lyons (”2 Broke Girls”) and Jimmi Simpson (”It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”). Kurt Fuller (”Midnight in Paris”) returns to play Woody the coroner. ‘‘Psych the Musical” will hardly reinvent the genre, or leave many in the audience humming the score. But it’s a great example of a show and its cast confident enough to have a lark, inviting viewers to join along.

Tonight’s Other Highlights

Scheduled on “60 Minutes” (6 p.m., CBS): inside the NSA; Egypt’s Coptic Christians.

The Pittsburgh Steelers host the Cincinnati Bengals on “Sunday Night Football” (7:20 p.m., NBC).

Questions of redemption loom large on the season finale of “Homeland” (8 p.m., Showtime).

New Year’s Eve on “Treme” (8 p.m., HBO).

Dr. James’ exercise program conflicts with Patsy’s initiative on “Getting On” (9 p.m., HBO).

The team’s findings and footage do not elicit the desired response on the season finale of “Masters of Sex” (9 p.m., Showtime).

BIRTHDAYS Actor-comedian Tim Conway is 80. Actor Don Johnson is 64.

Actor Justin Ross is 59. Rock musician Paul Simonon is 58.

Actress Helen Slater is 50. Actor Adam Brody is 34. Actress Michelle Dockery is 32. Actress Camilla Luddington is 30.

Dear Pete: It is reprehensible for your motherin-law to blame your wife for the molestation. The fault lies squarely with the uncle. Your motherin-law misses her sister, and as she gets older, the loss is weighing on her.

She took out her grief on your wife. The brother is simply contributing his part to the family proclivity for estrangement. If you want it to end, someone has to take the first step toward forgiveness.

If your mother-in-law is willing, family counseling could help with reconciliation.

Dear Annie: For the past few years at Christmas, my husband and I have donated to an animal shelter in our area instead of receiving or giving gifts. We generally celebrate Christmas with my stepdaughter and her family at their home a few hours away. We tell them in advance that we will be donating to an animal

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Sunday, Dec. 15: This year you often feel as if others come on a little too strong.

Understand that you are not going to change them, but you can establish your boundaries. If you are single, you initially might be put off by a potential suitor’s assertiveness.

If you are attached, the two of you will play many control games.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) You have a lot to do, yet you seem to enjoy the pace. You also have a lot of energy. Tonight: Hang up the mistletoe.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Be aware of a possessive streak that a loved one sometimes inadvertently triggers. Go out and get some fresh air, which might involve tagging a tree and bringing it home. Tonight: Order in.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You will be in the moment. Try not to be so extravagant when choosing a gift for a special person. Tonight: Forget tomorrow.

Live now.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Slow down and take some time to relax and enjoy being with your family. A discussion about some holiday details will help make the next few weeks run smoothly.

Tonight: Do something just for you.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You don’t need the holidays to make you smile — you just need people. You like being on center stage and socializing.

Tonight: Where people are.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) A friend or family mem-

ber’s request for you to join him or her for brunch might be too appealing to say “no” to. Tonight: You could go on and on.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You seem to be in the right place at the right time. Get away from the hectic pace and everything that surrounds you. Tonight: Refreshed, anything becomes possible.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Work with someone directly. This person might demand that you be an active partner in something you both are involved in.

Tonight: You do not have to explain.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Others could be very belligerent in declaring that they will do what they want without first discussing it with you. Your best bet is not to trigger a reaction. Tonight: In the moment.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Use the daylight hours to the max. Pretend that you are Santa as you go off to complete your holiday shopping list. Tonight: Get some much-needed R and R. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You could turn a boring project into a happening. Wrap several presents, and your imagination will perk up. Tonight: Your inner child emerges.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You might need to distance yourself from others. Once you cancel some plans, do whatever you want. Tonight: Stay home.

shelter and ask that they also consider it.

Last year, on Christmas Day, there were gifts from them to us under the tree. Meanwhile, we brought nothing and felt terrible. They don’t seem to understand when we tell them the only gift we need is a donation to an animal shelter. Is there a way for us to feel more gracious about receiving their gifts when we brought nothing for them? — Grinch in Arizona Dear Grinch: You don’t get to tell them what to give you. Bring a card, preferably from the animal shelter, saying a donation has been made in their honor.

That’s your gift to them, and it’s lovely. There’s no reason to feel embarACROSS rassed.
