TOPEKA — The Kansas Board of Regents on Wednesday approved a policy that would allow the firing of university employees if they communicated through social media in a way that aversely affects the school.

The policy was made in response to the anti-NRA tweet by Kansas University professor David Guth, which caused a national uproar.

Under the social media policy approved unanimously Guth by the regents, the chief executive officer of a state university has the authority to suspend, dismiss or terminate any faculty or staff member who

The Regents’ policy Improper use of social media, according to the Regents policy, means making a communication that:

Directly incites violence or other immediate breach of the peace;

Is made pursuant to the employee’s official duties and is contrary to the best interests of the university;

Discloses confidential student information, protected health care information, personnel records, personal financial information, or confidential research data; or

Impairs discipline by superiors or harmony among co-workers, has a detrimental impact on close working relationships, impedes the performance of the speaker’s official duties, interferes with the regular operation of the university, or otherwise adversely affects the university’s ability to efficiently provide services.

JEREMY EDENS testifies Wednesday at the preliminary hearing of Brittny Marie Adams, who is charged in the homicide of his father, Gary Edens.

Ice, ice, maybe?

Buying ice skates may be premature, but if you’re at all interested in an outdoor rink in Lawrence you might want to weigh in on a current topic of conversation at City Hall.

Noting the longtime success of the rink at Crown Center in Kansas City, Mo., folks in the parks and recreation department are exploring the feasibility of a seasonal rink in Lawrence.

Mark Hecker, assistant director for parks and recreation, said options include an area near the Outdoor Aquatics Center and part of South Park. But the most intriguing location is the plaza area that will exist between the city’s

new parking garage and the expanded Lawrence Public Library once it’s finished next year.

City Manager David Corliss is intrigued by it: More people downtown in winter, parking in the adjacent garage, a quick walk over to Massachusetts Street.

None of the details — space, cost and the like — are figured out.

The financial feasibility of renting a portable rink with ice-making equipment likely would involve finding a corporate sponsor and a fee for skaters.

It’s far from a done deal, but officials seem to be serious about exploring it.

Oil production may have led to earthquake

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

A rare earthquake centered in southern Kansas this week may have been a manmade event caused by oil production activity in that area, according to the Kansas Geological Survey.

“That’s the concern,” KGS Interim Director Rex Buchanan said. “There have been cases of ‘triggered seismicity’ in Arkansas and Oklahoma. We’re looking to see if that’s what happened here.”

But Buchanan said it may be hard to determine definitively whether the quake was natural or man-made because it occurred in an area that historically has had some natural seismic activity.

The temblor, which measured 3.8 on the Richter scale, occurred Monday and was centered near the town of Caldwell, about 40 miles south of Wichita, near the Oklahoma border.

BRIEFLY KU, city sign deals second, and then eventually its way up to $2.66 with transit provider work million for 2018.

Kansas University and the city of Lawrence have both signed five-year contracts with MV Transportation to service their coordinated transit system, the university announced Wednesday.

MV has provided busing for Lawrence’s transit system for the past 13 years and KU’s for about six and a half years. The new agreement, which includes operation of KU’s Park and Ride, SafeRide and SafeBus programs as well as special events transportation, will extend the relationship between KU and MV through December 2018.

The estimated total cost per year would go down from $2.62 million in the first year, to $2.54 in the

About two-thirds of those costs are covered by KU student fees, with the other third coming from parking fees, Kaiser said.

The city announced details of its own contract with MV earlier this week. The city is set to pay $3.57 million to MV Transportation in 2014, which is up less than 1 percent compared to 2013 totals, said Bob Nugent, the city’s public transit administrator. City payments to MV are projected to decline slightly in 2015 and 2016, Nugent said.

Although the city and KU coordinate their transit system, they contract separately with MV because of the different services and needs each requires.

makes improper use of social media.

Each university must establish and publish grievance procedures for use by faculty and staff in appealing employment decisions of the institution.

Fred Logan, board chairman, said the policy tracks language in U.S. Supreme Court decisions on First Amendment rights and was deemed constitutional by the Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt’s office.

Logan said a specific policy on social media was needed because “there is some feeling that social media Logan can lead to extraordinary damage very quickly.�

In addition, board members said they thought it was necessary to institute a policy on social media when they realized after the Guth uproar that there wasn’t one.

He said the policy was “inspired� by the Guth incident, but declined to say whether Guth could have been fired under the new

— Sheryl Lidzy, president of the Council of Faculty Senate at Emporia State University policy. Logan said that incident was a personnel matter for KU to decide.

KU spokesman Tim Caboni declined to speculate on how the policy would have affected Guth’s situation.

Guth was placed on administrative leave in September after a Twitter post following the shootings that left 13 dead at the Navy Yard in Washington, D.C. Guth wrote: “The blood is on the hands of the #NRA. Next time, let it be YOUR sons and daughters. Shame on you. May God damn you.�

The post angered many who thought Guth was wishing death on the children of National Rifle Association members. Guth has since apologized and has said he did not mean that he wanted children to die.

Guth’s leave has since ended, and he’s been put back to work on administrative duties.

KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said the policy was generated by the regents, and she wasn’t that familiar with it. She

to make it look like the gun had accidentally discharged — something she said Rush, had instructed her to do to create the appearance of an accident.

Eastman’s testimony matched accounts from one of the detectives who interviewed Adams several times in the 48 hours after her arrest. M.T. Brown, a Lawrence Police Department detective, told the court that Adams said Rush, 29, drove her to the residence at 647 Michigan St. in search of two girls who abandoned Adams in Topeka and took off with her car.

In one of her interviews with detectives, Adams said that her gun fired as she hit Edens “in a swiping motion� when Edens and his 29-year-old son, Jeremy, struggled with Rush.

Jeremy Edens, who is now in custody in another county on charges unrelated to this case, also testified that he was at the home at which Gary Edens was said to have been living since January when he saw his father answer the door and noticed Adams and a man at the doorstep.

Jeremy Edens said he had met Adams through a mutual friend at the same location the Sunday before the shooting and that he became concerned when he saw his father step outside and close the door.

Though it was unclear who made it known that Adams and Rush had guns, Jeremy Edens said a struggle began soon after he went outside. He said he grabbed Rush as Rush reached for a gun.

Brown testified that Adams told him she brought two handguns to the home to intimidate residents as she looked for information about the girls who allegedly had her car. The gun that was fired into Edens’ head, Brown said, was stored in the waistband of a pair of shorts Adams wore under a summer dress.

Jeremy Edens said he heard a gunshot as he

said any decision to fire someone could ultimately be appealed to court.

Faculty representatives had urged the board to postpone its Wednesday vote so that faculty members could provide input. “It’s a little broad and doesn’t protect us in a lot of ways,� Sheryl Lidzy, of Emporia State University, who is president of the Council of Faculty Senate, said of the policy.

Logan refused, but added that the board would welcome input over the next several months. “That will be part of a continuing conversation,� he said.

Gerald Mikkelson, a KU professor of Russian and Eastern European studies and member of the KU Faculty Senate, said he was “not only surprised but shocked� by the policy, which he described as “repressive� and a “threat to the already existing mechanisms for dealing with malfeasance.� “It’s a direct affront to the faculty and staff,� he said.

KU Provost Jeff Vitter urged the regents to use caution, saying that the policy will be scrutinized nationally. “You are potentially walking into a dangerous situation,� he said.

ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY EVE KEMPLE, left, confers with District Attorney Charles Branson during testimony by Jeremy Edens, son of homicide victim Gary Edens, 51, of Lawrence. struggled with Rush and soon saw his father on the ground, not moving. After hearing the shot, Edens said, he released his grip on Rush and took cover behind a recreational vehicle parked outside the home. Edens said Rush pointed a gun at him but didn’t fire before fleeing in a purple Pontiac with Adams.

Brown and Eastman both shared accounts of Adams later describing how she wiped down the gun allegedly used to shoot Edens before throwing it out of a window in Topeka. Brown also said Adams destroyed her cellphone and also threw it out of the car’s window after fleeing the scene.

The prosecution, which is being led by District Attorney Charles Branson and Assistant District Attorney Eve Kemple, cited the testimony that Adams pulled the gun out of her waistband and shot Edens at close range, evidence that Adams regularly carried loaded guns and that she tried to dispose of the gun and phone after the shooting as sufficient ground on which to increase the charges. “There’s no set amount of time that equals or translates into first-degree murder,� Kemple said, referring to the premeditation requirement in the first-degreee charge. “Just the thought going into it.�

Rush and Adams were arrested in southeast To-

peka within an hour after Edens’ death, which was reported to police at about 6:20 p.m. Gary Edens’ then-7-year-old son was also present at the time of the shooting. Edens’ widow, Susan Burris, attended Wednesday’s hearing, which also included testimony from the county coroner and a Lawrence police officer who responded to the shooting call.

TOPEKA — The cost of room and board at Kansas University will increase next year by approximately 2.5 percent under a plan approved Wednesday by the Kansas Board of Regents.

The traditional arrangement of two residents per room and a typical meal plan at KU will cost $7,896 for 2014-15, $194 more than the current rate.

KU’s increase, which will be in effect for the next fall semester, was second lowest among the six regents schools.

Kansas State University will see a 3.9 percent increase; Emporia State, 3.6 percent; Pittsburg State, 3 percent; and Fort Hays State, 2.1 percent.

OSHA cites plant for health and safety violations

CITY COMMISSION

Jingle all the way

Initial pay raise proposal approved

By Giles Bruce gbruce@ljworld.com

A local manufacturer has been cited for several violations after federal inspectors say they identified numerous health and safety risks at its plant in East Lawrence.

Grandstand Sportswear and Glassware, which is a custom glassware and apparel manufacturer, was cited this week by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health AdministraPiper tion for 27 violations, mainly for hazards associated with lead and other harmful chemicals. The company employs 95 people at its plant at 3840 Greenway Circle.

During a health inspection earlier this year, OSHA officials took wipe and air samples and detected lead, inorganic arsenic and cadmium, which led to 21 health violations. In announcing the violations on Wednesday, OSHA noted that Grandstand’s “failure to implement basic safety procedures” to monitor and prevent employee exposure to the contaminants “led to serious health risks.”

After noticing safety risks during the first inspection, OSHA officials returned for a separate investigation a few months later and issued six safety violations for machinery and electrical hazards.

Chris Piper, president of Grandstand, said the issues, besides ones that the company objects to, have been Please see OSHA, page 4A

organizations calling for gift donations from the public, and with less than a week until the holiday arrives, many of those groups in the Lawrence area say the public has answered the call.

Several agencies say that all or most of their donation needs have been met, though some still could use more support.

Just Food, for example, is still looking for donors

to provide a Christmas dinner for more than 300 families, according to a call for donations email sent out by the organization. A donation of $13 provides a meal for one family and payment can be made online through Just Food’s website, justfoodks.org.

Jeremy Farmer, executive director of Just

Food, said nearly 700 families signed up for the program.

Meanwhile, other agencies praised Lawrence and the surrounding communities for a swift response to their donation calls.

The Court Appointed Special Advocates for Children in Douglas County is accepting

Christmas stockings full of items for abused and neglected children. Diana Frederick, the director, said the response has been “tremendous,” but there remains a shortage of items for babies and toddlers.

Frederick said items such as rattles, teething rings, blankets and other toys would be useful. The organization also houses a giving tree, where kids can take items from the tree and give them as presents to others. Items Please see DONATIONS, page 4A

A plan to increase the salaries of Lawrence city commissioners may happen sooner than once expected.

Commissioners late Tuesday night preliminarily agreed to a plan that would more than double the annual salary of commissioners, and it would kick in before two of the five commissioners face re-election. It would be the first raise for the commission since 1999.

A plan proposed by Commissioners Terry Riordan and Bob Schumm would raise the annual salary of commissioners to $20,000, up CITY from $9,000 today. The COMMISSION m a y o r would receive $25,000, up from $10,000 today. Riordan and Schumm also lobbied for the salary increase to take effect after the April 2015 elections.

Previously, Mayor Mike Dever had suggested that the pay increases take effect as new commissioners come onto the commission or after an existing commissioner Please see PAY, page 4A

tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been said that the best days of your life are in college, but who says you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep moments from those days alive?

Bass player Dave Shelton adopted that mentality when setting up his first annual holiday soul cover show six years ago upon his return from New York to Lawrence.

Shelton studied jazz performance at New School University in Manhattan, but he spent most college breaks throwing massive house parties in Lawrence where his soul cover band, James Lipton Funk Experience, would entertain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were the most ridiculous, probably memorable for all the

wrong reasons, kind of parties,â&#x20AC;?

Shelton says.

Lawrence youngsters couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but flock to them, he says. Shelton wanted to bring that back to life during the holidays and his first trip back to Lawrence in a few years. He called up past Funk Experience vocalists Gina Lorenz and Hugh Naughtin, and the three threw together a new soul group and song lineup for the firstever Christmas Eve Soul Shakedown, drawing in Lawrence townies from near and far.

And so began house party experience 2.0; the party venue (several steps up) would be the Eighth Street Taproom.

County to prohibit weapons in buildings

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

GOING OUT

OFF THE BEATEN PLATE

By Nadia ImaďŹ don

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Carrying weapons into the Douglas County courthouse, or any other county building, will continue to be prohibited after Jan. 1.

County commissioners on Wednesday voted unanimously to approve a resolution exempting county buildings from a new state law that would otherwise allow people with valid permits to carry concealed weapons into most municipal buildings.

Commissioners also adopted a second resolution specifically prohibiting COUNTY COMMISSION anyone from carrying concealed weapons into those buildings, regardless of whether they have a valid permit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From the outset, this has been a matter of local control,â&#x20AC;? Commissioner Jim Flory said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were elected by the people of Douglas County to govern the property of Douglas County. Obviously, the state legislation recognizes the local governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s authority in allowing exemptions.â&#x20AC;?

Earlier this year, Kansas lawmakers passed a bill expanding the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concealed carry law by requiring most municipal governments to allow concealed carry in their public buildings unless they have â&#x20AC;&#x153;adequate security measuresâ&#x20AC;? to ensure that nobody can carry a weapon inside.

The law took effect July 1, but it allowed local governments to exempt themselves for six months, until Dec. 31, to

Quake CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Buchanan said there is no evidence yet to suggest the quake was caused by hydraulic fracturing, or â&#x20AC;&#x153;fracking,â&#x20AC;? a process that involves injecting pressurized fluid into a well to fracture the ground and release oil or natural gas.

More commonly, he said, minor quakes related to oil drilling are caused by the disposal of salt water waste from oil drilling operations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of saltwater produced with oil,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once you separate that off, you need to dispose of it. In Kansas, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done in wells deep in the subsurface.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is production and disposal wells in the general vicinity around there,â&#x20AC;? he said.

develop security plans.

And it allows them to take another four-year exemption to give them time to implement those plans.

Both Douglas County and the city of Lawrence have opted to take advantage of both of those exemptions.

The countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resolutions state that it has a plan for adequate security measures, and that plan may be examined by the Kansas Attorney Generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office or local law enforcement agencies. But it is not open to the public because the new law specifically exempts those plans from the Kansas Open Records Act. County administrator Craig Weinaug said that while the attorney generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office may review the plan if it chooses to do so, it is his understanding that the attorney general does not have authority under the new law to accept or reject the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan, or to revoke the exemption.

The action Wednesday came after another closeddoor meeting â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the third such meeting in recent weeks â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to discuss that plan with officials from the Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department, county counselorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office and other county departments.

Patrick Wilbur, a Lawrence resident who said he represented the Douglas County Libertarian Party, spoke against adopting the resolutions. He said doing so would not make county employees or members of the public more safe, but could expose the county to additional costs and future legal liability.

But Commission Chairman Mike Gaughan said he supported the measures.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our responsibility to set policy of the county and to make decisions about public employees who work here,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The policy Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m comfortable supporting is one that continues to prohibit concealed carry in our buildings.â&#x20AC;?

Also Wednesday, commissioners asked to have a resolution drafted for consideration next month seeking to have the courthouse listed on the City of Lawrenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Register of Historic Places.

Such a move would give the Lawrence Historic Resources Commission authority to review development plans for any property within a 250-foot radius of the building.

The courthouse is already listed on both the state and national registers of historic buildings.

But Kansas lawmakers this year narrowed the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preservation law by eliminating protection within the so-called â&#x20AC;&#x153;environsâ&#x20AC;? zone, so the state law now only requires review of demolition or construction plans for the listed buildings themselves.

In other business, the county commission:

Directed staff to finalize contracts with US Bank for banking and procurement services, and FIS for merchant services.

Deferred action on a proposed resolution to amend the inspection fees for solar, thermal and photovoltaic systems.

Approved a holiday schedule for 2014.

And approved cereal malt beverage permits for Clinton Marina and Clinton Submarina, 1329 E. 800 Road.

Officials at the Kansas Corporation Commission, which regulates oil and gas production in the state, said it is looking into the issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is important to point out that Kansas has a long history of oil production with very few reported incidents of any kind,â&#x20AC;?

KCC spokesman Jesse Borjon said in an email. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The KCC is looking into the issue of seismic activity as it relates to oil and gas activities. We have been in communication with the Kansas Geological (Survey) and continue to gather information.â&#x20AC;?

Buchanan said there is also a possibility that the earthquake was entirely natural.

Caldwell is in Sumner County, just west of a geological formation called the Nemaha Ridge, a buried granite mountain range that extends roughly from Omaha, Neb., to Oklahoma City.

According to informa-

tion on the KGS website, that ridge was formed about 300 million years ago and the faults around it are still â&#x20AC;&#x153;slightly activeâ&#x20AC;? today, although most of the seismic activity has been on the eastern side of the ridge, in an area known as the Humboldt fault zone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There has been activity down in that part of the state,â&#x20AC;? Buchanan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whether this is a continuation of that or something else, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the very early stages of talking about.â&#x20AC;?

The largest recorded earthquake in Kansas, estimated at 5.1 on the Richter scale, hit near Manhattan in 1867. It reportedly toppled chimneys and cracked foundations, and is said to have been felt as far away as Dubuque, Iowa.

HAM AND CORN BUN Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to find these Asian breads by accident. Located in a small, plain and obscure joint behind Office Depot on 25th and Iowa streets, Formosa Bakery is a hidden trove of unique Taiwanese-prepared buns.

Sweet or savory, and sometimes both, the freshly baked soft bread acts as a shallow bowl holding chopped ham and corn, with a light mixture of tomato sauce, cheddar cheese and creamy mayo in the center. Other bun options include shredded pork, taro, cream, red bean and black sesame, garlic and ham, coconut and sweet onion.

Open since August, this bakery sells breads and pastries, both unique and conventional. They are prepared differently from many traditional baked goods, with less sugar and no preservatives, resulting in a lighter and smoother texture.

Ga. woman has 1 of 2 winning lottery tickets

By Johnny Clark

Associated Press

ATLANTA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Georgia woman who bought just one ticket and used family birthdays and lucky No. 7 to choose her numbers was one of two winners of the $636 million Mega Millions jackpot, the second largest in U.S. history.

Lottery officials in Georgia identified the winner as Ira Curry, of Stone Mountain, which is east of Atlanta. Curry will take a lump sum of about $120 million after taxes, Georgia Lottery chief executive Debbie Alford said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She has not decided how sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll spend those winnings,â&#x20AC;? Alford said at a news conference that Curry did not attend.

The other winning ticket was sold at a gift shop in San Jose, Calif. The winner there has one year to come forward.

Curry was driving to work Wednesday when an announcer on the radio talked about the Mega Ball being 7. Curry knew that was her Mega Ball number, so she called her daughter to check the ticket. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Between joyful tears and laughter on the daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part, she relayed to her mother that her mother had won the lottery,â&#x20AC;? Alford said.

Alford wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say where Curry worked or how old she was. A person who answered the phone at a listing for Curry said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are not interested in any publicity, thank you for callingâ&#x20AC;? and then hung up.

Bipartisan budget agreement clears House and Senate

By David Espo Associated Press

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Congress sent President Barack Obama legislation Wednesday scaling back across-the-board cuts on programs ranging from the Pentagon to the national park system, adding a late dusting of bipartisanship to a year more likely to be remembered for a partial government shutdown and near-perpetual gridlock.

Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature was assured on the measure, which lawmakers in both parties and at opposite ends of the Capitol said they hoped would curb budget brinkmanship and prevent more shutdowns in the near future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good first step away from the shortsighted, crisis-driven decisionmaking that has only served to act as a drag on our economy,â&#x20AC;? he said of the measure in a statement issued after the vote.

And yet, he quickly added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;there is much more work to do to ensure our economy works for every working American.â&#x20AC;?

The legislation passed the Democratic-controlled Senate on a vote of 64-36, six days after clearing the Republican-run House by a similarly bipartisan margin of 332-94.

The product of intensive year-end talks, the measure met the shortterm political needs of Republicans, Democrats

and the White House. As a result, there was no suspense about the outcome of the vote in the Senate â&#x20AC;&#x201D; only about fallout in the 2014 elections and, more immediately, its impact on future congressional disputes over spending and the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debt limit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m tired of the gridlock and the American people that I talk to, especially from Arkansas, are tired of it as well,â&#x20AC;? said Sen. Mark Pryor, a Democrat who supported the bill yet will have to defend his vote in next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign for a new term.

His likely Republican rival, Rep. Tom Cotton, voted against the measure last week when it cleared the House.

The measure, negotiated by Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., and Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., averts $63 billion in acrossthe-board s p e n d ing cuts that were t h e m Murray selves the result of an earlier inability of lawmakers and the White House to agree on a sweeping deficit reduction plan. That represents about one-third of the cuts originally ticketed for the 2014 and 2015 budget years and known in Washington as sequestration.

The race has ended

After 75 years of thoroughbred racing, Betfair Hollywood Park is closing for good.

WICHITA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A federal grand jury on Wednesday indicted the man accused of plotting a suicide bomb attack at a Kansas airport where he worked as an avionics technician.

The three-count indictment charges Terry Lee Loewen with attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction, attempted COURTS use of an explosive device to damage property and attempted material support to the terrorist group al-Qaida.

FBI investigators say Loewen was trying to take what he believed was a car bomb onto the tarmac at Wichitaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mid-Continent Airport when they arrested him on Friday.

The charges returned by the grand jury are essentially the same as those brought in a criminal complaint Friday and the indictment does not provide new details on the case. But the grand jury indictment makes a public preliminary hearing unnecessary.

Loewenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense attorney, John Henderson, declined to comment Wednesday. The grand jury proceedings were secret.

Tyson Foods plant cited by OSHA HUTCHINSON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A federal workplace safety agency has recommended that Tyson Foods pay a $147,000 fine because of several serious workplace viola-

Hutchinson plant.

The U.S. Department of Laborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Occupational Safety and Health Administration said that in the last 10 years the plant has had seven serious violations and that some of the most recent violations were â&#x20AC;&#x153;willful.â&#x20AC;? OSHA proposed the $147,000 fine for four violations found during its latest inspection.

Tyson spokesman Worth Sparkman said the company is reviewing the citations and will work with the federal agency to resolve the concerns.

OSHA also ordered the plant, which has about 150 employees, be placed in its Severe Violator Enforcement Program, which â&#x20AC;&#x153;focuses on recalcitrant employers that endanger workers by committing willful, repeat or failure-toabate violations,â&#x20AC;? according to OSHA.

State to cut jobs at KNI, Larned hospital TOPEKA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; More than 50 jobs will be eliminated at state hospitals in Topeka and Larned in an effort to save up to $3 million, Kansas officials said Tuesday.

The Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services said it would eliminate 35 jobs at the Kansas Neurological Institute in Topeka and about two dozen jobs at Larned State Hospital. Most of the job reductions would come from resignations or retirements, the Topeka Capital-Journal reported. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are undertaking these changes in order

havioral health resources to the people of Kansas, most specifically, our patients,â&#x20AC;? said KDADS Secretary Shawn Sullivan.

Under a proposal to be presented to the Legislature, the savings would be used for employee raises, hiring at least three more psychiatrists and covering reductions in federal aid.

The changes were suggested in a consultantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report that also recommended an expansion of the direct-care nursing staff pool to reduce problems with excessive overtime costs at Larned.

Deadline extended to pay for insurance WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Consumers anxious over tight insurance deadlines and lingering computer problems during the holidays will get extra time to pay their premiums under President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health care law, insurers announced Wednesday.

The board of the industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest trade group â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Health Insurance Plans â&#x20AC;&#x201D; said consumers who select a plan by Dec. 23 will now have until Jan. 10 to pay their first monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premium. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10 extra days beyond a New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eve deadline set by the government.

The voluntary move comes as insurers and the government try to head off anticipated problems around the first of the year, when new coverage options for the uninsured take effect under Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s law, and when several million people whose existing poli-

political trouble for the president if consumers who made a good-faith effort to get covered through the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s balky website show up at the pharmacy and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get prescriptions filled, or if they turn up in the emergency room and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no record that they are enrolled.

3 states targeted to restrict union fees JEFFERSON CITY, MO. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Buoyed by recent successes in the Midwest, conservatives and business groups are targeting at least three additional states for new efforts that could weaken labor unions by ending their ability to collect mandatory bargaining fees.

The latest efforts are focused on Missouri, Ohio and Oregon and â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in a new twist â&#x20AC;&#x201D; could put the issue before voters in 2014 instead of relying on potentially reluctant governors to enact laws passed by state legislators.

The strategy of appealing to voters could avoid a redo of the massive unionled protests that clogged some Midwestern capitols where Republicans recently enacted other anti-labor proposals. It also could result in a multimillion-dollar advertising battle between businesses and labor unions waged on several fronts at the same time.

With the addition of Indiana and Michigan in 2012, there now are 24 states with right-to-work laws that prohibit making union fees a condition of employment.

Pristine view in Alps

MATHIEU DECHAVANNE, LEFT, STANDS IN A GLASS CAGE named â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Pas dans le Videâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (Step into the Void) at the top of the Aiguille du Midi peak (12,604 feet), in the French Alps on Tuesday. Dechavanne is head of the Compagnie du Mont Blanc, which runs the new attraction. Visitors can enjoy the view of Mont Blanc, Europeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest mountain, from the platform.

The attraction opens Saturday.

U.S. attorney: Indian diplomat was treated well in arrest, search NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A federal prosecutor ventured into the tense relationship between the U.S. and India on Wednesday, defending the arrest and strip-search of an Indian diplomat held on visa charges and saying she was treated very well, even given coffee and offered food while detained.

U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara, who made the highly unusual move of issuing a lengthy statement addressing the arrest and issues not in a criminal complaint, said diplomat Devyani Khobragade was afford courtesies most Americans wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get â&#x20AC;&#x201D; such as being allowed to make phone calls for two hours to arrange child

care and sort out personal matters â&#x20AC;&#x201D; after she was discretely arrested by U.S. Department of State agents outside her childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Manhattan school.

Khobragade was arrested last week on charges she lied on a visa application about how much she paid her housekeeper, an Indian national. Prosecutors say the maid received less than $3 per hour for her work.

Bharara said Khobragade, who has pleaded not guilty, wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t handcuffed, restrained or arrested in front of her children. And he said that while she was â&#x20AC;&#x153;fully searchedâ&#x20AC;? in private by a female deputy marshal, the move was a stan-

dard safety practice all defendants undergo.

Khobragade has been transferred to Indiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission to the United Nations, according to her lawyer and a former colleague. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unclear how such a move might affect her immunity from prosecution, and a U.N. spokesman said it hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t received a necessary transfer request from her Wednesday evening.

News that Khobragade was strip-searched has chilled U.S.-Indian relations, and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry called a top Indian official to express his regret over what happened. India has revoked privileges for U.S. diplomats in protest.

TOKYO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Tokyo governor who helped his city secure the 2020 Olympics is resigning after revelations that he received $480,200 from a hospital company.

Gov. Naoki Inose had come under growing pressure to step down. Japanese ruling party leaders said the continuing scandal could affect preparations for the summer games.

Inose announced his resignation at a news conference broadcast live Thursday morning on Japanese television. He apologized to the people of Tokyo and said he shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be delaying government operations or stalling preparations for the Olympics. He told reporters he decided â&#x20AC;&#x153;the only solution is for me to step down as governor.â&#x20AC;?

Inose says the money he received in November 2012 from Tokushukai company was a personal loan. The Tokyo assembly has set up a committee to investigate.

Travel advisory for St. Martin KINGSTON, JAMAICA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; U.S. health authorities have issued a travel advisory for the French Caribbean dependency of St. Martin because of a mosquito-borne viral disease that is apparently being spread locally.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Wednesday it is closely following reports of the chikungunya virus among residents of the French side of a tiny island in the northeast Caribbean. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first time the disease typically found in Africa and Asia has been reported in the Western Hemisphere among people who have not traveled recently, suggesting that the virus is now being carried by infected island mosquitoes.

The CDC is advising U.S. travelers returning from the Caribbean to seek out medical care if they experience chikungunya symptoms.

Senator chosen as China ambassador WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; President Barack Obama intends to nominate Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., as ambassador to China, Democratic officials said Wednesday, turning to a lawmaker wellversed in trade issues to fill one of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most sensitive diplomatic posts.

If confirmed by the Senate, Baucus would replace Ambassador Gary Locke, who announced last month he was stepping down.

The Montananâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s departure from the Senate would have an instant impact on one of Congressâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; most powerful committees and on the 2014 election for control of Congress.

Egyptâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Morsi to face new trial CAIRO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Egyptian prosecutors on Wednesday announced a new trial of ousted President Mohammed Morsi and the top leaders of his Muslim Brotherhood, accusing them of conspiring with Hamas, Hezbollah, Iranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Revolutionary Guard and militant groups to carry out a wave of terrorism to destabilize the country.

The charges, which carry a potential death penalty, are the most sweeping and heaviest accusations yet in a series of trials against the Brotherhood. The new trial of Morsi, the three top Brotherhood leaders and 32

the group that dominated Egyptâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s political scene during Morsiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one-year presidency.

Russian approves amnesty law MOSCOW â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Russiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parliament on Wednesday approved an amnesty law that could allow two jailed members of the punk music group Pussy Riot to go free and pardon 30 people facing charges over a Greenpeace protest of Arctic oil drilling.

But human rights activists complained that the bill unanimously approved by the State Duma, or lower house, is too narrow and will free only 2,000 to 5,000 inmates when it takes effect this week.

The amnesty was seen as an attempt to deflect criticism of Russiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s human rights record ahead of the Olympic Winter Games, which will take place in the Black Sea resort of Sochi.

Officials: 500 killed in South Sudan JUBA, SOUTH SUDAN â&#x20AC;&#x201D; At least 500 people, most of them soldiers, have been killed in South Sudan since Sunday, a senior government official said, as an ethnic rivalry threatened to tear apart the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest country.

The clashes apparently are pitting soldiers from the majority Dinka tribe of President Salva Kiir against those from ousted Vice President Riek Macharâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nuer ethnic group, raising concerns the violence could degenerate into a civil war.

Fighting spread on Wednesday to Jonglei, the largest state in South Sudan, where troops loyal to Machar were said to be trying to take control of Bor, the state capital.

City salaries The big raises planned for Lawrence city commissioners are out of line.

W

hen Lawrence city commissioners decide to do something about commission salaries, they don’t mess around.

On Tuesday, commissioners directed city staff to draw up an ordinance that would more than double city commissioners’ pay after the April 2015 election.

Currently commissioners are paid $9,000 a year, and the mayor receives $10,000 a year. The new pay rate would be $20,000 for commissioners and $25,000 a year for the mayor.

Several justifications have been offered for the raises. Commissioners say they have to take significant time away from their jobs or businesses to conduct city business and they should be compensated for the loss of revenue that may result from that absence. Higher salaries also are needed, they say, to ensure that people from all socio-economic groups in the city feel able to seek a seat on the commission.

And, finally, they point to the fact that the commission hasn’t received a raise since 1999, nearly 15 years ago.

All of these arguments are understandable — to a point. However, adding $55,000 in commission salaries to the city budget in one fell swoop is extreme. Commissioners should — and already do — receive reimbursement for city-related travel expenses. They also can participate in the KPERS retirement plan and the city’s health insurance plan.

However, being a commissioner isn’t designed to a full-time job and commissioners shouldn’t expect their elected posts to replace their primary employment or salaries.

Even though Lawrence city commissioners hadn’t received a raise in 15 years, their salaries were not out of line with those in a number of other communities included in a survey cited in Tuesday’s commission agenda. Lawrence commissioners already make more than commissioners in Emporia, Salina, Lenexa, Manhattan, Olathe and Hutchinson (which pays its mayor and council nothing). Topeka pays its council members $10,000 a year and its mayor $20,000, but it has a strong-mayor form of government that gives that office significant added responsibility. Overland Park, which is more than twice the size of Lawrence, pays its council members $12,000 and its mayor $24,000.

Based on those comparisons, it’s hard to justify the large raises commissioners plan to approve. They obviously think the raises are overdue, but it still makes sense for them to seek more moderate, and perhaps more frequent, raises — if they think they are justified.

The commission didn’t take up the salary issue until after 11 p.m. Tuesday, but a couple of members of the public stuck around to voice their support of the raises. No one spoke against the raises, but the ordinance isn’t scheduled to come back to the commission for approval until next month so there’s still time for Lawrence residents to express their opinion. We want our elected commissioners to receive adequate compensation, but the salaries they have tentatively approved are out of line.

Hard-liners in Iran oppose deal TEHRAN — Hossein Shariatmadari’s business card identifies him as the “Supreme Leader’s Representative” at Kayhan, Iran’s leading conservative newspaper. Listening to his unwavering advocacy of Iran’s revolutionary politics, you realize just how hard it will be to reach the nuclear agreement that many Iranians I talked with here seem to want.

Shariatmadari says frankly that he doesn’t believe in compromise with the West.

“The identity of both sides is involved in this conflict,” says the stern editor. “It didn’t ‘just happen.’ It is structural.

The problem will be solved when one side gives up its identity, only then.”

The Kayhan editor is using his powerful voice to resist the deal being negotiated by President Hassan Rouhani and Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif. He says bluntly that he doesn’t think Iran should have signed the six-month freeze negotiated last month in Geneva, and argues that Zarif misled Rouhani and Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei when he said the deal guaranteed Iran’s right to enrichment of uranium. “This gentleman [Zarif] did not tell the truth,” he asserts.

Can hard-liners such as Shariatmadari and the leaders of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps block a deal?

An Iranian banker may have been right when he told me that “Zarif has the backing of

David Ignatius davidignatius@washpost.com

“

Can hard-liners such as Shariatmadari and the leaders of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps block a deal?”

90 percent of the people” to negotiate an agreement that removes economic sanctions and eases Iran’s isolation. But the vanguard represented by Shariatmadari and the Revolutionary Guard may hold the commanding heights.

The power of the Revolutionary Guard is a crucial variable. Rouhani told me in an interview in New York this past September that he thinks security organizations such as the IRGC should have less power in Iran, and he made that argument to Iranians in June’s presidential election. But when I asked Shariatmadari about Rouhani’s critique, he dismissed it as “election propaganda.”

Tehran this week seemed a country caught somewhere between Pyongyang and Los Angeles. It’s a sprawling city with sophisticated, outgoing

people. The slogans of the 1979 Islamic revolution are fading on the walls, literally.

But the radical roots of the regime are still intact. And Shariatmadari speaks for the vanguard that has internalized the message of a massive mural on Karim Khan Zand Boulevard, near his office, that shows founder Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini with the words: “We will never put down the flag you raised.”

A visit here makes clear that in the nuclear negotiations, Iran is facing, as Shariatmadari says, an internal struggle over its identity.

That’s evident in the public sniping between Zarif and his critics, including the Revolutionary Guard chief, Gen. Mohammad Ali Jafari.

The Iranian leadership may be allowing this debate to heighten its leverage in negotiations — to encourage concessions to sympathetic moderates who are battling hard-liners. But it’s not just for show: You can feel the underlying tension in ordinary conversation.

The public’s support for Rouhani stems in part from national fatigue after eight years of inflammatory former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. He seemed to delight in shocking the West with his anti-Israel diatribes, but for many Iranians he was an embarrassment. A halfdozen people I talked to here said the Ahmadinejad years are remembered for bad economic policies and cor-

rupt favoritism for the power elite.

The public gave Rouhani a 51 percent majority in a sixcandidate field, and if he ran again, he would do far better, argues Saeed Laylaz, a prominent economic journalist, in an interview at his apartment in northwest Tehran. “We support him unconditionally,” he says, but there’s no polling data that confirm that support. As for the supreme leader, Laylaz expresses a view I also heard from others that “Khamenei is behind Rouhani because otherwise the system will collapse.”

The public yearning to escape the drabness of the Islamic republic is evident in small things. One Iranian tells me about the new fad of traveling to Sulaymaniyah in Iraqi Kurdistan, and paying $100 a ticket, to hear pop-music stars who can’t come to Iran.

There’s also a boom in lowcost travel to less restrictive societies. Dubai and Istanbul, which used to be favorites, have gotten so expensive that Iranians out for a good time are turning to cheap flights to Yerevan in Armenia and Tbilisi in Georgia.

Shariatmadari thinks these Western temptations are poisonous. He’s suspicious even of President Obama’s phone call to Rouhani in September, which he saw as an attempt to demean Iran. I ask if Rouhani should have hung up.

“We believe in politeness,” he says with a rare smile.

OLD HOME TOWN From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Dec. 19, 1913: YEARS “The affairs of AGO Charles Bowman, IN 1913 alias Prof. F. Lynn, came to a sudden termination late yesterday afternoon and the clairvoyant took an equally hasty departure from the city. Perhaps something in the cards warned the Professor, or it may have been a message from the spirit world with which he was in direct communication that advised him, or it may simply have been an attorney who was somewhat gifted in the art of solving the future…”

Modern culture devalues life During the Christmas season when many celebrate a unique and miraculous birth, what the late Pope John Paul II called “a culture of death” continues its march.

Last week, the upper house of the Belgian Senate voted to extend a 2002 law legalizing euthanasia for adults so that it includes incurably ill children. The amended law will now have to be voted on by the Parliament’s lower house, a vote expected to take place before elections in May, but if passed, writes The New York Times, children afflicted with “constant and unbearable physical suffering” and “equipped with a capacity for discernment” could then be legally euthanized in Belgium.

Reports The Times, “Els Van Hoof, a Christian Democrat from Belgium’s Dutchspeaking community, argued that paying more attention to relieving the pain of patients instead of allowing doctors to legally kill them would ‘allow both old and young to die with dignity.’ A 10-yearold, she said, is not in a position to make a life-or-death decision ‘in an autonomous manner’ and will invariably be vulnerable to pressure.”

If the bill becomes law, Belgium would be the first European nation to allow the euthanasia of terminally ill children. In The Netherlands, where euthanasia has

“

If everyone who has even momentarily felt tired of living were subject to euthanasia, Earth might soon resemble a ghost planet.”

been legal since 2002 when the “Termination of Life on Request and Assisted Suicide Act” took effect, a recent poll published in the Journal of Medical Ethics found that of 2,000 Dutch people polled, 21 percent believe euthanasia should be allowed for those who are suffering from no illnesses, but who are simply “tired of living.”

If everyone who has even momentarily felt tired of living were subject to euthanasia, Earth might soon resemble a ghost planet.

Europe, which has become more secular in recent years, could be a bellwether down the road for the United States if Obamacare survives its many dysfunctions and the

Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB), charged with controlling health care costs. Based on this system, could the IPAB one day determine who gets treatment and who doesn’t based on actuarial tables and cost projections? Could there come a time when it could conceivably decide how much a human life is worth?

Absent a standard for life’s value, the state could get to decide based on its interests.

In the extreme we get Stalin’s Russia with its forced famine, gulags and executions; Mao’s China and the cultural revolution; Germany’s Third Reich and its “Final Solution” and slavery in America with its Three-Fifths Compromise, which, for representation purposes, determined that slaves would be counted not as full human beings, but as “threefifths of all other Persons.”

The Articles of Confederation were written a decade after Thomas Jefferson declared: “all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights.” It would be nearly a century later before the Civil War led to the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed the slaves, and another century before civil rights legislation recognized those “endowed” rights.

The distinction is important. The federal government did not grant rights to

African Americans. It recognized rights endowed by their Creator. It is when nations depart from this noble creed that we get abortion on demand, infanticide for the “defective” and “unwanted,” and now euthanasia. Removing protection at one end of life inevitably threatens all life at every stage.

It is more than ironic that a group known as the Nonhuman Rights Project has made its mission to “...change the common law status of at least some nonhuman animals from mere ‘things,’ which lack the capacity to possess any legal right, to ‘persons,’ who possess such fundamental rights as bodily integrity and bodily liberty...” Bodily liberty? Based on what?

Three New York courts have so far rejected the NRP’s efforts, but give it time. Society may soon devolve even further than it has already.

This is the problem when humanity does not accept an Authority higher than itself, an Authority that holds life, all life, however inconvenient, however tiresome, infinitely valuable. But if we consider ourselves nothing more than evolutionary accidents in an impersonal universe, then we are all potentially vulnerable, depending on the value assigned to us by the state.

Kansas football signs trio of jucos

CITY BASKETBALL SHOWDOWN

The other guys

——

O-lineman, safety, DB join Jayhawks

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

While it paled in comparison to last year’s nine-man mid-year haul, Wednesday proved to be a productive day for the recruiting efforts of the Kansas University football program, which welcomed three players to the roster on the initial day of the mid-year junior-college signing period.

Defensive back Ronnie Davis, offensive lineman Keyon Haughton and signing-day-surprise Anthony Smithson, a safety from Hartnell Community College in Salinas, Calif., each signed and faxed his letter of intent to the football office by day’s end.

For all three future Jayhawks, signing day proved to be a special experience.

Davis, who joined the Jayhawks after two seasons at Northeastern Oklahoma A&M, signed his letter in the library of his high school — Midwest City (Okla.) High — with his mother, grandmother, siblings and a handful of other supporters present.

“It was exciting more than anything because I feel like I’ve worked so long just to be able to sign my name on a Div. I letter,” Davis said. “I felt good and I had my family and my coaches there with me. It was a great feeling.”

Davis, who can play both cornerback and safety, said he prefers to play the nickelback role because it keeps him in the middle of the field, “where the action is,” and also allows him to utilize a variety of skills, from coverage and blitzing to supporting the run.

Davis, 6 feet, 170 pounds, chose Kansas after originally being committed to Utah State just a few weeks ago. He said he drew interest from Oklahoma during his high school career and heard from the Sooners early in the 2013 season at NEO but nothing materialized from there.

“That was kind of a driving factor for me,” Davis said. “I was right here and (Oklahoma and Oklahoma State) didn’t want to come get me, so I want to go to Kansas and show ‘em what I can do.”

Haughton, 6 feet, 295 pounds from Georgia Military College, was the first to send his letter of intent to Lawrence. He signed at his home in Baltimore at 6 a.m. and sent the letter to the KU football complex immediately.

LAWRENCE HIGH BOYS BASKETBALL’S ROLE PLAYERS, CLOCKWISE FROM BOTTOM LEFT, junior Ben Rajewski, senior Connor Henrichs, junior John Barbee, sophomore Fred Brou, sophomore Price Morgan and senior Anthony Riley say they’re ready to step up whenever they’re needed in support of the Lions’ two stars, Anthony Bonner and Justin Roberts.

Lions’ role players ready to pounce

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

The role players on Lawrence High’s boys basketball team don’t take it personally.

They know when opposing coaches and players huddle up and game-plan before facing the Lions, the two names that will come up first, last and, most often, in between are Anthony Bonner and Justin Roberts.

Being perceived as afterthoughts is just fine with LHS senior guards Connor Henrichs and Anthony Riley, junior guards Ben Rajewski and John Barbee, and sophomore forwards Price Morgan and Fred Brou. While opponents are worried about scheming some way to stop the one-two punch of junior guard Bonner and sophomore point Roberts, Lawrence’s role players

CITY SHOWDOWN Who: Free State vs. Lawrence High When: 5:30 p.m. (girls), 7 p.m. (boys), Friday Where: Lawrence High

will be waiting for their moment to pounce.

“They don’t really know much about us,” backup LHS guard Riley said, smiling. “We just come in and do what we do best.”

Their role on offense is to feast when the defense collapses, scrambling to cut off Roberts or Bonner. Morgan and Brou can finish inside and Henrichs, Barbee, Riley and Rajewski can spot up and wait for open jumpers.

Barbee, a starter, said they have embraced their supporting roles and appreciate the ease with which they are able to operate when the team’s top guns are creating havoc.

That allows the rest of the Lions to play pressure-free basketball.

“When a team focuses on them, that gives us opportunities to score, and if they start pressuring us we’ll give the ball back to them,” Barbee said. “They’re playmakers, so they can create whenever they want to.”

Coach Mike Lewis likes the offensive flow Lawrence (3-1, ranked No. 6 in Class 6A) has established. The ball doesn’t stick in the hands of one of the team’s lead guards. Fast breaks and half-court sets

So many factors could have turned Tristan Garber into a voice in the wilderness on the top row of the bleachers Friday night in The Jungle, where Free State High’s boys basketball team visits Lawrence High in the nightcap of a doubleheader kicked off with the girls game at 5:30 p.m.

He could have watched the city rivalry game, as he has Garber twice a year every year for as long as he can remember, and he could have griped that he’s better than half the players competing. Hubris, impatience, hurt feelings and any number of other negative forces that threaten to derail teenagers could have kept Garber from playing in the city rivalry he always has dreamed about making his own for a night by hitting the game-winning shot.

Those potential poisons didn’t stand a chance against Garber’s toughness and his passion for a game he calls his favorite sport.

Before this season, he played on the freshman team, then the sophomore team, then the junior varsity, getting left behind by bigger names and frames in a Free State Class of ‘14 packed with talented athletes. His friends beat him to varsity, but that didn’t send Garber into the stands. It sent him to the gym to work harder and to the weight room Please see KEEGAN, page 3B

Tharpe steps up as leader since demotion

KANSAS UNIVERSITY POINT GUARD NAADIR THARPE GETS AN EARFUL from head coach Bill Self during the second half against New Mexico on Saturday at Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo.

Kansas University junior Naadir Tharpe knows why he was stripped of his starting point guard duties during recent nonconference basketball losses at Colorado and Florida.

“I wasn’t doing anything to really help out the team, help out the guys,” Tharpe said after dishing nine assists and scoring eight points while regaining his starting spot and playing 37 minutes in Saturday’s 80-63 victory over New Mexico in Sprint Center.

“The team we have ... the guys stuck with me, coach stuck with me. Like I’ve said

before, it’s all about confidence,” added Tharpe, who followed a 10-assist, one turnover outing against Iona on Nov. 19 with 15 assists against eight TOs the next four contests.

His so-so effort in those games, which included 8-for26 shooting, led to coach Bill Self starting freshman Frank Mason on the two-game road trip.

“That’s how it’s supposed to be,” Tharpe said of his being disciplined by his coach. “He’s not around the dudes as much besides at practice. I have to make sure I’m the second voice out there. The games we were losing ... I put a lot of that on me.”

Self, who after the UNM game expressed how much he’d been “disappointed in him, not in his play as much, but his ownership and how he’s helping the other guys,” indicated Tharpe took a major step in the right direction Saturday.

“Naa had a really good game,” Self said. “He had a couple bonehead plays the second half, but for the most part played really well. We didn’t try to hit home runs.

We were hitting a bunch of singles, making easy plays.

We played through our bigs.

It was kind of how we want to play.”

The Jayhawk players, who have nothing against backup point guard Mason (one as-

sist, no turnovers, six minutes against UNM), nonetheless seem to relish having an experienced player like Tharpe around.

“Naadir is a good leader,” said freshman big man Joel Embiid, who had 17 points the second half against New Mexico as KU expanded on a narrow one-point halftime lead. “He’s always talking, telling us what to do. He gave us great energy for the second half and we were playing better.”

“He distributed the ball well and led us,” said sophomore forward Perry Ellis, who had 21 points, 13 the final half. “That’s what a point Please see KU HOOPS, page 3B

The stars are easy enough to keep track of, especially when they go down on national television with everyone watching.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what happened with tough guy Rob Gronkowski, last seen lying almost immobile on the ground and screaming in pain after taking a big hit that ended his already abbreviated season. The bruising â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and often bruised â&#x20AC;&#x201D; New England tight end is only 24, but the surgery for his torn ACL is his sixth in little more than a year and every one of them exacts some sort of toll.

And then there was Wes Welker, streaking fearlessly across the middle only to be leveled with a shot to the shoulders and head for his second concussion in four games. Why the Denver receiver would ever set foot on the field again is a mystery when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re learning more about the cumulative effects from getting hit in the head, but you can bet he will.

The season also is over in Washington for Robert Griffin III, though heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still mobile even after being sacked 24 times in his last five games. The Redskins are so worried their franchise quarterback will be hurt again that he was benched with three games remaining in the season rather than take the risk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If he did play, and something happened to him, I think it would set our franchise back,â&#x20AC;? embattled Redskins coach Mike Shanahan said.

Unfortunately, not as much precautionary care is taken with players who arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stars.

Far too often they play through injuries because if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play they might soon find themselves out of a job. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fact of life in a league where contracts arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t guaranteed and there are no guarantees the next play could be your last.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no secret football is a brutal game. Tough men play it, and sometimes they pay the price. The big hits their bodies endure are part of the very fabric of the game, and a big reason why the NFL is far and away the most popular sports league in the country.

But of all the stats in a typically violent NFL season, there are a few that should give anyone who pays the game some pause. Injuries are once again piling up at a disturbing rate, even in a league where injury reports are often long.

A tally of the NFL injury list before Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s games showed a startling 254 players â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an average of about eight per team â&#x20AC;&#x201D; out for the season with injuries ranging from busted ribs to foggy heads. Another 131 players were either out for last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s games or listed as doubtful or questionable to play.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 385 players with significant injuries out of about 2,000 who will play in the NFL this season. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a weekly snapshot in a league where making it through the season without injury is almost as rare as being fitted for a Super Bowl ring.

Worse yet, concussions continue to take a heavy toll among players, highlighting a problem the NFL canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to get under control even as it prepares to pay out hundreds of millions of dollars to former players devastated from the effects of head hits during their playing years.

That the NFL, after years of denials, finally admitted concussions are a serious issue and set up protocols to deal with them is commendable, though terribly late. The culture of covering up the effects of blows to the head is changing, though it will never change enough for those who feel forced to play no matter how much their head hurts to keep their jobs.

Still, as the injury numbers continue to add up, we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but be reminded about what a terrible toll it is.

WORKERS REMOVE SNOW FROM PARKING LOTS Wednesday at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.Y.

NFL officials prepare for Super Bowl weather EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Standing amid giant piles of snow in the shadow of MetLife Stadium, Super Bowl organizers said Wednesday that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re prepared to deploy thousands of trucks and tons of salt to prevent snowy weather from interfering with the biggest football game of the year.

Officials held the news conference to assure the public that snow or ice will not hinder the game on Feb. 2, when it will debut as the first outdoor, cold-weather Super Bowl in NFL history.

The stadium has several snow melters on hand that can clear the fields quickly, including one machine that can melt up to 600 tons of snow per hour, said the stadiumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CEO, Brad Mayne. Removable snow chutes can funnel snow out of the seating and concourse areas, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As you can imagine, Mother Nature and her storms come in many different varieties,â&#x20AC;? Mayne said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And so we have to be flexible in how we address each and every storm.â&#x20AC;?

Mayne pointed to the most recent storm to hit the region last week, which dropped 6.3 inches of snow and ice on the stadium just hours before the New York Giants played host to the Seattle Seahawks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even though the storm ended just hours prior to kickoff, our experienced crew were able to have the stadium ready,â&#x20AC;? Mayne said.

The stadium plans to have up to 1,600 workers on standby for the Super Bowl, which is double the typical amount of personnel used in most storms.

Officials said they would only consider rescheduling the game in extreme circumstances. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is our objective to kick off the ball at 6:30 p.m. on Feb. 2,â&#x20AC;? said Frank Supovitz, Senior Vice President of Events for the NFL. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to expend every effort ... to make sure that that gets done.â&#x20AC;?

Transportation experts say a snowy football field isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the issue â&#x20AC;&#x201D; after all, many NFL games have previously been played in the snow. But the players might be throwing passes in an empty stadium if the fans canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it there during a blizzard.

Filling MetLife Stadium on Super Bowl Sunday hinges open the reliability of New Jerseyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rails and roads to funnel fans to the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll play the game,â&#x20AC;? said Mitchell Moss, director of the Rudin Center for Transportation at New York University. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The question is, they may have to hire mannequins to fill the stadium.â&#x20AC;?

Seahawksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Browner suspended RENTON, WASH. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Seattle Seahawks cornerback Brandon Browner was suspended indefinitely by the NFL on Wednesday for violating the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s substance abuse policy after losing his appeal.

The suspension is the second in two seasons for Browner. He was suspended four games last season for violating the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s policy on performance-enhancing substances. He is the second Seahawks player to be suspended for violating the substance abuse policy this season.

Fellow cornerback Walter Thurmond is serving the final week of a four-game suspension.

Browner, who was injured in Week 10 against Atlanta and hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t played since, filed an appeal of the suspension while injured and the Seahawks were waiting for an answer from the league.

Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s send Valencia to Royals BALTIMORE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Orioles have obtained outfielder David Lough from the Kansas City Royals for infielder Danny Valencia.

As a rookie this year, the 27-year-old Lough batted .286 with five homers and 33 RBIs in 96 games. He played all three outfield positions.

He was originally selected by the Royals in the 11th round of the 2007 amateur draft. He made his major-league debut in 2012, playing 20 games and batting .237.

Valencia hit .304 in 170 plate appearances for Baltimore. He bounced between the big-league team and the minor leagues for much of the season. Valenciaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s .553 slugging percentage was the fifth-highest in the AL among players with at least 150 at-bats. He batted .371 with 14 doubles and four homers against left-handers.

Marlins, McGehee agree MIAMI â&#x20AC;&#x201D; With the addition of third baseman Casey McGehee, the Miami Marlins have replaced half of their punchless 2013 lineup.

McGehee, a five-year major league veteran who played in Japan last season, agreed to a $1.1 million, one-year contract Wednesday. Miami earlier acquired catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia, first baseman Garrett Jones and second baseman Rafael Furcal.

KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jarmoc repeat All-American KU hoops CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

J-W Staff Reports

Kansas University senior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc became the first Jayhawk to earn back-to-back All-America honors when the American Volleyball Coaches Association named her to its third team on Wednesday.

Jarmoc, KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first AllAmerican last year and the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all-time block leader, was joined by senior setter Erin McNorton, junior right-side hitter Chelsea Albers and junior outside hitter Sara McClinton, who earned honorable mention AVCA All-America honors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is fantastic news that so many Jayhawks are

BRIEFLY

being recognized because of what it says about this program,â&#x20AC;? KU coach Ray Bechard said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of hard work from an entire team can be seen in those four awards. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve talked about moving this program from successful to significant and these four have been a big part of that.â&#x20AC;?

The 2013 Jayhawks went 25-8 overall and 12-4 in the Big 12 conference, finishing second in the league standings. KU made it to the NCAA Tournament for the second year in a row and earned a trip to the regional round of 16.

Lewis said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;partly because we know these guys from the last couple years.

This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t brand new to us.â&#x20AC;?

All eight players in the LHS rotation have developed a trust for one another, and that starts with the leaders. Riley said Bonner and Roberts are team-first guys, and they support every guy on the roster in every situation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If a three-point shooter doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t knock down a

shot and they get down on themselves,â&#x20AC;? Riley shared, â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Roberts and Bonner) just pick them up immediately. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just one shot. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the end of the world.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; They just keep pushing you to try harder.â&#x20AC;?

Plus, Barbee said the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s go-to players on the floor show leadership off the court, too. They make sure teammates are arriving to class on time and getting homework done. They help foster the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chemistry by keeping things loose, as well.

The ninth or tenth player on the depth chart can dish out a joke at the expense of one of the Lionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; starters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone just gets on each other for any reason at all,â&#x20AC;? Barbee said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun to have that kind of connection with each other.â&#x20AC;?

The Lions hope to create even more merriment at The Jungle Friday night, when they play host to rival Free State (3-1, No. 5 in 6A). Riley said he and the other players that opposing teams donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talk about all have a part to play: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Come in and hit open shots.â&#x20AC;?

Between intangibles, execution and players understanding their time to shine could come at any moment, Lewis is pleased with his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s progress. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would love to have a night where everybody scores 10 points, and we score 80 and we move out with the win,â&#x20AC;? the coach said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope we can continue on that path.â&#x20AC;?

You they put their hands too can be little. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

Firebirds coach Chuck Law and his players all seem very happy they have Garber on their side. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a great kid, brings a great attitude,â&#x20AC;?

Law said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great teammate. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a teamchemistry guy in addition to having some nice skills to play the game, which I hope we can get on display more frequently.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do anything for this team and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what matters most. He just wants to be successful as a team and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such a great player to have be a part of this.â&#x20AC;?

Free State will need a big game from Garber and others to compete against a Lions squad led by one of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top backcourts in sophomore Justin Roberts and junior Anthony Bonner, both of whom Garber counts as good friends. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great basketball player and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very quick,â&#x20AC;? Garber said of Roberts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal is to put as much pressure on him as possible, make him dish it out. He and Anthony are great scorers. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been friends with Anthony for a long time and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played with him since I was little. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

improved a lot. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awesome to watch. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be something special.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m rooting for him.â&#x20AC;?

He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean Friday, of course, but in general.

If it comes down to a final shot, Bonner and Roberts would be the first names that would come to mind as most likely to hit the game-winner.

But even Michael Jordan didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hit them all. John Paxson and Steve Kerr had their moments too.

Garber hit a big threepointer in the fourth quarter of a game Free State would lose to Lansing in overtime last weekend.

Maybe, just maybe, if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a close game, Garber will hit the game-winner.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been there, done that. Two years ago, his three-pointer with a few seconds left gave the Firebirds a one-point victory at Shawnee Mission East for a sophomore team that went undefeated. Per usual, his mom, grandpa and grandma were on hand, beaming with pride. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was a fun game,â&#x20AC;?

Garber remembered with a smile.

It was one of many steps that put him on the path to play in another fun game, one witnessed by a much bigger audience Friday.

LHS wrestling loses road dual GARDNER â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Lawrence Highâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wrestling team lost a road dual, 61-12, Wednesday night at Gardner-Edgerton.

Isaias Rojo, Garrett Girard and Alex Jones won their matches for the Lions, who left two weight classes open and competed without Alan Clothier, who was injured. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a lot of young guys in the lineup tonight,â&#x20AC;?

LHS coach Pat Naughton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They fought hard, and just need to have more mat time. We are looking forward to the new year and a fresh start to our season.â&#x20AC;?

Haughton, who picked Kansas over Florida A&M, South Alabama, Southern Miss and others, said his versatility played a key role in his recruiting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It helped me work my footwork better and helped me get noticed,â&#x20AC;? he said.

While Davis and Haughton were expected to make their commitments official on Wednesday, the Smithson signing came as a bit of a surprise.

Smithson, a 6-foot, 180-pound strong safety who has three years of

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

I felt the energy from their coaching staff and how excited they were.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Strong safety Anthony Smithson on choosing Kansas eligibility remaining and four years to use them, chose Kansas over Oregon State, Utah and Wisconsin. Smithson seemed Utah-bound for much of the recruiting period but a recent change in the Utesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; coaching staff led Smithson away from the school where his older brother played and onto the roster at Kansas.

The three-star prospect finished the 2013 season with 75 tackles and eight interceptions.

He has not yet visited KU but told Jon Kirby of JayhawkSlant.com that the reputation of the KU coaching staff and his interaction with them over the phone left no doubt in

his mind that Kansas was a good fit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt the energy from their coaching staff and how excited they were,â&#x20AC;? Smithson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I talked to my junior college coaches about it they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate when I said Kansas.â&#x20AC;?

All three players are expected to report to campus in the Jan. 17-19 range and participate in spring practices.

Counting Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trio of signees, KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2014 recruiting class now includes 13 players â&#x20AC;&#x201D; five juco commitments and eight high school prospects.

The Jayhawks figure to have room for nearly twice that many by the time national signing day rolls around on Feb. 5, when all non midyear transfers in the class are eligible to make their commitments official.

Juco players on pace to graduate this month and report to Div. I campuses early have until Jan. 15 to sign their letters of intent.

guard is supposed to do.

He led us to the win.â&#x20AC;?

Tharpe knows how to break opponentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; zone defenses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to get the ball to the middle,â&#x20AC;? Tharpe said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;to get it to Jo Jo and Perry because they are some of our best big passers and Jamari (Traylor) as well. (In) the last couple of games we lost, the teams played the majority (of game) zone. We had to make sure in practice we worked on the zone and were able to be aggressive.â&#x20AC;?

Tharpe believes he and his teammates are back on track heading into Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 11 a.m. home game against Georgetown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It boosts our morale, gives us energy, gives us confidence,â&#x20AC;? Tharpe said of the victory, which busted a slump that included three losses in four tries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Basketball is a game of confidence. Basketball is a game of runs. We were able to come back in Kansas City, our fans helping us out and playing like we did, it was a great win.â&#x20AC;?

KU on Saturday will be playing at home for the first time since a 88-58 win over Towson on Nov. 22. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been awhile,â&#x20AC;?

Tharpe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good we had those (road) games.

Everybody keeps saying we have a young team.

We are a young team, but to go on the road and play those games will only help us get better. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get any easier from here.

We have to make sure each and every game and practice we come out with the same mindset and be ready to attack and do the game plan.â&#x20AC;?

Things figure to go a lot smoother if Tharpe builds on his last game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He played well. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good player. He was one of our most improved players over the summer,â&#x20AC;? Self said on his Hawk Talk radio show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to get a lot better before we start talking about guys playing well. Everybody has a big step we could take to get to the point where we could play like a team that hopefully has a chance to compete for another league championship.â&#x20AC;?

O Hinson rant: Former KU director of basketball operations Barry Hinson, the head coach at Southern Illinois, tore into his team during a post-game rant to reporters after a loss to Murray State on Tuesday.

It is available online at http://bit.ly/1bRa2co.

Hinson referred to his players as â&#x20AC;&#x153;mamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boysâ&#x20AC;? after the 73-65 loss. He ripped guard Marcus Fillyaw for having a bad game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to fake who I am. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m an emotional guy and I love my players, but I was frustrated with their overall lack of effort.

I felt bad about mentioning one of my playerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s names.

That was a mistake,â&#x20AC;? Hinson told ESPN.com.

| 3B

Hinson also tweeted: â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was wrong of me to single out a specific player.

I apologized to Marcus and team. I stand by the rest of my comments. Go Dawgs!â&#x20AC;?

Mario Moccia, the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s athletic director supported Hinson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Barry cares about his players,â&#x20AC;? Moccia said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know this is not the season he wanted to have after 10 games (2-8). The losses have mounted, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s frustrated. I just wish he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t call out the players specifically and would have used more generalities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good man,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Moccia added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But he can have these Yosemite Sam bombastic outbursts.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; SIU senior forward Davante Drinkard responded to Hinson on Twitter: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe the little man had the nerve to call us mamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boys. Smh. I guess this is where Our team learns to point the finger.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has the right to do that. If I have the right as a coach to go into a press conference and talk about our team, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get upset at a player that wants to fire back on a tweet either,â&#x20AC;? Hinson told the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dan Patrick Showâ&#x20AC;? on DirecTV as reported

by ESPN. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Freedom of speech, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m all about that and I understand it.â&#x20AC;?

To watch Hinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s response at his Wednesday news conference, go online to http://bit.ly/19ziNrU. O Big game for Cliff: KU signee Cliff Alexander scored 35 points with 15 rebounds, six blocks and four steals in Chicago Curie Highâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 82-56 victory over Chicago King on Tuesday. KU assistant Jerrance Howard was in the stands for the game.

The 6-foot-9 center, who is ranked No. 4 nationally

by Rivals.com, refused to talk to reporters after the game, according to the Chicago Sun Times. He reportedly is upset about media reports detailing his two technical fouls against St. Rita. Alexander had 19 points for Curie (50) in the first half.

O White questionable: KU sophomore Andrew White III is questionable for Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game against Georgetown, coach Bill Self told the Journal-World on Wednesday. White has practiced on a limited basis this week after suffering a hip pointer at practice a week ago today.

O Scheduling: Self, who has said repeatedly he has no plans to play Wichita State, wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change his position with WSU coach Gregg Marshall continuing to speak publicly about wanting to play the Jayhawks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hey, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of people who would like to play us. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve not had a hard time getting a schedule. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll play people for what we feel is best for our program,â&#x20AC;? Self said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a knock on anybody else. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m more interested in our team. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not spending any energy thinking about scheduling right now.â&#x20AC;?

Texas holds off North Carolina The Associated Press

Texas 86, No. 14 North Carolina 83 CHAPEL HILL, N.C. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Texas coach Rick Barnes had told his players they would have to do something unexpected if they wanted to get more respect. The Longhorns figured out a way to do that Wednesday night with yet another win over North Carolina.

Demarcus Holland scored on a stickback of his own free throw with 4.1 seconds left to help Texas hold on and beat the 14th-ranked Tar Heels for its sixth straight win.

Holland finished with 15 points for the Longhorns (10-1), who survived a missed three-pointer from UNCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Marcus Paige on the final play.

Texas shot 38 percent after halftime and 40 percent for the game, but dominated the boards and scored 21 second-chance points to beat the Tar Heels (7-3) for the sixth time in seven meetings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I said weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to be taken serious until we do something that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not supposed to do,â&#x20AC;?

Barnes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I said youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a chance this week and it starts here. We prepared. ... Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re tough.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a tough group of guys.â&#x20AC;?

Texas was the aggressor from the start, building a double-digit lead and staying in control nearly all game. And when the Tar Heels made their late push, Hollandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stickback offered the perfect example of how this seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s group can overcome its mistakes.

With his team protecting an 84-83 lead, Holland missed his first free throw with 7.2 seconds left and knew his second was short as soon as it left his hand. He raced inside and grabbed the rebound in a crowd, then put up a shot that bounced around the rim before dropping through the net.

Paige got a good look on the final possession from in front of the UNC bench, but the shot rimmed out at the horn to seal Texasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fourth win by three or fewer points. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been grinding out games all year and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been finishing late,â&#x20AC;?

Holland said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;... Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a lot of preparation leading up to this game with situations like that.

It just shows how tough we are and how together we are and how weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still growing, how we can just stick together as a team in the end.â&#x20AC;?

Barnes suffered through a miserable 16-18 record last season, ending with a first-round loss in the CBI. But the Longhorns entered this one with five players averaging in double figures and continued their balanced-scoring ways.

Isaiah Taylor scored 16 points to lead Texas, while Jonathan Holmes had 15 points and 10 rebounds. In addition, Javan Felix scored 12 points â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including two key baskets in the final two minutes to answer a tying spurt from the Tar Heels despite going just 2 for 11 the rest of the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He always tells us to have the confidence to take shots,â&#x20AC;? Felix said of Barnes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I did.â&#x20AC;?

Paige scored 23 points to lead UNC, while senior Leslie McDonald scored 15 with four three-pointers in his first game after missing nine due to NCAA eligibility issues.

But in the end, the Tar Heels struggled to overcome a flat start as well as 23 missed free throws in what has become a recurring theme.

North Carolina, which had beaten highly ranked Michigan State, Kentucky and reigning national champion Louisville in the past month despite playing without McDonald and leading scorer P.J. Hairston due to those NCAA issues, trailed by 13 points and spent Wednesday fighting uphill in a performance that had coach Roy Williams seething. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am not happy, guys,â&#x20AC;?

Williams said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am not in the daggum Christmas spirit. ... If you want to really know how ticked off I am, I told them we would practice at midnight tonight. And then I told them I better check the NCAA rules so we cannot practice at midnight tonight. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We cannot practice until 5 a.m. And everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Stanford 53, No. 10 Connecticut 51 HARTFORD, CONN. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Chasson Randle scored 22 points, and Stanford handed UConn its first loss of the season.

Josh Huestis added 13 points and Dwight Powell had 10 points and 15 rebounds for Stanford (8-2), which overcame a 10-point halftime deficit in earning their first signature win of the season.

DeAndre Daniels had 15 points for UConn (9-1).

Randleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jump shot with 3 1/2 minutes left gave the Cardinal a 52-49 lead. The Huskies pulled within a point when Daniels tipped in a missed three-point attempt by Niels Giffey.

But Shabazz Napier missed three shots in the final 40 seconds with a chance to put the Huskies ahead. He passed up an opportunity on UConnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final possession, passing the ball to Omar Calhoun, whose three-pointer from the right wing bounced off the rim.

Chery had a steal in the first minute of overtime after Sabri Thompson lost control of the ball. Chery picked it up and drove to make a tough short jumper while being fouled. He shouted out while still sitting on the court after the ball went through the hoop to put the Bears (91) ahead to stay. He added the free throw.

There was an assist for Chery on Gary Franklinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three-pointer in the ex-

Dear Annie: I have a problem, and I’m not sure how my family will react. I’m attracted to transsexuals — well, one in particular — but I’m not gay.

Some of the transsexuals I’ve spoken to don’t look as if they are male at all. They easily could pass for female since birth. I don’t want my family to think I’m gay, because I’m not. How do I tell them? — Pennsylvania Pete Dear Pete: A transsexual is someone who has undergone the physical and emotional transformation from one gender to another. It is not a simple process. It requires surgery, hormones and counseling.

A male who has become female is now female.

She isn’t some guy temporarily masquerading as a woman. And she is entitled to have a romantic life, the same as any other woman.

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

There is no reason for you to broadcast her prior history to anyone.

Of course, if the only reason you are involved with her is because you find her background exotic or you are turned on by the fact that she used to be male, that is a different psychological issue and one you might want to examine more closely.

Dear Annie: When my mother-in-law was still living, I always helped her organize the holiday meals. After she died, I began doing it myself. I

Floundering ‘X Factor’ wraps up Host Mario Lopez will announce the winner of this season’s helping of “The X Factor” (7 p.m., Fox). The real suspense involves the future of this singing competition. A cultural institution in the U.K., “Factor” has stumbled here.

When Simon Cowell left “American Idol” to host the U.S. version of “Factor,” Fox had high hopes of duplicating the “Idol” ratings machine that had been dubbed “the Death Star” by its network competition.

Instead, its arrival contributed to a glut of singing shows. It’s interesting to note that last Thursday’s “Factor” had roughly as many viewers as NBC’s a cappella competition “The SingOff” — and fewer viewers in the 18-49 demographic.

With its short run and its link to the holiday season of family viewing, “The Sing-Off” is special. In contrast, “Factor” will probably be filled with ads for the forthcoming season of “Idol,” kicking off Jan. 15.

Few books have inspired as many holiday adaptations as Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol.” Turner Classic Movies invites viewers to watch, contrast and compare five variations on the story, starting with the 1970 drama “Scrooge” (7 p.m.), starring Albert Finney as miser Ebenezer Scrooge.

Alastair Sim stars in the 1951 British production of “A Christmas Carol” (9 p.m.). That’s my personal favorite. Maurice Evans stars in “Scrooge” (10:30 p.m.) from 1935. Gene Lockhart, Kathleen Lockhart and a very young June Lockhart (”Lost in Space”) appear in the 1938 version of “A Christmas Carol” (midnight). ‘‘Twilight Zone” creator Rod Serling updated Dickens for the 1964 telecast “A Carol for Another Christmas” (1:15 a.m.). Sterling Hayden (”Dr. Strangelove”) portrays an industrialist taught lessons on international cooperation by three ghosts.

Tonight’s Other Highlights

The judges choose the songs on “The Sing-Off” (7 p.m., NBC).

A new season begins with a harvest on “Farm Kings” (8 p.m., GAC).

The designers join with bloggers to identify the fashion trends of 2014 on “Project Runway All Stars” (8 p.m., Lifetime).

always plan a nice dinner.

Now I am having a hard time wanting to get together with my family.

I have adult grandchildren, one of whom is already married. I get no assistance from any of them. It’s just something they expect me to do. No one helps with the cooking or cleaning up afterward. They all wait until the last minute to arrive and sit around while I get everything on the table. After the meal, they go downstairs to chat while I am stuck with the kitchen cleanup.

I am tired, and I feel used. How can these adults not see the need to respect and appreciate all the times I have done this? My younger grandchildren enjoy the family get-togethers and don’t understand why I am not enthusiastic about them. How do I handle this? — Tired of Doing All the Holiday Planning

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Thursday, Dec. 19: This year you will feel as if the wind is at your back, as so much seems to flow in your life. The only person who can stop you is you.

If you are single, you will attract someone just by being yourself. If you are attached, the bond between you becomes more intense.

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) Questions might arise in a meeting or in a discussion involving a friend. Listen carefully and observe. Tonight: In weekend mode.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You will speak and be heard; the modulation of your voice says it all. You would prefer to indulge a loved one rather than have to put restrictions on him or her.

Tonight: Hang out with a pal.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Before you go out to complete any holiday shopping or other matters related to the next few weeks, balance your checkbook and take a hard look at your finances.

Tonight: Out late.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) A loved one might feel a bit down, as you seem to be everywhere but with him or her. This person will understand your actions, but know that he or she misses you.

Tonight: It is your call.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Know when to pull back and find out what is happening. You might not understand the whole story, so speak to a friend or loved one who could give you a different perspective. Tonight: Lighten up the moment.

jacquelinebigar.com

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) A meeting will be more important than you realize. Push could come to shove, whether you like it or not. Tonight: Listen to your instincts.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Step up to the plate and assume your responsibilities. Your finances could stress you out inordinately, especially as you might be facing big bills. Tonight: Join friends.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Keep reaching out to a relative at a distance. A situation could trigger you, but the matter at hand will transform soon enough.

Tonight: Indulge in some lighthearted holiday fun.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Deal with a loved one directly. You might feel as if you are carrying a burden that is hard to discuss; however, you must open up in order to release this weight.

Tonight: Finish up your shopping.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Listen to answers and defer to someone else. Allow greater flexibility. Going with the flow could be a lot easier than you originally might have thought. Tonight: Go out for some munchies.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Pace yourself, and know full well what you need to do. A boss or higher-up could be on your case because he or she needs you to do more. Tonight: Take a nap.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Allow greater creativity to flourish. You have many ideas that could help you shorten your to-do list. Tonight: Move quickly through your errands.

UNIVERSAL CROSSWORD

BELIEVE IT OR ... By Arthur Goodwill

12/19

Dear Tired: You have to tell them. For years, you have done all the work and asked for nothing. You’ve trained them to think this is OK. They may even believe that you prefer it this way.

So speak up. Let them know they are expected to contribute by helping with the cooking, setting the table and cleaning up afterward. They can chat while washing dishes. Assign specific duties to each person, and include the younger grandchildren so they learn that family meals are a group responsibility. If your children and grandchildren refuse to pitch in, inform them that you will no longer host these gatherings because it is too much work for you. You deACROSS serve a rest.

A SWEET INHERITANCE Grandma’s recipe box preserves generations of edible magic

T

he best thing about baking with my grandma was that she was never very scrupulous about scraping every last drop of batter from the mixing bowl. As she said when I commented on it one time — spooning up globs of chocolate brownie batter as I spoke — “Grandma’s prerogative!”

As many memories as I have of baking with my grandma, though, I can only remember making Christmas sugar cookies with her twice. The first time I was so little that the only reason I remember is because someone took a picture. The second time I was a college freshman in need of baking lessons and cheap presents for my friends.

No, I think she almost always baked her sugar cookies before we grandchildren arrived. Then, after carefully icing them, she stacked them between layers of wax paper in a set of old tin baking dishes.

Thus protected, they waited happily in her freezer until the morning before a special meal, when she’d move them to her garage to thaw.

I know now that it was just clever prep work, but for a time I thought Santa’s elves must just leave cookies in my grandparent’s garage. Hey, if you’d grown up with my grandpa’s convincing tales that the red light on top of their city water tower was Rudolph’s nose, you might have believed in cookie elves, too.

My grandmother hasn’t made Christmas sugar cookies for many years now, but thankfully I inherited her recipe box.

When I got a craving for some of her cookies earlier this month, it only took a little digging to find the right card. As with all her recipes, the source of the recipe was penciled on the top right corner. This one simply said “Mother,” which

been a regular customer at the Downtown Barber Shop for more than 10 years. The barber shop sells about 20 salon brand hair product lines at prices that are sometimes more than 50 percent cheaper than at salons and larger beauty supply stores. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like Redken,â&#x20AC;? Towner said.

For $25 Towner can purchase a liter of Redken shampoo and conditioner at the Downtown Barber Shop. She would pay more than double that at salons and beauty supply stores. A liter of Redken shampoo retails for $23.98 at Beauty Brands without the conditioner.

Downtown Barber Shop owner Jon Amyx said when it comes to hair products he wants to supply quality and consistency with his customers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot of places that run sales a lot,â&#x20AC;? Amyx said.

But the Downtown Barber Shop doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rely on sales to lure in customers; instead, Amyx said, it offers competitive prices year round.

Hair products on display at the Downtown Barber Shop.

Customers can get liters of Pureology shampoo and conditioner for $35 each and $15 for an 8.5-ounce bottle.

The same products retail for as much as $58.98 for a liter and $26.98 for an 8.5-ounce bottle at other salons.

When customers run out of shampoo or styling products, they know how much it will cost to replenish their supplies at the Downtown Barber Shop. Amyxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s customers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to stock up on products during big sales. They can buy what they want when they want. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The prices are fabulous,â&#x20AC;? said Kim Hylton, who has been a Downtown Barbershop customer for more than 20 years.

But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just the prices that bring customers like Hylton and Towner back to the Downtown Barber Shop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about Jon. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just so friendly,â&#x20AC;? Hylton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I tell everybody about him. I tell him sometimes he should give me commission for bringing all his new customers,â&#x20AC;?

Hylton said.

Hyltonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s co-worker Ashley

Moran became at Downtown Barber Shop customer 10 years ago, and she said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never go back to big-box beauty stores.

Moran said she buys Redken shampoo and TIGI smoothing cream from the barber shop. The TIGI syling products run $10 each at the Downtown Barber Shop, but can retail for up to $20 each at beauty stores.

The Downtown Barber Shop also carries DevaCurl, Kenra, Chi and Matrix products.

Amyx said he purchases products based on what his customers want. If a customer wants a product he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t currently have, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll purchase the product for the customer and see how well it sells.

The Downtown Barber Shop began selling three lines of hair products 26 years ago, and this part of the business has continued to grow over the years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are probably on the second generation of KU students who are buying products from us,â&#x20AC;? Amyx said.

Amyx doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like to tout his low prices, he said. Instead, he said, he focuses on customer service both in the haircut and retail portions of his business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It all works hand in hand,â&#x20AC;?

Amyx said.

Shoppers can also get salon quality products at Rexâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Stadium Barbershop, 1033 Massachusetts, and at Amyx Barber Shop, 842 Massachusetts.

A double dose of style for women

Emily and Elizabeth Kennedy

Midseason INSPIRATION Downtown boutique full of ideas for stylish combinations

I

n the depth of winter I inevitably find myself in a fashion rut reaching for only black-colored comfortable pieces in my closet. Who wants to wear a fancy dress and heels in 20-degree weather? Not me!

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not saying itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bad thing that I default to only wearing one color or want to throw on something comfortable, but I think changing up your style is important too. As we fall deeper into each season, my creativity for stylish outfits becomes stale and the hunt for inspiration is in order. Thankfully, Lawrence is full of cute boutiques that know style.

Elizabeth and I made our way to Eccentricity, 716 Massachusetts St., for some inspiration and, to be honest, it was difficult to find just a few outfits because of the variety in assortment.

Everything from basic leg wear to bold party dresses was hanging from the racks, but I was able to pull a few looks

REFRESH YOUR LOOK. Emily Kennedy sports an oversized anorak jacket with faux fur trim ($128) from Eccentricity, along with skinny jeans ($89), a striped shirt ($38) and a scarf ($24).

that fit my style: a balance between casual and dressy.

I became fixated on an oversized anorak jacket with faux fur trim because that, to me, is the epitome of effortless casual style. Throw on skinny jeans, a Tshirt and an anorak jacket, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re set in my opinion.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s essentially what I did when I began to build an outfit around this jacket. A long-sleeve striped T-shirt adds a classic feel to the seemingly simple but still chic look. Beautifully tailored skinny jeans with no embellishment can, in some ways, make a statement. There are so many jeans out there with destroyed details, stitching and endless embellishment that they have almost become the standard denim these days. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not opposed to this style, but sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s refreshing to see a good old pair of plain denim. The pair that I found indefinitely fit that bill.

I must add that they are exceptionally comfortable with just the right amount

of stretch, and the price wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t set you too far back either.

I love boutiques where you can find everything from basics to party-ready pieces. Eccentricity is a one-stop-shop for that, so I knew I could switch gears to elevate my look for any dressier occasion. I was presented with this generously sparkled tank top that was not only visually appealing to me, but right on trend for any holiday gathering. A classic black blazer complemented this dazzling number without being too business-like.

Thanks to the versatility of a tank top and blazer combination, you could dress this up with a pair of simple black pointedtoe pumps, or go the casual route with a pair of boots. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Emily and Elizabeth Kennedy are twin sisters and fashion bloggers who share a blog called Fashion Column Twins at fashioncolumntwins.com. They can be reached at fashioncolumnblog@gmail.com.

styleScout Fashion from the streets of Lawrence

Ed Demasio Rhen-Elyse Ward Age: 27 Relationship status: I’ve been seeing someone for about five years.

Hometown: Lawrence.

Occupation: Right now, I coach women on lifestyle design, and I’m also in school for strategic intervention: I work with people in solving their problems, meeting their goals and just becoming more of who they are.

Dream job: My dream job would be to perform as a jazz or blues singer and also have workshops on the side to help people activate their creativity.

What were you doing when scouted? I just got a tattoo and I was waiting for my ride.

Describe your style: My style is pretty freeform. I like layers and I never really wear black. I tend to wear “earthen” colors and natural types of fabrics. I pay attention to texture and colors that work for me.

Fashion trends you love: I love boots and imitation leather and furs but I don’t know if that’s a trend. I also really love natural hairstyles.

Fashion trends you hate: I think it should always be an individual expression. People are all too different for one thing to be hot for everybody.

Fashion influences: Sometimes I’ll see people with something that I like and I’ll end up mimicking it and tailoring it to what my style is, but a lot of the time, it’s me digging through old, discarded clothes and finding things I can do something cool with.

What would you like to see more of in Lawrence? I think Lawrence is pretty fashion-forward for being a Midwestern college town. I love what I see on the streets. I think it’s fun.

Less of? I always encourage people to be more of who they are and take risks and not be afraid of that.

Tattoos or piercings: I just got a tattoo of the medallion (that) the Wizard of Oz gave the cowardly lion that stands for courage.

Whom do people say you look like? Julia Styles when I was younger. I look too different to look like any one person.

What type of music do you like? I really like jazz, blues and R&B. Amy Winehouse was a real favorite artist of mine.

Tell us a secret: Honestly, I do care about what people think and I do have insecurities. Most people who know me don’t think that. Everyone is not going to agree with you or appreciate you or understand what you’re trying to communicate. But it’s worth it, so being afraid and insecure is fine.

I’m sensitive even though I’m strong and I make strong decisions and am willing to take risks.

Zach Mandell Age: 18 Hometown: Lawrence Occupation: I’m studying nursing.

Dream job: Probably just working in some E.R. somewhere!

What were you doing when scouted? Shopping at Wild Man Vintage.

Describe your style: I guess I don’t have a particular style, but I like to go kind of monochromatic — but not like wearing a jumpsuit. It’s just like matching T-shirts and shirts together.

Fashion trends you love: I like that corduroys are in right now!

Fashion trends you hate: Yoga pants! I understand it’s supposed to be comfortable, but you can wear (regular) pants (occasionally).

Fashion influences: I’m just kind of a scavenger when it comes to ideas. I love to people watch.

What would you like to see more or less of in Lawrence? I love Lawrence because of the whole art and music scene. We should keep downtown like it is.

Tattoos or piercings: None Whom do people say you look like?

Since high school, I always get that I look like Leonardo DiCaprio or sometimes Jack Nicholson.

What type of music do you like? I like rap, hip-hop, indie rock and classical music. It depends on my mood. I just started a band in Emporia called Misleading To All. It’s a temporary name.

We’ve only played one open mic.

Tell us a secret: Recently, I tried chicken waffles at IHOP in Emporia and realized that I like to put ranch dressing on my waffles because it makes them tangy!

CLOTHING DETAILS: Adidas sneakers, $60, Famous Footwear; corduroy pants, $30, Kohl’s; pea coat, $40, Old Navy; ‘It’s good to be a nurse’ T-shirt, gift; hat, $15, Urban Outfitters.

CLOTHING DETAILS: Shoes, gift from grandmother; jacket, gift from sister; jeans, $15, Plato’s Closet; shirt, gift from mother; scarf, $25, TJMaxx.

CHERISH THE LOWLY WORM

T

remors,â&#x20AC;? a 1990 horror/comedy movie, features not one but four serious subterranean wormlike creatures dubbed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Graboidsâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at 30 feet long and traveling at 20 miles per hour, they devoured everything from trucks to outhouses. Worms in real life compare only in shape and assumed bodily function, and hopefully we have more than four.

In 1881, Charles Darwin wrote: â&#x20AC;&#x153;It may be doubted whether there are many other animals which have played so important a role in the history of the world, as have these lowly organized creatures.â&#x20AC;? The benefits to us: soil aeration, changing minerals and nutrients into plant-accessible forms with their castings, conversion of large amounts of organic material into rich hummus, minimizing thatch and, in general, creating healthy soils.

Worldwide there are some 6,000 species of worms. Spade into healthy Kansas soil and you should find an abundance of night crawlers (Lumbricus terrestris); in not-so-healthy soil, the common field worm (Allolobophora caliginosa). If no worms are found, you are missing an important asset.

Why no worms? Many lawn and garden chemicals repel, if not kill, worms. Artificial fertilizers provide no nourishment for them. Grub control chemicals applied to your lawn, usually not indicated as necessary, are fatal to worms and the benefits they provide.

WORMS form the basis of many food chains.

Earthworms flee from vibrations, and, if chopped in half, attempt to regenerate. They surface during heavy rains, not because they are drowning, as they breathe through their skin and can actually survive for hours in oxygenated water, but because they have found an easy way to move from point to point in search of food. Worms keep their skin moist by excreting a bodily fluid and residing in a cool, moist medium.

The Graboids in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tremorsâ&#x20AC;? moved through dry desert sand and toward the vibration â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a small technical error by the filmmakers.

Earthworms form the base of many food chains.

Birds (especially robins), snakes, mammals (bears, foxes, hedgehogs, pigs, moles) and invertebrates (ground beetles, snails, slugs) prey on them. Earthworms reproduce and leave behind a small white cocoon birthing the fully formed worms.

Earthworms â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not grubs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are a major food source for moles. In fact, grubs make up less than 10 percent of a moleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diet. A grub control put down for mole prevention does work, but for the wrong reason.

Vermicomposting is a classic demonstration of the activity and benefit of worms and composting.

Red Wigglers (Eisenia fetida) flourish in shredded newspaper and kitchen waste to produce the castings and urine cherished by plants. In a dark corner of a NYC apartment closet, with little care, I have seen the results, and some entertainment for the grandchildren. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Graboidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? came from a writerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mind. Worms came here from nature â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Â many from the Europeans in plants, soil and shipsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ballast. Nature brought us these beneficial invertebrates. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work to keep them around. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Stan Ring is the Horticulture Program Assistant for K-State Research and Extension in Douglas County.
