KU baton twirler pulls down national championship

Budget balancing act may tip toward cuts By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

always a “real good crowdpleaser,” Livengood said.) After the scores were totaled, Livengood was on top. When she first picked up a baton at 4 years old, her sister and cousin had twirled before her. Others twirled alongside her at the dance studio in her hometown of Clay Center, where she learned the art as she grew up and went through high school, going to state, national and international competitions.

Legislators are in a pickle. Because of income tax cuts they approved last year, the state treasury is projected to lose hundreds of millions of dollars in a relatively short period of time. So this year, Gov. Sam Brownback is proposing “pay fors” to balance the state budget. But these “pay fors” are proving unpopular among Brownback’s Republican colleagues because they are tax increases. They include extension of a 1-cent state sales tax increase, most of which was LEGISLATURE supposed to sunset on July 1, and elimination of major tax deductions for homeowners. House Speaker Ray Merrick, R-Stilwell, said Republicans, who own a 92-33 advantage over Democrats in the House, haven’t warmed up to Brownback’s idea to keep the state sales tax rate at 6.3 percent, when it is supposed to ratchet down to 5.7 percent. “I don’t see a lot of appetite out here to retain the sales tax,” he said. And legislators are getting heat from Realtors and homeowners who don’t want to lose the mortgage interest and property tax deductions. In the Senate, also controlled by Republicans, 32-8, a committee put the property tax deduction back in its recommended bill. Without support for those “pay fors,” Republicans now are looking at budget cuts. Merrick said he gave his House Appropriations Chairman Marc Rhoades, R-Newton,

KU MARCHING BAND BATON TWIRLER SHANNON LIVENGOOD performs before the Jayhawks football game against TCU on Sept. 15, 2012, at Memorial Stadium. Livengood won this year’s national collegiate championship earlier this month.

Showstopping performances with marching band anything but routine By Matt Erickson merickson@ljworld.com

For once, earlier this month, Shannon Livengood got to talk to some other people who do what she does. Then she defeated them in a competition. Livengood, a Kansas University sophomore, is the baton twirler for the KU marching band. Earlier this month she won an intercollegiate national championship. But perhaps the best part of the experience, she said, was getting to hang out with

Not very many people have twirling in common with you, so when we get together at competition, it’s really good.” — Shannon Livengood others who practice what can be quite a solitary art at the college level. “Not very many people have twirling in common with you,” Livengood said, “so when we get together

at competition, it’s really good.” At the ninth annual U.S. Intercollegiate and National High School Baton Twirling Championships on Feb. 3 at William Jewell College in Liberty, Mo., she competed against other twirlers from Kansas State University, the University of Texas and a handful of other schools. They twirled one, then two, then three batons, went through their usual pregame fightsong performance and performed a freestyle routine. (The three-baton routine is

Bills would tackle governance of high school athletics By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

a pair of golden scissors to start snipping away at state spending. But asked where the budget could be cut, Merrick declined to provide any specifics. That budget process accelerates this week as the House Appropriations and Senate Ways and Means committees start analyzing big-ticket agencies. Today, Ways and Means will consider Kansas University’s budget. A subcommittee already has endorsed a $10 million cut at the KU Medical Center from the governor’s recommendation. That $10 million was earmarked to help start construction of a health education building that KU has said is a major priority. Brownback said he understands the difficulties that legislators face on tax issues. “Addressing tax policy is hard,” he said. “Going from a slow growth to pro-growth state involves tax policy that is difficult. You’re moving really from taxing the production side of the equation to the consumption side of the equation, and that is difficult,” he said. Brownback’s plan, which he started last year, is to cut the state income tax with the goal being the

eventual elimination of the income tax. He argues that will lure more businesses to Kansas and stimulate economic growth. But critics say it is already cratering the budget and threatening education and social services. House Democratic Leader Paul Davis, of Lawrence, said most Republicans are divided between those who want to follow Brownback’s lead and those who want to make significant budget cuts. “When you put conservative Republicans in charge of the store, you’re seeing that they are going to pass massive income taxes (cuts) that largely benefit the rich, that the state cannot afford,” Davis said. Last year Republicans, at Brownback’s direction, eliminated tax credits helping low-income Kansans, while also eliminating income taxes for the owners of 191,000 businesses. Davis added, “And the question is now, are we going to cut things that I think people want to see state government fund — schools, transportation, social services — or are they going to raise taxes on the middle class and the people at the lower end of the scale to pay for it?” — Statehouse reporter Scott Rothschild can be reached at 785-423-0668.

going to be a game Saturday, whether you’re ready or not,” Livengood said. This year, she’s also performed during halftime for one men’s and one women’s basketball game. And she’ll hit a competitive circuit during the summer, progressing through state, regional and national contests. The competition Livengood won earlier this month is the only one where she represents KU, she said. The organization that puts it on, the National Coalition for the Advancement of Baton Twirling, aims to make it a competitive sport among high schools and colleges. One of Livengood’s goals is to find someone to step in and replace her when she graduates. She landed the feature twirler position after the mother of KU’s previous twirler spotted her at a competition in Salina. Smith said it was wonderful that Livengood had earned herself and the Marching Jayhawks some recognition, but he said where she helps the band best is with her ability to connect with the fans at Memorial Stadium on Saturdays in the fall. “It’s the equivalent of a singer having a great stage presence and being able to interact with the audience,” Smith said — and Livengood has it down.

“It was always fun for me, and kind of what I did to get away from school and everything else,” Livengood said. But none of those other people twirled in college. No one twirled batons at KU for three years before Livengood arrived, and she’s the only twirler now. She’s part of KU’s Marching Jayhawks, but as feature twirler, she functions as her own choreographer and coach. “She’s her own section,” said Matthew Smith, director of the Marching Jayhawks. She practices alongside the band during marching season, but she also spends hours alone in KU’s Robinson Gymnasium, practicing and choreographing routines while playing a recording of the band’s upcoming show. “It’s part of the job,” Smith said. To keep herself going, she sometimes calls her old coach in Clay Center for motivation.

set up situations in which school a team could lose a star player in important games because of scheduling conflicts with club competitions. “As your season progresses, you get down to the final days of tournaments, then proceeding to the post-season, and all of a sudden an athlete might decide to go to Las Vegas for a two-day tournament that’s the same day as the sub-state or state tournament is happening at your high school, so now the kid has to make a choice,” Lawrence High School athletic director Ron Commons said. “If parents are involved in that, they see the glamor of going on, and in their own selfinterest, they leave the rest of their high school team sitting without their star player.”

Shifting responsibility Bonicelli, whose two sons were competitive swimmers at Blue Valley Northwest High School, was instrumental in lobbying for a bill in 2011 that lifted the ban on dual-participation for swimmers. Sen. Vicki Schmidt, a Topeka Republican who also raised two sons who were championship swimmers, was chief sponsor of that measure in the Legislature.

“They were both AllAmericans,” Schmidt said of her sons. “They both went to Olympic trials. So they were very accomplished swimmers in high school. Both had to make the decision of whether they continued with high school swimming, or didn’t do high school swimming and just continued with their club swimming.” The dual-participation ban still applies to other sports, so Bonicelli and others are pushing for structural changes to the activities association’s executive board, as well as governing boards of all high school leagues, in hopes of giving parents more influence. The current executive board is made up entirely of school employees, school board members and members of the Kansas State Board of Education. “I guess (the bill) presumes that people who are licensed educators either aren’t qualified or can’t be trusted to make good decisions about school activity programs,” said Gary Musselman, executive director of KSHSAA. Rep. Ed Trimmer, Winfield, who is ranking Democrat on the House Education Committee, said he sees no reason to change the governing board’s structure, and he also supports the ban on dual participation, even though his daughter was a competitive swimmer in private swim clubs.

“What you have are kids who never practice with the team, and then come to the meets and swim in place of somebody who’s been practicing with the team,” Trimmer said. “So that student is never allowed to practice with that better swimmer to improve themselves and see a higher standard.” But Kansas House Speaker Ray Merrick, RStilwell, who has been a critic of the current organization for many years, believes the change would be good for competition. “There are a lot of school districts in the state that can’t come out and say it, but they view the Kansas State High School Activities Association as a dictatorial agency,” Merrick said. “Some of the decisions they make completely take the parents out of the equation, and I think they’re the ones that should be responsible.” Bills aimed at overhauling the governance of KSHSAA have been introduced several times in the past. But Bonicelli believes it has a better chance this year, mainly because many legislators who had opposed changes in the past were defeated in the 2012 elections. “Definitely, we have more support now in both the Senate and the House,” she said. — Education reporter Peter Hancock can be reached at 832-7259.

Program aims to increase African literacy By Rebekka Schlichting rschlichting@ljworld.com

Last week, Democratic legislative leaders unveiled their agenda, which included an increase in the state minimum wage, which is the same as the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour. The next day, President Barack Obama called for an increase in the federal minimum wage to $9 an hour and then indexing it to inflation. But it wasn’t too long ago, Kansas had the lowest state minimum wage in the nation at $2.65 per hour. In 2009, the Legislature approved a bill that raised the state minimum wage to the federal level after it had been stuck at $2.65 since 1988. Labor officials had estimated at the time that about 19,000 Kansans were earning below the federal minimum wage. Democrats had long fought for the increase in the state minimum wage, but it had been stymied by the Kansas Chamber of Commerce and Republicans. In 2009, however, several Republican legislators said they were tired of being criticized for the $2.65 per hour minimum and pushed, along with Democrats and fair-wage advocates, for the increase. Sen. Marci Francisco, D-Lawrence, was the sponsor of the bill calling for the increase.

Visitors to the Spencer Museum of Art may notice one of its leading ladies is missing. She’ll return, though, after an important East Coast mission. Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s “La Pia de’ Tolomei” — one of the Spencer’s most famous and popular paintings — is on loan to the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., which is featuring it in a landmark exhibit. The National Gallery is billing “Pre-Raphaelites: Victorian Art and Design, 1848-1900,” which opened Sunday, as the first major survey of the art of the Pre-Raphaelites to be shown in the United States. “The Pre-Raphaelites rejected the rigid rules for painting that prevailed at

National Gallery director Earl A. Powell III said in a news release. “We are thrilled to present this rare exhibition to our audiences and grateful to lenders, both public and private.” “La Pia” was the last major canvas completed by Rossetti, who lived from 1828 to 1882, according to information from the Spencer. The dramatic portrait, measuring roughly 3.5 feet by 4 feet, depicts a pensive, seated woman with rippling auburn hair and a billowing robe. Her story is a sad one.

Children in Maai Mahiu, Kenya, may not have much access to modern education, but they’re getting the latest in digital reading technology thanks to a Kansas-based program called Kansas to Kenya. Last May, Kathy Miller, a Woodlawn School paraprofessional in special education and a member of K2K, spent 10 days in Kenya teaching eager children in Maai Mahiu how to use e-readers. The children were introduced to the new technology by a partnership of K2K, a generous family from Wichita and Worldreader International, a nonprofit group that helps spread e-books to developing countries. “I enjoy working with kids, and I want to bring knowledge to them,” said Miller, who plans to go back to Kenya with K2K this summer. “I want to help make their life better.” The Osborne Library in Maai Mahiu opened last November, in a building built with a donation from John and Renee Osborne of Wichita. John is actively involved with charity work in Wichita and named the library in honor of his father, the late Rev. H. Paul Osborne, a longtime Episcopal priest in Wichita. John Osborne said donating money to help build a library seemed fitting because his father was focused on reading and education. The purpose of the library was to help fulfill the United Nations’ Millennium Development Goal to achieve universal primary education in developing countries. Steve Segebrecht, the director of K2K, said the group chose to work in Kenya because one of the primary targets of this Millennium Development Goal was sub-Saharan countries in Africa. “They were falling so far behind in terms of poverty and women’s rights, education equality and health issues such as HIV, TB, malaria,” Segebrecht said. K2K is a nonprofit organization founded in 2006 and led by members of the Episcopal Diocese in Kansas. Its goal is to work with other organizations to improve living in Kenya through various projects. For example, in addition to co-founding the digital library, members have helped Maai Mahiu residents learn about health, Please see E-READERS, page 4A

of Senate Bill 130, which would allow local government entities to invest in precious metals such as gold and silver. Before the Senate Ethics, Elections and Local Government Committee, Widder said local governments need a hedge against inflation amid a shaky world economy and deficit spending by the United States government. He noted Russia and China were buying a lot of gold. But bankers and former House Speaker Doug Mays, who also served as Kansas securities commissioner, said allowing local governments to invest in precious metals was too risky. Committee Chairman Dennis Pyle, R-Hiawatha, said the bill needed a lot of work before the committee would consider it.

sanitation and irrigation methods. They also have built houses, provided health care, paid school fees for orphans and more. Linda Vander Velde, the goal coordinator for K2K, said many of the children in Maai Mahiu do not have access to traditional paper books. Even the schools have very few books, and most of them are in poor condition. In many of the classrooms, one or two books are shared among about 40 students. “The passion is to put them in touch with a whole world of reading and ideas and dreams that can potentially change their lives and change the lives of their community and their nation,” Vander Velde said. “It expands their imagination; it creates thinking processes that maybe they wouldn’t have otherwise.” Why e-readers? Miller said the devices are cheap and easy to transport overseas, and they can hold thousands of books. K2K

Keeping budget options open House Speaker Ray Merrick, R-Stilwell, raised some eyebrows at his weekly news conference when he said maintaining a 7.5 percent ending balance wasn’t a priority for him. “You have to keep all options open,” Merrick said. State law requires the state have a 7.5 percent balance at the end of the fiscal year. The mark has been sidestepped many times, but recently Republicans have made it a top priority. But the budget is getting tighter as Gov. Sam Brownback’s tax plan takes on more water. His proposals to remove popular homeowner deductions and keep the sales tax high past its expiration date are not resonating with his fellow Republicans. That means the ending balance may have to be lowered so those funds can be used to pay for items in the budget. Merrick said he would like to maintain the 7.5 percent ending balance but added lowering that figure has to be an option.

raised money to pay for the e-books and Kindles for the library last spring during its Medieval Feast and auction. The group will hold another feast and auction to raise money for more books in April. Worldreader supplied 37 Kindles and many books at a discount price. Its mission is to bring books to developing countries in order to improve lives. “We’re particularly taken by the fact that they (K2K) are helping for the long term, year after year,” said David Risher, CEO and co-founder of Worldreader. “We love working with strong organizations like Kansas to Kenya that share our dream, and thank them for being enthusiastic partners and leaders in education in Africa.” When K2K purchased the e-readers, it also purchased 50 books by African authors and 50 books from other authors around the world. Segebrecht said K2K is accepting donations to purchase more books. To make a donation, go to kansas2kenya.com or send a check or money order to Kansas to Kenya at 835 SW Polk St., Topeka, KS 66612.

Drink up: Mobile milk, new coffee shop coming soon

obile milk — and you don’t even need an app for it — is seeking to come to North Lawrence. Iwig Dairy has filed for a permit to have a mobile food truck that sells fresh milk and dairy items in a city parking lot near North Second and Locust streets in North Lawrence. Tim Iwig, owner of the Tecumseh-based dairy, told me the food truck idea is a bit of a test to determine the level of demand in the North Lawrence market. He confirmed his company is looking at a permanent store location in a small, vacant building a bit north of North Second and Lincoln streets. It won’t quite be the grocery store that North Lawrence has long said it needs, but it might meet a bit of the demand in that category. “If we could get it started, then we could see what we could pull together,” Iwig said. “We have guys who like to bring us produce and eggs and that sort of thing. If we could get people going to the location, I think it could make a difference for us and for North Lawrence.” But first, the food truck. Iwig hopes to have his business up and running soon. He said he plans to sell most of the items that he currently sells in his Lawrence store at 19th and Massachusetts. That means milk, cheeses, butter and probably some ice cream. Iwig, by the way, said the mobile food truck is not meant to replace the store’s 19th and Massachusetts location. In case you are confused about what location we’re talking about, it is the city-owned lot that basically is cattycorner from Johnny’s Tavern. (I knew providing directions from a bar would help some of you.) It will be interesting to see if the city has helped start a trend here. If Iwig has success at the lot, will other mobile food vendors seek permission to locate there? Food trucks are big business in some cities, and they usually take off when there is a spot that allows them to colocate and build up some critical mass. That North Lawrence parking lot wouldn’t have been the first one to come to mind as a candidate for such a location, but I guess you never know. What I do know is a cup of fresh ice cream, a fishing pole, the Kansas River, and perhaps a cold beverage other than milk sounds like a pretty decent afternoon. (And this time, I’ll keep the ice cream farther away from the bait bucket.)

Town Talk

Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Here’s other news from 19th and Massachusetts streets. Alchemy Coffee, which will feature hand-crafted coffee, is set to go into a portion of the building that houses Iwig Dairy. “The whole idea of it is the science of coffee,” owner Benjamin Farmer said. “That is where the alchemy thing plays into it.” If you want to know about the science of coffee, just let Farmer talk for a couple of minutes. He’ll bring up phrases like “pour over,” “French press” and something called “clever coffee.” As many regular readers will attest, anything related to “clever” likely is beyond my grasp. But Farmer tells me it is a brewing method that uses a paper filter and is kind of a mix between a French press and a traditional pour over. So I’m sure that clears it up for you. Alchemy Coffee probably will have to be a bit clever to figure out how to make its location work. The building at 1901 Massachusetts St. has struggled to keep businesses, in part because the site has some significant parking challenges. In fact, I believe the city had to approve an administrative waiver from the parking requirements to allow Alchemy to locate in the building. But Farmer said he is aware of all that and believes a coffee shop may be the right fit for the building because it has the potential to be pedestrian-oriented. The shop will be in the part of the building that faces 19th Street, which puts it on the route to Lawrence High. Plus, the neighborhood around the shop is densely developed, meaning there are lots of homes within walking distance of a cup of coffee. Farmer said he hopes the shop will become a gathering place for area residents. “I have always loved coffee shops because of the community feel and atmosphere and the idea of coming together over something as simple as coffee,” Farmer said. Renovation work is under way on the shop. Farmer said he expects to be open before the end of the month. — City reporter Chad Lawhorn can be reached at 832-6362.

Play your (credit) cards right for a free vacation By Scott Mayerowitz Associated Press

NEW YORK — A free vacation could be in the cards. Banks are competing fiercely for new credit card users — especially those with good credit. To entice new customers, several major banks are throwing in enough frequent flier miles for two free tickets anywhere in the U.S. Charge the groceries, a night out at a restaurant and the kids’ new spring outfits and you might even earn enough rewards to also get a free hotel or car rental. But before you rush out to get a credit card, make sure that the airline — and the type of card — best suit your vacation needs.

Which card suits you The first thing to do is start with a travel goal, says Gary Leff, who has been giving advice about free travel and credit cards since 2002 on his blog View from the Wing. See which airlines fly to the city you want to visit. If, for example, Southwest is the only airline, get its card. The other option is to get a credit card with flexible points that can be transferred to several airlines. American Express Membership Reward points can be transferred to 15 airline and five hotel partners. Chase Ultimate Rewards can be transferred by cardholders to four airline and three hotel partners. The most flexible transfer option, however, might be through Starwood hotels and its American Express card. The company, which includes the Sheraton and Westin chains, allows points to

be transferred to 29 airline partners. Several banks are currently offering bonuses of 25,000 to 50,000 miles for spending anywhere from $1,000 to $5,000 in the first few months of having a card. Domestic coach tickets start at 25,000 miles while tickets to Europe are usually 60,000 miles. Business class tickets generally require twice as many miles. “There’s no better, easier, quicker way to get free flights than signing up for a couple of strategic credit cards,” says Leff, who is paid a commission when somebody applies for a card through links on his site. “It really seems like the banks want us to fly around the world in a premium class of service pretty much for free.”

Miles or cash That might be want the banks want, but the airlines aren’t always so charitable. Airlines limit the number of seats available to travelers using miles. During holidays and other peak travel periods there might not be any seats open for mileage redemption. In some cases, miles aren’t even the best option. If you want to fly domestically in coach the best bet isn’t an airline card but one offering cash back. (Those looking for in international business class seats should still stick to miles.) Fidelity has an American Express card that gives a 2-percent rebate. Priceline has a Visa that offers 2 percent cash back, which can be used to pay your credit card bill.

With airline cards typically offering one mile for every dollar charged, it would take $25,000 to earn enough miles for a free flight. With a 2-percent cash back card, that same amount of spending would earn a $500 rebate, enough to purchase most domestic flights and without any of the hassles of trying to redeem miles. Additionally, you will be able to earn miles for the flight. (Reward tickets don’t earn miles.) “Cash trumps free anything because you can do anything with it,” says Tim Winship, publisher of FrequentFlier.com, an advice site for travelers. So instead of saving miles for that dream Hawaiian vacation, just get enough cash back to pay for it yourself.

Is loyalty worth it? Winship says there has been a gradual erosion of the value of these miles and points and that award ticket availability is getting harder to find. “I’m not saying loyalty programs are worthless. I’m saying they are worth

Utility: Pipeline power won’t be done in 2014 COLUMBUS, NEB. (AP) — A Nebraska utility says the new route for a proposed oil pipeline that would carry Canadian crude oil through the state will delay work on electric transmission lines for the pipeline. Nebraska Public Power District officials said they won’t be able to build the transmission lines by the deadline TransCanada set for the end of 2014. NPPD Chief Operating Officer Tom Kent said there’s no way the transmission lines will be ready by 2015, the Columbus Telegram reported. “We have a lot of work to do,” he said. TransCanada’s pro-

posed Keystone XL pipeline will carry Canadian crude to the Gulf Coast if it can win President Barack Obama’s approval. The proposed $7 billion pipeline would cross Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. TransCanada also has proposed connecting it to the Bakken oil field in Montana and North Dakota. The southern section of the pipeline between Oklahoma and the Gulf Coast is already under construction, but TransCanada needs a presidential permit for the northern section because the pipeline crossed the U.S.Canadian border.

TransCanada altered the pipeline’s proposed path through Nebraska last year to avoid the environmentally sensitive Sandhills region and a couple towns’ drinking water wells. Nebraska Gov. Dave Heineman recently signed off on the new route. That new route forces NPPD to redo design and planning work for all the areas where the pipeline route changed. Officials estimated that could take 12 to 24 months to complete. NPPD expects to spend $44 million on the transmission lines, but TransCanada will have to reimburse the utility regardless of whether the pipeline is ultimately built.

less today than they were five years ago and will be worth less in five years,” Winship says. Many of the hotel and airline cards also come with hefty annual fees, typically ranging from $50 to $100 but sometimes as high as $450. Those fees are only worth paying if you are charging a few thousand dollars each month. There is one exception: some hotel cards, such as the ones for Hyatt, Marriott and InterContinental Hotels — which includes Holiday Inn — come with a free night at certain level hotels each year. The cost of the annual fee is often less than one night’s hotel bill. Hotel points are also typically easier to redeem than airline miles. But be warned: all of these cards often charge with higher interest rates — some as high as 24.99 percent — and are best only for those who pay off their monthly bills in full. “These cards are definitely not the way to go,” Winship says, “if keeping your head above water is your first priority.”

Mortgage bill faces tough road WASHINGTON (AP) — A sharply divided Congress isn’t likely to jump at President Barack Obama’s challenge for quick passage of a mortgage refinancing bill that supporters say could help millions of homeowners save big each year and boost the economy. Obama praised the legislation in his State of the Union speech last week, saying the proposal would help more homeowners with mortgages backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac take advantage of low interest rates and refinance their loans. Even with mortgage rates near a 50-year low, Obama said, too many families that have never missed a payment and want to refinance are being turned down. “That’s holding our entire economy back, and we need to fix it,” the president said.

BRIEFCASE Terry Finton, a coowner of Natural Breeze Remodeling, earned a certified graduate remodeler educational designation while attending the National Home Builders Show in Las Vegas last month. Finton is one of seven people in Kansas with a CGR designation and the only designee in Lawrence. During the Renewable Fuels Association’s 18th annual National Ethanol Conference in Las Vegas, Scott Zaremba, president of Zarco 66 Inc. and Zarco 66 American Fuels, was awarded the Industry Award in recognition of his

vision and commitment to expanding fuel choices for his customers in Kansas. In July, Zaremba became the first petroleum marketer in the United States to offer E15 and has expanded E15 availability to seven stations in the state, a press release said. Ann Evans, the former executive director of the Lawrence Arts Center, has joined Osher Lifelong Evans Learning Institute at Kan-

Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center and the Lawrence-Douglas County Housing Authority have received an award of $111,462 from the Kansas Housing Resources Corporation for continuation of the Community Support Services HOME Tenant Based Rental Assistance program. The funds are administered by Lawrence-Douglas County Housing Authority and provide subsidies for low-income residents with serious and persistent mental illness renting in Douglas

County. Beginning in 1993, rental subsidy awards totaling $1,488,982 have helped more than 277 households, all of which had one

EDITORIALS

Prayer, politics It’s hard not to be offended by the depiction of Lawrence as a “dark spiritual area” of Kansas.

t never hurts to have people praying for you, but Lawrence residents may be a little offended to learn they were included in a recent call for prayers for the “dark spiritual areas” of Kansas. The request came from a group called the Capitol Commission, a Christian group that targets its communications to state legislators, staff members and lobbyists. The group is based in Raleigh, N.C., and has ministries in 21 states, including Missouri and Kansas. A Feb. 7 missive advised Kansas lawmakers, “Target prayer for dark spiritual areas of SE Kansas, Lawrence, KCKS, North Johnson County — ask God to restore the land.” We didn’t know we were part of a “dark spiritual area.” We certainly could offer significant evidence to the contrary, given Lawrence’s many active faith communities and caring social service agencies, not to mention the charitable efforts of many individual residents. It didn’t take long for some observers to note that the areas specified in the request represented the parts of the state that most often support Democratic candidates in presidential and legislative elections. It didn’t seem like a coincidence, but Dave Depue, the Capitol Commission’s Kansas director, assures us it was. He said no politics was involved and the group was just hoping collective prayer could help areas that aren’t prospering. “We’re just praying for the economy,” he said. Really? If you were picking out the most economically troubled areas in Kansas, would you focus on Lawrence or any part of Johnson County? And, as Rep. Kathy Wolf Moore, a Kansas City, Kan., Democrat noted, Depue must not have been to Wyandotte County lately and seen the huge developments around the Kansas Speedway and the Legends. Depue acknowledged that the prayer request might have been “unfortunate wording on my part” and said he meant no offense. Maybe so, but it’s hard to explain his choice of prayer subjects as anything but a political statement. We certainly welcome anyone’s prayers of support for our community — we may even offer a few of our own — but it’s unfortunate when spiritual leaders choose to use prayer to make a political point.

Soccer gangs become political force WASHINGTON — If you’re trying to understand the rampaging soccer fans who have become a political force in the new Egypt, you might consult Anthony Burgess’ 1962 novel, “A Clockwork Orange.” The book was about a chaotic future shaped by roving gangs of “droogs” (Burgess’ imaginary word for young male toughs). Led by Alex, the droogs get stoned on milk-and-drug cocktails and then commit brutal acts of what Burgess called “ultraviolence.” “You got shook and shook till there was nothing left. You lost your name and your body and your self and you just didn’t care,” says Alex in describing his violent binges. Burgess’ novel — popularized in a 1971 film by Stanley Kubrick, starring Malcolm McDowell as the malevolent Alex — is worth a new look. It’s an eerily prescient guide to the youth gangs that are wild in the streets of Egypt and other countries. What are these hooligans telling us about the future — not just in Egypt but in other nations where authoritarian leaders have lost their power to repress dissent by angry young men? The teenage marauders seem to have lost respect for the world of their fathers — and for the forces of social control that were woven through traditional societies like Egypt. The old social fabric has ripped. The young gangs who own the streets are contemptuous of police and

The teenage marauders seem to have lost respect for the world of their fathers — and for the forces of social control that were woven through traditional societies like Egypt.” most other authority figures. If the Egyptian government orders a curfew, the soccer thugs make a point of staying out all night. They display the restless, rebellious alienation that sociologists sometimes describe as “anomie.” The Egyptian soccer thugs are known as “ultras,” a term that Burgess would have liked, and they are playing a growing political role. They helped overthrow President Hosni Mubarak two years ago in Tahrir Square. Now, styling themselves as the “Black Bloc,” they are challenging Mubarak’s successor, President Mohamed Morsi, and his Muslim Brotherhood government. Analysts theorize that the soccer thugs were allowed to take root under Mubarak

because they offered a nonpolitical way for young men to vent their anger — outside the mosque and outside opposition politics. But the gangs of violent youths became shock troops of the uprising that toppled Mubarak’s regime. They helped prevent the security forces from sweeping the square in the revolution’s fragile early days. James Dorsey, a journalist and academic who writes a blog called “The Turbulent World of Middle East Soccer,” explains the rise of the ultras. After years of battling Egyptian police in the soccer stadiums, “they were fearless, they had nothing to lose, and they became battle-hardened,” he told Foreign Policy. Egypt’s post-revolutionary challenge has been getting these angry youths to join in building a new democratic system. This same problem is evident in other Arab Spring hot spots, such as Tunisia and Libya, which are proving fractious and difficult to govern. In Egypt (a society with a deep love of order), the instability has been acute: A year ago, a soccer riot in Port Said killed 74 people. Last month, more than 30 were killed as soccer riots erupted in Suez, Alexandria, Cairo and Port Said. Morsi seemed close to losing control, until the military sent in troops to protect key facilities. The problem, Dorsey told Foreign Policy, is “how to make the transition from street to system.” This hasn’t

happened in Egypt or Libya, and has only begun in Tunisia. The revolt of alienated soccer youths is hardly confined to North Africa. In Israel, a soccer team called Beitar Jerusalem is supported by racist young fans who chant “Death to the Arabs” and recently unfurled a banner that proclaimed “Beitar Pure Forever” to express their opposition to recruiting Muslim players. “When talking about Beitar, it’s actually showing a mirror for Israeli society,” Nidal Othman, the director of the Coalition Against Racism in Israel, asserted to The New York Times. Soccer hooliganism is endemic, as well, in Britain and many other European nations. Racist chants can be heard on soccer pitches across the continent. In his 2004 book, “How Soccer Explains the World,” Franklin Foer noted the paradox that hooligans and their violent tribalism continue, even as soccer becomes globalized and interconnected. Soccer teams provide an intense bonding experience in societies where other connections have broken down. We can see this theme playing out now in Egypt, as the kids who made the revolution refuse to settle down and take their seats. Like the Jacobins of revolutionary France, these “ultras” rule the streets, almost daring some future general to crack down. — David Ignatius is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

PUBLIC FORUM

No update To the editor: A recent cartoon in the Journal World likened the Roman Catholic Church’s moral stance on sexual ethics to the Dark Ages. The cartoonist asserted that their sexual morality should be “updated.” Why? I am asking for the grounds for urging Christians to change their views. What basis? What foundation? Where does he begin to assert the need for such a change? Obviously a cartoon cannot give a full-orbed argument, but he does take a bold stance without giving any reasons. The Roman Catholic Church and all traditional Christians urge their positions based on revelation. Beginning with God’s words to Moses, “You shall not commit adultery,” their arguments are grounded in a transcendent, non-subjective standard. By contrast, as I understand those who tend to agree with the cartoonist, they generally begin and end inside their own skulls. As the Bible says, “what is right in their own eyes.” They at times have utilitarian reasons for their ethical position, but that’s the extent of it. But, why should “usefulness” or even “rights” matter if there is nothing outside of the human skull that sets the standard? Why should I care about you if all that exists is a material universe? Why have any standards at all except “eat, drink, and be merry” for tomorrow we die? No, God’s revelation does not need to be updated. Since he created us, he knows what is best for us. David Upchurch, Lawrence

Fitting photo To the editor: Pity the poor editor of the Journal-World’s letters column, who must daily trudge through submissions from some of the worst cranks in town before occasionally turning up a gem worth printing. Mine probably belongs to the former category, but here goes anyway. For my pet peeve concerns nothing more portentous than the file photo of Gov. Sam Brownback that runs alongside columns announcing his latest policies. The photo shows Brownback with eyes askance, jowls flapping, mouth open. It looks for all the world like the likeness of

a bleating sheep! Not that I am a fan of the governor. He is a mean-minded Uriah Heep of an official who soaks the poor, aggrandizes the rich and tries at every turn to undermine the state’s systems of social services, public education, fair taxation and practically anything else citizens value. Too often, he descends from the high road of public policy to strut the sawdust trail. Yet, I belong to the old school who believe that a head of state ought to be accorded a modicum of respect by virtue of his office. I have met the governor on several occasions, and, while no matinee idol, he certainly merits a more flattering pictorial representation than this. May I suggest that this hideous photo be replaced, or at least alternated, with another one he has used in his campaign literature? It shows the governor full-face and grinning like the Cheshire Cat (the man does have a nice set of teeth!). Although it may strike some as something cropped from a college yearbook, it would impart a certain air of dignity to a man who may not deserve it, but whose office does. Bill Getz, Lawrence

City costs To the editor: I must be missing something. During a Feb. 12 study session, the City Commission discussed a plan to increase residential water and sewer bills by more than $500 over the next five years to fund infrastructure upgrades. During their regular meeting that evening, commissioners also told staff to ignore the lowest bids and negotiate a recycle contract with a company that is not currently in the recycling industry. They don’t even have a recycling plant. No matter what a person thinks about the city billing them for a mandatory recycling service, the commission’s thought process is beyond my comprehension. And to make matters worse, the commissioners reportedly never reviewed or considered a proposal that might save the city between $250,000 and $500,000 in annual trash service costs. I am confused about the way the commissioners look at our city, but one thing is clear to me: Election Day can’t get here soon enough. Jim Joyce, Lawrence

OLD HOME TOWN

Construction of the K-10 highway between DeSoto and Highway K-7 in Johnson County was to begin in June of this year, announced State Highway Commissioner Robert Hagen YEARS today. A hearing had been set for April 4 in AGO Johnson County District Court to settle the isIN 1973 sue of a temporary injunction that had halted progress on the 7.5 miles of road since October. The suit, brought by S. R. Brunn, Olathe, charged that the highway commission had been “capricious and arbitrary” in establishing the location and design of the highway. Brunn owned about three acres which were to be affected by the proposed road improvement.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Feb. 18, 1913: “For almost a week a party of surveyors has been camped in Lawrence. Each morning YEARS they have been riding out of the city and each AGO evening they have been returning. During the IN 1913 day they have been hard at work in the vicinity of the city and yet very few people knew that they were here, knew what they were doing or what their plans were. Today it all leaked out. They are surveyors, railroad surveyors, yes, and interurban railroads at that. These eight men who have been so secretive in their operations have great plans — they are planning to build a railroad from Kansas City to Topeka via Lawrence.... They did not want their operations and plans known until they were ready to begin the laying of ties, until the sounds of clanging steel awakened the populace to the realization of the fact that at last one more dream had come true.” — Compiled by Sarah St. John

KANSAS 81, NO. 22 OKLAHOMA 71

A senior moment

John Young/Journal-World Photos

KANSAS SENIOR GUARD ANGEL GOODRICH, CENTER, IS CONGRATULATED BY TEAMMATE BUNNY WILLIAMS during Kansas’ annual “Jayhawks for a Cure” cancer-awareness game. Goodrich had 10 assists to become KU’s all-time career assists leader with 687, helping KU upend No. 22 Oklahoma, 81-71, Sunday in Allen Fieldhouse.

Assertive Davis takes over late By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

When a 19-point lead dwindled to seven with 5:35 left, Kansas University basketball forward Carolyn Davis stuck her backside into Oklahoma’s Nicole Griffin on the right block before raising her right hand. The message was clear to KU’s Monica Engelman: “Give me the ball.” It didn’t matter that many teams would have backed it out with 24 seconds still left on the shot clock. Or that Griffin had just performed a two-handed volleyball swat

of a shot on KU’s previous possession. Davis received the pass, took three dribbles, then turned over her left shoulder to put in a short turn-around jumper. It was the first of six straight points for the Jayhawks, whose poise showed down the stretch in an 81-71 victory over No. 22 Oklahoma on Sunday at Allen Fieldhouse. “I knew I had to take over as a senior, as a captain,” Davis said. “I just tried to push my teammates to get me the KANSAS SENIOR FORWARD CAROLYN ball.” DAVIS (21) PUSHES into Nicole Griffin as Please see KU WOMEN, page 3B she makes a move toward the basket.

She set her school’s alltime assists record, made sure she drew the best out of whichever four players were on the floor with her, kept her women’s basketball team playing at a revved-up pace and refused to let it lose. Angel Goodrich did what point guards are born to do in leading Kansas University past Oklahoma, 81-71, because that’s what she always does. And she does it with equal parts style and substance. On Sunday in Allen Fieldhouse, she did it in front of 6,724 spectators, most of them dressed in pink.

Jayhawks ‘Shake’ funk ————

Self says dance video bonding experience for team By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kevin Young, who has been rail-thin since his days as a cross country runner at Perris (Calif.) High, says he has discovered the secret to putting on weight his second and final season at Kansas University. “I just let my ’fro grow,” joked the 6-foot-8 senior basketball power forward, who is listed at 190 pounds but in actuality may tip the scales 10 to 15 pounds below that standard. Somewhat shy around the media, even in this, his senior year, the man with the expansive afro was in a jolly mood after Saturday’s 73-47 home rout of Texas. It

marked the Jayhawks’ second straight victory after three consecutive defeats. Young gladly discussed his role in production of KU’s “Harlem Shake” video, which was filmed in KU’s locker room Friday, and since being posted on YouTube has had more than 450,000 views. “Oh my gosh. I got prepared for that video. I think I bought almost everybody’s costumes,” Young said of wacky costumes and props, such as guitars and hats that can be seen at http://bit.ly/ VoAkOK “When they told me we were going to do it,” Young added of organizer Justin Wesley, “I watched a couple (Harlem Shake) videos. I’d never seen it before. I said, ‘If we’re

going to do this, we’ve got to go all-out. We can’t just do a little half version of it. We’ve got to do it the best we can.’” The Jayhawks’ version of the Shake includes a starring role from coach Bill Self, who begins the video by writing the words “Harlem Shake” on the chalkboard. “I have no idea,” Self said, asked how filming dance videos helps a team. “The guys told me Thursday, ‘Coach, we need you in the locker room at 2 o’clock.’ They wanted me to dance, and that wasn’t going to happen. “Of course, if I knew I could wear a chicken head Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo (like Ben McLemore in video) and nobody knew who I KANSAS’ TRAVIS RELEFORD (24) AND KEVIN YOUNG CELEBRATE a slam by teammate Ben McLemore in the Jayhawks’ 73-47 victory over Texas on Please see HOOPS, page 3B Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse.

Miami Paul stars among All-Stars ekes out Clippers guard passes West to 143-138 win win over Clemson HOUSTON — One week after Chris Paul dazzled a Madison Square Garden crowd and a national television audience with a scintillating game, he put on an even better show on a bigger stage. Paul led the Western Conference All-Stars to a 143-138 victory over the East team Sunday night at Toyota Center. The Clippers point guard earned his first All-Star MVP after finishing with 20 points and 15 assists. Carmelo Anthony led the East with 26 points, nine in the fourth, and 12 rebounds. It was the second double-double in the All-Star Game for Anthony, who wasn’t sure he would play in the All-Star Game after suffering a contusion in his right biceps. He also double-doubled for Denver in 2010. The night started with a performance by Ne-Yo, featured Alicia Keys singing “Empire State of Mind” at halftime, and ended with the West winning for the third straight year. Oklahoma City’s Kevin Durant led all scorers with 30 points. Blake Griffin added 19 points and shot 9-for-11. Dwyane Wade had 21 points for the East and LeBron James 19. Tyson Chandler finished with seven points and eight rebounds in 17 minutes off the bench in his All-Star Game debut. Chandler had a vicious right-handed dunk off a Wade lob pass late in the first half.

WEST TEAM’S CHRIS PAUL OF THE LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS SHOOTS against the East ’s LeBron James of the Miami Heat during the NBA’s All-Star on Sunday in Houston. Nets center Brook Lopez had three points and five rebounds in 11 minutes in his first All-Star appearance. Paul was terrific all night as a distributor, but he picked up his scoring in the tight fourth quarter. Paul had nine points and two assists in the final period. After the West took a 119-109 lead on a Tony Parker runner with 9:15 left, Chandler converted a three-point play. Kyrie Irving, the three-point-contest winner, then knocked down

back-to-back corner threes to bring the East within 119-118 with 7:35 to go. It stayed that way until a Durant driving dunk about a minute later. Later, Durant had another slam, followed by a Griffin alley-oop dunk that put the West up 127-120. Anthony tried to lead the East back. He scored on two straight trips to make it 129-126 with 3:52 left. But the West scored seven unanswered, capped by a Durant dunk with 2:34 remaining that put the East in a 136-126 hole. After two Anthony free throws, Paul gave the West a 139-128 lead with a three-pointer. The East charged back behind two threes by Paul and one by Anthony that made it 142-138 with 23 seconds remaining. Paul closed out the scoring with a foul shot on the West’s next trip.

Merrick earns first PGA win LOS ANGELES — John Merrick was a young face in the crowd for so many years, dreaming of one day play at Riviera on the PGA Tour. On Sunday, he did better than that. He won it. Merrick hit two clutch shots that led to par in a sudden-death playoff and won the Northern Trust Open on Sunday when Charlie Beljan missed a five-foot par putt on the second extra hole. It was the first PGA Tour win for Merrick, who went to school at UCLA.

DAYTONA BEACH, FLA. — Danica Patrick has made history before — as a woman and a racer, in Indianapolis and Japan. The spotlight is nothing new. But never has it been this bright before. Patrick won the Daytona 500 pole Sunday, becoming the first woman to secure the top spot for any race in NASCAR’s premier circuit. It’s by far the biggest achievement of her stock-car career. “I was brought up to be the fastest driver, not the fastest girl,” she said. “That was instilled in me from very young, from the beginning. Then I feel like thriving in those moments, where the pressure’s on, has also been a help for me. I also feel like I’ve been lucky in my career to be with good teams and have good people around me. I don’t think any of it would have been possible without that. “For those reasons, I’ve been lucky enough to make history, be the first woman to do many things. I really just hope that I don’t stop doing that. We have a lot more history to make. We are excited to do it.” Her latest stamp in the history books came with a lap at 196.434 mph around Daytona International Speedway. Patrick went out eighth in the qualifying session, then had to wait about two hours as 37 fellow drivers tried to take her spot. The rest of the field for next week’s seasonopening Daytona 500 will be set in duel qualifying races Thursday.

Nadal wins 1st title since return SAO PAULO — Rafael Nadal beat David Nalbandian 6-2, 6-3 in the Brazil Open final on Sunday, winning his first title since returning from a seven-month layoff to treat his left knee. Nadal thrust his arms into the air and pumped his fist after a long ball by Nalbandian made him the champion of the indoor clay-court tournament for the second time. The Spaniard also won the event in 2005. It was Nadal’s first title since winning the French Open for the seventh time last June.

Azarenka tops Serena at Qatar DOHA, QATAR — Defending champion Victoria Azarenka beat Serena Williams 7-6 (6), 2-6, 6-3 to win the Qatar Open on Sunday, earning her 16th title and ending a 10-match losing streak against the American. Azarenka will give up the No. 1 ranking to Williams on Monday but extended her current winning streak to 14 matches, including her second Australian Open title. More importantly, she may have turned around what has been a one-sided rivalry against Williams. Azarenka had not beaten Williams since 2009 in Miami, and had a 1-11 record against the American going into Sunday’s final.

Davis’ basket came at a time when KU’s play was starting to waver, as OU used an 18-6 run to close the deficit to 60-53. Earlier in the week, the Jayhawks had come back from a 23-point deficit to win at TCU, and Davis knew a game’s fortunes could turn quickly when a trailing team gained confidence. In a previous timeout, KU coach Bonnie Henrickson challenged her players not to lose their aggressiveness — just before Davis followed through on those words. “She wanted the ball,” Henrickson said, “and she wanted to go make a move.” On an afternoon Angel Goodrich set the school’s career-assists record with 10 — pushing her total to 687 assists, which broke the previous mark of 686 held by Lisa Braddy — Davis was KU’s best offensive option. The 6-foot-3 forward led KU with 24 points on 10-for-17 shooting while contributing 18 of the Jayhawks’ 46 points in the paint. “We need her to do that every single game, to step up and be the big that we need her to be,” Goodrich said. “That’s what she did. I’m proud of her.” The formula was simple

The victory was KU’s second against a ranked opponent this year. The Jayhawks also defeated then-No. 22 Iowa State, 78-75 in overtime, on Jan. 30 at Allen Fieldhouse. The victory also provided KU (16-8 overall, 7-6 Big 12) with a résumé boost in its case to make the NCAA Tournament for a second consecutive year.

Trapped under KU’s hoop, Goodrich threaded a beauty of a pass to CeCe Harper near midcourt, leading her perfectly for an uncontested layup that put KU up 10 points with 54 seconds left. The record was announced, but Goodrich couldn’t make out what was said. “When the horn went off and we won, that was the best moment,” Henrickson said. “The second-best moment was, she said, ‘I did what? What did I do?’ That’s how the kid plays. She didn’t have any idea. She said, ‘I thought somebody put something on Twitter, but I’m not on Twitter.’ I said, ‘Stay off Twitter. You don’t need to be on Twitter.’” Goodrich helped Kansas play Sunday the way it did last March when she was trending on Twitter after leading the Jayhawks to an NCAA Tournament

upset victory against Delaware. Goodrich’s mother, father and brother were at Sunday’s game. “I look to them sometimes,” Goodrich said. “They’ll just say a mumble or anything. I know what they’re saying. They’ll give me a look, and I know what it is. It’s just little things that we have. I’m glad they were here. I love the support.” Goodrich also praised the support of the crowd for which she played so relentlessly. Still, I wonder how she would play in front of a full house in Allen Fieldhouse. She has just two more games there. Those who haven’t seen her play need to circle either this coming Sunday’s noon game or a Tuesday, March 5, 7 p.m. tipoff against TCU. Those local basketball fans who haven’t seen her play have two choices: Attend one of those two games, or spend the rest of their lives wishing they had.

Jayhawks’ Potee 18th at FSU golf tourney J-W Staff Reports

TALLAHASSEE, FLA. — Kansas University junior Meghan Potee shot a 2-over-par 74 and finished tied for 18th individually with a three-round score

of 225 to lead KU at the inaugural Florida State Match-Up women’s golf tournament Sunday at SouthWood Golf Club. KU finished 10th in the 12-team field. Georgia won the team

KU baseball downs Nevada, 6-3 J-W Staff Reports

MESA, ARIZ. — Sophomore Michael Suiter went 2-for-4 with an RBI and scored the go-ahead run in the seventh inning, hustling home from second base on an infield hit as Kansas University baseball rallied from an early deficit to down Nevada, 6-3, Sunday at Hohokam Park. The Jayhawks (2-1)

have used late-game heroics in both of their victories over the Wolf Pack this weekend. Junior Jordan Piché picked up his first victory, pitching in relief of starter Thomas Taylor. Piché and the Jayhawk bullpen held Nevada scoreless on five hits in 72⁄3 innings of work over the weekend. Taylor went 62⁄3 in-

nings, allowing two earned runs on nine hits with no walks and five strikeouts. The teams will conclude the series at 1 p.m. today. Nevada Kansas

was, I might have done it. I didn’t know what the Harlem Shake was. They asked me to do whatever I did, which I’m sure added a lot of value,” Self added with a laugh. “I do think it kind of shows team unity, and the other thing (is), I think our fans like seeing that our guys are real. I think that’s as much as anything it does for us.” Of course, other dance videos have appeared featuring the Jayhawks in the locker room, such as one filmed after the Ohio State victory and available at http://bit.ly/Vy5ovz “It’s huge,” Self said of the importance of players having fun. “There’s not a team in America that has fun every time they go play. You go through ruts and lose your personality through the course of the season, at least every team we’ve had. Ours (funk) came at an inopportune time. We were duds three games. I think we got our personality back. When we play with energy, we are good. When we don’t, we get average fast. That’s the thing we have to learn.” The Jayhawks this past weekend received a jolt of energy from past Jayhawks on hand for the Texas game. They included NBA players Mario Chalmers, Marcus and Markieff Morris, Thomas Robinson, Tyshawn Taylor, Nick Collison and Xavier Henry, as well as Jeff Graves, Mario Little, Conner Teahan, Brady Morningstar, Jeff Hawkins and Wayne Simien. “They text us every now and then,” senior center Jeff Withey said. “The older guys don’t give us a pep talk or anything. We know what we’ve got to do, but it’s definitely good to have them back. They are our old teammates. You want to perform for those guys.” Seeing them, “gives you a good feeling that shoots through your body,” noted senior Elijah Johnson. “In

| 3B

the locker room, you can’t deny it.” Noted senior Young: “They let us know we’ve got to come out and do what Kansas does. They did it before us. It’s our time now. It’s more a support thing. They didn’t put pressure on us. At the end of the day, we’re all Kansas.” Self loves when former players return to town for games. “These are kids they grew up with,” Self said. “Thomas ... he was a roommate with (Johnson) for three years, and Tyshawn kind of mentored him. The twins, Mario Little, Brady … all of them care about these kids. I text Tyshawn the other day after he had 12 (points for NBA’s Brooklyn Nets). He texts me back. I said, ‘We’ve got to get Elijah going.’ He said, ‘I know, coach. I’m talking to him.’ These guys stay in contact. I think having those guys back will help him a little bit.” KU will meet Oklahoma State at 8 p.m. Wednesday at Gallagher-Iba Arena in Stillwater, Okla. Randle visit: Julius Randle, a 6-9 senior from Prestonwood Christian Academy in Plano, Texas, who arrived for his campus visit Saturday, remained in town Sunday. Randle, who has a final list of KU, Florida, Texas, Kentucky, N.C. State and Oklahoma, could be added to the roster of the McDonald’s AllAmerica game if he shows he’s healthy in the next few weeks, zagsblog.net reports. He has returned to action from a foot fracture. Randle scored 19 points while playing just 20 minutes in his Senior Day game at Prestonwood on Friday. “What we’ll certainly do with Julius — one of the great players in the country, no question, a legitimate four-year man — we’ll take a real good look and see how he comes back physically,” Morgan Wootten of the McDonald’s game told SNY.tv. “That’s the key. Everybody knows he can play. It’s just a question of whether he’s physically sound or not.”

Mom would probably die within hours, my sister stopped by and then left for a week’s planned vacation. We postponed the funeral until she returned, and she showed up to the visitation in a souvenir Tshirt. After the funeral, Sis, as executor, didn’t want my brother or me to go through Mom’s possessions. Instead, she had an auction, and we had to bid on closed boxes. Many of the things we know belonged to Mom did not show up, and somehow, my sister’s name got on the deed to the family farm.

Dear Annie: Our daughter, “Mattie,” is 42 years old. She has been married for 10 years and has two school-age children. Due to her husband’s work transfers, Mattie twice was left alone with the children for several months while she tried to sell the house and her husband moved to the new location. The first time it happened, things worked out OK, but the second time, Mattie started drinking quite heavily. We didn’t find out until she had seizures, lost a lot of weight and ended up in the hospital close to death with severe liver damage. She pulled out of it, but now we worry that she might be in the same situation. Her husband doesn’t seem to recognize the problem. As parents, do we get involved? If so, do we confront Mattie or talk to her husband? — Terrified for Our Daughter Dear Terrified: Please

REPAIR A BATHTUB TRIP LEVER

f the trip lever on your bathtub has stopped working or if water slowly leaks down the drain when the tub is full, repairing or replacing the linkage and plunger behind the trip lever may solve the problem. Step 1: Remove the two screws from the trip lever faceplate to free the faceplate from the overflow tube. Step 2: Gently pull the face plate away from the tub. If the linkage is still attached to the backside of the face plate, the linkage and plunger should pull up and out of the overflow tube without too much difficulty. Step 3: If the linkage has broken away from the trip lever, set the face plate aside. Use a claw-type extension tool or a wire with a small hook at the end to fish the linkage and plunger out from inside the overflow tube.

Step 4: Clean the plunger and linkage with steel wool and a de-liming cleaner such as CLR or vinegar. If the plunger looks worn or the linkage is broken, replace the entire mechanism with a new assembly. Step 5: Replace the old overflow gasket with a new one. The overflow gasket is located between the back of the bathtub and the front of the overflow tube. Scrape away all remnants of the old gasket before installing the new gasket. Position the new gasket on the front of the overflow tube, with the thicker portion of the gasket toward the bottom to compensate for the slope of the tub wall. Step 6: Attach the plunger to the linkage and attach the linkage to the trip lever. The linkage is typically attached to the trip lever with a small cotter pin. Slip the

pin through the back of the trip lever and bend one or both of its sides up to hold the linkage in place. Step 7: Adjust the length of the assembly by turning the threaded rod at the top of the linkage. Step 8: Feed the plunger and the linkage assembly down into the overflow tube and press the faceplate into place. Step 9: Raise and lower the trip lever to test the functionality. Step 10: Fill the bathtub with enough water to test the seal of the plunger. Adjust the plunger height until a proper seal is achieved. Step 11: Insert and tighten the faceplate screws to complete the job. — Linda Cottin can be reached at go@ljworld.com.

HANGING WITH HUCK FINN IN HANNIBAL

n Hannibal, Mo., you’ll find the spirit of Mark Twain, who penned the classics “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” and “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,” is very much alive. Ernest Hemingway said that Huck Finn “was the one book from which all modern American literature came.” There’s something magical about making the great American road trip from Lawrence to the place nicknamed “America’s Hometown.”

NANCY PISTORIUS

DAYTRIPPER Hannibal’s most famous son, Samuel Langhorne Clemens, used a variety of pen names throughout the years, including Thomas Jefferson Snodgrass, before finally settling on Mark Twain, which is a riverboat term measuring two fathoms (12 feet) in depth. In Clemens’ day, that depth meant “safe water” for riverboats. Today “Mark Twain” is famous not only for his books, but also for his pithy quips on just about every subject imaginable — you can see some of these witty quotes in The Mark Twain Boyhood Home and Museum. “Be good and you will be lonesome.” When Sam was four, his family moved to Hannibal from his birthplace of Florida, Mo. (about 30 miles southwest), and lived there until he was 17. Many of the colorful characters featured in Sam’s novels were based upon people Sam knew while growing up in this scenic river town, and many of the events in his books were based on his boyhood escapades, so Hannibal was where all the beloved stories started. And what better education could the budding literary genius have gotten than growing up in a place rife with jumping frogs, romantic-looking riverboats and dark, mysterious caves? Throw the dead body of a murdered man into the mix — Sam once woke up on the floor of his father’s office to find himself lying next to the corpse — and it’s no wonder the young author’s imagination later ran wild. The character Becky Thatcher was based upon Sam’s childhood sweetheart, Laura Hawkins. The Becky Thatcher House, currently under renovation, is scheduled to reopen later this year, and you can also visit Becky’s Old-Fashioned Ice Cream Parlor and Emporium on Main Street for a variety of sweet concoctions during the summer.

THE MARK TWAIN BOYHOOD HOME & MUSEUM, above, contains unique Clemens family artifacts. AT RIGHT, Twain’s stories about Tom Sawyer and Becky Thatcher come alive in Mark Twain Cave. “The proverb says that Providence protects children and idiots. This is really true. I know because I have tested it.” Start your visit to Hannibal at the Mark Twain Museum Interpretive Center, which contains interactive exhibits that fascinate youngsters as they follow young Sam on his rambles around Hannibal. It’s particularly interesting to see which of the town’s places he later transformed into stories. The Huckleberry Finn Home is a reconstruction of the Blankenship family’s cabin. Young Tom Blankenship was Sam’s neighbor and partner in mischief-making, and the inspiration for the character of Huck. Nearby you’ll find a gift shop selling old-fashioned toys, card games (great for the car ride back to Lawrence), dice games, Jacob’s ladders, kits for making oldfashioned clothespin dolls and a wide variety of Mark Twain books. You can also go inside the Justice of the Peace office where Sam’s father, John Marshall Clemens (who inspired the stern character of Judge Thatcher) practiced

law, and where scenes are now set up from Mark Twain’s Life on the Mississippi, depicting the aforementioned dead body incident. “My mother had a great deal of trouble with me, but I think she enjoyed it.” Jane Clemens, Sam’s mother, was the model for Aunt Polly, the woman who once ordered young Tom Sawyer to whitewash a fence as punishment for his pranks. Of course, wily Tom used reverse psychology on his friends by telling them that painting the fence was so much fun that he wouldn’t let them do it even if they paid him. Soon he was watching them all do his work for him, even paying for the “privilege.” Today, “Tom Sawyer’s fence” stands

freshly whitewashed in Hannibal’s historic district, on the western banks of the Mississippi River. “Hannibal has had a hard time of it ever since I can recollect, and I was ‘raised’ there. First, it had me for a citizen, but I was too young then to really hurt the place.” A visit to Hannibal is not complete without checking out the Mark Twain Museum Gallery, with hands-on exhibits for kids, including a riverboat’s wheel that you can steer and a steamboat whistle that lets out a mighty sound when you pull on the rope; artifacts, like Twain’s white jacket, Oxford gown, top hat, pocket watch and pipe; and 15 original Norman Rockwell paintings of Tom and Huck. There’s also the Mark Twain Cave, where Sam found bats to take home to his unappreciative mother; the Mark Twain Riverboat, in operation April through October; and the many unique shops, art galleries and restaurants along downtown Main Street. — Nancy Pistorius can be reached at go@ljworld.com.

Putting pencil to paper Writing workshops help 1st-graders get started on storytelling BY SARA SHEPHERD

f first-grade creative writing were a language, it would be an obscure one. And Gini Shoulberg would be fluent. The nekes stashun. My fimliy luv miu. The wepuns. Under Shoulberg’s direction, hand-penciled passages like these are carefully translated into comprehensible nuggets and, eventually, strung together into stories. The next station. My family loves me. The weapons... For more than a decade, the first-grade language arts teacher at St. John Catholic School has led weekly writing workshops for all the school’s first-graders. While spelling and punctuation are important, she says, children don’t need to wait to master those skills before they start writing. “I feel that it is really important for young children to feel free to write … that they feel comfortable putting their thoughts on paper,” Shoulberg says. After all, sometimes — even for the pros — the hardest part about writing is the process: What do I write about? How do I start? How do I wrestle what’s in my head onto the page? How do I make sure it makes sense to someone else? On top of all that, feeling “bombarded” by spelling and grammar rules can make writing a first-draft intimidating, Shoulberg says. In her Monday afternoon workshops, kids can write about whatever they want. Shoulberg, her fellow first-

When one story is complete, students can start on their next ones, enabling everyone to work at his or her own pace.

STUDENTS’ STORY TIME A few of the stories first-graders were working on during a recent Monday afternoon writing workshop at St. John Catholic School:

MY BUDDY JACOB, BY HENRY KELLY My buddy, Jacob and I like to play volleyball. We also like to play foursquare and ball tag. We do lots of stuff together. We both like it!

MY FAMILY, BY BRYNN CORDOVA My family loves me. I love my family, too. It is fun to love family. It is fun to love my family.

himself and laughs: “Oh, that doesn’t make sense!” He and Mach work together to pick the right words and form sentences that do make sense. Jude says he likes writing, but “only at this time Monday.” Classmate Henry Kelly, busy illustrating the cover of “My Buddy Jacob” at the next table, says he thinks writing is fun. “I’ve never actually wrote a story before I started first grade — I mean, I’ve tried to, but I really haven’t,” Henry says. “Nobody knew what actually I was writing.”

CHERRY PIE, BY AUBREY AUGUSTINE

Saint John School is cool. Saint John School is the best. Saint John School is the big school. The kids in the Saint John School are usually Catholic.

Mach, a Lawrence resident and author, has been helping children in Shoulberg’s workshops for eight years. “Their minds are so fresh, they just will absorb things,” Mach says. St. John principal Pat Newton says Shoulberg can look at a child’s handwritten passage that makes no sense to anyone else and know exactly what the child is trying to say. First-graders vary widely on their writing skill level, Newton says, and the workshops are a great way to meet each student’s needs at his or her own pace. “The kids that can just barely put

down words, they’re successful. And the kids who can write fluently, they’re successful,” Newton says. Each student has an “About the author” poster in the hallway, and their latest works are pinned beneath them for all to see. Newton sees that as icing on the cake for first-graders getting the chance to express their dreams, thoughts and experiences on paper. “You always want to tell your stories,” she says. — Features reporter Sara Shepherd can be reached at 832-7187.

The key to organization is to maintain it. My parents constantly preached to put everything back where you got it. Granted, I just recently took those words to heart, but better late than never. EMILY KENNEDY

Spring closet cleaning I

’ve found that a neatly organized closet can change your life. Well not really, but it’s close. Trying to throw together an outfit in the morning can be quite the challenge, especially if your clothes, shoes and accessories are jumbled together in a mess you call your closet. My problem is that I, unfortunately, don’t have a spacious walk-in closet, so I’ve had to be creative with organizing my wardrobe. Storage containers thrown underneath my bed tend to stay there and never come out until I finally realize they were there in the first place. I also lack space and have too many clothes, so I found a way to incorporate my wardrobe as part of my décor rather than hide it. Here are some tips to tidy your own wardrobes and ditch the chaotic closet forever. CATEGORIZE YOUR CLOTHES Organizing your clothes based on category will not only help you find pieces quickly, but it will instantly transform your messy wardrobe to an immaculate wardrobe. Group together your coats, jackets, tops, skirts, jeans, pants and shorts. DISPLAY YOUR SHOES Not all of us have a glorious walk-in closet complete with a crystal chandelier, let alone built-in shoe racks. After years of throwing my shoes in bins underneath my bed, I’ve found that they not only get lost but also get scratched and scuffed, which is not a pretty sight.

I recently bought a simple bookcase to display my beloved shoe collection. This may sound silly at first, but it can actually add some creative flair to a room. You could even look for a vintage bookcase from a thrift store, or garage sale as a cheaper option. My trick is that I only display my most coveted pairs and throw my ill-fated footwear that I have yet to part with into my closet or storage ottomans.

robe into your perfect little (or big) fashion haven, returning each piece to its place will save you the agony of searching for that missing shoe or whatever it may be.

REARRANGE ACCESSORIES

A CUTE JEWELRY HOLDER, AT RIGHT, keeps accessories in view and makes for a nice display. DISPLAYING SHOES on a bookshelf, above, puts them in plain sight and keeps them from getting scuffed.

Note to self: Do not throw your jewelry in bags. Yes, I used to do this, and yes, I learned my lesson. When I was in college, I bought a corkboard and some push pins to hang my lightweight necklaces and bracelets. Now that I actually care about the appearance of my apartment, I’ve found cute and affordable jewelry organizers from craft stores that, again, can be set out for your guests to see. You might even already own unique bowls, or, my personal favorite, vases just waiting to house your rings. As for your sunglasses, simply use a hanger and hang them side by side if you don’t want to purchase an organizer specifically for your sunnies. The same goes for your pashminas. A hanger awaits your stylish scarves! GET ORGANIZED AND STAY ORGANIZED The key to organization is to maintain it. My parents constantly preached to put everything back where you got it. Granted, I just recently took those words to heart, but better late than never. Once you have organized your ward-

Online beau may not be as he appears Dear Dr. Wes and Katie: I’ve been dating a guy for two years. Now I’ve met someone through an online game, and I think we’re in love. I want to go and meet him in person, but my friends say that I’m dumb to break up with someone I know for someone I don’t know. Katie: The problem here isn’t that you’re considering breaking up with your boyfriend to start a relationship with someone you don’t know; it’s that you’re considering starting a relationship with someone you don’t know. That sounds like a subtle difference, but this situation wouldn’t be any less troubling if you were single. If you’ve fallen out of love with your current boyfriend, don’t feel obligated to stay in the relationship just because of the history the two of you have built together. Since your friends already know about your doubts, it probably won’t be long before news of your online love interest reaches your boyfriend’s ears. It will be best if those words come from your lips, not the grapevine. I hope that as a couple you can determine the next step in your relationship, be it sticking together or parting ways. However, even if you do decide to break it off, I caution you against setting up an in-person date with your gaming friend. When hanging out in the virtual world with people you meet online — even particularly charismatic people who make your heart spark like an overheating computer — avoid revealing information (your full name, for instance) that could identify you with a Google search. Online anonymity can be both useful and dangerous. As we’ve seen recently with Manti Te’o and the girlfriend he thought was real, it’s frighteningly easy to create a convincing online persona using falsified personal information and a soothing dose of charm. The boy you’ve met in

Double TAKE DR. WES CRENSHAW AND KATIE GUYOT the virtual world might be exactly who he says he is — but then again, he might be 10, 20, 30 years older than his purported age, or he might be the right age but have the wrong intentions. Unless you have a trusted mutual friend or some other reliable intermediary who can vouch for his real-world character, you cannot trust that you’ll be safe. Love may be blind, but sexual predators are not: Fall in love with your eyes wide open. Dr. Wes: The virtual world really isn’t that virtual any more. It’s pretty much as real as the one we walk through each day. Most of us have been fooled by a prospective dating partner at one time or another, whether we met them online or at a party. Whether that risk is actually greater online is questionable, but as Katie notes, it’s a lot easier to keep up a false identity on the Internet. I’m with your friends on this one. Some of the best relationships I’ve ever seen came about via online dating, and some of the very worst, most absolutely, unbelievably scary ones came from online chat rooms.

What’s the difference? Dating sites are designed for introduction, not relationship building. While some, like eHarmony, help people through the first steps of getting to know one another, nobody on a dating site falls in love with an online profile. Why would they? Chat rooms and gaming sites are a different matter. They create teams and friendships and yes, even love affairs, all without any clear intent. I doubt you got on your gaming site and thought, “Wow, I wonder who I could crush on here?” Yet that seems to happen all too often. In addition to gaming, people coalesce around political action, “Fifty Shades of Grey,” alien abduction, the environment, conspiracy theories, Taylor Swift. You name it, and social media has a group for it. All that connection with like-minded folks creates a sense of bonding, just like in the real world. When you’re online, however, you have very few context clues about the person’s real identity, motives and intentions, and all those variables can be easily masked. So taking the relationship out of cyberspace pretty much violates everything that’s great about it in the first place. I differ from Katie a bit in that I think the real danger in this relationship is that it distracts you from the one you’re really in. Most of those awful online affairs I mentioned ended marriages or solid working relationships. While you’re young and have every right to explore new horizons, do so ethically and with some thought to the consequences. — Wes Crenshaw, Ph.D., ABPP, is author of “Dear Dr. Wes: Real Life Advice for Teens” and “Real Life Advice for Parents of Teens.” Katie Guyot is a Free State High School senior.
