Brownback focuses on ‘crisis of the family’ in 2nd inaugural

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — Gov. Sam Brownback used his second inaugural address Monday to focus on social and religious issues, declaring that America suffers from a “crisis of the family.”

“If we are honest, we have to admit there is a crisis of the family in our country. In my view this is a principle issue that must be addressed for us to move forward,” Brownback wrote in a prepared version of the speech, which was released to the media before his address.

The speech came on the opening day of the

In his speech Monday, the governor acknowledged that the state faces economic challenges, say-

Topeka — Kansas Senate President Susan Wagle said Monday that she’s willing to look at all options, including the possibility of rolling back some tax cuts enacted in previous years, to address the state’s mounting budget crisis.

And the chairman of the Senate Education Committee said he plans to introduce a bill to revamp the Kansas school finance formula.

Those were just some of the developments as Kansas lawmakers officially convened the 2015 legislative session in Topeka.

Kansas lawmakers start session amid budget crisis, schoolday finance lawsuit First

By Peter Hancock

You never know what type of question may become important at Lawrence City Hall.

The one on the minds of several top city officials currently: How many companies are interested in building a multimillion-dollar sewage treatment plant for Lawrence?

City commissioners at their meeting this evening are expected to approve a process for accepting bids from companies that want to build what is expected to be a $65 million to $70 million sewage treatment plant south of the Wakarusa CITY River. Bids are expected to COMMISSION be opened Feb. 17. When they are, city officials will have a better understanding of whether the massive project will come in on budget. Currently, city utility department leaders aren’t sure what type of building environment the plant will face.

“We’re asking that question every day,” said Dave Wagner, the city’s director of utilities. “It is kind of like asking your broker what stocks to buy. Everybody has a different opinion about the market right now.”

Wagner said the market for building large infrastructure a couple of years ago was very competitive, as the number of projects had begun to slow. But now, an improving economy has work more plentiful, and no one is sure what that will mean for the cost of the project.

“There is not a firm that does this type of construction work in every town, but we have our fingers crossed that there will be a lot of companies interested in building this one,” Wagner said.

The project has been years in the making, and some work already is underway. About 400,000 cubic yards of fill dirt have been added to the site, which is at a location the city is labeling 41st and O’Connell Road. The 538acre site is immediately south of the Wakarusa River where O’Connell Road dead-ends at the river.

Crews also currently are burying 16-inch and 24-inch force mains that will carry sewage from the area near 31st and Louisiana streets to the sewage treatment site.

Wagner hopes to have the entire project done by

North Lawrence project completed North Lawrence residents may not have noticed it, but Friday was an important day for that part of the city.

Construction crews completed a $5.6 million project that ran a new waterline underneath the Kansas River and into North Lawrence. Previously, the only waterline that ran from the city’s water treatment plant into North Lawrence was a single 16-inch line that is connected to the underside of the Kansas River bridges in downtown.

Those lines had begun the third quarter of 2017.

When completed, it will be able to treat about 2.5 million gallons of sewage on an ordinary day. But during wet weather events, it can temporarily handle up to 12.5 million gallons of sewage treatment per day.

Much of that sewage will come from West Lawrence.

Currently, sewage in West Lawrence travels to the city’s lone sewage treatment plant near Eighth and Delaware streets on the eastern edge of Lawrence.

But Wagner said that plant is near capacity, especially during heavy rains.

The existing plant will

Most recently he was an independent consultant after having retired from Westar Energy in 1997 as Executive Director of Transmission Engineering. Previously he held electrical engineering leadership positions in Kansas City at Board of Public Utilities, Burns & McDonnell, Black & Veatch, and Bendix.

He was a past member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, the Power Engineering Society, Electric Power Research Institute Transmission Substation Task Force and the Edison Electric Institute Committee serving as Chairman of the Transmission Engineering Task Force.

to leak in recent years and created worries about how North Lawrence would have access to drinking water if that line had to be removed from service for a repair, said Dave Wagner, the city’s director of utilities.

The new project has solved that issue with a 36-inch line — the largest waterline in the city — that runs 70 feet below the water level of the Kansas River. The city used a special type of PVC pipe that is molecularly fused to prevent the likelihood of leaks. remain in operation, but the new plant will relieve the strain that currently is placed on the facility.

The new plant will be significantly smaller than the existing plant, treating 2.5 million gallons compared with about 12.5 million gallons for the existing plant.

Wagner, though, said the new plant will treat the sewage to a significantly higher level. The new plant will use additional steps to take phosphorus and ammonia out of the waste water before it is released into the Wakarusa River.

Wagner said federal regulators are insisting on

the higher treatment standards. He said the city’s existing plant in eastern Lawrence eventually will have to be upgraded to meet those standards. He estimates that likely will need to be done by 2023.

The new plant will be paid for through rate increases that already have begun to show up on customers’ bills. In 2013, commissioners approved a new five-year rate plan that increases water and sewer rates by 5 percent to 7 percent a year, depending on the type of user you are. Rates are scheduled to increase by that amount each year through 2017 to pay for the plant and a host of other water and sewer projects.

Wagner said the fiveyear plan has been a critical piece to setting the city up to accommodate future growth. Sewer and water treatment capacities are major considerations in how much population a city can add in future years.

“I think Lawrence will be in an envious position compared to a lot of places,” Wagner said. “We’ll have done a lot in terms of treatment capacity, but also we’re doing a lot to improve the condition of the infrastructure that is in place.”

Commissioners meet at 5:45 p.m. today at Lawrence City Hall.

Rankings CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

to have a love letter to David Beaty tattooed on their foreheads. But I would guess that some community leaders still find it irksome that several of our peer communities rank quite a bit higher than Lawrence.

They include: Iowa City, No. 5; College Station, Texas, No. 8; Columbia, Mo, No. 11 after having been ranked No. 1 in 2013; Ames, Iowa, No. 14; and Waco, Texas, No. 21. Those are all college towns, but high rankings weren’t just reserved for college communities. St. Joseph, Mo., an industrial town that has built up a hub of animal science companies, ranked No. 16.

This study looks at a variety of statistics related to job growth, wage growth and several measures of high-tech firms that are located in a community.

Lawrence has talked a lot about wanting to be a community that has a significant presence in the high-tech world, so these rankings really are measuring the type of community we want to be.

The number that gives reason for optimism is the short-term job numbers from 2013 to 2014. We ranked No. 17 out of 179.

The numbers that continue to grate on people the most probably are the wage growth numbers.

The expectation is that Lawrence’s status as a highly educated community has to start translating into higher wages at some point.

Thus far, all of our wage growth numbers are in the lower half of the study.

As for other cities in the study: Topeka ranked No. 102. Manhattan was just small enough population-wise that it was not part of the study.

Fargo, N.D., was the top ranked small metro area.

The Milken Institute also conducted a separate ranking for 200 larger cities. Kansas City finished No. 77, while Wichita was ranked No. 154. San Francisco was the top ranked large city.

As for the study’s authors, The Milken Institute indeed was founded by convicted junk bond felon Michael Milken, but its studies have been pretty well-regarded as being worthwhile research.

The second study that mentions Lawrence has to do with the “livability” of Lawrence. The folks at the Web site Livability. com have released their Top 100 Best Places to Live ranking for “small to mid-sized cities.”

Lawrence ranks No. 74 on the list. The study’s authors looked at about 2,000 cities with populations between 20,000 and 350,000 people. The study looks at a variety of factors about schools, housing, crime rates, income levels, health care and other such factors. The report notes Lawrence’s strong economic sectors of education, agriculture, finance, and government and scientific research. It also highlights Lawrence’s “vibrant art and music scene.”

Lawrence was one of three Kansas communities on the list. Overland Park was No. 17 and Manhattan was No. 70.

A first since ’66: no female statewide politicians

Just in passing

BRIEFLY Man suspected of indecent liberties Lawrence police arrested a 39-year-old Eudora man Friday on suspicion of aggravated indecent liberties with a child.

The man is accused of touching a 10-year-old between January and May of 2010 in Douglas County, according to court documents.

He was released from the Douglas County Jail on Saturday after he posted a $25,000 bond using a Lawrence bond company.

The booking log listed the man as a resident of Platte City, Mo. However, court documents list a Eudora address for him.

Further information will not be available until his first appearance in Douglas County Court on Jan. 20.

Less winter wheat being produced Wichita — Growers in Kansas and across the nation have seeded far fewer acres of winter wheat for harvest this year.

A report released Monday by the National Agricultural Statistics Service shows a 5 percent drop in U.S. winter wheat acres compared with a year ago, with 40.5 million acres seeded.

Most of that acreage is hard red winter wheat, the class most commonly seeded in Kansas. Nationwide hard red acres total 29.5 million acres.

Kansas remains the nation’s biggest wheat producer with 9.4 million acres planted for harvest in 2015. That is a 2 percent decrease from a year ago.

Texas growers put in 5.9 million acres of wheat, followed by Oklahoma with 5.1 million acres.

Winter wheat is seeded in the fall and harvested in late spring or early summer.

Study: Many students want to bike, walk to school

By Elliot Hughes Twitter: @elliothughes12

About 15 percent of K-8 students in Lawrence public and private schools walk or bike between home and school, which is practically identical to the nationwide rate. But there is a sizable demand among students to do more of it, area health officials said Monday.

At the Lawrence school board meeting Monday, members of the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department presented a sampling of the data collected for the Safe Routes to School project, an initiative taken up by several Lawrence groups to make school

routes more accessible by foot or bicycle.

The public is invited to a larger info session at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday at the West Middle School cafeteria, 2700 Harvard Road.

Health officials will divulge more results from this first data collection and ask for community feedback during the 90-minute event.

In the data revealed Monday, more than 30 percent of students who live two miles from their school have asked their parents if they could walk or bike to class.

The rate of interest gets higher the closer students are to their school. More than 60 percent of students who live less than a halfmile from school have asked to

walk or bike.

“That was a little surprising,” said Charlie Bryan, the health department’s community health planner, referring to the demand among students. “There are a lot of kids that really want to do this.

There’s a definite demand or interest from the children.”

In other business Monday, the board learned that the district had fallen short of its projected enrollment increase for the 201415 school year. Officials believed an extra 220 students were going to join the district’s brick-andmortar schools this year.

But according to an official headcount taken in late September, only 41 had.

Topeka (ap) — Kansas doesn’t have a single woman holding an elected statewide office for the first time since 1966.

When Insurance Commissioner Sandy Praeger left office Monday, it left men in charge of every statewide office.

While some bemoan the situation, calling it a setback for women, others think it’s just an aberration, saying the three women who ran for statewide office in November likely lost because they were Democrats facing GOP incumbents, not because of their sex. They also note that Kansas has a sitting congresswoman, U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins, and Susan Wagle as the state Senate’s first female president.

Five other states — Georgia, Louisiana, Tennessee, Utah and Virginia — also have no women holding a statewide office this year, according to the Center of American Women and Politics at Rutgers University.

The change is a shift in Kansas’ recent political makeup. Less than 20 years ago, five women were serving in statewide elected office in Kansas: Nancy Kassebaum, Sheila Frahm, Carla Please see OFFICE, page 4A

2 more file for City Commission, bringing total to 11 Business owner critical of spending decisions

By Chad Lawhorn Twitter: @clawhorn_ljw

The owner of a Lawrence janitorial service has filed for a seat on the City Commission and said he wants to rein in some city spending and regulations.

Gary Williams, an owner of Flo’s Laundry & Janitorial Services, said he’s questioned the City Commission’s spending decisions both with the new $18 million public library expansion that was approved by voters and a proposed $28 million police headquarters project that failed at the polls in November.

Williams said both projects had their mer-

its, but he said they weren’t yet ready to move forward.

“It just wasn’t the right Williams time,” Williams said. “We are coming out of a recession, and now we just want to go deeper and deeper into debt.”

Williams said he also has been concerned about the amount of regulation that exists in City Hall. Williams said he was considering opening a food truck business in Lawrence, but dropped the idea as he watched the City Commission cre-

ate new regulations for food trucks.

“I think the city has been going in the wrong direction,” Williams said.

“I don’t want it to end up like Detroit. I think the regulation has gone overboard.”

Williams, 52, has been in Lawrence for the last 10 years. He and his wife moved here from Texas when they took a job opportunity with Community Living Opportunities, an organization that helps the disabled. About three years ago, the couple opened the cleaning and laundry services.

National Guard officer calls for fiscal discipline

By Chad Lawhorn Twitter: @clawhorn_ljw

A full-time officer in the Kansas National Guard is making a run for the Lawrence City Commission and hopes to bring a more disciplined approach to spending and taxing decisions.

Rob Sands became the 11th candidate to file for one of three at-large seats on the commission.

“Really, just watching what has happened the last couple of years, it seems like the city has a view when it comes to our pocketbooks that they have as much of a right to that money as we do,” Sands said.

Sands, 32, has lived in

Lawrence s i n c e 2001. He’s a major in the Kansas National Guard a n d serves as Sands one of the guard’s administrative officers, in addition to being a trained member of a tank unit. He’s currently stationed in Kansas City.

Sands said he has seen both good and bad with how the City Commission has acted recently.

He said the proposed Ninth Street arts corridor project would “cement Lawrence as the cultural center of Kansas.” He

also said he sees the longterm value of the Rock Chalk Park sports complex, but understands that many residents believe the process for approval didn’t live up to the city’s standards.

Sands said he’ll campaign on the idea that core city services need to be the focus on the commission. When it comes to the idea of a new $28 million police headquarters, Sands — who said he is a data guy — wants to see more metrics on how the police department currently is performing before the city tackles the facilities question.

He said he also thinks Please see OFFICER, page 4A

The position of defendant ONEOK Inc. and the federal government is that state laws are preempted by the federal Natural Gas Act. They say the pre-emption extends to the retail market, Krings said.

McAllister represented the plaintiffs, which include Kansas-based Learjet Inc. and Topeka Unified School District 501, who accused the defendants of illegally driving up the price of natural gas, Krings said.

This was the seventh appearance McAllister

has made before the highest court in the nation, Krings said. In October, McAllister argued before the court on behalf of the state in a case over water rights between Kansas and Nebraska. A ruling on that case is expected soon, Krings said.

McAllister said he was excited to work on the case not only to serve Kansas and to appear before the U.S. Supreme Court, but also to use his experience in his classes at KU. “It’s a thrill for me both personally and profes-

sionally,” McAllister said in the news release. “I think it speaks well for Kansas and the voice of Kansas when cases such as this show up at the Supreme Court. Plus, it always gives me something I can bring back to the students and my scholarship.”

McAllister teaches and researches federal and state constitutional law, civil rights and tort law, Krings said.

Lawrence Journal-World l LJWorld.com l Tuesday, January 13, 2015

EDITORIALS

Wrong image Lawrence needs to be known for something more positive than its drinking habits.

T

here are some valid arguments that Lawrence doesn’t really deserve the title of Most Hungover City in America, as awarded by the Business Insider website.

But that doesn’t keep anyone who views that ranking from forming a certain, probably negative, impression of our fair city.

To celebrate the new year, a writer at Business Insider decided to analyze a few statistical measures to determine what city in the U.S. might have the highest percentage of hungover residents on New Year’s Day. He looked at the 2011 Centers of Disease Control report that collects self-reported data on health habits including alcohol consumption. He combined what he found there with the Census Bureau’s 2012 County Business Patterns report, which tracks the number and size of different types of businesses in metropolitan areas across the U.S. Now you know what they say about lies, damn lies and statistics, but, using these two sets of data, the author came up with a list of the 25 most hungover cities in America, on which Lawrence, Kansas, was ranked as No. 1.

What an honor. If it makes you feel any better, Manhattan, Kan., was just three slots behind, ranked No. 4.

According to the CDC statistics that were examined, 8.6 percent of Lawrence residents reported having engaged in heavy drinking and 25.9 in binge drinking (defined as five drinks in one sitting for men and four drinks in one sitting for women).

The Census data indicated that Lawrence had 28.3 bars and 24.8 wine/beer/ liquor stores per 100,000 people along with 1.8 alcoholic beverage producing establishments (apparently having a couple of popular, well-run brew pubs worked against us).

There may be flaws in the Business Insider analysis, but, as they say, perception is reality, and any listing like this one doesn’t present Lawrence in the best light. It’s not the kind of thing Lawrence wants to be known for. We’d rather be at the top of a list for business development, education excellence, affordable housing or job opportunities.

Our downtown is widely praised; hopefully that isn’t connected to the concentration of drinking establishments in that area.

We sincerely doubt that Lawrence was the most hungover city in America on New Year’s Day, but even a silly statistical list can create a negative image in the minds of others. Let’s redouble our efforts to make sure the next list Lawrence tops is for something more laudable than hangovers.

Threats underlie U.S.-Iran talks Washington — As the United States and Iran continue negotiating a possible breakthrough nuclear agreement, both sides are carrying concealed weapons that could be used if the talks collapse.

The threats that underlie the bargaining are rarely discussed publicly, but both countries recognize the dangers ahead if they don’t reach an agreement by the June 30 deadline. America’s leverage is its demonstrated ability to use cyberweapons to attack Iranian nuclear facilities; Iran’s leverage is its ability to target the 2,190 U.S. military personnel now in Iraq.

The political pressures surrounding the bargaining are evident in Tehran and Washington. Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani tried to create space for a deal last weekend by arguing that Iran’s economy shouldn’t be hobbled by ideological factors; but Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei warned Wednesday that America couldn’t be trusted to lift sanctions.

Meanwhile, conservatives in the U.S. Congress are urging even more sanctions, while the Obama administration tries to pin down a deal.

An unusually detailed account of the secret cyberwar comes in “Countdown to Zero Day,” a new book

by Kim Zetter, a reporter for Wired magazine. Through detailed forensic examination of the Stuxnet virus, she shows that President Obama pursued what amounted to a two-track policy: At the same time he sought engagement with Iran, he

“

America’s leverage is its demonstrated ability to use cyberweapons to attack Iranian nuclear facilities; Iran’s leverage is its ability to target the 2,190 U.S. military personnel now in Iraq.” authorized use of the computer weapon to sabotage Iran’s enrichment facility at Natanz.

Zetter’s reporting builds on earlier revelations by David Sanger of The New York Times. She explains that in January 2009, Obama offered the olive branch, pledging in his inaugural address: We seek a new way forward, based on mutual agreement and mutual respect.” That same month, the new president approved a covert “finding” that continued and expanded the cyberprogram begun by the Bush administration.

Zetter cites several instances where the U.S. cyberassaults appear to have escalated after Iran veered away from American efforts at conciliation. A new ver-

sion of Stuxnet was compiled and time-stamped on June 22, 2009, the day hard-line candidate Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was officially declared the winner of a contested presidential election. A new installment of the virus began infecting Iranian computers the next day.

Iran seemed serious about negotiation in late 2009. But in January 2010, Iran backed away from a plan to send its low-enriched uranium to Russia and France, and then said it would boost enrichment to 20 percent. On Jan. 25, the Stuxnet attackers “signed” an enhanced version of the malware using a stolen digital certificate, Zetter writes. This attack didn’t actually strike Iranian computers until March 23, three days after Obama sent a greeting for the Persian New Year that included a blunt assessment: “Faced with an extended hand, Iran’s leaders have shown only a clenched fist.”

Stuxnet surfaced in June 2010 when the virus began spreading to computers around the world. Reporting

by Sanger and others later revealed that it was part of a covert attack by the U.S. and Israel. Despite (or perhaps because of) this assault, the Iranians began secret contacts with the U.S. in 2012, and they became official negotiations in 2013.

The power of Stuxnet technology is that the Iranians can’t know what other malware may have been planted in their computers, or what new capabilities America’s cyberwarriors

may have developed. But it’s certain that the U.S. has greater capacity than has been reported or deployed, and that Obama is prepared to adjust U.S. cyberactivities up or down, based on the state of negotiations.

Iran is said to have raised the Stuxnet attack in the nuclear negotiations, arguing that it shows America’s hypocrisy about adhering to international norms. The Iranians have to assume there’s more the U.S. could do, if negotiations fail.

Iran’s leverage in this game of chicken is its ability to wage covert war through its proxies in the Middle East. The threat matrix includes Iranian aid to Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Assad regime in Syria and the Houthi rebels in Yemen. But Iran’s most potent weapon is its ability to attack American forces returning to Iraq to fight the Islamic State.

Iraq illustrates the U.S.Iranian double game. Gen. Qassem Suleimani, the head of Iran’s Quds Force, has told the Iraqi government that Tehran accepts renewed U.S. military assistance to Baghdad, within limits. But his message contains an implicit warning: Iran could target U.S. forces if rapprochement collapses. U.S. attacks against the Assad regime in Syria could trigger Iranian reprisals; so could new U.S. economic sanctions.

The U.S. is vulnerable, but so is Iran. That’s the symmetry of this negotiation.

Skewed stats?

LAWRENCE

To the editor: It is fun to read about silly statistics, but may I ask that the Lawrence JournalWorld do follow-up reporting on the claims reported in the front page article, “Lawrence named America’s most hungover city,” and let your readers know whether public health experts find this claim credible?

The reason I ask for more careful evaluation of the claim that Lawrence is “America’s most hungover city” is that on cursory examination it does not appear to be supported by the data, and it will almost certainly cause some parents to send their students to colleges other than Kansas University.

I am dubious of the reported conclusion for two reasons. First, the CDC binge drinking survey excludes students living on campus. Since Lawrence has the fourth highest percentage of college students of any large college town in America, and thousands of them live on campus, it seems to me that CDC data on binge drinking is less reliable for Lawrence than other cities. Source: http:// bit.ly/1y3lnCK To quote a CDC expert, the agency “does not collect

information from persons living in institutional settings (e.g., on college campuses), so findings might not be representative of those populations.” Source: http://1.usa.gov/14L8HoM Second, since Massachusetts Street is one of the largest tourist destinations in Kansas, it seems likely that the number of bars in Lawrence says less about how much residents drink than would be the case in most cities.

New heights To the editor: The tallest building ever built in downtown Lawrence has been approved by this city commission on the northeast corner of Ninth and New Hampshire.

Rock Chalk Park and the no-vote, no-bid approach has now landed in full view. Unseen, as of the spring election, will be the impact of a 100foot tall apartment high-rise opposite the recent building on New Hampshire. It sure would be nice if the election were held after that project is in full view.

The Oread Hotel certainly broke new ground in replacing the former heights of neighborhood commercial

and residential multi-family zones having a height limit of 45 feet with a now over 125-foot chunk of stonework.

Between Rock Chalk Park and The Oread projects were Varsity House and 901 New Hampshire.

Look out for the next unseen project at 11th and Massachusetts, and the unseen but approved plans for the Eldridge expansion replacing the surface parking lot at Vermont.

How is that Venture Park project going? How are all of the previous TIF-funded project payments going?

Sven Erik Alstrom, Lawrence

Other flaws To the editor: George Gurley (JournalWorld, Jan. 3) left out the cardinal sin of the Koch brothers — not giving liberally to the Democratic Party like the good one-percenters such as Warren Buffet, George Soros, Tom Sawyer and others. Also he omitted a minor sin of giving to the Kansas University School of Business. (It would be more appropriate if the Chinese supported the School of Business, but that is another subject!)

Vincent U. Muirhead, Lawrence

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Jan. 13, 1915: years “In an attempt ago to provide some IN 1915 food for his family Frank Simpson living in the east bottoms was arrested and is being held on the charge of hunting without a license by Will R. Kaps, a game warden. Simpson had shot three rabbits and soon after his arrest his children appeared and asked permission to take the rabbits home as they needed them for food. This permission was granted.”

“An earthquake shock lasting for twelve minutes was recorded Monday morning by the University seismograph in Blake Hall. ‘I did not look at the instrument until Tuesday morning,’ said Prof. F. E. Kent, ‘but from the record of the shock on the instrument, I should say that the disturbance occurred about 700 miles either east or west of Lawrence…. The shock was very faint though and the probabilities are that persons living in the region affected failed to feel any disturbances at all.”

wage. And we’ve got to do things to get children out of poverty. That was one of his Roadmap goals when he ran the first time.

And the poverty rate today among children is probably the highest it’s been in years and years.”

House Minority Leader Tom Burroughs, D-Kansas City, agreed.

“While I believe the crisis that Kansas families are feeling has been contributed by this administration, I also believe that moving forward we need to talk about those budget issues that address the opportunity for Kansas families to prosper,” Burroughs said.

“And that’s a solid, wellfunded public education, access to higher education, a livable wage for Kansas workers and respect for Kansas workers.”

But House Speaker Ray Merrick, R-Stilwell, said the governor’s inaugural speech wasn’t about specific economic or budget issues.

“I think you’re going to hear that Thursday night,” Merrick said. “This wasn’t the occasion for that. The State of the State is where you do that stuff.”

“Every human — especially the most vulnerable, the unborn, the infirm, those ravaged by age and those desperate in despair — should be protected in law, loved, and told repeatedly of their incredible beauty and worth,” he continued.

“The equal and immense dignity of every person all the time is the foundation of our society. Kansas is great, and great for America, when more and more we honor every human life everywhere.”

It wasn’t immediately clear how much of the speech was a prelude to policies that Brownback intends to pursue this year. During an impromptu news conference following the speech, Brownback suggested it was more of a philosophical statement.

“I worked with (Democrat) Pat Moynihan in the Senate. He’s deceased now, but he was the original culture commentator,” Brownback said. “He had said the key thing you need to watch are those things that help build the next generation. And at it’s

core, that’s building up the family. And a lot of that’s a discussion in the country. It’s not mandates. And that’s what I said in the speech. You can never get a government big enough to take over for the family, nor should one ever be.”

But Senate Majority Leader Terry Bruce, RHutchinson, said he does expect the governor to offer social policy legislation addressing children and families.

“I do believe, and I’ve heard some comments, that child poverty issues will be addressed, or at least pushed by the governor’s office,” Bruce said. “I don’t know the specifics of what that entails, but I believe come Thursday night (during the State of the State address) that we’ll learn a lot more about it.”

Democrats, on the other hand, argued that Brownback’s own policies have been the source of the economic hardships many Kansas families are facing.

“When you talk about the breakdown of the family, I’m more concerned about the economic breakdown of the family,” Senate Democratic Leader Anthony Hensley said. “That’s why I feel like we need to raise the state’s minimum

it suggested another $548 million per year in additional school funding may be needed.

Gov. Sam Brownback, who was sworn in to his second term Monday, has proposed filling this year’s budget hole largely with fund transfers and minor cuts in state spending. But much of his plan requires legislative approval, and even his Republican allies in the Legislature are saying they may want to take a different approach.

Senate Majority Leader Terry Bruce, R-Hutchinson, said lawmakers will not merely give rubberstamp approval to the governor’s plan.

“We do have a committee process to go through,” Bruce said. “I think we have, at least in the Ways and Means Committee in the Senate, people that want to dive in a little more and get some systemic changes to the budget for fiscal 2015, and hopefully try to find some changes and roll that over into 2016 to help fill the hole there as well.”

Brownback is expected to outline his budget plan for the next two fiscal years — those ending on June 30, 2016 and 2017 — during the annual State of the State address, scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Thurs-

WATCHING A DOG GROW OLD AS KIDS GROW UP is almost a rite of passage for families with younger members.

Love, life lessons abound in home with aging pet

By Dan Coleman

Special to the Journal-World

very year among the slew of picture books I order for the library are a few really good ones about the death of a pet.

I keep a list of the best at bitly.com/furryfarewells, and while they are helpful to toddlers, they may be just as comforting to the parents who read them aloud.

With each new baby, a common, yet rarely named demographic thrives: the household with young kids and old pets. And of course, pets don’t live forever. In fact, I’ve seen their demise so often in the lives of friends and family who are new parents

that it seems almost like a rite of passage.

Like many other couples, my wife and I consider our dog, Claude, to be our firstborn, although neither of us

was there for this hallowed event that probably took place in a cardboard box.

But in his nearly 14 years with us, Claude has outlived one house, two cars, three cats, and at least four vacuum cleaners, each of the latter succumbing to his prodigious, year-round shedding.

Someone making fun of his advanced age recently pointed out that Claude has been around for over 5 percent of U.S. history. The white-bearded elder statesman of our house, he does cut a Rushmore-like figure on the couch, gazing, nearly blind and deaf, into some canine eternity as the kids play on the floor below. He’s definitely one of the finest

citizens I know (although he has marked a flagpole or two in his day). At least, I can’t picture an America without him.

But I know he won’t be around much longer. This Christmas, as he lay next to me on the couch, I mused that while my kids, at age 2 and 4, are just beginning to appreciate the holiday, there’s a good chance this will be his last. As if aware of my thoughts, he uncharacteristically placed his head in my lap and fell asleep.

Meanwhile, my son demanded I take my turns in a game he got for Christmas, forcing poor Claude to raise Please see DOGS, page 2B

Stave off school stress by staying organized Wes: January is National Get Organized month. Who knew? Susan Pinsky, for one.

She wrote the foreword for “I Always Want to Be Where I’m Not: Successful Living with ADHD,� which she also helped to reorganize. Her book, “Organizing Solutions for People with ADHD,� is very popular with my teen clients and their families.

Here’s a little secret I’ve learned over the years: Organization isn’t just for people with ADHD. In fact, I’ve come to realize that the secret of happiness is how you organize your life. I realize that’s a bit of a letdown. We’d rather see happiness as something magnificent like meditating toward a higher state of consciousness or perhaps something trite yet unattainable, like, “look on the bright side,� “seek your true love,� “have courage,� “be proactive� or “give yourself choices.� But a catchy mantra, no matter

Find the most important aspects of a teen’s life and apply the most powerful strategies.

Everything else will follow.

ON THE AIR Join Dr. Wes and Susan Pinsky on “Up to Date� with Steve Kraske at 11 a.m. Jan. 19 to discuss how to organize teens for success in school, family, and life in general. The show broadcasts on KCUR 89.3 FM or kcur.org. The podcast will be available later in the day on www.dr-wes.com.

Dr. Wes Crenshaw and Kyra Haas how much you practice it, can’t create happiness unless your life is organized so you can gain its benefit. All your stuff — tangible, emotional and psychological — has to fit together.

For parents, having a disorganized teen leads to all manner of mayhem from family conflict to school failure along with a truckload of

mutual frustration. Susan and I both offer numerous strategies parents can use to help their teens get it together, and Kyra offers several below. At the top of my list is perhaps the most important organizational task any of us can ever perform: prioritizing. In terms of life-impact, there’s no comparison between a disastrously messed up room and a disastrously messed up academic life. Bad time management at school or in a

Kyra: Until 10th grade, I kept track of school activities and assignments in my head.

Well, mostly. Every once in a while I would frantically complete an algebra assignment over lunch or during a history lecture. And I’ll admit that uneducated lucky guesswork helped me pass more than a few forgotten tests. By junior year, however, I discovered that my haphazard approach would eventually demolish my GPA. School doesn’t need any assistance to be stressful. It does just fine on its own. So, here are some useful tools to decrease anxiety and increase

Heart disease is the nation’s No. 1 killer, so living a heart-healthy lifestyle — being physically active, controlling cholesterol, eating better, managing blood pressure, losing weight, reducing blood sugar and quitting smoking — is crucial.

Lawrence Memorial Hospital offers programs to help you live a heart-healthy lifestyle and prevent you from becoming a statistic.

Classes and screenings High blood pressure, high LDL cholesterol and smoking are key risk factors for heart disease. About half of Americans have at least one of these three risk factors, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

As a nonprofit hospital, LMH is dedicated to caring for the community and offers free and low-cost classes and screenings. There are offerings for parents, safety classes, events for seniors and much more. Some of the heart-related options include: l A free one-mile walk test and presentation called “Walking for Health� l Fitness classes for adults and seniors; prices vary. l Cholesterol screenings for $8 l Free diabetes education group l Free Steps to Successfully Quitting Smoking class l Annual Healthy Hearts Fair, scheduled for Feb. 21 For more information, call 7495800 or visit Classes and Events under the Wellness Resources tab at lmh.org.

Heart risk assessments for women Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women in America, claiming the lives of one in four women every year, notes the National Institutes of Health. The LMH-affiliated practice Cardiovascular Specialists of Lawrence offers a heart risk assessment tailored for women. The cost for this self-referral test is $40-$75. For more information about this assessment, call 505-3636.

Top-quality Heart Center An estimated 80 million Americans have one or more types of heart disease, according to the Heart Foundation.

If you need cardiac care, the LMH Heart Center provides everything from routine checkups to life-saving procedures. LMH Heart Center has been recognized nationally for heart attack care, is an accredited Chest Pain Center and is nationally certified by the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation. To learn more about heart care at LMH, visit the Cardiology tab at lmh.org. — Aynsley Anderson, MA, RN, is Community Education Coordinator at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, which is a major sponsor of WellCommons.

his head and resettle each time I leaned forward and back again.

Such is the fate of dogs, who have no choice but to forgive. This one has already forgiven me countless sins: My good intentions as an amateur veterinarian, for example, like the time I tried to remove a tick from him with tweezers, only to discover it was his nipple.

Or one itchy summer’s ill-conceived, thrice-daily cider vinegar spray home remedy.

And for the series of cats, then young humans, we brought into the house, who stole most of the attention that once made his eyes so proud and jet black fur shine.

As for the kids, they may not be sheep or cattle, but I can see they are the livestock Claude always dreamed of, and that he loves them with a shepherd’s heart, as he lies outside my daughter’s door during her naps, nudges it open if we neglect to shut it fully, and pushes us aside to get through the doorway first when she wakes up.

And when it comes to forgiveness, my wife and I do our share in the wee, silent (but deadly) hours when he creates a stench so profound it can wake us from a dead sleep, or later still, when his cold nose on my cheek can only mean the restlessness of an old dog requires someone to get up

free time and sanity: Use the planner: School-provided planners provide a handy date-labeled box in which to note important assignments or events. For me, nothing is more exciting than marking off a completed work with a colorful pen. That’s just the thrilling life I lead.

And, if the pen-and-paper method feels too 1994 for you, smartphone apps like “myHomework Student Planner” and “The Homework App” let you go digital.

Quiet: When tackling homework, throw your phone out the window and turn off those bumpin’ beats. Text and Twitter alerts are the natural enemy of productivity. But if music “helps you think,” Spotify, YouTube and Pandora have great classical playlists designed to improve attentiveness. I’m currently listening to “6 Hours of the Best Beethoven­ — Classical Music Piano Studying Concentration Playlist Mix.” Not anything I’d play at a party, but it helps get the job done.

Strategy: As much as I want to, I can’t do my AP Literature homework when I get home from school — I like it too much. If I finish Literature at 4 p.m., I’ll procrastinate my other work, so I start with my math homework and reward a completed lesson with a chapter of “The Picture of Dorian Gray.” Don’t just say, “I’m going to go do my homework.” Allot time for each individual subject in such a way that you feel motivated to complete everything.

He knows I will take him out in almost any weather for a mile’s worth of the latest neighborhood smells at his own pace, and exercise enough to keep the pain in his arthritic knees as much at

bay as possible.

From him I get a half hour’s silent companionship, and, travel mug in my non-leash-holding hand, a chance to get at least partially caffeinated before my kids’ typical 0-to-60 mph sprint out of their rooms when they wake up.

Some times of the year we get to see the sun rise, or starlings flock mysteriously in a familiar tree.

Other mornings it’s dark and cold, but the walk keeps us both at least partly sane, I like to think.

This year for Christmas, Royals gear was big at our house: T-shirts, hats, Blue Crew passes from grandma. As Claude kept vigil above the chaos of wrapping paper and logos, I thought of Game 7 of the World Series, one of the year’s most pleasant, but bittersweet, surprises.

A team’s last game of the season is always the reckoning without which none of it has any meaning, from the highs of an

unlikely playoff run to the final delivery of a pitcher like Madison Bumgarner, grinding and inexorable from the mound as time itself.

I’m not sure what inning Claude and I are in, but I’m pretty sure we’re in the thick of our own Game 7, and when it’s all over it won’t be about this last game at all, but all the many summer days we played along the way, each made precious by the looming, last out I knew would someday be recorded. But not today.

So don’t worry, Claude: I’ll set my clock tonight and see you at my side again tomorrow morning.

Dear Annie: My boyfriend and I are in our 60s and have been together for 12 years. We recently had a disagreement, and he walked away. I emailed him and he said he has feelings for me and always will, but he can’t make me happy. He said I need someone who is as romantic and financially secure as I am.

He has no pension, no savings and a business that is barely surviving.

He also told me that his health problems are why we haven’t had sex in four years.

I am his fifth relationship that hasn’t worked out. He used to phone me every night, and I miss that. After previous disagreements, he always came back. He said he doesn’t want to be in a relationship now and needs to look after his business. He

claims to be a workaholic. Should I contact him again? — J. Dear J.: How much do you want to suffer?

Unless this man gets help and makes major changes to his life, he cannot give you any type of commitment, nor does he want to.

He prefers to leave the relationship. We think you should let him.

Dear Annie: When our relatives come for a visit, as they do every winter without fail,

Rise of a Klan leader examined The “American Experience” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings) presentation “Klansville U.S.A.” examines the motivations that drove thousands in North Carolina to join the Ku Klux Klan in the 1960s at a time when it was considered the most progressive state in the South.

“Klansville” revolves around the meteoric rise and fall of Bob Jones, a failed lightning-rod salesman who became the most successful Klan leader in the United States.

R i c h with period footage, this documentary offers an even-handed discussion of Jones and his followers’ motivations. Jones felt that the wealthier whites looked down upon him as “trash.” Worse, equal rights for blacks threatened his prospects for employment and his place in the social pecking order. Jones responded to the white supremacy philosophy, the pageantry and regalia of the Klan because it echoed his fears while offering a sense of belonging, purpose and respect.

As a state Klan leader, Jones showed a flair for recruitment and organization, traveling the state to hold Klan rallies that included barbecues, music, carraffles and rousing sermons.

The murder of a white female civil-rights worker in 1965 brought FBI infiltration, surveillance and disruption to Klans across the nation. The investigation would discover and reveal how Jones and his wife had helped themselves to funds to buy a Cadillac and other luxuries. To Klan members, this was a tawdry betrayal.

“Klansville” ends in the late 1960s, with Jones’ disgrace and the disintegration of his vast organization. Jones’ version of the Klan may be gone, but his appeals to fear, resentment and the notion of a culture under siege have hardly disappeared from the national conversation.

why do they expect to be treated to free accommodations and free meals, which we provide year after year, while they never offer anything in return?

An offer to treat us to a meal at a restaurant, even breakfast, would be welcomed.

From my perspective, these “guests” freely take our time, our generosity and our kindness at a most stressful time of year, and their only form of appreciation is the blanket invitation to “come on down” offered at their departure.

These guests do not suggest or pay for activities while visiting us.

They think that since they paid to travel to us, we should be willing to cover all expenses while they are here.

KU wary of OSU’s 1-2 punch

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld. com

Marcus Smart — the villain who performed a backflip on the center-court Jayhawk after Oklahoma State’s 85-80 victory over Kansas University on Feb. 2, 2013 — is long gone from college, now averaging 21 minutes a game as a rookie for the Boston Celtics.

“OSU lost two pros (Smart and Markel Brown, Brooklyn Nets), one’s a lottery pick, and they’ve not taken a step back. They’re playing well together.”

His Jayhawks today face the task of slowing a Cowboy team led by junior guard Phil Forte III and senior wing Le’Bryan Nash, who rank 1-2 in the Big 12 in scoring at 17.7 and 17.6 points a game. Nash has made 47.9 percent of his

shots, which ranks sixth in the league.

Forte has hit 46 percent, which ranks 10th.

“Those two may be frontrunners for Big 12 Player of the Year. We’ve got to do a great job on those two,” Self said.

OHIO STATE 42, OREGON 20

Historic first

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Add Nick Harwell’s name to the list of seniors from the 2014 Kansas University football team competing in postseason all-star games this winter.

Harwell has been selected to play in Saturday’s NFLPA Collegiate Bowl, which will kick off at 3 p.m. in Carson, California.

The Missouri City, Texas, wide receiver came to Kansas after a solid three-year career at Miami (Ohio) University, sat out in 2013 and wrapped up his lone season at Kansas last November. Dubbed a potential difference-maker for the struggling KU passing game, the 6-foot-1, 193-pound receiver who finished 2014 with 470 yards and five touchdowns on 44 receptions has been on the NFL radar since 2012, when one NFL Draft site ranked him as the 14thbest receiving prospect in his draft class.

His s t a n d i n g Harwell dipped a bit during his time at Kansas, and Harwell admitted late in the 2014 season that he occasionally thought about the road ahead.

“I do think about it,” he said prior to KU’s victory over Iowa State on Nov. 8.

“Not as much as I think about the next game, or who we’re playing, but I do think about it, and it just keeps replaying in my head when agents call or hit me up through email.

It’s always in the back of my head, but I don’t worry too much about it because whatever happens, happens.”

Harwell is one of four former Jayhawks playing in postseason all-star games.

Linebacker Ben Heeney will suit up for the West squad in Saturday’s East-West Shrine Game in St. Petersburg, Florida, and cornerback JaCorey Shepherd will participate in the Senior Bowl on Jan. 24 in Mobile, Alabama.

Last weekend, safety Cassius Sendish recorded three solo tackles for the American team in the Medal of Honor Bowl.

OHIO STATE COACH URBAN MEYER, LEFT, AND EZEKIEL ELLIOTT CELEBRATE after their 42-20 victory over Oregon in the college football playoff championship game on Monday in Arlington, Texas.

Ohio State rolls to initial playoff title Arlington, Texas (ap) — Ohio State can add the newest version of the national championship trophy to a case that already has a bunch of the old ones.

The Buckeyes’ thirdstringer matched Oregon’s Heisman winner as Cardale Jones led Ohio State past Marcus Mariota and the Ducks 42-20 in the first College Football Playoff national championship game Monday night at the $1.2 billion home of the Dallas Cowboys.

Behind their bullish backup quarterback and the relentless running of Ezekiel Elliott, the Buckeyes (14-1)

completed a remarkable inseason turnaround with a dominating performance against the Ducks (13-2).

“The chase is complete,” Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said. “It’s done. It’s over. They accepted their final mission, their final assignment and their final directive, and they did it. That was our whole mantra this last couple of weeks. A job well done, and we’re very grateful.”

Ohio State began the first major college football playoff as the fourth and final seed, and as a team that faced questions about whether it

belonged at all. It was a team that never would have had a chance to win a title under the old postseason system.

No question about it now: Ohio State is the truest champion big-time football has ever crowned, showered by golden confetti as its band played “Hang on Sloopy” when the clock hit 0:00.

Meyer’s Buckeyes overcame two injured Heisman contenders and one awful early season loss at home to Virginia Tech to win their first national title since 2002. Back then, the Bowl Championship Series decided the top team at the end of the season — usually.

Before that, it was up to The Associated Press and coaches’ polls to sort out which team was best, with a little help from the bowls.

The Buckeyes have three of those championships, too.

And Meyer now has three, adding this one for his home state team to the two he won for Florida. It’s taken just three seasons in Columbus for Meyer to put the Buckeyes — and the Big Ten — back on top, with a team that looks built to last.

HEAD COACH JOHN FOX AND THE BRONCOS PARTED WAYS MONDAY, the day after Denver’s 24-13 loss to the Indianapolis Colts.

Fox out at Denver following fourth playoff loss Englewood, Colo. — Coach John Fox and the Denver Broncos are parting ways following the team’s latest playoff meltdown.

Fox won the AFC West all four of his years in Denver, but each of those seasons ended in ugly fashion in the playoffs, including Sunday’s stunning 24-13 loss to Indianapolis.

Fox was 49-22 in Denver after going 73-71 in nine years with the Carolina Panthers.

In three seasons with Peyton Manning, the Broncos went 38-10 in the regular season but were upset twice at home in the divisional round and got upended by the Seahawks 43-8 in last year’s Super Bowl.

The Broncos went 8-8 in Fox’s first year, when Tebowmania was in full pitch. The stakes were raised when Manning replaced Tim Tebow in 2012.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Haase gets extension at UAB Birmingham, Ala. — UAB basketball coach Jerod Haase has received a two-year contract extension that doesn’t include a raise.

The University of Alabama System trustees compensation committee approved the deal Monday, which keeps his pay at $525,000 annually plus incentives. It runs through March 25, 2019.

Haase, a former Kansas player, has led the Blazers to a 39-39 record in his first two-plus

seasons. He spent 13 years on Roy Williams’ staffs at Kansas and North Carolina.

Under the deal, Haase agrees to “keep public statements complimentary to the administrators of the athletic program and to UAB.� His original agreement included a similar clause.

UAB President Ray Watts faces a noconfidence vote from the university’s Faculty Senate on Thursday following his decision to shut down the Blazers’ football program in December.

Kentucky remains No. 1 in the AP Top 25, though two overtime games loosened its hold on the top spot a bit.

The Wildcats (15-0) were atop 63 of 65 votes cast Monday, ending a run of five straight weeks as the unanimous No. 1. Kentucky beat Mississippi at home in overtime then won in double overtime at Texas A&M. Virginia (15-0) earned the other two firstplace votes and moved up a spot to No. 2 as the only other unbeaten team after Duke’s loss at North Carolina State.

Gonzaga was third, followed by Duke — which fell from second and was among five top-10 losers — and Villanova.

Northern Iowa, Oklahoma State and Wyoming were new to the poll, with 25th-ranked Wyoming in for the first time since 1988.

CHICAGO WHITE SOXLOS ANGELES ANGELS

Plantation, Fla. (ap) — The former NFL fullback entered the room with a wobble in his walk and needed assistance climbing a podium so he could face a media throng and discuss his death-defying 16-hour swim to shore.

Rob Konrad sipped from a bottle of water, his efforts to rehydrate ongoing four days after the episode. His wife sat at his side rubbing his leg in support, and tears welled in their eyes as he spoke Monday. “Happy to be here,� he began with a wry smile. “I shouldn’t be here,� he said later, his voice cracking.

The 38-year-old Konrad’s escape was a testament to willpower and world-class athleticism. The first reports of his adventure last week received worldwide attention.

Even endurance swimmer Diana Nyad was impressed. “It’s an incredible story,�

Nyad said. “Taking his life in his hands and deciding he was going to save himself, I admire him.�

Konrad, who played for the Miami Dolphins from 1999 to 2004, had been around boats since his childhood on Boston’s North Shore. So he knew what it meant when he fell off his 31foot Grady-White while fishing alone nine miles from land. “A boater’s nightmare,� he said.

He swam to Palm Beach, covering a distance of 27 miles before ringing the doorbell of an oceanfront home for help at 4:30 a.m. Thursday.

The U.S. Coast Guard last week provided a brief summary of the events. Konrad, still weak after days in the hospital for treatment of hypothermia and dehydration, held a news conference to fill in the details.

They were hard to believe, he and his wife agreed. “It was a miracle he made it home,� Tammy Konrad said.

leads the Big 12 in minutes played (33.0 per game) and steals (2.6 per game), is second in three-pointers made (2.8 per game) and fourth in three-pointfield-goal percentage (42of-102, 41.2 percent).

A year ago, Forte went 7-of-10 from three and scored 23 points in the Pokes’ 80-78 loss to KU in Allen Fieldhouse. He’s averaged 13.0 points (13of-42 from three) in five career games versus KU, his Pokes winning two of the contests.

“He has as much range as anybody in the country. We should not be surprised wherever he shoots them from because he’s capable of making them from anywhere,” Self said of Forte.

“He’s a complete player, strong as an ox. He plays so hard, moves without the ball, is in unbelievable condition.

This is when you know you can shoot ... when everybody on the defensive end is designed to make sure you don’t shoot it.

You get looks that have to be quick-release, where you don’t get your feet set and comfortable and shoot it. I bet on open shots he gets from three with his feet set ... I bet he’s shooing 65, 70 percent,” Self added. “Making so many moving off balance, late clock, really make his stats even that much more impressive.”

A year ago, Forte gave up several inches in guarding 6-5 Wayne Selden Jr. “No question he’ll have to guard a taller guy. I don’t think that is something that will bother him. He’s been used to doing that his whole life,” Self said.

Of Forte, KU point guard Frank Mason III said: “You’ve got to stay locked in. It can’t be just one guy guarding him, even though it’s just one guy checking him. We have to do it as a team.

We know he likes to run off a lot of screens, quick curl, things like that.

“He can shoot it from deep. He can shoot it with guys in his face, make contested shots,” added the 5-11 Mason. “You have to stay engaged and not give him the open looks.”

Big toe feels OK: KU freshman Devonté Graham has experienced no problems with his sprained right big toe since dishing six assists and grabbing six rebounds in a 19-minute return against Texas Tech on Saturday.

“Pain ... I don’t want to say nonexistent, but it’s not bothering him. If anything, it’s a little uncomfortable time to time,” Self said of Graham on

Tuesday, January 13, 2015

his weekly “Hawk Talk” radio show. “He got it stepped, on and he knows now he can get it stepped on and not have it bother him much. That was one concern, ‘What if I get it stepped on?’ I think he adds a lot to our team.” l

Nice parents: Self enjoyed chatting with the parents of Svi Mykhailiuk (Inna and Iurri) again Monday.

“They are so nice, so sweet, so excited about what is happening with him,” Self said. “Svi gives them nothing but positive feedback. The people here have been good to Svi. The players have, but also the campus community and the town have been good to him. His dad said something interesting today. I said, ‘Sometimes he’s a little up and down.’ Dad said, ‘Well, he is 17 years old.’ I say that all the time and thought it was interesting to hear him say it. The parents have totally realistic expectations. Not too many have realistic expectations about their own. It doesn’t happen often. It’s refreshing. I’m so excited they came by the office today.” l

OHIO STATE’S EZEKIEL ELLIOTT (15) RUNS FOR A NINE-YARD TOUCHDOWN during the second half of OSU’s 42-20 rout of Oregon in the national championship game Monday in Arlington, Texas.

SUMMARY

on 36 carries. In the last three games against Wisconsin, Alabama and Oregon, Elliott had 696 yards rushing.

“It was our dream. It came true,” Elliott said.

“With all the stuff we went through to get here, it’s just crazy. It doesn’t feel real.”

Jones, who took over three games ago for the injured J.T. Barrett (who had taken over at the start of the season for the injured Braxton Miller), passed for 242 yards and a touchdown and ran for a score. The 250-pound third-year sophomore proved he could keep up with Mariota — at least on this night.

Mariota passed for 333 yards and two touchdowns, but the Ducks’ warp-speed spread offense missed too many red-zone opportunities and couldn’t unleash its running game against linebacker Darron Lee and an Ohio State front seven stacked with future NFL draft picks.

Even with the benefit of four Ohio State turnovers, the Ducks were held to their lowest point total of the season, four touchdowns below their average coming in.

Oregon has done just about everything as it has blossomed into a national power over the last two decades, but it will likely continue the search for its first national championship without Mariota. Barring

a major surprise, the junior is likely to turn pro — though he wouldn’t talk about his upcoming draft decision Monday night.

Elliott scored the game’s last three touchdowns, finishing off the rout with a 1-yarder with 28 seconds left.

While Elliott slipped and darted through the Ducks, Jones pushed them around and shook them off.

When Jones surged and spun his way into the end zone with 4:49 left in the second quarter it was
