Foreclosures fall 29 pe rcent in 2014

LOS ANGELES — A healthier U.S. housing market and economy helped to winnow foreclosures in 2014 to levels not seen since before the housing bust.

The decline is the latest evidence of how foreclosur es have diminished in recent years from a national crisis to a largely market-specific concern.

While foreclosures remain elevated in many populous metropolitan areas, such as New York, Philadelphia and San Diego, they have declined annually overall in recent years, and 2014 was no exception.

The number of homes repossessed by banks fell

29 percent last year to the lowest level since 2006, a year before the subprime mortgage crisis erupted, according to data released Thursday by foreclosure listing firm RealtyTrac Inc. One reason for the drop: fewer homes entered the foreclosure process last year.

Foreclosure starts tumbled 14 percent versus a year earlier to the lowest level since 2006, the firm said.

“Foreclosures are no longer a threat to home values nationwide,” said Daren Blomquist, a vice president at RealtyTrac.

All told, 643,193 U.S. homes entered the foreclosure

FIREFIGHTERS RESPOND TO HEAVY SMOKE and reports of fire Thursday in downtown Lawrence at Jefferson’s restaurant, 743 Massachusetts St. The building suffered “extensive damage” but is not a total loss, said Jefferson’s owner Brandon Graham.

Restaurant suffers ‘extensive damage’

By Caitlin Doornbos Twitter: @CaitlinDoornbos

A

fire at Jefferson’s restaurant shut down a portion of downtown Lawrence for about four hours Thursday after fire crews responded to flames and heavy smoke billowing from the building at 743 Massachusetts St. Thick smoke filled Jef-

ferson’s around 11 a.m. and poured out of the top of the building until about 1 p.m.

The smoke was so heavy on Massachusetts Street that it blocked visibility in the 700 block.

Liz Calloni, a server at nearby Bigg’s Barbecue, said the smoke was so dense that it “looked like clouds were coming out of the top of Jefferson’s.”

Dispatchers reported the fire was under control around 12:10 p.m.

Jefferson’s owner Brandon Graham said the flames started at the top of the building, which is home to a storage area and a sealedoff room in which a murder took place in the 1950s.

Lawrence police have arrested a man in connection with the November homicide of 19-year-old Justina Altamirano Mosso.

Lawrence Police Department detectives, along with U.S. Marshals, arrested Rontarus Washington Jr. Thursday morning on suspicion of first-degree murder and aggravated burglary in connection with Lawrence’s latest homicide, LPD spokesman Sgt. Trent McKinley Washington said. Washington, a former Lawrence resident, was arrested without incident in Greenville, Miss.

Altamirano Mosso was found slain inside a Cedarwood Apartments residence in the 1700 block of West 24th Street on Nov. 9 after a family member called dispatch to ask police to conduct a welfare check on the woman. Inside the apartment, police found Please see ARREST, page 2A

over 6 percent of hospital visits during the week ending on Jan. 10 were for a flu-like illness, similar to years past. The week before, the rate was at about 9 percent.

Despite all of that, the Centers for Disease Control still lists the influenza-like activity in Kansas and Missouri as high, along with 24 other states. Nationally, it said the flu activity has continued to stay above the epidemic threshold. The flu generally peaks in January and February.

Topeka — Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach alerted lawmakers this week that he will again seek the power to prosecute voter fraud, and also is proposing two other voter bills.

Meeting with the House Elections Committee on Wednesday, Kobach introduced two measures that were accepted without objection: straight-ticket party voting and making death the only excuse for withdrawing a candidate’s name from an election.

Kobach first attempted to Kobach gain prosecutorial powers in 2013, but the effort failed at the end of the session when the House rejected Please see VOTING, page 2A

Altamirano slain amid a bloody scene.

The small Mississippi town of just under 35,000 residents is Washington’s hometown, Greenville Police Department assistant chief Delando Wilson said.

The LPD arrived in the area Monday, McKinley said, and notified the GPD of their search.

The LPD, GPD and U.S. Marshalls agents located Washington at his family’s apartment in the 400 block of Walker Street in Greenville, Wilson said. As of Thursday, it was unclear whether the family could be charged with any related crimes.

“We interviewed (the family), but we haven’t been able to determine if they were aware of the charges,” Wilson said.

A warrant for Washington’s arrest was entered into the National Crime Information Computer sometime before Monday, McKinley said. When information is entered into the NCIC, all law enforcement are able to view it.

“Any law enforcement agency would have stopped him,” McKinley said.

Washington was pinpointed as the suspect after weeks of “intense investigation” by the LPD and with the assistance of forensic evidence, Douglas County

District Attorney’s Office spokeswoman Cheryl Wright Kunard said.

It has yet to be determined when Washington will be charged in Douglas County, since his arrest took place in another state.

“Extradition issues must first be resolved in Mississippi before he will be transported back to face the charges,” Wright Kunard said.

Washington lived in Lawrence only briefly, McKinley said, but his address was listed in Lawrence during the time of the crime.

Altamirano Mosso also had been a Lawrence resident for just a short period of time. She came to the United States last spring with her husband, Felipe Cantu Ruiz, to “make a better life” for her daughter, Danna, back home in Guerrero, Mexico, her cousin Elizabeth Castro told the Journal-World by email.

If convicted, Wright Kunard said, Washington could face life in prison with no possibility of parole for 25 years.

“The charges listed are merely accusations, and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty,” Wright Kunard said.

— Reporter Conrad Swanson contributed to this story.

the main level of the building were inside when the fire broke out and were unaware of the events taking place above until firefighters noticed smoke billowing from the top, Graham said.

The firefighters then entered the business and told the employees to evacuate.

The restaurant, which has business hours from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., had not yet opened, so no customers were inside, Graham said.

“Everyone got out safely,” he said, “and that’s the number one important thing.”

An estimate on the total damage is not expected for a week or two; however, Graham said the building suffered “extensive damage” but is not a “total loss.”

From about 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Massachusetts between Seventh and Ninth streets was blocked off, as well as Eighth Street from Vermont to New Hampshire streets, as crews investigated the fire.

A peek inside the building around 4 p.m. revealed no visible flame damage to the main restaurant. The restaurant’s famous dollar bills pinned to the walls remained intact but were wet from fire hoses.

Westar Energy spokeswoman Gina Penzig said the company was originally notified that a transformer about 10 feet behind Jefferson’s had blown around

his request 45-64.

The most common form of voter fraud, double voting, is occurring with some frequency in Kansas, Kobach said, adding that it’s what is driving the bill he plans to submit to the Senate Judiciary Committee.

“There’s some crimes the only way you can address them is by deterrence,” he said.

The first of Kobach’s election committee bills would allow voters to check a single box to cast a vote for every member of a political party on the ballot. Kobach said it would cut down on the number of people who vote in major races but leave the rest of the ballot blank.

said.

Later Thursday Penzig said the transformer had not in fact blown but that a fuse leading to it had.

Westar officials are working with firefighters to determine the cause of the fire, Penzig said, but the south top posterior side of Jefferson’s appeared charred where the power line extending from the transformer meets the building.

Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical Chief Mark Bradford said a cause would not be determined for “a couple weeks.”

Neighboring businesses — Noodles & Company and Baan Thai — were among customers without power Thursday afternoon. Westar had originally reported that about 30 customers were briefly without power and later amended that number to 210 experiencing a “blink” and seven businesses being without power for several hours.

Lawrencian Daniel Wagner, who lives above neighboring Salon Di Marco, said he heard an explosion just before his lights went out and he began to smell smoke. The power came back on after a few seconds, but was shut off again around 11:20 a.m.

Lawrence Police Department spokesman Sgt. Trent McKinley said the outage affected the stoplight at Eighth and Vermont streets,

customers’ power restored by 2:30 p.m. Jefferson’s remains without power until fire officials verify that it is safe to reconnect the restaurant, Penzig said.

This is the fourth Westar power outage in Lawrence this week. A transformer explosion Wednesday left more than 50 Westar customers without power and caused a 40-foot grass fire in the 800 block of East 13th Street Wednesday.

This was not the first time a fire has taken place in the second story of Jefferson’s in recent history. In 2003, the sealed-off room on the top level caught on fire, causing about $150,000 in smoke, fire and water damage to the restaurant below. That fire was thought to have been caused by electricity, after a storm blew an aluminum ladder on top of the building into a power line.

The sealed-off room above Jefferson’s is what used to be the walk-up office of attorney Leroy Harris, who was sitting at his desk May 28, 1954, when a client walked in and fatally shot him. After the death, the building’s owner did a little cleanup, then sealed the office with metal siding.

The room was resealed after the 2003 fire, Graham said. Firefighters made holes Thursday into the sealed-off room from the front and back of the structure to look for hot spots.

down the ballot and it’s a matter of voter convenience, too,” Kobach said.

Rep. John Carmichael, a Wichita Democrat who serves on the elections committee, called straight-ticket voting a relic of his grandparents’ time.

“That does not contribute to the electorate making a meaningful choice,” he said. “Instead it just encourages mindless voting based solely on partisan politics and that is not good for the democratic process.”

Kobach’s second bill would change the state law that allows a candidate nominated in a primary to withdraw before the general election by turning in a statement that he or she is incapable of serving in the office. Instead, the only way a candidate’s name could be removed would be for that person to die after the primary and

before Sept. 1. The candidate’s party would be required to appoint a replacement.

The bill is in response to a situation last year in which Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Chad Taylor abruptly dropped out of the race, leaving independent Greg Orman to face incumbent Republican Sen. Pat Roberts. Kobach fought to keep Taylor on the ballot, and then to force the Democrats to name a replacement, but the Kansas Supreme Court allowed Taylor to withdraw and a special court panel ruled that Democrats didn’t have to name a replacement.

Rep. Jim Ward, a Wichita Democrat who serves on the House Judiciary Committee, said the measure isn’t worth the Legislature’s time.

“Most people have moved on to the budget and education crisis we’re facing,” he said.

23 percent.

The CDC said it first started conducting annual vaccine effectiveness studies in 2004.

Since that time, vaccines have ranged from 10 to 60 percent in effectiveness.

Regardless, Norman said it is still important to receive the vaccine

since it will help prevent more severe cases.

“Imagine if somebody came up to you and said, ‘I can reduce your risk of cancer by 23 percent,’” Norman said. “I think it’s important that people put it in perspective.

Twenty-three percent reduction of risk is a significant benefit.”

Topeka — A House committee chaired

by Lawrence Republican Tom Sloan introduced a bill Thursday that would provide up to $100 million a year in additional money for colleges and universities in Kansas to upgrade and maintain their buildings and infrastructure.

The bill was introduced one day after the Kansas Board of Regents heard a report detailing a backlog of $829 million worth of deferred maintenance needs at the state’s six universities, 19 community colleges and six technical colleges.

BRIEFLY County Commission Washington in 1985, Relay Life has become a meetings change time For worldwide fundraising

The Douglas County Commission’s weekly evening meetings will now begin about a half-hour sooner, at 6 p.m. every Wednesday.

The commission frequently holds two meetings every Wednesday, one at 4 p.m. to discuss administrative items and one in the evenings for public interCOUNTY est items.

COMMISSION Since the early 1990s, the commission convened for those evening meetings at 6:35 p.m., County Administrator Craig Weinaug said. But at this week’s meeting, commissioners and county staff expressed an interest in meeting sooner in the day to expedite the entire process.

Weinaug said the matter could be dealt with administratively and said Thursday that all evening sessions from now on will begin at 6 p.m. The afternoon meetings will remain at 4 p.m.

The Lawrence City Commission also decided in December to move its weekly session from 6:35 p.m. to 5:45 p.m. for the month of January. If the time change goes well, 5:45 p.m. would become the permanent start time.

event for the American Cancer Society.

Those interested in forming a team for the relay are invited to the Team Captain open house on Jan. 27 at the Lawrence Public Library’s auditorium, the release said. The open house will be held from 5:30 to 7 p.m.

A traditional team captain meeting will also be held that evening from 6 to 6:30 p.m.

Train derailment injures three Benedict — Authorities say three people were hurt and taken to a hospital after a train hit a truck hauling gravel in southeast Kansas.

Wilson County officials said in a news release that the collision Thursday near Benedict also caused the train to derail, shutting down Kansas 39.

Wilson County Emergency Manager Terry Lyons says eight empty train cars and two engines jumped the tracks. The condition of the injured people wasn’t immediately known.

Police look for man impersonating officer

Douglas County is once again preparing for the annual Relay For Life fundraising campaign.

With proceeds going to the American Cancer Society, the 2015 relay is scheduled for June 12-13, the Douglas County Relay For Life’s planning committee said in a release.

The event will be held at the Free State High School track.

Originally started in

Marysville — Officials in northeast Kansas are warning people to be on the lookout for a man who is impersonating a police officer who stops vehicles and demands to be allowed to search them.

Five incidents have been reported this week.

KCLY reports the first report came in Sunday evening. On Wednesday night, the man stopped a vehicle near Liberty, Neb., just north of Marysville.

The man, who wears a black uniform with a badge, uses a single red light on his white 4-door truck. He is described as white, in his 40s, about 6-foot-1, with brown hair and a black mustache.

Report: Pell Grants are falling short

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — More than 37 percent of students attending four-year universities in Kansas received Pell Grants last year, far more than the national average, according to a report delivered Thursday to the Kansas Board of Regents.

But those grants, which covered up to 99 percent of the cost of tuition and fees a decade ago, now only cover about 63 percent of the cost.

“I don’t think there’s any doubt that as tuition has gone up, there’s been

“It was going to be a tough sell to begin with,” Sloan said. “I have an appointment with the chairman (Rep. Marvin Kleeb, R-Overland Park) next week.”

about $80 million a year, which he said is about $20 million less than they need just to pay for what he called “mission-critical” projects.

Under Sloan’s bill, that levy could go as high as 4 mills, or $46 a year in tax on a $100,000 home. But the Regents would first have to submit a list of projects and their expected costs to

That report said Kansas awards an average of $123 per student in financial aid, well below the national average of $561 per student.

The Foresight 2020 report showed that many more students at community colleges and technical schools receive Pell Grants, but the numbers have been declining in recent years.

At community colleges, 38.6 percent of students received Pell Grants last year, down from 65 percent in the 2011-2012 academic year.

about 80,000 square feet, but that accounted for only about a 3.8 percent vacancy rate.

The low vacancy rates will create for an interesting 2015, Bittenbender predicted. There has been interest in building a new retail development southeast of the Iowa Street and South Lawrence Trafficway interchange, but it has not yet won city approval. There also have been efforts to lure retailers to an undeveloped area around the Rock Chalk Park sports complex in northwest Lawrence.

“I would think we’ll see some additional construction or at least see some additional projects approved in 2015,” Bittenbender said of the retail front.

The report also looked at office and industrial vacancy rates in the city. l The office vacancy rate ended the year at 9.6 percent, up from about 9.4 percent a year ago. It remains below the Kansas City and national averages, which are between 11 percent and 12 percent. l The industrial vacancy rate fell to 6.1

percent, down from 7.4 percent in 2014. That puts Lawrence on par with the average vacancy rate in Kansas City and slightly below the national rate of about 8 percent.

Bittenbender said 2015 could be a strong year for new industrial development, now that the South Lawrence Trafficway is moving toward a 2016 opening and the city’s new Lawrence VenturePark industrial center at the former Farmland Industries site in eastern Lawrence is open.

the Department of Revenue, which would then determine where the property tax levy would need to be set in order to generate the amount needed.

Officials in the Legislature’s nonpartisan Research Department said if the full additional 3 mills were levied, that would generate about $94.5 million beginning in fiscal year 2017 and a total of $412 million over five years.

In addition to funding building and facility maintenance needs, Sloan’s bill would also authorize schools to use the additional money to expand their broadband capacity, human and plant genome research, and aviation research.

“There are some projects that are important

to me because they’re important to faculty members when I talk to them,” Sloan said. “The money can also be used for other things. That’s my clear intention in that bill.” ®

Even faculty get writer’s block; KU Writing Center’s Day of Writing offers boost

By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

When Hsin-Ying Chiu finds extra time in the day, the Kansas University assistant professor of physics is less likely to sit down and write than knock out other tasks.

Responding to email is easier and preparing the next day’s lectures more pressing.

“You can always find something different to do,” Chiu said.

The KU Writing Center gets that.

On Thursday, the center played host to its first Faculty-Staff Day of Writing. The daylong event included blocks of time for writing in the picturesque Sabatini Multicultural Resource Center, on-site writing consultants and a workshop.

“

Finding time to write can be very difficult.

It requires a lot of self-discipline.”

— KU Writing Center Director Terese Thonus

The center’s Graduate Research Write-Ins have become increasingly popular, drawing 80 to 100 students to each of the five events a year on KU’s Lawrence campus, KU Writing Center Director Terese Thonus said.

Academic and professional writing is just as important and can be just as challenging for faculty and staff.

The center started faculty writing groups this past fall and had about 15 regular participants, Thonus said. Thursday’s event also drew about 15 participants.

The goal is providing a venue for writing time and peer feedback, as well as accountability, Thonus said.

Even though it can fall victim to a busy schedule, writing often requires the most brain-power, so scheduling regular time when you’re most alert — and least distracted, which sometimes requires escaping to another locale — can help, Thonus said.

“Finding time to write can be very difficult,” she said. “It requires a lot of self-discipline.”

Chiu started attend-

ing the Writing Center’s faculty writing groups in the fall. During Thursday’s Day of Writing, she made progress on a manuscript for a peerreviewed research journal article.

Erik Scott, assistant professor of history, was there, too, working on a conference paper on what he described as the Socialist Black Sea. At the Sabatini Center, he had a floor-to-ceiling view of Marvin Grove and the campanile (his own office has no window, he said), plus a little extra motivation.

“It sets aside a block of time, and there’s accountability that comes with being in a room of other people writing,” he said.

I’d like to know why the post office at Seventh and Vermont streets no longer flies its flag. It wasn’t up one recent day and it was only one day the week before that. I thought they were supposed to fly the flag every day they were open.

A:

The U.S. Post Office at 645 Vermont St. flies its flag during its operational hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 9 a.m. to noon on Saturdays. The post office does not fly its flag during inclement weather such as rain, snow or ice. The post office does not fly its flag 24 hours a day because it does not have a light to illuminate the flag in the dark, a post office supervisor said.

Knowledge gap A surprising statement during a meeting this week may indicate members of the Kansas Board of Regents need to learn more about the system they oversee.

A

discussion this week about qualified admissions at state universities prompted a rather stunning statement from a member of the Kansas Board of Regents.

While expressing her concern that the three university admissions criteria for Kansas high school graduates may be too low, Regent Robba Moran acknowledged, “This is the first time in the four years I’ve been on the board that I realized the third step is only a 2.0 GPA.” We hope Moran is the only regent in that situation, but the fact that even one regent apparently lacks such basic knowledge of the state university admissions requirements is amazing.

Qualified admissions have been in effect in Kansas for more than a decade.

To gain automatic admission to one of the state’s six universities, Kansas high school graduates must score at least 21 on the ACT exam or 980 on the SAT, graduate in the top third of their class or complete a pre-college high school curriculum and graduate with a 2.0 GPA. It’s not like these standards haven’t been discussed by the regents since Moran was appointed to the board in 2011. For instance, they had to be part of the discussion in 2012, when the regents approved some new, higher qualified admissions standards for Kansas University.

The possibility of raising the state’s qualified admissions standards is a good discussion for the Board of Regents to have. KU sought higher standards because it was trying to boost its retention rate and the number of students who complete degrees in four years — two factors that contribute to the university’s national rankings. Admitting poorly prepared students to the state’s six universities wastes vital resources for the universities, as well as for students and their families.

Maybe, in the context of the discussion, Moran’s statement wasn’t as alarming as it sounds, but her apparent lack of knowledge about an important university issue doesn’t inspire much confidence in the board responsible for overseeing higher education in Kansas.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Jan. 16, 1915: “The Parent-Teacher organization of Pinckney school held years its meeting Friday in the Audiago torium of the High School and IN 1915 several teachers and parents of other schools attended. Mr. W. A. McKeever gave a talk on moving pictures and their censorship…. Following this the audience was entertained with moving pictures, comprising educational, mysterious, amusing and story-depicting films. In all four pictures there was nothing objectionable shown, strongly emphasizing the point that it is possible and easy to show good elevating pictures with nothing whatever of a degrading nature. It was suggested that it would be a good investment for Lawrence to own a machine and show good pictures in connection with school work.”

‘War’ is wrong way to fight terrorism Washington — In the days after the deadly attack in Paris on Charlie Hebdo magazine, France declared “war” on terrorism, 10,000 French paramilitary police took to the streets and U.S. conservatives chided President Obama for not leading this new war against jihadists.

Sorry, but this war-onterror mobilization is the wrong response to the Charlie Hebdo tragedy. It would repeat mistakes the United States made in its reaction to Sept. 11, 2001.

Watching the jihadist fire raging on the Internet and in lone-wolf attacks in Paris and other cities, frightened citizens (and opportunistic politicians) want a top-down command response. It’s tempting to imagine a 21st-century version of a “mighty Wurlitzer,” as the CIA dubbed its covert anti-communist messaging in the late 1940s and ’50s. Such propaganda strategies are understandable, but they’re also wrong.

What’s a convincing counterterrorism message?

Listen to Malek Merabet, a Frenchman of Algerian descent who eulogized his brother Ahmed, a policeman slain in the Paris attacks. He said after the funeral: “My brother was Muslim, and he was killed by people who pretend to be Muslims. They are terrorists, that’s it.”

After the Paris tragedy, terrorism analysts found links to al-Qaida in Yemen and the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. But rather than seeing this as a directed conspiracy, it may be more

French press accounts suggest the trio are closer to what former CIA officer Marc Sageman calls ‘leaderless jihad’ than the 9/11 model of core al-Qaida.” useful to analyze the streetgang and prison connections of Said and Cherif Kouachi, the Charlie Hebdo gunmen, and Amedy Coulibaly, the man who attacked the Kosher deli. French press accounts suggest the trio are closer to what former CIA officer Marc Sageman calls “leaderless jihad” than the 9/11 model of core al-Qaida.

“The role of religion in all of this is dangerously exaggerated,” says a former State Department official who’s now organizing privatesector efforts to counter extremism. “When we get stuck in a religious debate we are never going to win, we miss the point, which is that extremists are offering young people a sense of belonging, an outlet for adventure, and some kind of enhanced status. To combat this, we have to appeal to

them as young people more than we have to appeal to them as Muslims.”

What has the U.S. learned from a decade of debilitating battles against al-Qaida?

Over the past week, I’ve put that question to counterterrorism experts in the White House and across government, and gotten some pointed answers.

First, the U.S. isn’t a credible voice in telling Muslims what real Islam is all about.

The pushback against violent extremists has to come from religious centers in Egypt, Saudi Arabia and elsewhere in the Muslim world. A good example of what’s needed was Egyptian President Abdel Fatah alSissi’s recent call for a “religious revolution” against violent extremism. U.S. technology can help drive such messages through social media, but America cannot be the originator.

Second, U.S. officials have learned that the best domestic programs for combating violent extremists are bottom-up efforts where local law enforcement works with Muslim and other community organizations. When three teenage girls from Denver were radicalized online and wanted to fight in Syria last year, the local Muslim community saw the warning signs and they were stopped. At a later community meeting, an official from the National Counterterrorism Center showed pictures of a knife, a gun and a cellphone — and warned that the phone was poten-

tially the most dangerous.

Cooperation between police and local Muslim leaders will be the centerpiece of a White House meeting Feb. 18 on countering violent extremism. The session will examine success stories in Boston, Los Angeles and Minneapolis. Officials are realizing that there is a continuum between youth-gang criminal activity and terrorist mobilization. According to Australian analyst Sam Mullins, “terrorists must acquire criminal skill sets in order to be able to perform their role successfully.”

A third lesson learned is that effective messaging against terrorism must use social media to create what one U.S. official calls a “network of networks.” An example is the “Against Violent Extremism” network sponsored by Google Ideas in 2011. It now includes 300 former jihadists, gang members and radical nationalists who provide online counseling to potential extremists.

One innovative British project is “Abdullah-X,” created by a former jihadist. When a youth in Britain searches the Internet for information about traveling to Syria for jihad, he can get a targeted ad with an animated cartoon figure countering extremism. Says one cartoon installment: “You have to kill others to make your world purer. This is what you think Islam is? Are you for real?”

Arguments against pipeline are silly Washington — Not since the multiplication of the loaves and fishes near the Sea of Galilee has there been creativity as miraculous as that of the Keystone XL pipeline. It has not yet been built but already is perhaps the most constructive infrastructure project since the Interstate Highway System. It has accomplished an astonishing trifecta: It has made mincemeat of Barack Obama’s pose of thoughtfulness. It has demonstrated that he lacks even a rudimentary understanding of the most basic economic realities. It has dramatized environmentalism’s descent into infantilism.

“

To oppose the pipeline is to favor more oil being transported by trains, which have significant carbon footprints, and accidents. To do this in the name of environmental fastidiousness is hilarious.”

Obama entered the presidency trailing clouds of intellectual self-regard. His carefully cultivated persona was of a uniquely thoughtful, judicious, deliberative, evidencedriven man comfortable with complexity. The protracted consideration of Keystone supposedly displayed these virtues. Now, however, it is clear that his mind has always been as closed as an unshucked oyster.

America built the Empire State Building, then the world’s tallest office building, in 410 days during the Depression. We built the Pentagon, still the world’s largest low-rise office building, in 16

months while waging a war across two oceans. Keystone has been studied for more than six years. And Obama considers this insufficient?

Actually, there no longer is any reason to think he has ever reasoned about this. He said he would not make up his mind until the Nebraska court ruled. It ruled to permit construction, so he promptly vowed to veto authorization of construction.

The more he has talked about Keystone, the less economic understanding he has demonstrated. On Nov. 14, he said Keystone is merely about “providing the ability of Canada to pump their oil, send it through our land, down to the Gulf, where it will be sold everywhere else. That doesn’t have an impact on U.S. gas prices.” By Dec. 19, someone with remarkable patience had explained to him that there is a world market price for oil, so he said, correctly, that Keystone would have a “nominal” impact on oil prices, but then went on to disparage job creation by Keystone. He said it would create “a couple thousand” jobs (the State Department study says approximately 42,100 “direct, indirect, and induced”) and said, unintelligibly, “those are temporary jobs until the construction actually happens.” Well.

Obama revealed his economic sophistication years ago when he said that ATMs

and airport ticket kiosks cost jobs. He does not understand that, outside of government, which is all that he knows or respects, all jobs are “temporary.”

John Tamny, editor of RealClearMarkets and an editor of Forbes, notes that Borders had 10,700 employees and 399 bookstores until it had none of either, thanks in part to Amazon, whose 150,000 employees have probably participated in enough creative destruction to know that permanence is a chimera. Blockbuster — remember that? remember late fees? — had 60,000 employees and more than 9,000 stores until rivals such as Netflix appeared.

To oppose the pipeline is to favor more oil being transported by trains, which have significant carbon footprints, and accidents. To do this in the name of environmental fastidiousness is hilarious. America has more than 2 million miles of natural gas pipelines and approximately 175,000 miles of pipelines carrying hazardous liquids, yet we are exhorted to be frightened about 1,179 miles of Keystone?

Or about the oil itself?

Appearing on “Fox News Sunday,” Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., objected that if Congress authorizes construction of Keystone this “would take consideration out of the hands of the administration,” and “out of the current

administration process.”

Leave aside the question of how much of this processthat-proceeds-nowhere Coons considers enough. And ignore the peculiarity of a legislator dismayed that the legislative branch might actually set national policy. But note the following, not because Coons is eccentric but because he is representative of Democratic reasoning: “Keystone means unlocking the Canadian tar sands, some of the dirtiest sources of energy on the planet and allowing those tar sands to go across our American Midwest and then reach the international economy and our environment.”

No jury would convict Coons of sincerity. Anyone intelligent enough to express that nonsense is too intelligent to believe it. Coons cannot believe that, absent Keystone, Canada will leave vast wealth — the world’s third-largest proven crude oil reserve, larger than Iran’s — untapped. The Canadian oil is going into the international market, and much of it into internal combustion engines around the world, even if this displeases Democratic senators who have demonstrated a willingness to look ludicrous rather than deviate from an especially silly component of today’s environmental catechism.

Politics

ansas Chief Justice Lawton Nuss will deliver the annual State of the Judiciary speech at 12:30 p.m.

Wednesday, and for the second year in a row it will be delivered from the courtroom of the Supreme Court instead of from the House of Representatives.

In a statement, the court said Nuss decided to speak from the courtroom, in part to make it available to the public via webcast, “to address the public’s interest in the impact of state revenue shortfalls on the Judicial Branch budget.”

Last year, though, House Speaker Ray Merrick, R-Stilwell, denied Nuss’ request to speak from the floor of the House, suggesting he

Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

could deliver the address in writing, adding: “I just think it’s time that could be put to better use on other things.”

That move was seen as symbolic of the strained relationship between the court and conservatives in the Legislature. Much of that stems from the court’s 2005 ruling in a school finance case in

which the court threatened to close public schools if the Legislature did not appropriate more funding.

Last year at this time, lawmakers were awaiting the court’s ruling in yet another school finance case, and Gov. Sam Brownback alluded to that directly in his State of the State address — while looking directly at Nuss who was in the audience — when he said: “Let us resolve that our schools remain open and are not closed by the courts or anyone else.”

This year, many are expecting lawmakers to consider a constitutional amendment that would change the way Supreme Court justices are selected.

Brownback delivered the address from the Kansas House of Representatives chamber before the full Legislature, members of the Supreme Court, his cabinet, the Kansas Board of Regents, the State Board of Education and many invited guests.

Brownback enters his second term with the state facing a projected $279 million revenue shortfall for the last half of the current year, plus another $436 million shortfall for the fiscal year that begins July 1.

Budget analysts say most of that is due to the sweeping tax cuts enacted, at Brownback’s urging, during the 2012 and 2013 sessions. But Brownback laid the blame squarely on the school finance formula itself.

School finance “A majority of the projected shortfall we face is due to increases in K-12 spending since Fiscal Year 2014,” Brownback said, repeating it a second time for emphasis. The prepared text of his speech included a footnote citing his upcoming budget documents, which won’t be released until Friday.

He proposed repealing the law in its entirety and, for the next two years, appropriating money directly to each of the state’s 286 school districts, bypassing the Kansas State Department of Education, while lawmakers work to write a new formula.

“For decades now, Kansas has struggled under a school finance formula which is designed not to be understood — to frustrate efforts at accountability and

tions and Senate Ways and Means committees.

And in a break from past practice, the governor’s budget staff will not hold a separate briefing for the news media in which reporters were traditionally given the opportunity to ask specific questions about the budget.

He did, however, say that he will propose a two-year budget for the upcoming fiscal year and the one that starts July 1, 2016, and that he wants to continue the process of phasing out the state income tax entirely.

Elections and judges Meanwhile, Brownback also called for changing the method of local elections and of selecting Kansas Supreme Court justices.

An interim legislative committee spent several months studying alternatives for the timing of local elections. The Legislature has considered bills in previous sessions to move them from the spring of odd-numbered years to November of even-numbered years, coinciding with state and federal races.

Brownback said spring elections typically produce extremely low turnout, and he said moving them to the fall would help get more voters involved in local government races.

Regarding the Supreme Court, Brownback said: “The Legislature should put before Kansas voters a proposed constitutional amendment for a more democratic selection process — one either based on the federal model or providing for direct election of Supreme Court justices, as we did for the first 100 years of our history.”

Currently, a nonpartisan nominating commission screens applicants for a Supreme Court position and sends three nominees to the governor.

efficiency,” Brownback said.

“Not surprisingly, that formula has been under litigation in Kansas for the past 40 years,” he added.

Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, D-Topeka, pointed out that the formula has only been in place for 22 years and called that statement an example of the “misinformation” that Brownback and other Republicans have used to attack school funding.

“We don’t have to litigate the school finance formula if (lawmakers) would meet their constitutional duty under Article 6 of the Kansas Constitution and fund the formula fully,” Hensley said.

Brownback offered no details about how that would work, but his speech left open the possibility that the Legislature would have to write budgets for all 286 districts — and each district possibly having to come to Topeka to lobby for funding — with no formula to guide them in deciding how much any individual district should get.

“It’s a bad idea,” said Rep. Barbara Ballard, DLawrence, who serves on the House budget-writing committee. “By what criteria are you going to decide to give that money to those schools?”

Kansas currently spends more than $3 billion a year, or about half of the entire general fund, for K-12 public education. That includes about $1.9 billion in base state aid, plus funding for special education, pension contributions and so-called “equalization” aid for less wealthy districts.

JANUARY 16, 2015

Foreclosures fall 29 percent in 2014 LOS ANGELES — A healthier U.S. housing market and economy helped to winnow foreclosures in 2014 to levels not seen since before the housing bust.

The decline is the latest evidence of how foreclosures have diminished in recent years from a national crisis to a largely market-specific concern.

While foreclosures remain elevated in many populous metropolitan areas, such as New York, Philadelphia and San Diego, they have declined annually overall in recent years, and 2014 was no exception.

The number of homes repossessed by banks fell

29 percent last year to the lowest level since 2006, a year before the subprime mortgage crisis erupted, according to data released Thursday by foreclosure listing firm RealtyTrac Inc.

process last year, according to RealtyTrac. That represents a 70 percent drop from their 2009 peak of about 2.14 million homes.

One reason for the drop: fewer homes entered the foreclosure process last year.

Nearly 1.5 million homes returned to positive equity — when a home is valued at more than what the owner U.S. home sales slumped owes on the mortgage — in much of last year after a the 12 months ended Sept. three-year rebound, held back 30, according to CoreLogic. by flat incomes, tight credit Some 5.1 million homes, or and rising home prices.

10.3 percent of all homes with a mortgage, remained While the steady, albeit in negative equity — when slower pickup in home the value of a home falls values last year likely below what is owed on the squeezed some potential buyers out of the market, it mortgage — as of Sept. 30, continued to lift property the firm said.

Foreclosure starts tumbled 14 percent versus a year earlier to the lowest level since 2006, the firm said.

“Foreclosures are no longer a threat to home values nationwide,” said Daren Blomquist, a vice president at RealtyTrac.

All told, 643,193 U.S. homes entered the foreclosure

Completed foreclosures, or homes that were taken back by lenders, fell to 327,069.

That’s down 69 percent from their peak of 1.05 million five years ago.

values for homeowners.

When home prices rise, it can help homeowners build or recover equity, which can make it easier to qualify for refinancing or sell rather than ending up in foreclosure.

While fewer homes entered the foreclosure process last year, they rose on an annual basis in December for the second month in row.

Among the states where foreclosure starts increased in December from a year earlier were Massachusetts, New Jersey and Nevada.

The increase stemmed largely from home loans that were made between 2004 and 2008, before banks tightened lending standards. Many of those mortgages represent loans gone unpaid for years that are only now entering the foreclosure path, often because of logjams in states where the courts play a role in the foreclosure process.

Not all states saw completed foreclosures decline last year.

Nine states registered an increase from 2013, including Maryland, New York, Oregon and New Jersey.

“This foreclosure market is normalizing, but it’s still heavily skewed to the bubble years,” Blomquist said.

As of Dec. 31, some 421,164 homes were owned by banks but not yet sold, down 17 percent from a year earlier, RealtyTrac said. Another 642,927 homes were in some stage of the foreclosure process, an 11 percent decline.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Lily

Hello! Meet Lily.

Lily is a big girl at about 61 lbs. She is a gorgeous Boxer mix with black brown brindle markings. She loves people and does well in a home, but she really needs to be the only animal in the family. In her opinion, she is awesome enough that you shouldn’t need another furry friend anyway. She is 2 years old and has lots of love and attention to offer. She would also like it if you are an active person.

Self says Ellis not far from breakout

By Gary Bedore

KANSAS FOOTBALL

The right stuff

gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University forward Perry Ellis’ shooting percentage — which topped at a sizzling 54.9 percent last year — has dipped to 41.7 percent through 16 games of his junior season.

Nobody’s panicking over the decline in accuracy, which this season has included a 1-for-10 outing against Temple, 1 - f o r - 8 a g a i n s t Oklahoma State and 1-for-6 versus Kentucky.

“I think Ellis that Perry is just a fraction away from doing the things that we had envisioned him to do,” KU coach Bill Self said of the team’s second-leading scorer, who takes a 12.2 ppg average (to Frank Mason III’s 12.4) UP NEXT into Saturday’s 8 p.m., Who: Kansas contest at (14-2, 3-0) Iowa State. vs. Iowa “I think State (12-3, one thing 2-1) he has to do, he’s got to When: 8 be a player p.m. Saturthat’s ag- day g r e s s i v e Where: and believe Ames, Iowa that he’s the TV: ESPN best player (WOW! chanon the floor nels 33, every night, 233) because when he plays well, he is, and he’s proven that. I think Perry is going through a little bit of a situation where maybe we’re winning (14-2, 3-0) and maybe it’s OK for him to defer like he has in years past, because the end result has been OK. And that’s not good for us.” Self added.

“He’s got to be the most aggressive guy looking to score every night we play.

Even if he misses shots, he makes things happen if he’s aggressive. I don’t think he’s far off at all, and certainly his talent level is as good or as better as it has been since he’s been here. I think he’s got to be our go-to guy, and I don’t think he’s far off.

I wouldn’t be surprised at him having a big game and a series of big games very soon. I really see him taking off the last half of our season.”

Ellis is the kind of player, Self said, who “remembers his misses where some guys don’t remember their misses. He remembers his screw-ups because he’s conscientious, like you would want your son to be, whereas a lot of coaches would just as soon not coach your son. They would rather have some guys that can’t remember their bad plays.

“I think he’s almost too sweet and too nice a kid at times when things are not going well. One thing that I worry about with our entire team is our body language.

I don’t think we have been a great body language team and I think Perry is one of those guys that can improve on that,” Self noted.

The low-key Ellis admits “sometime I do (put pressure on himself). It’s something I’m always trying to get better at, let the game come to me, try to work on going out and having fun.”

KANSAS UNIVERSITY LINEBACKERS COACH KEVIN KANE visits with the media Wednesday during an introductory session with the KU football team’s assistant coaches.

New linebackers coach Kane a good fit Mark Mangino had one scholarship left for his first recruiting class and he didn’t want to spend it on a player who would amount to Mr. Irrelevant. Legendary Rockhurst High football coach Tony Severino remembers the conversation he had about a 205-pound Hawklet linebacker in his office with Mangino.

“I remember Mark said, ‘Coach, are you sure?’ I said, ‘I’m telling you right now, this guy can play. This guy’s a football player,’ ” Severino said Thursday by phone.

Severino was right and Mangino was wise to trust the coach’s word. Kevin Kane proved to be just what his high school coach said he was, a football player.

Not a blue-chip prospect, a football player. He didn’t look any better on the stop watch than he did on the scale. But he sure looks good to this day on the Memorial Stadium scoreboard when the play that I still consider the one that best symbolizes Kansas turning into a winning program under Mangino is shown. Kane returned an interception 41 yards to give Kansas a 16-point lead midway through the fourth

quarter on the way to a 40-15 victory in 2005 against Nebraska, which had gone 36 consecutive years without losing to Kansas.

Kane, whose career lasted from 2002 through 2005, twice was named honorable mention All-Big 12 and earned Academic All-Big 12 honors three times.

After graduating from KU, Kane spent two years in the athletic department, the first year in administration, then as a graduate assistant for Mangino in the Orange Bowl season. Then he built his coaching resume at Wisconsin (2008-10) and Northern Illinois (2011-2014).

Kane is back as linebackers coach, working under defensive coordinator Clint Bowen Journal-World File Photo and head coach David Beaty.

Perry hiring completes Jayhawks’ staff

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Kansas University football coach David Beaty on Thursday officially announced the hiring of defensive backs coach Kenny Perry, who becomes the last full-time assistant coach to join Beaty’s staff.

Perry, whom sources told The Journal-World on Wednesday was leaving TCU to come to Kansas, also will serve as the Jayhawks’

co-defensive coordinator.

P e r r y comes to KU with serious recruiting ties in the state of Texas, where Perry he spent 13 seasons as a head coach at three different high schools. Several sources in the college football coaching community have said that Perry was among the best

hires Beaty made on his first staff, and the first-year KU coach appears to agree.

“Coach Perry is a huge key for us not only from a coaching perspective, but from a recruiting perspective as well,” Beaty said in a news release confirming the hire. “He is a well-respected former Texas high school football coach who was instrumental in the development of the North Texas High School Coaches Association.

“(He) is the definition of relationships and development. His ability to connect with kids and get them to reach new heights in their careers is what has set him apart as one of the finest coaches in our profession.

Yes, he is a dear friend, but make no mistake, he is here because he is very talented and can help us build something we can all be proud of here at Kansas. I’m fired up Please see FOOTBALL, page 3C

Pitch clock to be used in minors this season Paradise Valley, Ariz. (ap) — A pitch clock will be used this season during minor league games at Triple-A and Double-A, but it has been ruled out for the major leagues this year.

Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig said Thursday the decision to use the pitch-clock in the minors followed a successful experiment in the Arizona Fall League.

MLB officials said details will be announced later, such as how much time will be allowed between pitches and other speed-up measures to be tested in the minors.

Speed-up rules cannot be put in place in the major leagues this year without approval of the players’ union, and baseball officials said a pitch-clock had been ruled out for this season “We’re in the midst of discussions with the union regarding potential changes,” Selig said following his final owners’ meeting as commissioner, “so it’s premature to discuss any details for this coming season at this point in time.”

Selig said he is “very pleased with the progress we’ve made so far but Yogi (Berra) once said it ain’t over ‘til it’s over, so we’re going to have to wait until it’s over.”

In the Fall League experiment, pitchers had to throw within 12 seconds with no runners on base and within 20 seconds when a base was occupied.

There was a maximum of 2:05 between innings and a 2:30 limit for a pitching change.

Additionally, hitters were required to have one foot in the batter’s box at all times.

Selig is to retire Jan. 25 and be replaced by Rob Manfred.

OHIO STATE QUARTERBACK CARDALE JONES LEAVES A NEWS CONFERENCE THURSDAY IN CLEVELAND after announcing he would not declare for the 2015 NFL draft.

Cardale Jones says he will return to Buckeyes Columbus, Ohio — Quarterback Cardale Jones shocked the college football world in three late-season starts leading Ohio State to the national championship.

He surprised a packed crowd again on Thursday, declaring at his old high school in Cleveland that he would return to the Buckeyes rather than jump into the NFL draft.

“My decision was very simple. I had to talk it over with my family, my friends, my coaching staff,” he said. “I’m going to return next year for school.”

That sentence was met with audible gasps in the gymnasium, then applause from students and teachers.

Jones, who spent a year at a military school and also had a redshirt season with the Buckeyes, could have turned pro. In his only college starts he led Ohio State to wins in the Big Ten title game, the Sugar Bowl and Monday night’s national championship.

NFL

Chiefs extend training camp Kansas City, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs will continue to spend training camp on the campus of Missouri Western after the school’s board of governors approved a three-year contract extension Friday.

The decision will keep the Chiefs heading

north of Kansas City through 2017. Their agreement also includes two extensions of one-year each at the option of the Chiefs and the school.

The Chiefs used to hold training camp in Wisconsin in part because of the cooler late summer weather. But they moved closer to home in 2010, striking a deal with the Division II school in St. Joseph that included help with major facility upgrades.

The location also makes it possible for more fans to attend workouts. This past season, the local visitor’s bureau estimated 40,000 fans attended the practices.

St. Louis needs new stadium St. Louis — Local planners must build a new football stadium here, or St. Louis will not hold onto its franchise, a key National Football League executive said on Thursday.

NFL Executive Vice President Eric Grubman, who is in charge of stadium development as well as developing the Los Angeles market, came to St. Louis on Thursday to meet with Gov. Jay Nixon’s two-man stadium team.

He confirmed, for the first time ever by a league official, that St. Louis Rams owner Stan Kroenke is indeed “looking” elsewhere.

“I’m not going to get into specifics, other than he’s said he’s going to keep his options open and he’s looking,” Grubman said.

Free State swimmers cruise to victory

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Jordan Portela’s teammates just laughed. Opponents just shook their heads. No one is surprised by the two-time boys swimming state champion anymore.

In the final event of the Free State Invitational on Thursday, the Firebirds were trailing Washburn Rural in the 400-yard freestyle relay. Down by more than four seconds, the sophomore Portela raced down Washburn Rural’s anchor John Fritsch, and made his move in the final 25 yards to win the race by 0.29 seconds.

last Saturday, he acknowledged he’d been in ... “a slump. It’s something the coaches have my back, they just want me to continue attacking in practice and are trying to help me out. Coach is always saying, ‘Go hard to the hole and try to dunk.’’’

Junior Landen Lucas said he has full confidence in Ellis, noting that he’s been spending extra time in the gym and been going up to the basketball offices and “talking to coaches” as well.

“We know the talent level is there. The skill set is there. Once he gets back on track it’ll be a quick change everybody will see,” Lucas said.

“It’s something where I’ve got to come next day to practice, keep shooting and you get past it,” Ellis said of a slump.

The 6-8, 225-pounder noted it has been a bit more difficult finishing inside this season.

“Having Jo Jo (Embiid, now with Philadelphia 76ers) out there took a lot of the spotlight off me.

Perry joins Rob Likens (offensive coordinator/quarterbacks), Clint Bowen (defensive coordinator/defensive backs), Zach Yenser (offensive line), Calvin Thibodeaux (defensive line), Klint Kubiak (wide receivers), Gary Hyman (special teams/tight ends), Reggie Mitchell (running backs/ recruiting coordinator), Kevin Kane (linebackers) and Je’Ney Jackson (director of strength and conditioning) on the KU staff.

Sprint to the finish With the KU coaching staff fully in place, Beaty and company wasted no time in getting out on the road in an attempt to fill the final few spots in the 2015 recruiting class.

With the eight midyear signees expected to arrive on campus next week and 11 others in the class orally committed, KU has six spots remaining in the current crop of newcomers. A source with knowledge of KU’s recruiting said the staff likely would focus its final push on offensive linemen, linebackers, a wide receiver, a defensive back and possibly a quarterback.

“We gotta finish up this recruiting class because that’s the foundation for the future, so that’s all we’ve been doing,” Lik-

It was the exclamation point on the Firebirds’ victory in their five-team invitational at the Indoor Aquatic Center. The win put a stamp on Senior Day, with Free State recording 589 points over runner-up Washburn Rural’s 453.

“Jordan never surprises me,” said senior Josh Terrell, who swam the third leg of the relay. “I tried my best to give him that space because I know he’s tired. But … I know he’s going to win just because how competitive and strong and fast he is.”

Portela, who also won in the 100 backstroke and 100 butterfly on Thurs-

day, knew Fritsch’s usual times and what he needed to do to secure a victory. He swam his leg in a blazing 47.35 seconds.

“I’ve done similar things like that before,” said Portela after being asked if he thought he could catch Fritsch.

“Kelly can’t remember (missed shots). He can be 0-of-4 and have three turnovers and he gets a deflection out of bounds and he thinks that’s the play that won the game which is the way it should be. I think that’s great.

That’s the way it should be, fun and enthusiastic like that,” Self said. l High praise: KU’s Wayne Selden Jr. was a teammate of ISU’s Georges Niang at Tilton (N.H) school and also with the Boston Amateur Basketball Club. “He’s the best player I played with until I got here,” Selden said, smiling. What about Nerlens Noel? “Best until I got here,” he repeated. l Monday’s festivities: KU athletics will honor former student-athletes who were instrumental in the desegregation of Lawrence during the late 1950s during Monday’s KU-Oklahoma game, to be contested on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Homer Floyd (football) and Ernie Shelby (track), who in 1957 expressed their intention to leave KU if some issues regarding discrimination in Lawrence were not addressed, will be introduced during the game. At 4:30 p.m.,

they will participate in a candlelight vigil at the Strong Hall Rotunda and walk with students from Strong Hall to the Kansas Union for a special social justice celebration.

Ivan Rabb, a 6-9 senior from Bishop O’Dowd High in Oakland, California, competed at the tourney with juniors Malik Monk, 6-3, Bentonville (Arkansas) High; V.J. King, 6-7, Paul VI High, Fairfax, Virginia and Harry Giles, 6-10 Wesleyan Christian Academy, WinstonSalem, North Carolina.

Rabb is ranked No. 7 in the Class of 2015 by Rivals.com. Giles is ranked No. 2, Monk No. 6 and King No. 18 in the Class of 2016. l Points down: Self was asked about scoring being down in college basketball this season.

“I think a lot of that is bad offense. I think a lot of it is, it’s easier to coach defense than offense and a lot of times easier to stop people than it is to exploit people,” Self said.

ens said Wednesday. “Me and Klint have been holed up in the office for three straight days just watching players — guys that we already have committed and other guys too.

We have a couple more scholarships to give out and we’re just trying to find the best guys that are available right now.”

Although mining the talent in Texas figures to be a big area of emphasis for this new staff, both now and in the future, new linebackers coach Kevin Kane, who played the position at KU from 2002-05, said landing athletes closer to campus would be a priority, as well.

“We’ve had a lot of good players here in the past from Kansas City and we can still get a lot of good ones,” said Kane, a Kansas City native, who played high school ball at Rockhurst High. “Whether it be on scholarship or in our walk-on program, the biggest part is to keep the local guys local. The local guys are what make this program go.”

ror what they want to do on the field,” Jackson said. “If we’re going to go fast (on the field) I can’t have them moving slow in the weight room. They have to get used to being at a high, high tempo and that’s what we’ll do. They have to be in great shape if we’re going to move quickly and we’re going to do things quickly, so they better be in great shape.”

FREE STATE SWIMMER ETHAN KALLENBERGER competes in the 200-yard individual medley during a FSHS quadrangular meet Thursday at Lawrence Indoor Aquatic Center.

“It just gets my heart pumped when I’m behind the blocks. My teammates did great, too. That last race, I really like anchoring the relay because it just puts pressure on me and I like being in that situation.”

The Firebirds won

every relay, and also won seven of the nine individual events. Terrell won the 100 breaststroke and narrowly lost to senior teammate Jack Ziegler in the 100 freestyle, losing by 0.26 seconds.

Terrell has only been swimming for the last four weeks, following a seven-month layoff because of a torn shoulder.

“I can’t believe where I’m at right now,” he said.

“I’m very happy with how the season is going.”

Ziegler also won in the 50 freestyle, junior Chad Bourdon won in the onemeter dive, and freshman

Evan Eskilson took first place in the 200 freestyle.

Eskilson has won four of the six individual events he’s entered this year with two second place finishes.

“Our younger guys are stepping up and swimming some faster times,” FSHS coach Annette McDonald said. “Our divers did really well. Chad taking first there, that was really exciting to see him do so well today. I’m really happy.”

“Actually some of the guys are swimming faster than we were planning at this point in time,” McDonald added, “so that’s really exciting.”

Kane CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

Kane, Severino will be pitching to him.

“Kevin brings a lot of good experience with him,” Severino said. “You can’t argue with the success Northern Illinois has had over the years. He’s a relentless recruiter. He goes after you. He’ll do a great job in Kansas City.

People know him. He’ll be a real presence. That’s what David had to get, someone who’s known in Kansas City.”

Kane has a tough job, convincing high school football players to sign with a program coming off its worst five-year run in history, but it’s not any tougher than developing into a two-year starter in the Big 12 after arriving at school with the size and speed normally associated with walk-ons. Kane was in the program when it turned, which makes his voice important in discussions of how to turn it again.

In 2005, Kansas broke a string of nine losing seasons, went 7-5 and won the Fort Worth Bowl with Kane, Banks Floodman and Big 12 defensive player of the year Nick Reid at linebacker.

How did Kansas do it?

“One, we were able to get kids who wanted to be here,” Kane said. “It was important to them. Two, we had some tough kids.

We were tough. Whether it was working out or fall camp, coach Mangino, if you made it through here, you were tough. And that was one thing, we weren’t scared of anybody when we walked on the field.

OK, you’re playing Texas, Oklahoma, it didn’t matter. We were confident and tough.”

What else?

“We had some football IQ on this team,” Kane said. “You get those types of kids, you’re going to have some success.

You’ve got to find them.

You’ve got to develop them, and you’ve got to keep going.”

Kane spent the past four seasons recruiting

those types of players to Northern Illinois, which compiled a 46-10 record in Kane’s four seasons there, the last three as linebackers coach with the added responsibility of special teams coordinator in his final two seasons. Add the records of the staffs for which he did lesser jobs at Wisconsin and Kansas and his career record is 86-22. That means he’s been exposed to the methods of multiple winning coaches.

Plenty of the winning plays on those teams were made by guys like him, who weren’t obvious prospects.

“You always hope to bring in the best guys who can come in and compete right away, but is that the reality? Not always,” said Kane, who grew to 230 pounds at KU and is back to 205. “... It’s more a prediction. Then when they get here you have to give them the tools to have success. We’ve hired a (former KU strength coach) Chris Dawson descendant (Je’Ney Jackson), which I’m fired-up about. I think Chris is one of the best in the business and it’s going to be very similar to what he has done. You can bring in guys who look like me and turn them into 230-, 235-pound guys who can help us.”

Kane said being so ignored as a recruit by most programs and going through such tough workouts at KU made him “play my entire career with a chip on my shoulder.”

The closer recruits are to home, the better said Kane, who also recruited Kansas City for Northern Illinois.

“It’s right in our back yard,” Kane said. “There are plenty of good football players in Kansas City. I was able to find those diamonds at Northern and then you develop them into good players.

There are tons of kids in Kansas City who want to play here. If you get a player who wants to play here, he’s going to work his tail off.”

A player like Kane was at Rockhurst and again at Kansas after sweat-

ing in the weight room and on the practice field and studying film and the playbook.

“A guy like Kevin Kane,” Severino said, “when things are going bad he ain’t gonna walk away form you. You can’t win a Big 12 championship playing with 20 Kevin Kanes. But you can win with five or six Kevin Kanes. Then if you’ve got five or six you have to run after and chase because they’re walking away from you when things are going bad, if you’ve got that solid base you don’t have to worry about, they can help you turn those other guys around.”

It won’t be easy to build the burnt bridges from the previous two KU head coaches who underrated Kansas City talent, but Severino sounded convinced Kane is the right guy to do it.

“It’s funny,” Severino said, “Kansas should have more of an inroad to Kansas City guys than Kansas State or Missouri. But you’re kind of in a Catch 22. You have to get the players to win games, but you have to win games to get the players.

“You probably have 15 Big 12-type players in Kansas City every year.

You’ve got to get your share of those. You’re not going to get them all, especially with Kansas State and Missouri doing so well, but you’ve got to get your share. The closer players are to the school, the more loyal they’re going to be. Those are the guys who are going to stay with you when things get tough.”

Kane came to KU from Parkville, Missouri, Reid from Derby, Floodman from Wichita.

Football players don’t come much tougher than those guys. They endured a 2-10 freshman season, played in two bowl games and left the program in so much better shape than when they arrived. Now Kane’s on the lookout for those type of guys to help bring the program back from the ashes the way he used to be on the lookout for ending plays with punishing hits.

Dear Annie: Please comment again about emotional affairs. My husband says this is a bunch of malarkey.

He has been hanging out quite a bit at a local establishment, which is owned by a woman who is rather flirtatious.

I also know that he has been confiding in her and telling her details about some problems in our personal life that I would like kept quiet in the community. I believe the conversations he is having with her are the ones he should be having with me.

Many times when he comes home after seeing her, he hardly speaks to me for hours because he is all “talked out.” He says that there is nothing going on and that he is true-blue for me. But I am uncomfortable with the amount of time he spends there.

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

I have asked him to stop going, and he has cut back from seeing her four times a day to just once. But it is still every day. He reads your column daily, so maybe you can comment again about emotional cheating. In my eyes, it is as bad as sexual cheating. — Angie Dear Angie: Your husband thinks that if there is no sex, there is nothing “going on.”

But if he is turning to another woman to find

SyFy channel reinterprets ‘12 Monkeys’ ‘’Hi! I’m a psycho from the future, come to change the past and save my world!” If the plot to the new series “12 Monkeys” (8 p.m., Syfy) sounds familiar, it’s because it’s based on the 1995 movie of the same name, a film that was itself inspired by the 28-minute experimental 1962 French film “La Jetee.”

And of course, most of us have seen “The Terminator,” also about ambassadors from another time with divergent agendas.

If “12 Monkeys” s e e m s thoroughly grounded in stories from another century, it may remind viewers of some contemporary television trends as well. Like “True Detective” and “The Missing,” the narrative bounces back and forth between two very distinct eras. And not unlike “The Walking Dead,” the denizens of a doomed future world must continually fend off an army of violent nihilistic scavengers in order to continue their noble scientific research.

As you can imagine, efforts to travel from the 2040s back to 2013 and 2015 to alter events leading to an exterminating plague tend to complicate matters on a personal and a cosmic level.

As fun to watch as it is preposterous, “12 Monkeys” just may have a long future.

O TV’s “back to the future” trend continues with “World’s Funniest Fails” (7 p.m., Fox).

Terry Crews hosts a panel of celebrities who review “epic fail” videos from the Internet, to anoint one as a “Fail of the Week.”

While the term “Epic Fail” is a 21st-century term for humiliating yourself on camera, this new roundup is basically a new spin on “America’s Funniest Home Videos,” a long-running series that celebrated its 25th anniversary on Jan. 14.

O The medical thriller “Helix” (9 p.m., SyFy) moves from the horrors of the headquarters of Arctic Biosystems to a mysterious wooded island as the series enters its second season.

O “The Fall,” the police drama set in Belfast, Northern Ireland, starring Gillian Anderson, enters a second season, streaming exclusively on Netflix.

BIRTHDAYS Country singer Ronnie Milsap is 72. Talk show host Dr. Laura Schlessinger is 68. Actressdancer-choreographer Debbie Allen is 65. Model Kate Moss is 41. Rock musician Nick Valensi (The Strokes) is 34. NFL quaterback Joe Flacco is 30.

emotional support and complain about his marriage, he is shortchanging you, his life partner. We have said before that giving your emotions, your heart and your innermost thoughts to someone other than your spouse is a form of cheating.

But the fact that this woman is a flirt doesn’t mean she is interested in your husband, so try not to overreact. Instead, let your husband know that this close friendship is undermining your trust in him. He needs to keep those conversations less personal.

Dear Annie: We have 5-year-old twins. A year ago, there was an argument in the family, and their uncle left town.

Our kids were close to their uncle and still remember him.

The problem is, our son still asks about this

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Friday, Jan. 16: This year you could find that you don’t like spending time alone.

Your personal life is changing, and for the better. As an element of the unexpected runs through your life, you often might feel stressed.

Know that this is helping you to eliminate the frivolous aspects of your life. If you are single, the person you choose now might not be who you’re with a year from now.

If you are attached, the two of you will opt to make a major lifestyle change.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) ++++ Understand that not every idea you come up with is a good one. Tonight: Be a free spirit.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ++++ A partner could feel challenged by you and shut down.

Try to be more understanding.

Tonight: Head out to happy hour!

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ++++ Others could be challenging, as they seem to want to head their own way. Tonight: Go along with a suggestion.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) +++ Remain focused on getting the job done. You’ll be all smiles when you complete your to-do list.Tonight: Check out new information carefully.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ++++ Allow your mind to drift, and tap into your imagina-

uncle. We have told him that the uncle moved to another town. What is the best way to explain that his departure may be permanent? We don’t think we will ever see him again. — Missing Him Dear Missing: You don’t know that this rift is permanent, so there is no reason to give that impression to your children. At this age, they simply wonder where their favorite uncle went. Saying he moved to another town is accurate and appropriate. You don’t need to give details. If your son asks when his uncle is coming back, simply tell him you don’t know. Because that is the truth.
