WOODLAWN KNIT WITS CLUB VOLUNTEER Raelean Finch, left, watches Aaliyah Harshaw, 10, knit during the club’s weekly gathering at Woodlawn Elementary School last Wednesday. The club was creating pieces to use for a “yarn bombing” Sunday at the Lawrence Public Library. Yarn bombing is a form of street art in which knitted pieces are wrapped around things like trees or sculptures. Camille Lechliter, right, attaches a knitted piece to a tree outside the library, 707 Vermont St., during Sunday’s event, which was affiliated with the Read Across Lawrence Program.

This year’s book for Read Across Lawrence is Margaret Atwood’s “The Handmaid’s Tale,” a dystopian novel in which some of the oppressed female characters take to knitting as a form of creativity. Atwood is scheduled to deliver the Kenneth A. Spencer Memorial Lecture at 7 p.m. Monday in the ballroom of the Kansas Union on the Kansas University campus.

Geologist tells lawmakers: Quakes likely related to increase in saltwater disposal Rex Buchanan, interim director of the Kansas Geological Survey, said there seems to be a correlation between the increased number of quakes Topeka — The state’s top geologist said Monday there and the increased use of injection wells to dump is no evidence to suggest the saltwater that comes out of the drilling process.

recent spike in earthquakes in south-central Kansas is directly related to a controversial drilling technique known as hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking.”

But he said it probably is related to a byproduct of oil and gas production, whether fracking is used or not, which is the massive amount of saltwater that comes out of oil

and gas wells and is later injected into disposal wells farther below the surface.

“To be absolutely clear, we have no reason to believe that this seismic activity is caused by hydraulic fracturing,” said Rex Buchanan, interim director of the Kansas Geological Survey.

injection wells to dump the saltwater that comes out of the drilling process.

“While we have been disposing of saltwater in disposal wells in Kansas for decades, today’s horizontal wells are generally more productive in terms of oil and saltwater than traditional vertical wells, thus requiring more high-capacity wells to get rid of saltwater,” Buchanan said.

From 1977 to 2012, he said, there were only 34 earthquakes in Kansas that were

Topeka — Hospital officials gave their backing Monday to a Kansas House committee’s effort to expand the state Medicaid program to capture additional dollars under the federal health care overhaul, despite opposition to the plan from Republican lead- Sloan ers.

The Vision 2020 Committee heard supportive testimony from Tom Bell, president and CEO of the Kansas Hospital Association, and two top executives with Via Christi, the state’s largest health system.

They said expanding Medicaid as contemplated by the 2010 federal health care law would provide coverage to another 169,000 Kansas residents, including 100,000 with jobs.

Committee Chairman Tom Sloan, a Lawrence Republican, is pursuing the Medicaid

Brownback’s tax proposals panned by anti-tax activist Topeka (ap) — National anti-tax activist Grover Norquist is urging Kansas legislators to reject Gov. Sam Brownback’s proposals to increase the state’s tobacco and alcohol taxes to help close state budget shortfalls.

Norquist sent a letter Monday to legislators, saying the proposed tax increases would hurt poor and working-class taxpayers the most.

Norquist is president of Americans for Tax Reform

and previously has praised Brownback for successfully persuading Kansas lawmakers to slash the state’s personal income taxes in 2012 and 2013.

The state is facing budget shortfalls totaling more

than $710 million in its current budget and its budget for the fiscal year beginning in July.

Brownback shrugged off the criticism, saying Monday that his proposals are a starting point.

Medicaid expansion plan despite strong opposition from top Republicans in the GOP-dominated Legislature. Sloan is more liberal than most other GOP lawmakers, and his committee — set up to study long-term problems — is unusual in not being controlled by conservatives.

The state’s $3 billiona-year Medicaid program provides health coverage to 368,000 needy and disabled Kansans, but it doesn’t cover able-bodied adults without children, and many parents aren’t covered unless their incomes fall well below the federal poverty level. Meanwhile, the federal health care law provides in-

surance subsidies for families but only at or above the poverty level, or $23,850 for a family of four.

Bell said the Hospital Association is working on legislation to authorize Republican Gov. Sam Brownback — a strong opponent of the federal health care law — to negotiate the terms of an expansion with the federal government. Sloan said his committee’s bill will be more specific and include provisions for raising any state dollars needed to match federal funds. State law currently prohibits a Medicaid expansion.

“I think the point is, let’s have a serious discussion about this,” Bell told the committee.

Rep. Jim Ward, a Wichita Democrat, introduced a bill last week to expand the Medicaid program as

contemplated by the federal law.

But most Kansas Republicans view that law, championed by Democratic President Barack Obama, as expanding the federal government and creating new burdens for businesses — and don’t want any state involvement.

The federal government promises to pay the full cost of a state’s Medicaid expansion through 2016 and at least 90 percent after that. But top Kansas Republican legislators are skeptical that the promise will be kept.

“Can you tell me — anybody tell me — it’s going to be there forever?” said House Speaker Ray Merrick, a Stilwell Republican. “No.” Senate Majority Leader Terry Bruce, a Nickerson Republican, said GOP lawmakers are reluctant

to extend social services benefits to able-bodied adults. He also doubted the state can provide matching funds.

The state faces budget shortfalls totaling more than $710 million in its current budget and the one for the fiscal year beginning July 1. The gaps arose after lawmakers aggressively cut personal income taxes in 2012 and 2013 at Brownback’s urging to stimulate the economy.

Bell said hospitals are even willing to consider a special tax to raise the state’s matching funds, believing it’s worth it to get the additional federal dollars. Also, the group contends expanded coverage will decrease other costs, such as those hospitals incur when indigent patients use emergency rooms for their primary medical care.

thumbs up, Superintendent Rick Doll said, the district and the club will begin discussing land and building ownership.

“We’ll start to ask those legal questions,” he said.

Colby Wilson, executive director for the club, estimates the building will cost around $5 million. He would like it to have a full-size gym, technology center, kitchen, dance room and classroom space, among other amenities. He envisions a building with space for up to 250 kids at a time, with the capability of feeding them all hot meals.

It just confirms what we learned, that there’s a need. We are very excited for this idea.”

— Colby Wilson, Lawrence Boys and Girls Club executive director The coming campaign to get the money — which Wilson is confident will be successful — will be the first of its kind for Lawrence’s Boys and Girls Club. He said the club would likely need 12 to 18 months to gather the money before breaking ground.

He said it felt “really good” to have the board’s approval.

“It just confirms what we learned, that there’s a need,” he said. “We are very excited for this idea.”

Randy Masten was the only board member to vote against the item. He said that while he supports a new teen center, he thought officials could have taken more time to consider other properties the district owns across the city.

The rest of the board expressed enthusiasm for the idea. Doll said the location is ideal since the new teen center would provide a commercial kitchen that could house the district’s culinary arts program. He said wants

to move the program out of the Holcom Park Recreation Center.

Wilson said the club was originally interested in a building near a new proposed police headquarters on McDonald Drive, but the idea was scrapped when voters denied a sales tax increase to fund the project.

The club is interested in a new teen center, Wilson said, because its current facility, 1520 Haskell Ave., is outdated and at capacity with 75 kids visiting daily. He also said the club wants to increase its membership among middle and high schoolers five-fold, to 1,000.

“We want to keep kids involved, keep them in mentoring programs beyond elementary school,”

strong enough to feel. But there were 115 such quakes in 2013 and 2014.

During that time, there was also a big increase in both the number of injection wells in Sumner and Harper counties and the volume of saltwater being stored in those wells.

He also said the agency would need about half a million dollars a year in additional funding to beef up and operate a permanent network of seismic monitoring stations to get better data about where and how the quakes are occurring.

Buchanan and other state officials briefed the House Energy and Environment Committee about the recent spike in seismic activity, especially in Sumner and Harper counties where oil production has also increased in the last two years.

Those quakes have become a source of growing concern in the area, especially after one temblor in November in Sumner County that registered 4.9 in the Richter scale, the largest quake ever recorded in Kansas.

That’s still considered light by geological standards, enough to cause objects on a shelf to shake and rattle. But the increased frequency of the quakes, especially in a state that had barely seen any since monitoring began in 1867, has raised public concern, and some residents have even reported property damage.

Buchanan said that for many years, there was very little monitoring of seismic activity in Kansas because there was so little to monitor. But since 2013, when activity began to increase, both his agency and the U.S. Geological Society have set up a temporary monitoring network in order to pinpoint when and where the quakes are occurring.

From the data collected so far, he said, the U.S. Geological Survey now believes there is a fault line below the surface that runs diagonally from southwest to northeast in Sumner County, south of Conway Springs.

If it can be shown that the quakes are related to injection wells that are too close to a fault line, Buchanan said, the state would have several options for responding, such as reducing the volume of those wells and limiting the locations for new permits.

Wilson said last week.

“There’s 1,000 to 1,500 kids that are not engaged in anything after school.”

Construction for the 33,000-square-foot, $5.7 million College and Career Center began in September 2014, with its opening planned for this August. It will provide courses in engineering, computer technology, robotics, public safety, bioscience, health care and administration, with opportunities for tuitionfree college credit.

Also next door will be the Dwayne Peaslee Technical Education Center for adults, which will operate out of the former Honeywell Industries building. Organizers are still in the fundraising process for that project.

The classes must be taught by an instructor with a master’s degree in the field, or a master’s degree with 18 graduate hours in the field of instruction.

Kelly, along with Sara Thomas Rosen, KU’s the senior vice provost for academic affairs, said it’s possible more KU classes could come to Lawrence schools in the future. “We have to see how this goes, see what the demand is among students,� Kelly said.

Lawrence police continued to search Monday for suspects in a stabbing that left a 19-year-old man with serious injuries.

Officers were dispatched to West Sixth Street and Monterey Way just after 2:20 a.m. Sunday on a reported stabbing.

Upon arrival officers found the victim had been beaten and stabbed multiple times during what is thought

to be an attempted robbery, Lawrence Police Department spokesman Sgt. Trent McKinley said. It is unclear whether the suspects took anything from the victim.

Police suspect the incident began after the victim left a nightclub in the 1000 block of Massachusetts Street just before 2 a.m., McKinley said.

The victim talked to some individuals before entering a vehicle with a woman and two men near the nightclub, Please see STABBING, page 4A

Two file for different terms on school board

By Elliot Hughes Twitter: @elliothughes12

After two more candidates filed for the Lawrence school board election Monday, a primary election will now be held for the lone two-year term that’s up for grabs.

Norine Spears, a self-employed graphic artist, will contend for the two-year term seat, upping the pool of candidates to four, thus requiring a primary election March 3.

Jill Fincher, a Lawrence Schools Foundation board member, also filed for a four-year term Monday in

a race that is separate from the two-year term. She is the seventh candidate to contend for one of the Spears four fouryear seats.

Also Monday, Randy Masten confirmed that he will not seek reelection this Fincher year.

Spears, 46, has two children attending Lawrence public schools. She is a member of the district’s Equity Council, the Lawrence High School’s parent-teacher organization and has served on councils for Sunflower Elementary and Southwest Middle schools.

“I was raised in a home with parents who showed me the importance of being involved in your community,” Spears said in a statement. “As a passionate advocate for our schools, I want to carry on that tradition.”

McKinley said.

As the vehicle cruised through downtown, the three suspects told the victim their intent to rob him and began beating the man, McKinley said.

The vehicle stopped briefly near Eighth and Rhode Island streets and the victim attempted to run away, McKinley said. The suspects then fought the victim and pulled him back into the vehicle.

Lawrence resident Christine Davisson said she and her husband called police after witnessing “several guys” beating up a man in downtown Lawrence sometime after 2 a.m.

“When we stopped our car to yell at them to stop, we called the police while they all jumped into their dark-colored car and proceeded to pull the bloodied guy into the back-

The men then drove off while the victim screamed for help, Davisson said.

“It was absolutely awful, and we felt completely helpless,” Davisson said. “I hope this isn’t the direction Lawrence is headed.”

The vehicle is described as a dark-colored, older sedan in good condition, McKinley said.

The victim was eventually able to escape the vehicle in a residential area near Eighth Street and Monterey Way, McKinley said. The suspects fled in an unknown direction in the suspect vehicle, McKinley said, as the victim fled on foot.

The man sustained numerous serious injuries, including stab wounds — at least one in the chest.

No arrests had been made as of Monday afternoon. The victim was being treated at Lawrence Memorial Hospital Sunday evening and was in stable condition. Neither the man’s name nor a condition update could

be released Monday, hospital officials said.

A resident in the area told police of being awakened by banging on door around 2:20 a.m. Sunday, but the knocker had left by the time the resident got to the door, McKinley said. Later that morning, the resident found blood on the home’s porch and reported it to police, McKinley said.

Residents who may have witnessed the crime on Massachusetts Street, near Eighth and Rhode Island streets or in the area west of Eighth Street and Monterey Way where the victim escaped his attackers are asked to check the areas outside their homes for possible evidence, McKinley said.

Those who see anything that may be related to the case should call police at 785-832-7509.

“We want people to know if they see something or notice something, it may be related to a pretty serious crime,” McKinley said.

BRIEFLY Area high school principal leaving J.B. Elliott is stepping down from his position as the principal of PerryLecompton High School to become the district’s curriculum director, according to Superintendent Denis Yoder.

The Perry-Lecompton school board will have an executive session Wednesday to interview candidates to replace him. The board will meet in closed session at 8 a.m. at the district offices, 205 W. Bridge St., in Perry.

Elliott will finish out the year as principal. He first arrived at the PerryLecompton district as a coprincipal of the high school in 2006.

Audio-Reader radio receives grant Kansas University’s Audio-Reader radio network has received a $5,880 grant to help develop the organization’s services for the blind, visually impaired and print disabled, officials said.

Near the end of December, the network received the grant from the Ethel and Raymond Rice Foundation, a regular contributor to the organization, said Director of Development Feloniz Lovato-Winston.

The grant money will help fund the network’s outreach expenses and Braille program guides, Lovato-Winston said.

“We can do a lot with a grant of that size,” she said. “Outreach funds are really crucial for us to be able to reach people who could benefit from AudioReader.”

Audio-Reader broadcasts free readings of newspapers, books and magazines 24 hours a day, Lovato-Winston said. The network has thousands of listeners in Kansas, Missouri and beyond, she said.

Humane society will ognized at the meeting for contributions to local host microchip clinic their health care.

The Lawrence Humane Society is hosting a microchip clinic this week to implant pets with the most effective animal-recovery technology, Executive Director Kate Meghji said.

Between today and Saturday pet owners can take their pets to the humane society, 1805 E. 19th St., and have a microchip implanted for $10 per animal, Meghji said.

About one third of all pets will be lost during their lifetime, Meghji said.

About 10 percent are returned to their owners.

With the help of microchips, those numbers can dramatically increase.

Each microchip is about the size of a grain of rice and is implanted between the pet’s shoulder blades, Meghji said. The technology contains a unique identification number linking each animal to its owner.

LMHEA Board President Valentino Stella said in the release that the association needs to grow in order for the hospital staff to continue providing exemplary patient care.

“During the 40-plus years I’ve lived in Lawrence, I’ve watched our hospital grow and expand into a place that should be the envy of all residents of cities our size,” he said.

Poor timing The beginning of a legislative session probably isn’t the best time for Kansas University to announce the acquisition of a new private jet.

T

alk about poor timing.

Kansas University officials could not have picked a more inappropriate time to announce the acquisition and delivery of a new jet. This at a time when KU officials are using every means possible to increase state funding for the university.

KU Endowment Association officials have announced donations surpassing $1 billion in their current capital campaign, and private funds from Endowment are paying for the new seven-passenger jet.

In the eyes of some in Topeka — particularly legislators who question the fiscal needs of the university — it is difficult to take seriously the pleas of KU being hard up when there is money to buy a new jet.

This is an ongoing, somewhat historical, problem facing the university and KUEA. Money given to the KUEA is spent for programs, faculty enrichment, student scholarships, art acquisitions, equipment, buildings and other projects and programs that state funds alone cannot provide.

As the late KU Chancellor Franklin Murphy used to say, KUEA funding represents the frosting on the cake, the frosting that allows KU to excel.

It is understandable that state legislators would look at the more than $1 billion that has been raised over the past several years as money that would and should be used to pay for many KU needs. However, KUEA funds are not to be used to relieve the state from providing the funding that is essential for the sound operation of the school.

Nevertheless, it’s difficult for many legislators, as well as the general public, to think KU is facing fiscally hard times when the university finds money to buy a fancy jet. (Maybe there would be some justification in the minds of some lawmakers when they learn the plane will be used to help KU coaches in their recruiting efforts. Still others might be swayed when they learn the KU School of Medicine and KU Hospital doctors will use the plane in their medical outreach program.)

Private jet travel is quick and comfortable and, in many cases — perhaps most cases — saves time. But Kansas is not so big that turbo prop planes couldn’t provide excellent and timely service. In other cases, an automobile can, and should, be used — although arriving by jet is more impressive and someone else is doing the “driving.”

Arab leaders look inward for change Last weekend marked the fourth anniversary of Egypt’s Tahrir Square uprising, which became the hallmark of the Arab Spring.

As though to mock those long-dead hopes, Yemen and Libya have collapsed, Syria lies in ruins, and much of Syria and Iraq are occupied by ISIS. Several youthful leaders of the Jan. 25, 2011, revolt have been jailed (while the Egyptian leader they ousted, Hosni Mubarak, was just freed from prison). The death last week of Saudi Arabian King Abdullah — whose successor is also old and ill — adds to the turmoil in the region.

Yet, I’ve noticed one small positive sign amid the gloom that permeates the Arab world. Some of its leaders finally grasp that the root of their troubles lies with their own failings, and they can’t simply blame everything on the West.

Introspection at Davos This unusual level of introspection was evident last week at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where high-level government and business leaders gather for their famous annual confab. Although Davos panels are often upbeat, many of the senior Arab participants were more self-critical than I ever heard in years of attendance at Davos (this year I listened via live stream).

They talked in graphic terms of the need to modernize their economies and provide work for their huge youth contingent lest the young fall prey to ISIS. They also insisted more inclusive governments were a must in the post-Arab Spring era in order to avoid more turmoil.

“There is a lack of alignment between (our) national economies and the global

They talked in graphic terms of the need to modernize their economies and provide work for their huge youth contingent lest the young fall prey to ISIS.” economy,” said Mahmoud Jibril, who served as interim prime minister of Libya for 7 1/2 months during the Libyan civil war. “Our education system has nothing to do with the 21st century. Our culture and our values have nothing to do with what’s needed for (our) economy to be competitive.”

Thousands of young people can’t find jobs, he said, so “they find Daesh (ISIS) or al-Qaida, who offer lucrative jobs and paradise, even paradise on Earth. You cannot beat this offer.”

Extremism ‘fashionable’ Jibril said he feared the future lay with extremism, given that Daesh recruited from the 15- to 25-year-old cohort and was attracting more and more young professionals because the group had become “fashionable.”

“What we need is a new Arab mind-set to deal with the challenges of the 21st century,” the Libyan insisted. He called for a national dialogue and decentralized government to piece together the fragments of Libya.

Otherwise, he said, extremism will continue to spread.

Iraqi Vice President Ayad Allawi said a victory over ISIS in Iraq required a political component as much as or more than military efforts.

Referring to alienated Sunnis who have tolerated or even supported ISIS as protection against a Shiite-led government, he said bluntly: “If you don’t get (Sunnis) to buy in, then no matter what gains you make on the military side, you can’t win.”

In other words, so long as Sunnis felt like second-class citizens, they would prefer to be ruled by ISIS rather than by the Iraqi state.

Allawi was also frank in rejecting statements by other Iraqi leaders at Davos that “exaggerated progress” in fighting ISIS. The terrorist group, he said, “is more capable than it used to be” and is recruiting more people, despite international airstrikes.

Without more political outreach by the government in Baghdad, he warned, the terrorists will not be rolled back.

Defending Islam Besides demands for reform of governance and education, there were also calls to reform religious discourse within Islam.

Most striking, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi reprised his much-noted New Year’s Day speech at Al Azar University, a center of Islamic learning. “We as Muslims must seek reform,” he said at Davos, “so we do not allow a minority to distort our past, jeopardize our present, and threaten our future on the basis of a mistaken interpretation or inadequate understanding of our religion.”

He called for a change in religious discourse to “remove things that have led

Sign of progress As for inclusive governance, secular centrists such as Allawi and Jibril lack the clout to offset sectarian forces. Yet the fact that this debate is now on the public agenda represents progress.

In the end, the Arab comments at Davos I found most trenchant came from a Libyan Islamic scholar and ambassador named Aref Ali Nayed.

When the young Arab Spring rebels took to the streets, he said, these youthful democrats put forward no clear vision that could compete with the Islamist political model.

“The role of elites,” Nayed said, “is to develop a model for those young people” — an inclusive system that offers hope for a better political and economic future.

Of course, this also requires Arab leaders who are willing and able to implement such a model — and who have sufficient credibility with their own people. Otherwise, Nayed said, these revolts are “just a shot in the air.”

From the Lawrence Daily JournalWorld for Jan. 27, 1915: “Harvey Proper had a very years interesting experience last ago night when he took a sackIN 1915 ful of bananas home with him and found that he had carried a large tarantula with them. After he was at home and comfortably located in his arm chair he put his hand in the banana sack and was going to put the fruit in a fruit dish but he dropped the bananas with much more haste than he picked them up for he felt something that did not seem to him was a banana. Upon investigation he found that it was a large tarantula.”

to extremism” and to adapt that discourse to the present.

This, he said, had nothing to do with beliefs, but with the need to “remove some of the misconceptions.”

“No one can monopolize the truth,” he added. “No one should believe … his conviction is better than anyone else’s.

That applies to everyone.”

Of course, it’s easier to debate at Davos than to implement these reforms in Arab countries. Sisi is on the right track, but changing the region’s religious discourse is a mammoth task, especially as Saudi and Gulf Arab money continues to fund Arab schools, mosques, and cable channels that promote intolerant Islam.

Trust issue To the editor: Regarding the email from Wicked Broadband’s co-owner to two city commissioners essentially offering them 1,184 election votes in exchange for their probroadband vote: Regardless of whether this is a blatant attempt to buy their vote or simply reflects the co-owner’s naivete, neither reason would give me confidence, were I a city commissioner, to trust his firm with a $300,000 loan guarantee.

Charles Wyttenbach, Lawrence

Library buzzing To the editor: I am writing to refute Ed White’s negative opinion of the city’s investment in the new library. First, a library isn’t a store, it’s an organism which grows and changes with time. Since opening, this library buzzes with life.

Books won’t be obsolete anytime soon, because reading a printed book engages the senses in ways a computer screen does not: There is the feel of the book, the smell of the pages, the way different fonts look on the page and the pleasure these sensory experiences play in the immersion of becoming part of a book’s world.

Libraries disseminate information, and information now comes in many forms. The new library provides for

all of these. But it’s the synergy in how patrons access the information and the ways the library meets the needs of disparate patrons that creates magic.

The crown jewel for me is the recording studio and editing suites. Since it opened, the studio has been booked solid. The studio and suites make it possible to create a truly professional product. Historians, authors, musicians, educators, filmmakers, charitable organizations and documentary producers are just some who are now collaborating in ways not previously possible. The facility is a wonderful gift to the community.

This library was designed to meet patron needs now and in the future, and judging by the number of people already utilizing its many aspects, it is an investment that will continue to prove well worth making.

Beth Meyers, Lawrence

‘Pot’ success To the editor: I felt the need to respond to the recent letter from Ken Meyer, whose arguments lost credibility when he stated that “Colorado’s estimated tax revenue from liberalized pot policies did not pan out so well.” The truth is that since “pot” was legalized there in 2014, Colorado collected about $45.4 million through Oct. 14 (the most recent figures available) from recreational pot sales.

The state’s population is increasing, resulting in additional tax revenue; violent crime rates and traffic fatalities have declined; and the state is enjoying economic growth and the lowest unemployment rate in years. Additionally, millions of dollars are no longer wasted on investigating, prosecuting, jailing and supervising adults who choose to use pot.

Finally, pot tourism is now a secondary growth industry in Colorado as such tourists are spending millions of dollars, resulting in much additional tax revenue on purchases at hotels, stores and restaurants in addition to buying pot.

Kansas should consider joining this tax bonanza to help address our current dismal revenue situation.

John Frydman, Lawrence

Politicized courts To the editor: Of course the courts in Kansas are being politicized. They chose to do that to themselves by asserting political power over the other two political branches of government. Taxes are set by the Legislature and the executive who are directly responsible to the voters. If the unelected courts wants to assume that role you can bet politics will enter their world. It is a shame we are going this way, and I fear we will all be the worse for it.

buster from others in their party, but several withheld their support Monday as a way to protest McConnell’s tactics.

The vote was 53-39, shy of the 60-vote threshold needed for the measure to advance. Four Democrats supported the measure, but several others who have supported it as recently as last fall voted no. A subsequent vote also failed, 53-39.

Officials: Deficit low, but not for long Washington — The federal debt is set to explode over the next decade even as the budget deficit is projected to reach its lowest level of the Obama presidency, the Congressional Budget Office said Monday.

The annual deficit should total $468 billion for the 2015 fiscal year, which will end Sept. 30, the nonpartisan budget office said.

That’s a tad better than the $483 billion in fiscal 2014, and it amounts to about 2.6 percent of the overall economy, the smallest percentage since 2007 and just a hair under the 50-year average.

But the improving deficit numbers are temporary.

Budget deficits are projected to rise again in 2018, and to nearly double by 2024 as retiring baby boomers strain the health and retirement systems, the economy grows more slowly and interest on the nation’s outstanding debt rises.

STRIKING AN UNFAMILIAR POSE Flu spike prompts new rule

YOGA MAY SEEM INTIMIDATING AT FIRST, BUT THE BENEFITS — INCLUDING INCREASED STRENGTH AND FLEXIBILITY — and the gradual build from simple stretches to complex poses makes it suitable even for beginners, Yoga Center of Lawrence instructor Jay Hester said. “(Inflexible) people are the ones that need it the most,” he said. “They should be here.”

An ancient practice welcomes a yoga newcomer

By Elliot Hughes Twitter: @elliothughes12

A

fter spending about five years without a fixed exercise regimen, I sat back on my couch one night about a month ago, grabbed my laptop and decided to change things.

Yoga always interested me with its reputation for relieving stress and increasing flexibility and strength. It seemed so simple with its lack of equipment and even shoes.

But it was always equally intimidating as

well, given that I am less flexible than a tree trunk and devoid of even such basic gymnastics skills as handstands or somersaults.

Could yoga be beneficial if so much of it didn’t seem possible?

So for several weeks I whipped out some YouTube videos and moved from my couch to the living room floor.

I skipped the really hard stuff and laughed every time I needed to extend my legs and reach for my toes. And by “toes” I mean halfway down my shins.

I did also get a nice

workout that left me sweaty and a little sore the next day, too.

I enjoyed it in my living room, but yoga can be quite a refined discipline, and learning the finer points, like knowing just how much you should “drop your hips” or when to “press your thigh bones back,” can be hard to get down without a real-life instructor evaluating you.

Not getting those little things right that can lead to injury, said Jay Hester, a yoga instructor at the Yoga Center of Lawrence, 920 Massachusetts St.

I participated in one of Hester’s beginner courses, and it went about as I expected. Every time we reached for the toes, I stopped noticeably shorter than everyone else. Several times, Hester corrected my alignment. And several other times, as he walked around, he said I pulled off a pose well.

That didn’t stop him from mincing words when I asked him later what I needed to work on.

“Everything,” he said.

I always wondered whether I was somehow incapable of performing yoga because of my in-

flexibility and gymnastic squeamishness. But Hester said I was about what he expected out of a beginner yogi.

“Usually the first thing is short hamstrings. You’ve got short hamstrings,” he said. “(Inflexible) people are the ones that need it the most. They should be here.”

Hester, who is about 6-foot-3 and weighs 215 pounds, explained he was once as rigid as I was, palms left to dangle high above the ankles during a stretch. But Please see YOGA, page 2B

If you’ve visited Lawrence Memorial Hospital in the past few days, you’ve probably noticed a lot of people wearing masks. This is due to new rules for visitors that the hospital introduced because of a rapid spike in flu cases last week.

Since last Wednesday, all patient visitors and LMH staff with patient contact have been required to wear masks in patient areas. This is expected to remain in effect until Thursday. In addition, LMH officials are discouraging visits from children as well as adults with immune deficiencies.

The restrictions were put in place to help fight the spread of flu and protect patients, staff and visitors.

Although the hospital experienced a downturn in the number of reported flu cases two weeks ago, volumes began peaking again last week. LMH had eight hospitalized patients who tested positive for influenza A last week and confirmed 34 cases of influenza in a five-day period. That prompted stricter visiting guidelines.

“Many hospitalized patients are already in immune-compromised situations,” said LMH Infection Preventionist Julie Robbins, RN, BSN. “The last thing they need is to be exposed to the flu and other contagious illnesses.”

To protect yourself from the flu, first and foremost, get a flu shot if you haven’t done so already. The flu shot is recommended for everyone 6 months and older and is Please see LMH, page 2B

Try alternatives to high-school AP exams Kyra: This column is our third in a series of things we’d like to see done differently in schools. This week, we’re discussing Advanced Placement (AP) classes.

Because I took 6 1/2 AP classes (I dropped AP Physics this semester), I suppose Wes would say I “drank the Kool-Aid” and bought into the College Board’s diabolical schemes. Looking back, I have to agree.

I enjoy listening to the AP lectures, writing the essays and strategizing to beat the test. AP classes remind me of the ACT, in that preparing for the exam is a greater priority than actually learning the presented material. I think of AP and the ACT as games — kind of like “The Price is Right.” If I score high enough, I might win money.

A good friend of mine, who obviously knows how to play these games as he was recently accepted to Harvard, takes a dimmer view. He told me these types of classes reward students who

Obama plans Medicare payment changes Washington (ap) ­— Medicare will change the way it pays hospitals and doctors to reward quality over volume, the Obama administration said Monday, in a shift that officials hope will be a catalyst for the nation’s $3-trillion health care system.

“It is in our common interest to build a health care system that delivers better care, spends health care dollars more wisely and results in healthier people,” said Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia M. Burwell.

A broad cross-section of health-care industry representatives attended Burwell’s announcement,

including insurers, hospitals, and doctors.

The shift won immediate support from insurers and the American Hospital Association. The professional group representing primary care doctors also said it’s “on board.” But American Medical Association president Robert Wah stopped short of an endorsement, telling reporters his group is encouraged by the administration’s overall direction but wants specifics.

Burwell also announced the formation of the Learning and Action Network, a group that will bring together a wide

range of affected parties to drive change in how America pays for health care. It was unclear Monday whether the group will operate under federal open meetings rules.

A first meeting is tentatively planned for March.

Supporters say the ultimate goal is to promote and reward quality care, not just the sheer volume of services like imaging scans and some elective surgeries.

Medicare and employers were already moving in that direction, but Burwell’s announcement sets specific goals and timetables. “It’s time we put our money where our mouth

is,” said Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon, the top Democrat on the committee that oversees Medicare.

Still, the outlook for the administration’s initiative is unclear.

Medicare continues to grapple with longstanding financing problems, despite a welcome slowdown in spending over the last few years. Among the issues is a budget formula that will cut doctor payments by about 20 percent in April unless Congress acts.

But Burwell says it’s time to take a longerterm view.

Building on experiments under the president’s

health care law, she set a goal of tying 30 percent of payments under traditional Medicare to new models of care by the end of 2016. That would rise to 50 percent of payments two years thereafter.

Those new models include so-called accountable care organizations, in which doctors coordinate care to help keep patients from landing in the hospital for avoidable problems. Another approach is known as a medical home, in which nurses monitor patients with chronic conditions like high blood pressure, to make sure they are within acceptable ranges.

HHS also set a goal of tying 85 percent of all payments under traditional Medicare to measures of quality or value by the end of 2016. That would rise to 90 percent two years thereafter. Some of those measures are already in effect. For example, hospitals with high rates of patients re-admitted within a month of being sent home face financial penalties.

Medicare is the government’s flagship health insurance program, serving seniors and disabled people at a cost of $600 billion a year. About 55 million people are covered, with services financed through payroll taxes.

Eyelids could provide less invasive route for brain surgeons Washington (ap) — Doctor after doctor said removing the tumor causing Pamela Shavaun Scott’s unrelenting headaches would require cutting open the top of her skull and pushing aside her brain. Then one offered a startling shortcut — operating through her eyelid.

The idea: Make a small incision right in the crease and sneak past the eyeball into the hard-toreach center of the head.

Less invasive brain surgery isn’t common but

surgeons are working out different ways to get to tumors, aneurysms and other problems without as much trauma in hopes that patients recover faster. But Scott’s experience shows how difficult it can be for patients to learn about alternative options like the eyelid approach.

Scott knew that major medical centers often offer second-opinion consultations for longdistance patients, and started hunting — aided when her husband used a 3-D printer to create

What got him into yoga all those years ago was a back injury. He said it still causes him trouble, but without yoga, “it’s a wrath of pain.”

“A lot of the people that come in here, they’re old, they’re broken, whatever,” he said.

At the class, we did one position that I imagine isn’t all that tough for veterans, but still made me nervous. Imagine your torso bent over your legs at a 90 degree angle, with your neck bent so you’re looking at your thighs.

Now imagine your body in that position, only the back of the neck is on the ground and your feet are on a wall behind your head. That’s the kind of contortion and balance that will take getting used to for me.

But even if I shy away from those types of poses, Hester assured me that non-advanced yoga is still a beneficial exercise.

He explained that the simpler poses only build strength and improve balance so that over time,

especially important for children under 5, people over 65, and anyone else with a pre-existing medical condition.

It’s important to note that the flu vaccine protects against certain strains of the flu, so it is still possible to become sick even with the vaccine.

If this does occur, though, the vaccine can lessen the severity of your symptoms. Below are some other things you can do to protect you and your family from the flu. These, in addition to the flu vaccine, could make for a much healthier winter: l Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze.

Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it. l Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcoholbased hand cleaners are also effective. l Try to avoid close contact with sick people. l If you get the flu, stay home from work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them. l Avoid touching your

eyes, the underside of the brain, is a challenge. Traditional surgery means a large opening in the skull to give doctors plenty of room to maneuver. But they must move painstakingly past sections of healthy brain, which can cause cognitive damage.

Now the eye is offering some paths into this difficult region.

Think of the eye socket like an ice cream cone, with the tip pointing back toward the brain’s center, said Dr. Paul Gardner, director of UPMC’s Center

for Skull Base Surgery.

Entering through the eyelid crease, surgeons can follow that cone to just the right spot to access the brain.

Dr. Robert , president of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons, cautioned that the method hasn’t been formally studied to compare ultimate outcomes, including safety, to traditional open surgery.

“This is worth exploring,” he said. But, “because it’s new doesn’t mean it’s necessarily better.”

eyes, nose or mouth.

Germs spread this way. l Clean frequently and appropriately, especially if someone in your home has been sick.

Robbins observes that unfortunately all of these preventive measures, with the exception of the vaccine, are usually practiced too late. People with the flu usually become contagious within 24 to 72 hours after being infected — nearly always before they begin to feel sick — and remain contagious for seven days after the onset of symptoms.

Symptoms of the flu include fever, headache, extreme tiredness, dry cough and muscle aches.

Complications can include pneumonia, ear and sinus infections and dehydration. The flu might also worsen other chronic conditions.

Dear Annie: My wife has a good personality and makes friends easily. The problem is, she does not keep them. If someone rubs her wrong, she flares up in anger. If someone disagrees with her, she verbally abuses them.

She also gets involved in everyone else’s personal affairs.

When these negative things happen, the friends start backing off. Then my wife complains that we have no friends and it’s my fault because I’m not outgoing enough. But I am friendly and participate in group gatherings without getting involved in conflicts. I make friends and keep them.

This has been going on for 30 years. How can I make her see that she is the one who is driving people away? — Need Help Down South

Dear Need: Your wife is disinclined to blame herself for these things.

After all, if she had the capacity for genuine self-examination, she might not be alienating her friends to begin with.

You can discuss this honestly, calmly telling your wife that she seems quick to anger and slow to forgive, and perhaps she could learn a different approach, either on her own or through counseling. But if you

‘Edison’ casts inventor as celebrity We love to think that we live in an age of rapid change and marvelous innovation. We congratulate ourselves that we speak on smartphones connected by satellites. But satellites have been circling the globe since 1957 and the phone was invented in 1876.

To really appreciate a time of drastic change and revolutionary invention, consider “Edison: American Experience” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings).

Calling on a wealth of period p h o t o graphs and some documentary footage shot toward the end of his life, “Edison” celebrates not only his era-defining breakthroughs, but also his competitive spirit and ability to promote himself as the indispensable inventor of his age (1847-1931).

Thomas Alva Edison was hardly the first American inventor. The telegraph’s Morse code (Samuel Morse) and the telephone (Alexander Graham Bell) preceded Edison’s development of incandescent light bulbs, recorded sound and motion pictures, but Edison managed to turn the idea of Edison the inventor into something as important as the president and as popular as any vaudeville, radio or movie star.

“Edison” makes the case that, more than any one of his inventions, Edison’s celebrity and cult of innovation made American society synonymous with an embrace of all things modern. The era of Edison championed “better living through science” without a trace of irony or fear.

Some of us lived quite nicely before the Internet, cellphones and smartphones, but life before electric light, recorded sound or “moving pictures” is much more difficult to imagine.

Tonight’s other highlights

On two helpings of “Parks and Recreation” (NBC), April mentors interns (7 p.m.), Leslie champions a failing restaurant (7:30 p.m.).

Ingredients from the pantry loom large on “MasterChef Junior” (7 p.m., Fox).

The War for Independence begins on the conclusion of “Sons of Liberty” (8 p.m., History).

Josh Hutcherson (“The Hunger Games”) gets to judge on “Face Off” (8 p.m., Syfy).

are unwilling to risk that argument, say neutrally, “Some folks are very sensitive, and I try to be careful about what I say to them and always try to forgive them for things that annoy me.

But it’s hard work.” That may give her some ideas about how to treat others, while not assessing blame. It’s your choice.

You have to live with her.

Dear Annie: I was ashamed of your response to “Need To Be Held,” who was dissatisfied with her husband’s affection. Telling her to get counseling, focus on the grandchildren, get out more, etc., was fine until I came to your last line: “Please consider doing volunteer work with babies at your local hospital.”

Just because she is a mother, you assume holding a baby would

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Tuesday, Jan. 27: This year you have an opportunity to go for what you want. You are also likely to change residences or remodel. If you are single, you will meet someone who is on the same level as you. If you are attached, mid-August could be exciting.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) You might be overthinking an investment, so much so that an obsessive quality could emerge. Tonight: Ride the roller coaster of life.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Be willing to push back if someone tries to run an idea over you. This person can be domineering. Tonight: Only as you like it.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You could be taken aback by how demanding a key person in your life might be. It would be best to neutralize the situation for now.

Tonight: A must appearance.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You might want to distance yourself from a difficult person. Try to do some research and investigate a situation involving both of you. Tonight: Time to loosen up.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You might sense that it is time for a change. The area you’ll opt to transform could be your health.

Tonight: Play it easy.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Allow your creativity

make her happy? A simple suggestion that she look into volunteering with an organization that matches her passions, whether that be at her local food bank, library or anywhere she wants, would have been less ridiculous. — Ventura, Calif.

Dear Ventura: We appreciate your weighing in, but in your effort to be gender-neutral, you miss the writer’s main point. The woman’s problem isn’t a need to be useful and busy. It’s that she isn’t getting enough physical affection. She even signs her letter, “Need To Be Held.” She isn’t likely to find that at her local food bank or library.

to open you up to a new approach in your life. You will have more confidence than you have had in years.

Tonight: Read between the lines.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You have a tendency to be too serious. When you feel cornered, you might add chaos to what could be simple. Tonight: Someone makes an offer you can’t resist.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might want to loosen up and rethink a decision, especially if a loved one chooses to challenge you. Tonight: Pay attention to a loved one.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Pace yourself, and get as much done as possible. Someone you care about could be distracting.

Tonight: The party goes on.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could be overwhelmed by what is happening between you and someone else.

Don’t back away. Tonight: Let go.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You’ll open up new doors through a long-overdue conversation. This interaction might come out of a disruptive situation.

Tonight: Your treat.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Share more of your feelings with someone who cares about you. You might discover that you are on target with an important situation. Tonight: Be available.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY’S DEVONTÉ GRAHAM, RIGHT, AND WAYNE SELDEN joke around during warmups prior to tipoff against Oklahoma in this photo from Jan. 19 in Allen Fieldhouse.

Freshman Graham always smiling

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

If statistics were kept on smiles per game, fun-loving Devonté Graham would lead Kansas University’s basketball team — if not all of college hoops.

“The crazy thing about that,” sophomore Frank Mason III said Monday, referring to the demeanor of the 6-foot-2 point guard from Raleigh, North Carolina, “is my family members say the same thing about him. They are like, ‘Why is Devonté always smiling? Everyone has to have a serious face, and he’s smiling.’

“He’s always happy. It’s great to be around him.”

Graham, who has 20 assists against one turnover in five games played since returning from a turf-toe injury that forced him to miss six contests, admits he’s happy

to be healthy and playing a swear he’s the most popular key role for ninth-ranked KU kid on campus, just about.

Graham said he heard about it “on Twitter, from everybody, my mom.”

His mom?

“She was like, ‘What if he would have missed? Coach would have taken you out?

What were you thinking?’

She was more on the negative aspect of it,” Graham said. “I was just having fun, playing. I’ve never done that before. It was the first time.”

Graham and Mason played well together during crunch time in Saturday’s 75-62 victory at Texas. Graham had three assists, no turnovers and two points in 20 minutes.

Mason had 12 points, four assists and no turnovers in 35 minutes.

Despite ugly start, K-State in hunt in Big 12 Manhattan (ap) — It might have happened against Texas Southern, when Kansas State allowed an overlooked opponent to score four points in the final second for a numbing twopoint defeat.

Or it might have been a few days later, when the Wildcats couldn’t crack 50 points in a loss to Georgia. Or a few days after that, when star guard Marcus Foster openly sulked after getting benched, and Kansas State was run out of the gym in its Big 12 opener at Oklahoma State.

At some point, everyone seemed to give up on the Wildcats.

They were 7-7 at that point, their season in tatters amid strife and infighting.

All the discord resulted in apathy, with legions of fans refusing to show up for a game against TCU. Thousands of empty purple seats filled Bramlage Coliseum.

Barely two weeks later, everything has changed.

Buoyed by five wins in six games, including ranked opponents Oklahoma and Baylor and once-ranked Oklahoma State, the Wildcats (12-8, 5-2) have charged to the top of the Big 12 standings. They are just a half-game behind Kansas University for first place heading into tonight’s game against No. 17 West Virginia, which is tied with Iowa State another halfgame back.

“I think we’ve made some progress, obviously. Five out of six in the league, and a game at Iowa State we played well enough to win, we just didn’t play well enough at the end,” Kansas State coach Bruce Weber said.

The Wildcats have been producing just enough on offense, but it has been their feisty defense that has been outstanding. They’ve held 12 of their last 13 opponents to fewer than 65 points.

“Any time you play them, you know you’re playing one of the best defensive teams, not just in the league but in the country,” Oklahoma State guard Phil Forte said. “Especially at home.”

That’s where the Wildcats will be tonight, when the Mountaineers roll into town. After that comes a trip to Allen Fieldhouse and a date with the ninth-ranked Jayhawks.

Speaker strikes chord with Jayhawks

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Rayna DuBose has a connection to Kansas University athletics that likely will last the rest of her life.

But the fact she played basketball for KU coach Bonnie Henrickson at Virginia Tech 13 years ago played no part in her recent visit to Lawrence, even if the reunion was sweet for both the coach and player.

“I had nothing to do with

it,” a smiling Henrickson said following Saturday’s victory over West Virginia at Allen Fieldhouse. “Of course, I would have said that we should bring her in, but (the KU athletic department) hired her on their own, and it was so great to see her.”

DuBose, now 31, was in town as the featured speaker for the KU athletic department’s annual diversity training on the topic of overcoming disabilities. A 6-foot-

3 forward on the 2001-02 Virginia Tech team, DuBose played in 13 games that season, reached double figures four times and finished her career 15-for-15 from the free-throw line. Not long after the season ended, the Columbia, Maryland, native contracted the deadly bacterial disease meningococcal meningitis, which took all four of her limbs.

With her college playing career over, DuBose chose to fight, and, instead of feel-

ing sorry for herself, went on to try to inspire thousands of athletes across the country.

Sunday night at the Kansas Ballroom in the KU student union, DuBose spoke to hundreds of KU studentathletes, and on Monday she spent time with the athleticInstagram Photo department staff.

Knicks, Nets games postponed in face of blizzard New York (ap) — As the area prepared for what the National Weather Service was describing as a “crippling and potentially historic” blizzard, the NBA announced early Monday afternoon that it was postponing Monday night’s Knicks and Nets games.

The Knicks had been scheduled to play the Sacramento

Kings at Madison Square Garden. That game is now rescheduled for March 3. Monday’s scheduled Nets’ game against the Blazers will now be played on April 6.

This marks the 15th time a Knicks game has been postponed. Their last postponement was the 2012 season opener at the Barclays Center in Brook-

lyn. That game was canceled because of Hurricane Sandy. A game has not been postponed because of snow since a game in Washington was canceled because of snow after the Knicks had arrived by train.

The Knicks are scheduled to host Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday night.

Subway service in New York City will run until in the 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. range with limited service after that, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo said Monday.

Service on the Long Island Rail Road likely will stop at 11 p.m., and a travel ban on all main roads also is possible at that time, Cuomo said.

Frankamp arrested in Wichita Wichita (ap) — Wichita State guard Conner Frankamp was arrested over the weekend on suspicion of DUI, authorities said Monday.

The 19-year-old shooting guard was arrested early Sunday after being initially stopped for failing to signal a turn and maintain a single lane, Wichita police Lt. James Espinoza told the Associated Press. Espinoza said a breath test showed

Graham

Frankamp’s blood-alcohol content was .186, more than twice the legal limit.

A phone message left Monday at his parents’ Wichita home was not returned.

Shockers coach Gregg Marshall and Wichita State athletic director Eric Sexton issued a joint statement Monday in which they said they were still gathering information and “will handle

any discipline internally and in cooperation with any campus policies related to these types of allegations.”

“We hold all of our student-athletes to a high standard,” the statement said, “and take these matters very seriously.”

Frankamp, a Wichita native, set city scoring records in high school and was a coveted four-star prospect. He began his college career at Kansas

University, where he was a role player last season and seemed to have a breakthrough moment in the NCAA Tournament.

He scored 10 points in a second-round game against Eastern Kentucky and 12 points in the loss to Stanford that ended the Jayhawks’ season.

Frankamp was expected to contend for a starting spot this year, but instead elected to transfer when the Jayhawks wel-

comed several talented freshmen to their backcourt.

After a few weeks, Frankamp settled on his hometown team.

Frankamp is allowed to practice with the Shockers, who moved up two spots to No. 12 in the Top 25 on Monday. He is not eligible to play this season because of the NCAA’s transfer rules, but will still have three seasons of eligibility.

“It’s amazing to me his numbers since he’s been back,” Self said of Graham. “He was totally out, couldn’t ride a bike for three weeks, in bad condition, didn’t really bounce a ball. Then he comes back and has 20 assists, one turnover in league.

He gives us another ballhandler, somebody lategame situation who can take care of the ball, utilize the clock and get the ball where it needs to go.

Certainly I can see him continuing to play more and more.”

Graham said in looking back, his injury might not have been so bad after all.

“Just sitting back being injured helped me improve, seeing the game from how coach wants it to be played,” he said.

“We all think we know how to play the game, but little things like where to be on the court, the right passes to make, who to get the ball to, seeing things like that helped me out. I picked up on how he (Self) wants us to play, watching film, different things like that.”

KU’s next test is Wednesday at TCU. Tipoff is 8 p.m. at 4,759seat Wilkerson-Greines Athletic Center in Fort Worth, Texas. l

of the week. He averaged 14 points and 11 rebounds and hit 55.6 percent of his shots in wins over Oklahoma and Texas. l

What a play: Self on Monday commented on Jamari Traylor’s amazing hustle play against Texas.

Traylor blocked a shot, had his shot blocked, went flying into the stands chasing an offensive rebound, ran to the other end and dove on a loose ball at halfcourt, the ball kicking to Frank Mason III, who scored a basket and was fouled.

“It’s the best play anybody has made since I’ve been here. Everybody says Mario’s shot,” said Self, referring to Mario Chalmer’s three-pointer that sent the 2008 NCAA title game into overtime. “Mario’s shot was a great shot. This was the best play. It was a 17- to

just ripped your eyelids off.”

Murphy Grant, KU’s assistant athletic director for sports medicine and the head of KU’s diversity committee, was responsible for bringing DuBose to Lawrence — although Grant said DuBose’s relationship with Henrickson sealed the deal — and he said her appearances were better than he could have dreamed.

“I thought it went very well,” said Grant, who believes that programs such as these are every bit as important to the educa-

20-second play he made.

I’ve never seen a better dive for the ball. Not only did he dive for it, he dove for it and stole it as he dove.

“It was as good a play I’ve witnessed a guy making. There’s been a fancier pass, this or that.

This was an extended play. It was a special deal.

He was so proud of himself, and the team was so proud of him.”

Kansas volleyball lands transfer J-W Staff Reports

Anna Church, a native of Fairway who spent three seasons at Saint Louis University, has transferred to Kansas University’s volleyball team.

With the Billikens, Church compiled 1,073 career digs and 75 aces.

Last fall, she recorded a career-best 465 digs and a 4.04 average to rank third in the Atlantic-10 Conference.

“There’s an opportunity to add someone who has a great deal of experience, who is from this area and who grew up loving the Jayhawks,” KU coach Ray Bechard said.

“She’s obviously been successful at the level she was at and was looking for more challenge, more opportunity. We like all the intangibles she brings. Being a little bit void of upperclassmen, we thought it would be a benefit to our team to have somebody that has had experience playing at a high level.”

Church, whose twin brother, Gabe, attends KU, will have one year of eligibility remaining.

Wellsville — Five Baldwin High girls scored in double figures Monday as the Bulldogs notched an easy 82-32 victory against Wellsville in the opening game for both basketball teams in the Wellsville Top Gun Classic.

Baldwin bolted to a quick 8-0 lead.

Behind a full-court press and an effective running game, the Bulldogs went on a 20-1 run at the start of the second half and removed any chance for a Wellsville comeback.

Leading the way for the Bulldogs was 5-foot-10 senior Maddie Ogle with 15 points.

Baldwin will play Frontier League foe Spring Hill on Thursday for a spot in the tournament’s finals.

#whatsyourexcuse and #thiswomanisastud to the end of each post.

That was not the only time social media was involved during DuBose’s visit. Grant organized a tag board, with the hashtag #oneteamKU as the focus, to track the 16 24 27 15 — 82 highlights of her time Baldwin Wellsville 4 23 5 4 — 32 with the KU athletes.

“That was pretty Cornerstone 41, cool,” Grant said. “BePerry-Lecompton 31 cause that’s what they 12 10 7 2 — 31 do. Everyone got really Perry 14 9 13 5 — 41 involved with it, posted Cornerstone Perry-Lecompton — Jamison 12, some funny pictures and Mallonee 11, Robertson 4, George 4.

— Abby Holloway 12, good questions and just T. Cornerstone Bryant 8, C. Schlesener 6, Anna had a lot of fun.”

Holloway 6, Hamilton 6, Birtell 3.
