by KU’s 1988 national championship uniforms.

A special callout on the jersey’s back collar, “NCAA CHAMPS 1988,” further commemorates the Jayhawks’ rich basketball tradition.

The uniform is part of the Jayhawks’ season-long celebration of the 60th anniversary of Allen Fieldhouse.

Citizens offer feedback on police facility plan

By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @ConradSwanson

Lawrence city commissioners heard public comments once again on why a $28 million police headquarters proposal was shot down by voters in November.

About 45 people attended the Thursday night listening session at the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 New Hampshire St., several addressing the broader issue of priorities and timing of recent citizenfunded projects throughout the city.

“In the first meeting, we heard a lot about some of the

things we’ve done wrong, and it was good to have the public be able to talk, pointedly, to elected officials,” Mayor Mike Amyx told the crowd. “Maybe it had to do with the sales tax, maybe it had to do with the size of the project, maybe it had to do with the lot we had chosen.”

Lawrence resident Scott Henderson said he voted in favor of the police headquarters but wasn’t surprised when the ballot request for a 0.2 percentage point sales tax increase to fund the project failed 52 percent to 48 percent.

Not only is money tight around town, Henderson said,

Get ready to talk about whether Lawrence ought to get into the conference center business.

A long-delayed report studying the feasibility of whether Lawrence could support a new conference center is scheduled to be released in mid-February, City Manager David Corliss has confirmed.

Then it will be up to city commissioners to decide CITY COMMISSION what comes next.

“Once we get to that stage, we need to talk about the level of priority commissioners have for that type of project,” Corliss said.

stands to lose $1.3 million this year under one bill being considered in the Senate. If that were carried forward into future years, it would effectively negate the property tax increase that voters in the district approved this week in a mail ballot election.

Those moves are part of legislative efforts to balance the current fiscal year’s budget in the face of a projected $279 million revenue shortfall, a shortfall that could get worse if, as many now suspect will happen, January revenues come in below expectations.

But the moves also reflect frustration that many Republicans feel because the cost of the funding increases approved last year turned out to be higher than expected.

“It’s proving we have such a convoluted formula that even the Department of Education can’t understand it, that they would be so incorrect in their projections,” said Rep. Ron Highland, R-Wamego, who chairs the House Education Committee.

Last year, the Kansas Supreme Court ordered the Legislature to fully fund what are called “equalization formulas” that subsidize capital outlay and local option budgets for less wealthy districts. Those are school district funds that would otherwise come only from local property taxes.

That was expected to

Center CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

The idea of a conference center has been a topic for City Hall discussion after leaders of The World Company — which owns the Journal-World and LJWorld.com — announced last year that they were interested in developing a mixed-use project that would include a conference center on property owned by the company. The proposal has been to redevelop the former printing plant of the Journal-World at Sixth and Massachusetts and Sixth and New Hampshire streets into a project that would include a hotel, apartments, an open-air plaza and a conference center. Company officials have said they likely will ask city and Kansas University officials to consider how the two entities could participate in the conference center portion of the project.

Corliss said the new report from Convention Sports & Leisure won’t provide much guidance on whether the city or other public entities ought to provide funding for a conference center. Instead, the

The LEAP Ambassador Program at Free State pairs 15 boys with various members of the community, including school administrators (including Doll), financial industry professionals and even former Kansas University basketball player Wayne Simien.

Students and mentors first convened in December, officials said, and held another function Wednesday at the school.

It was created by Free State assistant principal Keith Jones, with the help of the Lawrence Education Achievement Partners, a program run by the Lawrence Schools Foundation that encourages community partnerships with schools.

Before Wednesday’s function, Jones said the program’s aim was teaching leadership and professionalism skills. He and Lawrence Schools Foundation’s Adina Morse said it was a pilot program they hoped would

Collective bargaining still a battle Topeka — An agreement reached among several education groups this week on possible changes to the state’s collective bargaining law for teachers may not be enough to satisfy some Republican lawmakers.

“From what I’ve seen so far, it’s probably heading significantly in the right direction,” said Rep. Marin Kleeb, R-Overland Park, who first suggested last year the groups negotiate among themselves on changes they could accept in the Kansas Professional Negotiations Act. “I can see a lot of the issues that were talked about in the past. But there’s probably still a lot of negotiation to be done.”

Conservative Republicans, who now have commanding majorities in both chambers of the Legislature, have long tried to reduce the power and influence of teachers unions, which they blame in large part for the rising cost of public education.

Last year, lawmakers passed a bill repealing tenure rights for public school teachers, which gave them the right to an administrative due process hearing before they could be summarily dismissed or nonrenewed for the following year. And bills were introduced that would greatly limit the number of

issues districts are required to negotiate in bargaining on master contracts for teachers.

During the interim between last year’s session and this year’s, a task force established by the Legislature met to study ways schools could be more efficient with their state funds.

A majority of that panel voted not to recommend any changes to the collective bargaining law while the education groups were still meeting.

Those groups — representing teachers, school administrators, superintendents and school boards — announced an agreement this week that would call for requiring only a handful of issues to be negotiated, including wages and benefits and hours of work. But it would give each side the right to choose five other topics they want to negotiate. And it would allow for additional items beyond that to be part of the package if both sides agree.

Kleeb met with officials from those groups Thursday. Mark Tallman of the Kansas Association of School Boards said later that Kleeb made no commitment to support that agreement, but did say he would discuss it with other legislators.

cost about $126 million, based on the school budgets that were in place at the time. But when school districts set their new budgets in August, many more of them raised their budgets to take advantage of the new aid available, which drove the cost higher than the estimates.

On Wednesday, Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration proposed an emergency stop-gap bill it said lawmakers need to pass quickly to prevent a cashflow problem in February

that could force the state to delay payments to school districts and Medicaid health care providers.

Brownback’s plan called for delaying payment of about $45 million in capital outlay aid to school districts until June 15, two weeks before the end of the fiscal year. But on Thursday, the House Appropriations Committee voted to amend that provision, agreeing to pay about $25 million, while delaying the rest until June 15.

That would have only a

small impact on the Lawrence district, which receives about $320,000 in capital outlay aid. But a bill coming up for a hearing in a Senate committee next week would take a much bigger bite out of Lawrence’s budget.

That bill would change the way LOB equalization aid is distributed. Currently the formula bases eligibility for that aid on the district’s per-pupil property valuation.

Under that formula, the tiny school district of Satan-

report looks at how large of a center feasibly could be supported in the community.

“We’re trying to determine if a center of a certain size were built, would it be well-used in the community,” Corliss said.

But Corliss said any request for financial participation from the city will require commissioners to consider how the project stacks up against other projects under discussion at City Hall.

“It is not our top capital priority at the moment. The police facility is,” Corliss said.

Dan Simons, president of the digital division of The World Company, said the possibility of a new police headquarters project shouldn’t dissuade the community from moving forward on a conference center.

“We have said from day one that a mixed-use development, part of which is a conference center, will generate a lot of money that can go toward paying for a police headquarters or other city needs,” Simons said.

“If done correctly, this will add revenue to the city.”

Simons said having KU involved in the project could help the community attract a variety of academ-

ic conferences that currently are being held elsewhere but could benefit from the expertise available at the university.

City officials originally contracted for the feasibility study in July, and it was estimated the study would be done by mid-September.

But Corliss said difficulties in coordinating the schedules of officials at the city and the university — which

are splitting the costs of the $29,000 study — led to a delay. In August, Corliss said he expected the study to be completed by the end of 2014.

Corliss said he is now confident the study will be ready to be released by mid-February. He said he’s received a draft of the report and that final rewrites of the document should not take long.

spread to all students in other district schools.

Jones said one reason the group was reserved for boys was because boys graduate at a lower rate than girls.

According to Lawrence school district data, 95.3 percent of girls graduated after the 2013-14 school year, while 88.2 percent of boys did. Girls have posted a better graduation rate than boys in Lawrence since at least the 2009-10 school year.

“It’s outrageous, frankly,” Bonney said in an interview. “One of the problems with the glass ceiling is that women do not have these social connections with business people, educators.”

This is the second time in a month the ACLU has contacted the district about Title IX concerns. On Jan. 12, the organization wrote to Doll about male-only and female-only English classes at Free State. ta in western Kansas — in an area rich with oil and gas wells but very few students — is considered one of the wealthiest districts in the state, on a per-pupil basis.

But the Blue Valley school district in Johnson County, often thought to be one of the wealthiest areas of the state, actually qualifies for equalization aid.

“Nobody in their right minds defines Blue Valley as poor,” said Sen. Ty Masterson, R-Andover, who chairs the Senate Ways and Means Committee.

Masterson is pushing a bill to change the LOB equalization formula to base it on each district’s total valuation, regardless of size, which would immediately cut aid for many of the state’s largest school districts.

“But there’s some collateral damage in the process,” said Senate Democratic Leader Anthony Hensley of Topeka. “You have poor school districts, inner-city school districts, that are going to take a hit as well.”

According to figures from the Department of Education, the bill would reduce LOB equalization aid overall by $39 million.

Lawrence would lose $1.3 million under that plan, or 22 percent of its aid.

Wichita, the state’s largest district, would lose nearly $4 million, or 6 percent of its aid. And Blue Valley would lose all of the $3.3 million in equalization aid it receives.

The Ways and Means Committee postponed a hearing that had been scheduled for Thursday on that bill. The hearing is now set for Feb. 2.

Brownback names federal judge’s aide to appeals court Topeka (ap) — Gov. Sam Brownback has nominated a senior federal judge’s longtime legal adviser and research clerk for the Kansas Court of Appeals.

Brownback announced Thursday that he’s chosen Kathryn Gardner, of Topeka, for the state’s secondhighest court.

Her apGardner pointment is subject to state Senate confirmation.

Gardner has worked for the past 15 years as Senior U.S. District Judge Sam Crow’s law clerk. She also is a former assistant attorney general, had a private law practice for 12 years and was a research attorney for a state Court of Appeals judge for two years after law school.

Brownback cited her legal experience during a news conference but also noted that Gardner writes cowboy poetry.

She would replace Caleb Stegall, who was elevated by Brownback last year to the state Supreme Court.

Proposed bill would limit civil lawsuits over public speech

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — Kansans would have more protection from civil lawsuits over public comments they make about public issues under a bill being considered in the Kansas House.

The House Judiciary Committee heard testimony Thursday on the “Public Speech Protection Act,” a proposal that would require anyone filing a civil action based on someone else’s public comments to first verify in writing and under oath that the claim is based on fact, that it is being filed in good faith, and that it is not intended to suppress anyone’s con-

stitutional right of free speech.

Rep. Jan Pauls, R-Hutchinson, said the bill targets what are sometimes called “SLAPP” — strategic lawsuit against public participation — suits, which she described as “strate- Pauls gic lawsuits against public participation.”

In some cases, she said, attorneys representing clients with particular interests in public policy will merely threaten to file suits if people speak out on those issues in ways that could damage their clients.

Kansas University law professor Mike Kautsch

also testified in favor of the bill. He recommended the language be broadened to include speech about private businesses or other activities not involving governmental policy.

Topeka — Kansas lawmakers are considering a bill that may require police officers to wear body cameras, but opponents of the proposal argue that the costs may outweigh the benefits.

The Senate Corrections and Juvenile Justice Committee heard testimony Thursday on legislation that would require all officers to wear body cameras and continually record their activities and interactions. The proposal mandates that portions of the recorded footage that are relevant to investigations or official complaints or that show the use of force would be stored for three years. Archived video could then be requested by those involved in the incidents or their attorneys.

Rep. Gail Finney, a black Democrat from Wichita, testified in favor of the proposal, and said many of her minority constituents have complained of racial profiling by police. She also fears her children and grandchildren could be victims of ex- Finney cessive force.

Following last year’s shooting death of Michael Brown by a Ferguson, Mo., police officer, several public figures including President Barack Obama have backed measures to put cameras on police officers.

Several cities and counties in Kansas have already equipped police with body cameras, and the Wichita Police Department announced in December that every one of its officers would be equipped with one by the end of the year.

Man appealing status as violent sexual predator

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — A Douglas County man who has been judged to be a violent sexual predator will ask the Kansas Supreme Court today to overturn that status.

Kodi A. Thomas has been confined at the Larned State Hospital since 2012 under a law that allows the state to continue holding people in custody indefinitely for treatment after they have completed their criminal sentences.

He was sent there after serving 16 years for convictions in 1996 for attempted rape and aggravated burglary. According to court records, he had two earlier convictions for sex crimes: a 1981 conviction on two counts of indecent liberties with a child for participating in a gang rape of two girls; and a 1987 conviction for indecent solicitation of a child.

tried to lift the doghouse but got only a lungful of smoke for her efforts as the roof came loose. She took a moment to catch her breath before successfully kicking the doghouse to the side of the porch and then tossing it on the front lawn.

“When I threw it, fire went everywhere,” Ritter said. “I stomped out all the puddles as best I could using my good foot.”

Ritter then got back on her bus and called the Willow Springs Township Fire Department, but with a new passenger onboard.

“When I got on the bus, the dog said, ‘I’m going to stay with you,’” Ritter explained.

So bus driver, Bilbo and passengers moved on to the next stop on Ritter’s route, where she told Tiffany Paulick, the mother of her students, about the fire.

“Luckily, there was a hose on the side of the house,” she said. “I used that to hose it down.”

Anti-Semitism poses growing threat

EDITORIALS

Best spot?

The idea that other local school district properties might have possibilities for a new teen center seems worthy of consideration.

R

andy Masten was the only Lawrence school board member to vote against a proposal to locate a new Boys and Girls Club teen center near the district’s new College and Career Center, but he raised a valid point.

Masten said he supported a new teen center but thought officials might have taken more time to consider other districtowned properties around the city before zeroing in on the career center, located in the 2900 block of Haskell Avenue.

The Boys and Girls Club previously had hoped to locate a teen center near the West Lawrence interchange of the Kansas Turnpike, but started looking for another site after voters turned down the sales tax that would have been used to purchase that property and build a new police headquarters there. It’s unknown how many sites the club considered before making a proposal to the school district.

The Haskell Avenue location seems kind of in the middle of nowhere, but the club may assume it will have to provide transportation for middle school students regardless of where the facility is located. Having the teen center near the career center might have some advantages for high school students who could use both facilities.

The teen center is envisioned to be a 30,000-square-foot building that could house a gymnasium, a dance room, a technology center and study areas. Plans to have a full commercial kitchen at the center were of interest to school district officials who saw the potential to use that kitchen for its culinary program.

The Boys and Girls Club already has a great partnership with the school district, which allows the club to offer after-school programs at 13 elementary schools. One of the beauties of that program is that it uses existing facilities that are conveniently located throughout the city. What Masten may have been wondering is whether a similar situation might be pursued for the teen center — a building or land that could be repurposed for use by the Boys and Girls Club.

Club officials estimate they will need to raise about $5 million to build the center.

If tax dollars were being sought for this project, some local residents might question the need for additional gym space in the city or push for more investigation of buildings that might be reused. Even private donors would like to be confident that club officials have done all the necessary homework — looking at different sites and considering various alternatives to new construction — to make sure they are getting the best bang for their bucks.

The Boys and Girls Club does outstanding work in Lawrence, and it’s no wonder that a fundraising report it received late last year shows it has a strong image and good potential for fundraising in the community. Still, Masten raised a valid concern when he suggested that more consideration might have been given to other potential teen center sites.

Washington — Amid the ritual expressions of regret and the pledges of “never again” on Tuesday’s 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, a bitter irony was noted: Anti-Semitism has returned to Europe.

With a vengeance.

It has become routine. If the kosher-grocery massacre in Paris hadn’t happened in conjunction with Charlie Hebdo, how much worldwide notice would it have received?

As little as did the murder of a rabbi and three children at a Jewish school in Toulouse. As little as did the terror attack that killed four at the Jewish Museum in Brussels.

The rise of European antiSemitism is in reality just a return to the norm. For a millennium, virulent Jewhatred — persecution, expulsions, massacres — was the norm in Europe until the shame of the Holocaust created a temporary anomaly wherein anti-Semitism became socially unacceptable.

The hiatus is over. Jewhatred is back, recapitulating the past with impressive zeal. Italians protesting Gaza handed out leaflets calling for a boycott of Jewish merchants. As in the 1930s. A widely popular French comedian has introduced a variant of the Nazi salute. In Berlin, Gaza brought out a mob chanting, “Jew, Jew, cowardly pig, come out and fight

Charles Krauthammer letters@charleskrauthammer.com

“

The threat to the Jewish future lies not in Europe but in the Muslim Middle East, today the heart of global antiSemitism…” alone!” Berlin, mind you.

European anti-Semitism is not a Jewish problem, however. It’s a European problem, a stain, a disease of which Europe is congenitally unable to rid itself.

From the Jewish point of view, European anti-Semitism is a sideshow. The story of European Jewry is over. It died at Auschwitz.

Europe’s place as the center and fulcrum of the Jewish world has been inherited by Israel, now the largest Jewish community on earth.

The threat to the Jewish future lies not in Europe but in the Muslim Middle East, today the heart of global anti-Semitism, a veritable

factory of anti-Jewish literature, films, blood libels and calls for violence, indeed for another genocide.

The founding charter of Hamas calls not just for the eradication of Israel but for the killing of Jews everywhere.

For America, Europe and the moderate Arabs, there are powerful reasons having nothing to do with Israel for trying to prevent an apocalyptic, fanatically anti-Western clerical regime in Tehran from getting the bomb: Iranian hegemony, nuclear proliferation (including to terror groups) and elemental national security.

For Israel, however, the threat is of a different order.

Direct, immediate and mortal.

The sophisticates cozily assure us not to worry. Deterrence will work. Didn’t it work against the Soviets?

Well, just 17 years into the atomic age, we came harrowingly close to deterrence failure and all-out nuclear war. Moreover, godless communists anticipate no reward in heaven. Atheists calculate differently from jihadists with their cult of death. Name one Soviet suicide bomber.

Former Iranian President Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani once characterized tiny Israel as a one-bomb country. He acknowledged Israel’s deterrent capacity but noted the asymmetry: “Application of an atomic bomb would

not leave anything in Israel but the same thing would just produce damages in the Muslim world.” Result? Israel eradicated, Islam vindicated.

So much for deterrence.

And even if deterrence worked with Tehran, that’s not where the story ends.

Iran’s very acquisition of nukes would set off a nuclear arms race with half a dozen Muslim countries from Turkey to Egypt to the Gulf states — in the most unstable part of the world. A place where, say, a moderate pro-American Yemen can fall to pro-Iranian rebels overnight.

The Iranian bomb is a national security issue, an alliance issue and a regional Middle East issue. But it is also a uniquely Jewish issue because of Israel’s situation as the only state on earth overtly threatened with extinction, facing a potential nuclear power overtly threatening that extinction.

On the 70th anniversary of Auschwitz, mourning dead Jews is easy. And, forgive me, cheap. Want to truly honor the dead? Show solidarity with the living — Israel and its 6 million Jews. Make “never again” more than an empty phrase. It took Nazi Germany seven years to kill 6 million Jews. It would take a nuclear Iran one day.

Ninth St. concerns deserve attention

By Dave Loewenstein

Over the past couple of months, there has been lots of conversation about the Lawrence Arts Center’s proposed development for East Ninth Street. At city commission, East Lawrence neighborhood meetings, in the Journal-World and on the street, people have been discussing the potential impacts and opportunities of this firstof-its-kind project in Lawrence.

Reflecting on the origins of this project, and studying recent evaluations of the new practice of creative placemaking, may help shed light on many of the concerns and questions that have been raised.

In 2010, Ann Markusen and Anne Gadwa Nicodemus completed “Creative Placemaking,” the National Endowment for the Arts report that introduced this new practice to a wider public. It Loewenstein was this report that launched the creative placemaking funding initiatives Our Town and later ArtPlace, which are at the center of the proposed East Ninth Street project.

But just two years after co-authoring the NEA’s paper, Markusen wrote of her unease about how ArtPlace was measuring creative placemaking success. She writes, “ArtPlace is developing ‘measures of value, which capture changes in rental and ownership values…’ This reads like an invitation to gentrification, and contrary to the NEA’s aspirations for creative placemaking to support social cohesion and community attachment.”

This is not a surprise. Gadwa Nicodemus and Markusen alerted us to the potential of creative placemaking to spur gentrification in their original NEA

YOUR TURN paper when they wrote, “Arts-initiated revitalization can set off gentrification pressures that displace current residents and small businesses, including nonprofit arts organizations.”

And they are not alone in their concern.

In his 2013 essay, “Placemaking and the Politics of Belonging and Dis-Belonging,” Roberto Bedoya, executive director of the Tucson Pima County Arts Council, writes, “The blind love of Creative Placemaking that is tied to the allure of speculation culture and its economic thinking of ‘build it and they will come’ is suffocating and unethical, and supports a politics of dis-belonging employed to manufacture a ‘place.’”

These comments by respected arts leaders are clearly reflected in the dialogue that has emerged around the proposed East Ninth Street project. Although East Lawrence was represented on the Cultural District Task Force, which made general recommendations for the Cultural District, the East Lawrence Neighborhood Association was not consulted in the development of the actual ArtPlace and Our Town grants related to East Ninth Street. Concerns about this perceived lack of agency in the process led ELNA to initiate forums for discussion around the project’s implications, including facilitated public meetings and the three-hour “Imagining East Ninth Street” event.

Comments from many participants at these meetings expressed the need for accountability and the desire for full participation in the overall process. These ideas taken together concern social equity — the idea that fair access to livelihood, education and resources; full participation in the political and cultural life of the community; and self-determination in meeting fundamental needs is a social good intrinsic to healthy and just communities.

In her 2014 article, “The Gentrification of Our Livelihoods: Everything must go,” about an ArtPlace-funded project in San Francisco, writer Megan Wilson speaks directly to this need for equity.

She writes, “To achieve these ends, we must work to put far more pressure on our city officials and hold them accountable to provide the best services, opportunities and amenities for residents, while ensuring that existing communities are protected and supported through high functioning planning, permitting and legislation with strong and clear avenues for oversight and accountability by their constituencies.”

This is what many East Lawrence residents have been advocating for: genuine accountability and an acknowledgment of the value that their unique experience and knowledge can bring to the process.

Hiring the city’s first director of arts and culture, Christina McClelland, whose job included facilitating the East Ninth Street process, was a step in the right direction. Her expertise and experience were shown to be integral in creating an informed and equitable process. Unfortunately, that position is now vacant and we’ve been left adrift without a director of arts and culture to navigate the complex and sensitive dynamics of that project.

But perhaps this is a good thing.

Maybe it’s exactly what we need: time to pause and reflect on the underlying questions and concerns the proposed East Ninth Street project has raised.

Doing so will go a long way to ensuring that those impacted most by the project have a strong voice in its planning and implementation. It will also allow us to be much better prepared when the new director of arts and culture arrives, and the process of the Ninth Street project resumes.

Understanding Personal Mortgage Insurance LIZ WESLANDER

HOMETOWN LAWRENCE

Although conventional wisdom is that homebuyers should make a down payment of at least 20 percent when purchasing a home, not all homebuyers have that kind of cash available.

The good news is that most lenders are willing to give loans to buyers with down payments as low as 5 percent.

However, because a loan with a small down payment carries more risk for lenders, buyers with down payments lower than 20 percent are required to pay personal mortgage insurance (PMI) on their loans. The cost of PMI varies based on a buyer’s credit

score and the terms the loan, but can range from around 0.3 percent to 1.15 percent of the original loan amount per year.

Under the Homeowner’s Protection Act, a mortgage lender is legally required to cancel a borrower’s PMI coverage once they have paid down their mortgage to 78 percent of the principal (provided that the borrower is up-to-date on his or her payments and does not have an FHA loan.)

What many don’t realize is that PMI is no longer required once a borrower has paid down the mortgage to 80 percent of the principle of the loan. However, the cancellation of PMI at this point is only made at the

initiation of the borrower. In other words, with a little bit of leg work, it is possible to remove PMI from a mortgage more quickly than the Homeowner Protection Act dictates.

The first step in determining if cancelling your PMI is a possibility is to calculate the loan to value ratio (LTV) of your home. Dividing the value of your home by the amount of your loan does this. For example, if a borrower puts a 10 percent down payment ($15,000) on a $150,000 house, the amount of his or her loan is $135,000, and their LTV is 90 percent (PMI is required). Once that borrower pays $15,000 in mortgage payments, the amount of

the loan drops to $120,000, which when divided by $150,000, gives an LTV of 80 percent (PMI is no longer required). The easiest way for a borrower to reach this point is to simply pay his or her mortgage as planned.

Making extra payments on the mortgage will speed up the process.

It is also important to note that the LTV should be calculated using the value of the house at the time of purchase. Once a borrower has reached this magic 80 percent, they can request in writing that the PMI be removed from their loan.

Every lender is different, but assuming that a borrower has made all their payments on

time, this should be a pretty straight forward process.

Another, less sure-fire way to get PMI cancelled more quickly is to request that a servicer cancel mortgage insurance based on the current value of a home. This requires homeowners to order an appraisal of the home at their own expense, and most lenders require borrowers to wait a certain period of time after the loan is issued to make this request. The required waiting period varies greatly from lender to lender, but one local example, Capital Federal Savings in Lawrence, requires homeowners to have made at least 12 on-time payments before making this request. The main risk in

this approach is that if the appraisal comes in lower than hoped, the home owner has paid for an appraisal, which costs $400 in Lawrence, for no reason.

Most homeowners who request the cancellation of PMI based on the current value of their home do so because they have made major improvements to the house. Changes in the market may also cause a significant increase in value, but a county appraisal should only be used as a starting point when determining the value of a home.

Self will ‘take the win,’ but that’s all

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Jayhawks banking on Mason

As badly as Kansas University’s basketball team played down the stretch against TCU, the bottom line is the Jayhawks survived Wednesday and remain in sole possession of first place in the Big 12 Conference.

“I’ll take the win,” coach Bill Self said after Wednes-

day’s 64-61 road victory upped KU’s league record to 6-1 — a full game ahead of 5-2 Iowa State and West Virginia heading into a twogame homestand.

KU will meet (5-3) Kansas State at 1 p.m., Saturday and Iowa State at 8 p.m., Monday, both in Allen Fieldhouse.

Indeed, if KU is able to secure an 11th straight conference crown in March,

nobody will remember the Jayhawks saw an 11-point lead (with 3:35 left) dip to three in the waning seconds in Fort Worth, Texas.

“I am not happy. Nobody on our staff is happy.

The players shouldn’t be happy,” Self said. “We’re relieved we won, but how we closed the game ... even as bad as we played, if you close the game right, you win by 10 and leave feeling

better. That’s a terrible way to close the game.”

Self said the Jayhawks had no energy Wednesday, just as they had none in a 77-52 loss at Temple in nonconference play.

“This was a game, at least earlier in the season when it happened in Philadelphia, we couldn’t recover,” Self said. “We’re fortunate we Please see HOOPS, page 3C

UP NEXT Who: Kansas (17-3 overall, 6-1 Big 12) vs. Kansas State (12-9, 5-3) When: 1 p.m.

HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL

Watching Frank Mason play basketball prompts a question to which no answer easily comes to mind: Is there a sport he could not excel at had he grown up playing it?

A 5-foot-11, 185-pound sophomore, he’s fast, quick, strong, balanced, flexible, focused, driven, explosive, competitive.

Imagine Mason as a gymnast executing a double back tuck with three-anda-half twists to the amazement of the audience, a second baseman kicking his legs back to avoid the takeout slide and gunning an on-target, on-time throw to

Hernandez murder trial opens in Massachusetts Fall River, Mass. — The murder trial of former New England Patriot tight end Aaron Hernandez opened Thursday with prosecutors telling jurors that Hernandez orchestrated the slaying of a man who used to supply him marijuana.

Hernandez’s Boston-based defense team countered that he was “planning a future and not a murder” in June of 2013, saying that Hernandez was targeted from the start of the investigation due to his status as a professional football player.

Hernandez, a 25-year-old who grew up in Bristol, Conn., is charged with murder and two illegal firearms counts in Odin Lloyd’s death. In opening arguments at the Fall River Justice Center, Bristol County Assistant District Attorney Patrick Bomberg provided jurors a detailed account of Hernandez’s actions in the days, hours, and minutes leading up to Lloyd’s death — as well as after the slaying.

The government’s evidence includes DNA matching Hernandez’s that was found on one of the shell casings. The casing was found in the Nissan Altima that Lloyd was seen getting into with Hernandez and his two hometown accomplices an hour before his death. Bomberg also referenced a Nike Air Jordan footprint in the dirt at the crime scene that matched shoes Hernandez owned. He said a marijuana joint found by Lloyd’s body was analyzed and detected.

DNA consistent with both the victim and Hernandez was identified on it.

KU softball sets sights on NCAA repeat

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Senior Kansas University softball pitcher Alicia Pille spent the offseason often reminiscing about the moment last spring when the Jayhawks found out they were NCAA Tournament-bound.

She and her KU teammates aren’t living in the past, still basking in the program’s first postseason berth since 2006.

They just think about what they’ve accomplished in order to outdo themselves this season.

Pille already finds herself looking forward to the tourney selection show.

“I want more than ever, even more than I did before, to see that name (KU) on the screen again,” the senior pitcher said Thursday afternoon

at Rock Chalk Park. “So, I can’t wait, and I think everybody feels the same way.”

Now in her sixth season at Kansas, coach Megan Smith’s Jayhawks finished 34-23 in 2014, and went 1-2 in the NCAAs, with a win over Nebraska in Columbia, Missouri.

Sophomore utility player Lily Behrmann, junior shortstop Chaley Brickey, senior first baseman Maddie Stein, junior third baseman Chanin Naudin, sophomore outfielder Taylor Dodson, sophomore infielder Taylor McElhaney and Pille all played in that NCAA regional.

The Jayhawks would have even more experience in the lineup coming back, but sophomore catcher Harli Ridling underwent season-ending Tommy John surgery and

Their absences might have something to do with the Big 12’s coaches

picking KU fifth in the seven-team preseason poll, behind Oklahoma, Baylor, Texas and Oklahoma State.

“Top to bottom, the Big

12 is one of the toughest conferences in the country,” Smith said when reminded of the prediction.

“It is year in and year out.

We lost some players, but we gained a lot.”

Naudin said the Jayhawks hope to maintain the momentum of their NCAAs trip last season and prove doubters wrong.

‘I feel like we are definitely better than what we’ve been picked to be,” the senior third baseman said, “and we have an opportunity to show that we are better than that.”

What’s more, Brickey, who hit .365 with 12 home runs and 41 RBIs last season, said KU is capable of getting back to the NCAA Tournament.

“We know what it takes to get there, and we know what the oth-

er (postseason) teams are like,” Brickey said.

“We’ve been there and now it’s just about getting the newcomers to understand what it takes to get there, and getting them all on the same page with us.”

Smith indicated transfers Briana Evans (a junior outfielder from Ball State) and Monique Wesley (a junior pitcher from Cal State Fullerton) figure to bolster KU’s lineup, and freshmen infielder Daniella Chavez and catcher Jessie Roane figure into the Jayhawks’ plans, as well.

KU opens its season Feb. 6 at the Florida Atlantic Tournament, against LIU Brooklyn.

Also on the schedule at the three-day event: Georgia Tech, Arkansas, Florida Atlantic and Penn State.

Stigler stalwart for Jayhawks’ track and field

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Seeing how the Super Bowl is just a few days away, a couple Kansas University track athletes had some advice for head coach Stanley Redwine before he stepped to the podium Thursday afternoon for the team’s preseason media day at Rock Chalk Park.

“I guess I’m supposed to say I’m just here so I won’t get fined or something like that,” the 15thyear KU coach said with a smile, referencing Seattle running back Marshawn Lynch’s infamous repetitive response earlier this week.

Actually, Redwine had far more to discuss, beginning with the com-

got a lead early (13 points in first half). I guess we were just fortunate we were able to hang on.”

Sophomore Brannen Greene said the coach’s postgame message was direct.

“We’ve got to do better.

We can’t play like that,” Greene said. “If we want to get better ... like we thought we were building from Texas (Saturday’s 75-62 win in Austin). We still are, but if we want to keep building we can’t have performances like this. We all agree. We’ve got to do better.”

The key against Kansas State?

“Play like we did at Texas, with unbelievable energy, be the aggressor,” Greene said. “That’s what we didn’t do (against TCU, which is 1-6 in league play).”

BRIEFLY KU’s Hoag third in heptathlon Kansas University senior Austin Hoag was in third place after the first day of the men’s heptathlon in the Jayhawk Classic on Thursday at Anschutz Pavilion.

Hoag totaled 2,698 points, with the final three heptathlon events schedule for today.

KU freshman Arnold Dinh had a first-day total of 2,407, good for seventh place.

Kansas State athletes were in the top two positions. Reinis Kregers leads the field with 3,252 points, and Adam Deterding is second, 79 points ahead of Hoag.

petitive nature of the Jayhawks.

All senior hurdler Michael Stigler has done since coming to KU is win three straight Big 12 championships in the 400 hurdles and earn firstteam All-American status each season.

“I don’t really like singling people out,” Redwine said, “but that’s one guy that I know will give everything he has every time he steps on the line, and that’s in practice, and everything that he does. We’re really excited about his senior year and the things we’re hoping he will do.”

Likewise, 2014 AllBig 12 selection in the women’s 800 (indoor and outdoor) Rhavean King thrives on competition,

l Nino doubtful: Kansas State’s Nino Williams, who hurt his left knee Tuesday in a loss to West Virginia, has been listed as doubtful for Saturday’s game against KU. “The good news is there is no structure damage where he would need surgery and be out for the year,” KSU coach Bruce Weber said of the 6-5, 220-pound senior who is KSU’s second-leading scorer (11.7) and leading rebounder (4.9).

“The negative is that it is a strain or sprain with irritation where we have to go on him and his pain tolerance. He is a tough guy. He has lived with pain since I have been here. Ironically, it is not the same knee as the one he has had procedures on, he just landed wrong on a lay-up on a steal where he lost his footing and irritated it. If he cannot play, he must

“When you’re talking about competitors, you tell her she can’t do something, she’s gonna go out there and prove to

you that she can,” Redwine said. “Those are the kind of people we have on the team and that our coaches have been doing really well with.”

Miracles happen and (athletic trainer) Luke (Sauber) has a magical touch and we will see if he can get him out-and-about. Obviously, we want him Saturday but we also have to look at the 10 games after that,” Weber added. l Morris twins in investigation?: Former KU forwards Marcus and Markieff Morris of the Phoenix Suns are part of a possible assault investigation being handled

by Phoenix police, Phoenix CBS 5 News reports.

Police confirmed to the station they are investigating an alleged assault that occurred around 7:30 p.m. Saturday outside a gym near 15th Avenue and Colter in central Phoenix.

They would not release

the names of those involved. Sources told CBS 5 News the Morris brothers are being looked at as suspects in the crime.

The Suns had no comment. l Challenge: The Big 12/ SEC Challenge will be moving to January, beginning with the 2015-16 season, the leagues announced Thursday.

All games in next season’s Challenge will be played on Jan. 30, well after the start of conference play.

“We are excited to move this event to January to provide the Big 12 a unique showcase and help ESPN give the Big 12/SEC Challenge the attention it deserves,” said Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby.

sources to help her pull it off.

“I’m a driven person in everything I want to do, both academically and athletically,” King said.

“It was easy to do.”

As ambitious as both the men’s and women’s athletes are, though, Stigler said no friendly rivalry exists between the two sides — even though the KU women can point to their 2013 Big 12 and NCAA championships.

“We look at it like we’re all one team,” the senior from Canyon, Texas, said.

“We train together, we work together, so if the girls succeed we helped them out, if we succeed, they helped us out.”

The KU women return more than 70 percent of their scorers from last season’s roster,

COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

Buckeyes sprint past Terps Top 25 Men Ohio St. 80, No. 16 Maryland 56 Columbus, Ohio — Marc Loving scored 19 points and D’Angelo Russell added 18 points and 14 rebounds to lead Ohio State to a victory over Maryland.

Jae’Sean Tate, starting his third game in a row, added 16 points and eight rebounds for the Buckeyes (17-5, 6-3 Big Ten), who have won three in a row — including the last two over ranked opponents at home.

Dez Wells had 12 points and Jake Layman 10 for Maryland (18-4, 6-3), which had won four of five. Melo Trimble, who came in leading Maryland in scoring at 16.3 points per game, missed all eight shots from the field and ended up with three points.

No. 1 Kentucky 69, Missouri 53 Columbia, Mo. — Andrew Harrison scored 15 points to lead a balanced Kentucky attack, and the Wildcats pulled away in the second half.

The Wildcats improved to 20-0 for the third time in school history, and closed within five wins of matching the record start achieved by Adolph Rupp’s team in 1953-54.

As usual, Kentucky (7-0 SEC) won with its defense. Missouri turned the ball over 15 times and shot just 38 percent from the field in the second half, when the game was largely decided.

became the school’s winningest football coach and led Missouri to two consecutive East Division titles in its first three years in the Southeastern Conference.

Alden had less success trying to find the winning formula in men’s basketball, hiring four head coaches since Norm Stewart’s contentious retirement early in Alden’s tenure.

That group includes Quin Snyder, under whom the NCAA cited Missouri for recruiting violations and placed the school on three years’ probation; Mike Anderson, who flirted with the top job at several other schools before leaving to coach at Arkansas, where he was an assistant under Nolan Richardson; and Frank Haith, who left Missouri for Tulsa in what many saw as a downward move just two years af-

ter being named national coach of the year.

Alden’s official campus bio is littered with what it calls “history-making landmarks” under his leadership, from improved graduation rates to spearheading more than $265 million in private donations for projects such as the current Memorial Stadium expansion. He held several NCAA leadership roles and is a former president of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics.

SEC Commissioner Mike Slive called Alden “a transformative leader” who “commanded national respect across the college athletics landscape.”

Alden signed a sevenyear contract extension in 2012 that pays a base salary of $301,917, with the possibility of earning up to $777,976 through

Missouri AD Mike Alden to step down after 17 years St. Louis (ap) — Missouri athletic director Mike Alden is stepping down after a 17-year tenure marked by several high-profile coaching hires, significant facility upgrades and the school’s 2012 move from the Big 12 Conference to the SEC. Alden plans to leave in August but will remain at Mizzou as an instructor in its College of Education and an administrator in a new global servicelearning program. The school announced the move on Thursday and is planning a Friday morning news conference.

The Chicago-area native with roots on a family farm outside Columbia took charge of Missouri athletics in 1998 after working as Texas State’s athletic director in San Marcos.

In 2000, he hired Gary Pinkel, a little-known coach at Toledo. Pinkel

Among Missouri athletic directors, his time in office trails only Don Faurot — who presided over the program a total of 27 years in two stints interrupted by World War II and for whom the school’s football field is named.

In a letter to athletic department employees and Mizzou fans released soon after he announced the move at a Thursday afternoon staff meeting, Alden called his time in Columbia “a lifetime for an athletics administrator.”

Alden has spent the past year working for Chancellor R. Bowen Loftin, the former Texas A&M president who succeeded Brady Deaton, Alden’s boss the previous 10 years. Loftin said the school has already begun a national search for Alden’s replacement.

Firebirds CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

Mike Yoder/Journal-World Photo

LAWRENCE HIGH’S MARISSA POPE, RIGHT, defends Wichita Heights guard Tania Lowe during the Firebird Winter Classic on Thursday at Free State High.

Lions CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

sophomore guard Olivia Lemus said. “It just seemed like we didn’t come out ready. But, we definitely picked it up in the second half.”

After a quick talk by Dickson and senior point guard Marissa Pope in the locker room at halftime, the Lions immediately responded.

With a new lineup — Pope, Gracie Reinsch, Devon Spoonhunter, Emma Bentzinger and Asia Goodwin, the Lions (1-9) opened the second half with a three from Pope and improved defense.

“We needed to shape up and play like we can play, because that was not the team that we’ve been all year,” Pope said of her halftime message.

“It’s very frustrating, especially because we’ve had two weeks to practice, and get everything locked in. Then we just

come out and don’t convert the way we’re supposed to.”

The Falcons (7-4) took a 30-point lead midway through the third quarter before the Lions went on a 14-6 run to end the period. Lemus drilled two threes and sophomore Skylar Drum made another triple to get their bench fired up.

In the fourth quarter, the Lions opened with a 16-4 stretch with seven points from Pope, six points by junior forward Alexis Boyd and a three from Lemus, cutting the score to 56-46 with 3:23 left. However, the Lions couldn’t pull any closer.

“As the game went on we were able to figure it out a little bit and understand what it takes to compete at this level against a good opponent,” Dickson said. “So you saw what I see in practice every single day. Our job going forward is I need to do a better job of drawing that out of our team from the tip.”

Lemus led the Lions

with 15 points from five three-pointers. She’s averaged 11.3 points in the last three games.

“I just relaxed and I’ve had more confidence with my shot,” said Lemus, who shot 5-for-6 from deep. “I guess I’ve just been flowing with it.”

Pope and Boyd added 14 points each, while senior forward Matia Finley had a team-high 10 rebounds to go along with two points.

Baldwin girls reach finals J-W Staff Reports

Girls Baldwin 53, Spring Hill 23 Wellsville — The Baldwin High girls basketball team steamrolled into the finals of the Wellsville Top Gun Classic with a 53-23 victory against Spring Hill on Thursday.

It was the 11-1 Bulldogs’ seventh straight victory and the third consecutive game the mercy clock has run non-stop in the fourth quarter because Baldwin had a 30-point lead or more as the final period started.

As has been the case of late, Baldwin got off to a

hot start, leading 17-3 after the first quarter. The Bulldogs have been winning with defense, a running offense and depth.

That was the case again Thursday as the bench accounted for 27 Bulldog points. Sophomore reserve guard Taylor Cawley led Baldwin in scoring with 12 points, her third straight game in double figures.

Baldwin will play in the tournament’s championship gave at 5 p.m.

Saturday against Bonner Springs.

Piper’s hot shooting was contagious for her teammates. Despite playing in the typically low-energy afternoon game, the Firebirds shot 7-for-10 in the first quarter, with four threes from Piper and another from senior forward Sarah Coversup. Senior forward Adriana Jadlow also added a layup at the end of the first quarter to help Free State to a 22-7 lead.

“We always get hyped in the locker room, and Sarah always gets us excited, so we just brought that out on the floor,” Piper said.

The Firebirds didn’t slow down in the second quarter. Piper scored six straight points to open the period on a 8-0 run.

Free State ended the half with a 16-1 stretch, with six points from Coversup, five points from Piper, and layups by seniors Morgan Gantz and Hannah Shoemaker.

Coversup scored 13 points in the first half before she also sat for the entire second half.

“I think they were extremely excited to get to play a game again,” Duncan said. “That’s a lot of fun.

Certainly we were playing a team we were quite a bit better than today. But we still played with a lot of enthusiasm and did what we needed to do.”

Piper said there were no warning signs for her Mike Yoder/Journal-World Photo scoring outburst against the Chargers (0-11). She FREE STATE’S MADISON PIPER shoots over a Topeka West hasn’t been shooting the defender Thursday at FSHS. Piper scored 26 points in Free ball extra in practice, and State’s 58-19 victory. her shot was a little off in pre-game warmups. But once she locked in, there was no stopping her.

“We all had a lot of fun during that game, and that’s really important,” Piper said. “When we have fun, we always do great. I think that the next game, we’re really prepared for that and we’re all ready to go.”

The Firebirds will face Hutchinson at 6:30 p.m. today in the semifinals.

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Cousin creeped out by particular family dynamic Dear Annie: Over the holidays, I stayed at my cousin’s home. My cousin has two children, a daughter and a son. The son is 14 years old.

I noticed that the boy’s grandmother slept with him in the same bed. I think she has a weird obsession with the boy. She is constantly touching him and rubbing his back. She always has to sit next to him. She pays very little attention to the younger granddaughter. Worse, the granddaughter told me that her mother also sometimes sleeps with her brother (instead of her dad).

I think it is extremely odd for these women to be sleeping with this young man, who also still sleeps with his baby blanket. Isn’t he too old for this? What is

wrong with these women? Should I say something? — More Than a Little Grossed Out Dear More: Yes. We are surprised that a 14-year-old boy wouldn’t object more to the sleeping arrangements, and we suspect he will put a stop to it soon. If the mother and grandmother are doing this over the boy’s objections, however, that is completely inappropriate and potentially

Super Bowl: funny or what?

Is Super Bowl hype ripe for comedy? Or beyond parody?

The “Key & Peele Super Bowl Special” (9 p.m., Comedy Central) finds the funny in the midwinter sports hysteria.

Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele have carved out a special place for themselves in television comedy with their closely observed and surprisingly nuanced takes on some of the more arcane corners of contemporary life.

While they came to many viewers’ attention with their spoof on President Obama and his “anger translator,” they’ve also sent up the pleasures of hotel continental breakfast.

Their ability to get the tiny details right makes their absurd humor all the more silly and often powerful. Key and Peele will reprise their roles as the loud and opinionated NFL veterans and sports prognosticators Bertram Skilling and Dante Pibb. It takes a very good comedian to convincingly “sell” so much lame sports patter.

Like the game itself, the “Super Bowl Special” does not arrive without repetition and buildup. Comedy Central will air three hours of “Key & Peele” repeats starting at 7 p.m.

Tonight’s other highlights: O A radical experiment goes terribly wrong on “Constantine” (7 p.m., NBC).

O A mother and daughter’s 1993 murder revisited on “Cold Justice” (7 p.m., TNT).

O A virus may become a weapon on “Hawaii Five-0” (8 p.m., CBS).

O Renard calls out to an old acquaintance on “Grimm” (8 p.m., NBC).

O Sue’s efforts at diplomacy may be anything but on “Glee” (8 p.m., Fox).

O A pitch all the way from Paris on “Shark Tank” (8 p.m., ABC).

O Cole’s quest returns him to 2014 on “12 Monkeys” (8 p.m., Syfy).

O A target thwarts a hit man on “Blue Bloods” (9 p.m., CBS).

O A search for samples leads Jordan and Peter outside the friendly confines on “Helix” (9 p.m., Syfy).

BIRTHDAYS Actress Dorothy Malone is 90. Producer-director Harold Prince is 87. Actor Gene Hackman is 85. Actress Tammy Grimes is 81. Actress Vanessa Redgrave is 78. Chess grandmaster Boris Spassky is 78.
