“Words cannot express how deeply this Lulu and Jig, who tragedy has affected belonged to Eric and those of us who have Vanessa Eicher, both come to know and love died from the fire. these animals and their families over the years,” said a statement by Liz Devin that was posted on Christal K-9’s Facebook page. “The owners and staff of Christal K-9 offer our heartfelt condolences to the families who were affected by the fire.”

Grocery CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

The grocery store would be on the ground floor of a seven-story building that also would include office and apartment uses. The building would be adjacent to a parking garage proposed to be built just east of the alley that runs between Massachusetts and New Hampshire streets.

“We’ll shrink the store down from what we have at Checkers, but it will still be a price-oriented grocery store,” Lewis said. “That is our game.”

Lewis had been pursuing a deal to locate a grocery store in the former Borders Bookstore building at Seventh and New Hampshire streets. But as the JournalWorld previously reported, negotiations with the outof-town owner of the building stalled.

The Compton/Allen group had previously proposed a seven-story building for the site — which is right across from the Douglas County Courthouse and Watkins Community Museum — that would have included a drug store on the ground floor. But as the Journal-World previously reported, negotiations with the national drug store chain also stalled.

“The development group reached out to us and said they would love to have us involved in their project,” Lewis said.

“From our perspective, dealing with local people is really refreshing. They understand what we want, and we understand what they want.”

A deal for the project, however, is not yet done.

Parking issues will be paramount to the project, Lewis said. Lawrence city commissioners will be asked to consider one major parking issue at their Tuesday evening meeting. The grocery store is seeking exclu-

Fire CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

But for Eric and Vanessa Eicher, who lost two dogs, Lulu and Jig, in the fire, the condolences are not enough. Lulu was the first dog to die at the scene, and when the Eichers viewed her body, her white fur was black with smoke and she’d ripped the skin off the top of her nose in an apparent attempt to free herself from her cage.

“It’s always going to haunt me how they suffered,” Vanessa Eicher said.

Jig, the Eichers’ other dog, died Tuesday, Vanessa Eicher said, after “fighting for his life” in the intensive care unit of a veterinary hospital in Mission. Eicher said she was originally told that her dog was in the hospital only for “observation.”

Another Christal K-9 patron, Nancy Hause, said she was told the same thing by Christal K-9 before her dog, Bentley, died.

So far, three of the 21 dogs who were in the fire

sive, non-metered use of 18 parking spaces along the east side of Massachusetts Street. The grocery store also is seeking exclusive, non-metered use of 16 new angled parking spaces that would be built along 11th Street.

“If we don’t have enough parking, you can’t have enough business, and then it fails,” Lewis said.

Lewis said the project also likely would involve some other incentive requests from the city. He said a tax increment financing district, which would allow some of the taxes generated by the project to be used to pay for parking and infrastructure, was a possibility.

As for the store itself, preliminary plans call for it to be about 22,000 square feet and offer a full line of groceries and produce.

Lewis said his son J.R. Lewis is leading the design and has plans to create a store that really highlights its independent ownership.

“He wants to take it back to more of the way it was in the ’50 and ’60s,” Lewis said.

“It would be a real hometown grocery store.”

Lewis said the development plans to ask the city to allow the building to have design features along its Massachusetts Street facade that would allow for an open air-market type of feel during certain times of the year.

Lewis said the idea of a downtown grocery store has been popular with lots of customers who come to the flagship Checkers store, 2300 Louisiana St., which would remain in business with the new project.

“I have people asking me everyday in the store whether we’re going to get something done downtown,” Lewis said. “I tell them I’m working on it, and I really do think we’re going to get it done.”

Synthetic drug similar to PCP worries doctors Salina (ap) — A Salina hospital is seeing a sharp increase in the number of patients who have used a synthetic drug that produces symptoms similar to those experienced by users of the psychedelic drug PCP. In the past six weeks, Salina Regional Health Center’s emergency room has treated roughly 60 people who smoked the chemicallaced drug described as “potpourri,” despite a law enforcement crackdown on sellers and public education on the substance’s side effects, The Salina Journal reported.

Five people who had been smoking potpourri together were last weekend taken to the hospital’s emergency department, said Dr. Keir Swisher. He said 95 percent of the time, potpourri users are brought in by ambulance “either seizing, convulsing or unconscious, in a coma.”

“They’re highly agitated, a lot of rage, spitting, hallucinating,” Swisher said.

“I did medical training in Chicago, where there was a lot of PCP use, and a lot

Lawrence hasn’t seen increase in use of ‘potpourri,’ police say of the patients resemble PCP users, with superhuman strength. I’ve seen a 170-pound patient, and it took six people to hold them down so we could sedate them.”

A dose of sedatives that should be strong enough to render someone unconscious can have little effect on potpourri smokers, Swisher said.

Swisher and Lt. Bill Cox, commander of the I135/I-70 Drug Task Force, believe the potpourri now in circulation in Salina is more potent than before.

“We’re seeing more side effects than in the past,” Cox said. “People don’t know what’s in it or how much.”

The chemicals used often mimic the effects of tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, found in marijuana, and there are dozens of such chemicals. Swisher said one sample of potpourri in Salina was laced with

Natural gas dispute headed to top court

Topeka (ap) — A lawsuit against an Oklahoma-based company claiming it and other natural gas companies gouged the Topeka, Kansas, school district and Learjet is headed for the U.S. Supreme Court.

More than a dozen other businesses and schools are the part of the lawsuit, which says ONEOK and other natural gas companies illegally fixed prices between 2000 and 2002.

Oral arguments before the Supreme Court are scheduled for next month, The Topeka Capital-Journal reported.

ONEOK denies manipulating natural gas prices.

Spokeswoman Stephanie Higgins said placing interstate natural gas markets under state laws could create confusion and contradictions.

“Federal statutes give (the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission) exclusive authority to govern various aspects of the interstate natural gas market,” she said.

Saturday are confirmed dead, owners of the dogs said Thursday.

The fire started when the motor in a box fan froze, according to Lawrence fire officials.

The Eichers said Liz Devin’s co-owner, Cedric Devin, told them that firefighters were at the scene “within an hour,” but the couple said that seemed odd since Fire Station No. 3 is just a half-mile away at 3708 W. Sixth St. The Eichers also wondered why the business, which had live animals staying unattended overnight, apparently did not have a working alarm system that was linked to the fire department.

Firefighters were notified about 6:30 a.m.

In response to the fire, city officials said they were reviewing city codes and possible changes.

City staff has been directed to review existing kennels to determine whether they are in compliance with the city’s

codes, according to an email from city spokeswoman Megan Gilliland.

City staff also will review city codes to determine whether city officials should consider improvements to kennel business standards, Gilliland said.

Gilliland said in the email that Christal K-9 “had not applied for a current kennel license,” which means the business was in violation of city code.

But Gilliland would not elaborate and did not respond to questions about when the license expired.

A fire inspection was done as recently as October, but inspectors did not find any violations of fire code and there was no mention that the license was expired.

Cedric Devin told the Lawrence Journal-World Thursday that his attorneys had asked him not to comment.

“I’m tied legally,” Devin said in a telephone interview. “These are not my decisions to make.”

The school district and Learjet initially filed separate cases under state-level antitrust laws in 2005, but they were eventually combined into one.

In 2011, a district court ruled that a federal law pre-empted the state laws that the plaintiffs cited so the lawsuit couldn’t continue. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals overruled last year, allowing the suit to proceed after plaintiffs appealed.

If the Supreme Court rules in favor of the defendants, no compensation will be given to the plaintiffs unless the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission penalizes ONEOK. If justices rule in favor the plaintiffs, the case would need to return to district court for trial.

“I don’t know what it means,” Booth said.

“He has done a lot of good things for the Humane Society and takes animals in all the time.

He has put on clinics in the parking lot to raise money to help out some animal groups. He has always been there for people and animals.”

Hause, whose 14-yearold Bentley died from smoke inhalation, said Cedric Devin visited her Thursday.

“He came over just to express his regrets,” said Hause, whose other dog, Zebulon, survived the fire but is still in the hospital.

“I know he cares about the animals, and he so desperately wanted them to be OK.” Fire inspectors estimated that damages to the building were about $60,000. Cedric and Liz Devin have owned the business several years.

The hospital doesn’t have the equipment needed to test which chemicals have been added, Swisher said.

Many people don’t realize how dangerous and unpredictable potpourri can be, Swisher said, adding that most of the patients he has seen are 16 to 25 years old.

“Teenagers, they don’t have legal access to alcohol, and this is sometimes sold in convenience stores,” Swisher said. “It’s more accessible than marijuana, and it looks safe.”

Asked Thursday about synthetic drug use in Douglas County, Sgt. Trent McKinley, spokesman for the Lawrence Police Department, said officers had not seen a recent uptick.

“I’m not aware of anything new in this realm as far as what we are seeing, nor was the drug unit,” McKinley said, adding: “It has been around for quite some time.”

Man, 18, arrested in armed robbery The Lawrence Police Department arrested an 18-year-old man Thursday after he allegedly stole an SUV at gunpoint and fled from police on foot.

Detective Sgt. Bronson Star said police were called to the 500 block of Florida Street at 5:43 p.m. for a robbery. The victim told police he was about to climb into his SUV when the suspect, who he did not know, approached him with a gun and commandeered the vehicle.

Police later located the vehicle unoccupied in the 1800 block of West Second Street and spotted the suspect nearby. After a foot chase, the suspect was arrested in the 400 block of Michigan Street about 6:00 p.m.

Lecturer sues KU over records sought by student group

By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

A judge on Thursday swiftly blocked Kansas University from releasing a lecturer’s correspondence, which a student group requested to learn more about his ties to the Koch brothers.

The action came hours after the lecturer, Art Hall, filed a lawsuit in Douglas County District Court seeking an injunction

against KU, which had planned to hand over the records today.

Hall is founding executive director of the Center for Applied Economics, a public policy think-tank within Hall KU’s School of Business. Previously he was chief economist for the Public Sector Group of Koch Industries Inc. In the lawsuit, Hall ar-

gues that the Kansas Open Records Act does not apply to his correspondence because it is “not related to functions, activities, programs or operations funded by public funds, but rather, private funds.” He states that his position with the Center for Applied Economics is “self funded” and responsible for fundraising need-

ed to sustain it.

He also argues that releasing the documents would violate his rights to academic freedom.

KU’s position is that regardless of who funds Hall’s job, he is a KU employee and therefore the open records act does apply to his correspondence, said Tim Caboni, KU Vice Chancellor of Public Affairs.

“We were very careful to make sure that we did

Warming up

protect professor Hall’s academic freedom, meaning we’re not going to release any discussion of research in progress,” Caboni said. “It also took us a great deal of time because of the volume of email included in the request but also because we had to redact some information.”

The Koch Foundation has donated millions of dollars to KU. Details about its relationship with the Center for Applied

Economics and Hall’s position are part of what the group Students for a Sustainable Future is trying to learn more about.

Group president Schuyler Kraus, a KU senior, said students are concerned that Charles and David Koch, conservative activist billionaires who own Wichita-based Koch Industries, are inappropriately influencing academia Please see RECORDS, page 4A

High school teacher enters race for seat on City Commission

By Chad Lawhorn Twitter: @clawhorn_ljw

A high school teacher of civics and government wants to apply some of his lessons to the Lawrence City Commission, and he has plenty to say about what he considers the less-than-textbook process the city used to build the Rock Chalk Park sports complex.

Matthew Herbert, a teacher at Lawrence High School, has filed for one of three seats to be filled in the 2015 Lawrence City Commission election. The City Hall process that involved issuing a no-bid contract for almost $12 million worth of infrastructure work at Rock Chalk Park is one of several issues that he

“I don’t hate Rock Chalk Park, but I hate the process of Rock Chalk Park,” said Herbert, who has labeled the process a “fiasco.” “There Herbert is nothing right about a no-bid process.”

Herbert also said he is becoming concerned about the increased use of City Hall financial incentives to assist private development projects. He said his economic development strategy would focus on creating “a level playing field” and would include an expectation that “private industry finance private development with private dollars.”

Herbert, 32, has been in Lawrence since 1995, when he moved here as a seventh-grader.

After graduation from Kansas University, he worked for five years as a teacher in Highland Park School District in Topeka and has been at Lawrence High since 2011. In addition to his teaching career, he and his wife also own a property maintenance company, Renaissance Property Management, which owns several rental properties in the area.

members have dropped out. Some of those, such as General Motors, have cited ALEC’s support for “Stand Your Ground” laws that allow people to use deadly force to defend themselves in any place where they have a lawful right to be if they reasonably believe they face an immediate threat of bodily harm or death.

A Florida version of that law was used in 2013 to acquit George Zimmerman for the killing of Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black teenager.

Other corporations, including Microsoft, have dropped out citing ALEC’s positions on environmental issues.

Among the model bills that ALEC promotes that could come up in Kansas next year is the “Electricity Freedom Act,” which would repeal laws and regulations requiring electric utilities to produce a certain percentage of their electricity from renewable sources such as wind.

ALEC also supports converting pension plans like the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System, which offers a defined benefit for the lifetime of a retiree, into defined contribution plans, which are similar to 401(k) retirement plans.

Besides Merrick and Wagle, the other 16 House members listed by Legislative Administrative Services as attending this week’s ALEC meeting, all House Republicans, are: John Barker, Abilene; John Bradford, Lansing; Susan Concannon, Beloit; Erin Davis, Olathe; Willie Dove, Bonner Springs; Bud Estes, Dodge City; Ramone Gonzalez, Perry; Dan Hawkins, Wichita; Kyle Hoffman, Coldwater; Marvin Kleeb, Overland Park; Jerry Lunn, Overland Park; Charles Macheres, Shawnee; John Rubin, Shawnee; Ronald Ryckman Sr., Meade; Sharon Schwartz, Washington; Troy Waymaster, Bunker Hill.

Residents should set out their toys or food at the same time they normally would set out their yard waste items on Monday. This is the second year for the food drive run by sanitation workers. Last year, the department collected 381 toys and about 2,200 pounds of food.

Secretary: State highway projects will move forward Topeka (ap) — The top transportation official in Kansas says highway projects scheduled for the 2015 and 2016 fiscal years will proceed, despite a projected multimillion shortfall in the state’s budget.

The Kansas Department of Transportation announced in August that it was planning to begin $1.2 billion in highway projects during the next two fiscal years. In November, the state announced it was expecting a $279 million shortfall for this fiscal year and a $436 million shortfall the following fiscal year.

Transportation Secretary Mike King said Wednesday the projects for the next two fiscal years will proceed, but he wasn’t as certain about 2017, The Wichita Eagle reported.

“We’re committed to

the projects that we have announced for the next two years, the $1.2 billion for calendar years ‘15 and ‘16,” King said. “So as people are talking about (the) budget and talking about, you know, how to help secure that, we’re in good shape.”

Some conservatives, such as Sen. Ty Masterson, R-Andover, had suggested the possibility of using the highway fund for Hensley other state needs.

Democrats warn that could put a stop to the state’s 10-year transportation plan, called TWorks.

The state said projects already announced to begin in fiscal 2017 will depend on the state’s budget.

“It all depends on how large the numbers that we’re talking about

(are), but I think all of us are committed to — I know in Gov. Brownback’s administration — are committed to funding transportation at the appropriate levels,” King said.

Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, D-Topeka, noted that the 10-year T-Works plan is not yet halfway done.

“If there is any sort of definitive job growth in the future it’s the highway plan,” he said. “Because it was estimated that the highway plan would create 175,000 jobs over 10 years, which is far more certain than Sam Brownback’s income tax cuts by comparison. ... So while the secretary may say ’15 and ’16 are OK, what about the remaining five years?”

Records

“I think it’s telling,” she said. “It just seems more obvious that there’s something going on that they want to hide.”

The Journal-World was unable to reach Hall or his attorney Thursday afternoon.

Tonya Mullins, director of communications and marketing at the Charles Koch Institute, shared a general statement with the Journal-World via email earlier this week.

“Our grants to universities are made in line with university policies regarding hiring and curriculum,” she said. “We support the academic freedom of faculty to make those decisions.”

by “buying” their way into KU and other colleges.

Students for a Sustainable Future requested Hall’s correspondence and other records earlier this year and, in September, paid $1,800 for KU to produce them. They received some documents last week. Caboni said the university is still working to prepare others.

Judge Robert Fairchild’s temporary restraining order blocks KU from releasing any more of the requested documents for now.

Kraus said she was surprised and disappointed that her group’s request had come to the point of litigation.

season, as this is the first election since the city approved a contentious new rental registration and licensing program.

Herbert said he largely supports most of the program but wants to ensure that it remains focused on inspecting for true life and safety issues.

“If my tenants don’t weed the garden, that is not a life and safety issue,” Herbert said. “I’m a big believer in property rights.”

Herbert — who says he will donate all his salary as a city commissioner, if elected, to charity — said he has been interested in local politics for a number of years. He thinks the timing is right to make a run at office.

“I think there is a lot of anger and resentment in the community right now,” Herbert said. “I really don’t think there is much benefit to being an incumbent right now.”

Election won’t ease GOP tensions

EDITORIALS

Early start

By Doyle McManus Los Angeles Times

An earlier start time for Lawrence City Commission meetings might benefit both commissioners and the public.

I

t’s a simple change but one that might make it easier for Lawrence residents to participate in the city’s decision-making process.

It doesn’t happen every week, but Lawrence City Commission meetings have been known to stretch well past some people’s regular bedtime. That means that many significant items at the end of the commission agenda may not come up at a reasonable hour. Not only may commissioners be getting a little bleary for these discussions but it also is less convenient for residents to participate in the process and still get up in time to make it to work the next morning.

To help remedy this situation, Commissioner Terry Riordan is floating the idea of starting commission meetings earlier than the current 6:35 p.m. His suggestion is that the commission begin the ceremonial part of its agenda at 5:30 p.m. Commissioners can deal with the proclamations and other ceremonial actions that occur at the beginning of the meeting and be ready to start their regular business meeting at 6 p.m.

That timing makes a lot of sense.

Most people who wanted to attend the meeting would be off work in time to participate, and it would be less likely that those people still would be sitting around at 10 p.m. or later waiting for the agenda item they are interested in to come up.

The 6:35 p.m. start time was set some time ago to accommodate local cable television coverage of the meetings, but now that the city operates its own television feed on its own channel, it no longer needs to adhere to that schedule.

Commissioners say they want to get some feedback from the public before making the switch. Maybe some valid concerns will be raised, but at first glance starting City Commission meetings about an hour earlier seems like a good way to accommodate more public participation.

After November’s midterm election, polls found that most Americans wanted their members of Congress to seek compromise — anything to end the gridlock that has plagued Washington. An NBC-Wall Street Journal survey found that even among Republicans, more favor compromise over intransigence. Four years ago, only 27 percent of GOP voters were in the compromise camp; now 49 percent are, while just 45 percent want their legislators to stand firm.

But that message hasn’t reached everyone in Washington. As Republicans’ internal wrangling on Capitol Hill made clear on Tuesanger without jeopardizday, House Speaker John A. ing a budget deal. First, he Boehner’s majority is still said, the House could pass hamstrung by a knot of zeala bill declaring Obama’s executive action illegal.

ous conservatives who don’t want to yield. And there’s no reason to think that will change next year.

The issue on the table is that Congress needs to pass a spending bill by Dec. 11, or the federal government stops working.

No shutdown Boehner, of Ohio, has already ruled out another government shutdown. The last time the GOP tried that, in 2013, it was an inglorious failure that drove the party’s popularity to record lows.

But the Republicans whom Boehner wants to move a spending bill, especially tea party conservatives, are furious at Obama for his decision to allow an estimated 4 million undocumented immigrants to stay in the country without fear of deportation, and they’re looking for a way to stop the move from going forward.

On Tuesday, Boehner proposed a way to channel that

Conservatives stand firm But conservatives weren’t having it. The bill declaring Obama’s action illegal would only be symbolic, they complained, since it would almost certainly die in the Senate, which still has a Democratic majority until next month. Meanwhile, the spending bill would allow the federal government to carry out the president’s orders.

“I don’t think you fund any unconstitutional action ... not even for the short term,” objected Rep. Joe L. Barton, R-Texas. “On principle, we should not compromise.”

Outside D.C., conservative zealots were far less polite. On his Red State blog, Erick Erickson denounced “Boehner’s twostep plan to do nothing about amnesty,” saying the speaker needed some “testicular fortitude.”

That left Boehner where he has been a half dozen times before: negotiating with the most conservative members of his own party to try to hold his majority together. After a closeddoor meeting in the Capitol in which he tried to sell his plan — and appealed to his members to “be responsi-

ble” — the speaker admitted he wasn’t there yet.

“We’re looking at a variety of options,” he said. “No decisions have been made at this point.”

What might those options include? The House could pass a bill that funds the government for less than nine months, thus giving Republicans another chance to use the power of the purse early next year.

The House could fund most of the government for nine months, but put the Department of Homeland Security, which runs the immigration service, on a shorter leash.

And Boehner could even ask Democrats to lend him some votes to keep the government running, although their leader, Nancy Pelosi, D-San Francisco, has said she’s not interested in bailing him out.

Congress didn’t change The moral of the story is this: Last month’s election didn’t change Congress much, at least in the short run. We’re still heading toward the same kind of cliffhanger that we’ve seen on spending bills for the last three years.

“The Republican Party is still caught up in a struggle between pragmatic conservatives and radicals,” noted Norman Ornstein of the American Enterprise Institute. “That hasn’t changed.”

And the furor over immigration hasn’t helped. “The Republican base is now convinced that Barack Obama is

trying to hijack the Constitution,” Ornstein noted. “How do you turn around and say now we want to work with him?”

A passing phase?

There are still optimists who think this is a passing phase, that Republicans, once they have the majority in both houses, will embrace the opportunity to show voters that they can make Washington work again.

“I think it’s going to be better,” said former Rep. Mickey Edwards, an Oklahoma Republican who has worked on projects to reform Congress for two decades. “I may be a Pollyanna, but I think the lesson of the last election was that the tea party lost. The people who won are conservative, but they are conservatives who want to govern.”

Maybe. At least one of those winning conservatives, Rep. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., who won a Senate seat last month, says he’s not ready to back Boehner’s proposal. Many of the 41 new Republicans coming to the House next month come from the GOP’s tea party wing, not Boehner’s pragmatic conservative tradition.

Said Ornstein: “If he’s been herding cats until now, just wait until he has to deal with all the feral cats who arrive in January.”

Safety at stake

Cracking response

To the editor: Tuesday’s editorial regarding the proposed school boundary changes was pathetically limp and downplayed the legitimate concerns of many parents.

It is troubling that the Boundary Advisory Committee initially adopted, without additional review, the recommendations of a firm that has no understanding of the geographical or socioeconomic landscape of this city. By the committee’s own admission at the Nov. 24 meeting, the recommendations were made strictly based on numbers.

The committee has no excuse for blindly adopting those plans without considering student safety.

The safety of students has been mentioned many times as a top priority of the committee. Yet at the meeting, it was clear that the committee had not considered the significant safety issues presented by the original Deerfield recommendation. Despite two car accidents taking place in the affected portion of Sixth Street hours before the meeting, none of the district officials present had real plans for ensuring the safety of the affected students under the original recommendation.

Boundary changes are stressful for all affected students, and, unfortunately, changes are now unavoidable without building new schools. Any plan adopted by the district must minimize the safety risks to students to the greatest extent possible. I think all parents understand that tackling school boundary changes isn’t an easy task.f Easy or not, these are the tasks that the board and committee members chose to take on when they sought election or volunteered for these positions. Difficulty does not excuse doing a poor job, especially when student safety is at stake.

Aimee Richardson Walkiewicz, Lawrence

To the editor: Reading how our city inspectors found cracks in the cement at 23rd and Iowa, then demanded the construction company tear the cracked concrete out and reinstall new cement: Good job!

Now, if only the same determination wereused for the new sports center.

When cracks and insufficient depth of pour (3 inches vs. 6 inches) were found, the response was basically, “Oh, well.” The reason was they did not want to disturb the people using the center. How was this any different from the mess at 23rd and Iowa streets?

I think an independent audit should be made of overall construction and cost to ensure no graft or illegal activities.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Dec. 5, 1914: years “If Dr. G. W. Jones ago had attended to IN 1914 his personal appearance as carefully as he generally does and had shaved himself Wednesday night he would have saved several anxious days for himself and family and some little money.

A note from his son, Stanley Jones, who has been missing since Wednesday evening, was found this afternoon by Dr. Jones when he went to his shaving outfit. The boy had left it where he felt sure his father would find it Wednesday night.

The note cleared up the mystery.

The boy had gotten into debt in a small way and thought it best to go to work in order to liquidate.

The note said he had gone to Coffeyville and it did not take his father long to get into communication with him and the boy will be home tonight…. Some time ago Dr. Jones purchased a small house in South Lawrence and told Stanley if he would fix it up he could have the income from it. The boy contracted some small debts on the strength of the expected rent and when he found the house had been vacated and his income from that source, was stopped, rather than stand off his friends or ask for money he thought he would go to work.”

To the editor: As my heart is broken and grieving with the loss of my April puppy (multipoo) at the fire at Christal K-9. I had just returned from Mexico and read online of this tragedy.

I want to thank everyone for the quick response, Becky (Jazzercise instructor) calling 911, the firefighters, volunteers, veterinarians and techs and anyone else who helped to get all the dogs out of the building. I can only imagine how hectic and chaotic it must have been trying to get the dogs out of the building and to medical facilities.

Thank you to the Chinese Shar Pei Club of America for purchasing the oxygen masks for dogs.

— Compiled by Sarah St. John My sympathy goes to the other dog owners who lost their best friend. And thank you, Cedric and Liz, for being with April till the end. Read more Old Home Town at LJWorld.com/news/lawrence/ Carladyne Conyers, history/old_home_town.

October home prices up 6.1 percent over last year JOSH BOAK THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — U.S. home prices rose at a faster year-over-year pace in October than in September, snapping a seven-month slowdown.

Real estate data provider CoreLogic said this week that prices increased 6.1 percent in October compared with 12 months earlier. That was up from September’s year-over-year increase of 5.6 percent.

Still, home values are

rising more slowly than they were earlier this year, when 12-month gains were averaging nearly double their current pace. The price momentum began to tail off in the middle of the year as home values in more cities and states neared the record highs last seen shortly before the Great Recession began in late 2007.

Higher prices have reduced affordability, especially because the incomes of many wouldbe buyers have yet to

match their pre-recession levels. Lending standards also remain comparably tight.

Previous price increases led investors to pull back from the home market, and first-time buyers have yet to fill the void created by their departure.

Price growth will likely remain mild as a result, CoreLogic said.

The firm projects that home values will rise 5.1 percent over the next 12 months. Roughly half the country’s homes will

match or surpass their pre-recession prices by mid-2015, it predicts.

Every state reported a price gain in October.

CoreLogic said prices reached new highs in Colorado, Louisiana, Nebraska, New York, North Dakota, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas and Wyoming. In 27 states, home values are within 10 percent of their previous peaks.

and Denver — where prices are rising faster than in the rest of the country because of their relatively strong job markets, incomes and home prices, said Sam Khater, deputy chief economist at CoreLogic.

Other real estate companies have forecast a sharper slowdown in price gains next year.

Zillow, the online home marketplace, estimated There are still pockets of this week that home the country — including values will rise a mere parts of Texas, Seattle 2.5 percent nationwide

in 2015. That slowdown should ultimately help b r i n g m o r e b u ye r s into the market and increase sales, said Stan Humphries, Zillow’s chief economist.

Humphries said he thinks more homes will be listed for sale as prices edge closer to their previous peaks, giving buyers more options.

At the same time, rental prices are expected to rise 3.5 percent. That should give people an additional incentive to buy.

Donovan remembers fieldhouse atmosphere

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Tonight’s trip to Allen Fieldhouse marks Billy Donovan’s first to the hoops shrine as a head college basketball coach.

He’s been here as an assistant, however.

“Not good. Not good,” he said Wednesday in Gainesville, when asked by Florida reporters if he had any memories of Kansas UP NEXT University’s t r a d i t i o n - Who: Kansas rich build- (5-1) vs. ing, site of Florida (3-3) tonight’s 8 p.m., clash When: 8 between Bill tonight Self’s (5-1) Where: Allen J a y h a w k s Fieldhouse and Dono- TV: ESPN van’s (3-3) (WOW! chanFlorida Ga- nels 33, tors.

233) “I was there at Kentucky. We lost by 55.

That was the first year, 1989 I think it was. I think it was 155-100 score,” Donovan added.

Donovan served as an aide to Rick Pitino when UK was hammered by KU, 15095, on Dec. 9, 1989, in Allen.

It’s the most points scored

by KU in a single game in history and most given up

by Kentucky.

“It’s a great environment,” 19th-year Florida coach Donovan said. “I think when you go on the road against high-level teams you’re always going to play in a great environment. And certainly they have a great environment.”

Florida has visited the fieldhouse once, the Lon Kruger-led Gators suffering a 69-63 loss on Dec. 7, 1994. Florida is 2-3 all-time versus KU with a 2-1 mark under Donovan, including last year’s 67-61 win in Gainesville in the initial Big 12/SEC Challenge. This year’s game is a Challenge rematch.

“They’ve got really a complete team. They certainly have a terrific front court and some very, very good backcourt players,” said Donovan, whose Michael Frazier III-led (15.2 ppg) Gators went 1-2 last week, beating UAB (56-47) and losing to North Carolina (74-65) and Georgetown (66-65, OT) at Battle4Atlantis in the Bahamas.

Digging in

Jayhawks’ search moving smoothly

KANSAS UNIVERSITY SOPHOMORE CASSIE WAIT practices with members of the KU volleyball team Thursday at the Kansas Expocentre in Topeka. The Jayhawks will face Arkansas-Little Rock in an NCAA Tournament game at 6:30 tonight in Topeka.

KU’s Wait steps up quickly

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Kansas University sophomore Cassie Wait always figured she would wind up playing the libero possession in college, she just never expected she would find so much success quite so quickly.

Wait, a former pole vaulter and outside hitter at nearby Gardner-Edgerton High,

earlier this year joined an exclusive club when she became just the third player in KU volleyball history to record 500 digs in a single season. The first was Catalina Suarez in 1984 and the second was recent KU star Bri Riley, who did it in both 2012 and 2013.

That Riley was the libero Wait was asked to replace only made her 534 digs and 4.74 digs-per-set average

(third all-time at KU) more significant. That she achieved such a milestone in the first place was a direct reflection of everything she learned from the KU graduate now attending nursing school in her native Chicago.

“It’s awesome I got 500 digs (534) and I think that’s really, really cool,” Wait said before a recent practice as Please see VOLLEYBALL, page 5C

Kansas City, Mo. — If only looking at the score, Free State High’s boys basketball players were happy with their season-opening 67-32 victory over AC Prep on Thursday at the Interscholastic League Fieldhouse.

But beyond the score-

board, there were quite a few negatives that the Firebirds will need to iron out when they face more talented teams.

They were as quiet as a basketball team could be on a court, with no communication to teammates for help defense or trying to defend screens. They also Please see FIREBIRDS, page 5C

The search to find the next Kansas University football coach is moving at a smooth pace, according to a source with knowledge of the goings on of the past few days. And it appears that KU athletic director Sheahon Zenger and his search committee, which includes special consultant Chuck Neinas, could be ready to make a hire by next week.

Through various sources, the Journal-World has learned that former Kansas interim coach and longtime KU defensive coordinator Clint Bowen, former Nebraska offensive coordinator Tim Beck, Texas A&M recruiting coordinator and receivers coach David Beaty and Ohio State offensive line coach and co-offensive coordinator Ed Warinner all were interviewed by telephone this week by Zenger and members of the committee.

Several others — both assistants and head coaches — expressed interest in the job at one point or another during the past several days, and at least a few of them also conducted phone interviews with representatives from KU. Sources confirmed that no offer had been made to any of the coaches KU had talked to, and one source said phone interviews may extend through today, clearing the way for in-person interviews to take place next week.

It is not yet known where the face-to-face interviews will be conducted, but the Journal-World learned that somewhere in Lawrence or the surrounding area seemed to be the preference of the committee.

Both Beaty and Bowen were known to be on the road recruiting for their current schools on Thursday. Warinner, meanwhile, was busy preparing for this weekend’s Big Ten championship game against Wisconsin. As for Beck, he appears to be busy exploring his options after being a part of the Bo Pelini staff that was let go by Nebraska earlier this week.

For the latest on the coaching search, including updates, candidate profiles, tidbits that might impact Kansas and any breaking news, stay logged on to KUsports. com today and throughout the upcoming weekend.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY’S CHAYLA CHEADLE, RIGHT, holds off Incarnate Word’s Melina Merritt on Thursday night in Allen Fieldhouse.

Jayhawks unimpressed with victory over UIW

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Hey, at least the starters didn’t have to play much.

Although Kansas University’s women’s basketball team handled Incarnate Word, 68-46, Thursday night at Allen Fieldhouse, coach Bonnie Henrickson didn’t find many positives in the win — other than the fact she didn’t have to ask too much of her starting five.

The Jayhawks (6-2) hit 57 percent of their shots and went 8-for-12 from three-point range, but they didn’t really dominate any facet of the game against the overmatched Cardinals (2-5).

KU turned the ball over 18 times, with UIW totaling 10 steals.

“We didn’t come out and impose our will,” Henrickson said, “which I was hoping for, which I was surprised that we chose not to — because that’s a choice not to do it. That’s got to start on the defensive end, and (you) fly around and create some opportunities in transition. We ended up in half-court offense, certainly more than I would’ve anticipated.”

Kansas scored just six fast-break points all night.

Senior forward Chelsea Gardner, who produced a game-high 17 points in just 21 minutes, pointed to the defensive end of the floor as a cause for concern, too.

“We really weren’t aggressive defensively,” Gardner said after she swatted three shots and KU allowed UIW to

make just 32.8 percent of its field goals, “and we gave up a lot of onelegged layups.”

KU’s other four-year mainstay, senior guard Natalie Knight, finished with 11 points and six assists in 22 minutes.

She said the Jayhawks shouldn’t feel good about the victory, because they often lacked energy and intensity.

Some might point to the matchup with the

lesser Cardinals, out of the Southland Conference, as a trap game — Kansas lost to No. 2 Notre Dame four days ago and will play host to No. 10 Cal on Sunday.

“I think it definitely can be,” Knight said, “and it was for us tonight. But it shouldn’t have been that way. We should’ve treated this as preparation for our next game.”

None of the Jayhawks talked up their threepoint marksmanship following the win, but senior guard Asia Boyd went 3-for-5 from deep on her way to a 13-point outing off the bench. Knight converted three of four from long range. Freshman guard Lauren Aldridge (five points) hit her only three-point try and fellow first-year starter Chayla Cheadle (10 points) made one of her two attempts from downtown.

Henrickson, of course, left the court more concerned with KU’s effort plays, including on the glass. UIW’s 32 rebounds nearly matched KU’s 35.

The Cardinals’ Yvonne Maosa secured 13 boards on her own, with seven coming on offense.

“There were a couple of times there’s a ball up above the rim,” Henrickson said, “and we don’t have anybody up in the air to go get it. We got caught on our heels, and that’s concerning, certainly.

Especially with what we know is coming in here on Sunday. It won’t look like that, and it won’t feel like that by any stretch.”

The 7-0 Golden Bears play at KU at 5 p.m. Sunday.

“Their talent level is extremely high. They’re learning and growing as they go as well. If you look at their pieces, front court and perimeter, they have it all,” Donovan added.

Junior forward Dorian Finney-Smith, who has been slowed by a pair of hairline fractures in his left hand, and senior center Jon Horford each average 10.3 ppg. Kasey Hill, a 6-1 sophomore point guard, averages 8.2 points and 3.5 assists per game.

“Kasey Hill and Walker (Chris, 5.0 ppg) were two of the most talented guys coming out of high school. They both were maybe top-10 guys, maybe even higher than that.

They’re really talented,” Self said. “Frazier can score. He was their designated shooter last year.

He hasn’t shot it poorly, but he hasn’t shot it great yet (42 percent, 35.9 from three). like he’s capable of. They have really good players,” Self added.

Hill, who hails from Umatilla, Florida, averages 8.2 points and 3.5 assists a game.

“I’ve never been there but I’ve heard it’s crazy,” Hill said of the fieldhouse.

“Joel Embiid is one of my good friends. I talked to him last night actually on FaceTime and he said it’s a great environment.”

Former KU center Embiid spent a year at Hill’s Montverde Academy, before moving over to Florida Air Academy.

“We were just talking about our season and their season pretty much,” Hill said, referring to Embiid’s Philadelphia 76ers. “We both are losing right now but it was just out of jokes, honestly, talking about how he’s doing, how his (injured) foot is doing, seeing when he’s going to play again, stuff like that.”

Hill scored six points and had three assists in Florida’s win over KU last year.

“The seniors, the other guys, they were ready,” Hill said of the Gators.

“They (Jayhawks) are experienced, they’ve been through it, and we’ll just try to be as ready as we can for the game and play as hard as we can and compete. They have good guards, we have good guards too, and we’re just gonna go out there and play hard and compete.”

Florida has hit 38.7 percent of its shots and 29.5 percent of its threes while averaging 63.5 ppg in six games (allowing 59.7). KU, meanwhile, has averaged 69.2 ppg off 42 percent shooting (32.6 from three). KU has allowed 62.3 ppg.

Of Florida’s 3-3 record, Self said: “They’ve played a hard schedule (also losing to Miami at home

and beating William and Mary and LouisianaMonroe). They were so beat up when they lost to Miami at home, so beat up. If you saw the shots that Angel (Rodriguez of Miami, former K-Stater) made to win the game, it was a joke. It looked like Sherron (Collins) against OU several years ago, just making some hard plays.

“And then you go over there (to Bahamas) and Georgetown is really good and they lose a onepossession game in overtime and (North) Carolina is really talented and they got off to a bad start and actually played pretty well after that.

“What’s great about his two is that he won one when nobody thought they were any good and he won one when everybody expected them to go undefeated. So he’s been able to handle the pressures of both of those situations. They were the best team in America last year and ended up losing in the Final Four, but over time they were the best team.” l Tape session: Self has had players watch tape of last year’s loss to Florida.

“We didn’t come as prepared to practice yesterday as what I thought we should based on how the game went last year,” Self said after Thursday’s practice, “so I just wanted to remind them of how good Florida was and how good they can be and certainly how good they were last year.”

Cowboys close out Chicago Chicago (ap) — The Dallas Cowboys look like a team that’s ready for another first-place showdown.

DeMarco Murray ran for a season-high 179 yards and a touchdown, Tony Romo threw for three scores and the Cowboys beat the Chicago Bears 41-28 on Thursday night.

The Cowboys (9-4) made it look easy for most of the night against a struggling team that lost star receiver Brandon Marshall to a rib injury. Dallas clinched its first winning season since 2009, but is looking for more, with an NFC East title and first playoff appearance in five years in sight.

Led by Romo and Murray, Dallas rebounded from a blowout loss to the Eagles on Thanksgiving and pulled within a half-game of them with another meeting in Philadelphia next week.

The Cowboys took a 14-7 halftime lead and scored 21 unanswered in the third quarter before the Bears (5-8) rallied in the fourth.

With that, the Cowboys improved to a league-best 6-0 on the road, where they have won seven straight since a blowout loss at Soldier Field on a bone-chilling night last December.

Romo, who has been bothered by a bad back, kept checking down and completed 21 of 26 passes for 205 after struggling against the Eagles.

Murray, the league’s leading rusher, carried 32 times. He also had 49 yards receiving. Dez Bry-

Cavaliers 90, Knicks 87 New York — Kyrie Irving scored a seasonhigh 37 points, including a layup with 10 seconds left after a timeout he didn’t seem to want, and Cleveland beat New York for its season-high fifth straight victory.

Irving carried the Cavs most of the game before LeBron James had five straight points late that helped Cleveland pull it out. James finished with 19 points and 12 assists.

Carmelo Anthony ended a 4-for-19 night by missing a 3-pointer in the final seconds as the Knicks dropped their sixth straight and fell to 4-20.

the hell is the coach doing not getting these guys to play harder? And then from 3:30 to 5:30 the coach is getting down on the players. So that was my night last night.”

More sleepless nights could be right around the corner.

The Timberwolves are 4-13, the worst record in the West, and face a gauntlet of conference opponents over the next week with Houston, San Antonio, Portland, Golden State and fully loaded Oklahoma City on the schedule. Those five teams started Thursday with a 61-28 record, which includes the Thunder’s 5-13 record amassed mostly without stars Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant, who are healthy now.

And the Wolves most certainly are not.

Starters Ricky Rubio (ankle), Nikola Pekovic (foot, wrist) and Kevin

Martin (wrist) are all out for the long haul and point guard Mo Williams (back) and sixth man Shabazz Muhammad (ankle) are listed as questionable for the game against the Rockets on Friday night.

Saunders said Rubio and Martin won’t be back before the new year and Pekovic and backup big man Ronny Turiaf (hip) won’t be able to suit up for at least another 10 days.

The injuries have left Saunders with a roster relying primarily on rookies Andrew Wiggins and Zach LaVine and secondyear men Gorgui Dieng and Anthony Bennett, and the results have been predictably bumpy. The Wolves have won just twice since Rubio went down in the first half of a game against Orlando on Nov. 7.

And they hit rock bottom in an 85-77 loss to the Sixers (1-17), who would have tied the record for

Wolves hit rock bottom with loss to 76ers Minneapolis (ap) — As a minority owner, team president and coach of the Minnesota Timberwolves, Flip Saunders holds as much power in one organization as any person in the NBA. What sounds like the ideal situation for a person who is confident in his abilities to evaluate talent, build a roster and develop young players into difference-making professionals can have its downside, and Saunders hit that in the early morning hours on Thursday after his team allowed the Philadelphia 76ers snap a 17-game losing streak on Minnesota’s home court.

“I went to bed this morning at 5:30,” a heavyeyed Saunders said after practice Thursday.

“From 12 o’clock to 1:30, the owner says what the heck is the president doing getting these guys on the team? From 1:30 to 3, the president says what

Seahawks seek to tap their potential

flipped to December, and that means it’s time for the start of the Bishop Seabury basketball seasons.

Here is a look at the Seahawks’ basketball teams for the upcoming season:

Boys basketball Fifth-year coach Ashley Battles knows the Bishop Seabury boys basketball team has the potential to win a lot of games this year.

The Seahawks, ranked No. 7 in the preseason coaches poll, bring back plenty of talent from last season’s 14-7 team that lost in the sub-state finals.

Sophomore point guard Mikey Wycoff is expected to lead the team, after averaging 18.5 points

the Jayhawks began preparation for tonight’s 6:30 p.m. match against Arkansas-Little Rock in the first round of the NCAA Tournament at Topeka’s Expocentre.

“But I don’t think about it much because I saw what Bri did last year and it just seemed like that was what was expected.”

KU coach Ray Bechard said he and his coaching staff expected to be in good shape for years to come at libero when they received a commitment from Wait, who also considered Kansas State and came from a family of die-hard Wildcats. That commitment came in January of her junior year at GEHS, and Wait said the culture shift that Riley and her crew helped bring to KU volleyball was all she needed to see to pick the Jayhawks.

Riley still remembers the first time she met Wait. After months of jabs from the coaching staff about how she needed to stay on her A-game or else the new girl would take her job, Riley saw Wait play and realized they were right.

“She’s really tough,” Riley said. “I thought I was tough and that’s something I took pride in, but when she came in I was like, ‘Dang, that girl’s not afraid of anything.’”

The funny thing was, Wait actually was intimidated about everything she walked into. She just had that athlete’s knack of finding a way to not let it show.

“I hadn’t been a libero

— Seabury boys basketball coach Ashley Battles per game last season. Seabury will also have junior forward Thomas Uhler and senior guard Bryce Copeland.

Add in freshman guards Zach McDermott and Bonsi King, and the Seahawks will be tough to stop through their guard play.

“This should be the most skilled backcourt we’ve had at Seabury — as well as the deepest backcourt,” Battles said.

“We have five guys that can really handle and pass the ball, and we have five guys that can really shoot the ball.”

Girls basketball Bishop Seabury’s girls basketball team features three stars, but is still working on adding some depth.

The Seahawks will be led by senior forward

before I got here,” Wait said. “And it was such a building year for me. I was just learning so much more about the game that I didn’t know.”

So she did what any good underclassman does and stuck close to the veteran leader who played the position ahead of her.

She mimicked Riley during drills in practice, talked to her about the nuances of the position after practice and fine-tuned her understanding of what it took to play college volleyball by watching other teammates and listening to everything her coaches said. In short, she became Riley’s minime.

The two got along so well during their one year together that it never became a problem. In fact, Riley said Wait’s presence was critical in helping the Jayhawks reach the first Sweet 16 in program history.

“When she first came in, the coaches kind of told me to take her under my wing,” Riley said. “But the first time I saw her, I was like, ‘She doesn’t need me.’ She fit right in.

And she really challenged all of us, which was awesome. We were used to challenging each other, but it was nice to have someone else come in and push us, too.”

That experience, along with the chance to step into more of a leadership role last spring and summer, helped Wait hit the ground running when the 2014 season began.

“She’s been unbelievable,” Bechard said. “Way under-appreciated. We lost an unbelievable character kid and performer (in Riley), but that’s been a seamless transition.”

The best part about that fact is that Bechard truly believes what Wait accomplished this season in filling in for Riley is only the beginning for the 5-foot-8 firecracker whom Bechard called a “full-contact” libero.

“We thought she could be really good,” Bechard said of Wait. “And just from a physical standpoint, Wait’s in a league of her own. We haven’t seen the best of her yet and it’s going to be a lot of fun to see how she continues to develop.”

With seven new faces replacing a group of outgoing seniors who had as much success as any class in KU volleyball history, repeating the feat of hosting opening-round NCAA Tournament matches for the third year in a row seemed like a tall task at the beginning of the season. But thanks to Wait picking up where Riley left off, freshman setter Ainise Havili having an all-Big 12 season and returners Chelsea Albers, Sara McClinton and Tayler Soucie pacing the KU offense, the Jayhawks are right where they want to be.

“When we hit our little rough patch it was kind of like, ‘Whoa, what’s happening,’” Wait said of the team’s early-season struggles.

With a win tonight, the Jayhawks would advance to Saturday’s second round, where they would meet the winner of the match between Creighton and Oregon State (4 p.m. today) with a trip to next week’s Sweet 16 in Ames, Iowa — and a likely meeting with the tournament’s top overall seed, Stanford — on the line.

The Seahawks don’t have much size other than the 6-foot-3 Uhler, but they are working on communication and help defense to limit opposing big men.

Seabury opens the year with three homes games, starting at 7:30 p.m. today against Heritage Christian.

Reilly Malone, junior guard Regan Zaremba and sophomore guard Celia Taylor-Puckett.

Malone nearly averaged a double-double last year with nine points and 10 rebounds per game.

“This team will lean on Reilly Malone’s play inside, and the guard play of Regan and Cilia,” firstyear coach Ted Juneau said.

Seabury is hoping to get contributions from junior forward Tanisha Kaur and sophomore guard Kayleigh Boos, but the Seahawks are working on trying to add depth in case of injuries or foul trouble.

struggled to stop the ball on some plays, allowing the Knights (0-2) to grab a rebound and dribble coastto-coast into the paint.

Even on offense, some voices were kept down despite some players sitting wide open in the paint.

“We are a team that’s going to have to be good at the intangibles,” FSHS coach Chuck Law said.

“One of those things is constant communication because we’re going to be challenged — athletically, size, speed, foot quickness. We’ve got some challenges, and our guys know that. If they don’t take care of small things ... we’re going to be in for some struggles against some of the teams we play against.”

But even with some sub-par plays, Free State walked away with a victory.

The Firebirds (1-0) started slowly with three turnovers on their first four possessions against the Knights’ full-court trap defense. But they found their rhythm midway through the first quarter with a layup by Andrew Keating, a fouland-the-bucket score by Jack Raney and a putback after an offensive rebound by Caleb Holland.

In the second quarter, Free State went on a 19-2 run over five minutes, highlighted by five points and three assists from senior Weston Hack. Sloan Thomsen, Justin Narcomey, Chrision Wilburn, and Raney all scored in the outburst.

“We were horrible out of the gate tonight, the first three or four minutes,” Law said. “But

again there were two guys who have ever been on a varsity court, I think.

It doesn’t matter what the environment is, who you’re playing, the first time you’re on the court as a varsity player and you have that experience, it takes awhile.”

The Firebirds will travel to Mill Valley for a game at 7:15 p.m. next Friday.

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Nebraska hires Oregon State’s Riley Lincoln, Neb. (ap) — Oregon State coach Mike Riley is leaving for Nebraska in a surprise to perhaps everybody except the man who did the hiring.

Athletic director Shawn Eichorst ended his one-man search with the announcement Thursday that the 61-year-old Riley would replace Bo Pelini, who was fired Sunday.

Riley will be introduced at a news conference today in Lincoln.

Riley has spent 14 seasons over two tenures at Oregon State, leading the Beavers to a 93-80 record and wins in six of eight bowl games.

“It is truly an honor to join the University of Nebraska family,” Riley said in a statement. “Though we love Corvallis and Oregon State, this is a oncein-a-lifetime opportunity to coach at one of the nation’s most storied football programs and I can’t wait to get started.”

Riley’s name never appeared on the radar of college football pundits who speculated about Pelini’s successor. Oregon offensive coordinator Scott Frost, a Nebraska native who quarterbacked the Cornhuskers’ 1997 national championship team, and Arkansas coach Bret Bielema were among those believed to be under consideration.

“Definitely out of left field,” Fox Sports analyst Charles Davis said. “I had no idea he would be interested in leaving Oregon State. He has one big run left in him as a head football coach, and Nebraska is a great place to try to have that final run. I’m a big believer that you’ve got everything you need at Nebraska, and if you do the job, rewards can be big-time.”

Rivals.com national recruiting director Mike Farrell tweeted that the hiring is a “home run.”

“I don’t think Huskers

OREGON STATE COACH MIKE RILEY yells at an official during a game against Utah on Oct. 16 in Corvallis, Oregon. fans realize what a wellrespected game coach Riley is and how hard it is to win in Corvallis,” Farrell wrote.

Nebraska, with no natural recruiting base, always has had to look far and wide for its players, and Riley has strong ties in talent-rich California.

He also built a reputation

for doing more with less at Oregon State. He was paid a reported $1.5 million, half of Pelini’s salary at Nebraska this year.

Riley employs a prostyle offense and is highly regarded for his development of quarterbacks. He has coached NFL QBs Matt Moore and Derek Anderson, and his starter

this season, Sean Mannion, is the Pac-12’s alltime leading passer.

Riley also is known for having a nice-guy persona, a contrast to the hottempered Pelini.

“There was one coach who fit all the characteristics that I was seeking to lead our traditionrich football program,” Eichorst said. “Mike Riley has a proven record of success, a sound approach to football and teaching, an understanding of the educational mission of our university and the integrity and values that we cherish at Nebraska. I have no doubt that Mike will assemble a tremendous staff and lead our student-athletes to win Big Ten titles and compete for national championships in the years ahead.”

Pelini was fired last weekend after seven years and a 66-27 overall record that included at least nine wins — and

four losses — every season he completed.

Riley, with just four seasons of at least nine wins, is charged with leading the Huskers back to elite status. Since Tom Osborne retired after winning a third national title in four years in 1997, the Huskers have had three coaches and rank 15th in wins. The program ranked fourth in all-time wins hasn’t won a conference title since 1999.

Riley will take over immediately but will not coach the Huskers in their bowl game. Nebraska assistant Barney Cotton is interim head coach.

Oregon State finished this season 5-7 overall, 2-7 in the Pac-12. The Beavers upset then-No. 7 Arizona State, 35-27, at home for their only win in their last seven games.

Riley met with his Oregon State players on Thursday to inform them of his decision, a stunner by all accounts.

Florida turns to Colorado State’s McElwain Gainesville, Fla. (ap) — Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley wanted a coach with an offensive track record of success.

Foley even agreed to pay extra to get him.

After working though a sticky buyout issue, Jim McElwain left Colorado State on Thursday to become Florida’s next head coach.

The Gators announced the hiring at the same time McElwain started a team meeting with players and assistants.

Reporters heard a loud ovation before McElwain

exited the room in tears.

McElwain agreed to a six-year deal at Florida that will average $3.5 million annually. He made $1.5 million this season at Colorado State.

“Coach McElwain was someone we targeted from the beginning of the search,” Foley said. “The more we worked through the process and did our due diligence, coupled with our meeting and conversations with him and those around him, it was obvious he is the right person to lead the Florida Gator football program.”

McElwain accepted the job after working with Colorado State to reduce his $7.5 million buyout.

Florida will pay the Rams $3 million over six years.

McElwain will pay $2 million over time. The Gators also guaranteed Colorado State $2 million for a game in Gainesville between 2017 and 2020.

The Gators traveled to Colorado with the belief that the buyout could and would be whittled down.

But Colorado State President Tony Frank initially stood firm on $7.5 million, and the financial road-

block prompted Foley to leave Colorado without an agreement Wednesday.

McElwain, his attorney and both schools worked through the night to reach a settlement. McElwain and his family will be introduced at a Saturday news conference in Gainesville.

“We wish him well and are confident we can recruit a coach who is committed to a sustained program of excellence at Colorado State over the long term,” Frank said.

Florida fired Mus-

champ on Nov. 16. He agreed to coach the final two regular-season games and finished with a 28-21 record in four seasons.

McElwain went 22-16 in three seasons at Colorado State. He was Alabama’s offensive coordinator for four years, helping the Tide win two national titles, before moving to Fort Collins, Colorado.

“He has an engaging personality and is someone who can connect with a variety of audiences and he operates with a high level of integ-

rity,” Foley said. “I welcome him and his family to The Gator Nation and I’m looking forward to working alongside him and his staff as they build a championship program both on and off the field.”

Not only has the 52-year-old McElwain been a head coach — something Foley wanted after failing with former defensive coordinators Ron Zook and Muschamp — he also has NFL experience, Southeastern Conference ties and familiarity with the state of Florida.

Dear Annie: Our extended family is relatively small, and we all live nearby. We gather for annual holiday dinners.

Four of the seven women have a very close relationship, with frequent telephone calls, personal contacts and shared vacations. When the family gathers for the holiday dinners, these four women separate themselves from the remaining family and have a raucous time together with their private jokes, etc. They go to another room and make no attempt to include others in their “clique,” so the other three women and the remaining family are left out of this merriment. The men don’t seem to mind. However, we, the three excluded women, feel

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

this behavior is rude.

It makes us feel isolated and offended. After one such holiday, a comment was made to a clique member that they should attempt to socialize outside their group, but their behavior hasn’t changed.

One of the offended females is questioning why she and her spouse should even attend these gatherings.

Do you have any suggestions as to how to handle this situa-

NBC’s ‘Murray’ misfires NBC gives more non-musical celebrities the chance to sing the night after “Peter Pan Live!” The new animated special “How Murray Saved Christmas” (7 p.m.) takes a cheeky and irreverent view of the holidays. Make that every holiday.

Filled with songs and inside jokes, “Murray” takes place in the magical, mythical town called Stinky Cigars. Its off-putting name is intended to keep people away from the hometown of every major holiday’s symbol or mascot.

FromWashington and Lincoln to Cupid, the Groundhog, the Easter Bunny and the New Year’s Baby, they all eat at Murray’s (Jerry Stiller) diner while awaiting their own big day.

“Murray” is filled with a string of musical numbers that have a slapdash quality about them.

They’re also sung by actors, including Stiller and Sean Hayes (Edison Elf), who are better suited to comedy.

“Murray” has a hard time straddling the line between holiday cheer and adult satire. At its best, the special is not a fraction as clever as the average “Simpsons” episode. Dennis Haysbert narrates.

Just what defines a family?

The gripping four-hour miniseries “One Child” (8 p.m., Sundance) plunges viewers into the complexities of 21st-century globalism while posing questions as old as time.

Born in Guangzhou, China, in 1992 and given up for adoption, Mei (Katie Leung) has known only London life and has become a brilliant astronomy student, reared, if somewhat smothered, by parents Katherine (Elizabeth Perkins) and Jim (Donald Sumpter).

Quite out of the blue, a Guangzhou-based journalist contacts Mei. Apparently, the mother she never knew desperately needs her help. Her brother, born years after her adoption, has been unjustly convicted of a murder. Mei’s biological mother wants to meet her real daughter, hoping her British status may tip the scales.

Tonight’s highlights

William Shatner joins the cast of “Haven” (8 p.m.) as it takes a winter break.

Oregon hosts Arizona in the Pac-12 Football Championship game (8 p.m.).

Pop music favorites appear on “A Very Grammy Christmas” (8 p.m., CBS).

Home invasions and holiday surprises on “Grimm” (8 p.m., NBC).

BIRTHDAYS Former TV host Bob Barker is 91. Basketball Hall of Famer Bob Pettit is 82. Singer Connie Francis is 77. Singer Dionne Warwick is 74. Actress Jennifer Connelly is 44. Country singer Hank Williams III is 42.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Friday, Dec. 5: This year you seem to go back and forth a lot with weighing the pros and con of certain situations, decisions and actions. If you are single, you might not believe the choices you have available to you.

If you are attached, you might not always admit to being able to identify with your significant other, but you do.

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’ll say what is on your mind, and others will give you a quick response. Tonight: Chat with a friend.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Don’t use shopping as an outlet, because doing so would end in regret. Tonight: Pay bills, then decide what you can afford.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) After a few difficult days, you might feel as if you finally are back in the swing of things with your daily routine.

Tonight: TGIF! Cancer (June 21-July 22) You have accomplished a lot this week, and you could feel yourself slowing down. Tonight: Indulge yourself.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You might feel pushed by an associate, but understand that a cold shoulder doesn’t explain where you are coming from.

Tonight: Do what you want.

anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or Annie’s Mailbox, P.O. Box 118190 Chicago, IL 60611.

jacquelinebigar.com

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Indulge a loved one who wants to talk, as he or she is consistently there for you. Tonight: A force to behold.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Honor a change of pace. You can intellectualize to your heart’s content yet still have plenty of time for a fun conversation. Tonight: Take off!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Try not to color someone else’s day as somber; projecting your mood onto others can cause a lot of problems. Tonight: Your home is your castle.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might want to see what is happening with some associates before you decide that a project isn’t likely to work out.

Tonight: Remain anchored.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You will want to have a discussion with a co-worker whom you see almost daily. Tonight: Surprises surround you.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Be more forthright with a loved one. Try to be gentle in your choice of words and attitude.

Tonight: Let off some steam.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Touch base with a family member or a loved one to get more information. Tonight: Make it your treat.
