The budget gaps arose after aggressive personal income tax cuts enacted at Brownback’s urging in 2012 and 2013 to stimulate

Lawrence’s city manager on Thursday issued a written apology to the community for how he handled a disputed payment for infrastructure at Rock Chalk Park, and a city commissioner said he wants to consider conducting an audit of the entire project to try to restore the public’s confidence.

City Manager David Corliss took full respon-

LAWRENCE • STATE 6 people injured after railcar explodes in Atchison Topeka — Authorities say six people have been injured after a fuel-filled railcar exploded near the northeast Kansas town of Atchison.

Politics at Kansas University, GOP officials gave credit to their candidates and the state party’s highly organized network of volunteers who registered voters and got them out to the polls.

And Kansas Democrats, while boasting that they did better than expected in a Republican wave election, said they fell victim to an onslaught of negative ads financed by independent groups and the national Republican party.

Joining them were political science professors Burdett Loomis of KU and Bob Beatty of Washburn University, as well as two reporters who covered the races: Dave Helling of the Kansas City Star and Bryan Lowry of the Wichita Eagle.

Senate-race shocker Nearly everyone on the panel agreed on at least one point: Perhaps one of the biggest factors that influenced the election was the candidate who didn’t

“It was my error — and no one else’s — to place it on the City payment claims rather than on the regular agenda,” Corliss said in a letter addressed to the mayor, commissioners and the Lawrence community. “Placement on the regular agenda — with the full supporting background material readily available — was what should have happened. It did not.”

The payment in question is about $1.09 million for legal fees, interest expenses and other “soft costs” that a development group led

by Lawrence businessman Thomas Fritzel is seeking to be reimbursed for as part of the Rock Chalk project.

Commissioners had questioned the costs in November. Corliss prepared a report detailing why many of the costs should be reimbursed but why about $157,000 should not be paid by the city. Corliss took the unusual step of providing the report directly to city commissioners rather than posting it on the city’s agenda, which is widely available to the public and closely watched by the media.

Corliss did post the report on a single page of the city’s website before Tuesday’s meeting, but he acknowledged it would have been difficult for any member of the public to know it was there because the city did not take any steps to notify the public that the report was available. It also was not made clear on the city’s agenda that the Rock Chalk Park matter was up for consideration.

The commission approved the payment on Tuesday. But on Wednesday morning, as questions about how the city handled the payment grew, Corliss directed staff members to not process the check. The issue will be on the commission’s agenda for discussion and a vote next Tuesday.

man as the lone challenger to Roberts, a three-term incumbent who had just emerged from a bruising Republican primary against tea party challenger Milton Wolf.

Before that, Roberts had been considered a lock for re-election, running against two candidates who would likely split the anti-incumbent vote. But in a head-to-head race against Orman, Roberts trailed in the early polls.

Once Taylor dropped out of the race, the national Republican Party took over Roberts’ campaign.

They brought in new staff and millions of dollars worth of advertising by independent groups who immediately cast Orman as a Democrat in disguise and turned the race into a referendum on President Barack Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. Jim Jonas, who managed Orman’s campaign, said Taylor’s withdrawal immediately put the Kansas race into the national spotlight. But he said they had always planned to run in a three-person contest and were not prepared for the sudden change in the nature of the race.

“That was the moment it really nationalized the race,” said Sean Fitzpatrick, who worked as Sen. Pat Roberts’ communications director during the general election. “That was a tipping point in the race, to a large degree.”

Joan Wagnon, chairwoman of the Kansas Democratic Party, said she was surprised by Taylor’s withdrawal, despite the fact that rumors about the possibility had been circulating in both the national and local news media.

“The Kansas Democratic Party recruited a Democrat to run for the United States Senate. We didn’t recruit an independent to run,” Wagnon said.

“Even though I like Greg Orman, we were supportive of Chad Taylor. There was no one more surprised than I when he pulled off.”

Taylor dropped out of the race Sept. 3, barely a month after winning a contested Democratic primary, leaving independent candidate Greg Or-

MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC HEAD INTO THE ENTRANCE OF SPORTS PAVILION LAWRENCE. Lawrence’s city manager on Thursday issued a written apology to the community for how he handled a disputed payment for infrastructure at Rock Chalk Park, and a city commissioner said he wants to consider conducting an audit of the entire project to try to restore the public’s confidence.

“I’m not afraid of an audit,” Schumm said. “I will likely talk with the commission about an audit. I think a lot of this is a case of misunderstanding by the public.

I think it will show we got a very good value for what we agreed to buy.”

Mayor Mike Amyx, the lone opponent of the project on the commission, has previously suggested an audit. In November, Schumm said he did not think an audit was necessary, but this week said he is concerned about the public’s perception of the project.

“Each time something out of the ordinary occurs, it causes people to think the whole thing was run very poorly and we didn’t get a good value for the project,” Schumm said. “I just don’t believe that is the case.”

It isn’t clear whether the city would have any legal ability to review the books and other financial records of Bliss Sports II, the lead private entity that the city partnered with on the project.

“It may be tough to do if we don’t have access to that,” Amyx said. “But I have said it is important to audit and make sure the public funds went to the places that they are supposed to go.”

It also isn’t clear what topic an audit would investigate. Members of the public have raised concerns about the cost and quality of work associated with the project. But members of the public also have been critical of the commission’s decision to issue a no-bid contract for the project’s infrastructure work, critical of the decision to proceed “By removing him (Taylor) from this, it made it really, really difficult for us to counter (the Roberts campaign’s) narrative of turning us into the nominal Democrat,” Jonas said.

Jonas conceded that the Orman campaign had another weakness. Because they were not directly linked to a political party, they didn’t have the kind of grass-roots network of volunteers working on Election Day that Republicans enjoyed. And some on the panel said the GOP’s ability to get Roberts supporters to the polls had a spillover effect on the governor’s race.

“I think Governor (Sam) Brownback came in on the coattails of Senator Roberts,” said KU professor Loomis.

Loomis cited exit polls that showed the majority of those who voted, 53 percent, disapproved of Brownback’s tax policies. Yet Brownback beat Democrat Paul Davis, 5046 percent.

Mark Dugan, who managed Brownback’s campaign, disputed that there was any coattail effect because there were more than 3,000 more votes cast in the governor’s

Center is popular Other commissioners this week said they are pleased with the popularity of the new recreation center, which is located near George Williams Way and Sixth Street in northwest Lawrence. But they said they have seen multiple flaws in the process for approving the project.

“I think we have learned that we are never going to do (this process) again,” said Commissioner Terry Riordan, who began his term on the commission as the city was finalizing the development agreements for the project. “Not in my lifetime we’re not going to do it again. I think we have learned a lot about what to do and what not to do.”

Commissioner Jeremy Farmer, who began his term the same time as Riordan, said the process also has disappointed him.

“Much of that perceived lack of transparency is completely and utterly justified,” Farmer said. “I think the project is a great thing for the community, and I’m glad that we did it, but I wish we did it differently. I wish we would have engaged more people in the community on it.”

Commissioners meet at 6:35 p.m. Tuesday at City Hall.

race than in the Senate race.

Dugan said the governor’s race became a referendum on Brownback’s policies. He said Brownback decided early on to embrace his own record and to lay out an agenda for a second term. In the end, he said, Brownback “won the campaign of ideas.”

James Roberts, who managed Davis’ campaign, disagreed. He said in the final weeks of the campaign Brownback actually stopped talking about his own record while independent groups ran negative ads that had nothing to do with Brownback’s policies.

“The differencemaker was a push away from the center, which is where each of the candidates wanted to be, and that was links to a (quadruple) homicide and links to a strip club,” Roberts said. “Certainly we’re all in politics. We know that’s the name of the game. So that’s the way it goes.”

Group: School district fund balances will be targeted

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — A group that lobbies on behalf of Kansas public school boards told its members Wednesday that legislation will likely be introduced in the Legislature next year aimed at limiting their ability to maintain cash carry-over balances in many of their funds.

Mark Tallman, a lobbyist for the Kansas Association of School Boards, said that’s one of at least

State issuing neutral marriage forms

six bills that have been drafted at the request of the K-12 Student Performance and Efficiency Commission, a group lawmakers formed last year to study and recommend ways schools can be more efficient with their budgets.

But he also said those funds have long been a target for conservative critics of school spending, especially the conservative think tank Kansas Policy Institute, which has argued that school districts have

been amassing large cash balances in recent years and should be required to spend down those reserves as a substitute for state aid.

Dave Trabert, president of Kansas Policy Institute, is also a member of the K-12 efficiency panel. He was appointed by House Speaker Trabert Ray Merrick, RStilwell. The group is scheduled to meet next week and begin finalizing

its recommendations.

In September, KPI proposed a five-year budget plan that calls for, among other things, capturing $147.8 million in school district reserves in the next fiscal year. That plan would also require universities to spend down $37.8 million of their fee fund reserves next year.

Speaking to local school officials during a webinar Wednesday, Tallman agreed that dis-

tricts did build up those reserves during the Great Recession, “because what was happening in those years, state aid payments were being delayed.”

Earlier Wednesday, the school boards association released a position paper arguing that districts need those cash reserves in various funds to meet cash-flow needs throughout the year because much of the revenue they receive throughout the year comes at irregular intervals, especially federal funds and revenue

from local property taxes.

In 2006, according to the position paper, total cash reserves held by school districts equaled about 25 percent of their previous year’s spending.

That grew to more than 30 percent at the height of the recession in fiscal year 2011, and has since fallen slightly to about 29 percent this year.

However, more than half of those reserves are in districts’ capital outlay funds, which are Please see SCHOOLS, page 8A

Kansas City, Mo. — Kansas has begun issuing gender-neutral marriage forms amid ongoing litigation over its same-sex marriage ban.

Copies of the new forms were included in a motion that the Kansas Department of Health and Environment filed Wednesday and amended Thursday, seeking to have former Secretary Robert Moser dismissed from the litigation.

The motion noted that Moser resigned effective Nov. 30, and also said new marriage forms have been created that are suitable for same-sex couples.

Applic a n t s now fill in inforCOURTS mation u n d e r the heading “Party A” or “Party B” and can select whether they want to be referred to as a bride, groom or spouse.

KDHE spokeswoman Sara Belfry said the forms were changed last month after the U.S. Supreme Court denied Kansas’ request to prevent gay and lesbian couples from marrying while the state fights a lawsuit. Gay couples have married in some but not all of the state’s 105 counties, and as of Thursday morning, the state had issued 23 marriage certificates to same-sex couples, Belfry said.

The American Civil Liberties Union initially sued on behalf of two lesbian couples who were denied marriage licenses in Douglas County in northeast Kansas and Sedgwick County, home to Wichita in south-central Kansas. The ACLU later amended the suit to include claims that Kansas is refusing to recognize same-sex marriages for spousal health insurance benefits, state tax filing purposes and driver’s license name changes.

Since the initial lawsuit was filed, Douglas and Sedgwick counties have started issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples, and clerks in those counties sought Wednesday to be dismissed from the lawsuit. No action has been taken on the clerks’ or Mosher’s dismissal requests.

A large nightclub near the Kansas University campus is in discussions with state regulators to settle an alleged violation of Kansas liquor law.

The Cave, the nightclub that is located inside The Oread hotel at 11th and Indiana streets, has reached a preliminary settlement with the state’s Alcoholic Beverage Control division, a spokeswoman for the agency said. The settlement is related to allegations that the nightclub in March was illegally advertising free alcohol on Twitter and other social media accounts.

A spokeswoman for the ABC said details of the preliminary settlement can’t be released until they are finalized. She said the settlement is expected to be finalized in the next 30 days.

KCC, natural gas companies collaborating on replacing old pipes cost-effectively Topeka (ap) — The Kansas Corporation Commission and natural gas companies are working to find a way to replace aging gas pipes in a less-expensive way.

Kansas natural gas companies currently add a fee, called the gas service reliability surcharge, to customers’ bills to cover projects required by safety regulations or related public works projects.

But the Legislature-approved charge doesn’t cover preventative work like replacing old cast iron and steel pipes before they break. Officials say that kind of work is cheaper and causes less disruption than an emergency pipe repair.

The commission wants to develop a process that would allow it to preapprove spending to replace old pipes over

When you can be proactive, it will be a much more reasonable cost than if you have to react to it.”

— Leo Haynos, KCC’s chief of energy operations and pipeline safety

time before they become a hazard, commissioner Pat Apple said. It would allow the commission to steer investment toward high-priority pipes, such as those than run underneath more populated areas.

Apple told The Topeka Capital-Journal that amending the GSRS to pay for pipe-replacement work requires legislative approval. Some commissioners think they can set up a separate process without

sending it to the Legislature.

Kansas Gas Service, which serves the Topeka area, already has plans to replace its cast iron pipes over the next five years and its bare steel service lines over the next 10 years.

“When you can be proactive, it will be a much more reasonable cost than if you have to react to it,” said Leo Haynos, KCC’s chief of energy operations and pipeline safety.

He said older pipes are at a higher risk of failure, but companies check them more frequently for leaks and conduct repairs or replacements if needed. People

shouldn’t worry that the pipes pose an immediate threat to them, though they should call for help if they smell a gas leak, he said.

“It’s a way of addressing it before it becomes an unsafe system,” Haynos said.

Yoga session to bring awareness of flu vaccinations, help people get access Staff Reports

With flu activity increasing and family and friends gathering for the holidays, the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department urges residents to receive an annual flu vaccination to protect themselves and their families.

National Influenza Vaccination Week, Dec. 7-13, serves as a reminder that the community has a responsibility to prevent the spread of influenza, or the flu, and that it’s not too late to get a vaccination.

“Getting a vaccination is still the best way to prevent the flu,” said Clinic Supervisor Kathy Colson of the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department. “Flu season is here and before it

The Sheridan family is hosting a yoga session from 6 to 7 p.m. Dec. 15 at the Community Health Facility, 200 Maine St., in honor of Rachael Sheridan.

The family is asking for a $10 donation, and all of the money will be donated to the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department to help low-income Douglas County residents pay for flu vaccinations.

The class is for anyone, including residents who don’t have yoga experience. No registration is required. At the Health Department, flu shots cost $25 for children ages 6 months to 35 months and $30 for those 3 years and older.

Overcriminalization a national plague

EDITORIALS

‘First steps’ The first round of cuts to the current year’s budget are just a signal of the rocky financial road that lies ahead for Kansas.

T

here’s no way to cut state spending by $279 million over the next six months without making some waves.

On Tuesday, Gov. Sam Brownback announced his plans to address this year’s revenue shortfall. All of the cuts will be painful; some are particularly controversial — even among members of his own party.

Although Brownback claims he didn’t know before November’s election that the state would experience revenue shortfalls this year, that reality has hit both the governor and the state full force. The cuts announced Tuesday are “first steps,” he said, “a down payment in resolving the immediate budget issue.”

These “first steps” are likely to pale by comparison with what will be needed to address revenue shortfalls in the next fiscal year if state officials refuse to consider tax changes to increase state revenue.

The Legislative Research Department initially estimated a shortfall of about $436 million next year, but now says that figure will be closer to $600 million because reductions taken in the first round of cuts can be made only once.

The cuts announced Tuesday include 4 percent budget cuts to numerous state agencies. Of even greater concern, however, may be the governor’s plan to take another $100 million from state highway funds and reduce the state’s payment to the struggling KPERS pension plan by $40.7 million.

The state has borrowed from the Kansas Department of Transportation so many times that many lawmakers jokingly refer to the department as “the bank of KDOT.” Brownback officials insist that current highway projects won’t be affected by the $100 million withdrawal, but the state simply can’t continue to siphon money away from KDOT without hampering the department’s long-term mission. Now that KDOT has more control over the Kansas Turnpike Authority, questions also may be raised about how the withdrawals may affect what had been the historically financially solid toll road.

The plan to shortchange the KPERS system drew immediate negative reaction from some Republican officials who normally support Brownback. State Treasurer Ron Estes, a Republican, noted in a press release that KPERS assets already are $7.35 billion short of the amount needed to cover commitments to current state and K-12 school employees and retirees. Sen. Jeff King, R-Independence, blasted the governor’s decision, saying that the state had worked hard to shore up the state retirement system “and by raiding the KPERS fund today, Gov. Brownback’s threatening to undo all the hard-fought work we’ve done…”

And this is only the beginning. All of these moves are simply short-term fixes, not a long-term solution to the state’s current revenue-spending imbalance. The first round of cuts didn’t hit K-12 school districts, but on Wednesday, the governor already was indicating that his office is looking at ways to change how aid is distributed to those schools — presumably as a way to reduce state costs.

Everything is on the table, Brownback has said. It will be interesting to see what’s left in the state budget by the time the next legislative session ends. All the more reason for the governor to acknowledge some misjudgments and modify his tax plans. That would be a meaningful “first step.”

Washington — By history’s frequently brutal dialectic, the good that we call progress often comes spasmodically, in lurches propelled by tragedies caused by callousness, folly or ignorance. With the grand jury’s as yet inexplicable and probably inexcusable refusal to find criminal culpability in Eric Garner’s death on a Staten Island sidewalk, the nation might have experienced sufficient affronts to its sense of decency. It might, at long last, be ready to stare into the abyss of its criminal justice system.

It will stare back, balefully. Furthermore, the radiating ripples from the nation’s overdue reconsideration of present practices may reach beyond matters of crime and punishment, to basic truths about governance.

Garner died at the dangerous intersection of something wise, known as “broken windows” policing, and something worse than foolish: decades of overcriminalization. The policing applies the wisdom that when signs of disorder, such as broken windows, proliferate and persist, there is a general diminution of restraint and good comportment. So, because minor infractions are, cumulatively, not minor, police should not be lackadaisical about offenses such as jumping over subway turnstiles.

Overcriminalization has become a national plague.

And when more and more behaviors are criminalized, there are more and more occasions for police, who em-

He lived and died in a country with 5 percent of the world’s population, but 25 percent of its prisoners.

In 2012, one of every 108 adults was behind bars, many in federal prisons containing about 40 percent more inmates than they were designed to hold.” body the state’s monopoly on legitimate violence, and who fully participate in humanity’s flaws, to make mistakes.

Harvey Silverglate, a civil liberties attorney, titled his 2009 book “Three Felonies a Day” to indicate how easily we can fall afoul of America’s metastasizing body of criminal laws. Professor Douglas Husak of Rutgers University says that approximately 70 percent of American adults have, usually unwittingly, committed a crime for which they could be imprisoned. In his 2008 book, “Overcriminalization: The Limits of the Criminal Law,” Husak says that more than half of the 3,000 federal crimes — itself a dismaying

number — are found not in the Federal Criminal Code but in numerous other statutes. And, by one estimate, at least 300,000 federal regulations can be enforced by agencies wielding criminal punishments. Citing Husak, professor Stephen L. Carter of the Yale Law School, like a hammer driving a nail head flush to a board, forcefully underscores the moral of this story: Society needs laws; therefore it needs law enforcement. But “overcriminalization matters” because “making an offense criminal also means that the police will go armed to enforce it.” The job of the police “is to carry out the legislative will.” But today’s political system takes “bizarre delight in creating new crimes” for enforcement. And “every act of enforcement includes the possibility of violence.”

Carter continues: “It’s unlikely that the New York Legislature, in creating the crime of selling untaxed cigarettes, imagined that anyone would die for violating it. But a wise legislator would give the matter some thought before creating a crime. Officials who fail to take into account the obvious fact that the laws they’re so eager to pass will be enforced at the point of a gun cannot fairly be described as public servants.”

Garner lived, in part, by illegally selling single cigarettes untaxed by New York jurisdictions. He lived in a progressive state and city that, being ravenous for revenues and determined

to save smokers from themselves, have raised to $5.85 the combined taxes on a pack of cigarettes. To the surprise of no sentient being, this has created a black market in cigarettes that are bought in states that tax them much less. Garner died in a state that has a Cigarette Strike Force.

He lived and died in a country with 5 percent of the world’s population, but 25 percent of its prisoners. In 2012, one of every 108 adults was behind bars, many in federal prisons containing about 40 percent more inmates than they were designed to hold.

Most of today’s 2.2 million prisoners will be coming back to their neighborhoods and few of them will have been improved by the experience of incarceration. This will be true even if they did not experience the often deranging use of prolonged solitary confinement, which violates the Eighth Amendment’s ban on “cruel and unusual punishments” and is, to put things plainly, torture.

The scandal of mass incarceration is partly produced by the frivolity of the political class, which uses the multiplication of criminal offenses as a form of moral exhibitionism. This, like Eric Garner’s death, is a pebble in the mountain of evidence that American government is increasingly characterized by an ugly and sometimes lethal irresponsibility.

PUBLIC FORUM

Misleading column To the editor: In response to Gina Maier-Hummel’s “Your Turn” column on Dec. 3, I would like to offer a different perspective on Gov. Brownback’s efforts to strengthen the delivery of mental health services in Kansas. I find the claims which Maier-Hummel makes about the governor’s mental health initiative to be somewhat misleading.

Aspects of the governor’s initiative may be valuable for helping with the state’s mental health crisis, but we must not forget that a huge portion of the funds for the initiative were taken from the already established monies set aside for mental health care in Kansas. The state’s public mental health system has suffered additional losses as well. There was a $9.4 million loss resulting from the 10 percent Medicaid cut from January through June of 2010, a $3.1 million loss in MediKan funding in FY 2010 (a 45 percent reduction), and a $560,000 loss in community Support Medication Program funding (a 53 percent reduction).

According to a recent report from the Kansas Health Institute, more than 21.6 percent of Kansas adults between the ages of 18 and 64 said they experienced mental illness in the past year; less than half of those with mental illness have reported receiving treatment and all but the five most-populated counties in the state do not have enough mental health providers.

Ms. Maier-Hummel’s letter is misleading, especially to those of us who struggle day to day with challenges

Langley, Va. — In an unprecedented news conference from CIA headquarters, agency Director John Brennan admitted that some officers had engaged in “abhorrent” conduct in their interrogations of terrorism suspects, but he insisted that the secret program had provided “useful intelligence.”

Whether that intelligence could have been obtained without torture was “unknowable,” he said.

No CIA director has ever given a televised address at agency headquarters. Brennan did so partially to rebut a Senate Intelligence Committee report on the CIA’s George W. Bush-era

interrogation program.

He called the report “flawed.”

Even as he spoke, the report’s principal architect, Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., shot back critiques on her Twitter account.

The exchanges highlighted the public debate that began Tuesday when the committee released a scathing report on the CIA’s use of torture after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

Feinstein and her colleagues among the Democratic majority on the committee, along with some Republicans, including Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., have denounced the agency’s

actions as torture. The report’s extensive documentation aims to prove that the tactics produced no intelligence that could not have been obtained without mistreating prisoners.

By contrast, former Vice President Dick Cheney and top CIA officials from the Bush administration, which allowed what the CIA called “enhanced interrogation techniques,” insisted that the tactics saved thousands of lives.

Brennan sought to strike a middle position, reflecting the stance of President Barack Obama, who banned coercive interrogation tactics but has also praised the CIA as protecting the country.

Three-quarters of the current year’s budget deficit would be added to next year’s gap instead of being eliminated.

“You’re rolling it forward into the next year,” said Sen. Ty Masterson, an Andover Republican and chairman of his chamber’s budget-writing Ways and Means Committee.

Brownback spokeswoman Eileen Hawley didn’t immediately return telephone and email messages Thursday evening seeking comment.

programs. It avoids cuts in aid to public schools, spending on state universities or the Medicaid program providing health coverage for the needy and disabled. But it does cut 4 percent in major agencies’ remaining administration spending.

The governor said Wednesday he’s still working on proposals for the next fiscal years.

Lawmakers convene their next annual session Jan. 12.

“All options are on the table,” Brownback said.

Brownback contends the tax cuts are boosting the economy, creating jobs that will eventually lead to new revenue for the state’s coffers.

Rep. Ron Ryckman Jr., an Olathe Republican serving on the House Ap-

propriations Committee, said resolving problems with the current budget is tricky because “we don’t have as much time” with the fiscal year ending June 30.

“Our goal is to have a longer-term fix,” he said.

Brownback’s proposals for the current budget call for diverting nearly $207 million into the state’s main bank account from other accounts. The diverted dollars include highway funds and lawsuit settlement funds from tobacco companies normally dedicated to children’s programs.

“It means he’s shifting the problem to the next fiscal year,” said Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, a Topeka Democrat. “It doesn’t solve the problem.”

Eudora winning despite adversity

By Bobby Nightengale

HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL

Strong finish

bnightengale@ljworld.com

Eudora High junior Austin Downing has seen the Tweets and heard all of the talk.

He knows people are expecting the Cardinals to struggle without sophomore All-State combo guard Mitchell Ballock, who is out with a stress fracture in his left foot. Ballock hopes to return by their first game in January.

But the Cardinals have done their best to prove everybody We wrong. They have opened don’t rethe year with ally look a 2-1 record at wins heading into and losses. their final of the We’re just game Paola Inviworried tational at about get- 6:30 tonight against Truting betman (Mo.). ter.”

Downing has carried — Eudora coach Eudora on offense, avKyle Deterding eraging 27.3 points per game. Senior forward Zhade Wray is second on the team with nearly six points each night.

“I just try to do what I can to help,” Downing said.

“I mean everybody else has pitched in a lot too, playing defense, rebounding, getting me the ball, setting screens for me. So it’s not just like I’m scoring by myself, they’re helping me a lot. But yeah, we’re doing pretty good as a team right now.”

The Cardinals won a state championship at Class 4A-II last year, but were bumped up to 4A-I this year. They’ve only practiced five times without Ballock, and are still figuring out roles for the rest of the varsity rotation, which includes Trey Byrne, Grant Elston, Griffin Katzenmeier, Laken Straub and Mason Fawcett, among others.

“We don’t really look at wins and losses. We’re just worried about getting better,” EHS coach Kyle Deterding said. “Wins and losses take care of themselves. By the time we get to February, then they’ll be a little more important, but right now we’re working day to day.”

Ballock, a 6-foot-4 guard who has four scholarship offers including one from Kansas University, started feeling pain last week and it continued to worsen until he couldn’t play through it any more at a scrimmage on Saturday. He had X-rays on Monday and an MRI on Tuesday, and is now in a walking boot.

“It’s really tough sitting there knowing when you probably could make an impact in a game or something,” said Ballock, who averaged 20 points and eight rebounds per game last year. “Knowing that you can’t do it until after Christmas or however long I’m out for, it’s extremely tough not being able to do anything about it.”

But even without one of their stars, the Cardinals are confident that they can win before he returns to the court, and especially once he comes back.

“Me and Mitch, we know that we’re going to have to try to lead this team,” Downing said. “But there’s some other people who have the ability to lead and help us out a lot.”

Lions rip Wyandotte in Blue Valley Shootout

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Stilwell — After another strong start, Lawrence High’s boys basketball team took a 17-point lead over Wyandotte into halftime on Thursday afternoon.

Nobody would have blamed the Lions if they were a little sluggish to open the second half. They started fast and coasted to a win in their season opener last week.

But this time, the Lions

came out of the locker room with more fire in the second half and never slowed down in an eventual 75-44 rout in the first round of the Blue Valley Shootout.

The Lions (2-0) opened the third quarter with a 20-2 run, grabbing three steals on Wyandotte’s first four possessions. Senior guard John Barbee highlighted the run with six points and two steals, while junior Price Morgan added two layups, senior Ben Rajewski drilled a three and

junior Fred Brou had a turnaround jumper.

On defense, they packed the paint with strong help defense and forced the Bulldogs (1-1) to settle for long jump shots.

“We were trying to accomplish some things defensively, and they bought in,” LHS coach Mike Lewis said.

“They played hard. Whether we’re up 20 or 30, we ignore the scoreboard and play hard.

When we’re playing smart and we’re playing together,

then we’re pretty dangerous.”

At the end of the third quarter, the Lions’ bench picked up some of the offensive momentum with a three from senior Kyle Hoffman and a dunk by the 6-foot-5 Brou, while the air-tight defense continued to bother Wyandotte, which shot 30 percent (13-for-44) throughout the game.

Jayhawks get lift at free-throw line

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo

KANSAS’ BRANNEN GREENE, RIGHT, celebrates with teammates Devonté Graham, center, and Jamari Traylor during the Jayhawks’ victory over Georgetown on Wednesday night in Washington. Greene was 4-for-4 from the free-throw line against the Hoyas.

Free throws have proven mighty important in Kansas University’s last three basketball victories — over Georgetown Florida and Michigan State.

The (7-1) Jayhawks knocked down 25 of 32 compared to Georgetown’s 19 of 26 in Wednesday’s 75-70 victory in Verizon Center in Washington, D.C. That followed a 71-65 home win over Florida in which the Jayhawks made 27 of 32 to Florida’s seven of 10.

In the game before that, KU made 18 of 27 in a 61-56 Orlando Classic title game win over Michigan State.

The Spartans cashed 12 of 17.

Overall, KU has made 73.1 percent on the season (171 of

234) to opponents’ 63.4 percent (97 of 153).

“I have never coached free throws. I don’t know who does,” said KU coach Bill Self, who has said there’s just not enough time in practice to put in much work on freebies.

“Usually the more you talk about it, the worse you shoot them,” he added.

“We’ve tried to spend more time on the free-throw line of late. If we had made 33 more free throws against Kentucky we could have won that game, too,” he cracked of a 72-40 loss to the Wildcats.

“We’ve got to do a better job of getting to the line and making ’em. We’ve done a good job over the last three games.”

Shepherd: Latest honor special for KU program

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Even in moments specifically designed to put him in the spotlight, Kansas University football player JaCorey Shepherd still would rather focus on someone else.

Wednesday night in Tampa, Florida, Shepherd received this year’s Lee Roy Selmon Community Spirit Award, given annually to athletes who go above the call of a student, amateur or professional athlete by demonstrating a deep care for others and a connection

to the moral growth of their community.

Shepherd was selected from a group of finalists from across the country, with his well-known connection with the Douglas County Big Brothers, Big Sisters chapter and consistent outreach efforts in

Lawrence during the past four years highlighting his candidacy.

Shepherd’s desire to find ways to help others started at an early age and was a product of growing up in an environment where those Please see SHEPHERD, page 3C Shepherd

Madison, Wis. (ap) — As expected, Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez is returning to the sideline.

Again.

Alvarez confirmed Thursday that he will coach UW (10-3) when it faces Auburn (8-4) in the Outback Bowl on Jan. 1 in Tampa, Fla. Alvarez will fill in for Gary Andersen, who on Wednesday informed UW officials and the team he is leaving to take over the Oregon State program.

“A number of the seniors met with me on Wednesday after our team meeting and asked if I would consider coaching the team,” Alvarez said Thursday in a UW release. “I told them I would have to sleep on it.

“I feel this gives our assistants an opportunity to concentrate on getting the team ready for a very good opponent in Auburn.”

the Cleveland Cavaliers’ game at Oklahoma City because of a sore left knee.

Cleveland coach David Blatt announced the decision Thursday night during his pregame media session. He said James started to have issues following Cleveland’s victory over Toronto on Tuesday night.

“After the last game, he felt some soreness in the back of his knee,” Blatt said. “He got up this morning and didn’t feel particularly good, so we decided to hold him out.”

James has averaged 24.9 points, 9.0 assists and 4.9 rebounds during Cleveland’s eightgame winning streak, helping the Cavaliers climb to the top of the Central Division.

James has played in all 20 of Cleveland’s previous games this season. Blatt said it’s a day-to-day situation, and there are no plans for an MRI.

also obtained minor league pitchers Alex Wilson and Gabe Speier.

“We’re thrilled to be adding an All-Star to our team in Yoenis Cespedes,” said Tigers general manager Dave Dombrowski said in a released statement. “Cespedes is a dynamic all-around player who hits for power, provides solid run production and will play left field.

Alex Wilson is a solid performer who has pitched at the major league level and will compete for a job in our bullpen this spring. Gabe Speier is a young player that our scouts like.”

Meanwhile, in a later deal, the Tigers acquired starting pitcher Alfredo Simon from the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for infielder Eugenio Suarez and pitching prospect Jonathan Crawford.

The acquisition of Cespedes, 26, beefs up a Tigers outfield that, on paper, appeared thin with J.D. Martinez, Rajai Davis and Anthony Gose penciled in.

To make room on the roster for Cespedes and Wilson, the Tigers designated right-handed pitcher Melvin Mercedes for assignment.

Cespedes, 29, will make $10.5 million in 2015.

just about maintaining that energy we had in the first half of the first game all the way throughout this game,” Bonner said. “Honestly, I actually thought we had a better first half this game.”

The complete effort by the Lions, which included a running clock in the fourth quarter, was just a sign of how much the topranked team in Class 6A keeps improving.

“Our top guys played real well and our bench played real well,” Lewis said. “The 3:15 (start time), you’re sometimes off a little bit. It’s quiet.

There’s not much going on, so you have to bring your own energy.

Our guys stepped up and had a lot of energy, and played well as a team.”

The Lions will face Topeka Highland Park in the semifinals for a rematch of last year’s championship game at 6:45 tonight.

sity and football program he gave so much of his life to during the past four years.

Although the senior all-Big 12 cornerback who started his KU career as a wide receiver will be moving on next season, he said he was encouraged about his future connection to the program when he heard about the recent hire of David Beaty as KU’s new head coach.

Beaty was Shepherd’s wide receivers coach during his freshman season in 2011, and Shepherd said he was thrilled to have an existing relationship with KU’s new coach.

“That was the exact feeling I had when I heard about the hire because I want to be able to come back and I want to stay involved with the university,” Shepherd said. “With him on board I know we’ll all be welcomed back with open arms and I’m glad we’ve got a guy like that.”

Asked what he liked most about the Beaty hire, Shepherd, who said he wished he had more eligibility so he could play for him, recalled Beaty’s passion as one of his best traits.

“I know what he brings to the table — his love for the game, his love for the university and his desire to make players better and build relationships with the guys and coaches that he’s around,” Shepherd said. “I think that’s what the program needs. Having him and coach (Clint) Bowen, who are both that way, I think the sky’s the limit for the team.”

Royals, Morales agree on two-year contract San Diego (ap) — The Kansas City Royals and veteran slugger Kendrys Morales agreed to a $17 million, two-year contract, a person familiar with the negotiations told the Associated Press on Thursday.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal was subject to Morales passing a physical. Morales is expected to take over at designated hitter for Billy Butler, who left as a free agent and agreed to a $30 million, three-year deal with Oakland.

Morales will get $6.5 million next year and $9 million in 2016. The deal includes an $11 million mutual option for 2017 with a $1.5 million buyout. Morales can make an additional $750,000 in performance bonuses

in each of the first two seasons based on plate appearances: $50,000 for 375 and $100,000 apiece for 400 and each additional 25 until 550.

The agreement highlighted a busy day at baseball’s winter meetings for the Royals, who also acquired right-hander Jandel Gustave in a deal with the Red Sox. Boston selected Gustave off Houston’s Triple-A roster in the Rule 5 draft.

The Royals are still searching for a starting pitcher to replace James Shields, who is expected to sign elsewhere in free agency. Among the names that had been linked to the Royals, Ervin Santana, Justin Masterson and Brandon McCarthy had already agreed to join other teams.

The Royals are also in the market for a right fielder after losing Nori Aoki to free agency, and have had talks with Melky Cabrera, who spent time in Kansas City during the 2011 season.

Kansas City could also reunite with Aoki, who played well down the stretch, or go after lesspricy options such as Colby Rasmus. The Royals have few internal options to fill the void, but in a pinch could use Jarrod Dyson as an everyday center fielder and move Lorenzo Cain to right.

As for Morales, the Royals are taking a gamble that last season was an aberration. The 31-yearold designated hitter and first baseman hit just .218 with eight homers and 42 RBIs in 98 games with the Twins and Mariners.

“You can’t shoot 200 free throws at practice,” Self said. “You do it filling in at practice. Guys have to emphasize that on their own.” l Prime recruiting area: Wednesday’s game took place in Washington, D.C., which KU coach Self says is a prime recruiting area for college basketball.

“I did my thesis in college for my masters’ on geography of basketball recruiting. It played out in the late 80s that D.C. produced more Div. I players per capita than any place in America by a landslide. Baltimore was close,” Self said Wednesday on his pre-game radio interview. “There may not be as many players as L.A. or Chicago, but more (per capita) because the area is not as big.

“There’s as good high school ball here (in D.C.) as they have anywhere,” Self added. “We haven’t had that many players ... we had Josh (Selby) from Baltimore and of course T. Rob (Thomas Robinson, D.C.). I can’t remember anybody (else) going back to Milt Newton (being from D.C.). We haven’t recruited east in

this area near as much, but there definitely are some quality guys.”

Former KU guard Mark Turgeon has fertile recruiting ground as coach as Maryland, now of the Big Ten. “My gosh, Mark has D.C., the entire ACC area, the entire eastern seaboard, two of the biggest recruiting areas here (Baltimore, D.C.) and now can go pluck guys out of Big Ten country.

I’d say Turg has a good recruiting base,” Self gushed. l Graham OK: KU freshman Devonté Graham, who sprained an ankle with 10 minutes left against Georgetown, is listed day-to-day. He had the ankle re-taped against the Hoyas and could have re-entered the game. The Jayhawks took the day off Thursday, giving Graham time for treatment and to rest the ankle. l Rugged foe next: No. 10-ranked KU (7-1), will next meet No. 13 Utah (71), at 2:15 p.m., Saturday, in Sprint Center in Kansas City, Missouri. This will be the first time a Utah team ranked in the top 15 plays an opponent in the top 10 since the 1998 NCAA title game against Kentucky.

Sophomore Brannen Greene went four of four from the line against the Hoyas.

“We shoot 100, 200 shots a day from the freethrow line,” Greene said of work on the side in practice or players going in the practice gym on their own. “Everybody is making big-time improvements at the line.

When you shoot so many and I’m a shooter, I expect to make them,” added Greene, who is 9-of-9 for 100 percent.

Freshman Cliff Alexander went 8-for-8 against Florida and iced three of four against Georgetown.

He made two free throws with a minute left to give KU a 70-67 lead in D.C. “It’s what I’ve been working on in practice, getting my free throws better,” the 6-8 Alexander said. “I was an average free-throw shooter in high school. I think I’ve gotten way better,” the Chicago native added.

Frank Mason III has made 25 of 29 for 86.2 percent; Svi Mykhailiuk five of six for 83.3 percent; Perry Ellis 42 of 55 for 76.4 percent; Devonté Graham 21 of 29 for 72.4; Alexander 33 of 47 for

ST. LOUIS QUARTERBACK SHAUN HILL (14) THROWS A PASS AS HE IS TACKLED by Arizona outside linebacker Alex Okafor (57) Thursday in St. Louis.

Cardinals kick Rams in field goal battle St. Louis (ap) — Drew Stanton hopped off the field to the bench and was carted off with a right knee injury.

For the second straight meeting against the St. Louis Rams, the Arizona Cardinals lost a quarterback.

They won both times, thanks to strong defense.

Chandler Catanzaro kicked four field goals and the Cardinals overcame the loss of Stanton with their stifling defense, moving closer to clinching a playoff spot with a 12-6 victory over the St. Louis Rams.

Larry Foote had a sack and fumble recovery.

The Rams (6-8) were held to Greg Zuerlein’s two short field goals and had five three-and-out series in the third quarter.

Catanzaro’s 23-yard field goal early in the second quarter ended nine quarters of shutout defense

by St. Louis, which beat Washington and Oakland by a combined 76-0 the previous two weeks.

The Rams were eliminated from playoff contention.

Ryan Lindley was ineffective in his first appearance since 2012 in relief of Stanton, who injured his right knee on a sack

in the third quarter. The Cardinals lost Carson Palmer to a season-ending knee injury during their 31-14 home victory over St. Louis last month.

The Cardinals (11-3) entered tied for the top overall record in the NFC and will clinch a playoff spot if Sunday’s Dallas-Philadelphia game doesn’t end in a tie, or a Detroit loss combined with a Green Bay victory.

Rams rookie Tre Mason’s fumble gave the Cardinals a short field that set up Catanzaro’s first field goal. Frostee Rucker punched the ball free and Foote recovered at the St. Louis 27.

It was the first score given up by the Rams since Nov. 23, when San Diego scored the winning touchdown with just over 8 minutes left in a 27-24 victory.

Michael Floyd’s 49yard reception set up Catanzaro’s 44-yard field goal that put the Cardinals up 6-3 midway through the second. Catanzaro made kicks of 51 yards and 46 yards in the second half Both teams had key defenders active coming off ankle woes. Arizona’s Antonio Cromartie and St. Louis’ Chris Long

Mariota wins three major awards leading up to Heisman Lake Buena Vista, Fla. (ap) — Marcus Mariota put up nearly flawless numbers this season in leading Oregon to a spot in the first College Football Playoff. At the College Football Awards Show on Thursday night, he went a perfect 3 for 3.

Mariota opened the night by winning the Davey O’Brien National Quarterback Award, and closed it by claiming the Maxwell Award, given to the college player of the year. In a separate announcement he also was selected the Walter Camp National Player of the Year.

“It’s surreal. It’s surreal. It really all is,” Mariota said. “Growing up as a kid you always kind of see these award shows.

To say that I’m a part of really this fraternity ... it’s really just a blessing.”

Mariota said this week he has never been completely comfortable with the spotlight brought on by winning awards.

Thursday there was no way he could escape it.

Already considered the front-runner to win the Heisman Trophy on Saturday night, he now hopes to become the first player to win the Maxwell Award and Heisman in the same season since Auburn quarterback Cam

Newton in 2010. Some recent history is on Mariota’s side. Four straight winners of the Davey O’Brien award have gone on to win the Heisman.

“That’s the first time I’ve heard of (that trend),” he said. “I don’t know how to explain it.

It’s pretty cool and we’ll see what happens.”

Both of the other Heisman finalists who will join Mariota in New York also left with hardware Thursday night.

Amari Cooper became the first Alabama player to win the Biletnikoff Award as the nation’s outstanding receiver. Melvin Gordon became the third Wisconsin player to win the Doak Walker Award given to the top running back in the country.

Gordon said Wednesday he will skip his senior season to enter the NFL draft. He said he thinks he already has accomplished what he set out to do this year.

“I think I did,” Gordon said. “Part of the reason I came back was to prove I was a better player.

I felt I did that. There were some things I didn’t achieve. But I put us in a position for those goals.

But I did come back to be a better player and show I was one of the best running backs in the nation.”

Other award winners Thursday were: Arizona linebacker Scooby Wright (Bednarik Award for defensive player of the year), Maryland’s Brad Craddock (Lou Groza Award for nation’s outstanding kicker), Utah’s Tom Hackett (Ray Guy Award for punter of the year), Iowa offensive tackle Brandon Scherff (Outland Trophy for outstanding interior lineman), and Louisville’s Gerod Holliman (Jim Thorpe Award for nation’s best defensive back).

Three other awards were announced prior to the live ceremony.

The Rimington Trophy for the nation’s outstanding center went to Auburn’s Reese Dismukes. Florida State’s Nick O’Leary was honored with the John Mackey Award, given to the nation’s top tight end, and Duke’s David Helton won the William V. Campbell Trophy for academic success, football performance and community service.

TCU coach Gary Patterson was selected the Home Depot Coach of the Year after guiding the Horned Frogs from a 4-8 mark in 2013 to 11-1 this season, falling just short of a spot in the playoff.

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Lover’s illness takes spice out of relationship Dear Annie: I’ve been living with “Marcus” for two years, and we’ve known each other for twice that long. After we moved in together, Marcus became seriously ill.

We’ve been through five surgeries, and there may be more.

The most serious illness seems to be under control, but now other debilitating health issues are popping up on the horizon, and I just don’t know what to do.

We don’t fight, and we have our good moments. I still am attracted to him, but there is absolutely no sex unless I initiate it. We sometimes talk about it, and he says, “You didn’t sign up for this.

Why are you still here?”

Marcus spoke to his doctor about the lack of desire, some of which may be attributed to painkillers, but they

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

anniesmailbox@comcast.net

have no resolution. I’ve lost weight, take good care of myself and dress nicely — still nothing.

I feel shallow for missing sex so much, but I honestly can’t imagine living the rest of my life without it. I suggested counseling, with or without me, but Marcus refused. When he dismisses suggestions to work on us, I end up feeling more like a nurse than a lover. What can I do? — Faith Dear Faith: Marcus

‘Polo’ recalls lost era of mini-series The more television changes, the more it remains the same — and the more it returns to its roots. Just last week, NBC aired its second annual musical, “Peter Pan Live!”

No TV genre appeared more dead and buried than the miniseries. For some time, the Emmys and Golden Globes seemed to have trouble finding much competition in a category dominated by a few efforts on HBO and PBS. But the miniseries appears to be clawing its way back from the crypt. Just last Sunday, Lifetime aired “The Red Tent,” repeating tonight (7 p.m. and 9 p.m.). Like many old miniseries, “Tent” is based on a best-selling book (by Anita Diamant) with more than its share of sex and scandal.

Beginning today, Netflix introduces “Marco Polo.” This ambitious 10-part epic stars Italian newcomer Lorenzo Richelmy in the title role. An international cast includes Zhu Zhu (“Cloud Atlas”), Joan Chen (“Twin Peaks”) and Benedict Wong (“Prometheus”).

Blending history and legend, sex and travelogue, swordplay and martial arts action and a “Game of Thrones”-like tale of menacing kingdoms beyond the realm of the known world, “Marco Polo” may introduce a whole new generation to the kinds of expensive, lavish and occasionally preposterous miniseries that used to dominate television during network sweeps months.

Like every Netflix effort, all 10 episodes of “Marco Polo” will be immediately available for streaming.

Tonight’s highlights

The top six contend on “MasterChef Junior” (7 p.m., Fox).

A poisoned cowboy expires on “Hawaii Five-0” (8 p.m., CBS).

Mythical bloodsuckers take a toll on “Grimm” (8 p.m., NBC).

Holiday products are put to the test on “Shark Tank” (8 p.m., ABC).

The Reagans investigate a bias crime on “Blue Bloods” (9 p.m., CBS).

An old pal encounters evil south of the border on “Constantine” (9 p.m., NBC).

BIRTHDAYS Former TV host Bob Barker is 91. Singer Dionne Warwick is 74. Actress Jennifer Connelly is 44. Actress Regina Hall is 44.

Country singer Hank Williams III is 42.

has serious health issues, and that, plus medication, is undoubtedly what is causing his lack of desire. It isn’t anything you are doing.

And he, too, feels guilt, because his illness prevents you from having the relationship you envisioned. Only you can decide whether or not you love him enough to see him through this, with or without sex.

Counseling will help you, even if Marcus chooses not to go.

Dear Annie: I was diagnosed with epilepsy three years ago but had milder forms of seizures that went undiagnosed for 23 years.

Of all the major chronic medical conditions, epilepsy is surely one of the least understood. Seizures are unpredictable electrical disturbances in the brain that affect awareness,

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Friday, Dec. 12: This year you flip back and forth between stealing the show and fading into the background. You like being visible, but it is also important to demonstrate that you are versatile and have a quiet side.

You take your work, your relationships and your image very seriously. If you are single, you might find it difficult to find a match who can integrate with the many facets of your personality. Do not lose hope.

If you are attached, your multifaceted personality adds to the moment and to your sweetie’s undying interest.

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) A partner might disagree with a decision you’ve made.

Tonight: Don’t push.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Someone might disappoint you in the morning, but refrain from saying anything negative.Tonight: Live it up.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) By the afternoon, you might decide to turn your focus to a personal matter. Tonight: Invite a friend over.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You won’t be comfortable if you don’t have enough funds to enjoy yourself. Tonight: At a local spot.
