Skills learned at KU employed in missions

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

Maj. Gen. Gary Patton doesn’t mince words about the importance of his mission to properly train the police and army in Afghanistan.

“In a nutshell, that’s our ticket home,” he said in a recent Skype interview from Kabul, Afghanistan. “That’s how we view our mission.”

Patton said that even today he draws on skills he picked up while studying for a master’s degree in journalism at Kansas University, where he graduated in 1990.

The general recalls fondly his times at KU and maintains several friendships in Lawrence and the area.

“

I’ve had students who were better journalists than Gary, but not students who were better human beings.”

— Paul Jess, retired Kansas University journalism professor who taught Patton He is second in command of the NATO Training Mission— Afghanistan, where he reports to Lt. Gen. William Caldwell, former commanding general of Fort Leavenworth.

Patton is the deputy commander in charge of training the Afghan army. On Saturday, he was promoted in rank to major general by Gen. David Petraeus, International Security Assistance Force Commander, at Camp Eggers in Kabul, Afghanistan.

He said the mission is a chal-

lenging and multifaceted one.

Given the large volume of soldiers that need to be trained, the U.S. Army has ranks as low as privates training Afghan soldiers how to shoot rifles, Patton said.

The Afghan soldiers’ needs are varied; many are illiterate and need to be taught how to read and write. Others have other basic needs, like eyeglasses. After all, Patton said, you can’t shoot what you can’t see.

Patton said he has no specified ending date to his tour of duty.

“I’m here until we get the job done,” he said.

Paul Jess, a retired KU journalism professor, said he remembered Patton as an incredibly bright student, and one whom other students admired and respected.

“I’ve had students who were better journalists than Gary,” Jess said, “but not students who were better human beings.”

One of his friends and classmates, Steve Buckner of Lawrence, remembered how Patton seemed to understand ideas easily in class, despite coming from a vastly different background than most other students.

TOPEKA — Years of underfunding Kansas’ public pension system need to be corrected soon, officials say.

“Current benefits are safe for a period of time, but we do have a significant long-term funding shortfall,” said Glenn Deck, executive director of the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System.

KPERS projects a $7.7 billion gap between longterm revenues and commitments for paying pensions.

Nearly all state, school district, county and city employees in Kansas are LEGISLATURE part of KPERS. Some 260,000 Kansans are paying into the system or drawing out retirement benefits. KPERS pays out more than $1 billion in benefits per year.

But the state has not been contributing at the rate it needs to in order to keep KPERS properly financed.

Combine that with devastating investment losses in the stock market during the recession, and KPERS needs help.

“That’s sort of the peanut,” said Julian Efird, of the Kansas Legislative Research Department. “There have been systematic undercontributions and there have been periods of significant market losses,” he told members of the House Pensions and Benefits Committee last week.

DOLE INSTITUTE OF POLITICS

Lecture series focus: 20th century Mount Rushmore

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

An upcoming presidential lecture series at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics will be a homecoming for the institute’s first full-time director.

Richard Norton Smith, a presidential historian and former director of several presidential libraries, will return to present his four choices for a “20th century Mount Rushmore.”

“He grasped the concepts quite easily,” Buckner said.

Patton graduated from West Point in 1979 and from KU with his master’s degree in journalism in 1990 after the army sent him back to school to become a public affairs officer. He said the training at KU has helped him, and he still uses the Associated Pressstyle writing he learned in journalism courses.

“Get the most important stuff up top,” he said.

Today, he still helps out his alma mater by participating in KU’s Media and the Military program. Tom Volek, a KU journalism professor, administers the program and said Patton has been helpful since the two first met in Washington.

He’s talked with students by videoconference about how the military gets its mes-

sage out to the public, and has answered questions and given presentations to professional reporters, too, as part of the program.

“Gary has insisted that we use him, which is just amazing,” Volek said.

From the time he graduated until today, Patton said he’s watched the army’s attitude toward the media undergo a drastic shift. Today, the army looks for reporters to embed with military units, he said, instead of shying away from coverage.

“That would’ve been the farthest thing from the army’s mind 10, 15 years ago,” he said.

And Patton hits the media circuit often, doing as many interviews as he can for major television stations, and local newspapers, too.

He said he’d particularly like to thank Americans who supported their troops, saying he sees a lot of soldiers

who receive and appreciate care packages that are sent without designating a specific soldier to receive them.

“We’re thankful and mindful of the support we get from the American people,” Patton said. “It’s just phenomenal support.”

Patton — who joked he probably got in to journalism school at KU when he answered in the affirmative whether he enjoyed basketball in his initial interview to get into the school — asked about the KU men’s record this year.

He hadn’t checked lately, and, when told they were undefeated, he was visibly happy.

“Rock Chalk,” Patton said, and waved his arms triumphantly in the air.

KPERS faces funding shortfall CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Deck is quick to note there is no immediate problem in paying out benefits, but adds, “The longer we keep pushing it off, the price gets bigger.”

State Rep. Mitch Holmes, RSt. John, and chairman of the Pensions and Benefits Committee, plans on holding several informational hearings on KPERS issues during the current legislative session.

Whether that will result in legislation to try to fix KPERS is uncertain at this time.

He said he is very encouraged by the enthusiasm of the members in discussing KPERS issues. Any fix will cost money, which is something the state is lacking.

In his departing comments, former Gov. Mark Parkinson lamented that he was unable

to address problems with KPERS because of the state’s severe budget crunch.

“Hundreds of thousands of Kansans that serve our state will depend on KPERS to secure their retirement, and it is not funded properly. This is true for a variety of reasons, and they are all f ixable,” Parkinson said.

“Unfortunately, part of the fix will require the state to provide additional funding.

Another part of the fix will require people in the system to give a little more and accept a little less,” he said.

In his State of the State address last week, new Gov. Sam Brownback urged the Legislature “to work to ensure the integrity and soundness of the system for decades to come.” Senate President Stephen Morris, R-

Smith will discuss all four presidents in an informal conversation with Lacy in the coming weeks at the Dole Institute. He said the case could clearly be made for other choices, too, such as Harry Truman, for example.

Smith said he appreciated the informal, conversationstyle approach the institute has taken with recent programs that would be mimicked in several of his own presentations.

“Good conversation is an art, and if the Dole Institute can foster it, so much the better,” Smith said.

“It’s wonderful to see how the institute has taken off,”

Smith said. “I think Bill and his colleagues have done a tremendous job of realizing the vision of the institute.”

The institute also has met with Dole’s original vision — that it not be a dry, academic place to view his senatorial papers, but instead, that it be a vibrant place that’s alive, inclusive, contemporary, bipartisan and open to the public.

“It’s become a real jewel of the university,” Smith said.

Lacy said he was looking forward to the program and to having Smith return for an extended lecture series.

“It’s always great to have him back,” Lacy said of Smith.

“He is the guy who envisioned the Dole Institute and what it is today.”

Lawrence home sales fall in 2010

Looting, riots as new leader sworn in Looting, deadly prison riots and street chaos engulfed Tunisia on Saturday, a day after mass protests forced its strongman to flee. A new interim president was sworn in, promising to create a unity government that could include the long-ignored opposition.

It was the second change of power in this North African nation in less than 24 hours.

Saturday night appeared calmer than the previous night, which saw looters empty shops and torch the capital’s main train station as well as some shops. As military helicopters patrolled overhead, residents in some neighborhoods armed themselves with sticks and clubs, forming impromptu militias to protect their homes.

The slogan for online pornography very well could be “affordable and anonymous.”

By the time Wack reached his senior year, he had figured out that if he somehow could remove the anonymity from the equation he might be a step closer to shedding his problem.

What he came up with was a computer program. The concept behind it was easy. He would develop a software system that would recognize pornography sites. But instead of the program blocking his access to the sites, it would do something different. It would let him look all he wanted, but it also would send out an email or text message to a friend, parent or someone else close to him. Within 20 seconds of logging onto the site,

It was an odd year for Lawrence’s real estate and building industries, a new set of statistics show.

Lawrence home sales fell slightly in 2010, but the number of new homes built in the city increased by about 23 percent for the year.

Here’s a brief look at the data, which comes from the annual f igures from the Lawrence Board of Realtors and the city’s building permit report. ● Partially stimulated: The federal stimulus program that offered homebuyers several f inancial tax credits did produce healthy months for Lawrence real estate sales early in 2010. But for the entire year real estate sales fell by 1.1 percent. The Lawrence Board of Realtors reports 1,239 sales were made by its members in 2010, down from 1,253 in 2009. The numbers also are down from 2008 totals when 1,286 homes were sold. ● Building bounce-back: The city issued 152 building permits for single family and duplexes in 2010. That’s up 23 percent from 2009’s total of 126. It also is up from the total of 114 in 2008. ● A taste for the new: Perhaps builders started more new homes in 2010 because that is what buyers wanted.

The number of newly built homes sold in 2010 was 115, up from 96 in 2009. That’s an increase of 19.7 percent. It also marks a reversal from a serious slump in 2009. New homes sales in 2009 dropped by 26 percent. ● Price increases: Although sales were a tad weaker, prices were a tad higher in 2010. The median

Doctors replace Giffords’ breathing tube Doctors on Saturday removed Rep. Gabrielle Giffords’ breathing tube and could soon know if she can speak.

Giffords had an operation Saturday to replace the breathing tube with a tracheotomy tube in her windpipe. That allows her to breathe better and frees her from the ventilator.

Though Giffords had been breathing on her own since she was shot in the head Jan. 8, doctors had left the breathing tube in as a precaution. A feeding tube was also put in to provide nutrition. Those procedures are not out of the ordinary for brain-injured patients.

Giffords’ doctors have said they should be able to evaluate her ability to speak once the breathing tube is out.

Giffords remains in critical condition at University Medical Center.

At least 102 killed in stampede A stampede of pilgrims returning from one of India’s most popular Hindu festivals killed at least 102 people and injured 44 others, officials said Saturday.

The stampede was set off Friday night when a group of pilgrims in a jeep drove into a crowd of worshippers walking along a narrow forest path as they returned from offering prayers at the hilltop Sabarimala shrine in the state of Kerala in southern India, said local police official Sanjay Kumar.

All the injured were hospitalized, some in serious condition, Kumar told The Associated Press.

The area was flooded with pilgrims and the stampede occurred nearly 50 miles northeast of the temple site, Kumar said.

U.S. soldiers killed while training Iraqis Two U.S. troops were killed Saturday by an Iraqi soldier who apparently smuggled real bullets into a training exercise and opened fire, raising fresh concerns about insurgents worming into the nation’s security forces as the Americans prepare to leave by the year’s end.

A U.S. military official said the shooter was immediately killed by American soldiers who were running the morning drill at a training center on a U.S. base in the northern city of Mosul. The U.S. official said the exercise was not meant to involve live ammunition, and an Iraqi army officer said the shooting appeared to have been planned.

Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release the information. A U.S. statement confirmed that two soldiers were killed and a third was wounded by small-arms fire by what the military described as “an individual wearing an Iraqi army uniform.”

Program helps flag Internet addictions

As far as addictions go, this one is convenient.

There’s no need to go to a dark street corner and make a transaction with a dealer. No need for needles or pipes. No need to hop in a car to head to your local bar or liquor store.

No, as 26-year-old Justen Wack will tell you, all that’s needed to become an outstanding Internet porn addict is a computer and a little bit of time.

Oh sure, there’s some occasional pangs of guilt or shame, but nothing that can’t be overcome.

“When you’re sitting at home alone on a Friday night,” Wack said, “those consequences don’t seem that strong.”

Government promotes film about leaker Even as prosecutors build a case against the Army private suspected of passing hundreds of thousands of diplomatic cables to WikiLeaks, the State Department is promoting a documentary film that celebrates Pentagon Papers leaker Daniel Ellsberg.

Amid its struggle to contain damage from the WikiLeaks revelations, the State Department announced Saturday that “The Most Dangerous Man in America: Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers” has been selected as one of 18 films that will tour the world this year as part of its “American Documentary Showcase” program.

ago, Wack came from Cleveland to enroll at Olathe-based MidAmerica Nazarene University and to play on the school’s soccer team.

Somewhere along the way, he became a college male who spent a lot of time looking at online pornography. Wack won’t try to tell you some strung-out junkie story about his addiction. He didn’t end up living in a gutter, and he didn’t end up flunking out of school.

But he did have an addiction, and he said it became obvious to him.

“I realized I had a problem when I wanted to stop doing it, but every time I tried to I couldn’t,” Wack said.

So Wack sought help. That’s predictable enough. But where this story has a twist is that Wack didn’t so much find help as much as he built it.

Now, he’s kicked the porn — and gained a business in the process.

Volunteers from Beak n Wings Inc., a Shawnee-based parrot rescue agency, receive a lot of calls from potential parrot parents looking for a dream bird that’ll chat with them just like a friend.

“They always want a bird that talks,” said board member Jennifer Clair at Saturday’s adoption event at Petco, 3115 Iowa.

But that’s usually a sign someone doesn’t really understand what’s involved in taking care of a parrot, said fellow board member Kevin Patrick.

Only a small percentage of parrots talk, and a lot goes into caring for the birds that can live

PARROT ADOPTION Beak n Wings will put on its 11th Annual Spring Bird Expo from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Feb. 26 at Metropolitan Community College, 1775 Universal Ave., Kansas City, Mo. For more information about adopting a parrot, visit beaknwings.org, or call 913-322-3398. up to 80 years, he said.

“It’s a lifelong commitment,” Patrick said.

Initial costs for a parrot can run into the hundreds, including the cost of buying the bird and cage.

Care for a parrot can then cost an additional $30 to $75 per month.

But for those ready for the commitment, it’s rewarding, Clair said.

Beak n Wings is always look-

ing for homes for the hundred or so birds they receive every year.

Some are surrendered by previous owners, while others are found out in the wild in a nonnative and potentially dangerous habitat.

For instance, Honeydew, a double yellow-headed Amazon parrot on display Saturday, was found after being attacked by a red-tailed hawk.

As Clair gave kisses to Honeydew, she talked about the joy of owning a parrot.

“They form a bond with a person that is so much more of a one-on-one bond,” she said. “It’s something to be chosen by a wild bird to be a companion.”

Prosecutor adds charge for homicide suspect HUTCHINSON — Prosecutors have added a kidnapping charge for a Hutchinson homicide suspect after a co-defendant was acquitted of murder.

Anthony Waller already had been charged with firstdegree murder and aggravated robbery in the April 2010 beating and strangulation death of 33-year-old Joshua Haines.

The Hutchinson News reported that Reno County prosecutors added the aggravated kidnapping count Friday.

ON THE RECORD

• Lawrence Police arrested a 40-year-old Lawrence man Friday on charges of theft greater than $25,000, criminal use of a financial card, forgery, and burglary of a vehicle.

Sgt. Ted J. Bordman said the arrest — which occurred in the 1000 block of West 23rd Street — followed a "rather lengthy investigation" by police. Bordman said he was unable to provide more details on the case as the

investigation is ongoing.

The man was booked into the Douglas County Jail around 9 p.m., and his bond was set at $49,500.

The same man was also arrested on charges of automobile theft on Dec. 30, 2010, following a police chase near Holcom Park. In that case, the man was released on a $1,500 bond the same day, according to the Douglas County Jail booking log.

The Journal-World does not print accounts of all police reports filed.

The newspaper generally reports: • Burglaries, only with a loss of $1,000 or more, unless there are unusual circumstances. To protect victims, we generally don’t identify them by name.

• The names and circumstances of people arrested, only after they are charged.

Software program promotes Internet accountability Miller & Midyett

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

his “accountability partner” would know about it.

“I wanted to have a friend be able to call me up in the heat of the moment and say ‘What the heck are you doing?’” Wack said.

The system worked for Wack. He said knowing that he could get that uncomfortable call has helped him change his behavior.

Then Wack began wondering whether the program could help other people.

After graduating with a degree in graphic design, he was working in a Gardner sign shop when a member of The Bristol Groupe — a Lawrence-based development company — overheard him talking about the idea.

A short time later, The Bristol Groupe had become an investor in Wack’s infant company. Now, Lawrence resident Greg DiVilbiss, a partner in The Bristol Groupe, has become the company’s chief operating officer.

Since August, the company, which has an office in both Gardner and in Lawrence near Bob Billings and Wakarusa Drive, has been selling the software under the brand name Saavi Accountability.

The Internet-based program sells on the company’s website, saaviaccountability.com, for $9 a month, which allows the software to run on up to four computers. In late December, the company released its second version of the software, and sales are growing, both Wack and DiVilbiss said.

“We feel like we’re on the cutting edge of Internet technology,” DiVilbiss said. ●●●

Since its inception, the software has evolved. No longer is it just for online pornography problems. The company, which includes Wack, DiVilbiss and a software developer, has added online gambling, hate sites,

2010 TOP AGENTS

SAAVI ACCOUNTABILITY’S INTERNET-BASED PROGRAM, pictured on its website above, sells for $9 per month, running on up to four computers. The second version of the software was released in December. sites that promote violence, YouTube videos and online gaming applications to the list of activities that can be detected and that would trigger a message to an accountability partner.

But the program is set up to let users decide what types of categories, or even specific sites, they find appropriate or inappropriate.

“We’re not in the business of being the morals police,” said Wack, who serves as the company’s founder and CEO. The software seems to have two main user groups, Wack said. One is people like Wack who are looking for a tool to help them with their own problems. The second group is parents who want a unique way of teaching their children online responsibility.

The company thinks the parent market will be a growing one, especially as online gaming becomes a significant addiction problem, Wack said. The program allows parents to decide how long a child should be playing a particular game.

“If they think an hour a day is appropriate,” Wack said, “they can set it for that. But once they play for an hour and one minute, the parents are going to get a message.”

DiVilbiss also thinks other markets are emerging. He’s hoping to convince justice

systems that the program would be a good tool for parole officers who monitor registered sex offenders. He also believes the program might be good for corporations that have grown weary of the traditional blocking and filtering programs.

“I used to work at a company in Wichita that had a filtering program, and it would block a lot of appropriate sites,” DiVilbiss said. “It might block the JournalWorld site one day because it had a story about Fred Phelps on it.”

But Wack thinks the bulk of the company’s growth will come from users who appreciate the unique philosophy behind the software. Wack said he’s convinced the best way to overcome an online addiction is not to be stopped from seeing a site, but rather to convince yourself that you no longer want to see it.

“I realized, in my case, I had to address the problem from the inside out,” Wack said. “The heart of the problem was the heart. Our program helps you build the decision-making process.

That’s important because one thing that is for sure these days is that you’re going to be exposed to the Internet.”

Firefighter suffers heart attack, dies

DOWNS — A north-central Kansas volunteer firefighter has died after suffering a heart attack while fighting a blaze.

The Hays Daily News reported that Capt. Jim Niles had been responding to a garage fire Thursday when he was found to be unresponsive.

Kansas State Firefighters Association President Andy

Moffitt said Niles was taken over to the Osborne County Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Moffitt said Niles had been in good health.

Halstead man dies in rural house fire HALSTEAD — A central Kansas man has died in a fire that engulfed his home.

Officials identified the vic-

tim as Robert H. Siemens.

The Harvey County Sheriff’s Office said the fire was reported around 10:30 a.m. Friday at his farmhouse about 2 miles west of Halstead.

His wife said she left the house after noticing that the living room was on fire. She said she crossed paths with her husband as she left and told him about the fire. But she said he went into the home anyway and never came out.

Upgrade or build new ones? Plans to retrofit power plants studied cmetz@ljworld.com

Plans for billions of dollars in environmental upgrades to some of the state’s larger power plants will get a closer look.

Staff with the Kansas Corporation Commission have filed a petition to start investigating whether it made more sense to close down large, aging power plants to build new ones or to spend billions retrofitting the plants to meet pending environmental regulations.

The KCC staff will also look at whether the energy provided by the plants in question is needed and, if the upgrades are made, whether the utility has picked the best option.

Eventually the cost of making those environmental upgrades will be shouldered by energy customers.

“We have a f iduciary responsibility to make sure the upgrades are handled in the most efficient and effective way,” KCC spokeswoman Cara Sloan-Ramos said.

The upgrades are associated with the Environmental Protection Agency’s regulations for controlling pollutants that cause haze. Several years ago, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment pinpointed five coal-fired power plants that needed to make environmental upg rades to reduce haze.

They included two units in La Cygne, of which Kansas City Power and Light and Westar Energy share ownership, a Westar unit in Colwich and two more in St. Marys.

Among the most notable retrofits will be the one at the La Cygne power plant, which has to be completed by June 2015. In all, the upgrades would cost $800 million to $1 billion, an amount that would be split in half by KCP&L and Westar.

Chuck Caisley, senior director of public affairs for

“

Why throw $800 million or more to do a retrofit to have a coal plant around for another 30 to 40 years when we realize coal is a bad thing to have out there?”

— Bill Griffith, chairman of the energy committee for the Sierra Club KCP&L, said the company believes making the upgrades to the 30-year-old plant to keep it running for several more decades is a sound decision. But he said the KCC filing is still a good thing.

“We think a conversation about this is good and healthy.

If folks have other ideas, absolutely we would be willing to talk about them,” Caisley said.

Gina Penzig, a spokeswoman for Westar, said the company is still reviewing the petition to see whether it would affect any of its plans.

“This is something that is fully within their jurisdiction,” she said of the KCC filing.

Both the Kansas Chapter of the Sierra Club and the Kansas Citizens’ Utility Ratepayer Board support the KCC’s role in studying what options would work best.

Bill Griffith, chairman of the energy committee for the Sierra Club, said it’s a conversation that needs to take place.

“Why throw $800 million or more to do a retrofit to have a coal plant around for another 30 to 40 years when we realize coal is a bad thing to have out there?” Griffith said.

The Sierra Club likes the possibility that a coal plant could be replaced with something that is environmentally friendlier, like wind or natural gas.

Citizens’ Utility Ratepayer Board, building new plants might make more sense even without the environmental consideration.

With energy usage down from the recent recession, Springe said, utility companies have some breathing room before building more power generation.

“It’s a pure economic question. Does it make more sense to spend billions on old, dirty plants or build better, new, more efficient plants that are cleaner and cheaper?”

Springe asked.

KCC staff will be working quickly on the issue so a policy can be in place before utilities bring cases before the board, KCC spokeswoman Sloan-Ramos said.

Students turn exercise into competition ticipated in an after-school Smart Strength program during the week — logging about 15 miles. He said he didn’t do anything on Monday and Tuesday because he was sore.

The winner — Marcus Jacobs — put in about 20 miles between running and wrestling. He takes a 10-mile run once a week, he said.

Marcus won four bowling passes from the challenge’s sponsor, Scale Down Challenge, a Lawrence company that organizes weight-loss competitions. Marcus is looking forward to the warm, indoor activity.

“It will be fun,” he said with a smile.

About 55 Central Junior High School students participated in a week-long Pedometer Challenge that ended Friday afternoon.

The idea was for the students to wear pedometers and track their daily activity, and the student with the most steps would win a prize.

A majority of the students did — as ninth-grader Bryan Bourdon said — “kick it up a notch.”

The problem was they didn’t keep a good record of it. Most of the students only counted activities like runs, gym class and sports practices. They didn’t count walking between classes and doing chores at home. A lot of them estimated the number of steps instead of

using the pedometers, which is understandable because it’s hard to wear a pedometer while participating in a wrestling match or sledding.

Bryan deserves an A for effort in calculating that he exerted 4,000 steps — or 2 miles — in “beating up” his older brother.

The students who took part were enrolled in an advanced physical education class.

Instructor Teresa Grieb said she intends to use their charts to discuss when the students get activity and what motivates them to move.

“Is it their friends? Is it sports?” she asked. “I am curious about that.”

Record $14 trillion-plus deficit weighs on Congress

By Tom Raum Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — The United States just passed a dubious milestone: Government debt surged to an all-time high, topping $14 trillion — $45,300 for each and everyone in the country.

That means Congress soon will have to lift the legal debt limit to give the nearly maxed-out government an even higher credit limit or dramatically cut spending to stay within the current cap.

Either way, a fight is ahead on Capitol Hill, inflamed by the passions of tea party activists and deficit hawks.

Already, both sides are blaming each other for an approaching economic train wreck as Washington wrestles over how to keep the government in business and avoid default on global financial obligations.

Bills increasing the debt limit are among the most unpopular to come before Congress, serving as pawns for decades in high-stakes bargaining games. Every time until now, the ending has been the same: We go to the brink before raising the ceiling.

All bets may be off, however, in this charged political environment, despite some signs the partisan rhetoric is softening after the Arizona shootings.

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner says failure to increase borrowing authority would be “a catastrophe,” perhaps rivaling the financial

TREASURY SECRETARY Timothy Geithner testifies Dec. 16, 2010, on Capitol Hill in Washington before the Congressional Oversight Panel hearing on TARP. The United States just passed a dubious milestone: Government debt surged to an all-time high, more than $14 trillion. Geithner says failure to increase borrowing authority would be “a catastrophe,” perhaps rivaling the financial meltdown of 2008-2009. meltdown of 2008-2009.

Congressional Republicans, flexing muscle after November’s victories, say the election results show that people are weary of big government and deficit spending, and that it’s time to draw the line against more borrowing.

Defeating a new debt limit increase has become a priority for the tea party movement and other small-government conservatives.

So far, the new GOP majority has proved accommodating. Republicans are moving to

make good on their promise to cut $100 billion from domestic spending this year. They adopted a rules change by House Speaker John Boehner that should make it easier to block a debt-limit increase.

The national debt is the accumulation of years of deficit spending going back to the days of George Washington. The debt usually advances in times of war and retreats in peace.

Remarkably, nearly half of today’s national debt was run up in just the past six years. It soared from $7.6 trillion in January 2005 as President George W. Bush began his second term to $10.6 trillion the day Obama was inaugurated and to $14.02 trillion now. The period has seen two major wars and the deepest economic downturn since the 1930s.

With a $1.7 trillion deficit in budget year 2010 alone, and the government on track to spend $1.3 trillion more this year than it takes in, annual budget deficits are adding roughly $4 billion a day to the national debt. Put another way, the government is borrowing 41 cents for every dollar it spends.

In a letter to Congress, Geithner said the current statutory debt ceiling of $14.3 trillion, set just last year, may be reached by the end of March — and hit no later than May 16.

He warned that holding it hostage to skirmishes over spending could lead the country to default on its obligations, “an event that has no prece-

candidates: incumbent Marlene Merrill and Shannon Kimball, a member of the district’s Lawrence Elementary School Facility Vision Task Force.

The f iling deadline for board races is noon Jan. 25.

The requirements: ● Be a resident of the district. ● Be a registered voter at the time of filing. ● Be at least 18 years old on election day. ● Pay a $5 filing fee.

After that, the work is up to you.

“A large part of it is just showing up — stepping up, showing up and putting your name on the ballot to participate,” said Jamie Shew, Douglas County clerk. “That’s the place to start.”

From there, current and former board members say, candidates will have their eyes on a prize that carry a number of benefits. Among them: ● Community service. “It can be a pain, but also extremely rewarding,” said Scott Morgan, a current board member who has won two elections, lost another and doesn’t plan on running again. “I can think of nothing

more important that you can do for your community.”

Anyone who truly believes should consider leading by example, he said, “and it’s not a spectator sport. You’ve got to engage at some level.” ● Leadership experience.

“It’s an interpersonal growth experience like no other,” said Maley Wilkins, who served on the Lawrence board from 1995 to 1999, including one year as president. “It gives you confidence, and you know you can do something.” The varied skills she picked up on the board — communications, negotiations and others — continue to serve her today, as she works as community bank president for Peoples Bank in Lawrence. ● Future investment. Loveland lost her first race in 1983, then won four in a row beginning in 1987 before losing again in 2003 and winning again in 2007. She knows it’s been worth it and will pay off well into the future.

dent in American history.”

Debt-level brinkmanship doesn’t wear a party label.

Here’s what then-Sen. Barack Obama said on the Senate floor in 2006: “The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance the government’s reckless fiscal policies.”

It was a blast by the freshman lawmaker against a Bush request to raise the debt limit to $8.96 trillion.

Bush won on a 52-48 partyline vote. Not a single Senate Democrat voted to raise the limit, opposition that’s now complicating White House efforts to rally bipartisan support for a higher ceiling.

Democrats have used doomsday rhetoric about a looming government shutdown and comparing the U.S. plight to financial crises in Greece and Portugal. It’s all a bit of a stretch.

“We can’t do as the Gingrich crowd did a few years ago, close the government,” said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., referring to government shutdowns in 1995 when Georgia Republican Newt Gingrich was House speaker.

But those shutdowns had nothing to do with the debt limit. They were caused by failure of Congress to appropriate funds to keep federal agencies running.

LAS VEGAS — A 17-year-old aspiring politician from Nebraska captured the Miss America crown on Saturday after beating 52 other young women from across the United States.

Teresa Scanlan won a $50,000 scholarship and a yearlong run with the crown at the competition at the Planet Hollywood casino-resort in Las Vegas, giving the Cornhusker State its first-ever win at the pageant.

Pageant officials said she was the youngest Miss America since the pageant’s first competition in 1921, when Margaret Gorman of the District of Columbia won at age 15. But the organization’s website listed at least two other young women who were younger than Scanlan when they won: Marian Bergeron, 15 1/2 when she won — Schools reporter Mark Fagan can be in 1933, and Rosemary reached at 832-7188.

Vanessa Sanburn, now in her second year as a board member, acknowledges all of the aforementioned benefits, and couldn’t agree more. But during the past week’s snow days, it was Sanburn’s 8-yearold daughter, Nadia — a second-grader at Woodlawn School — who put it all in perspective.

“She got to know she had a snow day about 2 minutes ahead of time,” Sanburn said, with a laugh.

Such perks of leadership await Sanburn’s future colleagues, and those who win election to other boards in the area.

Basketball capital?

Lawrence has a legitimate claim to basketball fame. We should try to capitalize on it.

I

magine being a 10- or 12-year-old child and playing for a national basketball championship on the famed floor of Allen Fieldhouse.

Talk about your hoop dreams.

But a couple of recent news items make us wonder whether such an idea has to be confined to the imagination. First, was a JournalWorld article about Lawrence being chosen as the host city for this year’s U.S. Specialty Sports Association’s Winter National Basketball Tournament. The three-day event in March is expected to attract about 4,500 participants to Lawrence from all over the country. For Lawrence merchants, the event ought to be prettier than a perfectly timed alley-oop.

The second item was the hiring of Sheahon Zenger as Kansas University’s next athletic director. Zenger’s connection to Lawrence — for a time he lived a few blocks away from the fieldhouse — has created considerable enthusiasm. Zenger is not a man who has to imagine the excitement that Allen Fieldhouse can create for a sports-loving child. He’s experienced it.

All this may create a significant opportunity for Lawrence. What if the community and KU Athletics could come together on a plan to open Allen Fieldhouse for one week out of the year to host championship games for the premiere youth basketball tournament in America? How many families from across the country would travel to Lawrence if they thought their son or daughter had a chance to play in one of basketball’s most historic venues? How much would that add to Lawrence’s economy and reputation? Could Lawrence land itself on national television for a week like Williamsport, Pa., does for the Little League World Series?

It would be fun to find out.

Lawrence has the chance to excel in many economic endeavors. We’re a fine university community, well situated, with talented and hard-working residents.

We’re also basketball crazy.

Lawrence truly has the potential to be known as the Basketball Capital of America.

Excitement is building over the possibility that Dr. Naismith’s original rules of basketball will be coming home to KU. Those rules, perhaps housed in a new facility worthy of such an important piece of history, could be a cornerstone for the Basketball Capital title. A youth basketball tournament that crowns a true national champion at the center court of Allen Fieldhouse could be another.

If we’re serious about such an effort, there will be much to build: a marketing effort, a team of volunteers, a bank account, adequate housing, etc. But, of course, what does not need to be built is the venue. Allen Fieldhouse is the Fenway Park of college basketball. It’s the Lambeau Field. It’s the Boston Garden. Its history lies not in its lobby displays but in the fact it is the place where history-makers actually displayed their talents.

Here in Lawrence, we know all of this. The really good news is that many people across the country know it too. We don’t have to build that.

We just have to open its front door a little wider.

Faux laws empower executive branch WASHINGTON — Unlike most of the 111 that preceded it, the 112th Congress must begin the process of restoring the national regime and civic culture the Founders bequeathed. This will require reviving the rule of law, reasserting the relevance of the Constitution, and affirming the reality of American exceptionalism.

Many congressional Republicans, and surely some Democrats with institutional pride, think Congress is being derogated and marginalized by two developments. One is the apotheosis of the presidency as the mainspring of the government and the custodian of the nation’s soul. The second is the growing autonomy of the regulatory state, an apparatus responsive to presidents.

The eclipse of Congress by the executive branch and other agencies is Congress’ fault. It is the result of lazy legislating and lax oversight. Too many “laws” actually are little more than pious sentiments endorsing social goals — environmental, educational, etc.

— the meanings of which are later defined by executive-branch rulemaking. In creating faux laws, the national legislature often creates legislators in the executive branch, making a mockery of the separation of powers. And Congress makes a mockery of itself when the Federal Register, a compilation of the regulatory state’s activities, is a more important guide to governance than the Congressional Record.

Unfortunately, courts long ago made clear that they will not seriously inhibit Congress’ scan-

dalous delegation of its lawmaking function to others. So Congress should stop whining about the actions of the EPA (emissions controls), FCC (“net neutrality”), Interior Department (reclassifications of public lands) and other agencies, and should start rereading Shakespeare: “The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings.”

Conservative senators passing through the Capitol reception room should ponder the portrait of Ohio’s Robert Taft (d. 1953), who was conservatism when it stressed congressional supremacy. America was born in recoil against an overbearing executive’s “repeated injuries and usurpations” (the Declaration of Independence); modern conservatism was born in reaction against executive aggrandizement, first by Franklin Roo-

sevelt, then by his acolyte Lyndon Johnson.

But beginning in 1968, Republicans won five of six and then seven of 10 presidential elections, and experienced rapture with Ronald Reagan. Then they lost their wholesome wariness of executive power. Today, conservatives should curl up with a good book by a founding editor of National Review — James Burnham’s “Congress and the American Tradition.”

Regarding the relevance of the Constitution, you must remember this: Rep. Nancy Pelosi, asked about the constitutionality of the health care legislation — a subject now being seriously litigated — said, “Are you serious? Are you serious?” She was serious.

She seriously cannot comprehend that anyone seriously thinks James Madison was serious when he wrote (Federalist 45), “The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined.” Unfortunately, for too long too many supine courts have flinched from enforcing the doctrine of enumerated powers, and too many Congresses have enjoyed emancipation from that doctrine. So restraint by the judiciary must be replaced by congressional self-restraint.

The idea of American exceptionalism is obnoxious to progressives, who, evidently unaware of the idea’s long pedigree (it traces to Alexis de Tocqueville) and the rich scholarship concerning the idea, assume it is a crude strain of patriotism. America, Tocqueville

said, is unique because it was born free — free of a feudal past, free from an entrenched aristocracy and established religion.

The American Revolution was a political, not a social revolution; it was about emancipating individuals for the pursuit of happiness, not about the state allocating wealth and opportunity. Hence our exceptional Constitution, which says not what government must do for Americans but what it cannot do to them.

Americans are exceptionally committed to limited government because they are exceptionally confident of social mobility through personal striving. And they are exceptionally immune to a distinctively modern pessimism: It holds that individuals are powerless to assert their autonomy against society’s vast impersonal forces, so people must become wards of government, which supposedly is the locus and engine of society’s creativity.

Two years into Barack Obama’s presidency, we now know what he meant about “hope” and “change” — he and other progressives hope to change our national character.

Three weeks into his presidency, Newsweek, unhinged by adoration of him, and allowing its wishes to father its thoughts, announced that “we are all socialists now” and that America “is moving toward a modern European state.” The electorate emphatically disagreed, and created the 112th Congress, with its exceptionally important agenda.

PUBLIC FORUM

Growth of what?

Fame not an end in itself “I want to be famous.”

My grandson told me that when he was 6. I repeat: “6.”

It has always struck me as a vivid illustration of the way we’ve been transformed by the omnipresence of media. Time was, little boys dreamed of being cops, cowboys and superheroes.

But that was long ago.

Fame itself is the dream now, the lingua franca of the media age, democratized to such a degree that every Tom, Dick and Snooki can be a star. If you’re not famous, you’re probably not really trying.

Fame, the thinking seems to be, is an end unto itself. It solves all problems, fixes all shortcomings, makes all things OK. Except that fame actually does none of those things. Fame does not change what you are; it only magnifies it.

Here, then, is Ted Williams, who is now famous. And if you think I mean the Hall of Fame baseball player, you’ve likely been out of the country a few days. That brief time span encompasses the entirety of this Ted Williams’ fame.

It began Jan. 3 when a videographer for the Columbus Dispatch posted online a startlingly incongruous video. This wildhaired homeless man with a hand-written sign is panhandling at a freeway off-ramp. But when he speaks, it is in the trained and manicured baritone of a professional announcer. Which, it turns out, he once was, before alcohol, crack, homelessness and petty crime reduced him to what the video captured.

That video went viral and made Williams, 53, a literal overnight sensation. By Jan. 6, he was on “Today.” He’s done “The Early

not change “whatFameyoudoes are; it only magnifies it.”

to flip a cigarette out the window, and there’s somebody that points at you. ... Remember, I, a week ago, was holding a sign where people wouldn’t give me the time of day.”

Not that it’s surprising his story resonated. This is a nation of long shots and second chances; it is in our DNA to root for underdogs.

So Williams has become a sort of national reclamation project.

But some of us, I suspect, unconsciously believe that fame — and its frequent companion, fortune — are enough to get the job done.

Williams himself seemed to buy into this. Consider a sequence from “Dr. Phil” where he faced the 29-year-old daughter he later had the argument with. Having left her behind for the joys of coke and booze when she was a child, he now promised to buy her a Louis Vuitton purse.

You don’t get to where Ted Williams got in his life unless you have some serious, as they say, issues — questions of character, dependency and emotional health. It is naive to believe those things can be fixed — for Williams or anyone who faces similar challenges — in a single lightning strike of overnight sensation.

Let us be glad Williams now has a second chance. But let us also hope his decision to go into rehab means he, at least, now understands better what fame can and cannot do.

It is nice to be famous. It is better to be whole.

Show,” “Jimmy Fallon,” “Dr. Phil,” “Entertainment Tonight” and has job offers from Kraft Foods, the Cleveland Cavaliers and MSNBC. Then came Jan. 10. Williams was in L.A. to tape an episode of “Dr. Phil” reuniting him with the family he abandoned. He and one of his adult daughters were briefly detained by police after a violent argument at a hotel. Williams has said he was two years clean and sober, but his daughter said he was drinking again. He denied it. Until two days later, when he canceled all his engagements and announced that he was entering rehab.

And was any of this not sadly predictable?

One is reminded of how divers who ascend too quickly from the depths sometimes get the bends.

To go from a freeway off-ramp to the “Today” show in three days is the metaphoric equivalent.

“It’s almost choking me,” he told the Dispatch.

— Leonard Pitts Jr. is a columnist for “People in rehab,” he told “ET,” “we’re fragile. ... You jump out of the Miami Herald. He chats with readers from noon to 1 p.m. CST each Wednesthis car, there’s a camera there, day on www.MiamiHerald.com. you roll down your window just

To the editor: The editorial “Poor example” (Jan. 13) asserts that the city is difficult for new business. The evidence offered is the denial of the rezoning sought by Lowe’s, which is claimed to cost the city 120 jobs and new sales taxes. This is not correct. The number of retails jobs is not a function of the number of stores. Rather, it is a function of the amount of retail spending which depends upon the income of the population. Adding new stores does not add income; it simply relocates that spending from old stores to the new ones, with no net gain in jobs.

The same is true for sales taxes. The vendors do not pay the sales taxes; the shoppers pay the taxes. Adding a Lowe’s would not add spending to the community; it would only relocate it from other vendors with no net gain in sales taxes.

The editorial claims that the city confronts a problem because of citizens who are opposed to growth. Growth of what? Too often, the proponents of growth use the term to mean growth in real estate. When developers build housing faster than population growth, older neighborhoods suffer. When developers build retail space faster than the growth in retail spending, older shopping centers suffer. When this happens, politically influential developers gain at the taxpayers’ expense.

What we need is growth in wages. This raises our standard of living. This is the growth we should pursue, not the growth of real estate beyond our needs.

OLD HOME TOWN

100

From the Lawrence Daily World for Jan. 16, 1911: “The glaze of sleet YEARS which coated all brick AGO pavements last night IN 1911 afforded perfect conditions for coasting.

Immediately after supper the students began gathering on hill sides with bobs, and by 9 o’clock the avenues were crowded with swiftly flying sleds. Several bunches of university students gathered on Indiana street with twelve foot bobs, where they proceeded to get away at a 30 mile clip for a full mile’s coast. … Today a great deal of complaint has been registered with the police, and tonight cops will be stationed on hill streets to forbid the sport. “ — Compiled by Sarah St. John

Sweating buckets

KANSAS FORWARD THOMAS ROBINSON (0) ROARS AFTER A DUNK AND A FOUL against Nebraska during the second half. Robinson helped the Jayhawks rebound from a 10-point second half deficit to take a 63-60 victory over the Cornhuskers on Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse.

Jayhawks survive scare from NU

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

It looked as if it might be time finally to wave bye-bye to Kansas University’s 68-game homecourt basketball win streak.

“When I did look up (at scoreboard), I was like, ‘Dang, they’ve got us by 10 points?’’’ incredulous KU junior guard Tyshawn Taylor said Saturday.

By “they,” he was referring to the defensive-minded Nebraska Cornhuskers, who dominated the backboards and controlled the pace in building a doubledigit lead with 16:22 left.

“Once we all saw that, we just locked in and did what we do. We got some easy buckets, caused some turnovers and got right back in it,” Taylor added.

Indeed, the No. 3-ranked Jayhawks (17-0, 2-0) used a 15-4 run to grab a one-point lead with 11:48 left and eked out a 63-60 victory

Self’s decisions win games, not fans

over the pesky Huskers (13-4, 1-2), who dropped their 12th straight game to KU in Allen Fieldhouse, where the Jayhawks have won 69 in a row ... and counting.

“Definitely you are sweating when you are down 10 at home.

There are not too many times we get down 10 to anybody,” said KU junior Marcus Morris, who scored 13 of his 16 points in the second half.

KU women hit road to face Cornhuskers J-W Staff Reports

LINCOLN , N EB . — Saturday, the Kansas University men’s basketball team escaped with a closerthan-expected three-point victory against Nebraska at Allen Fieldhouse.

Today, the Kansas women will try to complete KU’s weekend sweep when they tip off at 2 p.m. at Nebraska.

KU (14-2 overall, 1-1 Big 12) dropped its conference opener at home against Texas Tech, but bounced back Wednesday with a road victory against Colorado.

Nebraska (10-6, 0-2) enters on the heels of back-to-back losses to nationally ranked Oklahoma and Iowa State. Three Cornhuskers average double figures in scoring, including freshman Jordan Hooper at 15.3 points per game.

Kansas has owned several advantages over its opponents this season, but few have been as beneficial as the Jayhawks’ dominance at the free-throw line.

KU has gone to the line 402 times this year and made 270, 67.2 percent. KU’s opponents have been to the line just 245 times all season.

The Jayhawks are averaging 10

more trips to the free-throw line per contest than their opponents.

In this matchup, Kansas has the better numbers in 11 major categories. That includes points per game (77.8-69.1), pointsagainst (58.5-61.5), field-goal percentage (49-42.2), rebounds (43.6-40.3) and turnovers (15.917.6).

Kansas owns a 48-30 edge in

the all-time series, but coach Bonnie Henrickson’s squad will be looking for a little revenge today after being swept by the Cornhuskers last year.

Nebraska has won seven straight meetings against Kansas in Lincoln.

Today’s game will be shown on national television on FSN, available locally on cable channels 36 and 236.

Cards’ GM mum on Pujols contract

ST. L OUIS (AP) — Albert Pujols will sign autographs for $175 a pop today at the St. Louis Cardinals’ Winter Warmup. The team has until the start of spring training to get the three-time NL MVP to sign a new contract.

General manager John Mozeliak confirmed the deadline set by Pujols, but declined Saturday to

characterize negotiations. The Cardinals exercised a $16 million option for next season on Pujols’ contract in October.

Both sides want to keep the negotiations private. Pujols’ twohour autograph session, which will raise funds for Cardinal Care, is sold out.

“Really, we don’t want to sit here

and handicap or guess or kind of give any type of gut feel where this thing is headed right now,” Mozeliak said. “Hopefully in the near future it’s something we can talk more about, but right now I’m not prepared to.”

Although Cardinals chairman Bill DeWitt expressed confidence earlier this winter that the team

FREE STATE HIGH

could keep Pujols beyond 2011, Mozeliak said: “I don’t think it’s going to benefit anybody for me to weigh in at this point.”

The 30-year-old Pujols led the National League with 42 homers and 118 RBIs last season. He topped 400 career homers and set a franchise record with his 39th multihomer game.

COMMENTARY

Bears loss would go down as huge failure

By David Haugh Chicago Tribune

CHICAGO — Nothing illustrated the relaxed mind-set the Seahawks bring to Chicago better than coach Pete Carroll playfully answering a reporter’s cell phone earlier this week.

“Not now, this is a press conference,” Carroll quipped, hanging up. “Old friend from high school.”

The loose, celebratory tone that Carroll set suggested it could have been the president calling to offer congratulations for ousting the Saints. That win represented the Seahawks’ Super Bowl, after all.

A more serious call awaits Lovie Smith and the Bears at home today. A bad connection between preparation and execution at Soldier Field threatens to ruin four months of progress.

Given the stakes, losing the playoff opener here to a Seahawks team with nine losses would go down as the Bears’ biggest failure since Super Bowl XLI, Smith’s most dubious defeat.

Can you hear me now?

That’s just the way it works in pro sports. The thing about exceeding expectations, especially when least expected, is having to meet them with the pressure on.

And the pressure isn’t on the team that spent most of the week laughing about their good fortune between vanilla nofoam lattes.

Carroll bounced around like a guy excited about a play date more than the playoffs. He greeted the Chicago media during a conference call: “Hey, what’s up?”

You, dude. Fist bumps all around. Such a stress-free team can create anxiety for heavily favored opponents.

Meanwhile, only if the Bears win today will any of the compelling comparisons to the 2006 NFC champions be apt. If they lose, all of a sudden this team will take its undignified place alongside other underachieving one-and-done teases such as the ’05 and ’01 Bears.

So we interrupt any Chicagoans already polishing the cowboy boots for a Super trip toward their “destination,” down the “road” to Dallas for this travel update. It will be the Bears sent packing for the offseason unless they remember what got them this far.

Run the ball. Mix in the short passing game. Protect the football. Rush the passer. Tackle.

If the Bears do that as well as they did at times in the second half of the season, they will convince us that the de facto NFC championship game really wasn’t played Saturday night in Atlanta. If they don’t, Carroll’s own phone will be buzzing with well-wishers starting this afternoon around 3:30.

The Bears are better than the Seahawks and a more complete team than perhaps we have acknowledged in the weeks since they clinched a first-round bye. Now they have to prove it.

When the Bears opened the regular season at home against the Lions, I framed that as a must-win game because a loss would have affected much more than just the Bears’ record in the city. How appropriate that the Bears face the same reality in their first game of the postseason.

They can leave a message that they were right all along.

LHP Chen set to re-sign with Royals Santo statue to stand by Wrigley

KANSAS CITY, MO. — Free-agent pitcher Bruce Chen is set to re-sign with the Kansas City Royals, agreeing to a $2 million, one-year contract.

The team said Saturday that Chen’s deal is pending a physical.

The Cubs announced Saturday they will unveil a Santo statue outside their longtime home before their game against the Washington Nationals on Aug. 10.

Steelers rally for win

PITTSBURGH (AP) — A most f itting comeback for Ben Roethlisberger.

The Steelers quarterback connected on a 58-yard pass to rookie Antonio Brown with less than two minutes to go that ended any ideas the Ravens had of finally winning a playoff game against their division rivals.

Four plays later in the rough-and-tumble matchup, Rashard Mendenhall scored from two yards out with 1:33 left to lift the Steelers to a 3124 victory over the errorprone Ravens in Saturday’s AFC divisional playoff game.

Just before his biggest pass of the season, Roethlisberger said he told offensive coordinator Bruce Arians, “Let’s send him. Let’s just chuck it deep. If they pick it, it will be a pick way down there, just as good as a punt. ... I just throw it as far as I can.’”

He did. Brown made the biggest catch of his life, and the Steelers (13-4) are a victory away from their third Super Bowl in six seasons. The Steelers play the winner of today’s game between the New York Jets and New England Patriots.

Roethlisberger took his shots early from the Ravens’ defense but threw for 226 yards and two touchdowns before his big pass on thirdand-19.

“He may not be Brady or all those other guys, but when I see him in the huddle, I know we’ve got a chance to win,” said Hines Ward, who caught

Rodgers stars for Packers

ATLANTA (AP) — As Aaron Rodgers trotted off the field, savoring another playoff win, he was serenaded with chants of “Go, Pack, Go!” This wasn’t Lambeau Field, but it sure sounded like it.

Looking very much at home, Rodgers threw three touchdown passes, ran for another score and led the Green Bay Packers to their second straight postseason road victory with a stunning 48-21 rout of the top-seeded Atlanta Falcons on Saturday night.

“This just feels so good right now,” said Rodgers, who threw for 366 yards and led Green Bay to the highestscoring playoff game in its storied history.

The Packers (12-6) will have to win one more on the road to complete their improbable run from sixth seed to the Super Bowl, but nothing looks out of the question the way Rodgers is playing. He’ll lead Green Bay into the NFC championship game at either Chicago or Seattle next weekend.

“This probably was my best performance — the stage we were on, the importance of this game,” Rodgers said. “It was a good night.”

He completed 31 of 36 passes and put up more yards than Brett Favre — the guy he replaced in Green Bay — ever threw for in a playoff game.

After knocking off Michael Vick and the Eagles in Philadelphia, then dominating Matt Ryan and the Falcons in Atlanta, Rodgers is creating his own legacy in Titletown USA. Brett who?

Green Bay scored 35 consecutive points, including Tramon Williams’ 70-yard interception return on the final play of the first half that left the Falcons (13-4) and a crowd of more than 69,000 in a state of shock as the teams headed to the locker room.

The Packers could’ve left punter Tim Masthay at home.

He was never needed.

“It was one of those nights,” Rodgers said. “I felt like I was in the zone.”

Ryan, who beat out Rodgers for a spot in the Pro Bowl, had a miserable night. He also was picked off in the end zone, costing Atlanta another scoring chance early on that might’ve changed the complexion of the game, and lost a fumble attempting a simple sneak.

TODAY’S NFL PLAYOFF GAMES

Time for trash talking is over

FOXBOROUGH , M ASS . (AP) — Stop the chatter. It’s time for the sound that really matters.

The opening whistle.

“I think all the stuff that will be said up to that point won’t make a difference,” Deion Branch said.

The New England Patriots wide receiver heard the volleys from the New York Jets leading up to today’s divisional playoff game. That pumped up the volume on a rivalry between teams that split their two regular-season meetings but differ dramatically in pregame vocabulary.

“People can say and do what they want,” Jets linebacker Jason Taylor said. “I don’t think it has much bearing as to what happens on the field.”

To recap: Jets coach Rex Ryan said Indianapolis quarterback Peyton Manning studies more than Tom Brady. He also tacked a personal note onto the newest clash between teams with an avowed dislike for each other— it’s Ryan vs.

opponent the Seattle Seahawks are.

The Bears remember what happened the last time Seattle visited Soldier Field, so their guard was up heading into today’s divisional playoff game.

Losing to the Seahawks again would be a huge letdown for a team that earned the NFC North championship and a first-round bye. And when Seattle beat the Saints last week, that seemed like a good break for Chicago.

After all, the defending champions are out. Instead, the Bears (11-5) get the first division winner with a losing record.

“We know what happened in the first game,” Pro Bowl linebacker Lance Briggs said, referring to a 23-20 loss in October.

They saw what happened to the Saints, too.

They saw a Seahawks team Bears wary of Seattle that went 7-9 and needed a L A K E F O R E S T , I L L . — The win at home over St. Louis to Chicago Bears know first- get into the playoffs pull off a hand how dangerous of an stunning upset.

Patriots coach Bill Belichick.

Then cornerback Antonio Cromartie used a word found in no respectable dictionary, calling Brady an expletive.

The Patriots largely refrained from entering the fray, preferring to read and react. A pokerfaced Patriots wide receiver Wes Welker made several references to feet in his news conference Thursday, interpreted by some as a dig at recent footfetish reports involving Ryan.

“I’m not going to discuss it,” an unusually reticent Ryan said, “but I can take it.”

But can the Jets take what the Patriots dish out on the field — the passing of Brady and an improving young defense that gave the Patriots an NFL-best 14-2 record, eight wins to close the regular season and a league-leading 32.4 points per game?

Robinson helps KU rebound

By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

Kansas University forward Thomas Robinson sat on the bench most of the first half wishing he could help out his teammates against Nebraska’s big men.

“It made me really, really mad,” Robinson said, “seeing that we got beat on the glass like that.”

Following the Jayhawks’ 63-60 victory on Saturday, Robinson emerged as one of the biggest reasons his team was able to reverse its fortunes on the boards — and in the game.

After playing six scoreless minutes in the first half with one rebound, Robinson exploded for nine points, four rebounds and three blocks in the second half in just nine minutes.

Though KU was outrebounded, 43-32, overall, Robinson helped KU to a 2019 rebounding advantage in the second half.

“I just basically had to break that little slump of mine,” Robinson said.

The 6-foot-9 forward hadn’t played as well after sitting out the UMKC contest on Jan. 5 to attend his grandmother’s funeral.

Against Michigan and Iowa State, Robinson had combined for just 15 minutes with six turnovers.

“Just those two games, my

luck went the wrong way,” Robinson said. “I was in foul trouble down at Iowa State.

Michigan … I couldn’t really get into the flow of the game.

I really didn’t lose my edge at all.”

Still, Robinson admitted that he didn’t want his “slump” to carry on much longer.

“I’ve been playing well so far this season for a majority of the games, and to not be playing the last couple games, it didn’t affect me at all,” Robinson said. “I just didn’t want it to keep affecting me and keep going, to become a trend (where) I’m not playing good anymore.”

Robinson’s points Saturday were momentum-changers, as all four of his field goals came either on layups with fouls or dunks.

“I told our team I thought Marcus (Morris) played well the second half, and of course Tyrel (Reed) was terrific, but Thomas really won the game,” KU coach Bill Self said. “He gave us the energy that really got the crowd into the game.”

After both of his dunks, Robinson celebrated by yelling to the crowd.

“Half the time, I don’t know I’m screaming,” Robinson said. “I don’t know. I guess you just black out ... I black out Nick Krug/Journal-World Photos sometimes when I dunk and feel like I’m in there by KANSAS FORWARD THOMAS ROBINSON COMES DOWN FROM A DUNK against Nebraska. myself.”

Robinson’s big second half helped KU beat the Huskers, 63-60, on Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

KU overcame a double-digit deficit in the second half (in a victory) for the first time since a 67-55 decision over NU on Feb. 24, 2002, in Lincoln.

Morris’ dunk with 5:51 left — which was followed by slams by Thomas Robinson (nine points, five boards) and Markieff Morris (seven points, seven boards) — helped KU claim its biggest lead, 58-52, with 3:07 left.

“At the end we put everything on the line and gave everything we had. I think we wanted it a little bit more,” Morris said, adding in his next breath, “Nebraska’s a great team. I felt they never were going to go away.”

Marcus foolishly fouled Eshaunte Jones moments later on a three-point basket.

Jones swished the free throw to reduce the gap seriously to 58-56 at 2:37.

“Anything the refs call is what the refs call,” Morris said, not disputing the whistle. “I think he (Jones) kind of kicked his legs out when I ran into his legs, but I haven’t really been guarding that much on the wing. It was kind of a dumb play by me, but it was (also) a good flop by him.”

Marcus then hit the boards hard in following a Mario Little miss to give KU a 60-56 lead at 2:11.

“That tip-in by Marcus was a big-time play,” KU coach Bill Self assessed.

we really competed hard,” Self added.

He cited Robinson’s hustle and board work the second half as a key to KU handing NU its 16th straight loss to KU, 12th straight in Allen.

“He posted strong, got a couple touches in tight, got offensive rebounds in transi-

tion,” Self said of Robinson.

“It wasn’t offense as much as broken plays. That’s how you win games. You have to have guys make plays when they are broken. When the ball is in the air, who gets it? We finally won the majority of those the last five to 10 minutes.”

Self primarily used Reed and Brady Morningstar in the backcourt along with the Morris twins, Robinson and Little during the second half.

Josh Selby didn’t play the final 16 minutes.

“Hopefully this was just a youth game, so to speak,” Self said.

Freshman guard Selby had three points and four turnovers with no assists in 13 minutes.

“The bottom line is, you have to win the game,” Self said. “You have to make sure when things aren’t going well, you put your team in position where you can still win by doing some things.”

It was a narrow victory against an NU team that went 2-14 in the Big 12 last year.

“Our Big 12 — and fans may say we played poorly and we did play poorly — but our Big 12 is a lot like the NFL in that anybody can beat anybody any day. There are no games you circle and say, ‘This is for sure a win,’ especially when you’re well-coached and tough. Doc (Sadler) has those guys playing,” Self said.

KU will travel to Baylor for an 8:35 p.m tipoff on Monday in Waco, Texas.

Sadler fond of Allen ——

Though winless there, NU coach fan of fieldhouse

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

For the past f ive years, Nebraska basketball coach Doc Sadler has come into Allen Fieldhouse and gone home with a loss.

The trend continued Saturday, as Kansas University held on to beat Nebraska, 63-60, and sent Sadler and the Cornhuskers out losers in their final game in Lawrence before bolting the Big 12 for the Big Ten next season.

Asked after the game if he would miss his annual trips to one of college basketball’s cathedrals, Sadler answered with an emphatic yes.

“How could you not miss coming here?” Sadler said.

“You talk about the passion in this building. Wow. It’s like coming to (Nebraska’s) Memorial Stadium in football.

To have a chance to play in Allen Fieldhouse … you’ve gotta be kidding me. To coach in it … you’ve got to be kidding me. Unbelievable.”

Pretty kind words from a coach who has never won at KU’s historic home court.

Kansas owns four of the 10 biggest margins of victory alltime against Nebraska; the Jayhawks have won 16 straight in the series and 30 of 33 meetings since the inception of the Big 12; and NU has not defeated KU since 2004.

Stats like those made losing in their final try tough for several Cornhuskers.

Taking the loss especially hard was sophomore forward Brandon Ubel, who played his high school ball at Blue Valley West in Overland Park and grew up going to games at Allen Fieldhouse.

“I really wanted to get that win,” Ubel said. “We were so close. We came in with the idea of winning the game, and it’s definitely disappointing.

The fact that I’m not going to be able to come back here and give it another go is one of the more disappointing things.”

Nebraska is 23-88 all-time in Lawrence, including a 7-51 mark at KU’s current home arena. The last time the Cornhuskers won at Kansas was in 1999.

That almost changed Saturday, as a scrappy bunch of Cornhuskers took Kansas to the wire. Nebraska led, 30-25 at halftime, owned a 10-point advantage at one point in the second half and outrebounded Kansas, 43-32, including 199 on the offensive glass.

“That was kind of the gameplan, to keep ’em off the boards,” Ubel said.

Despite the final outcome, Ubel said playing in Lawrence two years in a row was something he’d always remember.

“It’s def initely a dream come true,” he said. “I grew up coming into Allen Fieldhouse watching Paul Pierce, Nick Collison and all those guys.

Coming in here’s amazing, but, obviously, we hoped for a different result.”

Self’s decisions more successful than popular CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

than one 69-game stretch.

Self places that much urgency on any one game, and he’ll follow his feel, and his alone, in terms of how to win that day’s game.

The second half of Saturday’s thrilling 63-60 victory against a confident Nebraska team illustrated as well as any game during the streak that the only pressure Self ever feels during 40 minutes of any conference game is the pressure to win, and it’s Self-imposed pressure.

Three minutes into the second half, Kansas had not attempted a shot and trailed, 35-25. Here’s how each possession ended to that point of the half: 1. Turnover

Tyshawn Taylor. 2. Turnover Josh Selby. 3. Turnover Selby.

4. Turnover Elijah Johnson. 5.

Turnover Johnson.

Ideally, Self would like to play three perimeter players, all of whom have pointguard skills. Self won this one by going for a long stretch with two shooting guards, Brady Morningstar and Tyrel Reed, and three post players, choosing from among Marcus and Markieff Morris, Thomas Robinson and Mario Little. The twins and Robinson scored 28 of their combined 32 points in the game’s final 16:06, when Marcus and Robinson asserted themselves in a big way.

Reed’s second three-pointer of the half forced Nebraska to stretch its defense and opened

things up for the big men. But as much as that, the two senior guards, both native Kansans and not national recruits, made simple plays without turning it over, were able to get the ball to the post players and made winning plays from broken plays. KU didn’t turn it over in the final 16 minutes.

In consecutive Allen Fieldhouse win No. 69, Reed (16 points) and Morningstar combined for six assists and no turnovers. Taylor, Selby and Johnson combined for three assists and 10 turnovers. In a future game, probably not the too-distant future, those three will carry Kansas to victory while Morningstar and Reed watch. That’s the way it goes on a deep team with a coach

who has the guts to ride hot hands at the playing-time expense of bigger names.

Asked if he had been trying to make a point when he left Selby on the bench the final 16 minutes, Self was a little surprised at the question.

“I’m trying to win the game,” he said. “There was no coaching point or anything like that going on. I’m just trying to win the game. That’s what coaches do this time of year. The teaching and that kind of stuff, you do it all along, but certainly, that’s a lot easier to do nonconference than it is conference.”

Self went with the players he trusted to make winning plays.

“Bottom line is you’ve got to win the game, and you

have to make sure when things aren’t going well, you put your team in a position where you can still win by doing things,” Self said.

Morningstar didn’t score a point and misfired on three of his three-point shots, but made a trio of standout plays.

He jumped to save a ball from going out of bounds in the corner and delivered an on-the-money pass before landing. He soared to block a shot into the stands. He saved another ball from going out of bounds near midcourt, and with his back to him, fired a pass to Markieff Morris near the baseline. Markieff rifled a diagonal pass to Reed, who stepped into it to bury a three-pointer and ignite the crowd with 12:58 left.

“The crowd was about as loud as it’s been since I’ve been here when he hit that shot,” Morningstar said.

KU’s next nine field goals came from considerably closer: four on dunks, the other five on drives to the hoop. Morningstar played the facilitator.

“I’m probably shooting the ball as bad as a human can shoot the ball right now,” said Morningstar, shooting .242 from long range this season, compared to .415 for his career coming into his senior year. “But in order to get out of the slump, I’m going to keep shooting and shooting.

When I’m not making shots, I’m trying to find other ways to help us win.”

Trying and succeeding.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON PETITION FOR DETERMINATION OF RATEMAKING PRINCIPLES AND TREATMENT RELATED TO WIND ENERGY PURCHASE POWER AGREEMENTS Westar Energy, Inc. and Kansas Gas and Electric Company (collectively Westar) has filed an application with the Kansas Corporation Commission (KCC) for a determination of ratemaking principles and treatment that will apply to the recovery in rates of the costs to be incurred by Westar pursuant to power purchase agreements for the purchase of wind energy.

Public Hearings The KCC has scheduled three public hearing sites to allow Westar customers the opportunity to ask questions and make comments about the application:

Selby sits Kansas University freshman Josh Selby, who had three points, four turnovers, one steal and no assists, sat the final 16 minutes. The combo guard was into the game emotionally, cheering as KU overcame a 10-point second-half deficit.

“I talked to him in the locker room. He is not that disappointed. I mean, we got the win,” KU junior Marcus Morris said. “After a while, you have bad games, but you can’t let bad games affect the team, affect anybody else.

“He’s like my little brother so I can talk to him and tell him, ‘Let that game go. We got the win. You had to sit out for a little bit, but hey, come back next game, come back to practice tomorrow ready to go and be ready Monday (at Baylor),’’’ Morris added.

KU junior Tyshawn Taylor also spoke with Selby in the locker room after the game.

“Josh is good. I don’t have to tell him much. He’s always ready to play,” Taylor said. “It’s coach’s decision. The five he (coach Bill Self) had in the game he felt was working so he stayed with it. It happens a lot with people. He’s cool, not moping around, not pouting about it.

“Josh understands,” Taylor added. “He knew how it was going, how he was playing at the time. We are all about winning. As long as we do that, everybody is happy. He’ll bounce back and play better next game.”

Releford update Travis Releford (ankle sprain) missed his second straight game. Self said Releford was doubtful for Monday’s game at Baylor. It’s expected he’ll be back for next Saturday’s home game vs. Texas.

Any person requiring special accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act needs to give notice to the Commission at least 10 days before the scheduled hearing date.

Westar’s Predetermination Request In 2009, the Kansas Legislature adopted the Renewable Energy Standards (RES) Act. For calendar years 2011 through 2015, the RES Act requires each utility to serve its loads with renewable energy resources with a name plate capacity equal to 10 percent of the utility’s average retail peak demand for the three preceding years. The RES requirement grows to 15 percent for calendar years 2016 through 2019 and to 20 percent for calendar years 2020 and thereafter.

To meet these standards, Westar estimates it needs a total of 1,000 MW of renewable generation in place by 2020.

The company currently has 301 MW of renewable energy generation (295 MW by wind and 6 MW by landfill gas), which means it will be required to add 700 MW (approximately) over the next 10 years as projected below: s -7 OF RENEWABLE GENERATION BY *ULY

(growing to 200 MW by 2015 as its average peak demand grows) s -7 BY *ULY

s -7 BY *ULY

Westar proposes to enter into power purchase agreements (PPAs) for 369 MW of wind generation with two site developers in Kansas in order to comply with the RES Act requirements. These agreements will have 20-year terms commencing when the projects are completed and placed into service. Westar anticipates the in-service date of the wind resources will be in the latter half of 2012.

Westar has asked the Commission to determine that: 1) Westar’s proposal to purchase 369 MW of wind generation is prudent; 2) The 369 MW of wind generation Westar will acquire will be considered used and useful for the provision of service to Westar’s customers; 3) The costs associated with the purchase of this wind energy can be recovered through Westar’s Retail Energy Cost Adjustment (RECA).

Westar estimates that if the PPAs are approved, the average retail customer would experience a rate increase of approximately 13 one-thousands of one cent per kWh, or approximately 1.7 percent.

KU swimming team wins in Nebraska LINCOLN, NEB. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Kansas University swimming and diving team won 14 of 16 events as the Jayhawks defeated Nebraska, 180.5-114.5, Saturday in Devaney Natatorium.

KU is 7-5 in dual competition and 1-1 in the Big 12.

Senior Iuliia Kuzhil and freshman Alison Lusk both won two events in the Jayhawksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; victory.

Kansas coach Clark Campbell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It came at the end of a very tough week, and our athletes performed well. Nebraska was ready for us, and we answered their challenge.â&#x20AC;?

GriefShare at First Christian Church It may be hard for you to feel optimistic about the future right now. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lost a spouse, child, family member or friend, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve probably found that there are not many people who understand the deep hurt you feel.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the reason for GriefShare, a special seminar and support group for people grieving the death of someone close.

Each GriefShare session includes a video featuring top experts on grief and recovery subjects.

Schedule Thursdays, Jan. 20-April 21, 2011, 3:30-5:30 p.m. at First Christian Church, 1000 Kentucky, Lawrence, KS. Evening sessions as requested. Class fee is $20.

fabled birds 44 Scottish Celt

Silence about molestation potentially harmful Dear Annie: I was repeatedly molested by my older brother when I was a child.

Like most children in those circumstances, I lived in fear and told no one.

Therapy finally helped me realize that living with the secret was killing me. Having to see my brother on the holidays and pretend to be happy in front of everyone was more than I could handle. So I made him confess to our parents.

Their response? They said, “He never abused anyone else and never will.” But, Annie, I am concerned for his wife’s young nieces. They have no idea what he is capable of.

I have forgiven my brother, but I’d be crazy to trust him.

And even though he said he was sorry, it doesn’t mean he is cured. He abused me even after he married. My parents don’t want his wife to know because “it will ruin their marriage.” I suppose it’s possible he will never touch another person, but I also don’t believe it is fair to place innocent children in his path to f ind out. I want those around him to be aware that this is an illness you cannot turn your back on.

I know my parents’ response is not unusual, but it breaks my heart. I have become the black sheep in the family because I cannot let it go. What should I do? —

Annie’s Mailbox

about this, Annie, but they are so protective that I’m afraid they won’t allow it. I will be 18 and can do what I want, but both my boyfriend and I prefer not to strain my relationship with my parents. What do I do? — Senior Needing Help in Kentucky

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

Dear Senior: We’re going to ask you not to do this. We know you love your boyfriend. But the first year of college can bring tremendous changes to both of you. By living with your boyfriend, you are cutting off opportunities

anniesmailbox@creators.com

Prayerful in Pennsylvania Dear Pennsylvania: By protecting your brother, your parents are putting at risk all young children he is close to, including future grandchildren. Tell your brother that he must admit the molestation to his wife or you will tell her. He might want to do it with the assistance of a counselor or clergyperson.

Dear Annie: I am a senior in high school. My boyfriend and I have been together for a long time, and we love each other very much. We are attending colleges that are about 30 minutes apart. We want to get an apartment between the campuses so we can live together. This would be much cheaper than paying for room and board.

I’d like to talk to my parents

Golden Globes have gained luster over years Ricky Gervais returns to host the 68th annual Golden Globe Awards (7 p.m., NBC).

Red-carpet shenanigans begin at 6 p.m.

Much like the Miss America pageant that aired Saturday, these proceedings have evolved over the years. For decades, they were considered a slightly obscure joke, ridiculed for the fact that a tiny clique of foreign journalists called the shots. And there were more than a few hints that they could be “persuaded” to vote for certain nominees.

Around the late 1980s, the Globes were broadcast live on TBS on Saturday evenings. Relatively low-key and given little more status than the Cable ACE Awards, they seemed to be a genuine party, an event where you could watch boldfaced names have one too many and let their hair down.

Since moving to NBC, the Globes have grown increasingly slick and fashion-conscious, one more lockstep in the forced march to Oscar Night. ● It has been suggested that people who consume marijuana are frequently beset by cravings for snacks, a state known in stoner parlance as “the munchies.” The two-night special “Drugged” (7 p.m., National Geographic, concludes Monday) examines the impact of certain narcotics on the body. A part of the series “Inside the Living Body,” “Drugged” explains why smoking marijuana makes one’s eyes red and why cocaine gives some people a feeling of invincibility, and how and why ecstasy triggers feelings of emotional warmth and sociability. (Not to mention lowering one’s resistance to nightlong doses of dreadful music.) ● “Scandalous” (9 p.m., TLC) looks at disgraced minister Ted Haggard and his family as they prepare to open a new ministry in Colorado Springs, Colo.

Once the head of the National Association of Evangelicals, Haggard was seen as a major force in both religion and politics.

Knocked from his perch after revelations of dalliances with a gay prostitute and methamphetamine abuse, Haggard has been down but not out. And while he may have licked his drug demons, his addiction to cameras continues. This is at least the second documentary (including Alexandra Pelosi’s 2009 HBO film “The Trials of Ted Haggard”) to follow his rise and fall and stabs at redemption. ● The lavish Showtime series “The Tudors” moves to BBC America with a marathon showing of seasons one and two, beginning at 8 a.m. today. “The Tudors” will air regularly at 9 p.m. on Tuesday. ● Bill’s election victory and loss of privacy loom large as “Big Love” (8 p.m., HBO) begins its fifth and final season.

Tonight’s highlights ● The Seahawks and Bears meet in the NFC Divisional Playoff Game (noon, Fox). ● The Patriots and Jets meet in the AFC Divisional Playoff Game (3:30 p.m., CBS). ● Scheduled on “60 Minutes” (6 p.m., CBS): the Tucson shooting; inside the mind of assassins; the sports bettor who worries Las Vegas. ● A dashing Turkish visitor attracts much attention on “Downton Abbey,” part two of four, on “Masterpiece Mystery” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings). ● Tempers rise at the roller-derby rink on “CSI: Miami” (9 p.m., CBS). ● Tommy returns on “Brothers and Sisters” (9 p.m., ABC).

For Sunday, Jan. 16: This year, use a sense of caution well, knowing when to back off. Extremes mark this period, with a sense of indulgence often emerging. If you are single, do carefully check out anyone you relate to. Someone might not be the person you think he or she is. If you are attached, the two of you benefit from private time together. Gemini always has another idea!

You also often have insights that seem quite foreign to others. Tonight: Enjoy the ones you are with.

Texas A&M’s nondescript team built on defense may have finally found its star, even if he would prefer to sink into the shadows.

“Before overtime I told him: ‘Just take over the game,”’ coach Mark Turgeon said. “He took over.”

The Aggies (16-1, 3-0 Big 12) trailed by one before Middleton swiped the ball from Marcus Denmon and converted a layup with 34 seconds remaining. Missouri had a chance to go in front again, but had another costly turnover.

Middleton made three free throws to extend the lead to 91-87, and MU’s Laurence Bowers had a tip-in at the buzzer for the final margin.

“He did a good job,” Missouri coach Mike Anderson said of Middleton. “He answered every time we made a play.”

The Tigers (15-3, 1-2) were ahead 87-85 after a threepointer by Denmon with about 90 seconds left in OT. B.J. Holmes made one of two free throws before Middleton’s bucket.

Middleton, who leads the Aggies with 15.8 points per game, played down his overtime performance.

“I was kind of feeling it,” he said. “I don’t think I was really feeling it. I just really wanted to win.”

Middleton was 4-for-5 in overtime, and his only miss was his first shot, an errant layup.

People say I look like... My friend Rachel, and Zooey Deschanel when I have bangs.

Long before mezzo-soprano singer Joyce Castle became a professor at Kansas University, the School of Music created a major just for her: Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre and Voice.

It turned out to be wise decision.

After graduating from KU, Castle has gone on to represent her alma mater well with a long and illustrious career.

She has performed on stages around the world — the Metropolitan Opera, the Kennedy Center, the National Opera in Washington, Teatro Regio di Torino, the Théâtre du Capitole in Toulouse, France, and the De Vlaamse Opera in Antwerp, Belgium, among many others.

In a profile of Castle published recently in Opera News, composer Jake Heggie said, “she has real star quality — that special something that makes you love her, care about her and want to know more about her from the moment she walks onstage.

What: Mezzo-soprano and professor of voice Joyce Castle celebrates her 40th year of performance with a concert of a collection of works including “The Hawthorn Tree,” a piece written specifically for Castle by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer William Bolcom.

When: 7:30 p.m. Jan. 26 Where: Lied Center, KU’s West Campus Admission: Free, all ages performance with a free concert at the Lied Center on Jan. 26. To commemorate her ruby anniversary, she will perform “The Hawthorn Tree,” a song cycle composed for her by William Bolcom, winner of the Pulitzer Prize, National Medal of Arts and numerous Grammy awards.

The songs were created from poems by women. “[Bolcom] told me, ‘I want to show your range of emotions,’” Castle says. “ I was surprised that he, in my opinion, got me.”

She premiered the piece in New York last year.

“It was a real thrill,” she says. “A big a experience. A lot of emotion. To do a New York world premiere for a composer who is a Grammy- and Pulitzer-Prize winner. Before that

walk out on the stage, I had to take a big breath.”

Castle first attended an opera when she was a high school student. Her sister, who was then a student at Baker University, took her to Kansas City to see “La Boheme.”

She already knew then she wanted to be a singer.

“Lots of singers know at an early age,” she says. “People say, ‘You sing?

Sing for us.’”

“My life is music,” she adds.

Her night at the opera, however, was particularly inspiring.

“In my opinion, opera is just the ultimate,” she says. “It’s the hardest. It asks so much of the voice — to stand up with a full orchestra, without the aid of a microphone, and tell these wonderful, wonderful stories.”

Castle returned to Kansas in 2001 to teach.

“They lured me back,” she says. “I consider it my home now.

“It’s very good for me to teach,” she adds. “It’s quite a fascinating profession, because each voice is so very different.”

Being a professor offers her an opportunity to give back some of what she has been given through her career in music. The same is true for her upcoming concert.

“I’m very thankful for the support the Lawrence and Baldwin communities have given me all these years. We hope to give them a good show.”

This family needs insurance with humiliation clause

T

he other day, we got a letter from our insurance company informing us of changes to our personal umbrella liability policy.

“You need to read this,” my husband said, tossing the fourpage document into my lap.

“Do I HAVE to?!?” I whined like a 3-year-old. “I HATE insurance stuff. I get narcoleptic just thinking about it.”

I come by my aversion to the insurance industry honestly. I was force-fed the concept of risk management at an early age. My dad was an insurance man. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Every piano, ballet and swimming lesson I enjoyed was paid for by Property and Casualty commissions.

I am grateful for insurance.

And, that my family has never suffered for lack of coverage.

Still, I’d rather spend a Saturday afternoon depilating my nostrils than trying to deconstruct a revised liability policy.

“Just read it,” my co-insured insisted.

I took a deep, cleansing breath and skimmed the pages, front and back, my eyes landing on statements like: “We now provide coverage from injury from pollutants caused by hostile fire.”

“We now exclude a loss arising from the exposure of fungus and bacteria.

“Exclusion M now applies to any activity that is sexual in

nature. We emphasize that corporal punishment is excluded.”

“Wow,” I said, now acutely interested in reading the original Exclusion M in its entirety.

“This is fascinating stuff. And I should care because…?”

“Look at the first page,” he said. “At the bottom.”

I found it in “Definitions” under “Coverage Restrictions”: “‘Personal injury’ no longer includes the word ‘humiliation.’

Humiliation is no longer a covered loss.”

(Yes. Seriously. ) “WELL!” I said sarcastically.

“Clearly we need to find another insurance carrier.”

“My thoughts exactly,” my husband replied in dead earnest. “Thank God nothing happened at our last party.”

He referred to my enthusiastic, but perhaps misguided, attempt to recreate a birthday party from our youth for a 60year-old friend. I had forced our middle-aged pals to play

Pin the Tail on the Donkey and Musical Chairs, the latter on furniture that was, in some cases, held together with carpenter’s glue and a prayer.

“I worried all night that someone would fall and break a hip,” my spouse lamented.

“That Musical Chairs game got aggressive, and we’re not young anymore. And you were merciless in Pin the Tail on the Donkey. You blindfolded a 60-yearold man, spun him around like a dervish and pushed him toward a glass door!”

“But nobody got hurt,” I insisted. “Besides, our friends wouldn’t SUE us over losing a little dignity. These guys bring flatulence machines to our tailgates. Dignity’s a moving target with this bunch.”

“Yeah, but what about other people? Opportunists who might take issue with some of your antics?”

“Antics? What antics!?”

OK, he had a point. I come from a family with a long history of humiliating our guests. The whole clan loved nothing more than to embarrass my siblings and my unsuspecting friends.

Sometimes, it would involve costumes, or a coating of Saran Wrap on the toilet seat. Other times, it was a good old-fashioned jumpout-of-the-closet, make-youwet-your-pants scare. Whatever it was, comedy would always ensue.

Once, when my sister’s habitually late suitor kept us waiting at the dinner table for more than 20 minutes, we broke out the grocery bags and Magic Markers.

Sheepishly, the young man walked into the dining room to see his future wife and her entire family of seven with the words “YOU’RE LATE!” written on brown

sacks on our heads. Hilarious!

The tradition continued through my adulthood (and I use the word loosely.) I loved nothing more than to hide all the toilet paper so my kids and their beerdrinking buds would have to cry for help from the bathroom. Hysterical!

“And what about how you behave in basketball season?” my husband continued. “Don’t you think it’s humiliating to make people genuflect under the mantle?”

“Everyone knows that’s the shrine to the almighty Jayhawk! A little respect is only proper. Nobody has ever complained!” I shot back.

“All I’m saying is, humiliation is a subjective thing,” he insisted. “You have to be careful not to make anyone feel like a chump. We’re not covered anymore!”

“Well, if I were you, I’d be more worried about exposure to fungus and bacteria,”

ARTS NOTES ‘Skin Deep’ to open at Theatre Lawrence A romantic comedy by Jon Lonoff kicks off the new year for Theatre Lawrence, 1501 N.H. In “Skin Deep,” a large, lovable, lonely-heart, named Maureen Mulligan, gives romance one last shot on a blind-date with sweet awkward Joseph Spinelli. She's learned to pepper her speech with jokes to hide insecurities about her weight and appearance, while he's almost dangerously forthright, saying everything that comes to his mind. They both know they're perfect for each other, and in time they come to admit it.

Topeka newcomers to Theatre Lawrence, Dorianne Rees and Raymond Remp Jr., take on the roles of Maureen and Joe. Jane Henry and Charles Decedue co-star.

The show is under the direction of Charles Whitman, assisted by Jeff Blair. Set design is by Jack Riegle and lighting design by Ron Chinn.

Opening night audiences are invited to a reception at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, catered by Panda Garden.

Showtimes are 7:30 p.m.

Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Jan. 27-29. Sunday matinees are 2:30 p.m. Jan. 23 and Jan. 30. For more information, call 843-SHOW or visit www.theatrelawrence.com.

LAC announces artist discussion As part of the Lawrence Arts Center’s Insight Art Talk Series, current exhibitors Rick Mitchell and Susan Grace will speak with audiences at 7 p.m.

Thursday.

Mitchell is currently showing “Note to Self,” a photography exhibit committed to “pure visual investigation.” Grace is showing “Metamorphasis,” a painting exhibit of figures, usually female, frequently wrapped, preserved and protected in some fashion.

The event, which is free and open to the public, will take place at Lawrence Arts Center, 940 N.H. Works by Mitchell and Grace are on display through Feb. 5.

Play submissions sought at EMU Theatre Writers are encouraged to submit plays for EMU Theatre’s upcoming one-acts show as well as its full 2011-2012 season. Ten-minute features, oneacts and feature-length plays will be considered.

Submissions will be reviewed by the EMU Theatre selection committee, with notifications of accepted works to come in early February.

Electronic submissions are preferred, sent to info@emutheatre.net, but hard copies also may be mailed to the Lawrence Arts Center c/o EMU Theatre, 940 New Hampshire, Lawrence 66049.

940 Dance plans show ‘Transformations’ The 940 Dance Company will present “Transformations” at 7 p.m. Jan. 25 at the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 N.H. The concert is dedicated to and inspired by the residents, families and staff at First Step at Lakeview, a residential program for those recovering from substance abuse.

A panel discussion will precede the performance at 6 p.m. as part of the Dialogues in Dance series, co-sponsored by the Lawrence Arts Center and the Lied Center. This panel will focus on the transformative power of dance. Panelists include Christie Dobson, drama therapist; Maura Michelle Garcia, founder and artistic director, “Mixed Blood Woman”; and Susan Rieger, artistic director, 940 Dance Company/licensed therapist.

The concert includes the six company members performing six works by various choreographers. “Five Chapters,” choreographed by Candi Baker, uses the text of a poem about recovery as the foundation of this dance. “Back to You” is a duet by company member Justin Hundley, in which the characters struggle with an unhealthy relationship. “Sword of Damocles” is a theatrical piece by company director Susan Rieger, which explores destiny, the passage of time and near-misses with death.

“Interior Landscapes,” also by Rieger, uses the music of John Lurie to traverse the fluid moods/states of an individual.

“TV: A Work in Progress,” a comical dance by company member Bobbi Foudree, reflects on the effects of chronic TV viewing. And finally, the company will end with the magical “Prismatica,” where the audience is provided with fireworks glasses which change the way we see, a metaphor for assisting us with making changes in our lives.

This hourlong concert is open to the public. Tickets are $5.

I countered. “That’s not covered either, and I haven’t scrubbed the shower in weeks. Now, bring me our original policy. I’ll save that Exclusion M for a little latenight reading.”

LEXINGTON, K.Y., author Kim Edwards, pictured July 18, 2008, is the author of the best-seller “The Memory Keeper’s Daughter” and the upcoming “The Lake of Dreams.”

The memory keeper Kim Edwards talks about unexpected success

Chelsea Taylor, relationship manager, Lawrence “‘Deadly Sanctuary’ by Sylvia Nobel. It’s about a reporter who moves to a small town in Arizona and is put on a task to uncover a scandal.”

Chris Teefey, master’s student, Lawrence “I’m reading mostly textbooks. None are really better than the others.”

Joseph Ayon, fifth-grader, Lawrence “‘The Janitor’s Boy’ by Andrew Clements. It’s about a boy. His dad is a janitor, and he makes a mess. He doesn’t like that his dad is a janitor.”

By Allen Pierleoni McClatchy Newspapers

Rarely does a writer immersed in the world of academia publish a first novel that becomes an international success, but that’s what happened to Kim Edwards.

In 2005, the University of Kentucky creative-writing professor followed her award-winning 1997 shortstory collection “The Secrets of a Fire King” with “The Memory Keeper’s Daughter,” which enjoyed 122 weeks on the New York Times’ best-seller list and moved on to be published in 38 other countries.

Now she’s followed that with “The Lake of Dreams,” set in the heavily touristed Finger Lakes region of upstate New York, where Edwards grew up.

After she graduated from Colgate University and the University of Iowa, she and her husband, professor of English Thomas Clayton, spent five years teaching in Asia. Back in the United States, they taught at the University of Pittsburgh for four years before moving to Lexington, Ky., 15 years ago, to take teaching positions there.

The author talks with McClatchy Newspapers about her success:

Q:

While researching “Memory Keeper’s

Daughter,” you’ve said, you learned a lot about Down syndrome, photography and the prehistoric geography of Kentucky. What about “The Lake of Dreams,” with its interwoven mysteries involving images in stained-glass windows and the women’s suffrage movement?

A:

For one thing, I went to a glass-blowing studio in Louisville, Ky. I watched the whole process for a couple of days, tried it myself. I gave that experience to Lucy. And I did a lot of library research about stained glass and its history.

I grew up a stone’s throw from where the suffragette movement had its initial impulse — Seneca Falls in 1848. To read historical accounts and biographies as an adult and revisit familiar places (around the Finger Lakes) was an exciting thing for me to do. Knowing the geography of the area so well helped me make the leaps in time in the book.

Q. You have a full-time job and a family. When do you write?

A. I’ve been on unpaid leave from the University of Kentucky for the past two years, which has helped create writing time. I simply couldn’t handle everything.

It got to a point where “Memory Keeper’s Daugh-

Q. “Memory Keeper’s Daughter” is still a favorite with book clubs.

A. It is, but I was totally in shock and awe (over its unexpected success). Of course, lurking in the corners of the minds of every writer is, “Wouldn’t it be nice if ... ?” It was like being struck by lightning or hitting the lottery — something you don’t really expect would ever happen to you in real life.

Before “Memory Keeper’s Daughter” became such a hit, I was happy and felt like a very successful author.

“Secrets of a Fire King” had been published to great reviews and sold well, as far as story collections go (it won a Whiting Award, a Nelson Algren Award, and was an alternate for 1998 PEN/Hemingway Award).

I’d written a novel, I had a good teaching position, so life was good. To have readers respond in such a passionate way to “Memory Keeper’s Daughter” was tremendous.

Q. What struck the chord?

A. Everyone would love to know the answer to that.

Generally, I think it had something to do with the

REVIEW

ways family secrets resonate with people — things in the past that have helped define the present. (The notion) of people finding out information that changed the perception of who they are.

Q. Was there a lot of that during book tours?

A. Yes, people would often stand up in the question-and-answer periods and tell their own stories. Some related to issues of Down syndrome and some of them related more to having a secret within the family.

People would linger after the events and tell me astonishing stories from their lives.

“The Price of Everything: Solving the Mystery of Why We Pay What We Do” (Portfolio/Penguin Group, $27.95),

by Eduardo Porter: New York Times editorial writer and longtime journalist Eduardo Porter offers an engaging rumination proving the adage that everything has its price. And he means everything: work, women, even faith and the future.

Porter explores the factors we weigh, consciously and unconsciously, in making decisions about things we don’t traditionally think of as having prices. And he shows that in every imaginable context our choices are influenced by circumstances and our available alternatives — more than by finance and logic.

Such thinking helps explain numerous apparent paradoxes that Porter highlights, including the fact that

people seem more willing to give blood for free than if they are paid $25, and more willing to travel across town to save $20 on a $100 sweater than $20 on a $1,000 computer. Time is worth more or less money depending on who is spending it, just as one person’s trash is another person’s treasure. So there’s a whole lot more than supply and demand going on.

That is, people are obligated, whether by physical circumstances or community and family roles or other situational factors, to consider where they are, their personal history, social norms and fairness in making any economic choice. Institutions and governments likewise: Porter even casts the Protestant Reformation in terms of prices and benefits. After centuries of charging wealthy people ever-increasing fees for indulgences and pardons, the Catholic Church finally hit a ceiling when reformers opened alternative churches that provided more core services to more of the faithful, nearly for free.

He offers an equally pricedriven prediction for future modern churches. In historic contrast in other industrialized nations, the ranks of the faithful are likely to keep growing in the U.S. because of the wide supply of customer-oriented services American churches and

other religious institutions provide. The U.S. has a large supply of religion, offered at relatively low prices.

While an elegant and enjoyable read, “The Price of Everything” is also timely: Porter makes a strong case in the wake of the recession that it’s silly for economists and policy makers to assume people act according to rational assessments or even in their own best interest. Not only could nothing be further from the truth, he says, that’s as it should be, and economists can no longer ignore this reality in their modeling and theories — or policy advice.

This complexity means Porter actually can’t explain why we pay what we do, as his title promises. Of course not.

It’s just too bad he doesn’t lay out more clearly the new, more holistic ways we could think about the global economy, and he doesn’t suggest more constructive frameworks for future economic thought.

Sharper kitchen skills: Chef teaches helpful knife techniques

By Sarah Henning sarah@lawrence.com

Mike Yoder/Journal-World Photos

ON FIRST approaching this subject I quickly photographed her in bright, direct sunlight, in case the moment would be lost. Later I moved around the subject, exploring other angles and how the quality of light changed as I moved.

MOVING AROUND these subjects I observed how the sunlight’s effects changed with my position.

From this viewpoint the sun is acting like a backlight and my image is more of a silhouette, emphasizing the shadows and shapes of the hula-hoops and subjects.

Basic advice teaches photographers a lot about light

By Mike Yoder myoder@ljworld.com

If you’ve ever purchased 35mm film you may recall the tightly folded instructions that accompanied each box. If you’re like me, you immediately threw them in the trash. If you read them you saw some simple instructions on successful picture-taking. One of the recommendations was to keep the sun at your back when photographing.

It was like a Kodak commandment. It is a good tip for beginning photographers. Keeping the sun behind you goes a long way to ensuring well-lit subjects, properly exposed images and a sun-burned neck. But breaking this rule can lead to more creative work. I like to place more emphasis on the quality of light rather than the quantity of light.

When I approach any subject my first photograph is usually the “necessary” shot.

It is a shot that reveals the scene in good light with an appropriate framing to include all the elements necessary to describe the subject or event to a reader. It ensures I have one image inhand before the event con-

AS RIDERS circled around a dark arena I photographed them as they passed through a wide band of afternoon sunlight that reached the arena’s interior. cludes or the subject runs away. Then I begin to explore different angles of composition, framing devices, moments of significance and the quality of light. In other words I move around a lot, always watching how the light illuminates my subject.

I remember photographing the Douglas County 4-H Fair Horse Show three years in a row. The inside arena is not well-lit and is a difficult place to photograph. I probably began each assignment getting my “necessary” photo of riders outside on horseback. Inside the arena, light enters through large sliding doors. The light was similar each year, but depending on where I posi-

tioned myself it had different effects on subjects inside and outside the building. My first year I photographed from inside looking out, catching dark silhouetted images of riders against the outdoor light.

My second year I positioned myself to capture soft side-light from the doors illuminating a rider and horse. The third year, I found a bright patch of direct sunlight hitting the arena floor. Riders circling the arena would gallop from dark areas into this doorwide beam of sunlight where I took their photograph.

In any photographic situation, pay attention to how the quality of light changes as you move around a subject or within an event.

Observe how the illumination of objects in your house change with the movement of the sun. Learning to recognize and seek out photographs using side-light, back-light and other qualities of light can affect your photography. To view the horse show photo examples go to this column on LJWorld.com.

I have a deep, dark secret that’s completely embarrassing as a professional food writer.

My knife skills suck.

And by suck, I mean that not only can I not chop a tomato uniformly to save my life, I’m also so dangerous it’s an absolute miracle I have all 10 fingers with which to type.

Yes, despite covering food for the Journal-World and Lawrence.com for three years, my knife skills consist pretty much only of what I’ve seen from the cheftestants on “Top Chef.” In fact, my husband isn’t likely to leave me alone with a butternut squash and a chef’s knife, no matter how many times I’ve made butternut squash burritos.

So, when I was invited to watch chef Nancy Stark demonstrate proper knife skills during a Tuesday night class at the Community Mercantile, I was psyched. Finally — finally — I would no longer strike fear into the hearts of loved ones by offering to chop up a single onion.

And, after two hours during Stark’s class at The Merc, plus a little preview session I had before class with photographer Richard Gwin, I came away with a ton of great advice, and the confidence that I will never leave my salads with mushy mangled tomato pieces ever again.

Among the tips from Stark, a freelance chef from Kansas City: ● Make what’s round flat.

“My philosophy is always to try to make round things be more flat,” Stark says.

“Because when things are flat, they just lay down on the cutting board and behave better.” Stark says the best way to do this is to cut off the stem ends to create a flat surface.

For example, with an onion, she’ll cut off both ends, then she’ll slit the peel and remove it. Next, she’ll cut it in half to create an even flatter surface before chopping it. ● Keep it short. For long or unwieldy items like butternut squash, Stark will cut off the ends, and then she’ll cut it into smaller chunks, say three or four pieces just 2 to 3 inches in length. Stark says you don’t want anything too tall to sit on your cutting board or you give yourself the opportunity to slip. “That could potentially tip over, and it’s when sudden, unexpected movements happen with knives that’s when you get cut,” she says. ● Skin side down. Stark says it’s much easier to cut something with an edible skin like a tomato or pepper with the hard skin facing the cutting board. For both bell peppers and roma tomatoes, she recommends cutting off the tops, then cutting a slit and sliding your knife along the meat, cutting out the core and seeds and almost “unrolling” the tomato or pepper until you have a long strip. “Just open a little door in the side of the pepper and you can cut out all that middle part as you go around,” Stark says. “So, the middle, that you don’t want anyway, comes out in one nifty little piece.” Then, lay this flat and begin to cut it. ● Strips first. Once you’ve gotten your flat, short lengths set out or unraveled a flat piece of tomato or pepper, Stark recommends slicing

STARK made this mini cheesecake during her presentation on knife skills. That’s a finely sliced grapefruit on top. thin strips that can later be chopped or diced, or, if need be, kept whole for a salad. ● Don’t skimp on the cutting board. Stark says that whether you prefer plastic, maple, bamboo or another surface, it’s important to make sure your board has enough space for you to work.

And it’s important to keep the board clear of things like pith or seeds, which could catch the tip of your knife and cause a problem. Also, to help keep your cutting board from sliding around, Stark recommends wiping your counter with a damp towel before putting the cutting board down, that way it will be more likely to stay put. ● Don’t default to a small knife. Stark says that if she cuts herself, she’s most apt to do it with a paring knife — the exact knife that she sees amateurs pick up most often. She says that while a small paring knife might seem safe, they tend to cause more problems than they fix because it’s hard to get any weight behind them and they tend to dull quickly because of their utilitarian nature. “It feels safer, but in fact it’s really not,” Stark says. “If any knife I have is going to wound me, it’s probably this one because it’s the dullest.”

● Test drive it. She says your best ally in the kitchen is a chef’s knife, between 8 and 11 inches in length. The brand and style is up to you. She recommends going to a place like Ambrosi Brothers Cutlery, 3023 Main St. in Kansas City, Mo., where you can handle knives and feel the grip and weight before purchase. ● Keep it sharp. Stark says she sharpens her knives once a week with an electric sharpener. In fact, she says if you only have $200 to spend on knives for your kitchen, don’t buy a knife set, but rather, buy a $50 chef knife and a $150 knife sharpener and move up from there. ● Practice, practice, practice. Want to know how to use a knife properly? Make vegetable stew. Stark recommends buying a bunch of different vegetables, from carrots to celery to potatoes, and work on your technique by chopping everything into a stew. That way, you get to try out your skills on several different shapes and types of vegetables and still get a great dinner out of the deal.

“When you get more relaxed with your knife,” Stark says, “it makes everything better.”

I couldn’t agree more. Who wants some stew?

KOVEL’S ANTIQUES

Chairs originally designed for looks, not comfort

By Terry Kovel

Photo Special to the Journal-World

THE RED-BELLIED WOODPECKER can be seen year-round in the eastern half of the state.

DOWNY FRIENDS ————

Woodpeckers provide Kansans year-round entertainment

E

ver wonder why woodpeckers peck? Or if the holes the birds chisel cause any real harm?

To be honest, I had never thought much about woodpeckers until asked these questions.

Although the answers on the birds’ behavior are a little complicated, I am now fascinated with the 13 species of woodpeckers that occur in Kansas.

First, the pecking: Scientists say woodpeckers are the only creature other than man that produces sound with something other than a part of its body. Woodpeckers use their sturdy bills and strong neck muscles to peck and drum on trees, utility poles, and other structures.

Pecking and drumming are actually two different actions for woodpeckers. Drumming is the rat-a-tat-tat, for which the birds may be best known. Scientists believe woodpeckers drum to claim their territory, to attract mates, and to locate food. When the birds tap on trees, they listen for insects moving under the tree’s bark, then drill holes where they hear activity.

Pecking or drilling are mostly used to eat. Most woodpeckers eat insect larvae, spiders and ants.

Some woodpeckers, known as sapsuckers, peck rows of small holes in trees to eat sap and insects that are attracted to the sap. Of the three species of sapsuckers found in Kansas, only the

Garden Calendar

Jennifer Smith smithjen@ksu.edu

yellow-bellied sapsucker is somewhat common. Yellow-bellied sapsuckers typically reside in Kansas from October to April.

Woodpeckers also drill holes in trees for nesting and roosting.

Whether woodpeckers’ holes are damaging depends on what they peck. When woodpeckers drill holes in trees, it leaves a wound that can be an entry point for insects and disease. Trees are wounded similarly by pruning, storm damage, insect entry and exit holes, and insect egg-laying activity.

If woodpeckers seem particularly active on a specific tree in your yard, it could indicate an insect problem. Insect borer larvae can damage the cambium (the living part of the tree just below the bark) and cause substantial problems over time.

Sapsuckers may be attracted to particular trees because they produce a large amount of sap in the

spring. Loss of sap itself is probably not harmful to the tree but again the holes create entry points for pathogens.

Occasionally, woodpeckers peck on houses, siding, wooden structures, gutters, flashing, etc. If woodpeckers are drilling or pecking on a structure that is an issue, prompt attention is the most important. They can usually be deterred from pecking on structures with the use of visual repellents. Experts recommend strips of aluminum foil, handheld windmills, falcon silhouette mobiles and magnifying mirrors.

Although the red-headed woodpecker may be the most recognized, it is usually only a summer resident in Kansas.

Northern flickers and yellowshafted flickers are considered the most common year-round woodpecker residents in the eastern part of the state. Hairy and downy woodpeckers and red-bellied woodpeckers are also common. Red-shafted flickers inhabit this area in the winter.

The rest are only occasional visitors.

The most interesting, albeit bizarre thing I learned: Woodpeckers’ nostrils have special coarse feathers that filter out the wood dust as they drill.

Before the 1850s, few chairs were made for comfort. Seventeenth and early 18th-century American chairs were designed with hard seats and straight backs, and few had arms. No slouching allowed. People were expected to sit up straight. Since most people worked during the day and went to bed when it was dark (there was no electricity), chairs were used for short periods of time when friends visited or the family sat for dinner. Jobs like bookkeeping or sewing were among the few that required the use of chairs for longer periods of time. By the end of the 18th century, chairs had padded seats, curved backs and arms. Some were large upholstered wing chairs made for comfort and to protect the sitter from cold drafts. Sometimes an event influenced chair shapes. Egyptian Revival chairs were created to celebrate Napoleon’s victories in Egypt. The chairs had winged arms and their backs were carved with Egyptian symbols like a bird’s beak that poked the sitter. Early Victorian designers preferred hard upholstered seats and arms for sofas and large chairs, but their chairs were curved for seating comfort. By about 1850, coil springs were invented and used with stuffing in seats.

Comfort became even more important. The 20th century saw the introduction of good artificial lighting and the invention of games, radio, television and other entertainment that required seated players, listeners or viewers. So designers stressed soft cushions, padded arms and comfort. But some designers wanted a different look for furniture and once again comfort suffered.

“High-style” included chairs in strange shapes made with hard materials like laminated wood, metal or plastic.

Q:

An old friend of my mother’s gave me a jardiniere and pedestal marked “1903 Avon” and “F.H. 1011.” Can you tell me who made it?

A:

Avon Works was founded in Tiltonsville, Ohio, in about 1880. It became Avon Faience Co. in 1902 and a department of Wheeling Potteries Co. of Wheeling, W. Va., in January 1903.

“F.H.” refers to Frederick Hurten Rhead (1880-1942).

He was born in England and immigrated to the United States in 1902. He made art pottery for Avon in 1903.

Rhead left in 1904 to become art director of Roseville Pottery of Zanesville, Ohio.

Q: I have an all-black cameo pin that, according to my family, belonged to my great-great-great grandmother in the 1870s.

It looks almost as if were made from coal. Someone told me it was “mourning jewelry” worn by a widow for at least a year after her husband’s death.

How much of this information is true?

A: Queen Victoria of England went into deep mourning when her husband, Prince Albert, died in 1861.

She wore black clothes and

It brought $3,540 last year at a Neal Auction in New Orleans. jewelry for the rest of her life. Fashionable women dressed in black, too. Black cameos were made from jet, vulcanite, bog oak or onyx, and it is difficult to tell them apart. Jet jewelry is considered the best quality. Jet is fossilized wood, a form of coal that is naturally black and can be carved. Vulcanite is a manmade type of rubber.

It is lightweight and molded, not carved. The color is a dark brown-black and will turn more brown if exposed to sunlight for a long time.

Bog oak is fossilized wood found in bogs. It is hard and black or dark brown, but not as shiny as jet when polished. All of these are lightweight and warm to the touch. Black onyx is a form of quartz. It’s heavy and cool to the touch. It polishes to a very shiny finish. Most is color-enhanced — dyed black so the color is even. It also is used for quality jewelry.

Q: Many sellers on eBay have said that Japanese buyers are paying high prices for Fire-King glassware and buying a lot of it.

Some say they think the Japanese are buying it to make copies that will hurt Fire-King’s values and collectability. Or are Japanese collectors into 1950s kitchen decor?

A: Japanese buyers seem to like the simple glass designs of the 1950s as much as American collectors do.

The value of the dollar versus the yen makes American eBay items inexpensive at times in Japan. Of course, shipping must add a lot to the cost. But the reproductions you should worry about are those that have been made in Brazil since 2000.

Q: What are “naughties"?

A: Naughties are small (under 4 inches high) bisque figurines of women, men or children in suggestive poses.

Each figurine has a hole in it so water can come out of its private parts. The most common naughty figurines are children urinating. Busts of women with holes in their breasts were also made.

Naughties were made in Germany from the 1890s until the 1920s. Later, poor copies were made in Japan. Reproductions are being made, and some have been sold online.

For many years it was suggested that the figures held perfume, but that seems unlikely. Unglazed bisque is not a practical container for an alcohol-based liquid.
