Finalists for police chief are named

Life’s work is Lawrence growth

————

Candidates will participate in open house next month

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

Finalists to become the Lawrence’s next police chief are the city’s interim police chief and police administrators from Overland Park, Olathe, Wichita and Lincoln, Neb. “The candidates we’ve selected for the final round of interviews offer exceptional leadership, numerous years of professional expertise in law enforcement, and each would bring an excellent repertoire of skills and Jackson personal experience to Lawrence as the next chief of police,” said City Manager David Corliss.

“The pool of candidates vying for this position is a testament to both the reputation of our community and our police department.”

These are the five candidates: ● Brian Jackson, a captain with the Lincoln, Neb., Police DepartKessler ment. ● Mark Kessler, a deputy chief in Overland Park. ● Tarik Khatib, Lawrence’s interim police chief. ● Clark Morrow, an Olathe police captain. ● Tom Stolz, a deputy chief in Wichita.

An open house for the public to Khatib meet the five candidates will be 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. Feb. 10 at the Carnegie Building, 200 W. Ninth St. Corliss has been searching for a police chief since longtime chief Ron Olin retired from the city in September and became director of security and internal controls at Kansas Athletics Inc. The city advertised nationally Morrow for the position and heard from 41 applicants from eight states, Corliss said, before he narrowed the list to five.

JOHN MCGREW, A RETIRED REALTOR AND DEVELOPER, will be honored with the Citizen of the Years award by the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce. McGrew and the late Bob Billings helped guide development of much of western Lawrence, including the Alvamar golf courses and surrounding neighborhoods.

Developer John McGrew picked as Chamber of Commerce’s Citizen of Years

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Back in the 1960s, there was no Clinton Parkway in Lawrence, and certainly no Bob Billings Parkway. After all, it would have been odd to name a road after Kansas University’s young director of financial aid, even if he had been a teammate of Wilt Chamberlain.

But there was a bumpy, graveled, farm road that would take you about a mile west of Iowa Street. Lawrence real estate broker John McGrew bounced along it because a hunting buddy of his was looking for a piece of land. A pretty good size piece of land, in fact.

Something about this 450acre tract caught McGrew’s eye. It had some hills and nice timber, and for whatever reason McGrew could envision white balls someday bouncing along tightly mowed fairways.

That’s what his hunting buddy was looking for — a place to build a golf course.

The buddy was Bob Billings.

Yes, the financial aid director who later would go on to become one of the more respected suburban developers in the country. Billings and Lawrence businessman Mel Anderson had the idea of making Lawrence home to one of the better public-play golf courses in America.

“I didn’t even know if the land was available, but I made the contact,” McGrew said.

“And the rest ended up being a miracle.”

You, of course, can go visit the 450-acre site today. Paved roads lead to Alvamar’s two golf courses, although if you don’t hit it straight there is still much that is rough about the place.

That nice piece of ground down the bumpy road was just the opening shot for McGrew and Billings.

Together, they developed about 3,000 acres of West Lawrence residential neighborhoods under the Alvamar name.

A year apart in age,

McGrew and Billings knew each other at KU, and they discovered they were both also outdoorsmen. Perhaps never has a bigger trophy been brought in from the field than the partnership McGrew and Billings ended up forging through their hunting and fishing trips.

“I knew him well from spending quite a bit of time with him in the field, and it just took off from there,” McGrew said of Billings, who died in 2003. “And sometimes, you just get lucky. I found the right piece of land.” ●●●

Tougher law for first-time DUI offenders debated

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

State legislators are sifting through rhetoric from two national lobbying groups that disagree on just how far governments should go to prevent drunken driving.

Mothers Against Drunk Dri-

ving is pushing the Kansas Legislature to pass a law that would require first-time DUI offenders to install ignition interlocks on their vehicles. Ignition interlocks require drivers to blow into a device that registers blood-alcohol content levels. If a driver is above a legal limit, a 0.08 BAC in Kansas, then the

vehicle won’t start.

“From MADD’s perspective, anyone who violates the public trust by illegally driving drunk with a BAC of 0.08 deserves the ignition interlock,” said Frank Harris, state legislative affairs manager for MADD. The American Beverage Institute, which represents more than

LAWRENCE

| Monday, January 24, 2011

DEATHS H ELEN MARIE KRISCHE A memorial Mass for Helen Marie Krische (Dee), 60, Lawrence, is pending and will be announced by

Warren-McElwain Mortuary.

She died Saturday, Jan. 22, 2011, at Lawrence Memorial Hospital.

KENNETH W. PICKERT GROVE, OKLA. — Mass of Christian Burial for Kenneth “Ken” W. Pickert, 79, Grove, will be at 2 p.m. today at the St. Elizabeth Catholic Church in Grove. Burial will be at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday at St. Boniface Catholic Cemetery in Scipio, Kan.

Mr. Pickert, a former resident of Lawrence, Kan., died Thursday, Jan. 20, 2011, at his home.

He was the brother of Gerald Pickert, of Richmond, Kan., and Leon Pickert, Rosalie Waner and Betty McArdle, all of Lawrence.

sociology degree. He has worked in many divisions of the department, including a stint leading a joint city and county drug task force. ● Morrow, 48, is the current patrol division captain for the Olathe Police Department. He has worked for the Olathe department for 22 years, attended Kansas State University for three years and later earned a bachelor’s degree from Western Illinois University in Macomb, Ill. “Lawrence is a great city. I find it to be an intriguing position,” Morrow said. “This is a chance for me and the other candidates to get to know the city and department better and see if any of us are a good fit and if the department is a good fit for us.”

He was offered the job as Emporia police chief in 2007 and briefly accepted it, but according to news reports later changed his mind because his family could not support the decision to make the move to Emporia. ● Stolz, 52, is the head of Wichita’s investigations division and has served as a deputy police chief for 10 years in his 29-year stint there. He said his experience in Wichita has allowed him to deal with high-profile cases in the state’s largest city and also reach out to community members there.

“I feel like Lawrence has that same philosophy and same flavor and that the police department works well with the community,” said Stolz, who earned his bachelor’s degree in biology from Newman University in Wichita and has a master’s in administration of justice from Wichita State University.

He has some familiarity with Lawrence because two of his sons earned degrees at KU. ● Jackson, 48, as a captain in Lincoln has commanded fo r f ive ye a rs a d r u g enforcement task force in the area that includes several agencies. He’s been a Lincoln police off icer since 1987 and started his career with the Hastings, Neb., department.

He sees his experience in working on crime issues in Lincoln as a strength because of the many similarities between Lawrence and Nebraska’s capital. Both

cities are home to major state universities.

“The values are very similar, which makes me very comfortable in looking at Lawrence,” Jackson said.

He has earned two degrees in public administration — an undergraduate one from Doane College in Lincoln and a master’s degree from the University of Nebraska. ● Kessler, 54, has been a deputy police chief in Overland Park since 2002. He currently commands the support services bureau and has worked in many facets in his 32 years with the department, including as a detective.

“I’m just looking forward to the process,” he said.

He has degrees from Washburn University and the University of Central Missouri in Warrensburg, Mo. All five candidates have experience with prestigious police leadership programs.

Khatib, Morrow, Jackson and Kessler have all graduated from the leadership training program at the FBI National Academy in Quantico, Va. Stolz and Kessler are graduates of the Senior Management Institute for Police.

Process The city’s job description listed the chief ’s salary at more than $105,000, depending upon experience.

At the Feb. 10 open house, Corliss said, members of the public are encouraged to talk to each candidate one-onone. He said he would accept confidential e-mail feedback on candidates after the event, provided that the messages include the community member’s name and contact information.

The candidates will tour Lawrence that day and conduct interviews with committees made up of members of the public, city employees and other officials. Corliss, who has authority to make the selection, said he expected to decide in February.

“The chief of police position is one that is deeply connected to the community,” Corliss said, “and I want the citizens of Lawrence to have an opportunity to meet the candidates, thank them for their interest in our community, and open a dialogue with them about the challenges and opportunities we face.”

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -WORLD

McGrew named Citizen of Years CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

McGrew Real Estate, will receive the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce’s Citizen of the Years award at the chamber’s annual meeting on Friday.

Friends and business associates said the award was well-deserved for one of the community’s consummate dealmakers.

“John is always going to carve out a deal as good as he can make it,” said Larry Chance, a vice president with Lawrence’s Emprise Bank, who was an executive at Alvamar for 27 years. “That wasn’t Bob’s strong suit. But John always has a very fine pencil. I don’t think John or Bob could have done everything they have done without the other.”

Now 72 (yes, McGrew is the guy on the much-played physical therapy commercial who says of his tennis game ‘not bad for an old guy’), he is thankful he’s gotten anything done in the real estate business.

For a time, it didn’t appear like he would. McGrew’s father, Conrad, founded the real estate company in 1951, the same year large parts of Douglas County were under water from the area’s largest flood in recent memory.

In 1953, his father died.

“My dad was 48 when he died, and I was 14,” McGrew said. “It is the biggest shock a teenager could ever have.”

One would think it might have been a fatal shock for a 2year-old real estate company.

“I never forget that it is a miracle that McGrew Real Estate exists today, and the miracle is my mother,” McGrew said.

McGrew’s mother, Viola, had never balanced a checkbook before her husband’s death. But she took over the reins of the company and kept it going until McGrew could graduate from KU’s Business School in 1960. At that point, there was no doubt about what McGrew was going to do. He went straight to the family business, without regard for whether he would like it or not.

In perhaps his biggest stroke of luck, he ended up loving it. The process of carving new neighborhoods out of Douglas County hillsides left him with a feeling that you don’t always associate with developers.

“It was just such a joy to feel like you were being creative,” McGrew said. “I’m not an artist, but I always felt like we were making a positive contribution.” ●●●

McGrew has been retired from his real estate company since 2007, promoting his son, Mike, to the chairman position. But with blue jeans, a blazer and a starched white shirt, McGrew still very much looks the part of a laidback Lawrence dealmaker.

In a Sixth Street office, he asks his secretary to find some documents from the 1980s to help him make a point to a visitor. She does so in a matter of minutes. Office file cabinets contain plats of neighborhoods throughout the city, and an aerial photograph of one piece of land or another is never very far away.

But these days, McGrew sells ideas more than he does property. He’s the founder and chairman of the local nonprofit Outside for a Better Inside. It works to get people — particularly youths — outside more often in the hopes of preventing health problems in the future.

Like a man who has been through countless open houses, he has a selling point about the program to stick in your mind.

“Make the computer a tool, not a lifestyle,” he says.

Over the last year he’s been promoting a plan to use school district ground just east of Lawrence near Kansas Highway 10 and Noria Road as the site of an eventual wellness campus that could include walking trails, outdoor classrooms, a “miracle field” for youths with disabilities, and other features. The school board balked at the use of the site, but McGrew still hopes some place can be found in the community for a

project devoted to outdoor activities and wellness.

“I just want the community to evaluate the risks of not doing it and the benefits of doing it,” McGrew said. “If we just embrace it, it will work.”

Retired or not, McGrew also is still selling the idea of Lawrence. A great location with a great university has been the sales pitch for a long time. Like several in his industry, he feels like the community has slipped in its efforts to create jobs and the population growth that comes with them.

“We went through a time period there where we just thought we were too good for some jobs and some projects,” McGrew said, mentioning a failed deal to land the American Eagle Outfitters warehouse and other distribution and industrial projects.

He knows those type of comments will anger some, but he’s used to that. Being a developer in Lawrence doesn’t make you the most popular guy in some circles. But McGrew said he’s never apologetic about being in the development business, or for how the city has grown.

“When I was growing up here in the 1940s, Lawrence, Ottawa, and Las Vegas, Nevada, all were about the same size,” McGrew said. “I think most thinking people would agree Las Vegas has been runaway development and lots of bad things have happened.

Ottawa would say we would like to have more development to be more economically healthy. I think Lawrence has had a good balance.

“I’m glad to have the discussion. I think it is healthy to have a well-educated population that cares about its community. That doesn’t bother me. But it is easy for me to believe that the amount of development we had here was healthy and good for the community overall.”

Even if there are fewer gravel roads to travel down.

Chamber to bestow other honors

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Three longtime local volunteers and business leaders will be honored by the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce at its annual meeting on Friday.

The chamber will award Sharon Spratt the Buford M. Watson Jr. Public Service Award, Ranelle Fischer the Wally Galluzzi Volunteer of the Year Award, and Jane Bateman the Athena Award.

“Each of these honorees contribute to our community on a daily basis and make Lawrence a better place in which to live and work,” said Cindy Yulich, chair of the chamber’s board of directors.

The chamber will host its annual meeting and awards — Reporter George Diepenbrock can be banquet at 5:30 p.m. Friday at reached at 832-7144. Follow him at the Holiday Inn Lawrence, Twitter.com/lawrencecrime. 200 McDonald Drive.

Longtime Lawrence Chamber of Commerce leader Gary Toebben will be the keynote speaker. Toebben was the president of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce from 1981 to 1999. He now is the president and CEO of the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce.

The chamber selected its award winners from a list of nominations made by its membership and the general public.

Spratt is the chief executive officer of Lawrence-based Cottonwood Inc., an organization that serves people with developmental disabilities. In addition to her work there, she also has been a board member with Douglas County Visiting Nurses, the Douglas County Dental Clinic, and the Kansas Commission on Disability Concerns.

Fischer is a vice president

for Lawrence’s Emprise Bank.

Since moving to Lawrence in 1995, she’s been an active volunteer with the Kiwanis club, the Boys and Girls Club of Lawrence, the Leadership Lawrence program, the Douglas County Senior Center, the United Way of Douglas County and several other organizations.

Bateman is the president of Lawrence’s Jane Bateman: The Interiors Store. She has won several business and volunteer awards including the Wally Galluzzi Volunteer of the Year Award, and has served as the president or chair of several local organizations, including the Bert Nash Community Mental Health Board, the Lawrence Community Theatre, the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission and Rotary International of Lawrence.

Tougher laws for DUI offenders to be debated this week CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

American Beverage Institute supports that existing law but believes judges should have more discretion when it comes to first-time offenders.

A 120-pound women who drinks two glasses of wine in two hours and drove would be treated the same as an average guy who had 10 drinks, said Sarah Longwell, managing director for the YOUR

American Beverage Institute.

“Under this rationale, it would be like someone who is one mile over the speed limit would be the same as someone 30 miles over,” Longwell said.

Harris said the law would target binge drinkers, not social drinkers.

The Kansas bill is part of a larger campaign for MADD, which wants all convicted drunken drivers in every

state to have ignition interlocks.

“It helps to reduce DUIs. It’s not a silver bullet, but it’s one thing to build your DUI law around,” Harris said.

The organization also is working with other groups on technology that would equip cars with a less obtrusive device for detecting drivers over the legal limit.

It’s the thought of that device that worries Longwell.

“We’re drawing a line in

the sand,” Longwell said.

“This technology is great, but it should only be used by offenders, hard core offenders.”

So far, 13 states have required f irst-time DUI offenders to install ignition interlocks on their vehicles.

In Kansas, the devices would be put in place for a year following the first-time offender’s one-year driving suspension.

Walmart shooting leaves 2 dead, 2 hurt A shootout in front of a Walmart in Washington state left two people dead and two sheriff’s deputies wounded Sunday, a sheriff’s spokesman said.

One of the dead was a man who shot at deputies, said Scott Wilson of the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office.

The other victim was a young woman who died after she was taken to a Tacoma hospital, he said.

Sheriff’s officials said the deputies’ wounds weren’t expected to be life threatening.

Wilson said details were sketchy, but the sheriff’s office received a call about a suspicious person at the store in Port Orchard. He said the man ran and started shooting when three deputies tried to talk to him.

Gunman shoots 4 officers in precinct A gunman opened fire inside a Detroit police precinct on Sunday, wounding four officers including a commander before he was shot and killed by police, authorities said.

The gunman walked in through the precinct’s revolving door shortly after 4 p.m. and opened fire indiscriminantly at officers, police said. The officers fired back, killing the gunman.

“Utter chaos and pandemonium took place,” Police Chief Ralph Godbee said at a news conference. “We have a number of officers who are shaken up.”

Godbee said the gunman has been identified but it was “too early to characterize” him while the investigation was ongoing.

The chief said along with the commander, two sergeants and an officer were wounded, but none appeared to have life-threatening injuries.

Principals ponder pursuit of school naming —————

In phasing out ‘junior high,’ schools may opt to change names altogether

By Mark Fagan mfagan@ljworld.com

If the early returns at South Junior High School are any indication, the Lawrence school district’s pursuit of new names for its four soon-to-be middle schools could be rather brief.

“We had a vote as to who would like to have the name changed, or stay Lawrence South Middle School,” said Will Fernandez, in his sixth year as principal at South, 2734 La. “The

teachers all say they want to stay the same: Lawrence South Middle School. … And we’ve had several teachers just do an informal poll in their classrooms, and they’ve all come back the same: They all want to stay with South. …

“There’s a sense of pride and tradition: Don’t change it.”

Such preliminary voting will be expected to move into formal election cycles beginning today, when members of the Lawrence school board consider appoint-

ing members to naming committees for each junior high school: Central, South, Southwest and West.

On Jan. 13, four board members — Mary Loveland, Marlene Merrill, Rich Minder and Vanessa Sanburn — voted to pursue new names for the schools, which are set to become middle schools July 1. The schools will have grades 6 through 8, instead of the current 7 through 9.

To help guide their decisions about the schools’ names enter-

ing the new academic year, the four board members agreed to seek input from the school communities themselves. Those communities, represented by the committees, will be expected either to suggest new names or support maintaining the existing ones — with the only certainty that “junior high” be replaced by “middle” in each school’s name.

Woman who raised stolen baby held A North Carolina woman who raised a child stolen 23 years ago from a New York hospital surrendered to authorities on a probation violation charge Sunday, and she was to appear in federal court to face kidnapping charges, the U.S. attorney’s office said.

Ann Pettway surrendered Sunday morning to the FBI and Bridgeport police on a warrant from North Carolina, where she’s on probation because of a conviction for attempted embezzlement, FBI supervisory special agent William Reiner said. She turned herself in days after a widely publicized reunion between the child she raised, now an adult, and her biological mother.

Pettway received two years of probation last June after she took items from a store where she worked, which is considered embezzlement under North Carolina law, state correction spokeswoman Pamela Walker said. Under terms of her probation, she wasn’t allowed to leave the state.

Afghan parliament deal still tentative Afghanistan’s president resisted demands from winning parliamentary candidates Sunday to dissolve a tribunal investigating alleged election fraud, potentially undercutting a deal in which he agreed to inaugurate the legislature this week.

President Hamid Karzai’s repeated refusals to accept the results of September’s parliamentary elections could undermine the new legislature’s authority and the electoral process even as Western allies design their military exit strategy around the idea of a stronger government.

Though the balloting was mired in fraud, the standoff has grown far beyond a question of ballot stuffing into a power struggle between the president and the elected parliamentarians. Both sides say the constitution and laws are on their side.

Tea partiers: Defense in mix for cuts Tea party supporters clamoring for the government to slash spending say nothing should be off limits. Tea party-backed lawmakers echo that argument, and they’re not exempting the military’s multibillion-dollar budget.

That’s creating hard choices for the new Republicans in Congress who owe their elections to the influential grass-roots movement. Cutting defense and canceling weapons could mean spending reductions and high marks from tea partiers. It also could jeopardize jobs.

Proponents of the cuts could face criticism they’re weakening national security.

A jar with a red ribbon around it sits on a shelf inside the Natural History Museum.

Inside is one of the 330,000 amphibian and reptile specimens housed in the building, but this one is special.

It’s the holotype of Myersophis alpestris, the very first of a species of snake that Kansas University herpetologist Edward Taylor collected in the 1920s.

RAFE BROWN, CURATOR OF HERPETOLOGY AT THE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM, holds the holotype of Myersophis alpestris, which is the first collected specimen of an adult snake Edward Taylor, pictured at left, found in the Philippines in the 1920s. The specimen was lost in the 1960s. Thirty years later, the specimen was found in a collection that had been on top of Taylor’s desk and is now back in KU’s collection.

Acting Secretary of Wildlife and Parks Robin Jennison was bragging to the House Appropriations Committee last week about the agency’s successful partnership with a nonprofit group to build cabins in several state parks near lakes. But several conservative members on the committee asked why the state was competing with private businesses for lodging.

Jennison said the cabins weren’t competing with private motels but were providing a different experience. “It’s important for people to have an opportunity to be close to the lake,” he said.

“It would eliminate all the necessary checks and balances, make Secretary Kobach the final arbiter on who would not be allowed to vote, and it would force all of us — the taxpayers — to subsidize the effort.”

Principals consider pursuit of new school names CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

chances of recommending a replacement name for South at “slim, very slim,” other principals are holding back their thoughts until the committees get a chance to meet.

One thing everyone can agree on: Committee members f irst must decide whether they want to retain the existing name or pursue a new one.

“That’s first,” said Trish Bransky, principal at Southwest, 2511 Inverness Drive, since the building opened in 1995-96. “At that point they’ll decide to move forward or not.”

The proposed committee for West, 2700 Harvard Road, would have six people: two parents, two teachers and two students. But Myron Melton, in his eighth year as principal, would expect them to gather plenty of input from their friends, colleagues and fellow students.

West opened 50 years ago, and boasts a matter-of-fact motto that’s been celebrated for decades: West is Best.

“There’s a lot of tradition that goes into a name,” Melton said. “But I think you’ll have people say, ‘We’re going into a whole new era, we need a whole new name.’

It’s hard to predict. I don’t know which way it will go.”

Anna Stubblefield, in her third year at Central, already

knows at least one name that will be considered by Central’s naming committee: Liberty Memorial Middle School, which would go back to the heart of the name that’s actually inscribed on the front of the school building at 1400 Mass., the former Liberty Memorial High School.

Stubblefield, who acknowledges that she’s “not interested in changing just for change’s sake,” plans to be open to the anticipated dialogue at the committee level.

“We’ll see where everybody’s opinions lie,” she said.

“Is this something we want to spend time on? If so, it’s obviously something that will be very time-consuming.”

Fernandez isn’t worried. If board members appoint the committees as expected tonight, he plans to distribute surveys to all 585 students Tuesday afternoon.

Each single sheet of paper will have but one question: Do you want the school to remain Lawrence South Middle School, or would you like a name change?

“Two boxes,” he said. “Pick one.”

Each committee would be expected to forward its recommendations to the school board sometime around spring break.

— Schools reporter Mark Fagan can be reached at 832-7188.

Nominees for naming committees Nominees, including parents, teachers and students, for each of the Lawrence school district’s four junior high schools, as recommended by school principals and up for approval tonight by the Lawrence school board:

Central Members of the school’s site council: Judy Roberts, Erin Barker, Shonda Anderson, Kelly Calvert, Gary Hall, Vanessa Sanburn (school board member), Ron May (district administrator), Jacqueline Stafford, Sharon Rollins, Rebecca Clark, Deb Keary, Mandana Erashadi-Hurt, Melvin Kroger, Laura Leonard and Anna Stubblefield (principal); and Ayesha Vishnani and Joseph Esparza, members of Seventh Grade Student Council.

South Members of the school’s site council: Scott Petry, a teacher and member of the Building Leadership Team; Chris English, a parent; Tawnia Lashley, a parent and teacher; Beverly Kelly, a parent and paraeducator. Also: Genevieve Voigt and Louisa Holland, members of the Seventh Grade Student Council; and Will Fernandez, principal.

Southwest Members of the school’s site council: Mark Bradford, school board member; Trish Bransky,

principal; Nici Coulson, teacher and Student Council sponsor; David Cunningham, district administrator; Matt Fearing, assistant principal; Maggie Fieger, business partner; Elizabeth Gabel, teacher and parent; Bob Kircher, counselor; Lisa Koppes, classified staff and parent; Patrick Manning, business partner; Melissa Stucky, library media specialist and Student Council sponsor; and Twila Baker, Daniel Dorado, Diane Knapp, Trish LaRue, Will Lockwood, Kelly McReynolds, Paula Pepin, Lian Rajewski, Mark Schmidt and Norine Spears, parents. Also: Student Council members Ashton Edwards, secretary; Anna Meissbach and Rosemary Newsome, co-presidents; Hannah Moran, treasurer; and seventh grade representatives on the Student Council Executive Board Sydney Davis, Becca Moran, Elizabeth Patton and Asha Reeder, with Ashley Ammann and Maria Urban as alternates.

West Julie Ohse, parent and chairwoman of the school’s site council; Sherri Dedloff, parent and leader of Parents of West Warhawks; Kate Welch and Lisa Greenwood, teachers and members of the school’s Building Leadership Team; and Ernesto Hodison and Ireland Ziegler, members of Seventh Grade Student Council.

Herpetologist hoping to recover specimens CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

many species as possible on the island, and their parasites.

Following in footsteps Brown has another goal, though. He wants to find specimens that Taylor collected in the 1920s and 1930s that were destroyed during a World War II bombing and haven’t been collected since.

“Much of the work we’ve been doing has been going back, trying to visit the exact same locations where he was and trying to catch those animals,” Brown said. “There are lots of species that exist in literature but there are no specimens in any museum anywhere because they were blown up.”

The Biodiversity Institute keeps Taylor’s books in its herpetology library, which includes countless volumes filled with his personal notes.

Through these notes, Brown, his co-workers and students piece together locations to visit to find what he calls “lost species.”

“We literally are following in his footsteps. We read his publications really carefully and try to get any hint we can of exactly where he went,” he said. “So we go back to the exact same place, try to find Taylor’s collection site, take his original paper and compare it to the things we catch in the field and see if we can catch a lost species.”

Brown said he and his team have about eight species in the lost collection to find, but they’re in much more remote areas. He knows the importance of finding them, though, to complete Taylor’s work.

“We think of him as the father of Philippine herpetology, because he described and discovered more species of amphibians and reptiles from the Philippines than anyone else in the world,” Brown said.

Back to the Philippines Brown said the grant extends a few more years, so he’ll return to the island nation up to 12 more times.

He and his team have made quite a bit of progress so far,

naming about 60 new species with at least that many more to name. Often they can’t tell if an animal is a new species until they analyze its DNA, but sometimes it just clicks when they’re in the field that they’ve found something new.

“That moment of discovery is really exciting. We definitely live for that stuff,” he said.

During the last trip, Brown came home with tubs of relatively common species, but the animals were rare finds in collections because the government restricted the area where they lived for years.

“They’re not considered threatened in any way but they’re just rare in collections and biologists know very little about them,” he said.

One such species, a brown snake, had only been collected as females. Brown found a male specimen this trip.

Brown knows he’ll return many times to the Philippines, and his next big trip will be a two-month research expedition with about 25 people in the field this summer.

The goal is to diversify their already growing collection.

“We’ve had to try really hard not to spend too much time in one place,” he said.

Flint Hills soon to be Sturgis for horses?

Gov. Sam Brownback told several hundred people at the Topeka Chamber of Commerce’s luncheon on Friday that he thinks the Flint Hills are “getting ready to pop” tourism-wise.

Brownback said someone suggested to him that the area could host a gathering of horseback riders, like Sturgis, S.D., has the annual motorcycle rally. “Long-haired horses and tattoos,” he quipped.

What’s next 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, briefing

by Matt Ladner, of the Goldwater Institute, and author of “Report Card on American Education,” to Senate Education Committee, Room 152South, Capitol.

1:30 p.m. Tuesday, hearing on HB 2013, repealing statutes relating to the sale and purchase of certain firearms, before House Federal and State Affairs Committee, Room 346-South.

1:45 p.m. Tuesday, public hearing on ethics complaint against former Kansas University athletic director Lew

Perkins, at Kansas Governmental Ethics Commission, 109 SW Ninth St. in the Board of Agriculture conference room on fourth floor.

1:30 p.m. Wednesday, hearing on HB 2035, restrictions on abortion, before House Federal and State Affairs Committee, Room 346South, Capitol.

1:30 p.m. Thursday, Kansas Supreme Court will cross the street and convene its docket in the Old Supreme Courtroom, third floor of the Capitol, as part of commemoration of the state’s sesquicentennial.

Pledge for fair campaign empty If the Office of Repealer is looking for laws to erase from the books, here’s one from Carol Williams, executive director of the Kansas Governmental Ethics Commission.

She told a Senate committee last week that there is a statute that requires the Ethics Commission to prepare a statement of fair campaign practices for candidates “to assist candidates in the proper conduct of election campaigns” and mail it to each candidate.

Nothing wrong with that, but the law contains no enforcement. And when one candidate perceives his or her opponent has violated the fair campaign statement, they often call the Ethics Commission wanting to file a complaint and start an investigation. But the commission can do nothing about it.

Cabin instrumental part of folk-song history CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

people from across the world which ones they recognize, I bet ‘Home on the Range’ would be No. 1. It’s the most famous state song of all.”

But in the fall of 1872, Brewster Higley’s thoughts were simply written in poem form on a scrap of paper.

He tucked it away in one of his books.

The doctor Brewster Higley was down on his luck.

At the end of his fourth marriage, Higley was seeking refuge and a little solace when he left Ohio in 1871 and homesteaded on the banks of Beaver Creek in Smith County, Kansas.

His first three wives had died from illness and injury.

The fourth, Mercy Ann McPherson, a woman from Indiana, was temperamental, at best. He quickly left his three children with relatives in Illinois and moved far away from the matrimonial discord.

On the Kansas prairie, he found peace. To pass the time, Higley often played the violin and wrote poetry.

His first home was a simple dugout — dirt floors, roof and walls.

A year later, he built a cabin with three limestone walls; on the south wall, he put in logs.

He kept the dirt floor and added two small rectangular windows on the south and north walls and built a door with a latchstring lock.

Oh, give me the gale of the Solomon vale Where life streams with buoyancy flow, On the banks of the Beaver, where seldom if ever Any poisonous herbage doth grow.

Two years later, Higley was treating a patient for a gunshot wound while another man waited — Trube Reese of Smith Center.

Reese began thumbing through Higley’s books and came upon the poem.

He reportedly told Higley: “This is plumb good, you should have it printed in the paper.”

So, in 1873, the Smith County Pioneer printed the poem with verses such as this one: How often at night, when the heavens are bright By the light of the glittering stars, Have I stood there amazed and asked as I gazed If their beauty exceeds this of ours.

That same year, Higley presented the poem to Dan Kelley of nearby Gaylord, who’d been a bugler during the Civil War and had enough background in music to give it a distinctive melody.

Kelley then gave the song

THE LAND SURROUNDING Brewster Higley’s cabin looks much the same as when he first wrote “My Western Home,” later set to music and renamed “Home on the Range.” to Judge John Harlan and his family, who first played and sang it publicly.

The Harlans added a chorus to the song: A Home — A Home — Where the deer and the antelope play — where seldom is heard a discouraging word— and the sky is not cloudy all day.

None of the men attempted to copyright the song.

How Kansas almost lost out The song spread like wildfire throughout the West.

It gained popularity along the cattle trails and in smalltown dance halls, where its melody and heartfelt words about home were quickly learned.

By then, with the cowboy influence, the chorus of the song had shifted to “Home, Home on the Range ... ” Jim Gray, cowboy historian from Ellsworth and publisher of the Kansas Cowboy newspaper, said the song was simply the voice of the prairie.

“That song is stuck in our DNA,” he said. “It is in the spirit of what it represents — it is not only the spirit of Kansas but the spirit of the Old West.”

Kansas historian Thomas Averill said that sense of a home is interchangeable with Kansas.

“The word home is important to our identity,” Averill said. “When Frank Baum wrote ‘The Wizard of Oz’ in 1900, Dorothy said ‘There is no place like home.’ Brewster Higley wrote ‘Home on the Range’ before that. By the 1930s, people were identifying Kansas as the home place — it was the center of the heartland.”

Still, at the turn of the 20th

century, that sense of identity — that sense of home — had come to mean almost anywhere “out there” in the Old West. And “Home on the Range” gained folk song status.

In 1910 it was published for the first time by John Lomax, a Texas college professor researching folk music of the Old West.

He labeled it “Home on the Range” and published it in the book, “Cowboy Songs and Frontier Ballads.”

It was published as sheet music and the refrains of the song were heard everywhere from pianos and pump organs in home parlors to recording artists who recorded it for phonographs and sang it over radio airwaves.

And still, the song’s popularity continued to grow, along with a number of variations — each claiming home ties with Texas, Colorado and other states.

In 1934 William and Mary Goodwin of Arizona claimed they wrote the song, “An Arizona Home,” and filed a lawsuit against radio giant NBC and various publishing houses demanding damages and prohibiting the song from being played in public.

It was only after Samuel Moanfeldt, an investigative lawyer for NBC and the publishing houses, was hired to track down the roots of the song that the lawsuit was resolved and the melody could once again be sung in public.

Moanfeldt traced the song back to Kansas — to Higley publishing the poem in the Smith County Pioneer.

A cabin’s fate In 1947, the Kansas Legisla-

ture declared “Home on the Range” the official song of Kansas.

In the early 1950s, the Smith County Rotary Club revamped Higley’s cabin, putting in 1870s vintage logs wh e re ro tte d l o g s o n ce stood. In 1980, area farmers braced the stone walls with maintainer blades and rebar.

They were simple farmers’ fixes.

“The good news was they didn’t sell it; the bad news is that they didn’t maintain it very well,” said El Dean Holthus.

Holthus, whose aunt and uncle, Ellen and Pete Rust, owned the property for nearly 75 years, credits them for saving the cabin and keeping it standing in Kansas. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The land and cabin are now maintained by the Rust Family Trust.

In the past two years, the Rust Family Trust repaired the roof on the cabin and removed dead trees that threatened to fall on the building.

The trust is trying to raise money to restore the cabin.

Holthus estimates that it may cost as much $100,000 to restore it to its original integrity.

The cabin is iconic enough for artists and singers to make pilgrimages.

Dave Zerfas, a western balladeer from Manhattan, is one of those people.

“It paints the hopes of people who came here searching for a new life,” Zerfas said. “It is a snapshot of the idyllic prairie before the buffalo were all gone.”

“To me, that song is the dream of Kansas.”

BRIEFLY Fitness guru Jack LaLanne dies LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jack LaLanne, the fitness guru who inspired television viewers to trim down, eat well and pump iron for decades before diet and exercise became a national obsession, died Sunday. He was 96.

LaLanne died of respiratory failure due to pneumonia Sunday afternoon at his home in Morro Bay on California’s central coast, his longtime agent Rick Hersh said.

LaLanne ate healthy and exercised every day of his life up until the end, Hersh said.

He maintained a youthful physique and joked in 2006 that “I can’t afford to die. It would wreck my image.”

LaLanne credited a sudden interest in fitness with transforming his life as a teen, and he worked tirelessly over the next eight decades to transform others’ lives, too.

“The only way you can hurt the body is not use it,” LaLanne said. “Inactivity is the killer and, remember, it’s never too late.”

His workout show was a television staple from the 1950s to the ’70s.

ing a health care repeal vote even if GOP lawmakers expect to be on the losing side.

“We need to have a vote on it because we promised the people we would,” Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said Sunday on “Face the Nation” on CBS. “We have to have a vote on repeal so that everybody is on record whether they want to repeal.”

Republicans took control of the House after November’s elections and last week voted, as promised, to repeal the health care law. Only three Democrats joined all Republicans in the 245-189 vote to scrap the law.

While Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., who controls the Senate agenda, has said such a bill won’t come to a vote, Republican leader Mitch McConnell repeated his promise that a repeal vote will indeed take place.

“If that does not pass, and I don’t think anyone is optimistic that it will, we intend to go after this health care bill in every way that we can. It’s the single worst piece of legislation that’s been passed in my time in the Senate,” McConnell

said on “Fox News Sunday.”

2 turned away trying to visit WikiLeaks GI QUANTICO, VA. (AP) — Two backers of a jailed Army private suspected of passing classified documents to the WikiLeaks website say their car was towed after they arrived at a Marine base to visit him.

David House and blogger Jane Hamsher say in a statement they had not had problems previously driving onto the Quantico base. But they say they were detained and unable to visit Army Pfc. Bradley Manning on Sunday.

Quantico spokesman Col. Thomas V. Johnson says the car was towed after the pair could not provide proof of insurance and guards found the vehicle’s license plates had expired. He says both weren’t detained.

Manning’s civilian attorney said Friday he has filed a complaint over Manning’s treatment. The former intelligence analyst in Iraq is being held while the Army determines whether he’ll be tried.

LAWRENCE JOURNAL-WORLD ● LJWorld.com ● Monday, January 24, 2011

EDITORIALS

Suitable to whom?

Legislators defining a “suitable” education or curriculum for Kansas schools won’t necessarily keep the state out of court.

F

rom a practical standpoint, we would like to think that every action taken by the Kansas Legislature would be “suitable” for the state.

However, that word has spawned considerable controversy in Kansas as it pertains to education funding — controversy that has landed the state in court before and may do it again.

Gov. Sam Brownback wants to avoid that and many Kansans would agree with his contention that defending state laws in court is a poor use of precious resources. To that end, in his State of the State address, Brownback invited legislators to better define “a suitable education.”

Like many Kansans, Brownback quoted a term that actually doesn’t appear in Article 6 of the Kansas Constitution, which covers education. The actual wording is that the legislature “shall make suitable provision for finance of the educational interests of the state.” The sentence even appears under Section 6: Finance.

So far, legislators have mostly tried to define a suitable education in Kansas by outlining a curriculum for schools. That issue is more directly addressed in Section 1 of Article 6: “The legislature shall provide for intellectual, educational, vocational and scientif ic improvement by establishing and maintaining public schools…”

The effort now seems to be to figure out how much education the state is responsible for funding. House Speaker Mike O’Neal ,who has been assigned to lead the task of defining suitability, indicated last week that he expects the state’s responsibility to be defined as more than reading, writing and arithmetic, but less than it is doing now.

Presumably, if legislators set a lower standard for the state’s responsibility for K-12 schools, some provision would be made to allow local parents and taxpayers to build on that financial base. Although “equity” isn’t addressed in the state constitution, providing equal education opportunities to students across the state is a guiding principle of the current school finance formula. Reducing the state’s educational responsibilities would have serious consequences for those efforts.

An alternative strategy would be to ignore the curriculum issues and focus on the “suitable provision for finance” phrase. The state might try to justify its expenditures on public schools by offering comparisons with what other states are doing or some other measure.

The bottom line, of course, is that no matter how the Legislature defines the state’s educational responsibilities or “suitable provision for finance,” the Kansas courts will have the last word on whether that definition is what the writers of the constitution had in mind. Unless legislators pursue a constitutional amendment to define these terms, it will be the courts’ responsibility to measure any statutes that are passed against the existing language in the constitution.

The word “suitable,” as it’s used in Article 6 of the Kansas Constitution, obviously could be interpreted in a number of ways. It will be interesting to see what the Legislature comes up with — and whether the courts agree.

Political civility difficult to define Here’s how lacking in civility we are today: We have spent the past two weeks debating what civility is, and why the people we don’t like don’t have it.

Look up the meaning of the word “civility” and you will find that it is rooted in the notion of being part of a city. In our urban age, that should make civility fairly common. But because we know that common sense isn’t, we also know that civility isn’t exactly overflowing, even in a nation that considers itself, after the Book of Matthew (as adapted

by John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan, who both seized on the simile), as a city upon a hill.

Let’s first stipulate that politics as practiced since the United States became a nation has been largely nonviolent — but seldom confectionery or kind. There was the vicious campaign of 1800, the derision directed at Abraham Lincoln, the slur-filled struggle between James G. Blaine and Grover Cleveland in 1884, the bitter battle between Al Gore and George W. Bush a decade ago.

No doubt the presence of struggle and battle in the last sentence struck you as being completely unremarkable, which helps prove my point. We’re used to martial references in our politics. The word campaign originally meant a military operation.

U.S. politics ain’t beanbag (the credit for that insight goes to the great Peter Finley Dunne). It ain’t kind, either.

Prized virtue And yet pugilists (there I go again, as Reagan would say) on both sides prize civility, claim it for their own, deny its presence in their opponents and salute random acts of it, which in some ways only underlines how rare civility is.

For a generation, commentators, myself included, have celebrated the wonderful relationships cultivated by former Speak-

David Shribman Civility is a noble “concept, but it sometimes is confused with mushiness.”

er Thomas P. O’Neill Jr., first with longtime minority leader Bob Michel and then with Reagan.

The mythology is that O’Neill loved to share a lazy afternoon on the golf links with Michel and an early-evening pop with Reagan.

The work-hard, play-hard narrative is that they fought like animals during the day and relaxed like pals after hours.

These myths didn’t arise from nothing. There were in fact golf outings and the clinking of glasses — and staff relationships that have no equal today. Last week Chris Matthews, a former O’Neill aide, celebrated the speakerpresident relationship and quoted Reagan as saying, “The speaker says that here in Washington we’re all friends after 6.”

I’m not sure that means very much. Being chummy in private, where it doesn’t matter, but churlish in public, where it does, is no recipe for civility in public affairs.

In truth, the Democrats of that period ran a tyrannical House, where Republican privileges and prerogatives were severely limited. For all the time he spent on the fairways with O’Neill, Michel was always a supplicant, not a political equal — until Michel had a semblance of a working majority because so many conservative Southern Democrats,

known as Boll Weevils, were voting with the Republicans on tax and budget matters.

And it is beyond contention that O’Neill and his allies mounted a ferocious offensive against Reagan in the 1982 midterm congressional elections, portraying the president as a cruel enemy of the aged and an unfeeling plutocrat ready to break faith with the American promise of Social Security.

Reagan’s forces returned the attacks in kind, focusing on O’Neill’s portly profile and his liberal spending record. Lucky for the speaker, earmarks weren’t earmarked for extinction in his time, or else there would be no billion-dollar warren of new tunnels under Boston today.

Civility more elusive The problem with the civility serenades we are hearing in the wake of the tragic shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and others in Tucson is that they are blatantly political in a way that makes a mockery of civility itself.

Still, it is true that inter-party civility might be harder to achieve today than it was in the recent past.

As the Boll Weevil example suggests, as recently as a quartercentury ago there were large groups of political figures with affinity for the views of the opposing party. It was easier, for example, for Lyndon B. Johnson to win the support of Everett M. Dirksen of Illinois, the Republican leader in the Senate, for civil rights legislation than it was to attract Southern Democratic votes. In fact, a larger percentage of GOP senators than Democratic senators voted for the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Dirksen and Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield had an easier time displaying civility in 1964 than Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and his Republican counterpart, Mitch McConnell, do today.

And for all his problems with Republican lawmakers who opposed the New Deal, Franklin Roosevelt was far less than civil with Sens. Walter George, Ellison D. “Cotton Ed” Smith and Millard Tydings, Democrats he brutally sought to defeat in primaries.

A moving target Civility can be a sometime thing. No two figures inspire more partisan controversy than former Sens. Robert J. Dole, whose sharp remarks as the Republicans’ vice presidential candidate in 1976 still rankle Democrats, and George S. McGovern, whose 1972 Democratic presidential campaign remains a target of Republican bromides today. And yet Dole and McGovern, both from agricultural states, teamed up to support food-stamp legislation and were jointly honored in 2008 with the World Food Prize for their efforts to battle hunger among the world’s poor. That is civility with a civilizing touch.

Civility is a noble concept, but it sometimes is confused with mushiness. Barry Goldwater, who was salty but civil, once derided fellow Republican Dwight Eisenhower, who was the epitome of civility, as a dime-store New Dealer. In the political life that followed his military career, Eisenhower accepted many of the tenets of the two Democratic presidents who preceded him, which made it all the easier for his rivals to think him civil.

Indeed, in the past several years, liberals have celebrated conservatives who come to their side, if only for an issue or two, while conservatives have saluted liberals who wander into their political wheelhouse from time to time. But there is a difference between civility and complicity.

We need not insist on the latter in our search for the former.

From the Lawrence Daily World for Jan. 24, 1911: “Cloudy weather is intellectual weather in Lawrence. There’s a YEARS reason. When the sun is shining AGO enticingly, milady takes her pen in IN 1911 hand and sends out invitations to a dinner bridge, or trips down town shopping, or takes the car out and goes calling. When the sun sulks and it is dismal outdoors and gloomy within, she sends one of the children to the library after the latest atrocity in the crop of frivolous, frothy novels. If you doubt it, look at the librarian’s report of books taken from the treasure-filled shelves.”

“The inhabitants of the old county jail who are marooned there under a quarantine flag [see OHT for Jan. 12, 1911] got lots of exercise this morning, shivering with fear. One of their number had a high fever and exhibited other symptoms of small pox.”

U.S. higher education is falling behind

By Gene A. Budig

As a professor for more than 30 years, I have reread many facts and figures, often uncovering something new or more relevant with each reading.

One such example was the 2010 edition of the College Board’s report on college completion.

When the report was released last fall, the national press focused on the fact that the America ranked sixth in the world in postsecondary attainment among 25- to 64-year-olds.

But this wide angle lens missed key details of the picture. And I missed it the first time too.

What most of the major news outlets failed to mention is that

the United States has an aging and highly educated workforce that is preparing to retire in the next decade. For this group of 55-64 year-olds, we Budig rank fourth in higher ed completion. But for 25-34 year olds — the future of our workforce — we rank 12th. In this most critical race, we trail Canada, Korea, the Russian Federation, Japan, New Zealand, Ireland, Norway, Israel, France, Belgium and Australia.

So at a time when we are preoccupied with the global competition offered by developing

nations, we are entering a weakened state, and the clock is ticking.

What’s more troubling is that replacements are not coming at a rate needed to fill the void.

The College Board believes that to be competitive in the long-term international economy, 55 percent of Americans will need an associate’s degree or higher by 2025. Yet the nation is currently 13.4 percentage points away from achieving this ambitious goal — more than just a stone’s throw. Clearly we have a lot of ground to make up and not that much time.

But all is not lost. If we treat our mission with the urgency of war, and the diplomacy of peace, there is no doubt in my mind that it is achievable. I believe that

America can regain the lead. We will do it by investing wisely in higher education, zeroing in on access, admission and success.

But this isn’t just a time trial.

China and India are determined to beat the United States to the finish line, and our head start has evaporated.

Super hair day: Steelers versus Packers

By Paul Newberry Associated Press National Writer

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Here we go again Stop me if you’ve heard this before, but I really thought things would be different this year, really believed this Kansas University women’s basketball team would end the drought and make the NCAA Tournament field.

And then the Big 12 portion of the schedule came along, and, so far at least, the Jayhawks have reverted to form. It’s becoming more difficult to believe.

Fifteenth-year Oklahoma coach Sherri Coale has had better teams than the 14th-ranked one that visited Allen Fieldhouse for a Sunday afternoon game that drew 3,111 spectators in from the cold.

Still, these Sooners were plenty good enough to defeat Kansas, 75-57. It dropped the Jayhawks to 14-5 overall, 1-4 in Big 12 play.

The fire and passion of an underdog burning to upset a big-name opponent to spark a listless season was nowhere in sight. Oklahoma cruised to a 4326 halftime lead and didn’t look the least bit rattled when Kansas cut the deficit to 10 points.

For stretches in the first half, as so often seems to be the case, the Jayhawks didn’t look like athletes playing basketball.

Instead, they looked more like they were performing in a basketball play scripted by director Bonnie Henrickson. They looked as if they were remembering their lines instead of feeling their way through the challenge. That can make it tougher to play with unbridled aggression and confidence. Too much thinking and not enough playing can make for a joyless team.

Fox Sports Network carried the game, and it wasn’t as easy as you might think to resist the urge to holler at the coaches and players, “Smile, you’re on national TV!” Kansas had its moments, many supplied by entertaining sophomore point guard Angel Goodrich. The more distance she puts on her most recent knee surgery, the more daring she becomes as a penetrator and scorer. Her talent translates well to any level of competition, as she showed by scoring a season-high 13 points to go with three rebounds, three assists and a steal against the talented Sooners guards.

On a day when all but 26 minutes were used by the five starters, things didn’t go as well for center Carolyn Davis. Normally a reliable shooter from down low and the free-throw line, Davis made four of 10 field goals and eight of 15 free throws.

A 7-9 regular-season conference record, which would be the best in the Big 12 for Henrickson in her seventh season, could be enough to get an NCAA Tourney bid, especially with a victory or two in the conference tournament. But without sweeping this week’s road games against the school’s top two rivals, Missouri and Kansas State, it’s tough to find seven conference victories on the schedule.

Is the disparity of opponents between the nonconference and conference seasons so great that it’s tough for Henrickson to gauge how good a team she has until Big 12 play?

“The speed and length and athleticism in this league is unparalleled in any other league,” Henrickson said. “What you don’t want to do is play that in your nonconference if you’re trying to grow, especially as young as we are.”

The team is young, but the lights-out nonconference performances followed by losing Big 12 records is getting old.

Get ready for a hair-raisin’ Super Bowl in Big D. No barbers necessary, that’s for sure, when the Steelers face the Packers.

Troy Polamalu and the Steel Curtain led Pittsburgh into the big game for the third time in six years, holding off Rex Ryan and those big-talkin’ Jets, 24-19, in the AFC championship game Sunday.

The black-and-gold already have won six Super Bowl rings, more than any franchise, but they’ll be going against a team that can hold its own in the history department.

Green Bay was the Monster of the Midway in the NFC, winning its third straight road playoff game, 21-14, over the rival Chicago Bears. The Packers can also hold their own in the hair department, too, with the grungy locks of Clay Matthews matched

against Polamalu’s thick mass of curls.

A pair of over-the-top ’dos for America’s most outsized sporting event, a de facto national holiday that brings all of America together in front of their highdef, big-screen TVs for a blitz of salsa and wings, unabashed capitalism and glitzy halftime shows — and, for most of the past decade, some dang good football.

And let’s not forget our other national pastime: gambling.

The Packers opened as 2 1⁄ 2point favorites for the game Feb. 6 at Cowboys Stadium, the spaceship of a stadium that Jerry Jones built to showcase a game as big as all of Texas.

That spread sounds about right, based on the classic finishes that have become the norm in a game that used to be anything but Super on the field.

Sizzling Sooners scorch KU

By Ben Ward Journal-World Sports Writer

When Kansas University’s women’s basketball team needed a basket the most, there wasn’t anyone wearing a blue uniform who could knock it down.

The team wearing red, 14thranked Oklahoma, had three players who were more than capable.

Behind a barrage of outside shooting, the Sooners blasted the Jayhawks, 75-57, on Sunday afternoon at Allen Fieldhouse.

Aaryn Ellenberg (28 points, 6-of10 three-pointers) and Whitney Hand (21 points, 3-of-6 threepointers) were near unstoppable outside, and when they weren’t hitting, senior Danielle Robinson (12 points) was.

“It felt good, I’m not going to lie,” OU coach Sherri Coale said. “The game is just so much easier (when you make shots); every pass, you trust yourself in transition more. It takes a lot of pressure off, and it just changes the way you feel.”

The Sooners (15-3 overall, 5-0 Big

KANSAS GUARD KEENA MAYS, LEFT, and forward Tania Jackson watch the final minutes.

12), who won their previous three games despite shooting around the 30-percent mark, made 50.8 percent of their shots Sunday, including 50 percent of their threes.

“There were too many that were uncontested,” KU coach Bonnie

Henrickson said. “But even the contested ones, those two kept focused and knocked them down.”

The Jayhawks (14-5, 1-4) were only 2-for-7 from behind the arc.

LA QUINTA, CALIF. (AP) — Jhonattan Vegas’ path to the PGA Tour started in the remote reaches of Venezuela, where the toddler imitated his father’s golf swing with sticks and stones while growing up in an oil-drilling camp.

Maybe that’s why Vegas never gave up hope when he missed a nine-foot putt that could have won the Bob Hope Classic on the final regulation hole Sunday — or even when he put his playoff tee shot into the water moments later.

The 26-yearold rookie needed a wealth of patience and perseverance just to make it to Palm Springs from Vegas that camp in the Orinoco River valley.

And when Gary Woodland made a few mistakes of his own, the man they’re already calling Jhonny Vegas hit the biggest jackpot of his pioneering career.

Vegas made a 13-foot par putt on the second playoff hole to win the Hope Classic, holding off Woodland for his first PGA Tour victory in just his fifth start.

Vegas is the first Venezuelan to win a PGA Tour event, but his remarkably steady performance over 92 holes in the five-day event suggests he’s capable of winning again — and maybe Please see WOODLAND, page 3B

Robinson expected to make trip to CU

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Thomas Robinson likely will travel with Kansas to Colorado

Kansas University sophomore basketball forward Thomas Robinson plans to make today’s trip to Colorado with his teammates and play in Tuesday’s 7 p.m., game against the Buffs, coach Bill Self said Sunday night.

Robinson’s mother, Lisa, died of an apparent heart attack late Friday night in Washington, D.C.

“The plan now is to go to Colorado, yes, then go to D.C. on Wednesday,” Self said, noting Lisa’s funeral may be held Thursday. “It’s difficult to get everything set up over the weekend, and things could change.”

KU fans on Internet message boards have asked if a fund could be set up, perhaps to go toward the college education of Robinson’s younger sister, Jayla Paris.

“I would say, don’t do anything

like that until you’ve been told it’s OK (by KU officials sometime in future),” Self said. “We’ve had so many people reach out with sympathy and offering assistance. It makes you proud to be at a place where so many people care. But anything more than thoughts, prayers and well-wishes should be held up until the NCAA would let us know exactly if and what could be done.”

Early indications are it likely

would be against the rules for fans to provide funds in such a situation. That likely would be deemed an extra benefit for the student-athlete, even in such a tragic situation.

Self earlier Sunday on his weekly TV show indicated a member of the staff likely would fly to D.C. with Robinson to help support him this week.

COMING TUESDAY • Previewing the Kansas men’s basketball team’s game at Colorado

Dolgopolov’s cross-court backhand to bring up his first match point was typical of the 50 winners he hit against a stunned Soderling, the highest of the seeded players knocked out of the men’s draw.

Soderling saved three match points, but his run came to an end with another unforced error, his 51st. He was a win away from completing a set of quarterf inals appearances at all four majors.

Dolgopolov earned nine breaks in the match, including three times after conceding a break himself in the fifth set. The 26-year-old Soderling had only dropped his serve twice this year.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY

Soderling bounced at Aussie Open M E L B O U R N E , A U S T R A L I A ( AP ) — French Open finalist Robin Soderling is out of the Australian Open following the biggest upset to date in the year’s first major.

Alexandr Dolgopolov stopped Soderling’s eight-match winning streak with a 1-6, 6-3, 6-1, 4-6, 6-2 win today, reaching the quarterfinals in his first trip to Melbourne.

The fourth-seeded Soderling hadn’t dropped a set during his surge that started with his run to the final at the Brisbane tuneup event. He dominated the opening set but couldn’t keep it up against the 22-year-old Ukrainian, making his fourth appearance in a major.

TWO-DAY

“I’m trying to get his weak side and play uncomfortable for him — then if I have chances to make winners, that’s my game,” Dolgopolov said. “He has one of the hardest balls on tour but I was able to read his serve pretty well.

“I saw his shots pretty well, so it paid off.”

He next plays either 2010 finalist Andy Murray of Britain or No. 11 Jurgen Melzer.

Dolgopolov said his father worked as a coach for the likes of Andrei Medvedev, so he sometimes hit with the players when they were practicing.

“For sure I had some good times.

I was a bit maybe annoying for some players to play with me,” he said. “It was nice to start a tennis career like that.”

In the earlier women’s match, No. 25 Petra Kvitova beat No. 22 Flavia Pennetta, 3-6, 6-3, 6-3.

Andy Roddick’s fourth-round 63, 6-4, 6-4 loss to 19th-seeded Stanislas Wawrinka on Sunday night means there’s no Americans in the men’s or women’s quarterfinals.

The eighth-seeded Roddick was the last American man standing.

COMMENTARY

Super Bowl has the right ingredients

By Rich Hofmann Philadelphia Daily News

Pittsburgh Steelers, Green Bay Packers, Super Bowl XLV. The Steelers have won six Super Bowls, the Packers have won three and that’s just the way it is. The rich get richer and the Eagles search for a defensive coordinator.

For whatever it’s worth, the right two teams got through Sunday — Packers over Bears, Steelers over Jets. Also, for whatever it’s worth, the Eagles aren’t a million miles away from playing in this game again. They need a better defense — nobody has ever won a Super Bowl allowing 377 points, which is what the Eagles allowed in 2010 — but they do not necessarily need a great defense.

These things run in cycles. This year, the top two teams in scoring defense made it to the Super Bowl, but it isn’t always that way. The New Orleans Saints won it with offense last season. The Indianapolis Colts won it with offense in the 2006 season.

The key is still to be great at something, and the Eagles can be great at offense (assuming that the end of this season was not the blueprint everyone will use to terrorize Michael Vick in the future).

You wonder about winning it with offense in northeastern winter weather, especially if you don’t run the ball more than the Eagles typically do. You wonder about how Vick is possibly going to stay healthy when the NFL goes about the absurdity of an 18-game season, and how you can count on winning it with offense if you can’t count on a healthy quarterback. These are legitimate questions for a long winter.

The next Super Bowl, after this one, after the anticipated lockout, is likely to be won by the coaching staff and the front office that best navigates through this uncertainty. That, also, is presumably what this defensive coaching staff shakeup is all about.

But between then and now, there is Super Bowl XLV — Steelers, Packers, defense. Same as it ever was.

Now for a word about the Bears: ugh.

Happiness is not having to cover that team. First, there is the whole Jay Cutler business, which is beyond impossible in a journalistic sense. He says his knee was hurt and that the doctors made the decision to pull him from the game. To question this is somewhere between lamentable and lousy, but that is what is currently happening. People inside and outside the football business are all over this one.

Like Eagles cornerback Asante Samuel, who wrote on Twitter, among other things, “Man shoot that s — — up with a needle. He ain’t got to do much jus drop back and throw the ball.”

It isn’t right, but nobody will be talking about anything else for days — except for the matter of Bears coach Lovie Smith.

After Cutler left the game, and after venerable backup Todd Collins proved to be awful, the decision was made to go to third-stringer Caleb Hanie. It was a good call — Hanie rallied the Bears admirably, all things considered — but Smith committed coaching malpractice by putting in Hanie with 57 seconds left in the third quarter, thereby losing the opportunity to re-insert either Collins or Cutler back into the game in an emergency.

If you wait until the start of the fourth quarter before putting in the designated third quarterback, you can go back to the other guys. Let Collins hand off twice — as Hanie did anyway in his first two plays — and all options remain open.

Again, it was malpractice.

And somebody else’s problem.

If the Bears and Jets had managed to win Sunday, they might just have formed the worst pair of contestants in Super Bowl history. The Packers and Steelers spared us all from that.

Cook claims Champions win; Watson third KAUPULEHU-KONA, HAWAII — John Cook birdied five straight holes after the turn to win the Champions Tour’s season-opening Mitsubishi Electric Championship on Sunday, shooting a second straight 8-under 64 for a two-stroke victory over Tom Lehman.

The 53-year-old Cook had eight birdies in his bogey-free round for a 22Cook under 194 total and his second-straight victory. He finished last season with a successful title defense in the Charles Schwab Cup Championship.

The last player to win the last and first events on the Champions Tour was Gil Morgan in 1997-98.

BASEBALL Rangers, RHP O’Day agree ARLINGTON, TEXAS — Right-hander Darren O’Day and the Texas Rangers have agreed to terms on a $1.25 million, one-year deal, avoiding salary arbitration for the side-arming reliever.

CYCLING Armstrong mum on drug report ADELAIDE, AUSTRALIA — Lance Armstrong accepted a gift on stage and thanked the cheering fans for an “unbelievable event.”

But after finishing 67th Sunday in what he says is his final race outside the United States, Armstrong again had nothing to say about the latest round of drug allegations.

The seven-time Tour de France champion rode in the back half of the main pack for most of the last stage of the Tour Down Under. He crossed the line as the 103rd rider and wound up more than six minutes behind overall winner Cameron Meyer.

Armstrong brushed past reporters without addressing questions raised by Sports Illustrated — a matter he has refused to discuss.

Kansas’ Prep defensive ends commit to KU ‘psyche’ worries Self

By Matt Tait

mtait@ljworld.com

Kansas University’s football program received oral commitments from a pair of defensive ends Sunday, bringing the Jayhawks’ total haul from the Class of 2011 to 25.

Michael Reynolds, a three-

star defensive end from Wichita’s Kapaun-Mt. Carmel High, elected to join the Jayhawks Sunday morning, and, a few hours later, Javonte Daniel, a three-star defensive end from LaGrange (Ga.) High of nearly identical size, revealed his intention to play for KU coach Turner Gill next season as well.

Both players are among the most highly sought-after recruits in KU’s most recent class. Reynolds, 6-foot-4, 220 pounds, chose Kansas over TCU, Kansas State, Oklahoma State and Indiana, among others. Daniel, 6-4, 215, tapped KU over SEC schools Arkansas, Kentucky and Mississippi State.

Both players were in Lawrence this weekend and, between touring the facilities, meeting the players and coaches and attending the basketball game between KU and Texas, both saw enough to commit.

“I really liked all of the coaches and the atmosphere,” Reynolds told

Rivals.com Sunday afternoon. “I was at the basketball (game), and that crowd was (like) nothing I have ever seen. They are building the program, and I want to be a part of that.”

Added Daniel: “Everyone was respectful. They were the kind of guys you would want to have as teammates.”

“Being the man of the house, he has to get a lot of things straight,” Self said. “We need to have some people work with him on educating him how to do it and probably have a coach go home with him to help him through that. Then, whenever the services are, if it’s all possible, I’m sure several of us will be able to attend.

“It’s a tough time for our whole team. One thing I was proud of, you can kind of see how we feel about each other through tragedy. Those guys (teammates) were pillars for him. Some of the parents in the area of the other players were unbelievable. They see all the boys as their own.”

Colorado enters Tuesday’s game with a 14-6 record, 3-2 in league play.

“Colorado is good. I am concerned about Colorado.

I’m more concerned about the psyche of our team,” said Self, whose Jayhawks fell to Texas, 74-63, Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse. “We’ve got to talk through some things in the next 48 hours to give us the best chance to go prepare and win because that’s what Thomas wants us to do. He was very adamant about that yesterday when he spoke to the team (before Texas game).

It was a great team moment.

Hopefully we’ll rally around the situation, not because of basketball, but it’s something he’d want us to do for him.”

even energizing an unpopular sport in his homeland.

“Just to think about winning on the PGA Tour, that’s something,” Vegas said. “But to make it happen is something else, and it’s a crazy feeling. It was tough today to stay neutral and play golf, and that’s why. To my country, I hope this means a lot. I really hope it means people changing (their minds) about the sport.”

Vegas and Woodland eliminated defending champion Bill Haas with birdies on the first playoff hole after all three finished the final round at 27under 333.

Vegas and Woodland closed with 3-under 69s and Haas shot a 66.

Playing one group apart, Haas and Vegas both missed short putts on the final regulation hole. A few minutes after Haas botched a 6-footer for birdie, Vegas couldn’t connect, making his only bogey of the final day. Woodland, who shared the lead with Vegas after each of the final three rounds, got into the playoff with a birdie on the final regulation hole.

KU basketball video coordinator Kyle Keller will travel to Stillwater, Okla., Wednesday to attend a banquet held to honor the memory of the 10 individuals from the Oklahoma State basketball program who were killed in a plane crash on Jan. 27, 2001, near Byers, Colo. Keller was an assistant coach at Oklahoma State at the time.

“There will be a lot of hugs, kisses, tears, unique feelings.

Hopefully it is a joyous time,” Keller said Sunday night. “It is a celebration of the lives of 10 incredible men. These are people who helped shape my life and their family members who helped shape my life.”

Keller’s e-mail box was flooded Sunday from wellwishers who watched an episode of ESPN’s “Outside The Lines” focusing on the upcoming 10-year anniversary of the plane crash.

Ten years ago, three OSU planes were to carry the Cowboy traveling party back from a game at Colorado.

Keller initially was to have returned to Stillwater on the plane that crashed. However, coach Eddie Sutton had Keller switch with Keller’s cousin, OSU guard Nate Fleming, at the last minute.

“I flew up on that plane, and Nate came back on it,” Keller said. “Coach wanted me to grade the film of the Colorado game (and work on the scout of the upcoming Texas Tech game) when we got back. The jet was faster, and we’d be back 40, 45 minutes earlier (than other planes). Coach said, ‘I want you to the grade the film,’ so we made the switch.

“It was obviously a dramatic deal in my life,” Keller added. “To not only lose 10 fantastic men, to lose not only a member of the basketball team, but a family member (Fleming) ... Something like that will change you forever.

I’m fortunate in that my family never blamed me. My relationship with the Fleming family only became stronger.

“God has a plan for all of us,” Keller continued. “My cousin Nate was 20. I was 33. Do I think it was fair I get to live longer?

No, but it’s not my choice. I can’t go a day without thinking about it. I think about those 10 great men and their unbelievable character. If I don’t take the things they taught me, the lessons those individuals taught me and apply it to my life, then I have failed.”

Keller and his wife, Chaunsea, named their son — Kemper Nathan — in honor of Nate Fleming.

Mountains, Vegas got help from two poor shots by Woodland, who also was seeking his first tour win.

Woodland’s approach shot landed in a bunker, and his sand shot trickled to the opposite side of the green.

After his drop, Vegas confidently put a 9-iron right behind the pin. Woodland missed a par putt, and Vegas holed his $900,000 putt.

“Seemed like we were out there forever,” said Woodland, a former college basketball player who played collegiate golf at Kansas University. “We were grinding all day.

Jhonattan got off to a pretty good start, and I was just trying to catch him all day, so the playoff was no different. It was just sudden death, but

KU women fall to OU, 75-57 CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

Bolstered by the hot shooting of Ellenberg and Hand, the Sooners went on two lengthy first-half runs that put them up, 43-26, at the half.

Ellenberg had 21 points at the break and made all five of her threes, and Hand had 16 points of her own. Both looked unshakeable even with a defending hand in their face.

“I really feel like we’ve got good enough shooters as to where it doesn’t matter,” Hand said.

Coale felt a sense of where the game was headed once the first few threes went down.

“It doesn’t take long,” Coale said. “If (Ellenberg) hits one, look out.”

Sophomore Carolyn Davis led KU with 16 points and seven rebounds, and sophomore guard Angel Goodrich chipped in with nine, but the disparity in outside shooting heavily favored the Sooners.

“It did seem like they were making every single shot,” Goodrich said.

Kansas showed plenty of fight in the second half. The Jayhawks picked up the pace defensively, attacked the basket and on several occasions whittled the lead to as few as 10 points.

But every time it seemed the Jayhawks might keep chipping away, the Sooners had an answer.

“It was tough,” Davis said.

“It’s a momentum killer when you get the bucket and they come back down and score.”

Many of the run-ending shots were courtesy of Robinson, who torched KU with a smooth, midrange jumper once Ellenberg and Hand had cooled off.

“That’s where the team has to know who their go-to guy is,” Coale said.

The Jayhawks have yet to defeat the Sooners under Henrickson, and now sit tied for last in the Big 12, with two

The Jayhawks lamented points they left on the floor, which Henrickson estimated at being between 25 to 30 in missed layups and free throws, where KU was only 19-of-32.

COMMENTARY

NFC CHAMPIONSHIP

Cutler chasing Rodgers

QB Rodgers keys Packers past Bears

By Chris Jenkins Associated Press Sports Writer

By Dan Pompei Chicago Tribune

CHICAGO — If the NFC championship game were a gunfight, Jay Cutler never got his pistol out of his holster. Aaron Rodgers staggered the Bears before they knew what hit them.

The duel went to Rodgers.

The game went to the Packers.

And the Bears were left wondering if Rodgers will keep winning these gunfights. In Cutler’s 10 quarters against the Packers this season, he led the Bears to 16 points.

Rodgers’ final numbers were not impressive, but his impact on the game was. On the opening drive, he carved up the Bears defense by going 5-for-5 for 76 yards, then ran it in for a 7-0 lead.

He helped double the lead in the second quarter by directing another scoring drive.

Maybe this would be a different story if Cutler had not hurt his knee. Maybe he would have led a heroic comeback, and Chicago would be celebrating the day Cutler overthrew the quarterback king in the NFC North.

Instead, Chicago is ruing the day Cutler twice overthrew Devin Hester deep.

Cutler completed only two passes to wide receivers and failed to put a point on the board in two quarters. He fumbled once and was intercepted on his final throw, though he apparently was injured at the time.

You can criticize Cutler for a lot of things, but toughness is not one of them. He takes big hits and bounces back. He might be able to withstand punishment as well as any quarterback I’ve seen, dating to his days at Vanderbilt. If anything, he might be too tough for his own good.

So, in what could have been a defining game, courage wasn’t the issue as much as efficiency.

As it turned out, Cutler was less efficient than not only Rodgers, but also Caleb Hanie, who is supposed to be a professional clipboard holder.

“I kind of wish we had Jay in there the whole game the way things were going,” Packers linebacker Clay Matthews said.

Ouch.

If, as he matures, Cutler becomes the second-best quarterback in the NFL, it might not be good enough if the best is Rodgers. He’ll always be Cutler’s standard because he’ll be standing between Cutler and his ultimate goals as long as Cutler is a Bear and Rodgers a Packer.

If the rivalry develops to its ultimate form, Cutler and Rodgers will continue to elevate their games and bring out the best in each other twice, maybe three times every season. That’s a nice scenario to dream about.

But Cutler has some catching up to do. Rodgers is a Super Bowl quarterback.

At this stage of Cutler’s career, he is not where Rodgers is. Both are 27. Cutler is one year behind Rodgers in NFL experience.

But Rodgers is more of an old soul of a quarterback.

He has been in the same offense for his entire career, playing for the same head coach for five years. He has been throwing passes to Donald Driver since his first season and Greg Jennings since his second.

Cutler has played under four offensive coordinators.

He still is getting to know his latest offense, his third in three years. He still is getting to know his receivers. It’s a process that can’t be rushed.

Cutler might never get to where Rodgers is, but if there is any chance of closing the gap, it will be through continuity. The Bears can’t keep changing wide receivers, offensive coordinators or head coaches.

They have a good thing going. They just haven’t had it going long enough.

PITTSBURGH QUARTERBACK BEN ROETHLISBERGER (7) BEATS New York’s Josh Mauga (58) and defensive tackle Sione Pouha (91) on a touchdown in the first half. The Steelers held off the Jets and won the AFC Championship, 24-19, on Sunday in Pittsburgh.

AFC CHAMPIONSHIP

Steelers silence fiery, loud-mouth Jets, 24-19

By Barry Wilner Associated Press Sports Writer

PITTSBURGH — Ben Roethlisberger knelt on the turf and buried his head in an AFC championship shirt.

“I’m going to enjoy this,” he later said.

No one had to ask what he meant.

A season that began with a four-game suspension is one win away from giving him a third Super Bowl victory.

His Pittsburgh Steelers hung on Sunday and won their third AFC championship in six years, 24-19 over the New York Jets.

Terrible Towels will wave again at the Super Bowl, where the Steelers will meet Green Bay after silencing Rex Ryan’s wild bunch. Look out Big D, here comes another Big D — in black and gold, and with an unmatched history of carrying off the Lombardi Trophy.

And here comes a quarterback with a history of winning the big ones.

“Shoot, any time you get to the Super Bowl, it feels good,” Roethlisberger said. “I don’t care what you’re going through or what’s going on.

We put a lot of stuff behind us early and found a way.”

They clearly found a way to shut down the Jets’ season, ending it the way it started — with hard knocks. And not the kind on HBO. The Steelers (14-4) will challenge the Packers, who 1 are 2 ⁄2-point favorites, with a versatile attack led by their quarterback and running back Rashard Mendenhall.

And with a defense, led by James Harrison, that had a fumble return for a touchdown and a goal-line stand that shut down the Jets’ comeback in the fourth quarter. It will certainly test Aaron Rodgers in the title game in Dallas on Feb. 6.

That smothering defense set the tone for most of a frigid night at Heinz Field to end the Jets’ stunning postseason run.

Ryan slammed down his headset when Antonio Brown caught a pass for a first down

that allowed Pittsburgh to hang on and run out the clock.

“It’s not always pretty with us,” Roethlisberger said, “but we do the job. We have a lot of tenacity. We have a don’t quit attitude and mentality. Everybody is just always there for each other.”

The Steelers ended the Jets’ season with a dominant first half for a 24-3 lead. Mendenhall had 95 of his 121 yards and a touchdown.

“We played a good half. We never played a good game, and that was the difference,” Ryan said in a postgame interview with CBS. “You get to this point, you’ve got to play a great game against a great opponent and we played a good half and that was it.”

One more great game by Roethlisberger and his teammates and the season will end in a way hardly anyone could foresee back in September.

He sat out the season’s first four games for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy — an outgrowth of a col-

lege student’s accusations that he sexually assaulted her in Georgia last March. The quarterback was never prosecuted over what was the second such set of allegations against him.

Now he will lead the Steelers into their eighth Super Bowl, a game they handle pretty well — and have a record six titles to show for it.

The cocky Jets seemed to have left everything they had in New England last Sunday.

There was little trash talking all week and even less fire early in their biggest game since winning the championship 42 years ago. They haven’t been back to the Super Bowl.

The Steelers are regulars, including Super Bowl titles for the 2005 and 2008 teams, both led by Roethlisberger and a fierce defense sparked by playmaking safety Troy Polamalu.

Polamalu, his long hair flowing from under his helmet, didn’t have to do a whole lot this time. Not with the way his teammates whipped the Jets at the line of scrimmage before a spirited New York surge in the second half.

“We overcame a lot more obstacles this year than we have in the past,” Polamalu said. “But we still got one more to go. “ And too often, New York’s defense was like a swinging gate that Roethlisberger and Mendenhall ran through with ease.

New York (13-6) failed for the fourth time in the AFC title game since 1969, when the Jets won perhaps the most significant of all Super Bowls.

It was a devastating finish, particularly after the Jets beat Peyton Manning and the Colts, then Tom Brady and the Patriots on the road to get to Pittsburgh.

Asked if he would change anything about this season, Ryan said, “I would change the outcome of this game and that’s the only thing I would change. We don’t need to apologize to anybody. We’ll be back, you’ll see.”

CHICAGO — There was one Monster of the Midway in the NFC championship game, and his name was Aaron Rodgers.

He wasn’t even at his best and, still, he was better than the first, the second and the third quarterback used in vain by the Chicago Bears against their bitter rivals.

Rodgers ran for a score and made a TD-saving tackle in leading the Green Bay Packers into the Super Bowl with a bone-jarring 21-14 victory Sunday over Chicago.

“It’s an incredible feeling,” Rodgers said. “I’m at a loss for words.”

Rodgers played well enough to keep the Bears off balance all afternoon, Green Bay punter Tim Masthay kept Devin Hester under wraps, and the Packers’ superb defense took care of the rest in knocking the Bears out of the playoffs.

It was the 182nd meeting in the league’s most historic feud, and the stakes had never been bigger.

Now the Packers (13-6) are headed to Dallas. And no matter what happens in the Super Bowl on Feb. 6, the Packers and their fans hold ultimate bragging rights over their foes to the south. Green Bay will face the AFC Champion Pittsburgh Steelers.

“We made a play to win the game and that’s all that matters,” Packers linebacker Clay Matthews said. “Keep playing defense the way we know how, and it’s going to be tough for teams to beat us.”

All Jay Cutler could do was watch, having left the game with a knee injury early in the third quarter. Even before the injury, Cutler was having trouble moving the ball.

Worse, he was getting booed by the home fans.

Primary backup Todd Collins replaced Cutler and was jeered even worse. Then little-known backup Caleb Hanie and the Bears (12-6) actually made it a game.

Chicago’s third-string quarterback rallied the Bears for a touchdown drive to cut the lead to 14-7 after Chester Taylor’s 1-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter.

Hanie had a chance to tie the game after the Bears’ defense f inally got a few stops, but threw a ball straight

to Packers defensive lineman B.J. Raji, who lumbered 18 yards into the end zone for a touchdown to give the Packers a 21-7 lead.

But Hanie wasn’t finished.

He threw a 35-yard touchdown pass to Earl Bennett to again cut the lead to seven points with 4:43 left.

The Bears forced a punt and got the ball back with under 3 minutes left. Hanie drove the Bears to the Green Bay 29-yard line, then threw a fourth-down interception to Sam Shields — the rookie’s second of the game.

Now all those Pro Bowl voters who didn’t think Rodgers was worthy can relax. They’re off the hook. Rodgers will be headed to the Super Bowl instead.

Rodgers proved ready for the biggest day of his brief but impressive career as the successor to Brett Favre, even if his final stat line didn’t look impressive after an ugly, hardfought game. Rodgers threw for 244 yards with two interceptions.

Bears coach Lovie Smith grew testy after being asked several questions about Cutler’s injury.

“He hurt his knee and he was out, all right?” Smith said.

“There’s nothing else for me to tell you on that. I don’t know exactly when it happened, he couldn’t go and that was that.”

GREEN BAY PACKERS RUNNING BACK JAMES STARKS (44) DIVES FORWARD for a gain as he’s tackled by Chicago safety Major Wright. Starks, who played for current Kansas University coach Turner Gill at the University of Buffalo, rushed for 74 yards and a touchdown in the Packers’ 21-14 victory over the Bears on Sunday in Chicago.

Pittsburgh, Green Bay to meet for Super Bowl CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

Rams stopped the Titans a yard short of the tying score as time ran out, six Super Bowls have been decided by a touchdown or less, many of them going right down to the final seconds.

The storylines abound in this one, from Ben Roethlisberger turning an offseason of discontent into a year of triumph to Aaron Rodgers leading the sixth-seeded Packers to one big win after another, much like the guy whose shadow he’s left in the dust, Brett Favre.

Both teams started strong and held on for dear life to win

their conference titles. Pittsburgh was up 24-0 but needed a goal-line stand to finally silence the Jets. The Packers jumped ahead by two touchdowns on the Bears, who nearly pulled it out with thirdstring quarterback Caleb Hanie leading the comeback.

An interception in the final minute sent Green Bay packing for Dallas.

“We made a play to win the game and that’s all that matters,” Matthews said. “Keep playing defense the way we know how, and it’s going to be tough for teams to beat us.”

Roethlisberger is going for his third title in six years, after

sitting out the first four games as punishment for his behavior in a small Georgia college town over the offseason. He was accused of sexually assaulting a young woman, though no charges were filed.

His reputation took a beating, however.

Having apologized and insisted that he’s a changed man, Big Ben hopes to move him into rarified territory with a third Super Bowl ring.

The only quarterbacks who have won more are Terry Bradshaw and Joe Montana, each with four.

“This one was for Steelers fans,” Roethlisberger said.

“I’m really proud of the way

you came out and supported us.”

Green Bay is known as Titletown USA, but the Packers haven’t won it all since 1997.

The people who wear cartoon-looking blocks of cheese on their heads figure that’s long enough, considering the boys of the frozen tundra have won more titles than any other franchise when taking into account what happened before there was a game with Super in the title.

The Packers count a dozen NFL titles in all, including the first two Super Bowls in 1967 and ’68 with Vince Lombardi stalking the sideline.

That ’97 title, a 14-point romp past the New England Patriots, is the only time Green Bay has hoisted the Vince Lombardi Trophy since then, though.

Green Bay hasn’t had much luck in Dallas, either, losing nine straight games since its last win there in 1989. But all of those defeats came against the hometown Cowboys in old Texas Stadium.

This is a different time, a different place, a different team. The stakes have never been higher.

So break out those Cheeseheads and Terrible Towels.

Just be sure to leave the scissors at home.

Attest /s/ SanDe Fishburn Manager _______

as may be heard at the Douglas County Courthouse, 2nd Floor, 1100 Massachusetts Street, Lawrence, KS 66044, in regard to the issuance by the County of its Industrial Revenue Bonds (Berry Plastics Project), in an aggregate principal amount of not to exceed $21,000,000 (the “Bonds”) and in regard to an exemption from ad valorem taxation of property constructed or purchased with the proceeds of such Bonds. The Bonds are proposed to be issued by the County under authority of K.S.A. 12 1740 et seq., as amended, to provide funds for constructing an approximately 575,000-square-foot building located at the northwest corner of E. 700 Road and N. 1800 Road in rural Douglas County and acquiring and installing machinery and equipment in the building. The County further intends to lease such facility to an entity to be formed, and approve a further sublease of the facility to Berry Plastics Corporation, a Delaware corporation, or another legal entity related thereto. The governing body of the County will not adopt a resolution authorizing the issuance of such revenue bonds until said public hearing has been concluded.

Husband may be mentally ill, but he’s also abusive Dear Annie: I read your response to “Very Unsure,” the woman whose husband was seen having lunch with a female in a cozy booth on the edge of town. The husband’s calendar indicated he had a dentist appointment.

You said it could be “an innocent flirtation.” Since when is it innocent for a married man to meet another woman for a private lunch where he holds her hand, kisses her goodbye and lies about anniesmailbox@creators.com it? It is cheating. — Call a me, he said we couldn’t risk Spade a Spade having people in our small town find out. Sometimes I wonder if he is simply manipulative and cruel. I don’t know how much more of this I can take. Please help. — Emotionally Drained

Universal Crossword

Dear Drained: Even if Steve is mentally ill, his refusal to seek help makes him abusive to you and your children. You can be sympathetic without putting yourself in harm’s way. Contact the National Alliance on Mental Illness (nami.org) at 1-800-950NAMI (1-800-950-6264) and ask for help. We also recommend you contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (1-800-7997233) and consider safely removing yourself and your children from the home environment.

One of the uglier truths in life and one largely unexplored on television is that some adult children just don’t like their parents. And all too often, the feelings are mutual. The abrasive quipping between Charlie Sheen and Holland Taylor on “Two and a Half Men” (8 p.m., CBS) barely masks the show’s theme that the two characters seem tethered together for life through completely contrived bonds of nonaffection.

Perhaps the most idealized relationship between adult child and parent was found on “Frasier,” the series that “Two and a Half Men” clearly imitates, without a fraction of the wit.

Leave it to reality television to bring us generational battle without the scriptdriven bromides.

I have a hard time imagining Paul Sr. from “American Choppers” (8 p.m., Discovery) ruminating on Shakespeare’s words from “King Lear”: “How sharper than a serpent’s tooth it is, to have a thankless child!”

So the muscle-bound motorcyclist expresses himself through lawyers. In tonight’s “Chopper” soap opera, he serves his son and namesake with a second lawsuit.

Meanwhile, both Teutuls unveil new bike designs. Senior’s creation takes him to New York while Junior travels all the way to Florida with his secret project. Perhaps he should stay down there. Most sane people who can’t stand their parents tend to relocate. It’s a big country. And while Shakespeare may not have written it, there is some truth to the old saying, “Absence makes the heart grow fonder.” ● “American Experience” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings) presents “Panama Canal,” a 90-minute film about the massive engineering project completed in 1914. The opening of the canal announced to the world that the United States was the preeminent industrial power in the world, a nation capable of eradicating disease, toppling inconvenient governments, and quite literally changing the face of the Earth.

“Canal” takes a warts-and-all look at this titanic achievement, exploring the misgivings that many of President Theodore Roosevelt’s contemporaries had about our role in creating the nation of Panama just to wrest control of the canal zone from Colombia. It also explores the era’s fixed ideas on race and reflects on the prevailing attitude of the time that nature was a force to be mastered by men, particularly the men who felt it was their destiny to rule the world.

Tonight’s other highlights ● A kick in the boot camp on “House” (7 p.m., Fox). ● Fourteen lovelies remain in the house on “The Bachelor” (7 p.m., ABC). One of them sports a black eye and can’t say how she got it. ● Scales tipped on “The Cape” (8 p.m., NBC). ● A mother becomes a suspect in the abduction of her own child on “Lie to Me” (8 p.m., Fox). ● Sally’s sad story unfolds on “Being Human” (9 p.m., SyFy). ● A floating museum hosts a hostage crisis on “Hawaii Five-O” (9 p.m., CBS,). ● Harry defends an elderly woman who steals to survive on “Harry’s Law” (9 p.m., NBC). ● A kiss is just a kiss on “Castle” (9 p.m., ABC). ● No sympathy for Tea on “Skins” (9 p.m., MTV).

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Monday, Jan. 24: This year, an in-law or a distant associate plays a key role. Your vision becomes broader because of this person. Some of you will be exploring new interests. If single, you could have unusually high energy. If you are attached, the two of you share a new hobby or interest. Scorpio challenges not only you, but also others.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You'll Have: 5Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) ★★★★★ Implementing an idea could test your ability to communicate and move people toward your type of thinking. Tonight: Listen to a loved one's possible ranting.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ★★★ Your ability to bypass problems could be challenged. Information heads down the pike that indicates your processing could be off. Tonight: Don't push yourself. It is only Monday.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ★★★★★ A partner's difficult yet enlightening attitude forces you to revisit an issue. Ask questions. Be willing to pull in

an expert or two. Tonight: Ignoring the fact that it is Monday night.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ★★★★ Handle a personal matter hands-on. You could be overly tired and worn by others. Tonight: Nothing complicated.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★★ Pressure builds around your daily life.

Someone might be attempting to coerce you into doing what he or she wants. Tonight: Visit with a friend.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★ Your instincts often serve you well with finances. A wild risk still could become a big problem. Regroup and rethink recent decisions. Tonight: Balance your checkbook.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★★★ Once more, someone reveals his or her inner agenda. You sometimes get tired of having the same conversation.

Tonight: In your element.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★ If you don't feel up to snuff, take today off.

If you are a bit blue, surround yourself with friends. Tonight: Screen calls.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21) ★★★★ Zero in on your priorities. If you do, someone's heavy-duty

manipulations will remain ineffective. Meetings point you in a new direction.

Tonight: Where people are; not alone.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★ You are at a point where you would like to shed some of your responsibility. Your priorities are rapidly changing and, as a result, what you want to do with your time will change.

Tonight: Burning the candle at both ends.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★★ Reach out for more information and different opinions. Many people would fear this type of diversity, as it would take away or nullify their plan.

Tonight: Find an outlet for your high energy.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★★★ Work with key people individually, allowing a greater give-and-take of ideas. Resist bigger meetings at the moment.

Take some time to sift through different suggestions. Tonight: Catch up on a roommate's or loved one's day.

Dear Annie: I believe my husband of 19 years is suffering from some form of mental illness. I need to know where to go for help — not for “Steve,” because he doesn’t think he has a problem — but for our teenage children and me.

It breaks my heart that our kids despise their father. I’m not sure they will ever forgive him for the damaging things he has said and done since they were little. The worst was the time Steve threatened to kill himself. When I picked up the phone to dial 911, he told me he’d take all of us with him if I didn’t hang up. They will never forget that night, yet he says stuff like this is part of life and to “get over it.”

I have explained to the children that their father is sick and can’t help the way he treats us. But I am beginning to feel tremendously guilty for standing by and letting it happen, watching Steve’s behavior get worse and worse over the years.

Steve says everything he has ever done and all the sacrifices he’s made have been for his family, but we’d gladly give up the cell phones, the weekend trips, the sports camps and music lessons if he would just be nice to us on a daily basis.

EASTERN CONFERENCE

The Associated Press

Nuggets 121, Pacers 107 DENVER — Carmelo Anthony gave the home crowd nothing to boo about Sunday night, scoring 36 points in the Nuggets’ victory over the Pacers, who lost their f ifth straight.

Anthony had been subjected to jeers by the home crowd as trade talk intensified last week, but on this night, the Denver fans showed him plenty of love, especially when he was raining threes from all over the court as he

put on a spectacular 23-point show in the third quarter.

Anthony’s career-best six three-pointers all came in the third period as the Nuggets turned a close game into a laugher — a reversal of their game in November when the Pacers made their first 20 shots of the third quarter and rolled to a 144-113 win in Indianapolis.

Anthony’s previous high was five three-pointers back in 2003, his rookie season.

Nene added 15 points and 10 rebounds for the Nuggets, who led by 25 and improved to 20-5 at the Pepsi Center.
