Coalition pushing for change in liquor laws TOPEKA (AP) — A new coalition that includes chains such as Walmart, Hy-Vee and QuikTrip is pushing to change Kansas laws regulating where beer and hard liquor are sold in the state, but opponents are already gearing up to fight the effort.

Supporters of the proposed changes, called Coalition for

LEGISLATURE

Jobs and Consumer Choice, contended that a bill in the Kansas Senate that would allow grocery and convenience stores to sell full-strength alcoholic beverages would generate more than 12,000 new jobs, as well as $216 million in wages and $72 million in new taxes per year.

But an association of liquor

stores immediately challenged those claims, saying the numbers are exaggerated and the bill’s main goal is to move lucrative liquor sales from small businesses to the large chains.

Currently, grocery stores, convenience stores and gas stations in Kansas are allowed to sell only wine coolers and cere-

al-malt beverages, sometimes called “weak” or “3.2” beer and wine coolers. The bill introduced this week would allow those stores to sell liquor and full-strength beer and wine. It also would allow liquor stores, which are limited to selling only alcoholic beverages, to begin selling other products such as

Re-evaluating fluoride Federal agency has proposed lowering the amount in water to reduce the possibility of young children getting too much

——————

Dental hygienist Holly Blick applied fluoride varnish to eight children’s teeth during a free treatment clinic this week at the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department.

The varnish, a sticky coating of fluoride, helps prevent decay.

“It offers a more concentrated delivery of fluoride to the tooth’s surface,” said Dr. Cheryl Biesterfeld, a Lawrence dentist with Douglas County Dental Clinic, which co-sponsored the clinic.

Biesterfeld said tooth decay is “incredibly common” among her patients because many of their diets are high in sugar and acid.

The fluoride treatment clinic follows a proposal earlier this month by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to lower the level of fluoride in drinking water. Its proposed recommendation to the Environmental Protection Agency is 0.7 milligrams of fluoride per liter of water: a level the city of Lawrence has maintained for decades. The current recommendation is 0.7 to 1.2 milligrams per liter.

THE LAWRENCE-DOUGLAS COUNTY Health Department sponsored a free fluoride treatment for children on Tuesday. A strawberry flavored varnish like this is applied for a concentrated delivery of fluoride.

The proposal is meant to reduce the possibility of children, ages 8 and younger, receiving too much fluoride during tooth development, a condition known as fluorosis.

According to HHS, most dental fluorosis is mild and is barely visible white spots or streaks. Severe forms — staining or pitting of the tooth surface — are rare.

A recent survey by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found a 9 percent increase in the past 20 years in incidents of dental fluorosis in children.

KDHE STUDY ON FLUORIDE The Kansas Department of Environment and Health has a screening program that includes oral health. Last school year, it looked at children in Sedgwick County, which mostly has unfluoridated water, and Douglas County, which has mostly fluoridated water.

It surveyed 1,200 children in Douglas County and 20,842 in Sedgwick. The results: ● Children who already had restorative treatment due to decay — Douglas, 33 percent; Sedgwick, 43 percent. ● Children with untreated decay — Douglas, 18.8 percent; Sedgwick, 18.5. ● Children with urgent care needs — Douglas, 1.8 percent; Sedgwick, 3.4 percent.

Fluoride regulations A total of 63, or 7 percent, of 895 water systems in Kansas are fluoridating the water, according to the state’s health and environment department.

Katie Ingels, department spokeswoman, said the agency encourages the new HHS recommendation. It does quarterly checks on the fluoridating systems.

She said the EPA requires a water system Please see NEW, page 4A

When Kansas University basketball player Thomas Robinson faced a tragic situation, he was able to lean on teammates and KU’s athletics department for support, both emotionally and financially.

Robinson’s story has been well-told in various media outlets over the past few days. He lost his grandfather, his grandmother and his mother in the span of two weeks. His 9-year-old sister had to make the call Friday night to inform Robinson of his mother’s death.

Kansas Athletics Inc. received permission from the NCAA not just to fly the team to Washington, D.C., for Robinson’s mother’s funeral, which is today, but Robinson also to pay all the expenses for the funeral itself.

Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said the NCAA makes certain allowances for athletes dealing with a loss in the family. In the past, Kansas Athletics has paid for athletes’ flights home for funerals of family members.

The funds will come out of Kansas Athletics’ general revenue, which comes from donors, television contract revenue and conference payouts, among other sources.

He said he couldn’t recall if the athletics department had paid for funeral expenses or flown an entire team to a funeral for another athlete’s family member before.

“Every circumstance is different,” he said. “In this case, this is the right thing to do. We realize that, and, fortunately, the NCAA does, too.”

Dealing with a death in the family is nothing unusual for many other KU students, too.

“It happens far more often than you or I would like,” said Jane Tuttle, assistant vice provost for student success.

For those students, the office of the vice provost for student success can offer some services.

While KU doesn’t pay funeral expenses for students, Tuttle said her office can help with notifying professors of the student’s absence, getting connected with grief counseling KANSAS UNIVERSITY services at KU and seeing if students qualify for additional financial aid that will help them stay in school.

Some students, she said, still find that they will have to leave the university for a variety of reasons; some are overcome with grief, and others can’t afford to stay in school anymore.

For those students, she said, the office helps them with the withdrawal process, and makes sure they position themselves so that reenrolling is as easy as possible, should they be able to return.

“We can’t promise the world,” Tuttle said, but the office does try to help each student find the best course of action for the long term.

Rezoning near Vinland airport requested

Federal deficit to hit record $1.5T

By Chad Lawhorn

Far from slowing, the government’s deficit spending will surge to a record $1.5 trillion flood of red ink this year, congressional budget experts estimated Wednesday, blaming the slow economic recovery and last month’s tax-cut law.

The report was sobering new evidence that it will take more than President Barack Obama’s proposed freeze on some agencies to stem the nation’s extraordinary budget woes. Republicans say they want big budget cuts but so far are light on specifics.

Wednesday’s Congressional Budget Office estimates indicate the government will have to borrow 40 cents for every dollar it spends this fiscal year, which ends Sept. 30. Tax revenues are projected to drop to their lowest levels since 1950, when measured against the size of the economy.

clawhorn@ljworld.com

There has been a lot of talk recently about landing aviationrelated industrial projects at Lawrence Municipal Airport, but the tiny Vinland airport between Baldwin City and Lawrence actually has one in the works.

The city-county planning office has received a request to rezone 41 acres at the Vinland airport to allow for a 20,000square-foot warehouse and pro-

duction plant for McFarlane Aviation Products. The company has been based at the grass landing strip airport — at 694 E 1700 Road — since 1979. Business has been good for the company, which makes several types of airframe parts.

“We are focused on making parts that make airplanes last longer,” said Dave McFarlane, president of the company.

The company began its current manufacturing operations in 1988 with three employees.

Now it has 38 full-time employees, and McFarlane said he’s been adding anywhere from two to five employees a year for the last several years.

He said the new production and warehouse space will allow the company to continue on that growth path. McFarlane said the company briefly considered moving to a different location, but said the quaint airport off County Route 1055 between Lawrence and Baldwin City was a good match for the company.

“It really fits our business culture well,” McFarlane said. “We have this little antique airport and there is the pioneering spirit of the Vinland area. It just seems to work.”

The project will have to win zoning approval from the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission and the Douglas County Commission.

Sledding down a slippery slope

1 | WASHINGTON, D.C.

Social Security to be empty by 2037 Sick and getting sicker, Social Security will run at a deficit this year and keep on running in the red until its trust funds are drained by about 2037, congressional budget experts said Wednesday in bleakerthan-previous estimates.

The massive retirement program has been suffering from the effects of the struggling economy for several years. It first went into deficit last year but had been projected to post surpluses for a few more years before permanently slipping into the red in 2016.

This year alone, Social Security will pay out $45 billion more in retirement, disability and survivors’ benefits than it collects in payroll taxes, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said. That figure nearly triples — to $130 billion — when the new one-year cut in payroll taxes is included.

Color-coded terror warnings going away By the end of April, terror threats to the U.S. will no longer be described in shades of green, blue, yellow, orange and red, The Associated Press has learned.

The nation’s color-coded terror warning system will be phased out beginning this week, according to government officials familiar with the plan. The officials requested anonymity to speak ahead of an announcement scheduled today by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.

The Homeland Security Department and other government agencies have been reviewing the Homeland Security Advisory System’s usefulness for more than a year. One of the most notable changes to come: The public will no longer hear automated recordings at U.S. airports stating that the threat level is orange.

The Obama administration will take the next three months to roll out a replacement, which will be called the National Terrorism Advisory System. The new plan calls for notifying specific audiences about specific threats.

EPA ‘tailoring rule’ criticized

TOPEKA — A state environmental regulator on Wednesday criticized the federal EPA over the implementation of a new greenhouse gas rule.

Tom Gross, with the Bureau of Air for the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, said it was difficult to get information from EPA, and the federal agency changed major deadlines several times over the so-called “tailoring rule.”

“The whole process was incredibly frustrating,” Gross told the House Energy and Utilities Committee. “We told them a few words we can’t repeat,” he said.

Under the new greenhouse gas rule, new or expanding facilities must demonstrate the use of best available control technologies and energy efficiencies to minimize greenhouse gas increases.

Gross said he admired a letter that Please see KDHE, page 5A

History buff wants to recreate cannon used in sacking city

By Brianne Pfannenstiel bpfannenstiel@ljworld.com

The cannon that fired on the Free State Hotel during the sacking of Lawrence has lived a long, full life during the Civil War era in Kansas and Missouri. Now, however, it sits destroyed — a giant hole ripped through its side — in the Watkins Community Museum of History, 1047 Mass.

But that cannon, called “Old Sacramento,” could have a new lease on life soon.

Kerry Altenbernd, Lawrence native and Kansas history buff, has plans to reconstruct an exact replica of the cannon that could be fired to celebrate events, such as upcoming Kansas Day, parades and historical re-enactments.

The original cannon has a long tradition with Kansas Day: It was fired in celebration the day Kansas officially became a state Jan. 29, 1861.

It was originally used in the War with Mexico by Missourians before Please see CANNON, page 5A

Otherwise, she doesn’t recommend anything beyond what’s already in drinking water, toothpaste, soft drinks, juices, and other products — well, maybe a rinse after brushing.

comes in. Not only does it cause harm such as what I describe in my own case, but other problems,” he said.

Burgstahler said research has linked fluoride to Down syndrome, neurological problems and arthritis, among other things.

According to KDHE and CDC, peer-reviewed evidence does not support an association between water fluoridation and any adverse health effect or systemic disorder.

But, the EPA released two new reviews of research. One of the studies found that prolonged, high intake of fluoride can increase the risk of brittle bones, fractures and crippling bone abnormalities.

In spring and summer, it’s easy to envision ways to enhance your home’s curb appeal with a trimmed lawn, planted and potted flowers, and patios and decks arranged with outdoor furniture and an inviting grill. But when the leaves fall and the temperatures drop, even homes in temperate climates undergo a winter transformation that can challenge a seller to create exterior appeal.

When it comes to landscaping and colorful plants, there are plenty of ornamental grasses and plants that look great in wintertime. Purple cabbages, fountain grasses, and potted evergreens along pathways and by the door all add seasonal color and appeal. And obviously, your

sidewalk, entry path, patio and deck should be clear of leaves and/or snow.

Be sure to keep in mind that shorter days mean that buyers are that much more likely to see your home after sunset, so make sure all your floodlights are clean and in working order, highlighting your home’s exterior features. Lamps with soft lighting in all your windows will also offer a warm invitation.

Finally, just to cover your bases, have photos available of your home in all its glory during the spring and summer months. This gives buyers a better sense of your home’s appeal during all the seasons of the year.Your agent will have more tips for attracting buyers in any kind of weather.

KDHE criticizes greenhouse gas rule CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

the attorney general of Texas wrote to EPA in which Texas vowed to fight the agency over the greenhouse gas rules. Gross said he didn’t think it was going to do Texas any good to battle the EPA in court.

“We do that in our own way pretty much every single day,” he said, referring to enforcement actions and permit timelines.

In December, KDHE issued a permit for a controversial 895-megawatt coalfired plant in southwestern Kansas. EPA has said it will review whether the proposal complies with the law, and

environmentalists have filed a lawsuit challenging the permit, alleging it fails to control hazardous pollutants, and the permitting process was improperly influenced by supporters of the project.

KDHE has said the permit meets all state and federal requirements.

Rep. Joe Seiwert, R-Pretty Prairie, a member of the House energy committee, said it seemed that while EPA wants to reduce coal-burning electric power facilities, it has no plan on replacing that capacity or knowledge about how expensive electricity will get.

Other committee members also expressed frustra-

tion with the EPA. “I’ve heard this referred to federal blackmail,” said committee vice chair Forrest Knox, R-Altoona. “Is that what it is, or federal extortion?”

Gross said of EPA: “It would sure seem like they have a serious agenda against coal-fired power plants.”

A spokesman for the EPA Region 7 office in Kansas City, Kan., released a statement that said the off ice worked closely with KDHE “to establish the framework for the Clean Air Act permitting programs to limit greenhouse gas emissions.

“EPA will continue to provide guidance and act as a

resource for the states as we work together to make the various required permitting decisions for greenhouse gas emissions.”

Regents call 7.5% cut ‘unfair’

posed 7.5 percent pay cut to state employees.

The pay cut recommendation was approved by the House Appropriations Committee.

“We’re concerned by the committee’s action, which is simply unfair and unnecessary,” said Kansas Board of Regents Chairman Gary Sherrer of Overland Park.

Republicans on the committee backed the plan, which would cut state employee pay by 7.5 percent for the last six pay periods of the current fiscal year.

For universities, the reduced pay would be used to pay for repair and maintenance proj-

— Kansas Board of Regents Chairman Gary Sherrer ects of campus buildings.

“Removing dollars from the paychecks (that) hardworking university employees depend upon, and then spending those dollars on building maintenance doesn’t result in any savings to the state,” Sherrer said.

State Rep. Pete DeGraaf, RMulvane, who authored the amendment to cut pay, said the higher education pay cuts were put back into maintenance as a way to maintain the level of state funding for higher education that is required to keep federal stimulus funds.

The House Appropriations’ plan next goes to the full House for consideration.

That will probably happen next week.

The Senate is also working on a budget plan.

DeGraaf has said the proposed pay cut is needed to help balance the current budget and make it easier to balance the next fiscal year’s budget, which has an estimated $550 million revenue shortfall.

Cannon at museum Wednesday’s beyond restoration markets CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

being placed in the public square in Liberty, Mo. In 1856, Old Sacramento was brought to Lawrence by pro-slavery men who used it to fire on the Free State Hotel, which would later be called the Eldridge House.

Several accounts state that Missouri Sen. David Atchison fired the first of about 30 shots. But being somewhat drunk, Atchison fired the shot up and over the hotel. In the late 1880s, a cannonball was found imbedded in the soil of Illinois Street that is said to be from Old Sacramento.

In 1975 Steve Jansen, thendirector of the Watkins History Museum, made a deal to obtain Old Sacramento for display, said Brittany Keegan, acting curator.

“We’re not exactly sure how it wound up in the museum, but we’re just glad it’s here,” she said.

Old Sacramento was cast in bronze, and Altenbernd said recreating it out of that same material could carry a hefty price tag upwards of $20,000.

He has organized a group called The Old Sacramento

Cannoneers Association that plans to seek out other interested individuals and funding for the project.

He said he has already begun researching foundries across the country that could recreate a working replica of the cannon.

“My basic idea was why not make a new one because the old one can’t be used,” Altenbernd said. “It would be very significant. My only regret is that we didn’t do this a couple years ago so we could use it this weekend and fire it on Saturday. But better late than never.”

Legislator files bill to prevent 'honor killings'

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — A legislator has filed a bill that would prohibit courts from basing a decision on any legal system that doesn’t grant people the same rights as the United States and Kansas constitutions.

Rep. Peggy Mast, R-Emporia, said Wednesday the proposal was prompted by concerns over reports where women and children in some immigrant communities in

the United States have been Mast said she wants to assaulted or killed because ensure that when courts they want to engage decide these cases in more Western they recognize only behavior, such as state and federal laws dating someone not and not a traditional of their religion or belief or law from ancestry. She pointanother country or ed to so-called society. “honor killings” House Bill 2087 where assailants say already has 45 sponsors. they murdered But Kari Ann women because the LEGISLATURE Rinker, coordinator of women allegedly the Kansas chapter of brought dishonor to their families by violating a the National Organization for Women, said Mast was trying tradition or rule.

to pass legislation for a problem that hasn’t come up in Kansas. Mast, however, said it was better to be pro-active.

Rinker also said the bill seemed similar to a constitutional amendment approved in Oklahoma that would prohibit state courts from considering international or Islamic law when deciding cases. That amendment has been blocked by a federal judge.

BRIEFLY Humane Society sees parvovirus outbreak Lawrence Humane Society has had an outbreak of parvovirus in two puppies this week.

Parvovirus, which is rare in the winter, is very contagious and can be fatal. It can cause vomiting followed by lethargy, weakness and diarrhea.

One of the infected dogs had to be euthanized; the other is at a local veterinarian’s office.

Midge Grinstead, executive director of the society, said the dog portion of the shelter is under quarantine and staff

members are taking extra precautions to prevent a spread of the virus. No dogs are being taken out, and a moratorium has been placed on adoptions of puppies younger than 6 months. Adoptions of puppies older than 6 months must first be cleared by a veterinarian.

“In this case, these puppies were all vaccinated with two vaccines,” Grinstead said. “It’s frustrating because you think you’re doing everything perfect and things still happen.”

Grinstead said that the situation is under control, but if the virus were to spread, they would consider shutting down the shelter.

“We’re being as cautious as we possibly can,” she said.

Woman found in car died from hypothermia A coroner’s spokeswoman said a preliminary report indicated a 58-year-old Lawrence woman who was found dead in a vehicle Saturday died from hypothermia.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, when a person’s body temperature drops below 95 degrees it is considered a medical emergency. The Lawrence Municipal Airport

recorded a low temperature of 4 degrees overnight Friday and into Saturday morning, according to the National Weather Service in Topeka.

Lawrence police have said no foul play was suspected, but an autopsy was being performed in the case.

The woman’s body was found Saturday morning in a vehicle in the alley behind a residence the 800 block of Tennessee Street, but police have said the woman did not live at the home and did not own or have any other connection with the vehicle.

Police did not release the woman’s name.

Kansas University, said a study he conducted for the coalition found that about 341 liquor stores would go out of business, and 1,154 jobs would be lost if other retailers could sell fullstrength alcoholic beverages.

But he said those losses would be more than offset because the state would likely add 116 grocery stores, with 3,987 jobs. And another 449 new convenience stores would employee 9,349 people.

Spencer Duncan, repre-

senting the liquor-store alliance called Keep Kansans in Business, predicted that the bill would be rejected by the Legislature, which has turned back similar attempts on the past.

“Those who want to change Kansas liquor laws are primarily out-of-state entities focused on profit, not the Kansas economy or the safety of its citizens and its communities,” said Duncan, who contended that pawn shops, adult gift stores and smoke shops would be able to sell wine, beer and spirits under the bill.

“This is not a tweak in the

system,” Duncan said. “This conduct hearings on the bill is a reckless and seismic Monday and Tuesday at the shift in how Kansas views Capitol. and handles retail alcohol sales.”

The bill would freeze the number of liquor licenses allowed in the state for three years to allow liquor stores to adjust to the new compesells and repairs tition. Grocery or convenience store operators who heating and air want to get in the business conditioning motors? during those three years would most likely have to Celebrating over 60 years buy a license from a current www.patchenelectric.com store operator in the same county.

Manhattan leading energy competition CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

On Saturday, the competition officially kicks off in Lawrence with a watch party (Kansas University men’s basketball team just so happens to be playing Kansas State that night).

The event is from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Liberty Hall, 644 Mass.

Along with kid-friendly activities, there will be giveaways of pizza, compact fluorescent light bulbs, draft stoppers and lots of information on how you can take part in the Take Charge Challenge.

Here’s how you can get involved.

Attend community events This is perhaps the easiest and cheapest step you can take to participate. For every person attending a Take Charge Challenge event, Lawrence gets points. Saturday’s kick-off party is the first of many Take Charge Challenge events in Lawrence.

Switch to compact fluorescent bulbs Another simple and inexpensive way to participate in the Take Charge Challenge is by switching incandescent light bulbs for compact fluorescent ones. By changing the five most-used light bulbs in your home, residents can save $75 a year in electricity costs. Compact fluorescent light bulbs use up to 75 percent less energy than standard incandescent ones and last up to 10 times longer, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.

To report how many light bulbs you switched over, go online to TakeChargeKansas .org. While you are there, check out the running tally between Manhattan and Lawrence and the scrolling names of Lawrence residents who have already made the switch.

Enroll in an energy efficiency program through Westar Westar Energy, the electric company for Lawrence residents, has a number of energy efficiency programs geared toward customers.

Among them is its WattSaver program where customers can sign up to have a free, programmable thermostat installed in their home (it comes with a $300 value). With the new technology, residents can control their thermostats from any computer connected to the Internet.

In return, Westar can cycle on and off air conditioners and heat pumps during the hottest days of the year to lessen the energy loads during the periods of highest demand.

Westar also offers information on installing heat pumps and classes and training on energy efficiency for elementary school students, real estate agents and builders. For more information, go to westarenergy.com.

Get an Efficiency Kansas home energy audit Those wanting to invest a little more time and money in the competition might consider getting a home energy audit through Eff iciency Kansas. For a limited time, the Kansas Energy Office is offering $100 home energy audits that come with a $600 value.

Through the program, an auditor will investigate a home, inside and out, ceiling to floor, to find out where air is leaking. From there, home energy auditors will make a list of improvements to improve energy efficiency.

The Efficiency Kansas program, which is funded through Recovery Act money, can connect homeowners with lenders who will provide low interest loans to cover the cost of those efficiency upgrades.

Those interested in a home energy audit can go to efficiencykansas.com to sign up for the program and find a local auditor (Lawrence has five).

Uninspiring President Obama’s State of the Union address offered nothing new and disappointed those looking for leadership.

P

resident Barack Obama opened his campaign for the 2012 presidential election with his State of the Union address on Tuesday.

There was considerable media buildup for the event, which came only weeks after the tragic and deadly shootings in Tucson, Ariz., where six people were killed, including a federal judge, and several more seriously injured, including a congresswoman. There was much talk about trying to forge a more friendly and respectful feeling within Congress, using the shootings and the rancor built up during the November midterm elections as a reason and hope as to why the president’s address would have even more importance this year.

Many strong Obama fans were hopeful the president would deliver an inspirational message, one which might measure up to oftencited addresses to Congress by former presidents Kennedy, Clinton and Reagan. In fact, the entire country could have used an uplifting, positive message with the tense international situations, the record national debt, high unemployment and most Americans facing challenges trying to maintain their household budgets.

Obama and his speech writers were said to have worked several months on this very important presentation.

However, for one reason or another, the talk didn’t deliver the lift, impact or inspiration sought by so many, both Democrats and Republicans.

One of the reasons is that most of what Obama talked about has been said before.

Even with the emphasis in the 2008 campaign about change, transparency, openness and bipartisanship, national unemployment numbers have grow to more than 9 percent, record national debt continues to grow, and, until the smashing GOP wins in the midterm elections, Obama had not displayed any desire to work in a bipartisan manner.

Critics of the talk described it as being “flat” and uninspiring with a lack of sincerity. These critics asked, “Why should we believe anything is different today when he didn’t follow through on what he said two years ago? It’s the same thing over and over, and in many ways we are worse off today than we were two years ago.”

And, these critics add, instead of talking about reducing our debt, he calls for unspecified increases in spending, which he now identifies as “investments.”

Republicans and Democrats acknowledge Obama needs to appear to voters that he is moving toward the political middle ground, distancing himself from his traditionally strong far left beliefs if he is to strengthen his bid for a second term as president.

Tuesday’s address was supposed to offer evidence of this shift, but there was little indication of his sincerity to oversee a more moderate agenda.

Obama is an eloquent speaker, but, unfortunately, he failed to deliver a sincere, passionate, uplifting and challenging message for both Democrats and Republicans. The country is badly in need of sound, inspiring leadership in Congress and in the White House.

How about the single goal post theory?

“Since 1995 the average mathematics score for fourth-graders jumped 11 points. At this rate we catch up with Singapore in a little over 80 years ... assuming they don’t improve.”

— Norman R. Augustine, Retired CEO of Lockheed Martin

WASHINGTON — What America needs, says one American parent, is more parents who resemble South Korean parents. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, 46, a father of a third-grader and a first-grader, recalls the answer Barack Obama got when he asked South Korean President Lee Myung-bak, “What is the biggest education challenge you have?”

Lee answered: “Parents are too demanding.” They want their children to start learning English in first rather than second grade.

Only 25 percent of U.S. elementary schools offer any foreignlanguage instruction.

Too many American parents, Duncan says, have “cognitive dissonance” concerning primary and secondary schools: They think their children’s schools are fine, and that schools that are not fine are irredeemable. This, Duncan says, is a recipe for “stasis” and “insidious paralysis.” He attempts to impart motion by puncturing complacency and picturing the payoff from excellence.

He notes that 75 percent of young Americans would be unable to enlist in the military for reasons physical (usually obesity), moral (criminal records) or academic (no high school diploma). A quarter of all ninth-

graders will not graduate in four years. Among the 34 Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development nations, only four (Mexico, Spain, Turkey, New Zealand) have dropout rates higher than America’s, whose 15year-olds ranked 23rd in math and 25th in science in 2006.

Canadians that age were more than a school year ahead of their American counterparts; Koreans and Finns were up to two years ahead. Within America, the achievement gaps separating white students from blacks and Hispanics portend (according to a McKinsey & Co. study) “the economic equivalent of a permanent national recession.”

Another study suggests that a modest improvement (from a current average of around 500 to

525) over 20 years in an international student assessment of 15year-olds in the OECD nations — improvement in reading, math and science literacy — would mean a $115 trillion increase in these nations’ aggregate GDP. Of that, $41 trillion would accrue to America. McKinsey calculated that if American students matched those in Finland, America’s economy would have been 9 percent to 16 percent larger in 2008 — between $1.3 trillion and $2.3 trillion.

For now? “We go where the smart people are,” says Howard High of Intel Corp. “Now our business operations are twothirds in the United States and one-third overseas. But that ratio will flip over (in) the next 10 years.” Annual federal funding of research in mathematics, engineering and the physical sciences is equal to the increase in America’s health care costs every nine weeks. A National Academy of Sciences (NAS) report says that in 2000, more foreign students than American students were studying engineering and the physical sciences in U.S. graduate schools.

Familiar recipes for improvement are dubious. “Many highperforming education systems, especially in Asia,” Duncan says, “have substantially larger classes than the United States.” In South Korea, secondary-school classes average about 36 students, in Japan 33, in America 25.

Duncan knows that Americans are uneasy about any national education standards that might emanate from a Washington they distrust, but he insists that it is

irrational to have 50 different goal posts. Perhaps, but 50 different approaches might yield a few that are truly superior. Unfortunately, the response to that is this: Allowing states to define academic proficiencies, while federal policy gives financial rewards for achieving those proficiencies, produces perverse incentives. The NAS report says that in New York, the percentage of eighth-graders reaching the state’s prof iciency standard increased dramatically, from 59 percent to 80 percent, between 2007 and 2009. Yet the eighthgraders’ scores on a national math test “remained virtually unchanged.”

Conclusion? The state defined proficiency down. Solution?

Penalize that. Regarding grades K through 12, federal education policy — if such there must be — should permit, indeed encourage, 50 laboratories of educational experimentation. Federal policy should be confined to providing financial rewards contingent on improvements confirmed by national metrics — Duncan’s single goal post.

The Education Department sits at the foot of Capitol Hill, where many new legislators consider “federal education policy” a constitutional oxymoron. They have a point. They might, however, decide that the changes Duncan proposes — on balance, greater state flexibility in meeting national goals — make him the Obama administration’s redeeming feature.

A flu bug was affecting 630 of Lawrence’s 7,500 schoolchildren, YEARS with some schools AGO reporting as many IN 1986 as 160 students absent. Central and South junior highs and Kennedy School were the hardest hit with the virus, which caused high fevers, headaches, sore throats and muscle aches.

The author of a regular syndicated column on personal computers sang the praises of the Compaq Deskpro 286. The basic version came with an Intel 80286 microprocessor, performing at a “fantastic” 8 MHz, and also included a 30-megabyte hard drive, a 1.2K disk drive, a monochrome monitor, 512K of RAM, and MS-DOS 3.0. It retailed for $2,899. Buyers were able to add up to four drives, including a tape backup drive. A color monitor upgrade was also available.

PUBLIC FORUM

Wrong analysis

The real fraud

To the editor: Leave it to the Journal-World to try and blame the state’s budget problems on Obama (“State options few,” Jan. 25).

For the record, the federal aid to the states contained in the stimulus package was given to try and avoid massive layoffs of teachers and police, which increases recessionary pressures, not to hire new ones. I don’t remember a large increase in state funding to the Lawrence school system to hire more teachers.

The real reason for the budget crunch is simple. During good economic times the Republicans love to lower tax rates (very popular) rather than build reserves in preparation for hard times ahead.

This is like an individual choosing not to have an emergency fund.

During hard times no one wants to raise taxes, and rightfully so, so important services must be gutted.

This formula guarantees that each economic downturn will result in a stepwise degradation of our educational systems, our infrastructure and all our essential state services, a permanent solution to the “evils” of government and a surefire path to second-class status for all of our state’s citizens.

If we keep at it we can start to look like Mississippi, where the real conservatives live. I’m sure the Journal-World will applaud that result.

Steven Bruner, Lawrence

To the editor: Our new secretary of state, Kris Kobach, has, true to his campaign promise, introduced legislation to require Kansas voters to provide picture identification in order to vote.

This emperor has no clothes.

How many cases of voter fraud have been prosecuted in Kansas’ history? One? Five? A dozen?

Aside from the obvious problem that he is not mandated to waste our state’s resources to produce solutions to problems that don’t exist, the transparent attempt at voter suppression makes me gag.

Kobach says he wants our voting procedures to emulate Arizona’s immigration policies. This Kansan doesn’t want anything to do with any of the misguided, draconian, offensive policies of Arizona. This Kansan wants our emperor to get off his political high horse and do the job he was elected to do. Oh, and while you’re at it, how about putting fulltime energy for full-time pay and how about doing the state’s business instead of traveling the country pushing your anti-immigration agenda?

Charles Gruber, Lawrence

Name game To the editor: I have read about the committee that has been formed to make recommendations regarding the

renaming of the junior high schools due to the conversion to the middle school format.

It is hard for me to believe that time will be spent by school board members to discuss renaming schools instead of focusing, for instance, on what goes on in the classroom and how we can continue to improve test scores, retain and attract qualified teachers and administrators in the district, and class sizes.

Given the current financial situation that all school districts are in I feel that the amount of money spent to put up signs for the new names is not an effective use of resources. There will be enough money spent to change the “Junior High” at the end of each name to “Middle School,” but that will be less than changing the complete name. I’m sure there will be significant dollars spent on stationery, advertising, band and other school uniforms, etc., on top of the signs, too.

Finally, the confusion in changing the names will be unavoidable.

If we change one of the names to Eisenhower Middle School, which one is that? The clarification that is likely to follow will be “you know, West Junior High.” I think the confusion will be even greater for people living outside of Lawrence, too.

Bottom line, spend the money it takes to change the signage to the middle schools and focus on what is important to the students’ education!

After nearly a year’s delay, the city’s new sanitary landfill site on the YEARS North Lawrence AGO Flood Control levee IN 1971 received an operating permit. The permit, issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, was valid for a oneyear period. After the start of operations at the new site, the old landfill on Drag Strip Road was scheduled to be closed up and fenced off.

From the Lawrence Daily World for Jan. 27, 1911: YEARS “TOPEKA — A AGO bill was introduced IN 1911 in the house today to prohibit labor of all kinds by children under 16 years of age excepting singing in churches, schools, or theatres, providing the mayor’s consent is obtained. The bill included a provision to prohibit moving pictures of immoral nature. … According to an address delivered before the Engineering Society at Topeka, Lawrence is the best paved city for its size in Kansas. It has twice the pavement of any other town of corresponding population.”

LAWRENCE HIGH’S LEVI FLOHRSCHUTZ, TOP, WORKS FOR A PIN on Free State’s Mitch McCune in the 145-pound weight class. Flohrschutz and the Lions defeated the Firebirds in a dual, 59-11, on Wednesday at FSHS.

Lawrence High powers past Free State, 59-11

By Ben Ward Journal-World Sports Writer

Lawrence High senior Cameron Magdaleno and Free State High sophomore Spencer Wilson saw plenty of each other in the LHS wrestling room last year.

While Wilson was still at LHS wrestling junior varsity, the two sparred together often, and each knows the other’s technique and style on the mat quite well.

In what ended up being the match of the night in Wednesday’s dual between the Lions and Firebirds, Magdaleno and Wilson found themselves staring one another down.

“I was almost feeling sick in the beginning,” Magdaleno said. “Just because he’s ranked number two in our weight class.”

Six minutes later and with a raucous crowd behind him, Magdaleno felt a bit better, as he knocked off Wilson — the No. 2 160 pounder in 6A — as part of the Lions’ 59-11 victory over the Firebirds at FSHS. “He knew what was coming,” FSHS coach Mike Gillman said of Magdaleno, who beat Wilson in a 7-3 decision. “He was smart.”

Magdaleno worked his game plan well, and though he never dominated, he got ahead and con-

trolled Wilson throughout the third period after scoring a takedown. “(Wilson) is pretty savvy on his feet,” LHS assistant coach Randy Streeter said. “We told Cameron, if you can stay out of the tie, you can beat him.”

Magdaleno even bloodied Wilson’s nose. The FSHS sophomore actually showed it off with a sense of pride after the match, calling it “his first ever.”

Overall, the No. 6 Lions proved too much for the Firebirds.

Freshman Garrett Girard started the night off by topping Drew Botello, 1-0, at 103 pounds.

Girard, the fifth-ranked 103

pounder and one of five Lions ranked in the top six in 6A, and Botello scrapped their way to a near standstill, but a secondround escape earned Girard the victory.

At 125 pounds, LHS sophomore Hunter Haralson, the top ranked 119 pounder, impressively dropped Maurice Jacobs and pinned him in just over 20 seconds.

FSHS took wins by decisions at 130 and 135 by Andrew McLees and Ben Soukup, respectively, but didn’t score again until a forfeit at 285 pounds.

MISSOURI 66, KANSAS WOMEN 52

Poor second half, turnovers doom Jayhawks J-W Staff Reports

Davis

“

Everyone needs to refocus. We can’t get down.”

— KU sophomore Carolyn Davis

COLUMBIA , M O. — A 15-0 Missouri run in the second half doomed Kansas University’s women’s basketball team in a 6652 setback to the Tigers on Wednesday in Mizzou Arena.

Kansas was ahead by as many as eight points in the first half, but fell behind in the second 20 minutes.

The Jayhawks committed 21 turnovers.

“You have to take care of the ball and value possessions, whether you’re on the road or at home,” Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said after the game on the Jayhawk Radio Network’s postgame show. “You

can’t turn it over in this league like that.”

Angel Goodrich made a career-high three three-pointers, and Carolyn Davis scored 17 points to lead Kansas, which fell to 14-6 and 1-5 in the Big 12. Missouri improved to 10-10 and 2-5.

“It was downhill and it was sad to see us go down like that,” Davis said. “We fought so hard.

We just need to get our team chemistry back together.”

Goodrich, a sophomore point guard, finished with 10 points and four rebounds, going 3-for-8 from the arc to set new career bests in both three-pointers made and attempted. She also dished out a season-high six assists.

Keena Mays chipped in with eight points and five rebounds for KU. Monica Engelman led the Jayhawks on the glass with seven rebounds and also totaled five assists and two steals to go along with five points.

Missouri’s RaeShara Brown finished with a game-high 22 points, to go along with five rebounds and six assists. BreAnna Brock added in 12 and led the Tigers with eight boards.

The Jayhawks led by a point with 7:33 remaining, but Missouri took control with 15 unanswered points, ultimately taking the game.

“Everyone needs to re-focus,” Davis said. “We can’t get down.

We can still make the (NCAA)

Tournament. We can still get a lot more wins.”

Kansas shot only 7-for-16 from the foul line.

“To me, it’s about focus and concentration,” Henrickson said of free throws. “It’s about reminding yourself how to shoot it to make it. Free throws are mental and mechanical, but they’re more mental than anything ... You have to find some offense when you get to the line.”

Kansas will travel to Kansas State for a 2 p.m. game Saturday.

“We gotta get that one,” Davis said. “We lost this rivalry game, but we’re going to get the next one.” ● Box score on page 5B

FORMER KANSAS UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL SAFETY DARRELL STUCKEY SHARES A LAUGH with students on Wednesday at Oskaloosa Elementary. Stuckey is currently playing in the NFL with the San Diego Chargers.

Decked out in designer jeans and a light green shirt, former Kansas University football standout Darrell Stuckey stood in front of more than 300 Oskaloosa Elementary students Wednesday afternoon and talked about the importance of being good citizens and good students.

Stuckey’s specific message focused on the evils of bullying and included a story from his childhood.

“This is something that I haven’t told many people,” Stuckey told the adoring elementary schoolers. “I was bullied when I was a little kid.”

But as Stuckey recounted the Kansas fooball story of being pestered by an coach Turner angry eighth-grader whom he Gill landed had beaten out for a spot on the more speed to track team, the students listened his recruiting intently and seemed to soak up class on his message.

RECRUITING NEWS

The NCAA, which has been working with Kansas University athletic department officials since the death of Thomas Robinson’s mother, Lisa, late last week, issued a statement on Wednesday.

In its entirety it read: “The NCAA offers its deepest sympathies to Thomas Robinson following the tragic events of late in his family. To help support him and his younger sister (Jayla) during this difficult time, the NCAA and University of Kansas have been working closely together to determine how best to assist during these next several days and beyond.

“As a part of this collaboration, the university requested and was immediately granted a number of waivers from general NCAA bylaws, including one that will allow the university to pay for Thomas’ younger sister to return to Lawrence with her brother.

“In addition, a waiver was granted that will allow anyone to donate Thomas Robinson to a fund created in his sister’s name to support her in the future. KU is able to cover the cost of the funeral for Thomas’ mother, as this is currently allowed under NCAA rules. The NCAA will continue discussions with the university to determine if any further assistance is needed to support Thomas and his family.”

KU associate AD Jim Marchiony reiterated coach Bill Self ’s comments — that the NCAA has been quite supportive.

“The NCAA has been great acknowledging the fact this is an unusual circumstance,” Marchiony said.

Marchiony explained that though the NCAA will allow KU to pay expenses for Robinson’s sister, Jayla, to come to Lawrence, “the issue of where Jayla will live is still being discussed.”

Robinson has been speaking with legal counsel about custody issues involving his 9-year-old sister.

“People have called to offer help in any way they can from offering space in their homes to outright adoption. It has been extremely heart-warming to be reminded that people can be so generous and compassionate in a time of such need,” Marchiony said. ●

Snow can’t slow Jayhawks: The charter flight, carrying KU’s players, coaches and some athletic department members to Washington, D.C., for today’s funeral services of Lisa Robinson, landed safely just before 8 p.m., Eastern time, Wednesday despite heavy snow, which followed an ice storm, in D.C. Runways were closed about a half hour after KU’s flight landed.

Lisa Robinson’s funeral services will be held at 11 a.m., Eastern time (visitation starts at 10 a.m.,) at Antioch Baptist Church (1105 50th Street NE).

The family is asking that, in lieu of flowers or other gifts, contributions be made to the Lisa Robinson Scholarship Fund, for the benefit of Jayla, c/o SNR Denton, 1301 K Street NW, Suite 600, East Tower, Washington, D.C., 20005-3364. The Scholarship Fund will be administered

by Christopher “Kit” Smith of SNR Denton US LLP and other fiduciaries selected by SNR Denton. Contributions to the Lisa Robinson Scholarship Fund are nondeductible for tax purposes.

No full obituary for Lisa Robinson has been available for publication. KU officials indicated Wednesday that it is believed Lisa was 43, not 37 as has been reported since her death.

Top Mizzou recruit ruled ineligible C O L U M B I A , M O . ( A P ) — Tony Mitchell, a prized recruit for Missouri, has been ruled ineligible by the NCAA and the school plans no further appeals.

The 6-foot-8, 220-pound forward from Dallas was considered one of the top high school prospects in the nation after averaging 20.5 points and 13.2 rebounds last season. No. 11

Missouri had been hopeful Mitchell could join the program for the spring semester.

The NCAA said Mitchell did not qualify academically. Mitchell was initially ruled ineligible on Jan. 5 and the school appealed to the Division I Initial Eligibility Waiver Committee, which upheld the staff decision on Jan. 13.

“I’m very disappointed for Tony and his family,” coach Mike Anderson said in a statement following the ruling. “Tony is an outstanding young man, someone that has worked diligently to attend our university. He has shown great resolve during a difficult situation and we will c o n t i n u e t o d o wh a teve r i s

DALLAS — By the start of the 2013 season Blake Griffin needs to be in a Dallas Mavericks uniform.

Mavs Prime Minister Mark Cuban needs to take this from the sports-bar hypothetical to “The Decision” reality.

That means clear out all necessary salary cap space and go LeBron on BGriff in the summer of ’13. Jim Gray will be available to make the announcement.

This can happen. If the Mavericks are going to go into the post-Dirk era without falling off the NBA universe, this must happen.

Watching The Blake Show make its first appearance at the AAC on Tuesday night is a glimpse of the NBA’s next Superman. Griffin’s presence is the only reason two-thirds of the less-than-sellout crowd at the AAC showed up on a Tuesday night in January.

“I know we’re an exciting team and how we’ve started to play is exciting to watch.

I’m glad people are coming to watch us play,” Griffin said after he scored 22 points with 11 rebounds in the Mavs’ 112-105 win.

“But at no point will I think this is just me.

It’s just something that I’m doing and we’re all doing.”

Blake Griffin has done the impossible — he has created a buzz about the worst franchise in professional sports. There were people in the stands Tuesday night wearing Clippers jerseys. Who knew the NBA sold Clippers gear?

He doesn’t need to waste another day in a Clippers uniform, so by the time he can be a free agent he will be 24, and entering the prime of his career. At that point Dirk will either be traded, or about done.

If waiting for BGriff means losing a whole year, do it. The Heat flushed an entire season waiting for LeBron and it looks like a good deal. When franchise players become available, you sell out and get them.

“People are talking MVP candidate.

That speaks to what he’s meant to the franchise in terms of the kind of attention they’re getting because of his play,” Mavs coach Rick Carlisle said before the game.

“One of the reasons is they have a Superman type of guy that is going make breathtaking plays and energize them.”

I came to the AAC in hopes of watching Griffin throw down a YouTube dunk on Brendan Haywood or some other Mav. He nearly was going to do just that late in the third quarter when he went baseline on Haywood, who had to take Griffin down by his forearm to avoid embarrassment.

Griffin had his arm heavily wrapped after the game but downplayed the severity.

“It’s always been like that,” Griffin said of being beat up. “I’m used to it.”

You can’t blame Haywood for wanting to avoid becoming another player posterized by Griffin.

“I’ve seen them all so I don’t get too hyped off his dunks unless he’s jumping over dudes,” said former North Crowley star and Clippers rookie guard Willie Warren; he played with Griffin at Oklahoma. “That was the one where he was stopped, but he kept going and going and just threw it in. I was like, ‘Oh (shoot)!”

Griffin did come through with one nice alley-oop jam in the first quarter. But this guy is so much more than an in-game dunk contest.

This is not talking about a refined product yet. He’s not a great foul shooter, and defensively he has issues.

At 21, BGriff doesn’t even know what he’s doing yet, but he can still get a double-double on days the Clippers don’t play.

Imagine what happens when he figures it out, and receives the “Do Not Touch” treatment from officials.

The Clippers are sitting on the NBA’s next hot item.

If it were any other franchise, it would be implausible that the Mavs, or any other team, would be able to sign this type of talent as a free agent. But this is the Clippers, an organization with a history so unbelievable it would be rejected by science fiction.

Griffin will want out by the time he’s a free agent. The Mavs need to have the cap space to sign him.

allowable to help him as we move forward.”

Injured Nadal loses in quarterfinals MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA — Rafael Nadal wiped the tears from his eyes with his tapedup fingers.

His Rafa Slam was evaporating. The 25match winning streak in Grand Slams and his bid to become the first man since Rod Laver in 1969 to hold all four major titles at once was three games from ending.

He was hurt. He was down two sets and a break. It was the same court, and the same round where he retired in the Australian Open last year. Yet the idea of packing it in didn’t even enter his mind.

“I hate the retirements,” he said, “This wasn’t the day. I did last year. I hate that moment. ... Didn’t want to repeat that.”

Six games later, Nadal was out of the tournament, losing 6-4, 6-2, 6-3 to fellow Spaniard David Ferrer on Wednesday night in Rod Laver Arena, the center court at Melbourne Park named after the Australian great whose four consecutive majors he was trying to match.

“It’s a victory for me. But it’s not a victory really,” Ferrer said.

On the women’s side, Li Na became the first Chinese player to reach a Grand Slam singles final, saving a match point before beating topranked Caroline Wozniacki, 3-6, 7-5, 6-3, today.

TENNIS Henin announces retirement BRUSSELS — Former No. 1 Justine Henin retired from tennis for a second time Wednesday, citing a lingering right elbow injury that cut short her comeback from a glittering career that included seven Grand Slam titles.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL Nebraska breaks off deal LINCOLN, NEB. — The Nebraska athletic department has ended its licensing agreement with the father of quarterback Taylor Martinez.

Casey Martinez of Corona, Calif., owns Corn Fed Apparel Inc. His agreement with the athletic department paid Nebraska a 10-percent royalty on Corn Fed T-shirts, caps and other products bearing the Cornhuskers’ logo.

Athletic director Tom Osborne said in a statement Wednesday that his staff recently learned that Taylor Martinez is registered as owner of the Corn Fed trademark and the CornFed.com website domain name. Osborne said the quarterback has no ownership in the Corn Fed company and that no NCAA rules have been broken.

Casey Martinez said he initiated conversations about breaking the contract.

“I made the decision to end our agreement to prevent any distractions to my son’s time at the University of Nebraska, as well as the football program,” he wrote in an e-mail to The Associated Press.

Colon, Yankees agree NEW YORK — Former Cy Young Award winner Bartolo Colon, out of the major leagues since 2009, has agreed to a minor league contract with the New York Yankees.

NFL Goodell: $1 salary if work stoppage NEW YORK — NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell will cut his salary to $1 if there is a work stoppage after the collective bargaining agreement expires in March.

Goodell, who makes about $10 million a year including bonuses, said in a memo to his staff Wednesday that chief negotiator Jeff Pash will do the same. Pash makes nearly $5 million a year.

Goodell also has asked the league’s compensation committee to delay any bonus payments to him until after a deal is reached with the NFL Players Association.

Body likely brother of Ravens star LULING, LA. — A body pulled from the Mississippi River has been tentatively identified as the brother of Baltimore Ravens safety Ed Reed, authorities said Wednesday at a news conference attended by the NFL star.

St. Charles Parish Sheriff Greg Champagne said tattoos on the body recovered late Tuesday appear to match those belonging to 28year-old Brian Reed, who jumped into the river after an encounter with a sheriff’s deputy.

An autopsy was planned for today.

UConn: Talks continue with donor

AUTO RACING NASCAR scraps points system

STORRS, CONN. — University of Connecticut officials have no plans to cut ties with a donor who has demanded the return of $3 million because he felt he was not adequately consulted in the hiring of a new football coach.

Interim President Philip Austin and Board of Trustees Chairman Lawrence McHugh told the Hartford Courant that they had phone conversations with the donor, Robert Burton, on Tuesday.

Speaking to reporters before a board meeting on Wednesday, McHugh said he hopes the school’s relationship with Burton isn’t destroyed over one issue.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — NASCAR has thrown out the points system used since 1975 in favor of a straight scoring format based on finishing position.

NASCAR chairman Brian France made the change official Wednesday night. It will give 43 points to the race winner and decrease through the field down to 1 point for the 43rdplace finisher.

The race winner will receive three bonus points. Each driver who leads a lap will receive one bonus point, and the driver who leads the most laps will receive an additional bonus point.

IOWA CITY, IOWA — The University of Iowa said Wednesday that 13 football players had to be hospitalized this week with a muscle disorder following grueling offseason workouts that left them with extreme soreness and discolored urine.

The players have rhabdomyolysis, a stressinduced syndrome that can damage cells and cause kidney damage and even failure in severe cases, school spokesman Tom Moore said at a news conference two days after players were hospitalized at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics in Iowa City.

KANSAS FOOTBALL

KU lands speedy WR

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

With less than a week remaining until signing day, the Kansas University football team continues to stack the Class of 2011.

Wednesday, just two days after landing a junior-college linebacker with blazing speed, the Jayhawks learned that Marquis Jackson, an allstate wide receiver from Arlington Heights High in Fort Worth, Texas, had orally committed to Kansas.

Jackson, a 6-foot, 205pound, three-star prospect, had no shortage of offers, as he turned down scholarships from Arkansas, Baylor, Houston, Kansas State, Minnesota, Nebraska and UTEP to join the Jayhawks.

Like so many members of the Class of 2011, Jackson’s biggest asset appears to be his speed. The first-team all-state selection, who hauled in 44 passes for 1,186 yards this season, has consistently been clocked in the sub-4.5-second range in the 40-yard dash. His high school coach, Ged Kates, told Rivals.com Wednesday that there was much more to

Jackson’s game than his wheels.

“When recruiters would come through the one word that stood out was ‘explosive,’” Kates told Rivals. “At every camp he was the fastest guy. He’s 205 pounds so he’s not small for a receiver. He’s our second-best squatter and squats over 500 pounds.”

Special teams and tight ends coach Aaron Stamn was the lead recruiter for Jackson and Kates said Stamn’s efforts to land the star receiver went a long way.

“I know he really likes coach Stamn and that was one reason,” Kates said. “I know he really enjoyed being around (head) coach (Turner) Gill. When coach Stamn was here and asked Marquis what he wanted at the next level, he told coach Stamn he wanted to play for coaches who will get the most out of him but feels like a family.”

The addition of Jackson, along with this week’s commitments from defensive ends Michael Reynolds and Javonte Daniel as well as linebacker Tunde Bakare, have put KU’s current recruiting

class — Gill’s first complete class — on the brink of cracking the Top 30 nationally. The 2011 signing period opens Wednesday, with national signing day. Most of KU’s recruits are expected to make their commitments official then.

Cornerback jumps ship While KU coach Turner Gill continues to add players to the Class of 2011 , one prospect, cornerback Kenneth Lynn, appears poised to drop the Jayhawks.

Lynn, a 5-11, 165-pound corner from Dallas, originally committed to Iowa State but switched his commitment to the Jayhawks late last month.

Wednesday, CycloneReport.com reported that Lynn had switched back to ISU and that his high school coach expected it to stay that way.

Lynn’s second change of heart is not a huge surprise.

Former KU wide receivers coach Darrell Wyatt, who left for Texas earlier this month, was the lead recruiter for Lynn. With Wyatt gone, it seems as if that was enough to entice Lynn to stick with his original choice.

Stuckey returns to area CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

After speaking and fielding questions for 30 minutes, Stuckey spent another hour posing for pictures with each class and signing autographs.

“I thought it was real cool,” said sixth-grader Dayton Morrissey. “I don’t get to meet a lot of KU players or pro football players.”

The whole event was equally as cool for Stuckey, a native of Kansas City, Kan., who always made giving back to the community a part of his routine.

“My goal in life is to influence as many people as I can in a positive way,” Stuckey said. “And football gives me that opportunity.”

At the top of his current todo list is continued preparation for his April 9 wedding to Lacie Reed, the older sister of

KU basketball player Tyrel Reed.

“She’s my priority right now and she reminds me every day about (the wedding),” Stuckey said with his signature smile. “We’re getting a lot of things done, and we’re gonna have a great wedding. We have 300 guests and it’s gonna be a lot of fun.”

As for football, Stuckey spent much of his rookie season with the Chargers as an observer. Groin and hamstring injuries kept him out of action most weeks, but the fourth-round pick in the 2010 NFL Draft said he learned plenty from the sideline and on the practice field.

“The game, of course, sped up, it was faster,” he said. “But I didn’t realize I was just as fast as everybody else. So here I am thinking the game’s moving faster and (San Diego coach) Norv (Turner) had to

pull me to the side and say, ‘Stuck, we gotta slow you down.’ I was like, ‘What? I thought you guys were moving out here.’ He goes, ‘We are, but you’re still moving faster than they are.’ So it was really about sitting back and understanding the game and letting it come to you. It was definitely like a red-shirt year.”

With just one game remaining in the 2010-11 season, Stuckey said, as a fan of the game, he would be watching next week’s Super Bowl between Green Bay and Pittsburgh with a close eye. So who’s going to win?

“I’m not sure,” he said. “I’m going for the best defense. We were the No. 1 defense this season in the regular season, overall, but I want to see a good, defensive game, guys out there making plays and having fun.”

The Lions, meanwhile, scored pins by Levi Florschutz (145), Andrew Denning (152), (171) Reece Wright-Conklin and Ben Seybert (189). Brad Wilson notched a resounding 17-2 win at 215 pounds.

Wright-Conklin, the reigning 6A champ at 160 pounds

and current top-ranked 171 pounder, was impressive in his own right.

The junior secured an easy first-round pin after a swift and powerful takedown, but was more pleased with the match immediately before his own.

“That’s what was mainly the match I wanted to see,” Wright-Conklin said, grin-

ning widely. “I’m proud of (Magdaleno). He did good.”

After being congratulated

by Wilson, Magdaleno smiled and enjoyed the win momentarily, but kept things in perspective.

“We’re just trying to build up for next month (and state tournament),” he said.

Simien’s jersey going to rafters CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B ●

Jersey to be hung Saturday: Former KU consensus f irst-team All-American Wayne Simien, who has a volunteer position at KU mentoring athletes in all sports and is basketball team chaplain, made the trip to D.C. with the Jayhawks for today’s Lisa Robinson funeral.

Simien will have his jersey hung in the rafters at halftime of Saturday’s game against Kansas State (6 p.m., Allen Fieldhouse).

Simien, who wore jersey No. 23 at KU from 2002-05, ranks 12th all-time at KU in scoring (1,593), seventh in

rebounding (884) and fourth in double-doubles (38). He helped KU to a 110-28 record during his career, winning three Big 12 Championships, while reaching two Final Fours and an Elite Eight.

Simien was also a two-time All-Big 12 First Team selection (2004 and 2005). He was the 2005 Big 12 Player of the Year.

Simien commented on the Jayhawks’ snowy travels on his twitter account (waynesimienctg) Wednesday night: “Just landed in a blizzard in D.C. Our pilot is a stud.”

And ... “We just got stuck in the snow...on a runway...in a plane! That's a first. Snow plows to the rescue.”

Knicks overtake Lakers NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Knicks have overtaken the Los Angeles Lakers as the NBA’s most valuable franchise, and 17 of the 30 teams are estimated to have lost money last season, according to Forbes.

The Knicks’ value rose 12 percent from $586 million to $655 million, the magazine said Wednesday in its annual evaluation. The rise was attributed to increased ticket

sales and sponsorships at Madison Square Garden.

The Lakers went up 6 percent from $607 million to $643 million.

Chicago was third at $511 million, followed by Boston ($452 million), Houston ($443 million) and Dallas ($438 million).

After signing Lebron James, the Miami Heat had the biggest percentage rise, a 17 percent increase to $425 mil-

lion, good for seventh place.

Following the loss of James, Cleveland dropped a leaguehigh 26 percent to $355 million.

The average value of a franchise increased 1 percent to $369 million, down from $379 million two years ago.

Forbes estimated teams averaged $6.1 million in operating income. It said the total of teams that lost money is the most since the lockout-shortened 1998-99 season.

FIREBIRD CLASSIC

The LiveWell EatWell Restaurant Challenge

Free State girls look for repeat

By Ben Ward Journal-World Sports Writer

Last season, the Free State High girls basketball team captured first place in the annual Firebird Winter Classic for the first time since the tournament’s inception in 2000.

Though the Firebirds are defending champs heading into the 11th year of the Winter Classic — a three-day tournament that begins today at FSHS — this year’s roster bears little resemblance.

The Firebirds, who play at 6:30 p.m. against Highland Park, return only two starters (juniors Lynn Robinson and Jackie Garcia) from the senior-laden team that topped Wichita Northwest in the finals a season ago.

“I was part of that team last year,” injured senior Paige Rothwell said. “I hope the girls go out and play how they know how to play, because we’ve got a good group, so I think we’ll be good.”

Coach Bryan Duncan said before this season that youth would never be an excuse, not that the Firebirds (5-4) have needed one.

That hasn’t changed heading into the Winter Classic, either, even though every team in the talented seventeam field boasts a winning record, including Highland Park (7-2).

“I certainly think our motivation is going to be extremely high for our game tomorrow,” Duncan said. “I think we’re going to see a very well played game on our part against a quality opponent in Highland Park.”

Following a tough loss in a makeup game at Shawnee Mission Northwest on Monday, the Firebirds were back at practice with a renewed focus.

“After Monday night’s game, it was kind of like a wakeup call,” Robinson said at practice on Wednesday. “We need to come to every game prepared. And we’re ready to bring it (today).”

Journal-World Sports Writer

Lawrence High girls basketball coach Nick Wood knows his team will be challenged in every game it plays in the Capital City Classic at Washburn Rural.

He also knows that his team has to learn how to start games with the proper level of energy. The Lions (36) have had a few bad first quarters, often falling in a hole that they can’t climb out.

“That’s where the girls have to step up at some point and be leaders and get themselves

ready to go from the opening tip,” Wood said.

His players will get another shot to play well in the first quarter tonight against Topeka Seaman (5-5) at 7:30 p.m.

Eight teams make up the tournament, including top seeds Maize (7-2) and host Washburn Rural (7-3).

The LHS coaches can prepare as much as possible, but Wood says they can’t force their players to come out of the locker room with loads of energy.

“Eventually, they have to take ownership of this team and when they walk out there on the floor, they’re ready to go,” Wood said.

Happiness shouldn’t be sacrificed for money

anniesmailbox@creators.com

itive role model for my children, and I don’t like the person I am when I’m with Bill.

Please give me your thoughts.

— Pregnant and Feeling Alone

Dear Anywhere: If your sister can’t get Allen to stop dragging his relatives to your parties, she should at least convince him to call the hostess in advance and warn her.

The hostess should then tell Allen that space precludes them from inviting additional people. If he brings them anyway, we think your sister should host the next family gathering. In fact, we’d insist on it.

— Please e-mail your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or write to Annie’s Mailbox, P.O. Box 118190 Chicago, IL 60611.

Dear Pregnant: Pregnancy seems to have given you a much-needed backbone and a clearer perspective on what behavior to model for your children. If Bill treats you terribly and getting back together depresses you, please don’t do it. He is legally obligated to provide financial support for the baby whether you reconcile or not. If you have family members close by, enlist their help.

Universal Crossword Edited by Timothy E. Parker January 27, 2011

Dear Annie: I come from a very large family. When we plan a family event, the crowd is big and the spaces are small.

The problem is my oldest sister’s husband. “Allen” is a total jerk and ruins all of these parties by bringing along several of his family members

Winter X: Extreme sports in the extremely cold weather Viewers who like to watch their coldweather sports from the vantage point of a heated TV room are in luck. Winter X Games (8 p.m., ESPN) return with more than 24 hours of action on the white stuff presented in high definition on ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPN3.com.

Tonight’s action includes Snowboard Superpipe Men’s elimination and Skiing Slopestyle Women’s Final and Skiing Superpipe Women’s Final. I have no idea what I’m writing about.

For fans who just can’t wait for prime time, Skiing Slopestyle Men’s Elimination kicks off at 11 a.m. on ESPN2. ● Did you ever wonder why every time you go to the supermarket with the intention of only buying a quart of milk, you end up leaving with $30 worth of other stuff? It’s no accident. The secrets behind sneaky merchandising can be found on “Supermarkets Inc.: Inside a $500 Billion Money Machine” (8 p.m., CNBC).

After watching this, you’ll no longer think of yourself as a shopper but as a guinea pig in what has been described as the longest-running psychological experiment in history. That milk you wanted is located on the far end of the store for a reason. To get there, you have to pass by thousands of items — 65,000 in the average supermarket. That’s a lot of temptation.

Dear Annie: I have been divorced from “Bill” for more than a year and separated for almost two. I am currently expecting his baby. Obviously, we were still sleeping together, but this pregnancy was a total accident.

I’ve always wanted a second child, and this should be a happy time for me, but I am miserable. I’ve tried many times to get back together with Bill, and until recently, we actually “dated” off and on.

The divorce was his idea, and he’s the one who initiated the possibility of getting back together. I always went along because I thought I loved him and would never get over him.

The problem is, now that we are bringing another child into the mix, I’ve realized after much soul searching that I don’t love him anymore. Bill still treats me with the same amount of disrespect and hostility he always has. I put up with it out of low self-esteem and a fear of being alone. We tried counseling with no success because he hated it and refused to go.

Should I end things between us and raise the children on my own? I don’t want to sacrifice my happiness just so I can have a second income and (minimal) help with the new baby. I don’t want to fall into a depression again and become a shell of the person I used to be. I want to be a pos-

BIG 12 ROUNDUP

BYU, Fredette knock off SDSU The Associated Press

No. 9 BYU 71, No. 4 San Diego State 58 PROVO, UTAH — Jimmer Fredette scored 43 points and BYU beat San Diego State before a frenzied crowd Wednesday night, handing the Aztecs their first defeat of the season.

The loss by SDSU (20-1, 5-1 Mountain West Conference) leaves No. 1 Ohio State as the only unbeaten team in the nation at 21-0.

BYU (20-1, 6-0) has won 10 straight, and six in a row at home against San Diego State.

The biggest regular-season basketball game in Mountain West history didn't disappoint. The first matchup of top-10 teams in the conference was tight from the start, with 15 lead changes and seven ties.

The Cougars trailed, 31-30 at halftime, thanks to a late three-pointer by San Diego State’s Kawhi Leonard.

But BYU, now alone atop the Mountain West, turned it on in the second half. With the score tied at 44, the Cougars went on a 16-8 run to take a 6052 lead with 4:12 to go.

Leonard had 22 points to lead the Aztecs.

SAN DIEGO ST. (20-1) Thomas 4-11 2-2 10, Leonard 8-20 5-8 22, White 3-9 0-2 6, Tapley 3-7 0-0 8, Gay 0-7 2-3 2, Carlwell 0-0 0-0 0, Shelton 1-3 0-0 3, Rahon 3-5 0-0 7.

The Friars had gone 51 weeks and 17 games without a Big East victory before beating No. 19 Louisville, 72-67, on Saturday but now have won two straight conference games. They never trailed in this one and the Wildcats couldn’t mount a serious comeback.
