LAWRENCE POLICE CHIEF CANDIDATES ARE INTRODUCED at an open house to meet the candidates Thursday at the Carnegie Building. From left are finalists Mark Kessler, a deputy chief in Overland Park; Clark Morrow, an Olathe police captain; Tarik Khatib, Lawrence interim police chief; and Brian Jackson, a captain with the Lincoln, Neb., police department.

Candidates interact with residents

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

Neighborhood issues and the future of the Lawrence Police Department were topics on the forefront of Thursday’s public open house with the four candidates seeking to be the city’s next police chief.

And the candidates — Lawrence’s interim chief and police administrators from Overland Park, Olathe and Lincoln, Neb. — tried to play up their strengths to the dozens of people at the Carnegie Building, 200 W. Ninth St. The four finalists are Brian Jackson, a Lincoln, Neb., police captain; Mark Kessler, an Overland Park deputy chief; Tarik Khatib, Lawrence’s interim chief; and Clark Morrow, an Olathe police captain.

“It says a lot about the city of Lawrence that we’ve got people like this who are interested,” said

Michael Orozco, a regional president for US Bank who attended Thursday’s open house along with about 60 people.

Corliss said the candidates spent most of Thursday interviewing with a panel made up of members of the public plus city and police department employees. They also interviewed with Corliss and Diane Stoddard, an assistant city manager, and

met with other elected and law enforcement officials.

City officials also graded each candidate in a mock media exercise during the day.

At Thursday’s open house, the candidates mostly participated in one-on-one conversations with members of the public and law enforcement officers who attended.

Some residents wanted to talk about specific issues.

“I’m concerned about ensuring that domestic violence services are provided with respectful and adequate responses to domestic violence victims,” said Sarah Terwelp, executive director of The Willow Domestic Violence Center.

Hundreds protest abolishing arts commission

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

T O P E K A — Waving puppets and signs, about 200 people on Thursday rallied across the street from the Capitol to protest Gov. Sam Brownback’s elimination of the Kansas Arts Commission.

“I believe the arts are an integral part of everyone’s heritage,” said Laura Ramberg, of Lawrence, who held a large puppet of the “Kansas Muse.”

Brownback has issued an executive order to abolish the Arts Commission, saying it will save about $600,000 in the next fiscal year. The state faces an estimated $492 million revenue shortfall, and Brownback says he wants to “protect the core functions of government.”

Supporters of the Arts Commission said the cut will also mean the loss of an additional $1.2 million in federal funding and will hurt dozens of local communities, especially small

ones, and projects that receive funding.

Brownback has said the private sector will step up to the plate. He has appointed a nonprofit arts foundation to raise funds.

“There will be more money for arts, rather than less,” he said.

But people at the rally didn’t buy that.

Shannon Riley of the Topeka Civic Theater said, “If only the private sector supports the arts, only the private sector will have access to the arts.”

And Henry Schwaller, chairman of the Kansas Arts Commission, referred to relying solely on private support, saying, “We know how difficult and unsuccessful that will be.”

He said arts funding is crucial to enhance the education of young Kansans.

He noted that many children who visit the Capitol remember the murals there by John Steuart Curry.

Sen. Roger Reitz, R-Manhattan, urged those at the

Brownback’s plan can be stopped by either the House or Senate, and Reitz said he was close to having a majority in the 40-member Senate to reverse Brownback’s executive order.

“We are better than this, to let this go away,” said Reitz. Sen. Marci Francisco, D-Lawrence, also attended the rally.

Rod Bremby said he was shocked when Gov. Mark Parkinson removed him as secretary of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.

That decision came back in November and after Bremby said he was asked to resign as head of the KDHE to coordinate the cabinet transition from Parkinson’s administration to that of incoming Gov. Sam Brownback.

While Bremby said he was happy to help with the transi- Bremby tion, he wasn’t willing to leave his office to do so.

On Thursday in his first public appearance since leaving office, Bremby quickly cleared the air about his departure.

“I did not resign. I did not step down. I did not quit. I was removed, and you can label that however you wish,” Bremby told a crowd at Kansas City Kansas Community College.

Bremby said he never had the opportunity to ask the governor why he was removed.

“Inside, I think I know what the issue is. But because my speculation or my beliefs could impact someone else’s character, I am reluctant to do that,” he said.

On Nov. 2, Bremby was placed on administrative leave, but continued to be on the state payroll.

“That was not my solution, but that was the solution around severance,” he said.

Bremby, who lives in Lawrence, spent much of the hour-and-half-long talk defending his most controversial decision during his nearly eight years as secretary. In 2007, he denied Sunflower Electric Power Corp.’s permit to build a coalfired power plant in western Kansas.

Bremby’s decision on the $2.8 billion plant in Holcomb was supported by then-Gov. Kathleen Sebelius.

In 2009, Parkinson became governor and crafted a deal to allow for the project in exchange for reducing the plant down from two 700-megawatt plants and getting legislators to approve renewable-energy legislation.

Sunflower re-entered the permit process. After Bremby’s departure, replacement John Please see BREMBY, page 2A

COL. JACK C. G ENTRY O’FALLON, ILL. — A Mass of Christian burial for Col. Jack C. Gentry, 79, O’Fallon, will be at 9 a.m. today at St. Nicholas Catholic Church in O’Fallon. Burial with full military honors will follow at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery in St. Louis, Mo. He died Monday, Feb. 7, 2011, in Gentry Belleville.

He was born June 22, 1931, in Manhattan, Kan., the son of Frank and Dee Dodson Gentry.

Col. Gentry entered the Air Force in September 1954 after graduating from Washburn University in Topeka, Kan. He earned graduate degrees from George Washington University and Auburn University.

and they all have the experience,” Orozco said.

Others left with their minds made up.

Steven Butler, a retired Army colonel, said he didn’t see the need for Corliss to bring in someone from outside. He said he was pleased with how the Lawrence department has operated and supported Khatib getting the permanent position.

“He’s a local man, with local experience, local connections and knowledge of the streets,” Butler said.

Khatib has spent his entire career in Lawrence, starting as an officer more than 18 years ago, and said he knows the department from the “inside-out.”

“At the same time, I’ve kept an open mind. I’ve kept myself open to outside ideas,” Khatib said. “I’ve sought training, and I’ve sought experiences, which hopefully has allowed me to bring new ideas to the table.”

Jackson, who oversees a joint city-county drug task force in Nebraska, said he has found ways to be creative in conducting police work. He also sees similarities between Lincoln and Lawrence because both are home to major state universities.

“I have a strong work ethic that has gotten me to where I am today,” he said. “And I believe that strength is being part of a professional police department that is very innovative.”

Kessler said he would rely on his experience after working more than a decade as a deputy chief in Overland Park.

Mitchell approved a permit for a proposed 895-megawatt coal-burning power plant, just before new federal regulations on greenhouse gases went into effect in January.

All Bremby would say Thursday about the latest permit approval was that he passed his advice onto the governor and has not commented on the decision publicly.

However, he was willing to talk about the politics involved in the decision.

“The process was not a benign, pristine, routine bureaucratic process. Unfortunately, there were abuses,” Bremby said.

“If you look at the influence of lobbying dollars in this process, it is staggering. If we are to protect this exercise, this way of governing ourselves, things like this can’t happen,” he said.

At the time of his decision, Bremby denied the power plant’s application because of the “contribution of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases to climate

change and the potential harm to our environment and health.”

It was a decision that was hailed by environmentalists across the country.

During his talk Thursday, Bremby defended his legal right to deny the permit and the science that supports climate change.

For those on either side of the coal-fire power plant debate, Bremby said they should search for areas where they agree and then go from there.

Kansans need to start thinking collectively about how to be sustainable.

“I don’t think we have the luxury of dismissing people with disparate opinions,” Bremby said. “But I do think it is going to take a lot more work and a lot more effort than I know how to start.”

While Bremby said he loved serving Kansas as KDHE secretary, he is ready to move on. As for what’s next, Bremby said he doesn’t know.

court’s chief judge from January 2001 to 2007.

She has also been a member of the KU law faculty and rose through the ranks to the position of KU’s vice chancellor for academic affairs before being appointed to the federal bench.

Tacha said she’ll be staying involved with a number of volunteer and civic organizations in Lawrence. She said she hoped to continue her work with the Freedom’s

Frontier National Heritage Area, though she didn’t know if she’d be able to continue as chairwoman.

She said she’d also like to continue her association with the KU Endowment Association if her new employer allows. Though fundraising would certainly be a requirement of her job at Pepperdine, she said the two schools likely don’t compete for many donors’ funds.

She earned a bachelor’s degree from KU and a law degree from the University

of Michigan.

Her appointment follows a nine-month national search to replace former dean Kenneth W. Starr, who became president of Baylor University.

Tacha, who just entered senior status as a judge earlier this year, will retire completely from the bench in June as she takes her new post.

Judge hears arguments in homeless shelter suit

1 | PHOENIX

Gov. countersues federal government Gov. Jan Brewer sued the federal government Thursday for failing to control Arizona’s border with Mexico and enforce immigration laws, and for sticking the state with huge costs associated with jailing illegal immigrants who commit crimes.

The lawsuit claims the federal government has failed to protect Arizona from an “invasion” of illegal immigrants. It seeks increased reimbursements and extra safeguards, such as additional border fences.

Brewer’s court filing serves as a countersuit in the federal government’s legal challenge to Arizona’s new enforcement immigration law. The U.S. Justice Department is seeking to invalidate the law.

A spokesman for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which is in charge of policing the country’s borders, called Brewer’s lawsuit a meritless action and said Border Patrol staffing is higher than ever.

GOP effort to block health care reform advances

Trump dangles potential 2012 bid Just how wide open is the Republican presidential field? Vast enough that Donald Trump may want you to hire him.

The billionaire real estate mogul and host of television’s “The Apprentice” got a raucous reception Thursday when he dangled a potential candidacy before thousands of conservatives who descended on the nation’s capital eager to help a GOP challenger deny President Barack Obama a second term.

“The United States is becoming the laughingstock of the world,” Trump said, sounding every bit a candidate as he offered his rationale for a possible bid. In a speech sprinkled with quips and jabs, he said he would decide by June whether to run.

“The Donald” was among almost a dozen potential presidential candidates, in various stages of considering a 2012 run, auditioning before 11,000 conservatives at the three-day Conservative Political Action Conference. The annual gathering marked the unofficial start of the GOP presidential nomination fight.

Not a single Republican has announced his or her candidacy and each day seems to bring a new player into the mix.

January deficit grows by $50B The federal government’s budget deficit grew by $50 billion in January and is expected to finish the year as the highest in history.

The Treasury Department said Thursday the deficit was one of the highest ever for the month of January, second only to the $63 billion deficit recorded two years ago. For the first four months of this budget year, the deficit totaled $418.8 billion, 2.7 percent lower than the same period a year ago.

But this improving trend is expected to reverse in coming months. The Congressional Budget Office is projecting a record deficit of $1.5 trillion this budget year, which ends in September.

Agile dogs have their day at contest

Kin of Lucy had feet for walking Lucy’s feet were made for walking.

That’s the word from a team of researchers who got a first look at a foot bone from this human relative who lived 3 million or more years ago, and concluded this ancestor was fully comfortable with life on the ground, rather than the trees.

Carol Ward of the University of Missouri, and colleagues, report in today’s edition of the journal Science that the discovery shows that ancient Australopithecus afarensis had feet similar to modern humans.

The famous fossil Lucy is the poster girl for her group of ancient hominins. The study of her other bones showed she was able to stand upright. But no foot bones were found with her skeleton, so researchers have puzzled over whether she walked like modern people or was a blend of ground- and tree-dweller.

Carol Easterley drove more than four hours to Lawrence for a long weekend on Wednesday. She’ll spend most of her time in a large dirt-floored building filled with what looks like playground equipment at the Douglas County Fairgrounds. She’s not alone, though.

She will be there with hundreds of other people, and just as many dogs.

Easterley, who traveled from Belleville, Ill., brought Addie, her 4-year-old Weimaraner, to Lawrence for an agility competition sponsored

by Triune Agility Club of Lawrence. The agility event features dogs running, jumping, going over seesaws and running through tunnels.

Dogs will run in three different events — fast, standard and jumps — about 660 times per day Friday through Sunday.

She took Addie to confirmation dog shows, the kind people watch on TV where dogs stand perfectly still and must fit certain standards.

Addie was intimidated at the show and put her tail down, which didn’t fit her breed’s standards. So a friend suggested agility training, and it took off from there.

“I started the agility and just fell in love with it,” she said. “We’re just having a ball. It’s so much fun.”

TOPEKA — Republicans argued Thursday that voting for a proposed constitutional amendment aimed at rejecting federal health reform was one of the most important actions legislators could take this session.

But Democrats said the measure was meaningless and somewhat deceitful.

The proposal was advanced in the House on LEGISLATURE a 93-26 vote with final action expected today.

The proposed amendment to the Kansas Constitution says that no law or rule shall force an individual or employer to buy health insurance. A provision in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act requires most Americans to purchase health insurance starting in 2014.

Speaking to the House GOP caucus earlier Thursday, House Speaker Mike O’Neal, RHutchinson, said a vote for the proposal “is one of the most important statements that the House can make in 2011.”

O’Neal said Republican success in the 2010 election was a “referendum on the restoration of state’s rights” against Washington, D.C. Many Democrats opposed the amendment, saying the state can’t nullify a federal law.

“I think we are misleading people,” said state Rep. Ed Trimmer, D-Winfield. He said the U.S. Supreme Court will eventually

Former newspaper editor says journalism ideologies eroding John S. Carroll to receive William Allen White national citation today

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

A longtime former newspaper reporter and editor said journalists’ ideologies are experiencing a slow erosion.

John S. Carroll is a former editor of the Los Angeles Times, Baltimore Sun and Lexington HeraldLeader. He is scheduled to receive the William Allen White Foundation’s national citation this afternoon.

In an interview on Thursday, he said it’s important — particularly in the times we live in — for journalists, one, to think about their fundamental beliefs, and, two, to be able to clearly

CITATION PRESENTATION Former newspaper editor John S. Carroll will deliver a speech, “Ideology in a Hurricane,” after receiving the 2011 William Allen White Foundation’s national citation at 1:30 p.m. today at the Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union. state why they’re doing what they do every day.

“Journalistic ideology has weakened over the last couple of generations,” he said.

Today, he’s living in Lexington, Ky., with his wife and working on a book and remains involved with a number of nonprofits.

One such nonprofit, the News Literacy Project, seeks to help middle and high school students understand the difference between good and bad information online.

“In the online world, there is a lot

of stuff that looks like journalism,” Carroll said. “Some of it is journalism, in fact. Some of it is propaganda. And some of it is marketing.”

One story in particular that stood out when looking back was one that exposed how Philadelphia police detectives were beating suspects to get confessions.

He oversaw two journalists, Bill Marimow and Jonathan Neumann, who did the reporting for the Philadelphia Inquirer that earned a Pulitzer Prize.

The work led to a reversal of a homicide conviction and to a federal investigation.

He said it was particularly satisfying as a young editor to contribute to work that had an impact on the world.

“When you go to work, you want it to mean something bigger than a means of entertaining yourself and getting a paycheck,” he said.

Carroll would go on to be involved

in many more award-winning stories.

The Los Angeles Times won 13 Pulitzer Prizes during his tenure as editor, and coverage he directed earned Pulitzers at The Baltimore Sun and the Lexington Herald-Leader.

He said he was honored to be named the recipient of this year’s annual award from the William Allen White Foundation.

“I was thrilled,” Carroll said. “I was especially thrilled when I read the list of people who have received it in the past.”

The list includes a number of his bosses who taught him the craft of journalism, he said, and were people he admired and looked up to throughout his career.

“I never really considered myself as a peer of theirs,” he said. “I still don’t.”

The boy was eventually taken to Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo., where he stayed for more than a week. Velasco’s 16year-old stepson, who also was in the back of the truck, was not injured.

Defense attorney John Frydman said that as part of the plea agreement both sides would ask District Judge Paula Martin to give him the minimum sentence of 120 days in jail.

ty of the state’s citizens,” the Republican governor said.

“After decades of piecemeal growth and change, the Kansas economic development system needs to be revitalized.”

Brownback’s plan includes several initiatives that he has already announced. They include reorganizing state economic development agencies, proposing to increase the expensing of certain business investments to spur growth, creation of the Governor’s Council of Economic Advisors.

The council will include Cabinet secretaries for labor, commerce, revenue and agriculture.

The council will be looking at a broad policy, officials said, building on the state’s global strengths in agriculture, aviation and biosciences.

Brownback also proposes a five-year individual income tax rebate for residents who relocate to Kansas to any county that has experienced double-digit population declines since 2000. Another plan would allow all businesses greater latitude in expensing capital investments to take advantage of state and federal tax credits.

But Brownback said he wasn’t proposing eliminating other taxes this year, such as corporate income taxes or reducing the state sales tax rate, because of budget constraints. Kansas faces a projected $492 million budget shortfall in the fiscal year that begins July 1.

Business Hall of Fame celebrates opening

By Mark Fagan mfagan@ljworld.com

The new Lawrence Business Hall of Fame may honor the past, but its biggest job just may be embracing the future.

The hall, a project of Junior Achievement, celebrated its grand opening Thursday afternoon inside the Lawrence Public Library’s Business Center, a technology and resource center on the building’s lower level at 707 Vt. “The mission of Junior Achievement is to educate and inspire our young people in grades K through 12 — and that’s in the Lawrence, Eudora and Baldwin school districts — on the value of the free-enterprise system,� said Dale Willey, chairman of the organization’s Hall of Fame Committee, during an afternoon reception. “We teach about business, economics, leadership. And we do that each year, with community volunteers. “This is the final piece of the education process for these youngsters, because now we can have people who have actually been there as an example to look up to, as role models, to follow.�

Boys and Girls Club celebrates top youths

As Aspen McDaniel has heard, it takes a village to raise a child.

The Boys and Girls Club of Lawrence is part of her village.

The feeling among other club members was the same Thursday night during the annual Youth of the Year competition at Abe and Jake’s Landing, 8 E. Sixth St. The crowd that gathered for the dinner and public speaking contest consisted of club members from various parts of the community, their parents and club leaders.

Janet Bremby, executive director for the local club, said this year’s four finalists made a great group. “We’ve got some wonderful kids,� Free State High School sophomore McDaniel said. “I’m pretty excited about it.�

And the message from those competing, which was supposed to be about what the club has meant to them, was one of appreciation and respect. All four speakers, who’ve spent anywhere from five to 10 years in the program, talked about their desire to give back to the community that gave them so much.

And while KU football coach Turner Gill and former Jayhawk and Boys and Girls Club volunteer Darrell Stuckey highlighted the guest speakers, it was really all about the kids. “It’s played a huge role in my life,� West Junior High School freshman Innocent Anavberokhai said. “I’d bet it’s built real character in all these candidates. It’s been a huge blessing to have Boys and Girls Club be part of our lives.�

The other two finalists, Darius Vann, a freshman at West, and Ajala Anavberokhai, FSHS sophomore, also gave their speeches Thursday evening.

The event was the culmination of a lengthy process that included essay writing, reference letters, public speaking and an extensive interview process.

Each contestant said the club has helped them grow in one way or another. Vann said it’s helped him gain confidence and friends. To Ajala, “Ii means family. It means a safe place,� she said. “It literally is my childhood. It’s memories.�

The Lawrence winner will compete next in the state competition in March.

All four laureates offer excellent examples for the 11 ,000 students in the Lawrence school district to follow, said Rick Doll, district superintendent and Junior Achievement board member. “Our hope would be that some kiddo out there in our system right now is up on this wall — or some wall around here — in the future,� Doll said. — Schools reporter Mark Fagan can be reached at 832-7188.

T O P E K A â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A group that advocates for gay rights on Thursday criticized state Rep. TerriLois Gregory, R-Baldwin City, over her questioning of a transsexual woman. Gregory issued an apology.

The dispute stemmed from a hearing before the House Elections Committee on a bill that would require photo ID to vote and require new voters show proof of citizenship, such as a birth certificate, to register to vote.

Stephanie Mott of Topeka testified against the bill, saying the requirements could disenfranchise transgender voters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My birth certificate still says â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Stevenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Male.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; My driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license now says â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Stephanieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Female.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; For me to amend my birth certificate, I must complete several years of medically supervised transition, which will ultimately cost more than $20,000,â&#x20AC;? Mott said.

Gregory then asked Mott if her choices came with certain costs.

The Kansas Equality Coalition criticized Gregory over her remarks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For an elected official to suggest that Ms. Mott, and others similarly situated, must accept disenfranchisement as a cost of their transition is both offensive and outrageous,â&#x20AC;? said Thomas Witt, chairman of the Kansas Equal-

ity Coalition. The coalition advocates against discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

Mott, who is a member of the coalition, and executive director of the Kansas Statewide Transgender Education Project, said she had no choice in becoming a woman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a choice for me between living and dying. If I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t made the decision to transition, I would be dead today,â&#x20AC;? she said.

When told of the criticism, Gregory responded, saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Based on the statement from the Kansas Equality Coalition and Ms. Mottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s response in committee, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear I worded my question in a way that did not reflect my intent and unintentionally offended Ms. Mott. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most unfortunate. I offer Ms. Mott my apology again for the poorlyworded question, and had the conversation continued, I feel sure my desire to help resolve her concerns wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been evident. I appreciate her testimony, and know we will consider her insight when working the bill.â&#x20AC;?

Contacted later, Mott said she appreciated Gregoryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s statement. Mott said she hoped Gregory and the committee would realize what a hardship the proposed legislation would be to transgender individuals.

Judge hears arguments in shelter suit CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

park contend long-standing covenants prohibit a homeless shelter from locating in the park, but shelter attorney Jerry Wells argued no such language is included in the covenants.

“What they want you to do is infer or imply a restriction, and that can’t be done,” Wells said.

But Todd Thompson, an attorney for the trustees, said the covenants are clear that the park is for industrial, governmental and business uses.

He said the shelter doesn’t fall into any of those categories.

“The law does not require the absurd listing of every use you want to prohibit,”

Thompson said. “One cannot intellectually, honestly read these covenants COURTS and conclude that they allow people to live in the park.”

City commissioners have approved a special use permit for the shelter to locate at 3701 Franklin Park Circle. But commissioners said at the time of the approval that they weren’t making any judgment about whether the covenants allowed a shelter use at the site.

Attorneys for the trustee

group — which is led by Lawrence businessman Steve Glass — argued the shelter project is far from a done deal regardless. Attorneys asked the court to rule that the shelter doesn’t have proper standing to have filed the lawsuit — the shelter is the plaintiff in the suit — because it does not have a completed bank loan and thus has no certainty that it could purchase the building even if it wins the lawsuit.

Loring Henderson, director of the shelter, confirmed that his group doesn’t have a finalized bank loan, but he said discussions with a bank have gone well and he doesn’t expect that to be an issue.

The shelter has agreed to

pay about $2 million for the building. Shelter leaders have raised about $1.6 million in funds, but anticipate that a “bridge loan” will be needed to close the transaction and to give the shelter more time to raise the needed funds through donations.

“The bank has always said ‘when, not if,’ when they have talked to us,” said Doug Brown, a commercial real estate agent who also is part of the shelter’s leadership team.

Pokorny did not give a specific timeline for her decision, but attorneys said it could be in a matter of days.

GOP advances amendment to block health care reform CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

rule on the validity of the law based on the U.S. Constitution and not any changes to state constitutions.

State Rep. Barbara Ballard, D-Lawrence, defended the federal health reform law, saying that repealing it would have a devastating effect on millions of people who will be provided benefits.

She said sweeping reforms always generate opposition after they are passed, such as Social Security and the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

“If we had not passed that, where would our country be today?” she said.

But state Rep. John Rubin, R-Shawnee, and a former federal administrative judge, said the proposal was needed to protect the 10th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which says that powers not granted to the federal government are reserved for the states.

“If anyone in Washington or Topeka can order a Kansan to buy anything, then the 10th Amendment is meaningless,” he said.

He said the federal government was dictating too much, including what kind of light bulbs can be used and how much water a toilet can flush.

Constitutional amendments require a two-thirds majority in the House and Senate — 84 votes in the 125member House and 27 votes in the 40-member Senate — before they can be placed on the ballot. Supporters of the provision want it on the ballot in November 2012.

Dogs to show off agility at event CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Addie is ranked ninth in the country, but it hasn’t come without practice. The dogs know where to run in a course based on the body language of their trainer, who is running on the course with them. The slight drop of a shoulder can mean a dog taking the wrong jump.

“Standing out here, it looks easy, but if it were easy, we wouldn’t all be doing it,” Easterley said.

Trainer and dog get to know each other very well with the ultimate goal of completing a course with no mistakes, generally in about

30 seconds.

“It’s all about the two of us together, the relationship you build with your dog and the camaraderie,” Easterley said.

Easterley sometimes makes the drive to Lawrence just to train with Joan Meyer, who owns Triune Agility Club. Meyer has been training dogs in agility since 1992, but said she really started training dogs when she was 12 and wasn’t allowed to have a dog.

“I started training the neighbor’s dogs,” Meyer said.

“My first one was a Saint Bernard.”

Many of the dogs at the event are rescue dogs, like

Gretchen, the 6-year-old mini schnauzer who belongs to Sue Phillips. Phillips, of Columbia, Ill., trains her dog with Easterley and started after needing an outlet for Gretchen.

“She had a lot of fear aggression,” she said. “Agility gave her life.”

The trainers all make friends, and the contests become a social event.

“It’s like anything else like golf or fishing, and you get hooked on it,” Easterley said.

“You meet a tremendous amount of wonderful people.”

Whaling ship from 1823 wreck found HONOLULU (AP) — A fierce sperm whale sank the first whaling ship under George Pollard’s command and inspired the classic American novel “Moby-Dick.” A mere two years later, a second whaler captained by Pollard struck a coral reef during a night storm and sank in shallow water.

Marine archaeologists scouring remote atolls 600 miles northwest of Honolulu have found the wreck site of Pollard’s second vessel — the Two Brothers — which went down in 1823.

Most of the wooden Nantucket whaling ship disintegrated in Hawaii’s warm waters in the nearly two centuries since. But researchers found several harpoons, a hook used to strip whales of their blubber, and try pots or large cauldrons whalers used to turn whale blubber into oil.

Corals have grown around and on top of many of the objects, swallowing them into the reef.

“To f ind the physical remains of something that seems to have been lost to time is pretty amazing,” said Nathaniel Philbrick, an author and historian who spent more than three years researching the Essex — and its fatal encounter with the whale — the Two Brothers and their captain. “It just makes you realize these stories are more than stories.

They’re about real lives.”

Officials from the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument — one of the world’s largest marine reserves — were due to announce their findings at a news conference today, exactly 188 years after the Two Brothers sank.

Kelly Gleason, the maritime archaeologist who led the discovery, first saw the ship’s anchor in 2008 while surveying French Frigate Shoals.

The anchor could have belonged to any one of three 19th century whaling ships

that sank at this atoll. But additional artifacts found by Gleason’s team over the next two years — like the cast iron cooking pots scattered around the wreck site — were unmistakably from the 1820s, while the other two vessels sank in 1859 and 1867.

EGYPT

Mubarak refuses to quit, hands powers to V.P.

By Hamza Hendawi and Sarah El Deeb Associated Press Writers

CAIRO — President Hosni Mubarak refused to step down or leave Egypt and instead handed most of his powers to his vice president Thursday, enraging protesters who warned the country could explode in violence and pleaded for the military to take action to push him out.

The rapidly moving events raised the question of whether a rift had opened between Mubarak and the military command over the uprising demanding the president’s resignation. Hours earlier, a council of the military’s top generals announced it had stepped in to secure the country, and a senior commander announced to protesters in Cairo’s Tahrir Square that all their demands would soon be met, raising cries of victory that Mubarak was on his way out.

Several hundred thousand had packed into Tahrir Square, ecstatic with expectation that Mubarak would announce his resignation in his nighttime address. Instead, they watched in shocked silence as he spoke, holding their foreheads in

anger and disbelief. Some broke into tears. Others waved their shoes in the air in contempt. After the speech, they broke into chants of “Leave, leave, leave.”

Organizers called for even larger protests today. After Mubarak’s speech, around 2,000 marched on the state television headquarters several blocks away from Tahrir, guarded by the military with barbed wire and tanks. “They are the liars,” the crowd shouted, pointing at the building, chanting, “We won’t leave, they will leave.”

Hundreds more massed outside Mubarak’s main administrative palace, Oruba, miles away from Tahrir in the Cairo district of Heliopolis, the first time protesters have marched on it, according to witnesses and TV reports.

The residence where Mubarak normally stays when he is in Cairo is inside the palace, though it was not known if he was there.

Prominent reform advocate and Nobel Peace laureate Mohamed ElBaradei, whose supporters were among the organizers of the 17-day-old wave of protests, issued a Tweet warning: “Egypt will explode.”

“The army must save the country now,” he said. “I call on the Egyptian army to immediately interfere to rescue Egypt. The credibility of the army is on the line.”

President Barack Obama appeared dismayed by Mubarak’s announcement. He said in a statement that it was not clear that an “immediate, meaningful” transition to democracy was taking place and warned that too many Egyptians are not convinced that the government is serious about making genuine change.

“The Egyptian government must put forward a credible, concrete and unequivocal path toward genuine democracy, and they have not yet seized that opportunity,” Obama said.

Hours before Mubarak’s speech, the military made moves that had all the markings of a coup.

The military’s Supreme Council, headed by Defense Minister Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi, announced on state TV that it was in permanent session, a status that it takes only in times of war. It said it was exploring “what measures and arrangements could be made to safeguard the nation, its achievements and the ambitions of its great

people.” That suggested Tantawi and his generals were now in charge of the country.

The statement was labeled “Communique No. 1,” language that also suggests a military coup.

But there was no immediate reaction from the military following Mubarak’s speech, and their position remained ambiguous.

Era of super-low mortgage rates appears to be over

By Michelle Conlin and Janna Herron Associated Press Writers

NEW YORK — The days of the absurdly low mortgage rate are over.

The average rate for a 30year home loan rose above 5 percent this week for the first time since last April — just as Americans are feeling more secure in their jobs and confident about the economy, and just before the big spring home-buying rush.

Freddie Mac said Thursday that the average rate was 5.05 percent, almost a full percentage point higher than in November, when it hit a 40year low.

Economic signals suggest the recovery is gaining momentum. New claims for jobless benefits came in this week at the lowest in three years, and the unemployment rate has fallen nearly a full percentage point in two months.

Americans are spending more and saving less.

The exception is the beleaguered housing market.

Record foreclosures have forced home prices down,

and last year was the worst for sales in more than a decade. About the only good news was that qualified buyers could get the deal of a lifetime from their lenders, if they had the means — and the stomach — for the market.

Now rates are rising, and analysts expect that will continue through the end of the year, to about 5.5 percent. The next few months are the busiest for the housing market — about one in three home sales happens in the spring.

“It doesn’t help,” says Greg McBride, a senior financial analyst with Bankrate.com.

“Any increase in mortgage rates takes away buying power and dilutes the incentive to refinance.”

Rates have been rising since the fall, mostly because of fears that higher inflation is coming. Investors have been demanding higher yields on Treasury bonds ever since the Federal Reserve announced its program to pump up the economy by spending $600 billion to buy government debt. Mortgage rates tend to track the yield on the 10-year Treasury note.

Ill-gotten gains Reclaiming money stolen in the Kansas Athletics ticket scam won’t come close to covering the university’s losses.

F

ederal prosecutors reportedly are eager to start recovering up to $2 million in illgotten gains in connection with the Kansas Athletics Inc. ticket scandal.

That’s nice, but even if they are able to collect the full $2 million, it won’t come close to compensating Kansas University for the damage this situation has done to its reputation.

Earlier this week, prosecutors asked the U.S. District Court in Wichita to order forfeiture of up to $2 million in money and property from three defendants who already have pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud.

The three — Charlette Blubaugh, former head of the KU ticket office; her husband, Tom Blubaugh, a former consultant to Kansas Athletics; and Rodney Jones, former assistant athletic director for the Williams Fund — all have agreed not to oppose the legal proceedings, in which a judge can order them to forfeit money generated illegally in the ticket scam.

How much money and property will be forfeited in the case isn’t certain. A fourth defendant, 28-year-old Kassie Liebsch, admitted receiving $100,000 in illegal proceeds from ticket sales but wasn’t included in the forfeiture filing perhaps because prosecutors believed the 2008 Toyota Camry she already had given up was the only asset she had worth pursuing. A fifth defendant, Ben Kirtland, former associate athletic director, also could be faced with a forfeiture request if he pleads guilty to conspiracy, as expected, later this month.

As both a legal and moral matter, it’s only right for these people to face some severe financial pain, as well as incarceration, for their involvement in the ticket scam. However, prosecutors and Kansas Athletics may or may not be able to recoup even the direct financial losses of the ticket scam.

What is certain, however, is that any amount of money that will be recovered is a drop in the bucket compared to the damage done to KU and its reputation by this situation. The $2 million may be a low estimate for the actual financial losses to Kansas Athletics, and the indirect losses — both to athletic and academic programs — may never be known. For instance, how many donations were waylaid because donors had lost confidence in how KU or Kansas Athletics would handle their funds?

Doing whatever is possible to reclaim property and money gained through the illegal ticket operation is fine, but it will never cover the damages suffered by KU in this case.

From the Lawrence Daily World for Feb. 11, 1911: “The World once more ran its paper off on its own press last night although YEARS the repairs had not been entirely perAGO fected. We want to call attention to the IN 1911 kindness of the other papers in assisting the World when it needed help. The Journal, whose presses are now taxed almost to capacity with its own affairs, cut down the size of its paper from six to four pages in order to care for a part of the press work of the World, and the Gazette took charge of the rest. It has been an accommodation that was greatly appreciated and the World will be ready to return the favor at any time that it may be necessary.”

Arizona’s immigration temper tantrum Here’s how you f ix illegal immigration.

Pass a bill that: (a) toughens border security; (b) creates some mechanism to tame the draconian process that now faces anyone who seeks to come here legally; (c) penalizes those who are here illegally but also offers them a path to full citizenship.

Or, pass a bill to protect us from anchor babies.

The former solution is not mine, though I support it. It was actually the solution offered by President Bush in 2007 and crushed in the Senate that same year. Though flawed, the bill offered at least the framework of a credible answer to the problem.

The latter solution is the one now being proffered by lawmakers in — do you really need to ask?

— Arizona. State lawmakers there began holding hearings this week on proposals to change the definition of U.S. citizenship. If they have their way, no longer would you be able to say you were an American simply because you happened to be born in America.

This is how Arizona legislators would respond to a “problem” that exists largely in their fevered imaginations: armies of pregnant Mexican women waddling across the desert to give birth to

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

State lawmakers there “began holding hearings

this week on proposals to change the definition of U.S. citizenship.”

infants who, having been born in the U.S.A., automatically enjoy the benefits of American citizenship and can confer the same upon their families.

And here, it is important to establish a few things.

The first is that even if immigrant women were coming here to give birth to so-called anchor babies — a claim Politifact.org rates dubious at best — the fact is that under existing law, such children can’t sponsor their parents for citizenship until they turn 21. Even then, the parents are required to return home for 10 years before

applying for citizenship.

The second is that what Arizona lawmakers are doing is the very definition of political masturbation. States do not define citizenship. The federal government does.

The third is that any law Arizona does pass would be unlikely to survive its first court challenge. The 14th Amendment clearly defines a citizen as person “born or naturalized” in the United States. Any attempt to tamper with that amendment should alarm all Americans but particularly African-Americans, given that it is the 14th Amendment, along with the 13th and 15th, that anchored our citizenship and provided the legal basis for Brown v. Board of Education, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

For all that, the most striking thing about the Arizona proposals — and CNN reports that 40 other states are weighing similar measures — is not their overreach but their shrill incoherence. It is worth noting that this is the 25th anniversary of an actual immigration amnesty signed into law by none other than President Ronald Reagan.

That this icon of conservatism would, like Bush, find himself so

strikingly out of step with his followers today testifies eloquently to how strident, nonsensical and unpragmatic this debate has become. Rather than offer workable solutions, lawmakers are busy outlawing ethnic studies classes, requiring Latinos to carry papers like Jews in prewar Germany, decrying anchor babies and other bogeymen, competing to prove who can be toughest on dirt poor Mexicans, rousing the rabble in their xenophobic righteousness.

This is not statesmanship. It is not serious policymaking. It is not even adult.

It is a temper tantrum, the incoherent bawling of those who see fundamental demographic change coming and like it not one bit. They scream in the face of an incoming wave. But the wave comes just the same.

And the sad thing is, none of this angst and anguish was ever necessary. We could have fixed illegal immigration long ago.

Unfortunately, that’s no longer the point. Maybe it never really was.

Not competitive

Multiculturalism doesn’t work One of liberalism’s many problems is that once an idea or program is proved wrong and unworkable, liberals rarely acknowledge their mistake and examine the root cause of their error so they don’t repeat it.

Take multiculturalism ... please!

In a speech to a security conference in Munich, British Prime Minister David Cameron declared state multiculturalism a failure. For good measure, Cameron said Britain also must get tougher on Islamic extremists. Predictably, this has angered Islamic extremists.

A genuinely liberal country, he said, “believes in certain values and actively promotes them. ...

Freedom of speech. Freedom of worship. Democracy. The rule of law, equal rights, regardless of race, sex or sexuality.”

Cameron said in Britain different cultures have been encouraged to live separate lives: “We have failed to provide a vision of society to which they feel they want to belong.” Here I would take issue with an otherwise excellent speech.

It isn’t that Britain has failed to provide such a society. Rather, many of those coming to Britain (and increasingly France, Germany and the U.S.) don’t want to become a part of those cultures, which they regard as corrupt and anti-God. Britain’s policy should be to require — yes, require — immigrants to become part of a melting pot and not individual vegetables floating around in a multicultural stew. Otherwise, they should not be admitted.

When critics of multiculturalism and unbridled immigration warned of the inevitability of a loss of nationhood and national identity, they were denounced as alarmists, even racists.

The late British parliamentarian Enoch Powell suffered such attacks (and earned many kudos) when he repeatedly warned about the dangers of open-ended immi-

“

Who will tell immigrants to America that the days of multiculturalism are over and if they want to come to America, they must do so legally and expect to become Americans with no hyphens, no allegiance to another country, and no agenda other than the improvement of the United States?” gration without assimilation. In a controversial speech to a Conservative Party conference in 1968, Powell began his address, known as “Rivers of Blood,” with what ought to be an obvious statement: “The supreme function of statesmanship is to provide against preventable evils. In seeking to do so, it encounters obstacles, which are deeply rooted in human nature.”

Powell argued that when it comes to multiculturalism and immigration, Britain had failed in that mandate. Looking into the future, Powell accurately predicted what has come to pass from mass and uncontrolled immigration: “Of course, it will not be evenly distributed from Margate to Aberystwyth and from Penzance to Aberdeen. Whole areas, towns and parts of towns across England will be occupied by sections of the immigrant and immi-

grant-descended population.”

Powell wasn’t so much railing against immigrants, though his critics read it in those terms, but against Britain’s refusal to integrate them into British culture.

And then Powell let the timid class have it with this line: “There could be no grosser misconception of the realities than is entertained by those who vociferously demand legislation as they call it ‘against discrimination’, whether they be leader-writers of the same kidney and sometimes on the same newspapers which year after year in the 1930s tried to blind this country to the rising peril which confronted it, or archbishops who live in palaces, faring delicately with the bedclothes pulled right up over their heads. They have got it exactly and diametrically wrong.”

In 1968, Britain still had time to reverse course, but because its leaders didn’t want to be called “racists” and immigrants were doing jobs British citizens were increasingly reluctant to do (sound familiar?) the floodgates were left open. It may be too late for Britain, as it may be too late for France and Germany.

It isn’t too late for the United States, though it is getting close.

Too many American leaders suffer from the same weak-kneed syndrome that has gripped Britain.

Who will tell immigrants to America that the days of multiculturalism are over and if they want to come to America, they must do so legally and expect to become Americans with no hyphens, no allegiance to another country, and no agenda other than the improvement of the United States?

Enoch Powell was right four decades ago. David Cameron is right today. If British leaders had listened to Powell then, Cameron would not have needed to make his Munich speech.

To the editor: I have been and will continue to be a strong supporter of the women’s basketball program at Kansas University. I have season tickets and have missed very few home games over the past several years.

I must say, it has become irritating to watch our women’s program struggle as soon as Big 12 Conference play begins. We do very well in non-conference; as soon as league play starts, we fall apart. I understand that the Big 12 competition is of higher quality, but this is our conference and we should be able to at least compete with the top teams. I might add, the same goes for our football program.

Coach Henrickson has been here seven years and is well compensated. It is her responsibility to recruit the quality of players necessary to compete. Our resources are equivalent to Kansas State’s, and they manage quite well.

I would suggest to our new athletic director that one of the first things he might consider is whether we are betting our money’s worth out of the women’s basketball program.

Gary Moulton, Lawrence

Unsung heroes To the editor: Recently, we were fortunate enough to be able to participate in a ride-along with the Lawrence police department. The off icers were impressively well trained, efficient, energetic and dedicated. These professional men and women put themselves in harm’s way on a daily basis and are the unsung heroes of our community.

There is no question that this is a difficult job and we would like to thank them for their service.

Dog is volunteer of month at center RAYMORE, MO. — A Chihuahua who was abandoned along a Missouri highway a year ago has become an important part of a Kansas City-area rehabilitation center.

The dog, named Skeeter, is so important at The Rehabilitation Center of Raymore that he was named the center’s March volunteer of the month.

Skeeter and his owner, Pansy Willis, visit the rehab center three or four times a week, where lonely residents snuggle and pet him.

Activities director Zeny Klafta said that residents light up when the 8-year-old dog arrives.

Klafta tells about a woman who was dying and knew it.

Then Skeeter came into the room.

“She smiled and she hadn’t smiled all that day,” Klafta said.

“She perked up when Skeeter was in there, and then she died.”

Klafta doesn’t attempt a clinical explanation. She just knows the little dog makes a big difference in the lives of people separated by miles and years from the soft touch of loved ones.

Skeeter is the first nonhuman to be named volunteer of the month at the center.

KU FOOTBALL

Head of the class

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Taylor still learning on job The shots driving basketball players take off the dribble have many names, “floaters” and “teardrops” among them. The way Tyshawn Taylor delivered them the past couple of games, bullets and fire hoses more accurately described their velocity and trajectory.

Yet, while replays of the line drives loop in our minds, the brain of the Kansas University junior guard’s coach is trained elsewhere.

“I don’t have a problem with that,” KU coach Bill Self said of Taylor’s floaters. “The thing about it is, with attacking the rim, you force help, you force the big guys to come help. So if you get it up on the rim, or up on the glass, your big guys have a free path to come rebound it.

Even though those don’t go in sometimes, they are still good shots.”

Even when the question centers on one player’s specific shot, the coach sees all 10 players on the floor as he answers it.

That’s how his brain always works.

“It’s not like you’ve got a big taking a guard shot from the perimeter and you’re taking a big off the glass,” Self said.

“We’re adding a rebounder every time Tyshawn drives it.”

Asked to rate Taylor’s play of late, Self said, “I’d say it’s been OK. I see it differently than most. I’d say it’s been better offensively than defensively.

That’s one area we’ve all got to get better in, particularly him, because he has the most to give. He could be our best defender.”

Self wants him to become a shut-down defender the way Brandon Rush and Russell Robinson were for the nationalchampionship team. So why hasn’t Taylor developed into that yet?

“Probably just concentration, as much as anything,” Self said.

NBA scouts will find Taylor’s blend of length and quickness intriguing after he has spent four years at KU tightening his skills and training his basketball brain. He knows what part of his game gives him a shot at meeting his goal of playing in the NBA. “I definitely think my defense,” Taylor said.

He knows how important it is for him to improve, he just hasn’t mastered the art of concentrating for the entire 35-second shot clock.

Taylor said he studies several point guards when he watches NBA games on television and pointed to Rajon Rondo of the Boston Celtics and Russell Westbrook of the Oklahoma City Thunder as those he watches most often.

In order to play more like Rondo, Taylor said he needs to, “become a pure point guard. I didn’t see Rondo play too much in college, but I think it was something he grew into, too. It wasn’t really his natural position. He was kind of pushed into that, and he learned as he went. It’s something I’m still learning, how to be a point guard.”

That, Taylor said, is one of the reasons he enjoys watching Westbrook, a shooting guard at UCLA. “He had to learn to play point,” Taylor said. “I think he’s one of the best point guards in the league. I love watching him.”

As for those errant floaters, a big factor in his 6-for-26 shooting the past three games, Taylor said, “I think I’m rushing them a little bit, but those are my shots, and I’ve got to keep shooting them.”

Saturday, he’ll try to keep Iowa State’s Dionte Garrett from taking too many of them.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY RUNNING-BACKS COACH REGGIE MITCHELL TALKS with coach Turner Gill, back center, and the running backs on the sideline.

Mitchell is also KU’s recruiting coordinator.

Recruiting coordinator Mitchell earns praise

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

With the letters from Kansas University’s 2011 football recruiting class signed, sealed and delivered, the attention has shifted to which schools fared the best on national signing day.

By now, it’s well known that KU secured the nation’s 34th-best recruiting class, according to

Rivals.com, which put the Jayhawks fifth in the Big 12 and ahead of traditional nonconference powers Miami, Penn State and Wisconsin, among others.

Naturally, KU coach Turner Gill received a lot of attention for landing such a strong class. But Gill was the first person to spread the praise to his coaching staff, a crew that Gill has spoken highly of since arriving at Kansas.

“I give a lot of credit to our coaching staff,” Gill said. “They did a heck of a job of going out there and getting the parents on campus. I’m very pleased with the job our staff did.”

Of all of Gill’s assistants, one seemed to play the largest role in KU’s success in the Class of 2011.

Running-backs coach Reggie Mitchell, who doubles as KU’s recruiting coordinator, was the

lead recruiter for six of KU’s 27 targets, including Blue Springs, Mo., running back Darrian Miller and East St. Louis, Ill., athlete Anthony Pierson, the two four-star prospects KU landed.

Earlier this week, Mitchell was honored by Rivals.com as one of the top-10 recruiters in the Big 12.

KU hoops coach Self harps on defense

“

Anybody scores 86 in your house, you should have one of those meetings.”

— KU’s Marcus Morris about coach Bill Self’s hourlong defense meeting

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

As happy he was with Kansas University’s offense in Monday’s 103-86 victory over Missouri, Bill Self was troubled by the defense.

So much so that KU’s eighthyear coach devoted the majority of an hourlong Wednesday team meeting to KU’s effort on the less glamorous end of the court.

“Anybody scores 86 in your house, you should have one of

those meetings. I think he’s 100 percent right. We have not been guarding,” KU junior Marcus Morris said before practice Thursday in Allen Fieldhouse.

“Myself personally, Kieff (brother Markieff ) and everybody on the team haven’t been guarding. I think it was a muchneeded meeting. We need to get better on defense ... soon.”

The subject of the team meeting shouldn’t surprise anybody who knows how much Self values defense.

Missouri’s 86 points tied for third-most scored against a Selfcoached team in Allen. Baylor scored 90 in a 100-90 loss to KU on Feb. 9, 2008; Iowa State scored 89 in KU’s 90-89 overtime victory on Feb. 21, 2004. Texas hit for 86 in the Jayhawks’ 90-86 victory on March 3, 2007.

“Defense is always the first thing he always talks about, so it was definitely defense,” Markieff Morris said of the primary subject of the meeting.

“He said we need to work on

getting multiple stops in a row.

When we’re down five with three minutes left, we need to know how to just buckle down and get stops.”

Self said he felt the Jayhawks, who take a 23-1, 8-1 record into Saturday’s 3 p.m. home game against Iowa State (14-10, 1-8), act as if they simply believe they can outscore foes.

“I think there’s way too much of that. We talked about that for Please see SELBY, page 3B

Four Free State football players plan to be teammates at Baker

By Ben Ward Journal-World Sports Writer

FREE STATE HIGH FOOTBALL TEAMMATES, from left, Preston Schenck, Dylan Perry, Justin McCandless and Cale Nieder are going to play together next season at Baker University.

The four Free State High standouts go back a long way — long enough to recount playing football together in three different uniforms, and certainly long enough for their parents to document it all in scrap books and photo albums.

Cale Nieder and Justin McCandless, the two linemen of the bunch, met first as fifth-

grade teammates on the Lawrence Hurricanes.

Dylan Perry, who played against them for one year as a member of the Lawrence Cougars, joined them a year later on the Hurricanes.

Preston Schenck didn’t show up until ninth grade, when he and his family moved to town from South Carolina. By then, McCandless, Nieder and Perry were close friends playing for Southwest Junior High, but it

didn’t take long for Schenck to prove his worth.

In his first game as a Bulldog, Schenck — then sporting a scraggly head of hair (“He looked like a California surfer,” McCandless joked) — fielded the opening kickoff and zipped through defenders for a lengthy touchdown.

“We were all just kind of like, who is this kid,” McCandless said.

Surprise! Sloan resigns as Jazz coach SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — After 23 seasons, Hall of Fame coach Jerry Sloan had only one bit of advice for successor Ty Corbin.

“Be yourself,” Sloan said Thursday after announcing he was stepping down after 1,127 victories with the Jazz because he didn’t have the energy any more.

Corbin, a former Jazz player, already began meeting with players

and will coach his first game tonight against the Phoenix Suns.

Around the league, the shock remained.

“I’m too shocked to have a Sloan reaction,” Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers said. “It

caught us all off guard. ... He’s been there like this rock, and all of a sudden the rock is gone. It’s like your franchise moved or something. I don’t know. It’s just strange.”

Sloan was the longest-tenured coach in any of the four major sports. His resignation came just two weeks after the secondlongest tenured professional coach, Jeff Fisher, parted ways

with the Tennessee Titans after a 6-10 season.

“I had a feeling this time was the time to move on,” an emotional Sloan said during a Thursday afternoon news conference. “(That’s) a long time to be in one organization.

Again, I’ve been blessed. Today is a new day. When I get this over with, I’ll feel better. My time is up and it’s time to move on.”

Longhorns could be what Baylor needs

Points, Marino lead; Woodland lurks at Pebble PEBBLE BEACH, CALIF. — D.A. Points knew it was going to be a great week at the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am when he found out Bill Murray was his amateur partner.

It got even better Thursday.

Points found Murray’s antics to be more amusing than annoying, and it showed in his play. With eight birdies on the Shore Course at Monterey Peninsula, he opened with a 7-under 63 and shared the lead with Steve Marino.

Some might think he shot a 63 despite having Murray in his ear all day. Points says he shot 63 because of him.

“I know people talk about his antics, or he’s a showman while he’s out there, making lots of comments and talking while people are getting ready to hit shots,” Points said. “To be honest, it really loosens me up and makes me between shots not be grinding so hard on what I’m doing. It helps me take a little bit of a breather between shots and joke around with him.”

There was plenty to enjoy for most everyone on a glorious day on the peninsula, with only a mild breeze to accompany views that were as spectacular as Woodland ever. Beyond the weather, the conditions on three courses were as good as they have ever been. The fairways were particularly firm on the Shore Course, and the greens were fast everywhere.

The best shot of the day belonged to Alex Cejka, who was one shot behind after a 64 on the Shore Course. He started his day by holing out a 3-wood from the fairway on the par-5 10th. The PGA Tour checked its records as far back as 1982 and could not find another player who had started a round with an albatross.

The group at 5 under included former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland, whose 67 was the best score at Pebble Beach.

Missouri coach Mike Anderson summed up the maelstrom in the middle of the Big 12 men’s basketball standings quite nicely.

“It’s all pretty much mumbo-jumbo right now,” he said.

Thanks, Mike. Couldn’t have said it better. I’m still seized by a brain freeze after two days-plus in Oklahoma, where the wind came sweeping off the plains with a minus-24-degree whistle early Wednesday.

Am I looking forward to a 70-degree weekend in Austin? What do you think?

But I digress, a common tendency.

Back to the separation-month business at hand.

We began the week in the Big 12 with eight teams separated by no more than one game in the loss column. That number shrank to six Wednesday night. We could either see some distance by Saturday night or a re-jumbo as it were.

In the race for third place behind Texas and Kansas, one team has created a little daylight for itself. After dropping a third consecutive conference road game at Oklahoma last week, Baylor rebounded to snatch an overtime victory at Texas A&M and then held off Nebraska at home.

Baylor coach Scott Drew, who sometimes will talk around a point if given an opening, had to admit Thursday that his team showed him something in the two games since the loss to the Sooners.

“We’re definitely playing better basketball,” he said. “We’re getting used to playing with each other and getting used to operating in close games down the stretch.

“Early in the year, we lost those games.

We finally have some experience and some success, and things are different.”

The stretch drive for Baylor (16-7, 6-4) has at least a couple of burnt orange speed bumps. The Bears are the last South team to play Texas. The first of those two games is Saturday afternoon in Austin (sunscreen, please?). The other is the regular-season finale.

The fact Baylor that has won four consecutive games against the Longhorns has nothing to do with anything. Another place, another time.

But the Bears very much need a signature victory to get the attention of the NCAA Tournament selection committee.

Baylor missed opportunities in November when it lost games in Hawaii against Gonzaga, Washington State and Florida State.

The footnote was that the Bears were playing with only one point guard — sophomore A.J. Walton — after backup Stargell Love suffered a stress fracture in a foot that cost him six weeks. That forced Drew to either play with a tired point guard or no real point guard at all. Ask Texas coach Rick Barnes how that worked out for him the past two seasons.

But Walton, whose primary task last season was to give Tweety Carter a breather, has since taken some steps. His late steal seized the OT win at A&M, and he took over the lead in conference-game steals (22) with four Wednesday.

“I think we’ve gotten better at keeping our heads in close games,” Walton said. “Every game except for Kansas, we’ve been in it down the stretch. There are some games we wish we could take back and (the 73-66 loss to OU), that’s the game right there.

“But I think we’ve grown. I think our heads are on straight for the long run.”

The four conference games between the Texas sandwich (Tech, at Missouri, A&M and at Oklahoma State), however, might be more important.

“All coaches in the Big 12 understand you can win three or drop three as quick as the drop of a hat,” Drew said. “Every Big 12 game is important. But especially for us, this is an important February.”

GOLF McIlroy’s 65 leads in Dubai DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES — Rory McIlroy upstaged the world’s top three golfers with a 7-under 65 Thursday to take the firstround lead at the Dubai Desert Classic, four shots better than No. 1 Lee Westwood and Martin Kaymer and six ahead of an inconsistent Tiger Woods.

McIlroy, whose only European Tour win came in Dubai two years ago, had eight birdies to go with one bogey at the Emirates Golf Club. The seventh-ranked McIlroy took the early lead and held it. Sergio Garcia (67) and Thomas Aiken (67) trailed by two shots in windy conditions.

BASEBALL Rangers give Hamilton $24M ARLINGTON, TEXAS — Josh Hamilton walked through a gutted-out room under construction near the Texas Rangers clubhouse. The AL MVP had just agreed to a $24 million, twoyear contract.

“I was sweeping places out like this seven years ago or whatever,” he said. “This goes for anybody. It’s awesome to think about what God can do in your life if you allow him to. ...

It’s just amazing.”

NFL Some fans get Super choices NEW YORK — The NFL says about 2,000 fans forced to sit in temporary seats at the Super Bowl will receive a face-value ticket refund or a free ticket to a future Super Bowl.

This is the latest plan to appease fans significantly delayed in gaining pre-game access to their seats because of unsafe conditions for temporary seats at Cowboys Stadium.

The plan, released Thursday, is separate from the one announced Tuesday by Commissioner Roger Goodell for the 400 fans who were denied seats. Those fans were taken to standing-roomonly areas or spots without a view of the field.

The 400 displaced fans have been offered a choice of a $2,400 payment and free ticket to next year’s Super Bowl, or a free ticket to any Super Bowl, plus round-trip airfare and hotel accommodations.

That decision came Thursday from the Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission, which runs the longtime Minneapolis home of the Minnesota Vikings. The vote came after engineers recommended replacement instead of repairs.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL Wishbone architect dies at 83 DALLAS — Emory Bellard, a former Texas A&M and Mississippi State coach credited with developing the wishbone offense when he was an assistant at Texas, died Thursday.

He was 83.

Cathy Capps, director of the Texas A&M Lettermen’s Association, said Bellard died at a care facility in Georgetown in Central Texas.

She said Bellard had Lou Gehrig’s disease.

Bellard was on Darrell Royal’s staff at Texas in 1968 when the Longhorns developed a formation with three running backs that came to be known as the wishbone.

COLLEGE SOFTBALL

KU happy to have Kocon back

By Ben Ward Journal-World Sports Writer

When Kansas University third-year junior Liz Kocon made a healthy return to the f ield this past fall, it was something of a revelation for her teammate, Maggie Hull.

As Hull tells it, Kocon — who was one of the KU softball team’s best hitters as a sophomore in 2009, but suffered a season-ending injury only five games into the 2010 season — seemed to hit at least one home run per day in fall ball.

With Kocon out of the lineup, the young Jayhawks struggled to a 21-35 (2-16 Big 12) finish last year, but there was plenty of promise at Arrocha Ballpark in the form of a stellar freshman class.

Twins Maggie and Rosie Hull, Mariah Montgomery and Alex Jones started all but a handful of games as freshmen and emerged as the top four hitters in the KU lineup.

“It was a horrible thing to lose Liz last year,” second-year coach Megan Smith said at media day on Wednesday. “But

her offense and was similarly optimistic about how her pitchers will improve from the circle, despite graduating Sarah Vertelka.

Clark (also one of KU’s better power hitters) was the Jayhawks’ top arm last year and led the team with eight wins, 72 strikeouts, and 145 innings pitched despite making only eight appearances — and none in Big 12 play — in 2009.

Jones can hit, too, but her numbers from the circle, where she went 7-10 with a 3.78 ERA as a freshman, are ones Smith only sees improving. Smith also expects to rely heavily upon freshman Kristen Martinez and junior transfer Ashley Spencer.

“That f irst weekend is going to be really critical for us in terms of seeing what they can do in game situations,” Smith said.

That, and a sunny reprieve from all of the snow and ice isn’t a bad way to spend a weekend.

“At this point, we’re done with practicing inside,” Smith said. “We’re ready to get out and compete.”

Mitchell praised for recruiting CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

KU’s staff on the list, and the website touted his reputation and ability to steer the two big targets to Kansas.

This is not the first time Mitchell received such an honor. In 2006, Rivals.com tapped him as one of the 20 best recruiters in the nation.

A year later, he was named to Rivals’ list of the top five recruiters in the Big Ten. What’s more, Illinois’ recruiting classes ranked in the top 35 nationally during three of Mitchell’s five seasons as the Illini’s recruiting coordinator. That includes 2007, when UI’s class ranked

20th and included two fivestar players and five fourstar guys. A year later, the Illini ranked 23rd in the country, with six four-star prospects.

Mitchell surfaced in the Big Ten after spending nine seasons (1988-96) at KU with former Jayhawk coach Glen Mason. From there, he spent two years at Minnesota (199798), six years at Michigan State (1999-2004) and five at Illinois (2005-09).

It was there that the Flint, Mich., native established himself as one of the top recruiters in the country, bringing to Michigan State such big-name prospects as

wide receiver Charles Rogers, the former No. 2 overall pick of the Detroit Lions, running back T.J. Duckett, who also was a first-round draft pick, and former all-pro wide receiver Plaxico Burress.

At Illinois, Mitchell helped land running back Rashard Mendenhall, the current Pittsburgh Steelers starter, who, in 2007, set Illinois school records for rushing yards and touchdowns on his way to becoming a first-round pick.

Those players, among many others, enjoy relationships with Mitchell to this day and have had nothing but good things to say about how

valuable he was to their programs and careers.

“He is a great recruiter and a great coach because he just relates better than m o s t c o a c h e s ,” D u c ke t t said. “I always felt I could go and talk to him, and he really was a role model for me and the other players. The one thing I always knew is that I could lean on coach Mitchell for information and advice.”

Added Rogers: “Reggie is the type of coach you know will always be in your life. He recruited me to Michigan State and is one of the main reasons I feel East Lansing, Mich., is my second home.”

an hour yesterday,” Self said.

“That was definitely one of the topics. In a game where you’re not making shots, or a game where you’re playing out of foul trouble, can you get four or five stops in a row in the really clutch part of the game? I don’t think that this team does that near consistently enough.”

He repeated one of his main coaching philosophies.

“This is cliché talk, and I know it’s coach speak, but defense does win championships,” Self said. “If you look across the board, there will be a time in every competitive sporting contest, if you have great defense going against great offense, the majority of the time, great defense wins.

“Great pitching against great hitting. It doesn’t make any difference. When great is going against great, defense usually wins, so we need to get better at that,” Self added.

It’s all about a proper mindset, Self said.

“As a defensive team, we have to assume we are going to shut them out because we don’t know what we’re going to get on the other end,” Self said. “That puts a lot of pressure on your team that way defensively.

“Our next step is we have got to play defense like we’re not making shots. We’ve got to keep moving the ball and sharing the ball offensively.”

INJURED KANSAS GUARD JOSH SELBY REVS UP the crowd after a dunk by teammate Thomas Robinson during the second half against Missouri on Monday at Allen Fieldhouse.

pleased with KU’s bench of late. Non-starters Mario Little, Travis Releford and Thomas Robinson combined for 36 points and 10 rebounds against Missouri.

“It’s amazing to me when you make shots, there’s an automatic confidence/adrenaline rush that you get. And certainly those guys are experiencing that right now,” Self said. “The one guy off the bench, to me, that isn’t experiencing that is Elijah (Johnson, no points, two turnovers, four minutes vs. Mizzou). ● He’s the one guy that I feel like Bench work: Self has been can give us more from an

aggressive standpoint than he’s giving us right now. The other guys are aggressive, in large part, because they’re confident. It helps when you see the ball go in the hole.” ●

Selby practices: KU freshman Josh Selby, who has missed the last two games because of a stress reaction in his right foot, practiced Thursday. Self said he was unsure of Selby’s status for Saturday’s Iowa State game.

“It (foot) is not 100 percent totally comfortable, but it’s to the point, with the new orthotic that he’s received,

that we’re going to let him go,” Self said of practicing.

As to how Selby was playing before the injury, Self said: “He was certainly doing more with the ball. Since the Texas game, I thought he had been really aggressive and driving to force help and doing some things that were really positive for us. I thought he was really playing the best he’s played since he’s been here, the way that we’d like to play, in the three games prior to him sitting out.”

Tonganoxie sweeps Turner

By Benton Smith basmith@theworldco.info

KANSAS CITY, KAN. — When the inside-out combo of Dane Erickson and Jeremy Carlisle was on the floor Thursday for the Tonganoxie High boys basketball team, there wasn’t much Kansas City Turner could do to stop the duo.

After some first-half foul troubles for the Chieftains’ one-two punch led to a halftime tie, the two returned ready to control the game in the second half, and Tonganoxie won, 74-60.

After picking up his second foul late in the first quarter, Carlisle sat the final 10:49 of the first half. When Erickson joined him on the bench with just three minutes to go in the second quarter, the Golden Bears went on a 13-2 run to close the half.

Sa i d C h i e f t a i n s c o a c h Shawn Phillips: “It’s difficult when you lose two guys that are a big part of what you’ve been doing all year long.”

However, in the third quarter, with both players back on the court for Tonganoxie (7-8 overall, 2-7 Kaw Valley League), the road team went on a 17-0 run in just less than five minutes, with Erickson scoring 13 points.

Erickson finished with a game- and season-high of 33 points to go with eight rebounds. Carlisle, a senior point guard, had a 13-point quarter of his own in the fourth and finished with 18 points and four assists.

“When we had those two back,” Phillips said, “(Turner) didn’t really have an answer for either one of them.”

With Carlisle absent most of the first half, others picked up his scoring. Senior Austin Vickers put up five points in the first quarter, both Dylan Scates and John Lean knocked down three-pointers in the second, and Brennen Williams drove in for a scoop

off the glass late in the first half at Turner (1-15, 1-8).

“We had guys step up and play when we lost Carlisle,” Phillips said.

At 7:30 p.m. today, the Chieftains will play at K.C. Bishop Ward.

Tonganoxie 18 15 20 21 — 74 Turner 12 21 6 21 — 60 Tonganoxie — Dane Erickson 14-16 5-7 33, Dylan Scates 2-6 0-0 5, Colby Yates 1-1 3-5 5, Jeremy Carlisle 5-7 7-9 18, Dylan Jacobs 1-5 1-2 3, Austin Vickers 2-3 0-1 5, Brennen Williams 1-7 00 2, Ben Williams 0-0 0-1 0, John Lean 1-1 0-0 3.

Tonganoxie girls 49, K.C. Turner 19 K ANSAS C ITY , K AN . — Tonganoxie High put a stop to nearly everything Turner’s offense had to offer in the first half.

The Chieftains allowed just two points in the first 12:35 of play and went on to an easy victory.

Although the Golden Bears (1-14 overall, 0-9 Kaw Valley League) scored in the second minute of the game, Tonganoxie shut out the home team from that point until the 3:25 mark of the second quarter, which translated to a 19-0 run.

Eleven of those points came in the final six minutes of the first quarter — Madee Walker scored five, Jenny Whitledge had three, Haley Smith hit a runner in transition, and Emma Stilgenbuaer made a free throw.

The next eight came in the second quarter, when Amanda Holroyd hit a baseline jumper, Smith spotted up for a long two, Stilgenbauer knocked down two free throws, and Hannah Kemp and Whitledge both made one at the foul line.

Whitledge — who led the team with nine rebounds, — injured her left ankle with 2:31 to play in the third quarter.

Her availability for Tonganoxie’s 6 p.m. game today at K.C. Bishop Ward was not known.

Tonganoxie 13 14 14 8 — 49 Turner 2 6 7 4 — 19 Tonganoxie — Amanda Holroyd 1-7 0-3 2, Danielle Miller 0-4 0-0 0, Jenny Whitledge 3-6 2-4 8, Tavia Brown 0-6 5-6 5, Hannah Kemp 1-4 2-4 4, Emma Stilgenbauer 1-6 4-8 6, Tayler Miles 2-2 0-0 4, Haley Smith 4-7 2-3 12, Madee Walker 3-5 1-2 8.

Firebirds to play together at Baker CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

The four, each two-way starters for the Firebirds during their senior season, may have been playing together since they were little guys in big helmets, but they haven’t tired of each other yet.

Just the opposite, in fact, as all four of them signed national letters of intent to play football at Baker University last Wednesday.

“It’s football, and these guys,” Nieder said, “they just go together. I don’t know if we could have it another way.”

That almost wasn’t the case, though, as each player was very much on his own during the beginning stages of recruitment.

The process was fun initially, be it all the attention and phone calls from inquiring coaches to leaving school early to go on visits.

But as the barrage of questions regarding their decisions increased, the luster quickly wore off.

At one point, Perry debated whether he even wanted to keep playing.

Schenck, too, described many sleepless nights when he stared at the ceiling pondering his options.

Then, suddenly, things quickly started falling into place.

Perry ultimately chose to play and was sold after an official visit to Baker. McCandless and Schenck visited together a week later and were equally enamored.

Nieder knew Baker was a good fit as early as last summer, when he attended a few camps, but the two sides had since fallen out of contact.

So when Nieder got a surprise phone call, he was in, too, and suddenly the four Firebirds had four offers to be Wildcats next year.

“It was a chance you really can’t turn down,” Perry said.

The next level Decision made, papers signed, they can now relax and enjoy the remainder of their senior years at FSHS before heading to Baker, where they’re planning on sharing a four-person suite at one of the on-campus dorms.

“They’ll probably pick on me,” Schenck said. “And I’ll clean everything. I’ll be like Mr. Mom.” McCandless, an All-Sunflower League f irst-team selection at right guard, will remain on the offensive line, where he’s played since he first donned a pair of shoulder pads.

Nieder, too, plans to stay at center, also where he’s played since a youth coach discovered his knack for snapping.

But the trim Nieder said he plans on gaining 30-40 pounds to fill the role.

“He’ll have a neck like Brian Urlacher,” McCandless joked.

Schenck, who racked up 11 all-purpose TDs during his senior year, will either remain at running back or move to safety, a position he has some familiarity with.

Perry, on the other hand, is moving from quarterback (where he was also an AllSunflower League first-teamer) to receiver, where he hopes that his quickness and vision in the open field — as evidenced by his 22 total touchdowns last year — will translate well.

Positions aside, the boys are excited for four more years on the field together, though things will be a bit different once they arrive on campus.

“I think it’s going to be funny, us being the little guys again,” Nieder said.

Testily, K-State coach says Kelly will play MANHATTAN (AP) — Kansas State forward Curtis Kelly will play Saturday at Colorado, and that was about all coach Frank Martin would say about the senior on Thursday.

In a tense back-and-forth with reporters, Martin declined to discuss any other details regarding the 6-foor-6

Kelly, who averages 9.9 points and 4.9 rebounds.

The Kansas City Star and the Topeka Capital-Journal, citing unidentified sources, reported this week Kelly had been accused of violating an unspecified department policy and could be subject to dismissal from the team, pending an appeal.

When asked to clarify Kelly’s situation, Martin said, “What situation?”

Asked if he would play Saturday, the coach said, “Have I said something differently? I love great questions.”

Asked again for clarification, Martin said, “Ask your source. Whoever reported it, ask their source. Don’t ask me.

If you ask me a question, I answer your question. For four years I’ve answered every question. I was asked two minutes ago if Curt was at practice. What did I answer?

Then I was asked is he playing Saturday. What’d I answer?

Yes. Right?

“So I thought I dealt with it.

Now go ask the source that

reported to you fine people whatever they said.”

At that point, Martin was asked if Kelly had appeared before a university body Thursday in regard to some policy violation.

“Not that I know of,” he said. “Why? Were you at one?

Ask your source.

“I’m telling you. He’s on my

team, and he’s playing Saturday. I wasn’t at any appeals thing. So ask your source.”

Kelly, picked for the preseason All-Big 12 first team, graduated last summer with a degree in social science. He was suspended for six games earlier this season for receiving inappropriate discounts at a Manhattan clothing store.

IN THIS FILE PHOTO FROM JAN. 26, Oklahoma State forward Darrell Williams look for a open teammate in the Cowboys’ game against Texas in Stillwater, Okla. Williams has been charged with a felony count of sexual battery and three felony counts of rape by instrumentation.

Cowboys prepare for first game without Williams S T I L L W A T E R , O K L A . ( AP ) — When Darrell Williams went before a judge to face four felony charges, a handful of his teammates joined him at the courthouse as a show of support.

Now, they’ll have to move on without him.

The Cowboys (16-7, 4-5 Big 12) have spent the week preparing to be without Williams, a junior-college transfer who had developed into a regular in the starting lineup. He’s suspended indefinitely after being charged this week, and Oklahoma State will play for the first time without him Saturday at Nebraska (15-8, 3-6).

“Darrell knows we’re going to have his back through this whole thing,” guard Keiton Page said Thursday. “It’s going to hurt us without Darrell on the court. We’re going to have to stick together and build around that, and other players are going to have to step up and make big plays for us.”

Page said Williams’ suspension hasn’t been a distraction to this point, and the Cowboys must continue to stay focused on basketball.

Williams was averaging 7.1 points and 7.3 rebounds in his first season at Oklahoma State and had started the last five games. He had points and 12 rebounds in the Cowboys’ 8175 win against Oklahoma on Saturday, and was named the Big 12’s rookie of the week.

Coach Travis Ford said he didn’t know whether Williams would be able to play for the Cowboys again this season.

Williams’ next court hearing on three counts of rape by instrumentation and one

count of sexual assault is March 7, just after the end of the regular season and before the Big 12 tournament.

“It’s hard to say. I doubt it,” Ford said. “Who knows? I don’t know when everything is going to happen. This whole thing ... I don’t know what’s going to happen next, so it’s hard to comment on that.”

Matt Pilgrim, who started the 11 games that Williams didn’t, f igures to get the biggest bump in playing time but Ford says he doesn’t want to “put too much pressure on Matt.” Roger Franklin could also get additional time at power forward, and seldomused Jarred Shaw could get into the rotation more.

“It hurts losing Darrell,” Page said. “You’ve seen what he’s been doing the last couple games. He’s been playing his best basketball.”

The loss of Williams adds some extra adversity as the Cowboys try to turn around their season late for the third straight year. They were able to make the NCAA tournament two years ago despite a 36 start in Big 12 play, then overcame a 4-5 start last season.

Oklahoma State was just 25 in the conference before back-to-back wins against Missouri and Oklahoma, but still hasn’t won on the road in the Big 12.

“It don’t matter how you start. It matters how you finish, so I think we’re going to finish strong,” Shaw said.

“We’ve finished strong in past years. This is nothing new to us or our coaching staff. They know what they’re doing, so they’re getting us ready to be successful.”

St. John’s 89, No. 10 Connecticut 72 NEW YORK — Dwight Hardy scored a career-high 33 points, and St. John’s took command in the second half in a victory over Connecticut on Thursday night, the Red Storm’s fourth win over a top13 team this season at Madison Square Garden.

Hardy was coming off a 32point effort in a loss to UCLA on Saturday.

D.J. Kennedy matched his season high with 20 points and had 11 rebounds for St. John’s (14-9, 6-5 Big East), which added Connecticut to a list that includes then-No. 13 Georgetown, then-No. 9 Notre Dame and then-No. 3 Duke, all of whom are currently in the top 10. The Red Storm are 6-1 at the Garden, their second home court.

TV deal allows staggered starts in tournament NEW YORK (AP) — The NCAA Tournament’s new TV deal will allow for more staggered starts of games, so all those buzzer-beaters aren’t happening at the same time.

The contract signed in April with CBS and Turner Sports meant all games would be televised live nationally for the first time. Because Turner’s three cable channels don’t have the same commitments to the nightly news and other regular programming as CBS, the tournament games will be more spread out starting this season.

That includes prime time games on TBS, TNT and truTV during the first Sunday, the networks announced Thursday.

Last season, when only CBS broadcast games, the first three contests on the opening Thursday afternoon started within 10 minutes of each other. Even for fans who had access to all the games through the free stream on the Internet or by buying the TV package, that often meant multiple matchups going down to the wire at the same time.

“That wasn’t good enough,” said Turner Sports senior vice president Christina Miller.

“What was going to be good enough was if we stagger it and let people catch each game or at least capture the big moments at the end of everything.”

Now those games will start at least 30 minutes apart.

The new way of watching March Madness was made possible when CBS and Turner signed a 14-year, $10.8 billion deal, with the NCAA deciding to expand from 65 only to 68 teams, not 96. The contract kept the regional finals and Final Four on CBS through 2015. The regional semif inals will be split between CBS and TBS this season.

Arkansas, LSU teams delayed by storm F A Y E T T E V I L L E , A RK . ( AP ) — Winter weather across the South kept a pair of Southeastern Conference basketball teams on the road longer than planned Thursday.

Both Arkansas and LSU stayed in Mississippi following games Wednesday night.

The Razorbacks, who lost, 6756, to Mississippi State, made the decision to stay an extra night before the game against the Bulldogs because of

heavy snow in Arkansas and expected snow in Starkville.

The National Weather Service reported 18 inches fell in Fayetteville, which Arkansas coach John Pelphrey said was a factor in the decision. He also said low visibility was a problem in Columbus, Miss., where the Razorbacks were scheduled to fly out of.

Arkansas (14-9, 4-6 SEC) boarded a flight around 1 p.m.

Thursday and returned home.

The Tigers (10-14, 2-7) also faced difficulty due to the weather in Oxford. The charter plane that was supposed to take them home following the game was stuck in Baton Rouge on Wednesday evening and could not get to northern Mississippi, either Oxford or Tupelo, to pick them up.

After staying overnight in Oxford, the team drove to Memphis on Thursday morning to meet the plane.

The Huskies (18-4, 6-5) had trouble all game with St. John’s matchup zone, which trapped ballhandlers repeatedly. They rarely attacked the basket, passing the ball around the perimeter usually settling for a rushed jumper.

The Red Storm closed the f irst half with two threepointers by Hardy and Malik Boothe, the second a 35-footer banker from straight on as the buzzer sounded for a 35-31 lead.

Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun walked on to the court complaining that Boothe walked before he shot. Calhoun was called for a technical foul — his first of the season — so St. John’s started the second half with two free throws by Hardy, and Kennedy scored on a layup on the ensuing possession.

Dwayne Polee II and Kennedy scored around four

missed shots by the Huskies and the Red Storm had a 43-31 lead two minutes into the half.

Roscoe Smith had 16 points to lead Connecticut, which shot 36.9 percent from the f ield (24 of 65) but more importantly allowed the Red Storm to shoot 48.4 percent (30 of 62), well above the conference-leading 38. 3 it entered the game with.

Inviting all of family to wedding up to who’s paying Annie’s Mailbox

Dear Annie: “Sweet Sue” said she was involved with a married man. It isn’t only young people who have this problem. I met a 71-year-old married man at a senior center. He was supposedly in the process of getting a divorce.

We hit it off right away and got along so well that I moved him into my home because he told me he couldn’t stand staying with his wife one moment longer. He said he loved me anniesmailbox@creators.com and wanted to be with me forcausing a g reat deal of ever.

He stayed one month, then unhappiness, and I don’t know how to keep the peace slept with his wife, packed his for everyone. Please help settle this. — Distraught Mother

Dear Distraught: Who is paying for the wedding? If it is your daughter and her fiance, they get to determine how many guests. They can, however, give you a specific number of invitations, allowing you to make the necessary decisions about your relatives. We agree that, barring a feud, she should invite both her g reat-aunt and great-uncle, but the bride’s mother’s first cousins are a different story. If she is close to only one, she does not need to invite the others. If you want them to attend the festivities, perhaps you could offer to pay the excess costs involved.

VH1 crowns an unlikely king of rock A portrait of an unrelenting rocker at 65, the documentary “Lemmy” (10:30 p.m., VH1, VH1 Classic and Palladia) reaches levels of poignance and even pathos. And it has some “Spinal Tap” moments of comedy as well.

Never married and rather proud of avoiding domesticity, Motorhead’s Lemmy Kilmister lives in a rent-controlled apartment near the Sunset Strip surrounded, if not entombed, by a lifetime of collectibles and trash. He spends hours at a stretch playing a trivia video game at the rock-and-roll bar while milking Jack Daniels and Cokes. A gruff-looking troll of a man with a gravelly delivery and a nearly incomprehensible Welsh accent, Lemmy maintains an unchanging style that is a grab-bag blend of greaser, biker, cowboy and showman. His influences are as disparate and deep as those of rock ’n’ roll.

He has inspired generations of musicians and many are on hand here to sing his praises and jam with the godfather, if not the inventor, of heavy metal and thrash metal.

The film is crowded with interviews with musicians James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Joan Jett, Alice Cooper, Ozzy Osborne, Slash, The Clash’s Mick Jones, Joy Division/New Order’s Peter Hook, IceT, David Navarro, Pulp’s Jarvis Cocker, as well as actor/musician Billy Bob Thornton and professional wrestler Triple H. All contend that he’s not only a musical inspiration but a living embodiment of the rock-’n’-roll lifestyle.

For his part, Lemmy does not like to celebrate choices that took the lives of so many of his friends, including Jimi Hendrix, who was Lemmy’s boss back when he was a roadie for the Jimi Hendrix Experience. A veteran of several hard rock and psychedelic bands, who knew the Beatles and saw them play at the Cavern Club, Lemmy never succumbed to the glitz and glamour that made so many of his contemporaries so respectable.

He’ll never be knighted like Mick Jagger or Sir Paul, but he’s already got a title. “(Blank) Elvis and Keith Richards,” says the Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl. “Lemmy’s the king of rock and roll.”

Tonight’s other highlights ● Nick and Pete take the case of a man who claims to have been set up while on spring break on “The Defenders” (7 p.m., CBS). ● Tim McGraw searches his roots on “Who Do You Think You Are” (7 p.m., NBC). ● The Peanuts gang gets as romantic as their characters allow in back-to-back specials “Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown” (7 p.m., ABC) and “A Charlie Brown Valentine” (7:30 p.m.). ● Ramsay revisits some previous disaster areas on “Kitchen Nightmares” (7 p.m., Fox). ● A hitman projects a certain sense of savoir-faire on “CSI:NY” (8 p.m., CBS). ● Broyles’ absence is felt on “Fringe” (8 p.m., Fox). ● Scheduled on “20/20” (8 p.m., ABC): a family’s nine-day ordeal. ● Everything that can break, does on “Gold Rush: Alaska” (9 p.m., Discovery). ● The FactZone celebrates itself on “Onion News Network” (9 p.m., IFC).

Dear Annie: I have some concerns about the guest list for my daughter’s upcoming nuptials. She has always been budget conscious, and I appreciate her attempts to keep the guest list to a minimum, but it’s created a problem.

She and her fiance initially decided to limit the guests to those 18 and older. Unfortunately, this would have excluded her first cousins, plus some of her fiance’s close family. I suggested setting the age at 12 and above, thinking this would appease all family members and we wouldn’t have to worry about little ones disrupting the ceremony or distracting their parents.

However, this resulted in a sizable disagreement, and she now has decided to include all children.

I would like to share this wonderful event with my extended family and included my aunts, uncles and first cousins on my portion of the guest list. My daughter revised the list to exclude my uncle and most of my cousins.

She says she is close to only one of my cousins and eliminated the rest. I explained that it is inappropriate to include one cousin and not the others, just as it is wrong to invite my father’s sister, but not his brother.

These disagreements are

Lakers 92, Celtics 86 BOSTON — Kobe Bryant took no special pleasure in spoiling Ray Allen’s record-setting night.

Still, the Los Angeles Lakers sure enjoy ruining a Celtics celebration.

“It’s always fun to beat Boston,” center Andrew Bynum said.

Bryant scored 20 of his 23 points in the second half, leading the Lakers to victory in an NBA finals rematch on Thursday night.

Allen became the NBA’s career leader in three-pointers in the first quarter, but Bryant later put him on the bench in foul trouble during his big second half that rallied Los Angeles from an early 15point deficit.

Pau Gasol added 20 points and 10 rebounds for the Lakers, who split the regularseason series with their biggest rivals and got a sorely needed victory against one of the league’s top teams.

Bynum, the subject of trade rumors in the never-ending Carmelo Anthony saga, finished with 16 points and nine rebounds.

As Bryant exited the locker room, a security guard told the All-Star guard he would see him in June.
