‘It’s obvious that we made the right call’

KANSAS UNIVERSITY

DEERFIELD SCHOOL EMPLOYEES APPLAUD Tuesday as Anne Tormohlen, center, the school’s library media specialist, is named as the winner of the 2010-11 Lawrence Elementary Teacher of the Year award.

Elementary Teacher of the Year named

By Mark Fagan mfagan@ljworld.com

Anne Tormohlen embraces having “the best job in the building” at Deerfield School.

“I get to work with everybody,” the school’s library media specialist said. “I do. I know all 528 kids. I’ve known most of them since kindergarten, and it’s fun. That’s the best part.”

On Tuesday, Tormohlen learned she also is among the best educators in the Lawrence school district, as winner of the 2010-11 Lawrence Elementary Teacher of the Year award.

The honor arrived after school, when a crowd of administrators, friends, colleagues and others filed into a staff meeting to see her smile, deflect praise and collect a $1,000 check from program sponsor KU

“

She is not the only backbone of support for our children and their literary needs, but shows true compassion for each individual child.”

— Anne Tormohlen’s colleagues in the nomination letter Credit Union. Soon, someone will take her photo, for display at district headquarters.

“I’m mortified by that,” she said, mortified by the idea that her mortification would be shared in the newspaper.

Tormohlen is in her 20th ye a r a t t h e s c h o o l , 10 1 Lawrence Ave., where she’s been library specialist for the pa s t n i n e ye a rs a n d h a s taught fifth and sixth grades during the previous 11. Before that, she’d taught for three years at the former Riverside

School.

Deerf ield teachers and staffers nominated Tormohlen for the honor, citing her use of “standards-based” lessons that allow for “perfect” transitions into future classroom work, providing an appropriate and welcome lightening of teachers’ collective classroom loads.

“She is not the only backbone of support for our children and their literary needs, but shows true compassion for each individual child,” her col-

leagues said, in their nomination letter. “We pride ourselves on reading achievement at Deerfield, and we would not be able to excel and reach our goals without Anne in our library.”

Rick Doll, district superintendent, lauded Tormohlen for her work with all teachers and all students.

“It’s obvious that we made the right call,” he said.

The district now will nominate Tormohlen for Kansas Teacher of the Year, a program of the Kansas State Department of Education.

The district also plans to honor a 2010-11 Lawrence Secondary Teacher of the Year later this year.

DOWNTOWN LAWRENCE

Jefferson’s won’t reopen; assets to be auctioned

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

Today, the Kansas Department of Revenue will begin overseeing removal of assets from Jefferson’s Restaurant, a once busy downtown establishment.

Remaining will be the hundreds of dollar bills that patrons pinned to the wall.

Unable to reach a payment agreement with the restaurant’s owner over unpaid taxes, the revenue department said Tuesday that Jefferson’s, 743 Mass., will not reopen and its assets

would be sold at a public auction.

“We will leave things open as long as they are working with us, working to repay the debt,” department of revenue spokeswoman Jeannine Koranda said.

The restaurant, known for its monetary decor and fried food, opened in 2000 and was a popular spot for watching Kansas University basketball games.

On Feb. 8, the department of revenue and Alcoholic Beverage Control shut down the restaurant for failing to pay $46,848 in taxes.

At that time, owner Jason Franklin told the Journal-World

Today’s forecast, page 8A

The department of revenue has contracted with United Country Auction Services to handle the auction, which won’t be done at the restaurant. The company, which has an auction house in McPherson, said it is still working out the details of the auction.

As for the dollar bills still on Jefferson’s walls, Koranda said the money will stay. The property’s landlord has agreed to write a check in the amount of the dollar bills to keep them on the walls.

that the closure involved a “misunderstanding” and that he hoped to reopen by last Friday.

The restaurant’s tax warrants date back to June 2009, when $39,648.98 was owed.

On Tuesday, Franklin said he couldn’t keep up with his taxes during the recession and fell behind. He had owned the restaurant for more than five years.

“I’m sorry. I wish I could stay open, wish things went better.

Unfortunately, they did not,” Franklin said. “I appreciate all the support of all the loyal customers.”

Kansas University has placed its Interfraternity Council on probation for two years after a hazing investigation.

The council is the governing board for KU’s 21 fraternities.

A KU investigation alleged that the council engaged in hazing activity involving paddling after a formal officer-transition ceremony in November.

Members “took turns hitting each other,” according to an KANSAS investigation report generated by UNIVERSITY KU’s office of the vice provost for student success, but no new board members were hit by former board members, except for those elected into new leadership positions.

During an IFC meeting Tuesday evening, the council held a vote to remove IFC president Jay Trump from office. That vote failed, with 11 members voting to retain Trump and six voting against.

After the meeting, Trump declined to respond

to the situation.

“We will cooperate with the university,” was all he said.

The IFC will undergo extensive anti-hazing education and its representative will meet regularly with Nick Kehrwald, KU’s new student conduct officer, during the probationary period.

University spokeswoman Jill Jess said that the IFC would be allowed to continue operating while on probation.

“Hazing absolutely will not be tolerated at KU,” said Marlesa Roney, vice provost for student success, in a statement. “These sanctions are intended to rehabilitate and to offer the IFC the opportunity to provide true leadership to end the culture that has allowed hazing to persist.”

Sanctions include: ● IFC will hire and fund an outside consultant to review the hazing culture in the KU greek community and lead the implementation of recommended initiatives. ● At least two IFC executive board members and their

adviser or designee will attend the Novak Institute, an intensive, three-day anti-hazing seminar. Expenses will be covered by the IFC. ● IFC leadership will communicate the sanctions to the executive board and membership and apologize for their actions. ● Officer turnover procedures will be held in the presence of the staff adviser.

Also in KU’s investigation report, former board members described the 2009 turnover ceremony, which involved older members placing pillowcases over their heads so they could not see what was happening.

Then, the report said, members were asked questions in a forceful manner, and paddled by the person who held their post. Though the members did not report the behavior, they decided not to repeat it in 2010 “so that no one would go through what they did,” the report said.

Brownback proposes tax breaks to help repopulate rural areas

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Gov. Sam Brownback’s plan to give tax and student loan breaks to lure people to rural Kansas was greeted warmly by legislators on Tuesday, but they said the proposal still needs work.

Kansas Revenue Secretary Nick Jordan said the Brownback administration was trying to reverse a centurylong migration from rural counties.

“This is a very innovative and new idea on how we might repopulate and bring people back to rural Kansas,” Jordan told the Senate Taxation Committee.

Senate Bill 198 would create “rural opportunity zones” that would grant state income tax exemptions for five years to people who move from outside Kansas to any of the 40 counties in Kansas where populations have declined more than 10 percent since the 2000 Census.

And the bill would allow those counties the option of establishing a student loan repayment program that could repay student loans up

to $15,000. The participating county and state would share this expense.

Brownback’s policy director, Landon Fulmer, said if enacted the proposal would show the benefits of reducing state income taxes as a way to spur economic growth. He described it as a “test-tube” program that would help policymakers in an eventual overhaul of the tax system.

The state faces an estimated $492 million budget shortfall, and Brownback has said he wants to change the tax system in a way to attract more businesses and increase revenue.

But members of the Taxation Committee voiced several concerns about the proposal.

Sen. Jeff King, R-Independence, noted that the tax breaks could hurt one of the counties he represents: Cherokee County, which is one of Kansas’ poorest. Yet because its population didn’t decline by more than 10 percent, it would be ineligible to become a rural opportunity zone, while every county surrounding it would be eligible.

The effect, King said, could

be that Cherokee County would be at a disadvantage with its neighboring counties in luring people and businesses.

Other members of the committee questioned why the student loan payment plan was limited to Kansas residents who went to college outside Kansas, saying it should probably apply to Kansans who stayed in the state to go to school. And there were many questions about the cost of the program.

Under the proposal, the state would cap its student loan payback portion to $1.5 million per year. The income tax exemption was expected to reduce taxes to the state treasury by $1.1 million during the first year, but officials said an exact estimate was difficult to nail down because they didn’t know how many people would take advantage of the program.

The committee appointed a subcommittee to work with the Brownback administration on questions that had arisen.

Shelter leaders may reopen site search CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

begin once again the search for a suitable location supported by the community,” said John Tacha, chairman of the shelter’s board of directors.

Douglas County District Court Judge Sally Pokorny dismissed a lawsuit Monday afternoon that shelter leaders had hoped would clear the way for the shelter to move from its current site at 10th and Kentucky streets.

Instead, Monday’s dismissal left a cloud of uncertainty regarding whether long-standing private covenants would prevent the shelter from locating in the business park.

Shelter director Loring Henderson said Tuesday that what is certain is the Lawrence Community Shelter will continue efforts to build a new shelter somewhere.

“We are sticking with this,” Henderson said. “It is important that the community have a homeless shelter, and it will have a homeless shelter. We have raised money, and we will provide a shelter based on the donations we have received and will receive in the future.”

Henderson said he did not want to say yet that the organization was abandoning all efforts to move forward at the 3701 Franklin Park Circle site.

“I just want to say that we’re exploring all our options,” Henderson said.

But Henderson said one option not under consideration is staying at its 10th and Kentucky location for the long term.

“That is not an option,” Henderson said. “It absolutely is not. It is an inadequate building for what we want to do.”

City Hall officials soon will face several key decisions about the 10th and Kentucky shelter. The special use permit for the shelter expires in April.

Lawrence-Douglas County planning commissioners will consider a one-year renewal of the permit at its Feb. 23 meeting. City commissioners will make the final decision on the permit in March.

When city commissioners last renewed the permit — over the objection of several neighbors — they said they

Have you ever damaged your car driving over a expected the shelter to be pothole? well on its way to moving to a new location when the permit next came up for renewal.

Tuesday evening Mayor Mike Amyx said the court ruling created a new complication.

“We will have to listen to all the concerns,” Amyx said of likely objections that will come from neighbors near 10th and Kentucky. “But we also have to take into consideration what has changed with the shelter’s operations and what could change to improve the shelter’s operations.”

Henderson said he’ll just try to provide assurances to planning and city commissioners that the shelter doesn’t want to stay at the location for the long term.

“I don’t want to stay in this building,” Henderson said.

“I’ll tell the Planning Commission and the City Commission that.”

Shelter leaders on Tuesday also were working to assure donors that efforts to build a new shelter were still financially sound. The judge dismissed the case, in part, because the shelter had not completed the $2 million deal to purchase the vacant warehouse. The court also noted that a bank loan for the project had not been finalized.

But Henderson said getting money to purchase the building has not been a concern.

He said the shelter has raised about $1.6 million thus far, and has had very positive discussions with a bank about financing the rest of the project. He said the shelter has a donor who has agreed to act as a guarantor to pay off the loan, if for some reason future donations don’t materialize.

Henderson said the project has received donations from about 200 different donors thus far.

“To say that we weren’t in a position to purchase the building is incorrect,” Henderson said. “Our donors should be assured that we intend to use the money that has been given to us to purchase a shelter in Lawrence.”

Bishop Seabury Academy recognizes seniors 1 | WASHINGTON, D.C.

Obama, GOP still clashing over budget On a collision course over spending, House Republicans advanced a sweeping, $61 billion package of budget reductions on Tuesday despite a veto threat and a warning from President Barack Obama against cuts “that could endanger the recovery.”

Congressional Democrats said the Republican cuts would reduce U.S. employment rather than add to it and leapt to criticize when House Speaker John Boehner said “so be it” if federal government jobs are lost.

Spending legislation must be signed into law by March 4 to prevent a government shutdown that neither side says it wants. The GOP bill, separate from the 2012 budget Obama unveiled on Monday, covers spending for the fiscal year that ends on Sept. 30.

The current legislation would affect domestic programs ranging from education and science to agriculture and parks, and it marks the first significant attack on federal deficits by Republicans elected last fall with the support of tea party activists. Passage is likely by week’s end in the House, but a frosty reception is expected later in the Democratic-controlled Senate.

Bahrain square copies Egypt’s uprising Thousands of protesters took over a main square in Bahrain’s capital Tuesday — carting in tents and raising banners — in a bold attempt to copy Egypt’s uprising and force high-level changes in one of Washington’s key allies in the Gulf.

The move by demonstrators capped two days of clashes across the tiny island kingdom that left at least two people dead, parliament in limbo by an opposition boycott and the king making a rare address on national television to offer condolences for the bloodshed.

Security forces — apparently under orders to hold back — watched from the sidelines as protesters chanted slogans mocking the nation’s ruling sheiks and called for sweeping political reforms and an end to monarchy’s grip on key decisions and government posts.

The unrest in Bahrain, home to the U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet, adds another layer to Washington’s worries in the region. In Yemen, police and government supporters battled nearly 3,000 marchers calling for the ouster of President Ali Abdullah Saleh in a fifth straight day of violence.

Humane Society agrees to $10,000 in back pay

goes into that. I would hate for us to go strictly on a scoring system,” she said.

Recently, the Kansas Board of Regents approved tougher admissions standards that will be required for students graduating from high school in 2015

The Lawrence Humane Society has agreed to pay $10,000 in back wages to its employees following an investigation by the U.S. Department of Labor, the society confirmed Tuesday.

Humane Society Board President Megan Hiebert said an investigation determined that employees were not correctly being paid for overtime or were being required to work after clocking out.

An employee filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Labor in October. An investigation by that agency found that six employees were not properly paid and were due $3,000 in wages. Hiebert said the society’s board of directors conducted its own review of other employees who were not subject to the Department of Labor investigation. That review found 14 employees who were owed $7,000 in back wages.

The payments will be made to the employees by Feb. 25, Hiebert said.

“We are committed to correcting this situation and protecting the rights of our employees,” Hiebert said in a statement. “We are deeply distressed that these violations occurred and we are implementing appropriate policies and processes to ensure it does not happen in the future.

We will work diligently with our executive director to ensure our workers are properly paid in the future.”

Hiebert said the pay problems occurred over a period of two

Trash task force will get 1 year to make suggestions

Deutsche Boerse to acquire NYSE The New York Stock Exchange will be acquired by Deutsche Boerse, owner of the Frankfurt stock exchange.

The merger will create the world’s largest financial markets company. Yet the name of the new company hasn’t been announced. The omission reflects the amount of symbolism that’s wrapped up in the deal.

Politicians are already weighing in on the importance of retaining the NYSE name in some form.

Under the proposed terms, Deutsche Boerse shareholders will own 60 percent of the combined company and NYSE Euronext Inc. shareholders will own the remaining 40 percent. The reality is that NYSE Euronext is already a global company that owns the New York Stock Exchange and various stock and derivatives exchanges across Europe.

years. She declined to give more details about the nature of the violations, but noted that the U.S. Department of Labor did not levy a fine against the Humane Society, other than ordering the back wages be paid.

“I just know that the staff is very dedicated to serving the animals,” Hiebert said.

Hiebert also declined to comment on whether any personnel actions would be taken regarding the issue.

Hiebert did conf irm that longtime Humane Society leader Midge Grinstead remains in her position as executive director.

In early November, the Humane Society’s board of directors placed Grinstead on administrative leave for

unspecified personnel reasons. In late November, she was reinstated. An attempt to reach Grinstead for comment was unsuccessful.

“We regret being in this position and we are committed to making right to our employees,” Hiebert said.

“We’re working with the staff on policies and procedures to ensure full compliance with labor standards as we move forward.”

Hiebert said the board also was undertaking a broader review of shelter operations to ensure that other regulations and policies are being followed.

“We’re working very diligently on that,” Hiebert said.

and later.

To get into KU or any other regent university, a student must either complete a precollege curriculum, get a 21 or higher on the ACT, or rank in the top third of their graduating high school class.

Under the change, completion of a pre-college curriculum or Kansas Scholars curriculum with at least a 2.0 g rade-point average would be required and then either an ACT score of 21 or higher, combined SAT score of 980 or higher on math and critical reading, or rank in the top third in the graduating class.

The pre-college curriculum includes a higher math hurdle than before. It includes three years of math with the requirement that

the student meet the ACT college readiness benchmark or take four years of math, including one year during the student’s senior year.

Gray-Little, Schulz and Barbara Atkinson, executive vice chancellor of the KU Medical Center, testified to the committee in support of Gov. Sam Brownback’s budget proposal for higher education. The proposal would essentially keep higher-education funding at the current level.

After two years of cuts, and with the state still facing an estimated $492 million revenue shortfall, Gray-Little said she appreciated Brownback’s proposal.

Topeka man sentenced in apartment shooting A Douglas County judge Tuesday morning sentenced a 20-year-old Topeka man to serve five years and six months in prison in connection with a shooting last year outside a Lawrence apartment.

Christopher Bush had pleaded no-contest in January to aggravated battery, conspiracy to commit aggravated battery and attempted aggravated robbery.

Prosecutors accused him of shooting a Lawrence man on Oct. 11 in the 2500 block of Redbud Lane in an attempted robbery.

Chief District Judge Robert Fairchild followed a plea agreement both sides reached in the case to have him serve his sentences on all three counts at the same time.

His longest sentence is 66 months for aggravated battery, and Bush will get credit for the four months he has already served in jail.

Police and prosecutors have accused Jackson and three other defendants of scheming to try to rob the two Lawrence men. In January, Fairchild sentenced Ashley Halstead, 22, to serve three years on probation, and the driver Desmond Jackson, 19, entered a plea last month.

The fourth defendant, Rylie Musik, 18, has a trial scheduled for April 6. Her attorney has said she was not part of the plan.

American Uprising: Unearthing the Untold Story of America’s Largest Slave Revolt This event is free and open to the public.

No tickets are required.

The relatively unexplored New Orleans slave revolt, which took place in January 1811, is the subject of Daniel Rasmussen’s American Uprising: The Untold Story of America’s Largest Slave Revolt. Rasmussen’s gripping account of the uprising, hailed by critics as varied as Henry Louis Gates, Jr. and Garden & Gun Magazine, will be the focus of his talk. The book grew out of Rasmussen’s thesis project at Harvard University, where he won several prizes, including the Thomas Temple Hoopes Prize, Harvard’s most prestigious undergraduate honor. Rasmussen graduated summa cum laud from Harvard University in 2009.

Q:

When will the city start picking up yard waste?

A:

The curbside program will resume March 7, weather permitting. It runs on Mondays, through mid-December, except on holidays. Materials should be set out by 6 a.m. in a can, city cart or compostable paper bag.

Q:

According to Friday’s paper, Thursday’s low was minus 16 degrees.

Is that a record low for Feb. 10?

If so, what year was the previous low and what was the low for that day?

A:

According to Jennifer Bowen, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Topeka, minus 16 degrees was the official record in Lawrence for Feb. 10. But the NWS has had an official station only since 2005. Before that, all information was based on an observer on Kansas University campus. The record from that location, which is not official, was minus 6 degrees in 1899.

BRIEFLY Man arrested, faces charges in rape case Douglas County prosecutors have charged a 21-year-old Lawrence man with rape in connection with an April 2010 incident reported in south-central Lawrence.

According to court records, prosecutors accuse the defendant of having sex with a COURTS woman who was incapable of giving consent. The charges did not specify the scenario, but prosecutors allege the woman either was under the effect of alcohol or drugs, had a mental deficiency or was unconscious.

Lawrence police have said the victim alleged the incident occurred April 25. The suspect was arrested Monday evening on a warrant for the rape charge and for an alleged probation violation in a 2009 case when he pleaded no contest to obstruction and driving on a suspended license, according

3 men get prison in counterfeiting case WICHITA — Three southern California men who were arrested in Kansas with 247 phony Visa debit cards have been sentenced to 18 months in federal prison.

They were among four men who pleaded guilty to single counts related to counterfeiting in a deal with prosecutors.

The case stems from a traffic stop last April 2 following a chase through Thomas County in northwest Kansas.

Scottish deerhound is top dog NEW YORK (AP) — A Scottish deerhound that loves to chase wild animals wound up catching her biggest prize yet.

A 5-year-old named Hickory pulled a huge surprise Tuesday night at the Westminster Kennel Club, winning best in show and the title of America’s top dog. She became the first of her breed to capture the purple-andgold ribbon and shiny silver bowl.

“I think Hickory could feel my lead that I was excited and went with it,” handler Angela Lloyd said.

Judge Paolo Dondina of Italy thanked everyone at Madison Square Garden,

then picked Hickory from a bestof-seven f inal show ring that truly sounded international — there was a Hickory Pekingese, Portuguese water dog, Chinese shar-pei, smooth fox terrier, bearded collie and black cocker spaniel.

Muslims maneuvering in Egypt False figure

PUBLIC FORUM

Garden fever Spring is just around the corner and a number of local schools are catching garden fever.

A

fter weeks of snow and subzero wind chills, a few warm days are bound to stir up gardening fever — and it’s good to see more local schools catching the bug.

It’s a little cool to start planting even early spring crops, but it’s never too early to start putting together a plan. Spurred on by the success of a student-run garden last summer at West Junior High School, other local schools are planning to add garden plots to their campuses this year.

Students at West, with the assistance of some community helpers, established their garden last spring. They sold herbs, flowers, fruits and vegetables from the garden at weekly markets, raising more than $4,000 that will be put back into the garden project. The garden also provided some paid employment for a few West students and contributed 180 pounds of food that was used in the school’s cafeteria this fall.

While West is planning a garden expansion, including some fruit trees, five other schools are getting ready to break ground on new garden projects. Gardens are planned at Free State High School and Central Junior High and at Corpus Christi, Hillcrest and Sunset Hill elementary schools. The projects are being supported by a number of grants and community partners. In fact, community volunteers are being sought to help with spring garden preparations on March 12 and 15 and April 2.

People who would like to help can contact Lily Siebert at The Merc, 901 Iowa.

A generation or two ago, helping in the family garden was a common summer chore for many school-age children. The new school garden projects help get youngsters reconnected with the food they eat. They learn what it takes to nurture a crop and hopefully see it to a successful harvest. Only a handful of West students were paid to work in the garden, but consider the pride they shared with classmates who actually saw some of that food on their lunch trays last fall.

The garden gives students an enjoyable way to spend some time outside and offers a variety of lessons in biology, math, marketing, teamwork and other areas. They are lessons that could foster an enjoyable future hobby or even a career for the students.

It’s nice to see local schools and community volunteers supporting students’ desire to try their hand at what many Douglas County residents find to be a satisfying hobby or, in some cases, a significant source of income.

The events of recent days in Egypt offer a sober lesson to westerners who think the uprising that ousted President Hosni Mubarak resembles the American Revolution.

Much of the television commentary revealed complete ignorance about the history of the region and of Egypt and especially the clear and present danger of a theocratic coup by the Muslim Brotherhood. First prize for those who are clueless about what is transpiring before their blind eyes goes to James Clapper, director of National Intelligence (though the runner-up prize goes to a TV commentator who compared demonstrators in Tahrir Square to America’s tea party movement.)

Clapper told a congressional hearing that the Muslim Brotherhood is a “heterogeneous group, largely secular, which has eschewed violence and has decried al-Qaida as a perversion of Islam.”

Perhaps Clapper can explain then why the Brotherhood endorsed Hitler’s goal of eradicating the Jews and conspired to assassinate the late Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and his predecessor Gamal Abdel Nasser.

According to the Anti-Defamation League, “The Muslim Brotherhood no longer openly conducts terrorist operations; it is primarily a political organization that supports terrorism and terrorist causes. Many of its members, however, have engaged in terrorist activities and the group has spawned numerous terrorist groups, such as Hamas and Egyptian Islamic Jihad.”

The Muslim Brotherhood is not just one of “a variety of movements” within Egypt, as Clapper asserted, but a powerful and influ-

ential religious-political force any “democratic” movement must reckon with. According to a 2009 study by WorldPublicOpinion.org, 64 percent of Egyptians view the Muslim Brotherhood positively, while only 16 percent have negative views. Sixty-nine percent think the Brotherhood favors democracy. Just 22 percent say they are too extreme and not really democratic.

Douglas Schoen has advised four Israeli prime ministers, as well as the prime minister of Turkey. In a commentary for Foxnews.com, Schoen writes he believes there is “at least a 50 percent chance, if not more, that a candidate from the Muslim Brotherhood or a party with a generally similar approach and orientation will win the next presidential election.”

Why? Consider a Pew poll conducted last year which showed 48 percent of Egyptians say that Islam plays a large role in politics

in Egypt and 85 percent say Islam’s influence in politics is positive.

Only 2 percent said it is negative.

“Not surprisingly,” writes Schoen, that a Zogby poll found two-thirds of Egyptians think, “Egyptian life would improve when clerics play a more central role in the political life of the country.”

The fanatics know how to “play” the West, using images and words such as “freedom” and “liberation” to make us think they mean what we mean by those words.

Thanks to pathetic reporting by The New York Times and other media sycophants more than 50 years ago, Fidel Castro, following the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista, was also seen by many as a liberator of Cuba. “I am not a communist and neither is the revolutionary movement,” Castro said at the time. Only after he consolidated power, did he tell the truth: “I am a Marxist-Leninist and I will be one until the last day of my life.”

Deception is not limited to communists like Castro. Deception is also a strategy of others who would dominate the world by religious-political doctrines. Last Saturday, Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood announced it will not try to win the presidency of Egypt, nor will it attempt to win a majority in parliament. Given the Brotherhood’s statement of purpose and past record, this announcement should be seen as a tactical maneuver designed to fool Western governments, rather than a change in objectives.

I’m betting on the Muslim Brotherhood, or an affiliated organization with similar goals, to eventually gain political power in Egypt.

To the editor: Saturday morning I attended the “Eggs and Issues” breakfast sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce.

House Majority Leader Arlen Siegfreid was one of several lawmakers present. In response to a question, Mr. Siegfreid stated that “only 36 percent” of students in fourth grade across Kansas “read at grade level.” He went on to say that scores had been in decline since “sometime in the ’70s.” “Something must be done,” he said.

Yes, Rep. Siegfreid, something must be done, and a good place to start would be having our elected officials speak the truth rather than be a source of misinformation.

According to the Kansas Department of Education, “Results from the 2010 Kansas statewide assessments show a 10-year growth trend in reading and mathematics statewide. Students performing in the top three performance levels on the reading assessment increased to 86.3 percent in 2010, up from 85.7 percent in 2009.” State data indicates that 86.8 percent of fourthgraders met or exceeded the Kansas reading standards last year.

Rep. Siegfreid is off by 50.2 percent. It is not true that only 36 percent of Kansas fourthgraders read at grade level.

The facts are that 86.8 percent of fourth-graders read at grade level. I find it outrageous and offensive for an — Cal Thomas is a columnist for Tri- elected official to falsely porbune Media Services. tray our Kansas public schools as failing. Perhaps he fears voucher proposals have little meaning if the alternative to private schooling in an excellent public education.

From the Lawrence Daily World for Feb. 16, 1911: “A series of aeroplane flights covering four days are assured for Lawrence next YEARS week. Contracts were closed with W. M.

“Continuing the fouling tactics which she used so consistently in the Thanksgiving game, Missouri lost to Kansas in basket ball on her own court last night. Sustaining a crushing defeat by a score of 32 to 16 puts the Tigers effectively out of the championship race.”

State arts support not a frill It would appear that the “culture wars” have returned, this time under the guise of budget cutting. In Washington, a new, more conservative House of Representatives is threatening to cut off all funding for public radio and television. In Kansas, Gov. Brownback has signed an order abolishing the Kansas Arts Commission.

My reaction to all of this is a combination of profound sadness and a feeling that there is more behind these moves than simple economic savings.

The abolition of the Kansas Arts Commission will save the state less than a million dollars— a large sum for individuals, but quite tiny in comparison with the overall state budget. Proponents of the cut argue that “you have to start somewhere.” I agree completely. The question is not whether the state must limit its spending; the question is what state-funded activities should be cut or reduced. It think that it is a tragic mistake to eliminate one of the only sources of funds in Kansas for support of the arts.

Public funding of artistic activity has been a favorite target of social conservatives for decades.

At the heart of this opposition to funding the arts is the suspicion that this funding is being used to produce “objectionable” art, i.e.,

Mike Hoeflich the motivation behind “theIfabolition of the KAC is not based on this distrust but, rather, is a judgment that art simply isn’t that important, then we are in even more serious trouble.”

art that offends the moral or religious sensibilities of the opponents. For some reason, distrust of art has become ingrained in the core consciousness of American social conservatives.

I think that these opponents of public funding of art in Kansas should look at the projects and artists that have been funded over the years. It’s hard to see how supporting community art programs or assisting young artists to carry on their careers is objectionable.

How many projects funded by the

Kansas Arts Commission have offended social conservatives ?

If the motivation behind the abolition of the KAC is not based on this distrust but, rather, is a judgment that art simply isn’t that important, then we are in even more serious trouble. For me, art is the surest sign of God’s presence in mankind that I know. I believe that the human creativity that lies behind art is nothing less than a spark of the divine.

To hinder the arts, to deprive the people of Kansas of an exposure to the arts is, to me, at least, nigh unto sacrilege. Who among the opponents of the KAC will promise that the next Leonardo or Giotto, now a baby somewhere in Kansas, will not be deterred from his destiny because of the lost opportunities brought about by the abolition of public funding for the arts? Is art to once again become the sole preserve of the wealthy? Are the vast majority of Kansans to be told what art they may view by the wealthy few who can afford to support it?

Please, Gov. Brownback, think about how art glorifies not only Man but God, and do the right thing.

To the editor: Another day, another xenophobic Journal-World column

by Cal Thomas (Feb. 11).

Here are the things Cal says he fears: Islamic extremists (undef ined), loss of nationhood and national identity, floods of immigrants, whole areas of town occupied by immigrants and their descendants, illegal immigrants.

Here are the approaches Cal says he dislikes: liberalism, multiculturalism (undefined), legislation against discrimination, national refusal to integrate immigrants into our culture (no examples given).

Here are the general objectives Cal supports: “require ... immigrants to become part of the melting pot,’ get tougher on Islamic extremists.

Here are Cal’s specifics on how to do that: none.

I have a hard time understanding how to integrate immigrants by discriminating against them. The only other concrete thing I get from the column is an urge to punish immigrants.

The best definition of demagoguery I have seen is onesided thinking combined with scapegoating. Cal’s style of demagoguery works because he uses lots of scary undefined words one can project one’s fears onto, avoiding any specif ics that could be rebutted.

LAWRENCE HIGH GIRLS 39, SM SOUTH 34

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Manning maturing nicely Watching a high school athlete get a taste of varsity competition as a sophomore, and then returning to the same gymnasium two years that seem like a blink later to see him again made for an interesting exercise.

Free State High senior guard Evan Manning plays with the same absence of ego, but now mixes it with an abundance of confidence.

As a sophomore, Manning’s feel for the game was evident, but he didn’t seem convinced he belonged yet. Unsure of his jumper, a little reluctant to put the defense on its heels, Manning did his best to set up teammates and showed signs of having the makings of a solid, starting varsity point guard.

Given his good head for the game and passion to play it the right way, you had to figure he would blossom, but this good, this quickly?

A 6-foot-1, 165-pound senior, Manning put his understated signature all over Free State’s 65-54 home-court victory Tuesday night against Shawnee Mission West. Playing with a subtly aggressive style, he totaled 18 points, seven rebounds, five assists and four steals.

“Evan was great tonight,” Free State coach Chuck Law said. “Without Evan, we might have lost the game.”

Manning had 11 points and three steals in leading the Firebirds to a 22-12 advantage at the end of the first quarter, but that didn’t inspire him to seek to pad his scoring totals. He took his opportunities when they were there on a night he showed myriad methods of scoring and facilitating.

Twice, he drove the baseline hard and fired passes to a wideopen teammate in the opposite corner for three-point shots. He zipped one no-look, bullet pass to the post that almost was converted and he scored an oldfashioned three-point play on a relentless drive he finished with an up-and under. It called to mind recent drives of Kansas University senior guard Tyrel Reed. In some ways, Manning’s growth as a high school guard has followed a similar path as Reed’s in college.

Manning, who still has a lot of filling out to do physically, is an ideal candidate for prep school, as was former Free State and current KU guard Brady Morningstar. Manning said he plans to attend New Hampton, a boarding school in New Hampshire where Morningstar spent a year.

Manning’s a playmaker first, a scorer second.

“Evan played an awesome game on Friday night (against Olathe Northwest) and didn’t score a point,” Law said. “He’s a great leader and a great communicator. And he’s so great at organizing and bringing guys together. And when he goes out and gets you 18 points, that’s just a huge added bonus.”

Manning teamed with Eric Watson for the evening’s most crowd-pleasing play. Just a few dribbles past the half-court line, from the right side, Manning delivered a high pass to the left of the rim for Watson, who banked it in and was fouled, a play that sapped the life out of the visitors’ late run.

“Definitely not an easy catch,” Manning said. “The catch is the hardest part, I’d say.

I mean, finishing, concentrating, finishing with the foul.

That was a good play. It was a big momentum boost.”

And it was a nice finishing touch to a big night for the blossoming senior.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY WALK-ON CHRISTIAN GARRETT WARMS UP with the Jayhawks before their game against Missouri on Feb. 7 at Allen Fieldhouse. Garrett, a California native, will be eligible to play with the team in the 2011-2012 season.

were down three in the f inal minute.

Ever-reliable senior Emily Peterson hit two free throws to give the Lions (7-10) their five-point margin of victory, the biggest lead by either team.

“That’s who we want up there,” Wood said. “All year she’s hit big free throws for us, and she continues to do that.”

Peterson closed the game, but Wood can thank a revamped starting lineup for bringing energy in the opening quarter.

Senior Rachel Kelly, who finished with 17 points, started after recovering from a head injury. Costa and junior Christina Haswood also made rare starts.

New Kansas University basketball walk-on Christian Garrett had a rather emotional, outof-the-ordinary first day on campus.

He arrived from IMG Academies in Bradenton, Fla., on Jan. 21, the day Thomas Robinson’s mom, Lisa, died of an apparent heart attack back in Washington, D.C. “Watching how close the team was helped me be at ease with my decision (to attend KU),” said Garrett, a 6-foot-3, 170-pound freshman originally from Los Angeles. “Coach (Bill) Self ... the way he handled it and talked to everybody ... he wasn’t like a coach who brings somebody in and doesn’t ever talk to them (players). He actually cares about them.”

The personable Garrett — he chose KU over North Carolina State, Alabama and Auburn and elected to enroll immediately and practice but not play in games in preparation for the start of his official career in 201112 — felt comfortable speaking to Robinson about this most serious issue.

“I went up to Thomas and basically said, ‘I’m new here. I don’t know you,’ but I told him my mom was sick before. She almost died (when Christian was in high school in L.A.). I said, ‘The biggest thing you can do, what I did in that situation was get closer to God and just be thankful for everything I have.’ I said, ‘The best thing you can do now is be successful for her.’’’

LHS girls organize comeback, sink SM South

By Clark Goble Journal-World Sports Writer

In more than a couple games this season, Lawrence High’s girls basketball team hasn’t been fully engaged from the opening tip. Slow starts have often put the Lions behind.

Sure enough, the Lions found themselves trailing at the end of the first quarter on Tuesday against Shawnee Mission South.

But this time, coach Nick Wood looked out on the court and saw a team that desperately wanted a win.

And the Lions earned it, squeaking out a 39-34 victory at LHS. “They dug down, dug deep, competed and got stops defensively when we needed to,” Wood said.

CLEAN SWEEP Lawrence High’s boys defeated Shawnee Mission South and completed the Tuesday sweep. Page 4B “We’re really locking in and getting stops when the game is on the line.”

Sophomore Krista Costa was a big part of those stops. With just over two minutes remaining, she took a charge just outside the right block to give the Lions possession.

Wood then matched Costa up with South’s Taylor McDowell, who had hit four three-pointers already.

Costa stayed within arm’s length of McDowell and didn’t allow her to get a look when the Raiders (6-8)

Firebirds knock off pesky Vikings

FREE STATE SENIOR GUARD EVAN MANNING (32) HOOKS a reverse layup around Shawnee Mission West’s Mitch Witter (40) and Nick Thayer. The Firebirds defeated the Vikings, 6554, on Tuesday at FSHS.

Following Tuesday’s game, Free State High boys basketball coach Chuck Law found himself returning to the word “disappointed.”

On the heels of Free State’s fourth straight win — this time a 65-54 victory over Shawnee Mission West at FSHS — that only meant that Law wanted to see something more than the uneven performance the Firebirds turned in.

FSHS (11-6) never trailed in the game and led by as many as 21 over a seemingly outmatched SM West team.

But for Law, the defense, espe-

FSHS GIRLS FALL Free State’s girls basketball team struggled in a setback to SM West. Page 4B cially in the half court, was nowhere near where he expects it to be.

“We do it in spurts,” Law said.

“We can’t focus for long enough periods of time. I think this can be a really dynamic defensive team, not just in the press, but in the half court.”

While the first-half defense was average for Law’s standards, offensively, the Firebirds were nearly flawless before halftime.

Senior Evan Manning scored 14 of his 18 points to lead a balanced attack, featuring a barrage of smooth jump shots from Eric Watson (10 points), Alec Heline (11 points) and Brett Frantz (seven points).

Georgi Funtarov also added 10 points and seven rebounds.

“Offensively we played together in the first half,” said Manning, who added seven rebounds, five assists and four steals. “A lot of our buckets came off of assists, good passes, and turnovers.”

Perhaps too comfortable with their 41-23 halftime cushion, the Firebirds looked a bit sluggish to begin the third quarter.

Chiefs hire ex-Washington coach Zorn as quarterbacks coach KANSAS CITY, MO. — Jim Zorn is coming to Kansas City Chiefs as quarterbacks coach.

The Chiefs said the former head coach of the Washington Redskins signed a contract on Tuesday and will work under new offensive coordinator Bill Muir.

“We are excited to finalize our coaching staff today with the addition of Jim Zorn,” said head coach Todd Haley. “As a former head coach with more than two decades of experience playing and coaching the quarterback position in the NFL, Jim has a tremendous working knowledge of the game, and he will play a big role in the continued development of our football team.”

Zorn, 57, was released as Baltimore’s quarterbacks coach on Jan. 27 after helping Joe Flacco have his finest year as an NFL quarterback, including beating the Chiefs in the first round of the playoffs.

NFL Manning, Vick given franchise tags INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Colts are keeping Peyton Manning — no matter what it

costs. Manning, the only four-time MVP in league history, has been given the exclusive franchise tag, a move that could cost the Colts $23 million next season. Team owner Jim Irsay announced the decision Tuesday night on Twitter.

Like Manning, Philadelphia quarterback Michael Vick also received the exclusive label, the team’s website reported, so no other team can negotiate with him.

In other NFL news: ■ Washington Redskins kick returner Brandon Banks had a tube inserted in his chest and remained hospitalized following a stabbing.

Banks’ agent, James Gould, said Tuesday that Banks is still expected to have a 100 percent recovery from the stabbing that occurred outside a D.C. nightclub early Saturday. Gould originally described Banks’ injury as a surface wound to the side and said that Banks would go home within a day. Gould now says he’s not certain when Banks will be discharged.

■ Titans head coach Mike Munchak has filled his offensive coordinator job by hiring Chris Palmer, a former head coach with the Cleveland Browns who spent last season coaching in the UFL.

MISSOURI’S STEVE MOORE, LEFT, WRESTLES THE BALL away from Texas Tech’s Jaye Crockett as he falls to the floor. The Tigers defeated the Red Raiders, 92-84, on Tuesday at Mizzou Arena in Columbia, Mo.

BIG 12 MEN

Missouri beats Texas Tech The Associated Press

No. 20 Missouri 92, Texas Tech 84 C O L U M B I A , M O . — Marcus Denmon scored 20 points, showing no after effects from a blow to the head three days earlier, to help Missouri beat Texas Tech on Tuesday night.

Kim English had 16 points and reserve Michael Dixon 13 points for the Tigers (20-6, 65 Big 12), who shot 58 percent but were tested in a run-andgun contest that was light on defense before going to 16-0 at home. John Roberson had 21 points for Texas Tech (11-15, 3-8), which shot 49 percent.

MU entered averaging a 23.7-point victory margin at Mizzou Arena and led by 13 with about 9 1⁄2 minutes left, but were hanging on after Roberson’s three-pointer cut the margin to three with 1:14 to play. The Tigers scored the game’s last f ive points, despite a pair of missed free throws by English.

David Tairu added 17 points for Texas Tech, which lost its fourth in a row — all

against ranked opponents.

The scoring total was a season best for an opponent at Missouri.

Denmon, a junior guard, topped 1,000 career points late in an 18-point first half.

He missed the last 18 minutes of Saturday’s home victory over Oklahoma after taking an accidental elbow just under the right eye from teammate Laurence Bowers, requiring two stitches.

Denmon showed he was fine immediately, scoring seven of Missouri’s first 11 points.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY PITCHER WALLY MARCIEL SPEAKS with members of the media at baseball media day on Tuesday at the McCarthy Family Clubhouse.

Walk-on Garrett settling in at KU Senior lefty ready CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

High in North Hollywood, Calif., and his junior season at Stone Ridge Prep in Tarzana, Calif. — was off to a successful start this season at IMG. He averaged 14.0 points, 7.0 assists and 6.0 rebounds a game for a team that plays small colleges and prep schools.

“This is different, a big transition, but great,” Garrett said of KU. “I like it e ve n t h o u g h i t ’s h a rd because I see what I have to work on. In high school, I could see what my weaknesses were. Now I get to work on them against better competition.”

He entered the major college mix right away, practicing with the team his first day as an official member of the program.

“They gave me everything (gear) and threw me right in,” Garrett said with a smile. “I went out and guarded Tyshawn (Taylor) and Elijah (Johnson) a lot and Tyrel (Reed). The hardest thing about it was the reaction time on defense. Definitely they are a lot quicker and stronger.

You’ve always got to be ready to play. If you are just kind of

out there playing, you’ll get lost easily.”

Garrett, who played for Belmont Shore AAU program, became acquainted with current KU freshman Royce Woolridge at the Pangos AllAmerica camp last summer.

Garrett made the top 50 at that camp and was a top 25 pick at the Fullcourt Press All-West camp.

“We both did pretty well at that (Pangos) camp,” Garrett said. “Royce has been cool.

Everybody’s been cool and treated me well.”

Garrett — he said his goal is to earn a scholarship in the future and play meaningful minutes at Kansas — is hoping to welcome another buddy to campus this summer.

He’s best friends of DeAndre Daniels, a 6-8 forward from IMG, who is considering KU, Texas and Kentucky.

“I lived with him throughout the year and I’ve known him four years. He’s like family, like a brother,” Garrett said. “There were a lot of schools I was looking at he wasn’t looking at. We’ve always wanted to go to the same school. We said we’d do what’s best for each other.

The only thing I can tell him

is that there’s nothing like this place. I think he knows that. I think it’s just going to be him making the right decision (for himself).”

Combo guard Garrett was conf ident in his decision when he and other family members spoke with Self late in the decision-making process.

“My mom (Cynthia) kept on feeling this is where God wanted me to be and she felt at peace with it (decision),” Garrett said. “After meeting with coach Self and seeing the place and getting to think about the other places I’ve seen ... there’s no place like this.

“I’ve always been about getting better. I’m not done as a player. My body hasn’t matured. I’m not done growing. I wanted to go to the place I could reach my full potential. This is definitely the right time and the right place.”

Coach Self noted Garrett “is a quality young man that will be a great representative of us. He’s also a very good athlete that has a chance to be a very good basketball player.”

His AAU coach, Dinos Trigonis, also indicated Garrett “is very athletic for his size. He’s a late-bloomer,

growing-wise. He’s listed as 63.

He may be a little taller than that, closer to 6-4. He’s improved a lot. Although he was inconsistent at times in the summer, he had some good moments, especially offensively. He has a chance down the road. From a walkon standpoint, he has a lot of long-term potential and academically will enhance the team significantly. He is an excellent student.”

So far Garrett, whose great uncle, Bill Garrett, played basketball collegiately at Indiana (1949-51) and cousins Mike Garrett and Chris Chambliss played for the K.C. Chiefs and New York Yankees respectively — has maintained a low profile.

He’s conducted just this one interview and has managed to avoid getting recognized on campus, unheard of for a Kansas basketball player.

All in good time.

“Honestly I feel God brought me here so I know everything will be fine,” Garrett said. “I know after a couple months of this I’ll be a whole different player and be a step ahead (for next season).

I have focus.”

Lawrence High boys 57, SM South 39 After junior Logan Henrichs missed a couple boxouts against Shawnee Mission South on Tuesday, he was promptly pulled from the game.

So when Henrichs went back in the game, he made sure that he went after every rebound he could.

His 15 rebounds were a season-high, and they helped the

SM South 12-49 (24.5 percent); Lawrence 13-45 (28.9 percent). Turnovers: SM South 7, Lawrence 11.

Three-point goals: SM South 4-15 (N. Weber, Christie, Hodoh, Bayles); Lawrence 3-15 (Pritchard, Willoughby, Henrichs). Shooting: SM South 13-47 (27.7 percent); Lawrence 23-52 (44.2 percent). Turnovers: SM South 8, Lawrence 9.

Lions cruise to a victory at LHS. Henrichs’ tenacity on the boards also paid off for him individually — he finished with 19 points on 8-of-14 shooting.

Coach Mike Lewis said that he knew Henrichs was capable of that kind of game.

“When he decides to compete and get after it, he can be a really special player,” Lewis said.

The Lions led, 25-15, at halftime. Two minutes into the third quarter, chaos nearly broke out after LHS senior Garrett Wagner apparently

elbowed South senior Nick Weber in the head. A foul was not called on the play.

Lewis said he didn’t see the play, but he had talked to some people about what they saw.

Both Lewis and South coach Brett McFall spilled onto the floor, trying to separate the two teams. South parents erupted and one Raider fan was kicked out of the game.

“That’s a great learning experience for our guys to move past it and funnel that energy toward the game of basketball,” Lewis said.

The Lions (7-10) maintained their eight-point lead through the rest of the quarter and opened up a 49-33 lead midway through the fourth.

Junior Dylan Christie led the Raiders (4-12) with 14 points and five rebounds.

Next up for the Lions is a tough test on Senior Night against vaunted Olathe Northwest.

Free State girls suffer setback to SM West CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

“We were afraid at the half that it was going to become a bit of a ‘let me get mine’ type of second half by us,” Law said. “And we did that a bit. I thought we were selfish with the ball.

“I thought we had guys open under the basket frequently, but we had guys focused on getting their own instead of getting an assist to a teammate.”

Slowly, though the crowd’s relaxed mood gave the feel of a game well in hand, the Vikings, led by 14 points from senior Preston Felgate, began to chip away in the third quarter.

It took a quick, 7-0 run by SM West to open the fourth quarter, which cut the lead to 52-44, for FSHS to finally dial back up the intensity.

“We definitely should never stop the energy,” Manning said. “That’s something we can always control. We can always keep up our defensive energy, and when we don’t play hard or together like we’ve been practicing, it shows.”

“It can be hard to keep your attention when you have a lead like that,” Law said. “But they sure made it interesting.”

Though the Firebirds seem to be coming together at the right time, they’ll need to put in a complete, start-to-finish

effort if they hope to knock off Olathe South on Friday.

“If we play selfishly and don’t play with more attention to detail — containing the dribble, help side defense — we’re going to be in for a long night,” Law said. “Because they’ll expose us all game long with their quickness.”

Shawnee Mission West 62, Free State High girls 45 The mostly young Free

State High girls basketball team still has a ways to go.

That much was apparent Tuesday night, when the Firebirds were topped by a savvy, experienced Shawnee Mission West bunch at FSHS. While the Firebirds missed a few open layups early, the Vikings capitalized, and rolled to a 16-1 lead they would never surrender.

“I think we just need to get a bit more pumped up and come out strong,” said sophomore Kennedy Kirkpatrick, who led FSHS (8-9) with 19 points and seven rebounds.

“As opposed to waiting around for something to happen.”

Though they trailed, 38-20 at the half, coach Bryan Duncan said his message at halftime was to “stay positive” and “play the way (we) play.”

The message worked, as the Firebirds, boosted by eight points from Kirkpatrick, controlled the third quarter and had whittled the lead down to 47-38 at the start of the fourth.

“I think we started to put a scare in them,” Duncan said.

“That third quarter is about as good as we can play.”

to start vs. TCU

By Ben Ward Journal-World Sports Writer

Kansas University fifthyear senior Wally Marciel’s realization was one that most pitchers make at one point or another during their careers.

When Marciel used to take the mound, simply rearing back and hurling the ball was enough to generate some pretty good results.

But after an elbow injury sidelined Marciel for nearly a year and a half, not to mention sapped him of some velocity, something clicked as he watched and learned from the bench.

“After Tommy John (surgery), it made me realize you can’t just throw the ball,” Marciel said. “You have to use your different pitches, you have to spot up a lot better.”

After the departures of a few key relievers from last year’s team, in particular lefty specialist Travis Blankenship, Marciel seemed ticketed for an increased role out of the bullpen — and rightfully so, as the sidearm dealing, left-hander went 2-1 with a 4. 26 earned-run average and 37 strikeouts in 28 appearances for KU last year.

Marciel had other ideas

though, instead eyeing a return to the starting rotation, where he went 8-7 in 17 starts during his freshman and sophomore seasons before his injury.

“Quite frankly, Wally has been really good,” coach Ritch Price said at media day on Tuesday afternoon after announcing Marciel will begin the season as KU’s Saturday starter.

KU opens its spring season Friday at 6:30 p.m. at No. 1 TCU in Fort Worth, Texas.

“And he’s earned the right to start.”

Attribute that to Marciel sharpening his craft. He spent the summer working on a changeup, which Price called “outstanding.”

“He’s throwing great,” Friday night starter T.J. Walz said. “He threw great in the fall and he’s thrown great in the spring. He’s a different pitcher than he was his freshman year.”

Marciel is committed to finishing off his career with a flourish, as he’s been arriving to the practice facility around 7:30 a.m. every day for additional workouts.

“My arm feels good,” Marciel said. “It feels lively and ready to go again.”

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -WORLD

New challenge added to Walk Kansas Q:

I’ve heard about Walk Kansas, but I really don’t know how it works. Can you explain it?

Cooking Q&A

A:

Walk Kansas is a team-based program that will help you and others lead a healthier life by being more active, making better nutrition choices and learning positive ways to deal with stress. This is a special year for Walk Kansas as we celebrate 10 years of healthy living. Last year, Douglas County had 492 individuals participate in Walk Kansas. Of the 85 teams, more than 83 percent were from workplaces. I’m hoping over 500 will join in the fun this year! Living healthfully is a lifestyle that we choose. It’s a lifetime journey, not something you do only for several weeks or months. Everyone needs a push now and then, or a spark to get started on a more healthful path, and that’s what Walk Kansas does — it motivates you.

This is how it works — coworkers, family members, friends and neighbors form teams of six people during the eight-week challenge, which starts March 13. Team members don’t even have to walk or be active together, even though it’s fun to buddy up.

New this year, each team will choose to work toward challenge 1 or challenge 2.

Challenge 1: Each participant reaches the minimum goal for physical activity — 2 1/2 hours of moderate/vigorous activity per week. Collectively over eight weeks, the team would walk 423 miles, which is the distance across the state of Kansas.

(Fifteen minutes of moderate or vigorous physical activity counts as one Walk Kansas mile.)

Challenge 2: Each participant logs six hours of moderate/vigorous activity per week. Collectively over eight weeks, the team would walk 1,200 miles, which is the distance around the perimeter of the state.

Participants log minutes of physical activity and fruits/vegetables consumed

each day, then report these weekly to their team captain. Captains report team totals each week. Progress of all teams in Douglas County (and throughout Kansas) can be viewed at www.walkkansas.org Q: Is walking the only activity that counts?

A: Walking is an activity that most people can do; however, any activity that is at a moderate or vigorous level (for at least 10 consecutive minutes) can count.

This could include activities such as swimming, jogging, bike riding, basketball, aerobic exercise, tennis, even pushing a lawnmower.

Strength and flexibility exercises, such as yoga, tai chi, working with resistance bands and strength training would also count.

For more information on Walk Kansas, go to our website at www.douglas.ksu.edu or call 843-7058 or e-mail me at skrumm@ksu.edu or Margaret Kalb at mkalb2@ksu.edu. The registration deadline is March 7 (however, late registrations will be accepted until 1 p.m.

March 25). The individual participant fee is $7, plus $2 for each additional family member living in the household. To encourage employers to support wellness, we are offering a $2 off discount per participant to workplaces who pay for their employees to participate in Walk Kansas.

Walk Kansas T-shirts are also available in three colors - paprika, sports gray and purple. They cost $6 per participant (size 2XL and larger cost $8).

Q: So does Walk Kansas really help individuals lead

a healthier lifestyle?

A: Definitely! From the evaluation survey completed in Douglas County at the end of Walk Kansas last year, 75 percent met the minimum goal for physical activity (150 minutes per week) during the challenge, and 62 percent of them were confident that they would continue this amount of physical activity over the next six months. Also, 76.5 percent increased the amount of fruit and/or vegetables that they ate each day.

Some of the physical/emotional changes reported by the participants: ● Increased energy (59.5 percent of participants) ● Increased muscle strength (33.5 percent) ● Increased endurance (44 percent) ● Increased flexibility (31 percent) ● Lower blood pressure (10.5 percent) ● Lower blood cholesterol (4.5 percent) ● Better diabetes control (4 percent) ● Better attitude (42.5 percent) ● Better able to manage stress (27.5 percent) ● Improved sleep (40.5 percent) ● Decreased weight (33 percent) Here’s a few of the personal success stories that were shared:: ● “Really loved building friendships with others at my worksite through Walk Kansas — and acquiring a few new gym buddies in the process!” ● “I was inspired last year with Walk Kansas and in the past year lost 65 pounds. I plan to lose 55 more. Thanks for the boost!” ● In order to exercise more, my husband and I got our bikes fixed. We ride daily now, and our son just loves it. Thanks for making me a better parent.” ● “I had been running and working out for several months prior to Walk Kansas. The program was just what I needed to rebuild my enthusiasm.” ● “Our office suite has worked as a team to exer-

cise, eat healthy and have healthy snacks such as fruits and vegetables. We plan to continue to do this.” ● “My 79 year old mother went to our team leader and commented that she was more confident in her walking ability and had better balance and more endurance.”

cream or a drizzle or raspberry sauce, if you’re into that kind of thing. ●

Mr. Meat and Potatoes also happens to love truffles, and usually I buy him a box at Valentine’s Day and eat most of them myself. This year, I decided that I’d make them myself since we were having this “homemade Valentine’s Day” thing, plus I’m cheap.

Rocking H owners sell cattle with source verification CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8B

but the angles don’t seem to fit when applied to the numbers they work with each day.

“We manage about 3,500 acres. Of that 3,500 acres, less than 1,500 of it is farmable or tillable,” says Mark Wulfkuhle, who adds that his cows get their water from a hand-dug well and stock ponds. “There’s a lot of talk about how we’re wasting this ground putting cattle on it, but it had buffalo on it before we were here, and it really doesn’t have any other real use, quite frankly.”

Another charge that doesn’t seem to square with them? The use of antibiotics in cattle. The Wulfkuhles do use antibiotics but are careful to acknowledge it’s not as if they’re running around the grounds with syringes.

“It’s no different than how you would take care of your child. We’re not going to put anything in there that’s detrimental to those cattle, we’re going to vaccinate them so that they don’t get sick,” Brenna Wulfkuhle says. “But we’re not just going to give them antibiotics to give them antibiotics, but we’re not going to let them suffer, either.”

Growing up with the herd On Rocking H Ranch, the cows are as much a part of the family as they are the

scenery. The ranch has between 400 and 500 mother cows, and just as many calves, born over the course of spring and fall calving seasons. Interspersed within the herd are 4-H cattle for the couple’s three daughters.

The girls’ lives aren’t that far off from either of their parents’ childhoods. Brenna Wulfkuhle grew up on a dairy farm south of Lawrence. Meanwhile, Mark’s grandfather began the family’s cattle business, and he grew up on the farm where he now lives.

After college, Mark came back to the farm with Brenna and worked for his folks until 1998. That year, his father died, and Mark took over the business, incorporating the operation and making his mother one of the majority shareholders.

That change resulted in a major shift in the operation: to the calf and cow model the Wulfkuhles now use.

Before, Rocking H had been buying young calves from other producers and then raising them to market weight on the farm.

The Wulfkuhles decided that those margins were a bit too slim and determined they’d have a better chance of keeping income steady for their growing family while keeping their operation small if they began raising cattle from birth. Mark explains that to continue the

“

When I was a kid, you could feed a small group of cows or a small group of animals and make enough money that you could pay your bills. Now, there’s very slim margins in it. So you have to be either extremely large or have a niche.”

— Mark Wulfkuhle, co-owner of Rocking H Ranch “value added” operation, Rocking H would’ve had to balloon its cattle population just to afford the overhead.

“There’s people that are really smart that can go out and figure out if I go out and buy a calf for X amount of dollars, and put X amount of dollars in feed in it, I only need to make $20, but I’d have to do 20,000 head to do that. Well, we didn’t have the money, I mean, we had the capacity to do 2,000 to 3,000 head and that was it,” he says. “So, we were looking at maybe making $50,000, which, as you can guess our overhead, it’s pretty high and it doesn’t cover a lot of overhead if you start only trying to make $50,000, for instance.”

He notes that these sorts of numbers are drastically different from when he was a child, when the business

was more profitable per cow.

“When I was a kid, you could feed a small group of cows or a small group of animals and make enough money that you could pay your bills,” he says. “Now, there’s very slim margins in it. So you have to be either extremely large or have a niche.”

Rocking H’s niche is in age and source verification.

Certain markets — Japan and South Korea, for instance — will only buy cattle that have been monitored from birth until 24 months of age. By paying for verification, the Wulfkuhles create a better market for their meat.

“It’s mainly because of the foot and mouth disease and BSE (bovine spongiform encephalopathy),” Brenna Wulfkuhle says. “And, supposedly, they’ve never found it in an animal younger than 24 months of age. So, they feel like if they’re younger than that, they’re (safer).”

The Wulfkuhles know that even this won’t satisfy conventional farming’s critics. But they hope that their operation can help contribute to an understanding of the realities of small operations largely lost in the folds of the worldwide food system.

“This is our livelihood,” Brenna Wulfkuhle says. “I mean, we’re good caretakers. If we don’t take care of

them, the impact’s huge on us, because our livelihood depends on us producing a good quality product. And if we’re not taking care of it and managing it proper-

ly, it’s going to hit our bottom line pretty hard in the end.”

Make this easy, crispy shrimp in honor of Mardi Gras

By Jim Romanoff

CRISPY SHRIMP WITH SPICY CAJUN SAUCE. These golden shrimp are served a sweet-and-spicy sauce made with hot pepper sauce, mayonnaise and honey, all spiked with a Cajun seasoning blend.

For The Associated Press

Start thinking about Mardi Gras, which is March 8, and it won’t be long before you’ve got shrimp on your mind.

The preparation of for these party-perfect crispy shrimp with spicy Cajun sauce is somewhat similar to how you might make Buffalo wings. Raw shrimp are dredged in a seasoned mixture of Wondra flour, cornstarch and beaten egg, which gets wonderfully crispy when deep-fried.

The golden shrimp are served with a sweet-andspicy sauce made with hot pepper sauce, mayonnaise and honey, all spiked with a Cajun seasoning blend. The results are as irresistible as a basket of hot wings and even better, there are no bothersome bones to get rid of.

MARK AND BRENNA WULFKUHLE run Rocking H Ranch in Berryton, where they raise beef cattle. MarkWulfkuhle says there are a lot of misconceptions right now about conventional meat production.

Rocking H owners carve profitable niche in small operation

By Sarah Henning sarah@lawrence.com

In recent years, the face of conventional cattle farming has been less about the farmer and more about the feedlot.

Popular documentaries like “Food, Inc.” and books like “The Omnivore’s Dilemma” have thrown conventional meat production into the spotlight, taking care to highlight the pollution, disease and germs associated with huge cattle operations.

But those in the business say that what’s missing from this picture are small, grain-finishing cattle operations.

The kind of family-run businesses that are the hallmark of the American dream.

Farms like Rocking H Ranch in Berryton.

Clearing things up A three-generation operation west of Lawrence, the farm manages between 800 and 1,000 cattle at any one time, selling them by the semi-truck load to big guns in the food industry like Tyson, as well as to local customers.

The couple behind Rocking H, Mark and Brenna Wulfkuhle, are more than aware of how conventional meat production has been perceived of late.

“I think there are a lot of misconceptions and untruths out there,” says Mark Wulfkuhle from an office building on his land, a cluster of rolling hills south of Stull that doesn’t look anything like the massive feedlots so discussed in foodie culture. The office is in a big metal building, but it’s a surprisingly homey place, with John Deere memorabilia on the walls and his and hers desks for Mark and Brenna.

Dressed in jeans and sweatshirts, they smile and settle into addressing the biggest knock they hear on what they do for a living — waste. Critics say that pound-per-pound cattle operations use up more water and more land than vegetable farming and hurt a food system struggling to find a way to feed a booming world population at a reasonable price.

The Wulfkuhles have heard the logic,

Boring brownies upgraded to molten lava cakes T

he only dessert Mr. Meat and Potatoes will eat is a pan of brownies. But, as I’ve said before, I get tired of making brownies. I doctor them up every way I can think, and still, ugh, it’s another brownie. So this year for Valentine’s Day we decided to forgo the expensive flowers and the long waits for fancy dinners in restaurants to treat ourselves at home. Since I make dinner every night, Mr. Meat and Potatoes said he’d plan, shop for and cook a meal, which to me is the best gift he could ever get me. And I said I’d make dessert, which I never do, seeing as I’m tired of brownies and because I’m sort of dieting.

“THE FLYING FORK”

a blog by Megan Stuke And, because it’s his only Valentine present, I decided to do brownies. Only I could not bring myself to do brownies. What’s like a brownie, only not, only better? Molten Lava Cakes, that’s what.

I tend to resist anything that gets

too much hype, is too popular or trendy, so, true to my usual form, I waited until the big Molten Lava Cake frenzy of 2009 was over and decided only now to first try my hand at making them. I figured they were perfect for my husband, who likes brownies and really all things chocolate because they are sort of a special improvement over the usual, and he’s easily impressed by things like melted chocolate pouring out of the middle of his cake.

He’d think I slaved forever over them, although they’re really super simple. And that is my favorite kind of recipe.

So, without further adieu:

MEGAN’S MOLTEN LAVA LOVE CAKES 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips (not quite a whole bag) 4 tablespoon butter, room temperature 2 blocks unsweetened baker’s chocolate 1 tablespoon cocoa powder 3 tablespoons milk or half and half 1/2 cup sugar 1/3 cup flour 1 tablespoon vanilla 3 eggs Powdered sugar

First, preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Liberally grease 6 muffin tins and dust them with sugar.

Chop up the baker’s chocolate finely and melt it with the chocolate chips. Add the three tablespoons of milk when the chocolate seems too thick and stiff.

Then cream the butter and sugar together, then add in the eggs one at a time. Next, add the vanilla and the salt. Finally, add the flour and blend on low speed until just mixed in.

Finally, pour in the chocolate and again, mix just until mixed together.

Don’t overbeat.

Pour into the muffin tins and bake for 8-10 minutes.

Serve with whipped cream or ice Please see TRUFFLES, page 6B

With 22 seasons under its rustic belt, “Survivor” (7 p.m., CBS) offers a new wrinkle in the formula. For years, getting eliminated meant just that. It was Paradise Lost, a goodbye wave to media Eden as the acrid smoke of your extinguished tribalcouncil torch singed your nostrils and stung your tear-stained cheeks.

Now there’s “Survivor: Redemption Island.” That’s the adjacent domain where the recently rejected get the chance to return, restrategize and revive their chances for the $2 million prize. But it’s no picnic. Contestants doomed to Redemption Island must defeat those who arrive after them in a duel. So like the fate of any gladiator, victory only ensures the opportunity to fight again. And again.

For some, “Survivor” has always been a metaphor for a savagely Darwinian pop culture — survival of the fittest and all that. Now, under the thin veneer of “redemption,” they get to double the dose of desperation in each episode.

If this succeeds, you can only imagine further flung islands of purgatorial play.

Will there be an Island of Third Chances?

And is that anywhere near the Island of Misfit Toys?

The possibilities for spinoffs are endless.

While we’re on that subject, “Criminal Minds” has spawned “Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior” (9 p.m., CBS. Forest Whitaker heads up an impressive cast that includes Janeane Garofalo, Michael Kelly, Beau Garrett, Matt Ryan and Kirsten Vangsness. And look for “West Wing” star Richard Schiff (who also appears in the current PBS miniseries “Any Human Heart”) as FBI director Jack Fickler.

With “Suspect Behavior,” we have arrived at a juncture where seven hours of CBS prime-time programming is comprised of franchise series (three “CSIs,” two helpings of “NCIS” and twice the “Criminal Minds”) and their offshoots.

That’s a full third a 21-hour weekly schedule. Actually more than a third, considering how Saturdays offers two hours of repeats.

Why stop there? Spin off the whole schedule. Can we envision “How I Met Your Grandmother” in our future? Or “(An Even Bigger) Big Bang Theory”? “The Good Second Wife”? “Hawaii 6-O”? And for reasons outside of their control, CBS may have to gear up for another sequel: “One and a Half Men.” ● If Anthony Bourdain can extol cuisine on the Travel Channel, why can’t Jamie Oliver travel on the Cooking Channel? The British kitchen star looks for interesting meals in Europe and Africa on “Jamie’s Food Escapes” (7 p.m., Cooking).

Tonight’s other highlights ● Now in Hollywood, contestants vie for the top 20 on “American Idol” (7 p.m., Fox). ● Clown time is over on “Modern Family” (8 p.m., ABC). ● Debra Messing (“Will & Grace”) guest stars as the host of a TV series dedicated to finding predators on “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” (9 p.m., NBC). ● Vandals trash the clinic on “Off the Map” (9 p.m., ABC). ● Raylan chases a pregnant suspect on “Justified” (9 p.m., FX).

Singer Patty Andrews is 93. Kim Jong Il, the president of North Korea, is 69.

something so personal is put into cyberspace and broadcast to everyone is, unfortunately, a common occurrence these days among young people who have no concept of privacy (or good taste).

NEW BIBLE Jumble Books Go To: http://www.tyndale.com/jumble/

Dear Annie: My husband and I are in our early 40s.

We’ve been married for 13 years and have two young, beautiful, healthy children that I thank God for every day.

After many years of marriage, I found out quite unexpectedly that my husband has been a drug user on and off for a long time. It came out when he finally went for help. Due to the drugs, we lost everything. We had to uproot our children from the only home they’ve known in order to find a more affordable place to live. His drug use has put the family in a lot of pain and turmoil, and he vowed he would never use again. For a while, everything seemed good. But it didn’t last.

We are a month behind in our rent, and I fear my husband is using again. He does not come home for days at a time and forgets to call. When he shows up, there’s always some lame excuse about where he’s been and where the money went.

I will not argue in front of the children, and talking to him hasn’t helped. I am scared for our security and his health. I can’t take the lies anymore. He refuses help and insists he’s not using. I have no other family and cannot support us on my own. I fear for our future and don’t know what to do. — Desperate
