Lawmakers want regents to consider privatization Committee says it might save money to turn some university jobs over to private sector

TOPEKA — The House Appropriations Committee on Tuesday approved a provision that

McLeland said he wants the regents to study whether to pri-

For example, he said, there are hotel chains that are experts in housing. Perhaps, he said,

dorms could be sold or leased to them.

CATHY WALES PICKS UP HER DAUGHTER, Kylee Wales, 7, a first-grader at Wakarusa Valley School Tuesday. Wales built her home a mile from the school more than 25 years ago and has two other children, 31 and 25, who attended the school.

Wakarusa Valley is being recommended for closure next year.

Prospect of Wakarusa Valley closure upsets many parents

By Mark Fagan mfagan@ljworld.com

ONLINE: See the video at LJWorld.com

The recommendation to close Wakarusa Valley School was formed during the past eight months, as two dozen members of the Lawrence school district community discussed values, gathered data, compiled numbers, toured buildings, studied budgets and reviewed research to determine what they considered “best for kids” within painful budget restraints.

Could’ve fooled Mary Anne Blackwood.

“This is a wonderful school,” said Blackwood, picking up her two grandkids Tuesday afternoon at Wakarusa Valley, 1104 E. 1000 Road.

“They won’t do as well next year.

They won’t do as well when they get moved into town and get crowded into those schools.”

And as for the nearly $500,000 the district would expect to save next year by closing the school: “I don’t think we’ll get our money’s worth out

of this trade,” she said.

Such sentiments weren’t all that unusual Tuesday, a day after members of the Lawrence Elementary School Facility Vision Task Force identified a single school that should be closed in the district during the next five years: Wakarusa Valley, which has about 165 students.

Task force members did name six schools to be considered for future consolidation — Cordley, Hillcrest, Kennedy, New York, Pinckney and Sunset Hill — but that shift would come within three to five years, and only if the district passed a bond issue, and only after parents and teachers and administrators and others had been given a chance to huddle and discuss and determine what might work best for the kids, the neighborhoods, the institutions involved.

Wakarusa parents, meanwhile, will watch their school be recommended formally for closure Monday night, when board members receive the task force recommendation. Then they’ll await the formal decision, expected in March or April.

At any point, they can check in with

respective principals at the schools the kids would be transferring to: ● Students living in rural Lawrence would go to Broken Arrow. ● Students living in Easy Living Mobile Home Park, behind SuperTarget, would go to Sunflower. ● Some students now attending Broken Arrow — and living along the east side of Kasold, between Clinton Parkway and 31st Street — would attend Schwegler.

“I’m in shock,” said Cathy Wales, mother of 7-year-old Kylee. “I built a mile south of here for this school. I don’t know what I’m going to do now.

I don’t like open classrooms (like those at Broken Arrow). I don’t think she’s going to do that well out there.

I’m still totally in shock.”

Rick Doll, district superintendent, said he would expect the school to be “mothballed” and kept within the district so that it could be opened at some point in the future, if necessary.

The district owns the building and land.

3 lead in money race for City Hall

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

In the race for three seats on the Lawrence City Commission, a trio of candidates have broken out to a clear lead when it comes to fundraising.

Candidates Mike Dever, Hugh Carter and Bob Schumm each had raised more than $13,000 for their campaigns through mid-February — according to new campaign finance reports — while the two remaining candidates in the field had raised less than half that amount.

Dever, the lone incumbent in the race, led the way. He raised $13,145 during the Jan. 1 through Feb. 17 fundraising period. That is in addition to about $1,800 he raised in December.

“So far, I believe the campaign is

Carter

going well,” said Dever, who owns an environmental consulting firm. “It is an unfortunate situation that campaigns cost this much. But advertising is expensive, and it is important to try to engage the voters. That’s the one good thing about spending the money.

It helps engage the voters.”

Carter, a Lawrence financial adviser, has the second highest overall total, but his fundraising pace slowed considerably after the first of the year. Carter raised $3,110 from Jan. 1 through Feb. Schumm 17. That was the fourth lowest total out of the field of five. But Carter had raised $10,900 before the beginning of the year. With the two combined, his fundraising totals are the second highest in the field.

Brewery to host Maddow show ——

Popular news program to broadcast tonight from Free State

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

Free State Brewery will host a broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” today, the restaurant’s owner said.

Chuck Magerl, owner of Free State Brewery, 636 Mass., said he didn’t know why the show chose to film at the restaurant, except that it would feature an interview with someone from the region.

“We’re the site; they’re the show,” Magerl said.

The left-leaning political commentator has been focusing on former anti-abortion Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline’s ethics hearings in Topeka and has done numerous stories on the issue.

A spokeswoman for the show said in an e-mail that the show will also be following up on its coverage of Wichita abortion provider George Tiller’s murder.

At the brewery, much of today will be devoted to setting up for the show, said Magerl, who added that he learned about the show’s interest in the location on Tuesday afternoon.

“We know that it’s going to be a pretty hectic time,” he said.

Though the restaurant will remain open, Magerl said the company wasn’t using the show as a way to promote its business, and wasn’t seeking to have a large crowd for the occasion.

The one-hour show airs at 8 p.m. on MSNBC. “I think they’ll be disappointed,” he said of people who might show up and hope to be included.

The show’s taping also coincides with the brewery’s birthday. A promotion that gave discounts for the birthday parties of people who share the same birthday will also be valid on Thursday, the restaurant announced.

With all the activity surrounding Maddow’s presence, Wednesday promises to be an interesting day, he said.

“We’re certainly trying to make a good presentation of Kansas on the airwaves, and that’s what we hope to do,” Magerl said.

amendment. She said residence halls are more than places for students to sleep.

They are homes for students where they participate in programs and can receive help.

“Sometimes, privatizing will not quite do that,” she said.

But state Rep. Peggy Mast, R-Emporia, supported doing a study, noting the state’s financial problems. Kansas faces an estimated $492 million revenue shortfall in the next fiscal year.

“Kansas is beginning to wake up and realize that things have changed,” Mast said. “Our economy is not as affluent. It’s time we open our eyes and realize we need to look for savings.”

Some Republicans on the committee opposed McLeland’s proposal because they wanted the study to be done by an outside party, not the regents, which oversees higher education.

McLeland’s amendment was close to dying on a 9-9 vote, but Appropriations Chairman Marc Rhoades, RNewton, broke the tie to put the proposal in the budget bill.

Under the amendment, the regents would have to report the results of the study to the 2012 Legislature.

Rahm Emanuel elected Chicago mayor Former White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel was elected mayor of Chicago on Tuesday, easily overwhelming five rivals to take the helm of the nation’s third-largest city as it prepares to chart a new course without the retiring Richard M. Daley.

With 97 percent of the precincts reporting, Emanuel had trounced five opponents with 55 percent of the vote — a margin that allowed him to avoid an April runoff. He needed more than 50 percent of the vote to win outright.

It was the city’s first mayoral race in more than 60 years without an incumbent on the ballot and the first in more than two decades without Daley among the candidates. Daley and his father have led Chicago for more than 43 out of the last 56 years.

Emanuel called the victory “humbling� and thanked Daley for his lifetime of service, saying the outgoing mayor had “earned a special place in our hearts and our history.�

Panel endorses liquor sales bill

A pirate fired a rocket-propelled grenade at a U.S. Navy destroyer shadowing a hijacked yacht with four Americans aboard Tuesday. Then gunfire erupted, the military said. U.S. special forces rushed to the yacht only to find the four Americans fatally wounded.

The experienced yacht enthusiasts from California and Washington are the first Americans killed by Somali pirates since the start of attacks off East Africa several years ago. One of the American couples on board had been sailing around the world since 2004 handing out Bibles.

Their deaths appeared to underscore an increasingly brutal and aggressive shift by pirates in their treatment of hostages.

Killing hostages “has now become part of our rules,� said a pirate who identified himself as Muse Abdi and referred to last week’s sentencing of a pirate to 33 years in prison for the 2009 attack on the U.S. cargo vessel the Maersk Alabama.

Parents lose appeal in vaccine case

TOPEKA — Kansas would phase in the sale of full-strength beer, wine and liquor in grocery and convenience stores by 2017 under a bill endorsed Tuesday by a state Senate committee.

The Federal and State Affairs Committee rewrote the legislation before approving it, to slow down what would be historic changes in liquor laws that have set Kansas apart from many other states. The committee’s voice vote sent the measure to the Senate for debate, which could occur as early as Friday.

Senators tried to balance the long-standing desire of grocery and convenience store owners to expand what they can sell, starting next year, against liquor store owners’ worries that changing the law will allow large retail chains to drive them out of business. Backers of expanded sales still saw the committee’s action as a significant victory, while liquor store owners still appeared upset.

State law allows grocery and convenience stores to sell “cereal malt beverage,� also known as “weak� or “low-point� beer.

Kansas is one of only five states to make such a distinction about beer based on the alcohol content of the brew, and it’s often seen as a reflection of the dry heritage in a state well-known for Carrie Nation’s saloon smashing.

Supporters argue a change in liquor laws will create new jobs and generate revenues for the state, as well as help struggling rural grocery stores and stores in some border counties. “I’m excited that it’s going to

Q:

My two favorite Jayhawks of all time are Drew Gooden and Thomas Robinson and they both wear the same unusual number: 0. Isn’t that ironic?

Anyway, I was wondering what other players in KU history have worn that number.

A:

Actually, that’s not ironic. It’s coincidental, provided it wasn’t the jersey number that drew you to these players, in which case it would be neither ironic nor coincidental. Anyway, they are the only two players in KU history to wear that number. There have been six players who have worn 00 for LAWRENCE all our parts of their careers: Darrell Arthur, Norm Cook, Wilmore Fowler, Hasan Houston, Jim Husser and Greg Ostertag.

BRIEFLY Second man stands trial in armed robbery A Douglas County jury Tuesday afternoon began hearing evidence in the case of a Kansas City, Mo., man accused of taking part in a 2010 Lawrence robbery.

Prosecutors accuse 30-yearold Matthew Thomas Garren of pointing a gun at the back of a 20-year-old Lawrence man’s head the night of Jan. 19, 2010, during a robbery. Ronald Broschart, 23, was convicted last year of one count of robbery in the case and sentenced to 44 months in prison.

Garren’s defense attorney, Napoleon Crews, questioned the credibility of witnesses and the victim in the case and what they told police about his client’s involvement. “(Garren) was not there to rob anyone,� Crews told jurors.

The victim in the case, 22year-old Lonnie Schaefer, testified Tuesday that he had met up with Broschart that night because he thought he was going to buy marijuana.

He got into a van that later pulled over in the 1500 block of Haskell Avenue and said Broschart pulled a gun and demanded Schaefer’s wallet before they took more than $1,600 from him. He also said

he felt someone put an object he assumed was a gun against the back of his head.

Schaefer faces aggravated robbery and aggravated arson charges in a separate case because prosecutors accuse him of participating in a Dec. 13 armed robbery at Walmart, 3300 Iowa.

End of Life discussion set for March 2 The Kaw Valley Older Women’s League will host a panel discussion about end-oflife choices.

The meeting is open to the community and will be at 2 p.m. March 2 in Lawrence Public Library auditorium, 707 Vt. Panelists include Linda Upstill, chairwoman of the Coalition to Honor End-of-Life Choices; Terrie Kaiser, director of the palliative care program at Lawrence Memorial Hospital; Lucas Houk, Midland Hospice Care community liaison; Dr. Richard Sosinski, medical director for Douglas County Visiting Nurses, Rehabilitation and Hospice Care and a member of the LMH palliative care consulting team.

Kaw Valley Seeds Project Fair to feature seed exchange, education The second annual Kaw Valley Seeds Project Fair is Saturday.

The free community event will be from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Building 21 at the Douglas County Fairgrounds, 2110 Harper St. It will include more than 40 exhibitors and speakers. They will offer educational information, gardening products and local farm produce.

commission approval for two other downtown events.

They are: ● A long jump competition from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. April 21.

The 100 block of West Eighth Street, basically between Massachusetts and Vermont streets, will be closed to accommodate a long jump pit and spectator area. ● A one-mile run from 5:30 p.m. to 5:45 p.m. on April 21.

be on the Senate floor and everybody’s going to get into the debate,” said Brenda Elsworth, operations director for Pete’s Convenience Stores, which operates 24 stores in southeast Kansas.

Liquor store owners argue the main beneficiaries of the change will be big, out-ofstate retail chains. Kansas law now limits liquor licenses to people who’ve lived in the state for at least four years, with an individual allowed to own a single store. Those restrictions would be removed under the bill.

“It takes everything that we do right now, currently, keeping our businesses in Kansas, and gives it to corporations,” said Steve Nelson, who owns Brown Bag Liquor in Olathe.

“Money’s going to go out of the state.”

Under the bill, liquor stores would continue to hold special licenses allowing them to sell liquor, along with full-strength beer and wine.

The number of such licenses, now 762, couldn’t increase statewide from July 1 through Dec. 31, 2016.

But if a liquor store gave up

There also will be a music stage, children’s activities and a raffle for various gardeningrelated prizes.

There will be a seed exchange at a central table, where gardeners can drop off garden seeds they will not use, including seeds produced in their home gardens as well as

purchased seeds. Anyone may obtain free seeds at the seed exchange table.

The event is co-sponsored by the Kaw Valley Seeds Project, a sub-group of the Kansas Area Watershed Council, and the Douglas County Extension Master Gardeners.

For a schedule of speakers and special activities, visit WellCommons.com.

The course will begin in the 700 block of New Hampshire street, travel south to 11th Street, over to Vermont Street and end near the Lawrence Public Library in the 700 block of Vermont.

The race will feature several elite mile-runners, but also will be open to the general public.

All three events will impact traffic in downtown.

The shot put event will close the intersection of Eighth and New Hampshire streets from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. The long jump event will close the 100

block of West Eighth Street from 11 a.m. on April 21 to 6 a.m. on April 22.

The mile race will close portions of the 700 blocks of Vermont and New Hampshire streets from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., but the race route will be open to traff ic except when there are runners going through the area. Parking along the race route, though, will be prohibited from about 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.

its license, a grocery or convenience store could try to obtain it from the state, and a liquor store owner could agree to sell a license.

Starting in 2017, there’d be no restrictions on the number of liquor licenses the state could issue, opening liquor stores to competition from grocery and convenience stores.

In theory, the delay gives liquor store owners time to negotiate a deal with a grocery or convenience store owner or retail chain if they don’t think they’ll be able to compete. But many liquor store owners expect retail chains to simply wait out the transition period and then move into the business.

As originally drafted, the bill would have permitted grocery and convenience stores to start selling full-strength beer and wine Jan. 1.

It would have allowed them to pick up the right to sell liquor if a liquor store closed or sold its liquor license, then

removed restrictions on the number of liquor licenses in 2015.

“The committee chose to make it more slow-moving in its effect,” said Chairman Pete Brungardt, a Salina Republican. “I think the committee was treading carefully on changing existing circumstances in the business world.”

Some committee members still think the measure goes too far.

“The people who currently own liquor stores in the state of Kansas, I think it’s likely to bankrupt them, put them out of business,” said Sen. Steve Abrams, an Arkansas City Republican.

But supporters argued the changes ultimately will bring greater competition and benefit consumers.

“This bill from the beginning has been about consumer choice and competition, and I think any time that we’re having a healthy debate and dialogue, it moves that forward,” Elsworth said.

Salary strategy Salary cuts are not a one-size-fits-all solution for the state budget deficit.

T

he Kansas Board of Regents has a valid objection to legislation that would arbitrarily cut the salaries of about 1,500 state university employees.

As part of its effort to trim the current year’s budget, the Kansas House has approved a bill that would cut 7.5 percent from the salaries for legislators, state officers, judges and regents employees who make more than $100,000 per year.

The strategy is an improvement over the plan for a 7.5 percent across-the-board cut for all state employees, but it still will have some highly undesirable consequences. The regents’ primary concern is for top researchers, including some who have been hired by the Kansas University Medical Center as part of its pursuit of National Cancer Center status.

These researchers draw large salaries for a reason, and if Kansas isn’t willing to make good on those salaries, it’s a good bet that some other state will. One faculty member cited as an example last week is a distinguished professor of medicinal chemistry who has brought nearly $3 million in grants to KU. If a 7.5 percent salary reduction resulted in the loss of the professor and millions of dollars of grant funds, the state is the big loser.

Legislators need to recognize that cutting salaries is not a one-size-fits-all solution to the budget deficit. If salary cuts are a necessary part of the budget-balancing plan, legislators need to work with the state entities involved to make sure those cuts are applied in a way that doesn’t damage key state interests.

Egypt could foster Mideast democracy CAIRO — While rebellions are erupting all over the Middle East, it is the continuing Egyptian revolution that will determine which direction the Arab world takes.

After spending Friday in Tahrir Square, where hundreds of thousands of Egyptians were jubilantly celebrating the fall of President Hosni Mubarak, and talking to a broad section of people involved in his downfall, I can see how Egypt’s revolt might produce a democracy that delivers for the people. And if Egypt succeeds, the whole region would have a better chance.

The Tunisian revolt inspired Egyptians, but little Tunisia would not have ignited the entire region had the Egypt revolution faltered. Egypt, on the other hand, has 80 million people and a history that goes back 6,000 years. It has historically led the Arab world, in politics, and in culture, especially with its movies, authors, and singers.

Egyptians call their country “Mother of the World.” But over the last 30 years under Mubarak, the country has stagnated — a narrow sliver grew rich while the economy faltered — and failed to provide jobs for the younger generation, even those with university degrees.

As many young people told me on the square, what hurt them most was not their economic plight, but the daily humiliations they suffered. Constantly at the

mercy of secret police, they watched Mubarak’s cronies feed at the government trough while they earned peanuts and rigged elections prevented political change. Now, there is a rush of national pride at the fact that the Egyptian grass roots made this revolution, by itself.

As the conga lines of young men and women snaked through Tahrir Square holding huge Egyptian flags and singing, “Hold your head up, we are Egyptians,” I realized that this country has regained its mojo. Once again, the people of the region are looking to Cairo. If Egypt, whose size and human capital overshadow countries such as Yemen or Bahrain,

can move toward representative government, it would become the role model for the Arab world.

However, despite the hoopla, I did not find the organizers of this revolt — architects, doctors, journalists, engineers, lawyers by training — to be naive. They know the obstacles they face, including an economy in free fall as tourism tanks.

The military — still hugely popular — has taken control of the country, supposedly for six months. During this time, the constitution will be amended to enable fair elections; an interim president will be elected, and possibly a new parliament as well.

But in conversations in dingy off ice buildings, and in the square, I heard much debate over whether six months is enough time to set up new political parties and develop civic awareness.

The Mubarak regime crushed independent political life while letting Muslim Brotherhood candidates run; this permitted it to claim that the only alternative to its rule was the Islamists.

So, Egyptians must build new parties, which will take time (but they also worry that giving the military more time may encourage it to keep power).

Wael Nawara, a shrewd strategist for the small El Ghad Party (led by activist Ayman Nour), told me that holding elections before developing civic life was like “having the exam without

Facts ignored To the editor: Your editorial (Feb. 19) about the budget protests in Wisconsin ignores two vital facts. First, Gov. Walker himself, through executive initiatives he made in his first days of office, bears much of the responsibility for Wisconsin’s budget shortfall. Second, according to the state’s own budget office, the austerity measures Gov. Walker is proposing are not even fiscally necessary. For the Journal-World to omit these facts is misleading, and to label Gov. Walker’s cynical actions as “courage” is troubling.

Pothole push

early two feet of snow has melted this year, leaving a lot of puddles in its wake, but it seems that not as many of those puddles are camouflaging potholes on Lawrence streets.

There are noticeably fewer potholes, those gouges in the roadway caused by snow plows, moisture, freezing cold then warming temperatures. Sure, potholes are out there — the city reports it fixed more than 400 potholes last week — but it’s not like last year.

Officials say sustained cold weather eliminated some of the freeze-and-thaw cycles that cause potholes, but part of the credit for the improved condition of Lawrence streets also may be attributable to the city’s purchase of a $168,000 piece of equipment that allows road crews to spray a chip seal-like substance into potholes. The method, which is used by the Kansas Department of Transportation and other larger cities in the state, is faster, requires fewer workers and provides a longer-lasting fix.

So far, it seems like a good investment.

Now, if we could just do something about the potholes in private parking lots.

first having the learning process.”

First, he says, Egypt needs to develop political parties and free media. It also needs to encourage its citizens — who are used to taking orders from the top — to participate in political life.

Meantime, activists worry that the disgraced party of Mubarak, whose members have vast assets, may make a comeback under another name. And the Muslim Brotherhood, already wellorganized, has a head start over other new political groups. (I will write more about the Brotherhood in another column.)

Yet many activists echo the argument of well-known blogger Ahmad Badawy, who believes that, if the political system opens up, the Brotherhood would win only a minority of the ballots. He says the current low voter turnout will explode as motivated youths go to the polls and vote for new options. “A lot of young people are thinking of creating a party of our own or a coalition of all liberal parties,” he said.

It is this new political energy at the grass roots that makes me believe Egypt has the potential to build an electoral system in which people have real choices. The road will be very bumpy, with inevitable setbacks. But Egypt could (with luck) become the democratic “mother” to the Arab world.

Simple solution

Wis. governor should stand firm When three-fourths of the Boston police department went on strike in 1919, leading to broken shop windows and looting, thenMassachusetts Governor Calvin Coolidge called out the state militia and broke the strike. Coolidge declared, “There is no right to strike against the public safety by anybody, anywhere, any time.”

His courage propelled him to the vice presidency and eventually to the presidency.

Fast forward to Aug. 3, 1981, when the Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization (PATCO) called a strike over better working conditions, better pay and a 32-hour work week. In doing so, the union violated a law that banned strikes by government unions. Ronald Reagan declared the PATCO strike a “peril to national safety” and ordered them back to work under terms of the Taft-Hartley Act of 1947. Only 1,300 of the nearly 13,000 controllers returned to work. Subsequently, Reagan demanded those remaining on strike to resume work within 48 hours, or forfeit their jobs. On Aug. 5, following the PATCO workers’ refusal to return to work, Reagan fired the 11,345 striking air traffic controllers who had ignored the order and banned them from federal service for life. Pro-labor Democratic president Bill Clinton rescinded this ban in 1993.

Now it’s the turn of Wisconsin Republican Governor Scott Walker. So far, the 43-year-old governor, in office less than two months, has stood his ground against schoolteachers who called in sick (nice example for the kids) and other union members — many of them bussed into

Madison from outside the state.

When the federal government runs out of money, it can print and borrow more. When states run out of money they must cut spending to balance their budgets, or raise taxes.

The days of constant increases in pay and benefits — including expanding pensions — are over, not only in Wisconsin, but also in many other states.

One pro-union demonstrator in Madison carried a sign: “This is what democracy looks like.” No, the last election is what democracy looks like. Gov. Walker and the new Republican state legislators ran on platforms to reduce the state’s debt. They are refreshingly living up to their promises. If voters decide they don’t like their methods for getting out of debt, they can vote Republicans out of office in the next election.

“We won” and “elections have consequences,” crowed President Obama as he and his oncesolid Democratic congressional majority pushed through legislation that polls show most Americans oppose. Republicans seem to be getting more support now in their quest to force us to live within our means.

This is the Republican Party’s moment. More Americans are coming to a “Prodigal Son”

understanding of our financial predicament. In the biblical account, a young man leaves his father’s house and squanders his inheritance on riotous living.

When he runs out of money, the son finds himself in a hog pen, eating pig food. It says, “He came to his senses.” Wisconsin residents and the nation are coming to our senses in the face of massive public debt.

If Wisconsin’s Democratic legislators stop playing political theater, come back to Madison from their hiding places in Illinois and fulfill their responsibilities as elected officials, perhaps a solution to the standoff can be worked out.

Appearing on “Fox News Sunday,” Walker said 10,000 to 12,000 of the state’s nearly 300,000 government workers would likely lose their jobs if changes weren’t made in benefit contributions paid by union members. The unions have said they are willing to make some concessions, but Walker has rejected their offer as insufficient.

Democrats in Wisconsin may be overplaying their hand, just as congressional Democrats may be overplaying their hand with threats to shutdown the federal government if Republicans don’t see things their way.

Standing firm and having the courage of one’s convictions worked before. So far, Gov. Walker has stood firm and explained what he is doing and why. If he doesn’t cave, perhaps he might be the national leader Republicans have been looking for, either now, or in the near future. It worked for Coolidge and Reagan.

To the editor: It appears the homeless center will continue to be “homeless” itself for some time. Its special use permit expires in April. It wouldn’t surprise me if, with the previous objections from the neighbors and spring just around the corner, city commissioners might just say “it’s time” and put everyone out on the streets, parks, alleys, riverbanks, etc., where a lot of them are already.

The shelter’s attempt to move to the business park next to the Douglas County Jail was illadvised. Police and sheriff’s cars enter from the northeast corner of the jail, not 50 feet from the vacant warehouse proposed for the shelter. Pretty soon, the jail would be the “homeless center annex.”

I would agree that the business park covenants don’t allow a “homeless park.” The judge is correct that the homeless shelter doesn’t have “standing” to sue. I don’t understand how it got that far.

Loring Henderson, John Tacha and the board of directors are all great people. They deserve our thanks and gratitude. But to me the answer is so simple. I’m referring to the vacant warehouse/ office/industrial space at Ninth and Delaware. There are plenty of existing buildings currently empty. The location used to be on the bus route, but is only a block away. The location is close to downtown services, and the property is for sale.

Makes sense to me. Clean up a long-neglected area in the middle of town instead of the middle of a cornfield. Everyone would seem to win.

CITY BOWLING SHOWDOWN

Reed earns academic distinction

Walthall barely misses perfection; Free State sweeps LHS

By Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

These were no rat clubs competing Tuesday afternoon at Royal Crest Lanes, where the city’s best high school bowlers gathered for a dual between Free State and the host, Lawrence High. Strikes and ringing ten-burners abounded.

Barely a sour apple was thrown all day.

When the talent level is high, expectations tend to keep pace. So when Free State senior Justin Walthall opened with a four-bagger in his second game, nobody in the house seemed to think much of it. It was just Walthall throwing rocks again. When Walthall put his sixth consecutive “X” on the

WORLD CO. CUP After Free State’s victory, which school is ahead in the World Company Cup standings, Lawrence High or Free State? Page 4B sheet, McKenzie Dever, bowling the next lane over, remembered to zip it.

A bowler beyond the halfway point of a potential perfect game is treated with the same reverent distance as a pitcher in pursuit of a no-hitter. Nobody wants to jinx them.

“Usually you don’t say anything, but I’ve kind of have a bad trend of accidentally saying something

like, ‘Oh, six strikes in a row. Good job.’ And then they miss it in their seventh,” Dever said. “It’s kind of bad luck. I learned my lesson. I didn’t say anything today and I think it paid off, so that was good.”

Walthall again blew a rack in the seventh frame. Now passers-by took notice. Some spectators reflexively took a step or two backwards, as if to protect the vibes surrounding the accomplished lefty bowler. Then came the eighth consecutive strike, not a garbage hit among them.

He had spot-bowled his way — aiming for the 14th board, between the second and third arrows from the left — to eight strikes down and four to go.

Conversations grew softer,

again out of respect for Walthall’s cone of karma. The late Howard Cosell, wherever he was at the moment, could almost be heard bellowing, “He ... could ... go ... all ... the ... way.” No bench work whatsoever. This is a friendly rivalry, particularly in bowling because most of the players see each other during league play Saturday mornings. Besides, everybody wanted to witness a slice of bowling history because to witness something is to take an ownership share of it.

Walthall took his seat. Nick Conrad, Free State’s co-anchor, did what he had been doing every frame, exchanging light banter Please see FSHS, page 4B

FSHS girls snap three-game slide

COACH BRYAN DUNCAN GIVES INSTRUCTIONS to the Firebirds during a timeout on Tuesday.

OVERLAND PARK — A few easy and early baskets proved to be the perfect remedy for the Free State High girls basketball team’s losing streak on Tuesday night.

The Firebirds raced to an early lead and never trailed a ga i n s t S h aw n e e M i ss i o n North (5-14), rolling to a 53-39

victory to snap a three-game slide.

“The crazy thing about basketball is we’ve lost three in a row and have probably played our best basketball of the season,” Free State coach Bryan Duncan said.

Led by 18 points, six rebounds and five assists from Kennedy Kirkpatrick, the Firebirds (9-10) started 7-for-10 from the field

behind good ball movement and crisp passes.

Chelsea Casady chipped in 10 points and Lynn Robinson added nine points and seven rebounds for FSHS, which took a 29-13 lead to halftime.

The Indians, in the third quarter’s opening minutes, went on a 10-1 run to trim the lead to 30-24.

LEAVENWORTH 70, LAWRENCE HIGH BOYS 49

LHS boys pounded by Pioneers

By Clark Goble Journal-World Sports Writer

L E A V E N W O R T H — Lawrence High boys basketball coach Mike Lewis didn’t try to sugarcoat his team’s 70-49 drubbing on Tuesday at Leavenworth.

“We were just bad tonight,” Lewis said.

The Lions didn’t show much

energy before the game, perhaps a product of standing and waiting for the Pioneers’ long Senior Night ceremony to end.

Things didn’t get much better when the game started. After senior Garrett Wagner tried to enter the game early in the opening quarter, the scorekeeper realized that Wagner wasn’t listed in the scorebook.

The Lawrence bench was assessed a technical, and you could almost feel the energy leaving the gym.

“When you start so slow and you make a boneheaded move like that, you’re asking for trouble,” Lewis said.

The Pioneers led, 14-4, after a

Tyrel Reed, who is the only Kansas University basketball player to have started all 28 games during the 2010-11 season, has proven as steady in the classroom as on the court.

The 6-foot-3 senior from Burlington on Tuesday was named f irstteam Academic All-America.

It’s an award chosen by the College Sports Information Directors of Reed America and sponsored by Capital One. “What a great achievement for Tyrel,” KU coach Bill Self said.

“To have two guys on the first team back-to-back years is a great accomplishment to the academic support we have here for our guys. This honor is a testimony to how hard Tyrel has worked.

I couldn’t be happier or more proud of an individual. To me, this is bigger than making any athletic team,” Self added.

Reed’s former roommate, Cole Aldrich of the NBA’s Oklahoma City Thunder, was a first-teamer last year as well as Academic AllAmerican of the year.

Butler’s Matt Howard won the top honor this year. He and Reed were joined on the first team by Notre Dame’s Tim Abromaitis, Northern Colorado’s Devon Beitzel and North Carolina’s Tyler Zeller.

“This is an amazing award and I’m just so excited about receiving it,” Reed said. “We have a great support staff here with Scooter (Scott Ward, associate AD) being a great academic adviser. I credit my teammates who supported me as well as a great coaching staff.”

A pre-physical therapy and exercise science major with a 3.65 grade-point average, Reed graduated from KU in December.

“My goal when I got here was to be the best student I could be and have something to fall back on when I am done with basketball. It’s just a really cool honor to get and I am very blessed,” Reed said.

Reed became KU’s 15th basketball Academic All-America first-team selection. The others: Bud Stallworth (197 1), Tom Kivisto (1974), Cris Barnthouse (1977), Ken Koenigs (1977, 78), Darnell Valentine (1979, 80, 81), David Magley (1982), Jacque Vaughn (1996, 97), Jerod Haase (1997), Ryan Robertson (1999) and Aldrich (2010).

Reed intends to earn an advanced degree in physical therapy at KU Medical School, but isn’t sure when he’ll do that.

“I talked to the PT school and I can defer my acceptance for a couple of years,” Reed said. “I’m excited about that.”

He will look into playing ball professionally.

“I’d love to see what my opportunities are in that direction and just kind of go where the wind blows me,” said Reed, who averages 9.8 points a game, fourthbest mark on the team. He’s made 38.8 percent of his threes and 83.1 percent of his free throws.

“I give a lot of credit to my parents,” Reed said of his father Stacey and mother Debbie.

“They raised me and my sister (Lacie) in a household that fostered an environment that was conducive to learning and always wanting us to strive to do our best.” ● Notebook on page 3B

NATIONAL BRIEFS Knicks believe Anthony worth it GREENBURGH, N.Y. — The New York Knicks were searching for a second superstar when Carmelo Anthony became available.

The price was high, but they’re certain he’s worth it.

“When you go out hunting, would you rather have a bigger gun or a little gun?” coach Mike D’Antoni said. “We got a bigger gun.”

The Knicks completed a three-team, 13-player trade with the Denver Nuggets for Anthony on Tuesday night. The Minnesota Timberwolves also were involved in the trade, which was agreed to Monday but couldn’t be finalized until Anthony signed his three-year, $65 million contract extension with the Nuggets.

BIG 12 ROUNDUP

Texas trounces Iowa State A U S T I N , T E X A S ( AP ) — As shooting slumps go, Jordan Hamilton’s wasn’t very long.

It was very frustrating.

Hamilton, a contender for Big 12 player of the year, broke out of a two-game slump with 20 points and No. 5 Texas rebounded from its first loss in a month with a 76-53 rout of Iowa State on Tuesday night.

Tristan Thompson added 17 points and 14 rebounds for the Longhorns (24-4, 12-1 Big 12).

Hamilton and Thompson keyed a big Texas run at the start of the second half that put the game away.

Those two both struggled when Texas had its 11-game winning streak snapped in a loss at Nebraska last weekend.

Hamilton was 3-of-16 from the field in that game and Thompson had just three rebounds.

Hamilton had also struggled with his touch in a win last week over Oklahoma State.

“I spent some extra time in the gym,” after the loss, Hamilton said. “I wanted to get my shot back. ... Tonight I took good shots.”

It didn’t happen right away.

He missed his f irst three attempts against the Cyclones. As a team, Texas seemed like it was still a bit hung over from the loss. Iowa State grabbed an early lead and Thompson had a tip-in into in the wrong basket that drew a loud grown from the home crowd.

Hamilton then made four of his next five shots and scored eight points in a 15-6 Texas run. Gary Johnson made his first three-pointer of the season — and second of his

career — and Hamilton converted a four-point play that put Texas up 33-23. Texas led 35-26 at halftime.

Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg implored his team in the locker room to push back and keep it close.

But the Longhorns effectively put the game away in the opening minutes of the second.

Gary Bedore’s KU basketball notebook ‘Kieff steps up

two games, he’s been a beast.

He’s going after the ball with two hands as well as anybody we’ve had here in a long time.

He’s being very explosive. He’s playing well.”

Support of Taylor KU senior Mario Little said the Jayhawk players fully support junior Tyshawn Taylor, who has been suspended indefinitely by Self for violating team rules.

“We are a team. We keep his spirits up just like they (teammates) kept my spirits up (during Little’s six-game suspension),” Little said. “We are going to support each other no matter what happens.”

Little spoke with Taylor before Monday’s OSU game, the first game Taylor has missed in his three-year KU career.

“I told him, ‘Keep your head up and maybe you can turn this into a positive. Maybe take things a little more serious.

Nothing is guaranteed,’’’ Little said.

Markieff Morris followed perhaps his worst game of the season (three points in loss to Kansas State on Feb. 14) with two monster games.

Creighton spoils KU home opener J-W Staff Reports

Creighton spoiled the home opener for the Kansas University baseball team with a 4-3 victory in 10 innings on Tuesday at Hoglund Ballpark.

James Stanfield paced the KU offense by going 2-for-4.

On the mound, freshman Alex Cox allowed one earned run in 41⁄3 innings in his collegiate debut.

It wasn’t enough.

Creighton’s Alex Staehely blasted an RBI triple following a leadoff walk in the top of the 10th frame to score the winning run.

KU dropped to 1-3, while Creighton improved to 3-1.

“Obviously it’s the opposite end of the spectrum. We were as emotionally high as you could be on Sunday after pulling that one out against (No. 1) TCU,” Kansas coach Ritch Price said. “Today is obviously a huge letdown and there are a lot of disappointed guys in the locker room right now.”

Kansas senior T.J. Walz was saddled with the loss. He entered the game in the ninth inning and escaped without allowing a run, but then allowed the walk and triple one inning later.

The Jayhawks threatened in the bottom of the tenth with two baserunners, but Creighton reliever Reese McGraw induced a groundout off the bat of Brandon Macias to end it. McGraw also earned 2 the victory after pitching 1 ⁄3 scoreless innings.

KU scored all three of its runs in the fourth inning.

After Macias reached on an error, senior Jimmy Waters doubled to left-center to give KU a 1-0 lead.

Waters was picked off at second, but the Jayhawk rally continued when Stanfield doubled to right-center and sophomore Jake Marasco singled him home. Junior Zac Elgie followed with an RBI double on a shot to left-center.

with him. As Conrad got up from his chair, he rubbed Walthall’s head and measured his shot.

Now it was Walthall’s turn.

The foundation frame awaited. The tension in the house mounted. He locked on his target, the 14th board, and dropped it down. Something didn’t look quite right. It was neither a creeper nor a frozen rope. The speed was right in the 14.6-to-15 mph range Walthall considers ideal. But the angle. Something about the angle didn’t look quite right. Nine pins fell. The seven pin won Walthall’s stare-down with history. The crowd broke into an ovation for a fight well-fought. He finished with a 278, one pin off his personal-best, achieved several times.

“Once I laid it down, I had a feeling it was going to be a tough strike,” Walthall said.

“Just a heart-breaker. It’s all about hitting your mark and I didn’t hit my mark.”

Walthall did a nice job of keeping his eye on the prize.

“I honestly was so focused in on my own game I wasn’t paying any attention to anybody else,” he said.

Walthall is a pitcher in Free State’s loaded baseball program.

“It’s exactly the same,” he said of how a bowler seeking perfection is treated by teammates, as compared to a pitcher. “Every now and then you say, ‘That was a good ball,’ or (in baseball), ‘That was a good pitch.’ But you kind of like leave the guy alone.”

Lefties are in demand in baseball because of the trou-

ble left-handed hitters have hitting their breaking balls. In bowling, southpaws also have the advantage because most bowlers are right-handed and the repetitive pounding to the right side of the lane.

“There’s oil out there and no one else is messing with my oil,” Walthall said, explaining why the cakes are always cheesier for lefties. “Everyone else has to play with two or three other people.”

While Walthall’s second game sizzled suspense, the varsity team competitions didn’t. The Free State girls outscored the Lions, 2,1611 ,952. The Firebirds boys defeated LHS, 2,390-2,159.

Lions lefty Riley Gentry, who led his team with a 606 series, one pin better than Austin Bennett, admires Walthall’s abilities in the alleys and on the mound.

“He has a really clean shot and he strikes a lot,” Gentry said of Walthall. “He doesn’t try to throw a fancy hook or with tow hands. It’s jut a down-and-in shot and he’s really accurate with it. He has

a really relaxed clean shot and it doesn’t really look like pressure gets to him in either sport.”

In the girls competition, Free State’s Alyson Butler started out on fire with games of 217 and 201 before faltering with a 142 for a 560 series, one pin shy of her personal best.

Michelle Schieffer — the way she consistently picks off the 10 pin, you need to see it to believe it — had a 531 series with a 201 second game.

Dever, performing with more consistency of late than in mid-season, improved with each game in bowling a 528 series (165-181-182).

Lawrence High’s Kierstan Warren could have used a dose of such consistency, but did wow the crowd by finishing her day with a 214 after struggling to a 104 in the second game.

Different mental methods work for different bowlers.

Dever repeats a mechanics mantra — “Extend my arm, sloooooooow down, hit my mark” — with each throw.

Butler sings a song in her head, the same song, over and over: “Just the Way You Are” by teen idol Bruno Mars.

Assistant coach Tyler Bradshaw suggested singing a song for improving focus and head coach Anita Carlson sang along with Butler the first time she tried it.

“It sounds kind of dumb, singing a song while you’re bowling, but for me at least, it helps a lot,” Butler said. “Even if I try to switch songs, it will go back to that one.”

As for Walthall, he didn’t have any reason to look back on his day and want to change anything. He was amazing, just the way he was.

quarter and 30-15 at halftime, in large part thanks to Grant Greenberg’s 11 points and Preston Padgett’s 10. Leavenworth successfully attacked the Lions’ 2-3 zone in a variety of ways, forcing Lewis to abandon it for stretches.

KJ Pritchard led the Lions (7-12) with 21 points. Logan Henrichs added 13 points and grabbed seven rebounds.

Despite the lack of energy on Tuesday, Lewis isn’t worried about his guys waking up for Friday’s city showdown at Free State. Instead, he’s concerned that his team took a step backwards from Friday’s close home loss against Olathe Northwest.

“Basketball’s a game of momentum and energy and enthusiasm, and we didn’t have it from the opening tip,” Lewis said.

The Lions and Firebirds tip off at 7:30 p.m. on Friday at Free State.

That was all the offense KU could muster, however.

Creighton’s bullpen held KU hitless over the final 62⁄3 innings.

Tuesday represented the first time the Jayhawks played on their new synthetic playing surface — Astroturf Gameday 3D — that was installed last summer.

“There are no bad hops,” Kansas outfielder Casey Lytle said. “The only difference you feel is when it rains, it gets a little more slick. You just have to slide a little bit earlier. It’s great; you can get on the field right after it rains and you can just clear off the snow and you’re ready to go. It really has been great.”

The Jayhawks will host Saint Louis University in the first game of the Jayhawk Classic on Friday at Hoglund Leavenworth girls 52, Lawrence 39 Ballpark.

Kansas to hit road Free State boys toppled, 65-61 at Oklahoma State CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

J-W Staff Reports

After a victory over Border War rival Missouri, the Kansas University women’s basketball team will look to keep its momentum going on the road tonight at Oklahoma State.

The Jayhawks, who have won two of their last three games, take a 17-9 overall mark (4-8 Big 12) into Gallagher-Iba Arena, while Oklahoma State carries a 15-10 overall record (3-9 Big 12). The Cowgirls have suffered back-to-back road losses at Missouri and No. 5 Texas A&M. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. in Stillwater, Okla. It is not televised.

KU is 4-6 on the road this season and 1-5 in Big 12 road contests.

The Jayhawks are led by Carolyn Davis (18.7 points per game) and Monica Engelman (11.9 ppg). Davis, a sophomore, was named Big 12 player of the week on Monday

after erupting for a careerbest 34 points off of 13-for-16 shooting against MU. She also pulled down nine rebounds.

Davis leads the Big 12 and ranks second in the country in field goal percentage (66.8).

Sophomore guard Angel Goodrich has really picked it up lately in conference play.

Goodrich, who has recorded double-digit assist totals in two of her last four games, leads the Big 12 in assists in leag ue play with 6.6 per game.

Oklahoma State is 13-4 in home games this season (3-3 in Big 12 games).

Sophomore forward Toni Young leads the way for OSU with 14.7 points and nine boards per game.

Kansas has an 11-10 advantage over OSU in games played in Stillwater.

The Jayhawks snapped a four-game losing streak in their last trip to Gallagher-Iba Arena, defeating the Cowgirls on February 25, 2009.

But Scout Wiebe (six points, four rebounds) swiped a pass and coasted in for an easy layup, and Kirkpatrick and Chelsea Casady each drove to the basket for threepoint plays to steady the Firebirds.

“I think the key was responding to the run,” Duncan said. “We knew they’d make (one) at some point and the key was getting it stopped with taking a timeout and coming back out and playing well.”

The Firebirds will play their season finale on Friday against Lawrence High.

“I think tonight was a pretty good indication that we still have our best basketball yet to come,” Duncan said.

SM North 65, Free State boys 61 If there were any positives to take away from Tuesday night, Free State High boys basketball coach Chuck Law couldn’t think of any.

The Firebirds came in winners of four out of their last five, but started flat and fell

apart late, and were upended at Shawnee Mission North.

FSHS (11-8) led by as many as 10 points in the fourth quarter, but relented 29 points in the f inal eight minutes,

including 13 straight at one point, to squander the lead.

“We went outside of our minds a lot tonight,” Law said.

“We didn’t stay very disciplined, we didn’t guard the people we talked about.”

Two of those players, Kyle Goodburn (21 points) and Austin Danner (19 points), combined for 15 points in the fourth quarter to cap the Indians’ (5-14) stunning comeback on Senior Night.

Georgi Funtarov tallied 25 points and pulled down 13 rebounds to lead the Firebirds, who never seemed in a rhythm on either end of the floor.

Eric Watson (six points, five steals) ended the skid with a runner in traffic — which triggered a 15-0 Firebird rally — but doing so ended up being costly.

Watson came down awkwardly on his left ankle and fell to the floor in pain before limping to the bench, where he was forced to watch the remainder of the game. Law called the injury an Achilles strain and said he hoped it was nothing worse for his senior guard.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -WORLD

Spice blends excellent way to add kick to healthy foods Q:

At the program on Seasoning with Spices and Herbs that you sponsored a couple of weeks ago, was information shared on what seasonings are suggested to use with different foods?

A:

Yes, our publication lists the following suggestions for flavor combinations: ● Beef — bay leaf, marjoram, nutmeg, onion, pepper, sage, thyme ● Chicken — ginger, marjoram, oregano, paprika, poultry seasoning, rosemary, sage, tarragon, thyme ● Fish — curry powder, dill, dry mustard, marjoram, paprika, pepper ● Lamb — curry powder, garlic, rosemary, mint ● Pork — garlic, sage, pepper, oregano ● Veal — bay leaf, curry powder, ginger, marjoram, oregano ● Carrots — cinnamon, cloves, marjoram, nutmeg, rosemary, sage ● Corn — cumin, curry powder, paprika, parsley ● Green beans — dill, curry powder, lemon juice, marjoram, oregano, tarragon, thyme ● Greens — pepper ● Peas — ginger, marjoram, onion, parsley, sage ● Potatoes — dill, garlic, onion, paprika, parsley, sage ● Summer squash — cloves, curry powder, marjoram, nutmeg, rosemary, sage ● Tomatoes — basil, bay leaf, dill, marjoram, onion, oregano, parsley, pepper ● Winter squash — cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, onion Also, several combina-

Cooking Q&A

Susan Krumm skrumm@oznet.ksu.edu

tions of basic spices were shared so if you don’t have the called-for blend for a recipe, you can easily make your own. ● Apple Pie Spice (1 teaspoon) = 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg. ● Pumpkin Pie Spice (1 teaspoon) = 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ginger, 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg, and 1/8 teaspoon allspice. ● Italian Seasoning (11/2 teaspoons) = 1/4 teaspoon oregano leaves, 1/4 teaspoon marjoram leaves, 1/4 teaspoon basil leaves, and 1/8 teaspoon rubbed sage. ● Poultry Seasoning (1 teaspoon) = 3/4 teaspoon ground sage and 1/4 teaspoon ground thyme.

Here are some seasoning guidelines that are useful in determining how much herb or spice to use: ● Equivalent amounts: 1 tablespoon finely cut fresh herbs = 1 teaspoon crumbled dried herbs = 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground dried herbs. ● Begin with a small amount and adjust as needed. For 4 servings or 1 pound of meat or 1 pint/2 cups of soup or sauce, use 1/4 tea-

spoon dried ground herbs. ● When using cayenne pepper or garlic powder, start with 1/8 teaspoon. Red pepper intensifies in flavor during cooking. ● When doubling a recipe, do not double herbs and spices. Increase amounts by 50 percent, adding more if needed. ● Add less delicate herbs (such as dill seed, oregano, thyme) earlier in the cooking and more delicate herbs (such as basil, chives, mint) later or just before serving.

Q: What’s the best way to store herbs and spices?

A: The flavors of herbs and spices are fragile and can be destroyed by heat, light and moisture. Store seasonings in tightly covered containers in a cupboard or drawer. Store them away from heat and moisture sources such as the dishwasher, sink, range or heating vent. In hot climates, refrigerate paprika, chili powder and red pepper to protect the flavor.

Keep moisture out of the herb or spice container by placing the measured amount in a small bowl to add to the preparation instead of measuring or sprinkling over a steaming pot. Use a dry spoon to measure. Most people keep seasonings too long for best quality. To determine a flavoring’s quality, crush or rub a small amount in your hand to see if it smells strong and flavorful.

Generally, keep herbs and ground spices about a year or less. Keep whole spices up to two years or less.

make, good for a brunch or a worknight dinner.

BACON, GREEN ONION AND FETA QUICHE 1 Pie Crust (bought or homemade — either way is cool) 3 strips of bacon, chopped into smallish pieces 1/3 cup feta 1/4 cup parmesan 2 green onions, chopped pinch of salt cracked black pepper 1 clove garlic minced 5 eggs 1 cup milk 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar 2 tablespoon fresh parsley 1 tablespoon melted butter

Put your crust in the pie pan, and preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Briskly whisk together the eggs and milk, and then fry your bacon. (If you are like me, you’ll pour that bacon grease into a jar

BRIEFLY Spinach vs. romaine: Nutrition smack down Romaine and spinach often sit side by side at the salad bar, but one stands taller.

“The darker the green, the more nutrient-dense it’s going to be,” said Heather Mangieri, a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association.

Spinach contains more vitamin C (an antioxidant), iron (helps prevent anemia), magnesium (can help protect against heart disease) and vitamin K (good for bones and blood). Spinach also packs calcium, but there’s a catch.

“We don’t think of spinach being a great source of calcium because it’s high in oxalates, which bind with calcium and make it unavailable,” Mangieri said. Boiling spinach releases the oxalates and many nutrients into the cooking water.

Romaine is still nutritious.

“It’s definitely a step up from iceberg lettuce,” Mangieri said.

and store it in the fridge for a later use. I can’t stand to throw things away. Plus, bacon grease equals delicious green beans.) Drop the rest of the ingredients in (don’t skip the balsamic, it really helps) and bake 350 for 40 minutes. ●

In the meantime, whip up your muffins.

BANANA MUFFINS 2 over ripe bananas 1/4 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup granulated sugar 1/2 cup sour cream 1/2 cup milk (I used soy) 1 teaspoon vanilla Pinch of salt 2 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 cup oil

Grease a 12 cup muffin tin (I just sprayed liberally with Pam). No need for liners they’ll just stick to the muffins.

You’ll also want a 350 degree oven, but if you’ve got a quiche in there already, you’re all set.

Mash the bananas in a medium-sized mixing bowl with a fork. I left mine a little chunky because I like the way the muffin is with some discernable hunks of banana in it. Plus, I’m too lazy to wisk bananas to a pulp. Then add the sugar and the oil, and beat. I just used a wisk since I didn’t want to dirty up beaters and all that.

Add the milk and the salt, and stir it in well. Then stir in the baking powder and flour.

Don’t overmix. Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let them cool a bit before you try to remove them from the tin.

I thought this was an easy and delicious dinner, and I didn’t have to labor over checking on rice or stirring up a sauce only to have it break. It’s a simple job of mix and toss in the oven, and then ignore it all until everything is done.

Arugula adds earthy taste to potato soup shenning@ljworld.com

Since Presidents Day fell earlier this week, we thought we’d pick a recipe featuring one of our current president’s favorite foods.

So, ready or not, we’ve chosen a soup featuring President Obama-approved arugula, along with yummy soup mainstays bread and potatoes.

Obama got a lot of flack for mentioning arugula while running for the presidency, a food choice that seemed a bit highbrow to some pundits.

But you know what?

It’s good stuff, and it’s good for you, too. According to

NutritionData.com, 100 grams of the leafy green veggie has 47 percent of your daily vitamin A, 25 percent of your vitamin C and only 25 calories.

Those are numbers you can’t argue with. So, eat up and warm up with this easy soup. Oh, and an added bonus? This recipe is from Lidia Matticchio Bastianich, aka the Lidia of Lidia’s in Kansas City.

BREAD, POTATO AND ARUGULA SOUP 3/4 pound potatoes (baking) peeled and cut into 1/2-inch thick slices 7 cups water Salt to taste

1 pound arugula (2-3 large bunches) 1/2 cup Italian bread, a day old or toasted with crusts removed and diced 1/2 inches 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 6 cloves garlic, crushed 1/2 cup Romano cheese, freshly grated 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper

In a deep, heavy 4-5 quart pot, combine the potatoes and water. Salt the water lightly and bring to a boil.

Adjust the heat to mediumhigh and cook the potatoes, covered, until they are tender but still hold their shape, about 18 minutes.

Meanwhile, cut off the thick stems from the arugula and wash the leaves in cool water to remove all sand and grit,

changing the water if necessary. Drain the arugula well and cut it into 2-inch lengths.

Stir the arugula and bread into the pot and let boil for another 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a small skillet, heat the olive oil over low heat. Add the garlic cloves and crushed red pepper and cook, stirring, until the garlic is golden, about 3 minutes.

Scrape the contents of the skillet into the soup pot and stir well. Season the soup with salt to taste and serve in warm bowls, sprinkled with the grated cheese.

8B

1. “127 Hours”: Granola Trail Mix. “127 Hours” centers on a young climber (James Franco) who gets stuck in the wild for several days after getting his arm pinned by rocks. As far as “outdoorsy” food goes, trail mix is the best for a big party.

2. “The King’s Speech”: Mini-Cocktail Scones. For those of you in love with the inspiring tale of King George VI and his stutter, these little scones are a great modern day nod to the Britain seen in “The King’s Speech.” Skip the clotted cream.

3

3. “The Social Network”: Mini-pizzas. What food is more college-esque then pizza? Even those brain trust kids at Harvard partake. We made pizza extra social for the “The Social Network” — with little pizzas that are perfect for sharing.

4

4. “The Fighter”: Boston Baked Beans. “The Fighter” is set in Boston and is the true story of a famed boxing family. We’re not sure the guys in the ring would enjoy baked beans regularly, but anything that can be kept warm in a slow cooker works well for five-hour Oscar parties.

▲

5. “Black Swan”: Mini Black and Whites. In “Black Swan,” Natalie Portman plays a ballerina who loses it while trying to portray both the pristine white swan and the sensuous black swan in a high-brow interpretation of “Swan Lake.” Though Natalie’s Nina doesn’t really eat anything in the movie, we thought these cookies captured the dual nature of the role that would eventually consume her.

6. “Inception”” Blueberry Ginger Upside Down Cake.

It’s the scene that left everyone breathless in the mindbending exercise that is “Inception.” You know the one, where Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s Arthur gets all topsyturvy fighting agents in a hotel hallway while in dreamland. We thought this cake sounded as refined as it does topsy-turvy.

This meal not endorsed

by Mr. Meat and Potatoes

L

ast week I was lamenting to a friend that I didn’t know what to make for dinner, and she announced that she was throwing together a quiche. Brilliant. I could use up some of the bajillion eggs in my refrigerator, and the last few strips of bacon, and whatever other odds and ends were floating around in my crisper, waiting to go bad.

I also had a few bananas that were past their prime in my fruit bowl, so I decided to go ahead and make some muffins to go with my quiche. I mean, what a nice wife, right? To come home and make muffins from scratch? And what could be bad about an egg dish full of bacon and feta cheese?

Apparently, a Nope, I’m lot. My very kind husband not hurt at all. didn’t say a word as he saw Not one little bit wounded me working a crust into a pie by the fact pan, and he that I made held his tongue muffins with when I started my loving whipping eggs together with hands and he random herbs wouldn’t even and cheese.

Finally, I put try them. Not. the plate down Even. A. Bite. in front of him, Not that I and he quietly took about four care.” bites of the quiche. The muffins went untouched. Finally, he admitted, “I’m not much of a muffin guy.” I knew this, but thought I could surely win him over with my moist and delicious homemade banana ones. Yeah, not so much. I gave him permission to make a frozen pizza, which he promptly did.

That was okay — I ate the quiche for lunch for the next two days, and the baby gorged himself on banana muffins every morning all week. You know, you just can’t win ’em all. I have learned not to take these things personally. Nope, I’m not hurt at all. Not one little bit wounded by the fact that I made muffins with my loving hands and he wouldn’t even try them. Not. Even. A. Bite. Not that I care.

Anyway, I am telling you, this is good stuff. I don’t care what Mr. Meat and Potatoes says, or what that book from the ’80s has to say about it. Real men DO eat quiche.

Just not my real man.

7. “True Grit”: Jalapeno peppers. OK, so it’s a stretch but anyone who’s seen Hailee Steinfeld’s Mattie Ross in “True Grit” knows that girl has a lot of spice to her.

8

8. “The Kids Are All Right”: Root Vegetable and Swiss Cheese Gratin.

There are two reasons we chose this recipe to represent “The Kids are All Right” — wine and gardening. Throughout the movie a lot of wine is imbibed and a lot of plants fretted upon by characters (Julianne Moore’s Jules and Mark Ruffalo’s Paul) who are interested in organic food production.

▲

9. “Winter’s Bone”: Brewery Spiced Wings. One of the most memorable scenes in the Ozark-set “Winter’s Bone” involves the lead character showing her siblings how to skin and dress a squirrel. Rather than hunt down some sumptuous squirrel recipes, we decided to play with “bone” in the title and pick up chicken wings, always a crowd-pleaser.

9

10. “Toy Story 3”: Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes: Many adults found themselves tearing up at the “everybody grows up” theme of “Toy Story 3,” but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a bit of fun as adults. These cupcakes scream “5-year-old birthday party,” but that doesn’t mean folks over the age of 18 can’t enjoy them.

It feels like we have lost the person we knew. Is there anything my siblings and I can do to help my sister? — Missing Our Sister

The ratings-challenged CW network has employed a curious strategy this season. Because next to nobody is watching their shows, they’ll just make fewer of them. Some of its old WB stalwarts like “One Tree Hill” and “Smallville” have been running for what seems like centuries. And the old UPN’s “America’s Next Top Model” (7 p.m., CW) is entering its 16th season tonight.

Tonight’s big wrinkle is the arrival of guest judge Erin Wasson, who teaches the would-be mannequins how to walk. Next week, Heather Bauer, host Tyra Banks’ personal nutritionist, will quiz the young lovelies about their eating habits and their understanding of healthy foods. ● Food also looms large on “Shedding for the Wedding” (8 p.m., CW), that rarest of all entities, a new show on the CW. OK, “new” may be an exaggeration. “Shedding” is basically a hybrid of the many popular basic-cable series about wedding obsessives and NBC’s seemingly indefatigable “Biggest Loser” franchise.

Sara Rue, who was rather funny and charming on the old ABC series “Less than Perfect,” hosts “Shedding.” She was also on the old WB show “Popular” and has a current recurring role on “Rules of Engagement.”

Rue has lost considerable weight since her days on “Less than Perfect,” and that is obviously the objective for the participants here.

As each pair is introduced, we’re told how and where they met, how they both got so heavy and their plans for their wedding, dreams that generally involve some humongous production costing the gross national product of an emerging nation.

Nobody here suggests that this mindless materialism and craving for consumer satisfaction may be linked to the sedentary lifestyle and gluttony that got them fat in first place. No, it’s not that kind of show.

We’re supposed to laugh at their rather sanguine stories of larding up on fast food while playing video games and then watch them lumber along on treadmills as they moan and sweat and even vomit, all with their eyes on the prize — that megaexpensive dream wedding. For reasons unexplained, every couple has chosen the official colors for their wedding. When did this start? And how can it be stopped?

Who, exactly, wants to watch this? Men? I think not. Married women? They’ve already had their big day. Single women?

Well, did anyone imagine a potential viewer sitting alone on a Wednesday night and wondering why she’s still single when all of these plus-sized whiners have found a man? That’s gotta hurt a girl’s self-esteem.

No, I don’t think the CW really thought this through. I have a feeling those women will take one glance at this and go back to watching “Miss Congeniality” (7 p.m. and 9 p.m., WE) for the 47th time.

Tonight’s other highlights ● The winnowing process continues on “American Idol” (7 p.m., Fox). ● Claire and Phil’s fight has obscure origins on “Modern Family” (8 p.m., ABC). ● A murder conspiracy in the Queen City on “Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior” (9 p.m., CBS). ● Murder in the art world on “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” (9 p.m., NBC). ● A medical helicopter crashes in the jungle on “Off the Map” (9 p.m., ABC).

She lives in a home owned by her mother, who also pays all her bills. Jane’s only job has been part-time summer work, and she was laid off last year.

Jane refuses to pay rent or get help of any kind. Her parents (my sister and her husband) have loaned her a car, and they have done all the repairs to her house. Now Jane refuses to let them come over and visit.

Downtown Lawrence Inc. names new director

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Downtown Lawrence Inc. has hired a longtime Lawrence media personality to ramp up the marketing of the downtown area.

Cathy Hamilton — a book author, freelance columnist for the Journal-World and former Sunflower Broadband television host — took over Tuesday as Downtown Lawrence Inc.’s executive director.

“I really feel like I can tell the stories of downtown,” Hamilton said. “Telling the stories is so much of what marketing is. I want to just

put more of a face on downtown and really help everybody get to know the people of downtown.”

Hamilton Hamilton fills a position that had been vacant since early January when former director Jane Pennington and the DLI board parted ways.

Hamilton said she plans on keeping many of the events that have been started in downtown over the last several years — although the organization is in search of a

new outdoor location to host its summer film festival. Construction has made its previous home at the corner of Ninth and New Hampshire streets unavailable.

Hamilton also said she’s working on other event ideas that will be centered around shopping.

“I have some events in mind that have more of a retail emphasis,” Hamilton said. “We want to have some events that will allow us to shop while we party.”

Increasing downtown’s web presence and its use of social networking also will be a goal, she said.

Hamilton has worked

downtown for about 20 years, primarily with The World Company, the parent company of the Journal-World, where she was a reporter, television host of “Home & Away,” marketing manager and director of BoomerGirl.com. She’s the author of 16 books, and developed and marketed a novelty product called Boyfriend-ina-Box. Hamilton writes a twicemonthly boomer generation lifestyle column for the Journal-World.

Kline denies trying to ID abortion patients FORMER KANSAS ATTORNEY GENERAL Phill Kline and his wife, Deborah, leave a hearing on a professional ethics complaint against him Tuesday in Topeka.

By John Hanna Associated Press Writer

TOPEKA — Former Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline sought Tuesday to rebut a key allegation in an ethics complaint against him, testifying during a hearing that he did not aim to identify adult patients of the late Dr. George Tiller during an investigation of the Wichita abortion provider.

Kline said instead he was trying to identify child victims of sexual abuse and anyone traveling with them when he subpoenaed records from a hotel near Tiller’s clinic. It was his second day of testimony before a threemember panel of the state Board for the Discipline of Attorneys, which will recommend to the Kansas Supreme what, if any, sanctions Kline should face over the complaint.

The complaint alleges Kline and his subordinates mishandled abortion patients’ medical records and misled other officials while investigating Tiller’s clinic and a Planned Parenthood clinic in the Kansas City suburb of Overland Park. Kline,

John Hanna/AP Photo

who investigated the clinics as attorney general from 2003 to 2007 and as Johnson County district attorney from 2007 to 2009, vigorously disputes those allegations.

Part of the complaint says Kline and his staff falsely claimed in court documents and proceedings that they never tried to identify adult abortion patients. It says Kline’s office subpoenaed records in 2005 from a hotel near Tiller’s clinic that offered his patients a discount.

Records from the attorney general’s office show investigators tried to identify adults staying at the hotel. Kline testified Tuesday that the goal was to identify “traveling

companions” of children seeking abortions, so investigators could determine whether Tiller had reported sexual abuse of the children to authorities, as required by law.

“We knew that the children would not be registering under their own names,” Kline testified. “Yes, adult patients stayed there, but that wasn’t the purpose of the subpoena.”

Kline filed misdemeanor charges against Tiller in December 2006, accusing the doctor of performing illegal late-term abortions and failing to adequately report the details to the state, as required by law. The case was dismissed for jurisdictional

Bill would restrict employee groups

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — As state employees in Wisconsin continue to demonstrate against attempts to remove collective bargaining there, Kansas lawmakers are preparing to debate a bill that would eliminate practices used by organized workers to participate in political campaigns.

House Bill 2130 would prohibit any labor organization, professional employee organization or public employee organization to use dues, fees or any kind of deduction from a member’s paycheck for the

purpose of engaging in political activities. The bill, which could be debated in the House as early as today, also would prohibit public employee organizations from endorsing candidates.

The measure is supported by the Kansas Chamber of Commerce and the Kansas chapter of Americans for Prosperity.

In written testimony to the House Commerce and Economic Development Committee, Derrick Sontag, state director for AFP, said the bill “simply gives union members a choice, a choice to fund or not fund the nonbargaining

Supporters say the repeal is driven by fear that the tuition break is encouraging illegal immigrants to move to Kansas.

Similar measures have passed the House since adoption of the policy but have failed to find enough votes in the Senate.

The state Board of Regents said 413 students enrolled under the law last fall.

Legislative budget negotiations resume TOPEKA — Kansas legislators have resumed negotiations over cutting the current state budget.

Three senators and three House members met briefly Tuesday to discuss funding for special education programs in public schools.

That’s a key issue as lawmakers try to finish work on a bill revising the budget for the fiscal year that ends June 30.

Gov. Sam Brownback wants the state to begin the new fiscal year July 1 with about $35 million in cash reserves, and House members agreed.

The Senate’s figure for reserves was less than $4 million because its members boosted special education funding. State officials now agree the extra $26 million is required by federal law.

House negotiators proposed Tuesday to divert money from schools’ base state aid to cover special education. Senate negotiators were considering the proposal.

and administration aspects of their union while still retaining their membership.”

The measure is opposed by the Kansas AFL-CIO, Kansas Organization of State Employees, Kansas National Education Association and other labor groups.

Andy Sanchez, executive secretary-treasurer of the Kansas AFL-CIO, said the bill “actively seeks to restrict people from participating in the electoral process by effectively silencing the voice of working people.”

reasons, and Kline’s successor filed different misdemeanor charges the following year.

Tiller was acquitted in 2009, shortly before he was shot and killed while attending church.

A criminal case against the Planned Parenthood clinic, filed by Kline as Johnson County district attorney in 2007, is pending. The clinic denies the allegations in the 107 charges that it performed illegal abortions and falsified records.

Clinics and abortion rights advocates have accused Kline of conducting a fishing expedition during his time as attorney general that threatened patients’ privacy. His political opponents milked the issue, which was a main reason he lost his bid for reelection as attorney general in 2006.

Statements by Kline and subordinates in court proceedings and documents relating to his abortion investigations were in keeping with K line’s public stance that he didn’t need — or want — to know the names of adult abortion patients.

Consumer confidence climbs to 3-year high

By Ellen Gibson Associated Press Writer

NEW YORK — Americans are feeling more chipper about the economy than they have in three years.

The Consumer Confidence Index rose to 70.4 this month, up from 64.8 in January, as Americans expressed more optimism about their income prospects and the direction the economy is headed, a private research group reported Tuesday.

It’s the strongest reading since the early days of the most severe recession the U.S. has seen since the 1930s.

A robust stock market and falling unemployment are lifting Americans’ spirits in spite of rising food and energy prices and a still-weak housing sector. In addition, a cut to the Social Security tax meant Americans started seeing more money in their paychecks in January, which may be boosting consumer spending.

Retailers including Macy’s Inc., Home Depot Inc. and VF Corp., maker of Lee jeans and Vans shoes, reported betterthan-expected earnings Tuesday. Home Depot posted its first annual revenue increase since before the housing crash in 2006, while Macy’s, the country’s second-largest department store chain, saw sales at stores open at least a year climb 4.3 percent.

“Since November there has been a gradual improvement

in the consumer mood, but it’s not happy days are here again,” says Chris Christopher, an economist with IHS Global Insight. “Household net worth is still about $10 trillion below its peak, and with what’s going on in the housing market now, it doesn’t look like that’s going to improve anytime soon.”

The S&P/Case-Shiller index of home values in 20 U.S. cities fell 2.4 percent last year, the group said Tuesday, and economists predict foreclosures will increase this year.

The Conference Board, which puts out the confidence survey, found that the number of families planning to buy a home in the next six months fell to 4.4 percent in February from 5.2 percent in January.

While consumer conf idence is rising, continued troubles in the housing market and other lingering effects of the recession are keeping the index well below the 90plus readings that signal a stable economy. Confidence fell off a cliff after the U.S. housing bubble burst and the financial crisis took hold in 2007.

The index dropped below 90 in January 2008 and hit an all-time low of 25.3 a year later. While confidence and spending have inched back up as business conditions improve, Americans are still feeling cautious, especially when it comes to jobs.
