Bowersock expects to begin $25M plant ‘very shortly’ By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

A project to build a $25 million hydroelectric power plant on the north bank of the Kansas River is on the verge of becoming a reality. Sarah Hill-Nelson, an owner of the Lawrence-based Bowersock Mills & Power Co., conf irmed Monday that the company has found buyers for all the necessary bonds it needs to build a new plant near the northern end of the

downtown Kansas River bridges. “It is not over till it is over, but we’re now anticipating to begin construction very shortly,” Hill-Nelson said. Financing has been the largest hurdle for the project, which was announced in 2009. The company has received the necessary federal permits to build the plant, which will operate in tandem with Bowersock’s existing plant on the south bank of the river. In November the company reached a long-term deal for the Kansas City, Kan., Board of

Public Utilities to buy all the power from the plants. But finding buyers for the nearly $25 million in bonds had been problematic as large institutional investors hadn’t taken the time to research the project. But Hill-Nelson said the project received a boost when the Securities and Exchange Commission ruled that qualified individual investors would be allowed to directly purchase the bonds. That allowed the project to court more regional investors.

City leaders on Monday were pleased to learn of the bond deal, which is scheduled to close March 11. They said the new “landmark” power plant building will Cromwell help market Lawrence as a community that wants to be a player in the green energy market. “In terms of a per capita basis,

we’re going to be producing as much renewable energy as any community in California,” said City Commissioner Aron Cromwell. The plant will produce enough electricity to power about 5,400 homes. The city of Lawrence will act as an issuer for the bonds, but won’t have any financial responsibility to repay the bonds. Private bond buyers are financing the project, but buyers will receive tax breaks that were part of the federal stimulus program, Hill-Nelson said.

JOSEPH WILLIAMS, 54, SAID DETERMINATION was a big factor in earning his high school diploma from the Lawrence Diploma Completion Program, 711W. 23rd St. “He’s been one of the most dedicated students we’ve had,” said Sharen Steele, the program’s project coordinator.

At 54, he finally has his diploma, but the learning is just beginning By Brianne Pfannenstiel bpfannenstiel@ljworld.com

Joseph Williams is a Mississippi native, a community volunteer with the homeless and a proud grandfather. Now, after 54 years, he’s also a high school graduate. Recently, Williams completed his final course credit through the Lawrence Diploma Completion Program, 711 W. 23rd St. The program helps adults complete unfinished high school credits at their own pace to graduate. Unlike the GED, participants don’t bypass courses with a test but are required to finish them just as though they were in high school. When Williams arrived at the program’s office about two and a half years ago, he hadn’t completed a single one of the 46 credits he would need to earn a high school diploma. He dropped out of school at age 16 following the separation of his parents. In a family of 15 with six kids younger than himself, Williams did what was necessary and went to work. After years of work — and plagued by injuries that left him

permanently disabled — Williams moved to Lawrence. He settled down with his granddaughter, 5year-old Keyonna, whom he cares for by himself. When Keyonna started going to school, Williams began to wonder who would help her with her homework. “First she was doing half a day, then she got into full day, and I decided to focus on my education,” Williams said. “I want — I need — my diploma. I need it. I could not leave this world without that.” Motivated by the thought of his granddaughter, Williams persevered through eight English classes, seven social studies courses, six math classes, six science classes, two physical education requirements, two fine arts courses and 15 electives. English was tough. History “fascinating.” But biology is what really consumed Williams. “When he got into biology and the math classes he just really put his whole heart and soul into it, and he really did a great job with it,” said Sharen Steele, Lawrence Diploma Completion Program project coordinator. No matter what, Steele said,

Williams was always there, working away — sometimes as many as 40 hours each week. Even during the last year when Williams was homeless and living off of community resources, he still came to the office to work toward his diploma. “He’s been one of the most dedicated students we’ve had,” Steele said. “He’s been an icon around here. He’s got a really good moral ethic about him, and he’s just been kind of that extra voice in the background for the younger students to hear. They all know Joe.” Williams plans to hang his diploma on the wall at home so everyone can see it when they walk through the front door. He plans to look at it every day. He’s considering taking biology classes through Johnson County Community College. “I don’t think I’ll ever be done with school,” he said. “You learn every day as you go along through life. Even if there isn’t a classroom, you’re still learning.” — Reporter Brianne Pfannenstiel can be reached at 832-6314.

Senate leader promises KPERS funding will be addressed By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

T O P E K A — The leader of the Kansas Senate has vowed that the Legislature will address long-term funding problems with the state’s pension system for teachers and other government workers. “We will have a definitive bill” this session, Senate President Steve Morris, R-Hugoton, said. But he

added that work on the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System would continue for a long time. KPERS faces a projected $7.7 billion gap between future obligations promised to retirees and current workers and anticipated revenues. A proposed Senate bill would increase the state’s contribution to the system. It would also require some workers to chip in more. A plan in the House would create a

401(k)-style plan for new employees. Morris, who was asked by Gov. Sam Brownback to come up with a proposal, said even if a 401(k)-type plan was started, that wouldn’t address closing the unfunded liability under the current plan. State officials emphasize that current retirees’ benefits are safe. — Statehouse reporter Scott Rothschild can be reached at 785-423-0668.

Plans to close Wakarusa Valley School will be up for discussion in two weeks and then up for formal public comment March 28, members of the Lawrence school board decided Monday night. On a 5-2 vote, the board set a formal process for considering a recommendation from the Lawrence Elementary School Facility Vision Task Force to close Wakarusa Valley, 1104 E. 1000 Road, southeast of Clinton Lake. And while board members Bob Byers and Marlene Merrill sought to slow closure proceedings, the rest of the board decided that at least laying the Morgan groundwork for making a decision as soon as possible would be the best approach. “People need to be on notice that this is a possibility,” said Scott Morgan, a board member and co-chairman of the task force. “If we end up closing this or any school, the earlier we do it the better.” Merrill, for her part, said she still had issues that she’d like to consider more carefully. Among them: whether Wakarusa Valley or some other school should close. Task force members had considered three schools — Cordley, Pinckney and Wakarusa Valley — as candidates for closure next year, before settling on Wakarusa Valley. They also recommended consolidating six schools into either four or three schools within three to five years. The board also should propose a bond issue that would address needs in elementary schools, the task force recommended. The board plans to discuss the recommendations March 14, then conduct a formal public hearing March 28. If approved as proposed, Wakarusa Valley would close at the end of this school year. In other action Monday, board members: ● Formalized acceptance of an earlier $529,546 donation from an anonymous donor toward construction of a $1.05 million project for concessions and restrooms at Free State High School. ● Hired B.A. Green Construction, for $34,359, to remodel a room at Lawrence High School for architecture, newspaper and small-engine classes. — Schools reporter Mark Fagan can be reached at 832-7188.

Man gets 14 years in prison

Obama OKs flexibility with health care Anxious to ease deepening political tensions with the states, President Barack Obama on Monday told governors he wants to speed up their ability to enforce his signature health care law on their own terms. But his concession goes only so far: He warned he won’t allow states to weaken the law. He also told them not to vilify their own states’ public workers while struggling with spending cuts. Hosting governors of both parties on his own turf, Obama offered them more flexibility as they cope with painful budget dilemmas. Declaring that he would “go to bat for whatever works,” Obama supported letting states propose their own health care plans by 2014 — three years faster than the current law allows.

Housing overhaul bill in 2 years sought Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner is telling Congress that the Obama administration wants Congress to approve legislation overhauling Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the nation’s troubled housing finance giants, within two years. In remarks he planned to deliver today to the House Financial Services Committee, Geithner said that failing to act by then would worsen uncertainty in the financial markets. He also warned that acting hastily could destabilize the housing finance market and jeopardize the recovery of the economy — remarks that seemed a veiled reference to the desire by some Republicans to end or quickly constrict the government’s role in supporting the nation’s mortgage system.

Officials: Man asked moms to abuse kids A Michigan man built an online profile posing as a good-looking single dad and caring psychologist and persuaded mothers across the country to sexually assault their children as a form of therapy, then send him the images of the attacks, authorities said Monday. Since authorities arrested him in October, seven children were rescued and at least three mothers have been arrested. Prosecutors say all of the children are now safe. Steven Demink, 41, of Redford Township, Mich., appeared in federal court in Detroit to enter his plea on six charges related to the sexual exploitation of children. Seven charges were dropped as part of a plea agreement with prosecutors. He faces 15 years to life in prison when he is sentenced in June. 3 | LIBYA

Pro-Gadhafi forces fight rebels International pressure on Moammar Gadhafi to end a crackdown on opponents escalated Monday as his loyalists fought rebels holding the two cities closest to the capital and his warplanes bombed an ammunition depot in the east. The U.S. moved naval and air forces closer to Libya and said all options were open, including patrols of the North African nation’s skies to protect its citizens from their ruler. France said it would fly aid to the opposition-controlled eastern half of the country. The European Union imposed an arms embargo and other sanctions, following the lead of the U.S. and the U.N. The EU was also considering the creation of a no-fly zone over Libya. And the U.S. and Europe were freezing billions in Libya’s foreign assets. 4 | WEST VIRGINIA

Last WWI doughboy dies at 110 He didn’t seek the spotlight, but when Frank Buckles outlived every other American who’d served in World War I, he became what his biographer called “the humble patriot” and final torchbearer for the memory of that fading conflict. Buckles, born in Missouri in 1901, enlisted in World War I at 16 after lying about his age. He died Sunday on his farm in Charles Town, nearly a month after his 110th birthday. He had devoted the last years of his life to campaigning for greater recognition for his former comrades, prodding politicians to support a national memorial in Washington and working with friend and family spokesman David DeJonge on a biography.

A fire early Monday morning caused major damage to an old farmhouse south of Clinton Lake. A little before 7 a.m., a fire broke out in the 500 section of North 900 Road, which is south of County Road 458 and west of the town of Lone Star. Electrical rewiring in an

upstairs bedroom was the likely cause of the fire, said Spence Martin, chief of Osage County Fire District No. 4, which serves Marion Township in Douglas County. About 5 a.m. one of the home’s occupants noticed the lights weren’t working and flipped the breaker back on. An hour or so later, someone passing by the house alerted the family that smoke was coming out of the attic and roof, Martin said. The family was able to leave

the home safely. No one was injured. More than half a dozen local f ire departments responded to the fire, which destroyed the home’s roof and most of the second floor, Martin said. The house is uninhabitable. The Red Cross is providing the family of two adults and four children with food, clothing and lodging. — Reporter Christine Metz can be reached at 832-6352.

A Douglas County judge on Monday sentenced a 31-year-old Lawrence man to serve nearly 14 years in prison for attacking a woman on a southwest Lawrence bicycle path. William E. Nichols pleaded guilty in January to aggravated kidnapping, aggravated battery and aggravated sexual battery in connection with a June 16, 2010, incident in which a 23-year-old woman was attacked and stabbed as she was riding on a bike path between the Youth Sports Complex and Clinton Lake. District Judge Peggy Kittel followed terms of a plea agreement and ordered Nichols to serve the harshest sentence he could for the aggravated kidnapping count. She ordered Nichols to concurrently serve lesser sentences for the other two charges. He must register as a sex offender for life. In court, the woman, who no longer lives in the country, said she still experiences physical Please see ATTACK, page 5A

School board hopeful calls for active role in feedback RICK INGRAM, A PROFESSOR OF PSYCHOLOGY AT KU, is campaigning for one of four seats on the Lawrence school board. Ingram says he wants to give back to the community that has served him and his family so well.

ONLINE: See video of Rick Ingram answering three questions about his candidacy at LJWorld.com

When it comes to leading Lawrence public schools, Rick Ingram doesn’t have all the answers. Or pretend to. But to see the benefits generated through open minds, flexible thinking and shared ideas, Ingram needs only show up at the starting line for the Hillcrest Hawkathon Club, just as he does each Monday and Thursday morning. The combination of 40 kids with a handful of volunteers produces plenty of energy, motivation and goals the students at Hillcrest School can use to focus, exercise and succeed. “When we started this running club at Hillcrest, it was because Langston Hughes had this great idea — a marathon club — and for us it was, ‘Yeah, we can do that,’ ” said Ingram, the club’s starter and a candidate for Lawrence school board. Such a model, he said, can

help the Lawrence school district in the long run. “I really want to find ways to actively solicit feedback and ideas from the community, parents and teachers,” he said. “Being willing to listen to ideas is fine, but doesn’t go very far. We need to solicit that information, so we really create a partnership.” Ingram, a professor of psychology at Kansas University, is among nine people campaigning for four available seats on the school board. The general election is April 5, with winners

set to begin four-year terms in July. Ingram, 56, says he’s running because he wants to give back to the community that has served him and his family so well since 2004, when he moved back to Lawrence to join the faculty at KU after 21 years at San Diego State University. The professional stint at San Diego State came after receiving master’s and doctoral degrees in psychology at KU, after having received his bachelor’s at San Diego State, the campus practically adjacent to a childhood home.

“I have two basketball teams that are going great,” he said, of the Jayhawks and Aztecs. “My fantasy is that they meet in the final game, and then I pull for KU.” That game would come the day before election day, another contest he wants to win. He supports: ● Striving for excellence. “I want to have the top-ranked high schools in the state,” he said. “I mean that in academics, but I also mean that in athletics, in the arts, in music — in everything. I think the kids need to receive a well-rounded education.” ● Starting early. Emphasizing STEM subjects — science, technology, engineering and math — in elementary and middle schools would help provide a “strong foundation” for high school, he said. ● Being transparent. To ensure that tax dollars are spent wisely, he said, the district’s budgeting process should be “as transparent as possible.” All Please see SCHOOL, page 5A

Nichols said he tried to seek mental health treatment in Topeka and Lawrence before the incident but couldn’t afford it because he had no health insurance. Defense attorney Michael Clarke didn’t ask Kittel to deviate from the plea agreement, but he did talk about

the effect of state budget cuts on mental health services. “I think that should weigh heavily not only on what this court does, but what this community does as well,” he said. Kittel said the victim in the case still suffered from the effects “of this brutal attack.” “Unfortunately our prisons are full of people who have mental health issues, and also unfortunately that doesn’t change the effect that this crime had on the victim,” she said.

ajor research universities often are looked to as the primary source of research and innovation. However, when it comes to actually implementing changes, especially changes in the higher education system itself, small liberal arts colleges may be in a much better position to take a leading role. A case in point is the education overhaul being proposed by Baker University in Baldwin City. Recognizing the drastically different demands placed on current university graduates, Baker officials are looking at major changes in the school’s general education requirements. The new model will shift the focus from students simply fulfilling course requirements to students actually developing the skills that potential employers are looking for: strong written and verbal communication Small liberal arts skills, creative thinking, global universities like and ethical awareBaker are far more ness and an ability limber when it to work in teams.

The associate dean for Baker’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences noted, “A lot of our students will have jobs when they graduate that don’t exist today.” If that isn’t the case when they graduate, it certainly will be true of the jobs they will have before they retire. An ability to communicate, assess situations and adapt is an essential part of their education. Like students, higher education also has to be willing to adapt to change, but it can be difficult to turn a ship as large as a major state university. Small liberal arts universities like Baker are far more limber when it comes to revamping the way they prepare students. They are in a far better position to act as pioneers in education innovation. The academic course that Baker envisions for itself makes excellent sense. It responds to changing demands in the job market in a way that could put Baker graduates in high demand with potential employers. The school could provide a laboratory to test curriculum changes that could benefit much larger universities in the years to come. It’s great to see Baker officials being willing to rise to the challenge of making changes to benefit both students and future employers.

Old regime may derail change in Egypt CAIRO — Mohamed ElBaradei, Nobel laureate and former head of the U.N.’s nuclear watchdog agency, is worried that Egypt’s revolution will be hijacked by remnants of the old regime. The sharp-tongued ElBaradei became a hero when he returned to his native Egypt a year ago to galvanize opposition to Hosni Mubarak. Young Egyptians promoted him on the Internet as a presidential challenger to Mubarak or his son Gamal. But he was vilified by the regime as a traitor and foreign agent and kept off the airwaves; he was virtually forced to leave. He came back for the Jan. 25 revolution and is widely considered a top candidate for president. Yet, when I visited him at his comfortable villa just outside Cairo, he was totally frustrated. He complained that the military — which is now in charge — won’t do what the country desperately needs. “The head of the regime is gone, but most of the regime is still staying,” he told me. “My worry is if all the young people feel this thing is being derailed they know a way back to the street, but it will be ugly.”

Jubilation tempered Indeed, when I visited Friday’s huge demonstration at Tahrir Square, the mood, while still celebratory, was far less jubilant than last week. Demonstrators demanded that the army sack Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq and other ministers close to Mubarak. Then, in the early hours of Saturday, soldiers used batons and Tasers to clear the square — the first time the army used force against the protesters. The military council later apologized —

on its Facebook page — but the tensions remain. Americans have a big stake in the outcome of this revolution. Of all the upheavals in the Middle East, Egypt’s has the best prospects of producing a democratic system. Libya remains a tribal society bereft of viable institutions. Yemen, too, is enmeshed in tribal conflicts, complicated by the presence of al-Qaida. Even Tunisia, where the chain of revolts began, is struggling to regroup after the fall of its dictator, as its tourismbased economy tanks. With its large middle class, its many talented professionals, and its huge force of Facebook techies, Egypt has a fighting chance to make postrevolutionary progress. Egypt’s army, lion-

ized by the public for refusing to fire on the rebels, had been seen as the bulwark that would oversee the transfer to new elections. A successful Egyptian transition — even one with big bumps — would help stabilize a region that looks set for a long period of unrest.

Military tied to old guard But suspicion is setting in among the rebels that the army wants to partially restore the old system. The Higher Military Council, which is the real power in the country, is headed by the elderly Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi, who was very close to Mubarak. The council is insisting on holding both presidential and parliamentary elections within six months, even though most political activists here believe that would be a disaster. “If you do elections in six months,” says ElBaradei, “the only people who will benefit are the Muslim Brotherhood and the old government party, which is trying to reincarnate itself and still has its tentacles out.” These two groups are the best organized; new political parties are just getting started. Such a parliament would fail to represent the silent majority — the 80 percent of Egyptians who don’t vote and have never been involved in civic activity, but were galvanized in the past two months. ElBaradei sees one of two explanations for the army’s rush to elections: “Either the army feels it has a hot potato (running the country) and wants to get rid of it. Or they want a parliament and president who will act as a façade for the continuation of the old regime.” It’s hard to figure out what the

Egyptian generals want because they rarely speak to the press or public. “The army is still a black box,” ElBaradei says, and he’s not exaggerating. Three generals appeared on a popular talk show last week — to insist that the weekly demos in Tahrir Square should stop and the public should trust them. The military council has held one meeting with eight young leaders of the revolution. But one of these leaders told me: “The generals stopped taking notes when we started talking about delaying elections for one year.” Another meeting is in the works, but the young rebels fear that they are being patronized.

Inspiring movement It’s inspiring to talk with these young men (and they are mostly men) who are struggling to form new liberal and social democratic parties. Their talk of mobilizing the massive youth bulge to vote and of raising campaign funds on Facebook is talk I’ve never heard in the Mideast. The army could allay their fears by firing Shafiq, or easing the obstacles to forming political parties, or getting rid of the Neanderthals who run state TV (and still refuse to interview ElBaradei). It could replace the military council with a more open presidency council that included civilians. Most important, it could delay elections until new parties can organize. As ElBaradei rightly says, the country needs “a government that represents the people who went to the street.” And as he warns, “The old regime still hasn’t gone away.” — Trudy Rubin is a columnist and editorial board member for the Philadelphia Inquirer.

OLD HOME TOWN

During a recent protest rally in front of Kansas University’s Strong Hall, an YEARS estimated crowd of AGO 300 accused AttorIN 1986 ney General Vern Miller of using a recent drug raid on Lawrence to further his own political ambitions and personal image. A young man, who gave his name as Mark Richard Creamer, told of his experience of being arrested in the raid and said that illegal searches had been made and that lawsuits alleging invasion of privacy might result.

A new sort of neighborhood was being planned for western Lawrence. YEARS The Lawrence-DouAGO glas County PlanIN 1971 ning Commission had recently approved a final plat for a 696-foot private drive to serve an eight-acre, 19-lot residential subdivision. The subdivision would also include “exacting landscaping and building requirements.” The development was planned for south of Turnberry Drive and west of Inverness.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for March 1, 1911: YEARS “J. C. Walton AGO favors working the IN 1911 twenty-five convicted bootleggers on the paved streets of Lawrence. He would divide them into one or two squads under a guard and compel them to clean and wash the streets until their sentences have expired. It is the custom of many states to work their felons on roads, and the commissioner believes similar advantage should be taken of the county prisoners.” “There has been no coasting on Indiana Street since the snow. Because of the immense number of serious accidents earlier in the winter the police concluded to forbid coasting, and a cop has visited the long hill every night to keep bobs off its surface.” “Wm. Evans, the aviator, returned from Kansas City last night and will remain in Lawrence until weather conditions permit him to give his series of aerial flights. He is determined to fly before removing his bi-plane from this city, even if it becomes necessary to scrape enough snow off Woodland Park to permit the necessary start.” — Compiled by Sarah St. John

Whitechapel Metal acts tend to avoid Lawrence, but tonight’s band Whitechapel apparently didn’t get the memo. The Knoxville, Tenn., band will be out in full force at the Granada, 1020 Mass., tonight as part of its Welcome to Hell tour. Like most hardcore metal bands, Whitechapel depends on the deep, throaty howl of its frontman and the crunch of some seriously thunderous guitars to get the message of murder, death and destruction across — y’know, for kids. Like most hardcore metal, which isn’t radio- or TVfriendly enough for mass exposure, Whitechapel has instead had to depend on steady touring and a small, but rabid, fan base. Tickets are $18, all ages. Doors open at 7:30 p.m.

Revamped LPD website now features call list The Lawrence Police Department on Monday unveiled a public list of calls officers responded to in the last 48 hours on its website, lawrenceks.org/police. “As part of the effort to keep the community informed we are releasing a component of our website that will now allow citizens to see a snapshot of calls for service,” said public affairs Sgt. Matt Sarna. The list, which is updated on the hour, includes any call from the previous 48 hours that is considered safe. Sarna said some calls could take a few hours to appear online while others may be up in nearly realtime. “This depends on officer and citizen safety issues, scene security and the sensitivity of ongoing investigations,” he said. At 3:30 p.m. Monday, the list included hundreds of calls that occurred from 2:30 p.m. Monday and dating back to 3 p.m. Saturday. It includes the type of call, time, address, how many officers responded and a report number if one was taken. The department in late January reorganized its website to include several new features, including a map of crimes reported in the city in 2010.

KU MEN’S BASKETBALL SENIOR NIGHT

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Reed no longer nervous Bill Self and Tyrel Reed, both sons of basketball coaches and both excellent students in the classroom and on the hardwood, seemingly had a lot in common. Yet, for a pair of 6foot-3 guys, they didn’t necessarily see eye-to-eye at first. It’s not that Reed, who played for his father, Stacy Reed, at Burlington High, didn’t like his new basketball coach. He just couldn’t shake his harsh critiques at first. “Tyrel came in as a nervous kid,” Self said. “Really nervous around me and didn’t get me at all for a while. As he’s matured and developed, I think he’s one of the most fun kids to be around.” As a freshman, Reed played just 144 minutes and averaged 2.0 points in 23 games. The growing pains came in practice. “Growing up as a coach’s son, I’d always faced a little yelling in my life,” Tyrel said. “I wouldn’t say coach Self’s yelling really got to me that much. I didn’t know how to respond to it as much, it not being from my dad. I couldn’t take it with a grain of salt. I hung onto things. Coach Self doesn’t hang onto things. He’ll say what he wants to say, and then it’s over with. He can joke with you the next play. But I just wasn’t used to that, and I didn’t know how to respond.” Reed has the confidence now to look back on those days with a smile. “I was just nervous, never wanting to mess up, trying to please everyone,” he said. “I didn’t have any fun. I wouldn’t say I didn’t have any fun. I had fun, but I didn’t have as much fun as I could have had along the way. Now I’ve kind of loosened up. I can joke with him, and I enjoy being around him, enjoy being around all the coaches.” As Marcus Morris revealed earlier this year when talking about his coach and his friend Jacob Pullen’s coach, Frank Martin of Kansas State, Self’s demeanor has a rougher edge when he’s wearing a whistle than when he’s wearing a suit and tie. “I was like, ‘Man, he’s always on me. I don’t know what to do.’ But I got used to it, and I realized it just comes with the territory, and he really loves all his players,” Reed said. It took guts for Reed to come to Kansas, where playing time can be hard to earn for a smalltown Kansas kid. He never looked at it that way. If he hadn’t committed during the early period with Kansas, he said, he might have signed with North Carolina in the spring. He thought he was good enough to earn big minutes for an elite college basketball team, and he was right. Nothing about him suggests anxiety now. When the ball gets in his hands, he either keeps it moving with a quick, purposeful pass, or he shoots it, or he attacks the hoop with a hard drive, something he didn’t do in earlier years. Reed’s averaging 27.4 minutes, 9.8 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.5 steals, all career highs. His parents will be on hand Wednesday for their son’s final game in Allen Fieldhouse. Stacy has been to every game, home and away. They’ll be watching a confident man, not a nervous teenager.

Big step for Little Family proud of Chicago native

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

O’Keefe Little, who delivers pizza in one of the roughest neighborhoods of Chicago, never has to dodge bullets while working his route. “Nobody bothers me. It’s because I’m Mario’s uncle. Mario is a hero around here in the ‘Wild 100s,’’’ said Little, uncle of Kansas University senior basketball player Mario Little. “The Wild 100s” is a nickname for Roseland — Mario’s old neighborhood, which covers 103rd to 119th Streets on the far South Side. “Crime is down. The streets are clear whenever Kansas is on TV or the Bulls are on TV,” O’Keefe said proudly. O’Keefe and several other members of Mario’s extended family will be about 500 miles from the mean streets of Roseland on Wednesday. A group that includes Mario’s mother, Margie, and 85-year-old grandmother, Hazel Lucille, will be in Allen Fieldhouse for the final home game of Mario’s college career. KU will play host to Texas A&M in an 8 p.m. Senior Day battle to be aired on ESPN2. “I just want to say Mario had no chance of making it in life without Kansas,” O’Keefe Little said Monday in a phone interview. “Mario’s classmates have fallen by the wayside in the ghetto. The streets here are where people die. “There’s gang life, drive-by shooters. If Mario had stayed in Chicago, he’d be involved in that. He’s had friends shot, beaten to death, sentenced to prison. “We tell him, ‘You don’t want to be here. We’d rather you be in Kansas and “Dorothy.”’” It hasn’t been all smooth sailing in the Land of Oz — “I’ve had a couple bumps in the road, but I’m still here standing,” said Mario, who received diversion for two misdemeanor battery charges in mid January. Not proud of that situation, Mario is beaming over the fact he needs to pass just one three-hour math class to earn his KU degree in African-American Studies.

Ballard shows skills at NFL combine By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Former Free State High standout Christian Ballard, a threeyear starter at defensive tackle for the University of Iowa football team, had his day in front of the scouts Monday at the NFL combine in Indianapolis. Ballard was among the top performers at his position in two of the seven areas tested. His 4.8second 40-yard dash time was the 12th best by a D-lineman, and

his 31.5-inch vertical jump was the 14th best in the same group. NFLDraftScout.com has Ballard’s three-cone drill time at 7.54 seconds and also lists his broad jump at 9 feet, 3 inches. However, neither mark is official, and no other results were available at press time. Ballard arrived in Indy on Friday and began the combine processional with a clear understanding of what was at stake. Please see BALLARD, page 3B

KU women focused on Iowa State game By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

When: 7 tonight Where: Iowa State Records: KU 19-9, 6-8 Big 12; Iowa State 20-8, 8-6.

Already in possession of the most wins in conference play during her seven seasons at Kansas University, Bonnie Henrickson enters tonight’s women’s basketball game against Iowa State — 7 p.m. in Ames, Iowa — with a little more than a personal milestone on her mind. Asked after last weekend’s home victory against Nebraska, where she thought the Jayhawks

stood in relation to the upcoming NCAA Tournament, Henrickson kept her focus right where it’s been for the past few weeks — on the next opponent. “We need to beat Iowa State,” Henrickson said. “And I think that is all we have talked about when we huddle up.” Winner of five of its last seven games, Henrickson’s club has more than made up for a January swoon in which it lost f ive Please see JAYHAWKS, page 3B

Kansas State 75, No. 7 Texas 70 A U S T I N , T E X A S — Rodney McGruder scored 22 points, and surging Kansas State muscled past slumping Texas on Monday night, the Wildcats’ fifth straight win. Jacob Pullen scored 16 of his 20 points in the second half despite falling hard on his right wrist as Kansas State (21-9, 9-6 Big 12) sent the Longhorns to their second straight loss and third in four games. Two weeks ago, the Longhorns (24-6, 12-3) were in first place in the Big 12 and among the top contenders for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. They met their defensive match in a muscular game with the Wildcats, who held the Longhorns to 34 percent shooting and beat them on their home court for the third straight season. Tristan Thompson had 26 points and 10 rebounds for Texas,

Lewis sharp as Rangers clip Royals SURPRISE, ARIZ. (AP) — Texas Rangers postseason ace Colby Lewis is already getting better in spring training. Lewis threw two shutout innings in his Cactus League debut Monday, a 12-11 victory over the Kansas City Royals that became a slugfest after he was gone. Three days earlier, the right-hander gave up five runs in an inning against the Rangers’ primary starters in an intrasquad game. “I’m about like where I should feel. My arm feels really good, it feels like it’s bouncing back really well,” Lewis said. “There’s still some small things that I’m rushing a little bit, but that all comes with time and being out there.” When the Rangers went to their first World Series last year, Lewis was 3-0 with a 1.71 ERA in four postseason starts in his first season back from Japan to the team that drafted him in 1999. Lewis struggled a bit with his command Monday, throwing only 17 of 33 pitches for strikes. Still, he walked just one batter and struck out one. “He’s getting his work in and getting through it conveniently,” manager Ron Washington said. Mike Napoli and Ian Kinsler homered for Texas. Napoli, traded from the Los Angeles Angels to Toronto and then to Texas in a five-day span last month, hit a two-run homer in the fourth. Kinsler, who is back in the leadoff spot for the Rangers, added a three-run shot later in the inning. The Rangers took the lead for good in the seventh when Engle Beltre’s RBI groundout snapped a 10-all tie. Beltre also had a long running catch in center field. Kansas City got homers from its top two prospects in camp, Eric Hosmer and Mike Moustakas. “It’s great to see Moose and Hos break out with a homer and give our fans a little bit what they’ve been hearing about,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. In 118 minor-league games last season for two teams, Moustakas hit .322 with 36 homers and 118 RBIs. Royals starter Vin Mazzaro also pitched two scoreless innings.

Ohio State returns to No. 1 in men’s poll; KU moves up to No. 2 After getting through its toughest stretch of the season, Ohio State is back at No. 1. For the third week in a row, the Associated Press Top 25 poll has had a new team on top. The Buckeyes climbed a spot over Duke, which lost at Virginia Tech on Saturday night. The Buckeyes welcome their return. “I tell our team all the time we want to be No. 1 at the end of the season,” coach Thad Matta said on Monday. “We want to be playing our best basketball in March. Moving to No. 1 is a tribute to how hard our guys have worked all year. We appreciate the recognition and our guys certainly deserve it.” Ohio State received 45 first-place votes from the 65-member national media panel, easily outdistancing Kansas, which moves up one place with 14 No. 1 votes. BYU, which had five first-place votes, jumped from seventh to third, while Pittsburgh remained fourth, tied with Duke, which had one first-place vote. Purdue, Texas, Notre

Dame, San Diego State and Wisconsin round out the top 10.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL Sampson, Knight, Sutton join Hall KANSAS CITY, MO. — The trophy case in the home of Ralph Sampson’s mother is about to get a little more crowded. Sampson, the 7-foot-4 Virginia center and three-time Atlantic Coast Conference player of the year, joined seven others Monday, including coaches Bob Knight and Eddie Sutton, as the newest members of the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame. “I hope everybody who watched me play, at the collegiate level or the NBA level or any level, high school as well, enjoyed me while I was playing,” Sampson said in a conference call that included Cazzie Russell, the former Michigan great who was also named to the 2011 class.

Also in the class announced Monday are players James Worthy of North Carolina and Chris Mullin of St. John’s and contributors Joe Vancisin and Eddie Einhorn.

COLLEGE WOMEN UConn is No. 1, top 5 unchanged Connecticut remained No. 1 in women’s college basketball, with the first five teams in the Top 25 unchanged in the poll by the AP.

KU baseball wins, still a work in progress By Ben Ward Journal-World Sports Writer

Just as a few piles of snow are still melting in the corners of Hoglund Ballpark, the Kansas University baseball team is slowly working its way into mid-spring form. Take the Jayhawks’ 5-2 home victory over Iowa on a chilly Monday afternoon, for example. Senior T.J. Walz pitched six innings, allowing one run off two hits to earn his first victory after losses in his first two appearances. But Walz, who was uncharacteristically wild in a forgettable season debut at TCU, struggled with his control again on Monday. “Five walks?” Walz said of his bases-on-balls total. “That many?” Walz said he never felt right timing-wise out of the windup, but managed to make a few adjustments in the bullpen during KU’s at-bat in the fourth inning. “When he was in the

Ballard CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

“If you have a good work ethic and you perform at the combine, people are gonna know that this is something you take seriously,” said Ballard on his 1:17 NFL.com combine vignette. “You can have fun... (But) at the same time, you gotta take it like it’s a job interview because it is.” On Saturday, we learned that he stands 6-foot-4, weighs 283 pounds, has an arm length of 33 inches and a hand that measures just a hair over 10 inches. Trivial as these things may seem, they’re Ballard the type of stats that can elevate a player’s draft stock by as much as an entire round. Sunday, Ballard left the Xrays, exams and orientations behind and moved on to the psychological aspects of the annual event. He took the Wonderlic test, met with the NFL Players Association and was interviewed by a representative from nearly every team. Common among topics during such interviews are: family life, school, social life, hobbies and goals and dreams. Though there are dozens of different mock draft sites, Ballard consistently has been listed in the range of late-first round through early-third picks in the April 28-30 draft. ESPN draft gurus Mel Kiper Jr. and Todd McShay rank Ballard as one of the top five or six defensive tackles available, and, in one of Kiper’s mock drafts, Ballard was tapped as a first-round pick, No. 29 overall. “I never thought that I would be one of these people being drafted,” said Ballard on the combine video. “So, it’s kind of crazy.”

Jayhawks CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

straight after opening Big-12 play at 1-1. In improving from 1-6 to 6-8, KU has matched the most conference wins it has recorded during Henrickson’s time in Lawrence. With two games remaining before next week’s Big 12 tournament, this year’s squad has a chance not only to eclipse the six-win ceiling that Henrickson’s previous teams have struggled to break through, but also could be in line to reach the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2000. “If we continue this run, we enhance our chances to do something special,” Henrickson said. “But we have to keep the run going.” That won’t be easy tonight, as Kansas (19-9 overall, 6-8 in Big 12) faces the 24th-ranked Iowa State team it defeated in overtime on Feb. 9. In that one, Kansas led by as many as 15 points before watching a furious rally from ISU send the game into overtime.

KANSAS’ CHRIS MANSHIP IS GREETED by his teammates after scoring against Iowa on Monday at Hoglund Ballpark. windup, he was just not finishing, kind of flying open,” catcher Alex DeLeon said. Walz said he felt much more comfortable throwing out of the stretch, and it showed. Though Walz struggled to locate his fastball, his off-speed pitches were working fine, as the 6-foot-1 right-hander baffled lefties with his change-up and buckled right-handers’ knees with his curveball. Walz finished with eight

strikeouts. After surrendering an RBI double to Tyson Blaser, which put Iowa on top 1-0 in the second inning, he only allowed only three baserunners the rest of the way. “I was pleased that he got better as the game went on,” coach Ritch Price said. “But certainly his strength has been his ability to locate his fastball,” Price added. “And right now, he’s a little bit elevated in the zone.” Offensively, the Jayhawks

(2-3) still looked like a team that hasn’t hit against a ton of live, in-game pitching. KU, hitting only .158 as a team, rapped six singles, two apiece from DeLeon and Jason Brunansky, but mostly capitalized off of a wild group of Iowa pitchers who issued six walks and hit five batters. “Certainly there’s a lot more walks and a lot more hit batters than you normally see during any point in time during the season,” said Price, whose club totaled seven free passes and one HBP. The Jayhawks will play six more games this week, starting with a doubleheader against Southern Utah at 3 p.m. today at Hoglund Ballpark. “The thing we need is to play some games and play some innings and have guys try to find their rhythm a little bit,” Price said. “I think it’ll give us a chance to make progress offensively. Because right now, we’re not very good offensively.”

Don’t cut out relatives because of ‘trivial’ issue Annie’s Mailbox

Dear Annie: My dad is 87 and has a bunch of medical problems, yet he continues to drink. It’s less than he used to imbibe, but I don’t think he should be having any alcohol at all. I have said this to both of my parents, and their only response is that Dad’s doctor said it is OK. I don’t believe any decent doctor would tell an elderly man in poor heath that it’s all right to drink. I suspect some of Dad’s curanniesmailbox@creators.com rent medical problems were She replied that I was “over- caused by excessive drinking. He was an angry, volatile and reacting.” As a result, Zack has said he verbally abusive drunk. What would rather not see his grandparents for Easter and suggested we stay home. The problem is, the only times we can visit my parents are during school holidays. Annie, I don’t want my family to miss out on Zack’s life because of something so trivial. I want him to spend time with his relatives, but their attitudes are driving a wedge between us. Any suggestions before I buy an Easter ham? — Proud Parent

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

In a move guaranteed to irk “Glee” fans, “American Idol” (7 p.m., Fox) arrives one night early to air a 90-minute helping of the top-10 male contestants. Viewer voting begins tonight, at a time when “Idol” finally gets interesting to some. For the better part of this century, I’ve been promising myself not to get hooked on “Idol” and waste countless hours waiting for the likes of Crystal Bowersox to be crowned only to see them lose to safer and more predictable talents. And so far this year I’ve done a pretty good job of avoiding “Idol” entirely. I feel as if I’ve been given hours, if not whole days, of my life back. It hasn’t been all that hard staying on (or is it off ?) the “American Idol” wagon. The prospect of watching Steve Tyler is one incentive. Just why one of the more swaggering figures of the classic-rock era has transformed himself into someone who looks like a dentist’s first wife is a mystery to me. And a little Jennifer Lopez goes a long way. I tuned in last week only to watch her sob uncontrollably as the burden of eliminations became too, too much. She did a good job of reminding us that before she became a pop star, she earned her living as an actress. But as of tonight, the competition begins in earnest, and so does the voting. I can feel the gravitational tug of planet “Idol” growing ever stronger. Old habits, particularly bad ones, die hard. ● The grim but fascinating “Independent Lens” (9 p.m., PBS, check local listings) presentation “Me Facing Life: Cyntoia’s Story” offers remarkable access to a teenage prisoner facing life in prison for murder. The film makes no excuses for Cyntoia’s crime, but rather interviews therapists, foster parents and the prisoner’s biological mother and grandmother to offer a bleak portrait of abuse, fetal alcohol syndrome and prostitution compounded by a legacy of mental illness. In a rather chilling interview, Cyntoia seems less than amazed that she will spend her remaining years in prison. The real tragedy of her life, she calculates with bloodcurdling dispassion, was that she was ever born at all.

Tonight’s other highlights ● Sophie works her spell on Jim and George on “No Ordinary Family” (7 p.m., ABC). ● Motown artists appear on “In Performance at the White House” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings). ● Sam and Callen undertake a dangerous mission to Yemen on “NCIS: Los Angeles” (8 p.m., CBS). ● Erica assumes command of the resistance on “V” (8 p.m., ABC). ● Burt just doesn’t cut it on “Raising Hope” (8:30 p.m., Fox). ● A man is subject to grim abuse after a social-networking site fails to protect his privacy on “The Good Wife” (9 p.m., CBS). ● Adam and Kristina find Max hard to reach on “Parenthood” (9 p.m., NBC). ● A coed’s murder galvanizes the squad on “Detroit 1-8-7” (9 p.m., ABC). ● Lights finds a new way to train on “Lights Out” (9 p.m., FX).

Dear Florida: You could call Dad’s doctor and inform him your father is still drinking, and the doctor will handle it from there. But your father is 87 and has curtailed his alcohol consumption. It’s unlikely he will give it up entirely. — Please e-mail your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or write to Annie’s Mailbox, P.O. Box 118190 Chicago, IL 60611.

can I do to convince my parents that continued drinking is not OK? — Frustrated in Florida

Dear Parent: Buy the Easter ham, and tell your relatives that you will be celebrating holidays at home until they can show a measure of respect and tolerance. People will treat you the way you demand to be treated. (But please give them another chance over the summer.)

THAT SCRAMBLED WORD GAME

by David L. Hoyt and Jeff Knurek

Unscramble these four Jumbles, one letter to each square, to form four ordinary words.

URHYR EKPTOC VCAIED

Dear Annie: I’m a single father of a 16-year-old son whom I have raised since he was 2. “Zack” is mature and carries himself with confidence. When Zack took up sports and his schedule became busy, we found that it was sometimes necessary to share the bathroom. While he showers, I shave, or while I shower, he does his hair. Last summer, my brother visited us and inadvertently witnessed one such episode where Zack and I needed to get ready at the same time. He didn’t say anything to me but apparently told several family members, including my parents. When my son and I visited for Thanksgiving, it ended up being the main topic of conversation, with words such as “unnatural,” “unhealthy” and “disturbing” being tossed around. One relative actually told my son it was going to make him gay. Zack understands that sharing the bathroom is no different than showering with his friends after gym class. I did my best to explain this to my family, but no one wanted to listen. When we visited at Christmas, the subject came up again, and we put up with their narrowminded views until I saw how upset Zack was. We left early. When my mother called the next day to ask why, I told her.

Gary Bedore’s KU hoops notebook Starters revealed Kansas University coach Bill Self said he would start seniors Brady Morningstar, Tyrel Reed and Mario Little to go with the Morris twins in Wednesday’s 8 p.m. Senior Night game against Texas A&M. He said sophomore point guard Elijah Johnson, who has started the past two games for suspended junior Tyshawn Taylor, would be first guard off the bench. Self was asked on his Hawk Talk radio show if he’d come to a resolution regarding Taylor’s status. “There probably is in our (coaches) mind. I will not say anything yet. He has done well,” Self said. “He has to take care of some business. He is well on his way to taking care of that. I’ll keep it at that until everything is complete.” As far as Johnson being ahead of Taylor in the rotation, Self said: “It doesn’t matter if we bring Tyshawn back or not. Elijah has earned that right (to be first guard off bench),” Self said, noting Johnson would be starting point guard if the NCAA Tournament started today. “I like Tyshawn and his game and a lot of things, but we played pretty well when he didn’t play. It’s not something I feel we have to change what we’re doing.” Morris on list Marcus Morris on Monday was named one of 10 finalists

“Only one person has graduated out of my family, my cousin,” Mario said. “My uncle has pushed me to graduate — to make my grandmother proud and all that.” O’Keefe and Hazel — she’s yet to see a game in Allen; O’Keefe’s been here before — helped raise Mario and push him through an especially turbulent time of his life. “You know what is surreal for me,” O’Keefe said, “I remember when Mario folded his arms in grammar school, got straight F’s and said, ‘I’m not doing nothing and nobody’s going to make me.’ His grandmother loved him and nursed him in summer school, told him how to unfold his arms and not be angry at the world and do his assignments. Somebody (mentor Tommy Dobson) gave him a basketball and said, ‘You can’t play the game if you do not make the grade.’ He’s not looked back since.” Mario Little admits attaining a college degree was not always a top priority. “I didn’t know what I was going to do in high school,” Little said. “By my sophomore year of junior college, I figured I’d get a degree. I’m a good student,” he insisted. “I don’t start trouble, just maybe not always do my work or

Self said. “Coaches even though they want to discipline their guys I don’t think want to embarrass their guys. I want them (players) to understand if I get on them and these are the ramifications they understand it but also it stays within us. It has to be that way.” Self was told there have Brevity works been some wild rumors in the Self said he placed a fourInternet. minute limit on Wednesday’s “I have heard some of the Senior Day speeches. rumors going on.

something. I’m not a bad student.” Little — he starred at Chicago’s George Washington High, then moved on to become junior college player of the year his sophomore season at Chipola (Fla.) Community College — has been a key performer off the bench in his two seasons at KU. He also served a red-shirt campaign. “I mean, I try to bring something to the table,” said Little, more than willing to play the role of an undersized 6-6, 218pound power forward, as well as wing. “I like to get out on the defensive end and get other guys open looks. I try to play with energy. “I (also) take a couple open shots,” added Little, who averages 6.2 points a game off 51.9 percent shooting in 15.6 minutes a game. Coach Bill Self likes to joke about Little taking A LOT of open, and guarded, shots. “Mario’s role is to give us a boost off the bench and to score if need be. He will certainly try his hardest to oblige,” Self cracked. On a serious note ... “He also give us an element of toughness. I think with Mario, this guy came in as a very heralded player. Then he had to have a rod put in his leg (surgery, April 2009) and fight through injuries and some obstacles. He’s a team guy. He’s my kind of guy. Mario is a tough winner,” Self added. This tough guy, who happens

to play a mean keyboard and still performs for the congregation at Roseland Presbyterian Church on trips home, does not know whether he’ll weep during pre-game introductions and/or his postgame Senior Night speech Wednesday. “I never know with me. I don’t know how I’m going to feel. I might be sad. I might be happy,” said Little, who said he plans on peeking at a “notecard with bullet points” to make sure he doesn’t forget anybody to thank. “I’m going to embrace it and try to focus on the game.” That might be hard to do with teammates/ buddies Brady Morningstar and Tyrel Reed also taking part in emotional Senior Day activities. “It means everything to me,” Little said of KU. “When you first come here, coach Self tells you, ‘You will not get it until you leave.’ It’s almost that time. I get it now. KU means a lot to me.” And to relatives such as O’Keefe. “I’ll be the guy in the stands with the sign that says, ‘Bill Self For President,’’’ O’Keefe said. “KU has meant everything to Mario. KU has saved Mario. “I need to stop now. This is making me cry,” O’Keefe added, politely ending Monday’s interview about Mario. “Mario is like a son to me. Mario never knew his dad. I tell him, ‘an uncle is like a dad. You’ve got family.’ He knows he’s got family here and at KU.”
