Two former Kansas Athletics Inc. employees are in line to spend two years on probation and pay thousands of dollars in restitution for their roles in a ticket-skimming

scheme that cost the department at least $2 million. Jason Jeffries and Brandon Simmons are scheduled to receive their sentences Monday during separate hearings before U.S. District Judge Wesley Brown, in U.S. District Court in Wichita. On Wednesday, Brown filed a “ten-

tative” ruling that calls for Jeffries and Simmons to spend two years on probation on their convictions. Both have pleaded guilty to misprision of a felony — failing to inform authorities about their knowledge of the tickets scheme at KU. Brown intends to order the two to pay restitution: Simmons would be

MADISON VAUGHN, 12, LAWRENCE, picks out some kumquats Wednesday at The Merc, 901 Iowa, while shopping for groceries with her mother, Laura Vaughn. A new community health assessment released Wednesday by the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department says, among other things, that we are not eating enough fruits and vegetables.

Doctor’s orders: fruits, veggies, exercise By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

We are not eating enough fruits and veggies or getting adequate exercise. That’s according to a new community health assessment released Wednesday by the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department. Eighty-one percent of county residents do not eat the recommended five fruits and vegetables per day. When asked about physical activity during the past 30 days, half of the population hadn’t done anything to get their heart rate up, like running, aerobics, or heavy yard work, and 16 percent hadn’t

done leisure exercise like brisk walking or bicycling. Dan Partridge, health department director, said these likely contributed to the rise in diabetes, which now affects nearly 8 percent of the population. On the flip side, we are breathing better. Our smoking rates — teen, smoking during pregnancy, current smokers — have declined. The biggest decline was in the number of residents who allow smoking in their home. It

went from 23 percent of the population in 2005 to 8 percent in 2008, compared with 20 percent statewide. The health department paid the Kansas Health Institute $7,400 to help compile the report, which looks at d e m o g ra p h i c s , h e a l t h fa c to rs l i ke behavior and income, and health outcomes. “We hope this report will spur not only discussion but action among Douglas County residents, organizations, community coalitions and policymakers to make the changes necessary to have a healthier community,” Partridge said.

W A S H I N G T O N — The Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that a grieving father’s pain over mocking protests at his Marine son’s funeral must yield to First Amendment protections for free speech. All but one justice sided with a fundamentalist church that has stirred outrage with raucous demonstrations contending God is punishing the military for the nation’s tolerance of homosexuality. The 8-1 decision in favor of the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kan., was the latest in a line of court rulings that, as Chief Justice John Roberts said in his opinion for the court, protects “even hurtful speech on public Albert Snyder issues to ensure that we do not had sued church stifle public debate.” members for the The decision ended a lawsuit emotional pain by Albert Snyder, who sued church members for the emotion- they caused by al pain they caused by showing up showing up at his at his son Matthew’s funeral.

Proposed legislation provides financial incentive for early graduation By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Kansas students who complete high school a year early would be eligible for up to $3,000 in scholarships from the state to attend college under a bill considered Wednesday. Rep. Jim Howell, R-Derby, said the proposal “creates an incentive for students to strive hard for a goal.” Howell told the House Educa-

tion Budget Committee that some high school seniors are unchallenged and lose momentum in their studies. He said it would be up to students and their families whether to try to graduate early. House Bill 2234 would set up the Early High School Graduation Scholarship Program. The bill would provide scholarships of up to $1,500 per semester for tuition and fees at a post-secondary school for a maximum of two

of about $265,000, according to a state fiscal note. But Rep. Ward Cassidy, R-St. Francis, said in his 40 years as a teacher, principal and school counselor, he knew personally of only one success story of a student who graduated early and went straight to college. He said he knew of more than 20 instances where it didn’t work out. “Many students are not socially ready,” he said.

On March 1, 2011, Chuck went to join his family and friends that have preceded him. Chuck’s wishes were that his family and friends would come together for a celebration of life. It will be held on Sunday, March 6, 2011, from 3 to 8 p.m., at the Lake Panorama Resort and Conference Center, 5071 Clover Ridge Road, Panora, Iowa 50216. A second celebration will be held in Desert Hot Springs, California, in March at a date yet to be determined. Chuck was born on April 4, 1927, in Greenfield, Iowa. He attended grade school in Bakersfield, California, and moved to Vallejo, California, where he attended high school prior to entering the U.S. Navy. He flew an SB2C bomber off the carrier U.S.S. Hancock in WWII, and he worked at the Mare Island Naval Shipyard as an apprentice plumber and steamfitter after his service in the Navy. He then attended the University of California Berkley, and graduated with a Mechanical Engineering Degree. Chuck eventually returned to the Midwest where he lived in Detroit, Cleveland, and Council Bluffs before settling in Des Moines. He there met Betty Ann Pilmer, and they married in 1953. Chuck and Betty had two children, Bruce and Kathy, and raised them in Johnston. They also spent a good deal of time at their home at Lake Panorama. Chuck was an excellent father and a wonderful grandpa. Chuck had many jobs prior to finding his ultimate career with Peerless Supply, Inc. in 1956, and in 1963, purchased the company with partners. Chuck enjoyed the industrial supply business and made countless friends of coworkers, customers, suppliers and competitors. He was very involved in local and national trade associations, including SME (Society of Manufacturing Engineers), ISA (Industrial Supply Association), the Iowa-Nebraska Distributors

Association and many others. He also served on the Johnston Planning and Zoning Board, and was Iler President of the Johnston School Board. Chuck enjoyed sports, especially golf and fishing. Upon his retirement in 1994, Chuck and Betty wintered in Orange Beach, Alabama, where he was able to play golf often and occasionally fish. Betty passed away in 1998, and Chuck began going to Naples, Florida before finding his home in Desert Hot Springs, California. In the last many years, Chuck spent half of his time at Lake Panorama and the other half in Desert Hot Springs. He was blessed with wonderful groups of friends in all the places he spent time. He loved many and was loved by many. He was an extremely kind and selfless person, a truly remarkable man. Chuck is survived by his daughter, Kathy (Laine) Wright of Eudora, Kansas, and their children, Kalen and Lucas; his son, Bruce Iler of Johnston, and his children, Brendon, Addie, Andrea, and Corrina, and great-granddaughter, Maya, born to Addie on January 11, 2011. He will also be missed by his friend, Bev Saari, and so many of the people that he was fortunate enough to have been close to. God Bless you Father. We will miss you Dad, and look forward to being together again someday. Memorial contributions may be made to the Chuck Iler Gift Fund, Guthrie County State Bank, Panora, Iowa 50216, in his name. Chuck gave freely to those in need throughout his life, and his family wishes to carry on his memory through the gift fund. Online condolences may be made to: www.HamiltonsFuneralHo me.com.

probation instead, contending that house arrest would not be necessary given “the nature of the offense” and the defendants’ “history and characteristics.” Jeffries, as assistant director of ticket operations, and Simmons, as assistant athletics director for sales and marketing, were the first two former KU employees to plead guilty in a scheme that the university determined, through an independent investigation, resulted in about 19,000 regular-season tickets for basketball and football being stolen from 2005 to 2010. A federal investigation — which spurred the KU investigation — ultimately resulted in five others resigning and pleading guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Those others — Charlette Blubaugh, ticket manager; Tom Blubaugh, a paid consultant and Charlette’s husband; Rodney Jones, assistant athletics director for the Williams Fund; Ben Kirtland, associate athletics director for development; and Kassie Liebsch, a systems analyst who briefly served as ticket manager — still await sentencing. Earlier this week, Simmons’ attorney had asked the judge to delay his client’s sentencing, to give him time to make a case for a reduced sentence. Simmons had pleaded guilty, Mark Bennett Jr. said, with the expectation that prosecutors would file a motion acknowledging “substantial assistance” by his client, a motion that could help support a reduced sentence. “He’s cooperated from the very get go on this thing,” Bennett said in July, after Simmons entered his guilty plea. “He’s been interviewed twice (by the attorney working for KU). He’s been interviewed by federal agents. He’s provided every piece of information he has, or has been asked about.” But Bennett learned Monday that no such support would be coming from prosecutors. Richard Hathaway, assistant U.S. attorney, had told him that “since the case has been disposed of without the necessity of a trial the defendant had not provided the requisite substantial assistance,” B ennett said. Bennett was unavailable for comment Wednesday. Jim Cross, a spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office, declined to discuss whether the tickets case indeed had been “disposed of,” now that seven defendants had pleaded guilty. “Our remarks will be made in the courtroom,” Cross said. — Schools reporter Mark Fagan can be reached at 832-7188.

2 U.S. airmen killed in airport shooting Two U.S. airmen were killed and two others were wounded at Frankfurt airport when a man opened fire on them at close range with a handgun, the first such attack on American forces in Germany in a quarter century. President Barack Obama called the Wednesday shooting an “outrageous act.” The alleged assailant, identified as a 21-year-old Kosovo man, was taken immediately into custody and was being questioned by authorities, said Frankfurt police spokesman Manfred Fuellhardt. Family members in Kosovo described the suspect as a devout Muslim, who was born and raised in Germany and worked at the airport. The attacker got into an argument with airmen outside their military bus before opening fire, killing the bus driver and one other serviceman, and wounding two others, one of whom was in lifethreatening condition, Fuellhardt said. He said the attacker also briefly entered the bus. The victims, part of a group of about a dozen members of an Air Force military police and base security unit, had just arrived from England, the Air Force said. 2 | LIBYA

Rebels corner fleeing Gadhafi forces Rebel forces routed troops loyal to Moammar Gadhafi in a fierce battle over an oil port Wednesday, scrambling over the dunes of a Mediterranean beach through shelling and an airstrike to corner their attackers. While they thwarted the regime’s first counteroffensive in eastern Libya, opposition leaders still pleaded for outside airstrikes to help them oust the longtime leader. The attack on Brega, a strategic oil facility 460 miles east of Gadhafi’s stronghold in Tripoli, illustrated the deep difficulties the Libyan leader’s armed forces — an array of militiamen, mercenaries and military units — have had in rolling back the uprising that has swept over the entire eastern half of Libya since Feb. 15. In the capital of Tripoli, Gadhafi warned against U.S. or other Western intervention, vowing to turn Libya into “another Vietnam,” and saying any foreign troops coming into his country “will be entering hell and they will drown in blood.” At least 10 anti-Gadhafi fighters were killed and 18 wounded in the battle for Brega, Libya’s secondlargest petroleum facility, which the opposition has held since last week. 3 | WASHINGTON, D.C.

GOP wins first budget skirmish Republicans won an early round Wednesday in their fight to shrink the government, pushing $4 billion in spending cuts through Congress in a bill that puts off the possibility of a government shutdown for two weeks. Largely a spectator so far, President Barack Obama dispatched his vice president to initiate negotiations on a broader, longer-term spending bill and find “common ground” with GOP leaders determined to cut tens of billions of dollars more and undo much of his agenda. Obama He conceded in advance that any deal on a government budget covering the next seven months will feature cuts, not just the longterm freeze he proposed last month. The Senate cleared the temporary spending measure by an overwhelming 91-9 vote after the House passed it with a large bipartisan vote Tuesday. Obama signed it Wednesday afternoon.

Teachers seek salary increase By Mark Fagan mfagan@ljworld.com

Bottom line from the first day of negotiations between Lawrence school district administrators and teachers regarding next year’s teacher contract: Teachers want more money, and administrators aren’t offering any. “We want all the numbers to get bigger,” said David Reber, a biology teacher at Free State High School and lead negotiator

for the Lawrence Education Association, after Wednesday’s initial negotiations meeting at district headquarters, 110 McDonald Drive. He’s referring to the salary schedule for teachers, which includes 156 cells, or steps, that outline the amount of money a teacher earns based on education and years of service. A entry-level teacher with a bachelor’s

raises actually could see their wages increase. Reber declined to discuss exactly how much additional money, overall, teachers want to see pumped to the mix. But the union plans to push for something when it lands on the negotiations agenda April 6. “If we don’t add more money, nearly 50 percent of the teachers in the district won’t see any increase in salary,” he said.

Judge retires after thousands of cases By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

In a town full of teachers, Randy McGrath is one of the few that held class five days a week, all year round. No summer break for this hard-nosed instructor. Of course, he’s not your typical teacher. For the last 12-anda-half years, McGrath has been the city’s lone Municipal Court judge. His courtroom handled everything from speeding tickets to DUIs to arcane city code violations. And most days, McGrath said, it provided a few lessons, too. McGrath retired from the bench on Wednesday. “So many people who come through this court represent themselves pro se that there is a lot of teaching involved,” McGrath said. Not always are the lessons on the finer points of the law. “A lot of times you have to teach people this isn’t a Western Civ. course on campus,” McGrath said. “There is a certain code of conduct here. There is a certain dress code here. You can’t wear a hat here. You can’t have a shirt that hangs down to your knees here.” McGrath’s colleagues on Wednesday praised him as a fair judge who was willing to work with people when possible. “He was a very courteous and conscientious judge,” said Jerry Little, a longtime city prosecutor who appeared before McGrath on a daily basis. “I always thought he distributed justice very equitably.

City Manager David Corliss recently appointed Scott Miller, a City Hall staff attorney, as the city’s new judge. McGrath said the daily grind of being the lone judge in Municipal Court had started to wear on him. “A coach or an athlete knows when it is time to go, and that is

what I kind of felt,” McGrath said. “I was just feeling a little burnt out. There is a lot of repetition in Municipal Court.” For instance, McGrath recently calculated that he had conducted 2,500 hearings for DUI cases during his tenure.

Jobs unveils iPad 2 Apple is back with a refined second-generation tablet computer that squeezes more power into a thinner shell while keeping prices in check. It’s a three-pronged push that should handily hold off competitors for another year. Underscoring the tablet’s importance to Apple, CEO Steve Jobs briefly emerged from a medical leave Wednesday and made a surprising appearance to unveil the iPad 2 himself. With the original iPad, Apple Jobs proved there is great demand for a tablet that’s less than a laptop and more than a smart phone, yet performs many of the same tasks. Dozens of copycat touch-screen devices are in the works, but so far none has broken into the mainstream consciousness the way the iPad has.

LAWRENCE CITY COMMISSION CANDIDATE MIKE MACHELL says his experience in the business world will help him to bring jobs to the city. He is chairman of the city’s Library Board and ran for school board in 2007.

It was 2007, and Mike Machell was a novice Lawrence school board candidate. A call from his friend and former Lawrence mayor Shirley Martin-Smith did a good job highlighting the novice part. “She said, ‘Who’s on your steering committee?’” Machell recalls. “I said, ‘Uh, what steering committee?’ She said, ‘How much money have you raised?’ I said, ‘Uh, how much do I need?’”

Machell fell short of winning a seat on the board, finishing fifth in an eightperson field. “But I’m as proud of that as anything I’ve done in my career,” Machell said. Why? Because it was an opportunity seized, and that’s what Machell has vowed to do for a long time now.

Opportune moments Growing up in a suburb of Syracuse, N.Y., Machell watched his father go to work as a salesman and his mother as a school-bus driver. It wasn’t the type of family that produced an income that Please see MACHELL, page 7A

SOUND OFF

I read Sunday’s Journal-World article about fake I.D.’s and I was curious what the penalty is for a minor in possession citation?

According to Kansas statute 41-727, the penalty for the first minor in possession violation is a fine between $200 and $500, a suspended driver’s license for 30 days, and a court may order community service and alcohol education courses. A second violation carries an additional penalty of 90 days suspended driver’s license, and a third results in a one-year suspension.

ON THE RECORD LJWORLD.COM/BLOTTER

LAW ENFORCEMENT REPORT • A 21-year-old Kansas University student reported that someone stole his Dell laptop computer, a Garmin GPS and several other items, valued at $2,318, during a burglary from an apartment Tuesday morning in the 2300 block of Wakarusa Drive. The Journal-World does not print accounts of all police reports filed. The newspaper generally reports: • Burglaries, only with a loss of $1,000 or more, unless there are unusual circumstances. To protect victims, we generally don’t identify them by name. • Assaults and batteries, only if major injuries are reported. • Holdups and robberies.

Man convicted of reckless aggravated battery for hitting, injuring bicyclist By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

A Douglas County jury on Wednesday convicted a Baldwin City man of reckless aggravated battery for striking and injuring a bicyclist last July south of Lawrence. Jurors did not find Scott A. Young guilty of the most severe charge he faced, intentional aggravated battery. A prosecutor during closing arguments said Young, 48, intentionally struck cyclist Rob Wilshusen with his truck because he was angry about a group of cyclists on the road and wanted to make a point. “That makes it clear to the officers (during an interview) what his intention was when he was passing those

cyclists,” said James McCabria, an assistant Douglas County district attorney. Young’s defense attorney said his client regretted yelling at the cyclists as he passed them but wasn’t aware at the time that he struck anyone. Defense attorney Rick Frydman said Young veered back into his lane on East 1400 Road — an extension of Louisiana Street south of Broken Arrow Park — because he was approaching a hill and he couldn’t see if oncoming traffic was a threat. “What I would say is the evidence shows that Scott Young was trying to get back into the lane,” Frydman said. During the trial, which began Monday, a group of Lawrence cyclists testified

that Young came upon the group on July 15, 2010, yelled obscenities at them and then struck Wilshusen, who fell and suffered injuries to his shoulder, back and hip. But Young testified Tuesday that he wasn’t aware he had struck anyone and that he was trying to move back into the right lane after passing the group. Young remains free on bond, and District Judge Michael Malone is scheduled to sentence him April 8. Jurors convicted him of the lesser charge, but he would have likely faced probation either way unless he has a significant criminal history. — Reporter George Diepenbrock can be reached at 832-7144.

Increasing money for wages would mean making cuts somewhere, said Frank Harwood, the district’s chief operations officer and lead negotiator for the district. Administrators already anticipate a budget that would call for spending $3 million less next year because of declines in state revenue. Such decisions will be left to members of the Lawrence school board. “They don’t have any choice about the $3 million” in cuts, Harwood said, after the meeting. “To have more dollars available, they would have to cut more.” Board members already are scheduled to discuss closing at least one elementary school next year: Wakarusa Valley, the building identified by a task force appointed to create a vision for the district’s elementary schools while acknowledging ongoing financial restraints. Chris Cobb, a math teacher at South Junior High School and member of the union’s negotiating team, noted that the district maintained a “stated goal” for recruiting and retaining quality teachers. “If you don’t have an adequate starting salary, you’re not going to recruit quality teachers,” Cobb said. “And if you don’t have an adequate max salary, you will lose longtime quality teachers.” Negotiating teams are scheduled to meet again March 30, to discuss potential changes to teacher evaluations. Salary issues are set for April 6. — Schools reporter Mark Fagan can be reached at 832-7188.

the judge. The court conducted about 325 dockets — sessions of court where dozens and dozens of cases are heard — in 2010, according to the court’s annual report. Ask McGrath how many cases he actually rules upon in a year, and he’ll give you a very honest answer. “I don’t know,” McGrath said. “I just know that during the course of a day, I see a lot of people.” He also feels like he gets a pretty good sense of the community. “Municipal Court judges are sort of on the frontlines of a community because you just see so much,” McGrath said. But McGrath said Municipal Court is seldom like an old episode of “Night Court.” Most days the process runs smoothly and disruptions are rare. Just four times in nearly 13 years did McGrath ever have to declare a courtroom member in contempt of court and have the individual arrested. “They don’t have to listen to what I say, but if they interrupt court after they’ve been advised not to, I don’t have much choice in the matter,” McGrath said. Not that declaring someone in contempt ever gave him much heartburn. Not much did, McGrath said. He said rarely did he ever have a second thought about a decision. And he said making decisions — which ranged from setting a fine for a speeding ticket to ruling on the constitutionality of the city’s smoking ban — always came naturally to him. “I enjoyed going into a courtroom and being in charge of it,” McGrath said. “It just fits my personality to make those decisions and to kind of be in charge.” — City reporter Chad Lawhorn can be reached at 832-6362.

County replaces kaput emergency phone system By Brianne Pfannenstiel bpfannenstiel@ljworld.com

Douglas County Commission approved Wednesday the purchase of a new phone system for the Douglas County Emergency Communications Center following a system breakdown during the weekend. Plans were already in the works to purchase a new system and were set to be approved at Wednesday’s meeting. However, following the breakdown, during which the feature to pinpoint a caller’s location stopped functioning, County Administrator Craig Weinaug approved the emergency use of nearly $225,000 to purchase the new system three days ahead of schedule. Commissioners approved that decision at its Wednesday meeting. “The risk in terms of the system breaking down again was great enough that the sheriff justified to me that it

A longtime Kansas University communication studies professor and former dean of graduate studies will leave KU for a new job at St. Louis University. Diana Carlin will become SLU’s associate vice president for graduate education. “It’s a very, very good university,” she said. “I was really kind of interested in one more challenge before I retire for good.” Carlin, an expert on presidential debates, said she has been at KU for the last 24 years. It’s a place that gave her an undergraduate degree and her first graduate degree, and helped her out tremendously as a faculty member, she said. She served for seven years as dean of the Graduate School and International Programs. “I hope I’ve given back to KU half of what KU’s given to

was a true emergency,” Weinaug said. “All the information about what we were going to purchase was already figured out, and the documentation was already there.” Weinaug said that although the problem was fixed temporarily and calls were rerouted through the KU Public Safety system, the risk of another breakdown was high enough to speed up the purchase. The new phone system will be next-generation 911 compliant, which will be required of all 911 centers nationwide by January 2013. “The current phone system that we have installed is obsolete, very outdated and costly to maintain,” Amanda Reusch, interim director for Douglas County Emergency Communications, said in a written statement. “The current equipment we have installed is no longer being made.” The new equipment was ordered on Monday and is set to be delivered Friday.

me,” Carlin said. She said she’ll be back in town from time to time and hopes to initiate ties with the strong KU alumni group in St. Louis. In her new job, she will oversee a transition to a model for delivering graduate education that mirrors the system she oversaw at KU. “We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Carlin to the Saint Louis University community,” said Manoj Patankar, SLU vice president, in a news release. “She will be a great addition given her leadership history in graduate education.” Carlin’s husband, Kansas Court of Appeals Judge G. Joseph Pierron, will retain his judgeship, she said. “We’ll trade weekends,” Carlin said. — Higher education reporter Andy Hyland can be reached at 832-6388.

Educators pan Report shows fruit, veggie consumption lacking KPERS proposal DOUGLAS COUNTY

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Two bills aimed at funding problems in the public pension system were criticized Wednesday by school officials. Under House Bill 2310, if a retiree in the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System got another job with a KPERS employer, the person could not receive LEGISLATURE retirement benefits while he or she was still working. Educators said this would essentially wipe out a stable of experienced teachers and administrators who, after they retire, come back to work as substitute, special education and math teachers. “It very well could put special education in crisis,” said Robert Coleman, manager of the ANW Special Education Cooperative of Humboldt.

Machell CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

would allow him to attend prestigious Georgetown University and pursue his goal of becoming an attorney. But his grades did. With scholarships, he graduated from Georgetown with a foreign service degree, the type of training that prepares people to work for the State Department and other international diplomatic organizations. But law school would have to wait. Instead, he got a job with a private company that monitored regulatory filings for Wall Street attorneys and bond buyers. He was in the filing room of the SEC when Ma Bell filed the paperwork to break up its telecommunications juggernaut. “My job was to get on the phone as fast as I could and let our Wall Street clients know,” Machell said. “They’re not real patient people.” But Machell is. He decided earning a regular paycheck could wait. He had spotted another opportunity instead. Three years after graduating from Georgetown, he sold everything he owned to finance a return to school, this time to get an MBA degree. He ended up getting accepted into one of the more highly ranked public business schools in the country at the University of Michigan. But there was still that law degree. By the 1990s, Machell (it sounds like Rachel) was a human resources executive for a large international company in Atlanta. But then he spotted another opportunity. Georgia State University — perhaps not the most prestigious but certainly affordable — offered evening law school classes. His employer offered a tuition assistance program. “I figured it up one day,” Machell said. “I own my law degree for $3,500. I did it because it is something I always wanted to do, and I saw the opportunity to do it.”

Library leader These days, Lawrence residents probably are more likely to know Machell as the chairman of the city’s Library Board than as a past school board candidate. Machell was on the campaign trail last November urging voters to approve a bond issue for an $18 million expansion of the library at Seventh and Vermont streets. Now, Machell spends some time trying to convince voters that he’s not just the library candidate. The bond issue won approval — with about 55 percent of the vote — but the project’s timing, cost and how it fits into a more digital age have been questioned. Make no mistake, Machell is still proud of the project. He says voters made a good “long-term investment in the community.” But he also thinks he has a lot more to offer to city voters than his experience on the

During the hearings, members of the House Pensions and Benefits Committee also expressed misgivings about HB 2130. State Rep. Charles Roth, RSalina, referred to it as a “meat cleaver approach.” Chairman Mitch Holmes, R-St. John, said the bill “will probably be heavily amended.” The other bill, House Bill 2328, would require local school districts to pay more into KPERS. Education officials said the additional expense, combined with recent budget cuts to schools, would be difficult to manage. KPERS has a $7.7 billion gap between the value of its assets and future obligations. Gov. Sam Brownback has said fixing the long-term funding problems is one of his top priorities. KPERS officials have said current benefits to retirees are safe.

Texan takes strong stand on immigration

EDITORIALS

Voter issues Legislators should take a measured approach to new laws proposed in the name of protecting the state against voter fraud.

ven for those who favor requiring Kansas voters to show a photo ID at the polls, the legislation that passed the Kansas House last week includes some provisions that could raise concerns. Several members of the Kansas Senate have expressed reservations about the bill, crafted by Secretary of State Kris Kobach, that would require ID at the polls and proof of citizenship at registration as well as giving Kobach’s office new power to enforce election laws. Senators are right to be cautious in moving the legislation forward. Senate Majority Leader Jay Emler, a Lindsborg Republican, indicated that the possible inconvenience of the proof-of-citizenship requirement will be a key issue. The bill calls for Kansas to issue free birth certificates to people who meet certain income guidelines, but that doesn’t help people who were born in other states. It says an out-of-state driver’s license can be used but only if the state issuing the license requires proof of citizenship for a license to be issued. How many states require that? Kansas requires “proof of identity” but not proof of citizenship to obtain a driver’s license. Although the voter bill lists 13 documents that can be presented as proof of citizenship, the most expedient for most voters would be a birth certificate. Some people seeking to register could easily put their hands on a certified copy of their birth certificate, but many could not. Obtaining a copy would involve a fee for many people and would take some time — time during which a voter, if he or she had not planned ahead, might miss the registration deadline, meaning the person wouldn’t be eligible to vote. Senators also should look carefully at provisions in the law that would give the secretary of state’s office the power to file and prosecute election fraud cases in state courts. At a time when many Americans and elected officials are trying to eliminate bureaucracy and duplication of services, why does Kansas need to create an enforcement arm in the secretary of state’s office when enforcement can be handled by the Kansas attorney general? Kobach is an attorney, who likely would relish taking these cases to court, but it’s not a good use of taxpayer money. Even though there is no evidence Kansas has a widespread voter fraud problem, there’s nothing wrong with trying to make sure only legal, qualified voters are casting ballots. The trick, however, is to draw a tough line on potential illegal voters without setting standards that will make it more difficult for legal, qualified voters to get registered and vote in Kansas. Everyone wants Kansas elections to be clean and fair. If fraud exists in our election system, it should be prosecuted and punished. At the same time, the state should do what it can to encourage qualified voters to participate in elections. Legislators should make sure that whatever new laws they approve to protect the integrity of Kansas elections don’t place undue restrictions on qualified voters who simply want to register and cast their ballots.

From the Lawrence Daily JournalWorld for March 3, 1911: “Under the provisions of the prison labor bill passed yesterday, prisoners in YEARS county jails can be shackled and worked AGO on the streets. They can even be sent to IN 1911 the penitentiary and farmed out to the warden there under contract. The bill is drastic and will probably prove more efficacious in discouraging the bootlegging traffic in Lawrence, than the appointment of an assistant attorney general here.” — Compiled by Sarah St. John

WASHINGTON — During Lamar Smith’s first 18 years in Congress, the view from his office was of a parking lot. Now, in his 13th term, he looks out upon the Capitol dome. Seniority confers perquisites. Today he chairs the House Judiciary Committee that has custody of the immigration issue. When he was first elected, his Texas district — then 42,000 square miles, five times larger than Massachusetts — included 400 miles of the border with Mexico. His district has meandered north and now is 150 miles from the border. It includes portions of San Antonio and Austin. But Smith still looks south, toward the flow of illegal immigration, which he considers a uniquely comprehensive problem, affecting schools, health care, employment and the culture. Smith wants you to know that he is Texas to the marrow of his bones, even if he did go to Yale. There he was one year behind George W. Bush. Smith is proud to have been, he thinks, the only freshman who subscribed to Field and Stream magazine. When his ancestors got to Texas in the 1850s, they were immigrants entering an established Hispanic culture. He notes that San Antonio is a “tri-cultural city” — 7 percent African-American, 30 percent Anglo and 60 percent Hispanic. America, he says, has the world’s “most generous legal

immigration policies. We admit as many legal immigrants as the rest of the world combined.” Regarding illegal immigration, however, he proposes a program of “attrition through enforcement.” Workplace enforcement, that is. He says such enforcement has declined 70 percent in the last two years, and fines levied on employers of illegal immigrants are treated by businesses as a bearable cost of doing business as usual. Nationally, 250,000 businesses are using E-Verify, the program to quickly validate the legality of workers, and each week another 1,300 businesses sign up for the system. We are, Smith notes with quiet asperity, not finishing the fence, and the 1,200 National Guard

troops President Obama sent to the border will leave one day. Although half a million persons are caught trying to enter the country illegally each year, Border Patrol agents tell Smith that two to four get in for every one apprehended. Hence his estimate that up to 2 million are entering illegally each year. He thinks some physical barrier is necessary — he says the fence near San Diego reduced illegal immigration there 95 percent — but no barrier will be sufficient. We must “reduce the attraction of the job magnet” so fewer illegal immigrants will come here and more will go home. Workplace enforcement is a “disincentive to enter and an incentive to leave.” Some people say such policies will put Hispanic votes beyond the reach of Republicans. Smith serenely disagrees. He believes, on the basis of quotes he is pleased to share, that many on the left see amnesty for illegal immigrants as a way to build a permanent Democratic majority. He, however, is confident that Republicans can compete for Hispanic votes while — indeed, by — insisting that everyone “play by the rules.” Notice, he says, that in 2010 the three Hispanics elected in statewide races — Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez and Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval — were all Republicans. In Texas, two new Hispan-

ics were elected to Congress: Quico Canseco and Bill Flores, both Republicans. Like the other three freshman Hispanics in the House (Idaho’s Raul Labrador, Washington’s Jaime Herrera Beutler and Florida’s David Rivera, all Republicans), Canseco and Flores stress border security. Smith does not flinch from questioning the practice of “ birthright citizenship” — awarding citizenship to anyone born in America, including children whose parents are here illegally. He cites a Houston Chronicle report that in 2005, 70 percent of births in Houston and Dallas public hospitals were to illegal immigrant mothers. Today they account for nearly 10 percent of births nationally. He believes the practice of birthright citizenship rests on a misconstruing of the 14th Amendment. The Supreme Court, he says, has never addressed the “precise question” of the meaning of this: “All persons born ... in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.” He favors ending birthright citizenship as currently administered and thinks it is possible to “write a statute to get five votes” on the court. If he does write one, this soft-spoken man will be carrying a big stick of legislative dynamite. — George Will is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

Speaking for God

God’s presence is felt, not proven “That which is without quality cannot be measured, the invisible cannot be examined, the incorporeal cannot be weighed, the limitless cannot be compared, the incomprehensible does not admit of more or less.” — Gregory of Nyssa (fourth century Christian philosopher) “I am that I am.” — Exodus 3:14 Occasionally, I manage to tick off an atheist. It is not something I set out to do. Usually it results from some passing comment reflecting my belief that God is. As in a recent column on Lara Logan, the CBS reporter sexually assaulted in Egypt. I wrote that she is “deserving of our compassion, our empathy and our prayers.” This drove a reader named Patricia to her keyboard. There ensued a brief colloquy whose highlights on her part included: “Please stop the superstitious nonsense.” And, “Keep the public naive and stupid.” And, “An atheist is absent of belief and willing to change their position when evidence is presented. When you mention prayer, you are acting as an evangelist promoting an irrational act.” And here, allow me to establish that I support the right of people to believe — or not believe — as they wish. Indeed, if you’ll forgive the cliché, some of my best friends and co-workers are nonbelievers. This would include Terry Jackson, a Miami Herald editor who died of cancer two years ago. I remember telling him I would pray for him. “I’m a pretty hard core atheist,” T.J. warned, but he added that he would take any help he could get. I always thought there was a lot of grace in that response. It’s a grace that is usually missing when atheist readers question me on

talists make when they try to force schools to teach from the book of Genesis: She imposes upon one discipline the standards of another rather than assessing it on its own terms — like a rap fan declaring Mozart invalid because Mozart had no beats. To put that another way: God is not proven. God is felt. I know the subjectivity of that will give Patricia — and others — fits. Deal with it. Last year, writer Marilynne Robinson published a book, “Absence of Mind,” whose purpose was less to prove the existence of God than the possibility of God. In a lyrical, profoundly thoughtful dissent, she took issue with the notion that because what is felt cannot be quantified, it is somehow invalid. Feeling is, after all, the most common of human experiences. She questioned “this def ining of humankind by the exclusion of the things that in fact distinguish us as a species.” And yes, I know: T.J. died despite my prayers. Why? demands the skeptic. I don’t know. When I see God, I’ll ask. The thing with me is, I’m OK with “I don’t know,” OK with the humility those words require, OK with what I can only feel and never prove by the tenets of science. One of my favorite gospel songs says, “Over my head, I hear music in the air. There must be a God somewhere.” I believe that. If that belief offends someone, I’m sorry. But not really.

issues of faith. Indeed, I find myself struck by the similarity between certain atheists and fundamentalists. Meaning the ones who can always tell you exactly what’s on God’s mind and even what He had for breakfast this morning. God did this, they say, because He didn’t like those people, did that because that country ticked Him off. Funnily enough, God’s likes and dislikes always seem to exactly match theirs. There is a certain hubris in them that is mirrored in the declaration that God does not exist because our telescopes cannot see Him nor our equations prove Him.

To the editor: To understand God, infinite by definition, would require infinite understanding. Anyone who proposes to speak for God is likely a fool or a liar or both. People like that one in Topeka, invoking God while spewing a message of hate and intolerance, reduce themselves to absurdity, are mostly regarded as fools and are routinely castigated by the general public. I must say that the letter in Tuesday’s P ublic Forum (“Endorsing sin”) reads much like it could have been written by someone from that “church” in Topeka. They claim to know God and His “wrath” so intimately that they can zealously reveal to the rest of us that people are suffering because they don’t share their condemnation of ____ (fill in the blank: homosexuality, nontraditional marriage, anything contrary to their own belief system). I personally believe that exclusion, hate, intolerance, wrath and “rejection” have absolutely nothing to do with a perfect God. Paul Veerkamp, Lawrence

Civil rights issue To the editor: This is a response to Carl Burkhead’s recent letter regarding the Defense of Marriage Act (P ublic Forum, March 1). Dear Mr. Burkhead: This is a free country. You are entitled to your opinion, welcome to believe anything that you wish and free to worship (or not) as you see fit. However, our government is secular. We are not a theocracy beholden to any religious ideology. Biblical scripture, the Christian concept of sin and the Christian definition of marriage are irrelevant to the issue at hand regarding the Defense of Marriage Act. This is a civil rights issue.

Second arrest made in attempted robbery Lawrence police have arrested a second person suspected of being involved in an attempted robbery of a Lawrence man early Saturday morning in the 1100 block of Tennessee Street. According to Douglas County Jail records, an 18-year-old Lawrence man was taken into custody Monday afternoon on aggravated robbery, conspiracy and obstruction charges. Clinton Vince Dubray was arrested in the 2300 block of Louisiana Street. Dubray is the second person to be arrested in connection with the incident. Prosecutors Monday charged Franklin J. Spottedtail, 20, of Lawrence with attempted aggravated robbery, conspiracy and obstruction after he was arrested early Saturday in the 1100 block of Ohio Street. A 43-year-old Lawrence man reported at 3 a.m. Saturday someone tried to rob him in the 1100 block of Tennessee Street. According to court and police records, Spottedtail is accused of chasing and grabbing the arms of the man during the robbery attempt, and Dubray is accused of pointing a handgun at him. The robbery attempt failed. A judge Wednesday set Dubray’s bond at $40,000 cash or surety.

A senior moment

THE KANSAS UNIVERSITY SENIORS AND THEIR FAMILIES — FROM LEFT, TYREL REED, Brady Morningstar and Mario Little — are showered with applause and flowers prior to tipoff of the Jayhawks’ game against Texas A&M. KU won on Senior Night, 64-51, Wednesday at Allen Fieldhouse.

KU clinches share of 7th Big 12 title By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University’s basketball players looked at, but did not hoist, their new, 2010-11 Big 12 championship trophy, which sat solemnly in the middle of the Jayhawks’ locker room after Wednesday’s historic 64-51 victory over Texas A&M in Allen Fieldhouse. The Jayhawks, who wrapped up at least a share of their seventh-straight conference title heading into Saturday’s regularseason finale at Missouri, put on hold any wild celebrations after

a hard-earned, emotional Senior Night victory over the Aggies. “It is amazing,” KU coach Bill Self said of the longest leaguewinning stretch in school history. KU won six straight from 1922 to ’27. It’s also the longest streak from a team in a major conference since UCLA’s stretch of 13 from 1967 to ’79. Gonzaga of the West Coast Conference has won 11 in a row. “But it kinda ... it wasn’t a big deal to celebrate, by any stretch,” Self added. “We would rather do it ourselves than hope for help from anybody else.” Please see KANSAS, page 4B

It doesn’t always have to run up huge offensive numbers or dominate the interior to win games. It can grind its way to victory, too. That’s exactly what Kansas University did in defeating Texas A&M, 64-51, to clinch at least a share of the Big 12 title

Free State boys come up just short By Ben Ward Journal-World Sports Writer

OLATHE — Free State High senior Evan Manning couldn’t have imagined he was taking the final shot of his high school career. With the Firebirds trailing by two with 15 seconds to play, Brett Frantz drove toward the paint and dished the ball off to Manning at the top of the arc, who didn’t hesitate to rise up and fire the potential game-winner. The crowd fell silent as the ball bounced gently off the front rim, danced around the edges, caromed off the glass and hopped a

OLATHE — When leading scorer KJ Pritchard hobbled off the court for good in the third quarter Wednesday, nobody on the Lawrence High bench panicked. Instead, the eighth-seeded Lions took it to top-seeded Olathe South, securing a stunning road upset in overtime, 4744. “KJ got hurt, and we all stepped up and played really well,” junior Anthony Buffalomeat said. “We came in knowing we had a chance, and

And we won.” After two free throws by junior Logan Henrichs with 1.4 seconds remaining in overtime, Olathe South’s Noah Knight caught the inbounds pass and launched a 50-footer that would have tied it. At first, Henrichs thought the shot was way off. He looked back and watched as the ball ricocheted off the rim.

BIG 12/TOP 25 BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

New Mexico knocks off No. 3 BYU The Associated Press

New Mexico 82, No. 3 BYU 64 PROVO, UTAH — Phillip McDonald scored 26 points to lead New Mexico to the upset of BYU two days after the Cougars dismissed leading rebounder Brandon Davies for a violation of the school’s honor code. The loss left the Cougars (27-3, 13-2 Mountain West) reeling just as they had vaulted into the top five nationally and sought a coveted No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Jimmer Fredette had 33 points but it came on 10-of-26 shooting, including 1-of-9 from three-point range in a game that saw BYU try to find the right combination on the court without Davies. School officials Wednesday confirmed that Davies’ offense was not criminal but a violation of the school’s honor code, which requires students to live a chaste and virtuous life, be honest, abstain from alcoholic beverages, tobacco, tea, coffee and substance abuse, and attend church regularly.

Royals rally, then hold on to beat Dodgers GLENDALE , A RIZ . (AP) — Kansas City manager Ned Yost isn’t rushing to judgment on the Royals despite liking what he sees so far. Brett Carroll’s sacrif ice fly scored the go-ahead run, and Kila Ka’aihue added a three-run homer in the eighth inning, rallying Kansas City to an 11-5 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday. The Royals overcame a threerun deficit and then blew a two-

run lead before improving to 3-1 this spring. “ Th e t ra p yo u fa l l i n to i n spring training is when somebody has a good day, you get high. When somebody has a bad day, you get low,” Yost said. “You can’t do that. We evaluate the whole spring.” Ka’aihue homered for the first time this spring, sending a 3-2 pitch from Luis Vasquez to leftcenter. Joaquin Arias added a two-

run shot in the ninth as Kansas City rapped out 13 hits. “Just another good day,” Yost said. “We’re swinging the bats well. We’re playing great defensive baseball. I’m really encouraged about our base-running.” Pinch-hitter Jarrod Dyson and Mitch Maier had RBI singles, giving the Royals a 5-3 lead in the sixth. The Dodgers tied the game at 5 in the bottom of the inning when Justin Sellers singled in two runs.

Brandon Sisk pitched one shutout inning for his first victory of the spring. Lorenzo Cain, Melky Cabrera, Arias and Maier each went 2-for-2 for the Royals. Vasquez allowed four runs and four hits in three innings. New Dodgers manager Don Mattingly didn’t get a look at lefthander Ted Lilly, scratched from his scheduled spring debut because of flulike symptoms.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY SENIORS, FROM LEFT, BRADY MORNINGSTAR, Tyrel Reed and Mario Little addressed the crowd in traditional Senior Night postgame speeches. The three won their fieldhouse finale, 6451, over Texas A&M on Wednesday at Allen Fieldhouse.

GARY BEDORE’S KANSAS BASKETBALL NOTEBOOK ‘I want to thank … ’ Here are some highlights of the postgame speeches of KU’s three seniors, Mario Little, Brady Morningstar and Tyrel Reed. Little: Little broke down, bent over to the waist, and sobbed when attempting to thank his 85-year-old grandmother, Hazel Lucille, for helping raise him. “I want to thank my grandmother for everything she’s done for me. Everything I do is for her — (I give) my whole heart and soul for my grandmother,” Little said. Of his three-year KU career, the Chicago native, said: “I’ve been through a lot of ups and downs, had to battle through

injuries and all types of stuff this year. I want to thank everybody for supporting me and not giving up on me.” Little’s speech, by the way, went 10 minutes. Morningstar: The Free State High graduate, who attended prep school a year and red-shirted a year at KU, had the quip of the night thanking coach Bill Self. “Coach Self ... people look at you like a father figure. You are more like a brother to me because we are about the same age.” Morningstar broke down and cried when thanking his sisters. Morningstar’s speech went eight minutes.

Reed: The Burlington native mentioned growing up just an hour or so from Lawrence as a KU fan. He cried when discussing Self. “I thank coach Self for giving me the opportunity to fulfill my dream, play at the University of Kansas like I always wanted to,” Reed said. “There’s moments in my career he was on me. I didn’t know how to respond: ‘He hates me. He will send me to Burlington. I’ll never play ball anymore.’ There’s no better place to play in America and no better coach to play for. “It’s so special for me to be here at KU. I grew up an hour

away. I was Paul Pierce in my backyard. I was so thankful coach Self offered me a scholarship here. At first I was scared, a small, white kid from Kansas. I didn’t know if I was going to fit in. With my teammates’ and coaches’ help, I was able to succeed thanks to them.” Reed’s speech lasted 10 minutes.

Pre-game ceremony recap Little, Morningstar and Reed were introduced with their families in that order to a shower of flowers tossed by KU’s cheerleaders. O’Keefe Little, uncle of Mario, bounced up and down

as he exited the northwest tunnel onto the court with Mario as well as Mario’s mom, Margie, and Hazel Lucille. There were no tears during the pregame. Mario Little jokingly put one of stems of the red roses between his teeth. Reed also picked up a rose and pretended to bite it.

Kansas CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

A victory over Mizzou and KU (28-2 overall, 13-2 Big 12) has the title to itself; a loss, coupled with a Texas win over Baylor, would mean the Jayhawks would have to share with the Longhorns. Either way, KU is a champ. “Coach said, ‘Congratulations,’ when we walked off the court,” junior Marcus Morris said after tying brother Markieff for team-high scoring honors with 13 points. “But it’s not over. We are going to practice tomorrow. We’re not going to have a day off. We’ve got to go to Missouri and win. That’s when we’d probably really have a conversation in the locker room congratulating players.” Morris modeled his new Big 12 championship T-shirt in the locker room with his title teammates. “I was about to walk in here with my shirt on. They made me take it off,” Morris said of the interview room. “They don’t want us to get too bigheaded about sharing it. That instills in my mind we have to keep working.”

They’ll keep working while acknowledging the fact KU already has achieved something special. “One more than Jordan,” KU senior Brady Morningstar said with a smile, referring to Michael Jordan’s six titles with the Chicago Bulls. “It’s a pretty good accomplishment, but we have business to take care of Saturday. We don’t like sharing.” Perhaps Self put the night best into perspective when he grabbed the microphone after the game and told the fans: “It’s a special night when you can win seven in a row and send these seniors out in style like that.” KU grad Mark Turgeon’s Aggies (22-7, 9-6) were in this Senior Night game up until a back-breaking 13-2 KU run turned a slim 43-41 lead into a 56-43 advantage with 5:25 left. Fittingly, seniors Reed and Morningstar each hit a three in the run. “Isn’t it amazing that regardless of who you recruit, you have to have a guy from Lawrence and a guy from Burlington in order to look good?” Self said. “Brady and Tyrel certainly played well tonight.” Burlington bomber Reed had 12 points, and Free State

High grad Morningstar nine, while fellow senior Mario Little did not score but had three boards in 15 minutes. The country today will be talking about KU’s mind-boggling streak of consecutive Big 12 titles. “We focus on winning the Big 12 every year,” Reed said. “It’s our main goal. We say it after every practice. The coaches instill that anything else is sub-par. It comes down to a lot of coaches and a lot of guys.” Noted Morningstar: “A lot has to do with our homecourt advantage, our fans. This is the best place to play in he world. I’ve heard Cameron Indoor (at Duke) is pretty cool, but there’s not a better venue than this one. Also we don’t look past our conference season.” ●

The KU fans chanted “One More Year” in the direction of Marcus and Markieff Morris as they exited the game at the final time out. “Definitely, I thought about it,” Marcus Morris said of having his own Senior Night at KU, “but I’m just trying to finish the year out and see how the year goes. Of course I want to do a Senior Night because I see how special it is for these guys, but I’m not making any decision right now (on NBA).”

Winless against Kansas University since taking over at Texas A&M four years ago, and 0-2 during that time at Allen Fieldhouse, Aggies coach Mark Turgeon had nothing but warm and fuzzy things to say about his alma mater despite falling to 0-6 against the Jayhawks after a 64-51 loss Wednesday. “Ah, this place makes me feel great,” Turgeon said. “Walking down the halls, walking through the city, this place makes me feel great. It’s home. I have great memories about this place, and I love coming here. I was just hoping that our players would embrace it. They didn’t the last time we were here.” They did Wednesday, as evidenced by the way they watched the intro video and soaked up the atmosphere. And that was almost good enough to put a serious scare into the second-ranked team in the country. “I thought we were pretty good for about 30 minutes, especially defensively,” Turgeon said. “And then our turnovers did us in.” Of course, the Jayhawks (28-2 overall, 13-2 in Big 12) had something to do with it. Especially considering the team — and, really, the entire building — was rocking for the final home game in the careers of seniors Mario Little, Brady Morningstar and Tyrel Reed.

Having been in Allen Fieldhouse for a Senior Night before, Turgeon was aware of what to expect Wednesday, and he tried to prepare his team for it. “When you’re playing KU on Senior Night in this building, with the way they score, it worries you,” Turgeon said. “You hope the game plan works, and you hope you’re able to execute. I told our guys to embrace the crowd. Just embrace it. I said, ‘If it’s gonna intimidate you, we’re gonna get our tails kicked. Embrace it and love being out there in that environment.’” It didn’t take long for A&M’s players to understand what their coach was talking about. Just prior to tipoff, the Allen Fieldhouse crowd was as charged up as it had been all season. “I thought we were gonna get a K-State or Missouri crowd, and we did,” Turgeon said. “The start of the game was electric.” During his playing career at Kansas, Turgeon was a twotime captain, earned Big Eight all-freshman honors in 1984 and was named to the Big Eight’s all-academic team in 1986. Though he coaches for one of KU’s opponents, Turgeon clearly is still loved around Lawrence. And the fans made sure he knew that during his latest trip home. “I signed more autographs today than I’ve signed all year,” Turgeon said.

(the Aggies) had to play to give them the best chance. And I actually thought we guarded them very well. I thought we did a good job muddying up because we’ve been a pretty team. I thought today we were much more equipped to win a game with no rhythm. That was good for us.” Reed has played in enough NCAA Tournament games to know that advancing when dancing requires doing it with some ugly ones now and then. “That’s going to help us out down the road,” Reed said. “Those are tournamenttype games, where shots aren’t falling, you’ve got to grind them out, can’t really get in a rhythm. It was probably a good game for us.” It definitely was an important game for KU. Instead of making 60 percent of their shots, which is their remarkable season average, the twins made 50 percent. Nobody panicked, and the seniors from Kansas hit crucial shots. Morningstar and Reed combined for eight steals and made seven of nine shots and five of seven three-pointers. The Jayhawks finished the game the way prize fighter Oscar De La Hoya used to finish bouts. The instant De La Hoya smelled blood, his fists flew faster and stung harder. His legs became fresher, his focus sharper. His nickname was The Golden Boy. Others accused him of being a pretty boy, but there was nothing remotely beautiful about the way he flattened noses, swelled eyes shut and generally carved faces into bloody messes.

in his three games as the team’s starting point guard, blocked a shot, denied his man the ball, setting up steals for Reed and Morningstar, threw down a perfect lob from Marcus Morris and played like a point guard who was in no hurry. A much tougher test awaits him Saturday in Columbia, against Missouri, one of the nation’s toughest teams when playing at home. “I thought that we buckled down at the end,” Marcus Morris said. “We started guarding toward the end, when we really needed it. We got stops and rebounds.” Everything’s easier at home, and the players know that. That’s why they sounded so eager to prove they can bring that finishing act on the road Saturday in search of an outright Big 12 title.

starting lineup at the pointguard position for Saturday’s game at Missouri. For the third time in the last four games, KU sophomore Elijah Johnson will start for the Jayhawks. In Wednesday’s 64-51 victory over Texas A&M, Johnson played 18 minutes, while junior guard Tyshawn Taylor returned from suspension to play 17 minutes. “I thought Elijah played great down the stretch,” Self said. “I thought Tyshawn played really well in the first half. Really well. He’s our leading scorer and did some really good things.” Taylor started the second half for KU, but Johnson played the most important minutes. Johnson checked in at the 11:45 mark of the second half and didn’t sub out until the

— KU coach Bill Self, on point guards Elijah Johnson and Tyshawn Taylor lead was secure with 59 seconds remaining. “Don’t read into (Taylor not starting) too much. He’s going to play,” Self said. “We need him to play well, especially against a team like Missouri that’s got so much quickness and all that stuff, but I think Elijah, right now, really deserves the right to continue starting as long as he continues doing what he’s doing.” Self was especially pleased with Johnson on the defensive end, calling him “terrific.” KU senior Tyrel Reed noticed Johnson’s impact. “He played great … changed the tempo, changed the whole outlook of the game,” Reed said. “I think he’s capable of

doing that for us. Probably people weren’t looking at him as a defensive stopper, looking at him as just an athlete — an offensive (player). He’s really stepped up to the challenge and has done a good job.” Johnson’s aggressive defense helped the Jayhawks to 11 steals — their most since the Baylor game on Jan. 17. “We haven’t done a good job of (ball pressure), I don’t think, to this point in the year,” Reed said. “But we’ve really got to get out and guard and defend. He’s been giving us that extra edge. It’s important for us to have those types of things — ball pressure — it just takes so much pressure off our bigs. We can’t have (forwards) Markieff and Marcus (Morris) getting in foul trouble.” Johnson finished with two points on 1-for-2 shooting with three assists, three turnovers, three rebounds, two steals and a block. Taylor scored nine points on 3-for-6 shooting to go with three rebounds, three assists, two turnovers and steal.

Training can help control anger in parenting

Dear Maria: You are taking the right steps. You recognize that you have a problem and are asking for help. It is often true that parents revert to the way they were raised, and if physical and verbal abuse were commonplace when you were growing up, you could resort to those same tactics with your chil-

Annie’s Mailbox

It should be acknowledged that the father’s behavior is creepy, disrespectful and maybe obsessive-compulsive. It sounds like the son has fought this battle for a long time, and his father continues to be unable to respect his son’s basic requests, which has created a rift. I love my parents, but would not tolerate them constantly touching me, especialanniesmailbox@creators.com ly if they were touching my dren. You can change, how- leg with theirs. Hugs, shoulever, with some training and der slaps, handshakes, etc., mindfulness. Your local YMCA or park district may offer parenting classes to help you learn how to respond more appropriately and lovingly to your children. Also check with your doctor, clergy and local social service agencies. Your children are too precious to let your anger get the better of you.

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

Universal Crossword Edited by Timothy E. Parker March 3, 2011

Dear Annie: I believe you misread the concerns of “Son who is Wondering,” who said his father constantly touches him during conversations. While the son didn’t tell us everything, he did say that his father ignores obvious attempts to maintain personal space and even “flew into a rage” when the son moved out of range.

Cupcake shows are so 2010. Tonight brings “Ice Brigade” (9 p.m., Food) chronicling the high-stakes world of professional ice sculptors, who use chainsaws and industrial equipment to fashion one-of-akind artworks for weddings and other special events. In many ways, “Brigade” is a distant descendent of “Monster Garage” and “American Choppers,” the forefathers of the dude-as-artist genre that has proven so durable on cable. “Star” Randy Finch is a big guy who looks more like a roadie for Motorhead than a fine artist. A former chef, he decided that he couldn’t handle the heat and got as far out of the kitchen as he could. With his partners in Grand Rapids, Mich., he’s created a laboratory dedicated to all things frozen. The process of fashioning ice sculptures, drink-dispensing fountains, tables, bars and even a pool table and a DJ booth out of frozen water is pretty fun to watch. In fact, I wish “Brigade” spent more time explaining just how this stuff gets made. Instead, it manufactures a lot of the fake tension required for basic cable fare. Will the art and artifacts work? Will they melt before getting to the function? Will Finch’s crew squabble? You’ve seen this all before. It’s “Cake Boss” on Ice! And following a logic that only applies to showbiz, Finch’s male co-workers do their chain-sawing and ice lathing wearing gloves and hooded sweatshirts, while his two new female staffers wear fairly skimpy outfits. Apparently, you’ve got to be hot, even when it’s 27 degrees. ● TLC plunges into the women-inprison racket with “Babies Behind Bars” (9 p.m., TLC) dedicated to the stories of hardened criminals giving birth while incarcerated. Why does this sound like the setup to a sitcom? Because that’s how the Fox comedy “Raising Hope” began. ● On six consecutive episodes of “The Office” (NBC), Ed invites the gang to his local theater production (7 p.m.), Michael fears he has a social disease (7:30 p.m.), fear of a rival salesman (Timothy Olyphant) (8 p.m.), Darryl’s initiative irks Michael (8:30 p.m.), Michael grows wary of China’s geopolitical clout (9 p.m.), Michael awaits Holly’s decision (9:30 p.m.). As fans of “The Office” know, Michael Scott (Steve Carell) is leaving at the end of this season. Former “SNL” cast member Will Ferrell will appear later this year in several episodes. He can be seen tonight in the 2004 news spoof “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy” (7 p.m., TBS).

Tonight’s other highlights ● “American Idol” (7 p.m., Fox) reveals the names of the finalists. ● Trashy evidence cast suspicion on a hoarder on “CSI” (8 p.m., CBS). ● A cultist offers information about Red John on “The Mentalist” (9 p.m., CBS). ● Homeland Security prosecutes a soldier on “Fairly Legal” (9 p.m., USA). ● Experts contend that America’s feral swine population growth is a ticking “Pig Bomb” (9 p.m., Animal Planet). And you thought this was about Charlie Sheen. ● Bad weather on “Out of the Wild: Venezuela” (9 p.m., Discovery).

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Thursday, March 3: This year, you open up to many ideas. Your immediate circle of friends, associates in the workplace and community acquaintances seem to be an endless source of support and suggestions. You also change this circle by adding different people and new influences. If you are single, you will meet people. Perhaps you'll meet "the one" through your immediate circle. If you are attached, plan that special romantic getaway you've so often discussed. Do it! Aquarius understands much more than you know.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★★ You perk up by the end of the day. You might wonder exactly what is happening between you and a friend. Tonight: Know that you are top dog.

Dear Annie: I am a 28-yearold mother of two beautiful girls, ages 8 and 2. I have a problem controlling my anger, and I take out all of my frustrations on my girls. When something is done wrong or not fast enough, or when my 8-year-old talks back, I lose it. When talking and screaming don’t work, I’ve spanked her and slapped hands. My older daughter is afraid of me. Is there any help out there for me? I don’t want to blame others for my actions, but could this have anything to do with the way I was brought up? I was beaten with a belt, spanked and slapped. I thought I would grow up to be nothing like my parents, but I was wrong. I feel lost. I want to be able to have a great relationship with my girls, not like the nonexistent one I have with my parents. Please help me fix this. — Maria in Texas

Toney Douglas also scored 24 points in place of an injured Chauncey Billups, outplaying slumping Hornets All-Star Chris Paul in the point guard matchup. Shawne Williams finished with 16 points off the bench, 11 in the third quarter when the Knicks broke open the game. Hawks 83, Bulls 80 A T L A N T A — Al Horford matched his career high with 31 points, including a jam with 29 seconds remaining to give Atlanta its first lead, and the Hawks beat Chicago.
