Lawmaker ‘jokes’ that immigrants should be shot ‘I was just speaking like a southeast Kansas person,’ he says By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

has been controlled: with gunmen shooting from helicopters. Rep. Virgil Peck, R-Tyro, said he was just joking, but that his comment did reflect frustration with the problem of illegal immigration.
Peck made his comment during a discussion by the House Appropriations Committee on state spending for controlling feral swine. After one of the committee members talked about a pro-
gram that uses hunters in helicopters to shoot wild swine, Peck suggested that may be a way to control illegal immigration. Appropriations Chairman Marc Rhoades, R-Newton, said Peck’s comment was inappropriate.
Rhoades said he thought Peck was joking, but added, “Hopefully he won’t do it again.” Asked about his comment, Peck was unapologetic. “I was just speaking like a southeast Kansas person,” he said. Please see LAWMAKER, page 2A
Grinstead resigns from Humane Society
Consensus building on closure, consolidations
By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com
Consolidations Mark Bradford, the board’s vice president, said that work needed to start soon on plans to consolidate schools, and not just because the district faces an estimated $3 million decline in revenue for the next school year. Six schools — Cordley, Hillcrest, Kennedy, New York, Pinckney and Sunset Hill — have been identified by the task force as candidates for consolidation, to become either three or four schools within three to five years. A bond issue should be sought to f inance construction of new or expanded schools to accommodate consolidation, and to upgrade other elementary schools throughout the district, the task force said. All affected school communities should be given a voice in helping shape the plan that goes to the board for approval, for submission to voters.
Midge Grinstead has resigned as executive director of the Lawrence Humane Society, according to a statement from the society’s board of directors. The board has appointed Mike Wildgen, former Lawrence city manager, as the society’s interim executive director. He will work with animal welfare consultants to ensure the health and well-being of the pets in the shelter’s care during his interim leadership. “We greatly appreciate Mike’s willingness to serve during this interim period,” said Megan Grinstead Hiebert, president of the Lawrence Humane Society Board in the statement. “We thank Midge for her contributions to the Lawrence Humane Soci- Wildgen ety and animal welfare over the past 14 years. We wish her well in her future pursuits.” Reached on the phone Monday evening, Hiebert refused to comment beyond the statement, except to say that the board would seek to continue to build on Grinstead’s “positive effect on our community.” She opted not to say whether Grinstead was asked to resign, whether any reasons were given by Grinstead or the board for her resignation, whether the board would seek to change any existing policies of the shelter or give any details about a timeline for finding a permanent replacement. “All I’d like to say right now is that she has resigned and we continue to give updates as we go,” Hiebert said. The board placed Grinstead on administrative leave for 28 days in the fall for unspecified personnel reasons. She returned in November. And in February, the shelter announced it would pay $10,000 in back pay to work-

School board, community show support By Mark Fagan mfagan@ljworld.com
Consensus is spreading. The Lawrence Elementary School Facility Vision Task Force’s consensus plan — close one school next year, then consolidate six schools into three or four within the next three to five years — picked up support Monday night from some key constituencies: ● Several members of the Lawrence school board, the group that formed the task force last year and will be responsible for implementing or adjusting its recommendations in the coming weeks and months. ● An increasing number of influential members of the former Save Our Neighborhood Schools advocacy group, whose opposition to closure initiatives last year led to formation of the task force. ● And even at least one parent of children at Wakarusa Valley School, which would close next

people spoke up during Monday night’s board meeting, including at least eight criticizing the possibility of Pinckney School being closed — the recommendations forged after eight months of task force work are showing signs of gaining traction at district headquarters. A formal public hearing is set for March 28 to consider whether to close Wakarusa Valley.
Wolf Creek nuclear power plant officials said Monday that they are watching developments in Japan closely to see whether lessons can be learned from the plant disasters occurring there. “We are closely monitoring it as an industry,” said Jenny Hageman, spokeswoman for the Wolf Creek plant, a 1,200-megawatt facility 52 miles south of Lawrence. Japanese officials are dealing
with crises at several nuclear plants in the wake of the country’s earthquake and tsunami that have left at least 10,000 dead. Hageman said U.S. nuclear power officials are offering to help Japan. She said the chance of an earthquake affecting Wolf Creek is much smaller than in Japan. Tornadoes would be the more likely disaster to hit the plant, and Hageman said Wolf Creek’s containment structure can withstand winds of 300 mph. Wolf Creek is running at 100 percent capacity but will be shut down
on Saturday for about seven weeks for scheduled maintenance, which will include the replacement of four giant rotors and turbines. This operation constitutes the largest modification of the plant since it started operating in 1985, she said. Michael Murray, a nuclear physicist at Kansas University, said Japanese officials are trying their hardest to address the problems, but they face great obstacles. “The crucial thing at the moment is that the fuel rods be kept under water,” Murray said. “The problem
they are having is that the general level of devastation from the tsunami” has hindered their efforts. Murray said there is no evidence of a rupture in the containment cases at these units. “What needs to happen now is make sure there is not enough buildup of steam or hydrogen to crack the containment vessel,” he said. — Statehouse reporter Scott Rothschild can be reached at 785-423-0668.

James ‘Jimmy’ Neil Bond OSAGE CITY — James “Jimmy” Neil Bond, 57, passed away Thursday, March 10, 2011, at Shawnee Mission Medical Center in Kansas City. Jimmy was born December 6, 1953, in Topeka, Kansas, the son of Clyde and Josephine Plake Bond. He spent his early life in Osage City before moving to Lawrence and graduating from Lawrence High School. He spent most of his life in the Kansas City area before moving back to Osage City in 2009. Jimmy was a commercial artist and musician. After graduating from Kansas State University with a Bachelor of Arts Degree Jim found success working for several companies in the Kansas City area and independently, winning several awards and his art work displayed in art museums in Omaha, Nebraska, and Springfield, Missouri. In recent years he would find appreciation for his sketchings. Learning to sing at a very early age Jim would sing for clubs and organizations in his hometown of Osage City. Then when in Junior High School he and friends would form their first band, The Vikings. The Vikings and later The Emperials would play for local dances in and around the area. Later after some changes they would then call themselves The Rain and would expand out to other areas in the Midwest. Beginning in 1971 he would perform with Plain Jane, being accomplished playing many different instruments, his strength would however remain with his vocal abili-
ty. This band went through personnel and style changes, but were always one the hottest bands around. Based in Topeka, Manhattan, and Kansas City over about a decade, they were led by Jimmy and appeared on the soundtrack of the movie “Zapped.” After the band disbanded, Jimmy became a founding member of KC’s very successful Liverpool, a Beatles tribute band, until his health forced him to drop out a few years ago. Jimmy was inducted into the Kansas Music Hall of Fame in February, 2010 with Plain Jane. Survivors include a son, Billy Reiling and wife Allison, Olathe; a brother, Tom Bond and wife Becky, Troy; three grandchildren, Will Reiling, Adrienne Reiling and Aubrey Reiling; a niece, Jane McCarthey and husband Justin, St. Joseph, Missouri; and two nephews, Chris Bond and wife Michelle, Kearney, Nebraska, and Pete Bond and wife Deanna, Cincinnati, Ohio. He was preceded in death by his parents and a brother, Richard Bond. Memorial services will be at 1:00 PM, Saturday, March 19, 2010, at VanArsdale Funeral Chapel in Osage City, Kansas. The family will receive friends an hour before service time at the funeral chapel. Inurnment will be at Washington Creek Cemetery northeast of Overbrook. Memorial contributions can be made to James Neil Bond Memorial Fund and sent in care of the funeral home at 107 N 6, Osage City, KS 66523.

Lawmaker CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
He said most of his constituents are upset with illegal immigration and the state and federal government response. He said he didn’t expect any further controversy over his comment. “I think it’s over,” he said. Last month, another state legislator, Rep. Connie O’Brien, R-Tonganoxie, apologized after referring to a college student as an illegal immigrant because of her “olive complexion.” Legislators this session are considering several controversial bills that supporters say will decrease illegal immigration. One of those, House Bill 2372, would establish provisions similar to an Arizona law enacted last year. But the House Judiciary Committee on Monday
tabled the bill on a 12-8 vote. Rep. Pat Colloton, R-Leawood, made the motion to table, saying the bill was too broad. It would have allowed law enforcement to check the status of people they reasonably suspected of being illegal immigrants, instead of requiring “probable cause.” “This is an invitation to racial profiling,” she said. The bill would also require state agencies and contractors to make a good faith effort to avoid hiring illegal immigrants using the federal E-Verify system. But Colloton said the way the bill was written it could have shut down charitable organizations that had unknowingly hired an illegal immigrant. Colloton said that the bill could be reconsidered but that the vote on Monday to table the measure sends a message that it needs to be changed.

Gift secures grant for Spencer Museum of Art By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com
A capstone gift from the Dolph Simons Jr. family has helped Kansas University’s Spencer Museum of Art fulfill a $1 million challenge grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The gift, along with those from nearly 80 other KU alumni and benefactors, allowed the museum to complete the challenge ahead of the grant’s September deadline. Included among the gifts to the museum were $200,000 from the Anschutz Foundation of Denver; $100,000 from John T. Stewart III and his wife, Linda Bliss Stewart, of Lawrence and Wellington; and $100,000 from Lavon Brosseau, of Concordia. Saralyn Reece Hardy, museum director, said it was an honor to be selected for one of the Mellon Foundation’s matching grant opportunities. “This puts KU in the company of Yale, Duke, the Rhode Island School of Design, Har-

Bradford, who is in line to become board president in July, figures that the task force’s vision makes sense as a way to pursue a long-term vision. “I want to use that as a road map to move forward,” said Bradford, after the meeting. “I personally don’t think that we need to close schools to address the budget side of things.” Marlene Merrill, a board member seeking re-election April 5, embraced the consolidation recommendation as a “basis” for starting a dialogue, especially with stakeholders who could be affected. “Then you’re going to end up with a better decision,” she said.

ers who did not receive compensation for their overtime. Wildgen said he wouldn’t focus on the reasons behind Grinstead’s departure. “That’s not something that concerns me at this point,” he said. “It’s going forward.” He compared the situation to similar interim roles he had taken in the past, including a job as interim city administrator in Eudora and a stint as interim director of the Watkins Community Museum of History. Wildgen said he had not — Statehouse reporter Scott Rothschild can met with the entire board yet, be reached at 785-423-0668. and agreed to take on the job
vard and the University of Chicago,” Hardy said. The money will be used to increase involvement in interdisciplinary exhibits and educational programs throughout the university. “I think that this Mellon Initiative establishes a collaborative vision,” Hardy said. “It’s a collaborative vision for the art museum and a collaborative vision for KU.” Simons, editor of the Lawrence Journal-World and chairman of The World Company, said his family has a long appreciation of everything Helen and Kenneth Spencer did for the university. His parents, Dolph Simons Sr. and Marie Simons, worked closely with Helen Spencer to have the Spencer Museum of Art built at KU. “The current Simons family members are pleased to continue this long interest by providing funds to help the Spencer meet the match for the Mellon Foundation,” Simons said. “As museum director, Saralyn Reece Hardy is doing excellent work, given her vision and
of the task force and is not seeking re-election, said that he would be willing to hold off pushing for added school closures next year if and only if he could be assured that the district was moving toward a sustainable plan. And that would mean consolidating schools. The district could get by for the next year or two by dipping into contingency funds to prevent closing multiple schools, he said, so that a viable bond issue could be planned, pursued and passed. “You have a path,” he told fellow board members. “It is a workable one. You can put the bond issue together and move forward.”
Community stake Chuck Epp, who participated in Save Our Neighborhood Schools efforts a year ago, strongly urged board members to “honor” the task force’s “very specific” recommendations: close no
after being approached by the board’s attorney and Hiebert. “It’s a high-profile public service that they provide,” he said. “We want to make sure that continues.” He said he would make sure that the budget was attended to, that services kept going and that the search for a permanent and professional director proceeded as smoothly as possible. “My job is to eliminate my job,” Wildgen said. He said he and the board
enthusiasm in directing the museum. We’re pleased to be able to play a small role.” In addition to the $1 million challenge grant, the foundation provided $200,000 to support the program while the funds were being raised. A portion of the funds has already been used to recruit Celka Straughn, director of academic programs, who has begun to develop the initiative. An example of the kinds of programming that the initiative will create was last fall’s Media Memes: Images, Technology and Making the News exhibit. Michael Williams, associate professor of journalism, curated the exhibit with assistance from Luke Jordan, lecturer in the School of the Arts, and Straughn. That gallery examined questions about photography and meaning-making, particularly in 21st century journalism. — Higher education reporter Andy Hyland can be reached at 832-6388.

more than one school for next year, and “develop a community process to plan consolidation of elementary schools” in east and central Lawrence. If the board doesn’t “play fair,” he said, a bond issue would be doomed to defeat as the district would lose much of the trust and community support built up by the task force and its diverse, community-minded members. “Many of us want to be for something, not just against closing schools,” Epp said. “If you continue to build a community process in favor of new elementary school resources — and, yes, consolidation — you will be joined by a large cross-section of Lawrence. I just don’t think that will be possible if you start this process off on the wrong foot by closing several schools now.”

U.S. holds talks with Libyan opposition Under pressure from allies and growing calls for military intervention in Libya, the Obama administration on Monday held its first high-level talks with the Libyan opposition and introduced a liaison to deal full time with their ranks. But it remained undecided about exactly how much support to lend a group it still knows little about while turmoil and uncertainty increase across the Arab world. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton held a late-night, 45-minute meeting with a senior Libyan opposition figure after discussing the widening crisis with French President Nicolas Sarkozy. Sarkozy, along with British Prime Minister David Cameron, meanwhile, stepped up calls for world powers to isolate Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi with a no-fly zone, amid diplomatic differences over how much backing to give rebels. Clinton’s closed-door meeting with opposition figure member Mahmoud Jibril in a luxury Paris hotel was shrouded in secrecy until it happened, with neither the time nor the identity of her interlocutors announced beforehand.

Traditional hot button topics like the South Lawrence Trafficway and funding for the Chamber of Commerce produced a split Monday evening among the f ive candidates for the Lawrence City Commission. Not an equal split, mind you. On a host of issues, four candidates — Hugh Carter, Mike Dever, Mike Machell and Bob Schumm — largely agreed, while candidate Sven Alstrom played contrarian of the field. Candidates were participating in a City Hall forum sponsored by the nonpartisan Voter Education Coalition. “Dividing the wetlands will ruin the wetlands,” Alstrom said on a question about the future of the South Lawrence Trafficway. “It is wrong to build it there. It should be south of the Wakarusa River.” Alstrom was the only candidate in the field to take that position.

Somali pirates get life in prison Five Somali men convicted of attacking a Navy ship were sentenced to life in prison on Monday, the harshest sentences yet for accused pirates as the U.S. tries to halt piracy off Africa’s coast. The federal prosecution in Virginia relied upon rarely used 19th century maritime laws and was the first piracy case to go to trial since the Civil War, when a New York jury deadlocked on charges against 13 Southern privateers. Last month, a Somali pirate who kidnapped and brutalized the captain of a U.S.flagged merchant ship off the coast of Africa in 2009 was sentenced to more than 33 years in prison. Before the Somalis were convicted late last year, the last U.S. conviction for piracy was in 1819 in Virginia and involved a Spanish vessel. U.S. piracy law was based on that case. 3 | NEW YORK
Sources: Driver in bus crash unfit for job The driver of a bus in a horrific weekend crash that killed 15 people in New York City should not have been able to get behind the wheel because he had two drivers’ licenses and several traffic violations, two state officials familiar with the accident probe told The Associated Press on Monday. Ophadell Williams was ticketed in 1995 for speeding and twice for driving without a license, using the alias of Erik Williams, the officials said. That license was suspended when the 40-year-old driver didn’t address the charges. The revelations about Williams — a convicted felon with a 20-year-old manslaughter conviction — prompted Gov. Andrew Cuomo to launch a state investigation into how Williams was able to hold a valid commercial driver’s license at the time of the crash early Saturday. Calls to Williams’ Brooklyn home were unanswered Monday. A spokesman for the bus company that employed him, World Wide Tours, declined to comment on the instructions of federal investigators.

Site: KU also scores well in classroom By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com
The Jayhawks have proved they can win on the court, but their classroom scores are pretty good, too. Each year, the blog Inside Higher Ed creates an Academic Performance Tournament that’s filled out based on teams’ graduation rates. After winning that tournament last year, Kansas University lost this year in the Final Four to Butler, beating Boston University, Illinois, Vanderbilt and Texas A&M along the way.
Each game is judged using teams’ Academic Progress Rate. In case of ties, the teams’ Graduation Success Rates are used. A team’s APR is a score the NCAA uses to track academic eligibility and retention among players. It accounts for players who transfer, players who play professional basketball and players who leave for medical reasons. KU’s men’s basketball team earned a perfect APR 1,000 score for the second year in a row. This year’s figure was based on data

Unions rush deals ahead of law School boards and local governments across Wisconsin are rushing to reach agreements with unions before a new law takes effect and erases their ability to collectively bargain over nearly all issues other than minimal salary increases. The law doesn’t go into effect until the day after Secretary of State Doug La Follette publishes it and it doesn’t supersede contracts already in place, fueling unions’ desire to reach new deals quickly. La Follette said Monday that he will delay publication until the latest day possible, March 25, to give local governments time to try to reach agreements. Republican Gov. Scott Walker had asked La Follette to publish the law Monday, but the Democratic secretary of state said he didn’t see any emergency that warranted doing so. La Follette opposed the bill and said he sat in his office watching parts of a weekend protest that brought as many as 100,000 people out in opposition to the law.
collected from 2005-09. “ We t a ke o u r a c a d e m i c responsibilities seriously,” said Jim Marchiony, associate athletic director. “Fortunately, our student-athletes do as well.” The GSR is a stricter metric that measures graduation rates. KU earned a GSR score of 80, using sixyear graduation rate data calculated from 2003-09. That’s up from last year’s score of 73. Paul Buskirk, KU’s associate athletic director who oversees KU’s academic support pro-
grams, credited the student-athletes, the basketball coaching staff, faculty and academic support staff for achieving good results. Buskirk said he took some ribbing last year because academically KU won the tournament but lost to Northern Iowa in the second round. He said it’d be OK with him if the team decided to win the athletic competition this year, too. — Higher education reporter Andy Hyland can be reached at 832-6388.

Petraeus: War needs nonmilitary funding Gen. David Petraeus, in his first appearance in Washington since taking over as the top war commander in Afghanistan, is laying out a mostly upbeat assessment of military progress that should allow the United States to begin withdrawing forces this summer, despite predictions that the wounded Taliban insurgency will mount an especially bloody fight this spring. The Taliban’s momentum “has been arrested in much of the country and reversed in a number of important areas,” Petraeus said, in prepared testimony obtained by The Associated Press. He said that success, while fragile, will allow officials to recommend that the U.S. and NATO begin shifting control of several provinces to the Afghan security forces this spring. He is warning, however, that the substantial military gains there could be jeopardized unless Congress provides adequate funding to the State Department and the U.S. Agency for International Development to provide economic development, governance, and other civilian assistance.

The Douglas County Coroner’s office Monday identified a 21-year-old Lawrence man as the body found a day earlier in a wooded area in central Lawrence. Coroner’s investigators confirmed that Jakson McTaggart’s body was found at 1:20 p.m. Sunday in the wooded area and creek bed just west of the 700 block of Michigan Street.

Jurors in the Durrell Jones murder trial deliberated all day Monday before leaving and electing to return at 9 a.m. today to continue trying to decide the case. Jones, 26, of Kansas City, Kan., faces a first-degree murder charge and is accused of shooting and killing Anthony “Clacc” Vital, 28, a Lawrence hip-hop artist, on Oct. 14, 2006. Jurors Monday morning asked Chief District Judge Robert Fairchild if they could have a copy of the PowerPoint presentation prosecutor Amy McGowan used as an aid during her closing argument Friday. The jury deliberated for about 90 minutes Friday after closing arguments, left for the weekend and had returned at 9 a.m. Monday. Fairchild said he could not provide the PowerPoint because it was not admitted as evidence in the case. Fairchild also declined to provide a transcript or let jurors rehear a reading of the closing arguments because he said the arguments were not evidence themselves but based on what was presented and admitted at the trial. Prosecutors during the trial last week accused Jones of shooting Vital three times
on a rural driveway west of Lawrence to collect on a drug debt. The state’s main witness was co-defendant Major C. Edwards Jr., 31, of Lawrence, who pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter last year in the case. Edwards testified that he led Jones to Vital to collect Jones’ money for a bottle of PCP, and Edwards said as they were driving north on Iowa Street and west on Sixth Street Jones pulled a gun on them. He alleged Jones directed him to keep driving west of Lawrence and then pull over about two miles west of town where Jones shot Vital and left him there. Prosecutors said other evidence in the case corroborates Edwards’ story and that DNA evidence connected to Edwards and Jones was found on items near Vital’s body. But defense attorney John Kerns has argued Edwards, who will receive four years off his prison sentence, is trying to pin the crime on Jones.

degrees of enthusiasm. “It would not be my first choice, but I wouldn’t try to do anything to change it,” Schumm said. “To me, it is an issue that has been decided.” Machell, on the other hand, said he “appreciates” the project is finally coming to fruition, while Dever said it was needed to provide better connectivity and Carter said it could be a major economic development tool. The same split emerged on a question about whether the city should re-evaluate providing $200,000 a year in economic development funding to the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce. Alstrom was the lone commissioner to say he would remove some of the chamber’s funding and disburse it in other ways at City Hall. The other four candidates offered varying levels of support for the chamber. Schumm said he would like to “see how things go” before

childhood education in Madison, Wis., now are helping shape his political approach here in Lawrence, home to Kansas University and the district where Diaz Moore seeks election to the Lawrence school board.
Translating architecture to schools issues The KU associate professor and associate dean of graduate studies in the School of Architecture, Design and Planning is looking to add to the Lawrence school district’s strong foundation — using materials, services and expertise found on Mount Oread and throughout the business community. “Architects deal with complex problems where there’s not a single right solution,” Diaz Moore said. “What you need to be able to do is, very clearly, focus on the core of the problem and the shared aspirations you have for a solution. “I see that design thinking as directly parallel to the challenges facing the school board right now. The issues are complex. There’s certainly not one clear answer. But we need to be clear about what our ambitions are and where we need to go.” Visions to pursue Among the goals and initiatives Diaz Moore would like to pursue: ● Establishing a long-term vision. Simply listing goals for the coming year isn’t enough, he said: “It’s, where do we want to be in five years, and move toward that end.” The approach should reach past buildings and capital investments and extend into curriculum and other aspects of district business. ● Forming a Budget Advisory Committee, one that could seek out the potential

considering any major changes. Machell said that he thought the chamber was the “right group” to advocate for the city and that the community was starting to get “strong traction” on economic development issues. Dever, the lone incumbent in the field, said that if the city took over its own economic development marketing operations, it would be more costly and that the chamber does a good job of representing the city on a “professional level.” Carter said he would not favor a reduction in funding. Instead, he said he would urge city staff members to work more closely with the chamber on job recruitment projects. In other issues: ● The field was more split on the idea of requiring city inspections for rental properties more than 20 years old. Alstrom said he supported the idea. Dever said he now was more open to the idea than in previous years. Machell, however, said he did not think the program would be cost-effective. Schumm and Carter both expressed concern about rentals and the
impacts they can have on neighborhoods. But both stopped short of saying they would support a new inspection program. ● Candidates each gave an answer to the one area of city government that they think needs to be changed. Alstrom said the city process needs to be more open to neighborhood input. Carter said city leaders need to have a primary focus of growing jobs and incomes, and suggested more outreach to existing business leaders. Dever said he wants to change how people sometimes negatively view the city’s planning and development services department. Machell agreed with Dever and said the City Commission needs to do a good job of setting expectations for the community. Schumm said he wanted the city to focus more on creating home-grown jobs. The five candidates are vying for three seats on the commission. The election is April 5.
for money-saving options other than the usual closing of schools or slashing of programs. If everything’s going to be on the table, he figures, the community ought to be able to consider everything. “We have a lot of smart business people here in Lawrence,” Diaz Moore said. “This is a $137 million budget. When we look to save $1 million or $2 million, what we’re talking about is less than 2 percent of the budget. My gut tells me … that wouldn’t impact the core academic mission. We need to get that input.” ● Asking for help in addressing other difficult issues. That means appealing to the business community, the KU community, the teaching community and anyone else in the community with the expertise and enthusiasm to contribute, he said: “The board can’t do it on their own. … One of the things that sets Lawrence apart as a community in Kansas is our educated citizenry. We have to leverage that as much as we can.” ● Planning for full-day kindergarten in all district elementary schools, not just the eight of 15 that currently have it. While that may sound impossible at a time when administrators forecast the district having $3 million less to spend next year, Diaz Moore wants to explore other possibilities.
ty that will rise to the challenge.” Diaz Moore and his wife, Laura, an attorney, have two children at Cordley School: Zoe, in third grade, and Oliver, in kindergarten. Diaz Moore has served on the school’s site council for the past two years, and has coached softball for 7- and 8year-old girls. Diaz Moore participated in the Save Our Neighborhood Schools campaign last year, which fought proposals that would have closed one or more elementary schools. He supported work of the Lawrence Elementary School Facility Vision Task Force, whose research and resulting criteria have given future board members the ability to make “informed” decisions down the road, he said. He grew up in Madison, home to the University of Wisconsin, and went on to receive a bachelor’s degree in architecture at the University of Illinois, a master’s degree in architecture at the University of Minnesota and a doctoral degree in architecture from the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee. Between school years, he worked at architecture firms in New York and Chicago before joining the faculty at Washington State University in Spokane, Wash. The public schools system in Spokane didn’t meet the Diaz Moores’ standards, and when the opportunity to move to Lawrence arrived, they didn’t hesitate. Now, six years later, Diaz Moore wants to help improve the Lawrence school district as a board member — drawing upon assistance from KU, the university and community he now calls home.
Public-private partnership KU could have students seeking internship opportunities, he said, noting that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce cites early-education programs as the best investments a community can make. Perhaps the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce could become a partner, he said. “We have to start to be very creative with public-private partnerships,” Diaz Moore said. “We are a community that puts education first. In these times, when education is so challenged, we need to show that this is a communi-

TOPEKA — Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer is making 50 percent more than his statutory salary. But his boss, Gov. Sam Brownback, has taken a 10 percent pay cut. Brownback’s office said the governor cut his own pay because he knew he would be asking state agencies and their employees to make cuts to balance the budget. The governor’s salary is set in statute as $110,707 per year. Brownback is making $99,636, according to the governor’s office. But Colyer is getting additional pay because he has been assigned by Brownback the task of leading a review of the state Medicaid plan. Under state law, the lieutenant governor makes $36,000 per year. Colyer is making $54,000 per year. Several legislators had questions about Colyer’s salary during a meeting on Monday of the House Appropriations Committee. Republicans defended Colyer’s pay. “He’s taking on additional responsibilities,” said Rep. Pete DeGraaf, RMulvane. Brownback has put Colyer in charge of a review of Medicaid, a jointly funded state and federal program that in Kansas provides health care services for low-income chil-
BRIEFLY Police say boy killed by driverless vehicle Ottawa police said Monday that a 4-year-old boy was killed Saturday afternoon when he was struck by a vehicle without a driver that had rolled down the driveway. Lt. Adam Weingartner said the incident happened moments after someone had returned the vehicle home to the 1000 block of South Cottonwood Street, but he did not identify the last driver of the vehicle. He said police have interviewed the boy’s mother, a 41year-old Ottawa woman, and a boyfriend, also 41 from Ottawa, who were present when the incident happened. Officers were called just before 3 p.m. Saturday to the residence for a possible injury accident. The boy later died from his injuries at Ransom Memorial Hospital in Ottawa. Police did not release the name of the boy Monday. “Police collected evidence that will be sent to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation laboratory for analysis,” Weingartner said in a statement. “Alcohol may have been a factor.” Members of the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office’s accident investigation team assisted police. He said officers would continue the investigation and forward information to the Franklin County Attorney’s Office for a decision on filing any possible criminal charges. No one has been arrested.

dren, pregnant women, elderly and those with disabilities. Brownback has said he wants to reduce costs and improve services in the program. In previous administrations, lieutenant governors have received compensation in various forms, sometimes serving as a Cabinet secretary and getting that salary. In 2009, former Gov. Mark Parkinson appointed his chief of staff, Troy Findley, to be lieutenant governor. Findley maintained his salary of $100,000 as chief of staff and took no extra funds as lieutenant governor, according to Brownback’s office. In 2010, Lt. Gov. Findley received $95,000 per year as a “special assistant to the governor” while Parkinson hired another person as his chief of staff at $97,596, the office said. — Statehouse reporter Scott Rothschild can be reached at 785-423-0668.

JAPAN
Radiation threat prompts orders to stay indoors By Eric Talmadge and Shino Yuasa Associated Press Writers
SOMA , J APAN — Radiation leaked from a crippled nuclear plant in tsunami-ravaged northeastern Japan after a third reactor was rocked by an explosion today and a fourth caught fire in a dramatic escalation of the 4-day-old catastrophe. The government warned anyone nearby to stay indoors to avoid exposure. Tokyo also reported slightly elevated radiation levels but officials said the increase was too small to threaten anyone in the capital. In a nationally televised statement, Prime Minister Naoto Kan said radiation has spread from four reactors of the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant in Fukushima province, one of the hardesthit in Friday’s 9.0-magnitude earthquake and the ensuing tsunami that has killed more than 10,000 people. “The level seems very high, and there is still a very high risk of more radiation coming out,” Kan said. “We are making utmost efforts to prevent further explosions and radiation leaks.” This is the worst nuclear crisis Japan has faced since the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II. It is also the
first time that such a grave nuclear threat has been raised in the world since a nuclear power plant in Chernobyl, Ukraine exploded in 1986. Kan warned there are dangers of more leaks and told people living within 19 miles of the Fukushima Dai-ichi complex to stay indoors to avoid radiation sickness. Some 70,000 people had already been evacuated from a 12-mile radius and 140,000 remain in the zone for which the new warning was issued. Three reactors at the power plant were in critical condition after Friday’s quake, losing their ability to cool down and releasing some radiation. A fourth reactor that was unoperational caught fire today and more radiation was released, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said. The fire was put out. Even though it was unoperational, the fourth reactor was believed to be the source of the elevated radiation release because of the hydrogen release that triggered the fire. “It is likely that the level of radiation increased sharply due to a fire at Unit 4,” Edano said. “Now we are talking about levels that can damage human health. These are readings taken near the area where we believe the releases are happening. Far away,
the levels should be lower,” he said. “Please do not go outside. Please stay indoors. Please close windows and make your homes airtight. Don’t turn on ventilators. Please hang your laundry indoors,” he said. “These are figures that potentially affect health. There is no mistake about that,” he said. He said a reactor whose containment building caught fire Monday has not contributed greatly to the increased radiation. The radiation level around one of the reactors stood at 400,000 microsiverts per hour, four times higher than the safe level. Officials said 50 workers were still there trying to put water into the reactors to cool them. They say 800 other staff were evacuated. The fires and explosions at the reactors have injured 15 workers and military personnel and exposed up to 190 people to elevated radiation. In Tokyo, slightly higherthan-normal radiation levels were detected today but officials insisted there are no health dangers. “The amount is extremely small, and it does not raise health concerns. It will not affect us,” Takayuki Fujiki, a Tokyo government official said. The death toll from last week’s earthquake and tsuna-
BUSINESS AT A GLANCE
Notable ● The rapid growth of smartphones and electronic tablets is making the Internet the destination of choice for consumers looking for news, a report released Monday said. Local, network and cable television news, newspapers, radio and magazines all lost audience last year, according to the Project for Excellence in Journalism, a research organization that evaluates and studies the performance of the press. News consumption online increased 17 percent last year from the year before, the project said in its eighth annual State of the News Media survey. The percentage of people who say they get news online at least three times a week surpassed newspapers for the first time. It was second only to local TV news as the most popular news platform and seems poised to pass that medium, too, project director Tom Rosenstiel said. Local TV news has been the most popular format since the 1960s, when its growth was largely responsible for the death of afternoon newspapers, he said.

Struggling states may cancel or delay primaries By Philip Rawls Associated Press Writer
M O N T G O M E R Y , A L A . — In these tough times, even how we nominate presidents is facing the threat of the budget ax. Lawmakers and elections officials in at least six cashstrapped states are hoping to move or replace their standalone 2012 presidential primaries, sacrif icing some influence over who wins the nominations in favor of saving millions of dollars. The moves to either delay primaries by several months or hand over the nominating process to party-run caucuses comes as Republican and Democratic parties implement new rules to limit the number of states voting before March 1. The last election cycle saw states move up their contests to get more say in a process that, ironically, ended up lasting months longer than anyone expected. The 2012 cycle looks different, but not because the electoral map has changed significantly or because the nominating competition is likely to be on one side of the aisle. States are facing billiondollar deficits, and legislators are trying to cut budgets. “We are in the mode now of looking after needs instead of wants,” said Alabama Rep. Steve Clouse, who introduced a bill to move his state’s primary from February or March to June, when it can be merged with a primary for state offices. The move could save nearly $4 million. The governor has recommended $159 million in cuts to more than 200 programs to balance the
budget. Missouri and California are also considering shifting to June. In California’s case, the savings could be $100 million. Kansas, Washington state and Massachusetts are considering caucuses, the kind of political party-run public gatherings made famous in Iowa, where voters gather and cajole neighbors to back their candidate. More than a dozen other states hold such events. There are several states that are trying to maintain their position in the nominating process. Florida and Minnesota want to keep their primaries in February, figuring they will benefit from the increased media exposure and the modest economic bump that comes with campaigns buying advertising and staging events. Those factors and heated races on both sides pushed a slew of states four years ago to try to move to the front of the line. California had moved its presidential primary from June to February in 2008, but it kept state-level contests June. An Assembly committee is expected to sign off on the measure on today to comply with the parties’ new rules, which mandate that only Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada can pick their presidential nominees before March 1. With President Barack Obama unlikely to face a challenge, the chance remains that voters won’t have much say in picking the GOP nominee should the outcome be determined by the early states.

Among “America’s Best Nursing Homes 2011”
mi jumped today as police confirmed the number killed had topped 2,400, though that grim news was overshadowed by a deepening nuclear crisis. Officials have said previously that at least 10,000 people may have died in Miyagi province alone. Millions of people spent a fourth night with little food, water or heating in nearfreezing temperatures as they dealt with the loss of homes and loved ones. Asia’s richest country hasn’t seen such hardship since World War II.

CID questions Wichita officials and residents seem to have many of the same questions raised here in Lawrence about the use of special retail taxing districts
I
t’s good to know that Lawrence isn’t the only Kansas city struggling with how to use its new authority to designate special retail taxing districts. In the last two weeks, the Wichita City Council has acted on two requests to form Community Improvement Districts that allow retail businesses to collect additional sales taxes and use that money for various improvements to their property. It’s the same tool that has been proposed by owners of property near 23rd Street and Ousdahl Road in Lawrence. On March 1, the Wichita council rejected a CID proposal for the aging Eastgate shopping center at East Kellogg and Rock Road, an area not unlike Lawrence’s 23rd and Ousdahl property. Eastgate owners wanted to collect an additional 1 percent sales tax for 22 years to raise an estimated $18.5 million to fund improvements to the center, including work to the parking lot and store facades. The council rejected the plan, saying the shopping center was not removing blight and was not in an area underserved by retail. One council member noted that no public purpose was served by the proposal, adding, “this is just another way to finance improvements.” Eastgate officials argued that their proposal met the city’s existing CID criteria, and was told the city was not happy with those criteria. After the Eastgate vote, the council decided to revisit those criteria in a June meeting. Nonetheless, a week later, the Wichita council approved a CID request for a new Cabela’s store in northeast Wichita. Cabela’s will be allowed to charge an additional 1.2 percent sales tax for 22 years. The expected $17.2 million that will raise will be used for construction expenses and infrastructure improvements, including new exit ramps on Kansas Highway 96. Some council members argued that CID financing shouldn’t be used for new construction and that it would give Cabela’s an unfair advantage over existing outdoor retailers in the Wichita market. However, a majority of the council saw Cabela’s as an important retail draw, a “home run” for Wichita. The taxing district will be not unlike the special district that includes the Cabela’s near the Kansas Speedway in Wyandotte County. News reports didn’t include any information about how or whether Cabela’s would have to notify customers about the increased sales tax, as has been debated by members of the Lawrence City Commission. A bill that would require businesses in a CID to identify their additional tax rate on their sales receipts was introduced last month in the Kansas House but appears to be stuck in the House Taxation Committee. It’s interesting how much the debate taking place in Wichita mirrors the debate here in Lawrence. Should CIDs be used for new construction or only for redevelopment of blighted locations? Is it proper to give taxing authority to private businesses rather than keeping that tool for public purposes? If a desirable retailer like Cabela’s is knocking on your door, should CID funds be used in the same way cities use property tax abatements to attract nonretail business and industry? Neither Wichita or Lawrence officials seem to have clear answers for those questions yet. It will be interesting to see whether and how Wichita chooses to refine its CID criteria in a few months.

Turkey may be poor example for Egypt During my recent trip to Egypt, many young activists told me Turkey’s democracy might be a model for them to follow. In their minds, Turkey, with its mostly Sunni Muslim population, has managed to meld its Muslim heritage with a state based on rule of law and a secular constitution. However, the Turkish government has recently been showing disturbing signs of the kind of authoritarianism the Egyptians spurned. In the past few weeks, Turkish authorities have detained at least a dozen journalists whose work criticized the government. They are accused of being part of an alleged plot to overthrow Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s government after it came to power in 2002. These journalists are only the latest of several hundred current and former military officers, intellectuals, university presidents, women’s rights advocates, and writers rounded up since 2007 as part of this supposed plot. The conspiracy was purportedly initiated by a shadowy network of military officers and ex-security operatives called Ergenekon (the name of a mythical Turkish valley). But Ergenekon looks more and more like an excuse for a religiously oriented government to silence outspoken advocates of maintaining Turkey as a secular state. Consider the cases of two of the arrested journalists. Nedim Sener, a highly respected

reporter for Millyet, received the International Press Institute’s 2010 “World Press Freedom Hero” award for his book about the murder of Armenian Turkish journalist Hrant Dink (in which he alleged that government security forces were complicit). Ahmet Sik, another investigative journalist, had criticized a key supporter of the government, a controversial Turkish imam named Fetullah Gulen, who lives in self-imposed exile in Pennsylvania but has great influence and a large following in Turkey. Sik claimed Gulen’s movement infiltrated Turkey’s security forces. The government prosecutor straight-facedly denied these men were arrested for their writ-
ings, but he refused to make public any evidence against them, citing the (endlessly) ongoing Ergenekon probe. When the U.S. ambassador to Turkey, Frank Ricciardone, asked how the jailing of journalists jibes with Turkey’s stated policy of supporting a free press, Erdogan criticized him harshly. But refusing to answer that question won’t make it go away. The Erdogan government’s pressure on press critics has led the international press watchdog, Reporters Without Borders, to rank Turkey 138th among 178 countries, only two spots above Russia, where journalists are notoriously endangered. The press group attributes this low rank to Turkey’s “frenzied proliferation of lawsuits, incarcerations, and court sentencing, (all) targeting journalists.” In 2009, for example, Turkey’s Tax Ministry levied $3 billion in fines against the Dogan media group of newspapers and TV stations, which were critics of Erdogan, charging he was pushing secular Turkey in too Islamic a direction. If upheld, these draconian fines could put the media group out of business. Using massive tax fines against opponents is all too reminiscent of the tactics used by Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. When the Ergenekon investigation began, some Turkish liberals hoped it might advance civilian controls over a military that had conducted four coups
against elected governments in past decades. But the probe has expanded into an unending witch hunt, with no end in sight. Some of the accused have been held for years without trial. Others, released after tough questioning, have the threat of future indictments hanging over their heads. The government’s case appears to be based largely on a massive network of government wiretaps, from which tidbits are selectively leaked to the media, creating an atmosphere of intimidation. However, the government has yet to prove that any conspiracy actually occurred. “In 5,800 original pages (of Ergenekon charges) there is not one shred of proof that this organization exists,” said Gareth Jenkins, a Turkey specialist who has written extensively on the affair. He has read the entire indictment. “They (the Turkish government) have created a fictional organization, and used it to go after their political opponents,” he said. The Erdogan government rejects such claims, but does nothing to dispel them by bringing the probe to a conclusion. That contradiction casts a shadow over Turkish democracy and its aspirations to enter the European Union. It also undercuts the hope that Ankara can provide the model Egyptian democrats seek. — Trudy Rubin is a columnist and editorial board member for the Philadelphia Inquirer.

They will get to be as big in Lake Potter, and if fed by the students will become tame as swans. If the Coeds will go down to the lake daily and throw the little fellows cracker crumbs, they will become so gentle and tame that they will flock around visitors in perfect schools.’” — Compiled by Sarah St. John

To the editor: The Muslim community in the United States is well aware of the effects and causes of terrorism and they are the first to condemn and decry its use. However, police and political leaders are unaware of this and think American Muslims can do more to stop this crime, hence the investigation by the Congress into this matter. Terrorism is a heinous way of making a statement or changing thinking. We know that it kills and destroys people and infrastructure, but does not work. Muslims are aware of this and decry its use, and of course its effects. Most Muslims in America are unaware of planning or carrying out an act of terrorism and, because we are Americans too, we would stop it at all cost. Our reputation has been severely damaged by individuals who have committed these despicable and heinous crimes, and they who would plan a terrorist attack against the United States would do it in complete silence and secrecy. How could any investigation into the Muslim community derive information pertaining to these individuals? Simply, it can’t. This investigation is a waste of time, human and f inancial resources, not to mention the hysteria it will cause among the American people who do not understand Islam or Muslims and blame every Muslim for the crimes of so few.

To the editor: Parents at Wakarusa Valley School had the opportunity March 2 to meet with Lawrence Public Schools Superintendent Rick Doll and Chief Academic Officer Kim Bodensteiner during the school’s site council meeting. Doll discussed scenarios that may play out as a result of the district’s Elementary School Facility Vision Task Force’s report recommending the closing of Wakarusa and a short-term plan to consolidate up to six other elementary schools. If the report’s recommendations are adopted as submitted, the Board of Education will close Wakarusa at the end of this school year. Further, they will move toward consolidating, in some fashion, Sunset Hill, Hillcrest, Pinckney, Cordley, Kennedy and New York. Consolidation (read as close additional schools) would occur over the next few years. During budget reductions last year, then board president Scott Morgan, proposed “mothballing” Wakarusa for a few years. According to Doll, this would still be the plan. In other words, Wakarusa may be reopened in a few years. In summary, the task force is recommending: 1. Close one school now that meets facility requirements, and needs no immediate updates or repairs, which will be reopened later. 2. Update for ADA compliance and repair schools that will soon be consolidated (closed).
3. Build new schools. Let’s summarize the summary: Close a school this year that will reopen in a few years, while keeping open schools that will be closed in a few years. As granddad would have said, “That is just backasswards.” Robert Kidder, Lawrence
Buried news To the editor: My comment is not meant to demean basketball in any way. After following the disaster in Japan online on Friday night I fully expected to see coverage of this front and center on the Saturday paper. Not only was it not on the front page it was on the last page of the last section — the classifieds — and therefore likely to be missed entirely. Really? What were the editors thinking? I am well aware that the Journal-World made a decision to place local news on the front page; well and good I suppose for a small, local paper. However, there are times when an event in the world is so enormous and of such consequence that it warrants an exception to the front page’s status quo. The earthquake and tsunami that have caused such obvious and as yet imperceptible devastation to Japan should have been such an exception. No matter the timing of the Big 12 Conference and the importance to Lawrence, not even Kansas University basketball should have held precedence over the tragedy in Japan. I mean
no offense to the team or to fans everywhere, but it was wrong to relegate that story to anywhere but the front page and certainly not the last page — no matter what the policy is. Catherine Bolton, Lawrence
‘World’ focus To the editor: I think the Journal-World must take “World” out of your name. I was shocked Saturday morning as I went searching for a story on the Japanese earthquake and tsunami. While I recognize it was a busy news day, what is likely to be one of the biggest stories of the year was not on the front page, nor was there any reference to it there. No article anywhere on Section A or Section B. It was relegated to the last page of the classified section. What were you thinking? As easy-to-develop content on sports is now such a big part of the paper, maybe you should call yourself the Lawrence Journal-Sports. David Barfield, Lawrence

Made up of members of Dawes, Deer Tick and Delta Spirit, Middle Brother plays jangling, lo-fi rock ‘n’ roll that owes more than a little to Sam Philips and Sun Records. The band is joined, unsurprisingly, by Deer Tick and Dawes, who will perform separate sets before shuffling musicians and becoming the headliner. It’s a great indie showcase and it’s all courtesy of South By Southwest, which we can thank for many of the better shows to come through on the way to or from the event.

Right-to-life case moves to St. Louis ST. LOUIS (AP) — The child known as Baby Joseph is now receiving care at a Catholic hospital in the U.S. after doctors in Canada sought to remove the breathing tube keeping him alive. Joseph Maraachli is 13 months old and suffers from a neurodegenerative disease. He had been hospitalized since October at London Health Sciences Centre in Ontario. Doctors in Canada say the illness is irreversible and wanted to remove the breathing tube. His parents appealed to Canadian courts, but the hospital’s decision was upheld. What followed was a social media blitz aimed at convincing the hospital to change course. It refused, so the parents reached out to U.S. hospitals. Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital in St. Louis agreed to accept Joseph. He was flown to Cardinal Glennon late Sunday.

NCAA TOURNAMENT
Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com
Louisville poses threat First impressions tend to last. Still, it’s always wise to put them under a microscope to see if they stand up to scrutiny. Example: When the NCAA Tournament brackets were unveiled on Selection Sunday, the Southwest bracket looked like a favorable one for Kansas University. Upon closer inspection, KU still very much looks like the team to beat, but even if the names of the teams don’t blow you away, the star power should. Hours before the brackets were released, I sent my AllAmerican ballot to the Associated Press. The voting guidelines stipulate that a team doesn’t have to adhere strictly to the format of two guards, two forwards and a center, but does have to be a mix of perimeter and post players, a blend a coach would feel comfortable sending onto the court. My ballot: First team: Nolan Smith (Duke), Jimmer Fredette (Brigham Young), Marcus Morris (Kansas), Derrick Williams (Arizona), Jared Sullinger (Ohio State). Second team: Kemba Walker (Connecticut), Ben Hansbrough (Notre Dame), E’Twaun Moore (Purdue), Kenneth Faried (Morehead State), JaJuan Johnson (Purdue). Third team: Jacob Pullen (Kansas State), Jordan Taylor (Wisconsin), Jon Leuer (Wisconsin), Jordan Williams (Maryland), Markieff Morris (Kansas). Player of the Year: Fredette. Coach of the Year: Bill Self (Kansas). That’s six players — the twins, Hansbrough, Moore, Faried and Johnson — playing in the Southwest region, four in the Southeast, three in the West and one in the East. Williams’ Maryland team didn’t get a tourney berth. No one team in KU’s region is one that, based on matchups, indicates it is built to beat Kansas, but one potential opponent lurks as a dangerous threat to anyone it plays because of its wild style that lends itself to upsets in both directions. No. 4 seed Louisville has hoisted 829 three-point shots. For comparison purposes, consider the totals of other potential opponents during the subregional and regional rounds: UNLV (534), Illinois (566), Purdue (605), Vanderbilt (695), Boston University (721). The Cardinals can lose to anybody when they’re misfiring (a combined 8 for 39 in losses to Drexel and Providence) from long distance and slay giants (13 for 27 in victory against Syracuse) when hitting. The heavy reliance on threes makes the Cards the region’s most likely team to score an upset against KU and the most likely to get upset before having a chance to face the nation’s No. 2 team. Morehead State’s Faried, who passed Tim Duncan on Feb. 19 as the leading rebounder in Division I history, opens the tourney against the Cards. The last thing Pitino needs is for Morehead to taint his sterling reputation (five Final Four appearances for three schools, a .745 winning percentage in 47 tournament games), but stranger things have happened.

Self wants Jayhawks to stay loose, have fun
By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com
Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self will have a game plan — stock full of Xs and Os — for Friday’s NCAA Tournament opener against Boston University. You can bet the Jayhawks, by 5:50 p.m., Friday in Tulsa, will certainly know all of the Terriers’ tendencies. Yet the technical aspect of this game, and any other games the Jayhawks may play in the 2011 NCAAs, may actually not be as important as one huge intangible — KU’s own state of mind.
“Being loose and having fun this time of year is imperative for success,” said Self, who added, “I think we’re more relaxed this year (compared to last year’s 33-3 team), I do. “That was a loose group playing Texas (in Sunday’s 85-73 Big 12 tourney title victory). It may have been a loose group playing K-State in the finals last year (preceding KU’s 1-1 showing in the NCAAs). For whatever reason, I think we have a couple of guys on this team that I think will keep things loose for us.” Those guys? “There’s three — Brady and the
KU women to face Wichita St. in WNIT By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com
Kansas University officials announced late Monday night that the school’s women’s basketball program had been selected to play in the Women’s NIT for the fourth consecutive season and the fifth time in the last six years. The Jayhawks, who finished the season 20-12 and were ousted by national-title contender
Baylor in the second round of the Big 12 Tournament last week in Kansas City, Mo., will play host to Wichita State at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Allen Fieldhouse.

twins,” Self said of senior Brady Morningstar and juniors Marcus and Markieff Morris. “Brady is a fun guy. I think he does a good job keeping everything loose.” Looking back, Self believes the Jayhawks, who entered last year’s NCAA Tournament as the No. 1 overall seed, were wound tight in their 69-67 second-round loss to Northern Iowa in Oklahoma City. “I’d say probably after the game started,” Self said Monday on the Doug Gottlieb ESPN radio show, asked when he first noticed the players’ tight collars. “You get behind, start pressing a

little bit. It’s a long game and certainly things happen early, but even going into the game before against Lehigh (90-74 first-round win), we were down eight to 10 against them. I thought our guys were feeling it a little more. “They’d been ranked No. 1 all year with the exception of two or three weeks. Maybe they felt they were carrying the extra burden a bit. I’m glad Ohio State is No. 1 overall. That’s fine. Let everybody talk about them. We just need to play,” Self added. Please see JAYHAWKS, page 4B
Seabury excited Perkins on board By Clark Goble Journal-World Sports Writer
Seabury Academy girls basketball coach and personal trainer Becky Bridson loves to talk about basketball with one of her clients: former Kansas University athletic director Lew Perkins. Those conversations, held over the past couple of years during regular workouts, became the starting point for Perkins’
new role as assistant girls basketball coach at Seabury. “It’s just one of those things where the timing was perfect. The person was perfect,” Bridson said. “It just kind of evolved, and we’re all very happy he’s on board.” Bridson is ecstatic to work with somebody who had a direct influence on the development of Please see SEABURY, page 3B

Michigan teen’s family grateful for support V I C K S B U R G , M I C H . ( AP ) — Wes Leonard’s parents sobbed as they broke their silence for the first time since their son died earlier this month after making a gamewinning shot for Fennville High School. Gary and Jocelyn Leonard spoke with The Associated Press on Monday night after Schoolcraft beat Fennville 86-62 in a Michigan Class C basketball regional playoff game. They both wore black T-shirts adorned by buttons with their son’s picture in basketball and football uniforms. “You won’t get over it, but you’ve got to get through it,” Jocelyn Leonard told the AP after she and her husband visited Fennville’s locker room. “We couldn’t get through it without everybody helping us.” The 16-year-old Leonard, who spent the first decade of his life in
Baldwin City, Kan., had cardiac arrest March 3 because of his enlarged heart. “He’s what every parent would wish for,” Gary Leonard said. “Losing him so sudden is just so hard. I don’t even know how to describe it.” Every night since his death, members of the team have spent the night at the Leonard’s house. “They don’t want us to be alone,” Jocelyn Leonard said. “Their families have loaned them to us. They sleep on the floor because I can’t let anyone in his room.” The family plans to create a cause in Wes Leonard’s name to encourage others to avoid similar deaths with screenings. “We’re going to do something about prevention,” Jocelyn Leonard said. The Leonards said their 13-yearold son, Mitchell, got a clean bill of
health from a cardiologist on Monday. More than 3, 500 people — including about 70 members of the media, including a crew filing a documentary — were shoulder to shoulder and hip to hip at Vicksburg High School to witness Fennville’s first loss after 23 victories, including three in the playoffs without its star player. Fennville’s players wore black T-shirts over their jerseys during the national anthem and when they were on the bench with “Never Forgotten,” on the front and “Leonard 35” on the back. Fennville Area Fire Chief Lowell Winne watched from the baseline, near Fennville’s bench, and raved about a young man he got to know as his middle school football coach. “Its a huge loss for our community because Wes made everybody around him better,” Winne said. “When Wes walked in a room, it
lifted everybody up because they wanted to be like him and he usually made them smile.” Before Schoolcraft (23-0) pulled away in the second quarter, Vicksburg High School volunteer Adrienne Groff pumped her right fist in a steamy gym to passionately root for a team she didn’t have a connection to just a month ago. “How could you not cheer for them?” she asked. “They’re America’s sweethearts.” After the Leonards first interview since their son’s death, they made a point of thanking, among others, the Fennville school district, the community, basketball coach Ryan Klingler and his wife, Becky, athletic director Tony Petkus, board of education vice president Loren Barnes and superintendent Dirk Weeldreyer. “They protected us and let us have our grieving time,” Jocelyn Leonard said.

Oklahoma fires basketball coach Capel after two losing seasons NORMAN, OKLA. — Oklahoma fired coach Jeff Capel on Monday after he followed a trip to the NCAA tournament’s regional finals with the program’s first back-to-back losing seasons since 1967. Capel was 96-69 in five seasons with the Sooners, but just 27-36 over the past two after Blake Griffin entered the NBA draft early and became the No. 1 overall pick. “This isn’t about our current team or the record of this past season. This is, again, looking at the entire program and our ability to be successful going forward,” athletic director Joe Castiglione said. “I weighed all the factors, and I reached the conclusion that a change was in the best interest of the University of Oklahoma. “It was not an easy decision to reach, mind you, but it certainly is the one I made and made with conviction.” Castiglione said his decision was based not on one factor but on the “totality” of the program, which landed under NCAA investigation again just as its probation was about to end, encountered a severe attendance drop and frequently lost players to early departures. Capel had five years left on the contract that was extended after he made it within a win of the 2009 Final Four, with Griffin leading the way. He was making $1.5 million per year, and had annual raises and stay bonuses built into the contract. His buyout will be in excess of $2 million. A clause in Capel’s contract allows the university to avoid a buyout payment if he was fired for cause, but Castiglione said that’s “not something that we anticipate being an issue.”
COLLEGE BASKETBALL Pelphrey doesn’t agree with firing FAYETTEVILLE, ARK. — John Pelphrey made his feelings clear on his way out at Arkansas. The former Razorbacks coach, speaking for the first time since being fired by athletic director Jeff Long on Sunday, said Monday that he didn’t feel he was given enough time to complete a turnaround at the school. “I do not agree with the decision yesterday to make a change,” Pelphrey said. “I do not. I absolutely do not. Obviously, I would have liked more time. It takes time to build stability in a program. Every situation is different. This situation was different. “I know we were really close to reaping some of the rewards of all our hard work.”

COLLEGE ATHLETICS Big 12, Fox working on deal The Big 12 Conference is nearing a cable agreement with Fox that will more than triple the conference’s revenue over its current contract, Sports Business Journal reported Monday. The long-term deal would pay the 10-team league more than $60 million a year, well up from the $20 million it now receives from its cable contract, industry sources told the Business Journal. Fox, meanwhile, has been in discussions with eight of the league’s schools about establishing a conference-specific channel for a handful of football games, up to 60 basketball games and Olympic sports. The channel would not include programming from the University of Texas, which has partnered with ESPN on a new Longhorns channel, or the University of Oklahoma, which is planning its own channel, as well. KU is among the eight Big 12 schools talking to Fox about a college sports channel to carry its events. The two arrangements — Fox’s cable deal with the league and Fox’s potential channel with the eight teams — are separate conversations, sources told the Sports Business Journal. Fox’s cable deal with the Big 12 must be completed first so that the network knows how much content is available for a conference channel. The conference office is not involved in the talks about a channel for the eight schools. The Big 12’s current cable contract with Fox runs through the 2011-12 academic year and will pay the league $20 million in the final season.
COLLEGE FOOTBALL Tressel apologizes to fans CANTON, OHIO — Ohio State coach Jim Tressel apologized to a room full of fans during his first public speaking engagement since being suspended two games and fined for violating NCAA rules.
NFL Negotiator: 10-year CBA proposed WASHINGTON — Had enough of the he-said, he-said rancor between the NFL and players? Don’t expect it to go away anytime soon. The outcome of the league’s first work stoppage since 1987 could be decided in court; the first hearing on the players’ request for an injunction to block the owners’ lockout was scheduled for April 6. In the meantime, there probably will be more of the same as Monday, when Kevin Mawae — president of the NFL Players Association, the now-dissolved union — accused the league of spreading “complete falsehoods and complete lies.” New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees, on the same conference call as Mawae, said the owners’ final offer Friday “was all a front.” “I think it was all a show, with no real intent to get a deal done, other than just to say they made a proposal — that was no different than anything else that they proposed over the last couple years, couple months, couple weeks,” said Brees, a named plaintiff in the players’ antitrust lawsuit against the league. Brees and Indianapolis Colts center Jeff Saturday, also a member of the players’ executive committee, complained that the players were not given enough time to assess and ask questions about the proposal owners made Friday morning. “It just seems odd you would wait until Friday to put out a 20-point proposal, when each point has a number of different details in it,” Saturday said. The NFL’s lead labor negotiator, Jeff Pash, said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press that Friday’s proposal contained various new provisions. He said owners offered a 10-year deal. “I was frankly surprised that the (owners’ labor) committee supported an offer as forthcoming as that was,” Pash said. He also said the league would have been willing to agree to a third extension to the collective bargaining agreement, which originally was due to expire at the end of March 3, before two delays.

10 NCAA tourney observations field never should have expanded from 64 in the first place). 2. Each year in the tournament, there seems to be a 5 vs. 12 upset (or two). This year, I like the upstart No. 12 seed Richmond Spiders (27-7, 13-3 Atlantic 10) taking down No. 5 seed Vanderbilt (23-10, 9-7 SEC). Richmond, which owns a quality victory over Purdue, has won seven games in a row and 11 of its last 12. The Spiders recently won the Atlantic 10 tournament. Plus, Vanderbilt has a recent history of being upset. Remember last year? No. 13 Murray State 66, No. 4 Vanderbilt 65. 3. Kansas’ path as the second No. 1 seed seems to be more favorable than the overall No. 1, Ohio State. In the East region, Ohio State will run into a dangerous George Mason squad or Villanova in round 2, while the Jayhawks should be able to handle UNLV or Illinois in the Southwest region in round 2. Furthermore, OSU could draw No. 4 Kentucky (winners of six straight, SEC tournament champs) in the Sweet 16, and No. 2 North Carolina or No. 3 Syracuse in the Elite Eight, if seeds hold. No thanks. Kansas could draw No. 4 Louisville in the Sweet 16 and No. 2 Notre Dame or No. 3 Purdue in the Elite Eight. 4. Why is Texas (27-7) a No. 4 seed? This is particu-
larly perplexing when you glance at the bottom right of your bracket and see Florida (26-7) as a No. 2. Was the committee throwing back Patron shots while assigning these two seeds? OK, so Florida has a national ranking of 4 in strength of schedule on realtimerpi.com, and an RPI of 8. UT’s strength of schedule is 15, while its RPI is 11. These are not two teams that should be separated by two seeds, though. 5. Best player in the tournament: BYU’s Jimmer Fredette. As Chris Walken might say: I’ve got a fever. And the only prescription ... is more Jimmer. Fredette posted a half-century (more, actually, since it was 52) on New Mexico in a memorable Mountain West tournament semifinals matchup last week. He leads the country with 28.5 points per game. Fredette is one of the most exciting players the game’s offered in a few years. I’d caution advancing BYU too far in your bracket, though. The loss of Brandon Davies, its best interior post player who was suspended for violating the team’s honor code, could haunt the Cougars. 6. Big 12 outlook: Texas: The Longhorns will take on No. 13 Oakland (25-9) at 11:15 a.m. on Friday in Tulsa, Okla. If they win, the Horns would face the winner of No. 5 Arizona (27-7) and No. 12 Memphis (25-9). I’m pulling for an Arizona-Texas clash in what would be the most exciting second-round matchup I can ever remember. KU fans who make the trip to Tulsa would be fortunate enough to witness it. 7. Big 12 outlook: Texas A&M: The No. 7 Aggies (248) find themselves in KU’s
bracket in the Southwest region, taking on No. 10 Florida State (21-10) at 3:10 pm. on Friday in Chicago. A&M has a solid shot of winning, but would likely run into No. 2 Notre Dame in the second round on Sunday. When updating your bracket, be sure to check on the status of Florida State star guard Chris Singleton, who’s questionable with a foot injury. It looks like he’s going to play, but the Aggies would have a decisive advantage if Singleton doesn’t suit up. Texas A&M has won first-round NCAA tourney games each of the past five seasons. 8. Big 12 outlook: Kansas State: The No. 5 Wildcats (22-10) have a tough draw in round 1, when they’ll face No. 12 Utah State (30-3) at 8:57 p.m. on Thursday in Tucson, Ariz. If KSU gets by Utah State, it could make a run, with subsequent games against Wisconsin, Pittsburgh and Florida/BYU, if the seeds hold. Time for Jacob Pullen to make his name known across the country. 9. Big 12 outlook: Missouri: The No. 11 Tigers (23-10) sputtered into the tournament and will face No. 6 Cincinnati (25-8) at 8:50 p.m. on Thursday in Washington, D.C. Missouri has lost four of its past five games and displayed nothing at the Big 12 tournament that would suggest it’s capable of a deep NCAA run. MU would face the No. 3 UConn/No. 14 Bucknell winner if it advances. 10. Fill out your NCAA Tournament brackets on KUsports.com today.

talking to the media about the hiring. Perkins announced his retirement from athletic director at KU on Sept. 7, 2010, moving up by a year his initial retirement plans. “He’s got time,” Nelson said. “He likes the school and he’s a friend of our school. He wants to do something to help the kids. “It’s very simple. There’s no motive. He’s not doing it for any reason at all. He’s been the AD at Kansas. He doesn’t need to do this but he wants to.” The personal trainer relationship isn't Perkins’ only tie to Seabury. His daughter, Amy, served as admissions director in 2007-2008. The school is required to pay Perkins, but he will only be paid a small amount — likely in the area of a dollar — to coach. Essentially, Perkins is volunteering and will donate any income back to the school. Seabury’s program only started two years ago, and the Seahawks haven’t played a full varsity schedule yet. Perkins’ exact role hasn’t been established, but he will work with all of the teams, from the varsity to the new sixth-grade team.
“I just think that he’s probably going to wear a lot of hats,” Bridson said. “He’s going to be a huge help to us. He’s really going to help elevate our program and take it to the next level.” Seabury participates in the Kansas State High School Activities Association Class 1A athletic programs. Bridson expects Perkins to be at every practice and on the bench for every game. She said she’s already learned a lot from Perkins in the preliminary stages of their working relationship. “I don’t think any of us really know the far reaches that this can take us,” Bridson said. “I’m so happy for the kids because they’re such good kids and they work their butts off. Sometimes when we go into competitive situations, that isn’t reflected.” This won’t be Perkins’ first go-around in coaching. He served as the men’s basketball coach at the University of South Carolina Aiken from 1969-79. Rob Matwick, currently the executive vice president of ballpark operations with the Texas Rangers, played for Perkins at USC Aiken during
the 1978-79 season. He remembers Perkins’ toughness as a coach. “Tell any of those kids when they’re running back on defense, they better make sure they turn their heads and look at the basketball,” Matwick said. “Because Lew can hit you in the head with a basketball with as much precision as a Nolan Ryan fastball.” Matwick appreciated that intensity and said he still thinks of Lew and his wife, Gwen, as second parents. Perkins spoke at Matwick’s induction into the Texas Baseball Hall of Fame in 2005. “There was no finer person as a mentor and a father figure than Lew,” Matwick said. “He’s always been a special person for me.” Bridson said Perkins has reasons for taking the job beyond helping Seabury, including gaining the satisfaction of helping a young program improve. “He’s super excited. He’s super enthusiastic,” Bridson said. “I can’t wait for it to be November 15, basically.”
The following is an entry from Eric Sorrentino’s Conference Chatter blog, which follows features and trends in the Big 12, on KUsports.com. Because America’s workforce slacks off this week in the holy quest to fill out the perfect NCAA Tournament bracket, here are 10 bulletpoint observations leading up to the Big Dance. If this blog entry takes you away from work, the Conference Chatter blog apologizes in advance (hey, that rhymed). 1. Colorado got jobbed. Is there any other way to describe this indefensible omission? CU coach Tad Boyle should storm NCAA headquarters and demand answers. Coach, if you need suggestions in listening to some heavy rock to let off some steam while throwing furniture around your office, I highly recommend Avenged Sevenfold’s “Waking the Fallen” album or Sevendust’s “Seasons.” Seriously, though, the Buffaloes (21-13, 8-8 Big 12) scored six victories against top-50 teams. They beat KState, a No. 5 seed in the NCAA tourney, three times. They beat Texas, a No. 4 seed. UAB (22-8, 12-4 Conference USA), for example, an inexplicable tournament team, beat ... umm ... VCU (23-11, 12-6 Colonial Athletic). Well whoop-debleepin’-doo. UAB also played the following NCAA tournament teams: Georgia, Duke, Memphis, Memphis again. They lost to all of them. This was an example on Sunday of over-evaluation from the NCAA committee, which typically does a fine job of selecting the field. Perhaps the new, 68team composition confused some folks this year (the

the women’s basketball program at the University of Connecticut. As a senior in high school in 1995, Bridson idolized the Huskies as they won their first of seven national championships. Perkins served as athletic director at UConn from 1990-2003. Though he wasn’t responsible for hiring current coach Geno Au r i e m m a , P e r k i n s d i d continue to extend his contract and help the program grow into a national powerhouse. “He knew a good coach when he saw one,” Bridson said. “That’s history right there. He had influence on Geno Auriemma and he had influence on all those basketball players and some of the greatest female athletes of our time.” Seabury athletic director Eric Nelson said that Perkins’ experience with high-level basketball was important. Perkins could not be reached for comment. Nelson said Perkins would not be

After reaching the WNIT title game in 2009, the Jayhawks went 2-1 last season, picking up victories over Prairie View A&M and Creighton before falling at Illinois State in the third round. The Jayhawks earned the Big 12 Conference’s automatic bid to the WNIT despite finishing just 6-10 in league play. KU was led by all-Big 12 first-team selection Carolyn Davis, a sophomore forward,
who averaged 18 points and 7.2 rebounds per game. Davis was backed by sophomore guard Monica Engelman (12.1 ppg) and junior forward Aishah Sutherland, (8.8 ppg) and a team-leading 7.5 rebounds per game. Wichita State enters Wednesday’s game at 17-14. The Shockers finished fifth in the Missouri Valley Conference this season and were knocked off by Northern Iowa in the semifinals of the conference tournament. Wichita State is coached by Jody Adams and led by Haleigh Lankster (13.3 ppg) and Jessica Diamond (9.4 ppg).

Pierce backs Kansas By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com
Nine-time NBA all-star Paul Pierce, who has played for the Boston Celtics the past 13 seasons, is pleased that Boston University has advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2002. But root for the Terriers against his alma mater, Kansas University, on Friday in Tulsa, Okla.? Not going to happen. “I’m in a tough predicament,” Pierce, the Celtics’ captain told NESN.com. “Well, no. It’s not that tough a predicament. Everybody knows I’m a Kansas guy. BU’s season’s going to be over next week. I’m sorry, guys (Terriers). I still love you.” Pierce is convinced the (322) Jayhawks will eliminate the (21-13) champions of the America East Conference. “I’ll guarantee we won’t lose the first game,” Pierce said, well aware no No. 1 seed has ever lost to a 16.
“Finally to get a chance to sit down and actually watch your own school get its name called, it’s an unbelievable feeling.” Griffin isn’t ruling out a No. 16 seed finally beating a top seed. “It’s got to happen eventually, so you never know,” Griffin told the Globe. ●
No fear: America East player of the year John Holland, a 6-5 senior from Bronx, N.Y., said the Terriers will not be in awe of KU. “We played Kentucky (91-57 loss in Lexington). We played Villanova (82-66 loss in Philadelphia), so I don’t think it has anything to do with (us) being intimidated, it’s just a matter of executing and hopefully you end up with the opportunity to do something special,’’ Holland told the Boston Globe. Holland averages 19. 2 points a game off 38.7 percent shooting. He’s made 73 of 222 threes for 32.9 percent and has ● made 85.9 percent of his free Boston karma?: Boston throws. ● University junior guard Matt Charity work: Bob Ryan of Griff in watched another school that begins with the the Boston Globe points out letter ‘B’ knock off KU in the that in BU’s last four games first round of the 2005 NCAA (ending in margins of two, Tournament. nine, six and two points), BU Griff in’s brother, John, has attempted 116 foul shots to played for the No. 14-seed their opponents’ 44.

female former high school classmate, along with her girlfriend and the girlfriend’s husband, who was seated at the lobby bar. Chambers chatted with the two women, then found himself grabbing his neck after being attacked from behind. “The friend’s husband was out of his mind drunk, on drugs, too, I think,” Chambers told BU Today. “He thought I was hitting on his wife. He stabbed me twice with a broken vodka glass. I was in the hospital for four or five days. I was a centimeter away from death. It took me a long time to recover mentally.” Chambers this past preseason showed his players a bag of bloody clothes and a scar that runs several inches down his neck. “You want to know why I have so much energy, why I act the way I act, why I embrace life, why I love this job, this is why,” he told BU Today, indicating every day he’s happy to be alive. “Maybe the guys didn’t know why I was doing it. I was just trying to reveal who I was, to open up. If they don’t know who you are, they won’t be able to trust you.” Griffin said he was shocked when his coach pulled out his old, bloody clothes from the day he was attacked. “It was a very emotional thing for him to talk about, a tough time in his life. I appreciate that he opened up to us,” Griffin told BU Today. “It really showed what he’s been through, and that really meant a lot to us. He was trying to tell us to not take for granted every day that we put on this Boston University uniform, to really cherish every day. You never know what’s going to happen in your life.”

KU’s eighth-year coach said it all starts at the top. “From a preparation standpoint, we will not change much,” he said, “but I will definitely try to create a looser atmosphere because I know they care. If this team didn’t care, we wouldn’t be 32-2. I just want to create an atmosphere where they are loose. “I think there’s ways to do it. One thing about a coach,” he told Gottlieb, who like Self is a former Oklahoma State player, “is he can affect the mood of a room. You played for coach (Eddie) Sutton. When he was in one of his moods, didn’t the whole room come down? When he was in one of those moods where he was feeling good and uplifted, didn’t the whole room come up? Coaches can do that.” Senior Tyrel Reed is ready to play carefree basketball in the NCAAs. “I think the key is to be loose, have fun and enjoy the experience,” Reed said. “If you are too uptight, you don’t make shots. You don’t do things you need to do. Enjoy it. Have fun.” He agreed with Self that last year’s Jayhawks, who were overall No. 1 seed, may have felt a little more pressure than this year’s squad, which was ranked No. 1 for just a week. “This year, Ohio State kind of carried that burden,” Reed said. “We’ve just got to go play loose. Maybe last year we were too uptight. That could have been going on. We just need to have fun.” Senior Brady Morningstar said the key to Friday’s game, besides following Self’s game plan will be to ... “go out and play like you know how to play, be excited, have energy like you are happy to be there. If you have fun and play ball

“
“It wouldn’t be emotional,
I think the key is to be but I think certainly there loose, have fun and enjoy would be some incentive,” Self said. “I’m sure they would the experience.” — KU senior Tyrel Reed like you can, the rest takes care of itself.” ●
Morris honored: KU junior Marcus Morris on Monday was named second-team AllAmerica by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association. The first team consisted of Jimmer Fredette, BYU; JaJuan Johnson, P urdue; Nolan Smith, Duke; Jared Sullinger, Ohio State and Kemba Walker, UConn. Morris was joined on the second team by Kenneth Faried, Morehead State; Jordan Hamilton, Texas; Ben Hansbrough, Notre Dame and Derrick Williams, Arizona. KU’s Morris on Monday also was chosen as one of 20 players to appear on the final ballot for the Wooden Award. ●
Thursday’s practice: The Jayhawks will hold an open practice for fans from 4:25 p.m. to 5:05 p.m., Thursday at BOK Center in Tulsa. Boston’s practice will also be open from 5:55 p.m. to 6:35 p.m. ●
Recruiting: KU has offered a scholarship to Jamari Traylor, a 6-7, 210-pound senior power forward from IMG Academies in Bradenton, Fla., according to Rivals.com. Traylor has received offers from St. John’s, Indiana, Minnesota and Virginia Tech. KU is after Traylor’s teammate, DeAndre Daniels, a 6-8, 180pound senior, who is ranked No. 9 by Rivals.com. Traylor is not ranked at this time. ●
Possible Illini matchup: Self was asked by Gottlieb about a potential third-round game against Illinois, where Self coached three years before heading to KU.
love nothing more than to beat whoever if they are fortunate enough to play (after opening game against UNLV) and we are fortunate enough to play. If they are playing Kansas, there may be a little extra because I used to coach there. Maybe playing Illinois would be a little (extra) for us because I used to coach there. I think we are far enough removed. Eight years is a long time. There won’t be any of those feelings as you would get I think if you were freshly removed from a job.” ●
More on Buffs’ snub: KU coach Bill Self again expressed shock at Colorado’s being snubbed by the NCAA Tournament Committee. “I think every coach in our league is very disappointed for Colorado,” Self said Monday. “Those guys in my opinion without any hesitation deserve to be in the tournament. I don’t have the other tournament resumes in front of me, which you probably need before you can be an expert. You need to be able to study it, and I’m not (an expert), but I didn’t see a team that finishes 8-8, really 10-9 (after postseason tourney) in the third best league in the country with four wins over top five seeds, to me, that is unbelievable. “Six wins against top 50. There were teams on the bubble that had two against the top 50 or three. I am hurting for Tad (Boyle, CU coach and KU grad) and his players because I think they really deserve to be in the field. “Texas getting a four seed blows my mind. I thought they had a two locked up,” Self added. “I like their draw to advance and I think matchups are much more important (than seed).”

In an age when celebrity trumps everything, Donald Trump gets his own “Comedy Central Roast” (9:30 p.m., Comedy Central). Back in the olden days in a place I liked to call Planet Earth, roasts were reserved for revered, or at least feared, comedians. They offered a chance for wise guys known for cruel barbs, like Don Rickles, to be on the receiving end of his colleagues’ vicious wit. Or at least a couple thousand dirty jokes. Now we live in a world where mere celebrity status obliterates all distinctions. That’s how we get spectacles like Elton John appearing on “Inside the Actors Studio.” The singer/songwriter has many arrows in his quiver. A talent for acting is not among them. Seth MacFarlane will host the Trump roast. He’s a rather perfect choice for the job, as his “Family Guy” franchise is not so much a comedy, or even a coherent story, but a frantic delivery system for an onslaught of disjointed gags about popular culture. Expect much the same here tonight. Another sign that the roast has degenerated into mere hype is the fact that the “Roast of Donald Trump” has a PG rating. Time was, no comic worth his or her salty mouth would be associated with anything so mild. ● Speaking of Trump, the star of a recent “Celebrity Apprentice” wraps up the first season of “Joan and Melissa: Joan Knows Best?” (8 p.m., WE). ● At the risk of repeating myself, it has always struck me as a bad sign when a hit show trends toward relentless reliance on guest stars. Just last week, Gwyneth Paltrow returned to “Glee” (7 p.m., Fox). Tonight, Kathy Griffin and Loretta Devine guest star as harsh and opinionated judges at the singing regionals. And as has been widely reported, Griffin has modeled her character on a certain former Alaska governor and TLC reality star. ● Erica and Diana’s attempt to foment a coup against Anna has startling consequences on the season finale of “V” (8 p.m., ABC). Like “Fringe” and “The Event,” this series has gathered some fans but perhaps not enough of them to merit another season. Yet another series that has struggled to break out of cult status in the post“Lost” environment. ● DVDs available today include the first season of NBC’s “Who Do You Think You Are?” and season one of the 1959 Western “Laramie.”
Tonight’s other highlights ● Marital competition on “No Ordinary Family” (7 p.m., ABC). ● A desert ambush leaves three Marines missing on “NCIS: Los Angeles” (8 p.m., CBS). ● Legal matters and hurt feelings on “Raising Hope” (8 p.m., Fox). ● Hunting and gathering car deals on “Traffic Light” (8:30 p.m., Fox). ● A showdown erupts between Alicia and Glenn on “The Good Wife” (9 p.m., CBS). ● Jabbar resists neatness on “Parenthood” (9 p.m., NBC). ● A graffiti artist finishes his last tag on “Detroit 1-8-7” (9 p.m., ABC). ● Few cut him slack after Lights suffers a setback on “Lights Out” (9 p.m., FX).

going to have to be more firm and consistent. Say, “Sorry, you cannot stay here.” Don’t let them in the door. Don’t give them keys. When they complain, tell them point blank that you love them, but people leave the house a mess, no one contributes a thing, it strains your finances and you’ve had enough. You will invite them when you are ready to have company. Period.
Dear Annie: Ever since my husband and I moved to a resort area, we have enjoyed many family gatherings at our house. These were invited guests at times that suited our schedules. Lately, however, the family seems to expect our house to be a spontaneous crash pad because we have “the most accommodating space.” The truth is, almost every visit has become a financial burden and a physically taxing occasion, especially when they linger for days, sometimes weeks. Our utility bills skyrocket, the food costs are insurmountable, and this doesn’t include the unrelenting domestic chores with little or no help. During their stay, our house looks ransacked,

Dear Annie: My husband and I are in our mid-60s, married 42 years. Our marriage hasn’t been great, but it’s also not horrible. About 15 years ago, my husband developed erectile dysfunction and stopped wanting sex. I urged him to talk to his doctor, which he did. The doctor gave him some pills, but he refused to try them. I have tried other remedies on my own, but nothing has helped. I admit I am not beautiful, and I also am overweight. Still, I’ve always been this way. My husband never cuddles up to me in bed like he used to. He never puts his arms around me, kisses me or shows any affection whatsoever. And he refuses to discuss it. I feel like I’m living with my brother. Our anniversaries come and go with no celebration of any kind. Every little thing he does seems to irritate me, and I can barely speak to him. Of course, when I do, he doesn’t listen. Sometimes he actually walks away while I’m talking. I don’t know what to do anymore. — Tired of It All

No. 1 women: UConn, Tennessee, Baylor, Stanford By Doug Feinberg Associated Press Basketball Writer
Connecticut’s path to a third straight national championship could include a renewal of the most heated rivalry in women’s college basketball. For Geno Auriemma to match Tennessee coach Pat Summitt with an eighth national championship he might have to go through her Lady Vols, who earned the top seed in the Dayton region. The Huskies earned the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA women’s basketball tournament Monday night. If both come through their regions, UConn and Tennessee could meet again in the national semifinals at Indianapolis. Baylor and Stanford were the other two No. 1 seeds. It was the second straight No. 1 seed for the Cardinal, who fell to UConn in the title game last season. “I think if it’s a four-horse race, there are some dark horses,” Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer said. “We’re not a clear-cut favorite. Tennessee’s not a clear-cut favorite; Baylor’s not; and UConn’s not.” First up for UConn is Hartford, which won the America East title, and is coached by former Huskies star Jen Rizzotti. The two teams have played each other over the last six years but didn’t meet this season. Hartford is win-
less in 11 meetings against UConn. The Lady Bears, led by sophomore center Brittney Griner, will face No. 16 Prairie View in their opener on Sunday in the Dallas region. If the seeds hold, Baylor could face No. 2 Texas A&M for the fourth time this season. “I can’t ever use the word shocked with the NCAA anymore,” Baylor coach Kim Mulkey said. “I don’t think anybody wants to see the same teams that you see from your conference.” Stanford, which opens against UC Davis, could also face a team for the fourth time this season — UCLA. The Cardinal swept the No. 3 seed in Spokane three times, but the Bruins had a late lead in the Pac-10 title game on Saturday. “I didn’t know UCLA would be in our bracket. Honestly, I’m shocked about that,” VanDerveer said. Tennessee is making its 30th trip to the tournament. This time the Lady Vols will open up against No. 16 Stetson. Summitt was focused on the team’s first-round opponent and not worried about a potential showdown with UConn in the Final Four. “Well, we’re not even going to think about that,” she said. “It’s all about one game at a time and survive and advance.” Indianapolis will host the Final Four on April 3 and 5.
