Morris twins help Kansas bury Illini

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

TULSA, OKLA. — There were no funeral services held for Bill Self and his Kansas University basketball players on Sunday night in BOK Center.

The 2010-11 Jayhawks are still breathing today, marching on to the NCAA Tournament’s Sweet 16 after a convincing 73-59 victory over Illinois and coach Bruce Weber, the man who held a mock burial service for Self after Self left U of I for KU in 2003.

“We’re all alive and well and glad coach Self is our coach,” KU senior guard Tyrel Reed said in a festive locker room.

The top-seeded Jayhawks (342) wanted to play well for several reasons Sunday, none bigger than taking care of their beloved coach.

“When we broke the huddle at halfcourt before the game, Marcus said, ‘We want to do this for coach. We have to win this game

Marcus backed up his pregame words by scoring 17 points and grabbing 12 rebounds on a night his brother, Markieff, hit the No. 9-seeded Illini (20-14) for 24 points and 12 boards.

“That’s our guy,” Marcus Morris said of Self. “Coach didn’t say anything about it, but I felt this game meant a lot to him. I told the guys, ‘Let’s do it for coach.’’’

“We definitely did that for coach,” noted Markieff, who had KANSAS COACH BILL SELF watches with the bench as the Jayhawks make a run against Please see KANSAS, page 4A Illinois during the second half.

What a sweet day for KU athletics TULSA, OKLA. — Three great athletes from Kansas University finished like champions Sunday and showed the world how much they have grown.

Two of them always wowed people with their unusual skill for men their size, displaying such amazing finesse, but they arrived at KU needing to instill power in their games.

Another always had extraordinary power and had to refine the finesse end of his game.

Right about the time Marcus and Markieff Morris were riding the Kansas team bus to the BOK Center for a game against Illinois, the tallest team in the NCAA Tournament, Gary Woodland, 26 and one of the longest drivers of the golf ball on the PGA Tour, drained clutch putts 1,200 miles away, in Tampa, Fla., to win his first tour event, a $990,000 purse, and a spot in the Masters field.

The performance of the Mor-

ris twins in a 73-59 victory against Illinois had little to do with finesse and everything to do with power and toughness.

Woodland’s greatness wasn’t about overpowering the golf ball, though he certainly did that, smoking a 2-iron 287 yards off the tee on No. 18. It was about him making all of his putts.

“I talked to him Saturday night, and the last thing I said to him was, ‘Let’s make tomorrow a great day for Jayhawks.’ He Please see KEEGAN, page 5A

Woodland comes up clutch for first PGA victory PALM HARBOR, FLA. — Gary Woodland, a pure athlete who only started serious golf competition eight years ago, figured out quickly that hitting the ball from here to the moon was not going to help him win tournaments.

Perhaps it was only fitting that his biggest shot Sunday at the Transitions Championship came with his putter.

The race to the finish at Innisbrook was so wild that Woodland didn’t make a single par on the back nine until the last hole. He made a 10foot par putt that proved to be the difference in a one-shot victory over Webb Simpson.

“I can’t come out here and hit the golf ball 900 yards and win,” said Woodland, exaggerating only slightly. “I was very conservative this week, laid back almost all day — all four days — and just tried to get the ball in the fairway, get it on the green and let the putter do the work. That’s what I’m learning.”

The final par — his only par on a back nine that featured five birdies and three bogeys — gave Woodland a 4-under 67 and his first trip to Augusta National for the Masters.

Simpson also flew long on the 18th green and faced the same scary shot as Woodland in the group ahead. He hit off the back of the green, chipped 20 feet by the hole and the par putt was the only bad stroke he made all day.

The bogey gave him a 69 and a runner-up fin-

Chalmers to miss up to 2 weeks MIAMI (AP) — Miami Heat point guard Mario Chalmers is expected to miss up to two weeks after spraining his right knee.

Chalmers was injured against the Denver Nuggets on Saturday. Tests performed on his knee Sunday confirmed the original diagnosis.

It’s a blow for the Heat, with the playoffs opening in less than a month, though not as severe as it could have been. The only other true point guard Miami has on the roster is Mike Bibby, who has been with the Heat for only 10 games.

Chalmers is averaging 6.6 points and 2.4 assists per game. After Miami’s “Big 3” of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, he ranks fourth on Miami’s roster in scoring.

Royals fall to Rangers S U R P R I S E , A RIZ . (AP ) — Derek Holland made the argument on the mound and continued after his outing was over.

He wants a spot in the Texas Rangers’ rotation.

Holland pitched five strong innings to help the Rangers beat the Kansas City Royals, 5-2, on Sunday, snapping a five-game losing streak.

“I had all my pitches working for me,” he said. “I was locating the ball well and my defense behind me was making the plays.

Everything was working out perfect for us.

The A-game.”

The left-hander allowed an unearned run and five singles, struck out three and walked one. Brett Tomko finished for Texas, yielding one run and four hits.

Holland’s role on the Rangers could be linked to Neftali Feliz, who could join the rotation after saving 40 games and winning the AL Rookie of the Year award last season. If Feliz becomes a starter, Holland could end up the in the bullpen, where he was in the 2010 playoffs and World Series.

“My goal is to make the rotation,” Holland said. “Feliz wants to be there, too. It’s going to go either way. It’s our job to make it hard for them. If I get put in the bullpen, I’m going to be OK, but like I said, I’m going to be in that rotation. I know I will. I have confidence. Confidence is everything.”

All-Star closer Joakim Soria pitched 1 1⁄3 scoreless innings for the Royals, finishing his outing with a flourish. Elvis Andrus hit a leadoff double in the seventh and Josh Hamilton followed with a single, but Soria struck out Adrian Beltre, Michael Young and Nelson Cruz to end the inning. He also struck out Mitch Moreland to begin the eighth.

“That’s the closer in him,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “First and third and all of a sudden that extra little thing he’s got that makes him so special kicks in. We’re up to the point in spring where we’re trying to get him up to a 35-pitch inning and we did that today.”

Moreland had two hits, including his third spring homer, for Texas. Julio Borbon went 3 for 4 to raise his average to .380.

Royals right f ielder Jeff Francoeur snapped an 0-for-25 skid with three hits.

ish in an otherwise solid performance for his first time in serious contention.

Woodland took only 23 putts in the final round — 10 on the back nine. According to the Shotlink data, he didn’t miss a single putt inside 20 feet in the final round, with four of those 17 putts outside 10 feet.

Woodland, who played college basketball at Washburn until deciding to transfer to Kansas to play golf, became the first player to earn his inaugural PGA Tour title at Innisbrook.

The win gives Woodland an invitation to Augusta National, where his awesome power and soft putting touch could make for an interesting marriage at the Masters. He missed the second half of his rookie season two years ago with shoulder surgery, but began to show potential when he lost in a playoff at the Bob Hope Classic.

Woodland finished at 15-under 269 and earned $990,000, moving up to No. 3 in the FedEx Cup standings.

“One thing that helped me was putting, and today it saved me,” Woodland said. “Luckily, it won me a golf tournament.”

COLLEGE BASKETBALL Texas Tech hires Gillispie LUBBOCK, TEXAS — Texas Tech hired Billy

Gillispie as the new men’s basketball coach, two seasons after he was fired at Kentucky.

Gillispie will be introduced Wednesday at a news conference, school athletics spokesman Blayne Beal said Sunday. Gillispie replaces Pat Knight, who was fired this month.

In 2009, Kentucky fired Gillispie after the Wildcats went 40-27 in his two seasons and missed the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 17 years.

He agreed to a five-year contract, according to a statement released by the school.

“I can’t wait to get started,” Gillispie said in the statement. “Texas Tech is a great school that is located in a great community and is part of one of the toughest conferences in the country.”

KANSAS OUTFIELDER CASEY LYTLE DELIVERS A HIT during the first game of a doubleheader against Oklahoma State. The Jayhawks swept the Cowboys on Sunday at Hoglund Ballpark.

COLLEGE BASEBALL

Kansas sweeps OSU J-W Staff Reports

Senior Jimmy Waters went 3-for-4 and drove in what proved to be the winning run as Kansas knocked off Oklahoma State, 5-4, to sweep a Big 12 baseball doubleheader Sunday at Hoglund Ballpark. KU won the first game, 7-2.

Kansas improved to 9-10 on the season and 2-1 in the Big 12 with the victory. The loss dropped the Cowboys to 14-5 on the season and 1-2 in the Big 12. This is the third straight year the Jayhawks have won their first Big 12 series of the season.

“I’m really proud of how mature we were this weekend,” KU coach Ritch Price said. “We showed some toughness, and we grinded through all three days of the series. I think it shows the progress that we’ve made in the last four weeks. We’ve played a really difficult schedule to prepare for this weekend, and I think you just saw the benefit of it.”

The Cowboys made one last attempt at a rally in the top of the ninth as catcher Jared Womack made it 5-4 with a sacrifice fly. The Cowboys put runners on the corners with two outs, but Kansas reliever Colton Murray shut down the OSU offense, getting right fielder Randy McCurry to fly out to right to end the game.

Murray earned his second victory, pitching four innings of relief and allowing two runs on five hits.

Freshman Alex Cox pitched five innings, giving up two runs on eight hits with six strikeouts.

In the first game, Waters’ three-run triple in the fourth inning led the Jayhawks.

“I was on deck, and I was just hoping that (Casey) Lytle was going to get on, because I wanted an opportunity to try to salvage some of the slow start. I put a good swing on a changeup that hung. I’m just really happy that the ball fell in for me, because I thought I hit it well enough to get out of the ballpark. It just fell in the gap. It was a big hit for us and a big blow for them.”

Grand slam propels KU J-W Staff Reports

C O N W A Y , S . C . — Tied through six innings, Kansas University loaded the bases in the top of the seventh, and sophomore Maggie Hull launched a grand slam to lift the Jayhawks to a 6-2 softball victory over Coastal Carolina on Sunday.

Kansas concluded the weekend a perfect 5-0 to win the Chanticleer Classic, its fifth pre-conference tournament title this season. KU also extended an 11-game winning streak as it improved to 26-3 overall.

CCU fell to 14-11 on the season.

“I am really proud of the way we played this weekend,” KU coach Megan Smith said.

“We were definitely tested, and our girls battled and did extremely well. I think Maggie Hull had an unbelievable weekend at the plate so we’re really proud of her and we’re really excited to start Big 12 play Wednesday.”

Hull led Kansas with a .438 batting average (7-for-16) during the tournament, including two home runs and two dou-

NCAA WEST REGIONAL

Arizona edges Texas The Associated Press

Arizona 70, Texas 69 T U L S A , O K L A . — Derrick Williams is now 2-for-2 in game-saving plays in the NCAA Tournament.

The Arizona sophomore and Pac-10 Player of the Year made his second in as many tournament games Sunday night, completing a threepoint play with 9.6 seconds remaining to lift the Wildcats.

Williams also had the saving block with 2 seconds remaining in Arizona’s opening 77-75 win over Memphis on Friday. He struggled for much of the game Sunday but f inished with 17 points, including the final three.

“I wasn’t surprised by the block against Memphis,” Williams said. “I am a little surprised by the shot I made today. I haven’t seen the replay yet, but I wasn’t looking at the basket. I was looking down so I wouldn’t have a hard fall.

“I was surprised it went in, but at the same time I’m glad it went in.”

The win over the No. 4 seed Longhorns didn’t come without its share of controversy.

Texas (28-8) trailed by as many as 13 points in the first half before J’Covan Brown scored 21 of his 23 in the second to lead the Longhorns back into the game.

Brown was 13-of-13 on free throws, bringing his twogame tournament total to a perfect 25-of-25. His jumper in the lane with just over a minute remaining gave Texas a 69-67 lead, its first since it was up 12-11 early in the game.

The shot appeared as though it would keep the

Longhorns in the lead for good after Williams misfired on a go-ahead attempt with 14.5 seconds remaining. Texas freshman Tristan Thompson blocked the attempt, which Jordan Hamilton corralled before calling a timeout for the Longhorns.

Following the timeout is when the fun began, at least for Arizona. Texas’ Cory Joseph struggled to inbound the ball against the swarming Wildcats defense and appeared to call a timeout.

However, referee Richard Cartmell called Joseph for a five-second violation, though replays showed he appeared to make the call before reaching five.

“I had five seconds before the kid turned and signaled a timeout,” Cartmell said in a statement. “I had to make a decision whether it was five seconds or a timeout, and I made the decision it was five seconds because I had counted five seconds before he called timeout.”

Texas coach Rick Barnes only wished afterward that replays could have been used to determine if the correct call had been made.

Duke 73, Michigan 71 C H A R L O T T E , N . C . — Nolan Smith scored 24 points and Duke held off a late rally to beat Michigan and give coach Mike Krzyzewski his 900th career victory.

Kyle Singler added 1 3 points for the Blue Devils (32-4), who shot 51 percent, never trailed in the second half and advanced to the round of 16 for the 12th time in 14 years.

Darius Morris scored 16 points to lead the eighthseeded Wolverines (21-14), who trailed by 15 with 10:51 to play but clawed within one point twice in the final 90 seconds. They had one last chance after Smith missed a free throw with 8.7 seconds left.

Morris’ runner in the lane with 2 seconds left bounced off the back iron and Smith grabbed the rebound at the buzzer, sealing Duke’s trip to Anaheim for the West regional semifinals.

Kyrie Irving and Ryan Kelly scored 11 points apiece for the defending national champions, who won their eighth straight game in the NCAA Tournament.

KANSAS LEADERS

Halftime adjustment helps Kansas pull away from Illini

By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

TULSA , O KLA . — Kansas University’s offense was stagnant toward the end of the first half, and KU coach Bill Self told his players he believed he knew why.

At halftime of the Jayhawks’ 73-59 victory over Illinois on Sunday, Self told his guards that they needed to be tougher, as Illinois’ guards were pushing them toward midcourt — and out of their offense.

“No one’s going to say, ‘Hey, I thought that Kansas

played the ball screen great in the second half, and that’s why they won the game,’” KU senior guard Tyrel Reed said, “but, in essence, I thought we did a good job.”

Because KU’s guards were more physical in the second half — and came around ball screens shoulder-to-shoulder with their screen-setting teammates at the three-point line — the Jayhawks were able to get some easy baskets off the pick-and-roll.

A few times, KU guard Brady Morningstar wrapped around a ball

screen then dropped a bounce pass for either Marcus or Markieff Morris, who finished the play with a layup or slam.

The play works best when the KU guard comes around the ball screen, acts like he is attacking the rim to draw both defenders, then quickly drops off the pass to his unguarded teammate.

KU’s guards work on that particular bounce pass every day in practice.

“It’s the toughest thing to guard. It really is,” Reed said of the pick-and-roll. “If you’ve got a great point

guard that can make plays — and I think all of our guards can make plays — it’s tough to stop.”

It’s especially difficult to defend because of the versatility of the Morris twins.

Because the two juniors can drive and also hit three-pointers, opponents have to respect them on cuts to the basket and also when they pop out to the perimeter.

“They work it so well.

The brothers know each other — the actions and things like that,” Illinois center Mike Tisdale said.

“Their guards were giving them the ball in good spots.”

Reed said KU’s ballscreen defense also was improved against Illinois.

Not only were KU’s guards sticking to their men better on ball screens, the big men were doing a better job of hedging — or switching for a second before quickly recovering to get back to their original men.

“That’s what we practice every day,” Reed said.

“When we do it right, we’re a pretty good defensive team.”

TYREL REED, LEFT, AND MARKIEFF MORRIS (21) double up on Illinois’ Demetri McCamey.

Kansas CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

eight points in a 10-0 run that stretched a 56-51 lead with 6:33 left to an insurmountable 66-51 at 2:31.

The players were unanimous in their feelings about the matter.

“Coach always has our back in everything. We had to have his back tonight,” noted senior Brady Morningstar, who contributed five points with six assists against just one turnover.

Self, who downplayed his personal feelings about playing his former school before the game, admitted walking away from his postgame media interview session that this was a redletter day in his career.

“Yes, that was big for me,” Self acknowledged.

“It’s one of those games when the bracket comes out you say, ‘Geez,’ because I know it’d bring some talk back and forth. But eight years is a long time. It wasn’t like it’s been two or three years.

“It’s big for me personally in coming back home to Tulsa (where he coached at Oral Roberts and Tulsa) and playing the school I used to coach at where it was controversial when I left. This was big.”

Of course, by winning for Self, the Jayhawks did themselves and KU’s legion of fans a favor. The season continues Friday in San Antonio, where the Jayhawks will meet No. 12 seed Richmond at 6:27 p.m. in the Alamodome. The game will be shown on TBS. The winner will play either No. 11-seed VCU or No. 10-Florida State in the Elite Eight in a region full of upsets.

“We had a little celebration in here,” Marcus Morris said of the locker room.

“We finally got over the hump after losing to Northern Iowa (in second game) last year. Now it’s time to see if we can get two wins in our next weekend tournament.”

Self again was brutally honest when asked if he felt “relieved” the Jayhawks advanced after losing as a top seed so early last season.

“I’d be lying if I said no,” Self said. “You say all the time ‘attack mode’ and smile and have fun, but at the end of the day it was a big win for us. They’ve been reminded a long time of what happened last year.”

As far as the specifics of actually how KU advanced, the Jayhawks not only had the back-breaking 10-0 run late, but a 14-1 surge in the first half (Tyshawn Taylor had five points and Markieff Morris four) that turned KANSAS GUARD TYREL REED (14) GETS UP for a rebound against Illinois in the second half. KU beat the a 5-4 deficit into an 18-6 lead.

“The twins were awesome,” said Self, who felt conf ident at halftime despite the fact the Illini lagged by just four, 33-29.

“I told our guys it was the same score as the Boston game,” he added of a 72-53 first-round victory. “Even though they cut the lead from 12 to four, I still felt we had control of the game because it really hurt us when Tyshawn got his second foul (with KU up, 20-13 with 10:04 left in first half; Taylor sat out the rest of the half).

“I thought Elijah did a great job on Demetri in his absence,” he added of guard Demetri McCamey, who had just six points off 2-of-9 shooting, including one of five from three.

“Then in the second half we kind of got it going and Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo played through these two KANSAS FORWARD THOMAS ROBINSON (0) BATTLES INSIDE for a rebound with the guys,” he added of the Illinois defense during the first half. twins, who erupted for a combined 26 points the final half.

KU slows Illini leader ————

IU’s McCamey held to six points

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

KANSAS FORWARD MARKIEFF MORRIS, LEFT, WATCHES as teammate Tyshawn Taylor comes away with a steal from Illinois guard Demetri McCamey.

TULSA , O KLA . — Of all the players in college basketball and all the games shown on television this year from which he could choose, Kansas University guard Elijah Johnson probably watched more minutes played by Illinois’ senior Demetri McCamey than anyone.

Johnson’s familiarity with McCamey’s game paid off bigtime Sunday at the BOK Center, where KU knocked off Illinois, 73-59, and advanced to the Sweet 16.

Two nights after watching the rugged, 6-foot-3, 200pound guard torch UNLV for 17 points and seven assists on 7-of-13 shooting, Kansas held McCamey to six points on 2of-9 shooting in 36 minutes.

His final bucket came on a layup with 2:15 to play and Kansas leading 66-51.

“That was the key for us.

Definitely defensively,” said junior guard Tyshawn Taylor, who drew the defensive assignment from the jump.

“Cut the head off, and the rest of the body follows. He’s the key to their team, and that’s what we had to do.”

Early on, Taylor used length

and quickness to frustrate McCamey and keep him from being much of a factor. But two first-half fouls sent Taylor to the bench. That’s when Johnson got his shot to pick up where Taylor left off.

“Tyshawn did a great job on him to start, and then he got in foul trouble, and I told him, ‘Just because you’re in foul trouble ... he’s gotta deal with another problem,’” Johnson said.

That problem was Johnson, who hit McCamey with a dose of toughness that added to the toll Taylor’s quickness, length and athleticism already had taken.

Johnson first checked in with 14:19 remaining in the first half. He didn’t check out until the clock showed 1:50.

Even then, Johnson only sat for 40 seconds, checking back in at the 1:10 mark to finish the half.

“I watched him a whole lot this year, every chance I got,” Johnson said of McCamey. “I just watched him and learned.

He’s good. He can teach you just from watching him on TV. So when I heard that I was going to get a chance to play him, I was so psyched about it.

I was looking forward to it.”

Although Johnson and Tay-

lor were given the bulk of the credit for slowing down the Illini’s leading scorer, McCamey said the credit belonged elsewhere.

“I don’t think it was just two guys,” McCamey said. “Their whole team played great defense, and they collapsed on me every time I tried to get into the paint.”

The key, Johnson and Taylor said, was staying in front of McCamey and not allowing him to play games with them.

“He’s so crafty with the ball, and he can make some good fakes, so the key was just to stay down and be a solid defender,” Taylor said.

Added Johnson: “We didn’t want to let him get too comfortable. After a while, he wasn’t into it too much, and that’s when we had to turn it up even more.”

In reality, the two KU guards had the defensive dial cranked all the way to the right from the opening tip, something that did not go unnoticed.

“Hey, our guards were great,” KU coach Bill Self said.

“I believe when the other team’s best player (is) a point guard, you’ve got to do a great job on him. Those guys did a great job on him.”

KANSAS NOTEBOOK Big winner Tyrel Reed has passed Sherron Collins as winningest fouryear player in Kansas University history.

Reed has been part of 131 victories against 16 losses.

Collins went 130-19 from 2007 to 2010.

“Being a Kansas kid ... words can’t describe how proud I am.

Being the winningest player in Kansas history is a big honor,” Reed, a senior from Burlington, said after scoring six points off 1-of-7 shooting (1-for-5 from three) in Sunday’s 73-59 Round of 32 victory over Illinois.

KU coach Bill Self informed the team of the milestone in a happy locker room after the game.

“He said, ‘It’s a cool thing Tyrel had done,’’’ Reed said.

The NCAA record for most wins in a four year span is 133

by Duke’s Shane Battier from 1998-2001.

All the KU players felt like

a million bucks, even though they made $990,000 less than Woodland on Sunday.

“Winning a million dollars, jeez, I bet he’s feeling pretty good right now,” Reed said.

“Maybe there’s a correlation.

One Jayhawk does good, and the other ones follow.”

Self played a round with Woodland a few summers ago at Lawrence Country Club, and Woodland drove the green on the 359-yard first hole. Woodland, who played basketball at Washburn University as a freshman, made the 15-footer for an eagle, and Self spent the next 17 holes trailing him.

“This was a big day for KU,” Self said. “I heard he won it on the 18th hole.

Moved to No. 3 in the Fed Ex standings, if I’m not mistaken (Self wasn’t), and probably the top five in money (third with $1.85 million). Gary obviously is a great golfer, but what a great guy. And he’s a ballplayer.

That gives all of us guys who played ball hope that we can golf. I heard our softball team had a great day, and I heard our baseball team had a good day, so this was a good day for KU athletics.”

It certainly was, and three athletes who worked hard to turn their weaknesses into strengths had a big part in making it such a memorable one.

Self respect Self and Illinois coach Bruce Weber passed each other quickly in the handshake line, with Weber telling Self good luck the rest of the way.

Self seemed surprised when asked about the handshake in his postgame media session.

“We are not close by any means, but that didn’t have anything to do with anything,” Self said, adding that he respects Weber as a coach and the job he’s done at Illinois.

Not a shot!

Marcus Morris banged a pass off the backboard to his brother, Markieff, who couldn’t complete a highlight-reel dunk.

“I’m glad you guys noticed that wasn’t a shot. I would never take a bad shot like that,” Marcus said. “We kind of did it in practice when coach wasn’t looking, so we said we’d do it in

the game because they both bit on our fade screen perfectly. It just slipped off Kieff’s hand when he missed it.

“But I had to take the blame for it. I shoulda never done it, but I’ll do it again,” he added, laughing.

Self’s take: “That was one of those deals they’ve laid around talking and figured out that would be a highlight play. Marcus said it was a good pass, and Kieff just missed it. I thought it was a crap pass, and nobody could have caught it.

We’ll talk about that when moving forward. But those guys are pretty creative. They are great passers. But that wasn’t the time or place (with KU up 28-20 in first half) to try that one, I didn’t think.”

Big numbers KU will be heavily favored to advance to the Final Four. The top-seeded Jayhawks will meet No. 12 Richmond at 6:27 p.m.

Friday in San Antonio, then if victorious meet either No. 10seed Florida State or No. 11 VCU on Sunday.

“Ten, 11 and 12 are left, but it’s not seeds, it’s matchups,” Self said.

“All the teams left in this tournament are good teams,” Brady Morningstar noted.

San Antonio is where KU won the 2008 national title.

“We’ll try to make new memories,” Self said.

Hinson loves Tulsa Kansas University director of basketball operations Barry Hinson had a great time rekindling some old friendships over the weekend in Tulsa.

Hinson worked four years as an assistant coach and two as head coach at Oral Roberts (1993-99) after working six years as head coach at Tulsa Bishop Kelley High School.

“Somebody asked me today, did I have family that lives here.

I said, ‘Yeah, about 6,000,’’’ Hinson said. “No relatives but a lot of friends. I came down a day early to do the pre-stuff before we travel and got to see a lot of friends.

“My wife and I considered this may be the place we retire,” Hinson added. “Tulsa has literally everything you’d want. We raised our kids here.

We’d love the opportunity to come back.”

The best thing about Tulsa?

“No question, it’s the people.

No matter where you go in Tulsa, somebody will say hi, help you out,” Hinson said. “It’s one of the friendliest places there is, a big city with a small town atmosphere.”

Hinson pinpointed the biggest wins he’d been involved with in Tulsa prior to last weekend’s NCAA games.

“That would have been with coach (Self). We beat Arkansas at ORU,” Hinson said. “The biggest win is what got me into college coaching. My team at Bishop Kelley beat Oklahoma City Star Spencer when they were No. 1 in the country. We were the underdog. We beat the big dog that day.”

Recruiting Stan Simpson, a 6-foot-10, 235-pound forward from Logan Junior College in Chicago, tweeted that KU has offered him a scholarship for next season. Simpson spent two years at the University of Illinois, one year as a red-shirt before transferring to Logan. He averaged about 14 points and 10 rebounds per game for Logan.

Kentucky is reportedly his leader, with Memphis, UConn, KU, DePaul, Cincinnati, Tennessee and others hot on his trail. Simpson attended Chicago’s Simeon High.

EAST REGIONAL

BOX SCORES

Marquette upsets Syracuse The Associated Press

Marquette 66, Syracuse 62 CLEVELAND — Oh, is there ever a Buzz in the NCAA Tournament.

Brent Williams is better known as Buzz — Coach Buzz if you play for Marquette — and his postgame celebrations have become the stuff of legend. Sunday, he might have had his wildest yet.

His bald head glistening with sweat, he leaped in the air, pounded his f ists on tables, shared tears and hugs with his family. He saluted the fans, slapped hands with band members and anyone he could touch wearing the Golden Eagles’ gold and blue.

Williams is off to the Round of 16 — and he wanted to bring the party with him.

Darius Johnson-Odom sparked the celebration by hitting a tiebreaking threepointer with 27 seconds left that sent Marquette to a victory over Big East rival Syracuse, putting the Golden Eagles in the NCAA Tournament’s Round of 16 for the first time in eight years.

“Luckily, I knocked the shot down,” Johnson-Odom said.

Luck didn’t set up the winner as much as the last sloppy pass in a turnover-marred game by Syracuse.

With 51 seconds left, Dion Waiters threw his sideline inbounds pass too high and close to the midcourt line.

Scoop Jardine tiptoed over the line on his jump to snag the ball for a backcourt violation.

“I thought I had him, and I was just trying to throw the pass where I thought he could catch it,” Waiters said. “I don’t know what happened.”

Johnson-Odom delivered the shot of his career for a 6259 lead, and 11th-seeded Marquette is moving on to the Round of 16 for the first time since Dwyane Wade led it to the Final Four in 2003.

The Golden Eagles will play No. 2 seed North Carolina (28-7) in the East Regional semifinals Friday in Newark, N.J. Marquette, known then as the Warriors, beat North Carolina to win the national championship in 1977.

At Marquette, there’s always a link to the ’77 team and its treasured coach, Al McGuire. Where most teams have a logo or a letter on the jersey, Marquette has “AL” at the neck.

This was the second straight early exit for thirdseeded Syracuse (27-8). The Orange were a No. 1 seed last year and lost in the round of 16 to Butler.

“I thought it was just a great game,” Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim said.

North Carolina 86, Washington 83 C H A R L O T T E , N . C . — Tyler Zeller scored 23 points, Harrison Barnes added 22, and North Carolina survived a frantic finish to beat Washington and advance to the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament for a record 24th time.

Rallying from deficits of 11 points in the first half and five in the second, the secondseeded Tar Heels (28-7) went ahead for good on Barnes’ three-pointer with 4:06 left.

But they needed two free throws from Dexter Strickland and a defensive stop in the closing seconds to advance.

Terrence Ross scored 19 points for the seventh-seeded Huskies (24-11), who overcame a hostile crowd to nearly pull the upset in a fastpaced game full of entertaining plays and mental miscues down the stretch.

Ohio State 98, George Mason 66 CLEVELAND — David Lighty made all seven of his threepointers and scored 25 points, Jared Sullinger added 18 after informing one of George Mason’s players “it’s over,” and top-seeded Ohio State made 16 threes to advance in the NCAA Tournament with a jaw-dropping rout.

With thousands of fans chanting “O-H-I-O” at every opportunity, the Buckeyes (34-2) took apart the eighthseeded Patriots (27-7), who created some March mayhem a few years ago and hoped to follow Butler’s lead by taking out a No. 1 seed in this tourney.

Ohio State destroyed any upset plans and moved closer to its first national title since 1960. The Buckeyes will meet Kentucky (27-8) in the East regional semifinals Friday in Newark. Ohio State is 5-0 in NCAA tournament matchups with the Wildcats.

After falling behind 11-2, the Big Ten champions used their devastating inside-outside attack to post the most lopsided tournament victory in school history.

Cam Long scored 16 points to lead George Mason, which played without Luke Hancock, one of its best players.

The sophomore guard had food poisoning and remained with a trainer at the team’s hotel.

BAYLOR GUARD KIMETRIA HAYDEN (1) GOES UP FOR A SHOT past Prairie View A&M guard Latia Williams in a first-round game of the women’s NCAA Tournament on Sunday in Waco, Texas. Hayden had 12 points in the Bears’ 66-30 rout.

BIG 12 WOMEN IN NCAA TOURNAMENT

‘Cats lose opening round The Associated Press

Baylor 66, Prairie View 30 W A C O , T E X A S — Brittney Griner and Brooklyn Pope each had 17 points as topseeded Baylor opened the NCAA Tournament with a victory Sunday night over Prairie View, whose miserable shooting translated into the lowest-scoring half ever in the tournament.

The Lady Bears (32-2) raced out to a 16-0 lead at home while Prairie View (2112) missed its first 12 shots before finally getting a layup from Waco native Robin Jones more than 9 minutes into the game.

Baylor, which went to the Final Four last season when the 6-foot-8 Griner was a freshman, led 34-8 at halftime.

That was the fewest points in a half ever by a women’s team in an NCAA Tournament game.

Griner also had eight rebounds and six blocks in her team-high 28 minutes.

Dawn Evans, the nation’s No. 3 scorer with a 23.2 average, led the Dukes with 20 points, but hit just 7-of-27 shots. James Madison (26-8) fell short in its bid for its first NCAA Tournament victory since the 1991 team beat topranked Penn State in the second round in State College, Pa.

Kelsey Assarian and Tyra White each added 12 points for second-seeded Texas A&M (28-5), which raced to a 22-3 lead and led by 39 when Adams scored inside while being fouled five minutes into the second half. The victory moved Texas A&M into the second round at the Shreveport site and marked the fifth straight year the Aggies have gotten through the f irst round.

JAPAN

Sister city largely spared from disaster

By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

A week after the devastating earthquakes and tsunamis in Japan, a representative from Lawrence’s sister city of Hiratsuka, Japan, sent updates about how the city is doing following the disaster.

Though Hiratsuka sustained minor damage compared with other areas of the country, access to food and electricity remains problematic, said Yoshimi Tomita, president of Friends of Lawrence in Hiratsuka.

Tomita wrote about planned power outages and

shortages of basic goods in an email to the Journal-World on Saturday. But conditions should return to normal shortly, Tomita said, and Hiratsuka has been able to send emergency workers and supplies to more affected areas.

Lawrence Mayor Mike

Amyx asked Lawrence residents to offer assistance to Japan.

Welcome to Kansas University’s etiquette dinner, a popular event with students that occurs once every semester.

KU brings in members of the local business community to dine with students at the Adams Alumni Center so the students can learn some of the basic rules of etiquette and professionalism.

As the weather warms and gas prices soar, people begin trading four wheels for two to help save on fuel costs.

While spring is always busy for Cycle Works, 2121 Kasold Drive, the store was really hopping in the summer of 2008 when gas prices spiked to nearly $4, owner Gary Long said. He saw recordbreaking sales monthly.

“And not just by a little bit,” Long said. “It was 45 percent.”

If you are looking to save money, getting on a bike isn’t always as simple or as inexpensive as you think. You have to find the bike that best suits your needs and then all of the gear that goes with it.

To help figure out just how much to spend and how far you have to ride to make the investment pay off, we’ve provided this bicycle-friendly guide.

To get you started Regardless of how fancy the bike, all cyclists should be equipped with basic gear to keep them safe.

Helmets: $25 to $35 Matt Farnsworth, manager at the Re-Cyclery, 731 N.H., said that helmets are a lot more comfortable and less expensive than what they used to be. And, everyone wears one nowadays, leaving no excuse

‘Boomeroos’ turn dogs into Wildcats, Jayhawks

By Sara Shepherd sshepherd@theworldco.info

SHAWNEE — A few years retired from her job as an elementary school principal, Barbara McPherson was working part time for Baker University, supervising teachers who were training to become administrators.

She was looking for

something else to add to her schedule, but she didn’t want to sacrifice her flexible hours or spend a lot of cash on overhead for a business venture. About a year ago, McPherson’s epiphany came while walking her shih tzu, Boomer, down her west Shawnee street.

“All of the sudden it

just hit me,” she said. “I told my neighbor next door, ‘I’m going to make KU and K-State doggie jackets, and I’m going to call it Boomeroos!’”

Now, in time for NCAA March Madness, McPherson’s homegrown business is up and running. She sells her made-to-order, customfit fuzzy fleece doggy

for why you shouldn’t. In fact, if you are under 18, wearing a helmet is the law.

Lights: $15 to $20 Another biking law is to have lights on at night. Bikes should have a headlight in front and a red reflector in the rear. Dan Hughes with Su n f l owe r O utd o o r a n d Bike Shop, 802 Mass., recommends using red blinking lights in the back to more easily get the attention of the drivers behind you.

Even for cyclists who think they will never bike at night, Farnsworth said it’s something that should be put on just in case.

Water bottle: $5 cage and $4 to $10 for a bottle Having some form of hydration for the bike ride is a good idea, especially if you plan on biking during the hot, humid summer.

Locks: $15 to $25 If you plan to leave your bike in public places, a lock wouldn’t be a bad idea. Bicycle theft is a pretty common crime in Lawrence.

The ride

$100 to $250 You won’t find any new bikes at Lawrence cycling shops in this price range (although you will at large national retailers). The best bet is looking for used bikes.

At the Re-Cyclery, used bikes start around $125 to $150. Last week, the ReCyclery had a 1994 red Takara cruiser on sale for $125 and a 90s model Giant Option for $225.

To find anything cheaper, check out Craigslist. Last week, a quick scan on the website showed a number of bikes for sale in the $50 price range. If you buy a used bike online, Farnsworth advises

Boomeroos CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

McPherson hit several obstacles before transitioning Boomeroos from vision to reality.

For starters, she couldn’t sew.

Enter Lenexa’s Missouri Sewing Machine Co., where McPherson bought her sewing machine and an embroidery machine, and got some basic instructions.

On a recent afternoon, Boomer was milling around McPherson’s feet as she pulled some of her f irst attempts from a bag of rejected Boomeroos. Boomer — who is supposed to be a diehard K-State fan like his owner — promptly curled up on a rough-edged, mismatched KU fleece she tossed on the floor.

Fortunately, McPherson also met Missouri Sewing

buyers to make sure to find a bike that fits.

After buying the bike, it would be a good idea to get it checked out by a local bike shop. A simple tuneup costs $35 at the Re-Cyclery. For bikes that need new tire tubes, brakes and cables, the cost will be more like $60. $300 to $400 For less than $300, Long doesn’t think you can buy a quality new bike. At Cycle Works, Long suggests starting off with the versatile Giant Boulder, which is priced at $309. He also has a comfortable city cruiser bike priced at $379. Over at Sunflower, mountain bikes start at $320. $400 to $500 For cyclists who are mostly interested in commuting, Hughes recommends a road hybrid bike. Road hybrids have thicker tires than road bikes but taller wheels than mountain bikes. At Sunflower, road hybrids start at $429.

The bells and whistles We didn’t check on the price of whistles, but at Sunflower, bells start at $5. But that’s not all the gear and gadgets you can buy that will make your ride more comfortable and fun.

Baskets: $20 to $40 At Re-Cyclery, you can also buy used baskets and racks for $5 to $10.

Panniers: $30 to $40; pannier rack: $25 to $30 Panniers are great for carrying groceries, clothes or work supplies. They can be slung over a rank in the back of your bike.

Fenders: $30 Fenders prevent mud and water from splashing up off the back tire. This will prevent a strip of brown from forming on the middle of your back when roads are wet.

Flat tire supplies: $14 The cold, hard truth of

Machine Co. store manager Bethany Howe, an avid seamstress and dog lover who wanted some sewing project to take home after hours.

Howe and her daughter now work for McPherson sewing Boomeroos.

“I’ve been sewing since I was 12,” Howe said. “So I helped her with her product development, but she had all the ideas and jumped through all the hoops.”

Getting collegiate licensing for all those schools was one of McPherson’s biggest hoops.

Her first approval took a nearly 40-page application and four months of waiting.

She’s now licensed for KU, KState and Iowa State, with Mizzou in the works.

In the meantime, she’s working on challenges, including how to make premade jackets fit better, for those dog owners who want to buy one off the rack instead of sending in their dog’s

cycling is that one day you will get a flat tire. To keep from pushing your bike home, here are some supplies you should bring along: levers to remove tire ($3), new tire tubes ($5), patch kit ($3), air canisters to fill tire ($3).

The payoff The real question is how far would you have to ride before your investment pays off. To do the math, we looked at the fuel efficiency for the average car (25 miles per gallon) and the current cost of fuel in Lawrence ($3.39).

Here’s what we found:

$150 In this price range, you could snag a bike off of Craigslist, get a tune up and all the basic start-up gear.

Before your investment paid off, you would have to pedal 1,106 miles. $400 For about $400, you could buy the lowest-priced brand new bike at Sunflower or Cycle Works and still be able to afford all the basic start-up gear. However, you won’t start saving money until you have ridden almost 3,000 miles. $600 For around $600, you could purchase the road hybrid bike, the basic safety gear, a basket or pannier and rack, flat tire kit and fenders. In just 4,425 miles, you will have biked enough to pay off the cost.

It should be noted that many would claim the biggest benefits of biking aren’t the economic ones. Biking provides exercise, cuts down on traffic congestion and carbon monoxide emissions, and saves on the wear and tear of the vehicle.

Oh, and did I mention cyclists usually get rock star parking?

“We’re constantly in design mode,” she said.

McPherson spent 12 years as principal of Stony Point North Elementary School in Kansas City, Kan. Too busy for a pet then, she got Boomer in 2009, several years after she retired. He had spent his entire 4-year life in a puppy mill.

McPherson said he was extremely shy, not potty trained, didn’t know what treats were, didn’t respond to being called by a name and didn’t know how to go up or down stairs. It took a lot of TLC, McPherson said, but Boomer now lives like a normal house dog.

Plus, she said, he and her other dog, Remmy, make excellent models for Boomeroos.

NAME CARDS were at each seat at a KU etiquette dinner, among various cutlery, plates and glassware. his company is also looking to network with potential candidates for jobs in the future.

Gina Gerstner, a KU senior from Frankfort, said she definitely picked up some good etiquette tips: how to eat bread, which way to pass the sugar and how to sit down properly.

The business representatives also offered interviewing and networking tips, both at a question-and-answer session before dinner, and during dinner conversations.

“It was really great to network with a lot of businesses that were here and to hear about people who are doing jobs in the industry that I’m going to be doing,” said Gerstner, who is majoring in journalism. “I heard a lot of great tips for the interview process and job hunting in general.”

Wolfram said the program’s popularity — about 65 students showed up for the event — can be partly attributed to the difficult economy that students find themselves entering.

“I think that nowadays, especially with the economy, you really need to be at the top of your game when you’re going out to look for an internship or a full-time job,” Wolfram said. “So the more you can do to prepare to make yourself be professional, the better.”

TABLE ETIQUETTE 101 A few etiquette tips courtesy of Erin Wolfram, assistant director of the KU Career Center and a professional etiquette consultant. ● Your mom’s probably already told you not to put your elbows on the table. She was right, Wolfram said. Here’s why: When you put your elbows on the table, it hinders your space, she said.

The wait staff can’t bring a new course to you if your elbows are in the way, she said. Or, if you’re finished, they can’t easily access your plate to take it away. ● The napkin. Grab it, and unfold it to your right, and fold it in half. Put it on your lap, with the crease toward your stomach. ● Even sitting down has a proper procedure. First, stand behind the chair, and take a step to the right. And as you step to the right, pull your chair back. Then, stand in front of your chair, and as you sit down, pull the chair in.

And Wolfram is the person who knows all the rules. She’s employed by KU’s Career Center and has been certified as a professional etiquette consultant.

“I think that what I try to do is to be quite general in the training that I teach, to give them some basic tips that allow them to get through a situation without getting noticed in a negative way,” she said.

In addition to the once-asemester events, Wolfram will spend some of her time going to classes and speaking at other events, too.

“We were seeing a lot of need for etiquette in the workplace or professional interview settings,” she said.

As she walks around the room in the Adams Alumni Center, students interrupt their dinners to stop Wolfram to ask their own questions, too.

Is it OK to sop up a tasty sauce or dressing with bread?

Yes, Wolfram said. But you should be sure to poke the bread with your fork, swirl it around a bit, and then eat it with your fork.

Dan Napralla is vice president of consumer goods at Huhtamaki, a De Soto packaging and disposable products manufacturing company.

He was one of the business leaders who attended this dinner.

He said he applauded the students who came not just for the etiquette tips, but also for the opportunity to network with representatives from local businesses.

“I think that etiquette in general is not what it should be,” Napralla said. “By the same token, I don’t think we should be so highly structured that we’re worried about some of the details.”

He also said he was impressed to see freshmen and sophomores among the students who came to this event, joining the usual complement of seniors.

“I applaud them for taking the initiative to start up a network early,” he said.

And selfishly, he admitted,

This should ensure you avoid hitting the table, knocking your drink over or other various calamities. ● One of the tough ones for students to pick up, Wolfram said, is placing silverware in “resting” and “finishing” position.

Finishing position lets the wait staff know you’re done with the meal so they can pick up that plate.

For resting position put your knife horizontally across the top of the plate with the pointy part of the knife toward the left.

The fork should rest at 4 o’clock on your plate, placed diagonally with tines up.

This lets the wait staff know you’re not finished yet.

When you are actually done, flip the tines of the fork over, and drop the knife parallel to the fork.

Luckily, the students at the dinner had three courses to practice all that.

AT&T to buy T-Mobile USA for $39B AT&T Inc. said Sunday it will buy T-Mobile USA from Deutsche Telekom AG in a cash-and-stock deal valued at $39 billion that would make it the largest cellphone company in the U.S. The deal would reduce the number of wireless carriers with national coverage from four to three, and is sure to face close regulatory scrutiny. It also removes a potential partner for Sprint Nextel Corp., the struggling No. 3 carrier, which had been in talks to combine with T-Mobile USA, according to Wall Street Journal reports.

AT&T is now the country’s second-largest wireless carrier and T-Mobile USA is the fourth largest. The acquisition would give AT&T 129 million subscribers, vaulting it past Verizon Wireless to make it the largest U.S. cellphone company.

For T-Mobile USA’s 33.7 million subscribers, the news doesn’t immediately change anything. Because of the long regulatory process, AT&T expects the acquisition to take a year to close. But when and if it closes, T-Mobile USA customers would get access to AT&T’s phone line-up, including the iPhone.

Tribe abandons weakened president The U.S.-backed president of Yemen suffered a devastating political blow on Sunday when his own powerful tribe demanded his resignation, joining religious leaders, young people and the country’s traditional opposition in calls for an end to his three decades in power.

Massive crowds flooded cities and towns around the impoverished and volatile nation, screaming in grief and anger as they mourned dozens of protesters killed Friday when President Ali Abdullah Saleh’s security forces opened fire from rooftops on a demonstration in the capital.

Saleh appeared to be trying to hold on, firing his entire Cabinet ahead of what one government official said was a planned mass resignation, but making no mention of stepping down himself. Yemen’s ambassador to the United Nations and its human rights minister had announced their resignations earlier in the day.

2 Bush officials in running for FBI head Two officials who worked for President George W. Bush, including one who threatened to resign to block legally questionable anti-terror surveillance, have a realistic chance of being asked to head the FBI, according to people familiar with the search.

James Comey and Kenneth Wainstein served in sensitive national security-related posts at the Justice Department in the Bush administration. That could make for interesting confirmation hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee if President Barack Obama selects either to succeed FBI Director Robert Mueller. His 10-year, nonrenewable term expires Sept. 4.

Their service as political appointees under a Republican president is a key factor in explaining the rise of Comey and Wainstein in the search. The Obama administration faces an expanded Republican minority in the Senate with the votes to seriously complicate the confirmation prospects of any nominee who draws their united opposition.

The proposal hammered out by the Senate Ways and Means Committee closes a $500 million revenue shortfall for the fiscal year that starts July 1.

The biggest hit is to public schools, which will see a cut of approximately 5.6 percent, or $226 per student in base state aid.

Senate President Steve Morris, RHugoton, said combined with earlier cuts to schools, education has sustained heavy cuts over the past couple of years.

State A.G. defends death penalty law

By Roxana Hegeman Associated Press Writer

WICHITA — Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt’s office is defending the constitutionality of the state’s death penalty law from a challenge raised in the case against the Great Bend man accused of killing a teenager whose charred body was found at an asphalt plant.

In preparation for a hearing Tuesday in Great Bend, state prosecutors filed their written responses late Friday afternoon to the death penalty challenge and other motions the defense had mostly filed in January. The move came after questions were raised as to why no written responses to the defense

Haitians scarred by decades of poverty, political corruption and natural disasters cast ballots Sunday for president in hopes a new leader could do what others have not: Replace homes and schools in the earthquake-devastated capital, improve education and create some optimism for the future.

Voters chose between Michel “Sweet Micky” Martelly, a popular musician who has never held public office, and Mirlande Manigat, a former first lady and senator and longtime fixture on the political scene. Voters formed what for the most part were orderly lines, some shrugging off delays of three hours. Preliminary results are expected March 31.

Whoever wins will face enormous challenges in a country emerging from last year’s earthquake, which the government estimates killed more than 300,000 people. A multibillion-dollar reconstruction effort has stalled, and some 800,000 people still live in the camps that emerged around Port-auPrince after the quake. Compounding the misery is a cholera outbreak that has killed more than 4,700

motions had yet been made despite Barton County Judge Hannelore Kitt’s standing order requiring the state to do so in the death penalty case against Adam Joseph Longoria.

“I think we are in compliance,” Deputy Attorney General Victor Braden said after the filings. “We are ready for Tuesday and we will see how it goes.”

Longoria faces capital murder and criminal sodomy charges in the August killing of 14-year-old Alicia DeBolt.

The attorneys with the Kansas Death Penalty Defense Unit who represent Longoria, Jeffrey Wicks and Tim Frieden, did not return a message left at their office Friday seeking comment.

Death penalty prosecutions are handled in two phases. First is the trial to determine whether a suspect is guilty. If convicted, the next step is a penalty phase to determine whether the crime warrants the death sentence. In the second phase, jurors consider aggravating factors such as whether a killing was especially heinous and mitigating factors such as whether a defendant lacked a previous significant criminal record.

Longoria’s defense has argued the death penalty in the state is unconstitutional because socalled relaxed evidentiary standards allow the government too much leeway in the type of evidence it can present for aggravating factors. The defense also

separately challenged the law on the basis that death penalty verdicts are ambiguous and unreliable since they do not require the jury to disclose the considerations that motivated the death sentence and what weight jurors gave to any mitigating evidence.

Defense attorneys also noted the death penalty has been upheld by the Kansas Supreme Court and acknowledged they were filing the request to preserve the issue for future appeals.

The state’s responses were faxed to Great Bend so late on Friday that they were not available on the court’s website.

Bill targets Facebook users in prison The proliferation of cell phones smuggled into prisons has some inmates routinely updating their status from the inside, and South Carolina is considering becoming the first state to make that a crime.

The measure would add 30 days to a prisoner’s sentence if he is caught interacting on social networking sites via cell phone. The bill goes a step further, too, making it illegal for anyone to set up a page for a prisoner, which legal experts say violates inmates’ free speech rights even if they are using contraband cell phones.

Rep. Wendell Gilliard, a Democrat from Charleston who proposed the law, says crime victims shouldn’t have to worry about seeing or being threatened by a prisoner online. There’s also a fear convicts are coordinating criminal activity.

SALINA — Norm and Jen Jennings have announced plans to sell the Smoky Hill Vineyard and Winery they own and operate north of Salina and embark on a ministerial career.

“Our hope is that we find an individual or entity that wants to run the winery as Smoky Hill Winery and just carry it directly forward as it is today,” said Norm Jennings.

He said the decision has nothing to do with the recession or the business.

“It is very successful,” he said.

The couple notified the winery staff of the decision recently and began notifying the public, he said.

Norm’s father, Steve, founded

the winery in 1991 with a business partner, Kay Bloom, after the two men retired. Steve Jennings died in 2005.

The winery, which covers 40 acres and includes 10 acres of grape vines, has been managed

by Norm Jennings and his wife since his father’s death. The winery is located at 212 W. Golf Link, just north of Salina.

The Jenningses hope to sell the winery intact. Norm Jennings says they are confident, given the reputation and popularity of the Smoky Hill brand, that there will be interested buyers. Plans are to begin looking for a buyer soon.

It’s a big career move for JenJohn Young/Journal-World Photo nings, who also serves as a Salina city commissioner, but not his WARM TEMPERATURES AND MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES brought many people out on the first day of spring, including this windsurfer at Please see WINERY, page 5B Clinton Lake.

THE MOON SETS BEHIND CLOUDS and a farmhouse near Rose Hill, southeast of Wichita, on Sunday morning. The perigean moon was at its closest point to Earth since March 1993. Clouds in northeast Kansas obscured the view Saturday night.

Newton flour mill rises to 21st century standard N E W T O N ( A P ) — After months of enduring detours, demolition and construction, residents of Newton have had a chance to see what the work was all about — the upgrade of the central Kansas town’s old flour mill into a state-ofthe art operation.

Horizon Milling held an open house last week to show off the new packing and shipping facility, complete with robotic arms that do the loading and lifting of sacks of flour.

Bought in 1974 by Cargill, majority owner of multistate Horizon Milling, the Newton plant — parts of which were built in 1918 — grinds 850,000 pounds of flour a daily, mostly from regionally grown hard red winter wheat, The Wichita Eagle reported.

For years, much of the Newton-milled flour was shipped to Horizon’s Topeka mill to be bagged for sales in grocery stores. But the Topeka plant was even more antiquated,

and Cargill announced last year it was closing the 128year-old mill in the capital in favor of expanding the Newton mill to include a bagging and shipping operation.

Newton offered tax incentives and gained 30 jobs, doubling the mill’s work force.

Flour milled in the older building on one side of Broadway near downtown is now piped across the street to giant bins on an upper floor in the new building.

The flour flows down to machines that pour it into 2-, 5-, 10- and 25-pound bags.

Three robotic arms lift and load the sacks onto scores of pallets, each bearing thousands of bags that are combined and sorted for shipping by rail or truck.

Horizon officials said the new shipping operation is so productive it can process more than the Newton mill produces and might, one day, pack bulk flour from elsewhere.

Topeka Zoo recovers accreditation Winery TOPEKA (AP) — The Topeka Zoo’s accreditation has been restored to full status after several issues caused it to nearly lose the stamp of approval from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums a year ago.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reported that the association announced its decision Sunday.

“It’s great news,” Topeka Zoo director Brendan Wiley said. “It lets us know we are on the right track or path with our choices.”

Wiley became director of the zoo after the U.S. Department of Agriculture criticized it for numerous animal deaths, its professional accreditation was tabled last March and most of its management left or were fired. A loss of accreditation would have bruised the zoo’s reputa-

tion and prevented it from sharing animals with other facilities that are part of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums.

A team from the accrediting organization conducted a status check on Jan. 17. Then on Sunday, Wiley and three other representatives from the Topeka Zoo meet with 12 members of the accreditation commission during the organization’s annual midyear meeting in Chattanooga, Tenn. The zoo team discussed the progress that has been made, including that the Topeka City Council passed a council resolution that would allow the Friends of the Zoo to fund improvements to the outdoor hippo exhibit, as well as passed two ordinances to help with the zoo’s perimeter fence and necropsy room.

After the 20 minute update and 10 minutes for deliberation, the commission returned with a response.

“The first words were congratulations,” Wiley said.

“Then they shared their optimism.”

Staff will submit a prog ress report to the accreditation commission in six months.

“We are elated,” Wiley said. “We know that this isn’t the end of the story and that we still have a lot of work in front of us but having the affirmation and support of your accrediting agency behind you is priceless.”

City manager Norton Bonaparte said the news was “wonderful.”

“It shows we are returning to a world-class zoo,” he said.

the schedule once. That’s not how I am. Whatever game I’m assigned, that’s what I take.”

It’s that attitude that has helped LaPoint be successful.

He demands control of the environments surrounding the games he works. He keeps the coaches, crowds and players under control.

“He’s one of the more professional and classy of the referees,” Lawrence High boys soccer coach Mike Murphy said. “If there are ever any questionable calls, Jim is one who’s made the fewest.”

Tough but fair LaPoint credits his success to the way he approaches the game, which is the same way he approaches teaching: tough but fair. During the years, refereeing has become a labor of love for LaPoint. He watches European games on TV and finds he pays more

— Kaw Valley Soccer Association Executive Director Marcus Dudley attention to the positioning of the officials than the players themselves. His passion for soccer is one reason he says he’ll continue to referee even after he retires from KU at the end of the year. The money he makes from games is an added bonus.

“It’s nice to have a little slush fund,” he said. “To have a few extra dollars, have some spending money.”

Though LaPoint has been recognized as one of the best, he’s the first to admit he doesn’t get every call right. He’s also not afraid to let coaches and players know when he makes a mistake. Kaw Valley Soccer Association Executive Director Marcus Dudley has seen the effect of LaPoint’s methods.

“He’s known to be very much a purist, one of those

refs that’s strict and controls the game to a ‘T’,” Dudley said.

“He’s very well-respected.”

And LaPoint has earned that respect during his years on the field. A common question asked by those who know him is, “How do you do that?”

The question is mostly in regard to how LaPoint manages to stay in good enough shape to keep up with high school athletes.

“I value fitness,” LaPoint said simply.

People who know LaPoint agree he doesn’t look his age.

He hopes his fitness will allow him to continue officiating for years to come.

“I don’t know that he’ll ever really retire,” Dudley said.

“It’s just not him.”

‘RINOs’ buttons in crosshairs

No sales tax on guided, nonguided hunt fees

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3B

A dozen or so people were at the Statehouse on Friday showing support for a proposed constitutional amendment that supporters say would block the federal health care reform law in Kansas.

The people were wearing buttons that had a picture of a rhinoceros in crosshairs.

Sometimes moderate or liberal Republicans are called RINOs, or Republicans In Name Only, by their critics.

The use of crosshairs in signs has been criticized recently after the shooting of U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz.

House Democratic Leader Paul Davis of Lawrence said the buttons were “disgraceful.”

The Kansas Department of Revenue has determined that hunting guides and nonguided hunt fees are not subject to state sales tax.

“Governor Sam Brownback is promoting our state’s world-class outdoor tourism opportunities, and this will keep these activities more affordable,” said Kansas Revenue Secretary Nick Jordan.

Sen. Carolyn McGinn, RSedgwick, has filed a bill on abolishing the death penalty.

She said that she doubted there would be a hearing on it this year but that the legislation needs to be considered eventually.

McGinn has been an opponent of the death penalty, favoring instead a life-withoutparole sentence. Funds currently spent on expensive death penalty appeals, she said, could be better directed toward crime prevention programs.

Braden declined to email the documents, citing a previous court order that had set up the website for public access.

Ron Keefover, chief information officer with the Office of Judicial Administration, told the AP that statutorily in Kansas written responses are due within five days of a motion’s filing, although parties are not required to file responses. Keefover, the media liaison for the Great Bend case, acknowledged that in the Longoria case the judge specifically ordered prosecutors to file written responses to all defense motions.

Braden disputed that there was any such f ive-day response requirement, insisting he could have hand-carried his written motions to court on Tuesday had he wanted to do so.

first. He worked as an engineer for 12 years in cities across the country before moving back to Salina, his hometown, and joining his father’s wine business.

Running the winery’s dining operation, “marketing and management were my areas, and wine-making and the vineyard were definitely Dad’s passions,” Jennings said.

Under the management of Norm and Jen Jennings, the winery completed an expansion project that enabled it to double production, as well as give it a bigger dining, reception and gift boutique area.

The couple say they’re moving ahead with plans to form a lay ministry, counseling engaged and married couples and children of divorce.

It’s a religious calling the couple have been considering and praying about for about a year and a half, Norm Jennings said. He said the couple’s plans are to remain in Salina.

“The unknown is a fear, and it does exist. It kind of weighs against the call we feel the Lord has put on our shoulders,” he said. “We don’t know exactly where this is going to take us.”

He said he and his wife haven’t made a choice about how to list the business for sale, or whether to go with a national brokerage company specializing in wineries. He said wineries used to be difficult to sell, but today, existing wineries with good, established brands are stable and command good prices.

Jennings said it used to be that someone buying a winery had better have experience making wine. Now winery owners can focus on operations and managing

against Longoria was filed by former Attorney General Steve Six, who personally prosecuted it until losing his election bid. He was assisted in the case by Deputy Attorney General Barry Disney, who also left the state attorney general’s office during the transition.

Six has since been nominated by President Barack Obama for a seat on the U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals, and Disney has accepted a job with the U.S. attorney’s office.

Court filings show that when Six was handling the case prosecutors responded in writing within days to defense motions.

Barton County Attorney Doug Matthews said in an email that he has “every confidence” in Braden as well the new attorney general and his staff to handle the prosecution.

“I’ve attended several meeting with Mr. Braden and the other AG staff who are working on the prosecution of the case, and have been greatly impressed with the

time and energy they’ve committed,” Matthews said.

Both Six and Schmidt said during their election campaigns last year that they supported the death penalty.

But the election upset left the attorney general’s office scrambling to replace the prosecutors who filed the charges.

Braden took over prosecution of the case in late December during the transition. Assistant Attorney General Andrew Bauch entered his appearance in it last week.

Unlike his predecessor, Schmidt is not personally prosecuting the Longoria case.

“Attorney General Schmidt decided to appoint the head of the criminal division, Vic Braden, a career prosecutor, to lead the case,” said Jeff Wagaman, spokesman for the Kansas attorney general’s office. “Vic has extensive experience prosecuting homicide cases, and he led the prosecution team in the last death penalty verdict case in Kansas.”

JAPAN

Disaster death toll more than 18,000

By Eric Talmadge and Mari Yamaguchi Associated Press Writers

FUKUSHIMA, JAPAN — The toll of Japan’s triple disaster came into clearer focus today after police estimates showed more than 18,000 people died, the World Bank said rebuilding may cost $235 billion and more cases of radiation-tainted vegetables and tap water turned up.

Japanese officials reported progress over the weekend in their battle to gain control over a nuclear complex that began leaking radiation after suffering quake and tsunami damage, though the crisis was far from over, with a dangerous new surge in pressure reported in one of the plant’s six reactors.

The announcement by Japan’s Health Ministry late Sunday that tests had detected excess amounts of radioactive elements on canola and chrysanthemum greens marked a low moment in a day that had been peppered with bits of positive news: First, a teenager and his grandmother were found alive nine days after being trapped in their earthquake-shattered home.

Then, the operator We consider of the that now we overheathave come to ed nuclear a situation plant said where we are two of the six reacvery close to tor units getting the were situation safely under control.” cooled down.

“We — Deputy Cabinet consider Secretary Tetsuro that now Fukuyama we have come to a situation where we are very close to getting the situation under control,” Deputy Cabinet Secretary Tetsuro Fukuyama said.

Still, serious problems remained at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear complex.

Pressure unexpectedly rose in a third unit’s reactor, meaning plant operators may need to deliberately release radioactive steam. That has only added to public anxiety over radiation that began leaking from the plant after a monstrous earthquake and tsunami devastated northeastern Japan on March 11 and left the plant unstable. As day broke today, Japan’s military resumed dousing of the complex’s troubled Unit 4.

The World Bank said in report today that Japan may need five years to rebuild from the catastrophic disasters, which caused up to $235 billion in damage, saying the cost to private insurers will be up to $33 billion and that the government will spend $12 billion on reconstruction in the current national budget and much more later.

The safety of food and water was of particular concern. The government halted shipments of spinach from one area and raw milk from another near the nuclear plant after tests found iodine exceeded safety limits. Tokyo’s tap water, where iodine turned up Friday, now has cesium. Rain and dust are also tainted.

Early today, the Health Ministry advised Iitate, a village of 6,000 people about 19 miles northwest of the Fukushima plant, not to drink tap water due to elevated levels of iodine. Ministry spokesman Takayuki Matsuda said iodine three times the normal level was detected there — about one twentysixth of the level of a chest Xray in one liter of water.

In all cases, the government said the radiation levels were too small to pose an immediate health risk.

All six of the nuclear complex’s reactor units saw trouble after the disasters knocked out cooling systems.

In a small advance, the plant’s operator declared Units 5 and 6 — the least troublesome — under control after their nuclear fuel storage pools cooled to safe levels.

U.S. deems Libya bombing successful LIBYAN SOLDIERS SURVEY THE DAMAGE to an administrative building hit by a missile late Sunday in in Tripoli, Libya, early today.

By Robert Burns Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — The U.S. on Sunday claimed initial success two days into an assault on Libya that included some of the heaviest firepower in the American arsenal — long-range bombers designed for the Cold War — but American officials said Sunday it was too early to define the international military campaign’s endgame.

The top U.S. military officer suggested that Libyan strongman Moammar Gadhafi might stay in power in spite of the military assault aimed at protecting civilians, calling into question the larger objective of an end to Gadhafi’s erratic 42-year rule.

Other top U.S. officials have suggested that a weakened and isolated Gadhafi could be ripe for a coup.

A second wave of attacks, mainly from American fighters and bombers, targeted Libyan ground forces and air defenses, following an opening barrage Saturday of sea-launched Tomahawk cruise missiles.

Defense Secretary Robert Gates said the U.S. expects to turn control of the mission over to a coalition — probably headed either by the French and British or by NATO — “in a matter of days.”

Late Sunday, however, NATO’s top decision-making body failed to agree on a plan to enforce the no-fly zone over Libya, although it did approve a military plan to implement a U.N. arms embargo.

At the Pentagon, Navy Vice Adm. William E. Gortney, staff director for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told a news conference that the back-toback assaults Saturday and

Sunday had inflicted heavy damage. They largely silenced Gadhafi’s air defenses, blunted his army’s drive on the rebel stronghold of Benghazi and confused his forces.

“We judge these strikes to have been very effective in significantly degrading the regime’s air defense capability,” Gortney said. “We believe his forces are under significant stress and suffering from both isolation and a good deal of confusion.”

Gortney’s assessment suggested that further strikes on the scale of Saturday’s heavy assault with sea-launched Tomahawk cruise missiles

may not be needed, although he did not rule out further attacks.

Gortney said Gadhafi himself is not a target, but he could not guarantee the strongman’s safety.

Inside Gadhaf i’s huge Tripoli compound, an administration building was hit and badly damaged late Sunday.

An Associated Press photographer at the scene said half of the round, three-story building was knocked down..

The systems targeted most closely were Libya’s SA-5 surface-to-air missiles, Russianmade weaponry that could pose a threat to allied aircraft many miles off the Libyan coastline. Libya has a range of other air defense weaponry, including portable surface-toair missiles that are more difficult to eliminate by bombing.

Sunday’s attacks, carried out by a range of U.S. aircraft — including Air Force B-2 stealth bombers as well as Marine Harrier jets flying from an amphibious assault ship in the Mediterranean — demonstrated the predominance of U.S. firepower in the

international coalition. By striking Libyan ground forces, coalition forces also showed that they are going beyond the most frequently discussed goal of establishing a no-fly zone over the country.

A military official said the B-2s flew 25 hours in a round trip from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri and dropped 45 2,000-pound bombs.

U.S. missiles and warplanes were clearly in the lead Saturday and Sunday, but Gates said the plan remains for the U.S. to step back once the threat from the Libyan military is reduced.

“We agreed to use our unique capabilities and the breadth of those capabilities at the front of this process, and then we expected in a matter of days to be able to turn over the primary responsibility to others,” Gates told reporters traveling with him to Russia. “We will continue to support the coalition, we will be a member of the coalition, we will have a military role in the coalition, but we will not have the preeminent role.”

Overreaction Throwing out the State Board of Education and the Kansas Board of Regents isn’t the best way to improve education coordination in the state.

I

f some state legislators are concerned about a lack of coordination between K-12 schools and higher education in Kansas, they should look at that problem but resist throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Last week, House Speaker Mike O’Neal announced his intention to pursue a constitutional amendment that would abolish the Kansas Board of Regents and the Kansas State School Board and replace them with a single cabinet-level secretary of education who would be appointed by the governor. His main justification for the move was to improve coordination for students from kindergarten through their post-secondary education.

Coordination of those efforts certainly is desirable, but having an appointed secretary of education isn’t guaranteed to improve that situation and would open the door to many undesirable political influences in the state’s education system. The State Board of Education went through a difficult time fairly recently when it became highly politicized and experienced a number of philosophical swings.

Think how many more swings might occur if every time a new governor is elected, he or she appoints a single cabinet member with broad authority to set the agenda, curriculum and policies for schools from pre-K to college.

Both the State Board of Education and the Board of Regents are specifically designed to include members from from all parts of the state. State school board members are directly elected by staggered terms by Kansas voters; the regents are appointed to staggered terms and the board often includes members appointed by more than one governor. The system minimizes the political influence of any one group or governor.

It may not be a perfect system, but it provides some key representation for Kansas residents that could be lost under an appointed secretary of education. Whether by appointment or popular election, the best way to ensure education excellence is to have Board of Regents and state school board members with the courage, wisdom and knowledge needed to make powerful decisions on behalf of Kansas students.

O’Neal said he didn’t plan to push for action on the proposed amendment until the next legislative session. Perhaps by then, some less drastic ways can be found to address the Speaker’s concerns about education coordination.

Wilson’s higher ed query resonates today PITTSBURGH — It was a Saturday night in April a century ago. The country was at peace. The economy was stable. But the breezes of reform were blowing across the nation and progressive leaders were asking uncomfortable questions — about how society was organized, about whether the ladder of opportunity had been kicked aside, about whether the country was as dedicated to democratic principles as its founders had been.

In that atmosphere, in a hotel that now houses the student union at the University of Pittsburgh, a college president rose to speak to a group of Ivy League alumni who had poured into town on trains from around the region to sing their college songs, offer their college toasts and later to repair to a college smoker. An orchestra was present. So were some of the leading men of the day. It was an evening of high spirits and highballs. And then a member of the Class of 1879 rose to speak.

His name was Woodrow Wilson and he was the president of Princeton at a time when the institution was more college than university: a parochial, passive place that personified privilege far more than prestige.

A penetrating question In less than seven months Wilson would be elected governor of New Jersey. In less than two years he would take the oath as president of the United States. He was not a frivolous man, and his were not frivolous words. He asked the sons of Old Nassau a penetrating question that had become his obsession, that tortured him as he contemplated Princeton and the world it occupied: “Would Lincoln have been a better instrument for the country’s good if he had been put through the processes of one of our modern colleges?”

The question astonished his listeners, who amid the songs and the toasts and at their tables festooned with orange and black streamers had come to celebrate Princeton, not to question it, who

David Shribman asked the sons of “OldHeNassau … ‘Would

Lincoln have been a better instrument for the country’s good if he had been put through the processes of one of our modern colleges?’” had cheered the arrival of a papier-mache orange-and-black tiger, the college’s mascot, with illuminated eyes, and who had lustily devoured ice cream confections molded in the shape of tigers that were placed in front of them by an army of waiters. This was an occasion for a reunion, not for reflection.

Wilson’s question injected a moment of stunning sobriety to the Princeton proceedings. The account in the Pittsburgh Gazette Times carried this subheadline: “President Wilson Startles.” The second headline in the Pittsburgh Dispatch read: “Princeton President’s Fiery Speech Received in Silence by Local Alumni.” The Dispatch’s account of Wilson’s remarks began this way: “Until Dr. Wilson began to speak, the affair was one of jollity.”

Wilson’s answer Wilson answered his own question, saying that Lincoln would not have been advantaged by a Princeton education, or a college education as it was understood a century ago. Here is his argument: “The processes to which the college man are subjected do not render him serviceable to the country as a whole. It is for this reason that I have dedicated

every power in me to a democratic re-generation. The American college must become saturated in the same sympathies as the common people. The colleges of this country must be reconstructed from the top to the bottom.”

Wilson’s theme was that American colleges were too marinated in exclusiveness and not suff iciently concerned with “moral advance.”

But his question — whether Lincoln would have been improved by a college education — is relevant to us now, when the rush to the colleges is at full flood but when college life is full of distractions, binge drinking, distorted sleep patterns and evershrinking hours of contemplation and study.

Modern responses In the past several weeks I posed the Wilson question to a half-dozen college presidents, past and present, and most acknowledged, uncomfortably, that Lincoln somehow had become educated without stepping into a college classroom.

“He was street and politically smart — and had excellent values,” said C. Peter Magrath, who has been president of five universities and now serves as interim president of Binghamton University in New York.

Mark Nordenberg, chancellor of the University of Pittsburgh, said: “Though we take pride in helping to strengthen values, sharpen insights and develop a broader sense of social context, it appears that Mr. Lincoln did not need much help on any of those fronts.”

James E. Wright, who taught me history before he became the president of Dartmouth College, replied that “as hard as it is for an academic to admit, I can’t imagine that a college education would have enabled Lincoln to be of any greater service to the country.” Wright, who retired nearly two years ago, added: “Today we often confuse certification with education. In fact our society seems to value the former more than the latter. That

was not true in Lincoln’s time ...

But he did need to be educated.

And he clearly accomplished that largely on his own. I define being educated for this purpose as an individual having an understanding of his or her context — their place in history, in culture, in the physical and biological world. I define it as understanding others and knowing yourself — what you stand for and what you value.

Lincoln had these things. He read widely and understood well who he was and understood his country at that time in our history.”

The Wilson question is important because it focuses us on the purpose of college when the word is not being used as a modifier to “football” or “basketball tournament.” This is not to minimize the importance of sport and healthy attitudes toward exercise.

Indeed, one of Wilson’s predecessors and his persistent political rival, Theodore Roosevelt, championed and probably saved college football, a tale told in John J. Miller’s forthcoming “The Big Scrum” (HarperCollins).

Other paths to knowledge But somehow Lincoln acquired experience, wisdom and perspective without sitting in a seminar room, developed a sense of spirit without being revved up by screaming announcers and wildly shifting light shows at a basketball arena, and learned to express himself without going to the campus writing center.

He did it by revering knowledge, respecting history, worshipping the written word, studying tradition — and daring to imagine a world where the ennobling traditions were enhanced and the rancid ones eliminated.

Those are the goals of the best college students, if not always the so-called best colleges. Everything else is ephemeral, as Woodrow Wilson taught the college revelers at their Pittsburgh reunion. He asked a question that should preoccupy us still.

This Ash Wednesday, Governor Pat Quinn of Illinois signed into law a bill that repealed the state’s death penalty. Quinn’s decision was influenced largely by his communication with faith leaders, highlighting the great moral and spiritual dilemma of the death penalty system.

As leaders representing a variety of faith communities in Lawrence, we renew our call to end capital punishment in the Sunflower State as well. We believe the current provision for the death penalty sentence in Kansas is wrong from spiritual, moral and public policy perspectives.

As people of faith, we seek justice for all people. We firmly believe that those who commit crimes should be held accountable for their actions and that the needs of family members of murder victims must be addressed in the aftermath of murder.

There is growing evidence to suggest that the death penalty harms victim families.

Imposing the death penalty often prolongs the suffering and delays the healing of the victim’s family members as they are forced to relive the trauma of the crime again and again while they endure the appeals process.

In addition to the stresses placed on victims’ families, the use of the death penalty also puts the state in danger of executing innocent people. We now know that the death penalty in this country has resulted in the execution of those who were innocent.

In addition, evidence shows that the death penalty is often unfairly applied due to factors such as race or geographic location. Furthermore, many studies suggest that the death penalty is not an effective deterrent; it does not prevent murders.

We also recognize the financial implications of the current policy. We believe that the death penalty is neither the highest priority nor the best use of the state’s limited financial resources. Instead, state funds should be used to support programs that prevent crime, improve education and provide services to the families of murder victims. We should use

our resources to improve life, not end it.

Finally, we believe all human life is sacred and created by God, and therefore, we must see all human life as significant and valuable. As people of faith we believe in and affirm people’s capacity for change. We believe that no individual is beyond redemption and that our government should not condone policies that deny the prospect of redemption.

In 2010, the Kansas Senate was one vote short of passing legislation that would have repealed the Kansas death penalty. This year, another death penalty abolition bill, HB 2323, is under consideration in the Kansas House.

We urge the Kansas Legislature to abolish the death penalty in our state. Whether you approach the issue from a spiritual, ethical or policy perspective, the reasons to keep the Kansas death penalty just don’t add up.

Building collapses in downtown Sedalia SEDALIA, MO. (AP) — Inspectors are looking into what caused a building to collapse in downtown Sedalia.

Sedalia Police Sgt. Kelley Casto says no one was inside the building when the front portion gave way Thursday night.

The K&K Restaurant Fixture Company owns the building.

Business owner Brad Kindle said the building was used for storage, and it had not shown signs of damage or stress prior to falling down.

An engineer was at the scene Friday. Mike Valentine, of Kansas City-based Norton & Schmidt Consulting Engineers, says a preliminary assessment of the building will be provided to the city early this week.

He told The Sedalia Democrat that the report will likely recommend the rest of the structure be demolished.

Sedalia is about 90 miles west of Kansas City, Mo. It is the site of the Missouri State Fair.

Refusal to meet boyfriend’s mother shows immaturity

Dear Sad: Annette is too immature to get married. Life is complicated, and if she lacks the courage to face these situations, it will only get more difficult. And meeting Mom is harder now because she has put it off for two years.

Unless Mom has done some-

pack, carton or month, but to quit right now. If I don’t smoke that first cigarette, I won’t be able to smoke the second. This February marked the 23rd anniversary of my quitting. That partial pack of cigarettes is still in my kitchen.

Unfortunately, I didn’t quit soon enough. I developed emphysema and C.O.P.D. (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease). It’s no fun being hooked up to oxygen. I anniesmailbox@creators.com also have poor circulation in thing unforgivable, Annette is my lower legs, but surgeons being both childish and stub- won’t operate due to my damborn. We know mothers can be intimidating for the faint of heart, but Annette should be willing to meet your entire family, not only because it is what committed couples do, but because she respects you.

Is celebrity a blessing or a curse? In the case of Kirstie Alley, star of “Cheers” and now a contestant on “Dancing with the Stars” (7 p.m., ABC), it’s begun to look a lot like the latter. She’s starred in one of the most successful sitcoms ever as well as “Star Trek II” and those hugely popular “Look Who’s Talking” movies. Heck, she even had a decent run on “Veronica’s Closet.” Most mere mortals would consider that a lifetime of attention. But for some, too much is never enough.

In 2005 Alley lampooned her largerthan-life image in “Fat Actress.” Not remotely funny. Five years later, she tried to do the same in a reality format with “Kirstie Alley’s Big Life.” She spent most of her time complaining about her treatment in the tabloids. Big bore was more like it.

Which brings us to her role on “Dancing with the Stars,” one of the most tabloid-attentive shows of all. It’s also the most formulaically cast.

Alley will be playing the presumably out-ofshape middleaged character, pioneered by John O’Hurley on the show’s first season. Anything she does short of dying on live television will be considered a victory for people of her age and size.

Per usual, “Dancing” will feature some professional athletes, including boxer Sugar Ray Leonard, NFL star Hines Ward and professional wrestler Chris Jericho. It also has two talk show personalities, Mike Catherwood from radio and TV’s Wendy Williams. Most seasons bring a fresh young face from ABC’s cable cousin the Disney Channel, and this time Chelsea Kane (“Fish Hooks”) fills that bill. This year’s model Petra Nemcova hopes she doesn’t follow season four’s Paulina Porizkova’s example and become the first to be evicted.

Every season brings a dollop of softcore sleaze, and this time it comes in the shape of Kendra Wilkinson, star of the depressing and banal Hugh Hefner series “The Girls Next Door.” The world of rap music brings us Romeo. And Kirstie Alley is not the only 1980s fixture featured here; she’ll be joined by Ralph Macchio, star of the “Karate Kid” movies.

Good luck to one and all. ● “Triangle: Remembering the Fire” (8 p.m., HBO) documents the 1911 conflagration that claimed the lives of 146 garment workers, mostly young women. It also recalls a time when unions were considered criminal organizations, government regulations dismissed as “socialism” or worse, and when immigrants were denounced as a menace. We’ve come so far since then.

Tonight’s other highlights ● A homeless patient resists prognosis on “House” (7 p.m., Fox). ● Thomas confides in Sophia on “The Event” (8 p.m., NBC). ● FBI interference causes static on “The Chicago Code” (8 p.m., Fox). ● A would-be superhero expires on “Hawaii Five-O” (9 p.m., CBS). ● A friend in need on “Harry’s Law” (9 p.m., NBC). ● A case comes to resemble a soap opera on “Castle” (9 p.m., ABC).

Cult choice The lives of Turkish immigrants in Germany intersect in unexpected ways in the 2007 film “The Edge of Heaven” (7 p.m.

Sundance).

Dear Annie: This is for “Grumpy Quitter,” who promised to stop smoking. I was a heavy smoker for 40 years.

Dear Annie: I have been dating “Annette” for two years, and we are inseparable.

I love and appreciate her. We both still live with our families and spend the majority of our time at her house.

Annette often talks about moving in together and getting married, but after two years, she still refuses to meet my mother. She has met my father and a brother, but when it comes to my mother, her anxiety gets the better of her.

Because of this, she never comes to my house. Annette says she won’t meet my mother until I propose. I have told her that I don’t feel comfortable taking things to the next level until she meets my mother.

I am afraid this is going to end our relationship. Obviously, we will not be living with our parents when we get married. But my family is still important, and I feel if she wants to be a part of it, she ought to spend time with them. How should I approach this? — Sad and Confused.
