SCHOOL CONSOLIDATION

For a remaining few Kansas veterans, the horror of Pearl Harbor is as vivid as yesterday

Kennedy rep: Pick us for closure

By Mark Fagan mfagan@ljworld.com

As representatives from three schools targeted for potential consolidation pointed out the strengths of their school’s programs, advisability of their locations and community strengths of their programs — all with an eye toward justifying each school’s very survival — Dawn Shew wasn’t having any of it.

Go ahead and close our school, she said. Consolidate.

Build anew. Add students. Bolster programs.

With the district looking for help choosing which schools to close and refinement of projects to propose in a future bond issue, the representative from Kennedy School wasn’t about to let a good opportunity go We feel like to waste. if consolida“We feel like if con- tion’s going to solidation’s happen, pick going to hap- us.” pen, pick us,” Shew said Monday — Dawn Shew, a night, outlin- representative of ing plans that Kennedy School would combine Kennedy and New York schools in a new, larger building at or near the former East Heights School, 1430 Haskell Ave. “Let it be us.

“We would rather see that opportunity come to fruition than miss out.”

Kennedy’s plan was among four proposals discussed during Monday night’s meeting of the Central and East Lawrence Elementary School Consolidation Working Group, an advisory panel established by the Lawrence school board to devise a plan for cut a list of six schools — Cordley, Hillcrest, Kennedy, New York, Pinckney and Sunset Hill — down to three or four within the next two years.

Monday night’s discussion reviewed proposals forwarded

LAWRENCE RESIDENT VINCENT MUIRHEAD, 89, TOP PHOTO, AND MISSION RESIDENT DORWIN LAMKIN, 89, above, are both World War II veterans who were at Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, when it was attacked by the Japanese. Lamkin was serving on the USS Nevada, and Muirhead was on the USS Maryland. Both men are devoted to keeping the memories and history lessons from that day alive. See the videos at LJWorld.com.

Survivors hope lessons of history live on

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

Editor’s note: This is the second in a three-part series marking the 70th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, which occurred on Dec. 7, 1941.

O

n the morning of Dec. 7, 1941, 22-year-old Vincent Muirhead had planned a leisurely day that included leaving his USS Maryland battleship to take pictures of a hula show later at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel.

Muirhead had bought a new 8 mm Bell and Howell movie camera and wanted to try it out.

As he and roommates were getting ready for breakfast,

they heard loud noises.

“We looked out the porthole and saw a Japanese plane going by 100 feet in the air,” said Muirhead, now a 92-year-old Lawrence resident and retired Kansas University aerospace engineering professor.

Dorwin Lamkin, 89, of Mission, who was a 19-year-old hospital apprentice aboard the USS Nevada, has a similar memory of the start of the Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor.

Lamkin had been up late the night before helping stitch up a sailor who got into a fight.

“I was in the sack, as they say,” said Lamkin, now chairman of the Kansas City chapter of the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association. “I heard this ‘rat-tat-tat-tat,’ and I Please see VETERANS, page 5A

DEATHS KAIDDEN MICHAEL WAYNE MENDENHALL Graveside services for Kaidden Michael Wayne Mendenhall, infant son of Mary A. Mendenhall, will be at 10 a.m. Thursday at Oak

Hill Cemetery.

The family will receive friends from 9 a.m. to 9:45 a.m. Thursday at RumseyYost Funeral Home.

George D. Corn George D. Corn died Friday, December 2, 2011, at Lawrence Presbyterian Manor at the age of 99. A Celebration of Life will be held at Rumsey-Yost Funeral Home on Saturday, December 10 at 10:00 am.

A gathering of family and friends will be held Friday, December 9, from 7:00 to 9:00 pm at the Funeral Home.

George was born northeast of Oskaloosa, KS on February 2, 1912, the eldest child of Edith (Reese) and Ray R. Corn. At the age of 2, George’s father took a job with the railroad. For a year and a half, the family followed across Kansas in a covered wagon where they settled for a time in Graham County. They returned to the Douglas County area where he attended Pinckney School. He graduated from Baldwin High School in1930. George attended Baker University where he boxed and was a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity.

In 1934, he married Beulah Bell. They had two daughters, Sandra and Patricia. After attending Snyder Beauty College, he and his mother started Corn’s Studio of Beauty at the present site of Wheatfields Bakery. He enlisted in the Army Air Corps and served from 1942 to 1946 as a Radio Specialist. He and Beulah divorced and in 1946 he married Margaret Tipton in Plainview, Texas. In 1948 they returned to Lawrence where they had two daughters, Lynn and Luann. George was a Lawrence businessman for 37 years. He was a member of the First Methodist Church, Lakeview Fishing and Shooting Assn., and Sertoma International where he received Sertoman of the Year in 1985. He was an Officer/Board Member of Douglas County Trail Riders, Kansas Cutting Horse Assn., and Northeast Kansas Quarter Horse Assn. George became a much sought-after judge

of horse shows throughout northeast Kansas.

Upon retirement he began Corn working part time at the Orchards Executive Golf Course, which allowed him to renew his lifelong love of golf. He was many times state champion Senior Olympics Golfer, and represented Kansas at the National Senior Olympics in St. Louis, Baton Rouge, San Antonio, and Tucson.

He played in the Orchards Men’s Senior League until the age of 98.

He was preceded in death by his wife Margaret; his parents; two brothers, Francis Ray Corn and Clyde Leroy Corn; sister Emmalou Anglin; a grandson, Corben John Saunders, and a son-inlaw, John Phillip Saunders.

He is survived by his daughters: Patricia Monroe and husband Kenneth of Westland, MI; Sandra Blume and husband Budd of Oaxaca, Mexico; Lynn Saunders, Lawrence; and Luann Crist, Perry.

Grandchildren: Dustin and Colleen Crist, Chesapeake, VA; Loren and Margaret Saunders, Kansas City, MO; David Bommelje, Scott and Sherrie Bommelje, and Kay Moore, all of Charlotte, NC.; Tammy and Bill Neighbor, Amhurst, OH; Lisa and Scott Dorow, Belleville, MI; Anna and Steve Bossidis, Canton, MI; and fifteen great-grandchildren.

George will be remembered as an avid outdoorsman, for his love of his family, friends, and the Jayhawks. It can be said that George “birdied” life.

Memorials are suggested to Douglas County Visiting Nurses and Hospice, or Lawrence Presbyterian Manor Memorial Golf Tournament Fund in care of the funeral home.

Thirty-three states and the District of Columbia experienced a decrease in the uninsured rate of children.

The national improvement was attributed to more children getting coverage through states’ Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Programs.

So why did Kansas rank at the bottom?

Shannon Cotsoradis, president and chief executive officer of Kansas Action for Children, said Monday it was because Kansas’ efforts to provide health care coverage for more children from lowincome families were made later than most other states.

An expansion of eligibility and changes in procedures to make it easier to sign up for Medicaid and HealthWave were not fully implemented until 2010.

“We took some steps in the right direction,” she said.

“We are not seeing the fruits of those labors yet. We need to stay the course.”

Plea deal reached in School year-old crime spree

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

A 20-year-old Kansas City, Kan., man pleaded no contest Monday to one count of robbery as part of a plea deal in connection with a crime spree in Lawrence a year ago.

Attorneys said they believed Michael A. Howard faces from 114 months to 128 months in prison based on his criminal history, but if he cooperates in a case against a co-defendant, Raymond Cortez Morgan, prosecutors would ask a judge to take two years off his sentence.

He originally faced two counts of aggravated robbery, one count of aggravated battery, one count of criminal possession of a firearm and one count of conspiracy.

During an October preliminary hearing, prosecutors accused Howard of using a gun to rob a male KU student Dec. 28, 2010, as the student was walking in an alley in the 300 block of West 12th Street.

Through circumstantial evidence, prosecutors also accused Howard of punching a 22-year-old female KU student in the face and robbing her about 1:15 a.m. Dec. 29 as she was walking in the 800 block of Tennessee Street.

The woman suffered a concussion and three facial fractures.

Assistant District Attorney Eve Kemple said that Howard’s no-contest plea was only for the 12th Street robbery but that Howard would give a detailed statement to a Lawrence police detective about his involvement and possibly the involvement of two co-defendants in injuring the woman.

Howard also likely will be required to register as a violent offender once he’s released from prison, and he would be required to pay about $1,000 in restitution to both victims. Defense attorney Craig Stancliffe said Howard has been diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic and has been taking psychiatric medication.

A co-defendant, Ashley C. Johnson, 21, also of Kansas City, Kan., has received probation in the case, and she has testified she came to Lawrence that night with Howard and Morgan, 27, also of Kansas City, Kan., to commit crimes for money.

Morgan, who is charged with conspiracy to commit robbery, aggravated robbery and being a felon in possession of a firearm, has a trial scheduled for Feb. 21.

District Judge Michael Malone is scheduled to sentence Howard on Feb. 24.

representatives from Cordley and New York schools.

The working group’s recommendations are due to the school board by the end of January. Board members are responsible for making decisions about which schools to consolidate, which projects to include in a bond issue and which boundaries to adjust, as necessary.

Monday night, members of the working group didn’t make any decisions about any particular plan, other than to explore representatives’ reasoning behind some of the suggestions.

Among topics and issues discussed Monday night: #" Hillcrest representatives explained that their school could be expanded to become a three-section school — that’s three classes at each grade level — on the existing site at 1045 Hilltop Drive, an area others previously have described as too small. “It’s ample. It’s adequate. It’s level,” said Dennis Hill, a Hilltop representative.

Added Leslie Newman, another Hilltop representative, who noted that an architect

who has a student at Hilltop had helped draw up a possible new floor plan, for a project that could be completed in 15 months: “We’re excited. This is possible. This is doable on our site.” The Hillcrest scenario would close Pinckney. #" Kennedy representatives would favor closing Hillcrest and having those students move to an expanded Sunset Hill. A new building combining Kennedy and New York, they say, would be best suited for property at the southeast corner of 15th Street and Haskell Avenue, on property currently owned by the Boys and Girls Club of Lawrence, the city of Lawrence and some private property owners — at least one of whom has stated, unequivocally, that he doesn’t intend to sell his home or his 5 acres of land to the district. “That’s not our job, thankfully,” Shew said, of the working group’s role in proposing plans, not acting upon them. “Maybe he would enjoy having a school built all around him, like a loving embrace? I don’t know.” #" Sunset Hill representatives envision expanding their school on their 9-acre site, which is adjacent to West Middle School. “This is not a time or environment to build an entirely new facility,” said Daisy Wakefield, a Sunset

Hill representative. Sunset Hill would welcome students from Hillcrest, while Hillcrest would remain open and take in students from Pinckney, which would close largely because of its inability to handle expansion at its own site. #" Pinckney representatives suggest expanding Sunset Hill and closing Hillcrest, which could become a site for earlychildhood or Boys and Girls Club programs in part because of the presence of the Ryan Gray Playground for All Children. Kennedy and New York would combine in a new twostory building at the former East Heights site, given the lot’s relatively small size.

Each proposal brought up questions and concerns, ones certain to be explored in the coming weeks.

About the only idea that drew universal support came at the end of the discussion, after nearly two hours of exploring ideas and concepts and boundary issues and programming needs and other topics.

“Maybe we should just keep our own schools open,” said Mike Myers, a representative from New York School.

Obama prods GOP on payroll tax cut President Barack Obama accepted a move by Senate Democrats to scale back his Social Security payroll tax cut extension Monday, then prodded Republicans to support it despite a requirement for the very wealthy to pay more taxes.

Obama also called on lawmakers to renew a program of extended unemployment benefits due to expire Dec. 31. He said the checks, which kick in after six months of joblessness, are “the last line of defense between hardship and catastrophe” for some victims of the recession and a painfully slow recovery.

The president made his remarks at the White House as Republicans and Democrats in Congress said a holiday-season package was beginning to come into focus that could cost $180 billion or more over a decade. Elements include not only the payroll tax cut and unemployment benefit renewals, but also a provision to avert a threatened 27 percent reduction in fees to doctors who treat Medicare patients.

Medicare database to rate doctors Picking a specialist for a delicate medical procedure like a heart bypass could get a lot easier in the not-too-distant future.

The government announced Monday that Medicare will finally allow its extensive claims database to be used by employers, insurance companies and consumer groups to produce report cards on local doctors — and improve current ratings of hospitals.

HEALTH By analyzing masses of billing records, experts can glean such critical information as how often a doctor has performed a particular procedure and get a general sense of problems such as preventable complications.

Doctors will be individually identifiable through the Medicare files, but personal data on their patients will remain confidential. Compiled in an easily understood format and released to the public, medical report cards could become a powerful tool for promoting quality care.

Planet may be in ideal spot for life A newly discovered planet is eerily similar to Earth and is sitting outside our solar system in what seems to be the ideal place for life, except for one hitch. It’s a bit too big.

The planet is smack in the middle of what astronomers call the Goldilocks zone, that hard to find place that’s not too hot, not too cold, where water, which is essential for life, doesn’t freeze or boil. And it has a shopping mall-like surface temperature of near 72 degrees, scientists say.

The planet’s confirmation was announced Monday by NASA along with other discoveries by its Kepler telescope, which was launched on a planethunting mission in 2009.

That’s the first planet confirmed in the habitable zone for Kepler, which had already found Earth-like rocky planets elsewhere. Twice before astronomers have announced a planet found in that zone, but neither have been as promising.

Putin’s party accused of rigging vote Several thousand protesters took to the streets Monday night and accused Prime Minister Vladimir Putin’s party of rigging this weekend’s parliamentary election in which it won the largest share of the seats.

It was perhaps the biggest opposition rally in years and ended with police detaining about 300 activists.

A group of several hundred marched toward the Central Elections Commission near the Kremlin but were stopped by riot police and taken away in buses.

Estimates of the number of protesters ranged from 5,000 to 10,000. They chanted “Russia without Putin” and accused his United Russia party of stealing votes.

In St. Petersburg, police detained about 120 protesters.

United Russia won about 50 percent of Sunday’s vote, a result that opposition politicians and election monitors said was inflated because of ballot-box stuffing and other vote fraud. It was a significant drop from the last election, when the party took 64 percent.

If Santa Bob gets his Christmas wish this year, a brightly painted Van Go Mobile Arts bench will appear just outside Kansas University’s Schiefelbusch Speech-Hearing-Language Clinic.

For nearly 30 years, Bob Beebe has been playing Santa.

And, while Santa has always been jolly, Beebe’s life has not.

Fourteen years ago, Beebe was taking down Christmas decorations from West Junior High School when he fell 65 feet off scaffolding and suffered a traumatic brain injury, which left him with physical and mental disabilities.

Putting on the red suit helps Beebe forget that and other troubles he has had in a rather rocky life.

“This is what is really keeping me going,” Beebe said.

On Friday afternoon, Beebe was handing out high-fives and candy canes to the wide-eyed children who walked through the doors of the Lawrence Public Library. Earlier that day, he visited with children at McDonald’s, where a boy told him he had been good for an entire week.

“I enjoy the kids,” said Beebe, who is starting to see the children of children who sat on his lap 30 years ago.

Beebe carries a string of bells that he shakes and has recently added a cellphone, pretending to keep tabs on the Naughty and Nice list. In his closet are three red suits, among them a vintage corduroy one from the ’60s.

“He is Santa; no question about it,” said Natalie Donovan, who is Beebe’s case worker through Community Works Inc. “He is not creepy. You got to love a Santa with tattoos.”

And Beebe does have tattoos. On the back of his hand is a martini glass with an ol-

BOB BEEBE, 60, LAWRENCE, LOOKS for a high-five from Gage Kemme, 2, Friday at the Lawrence Public Library. Beebe hopes to raise enough money for a Van Go Mobile Arts bench for the Schiefelbusch Clinic at Kansas University, where Beebe received help in recovering his ability to communicate after a head injury. ive, which he covers up with gloves.

Parents love Beebe, Donovan said, because he is a Santa who has learned to never promise anything. Instead, he responds with a diplomatic “I’ll see what I can do.”

A lot of sponsors help Beebe keep the Santa gig going. Skin Illustrations colors his hair and beard white. McDonald’s gives him cookies to hand out.

And Bob’s Auto Maintenance helps him keep his “sleigh,” a bright red 1968 Ford Galaxie, running.

Beebe makes appearances at

grocery stores, local businesses and in homes. During December, Donovan has watched Beebe be the hit of many holiday parties.

“I think this is the point Bob’s year moves toward. This season is the part of the year that is the most emotional and the most fulfilling,” Donovan said.

Beebe said getting paid to play Santa would take the fun out of it. So that’s why he asks people to donate to local charities instead. Last year, his donations went to Just Food, a Please see SANTA, page 4A

Plans for a sand-dredging operation in the floodplain along the Kansas River north of Eudora will be up for approval Wednesday night by the Douglas County Commission.

Kaw Valley Companies Inc., based in Kansas City, Kan., wants to establish a Kaw Valley Eudora Sand Facility on 197 acres at 2102 North 1500 Road.

The company has applied for a conditional use permit to establish and operate the plant, a project opposed by residents living along roads that would lead up to the plant and by the city COUNTY of Eudora.

COMMISSION The city contends that the operation would go against Eudora’s comprehensive land-use plan and threaten the quality of the city’s drinking water because of the proposed sand pit’s proximity to the city’s municipal water wells.

County commissioners will have three options to consider when they take up the issue during their meeting, which begins at 6:35 p.m. Wednesday at the Douglas County Courthouse, 11th and Massachusetts streets: ! Approve the permit, which would clear the way for the operation. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers recently approved its permit to allow for removal of sand at the site, but the entire operation could not move forward without the county’s conditional-use permit. ! Reject the county’s permit, following the recommendation of the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission.

Planning commissioners recommended denial of the permit back in April, on a 7-1-1 vote.

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

It’s not too late.

That’s the message that Kansas health officials are delivering this week to folks who have procrastinated about getting a flu shot.

Thousands of people already have been vaccinated this year in Douglas County. But Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department spokeswoman Lisa Horn is asking those who haven’t received one to get a shot now.

“That way, they will have immunity by the time Christmas rolls around when they are

mingling with friends and family,” Horn said.

And the flu shot will provide protection later in the season, too, when flu activity is at its highest.

Here are some numbers to gauge how this year’s flu season is shaping up:

2,124 The number of people who have received flu shots from the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department since Sept.

KU’s Hall Center to receive $425K if it meets goal

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

Kansas University’s Hall Center for the Humanities has received a $425,000 challenge grant notification from the National Endowment for the Humanities in support of a new research collaboration initiative.

The Hall Center will receive the funds, provided they raise just over $1.2 million in a 3-to-1 match.

“The timing for us is really terrific,” said Victor Bailey, Hall Center director, noting that the project will streamline with KU’s ongoing

universitywide fundraising campaign.

Bailey said the Hall Center has received two similar grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities in the past.

In both cases — one in the 1980s and another in the early part of the last decade — the Hall Center was able to raise the funds necessary to secure the grant funding.

The funds will support researchers looking to collaborate more on research. The old model of research often includes “soft collaboration,” Bailey said, which could in-

clude some discussion at a conference with colleagues but results in a single author producing a published work.

The new model will look to build humanities projects that involve collaboration, both inside and outside KU, throughout the process.

One example of that kind of research, Bailey said, is a project involving Peter Grund, an assistant English professor.

Grund is working on a project involving the Salem Witch Trials, Bailey said, and is seeking to determine the identity of the person who wrote down the depositions in legal documents

Prison donates 198K pounds of produce LEAVENWORTH (AP) — Produce grown by inmates at the U.S. Penitentiary in Leavenworth helped more than 21,000 people this year.

Brian Habjan, a spokesman for the program, says 198,778 pounds of produce were given away free of charge this year.

The program started in 2010. The inmates grow the produce and volunteers pick it up for distribution around the Leavenworth area.

Habjan said that 21,823 people received the produce this year. He said an average of 334 families and 839 individuals received the supplies of fruits and vegetables each week.

The Leavenworth Times reported that some inmates in the program receive apprenticeship program credits through the Department of Labor that can be converted into college credits.

A Douglas County judge Monday approved a $100,000 settlement in a lawsuit over a 2010 crash on Clinton Parkway that killed a 19-year-old Lawrence woman.

The parents of Mary Grace Paez, a 2010 Lawrence High School graduate, had reached the agreement with Geico, the insurance carrier for Sean Barrett Walker, a 23-year-old Overland Park man.

Lawrence police have said Paez died when her Nissan Sentra that was headed south on Inverness Drive was struck

by Walker’s 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee that was traveling west on Clinton Parkway at 1:30 a.m. Oct. 14, 2010. At the time of the accident, investigators said they believed Paez made a complete stop at a flashing red light before she pulled into the intersection.

Her car was struck by Walker’s Jeep that had entered the intersection on a flashing yellow light.

Police said Walker was treated for a head injury at the crash scene, and officers obtained a warrant to draw blood from him after he refused to submit to testing. Officer Shawn Gross wrote in a police report he observed a moderate odor of alcohol on Walker’s

breath and said Walker’s speech was slurred. Results of the blood test have not been made public; a toxicology report for Paez was negative for alcohol and drugs.

During the hearing Monday morning, attorneys did not mention any specific details about the accident. Cecilia Paez, Mary Grace Paez’s mother, will be awarded 96 percent of the settlement amount, while her ex-husband, Vincent Paez, will receive about 4 percent. Both amounts will be awarded after attorneys’ fees and costs are deducted, according to the agreement Chief District Judge Robert Fairchild approved.

Cecilia Paez’s attorney James Wisler said in court Monday the $100,000 settlement was the maximum amount allowed under Walker’s insurance policy.

District Attorney Charles Branson has said prosecutors still are pondering whether to file criminal charges against Walker, who is currently serving a prison sentence for a probation violation in an unrelated 2006 Johnson County attempted robbery and battery case.

LAW ENFORCEMENT REPORT

Nikola Reinfelds, supervisor, Allen Press Lawrence “I don’t remember talking about it in school until college, and then it was people talking about controversy — comparing two administrations and warnings of potential terror attacks.”

• Kansas University police officers are investigating a burglary at Corbin Hall, 420 W. 11th St., in which someone was suspected of entering the building through an unsecured window and taking $2,200 in property.

According to the police report, the burglary occurred between 8 p.m. Wednesday and 7:10 a.m.

Thursday.

• A 40-year-old Baldwin City woman pleaded no contest to a criminal damage charge in connection with a May arson case.

Rose Mary Pettibon waived her right to a preliminary hearing and entered the plea Monday morning. District Judge Sally Pokorny is scheduled to sentence her Jan. 9, according to Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson’s office. Pettibon initially faced an arson charge for a fire May 24 at a Baldwin City residence.

INJURY ACCIDENT

Bo Stephenson, chef, Teller’s, Lawrence “Yes. Dec. 7, 1941 — it was a surprise attack; Congress declared war by the end of the day. And then the U.S. was in World War II.”

• A 25-year-old Baldwin City man was injured Friday night in a one-vehicle accident on a Douglas County gravel road, said Sgt. Steve Lewis, a Douglas County Sheriff’s spokesman.

Lewis said Jeffrey Hill was a passenger in a 2005 Dodge pick-

up truck that Ryan Niehoff, 25, also of Baldwin City, was driving at 11 p.m. Friday in the 700 block of East 1700 Road near Vinland.

Niehoff lost control of the truck, which skidded into the north ditch and struck an embankment, Lewis said. Hill was taken to Overland Park Regional Medical Center with injuries not believed to be life threatening.

Niehoff and another passenger were not injured. Lewis said officers believed alcohol was a contributing factor in the crash, and Niehoff was cited for speeding and refusal to take a preliminary breath test.

Japanese,” Muirhead said of feelings before Pearl Harbor.

The USS Maryland was bombed. Four men died, although Muirhead was not hurt. The ship was eventually repaired and returned to action in the Japanese theater.

At Pearl Harbor, the Maryland was tied to the USS Oklahoma, which sustained much heavier damage and rolled completely over. That was the major focus of the rescue mission, but more than 400 sailors on the Oklahoma drowned.

Muirhead today calls Pearl Harbor one of the worst days of his life.

Lamkin also somberly talks about the tragedy. He remembers details very vividly, up to a point at least.

His USS Nevada wasn’t tied to any other ship, and he was doing his best to help treat the injured. But the ship was hit by bombs and began taking on water.

“If we had sunk in the middle of the stream, we’d have bottled up the entire fleet,” Lamkin said.

But a yard captain sent two tug boats that were able to push them out of the way.

The ship sank controllably, and most of the crew was taken ashore where they spent days in tents. The Navy says 50 officers and men were killed on the Nevada.

Lamkin can recall helping move the wounded and trying to collect bodies. The 19-yearold young man from northern Wisconsin had never seen a dead person before that day.

“That’s a hard way to break into the world,” he said.

It’s around that point that his memory switches from vivid details amid chaos to not being able to remember anything until two days later. He’s heard other Pearl Harbor veterans mention the same thing.

“I think it was a protective device,” Lamkin said.

“It was nothing conscious on my part, and I’ve wondered about it from time to time.”

He had a moment of fame days later as a photographer took Lamkin’s picture while he was standing ashore talking to two medical officers.

The Navy released the photo, and his aunt saw it in a Minneapolis paper.

“She called my mother and said, ‘Dorwin’s in the newspaper.’ My mother said, ‘He can’t be. He’s in Hawaii,’” he said.

The photo was the first notice his mother had that he

was all right until receiving a short note two days later.

Lamkin survived and then spent time in the Pacific on a cruiser before the Navy allowed him to attend Kansas University. He lettered in football at KU in 1944 and eventually returned to Lawrence to graduate in 1946 after one more tour in the Pacific. He worked for a pharmaceutical company for years, later returning to the Kansas City area, where he’s now retired.

Muirhead eventually became an aviator in the war along with Naval Academy classmate John “Buck” Newsom, of Lawrence. Newsom was aboard a ship that arrived at Pearl Harbor two days later, on Dec. 9, and has talked about seeing the destruction there.

Still, Lamkin and Muirhead believe the aftermath of Pearl Harbor could have been worse had the Japanese not committed tactical errors.

“There were a lot of rumors.

One of them was that the Japanese would be landing soon,” Muirhead said. “Fortunately, they didn’t do that.”

Lamkin said the Japanese flew several times over a major Navy oil supply.

“If they’d have bombed that oil supply,” he said, “the battle front would have immediately moved back to California.”

Survivor stories Now 70 years later, Lamkin says as the number of Pearl Harbor survivors has diminished, the anniversary seems to get a less prominent spot as a history lesson.

But he and other survivors in the Kansas City area still speak at schools and other events.

“We take advantage of this opportunity to tell the kids about what constitutes their freedoms and what went into it, the elements of it,” Lamkin said. “That’s worked out pretty well.

| 5A

and he’s never really made a big deal out of the anniversary.

“You either survive or you don’t,” Muirhead said. “If you survive, you’re OK, and if you don’t, I guess it’s OK, too.”

Lamkin, on the other hand, jokes that he’s become a “professional survivor” in recent years and plans to attend an event in Mission.

“I don’t regard myself as a hero, and I’m doubly cautious about representing myself as anything other than a survivor,” Lamkin said. “I was where I was because of factors I had no control over, and I did what I was supposed to do.”

The kids still listen intently when he’s in the classroom.

He has created a memorial at a park near his home, and he returned to Pearl Harbor for the first time a year ago, on the 69th anniversary.

Muirhead worries that younger generations spend less time studying history than they used to.

“I would hope that we’re better prepared for whatever occurs in the future,” said Muirhead, who retired from the Navy in 1961 as a commander.

Both men see parallels and major differences between Pearl Harbor and the 9/11 terrorists attacks.

The retired KU professor has no major plans for the 70th anniversary. His wife, Bobby Muirhead, has a doctor’s appointment, he says,

Man, 62, charged in shooting

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

Jefferson County prosecutors filed an attempted seconddegree murder charge Monday against a 62-year-old rural Valley Falls man suspected of shooting another man with a handgun Sunday morning.

Jefferson County Attorney Jason Belveal on Monday charged John Hayworth Jr. with shooting 58-year-old William Schoonover during an incident on Sunday.

Sheriff’s officers arrested Hayworth on suspicion of attempted intentional seconddegree murder after they were called to the shooting about 10:30 a.m. Sunday at a residence near the intersection of Edwards Road and 142nd Street, about 40 miles northwest of Lawrence.

The victim, 58-year-old William Schoonover also of rural Valley Falls, was taken to Stormont-Vail Regional Health Center in Topeka by ambulance. Sheriff Jeff Herrig said Schoonover was expected to recover from his injuries. He had surgery Sunday, and officers initially reported to dispatchers Sunday morning that he was shot in the chest.

Herrig said investigators hoped to interview Schoonover Monday at the hospital to shed further light on why the shooting occurred.

“We’ve got one side. We want to get both,” Herrig said.

The sheriff said the men were adjoining landowners, but neither man lived near where the incident occurred.

Hayworth appeared before a judge Monday on the charge, and his bond was set at $50,000. Belveal said Hayworth was expected to use property he owned to post the surety bond on Monday.

Belveal declined further comment about the alleged incident, citing the ongoing investigation.

BRIEFLY Man accused of attack ordered to stand trial A Douglas County judge Monday ordered a 22-year-old Atchison man accused of punching and injuring a Lawrence man in June to stand trial.

A friend of the alleged victim testified at a preliminary hearing Monday and identified Joshua W. Downing as the man who had exited a vehicle and punched his friend twice about 2:30 a.m. June 30 as the group of friends were walking near Lawrence High School, 1901 La. He said the driver of the vehicle Downing was riding in had made a U-turn and stopped next to them before the altercation.

The Lawrence man suffered a head injury and was bleeding, according to testimony in the case. Downing, who is a student at a Kentucky college, faces an aggravated battery charge in the case.

Defense attorney Charles Whitman said in court Friday that the driver stopped the car Downing was riding in because someone in the group walking was accused of making an offensive gesture toward the car.

District Judge Kay Huff scheduled a March 7 trial in the case.

Brownback: Lieutenant governor will welcome Obama to Kansas

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Gov. Sam Brownback said Monday that because of a previous commitment, he would be unavailable to welcome President Barack Obama, who is visiting Osawatomie Brownback today.

“It is always an honor to have the president in Kansas,” Brownback said.

“I regret that beColyer cause of a long-standing commitment with Wichita State University, I cannot greet President Obama personally. I look

forward to speaking with my former colleague again soon about how we can move our country forward,” he Obama said. Brownback, a Republican, served in the U.S. Senate with Obama, a Democrat.

Obama is scheduled to deliver a speech on the economy in Osawatomie, the site of a famous speech delivered by Theodore Roosevelt in 1910, in which Roosevelt called for a greater economic and social justice.

Brownback said that Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer and his family will welcome Obama on behalf of the state of Kansas.

Brownback is scheduled to participate in a noon session of the Kansas in Question symposium, sponsored by

$

Wichita State University, the Kansas Leadership Center, the Kansas Health Foundation and Wichita Eagle newspaper. Obama is scheduled to talk in Osawatomie about 1 p.m.

The Kansas Republican Party issued a news release criticizing Obama’s handling of the economy. “ … when it comes to the economy, Barack Obama has been all rhetoric and no results with the exception of one — a shrinking labor force.”

But Kansas Democratic Party Chair Joan Wagnon said, “I don’t know what the president is going to say, but if he talks about making wealthy corporations and the richest of the rich pay their fair share, that will be a good beginning to restoring prosperity.”

LAWRENCE FIREFIGHTERS WORK THE SCENE OF A FIRE at a home in the Brookwood Mobile Home Park, 1908 E. 19th St., on Monday. No one was injured in the fire, but a dog died of smoke inhalation. Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical responded to a call at 10:19 a.m. Crews found a single mobile home with heavy smoke seeping out of several openings. The fire was extinguished at 10:41 a.m.

No one was in the mobile home when firefighters arrived, Division Chief Eve Tolefree said in a news release. The Red Cross is assisting the displaced residents, and fire investigators are working to determine the cause.

Associated Press

LAHORE, PAKISTAN — In an overture to Washington, Pakistan’s prime minister said Monday his country wants to repair U.S. relations pushed close to rupture since NATO airstrikes on the Afghan border killed 24 Pakistani troops last month.

Yousuf Raza Gilani’s interview with The Associated Press was the strongest indication yet that Islamabad realizes Pakistan needs an alliance with Washington even as it continues retaliating for the Nov. 26 raid by blocking NATO and U.S. supplies from traveling over its soil into landlocked Afghanistan.

The interview came a day after U.S. President Barack Obama called Pakistan’s president to tell him that the airstrikes were not deliberate targeting of Pakistani soldiers and that the U.S. was committed to a full investigation. The White House said Obama and President Asif Ali Zardari reaffirmed their countries’ relationship, which it described as “critical to the security of both nations,” and agreed to keep in

EU seeks to save euro, but S&P isn’t convinced

Pakistani leader sees progress in U.S. ties

close touch.

Gilani didn’t offer the U.S. anything other than Pakistan’s willingness to consider starting over, apparently believing the attack had given Islamabad fresh leverage to dictate terms in what has been an uneasy and largely transactional relationship since Pakistan joined the U.S. war against violent Islamist extremism after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.

Gilani said new ties being negotiated with the U.S. would ensure that the two countries “respected each other’s red lines” regarding sovereignty and rules of engagement along the border.

“We really want to have good relations with the U.S. based on mutual respect and clearly defined parameters,” he said in the interview at his residence in the eastern city of Lahore, at one point having to put up with a mischievous grandchild using a watch to reflect sunlight onto his face.

“I think that is doable. I think that it won’t take long.

We are not anti-American, we are part of the system, we have to work with the entire international community.”

PARIS (AP) — Seeking to restore confidence in the euro, the leaders of France and Germany jointly have called for changes to the European Union treaty so that countries using the euro would face automatic penalties if budget deficits ran too high.

But not everyone on Wall Street was reassured that Europe would get control of its 2-year-old debt crisis.

Stock prices rose and borrowing costs for European governments dropped sharply in response to the changes proposed on Monday by French President Nikolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel. But some of the optimism faded late in the day when Standard and Poor’s threatened to cut its credit ratings on 15 eurozone countries, including the likes of Germany, France and Austria, which have been considered Europe’s safest government debt issuers.

The announcement came only hours after Sarkozy and Merkel revealed sweeping plans to change the EU treaty in an effort to keep tighter checks on overspending nations. The proposal is set to form the basis of discussions at a summit of EU leaders on Thursday and Friday that is expected to provide a blueprint for an exit from the crisis.

While the Franco-German plan would tie the 17-eurozone nations closer together, a tighter union would likely also result in heavier financial burdens for the region’s stronger economies, which have already put up billions of euros to rescue Greece, Ireland and Portugal.

Analysts noted that the proposals did not foresee a clear roadmap on how to get the eurozone economies growing again and to reduce funding costs for struggling nations in the long term.

Many analysts have called on the European Central Bank to intervene in debt markets to lower struggling countries’ borrowing costs or the creation of eurobonds — debt backed by all 17 euro countries.

The euro fell after the S&P announcement, trading down 0.1 percent at $1.339, and trading in futures on the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average turned negative.

After the New York markets closed, S&P confirmed that it had placed 15 nations on notice for possible downgrades. Only two countries that use the euro weren’t affected: Cyprus already had that designation, and Greece already has ratings low enough to suggest that it’s likely to default soon anyway.

BUSINESS AT A GLANCE

Notable Service companies, which employ 90 percent of the U.S. work force, expanded at a slower pace in November and a measure of employment at those firms fell.

Separately, the government said orders to U.S. factories dropped for the second straight month.

Monday’s data show that the economy remains vulnerable despite recent signs of improvement. Still, economists said the broader message from other reports is that economic growth and hiring continue at a modest and steady pace.

Monday’s markets Dow Industrials +78.41, 12,097.83 Nasdaq +28.83, 2,655.76 S&P 500 +12.08 1,257.08 30-Year Treasury unchanged, 3.04% Corn (Chicago) —4.25 cents, $5.91 Soybeans (Chicago) —9.50 cents, $11.26 Wheat (Kansas City) —9.50 cents, $6.67 Oil (New York) +76 cents, $100.96 Gold —$16.80, $1,734.50 Silver —31.40 cents, $32.37 Platinum $116, $1,532.50

Plan to delay first-class mail could create headaches for some businesses

By Jonathan Fahey Associated Press

NEW YORK — Utility bills are paid, legal briefs are filed and the Christmas shopping all gets done online. But for magazines, clothing catalogues and movies, the mail still matters.

For some mail-dependent businesses, quick and cheap first-class mail service from the U.S. Postal Service is still the best way to reach prospective customers and subscribers. And for many, it’s still an important way to get paid.

The Postal Service, which has been losing money for five years, said Monday that it is shuttering more than 200 mail processing centers, adding at least a day’s wait for many first-class deliveries. The news was met with concern and frustration from some businesses — and shrugs from others that long ago stopped relying on the post office.

“It’s less of a disaster than it would have been 10 years ago, but it’ll be a cash flow crunch for some companies,” said Todd McCracken, president and chief executive of the National Small Business Association. “It’ll be longer to get your invoice and longer to get a check back.”

First-class mail is supposed to arrive at U.S. homes and businesses in one to three days; about 42 percent of it arrives in one day. The

cutbacks will back up deliveries to two to three days; periodicals could take up to nine days.

Cookie Driscoll of Fairfield, Pa., designs and sells decorative animal stickers to gift shops. She uses the Postal Service for almost all deliveries because prices are low and predictable, and delivery is fast. She also receives most of her income by paper checks through the mail.

“The trickle-down effect of this is going to be frustrating,” she said. “It’s not going to put me out of business, but it’s an irritant. Every time small businesses turn around, we get hit with something else.”

The change could represent an operational headache for L.L. Bean, which mails 250 million catalogues a year to sell outdoor clothing and equipment. Now the company knows the day its catalogues will arrive in homes, and it can put on extra staff at call centers on the appointed day. It won’t be able to do that anymore.

“We are increasingly concerned about any proposal that would degrade the level of service such as greater variability in delivery deadlines,” said Carolyn Beem, an L.L. Bean spokeswoman.

to return movies Monday and have new ones on Friday, according to Michael Pachter, an analyst at the investment firm Wedbush. But other users will notice a delay, he said.

Netflix — one of the Postal Service’s biggest customers, with expenses of up to $600 million a year — has repeatedly warned in regulatory filings that any Postal Service cutbacks that delay its DVD-by-mail deliveries will make it more difficult to keep subscribers happy. And, with encouragement from Netflix, customers are already abandoning mail service for movies delivered online.

But for many companies, the changes will have no effect. Some have already stopped relying on the Postal Service, moving online for billing or to overnight companies FedEx Corp. and United Parcel Service Inc. for critical deliveries. First-class mail volume is 78 billion per year, down from a peak of 104 billion in 2001. It is projected to drop by roughly half by 2020.

Romney, Gingrich too risky today

EDITORIALS

Tax talks State officials have once again declined to provide any information on the work of a group discussing major changes in the Kansas tax system.

G

ov. Sam Brownback says he intends to overhaul Kansas’ tax code and reduce or eliminate the state income tax as a way to grow the economy. This effort sounds good, but it also has naturally been met with concerns about how the state would fund education, social services and public safety.

The governor has not addressed those concerns, and the public has been largely kept in the dark about the task force he has selected to review the state’s tax structure and make recommendations about possible changes.

To try to shed some light on these discussions, the Journal-World made a request on Oct. 11 under the Kansas Open Records Act for access to or copies of minutes, agendas and policy papers of Brownback’s tax group.

The Kansas Department of Revenue dragged its feet on responding to the Journal-World’s request, citing its “extensive nature,” then said it would respond by Nov. 30. On Tuesday, Nov. 29, the state told the Journal-World it would not get the information it requested.

The committee and its work remain a mystery.

“To the extent that we have any records called for by your request, they are exempt from disclosure pursuant to K.S.A. 45-221(a) (2), (20),” the state Revenue Department’s Nov. 29 letter stated. That part of the Kansas Open Records law provides an exemption to the law that includes “notes, preliminary drafts, research data in the process of analysis, unfunded grant proposals, memoranda, recommendations or other records in which opinions are expressed or policies or actions are proposed, except (emphasis added) that this exemption shall not apply when such records are publicly cited or identified in an open meeting or in an agenda of an open meeting.”

However, because no meetings of the tax group have been announced or open to the public, work on a potential major change in how Kansas does business — and the names of those working on the plan — apparently will remain secret, at least for the time being.

Revenue Secretary Nick Jordan is heading the effort to give recommendations to Brownback. The former state senator from Johnson County enjoyed a good record as a forward-thinking legislator, and it is hoped he is providing solid, positive advice to the governor. However, to date, he has said nothing about the work other than to indicate the plan would be unveiled before the end of the year. Now, however, the governor’s office has said Brownback’s proposal likely won’t be outlined until his State of the State address to the Kansas Legislature on Jan. 11.

It is hoped that Brownback and his committee members will come up with a fair, sound and workable revised tax code that will be good for the state and all taxpayers.

It is unfortunate the public will not learn details of the plan until the governor delivers his address to state lawmakers.

WASHINGTON — Republicans are more conservative than at any time since their 1980 dismay about another floundering president. They are more ideologically homogenous than ever in 156 years of competing for the presidency. They anticipated choosing between Mitt Romney, a conservative of convenience, and a conviction politician to his right. The choice, however, could be between Romney and the least conservative candidate, Newt Gingrich.

Romney’s main objection to contemporary Washington seems to be that he is not administering it. God has 10 commandments, Woodrow Wilson had 14 points, Heinz had 57 varieties, but Romney’s economic platform has 59 planks — 56 more than necessary if you have low taxes, free trade and fewer regulatory burdens. Still, his conservatism-as-managerialism would be a marked improvement upon today’s bewildered liberalism.

Gingrich, however, embodies the vanity and rapacity that make modern Washington repulsive. And there is his anticonservative confidence that he has a comprehensive explanation of, and plan to perfect everything.

Granted, his grandiose rhetoric celebrating his “transformative” self is entertaining: Recently he compared his revival of his campaign to Sam Walton’s and Ray Kroc’s creations of Walmart and McDonald’s, two of America’s largest private-sector employers. There is almost artistic vulgarity in Gingrich’s unrepented role as a hired larynx for interests profiting from

such government follies as ethanol and cheap mortgages. His Olympian sense of exemption from standards and logic allowed him, fresh from pocketing $1.6 million from Freddie Mac (for services as a “historian”), to say “if you want to put people in jail,” look at “the politicians who profited from” Washington’s environment.

His temperament — intellectual hubris distilled — makes him blown about by gusts of enthusiasm for intellectual fads, from 1990s futurism to “Lean Six Sigma” today. On election eve 1994, he said a disturbed South Carolina mother drowning her children “vividly reminds” Americans “how sick the society is getting, and how much we need to change things. ... The only way you get change is to vote Republican.” Compare this grotesque opportunism — tarted up as sociology — with his devious recasting of it in a letter

to the Nov. 18, 1994, Wall Street Journal (http://bit.ly/vFbjAk).

And remember his recent swoon over the theory that “Kenyan, anti-colonial” thinking explains Barack Obama.

Gingrich, who would have made a marvelous Marxist, believes everything is related to everything else and only he understands how. Conservatism, in contrast, is both cause and effect of modesty about understanding society’s complexities, controlling its trajectory and improving upon its spontaneous order.

Conservatism inoculates against the hubristic volatility that Gingrich exemplifies and Genesis deplores: “Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel.”

Obama is running as Harry Truman did in 1948, against Congress, but Republicans need not supply the real key to Truman’s success: Tom Dewey.

Confident that Truman was unelectable, Republicans nominated New York’s chilly governor, whose virtues of experience and steadiness were vitiated by one fact: Voters disliked him. Before settling for Romney, conservatives should reconsider two candidates who stumbled early on.

Rick Perry (disclosure: my wife, Mari Will, advises him) has been disappointing in debates.

They test nothing pertinent to presidential duties but have become absurdly important. Perry’s political assets remain his Texas record and Southwestern zest for disliking Washington and Wall Street simultaneously and equally.

Jon Huntsman inexplicably chose to debut as the Republican for people who rather dis-

like Republicans, but his program is the most conservative.

He endorses Paul Ryan’s budget and entitlement reforms. (Gingrich denounced Ryan’s Medicare reform as “right-wing social engineering.”) Huntsman would privatize Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (Gingrich’s benefactor).

Huntsman would end double taxation on investment by eliminating taxes on capital gains and dividends. (Romney would eliminate them only for people earning less than $200,000, who currently pay just 9.3 percent of them.) Huntsman’s thorough opposition to corporate welfare includes farm subsidies. (Romney has justified them as national security measures — food security, somehow threatened. Gingrich says opponents of ethanol subsidies are “big city” people hostile to farmers.) Huntsman considers No Child Left Behind, the semi-nationalization of primary and secondary education, “an unmitigated disaster.”

(Romney and Gingrich support it. Gingrich has endorsed a national curriculum.) Between Ron Paul’s isolationism and the faintly variant bellicosities of the other six candidates stands Huntsman’s conservative foreign policy, skeptically nuanced about America’s need or ability to control many distant developments.

Romney might not be a Dewey. Gingrich might stop being (as Churchill said of John Foster Dulles) a bull who carries his own china shop around with him. But both are too risky to anoint today.

Keep it unique To the editor: If they build it, we may be done.

If our city commissioners vote today to approve development of a six-story Marriott hotel at Ninth and New Hampshire street, we will lose a small piece of one of our community’s most precious resources: the unquantifiable attribute we know as character or a sense of place. At Ninth and New Hampshire this is embodied in the diverse, creative patchwork of small buildings along the alley that’s home to the Social Service League and Lawrence Percolator.

By steadily replacing or invading what makes Lawrence beloved, unique and interesting with things that are cold, boring and generic, we are saying to residents and visitors that we value profit over community and development over character. It’s the wrong move. Let’s not let Lawrence’s vibrant historical neighborhoods and diverse cultural corridors be pushed aside and shaded out by high-rises and hotels. It’s not worth it.

Protect the river To the editor:

The Kansas River faces a new threat: Five private dredging companies are seeking to drastically increase dredging operations from 2.2 million tons to 3.2 million tons, a jump of almost 50 percent. A new study funded by the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks documents how these private dredging operations are causing significant damage to

the river, threatening public uses as well as fish habitat.

Friends of the Kaw has recently been briefed on the preliminary research results from Kansas State professors Melinda Daniels and Craig Paukert. The scientists have documented riverbed incision in dredged reaches, which is likely causing excessive bank erosion both upstream and downstream of dredge sites.

Highlights: !" Dredging in a sand bed river like the Kaw deepens and widens the river channel, causing erosion to the riverbanks. This causes a drop in both the water level of the river and the adjacent water table in the floodplain. In turn, this drop has the potential to affect municipal wells and intake pipes for water treatment plants. !" Dredge holes (some measuring 40 feet deep) migrate both up and downstream, sometimes very quickly depending on water flow. !" Fish habitat is significantly different around dredge holes. The impact of migrating dredge holes on tributaries could affect endangered species like the Topeka Shiner.

You have until Friday to email your public comment on the dredging expansion proposals to the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (kale.e.horton@usace.army.mil).

Too big a risk To the editor: The hotel proposed at 900 N.H. has become controversial. At a recent meeting, the developers indicated that they plan to request taxincrement financing (TIF) for the project. With TIF funding, the city

provides funding for development projects, in effect “betting” that tax revenues will increase sufficiently that the city can recover its investment later.

Consider an example. Washburn-Lane Parkway Renovation LLC was granted $5 million in TIF funding in 2006 to create apartments, town homes and retail space in the College Hill district of Topeka. However, only slight increases in tax revenues resulted, so Topeka is not recovering its money. The town homes are empty, the apartments 60-70 percent occupied and retail space mostly empty. The developers are not even paying their property taxes: $130,196.77 unpaid at last report (Topeka Capital-Journal, Oct. 28, 2010). Lawrence’s own Douglas Compton is among the developers.

The proposed Lawrence development includes a hotel, apartments, restaurant and retail space. Compton and colleagues are confident that it will increase tax revenues enough to merit TIF financing. And if not, as in Topeka? The city would eat the losses. Translation: If Compton’s development fails, the people of Lawrence pay for it. No TIF financing has as yet been requested, but the developers indicated that they would. Compton indicated that he was investing $6.5 million of the $18 million needed; clearly, the developers plan to draw much of the rest from TIF. As per Lawrence city resolution 6789, the developers will argue that this project is viable only with TIF funding. The final straw … Lawrence residents will end up paying for it.

Miller and Sedgwick County Sheriff Johnny Darr had recently returned from a three-day trip to “several communities” in California, where they had put authorities on the trail of people wanted in Kansas. “There is a group of people out there we want,” Miller said. “They are bond jumpers and forgers and are tied up in drugs. They take other names, and they are extremely difficult to ferret out.”

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Dec. 6, 1911: YEARS “While attempting AGO to save his little pet IN 1911 dog who had broken through the ice on the river, Albert Johnson, 10 years old, ventured too far out on the treacherous ice and was himself lost beneath the black icy waters of the Kaw River yesterday evening. ... About an hour later his cold, lifeless body was taken out of the watery grave, while the little dog for whom the boy had given his life walked up and down the bank, barking and whining plaintively.”

WEATHER TRIVIA™

Q: What makes the wind howl?

Missouri company banned from Kan. TOPEKA (AP) — Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt says a Missouri paving company can no longer do business in Kansas after violating the Kansas Consumer Protection Act. Cloud County District Judge Kim Cudney banned Quality Road Construction from doing business in the state and ordered three individuals to refund $19,500 to residents who lost money in their operation.

The ruling came after an investigation by the attorney general’s Consumer Protection Division.

Schmidt says the defendants allegedly defrauded at least three Kansas consumers by going door-to-door last summer offering to pave driveways.

The attorney general says the pavers did not disclose all of their charges at the time of the sale, and failed to advise the consumers of their rights under the Consumer Protection Act.

KANSAS MEN’S BASKETBALL

Self calls for harder, smarter play Tom Keegan

By Gary Bedore

Big-time coach wants KU job

Bill Self, who has had a lot to say to the media about the lackluster play of Kansas University’s basketball team after the MID-MAJOR last two games, discussed some the same concerns with his MATCH-UP of players on Sunday.

“He challenged us,” KU junior What: Kansas center Jeff Withey said before University (5-2) Monday’s practice in Allen Fieldvs. Long Beach house. “(He said) that we’re not State (4-3) playing up to the expectations we When: 8 p.m. should be, that we can be a really today good team. It’s all up to us. We have to play harder and smarter.

Where: Allen “It was a good talk. It was a Fieldhouse motivating talk — one that kind TV: ESPNU (Knol- of called us out,” Withey added ogy Cable chanof the words of KU’s ninthnels 35, 235) year coach. “We’ve got to be ready for the next two games.

For starters and If we can beat Long Beach State a preview of the and then Ohio State, that turns game, see page 3B around our team. It definitely can help us out a lot.”

Ideally, Kansas University needs to hire a football coach who has won a national championship, has Bill Self’s personality and Bill Snyder’s attention to every detail of a football program.

Impossible, right? Nobody who fits that description would be interested in one of the tougher coaching challenges in the BCS, right? Wrong and wrong.

Former Tennessee coach Phillip Fulmer is ready, willing and able to whip this fractured football program into shape, according to a Lawrence man who shared a four-bedroom Wichita duplex with Fulmer and two other young men in 1974.

“He told me a little over a week ago, ‘Let ’em know I’m interested,’” said local crop insurance man Rich Jantz. “The guy had a 152-52 record playing in the best conference in America!

He wanted the job two years ago, and they hired a guy who was 20-30 in a bad league?”

Jantz’s friendship with Fulmer started when the men worked in the Wichita State athletic department.

Fulmer Jantz was a tennis coach/ assistant athletic director, Fulmer an assistant football coach.

“He’s like Bill Self, the way they get along with people, that personality, that charisma,” Jantz said. “Bill’s got that knack, he doesn’t forget names, doesn’t forget people. Phillip’s that way. It’s unbelievable the way people just want to be around those two guys.”

Robbing a line from Ronald Reagan in his debate against Fritz Mondale, nobody should make an issue of Fulmer’s age, 61. His youth and inexperience relative to that of Snyder, 72, should not be held against him.

“Bill and Phillip would own the state of Kansas,” Jantz said.

Shortly after Lew Perkins had hired Gill after interviewing Fulmer and several others, Kansas played a basketball game in Knoxville. Jantz invited Self and Fulmer to lunch so they could meet. Who spots them 10 minutes into it and joins them?

Perkins.

“Phillip was very nice to him, first-class all the way,” Jantz said. “I can’t be that way, but Phillip handled it fine.”

Jantz said Fulmer, “is on top of everything, right down to a kid spelling a word wrong at Fantasy Camp. That’s the way football coaches have to be.

He’s in control of everything.

He’ll be busy doing something across the room, and I’ll be talking to someone else. He hears every word of it.”

But could Fulmer recruit Tennessee athletes to Kansas?

“At Tennessee, he recruited nationwide,” Jantz said. “You have to at Tennessee. It’s not the greatest job in the world as far as talent in your state.

Phillip did a hell of a job getting kids from all over the country.

And he put together a great staff.”

North Carolina wants Larry Fedora, and Texas A&M is interested. Not looking good for Kansas.

Hiring Fulmer two years ago would have resulted in Kansas being “off and rolling by now,” Jantz said.

Better late than never.

The No. 13-ranked (5-2) Jayhawks face a pair of home challenges this week in unranked (43) Long Beach State and No. 2 (8-0) Ohio State. Tip for today’s game against the 49ers, who already have a marquee road win over Pitt, is 8 p.m. Saturday’s game against the Buckeyes is set for a 2:15 p.m. start.

“We know what we have to do. We have to prove it on the court,” Withey said. “I think it’s going to be a different team just because of all the things coach talked about.”

KU senior point guard Tyshawn Taylor, who tonight faces a tough match-up in 5-10 senior Casper Ware (needs 44 assists to become the 49ers’ all-time assist leader), said of Sunday’s message: “Coach was asking questions and wanted to know how we were feeling about some things as a team.

We worked on some defensive stuff. Today we’re working

on offensive sets and getting prepared for a good team. They can come in and beat us if we’re not ready.”

Self is wary of a Dan Monsoncoached Long Beach State team that starts four seniors and a junior off a squad that won the Big West Conference title a year ago and is picked to win the crown again this year.

“If we look ahead to Saturday, we’ll go into Saturday’s game with three losses,” Self said Monday.

The 49ers have double-digit scorers in Ware (17.1 ppg, 4.6 apg), 6-5 guard Larry Anderson (15.1 ppg) and 6-8 forward T.J. Robinson (13.7 ppg, 11.3 rpg).

Guard James Ennis and forward Eugene Phelps chip in 9.4 and 9.1 ppg.

KU search may look for current head coach

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

With so many potential candidates and so little information surfacing, it can be difficult to dissect the Kansas University football program’s ongoing coaching search.

As the quest to find Turner Gill’s replacement enters Day 9 and moves forward after one of its quietest days to date, it seems safe to place the remaining candidates into a few different categories.

Former Texas Tech coach Mike Leach is off the table and Southern Miss star Larry Fedora — one of the hottest names on the planet — might not be an option for KU much Follow the longer.

Felatest news dora, whose from the KU stock soared coaching following last search on weekend’s 49Matt Tait’s 28 pounding “Tale of the of then-No. 6 Tait” blog.

Houston in the On KUSConference ports.com USA championship game, is rumored to be the top candidate at North Carolina, while Arizona State and Texas A&M are also in pursuit.

With Leach signing on at Washington State and the odds of landing Fedora dwindling, KU’s options shift to a couple of other groupings — former head coaches, current head coaches and current assistant coaches.

All three groups include worthy candidates, but sources have indicated that KU athletic director Sheahon Zenger may be inclined to stick to one of the key points in the criteria he outlined last week before hitting the road. If that’s the case, head coaching experience becomes key.

Many of the names kicked around as potential options for Kansas fit the criteria, with Dave Christensen (Wyoming), Troy Calhoun (Air Force), June Jones (SMU), Chris Petersen (Boise State), Sonny Dykes (Louisiana Tech) and Dave Doeren (Northern Illinois) all currently employed in the college ranks.

Gaining access to interview the guys who have jobs already is a little tougher than finding one’s way into a conversation with former head coaches such as Phillip Fulmer (Tennessee) and Houston Nutt (Ole Miss) or Jacksonville Jaguars offensive coordinator, Dirk Koetter, who was the head coach at Boise

BISHOP SEABURY SENIOR GUARD GARRETT GILLETT (10) GOES UP and is fouled by Kansas City-Harmon’s Alfred Hayes on Monday at the Eudora Invitational.

Slow start knocks Seabury boys out of rhythm in 62-52 loss

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

EUDORA — What could have served as a statement game for the Seabury Academy boys basketball team turned into an ongoing struggle Monday night in the first round of the Cardinal Invitational.

The Class 1A Seahawks, eager to knock off 5A Kansas City-Harmon, never could get into much of a flow and fell, 62-52.

Seabury (1-1) missed its first seven field-goal attempts in the loss to the Hawks (1-1). It wasn’t until 1:33 remained on the firstquarter clock that the Seahawks finally got on the scoreboard, when senior Jesse May cut to the paint and fellow senior Thomas Diaz found him for a layup.

But Seabury, which turned the ball over five times in the opening eight minutes, made just one other first-quarter basket — a swooping lay-in by sophomore Khadre Lane — as Harmon took a 12-4 lead entering the second.

Seahawks coach Ashley Battles said his team failed to execute on offense, and when players did get some shots, they rushed them.

“The slow start just absolutely put us on our heels the whole game,” Battles said.

The second-year coach said the Seahawks’ struggles were so bad that they even had problems doing very basic things, such as getting open to help out a stuck teammate.

Those types of issues contributed greatly to the team’s 21 turnovers in the game and, Battles said, really set Seabury back.

The rough start, Lane added, helped dictate the rest of the game. The sophomore, who went on to finish with 20 points and 10 boards, said the Seahawks’ poor defense became problematic.

Lane said the Seahawks were neither cutting off driving lanes nor controlling the defensive glass.

“We didn’t box out in the first quarter, and then it became a habit,” Lane said. “We need to get better on that.”

Harmon was out to a 22-8 lead midway through the second quarter before Seabury senior guard Garrett Gillett hit a three-pointer. Although the Seahawks were able to succeed in spots, Battles said they too often were trying to cut the Hawks’ big lead in a hurry, when they should have been steadily chipping away.

“Because we couldn’t get a shot to fall, everybody started pressing, and really tried to make something happen instead of allowing our offense to make something happen,” Battles said.

That, too, led to the high volume of turnovers, and before long Harmon was applying full-court pressure to further frazzle Seabury’s ball-handlers.

“We let them dictate the tempo,” Battles said.

Harmon’s lead was down to 10 by halftime, but Seabury turned the ball over four times in the first three minutes of the third quarter and trailed by 16. Eventually, Please see SEABURY, page 3B

Chargers burn hapless Jags, 38-14 JACKSONVILLE, FLA. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; This was the Philip Rivers everyone expected all season.

Rivers threw for 294 yards and three touchdowns, burning Jacksonvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s depleted secondary early and often, and the San Diego Chargers beat the Jaguars 38-14 on Monday night to snap a six-game losing streak. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a while,â&#x20AC;? Rivers said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was just good to win a game.â&#x20AC;?

The Chargers (5-7) could have used Riversâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; turnaround sooner.

The three-time Pro Bowl selection leads the NFL in interceptions (17) and turnovers (21), and was a key part of San Diegoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disappointing season.

He was nearly perfect against Jacksonville (3-9), adding to the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tumultuous week.

Rivers completed 22 of 28 passes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; hooking up with Vincent Brown, Vincent Jackson and Malcom Floyd for long scores â&#x20AC;&#x201D; before sitting out the final few minutes. He finished with a 146.1 QB rating, by far his highest of the season.

The Chargers scored on five of their first six drives, then sent most of the home crowd scrambling for the exits with Ryan Mathewsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 31-yard TD run in the fourth.

It was a much-needed victory for a team that trails Denver and Oakland by two games in the AFC West with four to play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to fight like crazy to get â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;em,â&#x20AC;? Rivers said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been here before and we believe we can do it. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to do our part and see if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enough.â&#x20AC;?

And it was another blow to the Jaguars, who endured the most sweeping changes in the 17-year history of the franchise last week.

SUMMARY

SAN DIEGO CHARGERS WIDE RECEIVER MALCOM FLOYD SCORES on a 52-yard touchdown reception against the Jacksonville Jaguars during the third quarter on Monday in Jacksonville, Fla. fired coach Jack Del Rio and announced he was selling the club to Illinois businessman Shahid Khan.

Interim coach Mel Tucker fired receivers coach Johnny Cox, reassigned quarterbacks coach Mike Sheppard and waived starting receiver Jason Hill. The moves seemed to invigorate a franchise that had seemingly gone stale in Del Rioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ninth season.

It made little difference on the field, mostly because Jacksonvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defensive injuries proved too much to overcome.

The Jaguars played without their top three cornerbacks â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Rashean Mathis, Derek Cox and Will Middleton â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and lost safety Dwight Lowery (shoulder) and defensive end John Chick (knee) during the game.

Rivers took advantage, picking on a pair of cornerbacks who were signed off the street in recent weeks.

Rivers threw a 22-yard TD pass to Brown and a 35-yarder TD to Jackson on the final two drives of the first half as the Chargers overcame a brief deficit to seize control.

The opening drive of the third quarter didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take long. On the fifth play, Rivers found Floyd deep down the right sideline for a 52-yard score. Floyd, activated Monday night after missing six games with a hip injury, beat Ashton Youboty badly on the play.

Floyd finished with four receptions for 108 yards.

It was the second TD given up

by Youboty, who was replaced on the next possession by Morgan

Harvard in, Baylor No. 6 in AP Top 25 The Associated Press

Harvard is in The Associated Pressâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Top 25 for the first time.

The Crimson are 8-0, with a victory over then-ranked Florida State. They are one of four teams to join the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s college basketball rankings, but Georgetown, Creighton and Illinois have all been regulars compared to No. 25 Harvard.

Kentucky (8-0) beat North Carolina on Saturday and holds the No. 1 spot for a second straight week. The Wildcats received 47 first-place votes Monday from the 65-member national media panel.

Ohio State (8-0) had the other 18 firstplace votes to remain second. Syracuse, which beat Florida last week, moved up a spot to third. North Carolina, Louisville and Baylor are fourth through sixth, each advancing a place.

Harvard is the first Ivy League school to be ranked since Princeton cracked the top 10 late in the 1997-98 season. The only other Ivy League school to be ranked since 1970 was Penn, which was last in the poll in January 1995.

The Crimsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stay among the basketball elite might not last long â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they play at No. 9 Connecticut on Thursday. The defending national champions beat Harvard 81-52 last season, when the Crimson shared the Ivy League championship with Princeton but lost a one-game tie-breaker for the NCAA tournament berth.

Duke, which lost to Ohio State, dropped from third to seventh and was followed by Xavier, Connecticut and Missouri.

Georgetown (7-1) moved into the rankings at No. 18, one place ahead of Creighton (7-0). Illinois (8-0) is 24th, one place in front of Harvard.

Marquette was 11th followed by Florida, Kansas, Wisconsin, Pittsburgh, Alabama, Mississippi State, Georgetown, Creighton and Michigan. The last five ranked teams were Memphis, Texas A&M, Gonzaga, Illinois and Harvard.

UNLV and Saint Louis both fell from the rankings after a one-week appearance while Vanderbilt and California also dropped out.

UNLV (8-1), which beat then-No. 1 North Carolina, fell out from 18th after losing at Wichita State on Sunday. Saint Louis (7-1) dropped out after losing at Loyola Marymount.

Vanderbilt (5-3) was No. 7 in the preseason Top 25 but has been playing without center Festus Ezeli. The Commodores lost to Xavier and Louisville, both in overtime. California (6-2) was 24th before losing to San Diego State on Sunday.

Cubs great Santo elected to Hall of Fame DALLAS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ron Santo always kept rooting for the causes dearest to him â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for his Chicago Cubs to win the World Series, for doctors to find a cure for diabetes and for him to reach the Hall of Fame.

On Monday, Cooperstown finally came calling.

The barrel-chested third baseman who clicked his heels in victory was elected to the Hall, overwhelmingly chosen by the Veterans Committee nearly a year to the day after he died hoping for this very honor.

Santo was a nine-time All-Star, hit 342 home runs and won five Gold Gloves.

He was a Cubs broadcaster for two decades, beloved by the home crowd for the way he eagerly cheered for his favorite team on the air, hollering â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes! Yes!â&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;All right!â&#x20AC;? after good plays Santo and groaning â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, no!â&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s badâ&#x20AC;? when things went wrong.

Shortly after the announcement, Santoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flag â&#x20AC;&#x201D; white with blue pinstripes, plus his name and No. 10 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was flying from the center pole atop the scoreboard at Wrigley Field.

Santo died Dec. 3, 2010, from complications of bladder cancer at age 70. He had diabetes, which eventually cost him both legs below the knees, and worked tirelessly to raise millions for research into the disease.

Eagles QB Vick set to return PHILADELPHIA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Eagles are finally getting their quarterback back.

Too little, too late.

Michael Vick, the NFCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s starting Pro Bowl quarterback a year ago, returned to practice Monday after missing three games with two broken ribs, and will play this weekend as last-place Philadelphia (4-8) meets the Miami Dolphins (4-8).

The Eagles were 1-2 without Vick.

Busch, Penske Racing split CHARLOTTE, N.C. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kurt Busch and Penske Racing parted ways Monday after six bumpy seasons, a split that clouds the former championâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future in NASCAR as he embarks on a personal journey to reclaim his passion for racing.

Both the team and driver said ending the relationship was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;mutual agreement,â&#x20AC;? but most believe Busch was fired in the fallout of yet another embarrassing incident. A fan caught Busch on video verbally abusing an ESPN reporter during last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season finale, and Busch was fined $50,000 by NASCAR after the clip was posted on YouTube.

WOMENâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S BASKETBALL

Baylor still No. 1 in AP Poll Baylor is the unanimous choice as the No. 1 team in The Associated Press womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s college basketball poll.

The Lady Bears received all 39 first-place ballots Monday after two easy victories this week. They host Milwaukee before heading to New York to play St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the Maggie Dixon Classic on Sunday.

Connecticut and Notre Dame remain second and third. The Huskies face defending national champion Texas A&M tonight. The Aggies fell from fourth to eighth after losing to then-No. 13 Purdue on Sunday.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Budget cuts spurred MU move KANSAS CITY, MO. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A decade of declining state funding for the University of Missouri enhanced the appeal of switching conference alignments from the Big 12 to the more financially stable and lucrative Southeastern Conference, the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chancellor said Monday.

The University of Missouri-Columbia plans to join the SEC in July under an arrangement announced with much fanfare last month by university and conference officials. The golden financial opportunities associated with the SECâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s powerful football programs were a much-publicized part of the deal. Chancellor Brady Deaton acknowledged Monday that repeated state funding cuts to the university also played a role his decision to make the switch.

NHL approves realignment PEBBLE BEACH, CALIF. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; NHL officials have approved a radical realignment plan that will give the league four conferences instead of six divisions.

The Board of Governors approved the move Monday at the first day of their meeting. The realignment wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be implemented until NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman discusses the new plan with the NHL Playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association.

The league needed to make changes to accommodate Atlantaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s move to Winnipeg this past summer. They could have switched one team from the Western Conference with the Jets but opted for a more dramatic plan.

There will be two conferences with eight teams and two with seven teams instead of the current format of six five-team divisions.

Teams will play five or six intraconference games and home-and-home series with nonconference teams.

“The only team that’s played like that so far is Kentucky, trying to run off everything. They are definitely an NCAA Tournament team.

This team will probably be the second most talented team we play at home in the nonconference without question (next to Ohio State).”

The 49ers may have history on their side. A Seth Greenberg-coached Long Beach State team stunned top-ranked KU, 64-49, on Jan. 25, 1993, in Allen Fieldhouse.

That KU team reached the Final Four.

“It was 18 years ago, I guess, they came in here and held Kansas to 49 points — a Kansas team that could really score,” Self said. “They’ll come in here ready to play.”

As far as his own team ... junior guard Elijah Johnson has scored five points in the last two home games off combined 1-for-11 three-point shooting.

“He’s been on fire shooting the ball. It’s been unbelievable. He’s been knocking it down,” Self said of Johnson’s accuracy at practice. “He’s been doing that for a while. It just hasn’t translated into the games. He says it feels good.

I’m not as much worried about his shot. I’m worried about his shot affecting his play, losing aggressiveness in other areas. He’ll make shots.”

Taylor has been talking to his backcourt buddy a lot of late. “Probably more than he likes,” Taylor said. “I keep telling him, ‘We need you to play, man.’ We need him to be one of the leading scorers on the team, assist man, steals. We need him to be a threat on the court all the time.

“I don’t think he understands how important he is to the team winning yet. I think he’s starting to understand it.”

The problem? “I think he’s not all the way in tune all the time,” Taylor said. “When he’s in tune, he can be a good defender. He’s as quick as anybody. We all know he can fly.

“It’s a lot easier said than done not getting down on yourself when you are not playing as well. It’s hard,” Taylor added of Johnson, who can be hard on himself.

“I think he has to go through that stuff and learn how to fight through it. He’s never been through this situation before. He’s learning. I think it’s a proven fact if you go through bumps in the road, there’s a stretch coming where you play really well. I think he’s about to go through that stretch.” !

Withey talk: Junior center Withey takes a 7.9 points, 5.3 rebounds average into tonight’s game. He’s blocked 14 shots in seven games.

“I haven’t blocked as many shots as I want to,” Withey said. “Being more aggressive, going after more loose balls and rebounds would definitely help us out.”

Taylor grinned when asked if Withey is a “laid back” person.

“That’s exactly who he is, always chillin’, never says too much,” Taylor said. “He throws little jokes in here and there. It’s funny because you are not paying attention to it. You are like, ‘That came from Jeff?’ I wish he’d talk more. That’s his personality, who he is.

“I would love to see him get mad more, honestly. I’d throw a basketball at him or anything. I’d love to see him mad. When he actually snaps and gets mad, it’s funny. One time in Maui he dunked it and got ‘and one’ and started screaming. I think the whole bench, even our coaching staff, cracked a little bit, like, ‘Really?’ It’s good to see he has that personality. I like Jeff. Jeff’s cool.”

Self conceded: “I think a mean streak would help, no question. He’s a nice kid.

Thomas (Robinson) is a nice kid, too. Hey, whenever we’ve needed rebounds in our biggest games, Jeff has been a factor: against Duke, Kentucky, UCLA in the first half. That’s a big-time factor.

He’s been as good a rebounder as we’ve had in stretches.

He just needs to be more consistent.”

State and Arizona State before jumping to the NFL. The reason? Common courtesy, according to KU associate athletic director Jim Marchiony, who said ADs often times will ask permission to speak to a coach who is under contract with another school.

“There’s no policy,”

Marchiony said. “It’s just what the athletic director feels is in the best interest of his school. Part of that is what the AD feels is in the best interest of any potential candidate, as well.”

Calls Monday, from the Journal-World to more than half a dozen athletic departments that employ coaches believed to be KU candidates, yielded little information about the depth of KU’s search. Most athletic directors either ignored inquiries about whether KU had

sought permission to contact their coaches or were unavailable. The only one who was reached, Louisiana Tech’s Bruce Van de Velde, said he had no comment at this time.

While head coaching experience seems to be a major bonus for candidates interested in landing the KU job, a handful of assistant coaches could remain in the hunt should Zenger choose to go away from the guys above.

Seabury

The coach was even more disappointed that the 1A team couldn’t get its first victory over a large-class school.

“This was our chance to get a ‘W’ and kind of break the seal and go from there,” Battles said. “But, hey, it’s a marathon, not a sprint.”

Lane, too, expressed dismay with the result, but said Seabury will have to recover quickly.

“We’ll have to use it as motivation,” he said of the loss, adding the Seahawks need to be more prepared for their second game at Eudora.

At 5 tonight, Seabury will face the loser of Monday night’s first-round game between Eudora and Bishop Ward.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

the Seahawks cut the deficit to seven after Lane snagged a free-throw miss by Diaz (18 points, eight boards) and put it in with 3:26 left in the quarter. But that was as close as they would get the remainder of the game.

Battles said Harmon did what it took to win, and that the Seahawks were disappointed to be knocked to the consolation bracket at the Eudora tourney.

“We’re playing this season for a championship, so this would’ve been a great way to get one,” he said.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

Griffin among five Heisman finalists NEW YORK (AP) — Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck entered the season as the overwhelming favorite to win the Heisman Trophy.

He will head to New York for the presentation of college football’s most famous player of the year award having relinquished front-runner status to another quarterback — one known as RG3.

Luck, along with Robert Griffin III, Trent Richardson, Tyrann Mathieu and Montee Ball are the Heisman finalists. The group, announced Monday on ESPN, will be at the presentation Saturday night in Manhattan.

It’s a return trip for Luck, the only repeat finalist this season, while Griffin is the first Baylor player to get an invite to the ceremony. The school has never had a player finish better than fourth in the Heisman voting, but now it seems to have the favorite.

“I’m sure it will be a really close vote,” Griffin told reporters in Waco, Texas, after watching the announcement with teammates and coaches.

Richardson is the second Alabama running back to be a finalist in the past three years.

Former teammate Mark Ingram won the Heisman in 2009.

Ball

Griffin

Ball has scored 38 touchdowns for Wisconsin and needs one more to match Barry Sanders’ NCAA record.

Mathieu, the LSU defensive back nicknamed “Honey Badger,” has made numerous game-changing plays for the top-ranked Tigers.

The field was deep this season and several deserving players didn’t make the cut. Most notable, Boise State quarterback Kellen Moore, a finalist last season, Southern California quarterback Matt Barkley and Houston’s record-breaking passer, Case Keenum, did not receive enough votes to be among the final five.

Ballots from the 926 voters, mostly media members and former winners, were due Monday evening.

Luck was the Heisman runner-up to Auburn’s Cam Newton last year and passed up a chance to be the No. 1

Luck

Mathieu

pick in the NFL draft to return to Stanford for his junior season. From the moment he made the decision to stay in school in January, he became the odds-on favorite to win the big bronze statue.

He had another stellar season, passing for 3,170 yards with 35 touchdowns while leading the Cardinal to an 11-1 record and a second-straight BCS bid. But the competition has been fierce and numerous contenders emerged.

The prognosticators now have Griffin as the most likely winner.

Heismanpundit.com, which has successfully predicted the past four winners with a straw poll of 13 voters, had Griffin as its top votegetter on Monday. Luck was second and Richardson third.

Stiffarmtrophy.com, which compiles ballots from voters who make their choices

public and has predicted the past nine winners, had Griffin winning by a comfortable margin over Luck, with Richardson Richardson third.

Griffin leads the nation in passer rating (192.3), with 3,998 yards and 36 touchdowns. He has also run for 644 yards and nine touchdowns. And much like Luck, Griffin has led a long-struggling program to its greatest success in decades. Baylor is 9-3 this season, its first nine-win season since 1986, including its first victory against Oklahoma.

“Baylor nation we’re in there,” Griffin said. “Now we just got to try to snatch it.

Hopefully the vote turns out our way.

“Being invited is an honor.

It’s not all that we want, but it’s a starting spot.”

The best showing a Baylor player has had in the Heisman voting was quarterback Don Trull’s fourth-place finish in 1963.

Richardson has been the unquestioned offensive engine for No. 2 Alabama. He’s

fifth in the nation in rushing at 131.9 yards per game and tied for fifth in touchdowns with 23. Richardson and the Crimson Tide will meet Mathieu and LSU in the BCS championship game on Jan. 9 in New Orleans.

The sophomore cornerback is the second defensive player to be a Heisman finalist in the past three years. Defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh of Nebraska finished fourth in 2009.

Mathieu, though, is more like Charles Woodson, the do-it-all defensive back who won the 1997 Heisman for Michigan.

Mathieu has forced five fumbles, intercepted two passes and scored four touchdowns, including two long punt returns in LSU’s past two games against Arkansas and Georgia.

He also was suspended for a game this season for violating the team’s drug policy.

Ball has been a touchdown machine for Wisconsin and ranks fourth in rushing at 135.3 yards per game. He has 12 more touchdowns than the next best player in the nation and if he can tack on two more in the Rose Bowl against Oregon, he’ll break Sanders’ record.

K-State, Arkansas’ losses are Cotton Bowl’s gain

By Dave Skretta Associated Press Sports Writer

Kansas State was picked to finish eighth in the Big 12. It wound up eighth in the BCS. That wasn’t good enough for the Sugar Bowl, which bypassed the Wildcats on Sunday night in favor of Michigan and Virginia Tech, big-name schools with lesser resumes. The snub didn’t sit well with many fans of Kansas State, which will instead play Arkansas in the Cotton Bowl.

It turns out to be a pretty good consolation prize.

While the Wildcats and Razorbacks can gripe over what many perceive as an unfair system, they will be lining up against each other at Jerry Jones’ showplace in Texas. Organizers say it then won’t matter at all that the Cotton Bowl was left out of the BCS. “It’ll have the feel of a national championship. Just ask Texas A&M and LSU last year,” said Cotton Bowl chairman Tommy Bain. “You really will forget about the BCS because you literally will think you’re in one of the finest bowl games going.”

All that will be missing is the BCS patch on the jerseys, the sticker on the back of the helmet — oh, and the millions of dollars difference between the Cotton Bowl payout and the one that comes from a BCS game.

Kansas State coach Bill Snyder, no stranger to bowl controversy, took a diplomatic approach to the Cotton Bowl bid, making sure not to diminish one of the Big 12’s longtime partners while at the same point making it clear that he believes the system has some fundamental flaws.

KANSAS STATE MASCOT “WILLIE THE WILDCAT” LEADS THE TEAM onto the field before a game on Saturday, Sept. 17 in Manhattan. The Wildcats will take on the Arkansas Razorbacks in the non-BCS-affiliated Cotton Bowl, despite finishing No. 8 in the BCS rankings. and finished the regular season without a win over a team currently in the Top 25.

“I want to play in the best bowl we can play in,” Kansas State wide receiver Chris Harper said. “We’ve got a good resume. Why shouldn’t we get in there?”

Fans of Arkansas are probably asking the same thing.

The Razorbacks lost only to LSU and Alabama, the two teams that will meet for a second time to decide the national champion. Yet because of a rule preventing three teams from a single conference making it into BCS games, Arkansas wound up in the Cotton Bowl, despite being No. 6 in the final standings — a full 17 spots ahead of Big East champion West Virginia, which will play in the Orange Bowl.

All of this is the Cotton Bowl’s gain.

Remember, this is the same bowl game that in 1960 crowned the national champion when Syracuse beat Texas.

And did so again in 1970, when the Longhorns beat Joe Theismann and Notre Dame to clinch the title. And where the Irish exacted their revenge on Texas in 1978, vaulting to first in the final poll with a 38-10 victory behind quarterback Joe Montana.

Arkansas and Kansas State have their share of Cotton Bowl memories, too.

The Razorbacks have played in it 11 times, behind only the Aggies and Longhorns for the most in the game’s 75-year history. The Wildcats lost to BYU in 1997, their first major bowl appearance under Snyder, and beat Tennessee 35-21 on a snowy New Year’s Day in 2001.

“That game was a pretty good example of the

toughness of Coach Snyder’s team,” said athletic director John Currie, who worked for the Volunteers at the time. “That was my first experience with Kansas State and it was a powerful one.”

Currie remembers about 50,000 fans painting Dallas purple that year, and he expects another big turnout for this year’s game. The school sold its allotment of 12,500 tickets last Wednesday, before the Wildcats knocked off Iowa State to finish 10-2 and even knew of their bowl destination.

The Cotton Bowl itself is already considered a sellout.

“Year in and year out, the Cotton Bowl is probably providing better matchups than many of the BCS bowls,” said Bain, the bowl chairman. “We recognize that we’re not a BCS bowl, but I’ll tell you ... it’s very competitive with the BCS.”

OXFORD, MISS. — Hugh Freeze choked up less than a minute after being introduced as Mississippi’s new football coach, acknowledging his wife and three daughters sitting on the stage behind him.

Freeze, 42, was named Ole Miss’ 37th football coach on Monday afternoon at a press conference on the university campus. He takes over for Houston Nutt, who was fired following one of the worst seasons in Ole Miss history.

The Rebels finished with a 2-10 record, including a 0-8 mark in the Southeastern Conference.

Freeze could be a considered a risky hire considering his relative lack of experience. When Ole Miss started its search, names like

Rich Rodriguez and Mike Leach were on the market, but the Rebels went with someone who’s coached on the college level for less than a decade.

Freeze, however, has capitalized on that short window of opportunity.

He comes to the Rebels from Arkansas State, where he led the Red Wolves to the 2011 Sun Belt Conference championship and 10-2 record in his first season as a coach at the Football Bowl Subdivision level.

program history and replacing the retired Howard Schnellenberger.

The Owls finished this season 1-11, tied with Akron, Indiana and New Mexico for the worst record in major college football, and were one of only five clubs nationally not to win a single game within their own conference.

This year, they were passed over along with Nos. 6 Arkansas, 8 Kansas State and 9 South Carolina.

During a press conference Monday, Petersen said the system needs to be changed, perhaps by using a committee like the men’s basketball tournament to rank the teams.

— Cotton Bowl chairman Tommy Bain It was under Snyder that the Wildcats lost in doubleovertime in the Big 12 title game in 1998, their only defeat of the season, and slid from the national title game to the Alamo Bowl.

“Well, we’re in it, so there’s not a whole lot I can do to change it,” he said of the BCS. “It’s very distinct how the No. 1 and No. 2 teams are placed, and yet it doesn’t seem to follow suit with how the No. 3 and No. 4 and No. 5 and No. 6 and No. 7 and No. 8 are placed.

“If there was something to be adjusted,” he said, “I would suggest it might be in that area.”

Kansas State beat Baylor and Texas, which were both ranked when they played, and lost only to Big 12 champion Oklahoma State and Oklahoma. The Wildcats finished second in what was generally regarded as the toughest conference, from top to bottom, this season.

But a modest fan base and national following, at least compared to those of Michigan and Virginia Tech, may have been its undoing. It sure wasn’t the results on the field.

The Wolverines lost to Iowa, which finished 7-5, and to Michigan State, which fell to Wisconsin in the Big Ten title game. The Hokies were dominated by Clemson twice, including 38-10 on Saturday in the ACC championship,

BOWL GAMES AT A GLANCE

Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer is well aware that the No. 17 Hokies were one of the most controversial teams included in the BCS bowl lineup, and he has a ready defense of his program.

The Hokies will play No. 13 Michigan, another controversial choice, in the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 3 in Louisiana. The selection committee chose them over No. 8 Boise State and No. 11 Kansas State, nothing that the Virginia Tech and the Wolverines have rich traditions and larger followings.

“I don’t think we have to apologize to anyone,” Beamer said, noting that the Hokies are the winningest football team since 1995, the one team to have won at least 10 games in each of the past eight seasons.

The Hokies, Beamer noted, also have been on the other side of the decision.

In 2001, Michael Vick’s final season as the quarterback, Virginia Tech finished the year ranked fifth in the BCS standings, but lost out on a spot in a BCS game to No. 11 Notre Dame.

It’s OK to worry about son, but don’t confront him Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

contact. But our main concern is whether your son is OK. Is it unusual not to have heard from him since June, despite your birthday card and phone messages? You might want to call once more and tell him you are worried about his well-being.

Dear Annie: I remember all of the letters about how to hang the toilet paper. I have a different question on the subject.

Several of my friends just prop the roll of toilet paper on top of the cylinder instead of sticking the roller through the hole in the paper. People then pick up the roll with their hands and remove as much as they need.

This might not be so bad, except that some people use the roll more than once on the same bathroom visit. Also, sometimes the toilet paper is dropped on the floor before being re-propped.

Premiere shows that ‘Hidden City’ is anything but Have attitude, will travel. That philosophy has worked for Travel Channel star Anthony Bourdain. Now the cable network hopes it can do the same for crime novelist Marcus Sakey and his new series, “Hidden City” (9 p.m.).

In each episode, Sakey visits a new city and hopes to reveal its dark stories and hidden underground vapors in an attempt to discover the true character of each town.

Sakey is a writer, and he reminds us of his profession early and often. He treats each new journey as a research project for a possible novel, with each city being the main protagonist.

His first trip is to his hometown of Chicago. Like Bourdain, Sakey curses a lot, or at least he seems to under the muffling blanket of bleeps. And like the host of “No Reservations,” he makes pointed, if obvious, references to pop culture trends that annoy him. Beating boy bands like a pinata, he compares them to the evil of Hitler and Stalin. It somehow seems forced, not to mention dated.

Sakey spends a great deal of his time in Chicago discussing H.H. Holmes, arguably America’s first and sickest serial killer. Holmes preyed upon visitors to the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893. Hardly ripping the lid off some dark secret in the city’s history, Sakey rehashes the contents of “The Devil in the White City,” the definitive best-selling book on the subject by Erik Larson.

Sakey also revisits the Democratic National Convention riots of 1968. Whatever your opinion of those politically charged outbursts, the demonstrations were hardly an obscure event in Chicago or an untold story. They were broadcast by every major network. Live. In fact, one of the protesters’ slogans was, “The Whole World’s Watching.” So what are they doing on a show about “hidden” Chicago?

Well, the demonstrations do provide a neat chance for Sakey to insert himself in the story and even get pepper-sprayed!

I think our novelist host needs to dig deeper for original ideas.

Fans of holiday specials have so few options. They should pounce on “A Michael Buble Christmas” (7 p.m., NBC).

Like any Hallmark movie, these efforts are best appreciated for their casting.

Where else can you find both Oscar the Grouch and Kellie Pickler? Tracy Morgan and Justin Bieber? Look for Ed Helms, the Puppini Sisters and Naturally 7 as well.

Tonight’s other highlights

Sam (Chord Overstreet) returns on “Glee” (7 p.m., Fox).

Jess asks some awkward questions on “New Girl” (8 p.m., Fox).

A dish best served cold on “Raising Hope” (8:30 p.m., Fox).

Only Carrie can tell if a maid is a victim or a fraud on “Unforgettable” (9 p.m., CBS).

“Body of Proof” (9 p.m., ABC) examines the chances of a lottery winner being murdered.

Jax tries to wrap up the deal with the Irish on the season finale of “Sons of Anarchy” (9 p.m., FX).

Several times I have made remarks regarding how unhealthy this habit may be, but they just laugh. Although they are otherwise hygienic, these people seem to have more upset stomachs than our other friends.

When I visit their houses, I carry folded toilet paper in my purse in order to avoid using their well-handled rolls. They tease me for being germophobic, saying everyone washes their hands before leaving the bathroom.

But what if they first brush the hair out of their eyes or touch their mouths before washing their contaminated

hands? Is this healthy? — One Who Wants the Tissue Hung Properly Dear Tissue: This seems less an issue of hygiene than one of laziness. We are unaware of any studies that differentiate between using a propped-up roll of toilet paper versus one on a roller.

But we can tell you that the probability of having the roll fall on the floor (or in the toilet) makes it automatically less sanitary than using the roller. And by the way, it is highly unlikely that all those who use the bathroom wash their hands with soap and water before leaving.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Tuesday, Dec. 6: Understand that negativity breeds more negativity. At times this year you could feel pushed to the max. If you are single, you could meet someone incredibly upbeat, happy and close to perfect. Careful — make sure you are not projecting. If you are attached, the two of you could have a very special year if you would just lighten up. Taurus is anchored but can be dull at times.

Dear Annie: My husband and I have three adult sons.

The oldest and youngest are married, but the middle son (age 56) is not. He has his own house in our neighborhood and has had a younger man living with him for many years. We assume our son is gay, which is fine, but he has never admitted it.

The last time we saw our son was Father’s Day. I sent him a birthday card in late July and asked why we haven’t heard from him. I reassured him that we love him.

I received no response. We then called and left phone messages twice. Still no word.

When we do get together, our son is friendly, pleasant and charming. However, we are hurt and disappointed that he never invites us over, nor does he keep in touch other than a few times a year.

Should we just accept this behavior or confront him in person by showing up at his home? — Pariahs, Not Parents Dear Parents: Oh, please don’t do that. Some children are not comfortable having their parents over, and an unexpected visit would likely make matters worse.

If you believe the “younger man” is his partner, we hope you have welcomed both of them to your home. Your son might appreciate your acceptance of this man as part of his life, and it may make him more amenable to closer
