Trash, in one form or another, will be a hot topic at Lawrence City Hall in 2011.

The city has at least two projects that revolve around refuse and what to do with it.

First is the former Farmland Industries site. The city already is on the way to f iguring out what to do with the old buildings, equipment and other debris on the 467-acre site Part 1 in a series: on the eastTHE CITY ern edge of Lawrence near Kansas Highway 10.

Lawrence-based R.D. Johnson Excavating has been hired to demolish the majority of the buildings and equipment at the former fertilizer plant. Now, it is just a matter of how quickly it gets done. Johnson hopes to start in early January and finish by June.

Then, city officials said the work of converting the property into a business park will begin.

“We’re going to see some progress on Farmland in 2011,” said City Commissioner Aron Cromwell, who, if tradition holds, will take over as mayor in April. “We’re absolutely going to start talking to businesses about locating there.”

3-month-old’s return from hospital the best gift ever Baby undergoes first of 3 heart surgeries for rare congenital defect

Baby Corah updates To follow Corah Lee Miller’s story, visit her website on CaringBridge.org. It’s called babygirlmiller.

First Southern Baptist Church also has set up a Corah Lee Miller medical fund at KU Credit Union.

By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

Three-month-old Corah Miller was content sitting on her mother’s lap. She sucked on her fingers, cooed and smiled.

You’d never know she was born with a rare congenital heart defect.

The left side of Corah’s heart is severely underdeveloped. Her condition is called hypoplastic left heart syndrome, and about 1,000 babies are born with it each year in the United States.

The job of the left side of the heart is to pump oxygenated blood to the organs. Without treatment, it is unusual for a baby to survive more than a few weeks. ●●●

Her parents, Brandy and Andy Miller, both 33, of Lawrence, learned of Corah’s condition at 20 weeks of pregnancy.

The couple — who had three healthy children — were overwhelmed.

“It was completely unexpected and a very scary time,” Brandy said.

Andy’s mother, Joan Miller, of

ANDY AND BRANDY MILLER and their family are especially happy this holiday season because they finally have the youngest member of the family, Corah, 3 months, home after she spent many weeks at Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston undergoing treatment, including surgery, for a rare congenital heart defect. At home with Corah from left are Carter, 6, Andy, Aidan, 4, Brylee, 2, Brandy and Corah.

Derby, spent weeks helping them research hospitals that treated the condition, which has no cure. They picked Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston.

The hospital treats up to 25 HLHS cases per year. These cases are treated with a heart transplant or by a series of three operations, with the

f irst at infancy. The second is between 3 and 6 months, and the third is between 3 and 5 years. The three-stage procedure allows the right side of the heart to do the work that the left side couldn’t.

On Sept. 8, Corah was born at fullterm, and seven days later she had the first surgery.

“She had so many things hooked up to her and was on a ventilator. Just seeing her on the ventilator, even though I knew that was going to happen, it just took my breath away,” Brandy said.

Dr. E. Dean McKenzie, who was Corah’s heart surgeon, said 90 percent of patients survive the first surgery. He said the second and third surgeries are considerably less risky. ●●●

City has 2 big trash projects ahead “

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

The second trash issue may be less clear cut. City commissioners plan to do a thorough review of the city’s solid waste division to determine how it can become more efficient and more financially self-sustaining. Cromwell said he plans to chair a task force that will look at a host of issues, including possibly privatizing the city-operated service.

But already it is appearing that option may be a tough sell at City Hall.

“We’ll have a discussion about privatization and look into it,” Cromwell said. “I personally don’t believe that is the way to go, but we’ve opened up the discussion and we won’t ignore it.”

Mayor Mike Amyx also indicated that privatization wasn’t at the top of his list either.

“We’ll have a discussion about what the future will look like, but I can’t say enough that we have an extremely good service today,” Amyx said. “It is just really hard to beat.”

Cromwell, though, said he does think there are some possibilities for change. He said increased automation — which could include new trucks and a mandate that residents use special trash carts — will get reviewed.

That option could draw a lot of discussion, especially since automation could end up reducing the number of people required to staff each trash truck. More automation, though, may make a cityrun curbside recycling program more feasible.

“I’m fully expecting solid waste and recycling to take a lot of time, a lot of effort and a lot of meetings over the next year,” Cromwell said. “But we’ll work through it.”

Other issues that are expected to come up at City Hall: ● The idea of a new West Side recreation center probably will get some discussion, Cromwell said. The project isn’t in the 2011 budget, but commissioners likely will at least consider putting some money for the project in the 2012 budget, which will be crafted next summer. ● Figuring out when to restart plans for a new sewage treatment plant that could cost upwards of $90 million

We’ll have a discussion about what the future will look like, but I can’t say enough that we have an extremely good service today. It is just really hard to beat.”

— Mayor Mike Amyx will be a decision that commissioners will have to make at some point. The city already has purchased property for the new plant, which will be south of the Wakarusa River near where O’Connell Road would be if O’Connell continued south of the river.

Commissioners halted design of the plant after it became clear the city’s growth had slowed. But it will take multiple years for the plant to be built, so figuring out when to get started in order not to fall behind future sewer treatment demands will be key, Cromwell said.

“I would be a little surprised if now was the time for it, but we certainly can’t ignore it,” Cromwell said. ● Street maintenance will continue to be a frequent topic at City Hall. The city’s major street rebuilding project will be Kasold Drive from Clinton Parkway to near 31st Street. The city also plans to do major repaving work on Sixth Street between Massachusetts and Iowa and also between Monterey Way and Folks Road. The northern section of Kasold Drive between Fifth Terrace and Peterson Road also will be repaved and receive upgrades.

“People have a right to demand good streets, and we’ll continue to work on that,” Amyx said. ● City Commission elections — as they do every two years — have the chance to change the majority on the commission. Seats held by Commissioners Rob Chestnut, Mike Dever and Lance Johnson are up for election.

Dever has filed for re-election, but the other two commissioners have not yet said whether they plan to seek a second term. The general election will be April 5.

Woman’s 2006 killing remains unsolved OTTAWA — This week marks four years since the body of an eastern Kansas woman was found in a field near her hometown, and authorities are appealing again for any information about the killing.

Forty-seven-year-old Tonie L. Standley lived in Quenemo, about 35 miles southeast of Topeka. She was last seen alive Dec. 7, 2006, at her home in the town of about 450 people near the Osage-Franklin county line.

P E T E R S O N A IR F O R C E B A S E , COLO. — Some kids who call NORAD on Christmas Eve to find out where Santa is hang up as soon as a volunteer answers the phone — probably because they expected a recording and not a real person, veteran Santa trackers say.

There were some especially awed kids Friday when one of the people answering the phone was first lady Michelle Obama.

A telephone link from Hawaii, where the Obamas are on vacation, allowed her to pitch in with volunteers at Peterson Air Force Base, Colo., who were answering phone calls and e-mails for the North American Aerospace Defense Command’s Santa-tracking program.

“I was ecstatic because I was talking to the president’s wife,” said Evan Race, 10, of Springfield, Ill. He and his family were in North Carolina for the holidays when they decided to call NORAD. “I was really surprised,” said his 8-year-old sister, Anna. Seven-year-old Colin Race also got to talk with Obama.

The White House said she took calls for 40 minutes and spoke with children from at least a dozen families.

It’s believed to be the first time in the 55-year history of the event that a first lady joined in, said Jamie Gray-

beal, NORAD’S deputy chief of staff for communications.

NORAD Tracks Santa, the official name of the program, began in 1955 when a Colorado Springs newspaper ad invited kids to talk to Santa on a hotline. The phone number had a typo, and dozens of kids wound up dialing the Continental Aerospace Defense Command in Colorado Springs, the predecessor to NORAD. The officers on duty played along and began passing along reports on Santa’s progress. It’s now a cherished ritual at NORAD, a joint U.S.Canada command that monitors the North American skies and seas from a control center at Peterson.

“It’s really ingrained in the NORAD psyche and culture,” said Canadian Forces Lt. Gen. Marcel Duval, the deputy commander of NORAD, who pitches in to field French-language calls on Christmas Eve. “It’s a goodwill gesture from all of us, on our time off, to all the kids on the planet.”

Duval is careful to say that tracking Santa doesn’t interfere with the work of watching out for enemy threats to the North American continent.

Last year, NORAD Tracks Santa answered 74,000 calls and 3,500 e-mails, and organizers expect to top that this year.

Although the program is aimed at children, the volunteers answering the phones have a welcome bit of news for parents, too: St. Nick won’t stop at homes unless all

The couple were grateful that Joan was able to take care of their other three children: Carter, 6; Aidan, 4; and Brylee, 2. She cleaned, cooked and did the laundry.

“It took me back 30 years. I forgot how busy mothers of young children are,” she said.

“For me, the most difficult part was disciplining the children. I couldn’t be just grandma.”

The couple also received an outpouring of support from family, friends and especially their church.

“They’ve done tons of things for us,” Brandy said.

They’ve provided meals twice a week. They also held a spaghetti dinner fundraiser and opened a medical fund account at KU Credit Union, which has raised $5,000.

So far, Corah’s medical costs have been more than $400,000.

The couple have health insurance, which they are thankful for, but the company has denied covering a majority of the costs. The couple hope that changes.

A few days later, Brandy caught a special moment between 2-year-old Brylee and Corah.

“She had books and was reading them to her baby sister, and the sweetest part was she was holding her hand,” Brandy said.

Corah requires extra care because of her condition.

She takes four medications and needs to be fed every three hours. Her heart rate, oxygen-saturation levels and weight are checked daily.

She goes to a Kansas City cardiologist every two weeks and gets an electrocardiogram test. She also gets a shot once a month.

Her parents keep her isolated, so she doesn’t get sick and end up in the hospital.

They don’t take her out in public, and they restrict visitors. ●●●

the kids are asleep.

Volunteer Liz Anderson said that when she tells kids that, she will sometimes hear parents say, “See! I told you.”

It takes four months of planning to marshal the 1,200 volunteers, 100 telephones, 30 laptops and two big projection TV screens the exercise requires, NORAD spokeswoman Joyce Frankovis said.

All the labor is volunteer.

Google, Verizon, Air Canada, defense contractor Booz Allen Hamilton and others chip in.

On Friday, volunteers answered calls and e-mails in two conference rooms in a building not far from NORAD’s headquarters. In a separate room, a three-member team fired out tweets and Facebook updates, checking against a schedule marked with a secrecy warning that said “Santa’s Eye Only.”

Civilian and military staff wore blue Santa hats with “Special Operations Elf ” written on the white trim.

“It is tremendously fun,” said Jim Jenista, NORAD’s deputy chief for joint training exercises who has been volunteering to answer the phones for nearly a decade.

NORAD insiders drop hints about how they track Santa — “ultra-cool, hightech, high-speed digital cameras,” radar, satellites and Canadian Forces fighter jets.

But any inquiry into the technological particulars is met with a polite rebuff and a cryptic explanation involving the magic of Christmas.

She faces two more surgeries, and the next is scheduled for February.

Her long-term prognosis is unknown. The three-surgery procedure has been around only since the mid-’80s.

Therefore, the earliest survivors are in their mid 20s.

Texas Children’s Hospital performed its first HLHS surgery in 1995.

“Over years, the extra workload can make the right heart begin to fail,” Dr. McKenzie said.

“We think that most patients will ultimately undergo heart replacement or transplant.”

He knows of a 19-year-old boy who had HLHS surgery in 1991 and is awaiting a heart transplant at Texas Children’s Hospital.

McKenzie said Corah is doing well. He expects she will be able to think, run and play like her peers, but she may tire more easily.

Right now, she giggles, rolls onto her side and bats at objects.

Her grandma can’t wait to see her at Christmas.

“It will be magical,” Joan said. “We are very blessed.

SISTER CITIES

1 | WEST BANK

Bethlehem celebrates merry Christmas The traditional birthplace of Jesus is celebrating its merriest Christmas in years, as tens of thousands of tourists thronged Bethlehem on Friday for the annual holiday festivities in this biblical West Bank town.

Officials said the turnout was shaping up to be the largest since 2000. Unseasonably mild weather, a virtual halt in Israeli-Palestinian violence and a burgeoning economic revival in the West Bank all added to the holiday cheer.

By nightfall, a packed Manger Square was awash in red, blue, green and yellow Christmas lights.

Merrymakers blasted horns, bands sang traditional Christmas carols in Arabic, boy scout marching bands performed and Palestinian policemen deployed around the town to keep the peace.

Bethlehem used to attract tens of thousands of tourists from around the world for Christmas celebrations, but attendance dropped sharply following the outbreak of the second Palestinian uprising in 2000.

As the fighting tapered off over the last five years, attendance steadily climbed. Israeli officials have said they expect about 90,000 visitors in Bethlehem during the current two-week holiday season, up from 70,000 last year.

KU musicians heading to Eutin

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

Seven musicians from Kansas University’s School of Music — including its dean — will perform in Eutin, Germany, in January, and could pave the way for another invitation later in the summer.

Lawrence’s sister city in Germany asked the musicians to play in the city this winter, and if all goes well it could mean about 70 representatives from KU could travel back to Germany in the summer for a major summer festival in the city.

This January, David Neely, KU’s symphony orchestra direc-

tor, will play the piano and Dean Robert Walzel will play clarinet.

Five KU students will also be featured: Lukasz Lagun, violin; Robert McNichols, bass baritone; Hugo Vera, tenor; Amy Cahill, soprano; and Kristian Bucy, soprano.

The 60-year-old summer open-air music festival in Eutin

typically attracts between 30,000 and 40,000 people, Neely said. That’s well above the city’s population of about 17,000.

The festival is a nod to one of Germany’s noted opera composers, Carl Maria von Weber, who was born in Eutin.

2 | WASHINGTON, D.C.

Biden says gay marriage ‘inevitable’ Vice President Joe Biden predicted Friday the evolution in thinking that will permit gays to soon serve openly in the military eventually will bring about a national consensus for same-sex marriage.

Changes in attitudes by military leaders, those in the service and the public allowed the repeal by Congress of the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy, Biden noted in a nationally broadcast interview on Christmas eve.

“I think the country’s evolving,” he said on ABC’s “Good Morning America. “And I think you’re going to see, you know, the next effort is probably going to be to deal with so-called DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act).” He said he agreed with Obama that his position in gay marriage is “evolving.”

Gay marriage is legal in only a handful of states, mostly in the Northeast, and in Iowa. President Barack Obama recently said his feelings on the gay marriage issue were in a state of transition. But he also said he still believes in allowing strong civil unions that provide certain protections and legal rights that married couples have.

3 | TENNESSEE

Storm heading south, flights canceled A Christmas Eve snow storm that blanketed parts of the Midwest was expected to bring rare Christmas Day snowfall to parts of the Southeast, prompting some airline flight cancellations and delays.

After dumping at least 7 inches of snow in parts of Iowa by Friday morning, the storm was predicted to dip south into Tennessee and Georgia today, then move north Sunday. Winter weather advisories were in effect from Kansas east to Kentucky and from Minnesota south to Arkansas on Friday.

The National Weather Service said that for the first Christmas in 17 years, Nashville and Atlanta could get more than just a dusting of snow.

The storm was expected to intensify and move northeast on Sunday to the mid-Atlantic states and New England.

Delta Air Lines spokesman Morgan Durrant said 500 weather-related flight cancellations were planned for today nationwide. That included 300 of the 800 scheduled departures from the Atlanta hub.

Durrant said those affected had been notified.

4 | SOUTH KOREA

N. Korea praises ‘iron-willed commander’ North Korea could be planning another nuclear test for next year, a South Korean think tank warned, as Pyongyang celebrated the anniversary of leader Kim Jong Il’s elevation to military chief, calling him “an invincible and iron-willed commander.”

The 19th anniversary of Kim’s being named supreme commander of the Korean People’s Army came a day after South Korea held massive drills near the world’s most heavily armed border — part of a series of exercises that have angered the North and prompted it to threaten to launch a “sacred” nuclear war if attacked.

Heated rhetoric has increasingly been heard from both sides, as tensions have soared between the rivals in the month since a North Korean artillery barrage on a South Korean island killed four people.

I took Camilla by the hand and left the apartment.

Jacob, the handyman, spotted me in the parking lot.

I nodded my hello to him and headed for the car.

Busy day for me, he said.

Gotta take care of these empty apartments. No new tenants for the past three months.

I nodded again. Camilla CALL SOUND OFF and I are going to the supermarket, I said.

She didn’t seem upset by the collision.

I’m terribly sorry, I stammered.

Think nothing of it, she said. I’m glad your bag of groceries didn’t take a tumble.

Brittany Rask, Before I could say anyhomeschooled junior, thing else, she stooped and Lawrence gave Camilla a hug. You’re a “Rudolph.” pretty little girl, Camilla.

I frowned. How did she know her name? Did I mention it?

I just love little children, the stranger said.

I took Camilla’s hand.

Well, I must be on my way.

She gently touched my arm. I should introduce myself. My name’s Hadraniel, but you can call me Hadry. May I ask a favor of you?

Sure.

I recently moved into an apartment, she said, and I ordered way too much food from a caterer as I was Ruthie Ozonoff, expecting company.

Hadry blinked with anxiety. Please. I really hate to eat alone.

I turned to Camilla. What do you say? Would you want to have dinner tonight with this nice lady?

Camilla smiled broadly and nodded.

Then it’s set, Hadry said.

See you at seven?

Sure. Oh wait, where do you live?

At the Willows. Apartment 315.

I took in a deep breath.

That was my apartment complex. And 315 was just upstairs from me. I shrugged and took Camilla home, glad that at least tonight we wouldn’t have to eat rice and toast again like we did last night.

Festive feast Seven o’clock found me hesitating at the door to Hadry’s apartment. I found it embarrassing not to have anything better to wear than the same denim skirt I wore at the supermarket. As soon as I knocked, the door opened and Hadry welcomed us inside.

The windows had red drapes, the floor plush blue carpeting, and the walls were decorated with landscape paintings. In the corner of the room was a Christmas tree. I must have stood with my mouth agape for a while because Hadry asked me if anything was wrong.

Why no, I answered. I can’t believe what you’ve done to this apartment. And Jacob said we hadn’t had any new tenants.

Hadry entered the kitchen and emerged with plates and silverware. If you want, she said, you can help me bring all this food to the table.

I’d be more than happy to, I answered. I was amazed at the array of dishes she had — roast turkey with chestnut dressing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie. I wanted to ask her whom had she been expecting for company with all this food, but I figured it was probably none of my business.

I thought, however, there’d be no harm in asking her what she did for a living.

She tilted her head in thought about my question.

I’m a consultant for people who are facing serious problems, she said.

Like a social worker?

Sort of. By the way, you haven’t touched your pie yet.

I’ve eaten more than I have for some time, I said. It was very kind of you to invite Camilla and me. Your tree looks wonderful.

Hadry turned to look at it.

Yes, it does, doesn’t it? Did you notice there are some presents under it?

I hadn’t noticed. Yes, there were two gifts under the tree.

Hadry excused herself from the table and went to pick them up. Both presents were wrapped in white tissue

LAW ENFORCEMENT REPORT

• One person was transported by ambulance to Lawrence Memorial Hospital following a car-pedestrian traffic accident.

According to Lawrence Police Sgt. Randy Roberts, the accident occurred in the 600 block of Folks Road near the Sixth Street intersection about 7:20 p.m.

Friday. A 40-year-old Lawrence woman was driving southbound on Folks Road in a black SUV when she struck a 51-year-old Lawrence woman who was crossing the street.

The woman was taken to LMH with injuries Roberts said were serious but not believed to be life-threatening.

• A 17-year-old Tonganoxie boy was injured in a one-vehicle accident Friday afternoon.

According to a report from the Kansas Highway Patrol, the accident occurred just after 1:30 p.m. on U.S. Highway 40 near the Tonganoxie city limit. The vehicle was traveling northeast on Tonganoxie Road when the driver became distracted and left

the roadway. The vehicle struck a concrete barrier and overturned. The boy was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, where a condition update was unavailable Friday evening.

• A 62-year-old Gardner man died in a two-vehicle accident on Interstate 35 in Ottawa on Friday afternoon.

According to a report from LAWRENCE the Kansas Highway Patrol, the accident occurred near mile marker 187 about 5:18 p.m. The victim and his passenger were traveling southbound when another vehicle traveling northbound crossed the median and struck the second vehicle headon.

Condition updates for the passenger, a 50-year-old Wellsville woman, and the driver of the northbound vehicle, a 30year-old Lenexa woman, were not available Friday evening.

and tied with red ribbons.

Here, she said, handing me the larger of the two gifts. This one is for you.

Hadry winked at Camilla.

And this one, she added, is for you, my child. Camilla looked at me as if asking for my permission to accept it. I nodded my approval.

The only thing I ask, Hadry said, is that you wait until Christmas day to open them.

But I don’t have anything to give you, I protested.

Nonsense. You’ve given me your companionship and the pleasure of having your cute little girl at dinner. But if you’d like you can join me on the sofa and we’ll sing a few carols.

While I agreed, I wondered if I could get myself to sing. After all, I’d turn the radio off whenever I heard a Christmas carol. But tonight was different. I felt changed, more alive than ever.

Soon I was singing “Silent Night” and “Little Town of Bethlehem” and “The First Noel” as if I had been auditioning for a church choir.

Through the window I could see drifting snowflakes and it reminded me of the days Steve and I would sit by a fireplace on a cold winter night and just enjoy the moment.

Christmas presence The next morning Camilla, excited, woke me. C’mon, Mommy, it’s Christmas. Get up.

I had forgotten the gifts Hadry gave us until Camilla mentioned them.

OK, we’ll open them, I said.

Open yours first, Mommy.

I unwrapped it and froze when I saw a pile of hundred dollar bills. There must be some mistake, I thought, my heart pounding. Hadry must have given this away by accident.

Look, Mommy.

I turned to see Camilla holding up a gold-plated belt buckle, just like the kind Steve wore.

Mommy?

What?

How did she know?

That was a good question.

Honey, let’s go up to her place right now and find out.

I knocked on the door several times. No answer.

About to give up, I noticed Jacob nearby. He looked puzzled. What are you doing? he asked.

What do you mean?

This apartment’s empty.

He opened the door. See for yourself.

The room was vacant. No sofa. No chairs. No fancy drapes. No carpeting.

But I don’t understand.

Here, Mommy. You should read this. It was with my present.

Camilla handed me the note. It was a message from Hadry….

MERRY CHRISTMAS, CAMILLA! YOUR DADDY TOLD ME HE HOPES YOU LIKE THE BELT BUCKLE.

TOPEKA — Sam Brownback and members of his family regularly do volunteer work at the Topeka Rescue Mission, but with Brownback about to take office as Kansas’ next governor, a couple of hours there with family and staff members became an opportunity to promote volunteerism.

Brownback, who added an hour of bell-ringing outside a grocery store for the Salvation Army to his schedule Friday for Christmas eve, used a couple of hours of work Thursday at the rescue mission to launch his Heart of Kansas Project, encouraging volunteerism. At the homeless shelter, he was joined by family and more than a dozen members of his transition team.

He’s tied the Heart of Kansas Project to his Jan. 10 swearing-in by making charity work in three Kansas communities part of his inaugural festivities.

But he and his family have served meals at the Rescue Mission in the past.

“It’s a great cause,” Brownback told The Topeka Capital Journal. “We try to do it as a family.”

Events associated with Brownback’s inauguration begin Jan. 5 with a blood drive in Hays, followed by a medical supplies repackaging event Jan. 6 at a community health center in Pittsburg and the stuffing of backpacks with food for needy children Jan. 7 at a Wichita food bank.

Kobach names Rucker to top staff position TOPEKA — Secretary of State-elect Kris Kobach on Friday announced that his top assistant will be Eric Rucker, who had served as a top lieutenant to former Attorney General Phill Kline.

“It is difficult to imagine a person more qualified to be assistant secretary of state,” Kobach, a Republican, said of Rucker.

In August, Rucker received an informal admonition from the state’s disciplinary administrator for lawyers for failing to correct information given to the Kansas Supreme Court when Rucker served as chief deputy to Kline during investigations of abortion providers.

The disciplinary administrator accused Rucker and Kline of violating professional ethics during the abortion investigations. Rucker denied intentionally misleading the state Supreme Court but acknowledged making some mistakes during the investigations.

Kobach also announced that Ryan Kriegshauser will serve as deputy assistant secretary of state; Kay Curtis as public affairs director; Tom Treacy as assistant to the secretary of state; and Debra Banister as executive assistant.

“I have assembled a highly experienced team that understands the needs of the Kansas Secretary of State's office,” Kobach said.

He noted that Rucker had once served as an assistant secretary of state.

EPA moving unilaterally to limit greenhouse gases

By Merrill Hartson

coupons.lawrence.com

Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — Stymied in Congress, the Obama administration is moving unilaterally to clamp down on power plant and oil refinery greenhouse emissions, announcing plans for developing new standards over the next year.

In a statement posted on the agency’s website late Thursday, Environmental Protection Agency administrator Lisa Jackson said the aim was to better cope with pollution contributing to climate change.

“We are following through on our commitment to proceed in a measured and careful way to reduce GHG pollution that threatens the health and welfare of Americans,” Jackson said in a statement.

She said emissions from power plants and oil refineries constitute about 40 percent of the greenhouse gas pollution in this country.

President Barack Obama had said two days after the midterm elections that he was disappointed Congress hadn’t acted on legislation achieving the same end, signaling that other options were under consideration.

Jackson’s announcement came on the same day that the administration showed a goit-alone approach on federal wilderness protection — another major environmental issue. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said his agency was repealing the Bush era’s policy limiting wilderness protection, which was adopted under former Interior Secretary Gale Norton.

On climate change, legislation in Congress putting a limit on heat-trapping greenhouse gases and allowing companies to buy and sell pollution permits under that ceiling — a system known as “cap and trade” — stalled in the Senate earlier this year after narrowly clearing the House.

Republicans assailed it as “cap and tax,” arguing that it would raise energy prices.

But the Senate in late June rejected by a 53-47 vote a challenge brought by Alaska Republican Lisa Murkowski that would have denied the EPA the authority to move ahead with the rules.

Jackson noted in Thursday’s statement that her agency that several state and local governments and environmental groups had sued EPA over the agency’s failure to update or publish new standards for fossil fuel plants and petroleum refineries. The announcement Thursday came in connection with a settlement of the suit the states brought against the EPA. The EPA also announced Thursday that it was taking the unprecedented step of directly issuing air permits to industries in Texas, citing the state’s unwillingness to comply with greenhouse gas regulations going into effect Jan. 2.

U.N.: Gunmen block possible mass grave Masked gunmen with rocket launchers are blocking access to what officials believe may be a mass grave site in Ivory Coast, the United Nations said, as concerns grow that the West African nation that suffered a 20022003 civil war could return to conflict.

The U.N. reported that heavily armed forces allied with Laurent Gbagbo and joined by masked men, were preventing people from getting to the village of N’Dotre, where the global body said “allegations point to the existence of a mass grave.”

The U.N. did not elaborate on the possible victims, though it has expressed concerns about hundreds of arrests, and dozens of cases of torture and disappearance during the political turmoil since the presidential runoff vote was held nearly a month ago.

POPE BENEDICT XVI GREETS TWO CHILDREN during the offertory as he celebrates Christmas Mass on Friday in St. Peter’s Basilica at the Vatican.

Pope celebrates Christmas amid security fears

By Nicole Winfield Associated Press Writer

VATICAN CITY — Pope Benedict XVI ushered in Christmas Eve with an evening Mass on Friday amid heightened security concerns following the package bombings at two Rome embassies and Christmas Eve security breaches at the Vatican the past two years.

Benedict processed down the central aisle of St. Peter’s Basilica at the start and end of the Mass without incident; with his normal phalanx of bodyguards on either side, he stopped several times to bless babies held up to him from the pews.

During the same service in 2008 and 2009, a mentally disturbed woman lunged at the pope as he processed down the aisle — and last year she managed to pull him to the ground.

Friday’s service saw no such interruptions. In his homily, Benedict recalled the birth of Jesus which is commemorated on Christmas and prayed that the faithful today become more like Christ.

“Help us to recognize your face in others who need our assistance, in those who are suffering or forsaken, in all people, and help us to live together with you as brothers and sisters, so as to become one family, your family,” he said.

In addition to the past breaches, security was also vigilant Friday because of the package bombings a day earlier at the Swiss and Chilean embassies, for which anarchists claimed responsibility.

The two people who opened the envelopes were injured.

The bombings added to tensions in the capital following a violent, anti-government protest last week in the historic center and a fake bomb found Tuesday on a Rome subway.

The Vatican identified the pope’s 2008 and 2009 Christ-

“More than Shirts”

We’ve moved!

mas Eve assailant as Susanna Maiolo, a Swiss-Italian national with a history of psychiatric problems. Both years she wore a telltale red sweat shirt.

In 2008, the pope’s security detail blocked her from getting to him. But in 2009, she jumped the wooden security barrier along the basilica’s central aisle, grabbed Benedict’s vestments and pulled him to the ground when the pope’s bodyguards toppled her.

The pontiff wasn’t hurt and continued with the Mass. But Cardinal Roger Etchegaray, a retired Vatican diplomat who was near the pope, suffered a broken hip in the fall.

Maiolo was treated for some time at a clinic in Rome, and Benedict’s personal secretary, Monsignor Georg Gaenswein, visited her there.

Three weeks later, Maiolo and her family met privately with the pope at the Vatican and the pontiff forgave her.

The Vatican reviewed security procedures after the knockdown. But off icials have long warned there will always be risks to the pontiff since he is regularly surrounded by tens of thousands of people for his weekly audiences, Masses, papal greetings and other events.

Holiday 2010: The season that shoppers came back available until next week and final numbers, through Dec. 31, arrive next month.

The economy hasn’t improved significantly from last year. Unemployment is 9.8 percent, credit remains tight and the housing market is moribund. But recent economic reports suggest employers are laying off fewer workers and businesses are spending more. Consumer confidence is rising.

“I was unemployed last year, so I’m feeling better,” said Hope Jackson, who was at Maryland’s Mall in Columbia on Friday morning. Jackson bought laptops and PlayStation 2 games for her three daughters earlier in the season but was at the mall on Christmas Eve to grab $50 shirts marked down to $12 at Aeropostale.

Some spending growth online has been driven by free shipping offers and convenience. From Oct. 31 through Thursday, about $36 billion has been spent online, a 15 percent increase over last year, according to MasterCard Advisors’ SpendingPulse.

Taubman Centers and Mall of America have reported strong clothing sales, which was a hard sell last year. Jewelry sales sparkled throughout the season.

N E W Y O R K — Shoppers came back in force for the holidays, right to the end.

After two dreary years, Christmas 2010 will go down as the holiday Americans rediscovered how much they like to shop.

People spent more than expected on family and friends and splurged on themselves, too, an ingredient missing for two years. Clothing such as fur vests and beaded sweaters replaced practical items like pots and pans.

Even the family dog is getting a little something extra.

“You saw joy back in the holiday season,” said Sherif Mityas, partner in the retail practice at A.T. Kearney.

A strong Christmas Eve augmented a great season for retailers. The National Retail Federation predicts spending this holiday season will reach $451.5 billion, up 3.3 percent over last year.

That would be the biggest increase since 2006, and the largest total since a record $452.8 billion in 2007. The holiday season runs from Nov. 1 through Dec. 31, so a strong week after Christmas could still make this the biggest of all time. Spending numbers through Dec. 24 won’t be

slash prices as Christmas neared, analysts say.

Some habits adopted during the recession lingered.

Shoppers used cash more and credit cards less.

The final six days of the holiday shopping season are Sunday through next Friday.

They’re only 10 percent of the 61 holiday shopping days but can account for more than 15 percent of spending.

For the economy, the key question is whether strong spending this holiday season will continue into the new year.

Still, stores were encouraged by what they saw in the final stretch of the holiday season.

Even pets made it back onto gift lists this year. Three Dog Bakery, a pet-supply chain in Clinton Township, Mich., whose specialties include $15.99 jars of banananut dog cookies, opened three years ago at the start of the recession.

“We opened at the worst possible time in the world.

Everyone was pulling back,” owner Chad Konzen said.

Wednesday, the store had its best day ever. “Gourmet, all-natural dog treats are not a necessity,” Konzen said.

“But now people are feeling more comfortable. You can only be thrifty for so long.”

OPINION

LAWRENCE JOURNAL-WORLD ● LJWorld.com ● Saturday, December 25, 2010 WHERE TO WRITE

Perceptions skew memories of segregation

Lawrence City Commission

WASHINGTON — It’s too bad for Haley Barbour that he’s not in my book group.

Sure, the Mississippi governor and Mike Amyx, mayor potential presidential candidate 2312 Free State Lane 66047 might feel a little out of place. He 843-3089 (H) 842-9425 (W) would be the only man — and, as it mikeamyx515@hotmail.com turns out, the only Republican.

But Barbour might have saved himAron Cromwell, vice mayor self a heap of trouble if he had been Cromwell Environmental, with us Sunday night to talk about 825 Vt., 66044, 749-6020 “The Help,” Kathryn Stockett’s novel aroncromwell@gmail.com about white women and their black Robert Chestnut maids in Mississippi during the 1960s.

5209 Fox Chase Drive 66049 Barbour is a smooth pol who seems 764-3220 (H) to stumble whenever he encounters robchestnut@sunflower.com the subject of the South and race.

When Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell Michael Dever erased slavery from the annual Con1124 Oak Tree Drive 66049 federacy Day proclamation, Barbour 550-4909 dismissed critics for “trying to make a mdever@sunflower.com big deal out of something that doesn’t Lance Johnson matter for diddly.” His soft focus rec1730 Bobwhite Dr. 66047 ollection of the civil rights era makes 838-3338 “Gone With the Wind” look like a hit ljohnson@peridiangroup.com job on the Old Confederacy.

A few months back, Barbour gave an interview to Human Events, the conDouglas County servative magazine, that wished away Commission the South of fire hoses and church bombings. “My generation,” said BarJim Flory, 540 N. 711 Road, bour, “went to integrated schools. I went to an integrated college — never Lawrence 66047; 842-0054 thought about it.” jimflory@sunflower.com Perhaps he never thought about it Mike Gaughan, 304 Stetson because the actual facts were less Circle, 66049; 856-1662; pleasant.

is a smooth pol “whoBarbour seems to stumble

whenever he encounters the subject of the South and race.” ith onto the riot-torn campus. The schools in his hometown of Yazoo City were not integrated until 1970, by which point Barbour was in law school.

Now, Barbour, in an interview with the conservative Weekly Standard, has taken his airbrush to Yazoo City.

Explaining how the local schools managed to desegregate without violence, Barbour said, “Because the business community wouldn’t stand for it. You heard of the Citizens Councils? Up north they think it was like the KKK. Where I come from it was an organization of town leaders. In Yazoo City they passed a resolution that said anybody who started a chapter of the Klan would get their ass run out of town.”

By 1970, Yazoo’s white establishment had concluded — albeit 16 years after Brown vs. Board of Education and in the face of a federal court order — that segregation was not a winning strategy. “We don’t have much other choice,” Mayor Jeppie Barbour, Haley’s older brother, told writer Willie Morris.

But Barbour’s portrayal conveniently omits the more sinister role played by the councils — “the South’s answer to the mongrelizers,” as one council pamphlet put it (http:// bit.ly/grWyEc). In Yazoo City as elsewhere in the South, the councils worked to intimidate whites and blacks from pursuing desegregation.

Not in Barbour’s soft-focus recollection. “I just don’t remember it as being that bad,” he said of racial tensions in Yazoo City. “I remember Martin Luther King came to town, in ‘62. He spoke out at the old fairground and it was full of people, black and white.”

I don’t think that Barbour is being deliberately ahistorical or insensitive here. These comments are not a calculated political tactic. They are far more damaging than helpful, as Barbour’s oops-I-did-it-again clarification Tuesday indicated. Barbour is no dumb tactician. Rather, and this is where “The Help” comes in, they reflect the limits of Barbour’s cloistered worldview. Like the rest of us, his perceptions are inevitably skewed

Lawrence School Board

by the distorting lens of his background and upbringing.

“The Help” takes place in Barbour’s backyard, Jackson, in 1962. The white women are not so much evil as they are oblivious to the inequities around them, not to mention the inequities they inflict themselves. Even the worst, Hilly, energetically raises money for “The Poor Starving Children of Africa” as she presses the “Home Help Sanitation Initiative,” so that the African-American help would have separate bathrooms in their employers’ homes.

The unpleasantness of the civil rights movement is a subject to be diligently avoided. When one of the white women, Skeeter, begins to watch a television report about Meredith at Ole Miss, her mother immediately flips the channel to Lawrence Welk, announcing, ‘Look, isn’t this so much nicer?’” After Skeeter anonymously publishes a book about the maids’ difficult and humiliating lives in “Niceville,” her friends can scarcely recognize themselves. So when Barbour says he does not remember things “being that bad,” I suspect he is telling the truth.

Barbour’s failing is not in his faulty memory. It is in his consistent unwillingness to recognize the edifice of self-serving myth on which he has constructed his comfortable conclusions.

Bob Byers, 842-8345 1707 E. 21st Ter., 66046 bbyers@usd497.org

For gay American troops serving their country in Afghanistan and Iraq, and sometimes dying for it, the Pentagon’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy was a constant reminder of their secondclass status. No longer. Soon they will be able to serve openly without fear.

Attitudes have changed for the better, and U.S. President Barack Obama has just won Senate approval for a historic emancipation reform that will scrap Bill Clinton’s much-criticized 1993 directive that allowed gays and lesbians to serve, but only if they hid their sexual orientation. Historians liken the reform to Harry Truman’s 1948 order on racial equality in the military. Today, 77 percent of Americans welcome the change compared to just 44 percent in 1993.

Indeed, gay friends of Maj. Alan Rogers, a war hero who was killed in Iraq in 2008, left celebratory flowers, a rainbow lei and a handwritten note

at his snow-covered grave in Arlington National Cemetery, the New York Daily News reported. The note said simply: “Alan, we did it.” Soon soldiers in the 2-million-plus U.S. military will no longer have to live a lie, to serve their country.

This will bring U.S. policy into line with many allies. ...

Yet 14,000 Americans have been forced out of the military since 1993 for being gay. They were victims of legalized bigotry.

The landmark vote was adroitly steered through the Senate by Harry Reid, the Democratic majority leader, who persuaded some Republicans to support the move before a new, more conservative Congress assembles in the new year. ...

How much more change he can deliver when the new Congress assembles in January with its cohort of tea party Republicans is an open question. ...

And no wonder the ruddyfaced, silver-bearded old saint has to resort to so many methods of locomotion when it is remembered how many places he must visit Christmas eve and Christmas night.

$630 posters OK’d with reservations T O P E K A ( A P )— Shawnee County commissioners have reluctantly allowed the sheriff ’s office to pay for nearly $630 worth of inspirational posters. By they also suggested they might not do so again.

The sheriff’s legal adviser told the commission this week the department’s credit services had been suspended because of an unpaid bill to the Florida company that sold the posters.

Sheriff Dick Barta said he considers the four posters appropriate for a redecorating project intended to boost morale at the county emergency communications center in Topeka.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reported that one of the posters cost $200, and the other three about $140 each.

Two of the commissioners approved paying the bill. The third said the county shouldn’t be paying for the posters because of financial difficulties.

FORMER JAYHAWKS

Rebuilding project

Matt Tait

mtait@ljworld.com

KU’s X-mas gift? QB Last Monday night, shortly after hearing about prep quarterback Brock Berglund switching his commitment from Colorado to Kansas, I couldn’t help but think of Bubba Cunningham.

Odd, huh? I mean, it would make sense if Berglund’s commitment made me think about KU quarterbacks Jordan Webb or Quinn Mecham. Todd Reesing, even. But why on earth would the Tulsa athletic director come to mind?

Here’s why.

A little more than a week ago, the KU football community was obsessed with landing juniorcollege quarterback Zack Stoudt. Fans posted messages imploring Stoudt to come to Kansas. A couple of current Jayhawks even did the same on their Twitter pages. But Stoudt chose Ole Miss and left Jayhawk fans to lament over the idea of watching their team play another season — perhaps longer — without a Big 12-caliber QB. There’s no telling if Berglund will change any of that, but, to quote the Magic 8 Ball, “all signs point to yes,” so far.

Although the Jayhawks didn’t get the first guy they went after, they might be better off in the long run. Sound familiar? It should. Because the same is true with the school’s athletic director search, which nearly ended last week with the naming of Cunningham but continued on after Bubba backed out.

Not to worry. As is the case with the quarterback position, KU will be better off when the AD search ends, too. Cunningham was an excellent choice.

He seems like a great guy. But if he wasn’t ready for Kansas and didn’t truly want to be here, then Kansas can — and will — do better.

Think about it. When Berglund’s a junior, Stoudt’s college career will be over. And, by then, the Jayhawks could be on the cusp of becoming a consistent winner. Several of the top players from this year’s squad will be juniors and seniors in 2013. Guys like Tyler Patmon and Keeston Terry; James Sims and Jimmay Mundine; and a whole bunch of offensive linemen who, ultimately, will have a lot to say about how much the next quarterback will succeed at Kansas.

From the beginning, people said the combination of head coach Turner Gill and offensive coordinator Chuck Long would give KU an advantage in working with and recruiting quarterbacks. Just a year in, we’ve already seen that to be true.

Berglund is not the secondcoming of Reesing, but he seems to be more talented than anyone KU had on its roster when Gill and Long arrived.

Landing him shows two things.

One, they were able to identify KU’s glaring need at the game’s most important position. And, two, they were determined to do something about it. While Berglund might not be Reesing, he’s also not chump change. He has an above-average arm, good size (6-foot-4, 205 pounds) and can do damage with his legs when a play breaks down.

What’s more, he’s not lacking in the confidence department.

That might change when he gets to college and starts competing with grown men. But I doubt it. Berglund emits that “it” factor that quality quarterbacks always have. He’ll have to back that up with his play for it to matter, but talking the talk is a good start.

This is a great get for Gill and the Jayhawks. No box, no bow, just a Brock who can throw.

Christmas came early for the Kansas football program.

FORMER KANSAS UNIVERSITY GUARD JEFF HAWKINS, LEFT, TALKS with members of the Perry-Lecompton junior varsity basketball squad on Tuesday in Perry. Hawkins is an assistant for the JV team; he’s head coach of the boys varsity team. Hawkins, in his first season as a varsity coach, is trying to rebuild a Kaws program that finished 2-19 last season.

Hawkins enjoys challenge in first year at Perry-Lecompton

By Ben Ward Journal-World Sports Writer

After his playing days were over, the desire to coach was, at first, only natural for Jeff Hawkins.

Hawkins, who played point guard at Kansas University from 2002-2006, looked at coaching as the next-closest option to still being on the court.

But last year, where Hawkins was a first-year assistant coach at Ellis High School, the wins — and the excitement — began to build.

Thoughts like, “how would I do if I was a head coach?” kept popping into his head.

Still, he was considering staying on as an assistant at Ellis, until Perry-Lecompton principal J.B. Elliot called Hawkins with interest on hiring him on as head coach.

“Once (he) said that, it just kind of switched my whole mind-set,” Hawkins said. “Like ‘OK, I know I’m ready.’ I just wanted to put both feet in this coaching and run wild with it.”

in the process of rebuilding the program, and the kids are in the process of having a new coach and learning a new system. I might have a bit more grey hair than I did last year as an assistant coach, but overall the transition has gone well.”

It doesn’t hurt that the kids are taking tips from a guy like Hawkins, who played in 113 games during his KU career.

“I think (having played) is a really big key in my teaching,” Hawkins said.

Though the 27-year old Hawkins — who played briefly overseas and in the ABA — insists he’s moved on from his dream of playing professionally, he still has a few moves.

“You’ve got to understand that JEFF HAWKINS, MIDDLE RIGHT, ENCOURAGES Perry-Lecompton hoops you’ve got 30 other kids,” Hawkins players from the bench. said. “When you can get out and show them all what you want (a Nearly halfway through his first team has improved since the start certain play) to look like, it works year on the job, Hawkins and the of the season and says it’s making better when you can show them as Kaws — who finished 2-19 last sea- strides in the right direction. opposed to just tell them.” son — are off to a 0-6 start, but “It’s kind of a learning process Please see HAWKINS, page 12B Hawkins has admired the way his both ways,” Hawkins said. “We’re

Bowen new D-coordinator at North Texas

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Bowen

After spending all of his life in Lawrence, Clint Bowen is on the move for the second year in a row.

Bowen, a former Lawrence High and Kansas University standout player and 12-year KU

assistant coach, recently agreed to become the defensive coordinator at North Texas.

The move to the Lone Star State comes one year after Bowen left KU for Western Kentucky, where he took the Hilltoppers’ defense from dead last in the conference in 2009 to first overall in just one season.

The fact that Bowen and his wife, Kristie, have two sons, Baylor, 6, and Banks, 4, was the only thing about the decision that was difficult to juggle. Football-wise, Bowen said it was a no-brainer.

“I didn’t want to move that fast again,” he said. “But it was a better situation than I was in so I’m excited about it. Obviously, I was

very fortunate to be able to stay at Kansas for that long. And every other coach that came through said, ‘One of these days, you’re gonna be on that roller coaster with us.’ But it’s part of the gig. You gotta be willing and ready to make moves that help Please see BOWEN, page 12B

Lakers to get first look at Heat today LOS ANGELES (AP) — Kobe Bryant and Lakers coach Phil Jackson haven’t really checked out the Miami Heat much this season.

They’ve caught late-night highlights and maybe logged a few minutes with a game from the opposite coast, but not a whole lot more.

It’s finally time for the two-time champions to get an up-close look at their most intriguing challengers.

When LeBron James, Chris Bosh and — maybe — Dwyane Wade take on the Lakers in the NBA’s Christmas showcase at 4 p.m. today, most players in both uniforms hesitate to pile any extra significance onto a televisionmanufactured event. Most minimize every aspect of it, saying it’s no more than a holiday amusement for fans seeking a break from present-opening and eggnogdrinking.

Wade might miss the game with a sore knee.

“I don’t think it’s a measuring stick for us,” James said. “It’s just another game.”

Yet competitiveness usually trumps Christmas for elite NBA players.

Pau Gasol and Derek Fisher concede both teams are anticipating the marquee matchup as a chance to gauge their readiness for bigger games in the months to come. And

if they eventually face each other in June for the biggest prize of all, even better.

“The personalities that are going to be matching up in this game, I don’t know if it can get any bigger,” Fisher said. “Although there will be other games in this regular season that can mean more, from a personality standpoint and a star power point, I don’t know if it can get any bigger.”

Eagles quarterback Vick would vote for himself for MVP PHILADELPHIA — Michael Vick’s MVP pick?

That would be Michael Vick.

Asked after practice Friday who he would select if he had a vote, the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback said, “You put me on the spot.”

Then he added with a smile: “I would take ... myself.”

Vick and Patriots quarterback Tom Brady are widely considered the top two candidates for the award, which has been won or shared by a quarterback 17 of the last 23 years.

Brady leads the NFL with a 109.9 passer rating. In his last nine games, he’s thrown 21 touchdowns and no interceptions. The Patriots (12-2) have won 11 of their last 12.

Vick’s 103.6 passer rating is third-highest in the NFL and leads the NFC. He also has 613 yards rushing and has run for eight TDs — more than all but nine NFL running backs.

Vick spent Christmas in 2007 and 2008 incarcerated at Leavenworth Penitentiary in Kansas while serving an 18-month sentence on federal charges of running an illegal dogfighting ring.

“I’m just blessed to be here,” Vick said. “I spent two Christmases in Kansas, and that was by far the toughest thing I’ve had to do.

Each and every year I reflect on that, and I think it will always make the holiday season more gratifying. “(I’m) just thankful for a lot, thankful for the opportunity that I’ve been given, thankful for the blessings, and hopefully they’ll continue to come.”

NFL Favre listed as doubtful EDEN PRAIRIE, MINN. — Leslie Frazier counted Brett Favre out once before. He’s not about to do it again.

The Minnesota Vikings listed Favre as doubtful Friday with a concussion, leaving the door open for the 41-year-old quarterback to play against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night.

Lions place Stafford on IR ALLEN PARK, MICH. — The Detroit Lions have placed quarterback Matthew Stafford on injured reserve with a separated right shoulder.

Friday’s move ends Stafford’s season with two games remaining.

Jets’ Sanchez expected to play FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Deep breath, Jets fans. It appears Mark Sanchez is going to play.

The second-year quarterback was listed as probable on New York’s injury report Friday and coach Rex Ryan fully expects Sanchez to be under center, barring a late setback, to start in the team’s game at Chicago on Sunday after being limited with a sore right shoulder.

“Today, I don’t think there was any question that he was out to say, ’Hey look, I’m fine,”’ Ryan said. “He was. He threw it good. He never grimaced or anything else. He’s feeling good. He really feels good right now.”

Redskins’ Kyle Shanahan responds ASHBURN, VA. — Kyle Shanahan says comments made by Donovan McNabb’s agent were disturbing and that the Washington quarterback denied making the statements in a face-to-face meeting.

The Redskins offensive coordinator Friday responded to Fletcher Smith’s comments during his weekly CSN Washington television interview.

Kyle Shanahan says he and McNabb spoke “man-to-man” Thursday night and the 12-year veteran told him that the claims made by his agent were untrue.

Smith said in a statement Thursday the “tension” between McNabb and Shanahan, and his father, coach Mike Shanahan, is due to his client’s suggestions for improving the Redskins offense.

Kyle Shanahan says McNabb said he “didn’t tell his agent that stuff.”

Smith says he stands by his statement and that he and McNabb are “on the same page.”

GOLF Fay to retire as head of USGA David Fay is retiring from the U.S. Golf Association, his two decades as executive director marked by a steady push for golf’s return to the Olympics and for the U.S. Open to be held on golf courses that anyone could play at a reasonable price.

Fay’s announcement Friday was somewhat of a surprise, although he turned 60 two months ago and said it was an important milestone for cancer survivors. He joined the USGA in 1978 and became its sixth executive director in 1989, serving under 12 presidents.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL MSU players suspended for fight HONOLULU — The two Mississippi State players caught on camera fighting in the stands of the Diamond Head Classic have been suspended indefinitely and sent home from Hawaii.

Renardo Sidney and Elgin Bailey, who are roommates, were involved in a fistfight after the Bulldogs’ game Thursday night. The altercation lasted for several minutes before being broken up by teammates and coaches.

“I’m very sorry for this incident,” Sidney said in a statement released by the university. “I had no intention of this ever happening. I apologize for embarrassing my family, all the Mississippi State fans, my teammates and coaches.

“I will learn from this and move on.”

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL Taurasi tests positive for modafinil NEW YORK — WNBA standout and former UConn star Diana Taurasi tested positive for modafinil while playing in a professional women’s league in Turkey, the country’s basketball federation said Friday.

Neither her lawyer nor her team, Fenerbahce, would confirm that Taurasi tested positive for the stimulant, which has been involved in several major doping cases.

Modafinil is used to counter excessive sleepiness due to narcolepsy, shift-work sleep disorder or sleep apnea, according to the website for the prescription drug Provigil, which contains the substance.

BASEBALL Sources: Padres, Hawpe agree SAN DIEGO — The San Diego Padres have agreed to terms of a one-year contract with Brad Hawpe to play first base, two people with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press on Friday.

HAWAII BOWL

Tulsa topples Warriors, 62-35 HONOLULU (AP) — Damaris Johnson broke loose for a career-high 326 all-purpose yards to set an NCAA career record and Tulsa took advantage of six first-half turnovers to beat No. 24 Hawaii, 62-35, in the Hawaii Bowl on Friday night.

The Golden Hurricane (103) grounded the nation’s No. 1 passing offense most of the night and broke it open with a 21-point third quarter for their seventh straight win and third consecutive bowl victory.

The short and speedy Johnson earned MVP honors, rushing for 98 yards and a touchdown and catching four passes for 101 yards and another score. He had two big plays in the decisive third quarter — a 59-yard reception and a 67-yard TD run that put Tulsa up, 41-28.

He also had 109 yards in kickoff returns and 18 yards on punt returns.

Greg Salas also had a record night for Hawaii (10-4). The senior had 13 receptions for 214 yards and two touchdowns and set Hawaii singleseason records in receptions and receiving yards.

But it was Johnson who ran wild in paradise.

The junior has 7,796 all-purpose yards, breaking Western Michigan standout Brandon West’s record of 7,764 yards set in 2006-09. Johnson broke the record on a 12-yard run in the fourth quarter.

He entered the game fourth on the career list, 294 yards shy of tying the mark, and quickly passed up DeAngelo Williams and C.J. Spiller.

G.J. Kinne was 17-of-31 for 343 yards and three secondhalf touchdowns. He had just 107 yards passing in the first half.

TULSA’S TANNER ANTLE (40) CELEBRATES after making an interception in the end zone against Hawaii. The Golden Hurricane defeated the Warriors, 62-35, in the Hawaii Bowl on Friday in Honolulu.

Tulsa entered the game ranked 119th in the nation in pass defense, but used an aggressive pass rush up front and had its linebackers drop back into coverage on the Warriors, who shared the Western Athletic Conference title with Boise State and Nevada.

The Golden Hurricane forced a fumble and intercepted five passes in the first half, including two picks by Curnelius Arnick. Hawaii’s six first-half turnovers led to 24 Tulsa points and gave the Hurricane a 27-14 halftime lead.

On Arnick’s second interception, he stepped in front of Bryant Moniz’s errant throw and returned it 54 yards along the sideline, leaping for the score to put Tulsa up by 17.

Arnick celebrated by flexing his bulging biceps in front of the booing Hawaii fans.

Moniz broke the 5,000-yard passing mark for the season, throwing for 411 yards and three touchdowns. But he had a disastrous first half with four interceptions.

His 33-yard pass to Royce Pollard cut it to 48-35 with 9:27 left, but the Warriors wouldn’t get any closer as the Golden Hurricanes seemed to move the ball at will.

Hawaii pulled to 27-21 on a 5-yard TD pass from Moniz to Salas to open the second half.

But Tulsa answered with Kinne lobbing a short pass to the speedy Johnson, who cut right, across the field for a 59yard gain. Kinne found Jameel Owens for a 15-yard score on the next play to push the lead back to 13.

Hawaii’s offense finally got going late in the first half.

Salas caught an 18-yard TD pass from Moniz to cut Tulsa’s

ANN ARBOR, MICH. — Michigan athletic director Dave Brandon might ask Rich Rodriguez why he should keep his job in a private conversation soon after the Gator Bowl.

Publicly, Rodriguez doesn’t want to say what his answer would be.

“It would sound like I’m lobbying,” Rodriguez said in an interview with The Associated Press. “I’ve got a great job and we’re looking forward to finishing it.”

Brandon might not give Rodriguez that chance with three years left on his six-season contract that pays him about $2.5 million annually.

The f irst-year AD has steadfastly stuck by his plan to evaluate Rodriguez after the season, which closes against No. 21 Mississippi State on New Year’s Day.

Brandon has refused to waver from that plan while speculation swirls that he’s going to fire Rodriguez and try to hire Stanford coach and former Wolverines quarterback Jim Harbaugh to lead college football’s winningest program.

Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh said he doesn’t know what his brother is going to do.

“I’m just assuming he’s going to stay at Stanford,” he said. “He really likes it there, he loves those players, but you just have to see.

“I don’t think there’s any other jobs that are open right now anyways,” he added.

Not yet.

Rodriguez is 15-21 overall, 6-18 in the Big Ten and 1-10 against ranked teams in three seasons at Michigan.

Brandon has said the NCAA violations — related to practices and offseason workouts — committed under

Rodriguez didn’t give him cause to terminate his contract. If Brandon and school off icials decide to f ire Rodriguez without cause on or after Jan. 1, the buyout drops from $4 million to $2.5 million.

Perhaps showing signs of cracking under the intense scrutiny, Rodriguez broke down at last month’s team banquet — tearing up about the affect his job has had on his family — quoted the Bible and Josh Groban, then played a song from the musician.

Otherwise, though, Rodriguez’s players have said their coach has looked and sounded the same as he had for three seasons.

“He’s still an upbeat guy — yelling and screaming at us during practice — because I don’t think all of this has affected him,” receiver Darryl Stonum said. “It takes a big man to carry the load he is and still lead us into the bowl game, and he’s doing it.”

How would Jesus celebrate his birthday if he were a modern man?

————

Jesus would celebrate by worshipping and serving others The Rev. Pam Morrison, pastor, Amazing Grace Community Church, 1251 E. 1900 Road: There are two things to be noted from the Bible about Jesus. He worshipped and served. Often he would withdraw to a quiet place to pray, then wade back into the pressing needs of the crowds.

I say this because, as a modern man, I imagine we’d find him worshipping often during Christmas. On Christmas Eve, candles glittering in the dark, “Silent Night” touching our deep yearning for peace, Jesus would be singing with us.

How would he be present in service? I’ve been reading about Missouri’s secret Santa who gave away $1.3 million

over the years, a practice begun as he lost a job. Spotting a car hop in the cold, he gave her $20, discovering this truth: you can lose the shirt off your back, but if you still give, you win over fear and loss, Morrison remaining “rich.” Jesus taught that, so he would do similar things.

He would put food on a plate at a shelter, sit by the bed of someone in pain. He would be in the home where a job’s been lost or divorce has struck, playing with kids, speaking hope into adults.

I’ve thought a great deal about where a modern Jesus would be this Christmas as my own father is dying. I have seen Jesus in the kindness of many: young certified nursing assistants who offer tissues, a therapist singing “Amazing Grace” in the dim light of a hospice room.

Jesus has touched the broken places in a family to make it whole. Yes, if he was a modern man, Jesus would do all the things that many compassionate people do, for he is the one who spurs the impulse.

I am grateful that Jesus is not a man and limited. The light is in the world and the darkness has not overcome it.

He would fulfill the purpose for which he came The Rev. Shaun LePage, pastor, Community Bible Church, 906 N. 1464 Road: How would I expect Jesus to celebrate his birthday if he were a modern man? Exactly the same way He did in the first century.

He didn’t celebrate the exact date He was born in Bethlehem. But He did celebrate his birth. He celebrated not by getting presents, but by giving the most tremendous gift of history.

Here’s how I know: Shortly before he died, Jesus asked, “What shall I say, ‘Father, save Me from this hour’?”

(John 12:27).

“This hour” referred to his death. Though he clearly would have preferred to avoid the cross, he knew he

would follow through and die for us. Why? Look what he said next in John 12:27: “But for this purpose I came to this hour.”

There’s Jesus’ birthday! He “came” to earth (was born) for that “purpose” of taking on himself the wrath of God for the sins of the world.

Unlike us, Jesus chose to be born.

LePage He existed before his birth and “gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form,

he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross” (Philippians 2:7-9, NLT).

That’s how Jesus celebrated his birthday: By fulfilling the purpose for which he came. And that’s exactly how I would expect him to celebrate today. This also tells us how He wants us to celebrate his birthday: By believing that He died for our sins and rose again to give us eternal life.

Charles Wesley got it right: “Mild he lays his glory by; born that man no more may die, born to raise the sons of earth, born to give them second birth! Hark! The herald angels sing: ‘Glory to the newborn King!’”

Appreciation for Good Samaritan felt Annie’s Mailbox

of growing up and its attendant responsibilities. I tried moving out a few times, but never took it seriously because I knew my safety net (my parents) was always there to bail me out.

When I lived with them, I was a disrespectful and lazy slob who never contributed to the household. My loving parents, especially my mother, put up with it for many years, but they finally put their collective foot down. Because anniesmailbox@creators.com they stood up to me, I can in need. His little hands will proudly say that I am a man. I live in my heart forever. My now live in a luxury apartment thanks also to the boy’s moth- with my wife. We take pride in er and father, because children learn kindness from their parents. I will always remember them — and all New Yorkers, who sometimes get an undeserving bum rap.

I hope they read this and know that I thank them from the bottom of my heart. — Nancy in Fort Myers, Fla.

Like raisins in a fruitcake, cable marathons abound, offering plenty of chances for holiday diversions, distractions and escape when gifting, eating and the crush of togetherness becomes too much to bear. My personal favorite of the day has to be the 36-hour “Freaks and Geeks” (5 a.m. Saturday through 5 p.m. Sunday) marathon on IFC. As we prepare to enter the second decade of the 21st century, it’s fun to think of how much this short-lived comedy influenced the f irst. From creator Judd Apatow to stars James Franco, Seth Rogen and Jason Segel, “Freaks” may not have survived NBC’s fall 1999 season, but its impact continues.

Other marathons include a full day of “Star Wars” movies, kicking off at 9 a.m. on Spike.

Tonight’s other highlights ● “Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade” (Noon, ABC). ● Jane Lynch (“Glee”) hosts “TV’s Funniest Holiday Moments: A Paley Center for Media Special” (7 p.m., Fox). ● Shia LaBeouf stars in the 2007 blow’em-up “Transformers” (7 p.m.), directed

by Michael Bay. ● Tom Selleck returns in the 2010 detective movie “Jesse Stone: No Remorse” (7 p.m., CBS). ● The Doctor saves the soul of a crusty miser on “Doctor Who: A Christmas Carol” (8 p.m., BBC America). ● Scheduled on “48 Hours Mystery” (9 p.m., CBS): a mafia don’s daughter discusses her upbringing. ● Matt Smith, Matt Lucas and David Walliams appear on “The Graham Norton Show” (9 p.m., BBC America). ● Emma Stone hosts “Saturday Night Live” (10:30 p.m., NBC), featuring musical guest Kings of Leon.

Saturday series An animated search for Christmas on “Community” (7 p.m., NBC) ... Jack keeps secrets from his mother on “30 Rock” (7:30 p.m., NBC) ... Public works and public wrongs on “Law & Order: Los Angeles” (8 p.m., NBC) ... A case offers 30-yearold echoes on “Law & Order: SVU” (9 p.m., NBC).

The bus arrived early to give us some free time to explore the city. My friend Carl and I went to look at the shops inside a hotel and have a sandwich before show time.

The hotel had a huge automatic revolving door, each section capable of holding several people. Carl went into one section, and I followed in the next one. As I entered, my shoe caught on something and I fell flat on the floor.

I am nearing 80 and have two bad knees. There was no way I could get up, and the door was still moving. As I crawled along, I looked up to see two darling little hands reaching down to help me.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -WORLD

Hawkins looks to rebuild at Perry CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

And it’s even better when a guy like Moulaye Niang is right there to help out.

Niang, who played for KU from 2002-2005 before serving as a student assistant, coaches the JV team and works with players on their post technique. Hawkins said it’s been invaluable to have Niang with him on the bench.

Not only do the Kaws have the benefit of having two former Jayhawks coaching them up daily, there’s always the chance of a special guest showing up unannounced; like former KU standout Aaron Miles, who dropped in on Hawkins before the game on Tuesday, and offered up some words of advice to the Kaws afterward.

“I just appreciate the support that we have from the KU family,” Hawkins said. “That’s just how big it runs and how deep it goes.”

The KU ties are indeed deep for Hawkins as he begins his new profession, and especially tough to ignore when considering the names he’s played for.

“Before I even started coaching, I tried to figure out who I would model the most, coach Williams or coach (Bill) Self,” Hawkins said. “I

It’s not only Self and Williams who Hawkins has drawn inspiration from.

Hawkins said he’s tried to soak up of all the best traits and bits of knowledge from each one of his coaches, “from biddy ball to high school.”

“I just try to take them, put them in one pot and create a great coach,” Hawkins said.

One notable trait of Self’s has yet to make an appearance, though.

“We haven’t hit the term ‘boot camp’,” Hawkins said.

“But in some ways, I’m pretty sure they feel some of the wrath of boot camp, we just don’t call it that.”

Hawkins never liked the grueling conditioning programs, or practice itself, all that much — though he noted he always gave it his all. Now that he’s behind the clipboard, Hawkins has changed his tune.

“As a coach, I now see what (coach Self ) would mean when he’d say that sometimes he feels like the coaches are

more pumped up for practice than the players,” Hawkins said with a laugh.

As for this year’s Jayhawk team? Hawkins is as careful an observer as any other basketball-loving Lawrence resident.

“It looks like a lot of KU fans are smiling,” Hawkins said. “I like seeing KU fans smiling. I’m just really excited about their season.

“I see a lot of fire in this team,” Hawkins continued, citing Wednesday’s 78-63 victory at California.

Hawkins offered up a different take on the physical game, which featured a few scraps, a slew of technical fouls and an ejection.

“All of the players were rallying together,” Hawkins said.

“Through those hard times and scuffles, they were rallying together and they were all on each other’s team picking each other up. And I haven’t really seen that from KU for a while.”

Though he’s still a huge KU supporter — really, what else could you expect from a guy nicknamed JHawk? — Hawkins is dedicated to his new post.

“Every day my thought process is like, ‘what can I do to help these kids get better,’” Hawkins said.

Bowen accepts position at N. Texas CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

your career and help you stay alive in the profession.”

Although the Hilltoppers finished the 2010 season with a 2-10 record, Bowen received high praise for improving a defense that featured five true freshmen starting by season’s end.

“Clint did a great job for us this past season, and he laid a solid foundation for our defense,” WKU coach Willie Taggart said. “I really enjoyed working with him, and we wish him and his family well.

We improved defensively in many areas, and that was due to the collective efforts of Clint, our coaching staff and players.”

The move to North Texas, which finished 2010 at 3-9, keeps Bowen in the Sun Belt Conference. More important-

ly, it unites him with a head coach he’s known for quite some time.

“The first thing that excited me was Dan McCarney, the head coach,” Bowen said of the former Iowa State head coach. “Whenever we played him at Kansas, we always said ‘Man, that is the best-coached team in the Big 12 year after year. They do more with less talent than any other team.’

And so the idea of working with Dan was obviously a big plus. There’s a presence about the guy that’s hard to deny.

He’s really special in that way.”

In addition to McCarney, the North Texas administration’s recent upgrades also made the Mean Green attractive. The school that is located just north of Dallas, in Denton, Texas, currently is building a new stadium, which will

be connected to a football dorm, training room and workout facility.

“They’ve built a little football village there,” Bowen said. “They’re making a commitment to turning that program into conference champion and a winning program.”

Asked if such lofty goals could become a reality, Bowen answered with confidence.

“It’s a place that I know we can win at,” he said. “And win in a hurry and win big.”

The more he talked about his new job, the more it sounded like Bowen, who was in Lawrence last week, could not have been more excited about the next chapter in his life.

“Living in Texas, it’s a little bit closer to home, closer to Kansas,” he said. “And then being in Texas, obviously,

Texas is kind of centered around football in a lot of ways, so it will be fun to have an opportunity to be a part of that. There were just a lot of pluses. It was really a pretty easy decision.”

Miller joins Minnesota staff Another former KU assistant, Bill Miller, who worked under Mark Mangino in 2009, also has landed on a new campus.

Miller, a 32-year veteran of collegiate coaching, recently joined Jerry Kill’s staff at Minnesota, where he’ll serve as assistant head coach in charge of linebackers.

Miller left Kansas when Mangino resigned last December and did not coach in 2010. This will be Miller’s second stint at Minnesota. He was the Gophers’ defensive backs coach from 1986-88.

BRIEFLY Eudora’s Mays to play in All-American game Eudora fullback/linebacker Boomer Mays was selected to play in the All-American Bowl Game on Dec. 31 in Baton Rouge, La. Mays, a senior, will suit up for the West team and play

Mays

linebacker and handle long-snapping duties.

Mays was a first-team All-State selection and a firstteam Jour-

nal-World All-Area selection this past fall.

As a linebacker, he had 110 tackles last fall and 404 for his Eudora career. As a fullback, Mays rushed 113 times for 724 yards and 12 touchdowns last season for the Cardinals (6-4).

Mays, 6-foot-1, 220 pounds, orally committed to play foot-

ball next year at Northern Illinois.

NIU went 11-3 in the MidAmerican Conference this season. The Huskies defeated Fresno State, 40-17, on Dec. 18 in the Humanitarian Bowl.

Mays projects to play linebacker and long snapper at the collegiate level.

Baldwin CC continues winning tradition

By Ben Ward Journal-World Sports Writer

It’s tough to neatly sum up tradition, but in nearly every storied program — regardless of sport or level — there is one constant: winning.

And over the years, Baldwin High cross country has done quite a bit of that.

Under coach Mike Spielman, in his 19th season at Baldwin, the boys and girls cross country teams have won a whopping 17-combined Class Spielman 4A state championships.

Last fall at state, the Baldwin cross country team finished off their third sweep under Spielman: the girls team wrapped up their fourth-straight state championship, and the boys, who hadn’t won since 2005 — the last year of an eight-in-a-row stretch — reclaimed the familiar bit of hardware.

“Its pretty special,” Spielman said of this year’s total effort. “We’ve had a great group of kids that have bought in all along. Part of it is once

you get a tradition started, the next group doesn’t want to let it down.”

There’s that word again, though Spielman can’t put his finger on where it stemmed from exactly.

“Its kind of fun for me,” said Spielman, recently named Journal-World All-Area boys and girls cross country coach of the year. “Because each group (of kids) is different.”

And this year’s bunch was as good as Spielman has ever had.

Senior Tony Weiss (Journal-World All-Area boys CC athlete of the year) led the boys with a second place f inish at state, which Weiss capped off an outstanding career in which he placed in the topfour at state all four years.

The other runners on this year’s team were: freshman Ethan Hartzel, who finished sixth at state, juniors Tosh Mihesuah and Brian Wright, and seniors Brandon Baltzell, Kyle Garcia and Joey LaBuda.

After this year’s state title, senior Heather Karlin — who medaled all four years at state

— became the first girl in school history to win at state all four years.

The rest of the girls have a great shot to join that club by the time their high school careers are up, too.

Junior Elizabeth Sigvaldson (JournalWorld AllArea girls CC athlete of the year), took seventh at state and has medaled all three years Sigvaldson so far, and sophomores Sienna Durr and Kaitlyn Barnes have medaled in each of their first two seasons.

Freshman Katie Jones was one of Spielman’ top runners for most of the season, and though she was pushed down in a pile-up at state, still finished in 25th.

Throw in freshman Hannah Hutton and junior Carol Whaley, and Spielman sees no reason the girls can’t keep that winning tradition rolling next fall with a fifth straight title.

“Especially now that the girls that have won some in a row,” Spielman said. “They don’t want to be the group to break the streak.”

Perhaps that’s where the

years of consistent success stems from, regardless of the athletes Spielman has had at his disposal.

Following their eightstraight title run, the boys had gone without one for a few seasons while the girls began to go on their tear.

“During that time the boys were starting to get jealous,” Spielman said.

According to Spielman, the work ethic on both sides, whether in-season or not, has been outstanding.

“We have a few kids that (will play) basketball (this winter), and most of the rest of them do some running on their own,” he said.

Some of them then join Spielman in the spring, where he also serves as Baldwin’s boys track and field coach, but it’s during the summer where the commitment to success is most evident.

“I’ve never had a summer practice or mandatory practice because the kids are so good at getting together and doing it themselves,” Spielman said.

The tradition of winning that has blossomed under his direction is something Spielman cherishes.

“It’s really important for them to be able to have that for the rest of their life,” he said.

IN A PHOTO PROVIDED BY ESPN, LEBRON JAMES, LEFT, SITS with Jim Gray before an interview on July 8 in Greenwich, Conn. James announced his decision to join Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and the Miami Heat and leave the Cleveland Cavaliers after an unsuccessful seven-year quest for an NBA Championship. It was one of the more memorable sports moments of the past year.

List taps James’ decision as No. 2 CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

amateur — he went through a year without a win.

Also gone: his wife (divorce), his No. 1 ranking, a reported $22 million in endorsement income, what TMZ.com referred to as “237 mistresses” and a reported $110 million in the divorce settlement.

2. The LeBron Show It was clear LeBron James would alienate Cleveland by taking his immense talents to another NBA team.

No one expected James to alienate everyone but fans of his new team by asking executives from several franchises to come to Ohio and fawn over him and by allowing his free agency to end in an embarrassing T V show called “The Decision” in which 59-plus minutes of inanity surrounded the second he would have needed to say, “Miami.”

When Chris Bosh jumped to South Florida and Dwyane Wade decided to stay put with the Heat, there was immediate talk of the team breaking the Bulls’ single-season victory record (72). So when the Heat struggled the first six weeks of the season, there was an outpouring of schadenfreude from everywhere but South Florida, where the initial reaction was angst.

3. Party in New Orleans We often find our sports teams can do more than win games.

The Saints helped a city still reeling from the devastation of Hurricane Katrina feel that anything was possible.

Their Super Bowl victory showed the last could be first, that there Ain’ts no mountain high enough, that a team so shameful for decades its fans wore bags over their heads could make New Orleans hold its head high.

4. Giant achievement Perhaps the best thing about the Giants winning their first World Series since leaving New York for San Francisco after the 1957 season was Barry Bonds had nothing to do with it.

Instead of having an artificial giant personify the team, the Giants’ poster boy was a wisp of a pitcher, Tim Lincecum, who ended the Rangers’ World Series debut with eight innings of three-hit pitching in Game 5.

So there was a welcome element of pre-steroid and prefree agent baseball in the Giants’ victory, whose Series pitching rotation and the rookie who caught them all were homegrown.

5. Lakers reign A franchise that made its reputation on the offensive displays known as “Showtime” added another dimension to its image by winning the decisive game of the NBA Finals despite shooting only 32.5 percent.

In winning their 16th NBA title — and second straight — the Lakers held their storied rival, the Celtics, to 67 and 79 points in the final two games as they rallied to take the series, 4-3. It was a fifth title for Kobe Bryant and the 11th

(six in Chicago, five in L.A.) for coach Phil Jackson.

6. NFL uses its head The NFL likely would have kept its head in the sand had New York Times reporter Alan Schwarz not done one exceptional story after another about the short- and longterm dangers of head injuries in a sport that celebrates violence and a league that repeatedly denied concussions were a significant problem.

Shamed into action, the NFL started a concussion awareness program this season and began fining players heavily for dangerous tackles, especially those involving either player’s head.

7. Golden moment During the previous two Olympics in Canada, Summer (Montreal, 1976) and Winter (Calgary, 1988), the home team did not win a gold medal. In the 2010 Vancouver Winter Games, the only gold medal that counted in the Great White North wouldn’t be decided until the final day.

So when the Canadian men’s hockey team scored a dramatic overtime victory over the United States on a goal by national icon Sidney Crosby to close the festivities, it was even better than expected. It was among a Games-leading gold total of 14 for Canada as it reaped the benef its of a $110 million “Own the Podium” program.

8. Spain drinks from Cup Spain had been the country with all the great players and passionate fans and no world title. Africa had been the only continent (other than Antarctica) where one of the great global sports events, the World Cup and Olympics, never had stepped foot.

Spain overcame its frustration and the Dutch team for the title in a World Cup when host South Africa also was a winner, even if its team went out in the first round.

9. Jimmie’s drive for 5 In the 61 years since NASCAR has been crowning sprint champions, 28 drivers have won. Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt won seven each.

That leaves little space in the record books for distinctive achievements.

But Jimmie Johnson carved out a niche in his sport’s history by becoming the first driver to win five consecutive titles.

10. National treasure When Stephen Strasburg pitched his first major league game July 8, Sports Illustrated called it the “most hyped pitching debut the game has ever seen.”

The remarkable thing was the Nationals’ Strasburg lived up to the hype (14 strikeouts, no walks, four hits in seven innings) and then kept proving he was a phenom of legendary proportions, and, oh yes, there were those niggling questions about what his delivery might do to his arm.

He would be on the disabled list in July, done for the season in August and soon under the knife for elbow reconstruction surgery that may sideline him until 2012.
