KANSAS LEGISLATURE

Convening outside of Topeka has precedent

PREPARING FOR THE START OF THE 2011 STATE LEGISLATIVE SESSION, Senate Sgt. at Arms Jody Kirkwood, left, and session employer Roger Zlatnik attach name plates to desks in Senate chambers Wednesday. On Monday, Sam Brownback will be sworn in as the state’s governor.

2011 session opens Monday

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Kansas, get ready for some changes.

A political upheaval and growing budget hole precede the 2011 legislative session that starts Monday.

Over the past few years — through a historic recession and a landmark school-funding lawsuit — state government has been guided mostly by a razor-thin majority made up of moderate Republicans and Democrats.

That has never been more evident than in the past two years when tax revenues took

unprecedented drops resulting in six rounds of budget cuts and approval of a 1-cent state sales tax increase that went into effect July 1, 2010.

But the November election destroyed that coalition and set up what could be a march to the right on budget and social issues.

“There’s a change in Topeka,” noted Sen. Tom Holland, D-Baldwin City.

Sam Brownback, a Republican, will be sworn in Monday as governor. Brownback, who is primarily identified by his socially conservative views, has repeatedly emphasized he wants

to focus on improving the economy by narrowing the scope of government and building a more business-friendly tax and regulatory structure.

“We have got to get the growth agenda passed,” he said.

But Brownback has also said he welcomes the opportunity to sign into law new restrictions on abortion.

Kris Kobach, who has a national reputation of fighting illegal immigration, will be the secretary of state.

A Republican, Kobach said he plans to push for bills requiring voters to show photo identifica-

tion to vote and proof of citizenship to register to vote. He also wants to change the historically administrative secretary of state’s office into one that would allow him more leeway in prosecuting allegations of voter fraud.

And Derek Schmidt, also a Republican, will take over as attorney general after defeating incumbent Steve Six, a Democrat.

In the Republican tidal wave, Schmidt’s major campaign pledge was to file a legal challenge to President Barack Obama’s federal health care reform.

Lawrence officials weigh in on issues important to them

W

e asked local officials what’s on their minds, as the 2011 session of the Kansas Legislature gets under way this week. Here’s what they had to say.

At City Hall Lawrence City Hall leaders will spend much of the legislative session keeping an eye on the money. City Manager

David Corliss said he’ll be wary of any state plans that try to limit the flexibility local governments have in making spending decisions.

The city also will fight any proposals the state makes to reduce revenue streams that flow to cities, Corliss said. The city previously has lobbied against proposals that would allow the state to keep liquor tax

money that currently goes primarily to the city. In Lawrence, the liquor tax is a major source of funding for recreation and social service programs.

TOPEKA — A proposal to get the Kansas Legislature to conduct a one-day session in Lecompton as part of the state’s 150th anniversary of statehood is getting a boost from history.

In 1961, the Legislature made a similar trip to Kansas’ first territorial capital at Fort Riley to celebrate Kansas’ 100th anniversary.

Lawrence attorney Glee Smith, who was a state senator from Larned at the time, remembers that trip.

“We had buses that took us out there. The whole Legislature went out,” Smith said.

Paul Bahnmaier, president of Lecompton Historical Society, wants legislators to convene in Lecompton on Kansas Day this year to recognize the town’s his- Smith torical significance.

Located between Topeka and Lawrence, Lecompton has been called the “Birthplace of the Civil War — Where Slavery Began to Die.” The pro-slavery Lecompton Constitution written there was rejected by Congress and led to a split in the Democratic Party, which allowed Republican Abraham Lincoln to win the presidency with 39 percent of the vote.

But Bahnmaier’s request is in limbo because the Kansas Constitution requires the Legislature to meet only in the state capital.

Smith, the former legislator, said he doesn’t know if that question came up 50 years ago.

“I think we just went ahead and did it,” he said.

According to a news report of the Feb. 22, 1961, event, the Legislature met at the old Pawnee Capital at Fort Riley and adopted a resolution pertaining to Kansas that read: “May its citizens and their elected officials have the will and desire to continue onward and upward along the path to better and more considerate living, always with due regard for the rights of others, that Kansas’ rate of achievement may even exceed in the next century that which was accomplished in the first.”

In July 1855, the site was where the so-called “bogus” Legislature convened the first legislative session in Kansas. The legislators camped in tents and did their own cooking. At the 1961 event, state Sen. Paul Wunsch, RKingman, joked: “Oh, where were the lobbyists.”

After the 1961 celebration, the legislators went to Manhattan for dinner and then attended the Kansas University-Kansas State basketball game. K-State won 81-63 to leap into a tie with KU for the lead in the Big 8.

THIS IS A VIEW FROM THE FRONT BALCONY of the Senate chambers at the Topeka Capitol building. Several images were merged in Photoshop to created the panorama.

New session begins Monday CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Overwhelming majorities The Kansas House went from a 76-49 Republican majority to 92-33, the largest advantage for the GOP in more than 50 years. And it’s the conservative wing of the Republican Party that is in charge.

Since the election, conservative Republicans have said they want to repeal the state sales tax increase, further restrict abortion, allow concealed carry of guns on campuses, derail federal health care reform, and trot out a number of other proposals that have been stymied in recent years.

The Kansas Senate now stands with a 32-8 Republican majority. Over the past few years, the chamber has leaned toward the moderate side.

At a recent legislative forum in Lawrence, Rep. Ann Mah, D-Topeka, turned to Sens. Marci Francisco, DLawrence, and Holland, and said, “Marci, Tom, put on your big-girl and big-boy pants. Now more than ever, the Senate will have to be a backstop.”

But with the electorate signaling a right turn, and the Senate up for re-election in two years, that moderate lean may disappear.

Kansas Republican Party officials are envisioning a long rule and have already put together a strategic plan to increase their number of elected officials and registered voters and to groom the next generation of GOP leaders.

Democrats will be playing defense with fewer players following what for them was

“

Marci, Tom, put on your big-girl and big-boy pants. Now more than ever, the Senate will have to be a backstop.”

— State Rep. Ann Mah, D-Topeka, at a recent legislative forum in Lawrence a disastrous election.

Despite the lower numbers, Rep. Barbara Ballard, DLawrence, said, “The mission stays the same. We must respond to our constituents.

That doesn’t change with numbers.”

Sales tax repeal On the most immediate financial front, a group of House Republicans will push for repeal of the 1-cent increase in the state sales tax.

“I think the sales tax (increase) did hurt Kansas,” said Rep. Anthony Brown, REudora.

Although Brownback has criticized the tax increase, he has spoken out against repealing the levy.

In this matter, he has allies among Democrats who said the increase was needed to prevent damaging cuts to schools, public safety and social services. Repealing the tax would increase the budget hole from $550 million to $850 million.

But Brownback wants to eventually restructure the tax system to make Kansas more appealing to businesses, which, he says, will lead to economic growth.

Rep. TerriLois Gregory, a newly elected legislator from Baldwin City, agrees with this philosophy. She said that

Officials weigh in on important issues CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

urges legislators to be open to funding alternative forms of transportation. ● Opposes legislation that limits the city’s authority to annex new property. ● Urges state legislators to actively seek the advice of Lawrence leaders on the issue of Congressional redistricting. Debate is likely to emerge about whether Lawrence should be entirely in the 2nd Congressional district, or whether it should be split between the 2nd and 3rd Districts.

— Chad Lawhorn

Local schools When it comes to the upcoming session of the Kansas Legislature, it’s not what the Lawrence school district wants as much as what it doesn’t want.

“Don’t take any money away,” said Frank Harwood, the district’s chief operations officer. “And if you’re going to make us do something new, completely fund it.”

It won’t be easy.

As legislators g rapple with their own anticipated $500 million budget hole, district off icials f ig ure they’ll lose anywhere from $1.5 million to $5 million for the 2011-12 school year. They

fear it could get worse if legislators repeal a 1-percent statewide sales tax.

Legislative cuts already forced the district to slice $4.6 million heading into this current academic year, part of more than $7 million lost during the past three years.

While the district will ask legislators to finance extension of all-day kindergarten into all 15 elementary schools, plus more money for early-childhood programs, simply keeping what’s provided now is the biggest hope, Harwood said.

— Mark Fagan

At KU For Kansas University, this legislative session will center on two goals, KU’s state lobbyist said.

“We’re looking for targeted investment,” said Kathy Damron, KU’s director of state relations. “Along with the repeal of those things that no longer make sense and will allow the university to operate more efficiently.”

By encouraging “targeted investment,” KU wants to ensure that priority areas receive adequate funding, Damron said, namely those areas that have a direct economic impact on the state.

That means an investment in KU’s new multiyear engi-

neering building plan on campus, and continued support of the university’s quest for National Cancer Institute designation.

Damron said that the efficiency measures sought this year likely wouldn’t bring the big savings that other measures — such as revamping of the university’s purchasing rules — brought in previous years.

“We are very encouraged with the robust discussions between the chancellor and university leadership and the governor-elect” and other top state leaders, Damron said. “They certainly understand that higher education is an economic driver for the state.”

— Andy Hyland

Health community The Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department’s top legislative priority is to preserve the smoking ban.

Director Dan Partridge said the ban saves the state money in health care costs and, more importantly, it saves lives.

“It’s nonsensical in my mind to even go there,” Partridge said.

The department also supports preservation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Par-

tridge said he hopes legislators discuss how to implement the law rather than how to repeal it because it contains much-needed changes.

He said the state needs to continue to be proactive in applying for federal grant money and in setting up its own health insurance exchange.

“I hope we — as a state — don’t take a short-sided view of this and try to prove a point politically at the expense of people’s health care,” Partridge said.

David Johnson, CEO of Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center, agrees. One of the hallmarks of the bill is going to be more equal treatment for mental illnesses.

He was encouraged to hear Gov.-elect Sam Brownback talk about reforming Medicaid. Johnson said changing Medicaid to more of a managed care program would save money and provide better services.

About 50 percent of the people who get mental health services first get them at an expensive state hospital because that’s what Medicaid pays for. If Medicaid paid for early intervention, education and prevention, then those high hospitalization costs could be reduced, he said.

across the nation population is shifting to low-tax states, including those with no corporate income tax.

“We are going to review tax policy and see what is going to be successful,” Gregory said.

Gregory, elected chair of the freshman class of House Republicans, said more can be cut from the state budget, and more state services can be turned over to the private sector.

On the issue of spending, Brownback has already said he would not propose replacing $200 million in expiring federal stimulus funding to schools. And, he said, higher education will not see an increase either.

But Ballard said funding education is key to helping the economy.

“Education is an investment and is certainly a part of economic development,” she said.

The reduction in state funding will, as it has in recent years, affect local governments. For example, the Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center in Lawrence has lost $1.2 million in state funding in the past two years.

A statement from the Douglas County Commission is typical of the “do no harm” pleas that local governments are making to the Legislature.

“We are not asking for any kind of bailout,” the statement says. “We are asking you to do everything possible to not making the situation any worse than it already is for our shared constituents.”

Officials: American woman is free An American woman reportedly arrested in Iran for espionage has been located by U.S. officials and is safe and not in Iranian custody, the State Department said Saturday.

A U.S. official who declined to be identified due to privacy concerns said that the woman, identified by Iranian authorities as 34-year-old Hal Fayalan, is in Istanbul, Turkey, and that American consular officials have been in touch with her.

Earlier Saturday, a senior Iranian police official said Iranian border guards had detained the woman on Wednesday in the town of Jolfa along Iran’s border with Azerbaijan on suspicion of spying, the latest in a string of conflicting reports about the case.

Gen. Ahmad Geravand told Iranian state radio that authorities arrested the woman while she was filming border crossings and guard posts in Jolfa, contradicting an earlier denial of her arrest on state TV.

WikiLeaks subpoenas uncovered Investigative documents in the WikiLeaks probe spilled out into the public domain Saturday for the first time, pointing to the Obama administration’s determination to assemble a criminal case no matter how long it takes and how far afield authorities have to go.

Backed by a magistrate judge’s court order from Dec. 14, the newly disclosed documents sent to Twitter Inc. by the U.S. attorney’s office in Alexandria, Va., demand details about the accounts of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and Pfc. Bradley Manning, the Army intelligence analyst who’s in custody and suspected of supplying WikiLeaks with classified information.

The others whose Twitter accounts are targeted in the prosecutors’ demand are Birgitta Jonsdottir, an Icelandic parliamentarian and one-time WikiLeaks collaborator; Dutch hacker Rop Gonggrijp; and U.S. programmer Jacob Appelbaum. Gonggrijp and Appelbaum have worked with WikiLeaks in the past.

14 decapitated bodies found The bodies of 15 men, all but one of them headless, were found on a street outside a shopping center in Acapulco on Saturday as police reported 27 people slain in the Pacific resort in less than a day.

The decapitated victims, all of whom appeared to be in their 20s, were discovered in an area not frequented by tourists.

Handwritten signs left with the bodies were signed by “El Chapo’s People” — a reference to the Sinaloa cartel, headed by drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman — said Fernando Monreal Leyva, director of investigative police for Guerrero state, where Acapulco is located.

The narco-messages indicated the Sinaloa cartel killed them for trying to intrude on the gang’s turf and extort residents.

$1.5M grant to help studies on carbon dioxide storage —————

Kansas Geological Survey will collect data using land-mapping tool

year ago to evaluate if carbon dioxide could be stored in Kansas.

Across the world, scientists are studying ways to store industrial-produced carbon dioxide underground as a way to curb greenhouse gases.

Researchers in Kansas are considering a deep saline aquifer in south-central and southwestern Kansas called the Arbuckle.

TOPEKA — Ramon Gonzalez Jr., chief of the Perry Police Department, on Saturday was elected state representative of the 47th House District to replace Lee Tafanelli. He will take office Monday at the start of the 2011 legislative session.

Gonzalez, 63, defeated Richard Malm of Valley Falls in a 15-9 vote of Republican precinct committeemen and committeewomen, according to Travis Oliver, chair of the Jefferson County Republican Central Committee.

Six candidates had been nominated, but four were eliminated in earlier rounds of voting, he said. The election was conducted at the American Legion Post in Oskaloosa.

Tafanelli, R-Ozawkie, resigned his seat after he was appointed Kansas Adjutant General by Gov.-elect Sam Brownback.

“He (Gonzalez) will have some big shoes to fill,” Oliver said. “Lee was a good representative and a good man.”

The district includes Jefferson County and part of Atchison County.

Gonzalez is retired from Southwestern Bell and also is a special investigator for the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department.

He said he is looking forward to applying his experience in law enforcement and management to his new position.

“I've always been involved in public service, and this is another avenue to serve the community,” Gonzalez said.

He said he will continue as police chief and his post with the sheriff’s department, saying both are part-time jobs.

SOUND OFF

Q:

I’ve noticed a lot of chimney-sweep business signs around town at stop signs and corners. Is it legal to put up signs like that in Lawrence?

A:

According to Megan Gilliland, communications director for the city: “It is not legal to place any type of private signs in the city’s right-of-way adjacent to city streets. The code enforcement division actively removes signs in the right-ofway.”

ON THE RECORD

LJWORLD.COM/BLOTTER

LAW ENFORCEMENT REPORT • An apartment building in the 2400 block of Louisiana Street was evacuated Saturday evening after a furnace fire filled the building with heavy smoke.

According to Douglas County emergency dispatchers, shortly before 9:30 p.m. a maintenance worker called in a furnace on fire at Malls Olde English Village apartments. Police and fire units responded to the call.

Less than 10 minutes after the fire was reported, it was out.

Fire personnel worked to ventilate the building to eliminate some of the smoke.

Group asks Brownback City to consider aircraft-hanger plan to keep tax increase LAWRENCE CITY COMMISSION

Agenda highlights • 6:35 p.m. Tuesday • City Hall, Sixth and Massachusetts streets • Sunflower Broadband Channel 25 • Meeting documents online at lawrenceks.org

BOTTOM LINE

By Scott Rothschild

BACKGROUND

City commissioners will consider a request from the city’s Aviation Advisory Board to build 20 new Thangars for small aircraft at the Lawrence Municipal Airport.

srothschild@ljworld.com

T O P E K A — A coalition of social service, education and health organizations on Friday urged incoming Gov. Sam Brownback and the Kansas Legislature to reject attempts to repeal the 1-cent state sales tax rate increase.

In a news release, Kansans for Quality Communities said state budget cuts since 2008 have hurt many Kansans, and the sales tax increase approved during the last legislative session “kept things from getting even worse.”

The group said, “This is a time to be cautious. It is not the time to cut revenues and put the budget back into crisis.”

Brownback, a Republican, takes office Monday as the 2011 legislative session starts amid an estimated $550 million revenue shortfall.

Many new House Republicans have said they would like to repeal the sales tax increase, but Brownback has voiced opposition to that idea. Repeal of the levy would cost state government another $300 million per year.

The coalition urged the Legislature to preserve Kansas’ quality of life.

“Our strength lies in our commitment to communities that support a quality of life that is second to none,” the group said.

“It is that quality of life — education, infrastructure, public safety, and care for our neighbors who need our help — that is the best tool for economic development and prosperity,” the coalition said.

The coalition includes the Association of Community Mental Health Centers of Kansas, Disability Rights Center of Kansas, InterHab Resource Network for Kansans with Disabilities, Kansas Area Agencies on Aging Association, American Federation of Teachers—Kansas, Kansas Association of School Boards, Kansas Citizens for the Arts, Kansas Families for Education, Kansas Health Care Association, Kansas National Education Association, Kansas Organization of State Employees, National Alliance on Mental Illness, Olathe Schools First, Oral Health Kansas and Statewide Independent Living Council of Kansas.

The airport currently has 30 hangars that are leased, and there is a waiting list of 41 people who have expressed interest in new T-hangar space.

Current estimates are that it would cost $1.3 million to construct 20 new hangars. City staff members are recommending that commissioners agree to hire an architect to design the project in order to get better cost estimates.

Once the design is complete, commissioners can determine if the project is financially feasible.

Students honor MLK CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

asked the school to come up with an idea to honor Martin Luther King Jr. Day. When asked why they chose a food drive, Olivia had a fairly straightforward and simple rationale.

“Because they don’t have homes and need food,” she said.

Bay spent some time talking to a shelter volunteer, asking about homelessness locally and what the community could do to help.

Bay said he hopes events such as the march inspire and encourage students to take “ownership” of social problems in Lawrence.

“One of the values we have is … taking care of our community,” he said.

Saibal Bhattacharya, a researcher at the KGS who is a principal investigator in the project along with geologist Jason Rush.

In the end, Bhattacharya said the research team hopes to learn if the aquifer is big enough to make storing carbon dioxide worthwhile and if there is a risk of carbon dioxide leaking to the surface.

The research being done by the KGS is just one of many aspects in studying the feasibility of carbon sequestration.

Researchers in other parts of the country are studying ways to capture carbon emissions and how to transport those emissions to storage areas.

“There’s lots of unanswered questions,” Bhattacharya said.

What Bhattacharya and Rush learn can also be applied to the oil and gas industry, Bhattacharya said. The Kansas Geological Survey is partnering with Murfin Drilling Co. and Vess Oil Corp. on the project.

Kansas inaugural ball promotes charity efforts

By John Hanna

“

government.”

We’re asking people to give (to) the charity of their Yet there was room for choice and pray for the state. … We’re going to have bipartisanship, with Democratic officials in attendance.

— Hundreds of to just help each other out a lot more.”

Associated Press Writer

TOPEKA public officials and wellwishers dined on beef tenderloin and made toasts to Kansas and Gov.-elect Sam Brownback during a Saturday night inaugural dinner and ball that mixed dancing, scaled-back pomp, a chance to mingle with the state’s new political elite and a little charity.

About 2,200 people filled the Kansas Expocentre’s convention hall in Topeka and spilled into the adjacent hockey and basketball arena.

The traditional dinner and ball were scheduled after a VIP event attended by several hundred people, including Brownback and First Ladyin-waiting Mary Brownback.

The new governor takes office Monday.

Following tradition, the Brownbacks had the first dance of the ball, a country swing to “Never Gonna Change.” Then, the governorelect did a country waltz with his 13-year-old daughter, Jenna, as his wife danced with their 13-year-old son, Mark.

The incoming governor has made a point of linking his inaugural to events that

— Gov.-elect Sam Brownback promote community service, including a blood drive in Hays and charity work in Pittsburg and Wichita. Topeka Rescue Mission staff handled coat-checking, with tips going to the homeless shelter.

Brownback’s team estimated that they raised nearly $500,000 through ticket sales and private contributions to cover the cost. Brownback had promised that his events would be less costly than those in the past in order to set the right tone in a soft economy — though by tradition, private dollars cover the festivities. Four years ago, in better times, the festivities cost $563,000.

The governor-elect told The Associated Press that he still hopes to make a sizeable donation to charity from the ticket sales and private contributions. State law says any leftover funds must go to defray the cost of the swearing-in ceremony and then, to upkeep and repairs at Cedar Crest, the governor’s resi-

dence. But Brownback said he’ll ask legislators to change that before his inaugural committee has to turn over the money in July.

“We’re asking people to give (to) the charity of their choice and pray for the state,” Brownback said. Then, alluding to the state’s budget problems, he added, “We’re going to have to just help each other out a lot more.”

Even with less expense, it was a party, especially for Brownback’s fellow Republicans. The GOP has plenty to celebrate from last year’s elections, which gave them the first sweep of statewide and congressional races on the ballot since 1964. During a toast honoring Brownback, Kansas House Speaker Mike O’Neal said he could describe his wine glass as half-full instead of half-empty because of those victories.

“Sam, we’ve been waiting a long time for this moment,” O’Neal said. “We’re ready for a permanent reset of state

State Sen. Marci Francisco, a Lawrence Democrat, wore a lime green gown made by her mother several decades ago and said she was glad to celebrate the start of a new year and mingle with “the people I’m going to be working with.”

Veteran inaugural-goer Mary Alice Lair, of Chanute, was attending her sixth ball, her string starting in 1975. A former Republican National Committee member, she’s widely known in state GOP circles for eye-catching spangled outfits, but she wore a black and gray gown for Brownback’s festivities.

“I’m getting sort of conservative,” she said. “I love the bling, but I’m leaving that to my friends.”

Tickets started at $125 each, but a spot in the VIP reception started at $500.

Individuals and corporations also are allowed by Kansas law to give an extra $2,000 after buying their tickets, with the donors disclosed in a report filed with the secretary of state’s office in March.

injuries receive a lower number, and those with lesssevere disabilities have a higher number. The points for the five players on one team who can be on the court at one time can’t exceed 12.

The wheelchairs — which cost around $3,000 — are specially designed for the sport, with tires that look like they’ve been smashed inward. A few times a game, you can expect to see players crashing to the floor in a nosedive as the wheelchairs f l i p fo r wa rd . I n s te a d o f gasps from the dedicated audience, it’s no big deal and players often get up quickly.

The Wheelhawks include about a dozen players from the Topeka and Lawrence area, and the team — which is currently ranked 17th in the nation by the National Wheelchair Basketball Association — compete in about one tournament a month during the winter season. This weekend’s tournament will continue today at Holcomb, 2700 W. 27th St., including an 11:30 a.m. exhibition game, where spectators will have a chance to try out the sport.

how tight-knit the Wheelhawks are.

Stirn raced down the court and flipped the ball to teammate Clayton Peters, who banked in an easy layup.

Stirn, meanwhile, took one of those violent crashes to the floor. Peters immediately skirted over to Stirn, who grabbed the legs on Peters’ chair and boosted himself up so fast that it was clear they’ve done this many times before.

“It’s your team,” said Peters, whose second-half three-point shooting helped the Wheelhawks claw back.

“You develop a close bond.”

Shooting targets U.S. congresswoman, kills 6 EMERGENCY PERSONNEL USE A STRETCHER TO CARRY A SHOOTING VICTIM outside a shopping center in Tucson, Ariz. on Saturday where U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, DAriz., and others were shot as the congresswoman was meeting with constituents.

By Amanda Lee Myers and David Espo Associated Press Writers

TUCSON, ARIZ. — A gunman nearly unloaded a semiautomatic weapon in a busy supermarket Saturday during a public gathering for Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, wounding the Democrat and killing Arizona’s chief federal judge and five others in an attempted assassination that left Americans questioning whether divisive politics had pushed the suspect over the edge.

The shooting targeted Giffords and left the three-term congresswoman in critical condition after a bullet passed through her head. A shaken President Barack Obama called the attack “a tragedy for our entire country.”

Giffords, 40, is a moderate Democrat who narrowly won re-election in November against a tea party candidate who sought to throw her from office over her support of the health care law. Anger over her position became violent at times, with her Tucson office vandalized after the House passed the overhaul last March and someone showing up at a recent gathering with a weapon.

Police say the alleged shooter was in custody, and was identified by people familiar with the investigation as Jared Loughner, 22. U.S. officials who provided his name to the AP spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release it publicly.

His motivation was not immediately known, but Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik described him as mentally unstable and possibly acting with an accomplice.

Dupnik said Giffords was among 13 people wounded in the melee that killed six people — including 9-year-old Christina Greene, 30-yearold Gifford aide Gabe Zim-

merman, and U.S. District Judge John Roll. The 63year-old judge had just stopped by to see his friend Giffords after attending Mass. Dupnik said the rampage ended only after two people tackled the gunman.

Also killed were 76-year-old Dorthy Murray, 76-year-old Dorwin Stoddard, and 79year-old Phyllis Scheck, investigators said.

The sheriff blamed the vitriolic political rhetoric that has consumed the country, much of it occurring in Arizona.

“When you look at unbalanced people, how they respond to the vitriol that comes out of certain mouths about tearing down the government. The anger, the hatred, the bigotry that goes on in this country is getting to be outrageous,” he said. “And unfortunately, Arizona, I think, has become the capital.

We have become the mecca for prejudice and bigotry.”

Giffords expressed similar concern, even before the shooting. In an interview after

her office was vandalized, she referred to the animosity against her by conservatives, including Sarah Palin’s decision to list Giffords’ seat as one of the top “targets” in the midterm elections.

“For example, we’re on Sarah Palin’s targeted list, but the thing is, that the way that she has it depicted has the crosshairs of a gun sight over our district. When people do that, they have to realize that there are consequences to that action,” Giffords said in an interview with MSNBC. In the hours after the shooting, Palin issued a statement in which she expressed her “sincere condolences” to the family of Giffords and the other victims.

During his campaign effort to unseat Giffords in November, Republican challenger Jesse Kelly held fundraisers where he urged supporters to help remove Giffords from office by joining him to shoot a fully loaded M-16 rifle. Kelly is a former Marine who served in Iraq and was pic-

tured on his website in military gear holding his automatic weapon.

“I don’t see the connection,” between the fundraisers featuring weapons and Saturday’s shooting, said John Ellinwood, Kelly’s spokesman. “I don’t know this person, we cannot find any records that he was associated with the campaign in any way. I just don’t see the connection.

“Arizona is a state where people are firearms owners — this was just a deranged individual.”

Law enforcement officials said members of Congress reported 42 cases of threats or violence in the first three months of 2010, nearly three times the 15 cases reported during the same period a year earlier. Nearly all dealt with the health care bill, and Giffords was among the targets.

The shooting cast a pall over the Capitol as politicians of all stripes denounced the attack as a horrific. Capitol police asked members of Con-

Kansas officials outraged by shooting KANSAS CITY, MO. — Kansas officials say their prayers are with the victims of an Arizona shooting rampage that killed at least five people and wounded Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords.

Republican Congressman Kevin Yoder called the shooting a “senseless tragedy” in a statement and said it was a “horrifically sad day.”

Republican Congressman gress to be more vigilant about security in the wake of the shooting. Obama dispatched his FBI chief to Arizona.

Giffords, known as “Gabby,” tweeted shortly before the shooting, describing her “Congress on Your Corner” event: “My 1st Congress on Your Corner starts now. Please stop by to let me know what is on your mind or tweet me later.”

“It’s not surprising that today Gabby was doing what she always does, listening to the hopes and concerns of her neighbors,” Obama said.

“That is the essence of what our democracy is about.”

Mark Kimball, a communications staffer for Giffords, described the scene as “just complete chaos, people screaming, crying.” The gunman fired at Giffords and her district director and started shooting indiscriminately at staffers and others standing in line to talk to the congresswoman, Kimball said.

“He was not more than three or four feet from the congresswoman and the district director,” he said.

Expected to survive Doctors were optimistic about Giffords surviving as she was responding to commands from doctors. “With guarded optimism, I hope she

Jerry Moran said in a statement that Giffords “understands the value of listening to the concerns of her constituents.” The shooting happened outside a grocery store during a meeting with constituents.

Republican Sen. Pat Roberts, said in a statement that he was thinking about the congresswoman’s friends, family, staff and all those affected. will survive, but this is a very devastating wound,” said Dr. Richard Carmona, the former surgeon general who lives in Tucson.

Giffords spokesman C.J. Karamargin said three Giffords staffers were shot. One died, and the other two are expected to survive. Gabe Zimmerman, a former social worker who served as Giffords’ director of community outreach, died. Giffords had worked with the judge in the past to line up funding to build a new courthouse in Yuma, and Obama hailed him for his nearly 40 years of service.

An uncle of the 9-year-old girl told the Arizona Republic that a neighbor was going to the event and invited her along because she had just been elected to the student council and was interested in government.

A former classmate described Loughner as a potsmoking loner, and the Army said he tried to enlist in December 2008 but was rejected for undisclosed reasons.

Federal law enforcement officials were poring over versions of a MySpace page that included a mysterious “Goodbye friends” message published hours before the shooting and exhorted his friends to “Please don’t be mad at me.”

EDITORIALS

Lots to like Lawrence and Kansas University don’t need to change, but our image in the Kansas Legislature needs some work. eing different isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

State Rep. Anthony Brown, R-Eudora, struck a nerve on Wednesday when he told a Lawrence Chamber of Commerce gathering that “KU and Lawrence are not very well respected” in the Kansas Legislature because they are viewed as too liberal.

Brown’s comment really should come as no surprise to Lawrence and Kansas University officials, but that doesn’t mean that they should take such abuse lying down.

Exactly how different Lawrence is from the rest of the state is open to debate but many of the differences people could cite about our city are decidedly positive, not negative. We have a vital community that always draws high marks for its quality of life. Large numbers of retirees who no longer are tied to jobs in other cities and can live anywhere they want choose to return to Lawrence because of its ambiance, its location close to a metropolitan area and, often most importantly, because it is the home to a major teaching and research university.

KU is a primary factor in what sets Lawrence apart from many Kansas communities — in a good way. It draws many highly educated people to Lawrence and enjoys a strong national reputation. It is the only university in Kansas to be ranked by the Fiske Guide to Colleges and to hold membership in the prestigious Association of American Universities.

University activities add tremendously to the artistic, athletic and cultural offerings in Lawrence. The research and teaching done at KU benefits Kansas students, Kansas business, Kansas health care and many other facets of the state.

With all that Lawrence and the university have to offer to local residents as well as to people across the state, why would it have “a bad reputation” in the Kansas Legislature?

Maybe they just need to get to know us a little better.

The sad truth is that Brown’s statement is correct; many legislators do think Lawrence is too liberal or too different and he’s not wrong when he says that perception “needs to change.” But it won’t change if Lawrence and KU let statements like Brown’s go unchallenged. Lawrence and KU need to do a better job of telling their stories!

They need to meet with legislators and other state leaders, talk to them one on one about what KU and Lawrence have to offer.

They should go into the conversation armed with facts and anecdotal evidence — not with a chip on their shoulders or an arrogant attitude. Legislators and other leaders need to understand that the people in Lawrence and Douglas County aren’t really so different from people in the rest of the state (many people who live in Lawrence grew up in other parts of the state) — and that whatever differences we have should be viewed as a potential benefit for the state, rather than qualifying us to be locked in the attic (How many elected and appointed state officials actually choose to live here and commute to Topeka?).

Rather than be angry about Brown’s comments, KU and Lawrence should take them as a challenge. There is plenty that state officials should like about Lawrence. Let’s tell them all about it.

Local Red Cross AGO officials said that there didn’t seem to be IN 1986 as much fear of that connection in Lawrence, and that screenings of local blood for AIDS antibodies had not yet turned up any “true positives” from this area.

Midwest Republicans go on offensive W A S H I N G T O N — Consensus is scarce but almost everyone agrees with this: The government is dysfunctional and the Internet is splendid. But last month, the Democratic-controlled Federal Communications Commission, on a partisan 3-2 vote, did what a federal court says it has no power to do: It decided to regulate the Internet in the name of “net neutrality.”

The next morning, a man who can discipline the FCC said: Well, we’ll just see about that. “We are going to be a dog to the Frisbee on this issue.”

Rep. Fred Upton, 57, who represents southwestern Michigan, is now chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.

He notes that last summer the Progressive Change Campaign Committee got 95 Democratic congressional candidates to pledge support for federal regulation of the Internet. In November, all 95 lost. Upton will try to stymie the FCC’s impertinence by using the Congressional Review Act, under which a measure to reverse a regulation gets expedited consideration and cannot be filibustered in the Senate.

The capacious jurisdiction of Upton’s committee will allow him, if he so desires, to issue the biblical command “Let there be light” by pushing repeal of the 2007 law that, in 2014, effectively bans sales of incandescent light bulbs. This law, which creates a captive market for those annoying, twisty, flickering fluorescent

bulbs, is protectionism disguised as environmentalism: It is corporate welfare for U.S. bulb makers afraid of competition from imported incandescents.

But Upton has a bigger repeal in mind. He thinks enough Democrats will join all 242 House Republicans in voting to repeal Obamacare, and that repeal will come within 25 or so votes of the 290 necessary to override a presidential veto. This will intensify pressure on other Democratic members — imagine their town hall meetings — who could provide the veto-proof margin.

Upton thinks opposition to Obamacare is intensifying as people realize the reality behind

Barack Obama’s slippery promise that if you like your present health care plan, you can keep it.

The new law will not directly take it away, but its requirement that businesses either provide expensive government-approved insurance or pay a fine is designed to prompt businesses to drop their insurance, pay the fine and dump employees into Medicaid. Upton favors deregulating Medicaid by giving governors block grants and latitude: “Cut the strings and let the states figure it out.”

He majored in journalism at the University of Michigan and was a sports editor of the student newspaper, thinking he might eventually cover the Chicago Cubs. He avoided that misery by coming to Washington in 1977 to work for the freshman congressman from his district, David Stockman, who in 1981 took Upton with him to the White House when he became President Reagan’s budget director.

Upton was elected in 1986 and has begun his 13th term. His state has more than its share of problems: The automobile industry is a shadow of its former self, the unemployment rate is 12.4 percent, 68 municipalities are on the state’s fiscal watch list (38 are rated worse than Hamtramck, which is seeking permission to file for bankruptcy), the 2010 Census will cost the state a House seat, and, worst of all, Michigan has lost seven consecutive football games to Ohio State.

Michigan’s power is waxing in

Washington, with Upton’s boon companion Dave Camp, chairman of the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee. They are part of a Midwestern ascendancy in the House, which also includes Ohio’s John Boehner (speaker), Michigan’s Mike Rogers (chairman of the Intelligence Committee), Wisconsin’s Paul Ryan (chairman of Budget), Minnesota’s John Kline (chairman of Education and Labor), and Missouri’s Sam Graves (chairman of Small Business).

The Midwest has much to lose from Obama’s agenda, particularly his animus against coal, which generates 60 percent of the region’s electricity — 90 percent in Ohio and Indiana. Officials of a steel tank manufacturer in Niles, Mich., recently told Upton that cap-and-trade carbon regulation would have meant an instant 20 percent increase in electricity costs, which would have forced the company to operate only at night in order to take advantage of off-peak rates.

Such mundane matters may be intensely boring to Obama administration officials, to whom the private sector is as foreign as Mongolia. But the next presidential election probably will be won in the Midwest. Soon House Republicans from there will begin conducting a two-year tutorial on the reasons the region should continue to recoil from this administration.

‘Huck Finn’ censorship is just wrong It is, perhaps, the seminal moment in American literature.

Young Huck Finn, trying to get right with God and save his soul from a forever of fire, sits there with the freshly written note in hand. “Miss Watson,” it says, “your runaway nigger Jim is down here two mile below Pikesville and Mr. Phelps has got him and he will give him up for the reward if you send.”

Huck knows it is a sin to steal and he is whipped by guilt for the role he has played in helping the slave Jim steal himself from a poor old woman who never did Huck any harm. But see, Jim has become Huck’s friend, has sacrificed for him, worried about him, laughed and sung with him, depended upon him. So what, really, is the right thing to do?

“I was a-trembling,” says Huck, “because I’d got to decide, forever, betwixt two things

the first place, any work of “artInrepresents a series of conscious choices on the part of the artist — what color to paint, what note to play, what word to use — in that artist’s attempt to share what is in his or her soul. The audience is free to accept or reject those choices; it is emphatically NOT free to substitute its own.”

and I knowed it. I studied a minute, sort of holding my breath, and then says to myself: ‘All right, then, I’ll go to hell’ — and tore it up.”

When NewSouth Books releases its new version of Mark Twain’s “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” next month, that revelatory moment will contain one troubling change. Publishers Weekly reported last week that in this edition, edited by Twain scholar Alan Gribben of Auburn University, all 219 occurrences of the so-called N-word will be cut. Huck’s note will now call Jim a “runaway SLAVE.” Twain’s use of the word “Injun” will also be struck.

Gribben brings good intentions to this act of literary graffiti, this attempt to impose political correctness upon the most political-

ly incorrect of American authors. He told PW that many teachers feel they can’t use the book in their classrooms because children simply cannot get past that incendiary word.

“My daughter,” he said, “went to a magnet school and one of her best friends was an African-American girl. She loathed the book, could barely read it.”

But while Gribben’s intentions are good, his fix is profoundly wrong. There are several reasons why.

In the first place, any work of art represents a series of conscious choices on the part of the artist — what color to paint, what note to play, what word to use — in that artist’s attempt to share what is in his or her soul. The audience is free to accept or reject those choices; it is emphatically NOT free to substitute its own.

In the second place, it is never a good idea to sugarcoat the past. The past is what it is, immutable and non-negotiable. Even a cursory glance at the historical record will show that Twain’s use of the reprehensible word was an accurate reflection of that era.

So it would be more useful to have any new edition offer students context and challenge them to ask hard questions: WHY did Twain choose that word? What kind of country must this have been that it was so ubiquitous?

How hardy is the weed of self-loathing that many black people rationalize and justify its use, even now?

I mean, has the black girl Gribben mentions never heard of Chris Rock or Snoop Dogg?

Finally, and in the third place, it is troubling to think the state of reading comprehension in this country has become this wretched, that we have tweeted, PlayStationed and Fox News’d so much of our intellectual capacity away that not only can our children not divine the nuances of a masterpiece, but that we will now protect them from having to even try.

Huck Finn is a funny, subversive story about a runaway white boy who comes to locate the humanity in a runaway black man and, in the process, vindicates his own. It has always, until now, been regarded as a timeless tale.

But that was before America became an intellectual backwater that would deem it necessary to censor its most celebrated author.

The one consolation is that somewhere, Mark Twain is laughing his head off.

LAWRENCE ALMANAC Through 7 p.m. Saturday.

Dole released, then returns to hospital TOPEKA — Former Kansas Sen. Bob Dole has returned to Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington.

Dole said in a statement released Saturday that he left the hospital Friday when “everything looked clear.” He says he decided to stop by the George Washington University Hospital after a recurrence of a fever. He then returned for further examination Friday evening to Walter Reed, where he remains.

Dole says overall he feels “good.” Dole initially was admitted to Walter Reed on Tuesday.

The 87-year-old Dole spent 10 months at Walter Reed last year after suffering pneumonia following knee surgery. He left the facility in mid-November.

Dole was elected to the U.S. House in 1960 and the Senate in 1968. He was the Republican nominee for president in 1996 but lost to Bill Clinton.

Non-con loss triggers sour memories

By Gary Bedore

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Clarity the best medicine News has come out of the Kansas University athletic department ticket scandal like a dripping faucet. You know it’s coming, but it still keeps you awake at night.

The latest drip — last week’s revelation that Kassie Liebsch and Rodney Jones will have change-of-plea hearings Thursday and Friday in Wichita — was a relatively quiet one drowned out by the euphoria surrounding the hiring of a new athletic director, the continued domination of the basketball team and an increasingly encouraging football recruiting outlook.

Yet, for such a quiet drip it certainly has been a difficult one to purge from the mind. Jones cutting a deal? Didn’t most sort of perceive him as a ring-leader?

If he wasn’t, then who was? Ben Kirtland, one of the five indicted, was Jones’ boss, so maybe it’s nothing more than him ratting out Kirtland.

Yet, given how much later Liebsch’s indictment came than the others, it would be a mistake to assume that the dealmaking of Jones and Liebsch necessarily is aimed toward the others already indicted. Could it be the investigation has expanded and uncovered information worthy of more indictments?

Impossible to say at this point because feds don’t have lips, which is another way of saying it’s impossible to rule out.

It’s no surprise that this is all taking so long because as anybody familiar with shady ticket dealings can attest, brokers working in the shadows cast by sleaze deal in cash, which is immune to deep-digging computer searches.

Don’t be surprised if at some point an accusation such as this surfaces: One of the indicted will say he or she visited a ticket broker with an empty duffel bag and left with as much as $17,000 in cash stuffed into it for delivery to a private residence.

But whose home? Intriguing questions such as that, and so many more, are the ones for which the feds have tried to nail down proof that will stand up in court.

KU Athletics, which has tried so hard in recent years to control its own message in an effort to shield the public from knowing anything other than what it wants known, loses control once the whole mess goes to trial for those who don’t cut deals. At that point, KU will be best served by not trying to minimize or spin in any way whatever horrific details might go public. Instead, transparency as to how things are run by the new people in place, such as ticket manager Doug Hopkins, is the most advisable medicine to bring about the restoration of trust.

Hopkins, whose appointment was announced Friday by the athletic department, comes to Kansas from the Chiefs after scandal-free decades in the ticket business. (By the way, would love to see the Chiefs score their first playoff victory since 1993 today, but absolutely hate that so many fans at KU games choose to embarrass themselves, their university and country by screaming “Chiefs,” instead of “brave,” for the final word of the national anthem).

No matter where the feds’ investigation and ensuing court case take the scandal, KU will recover. The Jayhawk fan base is a very forgiving one, especially when it can cheer for a team as exciting as the one that will try to remain undefeated today when it faces Michigan in Crisler Arena for a 3:30 p.m. tipoff.

gbedore@ljworld.com

A NN A R B O R , M I C H . — Kansas University’s No. 1-ranked basketball team took a perfect 14-0 record to Tennessee last Jan. 10 for the Jayhawks’ final game of the 2009-10 nonconference season.

The No. 16-rated Volunteers, using a lineup thinned by team suspensions, dismissals and injuries, shocked the Jayhawks, 76-68, sending shock waves through KU nation on the eve of Big 12 Conference play.

One year later ... the Jayhawks

take a No. 3 national ranking to unranked Michigan (11-4) of the Big Ten Conference. KU is once again 14-0 and 40 good minutes away from finishing the non-con schedule unbeaten.

Tipoff for today’s clash is 3:30 p.m., at 13,751-seat Crisler Arena, with a live telecast available on CBS (cable channels 5, 13, 205).

“Last year, the Tennessee game ... we were supposed to win. It was a sucker game so to speak, jammed in there right before conference play begins,” KU coach Bill Self recalled.

TEXAS TECH FORWARD TEENA WICKETT (4) GETS A HAND on Kansas guard Monica Engelman’s shot. The Jayhawks fell to the Red Raiders, 61-57, on Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse.

Kansas surrenders lead, falls to Red Raiders

By Ben Ward Journal-World Sports Writer

First, the Kansas University women’s basketball team’s doubledigit cushion had dwindled to only a few points. Then, the once comfortable lead was gone altogether.

And as the buzzer sounded on Saturday’s 61-57 loss to Texas Tech at Allen Fieldhouse, the Jayhawks could do little more than sulk off the court and wonder how it all slipped away.

“When they turned up the heat, we got soft,” coach Bonnie Henrickson said. “Your margin for error in this league is that small.”

There were some missed KU free throws (nine), and turnovers (14), but the game got away in the fourth quarter, when TTU got easy layups, while KU went the final 5:15 without scoring a point.

“It does happen fast,” said junior forward Aishah Sutherland, who led KU with 17 points. “It’s like a blink of an eye.”

The Jayhawks took a 34-25 lead to the locker room on the strength of a 17-2 run, but were it not for 13 offensive rebounds for the Red Raiders, who shot only 29 percent in the half, the lead could have been even greater.

That aside, KU surged out of the break and extended its lead to as many as 15 before TTU began to chip away.

Sophomore Carolyn Davis, who notched her third straight doubledouble with 11 points and 13 rebounds, rarely received any touches late inside as the Jayhawks settled for contested jumpers, while the Red Raiders continued to get close looks at the basket.

“We just laid back and thought

everything would come easy,” Sutherland said.

Kierra Mallard (15 points, 11 rebounds) and Teena Wickett (15 points) led the charge, and a layup with 19.7 seconds remaining put TTU on top for good.

One Big 12 loss isn’t enough to derail the Jayhawks’ plan of reaching the NCAA Tournament. But against TTU, a team whose conference record over the past three seasons is identical to KU’s, the Jayhawks clearly let one slip away.

“It’s going to hurt down the road,” Davis said. “We’re going to look back and be upset because we didn’t win this game. But I also think there’s a lot to learn from this.

I think that that’s where we have to grow as a team. And mature, and be able to put somebody away.” ● Box score on page 4B

KANSAS CITY, MO. — Todd Haley did a nose count to see how many Kansas City Chiefs own what he calls “priceless” playoff experience and was pleased to find that 21 do.

That also means 32 don’t.

Players who were key to Kansas City’s six-game improvement, such as Jamaal Charles and Tamba Hali, will be tasting playoff pressure for the first time when the Chiefs host the battlesavvy Baltimore Ravens in a noon kickoff on Arrowhead Stadium’s cold, hard turf.

If playoff experience proves decisive, the Ravens (12-4) should be on their way to their fourth playoff win in three seasons.

Cast as the CHIEFS VS. wild-card team RAVENS because they lost the When: Noon today tiebreaker to Where: Kansas Pittsburgh, the City, Mo. Ravens are 3-2 in road playoff Line: Ravens by 3 games since TV: CBS (cable January 2009. chs. 5, 13, 205) The last time the Chiefs (106) won a playoff game, Haley was giving golf lessons on Long Island, wondering if a career change would be a good idea. Now, 17 years later, the Chiefs are AFC West champs and in search of their first playoff win since an aging Joe Montana took them to the AFC title game in 1994.

“Talent is one thing,” said Baltimore linebacker Ray Lewis.

“Your first, second, third quarter, talent is doing great. But then that fourth quarter, experience and playoff knowledge on what you do in these tight situations and what you do against this or against that, that’s where it all clicks in at.”

The Chiefs are not entirely without playoff experience.

Right guard Ryan Lilja and linebacker Mike Vrabel can impart to youthful teammates lessons they learned in Super Bowl victories.

“It’s priceless what they can pass on,” Haley said. “We’ve got 21 guys that have some experience in the playoffs. Now, a lot of it is coming from a select few, but the good thing is those guys are all really strong leaders for us that aren’t afraid to let these guys know that everything is about one thing, and that’s trying to be at our best for (today).”

Another edge that Baltimore brings figures to be defense. Four Ravens were picked to the Pro Bowl — Lewis, linebacker Terrell Suggs, tackle Haloti Ngata and safety Ed Reed. Kansas City’s improved defense did not place anybody in the Pro Bowl.

The Ravens are particularly good at stopping what Kansas City does best. Their run defense ranked fifth in the league, allowing fewer than 94 yards per game.

The Tigers (14-2, 0-1) had won nine straight games overall and nine in a row against the Buffaloes, whose last victory over a top-10 team was a 93-80 upset of thirdranked Texas on Feb. 4, 2003.

The Buffs took control early behind Burks and a solid supporting cast. Cory Higgins scored 18, Levi Knutson added 13 and Austin Dufault had 12. Michael Dixon Jr.’s 17 points led the Tigers, who were outrebounded, 47-33.

No. 8 Connecticut 82, No. 12 Texas 81, OT AUSTIN, TEXAS — Kemba Walker, the nation’s leading scorer, made a 15-foot jumper with 5 seconds left in overtime to lift Connecticut over Texas.

The Longhorns quickly moved the ball to midcourt before calling timeout, but freshman Cory Joseph’s juggling three-pointer after the inbound pass fell well short.

Walker shot 8-for-27 and finished with 22 points against a tough defensive effort.

“Now,” owner Stephen Ross said, “I would go about it a different way.”

Michigan soph eager to break out

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

ANN ARBOR , M ICH . — “The Butterfly” hopes to spread his wings against Kansas University’s No. 3-ranked basketball team today.

“Aww, yeah, I heard about it,” Michigan sophomore point guard Darius Morris told annarbor.com, when asked about the nickname given to him by announcer Tim Doyle of the Big Ten Network.

“It’s fine with me. I’m just appreciative he knows my name and took the time to give me a nickname.”

The moniker has nothing to do with the 6-foot-4 Los Angeles native’s soft touch on floaters.

It’s in regard to Morris “coming out of a cocoon this season.”

Morris averages a teamleading 15.1 points a game off 50.9 percent shooting (12 of 36 threes for 33.3 percent) after averaging 4.4 ppg as a freshman. He has 109 assists (Big Ten-leading 7.3 per game) against 39 turnovers after

“We have to be ready for it,” Michigan coach John Beilein said of this current stretch.

BRIEFLY Veritas boys rally, win

KU swimming cruises

EUDORA — Thomas Bachert scored 13 points and Veritas Christian’s boys basketball team rallied against St. Mary’s for a 48-42 victory on Saturday at the Eudora Community Center.

“It was a struggle to score all night,” Veritas coach Gary Hammer said. “We had to grind it out. Nothing came easy.

Thankfully, we had our best quarter in the fourth quarter.”

The Eagles trailed by four points entering the final period, but outscored St. Mary’s, 19-9, in the fourth quarter.

Elijah Penny added 10 points for the Eagles, who improved to 8-2. Veritas will play host to Manhattan Chief on Friday.

NASHVILLE, TENN. — Senior Iuliia Kuzhil and freshman Alison Lusk won two events to lead Kansas University’s swimming a diving team to a 182-75 victory over Vanderbilt on Saturday at the Centennial Sportsplex. KU improved to 6-4 in dual competition this year.

Daniels update: DeAndre Daniels appears to be one step closer to becoming a Jayhawk.

Recruiting analyst Marc Maggard reported Saturday that Kentucky rescinded a scholarship offer to Daniels, a 6-8 senior forward from IMG Academies in Bradenton, Fla. That would leave KU and Texas as Daniels’ final two schools for Rivals.com’s No. 9-rated recruit in the Class of 2011.

road challenge today

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

KU senior guard Tyrel Reed said of a team that starts three freshmen, a sophomore and a junior. “They run that Princeton offense with back-cuts.

We’ve got to be locked in, tuned in on defense.”

“Michigan has a good team.

It’s going to be a challenge,” junior guard Tyshawn Taylor said. “I think it’s good for us going into conference. It will be our second true away game, so it’s going to be good to see where we’re at.”

Crisler Arena today figures to be more hostile than Cal’s Haas Pavilion, where the Jayhawks had about 4,000 fans in the stands for a 78-63 victory over the Golden Bears on Dec. 22.

“We’ll have a great crowd. It will be a great atmosphere,” Michigan coach John Beilein said. “We have to play very well and have Kansas have one of those bad nights.”

KU is the highest-ranked opponent to visit Ann Arbor since No. 1 Ohio State downed the Wolverines, 65-61, on March 3, 2007.

“We have a lot of pride in the Big Ten. We are representing the Big Ten,” Beilein said.

Sophomore point guard Morris, who is Michigan’s leading scorer at 15.1 points a game, scored nine points,

while junior guard Zack Novak (8.5 ppg, 6.9 rpg) added eight in Allen last season.

Marcus Morris led the Jayhawks with 23 points.

“The Morris twins both can shoot,” Beilein said. “Kansas is a very physical team. We’ll have to be able to handle their defensive pressure. They have 10, 11, 12 guys who could start for anybody else in the country. They have things rolling.”

Yet Michigan may be wellequipped to slow the Jayhawks’ attack.

“They play the 1-3-1 defense),” Self said. “They don’t play it a lot, but played it against us last year. We have to do a better job of attacking it.”

The Jayhawks went 33-3 a year ago, winning the Big 12 regular season and postseason tourney titles after dropping that final non-con contest at Tennessee.

“I don’t know if it’s motivation,” Self said. “I will tell our guys we have a chance to do something that last year’s team couldn’t do, that’s go undefeated non- conference.

We deserved to get beat (at Tennessee). It may have been a blessing in disguise. We went on to (win) 18 of our next 19 in conference play. It didn’t kill us. (But) I’d rather learn lessons through winning than not winning.”

Lions hoops upended FSHS, LHS bowling upstaged in opener

By Clark Goble

Journal-World Sports Writer

KANSAS CITY , M O. — When junior KJ Pritchard tried to articulate exactly how Lawrence High lost on Saturday and why the Lions are struggling, he kept coming back to the same conclusion.

The team needs to shoot the ball better, especially from three-point range.

The Lions hit just four of 21 three-point attempts on Saturday, falling, 67-48, at Rockhurst (Mo.) High.

Pritchard did concede that his team played harder than it did on Friday against Olathe North, after which coach Mike Lewis called his team’s effort “embarrassing for our program.”

The increased effort just wasn’t enough.

“I don’t know what it is,” Pritchard said. “We just have to make a shot.”

It’s a basic foundation of basketball — the team that shoots better usually wins.

The Hawklets (8-3) shot 56.1 percent and the Lions (2-5) shot 34 percent.

What’s frustrating for the Lions is that their offense is generating open, albeit contested, looks. The shots just aren’t falling.

Rockhurst went on a 15-2 run to take a cushy 32-18 lead.

“When they do go on those long runs, we can’t hang our heads,” Pritchard said. “We’ve

just got to keep ‘D’-ing up ...

And you know, make shots.”

For the weekend, the Lions hit just six of 41 three-pointers, good for 14.6 percent.

Lewis knows his offense starts from the perimeter, so a poor outside shooting performance kills his team’s ability to score.

That being said, Lewis likes his team’s potential.

Lewis isn’t afraid to mix up his lineup, either. Pritchard and juniors Anthony Buffalomeat and Logan Henrichs will be on the floor a lot, but outside of that, it’s essentially a trial-by-fire process.

“I’m not sure what this team might look like in a couple weeks,” Lewis said. ● Photo gallery on LJWorld.com

The crashing of pins and subsequent roaring of the crowd seemed to go on without end during the Free State Bowling Invitational on Saturday.

Royal Crest Lanes was jampacked with the bowling teams from Lawrence High and Free State, as well as teams from 10 other schools — and that’s not even counting the swarms of family, friends and spectators also in attendance.

The electric environment for the bowling season’s opening event carried different weight for the competitors.

“It’s really a confidence builder for the team because it’s our first home outing and it’s just so fun to have hundreds of people behind you,” FSHS senior Justin Walthall said. “It’s just really exciting.”

“It’s nerve-wracking to have that many people,” FSHS senior Alyson Butler said.

“But when you’re doing well it helps to have that much support.”

Walthall (665) and Butler (561) led the Firebird varsity bowlers in high series scoring, and sophomore Austin Bennett (615) and freshman Kier-

POINT LOOKOUT, MO. — Sharon Forte scored 24 points, Jamie Sun Eagle added 18 points and the Haskell Indian Nations University women’s basketball team defeated Central Baptist (Ark.) College, 7660, on Saturday at the KamJam Subway Classic.

Lois Stevens added nine points and 10 rebounds for the Fightin’ Indians, who improved to 5-7. Haskell will travel Friday to Omaha, Neb., to take on College of Saint Mary.

Don’t waste life pining for business partner Dear Annie: Five years ago, I became friends with “Jim.” As our friendship deepened, it turned into something more. I’ve never had a relationship with such mutual respect and understanding.

We even started a business together.

The problem is, Jim is married. From the beginning, he made no promises, and I had no expectations that he would change his life for me. I’ve dated a few other people during this time, which has made Jim extremely jealous. And, frankly, my love for Jim has made it impossible for me to fully open myself up to anyone else.

After all this time, I want to stop worrying about getting caught. I know I should walk away, but with our mutual business interests, that would be both difficult and suspicious. And even if we did try to end things, our constant contact would make it nearly impossible to keep our personal distance Jim’s youngest child graduates in June, and I suspect he may be more willing to get out of his marriage then.

Unfortunately, it’s not soon enough. Every day that goes by makes me more afraid of someone finding out, which would cause irreparable damage to multiple areas of my life and his.

There are ways to extricate yourself from a jointly owned business without raising suspicions if you do it for logical reasons, supported by sound legal advice. Find a way.

If Jim wants out of his marriage, that is up to him, but you should not be encouraging him or wasting your life waiting. We know it won’t be easy, but it sounds as if you’ve reached your limit. Good.

the more recent “Dark Knight” gothic sagas.

The crisp, economical pilot offers heaps of character explanation and background. A good cop, Vince Faraday (David Lyons), is forced to assume the identity of his son’s favorite comic character after he is set up and betrayed by the tycoon Peter Fleming (James Frain), the head of an evil privatized police force posing as the city’s savior. Vince/The Cape is aided by a mysterious blogger, Orwell (Summer Glau), who appears to know all of the city’s secrets.

Vince’s transformation from cop to caped crusader is aided by Max Malini (Keith David), the ringleader of a circus gang of bank robbers. Their carnival of crime offers a dollop of camp in “The Cape’s” bleak landscape. Max also teaches Vince a lifetime of tricks and illusions in the space of a single montage.

We know Vince is driven by his desire to reunite with his wife and son, but his longing for them provides “The Cape” with some of its few maudlin moments and inspires some of its sappier soundtrack selections. But on balance, “The Cape” is a winner. A strong supporting cast, good villains and dynamic comic book plotting make “The Cape” a welcome does of escapist fun. ● Matt LeBlanc returns as himself in “Episodes” (8:30 p.m., Showtime), a light, slightly small, slightly addictive and entirely effervescent comedy about two British TV producers (Stephen Mangan and Tamsin Greig) stranded in Hollywood while trying to adapt their hit British sitcom for an impossible producer who insists on replacing an esteemed London stage actor with “Joey” from “Friends.”

Befitting a comedy about a HollywoodLondon culture clash, “Episodes” is coproduced by Showtime and the BBC. ● Don’t be fooled by the promotion.

“Shameless” (9 p.m., Showtime) supposedly “stars” William H. Macy, but he shows up for about three or four minutes in the belabored pilot (an hour that felt like three) to introduce his kids and his character. After that, he’s either absent or passed out on the floor.

It’s sprawling and occasionally captivating but not believable for a second. Joan Cusack is wasted as a housewife character beyond parody. An ambitious misfire from producer John Wells that visits the upper realms of the lower depths with the kind of glib condescension that make a lot of people hate Hollywood. ● A very big hit in England, where it has been touted as the most watched costume TV drama since “Brideshead Revisited,” the “Masterpiece Classic” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings) “Downton Abbey” returns the franchise to “Upstairs, Downstairs” territory. Part 1 of 4.

NFL PLAYOFFS

Saints, Colts upset The Associated Press

Seahawks 41, Saints 36 S E A T T L E — Jokes, lightweights, laughingstocks.

Not these Seattle Seahawks. They just sent the defending Super Bowl champions packing.

Matt Hasselbeck threw four touchdown passes and Marshawn Lynch scored on an electrifying 67-yard run with 3:22 left and the Seahawks pulled one of the biggest upsets in playoff history.

The Seahawks (8-9) held a 34-20 early in the fourth quarter before Drew Brees looked ready to lead the Saints (11-6) on one of their patented comebacks. But Lynch broke about a half-dozen tackles for his TD. New Orleans 10 10 0 16 — 36 Seattle 7 17 10 7 — 41 First Quarter NO—FG Hartley 26, 11:43.

It is often said that history is written by the winners. After the turmoil between two opposing cultures, the victors often claim both the spoils of war and the ability to reframe their past brutalities in a more socially palatable manner.

The “Celebrate People’s History” project, an exhibit of politically motivated prints and posters, opening Saturday at The Percolator, aims to shed some light upon the lesser-known, forgotten or simply ignored struggles that have been brushed aside from mainstream consciousness. A book-release party for “Celebrate People’s History,” a

collection of the various artists’ posters showcased at the gallery, is scheduled to conclude the exhibit and will be Jan. 28.

The project’s organizer, Brooklyn artist Josh McPhee, says from the beginning he’s wanted to focus on subjects that were “undercelebrated” in a straightforward, eye-catching manner.

“Here’s an attractive image and some very simple information to put out into the world,” he says.

“We’re not telling you to buy anything, it’s more that this is our common shared history and we’re putting it back out into the public space.”

McPhee says what ties the whole project together

‘CELEBRATE PEOPLE’S HISTORY’ When: Opening 6 p.m.-9 p.m. Saturday; book-release party 5 p.m.-8 p.m. Jan. 28 Where: The Lawrence Percolator, in the alley at Ninth and New Hampshire streets More: See a photo gallery and more content Wednesday at Lawrence.com. is the multicultural theme and the access the medium of posters provides to the masses. The dozens of

artists whose work will be on display at the exhibit all worked within this framework.

“It’s history that’s being collectively written by anyone who wants to participate,” he says. “That’s not a clean, unblemished slate. It has its ups and downs and bumps. It’s something that needs to be alive. It’s not packed away into history books or bronzed on statues. It should be in your face and something we engage with.”

David Loewenstein, member of the Percolator’s board of directors and participating artist in the exhibit, agrees with McPhee that the use of Please see EXHIBIT, page 2C

What were you doing when you were scouted?

Hanging out at Louise’s Downtown.

How would you describe your style? I wear whatever my girlfriend tells me looks good.

What are your favorite fashion trends? Skinny ties and scarves for men and women that can wear Uggs.

What are your least favorite fashion trends? Sloppy people in public. You ought to put forth a little effort.

What would you like to see more of in Lawrence? More formal, dressy attire and collared shirts, and colors other than KU blue.

What would you like to see less of in Lawrence? Leggings and sweatpants.

the weeks I was absent from these pages, I joined what a friend gleefully calls the “Double Nickels Club.” It seems I am now the human chronological equivalent of a back roads speed limit and, as such, eligible for a host of so-called senior discounts.

I didn’t have a problem with turning 55. Not like the hairwhitening, full-out panic attack that accompanied the big 5-0.

Many of my friends are turning 60 and, as I learned in high school, there are advantages in hanging out with the bigger kids. Everyone’s old enough to buy cigarettes and liquor, of course, but when your party pals start talking Social Security benefits, it’s amazing how young you feel.

When I was 50, I poo-poo’ed the financial perks of maturity.

“I’d rather die than ask for the ‘senior discount,’” I proclaimed stubbornly. “I’m not even sure my mouth could form the words. ‘Seeeeennn...

Sennnioooooo...’ See? I can’t do it!”

It’s amazing what five years and a flaccid economy will do to your perspective.

Now, I say bring it! Lay that 10 percent discount on me, Arby’s, IHOP and Long John Silver’s! Go ahead and woo me, Jiffy Lube and AMC Theatres!

And, if I have to do my department store shopping on designated days to get that 15 percent markdown, I’ll be all too happy to comply.

I am so down with the discounts-for-50-somethings phi-

losophy, I think everyone should offer them. After all, roast beef sandwiches, pancakes and Lobster Bites are nice, but they’re not exactly helpful for people prone to high cholesterol and diabetes.

C’mon merchants! Give us price cuts on things we really need — like fish oil capsules, gym memberships and sunscreen. Take 15 percent off colon cleanses, dental implants and Lipitor. Make Botox BOGO! C’mon middle-agers, stand up and be heard! In every spa, yoga and Pilates studio, demand Senior Day discounts.

Boycott your neighborhood coffee shop until they priceslash your lattes! Stage sit-ins on downtown sidewalks, crying, “Hell no, we won’t go!” until the city waives your parking meter fines!

It’s a movement waiting to happen, I tell you.

I was at liquor store, shopping for booze for our annual New Year’s Eve dinner party.

“Now, here’s where a senior discount would come in handy,” I murmured to myself, while wondering how bad bottom-shelf scotch could possibly taste. “I’d trade my 10 percent at Chili’s, Wendy’s AND Motel 6 for a discount on Dewar’s.”

A nice, unsuspecting collegeaged man rang up my purchases at the counter.

“And with your 10 percent discount, that will be $78.64,” he said with a smile.

“My 10 percent what?” I snapped, incredulous.

“Discount, ma’am. Ten percent.”

“I heard you, wise guy!” I shouted. “Did you hear me ask for a discount? How dare you just ASSUME I’m a senior! You didn’t even card me! What is it, my hair? These spots on my neck!? For the record, they’re only freckles. And, OK, maybe a random skin tag. I have no idea where that came from.

posters is an efficient way to engage people, using public space as a place for knowledge and education instead of simply advertising. He says it’s important for everybody to consider the environment they live in and its past.

“So often we overlook these events at the time they happen,” Loewenstein says.

“It’s now more important than ever — not for academics, not for fancy artists, but for regular folks — to think about what their government is doing, what the social policy is about, and how it relates to their lives individually. I think these prints, if you spend some time with them, will really spark some interest in that kind of thinking.”

Loewenstein says he is excited about the upcoming exhibit and has several plans for the event. Besides the exhibit itself, there will be a collection of older posters from the 1970s on display and a community wall, a kind of microcosm of the larger “Celebrate People’s History” project.

“There’ll be a wall in the gallery where people can write, or draw, or post similar kinds of stories — things that have been overlooked, or people we need to reconsider and figure out their importance. We’ll have a wall where people who visit can post those things. It’s sort of the starting point for producing some form of compilation of “Celebrate Kansas People’s History.”

Another main draw to the exhibit will be at the book release party, where the

ARTS NOTES Theater announces auditions for ‘Opus’ Theatre Lawrence will hold auditions Monday and Tuesday for “Opus,” a drama by Michael Hollinger. Talent and temperament collide in this behind-thescenes look at a world-class string quartet. The famous ensemble threatens to unravel as the rehearsal room becomes a pressure-cooker when passions rise, personalities clash and the players are forced to confront the nature of their life's work.

“Opus” was recipient of the Barrymore Award for Outstanding New Play and a Steinberg New Play Citation from the American Theatre Critics Association.

Roles are available for one woman (plays age 20-30), and four men (play 30-50). Those auditioning do not need to be able to play an instrument.

Auditions will be at 7 p.m. both days at the theater, 1501 N.H. Performances are planned Feb. 24-27 and March 3-6.

KU student finalist for YouTube orchestra Doug Perry, a graduate student pursuing his Master in Music degree, was recently chosen as a finalist in the 2011 YouTube Symphony Orchestra.

This is the second year for this online competition, a joint venture between YouTube and Michael Tilson Thomas, the music director for the San Francisco Symphony and the New World Symphony.

This international competition allows musicians from all over the world upload videos of selected excerpts to compete to perform with the YouTube Orchestra. Last year the winners played a new work

by Tan Dun in Carnegie Hall.

This year the winners will perform a new work by Mason Bates, composer-in-residence for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, in the Sidney Opera House, under the baton of Michael Thomas himself.

Perry submitted his audition in the rhythmic improvisation category and was chosen as one of 17 finalists out of hundreds of submissions. The final round is based on public vote, and voting continues until Jan. 17.

Fountain City Brass Band releases new CD The Fountain City Brass Band recently released a new CD titled “Celebrations” on the World of Brass label.

KU’s own Scott Watson, professor of tuba/euphonium, is Principal BBb Tuba, Michael Davidson, assistant professor of trombone at KU, is solo trombone, and doctoral student Charles Page is on Eb tuba. The CD is available on the World of Brass website.

This release follows another 2010 CD by the FCBB titled “Over the Rainbow.” Upcoming concert information is available at www.fcbb.net/Home.html.

St. Olaf Choir to perform in Topeka Tickets are going fast for the world-famous St. Olaf Choir’s only stop in this area this year.

The St. Olaf College Choir, under the direction of Anton Armstrong, will perform as a part of Grace Cathedral’s GREAT SPACES Music & Arts Series at 7 p.m. Jan. 31. The Cathedral is located at 701 SW Eighth Ave. in downtown Topeka.

All tickets are $10 for this special event and can be purchased at the Cathedral office or online at www.stolaftickets.com.

The St. Olaf Choir will also be joined by organist John Ferguson. The ensemble will stop in Topeka as a part of its annual national tour that will feature 18 concerts in 10 states and 17 cities. During this winter tour the St. Olaf Choir will travel across the United States’ midsection, including performances at Omaha’s Holland Performing Arts Center and Dallas’ Meyerson Symphony Center, and concerts in Denver, Des Moines, Lincoln, Neb., Oklahoma City, Austin, Texas, and Little Rock, Ark.

Filmmaker will screen ‘The Inappros’ Marc Havener, award-winning filmmaker of “And What Remains,” will air “The Inappros” at 8 p.m. Friday at Pachamama’s Alton Ballroom, 800 N.H. Doors open at 7.

Lawrence production company Resonate Pictures struck a chord in the world of HR and corporate training with their multiple-award-winning hit comedy series seen around the world and featured in a Fast Company magazine column.

The all-star cast of Kansas City players also features an appearance by Lawrence’s Keith Loneker (“Out of Sight,” “Leatherheads”) who shows up for a job interview in episode four.

Chip and Dan Heath, authors of the New York Times bestsellers "Made To Stick" and "Switch," summed it up best when they wrote: "Note: When your company's employees are madly searching for your compliance videos, you've done something right.... The episodes deal with touchy areas such as bosses hitting on subordinates [and] managers trying to pass along inappropriate expenses to the client.

In other words, comedy gold."

The free event will include a question-and-answer session with the filmmakers.

See more about Havener’s work at www.resonatepictures.com.

Spencer Museum of Art’s curator of prints and drawings, Stephen Goddard will speak about the historical context of political prints and about McPhee in particular.

“I really admire what (McPhee’s) done in terms of organizing a printmaking cooperative and the way he’s used his Web presence and ability to spread the word electronically,” Goddard says. “I think he’s really done a fabulous service and speaks very eloquently about his sense of mission. I think he’s a great champion for print art.”

Goddard says he believes this kind of exhibit is meaningful for people from all walks of life and political leanings.

“It’s important for this kind of exhibition to be seen anywhere. We’re lucky Lawrence has a long history with people involved in radical arts and the whole range of political beliefs. I think it’s important to keep this alive.”

The guy just stood there, mouth gaping. He knew I was just getting started.

“You’ve got some kind of nerve, blithely handing out discounts to anyone not wearing flip-flops and a tramp stamp! How old are you? 22?

I’m young enough to be your mother, which, technically, could put me in my 40s.”

“Don’t interrupt your elders,” I continued ranting.

“Not that I’m that eld. I mean old. Fifty-five is young! Heck, Burger King doesn’t give discounts until you’re 60. And Amtrak? They make you wait till you’re 62. By Amtrak standards, I’m a freakin’ pup!”

The poor boy mustered a smile and said, “It’s Monday, ma’am. Everyone gets 10 percent off spirits on Mondays.”

I gulped and glanced apologetically at the five stunned people lined up behind me.

“Oh,” I mumbled. “Good

idea. I didn’t …. uh. OK, then.

Happy new year…”

I shuffled out of the store, heavy with shame and the realization that being a senior doesn’t always equal being mature.

On the way home, I picked up some Lobster Bites and paid full price.

Oh, I still want my senior discount, but I want it on my terms, when I’m good and ready.

AMERICAN BURLESQUE SENSATION GYPSY ROSE LEE, pictured at her typewriter in 1956, is the subject of Karen Abbott’s biography “American Rose: A Nation Laid Bare: The Life and Times of Gypsy Rose Lee.” brothers, who played a crucial role in Lee’s stardom, built their burlesque empire.

Most of those doozies somehow involve the world’s most monstrous stage mother: Rose Thompson Hovick, of whom Morton Minsky declared, her “river did not run to the sea.” As children, Lee and her younger sister, actress June Havoc, were known, respectively, as Rose Louise and Baby June (later, Dainty June) on the vaudeville circuit; Mother acknowledged only Baby’s talent. Rose, Abbott writes, “raised her daughters as if they were two grizzled generals preparing for war — with men, with her, with each other.”

The Rose depicted here makes the leather-lunged tyrant embodied on stage and screen by Ethel Merman, Rosalind Russell and Patti LuPone look like Carol Brady. After June suffers a nervous breakdown at age 12 from nonstop work, Rose insists she get right back onstage. Mother was, literally, a murderer (killing once,

and most likely twice, but never convicted of a crime) and a master manipulator (she played sick mind games not just with her daughters but with numerous women whom Abbott refers to as Rose’s “lesbian harem”).

But Rose is also, as Abbott details in a series of fascinating, sometimes queasymaking episodes, the love of thrice-married Gypsy Rose Lee’s life: “Theirs is a primal connection that Gypsy is incapable of severing, parallel to love and just as deep but rotten at its root.” Mama realizes her supposedly talentless firstborn is her meal ticket after Lee starts making a name for herself on the burlesque circuit in the early ’30s.

Rose would anonymously send Gypsy flowers with cards addressed to “My Queen” and “Stageland’s Loveliest,” always signing them from “a secret admirer.” Mama’s constant presence was referenced in Gypsy’s famous quip, after her arrest for an “indecent performance”: “I wasn’t naked. I was completely cov-

Baret took extreme measures to be a part of that world.

Raised in poverty in rural France in the mid-18th century, she was trained by “herb

women,” country folk with knowledge of medicinal plants.

That led to a chance meeting with botanist Philibert Commerson.

Hired to keep house, she became his scientific collaborator and his mistress.

The depth of their professional relationship was as secret as their love affair. When naval commander Louis-Antoine de Bougainville set out in 1766 to circumnavigate the globe, Commerson was the lead naturalist. To accompany him in spite of a royal edict forbidding women aboard the

king’s ships, Baret disguised herself as a young man and signed on as Commerson’s valet and assistant.

Their voyage was hardly the stuff of romantic comedy. Her pretense came with constant physical pain.

She suffered eczema under the tight linen bindings that held down her breasts, and her constricted lungs strained as she climbed hills bearing the botanist’s gear. The fear of being found out, and possibly raped, was constant.

She quieted rumors of gender-bending by claiming to

By Douglass K. Daniel

‘Tripod and the Doctor’ In the mornings we see the doctor pass by with his dog, slow walking, care stepping, bent, as we all are bent, old, as we all are old.

Biography unwraps myth of burlesque star behind ‘Gypsy’ Though it calls itself “Burlesque,” the onstage antics in the squeaky-clean CherChristina Aguilera diva smackdown would hardly be recognizable to Gypsy Rose Lee, the burlesque queen and striptease artist who had to do some unspeakable things in her climb to the top.

But, as Karen Abbott shows in her enthralling biography (“American Rose: A Nation Laid Bare: The Life and Times of Gypsy Rose Lee”), even “Gypsy” — the smash 1959 Broadway musical based on Lee’s 1957 memoirs — presents a fastidiously edited version of the performer’s life, leaving out sordid, seedy details.

The show “is not only (Lee’s) monument but her surest chance for monumental revisionism,” she writes.

Abbott, the author of “Sin in the Second City,” about a famed whorehouse in early 20th century Chicago, sets out to fill in the blanks and debunk the self-created myths about the “most private public figure of her time,” though she admits that “trying to discover Gypsy the person, as opposed to Gypsy the persona, became the sort of detective story herself could have written.” (In addition to the novels “The G-String Murders” and “Mother Finds a Body” and her memoir, Lee, who had no formal education, wrote several New Yorker articles and a play, “The Naked Genius.”)

To illuminate not just Lee but the history of vaudeville, burlesque and New York City in the 1920s and ’30s, Abbott has chosen an unconventional structure, hopscotching nonchronologically between 1911 and 1970, the years of Lee’s birth and death. Beginning and ending “American Rose” with Lee’s performance at the 1940 World’s Fair, Abbott creates a brainy striptease similar to the one her subject may have performed: uncovering doozies in one chapter about Lee’s outrageous life, followed in the next by the less salacious (but always captivating) details about how New York City’s Minsky

be a eunuch, thus putting off those sailors who feared such a fate or pitied such a creature. Exactly when and how her secret became widely known is a subject of debate and conjecture.

The book’s title alludes to what Baret herself helped to discover, among other things the vine that bears Bougainville’s name. She received no credit for her efforts, of course, and journals from the expedition dismissed her as little more than an impressive “beast of burden,” though she was so much more.

Ridley, an English professor at the University of Louisville, ably weaves facts with inferences in revealing this unsung figure. In her hands, discovering Jeanne Baret becomes a splendid example of how to explore the past and bring it to life.

BEHIND THE LENS

Improvisation can improve event coverage

By Mike Yoder myoder@ljworld.com

On Dec. 4, I photographed the Lawrence Old-Fashioned Christmas Parade. I had decided to produce a photo book on the parade using an online, print-on-demand company that requires no money upfront. The person purchasing the book spends the money. This would enable me to create a unique document of the event with an investment of only my time and skills as a photographer.

My first priority was to photograph every carriage, buggy and wagon during the parade. There were over 100 entries, but I figured this shouldn’t be too difficult. It’s not like they would be gal-

loping through downtown.

But I also realized I needed a sprinkling of crowd shots to give the event some additional atmosphere. I decided to use two camera bodies, one with a wide-angle zoom and one with a telephoto zoom, to give me the widest range of coverage. I used autofocus and aperture priority for my exposure setting.

Photographing in this way is similar to being an official graduation photographer. Your responsibility is to get a photo of every student being handed their diploma — in focus and exposed right. Aesthetics are not a priority.

My plan was fairly simple.

When I spotted a carriage I would photograph them from a distance with the

telephoto lens. As they passed by me I would grab a shot with my wide-angle lens. But I soon realized that my stationary position meant all of my backgrounds looked alike. This would create a really boring book. By changing my position I could get different scenes but this increased the possibility of missing a carriage. So throwing all my intended plans away I started walking and running forward and back alongside the parade, alternating between the wide-angle and telephoto lens. At times it did feel like the horses were galloping passed me. But by reacting quick and moving with the parade I managed to accomplish my goal.

While I couldn’t always

make the best shot of every horse-drawn vehicle, I was able to find moments within the chaos when a rider’s smile or wave to the crowd would capture something more than a simple document Planning out photo shoots is wise, but good photography is often like good jazz — improvisation is always a part of the mix. Or, don’t photograph the cart before the horse.

To view the whole book go to www.blurb.com/ books/1842493 or you can watch a slide show of all 100 plus entries and other photos from the shoot at this column site at LJWorld.com.

I DECIDED to do a photo book on the 2010 Lawrence OldFashioned Christmas Parade. The pace of the parade and the number of entrants kept me on my toes because I wanted to document every horse-drawn vehicle. Had I not been concerned about photographing everyone, I would have certainly focused more time and photographs on this unique scene, of a young girl riding on one of a team of horses.

Resolutions wearing thin? Here are some new strategies

By Sarah Henning sarah@lawrence.com

It’s just more than a week into 2011, and if your New Year’s resolution is already on shaky ground, you’re not alone.

According to findings published in a 2002 volume of the Journal of Clinical Psychology, making resolutions are useful, but maybe only to less than a quarter of us. Of the 40 to 45 percent of American adults who make resolutions, less than half continue to maintain them after six months.

To help you be one of the successful few, we talked with local experts about the resolutions that seem to come up the most.

Not surprisingly, many of them suggested similar ways of making your resolution happen: Figure out where you stand, create a specific goal and then get there using short- and medium-term goals as stepping stones.

Get fit/lose weight One of the top resolutions, and hardest to keep, is the resolution to get fit and lose weight. Zach Schneider, a certified ACE personal trainer with Fitness Together, 1540 Wakarusa Drive, says the best way to beat the battle of the bulge is with a plan.

His five-point attack for bettering your body in 2011: ● Create a food and activity journal. Schneider’s No. 1 tip. He says you don’t need to write down calorie counts, you just need to get a good handle on what’s going into you body and when as well as what you’re doing each day to burn it off. He says doing this will immediately make you more aware of yourself and your efforts. ● Have clearly defined goals. Don’t just say, “I want to lose weight” — put a number on it. Don’t just say you want to “get fit” — turn your goals into specifics, rather than just nebulous ideas. ● Set short-term and longterm goals. Schneider says that often the worst opponent in the weight-loss game is the sheer magnitude of what lies in front of you. He says if you have 100 pounds to lose, don’t focus on the big number, focus on the first 10 pounds. Precise, small goals make bigger goals attainable. ● Be realistic with those goals. There’s no use in setting yourself up for failure.

You may want to lose 30 pounds in a month like the contestants on “The Biggest Loser,” but that’s probably not going to happen on your own. Give yourself the time to make it to your goal safely, rather than rush it and end up injured or frustrated when results don’t happen over night. ● Find someone to support you. This person could be a trainer or a nutritionist, but if that’s out of the question for you, at least try to get a regular workout partner or someone with whom you can discuss your diet.

Quit smoking/ drinking/caffeine Other than losing weight, one of the most popular things to lose is the grip of an undesirable habit, be it smok-

TAP INTO NEW networking strategies to find a job or improve your current situation. ing, drinking or caffeine.

Cheryl Miller, a Lawrence wellness strategist, life coach and self-proclaimed mayor of cherylmillerville.com, says it’s best to shore up your attack on your bad habit by outlining exactly why it’s bad and then working from there.

She recommends taking a sheet of paper and marking one side with an X and the other with a smiley face. The X is where you are now and the smiley face is where you want to be. Write all the reasons you want to leave the X and all the benefits of the smiley face. Then, in between the two, write your steps to get there.

More tips: ● Write down the downsides. Just like in weight loss, it helps to be specific. You can’t just tell yourself “Smoking is bad.” “Drinking is bad.”

“Caffeine is bad.” Instead, write down exactly what’s bad about the substance you’re trying to curb. Or what specific benefits might come with quitting. ● Make the obstacles weaker. Now that you have the reasons to do it, you need what Miller calls an “action plan” of steps to take to get over the obstacles in your way. Look at every aspect, of your relationship with the substance and figure out a way to defeat it. ● Know it might not take.

Quitting is something that might not be successful the first time. Miller says the sooner you accept the fact that it might take a couple of hard tries, the better. Don’t consider yourself a failure if it doesn’t work the first time.

Remember, it’s a lifestyle change.

Manage debt/improved financial situation Debt or a poor financial situation can be a major source of stress, frustration and angst, especially in the current economic climate. We talked with Robert Baker, director of education at the

“

Volunteers are needed to do everything. There is literally something for everyone who has a desire to help.”

— Lori Johns, director of the Roger Hill Volunteer Center Lawrence office of Housing and Credit Counseling Inc., and Brent Fry, vice president of Kohart Accounting P.A., about ways to improve your finances and debt in 2011. ● Put it all out on the table.

Baker’s first suggestion is to look at your finances as a whole — debts, bills, retirement funds, savings. Figure out everything you spend, everything you owe and learn those numbers. ● Budget. If you don’t have a budget already, now’s the time to do one, says Fry. Take all those records you compiled and figure out where your money is going each month. Budget the essentials — mortgage/rent, utilities, food — first, and then figure out what you can really afford in the way of everything else. ● Clean up your credit. If your top financial goal is to erase credit card debt, create a month-by-month plan of how you can pay off what you owe. Baker says that depending on your personality, you may choose to pay off the card with the least amount of debt first and then push yourself to pay off the more daunting cards using the success you felt in achieving that first $0 balance. But, if you can be disciplined, it might be best for you to tackle the biggest debt first, because erasing that debt should make things easier on both your credit score and your remaining balances. ● Use Web tools. Both Baker and Fry recommend finding debt or budgeting calculators or simulators online to help guide you during this process. You can find

tools at Bankrate.com, Mint.com and the Housing and Credit Counseling Inc.’s website, HCCI-KS.org. Fry also recommends taking a look at QuickBooks or even just setting up a simple spreadsheet on your computer so you can easily track your money and/or your budget. ● Don’t forget your emergency fund. Baker says it’s imperative for anyone that has money coming in to set something aside in an emergency fund, even if it’s just $5 to $10 a week. Baker says that by cutting out nonessentials like expensive coffee drinks or downgrading your mobile plan, you can beef up your savings without a major lifestyle change.

Get a better job/a job It’s been a tough few months for those in the work world. Those without jobs are looking for them, and those with jobs might be looking for something more secure, or even a whole career change. Jennifer Jordan, director of the Business Career Service Center at Kansas University, weighs in on how to get what you want in the work world this year. ● Buff up that résumé. Get it polished, up-to-date and ready to send out when the right chance presents itself. ● Get connected. Joining a networking site like LinkedIn can help you reach out to others in your field or desired field. Another way to connect? Find a job-based club in town and meet others who do what you do or what you want to do. ● Find a mentor. Pick someone you admire and learn from them. This is especially important if you plan to switch careers. ● Become more wellrounded. Volunteering and extracurricular activities aren’t just for those still in school and hoping the experience makes them seem more well-rounded. Jordan says this can be an important component for someone who has been in the working world for years, too. ● Talk about your job. Jordan suggests specifically engaging in career-related discussions. Tell people exactly what your plans and goals are. And if you can’t bring yourself to talk about what you do? That might be a sign you’re in a career rut.

Volunteer more In a way, resolving to volunteer more is a much more personal act than losing weight, quitting an addiction or getting your financial or work life in order. That’s because it means you’ve decided to spend time working for others rather than on yourself directly. Still, it’s hard for even the most motivated volunteers to find a place in their schedule to volunteer. Lori Johns, director of the Roger Hill Volunteer Center at the United Way of Douglas County, 2518 Ridge Court, has created her top five list of obstacles to volunteering, and how you can get over the hurdle that bars you from doing it more often, if at all. ● Scenario 1: I have no time. How do I fit it in around a job and/or family responsibilities?

Johns suggests trying to volunteer in places your family is already involved, like with sports teams, scouts or at the kids’ schools. It’ll provide enrichment for the kids, too. If you don’t have kids, and it’s just your job in your way, try volunteering on a lunch break. ● Scenario 2: I don’t know where to start.

Take small steps — volunteering doesn’t have to be a iron-clad commitment. Johns suggests just showing up for a single volunteer event and not pressuring yourself into more than that. Recommendations of places to contact for one-off volunteering stints include helping out at Hidden Valley Camp, the Clinton Lake trails, soup kitchens or Lawrence Parks and Recreation. ● Scenario 3: I don’t have anything to offer.

Yes, you do. “Volunteers are needed to do everything,” Johns says. “There is literally something for everyone who has a desire to help.” ● Scenario 4: I’m unsure about getting involved — what will it do for me?

Johns says volunteering really will do as much for you as you can for other people.

She says studies suggest that by giving, we improve our quality of life, happiness quotient, wellness and lifespan. ● Scenario 5: I tried it once or twice, but I didn’t have a good experience, or no one called me back.

Here’s the dilemma: Because of lack of volunteers or budget cuts, nonprofits might not have a designated point person to handle new volunteers. Johns recommends you keep trying. They need you, and you might need them.

JUST LET IT SLIDE Kitchen designers promoting “onemotion accessibility” argue that cabinets outfitted with drawers provide much more functionality than shelving behind doors. With this in mind, homeowners may want to consider designing their new and renovated kitchens with base cabinets outfitted exclusively with drawers. This design strategy is made feasible by improved hardware, especially heavy duty, full extension slides that make it possible to fill drawers with heavy items and access them from the top with the drawer pulled all the way out. Drawers are even more appealing with a seemingly endless supply of inserts that create a multiplicity of storage options.

With storage, its not so much how many cabinets or drawers there are; its mostly a matter of how much they hold.

The decision between shelves and drawers is a little more complicated than it first appears. In fact, many decisions having to do with kitchen design can be fraught with issues you never considered. That’s why you should call us today. Our professional kitchen designers can guide you through the complex process of creating the perfect kitchen for you! Visit our showroom.

KOVEL’S ANTIQUES

Collectors prefer cat figurines to dogs

By Terry Kovel

Mike Yoder/Journal-World Photo

BRANCHES lose their leaves as temperatures cool. If winter captivity has you itching to get back in the garden, good news: Your trees and shrubs need you.

Winter garden chores ————

Even with cold temps, your yard needs attention

If

last week’s sunshine and above-freezing temperatures have you itching to be in the garden, I have good news. Your trees and shrubs need you.

Yes, it is time to drag out the gardening hose and the pruners. A scoop shovel or mulch fork will be handy, too, if your garden needs mulch.

Most important right now is the garden hose, though. According to the United States Drought Monitor, about half of Douglas County is suffering from moderate drought. The remaining portion is considered abnormally dry. Classifications for the drought monitor are based on a combination of weather data and field reports.

Evergreen trees and shrubs are most in need of water. Soak the soil around young or newly transplanted trees as a second priority.

Third but still important are older trees and deciduous shrubs.

Apply water slowly over a long period of time to allow the moisture to soak into the soil. Push a long screwdriver or wooden rod down into the soil to check the moisture depth. The rod will push easily through moist soil. Preferably, moisten soil to a depth of at least 12 inches.

Researchers at Kansas State University recommend watering once or twice a month during dry winters. Colorado State University also recommends only watering when temperatures are above 40 degrees and applying about 10 gallons of water for each inch of the tree’s diameter. (A 6-inch diameter tree needs about 60 gallons. Because soil types vary,

Garden Calendar

checking soil moisture depth is a better method, but this is a good place to start.)

Remember to apply water to the entire root zone instead of just the area near the trunk when watering trees. Have you heard me mention the wine glass on the turkey platter? The wine glass represents the tree and the turkey platter it sits on is representative of the tree’s root system.

While the water is running, spread mulch 1 to 2 inches thick over trees’ roots and throughout landscape beds. Around young trees, keep the mulch pulled back from the tree’s trunk and make a circle at least 4 feet in diameter around the base of the tree. Mulch will reduce temperature and moisture fluctuations in the soil.

This is also a great time to prune those big, gnarly overgrown shrubs you spent last summer ignoring. If they are spring bloomers, such as lilacs, you will lose blooms by pruning this time of year, but it is the only season when you can prune so drastically.

For overgrown shrubs, take out

the largest stems first. Look for branches that cross the center, rub against other branches, or have insect or disease injury and remove those as well. Make heading cuts at an angle near a bud to reduce overall height if you wish.

Trees can also be pruned.

Branch structure is easy to see this time of year. Again, look for branches that cross the center of the tree, that rub on other branches, or that have insect or disease injury and remove those first.

When pruning a tree, make cuts just outside the branch collar. The branch collar is located at the point where a branch attaches to another or to the trunk. Cuts that are flush with the trunk or another branch take longer to heal than branch collar cuts. Also, long stubs left beyond a branch collar take longer to heal and may produce weak sprouts.

Pruning paint, although once thought to be beneficial, sometimes actually inhibits healing.

Leaving pruning wounds alone to heal is the best method.

Some shrubs, sometimes referred to as sub-shrubs, should not be pruned until freezing temperatures have passed. Common sub-shrubs in this area are butterfly bush (Buddleia), blue-mist spirea (Caryopteris), Russian sage (Perovskia) and Lavender (Lavendula).

Prune roses after new growth begins to emerge later this spring.

Cats are favored over dogs when it comes to collecting.

Those who devote sales to paintings, figurines and other depictions of animals find that sales are better for cats, then dogs, then horses, then chickens and roosters, followed by pigs and maybe frogs. But birds are probably the most popular of all.

Emile Galle (1846-1904) is best known as a maker of cameo glass. He opened his own factory in Nancy, France, in 1873 and made cameo glass, enamel-decorated glass and art glass in the art nouveau style. But he also made unusual pottery from about 1874 to 1904.

Galle pottery is not as wellknown as Galle glass, and it is rare. Collectors today like all Galle pottery, but most intriguing are his many figures of cats, each about 10 inches long. The cats have human expressions and are decorated with flowers and other designs. The cats sell today for more than $500 if in perfect condition.

Q:

I have a J.K. Rishel Furniture Co. desk that must be more than 50 years old. Please give me some information about the company.

A:

The J.K. Rishel Furniture Co. was founded in Hughesville, Pa., in the late 1800s. By the early 1900s, the company was headquartered in Williamsport, Pa. Rishel continued making furniture until at least the mid-20th century.

Some Rishel pieces, particularly those 100 years old or more, sell for thousands of dollars. Pieces from the mid1900s attract less interest and much lower prices.

Q: I have a strange metal “picture” made with bullet holes. I have heard that this type of bullet picture might be valuable. Can you tell me something about it?

A: Bullet drawings are made by shooting bullet holes into a target. The technique was made popular by Texan Adolph Toepperwein (1869-1962) in the early to mid 1900s. After a brief stint as a newspaper cartoonist, he performed as a marksman on the vaudeville circuit and later in a traveling circus. In 1901 he became an exhibition shooter for the Winchester Repeating Arms Co. He and his wife, Plinky, toured the country giving shooting exhibitions for more than 40 years. He ended each show by “drawing” an indian’s head with bullet holes shot into a board. Silhouettes of

ANY GALLE POTTERY CAT is amusing and unusual. This yellow cat has large round glass eyes and small transfer decorations on its body. Even with a hairline crack, the 5-1/2-by-10-inch figure sold for $800 at a November Rago auction in Lambertville, N.J. indians, cowboys, cartoon characters and Uncle Sam were made by several hundred bullet holes spaced a half-inch apart on a sheet of tin. Other shooters also made bullet drawings, but those made on tin by Toepperwein bring the highest prices. His pictures sell for several hundred to a few thousand dollars.

Q: My clock was made by the Prentiss Clock Improvement Co. of New York. It was hung in the Phillipsburg, N.J., railroad station in 1929. It has square openings at the bottom that were supposed to display the month and date, but the printed pieces are missing. I would appreciate any information about this clock. Where can I find the calendar parts?

A: Calendar clocks have dials or hands that indicate the month, date and day of the week, and sometimes the phase of the moon. They were invented in Europe in the 1600s. John Hawes of Ithaca, N.Y., was granted the first patent for a calendar clock in 1853. Calendar clocks were popular in the United States from the 1860s until the early 1900s. Prentiss Clock Co. was founded in New York in about 1870. It became Prentiss Calendar & Time Co. in about 1880 and Prentiss Clock Improvement Co. in 1897. Prentiss Improvement Clock Co. was known for its calendar clocks and long-running clocks. Some could run for 60 days before being rewound. Most small clock companies like Prentiss bought clock movements from Seth Thomas and other well-known clock companies. Companies that supply parts for clocks are listed in the directory on our website, Kovels.com. You also can try searching the Internet for companies that provide replica parts for old clocks.

Photographic art takes center stage in decorative trends

By Kim Cook The Associated Press

One of the hottest trends in home decor is hanging photographic art, which can make a big impact without costing a lot.

Flip through the pages of any shelter magazine to see examples of arresting imagery, in color and black and white, of streetscapes, landscapes, portraits and still lifes.

“Photo art brings in elements of energy, atmosphere and emotion,” says designer Thom Felicia, one of many

designers and retailers who are championing the form.

One place to check out new directions in photo art is artspan.com, a website featuring contemporary artists.

Photographer Irene Andreadis of Huntington, N.Y., did a striking series of shots, featured on the site, of an old train car abandoned in the woods. Her lush, colorsaturated shots of flowers also caught the eye of Tiffany’s store decorators, who bought several orchid photos.

Kim Curinga, a photographer based in Eight Four, Pa.,

shot a series of feline portraits, manipulated in Photoshop to look like pop art. The images, also on artspan.com, have a fun modern art vibe.

She’s also captured a beautiful group of Yosemite images, evocative of Ansel Adams’ work.

“Three of these, 5-feet-tall and framed, hang in my home. I print things large — they’re more dramatic,” she says.

New Yorker Jen Bekman started 20x200.com in 2007.

As she sees it, “there are a lot of people out there who want to sell their art and a lot of

people who’d like to buy it.

They just have a hard time f inding each other.” The name came from the initial concept, which was to offer limited editions of 200 of each art piece, priced at $20. The site now offers a broader range of sizes and prices.

If you’re new to photo art, how should you decide what to buy?

“Start with prints and art books,” Bekman says. “It’s a great way to figure out what you like. Don’t be shy about orienting yourself through something that already inter-
