Exec pay varies widely at nonprofits

By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

From housing the homeless to raising money for Kansas University to providing health care for the uninsured, dozens of Lawrence nonprofit agencies work daily performing what the Internal Revenue Service considers charitable, taxexempt work.

While such organizations fit into a similar tax classification, a Jour-

ANALYSIS nal-World investigation found wide variation in how much the directors of local nonprofits are paid.

An examination of public tax documents for 90 local nonprofits showed the heads of such organizations are paid anywhere from under $20,000 to more than $400,000 a year.

Here’s an analysis of the salary

data from the most recent available information, provided by the agency or tax documents: ! The median nonprofit director salary in Lawrence was about $57,000, far lower than the median nonprofit director salary nationwide of about $147,000, according to Charity Navigator’s 2010 Compensation Report. ! Half of the director salaries fall in a range between $42,000 and $81,000.

O

n Aug. 12, 1863, shade was a priority in Lawrence.

As the U.S. Civil War raged, evidently so did the heat.

It caused Lawrence City Council members to take up their pens and craft City Ordinance No. 114, declaring that city residents were hereby allowed to build a fence five feet beyond any shade tree to provide it protection.

How do we know this? Simple.

Lawrence’s official storybook tells us. Inside a locked storage room on the third floor of City Hall there’s a whole corner full of the books. Most of them are a good 18 inches tall and heavy. Inside many of them — the oldest ones — are

City Commission agenda packet that, even on a slow week, was normally at least an inch thick.

Take that times five commissioners and numerous staff members, and you can begin to hear the trees cry for mercy. Now all that information is online.

But even if City Hall never produced another scrap of paper, just keeping all the files it already has accumulated would be quite a chore. There are personnel files, there are invoices, there are meeting minutes, and surprisingly there are lots and lots of building plans.

Douglass estimates the city has !"!"! more than 2,000 copies of large, No, Lawrence City Hall isn’t rolled building plans. They’ve quite a paperless society. City gov- been submitted with building ernment does produce a lot less permits over the years, and the paper than it used to. For decades, the city would produce a paper Please see BOOKS, page 2A line after line of handwritten ink.

They’re city ordinances. To make a law in Lawrence, you first have to pass an ordinance. And there is one thing about an ordinance that was true in the Horse and Buggy Age of the 1850s and the Electronic Age of the 21st century. An ordinance, according to state law, has to have a home in a book — a real, honest-to-goodness paper creation.

A database won’t do.

“They still all go into an actual book,” said Jonathan Douglass, Lawrence’s city clerk.

TOPEKA — The principle that all Kansans, regardless of where they live in the state, have equal representation is a fantasy.

And nowhere is that more evident than the 38th State House District in Douglas and Johnson counties.

That district has 40,677 people, which is 17,961 people more than the ideal size House district of 22,716. That means the 38th District has almost the population of two House districts.

Head to Hodgeman County in western Kansas and the 117th District has 18,133 people, which is 4,583 fewer than it should have.

In other words, the 40,677 people in the 38th have the same political might in the Kansas House — one representative — as the 18,133 people in LEGISLATURE the 117th.

“The folks in my district don’t have the same voice as people in rural Kansas do,” said Rep. Anthony Brown, R-Eudora, who represents the 38th.

Kansas legislators this year must redraw these legislative district lines to even out the population shifts that have occurred since the last redistricting 10 years ago.

But in a move last week, those urban and growing legislative districts in Kansas may continue to get the short end of the stick.

The House redistricting committee voted to allow population deviation in drawing new legislative district lines of plus or minus 5 percent. That means the final maps could establish districts already 10 percent out of whack before further deviations occur as population continues to shift over the next 10 years.

Rep. Jim Ward, D-Wichita, tried to get the committee to approve guidelines that would allow zero deviation, which is the Please see LEGISLATURE, page 2A

Democrats dominate county fundraising in 2011

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

The disparity in fundraising between Douglas County’s major political parties continued in 2011.

And it was a large, large disparity.

The Douglas County Democratic Central Committee, which urged many

supporters to give monthly donations of amounts such as $10 and $25, raised $27,633 in 2011, according to its campaign finance report filed with the Kansas Governmental Ethics Commission.

The only real Douglas County Republican Party contribution in 2011 was $424.75 in unclaimed property from the state for an old

utilities deposit on a former headquarters building. The GOP also reported 86 cents in interest income on its U.S. Bank account.

Ed Quick, the Democratic committee’s chairman, said party leaders worked hard last year to get people to make small contributions monthly because they can add up.

“We’ve had quite a bit of success this year,” he said, “and we hope to build on that.”

The central committee members are also working to ramp up for the August and November elections, as they plan to open a campaign headquarters and help organize voter registration events. Quick said the party

also wants to be prepared for recent changes in state election laws as they seek to register new voters for county, state and congressional races and the presidential election.

The party is not yet far along in its candidate recruitment, especially for Please see DEMOCRATS, page 2A

same target state legislators have when they redraw maps of the state’s four congressional districts.

Rural legislators, and some urban ones, defeated that motion.

“It is not feasible to keep counties and towns together” with zero deviation, Rep. Caryn Tyson, R-Parker, said.

Others argued that courts that review redistricting plans are more strict with congressional lines but will allow population deviation between state legislative districts.

Rep. Lance Kinzer, ROlathe, then bargained for a 3 percent deviation. But that was also defeated.

“People are protecting their own interests,” Brown said.

Douglas County is further hindered in the redistrict-

state legislative seats, mostly because they’re waiting to see what happens this legislative session with redistricting.

As for the Republican finance report, Richard Todd, the county’s GOP chairman, could not be reached for comment Friday, but the fundraising disparity between the two county parties appears to be following a trend from the last decade.

The Democrats tend to raise several thousand dollars as part of an organized campaign — they received $20,335 in contributions in 2005 — while the Republicans raise very little, especially in off-year election cycles — $800 in 2005. But a group of Republican supporters often work hard for candidates in certain county and state legislative races.

It’s no secret that Douglas County has become an outlier compared with nearly all other counties in Republicanrich Kansas.

city believes it’s important to keep them in perpetuity for historical and other reasons, although Douglass is exploring electronically scanning many of them. Thankfully such plans are now required to be submitted electronically.

Building plans, ordinances, meeting minutes, resolutions and some personnel records are on the list of documents that never get thrown away.

Many others, though, are allowed to be trashed after a certain numbers of years.

That, however, doesn’t mean they always get thrown away on time. Douglass can attest to that. His office has spent about one day per week from July through the end of this year sorting and destroying old records stored in the city solid waste facility in North Lawrence.

At the end of the project, Douglass sent 1,289 cubic feet of documents — about 880 boxes — to a private company where they’ll be stored for 17.5 cents per cubic foot per month.

He shredded 9,283 pounds of documents.

“Why don’t people write like that anymore? Look at that ink on the downstroke.”

Others were less fascinated.

“That makes my hand hurt thinking about all that writing,” Assistant City Manager Diane Stoddard said.

Regardless, the book still draws a crowd when it is pulled out for examination.

These days that is not often.

Even the newer books aren’t used much. All new ordinances also are maintained in an electronic database and kept online.

But the books remain, just in case. For Douglass they often bring to mind one thought.

Back to the shade trees and fences to protect them.

On Aug. 12, 1863, it is not surprising that protection was on the mind of Lawrence residents. But of shade trees?

The last ordinance entered into the book on Aug. 12, 1863, had a subject that seemed more likely. Ordinance No. 115 clarified that the city marshal indeed had the power to arrest anyone for violating a city law. Perhaps residents had an inkling of what was to come.

Just nine days later, on Aug. 21, 1863, the greatest tragedy in the city’s history struck. William Quantrill and his band of raiders burned the city and killed more than 150 residents.

For the next eight months, Lawrence’s official story book fell silent. Not one official law passed in Lawrence during those dark days. Sometimes what’s not written says a lot, too.

Then, on April 30, 1864, some city clerk grabbed his pen and wrote again. The topic of the new law: regulating the sale of intoxicating liquor.

said Friday of the county’s almost 75,000 registered voters, 26,190 are Democrats, 26,097 are independents and 21,968 are Republicans. The county also has 636 Libertarians and 55 Reform Party voters.

Quick said he believed as conservative Republicans, including Gov. Sam Brownback, gained more power in state politics after the 2010 elections, it has galvanized Democratic support in Douglas County, especially for the 2012 election. Groups in Lawrence have been at odds with Brownback’s administration in the last year on several issues, including arts funding and an initial decision to close the local Kansas Social and Rehabilitative Services office. Local governments worked out an agreement to keep the local SRS office open, and Brownback has included funding for it in his current budget proposal.

“There’s quite a bit of dissatisfaction with what’s been going on in Topeka,” said Quick, adding it likely helped the party’s 2011 fundraising haul.

BRIEFLY Brown v. Board site to honor MLK WASHINGTON — The Brown v. Board of Education National Historic Site has activities planned to commemorate Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Children and family members can create protest signs inspired by slogans of the civil rights movement. The park will air two films about King: “Citizen King” and “Roads to Memphis.”

There also will be scavenger hunts and a trivia game focused on King. The trivia participants will take home a souvenir, and a special prize will be awarded to the top-scoring team in each game.

The Topeka park tells the story of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that toppled segregated education.

Admission to all national parks is free through Monday. Brown park site superintendent David Smith calls it “a great excuse to go to a park.”

Man charged with trying to drown kids KANSAS CITY, KAN. — A 23-year-old man is charged with attempting to drown his two young children in Kansas City, Kan. Wyandotte County prosecutors filed child abuse, making a criminal threat and domestic battery charges Friday against Lamonte J. Brown.

The Kansas City Star reported that Brown’s 1- and 3-year-old children were held underwater in a bathtub Thursday night. Police said they managed to stop Brown after they were called to the apartment and heard a woman screaming.

Authorities said the children did not suffer serious injury and are in the custody of their mothers.

Brown is being held on a $1 million bond. It wasn’t immediately known whether he had an attorney.

Police: Woman shot by officer had knife WICHITA — Police say an officer shot and critically wounded a woman because she was going after another woman with a knife.

The Wichita Eagle said the shooting happened Friday night.

Police Lt. Ken Landwehr said a 53-year woman pulled out a lockblade knife while four officers were trying to restrain the other woman. The woman with the knife cut the other woman’s blouse and undergarments.

Landwehr said one of the officers was between the two women when the 53-year-old started to go after the younger woman again. That’s when the officer shot the 53-year-old once.

The younger woman was only scratched.

The officer involved in the shooting was put on administrative leave. Landwehr says police will be reporting to the district attorney’s office about possible charges against the 53-year-old woman.

Media study looks at mothers who kill kids

By Chris Hong chong@ljworld.com

Barnett

Barbara Barnett admits the topic of her research is grim.

Barnett, an associate professor and associate dean at the School of Journalism and Mass Communications at

Kansas University, researches media coverage on mothers who kill their children.

Barnett had a career in the media before she had one researching it. In the 1970s and ’80s, she worked as a reporter in Charlotte, N.C. In 2003, she received her doctorate in journalism

at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, where she began her research on women in the media.

“Mothers have an elevated status in society,” she said. “I started thinking about how not being a mother or being a bad mother is perceived.”

Barnett became an assistant professor at KU in 2003. She has published several articles on highprofile child murder cases, examining how the media portray women and stereotypes about them.

Van Go program helps teens ‘go healthy’ Agency develops efforts to teach youths about food, movement, life skills

By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

Tofu, clementines, yoga, martial arts and stress management.

These are just a handful of the things that have been introduced to at-risk teens in Lawrence through the Go Healthy program at Van Go. “All of the activities take place within the context of job training. They address the whole person and how to make each individual healthier and, therefore, more employable,” said Eliza Nichols, Van Go marketing director.

Van Go, 715 N.J., is a social service agency that provides job training and employment for about 30 at-risk youths, ages 14 to 21. They are hired to create artwork that is sold to the community. Van Go’s goal is to improve their lives by using art as a vehicle for self-expression and self-confidence.

Donations grow for family that lost home Agencies helping a Douglas County family whose house was destroyed by a fire have been inundated with donations and are now expanding their efforts.

Lori Johns, director of the Roger Hill Volunteer Center, said organizers have received about 60 calls to pick up furniture and other items for the family of Roger and Camay Guillory, who lost their home in a Dec. 30 fire west of Lawrence.

“This is obviously way more than what this one family needs, but we have secured a donation of space from a downtown business owner who will let us store large items in his empty warehouse, so we would like to collect everything and make it available to other families in crisis,” Johns said. “What we are lacking is a way to pick up items and move them to the warehouse.”

Anyone with a truck and moving dollies and is willing to help pick up items can leave a message at the volunteer center office at 865-5030 or email info@ RHVC.org.

Q:

I understand there is a street in Lawrence named Sawhill, and I was wondering who it was named for.

A:

Megan Gilliland, communications manager for the city, provided this answer: Developers propose street names through the subdivision plat process. The city reviews the naming suggestions to make sure the name does not exist somewhere else in the city, but developers generally do not provide an explanation for street name choices.

Gov. eyes gambling funds for Kansas debt TOPEKA — With two new state-owned casinos opening for business, Gov. Sam Brownback wants to use almost $70 million from the state’s share of gambling revenues to retire outstanding debt.

The bonds were issued in recent years to finance state projects, including a new Statehouse parking garage, cabins at state parks and improvements to the Kansas Judicial Center.

Budget Director Steve Anderson said the policy decision was in response to growing concern among some legislators that debt was being ignored or not retired as quickly as it could.

Kansas has more than $4.2 billion in outstanding debt, including $1.2 billion in bonds backed by general state revenues.

NONPROFIT DIRECTORS WHO MAKE MORE THAN $100,000: ! Sheahon Zenger, KU Athletics: $450,000 ! Gene Meyer, Lawrence Memorial Hospital: $443,598 ! Dale Seuferling, KU Endowment: $403,965 ! Kevin Corbett, KU Alumni: $323,452 ! Steve Warren, KU Center for Research: $305,467 ! Bruce Beale, DCCCA: $300,000 ! Rhett Evans, the Environmental Institute of Golf: $237,106 ! Matthew McClorey, Lawrence Regional Technology Center: $175,124

Nonprofits CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

‘Not apples to apples’ Trying to compare nonprofit salaries and figuring out a way to gauge fair pay for such work is a complicated and subjective task, said James Abruzzo, a nonprofit compensation specialist for DHR International.

“It’s not apples to apples all the time,” said Abruzzo, who helps nonprofits set compensation levels.

For instance, those in the health care sector of the nonprofit world, such as hospital directors, are typically paid on the higher end of the scale, Abruzzo said.

That’s the case in Lawrence, as Gene Meyer, Lawrence Memorial Hospital president, is second only to KU Athletic Director Sheahon Zenger in salary. Meyer is paid about $440,000.

Typically, the higher the budget and fundraising needs, the higher the salary, Abruzzo said.

That helps explain why some local directors, even in the same sector, make more than others, he said.

In Lawrence, one of the higher-paid directors, Bruce Beale, who makes $300,000 overseeing the substance abuse and counseling agency DCCCA, handles an annual budget of about $20 million.

That compares to local nonprofits like Douglas County Senior Services, Family Promise of Lawrence, and the Douglas County Dental Clinic, which pay their directors about $50,000 but have much smaller operating budgets.

Regardless of industry standards, it might be shocking for some donors to learn the heads of nonprofits make hundreds of thousands in the name of the charity.

Sandra Miniutti, vice president of Charity Navigator, which releases an annual national nonprofit Compensation Report, said her organization gets a lot of inquiries from donors and the public outraged by what some nonprofit directors make.

Though the IRS sets vague salary guidelines for nonprofit directors, the process for setting compensation is the key to ensuring nonprofits have legitimate compensation practices, Miniutti said.

That process should include comparisons of the salaries of other directors at similar nonprofits in similar sectors. For instance, the board of a homeless shelter would look at the salary of a shelter director with a similar budget in the same general geographic location.

Representatives from several of the nonprofits that pay directors on the higher end of the scale detailed such processes for the JournalWorld.

Kathy Claussing Willis, Lawrence Memorial Endowment: $121,853 ! Cortney Buffington, Kansas Research and Education Network: $114,633 ! Paul Flaa, Haskell Light: $114,571 ! Susanne Shaw, Accrediting Council on Education in Journal-

ism & Mass Communications: $111,364 ! Judith Bellome, Douglas County Visiting Nurses Association: $107,191 ! Richard Jackson, ECKAN: $100,395 ! Judy Culley, The Shelter, Inc.: $100,072 * The median salary for all agencies in this study was about $57,000 — For a full list of local nonprofit director salaries, visit LJWorld.com

ABOUT THE DATA How we selected nonprofits for this study: ! Obtained a list from the Internal Revenue Service of all registered nonprofits in Lawrence. ! Excluded any agency that had revenues of less than $20,000 or agencies that paid a director less than $10,000. ! Included ECKAN, which is housed in Ottawa, because of its close involvement with the Lawrence community. ! Also included Lawrence Memorial Hospital, which has a slightly different tax classification than other nonprofits in this study.

How we obtained the data ! Most of the nonprofits’ IRS 990 forms, which provide ment Association’s board of trustees, described the rigorous process the board goes through to come up with a compensation package in excess of $400,000 for director Dale Seuferling.

In addition to performance evaluations, the process is rooted in analyzing and comparing what similar agencies pay, he said.

A comparison of several other university endowment nonprofits shows Seuferling’s salary is in line with industry standards. For instance, the head of the University of Nebraska Foundation makes about $410,000, while the director of the University of Oklahoma Foundation makes just under $300,000.

Chuck Heath of Lawrence serves on the board of directors for both Lawrence Memorial Hospital and DCCCA, and detailed a similar review process.

“It’s a very thorough process,” he said. “It’s by no means without conversation.”

In the end, the salaries are necessary for the type of high-level work the directors perform and to ensure keeping quality people, Heath said.

“Both of them are outstanding at what they do,” Heath said. “The greatest disservice we could do is lose people like this,” That’s a common sentiment across the nonprofit world, Abruzzo said, as nonprofits must compete for leadership candidates against the for-profit sector, which can typically offer much higher compensation packages.

“There’s a tendency for them to say you have to pay for quality,” said Abruzzo, and nonprofits have a smaller pool of candidates for highlevel positions. “There is a sparsity of nonprofit talent.”

Of the 90 agencies examined by the Journal-World, 72 have directors making under $100,000, while 36 directors make $50,000 or less.

The sacrifice in pay by such nonprofit executives is a point rarely highlighted, Abruzzo said.

Dealing with dwindling resources and slashed funding sources, some nonprofit directors eschew large salary increases as they experience the day-to-day funding struggles, he said.

“They’re taking less than they are worth,” Abruzzo said.

At Headquarters Counseling Center, executive director Marcia Epstein said it’s difficult to place her salary above other agency needs, particularly in tough times.

For the past several years, Epstein’s salary has hovered around $42,000 as she works to make a decreasing amount of revenue go further.

In 2010, the agency saw its revenue, which is less than some local directors make, dip from about $225,000 in 2009, to about $209,00 in its 2010 fiscal year.

“Salaries are not the first priority,” said Epstein, conceding it’s difficult not to daydream about being able to offer her dedicated staff better pay and benefits.

Through the years in the nonprofit world, she’s aware she could skip over to the for-profit sector and make a higher salary. But she and her family are comfortable with her working for less pay.

“It’s an honor,” she said.

“We’ve had wonderful things in our life in spite of my salary.”

Romney’s wins not great but good enough

EDITORIALS

Arts move Gov. Sam Brownback’s budget proposal to preserve the Kansas Arts Commission is a small step in the right direction.

T

here is a little good news for Kansas arts advocates in the state budget proposed by Gov. Sam Brownback.

It’s not great news, but it’s something.

Brownback’s budget includes $200,000 for a new entity that would merge the Kansas Arts Commission and the Kansas Film Commission under the Department of Commerce.

The $200,000 is the same amount Brownback proposed last year when he signed an executive order to abolish the Arts Commission. However, under the new proposal, that money will be shared with the Kansas Film Commission, which is receiving $105,000 in the current year’s budget, so that’s only an additional $95,000 to support Arts Commission activities. The new Creative Industries Commission also would have to continue to justify its funding based on the number of jobs it creates in the state. That’s why it’s in the Department of Commerce, but it doesn’t seem like a natural way to measure the success of “creative” ventures in the state.

The governor’s initial plan last year was to allocate $200,000 to the Kansas State Historical Society to facilitate the Arts Commission’s transition from being a state agency. The Kansas Legislature sought to override that plan with a budget that allocated about $700,000 to preserve the Arts Commission as a state agency. When the governor vetoed that funding, it left the Arts Commission intact but without any funding or staff to carry out its mission.

That move made Kansas the only state in the country without a publicly funded arts agency and cost the state about $1.3 million in matching federal arts money. Efforts to raise private funds to support arts in the state never got off the ground, and Brownback drew considerable criticism throughout the state.

The governor acknowledged during a recent visit to the Journal-World that the arts funding situation hadn’t worked out as he had planned. He still is allowing only $200,000 in his budget for both film and arts, but is pursuing a different strategy that will preserve a state-funded arts agency and presumably restore the state’s eligibility for federal matching funds. Making sure the state will qualify for matching funds is essential. The governor assumed the state would get those funds this year but later learned Kansas would not qualify, which had a devastating effect on art organizations across the state.

The $200,000 won’t go very far in supporting arts and film efforts across the state, but perhaps it at least will pay for minimal staffing to administer the state funds and additional funds raised from private sources. The Kansas Arts Foundation, created by Brownback last year to raise private money, will need to get to work. Those in favor of more support for the arts also may need to step up by giving more time and money to local efforts.

Brownback Budget Director Steve Anderson, who presented the funding proposal to the House Appropriations Committee, said the governor had listened to complaints about the decision to veto arts funding. Perhaps the governor also learned a few things about how arts funding works and how important it is to communities, large and small, across the state.

This year’s budget proposal is far less than most arts advocates would like, but may be a step in the right direction.

New Hampshire shrugged.

From the beach towns in the east to the mountain hamlets in the North Country, in the urban centers of midstate and through the creeping suburbs of the south, the state that regards itself as the great, if often cranky, arbitrator of presidential politics told America that its neighbor Mitt Romney was good enough to be the GOP nominee, but maybe not sparkly enough to ignite a Republican romance.

The first primary sent Romney, a former Massachusetts governor, onto the next round as the undisputed front-runner in the Republican sweepstakes.

It gave him momentum, if not passion, as the campaign swings south, first to South Carolina next Saturday and then to Florida at month’s end. He’s the man

David Shribman dshribman@post-gazette.com

“

For the second straight week, Romney at best can say he, and what he described as ‘our cause,’ won. At worst, he can claim he did not lose.” to beat, and there are strong indications that there is no one in this field who can beat him.

Still, New Hampshire 2012 will be remembered for two important questions, one political and one philosophical, that emerged from a week of intense face-toface campaigning that verged on riveting hand-to-hand combat.

Front-runner still weak The first is the weakness of the front-runner, who for the second week in a row drew about the same portion of the vote as he did four years earlier against a tougher, more diverse and overall more interesting field of rivals.

The second is the profound introspection these Republicans set in motion about the character of capitalism, unusual in any party but without precedent in the Republican Party perhaps since 1912. For nearly a week, Romney’s record as a crusading consultant rushing in to salvage profits amid corporate wreckage was at the center of the Republican debate. This was not the way the former Bain Capital chief, who has relentlessly

portrayed himself as a business savior rather than a job wrecker, had remotely intended. From all corners of a party that once was considered the curator of capitalism came an assault on Romney and important questions about the human costs of corporate restructuring and the moral consequences of bottom-line success and CEO compensation.

This, perhaps more than the results of New Hampshire, has the capacity to shift the American conversation, which remains preoccupied with the question of job creation and economic growth.

The hard-boiled burghers of the north, the shopkeepers of the lake country and the new-age entrepreneurs of the shiny, high-tech south unexpectedly found themselves in the middle of a raucous debate over the rectitude of corporate downsizing and whether outside consultants, armed with spreadsheets and MBAs, should be celebrated for what former House Speaker Newt Gingrich derided as “looting a company.”

That is the language one expects in the precincts of an Occupy tent community, not in a Republican primary in a state that voted twice for both Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan. What broke out in New Hampshire was class warfare of a distinct sort, waged by men of mostly modest upbringings against a onetime corporate warrior with impeccable establishment credentials.

In a way, the attack against Romney — an assault, it must be noted, that he parried with some elan — was itself an eloquent statement about American social mobility, the predominant theme of this campaign. Romney’s father, who picked potatoes and worked construction

before climbing to the chairmanship of American Motors Corp., was one of the striving survivors of the Great Depression. He was the son of a carpenter living a subsistence and then a rootless, debt-ridden childhood in Texas, California, Idaho and Utah. He did not hold a college degree.

Romney momentum Now the son, who Tuesday night described the new GOP critique of capitalism as “such a mistake for our party and for our nation,” is the first Republican in a generation to win contested races in New Hampshire and Iowa, though the latter came by only eight votes. No matter. This permits Romney to wheel into South Carolina as a formidable force, a significant factor in a party thirsty to end the presidency of Barack Obama. Indeed, a new Gallup Poll indicated Romney was the only candidate a majority of conservative and moderate/liberal Republicans regarded as an “acceptable” nominee.

Even so, there could be danger signals in what Romney called his “Granite State moment” Tuesday night. He polled substantially less than Sen. Edmund S. Muskie of Maine, another New Hampshire neighbor, who in 1972 was regarded as the unassailable front-runner, but whose 46 percent showing was regarded as unimpressive, even fatal. Muskie polled only 9 percentage points ahead of Sen. George S. McGovern of South Dakota, but Romney four decades later has no challenger remotely as skilled as those in the 1972 class.

The contender who exceeded expectations was former Gov. Jon Huntsman of Utah, whose thirdplace showing provided him the oxygen to continue. A former U.S.

ambassador to Beijing, Huntsman staked all on New Hampshire, much as former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania staked all on Iowa. Appealing in large measure to independents, Huntsman, who made some 170 appearances in the state, has the grit but probably not the support to be a factor going forward. In contrast, Santorum, who embraces many of the social-conservative issues that a substantial part of the GOP voting base feels haven’t won a sufficient airing, can hope for a more congenial environment in South Carolina.

Paul as independent?

Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, whose strong second-place finish once again showed he has a solid core of supporters — Tuesday night they chanted “President Paul” as he addressed them — underlined that he could force the Republican contest to continue longer than Republican strategists might hope. Whether he mounts an independent candidacy, endangering the GOP’s hopes in November, is Campaign 2012’s biggest unknown.

But Tuesday was Romney’s night, not the best night a Republican front-runner has enjoyed but much better than the one Sen. Bob Dole, skunked by conservative commentator Patrick J. Buchanan, experienced in 1996.

For the second straight week, Romney at best can say he, and what he described as “our cause,” won. At worst, he can claim he did not lose. If that continues, he could win the nomination by not losing, which against a weak president could be just enough to transform American politics.

Join the cause and get the book I have something for you.

In June 2010, I wrote in this space about a book, “The New Jim Crow,” by Michelle Alexander, which I called a “troubling and profoundly necessary” work.

Alexander promulgated an explosive argument. Namely, that the so-called “War on Drugs” amounts to a war on African-American men and, more to the point, to a racial caste system nearly as restrictive, oppressive and omnipresent as Jim Crow itself.

This because, although white Americans are far and away the nation’s biggest dealers and users of illegal drugs, African-Americans are far and away the ones most likely to be jailed for drug crimes.

And when they are set “free” after doing their time, black men enter a legal purgatory where the right to vote, work, go to school or rent an apartment can be legally denied.

It’s as if George Wallace were still standing in the schoolhouse door.

“The New Jim Crow” won several awards, enjoyed significant media attention, and was an apparent catalyst in the NAACP’s decision last year to call for an end to the drug war. The book was a sensation, but we need it to be more.

We need it to be a movement.

As it happens and not exactly by coincidence, Alexander’s book is being reissued in paperback this week as we mark the birthday of the man who led America’s greatest mass movement for social justice. In his battle against the original Jim Crow, Martin Luther King, in a sense, did what Alexan-

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Jan. 15, 1912: YEARS “While walking AGO along the ice on IN 1912 the river about two miles below the dam yesterday afternoon, Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Price, 907 Delaware, stepped upon a weak spot in the ice and both broke through and into the cold water below. Mr. Price grabbed for the edge of the ice as they went down. Luckily the ice was solid and he was able to pull himself out. He also helped his wife out and together they went to a farm house close by where they obtained some dry clothing and telephoned to town for a cab.

This morning they reported no ill effects from the cold bath other than feeling a little stiff.”

KANSAS GUARD TYSHAWN TAYLOR SIGNALS “THREE” AFTER A BUCKET AGAINST IOWA STATE during the second half. Taylor had a career-high 28 points in the Jayhawks’ 82-73 victory on Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse.

Taylor scores 28, silences Twitterati

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Much-criticized Tyshawn Taylor, who sparred with some Kansas University basketball fans on Twitter little over a week ago, said he definitely “felt the love” Saturday afternoon in Allen Fieldhouse and again Saturday night on the Internet.

“The fieldhouse was going crazy today. My teammates were going crazy. It was a good feeling. I love when the fieldhouse is like that,” the 6-foot-3 senior point guard said after exploding for a career-high 28 points off 10-of-21 shooting (3-of-9 from three) in the Jayhawks’ 82-73 come-from-behind victory over Iowa State.

Taylor scored 22 points the second half off 8-of-12 shooting, including 15 in a 30-9 run that turned a 52-40 deficit (at 16:59) into a 70-61 lead with 8:28 left.

“It’s an amazing feeling, man.

I can’t really describe it. How I was feeling at that moment was

Wide-open Withey makes Cyclones pay

incredible,” Taylor said of soaking in the roar of the crowd after he accepted a pass from Travis Releford and hit a layup, forcing ISU to call a timeout with KU’s lead up to 70-61. “You want to win the game. That’s what it comes down to, winning the game. I felt good.”

He made his Twitter followers feel downright dandy after propelling KU to its 14th victory against three losses, including a 4-0 mark in the Big 12.

“Big-time players for big-time games,” wrote one user on the website that caused so much controversy the night before last Saturday’s OU game when Taylor felt the need to respond to some KU fans who bashed his play.

“Taylor makes shots when it matters most,” wrote another.

“My young boy said, ‘There’s nothing Ty can’t do, dad.’ My son will sleep in his jersey tonight. Thanks for the show. KANSAS CENTER JEFF WITHEY (5) EXTENDS to tip a shot from Iowa State guard Chris Allen Please see KANSAS, page 4B during the second half.

“We shoot those shots every day in practice, but wide-open like that kind of messes with your head,” Withey said. “I just need to get more confident shooting that. If teams play like that, it should be a field day for me.”

Withey, who blocked a Chris Allen shot on the game’s opening possession, had his fingerprints all over the game in which Kansas recovered from a 12-point deficit to win, 82-73, in Allen Fieldhouse.

KU women fired up for Columbia finale

By Matt Tait

FREE STATE’S CHASE TAYLOR SNAPS after bowling a strike. Both FSHS and Lawrence High struggled in the events Saturday at Royal Crest Lanes. Story on page 3B.

Shock can do amazing things to the mind. It even can make Jeff Withey look more like a 7-footer than an 82-percent free-throw shooter.

Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg’s decision to leave Withey consistently unguarded from 10 feet and beyond triggered the shock in the junior center from San Diego. It seemed as if Withey’s mind told him things that look too good to be true generally are just that. He couldn’t possibly be that wide-open, could he? There had to be a trap door that led to a two-hour stay in a secret dungeon under the floor if he took the shot, right?

So he shot tentatively and missed on Kansas University’s first offensive possession Saturday against Iowa State. Seven minutes later, the ball was in his hands in the lane again, and it came with an invitation to shoot delivered by the Iowa State defense. Nothing but rim with Kansas trailing by nine points.

Fortunate to survive its double-overtime battle with Iowa State on Wednesday at Allen Fieldhouse, the Kansas University women’s basketball team heads to Missouri today for what could be the last time in a long while.

Because the Tigers are leaving the Big 12 for the SEC next season, today’s 11:30 a.m. tipoff marks one of two remaining guaranteed games between the longtime rivals, and KU coach Bonnie Henrickson is well aware of the significance of her team’s final trip to Columbia, Mo. “It matters because it could be tiddlywinks with Kansas and

Missouri, and it’s a big deal,” said Henrickson, in her eighth season at KU. “It didn’t take me long to BORDER figure that out WAR when I got here. It’s a rivalry game. It Who: Kansas doesn’t matter (13-2 overall, who won the 2-1 Big 12) vs. last one or if Missouri (10-4, you won it or 0-3) you lost it. It When: 11:30 won’t matter. a.m. today It’ll be a great Where: Columgame. And it’s bia, Mo. a great opportunity for us TV: FSN (cable to build on the ch. 36, 236) momentum we got (against Iowa State). But we gotta play well.”

With this year’s KU team (132 overall, 2-1 Big 12), momentum seems to be one of the most important ingredients in the concoction that includes talent, experience and expectations.

After knocking off No. 23 Texas on the road to open Big 12 play on Jan. 4, the Jayhawks returned home riding high and dropped a heartbreaker to instate rival Kansas State. Reeling from that loss, KU played three quarters of sluggish ball before rallying to knock off ISU in double-OT last Wednesday at home.

Now the focus shifts to starting today’s game against the Tigers the way they finished it against the Cyclones.

In Missouri, KU will face a team still searching for its first

conference victory. Other than a six-point home loss to Texas Tech on Jan. 7, the Tigers’ other Big 12 losses certainly are excusable. In the opener on Jan. 4, they lost, 90-46, at Baylor. And earlier this week, MU fell, 72-46, to Kansas State in Manhattan.

MU is led by senior forward Christine Flores, who is averaging 20 points per game, including 13 per contest in Big 12 play, good for second in the league behind Baylor’s Britney Griner.

Flores is bolstered by senior forward BreAnna Brock (15.4 ppg, 8.4 rebounds per game) and junior guard Sydney Crafton (6.8, 5.9).

“The Flores kid is having an unbelievable year,” Henrickson Please see KU WOMEN, page 3B

Paterno says he struggled with decision after abuse allegations STATE COLLEGE, PA. — Former Penn State coach Joe Paterno says he “didn’t know which way to go� after an assistant coach came to him in 2002 saying he had seen retired defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky sexually abusing a boy.

In his first public comments since being fired two months ago, Paterno told The Washington Post that assistant Mike McQueary “didn’t want to get specific� about details in his 2002 allegation involving Sandusky, who he claimed was showering with a boy in the Penn State football facility.

The Post reported Saturday that Paterno was hesitant to make follow-up calls because he didn’t want to be seen as trying to exert influence either for or against Sandusky. “I didn’t know which way to go ... And rather than get in there and make a mistake,� he told the Post before trailing off.

A day after he heard McQueary’s allegation, Paterno reported it to his superiors. Paterno said he previously had “no inkling� Sandusky might be a child molester.

Sandusky was criminally charged on Nov. 5 and faces dozens of counts. Paterno was ousted four days later after 46 years as head coach.

Paterno, 85, also is fighting lung cancer that was diagnosed days after his dismissal.

He was re-admitted to the hospital Friday for observation for what his family called a minor complication from treatments. He has been

undergoing chemotherapy and radiation. His condition improved Saturday morning, and he remained in the hospital, the family said.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Oregon QB to enter draft EUGENE, ORE. — Quarterback Darron Thomas says he is going to skip his senior season at Oregon to enter the NFL Draft.

Thomas made the announcement Saturday evening. He follows Oregon running back LaMichael James, who announced last week that he would also skip his final year of eligibility to go pro.

BASEBALL

Royals sign Kouzmanoff KANSAS CITY, MO. — Third baseman Kevin Kouzmanoff and the Kansas City Royals have agreed to terms on a minor-league contract that includes an invitation to spring training.

The team announced the deal Saturday.

Terms were not disclosed.

Kouzmanoff hit .235 with seven homers and 33 RBIs in 73 games for Oakland and Colorado last season. He’s a career .255 hitter over six seasons that included stops in Cleveland and San Diego.

The veteran led all National League third baseman in 2009 with a .990 fielding per-

centage and averaged nearly 19 homers per season from 2007-10, when he played regularly.

He’ll have a chance to compete for a utility job backing up Mike Moustakas at third base.

Maggert, Every lead at Sony HONOLULU — Jeff Maggert played bogeyfree in relatively calm conditions Saturday for a 6-under 64 that left the 47-year-old in a tie for the lead with Matt Every in the Sony Open.

Maggert is coming up on the six-year anniversary of his last win and missed a big chunk of last year after surgery on his right shoulder.

He is closing in on the Champions Tour, but showed he still has enough game for the big leagues. Every stalled on the back nine, and then birdied the last hole for a 68 to join Maggert at 12-under 198.

LHS bowlers knocked out early after hot start to tournament

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

What bowlers from both Lawrence and Free State high schools hoped would be a long Saturday afternoon at Royal Crest Lanes wrapped up early.

Both the boys and girls from Lawrence High were knocked out of the Baker format tournament in the second round. Ditto for Free State.

Neither team was around by the time the Topeka Seaman boys and Shawnee Heights girls won their tournament titles.

Coaches from both LHS and FSHS said the morning’s qualifying session, when each team rolled three games, wasn’t the problem. It was the tournament portion of the afternoon where the city’s bowlers ran into trouble.

LHS coach Paula Bastemeyer said the Lions had a hard time picking up many spares, and that led to their early exits.

“We didn’t do as well in the Baker portion as we would’ve liked,” Bastemeyer said of the second-round departures.

Lawrence’s boys had a pair of bowlers — senior Isaiah Ross and sophomore Tre Sexton — average more than 200 a game in the morning portion of the competition, which was used to seed tournament play.

To qualify for the Baker format tournament, teams bowled three games. Six bowlers competed from each team, and the top five scores were used for tournament seeding.

Played in a single-elimination format, the tournament began in the afternoon, with each head-to-head match decided by which team won two out of three games.

In the Baker format, five bowlers compete for each

LAWRENCE HIGH BOWLER ISAIAH ROSS CONCENTRATES before releasing the ball during a tournament on Saturday at Royal Crest Lanes. team. The first bowler rolls in the first and sixth frames, the second bowls in frames No. 2 and 7, and so on, with the fifth bowler finishing the rotation by rolling in the fifth and 10th frames.

So with Ross’ cumulative morning score of 609 and Sexton’s three-game score of 612, they helped put LHS in a fairly good spot. Connor Daniels wasn’t too far behind them with a 591.

After losing in the second round, Bastemeyer said the bowlers knew what cost them the chance at a more successful showing.

The bowlers’ thoughts: “We’ve got to work on our spares,” the coach related.

“There’s just no reason we should’ve been knocked out.”

Bastemeyer said the tournament, the season-opener for Lawrence’s teams, was a good learning experience for both the boys and girls.

LHS sophomore Kierstan Warren had the highest score for the girls, posting games of 177, 156 and 201 for a 534 series in the morning. Rebecca McNemee finished with a 465.

Bastemeyer said it was an average day for the bulk of the girls team — “not horrible, not spectacular.” She said she couldn’t complain, because the Lions ended up being competitive and earned a first-round bye before being eliminated.

Lawrence next bowls at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday at Topeka Seaman.

Free State bowlers recover after slow start The second-round losses for Free State’s teams didn’t seem that bad after what coach Anita Carlson described as a lethargic morning of qualifying games.

She said the Firebirds began the morning slowly, and she thought there might have been some jitters for the bowlers.

“There’s a lot of pressure to perform well,” Carlson said.

The first games, for the most part, weren’t what FSHS was looking for. However, the coach said the bowlers responded.

“They came out sluggish, but they pulled it out in the second and third sets, and that’s what we need,” Carlson said. “They did well as far as regrouping and getting it together and scoring high.”

With some returning bowlers on the boys team, the Free State coach said junior Jordan Jump, who rolled 635 in the morning, helped get the team back on track, as did Tyler Roste, who rolled to a three-game total of 615.

For the Firebirds’ girls team, it was freshman Bri Martin, with a three-game total of 505, who stood out.

Meredith Baker finished with 468.

“She has done extremely well,” Carlson said of Martin, noting the newcomer even showed leadership as a young team member.

The FSHS coach was particularly happy to see improvement in both teams from the beginning of the week to Saturday.

“All in all, it was a really positive showing,” Carlson said.

Up next for Free State is a 3:30 p.m. Thursday home quad.

said. “The Brock kid inside has been good. They’ve got some young kids that have played really well.”

KU has won three of the last four meetings and four of the previous six and leads the all-time series, 43-37. The Tigers own the advantage at home, 18-15. Last season, the teams split, with each winning a game on its home court. After leading for much of the first half in Columbia a year ago, KU struggled before the break and allowed Mizzou to take a 30-27 lead into halftime. That run proved to be the catalyst for MU’s 66-52 run-away victory.

With memories of that loss fresh in their minds, Henrickson said KU would use the lesson as motivation for today’s game.

“We’ll go there and play well,” Henrickson said.

“They made a run on us to go into the locker room last year at the half, and we kind of gave it away a little bit in spurts over there. So we gotta be good.”

KANSAS 82, IOWA STATE 73

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

Cyclones find positives in close loss

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

The frustration was evident, but there were no tears in the Iowa State locker room following ISU’s 82-73 loss to No. 10 Kansas University on Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse.

Three days after nearly gutting out a victory at home against No. 9 Missouri, the Cyclones controlled Saturday’s game most of the way, but fell victim to one of those signature KU runs and walked away wondering what happened.

“It’s frustrating, sure, but you try to look at the positives,” said ISU sophomore Royce White, who led the Cyclones with 18 points and 17 rebounds in 28 minutes. “If

Missouri’s 9 and Kansas is 10, we might be 11 or 12.”

After trailing 7-6 early on, Iowa State played from ahead until the 10:22 mark of the second half, when a bucket by KU’s Kevin Young put the Jayhawks in front, 6361. Once Kansas got in front again, the Cyclones never were able to recover, and the final nine minutes looked a lot like the 12 games in the series that preceded this one.

The Jayhawks have won 13 straight games against the Cyclones. ISU’s last victory against KU came in 2005 — in Allen Fieldhouse, no less — and many Cyclones sensed that Saturday would be the day the streak would end.

“There are a lot of variables in a basketball game,”

White said. “They’re one of the best teams in the country, and we knew they were gonna make a run. This is one of the hardest places to play, and as soon as they start to make their run, that crowd gets into it, and that was tough for us.”

Added ISU coach Fred Hoiberg: “The big thing we talked about is getting off to a good start. They come out of that locker room, and in the first five minutes it sometimes feels like they have six players on the floor.”

Early, the Cyclones did more than keep the KU crowd quiet. In jumping to a 17-7 lead, the Cyclones hit three three-pointers and played with the kind of swagger rarely seen from a

visiting team in Allen Fieldhouse.

ISU built a lead of as many as 11 in the first half and led by nine four times and 10 four times.

“We went to a new offense, and I’m sure they hadn’t scouted it because this was our first game running it,” White said. “We had a fiveout, nobody-in motion, and the whole point of it is just to keep the spacing real wide and high and leave lanes, and I think we did a pretty good job with it the whole game.

We missed some shots that we normally make (down the stretch), but it’s a big-time venue. You can’t blame people for missing shots.”

After leading by three at halftime, the Cyclones

pushed their lead to double digits — 50-40 — with a 7-0 run to start the second 20 minutes. Behind a stellar second half from senior guard Tyshawn Taylor and some serious toughness from center Jeff Withey, Kansas responded with a 30-11 run that put the Cyclones away.

White was more than willing to give Taylor credit for his big night, but also said the Cyclones’ emphasis on KU big man Thomas Robinson may have cost them.

“We knew he was their biggest threat coming in, and we wanted to try to contain him as much as possible,” White said of Robinson. “That’s how somebody like Tyshawn ends up getting 28. You worry so much about (Robinson),

and someone else gets loose and has the opportunity to hit some big-time shots.”

Although the loss dropped ISU to 12-5 overall and 2-2 in Big 12 play, White said the team would build from the setback.

“We’re still growing as a team,” he said. “This is still our first (17) games together.

We’ll get it.”

Asked if he was looking forward to another shot at the Jayhawks — Jan. 28, in Ames, Iowa — White smiled.

“Oh yeah,” he said. “You gotta look forward to that.

When you’re a competitor and you basically had the game in your favor the whole time, you definitely look forward to a chance to get ’em back at your house.”

KANSAS FORWARD THOMAS ROBINSON (0) DRIVES against Iowa State center Jordan Railey during the second half. KU rallied for an 82-73 victory Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse.

T-Rob troubled by ISU ————

Big man contributes despite attention

By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

Kansas University forward Thomas Robinson was swarmed so much by Iowa State’s defense Saturday that he didn’t even have a fieldgoal attempt after halftime.

That didn’t mean he wasn’t a big contributor in the Jayhawks’ 82-73 comeback victory over the Cyclones.

“I was proud of Thomas,” KU coach Bill Self said. “I thought considering the lack of production, the lack of touches, the way they guarded — they put two guys around him all the time — I thought he showed pretty good patience and poise today.”

Robinson’s final line wasn’t overly flashy, at least for what the team has come to expect from him. He posted 11 points on 4-for-10 shooting with 14 rebounds, three blocks and two assists in 32 minutes.

Perhaps his most important number, though, was

zero — as in, no turnovers for just the third time this season.

In a fast-paced, high-possession game, Robinson set the tone for KU’s big men, who combined for no turnovers. The Jayhawks had only seven giveaways in all, with four coming from Tyshawn Taylor and the other three coming from Elijah Johnson.

Robinson was pestered all day inside by ISU’s big men, who sagged to help on him. That actually opened up some shots for teammates like Jeff Withey.

“This is just kind of similar to what USC did to me, just keeping a man shadowing me the whole time,” Robinson said. “It was definitely tough, but we have other players on this team, so that’s definitely ... that’s the upside for us, knowing that my team can still play when I’m not performing at the highest level.”

Robinson said he couldn’t get frustrated by hounding defenses like ISU’s, simply

because he knows more will be coming.

“I still played pretty well, and Jeff stepped up, and Tyshawn stepped up,” Robinson said. “As long as we got the ‘W,’ that’s all that matters.”

For a while in the second half, Robinson watched from the bench while his team grabbed the momentum.

When he checked out of the game with 13:20 left, KU was trailing, 54-50. The Jayhawks went on a 20-12 run in his absence, taking a 70-66 lead before Robinson subbed back in at the 7:37 mark.

“I think he was as happy as anybody sitting over there that we got rolling,” Self said.

The next test for Robinson will be Baylor and its talented front line, which includes potential NBA lottery pick Perry Jones III. “It’s a challenge, definitely with them having length like that,” Robinson said. “But, I mean, they bleed just like we bleed.”

KANSAS CENTER JEFF WITHEY (5) PUMPS HIS FISTS as Iowa State forward Royce White complains to officials following a turnover during the second half.

Keegan CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

caught fire, most of those fingerprints were ones he would have liked to polish away, but next to Tyshawn Taylor, nobody played a bigger part in the comeback.

Withey played his best, most passionate half of basketball in a Kansas uniform.

It was Withey’s open lane jumper that he buried with Kansas down 12 points that started the comeback.

He finished the day with 13 points, 11 rebounds, seven blocked shots and two assists without a single turnover. In the second half alone, he amassed 11 points, six boards and six blocks.

The difference?

“At halftime, Tyshawn was in my ear telling me to be more confident when I

go up to shoot that. In the second half, I made the first one,” Withey said.

And then he proceeded to make life miserable for Cyclones who twisted their way into the lane and wished they hadn’t. Withey, not the only one assigned to guard him, did a better job of containing Iowa State star Royce White (18 points, 17 rebounds) in the second half than the first.

“He is the tallest guy we have played, so that was different for us,” White said.

“That was something we had to think about when we were going into the lane. He is a big-time shot-blocker and a big-time presence on the defensive end, and it showed.”

Withey leads the Big 12 with 3.1 blocked shots per game. He was in the Cyclones’ heads even more than the phantom defense played on him away from the basket was in his head.

“We read the stats and

look at all that stuff, and he hadn’t hit a shot outside of the paint this year, so we backed off and made him step up and shoot,” Hoiberg said. “When Thomas Robinson is in the post, we felt like we needed a couple of guys in there. Withey hit a few, and then he got loose inside on a few as well, a couple of rebounds, a couple dumpoffs, and he went up and finished. He is a long dude.

That is a tough front line to play against.”

Teams that dare Withey to shoot now won’t have shockvalue going for them now.

As the game progressed, he enjoyed the open space.

Anything that makes teams think twice about sending an army of defenders at Robinson at all times can only be a good thing for Kansas, which has a stiffer front-court challenge awaiting Monday when fourth-ranked, undefeated Baylor visits Allen Fieldhouse.

Seminoles clobber No. 3 Tar Heels, 90-57 The Associated Press

Florida State 90, No. 3 North Carolina 57 TALLAHASSEE, FLA. — Deividas Dulkys scored a career-high 32 as Florida State stunned North Carolina on Saturday.

The Seminoles (11-6, 2-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) started the second half on a 30-8 run to take a 66-36 lead en route to handing North Carolina its most lopsided conference loss since a 96-56 loss to Maryland in 2003.

It was the worst loss for North Carolina under coach Roy Williams.

Harrison Barnes scored 15 points, and Tyler Zeller added 14 for North Carolina (153, 2-1), which finished 4-of-21 from three-point range.

Patriots end Tebow’s run FOXBOROUGH, MASS. (AP) — Tom Brady silenced Tebowmania with a record-shattering performance.

Brady threw six touchdown passes, five in the first half, putting the New England Patriots into the AFC championship game after roughing up Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos, 45-10, Saturday night.

The Patriots (14-3), winners of nine straight games, will host either Baltimore or Houston next Sunday for a spot in the Super Bowl. Saturday night’s romp snapped a three-game postseason losing streak, two of those at Gillette Stadium, and lifted the Patriots to the verge of their fifth Super Bowl appearance in 11 seasons. They’ve won three of those.

“We came in and started fast and it was a big win for us,” said Brady, who even got off a 48-yard punt on third down.

From the first snap, this was a mismatch. The Patriots were not going to make the same mistakes the Steelers made against this team.

A nation transfixed by Tebow’s play, if not his principles, tuned in Saturday to see if he had more heroics in store for Brady and company.

He had nothing left as the Patriots made this must-see TV only for those who live in New England.

With New England up 427, the fans began their derisive Teeee-bow chants. On the next play, the Broncos quarterback was sacked for an 11-yard loss — one of five sacks for New England’s 31stranked defense.

“We went out and played very hard and good things happened,” defensive tackle Vince Wilford said. “A great team win.”

SUMMARY Denver 0 7 3 0—10 New England 14 21 7 3—45 First Quarter NE-Welker 7 pass from Brady (Gostkowski kick), 13:09.

MISSED FIELD GOALS-None.

And so ended one of the season’s most exciting story lines — one that began when Denver was 1-4 and made Tebow a starter. The onetime third-stringer promptly won six in a row and seven of eight, with a string of stunning comebacks.

That surge ended with a 41-23 home loss to New England, and the Broncos dropped their next two, backing into the AFC West title.

But they rebounded nicely in their first playoff game since the 2005 season.

Niners strike late, stun Saints, 36-32 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — In one triumphant afternoon, playoff first-timer Alex Smith joined a pair of 49ers Hall of Fame quarterbacks with his own indelible postseason moment.

Joe Montana had “The Catch.” Steve Young had “The Catch II.” Now, Smith added another epic play to the 49ers’ storied history: “The Grab.”

Smith completed a 14-yard touchdown pass to Vernon Davis with nine seconds left just after Drew Brees had put the high-powered Saints ahead, and resurgent San Francisco capitalized on five New Orleans turnovers for a thrilling 36-32 playoff victory Saturday.

“You’ve got to call it ‘The Grab,’” Davis said of his play.

“We were down. I had to make it happen to take my teammates where we want to go.”

What a way to celebrate the 30-year anniversary of “The Catch.”

Montana to Dwight Clark then. Smith to Davis now.

Smith ran for a 28-yard TD with 2:11 left and threw another scoring pass to Davis in the first quarter. Coach Jim Harbaugh’s NFC West champions (14-3) proved that a hard-hitting, stingy defense can still win in the modern, wide-open NFL by holding off one of league’s most dynamic offenses.

“This is huge for us,” Davis said. “It’s history, legendary, anything you can describe.”

Brees completed a 66-yard touchdown pass to Jimmy Graham with 1:37 left and the Saints seemed poised to rally from an early 17-point deficit when Smith and Davis delivered once more. It was a wild back-and-forth finish featuring an impressive passing duel over the waning moments.

Their highlight show came in the opposite end zone from where Clark caught a stretched-out six-yard pass from Montana on Jan. 10,

MISSED FIELD GOALS-None.

1982. Saturday’s game-winner by a leaping Davis — who plowed over a defender as he landed — came in the same end zone where Steve Young hit Terrell Owens for a winning TD with three seconds left in a 30-27 wildcard win over the Packers in the 1999 playoffs. T.O.’s grab became known as “The Catch II.” San Francisco triumphed in its first playoff game in nine years and will move on to face the New York Giants or defending champion Green Bay Packers, whichever wins today. A win by the Giants would give the 49ers the home field.

Thank and remember veterans on Valentine’s Day Dear Annie: Among my joys as President Barack Obama’s Secretary of Veterans Affairs is the chance to see the expressions of gratitude from Americans of all walks of life for the service and sacrifices made by our military veterans. This happens every day — from small gestures of thanks to hours of volunteer service at our many veterans facilities.

As Americans, we owe a debt of gratitude to the men and women who have worn the uniform on our behalf.

Veterans always appreciate heartfelt recognition of their service.

Each February, many of your readers join us in the National Salute to Veteran Patients. This program encourages Americans to visit and volunteer at the Department of Veterans Affairs medical centers and to send letters of thanks or valentines to those who have protected our nation. This year’s national salute is Feb. 12-18. Last year, more than 328,000 valentines were received at VA medical centers, and 21,330 people visited nearly 70,000 veteran patients. That was an overwhelming increase from 2009, and I thank you and your readers for your work in bringing attention to this worthy cause.

The purpose of the national salute is threefold: to pay tribute and express appreciation to veterans, to increase community awareness of the

2C SUNDAY, JANUARY 15, 2012

Annie’s Mailbox

role of VA medical centers, and to encourage citizens to visit hospitalized veterans and become involved as volunteers. Since 1978, the salute has presented Americans another opportunity to say “thank you” to our veterans and to those who give them care. I encourage your thoughtful readers to take some time this February to honor our veterans. And once again, Annie, thank you for your support of this outstanding program.

For more information regarding the National Salute to Veteran Patients and volunteer opportunities at a local VA medical center, please visit the VA Voluntary Service Web page at www.volunteer.va.gov. — Sincerely, Eric K. Shinseki Dear Secretary Shinseki: Every year, our readers make us proud with their outpouring of appreciation for our veterans through the Valentines for Vets program. We know they will come through again.

Animated ‘Dynamite’ a dud There was a time when hit movies inspired “novelizations,” quickie books describing the story of a film you’d already seen a dozen times. There wasn’t much point in reading them. And there are not many reasons to watch the animated “Napoleon Dynamite” (7:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., Fox) either.

In the show’s defense, it’s supposed to offer a kind of sequel, or a deeper exploration of the movie’s characters and elements, like the Cartoon Network’s “Clone Wars,” which is an animated version of “Star Wars.” But I couldn’t help feeling that the 2004 movie’s extraordinarily languid pace and deadpan sensibility seemed particularly ill-suited to animation’s manic potential. At worst, it makes viewers think that the charming, original comedy was a “Beavis and ButtHead” imitation.

All of the actors behind the movie’s characters have returned to provide the voices. It’s a reunion they should have skipped.

Ricky Gervais hosts “The 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards” (7 p.m., NBC) for the third time. Look for plenty of awkward moments. It’s fruitless to try to anticipate the winners, but I will go out on a limb to predict that “American Horror Story” will pick up some trophies in the TV categories. It’s an odd, lurid and addictive show that seems particularly suited to the slightly off-center tastes of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association that votes on the Golden Globes.

I’ll be very shocked if Jessica Lange doesn’t win best supporting actress for “Story.” For those who haven’t seen it, imagine if Blanche DuBois wandered into “The Shining,” and you’re just getting started. At a time when some of the best dramas on television (“Homeland,” ‘‘Boardwalk Empire”) are slow to build and unfold, “Story” is a toboggan ride of unexpected shocks. To put it bluntly, stuff happens on that show — scary, bizarre and unexpected stuff. And it happens all the time. The only downside to “Story” and its onslaught of action is that it’s hard to imagine how it can pick up the threads next season. I can’t wait.

Tonight’s other highlights

Scheduled on “60 Minutes” (6 p.m., CBS): Groupon CEO Andrew Mason.

“Undercover Boss” (7 p.m., CBS) returns for a new season.

Orphaned children need help on “Once Upon a Time” (7 p.m., ABC).

Alicia defends a lawyer’s right to silence on “The Good Wife” (8 p.m., CBS).

Wartime needs turn Downton into a hospital for officers on “Downton Abbey” on “Masterpiece Classic” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings).

Gaby plays corporate matchmaker on “Desperate Housewives” (8 p.m., ABC).

Tensions mount before a first-ever commercial flight to Moscow on “Pan Am” (9 p.m., ABC).

Cullen’s fateful choice on “Hell on Wheels” (9 p.m., AMC).

A twister-chaser in need of a dermatologist visits Tornado Alley on “World’s Smallest Storm Chaser” (9 p.m., TLC).

Support for our veterans transcends politics. These men and women deserve our thanks and appreciation.

Sending a valentine or, better yet, visiting our veterans or volunteering at one of the VA medical facilities is a wonderful way to express our gratitude to those who have served our country. The veterans would be especially thrilled if you could spend a few minutes visiting and talking about their families and hometowns. Tell them how much you appreciate their service. Teachers, you have always been wonderfully supportive in making this a class project, especially with those charming and

much-appreciated handmade valentines. Encourage your students to express their creativity while learning the satisfaction of doing for others.

We can never repay these courageous veterans for the sacrifices they have made on our behalf, but we can take the time to let them know they have not been forgotten.

Please remember our veterans this Valentine’s Day. We know of nothing else that costs so little and brings so much happiness. — Marcy and Kathy — Please e-mail your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or write to Annie’s Mailbox, P.O. Box 118190 Chicago, IL 60611.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Sunday, Jan. 15: This year you could be more keyed in to your career and public image than you have been in a while. Others often don’t understand your motives, as you keep a lot close to the chest. If you are single, a relationship could form out of a misunderstanding.

You will need to juggle a lot of demands if you are attached. Libra understands much more than you think.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) As a proactive sign, you often assume the lead. Stop for the day.

Let others make the first move. Tonight: Continue today’s theme.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You might have had a project on the back burner. Now is the time to pull it out and get going.

Tonight: Time to relax.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Your creativity opens up. Should a disagreement occur, pull out of the immediate, give up being right or wrong, and let go. Tonight: Let your hair down.

Actress Margaret O’Brien is 75. Actress Andrea Martin is 65.

Actor-director Mario Van Peebles is 55. Actor James Nesbitt is 47.

jacquelinebigar.com

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Stay close to home and honor how you feel. Don’t let a talk take on connotations that really aren’t there. Tonight: Anchor in.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Initialize talks rather than speculate.

Honestly understand where others are coming from. Tonight: Happily hanging out.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept.

22) You could be slightly overwhelmed by everything that is happening in your immediate circle. There is no reason to put up with a disagreeable situation. Tonight: Live for the moment.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You have it in your power to put the kibosh on any problem that comes your way. Once you straighten out a misunderstanding, everything flows as you would like it to.

Tonight: Act as if there is no tomorrow.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Taking a day just for yourself isn’t a sin.

Everyone needs his or her private time. Tonight: Do your thing.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21)

BIRTHDAYS Singer Lisa Lisa (Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam) is 45.

Actor Chad Lowe is 44.

Alt-country singer Will Oldham (aka “Bonnie Prince Billy”) is 42. Ac-

Friends surround you. There is no reason for you to be upset or angry. Just talk through a misunderstanding.

Tonight: Going to the wee hours.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might not be aware of how others admire you. The way you handle a confusing if not difficult matter demonstrates your innate instincts. Tonight: Enjoying the people you are with.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Listen to the whisperings around you.

Your ability to get past an insecurity emerges. Tonight: Choose a new spot for dinner.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) A partner chooses to be much closer and more open after you ride through a misunderstanding. Recognize that neither of you are wrong and you simply have different ways of thinking.

Tonight: Go with a loved one’s choice.

— The astrological forecast should be read for entertainment only.

Night of chaos, fear after cruise ship ran aground

By Frances D’Emilio and Nicole Winfield Associated Press

PORTO SANTO STEFANO, ITALY — The first course had just been served in the Costa Concordia’s dining room when the wine glasses, forks and plates of cuttlefish and mushrooms smashed to the ground. At the magic show in the theater, the trash cans tipped over and the theater curtains turned on their side.

Then the hallways turned upside down, and passengers crawled on bruised knees through the dark. Others jumped alone into the cold Mediterranean Sea. The terrifying, chaotic escape from the luxury liner was straight out of a scene from “Titanic” for many of the 4,000-plus passengers and crew on the cruise ship, which ran aground off the Italian coast late Friday and flipped on its side with a 160-foot gash in its hull. At least three bodies had been recovered, and divers searched the underwater belly of the boat for a few dozen more who remained unaccounted for. By late Saturday, the number of missing had dwindled to about 40.

The Italian news agency ANSA quoted rescuers as finding two survivors alive and in good condition in a cabin.

ANSA said fire department rescuers found two Asians in a cabin inside the liner late Saturday night and were bringing out the survivors.

The Friday the 13th grounding of the Concordia was one of the most dramatic cruise ship accidents in recent memory. It immediately raised a host of questions: Why did it hit a reef so close to the Tuscan island of Giglio? Did a power failure cause the crew to lose control? Did the captain — under investigation on manslaughter allegations — steer it in the wrong direction on purpose? And why did crew members tell passengers they weren’t in danger until the boat was listing perilously to the side?

The delay made lifeboat rescue eventually impossible for some of the passengers, some of whom jumped into the sea while others waited

THE LUXURY CRUISE SHIP COSTA CONCORDIA LEANS ON ITS SIDE after running aground off the tiny Tuscan island of Giglio, Italy, on Saturday in this photo released by the Guardia di Finanza (border police). The luxury cruise ship ran aground off the coast of Tuscany, sending water pouring in through a 160-foot gash in the hull and forcing the evacuation of some 4,200 people from the listing vessel early Saturday, the Italian coast guard said.

to be plucked to safety by helicopters. Some boats had to be cut down with an axe.

“We had to scream at the controllers to release the boats from the side,” said Mike van Dijk, from Pretoria, South Africa. “It was a scramble, an absolute scramble.”

Van Dijk said the boat he was on — on the upended port side — got stuck along the ship’s wall as it came down.

“It was a hell of a sound, the crunching,” he said.

is owned by the U.S.-based cruise giant Carnival Corp., defended the actions of its crew and said it was cooperating with the investigation.

Carnival Corp. issued a statement expressing sympathy that didn’t address the allegations of delayed evacuation.

The captain, Francesco Schettino, was detained for questioning by prosecutors, investigating him for suspected manslaughter, abandoning ship before all others, and causing a shipwreck, state TV and Sky TV said.

Prosecutor Francesco Verusio was quoted by the ANSA news agency as saying Schettino deliberately chose a sea route that was too close to shore.

Schettino’s lawyer, Bruno Leporatti told the agency: “I’d like to say that several hundred people owed their life to the expertise that the

commander of the Costa Concordia showed during the emergency.”

France said two of the victims were Frenchmen; a Peruvian diplomat identified the third victim as Tomas Alberto Costilla Mendoza, 49, a crewman from Peru. Some 30 people were injured, at least two seriously.

The ship began its lurch at the beginning of dinner service in the ship’s two-story dining room, where passengers described a scene of frantic confusion.

Silverware, plates and glasses crashed down on them from the upper floor balcony, children wailed and darkened hallways upended themselves after the ship began its lurch. Panicked passengers slipped on broken glass as the lights went out while crew members insisted nothing serious was wrong.

“Have you seen ‘Titanic’?

That’s exactly what it was,” said Valerie Ananias, 31, a schoolteacher from Los Angeles who was traveling with her sister and parents. They all bore dark red bruises on their knees from the desperate crawl they endured along nearly vertical hallways and stairwells, trying to reach rescue boats.

WASHINGTON — The decision by Standard & Poor’s to strip France of its prized AAA credit rating and downgrade eight other European countries slammed a continent struggling with a debt crisis and an economic slowdown.

But beleaguered Europeans can take some comfort: It could have been worse.

Investors had plenty of time to brace for the bad news.

S&P put 15 countries, including Germany and France, on notice last month that they faced potential downgrades.

The advance notice means the downgrades likely won’t panic financial markets and drive up European governments’ borrowing costs much higher than they already are.

“People knew it was coming, and it was only one rating agency,” said Marc Chandler, head of global currency strategy at Brown Brothers Harriman. Moody’s and Fitch Ratings have yet to follow S&P. Stocks fell Friday as downgrade rumors reached the trading floors of Europe and the United States. But the declines were nothing like the wrenching swings of last summer and fall, when the debt crisis threw the markets into turmoil.

CAIRO — Egypt’s reform leader Mohamed ElBaradei withdrew from the presidential race Saturday, saying a fair election is impossible under the military’s grip nearly a year after Hosni Mubarak’s ouster.

Many fear that the ruling generals will push through a candidate of their own to preserve their power.

The Nobel Peace laureate’s pullout is a slap to the military and the credibility of its plans for Egypt’s transition. He was seen as the most pro-revolution of the candidates and the strongest advocate of deep change in a country long under autocratic rule. His participa-

tion, therefore, gave a degree of legitimacy to the militaryrun election process.

But in a statement Saturday, ElBaradei made clear that he saw no hope that the presidential election due by the end of June would bring a real end to the military’s rule, and he added a sharp criticism that the military has behaved as if Mubarak’s regime never fell.

“I had said from the start that my conscience will not allow me to run for president or any official position unless there is a real democratic framework, that upholds the essence of democracy and not only its form,” he said.

When the news came Friday, it wasn’t as harsh as it might have been. S&P had threatened last month to knock France’s credit rating down two notches. Instead, it settled for one, demoting France to AA+, just where it put the U.S. credit rating in an August downgrade.

S&P spared Europe’s mightiest economy the indignity of a downgrade, leaving Germany with its AAA rating intact.

Austria lost its AAA status, while Italy and Spain fell by two notches and Portugal’s debt was consigned to junk.

S&P also cut ratings on Malta, Cyprus, Slovakia and Slovenia.

Analysts note that S&P’s decision to downgrade longterm U.S. government debt in August did nothing to stop investors from continuing to buy U.S. Treasurys, though it did temporarily shake the U.S. stock market.

The downgrades in Europe are “going to create bad headlines for a day or two,” said Jacob Funk Kirkegaard, research fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. But “there’s no underlying new information ... This will be quickly forgotten.”

The Dow Jones industrial average declined 0.5 percent Friday, while stocks sank 0.1 percent in France and 0.6 percent in Germany.

A BROWN MARMORATED STINK BUG lands on a white blossom of spray carnation. Stink bugs are a major pest of fruit trees, vegetables, soybeans and ornamental plants. They will even feed on young trees by sucking the sap out through the bark. They get their name from their ability to release a pungent odor when they feel threatened.

‘Skunk of the insect world,’ stink bug a loathsome pest Although there are plenty of species of stink bugs already causing problems on Kansas crops and plants, brown marmorated ones are especially atrocious. Besides their propensity to feed on just about any kind of plant and cause major economic crop damage, brown marmorated stink bugs are pests to homeowners when they congregate and enter houses in the fall.

Brown marmorated stink bugs (BMSB), or Halyomorpha halys, are about 1/2 to 2/3 inch long and shaped like a shield. The back of this species of stink bug is mottled brown and white as the name implies, and they have alternating bands of brown and white on their antennae.

There are more than 200 species of stink bugs in North America, so if you think you find BMSB

it should be submitted to experts for proper identification. Specimens suspected to be BMSB can be submitted to K-State Research and Extension-Douglas County, 2110 Harper St., Lawrence, or your home county Extension office. Insects will then be submitted to entomologists at Kansas

State University for confirmation.

BMSB are already a major problem in the eastern United States and there were unverified reports of them in both Kansas and Missouri last summer. BMSB are native to Asia and were first confirmed in Pennsylvania in 1998.

The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture reports BMSB causes 25 percent crop loss in apples and stone fruit orchards, and up to 60 percent crop loss in fields and home vegetable gardens. BMSB is considered a major pest of fruit trees, vegetables, soybeans and ornamental plants.

They will even feed on young trees by sucking the sap out through the bark.

Damage to fruit and vegetable crops from BMSB is usually in

the form of pitting and scarring on the fruit or plant. BMSB has piercing-sucking mouthparts that are inserted into plant material to allow the insect to feed. On sweet corn and field corn, BMSB feeds on the tassel as well as the ear and interferes with pollination.

In some cases, damage does not appear until weeks after feeding occurs.

Stink bugs get their name from their ability to release a pungent odor when they feel threatened. I like to think of them as the skunks of the insect world, although their aroma is much weaker than that of a skunk.

In the fall, BMSB enter homes through cracks and crevices just like the multi-colored Asian Lady Beetle that has been problematic in our area in past years. BMSB do not damage homes or pose

human safety concerns, but the insects (and their odor) are a nuisance.

In February 2011, a West Virginia homeowner reported vacuuming 12,348 of the bugs from his home over a 45-day period.

The United States Department of Agriculture is working on various control strategies. Some success has been achieved with use of Kaolin clay and pyrethrums in organic production. Few insecticides are labeled for control of BMSB and even fewer are effective. If control of BMSB is needed, contact your local Extension office for current control recommendations.

Kovel’s Antiques: Market is hot for Art Deco bronzes

By Terry Kovel

What is “cold-painted bronze”? The term is used online to describe colorful bronze or spelter figures, but almost no one explains what it means. One online forum offers dozens of answers, all wrong, because the bloggers are contemporary artists familiar with a modern process called “cold patina.” The artist covers the metal with chemicals like cupric chloride and ammonium chloride to create a bluish green patina. The finish will wear off unless you cover it with a fixative and then maybe wax.

Cold-painting was a technique popular during the Art Deco period, which started in the 1920s. Bronze figures, most of them made in Vienna, were actually covered with enamel paint. The result is a very colorful figure or lamp.

Small Viennese animals and other figures, often under 2 inches tall, were especially popular and sell today for $100 to $200. Art Deco figurines of women, often dancing, were made of bronze or spelter (white metal) for the main part, ivory for the hands and faces. Again, the metal part was colored with a

special paint. Another group of cold-painted bronzes were scenes depicting Arabs in tents or on camels. Many had a small light bulb inside and were used as night-lights or lamps. The best known of these figures were made by “Namgreb,” the mark used by Franz Bergman (1861-1936), who reversed his name to make it sound more exotic.

Signed pieces sell for hundreds of dollars today. If you have a cold-painted bronze or spelter figure, be careful. The paint chips easily. Do not use metal polish or any chemical cleaner on them. Just dust or wipe with a damp cloth.

president-elect, the first time both parents of the presidentelect attended their son’s inauguration and the first time a poet (Robert Frost) participated in the ceremony. It was also the first time the parade was televised in color and the first time Army flamethrowers were used to clear snow from the path of the parade. Kennedy was the last president to wear a stovepipe hat to his inauguration. Some invitations include the words “Please present the enclosed card of admission,” but many more were issued to the public as souvenirs. Invitations to the 1961 inauguration have sold for $60 to $150 or more.

But the Phoenix Furniture Co. name continued to be used on its original lines until at least 1926. A set made before 1912 is “antique.” Pieces in various revival styles were manufactured by Phoenix or Irwin from about 1890 until the late 1910s.

A: Brass buckles marked “Tiffany” have been around since the 1960s, but Tiffany did not make them.

Star Trek buckles like yours show up for sale online for high prices and very low prices, but they usually sell for $5 or $10. Other common buckles supposedly made

by Tiffany include Wells Fargo buckles and Civil War uniform buckles. They

were made to look old but date from no earlier than the 1960s. The original “Star Trek” TV series ran from 1966 through 1969. It was followed by an animated TV series, four TV spin-offs and a TV prequel. The first “Star Trek” movie was released in 1979, and 10 others followed, the most recent in 2009. Production will begin on another sequel in 2012.

Value of your buckle: under $20.

Q: I inherited eight lifesize copper figures of insects, lobsters, shrimp, crabs and crayfish. They were all made in Japan years ago and have Japanese signatures on them.

Their arms, legs and other body parts move on hinges.

Can you tell me something about them and if they’re valuable?

A: You may have a group of valuable ornamental figurines called “jizai okimono.”

They are realistic metal figures of animals. Experts believe they were first made by armor craftsmen in Japan in the 18th century. They are still being made. Depending on condition, artistry and age, a single figure can sell for more than $1,000.

THIS COLD-PAINTED FIGURE depicts an Arab man with a pipe seated in front of a rug and a lit tower. The lamp is 13 inches high and 6 inches wide. It’s unmarked but still sold in October 2011 for $763 at Cowan’s Auctions in Cincinnati.

Tip: If your old ivorybeaded necklace is becoming yellow, do not clean it.

Yellowing is just a sign of age.

our lives was with various areas of technology. Matt was able to bring it all in and hone it into what it’s become.

“There’s a couple things that set us up for success and one was Matt. His experience in video game environments really carried over. The team kind of formed itself; it was kind of funny how all that happened. We were all friends and it just developed into its own thing.”

‘A good first step’ Technical director Michael Rowland, who coded the game, says he thinks the project was a smart one for the team of relative newcomers to attempt as a first game.

He says “Sticky Bees” was relatively simple from a coding standpoint.

“It seems like a good first step and a good first game to try because it, at first, seemed so easy to do. You just move one thing and you collide with another, so you just have to check all of the collisions.”

Rowland says he thinks the game should be a hit universally with those who pick it up and try the free trial of the game.

“It’s definitely got a cuteness factor to it,” he says, “and also it’s something that hasn’t really been done. The emphasis on the gameplay and how easy it can be to pick up. We’re shooting for everyone. When we did our beta (testing), we had gamers upon gamers — people that are about 50 and kids. I’ve seen a 2-year-old play the game.”

Cox says he always planned to get back to his other love designing games, and he always hoped he’d eventually have the chance.

“I’ve always had a handful of core gameplay ideas I thought would be fun sometime. I knew, once the church got going, that if I crossed paths with some people to code and put a small project together, I’d at least pass it by and then see if they’d be up for it.”

BOOKS WHERE THE GIRLS AREN’T Female friendships often mistreated by books, films, TV

By Julia Keller Chicago Tribune

CHICAGO — During an appearance in late December on CNN’s “Piers Morgan Tonight,” Jane Fonda was asked Deacon Godsey, which man from her past she pastor, would choose to accompany Lawrence “Tim Keller — ‘The Meaning her to a desert island.

Would she select a famous of Marriage.’ I’m helping with ex—spouse like Ted Turner some pre-marriage counselor Tom Hayden? Or would ing.” this be the moment when Fonda spilled the beans about some long—ago liaison with a heretofore unknown beau for whom she still pines?

To Morgan’s obvious disappointment, Fonda chose: None of the Above.

“My girlfriends,” she replied.

Rachel Bertsche can relate.

The 29—year—old writer discovered just how important female friendships are to her life when she moved to Chicago in 2007. She and her husRalph Park, band, Matt, knew a few people physician, when they relocated for his Lawrence “‘Confucius the Analects: The job with a law firm — she’d been an editor with Oprah Path of the Sage.’”

Winfrey’s magazine in New York; he’d finished law school in Philadelphia — but not enough to fill the dance card of an acceptable social life.

So Bertsche took to the streets. She hunted down girlfriends using newfangled social media as well as that 21st century version of a quilting bee: yoga class. Each week for a year, she made a date with a potential best pal, keeping her fingers crossed that she’d made a connection.

And she records her experiences in a funny, spirited new book, “MWF Seeking BFF: My Hank Avila, Yearlong Search for a New retired, Best Friend” (Ballantine).

Berryton “Friendship is such an im“‘Emma’ by Jane Austen and ‘The Satanic Verses’ (by portant aspect of our lives,” Bertsche said in a recent Salman Rushdie).” interview. “But we tend to think of friendship as a luxury — something we fit into our lives if we have time after career and family.”

Rarely is it discussed with much seriousness or intellectual rigor, Bertsche noted.

For one thing, the need for friends often goes unacknowledged because nobody wants to come across as a shunned loser. Moreover, the world, like CNN’s Morgan, is preoccupied with romantic Mary Ellen Fagan, retired, Lawrence “‘The Vision of Emma Blau.’ I took it from my daughter.”

love; the fact that Bertsche had that part covered — the husband with whom she shares her Lincoln Park home is “my most intimate companion and the love of my life,” she writes — means that people expected her to be satisfied. Friends — so the world believes — are the parsley, not the entree.

And yet Bertsche’s intriguing book reminds us of an unpleasant reality: Female friendships don’t count. They’re cute and funny and wacky and winsome — but in the arts, they’re not often portrayed with the gravitas routinely afforded male friendships. Men are shown bonding while getting shot at in war; women, while getting their nails done.

Men get “A Separate Peace.” Women get “The Baby—sitters Club.”

The former is a 1959 novel

by John Knowles, a grim morality play that unfolds against the backdrop of World War II and the deaths of millions of people. The latter is a series of young adult novels published between 1986 and 2000 whose keynote tragedy is the death of

a beloved collie.

Men get “Stand by Me,” the 1986 film in which young men confront the realities of death and the inviolable hierarchy of social class. Women get “Beaches,” the 1988 film in which young women confront the agonies of having one’s boyfriend stolen.

Men get “Of Mice and Men,” John Steinbeck’s powerful 1937 novel about a pair of men who share a tragic dream of freedom. Women get “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants,” the 2001 novel by Ann Brashares and 2005 film about women who share a pair of trousers.

Men get Cain and Abel.

Women get Kim and Kourtney Kardashian.

There are, of course, many complex and inspiring portraits of women’s friendships.

“Talk Before Sleep” (1994), a novel by Elizabeth Berg; “Fried Green Tomatoes” (1991), a film based on the 1987 novel “Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe” by Fannie Flagg; and “Testament of Friendship: The Story of Winifred Holtby” (1940), a memoir by Vera Brit-

IN THIS BOOK COVER IMAGE released by Ballantine Books, “MWF Seeking BFF: My Yearlong Search for a New Best Friend,” by Rachel Bertsche, is shown.

tain about a talented confidant who died tragically young, are estimable works that elevate female relationships.

And the 1991 film “Thelma & Louise” remains the quintessential pop—culture view of female friendship, even though — spoiler alert! — the ending makes one wish they’d confined their association to a yoga class every now and again.

To be sure, women’s friendships often are depicted in entertaining comedies — and there’s nothing wrong with that. Life can’t be a steady diet of “Antigone” and “Joan of Arc.” Watching the TV series “Sex and the City” or the 1997 film “Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion” can do for a bad mood what chicken soup can do for a bad cold. In neither case are the results scientifically verified, but we all know what works.

Thus it isn’t the case that women’s friendships are always trivialized or that men’s are always treated with dignity and respect. If that were so, no beer commercials would ever have befouled the airwaves. But when it comes to the average cultural take on the respective relationships — men with male friends, women with female — women usually look silly, and men serious. Men get “Dead Poets Society,” the 1989 film about liberating the soul through classic literature; women get “Divine Secrets of the Ya—Ya Sisterhood,” the 2002 film and 1996 novel by Rebecca Wells whose title alone undermines any pretense of profundity.

Bertsche knew that exploring female friendship in a book was fraught with peril. “When people asked me what I was writing about, I didn’t want to say,” she admitted, fearful lest they envision “hearts and BFF necklaces. There’s a lot more to it than that.”

As she discusses in her book, friends are vitally important to both sexes — but not for the same reasons.

That’s just one of the insights you can glean from Bertsche’s account of her 12—month quest to find a best buddy.

“Most of us are embarrassed to say, ‘I need friends!’

We think, ‘Do I really want to say that to the world?’”

Bertsche took the risk. And the result is a breezy, unexpectedly thought—provoking book that does to conventional wisdom about female friendships what Thelma and Louise — oblique spoiler alert! — did to that nasty trucker.

Fire up your e-readers, pay off your library fines, make nice with your neighborhood bookseller. However you obtain your reading material in 2012, there’s a crop of promising new books coming your way. Here are 10 titles for a happy 2012.

“The Obamas” by Jodi Kantor (Little, Brown): Jodi Kantor’s portrait of the first couple, which began as a cover story for The New York Times magazine in 2009, has been kept under tight wraps by the publisher. We haven’t seen a copy yet, but we’re dying to know what makes Barack and Michelle tick and why they seem so in synch after 19 years of marriage.

Keep your Bill and Hillary; this is the power duo that fascinates us. (Jan. 10) “Watergate” by Thomas Mallon (Pantheon): Mallon, whose previous historical novels have taken on the Lincoln assassination and Joe McCarthy’s anti-communist witch hunts, turns to the downfall of the Nixon administration in his latest. For anyone obsessed with this bizarre episode in American politics — a hotel break-in and a far-reaching administration cover-up — “Wa-

tergate” is must reading. (Feb. 21) “The Man Without a Face: The Unlikely Rise of Vladimir Putin” by Masha Gessen (Riverhead): A Moscowbased journalist examines the once and future Russian president, whose regime now faces widespread dissatisfaction and protests. Gessen charts the trajectory of a lowlevel KGB operative anointed by the power brokers; once in office, Putin managed to systematically halt democratic progress. (March 1) “The Song of Achilles” by Madeline Miller (Ecco): Last year saw Stephen Mitchell’s wonderful new translation of “The Iliad”; 2012 brings this debut novel, a retelling of Homer’s tale about the Trojan War, focused on the powerful bond between the Greek hero Achilles and his comrade Patroclus, the exiled prince. The classics never get old. (March 6) “Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal?” by Jeanette Winterson (Grove): Winterson’s autobiographical first novel, “Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit,” was published in 1985, an instant classic about an adopted girl’s upbringing as an English Pentecostal and the discovery of her lesbianism.

Now comes a memoir that

promises to revisit and expand on that life story. It begins: “When my mother was angry with me, which was often, she said, ‘The Devil led us to the wrong crib.’” We’re hooked.

(March 6) “Arcadia” by Lauren Groff (Voice): The second novel from the author of “The Monsters of Templeton” is set in a commune in rural western New York in the late 1960s; it observes the rise and fall of this utopian community and the coming of age of a young boy, Bit, who is born there.

(March 13) “The New Republic” by Lionel Shriver (Harper): Novelist Lionel Shriver has seen her profile raised with a new film adaptation of “We Need to Talk About Kevin” starring Tilda Swinton. This novel, written in 1998, never came out in the United States — a victim of Shriver’s poor sales figures (in those days) and later a post-9/11 squeamishness about terrorism.

Set in a fictional region of Portugal, “The New Republic” follows a journalist dispatched there to cover a local independence movement setting off bombs for their cause. (March 27) “The Passage of Power: The Years of Lyndon Johnson” by Robert A. Caro (Al-

fred A. Knopf): The Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer (and former Newsday reporter) delivers Volume 4 in his massive life of the 36th president. This latest installment follows LBJ through his unhappy vice presidency, tells the story of the Kennedy assassination from Johnson’s perspective and examines the early triumphs of his presidency. (May 1) “Are You My Mother?” by Alison Bechdel (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt): Bechdel blew everyone away with her cartoon-style memoir “Fun Home” in 2006; it told the story of the author’s closeted gay father who committed suicide. Now, Bechdel is back with a book about her mom, a frustrated actress and music lover who stopped touching and kissing Alison when she was 7. If it’s anything like “Fun Home,” it should be outstanding. (May 1) “In One Person” by John Irving (Simon & Schuster): Irving’s 13th novel is the story of a bisexual man named Billy, whose life and loves make him a societal outcast.

Irving’s last book didn’t make much of an impression, but this promises a return to the sexual themes and unconventional characters that are vintage Irving. (May 8)

How do you answer questions from your congregation about your political beliefs?

Religious values affect political action The Rev. Jill Jarvis, Unitarian Fellowship of Lawrence, 1263 North 1100 Road: Slavery was the hot political issue in mid-19th century America. People of faith, including Unitarians, left behind comfortable lives in New England to settle in Lawrence, determined to bring an end to slavery.

One hundred years later, religious people from all over the country, including Unitarians, responded to the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s call to come to Selma to march for voting rights. Today we’re still witnessing and advocating for human rights. Around the country many of us are supporting the Occupy movement, and our ministers are acting as on-site chaplains.

How could our religious values not inform our political beliefs and actions? It’s

through the political system that we the people determine how our system shapes our common life. I’m called as a Unitarian minister to speak truth to power; to promote the inherent worth and dignity of all people (our first principle); and to speak out for justice, equity Jarvis and compassion in human relations (our second principle). In our long tradition of the free pulpit, I speak what I believe to be true about social (not partisan) issues. And in our tradition of the free pew, each member is responsible to consider, accept or reject that interpretation in light of his/her own experience.

As we celebrate Martin

Luther King Jr., Sunday our morning service will honor youth involvement in both the civil rights movement and the current struggle for human rights for immigrants.

Sunday evening, we’ll host a community celebration and concert to celebrate the legacy and continue the journey (see our website for more information uufl.net) We can expect this to be, yet again, a contentious election year. Many members of our congregation will continue to be actively involved with issues of war, economic justice, human rights and the environment. If religion doesn’t lead us to create a world of freedom, justice, and love in this life, then the world would be better off without it.

Pastor’s job is to preach Christ, not politics The Rev. Josh Longbottom, associate pastor, Plymouth Congregational Church, 925 Vt.: In the church I teach about the life of Christ, get people in touch with the spirit and help them to sharpen their sense of the sacred. Each of those things has political implications, but they are, in and of themselves, not partisan teachings.

On the street, I do what I feel called to do as a citizen.

Often, that comes off as radical. And, you bet, my politics are rooted in my understanding of Christ.

Jesus didn’t so much invent a new way to pray as much as Jesus invited people into an egalitarian community. In a way, his movement’s uniqueness was more political than prayerful.

The optimist in me says politicians are best suited to further the common causes of freedom and equality with regard to the particulars of policy making. We should all exLongbottom pect a natural amount of disagreement to arise about how best to achieve those goals.

If a congregation member was to ask me directly about a candidate or a policy, I would probably be frank with them and leave very little gray between my black and white. And, in all likelihood, my answer would be steeped in scripture.

However, I don’t tend to preach about policies.

Pastors are trained as Biblical interpreters, public speakers and care-givers.

Everyone in this town has access to higher quality political insight than what they are going to get from me. One the other hand, I do know my scriptures.

The radio, newspapers, television and the Internet are so full of expert consideration of candidates and policies that there are plenty of forums for partisan argumentation. Only in the church do we really have an appropriate space for teaching the life of Christ. So come Sunday morning, I stick to what we do best.

“No enchiladas on Cinco de Mayo? No carrot cake on your birthday?”

“It won’t be that bad,” I insisted.

He snarfed another onion ring, wiped the beer batter flakes off his beard and took my hands.

“OK. Then I’m all in with you,” he said.

“You’ll go off wheat too?” I asked incredulously.

“That’s fantastic! Because you’ve got a little visceral situation going on yourself...”

“Hell no,” he laughed. “But I promise not to tempt you.

Like with this last onion ring, for instance.”

(Was I starting to drool?

I distinctly detected salivation.)

“And I won’t complain when you make dinner and there’s no penne or crescent rolls or stuffing on the plate,” my spouse added.

“You’re a prince of a guy.”

We finished our meals without more ado and climbed into the car.

“So, I guess the cupcake place is out of the question,” he said.

(Did he say cupcake?

How bad would one minicarrot with orange frosting be?)

I sighed deeply. A lump formed in my throat.

“No, but swing by the liquor store. I’ve always wanted to try single malt.”

Murder CONTINUED FROM PAGE 12C

murders, technical aspects, such as the sound of the gun, become important.

“It has to be loud enough to sound authentic but not too loud to startle your audience,” Weaver says.

The “Bloody Murder” cast includes many faces familiar to Lawrence’s theater scene, including Dickinson, who starred in Theatre Lawrence’s “Chicago” last summer. In “Bloody Murder,” Dickinson plays Emma Reese, a doe-eyed starlet who is tied to a chair for most of the second act.

“From an actor’s perspective it’s great because there is less blocking to memorize,” Dickinson says. “On the other hand, you have to think

illumination or seek out a spot with naturally even lighting like soft shade.

2. Glossy prints and photos behind glass will reflect light off their surface, so you will have to experiment with positioning of the print to avoid glare. If possible take prints out of glass frames. The twolight approach can also help eliminate glare. Placing the light sources closer and to the side or a 45-degree angle of a print can further reduce reflections.

3. Set your camera to the highest quality resolution and the lowest ISO and turn off the flash.

4. Zoom your lens to fill the entire camera frame with the print to be photographed.

about what you can be doing to remain pertinent. You don’t want to become a piece of the scenery.”

Dickinson has had some fun with her role as Emma primarily because she’s working with such a great cast.

“Getting to spend time with fun, gracious and talented people is the best part of this role,” Dickinson says.

Dickinson plays two parts and dies at least once. Finding ways to dramatize a character’s death is fun, Dickinson says.

“Making death funny entails making it over-the-top in order to emphasize the humor and minimize the seriousness of the situation,” Dickinson says.

To die in a comical way, Dickinson recommends noises, making the death linger beyond a reasonable length and giving extended “death rattles.”

If it is a really small print, you may need to use your camera’s macro mode, but don’t get so close that you block your light source.

5. Use a tripod to ensure a steady shot.

This technique is simple yet can provide decent results.

If you have neither a flatbed scanner or a point-and-shoot camera, use your smartphone camera in a pinch.

Theatre Lawrence play parodies Agatha Christie stories, characters

By Chansi Long Special to the Journal-World

Shawn Trimble stalks across Theatre Lawrence’s stage clutching a plastic pistol. He points it clumsily at Amber Dickinson and clicks the trigger.

“That’s why actors like murder mysteries,” director Doug Weaver says. “They get to play with guns.”

Weaver is directing Theatre Lawrence’s next production, “Bloody Murder,” which debuts 7:30 p.m. Jan. 20 at Theatre Lawrence, 1501 N.H. “Bloody Murder” is essentially a parody of every story ever written by Agatha Christie.

“This is a true take off on all of the Agatha Christie stories,”

Weaver says. “It has every silly, cliche character she ever had — and she had lots.”

All of the principle players gather for a party — the countess, the major, the clumsy inspector, the degenerate nephew and the drunken leading man, to name a few.

Trimble will be playing Devon Tremaine, the drunken actor.

“I’m playing an actor at the end of a career, which he has self-sabotaged by drinking inordinate amounts of bourbon and whiskey,” Trimble says.

Trimble says the role’s fluidity make it fun.

“I could trip on stage and blame it on the character,” he says.

Three-fourths of “Bloody Murder” runs like an Agatha

“

The twist in this production isn’t the reveal of who the killer is.”

— Doug Weaver, director of “Bloody Murder” Christie play: All of the characters wait at an English country estate where they die one by one until the murderer is revealed. But near the end of “Bloody Murder,” things teeter in a different direction. The play transforms into a piece of metafiction, where the characters become intensely self-reflective and aware.

“The twist in this production isn’t the reveal of who the killer

is,” Weaver says. But he’s careful not to divulge too much to not spoil the end for potential viewers. What Weaver does say is that the playwright, Ed Sala, is probably deeply familiar with absurdest theater and works by writers like Samuel Beckett.

Weaver has directed more than 80 productions. And he says rehearsals for each play are different. For instance, “Bloody Murder” requires a particular emphasis on timing and movement and less focus on character development.

“There are a few key moments that have to be executed perfectly or the comedy will fall flat,” Weaver says. In addition, because the play includes many

Camera, scanner can be used to digitize old photos

By Mike Yoder myoder@ljworld.com

Last week I described using a film scanner or a lab service to convert 35 mm slides and negatives into digital files.

Once scanned and on your computer, the files can be shared easily with others or moved to other media formats. If you have a collection of photographic prints but no original negatives, you have two similar options: You can use a flatbed scanner or you can re-photograph the documents with a digital camera.

Flatbed scanners can be stand-alone units, similar to film scanners, or can be an included feature in many of to-

day’s multifunction printers.

These all-in-one devices have the ability to print, scan, copy and sometimes fax. Some models may even incorporate a drawer or tray to accommodate negatives and slides for scanning, offering the best of both worlds for converting prints and negatives. For most photo hobbyists, getting an all-in-one printer/scanner could be a great choice.

Because most decks or scan surfaces on these devices are standard letter size (A4), you could easily scan material up to 8 inches by 10 inches.

To research models or learn more about scanning, go to printscan.about.com.

If you don’t like the idea of

messing with another home/ office machine, the simplest option is to use your pointand-shoot digital camera as your scanning device. Most of today’s point-and-shoot cameras will have a large enough megapixel capture to acquire a digital file capable of at least an 8-inch-by-10inch print and certainly any other computer/Web use you may have. Here are some tips on how to get the best results photographing photo prints with a digital camera: 1. Place the print in an evenly lit area. To provide more light, place the print between two lamps of equal Please see LENS, page 11C
