SCHOOLS

Consolidation options have pros, cons

ASSISTANCE DOG

———

Working group has until mid-February to make recommendation

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

In a kind of public school version of the television show “Survivor,” a group of more than 30 parents and teachers have been meeting for the past five months to determine which schools would be voted off the Lawrence school district’s island.

The Central and East Lawrence Elementary School Consolidation Working Group has until mid-February to make a recommendation. In this version of the game, the “tribal council” has been asked to reduce a list of six elementary schools — Cordley, Hillcrest, Kennedy, New York, Pinckney and Sunset Hill — down to either three or four within two years.

Several options have been on the table for more than a month. At a meeting last week, the group emotionally debated the pros and cons of several of the proposals that will be further analyzed by the district’s demographic consultants, RSP & Associates. The consolidation group will meet again at 7 p.m. Jan. 30 at district headquarters, 110 McDonald Drive.

Here are some of the pros and cons that group members have given for each option:

Talented canines trained in Kansas provide gift of independence for many

Washington, population 1,100, is one of the small Kansas towns not far from the Nebraska border along Kansas Highway 36, in the north-central part of the state.

As you shoot through town, one block from the Marcon Pie Factory, and before you get to Washington’s one restaurant, you’ll see a series of nondescript buildings right off the main road.

The few windows and the gray vinyl siding give visitors little clues as to what goes on inside the complex.

The inhabitants are rambunctious but well-trained, and their barking can’t be heard from outside.

Newcomers are greeted by Morris, a tubby feline tour guide who will accompany visitors to the kennels, where the sight of a dog’s best friend causes a ruckus among the dozens of golden retrievers and black and yellow Labradors.

All of Lawrence could be placed into 2nd U.S. House District

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — A plan to place Lawrence in one U.S. House district — the 2nd — is forming in the Legislature.

“Basically, it corrects a wrong decision made 10 years ago,” said Senate Democratic Leader Anthony Hensley of Topeka.

The Senate redistricting committee is scheduled to meet Monday and may vote on a proposed congressional district map that would consolidate Lawrence into the 2nd U.S. District, which is represented by U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins, R-Topeka.

Currently, east Lawrence is in the 3rd Congressional District, which is represented by U.S. Rep. Kevin Yoder, R-Overland Park, and west Lawrence is in the 2nd.

Hensley said the Legislature’s LEGISLATURE splitting of Lawrence between the 2nd and 3rd districts in 2002 was an injustice.

House Democratic Leader Paul Davis of Lawrence said, “Lawrence probably needs to go into the 2nd District.” He said that will preserve the 3rd District as a Kansas City-metro district.

Davis said that many in Lawrence were unhappy when the city was split 10 years ago but that it hasn’t turned out as bad as people thought it would.

In fact, he said, it has probably benefitted Lawrence in some ways to have two representatives.

Dogs

NANCY GIOSSI PLAYS WITH MCLAREN, a 2-yearold golden retriever who will eventually become an assistance dog, at the Kansas University Department of Continuing Education.

Giossi has been a “puppy raiser” for nearly a decade for KSDS, and she’ll soon be sending McLaren back to the training center for the final portions of his training.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

The dogs, over a span of more than two years, have been trained to protect, assist and guide a human companion through the world, away from cars, up escalators, to the kitchen and out of bed.

After their intensive training is complete, the dogs will be sent all over the country, giving independence back to the visually impaired and others with disabilities, all free of charge.

Welcome to the headquarters of KSDS.

Puppy raisers Lawrence resident Nancy Giossi’s assistance-dog-intraining, McLaren, a 22-monthold golden retriever, accompanies Giossi to work during the week at the Kansas University Department of Continuing Education.

Giossi, who’s been a KSDS puppy raiser for nearly a decade, has a personal story of how she first became involved with the agency. One of Giossi’s childhood friends had to use a wheelchair after an accident. Knowing a service dog would help her friend, Giossi signed up, raising the very dog her friend would be assigned to.

Giossi’s been a puppy raiser ever since, and McLaren is her fourth training dog.

During the day, McLaren faithfully sits under Giossi’s desk wearing his work clothes, a KSDS-embroidered cape that lets McLaren know he’s supposed to be on his best behavior.

“When he wears his cape, he’s nice and calm,” Giossi said. “When the cape comes off, he’s a wild man.”

McLaren has become a workplace favorite for employees. With his teeth, McLaren carries papers between offices and shuttles the watering can around the building.

In addition to such tricks, Giossi trains McLaren on 40 or so other commands.

In two months, Giossi will send McLaren back to KSDS, where he’ll be screened and receive his final training.

While McLaren seems like the perfect dog, Giossi tells stories of the behind-thescenes work of a puppy raiser, when McLaren chews up cellphones or acts up.

“The time commitment is huge,” Giossi said. “Twentyfour hours a day, 365 days a year.”

But it comes with the territory, and Giossi said it’s impossible not to get emotional as McLaren’s return date approaches.

“It’s very hard,” Giossi said. “We cry a lot” when it’s time to say goodbye.

“But we know that they’re going on to bigger and better things,” she said. “They’re going to give somebody independence.”

A person’s needs If there’s a doggy heaven, it’d probably look something like the KSDS headquarters.

In the main building, the golden retrievers and Labradors frolic about, learning commands, playing games and

getting kisses from the organization’s dedicated staff.

But it’s not all fun and games, said Larry Stigge, executive director. The dogs are working and the trainers equally so.

The trainers “have to have so much patience,” Stigge said.

The work is repetitive, as the trainers teach the dogs to sit, stand, climb on the grooming table and heel.

Over and over again.

The dogs are all in different stages of training and are being trained for different tasks.

The two dozen dogs are rotated in shifts throughout the day for an hour or so of training per day.

Some of the dogs will be guide dogs for the visually impaired, others will be service dogs assisting those with disabilities, and others will become social dogs, used in schools and hospitals for therapeutic purposes.

More than 100 assistance dogs who have been trained at KSDS are scattered in 32 states, Stigge said. Since 1990, the organization has trained more than 400 dogs.

When the dogs come back to KSDS from the puppy raisers, the staff evaluates the dogs to see which type of assistance dog will be the best fit. Once the dogs are trained, the people who will receive them come to KSDS for more specific training on each person’s needs. Those receiving an assistance dog stay in on-site dormitories for up to three weeks.

Debbie Tegethoff, a guide dog trainer for the past 13 years, was working with a black Labrador named Cadillac on a recent day. Cadillac is nearing the end of his training and listens obediently to Tegethoff as she puts his

guide harness on and directs him to the door for a walk.

Braving the brisk winter weather and high winds, Cadillac hugs the curbs on the street, directing Tegethoff around obstacles, such as parked cars and potholes. In addition to acting as the eyes of a visually impaired person, Cadillac is trained to give his life, if need be, by blocking any threat from his owner.

Through the years, Tegethoff has worked with hundreds of dogs and says the best part is seeing the quick connections and deep impact the dogs make on their owners and new best friends.

“Seeing the independence that these dogs give to people,” she said. “It’s amazing.”

While Tegethoff works with the more experienced Cadillac, fellow trainer Ann Metz wrestles around with Indigo, a newer yellow Labrador who will someday be a service dog.

Though he looks a little unwieldy today, once he’s matched with his owner, Metz said, he’ll be able to open doors, help put on and take off clothes, retrieve food from the refrigerator and pick up just about any object, even something as small as a paperclip.

“Just depends on what a person’s needs are,” Metz said of a service dog’s abilities.

Out in the world Step into the cafeteria on the fifth floor of the Landon State Office Building in Topeka, and as you make your way to the snack bar, you’ll pass Kircaldy, a 3-year-old golden retriever.

During his eight-hour workday, Kircaldy naps on a doggy bed in an alcove below a sign asking visitors not to pet or feed him. All day, he waits patiently, occasionally popping his head up.

Pearson Collision Repair 749-4455

Funeral Home and Crematory.

Mr. Fleer died Friday January 20th, 2012 at Ottawa Retirement Village.

Lethargy quickly turns to enthusiasm the minute Kircaldy’s owner, Bill Dain, steps out from behind the kitchen.

“The second I’m ready to go, he’s ready to go,” said Dain, the visually impaired owner and operator of the cafeteria.

For 15 years, Dain’s been guided through the world by a dog like Kircaldy. First, there was Leggo and, more recently, Bronco.

Dain has owned and managed the cafeteria, as well as one other a few blocks away, for 11 years.

Glaucoma and macular degeneration slowly robbed Dain of most of his vision, and, before the guide dogs supplied by KSDS, Dain used a cane, but his mobility was limited. It was much more difficult to come and go as he pleased, and managing two cafeterias wouldn’t have been possible.

Dain, like all of those who receive guide dogs from KSDS, spent a week or so in Washington getting acquainted with Kircaldy. Tegethoff, the KSDS trainer, also traveled to Topeka for a couple of weeks, helping Dain train Kircaldy in navigating a daily routine.

The duo wake at 3 a.m. every day during the week and are dropped off in Topeka by Dain’s wife. By 5 a.m., Kircaldy has helped Dain get to the cafeteria for the daily shift. Throughout the work day, Kircaldy helps Dain back and forth between the two work sites. Some days after work, they shop, and Kircaldy has learned to find very specific items at the grocery store, such as bananas and even canned enchilada sauce.

And when his work day is done, Kircaldy takes his guide dog harness off and “he’s a full-blooded dog,” Dain said, running around and lounging at their home.

“I got my independence back,” said Dain of the gift of a guide dog. “The feeling of being free. It’s indescribable.”

BRIEFLY State officials working to curb spread of measles GARDEN CITY — Finney County health officials are trying to stem the spread of measles.

The Garden City Telegram reported that four cases of the highly contagious virus have been reported.

Health officials are urging people to stay home if they are showing symptoms. They say people also need to stay at home if they aren’t immunized and have been exposed to someone who is sick. The quarantine period should last three weeks.

The initial symptoms of measles include fever, runny nose and cough. Three to five days after the initial illness, a blotchy rash occurs beginning at the hairline, moving to the face and upper neck, and then down the body.

Health officials say people who are exposed should call their doctor instead of going to the doctor’s office.

Judge sets hearing for convicted doctor WICHITA — A federal judge agreed Friday to hear arguments from a Kansas doctor serving a twoyear prison term for prescribing a painkiller to a woman he never met.

In a rare move, U.S. District Judge Monti Belot granted the handwritten request from Lawrence Simons, of Goddard, for an evidentiary hearing. The imprisoned doctor now contends he is innocent and blames his trial attorney for convincing him to plead guilty in 2010 to unlawfully prescribing narcotics.

He argued that the prescriptions he issued were refills given to patients claiming impending withdrawal and patient abandonment.

He wrote that he received no profit or favors in exchange for them.

Simons also claimed his trial attorney, E. Jay Greeno, assured him he would receive probation rather than a prison term and did not advise him of the potential consequences of his guilty plea on his medical license and his ability to get a license again to prescribe controlled substances.

Students model future cities around clean energy

By Aaron Couch acouch@ljworld.com

ONLINE: See the video at LJWorld.com

The cities of the future will be models of efficiency and good living. They will run on clean energy and have staggeringly beautiful gardens. They will also have names like Snoopy City and Pinkville.

At least, that’s the vision a few hundred bright middle school students laid out Saturday, as they competed in the Great Plains Region Future City Competition. Forty-six teams from 28 regional schools brought model cities to the Kansas Union to show off their engineering knowhow and explain why their city should be chosen as the best model for future cities.

“Our houses are tall so the wind will get to the turbines,” said Satori Good, pointing to a turbine atop a house in her team’s model.

SOUND OFF

Q:

About two years ago, there was a robbery at Great Harvest Bread Co., 807 Vt., through the back door. Was anyone ever arrested?

A:

According to Lawrence Police Department and the Douglas County District Attorney’s Office, no one has been arrested in connection with the robbery. It was reported about 7 p.m. Jan. 18, 2010, after a suspect armed with a silver revolver entered the rear door of the business, demanded cash and took an undetermined amount of money before fleeing.

Police at the time described the suspect as a black man approximately 25 to 30 years old. He was medium build and height, and wearing a black jacket and blue pants during the robbery.

The hot new attraction at Saturday’s 16th annual Kaw Valley Eagles Day: a 7-month-old Virginia opossum named Ginnie.

Prairie Park Nature Center naturalist Jen Rader showed off Ginnie to hundreds of families at the event at Free State High School, 4700 Overland Drive.

The marsupial was surprisingly cuddly.

“She was a friendly one,” said Rader, telling visitors about Ginnie’s human-like thumbs and pouch for carrying babies. Ginnie, who is typically on display at the Nature Center, stayed pretty close to Rader, snuggling on her shoulder. The opossum was rescued after her mother was run over by a car. Ginnie and seven other siblings were found, remarkably, safe and sound in their mom’s pouch.

Ginnie was one of numerous attractions at the event, including nature-based arts and crafts, booths featuring environmentally friendly products, and a host of educational activities for kids.

Lawrence resident Jill Ice brought her daughter, 10-year-old Emily, and they browsed the activities. Ice said it seemed like the perfect “cold-weather” activity.

Emily was busy dissecting the excrement of an owl and was surprised to find a wide variety of rodent bones hidden in the waste.

Jett Smith, 8, came all the way from Nortonville with his mom, Danielle, and little sister Evelyn, 5. Jett said it was the fifth year he’s been to the Eagles Day. As he waited for a presentation on eagles, Jett talked about all the exhibits he checked out Saturday.

“I’m an eagle fan,” Jett said.

The focus of the competition was alternative energy, but judges also grilled the students on waste disposal and transportation for their cities.

A team of West Middle School eighth-graders tackled the energy problem by designing a city powered by the planet’s heat, the way it’s done in Iceland.

“I enjoyed working on new designs and making them environmentally friendly,” Sydney Gard said. “Our city is powered by geothermal energy.”

have more than paid for the iPad itself by this semester, Apprill said.

He said he’d prefer a system like the nursing school’s and has found a number of advantages for e-textbooks.

He said he likes being able to search the entire text for a word or phrase and not being limited to what’s been categorized in the index.

“I’d much rather use etextbooks,” he said. “They’re very user-friendly.”

two extra or updated versions of books in the fourth year, Godfrey estimated the e-textbooks would account for 95 percent of the textbooks the students needed for their two years of nursing school.

The cost was also a little shocking up front, but with the added savings later, she said she’s been generally pleased with the results so far.

After an initial download, Internet access is no longer necessary to retrieve the books. The students own the books after purchasing them.

Mildfelt said she also enjoys some of the features available on e-textbooks, including one that lets the instructor highlight text that is then seen by all the students.

Godfrey said some instructors will use this feature to highlight material students don’t need to read, for example.

Also, Mildfelt said she can make it so she can view the highlighted material from her friends, as well as highlight text herself.

While getting used to something new is always a challenge, Mildfelt said she’d recommend the e-textbooks to others. And Godfrey said the school plans to keep the program going for the next semester.

On the Lawrence campus, some students have tried out e-textbooks, too. Bob Apprill, a 28-year-old sophomore in KU’s School of Engineering, bought an iPad with the intention of using it to buy cheaper e-textbooks for the fall semester.

Though he wanted to buy the books, most of the books he needed came with a limited license, so the cost has been almost like renting the books so far, or similar to buying used and selling it back, he said.

But, still, the cost savings over buying books new will power its city.

“We also have solar panels that power small buildings,” Kaitlyn Barkley said.

The competition was sponsored by the American Society of Civil Engineers. The Kansas University School of Engineering hosted the event. The winning team, a group from Leawood Middle School who called their city Sassafrassia, will be going to Washington, D.C., to present their model at a national competition. These students were: Miles Green, Katie Hull, Roxanna Hamidpour, Joey Holliday, Julia Lytle, Sean McCray, Hannah Motley, Deven Pandya, Anna Song, Robert Tenny and Anja TonkovicCapin. The group from West Middle School won second place with Punarjanma. This group was: Maame Britwum, Trenna Soderling, Grace Eason, Cadence Learned and Bennett Haase-Divine. Third place went to Southwest Middle School with Palekaiko. This group was: Elliott Abromeit, Mikey Corbett, Matt Roe, Joaquin DoradoMariscal, Noah Christilles and Ethan Kallenberger.

SOUTH CAROLINA PRIMARY

Gingrich storms to victory, scrambling GOP race

By David Espo and Thomas Beaumont Associated Press

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich stormed to an upset victory in the South Carolina primary Saturday night, dealing a sharp setback to former front-runner Mitt Romney and abruptly scrambling the race for the Republican presidential nomination.

In victory, Gingrich praised his Republican rivals and attacked President Barack Obama and “elites in New York and Washington.”

Obama is “the most effective food stamp president in history,” he said. “I would like to be the best paycheck president in American history.” Those declarations and his attack on the “elite news media” reprised two of his more memorable lines from a pair of debates that helped fuel his victory.

Exit polls showed he led among voters who said their top priority was picking a candidate who could beat Obama — a group that had preferred Romney in earlier contests in Iowa and New Hampshire.

Romney, the national front-runner until now, was unbowed. He vowed to contest for every vote “in every state,” an acknowledgement that the race would likely be a long one. He also unleashed a double-barreled attack on Obama and Gingrich.

REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE AND FORMER HOUSE SPEAKER NEWT GINGRICH takes part in a TV interview during a campaign event in Spartanburg, S.C., on Saturday. Gingrich won the South Carolina primary with 41 percent of the vote in returns from 95 percent of the precincts.

Referring to Gingrich’s criticism of his business experience, Romney said, “When my opponents attack success and free enterprise, they’re not only attacking me, they’re attacking every person who dreams of a better future. He’s attacking you,” he told supporters, the closest he came to mentioning the primary winner’s name.

Returns from 95 percent of the state’s precincts showed Gingrich with 41 percent of the vote to 27 percent for Romney. Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum was winning 17 percent, Texas Rep. Ron Paul 13 percent.

As the first Southern primary, South Carolina has

been a proving ground for Republican presidential hopefuls in recent years.

Since Ronald Reagan in 1980, every Republican contender who won the primary has gone on to capture the party’s nomination.

Nearly 600,000 voters turned out, according to an AP estimate. That eclipses the previous record turnout for the primary in 2000, when George W. Bush defeated John McCain Based on the vote total, Gingrich won at least 15 of the 25 Republican National Convention delegates at stake and none of the other contenders was yet assured of any.

But political momentum

District, which is in need of population. Moving Manhattan and Fort Riley means more people must be shifted into the 2nd.

Every 10 years, the Legislature redraws district lines to even out population shifts and make the districts as equal in population as possible.

The congressional districts in Kansas should be as close

to 713,280 in population as possible, but currently: ! The 1st District is 57,970 people under the ideal size. ! The 2nd is 3,233 under the ideal size. ! The 3rd has 54,289 more people than the ideal size. ! The 4th has 6,912 more than is ideal.

a new school. By eliminating New York, the city would lose a school that is connected to downtown. But expanding New York could also be difficult because it has one of the smallest school sites in the district.

As for expanding Cordley, the nearly 100-year-old school has had several major additions and is in need of upgrades to become ADA compliant. Regardless of whether the school expands at New York or Cordley, students from the school that closes would have trouble walking to the one that expands.

Cons: Combined Sunset Hill and Hillcrest would have a population of more than 600, which is far more than the goal to keep schools in the 300-to-500 range. Right now, 214 of those students are in the ESL program.

A major question revolving around closing Hillcrest is what would happen to the ESL program.

Some fear that relocating the program in its entirety would uproot existing teachers at the school that houses the program. Others have proposed that ESL students be spread out among cluster sites or return to the schools where they reside.

was the real prize with the race to pick an opponent to Obama still in its early stages.

Already, Romney and a group that supports him were on the air in Florida with a significant television ad campaign, more than $7 million combined to date.

Gingrich readily conceded that he trails in money, and even before appearing for his victory speech he tweeted supporters thanking them and appealing for a flood of donations for the Jan 31. primary. “Help me deliver the knockout punch in Florida.

Join our Moneybomb and donate now,” said his tweet.

Aides to the former Massachusetts governor had once dared hope that Florida would seal his nomination — if South Carolina didn’t first — but that strategy appeared to vanish along with the once-formidable lead he held in pre-primary polls.

Health care case will be a landmark

EDITORIALS

Tax shift An income tax plan that puts a greater burden on low-income Kansans needs some more work.

G

ov. Sam Brownback has set a bold agenda for the current legislative session including a major overhaul of the state’s income tax system.

While the plan he has put on the table may have some merit, the disproportionate burden it places on low-income Kansans is raising questions that demand the close attention of state legislators.

The governor’s plan is good news for most higher-income taxpayers and especially for small business owners, but it holds considerable bad news for Kansans at the low end of the income spectrum. Figures compiled by the Kansas Department of Revenue estimate that the amount of income tax paid by Kansas residents overall would decrease by about 12 percent under Brownback’s plan. However, the way that saving is distributed is cause for concern.

The Revenue Department figures show that the 564,328 Kansas tax filers with adjusted gross incomes of $25,000 or less received a total refund of $1.7 million in the 2009 tax year. Under the Brownback plan, that same group would owe a total of $86.5 million, an average of $156 per filer. At the same time, the 21,158 Kansans with adjusted gross incomes of $250,000 or more would pay an average of $5,239 per person less under the Brownback plan.

The governor’s plan also eliminates a number of tax deductions that would have a significant impact on low-income taxpayers. Key among those is getting rid of the Earned Income Tax Credit, which benefits about 255,000 Kansans, generally low-income workers, by helping them keep more of what they earn. The plan does away with deductions for mortgage interest and child care expenses, which will have a significant impact on Kansas families with low or moderate incomes. The governor also is proposing that the state sales tax, which was scheduled to drop to 5.7 percent in 2013, be maintained at its current 6.3 percent. Sales tax is a particularly regressive tax, especially when it is applied to the sale of groceries, as it is in Kansas.

Also eliminated in the governor’s plan is the income tax deduction for charitable contributions, which likely would suppress donations to the very nonprofit organizations that could provide a helping hand to low-income Kansans.

However, Revenue Secretary Nick Jordan and economist Arthur Laffer, who acted as a consultant on the Brownback tax plan, told legislators last week that money saved by eliminating tax deductions would be plowed back into social service programs to help needy families.

Making low-income people pay more taxes so that more money is available to fund programs for needy Kansans is a questionable strategy. Traditional conservatives would say that people know better than the government how to spend their money and could do so without adding the administrative costs of a government program to redistribute the funds to the “needy.” Is that the best justification the Brownback administration can offer for a plan that places additional tax burdens on low-income Kansans?

Laffer, who is considered the father of supply-side economics, maintains that the tax plan will pay off in the long run for lowincome Kansans because it will lure more business to the state and create jobs. That certainly is a desirable goal, but Laffer’s economic theory is controversial and, some economists say, unsound.

Given today’s economic climate, the governor and state legislators face a serious challenge in how to update and improve the state’s income tax laws for the benefit of all Kansans and the state. It’s not an easy task, but most states are facing a similar challenge. Kansas lawmakers must give their best effort to devising a state tax plan that is fair and balanced for Kansas taxpayers. It’s time for a genuine nonpartisan study of the state’s income tax laws, not finger-pointing and political posturing.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court can pack large portents in small details. When in late March it considers the constitutionality of Obamacare, there will be five and a half hours of oral argument — the most in almost half a century. This is because the individual mandate (Does Congress’ power to regulate interstate commerce extend to punishing the inactivity of not buying insurance?) is just one of the law’s constitutionally dubious features.

An hour of argument will be devoted to whether Obamacare’s enormous expansion of Medicaid is so coercive of states that it is incompatible with federalism — the Constitution’s architecture of dual sovereignty.

The court’s previous rulings about compulsion point toward disallowing this expansion.

Spending on Medicaid, a theoretically cooperative federalstate program, is approximately 40 percent of all federal funds given to states and 7 percent of all federal spending. Enacted in 1965 as a program for the poor, it has exploded. The increase in its costs by the end of this decade is expected to be $434 billion. Its cost is projected to rise 7.9 percent a year — faster even than Medicare’s (6.9 percent).

Under Obamacare, however, the cooperative nature of Medicaid has been radically revised in a way no states could have anticipated before becoming inextricably entangled with it.

Obamacare requires states to cover all persons with incomes

The Obamacare issues of Medicaid coercion and the individual mandate are twins. They confront the court with the same challenge, that of enunciating judicially enforceable limiting principles.”

up to, effectively, 138 percent of the poverty level. The federal government will pay all increased costs (other than administrative costs) until 2016; by 2020 states will pay 10 percent of the expansion. But even with the federal government paying most of the costs, in many states their portion of Medicaid costs is the largest item in their budgets, even exceeding education.

And Obamacare, which forbids states to make more restrictive the eligibility criteria it adopted before this new burden, would deny all Medicaid funds to noncompliant states.

This would cost most states billions of dollars. For example,

26 percent of Florida’s budget goes for Medicaid; if it lost federal funds, it would require 60 percent of all tax revenues to maintain today’s pre-Obamacare benefits.

In theory, state participation in Medicaid is voluntary; practically, no state can leave Medicaid because its residents’ federal taxes would continue to help fund it in all other states. Moreover, opting out of Obamacare’s expanded Medicaid would leave millions of poor people without affordable care. So Obamacare leaves states this agonizing choice: Allow expanded Medicaid to devastate your budgets, or abandon the poor.

The Constitution created a federal government of limited and enumerated powers, and promptly strengthened this with the 10th Amendment. The Supreme Court has held that the states therefore retain “a residuary and inviolable sovereignty” incompatible with federal “commandeering” of states’ legislatures and executives.

Under Obamacare’s Medicaid expansion, states are dragooned for the furtherance of federal objectives.

In 1987, the court upheld a federal law denying a portion of federal highway funds to states that refused to implement a drinking age of 21. The court held that the threatened loss of funds — only 5 percent — was a “relatively small” inducement and hence “not so coercive as to pass the point at which pressure turns into compulsion.” The court thereby said the federal government cannot behave like

Don Corleone, making offers states cannot refuse. At some point, government crosses the threshold of unconstitutional compulsion.

The crucial consideration is the degree of threatened impoverishment. Because of Obamacare, the nation needs clarity from the court. If it now thinks Congress has unfettered power to place conditions on states receiving money from it, the court should explicitly disavow its coercion doctrine. But if the coercion doctrine is to survive, Obamacare should not.

The Obamacare issues of Medicaid coercion and the individual mandate are twins. They confront the court with the same challenge, that of enunciating judicially enforceable limiting principles. If there is no outer limit on Congress’ power to regulate behavior in the name of regulating interstate commerce, then the Framers’ design of a limited federal government is nullified. And if there is no outer limit on the capacity of this government to coerce the states, then federalism, which is integral to the Framers’ design, becomes evanescent.

So, the time the court has allotted for oral argument about Obamacare is proportional to the stakes. This case is the most important in the more than half a century since the Brown v.

Board of Education cases because, like those, it concerns the nature of the American regime.

OLD HOME TOWN

100

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Jan. 22, 1912: YEARS “Frank Osborn, AGO the 8-year-old son IN 1912 of Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Osborn, was perhaps fatally injured Saturday in a coasting accident on what is known as ‘the Planing Mill Hill.’

The child with a number of other boys was coasting at noon. He had just started down the hill enough to get momentum to be going fast when his sled struck another one and he was thrown off. The worst injury seems to be internally for he struck on his stomach. His body is considerably cut and for some time after the fall he was unconscious.”

Even contraception now controversial BOSTON — Maybe Siri was being an alarmist. When I asked my BFF, the talking virtual assistant behind my new iPhone 4S, where I could find birth control, she answered, “I didn’t find any birth control clinics.”

This response wasn’t nearly as chilling as the one she uttered last fall when Siri was asked to find an abortion clinic and pointed to an anti-abortion “crisis pregnancy center.” Nevertheless in this charged atmosphere, she gave me a digital pause.

Today marks the 39th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court decision that supported a woman’s right to abortion. On Monday, the usual anti-Roe marchers will assemble in Washington, D.C., where they will calibrate their momentum.

But the big news this year is that we’ve run the reel right back past the 1973 Roe decision on abortion. Next up for debate is the 1965 decision of Griswold v. Connecticut. This ruling made contraception legal by overturning laws that could send you to prison for giving birth control to married couples.

Remember when the right edge of the Republican spectrum was Barry Goldwater, a Planned Parenthood supporter, even a fanboy? Now the GOP is a wholly owned subsidiary of the right-tolife movement with the last men standing for president outbidding each other in promises to smack down Roe. And they’re even getting a little squishy on birth control.

I used to think that leaders for

You don’t attack this head on. You follow the 39-year-old pro-life script: Chip away at access, hack away at funding, raise anxiety about sexual morals, argue about the legal precedent, and make politicians more afraid of the angry minority than the incredulous majority.”

reproductive rights were either hyperbolic or hyperventilating when they claimed that pro-life politics were targeting contraception. It was only the frayed fringe of the movement who equated birth control — The Pill Kills — with abortion or with sex run amok. But an attack that was once, um, inconceivable, is now gestating in the public square.

In politics, Rick Santorum was the test-tube candidate for this anxiety. Last October, the would-be president said, “Many in the Christian faith have said, well, that’s OK, contraception is OK. It’s not OK. It’s a license to

do things in a sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be.” For this, he won over folks like the Duggar family, stars of the TLC reality show “19 Kids and Counting.”

In Iowa, nearly all the candidates pledged to support the “personhood amendment” that would undermine IUDs, emergency contraception and the pill. Mitt Romney stopped one waffle short of agreeing. In New Hampshire, the ABC News debate featured candidates weaseling away from talking about the right to privacy that undergirds Griswold. And, by the way, Romney’s platform boasts that he’ll eliminate Title X family planning programs.

Without Title X, the Guttmacher Institute’s research says that the number of abortions would be one-third higher.

Question to Siri: “Are these people crazy?” Answer: “I don’t know what you mean by ‘Are these people crazy?’”

Right-wing politics is one thing, but the idea that contraception is now controversial has crept into the mainstream and even its onceliberal rivulets. Consider what happened in health care reform.

There was a knock-down argument last summer about making insurers cover birth control under the Affordable Care Act. Despite the Fox News commentator who compared covering contraception with covering pedicures, the administration made this mandatory. The uterus was recognized as a legitimate piece of anatomy.

But in short order, the White House got embroiled in an issue

over a “conscience clause.” Could religious institutions — including colleges, nonprofits, even hospitals — get an exemption from paying for birth control for their employees on moral grounds?

If a corporation is a person, is a hospital a worshipper? About 98 percent of sexually active Catholic women use contraception, but it was only after months of handwringing that the Obama administration said that religious employers are not exempt.

Meanwhile, the FDA said it was safe to sell emergency contraception — the “morning-after pill” — without age restrictions over the counter. But the administration overruled it on the grounds that some imaginary 11-year-old might not read the directions correctly.

The White House redefined a socially conservative choice: Contraception as controversy.

No one is reaching into your medicine cabinet tonight to confiscate the pill case. You don’t attack this head on. You follow the 39-year-old pro-life script: Chip away at access, hack away at funding, raise anxiety about sexual morals, argue about the legal precedent, and make politicians more afraid of the angry minority than the incredulous majority. Step by step you make a certainty — family planning — into a subject for debate. What happens next?

Question for my virtual assistant: “Siri, am I paranoid?”

Answer: “I would prefer not to say.” Thanks, hon. And let’s keep in touch.

Emotional rescue KANSAS 69, TEXAS 66

KANSAS GUARD ELIJAH JOHNSON TOSSES A PASS FROM THE FLOOR underneath Texas guard Myck Kabongo after a steal during the first half. KU beat the Longhorns, 69-66, Saturday in Austin, Texas.

KU, Robinson hold it together

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

AUSTIN, TEXAS — Thomas Robinson answered his wakeup call shortly after 10 a.m. Saturday in his AT&T Executive Center hotel room, flipped on the TV and was surprised to see his picture on the screen.

Kansas University’s junior forward from Washington, D.C., had tuned into an ESPN “Game Day” feature story on Saturday’s one-year anniversary of the death of his mom, Lisa.

“Seeing his sister (Jayla) on TV ... it definitely made him smile,” said Elijah Johnson, Robinson’s roommate, who monitored the reaction of his teammate on such an important day. “I think he needed that. It started his day off right. It started his day off good.”

The 6-foot-10 Robinson once again made his loved ones proud — he tweeted the simple message “FOE” (Family Over Everything) 90 minutes before

the game — by scoring 17 points, grabbing nine rebounds and coming up big in crunch time in the Jayhawks’ 69-66 victory over Texas in Erwin Center.

“Today was an emotional day for Thomas,” KU coach Bill Self said. “To go through what he has gone through and know this is the anniversary and wake up watching that ESPN special and all that stuff, to go out and perform like that ... I think that showed a lot about him.”

Self held a short meeting with all the Jayhawks except Robinson on Friday, telling them to skip the ESPN report on Lisa Robinson’s passing.

“Elijah texted me saying Thomas watched it,” Self said.

“I said, ‘How’s he doing?’ He said, ‘He’s OK. He wants to break down, but he hasn’t yet.’

I’m sure he’ll lose it here pretty soon. I think our guys picked him up today pretty well.”

Johnson deserves lot of ‘D’ credit

KANSAS’ THOMAS ROBINSON (0) IS FOULED by

Please see KANSAS, page 4B Texas’ Myck Kabongo in the waning seconds.

AUSTIN, TEXAS — Tyshawn Taylor again sped his Kansas University basketball team to victory, 69-66 against Texas in the Erwin Center on Saturday, and the toughest defensive assignment, as usual, went to Travis Releford.

But Taylor isn’t the only guard playing well for the Jayhawks, and Releford isn’t the only perimeter player taking pride in his defense.

Under the radar, a year before the spotlight shines on him, junior guard Elijah Johnson has become a player the coach doesn’t want to take off the floor because he’s making too many winning plays.

Kansas won the game by playing so well at the end, but it might not have come to that if the defense played on Texas junior guard J’Covan Brown had not been so terrific at the beginning.

Releford had Brown the first three-and-a-half minutes, and

every time Brown touched it, Kansas trapped him. Releford was tagged with a foul at the 16:37 mark, and Johnson took over the assignment. More of the same. Brown didn’t get a shot attempt off until the 13:15 mark of the half. Brown didn’t make a shot until he first missed five of them. His first bucket came with 6:27 left.

Releford returned to guarding Brown, but during the first half, Johnson was on him more minutes than anybody. All but Please see KEEGAN, page 5B

To say the Texas A&M women’s basketball team cruised to Saturday’s 76-65 victory against Kansas University at Allen Fieldhouse because of layups would be fair.

To say the Aggies (13-4 overall, 4-2 Big 12) were only successful when they shot layups would not be.

Behind 48 percent shooting,

including a ton of layups and some timely mid-range and three-point jumpers, the 14thranked Aggies controlled things from start to finish and handed Kansas (15-3, 4-2) its second conference loss at home this season.

“It’s very hard to watch,” KU point guard Angel Goodrich said of A&M’s layup clinic. “It was like our weakside wasn’t there, and we need that. If we’re trying to come back, we can’t let

them have layup, layup, layup.

We have to get stops.”

The Jayhawks’ bid at a comeback kicked into high gear early.

After giving up a 10-2 run to open the first half, the Jayhawks spent the rest of the night playing catch-up. At times, it looked as if they might. But too many turnovers and too talented an opponent prevented them from clawing closer than eight points in the second half.

“That was the first hole we

dug ourselves,” Goodrich said of the slow start. “And you can’t do that against a team like this.

I think we psyched ourselves out.”

Had it not been for an incredible offensive night from Goodrich, the Jayhawks easily would have been waxed by 20 or more.

Ravens hope to make Brady hurry FOXBOROUGH, MASS. (AP) — Tom Brady and the New England Patriots made it to the AFC championship game with a high-powered offense that piled up points and yards.

Ray Lewis and the Baltimore Ravens got there with a hardhitting defense that made it a major challenge for opponents to move the ball.

Today, one of those teams Brady will advance to the Super Bowl because, most likely, of what they do best. “We’ve got our hands full this week,� Lewis said. “You watched what they did last week against Denver, just the way they came out and ran their offense, how efficient (Brady) was, how many different receivers he hit with the ball. I think their offense, period, is playing at a very high level.�

From start to finish, Brady picked apart the Denver defense in a 45-10 divisional playoff win.

The Patriots (14-3) needed five plays to score on their first series on Brady’s 7-yard pass to Wes

AFC CHAMPIONSHIP Who: Ravens vs. Patriots When: 2 p.m. today Where: Foxborough, Mass.

TV: Channels 5, 13, 205, 213 Welker. It took them seven plays to reach the end zone on their second series on Brady’s 10-yard pass to Rob Gronkowski. By halftime, Brady had thrown five of his six touchdown passes.

He had plenty of time to survey the field as the Broncos put little pressure on him. The Ravens don’t plan to let that happen. “You don’t want him back there just like, ‘Oh, we’re just going to play catch today,’� Baltimore linebacker Terrell Suggs said. “You don’t want him to zone in, get in his zone, so to say. So I think pressure is going to be crucial, but it’s always crucial. But, particularly when you are playing these type of quarterbacks, it’s pivotal.�

Brady’s regular season was exceptional, even by his lofty standards. He threw for 5,235 yards, second most in NFL history, with 39 touchdown passes, 12 interceptions and the league’s third best quarterback rating of 105.6,

behind only Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees.

The Patriots, with Welker and Gronkowski doing most of the damage, were second in the NFL with 428 yards per game and third with an average of 32.1 points. “It’s a very clever offense,� Baltimore coach John Harbaugh said. “It’s well put together.�

Just like the Ravens defense.

Baltimore (13-4) allowed the third fewest average yards, 288.9, and points, 16.6, this season. It had four takeaways in last Sunday’s 20-13 divisional playoff win over the Houston Texans, the last by Ed Reed with 1:51 left. Lewis had a team-high seven tackles. “They’re great players. I’ve played against both those guys quite a few times,� Brady said. “You always enjoy going up against the best because you can really measure where you’re at.

You can’t take plays off against those guys. You can’t take things for granted when you’re out there against them. You have to see where they’re at on every play because they’re guys who change the game.�

And don’t forget Suggs. He led the AFC with 14 sacks, and, with Lewis and Reed were picked as Pro Bowl starters this season.

The Ravens have a “very attacking type defense,� Welker said. “They’re very physical. They run to the football really well.

They rush well, cover well, tackle well across the board. They have a lot of great players and a lot of playmakers.�

But they haven’t faced a passing attack with the weapons the Patriots have. Welker led the NFL with 122 catches and 1,569 yards receiving. Gronkowski was fifth with 90 catches and set an NFL record of 17 touchdown catches by a tight end. And Aaron Hernandez, a tight end who often lines up at wide receiver and had a 43-yard run out of the backfield against Denver, was 14th with 79 receptions. “They are not your typical offense,� Ravens linebacker Jarret Johnson said. “They’ll give you a personnel group and line up nowhere close to what you think they are going to do. You just have to roll with it and know what’s coming and adapt to it. “That’s why communication in these games is so vital and not going crazy and overthinking things — just getting lined up and playing — because you can get anything. You don’t know what you’re going to get.�

It’s like old times for Giants, 49ers SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The Giants boasted a physical, intimidating defense with athletic linebackers and stout linemen capable of stifling the NFL’s most productive offenses. San Francisco featured a high-powered passing attack led by an eventual Hall of Fame quarterback in his prime with receivers capable of turning short passes into big gains.

When the San Francisco 49ers play host to the New York GiManning ants in the NFC championship game today for a shot at the Super Bowl, the matchup conjures memories from a previous era of this great rivalry — even if the roles are somewhat reversed.

The elite quarterback now is New York’s Eli Manning, who connects on big plays to Hakeem Nicks and Victor Cruz in a similar fashion to how Joe Montana and Jerry Rice did for the dominant Niners in the 1980s.

San Francisco’s current front seven led by relentless defensive lineman Justin Smith, rookie passrushing specialist Aldon Smith and fierce linebackers Patrick

NFC CHAMPIONSHIP Who: Giants vs. 49ers When: 5:30 p.m. today Where: San Francisco TV: Channels 4, 204 Willis and NaVorro Bowman resembles that old Giants group featuring Hall of Famers Lawrence Taylor and Harry Carson.

And who could have predicted this surprising pairing?

The Giants (11-7) toppled defending champion Green Bay, 3720, last Sunday when everybody figured the road to the Super Bowl would go through Lambeau Field.

Instead, New York is traveling West to San Francisco to face the upstart 49ers (14-3) in a meeting of franchises with so many fresh faces on the big stage.

Jim Harbaugh’s “mighty men� as he calls them stunned Drew Brees and the favored Saints, 3632, when Alex Smith hit Vernon Davis for the game-winning 14yard touchdown with nine seconds remaining.

Smith knows both the 49ers and Giants showed it’s anybody’s game come playoff time. “Look at last week, I think everybody thought the road was

going to go through Lambeau.

I think everybody assumed the NFC championship game was going to get played there and look what happens,� Smith said. “These teams at this point, everybody’s as good as each other and it’s all going to come down to how you execute on that day. We’re all capable of beating each other, that’s for sure.�

Smith and Manning each orchestrated five fourth-quarter comebacks during the regular season, yet Manning missed in a 27-20 loss at San Francisco on Nov. 13 when Justin Smith batted away his last-ditch pass attempt on fourth down in the waning moments. “This is about the NFC championship. It’s an opportunity to get this win and go on to the Super Bowl,� Manning said. “We played them once before. We know they’re a good team. There’s no denying that. They’re playing great football. They’re playing with great confidence. It’s going to be exciting going out there and having another shot and seeing what we can do.�

Niners long snapper Brian Jennings is the only one left on either side from San Francisco’s last trip to the playoffs in January 2003, when the 49ers rallied for a

stunning 39-38 comeback victory against the Giants at Candlestick Park. San Francisco also had beaten New York during the regular season that year.

It’s sold out for today’s game with rain in the forecast as the 49ers look for their first trip to the NFC title game since the 1997 season. Former 49ers owner Eddie DeBartolo Jr. will serve as honorary captain after team president and nephew, Jed York, called him immediately after beating the Saints with the thoughtful invite.

Fittingly, DeBartolo owned the team from 1977-98, when the 49ers won five Super Bowls. He was affectionately known as “Mr. D� to his players and coaches.

The only other time these two franchises faced off in the conference championship the game finished in memorable fashion. On Jan. 20, 1991, Roger Craig fumbled with the 49ers leading 13-12 late in the fourth quarter and the Giants went on to win 15-13 to deny San Francisco a chance at a third straight Super Bowl title. New York then beat the Bills to capture its second Super Bowl.

These teams met six times in the playoffs between the 1981 and ’94 seasons with the winner going on to win the Super Bowl four times.

LHS boys’ defense stifles O-South, 61-41

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — It had only been eight days since Lawrence High’s boys basketball team last faced Olathe South, but Saturday’s rematch — for third place at the Topeka Invitational — couldn’t have resembled the Jan. 13 Sunflower League contest any less.

With an 11-point loss to the Falcons still on their minds, the Lions routed O-South, 6141.

The complete turnaround in fortunes for LHS (7-5) was particularly remarkable, considering the Lions didn’t have their starting center, Bryce Montes de Oca (out due to an ankle injury), this time around.

It was Lawrence’s switch to a 2-3 zone, instead of playing man-to-man, coach Mike Lewis said, that made all the difference. The absence of the 6-foot-7 Montes de Oca forced the change, but Lewis said the rest of the team made the defense work at the invitational.

“We definitely got settled into our zone this tournament,” Lewis said. “It just shows that we’ve got some depth. We’ve got some guys that can step up and play.”

Most importantly, Lawrence’s starting five — Jake Mosiman, KJ Pritchard, Shane Willoughby, Anthony Buffalomeat and Logan Henrichs — and sixth man Troy Willoughby excelled at playing an active, harassing defense within the framework of the zone.

Henrichs said the Lions’ defense cut down on the ability of O-South (8-3) to drive or get inside. Plus, LHS still had the ability to get out and contest shooters on the perimeter.

“It just made for really tough shots for them,” Henrichs said, “and we transitioned off that.”

Lawrence’s defense was solid throughout, as O-South turned the ball over 19 times and hit just 34 percent of its shots. However, the LHS defense really caught on in the second half, limiting the Falcons to 6-for-24 shooting.

Lewis said the LHS defenders leaned, moved well and were ahead of the ball. Basically, everything was in tune.

“We’ve got some guys who can be scrappy, and we’ve

Junior guard Shane Willoughby converted two fourth-quarter steals into four LHS points — first with a transition layup, then by diving on the floor for a loose ball, getting fouled and hitting two free throws. It was all part of a nine-point fourth quarter for the relentless 5-foot-9 guard who finished with 11 points and three assists.

“If we play defense like that all the time,” Shane said, “we’ll be pretty tough.”

Balance, too, made the Lions difficult to beat. Mosiman and Henrichs led the team with 12 points apiece, while Buffalomeat scored 10.

Pritchard had nine, and Troy Willoughby came off the bench with seven.

LHS first pulled out to a double-digit lead in the second quarter. The game was tied at 19 before the Lions finished the half on a 13-2 run. Mosiman buried backto-back three-pointers to get Lawrence momentum and then hit a pull-up jumper in the lane to finish a personal 8-2 run against the Falcons.

Although Lawrence maintained its lead in the third, OSouth finally cut into it in the fourth, getting the deficit to eight points near the midway point. It was about that time, Henrichs said, that Lawrence regrouped.

“We just kind of reminded each other we were ahead the whole game,” Henrichs said.

MCPHERSON — Cold shooting plagued the Free State High boys basketball team early, and the Firebirds couldn’t recover in a 66-51 loss to Shawnee Mission East on Saturday in the thirdplace game of the McPherson Invitational.

Free State hit just five of 25 shots in the first half — 20 percent shooting — and fell behind 28-12.

“Five-for-25 isn’t going to do it,” FSHS coach Chuck

Law said. “We had a lot of good shots. We dug ourselves too big a hole.”

Brett Frantz led the Firebirds with 21 points. Kyle McFarland scored 10, and Shawn Knighton added eight.

The Firebirds went 1-2 in the tournament, defeating Buhler in the first round and falling to Blue Valley West by one point in the semifinals.

“We played 10 very good quarters out of 12,” Law said.

“That’s pretty good basketball for us. We would have liked to have won the third-

place game. I feel good about what we got accomplished.

Three days in a row is a tough stretch. It’ll be good to have a couple days off.”

Law said the Firebirds would take two days off and return to practice Tuesday. Free State (3-9) next will play Jan. 31 at Shawnee Mission West.

Wichita Sunrise boys 62, Veritas 25 WICHITA — Elijah Penny and Andrew Currier scored seven points apiece, but the Veritas Christian boys basketball team fell to Wichita Sunrise, 62-25, on Saturday.

Wichita Sunrise built a 22-6 lead after one quarter and a 34-12 advantage at halftime.

“This was our second game in 18 hours, and we were a step slow,” Veritas coach Gary Hammer said.

“We didn’t have any gas in the tanks today. They just outplayed us.”

The previous night, the Eagles fell to Derby Invasion.

“It was a learning experience,” Hammer said.

Seabury went 0-3 in the tournament against bigger schools, losing by five points to both Kansas City Wyandotte and Shawnee Mission North.

“We struggled, but we kept the first two games within five points,” Seabury coach

Lawrence closed the game on a 17-5 run and made 11 of its 12 free-throw attempts in that stretch to finish 24-for27 from the foul line.

Lewis said Lawrence played well in all three games.

“You always want to win a championship, but if you don’t, you always want to win two (games),” he said.

Foul Brown?

No way

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

AUSTIN, TEXAS — Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self wasn’t tempted to foul J’Covan Brown — instead of letting him hoist a possible game-tying three — on Texas’ final possession.

“I’m not one of those coaches who believe you have to foul at three (-point lead),” said Self, who last spoke to his team during a timeout with 8.8 seconds left — just before Thomas Robinson toed the free-throw line for two attempts with KU leading, 68-66.

Robinson made the second of the two charities.

“The only way (Self may have ordered a foul) is if I called a timeout after Thomas made the second one. Then you are set, but Rick (Barnes, UT coach) has a chance then to do some things. I just said, ‘Let’s play.’’’

Self stressed that he didn’t want to inject negative thoughts in the timeout before Robinson’s free throws. He did not want to suggest Robinson might miss one or even both.

Nick Krug/Journal-World Photos “I told our guys, ‘When we KANSAS GUARD TYSHAWN TAYLOR, RIGHT, GETS A BUMP from teammate Naadir Tharpe after the Jayhawks’ 69-66 victory over Texas on Saturday in Austin, Texas are up by four ... but if anything bad happens this is how we’ll guard,’” Self said with a smile. !

No moral victory: Texas cut a 15-point deficit to three in the first half. In the second half, UT again trailed by 15, eventually taking a fourpoint lead down the stretch.

“Obviously, we are about winning. No one could ever say that we are going to accept the fact that we did not win. I think we should win every time we go on to the court, no matter what year it is,” said Texas coach Rick Barnes, whose young team fell to 2-4 in league play. “The frustration would be with the way we start games. There is absolutely no reason for it.

“The one thing you want as a coach is consistency. You want to know what you are going to get. We said from the beginning that we are not going to say anything about ‘young guys.’ I think it is a mind-set you have to come out with.

You have to know that the other team is going to come out at you. Our whole game plan was the way we played the last 10 minutes of the game.

We wanted to run and get our actions quicker. We did not do that. We played from behind, and then came back.” !

Self spoke with Robinson about the ESPN special prior to the game.

“I said it made me proud to watch it,” Self said. “He said, ‘Coach, it made me proud to watch it, too.’”

Robinson — his inside feed to Jeff Withey resulted in a basket and foul shot to erase a 66-65 deficit and give KU a 68-66 lead with :37 left — said he was holding up fine.

He had not only his coaches and teammates around Saturday, but also Angel Morris, mother of KU’s Morris twins.

She made a special trip to the game to make sure she was there if Robinson needed her.

Angel, who supported Thomas so much in the year since Lisa’s death, said Thomas was doing so well, she didn’t even bring up the significance of the day with him.

“I wouldn’t say it was too emotional,” Robinson said of Saturday. “No disrespect or anything, but that’s something I have to live with every day. For the media, it’s the anniversary, but for me it’s every day.”

Robinson was sent to the free-throw line in a crucial situation — with 8.8 seconds left and KU still up, 68-66.

Texas coach Rick Barnes called a timeout to ice Robinson.

Thomas missed the first free throw, but knocked down the second, meaning KU had a 69-66 lead with one possession to go.

missed a three with two seconds left, assuring KU its 16th win against three losses (6-0 in the Big 12). Texas fell to 127, 2-4.

“I’m still shaking,” Robinson joked of his nerves at the free-throw line.

He had just one rebound the first half. No matter, as the Jayhawks, who had gamehigh leads of 15 points in both halves, still led by 12 at the break.

“I don’t think that’s happened to me all season,” Robinson said of grabbing just one board in 20 minutes.

“Coach pointed that out to me. The second half I had the mind-set, ‘I need every rebound.’”

Robinson and Withey (12

points, 8-for-9 from the line) had clutch plays late to go with the all-around excellence of Tyshawn Taylor, who scored 22 points and had four assists against no turnovers.

“Let’s call it (like it is) ... it was Tyshawn Taylor. He controlled the game,” Self said. “He didn’t turn the ball over. He made shots, and when the game was on the line he got fouled and made a three-point play.”

First, KU’s Johnson hit a shot at 2:55 to slice a 64-60 deficit to one bucket. Then after a Clint Chapman miss, Taylor was fouled by Myck Kabongo on a jumper, hitting the free throw to give KU a 65-64 lead. Brown hit two free throws at 1:53 to put Texas up by one again, leading to the Withey and-one.

“We did a good job taking care of the ball,” Taylor said.

KU had just six turnovers to Texas’ nine.

Self was so happy with the lack of turnovers and poise in coming back from the fourpoint deficit he called it “the best win we’ve had all year.

It’s what we needed. The last one or two possession game we’d played was Georgetown in early November. Our guys stepped up. Jeff showed some guts making those free throws, and we defended the last possession well.”

Still, Brown, who made seven of 26 shots (three of eight from three), had a chance to hit the game-tying three before the final horn.

“He still got a look that scared me,” Taylor said with a smile. “I thought it was going in when he shot it. To win on the road like this against a talented team like Texas is good for us. It shows toughness from us.”

KU will meet Texas A&M at 8 p.m. Monday in Allen Fieldhouse.

UT’s Brown laments misses ————

‘Big-time players have got to hit big-time shots’

By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

AUSTIN, TEXAS — Texas guard J’Covan Brown took Saturday’s 69-66 loss to Kansas University the hardest after missing a potential gametying three-pointer from the left wing at the buzzer.

“If I want to be a big-time player, big-time players have got to hit big-time shots,” Brown said, “and I didn’t make it tonight.”

During times at the postgame news conference, Brown’s mind seemed to wander. While a teammate was answering a question, Brown leaned back in his chair with both hands on the top of his head while staring at the ceiling. He puckered

his lips, he twitched them left and right, and it was obvious the guard was replaying the final shot in his mind.

“Just frustrating I’m not finishing,” Brown said. “Those guys rely on me to make those shots. If you’re not making them, then I wouldn’t get mad if they put it in their head that, ‘J’Covan’s not making any shots. We’ve got to go to somebody else.’”

The junior, who came in leading the Big 12 with a 19.2 point-per-game scoring average, said he was surprised at how KU defended his last shot.

Though he expected KU forward Justin Wesley to switch on a screen to guard him, he said that isn’t what happened.

“When I saw him, he

backed off, and I just raised up,” Brown said. “He contested it at the end, but it was an open look for me. And it just didn’t go in.”

Brown finished with 24 points, but he was just 7-for26 from the floor. His 26.9 percent field-goal percentage was his fourth-worst mark this season.

KU’s primary defenders on him were Travis Releford and Elijah Johnson.

“They did their job, but really, my shots weren’t going in,” Brown said. “So it was really just all me. They worked hard, but some of the shots I missed, I usually make.”

Texas coach Rick Barnes said that Brown’s 26 fieldgoal attempts might have been a few too many.

“He took some he shouldn’t,” Barnes said, “but, again, there’s pressure on him because other guys aren’t working.”

Even late in the game, after he’d missed a few, Brown said teammates like freshman guard Sheldon McClellan en- KANSAS GUARD TRAVIS RELEFORD GETS A HAND on a couraged him to stay aggres- three-point shot by Texas guard J’Covan Brown late in the second half. sive and keep shooting.

After Brown made two free throws with 1:53 left to give UT a 66-65 lead, he missed three of the Longhorns’ final four field-goal tries: a threepointer that was blocked, an off-balance baseline jumper and the game’s final three.

“It starts with me,” Brown Edward T. Riling said. “If I want to be a play1875-1946 John J. Riling er, I’ve got to finish games Chartered, Est. 1900 1885-1971 strong. That’s really what it is.”

four of Brown’s 24 points came in the second half.

“I ended up switching onto him one play, and I felt some discomfort (on Brown’s part),” Johnson said. “I took advantage of it.

I got my hand on a couple of basketballs from him and (Myck) Kabongo. When it came to a timeout, coach called out the list and called who we were guarding, and I told him to switch mine, keep me on him.”

Johnson’s defense played a big hand in Kansas taking a 12-point lead at the half. He finished with nine points, four rebounds, three assists and three turnovers in 35 minutes. He also had one of the Jayhawks’ biggest buckets, pulling up and draining a guarded 15-footer to cut the deficit to 64-62 with 2:54 left.

Keeping opposing guards from getting past him was a problem in limited playing time as a freshman. Not anymore.

“I just have this mentality I’ve developed while I’ve been in school,” Johnson said. “I don’t really want anybody scoring on me. Forget the team, forget the coaches, forget the referees, forget everybody in the stands. Just personally, I don’t like being scored on, and that’s how I approach the person I’m guarding in the game.”

A special edition of the Lawrence Journal-World celebrating our hometown heroes.

KANSAS GUARD ELIJAH JOHNSON (15) TRIES to keep the mood light for Thomas Robinson before Robinson’s free throws late in the second half. Robinson hit the second of two crucial free throws. they’re discussing, especially when it’s a player playing as if he doesn’t care who gets the credit. Johnson has plenty of company in that regard.

“When I get scored on, it stands out,” he said. “I don’t know if you can tell, but when I get scored on, it stands out because it doesn’t happen very often.”

Johnson leads the team in three-point field-goal attempts (105), but hasn’t been the most accurate (.305) long-range shooter. Taylor does such a great job of breaking down the defense that open shots come to Johnson, and he’s supposed to take them. It’s a different sort of role for him.

“With me it’s never been about scoring,” Johnson said. “My whole life I’ve always enjoyed having other people score more, especially if I could put something together. I more so like to put it together and watch it develop than have somebody else put it together and me pull it through, although I can do that too. It’s just more fun, and I get more excitement out of having other people score. I guess you could call it a true point guard.”

Whatever you call it, the Kansas backcourt blends well enough that the team is alone in first place in the Big 12 with a 6-0 record and has won nine games in a row.

The Associated Press

No. 5 Missouri 89, No. 3 Baylor 88 WACO, TEXAS — Ricardo Ratliffe made it sound like just another game for Missouri after holding on for a big road victory at Baylor.

Maybe Ratliffe, the nation’s best shooter, and the Tigers are just so used to having success this season.

“It was the next game on our schedule,” Ratliffe said nonchalantly after Missouri’s victory. “We’re just trying to go out and get better and win games.”

The Tigers (18-1, 5-1 Big 12) did both Saturday in winning on the road against a Top 5 team for the first time since 1994. They also won at a place where they had lost their last three trips, this being their last before moving to the Southeastern Conference next season.

Ratliffe scored a careerhigh 27 points on 11-of-14 shooting for the Tigers, who built an early lead by outrebounding Baylor’s big front-line and then made 10 free throws in the final minute to hold off a furious rally by the Bears.

Ratliffe, who is shooting 77 percent from the field this season, had a big two-handed slam dunk midway through the second half when he scored six points in an 8-0

WACO, TEXAS (AP) — Brittney Griner had 22 points and 12 rebounds, and No. 1 Baylor stretched its schoolrecord home winning streak to 34 with a 76-41 victory over No. 23 Kansas State on Saturday night.

The Lady Bears (19-0, 6-0 Big 12), one of only two undefeated women’s teams in Division I, took control of the game with a 12-0 run midway through the first half. Griner started that spurt and put them ahead to stay, when her short jumper and free throw after being fouled on the shot broke an 11-all tie.

Baylor has won all six of its games this season against Top 25 teams.

Brittany Chambers had 16 points, and Tasha Dickey 10 for Kansas State (13-5, 4-2).

Kimetria Hayden added 11 points for the Lady Bears. Destiny Williams had 13 rebounds, her fourth consecutive game and sixth of seven with at least 10 rebounds. Griner played 29 minutes for her 10th doubledouble this season and 36th in 91 career games.

The other undefeated women’s team is Green Bay (17-0).

steal by forward Carolyn Davis (10 points, four rebounds) looked to give KU a chance to cut Texas A&M’s lead to as few as five or six points, Davis threw the ball away under her own basket, and A&M’s Tyra White scored — another layup — and was fouled.

Marlene Mawson Award Midway through the first half of Saturday’s game, KU senior Rebeka Stowe, a member of the women’s cross country and track and field teams, was honored with the newly named Marlene Mawson Female Athlete of the Year award.

Stowe, who hails from Olathe, is a three-time captain, a two-time All-American and the school record holder in the 3,000-meter steeplechase and indoor distance medley relay.

Senior women’s administrator Debbie Van Saun and Mawson, known affectionately as the “Mother of Kansas Athletics,” were on the floor to present Stowe with the trophy.

Welcome back At halftime of Saturday’s game, around 20 former KU women’s basketball players stepped onto the court and were honored for their service to the KU program.

This weekend was alumni weekend at KU, and several familiar faces from the past received a tour of KU’s facilities Saturday afternoon and also attended a reception in their honor prior to Saturday’s tipoff.

Lawrence wrestling places second

FAYETTEVILLE, ARK. — Arkansas won the first seven events on the day and cruised to a 199-96 victory over Kansas University in a swimming and diving dual on Saturday.

KU fell to 5-4, while Arkansas improved to 2-3.

“Our overall team performance was poor,” KU coach Clark Campbell said. “There were a couple glimpses (of good performances) here and there, but I thought we were just not that competitive.”

Kansas won just one solo event on the day: Stephanie Payne won the 400 IM in 4:29.21.

KU will travel to Ames, Iowa, for a dual Feb. 3-4 with Iowa State.

OVERLAND PARK —Lawrence High wrestlers Nick Pursel, Reece WrightConklin and Brad Wilson took first place in their respective weight classes, and the Lions took second

FSHS wrestler wins Paola championship PAOLA — Free State High junior wrestler Spencer Wilson won the championship in the 182-pound weight class, and the Firebirds finished 10th overall Saturday at the Paola Invitational.

Wilson, 19-0 on the season, won the title by pinning his opponent in the first period.

MY JOB!

My name is Renee Cooper. I am a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) working as a Medical Staff Associate (MSA) and MSA trainer at CSL Plasma. CSL Plasma is one of the largest collectors of human plasma in the world.

Blood is made up of a liquid portion and a cellular portion; the cellular portion contains white blood cells that fight infection, red blood cells that carry oxygen, and platelets that aid clotting. Plasma is the liquid portion of your blood. This plasma is the key ingredient for products crucial to treating patients suffering from a host of life-threatening conditions including hemophilia, shock or trauma, immune deficiencies, and other blood disorders. My position requires me to do medical screening exams, verify eligibility requirements, and provide education to potential donors to help meet the need for these livesaving therapies.

The best part of my job is the interaction with donors who take time out of their day to help save a life by donating plasma. Our donors come from all walks of life – retirees, college students, working professionals,- but it does not matter where they come from, they are helping to save lives.

The donors keep me laughing ad smiling all day. I previously worked in various medical positions, but chose CSL Plasma because I feel good about being part of a process that helps patients around the world.

Donating plasma is very safe. The supplies used to collect plasma are sterile and only used once to ensure everything that comes in contact with your blood is safe. We collect plasma using a process called plasmapheresis, which separates plasma from blood and collects it in a bottle. The uncollected parts of blood, including red and white blood cells, are returned to the donor. This allows the donor to donate up to two times a week because they do not have to replenish the blood that is returned to them. Donors are compensated for their time and can earn up to $80 per week donating plasma. It’s a great job, a great place to work, and I feel good that I’m helping to save lives. If you would like to work for CSL Plasma, please visit www.cslplasma.com

Woman keeps taking what isn’t hers Dear Annie: Six months ago, I was fired for stealing from my job. I was too embarrassed to tell anyone, so I lied —to my parents, my friends, everybody. I told them I quit so I could go back to school.

Then I lost my house because I didn’t have the money to pay the mortgage. My parents told me that I’m almost 40 and need to stand on my own two feet. They wouldn’t let me move in with them.

My best friend felt sorry for me and said I could camp out in her guest room until I got back on my feet.

In that time, I’ve fallen in love with her husband.

I couldn’t help it. “Alex” is amazing —smart, charming, kind, athletic, attractive, the total package. But it makes me uncomfortable to see him being so affectionate with his wife, always holding her hand and stroking her hair.

I can’t figure out why their marriage has lasted 10 years.

He’s outgoing, and she’s shy.

She’s also rather plain. Alex doesn’t seem to realize that he could have somebody so much better looking and smarter. He could have me.

I know his wife took me in when nobody else would, but you can’t help who God tells you to love. My mother says I need therapy. I don’t agree. I simply want to know how to

months. He will be in Japan for twice that time.

My father recently told me about having a failed longdistance relationship while he was in the armed forces, saying, “You know, when you go abroad, that will probably be the end for the two of you.

Just enjoy it while you can.”

Dex and I are already in a long-distance relationship (about five hours from each other).

Yes, sometimes distance can create insurmountable barriers. If you are afraid you cannot be without a man in your life for a year, then you aren’t ready to commit to Dex, and we suggest you go your separate ways now. That’s an OK decision to make, and you shouldn’t feel guilty. But if you are determined to stay with Dex, friends (not boyfriends) can alleviate your loneliness.

For Sunday, Jan. 22: This year you want to be more authentic, yet you get twisted up in language like “I should” or “someone expects.” By getting to know the real you, people will be more at peace with interactions. If you are single, different types of people will appeal to you.

Try to avoid commitments this year. If attached, the two of you play many games. Take your interactions with a grain of salt, and continue to express your caring. AQUARIUS could be a soul mate.

The audience size for “Downton Abbey” on “Masterpiece Classics” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings) can’t compare with NFL football, but its fans make up for it with enthusiasm. “Downton” just may be the most addictive and beloved PBS/BBC series of all time.

As on many period melodramas, a premium is not put on action. Events on “Downton” unfold rather slowly, and you can see them coming a mile away at the speed of a horse and buggy. But the languid pace allows more time to ogle the sets and costumes and the characters’ operatic facial gestures.

Tonight: The abbey becomes a recuperation center for wounded officers (naturally). Meanwhile, on the Western Front, Matthew and William become lost behind enemy lines.

A fairy tale romance thwarted on “Once Upon a Time” (7 p.m., ABC).

Alicia takes a case freighted with religious misunderstandings on “The Good Wife” (8 p.m., CBS).

Bree and the bottle are a bad mix on “Desperate Housewives” (8 p.m., ABC).

A Roman holiday on “Pan Am” (9 p.m., ABC).

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might want to approach a situation differently. A discussion reveals a lack of sensitivity on one person’s part. Tonight: Invite family over.

STATE OF THE UNION

Obama to offer economic blueprint

By Ben Feller Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Vilified by the Republicans who want his job, President Barack Obama will stand before the nation Tuesday night determined to frame the electionyear debate on his terms, using his State of the Union address to outline a lasting economic recovery that will “work for everyone, not just a wealthy few.”

As his most powerful chance to make a case for a second term, the prime-time speech carries enormous political stakes for the Democratic incumbent who presides over a country divided about his performance and pessimistic about the nation’s direction. He will try to offer a stark contrast with his opponents by offering a vision

of fairness and opportunity for everyone.

In a preview Saturday, Obama said in a video to supporters that the speech will be an economic blueprint built around manufacturing, Obama energy, education and American values.

He is expected to announce ideas to make college more affordable and to address the housing crisis still hampering the economy three years into his term, people familiar with the speech said. Obama will also propose fresh ideas to ensure that the wealthy pay more in taxes, reiterating what he considers a matter of basic fairness, the officials said.

His policy proposals will be less important than what Obama hopes they all add up to: a narrative of renewed American security with him at the center, leading the fight.

“We can go in two directions,” Obama said in the campaign video. “One is toward less opportunity and less fairness. Or we can fight for where I think we need to go: building an economy that works for everyone, not just a wealthy few.”

That line of argument is intended to tap directly into concerns of voters who think America has become a nation of income inequality, with rules rigged to help the rich.

The degree to which Obama or his eventual Republican opponent can better connect with millions of hurting Americans is expected to de-

termine November’s presidential election.

Obama released his video hours ahead of the South Carolina primary, where Republican candidates fought in the latest fierce contest to become his general election rival.

The White House knows Obama is about to get his own stage to outline a reelection vision, but carefully.

The speech is supposed to be an American moment, not a campaign event.

Obama didn’t mention national security or foreign policy in his preview, and he is not expected to break ground on either one in his speech.

He will focus on the economy and is expected to promote unfinished parts of his

nies triggered an avalanche of Internet clicks to force Congress to shelve legislation that would curb online piracy. They outmaneuvered the entertainment industry and other old guard business interests, leaving them bitter and befuddled.

Before Senate and House leaders set aside the legislation Friday, the movie and music lobbies and other Washington fixtures, including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, had put in play their usually reliable tactics to rally support for the bills.

There were email campaigns, television and print ads in important states, a Times Square billboard, and uncounted phone calls and visits to congressional offices in Washington and around the country. That included about 20 trips to the Capitol by leaders of the National Songwriters Association International, often accompanied by songwriters who

“We bring our guitars on our backs,” said songwriter Steve Bogard, the association’s president.

Such campaigns are often music to the ears of lawmakers. This time, however, it was smothered by an online outpouring against the legislation that culminated Wednesday.

According to organizers, at least 75,000 websites temporarily went dark that day, including the English-language online encyclopedia Wikipedia, joined by 25,000 blogs.

“The U.S. Congress is considering legislation that could fatally damage the free and open Internet,” said a message on Wikipedia’s home page, which was shrouded in shadows and provided links to help visitors reach their members of Congress.

Thousands of other sites posted messages protesting the bills and urging people to contact lawmakers. Protest leaders say that resulted in 3 million emails.

Google, its logo hidden beneath a stark black rectangle, solicited 7 million signatures on a petition opposing the bills. Craigslist counted 30,000 phone calls to lawmakers and there were 3.9 million tweets on Twitter about the bills, according to NetCoalition, which represents leading Internet and high tech companies.

“It’s still something we’re trying to comprehend,” said Google spokeswoman Samantha Smith. “We had such an overwhelming response to our petition that it honestly far exceeded our expectations.”

DUTCH SAILOR LAURA DEKKER throws a rope as she docks her boat Saturday in St. Maarten.

Dekker ended a yearlong voyage aboard her sailboat, “Guppy,” that she says made her the youngest person ever to sail alone around the globe.

she was too young to risk her life, while school officials complained she should be in a classroom.

Dekker said she was born to parents living on a boat near the coast of New Zealand and said she first sailed solo at 6 years old. At 10, she said, she began dreaming about crossing the globe. She celebrated her 16th birthday during the trip, eating doughnuts for breakfast after spending time at port with her father and friends the night before in Darwin, Australia.

The teenager covered more than 27,000 nautical miles on a trip with stops that sound like a skim through a travel magazine: the Canary Islands, Panama, the Galapagos Islands, Tonga, Fiji, Bora Bora, Australia, South Africa and now St. Maarten, from which she set out on Jan. 20, 2011.

“Her story is just amazing,” said one of Dekker’s fans, 10-year-old Jody Bell of Connecticut. “I can’t imagine someone her age going out on sea all by herself.”

Bell was in St. Maarten on a work trip with her mother, Deena Merlen, an attorney in Manhattan, who wanted to see Dekker complete her journey. The two wore Tshirts that read: “Guppy rocks my world.”

“My daughter and I have been following Laura’s story, and we think it’s amazing and inspiring,” Merlen said.

BRIEFLY Ambush of police truck in Syria kills 14 BEIRUT — A string of explosions struck a police truck transporting prisoners in a tense area of northwestern Syria on Saturday, killing at least 14 people, state media and an opposition group said. Government troops also battled defectors in the north in fighting that left 10 people dead.

The 10-month uprising

against Syrian President Bashar Assad began with largely peaceful anti-government protests, but has turned increasingly militarized and chaotic in recent months as more frustrated regime opponents and army defectors arm themselves and fight back against government forces.

The official SANA news agency said the ambush of the police truck occurred on the Idlib-Ariha highway, an area near the Turkish border that

SANA blamed the attack on “terrorists.”

Magnitude-6.2 quake hits off Mexico coast MEXICO CITY — A magnitude-6.2 earthquake that hit off the coast of the southern Mexican state of Chiapas on Saturday shook as far away as El Salvador but brought no immediate reports of damage or injuries.

The quake at 12:47 p.m.

CST broke windows in the Chiapas state capital of Tuxtla Gutierrez and sent frightened residents into the streets in numerous cities.

It was felt from the Mexican state of Veracruz, through Pacific regions of Guatemala and into El Salvador.

“It was quite long and felt with a lot of force,” said Carlos Lopez Mendoza, spokesman with the Red Cross in El Salvador.

TREES IN OLD WEST LAWRENCE provide shade and color in one of the oldest areas of Lawrence. The Douglas County Extension Master Gardeners are taking nominations for heritage trees, which may have had a significant role in the city’s history.

Master Gardeners seek trees of historic significance The Douglas County Extension Master Gardeners are kicking off a new project to locate trees of historical significance in the county. The end goal of the “Historic Trees of Douglas County” project is to educate residents and visitors about those trees, sharing the stories that connect us to our heritage.

Do you know the legend of the hanging tree that supposedly aided in the death of one of Quantrill’s raiders? Or stories of trees that shaded Lawrence’s earliest settlers or took bullets in the Civil War? These are just the kind of trees the Master Gardeners hope to learn about and share as part of the project.

Although Master Gardeners are welcoming suggestions and stories of worthy potential heri-

Garden Calendar

Jennifer Smith smithjen@ksu.edu

tage trees, not just any old tree will make the cut. Specifically, trees selected as heritage trees must meet one or more of the following criteria: ! The tree is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad

pattern of our history. ! The tree is associated with the life of a person or group with historical or cultural significance. ! The tree represents a significant and distinguishable entity within a community or location. ! The tree’s age, size or species, or a combination of those factors, makes it significant to our heritage.

Suggestions of potential heritage trees can be submitted through the K-State Research and Extension — Douglas County office, 2110 Harper St., Lawrence. You can also reach Master Gardeners or me at 843-7058 or dgemg@sunflower.com.

In cases of Heritage Trees located on private property, landowners will have the option of making the tree’s loca-

tion known. Preference may be given to trees on public land or that are readily accessible to visitors.

Thinking about a tree’s past is a bit of a change from my usual “trees are the future” mentality.

Now, sitting under a big, old oak tree offers a moment of reflection to the history that tree has seen and the events it has witnessed firsthand. Trees tell us stories of environmental conditions and catastrophic events through their growth rings, but those still standing can perhaps tell us even more.

The quest to locate heritage trees is also a good time to reflect on the benefits trees provide — often defined as societal, communal, environmental and economic benefits. Not only do trees make

us feel good when we are around them but they also produce lifegiving oxygen, shade and cool city streets and sidewalks, reduce heating and cooling costs, provide privacy and even direct traffic.

If you do not know of any potential heritage trees, think about planting one for the future.

Stay tuned for more information and educational programs upon project completion.

Funding for the project is being provided by the Douglas County Heritage Conservation Council’s Natural and Cultural Heritage Grant Program.

Kovel’s Antiques: Forgotten toys still have value

By Terry Kovel

THIS TOY STUFFED MOUSE was well-known to children in the 1920s. It is a character from a book by Johnny Gruelle, bestknown as the author of the Raggedy Ann books. The felt mouse sold for $1,024 at a Theriault’s auction last summer in Anaheim, Calif.

Toys often were made to resemble famous people or characters in plays, books or TV shows. Sometimes the character that inspired the toy is forgotten, but the toy remains popular with collectors because it is so well-designed, unusual or lovable. Raggedy Ann and Andy are still recognized by young and old, and the storybooks featuring them remain in print.

But Johnny Gruelle, who wrote and illustrated the books, created other characters that are forgotten today. “Johnny Mouse and the Wishing Stick” is a children’s book published in 1922. It was based on stories and illustrations from Gruelle’s monthly series, “Johnny Mouse and the Woozgoozle,” which appeared in Woman’s World magazine in 1920 and 1921.

The Johnny Mouse felt doll was patented in July 1921.

The magazine sold it by mail order for $1.

The gray felt mouse has a long, pointy, pink nose,

shoe-button eyes, one ear and a yellow hat that covers the missing ear. The mouse’s body was dressed in a printed shirt, felt trousers, a yellow neck bow and felt shoes. His clothes could not be removed. The identification of the mouse doll as a design by Gruelle added to the value when the 10-inch doll sold at a Theriault’s auction in Anaheim, Calif., in July 2011. It cost the new owner $1,024.

Deen cooks up disappointment with diabetes announcement

By Sarah Henning sarah@lawrence.com

Usually when I see Paula Deen’s thousand-watt smile and Kewpie doll eyes I think of one thing: Butter.

In an amazingly memorable episode of “Iron Chef America” the Southern cook teamed up with Cat Cora to take on Tyler Florence and Robert Irvine in “Battle: Sugar!”

In the episode, Paula plays to the audience, cackling with deep-fried energy and oneliners, making the other three Deen chefs and a sous chef in elf gear look like scenery. All the while, she’s putting on a show within a show with made-forTV moves such as grabbing a pound of butter, dumping it in a pan with a half-melted loaf of processed cheese and chirping for the camera, “My favorite ingredient, butter!”

So, naturally, my association with Paula Deen and butter, is normal. And I imagine many of you also have the very same direction association. Makes sense, right? Right.

But ever since Tuesday morning, when I see those impossibly blue eyes and wide grin of Southern hospitality, all I can think is: What a waste.

In case you missed it, the queen of Southern cooking confirmed Tuesday morning on the “Today” show that she has Type-II diabetes. Like many Americans, she had no clue until she went to her doctor for a routine physical ... three years ago.

Never mind that she’s been whipping up sweet potato praline crunch pie and other heartstopping delights for three years since finding out that she’d need to watch her blood glucose levels. That’s untruthful and severely reckless behavior, to be sure, but what was really disappointing came next.

Articulate CONTINUED FROM PAGE 12C

pairing actual gestures and things that have meaning with these sorts of contraptions that I make?”

She says her “contraptions” started small and jewelrylike, and from there became more sculptural in nature.

The life-size designs are now appropriate as wall art, which will be how they will be displayed at the Arts Cen-

Rather than launching a new line of diabetic-friendly recipes or talking about how she’s overhauled her diet in the name of health, Deen instead batted her eyelashes, put that grin in place and announced to the world she was to be a paid spokeswoman for a diabetes drug company.

COMMENTARY Of course, because the hot glare of the “Today” show lights doesn’t come without a probing question or two, Al Roker (yes, they had the giggly weatherman interview Paula) tried his best to do an impression of a hard-hitting journalist and asked her directly if her rich recipes had anything and everything to do with her diagnosis. After a great deal of hokey-pokeying around like an experienced politician, her collective answer on the subject seemed to amount to this: “I’m not a doctor, I’m a chef.

Here, take this drug.”

Now I know Paula Deen didn’t sign up to be a moral compass when she burst onto the cooking scene in the mid1990s, all personality and butter pats. Anyone who becomes a celebrity doesn’t automatically lose the chance for independent thought, going against the grain or making unpopular decisions. Celebrities are people too, and they aren’t perfect as we’ve seen time and time again.

But — and it’s a voluminous but — celebrities do have to think a bit harder about their actions because their influence is at a premium. I suppose that is why I was so disappointed with Paula on Tuesday. She missed out on a fabulous chance to reach out to the masses and promote healthy eating.

Because of her personality and power and history, if she had said, “Hey, I have diabetes and though I still like rich foods, I am learning to cook in a healthful way and I want ter. With each piece, Crupi sends careful instructions for set up, and each piece goes from being a body piece to being a wall-mounted sculpture, each with a background or setting demonstrating how to use the piece in a clear, but artful, way.

Ahlvers notes that while the exploration of nonverbal communication and how we treat each other is a wellknown theme among artists, Crupi’s vision and her pieces stand alone in their creativity.

to share my healthier recipes with you,” that would’ve been incredible. We all know where she’s been (fried mac and cheese, Krispy Kreme bread pudding) and if a lifestyle change were where she was going, it would mean much to many Americans who are struggling with diabetes or pre-diabetes. There would be a certain “If Paula can change, I can too” oomph attached to such a decision that could light a fire for someone who can relate to her right down to a diabetes diagnosis.

But she didn’t do that. Instead, she told us rich foods were merely a puzzle piece in the diabetes epidemic. True, yes, genetics do play a role, as does exercise and weight, to be sure. But diet is a puzzle piece so massive it would basically play the role of Brazil if diabetes happened to look like South America.

To be fair, Paula’s sons have just launched a show that includes healthier recipes called, ironically or not, “Not My Mama’s Meals.” But you know what? That’s not enough.

That show isn’t Paula’s baby, and it doesn’t come with the weight of her word.

We could watch her healthminded son, Bobby, make “Bobby’s Lighter Gooey Butter Cake” for the masses but, for all his good intentions, an entire season’s worth of recipes from Bobby Deen isn’t worth an iota of what his mother could’ve done with a single statement and some personal responsibility.

Instead, her announcement smacks of greed as much as mutual disappointment, and it’s certainly a bitter taste.

With the backlash she’s gotten since her announcement, I hope that Paula decides to use her powers for the greater good and gets into the kitchen to whip up healthier, diabetesfriendly fare that tastes good — and has the potential to help millions of sick Americans find the road to better health — butter be darned.

“That’s the broad brush stroke with her work is that it’s about the human condition and how we interact or behave around each other.

But there’s another layer to it that I think is uniquely hers,” he says. “She has a unique voice with that idea or that notion that so many artists have done before and everybody’s trying to carve out their voice within that idea. I think she’s done that.”

Lemonheads singer keeps making music for himself

By Alex Garrison acgarrison@ljworld.com

“Where are we playing this time, I wonder?”

Evan Dando begins a brief conversation with musings about Kansas.

I remind him it’s The Granada, 1020 Mass., and that he’ll be here Friday. He’s not familiar, but he remembers The Bottleneck, though he thinks it’s in Kansas City.

“I always seem to have a pretty good time out there,” he says.

It’s an honest mistake.

As the only consistent member of the indie pop band the Lemonheads, he’s been touring through the country — and Lawrence — on and off since its peak, MTV-video-inclusive fame in the early in 1990s.

Frontman and songwriter Dando had a grunge look — long hair, lots of flannel, the occasional on-stage dress — but a decidedly indie-pop sound. His 1992 album, “It’s A Shame About Ray,” including a bubbly cover of “Mrs. Robinson,” brought him his biggest success and was reissued by Rhino in 2008. A 47-track compilation of the Lemonheads’ tunes, beginning in 1986 and extending to today, called “Laughing All the Way to the Cleaners,” is out this month.

Speaking from a tour stop in Connecticut, Dando talked about reviving “Shame,” balancing catchy hooks with dark lyrical references and keeping things fresh after more than 20 years of touring.

Special to the Journal-World

EVAN DANDO AND THE LEMONHEADS will be performing Friday at the Granada.

Alex Garrison: What’s the balance of the set list on this tour like? Can we expect a lot of old songs mixed in with new?

Evan Dando: The whole tour is doing “It’s A Shame About Ray” and whatever I feel like playing after that.

That’s the tour.

AG: With the work you’ve been doing lately — including this tour — do you feel you’re reaching a new audience?

ED: Oh, yeah, definitely.

We get people out who have never seen us before, and mixed in are people who saw us the first time around. So that’s really fun. It’s a reason to keep playing, you know, to get people who’ve never seen us before, and if they know what they’re getting, they tend to want to come more — it’s a nice little trick for old bands like us. The Pix-

THE LEMONHEADS When: 9 p.m. Friday Where: The Granada Theatre, 1020 Mass.

Cost: $15 ies toured Doolittle for two years and it’s just like something good to do.

AG: You’re known for songs with a real light-pop sensibility — super catchy and fun. But in songs like “Rudderless” and “My Drug Buddy” the lyrics address some of the problems you’ve faced with drug addiction pretty head-on. How do you find a balance between those dark and light elements when you’re writing and performing?

ED: I don’t know, it just comes naturally to me, I think. “Shame About Ray” is a product of a trip to Australia

Is ‘saying grace’ still a common occurrence for your members’ families?

Sitting down to eat with family not as commonplace The Rev. David Rivers, senior pastor, First Christian Church, 1000 Ky.: My first memory of “saying grace” traces back to my grandfather, Clem. I suppose I was 4 or 5 years old as my family gathered for the Thanksgiving meal. My grandmother asked him if he would like to say grace.

Everyone lowered their heads, folded their hands, and waited for him to say grace.

“Grace!”

Then he started to eat. My grandmother shouted across the table, “Clem, I asked you to say grace.” And to this he responded, “I did. Let’s eat!”

Though comical, it was a statement of the importance of saying grace in my family. I would imagine that my

family isn’t all that unique.

For many, saying grace is the barrier between the present moment and the consumption of the food. Rivers Yet for others, this time is a chance to slow down, even for just a few moments, to give thanks and ask God’s blessings on the food, those that grew it, and for the gift of being in each other’s presence.

In our faith community, I am told that “we say grace at every meal” by many. Certainly many do, yet in the high-paced world of today, meals have lost the sense of

an experience of gathering to share life and build relationships to a task that stands before the next task. We have abandoned a slowing down and catching up with one another around a meal.

What if we re-examined the “why” of saying grace?

Why is it important to you?

Why should we even consider saying grace? What if, for just a few moments, you paused to acknowledge God’s provision, another’s hard work, and the joy of being together? Would it change the meal? Perhaps the food wouldn’t taste any different, but our reason for gathering may be enriched.

— Send email to David Rivers at david@fcclawrence.org.

Send your questions about faith and spiritual issues for our religion columnists to religion@ljworld.com.

Saying grace can have mixed motives The Rev. John McFarland, pastor, Christ Covenant Reformed Presbyterian Church, 2312 Harvard Road: Yes! You want more: For such a simple action as “saying grace” before public meals, there are many principles at work, some in apparent conflict.

The “Tebowing” debate tackles us at supper: “Didn’t Jesus command us to pray invisibly, in our closets?” Since hypocrisy is so tempting, can’t we see that public “returning of thanks” makes us Pharisees instead of Christians? Do some of us actually believe our food must be ritually blessed or it will harm us?

On the other hand, Christ’s disciples are to be ambassadors for the master who is oft ignored in our times, espe-

cially in public spaces.

If we are properly grateful for the bounties which come to us from God’s hand, McFarland isn’t it appropriate to praise and thank him? After all, God is present, even at Burger Barn!

A bowing of the head is a simple recognition of this basic Biblical fact. Over-loud table conversations convince us that our neighbors are not ashamed of Jayhawks and political positions; am I ashamed of my maker and redeemer — giver of every gift?

Righteous Daniel insisted on praying, thrice daily, before an open window, such that neighbors could observe his

devotion. The controversies surrounding this simplest action commend humility: “O Lord, even when I seek to do the religious thing, mixed motives surround and infect me. Am I bowing to be admired by men or to honor you?”

Though “table grace” in a restaurant may be brief, include a plea for more grace, undeserved mercy from God’s throne, through the sacrifice of Jesus, that even our religious actions will be cleansed on their heavenly flight. “Search me, O God, and know my heart. Try me … See if there is any hurtful way in me.”

Oh … and thanks for the food!

in 1981, and I came back and a lot of the songs are about experiences and friends I had down there and about people down there that I met. It sort of has a happy/sad thing going for it and I think it’s a unique record and I’m proud of it, and that’s why I can stand to still play it.

AG: One of my favorites is “Bit Part.” I really like how your vocals work with the female vocals. Do you have someone to sing that part?

ED: The female vocal has its own place. We don’t have a girl with us this time, so the crowd tends to sing that.

AG: For whom are you still making and playing music?

What keeps you at it?

ED: I do it for myself, to work things out. To make something, it’s a real joy to write something that’s really just your own thing about things you’ve noticed or about people or just grabbing something — a feeling, it’s cathartic, comforting thing for me, you know? And if you’re in a band, you’ve gotta sing something, so you have to write songs and it’s fun.

Yeah, I do it for myself. And to have something to play.

AG: And it’s still fun?

ED: Yeah. Somehow I still like it. That’s good, because I change members so much — it stays fresh that way.

AG: Anything more you’d like us to know?

ED: Meredith Sheldon is playing before us. She’s great.

ARTIST JENNIFER CRUPI’S WORK WILL BE ON DISPLAY at the Lawrence Art Center through March 8 in an exhibition entitled “The Articulate Body.” BELOW LEFT: Crupi’s “Guarded Gestures, #2” shown being worn. BELOW RIGHT: Crupi’s “Unguarded Gestures, #1” shown worn.

Artist explores body language in exhibit

By Sarah Henning sarah@lawrence.com

Posture is more than just something your mother complained that you didn’t do well enough: It’s a window into how we treat each other.

Posture equals body language, and, no matter how you say it, it says something about you ou. and those around you. pi, To Jennifer Crupi, that’s an intrigu-ing concept — one worth exploration, acknowledgment and discussion.

A New Jerseybased artist and professor, Crupi has spent a career using her metalsmithing work to make a point about rhow we express ourselves. n disHer art went on play Friday at the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 N.H., and a reception will be from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Friday as part of Final Fridays.

The Kean University professor’s solo exhibit, entitled “The Articulate Body,” will be shown until March 8.

“The body of work that I’m going to be exhibiting is all inspired by body language and nonverbal

THE ARTICULATE BODY When: Through March 8 Where: The Lawrence Arts Center, 940 N.H. What: A collection of metal pieces meant to create discussion about the open and closed postures we use as human beings to express ourselves. communication,” Crupi says. “The works are actually two series that II’ve ve been working on for aw awhile — one is the ‘Gua ‘Guarded Gesture’ series and one is the ‘U ‘Unguarded Gestu ture’ series.”

Both series p pick at our imp plied human e emotions in a playful yet th thoughtful way, wi with the “Guarded Gesture” series “show “showing how we use body llanguage to add self-protec self-protection to make ourselves more comfortable,” and the “Unguarded Gesture” series being “more open postures, so more inviting.”

For example, “Guarded Gestures, #2” is a piece of shiny sterling silver meant to loop around the wearer’s neck and fall in such a way that two supports can be used to cross one’s arms protectively over his or her chest. Mean-

while, “Unguarded Gestures, #1” also loops around the neck but is designed to mobilize the hands in front of the body in such a way that it’s as if the wearer had tucked their thumbs in the front pockets of their jeans in an open and friendly way. ing There’s something rboth ancient and futuristic about the works in the manner they display humanity.

Ben Ahlvers, exhibition program director at the Lawrence Arts Center, says it’s precisely that unusual mix and simple beauty that attracted the center to showing Crupi’s work. iful “Her work is beautiful ng.

It’s sort of a curiosity on one level, but when you dig a little deeper and get to what it is she’s saying

with the work, it’s really powerful,” Ahlvers says. “Her use of material, I think, was one element that was really an attraction for us. I mean, being trained as a metalsmith, typically it’s in the jewelry arena and her work touches on that, but is certainly not jewelry.”

Crupi says she did start out in jewelry, and in some ways she considers her current art to be jewelry. Her decision to shift into more clinical and exploratory wearable art came after years of playing around with her interests.

“Blame it on grad school school,” she says laughing and adding that as an undergraduate she created je jewelry that could m morph from one tthing into ano other. “I began to tthink about how I c could make work th that had a greater co connection to the bo body, and I had alw always been interested in psychology.

Effective lighting kits don’t have to be expensive

By Mike Yoder myoder@ljworld.com

In last week’s column I mentioned using household table lights as a possible source of illumination to re-photograph prints or other hard-copy documents.

It is a make-do solution only and not one I recommend if you plan on doing a lot of tabletop photography or have a growing interest in photographing other subjects requiring artificial lighting.

A better solution is to invest in a light kit. The simplest and cheapest, which will suffice for many situations, consists of a floodlight with a reflector, an umbrella and a light stand. It’s an excellent way to begin experimenting with studio and location lighting. I recommend this

approach instead of using a flash for the simple reason that a floodlight kit provides continuous light. This means you can see exactly how your light falls on a subject as you take the photograph.

Flash and strobe light strikes subjects in a fraction of a second, providing you with no visual evidence of how the light is landing on your subject. Only when you review your image on your monitor or in a print will you know if you were successful. With a floodlight’s continuous illumination you can easily control and visualize your light. In my daily work I use flash equipment, but that’s mainly because it’s more portable and after years of working with them I have a good idea of how the light will fall on a subject.

But even my least-expensive flash is

a plus-$200 model and requires batteries. A basic one-floodlight kit is cheaper and can be powered at any AC outlet.

B&H Photo sells one such kit by the company Impact. It consists of a ceramic socket with wooden handle, a 12-inch aluminum reflector, 42-inch umbrella and bracket, a light stand with maximum extension to six feet, and a 500 watt 3,200-degrees Kelvin bulb all for $74.95.

While this outfit would be good for many situations, I suggest getting two. While you can cover many subjects with a nice soft light from one floodlight bounced through an umbrella, you will always be stuck with light falling from one direction only. Less light will fall on the side

FOR A FULLY-EQUIPPED HOME STUDIO, this three-light set-up would handle many subjects with a variety of lighting possibilities. But even a one kit, with floodlight, umbrella and stand, would go along ways in establishing an inexpenPlease see LENS, page 11C sive home studio.
