Better approach urged to combat elderly abuse

‘Bomb squads aren’t cowboys’

Team from Overland Park brings cautious approach on every call

“Your hands are going to be said Dawkins nonchalantly, explaining that the technicians need their hands free to use tools.

But the task of the squad, which was called to Lawrence twice on the same day recently, is usually not the stuff seen in movies.

“Bomb squads aren’t cowboys,” said Dawkins, citing the 2008 movie “The Hurt Locker,” which featured a rogue — and not terribly cautious — bomb technician played by Oscarnominee Jeremy Renner.

In real life it’s much more methodical, said squad

Overland Park Bomb Squad technician Jim Dawkins showed off the team’s “bomb suit” before Wednesday’s Kansas University men’s basketball game.

leader Sgt. Russ Stamer.

Since the Overland Park team’s start in the 1970s, no one from the squad has been seriously injured on a call.

The seven-member team, all Overland Park police officers, approaches a call step by step.

It often starts with a member of the public reporting a suspicious package. The Overland Park crew is one of seven bomb squads in the Kansas City metro area that can be called by authorities looking for trained explosives experts.

When the team was called by Lawrence police following a report of a suspicious package near the Douglas County Justice Center on Jan. 25, they cleared the area and sent in its $280,000 bomb robot, technically known as an Andro F6B. The team just calls it the robot.

The machine is equipped with cameras, listening devices and a claw that can grasp something as small as a pen, as team member Mark Vargo demonstrates outside of Allen Fieldhouse Please see BOMB, page 2A

An advocate for Kansas nursing home residents and their families says communities need to take a more comprehensive approach to help prevent abuse.

“We’ve got the tools. We just need to use them and better coordinate among all of the players,” said Margaret Farley, board president of the nonprofit Kansas Advocates for Better Care.

School funding, concealed carry, state pension system discussed at Eggs and Issues

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

Douglas County legislators differed sharply over school finance, taxes, concealed carry and election law Saturday, mirroring the contentious debates dominating the 2012 legislative session.

The panel of legislators talked about the session and took questions in front of about 75 people at the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce Eggs and Issues breakfast at

the Eldridge Hotel.

Democrats criticized Gov. Sam Brownback’s proposed school funding overhaul, saying it would lock into place school budgets that had already been severely cut the past few years, force local property tax increases and eliminate a key component of school finance that provides additional funding to educate children who are disadvantaged.

“This is a disaster for our urban school districts,” state

school boards more authority on how to spend funds and whether to raise local taxes to help pay for costs. Gregory, however, parted ways with Brownback on his plan to have teachers evaluated based on student performance and input from supervisors, peers, parents and students, and then posting the grades on a website. “I think it stinks,” she said of that plan.

tions of physical and sexual abuse nationally in nursing homes and care facilities are on the rise, but she suspects many incidents still go unreported. Researchers have also found these types of sexual assault cases present their own challenges for care providers, investigators and families.

Time is about to be up for a group of community members who have been tasked to decided which of Lawrence’s elementary schools should close.

The Lawrence school board last year appointed the Central and East Lawrence Elementary School Consolidation Working Group.

Members were to recommend a way to reduce six elementary schools — Cordley, Hillcrest, Kennedy, New York, Pinckney and Sunset Hill — down to three or four within the next two years.

The deadline for the recommendation, which has already been extended once,

DEATHS WALTER E. SIMPSON Memorial service for Walter E. Simpson, 90, Lawrence, will be held Friday, Feb. 10 at 11:00 a.m. at First United Methodist Church, 10th & Vermont in Lawrence. Private inurnment at Oak Hill Cemetery.

Reverend Simpson died on Feb. 2 at Pioneer Ridge Retirement Community. He was born March 7, 1921 at Mina, South Dakota, a son of Reverend John F. and Lovenah (Reisdorph) Simpson.

He grew up in the plains of South Dakota, attending grade schools at Houghton, Avon and Pollock. He graduated from high school at Mitchell in 1939. He attended college at Miltonvale, Kansas and at Indiana Wesleyan University (Marion College in those days), earning the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Religion degrees.

He was united in marriage to Madalyn R. Johnson of Ponca City, Oklahoma in 1946. They celebrated 64 years together, 44 in ministry. Madalyn preceded him in death last year.

Reverend Simpson was a pastor for 10 years in the Wesleyan Methodist denomination. His first parish was in Baker, Montana. He also served churches in Brookings and Aberdeen, South Dakota, and in South Troy, Minnesota before joining the United Methodist Church and coming to Kansas. He built and established a Wesleyan church, which continues today, in the Black Hills of South Dakota in the town of Belle Fourche.

Vargo, controlling the robot with a gigantic and complicated-looking joystick, would normally be sitting inside the van with the other members watching on a monitor as the robot checks out the suspicious object.

Relying on the experience of the technicians, all of whom spent six weeks training in Huntsville, Ala., learning all about explosives, they make a collective decision.

“They’ll all sit down, and they’ll all have their own opinions about it,” Stamer said.

“And they’ll come up with the safest way to handle it.”

found authorities investigated 86 cases of sexual violence against elderly and disabled nursing home residents in Chicago over a 2.5-year period, but only one of those cases resulted in an arrest.

Bill Skepnek, another Lawrence attorney, last month filed a lawsuit on behalf of the family of Jean S. Allen, a former resident of Brandon Woods at Alvamar, 1501 Inverness Drive. The suit alleges the Lawrence retirement center’s staff attempted to conceal from authorities, medical professionals and her family that a nursing aide allegedly sexually assaulted the 87-year-old woman in October 2010 in her room.

Brandon Woods officials have denied the lawsuit’s allegations. The officials said they protected Allen while she was in their care.

Allen has since died. Douglas County authorities have said a criminal investigation in the case is no longer ongoing. No one was arrested or charged in the case.

Sara Arif, a Kansas Department on Aging spokeswoman, said the alleged incident in the suit was reported to her agency, but any findings by the department could not

ROBERT L. ‘B Memorial services for Robert L. “Bob” Stewart, 93, Lawrence, will be held 3 p.m., Wednesday, February 8, 2012 at Centenary United Methodist Church in Lawrence. His body has been donated to the Kansas University Medical Center.

Bob died February 3, 2012 at Brandon Woods at Alvamar in Lawrence.

He was born on March 9, 1918 in Lyons, KS the oldest son of Harry L. and Esther (Hamilton) Stewart.

Bob started working at age 9 helping the Trent brothers with their paper route where he met his sweetheart for life, their sister Annis.

After serving in the Marines during WWII, Bob worked at many jobs over his years, mostly insurance or real estate sales. One transferred him and his family from Hutchinson to Lawrence where he spent the rest of his life. After his retirement he found the perfect job for himself. He became a handy man for the PerryLecompton schools. He later became the handy man for the Pi Beta Phi house at KU until he retired for the last time due to his and Annis’s bad health.

Bob was a Jefferson County volunteer fireman for several years. He also was a volunteer treasurer for a Jefferson County rural township. He was a member of Centenary United Methodist Church and American Legion at Perry, KS. Bob was predeceased by his wife who died of Al-

elder in the Kansas East Conference of the United Methodist Church from 1957-1991.

His Kansas churches were: Perry, Simpson Bonner Springs, and Seneca-Oneida.

In Kansas City, Kansas, he served Seventh Street and Wesley United Methodist churches. He also enjoyed a 4-month interim at Central United Methodist in Lawrence, KS. When he retired at age 70, he and Madalyn moved to Lawrence. For 8 years, he served the community faithfully as driver of the Douglas County Senior Services van.

Survivors include: two daughters, Teresa Kay Craver, Perry, KS and Joy Simpson, Kansas City, MO; one son, Stephen E. Simpson, Atlanta; two brothers, Franklin Simpson, Rapid City, South Dakota and Dr. David Simpson, Birmingham, Alabama; four grandchildren, Christine Simpson, Julia & Angela Zinn, and Brielle Simpson.

The family will greet friends at Warren-McElwain Mortuary, 13th and Vermont in Lawrence, KS on Thurs., Feb. 9 from 4:00 – 6:30.

The family suggests memorials to First United Methodist Church, Lawrence, KS, or to Perry United Methodist Church – sent in care of the mortuary.

area and detonate it if they suspect it’s an explosive.

When the team was in Lawrence, members scoped out South Park, preselecting it as a detonation spot.

Fortunately, the package by the courthouse was not an explosive, and they sent in a member in a bomb suit to handle the package after the robot cleared it.

About half the calls the squad responds to turn up nothing dangerous, Stamer said. For instance, in 2011 only 13 of the 29 calls contained some form of dangerous element, whether it be a small pipe bomb or hazardous materials.

Still, not knowing what you could find provides an adrenaline rush.

Stamer said he’s driven by “the excitement. You never know what you’re going to find.”

Ask the other members and they cite other motivations for

being on the bomb squad, such as the camaraderie among the team and the chance to help out. The team responds and provides its services, which also includes education and public outreach, free of charge to local police departments, as the program is funded through the FBI. But with the slight possibility that a mistake could be made, and something could blow up at any time, Dawkins gives a somewhat surprising reason why he enjoys the bomb squad.

“I think you have a whole lot more control here than you do in the street,” said Dawkins, an 11-year bomb squad veteran.

It’s not really dangerous, “if you know what you’re doing,” he said. Plus, “you get better stories out of it.”

be released because federal health privacy laws.

Skepnek said the allegations in the suit are meant to put the spotlight on the issue of care for elderly Kansans.

Advocates for sexual assault prevention say these types of cases do present difficult circumstances for victims and investigators.

“People who perpetrate sexual assaults go after people who are vulnerable,” said Joyce Grover, executive director of the Kansas Coalition Against Sexual and Domestic Violence. “This is a vulnerable population, and it’s a population that’s going to find it difficult to report and talk about.”

Arif said the agency was not required to provide statistics about the number of sexual assault reports in nursing homes because the reports are confidential and not subject to open records acts.

A 2008 study by the National Clearinghouse on Abuse in Later Life reviewed 284 cases nationally of alleged sexual assault against the elderly and found that 94 percent of the victims were woman ages 60 to 100. Other findings: # In 250 cases, 72 percent of the alleged assaults occurred in private home, while 23 percent occurred in facilities. # About one-third of the cases were reported by the

victims; 20.6 percent by health care works; and 12 percent each by social workers and family members. # Fewer than half of the cases were referred for a forensic rape examination. In 20 cases, actions were taken to destroy evidence, including washing of the victim’s bedding and clothing. # In 226 cases, there were 180 identified offenders, 99 of which were referred to prosecutors. Of those, 17 went to trial and resulted in convictions; eight resulted in acquittals; and 11 were resolved by plea agreements.

Farley, of Kansas Advocates for Better Care, said nursing and assisted-living facilities have policies and procedures in place not only regarding monitoring and caring for patients but also on their hiring practices. She worries that facilities are often understaffed, which can create problems. She also said better coordination among medical care providers, police, prosecutors and nursing home staff members would be beneficial.

“It’s shocking when they do (occur),” Farley said, “and we as a society need to make sure that we are dedicating proper resources in preventing it.”

dation to pass, only one of the school groups and another voting member could oppose it. Stacey White, a Pinckney representative, doesn’t see one proposal garnering that much support.

“My sense is that we probably won’t have consensus on any one idea, but I do think there will be some ideas that have strong support from many members of the group,” she wrote in an email.

A lack of consensus doesn’t preclude a recommendation, White said.

“The best we can hope for might be that we present several different ideas and show how much agreement there was for those ideas within the group,” she wrote.

Early in the process, New York parent Mike Myers said it appeared the group was heading toward the scenario of consolidating New York and Kennedy and building a new school. The two schools have the district’s highest population of students from low-income households.

“My guess is early on there was some thought that it would be an easy solution to make the poor side of town do the heavy lifting,” Myers said. “But I don’t see it turning out that way.”

Myers also sees some members moving toward the recommendation of not closing any school, which goes against their mission.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY

As President Barack Obama continues to tout new policies designed to keep college costs down, Kansas University’s provost said the university is undertaking its own measures.

The president outlined his proposals in his recent State of the Union speech and in other speeches and news accounts afterward.

“We are putting colleges on notice — you can’t keep — you can’t assume that you’ll just jack up tuition every single year,”

Obama said in a speech last week at the University of Michigan. “If you can’t stop tuition from going up, then the funding you get from taxpayers each year will go down.”

So far, details of specific proposals haven’t been distributed.

Awards to honor Lawrence’s unsung heroes

Defense: ATF sting targeted black males WICHITA — A bogus pawn shop operated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives targeted black males during a months-long firearms sting operation that was racially motivated, a defense attorney claimed in a court filing seeking to dismiss charges against his client.

But the government in its own filing Friday denied that investigators and prosecutors were motivated by “impermissible considerations” or bad faith. Prosecutors urged U.S. District Judge Monti Belot to reject the defense request for an evidentiary hearing.

The legal dustup comes in the case of Chico Davis, who faces a 20-count indictment that includes multiple charges of being a felon in possession of a firearm as well as charges of methamphetamine, marijuana and crack cocaine distribution.

Davis is among at least 51 people arrested in an undercover operation at the ATF’s Bandit Trading pawn shop.

the president was calling for an increase of available funds for federal Perkins loans to $8 billion from the current $1 billion.

Also, he wants to create a competition similar to a “Race to the Top” program for elementary and secondary education, where

Consecrate, subjugate, ethanol, ubiquitous and contiguous.

Those are just a few of the words Emma Steimle was able to spell correctly, helping her win the firstplace trophy at the Douglas County

Spelling Bee on Saturday.

“When I spelled a word, I was really nervous,” Emma said. “I studied a lot. My mom printed off tons and tons of lists, and we practiced them.”

Emma is an eighth-grader at West Middle School. She prepared for the event by studying a list of words she found on the Scripps National Spelling Bee website. She has been prepar-

ing for the event since the sixth grade.

Back then, she had made it as a finalist in the Douglas County Spelling Bee, becoming one of the last 10 students standing until she was knocked out of the contest by misspelling “anachronism.” She remembers the word that sent her home clearly.

We’re looking for folks who give a hand to someone who’s less fortunate or to someone who’s younger or to someone who just needs a boost.

states that keep costs down are rewarded and another $55 million competition for individual colleges to increase their value and efficiency, the Times reported.

Another reported change would require colleges and universities to offer a “shopping sheet” with information about financial aid, and offering post-graduate earning and employment information.

If passed into law, the effect those proposals might have on a university like KU remains to be seen.

Tuition at KU continues to increase each year, but KU Provost Jeff Vitter said the university is working on ways to help people afford — Higher education reporter Andy Hyland can be reached at 832-6388. Follow him college. at Twitter.com/LJW_KU. The university is Vitter pursuing agreements with community colleges to work on better ways to help people transition from two-year schools (with much lower tuition costs) to KU. KU is working to improve its retention and graduation rates, Vitter said.

“If you graduate in four years, and on time, that saves money,” he said.

Vitter said KU’s tuition and fees — just more than $9,200 per year for an incoming Kansas freshman this year and around $22,500 for a nonresident freshman — were among the lowest of KU’s peers in the Association of American Universities.

“We are very much committed to keeping the KU education affordable,” Vitter said. “And if you look at what it provides, it’s an amazing bargain.”

It’s a challenging environment, too, he said, as other institutions are taking federal grant and loan dollars.

“We’ve had a lot of issues with for-profit institutions using these resources in ways that have not been productive,“ Vitter said. “That’s a real problem.”

Spelling bee

RILEY PARADISE, OF SAINT JOHN MIDDLE SCHOOL, prepares to spell a word out loud at the Douglas County Spelling Bee at on Saturday.

And the word that kept her from coming to the Douglas County Spelling Bee the year after — “inoculate” — is indelibly imprinted in her memory, too.

But instead of sending her home, the word she’ll remember this year — “propinquity” — earned her a spot in the regional championship in Topeka.

Milo Schoenen, who earned second place, will also participate in the regional spelling bee.

A sixth-grader at Southwest Middle School, Milo spelled “acolyte” and “susceptible” correctly in the final two rounds.

“I like to read, but I didn’t really study,” Milo said. “I just sort of remember how words are spelled.”

Richard Gwin/Journal-World Photo

Milo attributes a lot of luck to his placement in the spelling bee, saying there were a few rounds where he happened to get good words he was familiar with. But now that he is going to the regional event March 3 in Topeka, he says he will probably do some studying.

The spelling bee lasted 14 rounds, and by the last few rounds many spellers were fatigued but excited, stifling yawns, stretching arms and

leviate the college affordability issue: publicly subsidized savings accounts for children.

William Elliott III and Deborah Adams recommend taking $3 billion from the Perkins program and using it to establish a program where public funds would match money contributed by families, charities and organizations for an individual child’s account.

“We have a student loan debt problem,” Elliott said, suggesting that other measures should supplement a student loan.

The savings account proposal would match Obama’s aims, too, Adams said.

“I don’t think these tools are divergent; I think they’re complementary,” she said.

Of course, she said, getting such a proposal through Congress — as with anything — could be a difficult fight.

“Everyone competing here today are already the top spellers of the whole county,” said Adrian Jacobs, the coordinator for this year’s spelling bee. “I know a couple of kids were up there today had temperatures (but still participated). … The kids are really passionate about their spelling.”

who serves as the ranking Democrat on the Senate tax committee, said Brownback’s proposed tax changes would hurt the middle class. Brownback has proposed lowering income tax rates, eliminating numerous deductions and making permanent a temporary sales tax hike that is set to expire next year.

A proposal that would allow concealed carry permit holders to bring their guns into public buildings and on college campuses also drew sharp differences.

State Rep. Anthony Brown, R-Eudora, said he supported the idea. Brown said that his daughter was about to attend college and that there was no way a school could guarantee her safety.

Mah said that she supported the law that allowed concealed carry of guns but added that she thought local officials should have the authority to determine whether to allow them in public buildings and campuses. “The notion that you’re not safe unless someone in the room is packing heat, that’s just nuts,” she said.

House Democratic Leader Paul Davis of Lawrence said the most significant issue facing the Legislature is how to resolve the unfunded actuarial liability within the public pension system.

He said the current proposal, supported by Brownback, to change the defined contribution system to more like a 401(k)-style plan does not address the underlying unfunded liability. State Rep. Tom Sloan, R-Lawrence, said the state had a moral obligation to maintain pension benefits to those already vested in the system.

Panel discusses effect February Sisters had on women’s rights at KU

By Alex Garrison

“

The results of their actions were positive It was a Friday. C.J. Brune changes for women on remembers because she felt this campus.” relief the week was over. acgarrison@ljworld.com

But then, right after she got home and started on an already-late English paper, she got a call: Meet me at this address — she’d later find out it was 1322 La.— and bring enough clothes for a week.

“Having been involved in activist causes for some time, I was used to clandestine messages,” she said. “But this one took the cake.”

Brune arranged care for her two children, put aside her homework and walked into history.

On Feb. 4, 1972, a snowy, frigid Friday, about 35 women, with four children in tow, occupied a small house on Louisiana Street, then the home to the East Asian Studies Department. From the start, they referred to themselves as the February Sisters, and by the end of that night 40 years ago, they emerged from the house challenging Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmers with six demands: ! An affirmative action program for women, run by women. ! A day care center paid for with student fees. ! That a woman be appointed to the then-vacant position of vice chancellor of academic affairs. ! An end to pay differences based on gender. ! A women’s studies department. ! A women’s health program, providing access to birth control.

At a panel discussion on Saturday at the Spencer Museum of Art, three women who were in the house — Brune, Mary Coral and Christine Smith — as well as three former KU professors who actively engaged in women’s rights at the time — Beth Schultz, Marilyn Stokstad and Betty Banks — discussed the sisters’ history and what it means to be a feminist today.

“We had peaceful demands

— Elizabeth Miller, recent doctoral graduate in American studies

that effected immediate, long-lasting change,” Schultz said, praising the collective action and civil disobedience of the sisters, who got Chalmers to agree to their demands between 5 a.m. and 6 a.m. that Saturday.

The audience of about 100 was diverse — men and women, young and old — but all seemed to have an appreciation of the sisters’ work in progressing women’s rights.

“The results of their actions were positive changes for women on this campus,” Elizabeth Miller, recent doctoral graduate in American studies, said.

The sisters inspired another generation of women activists, including Carla Tilghman, who said that many younger women don’t realize the work done in the 1970s and also that “we’re not done yet” with advancing women’s issues.

Some of the women on the panel pointed to perceived threats to birth control access in Kansas. But Brune was hopeful, in a way, that a challenge might spark renewed interest in activism.

“I think the women’s movement is growing again,” she said. “It has to. Women’s rights are being attacked in every state.”

Despite the challenges, Coral’s message for current activists was upbeat, reflective of the successes of the sisters, including the founding of the women’s studies academic department and Hilltop Development Center.

“Know that you can make a change,” she said.

Project lets Kansas students find Civil War graves TOPEKA — Middle school students across Kansas are being encouraged to learn more about their history and communities by searching local cemeteries for the graves of Civil War veterans.

The two-year program, which started last week, is called “Sleeping Heroes: The Impact of Civil War Veterans on Kansas Communities.”

“This isn’t unique, but it is personal to me,” Attorney General Derek Schmidt said during a kickoff of the event at Memorial Hall in Topeka. “This is a terrific project.”

Schmidt is a descendant of Peter Schmidt, who served in the Civil War and then settled

in the Independence area.

Kansas was known at the time as the Soldier State because so many veterans homesteaded in the state, The Topeka Capital-Journal reported.

Don Lambert, a humanities consultant who was instrumental in starting “Sleeping Heroes,” said the project was sparked by students in Glasco.

During a 2006 school project, they found 83 Civil war veterans buried in the cemetery of the north-central town of 500 residents. Their research became a book and was designated by the History Channel as one of the 10 best projects of the year, Glasco teacher Brenda Berndt said.

Political lines A plan that makes relatively minor changes to the state’s 2nd Congressional District has spurred a major political reaction.

T

he reaction to a plan approved by a Kansas Senate committee to redraw the boundaries for the state’s four congressional districts is a vivid reminder of why redistricting often is referred to as the Kansas Legislature’s most political task.

The map approved by the Senate Reapportionment Committee last week draws clean, regional lines and splits only three counties. The 3rd District includes all of Johnson and Wyandotte counties and a small portion of Leavenworth County. The 2nd District wraps around the 3rd to include all of the eastern tier of counties. The 4th District includes 16 south-central counties with Wichita at its hub. Because of continued population declines in western Kansas, the “big 1st” District is even bigger covering all of western and north central Kansas.

The shifts that have gotten the most attention in the map have involved the homes of the state’s largest universities. Under How these the proposed map, lines are drawn Manhattan and Riley County would obviously is move from the 2nd important to District into the 1st, political interests and Douglas Counin the state, but in ty, which was split a state the size of between the 2nd Kansas, the things and 3rd districts, would move entirethat divide the ly into the 2nd. state are less Manhattan had important than wanted to stay in the 2nd District, the things that but that would be should unite it.” difficult to achieve without drawing a far messier map. One plan that would have kept Manhattan in the 2nd wrapped the 1st District across the northern counties in the state and dipped down to include Wyandotte County.

The plan forwarded to the whole Senate last week almost certainly isn’t the final map, and there may be reasonable alternatives that could keep Manhattan in the 2nd, but one that splits the Kansas City metropolitan counties of Johnson and Wyandotte and puts a totally urban county like Wyandotte into the largely rural 1st District doesn’t make a lot of sense.

From the constituents’ standpoint, how congressional lines are drawn makes some difference but not as much as some may think. Ten years ago, Lawrence residents were dismayed when the city was divided between the 2nd and 3rd districts, but having two members of Congress paying at least some attention to Lawrence and Kansas University didn’t turn out to be such a bad thing. Reuniting Douglas County in the 2nd District also makes sense and respects the county as a “community of interest” that should remain together.

However, from a political standpoint, putting all of Douglas County in the 2nd District apparently is a very big deal. Even though the Senate committee’s map would only shift the political makeup in the 2nd District by a couple of percentage points, the plan was decried by the chairman of the Kansas Republican Party as “a coldly calculated attempt to create a Democratic 2nd Congressional District to the detriment of the dean of our congressional delegation.” The “dean” refers to U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins, who currently represents the 2nd District.

The chairman of the Kansas Chamber Political Action Committee used the map to broadly attack certain Republican senators, saying, “This map hurts Republicans and helps President Obama’s agenda. Just the latest example of why we need a new state Senate.” The chairman of the Senate Reapportionment Committee, Sen. Tim Owens of Overland Park, is one of several moderate Republican senators targeted for ouster by the Kansas Chamber’s PAC, which already has contributed $1,000 to support Owens’ Republican primary opponent.

As we said, it’s the most political thing the Legislature does. How these lines are drawn obviously is important to political interests in the state, but in a state the size of Kansas, the things that divide the state are less important than the things that should unite it.

It’s understandable that incumbents want to protect their districts, but no matter how the final lines are drawn, all of our members of Congress should be working together for the benefit of the entire state.

‘Soul Train’ host’s death spurs memory This was for us.

And that was a new thing, so we gathered faithfully to the television as that hard-working cartoon engine chugged across the screen, rainbow smoke pouring from its stack, the announcer calling us to order once upon a Saturday. This was “Sooooooul Train,” he said, darn near yodeling the name, “the hippest trip in America, 60 nonstop minutes across the tracks of your mind, with guest stars ...”

And oh, the guest stars ...

Gladys Knight, slinky and gorgeous lip syncing “Friendship Train” as the Pips whirled behind her; the Jackson 5 rocking “Dancing Machine,” Michael gliding as if to make a liar out of Newton; Marvin Gaye, so besotted by some nubile young dancer he forgot to lip sync “Let’s Get It On.” Or maybe the guest was someone little remembered now, someone who flashed and faded — Jean Knight, Enchantment or the Honey Cone — but who owned a moment and marked it indelibly.

“Soul Train” host Don Cornelius died Wednesday at his home in Los Angeles, apparently a sui-

cide at the age of 75. If you are black and of a certain age, that news likely stunned you back to a time when the only things wider than your Afro were your lapels, your favorite movie was “Shaft” or “Cooley High” and there was a stack of 45s next to the turntable on your dresser.

“Soul Train,” which Cornelius created in 1970, was essentially a black “American Bandstand,” but to leave it at that is to miss its truest import.

This was for us, those of us

who were young and black and coming of age in the post civil rights years.

Don’t take that wrong. “Soul Train” was not exclusionary.

White kids joined the “Soul Train gang,” that crew of dancers whose angular athleticism was like nothing you’d ever seen on television. White artists — Elton John, David Bowie, Gino Vannelli — played its stage. Young whites like Wolf Isaac Blitzer from Buffalo were among its many fans.

And yet, this was something especially for us. We knew it from the Afro Sheen commercials (where else on television did they advertise Afro Sheen?), from the fashions the dancers wore and from the way Cornelius took our slang and gave it back to us, stylized and made somehow profound by his cool announcer’s baritone. “Here’s a big’un we’re sho’nuff diggin’,” he would say, announcing some new tune by James Brown or the Dramatics. Dick Clark didn’t talk like that.

And then, there was his signature signoff: “Join us next week on most of these same stations,

and you can bet your last money, it’s all gonna be a stone gas, honey. I’m Don Cornelius and as always in parting, we wish you love, peace ... and soul!”

Soul being that beat, that authenticity, that depth of spirit, that hip swagger we felt made us unique. We were something new, the promise of the civil rights years made manifest in polyester pants and towering Afros — and here, for the first time on television, was something for us.

If you are white and television has always been for you, if you are black and cannot recall a time before BET, Centric and TV One, you likely cannot appreciate what a revelation that was. If you are black and of a certain age, you cannot forget it.

And you understand why there is really only one fitting farewell for Donald Cortez Cornelius.

May he rest in love, peace ... and soul.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Feb. 5, 1912: YEARS “The gas presAGO sure, that generIN 1912 ally useful topic for conversation, weakened Saturday night and in extreme West Lawrence there was no gas at all. As was given out by the Gas company the pressure has been reduced to eight pounds and would remain at that as long as the excessive cold weather lasted. Saturday night people sat about their stoves or grates or remained downstairs watching the furnace, seeing the gas go down before their very eyes. All Saturday night in West Lawrence the gas had to be watched for fear the pressure would be turned on again unexpectedly.”

Capitalist system promotes change In the basement of the newspaper where I worked during the summers of my youth was a prodigious printing press, a rumbling monster that looked like the engine of a Mississippi River steamboat. Pressmen, their faces and hands smeared with ink, swarmed over it with screwdrivers and wrenches to keep it running. On the floor above them, operators typed at keyboards to produce the actual metal type from which the paper was printed. Those jobs and the printing press itself are gone now, destroyed by technology.

Newspapers — and journalists themselves — are also endangered species, their existence threatened by the Internet.

High school nerds in those days brandished devices known as slide rules, which facilitated mathematical calculations. Electronic gadgets have made slide rules obsolete, depriving nerds of their symbolic weapons and slide rule makers of their jobs.

The Manor Bread man, who delivered baked goods to our house in a horse drawn van, is also gone, and so is the milkman, gone the way of the dodo. (The gallows and the guillotine have yielded to the gas chamber and the electric chair, though some might not call that progress.)

“

Global competition will do for us what we lack the courage and unselfishness to do.”

Numberless trades and businesses have vanished in my lifetime, throwing millions out of work. Where have the makers of buggy whips gone? For that matter, whatever happened to Studebaker, Packer, Nash, Hudson, Stanley Steamer, Kaiser, Frazier and all the other automobile makers who drove buggy makers out of business and are now themselves defunct? Why didn’t the government bail them out as it recently bailed out GM? “Capitalists quite often invent the technology that destroys their own business,” according to an essay in “The Economist.” Kodak, which built one of the first digital cameras and was “the Google of its day,” has

filed for bankruptcy. President Obama recently grieved over the loss of bank teller jobs to the ATM machine. The average life of American businesses is supposedly forty years. Jobs are destroyed, and new jobs are created. That’s progress. But it’s also part of the “creative destruction,” which gives capitalism a bad name.

Which brings us to poor Mitt Romney. He couldn’t possibly have picked a more unfortunate profession than “private equity manager” to decorate his resume for a run to the presidency. Job Destroyer! Vulture Capitalist!

Predatory Corporate Raider! To top it off, he blurted out, “I like being able to fire people.” He might as well have said, “I enjoy watching children starve to death.” What gaffes might he issue from the Oval Office: “I like to drop bombs on hospitals”?

Regardless of how many jobs Romney created or destroyed at Bain Capital, no matter if he was engaged in charity on behalf of mankind, there’s just no way to sell the benefits of capitalism to the tender-hearted American public. “Voters and politicians don’t believe jobs should ever be destroyed,” one writer observed. If jobs were protected from destruction, we’d still be

making buggy whips and enjoying a mirage of “social justice” — along with a lower standard of living. But wouldn’t buggy whip jobs help solve the unemployment problem? Sure, just like the “green jobs” our entrepreneurial government has promised to pull out of its magical hat.

I have no opinion on Romney’s fitness for the presidency.

But I am certain that none of the candidates, including Obama, has any intention of addressing our economic problems, including our Byzantine tax code, unsustainable entitlements and regulatory briar patch. Politicians aren’t going to reform anything — and we would howl if they did. Reform would cost the politicians votes and endanger our precious entitlements. We’d rather console ourselves with promises that can’t be kept than face the music and tighten our belts.

Not to worry, though. Global competition will do for us what we lack the courage and unselfishness to do. Either we undertake the changes necessary to survive and prosper, or we go the way of the buggy whip, the slide rule and the dodo.

MISSOURI 74, KANSAS 71

Miserable ending

THE MISSOURI DANCE SQUAD AND FANS ERUPT BEHIND KANSAS PLAYERS CONNER TEAHAN, LEFT, and Tyshawn Taylor after a three-pointer by Missouri guard Marcus Denmon put the Tigers up by one late in the second half. MU scored the final 11 points in a 74-71 victory over KU on Saturday in Columbia, Mo.

MU’s 11-0 end run dooms Jayhawks

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

COLUMBIA, MO. — Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self walked dejectedly down a Mizzou Arena hallway late Saturday night, his path crossing that of former NBA 7-footer Will Perdue.

“Will, Will, Will ... we had that game where we wanted it,” Self said, as ESPN Radio color analyst Perdue nodded his head solemnly in agreement.

Self’s Jayhawks, who led by a whopping eight points follow-

ing a baseline dunk by guard Tyshawn Taylor with 3:21 left, didn’t score the rest of the game in falling to Missouri, 74-71.

Taylor and Thomas Robinson had charging calls in the paint during the scoreless streak, and Taylor also missed a pair of free throws during a stretch in which Marcus Denmon exploded for nine of his game-high 29 points.

What happened?

Taylor tries to shoulder blame COLUMBIA, MO. — The other guys score the last 11 points of the game and beat your guys, and you want to scream at somebody. That’s understandable.

But when it’s Tyshawn Taylor you want to scream at, that’s where it gets a whole lot tougher to comprehend.

Taylor aimed enough anger in his own direction after he stumbled to the finish line in Kansas University’s 74-71 loss to Missouri in amped-up Mizzou Arena. He doesn’t need any backup singers piling on.

“I feel like I cost us the game, and that’s a sucky feeling,” Taylor said.

That’s a little harsh from a

Kansas women stumble at A&M J-W Staff and Wire Reports

COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS — Defending national women’s basketball champion Texas A&M is playing itself into Big 12 contention, while Kansas University is quickly falling out of it.

The Aggies beat KU, 62-51, Saturday night for their thirdstraight victory. At 16-5 overall and 7-3 in the Big 12, the 18thranked Aggies are tied for Oklahoma for second place in the league behind undefeated Baylor.

KU, meanwhile, dropped its third straight and fourth of five to fall to 16-6 and 5-5. The Jayhawks are all alone in fifth in the league.

Kelsey Bone had a season-

high 26 points and eight rebounds against the Jayhawks..

“I wish we had a few more games against Kansas, because her two best games against Kansas were her best,” Texas A&M coach Gary Blair said. “She’s starting to know when to pull it out or make that pass in there.

It’s taken her awhile to realize what a shot is, what a good shot is and what a great shot is.”

Sydney Carter added 15 points for Texas A&M (16-5, 7-3).

“It’s nice to finally get chemistry with this team,” Carter said.

“We’ve been waiting so long Stuart Villanueva/AP Photo to say we’re clicking and we’re gelling.

guy who without question was the best player in the game in the first half, a guy who scored 21 points, made nine of 15 field goals, knocked down a pair of three-pointers and defended Missouri point guard Phil Pressey so well that he had more turnovers (three) than points (two).

A selfish player might have taken his 17 points into the second half and tried to see how many he could score.

Taylor took a smarter path, fed teammate Thomas Robinson and watched him carry Kansas to a big lead, and then Taylor scored what to that point was the team’s biggest bucket.

Taylor freed himself with one of his too-quick-to-see moves on a baseline drive punctuated with a dunk that put Kansas up, 71-63, with 3:24 left.

After that, Missouri couldn’t do much wrong, Taylor and his teammates couldn’t do much right, and the arena that was Please see KEEGAN, page 5B

INDIANAPOLIS — Former Kansas City Chiefs offensive tackle Willie Roaf joined running back Curtis Martin and three other linemen as the newest players elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday, along with one senior committee choice.

Roaf spent one season at right tackle, then the rest of his 13 seasons on the left side, making 11 Pro Bowls.

He made the All-Decade team for the 1990s.

Former Chiefs guard Will Shields didn’t get in — the only first-year eligible player Roaf to make the 15-man finals.

Shields started all but one of the 224 games in his 14 seasons in Kansas City.

Martin is the fourth-leading rusher in NFL history. He and Roaf are joined by Chris Doleman, Cortez Kennedy, Dermontti Dawson, and senior selection Jack Butler.

Jerome Bettis, Cris Carter and Bill Parcells were among the finalist who didn’t make it.

A panel of 44 media members voted. The inductions are in early August in Canton, Ohio.

Martin made it for his consistency and durability, rushing for 14,101 and 90 touchdowns.

HIGH SCHOOL SWIMMING AND DIVING

Free State fourth, LHS sixth at league meet

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

OLATHE — Free State High’s boys swimming team had its sights set on third place at the Sunflower League Championships Saturday at Mission Trail Middle School.

The Firebirds came eight points shy of attaining that goal, but there was an appealing consolation prize waiting for them at the end of the two-day meet. The FSHS 400-yard freestyle relay team of Canaan Campbell, Connor Munk, Nick Becker and Ben Sloan closed the championships with a league title.

Finishing fourth in the team standings — behind league champ Shawnee Mission East, runner-up Olathe East and third-place Olathe

like the back of our hands.

We carried that so long, it was a key reason why we won last year.”

The Aggies never trailed, but saw a big second-half lead dwindle to four points with less than two minutes remaining. A three-point play by Bone extended the lead to 58-51.

A steal by Tyra White gave the Aggies the ball back after that, and Carter added a pair of free throws. A layup by Bone after another turnover

by Kansas made it 62-51 with 42 seconds left.

The Jayhawks received 11 points each from Angel Goodrich and Aishah Sutherland.

Carolyn Davis, who entered the game averaging a team-leading 18.1 points a game, was limited to six points after getting into early foul trouble dealing with Bone.

“She was getting deep catches and at that point any great post player can score,” Davis, who had 10 rebounds, said of Bone. “With my defensive pressure, I should have been able to get in front to of her.”

Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson was disappointed that Davis picked up her third foul less than one minute into the second half, which changed the way she could handle Bone.

“She got deep, and Carolyn got in foul trouble and then she’s hesitant,” Henrickson said. “We’ve got to get into somebody a little bit harder and make them put the ball on the floor. Bone got right in front of the rim and got high percentage shots.”

Texas A&M was up by 17 points early in the second half before Kansas used a 22-10 run to get to 50-45 with about seven minutes remain-

Northwest — didn’t seem quite so bad after that.

Said Free State coach Annette McDonald: “That made it OK. That made it all worth it.”

The final event lacked much drama, as Free State led from start to finish. That was fine with Sloan and his teammates.

“The goal going into it was just to get out as far as we could and maintain that,” Sloan said. “So we did that very well.”

The 400 free relay quickly became the highlight of the weekend for FSHS, Campbell said, because the swimmers raced in the lane next to their friends and rivals from Lawrence High (who finished third in the race and sixth in the team standings) and beat O-East by more than two seconds.

“It’s definitely a good way to end the meet,” Campbell

BRIEFLY KU women place 7th at NYC track meet NEW YORK — Kansas University senior thrower Elena Krechyk set a KU record in the weight throw, and the women’s team placed seventh on Saturday at the New Balance Collegiate Invitational.

The Kansas men’s team placed 20th.

“There are definitely some areas where we can improve, but I thought it was great getting experience against a different class of athletes,” KU coach Stanley Redwine said. “We had a lot of personal best and people moving into the KU topfive lists. Still with that, we need to be looking to place higher at these types of meets.”

Krechyk finished as the runner-up at the invitational, but she broke her own record, which she set last week at the Jayhawk Classic. With her throw of 20.42 meters Saturday, she is the first woman in KU history to break the 20-meter mark in the event.

The Jayhawks will travel to two separate meets on Friday. The distance runners

and horizontal jumpers will compete in the Husky Classic in Seattle, while the rest of the team will travel to the Tyson Invitational in Fayetteville, Ark.

Kansas swimmers lose dual to Iowa St. AMES, IOWA — The Kansas University swimming and diving team lost a close meet to Iowa State on Saturday, 158-142, in the final dual of the regular season.

KU junior Brooke Brull won the 150 backstroke, senior Shannon Garlie finished first in the 400 free, sophomore Sophiia Filatova took first in the 50 fly and senior Stephanie Payne won the 300 IM. “I hope the team is a little disappointed, and I’m sure they are, but with disappointment you can either be bitter or better. Hopefully we can use this to be better in a couple of weeks,” coach Clark Campbell said.

The Jayhawks (5-5, 0-2 Big 12) will prepare for the Big 12 Championships on Feb. 22-25 at the Mizzou Aquatic Center in Columbia, Mo.

said. “It was good to end on that high note.”

The Lions didn’t enjoy that luxury, but senior Zach Andregg made sure LHS went home with some Sunflower League hardware. Andregg captured league titles in both the 100 free and 200 free. Not that doing so was his main focus.

“I wasn’t really concerned with places, just times and how they compare with everybody else’s in other leagues,” Andregg said, thinking ahead to state, which is now less than two weeks away.

Lawrence’s other top performances came in the 200 and 400 free relays, in which Adam Edmonds, Dylan Orth, Reid Hildenbrand and Andregg took third place.

Andregg wasn’t the only

city swimmer to win an individual league crown, either. Sloan won the 100 fly with a time of 51.3 seconds a day after setting Sunflower League and FSHS records in the prelims with a time of 51.11.

McDonald described Sloan’s record time as “very special” and was amazed with the junior’s consistency after he nearly matched the record in the finals.

“He wanted to break it again, but there was nobody to race,” the coach said after Sloan won the 100 fly by more than 3.5 seconds. “He was just racing the clock.”

Sloan also picked up a second-place finish in the 200 IM and set a school record with a time of 1:56.84. He felt pretty good about the finals, calling it an exciting day.

“It helped the team out a lot, so that was good, too,” he said.

There was plenty of success to go around for Free State in the finals. Campbell took second in the 500 free (finishing two-tenths of a second behind Shawnee Mission East’s Zack Holbrook) and third in the 200 free. Munk placed third in the 100 back and sixth in the 200 free, and Kyle Yoder was fifth in the 100 breast.

Plus, two FSHS divers, Dan Krieger and Austin Neidow, advanced out of the prelims Saturday morning to secure their spots among the top 12 divers in the league. Krieger, a junior, placed eighth, and Neidow, a senior, was 12th.

Said McDonald: “I’m really proud of what all the guys did.”

MISSOURI 74, KANSAS 71

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

English discourages ‘rah-rah celebration’

By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

COLUMBIA, MO. — When a few Missouri students ran onto the court after Saturday’s game, MU guard Kim English waved his arms, trying to get them to go back to their seats.

There was a reason, he said.

“We don’t go into games expecting to lose,” the senior guard said following MU’s 74-71 victory over Kansas University. “We prepare to

win. I know how much this rivalry means to our fans, and we want to beat them really bad, because we know how much it means to them.

But this game to us was just a game that we needed to win to continue our quest to win the Big 12.

“So I didn’t want a big ‘rah-rah’ celebration. I didn’t like it when they rushed the court when Zaire (Taylor) made his shot (to beat KU in 2009).”

English was perhaps the least-surprised person in

Mizzou Arena when the Tigers scored the final 11 points to complete the comeback against KU. During a stoppage in play in the final minutes with the Tigers trailing by eight, English looked at his teammates and told them, “We’re going to win this game.”

“That’s something that affected me,” MU guard Marcus Denmon said, “because I understood how much it meant to him to say that.”

English, who was sick enough that he vomited into

a trash can on his way off the court at halftime, finished with 18 points on 5-for-11 shooting.

He also helped hold KU’s Jeff Withey to no points on 0-for-1 shooting in 23 minutes.

“I studied him all week. I studied his tendencies,” English said. “I studied him when (KU forward) Thomas (Robinson) had the ball, because that’s when he’s most dangerous, when Thomas misses shots. I couldn’t help a lot (on others), because I didn’t want him to get any put-backs or anything.”

English even had a little fun with a reporter who asked him why it was so difficult to win on the road in the Big Ten. “The Big Ten would have been really tough. They would have started stalling,” English said with a grin.

“Luckily, we are the Big 12, and we like to play. That’s good.”

The victory held extra significance for Kansas City, Mo., natives Denmon and Michael Dixon.

“Where we come from

in Kansas City, it’s Kansas fans and Missouri fans everywhere,” Dixon said. “You can’t sit here and say this is just an ordinary game, because it’s not.”

MU coach Frank Haith, who was coaching in his first Border War game, said it would be a shame if the KUMU series didn’t continue past this year.

“It’s great for the game to have us play,” Haith said.

“But hopefully it does work out in the near future, and we’ll see how it goes.”

NOTEBOOK

Self lauds arena’s aura

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

COLUMBIA, MO. — Bill Self said he “loved the atmosphere” at Saturday’s Kansas-Missouri basketball game at Mizzou Arena.

“So much has been made about the hatred and all that ... I thought tonight — and this is hard for me to say to Mizzou people — but tonight was as good and classy an atmosphere as there is. I think it’ll be same when they come to our place (Feb. 25).

I’m sure it will be,” Self, KU’s ninth-year coach, said after the Jayhawks’ 74-71 defeat.

Self was asked if this was KU’s final trip to Mizzou Arena with MU off to the SEC. “I’ve not made a decision five years down the road what we do, or three years.

It will not happen in the immediate future,” Self said.

“They chose to be someplace else. It’s fine. It’s their prerogative. If it is better for them (in SEC), so be it, but if you choose to be somewhere else, you leave a situation behind that is not the same as what it was when you were in it.”

He noted he won’t be the only one to decide whether to schedule Missouri, with the athletic director and chancellor having a say, too.

“It’s not because I don’t like Missouri,” Self said of not playing the Tigers. “It’s the way it is right now.”

He was asked if he felt bad for the fans.

“I don’t feel bad. Missouri wanted this, so why should I feel bad? If there’s anybody I should feel bad for, it’s the players. They don’t get the chance to play here, not the fans. The fans to me don’t drive the bus at all. Missouri wanted this. It’s their prerogative,” he repeated.

Self said his position would definitely not change if KU lost to MU in Allen this year. !

Stats, facts: Self is 14-4 versus Missouri as KU head coach. The Jayhawks are 17195 all-time against MU. ...

MU snapped a five-game losing streak against KU. ... KU had a two-game win streak snapped in Columbia. ... KU is 24-10 against MU since the start of the Big 12. !

Self honors: Self will be one of the honorees at next year’s Dick Vitale Gala to benefit the V Foundation, Vitale said Saturday. UConn basketball coach Jim Calhoun and former Florida State football coach Bobby Bowden will also be honored.

This year’s gala is set for May 18 at the Ritz Carlton in Sarasota, Fla. Former Notre Dame football coach Lou Holtz, former Maryland basketball coach Gary Williams and current Villanova hoops coach Jay Wright are the honorees. For information visit dickvitaleonline. com.

KANSAS GUARD TYSHAWN TAYLOR PROTESTS A CHARGE CALLED AGAINST HIM after sending Missouri guard Michael Dixon to the floor with less than 10 seconds left.

The call helped MU claim a 74-71 victory over Kansas on Saturday in Columbia, Mo.

that dropped KU to 18-5 overall and 8-2 in the Big 12. MU improved to 21-2, 8-2.

“I don’t think it was fatigue, but it could have been,” Self added. “We obviously made some really bad plays late that put them in position to win the game. They’ve still got to make shots. They had a guy who was unbelievable tonight. He played his tail off, made shots. We couldn’t get to the free-throw line (five of nine charities to MU’s 14 of 20) and turned it over (15 to MU’s 14). That was the difference.”

Senior guard Denmon hit 10 of 16 shots, including six of nine from three. He also had nine rebounds in 39 minutes.

“He made two threes where his body is turned sideways,” Self said. “Those are big-time shots. He made a 30-footer to start the game with perfect defense, a hand in his face. He made plays and was defended pretty well.”

Denmon hit a basket and foul shot, and after a controversial charging call on Robinson, hit a a three to cut the eight-point deficit (71-63) to 71-69. Following a turnover

by Taylor (21 points, six turnovers, three assists), Denmon hit another three to give MU a 72-71 lead at :59.

Taylor missed two free throws at :41.3 and had a charging call on a shot in the lane at 9.8 seconds. Mike Dixon hit two free throws

KANSAS FORWARD THOMAS ROBINSON (0) IS HOUNDED by the Missouri defense during the first half. to boost the lead to 74-71 at 9.8. Elijah Johnson missed a wild three-pointer with two seconds left to conclude the action.

“We blew the game,” said KU’s Robinson, who scored 25 points off 11-of-17 shooting, with 19 points the second half. “Give them credit for making shots, but we blew the game.

“I didn’t want to lose to them. I didn’t want to lose to them,” a somber Robinson repeated.

Of his getting called for a charge in crunch time, Robinson said: “The ref saw what he saw. I don’t agree with him. He saw what he saw.”

Of the late-game calls that went against KU, coach Self said: “I was told I don’t want to see the tape by a couple people that watched it and were unbiased. They weren’t Kansas people,” Self said. “It comes with the territory. It didn’t come down to one call.

We had the ball up six with under three (left).”

The Jayhawks left Columbia in likely their last trip to Mizzou Arena feeling like they definitely squandered a big opportunity.

“The last few minutes of the game ... we let it get away,” Kansas’ Travis Releford said. “It’s disappointing coming here, playing one of our better games (Kansas hit 53.6 percent of its shots to Missouri’s 52.1 mark) and not coming out with a win.

“We did it to ourselves,” noted Kansas center Jeff Withey, who had four rebounds, no points and one shot in 23 minutes. “It’s a rough loss. It stinks. We had the win. We just let it go.”

KU will next meet Baylor, which also is tied for the league lead with just two losses, at 6 p.m. Wednesday, in Waco, Texas.

loud from wire to wire took on disco-like volume. And no disco party is complete without a couple of impossible-to-ignore whistles. Those went the way of the hosts in the waning moment.

Missouri scored the game’s final 11 points in the final 2:04, and Taylor and Robinson, who had played so well, faded as the lead vanished.

Taylor played no small part in the meltdown, which left him thinking he had cost his team the game.

With Kansas up two and 1:15 left, Taylor lost his dribble and turned it over. With 42 seconds left and Kansas trailing by a point, he missed a pair of free throws, and it was difficult to see that and not think for a quick second about Christian Moody, no matter how hard you might have tried to think about anyone but him.

With 10 seconds left, Taylor drove into the lane, put up a shot and was called for a charge after making contact with Michael Dixon.

That call could be termed questionable. That term did not fit a bigger whistle that went against Robinson, which was better termed unquestionably bad.

Robinson made a bucket that would have put Kansas up seven with 1:43 left. Steve Moore — don’t be surprised to see him at the Oscars accepting a trophy for the best flop of the 2011-2012 college basketball season — willed himself onto the floor. The ref bit, nullified the bucket and tagged Robinson with a charge.

After the loss, KU coach Bill Self must have been torn, not knowing whether to hug or slug his players.

KANSAS GUARD TYSHAWN TAYLOR HANGS HIS HEAD after the loss to Missouri.

For so much of the game they played such inspired, driven, poised basketball.

Yet, because they were bludgeoned at the end of both halves, they had nothing but a loss to show for it and in the process moved from sole possession of first place in the Big 12 into a three-way tie with Missouri and Baylor.

Combine the final 4:08 of the first half with the final 2:04 of the second, and in that 6:12, Missouri outscored Kansas, 22-2. In the other 33:48, the score was Kansas 69, Missouri 52.

“We’ve just got to bounce back,” Taylor said after pointing the finger of blame at the mirror. “We’ve got another tough one coming up Wednesday night.”

Baylor in Waco certainly defines a tough game.

Eugene C. Riling 1929-2002

Dean Burkhead 1931-2011

The vocal minority upset with Taylor not carrying the Jayhawks to the finish line Saturday might watch the Baylor game waiting for him to make a mistake. His coach, the only voice that matters to the guard in the midst of a terrific senior year, will expect him to carry the team to victory.

“He’s damn good,” Self said, then repeated himself more slowly to emphasize just how much he meant what he said. “He is damn good. And he played so well the first half and kept us in the game. The second half, he just didn’t make good decisions down the stretch. But I’ll put the ball in his hands any day.”

And doing that will make every opposing coach sweat a little harder.

The most popular storyline this week has been Peyton’s pain in his neck. Or, rather, his status following three neck surgeries in 19 months; whether the Colts will keep him around, at the cost of a $28 million roster bonus due in March; and whether he’s truly feuding with owner Jim Irsay’s rebuilding organization.

Eli, who will surpass his brother for NFL titles with a victory today at Lucas Oil Stadium — yes, Peyton’s Place — claims his sibling’s issues are irrelevant to this game, in which New York (12-7) is a 3-point underdog.

“I’m proud of Peyton. I’ve talked to him this week.

None of that comes up,” Eli said. “When I talk to Peyton, he does a great job of trying to keep me relaxed. (We) talk a little football and talk about New England some.

He’s supported me this week. I know he’s just working hard trying to get healthy and I’m going to support him on that.”

While Eli would own two championships with a victory, to one for Peyton, Brady could tie his childhood quarterbacking hero, Joe Montana, and Terry Bradshaw with four. Coach Bill Belichick would equal Chuck Noll with the same number.

To get it, the Patriots (153) must protect their crown jewel. Four years ago, Brady was banged around so much

by New York that it turned the Super Bowl in the Giants’ favor.

Yes, they needed David Tyree’s miracle pin-the-ballagainst-the-helmet catch, then Plaxico Burress’ touchdown reception to shatter New England’s perfect season. But that victory was built on the relentless pressure applied to Brady.

The formula hasn’t changed.

“We feel that we certainly have a very strong group of men in the front,” Giants coach Tom Coughlin said.

“It’s just the way we play and prefer to play.”

KU’s Weis has ties to both Pats, Giants

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Two weeks ago, Kansas University football coach Charlie Weis stood on the home sideline at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass., and openly rooted for the team with which he won three Super Bowl rings in nine seasons as an NFL assistant coach in the AFC Championship game.

As those New England Patriots prepare to take on the New York Giants at 5:20 tonight in Super Bowl XLVI, Weis won’t be anywhere near the field and his allegiance won’t be nearly as easy to determine.

“I will be watching the Super Bowl, 7:30, though,” said Weis, who will be on vacation in Puerto Rico, with his wife, Maura, when the big game kicks off. “It’s an hour later there. As a matter of fact, I know where I’ll be watching it from. I can picture my seat right now.

Overlooking the ocean, drinking a couple Diet

Cokes, maybe a glass of ice water or two.”

Despite his fondness for New England quarterback Tom Brady, his close relationship with Patriots coach Bill Belichick and his love for team owner Robert Kraft and his family, it’s no slam dunk that Weis will be pulling for the Patriots in this one. After all, on the other sideline will be the organization that gave the New Jersey native his first shot at coaching in the NFL in 1990, when he joined Bill Parcells’ New York Giants coaching staff and helped lead the Giants to a victory in Super Bowl XXV. “I worked for both organizations, won rings with both organizations and have a lot of friends with both organizations,” Weis said when asked who he would be rooting for tonight. “I obviously have some very close personal friends with the Patriots, but I’m just gonna watch the game and whatever happens, happens.”

UNI buzzer-beater sinks No. 13 Creighton No. 20 Indiana 78, Purdue 61 WEST LAFAYETTE, IND. — Victor Oladipo scored a career-high 23 points.

The Associated Press

Northern Iowa 65, No. 13 Creighton 62 CEDAR FALLS, IOWA — Northern Iowa’s Anthony James made a three-pointer at the buzzer to snap Creighton’s 11-game winning streak.

James scored 14 of his 16 points in the second half, and Seth Tuttle added 13 points for the Panthers, who handed visiting Creighton its first loss since late December.

James buried a huge three from the corner with 23 seconds left to put Northern Iowa (16-9, 6-7 Missouri Valley) ahead 61-56. Creighton’s Antoine Young hit a three with 4.6 seconds left to tie it at 62.

But James dribbled the length of the court and pulled up for the game-winner at the buzzer, sending Panthers streaming onto their home court.

No. 6 Baylor survives upset-minded Oklahoma St.

Griner’s 29 vault Bears over ‘Cats

The Associated Press

No. 6 Baylor 64, Oklahoma St. 60 STILLWATER, OKLA. — Quincy Acy kept working, even when a 95 percent foul shooter went to the line late in the game.

Acy had 11 points and a season-best 12 rebounds, providing the go-ahead basket and a key offensive rebound down the stretch in Baylor’s win against Oklahoma State on Saturday.

Perry Jones III added 16 points and 11 rebounds, and Pierre Jackson also scored 16 as the Bears (20-2, 8-2 Big 12) got their first win at Gallagher-Iba Arena since 2003, snapping an eight-game losing streak.

The Cowboys (11-12, 4-6) rallied from a nine-point deficit to take a 57-56 lead on Keiton Page’s wide-open three-pointer from the right wing with 1:42 to play. It would be their only lead of the game.

After a timeout, Acy answered at the other end with a layup set up by Jackson’s drive.

Heslip followed with four straight free throws before a rare miss — just his second in 25 tries this season — with the Bears leading 62-60 with 6.9 seconds left.

Acy bounded along the left baseline to get the rebound, setting up Anthony Jones’ foul shots that closed it out with 2.8 seconds left.

Common ground unlikely with abusive sister-in-law Dear Annie: My husband’s sister is impossible. “Anabel” is bitter, nasty, venal, snide and vicious. She can’t wait two minutes before making a cruel remark.

Soon after my husband and I moved back to his hometown, he had a stroke at the age of 52. He’s recovering, thankfully.

The first person I notified was Anabel. She came to the hospital and put on a great show of support, but as soon as we were alone, she’d say charming things like, “You should rest — oh, wait, you’d better not. I don’t think I could pull your big butt out of the chair.”

After three days of being belittled and abused by her, I had a breakdown at the hospital. The nurses told Anabel to leave and not return unless another family member was with her.

She has tried to undermine everything regarding my husband’s after-stroke care. She brought him a pizza while in rehab, and I went ballistic.

But here’s the kicker: When my husband and I arrived at his after-care rehab appointment, we saw Anabel coming out of the training room using a walker. We had no idea she’d been ill.

While my husband had therapy, I talked to Anabel, and she finally confessed that she’d nearly died a year before. When I asked why she

Annie’s Mailbox

that you two will find common ground. However, she is your husband’s sister, and he apparently wants to maintain contact. Please allow him to do so, and remove yourself from the equation by staying away whenever possible.

Dear Annie: I’ve been with my boyfriend for a decade. We have children together and jointly own cars, a house and a business. I’ve been pushing the issue of marriage for three years. So far, he won’t budge. anniesmailbox@comcast.net I’ve given him deadlines and hadn’t told anyone, she simply ultimatums, and still nothing. shrugged. I told her she would I love him dearly, and I have been furious if I hadn’t know he loves me, too, but notified her of my husband’s stroke. Later, she told the rest of the family I was a monster and had stopped my husband from coming to see her.

I no longer wish to have any contact with Anabel. My husband is cordial to her, and she thinks this gives her carte blanche to keep babbling about how horrible we are. Other than ignoring her and the rest of this miserable breed, can you think of any other way to deal with the situation? — No Name, Please Dear No Name: You had a slight opportunity to improve things by showing Anabel some sympathy about her condition, but we understand that you were too upset to do so.

Her abusive personality and your anger make it unlikely

A few choices beyond the Super Bowl Sequels tend to pile up when you’re not watching. I’m still not sure how many movies “Leprechaun” has spawned.

ABC Family is hoping that football-besotted fans will want to spend their Super Sunday with all five incarnations of the “Bring It On” oeuvre, starting with “Bring It On Again” (8 a.m.), “Bring It On: In It To Win It” (10 a.m.), the original and unsurpassed “Bring It On” (noon), “Bring It On: Fight to the Finish” (2 p.m.) and the never-to-be-forgotten “Bring It On: All or Nothing” (4 p.m.).

Competition of a more lethal nature can be found on Nat Geo Wild’s “Predator Bowl” marathon, beginning with “Croc Ganglands” (11 a.m.) and concluding with the world premiere of “Lion Battle Zone” (9 p.m.).

Viewers who prefer their critters cute can indulge in the two-hour “Puppy Bowl VIII” (2 p.m. Sunday, Animal Planet). I can’t believe the “Puppy Bowl” is only VIII. I could swear it was at least XI!

Lifetime invites nonfootball fans to spend the day with mystery movies based on Nora Roberts’ novels, starting with “Nora Roberts’ Carnal Innocence” (9 a.m.) and wrapping up Monday morning with “Nora Roberts’ Montana Sky” (1 a.m.).

Also in the anything-but-football mode, Bravo recycles 18 episodes from its “Real Housewives” franchise, beginning with “Orange County” (10:45 a.m.

Sunday) and concluding with “Atlanta” (midnight).

Of course some folks will probably just tune into Super Bowl XLVI (5:30 p.m.

Sunday, NBC) between the New York Giants and the New England Patriots. At the end of the big game, NBC will air the second season premiere of “The Voice” (9 p.m., time approximate). This was as close to a hit as the network had last year.

I credit those “Star Trek” style chairs.

Tonight’s highlights

Scheduled on “60 Minutes” (7 p.m., CBS): Morley Safer interviews three notable women: Dolly Parton, Anna Wintour and Meryl Streep.

The war concludes, but not the suffering, on “Downton Abbey” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings).

Ace shows his cards and flashes his anger on “Luck” (8 p.m., HBO). This new series has been picked up for a second season.

Cult choice Set against the Suez crisis of 1956, a washed-up vaudevillian’s (Laurence Olivier) personal failings seem symptomatic of the British Empire’s decline in the 1960 drama “The Entertainer” (7 p.m.

Sunday, TCM), adapted from a play by “angry young man” John Osborne.

Series notes Bully for Bart on “The Simpsons” (7 p.m., Fox) ... “America’s Funniest Home Videos” (7 p.m., ABC) ... A hurricane on “The Cleveland Show” (7:30 p.m., Fox).

Keeping the eyes peeled on “CSI: Miami” (8 p.m., CBS) ... Stormy weather on “Family Guy” (8 p.m., Fox) ... Three’s a honeymoon crowd on “The Middle” (8 p.m., ABC) ... Cloudbursts on “American Dad” (8:30 p.m., Fox).

An abandoned ship goes missing on “NCIS” (9 p.m., CBS).

I’m at the end of my rope.

What should I do? — N.C. Dear N.C.: Honey, you haven’t given him ultimatums. You’ve given him empty threats and let him off the hook. Either accept the situation or leave. Find out whether your union is protected legally under common-law marriage statutes. You should act according to what you think is best for you.

PARTICIPANTS AT THE SECOND ANNUAL KAW VALLEY SEED FAIR LAST YEAR got to pick up new seeds to try in their gardens. This year’s fair will be Saturday at the Douglas County Fairgrounds.

Seed fair seeks to entertain, build reserve Come out to the third annual Kaw Valley Seeds Project Fair this Saturday for an opportunity to share and pick up seeds, learn about gardening and seed saving, and just have fun.

The Seed Fair is organized by the Kaw Valley Seeds Project, which is an outgrowth of the Kansas Area Watershed (KAW) Council. The KAW Council sponsors the event with the Douglas County Extension Master Gardeners.

About 35 exhibitors/vendors are scheduled to be at the Seed Fair, including local farmers and nonprofit organizations like the Kansas Native Plant Society and Kansas Rural Center. Food will be available and there are activities especially for children.

The seed exchange table is the real highlight of the Seed Fair, though. “People can bring whatever seeds they have and put them out to share with other people who attend,” explains Dan Bentley, director of the Kaw Valley Seeds Project. Fair attendees are not required to or expected to bring seeds in order to take seeds from the table, but sharing is encouraged. Most of the seeds are vegetables and flowers, and typically a wide range of species is available.

“Hopefully,” Bentley adds, “we

will get some heirloom seeds that have been saved using proper methods to keep the seeds true — maybe seed passed down from someone’s grandmother or something similar. We want seeds for the seed reserve that carry with them stories of people’s lives and how they intersect with the seeds themselves.”

The seed reserve Bentley is referring to is a collection of seeds grown in, saved in, and appropriate for our area. The seed reserve is maintained by Kaw Valley Seeds Project, and building it is the organization’s primary goal.

Since many seeds have a fairly short shelf life, project members grow and harvest seeds from the reserve each year. Most importantly, seeds in the reserve must

be collected in a manner to maintain varietal purity, which can be difficult with open- and crosspollinated varieties.

Also, all of the seeds in the reserve are from primary or standard (nonhybrid) varieties. Because of the way hybrids are created, seeds from hybrid plants do not resemble the parent plant and thus are unfavorable for seed saving.

Kirsten Bosnak, one of the Seed Fair organizers and a member of the Kaw Valley Seeds Project, notes that she grew popcorn last year with seeds from the reserve.

She then collected seeds and returned them to the reserve to increase the stock.

“Building the seed reserve is a slow and careful process,” says Bosnak, who has been interested in local food and gardening for many years. “I’m really interested in going to the next step of not

Bentley, who says he has been gardening for more than 60 years, is also interested in closing the cycle.

“With seeds you save yourself, you can kind of control the end product,” he says. “I’m still learning about seed saving, especially

some of the more advanced techniques.”

Bosnak also notes that the Seed Fair is a great opportunity to interact with other gardeners and likeminded people. “I really love being part of this community of people.”

Kovel’s Antiques: Arts and Crafts-era maker had own style

By Terry Kovel

CHARLES ROHLFS MADE this Gothic-looking drop-front desk in about 1900. It has carved finials and a fitted interior and swivels on a platform base.

It was offered for sale at a Skinner Auction in Boston.

Arts and Crafts, or Mission, furniture is described in most catalogs and books as functional and simple, with straight legs and arms.

Pieces have little decoration, just visible mortise-andtenon joints. Light or dark oak was preferred. It was a short-lived style popular from 1900 to about 1915. The designs were a revolt against the curved, highly decorated furniture of Victorian times.

They echoed the Englishmen William Morris and John Ruskin’s idealized view of the single workman creating a piece of furniture in an honest, personal manner. Morris and Ruskin liked the medieval craft guild organization, although they misinterpreted it to be one man, one object.

Studies today show that for

centuries a single piece of furniture might have been made by many different expert craftsmen who were carvers, turners, designers or specialists who created parts of a chair or chest. The revival of the Arts and Crafts style in the 1980s has lasted longer than the workshops of Gustav Stickley, Roycroft and other Mission makers.

Charles Rohlfs, who is often listed with these makers, was a New York City furniture maker who worked during the years Arts and Crafts ideas were popular, but he had his own ideas and designs. He used curves and cut-outs, high backs on chairs and strange feet. His furniture did not fit in with the look expected then or during the 1980s revival, so until recently it was rarely offered at large auctions and

shows. But new research about Rohlfs and new respect for his work should lead to more collector interest and higher prices.

Q: I have a Post Cereal Roy Rogers “pop-out card.”

It’s No. 10 in a series of 36 and pictures Roy and his dog, Bullet. What year were these printed? Does it have any value?

A: Roy Rogers was born Leonard Franklin Slye in Cincinnati in 1911. His family moved to Los Angeles in 1930 and Roy was discovered after singing in an amateur night.

He began his acting career using the name Dick Weston and didn’t use the name Roy Rogers until 1938. Republic Studios wanted him to use the name Leroy Rogers, but Roy didn’t like the name Leroy, so he chose Roy. Post

Cereals “pop-out” cards were enclosed in several varieties of Post cereals in 1952. Part of the picture was cut so that it would pop out from the background when the picture was folded correctly. The back of each card listed the number of the card, title and description. A single card is worth about $10-$15. A complete set of 36 cards in great condition has sold for $800.

Q: We were given a picture titled “Deer in Repose, A View in the Isle of Arran, painted by R. Cleminson, Engraved by George Zobel, published by L. Brall & Sons.” It has some brown streaks and spots on it.

It’s in a huge wooden frame that’s boarded up in the back. Friends tell me that I should be present when it’s appraised because people

often hide things of value behind the boards. Is this worth having appraised?

A: Robert Cleminson was a British artist active from 1865 to 1868 who specialized in “sporting” art, paintings of Highland scenes of dogs, deer, game and other animals. The streaks in the picture are a type of mold called “foxing” and are expensive to remove. Cleminson prints in good condition sell for under $100. Prints in poor condition don’t sell. Your print is worth less than its frame. You rarely find things hidden behind backing boards. Sometimes you find things behind the paper dust covering.

Tip: Don’t lock furniture with antique locks. If they stick, it’s almost impossible to open the door or drawer without damaging the wood.

Arts Center concert series draws diverse crowd

By Michael C. Auchard

Ben Ahlvers has nothing against Lawrence’s downtown music scene. Quite the opposite. He has a lot of respect for it.

Even so, the Lawrence Arts Center’s exhibitions director hopes a new concert series will change the way people think about music downtown.

Ahlvers says the goal of the new Nine Forty LIVE series at the Arts Center, 940 N.H., is to provide high-quality musical entertainment in a more laid-back, relaxed setting at earlier times in the evening than most downtown performances.

“What the Arts Center can bring to this is not only the venue,” says Ahlvers, 37. “But with some of these groups, it’ll be an introduction to people who use the Arts Center, our audience. It’ll be an introduction of artists — musicians — that live and work in Lawrence that somebody my age or a little older might not be inclined to go to a club at 11 (p.m.) to go see.”

The series’ three-performance run kicked off Jan. 21 with a sold-out show by the Danny Pound Review, a group consisting of singer/ songwriters Danny Pound, Arthur Dodge, Matt Suggs and Suzannah Johannes and a backing band. Upcoming shows will feature Truckstop Honeymoon, a banjo-infused alt-country ensemble, at 7 p.m. Friday, and Hospital Ships, an ethereal, low-fi pop band, on March 17. Tickets are $10 and may be purchased through the Lawrence Arts Center or at Love Garden Sounds, 822 Mass. More shows may be announced in the future.

Special to the Journal-World

DANNY POUND AND JEREMY SIDENER PERFORM Jan. 21 at the kickoff of the Lawrence Arts Center’s Nine Forty LIVE series. The series will continue Friday at the Arts Center with the band Truckstop Honeymoon.

NINE FORTY LIVE What: Nine Forty LIVE series featuring Truckstop Honeymoon When: 7 p.m. Friday Where: Lawrence Arts Center, 940 N.H. Tickets: $10, available at the Arts Center or Love Garden Sounds, 822 Mass.

Ahlvers says the first show brought an eclectic audience.

“It was all over the board.

There were some kids there, and there some people that were my folks’ age that were there. I think that’s a unique thing that this series can provide is that opportunity for a mixed-generational experience to happen,” he says.

Mike West, vocalist and banjo player of Truckstop Honeymoon, which also in-

cludes his wife, Katie Euliss, on bass and vocals, says the intimate setting brings a different vibe than other theaters, festivals and “hillbilly bars” the New Orleans-byway-of-Katrina transplants have played.

“What can be nice is that people in theaters are generally listening and you can have a little bit more fun with the humor and the wordplay and the banter,” he says.

“It’s a big part of our show anyway, but with a theater you can be more attentive.

You can play with humor and they’ll get it. The downside is, we really like it when people get up and dance. But every place is different; we won’t know until the night we play there.”

West describes Truckstop Honeymoon, which released a new album called “Steamboat in a Cornfield” last year, as “a high-energy, hillbilly

duo telling stories that are too weird not to be true.”

Dave Swenson, who played guitar and keyboard in the backing band in the series’ first performance, says he’s impressed with the way Ahlvers has let the musicians dictate performance details. He says he appreciates the risk the Arts Center is taking with a new show that’s trying to reach new audiences.

“For him to really take a chance and say, ‘I’ve got a great idea and I’d at least like to have an opportunity to fail,’ and that the Arts Center is behind him — that’s cool,” Swenson says.

“He’s allowing the artists some freedom in exercising some control in developing what they want to do.

I think, going forward, this could be a very fun thing, not just for the audience but for the artists themselves.”

Why would God favor one football team over another?

God grants people favor, not football teams

MADONNA DANCES A SALSA during a news conference for NFL football’s Super Bowl XLVI’s halftime show Thursday in Indianapolis.

Madonna channels Cruz with salsa dance INDIANAPOLIS — Madonna won’t explicitly say who she’s rooting for, but her spot-on salsa dance in honor of the New York Giants Victor Cruz may have revealed where her allegiance lies.

At a news conference Thursday to promote her halftime Super Bowl performance, she was asked what she thought of the wide receiver’s touchdown celebration dance and if she had any criticisms of his moves.

“I have no criticism ... actually, he’s inspired me. I’ve been practicing,” said Madonna, who lives in New York, before busting a move in front of the few hundred media members in attendance.

“Do you think he’d approve?” she asked after her brief performance. Madonna also leaned toward the Giants when pressed on which quarterback she’d rather have dinner with, the New England Patriots’ Tom Brady or the Giants’ Eli Manning. While she protested the question was unfair, she allowed: “I’d have to say Eli because he lives in New York and I don’t want him to waste gas. “ Madonna’s salsa dance was her only performance of the day; she declined to follow the footsteps of other halftime acts who have given a tease of their performance with a mini concert.

Madonna gave few details about today’s show, which is being “imagined” Cirque du Soleil and may feature white-hot rapper Nicki Minaj, who is featured on Madonna’s new single “Give Me All Your Luvin’.”

Whitmore taps sounds of Midwest in latest album

The Rev. Shaun LePage, pastor, Community Bible Church, 906 N. 1464 Road: “Sure, Journal-World Editor, I’d love to answer a question for the Faith Forum.

What’s the question?”

“Why would God favor one football team over another?”

“Why would God ... what?

What a dumb question! God doesn’t care about ... ” Wait a minute. Movie memory.

What was that quote from “Chariots of Fire”? You know, Eric Liddell, the great Olympic runner who refused to compete on Sunday? What was it he said?

I found it on YouTube: “I believe God made me for a purpose — for China. But he also made me fast. And when I run I feel his pleasure.”

Interesting. Was he right?

Was God pleased when “The Flying Scotsman” ran in the Olympics? If so, could God be pleased when men LePage play football?

Didn’t God make them fast?

And big? Didn’t he design them with the ability to pass, receive, kick and rush?

Didn’t God grant Joshua favor in conquering Canaan?

Didn’t God grant David favor when he challenged Goliath? Or Nehemiah when he rebuilt a wall? Or Joseph in business and Daniel in government? He did!

Does God care more about wars, duels, construction, business and politics than football? Probably not.

It wasn’t the what, but the who. There was something about Joshua, David, Nehemiah, Joseph and Daniel that found favor with God. Something about who they were and how they did things.

Didn’t Paul write, “So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God”? If eating and drinking can be done for the glory of God, couldn’t you play football for the glory of God? If so, couldn’t a football team play for the glory of God? If so, couldn’t that team receive God’s favor?

Question is: Does anyone — or any team — really play football for the glory of God? — Send e-mail to Shaun LePage at shaun@community-bible.org.

Football turning into a religious sport The Rev. Matt Cox, pastor, EastLake Community Church, 200 McDonald Drive (Holiday Inn Convention Center): We know that God has handed hockey over to the Canadians, soccer over to, well, the rest of the world and he works exclusively with Jayhawk basketball. God’s most complex issues in the American sports world are in the NFL. There are so many poses and nods to God on touchdowns that you wonder if God needs a detailed Excel sheet to keep it all organized.

But he’s so mysterious in his messages. Once we thought God was passing for Tim Tebow in so many fourth quarters. In one game, Tebow’s stats and TV ratings matched the “3:16” he dis-

plays on his eye tape. We all thought God was emphasizing John 3:16. But the loss to the Patriots surely proved Cox God’s message was prophetic, along the lines of Romans 3:16: “Destruction and misery always follow them.”

But perhaps the answer lies in Paul’s second letter to the church in Opinia. 2 Opinions 3:16 says, “For God so loved American football, that he gave a complex system of poses and prayers, that whosoever does the most prayer huddles and poses on camera, with bonus points going to those who point to the sky,

shall not be tackled, but have an everlasting abundance of touchdowns.”

Sure, that letter never made it into the Bible. But since that’s how many people feel, it has to be right!

As far as the Giants and Patriots? God has a dilemma. If you feel distant from God today, it’s probably because he’s way too busy crunching the holy huddle stats for the Super Bowl since there are many people of faith on both teams.

Forget that Tebow himself said God isn’t interested in who wins football games.

We should eliminate the fun, family entertainment out of the NFL and turn it into something super spiritual!

William Elliott Whitmore is disappointed in the weather.

He’s rigged a pretty awesome sled together from an old car hood, he says from his farm in Lee County, Iowa, but with no snow it hasn’t gotten any use.

No matter; he’ll find another project. From woodworking and carpentry to subsistence farming, he likes to keep a lot of irons in the fire.

Oh, and there’s his increasingly successful music career.

Whitmore has gained praise for his folksy ballads, experimentation with literal field songs — natural sounds recorded on his farm — and powerful voice. But for all his love for Americana, he came up touring with a lot of Midwest-based hardcore and punk bands, experience that he says granted him a wider audience and better ability to put on a raucous live show — even when it’s just him and his guitar.

From Lee County, he talked about his most recent album, “Field Songs,” his view of Lawrence and his upcoming show here Friday at the Grenada, and how it feels to be a disillusioned political songwriter.

MUSICIAN WILLIAM ELLIOTT WHITMORE will be playing a show Friday at the Granada.

Los Angeles Times

Think of the West and what comes to mind are vertiginous peaks, sculpted tablelands and the infinite vistas of basin and range country. In other words, geology.

Westerners live in the shadow of mountains that are still rising, on the edge of a continent on the move, over fault systems that can unleash the power of nuclear bombs. More so than any other region of the country, we are defined by geology.

In “Rough-Hewn Land: A Geologic Journey From California to the Rocky Mountains,” Keith Heyer Meldahl takes us on a field trip from San Francisco to the Rocky Mountains, tracing the genealogy of the landscape. He seasons the story with historical accounts and a synthesis of evolving geologic theory, providing a fascinating guide to the formation of the West.

“Geology,” Meldahl writes, “is stranger than fiction.” How did material that was once buried miles beneath the Pacific seabed in the deep ocean wind up a rock in the Sierra Nevada with a pine tree poking out of it? How did the Rockies, far from the classic mountain-building forces of the continental edge, get tall enough to leave hikers gasping for oxygen?

The answers lie in the ancient forces of plate tectonics, volcanism and upheaval that birthed the West and continue to shape it. If there is an overarching theme of the book, it is that the region

remains geologically alive.

The Pacific Plate, which includes coastal Southern California, is creeping to the Northwest at a rate of about 2 inches a year. The Great Basin is stretching, annually adding a half-inch to the distance between Reno and Salt Lake City. In 1872, the Sierra Nevada in an instant lurched 6 feet when one of the most violent earthquakes in California’s recorded history jolted the Owens Valley, nearly leveling Lone Pine and killing more than two dozen residents.

Fittingly for a state full of immigrants, it turns out that, geologically speaking, California isn’t native either.

“Wherever you stand in this state, if your feet are on bedrock, the odds are that you’re standing on an immigrant, reeled in by subduction from

the far reaches of the Pacific in the process of assembling California,” writes Meldahl, a geology professor at MiraCosta College in San Diego County.

As the Pacific floor spread, fed by lava welling up from midocean ridges, it collided with the westward-creeping North American plate and plunged under it. During the last 200 million years, ancient seabed was scraped off and left behind, attaching itself to the continent’s edge and incrementally building the Golden State.

As Californians know all too well, earthquake faults mark plate boundaries. But Meldahl, who cites an extensive bibliography, says the common perception that the San Andreas fault marks the edge of the North American Plate is wrong. Rather, he

argues that there are a series of fault systems, including those in eastern California, that are breaking up the continent’s southwestern corner. “The message is clear: the western 500 miles of the southwestern United States are slowly tearing away from the rest of the continent.”

The good news: In 15 million more years or so, there will be more oceanfront real estate: “Every likely projection points to one conclusion: continental fragmentation and eventual beachfront property in the deserts of the American West.”

But all those L.A. haters waiting for the Southland to sink into the Pacific are going to be disappointed. Even when it splits from the mainland, coastal California will be too buoyant to disappear into the Earth’s mantle.

Meldahl has a sense of humor. In one photo, he uses crumpled beer cans to illustrate his point. He also intertwines history with geology, explaining the origins of the gold that launched California’s Gold Rush (Hint: It came from somewhere else) and Nevada’s mineral wealth. Settlers crossing the Sierra had to dismantle their wagons and hoist them up the eastern face of the range because glaciers had chiseled it into a daunting obstacle.

He quotes 19th-century explorer and geologist John Wesley Powell’s puzzlement over rivers in the Northern Rockies that cut through ridges they could have easily flowed around. Powell didn’t have the right answer: He thought the rivers preceded the mountains.

The mountains are in fact much older. In what geologists call “The Exhumation,” the rivers, aided by uplift and ancient climate change, washed away the sand and gravel that had all but buried the Rockies.

Informative and highly readable, “Rough-Hewn Land” belongs on the shelf of anyone curious about how that stunning view through the windshield came to be.

Poet’s Showcase Enchantment The riotous honeysuckle Adorning the ruined stoned wall Censes the filmy forenoon.

Two little sloe-eyed girls, Clad in cotton feed-sack dresses, Jeweled with daisy necklaces, Spontaneously pause at the stone garden, Part their roseate lips, Blink-close their sooty lashes, And inhale an ambrosial breath.

Their enchantment immediate is.

Like ancient lotus-eaters, Spell bound, exalted, Struck mute they are By the sugared sphere.

Crawls by a shadow’s centimeter of time.

They reach groggily for each other As if entangled in a trance.

Then, giggling and grasping hands, They withdraw in bare feet, Relinquishing rapture In quest of the blackberry thicket.

Someday, they will caress Chanel Onto their wrists slender and necks white, But it will never, sadly, Never smell as wondrous.

They are rendered forever immune To apocryphal magic By the stone garden’s honeyed crown Inhaled one filmy forenoon.

— Joy Clumsky, Lawrence

And then we CONTINUED FROM PAGE 12C found out that a lot of people were interested “great, interesting or fun content” to create a “mint of in it.” manly things,” they say. In a matter of weeks, the site created in 12 hours has received thousands of requests to join.

McKinney and Stansberry, who met two years ago, started playing around with the idea for the site in November after their original after-work project was going nowhere.

McKinney said they decided to take 12 hours off for a “hack day” to build the basic framework of Gentlemint to work through their burnout.

They shared it with a few friends but didn’t expect it to be a huge success — until Time magazine called.

“It was supposed to be something that was just fun for us,” McKinney said with Stansberry laughing in the background. “And then we found out that a lot of people were interested in it.”

“At the same time,” Stansberry added.

“The same second, actually,” McKinney said.

Now their side-side-project (McKinney and Stansberry both work for Mediaphormedia, a division of The World Company) is taking up all their free time.

Its homepage has received more than a thousand “likes”

The site began with its two founders posting content to make each other laugh, they said. As their users grow, women are joining, too. Anybody’s welcome to post content — items that are “gentlemanly” but in a classy way, and they’ve had to ask only one user to leave.

Then you’ll ask me, “What do you want me to do?” Actually, there have been very few times in my years working at the Journal-World where someone has completely refused to have their photograph taken. You might hesitate at first, but in the end resistance is futile.

“The referee says you need to take that down” Journal-World photographer Nick Krug had this said to him recently. He had spent considerable time — hours before a KU men’s basketball game — mounting a remote camera to a backboard. Twominutes before tip-off, he was informed to take it down on a referee’s order. I was standing next to Nick, and had he looked at me for any words of sympathy I might have said, “Would you like fries with that?”

me till the end…”

As the days and weeks passed, Siri and I were inseparable. Like Carol Brady and Alice. Batman and Alfred. Buffy and Mr. French.

She managed both of my calendars, looked up words in the dictionary and guided me deftly to foreign places.

She even reminded me to schedule my mammogram.

She had, indeed, become my BFF. But there was danger ahead. A codependency was developing. I started relying on her help more and more.

And she needed me, too.

Well, if only for my battery charger.

“Siri, what’s my PIN number?” I asked urgently while staring at the ATM screen.

“Sorry, I don’t understand ‘Siri, what’s my pin number?’”

“My PIN number for my checking account. Surely you know it!”

“I don’t know what you mean by ‘number for my checking account’. And don’t call me Shirley.” OK, I made up that last part, but the fact remained: Siri had failed me for the first time.

“Siri,” I said, strolling a downtown sidewalk at

lunchtime. “What is the name of the woman coming toward me? I know her!”

“Let me check on that,” came the answer. Then, after a way-too-pregnant pause: “How about a Web search for “what’s the name of that woman coming towards me?”

Another Siri fail! I started questioning our friendship.

Was it too much of a oneway street? Had I asked too much of her? Taken advantage of her subservience? Could she actually be exhibiting passive-aggressive behavior?

The final blow came at the doctor’s office as I completed yet another batch of medical forms.

“Siri, how old am I?” It was an honest question. At that moment I couldn’t remember if I was 56 or 57.

“I’ve always wondered that myself,” she said.

Wait a minute? Was Siri copping an attitude? I asked

again.

“Siri, am I 56 or 57?” I figured she had to have the information somewhere in that phone.

“I don’t know. Maybe the Genius Bar folks can answer that.”

I was about to read her the Steve Jobs riot act, but my fellow patients were starting to stare.

Then I remembered the old adage: Friends come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.

The truth was, Siri was not going to be my pal forever.

(Not with my habit of dropping cellphones in toilets).

I had to figure out a way to make it through life without her.

I tapped my calculator app, put in ‘2011 minus 1955’ and scribbled ‘56’ on the form.

GLEN STANSBERRY, LEFT, AND BRIAN MCKINNEY, both of Lawrence, have created the website Gentlemint. com, “a mint of manly things.”

Gentlemint garners national attention THIS SCREEN GRAB TAKEN from the website Gentlemint. com shows links to “manly things,”such as a glow-in-the-dark toilet ring and a mug made out of bacon, found throughout the Internet.

Gentlemint has been featured Time magazine and Tech Crunch blogs.

By Alex Garrison acgarrison@ljworld.com

It’s home to photos of trickedout cars, products like the “beard beanie” and cocktail recipes (whisky-based, of course).

It’s both manly and trendy, with a dash of irreverence and, for good measure, an American Moustache Institute seal of approval.

Gentlemint is a new social bookmarking website founded and developed by two Lawrence buddies: Brian McKinney and Glen Stansberry. And it’s getting national attention.

The goal of the site is finding, saving and distributing Special to the Journal-World

Teacher, blogger find creative uses for Pinterest See an interesting recipe you’d like to try? Or a link you’d like to look at later? If you’re like millions of Pinterest users, the answer is simple: Pin it.

The free, sharing-focused bookmarking website has gotten huge attention as its page views have climbed into the hundreds of millions. Users create online bulletin boards — photos with links that they aggregate through “pinning,” either uploading content themselves or redistributing it from friends and followers. The focus is on creating a collection of links for personal perusal later or for social media blogging.

Lawrence blogger Meryl CarverAllmond uses the site every day, several times per day, she says.

She’s mainly pinning craft and knitting project ideas with some inspirational quotes and a “dream board” with decor ideas for a future family farm. She even used it to save her Christmas shopping list, something she won’t be able to do again, she says, because now her mother’s joined.

“You can use it for anything,” she said. “It’s like bookmarking with social aspect, it’s like Facebook with crafts.”

But Pinterest’s uses aren’t limited to food, fashion or fluff. Quail

Run School art teacher Emily Baysinger uses the site to find, save and share ideas for lesson plans.

Baysinger says that the site gives her an easy way to find projects for her students and also to organize them — she’s even shown them some of the blogs she’s found through the site. This is her first year teaching at the elementary level and she says that finding “a great little community” of elementary art educators has helped her.

“There’s so many great ideas out there and it’s so great to share,” she says.

was so excited to find her under the tree.

“Look how beautiful!” I cried. “So sleek, so chic. So… me!”

I couldn’t wait to bond but didn’t want to bother her right away.

“It’s Christmas morning,” I said. “She’s probably busy.”

“But that’s the point, Mom,” my son insisted. “She’s there for you whenever. Siri lives to serve!”

Suddenly, a showtune popped into my head: “Siri (ahh!) I just met a girl named Siri (ahh!)

And suddenly that name will never be the same to me….”

I pushed the button. My iPhone 4S gave a double ding.

“Merry Christmas, Siri,” I said.

“There’s no one in your contacts matching ‘Mary’,” came the robotic response.

“Mom!” my son sighed. “She’s not into idle chatter. Give her a command.”

I’ve never been good at telling people what do to (except the people in my nuclear family, of course). I’ve always had trouble delegating responsibility. Once, in fatter times, I hired a housekeeper. I cleaned the entire house before she came, including drawers and closets.

When she arrived and asked for instruction, I ducked my head, muttered, “Whatever you think,” and dashed out the door.

Still, I thought, it’s different with Siri. Subservience is the essence of our relationship. My wish is her command.

I held the magic button, waiting for my cue.

“Siri, give me the weather forecast.”

“Here’s the weather for today through this Friday.”

A six-day weather outlook graphic popped promptly onto my screen. Sweet!

“Siri, remind me to get noisemakers for our New Year’s Eve party.”

“Here’s your reminder for Saturday, December 31st at 9 a.m. Shall I create it?”

“Yes,” I commanded. This was going to be great! Siri would be my new best friend, my right-hand woman, my savior! I felt another song coming on….
