Pantry seeks funding to stay open

KBA: ‘You get what you pay for’ By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

BIZZ O’BRIEN, LAWRENCE, LEFT, PICKS UP SOME BREAD and other food items at the Just Food Warehouse on Feb. 25. Damien St. Julien, right, food bank warehouse manager, stocks the bread table with some items donated. Just Food needs to raise $75,000 by mid-April to stay open.

Just Food provides lifeline in tough times By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

Three inches of snow, slick roads and bitter cold temperatures didn’t deter Lawrence residents from accessing the Just Food pantry in east Lawrence. It was Friday, Feb. 25 — the end of the month. That meant money was scarce and cupboards were pretty bare. Thirty-seven families used the pantry, five for the first time. They had lost jobs or just didn’t make enough to pay for utilities, housing and food. A majority were on disability; they had suffered a stroke, been in a car accident or had an illness, and were living on about $650 per month. These were ordinary people who had experienced extraordinary circumstances. Each was grateful for the pantry. “It helps a lot; every little bit counts,” said a 37year-old woman, as she waited in line with her husband, 40, and her 14-year-old son. “I don’t know how we would eat. We are barely getting by.”

HOW TO HELP Just Food, a Douglas County program that serves about 60 people per day, needs to raise $75,000 by mid-April to continue operations. Donations can be made online at justfoodfund.org or by mailing a check to Just Food at 1200 E. 11th St., Lawrence, KS 66046. For more information, contact Just Food at 856-7030 or visit eckan.org/ justfood.

Less than five years ago, the Kansas Bioscience Authority was an agency with two employees and a nearly empty office. Today, the organization responsible for cultivating bioscience growth in Kansas has a payroll of more than $2.3 million, 21 employees and a $10.8 million building it will move into by the end of the year. Those are numbers that KBA vice chairman Ray Smilor likes. “I’m not only comfortable, but I’m excited about it,” Smilor said. “Others look at us and ask, ‘My gosh, how did you do it?’” But some are uncomfortable with the KBA’s growth and spending.

‘Extremely excessive’ The KBA’s spending on employees has more than doubled over the past few years. At the end of the 2007-08 fiscal year, wages and benefits were listed at $1 million. The Senate’s Commerce Committee, of which Wagle is chairwoman, has held three hearings on the KBA’s spending. Another is scheduled for Friday. “I’m excited about the bioscience authority. I’m excited about getting NBAF,” Wagle said. “But the money seems extremely excessive in this environment in Kansas.” Please see KBA, page 2A

KBA CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

The KBA has until 2018 to spend the $581 million provided through the Economic Growth Act, legislation that was passed in 2004 to bolster biosciences in Kansas. Since then, the KBA has had its share of successes. The organization spearheaded the effort to land the National Bio and AgroDefense Facility, a $650 million federal lab that is being built in Manhattan. In 2010, Kansas was ranked f ifth in the country for biotechnology.

KBA EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION Susan Wagle, chair of the Senate Commerce Committee, has called the amount of money spent by the Kansas Bioscience Authority “lavish” and “flagrant.”Of particular concern are the salaries and bonuses paid to the agency’s top employees. Here’s a list of the KBA staff’s annualized salaries and benefits as well as the bonuses they received in 2010.

BRIEFING

1 | NEVADA

Man dies after falling into mine shaft A father of five children has died after falling into a mine shaft so deep and treacherous that rescuers had to abandon efforts to reach him while he was still alive, officials said Saturday. Devin Westenskow, 28, of Evanston, Wyo., worked at a geothermal drilling operation in Nevada and had gone exploring Wednesday with two friends during his off-hours when he fell 190 feet into the open shaft northeast of Reno. His family thanked rescue workers in a statement that also identified Westenskow. The decision to end the rescue came after two unsuccessful attempts by search teams to descend into the shaft, where Westenskow was trapped in debris, said Doran Sanchez, a U.S. Bureau of Land Management spokesman.

Student, 22, missing in Spain Family, friends and authorities from the United States and Spain searched Saturday for a San Diego State University exchange student who disappeared in Madrid more than a week ago. The university said Austin Taylor Bice, 22, was last seen by friends on Feb. 25. Provost Nancy Marlin said university officials have been in “constant contact” with Bice’s family and the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, where the college senior arrived in mid-January to spend a semester studying international business.

Prof. meant ‘no harm’ in demonstration A Northwestern University professor apologized Saturday for letting a couple demonstrate the use of a sex toy after one of his classes, but he said he still sees “absolutely no harm” in what happened. Psychology professor J. Michael Bailey said he regrets hurting Northwestern’s reputation and “upsetting so many people in this particular manner. I apologize.” The incident took place Feb. 21. After a class on human sexuality, Bailey invited students to stay for a discussion of sexual fetishes. He repeatedly warned that it would be graphic. The discussion included a woman who stripped and allowed her partner to use a sex toy on her.

4 | ITALY

Speaking Italian a must for immigrants Italy is the latest Western European country turning the screws on an expanding immigrant population by demanding language skills in exchange for work permits, or in some cases, citizenship. While enacted last year in the name of integration, these requirements also reflect anxiety that foreigners might dilute fiercely-prized national identity or even, especially in Britain’s case, pose terror risks. Some immigrant advocates worry that as harsh economic times make it harder for natives to keep jobs, such measures will become more a vehicle for intolerance than integration. Others say it’s only natural that newcomers learn the language of their host nation, seeing it as a condition to ensure they can contribute to society. So far, Italy is only giving a gentle turn to the screw. Test-takers described the exam as easy. No oral skills were tested.

I’m a little nervous,” said Farinella, 51, who has made a full recovery and trotted along the Kansas River with the other runners. Proceeds from the run, parade and several other upcoming events will benefit three area nonprofits: Cooper’s Cause, Imagine Drop-in

Child Care and Junior Achievement. Through the years, the parade and associated events have raised a total of more than $500,000 for local charities. Drummet said parade organizers hope to exceed last year’s fundraising total of about $50,000. “Just as much money as we possibly can,” Drummet said. — Reporter Shaun Hittle can be reached at 832-7173.

The House Pensions and Benefits Committee will continue hearing a wide range of bills concerning the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System. The committee will hear House Bill 2311 and House Bill 2333 at 9 a.m. Monday in room 142-South in the Capitol. Under 2311, the state would set up a 401(k)-type plan for employees hired after July 1, 2013. Under 2333, it would gradually increase the points — combination of age and service — required for retirement from 85 to 95. KPERS has a $7.7 billion gap between the value of its assets and future obligations. Gov. Sam Brownback has said fixing the long-term funding problems is one of his top priorities. KPERS officials have said that current benefits to retirees are safe. QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“

Ever since the 2005 school finance lawsuit, I have seen a consistent antieducation sentiment from the right wing of the Republican Party.” — House Democratic Leader Paul Davis of Lawrence

Death penalty repeal pending in committee Sister Helen Prejean, a nationally recognized opponent of the death penalty, was in the Capitol last week urging repeal of the death penalty in Kansas. Last year, the Kansas Senate fell one vote short of approving a bill to abolish the death penalty. This year, House Bill 2323, pending in the House Federal and State Affairs Committee, would do away with the death penalty and provide a life-without-parole sentence for murders committed after July 1. Federal and State Affairs Chairman Rep. Steve Brunk, R-Bel Aire, said he hasn't decided whether to have a hearing on the measure. “It's not on my short list,” he said.

Senate leaders cool to voter ID bill Senate Republican leaders said there is broad support to require a photo ID to vote, but not so much for other provisions of a bill that is being pushed by Secretary of State Kris Kobach, a Republican.

Rotarians to make Haiti food packages HUTCHINSON (AP) — Hutchinson’s Rotary Club is planning an event to package 260,000 meals for families still homeless after last year’s earthquake in Haiti. Josie Thompson, vice president of Hutchinson’s Rotary Club, says they’re hoping to enlist about 1,500 volunteers to tackle the humongous food packaging event April 16. They’ll be scooping together cups of soy, rice, freeze-dried beans and 21 vitamins and minerals. The ingredients are then measured into bags, sealed, boxed and prepared for ship-

The individual stamp the artists put on their marble-making process is what has drawn Ron Keller, of Hays, to the event the past two years. “I like the demonstrations,” Keller said. “I like to see what the artists are doing, look at their techniques. It’s interesting to see how different their techniques are. I just love to come and be around all of it and see what the artists are doing. It’s just a great event.” Most of the artists this year were returning from demonstrating at Marble Crazy in the past. Jes Durfee, who works as a professional marble and glass artist in Duluth, Minn., has attended Marble Crazy the past three years. He said for him to become a marble artist was almost destined, given the fact his mother’s maiden name is Marble. “That’s why I felt so connected with marbles — ’cause I am a Marble,” said Durfee, who has been a glass artist for 10 years. Also returning for the third year was Sammy Flowers, also from Duluth, Minn. He said he used to dabble in glass blowing, but then he attended his first Marble Crazy. “I was super inspired by all these legendary, really, really well-known marble makers,” said Flowers, who is now a

Army increase spurs Kansas population boost By John Milburn Associated Press Writer

TOPEKA — Kansas continues to see the effects of the Pentagon’s decision in 2005 to increase the military’s presence in the state, reflected by the results of the 2010 Census. Geary County, home to Fort Riley and the Army’s 1st Infantry Division, was the fastest growing county in Kansas between 2000 and 2010. The county, located on the western edge of Fort Riley, saw its population grow by 23 percent to 34,362 residents. John Armbrust, executive director of the Governor’s Military Council, said it was expected that a large majority of the growth in Geary and Riley counties would be due to the return of the 1st Infantry Division. But he says there are other factors, such as the growth of Kansas State University and economic activity in Pottawatomie County to the east. “I would think that really, the way that I like to put it, the economic floor has been raised to a different level,” Armbrust said. He said there are “new baselines for sales taxes that are higher, and higher economic activity in the region because of that growth.“ Pottawatomie and Riley counties saw their populations grow 19 percent and 13 percent, respectively. “It’s good to see the confirmation that the growth is actually happening in the area,” said Gerry Vernon, city

Geary County, home to Fort Riley and the Army’s 1st Infantry Division, was the fastest growing county in Kansas between 2000 and 2010. The county, located on the western edge of Fort Riley, saw its population grow by 23 percent to 34,362 residents. manager in Junction City. “Truly, it’s exciting.” When the division headquarters returned from Germany in 2006, the 1st Infantry Division stood around 11,000 soldiers at Fort Riley. That population has grown to more than 18,500, not counting families, creating a need in the surrounding communities for homes, apartment complexes, schools and basic services. According to the most recent Fort Riley statistics, the Army post founded in 1853 as an outpost for settlers and traders on the Santa Fe Trail has a $2.2 billion contribution to the Kansas economy. The BRAC process also brought additional missions to McConnell Air Force Base in Wichita, home to an air refueling wing, and Fort Leavenworth where the Army’s Command and General Staff College is based. The military also consolidated regional prisons by constructing a medium-security facility adjacent to the U.S. Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth, causing the need for additional sol-

diers and civilians to staff the prison. Armbrust said the Wichita area is large enough that increased Air Force activities wouldn’t be as pronounced on the community, but the additions to Fort Leavenworth would be felt there. Fort Leavenworth is the oldest continuously staffed Army post west of the Mississippi, founded in 1827. The only loss was the closure of the Kansas Army Ammunition Plant in Parsons. Vernon said Junction City built more than 100 homes last year and 200 in 2009, though there are still vacancies in half to two-thirds of the areas slated for new family development available. “The city responded to the call for more homes and residential. We got it all in, it’s there waiting,” Vernon said. “We’re providing the opportunity and waiting with open arms.” Vernon said with the county growing in population, Geary may become a target for businesses that look at population before deciding to locate. What the city does need, he said, were more shops, restaurants and a 24hour pharmacy to satisfy residents’ needs. Connie Hall, director of the Geary County Convention and Visitors Bureau, said the region is getting attention from people who are curious about Fort Riley, Manhattan and the Flint Hills in general. The bureau has worked to put information in the hands of soldiers and their families when

they arrive or when they visit for official Army ceremonies. “We’ve had a big influx and it’s been steady,” Hall said, noting that Junction City prides itself as “The Hometown of Fort Riley.” State Sen. Roger Reitz, a Manhattan Republican and former city commissioner, said there have been challenges created by the growth, including the scope and timing of building projects to meet the needs of soldiers and their families. However, Reitz said the Department of Homeland Security’s decision to build a new $650 million National Bio- and Ag ro-Defense Facility adjacent to Kansas State University and the Army’s construction of a new hospital at Fort Riley were the next phases of growth. Combined they represent more than $1 billion in federal funding, translating to construction jobs for the next few years. “That’s an incredible bounce,” Reitz said. He also said the availability of flights out of Manhattan’s regional airport has helped development by providing daily access to Dallas and Chicago. “And the parking lot is big and it’s free,” Reitz said. Armbrust said the growth at Fort Riley is completed, but it has set the stage for future community development that was expected to lag the rapid increase in soldier populations and more than $1 billion in new construction on the post.

More than 100 homes were damaged, many of them destroyed, authorities said, and about 1,500 people were evacuated because of natural gas leaks. Maxine Trahan, a spokeswoman for the Acadia Parish Sheriff’s Office, said 21-yearold Jalisa Granger was killed when a tree fell on her house. “She sheltered the child to protect her from the storm and a tree fell on the house and it killed the mother but the child was OK,” Trahan said, adding that a relative who lived nearby found them. Debris was littered throughout Rayne, a town of about 8,500 people, after a line of violent thunderstorms moved through the area and left behind a swath of damage about a quarter of a mile wide to three miles long. Pieces of homes were strewn about the tops of trees, and power lines were down. A U.S. Postal Service truck was flipped to its side. “It’s a mess back there — a lot of damage,” Trahan said. The community is near Route 10 and about 70 miles west of Baton Rouge.

A TORNADO SLAMMED the southwestern Louisiana town of Rayne on Saturday, killing a young mother and injuring 11 other people. More than 100 homes were damaged. Trahan said the natural gas leaks, which were later fixed, delayed authorities trying to count how many homes and businesses were damaged. About 1, 500 people were ordered out of the area for the night, she said, because officials feared more gas leaks could occur. A temporary shelter was set up at a fire station — about two dozen displaced persons were there Saturday night — and officials were working to find other shelters. A curfew was imposed for the storm-damaged area and will remain in effect until at least 6 a.m. “There are houses off their foundations,” said State Police Trooper Stephen

Hammons. “There are houses that have been destroyed.” The National Weather Service sent a team to investigate and confirmed a tornado had struck the area.

JUST FOOD WAREHOUSE VOLUNTEER BARBARA PITNER stands near shelves of food bank items as she prepares grocery bags for people to pick up on Feb. 25. Currently the food supplies are low and Just Food is in need of money and donated food items.

Just Food CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

The family — the fourth member is a 16-year-old son — was down to its last $10 in food stamps. They started using the pantry in November after the father lost his job as a mover. To qualify for food assistance, a household must fall at or below 185 percent of the federal poverty guideline. That’s an annual income of $20,147 for one person, $27,214 for two; and $41,348 for four. Bizz O’Brien, 66, started using the pantry a month ago. She said she lives on $1,000 monthly Social Security payments. O’Brien retired in March 2009 as a customer information specialist at Lawrence Memorial Hospital. “If you can cut back on every other area, this is a godsend,” she said. Douglas County residents are allowed to access the pantry once a month. They get a sack or box full of food, depending on the size of their household. They also get to pick four special items: soy sauce, salad dressing, soap and vitamins. They can take as much bread as they want, as often as they want. A 29-year-old man grabbed a 10-pound bag of pasta from the specialty shelves. “Gotta love this. It will last for months,” he said, as he tossed it into his shopping cart. Last October, he lost his job as laborer and now works as a newspaper carrier. His f iancée lost her job two weeks ago. He said they can’t keep up with their bills. “This really sees us through,” he said. Just Food moved from a closet-sized pantry in the United Way building to the warehouse at 1200 E. 11th St. thanks to a one-year $250,000 federal grant. The warehouse

THE JUST FOOD PANTRY is at 1200 E. 11th St. Since opening in October 2009, it has served 26,542 individuals. On Feb. 25, 37 families used the pantry.

“

If you can cut back on every other area, this is a godsend.” — Bizz O’Brien, 66, who started using the Just Food pantry a month ago opened in October 2009. It is part of the Harvesters Community Food Network in Kansas City, Mo., and obtains nonperishable and perishable items at a reduced cost. It has freezers and refrigerators, and can store tons of food. A 25-year-old case manager stopped by to show off her 2-month-old baby boy and to grab some bread from the pantry. Before having the baby, she only brought clients to the pantry. Now she is using it, too. She’d lost her job in October, but soon landed another. However, she hadn’t been at her job long enough to qualify for paid maternity leave. So she and her boyfriend lived six weeks without much of an income. He is going to school and works less than part time. They are living paycheck to paycheck. They have maxed out credit cards to pay for rent, utilities and medical care. They had peanut butter, but no bread. She said they were down to a few canned meats and not much else. She’s glad that she’s breastfeeding.

“I can’t imagine if I had to be paying for formula. That would be scary.” Just Food needs to raise $100,000 by mid-April or it faces closure. Since announcing its need a couple of weeks ago, it has raised $25,441.75. It received a $10,000 donation in the mail Feb. 23 that stunned staff and volunteers. When longtime volunteer Nikki Dyke opened the envelope, she let out a scream. At 58, he was filling out paperwork and accessing a food pantry for the first time. He has been unemployed for 51 days, the first 41 of them spent in a hospital because he suffered a stroke while pulling out of his driveway. It has caused cognitive problems and weakness; doctors don’t want him to drive. His longtime girlfriend, 51, has been on disability since 2007 because of a liver diagnosis. They half-heartedly joked about how they’ve gone from riches to rags because of their health. At one time, they both had good-paying jobs. “We are just cutting every corner we can.” The pantry served 1,215 people, including 420 children, in February. Since opening, it has served 26,542. — Health reporter Karrey Britt can be reached at 832-7190. Read her health blog at WellCommons.com, and follow her at Twitter.com.

Candidates CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Sven Alstrom Alstrom, a Lawrence architect, is the only candidate in the field who has expressed signif icant reservations about the city’s decision to take over ownership of the environmentally blighted former Farmland Industries plant on the eastern edge of the city. “I would have liked to Alstrom have seen less city involvement in that process,” Alstrom said. “My fear is that we get stuck with a big cost or a big liability.” Alstrom, though, said he does agree that the 467-acre former fertilizer plant is an eyesore and needs to be cleaned up. He also said he’s in agreement with the city’s plan to convert the property into an industrial/business park. Alstrom also disagrees with those who say Lawrence has had a “business unfriendly” attitude in the past. Alstrom, an architect, said he’s seen regulations in lots of communities that are tougher to deal with than Lawrence’s. “To expect no constraints upon business is not a rational approach,” Alstrom said. “I don’t think our constraints are that bad. I think a lot of the talk about being business unfriendly is rhetoric. We have to have some constraints but still promote healthy growth.” On other topics, Alstrom: ● Believes the community erred when it failed to close the deal to land an American Eagle Outfitters Warehouse project slated to be built near the East Hills Business Park. The American Eagle project was proposed during the beginning of the last decade, but it is getting lots of talk on this year’s campaign trail. The warehouse eventually was built in Ottawa after opposition arose to a requested tax abatement and the wages proposed by the company. ● Believes offering tax abatements and other economic development incentives to companies is generally reasonable, as long as city policies measuring costs versus benefits are weighed. “When you look at the entire city budget and what these incentives may cost, it is really very little,” Alstrom said. ● Wants to do a better job of reaching out to Johnson County entrepreneurs to determine if there’s potential for them to be involved in Lawrence projects. Hugh Carter Carter, a local financial adviser, stresses that Lawrence leaders must be flexible when considering future economic development projects. Carter said he wants to at least discuss the possibility of removing the “living wage” requirement that currently is attached to the city’s tax

abatement policy. “I think we absolutely have to revisit it,” Carter said. “I’m not saying it has to change, but I want to Carter get comfortable that the living wage idea is still one that makes sense.” Carter is supportive of the city’s decision to take over the Farmland site, but he said he wants to be flexible in determining how it will develop. He proposes the city develop at least three sets of plans for the site, then actively shop the plans to partners that could make them reality. He also said he would consider significant commercial development for parts of the property, an idea the current City Commission has balked at. “I definitely have heard about the shortage of quality industrial sites, but I still would be open to listening to whatever folks think will bring us the biggest bang for our buck at that site,” Carter said. On other issues, Carter: ● Is “very much in favor” of efforts to attract industrial projects to the area near the Lecompton interchange on Interstate 70. He said its access to I-70 makes the area a good fit for future industrial development. ● Expressed, as all the candidates did, support for the city’s efforts to attract more bioscience companies. But he said the community needs more technical training facilities for jobs that don’t require a college degree. ● Wants the city to develop more relationships with leaders in university communities that have successfully been adding jobs. “We have to get outside of our own world here and look at some of the best practices elsewhere,” Carter said.

Mike Dever Dever, owner of an environmental consulting firm and the only incumbent seeking re-election, said some of Lawrence’s job struggles have stemmed from the community being focused more on residential development than on economic development. “I think for awhile we were focused more on residents than on providing residents a Dever place to work,” Dever said. He believes the current commission has restored a focus to economic development. He was a supporter of the city’s decision to take over the Farmland site and to partner with KU and others on a new bioscience incubator. He thinks the partnership with KU is critical to success. “In the past the city didn’t focus enough on building a partnership with the University of Kansas,” Dever said. “I think we’ve taken big steps with limited resources to build partnerships for busi-

WISCONSIN

Associated Press Writer

MADISON , W IS . — Negotiations have stalled in Wisconsin over Republican-backed efforts to strip most public workers from their collective bargaining rights, a Democratic lawmaker said Saturday as pro-union demonstrators neared their third straight week of protests at the state Capitol. Sen. Tim Cullen said talks with Republicans broke down Thursday but communication lines remain open. Cullen said it’s difficult for either side to compromise, since Democrats don’t want to lose support from their base and Republican Gov. Scott Walker doesn’t want to appear weak by backing down. Cullen was among the 14 Democratic senators who fled Wisconsin to block a vote on the bill, which Walker has said is needed to help ease a state budget deficit projected to hit $3.6 billion by mid-2013. Walker’s spokesman didn’t return a message Saturday, though the governor has said that he won’t compromise on the collective bargaining issue or anything that saves the state money. Two other senators who fled the state joined the Rev. Jesse Jackson in Chicago to urge Walker to negotiate with workers. Sen. Lena Taylor said Democrats left because they “needed to slow the bill down” after it was approved unchanged in the state Assembly. “I ask the governor, ‘do

Michael Moore rallies pro-union protesters MADISON, WIS. (AP) — Liberal filmmaker Michael Moore urged Wisconsin residents Saturday to fight against Republican efforts to strip most public workers of their collective bargaining rights, telling thousands of protesters that “Madison is only the beginning.” The crowd roared in approval as Moore implored demonstrators to keep up their struggle against Republican Gov. Scott Walker’s legislation, saying they’ve galvanized the nation against the wealthy elite and comparing their fight to Egypt’s revolt. He also thanked the 14 state Democratic senators who fled Wisconsin to block a vote on the bill, saying they’ll go down in history books. “We’re going to do this together. Don’t give up. your job. Come to the table and speak to Wisconsin workers.’ We agree that fiscally we need to do things differently. We even agree that there are some places where we need to talk about how we negotiate,” Taylor said. “However we refuse to accept in America that we don’t believe that a voice at the table is an option. It is not an option of a leader, and it surely is not the Wisconsin way.” Sen. Chris Larson urged protesters to stay strong. “We’ve been here for the last 16 days we’ll continue to be here until worker’s rights are removed as the target in

Please don’t give up,” Moore told the protesters, who have swarmed the Capitol every day for close to three weeks. Police said there were “tens of thousands” of protesters but didn’t give a specific count. The vast majority of the crowd was pro-union, and no one was arrested or cited. Rallies drew huge crowds the previous two Saturdays, too: about 70,000 on Feb. 19, and an even larger one on Feb. 26. Moore told them that the wealthy have overreached, first taking the working class’ money and then taking their souls by shutting them up at the bargaining table. The crowd yelled “thank you” before Moore began to speak, and he responded: “All of America thanks you, Wisconsin.” this budget repair bill by our governor,” he said. Opponents see Walker’s bill as an effort to weaken unions, and protests have drawn tens of thousands of people to Madison since activists began a sit-in at the Capitol nearly three weeks ago. A judge late last week ended protesters’ overnight stays, but several hundred were back in the rotunda Saturday afternoon chanting “Who’s house? Our house!” and “Hey-hey, ho-ho, Scott Walker’s got to go!” Renee Peplinski, a fifthgrade teacher in Wisconsin Rapids, said she doesn’t mind making financial concessions

Obama willing to cut more spending

Dems, GOP stall union bill discussions By Todd Richmond

to help the state even though it would hurt her family. She’s more concerned about losing her collective bargaining rights. Without union protections, teachers would be at the mercy of administrators who could decide to f ire them for any perceived slight, she said. “Every teacher I know is depressed,” said Peplinski, 42. “Every minute of the day there’s this black cloud.” Outside, hundreds of people marched in the streets, banging drums and carrying signs that read “No one has ever died from overexposure to education” and “Worst bill ever.” Hundreds more waited to get into the Capitol. Walker has said the bill is needed to ease a deficit that could hit $137 million by July and $3.6 billion by the middle of 2013. His proposal comes up with the money for this year in part by forcing state employees to pay for half the cost of their pensions and twice their current health care premiums — concessions equivalent to an 8 percent pay cut. With the labor bill stalled, Walker said he has to issue layoff notices starting Friday so the state can start to realize the $30 million savings he had assumed would come from the concessions. The layoffs wouldn’t be effective for 31 days, and Walker said he could rescind them if the bill passed in the meantime. All state workers, except those at prisons, state hospitals and other facilities open around the clock, would be potential layoff targets.

WASHINGTON (MCT) — President Barack Obama said Saturday that he was prepared to make deeper spending cuts than his initial budget offer to Republicans as the White House seeks to avoid stopgap measures that officials worry could breed uncertainty in the economy. Republicans panned the administration’s opening bid of $6.5 billion in reductions beyond those already approved by Congress. Republicans are seeking $60 billion in cuts. With the parties stalemated over the scope of budget reductions, Congress passed a temporary bill to fund the government through March 18,

which Obama signed into law. Congressional leaders further agreed at a closed-door meeting last week with Vice President Joe Biden to quickly hold a series of votes to gauge support for the Republican and Democratic proposals. The Senate is set to vote early next week on the White House’s proposed cuts through the remainder of the fiscal year as well as the Housepassed GOP proposal. Neither package is expected to advance, but leaders from both parties see value in holding the votes so resistant lawmakers will understand they need to bridge the deep divide. Both parties want to avoid a government shutdown.

LIBYA

Rebels, Gadhafi forces make gains A LIBYAN REBEL who is part of the forces against Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi holds a rocket-propelled grenade launcher at a forward position in the village of Bin Jawwad, west of the recently captured oil town of Ras Lanuf, eastern Libya on Saturday.

By Maggie Michael and Paul Schemm Associated Press Writers

TRIPOLI, LIBYA — Government forces in tanks rolled into the opposition-held city closest to Tripoli after blasting it with artillery and mortar fire, while rebels captured a key oil port and pushed toward Moammar Gadhafi’s hometown in a seesaw Saturday for both sides in the bloody battle for control of Libya. With the Gadhafi regime’s tanks prowling the center of the city of Zawiya, west of Tripoli, residents ferried the wounded from the fierce fighting in private cars to a makeshift clinic in a mosque, fearing that any injured taken to the military-controlled hospital “will be killed for sure,” one rebel said after nightfall. The rival successes — by Gadhafi’s forces in entering resistant Zawiya, and by the rebels in taking over the port of Ras Lanouf — signaled an increasingly long and violent battle that could last weeks or months and veered the country ever closer to civil war. Rebels in the east advanced from their eastern stronghold toward Sirte, setting the stage for fierce fighting with proGadhaf i forces who hold sway in the tribal area. Western leaders focused on humanitarian aid instead of military intervention, and the Italian naval vessel Libra left from Catania, Sicily, for the rebel-held port of Benghazi in eastern Libya, with 25 tons of emergency aid, including milk, rice, blankets, emergency generators, water purifying devices and tents. It is due to arrive early Monday. The crisis in Libya has distinguished itself from the other uprisings sweeping the Arab world, with Gadhafi unleashing a violent crackdown against his political opponents, who themselves have taken up arms in their attempt to remove him from office after ruling the country for more than 41 years. Hundreds have been killed.

Gadhafi has drawn international condemnation for his actions. President Barack Obama has insisted that Gadhaf i must leave and said Washington was considering a full range of options, including the imposition of a “nofly” zone over Libya. The storming of Zawiya, a city of some 200,000 people just 30 miles west of Tripoli, began with a surprise dawn attack by pro-Gadhafi forces f iring mortar shells and machine guns. “The number of people killed is so big. The number of the wounded is so big. The number of tanks that entered the city is big,” the rebel in Zawiya said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he feared government reprisal. The rebels vowed to keep up the fight in the city. Witnesses who spoke to The Associated Press by telephone with gunf ire and explosions in the background said the shelling damaged government buildings and homes. Several fires sent heavy black smoke over the city, and witnesses said snipers shot at anybody on the streets, including residents on balconies.

The rebels initially retreated to positions deeper in the city before they launched a counteroffensive in which they regained some ground, according to three residents and activists who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals. By midafternoon, the rebels had reoccupied central Martyrs’ Square while the pro-regime forces regrouped on the city’s fringes, sealing off the city’s entry and exit routes, the witnesses said. Members of the elite Khamis Brigade, named for one of Gadhafi’s sons who commands it, have been massed outside the city for days. The pro-Gadhafi forces then blasted Zawiya with artillery and mortar fire in late afternoon before the tanks and troops on foot came in, firing at buildings and people, witnesses said. Deputy Foreign Minister Khaled Qaid said “99 percent” of Zawiya is under government control. The rebels fared better in the east, capturing the key oil port of Ras Lanouf on Friday night in their first military victory in a potentially long and arduous westward march.

Protests continue in Yemen, Oman SANAA , Y EMEN (AP) — Yemen’s besieged president defiantly rejected a proposal Saturday to leave office early and possibly end weeks of protests and bloodshed, while Oman’s ruler pushed out three more top-level officials in attempts to quell widening demands for economic reforms and justice for the killing of a demonstrator. Hundreds of Egyptians gathered outside Cairo offices of the nation’s internal security services — the main enforcers of Hosni Mubarak’s former regime — a day after protesters beat officials inside the agency’s building in the Mediterranean port of Alexandria. In Saudi Arabia, authorities banned all forms of demonstration as calls grow for protest marches Friday in the Western-allied kingdom. President Ali Abdullah Saleh — a key U.S. ally in the campaign against al-Qaida — dug in deeper. He rebuffed an offer by an opposition coalition to end the country’s political crisis by stepping down by the end of the year. He instead stuck to his pledge to stay in office until elections in 2013 but not seek reelection. In neighboring Oman, meanwhile, Sultan Qaboos bin Said, who has led the nation for four decades, is tossing out more concessions to try to bring an end to a rare show of dissent. Protesters — including oil workers in the south — are pressing for more jobs and economic and political reforms. But unlike the other countries they have pledged their loyalty to the hereditary monarch. The sultan replaced three top government positions Saturday — just a week after dismissing six other Cabinet officials.

EDITORIALS

Vital growth Lawrence and Douglas County still are among the fastest growing areas of Kansas, but we shouldn’t take our good fortune for granted.

hen 77 Kansas counties saw their populations decline in the last decade, population increases of about 10 percent in Lawrence and Douglas County don’t look too bad. Nonetheless the local increases represent the lowest population gains since the Great Depression. That may not be cause for alarm, but it’s something local officials shouldn’t accept too easily. Figures released last week from the 2010 U.S. Census showed that Douglas County’s population had grown by 10.9 percent to 110,826; Lawrence’s population stood at 87,643, an increase of 9.4 for the decade. Both of those figures were well above the state’s overall population growth of 6.1 percent. In general, the bigger counties in Kansas got bigger and the smaller, rural counties got smaller in the 2010 count. Twenty-three Kansas counties lost more than 10 percent of their population in the last decade. Douglas County was one of only nine counties with population gains of more than 10 percent. All of those counties are grouped around the state’s largest population centers in Wichita and northeast Kansas. Johnson County grew by 20 percent and remained the state’s largest county, but another notable growth area was in the three-county area that includes Manhattan and Fort Riley. Geary County was the fastest-growing county in the state at 23 percent; its neighbors, Riley and Pottawatomie counties, recorded growth of 13.6 percent and 18.6 percent, respectively. Lawrence and Douglas County officials were looking at the bright side of the new Census figures. County Administrator Craig Weinaug said he was “very happy with” the 1 percent annual growth rate. Mayor Mike Amyx said every community sees ups and downs in population cycles and Lawrence was fortunate to still be growing. City Manager David Corliss noted that accurate population figures are important to a variety of planning and infrastructure decisions facing the city. The city needs to be realistic about its population projections but it also must take the right steps to encourage continued growth. The new Census figures provide ample evidence of how important some level of growth is to a community’s vitality and economic well being. Many Kansas communities would be more than happy to accept the news Lawrence and Douglas County received from the Census Bureau last week, but local officials shouldn’t take growth, or its accompanying benefits, for granted. In fact, they should aim for an even greater increase by 2020.

Careless candidates muddle GOP race WASHINGTON — If pessimism is not creeping on little cat’s feet into Republicans’ thinking about their 2012 presidential prospects, that is another reason for pessimism. This is because it indicates they do not understand that sensible Americans, who pay scant attention to presidential politics at this point in the electoral cycle, must nevertheless be detecting vibrations of weirdness emanating from people associated with the party. The most recent vibrator is Mike Huckabee, the former gov-

George Will

georgewill@washpost.com

“

To the notion that Obama has a ‘Kenyan, anti-colonial’ worldview, the sensible response is: If only. Obama’s natural habitat is as American as the nearest faculty club … ” ernor of Arkansas who won the 2008 Republican caucuses in Iowa and reached that year’s national convention with more delegates than Mitt Romney, and might run again. Huckabee, now a Fox News host, was asked by Steve Malzberg, a talk radio host, this: “Don’t you think it’s fair also to ask (Barack Obama) ... how come we don’t have a health record, we don’t have a college record, we don’t have a birth cer — why, Mr. Obama, did you spend millions of dollars in courts all over this country to defend against having to present a birth certificate. It’s one thing to say, I’ve — you’ve seen it, goodbye. But why go to court and send lawyers to defend against having to show it? Don’t you think we deserve to know more about this man?” Huckabee should have replied, “I’ve seen paranoia, goodbye.” Instead, he said:

“I would love to know more. What I know is troubling enough. And one thing that I do know is his having grown up in Kenya. ...” Huckabee thereupon careened off into the (he thinks) related subject of Obama having sent back to the British Embassy in Washington a bust of Winston Churchill that Obama’s predecessor had displayed in the Oval Office: “ ... a great insult to the British. But then if you think about it, his perspective as growing up in Kenya with a Kenyan father and grandfather, their view of the Mau Mau revolution in Kenya is very different than ours because he probably grew up hearing that the British were a bunch of imperialists.” The architects and administrators of the British Empire were imperialists? Perish the thought. A contemporary of William Jennings Bryan once said of the three-time Democratic presidential nominee, “One could drive a prairie schooner through any part of his argument and never scrape against a fact.” But an absence of facts means there is no argument. A spokesman for Huckabee dutifully lied, saying his employer “simply misspoke”: “The governor meant to say the president

grew up in Indonesia.” Obama did not really grow up there — he spent just five of his first 18 years there and the other 13 years in Hawaii. But obviously Huckabee, with his dilation on the Mau Maus, was deliberately referring to Kenya. Unless Huckabee thinks the Mau Maus were Indonesians, which he might count as another “one thing that I do know.” Republicans should understand that when self-described conservatives such as Malzberg voice question-rants like the one above, and Republicans do not recoil from them, the conservative party is indirectly injured. As it is directly when Newt Gingrich, who seems to be theatrically tiptoeing toward a presidential candidacy, speculates about Obama having a “Kenyan, anti-colonial” mentality. A magazine article containing what Gingrich calls a “stunning insight” is “the most profound insight I have read in the last six years about Barack Obama.” Gingrich begins with a faux question: “What if he is so outside our comprehension” he can be understood “only if you understand Kenyan, anti-colonial behavior?” Then Gingrich says this is not just a question, it is

Going goofy in a Google world Google: There’s no escape from it. Today, you must google or be utterly marginalized, exiled to the peripheries of society like a pariah dog. And yet, who does not feel a profound sense of foolishness every time he googles, or advises someone else to google or pronounces the word, “google?” When I say “google,” I feel as if I should be wearing diapers, drooling and sucking my thumb. Sometimes, instead of counting sheep, I conjugate the verb “to google.” Am I doomed to perish in a fit of googling? The next time I say “google,” I shall scream. My chief complaint about the technological and digital revolutions is the infantile vocabulary it forces us to use. How can anyone go on about “apps” and “blogs” and “bytes” without feelings of stupidity, shame and disgust? How can anyone who proposes to “tweet” or “twitter” retain his dignity and self-respect? It sounds like the chirping of peabrained sparrows. Either the inventors of these miraculous technologies are arrested in infancy themselves or they’re trying to drive their parents back to the helpless state of babyhood. I understand that the young need to distinguish themselves from the dowdy, boring world of grownups, to shed the gray flannel suits, the button down collars and the wingtip shoes of the older generation and make a fetish of T-shirts, sneakers and jeans. I understand their contempt for companies with boring names such as Amalgamated Widgets, Consolidated Dingbats and Diversified Yardarms. But what perverse impulse inspired Jerry Yang and David Filo to name their company “Yahoo!?” Yahoos are those foul, cunning, malicious, treacherous, revengeful, noisome, cowardly, insolent, abject, cruel creatures Gulliver encountered in his

“

Stand in front of your bathroom mirror and say ‘wiki.’ Can you take the person in the mirror seriously? Would you want to be seen in public with him? Would you, in the cloying jargon of our times, want to ‘friend’ him?” “Travels.” Is that what the creators of “Yahoo!” think of you and me? I’m not sure people my age are equipped to survive in this world of hashtags, Tweetdecks, Hootsuite, Twitterfeed and Retweet. What is a Retweet? A Retweet, according to Twitter, is what you use “when you come across a Tweet that you just have to share.” Here’s what you do: You “hover over a Tweet, click the retweet link and the Tweet will then be forwarded to all your followers.” I have never come across a Tweet. I wouldn’t know what to do with it if I did. I have no “followers.” Nor to my knowledge do I have the ability to “hover.” O, brave new world. I feel as if I’m beginning to lose my grip. Forty percent of Tweets amount to “pointless babble,” according to a study. But defenders of Twittering counter that what the study calls “pointless babble” is really “social grooming” or “peripheral awareness.” Got that? Or did you execute a

“fail whale” (error message — hit computer with a baseball bat.) By the way, the first human beings to blog were cavemen. (Blogs were the cudgels they used to bash Gigabytes, the 70-ton carnivorous lizards that roamed the earth in those days.) A former employee of Google is a “Xoogler.” “Deezer” is a French company that sells subscriptions to its digital music library. A “wiki” (according to Wikipedia) is a “piece of server software that allows users to freely create and edit web page content using any web browser.” Is this what we were put on earth to do? Stand in front of your bathroom mirror and say “wiki.” Can you take the person in the mirror seriously? Would you want to be seen in public with him? Would you, in the cloying jargon of our times, want to “friend” him? (One pundit confessed that “WikiLeaks” reminded him of the adults diapers, Depends.) Where did I get this information? I googled it, of course. The past participle of google is gaggle …or is it gobble? With a gobble gobble here and a gobble gobble there. Texting becomes sexting and before you know it everyone is “gorgling” and “piffling.” Anyea-ooh-yea-eek-spay-igpayatin-lay? That’s “Can you speak Pig Latin?” in Pig Latin, the hightech language we spoke when I was young. Tweet and Retweet went down to the river. Tweet fell in. Who was left? (Don’t answer that.)

“the most accurate, predictive model for his behavior.” To the notion that Obama has a “Kenyan, anti-colonial” worldview, the sensible response is: If only. Obama’s natural habitat is as American as the nearest faculty club; he is a distillation of America’s academic mentality; he is as American as the other professor-president, Woodrow Wilson. A question for former history professor Gingrich: Why implicate Kenya? Let us not mince words. There are at most five plausible Republican presidents on the horizon — Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, former Utah Gov. and departing ambassador to China Jon Huntsman, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty. So the Republican winnowing process is far advanced. But the nominee may emerge much diminished by involvement in a process cluttered with careless, delusional, egomaniacal, spotlight-chasing candidates to whom the sensible American majority would never entrust a lemonade stand, much less nuclear weapons. — George Will is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

OLD HOME TOWN

On a 3-2 vote, Lawrence city commissioners approved new handgun regulaYEARS tions including the AGO establishment of a 72IN 1986 hour waiting period at time of purchase. Mayor Mike Amyx and Commissioner Ernest Angino were opposed to the measure, even suggesting holding a referendum before taking action.

For some time, the Journal-World's editorial page had included a large quotation at the YEARS top, "I do not agree AGO with a word that you IN 1971 say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it," attributed to Voltaire. However, the newspaper had recently received an anonymous letter denying the source of the quotation. Editors questioned James Seaver, director of the Western Civilization program at Kansas University, and he responded that the quotation was believed to be apocryphal. Seaver referred the editor to Charles Warner, KU professor of history specializing in 18th century France, who said that if the quotation were in fact not authentic, the Journal-World was not the first to use it as a heading for an editorial page.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for March 6, 1911: "A STUDENT JOKE. YEARS Chanute, Kan. — When AGO the pianist at the high IN 1911 school here put on the loud pedal in the chapel, students downstairs thought school had been dismissed. Some physics student had connected an electric wire from the piano to the gong that gives the signal for dismissal on the first floor. The faculty was greatly mystified. ... The wag had concealed the wires so that the riddle was not solved for some time." — Compiled by Sarah St. John

Jayhawks claim league title outright By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

COLUMBIA, MO. — Marcus Morris chose casual attire for a rare in-season, Saturday night out on the town. “I didn’t bring it here. I’m going to wear it tonight (in Lawrence),” Morris, Kansas University’s junior forward, said of his yet-to-be-used 2010-11 Big 12 regular-season championship Tshirt. Tucked away in his apartment closet since late Wednesday night — when the Jayhawks

topped Texas A&M for a share of their seventh straight conference title — the shirt was ready to be revealed after Saturday’s 70-66 victory over Missouri in Mizzou Arena. It was a victory that not only snapped MU’s 17-game homecourt win streak, but also guaranteed the No. 2-ranked Jayhawks (29-2 overall, 14-2 Big 12) the league’s undisputed, outright crown. “We didn’t celebrate that much. It was OK,” Morris said of Please see KANSAS, page 8B

Johnson shores up point COLUMBIA, MO. — Looking more than ever like a not-readyfor-prime-time freshman, Kansas University guard Josh Selby couldn’t stop himself from either throwing it to the Missouri bench or dribbling it out of bounds. He tallied three turnovers in seven minutes. The team’s five best players — Marcus and Markieff Morris, Tyrel Reed, Thomas Robinson and Brady Morningstar — combined for 20 turnovers. For sloppy stretches in Saturday’s first half in Mizzou Arena, Kansas played so wildly it looked as if even the inevitable domination of the interior by the twins and Robinson might not compensate for the way the

‘Buzzsaw’ Olathe South ends FSHS girls’ season By Ben Ward Journal-World Sports Writer

O L A T H E — Free State High’s girls basketball team didn’t need any reminder of how out of hand Saturday’s sub-state championship game was, but it got one anyway. Just before the start of the fourth quarter, an announcement was made over the PA to drive the point home. The gist of the message: a running clock

would be employed for the final eight minutes due to the 30-plus disparity in point total. Saturday was not the Firebirds’ night. “We ran into a buzzsaw tonight,” coach Bryan Duncan said following Free State’s season-ending 65-41 drubbing at the John Young/Journal-WOrld Photo hands of defending state champion Olathe South at Olathe North KANSAS’ MARISHA BROWN, LEFT, and Krysten High.

nation’s second-ranked team surrendered the basketball at such an alarming rate. Early in the midst of all that craziness, sophomore point guard Elijah Johnson could be seen throwing up into a lined garbage can behind the KU bench. Not even two weeks ago,

such a sight might have elicited a response from Kansas-backers of, “Oh.” Now it merits an “Oh, no!” By not trying to advertise his value with look-at-me plays, Johnson has become that valuable to Kansas that quickly. The same player who until Tyshawn Taylor was suspended Feb. 21 for two games for violating a team rule was known best for his spectacular dunks has established himself as the team’s starting point guard. He’s done that by understanding his offensive role is to keep the ball moving so that the defense slips into catch-up mode and leaves Please see KEEGAN, page 9B

K-State women spoil Kansas’ Senior Night By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

In many ways, it was the perfect ending to the Kansas University women’s basketball team’s regular season. Good, but not good enough. Saturday night, in front of a loud and proud crowd of 5,751, Bonnie Henrickson’s club dropped a heartbreaker to instate rival Kansas State, 56-51, the second time this season that the

Wildcats topped the Jayhawks by five. Losing, and falling to 19-11 overall and 6-10 in Big 12 play, was bad enough. That the latest loss came in the final home game for two KU seniors was the really hard part. “This is a tough one to swallow,” senior Marisha Brown said. “It’s definitely a tough loss.

Sabbatini leads; Woodland in fourth PALM BEACH GARDENS, FLA. (AP) — After making consecutive birdies, Honda Classic leader Rory Sabbatini stood in the rough along the sixth fairway, complaining to a PGA Tour official about a delay in play and wondering what had become of the group just ahead of him. The strange interruption could

have halted Sabbatini’s momentum. Instead, after a long wait he hit an iron 200 yards to 10 feet of the pin, one of his best shots among the 66 Saturday that gave him a cushy lead. Sabbatini will enter the final round at 9-under 201, five shots ahead of Jerry Kelly and 2009 winner Y.E. Yang.

The wait at No. 6 occurred when Kelly, playing two groups ahead of Sabbatini, lodged a shot in a palm tree. A newspaper photographer’s zoom lens was used to identify the ball as Kelly’s, allowing him to avoid being penalized for a lost ball. The inspection took time, so the twosome behind Kelly played

through. Meanwhile, Sabbatini and playing partner Kyle Stanley waited and wondered how they had caught up with Kelly. Yang birdied the last two holes for a 3-under 67 and moved into a tie for second with Kelly, who shot a roller-coaster 68. Former Jayhawk Gary Woodland also had a 68 and was fourth, six shots behind.

COMMENTARY

Tar Heels contender for title By Luke DeCock McClatchy Newspapers

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — The ACC has another national-title contender, and it isn’t the defending national champions. Duke still has a shot, even after the Blue Devils couldn’t keep up with North Carolina on Saturday, but the Tar Heels showed just how far they have come — from last season, from a lackluster stretch to open this season and from last month’s loss to Duke in Durham. Throw out a baffling loss to Georgia Tech, and the Tar Heels have spent two months getting better and better, culminating in an authoritative 81-67 win over Duke. The team that lost in the third-place game in Puerto Rico finished atop the ACC — and has just as much of a chance to make a postseason run as Duke. Barring the extremely unexpected next week in Greensboro, the Blue Devils will have the higher NCAA seed, based on a more impressive overall resume, but there may not be anyone playing any better than the Tar Heels right now. There certainly is not in the ACC. If the Tar Heels’ growth needed underlining, consider a Senior Night ceremony oddly devoid of signature moments to recognize, without a single four-year scholarship senior on the roster — and would-be honoree Will Graves playing in Japan. This very young team has come a very long way, with Harrison Barnes shaking off those early growing pains to become as clutch a player as there is in the ACC, John Henson flourishing in the post and Kendall Marshall taking over, period. If there was one instant where the balance of power shifted Saturday, it was Marshall spinning past Tyler Thornton for a lay-in, a moment of such individual brilliance that it instantly earned a spot in all those sepia-toned montages of Great Plays in the History of the Rivalry. Marshall gave North Carolina a chance to win in the first meeting and he did more than that Saturday night, with 15 points, 11 assists and two turnovers. While Larry Drew II is busy planning to celebrate his 21st birthday Monday with Jamie Foxx, Marshall carried the Tar Heels to the top of the ACC in the wake of his departure. “I think they’re really good,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “I said that after we beat them in Cameron. I told you, I think they’re as good a team as we’ve played. That hasn’t changed for me. You have to play really well in order to get some stops against them.” Duke, meanwhile, had all its weaknesses exposed: A soft middle, especially with both Plumlees in foul trouble; a lack of depth, personified by Ryan Kelly’s struggles at both ends of the court; and Kyrie Irving watching from the bench in jeans and a sweatshirt, a reminder of what might have been if he’d stayed healthy. As Duke’s loss to Georgetown last year proves, these are not necessarily fatal faults. The Blue Devils looked eminently beatable that night last January and went 18-1 the rest of the way to win the ACC and NCAA tournaments. And they still have the best player in the ACC in Nolan Smith. But on this night in March, the Tar Heels demonstrated like they had not only closed the gap on Duke but the rest of the country as well. The Tar Heels showed Saturday they’re every bit the equal of the Blue Devils, with the same shot to win it all as the Blue Devils, this year or last.

Martin wins; Patrick finishes career-best 4th LAS VEGAS — Mark Martin knew he had to save gas to have any chance of winning the Nationwide Series race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Even then, he was going to need some help. He got it when leader Brad Keselowski cut a tire on the final lap of Saturday’s race, and Martin sailed past him for the victory. It was the fourth win in six Nationwide races at Las Vegas for Martin. “I can’t gloat. If Brad hadn’t had a tire problem, he looked like he would win,” Martin said. “All I could do is make sure we didn’t run out of gas.” The race most likely will be remembered, though, for Danica Patrick’s history-making run and not the last-lap dramatics. Patrick placed fourth, the best finish for a woman in a national NASCAR race since Sara Christian was fifth at Pittsburgh in 1949. “Awesome!” Martin said when told of Patrick’s finish. “I am really happy for her. That’s fantastic.”

AUTO RACING Robby Gordon on probation LAS VEGAS — NASCAR placed Robby Gordon on probation Saturday for an incident involving Kevin Conway in the garage at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. NASCAR officials didn’t witness the run-in between the drivers, which was brought to NASCAR’s attention by Conway, according to vice president of competition Robin Pemberton. He said the period of Gordon’s probation has yet to be determined.

HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL Michigan team will still play FENNVILLE, MICH. — A spokeswoman for a high school in western Michigan says it will participate in a state tournament game Monday, four days after its star basketball player hit a winning shot and then collapsed and died from a heart ailment. Holly McCaw says the decision was made Saturday after officials talked to the family of 16-year-old Wes Leonard. The undefeated Fennville High team also held a practice. Fennville will play Lawrence High in the first round of a district tournament Monday. The game was supposed to be played at Lawrence, but will be played instead at Hope College in Holland to handle a larger crowd. Leonard made a basket Thursday to give the Blackhawks a victory over Bridgman High. He died because of cardiac arrest due to an enlarged heart.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL Two Iowa State players arrested

NFL NFL, union taking weekend break WASHINGTON — Those optimistic about the NFL’s labor talks with the players’ union will point to the sides’ decision to push back the bargaining deadline by a week and think, as Commissioner Roger Goodell put it: “The fact that we’re continuing this dialogue is a positive sign.” And those who are pessimistic about where this all eventually is headed will recognize that, as league lead negotiator Jeff Pash described it: “We’ve got very serious issues. We’ve got significant differences.” That last observation has been obvious all along. Indeed, from shortly before Thanksgiving until the day before the Super Bowl in February, the sides went more than two months without sitting down in large groups for faceto-face, formal bargaining on a new collective bargaining agreement. The sides were using this weekend to assess their positions, before resuming talks in front of a federal mediator Monday — and then they will have until the end of Friday to reach a new CBA, thanks to two extensions of the old deal. It originally was to have expired last Thursday.

NBA Shaq’s return pushed back WALTHAM, MASS. — Celtics coach Doc Rivers says Shaquille O’Neal’s foot is still bothering him, pushing back his return to Boston’s lineup. Rivers had hoped to have O’Neal play Wednesday at home against the Clippers. He has been out since Feb. 1, missing 12 games due to soreness in his lower right leg and Achilles’ tendon.

Magic’s Howard suspended 1 game NEW YORK — Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard has been suspended for one game without pay for picking up his 16th technical foul of the season. He will serve the suspension Monday when the Magic are home against Portland. The penalty was announced Saturday by NBA executive Stu Jackson. Howard leads the NBA in technicals this season. His latest one came with 1:41 left in the first half Friday night against Chicago. With the Bulls up 43-29, Howard came down with an offensive rebound and was hit on the top of his head by Kyle Korver. Korver was whistled for a foul but took a swipe at the ball moments after the play. That prompted Howard to swing his elbows. The referee separated the players and also called a technical on Howard.

TENNIS AMES, IOWA — Two Iowa State football playU.S. has Davis Cup lead ers have been suspended from the team after

being arrested. Athletic department spokesman Tom Kroeschell says the suspensions of defensive end Jacob Lattimer and tight end Ricky Howard are indefinite. The 22-year-old Lattimer faces charges of assault on a peace officer and interference with official acts, while the 20-year-old Howard is suspected of operating while intoxicated.

SANTIAGO, CHILE — The United States is one victory from a showdown with Spain in the Davis Cup quarterfinals. Twins Bob and Mike Bryan put the Americans ahead of Chile 2-1 in the first round Saturday by beating the doubles team of Jorge Aguilar and Nicolas Massu 6-3, 6-3, 7-6 (4). Andy Roddick will be in position to clinch the best-of-five series when he faces Paul Capdeville in the first match today.

Firebirds

KU women

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

Any thought the Firebirds had of knocking off the Falcons (21-1) seemed to fizzle away in the opening minutes. Behind a flurry of easy layups and stick-backs, OSouth raced to a 10-point cushion, which ballooned to a 40-19 halftime lead after a 187 second quarter. “We were so excited and ready to go,” Alexa Gaumer said. “And then they hit that first fast break, and everyt h i n g we n t o ut t h e w i n dow.” Though star guard and Kansas University commit Natalie Knight only turned in a modest eight-point, five rebound performance, virtually every other Falcon went to work. Stacey Mgbike (14 points, 13 rebounds) and Alexandra Hugo (eight points, 10 rebounds) were simply too big and too powerful to contain down low, especially after Abbey Casady was whistled for two quick fouls. When the Falcons — who outrebounded Free State, 5029 — weren’t wreaking havoc down low, they were draining threes (six of 12 on the night) or knocking down jumpers on the outside. “They were just extremely aggressive,” Duncan said. “We just didn’t have an answer for that tonight.” While the Falcons came out rolling and never relented, the Firebirds sputtered on offense early and never found any sort of rhythm. Kennedy Kirkpatrick and Chelsea Casady each put in six points to lead FSHS, which shot 35 percent and was only 3-of-15 from behind the arc. “They forced us into a game we didn’t want to be in,” Duncan said, “in terms of taking quick shots and flying up and down the court.” Afterward, the Firebirds (11-11) seemed more upset about losing senior Paige Rothwell, likened to “another assistant coach” by her teammates, than falling to a superior Falcons team in the finale. “Tonight was tough for

my senior night, but I also have to remember that we have games after this so I have to focus on that and just have to move past it.” Brown, a starter who finished with four points and four rebounds in 29 minutes, was joined by reserve post player Krysten Boogaard (zero points and one rebound in three minutes) in playing their final games at Allen Fieldhouse. After the game, both were honored by the home crowd with a jersey presentation on the floor, but ceremony did little to erase the disappointment of Saturday’s loss. “There were some mistakes that we made throughout the game,” said sophomore forward Carolyn Davis, who led the Jayhawks with 15 points and 14 rebounds. “We should not have turned the ball over as much and should have gotten our hands on more 50/50 balls. I think that we did not execute very well.” Kansas came out on fire and jumped to early leads of 4-0 and 15-11 before falling behind by two, 26-24, at halftime. The Jayhawks were impressive to start the second half, ripping off a 10-4 run to take a 34-30 lead at the 15:08 mark. From there, Kansas State (20-9, 10-6) responded with a run of its own that put the Jayhawks in position to play from behind the rest of the way. Despite trailing by as many as eight points with less than two minutes to play, the Jayhawks willed their way into having a shot to tie the game with 39.7 seconds remaining. After a bucket by Aishah Sutherland at the 1:08 mark made it 54-51, K-State, the Jayhawks’ defense stepped up and forced the Wildcats into a shot-clock violation. With time winding down on the shot clock and the game clock creeping down toward 1:00, K-State sophomore Mariah White drove to the basket and pulled up in the lane for a shot. The ball rolled around the rim and eventually fell, but officials waved it off, claiming that the shot came a fraction of a second too late. The defensive stand gave Kansas a chance. But just a few seconds into its next possession, a pass from point guard Angel Goodrich caromed off of Brown’s hands and landed on the Kansas bench. Turnover No. 13 for the Jayhawks. Possession to the Wildcats. Game over. “I really don’t remember

They were just extremely aggressive. We just didn’t have an answer for that tonight.” — Free State coach Bryan Duncan me,” said Rothwell, who missed nearly the entire season due to a torn anteriorcruciate ligament, “for it to be the last time I put on this jersey.” But because Rothwell is the only player graduating from this year’s team, there was plenty of optimism on the Firebirds’ side. “We have an opportunity to be an extremely good basketball team next year, and we know that,” Duncan said.

what happened,” Brown said of the crucial play. “I guess they may have tipped it, and it kind of slipped out of my hands as well. I wasn’t expecting it because that’s not where the ball was supposed to come anyway. It was just one of those things.” Instead of looking for a game-tying three-pointer at that point — Kansas was just 2-of-9 from three-point range for the game — Henrickson said the plan was to get the quick two-pointer and extend the game. “We didn’t want to eat a lot of clock doing that because you need possessions, and you need some time,” Henrickson said. “But we just were not aggressive. We got real soft, and we got real hesitant.” Added freshman Diara Moore: “I think it was a focus thing. We weren’t really dialed in as much as we need to be.” The loss did nothing to change KU’s seeding in next week’s Big 12 tournament in Kansas City, Mo. The Jayhawks will be the No. 8 seed and will play No. 9 Colorado at 11 a.m. Tuesday. Saturday’s result did reinforce one thing for the Jayhawks, should they have any hopes of earning a spot in this year’s NCAA Tournament. “Well, we gotta win it,” said Henrickson of qualifying for the NCAAs via the automatic bid given to conference tournament champions. “Obviously, we’re NIT-eligible, and that speaks for itself, but we gotta win it to go to the NCAA Tournament.”

ASU edges KU baseball BOX SCORE

J-W Staff Reports

SURPRISE , A RIZ . — Arizona State third baseman Riccio Torres’ sacrifice fly in the bottom of the seventh broke a 3all tie and lifted the seventhranked Sun Devils to a 4-3 victory over Kansas University on Saturday evening at Surprise Stadium in the Coca Cola Classic. Kansas dropped its third game of the tournament, falling to 4-6 overall, while ASU improved to 8-2. ASU took advantage of an errant pickoff attempt to secure the victory. After a one-out walk to second baseman Zack McPhee, KU relief pitcher Nolan Mansf ield tried to pick him off first. However, the senior’s throw sailed wide of first base and ricocheted off the wall and into right field to put McPhee on third base. Torres took advantage of the error by lifting a high fly to center field, which scored McPhee easily from third base. It marked the Jayhawks’ third loss of the season by one run. Trailing 2-0 in the top of the fourth, KU grabbed the lead

Pullen finishes in style, K-State cruises past ISU By Doug Tucker Associated Press Sports Writer

MANHATTAN — With a few seconds to go in his last game in Bramlage Coliseum, Kansas State’s Jacob Pullen knelt down and kissed the floor. The sellout crowd, already at an emotional pitch at the end of a hard-fought 67-55 victory over Iowa State on Saturday, stood and roared. “It was just spur of the moment,” said the bearded senior guard, one of two players in Kansas State history to score 2,000 points. With a few seconds left in P ullen’s last home game, coach Frank Martin pulled his star senior, who stopped on the “Power Cat” team logo and planted a kiss on the floor where he has starred for four straight 20-win seasons. “This was the last time I was going to play on that Power Cat. The last time there were going to be three referees, a crowd full of 15,000 people ... Frank ... it was the last time I was going to be able to step on that Power Cat and shoot a three, get a rebound, get an assist,” he said. “It was an emotional game for me.” Pullen was given a standing ovation when he and senior Curtis Kelly were introduced before the game, and again afterward when Martin pre-

sented him with a special game ball. “I understood it was going to be an emotional game,” said Pullen, who ranks in the top five in 17 school statistical categories. “But the closer the game got, you get to thinking about how fast it went by. A lot of my family was here. It was just an emotional game. But at the same time, you’ve got to realize you’ve got a job to do and that you’ve got to win the game.” Pullen recovered from a slow start and scored 17 points as the Wildcats (22-9, 10-6 Big 12) ended the regular season on a six-game winning streak. After starting the Big 12 season 1-4 and changing their offense, the Wildcats have won eight of nine. Their defense has also picked up,

points, and the Lady Raiders earned their third victory over a Top-25 team in a month with a victory over Oklahoma.

Missouri 49, No. 23 Iowa State 48 COLUMBIA , MO. — RaeShara Brown scored 14 points to reach 1,000 for her career, and Missouri held on to beat Iowa State on Saturday.

and they’ll go into the Big 12 tournament next week the hottest team in the league. “When we were losing games early in the year, I told you guys that we were defending pretty well but we just had to clean it up a little bit,” Martin said. “Our guys continued to understand concepts better, and that takes time.” Diante Garrett, breaking the Iowa State record with his 127th game played, led the last-place Cyclones (16-15, 313) with 18 points and had five assists. “I think we picked our defense up and we shaded Jacob Pullen, one of their best guys, really well,” Garrett said. “I just tried to slow him down and rebound.” The victory secured the No. 4 seed in the Big 12 tournament, meaning the Wildcats will get one of four first-round byes. Will Spradling and Kelly each had 13 points. The Wildcats, who struggled from the foul line during their ragged stretch earlier in the season, hit 16 of 22. Jake Anderson had nine points for Iowa State, which has lost 10 of its last 11 meetings with Kansas State. “I thought Dante played terrific,” Iowa Sate coach Fred Hoiberg said. “He did a very good job of getting into the paint and hitting shots. Our defense kept us in the game.”

Royals hurler Mazzaro We planted struggles in 10-9 loss the seed.

SURPRISE , A RIZ . (AP) — Vin Mazzaro realizes a good early impression is important in camp for the Kansas City Royals. Acquired in an offseason trade, Mazzaro struggled Saturday in the Royals’ 10-9 loss to the Colorado Rockies. He gave up four runs and five hits in 11⁄3 innings. Mazzaro is trying to fill a vacancy in the Royals’ rotation. He retired the f irst two batters before yielding three runs on four hits, Mazzaro giving up consecutive doubles to Carlos Gonzalez and Jason Giambi. “The first two batters went pretty quick then I just found too much of the zone with my fastball,” Mazzaro said. “I could have made better pitch selection. Overall, I was happy with the offspeed pitches that I was throwing. The slider, curveball and changeup were really good. My fastball command was a little shaky.” Gonzalez went 3-for-3, scored twice and drove in a run. He was the NL batting champion last year at .336. Giambi doubled twice and

and hit two batters in three innings. “I felt great,” Rogers said. “If you have confidence in yourself, you’re going to be great in the games. Sometimes you have to make your pitches. That’s what happened today. I moved my back a little, and that’s why I hit a couple hitters and threw a couple walks. Sometimes I want to do more than I can.”

had two RBIs. Kila Ka’aihue homered for the Royals. The Royals acquired Mazzaro in a Nov. 10 trade for outfielder David DeJesus. The Kansas City newcomer threw 50 pitches, 31 for strikes. “With 50 pitches, I should have been in at least the fourth or fifth inning,” he said. “I ROYALS my work VS.

Coming to a new ball team, new eyes on you, you want to impress guys.” Will Smith, a 21-year-old left-hander who has never pitched in the majors, retired all six batters he faced after Mazzaro left. Smith has been flawless in his f irst two appearances. “It’s hard to beat nine up, nine down,” Smith said. “If it stays like this, I’ll be happy.” Esmil Rogers, who is competing for a Rockies’ rotation job, allowed four runs. He gave up four hits, walked two

Notes: Royals C Jason Kendall caught bullpen sessions for the first time since major shoulder surgery in September. He also has begun to take batting practice swings and is throwing up to 90 feet. “I went out to see him take batting practice and all I needed to see was five swings,” K.C. manager Ned Yost said. “He was hitting line drives all over the park. He’s progressing, way, way ahead of schedule.” ... Rockies manager Jim Tracy was not with the team. He attended the funeral of his friend Jenny Colborn, wife of Jim Colborn, who was a pitching coach under Tracy when he managed the Dodgers. Tracy is scheduled to rejoin the Rockies today. Bench coach Tom Runnells ran the team in Tracy’s absence.

C O L U M B I A , M O . — With 1:05 remaining, Kansas University guard Tyrel Reed made what KU coach Bill Self called the biggest shot of the Jayhawks’ 70-66 victory over Missouri: a three-pointer from the left corner to give KU a sevenpoint lead. According to Missouri forward Laurence Bowers, there was more going on than simply a player making a shot. “Coach Self,” Bowers said, “drew up a great play.” Here’s what happened: With KU leading 63-59 and 1:16 remaining, Self called timeout with 19 seconds left on the shot clock. Following the break, KU ran the weave at the top of the perimeter — one of the standard plays that Kansas runs nearly every game. With 12 seconds left on the shot clock, Reed handed the ball off to teammate Brady Morningstar, who took a dribble before tossing to Tyshawn Taylor. Bowers said MU’s players had seen the play before and knew what came next. Following the second pass in the weave, Reed was to execute a backdoor cut toward the rim. Once Taylor received the pass from Morningstar and Reed began to cut from the left wing, MU guard Kim English anticipated this, taking a half-step toward the basket to protect the rim. Reed didn’t sprint toward the middle, though, as Self threw in a wrinkle during the timeout. Instead of a backdoor cut, Self had Reed run off a fade screen by Marcus Morris. With the fade screen, Marcus screened English just outside the lane, while

Senior guard called his shot By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

COLUMBIA, MO. — In need of a big basket in Saturday’s game against Missouri, Kansas University’s basketball team turned to its senior go-to guy ... Tyrel Reed. Who else? “We had nothing going on, no juice with a minute left, and Tyrel makes the biggest shot of the game,” KU coach Bill Self said after the Jayhawks’ 70-66 victory over the Tigers in Mizzou Arena. “I said, ‘Let’s run ‘C’ and get Tyrel a shot in the corner, and he said, ‘I’ll make it,’’’ Self added, relating how Reed, ala Babe Ruth on his home run to center field, actually called the shot. The Jayhawks, who had seen a 15-point lead (6348, with 4:11 left) dip to four points (63-59, 1:32), were bailed out by the Reed three at 1:05. That three came out of a timeout. “We were in the huddle. It’s not really a play. It’s one of our sets,” Reed said. “I don’t know who it was (who) set a good Reed circled around the three-point line before fading to the corner to receive a lob pass from Taylor. “It kind of took us by surprise,” Bowers said. English, who was overplaying the inside expecting a backdoor cut, ran into Morris’ left shoulder on the screen and was unable to get to the corner. He also ran into Bowers — Morris’ defender — who wasn’t able to get out to Reed. The result was a wide-

fade screen for me in the corner. I told coach I was going to knock it down. He said, ‘Make the shot.’ “I did and am happy about that,” added Reed, who finished with 11 points in 37 minutes. A fired-up Reed stared in the direction of, and may have yelled something at, MU’s raucous student section, the “Antlers,” after hitting the critical three. After the game, KU’s Marcus Morris waved to the Antlers before hopping in the hand-shake line with MU’s players. “It means a lot. Every year it’s our goal to win the Big 12 championship. It looked like we weren’t going to a few weeks ago,” Reed said. The Jayhawks were two back of Texas with three weeks left in the season. “We were fortunate, caught some breaks and won it. I’m happy the way we competed today. I thought we played dumb (24 turnovers), turned it over a lot, but defended all right and found a way to win,” Reed said. open shot for the KU senior, as neither English nor Bowers was even close enough to get a hand up to contest the three-pointer. “You’ve got to give him credit,” Bowers said of Reed, “because he hit a big shot.” MU coach Mike Anderson sensed that KU’s players became more physical in the second half. “The war was won in the paint,” he said. “I thought in the second half, they really KANSAS GUARD TYSHAWN TAYLOR (10) JUMPS AS HE DEFENDS A DRIV took it to us there.” and snap the Tigers’ 17-game homecourt winning streak.

Kansas CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

Saturday’s locker-room frivolity in Columbia. “It’s very satisfying, (but) we are kind of used to it. Six in a row before this, now seven in a row ... not to sound arrogant, but we have a bigger goal now. Now there are two other championships to win. We’ll try to focus on that,” added Morris, who scored 21 points and grabbed 10 rebounds on a day KU outrebounded the No. 22ranked Tigers, 49-29. KU will open its quest for a Big 12 postseason tournament title against Oklahoma State or Nebraska at 11:30 a.m. Thursday in Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo. After that, it’s on to the NCAA Tournament, where KU is in line for a No. 1 seed and possible firstand second-round games in close-to-home Tulsa, Okla. Saturday, it was time not to look too far ahead, but celebrate the crown the Jayhawks worked hard to claim all winter long. “It was fun, real fun, seven in a row, whatever you expected or could imagine, that’s what happened in the locker room. We couldn’t wait to get in there, couldn’t wait,” sophomore guard Elijah Johnson said after scoring four points with three rebounds and two assists in 26 minutes against MU (22-9, 8-8). He also played sticky defense against MU’s backcourt players, who hit just three of 23 threes to KU’s two of seven. “I would tell you what he was doing in there,” Johnson joked of passer-by Mario Little, “but I don’t think that’s for the public to know.” It’s safe to say there probably was some whooping, hollering and hugging in the victorious locker room. There also may have been some sighs of relief. KU led by as many as 15 points (6348) with 4:11 left and four

KANSAS FORWARD THOMAS ROBINSON (0) finishes a put-back dunk over Missouri forward Laurence Bowers. (63-59) at 1:32 before Tyrel Reed steadied the ship with a three at 1:05 — one that halted MU’s hopes of stealing a shocking victory. “We think of it as, a lot of teams can’t win one (title), so to get to two all the way to seven, that’s a big deal, especially when you have some legendary coaches telling you that’s a big deal,” Johnson said. “It speaks for itself,” Johnson added, asked what seven-straight titles says about the program. “It’s Kansas. We do some impossible stuff here.” Like continue to battle through adversity. Several Jayhawks said

they had heavy hearts leading up to the big game. Assistant coach Danny Manning’s dad, Ed, died Friday. “I texted him last night and had some time with him,” Marcus Morris said of Danny Manning, who remained with the team for Saturday’s game. “I told him I never had a father figure in my life, and he is that to me. I just tell him my prayers are with him, and I love him.” Sophomore forward Thomas Robinson, who also is quite close to KU’s big-man coach, responded with 15 points and 13 boards in just 17 minutes.

“Danny had a lot to do with this,” Robinson said. “He is going through something with the death of his father. I especially know how he feels with that.” Robinson’s mother, grandmother and grandfather all died in a span of three weeks earlier this season. “We all talked to Danny and said we’re here for him. He’s handled it great,” said Robinson, who had 13 points and eight rebounds the second half as Markieff Morris (10 points, eight boards) battled foul problems. “I feel I handled mine as well, but he is doing his way better than I did.”

KU coach Bill Self — “I’m really proud of our guys because three weeks ago we had no chance,” he said of the title — indicated he felt the players’ concern for Manning. “Danny is a unique guy. He didn’t want anybody to know. I didn’t tell our team. Our players saw it on the ESPN scroll (Friday) across the bottom and came to me and said, ‘Is that true?’’’ Self said of former KU assistant coach Ed Manning’s passing. “I said, ‘Yes, but he doesn’t want to make a big deal out of it right now.’ That’s how he is personality-wise. So the guys talked to him. There was no announcement: ‘This is what’s going on.’ Nothing like that. He said he didn’t want that. “I told him, ‘You need to go home.’ He said, ‘No, I need to be here.’ He said, ‘Let’s do business as usual.’ “Ed Manning is a heck of a guy. Everybody knows that. Danny is hurting right now, but he didn’t want anybody to know that. I think the whole team loves him,” Self went on, asked about the big men’s feelings toward Manning. “I think they rallied around him, but it wasn’t a point where it was, ‘Hey, let’s do this for anybody.’ He would never allow us to do that.” Robinson noted many things motivated him Saturday. “We had a lot on the table with this game,” Robinson said. “Possibly be No. 1 seed in both tournaments, win the championship outright especially when people have us picked to win it every year, also coming here and breaking the winning streak for Missouri.” MU’s streak was eighthlongest in the country. “I don’t think we celebrate yet,” Robinson said. “It was a good win. We accomplished a goal we set, but there’s a bigger fish we want to catch. “Maybe celebrate a little bit. Not fully yet. Ask me about that tomorrow morning, and I can tell you (about) that.”

GARY BEDORE’S KANSAS BASKETBALL NOTEBOOK Elijah says … Elijah Johnson on KU’s 24 turnovers: “We need to take care of the ball because every team is not Missouri,” Johnson said of the Tigers, who generally force a lot of miscues. Selby struggles KU coach Bill Self on freshman guard Josh Selby, who had three turnovers against one assist in seven minutes the first half. He didn’t play the second half. “I didn’t give him a chance in the second half, which in hindsight, I don’t know ... but I thought Tyshawn (Taylor) and Elijah played really well. He (Selby) didn’t play well the first half, turned it over a few times. He’s better than that. Like we said after the game, ‘You’ve got to let that go. It’s next game.’ He’s been practicing better and all that stuff. He hasn’t quite found it yet. Hopefully that’s going to happen real soon.” The fund Thomas Robinson acknowledged that his sister Jayla’s scholarship fund is doing well. How well? “I don’t know. I don’t think I’m supposed to know,” he said of the exact figures being compiled by a Washington, D.C., law firm.

one of Johnson’s teammates with a high-percentage shot. And he’s done it by knowing his defensive assignment calls for stopping the ball and preventing the opposition from getting good shots. Johnson’s hurling problems proved short-lived, and he returned to the court to help KU end Mizzou’s 17game home-court winning streak with a 70-66 victory. “Just had a little phlegm in my throat, and I just got to gagging and couldn’t stop, that’s all,” Johnson explained. The Missouri pressure defense played a role in KU’s 24 turnovers, eating at the players’ concentration to the extent they made several unforced errors. But it certainly wasn’t the cause of Johnson’s gagging. He did all of that off the court, leaning over a garbage can. Johnson had a calming influence. He played 26 minutes and didn’t turn it over once. Early returns on the impact of Taylor’s two-game suspension: It made both Johnson and Taylor better. Taylor has been back two games and has played well in both. He had just one turnover, had three assists and played strong defense before fouling out after 17 KANSAS FORWARD MARCUS MORRIS (22) watches as minutes of action. Missouri forward Laurence Bowers puts up a shot after a The way Johnson has played foul from Morris during the first half. in his four starts, Taylor no longer gets minutes by default. He has to earn them. Selby’s regression makes it imperative Taylor and Johnson both produce consistently. Exhibition at Michigan, W 67-60, OT (15-0) Washburn, W 92-62 at Iowa State, W 84-79 (16-0, 1-0) “It was fun,” Johnson said of Emporia State, W 90-59 Nebraska, W 63-60 (17-0, 2-0) facing the Tigers’ pressure.

KANSAS FORWARD MARKIEFF MORRIS (21) and a game official watch as Josh Selby loses the ball out of bounds for a turnover against Missouri during the first half. guage, of the spoken or body variety. Players at all levels who believe they should be playing would do well to follow Johnson’s advice on how to stay tuned in so that when the opportunity arrives they can capitalize on it. “Honestly, just follow your heart,” he said. “Your mind is going to mess with you sometimes. You’ve got to be smart. You’ve got to think, but you’ve got to follow your heart. You just have to be confident. You can’t give in. You can’t give in. You can’t. You do, you might as well quit. You quit one time, you’ll start quitting everything.” The Tigers should have quit chucking threes, but their other options weren’t as attractive as KU’s. Kansas made just two of seven three-pointers, Missouri three of 23. The biggest difference in the teams: The Tigers need to hit from long range to win. Teams that go 29-2 in the regular season and 14-2 in the Big 12 don’t do so without consistency. Teams that score most of their points from the inside aren’t as prone to scoring droughts. “Definitely that plays a big part in it,” Johnson said. “We don’t have to hit threes. We can go inside. We actually should go inside first every time.” Johnson’s first bucket came from inside, more precisely from above the rim. Not many team run set plays that result in the power forward tossing a lob for a point guard to throw down the slam, but that’s what Kansas coach Bill Self called for the bucket

Johnson threw down on a lob pass from Marcus Morris to make the score 5-0. “I enjoy it every time,” Johnson said of getting that play call from the bench. It’s a nice reward for him spending most of his time feeding the most efficient scorers, Marcus and Markieff Morris. Johnson’s head definitely is in the right place, and he has embraced the leadership duties required of a point guard. For example, when Robinson began dominating in the second half with repeated put-backs, he became a tad too celebratory. “I had to calm him down at one point,” Johnson said of Robinson. “We kind of got into it on the floor, then I had to calm him down. He was telling me, ‘Let me play. Let me play.’ I said, ‘Yeah, but you can’t overstep the boundaries because when you do that, you step on the referees’ toes, and they come back to the whole disrespect thing on the floor.’” Johnson said at other times he tries to ignite more emotional play from teammates. How? “I kind of rile people up saying things they aren’t used to hearing to get them to play,” Johnson said. The big men, particularly Marcus Morris and Robinson, won this one. Yet another late clutch three-point shot from Tyrel Reed didn’t hurt. And Johnson and Taylor helped to win it by not losing it. That’s all this team needs from its point guards.

TV talk KCTV5 in Kansas City, as well as some other stations around the country, cut away from the final few minutes of the KU-MU game in favor of the Michigan-Michigan State game. In a statement on its Twitter feed, KCTV5 apologized to viewers and said that CBS told the station the problem related to sun spots causing problems with the satellite feed from the national network. Station general manger Bobby Totsch said that such a problem “won't happen again.” CBS Sports official Jerry Caraccioli spoke to the Big 12 official website about the matter: “It was a combination of sun spots and satellite transponder issues,” he said. “The Kansas-Missouri telecast was interrupted, and we had to switch viewers in some of those markets to the other telecast. Some markets had their satellite feeds restored before the end of the game. It was an unfortunate and rare occurrence." KCTV5 was to re-air the second half of the game after its 10 p.m. Saturday newscast. Intentional? Marcus Morris was called for a questionable intentional foul with 2:40 left, KU up, 63-54. Marcus Denmon had stolen the ball from Morris near halfcourt, and officials felt Morris deliberately tried to prevent a breakaway layup. “It goes from 15 (-point lead) to four. I thought there were a couple plays I didn’t see it the same way as maybe the officials saw it,” Self said. “That’s neither here nor there. You’ve got to play through that. I didn’t think we did a very good job playing through it.” Official visit Braeden Anderson, a 6-8 senior forward from Wilbraham and Monson Academy in Wilbraham, Mass., will begin an official recruiting visit to KU today. He has also visited Kentucky unofficially and plans on making an official visit to Lexington. He may also visit Arizona and Oklahoma before making a decision.

Couples need breathing room in a relationship Dear Annie: I’ve been dating “Trish” for almost two years. She’s a few years younger than I am. I always saw myself as being single forever, but now I’ve learned the real meaning of love. I don’t want to be apart from her. Trish recently began a new job and quickly became good friends with some of her male co-workers. These guys have rather unsavory reputations when it comes to women. Trish, however, has grown quite fond of the friendships. I can accept that. However, when I asked her to introduce me to these guys so I could get to know them, she reacted by saying I should trust her. I do trust her. I don’t trust them. This started a few little arguments that resulted in her wanting to take a “break” from our relationship. What exactly does that mean? Are we still together in theory? What’s the usual duration of a break — a few days, weeks, months? — Lost Love Dear Lost: Wasn’t this an episode of “Friends”? A break means you are taking a breather from each other. It could be temporary or permanent, depending on what happens in the interim. In many instances, the purpose of a “break” is for one or both parties to be able to date others. Trish is feeling a little suffocated and wants to spread her

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

Dear Annie: I am a 24-yearold woman who has never had a date, never been kissed and never had a man show any interest in me. I work from home so I don’t meet anyone that way. All of my friends are engaged, married or in a relationship. Online dating sites try to match me up with men I don’t have anything in common with or find attractive. I know I should embrace the fact that I am single and don’t have anyone to answer to. But it is getting lonelier every year, and I have yet to find someone to share my life

Conning the con: Marshals use prisoners to catch fugitive Recycling parts from vintage stories like “To Catch a Thief” and “The Dirty Dozen,” the new series “The Breakout Kings” (9 p.m., A&E) may not be original, but it features some standout (if not breakout) talent. In the rather brisk and efficient pilot, veteran U.S. Marshals Charlie Duchamp (Laz Alonso) and Ray Zancanelli (Domenick Lombardozzi) decide to break the rules (of prisons, not cop dramas) by enlisting incarcerated cons to help capture a dangerous fugitive who has broken out of prison and has gone on a killing spree. They include Shea (Malcolm Goodwin), a fast talking prison entrepreneur; Erica Reed (Serinda Swan), a beauty queen-turned con woman, and Lloyd Lowery (Jimmi Simpson), a former college professor and psychological game-player who failed to outrun his gambling addiction. It’s a tad premature to announce a star after only one episode, but Simpson’s Lowery is clearly the character to watch. Simpson combines a wounded vulnerability with a haunting, manipulative nature. He also hints at racist attitudes. Or at least pretends to do so to keep others on guard. He’s the most interesting, smartest and most three-dimensional creep since Michael Emerson’s Ben Linus on “Lost.” He makes “The Breakout Kings” well worth watching. ● It’s interesting to note that while A&E introduces a new drama, NBC trots out predictable filler, including “America’s Next Great Restaurant” (7 p.m., NBC) and the 11th season of “Celebrity Apprentice” (9 p.m., NBC), a franchise that was exhausted after two. ● Animal Planet has hired an unusual character to introduce viewers to the unique world of urban pigeon racing. “Taking on Tyson” (9 p.m., Animal Planet) allows the dangerous and at times disturbed former boxing champion Mike Tyson to go back to his old neighborhood, where he first fell in love with coop culture. Later he returns to competitive pigeon racing and takes on some of the biggest names in the sport. Pigeons, palookas and pathos: At least nobody’s making “On the Waterfront, Part II.” ● For years now, “Army Wives” (8 p.m., Lifetime) has been one of the only shows in prime time to acknowledge that for a decade, some Americans have been fighting in two foreign wars. Now, the network presents “Coming Home” (10 p.m., Lifetime), a reality series featuring reunions of returning service men and women with their spouses, children, families and loved ones.

Tonight’s other highlights ● Scheduled on “60 Minutes” (6 p.m., CBS): Schools cope with homeless students; columnist Christopher Hitchens; nature photographers and spy-camera technology. ● A philanthropist lives among Detroit’s poor to determine those worthy of his largess on “Secret Millionaire” (7 p.m., ABC), a reality series that has migrated to ABC from Fox. ● “Real Housewives of Orange County” (10 p.m., Bravo) returns for a sixth season.

Zoey Hearn has designs on being a film director. Tonight, the Lawrence High senior will get her first public screening. And the venue is more than fitting. Hearn’s short film, “At the Table,” will be shown as part of LunaFest, a national short film woman-centric festival, which makes its way to Lawrence’s Liberty Hall, 644 Mass., for a night celebrating women. “I think it’s interesting to do a film festival from a woman’s perspective,” Hearn says. “I think it’s cool because I would like to see more women get involved in film, and I want it not to be a man’s industry. “Hopefully, I’ll make that happen someday.” The festival is being sponsored this year by the GaDuGi SafeCenter, 2518 Ridge Court, which, along with the Breast Cancer Fund will be receiving any proceeds from the event. LunaFest has raised more than $360,000 for Breast Cancer Fund and more than $570,000 for other women’s nonprofit organizations since it started 10 years ago. Christie Dobson, arts outreach coordinator for GaDuGi SafeCenter, says the festival is a good fit for both the organization’s role in supporting women and its particular interest in film. The group has been involved with previous incarnations of the festival, run by One Hundred Good

Among the thrift store shelves at the Social Service League, 904 R.I., Jim Russo recently spotted several former presidents of the United States. They were in a collection of 50-year-old color transparency slides. “They were all in boxes, some with labels, and one said U.S. Presidents,” said Russo, of Lawrence. What he thought would be commercial reproductions turned out to be originals. “Lo and behold, the photos of presidents someone took up close, maybe a newsman,” Russo said. “We have (Dwight D.) Eisenhower’s library dedication with Ike and Mamie. We have several of (Harry S.) Truman, one of the best is of him and Jack Benny.” Also in the collection is one of Sen. John F. Kennedy at a 1961 press conference in Independence, Mo., soon after being nominated Democratic candidate for president. They are wonderful historic photos considering the subject matter and the proximity of the photographer to the subjects. Although they were mixed in with family vacation shots, Russo figured it to be the work of a professional photographer and contacted me to see if I could help identify him. After looking at the collec-

First, the photographer was an acquaintance of Truman or Eisenhower or was a prominent citizen in the Kansas City area, invited to participate in these regional events that occurred between 1958 and 1962. One reason for thinking this is that the photographer used Kodachrome film, which required a week or more for processing and wouldn’t be used by a news photographer on deadline. He could have been a magazine photographer assigned to shoot color, but it’s interesting to

“By day, I normally work as a production designer for films,” Boland says. “I’m hoping to do more of my own directing and I think what’s interesting to me is just having very strong characters. I do like seeing strong women characters, but it’s not necessarily a point of interest in every project that I do.” Dobson is hopeful this

Was there a St. Louis woman who could resist Ernest Hemingway?

But he was years away from publishing his first novel, “The Sun Also Rises,” which would be dedicated to the red-haired St. Louis woman he wrote letters to several times a week. Less than a year after they met, Ernest and Hadley left the dreary Midwest for Europe, where they would Elaine McCullough, meet James Joyce, Ezra early childhood special Pound, Scott Fitzgerald and education consultant, many others. Lawrence “Of all his wives, Hadley “I’m currently reading a set of was the one who turned out Winston Churchill speeches. for the better having known I’m also reading ‘Gilead’ by him,” says Paula McLain, Marilynne Robinson.” author of the novel “The Paris Wife.” She says it’s almost a “literary biography,” a fictional take on a relationship also documented in letters and books. Although the marriage of Ernest and Hadley would last only from 1921-27, photos of the young couple picture them clearly in love.

Ernest Hemingway Photograph Collection/John F. Kennedy Presidential Library

AMERICAN AUTHOR ERNEST HEMINGWAY, shown with then-wife Elizabeth Hadley Richardson and son John Hadley Nicanor “Jack” Hemingway (aka “Bumby”) in Schruns, Austria, in 1926, is the subject of Paula McLain’s novel “The Paris Wife.” ing only one year at Bryn Mawr. In the novel, Hadley describes her family: “Ours was the quintessentially good family, with Pilgrim lineage on both sides and lots of Victorian manners keeping everything safe and reliable. My father’s father founded the St. Louis Public Library and the Richardson Drug Company, which became the largest pharmaceutical house west of the Mississippi. ... We learned to play piano on a Steinway Grand and spent summers in Ipswich, Mass., at our beach cottage. And everything was very good and fine until it wasn’t.” Her mother became protective after Hadley, 6, fell out of an upstairs window. Later, her father would lose money in the stock market and kill himself. A sister, Dorothea, died from burns. When her mother dies, Richardson is 28 and has little to hold her in St. Louis. She also has an inherited income with which to support herself. Although some critics hint that Hemingway was attracted to her money, McLain doesn’t agree. With Ernest, she says, Hadley has a “wonderful awakening.” Peggy Shepley, 76, a greatniece of Hadley Richardson, says the couple “were in love, no question.” A St. Louis real estate agent, Shepley says Hadley was a sweet person who cared for her father as a youth after his mother (Dorothea) died.

After moving to Paris, the young Hemingways rented cheap apartments — one was above a sawmill — and bought few luxuries. What money they had seemed to be spent on travel. The “Paris wife” witnessed bullfighting in Spain, hiked the Great St. Bernard Pass, skied in Austria and sunbathed on the Riviera. When Hemingway traveled without her, she waited eagerly for him to return, and she famously lost a bag filled with his early writings while taking a train to meet him. Gertrude Stein urged them to spend money, like she did, on artists such as Picasso. Hemingway gave Hadley “The Farm” by Joan Miro for a birthday present (it now belongs to the National Gallery of Art). Hemingway fans know that another well-off woman from St. Louis eventually would betray Hadley — and become Ernest’s next wife. Pauline Pfeiffer was the first of three journalists he’d marry, women perhaps more intellectually stimulating, or conniving, than his devoted, piano-playing Hadley. McLain has no love lost for Pfeiffer, another lovely woman. The Vogue editor comes on the scene in a striking, chipmunk-fur coat. “I think he was manipulated by Pauline,” McLain says. “I couldn’t sympathize with Pauline because, in a way, she broke up my marriage.” Among Hemingway fans, gossip about the wives is strong enough that the Pfeiffer farmhouse museum in

FICTION

Arkansas defends Pauline on its website: “While Hemingway biographers, and even Hemingway himself, often cast Pauline as the aggressor in the breakup of their marriage, there is ample evidence that just the opposite was true. Rather than Hemingway being a great catch when they met, he was a struggling, notyet-famous writer — and a married man and the father of a son. Pauline was a well-educated, devout Catholic with a great job, a huge trust fund, and countless, more suitable, admirers.” McLain researched the Hemingway papers at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library in Boston (where she happened to meet Zelda Fitzgerald’s biographer, Nancy Milford). But only McLain’s imagination could create the bedroom scene with Pfeiffer that seems to convince Hadley that she can’t stay married. Hadley’s next marriage lasted almost 40 years, indicating that her divorce from Hemingway may have been even better luck than the marriage. Her second husband, Paul Mowrer, was a respected journalist and poet, but their life remained out of the spotlight as Hemingway entered it. Still, McLain says, Hadley was never bitter about her former husband, who gave her all royalties to “The Sun Also Rises.” And, the author says, “the trauma of his later life reflects back and makes his early life all the more rare and lovely.”

Book recounts 1981 abduction and slaying ‘that changed America’ By Bruce DeSilva Associated Press Writer

“Bringing Adam Home: The Abduction That Changed America” (HarperCollins, $24.99), by Les Standiford with detective Sgt. Joe Matthews: This is the definitive story of the 1981 kidnapping, rape and murder of 6-year-old Adam Walsh, and of the botched police investigation that took 27 years to unmask his killer. It was perhaps the most important kidnapping in American history because — largely through the efforts

of Adam’s parents, John and Reve Walsh — it revolutionized the way in which authorities investigate cases involving missing and murdered children. Because it is such a famous case, you might think you already know the story; the authors quickly demonstrate that you would be mistaken. Standiford, the author of 15 nonfiction books and novels, tells the story with help from Matthews, the detective who finally solved the case while working for John Walsh’s TV show, “America’s Most Wanted.” The book has been likened to Truman Capote’s classic “In Cold Blood,”

but the comparison is not apt. Unlike Capote, Standiford does not bend facts for the sake of art, and his writing is not self-consciously literary. He spills out the narrative in a precise, matter-of-fact style — a wise choice for a story laced with so much heartbreak, gore and perversion. A more apt comparison: “Bringing Adam Home” is one of the finest truecrime books since Thomas Thompson’s “Blood and Money” (1976). The authors meticulously recount Adam’s kidnapping from a Sears store in Hollywood, Fla.; the fruitless search for the missing boy;

and the subsequent discovery of his severed head bobbing in a canal a few miles away. And they briefly sketch the tireless work by the boy’s bereaved parents on behalf of other missing and murdered children. But the heart of the book is an investigation of the investigators — an expose of unforgivable bungling by the Hollywood, Fla., police department, followed by decades of behavior that is hard to explain away as anything other than a conspiracy to cover up its incompetence. Standiford and Matthews painstakingly build their case

against the police, detailing a dozen leads that were not followed up, obvious questions that were not asked, witnesses who were ignored, reports that were incomplete (and in some cases falsified), evidence that was not examined and vital physical evidence that was lost. Most damning of all, Hollywood police discounted repeated confessions by a serial killer who knew details of the crime that had never been made public. The authors name names and pull no punches. This remarkable story will bring readers to tears of grief — and rage.

For the past four years, Fat Tuesday has been recognized in Lawrence with a Mardi Gras parade celebration. The parade was organized after Mike West and Katie Euliss’ family relocated to Lawrence following Hurricane Katrina. “Our kids were desperate for (Mardi Gras) since we had moved here,” Euliss says. “Not having Mardi Gras was not acceptable.” In the beginning, Euliss and West of the band Truckstop Honeymoon gathered with a few other musicians for a small march down Massachusetts Street. “(We had) a spiritual need for Mardi Gras. We got lucky, and so many great musicians came out of the woodwork, excited to join in,” Euliss says. “I think people really need this kind of

release after longer winter months. Celebrating is good for the body and soul.” This year the parade and celebration includes Brass Mob Brass Band, formed specifically for the parade. “Lots of well-known local musicians make up the band, as well as lots of other folks who just love to play,” Euliss says. The f irst parade drew roughly 100 participants, and last year around 300 people took part. Brass Mob Brass Band’s performance isn’t exclusive, however. Those interested in joining in the fun are welcome. “Anyone can come join in with a kazoo, shaker, tambourine, or some other instrument they can march with,” Euliss says.

The parade will start at Aimee’s Coffee House, 1025 Mass., at noon Tuesday, which is Fat Tuesday, and end at Free State, 636 Mass., for a celebration lunch, where the restaurant will feature New Orleans-style lunch specials. As to the attire suggested for participants, don your best flair. “Anything goes,” Euliss says. “Feathers, masks, tutus, decorated umbrellas, poodle skirts, wigs, wizard hats — gorilla suits are great, too!”

“

It took us eight years since this building was vacated to get the first half done, I don’t want to be sitting here in 2019 and still be talking about the back part (of the building).” — Tony Brown, board member for the Lumberyard Arts Center talking about the back part (of the building). So, as I mentioned, the motivation here is to get the building done.” Melinda Hipple, a drawing and painting teacher at the center, says eventually, when the building is complete, the next challenge will be to draw in crowds to make use of the renovated space. “I do think one thing that we still have yet to do right now,” she says, “is there’s going to have to be a bigger push to draw people in from the outside. We’ll need to expand the people who come to use the building. That will come. It may take a little more funding, but that will come.” Hipple says the Lumberyard Arts Center is a vast improvement compared to the art spaces Baldwin City has used in the past. She says the future looks bright for both the arts center and Baldwin City. “It’s so nice to have a dedicated space, to know you have the facilities, know you have running water. It’s just so much more freeing to have something like this as a teacher, where you know you have resources that are continuing to build and support what you do.”

PHOTOGRAPHY 101 They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but in real estate, a picture could be worth a thousand dollars (or more). Most agents aren’t photography professionals, but there is an understanding that better photos get listings more attention, and ultimately, a higher selling price. The absolutely best photos are taken not with “point and click” cameras, but with SLR (single-lens-reflex) cameras. Without getting too technical, just know that SLR cameras give the photographer more control and produce higher quality images. While an SLR camera costs more than your average point-and-click shooter, consider that a recent study found that listings with high quality photos sold for anywhere between $934 and $116,076

more than their average listing photo counterparts. If your agent doesn’t have an SLR camera, then you could easily recoup your investment by purchasing one yourself. Even though better photos attract more online attention, only about 15% of listings make use of the superior technology. Obviously, high-end listings stand to reap the greatest benefits, so if you’ve got a million dollar home, why would you skimp on such an important facet of marketing it? However, there is a caveat: the study found that homes listed under $300,000 didn’t see any real difference in sales price with the finer photos, so realistic and competitive pricing is the most effective marketing tool in those cases.

Get in shape for the gardening season E

ver try to do a little too much gardening on those first glorious days of spring? The shrubs need pruning, mulch needs spreading, and the perennials are just begging to have last year’s foliage removed. You spend all day basking in the sunshine with your hands in the dirt, only to be too sore to enjoy much for two to three days afterward. I used to think a sore back was just part of the gardening experience, but it turns out the pain is mostly preventable. Prevention is relatively easy, too, according to Kevin Bird, owner of Bird Physical Therapy in Lawrence. Most importantly, take plenty of breaks and stretch before and during garden work. “Usually what I see are people being too vigorous in one of two areas: They go too hard or they go too long without taking breaks,” says Bird, who sees quite a few gardening- and landscapingrelated injuries in spring and early summer. Bird recommends easing into the first week of gardening with a 10-minute rest period for every 30 minutes of work. The second week, rest after every 45 minutes of gardening. In the third week or when it feels com-

“

Usually what I see are people being too vigorous in one of two areas: They go too hard or they go too long without taking breaks.” — Kevin Bird, Bird Physical Therapy, Lawrence fortable, work 60 minutes for every 10-minute break. If you feel tired before 30 minutes go by, take a break whenever you feel it is necessary. Take advantage of break times to stretch. Bird recommends several stretches (outlined below) to work back and leg muscles. Stretches can be done in the grass (pre-chigger season) or on a hard surface if you choose to stay outdoors.

Indoor stretching may be done on a bed if the floor is uncomfortable. Good body mechanics are also important. Lift with your legs and/or get help with heavy loads. Always push carts and wheelbarrows rather than pulling. “Good supportive footwear is also really important,” Bird says. “Flipflops are a definite no-no.” Bird says barefoot gardening can be acceptable if the gardener is familiar with the environment. Crocs or similar shoes are OK if they fit well. If you do end up with an injury, Bird recommends applying ice to the affected areas. There are also several wrist, back and elbow braces available that provide support. “Gloves and kneepads and good sharp tools help, too,” says Bird, “and for equipment that vibrates, try antivibration gloves.” With Bird’s recommendations, I am looking forward to what I anticipate to be a pain-free gardening season. I may still unload an entire truck of compost in a day, but this time I have a reason to take more breaks.
