KANSAS FANS, FROM LEFT, LINDSAY HEIST, Lawrence, Andrew Payne, Lawrence, and Jarett Payne react as the game gets out of reach against Texas late in the second half on Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse. The Jayhawks suffered their first loss of the season 74-63 to the Longhorns.

Texas ends 69-game run with 74-63 victory

ONLINE: For photo galleries and discussion boards, go to KUSports.com

Rebounding from an early 15point def icit, Texas ended Kansas University’s schoolrecord, 69-game Allen Fieldhouse winning streak Saturday with a 74-63 victory.

Kansas (18-1 overall, 3-1 in the Big 12) stormed to leads of 10-0 and 18-3, but the Jayhawks, who

learned Friday night that sophomore forward Thomas Robinson’s mother, Lisa Robinson, died earlier that day at the age of 37, couldn’t sustain the emotional start.

Robinson decided to play in the game and scored two points in eight minutes. Robinson’s mother was honored with a moment of silence before the game and the team played inspired basketball at the outset.

Fatigue appeared to set in and

the Longhorns, dominating the interior, were there to take advantage.

Texas (16-3, 4-0) outscored KU, 51-28, in the second half.

It was KU’s first loss in the fieldhouse since Texas A&M won, 69-66, on Feb. 3, 2007, on Acie Law’s three-point shot from the right corner.

KU’s previous record for consecutive home-court victories was 62, spanning from 1994 to 1998.

Texas took its first lead, 45-44,

with 10:40 left in the game on a three-point shot by J’Covan Brown, who led all scorers with 23 points. Texas opened the second half on a 38-14 run.

Kansas resumes play with a Tuesday night game at Colorado.

More than 100 turn out for roast of fitness leader

By Joe Preiner jpreiner@ljworld.com

ONLINE: See video from the roast at LJWorld.com

Anyone who knows Don “Red Dog” Gardner will tell you he knows how to get people together.

There was no better proof than the showing at Saturday night’s roast, held at Alvamar Country Club in his honor.

More than 100 of Don and wife Bev’s closest friends turned out to enjoy an evening of sticking it to the man who made them stick to their workouts for years.

“We have to jump and run and climb and all manner of evil things,” friend and Dog Days participant J.R. Demby said. “So to be able to take a pitchfork and drive it in his back for a few minutes was worth it.”

And friends of Gardner let him have it. For three hours they poked fun at his age, habits and legendary use of a megaphone.

Two of the scheduled roasters even disregarded their formal attire to show off their hardearned Dog Days T-shirts. The

Measure would disclose who’s paying for ‘issue ads’

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — In the recent general election campaign, an out-of-state group spent an estimated $1 million on advertising to defeat Kansas Attorney General Steve Six. And there is no record in the state about who bankrolled that effort.

For the eighth straight year, the Kansas Governmental Ethics Commission will recommend that the Legislature approve a bill that would require groups LEGISLATURE such as the Iowa-based American Future Fund, which helped beat Six, to file campaign finance reports that show exactly how much they are spending

master Jeff Sigler said. “It was good that we had some laughs.”

Gardner took the teasing well, taking a few opportunities to issue his own retorts. Dog Days, a local health staple for 26 years,

has always had a following. Gardner said he was nervous about what roasters were going to say but was pleased with the turnout.

“It surprised me,” he said. “It was much larger than I expected, and it went even better.”

Another surprise during the event came in the form of an award from the U.S. president.

Don and Bev were presented with The President’s Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition Community Leadership Award. It was one of 28 given in 2010 across the country.

“That was something else,” Bev said.

And when the roast wound down, the Gardners took to mingling with the community they helped create.

“Don and Bev are just icons in Lawrence,” Sigler said. “They truly care about people in the community. They care about people’s health. Nowhere else in the country does something like that happen, and it starts with Red Dog and Bev.”

NORMAL , I LL . — There’s a little country diner about 20 miles west of Normal, Ill., that Sheahon Zenger and his friend, Don Franke, like to go for lunch.

Six years ago, when Zenger, the man who will take over as Kansas University’s athletic director on Feb. 1, was just starting his tenure as AD at Illinois State University, Franke — an ISU alumnus and huge supporter — took the new guy in town to the Busy Corner for some old-fashioned home cooking. The weekly escapes became a tradition as the friendship grew.

This is not rare for Zenger. He has lots of little traditions with big people.

What is rare: After six years and who knows how Zenger many thousands of dollars in donations, Franke has felt first and foremost like a friend.

“He’s never asked me for a penny,” Franke said. “I like that. Because I’m more apt to give you money if you don’t ask for it. If you need it, I’ll give it to you.”

That concept is at the core of Zenger’s philosophy on how to run an athletic department. To him, it’s not just about wins, dollar signs and donations. It’s about relationships with people, a concept that now permeates Illinois State’s campus.

“We joke about it all the time,” Associate Athletic Director Aaron Leetch said. “We call it the gospel according to Zenger. And I’m a disciple.”

It’s actually more Founding Fathers than it is Our Father. It might not be an athletic department by the people — Zenger was not elected to his jobs at ISU or Kansas — but it is of the people and for the people.

These groups get around the traditional campaign disclosure rules for individuals and political action committees because they don’t expressly advocate to vote for or against a candidate.

“There are just going to be more and more groups spending more and more money to influence our elections,” Davis said.

“We have to know who is funding these groups in order to have transparency for the voters,” he said.

Obama recalls abortion rights case President Barack Obama is marking the 38th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s landmark decision on abortion by calling the procedure a constitutional right he’s committed to protecting.

Obama also said in a statement Saturday that he remains committed to policies designed to prevent unintended pregnancies. And he called on Americans to recommit themselves to ensuring that, in the president’s words, “our daughters have the same rights, the same freedoms, and the same opportunities as our sons to fulfill their dreams.”

Obama said the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion affirmed what he called a “fundamental principle: that government should not intrude on private family matters.”

Anti-abortion activists will participate in an annual “March for Life” in Washington on Monday.

At least 2,000 police rallied in downtown Tunis, an epicenter of protest and clashes between youths and police that forced President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali to quit the country he ruled with an iron fist for 23 years.

It was a significant development for Tunisia, where police under Ben Ali were widely feared. The rally took place near the hulking Interior Ministry, a symbol of the dread that his regime inspired for many Tunisians.

Budget cuts could take toll on hospitals ————

Advocates say reduction to mental health funding would result in more ER visits

By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center’s CEO David Johnson is pleading for no more cuts in state funding.

The center, which serves 5,600 Douglas County residents annually, already has lost more than $1.1 million in funding during the past several years.

In state fiscal year 2010, the

center lost $565,000, which resulted in cutting a program that helps people transition from a hospital into the community. It also cut funding for a housing assistance program.

Over the years, it has reduced community outreach and staff.

Gov. Sam Brownback has pro-

posed cutting $15.2 million in funding to community mental health centers. Johnson estimates that will cost Bert Nash — located in the Community Health Facility at 200 Maine — another $372,000.

“I was not expecting this cut, and we still have some hopes that the administration will take a little closer look at what these cuts actually mean,” Johnson said.

“There is nothing more that Gov. Abercrombie can do within the law to produce a document,” said Dela Cruz. “Unfortunately, there are conspirators who will continue to question the citizenship of our president.”

None of the men has considered abandoning the mission, although they are free to walk out at any time, mission director and former cosmonaut Boris Morukov told reporters on Friday.

New Hampshire Republicans elected a tea party figure as their leader and rejected the establishmentbacked candidate, a sign that activists in this early voting presidential state have embraced the antigovernment message that helped them make major gains in November’s election.

Former gubernatorial candidate Jack Kimball edged businesswoman Juliana Bergeron in a race that pitted first-time voters against White House veterans. Kimball, who said he would “send Barack Obama packing” and elect a Republican governor in 2012, promised not to shy from a fight.

“We are in a war and we are going to win it,“ Kimball said. ”We are going to pull ourselves from the brink. We are going after the Democrats the whole time.”

Kansas’ 27 community mental health centers have lost about $33.5 million through funding cuts since 2008.

Book argues half of undergraduates don’t learn much

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

Stuart Brill, a Kansas University junior from Shawnee, said he can see how some people might go through the first two years of college and not learn a whole lot.

“I can believe it,” he said. “It’s just a huge lifestyle change.”

A new book, “Academically Adrift: Limited Learning on College Campuses,” argues that’s the case for nearly half of the country’s undergraduates, who show almost no gains in academic performance in the first two years of college, several media outlets reported.

While the research showed that 45 percent of students showed no significant gains in learning after two years, it also showed students are spending 50 percent less time studying than they did a few decades ago, the USA Today reported.

Susan Twombly, KU professor and chairwoman of educational leadership and policy studies, studies higher education. She said that while she hadn’t yet read the book, she noticed the book’s authors pulled data from a test that has been shown to be flawed.

One source of data used for the book was the Collegiate Learning Assessment, which is a standard-

ized test designed to examine students’ academic ability.

“Anyone who has tried using this Collegiate Learning Assessment has found it to be useless,” Twombly said.

For one thing, she said, students have little incentive to perform well on the test, and it doesn’t accurately measure what goes on in college classrooms.

Other research shows that, generally, students tend to get a lot out of college, she said.

The study used other data, too, including transcripts and surveys.

Andrea Sitek, a KU junior from Atchison, was skeptical of

the book’s findings.

“I feel like you would have to be a pretty passive learner to not pick up anything,” she said.

Sitting in a coffee shop in the Kansas Union, she and Brill agreed: They believe they’ve picked up at least some smarts after being around KU for two years.

Brill said perhaps some students don’t know enough about resources available to them.

“It might not register that when you have a help room, you can actually use it,” he said.

Probably a rat, Alex said as he sifted through the owl pellet, comparing the mixture of bones he found with the fossil drawings of various vermin.

The activity was just one of dozens for families Saturday who visited the 15th Annual Kaw Valley Eagles Day at Free State High School, 4700 Overland Drive.

The goal of the day’s event was to get kids interested in nature, said Joyce Wolf, event organizer and Jayhawk

ON THE RECORD LJWORLD.COM/BLOTTER

Audubon Society member.

“It’s an opportunity for kids to experience nature first-hand,” said Wolf of the event, which was organized in conjunction with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Several live birds sat perched on the arms of staff members from the Prairie Park Nature Center and entertained guests.

Jen Rader, a naturalist at Prairie Park, told groups of visitors about the companion on her arm, “Edgar,” a very social American crow that sometimes says “hello,” but on Saturday only spit out “kaw, kaw, kaw.”

Live birds were among the many exhibits scattered around the building, ranging from conservation techniques to honey bees to

Cuts to mental health centers Film fest to likely to increase hospital visits feature rare

admissions, emergency room visits, jail time and suicide calls. He expects the problems will only be exacerbated if the Legislature approves the proposed cuts.

“State aid allows CMHCs to serve as the mental health safety net clinic for all Kansans,” he said. “As one of my directors explains, ‘We are the fire department for mental health.’ The beneficiaries of these services are the uninsured and underinsured, over 70,000 Kansans.”

Area hospital leaders agree.

“I think if access to outpatient mental health care is compromised, individuals may be forced to rely on the emergency room services,” said Lawrence Memorial Hospital CEO Gene Meyer.

“Obviously, the numbers show that we are meeting a pretty significant community need and fully expect those numbers to rise.”

Increasing hospitalization In 2010, Lawrence Memorial Hospital had 1,031 patients visits that required psychiatric assessment. Of those, 626 required an in-depth evaluation and stabilization.

The hospital transferred 391 patients to in-patient hospitals. Forty-five percent of the transfers were to Stormont-Vail Hospital, which has 64 in-patient beds.

“We’ve been able to handle what we’ve been faced with, and we have a seen a steady increase in the past 10 years and an acceleration in that increase in the past 12 months,” said Nancy Burkhardt, spokeswoman for Stormont-Vail.

She said occasionally there is a day’s wait for a room.

“If the funding cuts were to affect those organization’s crisis services, then we definitely would see an impact and an increase because that would be the patients’ only other option,” she said.

LAWRENCE MEMORIAL HOSPITAL ER STATISTICS

Lawrence Memorial Hospital’s emergency room had 1,031 visits for patients who required psychiatric assessment and emergent care in 2010.

Of those, 626 were transferred to LMH’s Crisis Stabilization Service, an area adjacent to the main ER dedicated for more in-depth evaluating and stabilizing psychiatric patients.

Here’s a breakdown on usage of the service in 2010: ● 32 — average age ● 305 — male ● 321 — female Miskell said patient volume fluctuates at the state mental health hospitals and currently is holding steady, but last summer they did have to delay intakes.

A Lawrence resident, who wanted to remain anonymous, said having access to such in-patient mental health services was critical for her son two years ago.

“If a room wouldn’t have been available, he wouldn’t be here,” she said.

Human costs of cuts Johnson said he strongly believes cutting mental health services will not save the state money. He said studies have shown: ● People with mild depression use two to three times as much health care, or resources, as other people. ● Workers with depressive disorders are absent five hours more per week than the rest of the work force. ● The treatment success rates for such disorders as depression (more than 80 percent), panic disorder (7090 percent) and schizophrenia (60 percent), surpass those of other medical conditions such as heart disease (45-50 percent). “(People with mental illness) are not going to get better without treatment. The problems are going to show up some place if we are not providing services,” Johnson said. “It’s not like the prob-

lems are going to disappear.”

Hammond said those places include psychiatric hospitals, correctional facilities and homeless shelters.

On average, hospitalization costs: ● $428 per day in a state psychiatric hospital. ● $80 per day at Larned Correctional Mental Health Facility.

Alternatives welcome On Thursday, Brownback acknowledged his proposed cut would be difficult for community mental health centers, but he said the state faces a large revenue shortfall. He welcomed alternative suggestions.

“This is a tough budgetary atmosphere,” Brownback said.

He added that the $200 million in additional funds he is proposing for Medicaid will indirectly help community mental health agencies.

Johnson said they already are losing money on Medicaid patients and the population is growing.

“Overall, we don’t break even on Medicaid so providing more services means we need the grants to cover increased losses due to inadequate Medicaid rates,” he said.

— Gary Sherrer, regents chairman and former lieutenant governor “We have to have institutions in ascendancy,” he said.

Brownback emphasized that cancer, animal health and aviation research are all areas that Kansas schools can build on. He said institutions may have to focus on fewer areas of study.

“We can’t be all things to all people,” the governor said.

In general, higher education officials have expressed appreciation to Brownback for keeping funding flat

instead of proposing more cuts. Higher education has been cut approximately $100 million over the past two years as state revenues fell during the recession.

Now the process of forming a budget for the fiscal year that starts July 1 goes to the Legislature.

“This is just the beginning, as you know, in a long and challenging process,” said Regents Chairman Gary Sherrer of Overland Park. A former lieutenant governor, Sherrer added, “The governor’s budget, in my experience, has always been the starting place of debate, not the ending place.”

three institutions matches that amount, either through fundraising or re-allocating existing sources.

And the funding would not go through the Board of Regents, which oversees higher education, but the Kansas Department of Commerce, which is led by a Cabinet secretary appointed by the governor.

“Transferring these programs to the Department of Commerce — what does that mean?” asked Regent Tim Emert of Independence during a recent regents discussion.

Brownback also recommends allocating $1 million to Commerce to provide a competitive grant to expand engineering, and $500,000 to Commerce for competitive grants for community colleges.

Brownback said he has proposed moving those allocations through Commerce because that is the agency in charge of coordinating strategies to grow the economy.

In a speech to several hundred people at the Topeka Chamber of Commerce, Brownback said Kansas’ ranking in higher education “has stagnated in the last decade.”

This is just the beginning, as you know, in a long and challenging process. The governor’s budget, in my experience, has always been the starting place of debate, not the ending place.”

TOPEKA (AP) — A long-lost reel showing Charlie Chaplin as a Keystone Cop will be among the highlights of a silent film festival next month in Topeka.

The 1914 film, “A Thief Catcher,” turned up in 2009 at an antiques sale in Taylor, Mich. Film historian Paul Gierucki thought he was buying just another Keystone Studios comedy and didn’t watch the 16mm film until last March.

The discovery of a new Chaplin performance marked the first film added to the famed actor’s roster in 60 years.

Gierucki has been trying to introduce the film to a wider audience.

Now, he will speak Feb. 26 at the White Concert Hall at Washburn University before the audience watches Chaplin bumble onto the screen and slap around some hooligans.

Chaplin is on screen for all of three minutes in the film starring Ford Sterling, Mack Swain and Edgar Kennedy.

The focus of the rest of the 15th annual Kansas Silent Film Festival will be “The First Academy Awards 1927-28.”

Film historian Denise Morrison will introduce the films during the festival’s run from Feb. 25 to Feb. 27. Accompaniment for the films and shorts will be provided mostly by organists or the Mont Alto Orchestra, a five-piece chamber ensemble that recreates the small local orchestras that were popular in America from 1890 through 1930.

Festival activities are free, as is a presentation by film preservationist David Shephard on Feb. 25 at the Marvin Auditorium of the Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library. He will show clips from the film “Chaplin at Keystone” as well as discuss the historical significance and the restoration process of the early Chaplin work.

No-bid deal for electricity project scrutinized

By Brett J. Blackledge and Richard Lardner Associated Press Writers

W A S H I N G T O N — The U.S. awarded a no-bid, $266 million contract for a lucrative electricity project in southern Afghanistan despite promising last year to seek competitive bids, The Associated Press has learned.

The U.S. Agency for International Development made the change despite criticism over how it has managed billions of dollars spent on reconstruction contracts.

In January 2010, the agency said companies would compete for the project, which was awarded to Black & Veatch Corp. of Overland Park, Kan. USAID had chastised the company for cost overruns and busted deadlines on a diesel-fueled power plant in Kabul.

But the U.S. let 10 months pass before deciding to award a contract without competitive bids, saying that it couldn’t spend more time seeking offers.

A rival company that was interested in bidding, Symbion Power LLC of Washington, D.C., said USAID broke its promise and spent more than it should to expand electricity into Helmand and Kandahar provinces.

“I was stunned because of the cost of it,” Symbion chief executive Paul Hinks said.

The no-bid contract comes as the independent Commis-

In January 2010, the agency (USAID) said companies would compete for the project, which was awarded to Black & Veatch Corp. of Overland Park, Kan. ... But the U.S. let 10 months pass before deciding to award a contract without competitive bids, saying that it couldn’t spend more time seeking offers.

sion on Wartime Contracting is examining how wisely billions of U.S. money is being spent and how well contractors are being supervised in Afghanistan. USAID and Black & Veatch executives are scheduled to testify Monday at a commission hearing.

USAID opted against seeking competitive proposals “to meet the tight timelines required to have an urgent impact,” the agency said in a statement to the AP. Black & Veatch defended its selection for the work without competition. “The cost of this contract is entirely reasonable” and includes multiple projects in a large area subjected to intense conflict, the company said in a statement.

During the 2008 presidential campaign, Barack Obama criticized the Bush administration for awarding contracts without competition, a practice he said cost the U.S. billions of dollars each year. Once in office, Obama didn’t prohibit sole-source contracts, saying agencies needed the flexibility to tailor contracts to meet their needs.

Hinks, who has previously

fought against Black & Veatch over contract issues on the troubled power plant in Kabul, said his company successfully completed more energy projects for less money at the height of fighting in Iraq. Symbion handled about $250 million in Defense Department projects in that country, including building 11 power substations and nearly 300 miles of transmission lines.

Hinks said USAID could have received a better deal.

The agency had to discuss the project for months with Black & Veatch to craft a no-bid agreement and should have sought proposals at that time from other companies working in the region, he said.

Agency officials told Hinks in several e-mails last year that Symbion and other companies would have the chance to bid on the work.

“USAID intends to procure services through a full and open competitive procurement process and Symbion is invited to submit a proposal,” William Frej, then the agency’s Afghanistan director, wrote to Symbion in February 2010. In November,

USAID changed course, saying Black & Veatch would receive the no-bid contract because the company already was working on USAID energy projects.

Under the latest contract for work in southern Afghanistan, Black & Veatch will upgrade electrical distribution in Kandahar city, install diesel generators, rebuild power substations and install a third hydro-electric turbine generator to the Kajaki Dam in Helmand province.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON PETITION FOR DETERMINATION OF RATEMAKING PRINCIPLES AND TREATMENT RELATED TO WIND ENERGY PURCHASE POWER AGREEMENTS Westar Energy, Inc. and Kansas Gas and Electric Company (collectively Westar) has filed an application with the Kansas Corporation Commission (KCC) for a determination of ratemaking principles and treatment that will apply to the recovery in rates of the costs to be incurred by Westar pursuant to power purchase agreements for the purchase of wind energy.

R. Sarge Shriver remembered for charity, idealism at funeral Mass POTOMAC, MD. (AP) — R. Sargent Shriver was always an optimist, pioneering the Peace Corps and running the War on Poverty during the turbulent 1960s — an idealist even as the running mate on a Democratic presidential ticket doomed for failure.

At his funeral Mass on Saturday, mourners from philanthropist and musician Bono to Vice President Joe Biden to former President Bill Clinton honored a man who dedicated his life to serving others. The celebration was filled with songs, laughter and fond memories.

“Fifty years ago, President Kennedy told us we should ask what we can do for our country,” Clinton told the gathering at Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Church. “A whole generation of us understood what President Kennedy meant by looking at Sargent Shriver’s life.”

Shriver, who died Tuesday at age 95, was affectionately known as “Sarge.” He grew up during the Great Depression, went to Yale on a scholarship and served in the Navy during World War II. Then, he fulfilled his brother-in-law John F.

Kennedy’s campaign promise by developing the Peace Corps into a lasting international force.

“When he was starting the Peace Corps from scratch, many people thought he was

naive and too idealistic, wanting to send a bunch of young Americans abroad” to some of the poorest countries of the world, said his son, Mark Shriver. “Daddy saw people helping people.”

Westar’s Predetermination Request In 2009, the Kansas Legislature adopted the Renewable Energy Standards (RES) Act. For calendar years 2011 through 2015, the RES Act requires each utility to serve its loads with renewable energy resources with a name plate capacity equal to 10 percent of the utility’s average retail peak demand for the three preceding years. The RES requirement grows to 15 percent for calendar years 2016 through 2019 and to 20 percent for calendar years 2020 and thereafter.

To meet these standards, Westar estimates it needs a total of 1,000 MW of renewable generation in place by 2020.

The company currently has 301 MW of renewable energy generation (295 MW by wind and 6 MW by landfill gas), which means it will be required to add 700 MW (approximately) over the next 10 years as projected below:

A WARM INVITATION In spring and summer, it’s easy to envision ways to enhance your home’s curb appeal with a trimmed lawn, planted and potted flowers, and patios and decks arranged with outdoor furniture and an inviting grill. But when the leaves fall and the temperatures drop, even homes in temperate climates undergo a winter transformation that can challenge a seller to create exterior appeal.

When it comes to landscaping and colorful plants, there are plenty of ornamental grasses and plants that look great in wintertime. Purple cabbages, fountain grasses, and potted evergreens along pathways and by the door all add seasonal color and appeal. And obviously, your sidewalk, entry path, patio and deck should be clear of leaves and/or snow.

Be sure to keep in mind that shorter days mean that buyers are that much more likely to see your home after sunset, so make sure all your floodlights are clean and in working order, highlighting your home’s exterior features. Lamps with soft lighting in all your windows will also offer a warm invitation.

Westar proposes to enter into power purchase agreements (PPAs) for 369 MW of wind generation with two site developers in Kansas in order to comply with the RES Act requirements. These agreements will have 20-year terms commencing when the projects are completed and placed into service. Westar anticipates the in-service date of the wind resources will be in the latter half of 2012.

Westar has asked the Commission to determine that: 1) Westar’s proposal to purchase 369 MW of wind generation is prudent; 2) The 369 MW of wind generation Westar will acquire will be considered used and useful for the provision of service to Westar’s customers; 3) The costs associated with the purchase of this wind energy can be recovered through Westar’s Retail Energy Cost Adjustment (RECA).

Finally, just to cover your bases, have photos available of your home in all its glory during the spring and summer months. This gives buyers a better sense of your home’s appeal during all the seasons of the year. Your agent will have more tips for attracting buyers in any kind of weather.

Westar estimates that if the PPAs are approved, the average retail customer would experience a rate increase of approximately 13 one-thousands of one cent per kWh, or approximately 1.7 percent.

Zenger focused on relationships as ISU AD SHEAHON ZENGER, LEFT, NEW DIRECTOR OF KANSAS ATHLETICS, POSES with Illinois State University alumnus and former NBA star Doug Collins and ISU alumnus Don Franke after taking a look at the work on the Doug Collins statue that now sits outside of Redbird Arena. The statue, Zenger’s idea, was funded entirely by Franke, who is one of the university’s biggest supporters.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

“He always made you feel like, ‘Hey, we’re in this thing together, we’re friends and we’re gonna help each other,’” said ISU men’s basketball coach Tim Jankovich, who spent four years as an assistant to Bill Self at KU. “And there’s no greater feeling. What could be better than that?” ●●● When Zenger arrived at Illinois State in 2005, he took over a program in desperate need of unity and camaraderie, and he delivered both.

Although ISU sits at the center of the “Twin Cities” of Bloomington-Normal, the university, particularly its athletic department, was the farthest thing from most peo- said ISU President Al Bowple’s minds.

Of course, KU need.’” has done its share of bringing Things turned around attention to itself in the past quickly, and Zenger showed 18 months. The ticket scanright away that the nice-guy approach didn’t interfere with his ability to handle the dirty work. Just a couple of years into his time at ISU, Zenger f ired two of the school’s most popular coaches and replaced them with winners who bought in to his philosophy and passed it on to their athletes and their athletes’ families.

“

●●● Zenger’s time at ISU was not limited to making people smile and reconnecting a city with its scholar athletes.

In addition to nearly doubling ISU’s annual fundraising dollars from $650,000 in 2005 to more than $1.2 million in 2010, Zenger redid the Redbirds’ baseball stadium, put into motion construction of a men’s basketball locker room at Redbird Arena, locked up plans to renovate the south gym at old Horton Field House so the men and women could practice at their own facilities and gave small face-lifts to several other facilities and playing surfaces.

Some athletic directors might choose to sit back and let those accomplishments speak for them. Not Zenger.

He still made it a point to get to every ISU event he could, from football games on Saturdays to swimming and gymnastics meets on weeknights.

“Every time I go to an athletic event, he’s there,” said Katelyn Massey, ISU junior track athlete. “And he’s really just been there for all the athletes and the coaches. Even the fans. He really gets into it with the fans.”

In many ways, that’s because Zenger is a fan himself.

“His behavior on game day, particularly on football game days, really intrigued me,”

dals, federal indictments, coaching resignations and fights between the men’s basketball and football teams all made national news and were talked about at ISU even before Zenger left.

“I get the sense that the Kansas community was looking for someone to restore integrity and trust,” Bowman said. “And when I talked to the chancellor there, I said, ‘There is no person on the planet in a better position to do that than Sheahon Zenger.’

And it’s not just that he’s from Kansas, but he oozes Kansas values.

“He’s real. He’s not pretentious. He’s smart. He’s all of the other things that you have to be to be a successful leader.”

At Kansas, one of the biggest challenges Zenger figures to encounter is the task of turning the Jayhawks’ football program into a profitable and consistent winner.

Those who worked with him at ISU say they’re certain Zenger won’t focus so much on football that he’ll neglect everything else.

“He still believes that the student-athlete is what it’s all about,” Leetch, the associate athletic director, said. “And he will not compromise that.”

Added women’s basketball coach Stephanie Glance, whom Zenger hired in April after an initial phone interview that lasted five hours: “Most ADs put a lot of emphasis on football and men’s basketball, and rightfully so. They are the money-making sports. But women’s basketball, and women’s athletics in general, has a place. And Sheahon understands that and he appreciates that. He shows

it. Not just in his backing of women’s athletics financially but in his spirit behind the backing.”

It doesn’t matter what building you’re in or what subject you’re talking about — people in Normal know Zenger.

That’s by design. When Zenger arrived at ISU six years ago, he wanted to make the community feel like a part of the university, like a part of his family.

The moves he made — even the tough ones — were with that in mind, and that’s why you’d be hard-pressed to f ind anyone among the 120,000-plus people of Bloomington-Normal who’s said, or even heard, a negative word about Zenger.

“He’s been a coach, he’s been an athlete, he’s been in the higher-ed part of it as well,” said Spack, the football coach. “And he appreciates the whole sphere of what college athletics is all about. I think he’s a perfect athletic director. I think he’s a dying breed, to be honest with you.”

Added Glance: “He really does think of himself as having a higher purpose.”

Health care overhaul debate shifts to states

By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar Associated Press Writer

W A S H I N G T O N — True or false: States suing to overturn core requirements of President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul are refusing to carry out the law.

If you said “true,” you’d be wrong.

Republican state legislators and governors are working on how to deliver coverage to more than 30 million people now uninsured, as the law calls for, even as GOP attorneys general lead the legal battle to overturn the law’s mandate that most Americans have health insurance.

The result? Perhaps the first practical opportunity for the two political parties to work together on an issue that divide them in Washington.

“I can be philosophically opposed and recognize that we can’t be asleep at the switch,” said Alabama state Rep. Greg Wren, a Republican playing a national role.

“I for one have no interest in ceding any regulatory or statutory authority to the federal government in this area and allowing our state to default while we pursue the litigation side,” said Wren, co-chairman of a National Conference of State Legislatures task force on the health care remake.

The debate in the nation’s capital seems headed for a stalemate this year because Senate Democrats have the votes to thwart House Republicans’ efforts to repeal the law. Denying the Obama administration money to

ALABAMA STATE REP. GREG WREN, R-MONTGOMERY, pictured at the Alabama Statehouse in Montgomery, Ala., on Jan. 12, is playing a national role in trying to deliver health care coverage to those now uninsured. Republican governors and state legislators are setting up the machinery to carry out the law in their states even as attorneys general argue the courts should declare it unconstitutional. carry out the law isn’t a sure strategy either; most of the money was woven tightly into the legislation Congress passed last year.

“We will see a lot of small battles in Congress, but the real center of gravity will shift to the states,” said Mike Leavitt, former Republican governor of Utah and health secretary under President George W. Bush. “Bipartisanship is more vibrant in the states than it is in Washington. That doesn’t mean it’s plentiful, but at least it’s alive.”

States have to be ready to take on major responsibilities when the coverage expansion gets going in 2014. If not, the federal government will come in and run things.

States must set up and operate health insurance markets where an estimated 24 million people eventually

will buy private coverage, most with the aid of federal subsidies. Also, states must open their Medicaid programs to a broader segment of low-income people.

The Medicaid expansion worries state off icials.

They’re already struggling with the costs of the program, draining money from other services from education to law enforcement. Special added Medicaid payments that Washington funneled to the states in the economic downturn will end this year, worsening the crunch.

About 16 million newly eligible people eventually would get Medicaid under the law, and potentially several million more who are eligible today but not signed up could enroll as well. The law says the federal government will pick up the full cost of those newly eligible for the

first few years, but doesn’t deal directly with covering the other group.

If state officials are unsure about the Medicaid expansion, they’re intrigued about what they might be able to do with the new insurance markets, known as exchanges.

Consumers will be able to go online and pick a private plan from a range of coverage levels and options. Comparison shopping will be easier because benefits will be standardized.

Nearly every state has applied for an initial round of federal planning grants to explore how to design the markets.

“State exchanges are good from a conservative standpoint because they involve consumer choice and markets,” said former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, a Tennessee Republican.

“What I would like to see is more flexibility given to states in the regulations that define how the legislation works,” said Frist. “Each state can develop the exchange that best meets the needs of their people.” Two models already exist: Utah’s, which is light on regulation, and Massachusetts’, where the state government is more directly involved.

Frist, a heart transplant surgeon, has teamed with Democrat Tom Daschle of South Dakota, also a former Senate leader, to try to change the health care debate by stepping back from the repeal fight and using the law as a foundation that can be improved. They expect to direct many of their recommendations to the states.

ISTANBUL — The collapse of another attempt at international outreach to Iran on Saturday has left world powers with few options except to wait — and hope that the bite of sanctions will persuade Tehran to reconsider its refusal to stop activities that could be harnessed to make nuclear weapons.

But their patience could be tested. While the U.S. and others say that Iran already is suffering from the wide range of financial and trade sanctions, travel bans and other penalties imposed by the U.N., the U.S., the EU and others, the Islamic Republic shows no sign of bending.

Uranium enrichment lies at the heart of the dispute.

Low-enriched uranium — at around 3.5 percent — can be used to fuel a reactor to generate electricity, which Iran says is the intention of its program. But if uranium is further enriched to around 90 percent purity, it can be used to develop a nuclear warhead.

Iran came to the Istanbul talks with six world powers Friday declaring it would not even consider freezing uranium enrichment — and left the negotiations Saturday repeating the same mantra.

Throughout two days of hectic meetings, it stubbornly pushed demands it must have known were unacceptable to the six — a lifting of sanctions and acceptance of its enrichment program before any further discussion of its nuclear activities.

“Both these preconditions are not the way to proceed,” EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton declared — and added no new talks were planned.

Publicly, the U.S. and others nations concerned that Iran could turn its enrichment program toward making fissile warhead material say that troubles with enrichment have slowed that activity and left more time to persuade Iran to heed international concerns than thought just a year ago.

Israeli officials now talk of a three-year window — until 2014 — before Iran can make a bomb. That compares with projections of 2011 just three years ago.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton told NBC’s “Today” show earlier this week that the new Israeli estimates are “very significant.” The delay, she said, “gives us more of a breathing space to try to work to prevent them from obtaining a nuclear weapon.”

Two outside forces could account for any Iranian problems in enriching uranium — the increasing weight of U.N. and other sanctions meant to choke off raw materials needed to make and maintain the program, and the apparent havoc caused by the mysterious Stuxnet computer malware, which experts think was created by Israel or the U.S.

While there is no talk for now of U.N Security Council new sanctions past a fourth set in June that target Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, ballistic missiles and nuclear-related investments, there have been significant Western efforts to enforce present penalties.

Senior U.S. officials have been touring China, Japan, South Korea and the prowestern Arab nations to demand compliance with the U.N sanctions and the European Union, Canada, Australia and others have followed Washington’s example in imposing their own restrictions on trade, financial transactions and other relations with Iran.

Voting hurdles The new Kansas secretary of state needs to quantify both the problem posed by voter fraud and the cost of the solutions he proposes.

M

aintaining the integrity of elections in Kansas certainly is important. If there are significant problems of any kind — voting or voter registration fraud, defective counting equipment, malfunctioning voting touch screens, significant clerical errors or anything else — the state should take reasonable steps to eliminate them.

In the state’s current financial condition, however, legislators must think carefully before moving forward on legislation proposed by Secretary of State Kris Kobach that would spend an undetermined amount of state resources to correct a problem that hasn’t been documented or measured.

Although Kobach hasn’t presented any evidence of how serious or widespread voter fraud is in Kansas, he has proposed sweeping legislation “to secure the integrity of Kansas elections.” His proposed legislation would require voters to show proof of citizenship when they register to vote and a photo ID at the polls on Election Day. The bill also includes new requirements for mail-in ballots.

According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, eight states currently request or require photo identification at the polls; Oklahoma will join that list on July 1. Eighteen states require an ID but not a photo. Kansas only requires first-time voters to show identification when they register and at the polls.

Many Kansans may think that requiring voters to present an ID every time they vote isn’t unreasonable, but some studies contend that ID requirements suppress voter turnout, especially for low-income and elderly residents.

Kobach has tried to address that concern with a provision that would supply free state IDs or birth certificates to people in those groups. He didn’t, however, know how much it would cost the state to provide that service.

The bill’s requirements for voter registration might not cost the state more, but it would pass on additional costs to county election officials who must deal with proof of citizenship. The provision not only would create an additional hurdle for qualified voters who want to register, it also could interfere with voter registration efforts like those provided locally by the League of Women Voters of Lawrence/Douglas County.

The new rules on mail-in ballots likely would have its greatest impact on elderly and disabled voters who find it difficult to physically come to the polls. People applying for a mail-in ballot must provide an identification number and a signature that matches the county’s registration record. Verifying that information, again, would pass additional work and expense on to county election officials.

Kobach’s bill also would increase the penalties for voter fraud, but a more reasonable step might be for Kobach simply to enforce the state’s current laws more vigorously. That would give him — and the rest of the state — a chance to see how widespread the problem is and how best to solve whatever problem exists.

Given the low voter turnout in most local and state elections, it would be a shame to pass laws that discouraged participation by qualified, legal Kansas voters. If Kansas has a problem with voter fraud, it should be addressed, but until that problem can be defined, it doesn’t make sense to pass laws that will set new voting barriers and increase costs for county and state election officials.

Disharmony is natural state for U.S. W A S H I N G T O N — America is a creedal nation and the creed is, as Robert Penn Warren wrote, the “burr under the metaphysical saddle of America.” It is a recurring source of national introspection, discontent, self-indictment and passionate politics. We are in the midst of a recurrence.

The tone of today’s politics was anticipated and is vindicated by a book published 30 years ago.

The late Samuel Huntington’s “American Politics: The Promise of Disharmony” (1981) clarifies why it is a mistake to be alarmed by today’s political excitements and extravagances, a mistake refuted by America’s past.

The “predominant characteristics” of the Revolutionary era, according to Gordon Wood, today’s pre-eminent historian of that period, were “fear and frenzy, the exaggerations and the enthusiasm, the general sense of social corruption and disorder.”

In the 1820s, Daniel Webster said “society is full of excitement.” Of the 1830s, Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, “The country is full of rebellion; the country is full of kings. Hands off! Let there be no control and no interference in the administration of this kingdom of me.” As the 20th century dawned, Theodore Roosevelt found a “condition of excitement and irritation in the popular mind.” In 1920, George Santayana wrote, “America is all one prairie, swept by a universal tornado.”

Unusual turmoil is not so unusual that it has no pattern.

‘Americans,’ “Huntington believed,

‘become polarized less over the substance of their beliefs than over how seriously to take those beliefs.’”

By the time Huntington’s book appeared, American had had four of what he called “periods of creedal passion” — the Revolutionary era (1770s), the Jacksonian era (the 1830s), the Progressive era (1900-1920) and the 1960s. We are now in the fifth.

The American Creed’s values are liberal, as that term was understood until liberalism succumbed to 20th-century statism.

The values, expressing the 18th century’s preoccupation with defending liberty against government, are, Huntington said, “individualistic, democratic, egalitarian, and hence basically anti-government and anti-authority.”

What made the American Revolution a novel event was that Americans did not declare inde-

pendence because their religion, ethnicity, language or culture made them incompatible with the British. Rather, it was a political act based on explicit principles. So in America more than in Europe, nationalism is, Huntington said, “intellectualized”: “We hold these truths to be self-evident.” Who holds them? Americans. Who are Americans? Those who hold those truths to be self-evident.

America is an inherently “disharmonic society” because the ideals of its creed are always imperfectly realized, and always endangered. Government is necessary but, Huntington says, “the distinctive aspect of the American Creed is its anti-government character. Opposition to power and suspicion of government as the most dangerous embodiment of power are the central themes of American political thought.”

In 20th-century Europe, the ideologies that propelled change — Marxism, fascism — were, Huntington noted, utterly unlike those that animated the 18th century. “In the United States, in contrast, the themes, slogans, and concerns of one creedal passion period strongly resemble those of another.” Ideologies minted since the Revolutionary era, such as Marxism, have had slight impacts on American politics. Although many intellectuals consider American political theory unsophisticated, it is more central to political practices than theory is in other countries.

After the Founding there was,

Huntington thought, a change in Americans’ “dominant conception of human nature.” The image of man as inherently sinful, dangerous and in need of control by cleverly contrived political institutions yielded to a much more benign image of man as essentially good and potentially perfectible. But, Huntington wrote, “both views were used to justify limitations on government.” If men are bad, government should be weak lest men put it to bad uses. If men are well-intentioned and reasonable, strong government is not necessary to control them, so “government should be weak because men are good.”

Periods of creedal passion involve returns to first principles — hence the tea partiers orientation to 1773. “Americans,” Huntington believed, “become polarized less over the substance of their beliefs than over how seriously to take those beliefs.” Today, the general conservatism of this centerright country and especially the tea party impulse demand renewed seriousness about the creed’s core skepticism about government.

Modern liberalism’s handicap is its unhappiness with this core.

“It has been our fate as a nation,” wrote historian Richard Hofstadter, “not to have ideologies but to be one.” It is an excellent fate, even if — actually, because — the creed periodically, as now, makes America intensely disharmonic.

PUBLIC FORUM

Conservative?

Unifying gestures are a start Dear Congress: Some months ago in a column on American disunion, I invoked the question Rodney King made famous 19 years ago: “Can we all get along?” One of my conservative readers answered in a word: No. It is with that response in mind that I write to applaud you for embracing an idea floated by Colorado Sen. Mark Udall. It’s a simple thing, really: Instead of the divided seating that usually marks these affairs — Democrats over here, Republicans over there — he wants members of both parties to mix together when President Obama delivers his State of the Union address Tuesday.

Of course, it says something about the state of the union that this proposal is even needed. But the idea is a good one and I hope all of you support it. It is true some might write it off as symbolism. It is also true that symbolism matters.

Especially now, as we mourn the dead and encourage the survivors of the massacre in Tucson in which a mentally unstable gunman allegedly tried to assassinate Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. It’s a tragedy that has inspired many of us to reconsider the violent, vitriolic and divisive political rhetoric that has become so commonplace.

While such rhetoric did not cause — even indirectly — the carnage in Arizona, that reconsideration is still appropriate. By way of explanation, I invite you to ponder a controversy from the ’90s. As you may recall, some people, outraged by a violent heavy metal song called “Cop Killer” by a group called Body Count, sought to censor and boy-

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

“

So Udall’s gesture, modest as it is, is welcome because it suggests the capacity for statesmanship is not yet completely gone from you.” cott it out of existence, many saying it would cause cop killings.

I considered it simplistic to think the average kid would hear that song and suddenly decide to go shoot a cop. I agreed with Body Count’s lead singer, the rapper IceT, when he said that if somebody aspires to kill a police officer, “all I did was make him a theme song.”

But at the same time, I wanted to ask him: Does that make it OK? Do you really think you should be providing that individual’s theme song? Does it not, “should” it not, give you pause to find yourself so loudly in sync with someone that hateful and demented?

The same chain of logic — and the same questions — apply here.

I do not believe alleged shooter Jared Lee Loughner was an average guy who, upon hearing some violent rhetoric from Sarah Palin, suddenly snapped and decided to shoot Giffords. But at the same

time, I want to ask Palin: Should you really be providing that individual’s theme music?

Actually, Congress, it is more important to ask you.

Let’s face it, Sarah Palin, like Ice-T, is an entertainer, a profession they have in common with many supposed pundits. And while entertainers are not exempt from social responsibility, one has to remember that their primary imperative is to entertain.

You have — or at least, are supposed to have —— a higher calling. But one would not know that from the poison some of you have spouted. One would not know it from hearing Rep. Joe Wilson cry out “You lie!” as the president was speaking. One would not know it from seeing you cheer on hecklers in the gallery during the healthcare debate. One would not know it from the hesitance of some of you to dissociate from certain radio pundits who cross all lines of propriety and respect.

So Udall’s gesture, modest as it is, is welcome because it suggests the capacity for statesmanship is not yet completely gone from you. Too many of you behave as if you think you were elected to get re-elected or elected to rouse the rabble. Gentlemen and ladies, you were elected to do just one thing: lead the nation. The “whole” nation.

May I hope Tuesday’s planned gesture means some of you are at last ready to accept that obligation? If so, I suspect I speak for many when I say: it’s about time.

— Leonard Pitts Jr is a columnist for the Miami Herald. He chats with readers from noon to 1 p.m. CST each Wednesday on www.MiamiHerald.com.

To the editor: Many problems of Secretary of State Kris Kobach’s proposed “S.A.F.E.” (Secure And Fair Elections) bill have already been pointed out.

Kobach’s immediate predecessors, of both parties, say the voter fraud it is meant to address is a bogus issue.

Many have already pointed out his bill will add new costs, and give Kobach law enforcement powers no previous secretary of state ever had.

But the new government funding and new government powers are necessary: They put teeth in the new regulations for increased government oversight of voters that Kobach’s bill mandates.

Probably no need to be concerned. Kobach claims he’s a good “conservative,” and “conservatives” always protect our rights and our money. Right?

Steve Hicks, Lawrence

Extra effort To the editor: I hope all of the people in our town appreciate the city trash workers as much as I do.

Thursday, I was trying to get to my daughter’s house, who needed some help, and I found myself stuck in a snowdrift just off of 15th Street trying to get on a side street. It was a rather dangerous place to be because the drivers coming up the hill could not see my car until they came upon the side street where I was stuck.

Along came the city workers with the trash pickup who stopped to help me. They all three jumped out, pushed me out of the snowdrift and told me to have a great day. Needless to say, I am so very grateful to them for their help and smiling faces.

Before the first of the year, my little 2-year-old grandsons were standing with me in our driveway watching the trash pickup truck, which totally fascinates the little boys. The city workers waved at them, honked the big horn for them, and one ran up the drive to say “hi” and shake hands with them.

We have a great group of people who work in our community and I, for one, want to say a great big “Thank you!”

Annie LeMert, Lawrence

BRIEFLY Kansas home sales stabilize in December WICHITA (AP) — The Kansas Association of Realtors says home sales in the state stabilized last month compared to the same time a year ago.

It contends home sales are bucking a national trend with numbers a bit better than December 2008.

The Wichita Eagle reports that the 2,032 homes sold statewide last month are up by one home sale. That compares to national sales, which were down 2.9 percent for the month.

Officials are encouraged by the numbers.

A tragic loss

KANSAS’ THOMAS ROBINSON GETS A HUG FROM TEAMMATE MARKIEFF MORRIS (21) during a moment of silence to honor Robinson’s mother. Lisa Robinson died Friday, the night before KU’s 74-63 loss to Texas at Allen Fieldhouse.

Mourning, KU falls to Longhorns

Jayhawks play with heavy hearts

By Gary Bedore

The first loss in 19 games this season and in the past 70 games in Allen Fieldhouse didn’t have anything to do with why the three Kansas University basketball players who attended Saturday’s postgame interview session had difficulty talking. Tyrel Reed, Marcus Morris and Brady Morningstar looked emotionally spent after they lost, 74-63, to a terrific Texas team.

Words can’t ever capture the feelings when a loved one suffers a death in the family.

Sophomore Thomas Robinson’s teammates were shaken to the bone by the Friday night death of Robinson’s mother, Lisa Robinson, who herself had lost both of her parents in recent weeks.

gbedore@ljworld.com

Thomas Robinson’s baby sister, Jayla Paris, cell-phoned her big brother late Friday night.

The news was the worst possible kind.

Their beloved mother, Lisa, had just died, apparently of a heart attack, in Washington, D.C. “Thomas couldn’t stop crying.

Coach (Bill) Self was there. He cried. It was just real emotional,” Kansas University junior guard Tyshawn Taylor said of an impromptu team gathering in sophomore forward Robinson’s Jayhawker Towers apartment, which began before midnight and lasted well into the wee hours of the morning — the same morning

It was a loss that snapped No. 2 KU’s 69-game homecourt winning streak, something that meant so very little to the JayNick Krug/Journal-World Photo hawks compared to the heartbreak their teammate, who had KANSAS FORWARD MARCUS MORRIS HANGS HIS HEAD as the game gets out of reach against Please see MOURNING, page 4B Texas late in the second half.

Woodland keeps title hope alive

FORMER KANSAS UNIVERSITY GOLFER GARY WOODLAND hits from the 10th tee of the Palmer Private course at PGA West during the fourth round of the Bob Hope Classic on Saturday in La Quinta, Calif. Woodland is tied for the lead heading into today’s final round.

LA QUINTA, CALIF. (AP) — Gary Woodland and Jhonattan Vegas realize the marathon Bob Hope Classic will come down to a sprint.

At least the weather will be perfect for a good run at their first PGA Tour victories.

Vegas birdied the final five holes Saturday to rejoin Woodland for the second straight day atop a leaderboard dominated by hungry, inexperienced 20-somethings.

Woodland and Vegas shot 66s to set up a fifth-round showdown between two 26-year-olds with tremendous driving power and little experience in such pressure-packed situations. Neither slugger had ever held a lead on the PGA Tour until this week.

“This deal is still long from

over,” Woodland said. “It’s going to be a shootout again. The conditions will be perfect again. The greens are perfect. You’re going to have to go low and get that putter hot.”

Vegas fell several shots behind Woodland with a rough start on the La Quinta course before his flurry of birdies to get to 6 under, matching Woodland at 24 under for the week. Woodland was as steady as the postcard-perfect weather on the Palmer Private course in the PGA Tour’s only five-day, four-course event.

“I saw the leaderboard and saw that Gary was (ahead), so I really tried to push it a little bit, and things went my way,” said Vegas, who finished his round with an

18-foot birdie putt. “I stayed patient, stayed positive throughout the round, and was able to hit some really good shots in a row.”

Vegas and Woodland will play together today with Scotland’s Martin Laird, who was two shots back, on the generous Palmer course. The ideal Palm Springs conditions, described by more than one golfer as playing in a dome, are likely to make nearperfection necessary.

With most of the sport’s top names taking the week off or playing in Abu Dhabi, the Hope is a prime opportunity for a young player looking to make a mark in a historically important tournament fallen on leaner times despite its $5 million purse.

The prospect of a frantic finish intrigues both Woodland, the former college basketball player playing in his 28th PGA Tour event, and Vegas, the Venezuelan golf pioneer making just his fifth appearance. Woodland never even won on the Nationwide Tour, but plans to draw on his basketball experience and on his four tournament victories during his senior year at Kansas University.

“You’ve got to stay in the moment, that’s the main deal,” said Woodland, who has never finished higher than 21st on the PGA Tour. “Even if you have a six-shot lead, these guys out here on this golf course, that’s nothing. You can make up six shots in four or five holes.”

NBA Hinrich to have MRI on elbow WASHINGTON — Washington Wizards guard Kirk Hinrich sat out Sat-

urday night’s game against Boston and will have an MRI on his sprained right elbow. Hinrich hyperextended the elbow in the fourth quarter of Friday’s loss to Phoenix.

Coach Flip Saunders said the team will wait a day or two for the swelling to go down before Hinrich has the MRI, making it unlikely the veteran will play in Monday’s game at New York.

“We’re more concerned about ligaments in the elbow,” Saunders said, “because of how it was hyperextended.”

TENNIS Wozniacki into quarters MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA — Caroline

Wozniacki moved into the Australian Open quarterfinals with a 6-3, 6-4 win over Anastasija Sevastova today and is just one victory from ensuring she’ll retain the top ranking.

LHS tops Topeka West BOX SCORE

By Clark Goble Journal-World Sports Writer

TOPEKA — Junior Anthony Buffalomeat missed his first shot and finished with no points in Friday’s loss.

In Lawrence High’s 55-38 victory over Topeka West on Saturday, Buffalomeat made his first shot and finished with 21 points.

Maybe the fact that he played so well after making his first shot isn’t a total coincidence.

“I think when shots fall for him, that really fuels his fire, like any high school kid,” LHS coach Mike Lewis said.

“Sometimes they let the shots affect them too much.”

The Lions finished in seventh place at the Topeka Invitational Tournament for the fourth time in 46 years.

Against the Chargers’ mix of man-to-man and 2-3 defense, the Lions valued their possessions, often making more than 10 passes before taking a shot.

In a timeout early in the third quarter, Lewis told his players they needed to make at least f ive good passes before they could shoot.

“And that doesn’t mean we jack it on the sixth,” Lewis said.

That way, the Lions could force the defense to work. By stretching the Chargers defensively, Buffalomeat and other Lions found open driving lanes to the basket.

LHS also was energized defensively, forcing 16 Charg-

Seabury (7-4) will play host to Veritas Christian on Friday.

Lewis said he thought his team’s intensity on defense created easy opportunities in transition.

Lewis said he thought his team played three solid games in the tournament but was plagued by a couple of bad quarters. The Lions didn’t make a field goal in the fourth quarter of Thursday’s 50-46 loss to Wichita East or in the second quarter of Friday’s 5039 loss to Highland Park.

“Those are good reminders when you can see the guys out there with their plaque,” Lewis said.

The win also gives the Lions some confidence heading into Tuesday’s game against Free State at LHS. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.

“For our guys to step up and play with the energy they did today, I’m very proud of that,” Lewis said. “I’m hoping that momentum carries into Tuesday.”

Kansas women looking to rebound

By Ben Ward Journal-World Sports Writer

It’s only four games into the Big 12 slate, so it’s far too early to count out the Kansas University women’s basketball team.

But with a 1-3 mark in the conference after back-to-back losses, the Jayhawks f ind themselves in dire need of a victory.

It won’t come easily today, when KU plays host to a sec- OKLAHOMA ondAT KANSAS straight Top-25 When: Noon today opponent, No. 14 Where: Allen Oklahoma, Fieldhouse TV: FSN (cable at noon.

The Jay- channels 36, 236) hawks are 0-7 against OU under coach Bonnie Henrickson and haven’t topped the Sooners (14-3, 4-0) since Feb. 20, 1999.

Though the Jayhawks have lamented what they feel should have been a 3-1 start to conference play, they’re focused on moving forward.

“We have got to stay together,” Henrickson said following Wednesday’s blowout loss

to Baylor. “We have to go back to competing on every single play and get back to who we were for a big stretch of the nonconference.”

To get back in the win column, the Jayhawks will certainly need to regain a sense of identity on both ends.

Leading scorer Carolyn Davis was held to only two points by Brittney Griner and Baylor on Wednesday, when no other Jayhawk was much of a factor offensively, either.

In the noncon schedule, the Jayhawks used their active hands and strong half-court defense to generate steals and get out in transition.

Recently, though, KU hasn’t had as many fast-break baskets, getting only six total in losses against Nebraska and Baylor, and has been bogged down in half-court sets.

The Sooners are led by speedy guard Danielle Robinson, who carries impressive averages of 18.8 points, 3.9 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 3.2 steals.

Along with Robinson, 6foot-1 guard Whitney Hand (14.4 points, 7.2 rebounds) and freshman Aaryn Ellenberg (16.4 points) pose a big challenge for KU’s backcourt.

Longhorns weather early Kansas flurry

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Rick Barnes has been to Allen Fieldhouse enough times to know that the home team always delivers one of those runs that lights up the scoreboard, raises the volume and brings the Kansas University fans to their feet.

Saturday, during No. 2 Kansas University’s 74-63 loss to No. 10 Texas, that tidal wave of emotion came in the game’s opening minutes. Yet Texas never flinched. Despite trailing 10-0 and 18-3, Barnes refused to call timeout and forced his players to deal with

the madhouse that Allen Fieldhouse had become.

“I know our team,” Barnes said after the game. “And I do think there is a time in the game where they have to figure it out themselves. I told them during the first (media) timeout, when we started the game with two missed shots, we let that affect the rest of the game.”

Brady Morningstar’s deep jumper from the baseline pushed KU’s lead to 15 with 14:33 to play in the first half.

But from that point on, the Longhorns ran even with the Jayhawks and trailed by just 12, 35-23, at the half.

Overcoming the early onslaught gave the Longhorns confidence heading into the second half, and, from the 14:33 mark of the first half on, Texas outscored Kansas, 7145.

“They came in and they were on fire,” said UT sophomore Jordan Hamilton, who finished with 17 points and nine rebounds. “They did a great job in the first half, and we did a terrible job. Then we came out in the second half and we played hard. Coach always said, ‘We’re gonna win this game.’ He kept saying that.”

Clearly, Barnes’ players

believed it. Five minutes into the second half, UT cut the KU lead to seven points.

Two minutes later it was down to five.

And, with 10:38 to play, Texas took its first lead on the second of back-to-back threepointers from Jayhawk killer J’Covan Brown (23 points on 6-of-10 shooting).

Kansas (18-1 overall, 3-1 Big 12) never led again.

“I think this was a key win for us,” said Brown, who has helped UT knock off North Carolina, Michigan State, Illinois and Kansas this season. “Last year, (KU) came into our house and destroyed

us. That was what was on my mind the whole time, but I didn’t tell anybody. Just to come back and get a win here, it was good for our team.”

It was also historic. Not only did the Texas victory snap KU’s school-record, homecourt winning streak of 69 straight games, it also marked the first time in school history that the Longhorns had left Lawrence victorious. Texas (16-3, 4-0) was 0-9 in Lawrence, 0-7 in Allen Fieldhouse, heading into Saturday.

Though snapping both streaks was cause for celebration, UT’s players weren’t

overly amped about either feat.

“They’re a great team and a great program,” said freshman Tristan Thompson, who contributed 12 points, six rebounds and five blocks. “But it’s a road game. It was one win, and you have to keep building from that. We showed a lot of bad things in the first half; we didn’t play our game unfortunately. But we were able to bounce back and pull out the win. We know we have a lot of stuff to work on, but in terms of the record and what it means to Texas history, it’s impressive.

But we have to keep working.

It’s old news now.”

NOTEBOOK So long, streak The longest homecourt winning streak in Kansas University basketball history has been snapped at 69 games.

“I couldn’t care less about the streak. I couldn’t all along,” KU coach Bill Self said after Saturday’s 74-63 loss to Texas, KU’s first home loss since a 6966 setback to Texas A&M on Feb. 3, 2007, in Allen Fieldhouse.

“The only game I was really concerned about on the streak was I wanted our team to be the one that had the longest school winning streak several games ago. That’s not something that weighs in my mind.

The media does a good job of talking about that, but that doesn’t mean much to me.”

The previous school-record winning streak was 62 games from 1994-98.

Noted Brady Morningstar, the only Jayhawk player to have experienced another loss in Allen: “It hurts. You don’t like to lose. Obviously we had the streak going. We’re not playing to keep the streak alive. We’re playing to get a win. It happens. You’ve got to bounce back.”

Releford still ailing Self said sophomore Travis Releford (ankle) was available to play in the game, but was only about 80 percent. He is expected to play in Tuesday’s 7 p.m. contest at Colorado.

Technically speaking Technical fouls were called on Jordan Hamilton and J’Covan Brown of Texas and Marcus Morris and Josh Selby of KU. They were apparently for excessive trash-talking.

“To be honest with you, I didn’t think there was one that was deserved,” Self said, “but if you call one, you are going to call something else. I don’t know, but from our standpoint, I don’t think the officials would call something if there wasn’t something said (by players).

“I am not putting it on them (officials) at all, but certainly an emotional game like that, for an official to watch that close on everything that’s being said or exchanged, obviously he (ref Doug Shows) wanted to get control of it (game) and do that.

“I don’t know why Jordan got one. I don’t know why Marcus got one. I don’t know why J’Covan and Josh got those at the end (technical on each for yapping at each other). Gosh dang, I mean, there’s more dialogue with negative with this guy talking to his best friend than some of those things. That’s what they saw so that’s what they called. That didn’t have any impact on the game.”

(But) he goes home ... he doesn’t have a mother anymore. It certainly puts everything in perspective because you are going to wake up three or four days from now, and people will be doing their own things, and the world keeps going on, and that’s the reality he’s going to live with the rest of his life.

“It’s unbelievable,” Self went on. “Stop and think about it. He’s got a 9-year-old sister left in his family, and she’s half the country away and how his life has changed so much overnight. It’s a pretty sad thing. People deal with it all the time, and he’ll deal with it like a man, but still your heart certainly hurts for (him) and his family.”

The scene in Allen Fieldhouse was somber before Saturday’s game.

Angel Morris, mother of the Morris twins, called Robinson out of warm-up drills on the south end of the court to give him a big hug and utter words of encouragement.

Marcus Morris, who scored 16 points and grabbed seven rebounds, wept while standing next to Robinson during a moment of silence in the fieldhouse before the game.

“For anybody to lose their mom ... it’s sad to even say anything because you don’t know what to say,” Morris said. “(He’s a) tough kid. To want to come and be with us and still play today ... he showed a lot of toughness. I hope he’ll be OK and get better.”

Tyrel Reed, who had 17 points off 5-of-9 three-point shooting, spoke with wet eyes in the interview room.

Self called Robinson “a

stud” and said he was amazed he played.

“I think in more times like that, you see teams get off to an emotional good start,” Self said. “We played well, too (early). I felt it was emotional.

I felt like we didn’t have much gas in the tank in the second half, but a lot of it is because of Texas’ play, too (in outscoring KU, 51-28, the second 20 minutes).”

Self said the result “doesn’t take away from the fact we tried today. It doesn’t take away from the fact Texas played well. We were out there, and since we were out there it was our job to perform. Not to perform so much we’ve got to win the game, but to perform a way if your teammate is willing to be out there under these circumstances, the least we could do is everything we can to sacrifice and make sure we did it as well (as Robinson). We did for a while, but certainly didn’t do that late.”

The Jayhawks (18-1, 3-1) will play Colorado at 7 p.m. Tuesday in Boulder.

Self did not know if Robinson would attend.

“Whatever he needs to do, he needs to do. We’re his family, and so I don’t know what that is yet,” Self said. “We’ll get organized this weekend and figure out what would be the best way for us to help him.”

His teammates and coaches — and mothers of players — will be there for him, that’s for sure.

“T-Rob is a strong dude, man,” Taylor said. “We’ve got his back.

“He’ll be all right.”

Marcus: ‘We beat ourself’

By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

The Kansas University men’s basketball players said it was their own subpar effort that led to a 74-63 loss to Texas on Saturday afternoon at Allen Fieldhouse.

“You can’t take anything from them, but I think we beat ourself,” KU forward Marcus Morris said. “I think that’s the only thing that really happened is that we beat ourself out there.”

Leading 35-23 at halftime, the Jayhawks were outscored 51-28 in the second half, making just eight of 30 shots (26.7 percent) after the break.

“I think we just had some mental lapses. I think it was more so us than them,” KU guard Tyshawn Taylor said.

“It was just us missing assignments, not knowing what we were supposed to do, and they capitalized on it. Every time we made a mistake, they scored.”

So what caused the Jayhawks’ poor shooting in the game (23-of-64, 35.9 percent)?

For one, it was the presence of Texas’ 6-foot-8 freshman Tristan Thompson, who registered five blocks and altered many other shots.

UT had nine blocks, equalling the number KU had had blocked in the previous four games combined.

“I think the second half, it was basically we bailed them out by not attacking them,” KU coach Bill Self said. “I thought we played so conservative and passive (in the) second half. Post presence

may be part of it, but also pretty poor play.”

KU’s two starting post players — Marcus and Markieff Morris — combined to make just eight of 24 shots (33.3 percent).

Self also believed the Jayhawks didn’t get the ball into the paint enough.

“They made us a twopoint, jump-shooting team the last half of the first half and the second half,” Self said. “That was our whole deal: Drive it, drive it, drive it, drive it, drive it. And all we did was settle. We’ve got to do a better job.”

Defensively, KU struggled to guard without fouling.

The Longhorns’ 31 free throws were the second-most allowed this season by the Jayhawks. Twenty-three of Texas’ 31 free throws came in the second half.

“That’s something that we really didn’t do as well as they did,” Morris said of getting to the foul line. “They were shooting in the bonus with, like, 13 minutes to go. We’ve definitely got to get better on defense and stick together.”

UT moved to 4-0 in the Big 12, with the Jayhawks a game back at 3-1. Texas A&M is 4-1 in the league.

“We’ve been behind in the league race before, but it puts you in a situation where there’s very little margin for error,” Self said. “I personally think Texas is really good — good enough to win a national championship. I really do. I Richard Gwin/Journal-World Photo think they’re one of the best five teams in the country right KANSAS’ TYREL REED (14) TAKES A CHARGE from Texas’ Dogus Balbay in the second half.

younger sister, whose age Robinson said in October of 2009 was 7 at the time.

They’re all proud of how much he has matured in his time in Lawrence, and they’re all wondering what they can do to try to help him cope.

The world doesn’t stop spinning for anybody, not even someone who has been through as much as Robinson has lately. The game went on, and he decided to play in it.

Feeling more closely bonded than ever, the Jayhawks came out on fire. They aren’t as good as they played in taking an 18-3 lead, and they’re not as bad as they were the rest of the way, when they were outscored, 71-45, when fatigue certainly played a part. Midnight approached when the players learned of Robinson’s loss. Suddenly, getting rest in preparation for the game didn’t seem so important. Nobody from Kansas used that as excuse for limping to the finish line in their first loss, but undeniable it played a part.

Texas coach Rick Barnes opened his postgame remarks referring to the tragedy.

“First of all, I’d really like to offer our condolences to Thomas Robinson and his family,” Barnes said. “I can’t even imagine the burden and the weight that was on his shoulders today. And as a team, when you have a team and a player loses his mom, it affects everybody, and I’m sure it’s weighed really heavily on Bill (Self).

I’m sure he’s had a really tough time. You only have one mom. My condolences go out to (Robinson) and his family.”

easily the best team Kansas has faced, wouldn’t have won if tragedy had not gripped the team.

From a purely basketball standpoint, the biggest difference between the two best teams in the Big 12 proved pivotal in swinging things in the Longhorns’ favor. Texas has a shot-blocker, and a darned good one, in freshman center Tristan Thompson, and KU does not have one. The last shot-blocker the Jayhawks had, Cole Aldrich, is playing for the Tulsa 66ers in the NBA DLeague, after getting selected by the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The absence of a shotblocker means a Kansas perimeter player doesn’t have a safety net when his

man blows by him. It also means the help defense supplied on the interior isn’t delivered with the sort of authority that makes shooters hurry.

That’s what Thompson does for Texas. Barnes called Thompson’s five blocked shots the most significant statistic in the game. Self spoke to the way he altered shots.

“He just controlled the paint,” Self said. “I thought there were some times where we flinched or double-clutched and that kind of stuff. We told our guys, ‘He’s going to jump, try to lift him,’ and that didn’t really happen much. He’s good. He’s a good freshman. They’ve got two good freshmen, but he’s outstanding.”

The other good freshman, point guard Cory Joseph, looked like a much more polished basketball player than KU’s top freshman, Josh Selby. Self has a puzzle facing him in how to get the most out of Selby. The answer might lie in letting him play on the ball more, so that he can get more comfortable handling it against skilled defenders, grow more confident, and develop to the point he can break down defenses and set up teammates for buckets.

The coaches and players won’t waste any time getting back to work trying to get better, but there is no way around the reality that they’ll be doing so with heavy hearts.

50 Phantom s haunt, on

Salute our veterans with valentines Dear Annie: Over the years, your readers have opened their hearts to America’s veterans by participating in the National Salute to Veteran Patients each February. This past year, more than 300,000 valentines were received at VA medical centers, and 15,252 visitors visited more than 45,000 veteran patients.

This program encourages readers to visit and volunteer at our Department of Veterans Affairs hospitals and to send letters of thanks to those who have protected our nation. As I saw personally during our 2010 Salute, our veterans always appreciate this heartfelt acknowledgement of their service.

An outstanding VA staff of 239,000 and 85,000 volunteers at our 1,400 sites provide care and support to our veterans with the state-of-the-art health care they earned defending our great nation.

VA is projected to treat 6.1 million patients in 2011 — equivalent to the populations of Los Angeles and Chicago combined. Those 6.1 million veterans, including 439,000 veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan, will make 83 million outpatient visits and be treated as inpatients 937,000 times.

This year’s National Salute to Veteran Patients will take place February 13-19, 2011. Getting involved is easy! You can

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@creators.com

find all the information you need to deliver a valentine or get additional volunteer information at VA’s Volunteer Service webpage www.volunteer.va.gov. From this site, you can generate an e-mail to your local VA Volunteer Service and find out if they can use valentines or other items.

I am personally committed to ensuring our nation’s veterans receive the exceptional care and respect they deserve.

We have a sacred trust for those who have worn the uniform of the United States of America. Many of our facilities are planning special events during the week and would be pleased to arrange a visit. Once again, thank you, Annie, for your support of this outstanding program. — L. Tammy Duckworth, Assistant Secretary for Public and Intergovernmental Affairs, Department of Veterans Affairs

NFL, MLB moving in opposite directions The New York Jets and Pittsburgh Steelers fight for the AFC Championships (6 p.m., CBS) and the audience promises to be huge. Last week’s game between the Jets and Patriots attracted more than 43 million viewers. By comparison, the fifth and final game of the 2010 World Series between the Texas Rangers and San Francisco Giants drew around 14.3 million.

Why does an NFL playoff game attract nearly three times as many viewers as the most important game of the World Series?

On a very basic level, there are simply fewer football games and each one has much more importance. But it’s impossible to deny that the NFL has eclipsed Major League Baseball in many ways.

Some may argue that — for better or worse — the gladiatorial nature of football is a better symbol of our society. Or that baseball’s bucolic “Field of Dreams” no longer appeals to a coarsened culture. The late comic George Carlin had a routine contrasting football and baseball. One is contested in a huge arena and involves the relentless invasion of an opponent’s territory in the violent pursuit of a score. The other is played on a diamond in a park, where the principle objective is to arrive safely at home.

But in the decades since 1975, when Carlin performed that bit on the very first episode of “Saturday Night Live,” baseball and football have moved in opposite directions. However “gentle” the sport, baseball better reflects the winner-take-all nature of American business culture. The New York Yankees have a payroll greater than the sum of several other teams. Some individual players have salaries approaching the entire payroll of rival teams. As a result, some organizations, most notably the Pittsburgh Pirates, have had difficulty fielding winning teams. The Pirates have not been real contenders for decades. Too often in baseball — as in much of life on television — if you’re not rich, you don’t matter.

In contrast, NFL teams operate under a salary cap, a notion that late New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner castigated as “socialism.” The cap has created a parity among NFL teams that has allowed the Pittsburgh Steelers, from the small city as the Pirates, to have won six Super Bowl championships since 1970 and appear in many more League championship games.

The Jets, from America’s largest media market, have not appeared in a Super Bowl since the end of the 1968 season.

The record of the New York Yankees shows that you can’t buy a World Series ring every year. But the disparity between rich baseball teams and poor ones has taken its toll on the game and its audience.

Ask some fans to spend decades between meaningful seasons and you will lose them. (OK, this doesn’t apply to Cubs fans, but that’s another matter.)

Tonight’s other highlights ● Mary’s sister Edith senses her vulnerability and makes her move on part three of four of “Downton Abby” on “Masterpiece Classic” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings). ● Bill arranges a meeting of polygamists on “Big Love” (8 p.m., HBO).

Dear Secretar y Duckworth: Every year, our readers make us proud with their outpouring of appreciation for our veterans through the Valentines for Vets program.

We know they will come through again. Sending a valentine or, better yet, visiting our veterans or volunteering at one of the VA medical facilities is a wonderful way to express gratitude to those who have served our country.

The veterans would be especially thrilled if you could spend a few minutes visiting and talking about their families and hometowns. Tell

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Sunday, Jan. 23: This year, others discover your empathy and understanding. Oddly enough, by detaching from your issues and triggers, you can walk in another's footsteps. If single, you could meet a very exotic stranger. If attached, the two of you gain from special time away together.

Scorpio makes demands.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You'll Have: 5Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) ★★★ Clear out a project, or spend time with a friend or loved one. Play cards, Battleship or another favorite game. Tonight: Dinner with friends.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ★★★★★ Don't curb your innate sense of mirth and playfulness. A child and you have quite a time together. This bonding could be more important than you are aware of.

Tonight: Go with a change of plans.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ★★★★ Some of you could spend the day yakking on the phone or reading a book. Others want to listen to some

jacquelinebigar.com

music. Relax your mind, but also your body.

Tonight: Out again.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ★★★★ You speak your mind, and as a result, you could experience an unanticipated reaction. Do sit down and rethink your words. Tonight: Mellow out at home.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★★ Whether you are balancing your checkbook or getting ready to take a stab at your taxes, you are deep in thought about what you offer.

Tonight: Catching up on a friend's news.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★★★ Make plans that suit you. For once, stop the perpetual giving, and take a little. When was the last time you doted on you? You do not need to share this indulgent moment, but then, you just might. Tonight: Indulge, but in moderation.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★ If you need some time off, use today. You might want to pursue a hobby or go off by yourself.

Tonight: Feeling much better.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★★ Join friends.

Whether at a game, watching a movie or brunch, the camaraderie means a lot. A

loved one surprises you with a declaration. Tonight: Winding down.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21) ★★★ You appear as expected. A discussion proves worthwhile, but the end results might not be what you'd visualized.

Tonight: Just when you are having fun, you realize that tomorrow is Monday.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★★ Don't just talk about a picnic or a day outing; do it. A change of scenery adds to your sense of detente. Tonight: Head home, only if you must.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★★ Think about someone at a distance.

Isn't it about time that the two of you got together?

What is holding you back?

Tonight: Think Monday.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★★★ Relate directly to a friend. Stop listening to what other people say.

When you go to the source, you might find the story very different.

Tonight: Only where there is music and a little time to dream.

NFL PLAYOFFS

KU’s Gill thrilled for RB Starks

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Most Sundays, Kansas University football coach Turner Gill chooses to spend his time recruiting and with family, not always in that order.

Today, though, when the NFL’s conference championship games begin at 2 p.m., Gill will attempt to squeeze one more thing into his day.

The reason? One of Gill’s former players, running back James Starks, figures to play some kind of role in determining whether Green Bay, the sixth seed in the NFC, will advance to its first Super Bowl since 1997.

Starks, a 6-foot-2, 218pound rookie from the University of Buffalo, has taken the long road to his current status as a starter on an NFL club making a deep run in the playoffs. He missed his senior season at Buffalo because of a shoulder injury and sat out the first 12 weeks of this season with a leg injury. Through the waiting, Gill kept in contact with Starks and remained convinced that his former running back would make some noise in the NFL. “I just knew he needed an opportunity,” Gill said. “No. 1, he’s competitive. No. 2, he has God-given ability, he can run.

He has great size, he has toughness, and he thrives on being the best.”

Already at Buffalo when Gill arrived, Starks spent his first year of college playing cornerback. When Gill took over, he met with his players and asked them where they’d like to play. He did the same thing at Kansas. Starks’ answer helped shape his future.

“He said, ‘I want to play on the offensive side; I played quarterback in high school,’” Gill recalled. “So we looked at his tape, and I told him, ‘You’re definitely gonna play on offense, and we’re gonna start you at quarterback.

When you come into spring ball, we’ll see what happens.’

After about three days, I realized he wasn’t quite the quarterback, but he could definitely run the football. So we switched him to running back, and I guess the rest is history.”

Starks finished his college career with 3,140 yards and 40

announced that as part of an effort to reduce the state budget, he’d be making cuts to the commission, which funds arts and arts organizations around the state through a series of grants.

Moreover, the commission would become a privately funded nonprofit “in response to the current demands on the state general fund,” Brownback’s budget states.

His budget would give the commission $200,000 at the beginning of the fiscal year, July 1, to help with the transition before cutting off state money altogether. The move would save $574,642 “and will encourage the organization in maximizing its fee and private sector revenue, as well as increase the organization’s commitment to seeking all available federal

and foundation funds,” the budget says.

But, doing so would cost the state a lot more than it saves, says Llewellyn Crain, executive director for the commission. She explains that the state would also lose federal funds if it lost its arts commission. Moreover, as a private entity, the commission would be comPlease see GOVERNOR'S, page 2C

Behind the Lens: Slow-sync setting may alleviate flash problems

By Mike Yoder myoder@ljworld.com

A former Journal-World colleague recently told me she’d purchased a camera I had mentioned in this column. Some early results, when using the camera’s built-in flash, had been disappointing. According to her and her husband, the flash washed-out the subject, ruining images. I felt somewhat responsible since I had touted the camera as having some unique features. Many improvements and features have been added to cameras, but not a lot of advances have been made in the quality of built-in flashes on consumer point-and-shoot cameras. It’s difficult for me to determine the exact prob-

lem in a situation like hers without accessing the same camera and being in the same situation or environment the photo was taken.

However, assuming the camera was operating correctly, I’ll list some inherent problems and possible solutions with these types of flashes.

On the majority of pointand-shoot consumer cameras, the built-in flash is located near the lens and aimed straight ahead. You can’t redirect or easily diffuse the light. This alone creates an unpleasant, unflattering light and is one reason I prefer people avoid using it if at all possible.

Turning on your flash on your camera also automatically sets a shutter-speed to

sync with the flash. This may be as slow as 1/60 of a second or as fast as up to 1/200 of a second. These shutter-speeds may be too fast to allow ambient light to influence the exposure.

So while the flash will certainly illuminate a foreground subject, the background, minus all ambient light, will tend to look darker. In addition, the direct flash will cast a shadow on everything behind the subject. These elements can lead to flashlit subjects that appear washed-out and possibly overexposed.

One solution is to find the “slow-sync” setting available on most cameras. Some cameras may show this as a “party” or “night” mode.

Slow sync instructs the camera to select a shutter speed appropriate for an exposure that is determined by the amount of ambient light and the flash together.

This can result in a much more pleasing and natural appearing image. Keep in mind that if there is very little ambient light to start with, your shutter speed may be longer than you can hold the camera steady.

While this can result in some blurring or “ghosting” in your image, it can make for more interesting and better illuminated photos than the typical “deer-inthe-headlights” flash-only shots.

— Chief photographer Mike Yoder can be reached at 832-7141.

Mike Yoder/Journal-World File Photo

AT A REPUBLICAN RALLY Nov. 2, 2010, I used a flash in a dark conference room. To allow ambient light to influence my exposure, I selected a slow 1/30 shutter-speed. Most point-and-shoot cameras will do something similar with a flash setting called “slow-sync.” Notice how this technique caused blurring in the woman’s hand at right from the two light sources.

Governor’s proposed cuts would affect arts in Lawrence CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

peting for donations against the organizations it helps just to stay afloat.

“We don’t know what the National Endowment for the Arts would do in terms of providing us with funds.

They may choose to not fund us at all because they require that the state make a financial commitment that’s equal to the amount of money they provide,” says Crain, who notes that Kansas would be the first state to cut all funds to its state arts agency. “So our federal funds would either be severely diminished or would disappear entirely.”

And the city of Lawrence would lose out quite a bit, too. This fiscal year, 16 artists and art groups benefited from small grants obtained through the commission. Groups such as Van Go Mobile Arts, the Lied Center, The Lawrence Community Theatre (Theatre Lawrence), the Lawrence Children’s Choir, the Americana Music Academy, the Lawrence Chamber Orchestra and the Lawrence Art Guild. Each of the individual grants average out to be about $4,500, though most amount to much less, but it’s money well-spent, says Mary Doveton, executive director of the Theatre Lawrence.

“While, in the great scheme of things, it isn’t an enormous amount of money, it does enable us to do very significant things within the community, particularly for the kids,” says Doveton, who says much of the money goes directly to the group’s “School’s Out, Theater’s In” program and other youth educational programs.

In fact, children will be most severely affected by the lack of funding, many local sources say, because many of the grants are specifically requested as funds that go to education.

A little more than half of the funds Lawrence received this fiscal year — $61,840 — were specifically earmarked for education.

Also, provide information — packets, fliers — that tell them about any arts group with which you’re

Globe Theatre to stage Shakespeare in 38 languages

By Cassandra Vinograd Associated Press

LONDON — Shakespeare said all the world’s a stage. Next spring, all the world will be on stage at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre.

The theater is planning a six-week run of the bard’s 38 works — to be performed in 38 languages by troupes from around the world.

The theater says the project will celebrate the London 2012 Olympic games and mark the first time all Shakespeare’s plays will be performed in one season.

“Titus Andronicus” in Cantonese, a Shona version of “The Two Gentleman of Verona” and an Urdu performance of “The Taming of the Shrew” are all expected to take the stage when the season kicks off on April 23, 2012 — the bard’s birthday.

The project will build an international community around the playwright’s word, which have long transcended the stage, said the Globe’s artistic director.

“Shakespeare, as well as a great playwright, has become an international language, and has proved one of the most life-affirming and barrier-transcending ways that people can speak to one another,” Dominic Dromgoole said. “His plays have been translated into every major living language and there is a long tradition of Shakespeare performances around the world in people’s own vernacular.”

The program will create an international Shakespeare community in London as “a prelude to the internationalism, which will fill the capital

It will not be the first time the Globe has welcomed Shakespeare in translation.

The Zulu “Macbeth” and Grupo Galpao’s “Romeo and Juliet” from Brazil have previously taken the famed stage.

The Globe also said Friday it will build an indoor Jacobean theater to seat

around 320 people. The design will be based on plans of a small 17th century indoor theater, similar in shape and design to the Blackfriars Theatre where Shakespeare’s King’s Men acting company performed.

The Globe opened in 1997 after more than 27 years planning and four years’ construction.

just for the children, Crain points out. She says that many adult artists come to Lawrence specifically to train, and then bring their art to other parts of the state. “(Lawrence is) known for its arts, and it’s known for its music. And for Kansas to then say, ‘Well, sorry,’ doesn’t recognize the value that a community like

Lawrence brings to our state,” Crain says. “For the state not to invest in that, (it) would not only have a negative impact on your community, but also have a negative impact on the state as a whole.”

The negative impact also might affect other businesses in Lawrence from what Doveton calls the “trickle down effect.” For example, if

someone buys a ticket to see a Theatre Lawrence production, he or she might go out to dinner beforehand, or get ice cream or drinks afterward, meaning other local businesses will lose out, too. Also, the show in question might have sets built with lumber or decorated with paint bought directly from a locally owned hardware store, meaning more money missing from the local economy.

A 2007 study by Americans for the Arts found that statewide, nonprofit arts and culture organizations and their audiences spent more than $153.5 million.

The commission grants aren’t the only source of income for these arts entities, but it’s important, consistent money that makes a difference, says Lynne Green, executive director of Van Go Mobile Arts. She says that the $15,286 Van Go received from the commission this year is money that’s expected and needed to support the program, which serves at-risk children. And what’s most infuriating to her is that while she won’t be able to help as many children without the money, the state won’t be saving but pennies in the scheme of a proposed $13.9 billion budget.

“It’s nothing. It’s nothing.

You know? That’s what’s so ridiculous. What it becomes, from my perspective then, is it’s just symbolic,” Green says. “A culture, a city, a citizenry without its art is a very pathetic citizenry. People need art for their soul.”

Why he killed Pluto Astronomer’s book explores reasons behind planetary demotion; plus, a new ‘history’ of the moon

By Nick Owchar Los Angeles Times

Pluto. Poor little guy. He never wanted much. The others could be bigger, they could be better-looking or brag about themselves (”I’m burning hot!” or “I have rings!” or “I support life!”).

He didn’t care. All he wanted was to be part of the planet club. And for about 75 years, that tiny frozen world billions of miles from the sun was a card-carrying member.

Then, in 2006, Pluto was kicked out — reclassified as a dwarf planet.

The credit — or, for the outraged nine-planet fans, the blame — goes to the William McCaley, International Astronomical photographer, Union. It also goes to Caltech Lawrence astronomer Mike Brown, “HDR photography books. who just couldn’t help findThere’s not one specific book, ing other tantalizing objects but kind of the whole subject at the edges of the solar sysfor me. I do it to improve my tem that challenged Pluto’s personal use of cameras.” planetary status.

“I would hear from many people who were sad about Pluto,” Brown writes in “How I Killed Pluto: And Why It Had It Coming.” “And I understood. Pluto was part of their mental landscape, the one they had constructed to organize their thinking about the solar system and their own place within it.”

Brown’s book brims with humor and charm as he describes the thrill of the Judith Brawley, hunt that compensates for all retired, the drudge work involved in Lawrence astronomy. “’Third World America’ by Sure, he says, there’s cerArianna Huffington. It’s about how corrupt our government tainly more ease today than is and how until government in the 1930s when Clyde changes or people are so fed Tombaugh, a Kansas Univerup with government nothing sity alumnus, found Pluto.

There are also plenty of long, tedious nights and a frustrating application process to use the mightiest telescopes on the ground and the Hubble Space Telescope overhead to confirm calculations.

ASTRONOMER MIKE BROWN’S “How I Killed Pluto: And Why It Had It Coming” explores not only the demotion of the “ninth planet,” but also the political and personal side of astronomy. BELOW: The discoverer of Pluto, KU alumnus Clyde Tombaugh, with a telescope at KU.

guide, acknowledging the work of his colleagues — Chadwick Trujillo and David Rabinowitz — and also his readers’ limitations, using language that’s clear and simple. He includes touching glimpses of his marriage and the birth of his daughter that act as a nice counterpoint to the galactic story he’s telling (during his courtship of his wife, Brown says, the many “no’s” he experienced during the hunt were balanced by her “yes” to his proposal).

Don’t assume, however, that the astronomy business is pure romance. Hardly.

There’s plenty of professional jealousy and dishonesty: Brown describes how a Spanish scientist might have stolen the claim to one of his team’s discoveries if there hadn’t been a computer trail showing that he was spying on the telescope positions of Brown’s team. He also recounts the tortured collective decision-making of the IAU, during its 2006 meeting, when it first proposed revising the solar system to include 12 planets — adding, along with Brown’s discovery of Eris (a distant body slightly larger than Pluto), the asteroid Ceres and Pluto’s moon Charon — and then

created a dwarf planet category instead.

Brown had much to gain by the former idea — how cool is it to have “planet discoverer” on your CV? — but he says he was pleased by the IAU’s decision because it “put a scientific foundation behind what most people think they mean when they say the word ‘planet.”’

After Pluto’s demotion, you may recall, one group wasn’t pleased: astrologers.

They got over it, though, and Pluto’s still very important today in the making of horoscopes. And, for $12, you can still buy a glow-in-the-dark, hanging mobile of the solar system for your kids that features the sun and nine planets.

But scientists like Brown can’t go along with fortunetellers or toymakers for a reason that’s unavoidable: the Kuiper belt. Out there, starting around the orbit of Neptune, are “vast numbers of small icy objects (that) circle the sun in cold storage” that are leftovers from the creation of the solar system. Pluto — along with Eris and other objects — are more rightly members of the Kuiper club, named for the astronomer who speculated about the belt’s existence, Gerard Kuiper.

Brown’s book is exhilarating for a simple reason: He directs our attention at something we never think about.

The same is true of Bernd Brunner’s “Moon: A Brief History,” which helps us to regain our appreciation for something right under our noses — actually, right above them.

What is the moon? Where did it come from? Brunner turns for an answer to the materials out of which the planets (and the Kuiper belt) were made. One popular theory is that, at some point in the solar system’s infancy, another planet called Theia slammed into the Earth, annihilating itself and tearing off a piece of the Earth that formed into our planet’s satellite.

Brunner’s book is about much more than such a theory, however, and provides a nimble, fast-moving survey of the silvery moon’s impact upon us and our world. Brunner looks at the moon’s influence upon tides, of course, and also its place in early psychology, the occult, popular culture and as a necessary first step on humanity’s journey to Mars.

As wondrous as the moon or the Kuiper belt may be, though, what Brunner and Brown remind us is that the mind is even more wondrous for comprehending them. It was the ancient Hindus, Brunner writes, who celebrated the reach of human thought in their sacred text the “Rig-Veda,” declaring: “O Moon!/ We should be able to know you through our intellect,/ You enlighten us through the right path.”

Novelist looks at life in a newsroom

Emily Hill, private wealth management, Lawrence “’Ironweed’ by William Kennedy. It’s about four days in the life of a homeless man and his struggle with the past.”

Novelist Tom Rachman read The Washington Post this morning in his hotel, but he admits that when he’s at home in London, he peruses newspapers online. Still, he worries about that tendency.

“I was just thinking something is lost; it’s not the same thing,” says the author of “The Imperfectionists” (Dial, $15 in paper), a comic novel about a failing English-language newspaper in Rome and the reporters, editors and executives who work (and bicker and battle and manhandle grammar) there.

“I am reminded of that when I spend a morning reading a paper. You find things you’re never going to look into yourself. Today I read a disturbing story about murders in Delaware. I never would have clicked on the link online, but in the paper I encountered something extraordinary. On a broader scale that was always the role of the paper.”

Rachman worked in Rome as an Associated Press correspondent and as an editor at the International Herald Tri-

bune in Paris. His first professional story as a United Press International freelancer — about a Cuban dissident who ended up in Canada — ran in The Miami Herald.

“It’s a pretty fascinating landscape,” Rachman says of the news biz, of which he is no longer a part. “It does draw all sorts of fascinating characters.

The portrayals of journalists lean to one pole or the other. They’re either noble heroes, or they are utterly morally bankrupt corrupt power seekers. In my experience it’s a sometimes rich, sometimes bitter, sometimes funny place to work. It’s a marvelous cauldron to swirl odd characters.”

The journalists who populate “The Imperfectionists” are wide-ranging in age, talent and ambition. Lloyd Burko, the pathetic, aging stringer in Paris, lies about owning a computer and faxes his stories to editors who don’t want them. Copy editor

Ruby Zaga hates her job until she fears she may lose it.

Winston Cheung, a colossally inexperienced stringer, finds himself stuck in Cairo with a bullying blowhard of a correspondent who tramples all over his attempts to find a story. Arthur Gopal, the obituary writer, merely wants to do as little work as possible — until tragedy transforms his life.

Each chapter could stand alone as a story, but threaded together they form a satiric and often moving portrait of a the industry.

Journalists and those outside the business respond differently to the characters, Rachman says. “Non-journalists are affected by stories like the Arthur Gopal story; he’s somebody who has very little interest in the news world. ... The characters who resonate with journalists are under deadline pressure, like Lloyd. Quite a few journalists come up to me and say, ’I

hope I don’t turn out like that guy.’

Asked what he liked about working in journalism: “What I loved about it was the opportunity to enter into cultures and places and scenes I would never have had access to otherwise. I don’t mean attending the Venice Film Festival. I mean traveling to Turkey and having a local fixer show you back alleys where people are selling counterfeit goods. ... I loved the opportunity to see different parts of the world, and I loved being able to play with the writing, even though there were limitations that were frustrating due to the nature of the stuff I was doing at the AP.” What he didn’t like: “I didn’t like the fact that one was compelled to be processing almost like a factory.

There were very disturbing situations going on, and there was no way to turn that into copy without turning off the human part and thinking, ‘Please give me a good quote.’

It’s dehumanizing. It’s inevitable, whether you’re a surgeon or reporter, you have to turn off the human side to function.”

ARTS NOTES Langston Hughes winners announced The Lawrence Arts Center and the Raven Book Store are pleased to announce the winners of the 15th Annual Langston Hughes Creative Writing Awards. Beth Reiber is the fiction winner, and Mary Stone Dockery is the poetry winner.

Reiber has been a freelance travel writer for more than 30 years and is author of several Frommer’s guides to Berlin, Tokyo and other locations. She has also been published in National Geographic Traveler, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times and other national publications.

Dockerey graduated from Missouri Western State University in 2009 with a Bachelor of Arts in English literature.

Her work has appeared in Spring Formal, North Central Review, Flint Hills Review, Touchstone and FutureCYcle Poetry, among others. She is currently a Master of Fine Arts student at KU, studying poetry.

The award ceremony will be 7 p.m. Feb. 1 at the arts center, 940 N.H. It will include readings, music and refreshments, and is open to the public.

West Side Folk presents Small Potatoes Chicago-based duo Jacquie Manning and Rich Prezioso have been touring on the folk circuit since 1993, and in that time they’ve become soughtafter regulars at many clubs and coffeehouses across the U.S. They have made repeat appearances at major folk festivals, including the Kerrville Folk Festival, the Walnut Valley Folk Festival and Philadelphia Folk Festival.

Small Potatoes call themselves eclecto-maniacs. They describe their music as “Celtic to Cowboy” and say it has taken them “years of careful indecision” to come up with a mix of music that ranges from country, blues and swing to Irish, with songwriting that touches on all of those styles and more. Dirty Linen Magazine called them “one of the most polished, inventive, and entertaining shows on the circuit.” Sing Out Magazine called them “wonderfully eclectic” and said, “Small Potatoes might well be leading mainstays on the folk scene for years to come.”

Small Potatoes perform at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 4 at Unity Church of Lawrence, 900 Madeline. For tickets and information, visit www.westsidefolk.org.

LOLA plans annual Valentine show The Ladies of Lawrence Artwork cooperative will start their seventh year of local art shows with a one-day arts and crafts sale from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Feb. 6 at Greenroom Salon, 924 1/2 Mass.

Nine area artists will feature items ranging from jewelry, accessories, housewares, stationery and soaps, all with the Valentine’s Day shopper in mind.

The women are also celebrating the debut of a new web site at LadiesofLawrence.com. Leading up to the show, LOLA organizers have arranged an online contest with giveaways from the artists. To sign up, go to the website and answer this question: “Have you ever bought a gift at a LOLA show or gotten a gift from a LOLA lady? What did you get and why do you love it?” The winner will be announced Feb. 1.

‘Puss in Boots’ coming to arts center The Lawrence Arts Center’s Arts-Based Preschool welcomes Paul Mesner Puppets back this year to perform the classic story of “Puss in Boots” on Saturday with two performances at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m.

As the story goes, an old miller divides his property among his sons, leaving the youngest son with nothing but an old cat. The cat promises the miller’s son riches in exchange for a pair of boots.

With this new feline footwear, the cat leads his master on a rollicking adventure. The performance is suited for children ages 3 and older.

Mesner has become a fixture in the Kansas City theater

and arts scene, and in the national community of puppeteers. He produces a full season in Kansas City and presents shows in schools, community centers, festivals and theaters to more than 100,000 children and adults annually.

Tickets are $5.50 and are available at the arts center, 940 N.H., 843-2787. Proceeds benefit the Arts-Based Preschool scholarship fund at the Lawrence Arts Center.

Louis Copt to give artist talk Louis Copt, one of five Kansans named as recipients of the 2011 Governor’s Arts Awards, will discuss his working methods, materials used and philosophy in choosing subject matter during a painting demonstration at 6:30 p.m.

Thursday in the Central Court of the Spencer Museum of Art. “I’ll be painting an oil on canvas landscape,” Copt says. “I just basically want to have a conversation with people so they have an opportunity to see a painting in progress. A lot of times the only time people see finished art is in a gallery or museum, and they never see the process. So with the demonstration, I hope to bring them into the process so they can witness the thought process, materials, and methods that go into making a new work. It should be fun.”

Copt is perhaps best known for landscape paintings of the Flint Hills. He is a graduate of Emporia State University.

The free event is open to the public.

Arts center casting for ‘The Music Man’ The Lawrence Arts Center Theater will present “The Music Man” from March 31 to April 8.

Auditions will be at 2 p.m., 3 p.m. or 4 p.m. today with callbacks from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Monday and Tuesday.

The principal roles to be cast include con artist Harold Hill, Marian the Librarian, Marian’s mother (Widow Paroo) and brother, Winthrop (age 9-12), Mayor Shinn and his wife Eulalie, a barbershop quartet, the ladies of the town, several teenagers, including the mayor’s daughter, Zaneeta, and her boyfriend, Tommy, as well as 8-12 kids who join the band and 4-8 teenagers who dance at the social.

There are approximately 30 roles with speaking lines and/or solos. Between 50 and 60 people will be cast, including 20-24 children.

Those who auditioned in the fall at the general auditions do not need to prepare a monologue. Everyone should bring 16 bars of a Broadway song.

Monologues should be under 2 minutes.

For more information, call 843-2787.

Rehearsals to start for Baker choir Baldwin City— The Baker University Community Choir will begin rehearsals for another season at 6 p.m. Thursday at McKibbin Recital Hall in the Owens Music Building on the Baldwin City campus.

The choir, open to all ages and talent levels, will be preparing for a spring concert, set for 7:30 p.m. May 1 at the Baldwin First United Methodist Church.

For more information, contact director Matthew Potterton, assistant professor of music and director of choral activities at Baker, at mpotterton@bakeru.edu or (785) 5944504.

KU Opera production receives honor The KU Opera’s 2010 production of “The Sorrows of Young Werther” received honorable mention from the National Opera Association’s Production Competition for 2009-2010. “Werther” ran in January 2010, led by KU Opera stage director Kathleen Belcher and musical director Mark Ferrell.

The goal of the NOA’s production competition is to reward high-quality opera productions in opera training programs and small professional opera companies. Awards were presented at the NOA conference in San Antonio on Jan. 9.

Decor comes with a British vibe

By Kim Cook For The Associated Press

Goodbye, Paris. Hello, London! While the French capital’s been dear to home decorators for several years, we’re seeing the look of London more and more in the newest furnishings and accessories.

Is it fleur de lis fatigue? Too many Eiffel Towers? Perhaps.

As designer Mei Xu notes, “London blends charm and cheekiness, traditions and trends.”

And it doesn’t hurt to have a royal wedding just around the corner.

Xu’s Bliss Living Home has introduced an extensive collection inspired by things British. “To me, London’s simply irresistible,” she says.

“It’s such a vibrant city, where the past and present merge.”

She remembers a visit by Margaret Thatcher to her childhood school in China.

The Prime Minister gave the students a large book about the wedding of Charles and Diana. For Xu, it revealed an exciting and glamorous world, and it inspired her creative career.

Her collection’s color palette uses white and charcoal, hues associated with London’s often damp weather, and a soft mint green that seems to blend the sea and the forest.

There are candles shaped like Big Ben; pillows showing double-decker buses and classic phone booths; printed bedding with the London Bridge; and blankets, rugs and shower curtains with an oversize hounds-tooth pattern and riding-set vibe.

Metallic inks etch crowns on pillows, table linens and tea sets.

Jonathan Adler is a fan of the Union Jack flag, and emblazons it on handloomed llama-wool dog beds, rugs, pillows, coasters, even paperweights.

Stickerbrand has a 6-foot wall decal of Big Ben, London’s famous clock, and American Chateau has a large decal of a city intersection in the heart of London.

The bright red London phone booth, one of the city’s historic trademarks, was retired many years ago.

Replicas are available, in the $1,000 range. But for a few dollars, you can create the illusion of one with a doorsize poster from Poster Revolution.

Doctor Who fans might like Artfire’s wall decal of the Tardis police phone booth.

Metrosofa has a white, throne-style chair featuring the flag upholstered on the back; it’s much smarter looking that it sounds, honestly.

And finally, Naked Decor uses vibrant colors like navy, sky blue, scarlet and inky black to transform several icons — the Union Jack, Tower of London, even the Queen’s silhouette and the keys to Buckingham Palace — into clocks, pillows and other accessories. The collection is called British Invasion.

FILLING A LARGE VOID Just because there is a large amount of available space does not necessarily mean that it should be filled with cabinetry.

The trick to designing a large kitchen is preserving its spacious look, especially if it is part of an open plan.

Preserving the expansive feel of a large kitchen begins with the inclusion of a lot of windows and a minimum of overhead cabinets. It also helps to place large storage items, like the refrigerator and the pantry, at the end of the kitchen that is most remote from living spaces. For example, a tall pantry cabinet can abut the refrigerator. The cabinets closest to the living space in an open floor plan can be dressier.

Every space, large or small, is unique and when it comes to kitchens, one size does NOT fit all. That’s why you need an experienced kitchen designer to craft a layout that takes advantage of your home’s space, no matter the size.

THIS WINDBREAK includes dead Scotch pines and living Austrian pines. Austrian pines are susceptible to pine wilt, too, but are more resistant to the disease. The Austrian pine in this situation is likely to die.

Pine diseases still plaguing area trees O

ne of my most exciting experiences as a County Extension Agent was the day a pine sawyer beetle emerged from a Scotch pine log in my office.

The pine sawyer beetle is unrelated to the mountain pine bark beetle that is causing problems in the western United States. Pine sawyer beetles are, however, partially responsible for much of the pine death in the Midwest.

Capturing the pine sawyer was exciting because the beetles are otherwise rarely seen.

Pine sawyer beetles spend much of their life as larvae feeding deep in the wood of standing pine trees. They emerge only to mate, feed and lay eggs to continue the cycle.

Pine sawyer beetles also allow pinewood nematodes to hitchhike in their tracheas when they fly to new trees.

Pinewood nematodes are the

Garden Calendar

Jennifer Smith smithjen@ksu.edu guys you really have to worry about. When pinewood nematodes get into the sapwood of the right kind of pine, they reproduce rapidly and can kill the tree in a few short months.

Although even I find it hard to imagine how worm-like organisms only one millimeter in length could kill a majestic old pine, it is true.

If you have a dead pine tree on your property, cut it down.

Get rid of the beetle and nematode-infested wood by burning, burying or chipping it. Get rid of the wood by the beginning of March to lessen the spread of pine wilt. Dead pines are likely full of nematodes and pine sawyer beetles that will emerge this spring and carry the disease on to more trees.

Mulch made from infected pines is considered safe to use because pine sawyer beetles do not feed on the mulch and are typically destroyed in the mulching process.

A few years ago, a few products containing the active ingredient abamectin were labeled for preventative treatment of pine wilt. The products must be injected into the tree by a licensed applicator on an annual basis, are pricey, and offer no guarantees.

More recently, a product known as Organic Disease Control or ODC has been

advertised for control of pine problems. Most importantly, this product is promoted for control of the mountain pine bark beetle rather than the pine sawyer beetle that is a problem in this area. Also, according to Kansas State University entomologist Raymond Cloyd, there is no quantitative scientific information supporting the claims of the ODC product.

Although Scotch pine are the most likely to die from pine wilt, the disease also kills Austrian pines and the nematodes have been identified in other pine species. Austrian pine also has problems with fungi that attack its needles and shoots.

Many resources on pine wilt suggest that native pine species are usually resistant. Since Kansas is the only one of the 48 contiguous states without a native pine, our options are limited. White pine and limber pine (commonly sold as “Van-

derwolf”) show resistance but still may suffer some stress from Kansas weather and soil.

My suggestion if you really want an evergreen is to use eastern redcedar or upright juniper varieties. Baldcypress is a disease-free tree with a pineish look that drops its needles in the winter. Some large shrubs, including several species of viburnums are also suitable for windbreaks and screens. A few varieties of viburnums hold their leaves over the winter as well.

In case you are wondering, I burned my nematode-infested pine log. I really only wanted it because it also had a canker.

The pine sawyer beetle is safely preserved for showand-tell.

KOVEL’S ANTIQUES

‘Whatsits’ continue to confound and entertain collectors

By Terry Kovel

Unfamiliar objects used by our ancestors continue to confuse and amuse today’s collectors. “Whatsits” were a popular subject on television shows. We identified buggy-whip holders, eyeglasses for chickens to prevent them from pecking each other, even a springloaded candle that was attached to a clock and lit the fireplace each morning.

Most unidentified whatsits were made for kitchen or farm use. One item that came in many shapes was the chicken waterer, still used today in a modern form. Early examples look like glass jars turned upside

down over a shallow bowl of water, a sort of fountain for barnyard chickens. Marked pottery examples by shortlived factories bring good prices because of their rarity. Waterers by commercial factories that made many of these odd objects sell for $100 to $200.

Q:

My mom died in July, and I’m trying to sort through some of her belongings.

One of the items I’m trying to price, possibly for sale, is her hutch. Printed inside the drawers are the words, “Rockingham Temple Stuart Colonial Modern Dinette.” I believe it is maple and it’s like new. I

looked online and saw prices as low as $50 and as high as $650. Can you help out in any way, either by suggesting a price range or telling me where I might find some information?

A:

Temple Stuart Furniture was founded in Baldwinville, Mass., in 1904. Rockingham is one of the lines it made. The company was bought by a Canadian company, Roxton Temple Stuart Ltd. of Waterloo, Quebec, in about 1987.

Your mother’s hutch would sell for about $200 to $300.

Q: Have you heard of a California pottery company called California

Cleminsons Galagray?

When I was married 50 years ago, an aunt gave me a set of the pottery’s dishes as a wedding present.

The dishes are marked with those words. I would like to know more about the set.

A: George and Betty Cleminson founded a pottery called Californian Clay in 1941. Betty was the designer and George handled the business end. They worked in their garage in Monterey Park, Calif., and later moved to a larger facility in El Monte, Calif. The company name was changed to California Cleminsons in 1943. Dinnerware, kitchenware and decorative items were made at the factory.

Q: I saw a vase made by Ferock listed in an auction.

Can you tell me something about the maker?

A: Pottery stamped “Ferock” was made by Frank Ferrell (sometimes spelled Ferrel), who had a studio in Zanesville, Ohio, in the early 20th century. He used clay from the North Dakota School of Mines. Ferrell worked as a designer and modeler for several Zanesville potteries, including Weller (1897-1905), J.B. Owens, Peters and Reed, and Roseville. He was art director at Roseville from 1918 to 1954. During that period, he designed all of its lines, including “Ferella,” a line named after him.
