WHITNEY BAKER, A LIBRARIAN at Kansas University, is pictured with the Wilcox Collection of bumper stickers on Wednesday at the Spencer Research Library on the KU campus. Through a research project, Baker was able to trace bumper stickers’ roots back to Kansas.

Though she’s seen thousands of bumper stickers, Whitney Baker isn’t all that interested in what they have to say. She’s more interested in keeping them around for a long, long time.

She’s a conservator for the KU Libraries and took a five-month sabbatical to go around the country to look at bumper stickers, and she’s learned a lot about how to preserve them for others.

And, OK, she’s found a few pretty funny ones, too.

Many appeared on the late radio host Paul Harvey’s show. Harvey would ask people would send him funny bumper stickers, and he would them read aloud over the air. ●●●

Some of her favorite slogans, Baker said, talk about simply being a bumper sticker.

“Bumper Sticker” “Save paper. Ban bumper stickers.”

“Don’t remove this bumper. It’s holding my sticker on.”

No texting-while-driving tickets have been written in the city of Lawrence — and just two in Douglas County — since the state’s ban took effect on Jan. 1.

Officials say the lack of tickets isn’t an indication that people have stopped texting. Rather, it points to the difficulty in enforcing the law.

Last year, the Kansas Legislature passed a law that prohibits drivers from using a “wireless device to write, send or read a written communication.” Along with texting, the law includes instant messages and emails.

Starting last July, law enforcement officers could begin to issue warnings for drivers caught texting. Six months later the law went into full effect. A violation comes with a $60 ticket and in Douglas County another $93.50 in court fines.

City of Lawrence prosecutor Jerry

Little said it’s not surprising that no texting cases have come his way.

Because officers have to show that a driver was texting and not answering the phone or dialing a number, Little said he could see how the law would be difficult to enforce.

“It’s an important law,” Little said.

“But there are lots of other laws that are just as important that can be enforced more easily, such as speeding and stop sign violations.”

Lawrence Municipal Court records, which covers the jurisdiction of the Lawrence Police Department, show that no tickets were written in January for texting and driving. Douglas County District Court records, which cover the jurisdiction of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office and the Kansas Highway Patrol, showed two tickets have been written.

One of those tickets came after a one-vehicle rollover accident, Douglas County Sheriff Sgt. Steve Lewis

T O P E K A — Kansas Board of Regents members have expressed consternation over a proposal by a group of House Republicans that would cut the salaries of top researchers at higher education institutions by 7.5 percent.

“The answer to our economic problems is getting intellectually smart people,” said Regents Chairman Gary Sherrer of Overland Park. “It is going to be difficult in doing that if we punish them for doing something well.”

The proposal “defies logic,” said Vice Chairman Ed McKechnie of Arcadia.

The Legislature is working on a budget rescission bill for the current fiscal year, and faces an estimated $492 million revenue shortfall in the next fiscal year, which starts July 1.

Republicans on the House Appropriations Committee proposed a 7.5 percent pay cut to state employees and elected officials.

But they pulled back after a public outcry and limited the 7.5 percent to legislators, state officers, judges and regents employees making more than $100,000 per year. That was approved by the full House. The Senate budget plan does not apply the pay cut to regents employees.

Critics of the House plan say cutting the pay of top researchers will cause them to look elsewhere or be lured by better paying jobs.

Regents’ unhappiness with the House plan was expressed last week as they were approving continuation of a regents distinguished professorship and stipend for Dr. Blake Peterson at Kansas University Medical Center.

Peterson is a distinguished professor of medicinal chemistry and works on ongoing innovations in cancer vaccines and therapies for neurodegenerative disorders.

He has received grants of nearly $3 million, according to the regents.

Sherrer said reducing the salaries of people like Peterson would only hurt Kansas in the long run. The proposed pay cut would apply to approximately 1,500 employees at regents universities.

Educational shifts give community colleges growing pains

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

As more and more students flock to Kansas community colleges in search of a less expensive way to new careers, they’re finding a system straining to accommodate the rapid growth.

More tuition revenue isn’t helping ease the pain of stagnant local property tax bases and dwindling state dollars, community college leaders say.

Kansas City Kansas Community College has cut just about as much as it can, said Brian Bode, vice president

for student and administrative services, who used the often repeated “lots of the meat is gone, we’re getting to the bone” metaphor to describe the college’s situation.

There, tuition accounts for 22 percent of revenues, Wyandotte County property tax is 45 percent and state funds account for 15 percent, with the remainder coming from auxiliary funding sources like grants, he said.

KCKCC has freezes on hiring. Travel budgets for faculty and staff have been slashed, and budgets for supplies are lower. Tuition went

up in 2010-11, but it’s still pretty affordable at around $65 per credit hour, including both tuition and fees, Bode said.

Students are seeing the impacts, too, he said — longer lines and lots of full classes, among other issues.

“We’re lucky. We had built some overflow parking,” Bode said. “It’s not overflow now.”

Justin Schmidt is a Johnson County Community College student from Eudora in his f ifth semester at the school. The recession has brought a lot more students around, he said.

When the period of online enrollment begins, it’s important to have the class numbers all written down, he said. There’s not much time for browsing available sections.

“You’ve got to get in early so you can get the classes you want,” he said.

In one recent semester, too many people tried to log on at once at the beginning of the enrollment period and taxed the system, so he usually waits a couple of hours and does pretty well, he said.

Ethyn Gutierrez, a firstsemester JCCC student from Olathe, said he didn’t have

many problems enrolling, but he does have to plan for parking.

“I’m about 50 minutes early for class,” he said in the parking lot of the college. “If you have afternoon classes, you’re walking a mile.”

In other parts of the state, too, officials are dealing with new economic realities.

Tony Crouch, executive vice president of business services at Cowley County Community College and Area Technical School, said the school experienced 20 percent growth over last Please see COLLEGES, page 2A

the company.

He said Gill developed an adhesive paper sticker to replace cardboard signs tied to bumpers that were beginning to gain popularity at the end of the 1930s and early 1940s.

Though many have said the concept can be traced back to Gill, that’s not something the company has definitively established, Gilman said.

“We don’t claim that he did it,” Gilman said, but they do know that Gill had a major role in the early stages of bumper stickers.

He established the sizes that remain popular today.

And he popularized the use of Day-Glo colors on several early stickers. ●●●

Some of the slogans are fiery — it’s probably easier to say some of these things while you’re sitting anonymously in your car.

“If you smoke, please inhale only.”

“Footprint of the American Chicken (with a peace sign)” “Be Different: Love your wife.” ●●●

Baker’s interest is in preserving the stickers. She’s learned lots about the chemistry of the adhesives used, and how to best store them.

KU has stickers in several different places. Last week, she was displaying a few from the Wilcox Collection in Spencer Research Library.

Baker said there are a variety of ways they’re useful.

Many times, things like

bumper stickers and other (big library word alert) ephemera like fliers and other papers don’t stick around.

“Even though bumper stickers are popular and people put them on their cars and on their walls, finding them in a library isn’t always easy to do,” said Sherry Williams, curator of collections at KU’s Spencer Research Library.

The Wilcox Collection has many such items from both extremes of the political spectrum. It’s used by many different scholars.

Bumper stickers — especially political ones — can come in handy, because they’re easy to place in time, Baker said. Many have dates on them, and they can tell researchers a lot about the issues people were concerned about at a particular time. ●●●

Some of the slogans are just silly.

“Down with zippers.”

“Start a movement. Eat a prune.”

“Nebraska — where the East peters out.” ●●●

Baker said she’s come to realize that people can easily identify with bumper stickers.

“It triggers personal memories for people,” she said. “A time or a place. They’re very good at conveying a lot with a few words.”

Former A.G. faces ethics hearing today

By John Hanna Associated Press Writer

TOPEKA — Investigations of abortion providers that once made Phill Kline a national figure as Kansas attorney general now have him facing an ethics complaint alleging that he and his subordinates misled other officials and mishandled patients’ medical records in pursuing criminal cases against two clinics.

A state panel plans to begin a hearing today on whether Kline violated rules prohibiting attorneys from making false statements, misrepresenting information and improperly generating publicity that could taint cases, as well as standards for fairness by a prosecutor and for safeguarding others’ property.

Kline was attorney general from 2003 to 2007, then Johnson County district attorney for the following two years; he’s now a visiting assistant law professor at Liberty University, founded by evangelist Jerry Falwell.

Kline, an anti-abortion Republican, attempted to prosecute both the late Dr. George Tiller, whose Wichita clinic performed late-term abortions, and a Planned Parenthood clinic in the Kansas City-area suburb of Overland Park. A criminal case Kline f iled in 2007 against the Planned Parenthood clinic is still pending. Tiller was acquitted of misdemeanor criminal charges in 2009, shortly before his murder.

The panel, three members of the state Board for Discipline of Attorneys, will decide whether Kline Kline breached professional ethics and, if it does, recommend sanctions to the Kansas Supreme Court.

The justices — who’ve been critical of Kline in the past — would decide what punishment, if any, to impose, including an informal admonishment, public censure or even the loss of his license to practice in state courts.

But any outcome appears unlikely to end the debate over his actions as a prosecutor, given the highly charged political atmosphere around his professional ethics case.

“We believe that the facts are in dispute,” said Mark Stafford, one of Kline’s attorneys. “The factual issues are going to be discussed without emphasizing political motives, but yet, the politics are brutal.”

Kline’s investigations of Tiller and Planned Parenthood led to lengthy legal battles between him and their clinics — and three major Supreme Court decisions in the past five years.

The ethics complaint against Kline, filed by Disciplinary Administrator Stanton Hazlett last year, cites more than 20 instances in

which it says Kline or subordinates misled others, including a grand jury in Johnson County, the Supreme Court itself and, once in Kline’s case, the disciplinary administrator’s office.

Another key issue is the handling of edited copies of medical records for 89 patients from the clinics, obtained in 2006 through subpoenas. The Supreme Court has previously criticized Kline, suggesting he and his subordinates didn’t show enough regard for patients’ privacy.

“Kline is a zealot on these issues,” said Peter Brownlie, president and chief executive officer of Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri. “He and subordinates felt it was OK to cross those lines in pursuit of his cause.”

Two former top Kline deputies are expected to testify during his hearing. They are Eric Rucker, his former chief deputy in both the attorney general’s and Johnson County prosecutor’s offices, now an assistant secretary of state, and Stephen Maxwell, formerly an assistant attorney general and assistant Johnson County district attorney, now a prosecutor in Reno County.

Rucker received an informal admonishment last year for failing to correct information given to the Supreme Court about abortion investigations in 2005 — information also at issue in Kline’s case.

year, in terms of total credit hours taken.

But, he estimated more than 50 percent of the college’s expenses fluctuated depending on enrollment.

And student tuition makes up only 30 percent of his budget.

The college has campuses in Arkansas City and Mulvane, he said. The Mulvane campus, which teaches general education courses, has been particularly hard-hit.

There, enrollments have been capped, and the school has about half the parking it needs.

“There’s only so many people that will physically fit in there,” he said. And, of course, any expansion will require additional resources.

He estimated the demand exists for 25 to 30 percent more students at the Mulvane campus.

While it’s challenging,

Crouch said, it’s not like it’s the end of the world.

The campus is moving online, where more than onethird of the students are enrolled today. And many classes are hybrids, meeting in person only one-third of the time and spending the rest of the time online. That eases space restrictions, he said.

Now in his 11th year in the job, Crouch said he felt the college was up to the challenge.

“One year you’ve got funds and you’re building a new building. There’s a challenge with that,” he said. “Then the next year, you’re moving people into the new building.

There’s a challenge with that.”

This situation is just one more challenge, he said.

much in a transition now. I’m living in an apartment, and I have no real rush to get home.”

But Carter said he doesn’t want voters to think he’s running for the City Commission as therapy. He’s had a desire to serve for quite some time and was concerned that two of the three incumbents up for re-election chose not to seek a second term.

But it is also true that there’s a personal side to this decision that goes beyond politics. Carter remembers very clearly asking his two teenage sons what they thought of his idea to run for public office.

“Their first reaction was, ‘You really think someone is going to vote for you?’”

Carter said. “They are kind of at a tough age to read, but I could really tell that there was a part of them that was proud. And that made my decision real easy.”

A traveling man Carter is pretty much a Lawrence native. His father was an executive with Southwestern Bell, and Carter moved to Lawrence when he was 1.

He roamed the Indian Hills neighborhood as child, graduated from Lawrence High School and then went on to Kansas City Kansas Community College to play baseball.

(He was a teammate of David Segui, who went on to have a successful major league career.) After about a year, Carter said it became clear he was a better teammate than a student.

After leaving school, he packed up his Jeep and headed to Lake Tahoe, on the border between Nevada and California. He wanted to learn to ski. It was a good plan, except that on his first day there, he fell down a flight of stairs and broke his thumb.

But he did end up landing a job. He handled room service chores for Harrah’s fivestar casino and resort. He

Crowns & Implants with a caring touch.

quickly ended up getting promoted to a waiter, then to a supervisor of waiters, and eventually Harrah’s convinced him to f inish his degree. He graduated from the University of Nevada Las Vegas’ college of hotel administration in 1995.

Then, life became an adventure. He figures that in 11 years he and his family lived in about nine states — Nevada, Colorado, California, Washington, West Virginia, Kentucky and Nebraska among them. For the casino companies — both Harrah’s and Ameristar — he mainly was a food and beverage specialist. Then he switched gears and became a specialist in turning around distressed hotels for John Q. Hammonds and other private hotel operators.

Carter — who has been back in Lawrence since 2006 — thinks his travels would serve him well as a city commissioner.

“It has given me perspective,” he said. “I have lived in

a lot of places and been a part of a lot of new businesses.

You get to see how people welcome you or don’t welcome you.”

The jobs also gave him experience managing large organizations. As food and beverage director for Ameristar’s large Omaha casino, he oversaw a staff of nearly 600 people.

“I was at a lot of properties that needed help, and I always tried to figure out whether we were treating the symptoms or whether we were treating the problems,” Carter said.

Issues Carter says Lawrence’s economy has both some symptoms and problems, although he said the city has fared better than several other communities.

He estimated he’s had about 45 “coffee meetings” with Lawrence residents since he filed for office.

“I’ve had a hard time getting people to identify issues,

but I think people do recognize that we need to increase jobs and increase incomes,” Carter said.

He said while unemployment rates look decent in Lawrence, underemployment is a significant problem.

As a former planning commissioner, he said he’s already seen too many development projects turn contentious. He said he wants City Hall to combat that by becoming more proactive in identifying new locations — particularly in-fill locations — that are ripe for development. Then he wants the city to work with property owners and neighbors to fully plan the areas so that they could be marketed to potential tenants without the fear of protracted City Hall battles.

“It really would be a real 180 on how we do things,” Carter said.

LAWRENCE CITY COMMISSION RACE

1 | WASHINGTON, D.C.

Shutdown memories haunt GOP Few memories haunt Republicans more deeply than the 1995-96 partial shutdown of the federal government, which helped President Bill Clinton reverse his falling fortunes and recast House Republicans as stubborn partisans, not savvy insurgents.

Now, as Congress careens toward a budget impasse, government insiders wonder if another shutdown is imminent — and whether Republicans again would suffer the most blame.

Leaders of both parties say they are determined to avoid a shutdown. But they have not yielded on the amount of spending cuts they will demand or accept. Meanwhile, shutdown talk is rippling through Washington and beyond.

Behind the scenes, Senate officials are spending Congress’ Presidents Day recess week poring over the spending proposal passed by the House early Saturday, according to one Democratic leader.

The Obama administration is warning that workers who handle Social Security benefits might be furloughed. Almost hourly, top Democrats and Republicans accuse each other of pushing the government to the brink by being inflexible.

2 | CAIRO

Leader’s son warns of civil war in Libya After anti-government unrest spread to the Libyan capital and protesters seized military bases and weapons Sunday, Moammar Gadhafi’s son went on state television to proclaim that his father remained in charge with the army’s backing and would “fight until the last man, the last woman, the last bullet.”

Seif al-Islam Gadhafi, in the regime’s first comments on the six days of demonstrations, warned the protesters that they risked igniting a civil war in which Libya’s oil wealth “will be burned.”

The speech followed a fierce crackdown by security forces who fired on thousands of demonstrators and funeral marchers in the eastern city of Benghazi in a bloody cycle of violence that killed 60 people on Sunday alone, according to a doctor in one city hospital. Since the six days of unrest began, more than 200 people have been killed, according to medical officials, human rights groups and exiled dissidents.

Libya’s response has been the harshest of any Arab country that has been racked by the protests that toppled long-serving leaders in neighboring Tunisia and Egypt.

3 | TEXAS

Bill allowing guns on campus set to pass Texas is preparing to give college students and professors the right to carry guns on campus, adding momentum to a national campaign to open this part of society to firearms.

More than half the members of the Texas House have signed on as co-authors of a measure directing universities to allow concealed handguns. The Senate passed a similar bill in 2009 and is expected to do so again. Republican Gov. Rick Perry, who sometimes packs a pistol when he jogs, has said he’s in favor of the idea.

Texas has become a prime battleground for the issue because of its gun culture and its size, with 38 public universities and more than 500,000 students.

It would become the second state, following Utah, to pass such a broad-based law. Colorado gives colleges the option and several have allowed handguns.

Supporters of the legislation argue that gun violence on campuses, such as the mass shootings at Virginia Tech in 2007 and Northern Illinois in 2008, show that the best defense against a gunman is students who can shoot back.

Candidates introduce prospective goals

Alstrom to tend to Carter’s focus to be ‘economic gardening’ increasing jobs, income

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

For a while, it was the Rocky Mountain high life.

Lawrence City Commission candidate Sven Alstrom lived for 14 years in Aspen, Colo., and another two years in Boulder.

There were some good times, Alstrom says. Potluck dinners with the founder of the Quark software program. A friendship with Sen. John Warner’s daughter, who also is the granddaughter of banking mogul Paul Mellon. Visits with former U.S. Congresswoman Pat Schroeder about their shared love of the Keeshond breed of dogs.

The raref ied air of Colorado’s wealthiest communities helped shape Alstrom, but don’t expect him to run a city commission campaign trying to convince Lawrence residents that the city ought to become more like Boulder or Aspen.

“I loved it, but it was like treading water economically,” Alstrom said. “Boulder is expensive. Aspen is exorbitant.”

As an architect — Alstrom is the owner and sole employee of

Lawrence-based Ecological Architecture — he won design awards in Aspen (the former Gap building in Aspen is his design), served on downtown committees, and was part of a group that studied light rail options for the community.

But he never did get over that treading water stage. Following 9/11, his business took a downturn and he decided it was time to return to Lawrence — where he had graduated from Kansas University in the 1970s. By 2004 he was living in Lawrence, and he also had filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection.

“It was an unfortunate result of our cyclical economy,” Alstrom, 59, said.

It is not a result, though, that he said should disqualify him from being a Lawrence city commissioner. Instead, he said going through ups and downs has provided him perspective.

It also has provided him an unofficial slogan that isn’t all that common in city commission campaigns.

“I think Lawrence sometimes kicks itself, but really I think

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Everybody grieves differently.

That’s how Hugh Carter explains the decision that he knows has caused some people to scratch their heads. Carter is one of five candidates for the Lawrence City Commission, despite a list of personal tragedies that would cause many men to do anything but seek out a public spotlight.

In 2003, Carter’s younger brother died unexpectedly at the age of 32. Then three years ago, Carter’s son Rees died at age 13 of an apparent suicide.

Just four months ago, Carter and his wife finalized their divorce — a marriage that fell victim to the tremendous sorrow from the loss of their son, Carter said.

But in October — a full three months before the filing deadline — Carter launched a campaign for the Lawrence City Commission. He says he knows a City Commission campaign is not the typical decompression chamber.

“I tried to decompress, and I found that time off was not Please see ALSTROM, page 5A good for me,” Carter said.

Carter — who is the son of Ed Carter, a Lawrence mayor in the 1980s — kept working as a f inancial adviser for Lawrence’s Wells Fargo Advisors and even kept serving on the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission. He said he remembers thinking how a roomful of angry people at a Planning Commission meeting felt better than many other things in his life.

So he decided to take it a step further with a run for the City Commission.

“I was pretty lost for a while,” Carter said. “But I have two other boys, and they are certainly reason enough to move on. They are watching.”

Carter, 44, said he’s confident his personal sorrows won’t get in the way of serving as a city commissioner. He said that, in a way, he has more time than ever to devote to the job since his two sons — 18 and 14 years old — are now living with their mother.

“I’ve always been in a rush to get home and be with the family,” Carter said. “But I’m very Please see CARTER, page 2A

Heart attack survivor starts Overland Park support group

By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

A day before her 45th birthday, Cathy Porter suffered a massive heart attack while eating out with friends.

Doctors told her a blood clot had formed and it wasn’t allowing blood to flow from her heart.

“It was very, very scary,” she said.

Five years later, Porter had openheart surgery to repair the damage caused by the heart attack.

Porter, now 57, of Overland Park, said when she had the heart attack in 1998, people didn’t talk about women’s heart disease. At the time, she thought she had horrible indigestion although she had jaw and

HEALTHY HEART SUPPORT The Overland Park WomenHeart support group meets the first Monday of each month at different hospitals. Anyone is welcome to attend.

The next meeting will be at 6:30 p.m.

March 7 at Menorah Medical Center, 5721 W. 119th St. in Overland Park. The topic will be eating out healthy.

For more information, contact Cathy Porter by e-mail at portershack@gmail.com, or Kristin Seltman at kseltman@gmail.com. chest pain, a cold sweat, dizziness and pain between the shoulder blades.

“One of our friends said something to my husband and he called

911,” Porter said. “Otherwise, I would have let it go.”

That’s why she is an advocate for women and heart disease. In 2005, Porter founded a WomenHeart support group in Overland Park.

“Hopefully, I can prevent one person from going through what I’ve gone through,” she said.

The group, which has about 20 members, meets monthly. It has guest speakers, and more importantly, the members are there for one another.

“Regardless of how supportive

your family is, sometimes you just really need to talk to someone who has gone through what you’ve gone through,” Porter said.

K risten Seltman joined the group in 2008 after suffering three heart attacks at age 41 . She described the members as her “heart sisters.”

“We are not a bunch of people who sit around and be negative: ‘Woe is me and my sad little life.’

It ’s m o re a b o ut e d u c a t i o n — learning about the disease and how can we can live with it,” she said.

Former members of the Overland Park support group have started their own groups in the areas of Blue Springs and Liberty, Mo., and

another one is starting in the midtown Kansas City area.

“I think it’s exciting because it just proves that we are reaching more women,” Porter, the founder, said. “Hopefully, we will be able to add groups in surrounding communities.”

The support group also provides red scarves and gift bags with information for heart patients in 24 hospitals, including Lawrence Memorial Hospital.

“We just want to let women know that they are not alone in the journey,” Porter said.

said. The driver said he was texting, went off the road and then overcorrected. During the investigation, the driver admitted to texting, and officers wrote the ticket.

However, Lewis said catching people texting in the county can be hard because there isn’t the stop-and-go traffic that Lawrence has. “It is pretty rare for us to sit there and be able to monitor and see someone texting, unless we happen to be cruising along next to them and observe that,� Lewis said.

As for the Lawrence Police Department, public information officer Sgt. Matt Sarna said he didn’t have an explanation as to why no tickets have been written.

Before the law went into full effect, Sarna noted in an e-mail that it could be difficult to tell if a person was texting or dialing a cell phone.

But still, he thought that having a law would make drivers “think twice� about picking up the phone to send a message. — Reporter Christine Metz can be reached at 832-6352.

Alstrom still under bankruptcy orders

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Lawrence City Commission candidate Sven Alstrom confirmed to the JournalWorld that he’s still under the orders of a personal bankruptcy filing from 2004.

Alstrom said the filing was a result of a downturn in his architectural business in Aspen, Colo., following the terrorist attacks in 2001.

“I’m part of a cyclical

industry,” Alstrom said. “I feel like there is not the stigma attached to it that there used to be because a lot of people have had to go through this.”

According to Alstrom’s bankruptcy filing from July 1, 2004, he had assets of about $34,890 vs. liabilities of about $86,500. Among the debts that he had not paid at the time of the filing were $11,589 in unpaid taxes to the Internal Revenue Service and the

state of Colorado dating back to 2000.

Alstrom said his finances are now in better order as business has started to improve. He said his bankruptcy is scheduled to be discharged May 1.

“I really feel like it is over,” Alstrom said. “I feel like it is behind me.”

Alstrom___________________________ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

we’re doing OK,” Alstrom said. “You have to remember to look at how everybody else is doing. I think we’re doing most things right.”

An active voice That doesn’t mean, however, that there has been any shortage of items for Alstrom to talk about. He was one of the more vocal critics of The Oread hotel project north of KU. He said he opposed the project on historic preservation grounds — Alstrom is a former member of the city’s Historic Resources Commission — though he said he also didn’t like the design of the building. But he also freely admits the project has ended up being a positive for the Lawrence economy.

Alstrom also was active among a group of Centennial neighborhood residents who opposed parts of the school district’s plans for new athletic facilities at Lawrence High.

He ended up being one of seven plaintiffs in a lawsuit against the district, which eventually was settled out of court when the district agreed to make some design changes to the project.

Alstrom’s home — a 1950s cement home built for the Penny family — abuts the new softball field. Alstrom said there are still a few aspects he doesn’t like about the project, but he’s generally pleased with the end result.

In the nearly eight years since he’s been back in Lawrence — he grew up in Wyandotte County, the son of a businessman who owned a title insurance company — he’s been involved in other issues. The scholarship halls in the Oread neighborhood were a hot issue that he became active in when he first arrived in the city, and he said he once applied to be a long-range planner for the city of Lawrence.

“I really would have driven people wild as a long-range planner,” Alstrom said.

Alstrom does admit that he sometimes can be a bit of a lightning rod. Alstrom once was generally considered to be a prolific commenter on the Journal-World’s online forum. Until he filed for city commission — he filed five minutes before the deadline — he had been banned from the forum by LJWorld.com moderators for activity that violated the site’s terms of service.

But Alstrom disputes that he got out of line on the site, especially when compared with other commenters.

Instead, he said some people just don’t like to hear his opinions.

“It is like they are xenophobic,” Alstrom said of other commenters. “If you don’t agree with them, they go crazy.”

Issues Alstrom’s stance on sever-

al issues can be complex. For example, he said that he does think Lawrence’s retail industry is overbuilt, but that he wouldn’t try to stop new retailers from building here. He’s also a historic preservationist but said that he thinks downtown Lawrence needs to be open to change.

“I had a biology textbook titled ‘Grow or Die,’” Alstrom said. “That is a basic law of nature. Historic preservation doesn’t mean you put downtown under a bell jar. We have to let downtown grow.”

He also said he’s tired of hearing rhetoric about Lawrence being a community that is unfriendly to business. He said that Lawrence is a welcoming place for business, but that the community just wants to go about attracting businesses different from a place like Johnson County. Alstrom uses the phrase “economic gardening” to express the idea of tending to businesses that are existing and homegrown. He said places like Johnson County use a lot of “Miracle-Gro,” such as tax abatements and other incentives.

“I think we’re saying we want to be a little more sustainable, a little more organic here in Lawrence,” Alstrom said.

Topeka police break up brawl at Chuck E. Cheese restaurant TOPEKA — Topeka police were called to settle a fight that erupted between adults celebrating separate birthday parties at a Chuck E. Cheese restaurant.

Capt. Bill Cochran said that officers responded to the

child-oriented restaurant Saturday night after a disturbance started inside and spilled out into the parking lot.

Cochran said the fight began when two families hosting their own birthday events had a disagreement.

He did not specify what the

disagreement was about.

Adults from both parties then began fighting inside the restaurant and in the parking lot.

Police were able to disperse the crowd. They also issued citations for fighting and disorderly conduct.

Remember Borders Trying to predict future retail trends is a useless exercise.

S

ometimes bad news makes you pause.

The announcement by Borders that it will close its store at Seventh and New Hampshire streets falls under that bad news category. It is a blow for a downtown that already feels like its retail muscle isn’t what it used to be.

Not that it will ease the sting, but community leaders and planners ought to take a moment and ponder Borders’ approximately 15-year history in Lawrence. Specifically, they should let their minds wander back to 1996 when Borders was forced to argue its way into this city’s business community.

The proposal to build a national chain bookstore in downtown Lawrence spurred considerable controversy. To some, it didn’t matter that Borders wanted to make a $7 million investment in downtown Lawrence by building a new store with its own parking — a rarity in downtown.

Instead, two issues kept rising to the surface of a heated City Hall debate. One was that the old livery stable building at Seventh and New Hampshire was an integral part of downtown’s historic fabric. The argument was that if it were torn down, the environs of the historic Eldridge Hotel would be damaged. The second argument simply was that a national bookstore chain would decimate the city’s healthy independent bookstore market.

Today, hindsight allows us to say both of those concerns were exaggerated. It would be hard to argue that The Eldridge is any less of an attraction or a historic jewel than it was 15 years ago.

In fact, The Eldridge has seen a tremendous amount of new investment in the Borders era.

Even more interesting is what has happened to the city’s bookstore scene. It has not been decimated. The Raven Book Store — less than a block away — remains open. So does The Dusty Bookshelf. Yes, some stores have closed, but some new ones have opened. Signs of Life — a specialty independent bookstore — is one of downtown’s larger retailers today. Half Price Books on West 23rd Street did not blink an eye at locating in a city that has a Borders.

Even The Raven doesn’t seem to mind anymore. The ownership of The Raven has changed since those contentious days, but now the store’s owner says she’s sad to see Borders close.

There is a real benefit to having several bookstores close together in the downtown, she says.

As it turn out, Borders was less of a factor in Lawrence’s bookstore industry than Amazon.com and the Internet. The folks arguing in the mid-1990s, didn’t have a clue about that development.

(As an aside, changing reading habits also will have an impact on public libraries and should be a factor in plans for Lawrence’s library expansion. Perhaps city and library officials should take another look at plans to make sure the overall library project is still relevant.)

It is important to remember all this because city leaders and planners are still asked to sit in judgment on new development projects.

Arguments are still made at City Hall that some developments should be denied because they’ll run other businesses out of business.

There really should be no room for that in the city’s planning process, because that’s not planning; it’s just guessing.

It is fine and appropriate for planners to consider many factors — such as traffic flow, parking, design and zoning consideration. But leaders shouldn’t fool themselves into thinking they can predict the future. The next time City Hall leaders are presented with arguments that one business will ruin another business, they ought to remember Borders.

They ought to remember that back in the mid1990s a lot of well-intentioned people gazed into a crystal ball and were certain of the harm a Borders would do to downtown and Lawrence.

Come to find out, that crystal ball was about as cloudy as the future of a certain national bookstore chain is today.

A reminder: Presidents are people, too President Barack Obama hopes to overhaul the tax code.

That must mean he’s channeling Ronald Reagan again. He has continued to prosecute the war in Afghanistan. That means he’s taken a page from George W. Bush.

He’s been willing to engage America’s opponents. That means he’s a carbon copy of Jimmy Carter.

But wait. He pushed his health care overhaul through Congress.

That makes him different from Bill Clinton. He’s reluctant to levy new taxes to attack the deficit.

That separates him from George H.W. Bush.

Now that we celebrate Presidents Day (the third Monday in February) rather than Lincoln’s birthday (Feb. 12) or Washington’s birthday (Feb. 22), we tend more than ever to look at presidents as a group, a subspecies all its own, and we measure our chief executives by how they conform with their predecessors and how they differ.

Presidential comparisons So when we consider Obama’s speaking style, we compare him with John F. Kennedy; when we examine his attempts to forge international coalitions, we compare him with the first President Bush; and when we weigh his willingness to take on entrenched Democratic interests, we compare him with President Clinton. Sometimes the president does this himself.

Not so long ago he spoke privately with a confidant about how his communication style differs from Reagan’s. It wasn’t that he was trying to ape Reagan, as the newsmagazines have been saying.

It was that he was trying to learn from Reagan, only to find that what Reagan had — a way of looking at the world that was instinctive, not intellectual — cannot be learned. In Reagan’s day, his partisans cried: Let Reagan be Reagan.

Perhaps the lesson for Obama is to

David Shribman What ties most “presidents together is frustration.”

let Obama be Obama. But that’s another column.

Though presidents share many characteristics, they leave their own stamp on the office, reshaping it for all who follow.

Consider how different William Howard Taft was from Theodore Roosevelt — a difference that proved fatal to Taft, who came in third when he ran for re-election — and how different Kennedy was from Dwight D. Eisenhower.

In 1914, the radical journalist John Reed compared Woodrow Wilson in the White House with Theodore Roosevelt: “There was none of that violent slamming of doors, clamor of voices, secretaries rushing to and fro, and the sense of great national issues being settled in the antechamber that characterized Roosevelt’s term in the White House. The window curtains swayed in a warm breeze; things were unhurried, yet the feeling in that room was of powerful organization, as if no moment were wasted — as if an immense amount of work was being done.”

No one wrote that about Warren G. Harding, or even about Reagan.

Hard to generalize So it is not possible to make facile generalizations, such as saying American presidents are introverts (Richard Nixon was,

Bill Clinton wasn’t); or that they are introspective (Calvin Coolidge surprisingly so, George H.W. Bush stunningly not so); or even intellectual (Obama is, Franklin Roosevelt wasn’t).

It’s not possible to say that they are people persons (Lyndon Johnson was, Wilson wasn’t); or that they are religious (Carter was, Reagan wasn’t); or that they are steeped in, and steered by, history (Kennedy was, George W. Bush wasn’t); or that they are formal in style (Nixon was, Ford wasn’t).

The best you can say is that most of them like golf (Eisenhower, the Bushes and Clinton especially) and that all of them since Franklin Roosevelt, who was stricken with polio after having an active early adulthood, were fit. Five of the last six presidents were joggers. I will leave it to others to speculate why two of the last five were obsessed with clearing brush, but surely there is a metaphor in there somewhere.

Though many presidents came from the legislative branch, a few months in the executive branch is usually enough to clear away the romance of Congress. Harry S Truman, a former senator, was contemptuous of the Senate, and Lyndon Johnson, known as perhaps the greatest master of the Senate, was even more so.

“The Congress has shown an inclination to treat a president with the same kind of consideration it extends to our birds and other wildlife,” said Coolidge, a former governor, after Congress appropriated $48,000 for a presidential retreat.

The late presidential scholar Richard Neustadt used to say that the president possesses little more than the power to persuade, and recent presidents have discovered the limits of that particular power, which is not delineated in the Constitution.

“Presidents think they can move the public,” George C. Edwards, who holds a chair in

presidential studies at Texas A&M University, said in an interview. “They just won an election.

They think they are very persuasive fellows. But when it comes to taking your case to the public, they almost all fail all the time.

That’s because there’s opposition to anything significant. The public never pays attention. The public’s views are only reinforced, seldom changed. And when the public does change views, it’s not because the president has persuaded them. It’s because the world has changed — because, for example, the Nazis are marching across Europe and maybe we ought to re-examine isolationism.”

Complicated lives But presidents also live complicated lives. Wilson watched from the sidelines as the Clayton Antitrust Act was passed because his wife was dying. John Tyler’s wife died in the White House.

William McKinley spent a good deal of his presidency ministering to his ailing wife. Coolidge’s son died while he was in office.

Kennedy’s wife gave birth to a son nearly six weeks early only to see him die two days later.

“Presidents are people, too,” Kenneth M. Duberstein, who was Reagan’s chief of staff, said in an interview. “They have families, they have needs, they have hobbies, they have hobby horses. Is it normal to go see your kids play basketball on a Saturday morning?

Damn straight. Is it nice to go back home? Of course it is. Presidents do those things. The problem they have is that they are in a bubble.

They don’t walk through the front entrances anymore. They enter hotels through kitchens. That’s the thing people forget. The president is not supernatural.”

That, as we mark another Presidents Day, may be the main thing all presidents have in common.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Feb. 21, 1911: YEARS “Aviator Evans AGO who expects to give IN 1911 a series of exhibition flights at Woodland Park for four days will fly over the city next Thursday afternoon if wind conditions are favorable. The graceful but fragile looking aeroplane is being unpacked today at the depot and will be taken out to the aviation field this afternoon.

The public will be welcome to visit the park and watch the aviator putting the bi-plane together. The machine will be housed near the roller coaster and is a handsome bird-like bit of mechanism.”

Budget realities force look at education

By Gene A. Budig

The budget cutters are out in full force. Tough questions, heretofore unasked and certainly left unanswered, are being pursued with vigor, especially around the possible reallocation of very limited resources. Given a fragile economy and years of overspending, perhaps it is time to get serious about some historically untouchable areas.

Accomplished researchers retained by the College Board think so, and they zeroed in on the need for K-12 school reform.

They talked with teachers, students, recent graduates, school administrators, business leaders, and citizens. Here are some of the ideas they brought up, supplemented by my own conversations with educators and others.

More than a few are wondering whether athletics might not be abolished or seriously downsized, passing the savings to health classes that provide exercise and teach lifelong health habits. As the past president of Major League Baseball’s American League, I know full well that the athletic community is certain to be up in arms about this possibility, but many others would be intrigued and willing to hear much more.

Further reshaping our priorities, shouldn’t the number of unmanageable school districts be consolidated, using shared resources — transportation systems, special education, human resources, food service, finance, and insurance?

Significant savings could be devoted to enhanced program quality.

Surely the United States does not require Budig 14,000 school districts and the inherent costs.

Digital learning has to be radically ramped up. It is no longer a luxury, no longer an add-on. It should be integrated, via social networks, distance learning anytime, anywhere access, digital home schooling models, videogame learning environments and more, in all classes. This would not only improve the quality of our education but also, in the long run, save money.

Each student should have a computer, training the individual to become a skilled technician. Not without heated debate, some educators want to get rid of all paper and books, and make far more effi-

cient use of time and resources.

In the view of many surveyed, it is time to extend and reshape the traditional school year and day. Many educators believe the United States needs year-round schools with breaks in the winter, spring and summer. And they like the idea of lengthening the school week or day. Perhaps high school could be shortened to three years with enhanced learning.

And what about the idea of adding foreign languages in elementary schools, with a heavy emphasis on global awareness and job skills? Many teachers like the possibility and see it as a valuable pathway for students.

More than a few educators want an end to traditional and often rote-like homework, allowing extra time for internships and community service. This would enhance students’ employability in the private sector and provide valuable information to students on an uncertain career path.

There is also renewed interest in middle school and high school vocational education, which could result in early and meaningful skilled employment.

Others see the repayment of college loans after seven years in the classroom as a practical way to attract more and better teach-

ers, while some pointed to the military as a possible source for construction assistance. Some suggest national service to supplement our school staff. The educators know successful school bond issues for construction are few and far between.

And what about giving teachers more say in helping run our schools? Their knowledge and perspective is critical. Some see principals and superintendents as being unresponsive to teacher needs and too subservient to the wishes of school boards. Clearly, the teachers of today want a champion, one that understands the trials and tribulations of the classroom.

In truth, there is a lot of legitimate uneasiness out there among teachers, school administrators, students and their families, prospective employers, and overwhelmed taxpayers. But uneasiness is no excuse for inaction. It is time to address many of the compelling and previously untouchable issues in education, however difficult they may be.

Bring on the budget cutters.

— Gene A. Budig was the president or chancellor at three major state universities, including Kansas University. He is now distinguished professor at the College Board in New York City.

Hawker Beechcraft expects more sales WICHITA — Hawker Beechcraft sees increased sales prospects for its general aviation aircraft, but 2011 will continue to be a challenging environment for pricing, its top official said.

In a conference call Friday over its financial reports, Hawker Beechcraft CEO Bill Boisture said the company just completed its seventh consecutive quarter in which orders exceeded cancellations.

The company reported net sales of $2.8 billion for 2010, down from $3.2 billion the year before. It also reported a net loss of $304.3 million in 2010, compared to a loss of $451.3 million the year before.

Hawker Beechcraft delivered 238 business and general aviation aircraft in 2010 compared with 309 in 2009.

The Wichita Eagle reported that Hawker Beechcraft is hopeful it will win a contract for an attack version of its trainer aircraft from the U.S. Air Force in the next six months. It has an agreement in principle with the Salina Airport Authority to use the airport for pilot and maintenance training should it win the work.

Last OSU meeting might not motivate ‘weird’ KU

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Master motivator Bill Self isn’t so sure he’ll use last year’s Kansas-Oklahoma State basketball game as incentive for tonight’s Big Monday rematch against the Cowboys.

“Oh, we’ll talk about it and show them (Jayhawks) tape why they guarded us well last year,” Self, KU’s eighth-year coach, said.

“But this is a weird team I’m coaching, a team that is different.”

It’s a team (25-2, 10-2) that might be compelled to punish the Cowboys (16-10, 4-8) in retaliation for last year’s 85-77 beatdown (KU trailed 45-29 at halftime) in Stillwater, Okla.

Then again, it might not.

“They’ll get motivated to play, without question,” Self said of the Jayhawks, who thumped Colorado, 89-63, on Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse — the same day OSU dropped a 67-66 home game to Texas A&M. “We only have two more times

to run out of the tunnel (tonight and March 2 vs. Texas A&M).

Just because you are motivated sometimes doesn’t guarantee you’ll play well. With this team, it seems the more energy we have, we play better.”

Of course, Self, if he chooses to do so, could remind the players of the tough practices that followed last Monday’s 84-68 loss at Kansas State.

“I would think our guys will understand better that, if we play well on Monday, the rest of the

week has a chance to be more enjoyable than this past week for them,” Self said. “Hopefully we’ll play better. They did a good job against our stuff last year and beat us.”

James Anderson and Obi Muonelo, who are no longer with the Cowboys, scored 27 and 17 points respectively, while current Pokes Matt Pilgrim and Keiton Page added 18 and 15 on a day OSU hit 60.4 percent of its shots, including 10 of 19 threes.

“Keiton can shoot it,” Self said

of 5-foot-9, 160-pound Page, who went 4-for-4 from three versus KU last year. The junior from Pawnee, Okla., enters with a 13.8 scoring average. “He is doing a great job running the team.

“A guy that always gives us problems is Moses,” he added of 6-7 senior Marshall Moses, who scored eight points off 4-of-4 shooting with seven rebounds versus KU. Moses, who averages 14.1 points a game, played just

IT WAS A BAD WEEK FOR THE TOP FOUR TEAMS in the Associated Press men’s Top 25. All four teams — clockwise, from top left, Tyrel Reed and No. 1 Kansas, Deshaun Thomas and No. 2 Ohio State, Gary McGhee and No. 4 Pitt, and Tristan Thompson and No. 3 Texas — lost.

F O R T W O R T H , T E X A S — Talk about going above and beyond.

Colton Murray pitched seven innings of relief — and coaxed the final out on a called third strike with the bases loaded — as Kansas University slipped past top-ranked Texas Christian, 4-3 in 14 innings, on Sunday at Lupton Stadium.

Junior Zac Elgie provided the offense, with a two-run double in the top of the 14th, and Murray, KU’s junior closer, made it stand up.

“I’ve been thrown into situations like that to get out of a jam, but not that many jams,” Murray said after Murray allowing one earned run off seven hits with a walk and six strikeouts in seven innings. “I knew I had the drive to go that long, but I haven’t had to pitch that many innings since high school. I just knew I had to get out there every inning and gave it all I had.”

He impressed Elgie.

“First off what a game, to come in a place like this with the big crowd, to be in the game, you have to give credit to Colton. To go that long, pitch six innings, and to (starting pitcher) Tanner (Poppe), it was just a great thing to be a part of.”

It was KU’s only victory in the season-opening three-game series. It marked the third straight year KU has beaten a top-ranked team.

“It’s a whole team effort, everyone is in the ball game, and you need everyone playing for you,” Elgie said. “To have the teammates rooting for you in a hostile environment, you need that kind of support, and to have that really went a long way for us.”

Elgie, Kansas’ junior first baseman, broke a 1-1 tie in the fifth inning with a solo home run to left and then broke another tie in the 14th inning with his double to left field.

Jimmy Waters led off the Kansas 14th with a single and moved into scoring position on a walk to Chris Manship. After a sacrifice by Jake Marasco moved both runners into scoring position, Elgie doubled past TCU third baseman Jantzen Witte to give the Jayhawks the lead.

“I think we just needed to relax a little bit,” Elgie said. “I mean, it’s against the No. 1-ranked team.

There is a lot expected of us because coach (Ritch) Price has done so well against No. 1-ranked teams. We just have to go out there and be ourselves. We are a new team, we don’t have the stars that we did last year, so we had to go out there and make our own identity.”

Poppe, KU’s 6-foot-5 righthander, held the Horned Frogs (2-1) to one run on three hits with five strikeouts over six innings.

Kansas will face Creighton in the team’s home opener on Tuesday at 3 p.m. at Hoglund Ballpark. ● Box score on page 8B

NBA ALL-STAR GAME

Bryant stars in West win L O S A N G E L E S ( AP ) — Kobe Bryant always shines brightest among the stars, especially in his hometown.

Bryant brought Showtime back to the All-Star game, scoring 37 points and tying a record with his fourth MVP award, leading the Western Conference to a 148-143 victory over the East on Sunday night.

Returning to the game he dominates after a one-year absence, Bryant added 14 rebounds in a spectacular performance in front of the usual celebrity-filled crowd that turns out to see his Lakers at Staples Center.

“It feels great, being at home here and playing in front of the home crowd,” Bryant said after receiving the MVP trophy.

“This will be my last All-Star game in front of these home fans, so it feels good to do it.”

Kevin Durant chipped in 34 points, scoring five straight after the East cut a 17-point deficit after three quarters to two points with 2:34 to play.

The NBA scoring leader added the clinching free throws after the East got back within three in the final seconds.

LeBron James powered the East rally, finishing with 29 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists to join Michael Jordan

as the only players with a triple-double in the All-Star game. Amare Stoudemire also scored 29, but Miami’s Dwyane Wade, the MVP of the East’s win last year, had to leave due to an ankle injury after scoring 14.

Plenty of Hollywood giants were sitting courtside, but Bryant’s popularity here can rival most of them. This week, he became the first athlete to have his handprints and footprints put in concrete outside Hollywood’s famed Grauman’s Chinese Theater.

He told fans to “enjoy the show” before the tip, and as always he delivered a good one.

Always more about focus than fun, Bryant had 21 points by the time Rihanna came out for her halftime performance, putting him halfway to Wilt Chamberlain’s record from 1962, the year of his 100-point game. And when the East made it close in the third quarter, Bryant dunked over a chasing James who was going for the

block, then nailed a threepointer to make it 90-79.

Carmelo Anthony scored eight points in his possible goodbye to the West team. The weekend was dominated by talk of a potential trade to New York or New Jersey, and the Denver Nuggets forward appeared alternately entertained and annoyed by the constant questions.

“At times, it can be tough, but it’s fun at the same time,” he said while walking on the magenta carpet before the game. “During this weekend I’m still having fun.”

While hearing some of the usual “MVP! MVP! chants he’s usually serenaded with at Staples Center, Bryant tied Bob Pettit’s record for All-Star game honors. He was scoreless for the final 6:48, but Lakers teammate Pau Gasol had a big basket to help the West hold on.

The East team featured a combined seven players from Boston and Miami, considered two of the biggest threats to end the Lakers’ reign.

The exhibition game had a bit of a finals feel with the presence of a record-tying four players from the rival Celtics. Paul Pierce — who grew up in nearby Inglewood — and Kevin Garnett received the heaviest boos during the starting lineups.

20-year-old wins at Daytona DAYTONA BEACH , F LA . (AP) — Trevor Bayne finally made a mistake. Fortunately for him, it didn’t happen until he missed the turn pulling into Victory Lane at the Daytona 500.

The youngest driver to win the Great American Race gave the historic Wood Brothers team its fifth Daytona 500 victory — its first since 1976 with David Pearson — and Bayne did it in a No. 21 Ford that was retrofitted to resemble Pearson’s famed ride.

In just his second Sprint Cup start, the 20-year-old Bayne stunned NASCAR’s biggest names with a thrilling overtime win Sunday at Daytona International Speedway, holding off Carl Edwards after fan favorite Dale Earnhardt Jr. crashed in NASCAR’s first attempt at a green-white-checkered flag finish.

“Our first 500, are you kidding me?” said Bayne, who needed directions to Victory

Lane. “Wow. This is unbelievable.”

Unbelievable, indeed.

Just one day after celebrating his 20th birthday and leaving his teenage years behind, the aw-shucks Tennessean who shaves once a week and considers “Rugrats” his favorite TV show captured the sport’s biggest race.

Bayne When he found himself at the front, and victory just two laps away, he never thought it would last.

Bayne was content just to say he had been leading at the start of the green-white-checkered.

“I’m a little bit worried that one of them is going to come after me tonight,” he said. “I’m going to have to sleep with one eye open. That’s why I said I felt

a little undeserving. I’m leading, and I’m saying, ‘Who can I push?”’

Bayne thought for sure Tony Stewart or someone else would attempt to pass.

Nobody did.

“We get to turn four, and we were still leading the band,” he said. “It seemed a little bit too easy there at the end.”

The rookie had been great throughout Speedweeks, even proving his mettle by pushing four-time champion Jeff Gordon for most of a qualifying race, a performance Bayne said convinced the veterans he could be trusted on the track.

“I figured they had a chance after seeing that boy race in the 150s,” said Pearson, who will be inducted into the Hall of Fame in May. “I talked to him this morning. I told him to keep his head straight and not to do anything crazy. I told him to stay relaxed. I’m proud of him.”

Aviles hit .304 last season, while Escobar, who was acquired in December from Milwaukee in the Zack Greinke trade, hit .235 last season as a rookie with the Brewers.

Narrow loss for Pokes OSU guard Keiton Page on Saturday’s 67-66 home loss to Texas A&M: “It’s a huge disappointment. We had to win this game. We’re at home with our crowd. We’re tough to beat here ... so it’s disappointing to lose this type of game in our own gym.”

Sophomore Reger Dowell scored a career-high 22 points Saturday. He entered the game with 22 points all year.

Who’s No. 1?

The top four teams in the AP poll lost last week, meaning Duke (25-2) could move all the way from No. 5 to No. 1 today. KU, No. 1 last week, lost to K-State; No. 2 Ohio State lost to Purdue; No. 3 Texas lost to Nebraska; and No. 4 Pitt lost to St. John’s.

Recruiting Rivals.com reports that KU has offered a scholarship to Cezar Guerrero, a 6-foot senior guard from St. John Bosco High in Bellflower, Calif.

Guerrero, who is ranked No. 61 nationally, is also considering Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Wake Forest, BYU and others. He is a Belmont Shore summer league teammate of DeAndre Daniels, a 6-8 senior from IMG Academies in Bradenton, Fla., who is expected to choose between KU and Texas.

The Jayhawks, who last Monday were burned by KSU guard Jacob Pullen’s 38 points, face a guard in Page who has had some similarly big games. He scored 26 points at Texas Tech and 19 versus Missouri, Iowa State and at Colorado. Page, a 39.5 percent shooter, has made 44 of 138 threes for 31.9 percent and 112 of 123 free throws for a deadly 91.1 percent.

“He is real good. He can shoot the heck out of the ball,” said KU senior guard Brady Morningstar, who hit four of five threes the first half vs.

Colorado on Saturday, good for 16 points. “If you can do that, you will be on the floor.

That’s what he does. We’ll take it (Page’s accomplishments) as a challenge and try to shut everybody down.”

The Jayhawks are 5-4 versus the Cowboys in OSU graduate Self ’s eight seasons at KU. The Jayhawks have won the last 14 meetings in Allen Fieldhouse, dating to the 1990 season, yet just two of the last six in Stillwater.

“It’s different down in Stillwater, because I don’t know the last time we’ve won there,” Morningstar said. “We play them at home, which is good. They are a good team.

They are very capable. We have to stay focused and get back on the court Monday ready to play.”

ACROSS I am reluctant to invite Edith into my house again because I feel her behavior was an invasion of our privacy. Is this acceptable conduct from a professional organizer? — Fuming Sister-in-Law in Canada

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

Dear Annie: My sister-inlaw, “Edith,” is a professional organizer. Recently, we invited her to our home for a social visit, along with her husband and children. While here, Edith noticed a messy pile of papers on my kitchen counter.

She took it upon herself to sort through the papers, unsolicited, going so far as to open a folder to determine its contents. I was so shocked that I didn’t know what to say.

Lifetime retells the saga of Amanda Knox Lifetime returns to its “woman-in-peril” roots. And not a moment too soon. Not content to air the ripped-from-the-headlines TV movie “Amanda Knox: Murder on Trial In Italy” (8 p.m., Lifetime), the cable network will follow the film with “Beyond the Headlines: Amanda Knox” (10 p.m., Lifetime), featuring interviews with Knox’s parents as well as prosecutors and legal scholars who discuss what it’s like to be locked up abroad.

Hayden Panettiere (“Heroes”) stars in the title role as a young American girl spending a year studying in the picturesque Italian city of Perugia. Flashbacks to her native Seattle reveal a perky young woman, a coffee shop barista and a bit of a jock. Upon arriving in Italy, Knox found a room in a house filled with young people. All was idyllic until the morning her English roommate Meredith Kercher (Amanda Fernando Stevens) was found murdered.

Suspicion falls on any number of neighbors and acquaintances, including Knox and her boyfriend. From here on the movie sifts through the evidence from the police detective’s perspective and includes a rather grim interrogation scene and a lengthy trial. Knox’s mother (Marcia Gay Harden) arrives to swoop her up and return her to Washington, only to spend harrowing months and years fighting for Knox’s freedom in a justice system she only dimly understands.

As a Lifetime movie, “Knox” puts most emphasis on Amanda’s ordeal. Imagine having all of your personality traits and faults exaggerated by prosecutors and the press. Suddenly an ordinary American girl is portrayed as a narcissist, a liar, a sociopath and a killer. The film does not make enough of the media circus in both Italy and the victim’s native England, at the heart of the trial. The film never uses the Italian tabloid name for Knox, “Luciferina.”

Vulgar television and over-the-top tabloid media is a kind of cultural cancer in Italy, where the biggest media baron is also the country’s president. ● “Outrageous Kid Parties” (8:30 p.m., TLC) puts the spotlight on parents who overdo it for the underage set. ● “World’s Deadliest Towns” (7 p.m., Animal Planet) takes a three-hour look at African and Indian villages, where people are frequently attacked and eaten by neighboring wild life. ● “Blue Collar Dogs” (7 p.m., National Geographic Wild) puts the spotlight on drug-sniffing canines, dogs that help find people buried in rubble and dogs that can even catch the scent of cancers in some patients. ● Chris Matthews examines one president’s post-White House career on “President of the World: The Bill Clinton Phenomenon” (9 p.m., MSNBC).

Tonight’s other highlights ● A trip to the principal’s office on “House” (7 p.m., Fox). ● Graft abounds “The Chicago Code” (8 p.m., Fox). ● A bomber on the loose on “Hawaii Five-O” (9 p.m., CBS). ● Gang mediation on “Harry’s Law” (9 p.m., NBC). ● A cab driver’s murder on “Castle” (9 p.m., ABC).

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Monday, Feb. 21, 2011: This year, you have the rare opportunity to nod your head and go for what you want. An illusive or deceptive element could surround a goal. If you are single, check out someone you meet with great care.

He or she might not be all that you think. If you are attached, enjoy the rosecolored haze that develops between you two. Libra can be stern sometimes!

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You'll Have: 5Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) ★★★★★ Defer to others, as that might be the most effective path.

Encourage a discussion that involves work or a daily matter. Tonight: Sort through the possibilities.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ★★★ You could be juggling a lot. A meeting or discussion with a friend or associate could pile on even more to do, though it is your pleasure. Tonight: Slow down.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ★★★★★ When others note how creative and dynamic your thoughts are, they also are asking you to pitch in with a project. Tonight: Respond to your need to frolic.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ★★★★ You might want to relate directly to others.

Lying back also works, as you need time to think through a decision.

Tonight: Close to home.

Make it easy.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★★★ Knowing what is important to do and say at the right time always is helpful. You often take that skill for granted. Tonight: Whatever pleases you.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★★ Your conversations are vital and full of fun.

Honor the differences between you and others.

Tonight: Pay bills first.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★★★ You are all smiles. Don't kid yourself — others are quite perceptive to your moods. If you are wanting to indulge or flatter someone, a mere sentence and a little time will do the trick — today.

Tonight: Fun and games.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★ Take your time, especially if you sense that you might not be able to hit fifth gear. A slow but deliberate pace can work too, especially if you need feedback or more information. Tonight: Vanish, if you can.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21) ★★★★ Never say "no" to a supporter's offer to help. You might regret it

Dear Annie: My adult brother is a drug addict.

“Keith” has been in and out of rehab programs, but hasn’t succeeded in staying clean.

He lies to family members and lives in his car and various fleabag motels. He is still working, but only enough to support his habit. Frankly, I’m amazed he can hold down a job.

I feel torn when it comes to being in his company and having him in my home. I try to be understanding of his addiction, but I am extremely uncomfortable around him.

And I don’t trust him. He stole from my parents, and when he received thousands of dollars through an inheritance, he spent all of it on drugs.

Am I wrong to want to distance myself from my brother? Keith keeps saying he’s going to get his act together, but it hasn’t happened. Meanwhile, I dread his calls because I feel obligated to listen to his sob stories, and then I feel guilty for wanting him to leave me alone. How do I handle this? — Torn in Maryland

DELAND, FLA. — Kansas University’s softball team is 10-0 and 2-for-2.

The Jayhawks routed Stetson, 8-0, in six innings in the championship of the Stetson Hatter Invitational championship game on Sunday to claim their second tournament title in two weeks.

KU (10-0) hit three home runs in blanking Stetson (3-5).

Sophomore Alex Jones pitched all six innings for the Jayhawks to pick up her first win of the season. Jones struck out a career-high eight batters and also went 2-for-4 from the plate.

Nine Jayhawks combined for 12 hits, including home runs from senior Brittany Hile, junior Liz Kocon and sophomore Mariah Montgomery. Kocon and sophomore Maggie Hull joined Jones with multiple hits, as each had two.

Hile got the offense started when she hit her fourth home run of the weekend in the bottom of the third. Later in the

inning, Montgomery also homered, her fourth of the season, to plate sophomore Rosie Hull and give KU a 3-0 lead.

Maggie Hull added a run in

the next frame. She singled to the first baseman and beat the flip to the bag. Freshman Ashley Newman scooted her over a bag with a sacrifice bunt, and junior Marissa Ingle advanced Hull to third base with her single to shallow right field. Eventually, Maggie Hull slid home after a wild pitch, expanding the Jayhawks’ lead to 4-0 after four innings.

Kocon moved into a tie for sixth on the Kansas career home runs list when she hit her 18th career homer in the fifth inning, a one-out, solo shot to right field.

Kocon and freshman Kendra Cullum then helped end the game after six innings due to run-rule when the pair drove in three runs in the final frame to set the margin.

Kocon’s single through the right side plated Rosie Hull and Jones, while Cullum’s single over the shortstop’s head drove home Montgomery.

recovers from traumatic AMAZING ACT Performer injuries to spread magic offstage

BY MICHAEL C. AUCHARD

M

agician Kevin Spencer doesn’t want you to go watch a magic show. No, he doesn’t want anybody to sit through the same old rabbit-from-a-hat routine — the familiar, humdrum hocus-pocus.

What he does want to do is entertain you. He wants to broaden your expectations of what a show involving illusion can entail, eschewing the bland for the bewildering.

“All of us have that Uncle Fred-type relative who can whip out a deck of cards and do tricks,” Spencer says. “What I want to do is come up with something different than that.

We’ve taken all of the great elements of Broadway, we’ve wrapped those things around some pretty amazing illusions, and combined it with the highenergy concept of a rock concert. We try not to even call ourselves a magic show. We call ourselves a theatrical production of grand illusion.”

Spencer and his wife, Cindy, make up the act Spencers: Theatre of Illusion, performing Thursday at Kansas University’s Lied Center.

Influenced by magicians Harry Houdini and Doug Henning, Spencer says one hallmark of his show is light.

Spencer says this adds to the power of the show, as illusions performed on a shadowy stage can more easily be disbelieved.

“Magic isn’t something you come in and you sit down and you watch,” he says. “What we want to do is create an intellectual and emotional experience.

Take them on a journey they won’t get anywhere else.”

Karen Christilles, associate director of the Lied Center, says

SPENCERS: THEATRE OF ILLUSION When: 7:30 p.m.

Thursday Where: Kansas University Lied Center Cost: $28/$24 for adults, $10 for students Purchase: 864-2787, www.liedcenter.ku.edu Special to the Journal-World

● The Spencers will

also visit the Autism Society of Lawrence, the Boys and Girls Club, Pioneer Ridge Retirement Community and Lawrence Presbyterian Manor as part of their educational outreach. beyond Thursday’s event, the Spencers will spend time with multiple area organizations, assisting both children and elderly adults. Groups include the Autism Society of Lawrence, the Boys and Girls Club of Lawrence, Pioneer Ridge Retirement Community and Lawrence Presbyterian Manor.

“I’m very happy to have Kevin in our community,” she says, “not only because they’re fabulous with their craft. They have a big, spectacle-type of magic in their show. It’s high drama and music with lights and sound. Beyond the performance and the stage, he has a very personal mission with magic as a healing art. He’s working with people who have sustained brain injuries through an accident or people with brain injuries as part of a genetic disease.”

Christilles says the Spencers’ show works at the Lied Center

KEVIN SPENCER on multiple levels, as it both aids the community and adds diversity to the season’s calender of events.

“I think this is an opportunity to see something at the Lied Center that we haven’t normally explored before,” she says.

“And the outreach is important — to be able to make these artists have a real effect on our home community, not only to provide entertainment.”

Anthea Scouffas, director of education at the Lied Center, agrees, saying the arts can often have a healing power that goes beyond other forms of therapy.

“The way we explore the arts with kids and adults, it’s not only art is important for art’s sake, but art can be an amazing stage to explore other issues. It really provides opportunity and a safe place for people to explore different themes.”

Scouffas says Kevin Spencer’s techniques work with both kids with attention deficit disorder, learning disabilities and autism, and older adults with mental or physical therapy issues.

“He’s developed a couple of different programs working around children that might have learning disabilities,” she

says. “He also works with people who have brain injuries or older people who have issues like with arthritis. He uses magic to extend the therapy for kids and adults.”

Spencer says he got involved with outreach years ago after an automobile accident left him in an intensive care wing of a hospital with closed brain and lower spinal cord injuries.

“The doctors told me I might never perform again,” he says.

“So I spent the next year in physical and occupational therapy. After a year, I realized how incredibly boring long-term therapy is. So I found 50 magic tricks we could teach patients, all with a specific therapeutic goal. It’s things they can do at home, as well as in the hospital, and it’s fun — that’s the basic part of it.”

Spencer is excited about his upcoming time in Lawrence, both on the stage and when he’ll be helping others.

“It’s a pretty cool thing,” he says. “I have the greatest job in the world. Not only do I get to play with magic tricks, but I get to sit down and work with some amazing people, everywhere I go.”

SLICE of Life

‘MORE THAN RESULTS’ { Free State coach committed to helping kids FREE STATE HEAD COACH Chuck Law watches his team warm up before Free State’s game against Shawnee Mission South in Overland Park.

“S

ports are about more than results,” says Chuck Law, Free State High School’s boys basketball head coach.

“Outsiders often judge sports by external measurables like results. Coaches also judge by immeasurables like when kids give their very best and build character.”

That’s not to say results don’t matter; Law believes it’s important to keep life’s bigger picture in mind.

Raised in Emporia, Law says his parents instilled in him and his three older brothers the importance of good character and serving others. His high school coaches did the same.

“Those guys influenced me greatly,” he says. “They were supportive, believed in me, challenged me to be and do my best.

They had a big impact on me.”

Law participated in all sports and often thought it would be cool to be a coach. He rejected a golf scholarship to Emporia State University and attended Kansas University to do accounting.

“I thought I might become a sports agent or something connected with the sporting world,” he says.

After graduating with a bachelor’s degree in accounting in 1990, Law was lured into becoming a tax accountant for an international investment firm with offices in Kansas City.

“The money was good, but it wasn’t fulfilling and satisfying. I wanted to do something with my life that would make an impact,” he says.

Law returned to Emporia, graduated from ESU with a post-baccalaureate teaching certificate in 1995, and taught and coached with his early mentors at Emporia State High School. He returned to Lawrence in 1999 as a part-time social studies teacher at Free State and as assistant soccer and basketball coach. He became boys’ head basketball coach in 2005.

“Bill Self told me that moving 18 inches

on the bench would make a difference,” he recalls.

“It’s true. The head coach responsibilities are greater. You have to be a good administrator, ensure all aspects of the program run smoothly, and keep people motivated.”

The Free State basketball program has 40 freshmen through seniors. It’s important to Law to keep the kids motivated and encourage them to become the best they can be. Despite often working 16-hour days, he still enjoys his role and interaction with the kids, and recently earned a master’s degree in liberal arts from Baker University.

“It’s important for me to keep learning and improving myself,” he says.

“The kids keep me energized, and our whole team does our very best to develop the team’s talents. As a coach I keep reminding myself it’s the kids who do the hard physical work, and they’re the ones who have to go on the court and play. The focus needs to be on the team, not the coach.”

The basketball team meets weekly for dinner as a relationship-building exercise, and during recent snowfalls Law led the team around the neighborhood to shovel snow for those unable to do it themselves.

“It’s important to lead by example,” he says.

But Mulich found an attorney who would tackle the case for little money. She won.

“Theirs looked like a coffee mug, which mine has claims for,” says Mulich. “We have 18 claims. Anything that looks like it, or does it, is mine, and that’s where people get infringed.”

Mulich donates $1 of every sale to Wayside Waifs, the largest no-kill shelter in Kansas City, Mo. “I think it’s a really smart tool for pet owners,” says Ashlee Parker, communications manager for Wayside Waifs. “I have a dog, and I just dread days like this when it’s wet outside because I know I’m going to get a mess inside.”

Wayside Waifs places more than 5,000 animals into homes each year. The adoption center commonly swoops in to rescue animals from shelters that use euthanasia to control populations. Recently, Mulich, an animal lover, adopted a Lab-pit bull mix from Wayside Waifs named Callie Rose. A 3-month old puppy, Callie keeps Mulich on her feet.

“She’s hyper all the time,” Mulich says.

“It’s good because she gets me to go out, besides going to class. I walk her all the time.”

Katie Mulich donates $1 of every sale to Wayside Waifs, the largest no-kill shelter in Kansas City, Mo. She also recently adopted a Lab and pit bull mix from the shelter, Callie.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY sophomore Katie Mulich created Paw Wash when she was 12 for her school science project. After inserting a dog’s paw into the device, pump it up and down to pull off dirt and mud. The device comes in two sizes for large and small paws.

After the walks, Mulich cleans Callie’s paws with the Paw Wash.

Buyers of the product tend to be enthusiastic dog lovers. Among them is Allison Szasz, who has a Lab mix named Buddy.

“My dog wants to go outside a million times a night, and right now our yard is half-snow, half-mud,” says Szasz. “I got tired of all the towel stuff, and the Paw Wash is pretty awesome so far.”

Then there’s Sue Curry, who was so smitten with the Paw Wash after using it on her golden retriever, Gannon, she joined the company.

“I so loved the way it completely cleaned his paws (and they are big) after his daily walks that I asked ... how I could become involved in working for the company,” says Curry. “It really is a benefit not only to your house, no muddy dog footprints everywhere, but for your pet's health, too.”

A film studies major at KU, Mulich has decided to minor in business so she can better handle business decisions. Over break she created a Facebook page for the business, she’s been doing spots on local news programs, and she’s spent time working on the website, www.thepawwash.com. She’s busy, and hopeful.

And the grade Mulich earned for her science fair project eight years ago? An A.

A pub favorite enhances rich cheesecake

I

woke up one day with the idea for this recipe. Who doesn’t wake up thinking about cheesecake and beer? I’m not sure what that says about me. But I do have a good reason.

I had some leftover Guinness in my fridge after making my friend a chocolate stout cake for her birthday and was thinking about how to use it. And a cheesecake came to my mind while getting out of bed.

Obviously this would be my first thought, not just drinking it.

In college, I went through a cheesecake phase. I baked a lot of cheesecakes, which led to my purchase of my first springform pan, a life-changing experience. I even have a whole book with just cheesecake recipes.

I haven’t baked as many recently — as I’m just coming off my pie-baking phase — but this seemed like a fun idea to try to perfect for St. Patrick’s Day, which is just around the corner.

My book with all the cheesecake recipes, “Cheesecake Extraordinaire” by Mary Crownover, has a whole chapter dedicated to beverage-based cheesecakes, but nothing with stout beer. So I adapted a mocha cheesecake recipe. Chocolate and coffee pair well with Guinness.

For the crust, I substituted graham cracker crumbs for the crushed vanilla wafers because I already had some in my cabinet. The first time I made it, I left the instant coffee in, but the second time, I omitted it. I wanted to try it both ways, but it’s up to you how strong you want the coffee flavor. There is also coffee in the ganache on top.

In the filling, I omitted the coffee and added the Guinness. The original recipe called for whipping cream. But when it came time to add it, I panicked. I had visions of a cocktail dancing in my head. If you’ve ever taken too long to drink an Irish Car Bomb, you know what happens. The Irish cream curdles in the Guinness. Yeck.

No one wants a curdled cheesecake.

GUINNESS CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE

So I did what every good chef would do, I Googled it. I read about cream and cocktails and acid and fat content. I’m no expert, so I just left the whipping cream out. Just in case. But then I had another slight moment of panic when I added the Guinness to the cream cheese mixture. No worries though. I just kept right on stirring.

There was no curdling.

Making the ganache for the top was drama-free. The original recipe called for shortening. I substituted cream to make it a mocha ganache, which is chocolate melted in cream. How can you go wrong with chocolate, coffee and cream?

One of my friends I’ve known since college said this cheesecake is her favorite thing I’ve ever baked. Now I don’t want to hype it too much, but I’d recommend skipping the curdling cocktail and going straight for this on St. Patrick’s Day.

FILLING 24 ounces cream cheese 1/3 sugar 5 teaspoons cornstarch 3 eggs 1 egg yolk 1/2 cup Guinness 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips Combine cream cheese, sugar and cornstarch. Beat until smooth. Add eggs and egg yolk, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add Guinness and vanilla. Stir until well-combined. Stir in melted chocolate. Pour mixture over crust.

Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Lower the temperature to 200 degrees and bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until the center no longer looks wet or shiny. Remove the cake from the oven and run a knife around the inside edge of the pan. Turn the oven off. Return the cake to the oven for an additional hour. Chill, uncovered, overnight.

Guinness Chocolate Cheesecake CRUST 1 1/4 cups crushed graham crackers 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder 1/4 cup butter, melted 1 teaspoon instant coffee (optional) In a bowl, stir together graham cracker crumbs, cocoa and coffee (if you are using it). Add melted butter. Stir together until well-combined. Press mixture evenly on the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.

GLAZE 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips 4 tablespoons of heavy whipping cream 1 teaspoon instant coffee In a small saucepan, melt chocolate chips in cream over low heat, stirring constantly. Stir in coffee until dissolved. Spread the warm mixture over the cheesecake. Chill until serving time.

Facebook assumes troubling role in relationship problems Wes: A few weeks ago as I sat in my office eating lunch and responding to e-mail, I realized that all four of my morning clients had discussed problems related to Facebook. Obviously I’m cloaking all confidential details, but one woman lost her husband to somebody he’d met on Facebook.

A teen admitted that her grades were dropping because she was addicted to Facebook, especially the farm game. One person felt her spouse was too flirtatious while online.

After lunch the trend continued. A college girl’s best friend had, purely as a joke, gotten on her Facebook when she was away and changed her status to “Going into Rehab.” It stuck for several hours before the girl caught it. She not amused, nor was her family. Her minister called to say that he was praying for her.

This trend continued throughout the day until seven out of eight clients had shared a problem that either was directly related to Facebook or had some indirect connection (e.g., “So then he Facebooked me and said, ‘I don’t want to be in a serious relationship,’ and then he unfriended me!”). I finally asked my last clients of the day if they were here to talk about Facebook. The couple said, “No, but we could if you want to. We’ve got issues there, too.”

On the way home NPR said “The Social Network” might win best picture at the Oscars. Later the news anchors described how Facebook was an essential element in the unrest in Egypt. That night I had a dream about Facebook. It had eaten the world. OK. I made that part up, but the rest is true, even if I scrambled the stories to protect the innocent.

I asked the college girl if her fake trip to rehab didn’t justify resigning Facebook.

She looked at me with great wisdom in her eyes and said, “No. You have to understand that Facebook is just a tool. You can use a hammer to drive a nail or hit yourself in the head with it.”

Good point. But in each of these stories and a hundred others, I’ve reached one conclusion: Our power has greatly exceeded our ethics, and nowhere is that truer than on Facebook, where anyone of any age has his or her very own newspaper with worldwide distribution and zero editorial

Double Take

BEN MARKLEY AND WES CRENSHAW control. So my advice this week is simple: Think before you click. As the circumstances in Egypt confirm this week, we common folk have never held in our hands (and trackpads) anything close to the power of Facebook. For teens and adults, now would be a good time to reflect on how to use it. I’d aim for the nail, not the forehead.

Ben: Social networking. Does it bring us closer or push us apart? People can’t seem to agree on that, but we do agree about one thing: Social networking is not an adequate replacement for actual relationships.

Reality is a different thing. There isn’t a button I can click to create or accept a friendship; relationships are tricky. They can be awkward or burdensome. Our close friends are often our harshest critics as well as our greatest comforts. Facebook is great for keeping in touch; it’s also a great way to waste time and avoid real-life communication. It’s a complement to socializing, not the stuff itself. Scissors are great for cutting paper, but you can’t cut down trees with them.

It’s not a bad thing. We just need to use it for the right reasons.

Next week: A senior finds out he and his girl aren’t going to the same college.

5K

BY CHANSI LONG

AND R BEYOND

Go from inactive to running your first race in 2011

unning can be intimidating. But with a little consistency, and a lot of determination, even the out-of-shape can train to run a 5k.

A 5k race is 3.1 miles, and it’s a great distance for people who want to edge into running with a shorter race.

According to experienced runners, nearly everyone, barring injuries or disability, can run a 5k eventually. For some, it might take as little as four to six weeks of running to finish a 5k at a decent pace.

PICK THE RIGHT RACE

Kevin Anderson/Journal-World Photos

DEE BOECK has been a runner for 33 years. She says when she began competing, there wasn’t much variety in women’s running shoes and gears, but that’s changed over the years.

Paul Boone, a cross country coach at Eudora, says to study the descriptions of all the upcoming races in the area in order identify the one for you. Some things to think about are whether you would like to race on a road or a trail, whether you would like to stay in town or travel to another location, and whether you would like to compete with few or many people. If it’s your first race, it might be a good idea to go for an event with slimmer participation.

“Determine what you want in a race,” Boone says. “Pick a first race that has a good track record."

Some races are designed to benefit charities. This, for some people, can provide added inspiration to participate.

And there are other strategies to reach that goal.

Boeck advises beginners to run until they can’t anymore, and only then to walk. She also suggests strength training on the days you’re not running.

Ideally, though, you should be able to maintain a conversation while you're running; your breath should never be ragged or frantic.

BOECK, who had knee surgery for the first time in January for a torn meniscus, hopes to be running again at 100 percent in the next month. She also rides her bicycle around town and to her part-time job.

It’s also easier to become mentally fatigued. Easing into running by completing shorter distances can make the sport more sustainable over time.

Start walking. Hodges says that, if you’re not a runner, walk for 20 to 30 minutes a day at a comfortable pace.

When that’s a breeze, add in running intervals. Walk for two minutes, then jog for a minute.

When you’ve mastered that, jog for two minutes, then walk for one minute for the duration of a

SET YOURSELF UP FOR SUCCESS Establish a running schedule. Pick the days you plan to run in advance, dedicating at least 3 to 4 days a week to running, with rest days in between. After you’ve drafted your running schedule, stick to it: Soreness, injury, and ice are the only obstacles that should keep you from running.

And to ensure accountability, inform friends and family members of your plans. Rallying support is one way to keep morale high. If possible, get a workout partner, someone who will run the race with you, preferably, or at the very least, someone to go the gym or race trail with.

And allow yourself to be proud or what you’re doing.

“Understand there will be ups and downs, but relish in the fact that you are getting better and more fit daily,” Boone says.

awrence resident Diane Guthrie remembers sailing with her husband, Jim, and father-in-law, “Captain Bob” Guthrie years ago.

“We spent a lot of time sailing the Great Lakes,” she says. “But my goal at that time was to stay out of the way and to work on my tan.”

Several years ago, however, after Guthrie’s husband purchased his own sailboat, her goals changed.

“Now that we own one, I’d like to learn how to actually sail it,” she says.

Fortunately, for Guthrie, there is a place for her. Right here in Kansas. Right now, in the middle of winter.

The group is the Sailing Sisters, and they meet monthly from January to April to hone their sailing skills.

“We have women from all over,” says leader Joan Allen, Leawood.

“Some are experienced blue water sailors, and others are complete beginners.”

Upcoming classes: 2:30 p.m. optional refresher on knot tying, 3 p.m.-5 p.m. regular class, Saturday, March 26 and April 16 Where: Kansas City Sailing, 725 N. Second St. Cost: Free, but canned food donations requested

The group was Allen’s brainchild and came about after being on the lake with a friend. “(We) pushed off from the beach at Perry Yacht Club and settled into a warm, wet and wonderful afternoon in the sun.

Feeling completely spoiled with the cooler safely strapped to the mast, conversation turned to how much fun this was and how we needed to get more women out on the water sailing.

“It is unfortunate (how many) times women take the back seat to their male counterparts when sailing,” Allen says.

“Usually it is the husband or boyfriend who gets the sailing bug and drags along his reluctant wife or girlfriend who is unsure of a tippy boat out on the water in windy conditions.”

Allen set out to change that.

The group has evolved over the years and started as a women’s-only sailing day at Perry Yacht Club. That day, 40 women sailed 11 boats ranging from an 11-foot Sunfish to a 32-foot Catalina, and Allen wasn’t the only one to see the benefits of the endeavor. “I think the men saw that if their spouses learned to love sailing, then they would in turn get to spend more time sailing and have a better time on the water, too,” she says.

Winter months are long for those in the Kansas sailing world. “We miss sailing and our sailing friends,” Allen says. To combat that problem, she and her friends began to think about getting together during the off-season, not only to see one another, but also so they could improve their skills but, she says, “we needed someone to teach us.”

Enter Bruce Liese, a man who is as passionate about teaching as he is about sailing, and a man who is an instructor evaluator for the American Sailing Association

THE SAILING SISTERS CLASS meets at Kansas City Sailing, 725 N. Second St.

and a licensed U.S. Coast Guard Merchant Marine captain. “I’ve spent all of my adult life teaching and sailing,” he says.

Sailing Sisters is a way to bring both of his loves together.

But Liese doesn’t spend all of his time on the water: He is a professor of family medicine at the University of Kansas Medical Center, member of the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission and owner of a sailboat dealership in North Lawrence, Kansas City Sailing.

Liese understands how sailing can get into a person’s blood. While doing his residency in Kansas City, “I used to look out the window, and whenever I would see

those trees swaying, I was planning my escape.”

His escape, in those days, was to the lake at Shawnee Mission Park on a rented sailboat.

Since then he has sailed all over the United States and in other countries such as Canada, Mexico, Italy and Israel, and he joyfully shares his triumphs, as well as his failures, to all those interested in sailing.

Sailing Sister Kathy Perkins, Lawrence, who sails a Catalina 375, enjoys the classes at Liese’s store and his creative teaching methods. “We have played Jeopardy, and sometimes he gives us these ‘mystery objects,’ which are different parts of the

{11

boat, and we have to try and figure out what they are by looking around the shop.

“Every class has a different focus, from learning about the different parts of a boat, to understanding points of sail and sailing theory,” Perkins says. “There is something about a group of supportive women. I think it is less intimidating for some, and there is definitely a different dynamic.”

The next class is titled Sailing Lessons Learned the Hard Way, and perhaps Liese will tell the sisters about his first sailboat.

“My buddies and I bought it at a yard sale.

It was powder blue, and I think we paid $15 for it … We were so proud of that boat. We took it out to the lake, and it sank!”

Sailors in Kansas know that sailing in this part of the country can be difficult. “It’s not like the steady trade winds in the Virgin Islands,” Perkins says. “It’s tricky sailing in Kansas. The winds are complicated.”

Liese concurs, adding that sailing on a lake is different from sailing on larger bodies of water. “You’re limited how far you take the boat,” Liese says. “You have to continually tack or jibe the boat.”

So, for Guthrie, and others like her, who want to learn how to sail and “navigate a 30-foot sailboat into a slip without smashing into the dock,” there is a supportive group to help them sail the waters of Kansas.

The mascara doesn’t clump, either.

The pitch: Use your regular mascara on your top lashes, then apply this new Clinique mascara with its extra small brush to your teeny tiny bottom lashes. It’ll give them glamour without glopping.

The cons: Do you really need to buy another tube of mascara? And do you really want to carry two mascaras around with you?

The price: $10 at department store Clinique counters.

The bottom line: It works, and if your bottom lashes are important to you, go for it! — MCT Direct

ast week’s sunny Lawrence weather was the perfect inspiration for spring shopping.

portions and tailoring, are now being emphasized. Styles with ruched sleeves, ruffled lapels and fish-tails are more common and on spot for this spring. Essentially, look for a less-boxy, more feminine version of the boyfriend blazer that is still a bit oversized.

TRENCH:

Although the past seasons were heavily influenced by minimalist, utilitarian shapes and designs, designers let loose their spring fever in 2011, showcasing new, trendy shapes on bottom and top. Regardless of color — although I hope it’s a bit brighter than the all-drab grey-and-winterblack wardrobes that are ubiquitous right now — pay attention to the shape of each garment.

Although the trench coat won’t receive the boot anytime soon … or ever … small updates keep this classic jacket modern and in-style. Look for a shapely trench coat with domed shoulders for the most up-todate version. For another fun alternative to the trench coat, look for a lightweight driving coat in an empire-fit or A-line cut. Both of these jackets are trendy and figurefriendly options.

BLAZER: Update last fall’s boyfriend blazer with an equally versatile jacket. Still look for an oversized blazer, but now pay attention to details — small changes perhaps previously overlooked by most boyfriends anyhow.

VOLUMINOUS BLOUSES: Blouses of all types that focus on volume are a key wardrobe item this spring.

Shapes that parallel the billowing, voluminous peasant tops of the 1970s made a comeback on spring 2011 runways.

Seek out shirts that utilize excess fabric and darts to create unique folds and soft, full curves throughout the entire piece. A voluminous effect is particularly trendy around the hips, so pair these tops with sleek, trim trousers or skirts to achieve a balanced look and pleasing shape overall.

Introducing the River City roller

River City Jules

or all my fellow Gen X-ers who find themselves sitting around with friends, grumbling about how times have changed, lamenting the passing of their acid-washed, Karma Chameleon childhoods as kids these days bop along with their flat-billed hats and nanopods right before you yell at them to get off your lawn, I have found a time machine guaranteed to take you back and make you feel totally awesome again, if only for two glorious hours: the skating rink.

Luke and Caroline were invited to a birthday party, and I, having little else to do on a Sunday afternoon, tagged along.

Immediately upon opening the highly secure door I was hit with that old familiar smell of sweaty feet and Bananarama. The same brown high-top roller skates with orange wheels and frayed laces waited for me on the same carpet-covered counter manned by the same 20-year-old attendant who was at my own Skateland South from the ’70s and ’80s.

Only this time he called me “ma’am.”

My nerves were on edge as I laced up.

Would I remember how to go? Would I remember how to stop? Would I remember all my old moves with such fervor that I finally follow my heart’s very first dream and hit the pro-am roller skating circuit, creating my own Hamill-camel and catapulting the art to such popularity that everyone will want my haircut and Clairol will pay for my highlights?

“Mom, can you help me?” Caroline asked, wobbling to her feet and breaking up the fight Shaun Cassidy, George Michael and Sting were having over me (and my new highlights) in my head. I grabbed her hand and led her onto the disco light laden floor, marveling at how my taste has matured over the years, just as Cyndi Lau-

per hit the speakers.

And girls, they wanna have fu-un, oh girls…

“You know the words?!?” Caroline exclaimed in awe to her suddenly-cool mom dancing in the dark and, apparently, singing out loud.

The rink did not disappoint. There was Jessie, who could skate backward; his girl, who could turn on one foot; and Jack and Diane skating with their arms criss-crossed in front. I skipped the limbo this time (though, for the record, I once came in second in 1985), but I did do “YMCA,” and we all partied like it was 1999.

Then, like all good things, the Sunday session came to an end, this time with the Snowball. I watched kids pair off, hoping against all odds that the blue-eyed boy I’d walked in with would ask me to skate, but he was hanging with his friends and didn’t even notice me. Which was strangely reassuring, as that was exactly how I remembered every couple skate from my youth playing out before.

So, my dear friends embracing your 40s like you might a cactus, meet me at Sk8away, and we can forget all about our mortgages and wrinkles. I’ll be the one in the corner teasing my bangs, waiting for “Thriller” to begin.

Replace a T&P valve

A

temperature and pressure valve is basically a safety spigot at the top of your hot water tank. This valve releases pressure in the form of steam or hot water when a water heater malfunctions. T&P valves should be checked annually to assure the safe operation of any water heater. Lift the metal tab on the top of the valve to release a small amount of hot water, then close the valve. If the valve fails to release water, releases steam or leaks after you close it, it is time to replace the valve.

Step 1: Turn the thermostat completely down (not off) on gas water heaters or for electric heaters; turn the power off at the main electrical panel. If possible, allow the water in the tank to cool for several hours before proceeding.

Step 2: Shut off the heater’s cold water supply and open a hot water sink faucet nearby. Attach a garden hose rated for hot water to the heater’s drain valve. If the floor drain is near the hot water heater, a washing machine hose may suffice. Drain enough water from the tank to allow for the safe removal of the T&P valve. If the water is rusty or filled with sediment, drain the water until it runs clear. Once the tank has

been partially drained, shut off the drain valve and turn off the nearby sink faucet that was open.

Step 3: Test the pressure and water level of the heater by lifting the metal tab on the T&P valve. Let any additional water or steam flow out of the overflow tube. Close the T&P valve before proceeding.

Step 4: Remove the overflow tube attached to the T&P valve and use a pipe wrench to unscrew the T&P valve by turning it counterclockwise.

Step 5: Wrap the threads of the new T&P valve with Teflon tape, or coat the threads with joint compound. Screw the new valve into place, being careful to align the valve opening in roughly the same position as the old valve.

Step 6: Reinstall the overflow tube.

Step 7: Turn the water heater’s cold water supply back on and allow hot water to run from the nearest faucet for several minutes to release any air that may be trapped in the heater.

Step 8: Turn the power back on, check for leaks and make note to test the valve next year.
