Gas prices approach record highs
Paid $3.139 at Wally World in S.Central Ark for a fill-up yesterday, including their store credit card discount. I think it's up about 10¢ only in the past week, nothing like what Lawrence is seeing.

Lawhorn's Lawrence: Westie, the wheelchair ramp champion
Westie and Dorothy were some of my late Mom's best supporters in her later years, she never needed a wheelchair ramp, but Dorothy would show up a couple of times a month to take Mom out to lunch. They even drove her to our summer cabin in the Smokies once, but had to cut the trip short when our spring dried up. They used to be active square dancers with my folks, I guess the exercise prolonged her life and is keeping both of them going. Way to go Westie! Ty Travis, Pine Bluff, Ark.

Bill Self: Transfer Hunter Mickelson a ‘poor-man’s’ Jeff Withey
I'm a KU grad living in Arkansas, so my wife and I follow both teams. Hunter was one of her favorite U of A players, clean-cut and a decent soph player. When he announced he was leaving the U of A, we hoped he might choose KU, needless to say we were overjoyed at the news. Not many conflicts for us, the two teams play very seldom (I think UA won in 2005 in Maui.) Nice catch, Bill, get him thru boot camp and a year of practice and you'll have a good one in 2014!

Lawrence man arrested on suspicion of stealing phone from pedestrian
If they're fast, they can go to the nearest mall buyback kiosk, drop the stolen phone in a hopper, and get instant cash for the phone. Many of these wind up overseas. Looks like this one didn't get that far...

KU freshman Rio Adams to transfer
This surprised me a little bit...Hey, Bill, we're behind you 100%, but you learn from watching your team's mistakes and improve, not in confirming what you did right in a game you won. Could have done a lot better vs UM, still can't watch the last 10 minutes myself, but I'm not a coach. Good luck Rio, thanks for all the effort you put in, will be behind the team all the way next season.

'Bragging rights': KU takes Big 12 tourney title with 70-54 win over Kansas State
After watching a game or two in Hoch Auditorium., my dad somehow scored tickets to Wilt's first game against Northwestern. Later that year, we watched the famous KU-UNC triple overtime game on a tiny 12" b/w TV, coincidentally with friends who were visiting from North Carolina, where I was born and we still have a summer home. My wife from Taiwan is now a total Jayhawk convert. Hope we can go deep! Tournament championships are nice, but those are only a few games, I like the sustained effort of a regular season championship.

ISU coach Fred Hoiberg impressed by Elijah Johnson, says late no-call 'didn't go our way'
Hoiberg is class, so is Self. We've been playing these guys since at least 1908, well before the Big-6 even started, with several games against the "Des Moines YMCA" before that. True, EJ's late dunk showed a lack of class, and they will remember this if we face them in the tournament, just like we remembered Smart's flip for OSU. Still, EJ's late slam could be written off to the fact that we were on an incredible O/T emotional roll, and you don't just switch these things off. Their fans throwing stuff on the court and one of their fans menacing Self were more significant to me. One of my favorite KU games ever, my wife and I had just about packed it in in the last few minutes of regulation, we need to bottle this comeback medication!

100 years ago: LHS delivers 'surprise of the season' to KU basketball team
My brother just sent me an EBay listing of an early Lawrence post card showing the YMCA in Lawrence before it became WREN. I promptly bought it. Send me your e-mail address and I will send you a copy of the listing. Ty Travis, Pine Bluff, AR

100 years ago: LHS delivers 'surprise of the season' to KU basketball team
The Old W.R.E.N. Bldg on the NE Cor of 8th and Vt was built in 1910, and burned in 1969, according to My copy of Dary's pictorial history of Lawrence, p.284. It was originally built as a YMCA, so the gym was probably located there, it would have been in existence in 1913. While I was growing up it held the Chamber of Commerce, and two big "Wrenny Birds" guarded the front entrance. I think the initials on the front originally said "YMCA," but were changed later when the radio station moved in and added the birds.

100 years ago: LHS delivers 'surprise of the season' to KU basketball team
Sarah~ Where was this court? I have a reference to the YMCA upstairs over the old Poehler Headquarters, SE Cor Warren (later 9th) and Mass, DCB was later located there. There was also a Gym at the SE Cor of (Henry) 8th and VT, in the Fraternal Aid Bldg which burned several years later. Surprised KU didn't play in their then-new Robinson Gym.
