“This is our first time in 42 years that we’ve undertaken a capital campaign,” Wilson said.

The Lawrence school board will discuss the proposal at its Monday meeting.

The club is asking the board to allow it to say during the fundraising campaign that the proposed site for the center would be on district property in the 2900 block of Haskell Avenue.

“We are just exploring this partnership,” Wilson said. “This is not a done deal by any stretch.”

Ground broke for the 33,000-square-foot College and Career Center in September.

The facility comes at a price of $5.7 million and is scheduled to open in August.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY JUNIORS AND FREE STATE HIGH GRADUATES Nathan Devin, left, and Zach Mehl, both of Lawrence, enjoy some happy hour beers Thursday at Merchants Pub and Plate, 746 Mass. St. Gov. Sam Brownback has proposed a 50 percent increase in state taxes on liquor.

Plan would raise alcohol tax by 50 percent

I

n the town named the most hungover city in America this month by Business Insider, Gov. Sam Brownback’s proposal to raise taxes on alcohol and tobacco products would have little effect on vices, several residents said last week.

To deal with projected budget shortfalls of more than $710 million in the current budget and in the next

fiscal year, Brownback proposes almost tripling the taxes on cigarette and tobacco products and raising the alcohol tax by 50 percent. Under his plan, the state is projected to raise $394 million over two years.

“It would hurt,” said Steven Berger, owner of Wine Cellar liquor store at 2100 W. 25th St. “Everything would go up at least 4 percent for the customer, and that’s not any profit for us, that’s passed on to the state,” Berger said.

The current alcohol tax in Kansas is 8 percent. Brownback’s plan would increase it to 12 percent. At Berger’s store, where a 30-pack of Pabst Blue Ribbon cans costs $20 including tax, the new price would be about $20.75.

But while the tax increase might affect consumers’ wallets, Berger said he doesn’t see a price increase changing consumption.

“It’s like gasoline,” Berger said.

Flight training is restored at Wichita company hit by plane Wichita (ap) — A pilot training center that was hit by an airplane at a Wichita airport last year has resumed all of its programs, a company official said.

A Beechcraft King Air B200 crashed into the roof of one of FlightSafety’s Cessna Pilot Learning Center buildings on Oct. 30, killing the pilot and three people who were inside the center.

Six other people were injured in the accident at Wichita Mid-Continent Airport, which is now called Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport.

FlightSafety has Cessna learning centers in

three buildings at the airport, including the one that was damaged.

The center at the airport trains pilots on several Cessna Citation business jets and Caravan airplanes. Training on other Cessna aircraft is offered at different simulation centers.

All programs offered before the accident have been restored at the company’s Learning Center in Wichita as well as at offices in Orlando, Florida; San Antonio, Texas; and Farnborough, England, FlightSafety spokesman Steve Phillips told The Wichita Eagle.

The pilot, Mark Gold-

stein, 53, of Wichita, declared an emergency about a minute after taking off, saying he had “lost the left engine,” according to the preliminary report from the National Transportation Safety Board.

Goldstein, a contract pilot, was flying the aircraft to Mena, Arkansas, for painting and interior refurbishing work. The airplane was registered and operated by Gilleland Aviation in Georgetown, Texas, according to the NTSB. An NTSB spokesman said Wednesday the investigation into the crash continues.

LAWRENCE CITY COMMISSION Agenda highlights • 5:45 p.m. Tuesday • City Hall, Sixth and Massachusetts streets • WOW! Channel 6 • Meeting documents online at lawrenceks.org

Arts corridor plan up for vote BOTTOM LINE Lawrence city commissioners will consider approving a contract with Kansas City-based el dorado incorporated to conduct preliminary design work on a project to convert a portion of Ninth Street into an arts-based corridor.

BACKGROUND The proposed contract is for about $294,000, plus out-of-pocket expenses, for el dorado and its team of consultants to do preliminary design work for the project, which is the portion on Ninth Street east of Massachusetts. The contract includes multiple meetings, steering committees and other efforts to get feedback from the East Lawrence Neighborhood Association, artists, downtown businesses and residents and other stakeholders.

OTHER BUSINESS Consent agenda

• Approve City Commission meeting minutes from 12/16/14 and 12/30/14.

• Receive minutes from various boards and commissions: • Approve all claims. The list of approved claims will be posted to the agenda the day after the City Commission meeting.

• Approve licenses as recommended by the City Clerk’s Office.

• Bid and purchase items: a) Set a bid date of Feb. 17, 2015 for Bid No. B1502, Project UT1409 — Avalon Road Water Replacement, Ninth Street to Cambridge Road. b) Set a bid date of Feb. 24, 2015 for Bid No. B1501, Project UT1416 — Kaw & Clinton Water Treatment Plant Roof Replacements. c) Authorize a purchase order, in the amount of $80,249.40, to Harris ERP Software, for 2015 Innoprise ERP Software maintenance.

Sixth St. b) Ordinance No. 9070, to rezone (Z-1400458) approximately 120.6 acres located at 6200 W. Sixth St.

Tax CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

“People will still drive when the prices go up.”

Geoff Deman, head of downtown brewing for Free State Brewery, said that if the tax proposal is passed, Free State will likely have to increase its prices.

Currently, a pint of Free State beer will set you back $4. A higher tax rate would be passed on to the consumer.

Kansas University student and Lawrence native Nathan Devin, 24, said if bars passed the cost on to their consumers, it wouldn’t affect his drinking habits too much.

Devin said he enjoys the occasional beer when out with friends, but they plan their social outings around bars’ drink specials, such as those at Merchants Pub and Plate, 746 Massachusetts St.

“It would be a bummer if Merchants’ happy hour beers went from $2 to $3, but I can’t see that kind of jump,” Devin said.

With cigarette and tobacco prices tripling, perhaps the people most affected by the sin tax increases would be smokers, Low Cost Tobacco Mart employee James O’Kelly said. Brownback’s plan would raise the cigarette tax from 79 cents per pack to $2.29 per pack.

Taxes on other tobacco products would go from 10 percent to 25 percent.

At O’Kelly’s workplace, 2104 W. 25th St., the most popular — and most expensive — cigarettes are regular Marlboros at $5.89 a pack with tax. Under the proposed increase, the pack would cost $7.39.

That price might inspire smokers to try a different cigarette brand or method of smoking, but O’Kelly said he didn’t think it would make people quit.

“Most of the smokers I’ve seen or heard of are in poverty themselves,” O’Kelly

said. “Everybody is going to switch to the cheaper brands or roll their own.”

The frugal smoker might hop the border to purchase tobacco, O’Kelly said. In Missouri, the cigarette tax is 17 cents per pack.

Berger said the same concept applies to liquor stores. In Missouri, the state sales tax on alcohol is 4.23 percent. “(The tax increase) would hurt especially on the state line,” Berger said.

“When I managed a business in Kansas City, customers would go to Missouri for the lower prices over there.”

For that reason, and because he predicts consumers will begin purchasing cheaper booze, Berger said he doubted Brownback’s proposal would actually bring in the $394 million projected.

“The more you tax it, the less you’ll make in the long run because (customers) will price down,” Berger said. “In the end, I think taxes will stay stagnant.”

Center CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Its mission is to develop students’ skills for demanding, high-paying jobs by offering tuition-free, college credit classes with instruction from business and industry professionals.

The center will sit next door to the developing Dwayne Peaslee Technical Education Center for adults, which is set to operate out of the former Honeywell Industries building.

Proponents are still gathering funding for that project.

Lawrence schools Superintendent Rick Doll said the addition of a teen center would not force major redesigns of the campus forming there.

“An enhanced teen center would improve after-school programming opportunities for adolescents,” he said.

Wilson said the idea behind a new teen center is to

involve more students, particularly middle and high schoolers, in after-school club activities. About 200 students from middle and high school are club members and Wilson would like to see that number grow to 1,000, he said.

“We want to keep kids involved, keep them in mentoring programs beyond elementary school,” Wilson said. “I think we are trying to meet the needs.

There’s 1,000 to 1,500 kids that are not engaged in anything after school.”

Wilson couldn’t say how

large the building would be or how soon he hopes to build it.

The space at the current teen center, at 1520 Haskell Ave., accommodates up to 75 kids. Wilson said a new building would allow for up 250 and would be able to serve them all hot meals.

The club was originally interested in creating a new teen center somewhere near a new police headquarters on McDonald Drive. That idea was dropped after voters rejected financing for that plan last fall.

In a mass of sequins, short dresses, tall boots and big hair, the 10 contestants of the Transformations Charity Gala danced their way to the stage Saturday evening at Liberty Hall, 644 Massachusetts St. Each of the contestants represented a local charity and competed for the chance to win a $10,000 donation.

Lip-synching drag performers entertained the audience while the contestants changed into their evening gowns for the competition.

A panel of five judges ranked the contestants according to three categories: glamour, talent and Q&A. The competition also allowed members of the audience to text in their votes for the people’s choice award.

Contestants were Morgan Swartzlander, Daryl Bugner, Wendy Smith, Sarah Lockwood, Tina Mengler, Starr Pugh, Lindsay Buck, Jamie Simpson, Becca Burns and Amber Temple.

The charities represented by the contestants were Trinity In-Home Care, Just Food, Headquarters, Theatre Lawrence, Ballard Community Services, Visiting Nurses, Preston Scheibler Memorial, Independence Inc., Willow Domestic Violence Center and Cooper’s Cause.

The contest winners’ identities were not available at the Journal-World’s press time.

Sudden lung disease can’t slow down semi-retired businessman’s active life

By Elliot Hughes Twitter: @elliothughes12

Unless you’re actually looking for the oxygen tank that Joe Nobo carries around, you could go several minutes without noticing it.

Last week, he strolled into an exercise room at Lawrence Memorial Hospital and immediately turned to the rest of the room, ready to poke fun at any familiar face within 20 feet.

“You,” he said to an elderly gentleman — his neighbor, actually — as he rode a bike. “I do not need to see you.”

He turned to everyone else as laughter bubbled.

“I have to deal with him on a regular basis.”

But there it is, in his hand, inside a soft black sleeve, like some kind of large holder for a thermos. He has clear oxygen tubes threaded over his ears and into his nostrils.

Nobo, 69, has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD, which makes it difficult for him to breathe. This period of his life, where he is bound to the tank 24 hours a day, began five years ago in a flip-of-the-switch moment.

He woke up on Thanksgiving morning feeling normal. Then he was overcome with sweating and passed out.

At its Monday meeting, the Lawrence school board will be asked to approve a partnership that would allow students to take Kansas University classes at Lawrence and Free State high schools.

Patrick Kelly, the district’s director of career and technical education, said that with board approval, the two schools SCHOOLS could offer KU’s English 101 and Algebra 101 courses as soon as the 2015-16 school year, depending on staff availability and funding.

“That’s a great opportunity to prepare (students) for whatever’s next,” Kelly said.

Lawrence students have long been able to enroll in KU classes through the district, but those classes have taken place on KU’s campus. The proposed agreement would allow Lawrence public school faculty to teach the classes.

College credit courses are already available within Lawrence’s high schools through several other institutions such as Johnson County Community College and Washburn University, Kelly said. But those involve technical education. This would be the first time core classes would be offered for college credit.

In other business, the board will discuss graduation rates by gender.

The board meets at 7 p.m. at the district’s offices, 110 McDonald Drive.

Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley from Topeka said at Friday’s news conference that he believes Brownback’s proposal to repeal the current school funding formula and allocate funds to school districts directly was unconstitutional, and said he raised his concerns in a meeting with governor earlier in the week.

“I believe the school finance formula has stood the test of time, but what hasn’t stood the test of time is the Legislature’s commitment to adequately funding the formula,” Hensley said.

Medical professionals at LMH said people with Nobo’s condition are often beaten down with depression. But those who know Nobo, a Cuban immigrant, say he has remained upbeat.

The way he sees it, he’s put in too much work as a semi-retired entrepreneur to see life spoiled.

“You work all your life to get to a certain stage in your life to where you can enjoy it,” he said.

The Lawrence branch of the U.S. Department of Arts and Culture hosted the first of two events Saturday as part of the nationwide People’s State of the Union.

Lawrence is one of about 170 communities participating in the event, which creates story circles to encourage participants to reflect on their personal experiences of “the state of the union” in the wake of President Obama’s Tuesday address. The goal is to have a group conversation, said Dave Loewenstein, cultural agent of the Lawrence branch.

“It’s for us to talk to each other about what’s important in our community and in our country,

so it’s not just a monologue from the president on down, but a back-andforth conversation,” he said.

The U.S. Department of Arts and Culture is not a government agency but rather a network of people who use art and culture as agents for civic and social change, Loewenstein said.

About 20 people participated in the local event at the Lawrence Percolator, 913 Rhode Island St. Participants broke into three groups, each with a scribe and a facilitator.

“Story circles are a way to share individual stories, but more importantly than that, so that we can listen to each other,” Loewenstein said.

The scribes recorded the stories and will be submitting them to an

ect’s advocacy day in the Kansas Statehouse.

The project strongly supports the creation of registered dental practitioners and has unsuccessfully championed legislation in previous years.

Both Fort Hays State University and Wichita State University have supported the creation of dental practitioner programs.

The Kansas Dental Association opposes the measure, however. Di-

rector Kevin Robertson argues the legislation would authorize registered dental practitioners to perform several procedures that are invasive and he expressed concerns training requirements would not be sufficient.

Robertson also noted that the state has added more than 100 dentists in the past few years, with the number of dentists growing from about 1,400 to a little more than 1,500.

I’m thinking that I have five granddaughters, that I want to see them grow up.”

— Joe Nobo, who has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

which, mixed with the COPD, torpedoed his lung function.

“I’m thinking that I have five granddaughters, that I want to see them grow up,” he said.

Nobo learned how to live with his condition.

In the months after his collapse, medication caused his weight to swell by 50 pounds. He said when he entered the pulmonary rehab program at LMH, he was capable of walking at three-fifths of a mile per hour for five minutes at a time.

He’s since dropped the extra weight and can amble on at 1.3 miles per hour for 45 minutes at a time.

His joie de vivre has never suffered. His wife, Missy, said he revels in people’s company so much, he needs an “outlet” to talk to people more.

“We’ve kidded about him being a greeter at Wal-Mart,” she said.

Back at LMH, he turned to address everyone after a photographer stopped by.

“I want you to notice I have my photographer with me,” he said. “I am running for the Republican Party.”

Someone asked him if his health is up for such a task.

“The lungs are not good, but the heart is,” he answered.

State of the State address and said it demanded excessive and inaccurate funding for schools.

House Minority Leader Tom Burroughs of Kansas City said at the news conference that the governor’s proposed budget and tax policies would unfairly favor the wealthy.

“We as Democrats will

not stand idly by and allow Brownback and his legislative colleagues to shift the burden to lowincome and middle-class families. What we will support is a fair, equitable, sustainable tax plan in which everyone pays their fair share,” he said.

However, the Democrats have not drafted an alternative budget plan and Burroughs stopped short of calling for a reversal of the administration’s massive tax cuts that were enacted in 2012 and 2013.

Brownback said in a statement that he’s looking forward to working with the Democrats.

people recycle, or whether we’re collecting a lot of new material that wasn’t being recycled before.”

City officials are optimistic that the curbside program is creating new recyclers. One indication is that very few households have rejected the carts. The city delivered 27,000 carts to households in late 2014. Every household pays a $2.81 fee on utility bills regardless of whether they want the service. Although there is no way for a household to opt out of the monthly fee, households can decline to recycle and request that the city take back its cart.

Richardson said her department expected about 1,000 to 2,000 households to return the carts. Instead, the return number has been closer to 300.

“We have not had much pushback at all,” Richardson said. “Most of what we hear is that they have been waiting for us to offer this service.”

Some facts and figures from the report: l From mid-October through the end of 2014, the city collected 1,227 tons of material in the curbside recycling program. The city compared that number to the previous nine months of collections made by Deffenbaugh Industries, a Kansas City company that ran a private curbside service throughout the city.

In those nine months, Deffenbaugh collected 1,300 tons. Richardson said the city is pleased that it was able to collect nearly as much recycling in three months as Deffenbaugh did in nine, but she noted that the city was collecting from a much larger base. Deffenbaugh, which charged $4.95 a month for recycling, had about 4,500 residential customers.

ST. JOHN CATHOLIC SCHOOL HONOR ROLL St. John Catholic School has announced its middle school Honor Roll for fall 2014.

l Despite the curbside recycling efforts, the total amount of trash taken to the landfill increased from 2013 to 2014. The city hauled 61,556 tons of trash to the landfill last year, up from 61,051 tons in 2013. The amount of money the city paid in landfill fees increased to $1.66 million, up from $1.59 million. l Low market prices

Q: I heard shredded paper needs to be in clear plastic bags. Why is that, and where do I get clear plastic bags?

A: Crews at the recycling center need to be able to see the shredded paper because it has to be removed and processed separately. Most office supply stores and large retailers like Wal-Mart and Target carry the plastic bags. They are usually in the section where paper shredders or office supplies are sold.

Q: Can any type of glass be put into blue bins?

A: No. The program only accepts glass beverage or food containers. Glass windows, vases, Pyrex or other types of glass are not accepted. A place like the 12th and Haskell Recycling Center is more likely to take other types of glass.

Q: The city’s curbside recycling crews come every other week. Is there a way for me to know which week they are to arrive?

A: Yes. The city’s recycling website, lawrencerecycles.org, allows you to sign up for text or e-mail reminders about your week to set out recycling. Or you can type in your address and look up a printable schedule.

for recycled materials meant the city did not receive much money for the materials collected through the curbside program. An agreement with Hamm Inc., which operates the recycling processing facility for the city, calls for Hamm to receive the bulk of the revenue from sales of recycled material, but the city gets a rebate when

prices and volumes reach certain levels. For the two and a half months the program was operational in 2014, the city received $685 for the recycled materials. Richardson said the dollar amounts fell within staff expectations. l The city paid Hamm $45 per ton to operate the recycling facility and $27.04 per ton to accept city trash at the landfill.

l The city continued to operate several drop-off locations where people could leave newspapers, mixed paper, office paper, cardboard and glass.

The city collected about $175,000 by selling those materials, with the bulk of the revenue coming through cardboard sales.

The city runs a program that collects cardboard from several businesses. l Richardson said volume levels did not decline as much as expected at the drop-off locations, which the city will continue to operate for the time being. She said anyone can use them, including rural Douglas County residents, some of whom have expressed concern that recycling may become more difficult when the Wal-Mart on south Iowa Street closes its longtime recycling center at the end of the month. l The city has completed installation of recycling containers at 20 public schools and five private schools.

Deffenbaugh previously provided bins at the schools, but that service was discontinued when the city started its curbside program.

Richardson said staff members continue to explore the feasibility of a curbside recycling program for businesses.

Richardson said she expects the department will deliver a proposal to city commissioners this year.

U.S. ignores Iran’s aggression

EDITORIALS

Education accounting A Kansas Department of Education analysis puts a different slant on the governor’s proposal for K-12 school funding.

T

he devil once again is in the details when it comes to the governor’s budget recommendation for K-12 education.

The governor has claimed that his K-12 funding recommendation for next year is almost equal to the current year’s funding, but a new analysis by the Kansas Department of Education explains how that claim is somewhat deceiving. Even though the governor has expressed the desire to use block grants to get more school funding “into the classroom,” his budget recommendation actually calls for a 4 percent reduction in four key classroom funding categories: general state aid, supplemental state aid, capital outlay aid and the school district finance fund.

K-12 schools will get $127 million less in those categories next year, according to the governor’s budget, according to the education department analysis.

Schools will get an additional $8 million next year under the current law to fund bond and interest on capital improvements and another $6.5 million to maintain the state’s match on federal aid for special education, but they also will be expected to pay $90 million more into the Kansas Public Retirement System to fund their employees’ retirement.

Including KPERS contributions was the way Gov. Brownback justified his campaign claim that his administration had spent a record amount on K-12 education even though per-pupil base aid declined. Retirement payments are a necessary expense for the school district, but they don’t serve the governor’s supposed goal of putting more money into classrooms.

The other major “detail” that remains unclear about the governor’s funding plans is the block grant proposal. His plan is to remove some of the strings attached to state school funding by distributing funds as block grants next year.

The governor has called for the state to throw out its current school finance formula so no one knows for sure how the overall pool of block grant funds will be divided among state school districts.

Senate President Susan Wagle told the Republican caucus Tuesday that the block grants would be based on current funding levels, and the governor’s office was working on a bill that would spell out some of the details.

Those details no doubt will be of interest to the courts, which have been keeping a watchful eye on both the sufficiency and the equity of K-12 funding in Kansas. It will be tricky, at best, to come up with a block-grant program that will satisfy those criteria.

It’s early in the legislative session, and many issues and proposals still are taking shape. Once more details are known, the real debate on the K-12 funding can begin.

Washington — While Iran’s march toward a nuclear bomb has provoked a major clash between the White House and Congress, Iran’s march toward conventional domination of the Arab world has been largely overlooked. In Washington, that is. The Arabs have noticed.

And the pro-American ones, the Gulf Arabs in particular, are deeply worried.

This week, Iranian-backed Houthi rebels seized control of the Yemeni government, heretofore pro-American. In September, they overran Sanaa, the capital. On Tuesday, they seized the presidential palace. On Thursday, they forced the president to resign.

The Houthi have local religious grievances, being Shiites in a majority Sunni land.

But they are also agents of Shiite Iran, which arms, trains and advises them. Their slogan — “God is great. Death to America. Death to Israel” — could have been written in Persian.

Why should we care about the coup? First, because we depend on Yemen’s government to support our drone war against another local menace, al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula. It’s not clear if we can even maintain our embassy in Yemen, let alone conduct operations against AQAP. And second, because growing Iranian hegemony is a mortal threat to our allies and interests in the entire Middle East.

In Syria, Iran’s power is similarly rising. The mullahs rescued the reeling regime of Bashar al-Assad by sending in

Charles Krauthammer letters@charleskrauthammer.com

“

For the Saudis and the other Gulf Arabs, this is a nightmare.

They’re engaged in a titanic regional struggle with Iran.

And they are losing …” weapons, money and Iranian revolutionary guards, as well as by ordering their Lebanese proxy, Hezbollah, to join the fight. They succeeded. The moderate rebels are in disarray, even as Assad lives in de facto coexistence with the Islamic State, which controls a large part of his country.

Iran’s domination of Syria was further illustrated by a strange occurrence last Sunday in the Golan Heights. An Israeli helicopter attacked a convoy on the Syrian side of the armistice line. Those killed were not Syrian, however, but five Hezbollah fighters from Lebanon and several Iranian officials, including a brigadier general.

What were they doing in the Syrian Golan Heights?

Giving “crucial advice,” announced the Iranian government. On what? Well,

three days earlier, Hezbollah’s leader had threatened an attack on Israel’s Galilee.

Tehran appears to be using its control of Syria and Hezbollah to create its very own front against Israel.

The Israelis can defeat any conventional attack. Not so the Gulf Arabs. To the north and west, they see Iran creating a satellite “Shiite Crescent” stretching to the Mediterranean and consisting of Iraq, Syria and Lebanon. To their south and west, they see Iran gaining proxy control of Yemen. And they are caught in the pincer.

The Saudis are fighting back the only way they can — with massive production of oil at a time of oversupply and collapsing prices, placing enormous economic pressure on Iran. It needs $136 oil to maintain its budget. The price is today below $50.

Yet the Obama administration appears to be ready to acquiesce to the new reality of Iranian domination of Syria. It has told The New York Times that it is essentially abandoning its proclaimed goal of removing Assad.

For the Saudis and the other Gulf Arabs, this is a nightmare. They’re engaged in a titanic regional struggle with Iran. And they are losing — losing Yemen, losing Lebanon, losing Syria and watching post-U.S.-withdrawal Iraq come under increasing Iranian domination.

The nightmare would be hugely compounded by Iran going nuclear. The Saudis were already stupefied that

the U.S. conducted secret negotiations with Tehran behind their backs. And they can see where the current talks are headed — legitimizing Iran as a threshold nuclear state.

Which makes all the more incomprehensible President Obama’s fierce opposition to Congress’ offer to strengthen the American negotiating hand by passing sanctions to be triggered if Iran fails to agree to give up its nuclear program. After all, that was the understanding Obama gave Congress when he began these last-ditch negotiations in the first place.

Why are you parroting Tehran’s talking points, Mr. President? asks Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez. Indeed, why are we endorsing Iran’s claim that sanctions relief is the new norm? Obama assured the nation that sanctions relief was but a temporary concession to give last-minute, time-limited negotiations a chance.

Twice the deadline has come. Twice no new sanctions, just unconditional negotiating extensions.

Our regional allies — Saudi Arabia, the other five Gulf states, Jordan, Egypt and Israel — are deeply worried. Tehran is visibly on the march on the ground and openly on the march to nuclear status. And their one great ally, their strategic anchor for two generations, is acquiescing to both.

Europe gets the joke of Fox News Tucker Carlson said on Fox that more children die of bathtub drownings than of accidental shootings.

They don’t.

Steve Doocy said on Fox that NASA scientists faked data to make the case for global warming. They didn’t.

Rudy Giuliani said on Fox that President Obama has issued propaganda asking everybody to “hate the police.”

He hasn’t.

John Stossel said on Fox that there is “no good data” proving secondhand cigarette smoke kills nonsmokers. There is.

So maybe you can see why serious people — a category excluding those who rely upon it for news and information — do not take Fox, well ... seriously, why they dub it Pox News and Fakes News, to name two of the printable variations.

Many of us have gotten used to this. We don’t even bother to protest Fox being Fox. Might as well protest a sewer for stinking.

But the French and the British, being French and British, see it differently.

And that’s what produced the scenario that recently floored many of us.

There was Fox, doing what Fox does, in this case hosting one Steve Emerson, a supposed expert on Islamic extremist terrorism, who spoke about so-called “no go” zones in Europe — i.e., areas of Ger-

Naturally, Fox did not question this outrageous assertion — in fact, it repeated it throughout the week — and most of us, long ago benumbed by the network’s serial mendacities, did not challenge Fox. Then, there erupted from Europe the jarring sound of a continent laughing. British Prime Minister David Cameron called Emerson an “idiot.” A French program in the mold of “The Daily Show” sent correspondents — in helmets! — to interview people peaceably sipping coffee in the no-go zones. Twitter went medieval on Fox’s backside. And the mayor of Paris threatened to sue.

Last week, Fox did something Fox almost never does.

It apologized. Indeed, it apologized profusely, multiple times, on air.

The most important takeaway here is not the admittedly startling news that Fox, contrary to all indications, is capable of shame. Rather, it is what the European response tells us about ourselves and our waning capacity for moral indignation with this sort of garbage.

It’s amazing, the things you can get used to, that can come to seem normal. In America, it has come to seem normal that a major news organization functions as the propaganda arm of an extremist political ideology, that it spews a constant stream of racism, sexism, homophobia, Islamophobia, paranoia and manufactured outrage, and that it does so with brazen disregard for what is factual, what is right, what is fair, what is balanced — virtues that are supposed to be the sine qua non of anything calling itself a newsroom.

If you live with aberrance long enough, you can forget it’s aberrance. You can forget that facts matter, that logic is important, that science is critical, that he who speaks claptrap loudly still speaks claptrap — and that claptrap has no place in reasoned and informed debate.

Sometimes, it takes someone from outside to hold up a mirror and allow you to see more clearly what you have grown accustomed to.

This is what the French and the British did for America last week.

For that, Fox owed them an apology. But serious people owe them thanks.

GOP hopefuls stump in Iowa Des Moines, Iowa (ap) — The robust Christian right in early-voting Iowa plays an outsize role in helping determine the Republican presidential nominee, a political reality not lost on the parade of would-be 2016 candidates trying to draw attention at a Saturday gathering of social conservatives.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and many others turned the Iowa Freedom Forum into the unofficial launch of the next campaign for the Iowa caucuses.

The forum’s sponsor, Rep. Steve King of Iowa, opened the event by asking the crowd, “Do you believe that the next president of the United States is going to be speaking to you today?”

The audience erupted in applause.

Among others speaking at the forum were businesswoman Carly Fiorina, Dr. Ben Carson, former vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin and real estate mogul and reality TV star Donald Trump.

t is time of the year to make resolutions for the new year.

Pet owners’ resolutions should be to make sure that their pet gets a checkup with a local veterinarian each and every year.

It is easy to overlook its importance but it is really an essential part of maintaining your pet’s good health. Some signs of disease can be subtle, and a yearly vet check is an opportunity for a veterinarian to pick up on these signs before a developing condition has a chance to become a major problem for your pet.

Dental health is a great example of something that may go unnoticed by pet owners. A complete physical exam should include a dental examination, because dental infections containing bacteria can not only cause pain for your pet but can also result in increased bacteria in the blood stream, which can affect many organs, including the heart.

Many people think that their pets are safe from disease if they don’t go outside or go to dog parks, but the truth is that there are animals carrying disease everywhere. Some of them may be in your own backyard. It is commonly known that raccoons, skunks and other wild

Spain makes 4 terror arrests

Rockets kill 30 in Ukraine

GOP pushes back on gay marriage

Madrid — Spanish National Police arrested four suspected jihadis Saturday in the country’s North African enclave of Ceuta who allegedly had formed a terror cell and were ready to carry out an attack, the Interior Ministry said.

Interior Minister Jorge Fernandez Diaz said investigators, working with their Moroccan counterparts, were struck by the similarities between the suspected cell members and the two French brothers who killed 12 people in an attack upon the Charlie Hebdo newspaper in Paris.

“These are two pairs of very radicalized brothers who are highly trained militarily, physically and mentally and are prepared to carry out an attack, and ready, according to the police, to blow themselves up in the act,” Fernandez Diaz said.

Two houses in Ceuta were searched in Saturday morning police raids and four men, all Spanish citizens of Moroccan origin, were arrested, the agency said.

Officers found an automatic pistol, ammunition, military fatigues, face-concealing hoods, Spanish vehicle license plates, large machetes, knives and documents.

Kiev, Ukraine — Indiscriminate rocket fire slammed into a market, schools, homes and shops Saturday in Ukraine’s southeastern city of Mariupol, killing at least 30 people, authorities said.

The Ukrainian president called the blitz a terrorist attack and NATO and the U.S. demanded that Russia stop supporting the rebels.

Ukrainian officials rushed to defend the strategically important port on the Sea of Azov, beefing up military positions with more equipment and sending in more forces.

The separatists’ top leader declared that an offensive against Mariupol had begun — then later toned down his threats as the scale of the civilian casualties became clear.

President Petro Poroshenko held an emergency meeting of his military officials and cut short a trip to Saudi Arabia to coordinate the government’s response.

“The time has come to name their sponsors. The help given to militants, weapons deliveries, equipment and the training of manpower — is this not aiding terrorism?” Poroshenko said.

Atlanta — A Texas lawmaker would strip the salaries from government officials who honor samesex marriage licenses.

Other states would protect government officials who opt out of performing gay nuptials.

In Georgia, where lawmakers are considering a bill that critics fear could allow businesses to discriminate against gay customers, the former head of the country’s largest Protestant denomination recently urged lawmakers to rein in “erotic liberty.”

The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments in April and could decide by June whether gay couples can marry, and national opinion polls show U.S. voters increasingly unopposed to gay rights. Yet lawmakers in a handful of states are backing longshot legislation targeting gay rights, doubling down on the culture wars. Most, if not all, of the efforts are led by Republicans.

The bills are more political theatre than serious policy.

Few seem to have widespread support among lawmakers, and senior Republicans are not adopting these efforts as their own. In Georgia, well-funded business groups oppose them.

Firebirds push O-East

By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@ljworld.com

Overland Park — Free State’s boys basketball team came up just short in a 53-46 loss to Olathe East in the third-place game of the Saints Classic on Saturday, but FSHS coach Chuck Law was anything but discouraged with how his Firebirds performed. “I thought we played great. That might have been our best game of the year, actually,� Law said. “They (the Eagles) are just so talented, so big and so skilled. We’re right there.�

FSHS junior Hunter Gudde made back-to-back buckets to cut the Free State deficit to 48-46 with 1:07 remaining, but the No. 2-ranked team in 6A closed it out in the final Mike Yoder/Journal-World Photo minute with a breakaway FREE STATE’S JACOB PAVLAYAK (20) takes a scoop shot to dunk from Cameron Huntthe basket against Olathe East on Saturday in Overland Park. er and by making three out

as 12 points in the first half, the Lions tied the game during a 7-0 run in the third quarter. Junior forward Price Morgan started the stretch by following up a missed threepointer from Ben Rajewski with a one-handed tip slam that brought fans to their feet. Bonner also drilled a three, and junior point guard Justin Roberts made two free throws.

But after LHS tied the game with 3:39 left in third quarter, the Aces (12-0) scored on 14 of their next 20 possessions, mostly behind senior point guard Samajae Jones and 6-foot-5 senior forward Zach Jackson.

Jones scored 22 of his team-high 24 points in the second half, helping East to a 69-48 lead midway through the fourth quarter. “It’s real tough, man,� said Bonner, who led the Lions with 24 points, “especially when you’re trying to build momentum.

They just keep hitting. I don’t think we defended the best and made it uncomfortable for them to shoot. The result showed it.�

The Lions (12-1) didn’t fold when faced with their first big deficit of the season. They scored on 10 straight possessions over a three-minute span, cutting East’s 19-point lead to just four with 30 seconds remaining. Bonner scored eight points, and senior John Barbee had seven in a 24-7 run.

But the comeback of the year wasn’t in the cards, as the Aces grabbed a couple of offensive rebounds off missed free throws to prevent the Lions from getting any closer. “We came out with a chip on our shoulders,� said the 6-foot Jones, who scored 15 points in the fourth quarter by using

Meanwhile, the Lions found some offense after shooting 3-for-12 in the first quarter.

As a team, we really buckled down on doubling him. I mean, he’s a good player. It took the team to stop him.�

But the Lions couldn’t keep up with the hotshooting Aces or keep them off of the offensive glass on their misses.

Barnes: Turner better in close

By Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Austin, Texas — Kansas University center Cliff Alexander has had his steps forward and backward, which can be said of almost every freshman in the country.

But Alexander never has been one to drift too far way from the basket.

Texas forward Myles Turner, on the other hand, hasn’t always used his 6-foot-11 frame to his advantage, He according to Long- should h o r n s be on the coach Rick block all Barnes. “ M y l e s the time. … we need I think he to get him could be a to the free-throw dominant line a lot,” 12-footB a r n e s and-in said after Turner to- player.” taled eight points and — UT coach eight re- Rick Barnes, on b o u n d s Myles Turner in UT’s 75-62 loss Saturday to KU in which Turner did not shoot a free throw.

Turner averages 11.8 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.7 blocks per game and shoots .883 from the line.

“You see him, you watch him play,” Barnes said. “He should be on the block all the time. I think he could be a dominant 12-foot-and-in player. He doesn’t have to get in there and try to be physical. I just think he catches that thing anywhere from 10, 12 feet in, I think he can dominate. But he’s got to want to do it all the time. And then his teammates have to want to get him the ball. That’s a big part of it, too.”

Alexander was ranked No. 4 by Rivals in the Class of 2014, Turner No. 9.

“I played against Myles Turner all the time in high school,” Alexander said.

“He’s got a nice game, got a little touch, can shoot the three, face up, shoot the short jump shot, got a pretty decent game.”

Asked if he is surprised Turner does not spend more time closer to the basket, Alexander didn’t duck the question.

“He’s kind of thin,” Alexander said. “He’s kind of thin, down low.

I mean, he can still work out down there. He’s just kind of thin, that’s all.”

Jonathan Holmes lamented the entire team’s inability to cash in on size.

“We’re one of the biggest teams in the country,” Holmes said. “We need to understand that.

I don’t think we take advantage of it. It’s frustrating. It’s something we talk about every day.”

16-3 overall, 5-1 in the Big 12. No. 17-ranked Texas fell to 14-5, 3-3.

“That’s the best game ... that’s the best road game we’ve played in a long time. I mean, maybe years, in large part because we took care of the ball,” Self said after his squad tied a school record with just three turnovers — fewest in a game since 1966, when KU had three versus Iowa State.

“Our shot selection was good, even though they blocked some shots (nine to KU’s four). Our firstshot defense for the most part was pretty good. We played to scouting report pretty well. I thought our offensive efficiency was the best it’s been all year.”

He cited the play of Frank Mason III (12 points, four assists, no turnovers) and Devonté Graham (two points, three assists, no turnovers) as the main factors for the overall efficiency.

“I thought Frank and Devonté just totally controlled the game the second half,” Self said, referring to KU’s ability to build on a 32-30 first-half edge. “Didn’t you guys think it was their game?”

Self dished out some additional superlatives, one involving Cliff Alexander, who scored 15 points — one off a career high — and grabbed nine rebounds in 27 minutes.

“We haven’t seen Cliff run like that all year,” Self said. “The great thing about Cliff is, he’s

Then somebody hit him this morning (at shootaround). I’m thinking Ridley (Cameron, eight points, four boards) is going to knock the crap out of him, but he fought through it. He got four dunks blocked, and still he took it right at the rim every time. He was impressive.”

Self also lauded Brannen Greene (14 points, four threes after not practicing two straight days after running into Perry Ellis’ elbow at practice) as “great” and said the sophomore guard “bailed us out.”

KU’s 12th-year coach saved probably the highest praise for junior Jamari Traylor, who was credited with a whopping eight floor burns (dives for loose balls).

Traylor in one first-half frenzy went flying into the stands while chasing

an offensive rebound, then, after running to the other end, dove on a loose ball near halfcourt and knocked it off UT’s Demarcus Holland, with the play ending in a basket and free throw from Mason.

“I thought that was the best play I’ve seen since I’ve been at Kansas. I don’t think there’s ever been a better hustle play than that one,” Self said of the action that came shortly after Traylor’s rejection of a Holland shot. KU led 26-21 following Mason’s bucket and free throw.

“It was unbelievable.

Plays like that give your team momentum and give your team confidence. That was a helluva play.”

Self also was happy with a defense that held UT to 40 percent shooting, including a 3-of-18 performance from three (to KU’s 6-of-18).

“Our big guys did the best job they’ve done in a while denying them touches,” Self said.

The Jayhawks, who didn’t shoot well (27-of62 for 43.5 percent), did make up for that by suffering just the three turnovers — none the second half.

“That was huge. Going away and committing only three turnovers, that’s big,” said KU junior forward Ellis, who scored 14 points and grabbed five rebounds in 33 minutes. “That’s how you win away games.”

“That’s awesome.

That’s how you win games on the road. That’s

big for us,” Graham stated.

Noted Mason, who played 35 minutes: “That’s always the formula to win on the road. If you can take care of the ball and execute on the offensive end and get stops on the defensive end, that’s the winning formula.”

Self was pleased the Jayhawks fared well against a tall Texas team, the tallest squad the Jayhawks have faced since Kentucky, which beat KU by 32 points in November.

“It was different when we played against Kentucky’s length. We shied away from it. Today we didn’t shy away, we went to it knowing they’d block some,” said Self, whose Jayhawks used a 27-10 run to turn a 44-39 deficit into a 66-54 lead. “We attacked their length well.

We drove to pass as opposed to driving to score.

It’s hard to drive to score over length. It’s much easier to force help when passing to somebody else.

I thought we did a good job of sharing the ball.”

The Jayhawks did so many things well, “I think if they play the way I think the game is supposed to be played, with energy and unselfishness and those things I think I could fall in love with this group,” Self said.

“We haven’t done that consistently. Today we ran. We were opportunistic. We played smart.

Shot selection was good, and we paid attention to scouting report for the most part.”

KU will meet TCU at 8 p.m. Wednesday in Fort Worth, Texas.

NOTEBOOK

Alexander revved up

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Austin, Texas — Cliff Alexander has been trying to play with an accelerated “motor” since being benched the last 14 minutes of the Iowa State game on Jan. 17.

“I ran the floor a lot today. Brannen Greene and Devonté Graham looked at me, passed to me a couple times when I was running the floor,” the 6-foot-8 Chicago freshman said after scoring 15 points and grabbing nine rebounds while logging 27 minutes in KU’s 75-62 victory over Texas on Saturday at Frank Erwin Center.

Alexander hit six of 11 shots despite playing with a bruised sternum that was also hit at shootaround before the game.

“We worked the middle (of UT zone). Coach told us, ‘Get the ball to the middle. It’s open every time.’ We got easy shots,” Alexander said of KU’s big men. l

Greene hadn’t practiced recently: KU sophomore Brannen Greene scored 14 points in 20 minutes. He had not practiced the past two days after getting hit by a Perry Ellis elbow at practice.

He had a shiner under his right eye.

“He just shot (on side).

We held him out of contact,” coach Bill Self said.

“They said it may have been slight (concussion).

He had a headache. He said he could go. Doctors don’t mess with that.” l

Hustle plays: Jamari Traylor in one first-half frenzy went flying into the stands while chasing an offensive rebound, then after running to the other end dove on a loose ball near halfcourt, knocking it off UT’s Demarcus Holland.

The play ended in a basket and free throw from Frank Mason III. Traylor had eight floor burns in the game.

“He (Self) said it

me,” Ellis said. “I got the ball in the middle, and I turned around, and he pretty much ran into me.”

The dead-eye shooter had a black eye, which mattered not even a little bit by the time the game arrived.

“It’s not swollen,” Greene said. “It’s just black.”

And dead. Greene followed back-to-back scoreless games with hot-shooting contributions vs. Oklahoma and Texas. In a combined 35 minutes, Greene totaled 26 points, made nine of 13 shots and seven of nine three-pointers.

Kansas coach Bill Self credited Greene with getting the Jayhawks back in the game early.

“Everybody could take a deep breath (after Greene’s eight quick points),” Self said. “I think Brannen Greene

hands-down was one of his favorite plays this year,” Traylor said. “He was happy the way the guys came out and competed. That was one of the highlights of the game for him, I guess.”

Let Traylor describe the action that so impressed Self and the bench: “I got my shot blocked. I ran down and blocked one. The ball bounced to me. I had to jump in-bounds real quick to save it. I tried to get a good offensive rebound (off Greene miss).

I ended up falling into the crowd, falling on a cameraman. I was on my way back down, the ball happened to be rolling. I ran and dove to it. Frank (Mason III) ended up getting an and-one. It was pretty crazy.

“I feel it gave us a lot of energy, pumped up energy into everybody and got everybody going. I looked at the bench, and everybody was hyped, so I was like, ‘Oh, man, it must have been something.’” l

First place: KU is 5-1 in the Big 12, while Kansas State is 5-2. West Virginia and Iowa State are 4-2.

“If you told me we’d be 5-1 after six games, I’d say we played really well,” Self said. “Because three road games were really tough (Texas, Iowa State, Baylor).” l

Coaches talk: KU led the entertaining game, 32-30, at halftime. “That was two good teams playing. Even Rick (Barnes, UT coach) and I talked at halftime. It was, ‘You’re good.’ ‘No, you’re good, too.’ Those were two good teams,” Self said. l

This, that: KU is 5-1 in Big 12 play for the 10th time under Self. ... KU leads the all-time series against UT, 24-8, with a 7-6 mark at Erwin Center. ... KU is 250-50 in Big 12 play. ... UT opened on an 8-0 run before Ellis scored KU’s first points with 16:45 on the clock.

bailed us out. And then he made two huge threes in the second half. One of them was guarded in the corner.”

Greene handled a difficult defensive assignment, guarding Texas senior Jonathan Holmes, well enough to stay on the court. Holmes scored 14 points in 30 minutes.

“He was trying to post me a lot because he’s bigger, stronger,” Greene said. “I was just trying to get around him, get in front of him.”

Greene didn’t always succeed in doing so, but he did practice the word “trying” that he used twice in that quote, he didn’t just preach it. On this afternoon in which eight players were called upon, they played much better than could be expected of three freshmen, three sophomores and two juniors.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY’S CHELSEA GARDNER, RIGHT, shoots over West Virginia’s Lanay Montgomery. Gardner totaled 20 points and 20 rebounds, and the Jayhawks won, 65-59, on Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse.

KU women CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

Jayhawk had topped 20 and 20 since Tracey Claxton recorded 36 points and grabbed 28 rebounds in a 1981 victory over Pacific Christian.

The double-double was Gardner’s first in Big 12 play this season and did not come from the Jayhawks dumping the ball to her in the post. Most of her points and rebounds came within the normal flow of the offense. Fellow seniors Asia Boyd (15 points, Thor mask) and Natalie Knight (14, Flash) also reached double figures in scoring on a day when the Jayhawks (11-9 overall, 2-5 Big 12) trailed by 10 in the first half and four at halftime before taking charge in the final 20 minutes.

“They should do it, they’re capable of doing it, and this team needs for them to do it,” KU coach Bonnie Henrickson said of the three KU seniors.

Night in and night out, stopping Gardner is the focal point for KU’s opponents. West Virginia coach Mike Carey flashed a bit of sarcasm when asked about that concept.

“You couldn’t tell, could ya?” Carey said.

Gardner, who said she did not have a favorite superhero growing up but admitted she was at least a little inspired by seeing her head shot with the Iron Man mask on it, made nine of 14 shots and ripped down six offensive rebounds and 14 defensive boards. She may have challenged Claxton’s numbers had it not been for foul trouble limiting her to 30 minutes.

“I think she did a great job,” Henrickson said of her standout forward.

“But it wasn’t like we just threw it into her and let her go to work. She has to play with a tremen-

dous amount of effort and equally disciplined.”

For the most part, Gardner did that. And she did it without pressing.

“I know that they’re gonna come and not allow me to get multiple shots,” Gardner said. “But when I’m in, I think, just play.”

Added Carey: “Chelsea Gardner’s a great player.

She’s hard to guard. But what frustrated me the most was that so many of her points and offensive rebounds came off of dribble penetration.”

Credit Boyd, Knight and freshman point guard Lauren Aldridge for that. Aldridge (Captain America) finished with seven points, a career-best eight assists and five steals as the fourth element of KU’s offensive attack.

And that trio continually forced West Virginia (127, 2-5) into retreat mode.

Liberty, Mo. — Kansas University’s women’s swim team, sparked by three individual event victories

by Lindsay Manning, defeated Truman State, 164-90, and William Jewell, 169-83, on Saturday at William Jewell.

Before heading to Liberty, KU coach Clark Campbell had the team swim a warm-up session at Robinson Natatorium.

“This morning, we warmed up, then put on suits and raced to see how close they got to their best times,” Campbell said.

“They did a great job this morning. This afternoon at the meet was all about having a ‘finals’ opportunity, and they did really well. I’m really happy with where they are now.”

Manning won the 800 freestyle in a pool-record time of 9:03.21. She was followed by Nika Fellows

(9:05.32) in second place and Sammie Schurig (9:18.08) in third.

“I didn’t even know what the record was coming in to the meet,” Manning said. “Clark told me to just go for it, and so I did. I’m a pool record-holder. That’s kind of fun to say. I just want to keep working hard and be the fastest that I can be.”

Manning then won the 200 freestyle with her time of 2:09.75. Hannah Driscoll was second (2:10.16), and Fellows took third. Manning also won the 400 freestyle.

“It’s so exciting and motivates me to do well at conference,” Manning said. “Having such a big day today in such a short period of time gives me a confidence boost. I’m really happy with how I did today and where we’re all at as a team.”

The Jayhawks will host Arkansas at 10 a.m. on Jan. 31.

Hokie in the house Former Virginia Tech basketball player Rayna DuBose, who played for Henrickson at Va-Tech, was at Saturday’s game, in town as the featured guest for Kansas Athletics’ diversity training.

DuBose, who was introduced during a timeout Saturday, will speak to more than 500 KU student-athletes during her time in Lawrence about the challenges of overcoming bacterial meningitis, which took all four of her limbs during the spring of her freshman year in college “I get to introduce her, and she already said I don’t get to cry,” Henrickson said. “But it’s hard for me not to when I talk about her. It’s just unbelievable energy and an unbelievable story.

South Carolina tops KU tennis Albuquerque, N.M. — Kansas University fell to 23rd-ranked South Carolina, 6-1, on Saturday in women’s tennis.

Madison Harrison defeated Meghan Blevins, 1-6, 6-0, 3-0 (retired) in No. 4 singles for the Jayhawks’ lone singles victory.

“Today we created some opportunities to win more matches,” KU coach Todd Chapman said.

“When you are playing a top-25, well-coached team, you have to finish things when you can if you want to get the W. We had three match points to win the doubles, but just couldn’t make it happen.”

The Jayhawks will return to action when they travel to Las Vegas to face UNLV (Feb. 6), Pacific (Feb. 7) and New Mexico State (Feb. 8).

BRITTANY KEEGAN, CURATOR AT THE WATKINS MUSEUM OF HISTORY, has organized the new textile exhibit at the museum titled “A Stitch in Time: Lawrence History Through Textiles.” The exhibit traces how handicrafts like quilting, crocheting and knitting have played a part in Douglas County history from the 1850s to today. The exhibit opens Jan. 30 and runs through April 11.

rittany Keegan is standing opposite a massive quilt that hangs from the wall of a sun-drenched room on the second floor of the Watkins Museum of History.

“That’s us,” says the museum’s curator, pointing out a nickel-sized patch of red fabric from which gray and white thread billow out, symbolizing smoke. “Burning.”

By “us,” she means Lawrence. More specifically, Lawrence during Quantrill’s Raid.

The tragedy is shown from a bird’s-eye view, its flames

a tiny dot against the rolling hills of northeast Kansas.

Surrounding that scene are at least a dozen others, each depicting a different place or event from Douglas County’s history.

The quilt, created nearly 40 years ago for the U.S. bicentennial by the Kaw Valley Quilters Guild, is one of about 20 pieces in a new exhibition set to open Friday.

An American tale and an ‘American’ fail

I

t made me grin from ear to ear when I heard the news.

J.K. Simmons, the longtime working character actor — who is most visible right now as the guy from those Farmers Insurance commercials — is hosting “Saturday Night Live” next weekend.

It is a testament to the power of the $3 million little-indie-movie-thatcould “Whiplash” that Simmons — who after three “Spider-Man” movies in the 2000s, continues to voice the part of Peter Parker’s Daily Bugle editor J. Jonah Jameson in animated Marvel series and spent 109 episodes in a supporting role on TNT’s “The Closer” — has reached the zenith of pop culture. In addition to hosting “SNL,” the 60-year-old perennial “that guy” seems a lock to win a best supporting actor Oscar next month.

After three months of a slow rollout across the country, “Whiplash” is finally at Liberty Hall and there shall be much rejoicing. Writer/director Damien Chazelle has crafted an efficient, electrifying film out of a uniquely American theme that everyone can relate to but none have ever dramatized to this effect — the extreme lengths that driven people will go to in order to “be the best” at something.

Ostensibly, “Whiplash” is a movie about a jazz drummer (Miles Teller) at a prestigious music school who gets berated by an overbearing teacher (Simmons).

But in its examination of the gray areas surrounding this issue, the insight it offers into a one-track psyche, and its stubborn refusal to draw a conclusion implicitly for the audience, “Whiplash” achieves rare air.

Did I mention that it’s also hands down the most riveting thriller of the year?

Perhaps it means that Hollywood shouldn’t simplify our soldiers’ impossible situations and create hollow reasons for audiences to cheer the deaths of the people that Kyle referred to as “savages.” What we don’t need in this era of nontraditional modern warfare and complicated political climate are films that propagate the myth that war is black and white.

‘From Ashes to Immortality’ “I’m a sucker for a wellcrafted story with amazing cinematography,”

says Lawrence resident Eric Hyde. “My grandpa Wilbur Hess used to be the main photographer for the Lawrence JournalWorld, so I grew up with a respect for meaningful photography.”

If influences such as the experimental film “Samsara” and the oeuvre of Terrence Malick are any indication, Hyde’s upcoming indie feature “From Ashes to Immortality” will be a feast for the eyes. The movie, to be shot almost entirely in Lawrence, has until Thursday to reach its funding goal on Kickstarter, a necessary step because of equipment

costs. Among other complicated set-ups, Hyde has already engineered a zip-line camera system.

When he was 8 years old, Hyde survived a serious car crash on his bicycle that left him in a coma for 17 days. While re-gaining basic motor functions and learning how to speak again, Hyde watched a lot of movies.

The narrative is partially inspired by his own life, and he is hoping that this story touches people’s hearts the way Lawrence has touched his.

“Lawrence inspires me because it’s a mecca of artistic talent, and not just art like a painting, a song, or a fine art,” he says. “This whole town is art: our downtown, Bowersock Dam, KU campus, basketball, the Eldridge, the police, fire and medical, architectural progress — everything people do here is an art.”

MOVIE REVIEW

‘Mortdecai’ has its share of mortal flaws

By Roger Moore Tribune News Service

As you might have guessed from the daft and something-short-of-hilarious TV ads, “Mortdecai” is an extended inside Anglo joke that most of us aren’t in on.

But for a certain sort of Anglophile, one who recognizes the attempted homage to ’60s comedies, the comics Terry-Thomas and Dudley Moore and other inspirations for Mike Myers’ “Austin Powers” pictures, it’s something less than awful.

I mean, if watching Johnny Depp mince and curl his “Kaiser Bill” mustache and quip in his most foppish upper-class twit Brit accent for 100 minutes is your cup of Earl Grey, have at it.

Charlie Mortdecai is an English lord, an inbred art dealer, tax dodger and, by his own admission, “a rogue, a scoundrel.” But when the Crown calls on him to find a missing Goya painting that was stolen when an art restorer was murdered, duty calls. That, and he owes $8 million in taxes and his bullying beauty of a wife (Gwyneth Paltrow, on the money) might

leave him if they’re broke.

Ewan McGregor plays a former Oxford classmate, now an MI-5 agent who wants this painting back and who pines for Mortdecai’s wife. Paul Bettany is Jock, the Kato to Depp’s Clouseau-like klutz. Jock takes punches and bullets for his boss, who always asks his driver, “manservant and thug” one thing — mid-calamity.

“Will it be all right in the end?”

Jock refuses a straight answer. With reason, it turns out.

The movie rather pointlessly jets from London to Moscow, Hong Kong to Los Angeles.

Others want the painting, a colorless lot of Russians, Chinese and an American. Jeff Goldblum has too little to play to give the film a decent comic foil and a muchneeded arch villain.

What director David “Premium Rush” Koepp was shooting for was something on the order of those Peter Sellers “Pink Panther” movies, unlikely over-the-top adventures endured by a reluctant anti-hero goofball. What he settled for is Depp twitching and mugging, in closeup, enduring an endless

parade of mustache jokes.

“What IS that infernal thing on your lip?” is the cleanest.

Depp’s English accent makes an amusing setting for his scripted one-liners.

The government has a hefty file on him, “fat and well-handled, like a Welsh barmaid.” His euphemisms for luring his wife to bed are a stitch, a “quick session of congress, ‘Sink the Bismarck’ if you will.”

The story is nonsensical and the action tepid. So if you don’t find the Britquips funny, there’s not much for you in “Mortdecai,” just vintage British motorcars, foppish gibberish and Depp curling and re-curling that mustache, punctuating every line with “Right!” or “Quite!”

That makes for a quite watchable mess.

ARTS NOTE

Stitch CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

Culled from the Douglas County Historical Society’s collection, the artifacts include quilts, clothing and other textiles, as well as photographs and antique sewing machines and tools.

Keegan, who began work on the exhibition early last month, says the original plan was to find a place for the several quilts and afghans that had been sitting in the museum’s attic.

Several of them, she realized, had some pretty interesting stories. “Everyone needs clothing and everyone needs bed linens, but if you think about it, people had to learn these skills, and it really kept families moving forward,� Keegan says. “I think that surprised me the most.�

A few years back, a local woman donated a quilt that had been in her family since the Great Depression. “It was a project between a grandmother and her granddaughter,�

Keegan says. “They stitched it together out of fabric from old clothing from the family.�

Times were tough, and “they needed to use all the resources they could to help themselves survive the winter,� she explains.

Take a look at the quilt, now displayed in “A Stitch in Time,� and you can see bits of a red crocheted shawl, an overcoat and a man’s pinstripe suit — items from family members lovingly recycled into a keepsake that would be handed down from one generation to the next.

The ability of textiles to bring people together is a common thread throughout the exhibition, Keegan says.

The photo is part of the “Stitch in Time: Lawrence History Through Textiles� exhibit at the Watkins Museum of History.

The exhibit opens Friday and runs through April 11. BELOW: Examples of a variety of textile techniques featured in the exhibit. rediscoveries from the attic is a photograph of a women’s softball team, circa late 1940s or early 1950s.

In the picture, a group of 10 young women pose in vintage uniforms, their backs turned to the camera. Their strong, healthy legs feature predominantly, un-Photoshopped, cellulite and muscles and all.

Keegan doesn’t know much about the photograph, but she does know Singer Sewing Machines sponsored the team “as a way for women to get together and go play,� a fairly novel idea at a time when most girls were discouraged from “unladylike� sports. “I think it plays into the whole idea of knitting and stitching and sewing being this very social activity for a long time, and then as the new century and later in the mid-century, you see sewing machines

sponsoring other ways of socializing,� she says.

It’s a trend that has reemerged in recent years, with the popularity of DIY culture and online craft marketplaces like Etsy.

While most of us no longer need to sew our own clothes or crochet our own blankets, the basic need to connect with others is still there, Keegan says. “I have friends who have taken up knitting at certain points, which, being in your 20s or 30s, seems a little funny to me,� she says. “But you know, my grandmother quilts, and the idea that it’s coming back in the younger generation is pretty cool, I think.� “A Stitch in Time� will run through April 11 at the Watkins Museum.

The Baker University Community Choir will begin rehearsals for its spring season Thursday.

Weekly rehearsals are held from 6 to 8 p.m. at McKibbin Recital Hall in the Owens Musical Arts Building, 408 Eighth St., on Baker’s Baldwin City campus.

New members are welcome, and auditions are not required. A $20 semester participation fee will be charged to all non-Baker students.

Formed in 2010, the choir performs a variety of traditional and contemporary pieces. The group is directed by Cathy Crispino, interim director of choral activities.

Later this year, the Community Choir will join other Baker choirs to perform Ralph Vaughan Williams’ “Dona Nobis Pacem.� The event will be at 7:30 p.m.

May 1 at the Baldwin First United Methodist Church, 704 Eighth St. For more information, contact Crispino at cathy. crispino@bakeru.edu.

Another civil rights ‘King’ ————————

Novelist Ravi Howard paints entertainer Nat King Cole as a champion of equality

By Chris Foran Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

Birmingham, Ala., November 1945: One of Alabama’s favorite sons, rising music star Nat King Cole, returns for a rare hometown performance.

Well, not everyone’s favorite, as it turns out.

As the show gets underway, Cole — beginning with a number helping an old friend propose to his gal — is attacked onstage by a half-dozen white men. But before they can do any serious damage to Cole, that old friend — a returning soldier named Nat Weary — leaps from the balcony to rescue him, pummeling one of Cole’s attackers.

End of show, beginning of Weary’s journey, and Birmingham’s, in “Driving the King,” Ravi Howard’s new novel exploring the edges of the civil rights battle in midcentury America.

In an easygoing style, with Weary as his guide, Howard pokes into underviewed corners of the fight while never losing sight of the humanity of both the cause and its effects.

After the fracas, Weary gets 10 years in prison, losing his girl and his sense of self. But he doesn’t lose his old friend: As Weary’s

release nears, Cole sends an emissary to offer him a job as his driver and bodyguard out in Los Angeles, where Cole — by 1955, one of the world’s biggest-selling pop stars — is about to be the first African-American to host his own national television show.

A year later, both men return to Birmingham, to stage the concert that Cole never got to finish and give Weary some closure, as the city begins to boil over amid the bus boycott that followed the arrest of Rosa Parks.

In “Driving,” Howard jumps between Weary’s time in Birmingham — when he first gets out of prison and when he returns for the concert — and his time in Los Angeles working for Cole.

The two cities are worlds apart but tightly linked.

In L.A., Weary becomes friends with a woman editing an African-American newspaper who taps his ties to report on the Birmingham boycott, whose organizers include members of Weary’s family, his ex-fiancée and a young preacher from Atlanta named Martin Luther King Jr. In California, Cole and his family have had their windows shot out, and his latest venture —

AP File Photo

IN THIS AUG. 6, 1957, FILE PHOTO, actor Harry Belafonte, left, and singer Nat King Cole appear on the “The Nat King Cole Show” in Los Angeles. Various facets of Cole’s life, including his variety show, are touched on in Ravi Howard’s historical novel “Driving the King.” a prime-time show on NBC — is on life support because he can’t find a company willing to sponsor a program hosted by a black man.

Howard, a former producer with NFL Films with

an award-winning first novel (“Like Trees, Walking”), doesn’t mention it in the acknowledgments, but he likely was inspired by a real-life event in which Cole was battered onstage during a concert in Bir-

mingham, albeit in different circumstances and in a different time frame.

But Howard’s rewrite allows for a broader perspective on the battles being fought by AfricanAmericans famous and anonymous as the lines are finally being drawn.

The world Weary returns to after leaving prison is one in which people of color have decided to take matters into their own hands, aware that they face long odds when they do so. In fact, Weary’s impulsive act to defend Cole has served a call to arms; even King has heard the story of his sacrifice, and congratulates him on doing the right thing, regardless of the consequences.

King, in his brief cameo, is depicted on a human scale in “Driving” similar to the flesh-andblood way he’s depicted in the movie “Selma,” Cole, on the other hand, gets a far more sympathetic treatment than he did in real life, when some leaders of the civil rights movement accused him of being an Uncle Tom. In the novel, Cole is a smart, determined professional who won’t surrender his dignity by giving in to racists, but is all too aware that his popularity would be at risk if he was any bolder.

In Howard’s hands, Cole taking the stage in the city where he was nearly killed by hate is as much a blow for equal rights as refusing to give up your seat on the bus just because of your skin color.

BOOK REVIEW

‘Secret Wisdom’ highlights beauty, darkness of Appalachia

By Elizabeth Taylor Chicago Tribune

So many debut novels hit just one note. Coming of age. Small-town life.

Adventure. Generational bonding. Social consciousness. How marvelous to start the year of reading with Christopher Scotton’s big-hearted “The Secret Wisdom of the Earth,” which has a marvelous blend of all these themes.

After the death of his younger brother, Kevin and his depressed (nearly catatonic) mother head to the Appalachia hometown of her child-

hood for the summer.

At the moral center of the novel are his grandfather, Pops, the wise veterinarian, and Buzzy, the friend he meets from a few hollers away. This is a whole new world for 14-year-old Kevin, as he learns how to castrate bulls with Pops, and learns the backwoods with Buzzy, who also has one of the world’s greatest collections of toenails. (Not his own.)

In the world created

by Scotton, Appalachia is more than verdant or hardscrabble. It’s a place of contradiction and contrast; ruthlessness

coexists with beauty, danger and evil.

Medgar, Ky., is coal town, and Scotton writes with deep understanding about how the mines eventually got played out and the impact of mountaintop removal.

He is unflinching in his depiction of those suffering — dying — from black lung and slurry. He writes

time, when he returns to Medgar as an adult, with his own children. “I’ve thought about it often in the years since that first summer in Medgar, and I’m no closer to understanding how evil can be both numbingly complex and so astonishingly simple at once.”

Evil may defy understanding, but in that inquiry into evil, this lovely novel brings readers closer.

And for those who wish to linger in Appalachia, try Julia Keller’s “A Killing in the Hills” or Jayne Anne Phillips “Machine Dreams.”

with water. If he’s pumping it into the mines, guess where it ends up?”

Yes, the drinking water.

This is a town with a deep history, and one in which lies live enough to harden into truths and the past becomes slurry, and the victims of the mines become evil and hostile themselves. This is a suspenseful novel, and one of its themes involves the hairdresser and some of the anxieties and hostilities that arise from his status as a “bachelor gentleman.”

While Kevin narrates the novel, he does so from the perspective of

with a vivid but light touch. When Kevin asks about slurry, the local hairdresser explains it this way: “ W h e n they bring the coal up it’s dirty and dusty so they have to wash it before it can go on the train.

The slurry is what comes off the chunks of coal — dust, dirt, nasty chemicals all mixed up

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Quarrelsome dad gets bad impression of fiance Dear Annie: I am a female resident physician. In medical school, I fell in love with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jay,â&#x20AC;? a classmate. We have been together for four years. Jay is currently a resident physician in another state.

Two years ago, I brought Jay home to meet my father and stepmother.

Some of Jayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite topics of discussion are American history and politics. My father deemed him aggressive and argumentative. Dad also says Jay doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really love me because he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hug or kiss me during that visit.

In actuality, I had asked Jay to tone down the PDA in front of my father.

Later, my stepmother butted in and told me that my whole fam-

Annieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

anniesmailbox@comcast.net

ily hates Jay, which is a complete lie and wreaked havoc on my relationships with my mother and sister.

No matter how much I tell Dad that Jay is a good man, I cannot override his first impression. Jay has not been invited back, so that makes it doubly hard to let Dad see a different side of him.

My mother says Dad

Historyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is fun, inaccurate Viewers searching for serious history will probably depart during the first 10 minutes of the History Channelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sons of Libertyâ&#x20AC;? (8 p.m.), a three-night, six-hour miniseries about the men and the moments behind the American Revolution.

Directed by Kari Skogland (â&#x20AC;?Vikingsâ&#x20AC;?), â&#x20AC;&#x153;Libertyâ&#x20AC;? begins with all of the kinetic frenzy and violence of the History Channelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nordic saga. A narrator tells us that the colonists were â&#x20AC;&#x153;so oppressedâ&#x20AC;? that they fell to fighting a m o n g t h e m selves.

Later, a mob is seen looting the British governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mansion and urinating on a portrait of King George III. What drove these men to such violence? How were they oppressed? It takes â&#x20AC;&#x153;Libertyâ&#x20AC;? some time to get to that, so at first Bostonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rabble are like so many vandals, Visigoths or Vikings.

Fortunately, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Libertyâ&#x20AC;? settles down to offer an entertaining, if slightly preposterous, tale.

The language and attitudes are all ridiculously anachronistic.

But once you get over that, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a rather thrilling ride.

Ben Barnes (â&#x20AC;?The Chronicles of Narniaâ&#x20AC;?) brings a certain smoldering, bad boy attitude to Samuel Adams. Michael Raymond-James (â&#x20AC;?Jack Reacherâ&#x20AC;?) is cast as Paul Revere, because, well, Steven Seagal was not available, or is too old. Even the thoughtful, venerable Benjamin Franklin (Dean Norris, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Breaking Badâ&#x20AC;?) has the musculature of a football coach.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not only the language in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Libertyâ&#x20AC;? thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s apparently influenced by gangster movies.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the attitudes and even the plot. Much of the first episode involves an intricate operation established by Hancock, Samuel Adams and Revere to smuggle wine into the city under the noses of British tax collectors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sons of Libertyâ&#x20AC;? is hardly the first retelling to put a preposterously contemporary spin on the American Revolution. And, unlike AMCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turgid Revolutionary War spy drama â&#x20AC;&#x153;Turn,â&#x20AC;? itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s frequently fun and exceedingly entertaining. Educational? Not so much.

Tonightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other highlights

Scheduled on â&#x20AC;&#x153;60 Minutesâ&#x20AC;? (6 p.m., CBS): A joint interview with House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

BIRTHDAYS Actress Jenifer Lewis is 57.

Author Stephen Chbosky is 44.

Actress Mia Kirschner is 39.

Singer Alicia Keys is 33.

secretly hopes Jay and I will break up due to the long-distance relationship. But we see each other every month and are very much in love.

Last April, Jay proposed. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re both buried in student loans, so there is no engagement ring at the moment, and we have no set plans for a wedding. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve shared the news only with Jayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family and our closest friends.

My father and stepmother do not know, and I am terrified to tell them. Dad has a history of cutting people out of his life over petty things. (He once stopped speaking to his own mother for five years.)

Dad abandoned our family when I was 13 in order to marry my stepmother.

Since

JACQUELINE BIGARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S STARS

then Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve bent over backward to be the perfect daughter. This stresses me out. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want my relationship with Dad to crumble.

Any advice? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Dr. Confused Dear Dr.: You cannot be expected to live your life solely to please your controlling father. Part of being an adult is making your own decisions and having the courage to stand by them.

If your father stops speaking to you, so be it. Get counseling if you need help.
