Tom Markus: From Iowa to Lawrence

Strategic plan, involving KU students among goals

By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

New city manager will face familiar controversial issues

By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

Iowa City — Just past working hours in his corner office of City Hall, flooded with evening light coming in through wallto-wall windows, Lawrence’s incoming city manager, Tom Markus, lifted himself from the leatherback chair on one side

of the room and strode the few yards to his desk, piled high with papers, to answer his ringing phone.

“Especially at this hour, it’s usually a crisis,” Markus said before grabbing the receiver.

It was no reason to worry, though. In his five years as Iowa City’s city manager, Markus has navigated his share of challenging situations. He’s dealt with

INCOMING LAWRENCE CITY MANAGER TOM MARKUS, above left, has spent the past five years in the same position in Iowa City.

Markus begins working in Lawrence on March 21. criticism about the size and financing of downtown high-rises, which was the subject of that night’s phone call. He’s argued in favor of a passenger rail between his city and Chicago; and he’s hopped on a plane to Belgium with little notice to woo officials of an international cycling event, among his many other daily tasks.

After a few minutes on the phone, Markus said goodbye to the person on the other line, again leaned back in the chair overlooking one of Iowa City’s downtown thoroughfares, and continued his answer to a previously asked question.

In the countdown to his move, incoming city manager Tom Markus is finishing up his work in Iowa City and trying to get to know Lawrence from afar.

He’s been watching City Commission meetings via live stream, and he’s worked on the plan for his first 100 days in City Hall, which mostly comprises getting to know staff and stakeholders and learning the city’s culture.

“I wanted to get a book that talked about the history of Lawrence,” Markus said.

“Believe it or not, that history evolves into even modern-day culture and what their connections and their roots are, so I’d like to see if I can piece that together and know that coming into a community.”

At the end of Markus’ 100 days, he plans to file a report on what was accomplished and an outline for how the City Commission should move into its strategic planning process.

One of the tasks listed in the city’s advertisement of the vacant city manager position was for the new manager to lead the process in creating a new strategic plan.

Readers support banning Confederate flag from schools A Thousand Voices

Nikki Wentling nwentling@ljworld.com

O

pinions were mixed in our latest LJWorld.com survey about whether the Lawrence school district should ban Confederate flags on school grounds — an issue brought to light in late January, when a Free State High School student was told to remove the flag from his truck.

Many of those surveyed agreed with that

l When asked about the Free State High School administration’s decision to disallow the one student from bringing the Confederate flag onto school grounds, 55 percent of respondents answered that they supported the decision.

Others said they were not sure (23.8 percent), and 21.1 percent said they did not support it. The results had a margin of

error of 2.5 to 3.2 percentage points. l To the next question, about whether the Lawrence school district should create a policy banning the Confederate flag, 55.1 percent said they would support the policy and 21.1 percent said they would not. The remaining 23.8 percent answered that they were not sure. The results had a margin of error of 2.4

But there’s still some dissent, and others who hadn’t yet formed an opinion on whether the image needs to be prohibited.

Answers to each question were nearly identical. Here’s a look at the results:

ConstanCe Marlatt Huested allen Constance Marlatt Huested Allen died on January 29, 2016 in Lawrence, Kansas.

She was born on May 21, 1940 in Englewood, New Jersey to Richard Salisbury Huested and Constance Marlatt Huested. Her father was an aeronautical engineer who served in many areas around the world, during and after World War II. Her mother was a homemaker and the descendent of a prominent Washington, D.C. family.

Conkie, as she was known to her friends, came to Lawrence to attend KU and it was there that she met Arly Allen, who became her husband. He remembers first seeing her skipping and bouncing along as she walked to class. She was vibrant, beautiful and intelligent.

They married on June 23, 1962 in the chapel of St. Christopher by the Sea on Gibson Island, Maryland.

Conkie had two children: Arly Hedrick Allen of Lawrence and Patience Allen of Oslo, Norway. For many years Conkie worked at Allen Press, Inc. where she managed the proofroom and developed an editorial services program for scholarly journals.

She also served as den mother for her son’s Cub Scout troop, was a member of a local book club and the Daffodil Club. She loved to knit and made sweaters which her son remembers wearing constantly to school. She was a master gardener and liked picking berries and working in her garden. She was a great cook and wrote a wonderful cookbook, which her family still treasures. Finally, she loved cats. When one died, the word would go out in cat-circles and a new stray would appear at the back door to take up residence.

The major love of her life was genealogy.

She learned this from her grandmother, Helen Stuart Mackay-Smith Marlatt who published a major work: The Stuart Letters of Robert and Elizabeth Sullivan Stuart (1819-1864) (Privately printed 1961) 2 volumes. After Conkie’s retirement from Allen Press, Inc. she devoted much of her time to continuing the work her grandmother had begun.

She and her husband traveled to many out of the way graveyards doing genealogical research. She collected a significant library of materials and books on early Kansas and American genealogy. She leaves this library to her sister, Mrs. Brian Nield, to carry on this work.

She suffered a stroke in 2007 which curtailed her travel and her activities, but she still carried on her genealogical work to the extent she was able.

She died suddenly this past week from various medical complications.

She will be greatly missed.

There will be a funeral service at the RumseyYost funeral home on February 10, 2016, at 4 pm and a celebration of life party for Conkie at her home will take place at a later date.

The family wishes to express its great appreciation to Byron Miller and to Gail Zukav-Ross and David Ross of At Home, Inc., for making it possible for Professor Stansifer to live in Lawrence close to KU which he loved.

SOUTHWEST MIDDLE SCHOOL SEVENTH-GRADER BRYN PERRINS HOLDS HER FIRST-PLACE TROPHY at the 2016 Douglas County Spelling Bee on Saturday at Southwest Middle School. Bryn and runner-up Ayla Nguyen, a seventh-grader from Corpus Christi Catholic School, will compete in the Scripps regional bee in Topeka on March 5.

Spelling bee winner’s hard work pays off Bryn Perrins, runner-up Ayla Nguyen bound for regionals

By Elvyn Jones Twitter: @ElvynJ

After winning the Douglas County Spelling Bee in the 10th round, Bryn Perrins listened in the wings of the Southwest Middle School auditorium, spelling the words given to two contestants engaged in a prolonged competition for runner-up.

“I knew most of them,” Bryn said of the words Chehalis Jones of South Middle School and Ayla Nguyen of Corpus Christi Catholic School were asked to spell in their 13-round battle for second place.

She was comfortable with spelling the words from her hourlong study sessions as she prepped for the bee in recent weeks, Bryn said. The work paid off at the bee, which started

with 25 contestants from Douglas County elementary and middle schools, when she correctly spelled “lilac” in a championship round after three spellers misspelled words in the ninth round.

The seventh-grader said she also had the home-microphone advantage in the competition held in the school she attended.

“I think it made me more comfortable,” she said. “I’ve spelled in here a few times before.”

Bryn continued a family tradition. Her brother, Ethan, won the Douglas County Spelling Bee two years ago and later won the Scripps regional bee to advance to the national finals in Washington, D.C. Accompanying her brother on that trip provided Bryn motivation to study hard for the bee.

“I had a really great time there,” she said. “I want to go back.”

Ayla said she had a tough challenger in the runner-up competition. She and Chehalis each spelled 10 words correctly before both girls missed in the 21st round. Ayla prevailed two rounds later after both correctly spelled words in the 22nd round.

With her second-place finish, Ayla will join Bryn at the regional competition March 5 in Topeka. The seventh-grader said she would continue her hourlong evening study sessions with the goal of winning a trip to the national finals.

The Journal-World has sponsored the Douglas County Spelling Bee since 2009.

Residents who live near the Lawrence Community Shelter will finally get a meeting with shelter officials to air their concerns, including allegations that shelter residents are trespassing, urinating and sleeping on their property.

Trey Meyer, who was appointed executive director of the homeless shelter in November, said last week that he

had scheduled a private “good neighbors” meeting for 6 p.m. Feb. 24 at the shelter.

One of the agreements the shelter made when it moved three years ago from downtown Lawrence to 3701 Franklin Park Circle, next door to the Douglas County Jail, was that it would hold quarterly meetings with neighbors in order to more quickly address problems.

Bus system adding 15 benches to stops

By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

The Lawrence Transit System is in the process of installing benches at 15 of its bus stops by springtime, an action prompted by a small movement last summer of East Lawrence residents placing makeshift benches around their neighborhood.

In an update to the City Commission on Tuesday, Robert Nugent, the city’s transit administrator, will ex-

plain the steps the system has taken to install its first two benches, both along Haskell Avenue. Before the neighborhood effort in August to increase the number of bus stop amenities, the installation of more benches had been delayed because of discussions in City Hall about constructing a new transit hub.

LAWRENCE

.

DEATHS Karen SimmonS erb Karen Simmons Erb (June 4, 1944 – February 4, 2016) and Thomas Owen Erb (February 18, 1945 – November 27, 2015).

Karen and Tom spent most of their lives in Lawrence Kansas, but for the past 3 years lived in New Haven Connecticut.

They passed within two months of one another with all of their children by their side. They could not live without each other.

They were parents, grandparents, teachers, mentors, travelers, art collectors, athletes, health food enthusiasts, conversationalists, punsters, political junkies, NPR listeners, movie buffs, and lifelong members of the Lawrence Cooperative Mercantile.

Born in Fort Wayne Indiana, they both graduated from South Side High School (Karen 1962, Tom 1963). They left to pursue their educations, Karen at Indiana University (1965) and Tom at DePauw University (1967).

Karen and Tom were together for 50 adventure-filled years.

After graduating from IU in the spring of 1965, Karen followed her dreams by joining the Peace Corps in Nigeria, West Africa.

In her first year of teaching in the Peace Corps, the Biafran Civil War broke out in and her school was closed and became a military compound.

She continued teaching in Nigeria for 8 more months, but was eventually evacuated from Benin City within earshot of gunfire. This brought to an end Karen’s exciting and, at times, frightening 20 months as a Peace Corps volunteer, at the age of 23. She was not quite ready to return Stateside, and decided to continue her teaching experience in Spain and Portugal.

Back in Fort Wayne in the winter of 1967 marked the beginning of “Karen and Tom” and their 50-year love affair. Karen was living in Lisbon, Portugal and Tom was teaching middle school in Wilmette, Illinois while pursuing a Master’s degree at Northwestern University.

Tom found Karen to be the most fascinating person he had ever met and he was eager to pursue a relationship with her. This was made difficult by the fact that she soon returned to her European adventure, and he to teaching.

Tom spent the next 50 years of his life trying to keep up with Karen!

In the summer of 1969, he traveled to Europe to pursue this fascinating woman. He convinced her to return to the U.S. and during the summer of 1970 they took a 2 1/2 ½ month, 14-thousand-mile road trip around North America in a Dodge convertible.

During that trip, Tom proposed to Karen. She said she would think about it. In her mind, she had more adventures to pursue prior to settling down. In the meantime, she moved to San Francisco to live with her sister Mary Ann, and consider Tom’s proposal.

Apparently, she realized that life with Tom would be it’s own adventure, and a year later, they were married on September 3, 1971.

After teaching middle school for two more years in the states, they accepted teaching jobs in an international school in Luanda, Angola, West Africa in 1973. They taught in Luanda during the dying days of the Portuguese colonial empire, while traveling extensively in Africa.

In 1974 they returned

and

ThomaS owen erb

to the United States to attend graduate school at the University of Florida.

It was here where their family started to grow with Christopher being born in 1975 and Gregory in 1976. After four years in Florida, Tom received his Ph.D. in curriculum theory and Karen received her Master’s in African studies. Then, after twenty-six rejection letters, the University of Kansas offered Tom the job of building its newly approved middle school education program. So, after six years living in the tropics and subtropics, they moved back to the Midwest to Lawrence Kansas in 1978, with Chris (3) and Greg (1 1/2 ½). Over the next 34 years of living in Lawrence, both their careers and their family grew.

Tom moved up the ranks of the professorate at KU while Karen became an instructor in the Applied English Center (AEC) teaching English as a Second Language to international students.

During Tom’s teaching career, he co-authored 5 books on middle school curriculum and team teaching, 17 book chapters, and supervised the dissertations of 17 doctoral students. While at KU, Tom founded the Journal of the Kansas Association for Middle Level Education (KAMLE), which he edited for 8 years. In 1994 he became editor of the Middle School Journal for the National Middle School Association (NMSA), which kept him in touch with what was going on in middle school education throughout the United States for the next 15 years. In June 2005 Tom went on emeritus status at the University of Kansas and subsequently held two distinguished professorships at his Alma Mater, DePauw University, retiring from the Boswell Professorship in 2010, at the same time Karen retired.

Upon their arrival to Lawrence in 1978, Karen earned a second Master’s degree, this time in Teaching English as a Second Language. While studying for this degree, she taught as a graduate assistant at the AEC, which would become her teaching home for the next 30 years. During her career teaching at KU, Karen twice took the opportunity to teach English in Asolo, Italy.

Karen finished her teaching career working with international students at DePauw University in 2010.

As their careers expanded, so did their family. Brian was born in 1982. After three boys, Karen decided to take biology into her own hands and guarantee herself a daughter. The Erb Family adopted Emily in 1989 after two years working with the American and Mexican consulates to secure the necessary paperwork.

They made several trips to visit Emily during her two years living with a foster family outside Cuernavaca, and Karen even took Spanish lessons at KU so she could be the spokesperson for the family on those trips. Their family was complete—almost.

In 1994 Karen and Tom became foster parents for Reggie Harrison during his senior year in high school. They also had two exchange students over the years, and those students’ families have remained life-long friends: Eduardo Molina from Ecuador and Eric Uribe from Mexico.

After several years

focused on raising her family, Karen told Tom that when she turned 50, she was going to start traveling again. Many of those trips were connected to international study, Peace Corps service, or weddings of their children, nieces and nephews. They visited Christopher during his time in Ecuador, Spain, and Costa Rica, and Chris’ wife Kim during her Peace Corps service in Belize. They traveled with Brian to Uganda during his study abroad experience. The whole family visited Mexico many times over the years to visit Emily’s birthplace, once even to meet her birth mother.

Since Karen’s Peace Corps work and Tom’s study abroad in the 1960s, they lived in or visited 60 countries abroad.

All told, in addition to Canada, they visited 20 European countries, 7 in Central & South America, 22 in Africa, and 8 in Asia. Their international travel and the wonderful memories it provided was a great source of pleasure for Karen and Tom for many years.

In retirement, they learned that Karen had Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP), an atypical Parkinsonian disorder.

In 2012, they moved from their family home of 30 years near downtown Lawrence to New Haven, Connecticut to live with Christopher’s family. In 2015, Emily also moved to New Haven to help care for Karen.

Karen and Tom are survived by their loving family, including: Christopher Thomas and his wife Kimberly and their children Madeleine Deone (8) and Emerson Luciano (5); Gregory Marcus and his wife Vikki and their children, Isaiah Chance Gregory (17), Gwen (12) and Griffin (10); Brian Benjamin and his wife Lauren and their three daughters Olivia Karen (2), Addison Quinn (3.5 months), and Jacqueline Roe (3.5 months); and Emily Renee and her Alaskan Husky, Max. Those who knew Karen and Tom know that they could strike up a conversation with anyone, anywhere. They taught us that people don’t care if you speak their language. They will be warm and welcoming as soon as we take a moment to try and communicate. PSP took away Karen’s voice, but it could never take away her talent for connecting to people.

PSP was devastating to both Karen and Tom. In a way, however, it was also purifying. Tom was completely dedicated to and focused on caring for his soul mate. As she lost her ability to care for herself, Karen remained determined, compassionate, and focused on others. She was pure love.

Visitation Services are scheduled from 11am to 1pm on Sunday February 7, 2016 at RumseyYost Funeral Home in Lawrence.

Markus CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Now, while continuing the day-to-day in Iowa City — days that usually start before 8 a.m. and are filled with meetings, putting him home sometime before 6:30 p.m. — he’s directing his focus toward Lawrence.

“I think the transition is going well,” he said. “I’ve heard from a lot of people from Lawrence welcoming me… They’re all kind of, you know, waiting to see who this new person is and how he operates.”

Markus, 64, is expecting to start his job in Lawrence in less than two months, on March 21.

The changeover, he said, includes a deluge of projects to wrap up in his current role as Iowa City’s city manager — budget planning, development initiatives, acclimating new city council members — while researching Lawrence’s history in his off-time and devising a plan for his first 100 days at his new job.

Like much else having to do with city governance, Markus has experience transitioning.

Lawrence will be Markus’ sixth move in his professional career and the fifth city since 1977 in which he’s served in the top nonelected post.

“I’ve been an outsider a lot,” he said. “That doesn’t bother me much.”

People who have worked with Markus in Iowa City during the past five years — some daily or weekly, some only occasionally — described him again and again as “confident” and “direct” — a leader who didn’t let conflict at City Hall seep into personal relationships.

Some painted a picture of Markus as a candid guy from a blue-collar family — a hunter, mentor and father figure. Others saw him as a “new urbanist” and “progressive pragmatic.” They said he was running the “People’s Republic of Johnson County” (a long-standing nickname for Iowa City, which, like Lawrence, leans more liberal than its surroundings) in a more conservative direction than what some of the population agreed with.

“I try to do what I think is right,” Markus said.

“That doesn’t necessarily mean people agree with it. And in this business, there’s always somebody who doesn’t agree with the direction you take.”

A new urbanist Walking through Iowa City’s downtown pedestrian mall — a mix of retail, office space and dining adjacent from the University of Iowa campus — former City Council member Rick Dobyns motioned toward two inordinately tall structures that, along with a third high-rise in the works, have created some local contention.

One local development group is behind the three projects, one of which — the decade-old, mixeduse Plaza Towers — includes a pair of 11-story towers. The oth- Dobyns er, Park@201, is a 14-story tower housing retail, office and apartment space that was developed during Markus’ tenure.

Dobyns relayed that some local critics of the developments think it creates an “unwelcoming and unfriendly” skyline — that some prefer the “softer” brownstone look over the metal-and-glass structures that rise high above grade level.

According to the Iowa City Press-Citizen, opponents have also been critical of the city’s decision to provide the developer with financial assistance by way of tax increment financing for his third

many respects,” Hayek said. “It’s going to be a different council.”

About the timing of Markus’ departure, Hayek said, “I’m going to let people draw their own conclusions.”

‘His fingerprints’ Hayek hired Markus and spent five years working alongside him as mayor. In the past five years, Hayek experienced the loss of his father, and his relationship with Markus, whom is 20 years his senior, strengthened.

To him, Markus’ departure is a “real loss for Iowa City.”

“Iowa City’s loss is Lawrence’s gain,” he said.

“I’m happy for Lawrence because they’re getting a phenomenal executive.

I’m going to miss him.”

Besides his work in economic development, Markus created a succession plan for city staff, implemented a strategic planning process to the City Council — something Markus has said he’s bringing with him to Lawrence — and ensured the city is stable financially.

Becci Reedus, the director of The Crisis Center of Johnson County, would point to another project as one of his most important. She gives Markus some credit for the successful collaboration between her nonprofit and three others, all of which located in 2013 into one 7,000-square-

foot building in an effort to minimize overhead costs.

Reedus said Markus revitalized the local groups’ fundraising campaign to redesign the building by recommending the city contribute $100,000 if the groups could raise the remaining $200,000 needed.

It was a type of collaboration she — and Markus — thought was needed in a time of limited funding for nonprofits, she said.

“It gave us the final emotional push we needed, but it also gave the campaign a new life,” Reedus said. “We easily met our match. I’ve always given credit to Tom Markus for really pushing that.”

Josh Schamberger, the director of the Convention and Visitors Bureau for Iowa City, Coralville and North Liberty, said Markus has backed him in

He said he’s coming to Lawrence knowing he needs to stay at least five years to have an effect.

“I had choices to make,” he said. “When the headhunter sent me the information, I took a hard look at it and thought, ‘This is a different kind of opportunity again.’ It’s still in a university town, and it’s a larger operation.”

“I was really making a decision about time. That’s something I had to give a lot of thought to… I have friends who have retired when they were 55.

Markus’ anticipated start date is March 21.

According to his contract, he must establish residency in Lawrence within six months of his appointment.

His wife, Deb, was in Lawrence the last week of January looking for a home, Markus said.

Nancy Quellhorst, the president of the Iowa City Area Chamber of Commerce, lived in Lawrence for 14 years before she and her husband moved to Iowa. She expects Markus, whom she’s called her mentor, will have a “very easy transition.”

“They’re both academic communities, they’re both high-energy communities with good people who care deeply,” Quellhorst said. “There are so many similarities; I know he’ll love Lawrence. It’s a great place, and he’ll find that.”

Markus also worked on what Fruin said was the largest completed project, cost-wise, in the city’s history: the expansion of its south wastewater treatment plant.

Markus also “has his fingerprints” on what will be the city’s largest project, the $60 million elevation of Dubuque Street, which runs parallel to the Iowa River at points and is the city’s main thoroughfare off Interstate 80.

a new planning process is also how he started his tenure in Iowa City.

City Council members Markus has worked with in Iowa City explained that in the planning process, council members, with a facilitator, would decide on a half-dozen strategic areas to focus on over the course of two years.

Those are voted on, and proposed projects or other items brought up over the following years are related back to the plan.

Besides strategic planning, Markus said he wants to involve Kansas University students with the city more, partly by creating ex-officio positions for them on city boards.

He said he’s also mentioned to Mayor Mike Amyx that there are “an awful lot” of City Commission meetings (the commission meets weekly). In Iowa City, Markus moved the council to biweekly meetings, but he hasn’t made any decisions yet on changes to Lawrence’s schedule.

“I hope to have some thoughts on that after I’ve been there a while and make some suggestions on efficiencies all the way through,” Markus said.

Markus is also bringing what he learned about

EDITORIALS

Funding grab The Children’s Initiative Fund has found some support in the Kansas Legislature, but the battle for those programs isn’t over.

T

he governor’s plan to sweep $57 million from a fund earmarked for children’s programs into the state general fund thankfully has hit a significant roadblock in the Kansas Legislature.

Gov. Brownback’s latest proposal to deal with the state’s ongoing revenue shortfall included plans to eliminate the Children’s Initiatives Fund created as part of the nationwide tobacco settlement. Although the governor said that all of the children’s programs that currently benefit from the CIF still would be fully funded, that money no longer would be set aside specifically for those programs.

Children’s advocates are understandably concerned that children’s programs will find it difficult to compete with other demands for general fund money. It seems obvious that if the governor didn’t need to use the CIF money for other purposes, there would be no reason to take it away from the children’s fund.

On Thursday, the House Appropriations Committee passed a budget plan that scraps the governor’s sweep of children’s funds. Noting that a recent efficiency study highlighted the CIF as one of the state’s most transparent and efficient uses of money, the committee canceled the sweep of most of the CIF money. However, it still would allow the transfer of $7.2 million from the fund which would be offset with federal money from the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families block grant.

Lawrence residents may have read recently about plans to shift funding for the local Parents as Teachers program to TANF. Instead of taking former CIF money back from the general fund to cover that program, Brownback called for replacing those funds with TANF money.

The only problem is that only families that meet low-income guidelines set for TANF recipients could continue to participate in Parents as Teachers without paying a fee. The program, which works with parents and provides an opportunity to address many issues that could impact a child’s development, currently is available to everyone at no cost.

Not only would setting the income requirements likely limit participation in this important program, it also would create new administrative expenses. Kansas Action for Children estimates that the added costs of administering Parents as Teachers — the need to verify family incomes and bill families who would have to pay — would amount to about $1 million. That’s $1 million that would be taken away from children’s services in the state.

Hopefully, the House Appropriations Committee’s plan uses TANF money in a way that doesn’t create new problems or barriers for Parents as Teachers or any other program currently funded by the children’s fund.

The battle for the Children’s Initiatives Fund is not over. The Senate Ways and Means Committee is scheduled on Monday to consider a different budget bill that includes the $57 million CIF sweep. Hopefully its members also will see the wisdom of preserving a program that was founded to benefit the children of Kansas and has effectively used its funding to promote that goal.

Views of football may be changing Washington — Settling unhappily into his Super Bowl seat, Himalayan high behind the end zone, Joe spots an empty seat low and on the 50yard line. He descends to it and asks the man seated next to him why the wonderful seat is unoccupied. The man says, “It’s mine. I was supposed to come with my wife, but she died. This is the first Super Bowl since 1967 we have not attended together.”

Joe says: “But couldn’t you find a friend or relative to come with you today?” The man replies: “No, they’re all at the funeral.”

This story (from “Heidegger and a Hippo Walk Through Those Pearly Gates: Using Philosophy (and Jokes!) to Explore Life, Death, the Afterlife, and Everything in Between,” by Thomas Cathcart and Daniel Klein) prepares you for gathering around the national campfire that is the annual Super Bowl telecast. Super Bowls are so august they are usually denoted with Roman numerals.

This year’s, however, is designated Super Bowl 50 because Super Bowl L looks weird. It should be called the 50th (or Lth) Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy Bowl.

Last week, The New York Times reported that after Ken Stabler died of colon cancer in July at 69, his brain was sent, as he had directed, to scientists in Massachusetts. His mind, according to his daughter, “was definitely in a pretty quick downward spiral.” The scientists determined that Stabler, the Oakland Raiders

The NFL’s fondness for Roman numerals is appropriate because the game is gladiatorial, as Romans enjoyed entertainment featuring people maiming and being maimed for the entertainment of spectators. But things change.” quarterback in Super Bowl XI (1977), who played 15 seasons in the NFL, had, on a scale of 1 to 4, “high Stage 3” CTE, a degenerative brain disease associated with repeated blows to the head, including blows not severe enough to produce immediate symptoms of concussion. Stabler probably will be voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, making him the eighth member among the more than 100 former players known to have had CTE. Quarterbacks are somewhat protected, by their offensive line and by NFL rules, from football’s worst violence. But the Times also reported that Earl Morrall, the Miami Dolphins’ quarterback in Super Bowl VII (1973), had

Stage 4 CTE when he died in 2014 at 79. And last month, Jim McMahon, 56, another 15-season NFL quarterback, said he considers medicinal marijuana a “godsend” as he copes with headaches and difficulties associated with his diagnosis of early onset dementia. He played for the victorious Chicago Bears in Super Bowl XX (1986).

How many deceased players had, and how many former players have, or how many current players will have, CTE is unknown because it can only be confirmed by autopsy. Its symptoms, however, are similar to those of dementia.

Football’s kinetic energy is increasing as the players become bigger and even the biggest become faster. In 1980, only three NFL players weighed 300 or more pounds.

This season, 354 did, including seven 350-pounders.

Sunday’s game will be 60 minutes of football — an adrenaline-and-testosterone bath stretched by commercial breaks (two of them called “two-minute warnings”), replay challenges and other delays to about 200 minutes — embedded in an all-day broadcast of manufactured frenzy. It would be nice, but probably fanciful, to think that even 1 percent of tonight’s expected television audience of more than 110 million will have qualms about the ethics of their enjoyment.

The NFL’s fondness for Roman numerals is appropriate because the game

is gladiatorial, as Romans enjoyed entertainment featuring people maiming and being maimed for the entertainment of spectators. But things change.

Capital punishment was not considered among the “cruel and unusual punishments” in 1791 when the Eighth Amendment was ratified; every state used the death penalty and the Fifth Amendment assumes its existence. In 1958, the Supreme Court held that the Eighth Amendment “must draw its meaning from the evolving standards of decency that mark the progress of a maturing society.” Our society would emphatically say the Eighth Amendment forbids ear-cropping, branding and the pillory, punishments used in 1791.

Standards evolve concerning amusements, too. Someday, boxing might seem as repugnant as bearbaiting and cockfighting now do. Or maybe not, given the growing popularity of “mixed martial arts” cage fighting, which is degenerative prizefighting.

The phrase “evolving standards” is synonymous with “improving standards.”

Are today’s parents, who put crash helmets on tykes before they put the tykes on tricycles, going to allow these children to play football? Not likely. This game will be different, or much less popular — or perhaps both — when in 2066 the national campfire is lit for Super Bowl C. — George Will is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

U.S. politics takes surreal turn As he rode to his annihilation at Little Big Horn, Custer’s Indian guide warned him; “Today, you and I are going home on a road we do not know.” I fear that we are heading down such a path today. Our government is dysfunctional, incapable of reform. The foundations of the republic — balance of powers, checks and balances — are in disarray. The legislature doesn’t legislate, the Supreme Court makes judgments according to political bias rather than judicial ideals, the executive branch ignores Congress, and the Constitution and acts by whim and fiat.

The United States has fallen in the ranks of economic freedom. The economy wallows in stagnation. Bloated regulations conceived by unelected, unaccountable, incompetent bureaucracies discourage business formation, thwarting growth and job creation.

Our foreign policy operates according to a perverse logic: Embrace your enemies, abandon your friends. Our political parties have been hijacked by extremists of the right and left. No one represents the moderate majority. We have no shared values, no common ground. We can‘t talk to one another. We can’t stand one another. If you believe in compromise and consensus, you’re not a true conservative or a true progressive. Never has government been in such low esteem, yet never have

Don’t be surprised if one of the candidates proposes deporting all Muslims who refuse to convert to Christianity or requiring every man, woman and child to carry a concealed weapon. How can anyone respect or believe in these sleazy egomaniacs?

As the Crew Cuts once crooned, “Life could be a dream.” Let’s hope it is. There’s always the comforting words of John Maynard Keynes: “In the end we all die.” Now altogether, everyone: “Hello, hello again, sha-boom and hopin’ we’ll meet again, life could be a dream, sweetheart.”

people expected government to do more things, an oxymoron that’s a sure sign of a confused electorate.

A public informed by common sense and rationality would be happy to have an adult president with a modest agenda for practical reforms.

But candidates who’ve had some experience and success in government don’t excite the public. They represent the “establishment” and the establishment must go. We prefer someone with no record, no coherent policies, someone to entertain us, to “tell it like it is.”

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Feb. 7, 1916: “A suit years for the recovery ago of $25,000 damIN 1916 ages was filed yesterday afternoon in district court by Annie Irene Clopton of Madison, Kansas, against Thomas Trotter of Baldwin. The petition alleges that in 1898, when the plaintiff was sixteen months of age, she was thrown from a farm wagon in which she was riding with her parents, when the team was frightened by an attack of a very vicious bulldog owned by Thomas Trotter. The petition further states that Mr. Trotter knew that the dog was a menace to the neighborhood. Miss Clopton alleges that she has suffered spasms and great pain on account of the accident. The petition also states that she is partially paralyzed as a result of being thrown from the wagon, and has been ever since the accident. She asked $10,000 for the suffering resulting from the runaway and $15,000 damages for permanent injuries.”

“K. D.

“The Journal-World takes a good deal of pleasure in stating that the two little daughters of Mr. and Mrs. E. O.

All of the family were given antitoxin, but with the little one who passed away, the disease developed so rapidly that the anti-toxin was of no avail.

Kansas unlikely to join effort to tighten gun laws for abusers Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Kansas appears unlikely to join more than two dozen states that have passed laws in the last two years making it more difficult for domestic abusers to possess weapons, a state representative who introduced a similar law during the 2015 legislative session said.

Rep. Barbara Bollier, RMission Hills, proposed a bill that would have created a gun violence restraining order to allow courts and law enforcement to seize firearms and prohibit domestic abusers from having weapons. The bill called for a court hear-

ing and specific evidence before a weapon could be removed. The subject of the order would have had a chance to appeal.

Bollier said the measures would protect people who live with domestic abuse. But she does not believe the bill will get traction this year because of the state’s strong pro-gun climate.

“I am not anti-gun. But most people are against gun violence,” she said.

“It would seem to me these groups could work together somehow. Not this year.”

But the last meeting the shelter had was in 2014, even though the quarterly meetings are required by the Special Use Permit that the city granted the nonprofit shelter when it moved to Franklin Park Circle.

The Rev. Peter Luckey, a shelter board member and senior pastor of Plymouth Congregational Church, said the shelter had been working through financial issues.

To make ends meet in 2015, the shelter’s board requested $100,000 from the city of Lawrence and Douglas County last summer. The shelter also had to pay the Internal Revenue Service $37,000 in back payroll taxes.

A city audit in December warned that the agency could face more financial problems this year.

ongoing for more than two years, and Nugent and Kansas University officials are preparing to suggest to the City Commission that the hub be constructed as part of a new parking deck on KU’s campus.

If a new hub is built, it’s likely the bus routes will change and the amenities — including the ones being installed now — will have to be relocated.

“At this point we had no intentions of actually putting amenities out, but the commission seems to want to put them out, so we’re going to put them out,” Nugent said. “I don’t know what’s going to happen when we get a new transit center. We’re probably going to have to

“We are,” Luckey said.

“The board has been fully apprised of the problems of our neighbors. The Lawrence Community Shelter has always tried to work as diligently as we can with the neighbors and to have as good a relationship as we can.”

But recent interviews with residents in the Prairie Park Neighborhood indicated they have numerous concerns.

Lindsey McCaig, Prairie Park Neighborhood Association president, said the neighborhood did not have trespassing

and other problems before the shelter moved next door, and she expressed concern about the upkeep of the shelter and its possible impact on property values.

“Our neighborhood did not have these problems before they moved in,” McCaig said. “The onus is now on us to make them comply. Why is it my responsibility?”

move a number of them.”

Nugent said he was unsure of the total cost of adding the 15 benches.

Benches cost $750 each, but the cost of the concrete and easements is different for each location.

Nugent and his staff are working now to install benches at two locations on Haskell Avenue where residents had placed chairs painted with the words “bus bench.”

At Haskell Avenue and 15th Street — a stop that averages 11 boardings per day, according to city data — the transit system has purchased an easement from property owners and developed the site plan and is waiting on concrete to be poured.

A bench has already been installed at Haskell Avenue and LaSalle Street, which sees an average of 22 passengers a day.

The Lawrence Transit

System also contacted the Kansas City Area Transportation Authority about putting a bench at Haskell Avenue and 19th Street, which is serviced by the K-10 Connector.

Students at the Peaslee Technical Training Center are working on the design of a shelter and bench at the bus stops at their school. Students will create the bench and install it on the property, with the city’s assistance.

The transit system has identified other locations for amenities, Nugent said.

The system will communicate with property owners and is planning to have the benches in place by spring.

There are no plans currently to add more benches after the 15 are installed, Nugent said.

Sen. Forrest Knox, RAltoona, said support for such measures from gunrights advocates would depend on the specifics of how and why the weapons would be confiscated.

Consuming Too Many Sugars Doubles Risk of Heart Death Consuming large amounts of dietary sugars can double the risk of dying from heart disease, according to a study by researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Georgia.

Quanhe Yang, PhD, and his colleagues analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, which included nutrition and medical information from the late 1980s through 2010. The data was based on questionnaires completed by 31,147 people.

Yang and his colleagues calculated the consumption of “all sugars used in processed or prepared foods, such as sugar-sweetened beverages, grain-based desserts, fruit drinks, dairy desserts, candy, ready-to-eat cereals, and yeast breads.” However, they did not include naturally occurring sugars, such as those found in fruit and fruit juices.

People who consumed 10 percent of their calories as sugars—sucrose, high-fructose corn syrup, and other caloric sweeteners—had a 30 percent greater risk of dying from cardiovascular diseases. Those who consumed 25 percent of their calories as sugars were almost three times more likely to die from cardiovascular diseases, compared with people who consumed less than 10 percent of their calories from sugars.“Most U.S. adults consume more added sugar than is recommended for a healthy diet,” wrote Yang and his colleagues.

Reference: Yang Q, Shang Z, Gregg EW, et al. Added sugar intake and cardiovascular disease mortality among US adults. JAMA Internal Medicine, 2014: doi 10.1001/jamainternmed.2013.13563.

It’s Not Just the Soft Drinks, Folks Researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill analyzed the consumption of low-calorie and calorie-sweetened soft drinks and accompanying eating habits. They found that people consuming such drinks ate lower quality diets compared with people who did not drink such beverages.

Ubiquinone and ubiquinol are both forms of CoQ10, which the body uses to produce the cellular energy that drives all physiological processes. It also acts as a powerful antioxidant, protecting proteins, fats, and DNA from oxidative damage. Young bodies in good health cycle back and forth between ubiquinone and ubiquinol—the “reduced,” or antioxidant form—but this natural conversion process slows with age. A number of human studies have shown that in older adults, ubiquinol can significantly increase blood levels of CoQ10 for longer periods of time, compared to ubiquinone. Experts recommend that you opt for ubiquinol if you are over the age of 40 to maintain healthy blood levels to support optimal energy production, antioxidant protection, and cardiovascular and neurological health.*

2nd in N.H. polls, Rubio becomes target in GOP debate Paul Singer and David Jackson USA TODAY

MANCHESTER , N. H .

Sen. Marco Rubio did not have the center podium at the Republican presidential debate Saturday, but was a prime target for the other contenders.

Coming off a strong third-place finish in Iowa, the Florida senator is now in second in New Hampshire, according to most polls.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said Rubio “is a smart person and a good guy” but then peppered him with attacks, saying he does not have enough decision-making

experience to be president. “You have not been involved in a consequential decision, where you had to be held accountable,” he said.

Rubio fired back that Christie’s experience is in leading New Jersey into failure, with repeated downgrades of its credit rating.

Rubio repeatedly tried to change the focus to President Obama, saying several times the president is trying to fundamentally change America. “All this damage that he’s done to America is deliberate,” Rubio said.

Rubio was not alone in taking flak. Jeb Bush attacked Donald Trump for using eminent domain

Sen. Marco Rubio and Donald Trump are the focus of attacks by fellow candidates in a GOP presidential debate Saturday.

— the government’s power to take private property — to kick an elderly woman out of her home for a casino project. Trump waved off the attack, saying the project never went through, and Bush just “wants to be a tough guy.”

Several candidates took “tough guy” stances on foreign policy.

Trump said he would bring back waterboarding and interrogation tactics “a hell of a lot worse”; Christie said he would pursue drug criminals across the Mexican border even without cooperation of the Mexican government; and Bush said he would consider a pre-emptive military strike against North Korea.

In Iowa, voters finally had their first say on the 2016 race, and the results proved surprising.

Now it’s on to New Hampshire, but before that, here’s the top news from politics last week:

SEAN RAYFORD, GETTY IMAGES

TRUMP SAYS HE’S OVER IOWA Donald Trump came up short in Iowa, losing to Ted Cruz. Monday night, Trump was congratulatory, saying he was “honored” to have finished second. That was shortlived. By Wednesday, he said Cruz “stole” Iowa, in part because Cruz’s campaign disseminated an erroneous report to caucusgoers that Ben Carson was dropping out of the race.

Cruz would later apologize to Carson for not correcting that information. By Thursday, Trump seemed to have moved on. He told CNN’s Anderson Cooper that he was “so much” into New Hampshire that “I don’t care about that anymore.”

CLINTON TO VISIT FLINT Hillary Clinton will take a pause from campaigning in the Granite State on Sunday to visit Flint, Mich., which is grappling with a crisis over lead-contaminated water. Her opponent, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, has called for Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder to resign.

Meanwhile, the Democratic National Committee announced it was adding more debates to the schedule, including one in Flint on March 6.

GEORGE W. BUSH TO CAMPAIGN FOR JEB Jeb Bush certainly can’t escape his last name, so as he looks to revive his now long-shot 2016 bid, he’s trying to use it to his advantage. His mother, former first lady Barbara Bush, was on the campaign trail in New Hampshire with him last week.

He told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that brother George W. Bush, the nation’s 43rd president, also will be campaigning with him in South Carolina. The former president filmed an ad for Right to Rise, the super PAC backing his brother, that was out last week.

Thousands of Taiwanese rescue and military personnel worked feverishly Saturday hoping to locate scores of people missing after a magnitude-6.4 earthquake struck near the city of Tainan along the island’s southeastern coast.

At least 15 were killed and about 150 are missing in the quake that collapsed several buildings, including a high-rise in Tainan, a city of 1.8 million, according to CNA, the official Taiwan news agency.

More than 250 residents lived in the 17-story residential building. A 10-day-old girl was found dead in the arms of her father, who was also killed, Reuters reported. Of the 15 killed, 11 were found in the building.

Questions were immediately raised about construction of the fallen high-rise, which folded like an accordion onto its side, the Associated Press reported. Taiwan’s Interior Ministry said there would be an investigation.

Rescuers work over rubble at the site of a collapsed building in the southern Taiwanese city of Tainan on Saturday after a strong magnitude-6.4 earthquake.

About 340 people were rescued in Tainan and there were nearly 500 injuries, although most were listed as minor, according to the CNA. Two people were pulled from the rubble at night nearly 24 hours after the quake struck.

U.S. State Department spokesman John Kirby issued a state-

ment Saturday expressing “deepest condolences over the recent devastation and loss of life caused by the earthquake in southern Taiwan. The heartfelt thoughts of the American people are with all those affected in Taiwan.”

Hung Chung-jye, chief surgeon at the National Chen Kung Uni-

versity Hospital in Tainan, where many patients were transported, said most of the injuries were minor and only 13 of 65 victims treated there were admitted, according to The New York Times.

The Taiwan News reported one boy was found when rescuers followed the sound of a meowing cat that was with the child. Water supplies were cut to 400,000 residents; about 120,000 were without power. High-speed rail service was halted to the southern half of the island, according to media reports.

The disaster occurred two days before the Lunar New Year celebration. Authorities feared that many of the buildings had higher occupancy rates as families gathered ahead of the holiday. Gas leaks and water pipe ruptures were reported throughout the city. Sirens wailed as authorities responded.

The quake struck about 4 a.m. local time Saturday and was felt as far away as mainland China.

U.S. Geological Survey geophysicist Paul Caruso told the Los Angeles Times it was relatively shallow at 6 miles underground and thus capable of causing greater damage. It was located 22 miles southeast of Yujing.

Committee (SNCC) activist and producer of PBS’ Eyes on the Prize series, which is being shown again this month on WORLD channel.

Insecurity among whites who fear progress by blacks will cost them economic status and political power is to blame, Richardson said. She pointed to lynchings and stepped-up efforts to deny voting rights after black veterans returned from World War II, and Southern lawmakers’ actions to retain segregated schools after the Supreme Court’s landmark 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision ordered integration.

Richardson lived in New York in 1986, when white youths beat and then chased Michael Griffith, a 23-year-old man from Trinidad who was fatally struck by a car in Howard Beach while running away. There was the 1982 death of Willie Turks, pulled from a car in Brooklyn by an angry white mob, and Yusef Hawkins, shot to death in 1989 after being attacked by a crowd of whites in New York.

The failure of a grand jury to indict a New York police officer in Eric Garner’s chokehold death reminded Richardson of a New York state judge’s 1985 dismissal of an indictment against an officer for shooting to death Eleanor Bumpurs, a diabetic 66-year-old Bronx woman, during an argument over her eviction.

UCLA sociology professor Joshua Bloom said violence against blacks seems more frequent now because of cellphones and social media. When police in Ferguson, Mo., used tanks and tear gas against protesters after the 2014 shooting of unarmed teen Michael Brown by a white police officer, cellphone video and images went viral.

page from the civil rights movement and “find ways of making business as usual impossible” for those who perpetuate such violence against blacks, he said.

Bloom, author of Black Against Empire, a history of the Black Panther Party, said the Panthers launched their own investigation into the shooting deaths of Panthers Fred Hampton and Mark Clark by Chicago police in 1969, and galvanized public opinion against the police. He contrasted that with protests for details in Garner’s death, which he said were not as effective.

Bree Newsome, 30, an artist and civil rights activist in Charlotte, said she and others in the Black Lives Matter movement were spurred to action by the

July 2013 verdict that found George Zimmerman not guilty in the shooting death of unarmed teen Trayvon Martin in Florida.

Aggressive police tactics against protesters in Ferguson were a turning point for activists who had attended rallies recalling the spirit, but not the danger, of 1960s-era demonstrations. “It was the first time we realized that you could still die from doing this work,” Newsome said.

The Charleston shooting deaths of Pastor Clementa Pinckney and eight others in Emanuel AME Church by a white supremacist has parallels to the 1963 bombing of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Ala. Newsome said she removed the Confederate battle flag from the South Carolina Statehouse flagpole in response to galvanize people “to really show defiance to that kind of terror.” The state legislature later voted to remove the flag permanently.

The Rev. William Barber II, architect of North Carolina’s Moral Monday rallies and author of the book The Third Reconstruction, said the type of multiracial coalition that elected President Obama is needed to push the country toward longer lasting gains for all.

“We have to build an indigenously led, bottom-up, deeply moral and constitutional, projustice transformative movement,” Barber said.

Richardson expressed optimism that such a coalition will emerge from the Black Lives Matter movement and will be a lasting force for positive change.

“What’s amazing about this movement is that it’s black, white, Latino, Asian kids who are really getting together on this,” she said.

Veteran activists who experienced the violence of the 1960s shouldn’t give up their work, Richardson added. “We’re going to walk this road together.”

IN BRIEF FIVE SKIERS KILLED IN ALPS DURING MASSIVE AVALANCHE

Five skiers from the Czech Republic were killed Saturday in an avalanche that engulfed 17 people in the Austrian Alps.

Two skiers were injured and 10 were unharmed, local police told the Associated Press.

Tirol police spokesman Helmut Schuetz said the skiers were in two separate groups when they were struck by the avalanche around noon in the Wattener Lizum region. The avalanche was 1.25 miles wide and 16 feet high, The Telegraph reported.

Rescue workers aided by dogs and helicopters launched a search. Some of the skiers were able to dig themselves out of the snow, the BBC reported. The injured were taken to hospitals.

“It was one massive avalanche, several hundred meters (yards) wide and long,” Schuetz told AP. “It was many tons of snow.”

Millennials: Wild card on health care v CONTINUED FROM 1B

to handle the needs of its customers. Martinez’s experience includes being told he could not see a dermatologist in Reno but could meet with one in a month about 30 miles away in Carson City.

For someone used to quickly ordering products and services from the convenience of his smartphone or tablet and having them on his doorstep the next day, Martinez says the archaic structure behind the health care system just doesn’t cut it. This is especially true for Millennials weaned on the Internet age, he added.

“We’re the instant-gratification generation,” Martinez said. “I don’t want to wait two months for a delivery on a pair of shoes.”

With a presidential election fast approaching, health care is an issue that’s getting plenty of traction on both sides of the political aisle.

Amid all the debate, however, one group could prove to be the wild card. As more Millennials interact with the health care system, the industry will find itself facing a more sophisticated and demanding group that won’t stand for its inefficiencies with the same begrudging acceptance of previous generations, said Kathy Hempstead, director of insurance coverage for the Robert Woods Johnson Foundation.

“Older people have sort of gotten used to interacting with health care providers in certain ways, even though the rest of the service sector has made all these improvements in customer service while the health care industry hasn’t,” Hempstead said. “I think Millennials are going to give the health care industry more impetus to really improve the customer service part of what they do.”

Bayo Curry-Winchell has an inside track on what Millennials think about health care. In addition to having a background in family medicine, the Saint Mary’s Urgent Care administrator is a Millennial herself. “My generation is all about convenience and preventive health,” Curry-Winchell said. “We don’t want to see the doctor in person, which is one reason why we want to stay healthy.”

Although older generations such as Baby Boomers value cultivating relationships with their family doctor, for example, Millennials are proving to be a different lot. “If you look at the demands of Millennials on our society as consumers, they are a group that uses services such as Amazon and the Internet who aren’t really used to person-to-person service per se,” said Ron Rowes, chief medical officer of Prominence Health Plan. “They’re used to reaching out when they need something, getting instant gratification, moving on and only coming back when they have the need again.”

It’s a behavior that’s starting to make its mark on the health care field and is expected to lead to even bigger changes as Millennials get older. At the top of the list

“My generation is all about convenience and preventive health.”

“Maybe it’s because I’m self-employed and have to pay everything out of my own pocket, but I’m extremely conscious of price.”

Krysta Bea Jackson, 34, owner of a Reno-based chocolate shop called Sugar Love

is how health care is provided.

Daniel Spogen, who chairs the University of Nevada Department of Family Medicine, is already seeing a difference in doctors’ relationships with patients. Older generations, for example, develop a personal relationship with their doctor, whom they expect to be there for them 24/7 in case of an emergency. “My older patients will say, ‘Dr. Spogen is my doctor,’” Spogen said. “I don’t get that same kind of ownership as much with my younger patients.”

Part of the reason is that Millennials are mostly healthy so they don’t need to see their doctors as frequently. The most pressing health issues for Millennials usually involve car accidents, injuries and pregnancy, not chronic illnesses such as heart disease and diabetes, according to Rowes.

Millennials aren’t as tied to the idea that they must have one specific doctor be their physician. For standard checkups and consultations, some don’t even feel the need to see a doctor at all. Instead, many Millennials are content with seeing a nurse practitioner or physician’s assistant.

“Part of it is that they’re healthier but it’s also how they consume goods and services in general,” said John Packham, director of health policy research at the University of Nevada School of Medicine. “It’s kind of consistent with them being the generation that doesn’t go to the malls but have Amazon Prime.”

The behavior is helping fuel the rise of quick-service retail clinics from CVS, Walmart and Walgreens that are staffed by nurse practitioners and physician’s assistants. It is also cited as another factor in increased urgent-care center usage, although doctor shortages and population play a key role in that as well.

Between 2006 and 2014, the number of retail clinics in the United States grew by nearly 900% from 200 to 1,800, according to the Robert Woods Johnson Foundation. By 2012, retail clinic visits also grew sevenfold to 10.5 million, which represents 2% of all primary care encounters in the country.

Although such services are used by consumers of all ages, Millennials are posting the highest usage rate. A PNC Healthcare survey, found that 34% of people ages 18 to 34 prefer retail clinics — about double the rate of 17% for Baby Boomers and 15% for older seniors.

Tucked in the basement of a historic building that once served as downtown Reno’s main post office is one Millennial’s labor of love that’s aptly called Sugar Love.

Just before her candy store’s grand opening, 34-year-old owner Krysta Bea Jackson was brought down by something decidedly unsweet — a nasty cold that set back her store opening preparation a bit. It also reminded her of one of her biggest concerns as a small business owner: health care.

“Luckily, I’ve also been working at (the University of Nevada-Reno) for the last three years but I graduate in May, which is when my contract with them ends,” Jackson said. “I’m actually a little bit nervous about looking at health insurance.”

As someone who also does taxes on the side, Jackson has looked up insurance rates under the Affordable Care Act. What she learned is that it may not necessarily be affordable for her, but she also does not want to be without health insurance.

Although Millennials typically don’t go to the doctor as often as older populations, Jackson’s own history combined with the standard health concerns that come with being a woman make health coverage important for her. She also exhibits one common trait shared by Millennials about health care.

“Maybe it’s because I’m selfemployed and have to pay everything out of my own pocket, but I’m extremely conscious of price,” Jackson said.

Although 8% of the U.S. general population asks for a discount on medical care, that number jumps to 19% for Millennials ages 25 to 34, according to a 2015 report by global auditing and consulting firm PwC. Millennials also topped a 2012 Deloitte survey as the generation that is most cost-conscious. It’s the group that’s most willing to switch doctors, use retail clinics and travel farther in order to save money on health care.

The question now is whether Millennials have the clout to force the kind of change that is being placed on the generation’s shoulders. After decades of rising health care costs and worsening customer service with seemingly no improvement, it’s understandable to look at the influence ascribed to Millennials as more pie-in-the-sky proclamations.

As Millennials take over the workforce, however, they gain something that any industry values most: spending power. In 2014, Millennials accounted for a quarter of the U.S. population, according to a report by market research firm Mintel. By 2020, the generation as a whole is expected to spend $1.4 trillion each year, the report said.

It’s the kind of financial clout that’s already making its mark on the health care sector as well.

Once it’s clear that there is money to be made, even the slowestmoving industry will be sure to capitalize, according to Packham.

Ultimately, the monetization of health care just might be what makes it more user-friendly.

“Millennials’ expectations of health care are different than my generation and that will affect change,” Packham said. “The system might be a bit slower to respond, but I do think that the medical practices and health care providers that manage to resolve this will have a competitive edge.”

Millennials are the instantgratification generation, which is helping fuel the rise of quick-service retail clinics from CVS, Walmart and Walgreens that are staffed by nurse practitioners and physician’s assistants.

POLITICS

Getting the Snapchat generation to the polls If Millennials thought 2016 election hinged on them, it would open doors Liz Kelly Nelson

USA TODAY NETWORK

I’m a Gen-Xer, so I know apathy when I see it. That’s part of what inspired a program I’m working on at the USA TODAY NETWORK called One Nation.

Let me explain: If Millennials, the oft-cited and much-measured generation born between 1981 and 1997, go to the polls in November, they would be the largest voting bloc in the country. Yes, this means the Snapchat generation could steer our collective future. But will Millennials — often maligned as “narcissistic,” “coddled” and “entitled” — vote? And do they realize their power?

In a joint USA TODAY/Rock

the Vote poll conducted in January, two-thirds of Millennials polled said voting was a responsibility and would encourage their friends and family to vote.

But only half agreed their vote could change the outcome of the election.

Based on those results, I’m going to go ahead and assume that they don’t actually realize their power. So with that in mind, we hatched One Nation’s organizing principles: Millennials need to connect with our boring old civics model by recognizing their individual-to-group power (hence the program’s “I am one of One” tagline) and, to get them in the door, we needed to amp up the fun factor.

Millennials aren’t easily swayed by party platforms or

particular candidates. Their motivation is inspired by specific issues — top among them gun safety legislation and renewable energy, which affect them personally. Or, to put it a different

way: “What’s in it for me?”

One Nation takes a different approach. Rather than connect our audience with candidates, we seek to draw a direct line between the issues that matter to Millennials and how their seemingly insignificant vote becomes powerful when you start adding up all of these separate “special snowflakes” into a Snowzilla-like storm of social change.

I’ve been working on this project, with a cast of seemingly thousands across USA TODAY and 92 local network newspapers, for the past year. The idea is a simple progression: 1. Engage Millennials around election issues, 2. Give them the knowledge (read: power) they need to make informed decisions, 3. Get them registered to vote.

One Nation kicked off in Des Moines two weeks ahead of the Iowa caucuses with an event all about energy. The main attrac-

tion was a panel of energy experts who were able to put aside policy wonky jibber-jabber to truly communicate what our energy future could look like five or 10 years from now depending on which path we take as a country.

Next week, One Nation is setting up shop in Reno, where, along with The Reno GazetteJournal, we’ll take over Cargo Concert Hall on Thursday to talk about health care issues.

Then, it’s on to Phoenix in March to talk immigration and to Palm Springs (during the Millennial-heavy Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival week) to concentrate on climate change.

Anti-immigration groups rally across Europe In Germany, protesters call for Merkel’s resignation, barriers to asylum seekers Kim Hjelmgaard USA TODAY

DRESDEN, GERMANY

Anti-immigration and anti-Muslim groups from across Europe demonstrated Saturday as migrants fleeing a renewed offensive by the Syrian government surged by the tens of thousands along Turkey’s border.

In Dresden, a stronghold of Germany’s Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamization of the Occident, or PEGIDA, thousands took part in a rally to express disapproval with Chancellor Angela Merkel’s policy toward migrants.

More than a million asylum seekers are now living in Europe’s wealthiest country, with more arriving each day.

Many in the crowd chanted “Merkel must go” and held signs comparing the German leader to a dictator. The chancellor’s popularity ratings have tumbled amid the crisis.

Siegfried Däbritz, one of PEGIDA’s leaders, said in an address that he doubted those granted asylum in Germany could integrate into the nation’s culture. He called for “resistance to immigration from the Islamic area” and said politicians and the “lying press” were to blame for Germany’s current “misery.”

The independent group Durchgezaehlt, which monitors attendance figures, said 8,000 people took part in the Dresden rally, according to the Associated Kamilia Lahrichi

Martin Dulig, the premier of Saxony — the eastern German state where Dresden is located — called for tolerance. “We want to show that Dresden does not believe in incitement. We are here because we want to show Dresden’s true heart,” he said.

Far-right protests were held in more than a dozen other nations in Europe on Saturday including the Czech Republic, France, Poland and the Netherlands. The marches and demonstrations

were part of a coordinated attempt by PEGIDA and like-minded groups to hold a so-called European Action Day. Riot police clashed with protesters at several of the rallies including in Calais, France, where police used tear gas to disperse crowds. Ten people were arrested.

The synchronized demonstrations came as the number of Syrian refugees assembled on Turkey’s border jumped to 35,000, according to Reuters.

The latest exodus is a result of a renewed offensive by Syria’s

positive intelligent aliens from another galaxy are living among them.

So positive, the town of 16,000 holds an annual Alien Festival that draws tens of thousands of visitors — from Earth, that is.

This year’s event kicked off Friday and runs through Valentine’s Day, for those in love with extraterrestrials.

There is an alien costume contest, a parade of Star Wars characters, a laser contest and special effects simulating aliens’ arrival on Earth. There are workshops with regional speakers renowned in the UFO community on how aliens contact humankind, among other topics.

“I came all the way from France to see the intraterrestrial city of ERKS, which is buried under this town,” said Monique Rasset, a yoga professor who has traveled to Capilla del Monte for 10 years.

According to local lore, ERKS is an underground city built by “intelligent lights” from another dimension who can communicate with humans.

Some tourists who make their way to the town, about 500 miles northwest of the Argentine capital of Buenos Aires, come mainly for the spectacle, with or without real aliens.

“I loved the Star Wars show and costumes last year so we decided to come back to the festival this year,” said Gabriela Amorosi, who traveled 18 hours by bus from her southern Argentine city of Bahia Blanca.

To prepare for the festival, tourists and residents get into the mystical mood by meditating in parks, Zen temples and “silence zones” that have energy fields. Tourism agencies organize sky-gazing events to watch for mysterious lights.

Many of the estimated 30,000 visitors — mostly from Latin America, the USA, France, Germany and Japan — will scale the 6,500-foot-high Uritorco hill on the outskirts of town in search of energy fields and doors to other dimensions.

“The historical reason why people are curious about UFOs in Capilla del Monte dates back to 1986, when a giant circular footprint of burned grass was found at the slope of (the Uritorco) hill,” explained Alejandro Barbosa, the town’s tourism secretary.

Local researchers collected testimonies from residents who claimed they had seen a spaceship with fluorescent lights that left a long trail.

The town’s resident alien scholar said she believes UFOs are lured here. “UFO existence may be the result of electromagnetic conditions and telluric forces at the epicenter of the (Uritorco) hill,” said Luz Mary López Espitia, a Colombian who is di-

Turkey refuses to open the border. It already hosts over 2.5 million Syrian refugees.

Back in Dresden, about 2,000 anti-PEGIDA political activists gathered less than a mile away on the other side of the city’s Elbe River. A massive police presence with dozens of security officers and vehicles including large tanklike machines equipped with water cannons were deployed to make sure the opposing rallies remained peaceful.

Stephan Baumann, 43, a senior member of the PEGIDA organization, said the group is consistently mischaracterized by left-wing activists, the German media and the country’s government.

“On television, we are always the bad guys, racists, Nazis. For me, I don’t care. I really don’t. I know it’s not true,” he said. “It’s wrong to say that (PEGIDA) is worried about immigration. We don’t want it, that’s all. We want to keep our Germany as it is. Our culture. Our people. Our views.”

Lisa Pflugradt, 25, a research student at the Technical University of Dresden, said she did not agree with the substance of PEGIDA’s ideas about immigration and keeping Islam out of Europe.

But she does feel the group is misrepresented because “most Germans don’t come to PEGIDA rallies and so have no idea what goes on there.”

common,” said Mario Tizon, a photographer. “I have seen UFOs in the countryside since I am a child.”

Tizon showed USA TODAY photos he took on Jan. 31, 2014, of supposed UFOs in the neighboring town of Cuchi Corral.

The Argentine government took the alleged sightings seriously enough to fund a Commission for the Study of Aerospace Phenomena under the air force in 2011. It conducted a scientific investigation of reported UFO sightings, collecting information from engineers, IT experts, radar technicians and meteorologists.

In December, it released a 12page report that analyzed 10 UFO sightings from November 2014 through November 2015. Its conclusion: The alleged UFOs could be stars, satellites or planets.

That finding has not shaken alien researcher Espitia’s conviction that other-worldly life is among us. “We are just observers. … They know much more about us,” she said.

Some believers resent the festival for making light of a serious subject. “The festival is a joke that contributes to denigrating the UFO topic,” complained Fabio Zerpa, a Uruguayan UFO researcher and parapsychologist based in Argentina. Still, “the festival is a great cultural mistake.”

Opponents of the Alien Festival say it contributes to denigrating the topic with alien dolls and costumes.

SUPER BOWL ADS TO PUT DIVERSITY ON DISPLAY Embrace morphing audience and reject objectification of women

Charisse Jones USA TODAY

S

uper Bowl ads are practically an event unto themselves. And when they unfold on the screen Sunday, viewers will see a display of America and the world in much of its diversity.

While Hollywood faces a backlash over an all-white slate of acting nominees for this year’s Oscars, several of the TV spots airing during the big game will feature actors, athletes and characters representing a range of ethnicities, generations and sexual orientations, from a Pokémon ad that shows children around the world empowering each other to succeed, to a spot for the grooming product line Axe, whose images of masculinity include a man dancing in heels.

“Super Bowl advertisers get that as the face of America changes, so must marketing tactics,’’ Karen Sinisi, director of sales for multicultural marketing provider Ethnic Technologies, said in an email.

Though some ad watchers say

that Super Bowl advertising has had diverse casting for several years, others claim that a noticeable change occurred in 2015, when images were far less stereotypical and more people of color took center stage.

A 2015 study of Super Bowl ads by the University of Central Florida’s Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport found that African Americans had a leading or coleading role in 19 of 61 commercials aired last year, compared with just two such roles in 2011.

The objectification of women in ads also significantly decreased.

Diversity “has definitely increased,” says Richard Lapchick, the study’s main author. “In the early days, it was also a fact those images that were presented were sometimes stereotypical, and that has definitely improved significantly.”

Tiffany Warren, founder of ADCOLOR, a group that celebrates people of color working in advertising, media and marketing, says that the advertising industry has been working toward making creative teams, and others involved in ad making, more inclusive.

“The more you ... increase op-

“If ... portrayals (of people of color) aren’t three-dimensional, and relevant, you still have a problem.”

Gil Robertson, African American Film Critics Association

portunities for diverse minds to provide feedback on what will work,” she says, “you’ll see opportunities to increase the relationship you have with the public.’’

It was a glaring lack of diversity among actors vying for this year’s Oscars that sparked the latest debate about parity in Hollywood.

But beyond accolades, there remains a need for people of color to have more substantial roles in front of and behind the camera, says Gil Robertson, co-founder and president of the African American Film Critics Association.

“If those characters aren’t

meaningful, if those portrayals aren’t three-dimensional, and relevant, you still have a problem,” Robertson says.

But not all aspects of diversity are getting their moment in the Super Bowl spotlight. Though SunTrust has a big game ad this year featuring a man in a wheelchair, “major brands are only beginning to recognize the purchasing power of the disability market of $220 billion,” Tari Hartman Squire, CEO of EIN SOF Communications, a strategic marketing and employment consultation firm specializing in disability-inclusive diversity, said in an email. When it comes to media, “TV shows are farther ahead on disability-inclusive diversity than ads or movies.’’

There is also a need for more inclusiveness in the top creative ranks of the advertising industry.

According to the University of Central Florida report, of the 42 Super Bowl commercials for which data were available last year, only 7% featured exclusively a person of color as the head creative director. And 81% of the creative directors were men.

Low oil cost: As much pain as gain Cheap gas hurting growth, investment in energy, experts say Paul Davidson USA TODAY

Low oil prices have not been the economic boon analysts expected, with sharp investment cutbacks by crude producers offsetting the positive impact of cheap gasoline on consumer spending.

Economists have varying views of the net effects of the oil crash in the U.S., but several research firms consider it a wash or slight negative, while others say it’s been an unmitigated drag on growth.

The gloom pervading the industry has intensified in recent weeks with each drip of bad news about major oil companies’ capital spending cuts, layoffs and financial losses spreading to the broader stock market and global economy. Oil companies have cut 232,000 jobs the past 14 months, according to oil producer Continental Resources, which tracks layoffs. Such losses hurt consumer spending.

SPENCER PLATT, GETTY IMAGES

Drivers’ savings at pump led to oil companies cutting 232,000 jobs in 14 months. Such losses hurt consumer spending.

The U.S. benchmark oil price has plunged about 70% since summer 2014. Since millions of consumers are typically more likely than corporations to spend their extra cash, economists reckoned oil’s skid would be an overall bonanza for the economy.

But the size and duration of the price decline has hurt oil producers more than it has helped consumers, analysts say.

The number of oil rigs in the U.S. fell about 50% last year, result-

ing in a $70 billion drop in investment, says economist Paul Ashworth of Capital Economics.

That, he says, trimmed U.S. economic growth by nearly half a percentage point to 2.4%.

A less tangible toll has come from tumbling energy company profits that helped drag down the market and spread fears of bankruptcies, says economist Joe LaVorgna of Deutsche Bank.

He estimates there’s a 40% chance of a recession this year,

largely because of oil’s downturn.

Consumers, meanwhile, have saved an additional $120 billion since mid-2014, suggesting they’ve socked away virtually all of the $100 billion windfall they reaped at the pump last year, Ashworth says.

“They haven’t spent a damn dime of it,” he says.

Ashworth says many Americans likely didn’t believe the low prices would last. Jesse Edgerton of JPMorgan Chase partly attributes the disappointing outlays to consumers’ lingering post recession caution.

But both he and economist Mark Zandi of Moody’s Analytics disagree that Americans banked nearly all their pump savings.

Zandi notes the personal savings rate held steady last year at about 5.4% while incomes grew, indicating Americans saved more from fatter paychecks while spending much of their gas windfall. Consumer spending grew a healthy 3.1% in 2015.

The researchers conclude stronger consumption due to cheap oil added 0.2% to 0.6% to economic growth last year. But the decline in investment subtracted half a percentage point.

moving targets in this situation, Horatio. You just don’t know how many arrows you have in your quiver. Whether you’re on a commission income, variable income or you’re a freelancer, not knowing the exact amount of your compensation can create some serious havoc, if you let it.

There’s a really easy fix that’s slightly difficult to install. Once it’s installed, you’re good to go.

Patients suffering from painful, sometimes life-threatening diseases often find that the struggles hardly end when the treatments are over.

Co-payments and other outof-pocket costs for drugs, on top of the bills for the uncovered portion of doctor and hospital visits, can linger for months or years, especially for chronic conditions such as heart disease and cancer.

Drug prices are increasing far faster than any other aspect of health care. They went up 10% in 2015 and 14% in 2014, when they were a top cause of the 5.3% increase in overall health care costs, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. High-cost specialty drugs, particularly those for cancer and hepatitis C, are the primary culprits, but even generic drug prices are way up.

MOTIVATED TO HELP

Pat Mastors started the Patient Voice Institute after her then-26year-old daughter came down with Guillain-Barré Syndrome in 2013. Jess Mastors needed five infusions that cost $10,000 each, and the total hospital bill came to about $100,000, nearly all of which was covered by insurance.

But, Mastors asks, “What if we were uninsured?”

Struggles over the cost of drugs lead many into debt, bankruptcy or even ill-advised strategies such as splitting pills or skipping days to make medications last longer.

Drugmakers’ patient-assistance programs are the place to start if you need help paying for your prescriptions. Leigh Purvis, director of health services research at AARP’s Public Policy Institute, calls them a “necessary evil” in the face of continued price increases. These programs provide co-payment assistance or free or discounted medicines to people who can’t afford them.

Purvis suggests people try the Centers for Medicare and Medi-

YOUR 30-DAY NUMBER

But first, you need to understand the one number that is holding you back: your 30-day expense number. How much do you spend every 30 days? If you don’t know the answer within two seconds, we’ve isolated one of your primary issues.

Variable-income folks often struggle because they don’t know their 30-day expense number. They tend to think in more of a binary sense. They either have the money for whatever they want to buy in the moment, or they don’t.

Horatio, there’s a little trick to making this work. It may seem like semantics, but you need to change how you view the money that flows into your household.

What you used to think of as income now needs to be called revenue. It’s the revenue that will

One of my biggest fears for variable-income earners is that they may make major spending decisions during good months. Committing to a house or rent payment, financing a car or even planning a vacation during good times can result in a bigger struggle when the dry periods arrive. If you find yourself in this situation, then you must take immediate action to make ends meet.

I used to work with many Realtors who struggled to transition their seasonal and sporadic income into a sustainable financial life. They would yo-yo from barely surviving to deceptively thriving. They were forced into resourcefulness the longer they went without pay and then felt sweet release when they received their next five-figure check at a closing. No matter how many times they would yo-yo back and forth between good and bad, they couldn’t stabilize their income.

The situation called for a salary.

And a salary is exactly what they got. You need a salary, too.

fund the operations for Horatio Enterprises. If you continue to view your revenue as income, you will spend through it with very little regard for the impending cash-flow shortages just months away. Your revenue will be used to create your income, but the two terms are definitely not one and the same. Your salary will be based on a few very simple factors, and it will be paid to you via your commission pool.

It’s tough to turn a sporadic income into a sustainable financial life.

What you need is a way to pay yourself a salary.

Begin by figuring out exactly how much it costs you to live for a 30-day period. Stick to the necessities and keep the discretionary expenditures to a reasonable minimum. Once you’ve come to a total, subtract any fixed income that comes into your household on a monthly basis. This fixed income could be a significant other’s income, or maybe you have a small part-time job with a consistent income. For instance, if you spend $3,500 every 30 days (all bills included), and your significant other’s income is $1,200 per month, then you are left with $2,300 of obligations your income must fund. That’s your salary now.

When you get paid, deposit the entire payment into your commission pool. That pool can do only one thing — pay you $2,300 every month. You can pay yourself $1,150 twice a month, if you want. It really doesn’t matter. After about three months of this manufactured stability, your financial life will feel calmer.

You also need to separate your commission pool from your savings. They are not the same thing.

If you use them interchangeably, you will compromise your ability to pay yourself a salary. When your commission pool swells, you either pay yourself a modest bonus or you may be able to give yourself a monthly raise.

You can learn more about the entire process of creating a salary for yourself in my book The Commissioner.

If drug prices have you down, there’s help out there You just have to know where to look

stop working, so it’s good to be aware of assistance just in case.

Sagall suggests thinking about your entire family’s medication needs, because if there’s no assistance program for your expensive drug, there could be one for another family member’s drugs, which could free up money for your medicine.

NeedyMeds is one of many programs that offers free drugdiscount cards offering up to 80% off the cash price of prescription drugs. RefillWise has a savings card that also tracks prescriptions, offers “points” that can be redeemed for cash rewards and reminder emails when it’s time to call in your next prescription.

Holly Woodcock of Idaho didn’t try to find help to pay for the myriad drugs she had to take for colon cancer in 2010. Without help, Woodcock says, she drained her savings and wound up $35,000 in debt from her family’s portion of costs for all of the procedures and drugs.

TIPS TO CUT YOUR COSTS uALWAYS TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR AND/OR PHARMACIST about your benefits and whether there are less-expensive options, including generic drugs, that would work as well for you. uAPPEAL TO YOUR INSURER FOR A “CLINICAL EXCEPTION” if your insurer denies coverage for a more expensive drug that you’ve been using successfully, suggests Nadina Rosier, who is a pharmacy benefits leader at consulting firm Willis Towers Watson. uCHECK IF LOCAL STORES HAVE SAVINGS or discount programs. uSHOP AROUND.

Fort Worth, Texas — Kansas University snapped its three-game road losing streak with a little help from the Jayhawks’ own fans on Saturday at Schollmaier Arena, TCU’s home arena in name only.

About half of the announced crowd (6,516) in the 8,500-seat facility wore KU colors during a 75-56 KU victory that temporarily, at least, made the Jayhawks forget road setbacks at West Virginia, Oklahoma State and Iowa State.

“It’s always a boost having fans there, cheering us on. It was great,” noted senior forward Perry Ellis, who had 23 points off 11-of-14 shooting with 10 rebounds, three assists and two blocks in 34 minutes.

The Jayhawks, who were serenaded by the Rock Chalk chant in the closing minute, pleased the throng of Crimson-and-Blue-clad fans early, rolling to a 3820 halftime lead, thanks in large part to a 25-10 margin on the boards.

Manning-Newton just one golden storyline

By Barry Wilner AP Pro Football Writer

Santa Clara, Calif.

— Peyton Manning’s last game? Cam Newton’s finest moment?

For all the golden tinge the NFL is placing on Super Bowl 50, this one just might come down to how the two star quarterbacks deal with

the dynamic defenses bent on humbling them.

There can’t be a better storyline than a five-time MVP likely to take his final snaps with a championship on the line. Except, perhaps, the league’s rising star carrying his franchise to its first NFL title in the face of detractors.

Throw in those defenses:

Denver’s ranks first overall in many statistics and certainly in intimidation, with a pass rush capable of neutralizing any air game; Carolina’s makes game-changing plays to the tune of a leaguehigh 39 takeaways and a plus-20 turnover margin.

Add in a pair of coaches at the peak of their NFL careers, a relatively new sta-

dium with nearly all imaginable technology, and a half-century of America’s biggest game and the intrigue meter hits the stratosphere.

“If you have any appreciation for the game, and certainly you have watched Super Bowls, played in the Super Bowls, have a sibling that has played in the Super

Bowls,” Manning says, ,”it does make it maybe even BIG GAME more special.”

NFL

San Francisco — Brett Favre and the late Ken Stabler, a pair of kindred-spirit QBs who each won a Super Bowl, were elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday.

Also voted in for the class of 2016 a day before the Super Bowl were modern-day players Kevin Greene, Marvin Harrison and Orlando Pace, coach Tony Dungy, contributor Ed DeBartolo Jr., and senior selection Dick Stanfel.

The freewheeling Favre, as expected, was a first-ballot entry, a reward for a long and distinguished career, mostly with the Green Bay Packers, that included three consecutive NFL MVP awards from 1995-97 and a championship in the 1997 Super Bowl.

Stabler, a left-hander nicknamed “Snake” for his ability to slither past defenders, goes into the Hall as a senior selection about six months after dying of colon cancer at age 69 — and just days after researchers said his brain showed widespread signs of chronic traumatic encephalopathy.

Stabler was the 1974 league MVP and helped the Oakland Raiders win the 1977 Super Bowl.

He was represented at Saturday’s announcement by two of his grandsons.

Favre played for 20 seasons, eventually retiring — after famously vacillating about whether to walk away from the game — as the NFL’s career leader with 6,300 completions, 10,169 attempts, 71,838 yards and 508 TDs. Five nominees were eliminated in the final vote: coach Don Coryell, running back Terrell Davis, offensive lineman Joe Jacoby, safety John Lynch, and quarterback Kurt Warner.

Earlier Saturday, the selection committee reduced the list of 15 modern-day finalists by cutting wide receiver Terrell Owens, running back Edgerrin James, safety Steve Atwater, guard Alan Faneca and kicker Morten Andersen.

Yoder added: “He’s just, like, insanely good.

Yoder won his first individual league titles in the 200 IM and 100 breast, and Eskilson won in the 100 fly and 100 back.

Garrett Bradley (106), Bennett King (113) and Gage Foster (160) were sixth, while Reese Todd (285) was sixth.

Baylor, led by Kalani Brown with 18 points, and Beatrice Mompremier with 14 points and 12 rebounds, handed the Jayhawks their 14th straight loss.

The Jayhawks shot just two free throws, making one, while Baylor made 15 of 23. Kansas was called for 23 fouls and Baylor just 10, but Schneider played down the freethrow discrepancy.

“Well, I think it was difficult for us to get the ball in the paint because of their size,” Schneider said. “I didn’t think the discrepancy was at all because of the officials.

They’re bigger and athletically superior to us at multiple positions, and I think that causes you to be in a position where you commit fouls.”

Kansas trailed 16-7 after one quarter and 36-18 at halftime.

Robertson had five rebounds to go with her 10 points.

“I know that our coaches will show me the film, and we’ll continue to grow and get better for the next game,” Robertson said.

The Jayhawks will face Kansas State at 7 p.m. Feb. 13 at Bramlage Coliseum.

But all of that speed came at a cost. He was drained physically, spending all of his energy trying to win and set a school record in the 200 free, despite the 500 free looming.

He looked depleted until he went back into the pool. Johnson recorded a season-best time in the 500 freestyle and took third place, holding off a swimmer from SM East with a strong finish.

“Painful is an understatement in this case,” Johnson said. “I jumped in and was like, ‘Oh my gosh, how am I going to do this?’”

Frogs struggling in big, bad Big 12

By Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Fort Worth, Texas — Facing some of the same challenges Kansas University does in football, TCU’s men’s basketball program continues to have a difficult time escaping the basement of the loaded Big 12.

Saturday’s 75-56 loss to Kansas University left the Horned Frogs with a 7-57 Big 12 record, including 1-9 in this, the school’s fourth season in the conference.

Climbing up a conference’s standings is easier to do if others are falling, and that hasn’t been the case in the Big 12.

“I’m definitely surprised,” Horned Frogs senior Brandon Parrish said. “It’s something I’m surprised about day in and day out, my record as a Horned Frog.”

Parrish spends more time thinking about things such as how to avoid losing the battle of the boards, 46-25, in the fashion the Horned Frogs did in Saturday’s game.

“It’s something I don’t think about for a long period of time, because I feel like it’s not healthy to do that,” Parrish said of TCU’s failure to climb up the standings. “We all want to see this thing go in the right direction,

more so than anything.

Whether that’s winning or losing, you have to go out there every night and fight. In a game like this, we didn’t really show much fight. It’s not a good look on us, and it’s not a good look for the program.”

TCU coach Trent Johnson summed up the game that never was close succinctly: “They were right, and we knew they would be. They were right, and we had no fight.”

KU’s 1-3 Big 12 road record heading into the 11 a.m. tipoff was not lost on the Horned Frogs.

“We came in pretty confident, playing an ear-

ly game, and they really hadn’t been playing real well on the road,” Parrish said. “We came in confident that we could get a ‘W’ if we executed our offense and defended well.”

Kansas defended extremely well and didn’t let the Horned Frogs find high-percentage shots.

Parrish said he thought the big crowd, almost half of which rooted for Kansas, led to poor play from the home team early.

“It was a big game, nice crowd,” Parrish said. “We played with too much emotion and couldn’t execute our offense.”

TCU has given Kansas coach Bill Self tough battles in the past, but not on this day. Asked for his take on TCU’s struggles, Self pointed to the season-ending September knee surgery to last season’s leading rebounder and best defender, Kenrich Williams.

“I’m not down here in the middle of it, so I don’t know,” Self said. “I know I’m a big Trent fan. And Kwanza (Johnson, TCU assistant) was on my staff at Tulsa, so I love Kwanza. The thing is, I’ve been through it down at Oral Roberts, when we lost 18 in a row. It’s hard to get over the hump, and

it seems like right when you’re getting close, something negative can happen. The injury they had before the season was a big loss. And when you’re fighting that uphill battle, there’s less margin for error.

“And you need some positive momentum things to happen. From the outside looking in, to me, the program’s in much better shape if you look at the beautiful facility you’ll be able to recruit to, and they’ve got good, young players. I think they’re continue to get better, but you’ve got to stay healthy, and they haven’t.”

on the glass. I thought we rebounded the ball a lot more like men tonight than prior. We’ve been really good or not good at all in those areas. That was better. Our energy was better. Devonté was great, Perry (great).

“Jamari was the key to the game from an energy standpoint,” Self added of Jamari Traylor, who had seven boards and six points in 15 minutes.

Cheick Diallo and Carlton Bragg Jr. also chipped in with five boards apiece.

The Jayhawks hit 53.6 percent of their first-half shots to TCU’s 25-percent mark. TCU missed six of seven threes the initial half, while KU bricked eight of 12. For the game, KU hit six of 22, TCU just five of 18.

Self, whose squad improved to 2-3 on the road in league games and 3-3 overall this season in enemy gyms (counting the San Diego State victory), looked as if he meant business on the sidelines early, sitting Wayne Selden Jr. after two minutes for taking and missing a deep three.

It turns out Self wasn’t miffed at Selden after all.

Selden sat himself.

“Wayne was sick. He’s got the flu or whatever.

We didn’t know if he could play. He asked to come out immediately, in 30 seconds. I’ve never had a player do that. He said, ‘Coach, get me out,’” Self said of the junior guard, who scored three points off 1-of-5 shooting

Self also pulled junior Brannen Greene about 30 seconds after he entered and committed a defensive miscue.

Was the defensive mistake the reason for the quick hook?

“Yes,” Self said. “Then he said he was too tight and couldn’t go back in.

That’s what he told one of the assistant coaches.

We talk about how we are going to guard certain actions. Obviously, he didn’t come close to guarding it right. He wasn’t the only one. I pulled Svi (Mykhailiuk) for doing the same thing, too.”

Mykhailiuk had three points off 1-of-5 shooting (1-for-3 from three) with one board in 24 minutes.

KU (19-4, 7-3) used a 28-7 run to stretch a 10-7 lead to 38-14 and put away the Horned Frogs (10-13, 1-9) early.

Ellis had nine points in the surge.

The Jayhawks will meet West Virginia at 6 p.m. Tuesday in Allen Fieldhouse.

area that doesn’t get discussed as often as most of his other winning traits.

Asked what made Ellis so tough, TCU’s Brandon Parrish said, “I think his strength more so than anything. He might not look like the strongest guy, but I think pound-for-pound he can bang with anybody. He’s relentless on the offensive glass. If he’s going to miss, he’s going to jump right back up and try to rebound it. And he’s real quick off his feet.”

Ellis made 11 of 14 shots and misfired on both of his three-point shots. He rebounded his only miss inside the arc.

“Ellis was really dominant in the paint,” Parrish said. “I feel like we almost couldn’t stop him.

He drove them today.”

TCU coach Trent Johnson talked about more than Ellis’ fancy footwork and soft shooting touch, as well.

“The upperclassmen in this league have really improved,” Johnson said. “Yeah, they’re all skilled, but they’re tough.

Tough kids. Perry Ellis is like a polished pro.

He’s been around a long, long time. (Oklahoma’s) Buddy Hield, he is who he is. (Baylor’s) Taurean Prince, he’s tough, tough, he’s skilled, but he’s mentally tough.”

Tough seniors, more than anything, make the Big 12 a tough league.

Ellis has been in the league forever, but has too wide an array of scoring methods for his longevity to make him easy to scout. He plays even better against Big 12 competition than in nonconference games. At the halfway point of Big 12 play, Ellis is averaging 19.4 and 7.2 points in conference games. If you watch closely, he’s even playing with a little more volume to his game.

In the victory against Kansas State, he took the ball behind his head and slammed it through the hoop. Late in Saturday’s blowout victory at TCU, he was going to lay it off the glass but at the last instant decided to flush it with his right hand.

Still, more than anything, it’s his substance, not his style, that makes another Big 12 title possible for the player who won four state titles playing for Wichita Heights.

Jayhawks answer board challenge

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Fort Worth, Tex— Dismayed after a “soft” rebounding effort Wednesday against Kansas State, Kansas University coach Bill Self singled out some of his veterans in practices leading up to Saturday’s TCU game.

“He challenged me to be more energetic. He said I wasn’t bringing it,” KU senior forward Jamari Traylor said.

The 6-foot-8 Chicago native responded with seven rebounds and six points while playing 15 minutes in the Jayhawks’ 75-56 win in Schollmaier Arena.

As a team, KU outrebounded TCU, 46-25 after being outboarded by KSU, 36-21.

“I tried to respond by being more active the last couple days at practice,” Traylor said.

He admitted Self knows how to bring out the best in him.

“I’ve been here five as

years. He knows how to push my buttons. I know how to push his, too,” Traylor added, laughing.

“I don’t know what he has to say, but he knows how to do it.”

Of Traylor, Self said: “I thought Jamari was our best big next to Perry (Ellis, 23 points, 10 boards).

Of Cheick Diallo and Carlton Bragg, who had five boards apiece, Self said: “I thought Carlton did good on the glass.

Check did some good things. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but Cheick is not the best passer. We’ve got to do a better job of keeping him close to the basket in certain situations.”

“This is the biggest mance on the road this week we’ve had. Of season.

KU improved to 2-3 in course, we’ve had some big weeks already,” Self road action in the league

and 3-3 in true road games overall — the Jayhawks won at San Diego State — by rolling to victory Saturday at TCU. “We talked about it, but certainly I don’t think our mindset has been awful,” Self said. “I think it’s pretty much the same as it’s always been going away from home. Individually, we can do some things to help better prepare us to be more ready. For the

most part, attitudes aren’t bad. Attitudes are good.

They try. You can’t say we weren’t ready when we went to Ames. We controlled the first half (leading 43-36 at half before losing 85-72). The second half was the problem. There were games we didn’t have the fire to start, primarily the Oklahoma State game (86-67 loss) and West Virginia game (74-63 loss). This was a big game if we want to stay close to top of the conference race. Our guys understood that.” l

Embiid documentary planned: A documentary on former KU center Joel Embiid’s life is being filmed by Mandalay Sports Media and OBB Pictures, deadline.com reports. No details have been released on when the documentary will be finished and where it will be aired. l

Recruiting: Trae Young, a 6-1 junior point guard from Norman (Okla.)

North High who is ranked No. 26 in the recruiting Class of 2017 by Rivals. com, attended the recent KU-Kentucky game with his dad, Rayford, a former standout at Texas Tech.

“Kansas has the best facilities in the country, and most people would agree,” Rayford Young told kentucky.rivals.com.

“Kentucky and Duke may be a close second, but you don’t want to go to a school because of their facilities. It’s about the basketball side of things.

The main thing is being comfortable on campus.

Will you be comfortable with the coaching staff and the way they play?

That’s the biggest thing.

Does it fit your style?”

Young is considering KU, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Kentucky, Duke, Stanford and others.

He’s hoping to be a package deal with Michael Porter, a 6-8 junior guard from Tolton Catholic in Columbia, Mo., who is ranked No. 3 nationally.

Who’s No. 1? OU, UNC both upset The Associated Press

Big 12 Men Kansas State 80, No. 1 Oklahoma 69 Manhattan — Wesley Iwundu scored 22 points, freshman reserve Dean Wade had 17, and Kansas State upset Oklahoma on Saturday night to shake up the Big 12 race once again.

D.J. Johnson added 12 points and Justin Edwards 11 for the Wildcats (14-9, 3-7), who snapped the Sooners’ four-game win streak by holding in check player of the year front-runner Buddy Hield.

The high-scoring guard had 23 points, but a big chunk came in the final minutes, when the Sooners (19-3, 7-3) were desperately trying to rally against a team that wouldn’t budge an inch.

It was Kansas State’s first victory against a No. 1 team since topping Kansas on Feb. 11, 2011, and just the fifth time the program has knocked off the nation’s best team.

Ryan Spangler had 14 points and 10 rebounds for the Sooners, while Isaiah Cousins added 16 points. But the senior guard also fouled out with about a minute left when he committed a personal foul — his fourth — and then kicked the ball into the stands for a technical.

It was that kind of game for Oklahoma.

Hield was just 7-of-16 from the floor and didn’t attempt a free throw until there was about seven minutes left. Jordan Woodard went 0-for-5 and failed to score, and forwards Dante Buford and Khadeem Lattin were plagued by foul trouble.

The start of the game hardly provided any indication of the result.

Kansas State started in about the worst shape possible, turning the ball over four times without getting up a shot. And when it finally did, it was an air ball from 18 feet.

Monte Morris and Matt Thomas each scored 16 points.

Jeffrey Carroll scored 18 points and added a team-high seven rebounds for Oklahoma State (11-12, 2-8), which lost for the fourth time in five games and eighth in 10.

Newton MVP, offensive POY San Francisco (ap) — Cam Newton is now a Super Bowl quarterback with an MVP award.

Offensive Player of the Year, too.

And his coach, Ron Rivera, owns a second NFL honor as well.

Newton, the Carolina Panthers star, won the Associated Press NFL Most Valuable Player and Offensive Player of the Year awards Saturday night.

Newton was not on hand at NFL Honors to accept the award; he is kind of busy preparing for a little game today against Denver. But just as he has for much of the week — for most of the season, really — Newton still was a dominant figure.

His father, mother and two brothers accepted the Offensive Player award. Newton made a speech via video after being announced as MVP. Newton was a landslide choice for MVP with 48 votes from a nationwide panel of 50 sports writers and broadcasters who regularly cover the NFL. Fellow QBs Tom Brady and Carson Palmer each received one vote.

Newton earned 18 votes for top offensive player.

Steelers receiver Antonio Brown was next with 10.

Rivera led the Panthers

of the most prolific and entertaining careers in sports history. He’s 39, has been plagued by injuries for much of the last five seasons, and, win or lose, has nothing left to prove.

It’s his fourth Super Bowl and, although he brings a 1-2 mark into this game, the losses don’t detract from his legacy.

“I think it is important to use all of your experience to your advantage,” Manning says. “I think you can always refer back to prior situations and two-minute drives, or a fourth-and-goal from the 2-yard line. The more experience you have, you can use that to help you.”

Newton doesn’t have that background yet. But he was the NFL’s most dominant — and sometimes most polarizing — player this season. No one has more fun playing the game than the 2010 Heisman Trophy winner, 2011 top overall draft pick and 2015 All-Pro quarterback who threw for 35 touchdowns and ran for 10.

If Manning represents the old guard, Newton — with his celebrations, dabbing and just plain coolness — is the future.

Some media compared Newton to Usain Bolt.

“Really?” Newton says, entertained by the comparison. “I got the opportunity to meet Usain last year. He was a cool guy.

He was like real cool, you know? Like internationally cool. I’m just locally cool, you know?”

Bolt owns a vault full of gold medals. Newton goes for the gold of Super Bowl 50.

Defenses: Don’t for a minute think the defenses can’t decide this matchup.

Carolina feasts on mistakes, and Denver was a minus-4 in turnover differential, including 31 giveaways. With two AllPros at linebacker in Luke Kuechly and Thomas Davis, and another one with cornerback Josh Norman, the Panthers have playmakers all over. Safety Kurt Coleman tied for the NFC lead with seven interceptions and added two in the playoffs. DT

Penn 67, Harvard 57 Team scores: SM East 375, Free State

Kawann Short is a disruptive force and had 11 sacks.

That unit struggled in the second half of the divisional-round win over Seattle, but it has a superior offense that scored 500 regular-season points to provide balance.

The most vivid memory of January football this year has to be Denver’s full-out assault on Tom Brady. While Newton is far more adept at avoiding the pressure than Brady is, he doesn’t have Brady’s surgical skills at dissecting a defense.

All-Pro linebacker Von Miller and studs such as LB DeMarcus Ware, CBs Chris Harris Jr., Aqib Talib and Bradley Roby — along with a deep line — will provide a formidable obstacle for Newton.

Coaches: Ron Rivera was tagged with the nickname “Riverboat Ron” years ago. He’s not truly a gambling coach, more someone who lets his players do what they do best. Sometimes that means taking chances, such as a reverse to Ted Ginn Jr. that resulted in a 22-yard TD in the NFC championship game.

Rivera has guided Carolina to three straight NFC South crowns, and couldn’t be more popular with his players because “he gives us the freedom to be us,” star tight end Greg Olsen says.

Gary Kubiak was an enlightened choice to take over the Broncos when team boss John Elway decided to release John Fox. He is Elway’s former backup and longtime buddy, and he has focused on building a balanced team that isn’t overly reliant on Manning.

Like Rivera, Kubiak’s players have his back.

Super Bowl L: All season, the NFL has celebrated 50 years of the Super Bowl, starting with changing its logo and thankfully dropping the Roman numeral. The 50yard line on every field was painted gold. Past “Super Bowl Heroes” were celebrated along with the games they participated in.

The big game has come back to Northern California for the first time in 31 years. Will it live up to the Super billing?

Stay tuned.

‘Prop’ bets super-popular rnegay said. “Luckily we ended up making it up.”

Such is the way with so-called “prop” bets, which tantalize bettors with promises of big payoffs. Unlike point spreads and money lines they can vary wildly from sports book to sports book, and sometimes bookies can take a bath.

At the Westgate there are nearly 400 such bets on the board this year, with wagers available on everything from if Manning will throw a touchdown or interception first to whether Panthers receiver Ted Ginn Jr. has a rushing attempt.

Jay Kornegay still finds it painful to talk about the last time the Denver Broncos were in the Super Bowl and the first snap of the game went over Peyton Manning’s head for a Seattle safety.

For some reason, a lot of bettors at the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook had put money on a 60-1 longshot that the first score of the games for the Seahawks would be that safety.

“It cost us a healthy six figures in the first six seconds of the game,” Ko-

Kornegay says at least half of what he expects could be a record-setting handle on the Super Bowl will be on the props.

Since casual fans like to bet on things to happen — the “yes” on many of the props — Kornegay and other bookies say a Super Bowl game without much action could be a big winner for them.

“In most cases the books need a boring Super Bowl, with limited scoring and limited crazy things like safeties and overtimes,” he said. “I’m not saying I’m rooting for a 10-7 game, but if that happens we will do well.”

more than seven feet in any direction) but it’s just a room — one room of several in a 3,000-square-foot office in Lawrence’s Warehouse Arts District bearing the name of a production company launched not even 12 years ago by a pair of scrappy young filmmakers fresh out of college.

SHELF LIFE

Page-turners to prepare you for the worst

L

et’s say that a sudden accident has left you stranded and alone on a faraway planet. (Does this scenario ring some bells?

If not, come by the library to check out a copy of this year’s Read Across Lawrence pick, Andy Weir’s “The Martian”).

How on (off?) Earth are you going to get out of this predicament?

Between you and me, if you find yourself in this situation, you’re going to wish you had spent some time at the library, because it’s knowledge and know-how that can give you a fighting chance. Want to study up in case you find yourself involved in an interplanetary mishap? I’ve got a few reading suggestions to get you started!

Being able to predict the

consequences of your actions will be crucial, so you’ll probably want to know something about chemistry and physics.

One fantastic place to start is with Randall Munroe’s “What If? Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions.” A former NASA roboticist, Munroe is perhaps best known for his webcomic, “xkcd.”

“What If?” is a compilation of answers to questions posed by “xkcd” readers.

Through the window of improbable situations — What would happen if you tried to fly a regular airplane over various entities in our solar system? Is it possible to build a jetpack using downward-firing machine guns?

What would happen if you built

a model of the periodic table using bricks made of each of the elements in the periodic table?

— Munroe offers insight into science concepts with wit and humor.

While you’re preparing yourself for survival in a high-stakes situation with very little room for error, it

couldn’t hurt to pick up Jordan Ellenberg’s “How Not to Be Wrong: The Power of Mathematical Thinking.” Were you the kid who asked your math teacher, “But when am I ever going to use this?” Ellenberg, a research mathematician (and novelist!), contends that “math is like an atomic-powered prosthesis that you attach to your common sense, vastly multiplying its reach and strength.”

When you’re readying yourself for an out-of-theordinary situation, it can be helpful to get some advice from someone who’s been there. Check out Chris Hadfield’s riveting “An Astronaut’s Guide to Life on Earth” for the lowdown on the nuts-and-

bolts of preparing for life in space.

Now, is it a coincidence that the Dewey decimal system ends up situating accounts of space explorers like Hadfield right next to books about small area gardening? I don’t think so.

For tips on preparing soil, propagating a wide range of herbs and vegetables, tying knots, making baskets and the basics of keeping warm and erecting shelter, you can’t go wrong with John Seymour’s charmingly illustrated “The Concise Guide to Self-Sufficiency.”

these,” Osbern says, showing off one of his prized lenses. “There are still a lot of things shot on digital that look like digital, but you take an old panamorphic lens and it gives a really great cinematic quality that you can’t get otherwise.”

New cameras come out every year, Osbern explains, but filmmakers, like the crew at Through a Glass, can still use lenses to “craft images in different ways.”

Osbern likens them to the film stock he and Blunk spent “hours on end” splicing together at Oldfather Studios during their college days.

In 2004, the year they graduated and founded their company, “everyone told us to do anything in film we had to go to New York or L.A.,” Osbern recalls.

But they stayed because they wanted to help build the film scene in Lawrence, which seems to grow “every year,” espe-

cially in recent years with the success of the Free State Festival and projects such as “Jayhawkers” and Blake Robbins’ “The Sublime and Beautiful” using the Lawrence area as filming locations.

Roughly a decade after Through a Glass’s launch, tax incentives have started to attract filmmakers to places far less expensive than Hollywood — places like Michigan and New Mexico and Louisiana.

And hopefully, right here in the Sunflower State.

“Ten years ago, we said we were making movies in Kansas, and people would be like, ‘That’s impossible,’” Osbern says. “And now, if we tell people we’re making movies in Kansas, they’re like, ‘Great. What does Kansas bring to the table?’”

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Son needs to move past old trauma on his own Dear Annie: Twenty five years ago, my youngest son, then 18, quit the job he had had for four years. They had promised him an assistant manager job and when he turned 18, but did not follow through.

After that, he would not look for a job or even help around the house.

His dad told him to leave, but I let him return. Still, my son continued to do nothing, so his father insisted he get out. His father had a terrible temper and we both knew it. We were afraid of him.

I knew my son was sleeping in his car, so whenever I saw him, I would give him food and blankets. I also left the back door unlocked so that when his father wasn’t home, he could get into the house, warm up and eat.

I know now that my

son was depressed, but I didn’t realize it at the time. Over the years, I kept track of his whereabouts, but he would never speak to me except in anger.

He married two years ago, and I tried to reconcile through his wife, but she saw only my son’s side. She did tell me that he was angry because I didn’t leave with him.

I admit I am a weak person with a long history of mental abuse

50 years on, Super Bowl going strong The Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos tangle in Super Bowl 50 (5:30 p.m., CBS).

So this year, the hoopla and ratings don’t just involve a Super Bowl but 50 years of Super Bowls. That’s either a remarkable achievement or a sign of cultural stagnation, depending on one’s point of view.

A half-century of big games with big ratings showing no signs of abating is clearly an indication of the NFL spectacle’s hold on the TV audience.

And it also points to the enduring ability of television to attract a huge audience.

Every year we hear that TV is dying, or changing utterly, or losing out to new media. And every year advertisers pay even higher fees to buy commercial time to sponsor a sporting event on network television, something people watch in “real” time, often in living rooms shared with other human beings.

At the same time, 50 years is a mighty long time. We are as far removed from Super Bowl I, held on January 15, 1967, as that game was from 1917. The pop culture of 1967 (“Cool Hand Luke,” “Bonnie & Clyde,” “Star Trek,” “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” and The Jimi Hendrix Experience) seemed very far removed from 1917, the year Eddie Cantor made his first Victrola recordings and when silent stars Buster Keaton and Fatty Arbuckle met for the very first time.

Technology has certainly exploded over the past 50 years, advancing in ways far beyond the imaginings of folks in the futuristic 1960s.

But while technology has changed — some say it’s “disrupted” life at a rapid pace — other aspects of popular culture seem as persistent as a stuck window. This “Super Sunday,” more than 100 million of us will tune into a football tradition.

Some for the 50th time.

But some traditions must end.

After XLIX (49) years of using Roman numerals, the NFL has “modernized” the name to Super Bowl 50.

So we’ve gone from Roman numerals to Arabic numerals.

I’m sure some see this as a conspiracy.

Tonight’s other highlights O Felines frolic on “Kitten Bowl III” (11 a.m., Hallmark).

O We’re already up to “Puppy Bowl XII” (2 p.m., Animal Planet)!

O “The Circus: Inside the Greatest Political Show on Earth” (7 p.m., Showtime, TV14) surveys the presidential campaign.

FLOWER SEEDS ARE DISPLAYED ON A TABLE AT 2014’S KAW VALLEY SEED FAIR at the Douglas County Fairgrounds. Gardeners can buy and trade seeds at the annual event, slated for 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday.

T

he Kaw Valley Seed Fair returns to Lawrence from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. this Saturday at the Douglas County Fairgrounds, Building 21, 2110 Harper St. This is the seventh year for the annual fair, and as always it is a free public event.

A seed exchange is the main focus of the event, and attendees are invited to bring seeds to trade if they have them. The exchange is really more of an informal sharing — those with seeds to share simply leave them on the appropriate tables, and those who are interested in planting some things this year pick seeds up.

For example, a person might drop off seeds of purple coneflower from their garden and pick up a few seeds for luffa gourds. The variety of seeds available is usually astounding

Jennifer Smith and may change through the day as new people arrive.

Attendees are encouraged to bring small envelopes, bags or other containers in which to place seeds they wish to take. For those who lack seeds to donate, envelope and bag donations are especially appreciated. A few extra envelopes and bags are generally available but dependent on donations.

Garden-related books and magazines are also exchanged

In addition to the seed exchange the fair includes educational demonstrations, children’s activities and vendors.

Education is a key focus this year, and the organizing committee is planning at least five planting and seed propagation demonstrations to be held throughout the day. The demonstrations are sponsored

by Cottin’s Hardware and Rental and seed dealer Seeds From Italy.

Children’s activities,

including crafts and a sensory seed bin, are provided by the Lawrence Community Nursery School.

Vendors will fill the rest of the building, which takes on a farmers market atmosphere.

Produce and farm products will be available from local farms. Nonprofit organizations with related missions will be on hand. Local garden centers will have seed-starting kits and related items available for sale. Vegetarian hot food will be available for purchase from The Purple Carrot Co-op.

According to the Kaw

Valley Seed Fair planning committee, the mission of the event is to provide an opportunity for people to trade, share, and learn about seed saving.

The planning committee is made up of private-citizen farmers, producers, scientists and educators.

The fair operates on minimal fees charged to vendors at the fair and on private donations. Funds raised are used to cover the cost of the venue and any expenses associated with organizing and promoting the event. The fair is held annually on the second Saturday in February.

Following the tub manufacturer’s recommendations is the best way to maintain any tub, but if the owner’s manual is not available, the following instructions will do the trick: Step 1: Before flushing the jet system, adjust the tub jets so there is no air induction.
