Lawrence city commissioners on Tuesday are poised to grant a 95 percent, 15-year tax rebate to The Eldridge Hotel for a planned expansion of the downtown landmark.

If approved, it will be the seventh time the city has used the Neighborhood Revitalization Act to issue a tax rebate in the past four years.

All seven projects have something in common: They’ve all been more expensive than commissioners envisioned when they created the program in 2011.

The city in late 2011 created a policy that allowed tax rebates to be issued through a state NRA law. The policy, however, includes language that says “as a standard practice” the city won’t issue rebates for an amount more than 50 percent of the taxes due, or for a time period longer than 10 years.

Policy and reality haven’t matched. All six of the approved projects, and also the pending Eldridge project, have exceeded the 50 percent level. Three of the projects, counting the Eldridge project, have exceeded the 10-year provision.

Six NRA tax rebates OK’d by the City Commission in past four years: l Eighth and Pennsylvania district, 95 percent for up to 21 years, or a maximum of about $325,000 in rebated tax, whichever comes first. l 1040 Vermont St., Treanor Architects building: a range of 20 percent to 95 percent over 10 years. l 810/812 Pennsylvania St., Cider Gallery project: 95 percent for 10 years. l 1106 Rhode Island St., residential and office project: 85 percent for 10 years. l 1106/1115 Indiana St., HERE Kansas mixed-use apartment project: 85 percent for 10 years. l 900 Delaware St., affordable housing project: 95 percent for 15 years.

State hospital upgrade takes shape Osawatomie (ap) — Kansas is spending millions of dollars to upgrade one of the state’s two psychiatric hospitals after the federal government threatened to yank Medicare and Medicaid funds that make up about a quarter of the facility’s $26 million annual budget.

Osawatomie State Hospital in eastern Kansas is replacing patient beds and mattresses, installing new bathroom fixtures, replacing suspended ceilings and making other changes to eliminate things that could harm residents, The Kansas City Star reported.

The work is in response to an inspection of the hospital in late January that raised concerns about patient safety and found that nursing staff did not adequately monitor the condition of a patient who eventually died from a bowel blockage.

Angela de Rocha, spokeswoman for the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services, said the state is facing about $3 million in costs to bring the hospital into compliance on top of what it’s already spent.

For instance, new plastic beds for patients have cost about $250,000 so far.

It’s the second time in recent months that the facility has been threatened with the loss of Medicare and Medicaid funds if it didn’t fix shortcomings.

An October inspection that was prompted by several complaints found that the hospital was housing 258 patients, putting it around 125 percent of its capacity. Inspectors found such poor medical care and miscommunication among doctors, nurses and pharmacists that patients’ health and safety were in immediate jeopardy, the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, said.

A further inspection to gauge the hospital’s progress will be conducted this month, said Jennifer King of the Kansas City regional CMS office.

On Friday, her office approved the hospital’s plans for removing the hazards to patients that inspectors had identified.

Black sorority at KU marks its centennial

Rallying for equal rights

By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

Chris Neal/AP Photo

A CROWD OF PEOPLE CHANTS AND SINGS AS PART OF SATURDAY AFTERNOON’S RALLY at the Kansas Statehouse against Gov. Sam Brownback’s rescinding of an executive order that offered protections on the basis of sexual orientation.

Kansas University’s first historically black sorority is celebrating a century on campus.

Past and present members of the Delta Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha say that while much has improved for black women at KU in 100 years, AKA sisterhood still provides strong support as they pursue academic and life goals.

The founding women and the sorority’s mission, “Service to All Mankind,” inspire member Camille Douglas, KU junior and chairwoman for the AKA centennial event.

Topeka — Hundreds of people chanted and held signs Saturday at the Kansas Statehouse in a Valentine’s Day protest against Republican Gov. Sam Brownback’s decision to end legal protections against discrimination for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered workers in state government.

Gay rights advocates promised to push for an expansion of a Kansas law barring discrimination in housing, public accommodations and private employment to protect LGBT residents. They also called for renewed political activism against Brownback, who narrowly won a second, four-year term in November, and his con-

servative GOP allies.

The rally was prompted by Brownback’s decision this week to rescind a predecessor’s executive order prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity in hiring or employment decisions in much of state government. The earlier order was issued in August 2007 by then-Gov. Kathleen Sebelius — a Democrat who later served

as President Barack Obama’s health secretary — and applied to agencies under the governor’s direct control.

Brownback acted less than three months after federal courts cleared the way for gay marriage in parts of the state, despite a ban on same-sex marriage in the Kansas Constitution. The U.S. Supreme

At the time KU’s chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha formed on Feb. 15, 1915, its founders not only sought sisterhood but also a place to live.

Though KU has always admitted black students, in the early years they could not live in campus residence halls, AKA members said.

Cynthia Lartigue Eubanks, who came to KU to study architecture and urban design and joined AKA in 1974, describes the friendship and support she found as a “security blanket” that helped her pursue her education even though, outside the sorority, it was not easy.

Following a period of race riots on campus,

Court is expected to decide this summer whether all states must allow samesex marriages.

The rally drew about 600 people, and speakers accused Brownback of moving the state backward and showing disdain for gays, lesbians, bisexuals and the transgendered.

One activist, Davis Hammett, a founder of the Equality House in Topeka, called Brownback’s move “a sick piece of policy.”

“I came to stand in solidarity with other gay and lesbian people in this state,” said Jake McMillian, a law student at the University of Kansas in Lawrence. “If you would have asked me a week ago if I ever thought in my wildest dreams that this would happen, I would have told you absolutely not.”

Delta Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha members and friends gathered in Lawrence this weekend for a Centennial Celebration that included a campus tour, visit to the archives, luncheon and gala dinner.

“If you’re going to do something like that, you need to engage the people’s elected representatives, which would be the Legislature,” Brownback spokeswoman Eileen Hawley said. “This is not something to be done unilaterally by executive fiat.”

Brownback issued his own, narrower executive order, reaffirming that the state wouldn’t discriminate in hiring and employment decisions based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion or gender.

“Kansas state employees still enjoy all of the same civil rights afforded to every other Kansan,” Hawley said.

Yet, state Rep. John Carmichael, a Wichita Democrat who’s pushing for an expansion of the state’s anti-discrimination law, said the rally also was a warning to “bigots” in office that in the next election, “We’ll be coming for you.”

A chilly wind blew

over the crowd, and the temperature dropped to near freezing. When Carmichael promised to read a speech of six or seven pages, someone in the audience interrupted him with, “It’s cold, man!”

“Oh, it’s not cold when you’re angry,” Carmichael shouted in response. “It’s not cold when the sun is shining bright, and it’s not cold when God is on your side.”

“It started back in 2007,” West said. “My wife and I moved up here after Hurricane Katrina, and it was the first year our kids didn’t have a Mardi Gras parade.

They wanted to dress up and there was nowhere to go.”

So West said he called up a few friends and musicians and they made their own parade. Each year the group dresses up and plays traditional Mardi Gras music, he said. They head up Massachusetts Street, entering businesses and picking up people along the way.

“Anybody can come; we’ll have our kids with us. Just dress freaky and make your own party,”

— Mike West, parade organizer

he said. “We march up Mass Street and go in and out of businesses just to cheer people up.

It’s a beautifully chaotic thing.”

West said every year between 100 and 300 people participate in the parade, which culminates in a Mardi Gras party at Free State Brewery. And although the weather has proved uncooperative in the past, West said the celebration will take place rain, snow or shine.

“Kansans are a tough breed. They find a good time on any day,” he said.

Denmark terror shooting leaves 1 dead Copenhagen, Denmark (ap) — Police conducted a wide-ranging police search Sunday for a gunman wanted for a fatal shooting at a free-speech debate. That attack was followed by a second shooting hours later near a synagogue, but authorities said they did not know whether the two shootings were related.

First on Saturday, a man was shot to death at a Copenhagen cultural center where a controversial artist who drew cartoons of the prophet Mohammed was taking part in a debate on free speech, police said.

Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt called the attack “an act of terrorism.”

“

We don’t know the motive. We know that (controversial cartoonist) Lars Vilks was present, and we consider it a possibility he was a target.”

— Inspector Jorgen Skov, detective The second shooting occurred early Sunday near a synagogue in the city center, police said. Three people were injured, including one who was shot in the head. The other two shooting victims were police officers who were hit in the arm and leg.

Roadblocks went up and public areas, including a train station, were cleared after the second shooting. Police said the gunman in that shooting escaped on foot.

Detective Inspector Jorgen Skov said police could not confirm that the first attack was an attempt to kill Swedish artist Lars Vilks, who was invited as one of the speakers at the debate, titled “Art, Blasphemy and Freedom of Speech.”

“We don’t know the motive,” he said. “We know that Lars Vilks was present, and we consider it a possibility he was a target.”

“Our thoughts of course

go to the Charlie Hebdo attack,” Skov said, referring to the attack last month in the Paris offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in which 12 people were killed.

Vilks’ depiction of the Muslim prophet Mohammed with the body of a dog sparked outrage in 2007, and he has had police protection after receiving death threats.

Thorning-Schmidt visited the scene of the attack, the Krudttoenden cafe and arts venue, and said the country faced “tough days where our unity will be tested,” but that Denmark will “stand together.”

All evidence points to “a political attack and thereby an act of terrorism,” she said.

But Clark said the administration can enact other changes on its own through regulations, including limiting employees’ ability to appeal a performance review, and changing the method used to select employees who are subject to layoff.

He also said the state intends to reopen negotiations this year on all of its union contracts in order to make policies within those contracts more consistent.

Clark said the changes are intended to bring more flexibility to personnel management and to reflect prevailing practices in the private sector.

But Proctor said the theory behind civil service protection in the public sector is that those jobs are funded with taxpayer money, and therefore hiring, firing and promotions should be based solely on merit and not on someone’s personal or political connec-

Mike Scribner, head of the Teamsters Local Union 696, which represents juvenile correctional officers in Topeka and Larned, had only a short, terse response to Clark’s announcement.

“Top-down changes are never a good thing,” he said.

“Employees should have had a voice.”

Proctor said the changes will make it harder for the state to attract and retain a quality workforce.

“They’re just making the state a worse place to work,” Proctor said.

“The state is already not an employer of choice for most young people.

Young people entering the workplace today are aware of the state’s budget situation, and tend to go somewhere they can get better working conditions and higher salaries.”

Good process Some additional study may produce a better strategy for how the Douglas County Jail serves inmates with mental illness.

I

t’s good to see Douglas County officials taking the time to fully examine the complex issues involved in a proposed jail expansion.

The need for additional jail space is driven by a couple of factors: a rising inmate population and the need of many of those inmates for improved mental health care. Rather than simply investing in more space to accommodate larger numbers, officials are looking at ways to invest in services that better address the needs of inmates with mental illness. If they are successful, they may be able to move some of those inmates into treatment programs that don’t include incarceration.

Officials plan to spend about six months educating themselves about this issue. They are touring treatment facilities, meeting with potential partner agencies and analyzing data to see what other people are doing and what seems to work.

At this point, local officials are focusing on the idea of diverting inmates with mental health issues into a different kind of judicial process. Those inmates might be placed into a crisis intervention center as they await trial. Some of those nonviolent inmates might be able to avoid prosecution by instead being sentenced to a treatment program that would be overseen by the intervention center. Hopefully, that treatment would lead to a successful transition back into the community.

Having a large number of inmates with some level of mental illness in the Douglas County Jail is nothing new.

Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center provides services to those inmates, which it estimates constitute about 35 percent of the jail population.

Douglas County officials have implemented a number of programs over the years to try to reduce those numbers, and it is to their credit that they are using the planning for a jail expansion as an opportunity to better address that need.

Rather than focus entirely on how many square feet of space they need, they are looking at how whatever amount of money they ask taxpayers to commit to this project can be used to provide a better service to the community. Dare we say it’s the kind of process that taxpayers might have liked to see the city go through before putting a new police headquarters building on the ballot?

County officials say that changing the way people with mental illness are handled may or may not change the space needs at the jail or reduce the cost to taxpayers. Nonetheless, county officials are doing the kind of homework that should give county taxpayers more confidence that their dollars will be used to fund a real improvement not just in facilities, but in services as well.

Americans should curb pessimism Washington — Barack Obama’s tone of mild exasperation when tutoring the public often makes his pronouncements grating even when they are sensible. As was his recent suggestion that Americans, misled by media, are exaggerating the threat of terrorism.

The world might currently seem unusually disorderly, but it can be so without being unusually dangerous. If we measure danger by the risk of violence, the world is unusually safe. For this and other reasons, Americans should curb their pessimism.

The Washington Post’s Anne Applebaum recently reminded readers that in three decades of terror the Irish Republican Army murdered more than 2,000. And Italy’s Red Brigades committed many attacks, killings and kidnappings. Both groups had foreign support.

The Islamic State is dangerous, but the West has faced, and surmounted, worse.

The Islamic State poses neither an existential threat nor even a serious threat to the social cohesion or functioning of any developed nation.

The Obama administration has not recently repeated its suggestion that Vladimir Putin should find an “offramp,” its evident assumption being that Putin inadvertently took a wrong turn, with tanks, into Ukraine. But with Russia, nuclear-armed and governed by an angry man, dismembering a European nation, surely the Islamic State ranks as a second-tier problem.

And a solvable one. An

George Will

“

The Islamic State is dangerous, but the West has faced, and surmounted, worse.”

Egyptian diplomat, expressing his nation’s disdain for other Arab nations, once dismissed them as “tribes with flags.” Some of them, including Jordan and Saudi Arabia, could go some way toward proving him wrong, by using their ample ground forces to sweep the Islamic State off the map of the Middle East.

Some Islamic State atrocities are comparable to the elaborately gruesome and protracted public executions (drawing and quartering, disembowelment, burning, beheadings, etc.) that were popular entertainments in the London of Shakespeare’s time. It is not delusional to anticipate a day when barbarism in the Middle East also will recede.

Worldwide, violence has been receding, unevenly but strikingly, for centuries.

Steven Pinker, a Harvard psychologist, ascribes the steep decline in violence to numerous factors — governments supplanting anarchy;

trade supplanting plunder; rejection of “cruel and unusual” punishments; the decline of interstate war since 1945; the collapse of communism; the pacifying effect of prosperity and its pursuit; cosmopolitanism, meaning the decline of hostile parochialisms due to literacy, travel, education, popular culture and mass media.

As interstate wars declined, Pinker says, civil wars ravaged many newly independent countries. But “civil wars tend to kill far fewer people than wars between states” and “since the peak of the Cold War in the 1970s and ’80s, organized conflicts of all kinds ... have declined throughout the world, and their death tolls have declined even more precipitously.”

Furthermore, there are reasons to reconsider the conventional, and generally correct, skepticism about the efficacy of economic and other sanctions as a response to state violence. They can be protracted futilities, as they have been against Cuba.

But the combination of Russia’s vaulting ambitions, its ramshackle economy and its dependence on external financial institutions makes sanctions a plausible tactic against the “ongoing Russian incursion” (Obama’s dainty description) in Ukraine by Putin’s kleptocracy. What is the alternative?

Another antidote to pessimism is recognition that some current disorders are nonviolent and, on balance, desirable. With the Greek

crisis, the euro, a foolish financial experiment, might be unraveling, and with it the European Union, an institutional architecture constructed with disregard for its social prerequisites, including a shared political culture and manageable economic disparities.

The 2016 presidential election might resemble the 1980 and 2004 elections in which foreign policy played a prominent role. If so, attention will be paid to Hillary Clinton’s role as secretary of state in the “humanitarian intervention” that reduced Libya to a failed state and an incubator of Islamic extremist groups. In the annals of American blunders, the Bay of Pigs may have been even more feckless, and the invasion of Iraq more costly, but we cannot yet calculate the cost of teaching Iran and others, by our role in the casual overthrow of Moammar Gaddafi, the peril of not having nuclear weapons.

Even so, a sense of proportion, which pessimism impedes, should prevent 2016 from being a competition in alarmism. Pessimism, Pinker says, may be a natural inclination: Imagine the good things that could happen to you today. Now imagine the bad things. Which list is longer? The world is a dangerous place, and can be made more so by America’s unforced errors, as in Libya.

Errors can flow from panic bred by unwarranted pessimism.

Alabama on the wrong side of history In June, it will be 52 years since George Wallace stood in the schoolhouse door.

It happened at the University of Alabama, where two African-American students, Vivian Malone and James Hood, were attempting to register. In facing down three federal officials demanding that he stand aside and honor a court order allowing the registration to proceed, the bantam governor of Alabama sought to make good on a noxious promise: “segregation now, segregation tomorrow and segregation forever.”

The upshot is that if you go to UA today and look out from where Wallace stood you will find yourself staring, not at George Wallace Plaza but, rather, at Malone-Hood Plaza, erected in honor of the two students, both of whom would go on to earn degrees from the school. Wallace was wrong morally, wrong constitutionally, wrong in the eyes of history. After half a century, his actions remain an indelible stain on the state’s honor.

You’d think Alabama would learn.

And to be fair, many Alabamans have. It’s just that Judge Roy Moore is not one of them.

Last week, apparently

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

“

Of course, ‘tradition’ is just a smokescreen word, like ‘values,’ ‘heritage,’ ‘faith’ and all the other pretty terminology opponents of marriage equality use to justify their increasingly untenable position.”

channeling his inner George Wallace, Moore, chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court, ordered the state’s probate judges not to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. This was in defiance of a federal court that had struck down as unconstitutional Alabama’s ban on gay unions. Some judges obeyed him, some obeyed the higher court.

The result was — apologies to the Temptations — a “ball of confusion” for same-sex

couples seeking to be wed.

As you may know, this isn’t the first time Moore has done something like this. In 2001, he surreptitiously installed a granite monument bearing the Ten Commandments in the rotunda of the state judicial building. “Roy’s Rock” was an unambiguous violation of the First Amendment, but Moore refused to obey a federal court order to remove it.

That Moore, as your humble correspondent once wrote, “isn’t fit to judge a dog show” should be manifestly plain to anyone with eyes. How he became not just a judge but the state’s chief judge, is a mystery on a par with Stonehenge.

That said, there is nothing new here. History reminds us that whenever social change comes too fast for the South’s taste — which is to say, whenever social change comes — there seems to invariably arise some demagogue to decry the “tyranny” of having to obey the law and follow court orders. The South always resists.

That’s what necessitated the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the Freedom Rides of 1961. It’s why federal troops had to march into Little Rock in 1957. For that matter, it’s why they had to march into Richmond in 1865. The dema-

gogues always use the same justification, always say that in denying it the right to discriminate as it sees fit, the federal government steps on the South’s “traditions.”

Beg pardon, but some traditions need stepping on.

Among them: the “tradition” of a region arrogantly arrogating unto itself the right to decide whether and when it will obey federal authority.

Of course, “tradition” is just a smokescreen word, like “values,” “heritage,” “faith” and all the other pretty terminology opponents of marriage equality use to justify their increasingly untenable position. In the raw and desperate extremism of Moore’s actions, the smoke is blown away and this much is clear: This was never about those pretty words. It is, and ever has been, only about a single ugly word: bigotry, about planting the force of law behind the belief that some of us are less than.

That’s why George Wallace stood in the schoolhouse door. Now Roy Moore stands in the courthouse door, likely to equal effect.

He should ask himself what the view will be when people stand there looking out, 52 years from now.

Football

The spring practice setting will be a good place to try out the technology and see how it goes, Grant said.

Assuming well, they’ll keep the mouthguards on the roster for fall.

About 20 to 25 colleges are ordering the Vector MouthGuards to use this spring, and KU will be one of the first shipments, said Jesse Harper, president and CEO of i1 Biometrics, the Kirkland, Wash.,-based company that developed and sells the product.

Harper said i1 Biometrics is also getting orders from high school and youth teams.

“Concussion management is an area football and other sports programs at all levels are trying to improve in an effort to elevate

‘Like a smartphone in your mouth’ To be clear, the mouthguards can’t diagnose concussions — that’s for training and medical staff to do.

What they can do is measure impact to a player’s head and send a digital alert to coaches and trainers when someone’s taken a hit hard enough to cause a concussion.

How does it work?

The mouthguards may be high-tech, but the good news is that football players don’t have to do anything they wouldn’t do

with any old mouthguard.

They pop it in and out of their mouth at will, Harper said, and the mouthguard does the rest — even sensing when to turn off and on.

“Think of it like a smartphone in your mouth,” he said. “But a player doesn’t have to worry about any of that. There’s no buttons, no blinky lights, nothing a player needs to do.”

The mouthguards’ “ESP Chip Technology” measures the brain’s linear and rotational accelerations from impacts, according to i1 Biometrics.

The mouthguards use an algorithm to measure, translate and wirelessly transfer data to a handheld mobile device used by trainers on the sidelines.

The data can show the magnitude, location and direction of the impact.

Trainers can use the information in real-time to, for example, pull out and physically evaluate a player who took an especially hard hit, Harper said.

After the game, they can take a broader look at data collected for individual athletes — some of whom are affected differently by impacts than others — and for the whole team. Digital 3-D images can show the location and intensity of impacts on individual players’ heads, possibly helping

Eldridge, which developers have said is essential to a 54-room expansion of the historic hotel at Seventh and Massachusetts streets.

Farmer said the Eldridge project is a good example of how the city’s policy may not be well-suited for the current environment. He said the Eldridge project is a critical piece of redevelopment of a long-vacant lot downtown, and also will help preserve a historically significant building by making the current Eldridge property more financially viable. He said such intangibles likely make the proj-

ect worthy of an abatement larger than the standard 50 percent called for in the policy.

He said intangibles also could be pointed to on several of the other tax rebate projects, which have included affordable housing projects in East Lawrence’s Warehouse Arts District, the rehabilitation of a historically significant home near the Douglas County Courthouse, and a large mixeduse apartment building near Kansas University’s Memorial Stadium.

“The intangible of affordable housing, the intangible

of mixed-use development, the intangible of downtown redevelopment — you have to factor those in to your decision making,” Farmer said.

“You have to figure out how important those are to the whole community.”

The city’s current policy, however, doesn’t provide any guidance on how those intangibles should be considered by the City Commission. It does give the commission the authority to deviate from the standard 50 percent rebate if members are convinced the project would not occur without the higher-than-

also collect data to reveal trends across an entire season for the whole team.

The technology is still relatively uncharted — the mouthguards, tested at high schools and one other college, are being sold commercially for the first time this spring, according to the manufacturer. They sell for $199 apiece. They’re made from a newly licensed durable material that’s supposed to last one year.

Murphy Grant, KU’s assistant athletics director for sports medicine, takes the concussion issue seriously and said he’s excited to have the university’s support for giving the mouthguards a try.

“It’s going to be a very huge undertaking, but for us the safety and healthcare of our student athletes is our number-one priority,” Grant said. “If we can be a part of making the game safer — and keeping the game around — then we want to.”

Grant said KU tentatively plans to order a mouthguard for every football player. He expects about 80 to participate in spring ball.

“I think if we have been exceeding our policy that often, then we probably do need to go back and look at the policy and see if it is still a good policy or whether it needs to change with the times,” City Commissioner Jeremy Farmer said.

Farmer was among the majority of commissioners who last Tuesday voiced support for the proposed incentive package for The

The ownership group of The Eldridge has presented figures that show the project has a very low rate of return, even with the financial incentives. The city, using numbers provided by the ownership group, has estimated that without incentives the $12.5 million expansion project would produce only a 0.02 percent rate of return over 15 years, likely making it unfeasible.

With incentives it still only produces a 1.1 percent rate of return, the city estimates.

Those numbers likely will be challenged Tuesday.

The Eldridge incentives package has become a hotbutton issue among many of the 14 candidates for seats on the City Commission. Stuart Boley, a retired IRS agent who is running for a seat, said he’s raised concerns with city officials about their analysis, and plans to do so at Tuesday’s meeting.

“They’re basing decisions on a flawed analysis,” Boley said.

Commissioners are scheduled to vote on the incentives package at their 5:45 p.m. meeting Tuesday at City Hall.

To all my friends and patients: After 70 years in dentistry, and 94 years on this planet, an unexpected responsibility appeared on the horizon.

The many cards and responses received upon my retirement were overwhelming.

Their sincerity and well wishes for me made me feel so grateful that I felt a “thank you” from me was a commitment that I had to do. Handwritten notes from me lasted through only fourteen. I decided that those of you who had not heard from me will have to accept my “thank you” by way of the Lawrence Journal-World.

Simply put, to all of You that wished me well, a heart-felt “Thank You!” The Douglas County Dental Society hosted a wine tasting celebration, Feb. 5th at the Eldridge Extended. My professional friends that evening added the final touch of exuberance that words cannot describe.

The apparent respect of my peers is Priceless.

Please, all of you realize that You, too have chosen such a wonderful place to live and raise your family here in Lawrence. I wish my dear wife was here to share this wonderful moment.

Thank you Lawrence for my 70 years here.

Lawrence city commissioners on Tuesday are poised to grant a 95 percent, 15-year tax rebate to The Eldridge Hotel for a planned expansion of the downtown landmark.

If approved, it will be the seventh time the city has used the Neighborhood Revitalization Act to issue a tax rebate in the past four years.

All seven projects have something in common: They’ve all been more expensive than commissioners envisioned when they created the program in 2011.

The city in late 2011 created a policy that allowed tax rebates to be issued through a state NRA law. The policy, however, includes language that says “as a standard practice” the city won’t issue rebates for an amount more than 50 percent of the taxes due, or for a time period longer than 10 years.

Policy and reality haven’t matched. All six of the approved projects, and also the pending Eldridge project, have exceeded the 50 percent level. Three of the projects, counting the Eldridge project, have exceeded the 10-year provision.

Six NRA tax rebates OK’d by the City Commission in past four years: l Eighth and Pennsylvania district, 95 percent for up to 21 years, or a maximum of about $325,000 in rebated tax, whichever comes first. l 1040 Vermont St., Treanor Architects building: a range of 20 percent to 95 percent over 10 years. l 810/812 Pennsylvania St., Cider Gallery project: 95 percent for 10 years. l 1106 Rhode Island St., residential and office project: 85 percent for 10 years. l 1106/1115 Indiana St., HERE Kansas mixed-use apartment project: 85 percent for 10 years. l 900 Delaware St., affordable housing project: 95 percent for 15 years.

Taking charge

Lucas comes up big late

By Gary Bedore

gbedore@ljworld.com

NBA veteran Nick Collison spent some time on Kansas Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campus last fall, playing pick-up games with members of the 2014-15 Jayhawk basketball team.

The 6-foot-10, 255-pound Oklahoma City Thunder forward and No. 2 scorer in KU history often found himself matched against 6-10, 240-pound KU sophomore Landen Lucas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really liked his game,â&#x20AC;?

Collison reflected after watching Portland, Oregon, native Lucas tie a career high with nine points â&#x20AC;&#x201D; seven during a crucial 12-minute second-half stretch â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and grab four rebounds while also guarding Rico Gathers in the Jayhawksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 74-64, come-frombehind victory over Baylor on Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought he was great today, and coach ran with him. Coach rode him late, let him play through some mistakes. I think heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be good going forward the rest of the way,â&#x20AC;? added Collison, who watched the game from his seat behind the KU bench, taking advantage of the NBA All-Star break to catch a game at his alma mater.

Bank on it. His batting average is close to a thousand. When he says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I could be wrong,â&#x20AC;? all bets are off.

“To be here now as an AllStar 14 years later with my brother and everyone here covering this moment, it’s quite incredible,” Gasol said. “It’s just overwhelming.”

It’s also historic.

Game at Madison Square Garden, it will mark the first time in league history that two brothers are All-Star starters.

In fact, 44 years have passed since Tom and Dick Van Arsdale were All-Star reserves in the 1970 and 1971 games, the only other time brothers were All-Stars.

Their parents, Agusti and Marisa, are here. So is youngest brother, Adria. That seems fitting because the Gasols long have been a package deal.

KU women tumble to Texas

By Benton Smith

basmith@ljworld.com

At 6-foot-3, Kansas University senior forward Chelsea Gardner usually has an advantage in the paint. However, not even the Jayhawks’ most accomplished post player could hold back Texas junior forward Imani McGee-Stafford on Saturday night in Allen Fieldhouse.

Long, athletic and a monster on the glass, the 6-foot-7 Longhorns backup helped UT collect 50 rebounds and control the paint in a 74-63 road victory.

UT outrebounded the Jayhawks by 23, and McGee-Stafford put up a double-double (12 points, 16 boards) in 23 minutes.

She had 10 points and 10 rebounds in the second half alone.

place in the team standings, its highest finish in the league since placing second in 2005. Olathe North won the league title with eight individual champions.

“He was phenomenal.

He earned every bit of it,” FSHS coach Mike Gillman said of Steele. “He’s one of those kids, truly, really special. Not only a good kid, but good academically and what I expect from a wrestler off of the mat.”

Free State junior Sid Miller and junior Cameron Shanks also earned trips to the league finals.

Miller won in the semifinals by ultimate tiebreaker before losing in a 9-2 decision at 132 pounds. Shanks lost, 5-0, in the championship at 113.

Junior Qualian Fowler (120 pounds), freshman Isaiah Jacobs (126) and sophomore Luke Winchester (285) each finished in third place at their respective weights.

Winchester clinched second place for the Firebirds, which edged Olathe Northwest by 1.5 points, with a victory by pin in the third-place match over an Olathe Northwest wrestler.

It was an opportunity for Winchester to redeem himself after losing the final match at the Blue Valley North Duals, which dropped the Firebirds from first to second at that tournament.

FSHS sophomore Nick Eddis (220), junior James Wensel (145) and sophomore Ben Hill (138) also placed within the top five of their weight classes.

“Things just fell into place,” Gillman said. “It’s been doing it all year for us. Just little things, like James Wensel winning in overtime. Sid Miller winning in overtime. Luke Winchester getting himself psyched up before, then pinning the guy to win second place for us.

That’s huge.”

Lawrence High finished ninth, but had two wrestlers earn trips to the league finals — Tucker Wilson at 160 pounds and Santino Gee at 170.

Wilson couldn’t compete in the championship because of a hamstring injury, and Gee was pinned

by Olathe North’s Isaac Dulgarian, last year’s Class 5A state champion at 160 pounds.

Before Saturday, Gee had wrestled once at 170 pounds.

He moved up from 160 after wrestling on the junior-varsity team for most of the season.

“I kind of think of it as the same as JV, like I can

and long,” KU coach Bonnie Henrickson said after her team’s third straight loss. “And then she altered some shots, obviously, blocked and altered a few. Somebody’s still gotta get in there and kind of keep it alive.”

Impacting the outcome on both ends of the floor, McGee-Stafford finished with four blocks and three steals. She also grabbed six of the 18 Texas offensive rebounds, which led to a 17-2 advantage for the Longhorns in second-chance points.

Kansas tracked down just six offensive boards all night, on 36 missed field goals.

Gardner, who finished with 16 points and seven rebounds, as well as five blocks, said the Jayhawks (13-13 overall, 4-9 Big 12) knew the scouting report for UT’s controller of the paint.

“Obviously, she’s long and lanky, and basically we have to box her out

and not let her get offensive and defensive rebounds,” Gardner said of where KU failed. “She had size over us.”

KU backup forward Asia Boyd, who matched Gardner for team-highs in points and rebounds, said it wasn’t as much that Texas (16-8, 5-8) wore Kansas down as the Jayhawks didn’t work hard enough on the glass.

“We just weren’t going like we were supposed to be,” the senior said.

The same could be said for KU’s offense in the first half, when the home team made just eight of 29 shot attempts (27.6 percent) but trailed just 29-28 at the break.

Kansas freshman guard Lauren Aldridge (eight first-half points), Boyd (seven), Gardner (seven) and senior guard Natalie Knight (six) were the only KU players to score, and they combined to shoot 8-for-24.

That changed quickly

in the second half, with sophomore Jada Brown scoring a layup on the first possession and freshman Chayla Cheadle hitting two free throws the next time down the floor.

Soon after, Cheadle scored a layup at the 17:48 mark to give KU a 36-33 lead. Next, sophomore Caelynn Manning-Allen scored on an up-and-under, pushing the Kansas lead to four, its largest of the game.

The activity of those first few minutes didn’t last, though, and Henrickson pointed to that letdown as one of the team’s issues down the stretch.

“I didn’t think we were consistently aggressive. When we attacked, I thought we got to the free-throw line (15-for-19 in the game, and 8-for-10 in the second half),” Henrickson said. “I thought we missed opportunities to throw it to Chelsea inside. I thought her foul

BOX SCORE

trouble didn’t help us in that stretch. But when she was in, we’ve gotta let go and let her have it.”

Gardner picked up her third foul with 17:36 left and subbed out with KU leading 36-34. She reentered at 11:36, with KU down 47-40. The senior forward made six of her 13 shots on a night KU connected on just 21 of 57 overall (36.8 percent) l

Knight reaches 1,000: With 1:05 to play, Knight (11 points) scored a layup to give the four-year starter 1,000 career points in a KU uniform.

“She’s done a lot of special things for us here,” Henrickson said. “It’s nice to see her be able to do it here, in front of her family and friends and get recognized. Not everybody gets a chance to do that.”

Kansas hits the road Tuesday for a rematch with TCU (14-10 overall, 6-7 Big 12).

LHS junior Alan Clothier, the top-ranked wrestler at 182 pounds in Class 6A, didn’t compete at the league tournament because he was sick.

KANSAS 74, BAYLOR 64

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Bears bemoan missed opportunities

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Trailing by two points with just over six minutes remaining in a game it led for the first 23 minutes, Baylor had back-to-back open three-point looks from Taurean Prince on the same possession.

But instead of being the guy who put Baylor back in front as the game neared crunch time, Prince misfired twice — one wide-open shot from the left corner and the other from the wing in front of the Baylor bench — and the 16th-ranked

Bears fell to No. 8 Kansas University, 74-64, Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse.

Although there were dozens of plays that helped shape that final score, those two misses were a focal point of the Bears’ postgame meeting with the media.

“Just execution, as always,” Baylor bruiser Rico Gathers said, asked to pinpoint what went wrong late. “Whenever you’re down two, if you’re gonna take that three-pointer, you better be able to hit it.”

Added Baylor guard Kenny Chery, who

scored 17 points but made just six of 15 shots: “We got the shots we wanted.

They just didn’t go in.”

That certainly was not the story in the game’s opening minutes. Baylor, which lost to KU, 56-55, in Waco, Texas, in early January, raced to leads of 18-6 and 25-12 while watching shot after shot go in during the first half. The Jayhawks trimmed Baylor’s lead to six by halftime, but the Bears (18-7 overall, 6-6 Big 12) went to the locker room feeling great about their position.

“We just wanted to come out being aggres-

sive,” Chery said. “We knew we were playing in a hostile environment, and we just wanted to stay together, and that’s what we did.”

Baylor coach Scott Drew, working with half a voice due to a recent illness — “Officials love it, players love it, because they can’t hear me,” Drew quipped — said KU’s toughness also played a role in the outcome. Gathers, who entered the game averaging 14 rebounds per game in Big 12 play, including six offensive, finished with eight total and grabbed

just two on the offensive glass.

“They’re a physical team,” Drew said of KU. “Coach (Bill) Self always does a good job coaching guys and making sure guys don’t get easies. You gotta beat them. And Rico definitely had to work for every offensive rebound tonight.”

Added Gathers: “They did a good job hitting the boards tonight. A lot of the shots that were taken weren’t really bouncing my way. They made it tough tonight, but that didn’t have anything to do with why we lost.”

KU’s offensive balance might have. Kelly Oubre Jr. and Perry Ellis led the Jayhawks with 18 points apiece, and Wayne Selden Jr. added 15, as Kansas (214, 10-2) shot 47 percent from the floor (including 6-of-18 from three-point range) and held a oncered-hot Baylor squad to 38 percent for the game, 8-of-23 from downtown.

“This is the Big 12,” Drew said. “You don’t lose opportunities, you gotta take ’em.... They’ve got three (shooters) who’ve been doing real well, so it’s tough to guard everybody.”

“They’ve got a lot of guys who can play. They just need the opportunity to go. He made the most of his opportunity,” Collison added of Lucas.

Lucas scored five points in a 10-0 run that turned a 49-45 deficit at 9:49 into a 55-49 lead at 8:07. First, he rebounded a Brannen Greene miss, scored and hit a foul shot to open that run at 9:25.

He swished two free throws after two makes

by Devonté Graham, giving KU a 52-49 lead at 8:46.

Lucas dished a perfect touch pass to Perry Ellis (18 points, six rebounds), then hit a 10-foot jumper to give the Jayhawks a 6157 lead at 4:01. Gathers then plowed into Lucas on a charging call, and Ellis scored again on the ensuing possession to give KU a six-point advantage.

“I hoped I’d get a chance to get out there and go against Rico. I did,” Lucas said of 6-8, 275-pound junior Gathers, who finished with 18 points and eight boards.

“You never know how the flow of things are going.

When I got in, he (coach Bill Self) rode with me for a while.”

Lucas has played double-digit minutes in the last four games after not playing at all in three of four contests.

“I mean, it’s definitely not the easiest thing.

It’s a learning process through it all,” Lucas said of waiting for minutes.

“There are a lot of ups and downs, but I’m just trying to stay positive. I talk to coach. He always makes sure we stay posi-

Self said Lucas, “was great. We went with him the second half. He does work hard. To me, Cliff (Alexander, four points, five boards) is ahead of him, but there are certain things within a game Landen does better than any big guy we have, because he understands the game better than any big guy we have. In a game like this, he’s so smart, so good against the (BU) zone. Landen has kept a good attitude. He knows his number will be called.”

Lucas went 5-of-5 from the line on a day KU hit 24 of 29 free throws. He has made 15 of 17 charities in Big 12 play after going 4-of-11 from the line in nonconference contests.

“I shortened it up.

There’s less thinking and stuff,” Lucas said of his free-throw form. “I got out there, took a couple dribbles, shot it. It’s the way I did it in high school.

I used to be a pretty good

free-throw shooter, so I just went back to my own ways.”

He grinned when asked if he was extra fired up playing before 11-year NBA player Collison as well as Joel Embiid of the Sixers and Ben McLemore of the Kings, who also attended.

“It’s great to have them around. I think we try to play hard all the time, but it’s great to put on a show for them. We know what they represent is the history of this program,” Lucas said.

Kelly Oubre Jr. scored eight of his 18 points the second half and Ellis 10 of his 18 the final 20 minutes. Wayne Selden Jr. finished with 15 points, 12 the second half.

The Jayhawks trailed by as many as 13 points the first half (23-10 at 11:57) and needed a 24-10 run to turn a 49-45 deficit into a 69-59 lead after intermission.

“Obviously, we didn’t come ready to play, and they came really ready to play,” Self said after his squad improved to 21-4 overall and 10-2 in

We did a much better job on the glass,” Self said of KU’s 17-12 advantage the second half after BU’s 2115 edge in the first. “We attacked their zone better the second half. They played their zone totally different this time (than in KU’s 56-55 win on Jan. 7 in Waco). They took away the middle, kept a guard in there. They didn’t do that the first time.

NOTEBOOK

Ellis joins 1K club ————

Forward ‘blessed’; WVU next

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University junior forward Perry Ellis cashed a layup with 12:44 left in the first half, then banked in a jumper 38 seconds later to give him 1,001 points in his Kansas University basketball career.

“It feels great. I’m blessed to be in this position. It’s really an honor,” the 6-foot-8 Wichita native said Saturday after becoming the 56th player to top the 1,000-mark at KU. He finished with 18 points off 7-of-11 shooting (4-of-5 from the line) and grabbed six rebounds in KU’s 74-64 victory over Baylor in Allen Fieldhouse.

“I don’t mean this as a negative. I’ve coached him three years. He leaves me wanting more. He leaves me saying, ‘He got 18, but should have had 20. He got six rebounds, but should have had nine.’

I haven’t thought that of late. I think he’s playing closer to his ceiling now than he ever has,” KU coach Bill Self said.

“I’ve had high expectations for him from Day One,” Self added. “I’d say he’s gotten close to where we thought he could be.

He’s done great. He’s been consistent. I thought his rookie season it took him about two-thirds of the season to get comfortable and be aggressive. For the most part, I think he’s had a great run here. If he were to stay all four years, he would put himself in a situation he could be one of the 15 leading scorers in the history of the school, which would be pretty cool. I’m happy for him.” l

In the next six games leading into Saturday’s, he reached double figures in scoring once and averaged 4.1 rebounds.

Asked what mindset Oubre needs to embrace to become more consistent, Self referenced a conversation he had the previous day with former Utah Jazz coach Jerry

Sloan, now scouting for the organization. In his playing days as a shooting guard for tough Chicago Bulls teams, Sloan was a rugged defender and a good shooter. He earned NBA first-team all-defense honors four times.

“To me,” Self said, “with guys who are kind of stat-stuffer-type guys, be worried about making plays that give your team the best chance to have

KANSAS FORWARD PERRY ELLIS, RIGHT, LOOKS FOR A STEAL as he defends Baylor guard Lester Medford.

The Mountaineers are known for their active, full-court press.

“We spent a whole day working against West Virginia about 11 days ago.

We played Iowa State on Monday. Wednesday was basically an opportunity to go against seven or eight guys (against five) the entire practice. Thursday/Friday was Oklahoma State prep. Obviously I did a great job on that,” Self cracked, alluding to the Jayhawks’ loss to OSU. “We’ll have a 30-minute practice to work against West Virginia and play Monday. If we played West Virginia the second time with one day prep, we’d be better off. The first time will be short prep. Frank (Mason III), Devonté (Graham), Wayne (Selden), Kelly (Oubre Jr.) and Brannen (Greene) will need to be really good. If we make any adjustments, it will be tweaks as opposed to changes and hope our guys go in with the mindset to attack their pressure to score as opposed to just survive, because if you do that, then they’ll smell blood,” Self added. l

points in the Self era. He joined Wayne Simien (26, 2004-05), Thomas Robinson (27, 2011-12) and Marcus Morris (27, 2010-11). l

Praise: Cliff Alexander on Landen Lucas going 5-for-5 from the freethrow line.

“I’ve seen him make 25 free throws in a row before,” Alexander said.

Selden commented on Lucas’ nine-point, fourrebound performance: “Landen has been really solid all year, really efficient all year. He is a big body, can really rebound the ball, is a great passer out of the post. He does a lot of things well for us.” l

Stats, fact: KU (21-4) has won 21 games for 26 consecutive seasons. KU has won 10 league games for the 20th year in a row. ... KU leads the all-time series with BU, 23-4, including a 12-0 mark in Allen. ...

KU has won four in a row overall against BU. ... KU has won 21 straight games in Allen, the 11th-longest home win streak in school history. Kansas is 725-109 in the fieldhouse. l

good possessions. You know, defensive energy, scouting report, things like that. And when you worry about the right thing, I think you make shots.”

Self shared that Sloan told him that too many players have their minds twisted in the wrong direction, stuck in the wrong place.

Sloan, Self said, was, “saying that kids want to shoot good, and then they’ll play good, but kids should want to play good, and then it’s easier to make shots because they’re not focused on making shots.”

Sloan speaks from experience not just as a player, but as the coach of Hall-ofFame talents Karl Malone and John Stockton.

“I think that’s the one thing with Kelly that I want to see consistency with because he’s a good shooter, but that’s not who he is,” Self said. “He’s a junkyard dog. He can do a lot of things, and when he’s worried about those things it just seems so much more natural for him to jump up and make shots.”

A junkyard dog who too often doesn’t flash his fangs because he has enough ability to impress dog-show judges as well with flashes of beauty to his game. The thought of Oubre frothing at the mouth on a consistent basis, eager to make the opposition play ugly, panicky basketball sends the imagination running deep into the NCAA Tournament bracket.

But can Oubre, at such a young age, bring that mentality into every game, home and away?

Not many freshmen do.

So far, he has averaged 12.3 points, shot .529 overall and .489 from three at home, 5.5, .291 and .136 on the road.

No better time than Monday night in Morgantown, West Virginia, to embrace the Self/Sloan junkyard dog mentality against crazy defensive pressure and a wild crowd to see if that brings better road results and impresses Sloan and the rest of the talent evaluators in the building.

Birdman, Budapest and Boyhood: Predicting this year’s Oscar race

By Eric Melin

W

hat a weird awards season it’s been. Oscar voters have traditionally short memories, but the usual last-minute glut of Christmas Day Hollywood releases didn’t quite pan out this year.

“Unbroken,” “Big Eyes,” “Into the Woods” and “The Gambler” were all intended to be part of the Oscar conversation. Instead, the big three with all the buzz now — “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” “Boyhood” and “Birdman” — are indie films that were released back in March, July and October, respectively.

Meanwhile, the late-breaking $285 million box-office bonanza of Clint Eastwood’s “American Sniper” makes that polarizing movie a different kind of champion.

I’m hosting my annual Oscar Party in Kansas City at Screenland Crossroads to celebrate the big night at 6 p.m. next Sunday, Feb. 22, and Liberty Hall is having one at 7 p.m. as well. Both parties have ballot competitions to see who can pick the most winners correctly, with awesome movie-related prizes on the line.

Please see OSCARS, page 3C Contributed Photos

Clockwise from top right: “Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)”; “Still Alice”; “American Sniper”; “Boyhood”; “The Grand Budapest Hotel”; and “Whiplash.” Film critic Eric Melin says that the three films with the most Oscar buzz in the best picture race are indies that came out earlier this year.

Julianne Moore shines in ‘Still Alice’ W

ords are Alice Howland’s life, yet lately she hasn’t been able to string them together to form meaning the way she intends. She is a linguistics professor at Columbia University, but she draws a blank during one of her lectures. She’s also getting lost during her runs and having trouble finding her way home.

Alice, played by sure-fire best actress winner Julianne Moore with grace and humility, is 50 years old when she learns she has early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. Now playing at Liberty Hall, “Still Alice,” which is adapted from Lisa Genova’s novel by writer-directors Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland, is an affecting drama, blessed with two wonderful performances.

The movie casts a wider net up front, surveying the different reactions of Alice’s research biologist husband, John (Alec Baldwin), and their three grown children. John is supportive and hopeful, but with a big career opportunity on the horizon, he exercises what might be considered his own selfish desires more often than not.

The irony, of course, is that even if he were to devote all of his time to Alice’s care, she wouldn’t remember it anyway.

Baldwin never quite shakes his own person, but his struggle to remain sympathetic over his own bluster is wellsuited to the role.

Alice is devastated but tries to remain realistic about her prospects. Her thoughts turn toward her kids (Kristin Stewart, Kate Bosworth and Hunter Parrish) who, learning that it is hereditary, are all checked for signs of the disease themselves.

Moore eschews histrionics, and her expressive face illustrates beautifully a woman who is aware of the inevitable. She wants to stay connected to people for as long as possible, and then not put everyone through the heartache and trouble of having her not be present.

A young actress who skipped college against her mother’s wishes,

Julianne Moore in “Still Alice.”

SCENE STEALERS

ERIC MELIN

eric@scene-stealers.com Stewart’s character has the prickliest relationship with her mother, and “Still Alice” is at its best as that relationship develops in surprising fashion. In “Adventureland” and “The Runaways,” Stewart was able to stretch beyond the confines of the “Twilight” series, but here she shows reservoirs of understated emotion.

Glatzer’s diagnosis with ALS just weeks before the filmmaking couple began work on “Still Alice” gave the project some urgency. In the film’s plot, that urgency takes two forms: a grave decision Alice makes early on and a speech that she is scheduled to give at a conference.

The speech is pretty obvious — unneeded proof of her determination and a reinforcement of more irony. The former works better as a suspense device because the film is full of moments that show Alice’s decline into dementia, each one ratcheting up the stakes. It’s believable that a woman of her conviction could make such a decision and stick to it.

But Moore is the real reason “Still Alice” works. She’s so natural and free of vanity. She doesn’t telegraph the tragedy of her situation like so many made-forTV movies do. It’s a quiet performance and the uncertainty of how present Alice is undercuts everything, even the joyful moments.

season is cause for celebration is that the nominated short films are packaged together and make the rounds for theatrical exhibition. Two of those packages — the animated shorts and liveaction ones — are now showing at Liberty Hall.

The Animated Shorts

Showcase is a brisk 85 minutes, and not only contains the five Oscarnominated films but also three additional “commended” works that are essentially honorable mentions.

The animation styles on display are across the board, from stop-motion,

CGI, traditional handdrawn and mixed-media.

Disney’s “Feast” was screened before “Big Hero 6,” so it’s likely the only one viewers might have already seen, but it’s worth watching again for sure.

The program this year has a distinctly international flavor and packs an unexpected emotional punch.

The Live-Action Shorts Showcase clocks in at just under two hours, and one of the shorts contains some recognizable faces. Sally Hawkins stars as a British call center employee in “The Phone Call” with Jim Broadbent’s voice on the other end of the line.

The rest of the films tell stories from Tibet, Belfast, Switzerland, Israel and even Disneyland, and are of varying lengths. The abstract 15-minute “Butter Lamp” from Beijing-born, Parisbased filmmaker Hu Wei, is by far the most adventurous of the bunch.

Oscar-Nominated Short Film Showcases In Hollywood’s classic era, short films regularly accompanied features.

You could see anything from a Laurel and Hardy knee-slapper to a longform Duke Ellington music video. Unless you’re seeing a Disney/Pixar animated film, however, audiences today almost never have an opportunity to see what’s happening in the world of shorts.

Author bases new novel on Phelps family

By Joanna Hlavacek Twitter: @HlavacekJoanna

In a lot of ways, the youngest members of the Phelps family aren’t much different from other kids.

They attend Topeka public schools, where they might be allowed to dabble in activities like track or band.

They belong to a strict — but loving — family that regularly hosts birthday celebrations and pool parties in the sprawling backyard of their Topeka compound.

Like their peers, they go to church every Sunday. And they adored their “Gramps” Fred, who died last March at 84.

But the Phelps kids also love picketing the LGBT community and funerals of soldiers, bearing signs with hateful and offen-

From the outside looking in, it’s easy to think, “these kids are intimidated; they live in fear,” says Lawrence author Susan Kraus, who found this wasn’t the case during the two years she spent researching the infamous family and community for her most recent novel, “All God’s Children.”

During that time, Kraus

LAWRENCE AUTHOR SUSAN KRAUS met with members of the Phelps family while researching her novel “All God’s Children.” met with two of Fred Phelps’ sons — Jonathan Phelps and the estranged Nathan Phelps — and attended Sunday services at Westboro Baptist Church.

“Things happen later when they become ado-

lescents — some start to question and some don’t.

But as children, they think they’re in the best family in the world,” Kraus says.

“God has chosen them to spread His word, and they’re special. The kids

I talked to were like, ‘We love going on pickets.’

It was like, ‘OK, put the cooler in the backseat, and we’re all going to go.’”

Kraus will read from her book, which she describes as “fiction based on a foundation of fact,” at 7 p.m. Wednesday at The Raven Book Store, 6 E. Seventh St. “All God’s Children” tells the story of a custody dispute between a combat vet named Mike and Becca, a fictional member of the Phelps family, over their illegitimate 11-yearold son, David. With the Phelps involved, the case ultimately becomes a battle for the child’s soul and eternal life.

Relying on her extensive research, Kraus explores what happens when religious “beliefs trump everything,” even family and love.

WILL EDDIE REDMAYNE upset Michael Keaton for best actor?

Our critic thinks so. categories aren’t even in question anymore. That’s the case here. Two actors who have been winning everything all season long will receive Oscars for their amazing work in two of the year’s best films, and no one will be disappointed at how easy this was to call.

Will win: Patricia Arquette, “Boyhood,” and J.K. Simmons, “Whiplash” Should win: Patricia Arquette, “Boyhood,” and J.K. Simmons, “Whiplash”

Best actress Marion Cotillard’s subtle and heartbreaking work in the Belgian film “Two Days, One Night” was the surprise nominee here. But she and Reese Witherspoon, whose fierce spirit carried “Wild,” are both previous Oscar winners.

Julianne Moore, nominated four times before, has never won. The Academy likes to reward careers, so Moore has an opportunity on that point alone, but she also turned in a poignant and powerful performance as a woman with Alzheimer’s in “Still Alice,” so this year, it will be impossible to deny one of Hollywood’s most consistent actresses.

Will win: Julianne Moore, “Still Alice”

Should win: Julianne Moore, “Still Alice”

Best actor For this category, I look to the awards season precedents.

For his schizophrenic lead performance in “Birdman,” Michael Keaton won two Critic’s Choice Awards, the National Board of Review, and the Golden Globe for best comedic actor.

Meanwhile, Eddie Redmayne (who played ALSafflicted theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking) won the Golden Globe for dramatic acting, the Screen Actors Guild Award, and the BAFTA. This is a tough one to call, but since the Oscars like characters that overcome disabilities, and since actors make up the biggest voting branch of the Academy, the slight edge goes to …

Will win: Eddie Redmayne, “The Theory of Everything” Should win: Michael Keaton, “Birdman”

Richard Linklater has virtually swept the awards season for pulling

She wants readers to understand that “All God’s Children,” the second book in her Grace McDonald series, isn’t about the Phelpses. Instead, Kraus draws from her experience as a therapist and mediator to examine “what it’s like for a child … in the child custody process.”

They’re the ones who whose “lives are at stake” during these cases, and rarely do they have a say in the matter, Kraus says.

“That’s the underlying theme,” she says. “What would a child raised in this environment — raised to see people on the outside as tools of Satan — to be ordered by a judge that you have to go live with this tool of Satan at least two nights a week?”

off the monumental task of writing and filming an aching coming-of-age movie over 12 years.

But “Birdman” director Alejandro González Iñárritu pulled a shocking upset over Linklater at the Directors Guild Awards just last week. Both films are visionary achievements, but Iñárritu’s is mostly because he pulled off filming “Birdman” in extra-long, uncut takes.

That will be rewarded in the cinematography category, so I’m sticking with Linklater here, even though Iñárritu is the current favorite.

Will win: Richard Linklater, “Boyhood” Should win: Richard Linklater, “Boyhood”

Best picture Well, the biggest award of the night is another nail-biter between “Boyhood” and “Birdman.”

The story here mirrors the directors’ story, with “Birdman” stealing a lastminute best picture Producers Guild Award from perennial frontrunner “Boyhood.” The difference that will push one to victory, however, comes down to the actors.

“Birdman” won the Screen Actors Guild Ensemble award, which is that show’s best picture equivalent. It’s also a bigger, louder movie, and Oscar rarely gives its best picture designation to slow, subtle movies that avoid Hollywood histrionics like “Boyhood.” For those reasons, I’m predicting the third best picture/best director split in a row.

Will win: “Birdman” Should win: “Boyhood” — Eric Melin is the editor-inchief of Scene-Stealers. He’s a member of the Broadcast Film Critics Association and vice president of the Kansas City Film Critics Circle.

BOOK REVIEW

OFF THE RAILS ————————

Dark, ambiguous ‘Girl on the Train’ draws ‘Gone Girl’ comparisons

By Connie Ogle Miami Herald

Critics are comparing Paula Hawkins’ “The Girl on the Train” to Gillian Flynn’s “Gone Girl,” and that’s not a bad thing. For a writer, the mention of “Gone Girl,” which is still on the paperback bestseller list, is probably the best possible scenario.

And the comparison is not completely off-base: Both novels make excellent use of unreliable narrators and slyly examine the darker side of relationships.

But “The Girl on the Train” — the first novel from former journalist Hawkins — stands just fine on its own, thank you.

A compulsively readable nail-biter set in a London suburb that turns out to be anything but cozy, the book may actually have more in common thematically with the Hitchcock film “Rear Window”: It’s a psychological thriller that examines the perils of voyeurism and evaluating events to which you’re only a spectator.

The main (but not

only) narrator is Rachel, a depressed, angry, bitter, blackout-prone alcoholic. “(S)obriety on the evening train is a challenge,” she confides miserably. Gin and tonic in a can is her drink of choice, though at home she often opts for wine. And then more wine.

Rachel rides the train into the city during the week, though she has lost her job and has no pressing need to do so. She lets her roommate believe she’s heading to work each day, but a reckoning is looming because money is getting tight.

These weekday rides provide the only forward momentum in her life: She’s stuck in a cycle of bad decision-making and lies, weeping frequently and clinging to dreams of better days with her exhusband Tom, who left because of her drinking.

(He’s now remarried with a baby.)

Often Rachel wakes with the memory of call-

BOOK REVIEW

Newsday

Possibly the silliest book I have ever read, “Holy Cow,” the debut novel of actor David Duchovny, drove me to Wikipedia to make sure the author has children. Thank God, he does. I comforted myself by picturing him spinning this yarn to entertain them, doing the voices of superhip cow Elsie Bovary; Shalom, the Yiddish-speaking pig; and Tom the pimprollin’ therapy turkey, who by the end of the story has developed a Viennese accent. I could imagine how cute and funny it was for the little ones when Daddy said things like “Boo-ya,” “whatevs,” “sista from another mista,” and “schlimazel”; how they loved it at the end when the globetrotting animals successfully conclude their quest to avoid becoming dinner.

ing or going to his house, sick to her stomach, unsure exactly what happened but knowing she did something dreadful.

Rachel’s only relief comes when she imagines the lives of a couple whose home she passes every day. She watches them from her window, making up names for them (Jess and Jason) and imagining the sweetness of their life together (“They’re a match, they’re a set.

They’re happy, I can tell”). And then one day she sees something surprising, which leads to her becoming dangerously embroiled in a missing-persons case.

nated for the Nobel Prize.

Many parents make up a story like this: I know I did.

Over time, we refine these stories, expand them, polish the jokes and beef up the metaphorical resonance. Some of us probably think, “Hey, my story is great, I oughta publish it!” But because we’re not David Duchovny, we don’t.

Inspired by George Orwell and E.B. White, as he explained in an interview with Rolling Stone, Duchovny believes “Holy Cow” is a story for everyone: “It’s a kids’ book and an adult book,” he said. “It’s a fable, like ‘Animal Farm’ or ‘Charlotte’s Web’; an allegorical story using animals for people.”

As Elsie the slang-

spoutin’ cow might say, “Ya think?”

Elsie, the putative author of “Holy Cow,” tends to ignore her editor, who chimes in from time to time with suggestions, often to increase the likelihood of a film adaptation. For example, the editor advocates “sex, curses, and maybe some potty humor” along with references to Depeche Mode to cater to the older segment of the audience.

Later, she counsels, “Sugar, there’s no way Hollywood will make a movie about a Jewish pig in Israel being stoned by Muslims.

Too many hot buttons.”

They say Duchovny is working on another novel.

BELA FLECK AND ABIGAIL WASHBURN ARE AMONG THE PERFORMERS at this week’s Folk Alliance International Conference Music Fair.

Banjos and beignets

B

y most accounts, the Folk Alliance International Conference has found a good home in Kansas City, with enthusiastic crowds and a talented base of local musicians.

The 27th annual conference returns for its second year in Kansas City from Wednesday through Sunday, with the Music Fair and Winter Music Camp portion of the event to be held at the Sheraton Kansas City Hotel at Crown Center.

The annual event, hosted by the nonprofit Folk Alliance, includes everything from concerts and public speaking events to small acoustic jams in hotel suites hosted by folk music labels. The music fair will feature showcases by hundreds of performers, including Bela Fleck and Abigail Washburn, Sam Baker, Hal Ketchum, a “psychedelic square dance” and a tribute to Pete Seeger. The event is expected to draw several thousand guests, including music agents, publishers and label reps.

Special events at the festival this year include an art gallery, film festival, late-night jam sessions, acoustic battle of the bands and a kids’ music and art camp.

Tickets to the nightly showcases are $25, and

a $125 weekend pass is good for admission to dozens of panels, concerts, discussions and events designed to connect folk music performers and enthusiasts. For details on the schedule and how to register, visit folkalliance.org.

Mardi Gras grub Jax Fish House and Oyster Bar, a brand-new seafood restaurant, is hosting a Mardi Gras dinner party on (this) Fat Tuesday from 4 p.m. until close, which will include shrimp, catfish and oyster po’boys, charbroiled oysters, shrimp and grits and king cake.

Jax, located at 4814 Roanoke Parkway in the sleek Polsinelli building on the west side of the Country Club Plaza, opened in Boulder, Colo., 20 years ago and only recently expanded out of state. With fresh fish and oysters flown in every day, Jax operates under the mantra “friends don’t let friends eat frozen fish.” And with menu items including grilled swordfish, Spanish octopus and peppercorn crusted Ahi tuna, why would you?

The happy hour menu, available from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. daily and all night Monday, includes $1.25 oysters, small plates such as gumbo fries,

SUNDAY Prime Time WOW DTV DISH 7 PM

7:30

steamed mussels and fried calamari for $4 to $7, and a variety of wines and refreshing cocktails.

Check out the full menu at jaxfishhouse.com/ kansas-city.

Another good place to celebrate Mardi Gras season is the Jazz, a Louisiana Kitchen, a Cajun/ creole joint at 1823 W. 39th St. with a second location at 1859 Village West Parkway in the Legends. Try a crawfish po’boy, shrimp etouffee or blackened tuna salad, and don’t forget to save room for bread pudding and Chickory coffee.

Not to be overlooked is the small but mighty Beignet at 307 Main St. in the City Market. Beignet offers sweet dessert beignets with fillings like cinnamon apple, chocolate hazelnut and peaches and cream, but is hardly limited to dessert fare.

A menu of savory beignet, Cajun rice dishes, southern grits and po’boys has everything you’ll want for a full-on New Orleans-style meal.

Beignet is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday.

Adult sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reappearance threatens family Dear Annie: Our daughter and her husband have two young children. Over the years, we have been very close to our grandsons.

We recently found out that our daughter has started a relationship with my son from a first marriage. Forty years ago, I gave up this son for adoption when he was 4 years old. This son contacted me when he was 28. I told him I felt he should have contacted me earlier and that I did not want to start a relationship at that time. I never heard from him again. He is now 44 years old.

We phoned our daughter as soon as we heard about this new relationship and told her we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t too crazy about it. She became angry. They are adults and can have whatever

relationship they want.

We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forbid it. But they phoned us later and left a message on our answering machine saying we are â&#x20AC;&#x153;deadâ&#x20AC;? to them and will â&#x20AC;&#x153;never see our grandsons again.â&#x20AC;? We could hear the kids crying in the background.

My daughter will not speak to us at all. It has broken our hearts. How do we get our grandsons back into our life? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Brokenhearted in Florida

NBC looks back; CBS moves on NBC commemorates its past while CBS quietly ushers out the old. Look for some old favorites on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Saturday Night Live 40th Anniversary Specialâ&#x20AC;?

(7 p.m., NBC). This gathering of hosts, comics, musical acts and special guests completes a glance back that began some weeks ago when VH1 Classic started counting down â&#x20AC;&#x153;SNLâ&#x20AC;? history with a backward-running marathon.

Fans of a certain vintage or sensibility can spend Sunday night watching â&#x20AC;&#x153;60 Minutes,â&#x20AC;? a newsmagazine that has been running since 1968, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;SNL,â&#x20AC;? a comedy institution since 1975.

For all of this nostalgia, this has been a tumultuous week in television. Jon Stewartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to leave â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Daily Showâ&#x20AC;? later this year is both unexpected and unsurprising. After all, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had the job for 16 years and seems the right age to do something different.

The decision of NBC News to suspend Brian Williams without pay is also shocking yet entirely expected. A newscaster now best known for telling tall tales is damaged goods, to say the least. But if NBC is really so concerned about its reputation, why is it still associated with Donald Trump?

While not officially canceled, â&#x20AC;&#x153;CSIâ&#x20AC;? (9 p.m., CBS) will end its 15th season Sunday night with an episode titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;The End Game,â&#x20AC;? one that looks very much like a series ender.

To envision CBS, or television, without â&#x20AC;&#x153;CSI,â&#x20AC;? you have to go back 15 years, when the network was redefining itself.

Along with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Survivor,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;CSIâ&#x20AC;? attracted huge and dependable audiences that helped CBS shed its reputation for safe dramas like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Murder, She Wrote,â&#x20AC;? with Angela Lansbury, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Diagnosis: Murder,â&#x20AC;? starring Dick Van Dyke. â&#x20AC;&#x153;CSIâ&#x20AC;? may be on the way to TVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s morgue, but the franchise will live on with â&#x20AC;&#x153;CSI: Cyber,â&#x20AC;? starring Patricia Arquette (â&#x20AC;?Boyhoodâ&#x20AC;?) and scheduled to debut March 4.

CBSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; week of transition is just beginning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Two and a Half Menâ&#x20AC;? will air its final episode on Thursday night Tonightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other highlights

Edithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s secret leaks on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Downton Abbeyâ&#x20AC;? on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Masterpiece Classicâ&#x20AC;? (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings).

BIRTHDAYS Actress Jane Seymour is 64. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Simpsonsâ&#x20AC;? creator Matt Groening is 61. Singer-songwritermusician Conor Oberst is 35.

Actress Natalie Morales is 30.

Dear Brokenhearted: While we agree that your daughter is treating you harshly and not doing her sons any favors, we are having a hard time sympathizing entirely. You gave up a son when he was 4 years old. And then, when he finally worked up the courage and tracked you down, you blamed him for not contacting you sooner and abandoned him again. This is undoubtedly your daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reaction, as well, after having heard her halfbrotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s version of the events. In order for you to reconcile with your daughter, you may need to first reconcile with your older son.

Please consider it.

Dear Annie: My granddaughter is a nice 21-year-old virgin and wants to stay that way until she is married.

UNIVERSAL CROSSWORD Universal Crossword Edited by Timothy E. Parker February 15, 2015

She was engaged to a nice guy her age. She occasionally allowed him to sleep in her bed, but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t permit him to touch her. Well, apparently he did, and she became angry. Her fiance was also upset and asked for his ring back and stormed out the door. What is wrong with this picture? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Grams Born 1937 Dear Grams: There are two things wrong: The fiance should not be touching his betrothed without her permission. Period. But she should not be inviting him into her bed for the night without understanding how such intimacy undermines her resolve, as well as his. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Send questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or Annieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mailbox, P.O.

For Sunday, Feb. 15: This year you break a pattern that has not served you, perhaps one that involves judging others.

You will find that any trait can be changed with some work. If you are single, you could meet someone who is very manipulative. Be willing to walk away from this relationship. If you are attached, the two of you often struggle with control issues.

The stars show the kind of day youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) Tension will continue to build until you handle a responsibility for an older person. Tonight: Out late.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You might resent a very pushy friend who wants you to proceed as he or she would like you to. Tonight: Take in a movie.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Dealing with an authority figure might not be as easy as you would like it to be. Tonight: Go along with a loved oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suggestion.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) A difference of opinion could force you to do some important thinking and assessing.

Tonight: Make it easy.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Be careful with a partner who seems to need a lot of extra attention. Tonight: Get a good nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sleep.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Take a day to be a child again, and start enjoying some of your favorite pastimes. Tonight: Add some mischief to the moment.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You have a way about you that draws others in. Someone might be on the offensive.

Tonight: Get a head start on tomorrow.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) If a loved one becomes unusually difficult, know that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to accept this behavior. Tonight: Hang out.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be full of get-upand-go, but others might not be able to keep up with you. Tonight: Order in.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might want to indulge others and take the lead with a project or idea. Tonight: Whatever your heart desires.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You usually are quite verbal, but you will enjoy allowing someone else to do the talking for now. Tonight: Get some extra zzzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You might find that you need to change your plans with a friend who might be disgruntled.

Tonight: All smiles.
