Speech group: KU should exonerate professor

LHS grad, among top SCOTUS candidates, led colorful life as Lawrence teenager

n the Lawrence High School yearbook from Sri Srinivasan’s graduating year, Srinivasan is not confined to his senior picture.

There are pictures of him playing basketball and performing with the band. In the last few pages, there’s a picture of him in sunglasses, dancing while giving a graduation speech in the form of a rap. This, people say, is Srinivasan: much more than his considerable academic accolades might suggest.

“It wasn’t as though he didn’t

have a sense of humor,” said Kenneth Highfill, former LHS science teacher. Srinivasan and a classmate convinced school administrators to let them do the rap as their graduation speech, Highfill said. “That shows you a little bit about his inner personality.”

The graduation rap, delivered in rhyming couplets, catalogued experiences — jokes throughout — of the class of 1985, still ending with

An article published this week by the Foundation for Individual Rights in Quenette Education (FIRE), highlights the case of Andrea Quenette, assistant professor of communication studies.

SUV crash takes out power pole, shuts down part of Iowa Street

By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

Several blocks of one of Lawrence’s main thoroughfares were shut down Friday after a vehicle crashed into a power pole.

Around 1 p.m. an SUV, northbound on Iowa Street, hit a pole on the east side of the road, said Lawrence Police Sgt. Trent McKinley.

The pole snapped in half, dropping power lines around the vehicle and onto

the ground.

“The driver had to sit in his car because the wires came down on top of his car,” McKinley said. “We had to stand back at a distance and encourage him to stay put because he could get electrocuted.”

Power lines also fell onto a nearby wooden fence, which caught fire, McKinley said. A small patch of grass at the base of a second power pole also briefly sparked.

WESTAR AND WOW PERSONNEL survey the damage on Iowa Street just north of 27th Street, after a vehicle crashed through a utility pole, snapping it in half and causing loss of power on sections of the east side of the street Friday afternoon.

Both small fires were quickly extinguished, McKinley said.

Once Westar Energy crews arrived on scene and turned off the power, the driver, who was the only person inside the vehicle, was able to exit the SUV, McKinley said. The man was not injured in the crash.

Police conducted a field sobriety test on the driver at the scene, but did not

LAWRENCE • STATE

Court bars access to voting machine tapes Wichita (ap) — A judge denied a Wichita mathematician’s request for access to paper voting machine tapes from the 2014 election that she wants to examine for evidence of possible fraud or malfunctioning.

Sedgwick County Judge Tim Lahey ruled Thursday that he couldn’t order county officials to turn over the tapes to Beth Clarkson because she presented the same argument in a previous lawsuit she lost. He denied a motion by the county’s election commissioner, Tabitha Lehman, to dismiss Clarkson’s open records case, but it was a hollow victory, since the point of the lawsuit was to check the accuracy of the voting machines, the Wichita Eagle reported.

Speech

Crash

More than 100 people, most of them voting rights supporters, packed the courtroom to watch the proceedings.

The judge told Clarkson’s attorney, Randy Rathbun, that he couldn’t order the county to turn over the tapes the law prohibits litigating the same legal issue, by the same parties, twice.

Lahey told Rathbun he “won the battle” because the case could go to trial on the question of whether to have the recount. But he says he “lost the war” because she won’t get access to the voting machine tapes even if she wins at trial.

Rathbun, a former U.S. attorney who took up her recent case without charge, said he plans to appeal the ruling.

Clarkson, chief statisti-

cian for Wichita State University’s National Institute for Aviation Research, lost the earlier open-records case because she is a brilliant statistician, but “a horrible lawyer,” Rathbun said.

Rathbun sought a recount of votes on the assumption that Clarkson would be able to watch the process and get the information she wants.

The judge ruled Clarkson had made a timely request for a recount of votes cast in 2014 and rejected the county’s argument that too much time had passed to conduct a recount.

Although it wouldn’t change the outcome of any elections, which have already been certified, even a belated recount would have value in ensuring the integrity of elections, Lahey said.

LAWRENCE AND ALLEN FIELDHOUSE hosted the Kansas 6A 1984 state basketball championships where both the Lawrence Lions girls and boys teams competed in the championship game. The girls won but the boys lost. The Lions led by seniors, and soon-to-be Jayhawks Danny Manning and Chris Piper, also featured junior point guard Sri Srinivasan. Srinivasan graduated from LHS in 1985 and was inducted into its Hall of Honor on Sept. 29, 2013.

“As a basketball player he was not physically gifted — he was not very strong or tall — but he knew the game and he was a good leader, and kids looked up to him,” Juneau said.

In addition to basketball, Srinivasan also played percussion in the LHS band. That was part of the reason he and his classmate, Eric “Rick” Mikkelson, decided to use that musical ability to break with the common commencement speech (which they did somewhat unapologetically — one of the first verses is: “We’re breaking tradition, the yearly repetition. If you’ve got a problem, sign a petition.”)

Mikkelson said they decided to incorporate music into the speech because of Srinivasan.

“He was quite talented,” Mikkelson said. “He was in charge of keeping the beat for our graduation rap.”

Mikkelson went to West Junior High, LHS and Stanford with Srinivasan and is currently an attorney in Kansas City, Mo. Mikkelson, who remains friends with Srinivasan, said that what stands out about him is his particular combination of traits.

“Starting in seventh grade we went to school together, through our college careers,” he said.

“He is and was a unique combination of brilliance and humility, which is very rare to get both of those in one person.”

Before his current position, Srinivasan was principal deputy solicitor general in the Justice Department, where he argued cases on behalf of the government in the U.S. Supreme Court.

In 2013, Srinivasan was inducted into the LHS Hall of Honor. Highfill, who said he remembered Srinivasan as always being courteous to others while a student at LHS, said that he exhibited those same traits following the 2013 Hall of Honor ceremony. Srinivasan talked with everyone and

DEERFIELD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL FIFTH-GRADERS MAEVE O’LEAR, LEFT, AND ELLA SCHENKEL practice ukuleles during music class Wednesday. Music teacher Sara Bonner received a classroom set of 24 ukuleles from a grant from the Lawrence Schools Foundation. This is the first year students at the school have practiced the instrument.

Deerfield students learn a new instrument

ementary school students are often limited to the unaccompanied trill of a recorder, but out of the music room at Deerfield Elementary could be heard a different kind of sound.

On Wednesday, fifth-grade students strummed notes on a set of ukuleles, singing along with the song as they played.

“You don’t need to worry about the song,” Deerfield music teacher Sara Bonner told her students before they began to play. “All you need to worry about is you’re going to play a little C after a little F.” The lessons began with just a few of the instruments last school year, but a grant enabled Bonner to purchase additional ukuleles in order to have a classroom set of 30 for this school year. The pitch and size of the instruments, which look like tiny guitars, fit the age group well, Bonner said.

“I love the sound of children’s

— Ian Murphy, Deerfield fifth-grader voices with ukulele, because it’s right in their range,” she said.

“The guitar is lower, but this is really right in their sweet spot, so it made perfect sense that way.”

Fifth-grader Ian Murphy agreed as he sat practicing his ukulele by looking at cards with pictures of how to play certain notes. Ian said that “a little while ago,” he didn’t really like musical instruments, but that has changed.

“I like it because it just makes a fun pitch,” he said. “I like playing because I like singing, and it matches up well with the music.”

The $1,000 grant to purchase the ukuleles was awarded by the Lawrence Schools Foundation, and also included online training for Bonner to learn techniques to teach ukulele to an elementary

age group.

The foundation raises money to benefit educational programs within Lawrence public schools, and Bonner and another music teacher at Sunset Hill Elementary received the “Music Works!” grant to purchase ukuleles for their classrooms. The goal of the grant is to enhance and enrich music education.

After completing their recorder unit last semester, Bonner said that the Deerfield fifth-graders have learned to play a handful of chords and notes on the ukulele, including C, D, F and open strings (G, middle C, E and A).

Fifth-grader Ella McCleary sat in a circle of friends as she practiced new notes on Wednesday.

“I like learning the different chords, because you can play a lot of things with just a little amount of chords,” she said.

But the group of students acknowledged it took a little while to get the hang of the instrument.

KU announcers should get separate recognition

By Dolph C. Simons Jr.

Bob Davis, “the voice of the Jayhawks,” will be retiring at the end of the current Kansas University basketball season.

Hopefully, his broadcasting will continue well past the post-season Big 12 conference tournament in Kansas City and deep into the NCAA basketball championship tournament.

Davis has been behind the microphone telling the KU athletics story for the past 32 years.

He has done a good job, is highly regarded within the broadcasting fraternity and has conducted himself, both professionally and

personally, in a manner that reflects credit on the university.

During the current basketball campaign, he has been recognized and honored by athletic departments of Big 12 schools and received numerous gifts and mementos.

Some years ago, a banner was hung from the rafters in the southwest corner of Allen Fieldhouse to honor longtime KU announcer Max Falkenstien. This banner was placed alongside the jerseys of basketball greats who played at KU. If banners are to be awarded and displayed to honor KU broadcasters (paid employees of the athletic department), it seems

It is almost a sure bet Davis will be recognized and honored for his long career. However, when an appropriate means of recognizing Davis is decided, whether it’s a banner, a sign, a plaque, a formal resolution or maybe a large photograph of Davis behind a microphone, it, along with Falkenstien’s banner should be placed at a different fieldhouse location, not among the jerseys worn by the school’s great players.

But dirt work began on the site in the last couple of days, and folks with knowledge of the project tell me that Spin is still very much part of the project. I’ve got a call in to a representative to find out more about when the

State Sen. Tom Holland, DBaldwin City, and Rep. John Wilson, D-Lawrence, will host town hall meetings Sunday in Baldwin City and Eudora to listen to comments, questions and concerns about Kansas state government and the current legislative session.

Members of the public are wel- Holland come and encouraged to attend.

The Baldwin City meeting will be from 2 to 3 p.m. Sunday at the Lumberyard Arts Center, 718 High St. The Eudora meeting will be from 4 to 5 p.m. at the Eudora Community Center, 630 Elm St. Holland serves the Kansas Senate’s 3rd District, which includes portions of Douglas and Leavenworth counties. Wilson serves the Kansas Wilson House of Representatives’ 10th District, which includes portions of Douglas County.

Sales Tax is one of 12 senators sponsoring the bipartisan proposal. “But it’s a means to an end to helping people.”

Groceries are exempt from state sales taxes in 32 states, while six states charge a reduced state sales tax for groceries.

Five states don’t have sales taxes, which many critics contend are regressive because they are more of a burden for lower-income households.

The second proposal would reduce the grocery sales tax to 2.6 percent while also ending a sales tax exemption for about 330,000 businesses.

Rep. Marvin Kleeb, an Overland Park Republican

nutrition and youth, has advocated for reduced grocery taxes.

“With local sales tax on top of the 6.5 percent state tax, you’ve got people paying 9 percent to above 10 percent on sales tax on food in some places,” said Ashley JonesWisner, the group’s state policy manager. “Food is not a luxury item.”

The group worked with Wichita State University, which released a series of reports concluding that the tax on groceries puts an unfair burden on low-income Kansans, hurts rural grocery stores and damages the economy in counties bordering other states that charge lower rates.

Kleeb said no evidence exists to show large numbers of Kansans are driving to other states to buy groceries.

“It’s tricky to know when to move your fingers and knowing where to move them,” said fifthgrader Olivia Romero.

All three fifth-grade classes will showcase their new skills at their music program on April 14. Bonner said the students will perform six to eight songs, at least three of which will be accompanied by ukulele. The students will select the songs themselves, and each class will learn one song to play on ukulele for the performance, she said.

popular KC pizzeria hopes to open in Lawrence.

For those of you not familiar with the restaurant, it touts itself as an artisan-style pizzeria, with Neapolitan crusts. That means hand-spun, thin crusts that are cooked in a stone oven. The artisan part also means a variety of toppings. Cheeses range from the traditional mozzarella to Asiago, feta and something called taleggio. Meats include staples like Italian sausage and pepperoni but also Italian bacon, Scimeca’s meatballs, and salami. In addition there are things like arugula, pine nuts, crushed glazed pecans, fig onion marmalade and sun-dried tomato relish that you can put on your

pizza and whatever tie you happen to be wearing that day.

The restaurant has been popular in Kansas City since it opened its first restaurant in 2005.

We’ll see if the development spurs more activity around the northwest Walmart. The outparcels surrounding the Walmart have been very slow to develop. Plans filed with the city show that there are five more lots that could be developed with restaurant or retail uses surrounding the Walmart. Years ago, most folks would not have bet that those lots would still be vacant today, but for whatever reason, development around the Walmart has

not taken off.

The Spin pizza development is likely to bring at least a couple more businesses to the site. As we previously have reported, the building that will house Spin actually will be a 12,000-squarefoot building that will house two restaurants and a boutique retail type of tenant. There have been no announcements on the other restaurant or the retail tenants.

As we’ve previously mentioned, there’s certainly been speculation that the large Kansas City-based restaurant company KC Hopps has chosen the site for one of its restaurants. I’ve got a call in to KC Hopps officials but haven’t had

luck in getting information from them in the past. The company operates several restaurants in KC, including Barley’s Brewhaus, 75th Street Brewery, Stroud’s and 810 Zone. But the restaurant that sources have told me is most likely for the spot is the company’s Blue Moose Bar and Grill. But take that for whatever you think it is worth because it is unconfirmed at this point. l Pile of dirt No. 2 is at the northwest corner of 31st and Louisiana streets, and it has gotten several of you excited about what is going in there. Well, it is a sewage pump station.

and chairman of the House Taxation Committee, plans to hold hearings on that proposal, which was offered by Rep. Mark Hutton, R-Wichita. Kleeb said the proposal is “problematic” because it forces a shift in tax policy.

“But I think it lays the groundwork for reviewing our overall revenuegenerating plan,” he said.

“I’m interested in hearing all the pros and cons.”

Critics say Kansas’ sales tax rate on groceries is high compared to other states. Missouri’s state sales tax on groceries is 1.225 percent, with local sales taxes added.

Colorado and Nebraska exempt grocery items, while Oklahoma’s 4.5 percent state sales tax applies to groceries.

ARTIST NACHO RODRIGUEZ BACH TALKS WITH EMILY RYAN, associate director of The Commons, after installing his interactive project “The Path of Thought” on Wednesday at Spooner Hall on the Kansas University campus. The path is constructed through a series of signs exploring topics such as free thought and one’s power to counter negativity.

The display will be on display through Thursday at The Commons before traveling to other sites on campus and throughout the community this spring.

Dry, windy weather may affect weekend plans Lights I & Sirens t’s the end of the week and my girlfriend’s folks are coming to town for a visit. The plan was to grill outside and enjoy the unseasonably warm weather we’ve been having, but now that’s off.

The National Weather Service in Topeka issued a Red Flag Fire Weather Warning on Friday because of the low humidity levels and high winds.

Because of the warning, Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical has prohibited all burns both in the city and in the county and is urging area residents to take all necessary precautions to avoid sparking a fire.

Barbecue grills are not banned, but are not recommended.

“My advice is that today would probably not be an ideal day to grill,” said LDCFM Division Chief Jim King on Friday.

“It would be better to wait until the humidity is higher and conditions are better.”

Lawrence’s humidity level is currently hovering around 20 percent with gusts of wind expected

the National Weather Service will issue a red flag warning online at www.weather.gov, King said. That message will then be spread around through various media outlets and city or county departments.

The most common cause of sparked fires within city limits is improperly disposed-of materials, King Conrad Swanson smoking said. cswanson@ljworld.com “That’s why it’s important to keep vegetation as fast as 25 mph, said and yard debris cleaned NWS meteorologist intern up around the properties Brandon Drake.

initiated by trains,” he said. “When they’re braking, their brakes get hot and embers can spark between the rails and the wheels.”

Other fires can begin as controlled burns, but quickly grow out of control, King said.

“And this time of year there’s a lot of pasture management going on.

It’s critical for people in rural areas to be aware of the wind and weather conditions and not burn on days that are windy or very dry,” he said. “Pay attention to the weather service.”

Drake said there are slight chances of rain tonight and possibly on Tuesday, but otherwise it’s expected to be dry with temperatures around the 50s.

Until the foliage begins to turn green and the humidity levels rise, it looks like my grill will sit idly by waiting for that perfect day.

City to begin yard waste collection Staff Reports

The city of Lawrence’s Solid Waste Division will begin yard waste collection two weeks earlier than planned this year, the city announced in a news release Friday.

Yard waste, which is taken to the city’s compost facility, will be collected separately from trash starting Monday.

Guidelines for yard

waste collection are listed below: l Set out yard waste by 6 a.m. on Mondays in cans, city trash carts (not recycling carts), yard waste carts or compostable paper bags. l No container should weigh more than 65 pounds, unless it is a wheeled city cart. Yard waste should not extend more than 12 inches above the top of the container.

l Plastic bags may not be used for yard waste, which includes leaves, grass clippings, garden waste, brush and prunings from trees and shrubs. l Bundles of tree and brush trimmings are accepted. Bundles must not exceed 5 feet in length or 18 inches in diameter and must not weigh more than 65 pounds. Bundles must be tied with a durable string or twine (not

Overton also spoke with 80 people who were part of focus groups that provided feedback on how the fair could create a better identity and more user-friendly grounds.

All of Overton’s concepts include renovating the Expo Center, reconfiguring the main thoroughfares and creating a main street that would include items unique to Kansas.

“Quaint shops, wine tasting, maybe an impromptu restaurant,

something that makes it a little bit different than just a fair,” Overton said.

Part of the plan also includes addressing a few aging buildings, which is about 9 percent of the total infrastructure.

Fair board member Sue Schlapp said she hoped that the new plans would allow the fair to become more inclusive.

“It is perceived by the average person that it is about the kids, 4-H, you can go there and get a hot dog on a stick, all very nice,” she said. “But I don’t know if that is something that takes me out of my living room.

K-State planning new veterinary lab Topeka — A proposal to build a new veterinary laboratory at Kansas State University is one step closer to reality.

The Kansas Board of Regents on Wednesday approved the university’s proposal for a Kansas State Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory, with an estimated cost of $43.2 million. The project still must be approved the Kansas Legislature.

The Manhattan Mercury reports the university plans an 80,000-squarefoot facility. The new building will allow the university to consolidate its diagnostic and research labs with offices and support facilities.

Regent Bill Feuerborn said K-State will seek $10 million in private donations for the project.

A timeline for the construction, if the project is approved, has not been set.

Dear Annie: I am a manager of a small company. The problem is, one employee burps uncontrollably throughout the day. She seems shocked every time it happens. I find this to be unprofessional and rude, and it is horribly embarrassing when it occurs in front of colleagues. People laugh behind her back.

I’ve tried to make a joke of it by brushing off my shirt and saying, “Glad you didn’t get any on me.” Nothing has any effect. What’s to be done? — Please Stop Dear Please: This woman probably has some gastrointestinal problem that causes the constant burping (usually acid reflux or irritable bowel syndrome, but it could also be an ulcer or infection, or worse). She undoubtedly would like it to stop.

Sanders unlikely to match Obama success To paraphrase former Sen. Lloyd Bentsen’s famous line, Bernie Sanders is no Barack Obama. While younger voters seem to have taken a shine to him, his presidential prospects remain less than bright.

The initial Democratic presidential tests indicate the 74-year-old Vermont senator is matching the former Illinois senator’s 2008 achievement against Hillary Clinton by winning substantial majorities from younger Democratic voters.

And if he extends the support he received from the predominantly white voters of Iowa and New Hampshire to the more diverse electorates in Nevada and South Carolina, he could upset Clinton’s hope of using those forthcoming contests as a springboard to restore her lost momentum.

The reasons for the senator’s appeal are pretty evident when one talks to younger voters. They like his advocacy of free tuition at state universities and guaranteed medical care for all. Others cite his pledge to increase the minimum wage. But some are making an illogical leap of faith: One female student at Iowa State University told me she thought Sanders had a better chance of achieving equal rights for women than Clinton.

Meanwhile, Sanders might have a greater chance of benefiting from enthusiasm among

The reasons for the senator’s appeal are pretty evident when one talks to younger voters. … But some are making an illogical leap of faith: One female student at Iowa State University told me she thought Sanders had a better chance of achieving equal rights for women than Clinton.”

younger voters in Nevada, which holds its caucuses today, than in South Carolina, where Democrats vote Feb. 27. Tad Devine, Sanders’ top political strategist, signaled that thinking when he told reporters the campaign senses growing support among younger Nevada Hispanics. In 2008, exit polls from Democratic primaries showed Hispanic voters were relatively younger than other groups.

Still, they only represented about 15 percent of the Nevada electorate, about the same proportion as its African-American voters.

In South Carolina, moreover, younger voters represented a smaller proportion of AfricanAmericans and, while there are already signs Sanders will make inroads among them, Clinton is counting on solid majorities from middle-aged and older black voters. And as a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll showed, while Sanders does better among 18-to-29-year-old South Carolina African-Americans than among older ones, he still trails Clinton in that younger group.

Indeed, along with the elected officials who are automatic “super delegates,” AfricanAmericans remain the closest thing that Clinton has to a “firewall” that will help her withstand the momentum Sanders gained in New Hampshire.

It’s likely that more than half of South Carolina Democratic voters who turn out will be black, and African-Americans also will account for a large portion in some states voting on March 1. Unless Sanders wins enough of that vote and replicates his New Hampshire showing among whites, he will have difficulty winning the bulk of their delegates.

An interesting footnote: The fact that Nevada and South Caro-

lina are in position to help Clinton restore her tattered frontrunner status is the result of a decision several elections back to make the early nominating process more representative.

Democratic Party leaders decided the way to balance the impact of the non-typical, overwhelmingly white states of Iowa and New Hampshire was to schedule early tests in two states with more diverse populations.

They added South Carolina, because of its large African-American population, and Nevada, because it has a substantial number of both Hispanics and labor union members.

Taken as a group, party leaders felt, the four states would provide a more accurate picture of how Democratic Party voters felt as a whole than just Iowa and New Hampshire. This year, they will have the added impact of showing whether the strong Sanders showing, especially in New Hampshire, was unique or represents broader sentiment among Democrats.

If Sanders can make the kind of inroads among the younger minority voters of Nevada and South Carolina that he did among the white voters of Iowa and New Hampshire, it will show that Clinton’s candidacy is in greater trouble than most analysts ever imagined was possible.

PUBLIC FORUM

Misguided effort To the editor: The Tobacco-Free Living group recently announced plans to attempt to raise the legal tobacco-purchasing age in Lawrence to 21. I support the group’s goal to reduce smoking, but disagree with this initiative.

Prohibition always seems like the easiest path to progress, but is also fraught with problems.

The most complicated issue is enforcement. This burden usually falls on retailers, and understandably is often applied in an inconsistent manner. In a city where approximately 20 percent of the population falls into 18-20 age range this seems like an unusually difficult task.

Resources to curb smoking are limited. Education efforts among minors have been effective and led to fewer smokers.

These resources should continue to back efforts that will likely be more effective than lobbying for an ordinance that may or may not be adopted.

Finally, that stubborn idea called liberty is an issue as well.

A change in the minimum age is

insulting to adults who are not yet 21. In effect, Lawrence would be saying this age group is not intelligent enough to make sound decisions. By virtually every useful legal definition, 18-yearold citizens are defined as adults.

Let’s treat them as such and let them make their own decisions.

Patrick Wilbur, Lawrence

Meeting needs To the editor: This is a message for the Kansas Legislature.

You are understandably outraged that you would have to bail out Kansas University if that institution failed to plan for the budgetary needs of the Central District. I share your outrage, Sen. Ty Masterson, R-Andover; Sen. Tom Arpke, R-Salina; and Rep. Ron Ryckman Jr., R-Olathe.

How dare the decision-makers of an institution fail to plan and fail to fund their own budgetary needs!

I believe in personal responsibility and I believe that the decision-makers of institutions that

fail to plan to fund their budgetary needs should pay the price, not we the people of Kansas. I believe that we the people shouldn’t have to pay for decision-makers who refuse to comply to court ordered constitutional commandments. I believe that we the people shouldn’t be asked to bail out decision-makers who make patently absurd and constitutionally improper funding decisions.

And I am tired of repeatedly hearing about the people of Kansas having to do so: $9 billion unfunded KPERS liability, $100 million planned “temporary” pilfering of KPERS

by Gov. Brownback, $500,000 to $1 million monthly loss of federal funding because of the decertification of Osawatomie State Hospital — and on and on.

I grow weary and I share our outrage. Hopefully this outrage can lead to a solution. So I beg you, as the decision-makers of the institution that continues to fail to meet the budgetary needs of the state of Kansas, do your constitutional duty or get out of our House.

From the Lawrence Daily JournalWorld for Feb. 20, 1916: “An agitation years was started this ago morning to secure IN 1916 for Lawrence an up-to-date street cleaning department. A body of merchants who are out of harmony with the present method of street cleaning met in the rooms of the Merchants and Farmers association with Commissioner W. W. Cleland to discuss the proposition of buying a street sweeper to supersede the method of sprinkling which hitherto has been employed. ... The voice of the meeting this morning was for a street sweeper with rotary brushes and sprinkler attachment to lay the dust. This machine could be purchased according to information brought before the meeting at a cost of $550.”

“None of the so-called modern dances will be prohibited at University of Kansas dances as far as Mrs. Eustace Brown, adviser of women, is concerned. Mrs. Brown has her own personal dislikes for some of the new steps, but she does not think that barring any specific dances will accomplish the desired result. ‘Any dance can be polluted,’ Mrs. Brown said yesterday. ‘So the rules to which I ask the girls to conform in dancing, concern all dances.’ Here are Mrs. Brown’s rules for K. U. co-eds.

‘There shall be no bodily contact in dancing.’ ‘Girls shall not allow their partners to put them in extreme positions which would render them conspicuous.’ ‘No girl should dance all evening with one young man.’”

Obama to start vetting candidates GOP still not on board as process to replace Scalia on Supreme Court begins Gregory Korte USA TODAY

WASHINGTON President Obama has made phone calls to Senate leaders and will begin vetting specific candidates over the weekend as he prepares to nominate a candidate to fill the Supreme Court vacancy left by Justice Antonin Scalia’s death, the White House said Friday.

Obama will spend “a good part of the weekend” reviewing files on potential candidates prepared by the White House Counsel’s office, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said.

“The president does not have a short list, and a list has not been completed,” he said. “This is the very beginning of the process.”

Earnest wouldn’t give a number of candidates being considered (“certainly more than two,” he allowed), or a specific timetable (“not one that I’m prepared to share publicly.”)

But he made clear the process is moving forward despite the insistence of some Republicans that he should allow the next president to make the nomination next January.

Late Thursday and early Friday, Obama spoke by phone with the four Senate leaders who will

be most instrumental in allowing a vote on his nominee: Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., Minority Leader Harry Reid, DNev., Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Ranking Member Patrick Leahy, D-Vt. Earnest said those calls were a sign that Obama takes seriously the Senate’s constitutional role of giving advice and consent to the president’s judicial nominees.

But the position of the GOP leaders has not changed.

In an op-ed published in The Washington Post on Friday, McConnell and Grassley said they believe the rare electionyear vacancy should allow voters to help decide the balance of the Supreme Court through the outcome of the presidential election.

arper Lee, the little girl named Nelle who grew up to write one of the 20th century’s most culture-changing novels, has died in her beloved hometown of Monroeville, Ala. She was 89.

Her death Friday was confirmed by a spokeswoman for the mayor’s office in Monroeville who would not provide a name and was first reported by an Alabama local news website.

Her current publisher, Harper Collins, issued a statement Friday from Michael Morrison, president and publisher in the USA

and Canada: “We are deeply saddened by the passing of our beloved author, Harper Lee. She died peacefully in the early hours of this morning at the age of 89.”

(HarperCollins initially said her death was Thursday night but issued a corrected statement later.)

Lee remained, to the end, immune to the blandishments of worldwide fame, which enveloped her in 1960 with the publication of her first novel, To Kill a Mockingbird. It won the Pulitzer Prize, has sold more than 30 million copies in English, remains in print (selling more than a million copies a year) and in every school in America, and, until last year, was her only book.

After Mockingbird was published, after the Oscar-winning

movie starring Gregory Peck came out in 1962, Lee stopped talking to the press, went home to Monroeville and closed her door.

She kept it closed for decades, emerging only occasionally to write something for Lee-loving Oprah Winfrey’s magazine, or to receive the 2007 Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Bush at the White House.

Even then, she didn’t say much.

On the 50th anniversary of Mockingbird’s publication in 2010, Lee remained elusive.

U.S. warplanes on Friday bombed an Islamic State training camp in Libya, targeting a militant linked to two terror attacks in Tunisia last year, the Pentagon said.

The strike highlights growing concerns about the Islamic State’s expansion into Libya, an unstable country with rival governments vying for power.

More than 30 militants from the extremist group, also known as ISIL, were killed at the camp near the coastal city of Sabratha, near the border with Tunisia, according to media reports. The strike was first reported by The New York Times.

Noureddine Chouchane, the target of the strike, has been named as a suspect in the attack at the Bardo Museum in the Tunisian capital of Tunis, which killed 22 people in March, and a June attack that killed 38 people in the seaside resort of Sousse.

The Pentagon said it was still assessing the results of the strike, including whether Chouchane was killed.

But it said his death would have an impact on the Islamic State’s ability to conduct operations in Libya and the region.

DOJ suggests Apple’s refusal to comply is a stunt Cook: ‘Moment calls for public discussion’ Kevin Johnson USA TODAY

Raising the stakes in its battle with Apple, the U.S. government went back to court Friday in an attempt to force the technology giant to comply with a court order this week directing the company to assist the FBI in unlocking the cellphone used by one of the terrorists in December’s San Bernardino massacre.

“Rather than assist the effort WASHINGTON

to fully investigate a deadly terrorist attack by obeying the court’s order, Apple has responded by publicly repudiating that order,” Justice Department lawyers asserted Friday.

Following a federal magistrate’s order late Wednesday, Apple CEO Tim Cook said the company would fight the decision, saying the government had demanded that the company take “an unprecedented step which threatens the security of our customers.”

“We oppose this order, which has implications far beyond the legal case at hand,” Cook said.

“This moment calls for public

discussion, and we want our customers and people around the country to understand what is at stake.”

For the time being, that dis-

cussion has been diverted to the courts, where Justice officials Friday argued that Apple, through its marketing and design strategy, has sought to “allow technology, rather than the law, to control access to data which as been found by this court to be warranted for an important investigation.”

For more than two months since the attacks that left 14 dead and 22 others wounded, the FBI has been unable to unlock the phone used by one of the shooters, Syed Farook, to determine in part whether there is evidence that any others may have been involved in the assault and to

learn whether Farook was in communication with victims of the attack.

Specifically, the FBI has asked that the company create software that would bypass some security features on newer versions of the iPhone that would allow investigators to break the password for access to the phone’s contents.

“The government does not seek to deny Apple its right to be heard,” Justice lawyers said in the new court documents, “however, the urgency of this investigation requires this motion now that Apple has made its intention not to comply patently clear.”

In Venezuela, it’s the end of 8-cent gas Rampant inflation, staggering economy prompt rare increase in oil-rich nation Peter Wilson

Special for USA TODAY CARACAS , VENEZUELA

In a country that has the world’s largest oil reserves and the cheapest gas on the planet, Venezuelans have become accustomed to paying just a few pennies for a gallon of gasoline. It has been one of the few bright spots in a cratering economy racked by rampant inflation and shortages of basic goods.

The depth of Venezuela’s economic woes was underscored dramatically by the socialist government’s decision this week to hike heavily subsidized gas prices by as much as 6,000%, starting Friday.

Embattled President Nicolás Maduro announced the first increase in gas prices in nearly two decades to avoid a default on Venezuela’s foreign debts, which are becoming more burdensome as its economy continues to plunge along with the global price of oil, Venezuela’s main export.

Gasoline prices will rise to $2.85 a gallon for 95 octane, and to 38 cents for 91 octane, based on the official exchange rate of 10 bolivars to the dollar. Of course, at the widely used black market rate, where a dollar costs 1,000 bolivars, gas will still go for just a few Yankee pennies.

“This is a necessary measure, for which I assume the responsibility,” a somber-looking Maduro

said Wednesday evening during a televised four-hour address. He also announced a 37% currency devaluation, a raise in the minimum wage from $965 to $1,158 a month and new state-set prices on about 100 goods and services, all of which are sure to rise. “Our gasoline is the cheapest in the world,” he reminded Venezuelans.

In anticipation of Friday’s higher prices, drivers had formed long lines at gas stations to fill up their tanks.

The long-expected price hike was grudgingly accepted by many here as a needed reduction in government gas subsidies that cost billions of dollars annually, especially as inflation is expected to top 700% this year and the economy is forecast to contract 8% — after a 10% decline in 2015.

“I can accept an increase in gasoline prices, but only if the government stops giving away oil to Cuba and other Caribbean nations,” said Roberto Duran, 45, a technician from Caracas. “I don’t mind paying more, but this has to be part of a comprehensive package of reforms.”

Venezuela sends about 90,000 barrels of crude oil a day to Cuba in return for Cuban doctors, dentists and other medical specialists sent to Venezuela to work.

Cuba has been a close ally ever since Hugo Chávez was elected president in 1999 and led a socialist government until his death in

Cars wait in lines at a gas station in Caracas on Wednesday, when the price increase was announced.

2013. Maduro, his hand-picked successor, has never been as popular, as the economy has steadily deteriorated on his watch. His approval rating hovers around 25%, according to recent polls. And in December elections, the political opposition won control of the legislative branch for the first time in 16 years.

In 1989, a hike in gas prices and increases in public transportation costs led to days of rioting that claimed thousands of lives. So far, reaction to the new gas prices has been far more muted, given all the other economic problems people here must confront.

Venezuela is beset by huge shortages of food, medicines and staples such as toilet paper and shampoo, the result of government price controls and artificial foreign exchange rates that discourage importers from doing business in the country.

Francisco Martinez, who heads the country’s largest business association, welcomed some of the announced economic measures as overdue. “We hope that after these announcements ... we can work on the structural problems

‘Go Set a Watchman’ put Lee back in the spotlight v CONTINUED FROM 1B

versary celebrations noisily proceeded throughout the nation.

Now Aaron Sorkin is bringing a stage adaption to Broadway; he joined the scores of people, famous and not, issuing condolences.

“Like millions of others, I was saddened to learn this morning of the passing of Harper Lee, one of America’s most beloved authors.

I’m honored to have the opportunity to adapt her seminal novel for the stage,” Sorkin said in a statement.

To Kill a Mockingbird was the Huckleberry Finn of the 20th century,” said Charles J. Shields, author of a 2006 biography, Mockingbird: A Portrait of Harper Lee. “It redirected American’s gaze after WWII and the excitement of the 1950s back to the enduring problems of racism and injustice in this country.”

Her endearing and enduring novel, set in 1930s Maycomb, Ala. (the stand-in for Monroeville), is the story of upstanding lawyer Atticus Finch, who defends a black man falsely accused of rape in a time and place when that could get a man killed.

The story is told through the eyes of Atticus’ small tomboy daughter, Scout, and features, among many memorable characters, her neighbor pal, Dill, a stand-in for Lee’s childhood friend, the writer Truman Capote, who spent his early years in Monroeville, prompting the town to refer to itself today as the “Literary Capital of Alabama.”

After years of being left alone, Lee was catapulted back into the public eye last year with the release of Go Set a Watchman, a “newly discovered” novel she wrote in the 1950s and only the second book from her.

Watchman essentially is an early draft of Mockingbird; most shockingly, it revealed Atticus Finch to be a racist. The controversy over the novel, and worldwide publicity over the re-emergence of the elderly writer, made Watchman an instant best seller. It also increased sales for Mockingbird, the perennial classroom classic.

Whatever the merits of Watchman, Mockingbird will be Lee’s legacy, and it is enough.

“The world knows Harper Lee was a brilliant writer but what many don’t know is that she was an extraordinary woman of great joyfulness, humility and kindness. She lived her life the way she wanted to — in private — surrounded by books and the people who loved her.”

HarperCollins publisher Michael Morrison

changed them and changed the country.

“It’s our national novel,” Oprah told Murphy.

Harper Collins publisher Morrison said in a statement that, “The world knows Harper Lee was a brilliant writer but what many don’t know is that she was an extraordinary woman of great joyfulness, humility and kindness.

She lived her life the way she wanted to — in private — surrounded by books and the people who loved her.”

Her agent, Andrew Nurnberg, says knowing Lee was “not just an utter delight but an extraordinary privilege.

“When I saw her just six weeks ago, she was full of life, her mind and mischievous wit as sharp as ever,” Nurnberg said in a statement. “She was quoting Thomas More and setting me straight on Tudor history. We have lost a great writer, a great friend and a beacon of integrity.”

Lee was born Nelle Harper Lee on April 28, 1926, in Monroeville,

the youngest of four children of lawyer Amasa Coleman Lee and Frances Cunningham Finch Lee. She didn’t use the name Nelle — Ellen spelled backwards — for her book because she didn’t want to be called Nellie. But her friends and family always called her Nelle, pronounced Nell.

In addition to being a lawyer, Lee’s father was also a newspaperman and state legislator. (Lee’s oldest sister Alice, who often acted as Lee’s spokeswoman until she died in 2014, became a prominent Alabama lawyer.) Lee’s mother, Frances, was by the time of Lee’s birth showing signs of mental illness . But Alice angrily denied Capote’s claims that her mother had tried to drown Harper at age 2.

Never close to her mother, the tomboyish Lee enjoyed a relationship with her father that resembled the one between Scout and Atticus. And her father encouraged her reading and writing.

Although Mockingbird may read as if it just spooled out of the storyteller, Lee actually struggled with the novel for years in the 1950s while working at menial jobs (airline reservation clerk) in New York. Then some Alabama friends in town gave her a Christmas gift of enough money to quit her job and work full time on the book for a year.

A skilled editor helped her turn a series of stories and vignettes into a seamless whole, encompassing themes such as coming of age, tolerance and empathy, fatherhood and hero worship, and the eccentricities of small-town people. It’s also about racism and incest, murder and injustice, fear and ignorance, and the possibility of redemption.

Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn ranks higher in the esteem of the academics who control the literary canon, and J.D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye was held up as hipper. Other novels have sold more books. But Mockingbird is about something more substantial than wizards and vampires.

Catcher reflected the social change of the 1960s but Mockingbird helped bring about some of those changes, especially in civil rights. What other book has done the same?

Few other authors could say the same, even if Harper Lee recoiled at saying it publicly herself.

in the economy to put this recession behind,” he said.

Maduro, who has blamed problems on the business community, has been reluctant to cut spending on social programs that aid the poor, his biggest supporters.

However, the plunge in world oil prices has caused Venezuela a cash crunch in a year when it faces $14 billion in foreign debt payments.

To cover domestic expenditures, the central bank has flooded the economy with bolivars, which is why inflation is out of control and the value of the currency has plummeted.

To address that, Maduro said Venezuela will now have two foreign exchange rates: 10 bolivars to the dollar for essential food and medicine imports, and a new floating rate that last closed at 200 to the dollar for everything else.

“We just get poorer and poorer,” said William Martinez, 47, a shop owner in the industrial town of La Victoria. “Gasoline was the only bright spot here. And now we don’t even have that.”

and should have “an immediate impact on ISIL’s ability to facilitate its activities in Libya,” said Pentagon press secretary Peter Cook, “including recruiting new ISIL members, establishing bases in Libya and potentially planning external attacks on U.S. interests in the region.”

The Islamic State has gained a foothold in Libya, which has spiraled into chaos since a U.S.backed coalition helped rebels overthrow Moammar Gadhafi’s regime in 2011.

Diplomats have pushed the factions to create a unity government.

The militants took over Gadhafi’s hometown of Sirte last year and have been threatening to take over oil refineries near Sirte.

The United States and its allies have become increasingly concerned about the group’s growing presence near those refineries, which could provide the militant group with another source of revenue and leverage over the weak groups competing for power in the country.

U.S. and international diplomats have pushed the factions to create a unity government, which would provide a more reliable partner on the ground to combat the Islamic State.

The Pentagon, which has placed teams in Libya to get a clearer picture of the situation, said a unified government would provide more opportunities for the United States to provide military assistance to combat militants.

The Obama administration has made clear, however, that it will take action against the militants without waiting for a unified government to form.

“With respect to Libya, I have been clear from the outset that we will go after ISIS wherever it appears, the same way that we went after al-Qaeda wherever they appeared,” President Obama said this month.

GOP field makes last pitches before S.C. vote Trump says he’ll run the table if he wins Saturday’s primary David Jackson USA TODAY

CHARLESTON,

S . C. Republican presidential candidates scrambled across South Carolina on Friday, courting late-deciding voters a day ahead of a pivotal primary.

Donald Trump, looking to follow up last week’s win in New Hampshire and leading polls in the Palmetto State, told voters during stops in coastal cities that a win will send him on to the Republican nomination.

“I didn’t win the personality contest — who cares?” Trump told backers in Myrtle Beach. “I’ll never let you down!”

Trump’s rivals — Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush, John Kas-

ich and Ben Carson — all scrounged for support ahead of the first-in-the-South primary.

Cruz, buoyed by a new poll showing him just five points behind Trump, told supporters in Charleston he is putting together the same kind of coalition that won him the Iowa caucuses on Feb. 1.

A new NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist Poll still gives Trump the lead at 28%, but with the Texas senator narrowing the gap at 23%. They are followed by Rubio (15%), Bush (13%), and Kasich and Carson (both at 9%).

Trump had a 16-point lead in the same poll a month ago. The New York billionaire has told South Carolina voters that a win in their state will enable him to “run the table” in contests.

Opponents contend there is evidence his support is softening.

His rivals say that, after other candidates drop out, they can beat

Trump one-on-one.

Saying he is backed by traditional conservatives, evangelicals, Ronald Reagan Democrats and young people, Cruz said he is reassembling “that old Reagan coalition.”

“The people of South Carolina,” Cruz said, “they want a conservative as the next president.”

Cruz will not be in the state for part of primary day itself — he will fly to Washington to attend the funeral of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. Cruz and the other Republican candidates have made Scalia’s replacement a major campaign issue.

Rubio, a Florida senator, toured the state with high-profile South Carolina supporters, including popular Gov. Nikki Haley.

"This election is a generational choice," the 44-year-old Rubio told supporters gathered at a high school gym in North Charleston.

"The American Dream is slipping

John Kasich, speaking Friday in Columbia, S.C., says he’ll stay in the race regardless of the outcome on Saturday.

away."

Bush, a former governor of Florida, campaigned in the state with his mother, former first lady Barbara Bush. Mrs. Bush, the wife and mother of previous presidents, described Jeb Bush as “steady. He’s honest. He is modest.

He is kind, and he is good.”

Kasich, the Ohio governor who finished second to Trump in New Hampshire, said he will continue his campaign regardless of how he finishes in South Carolina. He is looking toward Midwest primaries in states such as Michigan and Ohio to boost his campaign.

Joking about his standing in South Carolina, Kasich said his expectations once could fit “in a Volkswagen” — but “clearly we’re gonna do better than that; we may be able to put them in a van.”

Carson, a retired neurosurgeon, also said he plans to stay in the race until a gaggle of primaries on March 1, mostly in the South.

What Sanders, Clinton need in Nevada

There’s a simple equation for how a Democrat can win a statewide race here, insiders say Jennifer Jacobs

The Des Moines Register

The outcome of Saturday’s race between Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton is a giant question mark, but the beauty of Nevada is that there is a very simple equation for how a Democrat wins a statewide race here, insiders say.

For Clinton to be victorious in the Nevada caucuses, she needs blacks and Latinos to turn out in numbers like in the 2008 race, and she needs to carry that Las Vegas-based segment of the electorate. She has to make sure she doesn’t get swamped in rural counties like she did running against Barack Obama eight years ago. And although she doesn’t need to dominate Nevada’s other population base — Reno — she needs a decent showing there.

“Our state is a three-pronged approach,” said Leo Murrieta, a Democratic political consultant and Latino activist in Las Vegas who supports Clinton.

Sanders, who didn’t open his first office here until October, three months later than Clinton, must thwart her meticulously planned strategy in those three areas by stoking the last-minute fever of enthusiasm that leftleaning Nevadans are feeling for him, strategists said.

“I feel really good about our chances here,” said Rania Batrice, a spokeswoman for the Sanders campaign, which now has 12 offices in Nevada. “We have a fantastic team on the ground, and they brought in equally amazing volunteers who are not only inspired by Bernie’s message, but they believe change is possible.”

But when Sanders backers voice optimism that the 74-yearold Vermont senator might actually win Nevada, it’s often with a look of wide-eyed wonderment at the twist the race has taken here.

It was a little more than five weeks ago that Clinton’s national campaign manager, Robby Mook, LAS VEGAS

EVAN VUCCI/AP

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders greets supporters at a campaign rally Feb. 13 in Reno. who ran her Nevada campaign eight years ago, told reporters that internal polling showed her with a 25-point lead in Nevada.

Although Nevada polling has been scarce, the 68-year-old for-

mer secretary of State is now just 2 points head of Sanders in a rolling average of polls compiled by RealClearPolitics.com.

“If Bernie wins, the hype machine is going to take off in a real-

ly, really serious way,” said Ed Kilgore, a Democratic analyst and political columnist for New York magazine.

“If Clinton wins,” Kilgore added, “we’re back to the situation where she’s very likely to win South Carolina and most of the states that vote on March 1 — in no small part because of her strength among African Americans, which has slipped a small bit but is still pretty impressive.”

About 74% of Nevada’s active registered Democrats live in Clark County and most of Nevada’s 48.5% non-white population lives in the Vegas area, state elections and 2014 census records show. Minorities and suburban women in the Las Vegas area are key for Clinton, and she’ll need to win by a large enough margin to withstand losses elsewhere, strategists said. One big X-factor is whether black voters will turn out in the same number as in 2008, when Obama was running. Fifteen percent of the caucus electorate then was black.

Clinton supporter Sakina Turner, a middle-school cafeteria worker who will help run the caucus in her Las Vegas neighborhood of 638 registered Democrats, said: “When I talk to my African Americans, they like Hillary, but some of them are coming around for Bernie.”

But it’s Latinos — the largest minority group with 28% of the total population — who might prove the key factor. Clinton beat Obama by a more than 2-to-1 among Latinos in 2008, according to entrance polls. They made up 15% of the caucus electorate.

“I love your enthusiasm! It gets me all pumped up!” Clinton told a couple hundred cheering supporters, mostly Latinos, gathered for a campaign rally outside a labor union hall in east Las Vegas on Thursday night.

Clinton’s campaign aides are the best in the business in Nevada, but it’s one of the hardest states to organize in, strategists said. Las Vegas is on a 24-hour clock, and the prime time for TV ads targeting certain minority voters might be 2 a.m., after they’re done with work. Nevada has more residents per capita in

gated communities than any other battleground state, and it’s often too hot in summer to do door-to-door campaigning, anyway, operatives said.

The tourism-based economy attracts a transient workforce, which means many aren’t yet registered to vote, they added. Of Clinton’s seven Nevada offices, three are in Clark County. She has the backing of almost all the Democrats in the Nevada Legislature, and every member of the Latino caucus except Moises Denis, who is sitting out the presidential race because Republican candidate Marco Rubio is his cousin. But a growing number of minority voters are siding with Sanders, including the Clark County Black Caucus — “which is very exciting,” Batrice said.

If you’re a presidential candidate who wants to win in Nevada, you have to run like you want to be mayor of Las Vegas, political operatives here say.

Nevada’s other main population center is Reno, a recreational area near Lake Tahoe that’s a nine-hour drive or one-hour plane ride from Las Vegas. It’s home to about 16% of the state’s residents, including a big environmentalist community.

Democrats there have a history of progressive politics and antiestablishment thinking – a profile Sanders aides believe favors their candidate. Team Sanders has been investing resources, hoping to run up their score there.

Washoe County is also delegate rich, with 1,962 precinct delegates, though that pales compared to Clark County’s 8,975.

The state’s other 1,422 precinct delegates are in the more rural counties, which account for about 11% of the state’s population. The caucus makeup there is overwhelmingly white — and that could favor Sanders, said Murrieta. In 2008, Clinton won the popular vote in the Nevada caucuses, but Obama edged her in the delegate count — partly due to his success in the rural areas.

IN BRIEF DEAL REACHED TO HEAD OFF BRITISH EXIT FROM EU

The European Union and British Prime Minister David Cameron reached a deal Friday to secure European Union reforms before a referendum on Britain’s membership in the 28-nation alliance.

After two days of intense negotiations, EU President Donald Tusk announced the deal on Twitter late Friday.

Eastern European members of the EU object to proposals made

by Cameron that would restrict access to some social welfare benefits by EU workers living in the United Kingdom. France does not want Britain’s financial industry, with which it competes for business, to be more lightly regulated than its own.

The EU said it would hold a migrants summit with Turkey in March following talks at the meeting. “(The EU-Turkey) joint action plan with Turkey remains a priority, and we must do all we can to succeed,” EU chief Donald Tusk said.

MONEYLINE DEERE BLAMES ECONOMY FOR DECLINING SALES The manufacturer of John Deere equipment on Friday warned that an economic slowdown is taking a bite out of its sales and profit. Deere & Co.’s net income in the fiscal first quarter ended Jan. 31 fell 34% to $254 million and its net revenue fell 13% to $5.5 billion. The company said its 2016 fiscal year sales would fall by 10% and that its profit would fall by $1.3 billion. A deteriorating market in the U.S. and Canada is taking a toll. Equipment sales there fell 18% for the quarter, compared to the same period a year earlier.

CONSUMER PRICES UNCHANGED IN JANUARY Cheap gasoline kept a lid on consumer prices again in January, but a core measure of inflation rose at the sharpest pace in 41⁄2 years. The report indicates persistently low inflation could be poised to accelerate, possibly prodding the Federal Reserve to hike its benchmark interest rate this year more than economists expect. The consumer price index was unchanged last month, the Labor Department said Friday. Economists expected a 0.1% dip. The index was up 1.4% over the past year. Excluding food and gasoline, which are volatile, so-called core inflation rose 0.3%, more than the 0.2% economists expected and the biggest gain since August 2011.

Yahoo move fails to satisfy its critics Formation of panel to seek out buyers may not avert board battle Mike Snider and Kaja Whitehouse USA TODAY

RICHARD DREW, AP

Wall Street traders enjoyed a good week after a rough start to the year.

STOCKS BARELY BUDGE AS OIL DIPS BELOW $30

Yahoo still faces the threat of a board battle this year as shareholders remain unconvinced of Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer’s intentions to actually sell the business.

Yahoo said Friday that it has formed a committee to seek out and engage with potential buyers and partners — a step intended to project to shareholders that it is serious about a sale of its core Web assets such as Yahoo Mail and Yahoo Sports.

Yahoo (YHOO) shares jumped 2.1% to close at $30.04 on Friday, but some shareholders say they remain skeptical.

Adam Shell USA TODAY

Stocks, perhaps a little winded by a massive rally earlier in the week, turned in an uninspiring showing Friday as investors reacted to softer oil prices and digested a fresh reading on inflation at the consumer level that could influence interest-rate policy.

But that couldn’t spoil the stock market’s best weekly performance yet in 2016.

Boring trading session doesn’t take away from Wall Street’s best week of 2016

terest-rate policy, as a big reason the nation’s central bank has been holding off on more interest-rate hikes is due to still-weak inflation readings.

“This CPI report will feed into the Fed’s inflation concerns and will cause the Street to lift the probability of a March rate hike,” Steven Ricchiuto, chief economist at Mizuho Securities USA, told clients in a report.

Investors were also paying attention to falling crude prices, as oil prices and stock prices continue to move in the same direction. Friday, the price of a barrel of U.S.-produced crude was back below the key $30 mark. Oil finished down 3.7% to $29.64 a barrel but was virtually flat for the week.

But as welcome as Wall Street’s charge back from the brink was, the scars of the market’s worst start ever to a year still run deep.

The Nasdaq is down 13.7% from its high last year, 10% in the hole for 2016. The Dow is down 10.5% from its high and 5.9% for 2016.

The S&P 500 is the relative bright spot. Although its 6.2% loss for 2016 is slightly bigger than the Dow’s, the market benchmark is down a hair less than 10% from its high, meaning it is the only one of the big three U.S. indexes that is not in correction territory, considered to be a drop of 10% or more.

Wall Street seems to be in waitand-see mode following the big relief rally.

“They are still guilty until proven innocent in my eyes,” said Eric Jackson, managing director of investment firm SpringOwl, which is a Yahoo shareholder.

Meanwhile, activist hedge fund Starboard Value is still prepared to nominate an opposing slate of candidates to the board at the end of March, according to two people who have direct knowledge of the hedge fund’s activities but were not authorized to talk about them on the record.

Starboard CEO Jeff Smith, who has been pushing for a sale of Yahoo’s core Internet assets since last year, is unlikely to back down from a fight unless Yahoo adds some of his candidates to the board, these people said.

This month, Mayer announced a departure from her previous ambitions to grow the company through spending and outlined a $400 million cost-cutting plan to simplify the company and reduce Yahoo’s staff by about 15%.

But some shareholders have continued to push for a sale of the company’s core Web assets in addition to its planned spinoff of its 15% stake in Chinese Internet conglomerate Alibaba, valued at about $25 billion. Yahoo will be better able to compete if it joins forces with a larger company, like Verizon, critics have argued.

SpringOwl is also preparing for a possible proxy battle and would consider supporting Starboard’s or another shareholder’s nominations.

“I expect we are all going to rally around one person leading (the fight),” Jackson said. “We want to see changes made at Yahoo and want to see the stock price go up.” Yahoo’s entire board is up for re-election this summer.

Tech industry slowly rallies behind Apple in privacy fight Jessica Guynn USA TODAY

The U.S. technology industry is lining up behind Apple over its refusal to help the FBI break into the iPhone used by one of the terrorists in December’s San Bernardino massacre — albeit cautiously.

Jan Dawson, chief analyst with Jackdaw Research, says statements of public support from major tech firms have been guarded and “somewhat lukewarm.”

Google and Facebook did voice public support for Apple more forcefully and swiftly than Microsoft, Yahoo and Twitter.

Some may be trying to avoid scrutiny, fearing the same recriminations and loss of trust that folSAN FRANCISCO

lowed Edward Snowden’s revelations that major tech and telecom companies had secretly given the U.S. government vast amounts of consumer data, said longtime Silicon Valley futurist Paul Saffo.

“What took them so long? The longer they waited, the less credit they get. The smart thing was to say not just ‘yeah, we support them’ but ‘hell yeah, we support them,’ ” Saffo said.

The U.S. government went back to court Friday in an attempt to force Apple to comply with a court order directing the company to assist the FBI in unlocking the iPhone used by one of the assailants in the December mass shootings in San Bernardino, Calif., that killed 14 people.

A federal judge ordered Apple

DAVID PAUL MORRIS, BLOOMBERG

Apple CEO Tim Cook says he won’t comply with the order.

to bypass security functions on the iPhone, igniting a battle between the Obama administration and Apple, with the world’s most

valuable company declaring it would not comply with the order to hack into the phone.

Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google, was the first head of a major tech company to side with Apple, saying in a series of tweets Wednesday that “forcing companies to enable hacking could compromise users’ privacy” and would set a “troubling precedent.”

Facebook followed with more forceful language Thursday, warning of a “chilling precedent” and pledging to “fight aggressively” against government efforts to “weaken the security” of consumer tech products.

CEO Jack Dorsey tweeted Twitter’s support, later on Thursday: “We stand with @tim_cook and Apple (and thank him for his leadership)!”

Microsoft and Yahoo initially referred reporters to written statements from industry trade groups. Wednesday, Microsoft’s president and chief legal officer Brad Smith tweeted a link to a trade group statement, saying “essential to have broad public discussion on these important issues.”

Late Thursday Smith made a stronger statement: “In a world where we need to keep both the public safe and privacy rights secure, backdoors take us backwards.”

Yahoo’s chief information security officer Bob Lord on Friday said on Twitter: “Ordering a company to hack one targeted system is clearly the first step to ordering them to backdoor them all. #slipperySlope #usersfirst.”

AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY

At the height of the stock market panic of 2016 was a nagging fear that the U.S. economy was going to be dragged into recession by problems in China, pain in the oil patch and paper losses in financial markets.

But fears of the big “R” may have been exaggerated by investors still psychologically scarred from the Great Recession in 2008. In the past week betterthan-expected January readings on retail sales, industrial production, manufacturing in the Philadelphia region and inflation at both the wholesale and consumer level all tell a story of an economy in slow-growth mode, not contraction mode.

Q: Are investment fees a scam?

Matt Krantz

A: Investment fees can either be a legitimate and reasonable price to get access to the markets — or one of the biggest enemies to your wealth. It depends on the kinds of fees you’re paying.

One of the most common investment fees are those connected with mutual funds. The average stock mutual fund charges investors roughly 1% of assets as an annual fee. That means if you have $1,000 invested in a stock mutual fund, if you’re like most people, you’re paying $10 a year in investment fees.

Mutual fund fees serve as a baseline to compare other investment fees you might pay. Investment fees can get suspect if they get larger than 1%.

You need to understand exactly what you’re getting in exchange if you pay more than average. If you have access to a financial planner — who provides value to you — that service could be worth more. But if your investment professional is simply picking stocks that track or even underperform the Standard & Poor’s 500, you want to look elsewhere.

In fact, if you’re investing in the S&P 500, your fees should be much lower than 1%. Vanguard funds that track the S&P 500 charge about 0.1%.

Fees should also be clearly disclosed and easy to understand. If they’re not, be suspicious.

Three key executives exit in shakeup at troubled SeaWorld Nathan Bomey USA TODAY

Embattled amusement-park operator SeaWorld Entertainment on Friday announced a shakeup in its executive team amid its efforts to overhaul its business and boost attendance following public and regulatory pressure over its treatment of killer whales.

The moves include the departures of the company’s chief parks operations officer, chief zoo logical officer and San Antonio park director.

MIKE AGUILERA, SEAWORLD SAN DIEGO

SeaWorld San Diego, the oldest of the SeaWolrd parks, has seen 155 million visitors pass through its gates since it opened in 1964.

A 2013 documentary raised questions about the company’s treatment of orcas and their in-

teractions with trainers at the company’s parks. More recently, there have been reports of four animal deaths at its San Antonio park since last summer, including a 12-year-old dolphin that died two weeks ago.

On Friday, shares of SeaWorld rose 13 cents to close at $19.01.

Shares have traded between $16.86 and $22.68 the past year.

The changes include: uDaniel Brown, the chief of parks operations, is retiring. San Diego park President John Reilly will ascend to that position. Marilyn Hannes, who was vice president of global sales, will become

president of the San Diego park. uBrad Andrews, the chief zoological officer, will become zoological director emeritus. The company’s vice president of veterinary services, Chris Dold, will become chief zoological officer.

Andrews will continue to advise the company in his new role. uSan Antonio park President Dan Decker is leaving the company and will be succeeded by Carl Lum, the Busch Gardens Williamsburg and Water Country USA park president.

“These leaders bring to their new roles an extraordinary depth of knowledge and talent and the

right expertise to deliver on our strategic priorities,” SeaWorld CEO Joel Manby said in a statement.

Aimée Jeansonne Becka, spokesperson for the publicly traded Orlando, Fla.-based company (SEAS), said the company would not comment further.

Last fall, SeaWorld said it would end killer-whale shows at its San Diego property following public scrutiny and regulatory pressure.

The California Coastal Commission has refused to give the company permission to breed killer whales.

IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY WHO’S CELEBRATING TODAY?

The road-trip format brings Pee-wee into comedic situations — including enjoying a root-beer barrel.

Pee-wee takes a road-trip ‘Holiday’ Our favorite man-child is back with a new movie and some special friends

Bryan Alexander USA TODAY

Pee-wee Herman, his trademark laugh and that too-small plaid suit are back in Pee-wee’s Big Holiday.

Paul Reubens’ man-child creation is hitting the road again in an original Netflix movie that premieres March 18 (with a limited release in theaters), more than 30 years after Pee-wee hitchhiked to Texas to find his stolen red bike in 1985’s Pee-wee’s Big Adventure.

This time, Pee-wee is spurred on to leave his comfortable home and travel cross-country solo after befriending a super-cool stranger (Joe Manganiello) who lives in New York City.

Director John Lee says the road-trip format brings Pee-wee into absurd, comedic situations — from tacky snake farms to living among the Amish — without much of a plot.

“It always seems best when

Pee-wee has very little plot — his movies probably have the least plot in the history of cinema,” Lee says. “Why not embrace that?”

Reubens, 63, has been looking for proper vehicles to bring Peewee to the 21st century. He started with The Pee-wee Herman Show, which triumphed on Broadway in 2010.

Producer Judd Apatow worked his way backstage when the live show opened in Los Angeles and showed an early Polaroid of himself and Pee-wee as proof of his fandom.

Apatow “was this fan, and he wanted to bring Pee-wee back,” Reubens says. “He was key to the return. And he wanted to do a road movie, something that was a nod toward Big Adventure.”

Costume designers created new Pee-wee suits, matching the original glen-plaid number Reubens wore in a 1981 HBO special and subsequent five-year CBS run of Pee-wee’s Playhouse, which led to 22 Emmys.

In 2016, Reubens still looks

the part onscreen. He thanks “good genes” and cops to plenty of “Hollywood magic” — from makeup to post-production work — to keep the character intact.

The new friendship is a core component in the story. Reubens says that after receiving a green light for the film, he immediately secured his true-life friend Manganiello, whom he had met cute at a party years before.

“Literally every single person at this party was freaking out that Joe was there, hundreds of people,” Reubens says. “In this huge party, it turns out Joe was heading over toward me. He was like: ‘Dude! Oh, my God. I love you.’ ” The onscreen friendship plays off the physical dynamics of the skinny, 5-10 Reubens and the super-masculine, 6-5 Magic Mike star. But Reubens says the two are genuinely kindred spirits.

“You want to not like (Manganiello) in a certain way. He’s, like, pretty close to being perfect,” Reubens says.

“But he and his wife (Sofia Vergara) together are the dorkiest, nerdiest people. It’s just hilarious.

People don’t get to see that side of him.”

Fans expect and hope for that side of Pee-wee Herman onscreen, which is why Lee believes it was time to bring him back.

“Pee-wee is a prankster — there’s a little bit of Peter Pan in there,” Lee says. “Pee-wee is universally loved because being an adult is actually fairly boring.

Once there’s responsibility, it’s a snorefest.”

Three weeks ago, many Kanye West fans scratched their heads when the rap icon declared, in one of his typically scattershot Twitter rants, that his new REVIEW album is “actually a PATRICK gospel album.”

RYAN But what seemed like a left-field pronouncement comes blatantly into focus in the opening notes of Ultralight Beam, the first song off West’s intoxicating The Life of Pablo (eeeg out of four).

Backed by a church organ and choir, and sampling a devil-spurning prayer by 4-year-old Instagram personality @SheIsNatalie, Beam begins in the midst of a “God dream” as West mulls his faith and asks for peace, serenity and prayers for Paris.

The-Dream and Kelly Price chime in with rousing vocals, but it’s Chance the Rapper who walks away with an album-best verse, deftly dropping references to everything from Sia to kids’ show Arthur in his fervent, freewheeling manner.

Beam sets the tone for the rest of Pablo, streaming exclusively on Tidal for one week before hitting retailers. Marrying the soulful introspection of his 2010 masterpiece My Beautiful Dark Twisted

Fantasy with the taut production of his brash 2013 effort Yeezus, West has never been more reflective nor more cocksure than on this loosely structured seventh album, which finds him at the peak of his power.

On the deceptively catchy Father Stretch My Hands Pts. 1 and 2, West gets deeply personal singing over throbbing 808s: recalling failed relationships, his mother’s death and how he won’t make the same mistakes as his work-consumed father, who walked out on the family when West was 3.

The rapper is equally vulnerable on the wistful Real Friends, with Ty Dolla $ign, and the mercurial FML, featuring The Weeknd. The latter is a gloomy ode in which he pledges his devotion to Kim Kardashian West and rails against a disparaging media. (“They don’t wanna see me love you,” he warbles through a hazy wash of Auto-Tune.)

He also is winningly self-aware.

“I’ve been outta my mind a long time,” he playfully announces on the wonky Feedback, calling himself “Steve Jobs mixed with Steve Austin” and the “ghetto Oprah,” and later heralding his own singularity as an artist on acoustic

interlude I Love Kanye (“I love you like Kanye loves Kanye,” he concludes with a laugh).

Rihanna (Famous), Frank Ocean (Wolves) and Chris Brown (Waves) deliver some of the most memorable spots on the 18-song album, padded with bonus tracks

after its launch at Madison Square Garden, which gives the record a more strung-together feel than his narratively cohesive Fantasy.

If Pablo stumbles, it’s in West’s tone-deaf digs at others: knocking Rob Kardashian for his weight; his wife’s ex-boyfriend Ray J for his wealth (or lack thereof ); and Taylor Swift, whom he suggests should have sex with him, after he “made that (expletive) famous” with his stage crash at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. These particular jabs are lazy at best and misogynistic at worst — showing a less-evolved artist than the rest of Pablo lets on.

Pablo doesn’t carry the weight of Kendrick Lamar’s racially charged To Pimp A Butterfly (he shows up here on No More Parties in L.A.), nor does it have the Internet-stopping gravitas of Beyoncé’s #BlackLivesMatter call-to-arms Formation.

And while it may not deliver on West’s promise of being “the album of the life,” it’s undeniably the work of one of music’s most boundary-pushing artists and will give fans plenty to unpack until West’s next feverishly anticipated release.

Secondary issues dominate KU-KSU

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Top 10 in ratings no place for safety this year The kiss of death, otherwise known as a top-10 ranking in the Associated Press college basketball poll, smacks louder than ever this week.

No. 1 Villanova and No. 2 Kansas are on a roll, but the next four schools in the rankings (Oklahoma, Iowa, North Carolina and Maryland) have combined for an 0-4 record this week. Plus, No. 10 West Virginia lost to Texas.

The difference between the top 10 and the next 10 feels smaller than ever, which leads to the temptation to believe that the national champion this season could come from a Cinderella school.

Not so fast. A closer look indicates quite the opposite.

Unlike a month ago, when Oklahoma State was blasting Kansas and Duke was losing four times in a five-game span, this is shaping up as the year of the blue blood.

Among Big 12 schools, KU has won six in a row.

Oklahoma has lost three of four, West Virginia two of three.

In the SEC, Kentucky has won four in a row, all by double digits, and Texas A&M recently faded from prominence with a fourgame losing streak.

In the Pac-12, Arizona has moved into first place with a six-game winning streak, taking advantage of Oregon’s empty two-game trip to the Bay Area.

Michigan State’s footsteps, used for stumbling early in the Big Ten schedule, are growing louder by the minute. The Spartans have won six of seven. Heading in the opposite direction, Iowa has lost two of three, Maryland two in a row.

In the ACC, No. 11 Miami, coached by Jim Larranaga (Final Four with George Mason in 2006), is hanging tough with a five-game winning streak. So is No. 7 Virginia, winner of eight of nine. Yet, when the time arrives to fill out brackets, North Carolina and Duke will appear in the Final Four in far more office pools than any other ACC schools.

(Don’t forget, Louisville self-imposed a ban from this year’s tournament, thanks to what has become known as the “friends with impermissible benefits” scandal.)

Anyway, KU’s resurgence has started at the defensive end of the floor.

“I’m not going to say we’ve become good defensively because I don’t see it yet,” Bill Self said. “I think that we’ve improved in some areas, but we’re up and down, just like we are offensively. There’s times that offensively we look like we score easy, and there’s times it looks like we can’t get a shot. I think it’s that way for all teams across America.”

Up and down is the perfect way to describe the path most schools take in the national rankings.

Lately, though, more blue bloods are heading up than down.

Manhattan — Several items that have nothing to do with the X’s and O’s of basketball have dominated the conversation entering today’s 5 p.m. Sunflower Showdown between No. 2-ranked Kansas University (22-4, 10-3) and Kansas State (15-11, 4-9) in Bramlage Coliseum. n K-State senior Justin Edwards tells the Wichita

Eagle the Wildcats “want to get back at them (Jayhawks)” in retaliation for KU junior Brannen Greene flushing an unguarded dunk before the final buzzer sounded in KU’s 77-59 win over KSU on Feb. 3 in Allen Fieldhouse. n Edwards and junior Wesley Iwundu have, in quotes printed by the Eagle, encouraged fans to storm the court if the Wildcats win. That’s despite the fact KSU was disciplined by the

Big 12 for a court-storming incident against KU last year in which a Wildcat student plowed into KU’s Jamari Traylor and was cited by police for disorderly conduct.

Asking for court storming also is in direct conflict with KSU administration, which warned students they would be prosecuted if they stormed following a recent win over Oklahoma. They did not. n KSU students today will display K-State Colle-

gian posters with an image of the Starship Enterprise. It mocks the situation in which KSU’s band allegedly drew up a formation at a KSU football game in which a Jayhawk performed a sexual act. It ended up with KSU paying a fine to the Big 12 office for poor sportsmanship.

Regarding the hottest topic — court storming (a sports writer had his leg broken in an incident at Iowa

Lawrence High senior Price Morgan picked a heck of a way to make up for his only miss in 11 attempts during Friday’s 82-69 victory over Olathe North at LHS. With the Lions building their lead and in complete control late in the third quar-

ter, O-North’s Alonzo Williams misfired on a threepoint attempt that would have cut the LHS lead to 11.

The miss grazed off the front of the rim and fell into the hands of LHS guard Justin Roberts, who, almost in one motion, caught it and flung it down the floor to a streaking Morgan.

Behind the O-North de-

fense and with nothing but open court between him and the rim, Morgan measured his steps and then hammered home a one-handed jam from the right side that put the Lions (16-2) up 58-42.

To Morgan, it was just another way to “help the team get the win.” To everyone else in the gym, it provided a reason to celebrate.

On a night when the LHS regulars seemed locked in from the start, Morgan led the Lions to a bounce-back victory that erased the sour taste of Tuesday’s loss at Shawnee Mission North.

“Shawnee Mission North kind of tripped us up,” Morgan admitted. “And even Please see LHS BOYS, page 3C

LAWRENCE HIGH’S CHISOM AJEKWU, right, makes a move to the basket against Olathe North’s Brooklynn Anderson. The Lions won, 67-37, on Friday night at LHS.

Heading into Friday night’s match-up with Olathe North at Lawrence High, the LHS girls basketball team had a decision to make — pound it inside, where the Lions enjoyed a significant size advantage, or stay on the perimeter and bomb away from the outside.

Instead of choosing, the Lions did both.

Led by 14 points, seven rebounds and five blocks by freshman forward Chisom

Ajekwu, the Lions routed the Eagles, 67-37, outscoring O-North 41-19 in the second half.

“It really took off in the third quarter,” said Ajekwu, who during that frame had a sequence in which she blocked back-to-back shot attempts by Olathe North’s Brooklynn Anderson, ripped the rebound out of the air and pushed it ahead to a racing E’lease Stafford (14 points), who finished an easy layup on the other end to put the Lions (9-9) up 3520.

“Coming out strong in the

third quarter is especially important to our team,” said fellow freshman Hannah Stewart, who finished with six points on two threepointers. “When we come out dead, things don’t usually go our way. But when we come out with energy like we did tonight, things usually do.”

The 6-foot-3 Ajekwu made her first three shots and final four, all within inches of the basket. LHS coach Jeff Dickson said getting the team’s best post Please see LHS GIRLS, page 3C

Cold spell costly for FSHS boys

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Olathe — Playing against a motivated group of Olathe East seniors on Friday, Free State High’s boys basketball team had little room for error.

One bad stretch in the second half cost the Firebirds in a 68-61 loss on Olathe East’s Senior Night.

In the third quarter, the Firebirds went scoreless for nearly four minutes, turning the ball over in three straight possessions. The sixth-ranked Hawks (14-4, 6-3 in the Sunflower League) took full advantage with an 11-0 run, highlighted by layup-and-the-foul buckets from Div. I-bound seniors Josiah Talbert (Liberty University) and Cameron Hunter (North Dakota State).

In the run, which ended when Free State junior Shannon Cordes made a free throw, Free State saw its five-point lead turn into a 42-36 deficit.

The Firebirds never led again.

“I thought we kind of panicked a little bit,” FSHS coach Sam Stroh said. “We needed a little composure. We talked about that. But I liked the way we responded. …

That’s the best I’ve seen Olathe East all season.

There’s a reason they were preseason (ranked) No. 1.”

Throughout the fourth quarter, the never-quit Firebirds (13-5, 6-3 in the Sunflower League) were one shot away from tying the game. But their potential game-tying or go-ahead shots wouldn’t drop, and they couldn’t find critical stops on defense.

Olathe East, which had lost at home by 21 points to Olathe North last week, refused to let the Firebirds play spoiler to its 10 seniors — the only players who stepped on the court. The Hawks went 11-of-13 at the freethrow line in the final 31⁄2 minutes.

“We played really well for about 29 minutes,” said FSHS junior Jay Dineen, who had eight points and eight rebounds. “We let the last couple of minutes get away from us. We just need to go in and handle adversity, especially with a crowd like that and a team like that.”

The Firebirds will travel to William Chrisman (Mo.) for their final non-league game at 3 p.m. today.

Olathe — Free State High’s girls basketball players wanted to keep Olathe East’s post players from scoring in the paint Friday.

The Firebirds successfully executed their game plan. They just weren’t expecting the Hawks to heat up from three-point range and show off basketball’s version of Murphy’s Law. The Hawks drilled six triples in the third quarter — including four in a row — to beat the Firebirds, 58-51, in a battle of two highly ranked teams at Olathe East.

The sixth-ranked Firebirds (12-6, 5-4 in the Sunflower League) watched a nine-point lead disappear in a two-minute stretch when Olathe East sophomore Sydney Wilson

Zenger: KU positioned to replace assistants

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Never one to get too involved with any of the sports he oversees, Kansas University athletic director Sheahon Zenger told the Journal-World on Friday he was not worried about the recent rash of departures from second-year football coach David Beaty’s staff.

In the past couple of months, four full-time assistants on Beaty’s first KU staff left Lawrence for other opportunities, with three of them — running-backs coach Reggie Mitchell to Arkansas, wide-receivers coach Klint Kubiak to the Den-

State this season) — KSU’s Iwundu told the Eagle: “We are definitely looking forward to that. Why not have fun with it? This is college basketball and that is part of college basketball. We want to see the court storm happen.”

Noted coach Bruce Weber to the Eagle: “Our security is beefed up. If it happens, we will be much better prepared and we won’t have any problems with it. I just hope they come and cheer and have fun and we can play at a high level and they are a factor in the game.”

To prevent a court storm today, the Jayhawks must win in Bramlage for the first time in three seasons. KU is 23-4 in the building throughout history.

“It’s a great crowd, very active, loud, but I don’t know if it’s a building as much as it is the players that have been playing in it,” KU coach Bill Self said. “I think their crowd gives their players a lot of confidence, a lot of energy, just like our crowd does, and I think we’ve caught them the last couple of years when they’ve been really good. They play very well and totally deserved the outcome that they got.

“The biggest thing is we’ve got to focus in on not letting them play well and doing something to keep them from playing well, and we can do that on both ends if we play well,” Self added. “Going into it with a mindset to attack them as opposed to letting the intangibles be a factor in the game.”

K-State outrebounded KU, 36-21, in the game in Allen.

“Their effort on the glass was far better than ours,” Self said. Forward Stephen Hurt led the way with 11 boards and 14 points. “We’ve got to be much more active, try harder and be a little bit more focused.”

All in sold-out Bramlage.

“The past two years, we’ve come up short there. This year we’re going to try to change it,” said KU junior Wayne Selden Jr., who had seven points in the first meeting. Perry Ellis had 19. “If you haven’t been able to do something, you always want to accomplish it.

ver Broncos and specialteams coordinator Gary Hyman to Indiana State — shipping out in the past week.

That trio followed linebackers coach Kevin Kane out the door, a little more than a month after the former KU player left to become the defensive coordinator at Northern Illinois.

While saying goodbye to four full-time coaches never would be construed as a good thing, Zenger said he believed the departures could open the door for Beaty to build an even stronger staff heading into Year Two. “I told coach Beaty when I first hired him

that it’s been my experience at other programs that were rebuilding that so often your third year is your best staff because you’ve had people leave and other people come in who want to make a commitment to that program,” Zenger said. “For instance, when guys like Jim Leavitt, Mark Mangino and Mike Stoops joined (K-State) coach (Bill) Snyder’s staff in Year Two or Three, that worked out pretty well for that program and for their individual careers.”

Perhaps more importantly, Zenger said his mind was at ease because he believed KU was not to blame for any of the

Jayhawks for a cure: Each season, Kansas honors individuals whose lives have been affected by breast cancer and all cancer through its ‘Jayhawks For a Cure’ game. All 15 Jayhawk warm-up tops, one for each player, will represent a person in the fight with cancer or honor a life that lost their battle with cancer.

Beaty ranks 10th among Big 12 head football coaches at $800,000 per year.

Added Zenger, when asked specifically if he thought money played a role in any of the recent coaching losses: “When necessary, we counteroffer to keep the guys we want to keep.”

So far at least, the departure of four of KU’s position coaches has not had a negative impact on KU’s recruiting. For starters, Beaty said co-defensive coordinator/cornerbacks coach Kenny Perry, who now also wears the hat of KU recruiting coordinator, already was heavily involved in over-

seeing KU’s recruiting efforts.

Beyond that, several members of the 2016 class and targets in the 2017 class already have had a chance to meet and get to know newly hired linebackers coach Todd Bradford and wide-receivers coach Jason Phillips.

Said top-rated 2016 recruit Maciah Long, a linebacker from Houston: “At first, I didn’t really know too much about coach Bradford, but after meeting him and getting to spend some time with him, I was like, ‘Coach Bradford’s my guy. I’m ready to go to work for that man.’”

departures. As was the case when Beaty put together his staff in the first place, Zenger said the KU coach remains fully aware that the resources are in place to fill the assistant-coaching positions with whomever he believes is necessary.

“I think I’ve made it clear in the past that we have a major commitment to football,” Zenger said. “Our salary comparisons, through our human resource office, show that what we pay our assistant coaches and support staff for football ranks third in the Big 12 Conference.”

That standing helps balance out the fact that
