Woman to stand trial for 2014 killing

A WORKER SORTS THROUGH A LARGE HEAP OF RECYCLING MATERIALS FOR PIECES OF TRASH and other larger recycling items, such as a plastic bucket, that need to be removed before being scooped up with a loader and dumped into a complex sorting machine on Wednesday at the Hamm recycling facility, 26195 Linwood Road.

Noncompliance in Lawrence recycling system creating trash

By Nikki Wentling • Twitter: @nikkiwentling things, like windshield

A

half-dozen sorters — human, not robotic — plucked garbage Wednesday from among the recyclables moving along a conveyor belt inside the Hamm Material Recovery Facility, where Lawrence’s recycling goes to be separated, smashed and shipped.

The trash — a mix of Styrofoam, small pill contain-

ers, plastic bags and other materials the facility can’t recycle — was tossed down chutes and landed in heaps that would eventually be taken to the Hamm landfill.

“We’re looking for plastic bags. We’re looking for trash, polystyrene, all linear things like pencils, pens,” said Charlie Sedlock, a division manager for Hamm. “And oddball

wipers. You’ll see he just threw down some yellow strapping tape.”

The heaps of garbage were among the other, separated mounds of newspaper, plastic bottles and cans, though Sedlock said the trash piles took much longer to accumulate than the recyclables. After about a week or two, the trash is taken to the landfill.

The scene highlighted a

hiccup in the city’s yearold, single-stream recycling program: people aren’t always complying with the rules about what goes into it. And that means — especially at places like apartment complexes and downtown — the contents of entire recycling bins are sometimes being taken to the landfill because of the actions of a few.

More than a year and a half after a Lawrence woman was slain in her New York Street home, the woman who police say is responsible will stand trial.

A first-degree murder charge was filed against Angelica Kulp, 39, on Tuesday, and she is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on Kaplan Feb. 23.

According to a criminal complaint filed in Douglas County District Court, Kulp is accused of killing Christine Kaplan on July 22, 2014, intentionally and with Kulp premeditation.

Kaplan was found dead in her home in the 1100 block of New York Street on July 26, 2014. Kulp is being charged with first-degree murder in connection with Kaplan’s death.

Kaplan, 56, was found dead in

Kobach: ACLU, League of Women Voters are ‘communists’

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

The Kansas Republican Party held firm to its hard-right stance on social issues during its state convention this weekend as various officials gave speeches railing against Planned Parenthood, same-sex marriage, the Kansas Supreme

Court, the Obama administration and even the League of Women Voters.

The convention came just two weeks before Republican voters in the state will vote in the March 5 caucuses to make their choice for a presidential nominee. And while some of the presidential campaigns sent surrogates to speak on their behalf, the real focus

William Joseph Dixon Died February 13, 2016 after a long illness. Memorial service to be announce at a later date.

Charles Wilbur “ChuCk” hedges Charles Wilbur “Chuck” Hedges passed away peacefully on Sunday February 7, 2016 at Pioneer Ridge in Lawrence, KS. He was born in Courtland, Kansas, population near 430, on February, 26, 1935. The son of Wilbur and Anne (Holtberg) Hedges, he had three older sisters, Betty, Joyce, and Shirley.

He graduated second in his high school class, but as he liked to say, was not in the top ten percent. There were nine students in his senior class. Chuck attended the University of Kansas where he was a member of the Delta Upsilon fraternity, making him a life-long Jayhawk fan.

After graduating from the University of Kansas School of Law, he turned to real estate, and eventually founded Hedges Real Estate and Insurance, which grew into two separate businesses. He loved working in the real estate and insurance businesses and he truly appreciated the many co-workers and customers over the years.

He was elected President of The Lawrence Board of Realtors and ultimately received the honor of Distinguished Service Award from the Lawrence Board of Realtors. Some of his other civic activities included being President of The Optimist Club, President of the Lawrence Country Club Board of Directors, serving as a member of the Lawrence Parks and Recreation Board, and attending the First United Methodist Church.

In 1956 he married a Lawrence girl, Yvonne Richardson.

Together they had four children, Laura, Scott, Blake, and Bryan, who became the focus of their lives.

In addition to raising their kids and growing their businesses, Chuck and Yvonne enjoyed traveling and spending winters in Texas. They loved playing golf, cards, bridge, and enjoyed the many friends made while playing. Chuck ultimately earned his Life Master in Duplicate Bridge.

Chuck enjoyed sailing, boating, skiing, fishing, playing racquetball, hunting quail and pheasant, coaching Hillbillies youth football, helping the Aquahawks swim teams, and eating cookies and ice cream.

He loved to play games, tell jokes, laugh, and make others laugh. His cabin at Lone Star Lake was the site of many

memories with family and friends. Even when slowed by Parkinson’s disease, Chuck never lost his sense of humor, often catching his caregivers by surprise with his quick wit. For more than 30 years, he was Grandpa or Pop. He leaves twelve grandchildren and one great-grandchild with another great-grandchild on the way, and many nieces and nephews. He loved spending time with family and attending their activities.

Chuck was preceded in death by his parents and his sister Betty.

He is survived by his wife and companion of nearly 60 years, Yvonne; his sisters Joyce and Shirley, his daughter Laura and husband Frank Burney of San Antonio, Texas, their son Christopher and wife Elizabeth and their daughter Bennett, and daughters Kara, and Charlotte; Scott Hedges and wife Paula, and children Anna, Kayla and Michael; Blake Hedges and wife Kristin and children Apryl, Dylan, Isabella, and Jake; Bryan Hedges and his wife Laura, and their children, Faith and Will.

The Hedges Family would like to sincerely thank all those friends, medical professionals, and caregivers who helped Chuck throughout his life and in recent years and especially to those at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, Pioneer Ridge, and Grace Hospice in recent months.

A celebration of life and memorial service is scheduled for Saturday, February 27, 2016 at 3 p.m. at the First United Methodist Church, 946 Vermont Street, Lawrence KS. The family suggests gifts in honor of Charles W. Hedges to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research care of Rumsey-Yost Funeral Home or at Michaeljfox.org/ foundation.

Readers opposed to new gun range

On the right track

T

hough participants in our latest LJWorld.com survey were split on whether a gun range in the Lawrence Community Building should’ve been closed, it was clear that many were against another gun range opening in the city.

The recent contention surrounding a Lawrence businessman’s plan to open a gun range either near 31st and Haskell or at The Malls shopping center at Louisiana and 23rd Street led to the shutdown last week of the gun range in the Community Building basement.

Adult education program enrollment Student leaders set to vote on Kansan funds lowest in 5 years

Kansas University’s student newspaper will learn this week whether slashed funding — which cost the newspaper staff positions and sparked a lawsuit — will be restored for the coming school year.

The KU Student Senate is scheduled to vote Wednesday on required student fees for 2016-17, including the amount of money to be allocated to The University Daily Kansan.

Going into the meeting, the rec-

Effects on pending lawsuit unclear

ommendation is to bring the Kansan’s funding back up to where it was two years ago, before the Student Senate cut it in half for the current school year. The cut amounted to about $45,000.

The Kansan’s other, and larger, funding source is advertising revenue.

The Senate’s Finance Committee met and voted last week to increase the Kansan fee from $1 to $2, Senate Communications Coor-

dinator Isaac Bahney said.

“Representatives from the Kansan were present and explained that the increase is needed to fund a second adviser position and also to help restore student positions that were cut last year,” Bahney said.

Jon Schlitt, the Kansan’s sales and marketing adviser, has served double-duty as its news adviser this year.

saying how getting back lost funding might affect that lawsuit.

For now, Schlitt said, “restoration of the Kansan fee to $2 I would view as an important step toward resolving the whole situation.”

On Feb. 5, Kansan Editor-in-Chief Vicky DiazCamacho and former Editor-in-Chief Katie Kutsko sued Gray-Little and Durham, alleging that by approving the 2015-16 fees they allowed the Student Senate to illegally cut the newspaper’s funding based on its content, creating a chilling effect on its “expression of First Amendment-protected speech.” Kutsko currently works as an intern for Sunflower Publishing, which, along with the Journal-World, is owned

of respondents said they wouldn’t support the plan for one. The remaining respondents were almost split: 26.1 percent answered that they would support a plan for a new gun range, and 22.8 percent said they were not sure. The margins of error for the results were 2.5 to 3.1 percentage points.

The crux of the debate is the proximity of the gun ranges to schools.

The Lawrence School

Board has voiced its opposition to the proposal for a gun range at 1021 East 31st St., which is approximately 700 feet from the Lawrence College and Career Center. The school board brought up the federal Gun Free School Zones Act, which prohibits anyone from possessing a firearm within 1,000 feet of a school.

Because it would be on private property, the new gun range would be

exempt from the law. But when that conversation arose, it was discovered the gun range inside the Community Building, on public property, violated the law because it was between 500 and 700 feet from St. John’s School.

The city is still working to determine where the new gun range will be located. The City Commission has to decide soon whether to approve the 31st Street location or deny it, leaving the businessman to his alternative location at The Malls (which doesn’t need City Commission approval because it’s already zoned for a gun range).

It’s unclear why some respondents were opposed to both closing the gun range in the basement of the Community Building and opening a new gun range off 31st Street, which is a mostly industrial area.

However, the target population has declined over the years nationally and in Kansas, she said. For example, many adults who lack high school diplomas are of the older generation.

Kansas Adult Education describes its programs as “the first step in a career pathways system that meets the demands of the Kansas workforce for high skills and the needs of Kansas workers for high wages.” Instruction aims to improve quality of life and prepare adults for “industry recognized credentials and college certificates.”

The Kansas Adult Education programs overseen by the Regents are those

receiving federal and state funding under the Adult Education and Family Literacy Act, or Title II of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, Fish said.

Kansas Adult Education programs are offered across a number of venues, including one in Douglas County. The Lawrence Public Schools’ Adult Learning Center offers GED preparation and high school diploma completion programs.

Statewide, Kansas Adult Education programs are offered in 13 community colleges, five school districts, three technical colleges and through two communitybased organizations, ac-

cording to the report.

Who are the adult students participating?

Their demographic breakdowns were nearly the same in 2015 as in previous years, according to the report. l Employment status: 50 percent have jobs; 29 percent are unemployed; and 21 percent are not in the labor force. l Level of education: 72 percent lack high school diplomas; 16 percent have diplomas; and a small percentage have some college or a full degree. l Ethnicity: 40 percent are Hispanic; 35 percent are white; 11 percent are African-American; 9 percent are Asian; and a

ROADWORK Lawrence: l There will be shortterm overnight lane closures on westbound Kansas Highway 10 between East 1900 and East 1750 roads for girder installation work.

Work will begin at 9 p.m.

Monday and Tuesday and end at 6 a.m. Tuesday and Wednesday. Eastbound K-10 will not be affected. l There may be intermittent closures for utility repairs on Iowa Street between 25th and 27th streets this week, following an accident Friday in which a car struck a power pole. l The road to the Clinton Dam north outlet area is closed, starting at the Mutt Run parking lot, and there is no access to the channel from the north outlet area.

Vehicle access to Mutt Run is open. The road is closed until April 1 for pump station work. l Waterline work continues on Michigan Street north and south of West Sixth Street. Both lanes of Michigan Street between Fifth and Sixth streets will be closed, and at times, westbound Sixth Street may be reduced to one lane. have been a result of the sheer duration of the gun range’s existence there.

The Douglas County Rifle & Pistol Club has been operating at the location for decades, and it’s been allowed to remain open even though the Gun Free School Zones Act went into effect 20 years ago.

Another reason could be the lack of serious incidents in the time the gun range has been there.

Lawrence Dietze, the secretary of the gun club, told us last week he could remember only one injury in recent history: when a man’s gun malfunctioned a few years ago and he suffered a minor injury.

The city can’t stop a privately owned gun range from coming to town, but it will have a say in where it goes. The next step in the process is a review by the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission on Monday.

One category of participants that has gone up in recent years is those who move on to postsecondary education within three years of completing their Adult Education work.

In 2008, 26 percent transitioned to higher ed, and 31 percent transitioned in 2014, according to the report.

DEATHS Journal-World obituary policy: For information about running obituaries, call 832-7151. Obituaries run as submitted by funeral homes or the families of the deceased.

Warren TuTTle Culver Warren T. Culver bid farewell to this life 12 February 2016 while in the loving arms of family members. His legacy continues through his wife Katherine; his children: Ronald (and wife Leigh) of Prescott Valley, AZ, Lee (and wife Martha) of Marietta, GA, Barbara of Lawrence, KS, Warren Jr. of Ft. Myers, FL, James (and wife Mona) of Congress, AZ; his grandchildren: Coleen, Jason, Barry, Katherine, Kacey, Warren, Kaylee; his great grandchildren: Nicholas, Ryan, Holly, Chloe and his sister Marian Phillips of Westhampton, NY. He is preceded in death by his parents Herbert and Katharine, sister Amy Terry, brothers Arthur, Hallock and Herbert.

Born January 11, 1920 on Long Island, NY, the fourth of six children to Herbert R. and Katharine H. Culver, Warren grew up in Westhampton, NY, on the shores of Long Island. During his young adult years he excelled as a high school wrestler; joined Boy Scouts of America, eventually becoming a Life Scout; worked one summer as a lifeguard at Westhampton Beach; raced sailboats in Moriches Bay, Long Island; and worked in his father’s plumbing business and the family duck farm.

The family lived through the Great Depression of the 1930’s, and out of those circumstances emerged a young man of Christian faith displaying steadiness, strength, confidence, and unshakable belief in the value of hard work and affinity for one’s fellow man… all of which Warren attributed to the lifelong example set by his mother and father.

Surrounded by positive influences and loving family, Warren decided to enter medicine. He began his undergraduate education at Maryville College, TN, and it was there he met his love, Katherine Ann Garvin. Graduating cum laude from Maryville he was accepted at the Long Island College of Medicine (now, State University of New York). While in medical school, he and Katherine married, July 1944.

Graduating in 1946, Warren entered military active duty as a physician, spending a total of 26 years serving his nation in the United States Air Force and becoming a board-certified ophthalmologist.

He served as Chief Flight Surgeon and commanded several USAF hospitals.

Warren’s career included flying in B-29’s as a flight surgeon with USAF Hurricane Hunters while stationed at Kindley Field, Bermuda.

As Chief of Ophthalmology at the School of Aviation Medicine, Randolph AFB, he also participated in the testing of the first hydrogen (atmospheric) bomb detonated by this nation at Johnson Island, evaluating its ophthalmic effects. While stationed at Norton AFB he

examined and treated the eyes of former President Dwight Eisenhower.

During the course of his career he cared for the eye health of thousands of military men and women at Air Force hospitals within the US and overseas.

Following retirement from active duty in 1968 as commander of the USAF hospital, Forbes, Topeka, KS, Warren and Katherine bought a home in Lawrence where he opened a private medical practice.

He served the needs of Lawrence and surrounding communities as an ophthalmologist for the next 17 years, retiring from private practice in 1985.

Warren continued service to his fellow man by delivering, with Katherine, “Meals on Wheels” for 15 years, as well as serving as a Hospice volunteer for many years. He brought comfort and peace to dying individuals in a manner in which he was thoroughly steeped… that of a Christian physician. and, to dying World War II aviators struggling with events of a longago war, he brought the perspective and the comfort of a military flight surgeon. Warren was named Hospice Volunteer of the Year during his period of service.

As a life-long Christian and former Sunday School teacher, Warren and Katherine both joined the First United Methodist Church, Lawrence, upon their move to Lawrence in 1968. There, Warren faithfully worshipped and supported its ministers and its missions until the very end while engaging in philanthropic efforts with a number of organizations.

The trajectory of his life was one of service … service to his nation and to his fellow man as a senior military officer, physician, and humanitarian. If asked, Warren would say that his greatest accomplishment was winning the love of Katherine; love which they, in turn bestowed upon their five children as they imparted Christian values through daily behavior and teaching.

“He never focused on what he could extract from this life; he focused on what he could give” … aptly describes Warren Culver during his time on this earth. The grief at the passing of our father is, at times, unbearable … but, we rejoice that this very good man once lived.

May God bless Warren Tuttle Culver … and welcome him home.

BRIEFLY Rural departments deal with grass fires Rural fire departments around Douglas County responded to three grass fires Saturday afternoon, one of which destroyed a small cattle shed in the southeast portion of the county.

Randy DeMersseman, fire chief of the Palmyra Township Fire Department, said his department responded to the fire that destroyed the shed at about 1 p.m. Saturday on East 2300 Road, south of U.S. Highway 56 and north of North 100 Road.

Mutual aid was requested from the Baldwin City and Wellsville fire departments because units from the Palmyra department were assisting with a grass fire in Eudora Township near the intersection of East 1900 and North 1000 roads, which was reported about two hours earlier.

At the time of the fire in the southeast part of the county, the Lecompton Township Fire Department was fighting a grass fire near that north Douglas County community.

It’s a busy time for rural fire departments because the dry conditions at the end of winter allow agricultural burns to easily get out of control, DeMersseman said.

GOP CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

One of the biggest events of the day Saturday was the annual Kansans for Life prayer breakfast, which drew attendance from dozens of legislators and the state’s entire congressional delegation.

At the event, KFL announced it had issued early endorsements backing Sen. Jerry Moran and all four U.S. House members for re-election, boasting that Kansas has the most pro-life delegation in the country, with all six members scoring a perfect 100 percent on abortion-related issues.

But it may have been Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach who caused the most stir by labeling the American Civil Liberties Union and the League of Women Voters “communists” for challenging the proof-ofcitizenship voting law he championed in 2011.

Speaking to a committee of 2nd Congressional District delegates, Kobach said: “The ACLU and their fellow communist friends, the League of Women Voters — you can quote me on that, the communist League of Women Voters — the ACLU and the communist League of Women Voters sued,” Kobach said, making sure that reporters in the room heard him.

He was referring to a lawsuit filed this month in federal court in Washington, D.C., challenging new federal voter registration forms issued by the Election Assistance Commission that now require voters in Kansas and two other states to show proof of citizenship in order to register.

“And get this,” Kobach said. “We just heard through back channels, the Department of Justice met

L awrence J ournal -W orld

with this federal agency, met with the Kansan who heads this federal agency, tried to brow-beat them into changing their mind, and when they said they wouldn’t change their mind, the Department of Justice said we’re not going to defend a federal agency.”

Kobach announced he would travel to Washington on Monday and file a request to intervene in that case.

Kobach also drew laughter and applause when he launched into criticism of the Kansas Supreme Court and urged Republicans to vote against four of the five justices on the court who are up for retention in 2016.

“The message is, vote no on those justices,” he said. But he urged them to keep the one justice who was appointed by Brownback, Caleb Stegall, of Lawrence, describing him as “the only conservative on the court” and the “one justice on the court who stands completely above criticism.”

Attorney General Derek Schmidt also spoke to district committees, saying it was important to elect a Republican president this year in order to stop what he said were the excesses of the Obama administration.

“Their goal is to cram as much legacy as they can into federal rules, regulations and agency actions over the next 11 months to make it as long and difficult as possible for us, should the voters hire us going forward, to undo errors they have made,” he said. “This is a huge deal.”

Schmidt’s office is currently involved in three multistate lawsuits challenging the Obama administration over clean air regulations to reduce carbon emissions and combat global warming, clean water regulations that extend the reach of

regulations into smaller streams and ponds, and efforts to allow some 4 million undocumented immigrants to stay in the United States.

Later in the day, the party got down to the business of the convention when the 182-member state committee voted to elect state Rep. Mark Kahrs as one of the party’s representatives to the Republican National Committee, succeeding former Congressman Todd Tiahrt, who did not seek another term on the national committee.

“I want to serve at the RNC to represent the values, the Christian Coalition values that the state of Kansas represents, especially on social policy,” Kahrs said. “I will fight vigorously for our prolife plank, and I will fight vigorously for the sanctity of marriage at the national level. There’s an internal battle within the Republican Party on that issue, and I will not waver, and I will not bend on that issue.”

Kahrs defeated Johnson County businessman Chad Bettes, 103-79, to win the position.

Bettes is a marketing and public relations consultant now working for his family’s roofing and siding company. Until last summer, he was a senior associate at the Singularis Group, a GOP consulting firm that was actively involved in campaigns for conservative Republicans who unseated moderate GOP state senators in the 2012 primaries, giving control of the Senate to conservatives.

Kansas Democrats will get their chance to rally their troops and craft their 2016 campaign message when they gather in Topeka on Feb. 26-27 for their own state convention.

Court politics There is no justification for major changes to a supreme court nominating system that has worked well in Kansas for nearly 60 years.

A

fter failing to gain support for a constitutional amendment to change the way members of Kansas Supreme Court are appointed, some state legislators have shifted their attention to the makeup of the nominating commission that screens applicants for seats on the court.

Critics of the current process often focus on the fact that five of the nine members of the Kansas Supreme Court Nominating Commission are elected by attorneys in the state. Solving that problem would require a relatively small tweak to the current law, but the plan now before the Legislature calls for much bigger changes that would make the court selection process far more political.

The plan would maintain a “merit system” for filling vacancies on the Supreme Court and restore that system for the Kansas Court of Appeals but make major changes in the nominating commission that screens applicants for the courts. Currently, members of the Kansas bar in each of the state’s four congressional districts elect one member of the commission, and the governor appoints four non-attorney members, one from each congressional district. An election of the statewide bar picks the commission’s chair, meaning that Kansas attorneys choose a majority of the commission.

Critics say that gives attorneys too much power over the selection process and contributes to a liberal bias on the court so they have proposed expanding the commission to 15 members: four elected by Kansas attorneys, five appointed by the governor and six appointed by legislative leaders from both parties. That plan would diminish the power of attorneys over the process but vastly increase the possibility that the nomination process would be influenced by political agendas.

Opponents of the current system have made a big point of the fact that Kansas is the only state whose judicial nominating commission includes a majority of members elected by Kansas attorneys. That appears to be true, but other states have commissions that vary only slightly from the one in Kansas. According to the National Center for State Courts, nominating commissions in Missouri, Indiana, Iowa and Nebraska all include equal numbers of attorneys elected by other attorneys and non-attorneys appointed by the governor — plus one additional member.

Missouri’s seven-member commission includes a supreme court justice selected by the other justices. In Indiana and Iowa, the chief justice or senior associate justice of the supreme court automatically chairs the commission. A member of the Nebraska Supreme Court serves as the non-voting chair of that state’s commission. Nebraska has an added provision that ensures political balance on its eight-member commission: No more than two lawyers and two non-lawyers on the commission can be members of the same political party.

There is plenty of variety in how different states appoint members of their appellate courts, and the current system in Kansas has worked well for a long time. If legislators feel the need to change that system to fix what they consider to be an egregious imbalance of attorney-elected attorneys in the nominating process, that can be accomplished with relatively minor changes.

There’s no need to drastically alter the nominating commission in a way that would add politics to a process that should be a non-partisan as possible.

Obama overreach spurs retaliation “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.”

— Newton’s Third Law of Motion

Washington — Notice the Newtonian physics of America’s Madisonian system. Barack Obama’s Woodrow Wilsonian hostility to the separation of powers, expressed in his executive authoritarianism, is provoking equal and opposite reactions from the judicial and legislative branches.

The Supreme Court has inflicted on Obama a defeat accurately described as the court’s most severe rebuke of a president since it rejected Harry Truman’s claim that inherent presidential powers legitimated his seizure of the steel industry during the Korean War. The court has blocked Obama’s Clean Power Plan, which rests on the rickety premise that the Clean Air Act somehow, in a way unsuspected for four decades, empowers the Environmental Protection Agency to annihilate the right of states to regulate power generation.

It is unprecedented for the Supreme Court to stop a regulatory regime before a lower court has ruled on its merits.

This is condign punishment for the EPA’s arrogance last year after the court held that it had no authority for a rule regulating fossil-fueled power plants in Michigan. The EPA snidely responded with a gloating statement that the court’s decision came too late to prevent it from imposing almost $10 billion in costs under the illegal rule.

The legislative branch, too, is retaliating against executive overreach. Consider the lethal letter Sen. James

“

The Supreme Court has inflicted on Obama a defeat accurately described as the court’s most severe rebuke of a president since it rejected Harry Truman’s claim that inherent presidential powers legitimated his seizure of the steel industry during the Korean War.” Lankford, R-Okla., sent to the Education Department concerning its Office of Civil Rights.

OCR has sent its own letters to, among other targets, colleges and universities, concerning, among other topics, sexual harassment and violence. These letters, Lankford notes in his, although purporting to offer mere “guidance,” clearly are intended to intimidate schools with the implied threat of “inquiry, investigation, adverse finding, or rescission of federal funding.” Furthermore, Lankford says, they fail to identify “precise governing statutory or regulatory language” that empowers OCR to micromanage institutions’ disciplinary practices.

OCR is insisting on practices discordant with consti-

tutional values. These practices include denying persons accused of sexual assault the right to confront accusers, and subjecting the accused to convictions based on a mere “preponderance of evidence” rather than “clear and convincing” evidence.

In an October 2014 letter to The Boston Globe, 28 Harvard Law School faculty members voiced “strong objections” to OCR’s diktats: “As teachers responsible for educating our students about due process of law, the substantive law governing discrimination and violence, appropriate administrative decision-making, and the rule of law generally, we find the new sexual harassment policy inconsistent with many of the most basic principles we teach.”

Accusing Harvard of “jettisoning balance and fairness in the rush to appease certain federal administration officials,” the professors said: “Harvard has adopted procedures for deciding cases of alleged sexual misconduct which lack the most basic elements of fairness and due process, are overwhelmingly stacked against the accused, and are in no way required by Title IX law or regulation.” They cited “the absence of any adequate opportunity to discover the facts charged and to confront witnesses and present a defense at an adversary hearing.” And: “The failure to ensure adequate representation for the accused.” And: “The lodging of the functions of investigation, prosecution, fact-finding, and appellate review in one office, and the fact that the office is itself a Title IX compliance office rather

than an entity that could be considered structurally impartial.”

Sixteen University of Pennsylvania law professors have expressed similar concerns. As have two members of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, who note “a disturbing pattern of disregard for the rule of law at OCR,” including: defining “perfectly legal conduct as unlawful” (e.g., “telling sexual or dirty jokes” and displaying “sexually explicit drawings”) and squandering resources “to address violations it has made up out of thin air.”

Last Wednesday, OCR, oblivious or indifferent to such learned reproaches, replied to Lankford, saying: Its “guidance” letters do not have the force of law — a distinction without a difference because the letters construe statutes and regulations that have such force. And: The “preponderance of evidence” evidentiary standard is proper because many schools already are using it.

Furthermore, OCR says it must initiate proceedings against an institution “in front of a neutral independent department hearing officer.” So, the department monitors itself neutrally and independently.

Lankford will soon use congressional hearings to acquaint OCR with how unpersuaded he is.

OCR and the EPA, representative tentacles of this lawless administration, are inadvertently serving constitutional values by arousing the resistance of rival branches. Madison’s Newtonian system can still stymie Wilson.

U.S. politics abandons the center “Things fall apart. The centre cannot hold.”

— William Butler Yeats And so this is the presidential campaign of 2016.

If it were a movie, it would be pornography. If it were a sporting event, it would be a cockfight. If it were music, it would be the sound of cats on a hot blackboard.

“

It is hard to escape a sense that at some level, we have disengaged from one another and that as a result, our politics has shrunken to its extremes, like two boxers who retreat to neutral corners to yell across the ring.” iting, the campaign has also come to feel … ominous, like a portent of some dystopian future. You wonder if maybe the superficial nastiness of it isn’t truly superficial at all, but rather, evidence of a grim new reality: that we are a nation of 323 million people in 50 states who not only are not united, but don’t particularly want to be.

It is hard to escape a sense that at some level, we have disengaged from one another and that as a result, our politics has shrunken to its extremes, like two boxers who retreat to neutral cor-

ners to yell across the ring.

Two men, in particular, embody this. The first, of course, is Donald Trump, who has channeled angry misanthropy into political power. The reality show impresario has pulled the Republican Party far to the right, using as his prod the inchoate, done-wrong, want-my-country-back rage of those for whom change is always, by definition, threat.

The second man is Bernie Sanders, who has channeled the angry populism of the political left into a movement that is no slouch for power itself. The Vermont senator has yanked the Democratic field — i.e., Hillary Clinton — far to the left, forcing her to compete for the affections of angry, tired-of-being-dumped-on 99-percenters who see democracy being stolen by Big Money and like it not at all.

Don’t misunderstand the point. Sanders has given voice to concerns too often ignored by Republicans and paid lip service to by Democrats. So the argument here is not that there is equiva-

lence between the extremes of left and right. No, the argument — the observation, really — is that they are both, well … extremes. And that, apparently, that’s all our national politics has left.

It is instructive to watch Clinton and Sanders bicker about which is the more ideologically pure. Until recently, that kind of quarrel was restricted to Republicans jousting over who was most “conservative” — by which they meant draconian — on issues like immigration and abortion. Now, apparently, Democrats, too, want their candidates to pledge allegiance to philosophical dogma.

It raises a question: Whither the center? And if there is no center, how does the nation’s business get done? As ungovernable as the country has been under Barack Obama, a center-left pragmatist the Republicans made out to be the reincarnation of Che Guevara, it can only be worse under a leader whose ideological purity is zealously policed and for whom compromise is apostasy.

One struggles to even imag-

ine what the fall campaign will be like. Usually, candidates argue over who has the best ideas for solving a given set of problems. But in neutral corners America, there is not even consensus on what the problems are. Will we have Trump campaigning on Mexicans and Muslims, while Sanders rails about money and malfeasance? Will we be asked only to decide which makes us most angry and afraid?

If so, whither hope?

And here, Democrats will want it noted that they were not the first to abandon the center. Let the record so state. The GOP eschewed all claim to that ground long ago and even purged itself of members who dared wander too close.

Still, the question of who is to blame for a politics of extremism is less compelling than the question of what that politics portends.

Two boxers yelling at one another from neutral corners makes for great theater.

But the fighting is done in the center of the ring.

Omega-3 Supplements Boost Mental Function in Children The omega-3 fats are essential for brain development and healthy moods, but malnourished children risk being deficient in these nutrients. A new study has found that supplements can lead to neuropsychological improvements in mildly to moderately malnourished children.

Veronica Portillo-Reyes, PhD, of the Autonomous University of Ciudad Juarez, Mexico and her colleagues provided omega-3 capsules or placebos to 59 children, ages eight to 12 years, for three months. The children underwent 18 neuropsychological tests at the beginning and end of the study.

Each omega-3 capsule contained 270 mg of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and 180 mg of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

.

By the end of the study, 50 percent of the children taking the omega-3s had greater improvements in 11 of 18 neuropsychological tests. Furthermore, more than 70 percent of the children had improvements in mental processing speed, hand-eye coordination, perceptual integration (such as recognizing patterns), and executive function (a more complex problem-solving ability).

Although the study was conducted in Mexico, it is relevant to children around the world and, particularly, in the United States, where almost 15 percent of families are considered “food insecure.”

Reference: Portillo-Reyes V, Pérez-García M, Loya-Méndez Y, et al. Clinical significance of neuropsychological improvement after supplementation with omega-3 in 8-12 years old malnourished Mexican children: A randomized, double-blind, placebo and treatment clinical trial. Research in Developmental Disabilities, 2014;35(4):861-870.

Clothing, Latitude Effect Vitamin D Levels Researchers at Queensland University of Technology, Australia, investigated the variables that influence a person’s vitamin D levels. They studied 1,002 people ages 18 to 75 years. The single most important factor was the amount of clothing people wore. More clothing reduces the amount of skin exposed to sunlight, and this one factor accounted for 27 percent of the variance in vitamin D levels. By comparison, latitude and season were slightly less important factors. Editor’s note: These findings underpin the importance of supplementing vitamin D through the winter months, when most of us are covered from head to toe in clothing.

His vicar son celebrates funeral Mass before a host of dignitaries

Richard Wolf and Gregory Korte USA TODAY

Forever combative about the law, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was remembered Saturday as a man whose deeply held religious faith brought him peace.

Rather than a star-studded funeral service featuring judges and politicians, Scalia’s send-off at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception — the largest Roman Catholic church in North America — was a traditional Mass of Christian Burial befitting a true believer.

It also was a family affair, presided over 2006 AP PHOTO

by Scalia’s son Justice Scalia Paul, episcopal vicar for clergy of the Diocese of Arlington, Va., and attended by the justice’s wife of 55 years, Maureen, eight other children and most if not all of their 36 grandchildren.

Scalia’s casket, covered by a white-and-gold pall, led a procession to the altar with his family during the opening hymn O God Our Help in Ages Past.

Helping Scalia’s son celebrate the Mass were Cardinal Donald Wuerl, the archbishop of Washington, D.C., Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, the Vatican’s ambassador to the United States and Pope Francis’ personal representative, and dozens of other bishops and priests.

Britain’s historic EU referendum to be held on June 23 PM: Tie to Europe in nation’s best interests Kim Hjelmgaard and Jane Onyanga-Omara USA TODAY

Prime Minister David Cameron said Saturday that Britain would hold its historic referendum on whether to remain in the European Union on June 23.

“We are approaching one of the biggest decisions this country will face in our lifetimes,” Cameron said in a short statement outside 10 Downing Street, his LONDON

British Prime Minister David Cameron tells voters: “You will decide” on membership.

official residence and the headquarters of the British government.

“This choice goes to the heart of what kind of country we want to be and the future we want for our children,” he said.

“Let me be clear,” he added.

“Leaving Europe would compromise our economic and national security.”

Cameron reached an EU deal in Brussels late Friday after marathon negotiations at a summit of the group’s leaders.

He sought to amend the country’s relationship with the EU ahead of setting a date for the vote, in part because he faces

skepticism within his Conservative Party about the merits of retaining Britain’s ties with the 28-nation political bloc.

“Three years ago, I committed to the British people that I would renegotiate our position in the EU and hold an in-out referendum. Now I am delivering that commitment. You will decide,” he said.

Cameron spoke after emerging from a Cabinet meeting on the issue. It was the first British Cabinet meeting held on a Saturday since the Falklands War in 1982.

He said his Cabinet backed his goal of keeping Britain in the EU. Still, one of the prime minis-

ter’s closest allies who is held in high regard by Conservatives — Justice Minister Michael Gove — said he will campaign for a socalled Brexit, or British exit, from the EU. Cameron said he was “disappointed but not surprised.”

A number of other Cabinet ministers and senior party members may follow suit, including Boris Johnson, London’s influential mayor.

An average of the six most recent polls of voting intentions showed that 51% of Britons would choose to remain in the EU, while 49% would opt to leave.

marks at a funeral service filled with all the pageantry of a traditional Catholic high Mass, “I will confine my remarks to these few words of greeting and welcome to the many, many people who are here in this magnificent basilica simply to express their respect for this extraordinary man, Justice Scalia.”

The church, dedicated to Mary, is a pilgrimage site where Pope Francis celebrated the canonization Mass for St. Junipero Serra last year — the first-ever such Mass on American soil.

In his homily, the Rev. Scalia subtly acknowledged his father’s controversial legacy on the Supreme Court.

“We are gathered here because of one man. A man known personally to many of us, known only by reputation to even more. A man loved by many, scorned by others. A man known for great controversy and for great compassion,” he said. “That man, of course, is Jesus of Nazareth.”

Catholic funeral Masses do not allow for eulogies by laypeople, and no such tributes were on the program. Instead, the Rev. Scalia used his sermon to speak of his father’s legacy — as a man of faith and family, if not the law — and also of his uncompromising temperament that became an essential part of his public image.

“God blessed Dad with a deep Catholic faith: The conviction that Christ’s presence and power continue in the world today through His body, the church. He loved the clarity and coherence of the church’s teachings. He treasured the church’s ceremonies, especially the beauty of her ancient worship; he trusted the power of her sacraments as the means of salvation,” he said.

One of those sacraments is confession, and Scalia told the story of the time his father some-

Service was held at Washington’s Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. how found himself in his priest son’s confessional line one Saturday and quickly left. “As he put it later, ‘Like heck if I’m confessing to you!’ ” the Rev. Scalia said.

“The feeling was mutual,” he added, noting that “the Roman collar was not a shield against his criticism.”

Justice Clarence Thomas, Scalia’s closest ally on the bench, and Leonard Leo, executive vice president of the conservative Federalist Society, recited Scripture.

After the Mass, family pallbearers carried Scalia’s casket along a cordon of priests and saluting Supreme Court police officers to a hearse for a private burial.

friends will be March 1 at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, the Scalia family said Saturday.

Thousands of Scalia’s devoted fans — his expansive family, current and former Supreme Court justices, nearly 100 former law clerks and guests, including Vice President Biden and his wife, Jill — filled the medieval-style church on a cloudy, breezy, warm winter

day. All the current Supreme Court justices attended, as did former justices John Paul Stevens and David Souter, sitting on folding chairs in front of the first pew.

Among the many judges in attendance was Sri Srinivasan of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, perhaps the leading candidate among many President Obama may choose from to nominate for Scalia’s seat. Also seen entering the Basilica: Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, a Republican presidential candidate, and former vice president Dick Cheney.

On Friday, more than 6,000 people paid their respects as Scalia’s body lay in repose at the Great Hall of the Supreme Court.

The building remained open to allow everyone in line to get in.

The court’s longest-serving jus-

tice was a month shy of his 80th birthday when he was found dead Feb. 13 during a visit to a West Texas ranch.

His death has touched off a harsh debate between the White House and Senate Republicans over Obama’s right to nominate a successor in the waning days of his presidency and the Senate’s right to ignore or defeat that nominee.

That battle will resume following Scalia’s public funeral and private burial. The president, who paid respects Friday in the Great Hall, later was seen carrying a binder with information about potential nominees for weekend reading.

The 79-year-old justice will be remembered as one of the most gifted writers in the court’s history and a fierce debater from the bench who changed the nature of oral arguments. His many lectures, speeches and interviews helped to educate and energize younger generations of conservative legal thinkers.

“He was brilliant. He never felt you were there to invent law from the bench, you were there to interpret. He was full of life and vigor. He lived life to the fullest,” said Dirk Kempthorne, who was sworn in by Scalia as secretary of the Interior in 2006. “What a wonderful, delightful man. He was the epitome of life and did not take himself too seriously.”

“It was a very beautiful service and I think he would have been pleased,” said Republican former senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania. “It was about the things he cared about most, his faith and his family. The emphasis was not on his time on the court or his impact on the country, but how his faith and his family shaped all those things we all know and celebrate about his life. He was a good guy and a good friend.”

need jobs that pay well and can’t be outsourced.”

Clinton won all six at-large precincts set up on Las Vegas Strip for on-duty casino and hotel shift workers on Saturday, Nevada Democratic Party results showed. At the Paris casino, the caucusgoers were almost exclusively Latino and black — and Clinton snagged more than twice the delegates Sanders received.

Sanders did better than expected with Latino voters, entrance polling showed, but Clinton carried off a big win with African Americans — a segment of the population she’s counting on to help her win in the Southern states that vote next month.

It was a blow to Sanders, who had hoped Nevada would prove he has what it takes to carry more diverse states. Sanders issued a statement shortly after the race was called, saying he had spoken to Clinton “and congratulated her on her victory here in Nevada.”

In a speech to supporters, he said he still believes he has the momentum in the Democratic contest nationwide. “I believe that on Super Tuesday we’ve got an excellent chance to win many of those states,” he said, and his nomination at the Democratic convention in Philadelphia will mark “one of the great political upsets in the history of the United States.”

Leomia Dillon, a 55-year-old guest service operator at the Paris casino, was ecstatic about Clinton’s victory. “I like what she stands for,” said Dillon, who is black. “She stands for women, and equal pay for women.”

The results were a disappointment to Dennis Torh, 47, who works in housekeeping at the hotel at the Paris casino. “Bernie Sanders stood with MLK and has great experience. He wants everyone to be able to afford a college education,” said Torh, who is black and has no college degree.

Clinton backers said she proved she’s better at retail campaigning than political observers give her credit for. She personally visited the back of the house at casinos to ask shift workers for their votes, including a midnight visit to Caesars Palace.

In the final days before the Nevada caucuses, the candidates took turns trying to make a dent in the others’ popularity, especially with black and Latino vot-

ers. Minority voters held the cards in Nevada, where 48.5% of the population is non-white.

Clinton repeatedly stressed her closeness with President Obama. Sanders accused Clinton of pandering to blacks, telling the Black Entertainment Television cable network last week that “she loves the president, he loves her and all that stuff. And we know what that’s about. That’s trying to win support from the AfricanAmerican community where the president is enormously popular.”

A photograph surfaced Friday that helped Sanders counter Clinton surrogates’ claim that he was absent from the civil rights battle. The Chicago Tribune dug out of its archives a photo of a 21year-old Sanders, a University of Chicago student at the time, resisting arrest during a 1963 protest over racial inequality.

Immigration was another point of contention last week.

Team Clinton attacked Sanders for voting against a 2007 immigration bill; Sanders defended his opposition, saying he believed its guest worker provision to be morally wrong. The dispute prompted a leading Latino rights activist, Brent Wilkes of the League of United Latin American Citizens, to call Clinton’s criticism “unfair.” Wilkes told BuzzFeed News: “It’s hard to separate Hillary’s record from (her husband’s). The Clintons, when they were in office, weren’t exactly friends to immigrants.”

Clinton’s trustworthiness, and her closeness to the powerful financial industry leaders of Wall Street, were other big themes in the closing days.

Clinton stirred trouble for herself by seeming to hedge when asked in a CBS News interview on Thursday if she’d echo President Carter’s pledge to never lie to the American people. She answered that she doesn’t think she has ever lied. “I don’t believe I ever have. I don’t believe I ever have. I don’t believe I ever will,” she told CBS anchor Scott Pelley.

Sanders continued to push Clinton to release transcripts of her closed-door speeches to Wall Street. Thursday night, during the MSNBC forum in Las Vegas, Clinton said she’d be “happy to release anything I have when everybody else does the same.”

sharpened their battle to be the alternative to Trump, who faces heavy opposition from many traditional Republicans. They fear the brash billionaire may not be able to win the general election and could drag down other GOP candidates.

“After tonight, this has become a three-person race and we will win the nomination,” Rubio told backers in Columbia, S.C. Trump, whose South Carolina campaign included attacks on former Republican President George W. Bush over the Iraq war and a flap with Pope Francis over immigration, did well with new GOP voters angry at the government and wanting major change.

An easy winner of the New Hampshire primary Feb. 9, Trump told South Carolina crowds that a win Saturday would enable him to “run the table” in future primaries and caucuses en route to the Republican presidential nomination.

All the candidates are preparing for those contests, which include caucuses Tuesday in Nevada and a string of Southern primaries on March 1.

Cruz, who defeated Trump in the Iowa caucuses and was hoping for a repeat in the first Southern primary, says he is seeking to build “the old Reagan coalition” of evangelicals, economic conservatives, young people and Ronald Reagan-style Democrats.

A lawyer and former Supreme Court law clerk, Cruz left South Carolina for Washington briefly Saturday to attend the funeral of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.

While Cruz argued during the campaign in South Carolina that Trump is a fake conservative who has backed Democratic causes in the past, Trump accused Cruz of being a liar and dirty trickster.

Trump, whose comments about Mexican immigrants, women and critics in general have been condemned throughout the campaign, added more controversial statements during his time in South Carolina.

During his North Charleston appearance, Trump told an apocryphal story about a U.S. general — John J. Pershing — who executed accused Islamic terrorists a century ago with bullets dipped in pigs’ blood. Historians have debunked the tale.

Rubio, the Florida senator,

called Trump’s tale “bizarre,” and told NBC’s Weekend Today show that “I’m sure people are offended. We hope people are offended by that. That’s not what the United States is about.”

Kasich, who finished second to Trump in New Hampshire, had acknowledged his underdog status in South Carolina and is already looking toward future primaries and caucuses.

Carson, the retired neurosurgeon who seemed headed for a sixth-place finish in South Carolina, told supporters he has no plans to withdraw: “We still have the ability to dictate the course of our country.”

Voters offered a variety of reasons for their choices Saturday.

Taylor Hall, 23, a law student at the Charleston School of Law, said he planned to vote for Trump because “it’s time for a wake-up call in this country.”

Despite a handshake from Bush at his polling place on Daniel Island, mechanical engineer Ray Summerow, 25, said he went with Cruz. Summerow said Trump has taken liberal positions in the past while the Texas senator has been a more consistent conservative.

Harold Turner, 87, who cast his first presidential vote for Barry Goldwater in 1964, said he decided to back Rubio after seeing him speak in Charleston. “He was truthful, comfortable,” he said.

“Not being argumentative.”

Most voters, however, went for Trump. Tyler Westbrook, 53, a retired stock analyst from Charleston, said he simply doesn’t like the direction the country is going in. “I think it’s time for a big change,” Westbrook said, “and ... if I’m in the Republican primary wanting change — it’s got to be Mr. Trump.”

VATICAN CLARIFIES FRANCIS’ TRUMP REMARKS Pope Francis’ remarks aboard the papal plane that Trump “is not Christian” because of his proposal to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexican border not surprisingly dominated campaign headlines Thursday.

Trump fired back that “for a religious leader to question a person’s faith is disgraceful.”

But anyone counting on this escalating into a months-long feud along the lines of TrumpMegyn Kelly may be disappointed. By Thursday night, Trump seemed inclined to defuse the controversy, saying of the pope during a CNN town hall: “I think he said something much softer than was originally reported by the media.”

Father Federico Lombardi of the Vatican press office said the pontiff’s comments were not “in any way a personal attack nor an indication of voting.”

Clyburn no longer impartial.

HILLARY CLINTON PICKS UP COVETED ENDORSEMENT Clinton is counting on a big win in the Feb. 27 South Carolina Democratic primary, and her cause was helped this week when she picked up the biggest endorsement for Palmetto State Democrats: Rep. Jim Clyburn.

The longtime South Carolina congressman said Friday his “heart has always been with Hillary Clinton, but my head had me in a neutral corner.” Then, in announcing his support for Clinton: “I have decided to terminate my neutrality and get engaged.”

The support of Clyburn, the highest-ranking black member of Congress, could prove critical as Clinton looks not just to win in South Carolina but demonstrate overwhelming support as her battle with Bernie Sanders heads south and Democratic electorates grow more diverse.

“Being part of the entertainmentindustrial complex is part of being president.”

Robert Thompson, Syracuse University

Rick Hampson USA TODAY

Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush and John Kasich all say so: America is electing a commander in chief, not an “entertainer in chief.” Civics teachers everywhere say, “Amen!”

But a candidate who wants to beat one outstanding entertainer (Donald Trump) for the right to succeed another (Barack Obama) must be able to put on a show, and to go on one. An ability to entertain — in even quirky settings — has become part of the job.

Which helps explain why 2016 presidential aspirants, current and former, have released videos of themselves frying bacon on the hot barrel of a semiautomatic rifle (Ted Cruz); chain-sawing a copy of the tax code (Rand Paul); and throwing a cellphone off a roof after Trump gave out his number (Lindsey Graham).

Jeb Bush slow-jammed the news with Jimmy Fallon. Hillary Clinton has played Val the Bartender on Saturday Night Live.

Bernie Sanders relishes the implicit flattery of comedian Larry David’s impersonation so much that he tells interviewers, “I am Larry David.” (That was dispelled when the two appeared together on SNL.) “Being part of the entertainment-industrial complex is part of being president,” says Robert Thompson, the Syracuse University expert on TV and pop culture.

Once, all a presidential candidate had to do was chat on a few late-night network talk shows.

After you were elected, even that wasn’t required.

Then came Obama who, after taking office in 2009, became the first sitting president to appear on a late-night talk show (The Tonight Show With Jay Leno); the first to appear on a daytime talk

show (The View); the first to record a podcast (WTF with Marc Maron) in the host’s garage; the first to come within 10 yards of an interviewer as unpredictable as Zach Galifianakis on the Web show Between Two Ferns.

Obama has driven around the South Lawn in a 1963 Corvette with Jerry Seinfeld for the Web series Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. He appeared seven times in as many years on The Daily Show With Jon Stewart.

“Obama is the first talk-show president,” says Robert Lichter, a George Mason University professor who has studied the subject.

“He’s made these shows part of the permanent campaign, which is governing.”

Every politician needs to show he or she is a regular guy or gal. A candidate goes on a talk show, says Jon Macks, a Democratic consultant who wrote for Leno on Tonight for 22 years, so viewers will think, “I like this guy, because he’s connecting with the host, who I like.”

And nothing says “real human being” like a sense of humor, especially a self-deprecating one.

Ronald Reagan, thought by some to be too old for the presidency, claimed to understand what the Founding Fathers intended in the Constitution because he knew them. Obama has said little kids like him in part because his ears are so big that he looks like a cartoon character.

Obama also uses humor as a weapon. A lesser ego than Trump’s never would have survived the skewering Obama gave him at the White House Correspondents’ dinner in 2011, much less emerged five years later as winner of the New Hampshire GOP primary.

Obama has plugged policies and programs (Obamacare sign ups on Between Two Ferns); drawn attention to issues (climate change on NBC’s Running

Wild With Bear Grylls, in which he trekked to a shrinking Alaskan glacier); enhanced his coolness quotient (driving with Seinfeld); and displayed the common touch.

Obama has taken his act to such non-traditional venues to reach viewers, especially Millennials, who never even watch Fallon, much less the evening news.

“As the mass audience fragments, politicians have to seek out things like Web programs and podcasts,” Thompson says. “Obama got some politics in between those ferns.”

Within a few hours of the Galifianakis show, there were almost 20,000 referral visits to HealthCare.gov. In one year, the episode received 30 million views.

Show biz can be politically risky.

In 2008, David Letterman pummeled Late Show semi-regular and GOP presidential nominee John McCain for days after he canceled an appearance in the midst of the financial crisis. Finally, McCain came on and apologized.

Obama is a natural — “the best president ever at delivering a joke,” says Dean Obeidallah, a comedian who hosts a show on SiriusXM radio.

Obama has a chameleon’s ability to match an entertainment habitat; as they say in Washington, he gets the joke. He mirrored and thus neutralized Galifianakis’ deadpan insolence; emulated Grylls’ gung-ho zest for nature; and wisecracked with Seinfeld.

Asked by the stand-up master to name his most embarrassing moment as president, Obama replied, “This may be it.”

IN BRIEF 2 HOSTAGES BELIEVED KILLED IN U.S. AIRSTRIKES IN LIBYA

A U.S. airstrike targeting an Islamic State leader operating in Libya may have killed two Serbian Embassy staffers who were being held hostage, according to media reports Saturday.

Dozens were believed killed when American F-15E fighter bombers struck an Islamic State training camp Friday located in a coastal city west of Tripoli. The U.S. was targeting Noureddine Chouchane, identified by the Tunisian government as a suspect in the attack at the Bardo Museum in the Tunisian capital of Tunis.

Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic told reporters Saturday that an embassy communications officer, Sladjana Stankovic, and a driver, Jovica Stepic, are believed to have died in the attack, according to media reports. He said they had been held since November when their diplomatic convoy came under attack near Sabratha, the city where the Islamic State training base was located.

Photos believed to be of the two dead embassy workers were sent by Libyan authorities to Serbian diplomats, Reuters reported.

County early Saturday morning.

Three Mississippi Highway Patrol SWAT officers were hospitalized, officials said.

Authorities negotiated with the suspect, Charles Lee Lambert, 45, for six hours until all possibilities had been exhausted.

Two combined tactical teams entered the home. Lambert, who was using a high-powered rifle, was killed by law enforcement.

2nd revolt brews amid corruption Ukraine could lose financial assistance as reforms too few, too slow Oren Dorell and Kim Hjelmgaard USA TODAY

Two years after a pro-Western revolution provoked a conflict with Russian-backed separatists, Ukraine faces a graver threat from rampant corruption — the problem that sparked its 2014 revolt in the first place.

In eastern Ukraine, government forces are under the fiercest assault from militants since a cease-fire began to take hold in the beginning of September.

And in the capital, Kiev, Ukrainian politicians face a growing backlash over an economy in shambles and widespread cronyism it had pledged to eradicate when parliament voted on Feb. 22, 2014, to oust Russianbacked President Viktor Yanukovych. Parliament’s actions were backed by mass demonstrations on Maidan square in Kiev, where Yanukovych’s troops shot and killed many protesters.

While the conflict in the east saps energy and costs lives, what’s at stake in Ukraine’s faltering struggle with corruption is the support of its European allies and full integration with the West, warned Germany’s ambassador to the United States, Peter Wittig.

The “fight against corruption should be a top priority of the Ukrainian leadership,” Wittig told USA TODAY. “If Ukraine doesn’t modernize and reform its economy, if corruption is not tackled, European and Western investors will not go to Ukraine. Nobody goes to a country where there is a risk of becoming entangled in structures that are not based on the rule of law.”

International monitors reported hundreds of mortars, artillery and rocket attacks Thursday that were launched from territory backed by Russian-backed militants against national forces.

ist strongholds of Donetsk and Luhansk. Russia continues to supply arms, ammunition, fuel and money almost daily, Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate of the ministry of defense told USA TODAY. Ukrainian officials also accuse Russia of launching powerful cyberattacks, such as one that temporarily forced a power plant to close in December, and an at-

tack on the Kiev airport that was intercepted in January by Ukrainian cyber security analysts.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, whose government long denied any military role in eastern Ukraine, admitted in December his military was conducting “certain tasks” there. The Russian military did not respond to USA TODAY for this article.

Amid the ongoing attacks, Ukrainian leaders have implemented some needed economic and political changes, but not enough to satisfy their European donors and reformists at home.

Ukraine created a more professional national police force, closed banks that were involved in money laundering and cut subsidies for gas and electric service, causing prices to rise fourfold, said Anders Aslund, an economics analyst at the Atlantic Council think tank.

An electronic state procurement program saved 2% of economic output by reducing

corruption and increasing competition for government purchases. Reductions in regulations and a free-floating currency resulted in minimizing Ukraine’s debt service for the next four years, Aslund said.

But the accomplishments were too few and too slow to satisfy reform-minded Ukrainian activists, hundreds of whom returned to the streets of Kiev this past week to push members of parliament to do more. The backlash resulted in the resignation of Prosecutor General Victor Shokin, as demanded by Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, Vice President Biden and activists who said the country’s top law enforcement officer had failed to crack down on cronyism and corruption.

Parliament passed a law privatizing state-owned enterprises, which have been used to favor political supporters. Lawmakers have not created full transparency in government spending, a change resisted by the country’s wealthiest entrepreneurs, who benefit most. Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk survived a vote of confidence after a raft of lawmakers backed by those oligarchs walked out without voting.

Aslund said the political shenanigans put at risk $4 billion in financial assistance from the International Monetary Fund, the European Union and the United States. Ukraine needs the funds to remain on a solid financial footing. Lenders will not disburse them if Ukraine is about to get a new government whose commitment to the IMF program is uncertain, Aslund said.

Michael McFaul, a former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, said the next year will be pivotal if Ukraine’s leadership is to avoid another revolt.

“I don’t think there’ll be tolerance for more muddling” by Ukrainian politicians, McFaul said.

“Ukrainians believe they’re in a fight for their lives.”

Cheap yen, airfare spark visits to Japan Record numbers of foreign tourists are flooding the nation Kirk Spitzer USA TODAY

SAPPORO, JAPAN

Shannon Vogrig and Eloise Thomas were midway through a two-week ski vacation this month when they took a break to do some shopping and sightseeing.

It was the Australian couple’s second trip to Japan in just over a year, and they had only one complaint: too many foreign tourists.

“We’re trying to avoid other Australians, but it’s not easy,” Thomas said.

You could say that. Foreign visitors are flocking to Japan in record numbers, buoyed by a weak yen, budget airfares, relaxed visa requirements and pre-Olympics buzz.

Nearly 20 million foreigners visited Japan in 2015. That’s up nearly 50% from 2014 and more than double from a year earlier, according to the Japan National Tourism Organization.

The tourists include a flood of ported this month that foreign Americans: 1.03 million last year, visitors spent about $27 billion up from 727,234 in 2010. “We love last year — up 71% over 2014.

creasingly important market since they spend so much money. You see them in stores everywhere,” Sapporo Mayor Katsuhiro Akimoto said.

Sapporo is a major winter des-

tination, with dozens of nearby ski resorts and an annual Winter Festival that draws 2.4 million visitors per year, including a quartermillion from overseas. Many arrive on charter flights from China,

South Korea and Australia, and officials are looking to expand air connections throughout the AsiaPacific region.

“Our growth is coming not just from China or other traditional markets,” Akimoto said. “We have many visitors from Southeast Asia who have never seen snow, so this is a nice place for them to come and bring the family. Many people come here for second or third visits. Right now we are looking to arrange more direct flights from overseas, and that will help, too.”

Much of the increase in tourists is because of the falling yen, which has made Japan a cheaper destination than in years past. The yen peaked at 76 per dollar in early 2012 but dropped steadily under the easy-money policies of Abe’s government to stimulate growth.

The yen fell to 124 per dollar last June, before strengthening somewhat in recent months.

The Abe administration also worked hard to ease some barriers to foreign tourism. Visa restrictions have been relaxed, particularly for those visiting from China and Southeast Asian countries, who were once largely restricted to organized tours.

An 8% sales tax was lifted on most items for overseas visitors.

Tax-free spending by foreigners at 46 selected retail outlets surveyed recently by the Japan Department Stores Association nearly doubled from $42.2 million in September to $80.8 million in November.

In Tokyo, the local government plans to expand free Wi-Fi service — currently woeful by world standards — add English-language road signs and overhaul map symbols to make it easier for tourists to get around in the world’s largest city. (Example: The symbol for temples and shrines on many road maps and tourist publications closely resembles the Nazi swastika.)

Even private and public baths are getting in the swim of things.

At some facilities, foreigners are exempt from a ban on bathers with tattoos — a measure designed to exclude yakuza gangsters but that has resulted in some foreigners with more benign body art being turned away.

Vogrig and Thomas said they were eager to come back for a third trip to Japan.

“The snow is good. It’s affordable. The people are friendly. You can experience a different culture,” Vogrig said.

Assuming, of course, they can avoid other Australians.

UNDERSTANDING

ZIKA ABOUT THE AEDES AEGYPTI

TREATMENT No vaccine to prevent or treat Zika; no treatment for microcephaly.

Aedes aegypti mosquitoes have distinctive black-and-white-striped coloration. They are aggressive daytime biters. This species can survive year-round in tropical and subtropical climates.

PREVENTION

The World Health Organization has labeled the Zika virus and its link to complications in newborns as an international health emergency.

Here is what you should know:

Avoid mosquitoes AVOID BEING OUTSIDE

Aedes mosquitoes bite mostly during the daytime.

COVER UP EXPOSED AREAS

TRANSMISSION METHOD

EPA

Aedes aegypti mosquitoes can transmit Zika, dengue, chikungunya and yellow fever to humans.

If outside, wear long-sleeve shirts and long pants.

Aedes mosquitoes, which become infected when they feed on a person who has the virus, spread the virus to others through bites.

MAY ALSO BE SPREAD BY APPLY INSECT REPELLENT

CONTAINER BREEDERS The mosquitoes breed wherever water collects such as discarded plastic cups, bottle caps, old tires and birdbaths.

Sexual partners (the virus lasts longer in semen than blood)

HOW ZIKA SPREADS

EPA-registered repellents recommended, particularly ones labeled to protect against Aedes mosquitoes.

(No repellents should be used in babies younger than 2 months.)

Blood transfusions

A pregnant woman to her fetus during pregnancy

The Zika virus is spread by the bite of the Aedes aegypti mosquito and possibly the Aedes albopictus. Where the mosquitoes can be found in the U.S.:

GET THEM WHERE THEY BREED

Important: Empty containers of standing water frequently (in buckets, animal dishes, flower pots, tarps). Mosquitoes lays eggs and congregate in and near pools of water but also may rest under beds and inside closets.

ZIKA VIRUS SYMPTOMS

AEDES AEGYPTI MOSQUITO AREAS

Four of five people infected with Zika have no symptoms. Symptoms are usually mild and can last a week. Most common symptoms:

Fever

AEDES ALBOPICTUS MOSQUITO AREAS

Rash

Conjunctivitis (pink eye)

Joint pain

FOR MORE INFORMATION ONLINE:

WHY ZIKA IS DANGEROUS Linked to Guillain-Barre Syndrome, a neurological disorder that can cause temporary paralysis.

Linked to a birth defect known as microcephaly, which results in small heads and brain damage in infants.

www.cdc.gov/zika/ www.who.int/emergencies/ zika-virus/en/ www.cidrap.umn.edu/ infectious-disease-topics/ zika#literature

THE SPREAD OF THE ZIKA VIRUS The risk in the U.S. is much lower than in developing countries because American cities are less densely populated, have less poverty and trash and have more homes equipped with window screens and air conditioning. U.S. cities also have better mosquito control.

BUSINESS SURVEILLANCE MYSTERY IN IPHONE CASE uIn a nutshell: The latest salvo in the privacy fight between Apple and the federal government came in an Apple briefing with reporters Friday afternoon.

The ID passcode to the iPhone the FBI wants Apple to hack for information about one of the San Bernardino, Calif., terrorists was changed less than a day after the government gained possession of it, Apple executives told our Jon Swartz. uThe upshot: Had the passcode not been changed, Apple said, a backup of the information the government seeks could have been viewed. It is unclear who changed the Apple ID passcode while it was in the government’s possession, an Apple executive said.

t’s a split decision on the Apple-FBI standoff..

As tech companies line up behind the device maker — Yahoo on Friday became the latest to support Apple — the public is siding with the feds. An exclusive USA TODAY poll conducted by SurveyMonkey reveals that 51% of 1,093 people polled Thursday and Friday support the FBI’s request to unlock the iPhone of Syed Riswan Farook, one of the killers in the San Bernardino, Calif., shootings in December.

The Justice Department on Friday filed a motion to compel Apple to comply.

Wilmington, Del., DuPont’s home since its founding in 1802, will be the base for two offshoots, and Midland, Mich., Dow’s home since 1897, will retain the material-sciences company, the companies said on Friday.

Pepsi’s hat tip to the emoji generation: Nathan Bomey USA TODAY

PepsiCo is planning an emojiclad packaging campaign, with hopes that the characters will encourage people to pick up its drinks as well as promote the beverages on social media.

The company’s “Say It With Pepsi” campaign is slated to spread to more than 100 countries this summer, including the U.S., Pepsico CEO Indra Nooyi told attendees at the Consumer Analyst Group of New York Conference, which took place in Boca Raton, Fla., last week.

Pepsi confirmed for USA TODAY that it created hundreds of emoji designs, including some that will have global appeal and some tailor-made for local markets — all based on the shape of the iconic red-white-and-blue Pepsi circle.

“Emojis are the language of today, but no one has put them

in the world like Pepsi will in 2016,” Nooyi said, according to an archived webcast of her presentation.

“Our design center has designed all these emojis.”

The company tested the PepsiMoji campaign in 2015 in certain markets, including Canada, Thailand and Russia.

“They are a shared language now across cultures and I think

that’s why brands are gravitating to them,” he said.

The move comes after rival Coca-Cola first launched a popular Share-a-Coke campaign in 2014, and revived it in 2015.

Coke tagged bottles with hundreds of different first names and other phrases like “BFF” and “Better Half.” Many consumers posted pictures of themselves with bottles that used their name.

Like Coke’s Share-a-Coke campaign, the Say It With Pepsi campaign is aimed at bolstering soft drink sales as consumers increasingly ditch sugary beverages.

Pepsi’s carbonated beverage sales fell 2% in 2015 and 2% in 2014, according to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

A heavy emphasis on social media is central to the campaign, much like Coke urged consumers to post photos of their drinks to Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat and other social media.

But the company needs to take into account that they may “turn off” older generations, or could come off as trying too hard to “look cool,” Swystun says.

5 CONSIDERATIONS WHEN RETIREMENT PLANNING FOR 2 GETTY IMAGES/ISTOCKPHOTO

Arielle O’Shea l NerdWallet

Here’s a novel way to romance the one you love: Pull up two chairs at your kitchen table, pop a bottle of Champagne and start talking about retirement.

What could be more romantic than planning for your future together?

Here are five considerations that should be part of that conversation.

1

YOUR GOALS

You’re saving for a shared retirement, so it only makes sense to talk about what that looks like.

“The biggest thing is actually having a plan, and most people don’t,” says Scott Frank of Stone Steps Financial in Encinitas, Calif. “What are you going to do?

Where are you going to live? How much are you going to be spending?”

Not only is that kind of planning key to how much you need to save — aiming to replace 80% of your pre-retirement income is a good place to start — it also makes the process more fun. Saving for retirement isn’t exciting, but saving so you can retire on the beach is.

2

YOUR ACCOUNT CHOICES

Once you know how much you need to save, it’s about where you save.

“You’re going to retire as a cou-

ple, so look at all of your available retirement savings options as a couple,” says Larry McClanahan of SecondHalf Planning and Investment in Clackamas, Ore. If you have a limited pool of money to save for retirement — as most people do — and one spouse has access to a 401(k) with matching dollars, that account is the top priority for both of you. If you each receive an employer match, aim to contribute enough to your individual accounts to fully capture both.

Then you can consider other options: non-matched employersponsored plans and Roth or traditional IRAs.

3

TAXES

Along with employer-matching dollars, taxes should be high on the list of considerations when choosing where you should collectively save.

“The ideal situation is for a couple to transition into retirement with significant retirement resources of different tax treat-

ment,” McClanahan says.

That requires a strategy so that you get to retirement with taxdeferred funds in traditional IRAs and 401(k)s, tax-free funds in Roth accounts and — if necessary — already-taxed funds in a brokerage account.

Doing so will allow you to mix and match your distributions in retirement, minimizing your tax burden as much as possible.

Keep in mind that if you have an employer-sponsored retirement plan, it may limit your ability to deduct traditional IRA contributions from your taxes, which could make a Roth IRA more favorable.

However, in 2016, eligibility to contribute to a Roth begins phasing out at an adjusted gross income of $184,000 for those married and filing jointly.

BENEFICIARY DESIGNATIONS

You’ve heard these horror stories in the news: Joe Millionaire forgets to update his beneficiary designations, accidentally leaving a

TIPS ON COMBINING A TRADITIONAL IRA AND A 401(K) In 2016, you can each contribute up to $5,500 to a traditional IRA ($6,500 if you are 50 or older). But if you or your spouse is covered by a retirement plan at work, your ability to deduct those contributions may be phased out.

If you have an employer retirement plan, you can deduct the full contribution if you have a modified adjusted gross income of $98,000 or less.

If your spouse has an employer retirement plan, you can deduct the full contribution if your modified adjusted gross income is $184,000 or less.

fat 401(k) to his ex-wife.

The lesson is applicable for average Joes, too. The beneficiaries on your retirement accounts and life insurance trump your will.

Keep those designations up-to-date.

5

PLAN FOR TOUGH TIMES

Couples don’t just fail to plan for retirement together; many fail to talk about money, period. According to Fidelity, a quarter of couples disagree on the amount of their households’ investable assets, and 43% couldn’t identify their spouse’s salary.

This is a mistake for many reasons, but here’s a big one: If your spouse dies prematurely, or you divorce, you don’t want to be left alone in the dark. You both hope those things never come, but you each need to know how and where your money is invested, along with important details like account logins and where paperwork is kept.

And while retirement assets would likely be divvied up in a divorce, both spouses should be actively saving, if possible. Even a non-working spouse can still save for retirement in an IRA, as long as you file a joint tax return.

This may be an especially tough part of your romantic kitchen table conversation, but remember that you’re both in this together, for the long term.

What to ask for when you get a new job

Hint: Once the offer comes in, negotiations should be about more than just about money Charisse Jones USA TODAY

As the economy picks up steam, a growing number of people are seeking — and nabbing — new jobs.

A CareerBuilder survey found that at the end of 2015, 21% of workers were planning to leave their current companies this year, a 5% uptick over 2014.

Once there’s an offer on the table, you might want to consider what perks you’d like to ask for as you head in the door.

“I think it’s important to negotiate your salary,” says Andy Decker, senior regional president for global staffing firm Robert Half. “But beyond salary, there are other things a company could offer.”

The movement on the job front comes after the deep freeze during the recession, when unemployment spiked and those who were able to hold onto their jobs often chose to stay put for fear they’d be unable to find anything else.

“Certainly during the recession ... people were just happy to GETTY IMAGES/ISTOCKPHOTO have jobs,” Decker says. “CompaTwo perks to consider could nies also didn’t have the same business outlooks that they have be assistance paying for parknow, and because they knew em- ing and extra vacation time.

ployees didn’t have many options, internally a lot of companies stopped increasing salaries. So people would end up five or six years in a job without an increase.”

But times have changed.

“We ended 2015 with a nearrecord 5.4 million job openings, giving workers added comfort to move forward with plans to improve their current positions and find different opportunities,” Rosemary Haefner, chief human resources officer for CareerBuilder, said in an email.

SHOW ME THE MONEY

Once that new gig appears, “it’s important to have all the information on the table before you accept or reject an offer,” Haef ner says. “It’s OK to ask questions such as ... will there be a sign-on bonus? How will I be evaluated, and will there be an increase based on that evaluation?”

Negotiating your salary might seem like a no-brainer, but many people are skittish about broaching the topic. A Robert Half survey last year of more than 1,000 adults found that while 66% of respondents were comfortable speaking in public, only 61% felt a similar confidence when it came to negotiating pay at a new job.

And many workers don’t even know what their peers are earning. The survey found that only 59% of professionals had com-

pared their pay to general market rates in the past year, and 27% had never checked.

“Ask for what you believe you’re worth, but do some research,” Decker says. “Use tools like Indeed.com that have postings. Look at jobs in your area to see what jobs are paying. ... Come prepared with stats.”

“It’s OK to ask questions such as ... how will I be evaluated, and will there be an increase based on that evaluation?”

Rosemary Haefner, chief human resources officer for CareerBuilder

Haefner adds that when talking dollars and cents, you might want to repeat points that likely came up during your job interview. But, ultimately, it’s good to be flexible. “Remind the employer of the experience and education you have and why you are worth more,” she says, “but understand the employer’s restraints. There may be a salary cap that no amount of negotiation can loosen.”

OTHER PERKS TO DISCUSS

And consider discussing more than salary. For instance, Decker

says, you might want to discuss being able to telecommute occasionally if you have a lengthy commute or having a staggered work schedule that allows you to start and leave earlier in the day.

“I’ve seen a number of companies who are going to having four 10-hour days so employees only have to work four days a week,” he says.

Other perks worth bringing up? How about assistance paying for parking or extra vacation time?

When negotiating, your delivery can be key. “It’s important to convey your excitement about the opportunity and joining the company,” Decker says. Then, launch into queries about whether there is flexibility on issues that are important to you.

What matters to one person may not be so important to another. If you are working toward your CPA, getting financial assistance or being able to take time off for courses without tapping into your vacation days might mean more than having subsidized parking, Decker says.

Whatever deals are finally made, make sure that they are in writing. “It’s a good idea that all the things you negotiate end up in your offer letter somewhere,” Decker says.

And if the company doesn’t issue a formal letter, send an email to your new employer, noting what was agreed to.

Kansas completes Sunflower sweep

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Manhattan — Frank Mason III looked into the stands and screamed joyfully as Brannen Greene and Devonté Graham playfully wrestled with each other on the ground as they chased the final defensive rebound with three seconds left in Kansas University’s huge

72-63 victory over rival Kansas State on Saturday in Bramlage Coliseum.

The victory not only gave KU (23-4, 11-3) a two-game lead over West Virginia, Oklahoma and Baylor in the Big 12 race with four games to play, but marked the firstever “W” in Bramlage for KU’s juniors, sophomores and freshmen.

“I was just happy. We

never had a win here since I’ve been here at KU. I was just saying, ‘Let’s go!’ I was happy at the time,” Mason said of his G-rated statement to the 12,528 fans issued after scoring 16 points with five assists, two steals and one turnover in 33 minutes.

The 5-foot-11 junior guard from Petersburg, Va., scored the final seven points of a

14-0 run that turned an early-yet-significant 25-21 deficit into a 10-point lead with 2:26 left in the first half.

The hard-earned victory — KU saw a 17-point second-half lead dip to three before Graham helped save the day by scoring six points (his only points of the day) in the final 1:44 — silenced a crazed KSU crowd. It was one that, urged by pregame

comments from Justin Edwards (11 points) and Wesley Iwundu (eight points), hoped to storm the court on Kansas for a third straight season.

“We are tired of people storming the court on us.

It’s in our minds to not let that happen,” said KU senior forward Jamari Traylor (six points, including a vicious Please see KANSAS, page 4C

Lucas difference-maker in post for Jayhawks

Manhattan — No need for the great minds of our time to take a break from searching for the meaning of life to figure out the primary reason Kansas State played so much better in the second half than the first Saturday night in wild Bramlage Coliseum.

No, not the whistles.

Not even Perry Ellis suffering a gash to the head that required stitches and a scratch to the eye that is cause for concern, at least until an eye doctor examines it.

Not half-time speeches.

Not the spirited crowd fueling the home team with energy, which it most

certainly did in impressive fashion.

The biggest reason the same K-State team that trailed by 10 points at halftime threw a second-half scare into the Jayhawks before losing, 72-63, is quite easy to identify.

Fourth-year Kansas junior post man Landen Lu-

cas played 10 minutes in the first half, and K-State wide bodies D.J. Johnson and Stephen Hurt combined for five points. Lucas played three second-half minutes before fouling out, and KState’s two hulks combined for 19 points.

Firebird Portela class of state again

FREE STATE’S JORDAN PORTELA SWIMS to a state title in the 200-yard freestyle on Saturday in Topeka. Portela also won the 100 fly, swam on the winning 200-yard medley relay team and was named swimmer of the meet.

Topeka — At the Class 6A state swimming and diving championships, there’s Free State High junior Jordan Portela, and then there’s everybody else.

Portela dominated the state meet for the third straight year, winning state titles in the 200-yard freestyle and 100 butterfly for the third time on Saturday at Capitol Federal Natatorium.

He received a standing ovation from the crowd

when he broke his own state record in the 100 fly in 49.44 seconds. An eight-time state champion in his three-year career, Portela earned his third straight Athlete-ofthe-Meet honor.

Portela’s performance led the Firebirds to third place in the team standings for the second straight year with 245 points. Shawnee Mission East won the team title with 384.5 points.

“Hasn’t that just been a compliment to his ability and him as a person?” FSHS coach Annette McDonald said of Portela’s Athlete-

of-the-Meet award. “He’s just a really super, polite, great guy all around, always wishing everybody the best.

But he definitely stands out among everybody.”

The Firebirds opened the meet with a victory in the 200 medley relay — Portela, sophomore Evan Eskilson, junior Evan Yoder and senior Carson Ziegler. Portela swam his leg of the butterfly in 21.93 seconds, 1.49 seconds faster than anybody else, and Ziegler held off Blue Valley North in the last leg for the victory. Ziegler celebrated by picking up

and hugging his teammates, then he did a fist pump on the medal podium.

“On our relays, we’re just like, ‘Oh, we have to get Jordan in within two seconds (of our opponent),’ and then we know we’re going to win it,” Eskilson said. “Having someone of that caliber is hard to describe, that’s for sure.”

In the next event, the 200 freestyle, Portela won but fell more than a second short of his goal of breaking the state record.

Police concluding case against Manziel Dallas — Dallas police say they could conclude their domestic-violence investigation of Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel by late next week.

Police spokesman Maj. Midge Boyle said Saturday that investigators have reviewed medical records provided by Colleen Crowley, Manziel’s ex-girlfriend.

Crowley told police Manziel hit her and dragged her into a car in late January.

Manziel hasn’t been charged, but a judge has issued Crowley a protection order against him.

Police haven’t interviewed Manziel, but spoke to several other witnesses. Boyle says police want to have their strongest case against Manziel before speaking to him.

Some defense lawyers have questioned whether Manziel is getting special treatment and another suspect facing similar allegations might already have been arrested. Boyle said the detective investigating the allegations “hasn’t gotten all the facts yet.”

“She’s still putting the case together,” Boyle said. “It’s been two weeks since this investigation started, and it is high-profile.”

“As soon as we have something pertinent to put out, we will let you know,” she said.

A Heisman Trophy winner at Texas A&M, Manziel has had several incidents of trouble in the NFL. The Browns have indicated they will release him next month.

Crowley said in an affidavit filed with the judge who issued the protective order that Manziel hit her so hard that she temporarily lost hearing in one ear.

BUBBA WATSON TEES OFF ON THE 18TH HOLE DURING THE THIRD ROUND of the Northern Trust Open golf tournament on Saturday in the Pacific Palisades section of Los Angeles.

Watson takes Northern Trust lead; Woodland eight back Los Angeles — Bubba Watson saved par from near a concession stand to the right and down the hill from the 18th green Saturday at Riviera and shot a 4-under 67 to build a oneshot lead in the Northern Trust Open.

Watson will be going for his second victory in three years at Riviera.

There is no shortage of stars trying to catch him. The 10 players within three shots of the lead include Dustin Johnson and Rory McIlroy, Adam Scott and Hideki Matsuyama.

“Knowing that I’ve won here and knowing that I can play around here, obviously I have a little bit of an advantage on the guy that probably hasn’t won here,” Watson said.

He was at 12-under 201, one shot ahead of Johnson, Jason Kokrak and Chez Reavie.

Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland shot a 2-under 69 and is 4-under par for the tournament in a tie for 34th place.

Kokrak, the 36-hole leader, made three birdies on the back nine to salvage a 70 and remain in the final group. Reavie had a three-shot lead at one point on the back nine, courtesy of a perfectly placed drive that led to eagle on No. 2.

But he missed a pair of eight-foot par putts on consecutive holes and had to settle for a 69.

For all the birdies, the final round was shaped largely by pars on the 18th hole.

McIlroy, making his debut at Riviera, made three birdies on the back nine to reach 10 under when he pushed his tee shot too far right on the 18th for the second straight day. This time, he played too much of a fade around the eucalyptus trees, and it tumbled down the hill next

to the concessions stand. His chip raced by the hole, leaving a downhill par putt form 18 feet that he made for par.

“That’s one of the loudest cheers I’ve had in a while,” McIlroy said. “It would be nice to hear something like that again tomorrow.”

He shot 67 and was two shots behind, a group that included Scott (67), UCLA alum Kevin Chappell (66), the resurgent K.J. Choi (67) and Marc Leishman (68).

Watson’s par from about the same area was even better.

Watson took the lead with a simple up-anddown from just short of the par-5 17th, but from the left rough, he hooked his approach down the hill on the 18th. He was able to clip the ball perfectly, and it checked up just 3 feet above the hole.

“The joke was when I got on the green ... I said, ‘Who cares about the shot? I’ve got to make this par putt or it’s not worth anything,’” Watson said. “That was the toughest part because nobody expected me to hit the shot that good, and then everybody expects you to make the putt. Would be kind of lost if I missed that putt.”

Matsuyama, who won in Phoenix two weeks ago, made five birdies on the front nine to get into the mix, only to put four 5s on his card on the back nine. He shot 68 and was three shots behind, along with Troy Merritt (70).

It’s still wide open, even with the experience at the top of Watson and Riviera, and the experience of winning anywhere by McIlroy, who’s at No. 3 in the world.

Paul Millsap finished with 27 points, and Dennis Schroder had 25 for the Hawks. Atlanta has lost three straight at home for the first time since March 2014.

The Bucks overcame the late absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo, who fouled out with 1:11 left in regulation, and held on despite Monroe missing a layup that could’ve clinched the win in the closing seconds of the first overtime.

KU women scare OU but fall, 72-66 BOX SCORE

By Mac Moore Special to the Journal-World

After having one of its worst showings in a 26-point shellacking against TCU on Wednesday night, it was hard to imagine how the Kansas University women’s basketball team would respond against Oklahoma.

The Jayhawks played one of their best games of the season, falling to the Sooners, 72-66, Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse.

“We had a come-toJesus meeting the other day in the film room,” KU guard Lauren Aldridge said. “It was just about how we had to represent ourselves and represent this university.”

By the end of the first quarter, the Jayhawks held a nine-point advantage, as Aldridge (20 points, seven assists) and junior guard Timeka O’Neal (15 points, three assists) were uncontainable from the behind the three-point line. O’Neal was 3-for-3 from three in the first quarter, 5-for-8 for the game.

The Jayhawks (5-21 overall, 0-14 Big 12) held a surprising 28-18 lead halfway through the second quarter. The Jayhawks were in the driver’s seat until Aldridge turned her ankle with 5:37 remaining in the first half.

Aldridge did not return until the 1:49 mark.

“It was too long,” KU coach Brandon Schneider said.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY’S LAUREN ALDRIDGE, RIGHT, moves the ball under pressure from Oklahoma’s T’ona Edwards. OU defeated the Jayhawks, 72-66, on Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse.

The Sooners switched their game plan to take advantage and slow down the hot-shooting Jayhawks.

“We had to go to the half-court trap because we couldn’t guard them in man,” OU coach Sherri Coale said. “We couldn’t.

We got hit with multiple screens and closed out short and shy and shallow on shooters. That

defense saved us because it stretched those shooters.”

The Jayhawks struggled offensively for the final six minutes of the first half as OU methodically chiseled away at the lead. The Sooners scored 17 unanswered points and took a 35-28 lead into halftime. OU forward Vionise PierreLouis (20 points, four

rebounds) crushed the Jayhawks in the paint, scoring 8-of-9 for the game.

“I feel like when we were playing really good defense, it created good offense for us,” Schneider said. “We played with a little more pop. In those stretches when they were kind of pumping it inside, we were letting it in there too easy. I think that is

what deflated our offense a little bit.”

The game followed a pattern of the Sooners going on extended scoring runs, only for the Jayhawks to shave the lead back down.

Late in the game, KU missed three straight bas-

kets and allowed the lead to balloon to 65-57. But O’Neal found Aldridge wide-open for three with 2:45 remaining.

The two teammates were clearly in sync.

O’Neal was quiet about her big game in front of the microphone, but Aldridge said O’Neal was vocal during a late-game timeout.

“She looked at me and said, ‘Hand down, man down,’” Aldridge said. “I said, ‘You and me both, girl.’ … Whenever you have another teammate that’s hot, it’s fun to feed them.”

Aldridge nailed a long two with only a minute remaining to bring the Jayhawks within a basket, 66-64. The 5,000-person crowd started booming.

The Jayhawks benefited from an unusually large crowd. Fans showed up for the “Jayhawks for a Cure” game, an annual event to raise money and awareness for cancer treatment and research at Lawrence Memorial Hospital and the KU Cancer Center.

The crowd boost would not be enough.

The Jayhawks ultimately lost after once again going cold on the offensive end. The Sooners continued to knock down free throws as the Jayhawks intentionally fouled to keep the game going.

KU will play Oklahoma State on Wednesday in Stillwater, Okla. The game will be KU’s second-to-last away game of the regular season.

KSU coach campaigns for … Ellis

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

KANSAS STATE COACH BRUCE WEBER GETS THE ATTENTION of his defense during the second half.

Manhattan — Disappointed by yet another hard-fought loss, and second to Kansas University during this trying Kansas State men’s basketball season, KSU coach Bruce Weber took a moment after Saturday’s 72-63 Sunflower Showdown setback at Bramlage Coliseum to sound off about some bigger-picture Big 12 issues.

When one team, in this case Kansas, takes a two-game lead in the conference race with four games to play, it becomes time to talk about these sorts of things.

And Weber had no problem doing so, even if his claims were a little unconventional and unprompted.

“To me, if they win the league, (Perry) Ellis should be (Big 12) player of the year,” Weber said of KU’s senior forward. “I know (Oklahoma guard)

Buddy (Hield) may be national player of the year, but Perry should be the (Big 12) player of the year.

You know, if you win the league, and you take your team to the championship, you should be the MVP. That’s what it’s about.”

Never was Ellis’ importance to this Kansas team (23-4 overall, 11-3 Big 12) or the Big 12 Conference race, which KU now leads by two games thanks to Oklahoma’s Saturday win at West Virginia, more evident to Weber than during a second-half stretch in which K-State trimmed a 17-point Kansas lead to three At the time, Ellis was in the locker room getting a dozen stitches on his head and dealing with a scratch on his eye.

There certainly were elements other than Ellis’ absence that allowed KState (15-12, 4-10) to crawl back into the game, but Weber did not shy away from expressing what a

huge break Ellis’ medium-sized gash was for the Wildcats.

“I hope people appreciate how good he is,” said Weber of Ellis, who finished with 14 points on 4-of-6 shooting in 30 minutes. “Because, when he’s not in the game, it sure makes a difference.

I promise you, I’d rather play them without him any time.”

However, more than Ellis’ impact, the K-State coach, who a few weeks ago in Lawrence joked about wanting to go to Ellis’ graduation party so he knew definitively he would never have to coach against him again, said it was KU’s roster of weapons that made the Jayhawks so tough to take down.

KU’s biggest gun Saturday was junior guard Frank Mason III, who single-handedly took over a stretch late in the first half that turned a four-point KSU lead into a 10-point Kansas advantage.

“It seems like different

guys pick it up for them,” Weber said. “(Sophomore guard Devonté) Graham’s been playing special, and he didn’t have (a big) game, so Frank picked it up. ... The stretch right before the half was probably the difference in the game.”

For K-State, which KU coach Bill Self said easily could have won four more conference games this season and been right in the thick of the NCAA Tournament talk, the missed opportunities and inability to take that final step through the door currently is haunting them.

“We cut it to three,” KSU senior Stephen Hurt (13 points, nine rebounds) said. “We had our chance.

We just have to execute a little bit better.”

Added senior guard Justin Edwards: “Obviously, it sucks. When we spot teams a lot of points like that, it’s hard to come back. Especially (against) good teams.”

We’ve hunkered down and come out swinging.

“All our juniors ... to finally come in here and win is a great feeling,” added Traylor, who fouled out with 1:19 left, joining Landen Lucas (seven points, eight boards) on the bench as the junior forward was whistled for his fifth with 2:11 remaining. Also, Perry Ellis (14 points) played just 13 minutes the second half after suffering a cut on his head that needed 12 stitches to close, as well as a scratched eye.

“We’ve had a lot of momentum the last few games and wanted to keep it going for the next game,” Traylor said after KU’s seventh straight victory.

KU’s 52-35 lead with 14:46 left dipped to just three points (63-60) when Edwards hit a driving layup at 2:45. Wayne Selden Jr. (12 points) scored off a Mason miss at 2:22, yet D.J. Johnson responded with two free throws at 2:11, cutting KU’s lead to 65-62.

“Devonté, who had a goose egg (at the time), hits the biggest shot of the game,” KU coach Bill Self said.

KSU’s Johnson, who was 9-of-10 from the line, went 1-for-2 at 1:19, and KU still led by four.

Next came a crucial defensive play by Hunter Mickelson. The 6-11 senior, who played five minutes the second half, came from down low to guard Johnson, getting his hand on the ball 12 feet from the goal. The ball kicked off Johnson out of bounds, and KU

had the ball, up four at :43.1. Graham followed with a pair of charities at :30.6 and :20.1, and KU had the game in the bag.

“Hunter came in and made a great play deflecting that ball,” Traylor said. “If you do that, you’ve got to get the ball (or it’ll be dunk). Johnson was going great at the time. He was getting buckets on the low block, getting to the line. It was a great play by Hunter getting it out of his hands.”

Of Mickelson’s play, Self said: “We say it all the time: ‘You can’t fish and miss.’ If he missed, it’s a layup or dunk. Fortunately, Hunter was able to hit it off him. It may

have been the biggest defensive play of the game.”

KU also received a big effort from sophomore Svi Mykhailiuk, who, after playing seven minutes total in the last three games, scored nine points. He hit three of four threes in 20 minutes, making two the first half as KU led, 39-29, at intermission.

Overall, KU hit 50 percent of its shots and went 6-of-18 from three and 18of-30 from the free-throw line. K-State, which received 13 points from Barry Brown and Stephen Hurt, hit 37.7 percent of its shots.

When Lucas is on the floor, Kansas has an answer for big, powerful bodies. When he has a seat on the bench, the opposition’s muscle turns into a shark smelling blood and is targeted by teammates at the insistence of the coach.

Lucas, armed with smarts and strength, has developed into that important a player for the Jayhawks (23-4 overall, 11-3 in the Big 12), the nation’s second-ranked basketball team.

The more crowded the lane grows, the more subtle body shots are exchanged, the more it enters Lucas’ wheelhouse.

The intensity of this one was made for Lucas.

He played just 13 minutes of it, which was time enough for Kansas State to look for ways other than pounding it inside to score when he was out there and time We enough need for Lucas to contrib- somebody ute seven in there points, to do the eight dirty work, rebounds to be real and a blocked candid shot. Four with you. ” of the rebounds — KU coach came at the offen- Bill Self sive end.

“Landen plays 13 minutes and gets eight rebounds,” appreciative KU coach Bill Self said. “Perry plays 30 minutes and gets two.

We need somebody in there to do the dirty work, to be real candid with you. (Jamari Traylor) would love to do it and try to do it, but he’s not big enough some of the time.”

Self said that two of Lucas’ fouls came as the result of defensive lapses elsewhere that put him in a bad position.

Lucas chided himself for what he called “a silly” first foul. During his days as a reserve, Lucas didn’t have to worry about counting his fouls.

Different story now.

“He’s become very, very important to us,” Self said.

Lucas, who stands 6-foot-10 and weighs 240 pounds, said that his first choice was to play football, but before he reached high school his height led him in a direction that made more sense.

“That might be one of the reasons contact is something I’ve always enjoyed (as a basketball player),” Lucas said. “It hurts me sometimes.

I’ll be playing against a team that’s not that physical, and I’ll be expecting contact, and it’s not there. I feel more comfortable playing in a game with a lot of contact.”

In the 13 minutes Lucas was on the floor, Kansas outscored its in-state rival by 15 points. In the 27 minutes Lucas sat, Kansas State had a six-point advantage. The difference in the feel of the game was every bit as noticeable as the numbers indicate.

“It helps when we get Lucas in some foul trouble and then Ellis isn’t in there,” Kansas State coach Bruce Weber said. “We thought we could take advantage of their big young guys, and D.J. and Stephen did that. Those two guys, along with Justin (Edwards), really got us going in the second half.”

It took years of work for him to reach the point that Lucas was mentioned in the same breath by a coach as Ellis, which has to make it all the more gratifying for the big man.

Manhattan — Because of a cut on his head that required 12 stitches to close, Kansas University senior Perry Ellis missed a six-minute stretch of the second half in which the Jayhawks saw a 14-point lead dip to seven against Kansas State in Bramlage Coliseum.

The 6-foot-8 Wichita native helped steady the ship upon his return before getting hurt again.

This time, Wayne Selden Jr. hit Ellis in the face, scratching Ellis’ eye.

“Right in the top of his head,” KU coach Bill Self said of where Ellis had stitches sewn in KU’s locker room by KU medical personnel.

“The serious deal is Wayne scratched him in the eye. We’ll have the eye doctor look at it. They hope it’s just a scratch. It that’s the case, he should be OK. If it’s a scratch, it’ll heal up in a day or two. If it’s something more severe, he may be in goggles or something,” Self added. “We think he’ll be fine. He doesn’t feel real good right now.”

Ellis finished with 14 points and two boards while playing 30 minutes in KU’s 72-63 win over Kansas State.

“Perry was able to come back, and that mentally helped us a lot,” senior forward Jamari Traylor said.

No. 5 North Carolina 96, No. 11 Miami 71 Chapel Hill, N.C. — Brice Johnson had 16 points and 15 rebounds as North Carolina regrouped from an emotional loss to rival Duke.

Justin Jackson added 15 points for the Tar Heels (22-5, 11-3 Atlantic Coast Conference), who opened the second half on a 10-0 burst to turn this into blowout. North Carolina shot 54 percent and shut down Miami at every turn while leading by as many as 38 points.

The Tar Heels were coming off a crushing 7473 loss to the Blue Devils, a game in which they led nearly all night only to lose control in the final three minutes. And that allowed the Hurricanes (21-5, 10-4) to climb into a first-place tie in the conference and set up a critical game in a wide-open league title chase.

No. 8 Xavier 88, Georgetown 70 Washington — Xavier broke open a tight game by making 12 of its first 13 shots after halftime, and Edmond Sumner finished with 22 points.

Xavier (24-3, 12-3 Big East) played far better than during a home loss to Georgetown a month ago.

After shooting only 35 percent in that setback, the Musketeers wound up at 54 percent Saturday, including the nearperfect stretch to open the second half. After leading 35-33 at halftime, Xavier scored 13 consecutive points coming out of the break.

Georgetown (1414, 7-8) has lost three straight and six of seven.

The Hoyas were led by D’Vauntes Smith-Rivera with 18 points.

FROM LEFT, VILLANOVA’S KEVIN RAFFERTY, RYAN ARCIDIACONO, Daniel Ochefu, Henry Lowe and Patrick Farrell celebrate after their 77-67 win over Butler on Saturday in Villanova, Pa. Texas A&M 79, No. 14 Kentucky 77, OT College Station, Texas — Tyler Davis’ putback at the buzzer gave Texas A&M a win over Kentucky after a technical foul on Isaac Humphries cost the Wildcats the lead in the final seconds.

With the clock winding down, Danuel House drove into traffic and missed a contested shot that hit the front of the rim.

The ball caromed directly to Davis, who grabbed the rebound and banked in a layup as time expired.

Anthony Collins missed a shot, and Humphries pulled down the rebound.

But after the Aggies fouled him, he slammed the ball to the court and was whistled for a technical that fouled him out.

Adams’ three-pointer with 36 seconds to go snapped a 72-72 tie. He added four free throws in the closing seconds to help the Bonnies (18-7, 10-4 Atlantic 10) pull off an improbable win.

The Flyers (21-5, 11-3) were coming off a 79-70 loss at Saint Joseph’s on Wednesday. They hadn’t lost consecutive games in their last 77, the third-longest active streak behind Villanova and Kansas.

Louisville trailed 4431 with 17:10 remaining before battling back and using an 8-0 run with consecutive threes by Lee and a slam by Jaylen Johnson for a 58-55 lead.

Lee added another longrange shot, and Johnson made a jumper to make it 63-59 before a final gamechanging sequence for the Cardinals (21-6, 10-4 Atlantic Coast Conference).

Officials then whistled Duke guard Grayson Allen for charging — his fifth foul — and assessed him a subsequent technical foul for arguing the call.

Royals, Kennedy good match Surprise, Ariz. (ap) — Ian Kennedy is liking the way things look with the Kansas City Royals.

Kennedy was the Royals’ most expensive freeagent offseason addition, signing a five-year, $70 million contract last month with the defending World Series champs. That is the most money the Royals have ever given a pitcher.

“They make it real easy on me,” Kennedy said of fitting in with his teammates. “These guys are really close. You can’t help but be close, going to the World Series backto-back years.

“It seems like they have really good relationships.

They are buddies. They are friends. They just happen to play baseball together. So it’s an easy environment for me to walk in. They make like you’ve played with them before. I’ve never met some of these guys, but they make you feel pretty comfortable.”

Kennedy went 9-15 with a 4.28 ERA in 30 starts last season with the San Diego Padres.

“It started out pretty rough,” Kennedy said.

Kennedy had a 7.15 ERA in his first eight starts, allowing 12 home runs in

39 innings. He exited his first start in the third inning with a strained left hamstring and landed on the disabled list for the first time since 2009.

Kennedy returned to the rotation on April 25 and gave up eight runs on eight hits.

Once over the hamstring issue, Kennedy comprised a 2.31 ERA in June, 3.38 in July and 2.30 in August.

“I kind of looked at my season from June on,” Kennedy said. “After June came, I felt normal again, like I felt out of synch every other start until June and (then) I felt really good.”

LAWRENCE ARTIST DAVE LOEWENSTEIN WORKS ON A MURAL IN JOPLIN, MO., IN THIS IMAGE FROM “CALLED TO WALLS.” The film explores the role of public art in Heartland communities such as Joplin, Tonkawa, Okla.; Arkadelphia, Ark.; and Newton, Kan.

WALLS THAT TALK

Local artists’ murals tell small-town tales in new film

By Joanna Hlavacek lll

Twitter: @HlavacekJoanna

I

n Joplin, Mo., there is a mural stretching about 60 feet across the side of an old brick building near the intersection of 15th and Main streets.

Its imagery is colorful and childlike. Representations of historical Joplin transition to butterflies, flowers and kids at play interspersed with less cheerful images — barren trees, destroyed buildings, ominous clouds — before giving way to a phoenix triumphantly soaring toward the sun.

Near the mural’s upper right corner reads a quote from Langston Hughes: “And trees put forth new leaves to sing in joy beneath the sky.”

Dedicated in September 2011 — just four months after an EF-5 tornado ripped through Joplin, destroying onethird of the town and claiming the lives of more than 150 people — the mural has since become a symbol of hope and rebirth to the community.

But when Lawrence artists Dave Loewenstein, Nicholas Ward and Amber Hansen traveled to Joplin just a month after the tornado to begin work on the project, there was uncertainty — not from the residents, Hansen remembers,

LEFT: KIDS IN NEWTON GET A LIFT AS THEY HELP PAINT A MURAL celebrating the town’s history and imagined future in “Called to Walls.” ABOVE: Muralist Dave Loewenstein works with his paints.

At a very basic level, what all these projects have in common is they’re being (presented) with a question of, ‘How do you feel, imagine, see the narrative or the place you live, and what does it look like?’”

— Nicholas Ward, artist

but from the artists themselves.

As outsiders, they thought, is it really our place, or the time, to enlist the community in this effort? When talk around town still focused on rebuilding lost homes, when the mural site was only a few blocks away from some of the storm’s worst destruction?

“The significance of painting on that wall was intensified, and partly because it was shortly after the tornado,”

says Hansen, who, along with fellow mural assistant and fiance Ward, chronicled the experience in their first feature-length documentary, “Called to Walls.”

Joplin’s is one of four community mural projects (among them Tonkawa, Okla.; Newton, Kan.; and Arkadelphia, Ark.) featured in the film, which makes its Lawrence premiere Saturday at Liberty Hall.

The filmmakers, Loewenstein, Tonkawa project coordinator Audrey Schmitz, Rocket Grants program coordinator Julia Cole and writer/activist Arlene Goldbard will take part in a panel discussion after the screening, followed by an after-party at Decade coffee shop with live music from No Magic and Invisible Public Library.

Funded partially by the Mid-America Arts Alliance, with a little help from Kickstarter and the filmmakers’ own wallets, “Called to Walls” documents a particular brand of art far removed from slick urban spaces, hip galleries and prestigious museums.

SHELF LIFE

Library has reads, seeds for gardeners

F

or many seasons I’ve spent my life in the dirt, alongside friends and family, tending plants and cultivating memories. About this time each year when winter hints at warmer, sunnier days, my mind begins to drift once again toward dreams of overflowing garden beds and caches of endless varieties of seeds to start.

This time of year also reminds me of the many reasons I tend whatever patch of soil I can lay claim to. Among them is the fact that I garden to remember, but then again, also to forget.

Like many gardeners, the cycle of sowing, raising, reaping, and resting yields much more than fruit or foliage —its greatest rewards are the moments captured like still frame shots in our memory.

Some memories we want to keep: helping my husband’s grandfather plant pepper starts in his legacy garden; the many hand-held tours of my grandmother’s plot, her glee in showing and sharing the harvest; tiny hands reaching, stealing cherry tomatoes, tiny feet running on garden paths.

Other memories we allow ourselves to forget: humid summer days bent over in the scorching sun pulling weeds; the legions of creatures at odds with our carefully crafted garden plans: rabbits, squash bugs, grasshoppers and the like.

Our recollection fades when we begin in spring with freshly composted beds full of possibil-

ity. The weeds, the work, the wrestling with what the coming year’s growing season will bring are no competition for the gardener’s growing faith in the process of planting seeds.

Author Tara Austen Weaver understands the ethereal quality of a life lived and remembered in a garden. She suspends a history of a broken family, deep personal connections, healing and renewal amid the gardens of her past, present and future in her memoir “Orchard House.”

Writing from a place of honest reflection, Weaver sifts through her painful memories of a lonely and demanding childhood, the fluctuating challenges of her adult life, and the life that she hopes to build along with her mother, brother and nieces. Blending these elements of her life into the story of her garden is natural for Weaver as an experienced master gardener, permaculturist and environmental writer.

Set in Seattle and northern California, the book relates the slow-food sustainability ideals of the current horticultural movement. Weaver describes

how she favors homemade pickles and dried apples from her own making to anything she could buy at the local supermarket. Her connection with the city, the culture and the climate of the Pacific Northwest leaves you nearly tasting the dank earth and hearing the convivial chatter at the community garden. But it is her truth-telling experience of trial and failure at both life and leaf that is most endearing, heart rendering and relatable.

The memories laid bare in Weaver’s memoir connect her to the greater calling of growing green things that has been shared by the existence of humanity.

In her words, in “the dark garden under a dim quarter moon, planting as so many had before me, there was no other place on earth I wanted to be.”

Her journey ebbs and flows in tandem with the course of the gardens in her life, their unique characters meshed with her experience of the world and her place in it. So true is the notion that the fruit of her labor is legitimately the measure of her success in both the garden, her family and her life.

Weaver aptly recognizes that

in order to reap the treasured memories that secretly grow in the garden over time, you must first be brave enough to create something new: “There is audacity to creation, whether you are designing a new house, a new life or a new garden bed. There must be an overriding belief in your own worth — and in a world benevolent enough to make room for your vision.” Our garden memories bear witness to our bravery, one seed at a time.

If you’ve been caught up by this heady mixture of seed, soil and remembrance, find more amazing garden memoirs here: l “Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life”

by Barbara Kingsolver l “Gathering: Memoir of a Seed Saver” by Diane Ott Whealy l “Just Vegetating: A Memoir” by Joy Larkcom l “Farm City: The Education of An Urban Farmer” by Novella Carpenter And if you’re brave enough to make some garden memories of your own, be sure to stop by the Lawrence Public Library’s Seed Library, which kicked off Thursday and should last through the early planting season. There will be plenty of flower, herb and vegetable seeds to get your green on, as well as a fine accompaniment of events, programs and resources to keep you growing.

“At a very basic level, what all these projects have in common is they’re being (presented) with a question of, ‘How do you feel, imagine, see the narrative or the place you live, and what does it look like?’ Let’s start from there,” Ward says.

“That’s a really amazing way to start dialogue in a group of people, and it’s a question that isn’t asked very often.”

On the first day of painting in Joplin, led by Loewenstein, somewhere around 100 volunteers showed up to help. Support remained strong, even on the last day.

“It was really important to them to add their mark to the wall,” Hansen says.

“That was transformative for me to see.”

A children’s choir from a local church sang Bob Marley’s “Three Little Birds” to commemorate the occasion.

They wanted to screen the film for the people with whom they’d forged these lasting relationships, and they hoped the film would resonate.

“It felt like a homecoming,” says Hansen, who plans, at the invitation of community members, to screen the movie again in Joplin this May, for the fifth anniversary of the tornado.

Daughter needs to deal with in-laws on her own Dear Annie: My 26-year-old daughter has been married to a wonderful, hardworking man for three years.

They have a beautiful child and a nice home.

The problem is my sonin-law’s mother.

This woman has disliked my daughter from day one, and for no discernible reason.

My daughter and her husband tried talking things out with her, but she always returns to her passive-aggressive ways. I try to stay out of it, but it is so hard to watch this woman bring my daughter to tears and try to split this otherwise lovely family apart.

Worse, she has most of the other in-laws on her bandwagon.

I understand my sonin-law is caught between a rock and a hard place, but he never stands behind his wife. When-

ever the two of them are around his parents, he throws my daughter under the bus. We love our son-in-law, but cannot stand to see our daughter and grandchild treated with such disrespect. It is causing a great deal of strain on this new family.

Is there any polite way to deal with this problem without overstepping? — Concerned Mother Dear Mother: We know how hard this must be for you to

Recalling a theme park revolution Derek Hough hosts “The Wonderful World of Disney: Disneyland 60” (7 p.m., ABC, TV-PG). Six decades ago, the grand opening of Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif., was a major television event, hosted by Art Linkletter.

As the recent PBS “American Experience” profile of cartoonist and media innovator Walt Disney reminded us, Disney liked the theme park so much that he often lived upstairs in a building right on its “Main Street,” much like a merchant living above the shop.

Few could have imagined way back in the mid-1950s how much Disneyland and Disney’s later theme parks would revolutionize people’s idea of leisure as destination, education and amusement. Look for performers including Elton John, Tori Kelly, Jessi J, Kelsea Ballerini, Josh Gad and Harrison Ford. Dick Van Dyke, star of the beloved 1964 Disney musical “Mary Poppins,” also appears.

A full week after Valentine’s Day, television is filled with quirky takes on romantic comedy. Netflix launched “Love” on Friday, a 10-episode effort that can be appreciated, or binge-watched, as a fivehour Judd Apatow movie.

“Girls” (9 p.m., HBO, TVMA) enters its fifth and final season with the gang gathering for Marnie’s (Allison Williams) wedding, a collision of bridal jitters, raging emotions, alphamale head games disguised as New Age “bonding,” bad hair, worse makeup and a wistful sense that life itself is on the verge of Really Big Changes.

It also allows Hannah (Lena Dunham) to show off her body in and out of a particularly hideous bridesmaid’s outfit.

“Togetherness” (9:30 p.m., HBO, TV-MA) enters its second season. Not unlike “Love,” this series by the Duplass brothers is set in Los Angeles with characters in “the business,” and is propelled by chatty neurosis as they worry that happily ever after may never arrive.

Tonight’s other highlights

“Great Performances at

the Met” (11 a.m., PBS, check local listings) presents Verdi’s “Otello,” conducted by Yannick Nezet-Seguin and directed by Bartlett Sher.

Scheduled on “60 Minutes” (6 p.m., CBS): the recapture of drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman; Elaine Weinstein, widow of an American killed in a drone strike; a profile of director Danny Boyle.

Homeland insecurity on “Madam Secretary” (7 p.m., CBS, TV-14).

Contests in Nevada and South Carolina loom large on “The Circus: Inside the Greatest Political Show on Earth” (7 p.m., Showtime, TV-14).

watch, but the problem belongs to your daughter, and she must find a way to deal with it. The best thing you can do is offer a sympathetic ear without passing judgment or telling your daughter how to handle her in-laws. But do suggest that she and her husband talk to a professional for guidance.

A counselor will help your daughter develop better techniques to deal with this difficult woman, and also make your son-in-law understand the need to stand up to his parents in defense of his wife.

Dear Annie: I work in an office at a library, and one of my co-workers is continuously babbling and singing loudly. This is distracting and annoying to most of us. “Dwayne” doesn’t sit that close to me, but I can still hear him all of

the time.

Since Dwayne is pretty well-liked by everyone, we’re all uncomfortable asking him to stop the constant noise. Can you think of a nice and/or anonymous way to let him know he is distracting us? — Driving Us Nuts Dear Driving: We suspect Dwayne is unaware that he is constantly making noises, and certainly has no idea that you are all so annoyed.

Dwayne might try to curtail it, but you would have to constantly remind him, and that doesn’t appear to be something you are willing to do. Instead, we recommend you invest in a pair of earbuds.

nsightly scratches on wooden furniture, floors and cabinets are inevitable. Removing a scratch in wood entails sanding and refinishing the entire surface, which can be a daunting and unrealistic task.

Luckily, there are several products designed to help camouflage scratches. l Old English Scratch Cover comes in both a light and dark formula.

Choose one that best matches the wood surface. Pour a little of the liquid onto a soft cloth and wipe the scratched surface. The oil will soak into the exposed wood, giving the entire surface a fresh look.

Do not use Old English Scratch Cover on floors, because it remains slick for an extended period of time. l Tibet Almond Sticks are hard to find, but easy to use. The oil-soaked cotton stick can be rubbed over nicks and scratches to camouflage imperfections. Allow the oils to soak in before using a soft cloth to buff away the remaining residue. l Wood-colored markers are a great way to recolor scratch marks.

These markers come in a variety of shades. Use the marker to color in nicks and scratches, and wipe the surrounding area with a damp cloth to remove excess color after the scratch has been mitigated. Use multiple markers for an almost perfect match. l Wood-tone wax pencils and crayons
