t is chocolate cake day, and I know I’m pretty excited. I don’t think I’m alone.

How can I be? A piece of chocolate cake shows up at your doorstep, and suddenly the sun shines a little brighter. On this day, about 130 people across Lawrence got their cake, and were able to eat it too.

Knock, knock, knock. “Meals on Wheels,” Carolyn Landgrebe says, just like she has since she began volunteering for the organization during its first year of Lawrence operations in 1970.

Taxpayers footing the bill for hundreds of flights that KU defends as essential

n January 2014, former Kansas University head football coach Charlie Weis and his wife, Maura, flew to Belmar, N.J., to recruit players.

The cost to taxpayers for the round-trip flight? $19,682.61. That’s because the Weises flew on a jet owned by KU rather than taking a commercial flight.

Over five years, KU has spent $3.5 million flying coaches, administrators and others on some 641 trips, mostly on univer-

IN THIS FEB. 9 FILE PHOTO, THE LAWRENCE POLICE DEPARTMENT’S FORENSIC INVESTIGATION TRUCK sits outside the home on West 19th Terrace where three people were shot Feb. 8. Police are now looking for two suspects in connection with the shooting: Rachael Ann Hampton, 20, and Robert Alan Long, 24. A third suspect, Caleb L. Chrisman, 22, was arrested Wednesday.

Police seek tips; suspect’s parents issue statement

By Rochelle Valverde Twitter: @RochelleVerde

The Lawrence Police Department is seeking public assistance in locating two suspects in the triple shooting that occurred three weeks ago near Kansas University’s campus.

Arrest warrants have been issued for the suspects, Rachael Ann Hampton, 20, and Robert Alan Long, 24. They are believed to be armed and

are considered dangerous, police said.

Working with the Douglas County District Attorney’s Office, detectives obtained arrest warrants for Hampton and Long on suspicion of aggravated kidnapping, aggravated robbery and Long aggravated burglary.

Looking for a new place to bank?

Here’s an election where researching the candidates can be a lot of fun.

That’s right, it is time once again to pick the Best of Lawrence. Voting in the contest, which is sponsored by Lawrence.com, starts today and runs through March 31.

That means you’d better get your researching skills ready. For instance, you’re going to have to determine a winner between all the candidates for Best Place for a Margarita. (Your right hand is not an eligible vote, by the way.) If that is the type of research that leaves you with a headache, there are plenty of other categories to consider. In all, we’re asking for your opinion on 160 different topics.

We’ll give you a chance to vote on your favorite restaurants and dishes. There’s even a category this year for Best Secret Menu. What’s a secret menu? Well, duh, we can’t tell you. There’s a whole host of options to vote for your favorite retailers and your favorite service providers, too.

That means barbers, bartenders, plumbers and some that you may not think of — like Best Acupuncturist. (The winner is sure to be on pins and needles.)

Speaking of winners, they’ll be announced at a special event on June 18, and the Best of Lawrence magazine will hit newsstands on June 21. But before we can announce the winners, you need to do your duty and vote. Last year more than 8,000 people helped us determine the Best of Lawrence, and this year it will be even easier to vote. Just go to Lawrence. com and look for the Best of Lawrence icon. Voting can be done in stages, which means you can start to fill out your ballot, take a break to do some research and come back at your leisure to finish it.

So, get out there. Find the Best Family Doctor, find the Best Golf Course (ask the doctor, we hear they do quite a bit of research on the subject), and, of course, find the Best Place to Watch a Game.

Oh, the chores of research.

Shooting Monarch butterfly ON THE street decline linked to crop herbicides CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

tion is emblematic of the plight that pollinating insects face in part because farmers, enticed by ethanol mandates, are growing more herbicideresistant crops, which has stripped millions of acres of crucial plant habitat.

Herbicide makers say they’re committed to helping the black-andorange monarch butterBritney Woody, flies, whose numbers have student, plummeted by more than Lawrence 90 percent in the past two “I don’t know if they decades. And environmenshould, but it is talists seeking protection a college town.” for monarchs under the Endangered Species Act said restoring milkweed habitat would help other pollinating insects, too, such as honeybees, whose numbers of managed colonies have dropped by more than 4 million beehives since 1947.

“My feeling is if the monarch goes, it is like the canary in the coal mine,” said Lincoln Brower, an Brian Ide, economist with Sweet Briindustrial designer, ar College in Virginia.

Kansas City The U.S. Fish and Wild“It’s hard to say. life Service is taking comPersonally, I wouldn’t ments and data about monwant to pay for archs through Monday, the plane.” and a decision on whether to list the monarch as threatened is due in December. Although a plan for helping the monarch wouldn’t be developed unless it gains “threatened” status, the solution needs to address herbicides as well as mowing public roadsides less frequently, Brower said.

Some monarch populations migrate thousands of Tyler Bessy, miles from breeding and student, wintering grounds, but Lawrence along the route, there is “Not that much.” less of the milkweed they depend upon to nourish them and on which they lay their eggs, a loss caused by more corn and soybeans, logging, construction and a drought that peaked in 2012.

— Chip Taylor, insect ecologist and founder of Kansas University’s Monarch Watch crops, and a renewable fuel standard approved

by Congress in 2007 provided a major boost to the corn-based fuel. As millions more acres of land was cultivated, there was an estimated 64 percent decline in milkweed plants from 1999 to 2012 in the Midwest, Iowa State University ecologist John Pleasants said.

Monsanto said in a statement that it is “committed to working with others to put more monarchs in flight,” and is working with the nonprofit Keystone Center in Colorado.

Sarah Stokes Alexander, who oversees the center’s policy programs, says it’s planning a meeting this spring with food companies, grain buyers, the herbicide industry, farming organizations, federal agencies, conservationists and university researchers.

“The idea is to better engage the agriculture community in the rural areas of the Midwest in monarch conservation and recovery,” she said, adding that one goal is to discuss the possibility of a collaborative conservation plan to be implemented at the national and state level.

President Barack Obama issued a directive last year to federal agencies to create a strategy to promote the health of honeybees and other pollinators, and as part of the effort, the federal government pledged $3.2 million in February to restore habitat from California to the Corn Belt. And there has been some good news as drought conditions eased, with monarchs experiencing a 69 percent spike in the size of their overwinter habitat in Mexico.

But some still question the wisdom of listing the insects as threatened, including Chip Taylor, an insect ecologist and founder of Kansas University’s Monarch Watch.

He pointed to some states’ strong resistance to other species protection efforts.

“We have to have a ground-up approach,” he said. “This involves all of us.”

robbery, aggravated burglary and three counts of aggravated kidnapping after allegedly holding Phillip Hawley, Seth Peterson and Arthur Perez at gunpoint in an attempt to rob them of cash in a home at 1621 W. 19th Terrace, court documents state.

The three victims, two of whom are KU students, suffered gunshot wounds during the incident, according to Lawrence police spokesman Sgt. Trent McKinley. None of the charges filed against Chrisman implies he shot the men. The three have since been released from area hospitals.

Hampton was reported missing Feb. 7.

She was believed to be driving a silver 2005 Pontiac G6, according to the Facebook page for Kansas Missing & Unsolved. Witness accounts and dispatch calls suggest that a vehicle matching that description was linked to the shooting a day later.

On Saturday afternoon, Hampton’s parents, John Hampton and Kathryn Myers, issued the following statement to the Journal-World: “Our daughter, Rachael, has been missing since Feb. 8. She has not contacted us, family or friends. To our knowledge, there has been no credible evidence as

Topeka man pleads no contest to murder Topeka (ap) — A man whose capital murder conviction was overturned because of ineffective legal representation avoided the death penalty by pleading no contest to killing two women in Topeka in 2003.

King Phillip Amman Reu-El, 41, who was known as Phillip Cheatham Jr. when the crimes occurred, pleaded no contest Friday to capital murder and to attempted first-degree murder in the shooting of a third woman.

Amman Reu-El was convicted of capital murder in 2005 and sentenced to death but the Kansas Supreme Court overturned the conviction, saying his attorney had been unprepared to handle a death

penalty case.

Shawnee County District Attorney Chad Taylor said Friday the time Amman Reu-El has already served will apply to his sentence, which means he could be eligible for parole after serving 25 years, The Topeka Capital-Journal reported.

He has been in prison about 11 years. Sentencing was scheduled for March 20.

Jury selection for his second trial was underway Friday when the plea agreement was reached.

He was to be retried in the slayings of Annette Roberson, 38, and Gloria A. Jones, 42, on Dec. 13, 2003, and the wounding of Annetta D. Thomas at a Topeka home.

ROADWORK

Water line work continues on Ninth Staff Reports

Lawrence: l Portions of the roadway in the westbound lane of Ninth Street at New Hampshire Street will be closed this week for the construction of a new water line. Westbound Ninth Street will be detoured at Connecticut Street to either Eighth Street or 10th Street. l Demolition and construction activities have started on a new apartment complex south of 11th Street between Mississippi and Indiana streets. Existing public on-street park-

ing on the south side of 11th Street, the east side of Mississippi Street and the west side of Indiana Street will not be available. The project is expected to last through July 2016. l A project is underway to construct a new diamond interchange at Kansas Highway 10 and Bob Billings Parkway/15th Street. Work will take place during daylight hours, Monday through Friday. At this time, there are minimal motorist impacts, but the work has caused a need to detour the South Lawrence Trafficway trail between Sixth Street and Bob Billings Parkway.

Planes CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

provide funds to operate the planes; taxpayers pick up the tab. The flights typically cost significantly more than similar flights on commercial aircraft.

The university has a Cessna Citation CJ4 jet purchased in December 2014 to replace an older jet. It also owns a 25 percent share in a Phenom 100 jet through Executive AirShare, a company that sells customers time on a plane used by multiple customers.

From the perspective of KU officials, the flights are a good investment. Commercial flights or car trips wouldn’t allow KU leaders to visit a hardto-reach Western Kansas city and be back in Lawrence for an evening event, they say, or to work all day on campus, visit Washington, D.C., for an evening event and be back in town for work here the next day.

Taxpayers are not well-served by having highly paid university officials waiting in line to check baggage or riding in a car down Interstate 70, they say.

For example, KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little flew to and from Salina in April 2014 on the KU jet for a speaking engagement at a cost of $3,714. The drive would have taken two hours and 15 Gray-Little minutes each way.

“It doesn’t make a lot of good sense to have the chancellor, whatever her hourly expense would be, driving down the turnpike for hours at a time,” said Tim Caboni, KU’s vice chancellor for public affairs, speaking about use of the jet in general, not about specific flights. “I would imagine some folks would see that as wasteful. Anything that we can do to deploy her time effectively is a good thing.”

Of the total trips reviewed: l 215 trips at a cost of $709,955 were made by people associated with the chancellor’s activities, such as recruitment, the KU Honors program, public relations and visits to Washington, D.C. l 288 trips at a cost of $2.4 million were made by those in KU Athletics, largely for recruitment but also for meetings. l 37 trips at a cost of $127,865 were associated with the KU Endowment Association.

The Journal-World received, through a Kansas Open Records Act request, data on flights paid for with public money on KU or state aircraft,

by KU officials from July 1, 2009, to Sept. 30, 2014. lll

The records show the university paying dramatically different amounts for flights on the same aircraft to the same cities.

For example, officials took 39 round-trip flights to Dallas over the five-year period. The cost for those 1,000-mile flights ranged from about $1,339 to $20,557, according to university records. The most expensive trip to Dallas was billed at 10.5 hours on a King Air C90B while the least expensive round-trip flight was billed at 2.9 hours on the state’s King Air 350, according to KU’s flight records.

KU officials would not answer questions about specific flights.

Trips by Weis illustrate the same issue.

In 2011 when university officials made the flight to Teterboro, N.J., as part of the Weis hire, it cost taxpayers $11,475.

In 2014, Weis when Weis and his wife made the recruiting trip to Belmar, N.J., virtually the same distance as Teterboro, it cost roughly $19,682, or $8,207 more.

Some of the flights were made to hard-to-reach destinations such as cities in Western Kansas, but many were made to cities with frequent commercial flights. Flights to Washington, D.C., generally cost from $9,450 to $13,500 on KU’s private planes, according to the data.

KU planes made 14 trips to Washington, D.C., over the five

years for administrative purposes. Gray-Little made nine of those trips. The cost to taxpayers for Washington, D.C., flights was $142,877.

If the total of 40 Washington passengers had flown commercially on 14 same-day trips, the cost would have been about $16,000, according to the U.S. Bureau of Transportation. lll

For years, the university had kept its budgeted aviation operating expenses under $1 million a year. But in 2013 budgeted operating expenses jumped to $1.9 million from $924,000 in 2012. Asked why, Erinn Barcomb-Peterson, a university spokeswoman, said in writing: “The budget changed because it was intended to more accurately represent actual expenses but was overstated.” She would not elaborate.

Mission and expectations University officials including Caboni, Kansas University Endowment President Dale Seuferling and KU Associate Athletic Director Jim Marchiony talked in general about the importance of owning the planes, but refused to answer questions the Journal-World posed about dozens of specific flights, saying each trip is well thought out.

“Looking at different trips is one way to look at that,” Caboni said. “The other is to think about how you can intellectualize that. And the chancellor’s time is incredibly valuable, not just because how much she is paid. More importantly, there is a very limited amount of her time.”

“Folks who lead this institution are essentially on call 24/7,” Caboni Caboni said.

“They work long hours, and making sure we can pack ever more into those days is again a way in which we use that tool.”

Seuferling said judging the value of the planes’ use should be weighed against the importance of an expensive capital investment as opposed to asking questions about “cherrypicked” flights.

“One of the objectives of having the capital asset available is to use it whenever possible and when necessary,” Seuferling said. “To go the other way and mothball it multiple days of the week doesn’t make economic sense for the capital investment.”

“The people of Kansas aspire for the University of Kansas to be a national research university located in Lawrence, Kansas,” Seuferling said. “How does that institution meet that mission and the expectations?

Travel is certainly one of the requirements in carrying that out.”

Caboni noted that the university is in the middle of a fundraising campaign, and the ability to fly easily is helpful.

“One thing we know, you don’t raise $1.2 billion by sitting in your office. You don’t ask for a million dollars over the telephone. You can’t do it via Skype. And there are donors who will only be solicited by and want to meet with the chancellor,” Caboni said. “Particularly if those folks are in Western Kansas or a place where there is not a commercial flight. Ensuring that we are able to put her in front of those individuals and tell the story of why we need their investment and get her back in time so she can do something else. It’s one of the reasons why we are so successful as an institution and in generating voluntary support.”

A good example of the jet’s use came, Caboni said, when Gray-Little was in Washington, D.C., meeting with potential donors. A group of eight campus officials, including a photographer and a vice chancellor, flew out at the end of the day to join her. “We did a day of work here on the campus, hopped on the plane and flew to D.C.,” Caboni said. “We had multiple folks from across (Washington D.C.) there to interact and engage with university leadership. Instead of spending the night, we got back on the plane and we were here at 11 o’clock that evening to go to work the next day.”

Seuferling said the endowment association had not considered donating money to KU to pay for the operation and maintenance of the jets.

FAA rules mean KU Athletics can’t pay for flights on university planes

By Karen Dillon Twitter: @karensdillon

Although Kansas University Athletics had almost $97.7 million in revenue last year, when its officials fly on KU jets, the expenses are paid for with public money.

Federal Aviation Administration rules prohibit the university’s aviation services from accepting payment from anyone, including KU Athletics, for flights, university communications director Erinn Barcomb-Peterson said.

KU Athletics received about $1.5 million in state funds this year, said Breeze Richardson, director of communications for the Kansas Board of Regents. “The money is used for salaries and related employer costs for the Athletics Director and team physician (approximately $500,000), use of university aircraft and other operating expenses….”

Here’s how the FAA rules work: The FAA distinguishes between owners of private

Trips and costs Chancellor’s office: 215 trips at a cost of $709,955 KU Athletics: 288 trips at a cost of $2.4 million KU Endowment Association: 37 trips at a cost of $127,865 Medical outreach and training: 643 trips at a cost of $1.6 million For the period from July 1, 2009, to Sept. 30, 2014

“We’re not the primary users,” said Seuferling, who has taken 36 trips on KU jets over five years to visit donors around the country. “It’s a very difficult decision to make the capital investment. I would also argue the value the taxpayers get ... the value provided to taxpayers is immense.”

The KU data reviewed does not include flights for KU’s sports teams. Those flights are either scheduled through a charter company or commercial airline or the teams take a bus to schools that university officials do not consider a long trip such as to Iowa State University, Marchiony said.

The Journal-World did not review the commercial flights that KU administrators, coaches and others take. Commercial flights play an important role because many times the university may have four or five officials flying any given day to different places, officials said. Last year, the university spent $2 million on commercial flights.

Caboni said he reviewed the number of flights he and the chancellor and two other vice chancellors took last year: Of 103 trips, 31 of the flights were on the KU jet, he said.

Is it justified?

Jay Kiedrowski, a senior fellow in the Public and Nonprofit Leadership Center at the Humphrey School of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota, said the issue of private planes and public money involves weighing benefit versus cost.

The public isn’t usually aware of these types of expenses, and if you have a popular coach or chancellor, people are less prone to complain, he said.

The University of Minnesota doesn’t have a plane, but when it hired basketball coach Richard Pitino, his contract allowed him to fly charter rather than commercial, Kiedrowski said.

“It’s a very difficult topic,” said Kiedrowski, who was the executive vice president for Wells Fargo when it got into trouble with the federal government over its perks after the 2008 financial crash, and former budget director for Minneapolis. “The cost can never be justified. It falls into the area of a prestige/perk.”

Lawrence McQuillan, a senior fellow and director of entrepreneurial innovation at the Independent Institute, a nonpartisan think tank, said he

planes providing for their own transportation and charter companies that make money by providing transportation to others. KU operates under FAA Part 91, which regulates the first category.

The two sets of rules have very different requirements for pilots and for operating the planes, said Jeff Wieand, senior vice president and general counsel for Boston JetSearch, a consulting company for jet buyers.

Part 91 rules are for “noncommercial” operations and generally prohibit any compensation or reimbursement to be paid to the owner for carrying passengers, Wieand said.

The FAA has two sets of rules because the agency thinks people paying for a charter flight should expect a business to follow higher standards than individual owners, Wieand said.

So the charter rules, reconsidered the amount the university was spending to fly its private planes to be excessive.

“This is the taxpayers’ and student dollars that are going to this, and that money needs to be spent wisely,” he said after the Journal-World provided him information about the total cost to use the planes and information about many specific flights. “They are paying excess costs that doesn’t advance the education mission for the University of Kansas at all.”

“Anyone with common sense would see it as imprudent and wasteful expenditures,” said McQuillan, who also has been a director at the Pacific Research Institute and research fellow at Hoover Institution, and often is a pundit on television news programs and nationally syndicated radio.

The Journal-World contacted 16 colleges, including the 10 Big 12 schools, the University of Missouri and the University of North Carolina. Only three schools — University of Texas System, Texas A&M and Iowa State University — said they own planes. Oklahoma State University owns a small share in a plane with Executive AirShare and sometimes uses a plane that belongs to its aviation program.

At Kansas State University, the president and administrators used to share a jet with the school’s aviation program, K-State spokeswoman Cindy Hollingsworth said. But the jet was facing major repairs, and K-State President Kirk Schulz decided to sell it.

“It was not cost effective to continue to own the jet,” Hollingsworth said. “Manhattan has an airport with commercial flights ... with American Eagle, that is the way it is most cost effective for the (president) to do his travel.”

Kenny Lannou, K-State assistant athletics director for communications, said K-State athletics officials typically use commercial flights for meetings and recruiting. They use charter flights when appropriate for some recruiting trips, he said.

The University of Missouri president flies commercially, too, but sometimes rents a state-owned plane to fly to rural areas, said Christian Basi, MU spokesman.

“He does fly commercial, and he typically flies business class, which allows him a little bit more room and allows him to continue to work while he is on the plane,” Basi said.

The University of North Carolina does not have a plane, spokeswoman Helen Buchanan said.

“Raleigh-Durham Airport is only 25 minutes away, so most commercial flights are easy to get to,” she said.

Of five Texas colleges contacted by the Journal-World, only the University of Texas and Texas A&M had planes.

The University of Texas, one of the largest and richest college systems in the country, has one plane, which is not a jet but a twin-turbo nine-passenger King Air, said Jenny LaCoste-Caputo, UT spokeswoman.

ferred to as Part 135 rules, were written to hold commercial operations to tougher requirements.

For instance, if KU operates under Part 91, its pilots could in theory fly for days without taking a break, Wieand said. The tougher Part 135 rules, however, have specific “flight-duty-time and rest requirements,” he said.

Part 135 rules also have tougher standards for pilot qualifications and require that flight crews be drug and alcohol tested.

In addition, a Part 135 aircraft must be operated and maintained to more stringent standards, including fire safety protection.

If the FAA officials find out that plane owners are violating the rules, they can ground the plane and assess fines and penalties, Wieand said. Pilots violating 135 also can lose their license.

KU Athletics About two-thirds of the money spent on KU-owned aircraft from mid-2009 to mid2014 was spent flying KU Athletics officials.

“We use it in cases of efficiency,” Marchiony said.

“There are times because of individual schedules it Self makes sense to use the school plane. We do it judiciously, and we don’t do it frivolously.”

Some examples: l Head basketball coach Bill Self is the top KU flier. His 118 trips to recruit players and attend events and meetings cost $1.2 million over the period reviewed.

In 2013, Self was being honored along with two other college coaches for their contributions to cancer research by the V Foundation. The foundation was holding its banquet in Sarasota, Fla. Self flew with several KU executives to Sarasota for the event on Friday, May 17. The group returned to Lawrence that same night.

But on Saturday, Self returned to Sarasota for additional foundation activities and returned that night to Lawrence to attend Sunday’s KU graduation ceremony for his daughter and several of his players.

Total cost of the two Sarasota flights: $26,682. l Last March, when basketball star Joel Embiid, a KU freshman, began experiencing back pain, he saw a doctor who diagnosed a stress fracture and prescribed bed rest, news stories said. His parents in Cameroon wanted a second opinion.

KU athletics officials agreed Embiid should see a specialist in Los Angeles. Embiid and basketball trainer Bill Cowgill took the KU jet to Los Angeles and received the same medical diagnosis: stress fracture.

The round-trip flight cost $18,928.66. Embiid left KU last spring after his freshman year to play in the NBA. l Athletics and other officials often fly on KU’s planes to attend Big 12 meetings. The cost for 34 trips over five years was $202,664.

Examples include Athletic Director Sheahon Zenger, who flew last year to New Orleans for meetings for two days at a cost Zenger of $10,970, and Weis, who flew in with his wife from South Bend, Ind., to Dallas to attend the Big 12 Media Day at a cost of $11,835.

In May 2010 former head football coach Turner Gill was listed as the only passenger traveling on the KU jet to the Phoenix Fiesta Bowl spring seminar. The cost was $19,950.

Lew Perkins and his assistants attended meetings of the National Football Hall of Fame and the Big 12 in New Jersey in 2009 at a cost of $17,000.

A year later Perkins, a Massachusetts native, and his wife flew on the KU jet to Chicopee, Mass., on May 21, 2010, for four days for the Naismith Basketball Perkins Hall of Fame trustee meeting and awards ceremony.

The cost was $13,515. Two days later basketball coach Bill Self and his assistant coach Joe Dooley flew on the KU King Air to Chicopee to join Perkins for two days for what records referred to as “public relations.” Self’s flight cost $12,976.

Hiring Weis Zenger fired Gill on Sun-

day, Nov. 27, 2011. The endowment association provided the money, about $70,000, for KU to hire Glenn Sugiyama, a Chicago executive search consultant, to help hire a new coach, Marchiony said.

Three days after Gill was fired, Sugiyama and Zenger flew to Chicago on the KU jet for $9,535 on a five-hour flight, according to univerGill sity records.

On Dec. 8, Sugiyama, Zenger and two assistants flew round-trip to Teterboro, N.J. Weis also was listed on university records as a passenger. The cost of the flight was $11,475.

The next day, athletic officials, having returned to Lawrence, presented Weis as KU’s new coach in a press conference. On Sunday, the KU jet flew Glenn Sugiyama and P. Sugiyama to Chicago for $4,560, according to university records. The total cost of the plane trips to hire Weis was $25,570.

The day Zenger decided to

fire Gill, Marchiony was attending an NCAA meeting in Indianapolis. Because Marchiony was needed in Lawrence to help with the media coverage, the KU jet picked him up and flew him back to campus at a cost of $4,940.

Recruiting The jets are often used for recruiting trips, often with multiple destinations. Nine recruiting flights cost more than $30,000 each. Seventeen trips cost $20,000 to $29,000 each. The most expensive recruiting trip cost $38,950 in 2012. Weis and his wife and two assistant coaches spent six days flying to Memphis, to several California cities, to Indianapolis and then home to Lawrence.

Other travel In November 2012, Chancellor Gray-Little got the opportunity to hire a new executive vice chancellor.

Gray-Little had three candidates: Norman Beauchamp, chairman of the radiology department at the University of Washington; Steve Nelson, dean of the School of Medicine at the

Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center; and an internal candidate, Doug Girod, who had been with the KU Medical Center since 1994 and was serving as interim executive dean for the medical school.

In separate trips Beauchamp and Nelson were brought to KU for interviews.

Because university officials would not respond to questions about specific flights, it’s unknown how the two men arrived at KU. Once here, each candidate was flown from Lawrence to Kansas City and then to Wichita. They then flew from Wichita to Lawrence to Kansas City, according to university records. The total flight costs: $5,554.

Internal candidate Girod was flown to Wichita in the KU jet for a cost of $1,944, according to university records.

According to the records, Nelson then made a second trip on Dec. 14 to Kansas University. The university paid $7,816 to fly Nelson, his wife and one of his children on a charter plane from New Orleans to Kansas City.

In February 2013 the chancellor announced Girod would get the job. l Gray-Little and Seuferling have made several trips together to raise money for the endowment association, records show. For example, in 2010 they flew to an outreach event in San Jose, Calif., for $15,163. In 2012, they flew to Newark, N.J., to raise money and to speak, at a cost of $15,469. l University officials and coaches often fly in-state to Pittsburg, Wichita and Salina for meetings, donor and student recruitment, golf tournaments and once to welcome the new dean of KU’s Wichita School of Medicine. Flights to and from those cities ranged from $500 to $3,700.

KU endowment pays to purchase planes

By Karen Dillon Twitter: @karensdillon

Taxpayers fund the operation of Kansas University’s aircraft, but the planes themselves have been purchased with private donations from the Kansas University Endowment Association, the independent, nonprofit fundraising organization for KU. In December 2014, for example, KU bought a Cessna Citation CJ4 business jet with $8.1 million from the association.

The jet replaced a Cessna Citation Bravo purchased in 1997 for $4 million. The CJ4 jet is hangared at the Lawrence Municipal Airport.

In 2013, KU used a $290,000 gift from the endowment association to buy a 25 percent share in a Phenom 100 jet from Executive AirShare, a Kansas City-based company co-owned

by Bob Taylor, an endowment trustee and executive committee member. The shared ownership is often called “fractional ownership.”

KU purchased shares in planes from Executive AirShare twice without seeking bids. Officials say they were not required to seek them.

The Phenom 100 replaced a 50 percent share KU owned in a cheaper turbo-propelled King Air plane, also owned by Taylor’s company.

Executive AirShare hangars the Phenom 100 for KU at the Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport in Kansas City, Mo. The share of the Phenom 100 entitles KU officials to fly on other aircraft owned by Executive AirShare. According to the company website: “As an Executive AirShare fractional jet owner, you receive more than just access to a private aircraft for a set amount of time each

Company that sold a jet ‘time-share’ to KU is owned by endowment committee member year. You get select access to the entire fleet of planes. It’s like having your own private fleet of elite, luxury aircraft at your disposal.”

KU officials and medical staff made 491 flights and spent $3.1 million on flights on the KU owned jets and made 620 flights and spent $1.7 million on flights on the Executive AirShare planes between July 1, 2009, and Sept. 30, 2014, according to records provided

by KU. They made another 123 flights on state-owned planes at a cost of $171,321.

Another owner of the of the Phenom 100 is IMA Financial Group, whose president is Kurt D. Watson. Watson, like Taylor, is a member of KU Endowment’s executive committee.

KU first purchased a share in a plane owned by Taylor’s Executive AirShare in 2007.

That year, one of the university’s two planes was aging, and university officials told the endowment association they needed donor money to buy a new plane, KU Endowment President Dale Seuferling said.

After exploring the purchase of a new plane, officials decided against requesting bids or issuing a request for proposals to buy one. Instead the university and endowment association officials agreed the university should purchase a share in a plane from Executive AirShare, Seuferling said.

Taylor, founder of the company, made a formal presentation to his fellow trustees at an endowment executive committee meeting to persuade them

to give money to KU to buy a 50 percent share in a King Air turbo-propeller five-seat plane, he said. At the time, Taylor was not a member of the executive committee and therefore was not among those who would make the decision, Taylor said.

The contract Seuferling that KU signed requires KU to pay Executive AirShare for fuel, use of its pilots and KU’s share of maintenance, insurance and storage.

Those costs are reflected in a per-flying-hour charge. Depending on the size of a plane and whether it is a turbo-prop or jet, the cost per flying hour ranges from $1,000 to about $2,800.

Seuferling said one of the reasons the university did not seek bids in the search for a new plane was the university decided against using a charter service because it said charter services are not safe and their pilots are not trained well.

KU student-athletes use charter airlines for games, and records provided by KU show that KU officials took 43 charter flights over the five-year period reviewed.

KU officials also believe Executive AirShare is a unique company that offers a service that no one else does in the area, Seuferling said. That allows the university to opt out of issuing a request for pro-

posal, or RFP, or seeking bids.

However, Executive AirShare is not the only fractional ownership aviation company in the area. NetJets, a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway, which rents and sells fractional ownerships in planes and flies to 11,500 airports worldwide, has operated out of Hetrick Air Services at the Lawrence airport for at least a decade and also from the Kansas City downtown airport and the Wichita airport, a company spokeswoman said.

“If we have customers who want to fly in and out of Lawrence or Wichita, or anywhere else in Kansas ... we will take them where they need to go,” NetJets spokeswoman Chris Herbert said.

Seuferling said that even though no bids were sought, KU officials calculated that using NetJet services would be more costly, and KU agreed to purchase a share in Executive AirShare’s turbo-prop plane.

Five years later in 2012, the university decided to reorganize its aviation services, according to university records and budgets.

The university had four employees, three pilots and one flight coordinator, handling the KU jet. One of the pilots left, and to replace him the university hired Jeff Long, who had been working for Taylor and Executive AirShare in Kansas City.

Long, a retired Air Force major, is in charge of the university’s two KU jet pilots and

the flight scheduler, and is paid $127,600 a year. His wife, Allison Long, is accounting operations manager for the endowment association.

When Long became director, the university already was in talks with Executive AirShare about buying a share in a new jet, Long said in an interview.

With Long’s support the university decided to purchase a share in a Phenom 100 and sent a request to the endowment association for the money.

The Phenom 100 jet has one fewer seat than the turbo plane but costs about $300 more an hour to fly, according to KU responses to questions from the Journal-World. The endowment agreed it was a good deal and gave the university $290,000 for a share of the new jet.

This time Taylor, who now was on the endowment’s executive committee, said he did not try to persuade the university to buy a share in the jet.

Long said it was important that KU stay with Executive AirShare rather than go with another company because it is “a known quantity” and is safer than, say, charter companies “They are a partner,” said Long, a former KU athlete and current president of the K Club, whose mission is to preserve the traditions of KU athletics. “We know how they operate and how they maintain their aircraft.”

KU program uses planes for medical treatment in rural areas

By Karen Dillon Twitter: @karensdillon

Goodland — Three years ago, David Emig, a retired sheep farmer near Goodland, wasn’t feeling well and went to see his doctor in nearby Burlington, Colo.

The bad news was Emig had cancer.

Better news was that he wouldn’t have to endure travel to Hays, Denver or Kansas City to have chemotherapy.

Emig could go to Goodland Regional Medical Center and be under the watchful eye of his oncologist, Dr. Prakash Neupane, who was more than 400 miles away at the Kansas University Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan. “Well my goodness, here we are out here in Nowheres, and we got care from KU Medical Center,” Emig said in January. “I got to take my chemo, and I’m only 14 miles from home. This is real nice.”

For several decades, KU Medical Center has had a program that allows doctors who specialize in serious diseases to treat patients in rural areas via a video conferencing system and then fly to those areas, generally once a month, to examine patients in person.

KU’s rural medical outposts are in Sa-

DAVID EMIG, AND HIS WIFE, MONICA, at the Goodland Regional Medical Center, where he underwent chemotherapy as part of a Kansas University Medical Center program.

He said he was grateful to be able to get the treatment close to home. Emig died Feb. 3. lina, Hays, Goodland and Garden City.

KU also flies doctors from Wichita to Pittsburg and Wichita to Garden City as part of the Ryan White HIV Satellite Clinics program.

One of the reasons KU leaders say it’s important to own planes is to enable medical staff to reach those far-flung locations in an efficient way.

Without KU’s help, many families who need to see oncologists, orthopedic specialists, pediatric cardiologists and other doctors might not have that chance because of a shortage of those

types of doctors in rural areas.

“For a number of families, it is an economic hardship to come to Kansas City,” said Bob Cox, a pediatrician and one of KU’s pioneers in telemedicine.

“Many only make minimum wage. That is a significant economic burden.”

Last fiscal year, eight doctors flew to KU’s outposts 85 times and saw about 1,300 patients, according to KU Medical Center. One doctor typically sees 12 to 25 patients in a daylong visit, said a KU Medical spokeswoman.

In all, medical staff flew 643 trips at a cost of $1.6 million for medical outreach clinics and medical continuing education between July 1, 2009, and Sept.

30, 2014. The trips were on KU-owned jets, planes in which KU has a fractional ownership, and planes owned by the state.

Ryan Spaulding, associate vice chancellor for community engagement, said there also are economic benefits to those communities if people can stay home and spend their money there. In addition, prescriptions, lab work and other treatmentrelated expenses also stay local.

“We started this a long time ago but even now it is even more important with health reform and the cost of health care,” Spaulding said.

Dr. Neupane said for patients who are extremely ill, travel can be harmful.

“Quality of life is essential,” he said.

“For example, with chemotherapy treatment, stress is not good.”

Not having to travel for chemotherapy treatment was something Emig was thankful for.

Emig, 73, did have to go to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., a couple years ago to have his bladder and prostate removed. The subsequent chemotherapy treatments were in Goodland.

On Jan. 9, Emig and his wife, Monica, were at the Goodland clinic to see Dr. Neupane. A test had come back showing a possibility that the cancer was returning.

Still they hid their concerns well, reminiscing and joking about their years together.

“It ain’t just me,” Emig said. “I have talked to other people who have taken this chemo, and they are so thankful they don’t have to go to Denver and some other place to get it. This outreach thing has been really, really nice.”

Emig died Feb. 3.

“It is such a delight every noon,” she says.

Clients of the program seem to agree.

Some are waiting on the front porch for us.

All seem happy to see us. Several seem particularly pleased when I dutifully alert them of the presence of chocolate cake in today’s meal.

“You can’t go wrong with chocolate cake,” says Pearl Schneider, 93. I offer to bring her the cake, which is sitting on the kitchen counter. She says she’ll get there with her walker, thank you.

She’s evidently heard about me and chocolate cake.

Schneider is an example of a senior citizen client of the program. Douglas County Senior Services offers a meal program that serves people 60 years and older. Clients of Meals on Wheels, which is separate from Senior Services, don’t have to be 60 years old.

They just have to be declared homebound and in need of a special diet according to their physician.

But more and more Meals on Wheels clients are older these days. Landgrebe remembers in the beginning — back when church groups cooked the meals in tin pie plates and drivers carried a hot stone with them to keep the meals warm — that many of the clients were people who were recovering from a hospital stay and temporarily were unable to fix their meals.

“Now, it has shifted to a lot of retired people who couldn’t stay in their homes otherwise,” says Landgrebe, 77.

MEALS ON WHEELS VOLUNTEER CAROLINE LANDGREBE leans in to visit with Lawrence resident Jane Gates after dropping off a lunch for Gates and her husband Wednesday. Landgrebe has been volunteering with the food delivery service since its inception in 1970.

In 2001, 50 percent of the clients paid the full price of a meal, says Kim Culliss, the part-time executive director and just one of three employees of the organization. Today, only two people pay the entire $4.50 full price. Everybody else just pays what they can. Grants and fundraising make up the bulk of the nonprofit’s roughly $225,000 budget.

Tiny Missouri town mourns after gunman kills seven, then himself

By Margaret Stafford Associated Press

Kansas City, Mo. — Residents of a small southern Missouri town struggled to come to grips with the knowledge that one of their own had killed seven people in a spasm of violence that ended when the gunman shot himself to death on a rural county road.

Joseph Jesse Aldridge, 36, went to four homes in the unincorporated town of Tyrone in Texas County late Thursday, killing relatives and neighbors but sparing two teenagers. He was later found dead in a vehicle in neighboring Shannon County, about 25 miles away.

Aldridge’s 74-yearold mother, Alice, was found dead in a home she shared with her son as officers went door to door to search for other victims. An autopsy performed Saturday found she died of natural causes, Texas County Coroner Tom Whitaker said. Alice Aldridge had a history of breast cancer and had lung cancer, said Whitaker, adding investigators assumed she was not a victim of violence but wanted to be “100 percent” sure.

Autopsies were not performed on the other victims, who all lived in Tyrone, not much more than a spot on the map about 40 miles north of the Arkansas border.

“Since the shooter killed himself, and we’re certain he is the shooter and the weapon he killed himself with, the ammunition he used, all match the victims, the prosecuting attorney felt there was no need for

TAPE IS PLACED ON ONE OF THE DOORS OF A HOME NEAR TYRONE, MO., on Friday morning.

A gunman killed seven people and wounded an eighth person in an overnight house-tohouse rampage in the small town in the Missouri Ozarks before apparently committing suicide in a vehicle, authorities said Friday. autopsies,” Whittaker said.

“We knew how they died.”

Texas County Sheriff James Sigman on Saturday identified three of the victims as Darrell Dean Shriver, 68; his 46-yearold son, Carey Dean Shriver, and Carey’s wife, Valirea Love Shriver, 44.

The name of a 67-yearold woman who was injured was not released.

Sigman was not available for interviews on Saturday, his office said.

John W. Shriver, 72, said he found the bodies of Carey and Valirea on a bedroom floor of their home Thursday night after his cousin Darrell’s wife called screaming and asking him to find Carey.

The couple’s 13-year-old son, also named John Shriver, slept through the killings and was found in

his bed. The elder John Shriver later learned Darrell had died and his wife was injured.

Shriver told The Associated Press on Saturday that it’s still unclear why his cousins were killed.

“They was neighbors, and we had heard maybe he (Joseph) asked Darrell for a job and didn’t get it but we don’t know that for sure,” he said. “Their house was close to the other homes. We don’t know why.”

Residents speculated Friday that the death of Aldridge’s mother might have triggered the rampage, but investigators were still trying to determine a motive.

The shootings came to light when a 13-year-old girl ran to a neighbor’s house for help after hear-

Four American missionaries were released

by Venezuelan authorities Saturday after being detained and questioned for several days, a pastor at their church said.

Bruce Dick, lead pastor at Bethel Evangelical Free Church in Devils Lake, N.D., said the three men and one woman were released Saturday morning after being in custody since Wednesday.

U.S. Embassy Press Director Glenn Guimond said the missionaries boarded a plane out of the country and would not be allowed back for two years.

It was unclear Saturday why the missionaries were detained by Venezuelan authorities, and Dick said he couldn’t comment until he spoke with them. He said they flew to Aruba, where they planned to rest

for at least a day.

Relations between the U.S. and Venezuela have been steadily deteriorating. Earlier this month, President Nicolas Maduro accused the U.S. of working with local opposition groups to stage a coup. Washington called the accusation ludicrous.

The pastor said the missionaries were taken Wednesday from Ocumare de la Costa, a small coastal town where they have been working to establish a church, to the city of Maracay. He said they were steadily questioned by authorities, but couldn’t say what they were questioned about.

The missionaries were treated well, Dick said, adding that they were able to send text messages and make brief phone calls to loved ones.

“They didn’t fear for their lives or anything; it was just question after question,” he said.

Slain Russian opposition leader mourned Moscow (ap) — World leaders on Saturday joined allies of slain Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov in mourning the loss of a tireless advocate for democracy in a country increasingly dominated by an autocratic ruler.

Hundreds brought flowers to a bridge near the Kremlin where Nemtsov, an outspoken critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin, was gunned down just before midnight on Friday.

While supporters saw the hand of the Kremlin in the slaying, Putin swore that he would do his best to have Nemtsov’s killers brought to justice and ordered a thorough investigation.

Russian Investigative Committee spokesman Vladimir Markin said agents were considering several motives, including a foreign provocation to destabilize Russia, Islamic extremism, business or personal rivals and “the version connected with internal Ukrainian events.”

None of the official scenarios suggested any Kremlin role in the slaying.

Nemtsov’s killing has been condemned by Western leaders who knew him from as long as 20 years ago, when he was a promising young protege of President Bo-

The slaying came just ahead of a planned Sunday rally against Russia’s involvement in Ukraine.

Questions remain There aren’t many big surprises in the Rock Chalk Park audit, but there are a number of disappointing conclusions.

T

he audit released Thursday reveals some of the major flaws in the Rock Chalk Park process and accounting, but it leaves many questions unanswered.

The auditor’s apparent conclusion is that, one way or another, the city got what it agreed to pay for in terms of infrastructure at the park and should make the remaining payment of about $1 million on the project. It remains to be seen whether city commissioners accept that conclusion or demand more answers.

The auditor, hired by the city, acknowledged that it was unable to obtain a full accounting of the costs of the construction from Bliss Sports II, but nonetheless concluded that the work “met or exceeded the established specification and the costs were compliant with the terms and conditions found in the development agreement.”

It’s now apparent that the development agreement on this project left a lot to be desired. One of the major issues, according to the auditor was a basic difference of opinion among the parties on how the city’s payment for this project would be justified. While the city saw its responsibility as reimbursing actual costs of the project up to the $22.5 million maximum, the Kansas University Endowment Association and Bliss Sports II saw the contract “as lump sum agreement,” the audit said. Whether it was reasonable for Bliss and KUEA to expect the city to simply pay a lump sum for the infrastructure without any accounting of the actual costs certainly poses an interesting question — a question that shouldn’t have been left open to any debate when this development agreement was signed.

Bliss Sports II “could not provide a formal job cost ledger,” the auditors said, and it was determined that some subcontractors performed work without formal contracts. “The lack of agreements makes it difficult to determine if costs were properly applied between the stadium and infrastructure projects,” they said. That has been a key concern of many critics of this project, but the auditors said it didn’t justify withholding any payments.

Soon after receiving the report, Mayor Mike Amyx acknowledged that “this report probably won’t answer everybody’s questions.” City commissioners will have an opportunity to ask for additional information, but some questions — notably, whether the city would have paid less if it had insisted on taking competitive bids on the infrastructure — are simply unanswerable, especially with an incomplete accounting of the actual expenses.

Several times in the report, the auditors recommended steps the city might take “in the future,” or “in all future projects.” Hindsight is always 20-20, but many local residents still question whether some of the problems with this process couldn’t have been anticipated and avoided. Sports Pavilion Lawrence and Rock Chalk Park may be great assets for Lawrence and the city shouldn’t be unwilling to enter into other publicprivate partnerships on other projects.

At the very least, however, they should have learned something about how to choose those partners and make sure they all are on the same page about how the projects will be completed, inspected and paid for.

‘My Girl’ stands the test of time There are sounds it feels like you’ve known forever, sounds that have been in your ear so long, it’s hard to believe they were ever new.

One of those sounds is this: James Jamerson thumps a heartbeat on the bass.

Robert White’s guitar corkscrews out in reply. And the immortal David Ruffin sings, in a voice of sweetness shadowed by sorrow, “I’ve got sunshine on a cloudy day.”

Hard to believe that sound was ever new, but it was.

Released four days before Christmas in 1964, “My Girl” by the Temptations reached the top of the pop charts in the first week of March — 50 years ago this week. Maybe you remember hearing it during that portentous late winter when Malcolm X had just been killed, and Martin Luther King’s forces were gathering on a bridge in a town called Selma.

If so, you are probably humming it right now, recalling the airtight harmonies and the way the horns and strings danced elegant pirouettes of sound.

Or maybe you were born years later, during the energy crisis, or around the time of the Challenger disaster or even in that more recent era when Bryant Gumbel found it necessary to ask Katie

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

“

One of the fascinating, albeit unintended, byproducts of the tech revolution is that what used to be called the mainstream of American popular culture has fractured into near obsolescence.”

Couric, “What is Internet, anyway?” Doesn’t matter.

You’re humming it, too.

“My Girl” by the Temptations is one of those songs everybody knows. It is the most perfect thing ever recorded.

You may disagree, of course, and that’s fine. You have the right to be wrong and to celebrate whatever song suits your fancy in your newspaper column. Here on this piece of real estate, however, the judgment stands.

That said, we’re not here to celebrate the greatness of the song, nor even its endurance, but rather, the simple fact that you can sing it, that it is a song everybody knows. Songs like that are fewer and further between now. The phenomenal success of Pharrell Williams’ “Happy” last summer is the exception that proves the point. Yes, you knew that song, Grandma knew that song, kindergarteners knew that song.

But how many songs of the last 10 years can you say that about? How many from the last 20?

One of the fascinating, albeit unintended, byproducts of the tech revolution is that what used to be called the mainstream of American popular culture has fractured into near obsolescence. This is particularly obvious with television. The medium’s biggest new sensation — “Empire” on Fox — drew 13 million viewers for its Feb. 18 episode. In 1952, “I Love Lucy” averaged 10 million viewers more in a nation with less than half the current population.

There are more options now, more than three networks, more than a handful of radio stations, more demands on our time and attention. So there are fewer

television programs “everybody” watches, fewer songs “everybody” knows, fewer things that bring us all together. As a result, it’s easier now to ensconce ourselves in bunkers of individual interest, so that sometimes, it feels as if there is no larger “us.” Which makes you value all the more those remnants from a distant era that still bind Americans across generations, skin color, religious affiliation, party lines.

One of them is a deceptively simple song Smokey Robinson and Ronald White wrote about a boy and girl in love. Most of the men who sang it are long gone.

Paul Williams, died in 1973, David Ruffin, in 1991, Eddie Kendrick, in 1992 and Melvin Franklin, in 1995.

And right this moment, somewhere in the world, 73-year-old Otis Williams, the last of the men who sang that song, is probably getting ready to go onstage with four other men — one of them not yet born in 1965 — to sing it once again. It’s hard to imagine that anyone in the house won’t be singing along.

Fifty years and counting.

And still, we’re talkin’ about “My Girl.”

Abatement cost

Economist’s analysis flawed French economist Thomas Piketty recently accomplished something practitioners of the “dismal science” can only dream of: He became a celebrity.

His tome, “Capital in the Twenty-first Century” was hailed as “a watershed in economic thinking,” “a sweeping account of rising inequality,” and a book that could “change the way we think about the past two centuries of economic thought.” The book has been catnip for fans of taxing the rich and the redistributing the proceeds to the less fortunate.

Piketty predicts the return to a “patrimonial society” in which a few plutocrats live in luxury on inherited wealth while the rest struggle to survive — unless drastic measures are taken. His admitted ideological bias against capitalism suggests that his thesis was predetermined and that his facts were cherry-picked to support the thesis. An economic argument that was supported by reference to Jane Austin and Honore de Balzac ought to have raised skepticism. And since the book was published, serious challenges have been raised concerning Piketty’s numbers. But when have facts ever gotten in the way of ideology?

Capitalism is an irresistible target for demonization, but it’s a vague word with lots of variables. What we have in the United States can hardly be called capitalism.

George Gurley

“

Capitalism is an irresistible target for demonization, but it’s a vague word with lots of variables.”

veloped countries as third world workers catch up.

Critics point out that Piketty has little to say about government policies and regulations that contribute to inequality and economic stagnation — or of the private sector’s ability to create jobs and raise standards of living. Moreover, as one economist argues, “The past 25 years have witnessed the greatest reduction in global poverty in the history of the world … World-wide income inequality … is falling, not rising. … The credit goes to the spread of capitalism.”

Piketty’s solution to inequality — no surprise — is a global tax on wealth. But how much of such taxation ever winds up in the hands of the needy and how much actually goes to feeding the bureaucracy? Never mind. By all means, let’s tax the rich.

After all, they got rich not by virtue of hard work and talent but by taking more than their share — right? Let’s just add a proviso requiring government to match every new dollar of tax on the rich with a dollar’s cut in spending. Government is notoriously wasteful and inefficient. Its economic meddling is always corrupted by political considerations. So, along with money confiscated from the rich let’s pluck some from the government.

If we redistributed those funds, everyone in America would be rich.

Government and business are in bed together. The free market is compromised by tax loopholes and subsidies.

Regulatory agencies reward favored businesses and punish others. Crony capitalism is the name of the game.

According to Piketty, modern capitalism almost inexorably leads to inequality. But inequality has been around since the beginning of time. Even communism created an affluent elite.

Income inequality is also a cyclical phenomenon.

The most pertinent factors in recent times have been revolutionary technological change and the increase of the global work force by as many as 2 billion new participants. Technology has rendered many jobs obsolete. Start-ups routinely create vast wealth with only a handful of highly-educated — George Gurley, a resident of employees.

To the editor: Tax abatements are getting expensive. In 1989 and 1990, we granted tax abatements of $9,112 and $7,428 per job to two companies that are no longer in Lawrence.

Bliss Sports, LLC, the owners of Rock Chalk Park, received a 100 percent property tax abatement which amounts to more than $1 million per job. If the sales tax break is considered, the subsidy is almost $1.1 million per job.

My purpose is not to criticize the facility or the developers who take advantage of our wasteful tax subsidy policy masquerading as economic development.

Allen Ford, Lawrence

Flawed logic To the editor: Connecting the dots in his evasive letter of Feb. 26, Kevin Groenhagen appears to be claiming that: 1. President Bush could have persuaded us to go to war against Iraq even if he had admitted that any WMDs left in Iraq were useless rusted hulks; and 2. The invasion of Iraq was a good idea because Bush had a secondary goal of “freedom for Iraq” — even though the actual result was instead a combination of chaos, anarchy, and warlordism.

If that’s what Groenhagen means, his judgment is just plain wacko. If that’s not what he means, his letter makes no sense.

David Burress, Lawrence

OLD HOME TOWN

100

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for March 1, 1915: years “The new fire ago truck which was IN 1915 installed at the fire department Saturday is being tested out today. It is loaded with the ordinary load that it will be expected to carry and will be tested on some of the Lawrence hills and in the mud. The car … is everything that was expected of it and will be a valuable asset to the department.”

t is chocolate cake day, and I know I’m pretty excited. I don’t think I’m alone.

How can I be? A piece of chocolate cake shows up at your doorstep, and suddenly the sun shines a little brighter. On this day, about 130 people across Lawrence got their cake, and were able to eat it too.

Knock, knock, knock. “Meals on Wheels,” Carolyn Landgrebe says, just like she has since she began volunteering for the organization during its first year of Lawrence operations in 1970.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY FORWARD PERRY ELLIS, LEFT, DELIVERS A DUNK against Texas center Prince Ibeh during the first half of the Jayhawks’ 69-64 victory over the Longhorns on Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse.

Ellis has Kansas closing in on title

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Perry Ellis started the Big 12 season off slowly, scoring in single digits in two of Kansas University’s first three games and three of the initial seven contests.

He’s finishing like a guy intent on accepting some postseason hardware for a team closing in on an 11thstraight conference championship.

Gordon will take final spin at Atlanta

By Paul Newberry AP Sports Writer

Hampton, Ga. — Jeff Gordon admired his latest retirement gift — a miniature race car for his two young children — and thanked the folks at Atlanta Motor Speedway for not going with the obvious choice.

“I really appreciate it not being a rocking chair,” Gordon quipped.

There’s enough time for that.

Today, Gordon will relish one final spin around the track that’s meant so much to his brilliant career.

Atlanta was the place where Gordon, a few months shy of his 21st birthday, picked up his first NASCAR victory in what was then known as the Busch Grand National Series, beating some of the biggest names in the sport in 1992.

“I wasn’t racing against any slouches that day,” Gordon recalled. “Mark Martin. Bill Elliott. Dale Earnhardt Sr. Those were the three guys I had to battle with to win that race.”

Rick Hendrick was watching that day. Impressed with Gordon’s performance, he put the youngster in one of his Cup cars for the final race that season, once again at Atlanta.

Everyone knows the rest of the story.

Gordon took over a full-time ride at Hendrick the following season, captured the first of four Cup titles in 1995, and is now at 92 career victories, third-most in the history of NASCAR’s top series — trailing only Richard Petty and David Pearson.

“This place has done so much for me,” said Gordon, who is retiring at the end of the year.

That first Cup race is especially poignant, even though Gordon finished far back in 31st place. In what would go down as a seminal changing of the guard, his debut came on the same day that Petty raced for the final time.

“I’ll always remember that drivers’ meeting,” Gordon said.

“The faces in there, beyond the drivers, was pretty impressive.

I still have that money clip that Richard handed out that day to all the drivers with their starting position. I wasn’t that proud at the moment, because I started 21st. But I’ll remember that forever.”

He’d prefer to forget his final qualifying run at Atlanta.

Gordon was among 13 cars — four of them former champions — who never got on the track because their cars didn’t pass inspection. He called the situation “absolutely embarrassing,” even though he still made the race based on owner points from 2014.

Joey Logano didn’t have any problems. He turned a blistering lap of more than 194 mph to take the pole, looking very much like a driver capable of following up on his seasonopening victory in the Daytona 500.

While Daytona is the biggest race of the year, Atlanta is viewed as the real opener, the first event under a new rules package that reduced horsepower and cut down on drag.

Most intriguingly, drivers now have the option of controlling the track bar from inside the car, allowing them to adjust the rear balance during the race, altering the way their machine handles.

The speeds were actually faster in qualifying than they were under the old rules package, but that was largely due to brisk temperatures expected throughout the weekend in Atlanta. The race was previously held on the sweltering Labor Day weekend, before shifting to an early spot on the schedule this year.

Stolen Sprint Cup car found on the side of the road Hampton, Ga. — The No. 44 race car returned to its NASCAR shop in North Carolina on Saturday after it was recovered along a remote road in suburban Atlanta, apparently abandoned by the thieves who stole it from a hotel parking lot.

While the discovery didn’t occur in nearly enough time for Team XTREME to compete in this weekend’s race at Atlanta Motor Speedway, it was a huge boost for the small-budget operation in its bid to make the next event at Las Vegas.

“There was no damage whatsoever,” team owner John Cohen told the Associated Press.

“Nothing was taken off the car.

Even the antennas that went to the radio were still in the seats.”

Police in Gwinnett County northeast of Atlanta received a suspicious vehicle call at approximately 2:30 a.m. Saturday, nearly 24 hours after the race car was stolen, said Jeffery Richter, the public information officer.

A motorist spotted the No. 44 machine along a darkened road and quickly realized it must be the stolen race car.

Cohen was called to the scene, confirmed it was his $250,000 race car off the shoulder of the road, and called a tow truck to take it back to their shop in suburban Charlotte.

“It was backwoods,” Cohen said. “There were no lights around. (The thieves) made sure no one could see them while they were getting rid of the car.”

NBA

Former Knick Mason dies at age of 48 New York — Anthony Mason, the rugged power forward who was a defensive force in the NBA from the 1990s into the early 21st century, has died. He was 48.

The Knicks confirmed Mason’s death, which was first reported Saturday by the New York Daily

News. He had been battling heart problems.

“We would like to thank everyone for their heartfelt thoughts and strong prayers. Anthony felt each and every one. He fought like a warrior to the very end,” the Mason family said in a statement provided by the Knicks.

Mason won a Sixth Man Award with the Knicks and later made an All-Star team, but it was the toughness he provided alongside Charles Oakley while surrounding franchise center Patrick Ewing that made him beloved in New York.

The 6-foot-7 Mason won the NBA’s Sixth Man award in 1995 with a Knicks team that was eliminated in the second round of the playoffs in one of its classic clashes with Indiana.

Knicks President Phil Jackson, who coached the Chicago Bulls teams against the ‘90s Knicks, said that “as a competitor, there was none fiercer than Anthony Mason.”

Steele, Clothier third at state; Baldwin 4A champ J-W Staff Reports

Park City — Lawrence High junior wrestler Alan Clothier and Free State freshman Tate Steele both took third place in their respective weight classes at the Class 6A state tournament on Saturday at Hartman Arena.

Clothier, a 182-pounder, won by a 6-3 decision in his third-place match against Blue Valley Northwest senior Chris Lyons after trailing 3-1 entering the final period.

He won by pin in 2:56 in the consolation semifinals. Clothier finished the season with a 42-1 record.

“Sometimes kids just don’t bounce back from (a semifinals loss),” LHS coach Pat Naughton said.

“That’s one thing about Alan, he just looks at it like another challenge.

That’s what he did. He went out with a purpose.

He went out against Junction City (in the consolation semifinals) and was all about business and really just dominated that match.”

The 106-pounder Steele won by technical fall to advance to the third-place match, then defeated Olathe North freshman Jevon Parrish by a 6-4 decision. Steele, who had a 36-2 record this year, won in the consolation semifinals by technical fall, 15-0.

“You get tough competition, so his last two matches were tremendously hard,” FSHS coach Mike Gillman said. “He dominated the kid from Hutchinson in the semifinals of the consolation, and placed third ... so that’s a pretty good tournament for him.”

Free State junior Cameron Shanks (120 pounds) and freshman Isaiah Jacobs (126 pounds) advanced to the consolation quarterfinals before losing by pin and a 2-0 decision, respectively.

The Firebirds finished 19th in the team standings with 30.5 points, and the Lions took 21st with 24 points.

“There were a couple of shocking moments for a couple kids, ‘Oh, I didn’t know how crazy this was. I didn’t know how big this was,’” Gillman said. “For them to see that is awesome. For next year, the sky is the limit for us. We’ll return all of our state qualifiers except one, so the future is bright at Free State, for sure.”

Baldwin High’s wrestling team won its firstever team title in Class 4A, edging Chanute, 113-105, for first place.

Thomas Lisher (138 pounds) and Jon Pratt (152) both won state championships in their weight classes.

Late no-call bothers ’Horns

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Texas coach Rick Barnes was in no mood to complain about the officiating following Saturday’s 69-64 loss to No. 8 Kansas University at Allen Fieldhouse.

But the veteran Longhorns leader did not mind mentioning a couple of instances he thought were key to the outcome of the game. And he did so with an assist from ESPN broadcaster Jay Bilas, who offered his point of view on sophomore guard Isaiah Taylor’s drive to the rim with the Longhorns down two and under 10 seconds remaining.

“I wanted to know if that was a (foul) because from where I was sitting I thought it was,” Barnes said of Taylor’s strong take that missed and failed to draw a whistle.

“Jay Bilas walked right up to me and said, ‘Rick, he got fouled.’ I don’t know what you guys saw who were sitting right there.

I haven’t seen it. I’m just quoting Jay Bilas.”

On the play, Taylor, who led Texas with 17 points, eight assists and six rebounds, drove into the heart of KU’s defense from the left wing, soared toward the rim, absorbed some contact and threw up a wild shot. The shot missed, Taylor wound up on his back in the corner by the Texas bench, and Kansas knocked in a couple of free throws to ice the game.

That final play by Taylor was indicative of the kind of effort he put forth throughout the day. But the Jayhawks (23-6 overall, 12-4 Big 12) found a way to stop him when it mattered most.

“I thought Isaiah Taylor played one great game,” KU coach Bill Self said. “And he could get anywhere he wanted to get.”

Although Taylor’s stat line surely looked good to anyone who saw it, the Longhorns (17-12, 6-10) did not quite share Self’s positive outlook after the game.

“Our guys played hard, put themselves in a great position and had a chance to tie the game,” Barnes said. “When you’re fighting as hard as we did, you do feel like everything goes against you.”

One of the biggest things that went against the Longhorns was KU junior Perry Ellis, who led all scorers with 28 points and added 13 rebounds.

Ten of Ellis’ points came from the free-throw line, a product of both his aggressive play and a few bounces going KU’s way.

“You gotta give him credit for coming up with (those),” Barnes said. “I think one of them bounced off the backboard. Those things happen.”

Asked what he has seen from Ellis during the past few games that has helped him top 20 points in three consecutive games, Barnes spoke of Ellis’ experience.

“Just his tempo on offense,” he said. “I think he’s really simplified a lot of things. The fact that he’s been around and played a lot of games, you have to be impressed with the way he has improved. And being in a lot of big games and playing big minutes, you’d expect that from him.”

game since stats were officially compiled at KU starting in 1988-89.

“We rode Perry as hard as we’ve ever ridden him,” Self said of Ellis, who has scored 20 or more points in the last three games, 19 the game before that. “Perry has kind of carried us.

Perry has goals. He’s got dreams, but I think for the first time since he’s been here he’s actually playing at a level we all see him playing at. That’s being ultra-aggressive. When he’s ultra-aggressive, he’s as fast as anybody, as bouncy as anybody and can score with anybody.”

Ellis was so dominant UT coach Rick Barnes referred to him as a senior in his postgame media session.

“If he keeps playing well, he will be a senior, which is fine. It’s what you want. You want guys to play well so they can put themselves in good position (to decide whether to enter NBA Draft),” Self said. “Even though he’s a junior eligibility-wise, you keep playing like that ... there’s not a lot of people playing better than him right now.”

Ellis, who was four points off the career high 32 he scored against TCU his sophomore season, acknowledges this might have been his best game as a Jayhawk.

“I would say it’s one of my most aggressive games I played,” Ellis said. “I was aggressive the whole time out there.

It was a great feeling, going out there and attacking no matter if I miss a shot, get a shot blocked, just keep going.”

He said he has been praying a lot lately and actually visualizing his movements on the court before they happened.

“I’m taking it upon myself, believing in myself.

The main thing is just believing I can do it, and I’m doing it,” Ellis said.

He’s also showing more emotion on and off the court.

Ellis and Wayne Selden Jr. were the two players who organized a team meeting Tuesday in Jayhawker Towers, a day after the Jayhawks’ loss to Kansas State in Manhattan.

“The key thing we were talking about was what we can do better,” Ellis said. “We all agree we can give more effort.

That was the key focus

of things and not be the team to let everybody down (by not winning league).”

KU (23-6, 12-4) has a chance to wrap up at least a share of the league crown with a victory over West Virginia on Tuesday (8 p.m., Allen). Oklahoma, which is one game back, plays at Iowa State (two back, with West Virginia and Baylor) on Monday. If Iowa State wins, KU could wrap up an undisputed conference crown with a victory Tuesday.

KU’s chances of winning league looked like they might take a huge hit Saturday. The Jayhawks led 66-64, as Texas inbounded with 12:4 seconds left with a chance to go for the tie or win.

Isaiah Taylor (17 points, eight assists) stumbled past Frank Mason III and missed a high-arcing shot that was closely contested

by Jamari Traylor. Kelly Oubre Jr. rebounded and was fouled at 6.1 seconds.

His two free throws iced the game. Oubre finished with 15 points and nine boards, while Mason had 12 points and three assists.

“It was a fantastic win,” Self said of a victory attained with Cliff Alexander watching from the bench. He’s out an undetermined amount of the time as the NCAA looks into an undisclosed issue involving the Chicago freshman.

“We played tough.

For the most part, we carried out scouting report. We played through Perry. When you don’t make shots from the perimeter against a team like that (KU hit one of eight threes to UT’s six of 20), it’s hard to score inside. I thought our guys played very well and very tough,” Self added.

KU athletic director Sheahon Zenger said the NCAA “has alerted us to an issue that could affect Cliff’s eligibility. As a precautionary measure, Cliff will not take the court until we have resolved the issue.”

Prior to the game, KU coach Bill Self said: “We are committed to NCAA rules compliance, and we want to make sure we take every precaution to minimize the impact on Cliff.”

Self said he found out “approximately noon or 12:10” Saturday, prior to the 4 p.m. tipoff.

“I agree with what they told me. If there’s an issue, we have to hold him until it’s resolved. Hopefully it will be an issue that can be resolved in the very near future. I

have not been told details about it other than there’s a situation that involves Cliff. I’ve not heard anything other than it involves Cliff, not a KU situation, but a Cliff situation,” Self said.

“The NCAA obviously has to get to the bottom of it and figure out what’s going on. We understand that. Hopefully it’s done in a timely manner so we are not left in limbo, and the kid is not left in limbo. Hopefully it can be resolved, and we’ll move forward. We’ll cooperate and do whatever they need from us to hopefully resolve it in a very timely manner.”

Sports Illustrated reported that Alexander’s family has hired a Washington, D.C.-based attorney to address the issue.

Until it is resolved, he will practice but not play in games.

“I would think that would be the smart thing to do, without question,” Self said of hiring an attorney. “That’s not an

Kansas University officials announced that Alexander would not play against Texas after they were alerted to a potential eligibility issue involving Alexander by the NCAA. admittance of anything. I think you should always be represented when you have a legal issue.”

Asked if it is a concern KU may have played somebody ineligible, Self said: “I can’t answer that because I don’t know. We

haven’t been told it was a KU situation, so ... ” Again asked about concern of ramifications against KU for playing Alexander, he said, “I don’t think so. As soon as we found out about it, we’re on it. Hopefully it’ll come to be where everything is explained.”

Could it drag on?

“It could, I guess,” Self said. “I think that’s a possibility. I also think it’s a possibility — without me knowing anything — when the NCAA is trying to figure out if kids are eligible in late August before football season starts, they give it priority. Here is a situation that is happening at the most crucial time of basketball season.

I’ve got to believe it’s going to be given priority.

“Even if it’s given priority, that doesn’t necessarily mean everything happens fast. I’m sure there are things they will have to be comfortable with. I don’t know how long it will take.

I certainly hope it’s sooner rather than longer.”

The worst thing, Self noted, “is the timing You can deal with stuff if you see it coming. It’s hard to deal with stuff whenever it’s put on you like that.

There’s been numerous times the timing isn’t always the way you want it to be. Look at K-State.

Jamar Samuels didn’t play in the NCAA Tournament because of a timing issue. I’m not saying this is similar. When it happens, you have to deal with it. Unfortunately we had to deal with it today.”

KU junior Perry Ellis said the players, “had his (Alexander’s) back. We all wanted to play hard and we did.”

Ellis said he learned of Alexander’s status at morning shootaround.

“I was shocked. We don’t know what’s going on. The NCAA said something’s going on. He can’t play. During shootaround, we (bigs) said we have to step up and play big. Cliff’s not here, unfortunately. We had a couple words that we

had to be aggressive and a force to get rebounds, because they are a big team,” Ellis said.

KU outrebounded Texas, 41-39, in KU’s 69-64 victory. l

Zone defense: KU played a few possessions of 3-2 zone Saturday: “I’ve gotten enough crap from our fan base that we never play zone. I said we’d play two possessions here and see what it looks like,” Self cracked.

“The thing is, we couldn’t keep Taylor (Isaiah) out of the paint. The zone was actually good for us.” l

‘Unbelievable’ crowd: There was a full house on a snowy day. “Our crowd was unbelievable on a bad-weather day like this.

I even told the officials before the game, ‘Would you know it’s the worst weather day of the year?’”

Self said ... The fans enjoyed a few videos on Allen Fieldhouse, as Saturday was a celebration of 60 seasons in the building.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY COACH BILL SELF APPLAUDS THE CROWD as he leaves the floor following the Jayhawks’ 69-64 victory over Texas on Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse.

Keegan CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

a basketball game played in an especially loud Allen Fieldhouse.

“The toughest team wins it each night (in Big 12 games),” said Oubre, who delivered 15 points, nine rebounds, three blocked shots and two steals. “There are so many good teams in this league, even the teams whose record doesn’t show that they’re one of the best.”

Such as Texas (17-12 overall, 6-10 in the Big 12).

“Texas is a great team.

No knock against them, they’re one of the biggest teams in the league, and they showed that tonight with their blocked shots, their length,” Oubre said.

“I feel like if they were to go to any other conference, they’d be great.”

Texas blocked 14 shots, which didn’t make the Jayhawks run away and hide. Losing Cliff Alexander for who knows how long because the freshman from Chicago did something to raise NCAA eyebrows served as one more reminder that if Kansas is going to win games, it will have to do so with the junkyard mentality it brought to the playground Saturday.

Myles Turner blocked five shots, Prince Ibeh four. Like Joe Frazier taking shots to the jaw, the chin, the nose, both eyes, the Jayhawks kept plowing forward as their shots were swatted all over the place. They realized that basketball is more a prize fight than a beauty pageant.

KANSAS GUARD FRANK MASON III IS SLOW TO GET UP off the floor after having his shot blocked by a Texas defender during the first half.

“We had to keep attacking,” Oubre said.

“We had to go at their chest. We got a lot of them in foul trouble early. That was definitely the game plan because

they have Jonathan Holmes, who’s 6-8 at the three position. We needed to go at his chest because he had a good game down in Austin.”

Kansas shot just 40

percent from inside the arc and made just one of eight from beyond it, leaving only one place at which to win the game, the free-throw line. The Jayhawks made 26 of 32 (.813).

Ellis, Mason and Oubre all responded properly to losing a starter by trying to play bigger. They scored all but 14 of KU’s points.

“Perry stepped up big tonight, and I kind of tried to step it up on the glass because we lost a big body tonight,” Oubre said.

Alexander watched the game from a seat on the bench. The players found out somewhere in the 11-to-11:45 a.m. range, at the team shootaround, that Alexander would not play, Oubre said.

“I looked in his face,” Oubre said. “He wanted

to play so bad. He wanted to be out there so bad to prove himself.

It was tough for me to look at because I know if I were in his shoes, I’d be itching at the knees, just wanting to get in the game.”

Even when Alexander has been in the game this season, it has been difficult to tell that at times. He has had flashes and has superior athletic ability to all those playing in his place, but his basketball skill and savvy haven’t wowed anybody.

Still, Kansas has more potential with him than without him.

Not having him Saturday didn’t hurt Kansas.

But not getting him back, if that ends up being the case, can’t help.

Even with Alexander, Ellis lacks much help up front.

RACIAL DIVIDE

John Young/Journal-World Photo

The KU Theatre production opened Friday, and is in conjunction with Theatre Lawrence’s production of “Clybourne Park,” which also opened Friday and runs through March 8.

Theatre Lawrence, KU Theatre collaborate on ‘Clybourne Park,’ ‘Raisin in the Sun’ to examine race

By Joanna Hlavacek • Twitter: @hlavacekjoanna

I

f talking about race makes you uncomfortable, it may be time to ask yourself why.

That’s the idea behind Theatre Lawrence’s current production, “Clybourne Park,” which opened Friday and is being staged in conjunction with “A Raisin in the Sun” at Kansas University’s Crafton-Preyer Theatre.

Written by Bruce Norris in response to playwright Lorraine Hansberry’s 1959 classic, “Clybourne Park” examines race, real estate and the American Dream, all while providing some darkly funny moments, says director Piet Knetsch.

“It’s kind of that humor where you catch yourself laughing and you think,

IF YOU GO “A Raisin in the Sun” and “Clybourne Park” will play on the same dates through March 8. Customers can purchase tickets for both shows at a discount price of $35 at the KU Theatre and Theatre Lawrence box offices. For more information, including a show schedule, visit theatrelawrence.com and kutheatre.com.

‘Oh my God, I shouldn’t be laughing at that,’” Knetsch says. “It’s very intentional, and I think he tried to shock us, if you will, into a sense of awareness about ourselves — the way we judge each other, the way we interact with each other.”

Act I unfolds as a white

family moves out of their Chicago house to make way for its new owners — a black family called the Youngers who happen to be the neighborhood’s first.

Act II revisits the area 50 years later as a young, white couple plans to tear down the house and rebuild it. In 2009, after going from predominantly white to predominantly black, Clybourne Park is experiencing new changes in the form of gentrification.

The script presented a challenge for Knetsch and his seven-person cast, in that it requires each actor to play dual roles — one in 1959, the other in 2009.

‘Mr. Turner’ not a paint-by-numbers biopic

E

arly-19th-century artist J.M.W. Turner is now regarded as an innovator, elevating landscape and maritime paintings to high art. But by the time of his death in 1851, his work had fallen out of favor for being too abstract.

Director Mike Leigh’s biopic of Turner isn’t exactly abstract, but it’s definitely hard to pin down because it so carefully avoids the pitfalls of the genre. Rather than the standard series of career highlights and easy motivations told in flashbacks, “Mr. Turner,” now playing at Liberty Hall, is almost a pure character piece.

The facts of his life must often be inferred while everyday moments that are seemingly inconsequential to the “plot” of the movie build a rich portrait of a man full of contradictions.

Timothy Spall plays Turner, a waddling middle-aged chipmunk of a man who speaks mostly in grunts. His passion — which excludes all other pursuits in life — is capturing natural light and the sublime beauty of nature on canvas.

Turner lives a simple life with his beloved father (Paul Jesson), who makes sure he’s in constant supply of paint and canvas, and a softspoken housekeeper (Dorothy Atkinson), whom he casually takes advantage of sexually when the mood strikes him.

SCENE STEALERS

ERIC MELIN

eric@scene-stealers.com He neglects his former lover and their kids, brushing them off with the same indifference that he gives to art critic John Ruskin (Joshua McGuire), who is actually an enormous supporter of Turner’s work.

“Mr. Turner” covers 25 years of the contradictory painter’s life, and it

often feels like it, moving at a languorous pace over its two-and-a-half hours.

Like it’s subject, however, the film has an irascible charm. Leigh strips away the myth of the vaunted artist; the highly evolved being with special knowledge that sees into the souls of others. He also avoids the clichés that come with portraying an artist of Turner’s stature.

In London’s snobbish Royal Academy of Arts, Turner toys with the chattering gossip hounds and his fellow Romantic painters. Craving approval, his compatriots swirl around the great halls

— filled to the brim with works of art — while Turner relishes his position of standing. With one tiny yellow speck of paint dust, added to one of his masterpieces on the spot, he silences them all.

Leigh’s unusual screenplay strategy is well documented, and it pays dividends here once again. He and his actors research and rehearse extensively without a script to place them in the characters’ present.

Through these improvisations, a narrative is formed. All the actors have an unassuming naturalistic acting style

per usual, but it’s also clear that Leigh did his own extensive research on Turner’s life, incorporating very specific and personal details, right down to the painter’s last words.

In contrast to the understated acting, the cinematography is expansive and stirring.

Director of photography Dick Pope received a completely deserved Oscar nomination for his ravishing work on “Mr. Turner,” which emulates and achieves the rich, dramatic colors of its subject’s paintings.

For all of his gruffness and contradictions, Turner is a man who revels in the sublime beauty of art. An early scene in “Mr. Turner” encapsulates his paradoxes.

At a party, Turner is so moved by a girl playing a Purcell aria on a harpsichord that he stops to sing along.

It’s a moment that mirrors his place in the art world, as Turner’s voice is scratchy and off, even as his deep appreciation for the music is so finely tuned.

“Mr. Turner” is rated R for decidedly unsexy groping and awkward, mostly consensual sexual situations.

Birdman returns Well, the 87th Academy Awards are now in the record books, and the big winner of the night was Alejandro González Iñárritu’s “Birdman.” If you missed it the first time around, the movie is back at Liberty Hall for a second run.

Deservedly lauded for its daring technical achievement, this magical realist examination of ego should be seen by any serious film fan, even if its kicks are merely surfacelevel. It’s a shame that its win came at the expense of “Boyhood,” a deeply resonant film that will go down as a classic.

FORMER U.S. POET LAUREATE NATASHA TRETHEWEY will speak and read from selected works at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union.

Former U.S. Poet Laureate to visit KU for two events

By Joanna Hlavacek Twitter: @HlavacekJoanna

Former U.S. Poet Laureate Natasha Trethewey will speak and read from selected works at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union.

The event, titled “Poetry and History: An Evening with U.S. Poet Laureate (2012-2014) Natasha Trethewey,” is free and open to the public.

Sally Utech, associate director of the Hall Center for the Humanities, helped organize Trethewey’s visit, which is part of the Hall Center’s 2014-2015 Humanities Lecture Series.

“Her poetry deals with themes of class, race and gender. It’s a very American experience,” Utech says of Trethewey. “It’s not just about having a famous poet here — it’s about having someone who can open up a dialogue that we should be having anyway as a society.”

Trethewey is the author of several works, including 2012’s “Thrall,” an examination of historical representations of mixed-race families,

and “Native Guard,” for which she won the 2007 Pulitzer Prize.

In addition to her work as Poet Laureate, Trethewey has also received fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts, among others.

In addition to Tuesday’s event, Trethewey will participate in a less formal discussion at 10 a.m.

Wednesday in the Hall Center Conference Hall.

“The conversation gives people an opportunity to ask their own questions in a very intimate environment,” Utech says.

Also free and open to the public, the event will last about 90 minutes, Utech says. She says encourages everyone to attend, even those who can’t stay the full length.

“We understand that 90 minutes in the middle of the morning can be a lot for people to commit to,” she says. “It’s very welcome for people to come and go as they need.”

JOURNAL-WORLD PHOTOGRAPHER NICK KRUG has learned a thing or two about how to prepare and navigate a court-storming, such as this one when Kansas State fans rushed the court at Bramlage Coliseum on Feb. 23 after the Wildcats defeated the Jayhawks.

How to survive a court-storming

I

f my calculations are correct, Kansas University men’s basketball opponents are more or less good for about three to four courtstormings a season.

Giving them the benefit of the doubt, I’ll say that over the last 10 years of covering KU men’s basketball, I’ve felt the unwelcome breath of a raucous student section on the back of my neck when the final buzzer sounded on about 30 occasions. In this time, I’ve learned a few things about how to protect myself and how to convey the gravity of the moment without getting trampled.

First off, I think rushing the court is stupid, but that doesn’t change the fact that it still happens and I have to cover it when it does. So, if the game is close and KU is falling behind, usually, just looking into the eyes of that first row of students is enough to tell me that they’re coming and it’s going to be fast.

If it’s a venue that I haven’t been to before, I’ll sometimes ask one of the security guards what the likelihood is that students will rush the floor.

On a few occasions, I’ve even asked the students to give me a heads up and politely requested to not run me over.

With a couple of minutes left in the game, I try to minimize the amount of gear that I have on

BEHIND THE LENS

the floor. I limit myself to two camera bodies, a wide-angle lens and a mid-range telephoto.

During the timeouts, I’ll start feverishly pulling the plugs on my remote cameras, pack up my floor chair and start eliminating pieces of gear that I won’t need so none of it gets smashed into a thousand pieces when the floodgates open. Usually, I’ll sprint these back to the media room or dish them off to one of our writers nearby.

If a game comes down to one possession and I can see the students crouching as if waiting for a starter’s pistol, this is the point where I will shoot the final play from a standing position.

You can’t fully abandon your post, because a KU player may hit a buzzerbeater like Andrew Wiggins did last year against Texas Tech. But when the final score doesn’t

favor KU and the buzzer sounds, it’s either get moving or get trampled.

After making some unwise decisions in these situations earlier in my career, I’ve found it’s best to move with the crowd, click off a few frames and then veer off to one side or another.

In 2006, Christian Moody missed a couple of free throws that sent a game at Mizzou Arena into overtime, which the Jayhawks eventually lost 89-86. I remember coming to a halt to compose an image only to be sent hurdling to the floor with my gear flailing as I was overtaken by the rush of students. I think I ended up crawling my way over to the scorer’s table to avoid any more damage.

As intense as the moment seemed, I never thought any of the bumps that sent me to the floor were intentional. In fact, Monday’s court storming, which became national news when a Kansas State student charged into Kansas forward Jamari Traylor, is the only time I can really remember witnessing an aggressive act following a celebration. I guess this then begs the question: Why would an aggressive act occur during a celebration?

2010 companion piece, was inspired by true events from Hansberry’s childhood.

In 1938, her father, a successful real-estate broker, bought a house in Chicago’s Washington Park neighborhood. Legal efforts by white residents to force out the Hansberry family reached the U.S. Supreme Court in 1940.

The case, which ruled in favor of Carl Hansberry, became “one of the precedent-setting cases for anti-segregation legislation,” says Persley, who is also an assistant professor and the director of graduate studies in theater at KU. More than 50 years after its debut on Broadway, “A Raisin in the Sun” remains a relevant piece of social commen-

tary. The decision by Walter Younger to move his family to Clybourne Park — despite the treatment he faces from white neighbors — is a courageous one, Persley says.

That’s because the young man realizes his dream is about something greater than himself. It’s also about his family and community.

“If we can think more along those lines, maybe we can do more to effect social change on a micro level,” Persley says. “It doesn’t always have to be these big, giant things.

It can be just these little gestures and steps toward change that get us there.”

The First World War is usually remembered as a bloody conflict between rival alliances of nations. But there was another struggle: between people who regarded the war as a noble and necessary crusade, and a brave minority who felt it was tragic madness and who refused to fight. Writer Adam Hochschild will describe this in an illustrated talk based on his book: To End All Wars: A Story of Loyalty and Rebellion, 1914-1918.

“In some respects, unfortunately, not very many things have changed in that time,” he says of the 50 years between acts. “For example, when it comes to how communities are formed or how communities become isolated to a particular race of people. I think in a way Norris reinforces that by using the same actors.”

Norris, who won a 2011 Pulitzer and a 2012 Tony Award for his work, first read “A Raisin in the Sun” in school.

At the time, as a kid growing up in 1970s Texas, he more easily identified with Karl Lindler, the man who unsuccessfully attempts to buy the Younger family’s recently purchased house to keep them from moving to his all-white neighborhood.

Lindler is the play’s sole white character. And its antagonist.

“Bruce Norris has said he’s writing to white audiences, asking them to think through what it means to have white privilege to some degree, and I think that’s pretty powerful,” says Nicole Hodges Persley, who is directing KU’s “Raisin” production. “And what does it mean to be on the other side when you’re not afforded that privilege?”

When “A Raisin in the Sun” premiered at New York City’s Ethel Barry Theatre in 1959, it made history as the first play written by a black woman to be produced on Broadway.

Hansberry later noted how the drama introduced a realistic and complex picture of black life to overwhelmingly white Broadway audiences.

Beneatha Younger, its protagonist, is a woman who in 1959 “doesn’t exist yet within the black community,” says Persley. An aspiring doctor and budding feminist, Beneatha struggles to find her place in a society where ideals like hers are just starting to emerge on the national level.

“In the ’50s, you have a rise of black leaders and literary figures who are saying that AfricanAmericans have a right to construct themselves in the way they actually live, not the way that dominant society has constructed them,” Persley says. “That’s an interesting place to be, especially when there are so many African-Americans are striving toward success, and success is equated with a certain type of representation of blackness that may or may not coincide with how Beneatha’s feeling at the moment.”

A colorful history ————————

Exhaustive chronicle of Technicolor sheds light on the format’s rocky start

By Susan King Los Angeles Times

Most feature films made during the Golden Age of Hollywood were in black and white, so audiences were dazzled when a movie exploded in Technicolor. The rich, flamboyant use of Technicolor in such late 1930s classics as “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” “The Adventures of Robin Hood,” “The Wizard of Oz” and “Gone With the Wind” enchants audiences in the digital era.

But it took nearly two decades for Technicolor to become so glorious.

“The Dawn of Technicolor: 1915-1935,” an exhaustively researched book published by the George Eastman House and written by James Layton and David Pierce, explores the early years of Technicolor and includes some 400 photographs and an annotated filmography for the early two-strip process that, because of technical limitations of the time, couldn’t replicate natural blues, purples and yellows.

Technicolor was founded a century ago by Herbert T. Kalmus, a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a physicist; fellow MIT graduate Daniel F. Comstock, who was an engineer, physicist and professor; and mechanical engineer and inventor

TECHNICOLOR’S THREE-COLOR PROCESS RADICALLY CHANGED THE FILM INDUSTRY, but the development of color was messy. Technical hiccups and issues with representing blues, purples and yellows hindered the format in its early years.

W. Burton Wescott.

Kalmus, Comstock and Wescott didn’t have any experience in motion pictures, Layton said, but they saw opportunity when a British color system called Kinemacolor was proving problematic.

“It flickered a lot on the screen and caused headaches,” said Layton, an assistant archivist in the Moving Image Department at the George Eastman House. “Burton Wescott saw a demonstration and saw the flaws.”

He took the sample of

the film back to the lab, and his team tried to improve it, Layton said.

“They came up with an improved camera and improved way of projecting it,” he said. “That was the first Technicolor process.”

Noted film historian Pierce said the then-new company Technicolor was similar to the modern Silicon Valley start-up.

“They raised investments from Boston bankers, railroad magnates, people who were looking to invest their fortune that could turn out to be very

profitable,” Layton added.

Technicolor’s first film, “The Gulf Between” in 1917, was a disaster. The company had technical problems in the presentation and had to go back to the drawing board.

Five years later, the company’s next film, “The Toll of the Sea,” was a marked improvement in photography and color design. Still, Layton said, the two-strip process couldn’t reproduce the full spectrum, so Technicolor had to control a film’s palette carefully.

New makeup had to be created because the makeup used in black-and-white films looked artificial.

“They had problems with the way color photographed under different lighting,” Layton said.

“So the solution was to have different sets of costumes. They were made of different colors, but when photographed, they appeared to match.”

Technicolor sometimes needed as much as five times the light of a blackand-white film. Banks of lights were needed to illuminate enormous stages, Layton said. Temperatures inside the studios became unbearable. “There are stories of actors’ makeup just sort of dripping off their faces,” Layton said.

Technicolor’s fortunes boomed in 1929 and early 1930 when Warner Bros. gave the company a lucrative contract to make several color musicals.

But with so many movies in the pipeline, the quality of the prints suffered.

Audiences grew tired of stagy musicals. Because color was so closely associated with musicals, Warner Bros. pulled the plug.

It was the three-strip Technicolor process, which replicated the full spectrum, that saved the company.

Technicolor struck a deal with Walt Disney to make animated shorts in the three-strip format.

In 1933, Disney scored its first big hit with the three-color process with “Three Little Pigs.”

“It made an enormous amount of money for Disney,” Layton said, adding that is what helped fund “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.”

BOOK REVIEW

‘The Whites’ delivers genuine, gritty New York police action

By John Wilwol Newsday

Early in the movie “The Blues Brothers,” Elwood tries to sell Jake on the duo’s new Bluesmobile, a used police car he picked up at auction to replace their old Cadillac.

“It’s got a cop motor,” he explains. “Cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks.”

This isn’t a bad way to describe what makes Richard Price’s new novel so extraordinary, either. “The Whites,” written under the pen name Harry Brandt, delivers a riveting crime tale thoroughly steeped in gritty cop irony, cop slang, cop attitudes and cop justice.

It centers on Billy

Graves, a Nassau Countybred 42-year-old NYPD Night Watch detective, whose steady nocturnal diet of energy drinks, Camel Lights and homicides have left him so haggard, his “crushedcellophane gaze” once earned him a senior citizens discount at the movies.

When he first joined the force in the 1990s, Billy rolled with a tight anti-crime crew called the Wild Geese, seven young, hungry cops who were “given a ticket to ride in one of the worst precincts of the East Bronx.” Within five years, all seven had risen from “street soldier” to detective. There, working as investigators,

each encountered what they called a “White” — a personal adversary that “had committed criminal obscenities on their watch and walked away untouched by justice.” “ T h e Whites” opens, as any good New York City police novel probably should, on the night of St. Patrick’s Day. There’s been a murder at Penn S t a tion on the “long, greasy, lower-level arcade” that brings Long Island commuters to the subway.

“The victim lay on his side, neck and torso compressed into a hunch, his left arm and leg thrust straight out before him as if he were trying to kick his own fingertips.”

The stiff happens to be the White of one Wild Geese member.

Soon other Whites fall as well. Are the deaths a coincidence? Or is it open season on bad guys?

Meanwhile, a haunted, brutal man with tragic ties to Billy closes in. He’s out

to settle an old debt — and he has a reputation for exacting the ultimate price.

Price, the Bronx-raised author of “Clockers” and “Lush Life” who also wrote for HBO’s “The Wire,” is known for his vivid portrayals of the streets, and here he draws physical and emotional torment knowingly and authentically.

“The Whites” is especially good at capturing New York City’s peculiar brand of violent crime.

One of Billy’s runs late in the book, for example, is a “four a.m. outdoor scene in the West Village, where a homeowner had been shot by his lawn mower while cutting the backyard.” (A stray, live

.357 round hidden in the grass was sucked up and ignited.) Later, there’s the theft of a “two-hundredpound bluefin tuna worth seven thousand dollars from the kitchen of a sushi restaurant on Park Avenue South.”

Early in the book, Billy and another Wild Geese member visit the family of a victim, and the father perfectly captures what “The Whites” brilliantly portrays — the tragic human desire to see the violent among us pay violently for their sins. “Our pastor says Jesus wants us to try and forgive,” he says, “but I’ll tell you, these last few years? I’m all about the God of the Jews.”

KANSAS CITY CONNECTION

By Lucas Wetzel

Women artists in the spotlight of guns were twisted into floral arrangements, with spent shells housing tubes of lipstick.

Following last year’s shooting at the Jewish Community Center and the nearby Village Shalom, in which three people were killed, gallery organizers decided Village Shalom residents would rather not be confronted by gun imagery of any kind, even that as subtly and skillfully fashioned as Lighton’s pieces.

She has since replaced them with other works.

The conversation about art’s value as a political and social conversation starter continues, however, and this is an exhibit you’ll want to see for yourself. Located at 123rd Street and Nall, The Epsten Gallery is free to visit and open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Tuesday through Friday, and from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Saturday and Sunday.

The Women to Watch exhibit runs through March 22. Visit epstengallery.org for more information and to preview upcoming exhibits.

First Friday This Friday is the first

from $55 to $140 at ticketmaster.com.

Looking ahead, the KC Symphony recently announced it has added a show with singer Randy Newman to its schedule on June 10. Newman, of course, is the six-time Grammy winner famous for songs like “Sail Away” and “You’ve Got a Friend in Me,” from the 1995 film “Toy Story.”

Tickets range from $49 to $89 and are for sale online or by calling (816) 471-0400.

Speaking of iconic septuagenarian songwriters, the inimitable Bob Dylan will be visiting this spring for a May 10 concert at the Music Hall of Kansas City, which is located in the second floor of Municipal Auditorium. No word yet on how stacked the set list will be with Sinatra covers, so keep an eye on bobdylan.com, where tickets are on sale.

“Spilling Pipe,” 2014, earthenware and glaze, by Lauren Mabry of the month, which means that galleries throughout the Crossroads will be debuting new exhibits and art sales.

One gallery worth checking out is the Belger Crane Yard, a little east of the main First Friday action at 2011 Tracy.

The current exhibit is “Passages,” a series of “painterly sculptures” by Lauren Mabry.

Belger Crane Yard is also home to Red Star Studios, which houses artists’ studios, ceramics sales and weekend

art classes. View more details at redstarstudios. org.

Concerts Next weekend, the Kansas City Symphony performs Beethoven’s “Leonore” Overture No. and Schumann’s “Rhenish” Symphony at the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts. Tickets are available at kcsymphony.org.

Kidney disease screening could be lifesaving Dear Annie: I was diagnosed with kidney disease as a child and started dialysis at age 11. Because I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think I would live to adulthood, I adopted the philosophy of living each day like it was my last. In 2013, when I saw an ad for the National Kidney Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kidney Walk, I figured I had nothing to lose by participating.

The day of the walk, a large group of family and friends showed up bright and early, and we raised well over $1,000 to support the National Kidney Foundation. I was overwhelmed by all the love and support I received that day. I thought life was unfair, but at the Kidney Walk, I saw that thousands of others are also fighting

Annieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mailbox

CBS offers dark spin on buddy cops Based on a script written by Vince Gilligan (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Breaking Badâ&#x20AC;?)

10 years ago, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Battle Creekâ&#x20AC;? (9 p.m., CBS) shares a great deal of the dark humor and whimsy that make â&#x20AC;&#x153;Badâ&#x20AC;? and its sequel â&#x20AC;&#x153;Better Call Saulâ&#x20AC;? so appealing.

Set (but not shot) in this Michigan city that has seen better days, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Battle Creekâ&#x20AC;? stars Dean Winters as Russ Agnew, a jaded homicide detective on a woefully underfunded police force. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first seen commandeering a video camera from a frightened dad who had been documenting his daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dance recital. Later, Agnew and a fellow officer (Kal Penn) are forced to use a baby monitor as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;wireâ&#x20AC;? on an undercover informant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;CSIâ&#x20AC;? this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

Into their broke and dysfunctional office waltzes FBI Special Agent Milt Chamberlain (Josh Duhamel). Given all the resources of the federal government, he quickly trumps Agnewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gumshoe intuition with a wealth of technology and forensics.

But he also brings something money cannot buy, the aura of good looks, impeccable breeding, extraordinary confidence and an unflappable faith that good might reside in even the most depraved suspect or perpetrator.

Combine Chamberlainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sunshine with Agnewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dark cloud and you have the perfect pairing of philosopher buddy cops.

They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t share the brooding, gothic banter of â&#x20AC;&#x153;True Detective,â&#x20AC;? but their conversations resonate with some profound human questions. Has Agnewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weary nature â&#x20AC;&#x153;earnedâ&#x20AC;? him his squalid station in life? Do good things happen to those who exude goodness?

As in allegorical religious tales, names can mean everything. Milt Chamberlain evokes one of basketballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most gifted athletes. Agnew recalls a vice presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crude corruption.

Tonightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other highlights O Elizabethâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staff misses evidence of corruption on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Madam Secretaryâ&#x20AC;? (7 p.m., CBS).

O Colin believes a fictional TV character is based on his life on â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Good Wifeâ&#x20AC;? (8 p.m., CBS).

O Humanity seems on the ropes on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Walking Deadâ&#x20AC;? (8 p.m., AMC).

O Dinner and a show on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Girlsâ&#x20AC;? (8 p.m., HBO).

Watered with three ponds, Bull Creek, the north branch of the Verdigris and springy draws and valleys, this pasture can handle dry weather with the best!

Well, this parcel has summer grass, water and just enough timber along the draws and streams to offer great protection for livestock in your winter program!
