Social welfare dean stepping down

By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

The dean of Kansas University’s School of Social Welfare submitted his resignation Wednesday, after less than a year on the job, citing “daunting challenges” at the school.

Paul Smokowski said

key factors included dwindling financial resources dating to the previous administration, his desire to maintain the “high level of research productivity” he came to KU with, and — the factor that’s been most visible on campus and social media recently — student diversity

protests that targeted him personally.

He called those “obstacles to moving the school forward.”

Smokowski said, in a letter addressed to the School of Social Welfare community, that during his brief tenure at KU, he tried to contribute to the well-being of the

school by identifying and dealing immediately with “areas of concern that can no longer be left unaddressed” but at times fell short.

“It is clear that the best way for me to contribute to the future health of the university Paul Smokowski assumed the Please see DEAN, page 8A post a year ago.

Topeka — A Kansas Senate committee is considering a bill that would force cities and counties to turn over to the state more of the revenue they receive from traffic tickets.

Under Senate Bill 403, discussed Wednesday by the Senate Ways and Means Committee, any traffic ticket money revenue that exceeds Inside: 10 percent of a muLimits nicipality’s annual on land revenue would donations go into the state’s elicit general fund. Also, concern. municipal courts would have to LEGISLATURE 5A hand over 70 percent of all revenue they collect from traffic violations on highways.

The city of Lawrence is one of the entities fighting against the legislation. Lawrence officials sent written testimony to the Senate committee, saying the practice would be costly to implement and a burden on city staff. It would require new software to track the locations of citations, the testimony stated, and staff would be forced to allocate time to complete more financial reports for the state.

It’s also simply “unfair,” states the letter, signed by Mayor Mike Amyx.

Cuts CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

The KU administration, through KU Vice Chancellor for Public Affairs Tim Caboni, declined to answer further budget questions Wednesday beyond the chancellor’s written statement.

“We continue to work closely with the Governor’s Office, the Regents and state legislators,” Gray-Little said. “We will keep you posted as we learn more.”

Gray-Little’s statement was in reaction to Tuesday’s news that state revenues fell $53.6 million short of expectations in February, creating a budget deficit for the current fiscal year.

Gov. Sam Brownback notified Board of Regents universities he was implementing a 3 percent, or $17 million, “allotment” cut.

Breeze Richardson, spokeswoman for the Board of Regents, had said immediately after Brownback announced the cut that it would be up to the board to decide

how to distribute those cuts among the six universities and that the cuts wouldn’t necessarily be spread evenly across the board. She said the decision would be announced by the end of the week.

But on Wednesday, the Regents reversed course and announced the cuts would be spread evenly, and the decision was made without a full meeting of the board.

“The Division of Budget assumed the 3 percent (state general fund) allocation would be applied equally across the affected institutions and asked the Board of Regents to confirm,” Richardson said in an email.

“Given the full board wasn’t scheduled to meet until March 23, and a decision was needed quickly, the chair of the board (Shane Bangerter) was consulted, and based on prior discussions with the board regarding preference when an allotment is made coupled with the spirit of the board’s stated legislative position that no monies be moved between state universities, confirmation was given that the 3 percent allocation will be applied

“It is not the local governments, or (their) taxpayers, that caused the state’s financial crisis,” the letter reads.

Eric Smith, legal counsel for the League of Kansas Municipalities, was one of a number of people who showed up to testify against the bill. Nobody spoke in favor of it.

“I’m not sure what this bill’s intending to do except take money,” Smith said.

Any courts that don’t

comply would be shut down until they do, the Topeka Capital-Journal reported.

The city of Lawrence took issue with the penalty, saying in its testimony that it’s “deeply disturbing.”

“To suspend a municipal court’s jurisdiction will only harm the innocent victims of crimes who will be further inconvenienced by delays and a transfer to District Court,” the letter reads.

Kansas City Municipal Court Judge Maurice Ryan said the legislation would cost his court $330,000 annually, on top of the more

than $500,000 in revenue the city already sends to the state from traffic ticket revenue.

“This bill, as presented, while admirable, is a cure looking for a disease,” Ryan said.

He said the disease is when cities such as Ferguson, Mo., collect inordinate amounts of revenue from traffic violations and perpetuate a cycle of poverty.

Several opponents of the bill testified that no Kansas communities are comparable to Ferguson.

“We do not know of a city that’s receiving 10 percent,” said Ed Klumpp with

the Kansas Association of Chiefs of Police.

Lawrence officials said the city’s revenue from traffic infractions falls “well below” the 10 percent.

Law enforcement groups and other local government entities, including the Kansas Association of Counties and the city of Lindsborg, spoke against the measure.

The committee took no action on the legislation Wednesday.

Board warms up to East 9th design

From the Archives

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

The latest design for a proposed arts corridor on East Ninth Street drew support Wednesday from a citizens advisory committee created to oversee the project.

In what was intended to be the committee’s last meeting before a final design was taken to the Lawrence City Commission, Josh Shelton, of architecture firm el dorado inc., presented committee members with two options: a design that would include dedicated bike lanes but reduce green space, and another that implemented a shared path and added overall green space.

“Very candidly, I’ll say we are recommending the scheme with the shared path,” Shelton said. “It wasn’t where I expected to be tonight, but after meting with you all the last two times, extensive meetings with the city and other boards, this is where we’ve landed.”

Some committee members agreed, saying the design was an “awesome solution” and “makes the most sense.”

No one said they’d prefer the option with dedicated bike lanes.

Shelton said he would take the feedback from Wednesday’s meeting, make changes, and come back to the East Ninth Citizens Advisory Committee on March 30 with the final drafted design.

Previous versions of the design for the East Ninth project, the seven blocks from Massachusetts to Delaware streets, had sparked concerns about ADA compliance, street width on the dedicated truck route, parking and the integrity of a historic brick sidewalk, among other issues.

The newest design eliminates some of those controversies, Shelton said. An 8-foot-wide shared path along the south side of the road would be ADA compliant and could be used by bicyclists, he said. It would also allow for space to keep the historic brick sidewalk from New Jersey Street past Pennsylvania Street.

Health advocates continue push to expand Medicaid

Topeka — Kansas hospital officials and other health care advocates gathered in Topeka on Wednesday to organize for a legislative fight to expand the state’s Medicaid system, known as KanCare, as allowed under the Affordable Care Act. But chances either chamber of the Legislature will take up the issue this year now appear slim, despite earlier assurances from Senate President Susan Wagle, R-Wichita, that the issue would get a vote this year.

Tom Bell, president and CEO of the Kansas Hospital Association, acknowledged he is not optimistic it will happen.

“If we could have a policy discussion about this rather than a political discussion, we’d be miles ahead. But I don’t know that that’s going to happen,” he said.

Last month, Wagle removed Sen. Mary PilcherCook, R-Shawnee, as chair of the Health and Human Services Committee as punishment after Pilcher-Cook tried to add the Hospital Association’s bill as an amendment onto an unrelated bill.

— Tom Bell, president and CEO of the Kansas Hospital Association The bill, Senate Bill 371, had not even had a hearing, but Pilcher-Cook said she wanted the Senate to vote it down in order to send a message to the House that the Senate had no interest in Medicaid expansion.

In announcing PilcherCook’s removal as chair of the committee, Wagle issued a press release Feb. 13 saying, “The body will take up the question of KanCare expansion under ObamaCare for a vote in the next few weeks.” But she added, “Once that vote is taken, I think it will be clear that a majority of the Kansas Senate firmly oppose expansion of KanCare under Obamacare.”

It was a re-enactment of key chapters from the novel “To Kill a Mockingbird” — taking place in the historic Douglas County courtroom and complete with characters in costume — for students in her freshman literature classes who were reading the novel.

LHS Principal Matt Brungardt said that part of what makes Lauxman an effective teacher is her ability to relate well with students.

“She has a personality, like a lot of teachers, where she can connect with a wide range of students,” he said.

Lauxman was named one of seven members of the 2016 class of Kansas Master Teachers on Wednesday.

Lauxman said one of the ways she

tries to connect with students is creating lessons that are in some way attached to their personal interests or goals.

KU student body vice president George resigns

By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

Kansas University’s student body vice president is resigning his post to start a full-time job in Washington, D.C. Zach George announced his resignation Wednesday.

George, a senior from Ottawa, graduated in December with degrees in political science and public administration and has been enrolled at KU this semester as a nondegreeseeking student, he said. He was offered a full-time job with

the National Association of Counties, which he starts at the end of March.

“It’s something that I couldn’t pass up,” he said.

George said his resignation will be effective at the end of the March George 9 Senate meeting. He said that night the Senate will choose a new vice president — someone from the Senate’s current ranks — to complete his unfinished term.

Senate elections for the up-

coming school year are set for April 13, according to the Senate calendar. Newly elected officers take the reins April 27.

George said the National Association of Counties job was an “extraordinary opportunity” but that leaving Senate before the end of the year was a difficult decision.

“It’s an understatement to say that this year is one for the record books,” George said in an email to fellow senators.

“Although there were turbulent times, I’m proud of what Student Senate and the Executive Staff has accomplished this year. I can say with complete confidence that this Senate has been the most productive body during my time at KU.” George, Student Body President Jessie Pringle and Student Senate Chief of Staff Adam Moon held on to their positions and continued leading Senate business through an ouster attempt that began after KU’s town hall forum on race in November.

The impeachment attempt, put in motion with a vote by the Senate’s Student Executive Committee, stemmed from diversity issues and involved a lengthy list of grievances against the three officers dating back to last spring. Impeachment proceedings died in January, when the full Student Senate voted not to move forward with them.

Proposal would limit conservation easements

By Peter Hancock

“

If we don’t like what the landowner wants to do agriculturally, we don’t take the easement. If they don’t like the — A bill being sup- terms of our easement, they don’t take the easement.”

Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka ported by several rural lawmakers that would limit the ability of landowners to set aside land for conservation in perpetuity drew strong opposition Wednesday from environmental groups and the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism.

Senate Bill 425 would give counties authority to regulate the use of conservation easements, a tool that allows property owners to set aside land for conservation, even after the person granting the easement sells the property or dies.

Supporters of the bill say those easements permanently impair the ability of future generations of farmers to use the land, although they are still required to pay for maintenance and property taxes.

Ondre Rexford, a farmer from Meade County in southwest Kansas, testified at an earlier

— Rob Manes, state director of The Nature Conservancy hearing last month and said he and his family “are a glaring example of the consequences to future generations” from perpetual conservation easements.

In 2011, he said, his 94-year-old grandfather sold such an easement to the Natural Resource Conservation Service, an arm of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, for what his grandfather described as “a whale of a lot of money,” not knowing that he was signing away cerain rights to the land forever.

“As a result of the easement, the only use we have of the property is to lease it for hunting,” he said in written testimony. “The hunting lease covers less than half of the annual property tax bill —

provided we can keep it leased.”

The bill would give counties authority to adopt regulations establishing standards and conditions for conservation easements, including the duration of easements and the types of property eligible for such easements.

But as hearings on the bill continued Wednesday, Wildlife Parks and Tourism Secretary Robin Jennison said conservation easements are an important tool for protecting natural resources. He also said he took offense at Rexford’s story, and the suggestion that farmers and ranchers aren’t sophisticated enough to understand easement contracts.

“Agriculture has been my

business for my life until I got here,” said Jennison a former farmer from Healy and a former Speaker of the Kansas House.

“My dad will be 90 years old in August. He would not dream of doing something like that without consulting an attorney.”

Rob Manes, state director of the Nature Conservancy, an organization that purchases conservation easements from landowners, also testified against the bill, saying conservation easements are voluntary contracts.

“It gives an organization like mine the ability to effect a conservation goal that’s commensurate with a landowner’s vision without owning or getting involved in the agricultural management of that land,” he said. “If we don’t like what the landowner wants to do agriculturally, we don’t take the easement. If they don’t like the terms of our easement, they don’t take the easement.”

County to move forward on criminal justice council

By Elvyn Jones Twitter: @ElvynJ

The Douglas County Commission on Wednesday instructed staff to prepare a resolution creating a Criminal Justice Coordinating Council.

Commissioners said they expected the resolution creating the body to be considered at their March 9 meeting.

Commissioners agreed voting members of the coordinating council would be the chief judge of the

Douglas County District Court; the sheriff; the district attorney; a county commissioner; a member of the Douglas County defense bar whom the County Commission would appoint; the Lawrence police chief; a Lawrence municipal judge; a Lawrence city commissioner; the county director of youth services; the DCCCA director; and the executive director of the Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center. In addition, each of the three county commissioners

will appoint a community member to the body.

Non-voting members will include the county administrator and the Lawrence city manager.

The purpose of the coordinating council as stated in County Administrator Craig Weinuag’s memorandum to the County Commission is to establish goals and priorities for public safety programs and policies and maintain public safety through new alternatives that increase successful

outcomes for long-term offenders, improve identification and analysis of issues in local correctional facilities, improve stakeholder cooperation and coordination in the criminal justice system, and assure effective allocation of resources among programs.

Commissioners agreed the coordinating council would require staff support. Someone would be needed to take minutes of meetings and similar functions, while another would

be needed to collect and analyze data from the different agencies involved.

One of the goals was to keep the coordinating council small enough to be action-oriented, Commission Chairman Jim Flory said. There would be room for more voices through working groups of subcommittees the coordinating council appointed for specific issues, he said.

4 county officials voice intent to seek re-election Only one of seven Douglas County elected officials whose positions are on the ballot this year has filed for re-election, but three others told the Journal-World this week they would seek another four years in office.

The positions of Douglas County clerk, district attorney, register of deeds, sheriff and treasurer will be on the 2016 ballot. Two positions on the Douglas County Commission, the 2nd District

seat of incumbent Democrat Nancy Thellman and the 3rd District seat will also be on the ballot.

Commissioner Jim Flory announced last month he would not run for a third term for the 3rd District seat of western Douglas County. Wakarusa resident and fellow Republican Michelle Derusseau has filed to run for the position.

Thellman said Monday she would run for the 2nd District seat, which represents East Lawrence, Baldwin City and Eudora.

McNair said she found positive role models at the club, which contributed to her desire to become a teacher and provide a similar example for kids in the future.

“The Boys & Girls Club staff reminded me that what kids have to say is important,” McNair said in her speech.

“Whether the activity we were doing at the club was educational or just for fun, the staff were being positive examples of how to treat others.”

McNair competed against nine other candidates for the Kansas Youth of the Year title Tuesday evening in Topeka, according to the release. A panel of five judges evaluated each candidate based on a timed interview process, three speech presentations throughout the day and essays submitted before the event.

As winner of the state title, McNair will take part in the Southwest Regional Youth of the Year contest June 20 in Dallas. Regional winners are awarded a four-year, renewable scholarship of $10,000, and go on to the national competition.

The Lawrence school district named Lauxman the Lawrence Master Teacher in December and nominated her for the statewide honor.

Lauxman is also known for the therapy dog, a golden retriever named Roxy, that she brings to school everyday. Lauxman said that Roxy is an important part of her classroom because she provides emotional support for students.

“I find that kids just really gravitate toward her when they’re having a tough day, or maybe they are a little less motivated to come to school,” she said. “They come in and she’s always there wagging her tail and happy to see them.”

Each recipient of the Kansas Master Teacher award receives a $1,000 stipend as part of the award, provided by Bank of America. Emporia State established the awards in 1953, and the program has been supported by Bank of America since 1980.

Lauxman began teaching at LHS in 2007. She received a bachelor’s degree in English from Washburn University and a master’s in curriculum and instruction from Kansas University.

In her time at LHS, Lauxman has also become known for her openness — K-12 education reporter Rochelle toward new teaching Valverde can be reached at 832-6314 methods. She has incoror rvalverde@ljworld.com. porated two new initia-

BRIEFLY Volunteers needed to help plant flowers The Parks and Recreation Department is looking for volunteers to help plant flowers in downtown Lawrence and city parks.

There are 13 available time slots in April and May. Parks and Rec staff need the assistance of 10 to 12 volunteers per time slot.

Design

ed in 2008 to the County Commission.

One of her motivations in seeking another term was her desire to continue working on issues involving the expansion of the Douglas County Jail, the construction of a mental health crisis center and creation of a mental health court, Thellman said.

She said she also looked forward to continuing efforts to support small farmers and a local food network and promoting efforts to create more affordable housing opportunities.

Douglas County Clerk Jamie Shew and Register of Deeds Kay Pesnell said they, too, would seek reelection.

Pesnell is the only incumbent county official to make her intentions official, having filed in January for another term. The Democrat was first elected to the office in 2004 after being appointed to fill an unexpired term in 2002.

Shew said he hadn’t walked across his office to file but would run for another four years in the position he first won in 2004.

District Attorney

Charles Branson and Sheriff Ken McGovern said Wednesday that they were not ready to announce their intentions.

County Treasurer Paula Gilchrist wasn’t available for comment.

Also on the ballot this year will be township trustees and treasurers, said Ben Lampe, deputy elections clerk for the Douglas County Clerk’s Office.

The deadline to be on the August primary and November general election ballot is noon on June 1, Lampe said.

Medicaid

uninsured individuals has not dropped substantially.

But hospitals are still taking the loss from reduced Medicare payments.

Terry Deschaine, a trustee at the Sumner Regional Medical Center in Wellington, said voters in Wellington recently approved a 1-cent sales tax to help keep the local hospital afloat. But he said there are an estimated 31 hospitals in Kansas, mostly in small communities, that are at risk of having to close in the near future.

“If half of these 31 hospitals at risk in Kansas would end up closing in their communities, that would be, in my opinion, total devastation to those communities,” he said.

Rob Freelove, who is CEO and medical director at Salina Family Health Care, said the lack of Medicaid expansion in Kansas has made it hard for his facility to recruit doctors.

“I think what it shows is a lack of support, and a lack of understanding of the benefits of health and primary care, access to health and support for physicians,” he said.

Deschaine said the only way to get Medicaid — City Hall reporter Nikki Wentling can expansion in Kansas may be reached at 832-7144 or nwentling@ ljworld.com. be for voters to demand it at the ballot box.

“We need our legislators to support us on BIRTHS something that is so basic Amanda and Lionel and such a no-brainer,” he said. “If they don’t, Sander, Lawrence, a girl, Wednesday. then we need to go out Andy and Dyana and find somebody else.” Krzanowsky, Lawrence, a

The AVID program’s goal is to help a wider range of students succeed in advanced placement classes and prepare for college, and blended learning “blends” lecture-based instruction with online resources to help teachers create individualized lessons for students.

“Blended learning just really allows me to give kids more hands-on instruction, so I can deliver information in the way that they receive it best, and they can choose their own path and their own pace of learning,” Lauxman said.

Brungardt said that Lauxman’s initiatives with blended learning and AVID are examples of her innovation and drive.

“She’s willing to take new projects on,” he said. “…She just develops a great classroom environment where all students can learn.”

The 2016 Master Teachers will be honored April 6 at Emporia State University.

Since then, though, no action has been taken on the bill, and the new interim chairman of the committee, Sen. Michael O’Donnell, R-Wichita, said that he has no intention of holding hearings on it.

Wagle said Wednesday the language of the bill could be amended into another bill dealing with Medicaid or health care, but such a move would likely mean it would only be debated on the floor of the Senate and would never have a committee hearing in which advocates could present data and testimony.

Meanwhile, advocates who spoke during a panel discussion at the Kansas Hospital Association’s forum said rural communities are paying a heavy price for the Legislature’s refusal to even discuss Medicaid expansion.

Rural hospitals have been hit particularly hard because part of the financing for the Affordable Care Act comes from reducing payments to hospitals from Medicare, the federal health insurance program for the elderly, in exchange for getting more people enrolled through Medicaid or private insurance, which would reduce the amount of money they lose from treating the uninsured.

In states like Kansas that have chosen not to expand Medicaid, the number of

But parking remained a concern among some committee members.

According to data Shelton presented Wednesday, 72 parking spaces exist in that stretch of East Ninth. The bike-lane option would cut that to 41 spaces. The preferred design with the shared path would cut it to 45 spaces.

Most of the lost spaces would be in the four blocks from Connecticut to Pennsylvania streets.

“Parking is such a squeeze, and the losses are mostly in the residential part of the scheme,” said Dave Loewenstein, with the East Lawrence Neighborhood Association. “Those spaces are used a lot, some of them as regular parking spaces for people who live there.”

Shelton said he would go back and try to fit in another few spots.

It was also brought up that the street could be dangerous if people aren’t properly educated on its new features. One committee member recommended putting up signs for drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians. Another member proposed limiting the speed limit to 20 mph, and Shelton said he’d like to put in four-way stops at every intersection.

If the final design gains support from the committee on March 30, Shelton will start the process of taking it through various city boards and the East Lawrence Neighborhood Association. The earliest the City Commission could review it is mid- to late April.

Not much can be done about distant daughters Dear Annie: I am a very loving mother of two adult daughters.

“Jane” has a child with her ex and another with her current husband.

“Cindy” is married with one child and one on the way.

At first, things with Jane were great. We helped them furnish their house with all new appliances, and also helped financially when they asked.

Three years ago, we had a falling out and now Jane doesn’t call, text, email or anything. When we see each other in public, she is civil, but otherwise, treats me as if as if I were dead. We are not allowed to see our grandchildren, although our ex-son-inlaw allows us to see the one grandchild when he has visitation.

Great cast carries new ABC drama ABC continues to reward viewers with stellar casts. Not everyone will find the mysteries at the heart of “The Family” (8 p.m., TV-PG) so compelling, but the series brims with talent.

“The Family” bounces back and forth between the present day and 10 years earlier, when Adam (Liam James) goes missing while his parents, Claire and John (Joan Allen and Rupert Graves), hand out fliers for Claire’s quixotic city council campaign.

Adam’s loss accelerates an estrangement between husband and wife. Claire rises to mayor of her small Maine town and mulls a gubernatorial bid.

John becomes a motivational speaker, counseling strangers about mourning and loss. Their daughter, Willa (Alison Pill), always devout, has become a zealot as well as an adviser to her mother’s “family values” campaign. Their eldest son, Danny (Zach Gilford), who was responsible for Adam the day he was abducted, has become a hopeless drunk. Sgt. Nina Meyer (Margot Bingham), the detective who convicted Hank (Andrew McCarthy), a local predator, of Adam’s abduction, has also seen her star rise.

Nearly everyone has something to lose, or at least answer for, when Adam, all grown up, returns from the cellar of some remote cabin, where he had endured 10 years of abuse. Or so he says.

Allen and Pill are ill served by some of the brittle faith-andfamily jargon they have to spout.

McCarthy is excellent as the disturbed Hank, seemingly exonerated of Adam’s abduction, but not necessarily an innocent man.

“The Family” sometimes unfolds like a Lifetime abduction drama that aspires to become a superior drama like “The Missing” or “Broadchurch.” Everybody involved appears to be hiding something. One gets the sense key evidence is staring us in the face, obscured by clever misdirection. And that’s a good enough reason to turn up for additional helpings of “The Family” when it resumes on its regular Sunday night perch.

Campaign stop Today’s visit by Bernie Sanders is about as close as Lawrence ever gets to being in the presidential campaign spotlight.

L

awrence isn’t a common stop on the presidential campaign trail, but this election year is a little different than most.

For one thing, at least three presidential candidates are coming to Kansas ahead of the state’s political caucuses on Saturday, including Democrat Bernie Sanders, who is scheduled to speak at 7 p.m. today at the Douglas County Fairgrounds in Lawrence.

The fact that Lawrence is home to Kansas University probably was a key draw for Sanders, who is finding much support among young voters. And, really, if you’re a liberal Democrat who describes yourself as a democratic socialist, where else in Kansas are you likely to find a more friendly audience?

Sanders’ visit is a good reminder to local Republicans and Democrats about the Saturday caucuses which offer Kansas voters their only chance to participate in the nomination of their party’s candidate.

In Douglas County, Republicans can cast ballots for their favorite nominees between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. at either the Baldwin City Library or Lawrence’s Southwest Middle School.

Participating in the Democratic caucus will require a bit more of a commitment for Kansas University basketball fans. Democrats can register from 1 to 3 p.m. at Eudora High School or Lawrence’s Liberty Memorial Central Middle School but must be physically present to form presidential preference groups at 3 p.m., the starting time for KU’s game at Allen Fieldhouse.

Sanders may draw a large crowd tonight, but it’s hard to tell how either he or Hillary Clinton will stand up to the KU basketball competition on Saturday.

It’s nice to see Kansas getting more than the normal attention in a presidential election year, and we hope many people take advantage of the opportunity to participate in the democratic process on Saturday. It’s fun to welcome Sanders to Lawrence today and be a part of such an interesting election season.

Racial slight shapes U.S. perception Chris Rock said everything that needed to be said.

Almost.

The burgeoning controversy over the blindingly white field of Oscar nominees made Sunday’s 88th Academy Awards a potential minefield. Rock, fearless, funny and, fortuitously, African American, was exactly the right host at precisely the right time.

He contextualized the controversy, pointing out that this is hardly the first time the Academy Awards has overlooked AfricanAmerican performers. He called Hollywood out for racial exclusion and denial of opportunity. He even managed a shout out to Black Lives Matter.

But again, if Rock said much of what needed to be said, he didn’t quite say it all.

He didn’t say why this matters.

It is easy, after all, to dismiss the whole controversy as the self-pitying moan of ridiculously rich, appallingly attractive, fantastically fortunate people whose cries of racial unfairness would be laughable to a beleaguered black man or woman struggling to find a job, pay the rent or keep a child from being shot. Rock seemed to suggest as much,

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

“

It is the most powerful shaper of perception in all of human history. So what does it mean when Hollywood doesn’t see you?” noting that previous allwhite Oscars went by without complaint because, “We had real things to protest at the time …”

“When your grandmother’s swinging from a tree,” he said, “it’s really hard to care about Best Documentary Foreign Short.”

Which is true enough.

Still, there is an insidious real world effect to Hollywood’s habit of racial exclusion. And if African-American actors know this well, others are in a position to know it even better.

To put that another way: Will Smith was snubbed for

an Oscar this year. Don’t you think Aasif Mandvi would love to have that problem?

You’ve probably never heard of him, and that’s kind of the point. Mandvi is a Muslim actor from India who is likely best known as a correspondent on the “The Daily Show” with Jon Stewart. He works regularly, but he is unlikely to be the leading man of any big-budget Oscar-bait movie any time soon. And, yes, maybe that’s because he’s not good enough. Or never had the right break. Or maybe it’s because America is simply not ready for a dark-skinned Muslim from India as a romantic lead or action hero.

None of this is to invalidate the complaint that black actors find it hard to get their due at awards time.

It is only to say the issue is larger than that. Hollywood is the world’s dream factory. It is the most powerful shaper of perception in all of human history.

So what does it mean when Hollywood doesn’t see you?

What does it mean for the Mexican-American mother in East L.A. working 80-hour weeks with dreams of sending her kids to college? What does it mean for the Muslim man in Detroit taking his oath

to become a Marine? What does it mean for the Syrian refugee, the gay teacher, the African-American boy walking home under a hoodie?

If Hollywood does not see you — and reflect you — are you really there?

Or is not the very reality of you, individual you, shredded to nothingness by a culture that routinely “otherizes” vulnerable people?

As in a certain would-be president who paints Mexicans as rapists and acts as if “Muslim” were the very brand name of evil.

It was once said in a Hollywood movie (and before that, a Marvel comic book) that “with great power comes great responsibility.”

Let us hope, then, that the tumultuous Oscars of 2016 turns out to be the moment Hollywood finally chooses to accept the responsibility that comes with its power, finally commits to telling more stories that reflect America and Americans in the fullness of their diversity — and humanity.

Because in the end, this is not simply about whether people of color are validated. In a very real sense, it’s about whether or not they even exist.

OLD HOME TOWN

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for March 3, 1916: years “Civil service ago employes of the IN 1916 Lawrence postoffice are greatly interested in a bill now before congress which would provide postoffice employes with a retiring allowance after a stated number of years of service.

Organizations of postal men have been working for years on the details of the proposition …

They believe it will be good policy for the government to adopt the same method of treating its employes as is used by many of the great corporations.”

Misplaced power To the editor: The response of the Republican Party and some media pundits early Wednesday morning has me upset enough to write a response at 6:30 a.m.

I am first a citizen of the greatest democracy in the world. Thank God! I also spent my first four years in college studying to become a political theorist, so I know a little bit about what I say.

The Republican Party is currently doing what they have done for eight years: irrationally blocking the president of the United States from fulfilling his duty to appoint a justice to the supreme court.

Now, they also are trying to exercise their myth of authority in their Republican Party to defeat the voice and power of the people of the United States. How dare they try to silence my fellow citizens! I thought the voice we all listened to without prejudice was the people!

In my college years, I was president of the Young Republicans in Michigan.

Never did I try to represent anybody but my college colleagues. I resent people’s voice being run ”roughshod” over by this 2016 Republican Party!

Catherine M. Pawlicki, Lawrence

Contract questions To the editor: In the Lawrence public schools’ February newsletter, Superintendent Rick Doll, who is retiring, said he wanted his seven-year tenure to be remembered for the district’s equity work, which is done through contracts with the San Francisco-based Pacific Educational Group (PEG).

Since the district has spent roughly half a million dollars with PEG since 2009, it’s fair for taxpayers to ask if PEG’s program has had success. To determine this, we must establish criteria

to measure success.

Doll offered a criterion in 2013: “(I)n mathematics, across the five-year period (2008 - 2012), our white students went from 84.5 percent proficient to 93 percent proficient, an increase of 8.5 percent. Meanwhile, our AfricanAmerican students went from 59.8 percent proficient to 73.3 percent proficient, an increase of 13.5 percent.”

Unfortunately, our African-American students went from 73.3 percent proficient in 2012 to 64.1 percent proficient in 2013. If PEG deserves credit for the 13.5 percent increase, does it receive blame for the 9.2 percent decrease?

In 2014, Doll pointed to the shrinking graduation rate gap between white and African-American students as a criterion, and said it was “a direct result of his district’s equity work.” However, the graduation rate gap between white and African-American students has been shrinking nationwide. The vast majority of school districts in the country have no contracts with PEG. I believe PEG has been selling USD 497 expensive snake oil. Can Doll and/ or school board members assure us taxpayers that this is not the case?

Kevin Groenhagen, Lawrence

Protective prayer To the editor: Recently the Kansas Department of Health and Environment required its employees to participate in a half-day active shooter seminar conducted by the Kansas Highway Patrol. In summary, the officers discussed a strategy to minimize the loss of human life from such a tragedy as that which occurred in Hesston and is occurring at an increasing rate in America.

All killers’ hearts are described by Jeremiah, 17:9: “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?”

Jesus contrasts the two influences on the human heart in John 10:10: “The thief (Satan) comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.”

The Highway Patrol’s strategy is based on the FBI slogan “Run, Hide and Fight.” I suggest “Pray, Run, Hide and Fight.” The Lord invites us in Psalm 50:15: “Call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me.”

Carl Burkhead, Lawrence

Football tragedy?

To the editor: Profound thanks for Dolph Simons Jr.’s epistle describing the deplorable conditions of our local team (“What will it take to turn KU football around,” Journal-World, Feb. 27). What a grave tragedy that Kansas University fans remain deprived of fresh victories on the gridiron! Though some learned experts (wimpy charlatans) have pointed out the devastating health impacts of this brutal sport, the university must do all it can to satisfy the blood-lust of fans and potential donors to improve its “front-door” image.

Rather than admitting defeat and canceling the program, we must look for imaginative ways to rebuild. As an ex-gladiator himself, perhaps Simons could fill in as one of the assistant trainers. Most definitely, the university should dip deeply into its endowment to construct a new coliseum.

Bread and circuses are no longer a byproduct of academia but its very essence. Simons rhetorically asks “How much worse does it have to get?” Who knows, by constructing a winning football program, our future emperor, Flaccidus Trumpus might grace Lawrence with a visit!

remainder of the academic year, acting KU Provost Sara Rosen told the JournalWorld by email Wednesday night.

“Paul Smokowski requested to be relieved of his administrative duties effective immediately so that he can focus on his research,” Rosen said. “I appreciate Dean Smokowski’s leadership and look forward to his relaunch of his productive research program.”

Smokowski came to KU in July from Arizona State University, where he served as Distinguished Foundation Professor in Child and Adolescent Resilience.

In recent months, a student group calling itself the Social Welfare Student Activist Committee has protested, generally citing “in-

is to refocus my energies on building our federal research portfolio,” he wrote.

Smokowski said the decision to resign was his alone.

On July 1, he will officially step down from the dean’s role and return to the KU faculty as a full professor, he said.

In the meantime, he will step aside from his typical dean duties to focus on special research initiatives in studying child and family resilience, he said.

Stephen Kapp, social welfare professor and associate dean of academic programs, has been appointed acting dean for the

equities” within the school affecting students of color.

In recent weeks the group demanded Smokowski’s resignation.

Smokowski said the school had no official complaints of racism during his tenure. He said he agreed with students who said the school should be inclusive and that any incidents of racism or discrimination should be investigated.

Smokowski said, with 20 years of investment in social welfare work, the student protests were not a major part of his decision.

“But at the same time since it was targeted on me specifically, on me personally, I believe that me stepping aside may help the school move forward on that particular issue,” he added.

Supreme Court divided on abortion restriction case Conservative bloc has lost Scalia, and case may go back to Texas Richard Wolf USA TODAY

The Supreme Court appeared deeply divided Wednesday over the most farreaching abortion rights case it has considered in a generation, putting the fate of abortion restrictions in many states on the line.

The court’s four liberal justices left little doubt they would vote to strike down the law, so the eightmember court — depleted by the death last month of Justice Antonin Scalia — almost certainly cannot issue a decision establishing a national precedent that would set tougher standards for abortion clinics coast to coast.

It’s possible that Justice Anthony Kennedy, who probably holds the deciding vote, would seek to have the case returned to Texas for additional fact-finding, delaying any decision until next year at the earliest. The study could include whether the law’s restrictions were responsible for shuttering up to 20 clinics and whether those clinics that remain open can handle the statewide demand for abortions.

If the case is not sent back but decided on its merits, it was more likely that Kennedy would join the liberals in ruling that the law places an undue burden on abortion access without serving a necessary medical purpose. Such a decision, which probably would be issued in late June, could impact states with similar laws.

Kennedy acknowledged the state would face a “capacity problem” if only 10 clinics are left, as the law’s challengers claim. He

The U.N. Security Council voted unanimously Wednesday to approve broad new sanctions against North Korea in response to its recent nuclear and missile tests.

“Nearly all North Korean resources are channeled into its reckless nuclear program,” U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power told the council after the vote. “The government of North Korea would rather grow its nuclear program than grow its own children.”

Hours after the Security Council resolution passed, North Korea fired several short-range projectiles into the sea, according to the South Korean Defense Ministry.

The resolution was drafted by the United States and North Korea’s No. 1 ally, China.

The sanctions would be the first to require North Korean cargo ships and aircraft to be inspected before entering and after leaving the reclusive country.

They prohibit small arms and other conventional weapon sales to North Korea.

President Obama issued a statement hailing the resolution as “a firm, united and appropriate response.”

“Today, the international community, speaking with one voice, has sent Pyongyang a simple message: North Korea must abandon these dangerous programs and choose a better path for its people,” Obama said.

The U.S. Treasury also announced sanctions against four entities and 12 individuals who it said are involved in North Korea’s illegal nuclear weapons program.

“Our coordinated efforts send a clear message: The global community will not tolerate North Korea’s illicit nuclear and ballistic missile activities, and there will be serious consequences until it modifies its reckless behavior,” Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said.

North Korea conducted its fourth nuclear weapons test last month, claiming it tested a hydrogen bomb and fired a long-range rocket over Japanese airspace Feb. 7 — missile technology banned by previous U.N. resolutions.

“With each nuclear test and launch … North Korea improves its ability to conduct a nuclear attack on most of the countries on this council,” Power said.

Former energy CEO McClendon dies in car crash Death hours after indictment on charge of rigging oil leases Roger Yu and Nathan Bomey USA TODAY

Aubrey McClendon, a maverick in the energy industry, died in a fiery single-car crash in Oklahoma City on Wednesday less than 24 hours after he was indicted for allegedly conspiring to rig bids for oil and natural gas leases.

The former CEO of Chesapeake Energy, forced to relin-

quish his position in 2012 after a shareholder revolt led by activist investor Carl Icahn, built the company into the nation’s second-largest producer of natural gas and amassed enough wealth to become part owner of the Oklahoma Thunder basketball team. He was married to Whirlpool heiress Kathleen “Katie” Byrns McClendon, a relative of Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich., chairman of the House committee on Energy and Commerce.

Chesapeake came under scrutiny after it was disclosed that McClendon, 56, had borrowed more than $1 billion against his

personal stake in company wells.

An internal review found no improper conduct. He got an exit package valued at more than $53 million, and in 2013, he

founded American Energy Partners, an energy facility management company.

McClendon was a highly visible personality in Oklahoma City, known for his charity work and lavish lifestyle.

He was part of a group that bought the Seattle SuperSonics and relocated the franchise to Oklahoma City. In 2007, the NBA fined McClendon $250,000 after he said, “We didn’t buy the team to keep it in Seattle. We hoped to come here.”

McClendon was driving on Midwest Boulevard in his SUV at a “high rate of speed” when he

“went left of center” and hit the embankment wall of an overpass, Oklahoma City Police Capt. Paco Balderrama said in a video on the department’s Facebook page.

McClendon’s vehicle was engulfed in flames, Balderrama said.

Balderrama said there was “no indication” that McClendon tried to stop the wreck, according to The Oklahoman.

The federal indictment against McClendon alleged that he hampered competition by orchestrating a conspiracy between two oil and gas companies to not bid against each other on certain leases in northwest Oklahoma.

CPAC chief: Trump offers ‘new model’ Leading conservative says his chances of nomination are 75% NATIONAL HARBOR , MD.

In the wake of Donald Trump’s Super Tuesday victories, a leading conservative organizer puts the odds at 75% that the real-estate mogul will be able to claim the presidential nomination on the first ballot at the Republican National Convention in July — and he says there’s little that wealthy GOP donors dismayed by that prospect can do to block it.

“You’ve got these billionaires who are trying to stop the billionaire, and they seem to be impotent to actually have an effect on the process,” says Matt Schlapp, chairman of the American Conservative Union. The group hosts the influential Conservative Political Action Conference, which

opened Wednesday in suburban Maryland and will feature appearances by all the Republican candidates. “Trump has really caught on to this political moment in this country and this movement out there, and this movement is very anti-the-fatcats and the big-wigs and the rich folks and the DC insiders.”

Conservatives aren’t yet sure whether Trump is a conservative, Schlapp told Capital Download, and they don’t know whether he can be trusted to deliver on his campaign promises, But the former reality-TV star still has captured the political moment.

“This is what’s hard with an

outsider, because outsiders don’t have voting records,” Schlapp, a former White House political director for George W. Bush, told USA TODAY’s weekly video newsmaker series. “But the way I look

at it is this — which is a lot of conservatives have pushed forward elected officeholders who have disappointed them when they get in office, both the White House and Senate, Congress. And they seem very open to the idea, ‘We’re going to try a whole new model, we’re going to try someone from outside the system.’

And I kind of think there’s no stopping that. ...

“I think conservatives across this country are holding pitchforks.”

Trump and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio are scheduled to address CPAC on Saturday, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich on Friday.

Schlapp thinks it’s possible there will be a contested GOP convention, with no candidate arriving with a majority of delegates. But he dismisses the idea of what he calls a “brokered” con-

vention, where someone who hasn’t been running for president is suddenly put forward as the nominee.

A year ago, Schlapp thought former Florida governor Jeb Bush might have a good chance of winning conservative support for his presidential bid.

“Boy, was I wrong,” he says now. “I don’t think Jeb and his team understood the political moment. I think that they were running as what they saw as a conservative candidate in the mold of the 1980s, the 1990s — soften it, be careful, reach out to the middle. After seven years of (President) Obama, conservatives really don’t want to hear that.

What they want to hear is what (former president) Ronald Reagan talked to us about: ‘Bold colors, not pale pastels.’

“Boy, did Donald Trump understand the moment.”

After Super Tuesday drubbing, Sanders plots his next move

Romney plans speech before Detroit debate

Nicole Gaudiano USA TODAY

Fredreka Schouten USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Donald Trump’s romp through seven Super Tuesday states gave fresh urgency Wednesday to efforts by the Republican Party’s strategists and donors to halt his race toward the presidential nomination.

The anti-tax group Club for Growth Action launched a $1.5 million ad in Florida, casting Trump as a lousy businessman who “hides behind bankruptcy laws to duck paying his bills.” The organization’s leaders say they are likely to withhold endorsements and fundraising help from any GOP congressional candidate who backs the brash real estate mogul.

Florida’s delegate-rich primary is March 15.

“Time is running out,” said Club for Growth spokesman Doug Sachtleben. “Trump could cost us a good shot at the White House, the Senate majority and ultimately the Supreme Court.”

The GOP’s 2012 nominee, Mitt Romney, who has become an increasingly loud anti-Trump voice in recent days, plans to deliver a major address about the presidential contest Thursday, hours before Trump and three other Republican candidates are slated to take the debate stage in Detroit, NBC News and other news organizations reported Wednesday.

Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson announced Wednesday that he will not participate in the debate as he sees no “path forward” for his campaign.

CRAIG RUBADOUX, FLORIDA TODAY, VIA USA TODAY SPORTS

Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump speaks to reporters as Super Tuesday presidential primary election results come in at the White and Gold room at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Fla. Trump gathered seven more states.

A Trump nomination would be “a disaster” for Senate Republican candidates, said Rob Jesmer, a GOP strategist and former executive director of the National Republican Senatorial Committee.

“People are just waking up to that reality in the last few days.”

“His microphone is bigger than anyone’s in the whole country,” Jesmer said, and Senate candidates seeking to win over moderate voters in swing states would be forced to answer for Trump’s controversial statements and positions on issues such as deporting 11 million unauthorized immigrants from the country.

Fred Malek, finance chairman for the Republican Governors Association and a veteran party fundraiser, said a Trump nomination could imperil his party’s chances of picking up Democratic governors’ seats in Missouri, Montana, West Virginia, Vermont and New Hampshire, where the state’s Democratic Gov. Maggie Hassan is giving up her post to run for the U.S. Senate.

Republican donors are “alarmed, disappointed and frustrated” by Trump’s rise, he said.

Trump campaign officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but this week, Trump has sought to cast himself as a unifying figure expanding the party’s base. About 8.5 million Republicans voted in the 11 Super Tuesday states this week, a big jump from the roughly 4.7 million who participated in GOP nominating contests in those states four years ago.

Despite the alarm about Trump’s candidacy in Republican establishment circles, it wasn’t clear Wednesday that top Republicans had coalesced around a single strategy to slow his momentum. A day earlier, several dozen GOP business figures held a conference call to discuss fundraising with the leaders of an anti-Trump super PAC, Our Principles PAC, but no firm commitments emerged from the call.

“I’m surprised there has not been more participation by the donor community to stop this,” Jesmer said. “Rome is burning.

“I think Trump can be stopped,” he said. “But with every passing day, that becomes more difficult.”

BURLINGTON, VT. After getting trounced in most Super Tuesday states, Sen. Bernie Sanders hoped to recover some momentum beginning with rallies in Maine and Michigan on Wednesday.

The Vermont independent said his “political revolution” had begun and the campaign is just getting started. “We’re going all the way to the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia and beyond,” he said in an early morning statement.

Sanders won just four of the 11 Super Tuesday states — Colorado, Minnesota, Oklahoma and his home state of Vermont. His rival for the Democratic presidential nomination, Hillary Clinton, won Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Massachusetts, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and American Samoa.

Clinton’s wins gave her a total 594 pledged delegates to 405 for Sanders. Of the 2,382 delegates needed to win the nomination, 865 were in play Tuesday. Clinton is far ahead of Sanders in superdelegates, elected officials and party leaders who are unpledged.

Sanders’ campaign said Wednesday it can erase that deficit with strong performances in Nebraska and Kansas on March 5, and in other states that vote later in the process, including Michigan, New York and California. His $42 million-plus fundraising haul in February will help support the campaign in the industrial Midwest and beyond, Jeff Weaver, Sanders’ campaign manager, said.

Weaver acknowledged the difficulty Sanders has had making inroads with black voters, but he said the African-American community is not “monolithic.”

Justices debate clinic restrictions v CONTINUED FROM 1B

officials, including senior adviser Valerie Jarrett, were among those listening to 85 minutes of debate — 25 minutes longer than had been scheduled.

What they saw at first was skepticism from the court’s conservatives that the law caused the clinic closures. Passed in 2013, the law set tougher operating standards for clinics and required doctors performing abortions to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals. Since its passage, more than 40 abortion facilities in the state have dwindled to 18, and more closures are threatened.

Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito said scant evidence was offered to show the law triggered the closings. They said the challengers failed to prove that the remaining clinics could not handle roughly 70,000 abortions a year — though Roberts admitted evidence of insufficient capacity was a “statistically significant showing.”

When Texas Solicitor General Scott Keller stood to argue the state’s case, the liberal justices pounced. They accused Texas legislators of singling out abortion for tough medical standards not required for riskier procedures, such as colonoscopies and liposuction. They said the two restrictions serve no purpose and have not made abortions safer.

More clinic closures would leave the state unable to handle 5.4 million women of reproductive age, they said.

“This is among the most safe, the least risk procedures, an early stage abortion,” said Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who arrived at the court in 1993, the year after its decision in Planned Parenthood v. Casey said states could impose restrictions that do not represent an “undue burden” on women seeking abortions. “So

Without Scalia, the state probably can do no better than a 4-4 vote upholding last year’s ruling that would apply to Texas, Mississippi and Louisiana but no further. what was the problem that the Legislature was responding to?”

“Increasing the standard of care is valid,” Keller said later, to which Justice Sonia Sotomayor responded, “It’s valid only if it’s taking care of a real problem.”

Without Scalia, the state probably can do no better than a 4-4 vote upholding last year’s ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for

the 5th Circuit. That would apply to Texas, Mississippi and Louisiana, but no further.

If Kennedy and the court’s liberal justices strike down any part of the law, the decision could implicate similar abortion restrictions imposed by conservative legislatures in other states. Such a ruling could be the biggest victory for supporters of abortion rights since two landmark decisions: Roe v. Wade, which legalized abortion in 1973, and Casey, which set the rules for restrictions in 1992.

“This isn’t just about Texas,” Nancy Northup, president of the Center for Reproductive Rights, said on the eve of the Supreme Court showdown, noting that about 250 restrictions have been imposed across the country in the past five years. Those restrictions range from 24-hour waiting periods and parental notification laws, mostly upheld by lower courts, to bans on abortion after six or 12 weeks, which courts have blocked.

Ten states have laws restricting doctors, and six have laws as strict as Texas’ concerning operating standards, but courts have blocked several of those.

Abortion rights advocates say the burden is clear from the hundreds of miles women outside Texas’ major cities have to drive to reach a clinic and the days, even weeks, they have to wait before getting an abortion. “It is the

definition of an undue burden,” U.S. Solicitor General Donald Verrilli argued.

State officials and abortion opponents say the clinics that are not threatened will provide superior treatment and can adequately serve the state. Their argument was supported in part by Alito, who said, “There’s no evidence of the actual capacity of these clinics.”

Among about 80 briefs submitted to the court are several in which women recounted their abortion experiences — successful lawyers and professionals defending the decisions they made early in life, as well as others who say they came to regret the procedures.

The last case involving the medical procedure was decided in 2007, when the justices upheld a federal law banning late-term — “partial birth” — abortions. Kennedy wrote the 5-4 opinion, asserting that “some women come to regret their choice to abort the infant life they once created and sustained.”

The Texas case focuses on the day-to-day hardships endured by women — many of them poor or Hispanic — who face difficulties obtaining abortions because of widespread clinic closures.

If the law is allowed to stand, the 10 remaining clinics will be centered in four metropolitan areas — Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin and San Antonio.

Bernie Sanders speaks Tuesday in Essex Junction, Vt.

“The experiences of communities in places like Michigan ... will perhaps make Bernie’s message on economics” much more powerful, he said.

Clinton’s campaign notes her lead over Sanders in pledged delegates is larger than any of the leads Barack Obama enjoyed over Clinton during the 2008 primary season. And it will only become more difficult — “and eventually mathematically impossible” — for Sanders to catch up, Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook wrote in an open memo.

In New York City, Clinton reveled in her victories at a labor rally Wednesday attended by top Democrats. Super Tuesday “was one for the history books,” she exalted, picking up on other speakers’ claims that Clinton is now on her way to becoming the nation’s first woman president.

MIGRANTS WITH NO PLACE TO GO LOSE THE ONLY ‘HOME’ THEY HAD

EU unveils plan for $760M in assistance for migrants Jane Onyanga-Omara USA TODAY

The European Union launched a plan Wednesday to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on humanitarian aid for migrants in member states that host large numbers of them.

The EU’s executive is proposing to provide $760 million over the next three years for basic necessities such as food, shelter, clean water and emergency health care.

The plan is aimed at providing a faster and more targeted response to major crises affecting member states, it said.

It came after U.N. refugee agency spokesman Adrian Edwards told reporters Tuesday that Europe “is on the cusp of a largely self-induced humanitarian crisis,” with 24,000 migrants stranded in Greece.

“Obviously, this emergency support on its own, cannot, and will not, solve all problems,” said Christos Stylianides, the European commissioner for humanitarian aid and crisis management on Wednesday.

He said the situation in countries such as Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan — from where many of the migrants come — must be addressed in order to solve the crisis.

Tumult and tears as France dismantles part of the camp called the ‘Jungle,’ which houses 6,000 Aida Alami

Special for USA TODAY CALAIS , FRANCE

Rahmanjan Safy scrambled to salvage anything valuable from the demolished tents and makeshift shelters at this Calais migrant camp Wednesday, even as riot police and bulldozers destroyed the site.

Food, clothing, spoons — he picked up everything he could find.

Safy, 25, from Jalalabad, Afghanistan, has been in France since 2009. He once lived in this camp but now works with an organization that helps the migrants and refugees. Driving his big, white truck, he moved these precious commodities to a section of the camp still intact, so people could still use them.

“I once was in the same situation as them,” he said. “I never forgot. I want to help them.”

A judge gave the green light last week for the French government to tear down part of the Calais “Jungle,” as the camp is commonly called, but riots broke out this week amid the resulting chaos.

Police and bulldozers began pushing migrants out of tents and temporary shelters Monday, tearing apart the ad hoc camp that houses an estimated 6,000 people. Camp residents fought back, starting fires and attacking police with rocks. The situation Wednesday was calmer, if not less tense. Confusion, uncertainty

“I would go anywhere, not just to England,” he said about wanting to cross the English Channel to the United Kingdom. “I don’t want to stay in France. They don’t respect their own laws.”

The French government initially announced its plan to dismantle the southern part of the camp — closer to the highway — in early February. Migrants in that section would attempt to jump on trucks crossing through the Chunnel, despite barbed wire set up to protect the road.

The rest of the camp is being left alone — for the moment.

“Our policy is to support those who are in vulnerable situations,” Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said before the dismantling operation began. “The state will continue its strategy of accompanying migrants toward a humanitarian solution that lives up to the values of our country and our tradition of welcoming those who seek asylum in France.”

But volunteers described how people rushed to collect their few belongings in a short amount of time and tried to salvage parts of their shelters for protection against the cold weather.

“They gave people one hour to assemble their belongings,” said Christian Salome, founder and head of L’Auberge Des Migrants, the main organization that distributes food and clothes at the Calais camp.

Other volunteers call the entire situation shameful.

“It is a political decision not to address this issue,” said Paul Bejannin, 30, a volunteer from Paris.

“France has the means to accommodate everyone. And the only state presence we ever see here is the riot police.”

Amine Khan, 31, from northern Afghanistan, helplessly watched the bulldozers Wednesday and said his “home” will likely be next.

“I have no choice, I don’t know where I will go,” he said. “I will just keep trying to reach England.”

Drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzmán said he wants to be extradited as soon as possible to the United States because guards at the Mexican maximum-security prison aren’t letting him sleep, a lawyer said Wednesday.

Lawyer Jose Refugio Rodriguez said Guzmán asked him to negotiate with U.S. authorities for a lighter sentence and a stay at a medium-security prison, according to Mexico’s Radio Formula.

The lawyer said Guzmán “can no longer bear” his living conditions. He said Guzmán fears that his health will worsen because of the isolated conditions in the Mexican prison and that the lack of sleep could cause a heart attack or stroke, Radio Formula reported.

Although Guzmán’s lawyers had vowed to fight extradition as long as possible, Rodriguez suggested it could happen in about two months if Guzmán drops numerous appeals his lawyers filed, the Associated Press reported.

Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzmán is shown in his police photograph taken in January, as he was imprisoned in Almoloya de Juarez, Mexico State.

Lawyer Jose Refugio Rodriguez suggested extradition could happen in about two months if Guzmán drops numerous appeals.

In January, José Manuel Merino Madrid, who oversees extradition efforts in Mexico for that nation’s attorney general, told Radio Formula that lawyers for Guzmán could drag out the extradition process for up to a year.

Guzmán made world headlines in July 2015 with his dramatic escape from Mexico’s maximum-security Altiplano prison. An international manhunt wrapped up Jan. 8 with his arrest following a deadly shootout in Los Mochis, a city of 250,000 in Guzmán’s home state of Sinaloa.

Attorney General Arely Gómez González said that Guzmán wanted to make a biopic about his life and accepted an interview with actor Sean Penn and Mexican actress Kate del Castillo. That tipped off investigators to his location.

As head of the Sinaloa drug cartel, which smuggles large quantities of drugs into the United States, Guzmán was called “Public Enemy No. 1” by the Chicago Crime Commission.

Guzmán made a previous prison escape in 2001, with the assistance of prison guards. He spent years on the run, becoming the head of the Sinoloa cartel before his recapture in 2014.

Brown said the new law will help working Oregonians who have trouble affording basic necessities get “a little closer to the American dream.”

Thousands of families in Oregon live on minimum wage, which supporters of the bill say can make it difficult to afford housing, food, child care and other goods and services.

President Obama said Congress needs to follow Oregon’s example and raise the federal minimum wage — now at $7.25 an hour, the Associated Press reported.

“I commend the Oregon Legislature and Governor Kate Brown for taking action to raise their state’s minimum wage,” Obama said in a statement.

Lobbyists for business and labor groups were firmly camped on opposite sides of the wage debate.

The American Civil Liberties Union kicked off what is expected to be a string of amicus briefs in federal court to support Apple in the tech company’s fight against a court order to unlock an encrypted iPhone used by one of the San Bernardino shooters.

Investors see danger in expecting so few companies to deliver Matt Krantz

As corporate earnings were shrinking in 2015, an elite group of U.S. companies found a way to grab a bigger piece of the smaller profit pie.

Just 28 companies collectively hauled in more than half the total net income reported by U.Sbased companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 last year, according to a USA TODAY analysis of data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. The analysis includes 462 U.S.-based companies that have reported their net income for calendar year 2015.

Seeing such a small group of big companies generate such a high percentage of the nation’s total corporate net income is noteworthy as it shows how profits have gotten even more concentrated. In 2014, 52 S&P 500 companies generated half the overall corporate profit within that index.

“You have a concentration of business in the hands of a small number of players,” says Jack Ablin, chief investment officer of BMO Private Bank.

This shift of profit into the hands of a shrinking group of companies is a danger for investors, who are now counting on fewer companies to deliver to keep the markets rising, Ablin says. “It’s the opposite of diversification,” he says. “You’re now concentrated.”

These companies also have greater financial resources to sway lawmakers to make policy decisions that benefit them more, Ablin says.

Total net income in 2015 fell 15% among the 462 U.S. companies that have reported their calendar-year results, based on data from S&P Global.

Much of the drop is due to massive declines in profit from oil companies, including a $23 billion net loss from energy exploration company Apache.

Apple continues to be the biggest contributor, bringing in 6.7% of the total net income reported

by U.S.-based companies. That’s up from the 4.7% of total U.S. net income the company hauled in during 2014. That’s because Apple’s profit rose 21% in 2015 and it made more money than any other U.S.-based company in the S&P 500 at $53.7 billion in net income.

Analysts expect adjusted earnings of all S&P 500 companies to rise 2.2% in 2016, S&P Global says.

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

The growth scare of 2016 might be getting a tad less scary, thanks to incoming U.S. economic data that has defied naysayers’ fears.

The latest sign of a U.S. economy showing strength, not weakness, was a strong private employment report from payroll processor ADP, which showed private employers added 214,000 new jobs in February, above the 190,000 analysts had forecast.

One Wall Street economist says the strong jobs number is miles away from a recession.

“The rest of the world is slowing perhaps, but that isn’t the story here,” Chris Rupkey, chief financial economist at MUFG Union Bank, wrote in a report.

Facts about America’s investors who use SigFig tracking services:

“Private payroll jobs are running a rock solid 214,000 in February, which is not even remotely indicating the economic expansion is coming to a halt. Not even a stop sign on the road to recovery.”

The continued strength of the job market follows a trio of strong data points released Tuesday, when Wall Street got U.S. beats on manufacturing, vehicle sales and construction spending.

The economy expanded in most regions over the past six weeks, but activity slowed in some areas as the manufacturing industry continued to struggle, offsetting the recovering housing market and growth in consumer spending, the Federal Reserve said in a report Wednesday.

Its “beige book,” which offers an anecdotal snapshot of the economy, appeared to show more sluggish activity than its previous report and coincided with a sell-

The manufacturing industry is still struggling, which has offset the recovering housing market.

off in markets early this year amid weakness overseas and an oil industry downturn.

“Most districts noted that

weak demand from the energy sector was creating a significant headwind for manufacturers,” the report said.

The Fed said the economy grew moderately in its Richmond and San Francisco districts and modestly in the Cleveland, Atlanta, Chicago, Minneapolis and Philadelphia areas. But performances were“mixed” in St. Louis and Boston, flat in New York and Dallas and down in Kansas City.

Manufacturing has been the biggest drag on growth, with China’s slowdown and weakness in the eurozone combining with a strong dollar to curtail exports.

Investors see growth, if you pick your spots

Q: Where will profits grow again?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: It wasn’t a banner fourth quarter for profits. But investors are hoping to see growth return in select spots.

Now that 97% of companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 have reported fourth-quarter profits, investors see adjusted quarterly profit fell 4.3% during the quarter compared with the same year-ago period, S&P Global Market Intelligence says. So far, 65% of S&P 500 companies have topped expectations, which is slightly below the 66% that usually do. Not surprisingly, the energy sector is where profit got hit the hardest, as adjusted profit from energy companies dropped 73% during the fourth quarter from the same period a year ago.

Investors, though, are hopeful corporate profits can start to grow again in 2016. Analysts are calling for 2% growth in adjusted profit in 2016, S&P Global says. Much of the profit growth is expected to come from the consumer discretionary sector, which includes things consumers can delay buying. The sector is seen putting up impressive 11.6% adjusted profit growth for 2016. That’s the greatest growth expected from any of the 10 sectors, S&P Global says.

Financials also are seen as an area of strong growth, as analysts are calling for 9.6% growth. The health care sector is expected to be the third fastest-growing sector at 6.6%.

Economy grew in past six weeks, Fed’s beige book says Paul Davidson

And the oil price crash curbed orders for pipes and other products.

The Boston, Cleveland, Chicago and San Francisco areas were among those reporting flat-tomoderate growth, while the New York, Philadelphia, Kansas City and Dallas regions posted slightto-moderate declines.

The culprit was weak energy demand in areas such as Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago and Dallas.

At the same time, lower energy costs made for cheaper production of steel products in San Francisco. But the global drop in commodity prices has hurt farmers and rippled to manufacturers

in Chicago and Kansas City.

The auto and aerospace industries remained bright spots in the Cleveland and Chicago districts.

Consumer spending has been a strong suit for the economy, and sales rose moderately in Philadelphia, Richmond, Atlanta and San Francisco. Yet the market turbulence and economic concerns appeared to dent shoppers’ confidence. Fed contacts in Boston, Cleveland and Chicago noted “consumers seemed reluctant to spend, citing reluctance to add debt, financial market volatility or economic uncertainty as significant factors.”

IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY WHO’S CELEBRATING TODAY?

NEW YORK Before she became one of comedy’s reigning queens, Tina Fey worked the 9-to-5 grind like the rest of us. Just out of college and studying improv at Second City, she manned the front desk at a Chicago-area YMCA to pay the bills.

“For the first year, you’re like, ‘I got a desk! I go to lunch for 40 minutes!’ ” says Fey, who plays a fish-out-of-water war correspondent in Whiskey Tango Foxtrot (in theaters Friday). “Then you’re like: ‘Wait a minute, I don’t want to do this.’ ” That said, being cubicle-bound has its upsides. “People at an office work 40 hours a week and we’d rather work 70, literally in mud,” Fey adds with a smile.

“Like, ‘Yeah, we’re geniuses! We beat the system!’ ” Based on journalist Kim Barker’s 2011 memoir The Taliban Shuffle: Strange Days in Afghanistan and Pakistan, the movie follows a New York-based cable news writer (played by Fey).

Bored with her humdrum life and boyfriend (Josh Charles), she impulsively accepts a position as an on-air reporter in Afghanistan.

Partying at brothels and karaoke bars when she’s not dodging bullets and interviewing Afghan warlords, Kim overcomes culture shock and finds comfort in the chaos — which makes it difficult to eventually leave her adrenaline-fueled life behind.

Weeks after a New York Times review of Taliban compared Kim to a “Tina Fey character,” the book caught the attention of the Saturday Night Live veteran, who quickly optioned movie rights. It’s rare, says Fey, 45, “to find stories about women that aren’t ‘I work at a magazine!’

Where they’re really doing something unusual and yet it’s something where I felt it was plausible that I could play this person. Kim’s real stories were so crazy and funny, but shocking and compelling.”

Whiskey is co-produced

by Fey and SNL’s Lorne Michaels, with a script by her 30 Rock co-creator Robert Carlock, who changed Kim’s profession from a print to TV reporter and added characters such as Tanya

TODD PLITT, USA TODAY

When war correspondent Kim (Tina Fey) goes to Afghanistan, her colleague Tanya (Margot Robbie) helps pave the way.

(Margot Robbie), Kim’s shrewd, sexy colleague who shows her the ropes in Kabul.

“I’m always attracted to strong characters,” says Robbie, 25. “That doesn’t mean they have to be having fight scenes, necessarily, but having strong opinions and confidence in what they think.”

True to Fey’s brand of unapologetic feminism, Kim and Tanya support each other. There are no catfights over guys, and any squabbles they have are careerdriven.

“It was important to me that it wasn’t just a knee-jerk rivalry, because that’s not my experience,”

Fey says. “I’ve definitely worked in places where it’s a lot of dudes and very few women. The women stick together, so I wanted that to feel truthful.”

Although Whiskey takes many liberties with her story, Barker, 45, says its depiction of female friendship rings true. “(You form) close friendships that are probably difficult to develop in the civilian world, because you’re thrown into this crucible together and the only people who understand what it’s like are the other folks who are there. Yeah, we were competitive over stories to a certain extent, but we would also help each other.”

It’s a jungle out there when it comes to animated comedies with talking animals, though Disney is setting a seriously high bar with the expansive and often hilarious Zootopia.

Directed by Byron Howard (Tangled) and Rich Moore (Wreck-It Ralph), the oh-so-family-friendly movie (eee out of four; rated PG; in theaters nationwide Friday) showcases the unlikely friendship of an ambitious bunny cop and a fox con artist while espousing themes of tolerance and diversity. Its earnest “You can be anything!” message is heavy-handedly clear, though Zootopia works best as a funny romp that ingeniously imagines a landscape where hamsters can be businessmen and polar bears are the coolest bodyguards around.

Everyone in Bunnyburrow thinks she’s nuts for wanting to be a police officer instead of farming carrots, but Judy Hopps (voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin) MOVIE REVIEW BRIAN TRUITT

Nick Wilde (voiced by Jason Bateman) and Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin) team up to solve a mystery in Zootopia. puts her best rabbit’s foot forward and graduates at the top of her class before being whisked away to downtown Zootopia. Her bullish buffalo boss Chief Bogo (Idris Elba), however, isn’t quite so sure of his rookie’s abilities, so Judy is assigned to be a meter maid — though she quickly is the best meter maid ever.

Judy finds a foil in Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman), a sly, smoothtalking dude who’s always looking for ways to get ahead in life, legal or otherwise. The appeal of Zootopia is that there’s a truce between predator and prey — so foxes aren’t just hunting rabbits

DISNEY

willy-nilly — but when this status quo is threatened, Judy and Nick have to work together to solve the case.

With a landscape smartly shown during Judy’s train ride, Zootopia is a magnificently designed metropolis that’s a work of art in itself. The attention paid to detail on both a macro and micro level is top-notch: It’s impressive and adorable the way Judy’s nose twitches when trouble is afoot.

(Just don’t call her “cute,” the very worst thing you can call a bunny.)

Jared Bush and Phil Johnston’s screenplay leans into questions of

identity and choosing to be more than what people peg you as, which adult Disney fans have seen all too often and will most likely go over the littlest kids’ heads. The story is boosted instead by utilizing noir and crimedrama elements — Chinatown and The Godfather are two interesting inspirations — and cultural references like the Uber-esque “Zuber,” marketed as “migration at your fingertips.”

Bateman’s and Goodwin’s voices nicely capture their roles, but it’s the supporting players who often steal the attention.

Pint-sized Mr. Big (Maurice LaMarche) is a funny mobster shrew who’s not to be trifled with, the doughnut-loving cheetah cop Clawhauser (Nate Torrence) is a hoot, Finnick (Tommy “Tiny” Lister) is a little fox whose rumbly voice belies his tiny stature, and the hippie yak Yax (Tommy Chong) runs a “naturalist” commune that freaks Judy out because no one’s wearing pants.

Its colorful residents make Zootopia a wondrous place to visit for two hours until you have to go back to real life, where Shakira isn’t a gazelle and law enforcement is a lot less furry.

Mickelson has liking for hoops, hunting, fishing

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

When one thinks of great outdoorsmen in recent Kansas University basketball history, the names Greg Ostertag and Wayne Simien (fishing, hunting), Luke Axtell (fishing), John Crider (mushrooms, fishing) and, yes, Hunter Mickelson, are some that quickly come to mind.

“He’s the real deal,” former KU All-American Simien said of Mickelson, a 6-foot-10, 245-pound senior center from Jonesboro, Ark., who on Saturday against Iowa State will play his final home game Mickelson as a Jayhawk.

“I actually learned a few things from him duck hunting. That’s his main trade,” added Leavenworth native Simien. “It’s been fun not only sharing experiences of being big guys that played here, but also sharing some hobbies as well,” added Simien, the first person take HuntUP NEXT to er fishing in Who: Kansas Kansas after his transfer (26-4, 14-3) from Arkanvs. Iowa sas in 2013.

State (21-9, “Him, my 10-7) dad and I When: 3 p.m. went fishSaturday ing at Lake Where: Allen Perry, and Fieldhouse we went duck huntTV: ESPN ing south (WOW! channels 33, of town by Baldwin last 233) winter. He’s a lot of fun to be around. He’s one of those guys I wish I could have played with him. He has such a great attitude and work ethic and really appreciates all that Kansas basketball is. That’s why it’s fun hanging out with him,” noted Simien, KU’s team chaplain and campus director for the Called to Greatness organization.

Regarded as one of the most polite individuals on KU’s team — did you notice the firm handshakes Mickelson gave his teammates when introduced as a starter 10 times this season?

— Mickelson might need to bring some of the current Jayhawks on outdoors excursions in the future.

“He hasn’t (invited me) yet, but every now and then he’ll bring his personality to the weight room with some country music or something,” said KU forward Landen Lucas of Portland, Ore. “Of course I’d go with him. I like that kind of stuff.

In the offseason I’d do that for sure.”

Mickelson actually spends most of his hours on the court and in the classroom during his months in Lawrence, leaving his hobby as something he mostly enjoys back home.

“I’ve fished a little bit here,” Mickelson said.

“Sometimes I’ll go by myself. I’ve gone to little farm ponds. You’ve got pretty much what everybody else has got — crappie, bass, everything.”

Of his duck hunting passion, he said: “We get to go home three days during Christmas. The season goes out the 24th, 25th, so I have to miss it. I keep in contact

Late surge lifts LHS girls past SM East

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Eventually, Lawrence High girls basketball coach Jeff Dickson figured, one of the teams would piece together a run Wednesday night in “The Jungle.”

After three quarters went

by with no separation for either the Lions or visiting Shawnee Mission East, Dickson knew whichever team’s players proved mentally and physically tougher down the stretch would secure the coveted sub-state victory.

Even on a night when LHS played without its leading

scorer, the Lions turned a tie game in the opening minutes of the fourth quarter into a 60-48 playoff victory.

Dickson likened it to a “game of chicken, or a staring contest.” The No. 2 seed, Lawrence proved both fearless and patient in crunch time, putting together a 12-2

run in a critical three-minute stretch.

“Our kids,” Dickson said, “didn’t blink.”

Free State girls cruise against Wichita East

Sam Goodwin/Special to the Journal-World

FREE STATE’S CAMERYN THOMAS (10) drives against Wichita East on Wednesday night at FSHS. The Firebirds won, 50-17.

If there was any question how Free State High’s girls basketball players would respond to a loss in last week’s City Showdown, they answered quickly and powerfully.

Eyeing a potential spot in the Class 6A state tournament, the Firebirds held Wichita East to just six points in the first half and rolled to an eventual 50-17 victory on Wednesday at FSHS in the first round of sub-state.

On defense, it’s always much easier said than done to

apply pressure on the perimeter and grab rebounds. But the third-seeded Firebirds (14-7) were more than ready, snagging nine steals, including four by sophomore point guard Cameryn Thomas and two from juniors Madison Piper and Jaycie Bishop.

When the Aces put up shots, the Firebirds crashed the glass and limited offensive rebounds. Thomas and senior guard Hannah Walter led with seven rebounds each.

Beaty confirms hiring of RB coach Hull “

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Wednesday morning, for the first time since early January, second-year Kansas University football coach David Beaty woke up with a full coaching staff.

Through a news release sent out by the KU football program Wednesday afternoon, Beaty confirmed the news of the Tuesday hire of New Orleans-area high school coach Tony Hull as his new running-backs coach.

Please see MICKELSON, page 9C The addition of Hull,

who replaces longtime KU assistant Reggie Mitchell, who took a similar position at Arkansas last month, completes the rebuilding of a staff decimated by departures this offseason.

Hull, 34, became the fifth full-time assistant hired

by Beaty in the past few months, joining Jason Phillips (wide receivers), Todd Bradford (linebackers), Joe DeForest (special teams) and Michael Slater (defensive line).

Although Hull’s résumé is that of a coach with

strong ties to prep football in New Orleans and throughout Louisiana, Beaty said Wednesday he hired Hull as much for his ability to coach and develop athletes as his potential to create a connection between KU and talent-rich Louisiana.

During nine seasons at Warren Easton High in New Orleans, Hull coached 45 players who earned Div. I scholarships, including 2016 KU signee Tyriek Starks, six who cracked ESPN’s Top 300 list and one who was named the

Louisiana offensive player of the year.

“Collegiate coaches around the nation have a huge amount of appreciation for the work he has done,” Beaty said. “The production of his teams and players speaks for itself, and we are looking forward to him bringing that same work ethic to our staff and players. We are fired up to add Tony Hull to our staff.

Tony is a great coach and mentor.”

New coaches in tow, KU football is slated to kick off spring practices Sunday.

Collegiate coaches around the nation have a huge amount of appreciation for the work he has done.”

‘Miraculous’ find: seven Cobb cards Los Angeles — From a crumpled paper bag in a dilapidated house came a baseballcard find of a lifetime. Seven of them actually.

Card experts in Southern California said Wednesday that they have verified the legitimacy — and seven-figure total value — of seven identical Ty Cobb cards from the printing period of 1909 to 1911. Before the recent find, there were only about 15 known to still exist.

Joe Orlando, the president of Professional Sports Authenticator in Newport Beach, Calif., who verified the find, said it is “spectacular” and “miraculous” to have come across such a cache.

“I am not sure if any other baseball card find is more remarkable than this new discovery,” Orlando said in a statement.

The family who discovered the cards in a neglected paper bag at the run-down house of a deceased great-grandfather has asked to remain anonymous.

The cards with the famed Detroit Tigers slugger come from a lot known as T206, the group most prized by collectors that also includes the Honus Wagner card, arguably the most famous sports card ever.

They say on the back “TY COBB — KING OF THE SMOKING TOBACCO WORLD” in green ink.

NFL

Falcons release wide receiver White Atlanta — When it came time to make the tough call on releasing Roddy White, the Atlanta Falcons didn’t ask the popular wide receiver about reworking his contract.

The Falcons released White, the leading receiver in franchise history, on Wednesday following his least productive season in a decade.

Browns C Mack becomes free agent Cleveland — Alex Mack snapped the ball into the Browns’ court.

The three-time Pro Bowl center voided the final three years of his contract and will become a free agent, a person familiar with the decision told the Associated Press on Wednesday. He will be eligible to sign with other teams when NFL free agency opens on March 9, but Mack can still re-sign with the Browns, and that is “very possible,” said the person who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation.

One of the league’s best interior linemen, Mack was set to make $24 million over the next three years on the deal he signed with the Browns in 2014.

NBA

Baron Davis plans comeback attempt Philadelphia — Former NBA All-Star Baron Davis is attempting a comeback, starting with the Philadelphia 76ers’ developmental league team.

Davis signed with the Delaware 87ers on Wednesday. The 6-foot-3, 215-pound Davis hasn’t played since the 2011-12 season because of a variety of injuries.

LHS, FSHS bowling to be represented at state

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Lawrence High senior Triston Decker and sophomore Javier Lemmons have bowled together for several years through youth leagues, tournaments and high school.

For Decker, it makes it a little more special that the two can bowl together at the Class 6A state tournament at Northrock Lanes in Wichita today.

The boys will begin at

9:30 a.m., and the girls will follow at 2:15 p.m.

The Lions missed qualifying for state as a team by 35 pins at regionals last week, but Decker, Lemmons and senior Morgan Sisson were among the top six bowlers on nonqualifying teams, which punched their ticket to state.

Decker finished seventh individually with a 648 three-game series, his second-best total of the year. Sisson was ninth

with a 644, and Lemmons narrowly qualified with a 613.

Last season, Lemmons was the only LHS qualifier from the boys team, and Decker narrowly missed out.

“I’m surprisingly not really nervous, I guess,” Decker said. “Just more relieved that I’m actually going this year.”

Regionals was even more painful for the LHS girls bowling squad. The Lions missed out on a trip

to state as a team by 14 pins. Sophomores Holly Evans (627 series, fourth overall at regionals) and Diamonique Vann (584, ninth) qualified as individuals.

Evans left nothing up to chance at regionals.

She traveled to the lanes in Topeka earlier in the week for some extra practice, and she rolled her best series of the season by 53 pins.

“It’s really exciting,” Evans said. “I didn’t put

much thought into it. I just bowled my best, and here I am.”

Evans traveled to state with the Lions last year, but watched LHS finish third in the team standings as an alternate. Vann rolled a 534 and finished 24th overall.

Free State senior Gentry Jordan was the school’s only state qualifier, earning the sixth and final spot from the girls regional with a 564 series.

Though she was sad to see her teammates end their season, it was Jordan’s goal all season long to earn her first trip to state. At practice, Free State juniors Alex Jimenez and Alex Craig joined Jordan so she wouldn’t be alone in her preparation for Wichita.

“I’m just happy to be there. I’m just happy that I made it,” Jordan said.

“It’s still going to be a lot of pressure, though, representing Free State.”

with a counter. Juniors Olivia Lemus and Skylar Drum made sure the Lions kept attacking the Lancers off the dribble, as they had all game, and East eventually wore down.

Lemus, who scored five of her game-high 22 points in the fourth, said LHS got comfortable late, in the program’s first home playoff game since 2008, when LHS won the Class 6A state title.

“I think we finally calmed down,” Lemus said after Lawrence’s fifth straight victory. “We did not want to go home. We wanted this game.”

LHS freshman center Chisom Ajekwu, who often controlled the paint, and put up 19 points, eight rebounds and four blocks, said once SME tied the game at 41, the Lions found it within themselves to respond.

“We knew that we couldn’t let them go up, that we couldn’t let them start having a run,” the 6-foot-3 Ajekwu said.

“We started pushing our-

selves harder and driving the ball more and making them foul us when we went to the basket.”

Lawrence, playing without injured sophomore E’lease Stafford, the team’s leading scorer, shot 9-for-17 at the foul line in the fourth, as the home team pulled away, setting up a 7 p.m. Friday sub-state championship game against Shawnee Mission West at LHS. “It doesn’t feel the same without E’lease,” Ajekwu said, “but then again we won it for her.

We all stepped up and did it for her.”

Lemus took on the scoring load in the second quarter, when she made all four of her field-goal attempts, hit a three-pointer and two free throws and accounted for 11 of Lawrence’s 15 points.

Dickson said Lemus might be known as more of a shooter, but the junior is just an aggressive offensive player.

“We try to coach ’em up, just to take what the defense gives you, and they were sagging off so they could help on Chisom,” Dickson said, “so we needed to put the ball

on the floor a little bit more, and she did a tremendous job.”

After missing three from beyond the arc in the opening minutes, Lemus changed her game plan.

“First quarter, I kind of got a little frustrated with myself because I didn’t hit a couple of shots,” she said, “but I knew that if I wasn’t seeing my threepoint shot go through I could take it to the rack.

I just looked for my lane to drive.”

of weeks,” FSHS coach Bryan Duncan said. “I think having a game like this actually helped us more than it hurt us tonight. We were able to get some nerves out, and in the second half, particularly, we could get out, play loose and play simple.”

Facing Wichita East’s 2-3 zone defense, the Firebirds played through senior forward Peyton Brown, who scored eight of her 10 points in the first half.

Her teammates had the ball along the baseline and delivered passes to Brown, who made cuts to the rim for layups.

There’s no question the 5-foot-9 Brown is playing with more confidence on the offensive end.

She has averaged 11.3 points in the past three games.

year,” said Brown, who added five rebounds. “I just want to leave everything out there on the court. That means shooting more and driving.”

After Brown carried Free State’s offense in the first half, Piper and senior guard Caiti Schlesener took the torch from there.

The duo combined for 16 of the team’s 18 points in the third quarter when sixth-seeded Wichita East (7-14) switched to a man-to-man defense.

In the third quarter, Schlesener drilled two three-pointers, and Piper scored on putbacks, floaters and free throws.

“Watching Caiti go to work was awesome,” Brown said. “Toward the end of the game, as soon as she shot it, I knew it was going in. When she’s on fire, she’s on fire.”

The Firebirds earned a running clock in the fourth quarter after scoring 10 points in the first four minutes, turning steals into a layup line.

Men’s RPI Leaders

INDIANAPOLIS — The Rating Percentage Index (RPI) has been used by the NCAA since 1981 to supplement the selection of at-large teams and the seeding of all teams for the NCAA basketball tournament. This is the official list of rankings, as released by the NCAA. The RPI is derived from three component factors: Div. I winning percentage (25)%, schedule strength (50)%; and opponent’s schedule strength (25)%. Games against non-Division I opponents are not used in calculating the RPI. Road wins are weighted at 1.4; road losses at .6; home wins at .6; and home losses at 1.4. Neutral-site games are valued at 1.0. The NCAA provides only rankings without calculations.

Royals’ Zimmer impresses in loss

Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo

KANSAS UNIVERSITY’S HUNTER MICKELSON (42) LOOKS TO THE BASKET for a shot as he is fouled by UC Irvine’s Dominique Dunning on Dec. 29, 2015, in Allen Fieldhouse.

Mickelson CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

with a bunch of buddies back home. They tell me how they are doing, send me pictures of what they get. I’ve been invited to a few places, but with school and practice you’d have to miss a class to go.”

Also ... “I didn’t bring my gun with me and didn’t bring any of my gear with me (to school),” he added.

“It’s a big hassle (to borrow), so I’ve been sticking to fishing and playing basketball, really.”

In a recent interview, Mickelson, who in May will receive a generalstudies degree from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, joked: “The last thing I shot technically was a Coke can.”

Not to mention basketballs.

Mickelson has worked tirelessly on his game in the gym since his arrival before his red-shirt season in 2013-14.

“He’s fallen in love with the game,” KU coach Bill Self said of Mickelson, who averages 2.5 points (off 50 percent shooting) and 2.4 boards while logging 8.1 minutes a game in 22 games for the 26-4 Big 12 champs.

“You could see that last summer in Korea (where he played a huge role on KU’s gold-medal winning World University Games team). Everybody loves how hard he works, and everybody loves his attitude. What a great kid,” Self added.

“He always does well in practice,” noted fellow big man Lucas. “And whenever he’s called on, he’s shown he is more than capable of playing at a very, very high level.

It’s great to have someone like him that’s always ready to go when called on.”

Mickelson plans to continue his career onto the pro level next season — “I’d go pretty much anywhere,” he said.

He agrees with his

coach that he’s in love with hoops.

“Definitely coming here re-ignited the flame.

I’m definitely having a great time,” Mickelson said. “I just enjoy doing every little bit of it.”

He looks back at a time his main love was baseball.

“I played on a bunch of travel teams during the summer. It was fun until I got really tall. Sixth, seventh grade I got to the tall and awkward stage. It was kind of hard to play. I got frustrated with it and ended up quitting for a while,” he said.

But his senior year at Jonesboro Westside High School, “I played because all of my buddies were playing. I batted ninth in the lineup, played right field. We had a stacked team, so there was no room for me to be pitching,” he added, laughing.

“I was glad to be out there anywhere.”

He said he didn’t receive any scholarship offers for baseball, instead heard from Arkansas, as

well as KU, Florida, Kentucky, Baylor, Arizona and many others for basketball his senior year. In all, he had 24 scholarship offers, choosing Arkansas.

“It’s been great,” he said of KU. “I’ve gotten a lot stronger, played with a bunch of great guys, talented guys. Everybody I’m surrounded by is good people. I’m definitely happy. Graduating is very important to me.”

A batch of family members will be here Saturday for his Allen Fieldhouse farewell.

“I might try to keep it short and sweet,” he said of his postgame speech to the fans, “thank everybody I need to thank. I’m not trying to be out there forever.”

Then it’s on to the postseason.

“If we keep playing how we’ve been playing,” he said of the Jayhawks, who have wrapped up a 12th-straight Big 12 title, “and tighten up a few things down the road, I think we’ll have a real good chance.”

Surprise, Ariz. (ap) — Promising prospect Kyle Zimmer tossed two scoreless innings for the World Series champion Royals before the Texas Rangers rolled to a 6-2 victory over Kansas City in their Cactus League opener Wednesday.

“I’m excited to get the first one going and hopefully there’s a lot more to come,” said Zimmer, who is trying to make the bigleague roster after injuries stunted his rapid rise through the minors.

The Royals managed one hit, a double by Mike Moustakas, off Colby Lewis and the Rangers bullpen through the first six innings. Lewis is coming off knee surgery in October.

“We’re just going out there and getting our work in,” said Lewis, who walked two in the first to load the bases before escaping the jam. “Just trying to get into pitching shape.”

Nomar Mazara hit a three-run homer in the ninth and finished with four RBIs for Texas. Patrick Kivlehan and Doug Bernier also drove in runs as Texas took the game from its campus cotenant.

Jorge Bonifacio homered in the sixth for Kansas City, and Parker Morin went deep in the eighth.

Chien-Ming Wang, John Lannan and Peter Moylan also made scoreless appearances for the Royals, who took the field for the first time since beating the New York Mets in Game 5 of the World Series.

“It’s nice to do something different,” Royals manager Ned Yost said.

“We’ve been practicing.

We’ve been taking batting practice. Now we get out on a big diamond in front of a crowd and start playing again.”

Starting time Rangers: Lewis fared better than he did in his spring debut a year ago, when he allowed six runs on five hits — three of them homers — and a walk in one inning against Kansas City.

Royals: Zimmer had help from a double play turned by promising shortstop Raul Mondesi Jr. to get through the second inning. The big righthander struck out Elvis Andrus to cap his day.

Trainer’s room Rangers: RHP Yu Darvish threw 20 pitches from a full-size mound in his second bullpen session Wednesday.

Royals: RF Jarrod Dyson left after two innings with a strained right oblique. Dyson is likely going to platoon at the position with Paulo Orlando.
