KATE MEGHJI, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AT THE LAWRENCE HUMANE SOCIETY, spends some quality time with Alps, one of the shelter’s dogs up for adoption, in Meghji’s office recently. Meghji joined the local agency in August 2014.

Humane Society leader hoping to redefine image of animal shelter

By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @conrad_swanson

K

ate Meghji recalls her time in the MBA program at the University of Illinois in her home town of Urbana.

When students were called to work on projects, many focused on larger businesses, but Meghji preferred to examine the nonprofit

business community.

“It was me and all these guys who worked at banks,” she said. “There weren’t very many nonprofit people.”

Meghji graduated from Evergreen State College in Washington with degrees in molecular biology and biochemistry, she said.

Initially her plan was to study infectious diseases or work for

the Centers for Disease Control. But after graduation, as she prepared to take her Graduate Record Examinations, Meghji said she was hired as a medical assistant for the local humane society — a job that would change everything.

“That sort of did it for me. I got bit by the shelter bug,” she said.

Over the next five weeks, Douglas County District Court Judge Paula Martin will preside over three nearly back-to-back first-degree murder jury trials.

Chief Judge Robert Fairchild said it is unusual for jury trials to stack up in one courtroom, especially with high-profile cases.

“Certainly we schedule jury trials every week, but it is very rare for all of them to go to trial,” Fairchild said. “It is especially unusual for them all to take place before the same judge.”

Fairchild said judges can ask that cases be reassigned if their schedules are too busy, but Martin is prepared for the three cases coming up.

Here is a look at the cases set for trial beginning today:

Judge Paula Martin will preside over the jury trials of the three defendants below.

Today’s race issues require post-1960s framework, KU prof says

“

By Sara Shepherd

We have gotten to the point where the ’60s have done more than inform how we think about political, cultural and social challenges today. It can actually undercut our political imagination and analysis.”

Twitter: @saramarieshep

The civil rights movement of the 1960s was rife with heroes, villains and drama.

Racism was outright. Blacks were explicitly excluded — often in writing — from facets of society. Those problems were clear and tangible.

It’s no wonder the era has made for compelling books and movies, such as the recent award-winning film “Selma.”

— Clarence Lang, Kansas University associate professor of African and African-American History

It’s also no wonder that the events of the ’60s — which are marking 50-year anniversaries this decade — weigh heavily in civil rights conversations of today. But in a new book, Kansas University associate professor of African and African-American History Clarence Lang argues they weigh too heavily.

lenges today,” Lang said. “It can actually undercut our political imagination and analysis.”

Lang argues in his book “Black America in the Shadow of the Sixties: Notes on the Civil Rights Movement, Neoliberalism, and Politics” that today’s civil rights threats take a different form, and, as such, today’s civil rights injustices must be weighed against the new backdrop instead of the old.

Race CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Lang said his book stemmed from a 2012 blog post about the death of Trayvon Martin, the black teen shot and killed that year by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman in Sanford, Fla. At the time, Lang said, he was struck by how many people were framing Martin’s death within the narrative of the 1960s.

“People were talking about it as if the circumstances around this death reflected a kind of racism that we had passed,” Lang said. By doing so, “we’re actually misunderstanding the context.”

Between then and the book’s publication, Lang’s thesis was bolstered by ensuing events, including the acquittal of Zimmerman and, more recently, police shootings in Ferguson, Mo., and other communities.

Unlike the outright racism of 50 years ago, Lang said the new racism — and new context in which such events must be viewed — is a set of social and economic policies that negatively affect black Americans, as well as Americans of all races who are poor.

On their face such policies are neutral, but their effects are inequality, he said. Examples range from mass incarceration to lack of living wages, he said.

Lang said those differences also call for a different kind of activism.

“The issues are not the same as they were in the 1960s; therefore, neither can the response be the same,” he said. “I think all of us engaged in ideas of social justice need to think about how that looks in light of conditions we ac-

. tually face and not based on a narrative we have dragged with us for 40 years.”

Two local leaders who were involved with the civil rights movement of the ’60s reflected on differences between then and now.

Bill Tuttle, KU professor emeritus of American History, arrived in Lawrence in 1967 and taught KU’s first black history course in 1968, he said.

Tuttle said the narrative for his coming of age was the civil rights movement of the ’60s, and while the decade’s message of equal rights is still relevant for some situations today, it can’t explain all.

Now, Tuttle said “entrenched economic issues” and “de facto” racism and segregation lead to a form of racism that’s less cutand-dried than the legal segregation blacks fought against in the 1960s.

“There’s a multitude of those, and they’re all disturbing,” Tuttle said.

Verdell Taylor Jr., pastor of St. Luke AME Church, said it’s important for older and younger generations to keep talking.

“We felt the pain. We felt the dog bites and the fire hoses and things like that,” Taylor said. “Our younger people today have not lived that — not that they need to.”

Taylor said dialogue can help today’s young people understand the significance of the past and update momentum achieved by older generations to stay relevant.

“Nobody wants to get stuck in the ’60s,” Taylor said.

“That’s something that will be forever there. But to make it, you have to go beyond that.”

At a May preliminary hearing, Lawrence detective M.T. Brown testified that McLinn told him she drugged Sasko on the evening of Jan. 14, 2014, ziptied Sasko’s ankles and wrists, plunged a hunting knife into his neck and sliced ear to ear. She then wrote the letters “F” and “R” in Sasko’s blood on his wall, Brown testified, in an attempt to spell out the word “freedom.”

Brown said that Sasko sent McLinn a text message days before his death apologizing for trying to have sex with her, but that McLinn told Brown that wasn’t the reason she killed Sasko. Rather, Brown testified that McLinn said she killed Sasko because she “wanted to see someone die.”

McLinn’s attorney, Carl Cornwell, has said he plans to use the “not guilty by mental disease or defect” defense. In January, he won the right to use in trial the statements McLinn gave to a hired psychologist relating to alleged abuse she suffered as a child, as well as information about Sasko’s conduct.

Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson, who has said McLinn’s actions during and before the homicide indicate premeditation, will seek a “Hard 50” sentence, or 50 years in prison, if McLinn is convicted.

Walker, tried to steal money or marijuana from Roberts and shot him when he didn’t comply.

At Robinson’s preliminary hearing in October, Roberts’ son, Michael Neis-Roberts, and brother, Wayne Roberts, said they saw two men in the home that night, but neither could identify Robinson as one of them.

Walker testified at his trial last month that he and Robinson had gone to the home to buy marijuana from Roberts, not to rob him. Aiming to show the regularity of Patrick Roberts’ drug deals, Robinson’s attorney, Branden Smith, asked Martin at a hearing Feb. 27 to let him introduce information at trial about a Drug Enforcement Administration raid of the home within 30 days of Roberts’ death.

Assistant Douglas County District Attorney Amy McGowan objected, saying Neis-Roberts and Wayne Roberts will testify to the victim’s drug dealing at Robinson’s trial. Smith said their testimony at Walker’s trial minimized the extent to which Patrick Roberts — KU reporter Sara Shepherd can be was involved in selling reached at sshepherd@ljworld.com or marijuana.

jury instructions during his initial trial justify a new one.

At Miller’s original trial, prosecutors accused the former Lawrence carpenter and Christian school leader of strangling his wife in their bed because he had been having an affair with another woman and wanted to collect $300,000 in life insurance money.

At that trial, evidence of Miller’s extramarital affair, use of pornography and siphoning of his children’s college savings accounts was introduced as evidence of Miller’s “double life” and propensity to kill, according to court records. Last month, Miller’s attorney, Richard Ney, argued that evidence should not be admissible in the retrial because it is “being used for character assassination.”

Ney argues Mary Miller’s death was from natural causes, as the initial autopsy did not conclude the death was a homicide.

Ney said that the case “is frankly over whether the jury decides it was a homicide” and that he would not introduce any other possible suspect as a defense.

Assistant Douglas County District Attorney Mark Simpson said it is crucial to show Miller’s sexual deviancy and siphoning of his children’s bank accounts to demonstrate “how the defendant wanted to live and how he could live openly if his wife was gone.”

“We have to prove intent and premeditation,” Simpson said.

Martin, who presided over Miller’s first trial, has yet to announce a decision on whether the evidence at issue could be admitted.

help, Stone said.

Aside from changing up the way things are done within the shelter, Meghji has also cast a wide net to businesses throughout Lawrence to increase the facility’s presence and give it a more personal touch, Stone said.

That personal touch has also been extended to her employees, Stone added.

Work in the industry can commonly go unrecognized, but Meghji makes sure to communicate with everyone in the shelter.

Although Meghji hasn’t lived in Lawrence for long, she said she knows she can be a positive influence in the community.

difficulties, collaborating with other agencies and acting as a cornerstone for animal information, Meghji said she’s confident the Lawrence Humane Society can change the way people think about animal shelters.

“A lot of people assume an animal shelter is a sad, scary place, that we’re a doggy jail. And that’s not who we are at all,” she said. “We provide the service of taking in these animals, but that’s such a small part of our identity.

I think this humane society can and should be the central pet resource for the entire community.”

KILT-CLAD ANDY SPREHE DRAWS A CROWD AS HE LOBS A STEEL BALL while participating in the annual Irish Road Bowling Fundraiser Sunday at Clinton State Park. The contest was a fundraiser for the Lawrence St. Patrick’s Day Parade.

Irish road bowling benefit sees record turnout

By Rochelle Valverde Twitter: @RochelleVerde

Kilts, kegs of beer and the lobbing of a 28-ounce steel ball came together in the fourth annual Irish Road Bowling Fundraiser Sunday afternoon at Clinton State Park.

The competition, a fundraiser for the Lawrence St. Patrick’s Day Parade, saw its best turnout yet, with about 40 teams participating, said Dani Davey, co-chair of the parade committee.

The event raised approxi-

mately $4,500, Davey said. It was the ninth of 10 fundraising events leading up to the Lawrence St. Patrick’s Day Parade. Proceeds from the events and the parade will be donated to charities that serve area youth.

The object of Irish road bowling, which involves no pins, is to throw the ball as far as one can and complete the course in as few throws, or “strokes,” as possible. As music played from loudspeakers, participants played the approximately one-mile course with coolers in tow.

Teams consisted of three to five members, with each team donating $120 to participate. An award ceremony at 23rd Street Brewery followed the event, and the top three finishing teams received prizes. The winning team — Michael Tate, Danny Zamora, Bobby Pauley and Casey McCollum — finished the course in 23 strokes, Davey said.

This is the 28th year for the Lawrence St. Patrick’s Day Parade, which, as of last year, had raised more than $800,000 for local chari-

The final fundraising event will be the Motorcycle Poker Run, which will start at noon Saturday at the Slow Ride Roadhouse, 1350 N. Third St. Additional details can be found online at www.lawrencestpatricksdayparade.com.

This year’s parade will begin at 1 p.m. March 17 at 11th and Massachusetts streets.

Seal a pipe joint with oakum, lead Oakum is a loosely twisted rope-like material made from oiled jute or hemp fibers. Traditionally manufactured in prisons or workhouses by disassembling old rope lengths and rubbing the strands with pine tar or oil, oakum was a staple in boat building and pipe assembly for many years.

In some situations, using oakum to seal a cast-iron pipe joint is still a viable option.

Step 1: Remove lead and oakum remnants from the joint to be packed. Clean and dry the joint thoroughly.

County Road 1055 to close for culvert, bridge upgrades Sections of the popular route connecting Lawrence and Baldwin City — and, at times, the whole route — will be closed for much of the coming construction season as Douglas County Public Works undertakes a three-phase improvement of the road.

Although weather could change the schedule, the plan now is to close County Road 1055 on March 23 from just north of the Baldwin City limits at North 400 Road to North 600 Road. Both intersections would stay open, said Keith Browning, Doug-

las County Public Works director.

The work will include replacement of narrow culverts with wider ones south of the North 500 Road intersection and reconstruction of 1055 for about half a mile south of that point, Browning said.

The southern section of County Road 1055 will be reopened when that work is finished in late April and will remain open until June 1. At that time, work will start on the replacement of a large culvert over the stream just north of North 500 Road with a 75-foot signal-span concrete bridge. Browning said

Step 2: Loosely roll the oakum to form a workable length. Do not stretch the material.

Keep it thick and pliable.

Step 3: Insert the smaller pipe into the hub. The bottom of the pipe should fit snugly against the bottom of the hub. Pack the joint with 2 ounces of oakum for every 1 inch of hub diameter.

Step 4: Use a packing iron, dull chisel or flat screwdriver to pack the oakum evenly into the pipe joint. “Yarn� the oakum into the joint by bunching it into small folds as it is pressed into the hub.

The paved shoulder will start 250 feet south of the intersection and carry on 200 feet to the north of the corner. l Reducing the steepness of ditch slopes.

Step 7: For a traditional seal, use 12 ounces of lead for each inch of the pipe’s diameter. For example, use 3 pounds of lead for a 4-inch pipe.

Heat the lead until it no longer sticks to the ladle.

Prevent molten lead from exploding during the pour by dripping a small amount of oil onto the packed oakum before proceeding.

Step 8: In one continuous motion, pour the molten lead into the pipe joint. Once complete, the lead should be level with the hub’s top

edge. Soil pipe sealant or a plastic lead substitute may be used in place of lead for sealing the oakum joint. Pack the sealant firmly atop the oakum and smooth the sealant around the edges of the hub to ensure that moisture cannot seep into the joint.

Step 9: For leaded applications, allow the lead to cool completely, then tamp the lead seal down into the hub, tapping the inside edge down first and the outside edge last. — Have a home improvement question for the Fix-It Chick? Email it to Linda Cottin at features@ljworld.com.

Doctoral candidate at Baker heads to Swaziland on Fulbright

By Elvyn Jones ejones@theworldco.info

A Baker University doctoral candidate will head to Swaziland early next year on a Fulbright Scholarship to help aspiring journalists and work with those practicing the profession.

Peter Morello is an associate professor of communications studies at the University of Missouri — Kansas City and a doctoral candidate in Baker’s leadership in higher education program. If all goes as planned, he will arrive in Swaziland in January 2016 on a six- to eight-month assignment. While there, he will work with practicing broadcast journalists in the landlocked nation of about 1.1 million people wedged between South Africa and Mozambique.

He will teach journalism students and develop journalism curriculum at the University of Swaziland. “The State Department invited me to apply for this,� Morello said. “Relations with Swaziland are not the best. They haven’t got favored trade status because of things like press freedom, but they are still part of the Fulbright program. It’s hoped visits like this will help make progress toward democracy.�

Funded by the U.S. State Department, Fulbright Scholarships are among the most prestigious academic awards.

According to the Fulbright Program website, the program provides 8,000 grants annually to scholars for graduate study, to undertake advanced research, to lecture at universities and to teach in classrooms.

The invitation to apply didn’t come with an assurance he would be selected for the Fulbright, Morello said. Morello said his application and proposals went through multiple reviews domestically and in Swaziland.

He had connections in the State Department because of a past professional visit to Ethiopia through a different Fulbright program, Morello said.

Before joining the UMKC faculty in 1999, Morello spent 15 years as a correspondent and producer of the PBS program “European Journal,� covering such political and economic stories as the fall of the Berlin Wall, the breakup of the Soviet Union, the growth of democratic movements in Eastern Europe, the war in Bosnia and famine relief efforts in Somalia.

Swaziland is officially the Kingdom of Swaziland, which reflects its rule by the absolute monarch, Mswati III. The 46-year-old king is a very active ruler, and as president of the University of Swaziland, he reviewed Morello’s Fulbright proposal, selecting him over other possible candidates in fields such as biology. “I’m surprised he went with me because he’s the one restricting press freedom and from what I understand doesn’t like

journalists very much,�

Morello said. “I’m not sure what he’s looking for or what he wants.�

One thing Morello knows the king doesn’t want is a visiting professor instructing young students in journalism that criticizes him and the government. “I knew if I took this, I couldn’t go in saying, ‘you are going to do American-style journalism,’� he said. “You can’t go in like a loudmouth. That’s not going to work. That will get you kicked out.�

Looking Back on 1914-1918

Adam Hochschild Author of King Leopold’s Ghost:

A Story of Greed, Terror, and Heroism in Colonial Africa

7:30P M, MARCH 9, 2015 The Commons, Spooner Hall The First World War is usually remembered as a bloody conflict between rival alliances of nations. But there was another struggle: between people who regarded the war as a noble and necessary crusade, and a brave minority who felt it was tragic madness and who refused to fight. Writer Adam Hochschild will describe this in an illustrated talk based on his book: To End All Wars: A Story of Loyalty and Rebellion, 1914-1918.

Worth a look A Medicaid expansion plan that is tailored to the specific needs of Kansas deserves the Kansas Legislature’s attention.

A

small window of opportunity appears to be opening that may allow consideration of expanding Medicaid in Kansas.

The House Vision 2020 Committee, chaired by Rep. Tom Sloan, R-Lawrence, got the ball rolling by holding hearings and drafting legislation outlining a Medicaid expansion plan designed to be politically acceptable to state legislators who oppose the Affordable Care Act. Several other states that initially had opposed Medicaid expansion have taken similar steps; Kansas is one of 14 states that hasn’t found a way to tap into federal Medicaid expansion funds.

At the end of February, the effort got another boost when Rep. Jim Ward, a Wichita Democrat, attempted to amend the Medicaid expansion proposal into an unrelated bill on the floor of the Kansas House. In exchange for Ward agreeing to drop his amendment, House leaders agreed to allow a hearing on expanding Medicaid, which is known in Kansas as KanCare.

A few days later, while addressing the Kansas Association of Insurance Agents, Gov. Sam Brownback also seemed to soften his opposition to the Medicaid expansion. Brownback initially took a strong stand against accepting the expansion because the state couldn’t depend on continued federal funding for the program. Last week, perhaps motivated by the state’s current financial woes and pressure from the state’s health care providers, he took a more moderate tone, saying any plan would have to be initiated by the Legislature and include a means to cover the expansion costs — which the Vision 2020 Committee plan does.

The federal government agreed to pay 100 percent of the cost of Medicaid expansion for the first three years, although Kansas already has missed out on some of that money. After 2016, the federal contribution will taper down to 90 percent by 2020.

If legislators are concerned about long-term federal funding for the program, they can put conditions on the expansion. In the worst-case scenario, if federal matching funds go away entirely, Kansas can cut back on the expansion, but in the meantime, an estimated 140,000 to 170,000 Kansans would be eligible for Medicaid health care benefits.

That not only helps individual Kansans but also provides a financial boost for Kansas health care providers and the state economy as a whole.

“The governor and other legislative leaders have said they rejected a federal program, the Affordable Care Act, but would look at a Kansas plan,” Sloan said last month. The Vision 2020 Committee has created such a plan — one that provides some political distance from ACA and can serve as a solid starting point for further legislative action specifically tailored to the needs of Kansas.

The committee plan still will face political hurdles, but it’s good to see some basis on which to at least discuss the possibility of providing Medicaid health benefits to thousands of Kansans who need that help.

Bibi provides good drama, poor policy Benjamin Netanyahu did a disservice to the U.S.-Israel alliance and the goal of preventing an Iranian bomb by his political grandstanding before Congress last week.

If his real goal was to prevent Tehran from getting nukes (and not just to boost his re-election odds or trash President Obama), then he undercut it. Let me count the ways.

First: By accepting a Republican invitation to address Congress issued behind Obama’s back, the Israeli premier transformed a serious issue into a partisan slugfest. Republicans welcomed the Israeli leader as if he were Ronald Reagan delivering the State of the Union; their whoops and cheers for his not-so-subtle attacks on Obama’s Iran diplomacy turned a serious debate into a political circus.

Second: Although Netanyahu raised valid concerns about the supposed terms of the deal under negotiation with Iran by the so-called P5+1 (the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China) — his actual goal seemed to be to torpedo any deal rather than make its terms stronger. (Keep in mind that no one yet knows the final terms of any deal.)

The Israeli leader didn’t openly say he wanted to doom the negotiations, but he put forward conditions that would do so. Bibi (the nickname used by most Israelis) argued that a deal would leave Iran with thousands of centrifuges used to enrich uranium, which could one day be used to make a bomb. He wants to eliminate all of Iran’s nuclear program.

That would be great if it were achievable, but it isn’t,

Trudy Rubin

“

trubin@phillynews.com

Although Netanyahu raised valid concerns about the supposed terms of the deal under negotiation with Iran … his actual goal seemed to be to torpedo any deal rather than make its terms stronger.” as I was told by Robert Einhorn, a former member of the U.S. team negotiating with Iran. The alternative being pursued by the P5+1 is to sharply limit the number of centrifuges, transfer most of Iran’s enriched uranium out of the country and impose a U.N. inspection regime that’s tougher and more intrusive than that required of any other country.

The goal: to ensure that, if Iran wanted to “break out” of a deal, it would take it at least a year to gear its program back up, enough time for inspectors to discover the breach and for the outside world to take action.

There are other concerns about the deal — like leaked reports of a sunset clause — that need addressing. But rather than focus on making the deal better, Netanyahu seemed bent on heading it off.

Third: Having trashed Obama’s diplomacy, Netan-

yahu never clarified what he thought would — or should — happen if the diplomatic option is torpedoed. Instead, he insisted limits on Iran’s nuclear program be kept so long as Tehran “continues its aggression in the region and the world.”

That bravura elicited cheers in Congress but did little to tell us how Iran’s nuclear program will be curbed.

If Bibi can lobby Congress to block anything less than a perfect deal, most of the P5+1 are likely to blame Washington for the debacle. International sanctions against Iran are likely to collapse, and the regime will roar ahead with production of advanced centrifuges.

Then, no doubt, Bibi will once again be urging the United States to join Israel in a military strike on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, as he has done in the past.

Fourth: Netanyahu’s speech — which exaggerated Iran’s threat to the West — aimed to whet Congress’ appetite for a future U.S. military strike on Iran.

Israel has very legitimate reasons for concern about the nuclear intentions of the ayatollahs. But Bibi’s efforts to compare the Tehran regime’s threat to the West with that of the Islamic State is counterfactual fear mongering.

Iran is a real state, not a roving terrorist gang. Its leaders are quite worldly and know a nuclear strike on Europe or the United States (or Israel for that matter) would ensure its destruction. It can’t threaten the West directly.

True, Iran is a nasty Mideast player, and its regional behavior is unlikely to improve with a nuclear deal. If the goal, however, is to slow

Iran’s march toward the nuclear threshold (many experts think Tehran wants capacity, not the actual bomb), then diplomacy still holds the best potential. Most experts think airstrikes would only set Tehran’s program back a few years, but would convince the ayatollahs that they need an actual weapon.

I agree heartily with Daniel Kurtzer, one of our smartest Mideast experts and a former U.S. ambassador to Egypt and Israel, who wrote in Politico: “If a negotiated agreement, designed to last for 10 years, is not sufficiently attractive to Netanyahu, why would a setback of fewer than 10 years be more attractive?

“A military strike will destroy some physical facilities, but it certainly won’t impact Iranian know-how, and it might just impel the Iranians to unify ranks behind a serious, clandestine breakout program. Is this what Netanyahu has in mind?”

So, if he really wanted to slow Iran’s nuclear march, Bibi would be conferring with Obama on realistic ideas to make a deal tougher. For example, longtime U.S. diplomat Dennis Ross suggests spelling out in advance the consequences for “all classes of violations of the agreement” — including the use of force if Iran tried to break out and develop a weapon.

Instead, Netanyahu chose theatrics and pumping up his congressional allies toward endorsing another Mideast war in the future. That’s fine for television drama, but it’s bad for U.S. interests — and bad for stopping Iran’s march toward a bomb.

Audit whitewash

teed by Kansas law. A retiree will receive his or her benefit for life, no matter the economic condition. Members who leave employment and withdraw their contributions before retirement will receive the full amount they have contributed, plus interest.

How do I withdraw my money out of the KPERS Retirement System? You can apply to withdraw your contributions plus interest 31 days after your last day on your employer’s payroll, if you have not returned to any covered employment with any participating employer.

When you withdraw, you will give up all retirement system rights, benefits and service credit.

What happens if the Kansas state legislature privatizes our public education system?

What happens to KPERS? Should investors be concerned? Can KPERS be declared insolvent by our Legislature?

Richard Heckler, Lawrence

To the editor: I’ve been an attorney for over 40 years. In that period of time, I’ve studied and dissected an uncountable number of audit reports. The report made by auditor Warren Hudson on the Rock Chalk project strikes me as one of the most unprofessional reports I’ve ever encountered.

Auditors report facts. They do not praise or blame. They don’t kiss anyone’s shoes. They don’t say that the entity being audited “performed more due diligence than I have ever seen,” particularly since the entity is also the hiring agency, and the facts show that an amazing lack of due diligence caused this furor. They don’t say things like “I’m not entirely sure why...”, as Hudson did several times. If he’s not entirely sure why certain actions were taken, then this is a negative finding and should be reported as such. For some peculiar reason, the auditor states that he could not find a comparable project. How about checking with Kansas City or Topeka? I’ll wager he would find a dozen.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for March 9, 1915: years “The snow which ago lies in great IN 1915 abundance on the streets of Lawrence has reached that stage through the action of occasional rays of sun where the pedestrian has a feeling of anticipation in the back of his head when passing a group of small boys. A number of boys on the way to and from school have taken to forming in small gangs and making a target of passersby. High crown hats and derbies are shown marked partiality but a number of women have been extremely annoyed by this pastime of the boys.”

“At least to some of the inmates of the county jail life is not such a dreary proposition.

At almost any time in the afternoon strains of melody, alleged to be music, can be heard issuing from the interior of the rock walls. Sheriff Cummings places the charge of instigating the same at the door of Scoop Ferguson. ‘Prof.’ Ferguson is equally proficient on the mandolin, violin and guitar. With these instruments he regales his involuntary audience.”

“The University mid-week date rule has been suspended tonight to allow students to attend the Zoellner concert on the hill tonight, which is one of a series given under the concert course, or to attend the ‘movies’ to help pay off the remaining $120 student council debt from the defunct student union. The receipts from the Varsity theater tonight will be turned over to the University men’s council to apply to this debt.”

“O. T. Cassel has returned from New Mexico after an absence of several years, and will re-enter the employ of the Union Pacific track department, if he as well pleased at his return after a few weeks as he is now. The dear old Kaw Valley looks good to him, he says.”

Thousands crowd Ala. bridge on march’s 50th anniversary “

Selma, Ala. (ap) — Thousands of people crowded an Alabama bridge on Sunday, many jammed shoulder to shoulder, many unable to move, to commemorate a bloody confrontation 50 years ago between police and peaceful protesters that helped bring about the 1965 Voting Rights Act. A day after President Barack Obama had walked atop the Edmund Pettus Bridge, police said at least 15,000 to 20,000 people had joined the crush on and around the small bridge. Many came from around the country for several events commemorating the landmark moment.

William Baldwin, 69, of Montgomery, brought his two grandsons, ages 11 and 15, to the bridge Sunday so they could grasp the importance of the historic march he took part in a half century earlier.

“They’re going to take this struggle on and we have to understand the price that was paid for them to have what they have now,” Baldwin said.

“It wasn’t granted to them, it was earned by

We know the march is not yet over, the race is not yet won, and that reaching that blessed destination where we are judged by the content of our character requires admitting as much.”

blood, sweat and tears.”

Some sang hymns and others held signs, such as “Black lives matter, all lives matter.”

On March 7, 1965, police beat and tear-gassed marchers at the foot of the bridge in Selma in a spasm of violence that shocked the nation. The attack help build momentum for passage of the Voting Rights Act later that year.

Attorney General Eric Holder, speaking at Brown Chapel AME Church Sunday, drew parallels, without being explicit, between the events of 1965 and today. He noted that the “Bloody Sunday” march was sparked by the murder of activist Jimmie Lee Jackson, “an unarmed, young black man.”

“An unarmed, young

black man,” he repeated.

On Saturday, Obama joined civil rights leaders and others at the bridge and talked about progress in race relations since the 1960s. He mentioned recent high-profile clashes between citizens and law enforcement on the circumstances leading to fatal police shootings and law enforcement tactics toward minorities.

“We just need to open our eyes, and ears, and hearts, to know that this nation’s racial history still casts its long shadow upon us,” Obama said.

“We know the march is not yet over, the race is not yet won, and that reaching that blessed destination where we are judged by the content of our character requires admitting as much.”

5 charged in Russian opposition leader’s slaying Moscow — Five men from the Caucasus region of southern Russia were brought Sunday before a Moscow court where two were charged for their alleged roles in the killing of Kremlin critic Boris Nemtsov.

One of the suspects, former police commander Zaur Dadayev, pleaded guilty to the murder

charge, the official Tass news agency reported.

“Dadayev’s involvement is confirmed by his confession,” Judge Natalya Mushnikova of the Basmanny district court was quoted as announcing after the arraignment.

Charges were also brought against Anzor Gubashev, who was arrested Saturday. Three

other suspects were held for further investigation, court press secretary Anna Fadeyeva said.

Reports by the official Tass and Sputnik news agencies shed little light on a possible motive for the Feb. 27 slaying of Nemtsov, a former first deputy prime minister and outspoken critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The RPI, which some in college basketball like to use as an indication of a team or league’s strength, stands for Really Poor Indicator.

So it matters not what the Big 12 or any other league is ranked in it. The truth is, nobody ever has come up with a worthwhile indicator of a conference’s relative strength.

BRIEFLY

Dustin Johnson takes Cadillac Doral, Fla. — The six-month break from the game raised more questions about Dustin Johnson’s personal life than his golf.

He said it gave him time to work on a little of each, and he delivered answers to both Sunday at the Cadillac Championship.

Johnson made up a five-shot deficit on J.B. Holmes and had a one-shot lead as he stood on the 18th tee at Trump National Doral, among the most daunting shots in golf. He produced his best drive all week, a monster shot that cleared the corner of the water and sent him to a routine par and a victory that never felt better.

He left the green holding his 7-week-old son, Tatum, with fiancee Paulina Gretzky at his side.

“I knew I was really good,” Johnson said. “I knew there was something I was missing that could make me great. I was working hard on that, and I think it’s showing right now. I’m so excited right now, I can’t hardly talk. It feels great. This one definitely, by far, is the best one.”

Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland shot a final-round 70, tying his best round of the tournament, and moved up 17 places to tie for 23rd. He earned $83,000.

COMING TUESDAY

Harvick wins Vegas Las Vegas — After winning the Sprint Cup championship in their first season together, Kevin Harvick and his team came up with a new set of goals this year.

Near the top of the list was winning at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Harvick, who grew up racing across the West Coast, had never won at Las Vegas and he told crew chief Rodney Childers “It would mean the world to him to come here and win.”

So Stewart-Haas Racing built him a fast race car for their first visit to the track, and the team felt it had a chance to win last year’s race. But a mechanical failure derailed his effort, and the loss stuck with them for the entire year.

Harvick pulled off the overdue victory Sunday, grabbing his first win of the season.

It came in just the third race of the season, and Harvick has been inching toward victory lane since he began his title defense.

KU softball thumps Mocs J-W Staff Reports

DeLand, Fla. — Daniella Chavez hit her third grand slam of the season, and Kansas University atoned for a shutout loss to Chattanooga on Saturday with an 11-3 rout of the Mocs in the title game Sunday of the Stetson Classic.

Kansas (21-2) had just three hits against Cori Jennings in a shutout loss to the Mocs on Saturday.

On Sunday, the Jayhawks scored nine runs off five hits off Jennings

and chased her after 22⁄3 innings.

The big blow was Chavez’ slam in the bottom of the first.

“Yesterday, she was fooled big time by that pitcher in every single at-bat,” Kansas coach Megan Smith said of her freshman designated player. “Today was huge. That’s the ballgame. If she doesn’t do that, who knows what happens. She sent a message that we were going to hit, and we continued to do so. I’m really proud of how Daniella

bounced back and had a better mindset at the plate today.”

Alicia Pille improved to 12-0. She allowed three runs — two earned — off seven hits over the full five innings, with six strikeouts and three walks.

“For us to come down here and play Stetson and Chattanooga, who both are NCAA Tournament teams and will be again this year I would imagine, and play them well … it was a great weekend,” Smith said.

“We got punched by

well. He played big down in the post,” Graham said. “He got a lot of rebounds. He was very helpful today. I’m glad he stepped up. It will give him some confidence heading into the postseason.”

Forward Jamari Traylor said: “Landen stepped up. I feel a lot of guys stepped up. We definitely had a lot of fight coming back (from 11-point deficit). Devonté showed a lot of guts.

He made some big shots down the stretch. Everybody was doing what they could.” l

Quite a season: The Jayhawks (24-7 overall, 13-5 Big 12) won the league by one game over Iowa State and OU (12-6).

“We had a remarkable year considering some

of the stuff we’ve gone through,” Self said. “Also, our talent level is really good. I will not apologize for that, but probably not the same as some Kansas teams we’ve run out there in a year the league has been the best it’s ever been.

“It’s been a great year,” he added. “That was a good effort by us (in 75-73 loss to OU). Nobody was laying down. Nobody was playing just to play close (with Ellis, Cliff Alexander, Brannen Greene out and Selden not 100 percent healed from sprained ankle). It was a good effort by us. We just got beat.”

KU will meet either Kansas State or TCU at 1:30 p.m. Thursday in a Big 12 tournament quarterfinal game to be shown on ESPN2.

Royals dodge bees, sting Angels, 6-4 Tempe, Ariz. (ap) — A swarm of bees chased players from the field and fans from their seats before the Angels’ Mike Trout hit his first spring homer and the Royals’ Eric Hosmer connected for his second, and Kansas City beat Los Angeles 6-4 Sunday.

Trout, the reigning AL MVP, hit a towering shot in the fifth inning off Miguel Almonte that nearly cleared the berm beyond the wall in leftcenter field 410 feet from home plate. Trout had career highs of 36 homers and 111 RBIs in 2014.

Hosmer had a two-run shot off Matt Shoemaker in the first, a drive to right-center.

“It was just an offspeed pitch,” Shoemaker said. “Just up in the zone.

Not a well-located pitch.”

Shoemaker, a surprise 16-game winner in 2014, made his first Cactus League appearance this year — after a swarm of bees delayed the start of the game for 10 minutes.

The bees flew in from left field and gathered on a microphone attached to the netting behind home plate, toward the to the Angels dugout on the first base side. Fans behind home moved back to the concourse behind the field section of seats.

The umpires waved all players off the field and about five rows of fans were asked to move until the exterminators arrived.

A person in full protective gear shook the netting and sprayed the bees in the fourth inning during another delay of about 10 minutes.

SMU wins AAC title ————

Northern Iowa edges Illinois St. The Associated Press

Top 25 Men No. 22 SMU 67, Tulsa 62 Dallas — Markus Kennedy scored 12 of his 16 points in the second half, and SMU won its first league title in 22 years Sunday, rallying past Tulsa in a game that decided the American Athletic Conference regular-season championship.

The victory gave Hall of Fame coach Larry Brown and the Mustangs (24-6, 15-3) another item for their NCAA Tournament résumé a year after getting snubbed and reaching the NIT championship game.

SMU is looking for its first NCAA berth since winning the old Southwest Conference in 1993.

James Woodard scored all of his career-high 30 points on three-pointers for the Golden Hurricane (21-9, 14-4), who settled for second place after starting 10-0 in the conference but finishing 4-4 under first-year coach Frank Haith.

Nate Buss added 12 points, and the Panthers (30-3) took control with a 25-4 run that erased a 36-22 deficit at the break. Jeremy Morgan had three threepointers in the run, and Tuttle, the Valley player of the year and tournament MVP, added eight points, often getting loose from constant double-teaming.

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Husband’s chats with ex merit a discussion Dear Annie: I have been married to “Ralph” for 30 years.

Recently, I discovered that he has been speaking with an ex-girlfriend on his cellphone.

These conversations have been going on for 10 years. They both say they are only friends, but I don’t believe it.

This woman is married and lives out of state. Can two married people secretly talk to each other for 10 years behind their spouses’ backs and it just be innocent conversation?

By the way, this isn’t an ordinary ex-girlfriend.

Ralph planned to marry her after high school, but she chose college, and he had to let her go.

When I confronted Ralph, he said, “This has nothing to do with you. My feelings for you have never changed, and I never treated you

any differently.” But I feel as if I have been cheated out of 10 years of my marriage because his ex-girlfriend was taking part of him from me and I didn’t know.

Ralph is a phenomenal father and has been a great husband. He wants me to let this go so we can move on. But how can I ever trust him again? — Feeling Betrayed Dear Feeling: Sharing a conversation is not the problem. The

‘Returned’ remake is pointless Early on in “The Godfather,” frightening enforcer Luca Brasi asks to see the Don on the day of his daughter’s wedding. Clearly annoyed, Don Corleone asks his adviser, “Is this necessary?”

Of all of the quotable lines in that movie, I often find myself repeating that one. Uttered with the right air of agitation, “Is this necessary?” can apply to so many things.

I found myself thinking of it while watching A&E’s remake of “The Returned” (9 p.m.).

As readers of this column may recall, “The Returned” is a French miniseries (”Les Revenants”) that aired on Sundance. I thought it was the best show of 2013 and I was hardly alone. Despite its foreign dialogue and subtitles, it earned a 100 percent critics’ ranking on RottenTomatoes.com with an audience approval rating of 98 percent. Just about everyone who has seen it has been blown away. No wonder A&E rushed to remake it.

Over eight episodes it relates a fantastic story of characters, long dead, who simply show up again in an isolated mountain village. They aren’t gory vampires, as on “The Walking Dead,” but simply departed lost souls who want to come home.

OK, they eat like ravenous teenagers and can’t quite fall asleep, but on the surface, they seem “normal.”

There is nothing specifically wrong with this rather faithful A&E remake, except that it turns a sublime and mesmerizing original series into something frequently dull and occasionally campy. The fact that the actors playing the dead look almost identical to their French counterparts is just plain pointless.

This production may be well intentioned, but it has the air of a desecration. It reminded me of that viral story from a few years back of an elderly woman who tried to “improve” and repair a 19th-century Spanish fresco, but instead turned it into a bad joke.

The original version of “The Returned” can be streamed on Netflix.

Tonight’s other highlights

Battles commence on “The Voice” (7 p.m., NBC).

“The Bachelor” (7 p.m., ABC) wraps up its 19th season.

A diplomatic mission on “Scorpion” (8 p.m., CBS).

BIRTHDAYS Actress Joyce Van Patten is 81. Actor-comedian Marty Ingels is 79. Actor Emmanuel Lewis is 44. Rapper Bow Wow is 28.

fact that you were unaware of it for 10 years and this woman was romantically important to your husband is what’s bothering you.

Has Ralph been sharing intimate thoughts with her? Has he expressed an interest in getting together with her? These are the questions you need answered. Ralph may feel that if there was no physical affair, he did nothing wrong.

But anything that loses your trust damages the marriage. Please ask Ralph to come with you for a few sessions with a marriage counselor.

Dear Annie: After raising my two daughters for 25 years, they were told by their mother never to speak to their paternal grandparents or me again, so they haven’t.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Monday, March 9: This year no one will doubt your intuitive strength. You often seem to be able to anticipate what will happen next. If you are single, the period after early summer could be very fruitful as far as dating goes. If you are attached, your relationship benefits from you being more in touch with your feelings.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) Listen to your intuition, yet remain responsive to a friend’s critique. Tonight: Spend quality time with a favorite person.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Defer to others.

People will be delighted to have their way, and you will appreciate being less aggravated. Tonight: Happy close to home.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Someone you look up to could give you important feedback that makes you feel as if you’re on top of the world. Tonight: Make the most out of the moment.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You always seem to make the best of a difficult situation, but today your creativity could be off the mark. Tonight: There is no saying “no.”

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Don’t force yourself to do anything you don’t want to.

Maintain a long-term perspective.

Tonight: Relax at home.

normal and rational take this stance? They decide they will never even discuss the possibility of reconciliation. Is there any way to start the healing process? — Florida Dear Florida: We assume there was a nasty divorce and not abuse, which does not require their forgiveness. Your daughters may feel a great loyalty to Mom and believe it is necessary to respect her wishes, no matter how unfair or hurtful. They may be angry with you, as well.

Please continue to reach out to your daughters.

Let them know you love and miss them, as do their grandparents. We hope at some point they will decide they miss you, too.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You’ll perk up because you are about to hit your most energetic days of the month. Tonight: Catch up on someone else’s news.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Your discomfort will come through to others. There is no point in trying to hide your mood. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Don’t make the assumption that everyone is on the same page as you. In fact, it could be quite the opposite. Tonight: Catch up with friends.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Your creativity is likely to provide an unusual yet effective solution. Tonight: Where your friends are.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Come from a place of love and caring, and try to remain open to a very different perspective. Tonight: Togetherness works.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might want to understand what is happening within your group of friends. Tonight: As you like it.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You intuitively might feel as if you finally are heading in the right direction. Stay focused.

Tonight: Tap into your imagination.
