Teenage murder suspect to be tried as an adult Accused of stabbing grandmother to death

By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

Douglas County prosecutors have filed a motion to try a 17-year-old Lawrence boy as an adult in the stabbing death of his grandmother.

The teen, Jaered Long, was

arrested in late December after police found his grandmother, Deborah Bretthauer, 67, dead in her apartment on Dec. 28 with “obvious traumatic injuries.” Long was 16 at the time.

Both Long and Bretthauer lived in the apartment at 1200 George Court.

Initially Long faced a single charge of first-degree murder in juvenile court. He pleaded

A request to establish a multicultural student government at Kansas University — which proponents said would be unprecedented among U.S. universities — was approved after intense debate Wednesday night.

The KU Student Senate voted on allocating a list of required student fees for the upcoming school year, including a $2 fee increase to fund the newly created Multicultural Student Government. The fee would generate about $90,000 annually and be disseminated through KU’s Office of Multicultural Affairs.

Wednesday.

Ultimately, for the new organization to function the way its leaders envision, Student Senate’s current bylaws would need to be edited to allow for the new body to have representation in decision-making, Student Senate finance committee chairman and law student Tyler Childress explained.

About 50 students of color attended Wednesday’s meeting and lined up behind proponents of the Multicultural Student Government, who presented to the full senate for the first time a written memo explaining more about their ideas for the new organization, along with a slideshow presentation.

accepted,” according to the memo. “The current Student Senate does not advocate for students of color in part due to refusal by select members, and because of lack of understanding and empathy.”

Students Jameelah Jones and Katherine Rainey stressed that the Multicultural Student Government would not be “separate but equal” and would not be divisive.

“What we do does not negate what you do, and vice versa,” Jones said.

“The goal is not to pit one student body against another. That’s not our intention.”

Rainey said each of the eight executive board members would receive a $6,000 annual stipend as opposed to an hourly wage, which would enable participants to hold other campus jobs. She said elections would be held to fill the Multicultural Student Government, and that students could serve on both the Multicultural Student Government and the Student Senate.

She said the government would have “equal representation in all university spaces” and equal seats in the campus fee review process.

Rainey declined to answer questions about detailed logistics, saying it was important instead to fund the group because the Student Senate last fall had pledged its support to the Black Lives Matter

the district’s current goals, he does see the potential to get more input on how those goals are accomplished.

Hayden said key initiatives in the next year will be the expansion of blended learning, planning for renovation of the secondary schools, and continuing the effort to improve equity between subgroups of students.

But he also said that, as superintendent, he’d like to gather more feedback from the community, as well as district teachers, staff and students as part of those initiatives. Those conversations are what he is looking forward to most, Hayden said.

“It’s actually exciting to me to get to talk with more people, more often about more things, and really get to visit with people more about student-centered things, instead of just facilities,” he said.

The board approved a two-year contract for Hayden at a salary of $205,000. Other allowances in addition to his salary include mileage, cellphone and health insurance, according to Da-

“If you believe our lives matter, we are standing up here presenting to you another option to really support multiculturalism,” Rainey said. “Tonight we would also be making history — this would be the first and only multicultural student government the nation has ever seen.

This would be a chance to recognize our pitfalls and want more, and want better.”

A lack of logistics was the chief problem for Student Senate Chief of Staff Adam Moon.

The allocation of resources to underrepresented students is “essential,” Moon said.

“I see a lot of good things that can come of a Multicultural Student Government, I see a lot of positives,” he said. “There is a way that this could work ... yet I still have some reservations.”

Moon said the Multicultural Student Government was a completely new group. While students had been discussing it for months, it only officially formed within the past couple weeks. And $90,000 is a large allocation, he said.

“We have not funded a group that is that newly registered before,” Moon said. “I just want to understand more going forward to make sure this works.”

A number of current senators spoke in favor of funding the group, including Chancellor Adams, senator and interim president of the Black Student Union.

School board Vice President Marcel Harmon said Hayden’s familiarity with the district and its goals was a main factor in his vote, as was Hayden’s open approach to fulfilling them.

“He’s expressed a willingness to continue those successes, but he recognizes that maybe we need to not just necessarily stay the course per se, but also still be willing to look outside the box, look at other things,” Harmon said.

Harmon said he thinks the three finalists — Hayden; Michael Munoz, of Rochester, Minn.; and Shellaine Kiblinger, of Hutchinson — were all good options.

“I think we would have done well with any of them,” Harmon said. “It was a really tough, difficult decision to choose the best out of the best.”

The decision was the culmination of a nationwide search for a new superintendent that returned 28 applicants. In December, the board hired the national firm McPherson & Jacobson to assist in its search for a sum not to exceed $25,000. Sanburn acknowledged some people

House passes bill to automate turnpike tolling

GEORGE POGGE, LEFT, AND LAWRENCE DIETZE SPEAK IN THE BASEMENT OF THE LAWRENCE COMMUNITY BUILDING, 115 W. 11th St., on Sunday afternoon. The space had been leased by the Douglas County Rifle and Pistol Club, which operated a shooting range there for decades, but the city ordered that the range be closed indefinitely last month.

The club spent Sunday afternoon cleaning out the range.

Future unclear for displaced gun club City considering new uses for former shooting range

By Nikki Wentling

Lawrence, who supported the bill, argued that it would modernize the turnpike system in a way that many other states, including Oklahoma and Texas, have done.

Under the plan, turnpike gates would be equipped with cameras that would take pictures of the license plates of vehicles that pass through the gates without paying. The owners of those vehicles would then be sent a bill for the turnpike tolls.

Topeka — The Kansas House narrowly passed a bill Wednesday that would pave the way toward “gateless” tolling on the Kansas Turnpike, a system that would automatically bill motorists who pass through toll booths without Sloan paying.

The bill initially failed on a final action by a 6161 vote. But later in the day, the House agreed to a motion to reconsider that vote, and on a secPlease see TOLLING, page 4A ond vote it passed 63-54.

Highway Patrol poll: Kansans not against tattoos on troopers

By Karen Dillon Twitter: @karensdillon

Being out of shape distracts more from a law enforcement officer’s professional appearance than having a tattoo, a survey by the Kansas Highway Patrol found.

The highway patrol, facing a shortage of troopers, conducted the survey to determine whether to change its policy that prohibits troopers from having tattoos.

The patrol surveyed 21,525 people of whom about 85 percent had at

least taken some college or were college graduates.

Of the respondents, only 28 percent agreed the highway patrol should have a policy prohibiting visible tattoos, 69 percent disagreed and 3 percent didn’t answer or have an opinion.

In addition, only 31 percent agreed the agency should allow only tattoos that are covered by the uniform, 64 percent disagreed and 5 percent did not answer or have an opinion.

Jurors at slaying defendant’s third trial hear evidence of break-in

By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

Asia Morrison picked up her newly purchased Ruger 9mm handgun from a Lawrence pawn shop on Feb. 22, 2014.

She and Dustin Walker, who was her on-and-off boyfriend and the father of two of her children, decided she would buy the gun for protection. At the time she was living in a one-story home in Topeka with her three children.

“I lived in a pretty rough neighborhood, and it was mainly for my safety,” she said.

Walker

Robinson

On March 8, 2014, Morrison learned that Walker was arrested earlier that day as a suspect in the shooting death of 39-year-old Lawrence resident Patrick Roberts.

After talking with police and friends, Morrison said, she felt the need

Roberts to double check that her handgun was still in a shoe box on a high shelf in her closet. It wasn’t.

“I panicked,” she said.

“I was really scared.”

Immediately Morrison called police to tell them about the situation.

On Wednesday Mor-

rison testified in Douglas County District Court, telling jurors about the gun purchase, her relationship with Walker and her recollection of his arrest and the subsequent investigation.

Walker, 31, faces a single count of felony murder, which is a killing committed during the commission of a felony.

Walker is accused of breaking into Roberts’ duplex with another man, Archie Robinson, in the early-morning hours of March 8, 2014, to steal money and marijuana, police said.

During the incident

Walker shot and killed Roberts, police said.

In her opening statement Tuesday prosecutor Amy McGowan told jurors the evidence shows Walker forcibly entered Roberts’ home with the intention to steal his property. Ultimately, she said, the state’s case “is going to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the defendant committed the aggravated burglary, which is the underlying felony to the felony murder.”

Defense Attorney Blake Glover told the jury the evidence illustrates a different scenario, one in which Walker and Rob-

inson did not break into Roberts’ home, but went there to buy marijuana, thus nullifying the underlying felony.

“At the end of all this, what the evidence is going to show is that this was not an aggravated burglary; it was a drug deal gone bad,” he said.

Charges of aggravated burglary and felony murder were first filed against Walker in February 2015.

The jury found him guilty of aggravated burglary, the underlying felony, but not of the murder charge.

Florist, longtime public servant Jim Owens dies at 100

By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @NikkiWentling

Jim Owens, founder of Owens Flower Shop in downtown Lawrence, is said to be the only person to ever serve in all of three key positions: Lawrence’s mayor, president of the Lawrence school board and chairman of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce.

“Not only did he love this city, but he dedicated his life to serving it,” said Joe Flannery, president of Weaver’s department store, who grew up knowing the Owens family. “He was a generous, loving soul who always wanted whatever was best for Lawrence. He contributed whatever he could to make

it a better place.”

Owens died Monday at Pioneer Ridge Assisted Living. He was 100.

Owens, whom Flannery called one of the “true gentlemen” of Lawrence, was born in 1915 in Richland, a town in southeastern Shawnee County.

He was in Salina during the Great Depression and landed in Lawrence for good in 1946, after returning from military service.

That year, he and his wife, Laura, purchased the flower shop, then named Ward’s Flowers.

He bought it on somewhat of a whim for $50,000, with the previous owner predicting he wouldn’t last in the business two months.

Owens and his wife operated the shop for 35 years.

PHOEBE AND PHIL GODWIN, LEFT, VISIT WITH JIM OWENS after his induction into the Lawrence Business Hall of Fame May 5, 2011, at the Kansas Union Ballroom. Owens died Monday at age 100.

They sold it in 1974, and it remains in business today, still bearing the “Owens Flower Shop” name.

In a speech Owens gave

upon receiving an induction into the Lawrence Business Hall of Fame in 2011, he told one of his favorite stories from being a

florist: traveling to Washington, D.C., during the Gerald Ford administration to help decorate the White House with flowers.

Years after buying the flower shop, Owens decided he could contribute something else to the city.

Owens ran for the City Commission and served as the mayor of Lawrence in 1964 and 1965. Around that time, he also took up the post of chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, and he was elected as school board president.

In a 2011 interview with the Journal-World, Owens said he “just enjoyed it all.”

“It took a lot of time, and my wife would say, ‘Aren’t you going to be home this evening?’ I would say, ‘No, there’s another meeting.’”

Owens said at the time.

“But, it was all worthwhile — very worthwhile.”

Owens was commonly known in Lawrence as a florist and a dedicated public servant, but he described himself, above all else, as an optimist.

“I’m an optimist,” he said in a 2013 interview.

“And that has served me pretty well in life.”

Laura Owens died in 2004 at age 89. The couple had three children, Laura, Martin and Justine.

A memorial celebration is pending and will be announced by Rumsey-Yost Funeral Home.

changes in a law passed last year that will impose a new property tax lid on cities and counties.

Both the House and Senate tax committees are holding hearings this week on competing bills that would revisit the tax lid that lawmakers passed last year near the end of the 2015 session as part of a broader tax bill aimed at balancing the state budget.

Under that new law, beginning in 2018, cities and counties would have to get voter approval before they could increase their property tax revenues by more than the rate of inflation.

The Senate is now considering a bill, which Lawrence opposes, that would move up the effective date of that law to July 1 of this year, which would effectively block cities and counties from raising taxes in their upcoming budget cycle because there would hardly be enough time to schedule such an election.

Trial CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

In December 2015 Walker was tried again, facing a single charge of felony murder. The jury in that second case failed to reach a decision.

Robinson, on the other hand, was found guilty in March 2015 of both aggravated burglary and first-degree murder in Roberts’ death. He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for 20 years.

On Wednesday, the second full day of testimony in Walker’s third trial, Roberts’ mother, Lawrence Police officers and others testified alongside Morrison.

Roberts’ mother and roommate, Marilyn Howard, said she knew her son smoked marijuana but not that he sold the drug. She said she discussed her disapproval of drug use with him before.

“I told him I didn’t like it because it was illegal,” she told jurors.

Howard said she recalled going to sleep shortly before 3 a.m. on March 8, 2014, only to be awakened by a shout from her youngest son, Wayne Roberts, who was also living in the duplex.

sure of the gun range Feb. 17, deeming it in violation of the federal Gun Free School Zones Act. The law was enacted in 1990 and prohibits anyone from possessing a firearm on public property within 1,000 feet of a school.

The Community Building is located within 1,000 feet from St. John’s School, 1208 Kentucky St. Questions about the legality of the range’s presence in City Hall arose in January, when the City Commission was considering a Lawrence businessman’s request for a private shooting range off 31st Street.

“To be real with you, I think everybody in this room knew what our contract says, and that is if the city doesn’t want us here, they could drop our contract at any time for any reason,” said Brent Edmonds, the vice president of the club and the son of another longtime member.

The club leased the space from the city for $1 per year.

“But we also assumed the city had no reason they would want the range to close,” said Nathan Oshel,

— Sen. Tom Holland, D-Baldwin City The city said it opposes that bill, and the tax lid generally, in part because it ties revenue increases to the urban consumer price index, or CPI, which is generally thought of as the inflation rate.

But Lawrence said the CPI measures the cost of a basket of goods and services, like food and housing, that are consumed by households, and it does not reflect the cost of things municipal governments typically buy, such as sand and gravel, water and sewer pipes, fire trucks and playground equipment.

But the city is supporting an alternative bill in the House that would leave the 2018 effective date in place and allow cities and counties to use their home rule authority to exempt themselves from it.

It would also change the election requirement to pro-

He was telling her to call the police.

As she left her bedroom Howard said she saw Wayne Roberts on the ground with someone she didn’t recognize.

On Tuesday Wayne Roberts testified that he was wrestling with a man armed with a handgun, previously identified as Walker, when he called for his mother.

Howard said at the time she could also see Roberts, who was injured.

“I could see him sitting on the floor ... kind of just leaning over,” she said.

“I heard Pat say ‘he has a gun’ and ‘I’ve been shot.’”

Howard said she quickly turned around, heading back into her room to fetch her phone when she heard a gunshot.

Wayne Roberts said Tuesday that after that shot Walker dropped the handgun and ran out of the duplex with Robinson. Police arrived on the scene shortly afterward.

Both Walker and Robinson were arrested in the area that morning, officers testified; both had blood on their pants, but no stolen cash or drugs on them.

After Howard testified, the prosecution called Lawrence Police Detective Zach Thomas to the stand. He told jurors his investigation led him to

vide that at least 10 percent of the registered voters in a city or county would have to sign a petition in order to force a public vote on a proposed tax increase.

And it would use something called the municipal cost index, instead of the consumer price index, as the standard for limiting property tax increases.

“The city of Lawrence believes strongly that local spending and taxing decisions should be left to local officials representing the citizens that enacted them,” the city said in written testimony to both committees.

Last year’s amendment was introduced by Sen. Jacob LaTurner, R-Pittsburg, with strong backing of the Kansas Association of Realtors. LaTurner said at the time that some of his constituents had asked for state action after their local governments had

believe two shots had, in fact, been fired at the scene. One shot hit Roberts in the abdomen, and a second struck the duplex’s ceiling.

Thomas also said, considering damage to the duplex’s front door and possible foot impressions, that he believed the door had been forced open.

“All those collectively, looking at the door, led me to believe it had been breached,” he said.

However, when defense attorney Glover asked if Thomas could definitively say when the door was damaged, Thomas said he could not.

When questioned further by Glover, Thomas also said the door frame, rather than the door itself, was not damaged in any way that might indicate a break-in.

Thomas also told jurors he found marijuana — a larger amount than would typically be expected for personal use — and $405 in cash in Roberts’ room.

Walker’s trial is set to continue at 9 a.m. today.

He remains an inmate at the Douglas County Jail in lieu of $1 million cash or surety bond.

However, whenever a driver lets a bill add up to $100 or more, the Turnpike Authority would notify the county treasurer in the county where that vehicle is registered, and the owner would not be allowed to renew a vehicle registration until the bill were paid.

approved mill levy increases.

The city of Lawrence has increased its property tax rate in recent years as well, but the city said that was largely in response to actions by the state.

It noted, for example, that since 2003 the state has stopped funding aid to local government through the Local Ad Valorem Tax Reduction program, a form of revenue sharing that sent state sales tax money back to cities and counties to hold down their local property taxes. That would have amounted to more than $1.2 million for Lawrence this year, the city said.

Since 2003, the city’s property tax rate has risen 12 percent, to 31.488 mills. That translates to about $543 a year in property tax on a home valued at $150,000.

The city also pointed to a 2006 law that effectively phased out property taxes on machinery and equipment used in manufacturing, a law that took two-thirds of the personal property value in Lawrence off the tax rolls.

“Our local elected officials are faced with trying to fund a number of community priorities, including addressing a

space, though, it must hire an air-quality study. It was directed to by City Hall, Laurent said.

Rick Sells, the man planning to open a new firing range in Lawrence, told the City Commission on Jan. 12 that he had doubts the Community Building range met EPA standards for filtering lead particles from the air.

Club members have described the range’s air filtration system as “sophisticated,” but Laurent said the city wants to do a study before opening up the space.

“I will say that the range guys, I don’t believe, have ever done an air study,” Laurent said. “We want to make sure it’s safe before we put something in there.”

Laurent said it’s likely the study will be done in the next couple of weeks.

Range’s history While they were evaluating the options for their future, members of the Douglas County Rifle and Pistol Club attempted to piece together their history Sunday while picking through a small cardboard box marked “records.”

The club was officially established as a nonprofit in 1993, but it existed in a looser form much earlier — at least since the early

need for affordable housing for our residents, maintaining adequate facilities and equipment for our operations, providing for public safety, and maintaining public infrastructure,” the city said.

The Senate Assessments and Taxation Committee wrapped up two days of testimony on its bill Wednesday. Chairman Les Donovan, R-Wichita, said afterward that he wanted supporters and opponents of the bill to work out a compromise before his panel would begin working on the bill.

Sen. Tom Holland, of Baldwin City, the ranking Democrat on the panel, said he also believes the Senate bill needs work.

“There are economic development implications to the bill.

There are social service implications of the bill. There’s just a lot to evaluate in trying to understand that trade-off,” he said.

The House committee held its first day of testimony Wednesday, hearing from supporters of that bill. It will hear from opponents today.

authorize those mechanisms at the three highest-volume toll points on the turnpike: the east terminal outside of Kansas City; the southern terminal at the Oklahoma border; and the East Topeka terminal where Interstate 70 connects to the turnpike.

Turnpike officials argued that it would address an important safety issue. Whenever someone inadvertently gets in a K-Tag lane but doesn’t have a K-Tag transponder, traffic becomes tied up in that lane and toll booth workers have to walk across lanes of traffic to collect the toll or take down the driver’s license information.

Some opponents,

however, argued that it would be too difficult to enforce on out-of-state motorists, and it would penalize the owners of vehicles even if they weren’t the ones driving through a turnpike gate without paying.

Johnson County Treasurer Thomas Franzen also had contacted lawmakers urging them to oppose the bill, arguing that it would put too much burden on local treasurer offices and cause longer lines in vehicle registration departments while clerks work with vehicle owners to resolve their bills.

ness “takes away from” the officer’s professional appearance while 4 percent said visible tattoos are a bigger detractor.

Twenty-two percent said both a lack of physical fitness and visible tattoos detract from an officer’s professional appearance, and 21 percent said neither lack of physical fitness nor visible tattoos detracted from an officer’s professional appearance.

Four percent did not answer or have an opinion on officers’ professional appearance.

But people hoping to work for the patrol should avoid risque or potentially offensive tattoos, according to the survey.

Membership roles in the club’s early days were filled mostly with Kansas University professors, current members said.

According to a JournalWorld article from 1940, as well as records provided

by Watkins Museum, the Art Deco structure at 115 W. 11th St. was built that year as a dual Community Building and Kansas National Guard armory. At the time, a fire had just destroyed the National Guard armory in Lawrence, and the city saw a need for a community gathering space.

The rifle range was in the plans for the building from its preliminary stages.

Though it’s unsure when, the National Guard eventually ended its lease for the space, and various groups of civilians have been using it since.

how to use their firearms.

“Our average shooter was brand new,” Edmonds said. “Literally, brand new.

I want to say that was more than 70 percent of our shooters. They had just bought a gun and wanted to know how to use it.”

Tony Holladay, a regular at the range on Friday nights, said that eight months ago “that was me.”

“I was one of those people,” he said. “I bought my first handgun and came down here. They’ve taught me so much — stance, safety — I owe a lot to these guys.”

Oshel taught the Friday night safety course for seven years, training people on how to stand, how to develop their sight, how to load and unload their guns and what to anticipate with recoil.

His most memorable experience came recently, he said, when a visitor came in with his grandfather’s military-issued handgun from World War II. “He brought it down here, and we showed him how to disassemble it and clean it, and I did a safety function test on it,” Oshel said. “He was actually able to fire it down here with ammunition his grandpa had kept since World War II. The look on his face was worth all the years of everything I’d missed on Friday nights coming down here.”

How it ran Prior to Feb. 17, the Douglas County Rifle and Pistol Club operated four nights per week and some Saturdays. Members shot for 50 cents per night, and visitors paid $5.

Everyone who used the firing range was required to go through a Fridaynight safety orientation.

Koch said that, while the club had upwards of 200 members, it also trained another 500 per year on

ABOUT 200 PEOPLE PARTICIPATED MARCH 15, 1965, IN A MARCH through downtown Lawrence in support of civil rights struggles in Selma, Ala. The group assembled at St. Luke A.M.E. Church at Ninth and New York streets and then walked down Massachusetts Street to the Douglas County Courthouse for speeches. Rev. C. Garnett Henning, pastor at St. Luke, was coordinator for the march, and speakers included Henning; Michael Maher, assistant professor of zoology at Kansas University; and Jesse Milan, a teacher in Lawrence. Each week, usually on Thursday, the Journal-World runs a photo from its archives, chosen by chief photographer Mike Yoder, that gives a glimpse into Lawrence’s past.

County finalizes justice council

By Elvyn Jones Twitter: @ElvynJ

The Douglas County Commission approved a resolution Wednesday creating the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council and named two of its members.

The coordinating council’s charge is to bring agencies involved in criminal justice together to evaluate programs and operations, collect information, and make recommendations for improvements, particularly those that provide alternatives to incarceration.

Commissioners reached consensus on membership of the coordinating council at their March 2 meeting, and the resolution made small amendments, such as the additions of the director of Douglas County Reentry and a representative of court services as non-voting members.

Membership is to include 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. The county administrator and the Lawrence city manager will join the court services and reentry representatives as non-voting members.

Flory was the first commissioner to name the individual to represent his commission district, the 3rd District, appointing L. Susan Hadl to the coordinating council. The retired Lawrence Police Department sergeant and Justice

Matters mental health committee member would bring the right approach to her appointment, he said.

“My hope is this council is action-oriented, not verbally oriented,” Flory said.

Flory also agreed to be the County Commission’s representative on the body. Flory proposed, however, that neither he nor any future commissioner serve as the coordinating council’s chair so that the body could keep its independence and not be seen as doing the County Commission’s bidding.

Commissioners also passed along a draft of bylaws for the coordinating council to consider.

Those would have the coordinating council meet on a bi-monthly schedule, select the body’s chairman and vice-chair, and determine the level of staff support it will need.

Reality stars go to jail on A&E It might be unfair to call “60 Days In” (9 p.m., A&E, TV-14) a combination of “Big Brother” and “Scared Straight.” But it would be accurate — and more than kind.

Faced with a corrupt, drugand crime-ridden Indiana jail, Sheriff Jamey Noel has a novel idea: Let’s hire seven would-be reality TV stars and turn them into jailhouse spies.

Unbeknownst to the corrections officers, fellow inmates or staff, our “stars” are inserted into the jail population.

Noel has also outfitted the facility with more than a hundred tiny cameras to follow these “volunteers” to see how they fit in with a jail population.

To be fair, these aren’t the usual exhibitionist chuckleheads who populate shows like “Mob Wives,” “The Real Housewives” franchise or the Kardashian-industrial complex.

They appear to be an ardent lot: There’s a schoolteacher, a former Marine and a veteran police officer among them. But “60 Days In” still raises many ethical red flags.

We’re reminded at the beginning of every episode that people in jail on “60 Days In” are innocent until proven guilty in a trial. But they’ve all been sentenced to have their moments of shame (and, for some, mental illness) served up for our “entertainment.”

After all, what script writer could dream of the tale of “El Chapo,” Mexico’s most notorious drug lord, carrying on an affectionate correspondence with ambitious soap star Kate Del Castillo that, in turn, brokered a meeting with Hollywood bad boy-turned-activist actor/director Sean Penn for a remote interview/rendezvous?

Power grab Legislators shouldn’t be allowed to punish state courts for doing their constitutional duty.

P

roposed legislation that would vastly expand the legal grounds for impeaching judges in Kansas is nothing short of an attack on the balance of powers in state government.

SB 439 lists impeachable offenses in such a vague and inclusive way that state legislators would have almost unlimited power to oust Kansas Supreme Court justices who issue rulings with which they disagree and keep replacing justices until they get a court that suits their political agenda.

The impeachment measure being considered by the Senate Judiciary Committee is popular with legislators who are angry with the Kansas Supreme Court because of its rulings on school finance and other matters. One of the bill’s sponsors, Republican Sen. Mitch Holmes, said this week, “I believe the court has a tremendous problem with overreach.” Perhaps the senator doesn’t recognize that his bill represents legislative overreach that threatens the existence of an independent judiciary in the state of Kansas.

The Kansas Constitution provides for the removal of state officials from office if they are impeached and convicted of “treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.” The bill being considered lists treason, bribery and “indictable criminal offenses,” among its grounds for impeachment of members of the Kansas Supreme Court and appointed district judges, but that is just the beginning of the list. Also included are such arbitrary judgments as “exhibiting personal misbehavior or misconduct” or “exhibiting discourteous conduct toward litigants, jurors, witnesses, lawyers or others” in their official business. One basis for impeachment that has drawn particular attention is “attempting to usurp the power of the legislative or executive branch of government.”

As a reminder, the power to impeach and remove state officials from office lies entirely with the Legislature. According to the constitution, the House has “the sole power to impeach.” The Senate tries all impeachment cases and can remove someone from office with a two-thirds majority vote. However unlikely, it certainly would be possible for legislators to use the vague proposed impeachment standards to remove justices based on an arbitrary determination that they had been “discourteous” or engaged in “personal misbehavior.”

Is that what the Legislature has in mind? Sen. Dennis Pyle, another sponsor of the bill, noted this week that impeachment has been “a little-used tool” to challenge judicial rulings. “Maybe it needs to be oiled up a little bit or sharpened a little bit,” he said.

Allowing the Legislature to exert that kind of control over the state’s top court represents a total breakdown in the separation of powers that is at the heart of the democratic system. The state’s courts don’t pose their own challenges to the legislative and executive branches; they respond to the concerns raised by Kansas residents. It’s the courts’ duty to give those residents an avenue to challenge the decisions of the other two branches.

If the Legislature is allowed to stack the Supreme Court with supportive justices, the power of the judiciary to provide a meaningful balance of power will be lost.

The Kansas Supreme Court is charged with interpreting the laws of Kansas. If legislators disagree with the court’s interpretation, they can change the laws, but they shouldn’t be allowed to punish or undermine the powers of the court for simply doing its job.

Ruling affirms rights of gay parents This is how John Ward described killing his first wife.

“I wanted her to give me my divorce and custody of my daughter,” he told Geraldo Rivera. “And she told me she’d see me in hell first.

And I told her to save me a seat. And then I shot her.” “ … I shot her three times in the upper left shoulder,” he said. “She told me not to kill her, she would give me the baby and a divorce.

I fired three times point blank into the heart. … And I reloaded and I shot her six more times, point blank.”

Ward did eight years in prison for second-degree murder. But there is more.

One of his daughters has said that when she was a child, he tried to molest her and other children. A stepdaughter has said that when she was a teenager, “I brought a friend of mine over, a black girl. He was like, ‘Get that damn n---r out of my yard.’”

The point being, that Ward was hardly an exemplary human being.

Yet when a Pensacola judge had to choose between this steaming hot pile of humanity and his estranged second wife in deciding custody of their adolescent daughter, Cassey, the judge sided with him. Given what

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

“

This week, the nation’s highest tribunal figured out what Cassey’s narrowminded dad never could — that ‘lesbian mother’ is just another word for ‘mother.’” a piece of work this guy was, you might wonder: What was it about Mary Ward that was so objectionable a court would choose him over her?

Simple. Mary was gay.

Cassey, said the judge, should grow up in “a nonlesbian world.”

That appalling 1996 ruling is brought to mind by news of a new Supreme Court decision. Monday, the top court unanimously sided with a gay adoptive mother fighting her former partner for access to their children.

The unnamed plaintiff filed

suit after the couple split up and the ex-partner, who is the children’s biological mother, refused to let her see them. The adoption had originally been processed in Georgia, but the Supreme Court of Alabama, where the two women now reside, refused to recognize its legitimacy.

In striking down the lower court ruling, the Supreme Court offers an important affirmation of the parental rights of gay men and women. But even as you laud it, even as you welcome it, your thoughts turn to Mary Ward. And not just to her, but all the other men and women who lost their children because some judge deemed their sexuality more important than their personhood or parental fitness.

Sadly, we’ll never know what Mary’s take on this might have been. She died of a sudden heart attack the year after she lost her child.

It’s hard not to suspect grief played some part in that.

Four years ago, a pair of Miami Beach filmmakers released “Unfit,” a documentary on the case. In writing about the film, The Miami Herald’s Steve Rothaus reported that Cassey ended up bouncing in and out of

her father’s house for a few years before finally moving in for good with her older sister Carla, who is a lesbian.

Cassey herself told filmmakers she regrets being taken from her mom. “I look at my brother and my sisters, and how they’re, you know, doing good and have all their friends and great jobs and homes, and I think if Mom would have got to raise me it would be the same because they had the love and support from Mom. But my dad was country and kind of narrow-minded.”

This week, the nation’s highest tribunal figured out what Cassey’s narrowminded dad never could — that “lesbian mother” is just another word for “mother.”

One is pleased to see it, but one’s pleasure is shadowed by morbid ruminations on the hardiness of ignorance, the intransigence of fear and the way people’s lives get ground to pieces on the gears in between. Twenty years after the fact, Mary Ward finally finds a rough and imperfect vindication.

This is a good thing, yes.

But you know what they say about justice too long delayed.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for March 10, 1916: years “Noble Turner ago was captured by IN 1916 city police officers after a lively automobile chase this forenoon in which the regular police car and the fire chief’s little red car were pressed into service. Turner was lodged in the city jail in answer to a charge of stealing automobile supplies from Harry Dick’s garage. Fritz Meyn saw a man leaving the garage carrying some tires and some other supplies.

Meyn gave chase, and the man dropped what he carried and ran.”

PUBLIC FORUM

Response on T To the editor: We would like to offer a response to the letter “Routes are key to T.” (Public Forum, March 5) The writer claimed that ridership on the T is morbidly low. In fact, Lawrence Transit received the award for the highest ridership increase Kansas for 2015.

People took 1,125,795 trips on the T in 2014. Ridership has tripled since 2008 when there were 387,938 riders.

It currently takes 20 minutes to go from 15th and Haskell to Seventh and Vermont, as opposed to what is stated in the letter that says it takes 53 minutes. There are plans to make this a linear route instead of a circular route in August 2016 which will improve the timing so people can get downtown even faster.

Lawrence Transit has made significant improvements in recent years to routes, timing and user amenities. Each year, we make adjustments and hold meetings to get public input on any changes. We always want to make sure our routes serve the most people possible and get riders where they need to go, whether it is to work, school, shopping, errands or recreation facilities.

There are more than 300 bus stops along the Lawrence Transit routes, and plans are under way to improve amenities. We look forward to working with the public to improve our services, and we are always open to new ideas and suggestions. Please feel free to contact us at info@lawrencetransit. org or call 864-4644.

misinformation and was limited to a single perspective. Two articles stated that we had lines “by 3 p.m., when people were supposed to be in place already.” Actually, lines were scheduled to close at 3, with the caucus starting later. Our Lawrence caucus processed more than 3,500 people in less than three hours, including partial registration of voters, which was a huge feat.

More than 50 community members from all walks of life made our caucus possible and we are extremely grateful for their service. Elected officials, great-grandparents and high school students not yet old enough to be in the official count gave their Saturday afternoon in service to their community.

The crowd was dense, loud and exhilarating. I was infected with the enthusiasm of a blind man anxiously awaiting the opportunity to meet fellow fans of his preferred candidate and humbled as I witnessed a young mother searching for a quiet corner to nurse a tiny baby, a toddler at her side.

If you want to find hope for a better world, it was there among the lines, the cheers, the sweat, the counting of crowds and, yes, even in the grumbling. Hope exists in this imperfect, interactive exercise of grassroots democracy. It assaults the senses for a four-hour time period and unites us in a common goal: to bring our values — those of Democrats — to the White House.

Rude revolution?

To the editor: Yes, Bernie trounced Hillary at the Lawrence caucus on Saturday. And, yes, his supporters outnumbered ours To the editor: four to one; there’s no way to spin The Journal-World’s coverage of the that. But among the record numbers 2016 Democratic Party caucus offered who turned up to show their support

Caucus inspiration

for him, many were discourteous, smug and just plain nasty to those of us out supporting Hillary Clinton.

From teenagers to young adults to college professors, one thing that united his followers — other than feeling the Bern, that is — was an attitude that was stunningly self-righteous and, in some cases, outright disrespectful.

I worked the line for HRC, handing out stickers and generally chatting up my candidate. More often than I could believe, the offer of a sticker was met with a derisive snort, a contemptuous eye roll or a Trumpian sneer. From a high school student who would not even let her mother talk to me to a college professor I work with who flashed me a face of total contempt while brushing past me so brusquely that he almost knocked me over, Bernie’s Lawrence constituency brimmed with bad manners. One young woman even said “F*ck no!” when I offered her a sticker. Really? The person she was with told me “she’s young” as if that were an excuse.

While it’s true that a couple of supporters conceded that, yes, it was possible to be for one candidate without verbally or physiognomically abusing the other and that, yes, we were all Democrats together, the overall attitude of the Sanders contingent was combative and deplorable. It seems that they’re confusing rudeness with revolution.

Pentagon deployed spy drones over U.S. Spy flights legal, but ACLU says law may need revision Gregg Zoroya USA TODAY

The Pentagon has deployed drones to spy over U.S. territory for non-military missions over the past decade, but the flights have been rare and lawful, according to a new report.

The report by a Pentagon in-

spector general, made public under a Freedom of Information Act request, said spy drones on non-military missions have occurred fewer than 20 times from 2006 to 2015 and always in compliance with law.

The report, which did not provide details on any of the domestic spying missions, said the Pentagon takes the issue of military drones used on American soil “very seriously.”

The Pentagon has publicly posted at least a partial list of the drone missions that have flown in non-military airspace over the

USA and explains the use of the aircraft. The site lists nine missions flown from 2011 to 2016, largely to assist with search-andrescue, floods, fires or National Guard exercises.

A senior policy analyst for the American Civil Liberties Union, Jay Stanley, said it is good news no legal violations were found, yet the technology is so advanced that it’s possible laws may require revision. “Sometimes, new technology changes so rapidly that existing law no longer fits what people think is appropriate,” Stanley said. “It’s important to re-

member that the American people do find this to be a very, very sensitive topic.”

Other federal agencies own and operate drones. The use of unmanned aerial surveillance (UAS) drones over the USA surfaced in 2013 when then-FBI director Robert Mueller testified before Congress that the bureau employed spy drones to aid investigations but in a “very, very minimal way, very seldom.”

The inspector general analysis was completed March 20, 2015, but not released publicly until last Friday. The report said that as

drone technology advanced and its military use expanded overseas, the Pentagon established interim guidance in 2006 governing when and whether the aircraft could be used domestically. The interim policy allowed spy drones to be used for homeland defense purposes in the USA and to assist civil authorities.

The policy said use of military drones for civil authorities had to be approved by the secretary of Defense or someone delegated by the secretary. The report found Defense secretaries have never delegated that responsibility.

Detainee says ISIL planned gas attack

IRAN MISSILE BEARS THREAT TO ISRAEL Iran test-fired two ballistic missiles, one with the phrase ‘Israel should be wiped off the Earth’ written on it, Iranian news media reported Wednesday. IN NEWS

Tom Vanden Brook USA TODAY

An Islamic State operative captured in Iraq told U.S. officials that the terrorist group had plans to use mustard gas against American allies fighting the jihadists, Defense officials said Wednesday.

The fighter, who was detained

by U.S. special operations forces last month, was thought to be a chemical weapons specialist, according to the officials. The weapons were slated to be used against Kurdish forces and other U.S. allies.

The chemical weapons specialist was caught by an “expeditionary” force of U.S. commandos sent to Iraq to conduct raids on the Islamic State, also known as ISIL or ISIS, to capture or kill key leaders and free hostages.

The detainee has helped American and allied forces learn about the Islamic State’s response to pressure from the U.S.-led bombing campaign and offensives on the ground from Iraqi and Kurdish forces, the officials said.

U.S. and allied warplanes have pounded Islamic State targets in Iraq and Syria since 2014.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest, citing “operational security issues,” declined to comment on the reports.

The Pentagon announced Tuesday that an airstrike Friday near Shaddadi, Syria, targeted and probably killed a senior Islamic State military leader, Tarkhan Tayumurazovich Batirashvili, known as “Omar the Chechen.”

The Syrian-based Georgian held top positions within the militant group, said Peter Cook, a Pentagon spokesman.

Batirashvili had been sent to the Syrian town to bolster Islamic State forces after the extremists had been dealt a series of defeats, Cook said. His loss deprives the Islamic State of a seasoned leader who had been a key recruiter of foreign fighters, he said.

Another Hitler? How world leaders see Donald Trump Campaign prompts unusual reactions from abroad

Oren Dorell and Jessica Durando USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Foreign politicians are responding to Donald Trump’s unvarnished world views with equally undiplomatic candor.

Three detractors — all current or former Mexican leaders — compared him to Adolf Hitler.

Russian President Vladimir Putin and far right-wing politicians in Europe have praised the Republican presidential frontrunner for his blunt style, forceful personality and anti-immigration views.

Such reactions from world leaders are unprecedented, said historian James Thurber, who studies U.S. presidents at American University in Washington.

“I cannot recall a time when anyone spoke out during the presidential election, and especially in the primary election,” Thurber said. “This has to do with outrageous statements (Trump’s) made relevant to the war in Syria, Muslims, Spanishspeaking countries, immiv STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

United to pack passengers 10-abreast on some 777s Economy cabin will get tech upgrades Ben Mutzabaugh USA TODAY

United Airlines plans to retrofit 19 of its 74 Boeing 777 widebodies into a high-density domestic configuration that will include 10-abreast seating in economy, the carrier confirmed.

United will apply the change to nine of its Boeing 777s that are used for domestic flights, mostly to and from Hawaii. The other 10

United Airlines will retrofit 19 of its 74 Boeing 777s.

Boeing 777s to be retrofitted will be shifted from United’s longhaul international flights, a move that comes as the carrier’s new Boeing 787 “Dreamliners” pick up more of those routes.

UNITED AIRLINES

United’s move to 10-across seating in the coach cabin of its 777s echoes a broader industry trend on the popular widebody.

Boeing says airlines ordering the aircraft requested 10-across seat-

ing on about half of the 777s delivered last year. That’s up from about 30% in 2008, according to the U.S. jetmaker.

Among U.S. carriers, American already flies some of its 777s with a 10-abreast layout in coach.

Emirates, All Nippon Airways, Air New Zealand, KLM and Air France are among global carriers flying at least some of their 777s with 10 across in coach, a configuration that allows them to add more revenue-producing seats to the jet.

As for United, the update to its 19 Boeing 777s — to begin in May — will increase capacity to 364

seats. That will be a 20-seat increase over the comparable domestic-configured 777s that United uses on domestic routes from Hawaii.

The economy cabin in the reconfigured domestic 777s will see some upgrades.

United will install in-seat power outlets throughout the cabin, including in coach.

The 777s will be Wi-Fi-enabled, allowing fliers to stream entertainment options to their personal devices. United will install two mobile device holders — one for tablets and one for phones — at each economy seat.

Clinton, Sanders duel for Hispanic vote

Front-runner shrugs off Michigan loss Nicole Gaudiano USA TODAY

Former secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders sparred over which one had the more progressive immigration policies Wednesday during a Florida debate hosted by the Spanish-language network Univision and The Washington Post.

Clinton and Sanders squared off in Florida before a mostly Latino audience during their eighth Democratic presidential debate tonight.

At the start of the debate, both candidates said they support comprehensive immigration reform including a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants.

Moderator Jorge Ramos pressed Clinton early in the eve-

CRAIG RUBADOUX, USA TODAY

Democrats Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton debated Wednesday in Florida before a largely Latino audience. ning on the scandal that has dogged her campaign: her use of a personal email account to conduct official business as secretary of State. Ramos asked whether she would drop out of

the race if she were indicted for mishandling classified information. “That is not going to happen,” she said. “I am not even answering that question.”

The debate at Miami Dade

College, followed Sanders’ surprise upset Tuesday night in the Michigan primary, giving him a surge of momentum just as Clinton began to look ahead to the general election.

“It was a very close race,” Clinton said when asked about the loss. “I’ve won some, I’ve lost some.” She called the night a success because she trounced him in the Mississippi primary.

She said she received “100,000 more votes and more delegates” overall than Sanders.

Sanders and Clinton got into a tight back-and-forth over various past positions on immigration.

Clinton said the country’s best chance for comprehensive immigration reform was a bill that she supported and Sanders opposed in 2007.

“Imagine how much more secure families would be in our country,” she said.

That year, Sanders complained that allowing millions of undocumented immigrants into

the country would drive down wages in the country, but he now says he opposed the bill because it lacked protections for guest workers.

He said he worked to improve guest worker protections in legislation he supported in 2013.

That bill passed the Senate but did not get a House vote.

He also said that Clinton had worked with New York officials to prevent the state from issuing drivers licenses for undocumented immigrants, while Vermont allowed them to get licenses.

Clinton addressed concerns about her trustworthiness, saying it’s “painful” for her to hear that people distrust her.

“I am not a natural politician … like my husband or President Obama,” she said.

Sanders called again for Clinton to release transcripts of her paid Wall Street speeches, saying they would show whether she takes different positions in private than she does in public.

GOP DONORS SCRAMBLE TO COPE WITH TRUMP SWEEP Backers hop from failed campaign to failed campaign in hope of viable alternative

Fredreka Schouten USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Republican fundraiser Bobbie Kilberg has had a knack for backing GOP presidential winners. Or so she thought.

She and her husband were early financial backers of George W. Bush in 2000, John McCain in 2008 and Mitt Romney in 2012, helping raise a combined $7.1 million for the men who went on to secure their party’s nomination.

This year, Kilberg has joined the ranks of the GOP’s serial supporters — the well-connected fundraisers, donors and Republican Party operatives — who have hopscotched from failed candidate to failed candidate, hoping to make a difference in a contest spiraling out of their control.

“I have always thought I had pretty good political instincts,” said Kilberg, who first supported New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s short-lived campaign, then former Florida governor Jeb Bush’s unsuccessful bid and has moved on to Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who lags in the delegate race.

“This year, it’s pretty obvious that I have no instincts at all.”

The rollicking GOP presidential primary, initially crowded with 17 candidates but long dominated by the blunt-talking billionaire Donald Trump, defies all political conventions. Trump, a real estate developer and reality TV star who has never held political office, handily won the Michigan and Mississippi primaries and the Hawaii caucuses Tues-

day, despite increasing resistance to his campaign from some of the party’s leaders.

Last week, Romney delivered an impassioned speech, labeling Trump a “fraud” and imploring Republicans to find a way to deny him the 1,237 delegates he needs to secure the nomination. A coalition of conservative groups, led by a pro-Rubio super PAC, pummels the real estate developer on the airwaves in a last-ditch effort to derail him before crucial winner-take-all contests next week in Florida and Ohio.

Stanley Hubbard, a billionaire broadcasting magnate who lives in Minnesota, recently donated $10,000 to Our Principles PAC, one of the super PACs bombarding Florida with anti-Trump attack ads. He’s written checks to the failed candidacies of Bush, Christie, Carly Fiorina, Ben Carson and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker. “They’ve all fallen by the wayside. Boom. Boom. Boom,” said Hubbard, who now backs Ohio Gov. John Kasich.

This year’s primary battle “shakes your thinking and your confidence at core levels,” said Texas political strategist Ray Sullivan, a former top aide to another onetime Republican con-

“Don’t talk about your body parts at a debate. Try to be presidential. ... All those things are out the window.”

tender, former Texas governor Rick Perry.

Sullivan co-chaired a super PAC supporting Perry’s presidential bid before volunteering to help Bush’s campaign. Bush dropped out last month, despite raising more than $150 million for his campaign and super PAC. Sullivan, referring to Trump’s recent debate reference to his male anatomy, said he can’t let his children, who are 9 and 10, watch the televised showdowns.

“All the traditional rules seem inoperable,” Sullivan said. “Spend money. Don’t talk about your body parts at a debate. Try to be presidential. Have detailed policy positions. Make sure you can defend your record. All those things are out the window.”

David Wilkins, a top GOP fundraiser in South Carolina who served as U.S. ambassador to Canada in George W. Bush’s admini-

stration, backed the presidential candidacy of his home state senator, Lindsey Graham, before supporting Jeb Bush. Trump, he said, “has successfully hit a nerve that perhaps many of us didn’t see.”

“There is a real anger and frustration among voters,” Wilkins said, “and I think you see it on both sides; otherwise, why would Bernie Sanders be pushing Secretary Clinton as hard as he is?”

Wilkins is sitting on the sidelines, as is hedge fund manager Anthony Scaramucci, who served as national finance co-chairman of Walker’s unsuccessful campaign before joining Bush’s ill-fated bid.

“I’m 0 for 2,” Scaramucci said.

“I don’t want to go 0 for 3.”

Scaramucci said he will support the party’s eventual nominee, even if voters pick Trump.

“People have said, you know what? My life is like The Apprentice,” Scaramucci said, referring to the long-running NBC show that featured Trump firing people at the end of each episode.

Scaramucci said voters, weary of stagnant wages and worried about the national debt, are telling Washington this year, “You’re fired. I’d like you leave the boardroom because you have failed the nation.”

Candidate Donald Trump has alienated some Republicans.

grants and trade. ... He’s really alienated a lot of people.”

Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto delivered one of the harshest rebukes Monday, telling the Excelsior newspaper that Trump’s “strident tone” is reminiscent of dictators Benito Mussolini and Hitler, populists who rode a tide of economic discontent to power.

“There have been episodes in the history of humanity, unfortunately, where these expressions, this strident rhetoric has only really been (a) very fateful stage in the history of mankind,” he said.

Peña and other Mexican politicians are furious over Trump’s vow to build a wall to keep Mexican migrants out of the USA — and make Mexico pay for it. “I’m not going to pay for that (expletive) wall,” former Mexican president Vicente Fox told Fusion’s Jorge Ramos last month. Fox and another former president, Felipe Calderón, also compared Trump to Hitler.

Clearly, the possibility of a Trump presidency has provoked “a feeling of desperation” in Mexico, said Bill Richardson, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.

It’s not just Mexico worried about the prospect of a Trump presidency, said Richardson, former governor of New Mexico and former candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Trump’s promise to “Make America Great Again” represents an isolationist policy that reflects the frustration of many American voters, but it is a viewpoint that worries world leaders, Richardson told USA TODAY.

“The world laments that because, despite our faults, the world wants us to lead,” Richardson said.

Negative reactions to Trump have come from some of the United States’ most stalwart allies, including Canada, Ireland, Brit-

ain, France, Germany, Turkey, Israel and Saudi Arabia.

The unpredictable and candid things Trump says drive his popularity with voters but concern foreign leaders, who want to know where the United States stands on issues that affect them, Thurber said.

Sixty-five percent of Canadians said they feared a Trump presidency, according to a survey in February by Canadian polling firm Leger.

Thurber said he thinks Trump will moderate his positions if he gets into office, but “it’s going to be difficult to work with leaders who’ve openly criticized him.” Still, “we’re the United States of America, the wealthiest and most powerful nation in the world, so they’ll have to deal with him.”

Presidential historian Jeffrey Tulis at the University of Texas said some world leaders expressed concern about Ronald Reagan’s competence when he ran against President Carter in 1980. The criticism was not as withering as that directed at Trump. World leaders are coming to grips with the possibility of a president who sounds like “an autocrat from a tinpot country,” Tulis said.

World leaders should butt out of American politics, said Danielle Pletka, a Republican and foreign policy analyst at the American Enterprise Institute.

“It’s none of their bloody business,” said Pletka, who rejects Trump’s worldview.

“This is our election, not theirs.”

Army misled Congress on $725M program Troubled ‘Human Terrain System’ declared dead in 2014 is alive and would even expand Tom Vanden Brook USA TODAY

The Army misled Congress and taxpayers when it said it had killed in 2014 a program that embedded social scientists with combat units, according to a congressman, a Defense official and Army documents.

Last year, the Army said it had terminated the controversial battlefield anthropology program, known as the Human Terrain System, which had been plagued by documented time sheet fraud, racism and sexual harassment. It is not clear why the Army said the program was dead, according to a Defense Department official who spoke on condition of anonymity because officials were not authorized to speak publicly about the program.

Not only is the Human Terrain System alive, the official said, but WASHINGTON

the Army could expand it if more money becomes available.

Its continued existence and potential expansion outraged Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., a member of the Armed Services Committee.

“It’s absolutely astonishing that the Army wants to convince itself that it never killed HTS after it was publicly acknowledged that the program was done,” Hunter said. “Even if true, that the program was never killed, the Army was happy with members of Congress and the scientific community thinking and believing it was killed. The Army is evidently OK with taking people for fools.”

The Human Terrain System remains a program of record, which means it is designated to receive funding for years, the official said.

Its current budget is about $1.2 million per year and employs two Army officers, two civilian employees and five contractors.

The program has spent more than $725 million since 2007, according to budget documents.

Peak spending came in 2010 when the Army doled out $159 million as it expanded the effort during the height of the counterinsurgency wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

A USA TODAY investigation of

the program found multiple problems. Many commanders scoffed at the reports from the teams and often relegated them to bases.

Some were paid $280,000 annually for work that investigators suspected had never been done. A 2010 Army investigation concluded that the program had been

“fraught with waste, fraud and abuse.”

In light of the problems found in 2010, the Army fired personnel found to have been harassing trainees. Last year, then-Army secretary John McHugh praised the program for providing information that was “actionable and useful for decision-making.”

However, the Army also announced in 2015 that the Human Terrain System had been terminated in 2014 as there “was no longer a requirement for HTS teams in theater.”

But documents obtained by USA TODAY show that Army officials had simply changed the program’s emphasis from deploying social scientists with troops to providing information to commanders from a group of experts based at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. They also began referring to the program as the Global Cultural Knowledge Network.

The Global Cultural Knowledge Network, the Defense official, is not a replacement for the Human Terrain System but a part of it.

News reports say Iran test-fired missiles Biden speaks out about weapons marked for Israel Jane Onyanga-Omara USA TODAY

Iran test-fired two ballistic missiles, one of them with the phrase “Israel should be wiped off the Earth” written on it in Hebrew, Iranian news media reported Wednesday.

The country’s semiofficial Fars news agency said the missiles were fired at a target 870 miles away.

It came the day after Iran’s Revolutionary Guard said it testfired several ballistic missiles as part of a military exercise.

The official IRNA news agency said the aim was to show the Islamic Republic’s “deterrent power” and “all-out readiness to counter any threat.”

Vice President Biden, speaking Wednesday at a news conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem, said if Iran breaks the terms of last year’s nuclear deal it reached with world powers, “we will act.”

“A nuclear-armed Iran is an absolutely unacceptable threat to Israel, to the region and the United States. If in fact they break the deal, we will act,” he said.

Biden also criticized Palestinians for their “failure to condemn” stabbing attacks that claimed the life of an American Vanderbilt University graduate student and wounded others in Israel on Tuesday.

response” if confirmed, Reuters reported. “We also continue to aggressively apply our unilateral tools to counter threats from Iran’s missile program,” he added.

U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric said Tuesday that the U.N. was looking into the reports. “It’s important that Iran live up to its

obligations under the (nuclear) deal,” he said.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard commander, Maj. Gen. Mohammad Ali Jafa, said Tuesday, “The security of Iran is the security of the region, and we will do our utmost to ensure our country’s security,” Fars reported.

He added, “It is the enemies of the Islamic Revolution and regional security that should be afraid of the missiles.”

Many international economic sanctions on Iran were lifted Jan. 16 after a landmark deal with the United States and five other world powers in July to curb Iran’s nuclear program in return for an end to sanctions.

The U.S implemented the sanctions related to the missile program the following day.

individual stocks in this bull market is downright impressive. Apple holds the top spot, having added $486 billion to investor wealth since the bull started seven years ago, or 4% of the roughly $11.3 trillion in wealth created by companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500. Shares of Apple jumped 751% during the period, which is remarkable given that the company was already valued at $74 billion back in March 2009.

The runaway popularity of Apple’s smartphone turned it into a constant winner during the bull.

The company’s revenue has jumped 448% from 2009 to end

2015 at $235 billion.

Stocks that got hammered during the financial crisis were also set up to profit handsomely for investors. Banks Wells Fargo (WFC) and JP Morgan Chase (JPM) — and also General Electric (GE), which was heavily dependent on its financial unit in 2009 — were hit hard during the financial crisis. That means they were primed to perform — and generate lots of wealth for investors — once the crisis eased, Smith says.

These stocks “were overly beaten up by the end of the bear market and experienced big bounces to more normalized levels,” Smith says. General Electric’s stock had dropped to $7.41 in March 2009 but has soared 305.7% since to $30.07.

Blistering growth in the business doesn’t hurt, either. Alphabet and online retailer Amazon (AMZN) has seen its revenue soar 217% and 337% from 2009 to 2015, respectively. That massive upswing in business isn’t missed on investors. Alphabet has generated $406 billion since the market bull started due to a 397% jump in its stock.

From now on, all towels made for Marriott International’s nearly 3,000 hotels in the USA will be made in the USA. Thursday, Marriott will announce that it will have only “Made in the USA” towels and bath mats in every guest bathroom.

The Bethesda, Md.-based hos-

Every bathroom will have “Made in the USA” towels.

pitality giant has partnered with Standard Textile, which has factories in Thomaston, Ga., and Union, S.C., to produce the towels and bath mats with 100% cotton

fiber grown in the USA. Previously, Marriott’s terry cloths were made in Jordan.

All its brands from the Courtyard Marriott to the Ritz-Carlton will participate in the new program.

“The fact that these items can be made in the USA like they were 20 years or so ago I think makes more sense today than ever because the customer is very much more attuned into looking at an item to see if this is made far, far away,” says John Adams, Marriott’s senior vice president of global operations.

The move comes as “Made in America” has become a touch

point in the U.S. presidential campaign. Candidates for both parties have campaigned against outsourcing manufacturing to other countries in order to produce more jobs domestically. Republican front-runner Donald Trump, also a hotelier with his Trump Hotel Collection, has come under fire for manufacturing branded products in China.

“On the face of it, this seems rather clever,” says Carl Winston, director of the Payne School of Hospitality at San Diego State University. “I doubt it’s going to be much of an increase in supply costs. They’re tapping into the public sentiment.”

Amazon’s air freight service ready for takeoff Elizabeth Weise USA TODAY

In a long-awaited and much-rumored move, Amazon is now officially going into the air freight business with the announcement that the Seattle online retailer has signed a five- to seven-year lease for 20 cargo planes.

As Amazon has grown, and especially as it has built out its lucrative Prime business, taking control of its logistics chain has been seen as key to cost cutting and on-time delivery.

“These planes provide critical capacity expansion to support the growth of Prime in the U.S. Planes provide an additional dedSAN FRANCISCO

icated transportation method connecting Earth’s largest selection to customers from coast to coast. At our scale, supporting growth requires adding some of our own logistics capabilities,” spokeswoman Kelly Cheeseman said.

Air Transport Services Group (ATSG) of Wilmington, Ohio, announced Wednesday that it had signed an agreement to operate an air cargo network of 20 Boeing 767 freighter aircraft for Amazon Fulfillment Services in the U.S. “Since last summer, we have been working closely with Amazon to demonstrate that a dedicated, fully customized air cargo network can be a strong supplement to existing transportation and distribution resources,” Joe

ATSG will lease 20 Boeing 767 freighter aircraft to Amazon Fulfillment Services, an affiliate of Amazon. The lease is for five to

seven years.

The Ohio company will also fly the aircraft and be responsible for gate and logistics services.

There have been rumors that Amazon planned to launch its

own air freight-delivery service for months. The move will aid Amazon (AMZN) in its quest to control more of its logistics chain.

It is part of what appears to be a broader plan by the company to build out its own delivery system worldwide.

“Amazon is tired of having its hands tied and relying on other carriers to move its massive amount of volume. As a result of this announcement, now Amazon is bringing more of its logistics inhouse from supplier to fulfillment to delivery. Will we next see changes in how Amazon manages its final mile delivery?” said John Haber, CEO of Spend Management Experts, an Atlanta-based supply-chain management consulting firm.

Wall Street’s eyes will be on Frankfurt, Germany, on Thursday. The reason: the European Central Bank is meeting, and Wall Street is hoping it delivers on its promises to inject fresh stimulus into the ailing eurozone economy and spark a much-needed rise in dangerously low inflation.

“The ECB is widely expected to announce additional easing Thursday morning as inflation fell back into negative territory in February,” Mary Catherine Sinclair of Strategas Research Partners told clients in a report.

The ECB disappointed investors at its last meeting, when it didn’t deliver quite the dose of stimulus Wall Street was hoping

3 ways to ease the stress, strain of investing Q: Can investing be less scary?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Investors scored $16 trillion in wealth since the bull market started seven years ago. But making that money hasn’t been easy.

Pullbacks and corrections routinely test the patience of investors and can make it a scary experience. The most recent pain investors had to deal with on the way to $16 trillion was a 15% drop from its high to its intraday low on Feb. 11, 2016. Even now, roughly 200 companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 are down 20% or more from their highs since 2015.

Investors might be tempted to skip investing thinking it’s just too painful. But there are sound strategies that can help investors enjoy the gains, with less pain.

Diversification is an overused strategy, but it works. By owning pieces of hundreds of stocks, you can boost the odds that you own some of the stocks that have rallied most, not just the ones still stuck in a bear market.

Being patient helps, too. Short-term moves in the market are unpredictable.

But investors who stay invested for years can avoid the temptation to panic sell.

Above all, having an appropriate portfolio is critical. Few investors should be 100% exposed to stocks. Adding in bonds and an emergency fund help you keep your head so you can get your piece of the $16 trillion.

Investors hungrily sink teeth into these 9 food stocks this year, according to a USA TODAY analysis of data from S&P Global Market Intelligence.

That’s an impressive showing compared with the 1.8% decline by the entire S&P 1500.

It’s not just a few lucky food stocks, either. The 68 stocks in these food categories of the S&P 1500 have gained an average of 4.4% this year, and nearly twothirds of the stocks are up during this challenged year for the rest of the market. Investors are even willing to pay up for food stocks, as the average price-to-earnings ratio on companies has risen to nearly 27, which is 11% higher

than the trailing P-E on the entire S&P 1500 measured the same way.

Food stocks are gaining appeal with investors because they have many attributes that make them appealing, even if the economy’s growth softens, says Christopher Growe, investment analyst at Stifel. For instance, these companies are “defensive,” meaning consumers must buy food no matter if the economy slows down or not. Three quarters of the stocks also pay dividends — averaging 2.3%.

“These factors all come together to support the premium multi-

ple for the group,” Growe says.

Campbell Soup may be best known for its iconic soup cans.

But for investors, the gains are delicious. Shares are up 19% this year and nearly 40% over the past 12 months, which makes the S&P 500’s losses during those same periods look even worse. The company continues to look for more products to appeal to younger consumers. Revenue is expected to fall about 1% to $8 billion this year but resume growth in 2017, according to analysts polled by S&P Global. Adjusted profit, however, is expected to jump 20% in 2016.

IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY WHO’S CELEBRATING TODAY?

Since four lads from Liverpool changed the world more than 50 years ago, more than one man has claimed the title of “fifth Beatle.” But for those whose opinions matter, there was only one candidate: George Martin, who died Tuesday at age 90. The elegant Englishman who produced so much of the groundbreaking band’s catalog was as central in shaping the music and ensuring its endurance as any other person.

Paul McCartney said so himself of Martin, who gave The Beatles their first recording contract, in a detailed, moving statement that included a memory of the time McCartney brought a little song called Yesterday to a recording session. McCartney’s bandmates — John Lennon, George Harrison, Ringo Starr — suggested he sing it alone, accompanying himself on guitar.

Martin, a classically trained musician, had another idea: to use a string quartet.

“I said, ‘Oh, no, George, we are a rock ’n’ roll band, and I don’t think it’s a good idea,’ ” McCartney recalled. “With the gentle bedside manner of a great producer, he said to me, ‘Let us try it and if it doesn’t work, we won’t use it, and we’ll go with your solo version.’ ” The rest is history, of course, as are Martin’s countless contributions as The Beatles evolved from a pop phenom to a cultural force that redefined and transcended rock. He brought strings in again — a double quartet this time — for Eleanor Rigby. Over the band’s relatively short but remarkably productive tenure, he encouraged the artists to experiment with different keys and tempos, as well as textures and pioneering techniques such as playing tapes backward. His flourishes ranged from the baroque piano solo featured in In My Life (Martin was himself a pianist and oboist, and played on other Beatles tracks) to

the marching band in Yellow Submarine to the trippy fadeout to All You Need Is Love, which draws from classical, folk and swing compositions.

While the older, refined Martin may not have shared The Beatles’ interests in exploring the lifestyle associated with psychedelia, his genre-defying virtuosity and ingenuity helped make the group’s defining adventures in the musical arena possible. He and engineer Geoff Emerick managed to combine two takes of Strawberry Fields Forever to produce the shimmering, hypnotic final track. Martin worked with McCartney to create the 16-minute medley that concludes Abbey Road, a rush of short songs that are alternately poignant, impish, frantic and ultimately exultant.

Martin had worked on classical, jazz and comedy recordings (including a Peter Sellers album)

before joining forces with The Beatles, and he collaborated with many artists after the iconic group dissolved, including Jeff Beck, the Bee Gees and Celine Dion, who sang Here, There and Everywhere for the 1998 compilation tribute In My Life. Quincy Jones, another revolutionary producer and arranger, called Martin “a true genius in body and soul” in a statement, noting that Martin “knew the secrets of our craft that so few know today.”

Jones added, “Thank you for co-inventing The Beatles.”

Martin at work in the studio with the Beatles, circa 1960s.

He had worked on classical, jazz and comedy recordings before taking on The Beatles.

John Gallagher Jr. received a text message in January from his sister, who was a little mystified.

“She asked me, ‘Why didn’t you tell me you were part of the Cloverfield movie anthology?’ ” the actor recalls. “I had to tell her, ‘I didn’t know.’ ” That’s surprising, considering that Gallagher stars in the J.J. Abrams-produced 10 Cloverfield Lane, along with John Goodman and Mary Elizabeth Winstead.

But more than a year after shooting the doomsday suspense thriller, none of the actors knew the film’s true title until just before the trailer was released in January — a mere two months ahead of the movie’s arrival in theaters Friday.

The name instantly forged a direct link to the Abrams-produced 2008 apocalyptic hit Cloverfield.

This kind of intrigue is good for moviegoers accustomed to having too much information about upcoming films, Abrams says.

“There’s fun in discovery,” Abrams says. “It’s a very rare thing to have the title announced

MICHELE K. SHORT

Emmett (John Gallagher Jr.), Michelle (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) and Howard (John Goodman) are cut off from the world. two months before release. It’s a strategy we thought we’d try. We didn’t even bring the cast in on it until the last minute.”

Abrams, with his production company Bad Robot, had been looking for a way to revisit Cloverfield, which burst out of nowhere to a devoted following ($80 million in box office) as its Godzilla visibly crushed Manhattan in found footage. He had been unsuccessful in finding a direct successor.

“We have talked about this for years, but never found something exciting enough,” Abrams says.

It was clear to him that the

new project, shot under the code name Valencia on an underground bunker set in New Orleans, had “the same DNA as the first Cloverfield,” Abrams says.

The film, which isn’t a direct sequel, purposely wasn’t called Cloverfield 2. But it became part of a budding anthology. “It’s the rare major studio release that is an entirely original idea that, at the same time, is connected to a universe that is a larger idea,” Abrams says.

The parameters of this larger universe haven’t been explained to the public. No found footage or giant aliens are visible in 10 Clo-

verfield Lane’s viral trailer. Instead, it shows Winstead and Gallagher’s characters living, for unknown reasons, in a bunker with Goodman’s increasingly menacing survivalist. The maddening question of what disaster took place is never explained.

“The big question in the movie is: ‘What’s worse — what’s outside or what’s inside?’ ” says director Dan Trachtenberg. “I love a story that suggests there’s no wall you can build that’s high enough, no bunker you can build that’s low enough. Bad stuff is going to come. And you just have to be ready for it as a person when it does.”

Will good stuff come to 10 Cloverfield Lane?

Fandango.com managing editor Erik Davis says it was a “gutsy call” to invoke the Cloverfield name late in the process. But with a strong social media push and positive word-of-mouth, he predicts Cloverfield Lane will have a solid box office performance (even if it faces an uphill battle against last week’s champ, the animated Zootopia).

Abrams plans more films for this expanding Cloverfield universe.

“This story works entirely as a stand-alone,” Abrams says. “But there’s a larger thing we’re working on that hopefully we get to explore if this connects with people.”

Ex-Kansas basketball standout Lovellette dies at 86 J-W Staff and Wire Reports

Kansas University men’s basketball legend Clyde Lovellette died Wednesday night in North Manchester, Ind., his daughter, Cindy, informed KU officials.

Lovellette, the fourthleading scorer and 11th-leading rebounder in KU history who had been battling cancer, was 86.

The 6-foot-9 two-time consensus first-team AllAmerica c e n t e r scored 33 points and grabbed 17 rebounds to lead KU to an 80-63 win over St. John’s in the Lovellette 1952 NCAA championship game. In the process he set a then-NCAA Tournament scoring record and earned most outstanding performer honors.

Also in 1952, Lovellette and six Jayhawk teammates helped lead the United States to the gold medal at the Olympics in Helsinki, Finland. Kansas coach Phog Allen was an assistant coach on the team.

“Clyde’s passing is a big loss for anyone who has ever supported Kansas Athletics,” KU coach Bill Self said Wednesday. “He was a great player, a national champion and Olympic gold medalist. He was a beloved teammate and a great ambassador for his alma mater.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.”

Lovellette was elected to the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in May 1988 and the College Basketball Hall of Fame in 2012. His KU jersey was retired on Feb. 15, 1992, in a ceremony honoring the 1952 NCAA title team.

A native of Terre Haute, Ind., Lovellette became the fourth Jayhawk to be named a consensus first-team AllAmerican and was also named All-Big Seven in 1951 and 1952.

His 1,979 points rank fourth all-time at KU. His 813 rebounds rank 11th. In 1952, Lovellette became the only player in NCAA history to lead the country in scoring (28.4) and play on the NCAA title team.

Following his career at KU, Lovellette played one year of AAU ball, then embarked on a 12-year NBA career with stops at Minneapolis, Cincinnati, St. Louis and Boston. He retired from basketball in 1964. Lovellette was a four-time NBA All-Star and won three NBA titles — in 1954, 1963 and 1964.

Lovellette also is a member of the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame. The Indianapolis Star spoke with Lovellette in January. He revealed that in the previous year he’d fallen ill with lymphoma, then contracted

Kansas City, Mo. — Projected as a certain No. 1 seed in the 2016 NCAA Tournament no matter what happens in the Big 12 championship, Kansas University’s basketball team could, in theory, face some (lack of) motivation issues today in Sprint Center.

“I do think it means a lot,” KU coach Bill Self said, coun-

tering arguments that today’s 1:30 p.m. quarterfinal versus Kansas State, a possible Friday semifinal against Texas or Baylor and Saturday spot in the finals hold little meaning for the Jayhawks (27-4).

“I don’t think it’s life and death at all. We won’t approach it that way. But we know it’s important and certainly can give you momentum going into the next one (NCAA Tourney).

“We should come over

here and be hungry, but we should be loose,” Self added, speaking after his team’s shootaround Wednesday in Sprint Center.

The Jayhawks — who last won the Big 12 tourney in 2013 — could be motivated to see somebody besides Iowa State clip the Sprint Center nets on Saturday. ISU has won two straight tourney titles. And they might be inclined to at least win one game in KC to make sure, beyond a shadow

of doubt, they are awarded the overall No. 1 seed in the NCAA field of 68.

But would the Jayhawks like to win, by, say, spreading minutes around, so as not to get worn out for the NCAAs, which for KU figure to begin next Thursday in Des Moines, Iowa?

“I think we need to win Thursday,” Self said Monday. “Then depending how Please see HOOPS, page 4C

Lions loose heading into state

LAWRENCE HIGH PLAYERS CELEBRATE WITH THE STUDENT SECTION after the Lions Please see LOVELLETTE, page 4C defeated Shawnee Mission Northwest in the sub-state title game Saturday at LHS.

Back at the Class 6A state tournament for the second straight year, Lawrence High boys basketball players will enter as the No. 1 seed — and, possibly, with less pressure than a year ago.

Last season, the Lions were filled with state-titleor-bust expectations on their way to second place at state.

It’s a little different this year. The Lions were focused, yet loose, in practice this week, preparing for their first-round matchup against Dodge City (12-10) at 3 p.m. today at Wichita State’s Koch Arena.

“Last year, going into the season, the rest of the state expected us to be in the championship game, if not win it,” senior forward Price Morgan said. “I felt like we did a pretty good job of embracing that. There’s that extra pressure you felt all the time.

“This year we came in, nobody expected anything out of us. We were kind of playing the underdog card all along. We knew we had a really talented group here.”

There were a lot more question marks at the beginning of the season for the Lions. Senior point guard Justin Roberts was recovering from a torn Please see LIONS, page 4C

Cozart has seen Kansas offense from many perspectives

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

It’s possible Kansas University rising senior Montell Cozart has had the most diverse X-and-O education of any quarterback in the history of college football.

Think about it. Cozart began his freshman season playing in an offensive coordinated by Charlie Weis.

The head coach fired him-

self from that portion of his job and appointed quarterbacks coach Ron Powlus as pass-game coordinator and tight ends coach Jeff Blasko as run-game coordinator.

Then John Reagan joined the program as offensive coordinator/O-line coach for Cozart’s sophomore season. Weis was fired after

four games, and not long after that, interim head coach/defensive coordinator Clint Bowen took the OC duties from the O-line coach and gave them to receivers coach Eric Kiesau.

After that season, athletic director Sheahon Zenger turned Bowen back into a full-time DC and hired Da-

vid Beaty, who had served two stints as an assistant coach in KU’s football program for two different head coaches, as the new head coach. Beaty hired Rob Likens as his offensive coordinator, but in keeping with the musical-chairs game in Please see KEEGAN, page 5C Cozart

TCU 67, Texas Tech 62 Kansas City, Mo. — Chauncey Collins scored 19 points, and No. 10 seed TCU dealt a major blow to Texas Tech’s NCAA Tournament hopes in the first round of the Big 12 tournament.

The Associated Press

Big 12 Men Kansas State 75, Oklahoma State 71 Kansas City, Mo. — Kansas State looked like a team playing without any pressure in the Big 12 tournament Wednesday night.

Maybe because that’s the way the Wildcats have chosen to approach it.

They know that they’ll need to win four games in four days to make the NCAA Tournament, and they are unlikely to be favored the rest of the way.

But they at least got the first one out of the way, holding on after building a big early lead to beat Oklahoma State in the opening round.

“There should be no pressure on us,” Wildcats coach Bruce Weber said. “We just have to come and play and enjoy the opportunity. That’s what we’ve talked about.”

Freshman forward Dean Wade took advantage of his opportunity, scoring a careerbest 20 points. Justin Edwards added 17, and Wesley Iwundu had 14 for the eighth-seeded Wildcats (17-15), who will play top-ranked Kansas University — the tournament’s No. 1 seed — in Thursday’s quarterfinals.

“It is definitely going to be challenging, the No. 1 team in the country,” Edwards said.

BALDWIN HIGH SENIOR KYNA SMITH, CENTER, DRIVES between Clay Center defenders Katelyn Bohnenblust, left, and Allie Wright during the Bulldogs’ 53-48 loss in the first round of the Class 4A-Div. II state tournament on Wednesday in Emporia.

Baldwin girls ousted, 53-48

It took us awhile to get settled down, Emporia — Baldwin and I don’t know if we High found itself in a barn-burner in an open- ever did completely.”

Special to the Journal-World

ing-round game of the girls Class 4A DivisionII state basketball tournament on Wednesday night at White Auditorium.

As the No. 4-seeded Bulldogs tangled with fifth-seeded Clay Center, free throws proved to be the difference, where the Tigers converted nine of 12 in the final two minutes, 17 seconds of the fourth quarter to salt away a 53-48 victory.

Clay Center (19-4) advances to Friday’s semifinal at 6:30 p.m. against top-seeded Hugoton (221), which bounced Wichita Collegiate, 53-39.

“We knew they had a good team coming in,” Baldwin coach Bob Martin said after his team closed its season at 19-4.

“I felt good until the last few seconds.

“We didn’t get a couple things go our way.

We didn’t get a couple things to fall and missed a couple free throws after we put ourselves right there.”

Clay Center led 4034 before Baldwin’s Kyna Smith, who scored a game-high 17 points, drained a three-point basket from the right corner. Teammate Madeline Neufeld then scored off a driving layup to slash the Tigers’ lead to 40-39 with 3:27 remaining.

Lauren Lane’s basket in the lane made it 42-39, Clay Center before Smith was whistled for a charging foul driving to the basket at the 3:15 mark, turning the ball back over to the Tigers.

Baldwin’s Fayth Peterson’s offensive rebound and putback slashed the margin to 42-41 before Clay Center began trekking to the foul line.

The Tigers’ Katelyn Bohnenblust sank two free throws with 2:17 remaining, and Allie Wright converted two more with 1:36 left for a 46-42 edge.

Taylor Cawley answered by knocking down a three from the right corner to pull Baldwin within 46-45 with 1:28 left.

But post player Courtney Hammel, who led Clay Center with 14 points, scored inside, and Wright sank a pair at the line for a 50-47 edge with 37.8 ticks left.

Clay Center outrebounded Baldwin, 4031.

In the third quarter, Baldwin led 23-22 with 4:39 remaining in the pe-

— Baldwin coach Bob Martin riod after Neufeld scored off a driving layup and also converted a threepoint play.

Clay Center answered by scoring the next six points to retake the lead at 28-23 after Callaway scored in the paint for the Tigers.

From that juncture, Baldwin answered with a surge of its own, outscoring the Tigers 6-3, capped

by Cawley’s layup, to close to 32-29 entering the final eight minutes.

Baldwin shot a chilly 25.9 percent from the floor in the opening half (7-for-27); Clay Center was worse at 22.2 percent (4-for-18).

Baldwin outscored Clay Center 8-1 during the opening four minutes of the second quarter for an 18-13 lead before the Tigers scored the final five points of the half.

Smith, who scored 12 first-half points on 4-for9 shooting, including a three-pointer, and 3-for3 on free throws, made a steal and layup and also had a driving layup for the slender five-point lead.

But the Tigers, converting three of four free foul shots and a basket, knotted the score at intermission.

In a sluggish start, Baldwin trailed 12-10 after the opening period.

Missing nine of their first 10 field goals at the outset, the Bulldogs crept back into contention after trailing 8-2 at the 3:15 mark in the quarter.

“We were overly excited to start the game,” Martin said. “It took us awhile to get settled down, and I don’t know if we ever did completely.

“We were pressing pretty hard, and things just didn’t fall for us.”

Seabury pumped about trip to state

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

After returning to the court for three days of practice ahead of the Class 2A state tournament, Bishop Seabury Academy boys basketball players are more than excited for their chance to play on the big stage.

“I don’t know about the other guys, but I really can’t sleep at night,” sophomore guard Bansi King said.

Hoops CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

Thursday goes, I think there could be something to what you are talking about (reducing minutes of key players in Friday’s semis).

“If you don’t win Thursday, you hope you play those guys (rotation players) a lot of minutes because they need the reps for the following week. We’ll put all our emphasis in playing as well as we can Thursday.

After that ... it’s important to play well and those things, (but) it may be an opportunity to maybe let some other guys play through some stressful situations. I don’t want to think like that or talk like that. I want our guys to go into this with the mindset, ‘Hey, we’re going to go in there and validate.’”

The Jayhawks, remember, won the Big 12 regular-season title by two games over West Virginia.

“That’s what we’ve talked about. I think it’s a good way to put it. We want to validate what’s already taken place or at least attempt to. In order to do that, we’re going to have to have everybody play well,” Self said.

The Jayhawks have already defeated quarterfinal foe K-State (the Wildcats beat Oklahoma State, 75-71, Wednesday) twice this season. KU won, 77-59, on Feb. 3 in Allen Fieldhouse and 72-63 on Feb. 20 in Manhattan.

“K-State was a tie game with 12 minutes left at our place, then it’s a threepoint game at their place with three minutes left. So, yes, it will be a tough game regardless,” Self said.

Of the league tourney in general, Self said: “We’ve had great success in our conference tournament, but great success doesn’t always equate to winning.

The league is so darn good. You can have one of five or six teams get hot (and) they would definitely be the best team in our league for those three days, if they get hot. They are all talented and very comparable.”

Self hopes that no matter what, heading into next week ... “I don’t know if there’s an exact science to it. Anything to have our bodies rested, playing our best and having guys unbelievably motivated and focused. Sometimes winning does that; sometimes going home sad does that. I don’t really know the formula.” l

Motto: KU junior Wayne Selden Jr. said the team has an unofficial saying heading into upcoming tourney games.

“Coach has been preaching, ‘Have the pleasure exceed the pressure.’ I think that’s what we’re doing,” Selden said of the team having fun.

Selden on Wednesday was named one of five finalists for the Julius Erving Award, which goes to the top small forward in the country according to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.

Other finalists: Brandon Ingram (Duke), Ben Simmons (LSU), Denzel Valentine (Michigan State)

The seventh-seeded Seahawks (18-3) don’t have to wait much longer, facing Central Plains (23-0) at 6:30 tonight at Kansas State’s Bramlage Coliseum.

The Seahawks, winners of seven straight games, have spent hours watching film of Central Plains and developing a game plan, confident they can become the first team to beat the Oilers.

“I think it’s just the same way we’ve been

preparing for every game this year,” sophomore point guard Zach McDermott said. “We’re just ready to take care of business. We’ve all been in tight spots before on the basketball court. It’s really just another game for us.”

Central Plains has five players averaging more than eight points per game, including a teambest 17 points from senior 6-foot-1 guard Michael Ryan. The Oilers were

the state runners-up last season, losing by four points in the state title game.

The Seahawks, riding high from their first state appearance since 2012, are thrilled with the opportunity to compete at state.

“It’s a dream come true,” King said. “I still feel like I’m dreaming. I really can’t explain it. It’s amazing.”

Junior point guard Mikey Wycoff added:

“After being close for two years, we can’t take it for granted. We have to go out and fight our hardest and make it a good trip.”

Wycoff, the team’s leading scorer with 21 points per game, estimated his ankle is around “95 percent” for the state opener. He missed five games, including all three of the team’s losses, because of the injury last month.

Other area teams will open at state today:

n No. 6 Eudora High boys (16-6) vs. No. 3 Bishop Miege (19-3) at 4:45 p.m. at Salina Bicentennial Center in the first round of 4A-I state. n No. 8 Baldwin High boys (7-15) vs. No. 1 Girard (22-0) at 3 p.m. at Emporia’s White Auditorium in the first round of 4A-II state. n No. 5 Mill Valley girls (18-4) vs. No. 4 Salina Central (18-4) at 4:45 p.m. at Topeka Expocentre in the first round of 5A state.

stomach cancer. In December of 2015 he fell and broke his neck.

At his induction ceremony in 2012 in Kansas City, Lovellette said: “There are too many people to thank for being enshrined in the Hall of Fame. It’s always an honor to be inducted to a Hall of Fame. It’s always great to be represented in basketball. That’s been my life ever since I could bounce the ball. Playing for a great coach like Phog Allen and being with a group of guys like Bill Lienhard, Bill Hougland, and Bob Kenney, those are the people that really make the team.

“Without a staff around you, I wouldn’t be here. I don’t believe one man can win any ballgames.

They can have a big impact, but the other four men that are with him, that’s where you develop team play, camaraderie and the real togetherness to win a ballgame.”

Of his game, Clyde said: “I started out with a good hook and then I had a good one-handed shot. The hook shot has sort of gone away because not many people play with their back to the basket anymore. They’re big enough and moving

anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his left knee, and they had to fill three spots in the starting lineup from graduated seniors.

“I knew this team was going to be a good team, but as a coach you never want to put one goal — and one goal only — that’s a state championship,” LHS coach Mike Lewis said. “I don’t think that’s fair to the team. My philosophy is more, it’s about the journey.”

The Lions (20-2) are a loose group, always enjoying joking around with each other on and off the court. They’ve won their past five games, all by at least 10 points.

They admit there’s some pressure from earning the

quicker. They’re out there in front where they can see the basket. I shot my shot with my back to the basket, so I couldn’t see the basket. You had to have that touch and distance. It just came natural.”

Lovellette was proud of his KU years.

“I think anybody who ever played at Kansas is recognized,” Lovellette said. “It’s a great tradition at KU. The people take their basketball to heart.

They know the players.

They know the old players because their grandpa told them, or uncles or aunts. It’s a family affair at Kansas.”

Lovellette will be forever remembered for his 33-point effort off 12-of-25 shooting in the title game vs. St. John’s.

“Leaving everybody else open and collapsing on Clyde lasted about a half,” teammate Lienhard told the Journal-World in 2010. “They opened it up, and Clyde got a bunch of points.”

Lovellette was named the Most Outstanding Player of the tourney. He scored 141 points in the four games. Only TCU, losing 68-64 in the first round in Kansas City, came close to the Jayhawks, who slaughtered St. Louis and Santa Clara by identical 74-55 scores.

Lovellette, who returned to Lawrence in 2008 for the 110 Years of

KU basketball reunion, once was asked by the J-W which games meant more: playing Missouri or Kansas State.

“Both. I don’t know if I hated them (Tigers) but it was a tradition that you did hate them. You’d get on the court and just play,” he said.

Teammate Jerry Waugh told a humorous story about Lovellette in December on Bill Self’s weekly “Hawk Talk” radio show. Waugh recalled he and Lovellette appeared on a radio quiz show, “Break the Bank,” on a trip to Boston to play Holy Cross in 1949.

“We won $100 on the show. I gave my half of the $100 to my teammates and Clyde kept his,” Waugh said with a laugh.

“When Doc (Allen) found out about it he made Clyde share with the rest of the guys. That’s when Doc said, ‘The Big Turkey gets all the grain.’

That’s the story about Clyde (that he gets teased about).”

On a serious note, Waugh said: “Clyde’s a good guy, a friend and friendly person and a lot of fun to be around.

He was growing up as a young man.”

As former JournalWorld managing editor Bill Mayer pointed out in a 1999 column: “Phog’s ‘Big Turkey’ label for Clyde stuck.”

top seed, but one of the big benefits from last season is they know what to expect once they travel to Wichita. It’s the first time the Lions have returned to state in back-to-back years since 1991-92.

“We definitely aren’t going to go in scared or anything,” junior Jackson Mallory said. “Last year, we played kind of, I guess, timid because we knew we had to win. This year I think we’re just going to go in and play our game and do what we do.”

Dodge City is led by six seniors, including leading scorer Dayton McGroarty (13 points) and Northwestern Missouri State football commit Noah Williams (9.2 points and 7.1 rebounds per game).

The Red Demons have won seven of their past eight games, and have played well against top competition. They lost in double overtime against

McPherson, the top seed in 4A-I, and lost by two points against Eisenhower, which was the top seed in 5A. “We know a decent amount (about them). We know the offense they run,” Mallory said. “They are a good team, obviously, they are in state. But I think if we come out and play the way we can, we should be fine.”

Whether there’s less pressure from a season ago or not, the Lions have the same goal of finding a way to win the state tournament and adding a banner to the school’s gym.

If anything, last year’s run to the state title game gave the Lions extra confidence for this season.

“We’re definitely motivated,” Roberts said.

“We didn’t get to do it for the seniors last year.

We want to try to avenge them in a way, and get it for ourselves.”

KU starts winning slogan

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

It can be heard throughout the Kansas University football complex on a daily basis and does not discriminate.

In the weight room, during film sessions, before and after team meetings and, of course, on the practice fields, the Jayhawks have adopted a new mantra for the 2016 season, and its threeword cadence is audible every time the team breaks a huddle or gathers together before tackling its next task.

“We will win,” the players roar in unison.

“It’s just the slogan we’re going with this year,” said junior linebacker Joe Dineen after Wednesday’s second spring practice of 2016. “But there’s a lot of meaning to it. It’s confidence. It’s, we will win, not, we might win.

We have to. There’s no other option.”

Dineen said he did not know exactly where the

a sport that puts a premium on reps to develop timing, Likens didn’t stay in that job for long.

Beaty, the head coach, added OC duties to his long list of responsibilities and demoted Likens to “walk-around guy,” who will spend a lot of time helping the offensive line coach.

If you suspect all that change has soured Cozart on football, college, even life, then you haven’t spent any time with the young man. It would take a great deal more than that to knock the smile off of his face, the front of a head that somehow is not spinning from all the changes.

Cozart has seen a lot.

He has seen a head coach fire himself as OC and he has seen a head coach hire himself as OC. He

stead, focused on trying to get better each day.

There were days they improved and other days they took steps back, but no matter how it played out, the wins never came.

That, Dineen said, is why the new slogan is perfect for a new season because, as much as the Jayhawks admit that they still reflect back on 2015 for motivation from time to time, they’re much more focused on what’s ahead.

“I think you really can embrace it,” senior safety Fish Smithson said of the slogan. “If you keep saying something over and over and over, you’re gonna start to believe it.

If we just keep working and keep saying it and keep working and keep saying it, we’re gonna start to believe that we’re really gonna win.”

Added Dineen: “No room for failure. We did enough of that last year, and it’s time to change it.”

Doing so will take patience and a steadfast commitment to believ-

has seen a wide-receivers coach add “offensive coordinator” to his job description, and he has seen an offensive-line coach subtract “offensive coordinator” from his job description.

For the purposes of comparison, 85 miles down the road, Bill Snyder has been the head coach, Dan Dimel the offensive coordinator at Kansas State since Cozart was a freshman in high school. How boring.

“It’s been fun out there,” Cozart said two days into spring practice.

Cozart said he started working with the new offense, the Air Raid version preferred by Beaty, since December.

“We’ve been working on it for three months now, and we’re starting to get the hang of it,” Cozart said. “We like to spread teams out a little more and utilize tempo.

The quarterback has a little more freedom in this offense and has more

on his shoulders. ... We’re communicating the protections to the offensive line, and the signals are different.”

Not counting the Powlus/Blasko tandem, Cozart has worked under five offensive coordinators. He speaks five football languages. He speaks Weis-ese, Reagan-ese, Kiesau-ese, Likens-ese and Beaty-ese.

What he doesn’t speak is bitterly. He welcomes each change, looks forward to growing, always speaks highly of his coaches and teammates.

He missed the final eight games of last season due to an injury that required surgery on his left shoulder. He has applied for a medical red-shirt in hopes of being able to extend his football career through the 2017 season, by which time there is no telling how many offensive coordinators he will have looked to for guidance.

“I’ve been through a

lot,” Cozart said. “I’ve been through five offenses in 31⁄2 years. I just take advantage of it.”

Cozart’s length and speed always have made him a prospect at wide receiver, but no coach has switched him from quarterback. He could have had a little bit more stability at that position, but just a little. Since Cozart’s freshman year in high school, KU’s wide receiver coaches have been Beaty, Darrell Wyatt, Beaty again, Rob Ianello (two consecutive seasons), Kiesau, Klint Kubiak and now Jason Phillips.

Upheavel can’t dent Cozart’s optimism.

“I feel like the offenses when I came here College Women weren’t geared too much TOURNAMENTS to my style, but last year Atlantic Sun Conference and now I feel like I’ll be Semifinals Florida Gulf Coast 61, Stetson 46 able to succeed a little bit Jacksonville 67, SC-Upstate 56 Conference USA more and be able to put Second Round our offense in a better Marshall 76, FIU 44 Old Dominion 62, North Texas 55 position,” Cozart said.
