Dustin Walker found guilty of murder 3rd trial in 2014 killing results in verdict

By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

Two years after 39-year-old Patrick Roberts was shot to death inside his Lawrence duplex, a jury has found Dustin Walker, 31, guilty of the crime.

Walker’s trial — his third in connection with Roberts’ death — began on Monday,

and on Friday he was found guilty of a single count of firstdegree felony murder, which is a killing committed during the commission of a felony.

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

shot and killed Roberts.

During Walker’s first trial in February 2015, he faced charges of felony murder and aggravated Walker burglary, which was the underlying felony. He was found guilty of the aggravated burglary, but the jury could not reach a decision on

felony murder.

In December 2015, Walker faced a felony murder charge again. Once more, the jury failed to come to a unanimous decision.

Robinson, meanwhile, was found guilty of both first-degree murder and aggravated burglary in Roberts’ death during his own trial in March of 2015. He was sentenced to life Please see MURDER, page 2A

A couple who say their daughter was raped in Kansas University’s Jayhawker Towers apartments are suing the university, claiming KU is misleading the public by representing campus housing as safe.

James and Amanda Tackett’s daughter, Daisy Tackett, was a KU freshman when she said she was raped by another KU student in the fall of 2014, according to the lawsuit filed Friday in Douglas County District Court.

“We feel the university cannot say their campus and their dorms are safe unless they really are safe,” Amanda Tackett said in a written statement. “In addition to the horrific assault of our daughter, we are concerned for the safety of all students at KU. We believe there are many more victims of oncampus crimes in the dorms. Had we known this, we would not have considered KU as an option.”

The Tacketts, who said they paid their daughter’s tuition and board, are suing KU in an unusual application of the Kansas Consumer Protection Act. Please see LAWSUIT, page 2A

in prison without the possibility of parole for 20 years.

Throughout the week attorneys focused heavily on the underlying felony of aggravated burglary, a required element to the felony murder charge.

Prosecuting attorneys CJ Rieg and Amy McGowan argued that Walker and Robinson forced their way into Roberts’ duplex to steal from him, but defense attorney Blake Glover argued they went there to buy marijuana and that Roberts’ death was the result of a “drug deal gone bad.”

Testimony throughout the week showed that Walker had been in Roberts’ duplex, where Roberts lived with his mother, brother and son.

Marilyn Howard, Wayne Roberts and Michael Neis-Roberts — Roberts’ mother, brother and son, respectively — told jurors that Roberts did indeed sell marijuana, but that Walker forced his way inside rather than stopping by to make a purchase.

Police and forensic scientists told jurors that both Robinson and Walker were arrested in the area of Roberts’ home shortly after the shooting.

Both had Roberts’ blood on their clothing, according to testimony.

Prosecuting attorneys showed jurors a video of Walker’s interviews with Lawrence Police Detective Jamie Lawson shortly after his arrest. During that interview, Walker described Roberts’ duplex as an “in and out house” and said he fell asleep there around 1:30 a.m. and was awakened when someone “burst” through the door and a “struggle” ensued.

Asia Morrison, Walker’s girlfriend at the time of the incident and the mother of two of his children, told jurors she bought a Ruger 9mm handgun less than a month before the crime.

Morrison, of Topeka, said she and Walker decided she would buy the gun for self protection.

The day of the shooting, after she was contacted by police about the crime, she reported the gun missing.

Forensic scientists with the Kansas Bureau of Investigation told jurors the bullet that killed Roberts did indeed come from Morrison’s gun, which was also found at the scene.

When Robinson and

Walker were arrested that night, police told jurors they found no stolen drugs, money or electronics on them.

During closing statements, Rieg told jurors the evidence, when taken together, showed that Walker’s actions met the elements of aggravated burglary.

Walker, Rieg said, entered Roberts’ duplex without permission, while others were there and with the intent to commit a theft.

Glover, the defense attorney, said in his closing statement that the prosecution’s case was incomplete and presented “evidence that’s filled with assumptions and speculations” and required jurors to “fill in the gaps.”

“It’s simply not good enough,” he said to the jury.

After more than three hours of deliberation, the jury returned to the courtroom and delivered the verdict.

Walker sat in silence as Douglas County District Judge Paula Martin pronounced the finding of guilt. Shortly thereafter, he was handcuffed and led from the room.

Glover said of Walker, “I’d imagine he will be appealing.”

Martin ordered a presentence investigation for Walker and scheduled his sentencing for 10 a.m.

April 29.

Walker has multiple prior convictions within Douglas County. In 2008 he was convicted for aggravated burglary, and he was convicted of two charges in relation to operating a vehicle while intoxicated and fleeing a law enforcement officer in 2012.

Walker was also acquitted on charges connected to his alleged role in a December 2010 shooting at Southpointe Apartments, 2310 W. 26th St., in 2011.

He faced charges of attempted second-degree murder and possessing a firearm as a felon after Darrick Dew was shot during a large party.

Walker was also suspected in a 2008 robbery at a Lawrence apartment that resulted in a man being shot in the leg. But in 2011, Douglas County prosecutors dismissed the case before it went to trial. Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson said afterword that both the victim and witness were unable to recall the incident, which stopped them from pursuing the case.

LAWRENCE • STATE

Lawsuit CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

They say in the lawsuit that KU has repeatedly represented to them and other prospective and current students that university residence halls are safe and secure when, in fact, campus housing for years has been home to “a known, persistent and growing problem of instances of sexual assault.”

They want a judge to rule that KU violated the Consumer Protection Act, order KU to cease representing its dorms as safe until they are “demonstrated” to be, and order KU to give up money earned as a result of the deception, potentially through restitution to affected families, according to the lawsuit.

KU called the allegations an inaccurate portrayal of the environment at the university and its ongoing efforts to ensure students are safe.

“The suggestion that our residence halls are unsafe or that we misrepresent campus safety in our student recruitment is baseless,” university spokeswoman Erinn Barcomb-Peterson said Friday, in an emailed statement.

While at KU, Daisy Tackett was on the rowing team and a member of Student Senate.

The Journal-World does not generally identify rape victims, but Tackett wanted her name to be used.

She withdrew from the university early this semester and moved back to Florida, where her parents live, said attorney Dan Curry of Brown and Curry LLC, who is representing Tackett’s parents with law partner Sarah Brown and Tony LaCroix

of the LaCroix Law Firm.

Both firms are in Kansas City, Mo. In the fall of 2014, when she was a freshman, Tackett was raped by a male student in a Jayhawker Towers apartment, Curry said. She did not live in the Towers at the time.

She did not file a police report but did file a complaint with KU’s Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access about a year after the incident occurred, Curry said.

Her IOA investigation remains open, Curry said. For that reason he declined to reveal more about the alleged rape.

Tackett’s alleged attacker remains a student at KU, Curry said.

James and Amanda Tackett’s lawsuit lists several reported incidents of sexual assault at the Towers and KU dorms dating to 2013. It also cites the university’s Clery Act Annual Security Report, which said that of 24 forcible sex offenses reported at KU in 2014, 16 occurred in dorms.

During the same years, according to the lawsuit, KU posted online content stating that “students enjoy living on campus because it is convenient, safe, and affordable” and describing KU and its campus housing as a “safe community” where “security is a priority.”

The lawsuit does not demand a set amount of money from KU. “The Tacketts are focused on the equitable relief part of this,” Curry said. “They want to see changes made.”

Barcomb-Peterson said KU’s campus housing is “absolutely safe” and that the university goes to great lengths to ensure residents’ safety, including training of residence assistants, security cameras, ID-card access and

overnight security patrols throughout buildings.

She said the university also goes beyond the minimum requirements of federal law by providing an array of sexual assault prevention and education resources. Those include mandatory online training, bystander intervention programming, campuswide campaigns and the recently opened Sexual Assault Prevention and Education Center, Barcomb-Peterson said.

“National data demonstrate that traditional college-aged students are at increased risk of sexual assault — meaning the issue of sexual assault is not unique to KU or any other institution,” she said.

“That’s why the University of Kansas goes to great lengths to prevent and address sexual assault, not just in our residence halls, but across our campuses and throughout our community.”

Campus rape victims nationwide have filed individual lawsuits claiming universities failed to properly investigate or adjudicate their cases.

But a class action suit related to sexual assault in campus housing is unusual, if not unprecedented, attorneys said.

Class-action lawsuits against post-secondary schools often claim institutions misled consumers by failing to deliver on promises such as guaranteed employment or certain salaries for graduates, Curry said.

“We’re kind of applying the same logic to housing,” he said. “If they’re going to say that they’re safe in their advertisements when they know that they’re not totally safe, then that runs afoul of the law.”

The Washington Post reported Monday that widespread budget cuts to health services could hamper some states’ ability to fight and contain the virus. That report cited Kansas as among six states that have cut their public health spending for three consecutive years.

Health officials say the virus is primarily transmitted by a specific type of mosquito and most people who get the disease have no symptoms.

Others with the Zika virus suffer from fever, rash, joint pain and pink eye.

Five things to know about Aedes mosquitoes The Aedes aegypti is a species of mosquito that has played a villainous role in public health history and defeated attempts to eradicate it from the New World.

Five things to know about the bug:

Farm to School program adds gardens at elementary schools State officials discuss selling tobacco settlement payments

By Rochelle Valverde

Twitter: @RochelleVerde

When Cordley Elementary students were handed packets of seeds for their school’s new garden Friday afternoon, some seemed unsure exactly what to do. A few students upturned the entire packet of radish, carrot or spinach seeds in a pile on top of the dirt, but others seemed more familiar.

“I like that every day we’ll get to watch it grow until it’s the full plant,” third-grader Bebel Piepergerdes said as she mixed soil and compost before planting her seeds. “I’m looking forward to picking them off the stems.”

The Cordley garden is part of

the districtwide Farm to School program, one of the goals of which is to increase students’ knowledge of food and nutrition.

As students were handed seeds, Farm to School coordinator Crystal Hammerschmidt explained to them about how far apart and how deep different seeds needed to be planted.

She also answered more basic questions, such as “What is arugula?” or “Why can’t we plant watermelons?” as students from each grade level stopped by to perform a task.

SATURDAY COLUMN

Can the GOP ‘establishment’ derail Trump’s bid?

By Dolph C. Simons Jr.

Several weeks ago, this writer suggested Donald Trump might be — emphasizing might be — the best alternative for both the Republican Party and the country if he could set aside pride and ego and, if elected, follow through on his pledge to select the best and wisest individuals to serve as cabinet members and close advisers.

During his campaign, he has talked about selecting a truly bipartisan group to help him straighten out the stagnation and inaction in Washington, which has had a damaging and negative impact not only in Washington but throughout the country.

Skeptics laugh at the idea Trump could be a good president but, at the same time, they have no answer for how to unlock the Washington gridlock,

which would continue and probably become even more intense if the general election became a showdown between Hillary Clinton, who endorses the Obama agenda, and Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich, a former U.S. House member, would appear to have a better chance of creating a meaningful, productive relationship with Democrats in Congress who endorse the Obama pledge to change America.

The fact is, the country cannot continue the drift of the past seven years. If Clinton, Cruz or Rubio were elected president, is there really any hope things would change? There is a terrific difference about what is best for this country and its citizens between current Democratic leaders and current Republican lawmakers running for office.

Dr. Ben Carson’s announcement on Friday that he endorses Trump as the GOP standard bearer probably came as a shock to most of those who have been following the Republican and Democratic presidential race.

COMMENTARY Trump and Carson are looked upon as two opposites in most every way, and, yet, the highly respected, modest, thoughtful and brilliant surgeon was powerful in announcing why he believes Trump is the best candidate for this country.

If Trump were to win next week’s Florida primary, it is likely additional prominent Republicans who have been sitting on the sideline will announce

their support of Trump.

Trump is disliked, almost despised, by many in the socalled Republican “establishment,” but there is reason to wonder whether this dislike is driven more by fear of their establishment dollhouse being broken up than by concern about whether Trump could be a good president.

Likewise, a sizable segment of the “mainstream” media, whatever that is, don’t disguise their opposition to a Trump presidency.

It’s far too early to predict who will lead the GOP ticket, but, at this time, the outspoken, often arrogant and bombastic Trump seems to have a powerful tailwind pushing him to the Republican presidential nomination.

“establishment” Trump opponents along with many in the media and longtime GOP Washington insiders be able to derail the Trump Express?

The Trump phenomenon shakes up most all political professionals, political junkies and a large portion of the public, particularly those who, for one reason or another, are recipients of federal subsidies.

A Trump presidency would almost guarantee tremendous changes. Given the current dislike or distrust of Washington insiders — both Democrats and Republicans — it will be interesting to see what transpires between now and the GOP National Convention in Cleveland and the general election in November.

And, is there any chance, any chance, Hillary Clinton will not be the Democratic nominee?

Brownback’s warning stalls GOP veto override

By John Hanna

“

We’re at a crossroads. We’d better decide who’s in charge in these chambers and Topeka — Kansas Gov. govern.”

Sam Brownback stalled Associated Press

an effort Thursday by some fellow Republicans to override his veto of a popular budget measure by warning lawmakers that doing so could jeopardize the state’s credit ratings.

The debate over Brownback’s veto highlighted a split among Republicans in the GOP-dominated Senate. The bill the governor rejected last week would have protected an aging government building near the Statehouse and dealt with the cancellation of a $20 million project to tear it down and build a new power plant in the area.

Power plant project Brownback’s administration had planned to demolish the 1950s-era Docking State Office Building near the Statehouse. Because it houses a power plant for the Statehouse and other buildings, the administration’s plan would have built a new one.

The Department of Administration signed an unusual financing agreement in December, weeks after members of a legislative committee expressed misgivings. The state would have financed the project through a 15-year leasepurchase agreement with Bank of America, paying 2.32 percent interest.

Bipartisan opposition forced Brownback to cancel the project last month.

Legislators then passed a bill with only one

— Sen. Ralph Ostmeyer, R-Grinnell dissenting vote in either chamber to protect the Docking building from demolition. The bill also tied the cancellation of the project to a refusal by lawmakers to provide money for it — something its drafters said would help the state negotiate lesser penalties from Bank of America and the construction company.

“We were looking out for the taxpayers,” said Kay Wolf, a Prairie Village Republican.

Wolf initiated an effort in the Senate to override Brownback’s veto and appeared at one point to have the necessary twothirds majority, or 27 of 40 votes. But she dropped it and asked that the vote be postponed until Monday after Brownback’s warnings became public during the debate.

Governor’s warning Brownback’s administration said if the state ties the power plant project’s cancellation to a refusal to provide funds for it, credit rating agencies could question Kansas’ willingness to pay its obligations.

The warning was based on a Feb. 26 memo from Paul Maco, a Washington attorney representing the state on such issues.

Brownback vetoed the bill March 4, and his message to lawmakers did not

decline for 189 school districts, with increases for 37 districts, according to a preliminary analysis by the Legislative Research Department, The Wichita Eagle reported Friday.

Meanwhile, a bill that Republican Rep. Ron Ryckman of Olathe introduced Friday in the House would give districts $39 million more in funding for the next school year.

That would increase funding for 162 districts

Gardens

afternoon, some students prepped the garden beds, some planted and others watered. The point was that every student at the school did at least something, said parent volunteer Melissa Freiburger.

“So every child is going to interact with the garden, which is what I think is the beauty of it, is that they’ll all be invested and they’ll all have pride in the garden,” she said. “We want to just build excitement with them, and I think that getting them digging in the dirt is the way to do that.”

in their effort. Across the Lawrence school district, five elementary schools are adding or significantly expanding their school gardens this year.

The recent additions — at Cordley, Hillcrest, Quail Run, New York and Woodlawn — mean about half of the district’s 14 elementary schools now have gardens. Some schools also reinitiated gardens following recent construction projects.

Sciences, the International Association of Chiefs of Police and others have endorsed.

Some of those include: l Ensuring the officer who administers a police lineup does not know the suspect’s identity. This is to prevent the officer from making unintended cues to the witness. l Instructing witnesses that the suspect may or may not be in the lineup and even if the witness is unable to identify a suspect, explaining to the witness that the investigation will continue. l Ensuring that

nonsuspects in a lineup match the witness description of the suspect so that no one in the lineup stands out. l Having eyewitnesses provide a statement in their own words describing how confident they are that they selected the right suspect. That statement should be in writing.

This year’s bill is a result, in part, of the release of Floyd Bledsoe from prison. Bledsoe spent almost 16 years behind bars for a murder his brother admitted doing.

Bledsoe had been pushing for the requirement that police interviews be recorded because he said he might not have been wrongfully convicted if jurors had been able to see or hear his brother’s

BRIEFLY Police seek suspect in armed robbery at mobile phone store Police are seeking a man suspected of robbing a Lawrence cellphone store Thursday night.

At 7:08 p.m., a man with his face covered entered Boost Mobile, 1424 West 23rd St., displayed

a handgun and demanded cash, said Lawrence Police Sgt. Trent McKinley. The clerk gave the suspect the money in the store’s register.

The suspect then left the store and fled on

foot, McKinley said.

No injuries were reported in the incident, and no arrests have been made, McKinley said.

Further information was not immediately available.

Cruz, Trump to hold rallies in Kansas City today mention the credit rating issue, something his critics quickly noted.

Brownback spokeswoman Eileen Hawley said the issue wasn’t mentioned because, “We were trying to work out all of this amicably with the Senate.”

GOP acrimony on display The debate over Brownback’s veto showcased deep divisions among Republicans in the Senate.

President Susan Wagle, of Wichita, pushed to override the veto. She questioned the power plant project and said lawmakers were providing necessary oversight by getting it canceled.

Sen. Ralph Ostmeyer, a Grinnell Republican, said, “We’re at a crossroads. We’d better decide who’s in charge in these chambers and govern.”

But Majority Leader Terry Bruce, of Nickerson, and Ways and Means Committee Chairman Ty Masterson, of Andover, sought to prevent the veto override.

“What’s done is done,” Masterson said. “There’s no positive gain.”

Brownback’s official account and his budget director also tweeted during the debate in favor of the governor’s position.

2 proposals would mean changed funding for school districts Topeka — A proposal from the Kansas Senate budget chairman would reduce funding for most of the state’s school districts, while a bill introduced in the Kansas House would increase funding for a majority of districts.

Sen. Ty Masterson said this week his proposal would shift money already allocated for K-12 districts to poorer districts.

It would mean a funding

and reduce funding for 79 districts. Another 45 districts would have flat funding. The plan would use the state’s $17 million emergency fund for part of the funding.

Both of the proposals would restore the state’s former equalization formula, which provides extra dollars to school districts that can’t raise as much local property tax revenue as property-rich districts.

Republican presidential candidates Ted Cruz and Donald Trump will both make stops in Kansas City, Mo., today.

Cruz’s campaign website, www.tedcruz.org, says he will hold a Cruz to Victory Rally from 1:30 to 3 p.m. today at Adam’s Mark Hotel Cruz & Conference Center, 9103 E. 39th St., in Kansas City, Mo. Trump’s campaign website, www.donaldjtrump. com, says doors will open at 3 p.m. for a 6 p.m. event at Arvest Bank Theatre at The Midland, 1228 Main St., in Kansas City, Mo. Cruz visited Johnson Trump County Community College in

Overland Park on March 2.

Trump has not yet visited the Kansas City area, but did appear in Wichita last Saturday, the day of the Kansas caucuses.

Missouri is holding its presidential primaries on Tuesday. Democratic presidential candidates Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton currently have no plans to stop in Kansas City before Tuesday.

On Friday, Trump canceled a rally in Chicago because of security concerns after fights broke out and thousands of protesters gathered outside, the Associated Press reported.

KU seeks volunteers for yearly Big Event This year’s Kansas University Big Event is scheduled for 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 16, and organizers are aiming to recruit 4,000 volunteers to work across 400 local job sites.

To precede the annual volunteer event, organizers are planning Do Something Big Week

for March 21 through March 26, a final push to encourage volunteers and community members to sign up.

Students are encouraged to get involved by volunteering individually or with a group, and Lawrence residents will be encouraged to sign

up homes or businesses as potential job sites for Big Event volunteers.

Registration for residents requesting volunteers closes March 29, and registration for volunteers closes April 2.

but that discussions have taken place.

The nonprofit group provided a copy of the 26-page presentation Citigroup Inc. gave in October, highlighting the benefits of using the company to securitize. The document says that bond proceeds have been used for capital projects, endowments, pension funding and working capital.

Ultimately, the more hands you have in it, the more successful it will be.”

— Farm to School coordinator Crystal Hammerschmidt as they filled receptacles with soil and compost.

“I think it’s a really fun opportunity that we get to do this, because not all schools do this,” she said. “It’ll be really fun to watch the plant grow and see how it changes.”

The kids will also get to sample some of the produce once it’s ready, but the garden goes beyond that as well. The Farm to School program was initiated last school year,

funded in part by a nearly $100,000 Healthy Living grant from the Kansas Health Foundation. As part of the program, student work in school gardens is coordinated with health, science and nutrition curriculum in the classroom.

Farm to School, a Kansas Department of Agriculture program, already helps support school gardens at all of Lawrence’s middle schools.

confession and see or hear him express his innocence.

But Haley said the bill still is a good step forward in implementing safeguards against witness misidentification.

“This is a good start towards insuring consistent identification standards,” he said. “I am genuinely glad to see commonsense legislation finally proceed that will improve public participation and accuracy in identification.”

The Innocence Project has studied the problem and says “eyewitness misidentification is the number one contributor to wrongful convictions.”

The nonprofit organization studied 337 cases of wrongful convictions

and found that in 71 percent of them, 238, eyewitness misidentification played a part.

The study found that of the 238 wrongful convictions, 97 actual perpetrators were later identified. They had remained at large, in some cases committing more crimes, and were later convicted of 100 additional crimes including 64 rapes and 17 murders.

“Wrongful conviction is the gravest violation of personal liberty and also poses severe public safety risks, as the real perpetrator could remain on the street,” an Innocence Project news release said.

over legislation that would shift special revenue funds, including the state highway fund and Children’s Initiative Fund, into the state general fund.

Proponents argue the proposal would offer greater transparency and accountability over the use of the funds, but opponents say the ultimate purpose is to allow for the securitization of the tobacco funds.

“This development indicates that Senate Bill 463 is not about transparency or prioritizing, as budget director Sullivan suggested,” said Shannon Cotsoradis, CEO of

Kansas Action for Children.

“Rather, it is a gateway to a much more reckless budget strategy,” Cotsoradis said. “This proposal could decimate Kansas’ early childhood system indefinitely and wreak even more havoc on the state’s already poor fiscal health.

Despite the administration’s claims, it is now apparent this option has been on the table for months.”

Brownback spokeswoman Eileen Hawley said there is no deal or pending legislation to sell tobacco settlement money.

the gardens is given to the school cafeterias, and middle school students also sell some of the fruits and vegetables at local farmers markets.

Although there is always a lot excitement around planting, Hammerschmidt explained the main challenge of all the gardens is having enough committed volunteers to keep them going.

“Ultimately, the more

hands you have in it, the more successful it will be,” Hammerschmidt said.

If parents or teachers are interested in volunteering at a garden at their school, more information is available on the Farm to School website at USD497.org.

Although I think Mom is showing some small signs of mild dementia, she has it pretty much together. Even so, I cannot fix her health issues if she refuses to see her doctor. I am stressed beyond belief and at the end of my rope. I have tried counseling, and although it helped with the frus-

Kids’ picks tonight on Nickelodeon “The Voice” coach Blake Shelton hosts the 2016 Kids’ Choice Awards (7 p.m., Nickelodeon), an annual rite that reflects young viewers’ favorite music, film, television and sports, and bombards them with propaganda for upcoming summer movies. Look for a performance from DNCE. Nick follows up the awards with a sitcom adaptation of “School of Rock” (8:30 p.m.), starring Groundlings comedian Tony Cavalero in the Jack Black role as an unemployed musician who turns nerdy students into members of a guitar-based garage band. In other words, the kind of music that excites the grandparents of the average Nickelodeon viewer.

O Antique music of another vintage is showcased in the HBO special “Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar and Grill” (8 p.m.).

Audra McDonald, a Juilliardtrained soprano and six-time Tony Award winner portrays the doomed and influential jazz singer Billie Holiday in this adaptation of McDonald’s Broadway hit.

Adaptation may be too strong a word. It’s a filmed version of a stage performance before a live audience at a New Orleans cafe.

Set at the end of her long career, “Day” consists of McDonald relating Holiday’s story through disjointed asides between performances of her songs, including “God Bless the Child,” “What a Little Moonlight Can Do,” “Strange Fruit” and “T’aint Nobody’s Biz-ness If I Do.” As neither a musician, nor a music (or stage) critic, I found the performances to straddle that rather awkward line between interpretation and impersonation. There’s a long history of one performer bringing a legend to life on stage; Hal Holbrook as Mark Twain and Robert Morse as Truman Capote come to mind. They gather a power in the intimacy of small theater that gets lost on the small screen.

Last year’s full-throated and expensively produced Bessie Smith biopic seemed right for HBO. This adaptation would be right at home on PBS. Tonight’s other higlights

O Still recovering from se-

rious injuries after the home invasion that killed her father, a young woman fears that the perpetrator may be too close for comfort in the 2016 shocker “The Stepchild” (7 p.m., Lifetime).

O NBA action (7:30 p.m., ABC) between the San Antonio Spurs and the Oklahoma City Thunder.

O Rogers is attacked on “Black Sails” (8 p.m., Starz, TV-MA).

O Ariana Grande hosts and performs on “Saturday Night Live” (10:30 p.m., NBC, TV-14).

Can you offer me some advice? — Stressed Daughter Dear Daughter: The “mild dementia” may be the reason Mom is so stubborn and belligerent toward you. Is your mother eligible to see a visiting nurse?

Check out vnaa.org to find out how to get a trained professional to come to your home and examine your mother.

If the nurse says that Mom needs to see a physician, she may be more likely to listen, and it’s possible that the nurse can contact Mom’s doctor directly.

Then, please check out the Family Caregiver Alliance (caregiver. org). The site offers support and information for caregivers, and can help you find respite care for yourself.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Saturday, March 12: This year when you speak, others hear you loud and clear. Some people might pretend not to get your message, but know that they will. If you are single, you could meet a very romantic individual who catches your heart. If you are attached, keep communication flowing, and your relationship will become stronger.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) +++ You rarely are overly sensitive or demanding, yet you could be at this moment. Tonight: Be willing to chip in.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) +++++ You beam in much more of what you want because a friend finally has dropped his or her defenses. Tonight: Be willing to put yourself on the line.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) +++ A friend’s compliment pleases you, but you’ll wish it came from someone else. Tonight: Adjust your plans.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ++++ Zero in on what you want. Friends surround you and are likely to invite you to join them. Tonight: You are the life of the party.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) +++ Stay on top of a personal matter so that you can devote extra time to an older relative or friend. Tonight: Make it your treat.

Dear Annie: Your advice to “A Daily Reader,” who didn’t like his smile, was wrong. The importance of a smile, especially a toothy one, is an American obsession. In Europe and elsewhere, the product of this emphasis is seen as insincere.

For many of us, our natural smile does not include showing teeth.

Ever notice the huge smilers who show too much teeth and gums? It always looks a little odd to me. But if that is their natural smile, wouldn’t you expect that there are others on the opposite end of the spectrum?

No one’s smile needs to be “fixed.” — Aucun Afficher de Dents (No Teeth on Display) — Send questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or Annie’s Mailbox, P.O. Box 118190 Chicago, IL 60611.

jacquelinebigar.com

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ++++ You could be surprised by how a loved one feels. Tonight: Go for adventure.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ++++ One-on-one relating proves to be a source of satisfaction. You could hit a bump or two.

Tonight: Listen rather than speak.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) +++ Your willingness to defer to others might be more important than you realize. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ++++ You might want to take some much-needed time off. Be sure that you are getting all the facts you need. Tonight: Put your feet up.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ++++ Your naughtiness surprises many people, and it delights others. The child within you breaks out. Tonight: Treat life like a playground.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ++++ Take some time out to shop for an important gift for a special person. Tonight: Say “yes” to a friend’s invitation.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) +++++ Your creativity flows, and you’ll come up with many ideas for a plan that could work for everyone. Tonight: You do not need to go far to have fun.

orphan. Yet Sanders gave an entirely different answer.

3. The Holocaust. What a strange reply — yet it doesn’t seem so to us because it has become increasingly common for American Jews to locate their identity in the Holocaust.

For example, it’s become a growing emphasis in Jewish pedagogy from the Sunday schools to Holocaust studies programs in the various universities. Additionally, Jewish organizations organize visits for young people to the concentration camps of Europe.

The memories created are indelible. And deeply valuable. Indeed, though my own family was largely spared, the Holocaust forms an ineradicable element of my own Jewish consciousness. But I worry about the balance. As Jewish practice, learning and knowledge diminish over time, my concern is that Holocaust memory is emerging as the dominant feature of Jewishness in America.

I worry that a people with a 3,000-year history of creative genius, enriched by intimate relations with every culture from Paris to Patagonia, should be placing such weight on martyrdom — and indeed, for this generation, martyrdom once removed.

I’m not criticizing Sanders.

I credit him with sincerity and authenticity. But it is precisely that sincerity and authenticity — and the implications for future generations — that so concern me. Sanders is 74, but I suspect a growing number of

Charles Krauthammer letters@charleskrauthammer.com

“

I worry that a people with a 3,000-year history of creative genius, enriched by intimate relations with every culture from Paris to Patagonia, should be placing such weight on martyrdom …” generations, this has become the core identity of liberal Judaism. Its central mission is nothing less than to repair the world (“Tikkun olam”).

Which, incidentally, is the answer to the perennial question, “Why is it that Jews vote overwhelmingly Democratic?”

Because, for the majority of Jews, the social ideals of liberalism are the most tangible expressions of their prophetic Jewish faith.

When Sanders was asked about his Jewish identity, I was sure his answer would be some variation of Tikkun. On the stump, he plays the Old Testament prophet railing against the powerful and denouncing their treatment of the widow and the

young Jews would give an answer similar to his.

We must of course remain dedicated to keeping alive the memory and the truth of the Holocaust, particularly when they are under assault from so many quarters. Which is why, though I initially opposed having a Holocaust museum as the sole representation of the Jewish experience in the center of Washington, I came to see the virtue of having so sacred yet vulnerable a legacy placed at the monumental core of — and thus entrusted to the protection of — the most tolerant and open nation on earth.

Nonetheless, there must be balance. It would be a tragedy for American Jews to make the Holocaust the principal legacy bequeathed to their children.

After all, the Jewish people are living through a miraculous age: the rebirth of Jewish sovereignty, the revival of Hebrew (a cultural resurrection unique in human history), the flowering of a new Hebraic culture radiating throughout the Jewish world.

Memory is sacred, but victimhood cannot be the foundation stone of Jewish identity. Traditional Judaism has 613 commandments. The philosopher Emil Fackenheim famously said that the 614th is to deny Hitler any posthumous victories. The reduction of Jewish identity to victimhood would be one such victory. It must not be permitted.

Fritzel support To the editor: I finally took my folks to Rock Chalk Park this week. I’m embarrassed it’s taken me a year to get out there, but I wasn’t disappointed! It’s an amazing facility that’s obviously a huge asset to Lawrence and one in which we should all take great pride!

But I was not surprised by the magnificence of this sports center since it was a Fritzel project. The Fritzel name has always been associated with quality in Lawrence! And to be very blunt, I’m sick and disgusted by all of the Fritzel “bashing” that has become too prevalent in this town.

This generous family has very deep roots in Lawrence, and every generation has worked tirelessly to bring positive growth to our community, a fact that many in Lawrence have obviously forgotten.

Recently the “bashing” has been regarding a sales tax issue. I’m one who believes that in the end, if a mistake was made, the Fritzels will make it right. They always do. But I have to wonder: Where is the positive hype?

Why not publicize the huge profits these Fritzel projects have brought to Lawrence? Projects that draw visitors, and their fat wallets, from across the U.S. to our city! Why not share some positive facts and figures for a change? I dare you!

The Fritzel name has always been associated with quality and excellence and that fact hasn’t changed! If you need a reminder of this, just take a drive around town and refresh your memories.

Jane Ogden Moseley, Lawrence

Safe from KU cuts To the editor: On March 3, the Journal-World reported Kansas University Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little’s response to Gov. Sam Brownback’s decision to lop over $7 million from the KU budget. In the chancellor’s words, “A $7.18 million cut presents significant

challenges and will require difficult decisions moving forward.”

The chancellor is certainly correct.

This sudden reduction in funding requires that tough decisions about prioritizing programs and even personnel positions be made. For those who care about the future of KU, the prospect of reading many articles about the damaging effects of budget cuts is painful.

But there are those who have no cause for concern about what cuts the chancellor will decide to make.

They are the Chinese Communist Party officials in Beijing who are running the CCP’s global Confucius Institute program. For 10 years KU has faithfully served as a propaganda partner of the CCP in their joint operation of the KU Confucius Institute. Chancellor Gray-Little and other KU administrators have repeatedly expressed support for this partnership. As a result, CCP officials have no reason to worry about the Journal-World publishing this headline: KU Closes Confucius Institute; Chinese Communist Party Agents Return Home.

This is not right. When Chancellor Gray-Little maintains funding for the CCP’s KU Confucius Institute, as she undoubtedly will, she should also explain why serving the CCP, by operating the KU Confucius Institute, is more important than those programs and positions she will be cutting or eliminating.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for March 12, 1916: “The New York alumni of the University of Kansas will stage a new kind of reunion April 7. They have made arrangeyears ments for a telephone connection from New ago York to San Francisco with Lawrence listenIN 1916 ing in on the line, and the first transcontinental K. U. reunion will be held. Eugene Alder, president of the New York alumni, is one of the main movers in the scheme, and Nels C. Benson, ‘02, who holds a prominent position with the American Telephone & Telegraph company, was largely instrumental in securing the use of the trans-continental wire. The reunion by wire will start at 9 o’clock in the evening in New York. That will be 8 o’clock here and 6 o’clock in San Francisco. Chancellor Frank Strong, who will remain in Lawrence, will be the chief speaker at the New York reunion.... The University alumni are to have use of the wire for forty-five minutes. L. N. Flint, the secretary of the alumni association, will make arrangements for a Lawrence end of the reunion.”

Outsourcing Oreos draws ire of White House hopefuls Nabisco parent’s plan to shift work to Mexico will cost hundreds of U.S. jobs Aamer Madhani USA TODAY

Nabisco, the maker of the iconic cream-filled Oreo, has proudly touted itself as the maker of “America’s favorite cookie.”

But in the midst of a heated presidential race, the company — a division of the global snack behemoth Mondelez International that reaped more than $30 billion in revenue last year — finds itself in the crosshairs of three White House hopefuls who have criticized the company for its plans to CHICAGO

TYLER MALLORY, USA TODAY

Michael Smith, a factory worker at Chicago’s Nabisco plant, holds the layoff notice he received from Mondelez.

lay off hundreds of workers in Chicago as it shifts some North American production to an upgraded plant in Salinas, Mexico.

The company, which also has marketed the Oreo as the “world’s favorite cookie,” will begin laying off 600 workers at its Chicago bakery on March 21. The cuts come as Mondelez shifts work to four new cookie and cracker production lines in Mexico, a $130 million investment expected to be completed by the middle of this year.

Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton and the Bernie Sanders campaign have pointed to the move, which the company says will save it $46 million annually, as emblematic of the problem of big corporations offshoring of American jobs.

“It’s going to have a profound effect on the local economy here.

We’re talking about 600 jobs.”

Nate Ze Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers union organizer

Pointed criticism of Nabisco by Clinton, Sanders and Trump comes as all three candidates have put greater emphasis on trade issues as they attempt to make their cases to blue collar workers ahead of Tuesday’s primaries in manufacturing-heavy Illinois and Ohio.

For months, the Republican front-runner Trump has knocked the decision by the company, which has baked cookies and crackers at a mammoth facility on

Chicago’s Southwest Side since the early 1950s.

Trump, who once served as pitchman for the Oreo brand, vowed to boycott the cookie because of the company’s decision.

Former first lady remembered for her devotion to husband

Rosalie Murphy

The (Palm Springs, Calif.) Desert Sun SIMI VALLEY, CALIF. Former first lady Nancy Reagan was remembered Friday as a tough but caring woman whose love for her husband ran deep.

Hundreds of friends and dignitaries attended her funeral Friday, which began with the singing of The Battle Hymn of the Republic and ended with pallbearers carrying her casket while bagpipers played Amazing Grace.

Reagan, 94, will be laid to rest just a few feet from her husband, former president Ronald Reagan, on a hilltop buffeted by Pacific winds. She died Sunday of congestive heart failure at her Los

Angeles-area home.

“As a couple, they were more than the sum of their parts,” Ronald Prescott Reagan said of his parents. “Her absolute belief in him gave him the chutzpah to run for office.”

The service was set atop a bluff on the west side of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library with sweeping views of ranch land and greenish-brown brush. Clouds rolled in from the ocean, threatening rain.

During the private service, Nancy Reagan’s casket, covered in flowers, sat in front of those who had gathered. Speakers included veteran television journalists Diane Sawyer and Tom Brokaw; President Reagan’s former chief of staff, James Baker; and the

couple’s daughter, Patti Davis.

“This is not a tragedy,” the Reagans’ son, Ron Reagan, said. “This is a celebration.”

In attendance Friday were first lady Michelle Obama; former president George W. Bush and his wife, former first lady Laura Bush; former first lady Rosalynn Carter; and former first lady Hillary Clinton.

Other guests included former Reagan administration official Ed Meese, Katie Couric, Larry King, Mike Love of the Beach Boys, TV writer and producer Norman Lear, Steve Ford, son of former president Gerald Ford, actor Tom Selleck and singer Johnny Mathis. The Rev. Stuart Kenworthy, vicar of Washington National Cathedral, officiated.

CHICAGO — Donald Trump, the Republican presidential nominee front-runner, postponed his rally Friday night due to growing concerns over protesters at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Organizers announced that the rally had been canceled shortly after 6:30 p.m. as police had ejected at least a half dozen antiTrump protesters from the UIC Pavilion.

“This is ridiculous,” Tom Keevers, a Trump supporter from the city’s North Side, said after the cancellation was announced over the loudspeaker.

“I’m a conservative. You wouldn’t see conservatives shutting down a Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders rally!”

Trump never made it to the arena Friday night. He cited security concerns to explain the decision to cancel the rally, telling news networks he found protesters to be violent.

Trump was asked to respond to criticisms about violent comments he’s made on the campaign trail — saying an anti-Trump protester at another one of his rallies should have been “roughed up” — and how that compares to his claims that protesters are the violent ones.

“I certainly don’t incite violence,” Trump told CNN’s Don Lemon in a telephone interview.

Police quickly cleared the arena, where thousands had gathered, while hundreds more protested outside.

The protesters chanted, and there appeared to be a few tussles between Trump supporters and the protesters.

Love it or hate it, here comes daylight saving time Feds say it saves lives, money; not all agree Doyle Rice USA TODAY

Just like allergies, college basketball and mud, another rite of spring is upon us: The start of daylight saving time, which begins at 2 a.m. Sunday.

At that moment (or the night before), the few analog clocks still around need to “spring forward” an hour, turning 1:59:59 a.m. into 3 a.m. Since most of our computers, phones and DVRs do it auto-

matically, it’s not as much of a chore as it used to be.

Starting Sunday, one hour of daylight is switched from morning to evening. We go back to standard time on Sunday, Nov. 6.

Credit — or blame — for the biannual shift goes back to Benjamin Franklin, who published “An Economical Project for Diminishing the Cost of Light” in a 1784 journal after he noticed that people burned candles at night but slept past dawn.

But he never saw his plan put into action. The U.S. first implemented daylight saving during World War I as a way to conserve fuel. In 1966, President Lyndon

Johnson signed the Uniform Time Act into law.

Under the act, states and territories can opt out of daylight saving. It isn’t observed in Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and most of Arizona.

The U.S. Department of Transportation is in “charge” of daylight saving time in the U.S. According to folks there, switching to daylight saving time reduces energy use, saves lives by preventing traffic accidents and decreases crime.

Studies disagree: One Finnish study found a spike in heart attacks during the first week of the

new time. Researchers associated the results with sleep deprivation, which affects heart health.

A Canadian researcher found a 5% to 7% increase in fatal crashes in the three days after the switch.

Other studies have found a similar increase in accidents when we get that hour back in the fall.

The energy savings may be mythical as well: Researchers found switching to daylight saving uses 1% less energy for lighting but 2% to 3% more for

heating and air-conditioning.

Getting ready for the switch is advisable: “I think you should start imagining it’s daylight saving on Friday,” James MacFarlane of the Toronto Sleep Institute told the Weather Network. “(T)hen you have two days to grow accustomed to it and you’re less likely to get into problems Monday morning,” he said.

German Environmental war is elections being waged in Amazonia a test for Merkel

Oil exploration, road building, logging have had disastrous impact

Vote in three states a referendum on migrants policy Kim Hjelmgaard

Kamilia Lahrichi

USA TODAY

Special for USA TODAY AMAZONIA ,

Indigenous communities in the Amazonian rainforest believe nature has a spirit.

Trees, flowers and plants have as much importance as human lives in Ecuador’s rainforest, possibly the most biologically diverse place on the planet.

“To take down a tree is like killing a grandfather,” said Humberto Javier Piaguaje Lucitante, an indigenous leader from the Secoya tribe living in the town of Lago Agrio at the edge of the Amazonia.

As he makes his way through the humid jungle with a silver stick, he explains that nature is “an ancient wealth” for locals.

Things started to change in the 1960s, when oil operations kicked off. Today, Ecuador has “the worst environmental record in South America,” according to Mongabay, a U.S.-based news website that covers the environment.

“Oil exploration, logging and road building have had a disastrous impact on Ecuador’s primary rainforests, which now cover less than 15% of the country’s land mass,” Mongabay reported.

The Latin American country has been the battleground between indigenous and environmentalist groups on one side and governments and corporations drilling for oil into the Amazonia on the other in a legal wrangling of great international sprawl.

For almost two decades, Ecuadorean lawyers and activists have sued Chevron, the secondlargest oil company in the USA, for allegedly dumping billions of gallons of crude residue into looms and waterways from which locals drink.

The plaintiffs speak for about 30,000 indigenous people.

Although Chevron never operated in Ecuador, the subsidiary it acquired in 2001, Texaco PetroECUADOR

Ecuador has been the battleground between indigenous and environmentalist groups on one side and governments and corporations drilling for oil into the Amazonia on the other in a legal wrangling of great international sprawl. leum, did for 30 years.

In the latest twist, the International Court of Justice noted in January 2016 that the Ecuadorean government was responsible for freeing Texaco Petroleum from liability for oil pollution claims when it left Ecuador in 1992. The government certified that the oil company carried out a cleanup of oil production sites.

Chevron applauded the decision.

“It is shameful that Ecuador’s government, calculating lawyers and deceitful activist groups continue to mislead the public about who is truly responsible for the environmental conditions in the Amazon,” said Morgan Crinklaw, spokesperson for Chevron. “The Ecuadorian judgment has been found by a U.S. federal court to be nothing more than a fraud. Chevron will continue to defend the company, expose the truth and hold the perpetrators of this fraud accountable.”

The U.S. federal court found the Ecuadorian judgment against Chevron to be fraudulent in March 2014.

The oil giant pointed to the “unethical action by the plaintiffs” lawyers. If they win the case, they could collect $9.5 billion in damages for environmen-

tal contamination — Ecuador’s Supreme Court ordered it in 2012.

“Had the oil spill occurred in the U.S., it could have proceeded much faster because it would not have involved a trip to the courts of another country,” said Michael Gerrard, a professor who teaches a course on environmental law at Columbia Law School.

The Chevron case has lasted so long “because this is the litigation strategy of Chevron to prolong the case as long as possible,” said David Hunter, director of the International Legal Studies Program at American University.

“Chevron has an overwhelming amount of resources for litigation and has employed a strategy knowing that delays are always in their favor.”

“We live in a paradise, and we do not want to keep seeing it being destroyed,” said Bartholome Baptista Chiwango Parilia, a Kichwa leader living in Yacuma, about an hour’s drive from the city of Tena in Ecuador’s eastern province and a 30-minute trip on a canoe through the rainforest.

BERLIN Chancellor Angela Merkel faces a voter backlash in elections Sunday over her open-door policy that has allowed a flood of migrants to settle in Germany.

The vote in three German states is the first electoral test for Merkel, 61, before national parliamentary elections next year.

The chancellor allowed more than 1 million migrants fleeing wars and poverty to enter Europe’s largest GETTY IMAGES economy to apAngela ply for asylum, a move that has Merkel put her at odds with many members of her conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party and alienated large swaths of the public.

The parliamentary elections in Baden-Württemberg, RhinelandPalatinate and Saxony-Anhalt have been labeled “Super Sunday,” a nod to the “Super Tuesday” presidential primary elections and caucuses in the U.S. More than 12 million of Germany’s 62 million eligible voters may cast ballots. The last public opinion polls before the vote showed a surge in support for Alternative for Deutschland (AfD), a populist, anti-immigrant party.

It shocked Germans earlier this year when its leader Frauke Petry, 40, said police may need to shoot migrants at the border.

Merkel said the AfD “does not bring society together and offers no appropriate solutions but only stokes prejudices and divisions.”

The German news weekly Der Spiegel put the AfD’s leader Petry on its cover last week next to the words “The preachers of hate.”

While the AfD does not have seats in the national parliament, the Bundestag, it could gain as many as eight seats in state parliaments, up from five now.

Chicago turns sour on ‘America’s favorite cookie’ v CONTINUED FROM 1B

primary victories this week in Michigan and Mississippi.

“They’re moving to Mexico.”

Sanders recently dispatched Larry Cohen, a campaign adviser and former president of the Communications Workers of America, to meet with workers and union leaders for the Chicago plant.

And Clinton in recent days singled out Nabisco on the stump when critiquing corporate America.

In 1993, the company was promised nearly $90 million in tax incentives and subsidies after it agreed to remain in Chicago and pass up a chance to move to Mexico. The government incentives won by food and tobacco giant RJR Nabisco — which was one of the forerunners to Mondelez — have buttressed the criticism by the Trump, Clinton and Sanders campaigns.

“You know, when a company decides to leave like Nabisco is leaving and they have gotten tax benefits from Chicago and Illinois to stay there, I will claw back the benefits,” Clinton vowed in a debate in Flint, Mich., last week.

“They will have to pay them back if they are leaving a place that actually invested in them.”

CEO Irene Rosenfeld appeared at a forum on Thursday sponsored

by The Economist as dozens of Chicago factory workers protested outside the event and encouraged passersby to buy only Nabisco snacks made in the USA. Rosenfeld did not address the protests or the criticism from presidential candidates during the forum. The company declined to make her available for comment.

Mondelez says the candidates are inaccurately suggesting that they are leaving Chicago. The company will still have about 600 workers, about half of the current employee headcount, at their bakery on the city’s Southwest Side.

The company says that it con-

sidered building the new factory lines in Chicago, but opted not to because of the $46 million cost gap between operating in Chicago and Salinas, Mexico.

Laurie Guzzinati, a spokeswoman for Mondelez, said the Chicago Nabisco bakery will continue to be one of the company’s largest facilities in terms of number of employees, even after the layoffs, but will no longer make Oreo cookies once the new factory lines are up and running in Mexico.

Oreo and other Nabisco snacks made at the newly installed factory lines at the Mexico plant will be sold in the North America market, but the famous cookie will also continue to be made at U.S. facilities in New Jersey, Oregon and Virginia. Beyond the U.S. and Mexico, Oreos are also made in 16 other countries for sale in international markets.

The Deerfield, Ill.-based Mondelez said it did not have data on what percentage of Oreo cookies — which earned $2.5 billion in revenue worldwide for the company in 2014 — will be made in Mexico and then sold in the U.S. “Even if the investment would have been made in Chicago, there would have been an impact to positions at that bakery,” Guzzinati said. The company would have cut about 300 workers because the new factory lines were more efficient than the current ones and require fewer workers to operate, she said.

Nate Zeff, an organizer for the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers (BCTGM) International Union, said that the call by Mondelez — which paid $21 million to Rosenfeld, the company’s CEO, last year — for $46 million in concessions from workers was seen as a slap in the face.

“It’s going to have a profound effect on the local economy here,” Zeff said of the impending layoffs.

“We’re talking about 600 jobs.

TYLER MALLORY FOR USA TODAY

Leonard Aiello, right, with union organizer Elce Redmond, will see his job as an ingredients mixer at Nabisco end March 21.

(It’s) not just those 600 families who are going to be deeply affected. That’s millions of dollars that’s going to be stripped away from the economy here.”

White House hopefuls hammering big corporations for sending jobs overseas is hardly new.

In his 2012 reelection effort, President Obama’s campaign derided Mitt Romney as the “outsourcer-in-chief” because the private equity company he founded, Bain Capital, owned companies that sent jobs to China, India and other countries.

John Kerry in his unsuccessful 2004 campaign, colorfully promised to “repeal every benefit, every loophole, every reward that entices any Benedict Arnold company or CEO to take money and jobs overseas.”

Independent candidate Ross Perot famously predicted in 1992 a “giant sucking sound” of jobs flowing into Mexico if his Democratic and Republican rivals got

their way and passed the North American Free Trade Agreement.

(President Bill Clinton signed the trade agreement into law in 1993.)

But the debate over trade has reached a fevered pitch unseen in previous campaigns, according to analysts.

Trump, who has also taken aim at Indianapolis-based air conditioner manufacturer Carrier and Ford Motor Co. for outsourcing jobs to Mexico, has vowed to put every trade deal on the table for renegotiation. Sanders lashed out against “race to the bottom” policies that he says force American workers to compete against lowwage workers overseas. Clinton, who backed the stalled Trans-Pacific Partnership as Obama’s secretary of State, backed away from it once she became a White House candidate.

“The rhetoric isn’t new, but it’s a lot more intense this time,” said Gary Hufbauer, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for Inter-

national Economics. “And you have a surprising unanimity of the top candidates on what I would call the anti-trade, anti-foreign investment rhetoric, which the talk about Nabisco falls into.”

For the 277 workers already notified they will lose their jobs in the first wave of layoffs on March 21, the news has been difficult to swallow.

Michael Smith, 58, joined the company more than four years ago after he was laid off from a job at DHL. The $25 per hour job at the Chicago Nabisco plant afforded him the trappings of a middleclass life — the ability to keep up with the mortgage in a tidy suburban subdivision, help his youngest daughter pay for college and eat out once a week with his wife.

Smith said he was also drawn to the job by the idea of making some of America’s most wellknown snacks. He assumed that working for a company that made more than $30 billion would provide a measure of job security in his final working years before retirement.

“There are multiple generations … that have facilitated the making of this product,” said Smith, who has made belVita breakfast biscuits, Honey Maid Honey Grahams and Oreos during his years working the graveyard shift at the company. “You got nearly 60, 70 years of this being manufactured right here in this community. Then to take the revenue and yank it away and suck out the very lifeblood of a community and a people … I think it is very disheartening.”

Jim Capraro, a longtime activist who grew up near the factory, recalled the sweet scent that the Nabisco plant provided his neighborhood.

After Mondelez announced their plans, Capraro said he swore off Nabisco treats.

“They don’t see themselves as an American brand anymore,” he said.

Carson throws support to Trump GOP front-runner says it’s sign of unity David M. Jackson USA TODAY

BEACH ,

FLA .

Donald Trump said Friday that winning the endorsement of former rival Ben Carson is part of his effort to unite the party around his stillcontentious candidacy.

“It adds total credence to what I’m trying to do,” Trump said in introducing Carson during a news conference Friday morning.

The retired neurosurgeon who dropped out of the Republican race said there are “two Donald Trumps”: The one you see on stage, and the more “cerebral,” private person who will emerge as the fall campaign approaches.

“He is actually a very intelligent man who cares very deeply about America,” Carson said.

Ben Carson, left, says there are two sides to presidential candidate Donald Trump.

Last year, when Carson ascended to near the top of some Republican polls, Trump attacked him vehemently — but the two men said they resolved their issues during talks in recent days.

“We buried the hatchet,” Carson said. “That was political stuff.” Said Trump: “It’s politics.”

Trump and his remaining rivals — Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and John Kasich — all are working toward a major set of primaries Tuesday.

The Carson endorsement ceremony came the morning after a more genteel Republican debate — another sign, Trump said, of the party coming together.

“It was fun, it was different,” Trump said of the debate.

Other candidates questioned whether Republicans would ever rally around Trump, given his insulting manner and past support for Democrats. Rubio, the Florida senator who is trying to win his home state primary against Trump on Tuesday, said Trump’s nomination would fracture the party and gut its chances to win the fall elections.

“There is a very significant number of Republicans that will never vote for him,” Rubio said on CBS’ This Morning. “And you can’t win unless the party’s united.”

rell wasn’t talking about climate change, and neither were Defense Department officials.

T

he debate, hosted by CNN, was held Thursday in Miami, days before Florida’s primary on Tuesday. The four GOP presidential candidates stretched the facts:

uBusinessman Donald Trump wrongly claimed the Obama administration isn’t “knocking out the oil” controlled by the Islamic State in Syria because of climate change concerns. The administration, which stepped up attacks on oil facilities, hasn’t cited climate change. Instead, it has cited concern about long-term economic harm and local environmental damage. uTrump and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz disagreed over whether Cruz had waffled on his opposition to ethanol mandates. Trump was wrong, and Cruz was right. uCruz claimed President Obama sent a bust of Winston Churchill back to the United Kingdom when he took office. The bust had been loaned to President George W. Bush, and a replica still is at the White House. uSen. Marco Rubio dismissed a question about man-made climate change, saying, “The climate has always been changing.”

But scientists say there is ample evidence humans are contributing to climate change. Rubio also falsely claimed passing policies such as the Clean Power Act would have “zero” impact on the environment. uTrump incorrectly referred to Common Core as “education through Washington, D.C.” and claimed Common Core has been “taken over by the federal government.” The education standards were developed by the states, and the curriculum will continue to be managed at the state and local level. uTrump wrongly said the U.S. gross domestic product was at “zero, essentially.” Real GDP grew at a rate of 2% in the third quarter of 2015 and 1% in the fourth quarter. uTrump, Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich repeated several claims we’ve checked before — including Trump’s claim to be selffunding his campaign (he has taken $7.5 million in donations); Kasich’s boast on job creation (Ohio’s growth trails the national rate); Cruz’s claim about welfare benefits for immigrants in the country illegally (they’re already barred from most government benefits); and more. uTrump also said the 1,237 delegate count needed to secure the party’s nomination was “a very random number.” It’s actually a simple majority of the total available delegates, 2,472.

TRUMP ON OIL AND CARBON FOOTPRINT

Trump falsely claimed the Obama administration isn’t “knocking out the oil” controlled by the Islamic State in Syria, “because of what it’s going to do to the carbon footprint.”

Administration officials have not cited climate change as a reason for not attacking oil controlled by the Islamic State.

Instead, they have expressed concern that air strikes against oil and natural gas facilities will cause long-term economic and local environmental damage that could hurt Syria’s post-war recovery.

Even so, the military stepped up attacks on oil facilities controlled by the Islamic State when it launched “Operation Tidal Wave II” on Oct. 21, 2015.

Trump made his remark when he was asked whether he would send ground troops to fight the terrorist group, which is also known as ISIS. Trump: “We’re not knocking out the oil because they don’t want to create environmental pollution up in the air. I mean, these are things that nobody even believes. They think we’re kidding. They didn’t want to knock out the oil because of what it’s going to do to the carbon footprint.”

Trump has been a vocal proponent of bombing the oil fields, since his campaign began in June.

As we wrote in November, the administration initially had been cool to his call to “attack the oil” controlled by ISIS. But it was disclosed in a New York Times story on Nov. 12 — a day before the terrorist attacks carried out by ISIS

TRUMP VS. CRUZ ON ETHANOL

CRAIG RUBADOUX, FLORIDA TODAY

Ted Cruz waves to the crowd during the Republican debate Thursday in Miami.

in Paris — that the U.S. military launched “Operation Tidal Wave II” to increase the intensity of attacks on ISIS-controlled oil.

Col. Steve Warren, a Defense Department spokesman, said at a Nov. 13, 2015, press conference that the strikes against ISIS-controlled oil infrastructure until mid-October had been largely ineffective because damages were minor and quickly repaired. But that changed with the start of Operation Tidal Wave II, which was designed to inflict damage for one year, not just a few days.

Warren explained the difficulty of inflicting enough damage to cut off ISIS’ oil revenues without causing long-term damage that could hurt a post-war recovery.

So where did Trump get the idea that the administration won’t “knock out the oil because of what it’s going to do to the carbon footprint”? We suspect it is from a widely reported — and since distorted — interview that former CIA Director Michael Morell gave to Charlie Rose on Nov. 24, 2015.

In that interview, Morell said: “There seemed to have been a judgment that, look, we don’t want to destroy these oil tankers because that’s infrastructure that’s going to be necessary to support the people when ISIS isn’t there anymore, and it’s going to create environmental damage.”

Although Morell mentioned the same economic and environmental concerns expressed by Defense Department officials, news accounts focused on the environmental concerns. But Mo-

Cruz said he bravely opposed ethanol mandates in Iowa where they are popular with corn growers, but Trump accused him of waffling on that issue.

Cruz: “When I went to Iowa and campaigned against ethanol mandates, everyone said that was political suicide. You can’t take on ethanol in Iowa. …”

Trump: “If you look back to Iowa, Ted did change his view and his stance on ethanol quite a bit.

He did and — at the end. Not full on, but he did change his view in the hopes of maybe doing well. …

It was a front page story all over the place, and he did make a change.”

Trump is wrong about this.

During the run-up to Iowa’s firstin-the-nation presidential caucuses, Cruz publicly defended his long-standing opposition to the federal requirement that increasing amounts of ethanol be blended into gasoline sold at the pump.

In 2013, Cruz was one of 18 cosponsors of a bill to repeal immediately the so-called “renewable fuels standard” — a bill fiercely opposed by corn growers. The following year Cruz sponsored his own broader energy bill, which would phase out the RFS over five years rather than repealing it instantly.

It’s true that at one point along the Iowa campaign trail, Cruz gave an artfully worded response to an ethanol investor, expressing support for the RFS through 2022. That led to some reports that Cruz had changed his position and was now supporting the ethanol mandate, effectively caving in to the corn lobby.

But in fact, Cruz was simply soft-pedaling his call for a phaseout of the mandate, and at least one reporter then corrected himself. Cruz quickly reiterated his opposition to the ethanol mandate in a Jan. 6 op-ed piece in The Des Moines Register, saying, “We should phase out the Renewable Fuel Standard, end all energy subsidies, and ensure a level playing field for everyone.”

To be sure, Cruz dressed up his call for ending RFS under a headline, “I’m fighting for farmers against Washington.” But the position he stated was the same as laid out in his 2014 legislation.

MONEYLINE PORSCHE EXPECTS FLAT PROFITS IN 2016 The Volkswagen Group brand is projecting flat earnings for 2016, although the financial performance is expected to remain strong overall. The luxury automotive brand said Friday its revenue would rise “slightly” but earnings would “reach the same level” as 2015. One factor dragging earnings is a multibilliondollar investment in the Mission E electric vehicle, which is viewed as Porsche’s response to Tesla Motors’ popular Model S electric sedan. The brand sold more than 225,000 vehicles globally in 2015, up 19%.

uns, taxes and drug companies’ profits may incite or even outrage voters. Drug companies’ profits, though, excite investors.

Profits jumped 17.3% at companies in the pharmaceuticals, biotechnology and life sciences tools and services industries in the Standard & Poor’s 500 last year based on just-released financials, according to a USA TODAY analysis of adjusted profit data from S&P Global Market Intelligence.

That’s an impressive jump in profit given that the S&P 500 saw its bottom line shrink 0.6% on the same basis in 2015. It’s also faster profit growth than any of the 10 major industry sectors, with the consumer discretionary sector the only one even remotely close at 11.8%.

Much of the industry’s soaring profit is due to biotech. Adjusted profit in the biotech industry last year hit 37.5%, compared with 9% profit growth

at traditional pharmaceuticals firms, S&P Global says.

Normally, such jumps in profit would be celebrated. But given the fire the drug industry is under from presidential candidates in both major parties, the S&P 500 pharmaceuticals, biotechnology & life sciences industry index is down 7% the past 12 months. Drugmakers’ profits have become a lightning rod — especially after the widely reported price increase of a lifesaving drug by investor and former drug company CEO Martin Shkreli last year.

“Campaign rhetoric creates a rain cloud over these companies, even with the profit growth, which makes it harder for them to perform,” says Karl Mills, vice chairman at money management firm Jurika, Mills and Keifer.

Some of the growth at individual drug companies is outright stellar. Gilead Sciences, a Foster City, Calif.-based biotech company, reported nearly 56% adjusted profit growth in 2015, the highest among the 20 biotech and pharmaceuticals companies in the S&P 500. That

Drug companies like Gilead are driving strong profit growth from “high demand for innovative products, strong pricing power and the ability to cut costs effectively when all else fails,” Andersen says.

It’ll be difficult for some of these companies to keep up what she calls “unsustainable” growth, especially in hotly contested areas such as diabetes, multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis drugs. Gilead’s adjusted profit per share is forecast to fall 3% this year, analysts polled by S&P Global say.

Despite the outcry over profits, Andersen says it’s too soon for investors to worry.

Drugmakers’ stocks are up more than 45% over the past three years, Mills notes. “We will consume more health care — no matter where regulatory storms blow,” he says.

IEA: Oil ‘might have bottomed out’ Declining gap between supply, demand cited Nathan Bomey USA TODAY

Oil prices continued their steady upward tick Friday after the International Energy Agency said in a report that “prices might have bottomed out.”

Although the global glut of oil persists, the IEA said signs point to falling production in the U.S. and a reduced outlook in nations outside the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries.

Taken together, the factors point to a declining gap between supply and demand, the IEA said.

It projected that oversupply will fall to 0.2 million barrels per day by the third quarter, down from 1.9 million barrels per day in the first quarter.

Heartened traders drove up the price of West Texas Intermediate crude oil by 1.7% on Friday to close at $38.50, while the price of Brent crude, the global benchmark, rose 0.8% to $40.39.

The IEA said reduced production in the U.S., Brazil, Colombia and other non-OPEC nations is contributing to the positive trend for oil prices.

“Of course, there is no guarantee that this trend will continue, but there are clear signs that market forces — ahead of any production-restraint initiative — are working their magic and higher-

cost producers are cutting output,” the agency said.

Still, traders shouldn’t expect a massive surge in oil prices, which are already up from 12-year lows

of less than $30 set this year.

Goldman Sachs analyst Damien Courvalin said Friday in a report that “storage constraints and a still large oversupply in coming months” will keep prices between $25 per barrel and $45 per barrel in the second quarter.

“Better global growth sentiment, growing indications of future supply rationalization and tentative signs that the decline in U.S. production is accelerating have all fueled a steady recovery in oil prices,” Courvalin said.

“While this may be perceived as the inflection point of the oil market, we reiterate our view that oil prices need to remain low for longer, as the oil and capital market rebalancing are only beginning.”

AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch David Craig @davidgcraig USA TODAY

Wall Street appears to have regained its mojo, with stocks in one month going from the brink of a bear market to their highest point this year.

But that’s not where the real action is. Oil, which had been the biggest black hole in terms of an asset class, has come roaring back in a big way.

Friday, the price of U.S.-produced crude rose 1.7% to $38.50 a barrel after the International Energy Agency said in a report that global oil “prices might have bottomed out.”

That was welcome news to financial markets that had seen oil fall to 13-year lows in early February on worries of swelling global supplies and weak demand.

Stock down, but outlook is good for chicken chain Q: Is it crazy to invest in El Pollo Loco?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: El Pollo Loco sizzled from the start, as shares of the grilled chicken chain jumped on their first day of trading in 2014. The stock has been driving investors crazy since then.

El Pollo Loco, which means “The Crazy Chicken” in Spanish, has turned cold for investors. Shares have lost more than a third of their value over the past 12 months.

The stock dropped an additional $1.24, or 8%, to $13.89 Friday after the company reported 4% lower quarterly revenue of $86.3 million. The disappointing and lower revenue overshadowed the fact that the company’s adjusted earnings per share rose 7% and were better than expected.

El Pollo Loco’s business took a hit last year when it attempted to drive prices higher and cut back on value menus.

Since then, the $5 menu featuring combination meals has been brought back.

Analysts are forecasting the company to get back on the growth track. Revenue is expected to rise 11% this year to $394 million and profit is expected to rise nearly 3% to 73 cents a share, says S&P Global Market Intelligence.

Shares aren’t cheap, trading for 23 times earnings over the past 12 months.

But analysts think the return to growth makes the stock a “buy.”

General Motors buys self-driving car software company Kaja Whitehouse and Nathan Bomey USA TODAY

General Motors said Friday it has turbocharged its effort to win the self-driving car race with an acquisition.

The automaker — which is racing against tech giants Google and Apple, not to mention traditional car makers — said it has purchased San Francisco-based Cruise Automation, a software company dedicated entirely to self-driving car technology.

The Detroit-based manufacNEW YORK

ALEX WONG, GETTY IMAGES

CEO Mary Barra says GM must be agile to keep up.

turer declined to say how much it paid for the start-up, which has backing from Silicon Valley venture investors Y Combinator and

Signia Venture Partners. But the acquisition suggests GM is shifting into high gear when it comes to rolling out cars that will either largely or entirely move through traffic using sensors and other technology.

“We have a timeline that we are not announcing today, but I will say we are moving very, very fast,” Kyle Vogt, founder of Cruise Automation, told USA TODAY of the integration and testing of Cruise’s software in GM vehicles.

GM CEO Mary Barra has vowed to keep the automaker ahead in the self-driving car race, acknowledging that the company

must be agile and willing to adapt its business model to survive the coming auto industry revolution.

GM is already developing selfdriving versions of the Chevrolet Volt semi-electric vehicle on its sprawling Tech Center campus in Warren, Mich. The company also plans to introduce automated technology that will allow a new Cadillac to steer itself on the highway later this year.

The company recently invested $500 million in ride-hailing firm Lyft. Experts predict that selfdriving cars will first catch on with ride-hailing and taxi companies like Lyft and Uber before

consumers begin buying them.

Ford Motor, Tesla, Toyota and other companies are also developing cars that will drive themselves. Friday, Ford announced the creation of a subsidiary, Ford Smart Mobility, a unit dedicated to building new smart technology for cars, including autonomous cars.

GM expects to close the Cruise Automation deal in the second quarter. GM global product chief Mark Reuss said the company plans “to invest significantly” in Cruise’s team, suggesting the investment in Cruise is far from over with Friday’s acquisition.

NEW YORK A few years ago, Rita Wilson had a fateful meeting with singer/songwriter Kara DioGuardi. Both had played the aspirational temptress Roxie Hart in the long-running Broadway revival of Chicago, and the production’s dance captain thought they’d hit it off.

“I was in awe of her talent,” Wilson says of DioGuardi. “I told her, ‘God, I wish I could write a song.’ She said, ‘What makes you think you can’t? ... Do you have things you want to say? Do you have an idea for a song?’ ”

Rita Wilson and Tom Hanks have been married since 1988, and they have two children.

Wilson did: “I told her, ‘It has to do with being grateful,’ ” she says, chatting before a recent performance at the landmark Café Carlyle. What else would you expect from Tom Hanks’ wife of more than 25 years?

Thus began the process that led to the actress/singer/producer’s self-titled album, out Friday, featuring a track called Grateful (co-written with DioGuardi and Jason Reeves) and songs crafted with other noted country and pop tunesmiths.

Wilson’s sweet, lightly smoky voice will be familiar to those who heard her 2012 debut AM/ FM, a collection of favorite tunes from the ’60s and ’70s. But writing new songs also provided Wilson, 59, with an outlet “for everything I was feeling and going through emotionally” — and gratitude notwithstanding, it wasn’t all cheerful.

Last spring, shortly after returning to Broadway in Larry David’s hit comedy A Fish In the

Wilson’s self-titled album was out Friday.

And she’s the producer of My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2, in theaters March 25.

Dark, Wilson discovered she had breast cancer. She took a leave from the play to have a double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery, resuming her role as David’s character’s wife after about a month.

Now cancer-free, Wilson credits Hanks with helping her through the ordeal. “We actually managed to laugh a lot,” she says, as they have throughout one of modern Hollywood’s most famously resilient unions.

“Part of it is that Tom and I weren’t babies when we met,” Wilson says. “And my parents infused in me a great sense of commitment and the importance of family. Tom came from broken marriages on both sides of his family, and I think he was really seeking that (commitment). And we both want to be married; you

make it work because you really want it to work.”

Wilson will set domestic comforts aside temporarily to launch her first national tour March 29.

(She’ll perform songs from both her albums when she appears on music series The Kate, streaming March 19 and beginning to air on public television stations.) My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2, the sequel to the film smash that launched her producing career, is out March 25. “I have a small part in it now; so does John Stamos.

We had to get in as many Greeks as we could.”

Another Broadway engagement may be in the cards as well.

“I’d love to originate a role in a musical. Hopefully something like that will come about.”

There are still limits, though, to the challenges this multitasking cancer survivor and lateblooming songwriter will tackle.

“My youngest son is licensed to skydive,” Wilson says. “He jumps out of planes, and he wants me to go with him. I’m like, ‘I don’t know — maybe?’ It feels like I’m taking enough of a leap right now.”

TELEVISION

MAKING WAVES Rebel Wilson issued cautionary tweets late Thursday: Keep an eye on your drink. She thinks her beverage was spiked at an unnamed GETTY IMAGES club in Los Angeles. She barely made it home and woke up feeling like she’d been “hit by a truck.” She “never thought it would happen to me.”

Clues to ‘Game of Thrones’ Season 6 does not look as if he’s in great shape back in Meereen).

Kelly Lawler USA TODAY

Holy White Walkers — the Game of Thrones Season 6 trailer is here.

Yes, Dany, Bran, Cersei and the rest (including Jon Snow) are back, and while they’re probably not better than ever, they’re certainly more intense. Set to James Vincent McMorrow’s cover of Chris Isaak’s Wicked Game, the trailer is a rush of images and tidbits from the new season, some speeding by too quickly to fully comprehend. We break down the packed trailer into the five things you absolutely need to know. You can watch the full trailer at entertainthis.usatoday.com.

1

WE HAVE NO CONFIRMATION THAT JON IS ALIVE OR DEAD.

We hear the gruff tones of what sounds like Davos and see a sweeping shot of Jon lying on the ground, dead. And it means ... nothing. A corpse does not prevent Jon from being resurrected or from warging into Ghost. Not even the shot of someone apparently closing Jon’s eyes is proof he’s gone; nor is the bit at the end where Davos picks up his sword.

4 Did you think that nun and a naCERSEI HAS NOT BEEN SHAMED.

ked walk at the end of Season 5 put Cersei out of commission?

Goodness gracious, no. The Queen Mother has her lover/ brother Jaime back, she has the zombified corpse of the Mountain and she has her pure force of will. The High Sparrow, Tommen and anyone else who gets in her way had better watch out.

5 Hi Bran! Glad to see you’re back, BRAN IS BACK, AND WITH THE WHITE WALKER KING?!

not the confident seer of the future she once was. She’s questioning her visions and looking distinctly down. Later, we see her disrobing and (possibly) in the clutches of passion with Yara, Theon’s sister.

Has she traded her allegiance to the Iron Islands? Has she disavowed the Red God? Either way, something is wrong.

among the people of the Khlasar, not chained or locked up. However, most members of the Khlasar ride horses while slaves and those who have been dishonored walk.

It looks like Dany — who has been crusading against slavery for six seasons — may have become one.

that puberty has treated you well and that you found a pair a scissors north of the Wall! But seriously folks, let us talk about that moment Bran had the White Walker king sneak up on him. We see Bran standing with the White Walker king suddenly behind him, suggesting this moment is a vision. Whether it’s a vision of things to come or of things that already happened is unclear. But the fact that Bran is seeing him implies the White Walkers are coming. And suddenly, all the little squabbles don’t seem so important anymore.

Pretty seed pods add interest to gardens Garden Variety

Jennifer Smith

P

lants produce fruit and seeds in a variety of ways — some tasty, some ornamental and some that are just plain interesting.

Lotus is a great example, with a seed pod that resembles a showerhead or the spout of a watering can and dries into a natural rattle.

This spring, instead of focusing on pretty flowers, fall color or other attributes, consider adding a plant (or two) with ornamental seed pods to give your garden a little extra oomph.

True pods are produced by members of the legume family. Peas and beans are among the most recognizable, but there are flowers and trees in the family also.

In the flower garden, try lupines or wisteria. Lupine pods are born along an upright flower stalk and look like fuzzy beans sticking out from all directions. Wisteria pods are larger, flat, and hang down from the vines, adding special interest when the plant is growing over a pergola or other structure.

Many other plants produce pod-type seed structures that go by various botanical names.

Capsules are one example and are produced by poppies and blackberry lilies. On poppies, the capsule looks like a head wearing a crown borne atop a long stem. They can be dried

Shutterstock Image

MAGNOLIA TREE SEED HEADS look like fleshy pinecones with bright red berrylike fruits inside. for use in dried arrangements.

On blackberry lilies, capsules are somewhat dull but open up to shiny black seeds arranged in a way to resemble giant blackberries.

Lunaria is a plant that is more popular than most on the basis of its seeds. It produces a flat structure about the size and shape of a coin that has the transparency of tissue paper and enclosed small flat brown seeds.

Lunaria is sometimes called money plant or silver dollar

plant because of these seed heads.

Other flowers that are more discreet but still have interesting pods include columbines, milkweeds and delphiniums. Even peony, much admired for its flowers, has a unique star-shaped pod.

Pod-producing trees suitable for the Midwest include redbud, black locust, honeylocust and Kentucky coffee bean. They each produce pods of varying sizes and shapes.

Other tree options include sweetgum, which produces a spiky ball, and Japanese pagodatree, which produces a long slender pod resembling a string of beads. Magnolia is another interesting one — the seed head looks like a fleshy pinecone with bright red berrylike fruits inside.

On trees more so than other plants, pods might be seen as problematic rather than ornamental. Plant trees that produce pods and other large seed structures away

from sidewalks, driveways and gutters to prevent later headaches. The arrival of elm pods and maple helicopters later this spring is a good reminder of seed pods that are less desirable.

Not a hoops fan? Another blue bird to watch this month

By Colleen Winter Special to the Journal-World

T

o a lot of people March Madness means basketball tournaments but March Madness is happening right now in your own backyard.

The eastern bluebird is everywhere in Johnson County and covers the state of Kansas almost year-round.

The males have a beautiful sky blue head, back and tail, with a rusty red breast and a white belly. The females have a lighter blue tail and wings, with a fainter orange breast and white belly. The mating season has begun, and the eastern bluebirds are one of the first backyard birds to start mating and looking for nesting boxes.

The bluebirds can nest in old cavities in trees or a nest box that is securely mounted to a post or pole. The females are the ones to build the nest and can have two to three broods per year. They lay four to five pale blue eggs without markings, and it takes about 12 to 14 days for incubation.

When the young start to fledge (leave the nest), both the male and female are feeding the young. It is so sweet to watch the adults feed the baby birds while they wait there, fluttering their wings.

Bluebirds love mealworms and have been known to visit feeders for suet and some seed. You may see them perch in trees or on fence posts and start to flutter to the ground. They are watching for grasshoppers and other insects to eat as well.

March can be a difficult time of year for the birds.

Their natural food is mostly depleted and the weather is changing so drastically from one day to the next.

The birds are trying to keep warm some days and may

EASTERN BLUEBIRDS ARE MORE ACTIVE IN NORTHEAST KANSAS RIGHT NOW, looking for mates and places to nest. Birdwatchers can also spot goldfinches, mockingbirds, blue jays, cardinals and several woodpecker species at this time of year.

be singing from morning to dusk, trying to find mates.

They are using up a lot of energy and need food to help them through.

Bluebirds are also known to visit a heated birdbath in the winter and during the colder

months in early spring. Water is crucial for birds yearround, and if you can provide it for them, you might be pleasantly surprised at all the birds that will visit. The eastern bluebird is so beautiful.

living or visiting right here in our own backyards. Come on, take a look! You never know what you might see if you just take some time and watch.

The goldfinches are starting to get back that bright yellow color. There are mockingbirds, purple finches, titmice, chickadees, blue jays, cardinals and more northern flickers than I’ve ever seen. Wow, what beautiful birds!

Folding is also critical.

I’m still working on folding the bathroom towels just right, but after studying Kondo’s techniques, I get the origami-like art of folding shirts.

The bathroom was easy Kondo says sentimental things should be left for last. So I started with the most unsentimental place: the bathroom. There’s no emotion in tossing expired medication, used Ace bandages and unclaimed toothbrushes.

In cleaning out, I unearthed a cache of skin creams and cleansers that I like. I now keep some handy for daily use, and store others in a beautifully decorated gift box I’d been reluctant to part with. Keeping and using the box this way fit several Kondo principles.

First, she says, “Everything you own wants to be of use to you.”

Second, she says, don’t buy storage containers.

Instead, use things you already own: shoeboxes, stationery boxes, decorative bowls.

Third, Kondo is no minimalist. “Adorn your home with the things you love,” she urges. My pretty box now brightens a shelf.

Reading Marie Kondo’s best-selling books about decluttering is intimidating. I have a complicated relationship with many of my possessions: souvenirs from favorite places, gifts from loved ones.

Even if I never use them, how could I part with them? And how could I face my overflowing cupboards and scary closets?

But I got over my fears.

Ultimately, Kondo’s books, “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up” and “Spark Joy,” are not so much about throwing things out as they are about “choosing what we want to keep,” as Kondo puts it.

Here’s what it felt like going Kondo.

Spring migration will be starting soon so grab the kids and head to the parks. One local birder has recorded over 215 species of birds at Shawnee Mission Park.

He was having fun with it.

I’m glad he had the opportunity,” Selden said after Uncle Anthony shared the spotlight with his nephew not only on national cable television but with print media members after a victory

Big 12 coming-out party for KU’s Bragg Kansas City, Mo. — Nobody who saw Perry Ellis blossom at the Big 12 tournament three years ago is surprised that he is on the brink of winning tourney Most Outstanding Player honors if Kansas University can take the crown today.

Ellis scored 20 points, leading Kansas to a 70-66,

fall-from-way-ahead victory Friday night against Baylor, a day after scoring 21 in a blowout victory against Kansas State.

College basketball wasn’t always as easy as Ellis, a McDonald’s All-American from Wichita, has made it look lately. For stretches during his freshman season,

he looked lost, not unlike current freshman forward Carlton Bragg Jr. Then the Big 12 tournament hit, and Ellis looked like he belonged, averaging 14.3 points and 6.3 rebounds in the three victories. Bragg, whose college career likely will last two or three years and not four, is having his

coming-out party on the same Sprint Center floor as Ellis did three years ago.

Bragg had just one double-figures scoring output, 10 points at home vs. TCU, during the regular season.

Now he has three.

LAWRENCE HIGH SENIOR PRICE MORGAN, LEFT, finds consolation from the LHS student section after the Lions’ 74-61 loss to Wichita East in a Class 6A state semifinal on Friday in Wichita.

Wichita — Lawrence High senior Price Morgan was the last player to walk off of the court following Friday’s 7461 loss to Wichita Southeast in the Class 6A boys basketball state semifinals.

After the postgame handshakes, Morgan took a deep breath and stared out to the middle of Wichita State’s Koch Arena, wiping tears out of his eyes. One nightmare fourth quarter ended the dream of playing for a state championship.

It was the same pain the

Lions felt a year ago when they lost in the state title game. After surpassing most expectations with another trip to the Final Four, senior Anthony Harvey Jr. said it was “the worst feeling in the world.”

The Lions will play Blue Valley Northwest (19-5) in

the third-place game at 2 p.m. today.

“I’m proud of all of our guys, just the way we fought,” Morgan said. “I’m going to be able to sleep OK tonight, along with all of the other guys, just knowing we Please see LIONS, page 3D

Manziel released

by Cleveland

EAST

AMERICAN FOOTBALL CONFERENCE

Cleveland — Quarterback Johnny Manziel, the scrambling, Heisman Trophy-winning college standout who hasn’t come close to matching his hype in the NFL, was released Friday by the Cleveland Browns following two turbulent and troubling seasons.

Manziel’s unceremonious exit — the team sent out a brief statement with a few stats and no comment — ends a dramafilled stay in Cleveland for the 23-year-old, who faces an uncertain future on and off the field.

For the first time since he started throwing a football as a kid while growing up in Texas, Manziel isn’t a wanted player, and he’s contending with possible criminal charges for a recent domestic incident in which his ex-girlfriend claimed he struck and threatened to kill her.

The Browns drafted Manziel in the first round in 2014, hoping he could not only be their longterm solution at quarterback but revive a sluggish franchise.

Instead, he was a two-year headache that wouldn’t go away.

Stricker, MacKenzie share Valspar lead Palm Harbor, Fla. — Jordan Spieth holed three shots from off the green and made the cut with one shot to spare Friday in the Valspar Championship.

Now he has to figure out how to catch up to Steve Stricker and Will MacKenzie.

Stricker holed out from the 10th fairway for eagle on his way to a 5-under 66 that gave him a share of the lead with MacKenzie, who had a 67.

They were a shot ahead of Bill Haas, Daniel Berger and Graham DeLaet. Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland shot a second-round 72 and was at 3-over 145, eight shots off the lead.

Spieth rallied from his opening 76 with a 68 by making five birdies and a couple of tough pars that he needed to make sure he stuck around for the weekend with hopes of defending his title.

L awrence J ournal -W orld

OU’s buzzer-beater doesn’t Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Everything unfolded in slow motion for West Virginia’s Jevon Carter.

He saw Oklahoma star Buddy Hield get the ball in his hands, take a couple of dribbles and cross halfcourt, then heave a shot at the buzzer that banked through the basket in the Big 12 semifinals.

“It was like a movie.

They have the camera on the main character the whole time,” Carter said later, sitting alone in the Mountaineers’ locker room.

“Championship game, it’s going to be a tough game — main character makes the last shot.

So when he made that I was like, ‘Is this possible?’”

Not quite. Not this time.

As Hield leaped into the crowd to celebrate, the game officials huddled around a monitor to review his shot. And after a tense moment, they ruled the ball left Hield’s hand a fraction of a second late, and No. 9 West Virginia escaped with a 69-67 victory over the sixth-ranked Sooners on Friday night.

“When I saw the replay, I was like, ‘Nah, that didn’t count,’” said Carter, who hit six three-pointers and led the Mountaineers with 26 points. “They’re going to give this game to us.”

West Virginia (26-7) certainly earned it.

Jaysean Paige hit a pullup jumper over Isaiah Cousins to give the Mountaineers a 68-67 lead with 11.2 seconds left.

Christian James missed a

a pair of free throws with a minute left in the first half.

“It was tough. They guarded him good,” Spangler said. “When that happens, the other four guys on the court have to figure out a way to get the ball in the hoop.”

West Virginia extended its 30-29 halftime lead in the opening minutes of the second half, and it was Carter who predictably did most of the damage.

After hitting four threes in the first half, the sophomore guard knocked down two more in rapid succession to make it 4436 with about 15 minutes remaining.

Hield finally knocked down his first field-goal, a three-pointer with 9:39 left in the game, but Paige and the Mountaineers kept harassing him into Orlin Wagner/AP Photo mistakes that prevented WEST VIRGINIA FORWARD ELIJAH MACON (45) and him from catching fire.

BRIEFLY Two Jayhawks All-Americans

Kansas’ Formby tosses shutout

Birmingham, Ala. — A pair of Kansas University athletes turned in AllAmerican performances on Day One the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships on Friday night inside the Birmingham CrossPlex.

Senior Daina Levy claimed bronze in the weight throw with a career-best outing, just minutes before sophomore Sharon Lokedi ran to a sixth-place finish in the 5,000 meters to become the first KU female to earn All-America status in that indoor event.

The two Jayhawks’ performances netted the women’s team nine points after the first day’s events and have Kansas sitting ninth overall heading into the second and final day of action today.

Sophomore right-hander Andie Formby tossed a complete-game shutout, striking out eight, as Kansas University ran its softball winning streak to six with an 8-0 win over Western Illinois on Friday at Arrocha Ballpark.

Formby got solid support from her offense as Daniella Chavez, Erin McGinley and Jessie Roane combined to knock in all of Kansas’ runs.

Chavez had four of those RBIs, three with her seventh home run of the season.

KU will host Western Illinois (11:30 a.m.) and Northern Iowa (2 p.m.) today.

KANSAS 70, BAYLOR 66

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Bears shrug off dunks

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Kansas City, Mo. — It was the play that tipped the momentum fully in favor of Kansas University during Friday night’s 70-66 victory over Baylor in a Big 12 semifinal at Sprint Center.

And BU junior Ishmail Wainright had no problem talking about it.

In fact, not only was Wainright willing to break down exactly what happened on the transition dunk by KU junior Wayne Selden Jr. that sent nearly everyone inside the Sprint Center into a frenzy, he also had a few words for Selden after the game about the climb-the-ladder slam.

“I told him, ‘I’ll be watching “SportsCenter” later on today,’” Wainright said with a shrug.

“It was just respect. If you haven’t been dunked on, you’re not a basketball player. It wasn’t the first time. It won’t be the last time. I’ll probably get dunked on in the (NCAA) tournament.”

Of the play, which actually came after a missed jumper by Wainright, the 6-foot-5, 230-pound Baylor forward said he was trying to back-pedal fast enough to get in position to take a charge. But Selden was moving so fast and took off with such force that it never happened. Instead of making a play that might have given the Bears some momentum, Wainright became part of KU’s 201516 highlight video and put Selden on the free-throw line, where the KU junior calmly pushed the Jayhawks’ lead to 46-33 with 10:52 to play. If the Kansas City, Mo., native regretted anything about giving up the dunk to Selden, it’s that the contact came too late.

“I should’ve fouled him in the first place and not let him leave his feet,” Wainright said.

Watching the Jayhawks fly was a common theme throughout the night for Baylor. KU’s weapon of choice against the Bears’ active zone on Friday was the lob. KU guard Devonté Graham threw three and finished one, and Selden rewarded Graham with a two-on-one lob pass of his own late in the first half.

“I knew he was gonna dunk it,” Selden said.

“Maybe nobody else in the Sprint Center knew he was gonna dunk it, but I saw him cut, and I just knew I was gonna throw it up. And if Frank was on that side, I would’ve thrown it up to Frank, too, because we’ve got athletes on this team.”

The Baylor players were not surprised by KU’s desire to attack the zone with the lob. But the Bears were disappointed in how they defended it.

KU senior Perry Ellis snagged four of his gamehigh 20 points off of lob passes from Graham on back-to-back KU possessions in the first half.

The first was the product of Graham attacking the paint, collapsing the defense and flipping it up to Ellis at the rim. The second came when Graham threw over the top of the BU zone from the wing.

“We were expecting it,” BU sophomore Johnathan Motley said. “There were just some little things we didn’t do. You just can’t let people throw lobs like that, especially to the same person.”

“He’s been like that since I was a kid. It’s great to see him out here watching me play,” Selden added.

Selden, who had three of KU’s eight dunks, brought Pitts to his feet following an acrobatic baseline slam that gave KU a 33-26 lead with 16:51 to play.

That dunk had everybody buzzing, but the one that made Pitts a celebrity came off a drive down the lane with 10:52 left, KU up, 46-33.

Pitts — who wore a huge, red Flavor Flav-like clock around his neck (the clock had a picture of Selden dunking inside it) — ripped the hat off his head and made all sorts of gyrations and faces while celebrating the length-of-the court dunk.

“You already know what I think about it — Whoa!!,” Pitts exclaimed.

“There was so much emotion, I couldn’t contain it. He’s my guy.”

The dunk was so remarkable, it had everybody wondering where it ranked on all-time lists.

Pitts, who is from Selden’s hometown of Roxbury, Mass., wasn’t ready to call it the best he’s witnessed from Selden, who finished with 11 points off 5-of-9 shooting with four assists and two turnovers in 31 minutes.

“The first time I saw him throw it down like that, honestly, he was 13.

It got thrown off the backboard, and I didn’t know if he was going to make it. I was like, ‘Whoa!!’

He’s been making them like that ever since,” Pitts said.

The author of the dunk, Selden, said: “I don’t know (where it ranks).

In high school, I used to dunk a lot more. At KU I think that could be No. 1.”

The man who was dunked on, KC native Wainright, complimented Selden on his slam in the handshake line.

“He said something about ESPN or ‘Sportscenter,’ something like that. That’s my guy.

It’s just basketball. It’s nothing deeper,” Selden said.

It may or may not be KU’s top dunk of the season. Remember, Jamari Traylor had a vicious one on Feb. 29 at Texas.

“I don’t really focus in on mine,” said Selden, who was stone-faced after Friday’s amazing slam.

“Jamari’s whole elbow was on the rim. I think I’ll give it to him.”

Traylor, who had six rebounds in 19 minutes against Baylor, chimed in with his opinion.

“I’m a little biased. I might go for my own

dunk,” Traylor said.

“Wayne’s was an amazing play. I might actually have to give it a tie, at least.”

Coach Bill Self, whose Jayhawks actually saw a 16-point lead with 1:51 left dip to three points at :05.4 (he had to bring his regulars back in the game for a group of reserves), acknowledged Selden’s dunk was mighty special.

“I’ve judged a lot of dunk contests. I thought it was great,” Self said. “I thought it was an athletic play. Certainly he more so than anybody else can give us confidence

through physical plays, and that was one of them.

I don’t know how I’d rate it, but Mari’s at Texas and probably this, probably the two best we’ve had this year.”

Traylor, who is Selden’s roommate at McCarthy Hall, has met Wayne’s energetic uncle before.

“His uncle is a pretty funny dude. When he comes see Wayne, I see him a lot,” Traylor said.

“He had that wacky clock on. He wore it around his neck. It’s a little badge of honor for him.”

Pitts explained the

I might go get a big one with a mirror. I might overdo it tomorrow.”

Of the clock, Selden said: “They’ve gotten bigger and bigger. It’s probably his 10th clock by now, I think. Actually, every time he comes out here, he ends up doing something.

NOTEBOOK

Self, calmly, fires up KU

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas City, Mo. — Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self didn’t tear into his team at halftime of Friday’s Big 12 tournament semifinal against Baylor.

He calmly addressed the Jayhawks’ 23-21 deficit off his team’s lowest scoring output in any half this season.

“I said, ‘Hey, if we don’t want to be here, fine. We’re tired, and we can go home and rest.

That’s OK. If we’re going to play with this energy and be pouty and be babies, that’s fine. We’ll just regroup and rest an extra day (before NCAA Tournament),’” Self said after the Jayhawks rallied for a 70-66 victory, courtesy of a 49-point second half. “That’s all I said.

That was those guys (Jayhawks) coming out and playing better the second

half. It had nothing to do with what I said at halftime.”

In an interesting twist, the Jayhawks actually saw a 16-point lead (with 1:51 left) dip to three points (at :05.4). Self with :18.9 to play had to replace four reserves (Brannen Greene, Hunter Mickelson, Cheick Diallo, Lagerald Vick) with Jamari Traylor, Frank Mason III, Perry Ellis and Wayne Selden Jr. Devonté Graham remained in the game.

“The worst nightmare would be if we lost, so this was just a bad dream, OK?” Self said to media laughter. “I wanted to play the other guys. It looks so easy from the bench, to say, ‘Well, I could do this, and I could do that. I could do better than that.’

Those guys got a chance to play and didn’t do better. That’ll be humbling to them. They’ll grow from it. I think it’s fine.”

Self added: “I said com-

ing into the tournamen,t if we won the first game, I promise you I was going to let these young kids play in crucial situations in the second game, and we didn’t really get a chance to do that, but the last two minutes we did. It didn’t turn out very well, but in Baylor also, the law of averages start prevailing. They made a couple shots they’d been missing earlier, but that doesn’t take away anything from us being excited about playing tomorrow.” l

KU vs. West Virginia: KU (29-4) at 5 p.m. today will meet West Virginia (26-7) in the finals. During the regular season, KU fell to the Mountaineers, 74-63, on Jan. 12 in Morgantown, W.Va., then won, 75-65, on Feb. 9 in Allen Fieldhouse.

“West Virginia has good guards. They have a very good team overall,” said Graham, whose free

throw with 5.4 seconds left boosted a three-point lead to two possessions vs. Baylor. “You have to deal with the press and full-court man-to-man the whole 40 minutes.

We’re excited about playing for a championship.

That’s what it is, a championship game.”

Of possibly winning the tournament, Perry Ellis, who had 20 points vs.

Baylor, said: “I think it is real important just from a team standpoint, getting a lot of momentum going forward. All our guys are trying to win this. We’re trying to get through it.”

Self said: “It (preparation) will be difficult, but everybody in the tournament knows the other team because we’ve all played each other twice.

I don’t think it’s overload tonight or tomorrow to get them ready. You just go out and try to have fun and play and be aggressive and see what happens.”

11 minutes and scored 12 points in Thursday’s blowout victory against Kansas State and followed that with 10 points, seven rebounds and four fouls in 10 minutes against Baylor. That’s 22 points in 21 minutes. Not bad for a freshman.

Bragg’s big back-toback games made Ellis look back a few years.

“Oh, man, it was great,” Ellis said of his first Big 12 tournament. “I remember playing with a lot of confidence. That was probably when I first started playing with a lot of confidence. I remember the crowd cheering my name, and it just kind of pushed me forward and made me confident in myself.”

All 10 of Bragg’s points came in seven secondhalf minutes.

“I definitely see that with Carlton,” Ellis said of the Big 12 tourney growing the freshman’s confidence. “He’s playing great. He’s going to be a great player. He just needs to keep that same attitude.”

A McDonald’s AllAmerican, Bragg has had trouble cracking the rotation, but coach Bill Self is showing more trust in him, even though his defensive development lags far behind his scoring value.

Self brought Bragg to the podium after the K-State game and joked it might have been the first time he had given that sort of exposure to player who had just finished a game without getting a rebound.

Even when he’s drawing laughs, there is a coaching purpose behind Self’s words.

“I took that personally and came in here today and tried to get as many rebounds as possible,” said Bragg, who had seven boards. “I was kind of looking at coach, saying, ‘Yeah!’ Even though he’s joking, I still take it personally. When he says stuff, I want to prove him wrong.”

Two of his points came when Devonté Graham threw a long-

distance lob on the fast break. Graham looks for Bragg in multiple spots on the floor. Bragg made two threes in the Big 12 tourney opener and has a lethal midrange shot.

“Carlton’s always been able to do that,” Graham said of scoring at a rapid rate. “He does that in practice a lot. He’s had confidence in practice, knocking down shots.

We’ve just been telling him, if you’re wide-open, shoot the ball. Just let it ride. He knocked ’em down, and that’s a good confidence boost for him.”

Bragg said several teammates shared with him tales of their struggles as freshmen, told him to be patient and as the year progressed, told him to look to shoot more in games.

“In practice I was shooting and making it consistently,” Bragg said. “Coming into the games, especially coming into this tournament, Jamari told me, ‘Let it fly. Just be yourself.’ So I did.”

It’s working out for him and the team. His scoring punch off the bench will come in handy during the NCAA Tournament.

“I’m having the time of my life,” Bragg said.

“We’re winning. We’re playing great basketball, and I’m getting a lot of minutes.”

Bragg will get more minutes if he can figure out how to defend better, and if guards lending quick hands can mask his deficiencies at that end.

Making it clear he was not singling out Bragg, rather talking about all post players, Graham explained how guards can help.

“We have to start clogging the paint up more,” Graham said. “We can’t just leave him down there on an island. We can’t let the post man take four or five dribbles to a spin move and lay a ball up. Somebody has to come steal the ball from him if he’s making all those moves.”

Keeping Bragg’s scoring punch on the floor will help to motivate the guards to camouflage defensive flaws shared by most freshmen.
