n this, all six remaining candidates for the Lawrence City Commission agree: They think a new police headquarters can be built without a tax increase.

But when it comes to what type of building, where it should be, and what may have to be cut from the city’s budget to make it happen, the candidates vying for three atlarge seats in the April 7 election have different views.

Enrollment slump a good economic sign

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — Student enrollment across the Kansas higher education system dropped slightly in 2014, especially among older, nontraditional students, a trend that Board of Regents officials said indicates an economic recovery.

“This is what we expected because during a recession, what happens?

Well, people BOARD OF go back to REGENTS school,” said Cynthia Farrier, director of data, research and planning for the Regents. “What happens when the economy im-

proves? People go back into the workforce.”

“In the last two years, there have been downward shifts in every age bracket, 25 and above,” she said.

“And this is just another clue that adults are returning to work.”

Farrier delivered an annual report on overall enrollment trends at the Board

of Regents’ regular monthly meeting last week.

One of the more surprising trends in the report was the number of students who attend multiple institutions along their way to earning a bachelor’s or associate’s degree, or even an industry certificate, something Please see SIGN, page 2A

Recalled Blue Bell products removed

DEATHS

Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Blue Bell ice cream products linked to a foodborne illness that might have been a contributing factor in the deaths of three hospital patients in Kansas have been recalled and removed from grocery store shelves.

Kansas health officials have not released the names of the five patients at Via Christi St. Francis hospital in Wichita who developed listeriosis after eating products from one production line at the Blue Bell creamery in Brenham, Texas.

But the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Pre-

vention said the five individuals were older adults and three of them are women.

The CDC did not specify the gender of those patients who died.

According to the CDC, information available for four of the five patients shows they had eaten while hospitalized milkshakes made with a Blue Bell ice cream product called “Scoops” in the month before the infection.

The FDA says listeria bacteria were found in samples of Scoops, as well as Blue Bell Chocolate Chip Country Cookies, Great Divide Bars, Sour Pop Green

Startups CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

The local 1 Million Cups initiative has been meeting about a year and a half, since August 2013, every Wednesday morning at the Cider Gallery in the Warehouse Arts District. It’s one of 50 chapters nationwide of the entrepreneurship engagement effort of the same name started by the Kansas City, Mo.-based Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation.

The meetings have been an opportunity for Lawrence and regional entrepreneurs to share what they’re doing, get feedback from attendees and, simply, talk over coffee about their ideas and progress.

That “dreamer aspect” — the thought that startups have potential to become the next big thing — can be especially energizing, said Joseph Jarvis of Tallgrass Legal, anoth-

Farrier said pointed to the need to make college credits more transferable among institutions.

According to the report, nearly one-fourth of all the people who received bachelor’s degrees from Kansas institutions in 2014 had attended three or more institutions along the way. Only about a third of those graduates attended just one institution.

A little more than 13 percent of those earning associate’s degrees, and nearly 11 percent of those earning technical certificates, attended three or more schools.

The report showed that the overall headcount enrollment at all public institutions in Kansas, including community colleges and technical schools, fell 2.5 percent from the 20122013 academic year to 2013-2014. That number counts each student, whether he or she is enrolled full time or part time.

The “full time equivalent,” or FTE enrollment,

fell about 1.3 percent.

The decline was even sharper at the state’s 20 community colleges, which tend to attract older, non-traditional students looking to complete a degree or get additional training. There, enrollment fell 3.8 percent over the two-year period.

At the six state universities, enrollment was essentially flat over the last two years, and was up a modest 1.4 percent over the last five years.

But the opposite trend occurred at the state’s eight technical schools, where headcount enrollment grew more than 6.5 percent over the two years and has jumped more than 30 percent over the last five years.

Farrier said she expects that trend to continue, at least for the next year or two, mainly due to a projected decline in the number of high school graduates over that time.

Regents Chairman Kenny Wilk, however, said Kansas schools can do a better job of attracting more young students straight out of high school.

According to the report, only 53 percent of students who graduated high school in 2013 went directly into a Kansas higher

education institution.

Typically, Farrier said, another 10 percent of high school graduates go to out-of-state public institutions, while about 8 to 10 percent will enroll at some time over the next two or three years.

Looking at the six university presidents seated in front of the board, Wilk tried to put a positive spin to that number, saying: “If I’m sitting in any one of the chairs out there, I’m looking at that and thinking, man what an opportunity.”

“We have to be able to get more of our Kansas kids to come to our Kansas schools,” Wilk said.

Farrier said Kansas can expect to see slight declines in enrollment at the three regional universities — Kansas University, Kansas State University and Wichita State University — as well as the 20 community colleges.

She said there will likely be slow growth at Pittsburg State, Emporia State and Fort Hays State and continued strong growth at the technical schools.

er community organizer.

Entrepreneurs can apply to present, and organizers vet applicants as well as seek out presenters they think would add to the conversation in Lawrence. They are mostly fledgling businesses less than a few years old, ranging from Kansas University students in the concept phase to established businesses that are starting to grow.

The meetings attract roughly 40 people a week, many regulars and other infrequent visitors, organizers said. They said people seem to like the organic nature of the meetings — it’s not a club requiring membership, anyone can just show up (though it’s a bonus if you RSVP on the Lawrence 1 Million Cups website, 1millioncups.com/lawrence).

Of course networking takes place, organizers said.

Entrepreneurs have found clients and clients have met service providers.

But one of the key

things that sets apart presenters is that many of the businesses are “disruptive” of typical business models, Jarvis said.

One example is Lawrence resident and founder of Bixy, Kyle Johnson.

Johnson, 32, a KU engineering graduate, started working on Bixy.com about three years ago.

It’s actually an advertising business whose slogan and online hashtag is #AdsSuck.

Johnson said Bixy aims to fix them by applying “consumer controlled advertising,” which connects people with ads for things they may actually be interested in without “creepy” click tracking.

Lawrence is the company’s beta market, he said, and local businesses here are among his participants.

“Startups need to tell their stories to the community and also get feedback,” Johnson said. “I think 1 Million Cups is a perfect vehicle to do that.”

Foreign-born farmers struggle to find help

By Amy Bickel Associated Press

Hutchinson — In the wheat fields of Kansas, the American dream is still alive.

Geoffrey Burgess came from Bolney, England, following that dream the same way the pioneers did more than a century ago. He took to the custom harvest fields to learn more and realized this is where he wanted to stake his claim.

In these parts, multigeneration farmers are commonplace. But Geoff and his wife, Jenny, are the first generation working to expand their fledgling Burgess Hill Farms near Sterling.

For now, it’s just Geoff and Jenny, along with his father-in-law, on occasion. But the couple, like most in farming, are looking to expand. That means finding a farm hand.

Yet, while the Burgesses contemplate growing their operation, they encountered one hurdle.

Farm workers are hard to find.

The topic came up at a recent Reno County farm policy meeting at Carriage Crossing restaurant in Yoder, The Hutchinson News reported.

“A lot of people agreed it was hard enough to find help — but even harder to find good help that will show up,” Jenny Burgess said of the talk around the dinner table.

However, she added, “We are all still trying to figure out the answer.”

The farm employment plight is obviously one Geoff knows all too well.

When he first came to the United States with his J-1 training visa from the government in 2000, it was to help Rice County custom harvester Lance Frederick.

Each year Frederick and his brother, Drew, search for skilled, reliable labor to help them operate Frederick Harvesting. Often, however, they do not find it in the United States.

Frederick found Geoff through The Ohio Program. The Ohio State University internship training program takes skilled students like Geoff, who have had advanced training in agriculture, horticulture and similar fields, and pairs them up with U.S. mentors.

Geoff had just completed an agricultural mechanic program through a university in England.

“He wanted to further his education and that is a big thing,” Frederick

said, noting that on his operation, “You are going to see farming practices clear from Texas to the Canada border, from where it rains very little or quite a bit. They see diversity of crops, irrigated versus dryland. They are not exposed to those areas where they come from.”

Frederick said he also teaches his employees about rural living and community service. Oftentimes his crew helps with a local project, whether it is remodeling a church or a town hall.

Geoff said his parents

had a 10-acre vegetable farm when he was young.

Eventually, however, his father took an agricultural professor post at a nearby university.

It was through his father’s position that he became familiar with The Ohio Program.

A few workers from England have already arrived at Frederick’s farm.

More will arrive through early May. In all, the custom harvester hires about 25 people for his crew, which will begin cutting wheat in Texas in May. Frederick said he tries

to hire as many American workers as he can to go on the seven-month harvest run north to the border. Most years he gets 50 percent American workers. This year, that could be a challenge.

“One of our biggest hurdles is to find enough young men who want to come do this work,” Frederick said. “And the past few years it has been a struggle to get enough skilled farm guys. It takes skills to do what we are doing.”

The two U.S. Senators from Kansas are defending their decision last week to sign onto an open letter to the leaders of Iran, a letter many have criticized as undermining the Obama administration’s efforts to negotiate a deal to prevent that country from developing nuclear weapons.

Sens. Pat Roberts and Jerry Moran, both Republicans, were among the 47 GOP senators who sent that letter March 9. In it, the senators reminded Iran that any deal they strike with the Democratic president would have to be ratified by the Republican-controlled Senate.

“Denying Iran nuclear capabilities is one of our country’s most pressing national security challenges,” Moran said in an email released through his spokeswoman. “The letter makes clear that any long-standing agreement must be reviewed

“

Denying Iran nuclear capabilities is one of our country’s most pressing national security challenges.”

— U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kansas by the Legislative Branch, and input from the Senate should be seriously considered by the Administration before any agreement with Iran is reached.”

But a Kansas University professor who specializes in Middle East politics said the senators may be the ones who don’t fully understand the process, not Iran.

“The U.S. is not negotiating with Iran one-onone,” said Gail Buttorff, who teaches political science at KU. “They’re negotiating with Russia, China, Great Britain, Please see IRAN, page 4A

France and Germany.

The U.S. is of course spearheading these negotiations, but any deal is likely to be kicked back to the (United Nations) Security Council and ratified there. So if any future administration reneged on that deal, the U.S. would be in violation of international law.� “The headlines in the media regarding this letter are outlandish,�

Roberts said through his spokesperson. “But I am not shocked the media is taking the Administration’s side. This Administration is pointing the finger at Republicans so that when nuclear talks with Iran end with a bad deal — they can place the blame on us.� “I do not trust this president or his agenda,�

Roberts added.

The letter by the GOP senators was seen as adding another layer of partisanship over U.S. policy toward Iran and discussions about the best how to prevent that country from gaining nuclear weapons.

A week earlier, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke to a joint session of Congress.

That speech also stirred controversy be-

cause Netanyahu was invited solely by Republican House Speaker John Boehner, without consultation with the White House, and in that speech he warned against conducting any negotiations with Iran, saying the Iranian government could not be trusted.

Israel considers Iran’s nuclear program a direct threat against Israeli security. Buttorff said she thinks that concern is overstated. “They have a nuclear weapon,� she said, referring to Israel. “I think that’s a legitimate concern for Israel, or for anyone. We’d rather have a world with no nuclear weapons, and definitely not any more.�

Any deal with Iran will have stipulations about inspections and making sure “checks and balances are in place and making sure that Iran is not going to develop it, and if they even try, will be caught,� Buttorff said. l GOP: Obama sees Iran nuclear talks as legacy builder. 10A

Police CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Stuart Boley Boley, a retired IRS accountant, said he agrees the police department’s current facilities are facing a variety of issues. But Boley said he wants to be careful about presenting too many possible solutions until he’s confident the city has a good feel for the entire circumstances surrounding the department. He said too much of the argument for a new police facility has been based on anecdotal evidence.

“I would like to see better metrics,” Boley said. “I think we have to go back and get better data before we decide what to spend.

I think this decision needs to be data driven.”

Boley said, though, that he anticipates that the case for a new facility will be made. He said he does believe the police department faces some facility difficulties.

“I’m confident this is an issue that is going to be a priority for the new commission,” Boley said.

“But we have to get the necessary information.

The questions are what, where and how much?”

Boley said he thinks the commission likely will need to look at a different site than then one proposed during November’s sales tax election, which failed. Then, the city proposed spending $2.5 million to purchase a 47-acre site across from the Hallmark Cards production plant near the Kansas Turnpike and the McDonald Drive interchange.

“I think the commission failed to make the case for that site,” Boley said. “Voters didn’t understand why we needed to buy so much land. I think it will be hard to try that site again.”

Like all of the candidates, Boley said he thinks it will be feasible to come up with a plan to fund a new police facility without raising property or sales taxes. He said he finds sales taxes in particular already too high.

But if the desire is to build an approximately $25 million facility without a tax increase, there will have to be some changes to the city’s budget. Those could include some budget cuts or some capital improvement projects being delayed by several years.

Boley said he wasn’t yet ready to say which projects he may want to cut or delay.

“I haven’t identified anything in particular that should come off the plan, but it is important to address priorities with our budget, and I think police facilities should be one of our top priorities,” Boley said. “One of the issues we’ve had with this commission is prioritizing.”

Matthew Herbert Herbert, a Lawrence High teacher, said he’s convinced the police department has facility needs that have to be ad-

. dressed.

“There are real problems. They’re not making them up,” Herbert said of facilities that police officials have labeled as too small, outdated and inadequately designed. “I don’t think the community is resentful of giving the police new facilities.”

Herbert said he’s also convinced a plan should include a single facility that brings patrol officers, detectives and other personnel into a single location, which has been a strong recommendation from Police Chief Tarik Khatib. But Herbert said he’s equally convinced of something else: The project can’t rely on a new sales tax for funding.

“Our sales tax is already close to 9 percent,” Herbert said. “Bumping up an already regressive tax is going to impact the wrong people.”

Herbert has been critical of how the current City Commission decided to put the police headquarters issue to a sales tax vote. He has called the process “disingenuous” because he said if the police issue was really as large of a priority as commissioners claimed, they would have found a way to fund it in their existing budget. He said if commissioners wanted to put an issue to a vote, it should have been whether to proceed with the $22.5 million city investment in the Rock Chalk Park sports complex.

“I’ve told them that I think their work with Rock Chalk Park killed the police station,” Herbert said. “The thing that this issue has reminded me is you always have to be open and honest with the public. The first time people feel like you have cheated them, they will turn their back on you.”

Herbert said he believes there will be a way to fit a police headquarters into the city’s existing budget. But he said he could not yet identify specific projects that may need to be cut or delayed.

He does know the criteria that he’ll use to evaluate projects.

“My priority always will be to fund public safety and infrastructure first,” Herbert said. “Projects that don’t address public safety and infrastructure are where I’ll start.”

Stan Rasmussen Rasmussen, an attorney for the U.S. Army, said he sees a lot of inefficiencies with the department’s current configuration of facilities, which include a building at 11th and Massachusetts and another at Bob Billings and Wakarusa. He said he worries about the management and coordination challenges that presents to the department. He said he’s also heard anecdotal stories about evidence in storage at city facilities becoming damaged by mice.

“It is not a good situation,” he said.

Rasmussen said it is clear that efforts should be focused on building a new facility rather than trying to renovate

or expand existing facilities. But he said he wants more dialogue on whether the plan should be for one large facility, or whether the community could benefit by having multiple smaller facilities in different parts of the city. He said he would continue to keep the previously proposed site near Hallmark under consideration, although he said if the price remains at $2.5 million it may not be feasible.

Rasmussen said addressing the police department’s facility needs in phases also is something that should be looked at. That could include selecting a site for a police campus and building a couple of smaller buildings to accommodate functions such as evidence storage or a shooting range. A larger building to house staff and equipment could then be tackled as funds became more available, likely within a five-year period. The phasing approach could make it easier to build the project without a tax increase.

“I do think a plan that doesn’t involve a tax increase is both likely and feasible,” Rasmussen said.

Rasmussen said he did favor the commission’s previous decision to favor a sales tax increase over a property tax increase to fund the project. He said a sales tax would make it easier for people outside the community to help pay for a portion of the project. But he said he’s committed to exploring all options to do the project without a tax increase.

“I feel like we should be respecting the vote of the people who said they didn’t want a sales tax,” Rasmussen said.

Rasmussen said he would need to study the issue more before he could offer comments on what projects may need to be delayed or cut to fund police facilities.

He said the commission also will have to look at whether the department’s needs go beyond just brick and mortar facilities. He said he suspects the day soon will come where body cameras, for example, will be a necessity.

When it comes to funding police needs, though, Rasmussen said the city should use some creativity. For example, he said the city currently owns valuable property near the site of the new Bob Billings Parkway and South Lawrence Trafficway interchange. He said the city should sell the site, encourage commercial development on the site, and then perhaps dedicate the sales tax generated from the commercial activity at the site to police facilities.

He said residents probably have other ideas about how the project can move forward. He said making sure the community feels it has a chance to guide the project will be important.

Police facility could stifle other projects

By Chad Lawhorn Twitter: @chadlawhorn_ljw

There’s a lot of talk on the campaign trail about a no-tax-increase option for building a new police headquarters.

City Manager David Corliss said his staff has been working on scenarios for building a $20 million to $25 million police headquarters without a tax increase.

But Corliss stresses that it won’t be without tradeoffs.

“We really wouldn’t have any money to do any significant parks and recreation improvements for quite awhile,” Corliss said.

The scenario receiving the most study currently involves using money from a countywide one-cent sales tax approved by voters in 1994. Currently that sales tax fund is operating at a slight deficit and is dipping into reserve funds to make necessary bond payments on Rock Chalk Park and a variety of other projects.

But in 2017, the bonds for the Community Health building and the Eagle

Bend Golf Course will be paid off. Most of the money being used to pay for those two facilities will be used to make the bond payments on Rock Chalk Park. The fund will start to operate at about a $700,000 surplus in 2017. As long as other projects are not added in the future, the surplus is projected to grow each year.

Corliss estimates that using the surplus funds, the city could finance a little less than $20 million for a police headquarters.

Consultants, however, have cautioned that a police headquarters project that comes in under $20 million may not provide the needed benefits to the department. Corliss has said an additional option to generate more cash for the police project would be to cut the amount of money scheduled to go into the parks and recreation maintenance fund. Current projections call for that fund to grow by 4 percent a year to keep up with maintenance needs. Corliss said if the fund were simply to hold

steady, that would provide more money for the police project.

Even with that option, though, Corliss said the city also would likely have to cut or delay several nonparks and recreation projects in the city’s capital improvements plan. Among the projects in the plan are: l $1.35 million for improvements to 19th Street from Harper Street to the VenturePark business park. l $2.5 million for a cultural district / Ninth Street corridor project. l $1.48 million for the rehabilitation of Fire Station No. 1 downtown. l $2 million for improvements to Queens Road in west Lawrence.

Corliss said there are a number of scenarios regarding which projects would need to be delayed to build the police headquarters without a tax increase.

“But there would be a number of projects that would need to be delayed,” he said. “Our role in April will be to show the commission all the options.”

Facility

LAWRENCE

.

retired restaurant owner, said the current police facilities are in serious need of updating and consolidation. He said building a single facility to meet the needs is preferable to trying to renovate or expand existing facilities.

“You can always retrofit and remodel and make things do, but it is going to be very difficult and expensive,” Schumm said. “At some point you have to say, let’s start over and build what we need and make it last for 30 years or more.”

Schumm previously lobbied for the site near Hallmark Cards that was presented to voters in November. But he said he’s no longer interested in pursuing that site.

“It is off the table for me,” Schumm said. “It was clear to me after our listening sessions following the vote that a lot of no votes came in because they didn’t like the site.

It was causing us to purchase more land than we needed.”

Schumm said he now thinks city-owned land behind the Wal-Mart at Sixth and Wakarusa is the best site. He said he likes that location better than city-owned land at VenturePark because it will be a more visible location for the police department.

On funding, Schumm supported the sales tax proposal that was put before voters in November.

He said he does see a way to do the project without a tax increase.

“There is a real likelihood that it can be done, but whether the public really wants us to do it that way remains to be seen,” Schumm said.

Schumm said funding the project without a tax increase will require some tough choices about projects that will need to Bob Schumm be deferred or cut. He Schumm, a Lawrence said rebuilding the badly city commissioner and a deteriorating Queens

Investigations and Training Center for the department.

“It was like putting a grocery store on a third story without an elevator,” said Riordan, who is finishing his first twoyear term on the commission. “It will work, but not very well. We need a new building that is designed to function as a police station.”

Riordan said he won’t continue to advocate for the site near Hallmark.

He said voters have told him they want to focus on land the city already owns.

“I think that is reasonable,” he said.

He said that likely will mean a site in VenturePark, the new business/industrial park on the eastern edge of Lawrence, and a site behind the Wal-Mart at Sixth and Wakarusa are the most likely candidates for a facility.

Riordan said he’ll focus on figuring out how to fund a plan without a tax increase. He said that likely will involve delaying some road projects, including an improvement to Queens Road in West Lawrence and 19th Street leading into VenturePark. He said he does not want to delay a $2.5 million plan to rebuild portions of Ninth Street and create an arts corridor. He said delaying about $1.5 million in renovations to Fire Station No. 1 in downtown is a possibility, but he hopes to avoid it.

He said one area likely to be cut would be significant future parks and recreation projects.

“I think we have put enough toward recreation for awhile,” Riordan said. “Now I feel like we need to put it toward public safety.”

was getting good community-wide discussion in the year or more leading up to this,” Rasmussen said. “The leadership the City Commission needs to provide is to bring those types of discussions to the forefront. You have to talk about projects like this, and it can’t just be for the six months before you want to put the ink on the deal.”

Terry Riordan Riordan, a Lawrence City Commissioner and a physician, was part of the commission that put the previous police headquarters plan to a vote in November. He said he remains convinced the facilities are “totally inadequate.”

“They can function but I think they are minimally functional,” Riordan said.

“We should have done this years ago. We didn’t, but we can’t change the past, only the future.”

Riordan said he’ll make a police facilities plan a priority, but said he’ll work harder to make sure citizens are more involved in the planning process.

“Engaging the public is something we haven’t done as well as I would have liked us to do,” Riordan said. “That’s a very important part of this.

The public has to feel comfortable with the process because they haven’t in the past.”

Riordan said he’ll continue to advocate for a new, single facility rather than renovating or expanding existing facilities. He said he thinks the city made a mistake more than a decade ago when it purchased an office building at Bob Billings and Wakarusa and converted it into the current

Road in West Lawrence likely would be delayed.

So, too, would renovations for the downtown fire station, he said. He thinks the arts corridor project on Ninth Street would move forward, but was uncertain about how its timing might be impacted, or whether the city might have to take some money from its sales tax fund set aside for street maintenance to fund Ninth Street.

One area that is nearly certain to be impacted is the parks and recreation budget, he said.

“You are going to push a number of things for rebuilding and renovation further back,” Schumm said. “It will chew up a major amount of sales tax that would have gone for rehabilitation and maintenance of park facilities.

But that may be the direction the public wants to go.”

Schumm said figuring out the public’s preferences will be important before proposing a specific plan. He said he would like the City Commission to appoint a group of citizens and stakeholders who can study a variety of options.

“The last proposal was basically staff led,” Schumm said. “That was fine with me because they demonstrated the need. But the downside is we didn’t have the public engagement up front that we needed. If we don’t get that this time, we’ll end up in the same place.”

“We’re missing the bigpicture look at what we need to reduce demand for police services,” Soden said. “That’s step No. 1. I feel like this project is already a few steps down the road, and we haven’t done Step. No. 1.”

Soden said she does believe it could be feasible to expand into the significant amount of vacant space that exists at the current Investigations and Training Center at Bob Billings Parkway and Wakarusa Drive. She said the need to have all evidence stored efficiently in a single location also is important.

“But the voters just shot down a plan for a large, new headquarters, and I think there are a lot of reasons they voted no,” Soden said. “I think it is still a little inappropriate to just go all in again on a new facility and empty land.”

Soden said she wants to spend time reviewing what she calls the entire “emergency services system.” That includes the police, the fire department, the hospital and the jail. She said the city should become more involved in discussions with the county about its proposed expansion of the Douglas County Jail. That project could involve a crisis stabilization center that could serve people with mental health issues. Soden said the city needs to be involved because mental health care is the most

glaring need in the community’s emergency services system.

“I want to make mental health care an actual City Commission goal,” Soden said. “That will steer a lot of decision making at City Hall. I know a lot of people think social service agencies aren’t a core service, but I see them as an important public safety service that helps reduce demand.”

Soden said she does not support using a new sales tax to fund police improvements. She said property taxes are a better source of funding for core city services. But she said she thinks there is a way to fund needed improvements through existing funds.

She said she would look at cutting or delaying improvements to 19th Street leading into VenturePark, and improvements planned for Ninth Street. She said she would not be in favor of delaying improvements to Fire Station No. 1 in downtown.

But she said before the city can hope to pay for the police project without a tax increase, commissioners first will need to change their policies about financial incentives for development projects.

“We can do this without a tax increase, especially if we stop giving money away to developers,” Soden said. “Everyone needs to pay their fair share of taxes. That’s what has to happen first.”

Leslie Soden Soden, the owner of a Lawrence pet-sitting business, thinks the city certainly needs to address the “deferred maintenance” that has occurred at police facilities.

But Soden said she is less likely to support a major project that would build a new police headquarters facility on a vacant piece of ground.

Screwed up The city’s new recreation center is getting rave reviews, but the same can’t be said for the city’s handling of the infrastructure portion of the Rock Chalk Park project.

F

aced last week with the new information that city officials had supplied inaccurate documentation to the auditors examining the Rock Chalk Park project, Lawrence city commissioners still maintained that, despite the mistake, the findings of the auditor were basically sound.

“But we need to let it be known that we screwed up,” said City Commissioner Jeremy Farmer, “I’m deeply sorry to the public for that.”

Most Lawrence residents already know that the city generally “screwed up” on the Rock Chalk Park project. Praise for the city’s recreation center at the site, Sports Pavilion Lawrence, is flowing from throughout the community, but the process for funding the construction of roads and other infrastructure to serve both the recreation center and the outdoor facilities that will be used by Kansas Athletics left much to be desired. City officials say the sports complex will prove to be a great long-term asset for Lawrence, but several also say they would never enter into another development agreement like the one they agreed to with KU Endowment Association and Bliss Sports II. It’s good that they learned something from the experience, but the process they allowed to occur still has many local taxpayers shaking their heads.

The problem discussed at Tuesday’s city commission meeting is just the latest chapter in the saga of this mishandled project. The problem involved concrete delivery tickets that city engineers gave to the auditors. Apparently, the auditors, who were charged with examining only the costs of the infrastructure project, were given tickets for about 4,000 cubic yards of concrete used for the recreation center and other non-infrastructure work.

Tickets for another 11,000 cubic yards of concrete for the infrastructure project, however, weren’t given to the auditor.

Amazingly, lacking some tickets and using other tickets that shouldn’t have been included, the auditors still managed to conclude that all the concrete the city was being billed for had been delivered. It’s hard for the public to have much confidence in the glowing report the auditors delivered to the city when such discrepancies come to light.

It’s also hard to have much confidence in the city’s management of the project when city engineers are unable, until after the audit was complete, to determine which concrete tickets should go to the auditors and which should not.

There’s also the matter that city inspectors discovered during construction that some of the concrete was poured at a shallower depth than was called for in the design. City officials determined the small difference wouldn’t affect the integrity of the roads, but said they would pay only for the concrete that was actually poured and would deduct the shortfall from their final payment. As we now know, the city paid the maximum it had allocated for this project, with or without the additional concrete. Although 10 percent less concrete was used in the project than was called for in the plans, the city still paid the full amount.

City commissioners and administrators aren’t the only ones who would like to put issues related to Rock Chalk Park behind them, but that’s hard to do when new revelations about how this project was mishandled just keep cropping up.

GOP letter undermines realistic pact Imagine if a group of antiwar Democratic senators had penned a letter to Saddam Hussein in 2003 saying, “Don’t worry about President Bush’s war threats. We will undercut him.”

“Treachery!” Republicans would have roared. Yet 47 Republican senators have written an open letter to Iran’s clerics saying Congress or the next president will probably rescind any deal signed by President Obama without congressional approval.

This effort to scuttle talks on curbing Iran’s nuclear program is an extraordinary breach of tradition, providing the world with further evidence that the U.S. government is dysfunctional.

Even more bizarre, this appeal to the ayatollahs actually

This effort to scuttle talks on curbing Iran’s nuclear program is an extraordinary breach of tradition, providing the world with further evidence that the U.S. government is dysfunctional.” harms the effort to prevent Iran from obtaining a bomb.

The senators claim they had to act because Obama is pursuing an executive agreement rather than a formal treaty that would require two-thirds approval by the Senate. Yet, as the New York Times reported, 94 percent of accords between the United States and other countries since the 1930s have been executive agreements. (Backing out of such agreements would be an extraordinary breach of tradition.)

Moreover, the current nuclear talks are not just bilateral. They are being conducted by the permanent members of the U.N. Security Council — France, Britain, Russia, and China, with the addition of Germany, and with the United States in the lead.

U.N. involvement has made it possible to hit Tehran with global sanctions and will make it harder for Iran to break out of any agreement.

(It will also make it tougher for a future U.S. president to dismiss any accord.)

That said, if greater congressional involvement is really what these senators want, they didn’t have to write the letter. They could have waited until a framework pact was drafted and weighed in after seeing its terms.

There are indeed legitimate concerns about an accord: its length, any sunset provision, and Iran’s coming clean on past weapons activities. Also, how fast sanctions should be lifted. The administration will have to listen to Congress since sanctions can’t be fully lifted unless it approves.

But weighing in will require mastering Mideast details, not just lashing out at Obama. Republican critics have yet to offer a realistic vision of an alternative deal.

Most cling to a supposed alternative put forward by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in his controversial address to Congress.

In a nutshell, Bibi proposed that Congress tighten Iran sanctions during negotiations and claimed this would force more concessions.

On the contrary, more sanctions right now would almost certainly scuttle the talks, in which case the international community would blame Washington for the failure, and the global sanctions regime would crack.

Never mind. Bibi says sanctions must be maintained until they force Iran to end its nuclear program and become a good Mideast citizen. In other words, hold out for a perfect agreement.

The Israeli leader knows this argument is nonsense.

Global sanctions, and low oil prices, did bring Iran to the table. But history has shown that if talks fail, Iran will ramp up its nuclear program despite sanctions.

(Judging again by history, Tehran would probably stop just short of bomb production.)

In 2003, when George W. Bush spurned talks with Tehran, Iran had only 164 centrifuges, but it now has 19,000.

An interim pact put many of those centrifuges out of action, but an end to talks would, once again, set them spinning. That, in turn, would increase pressure from Republican hawks and from Israel for U.S. military strikes on Iran.

What neither Bibi nor the senators acknowledge is that such strikes would set Iran’s program back by only two to three years. Unrestrained by global sanctions or inspections, Iran would probably race for an actual bomb. In the meantime, Washington would have become enmeshed in another Mideast war.

So it’s time for those Republican senators to do some homework, and decide what they want.

Do they seek a realistic accord that would sharply

curb Iran’s nuclear program for 10 to 15 years? Or do they prefer a war that would halt it for two to three years and lead to a bomb?

Is their main goal to undermine Obama, or are they ready to work in a bipartisan fashion? If the latter, they’d better get briefed by experts. U.S. interests aren’t served by evangelical hyperbole, whether American, Israeli, or Iranian.

And before they shoot off more letters, they should listen to Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., who invoked the late Sen. Arthur Vandenberg on the Senate floor. Although Vandenberg disagreed with FDR’s efforts to squeeze Germany in the 1930s, “he did not send a letter to the chancellor of the Third Reich expressing his disagreements with the president,” she said, her voice rising. In 1947, the Michigan Republican famously insisted “politics must stop at the water’s edge.”

“We can … disagree with the president,” said Stabenow, but when “nuclear war hangs in the balance,” we should not “be in the position of publicly undermining the president … to our enemies. I don’t believe Senator Vandenberg would have become pen pals with a group of extremists. …

“It is shocking … that 47 members of this body decided to throw away 70 years of wisdom to stand on the side of … the most extreme voices in Iran.”

Disagreement shouldn’t halt dialogue This is for Gigi, who can’t figure out why I don’t like Bill Maher.

Gigi, a reader in West Palm Beach, wrote me last week noting that I agree with the star of HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher” on most political issues. Yet I have, on previous occasions in this space, expressed distaste for him. “I just don’t understand,” wrote Gigi, “why you profess to dislike someone who is so likeminded. It baffles me.”

Me, I don’t see the contradiction. To whatever admittedly imperfect degree you can judge character from a television performance, I find Maher smarmy, self-satisfied, condescending and just plain nasty. Besides which, his use of coarse, sexist vulgarisms to describe Sarah Palin and of an offensive term to describe her special-needs child a few years ago strike me as far beyond the pale, whether as comedy or as political analysis.

That said, Gigi’s letter intrigues me less for its unspoken assumption that we should flock toward people with whom we agree than for the obvious, albeit equally unspoken, corollary: We should avoid those with whom we disagree.

Her bafflement tracks with

“

… I persist in believing party does not equal character, nor ideology, identity.

I feel no imperative to like you because I agree with you. Or to dislike you because I don’t.”

the findings of a 2014 Pew Research Center study. It found that partisan animosity has increased significantly in the past 20 years, the right moving further right, the left, further left, with the result that people now largely prefer to make their lives in echo chambers where their beliefs reverberate without challenge. Half of all “consistently conservative” respondents told Pew it’s important for them to live in a place where most people think like them.

Forty-nine percent of their liberal counterparts said most

of their friends share their views.

Indeed, to a great degree, political identity now serves the same function in the public mind as racial identity — namely, as a fundamental and immutable marker of character and worth. To put that another way: Would you want your daughter to marry one? Twenty-three percent of consistent liberals say no, they would not want to see an immediate family member marry a Republican. Thirty percent of consistent conservatives feel the same about the idea of a Democrat in the family.

Look, I get it: We argue — and we have to, and we should — over momentous things. This is not a call to paper over critical political differences with false harmonies of Kumbaya. For the record, I doubt I could share a bus shelter in the rain with such conservative icons as Sean Hannity, Ted Cruz or Ben Carson. Drenching would be much preferable to five minutes with any one of them. But, as with Maher, that represents a judgment less of politics than of perceived character.

In this era, unfortunately, that’s a distinction without a difference. My problem is that I came of age in an-

other era, that I remember the likes of Bob Dole, Gerald Ford and George H.W. Bush, men with whom I could — and did — have sharp political disagreements without feeling obliged to personally dislike them or to disparage their patriotism or decency.

Having been shaped by that era, I persist in believing party does not equal character, nor ideology, identity. I feel no imperative to like you because I agree with you. Or to dislike you because I don’t.

Granted, that is an outdated and minority view, but I hold to it, largely because I can’t see how the alternative solves anything except the need to argue. If a political opponent is defined as unalterably misanthropic and irredeemably evil, then all politics is doomed to fail.

Politics, after all, is the art of compromise. You don’t compromise with monsters.

No, you compromise with people like yourself, who have wants, needs and fears like yourself, though they see the world through a different lens. That’s a truth lost to this loud and polarized time. As is this: Disagreement is not a reason to stop talking. Truth to tell, it’s a reason to start.

Washington (ap) — Republicans critical of U.S.-Iran nuclear talks contend President Barack Obama is so keen for a deal that he is ignoring Tehran’s moves to expand its influence across the Middle East.

GOP hawks maintain that Obama wants so much to burnish his legacy by negotiating an agreement to restrain Iran from becoming a nuclear-armed state that he is not pushing back against Iranian activities in Iraq, Yemen, Syria, Lebanon and Bahrain.

Secretary of State John Kerry has taken on lawmakers, including some who insist that the nuclear negotiations have hamstrung U.S. policy decisions in the region.

“Yes, Iran’s influence has spread at this moment and we are deeply concerned about it,” Kerry said at one congressional hearing. “But if you’re concerned about it now, think of what happens ... if they had a nuclear weapon.”

Republicans point to the activities of Iran, the dominant Shiite force in the Middle East, in these countries: l Iraq: Iran-backed militias are fighting alongside Iraqi forces to retake Tikrit, a Sunni stronghold seized by Islamic State militants. Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, says the U.S. worries that the militiamen, who are Shiite, eventu-

WEATHER TRIVIA™

Q:

ally might turn against Sunni and Kurdish Iraqis, further destabilizing the country. l Yemen: The Obama administration had cited Yemen as a success in the fight against terrorism. But Houthi rebels, backed by Iran, seized the capital, Sanaa, from a U.S.-backed leader who supported American drone strikes against suspected al-Qaida figures.

Nick Rasmussen, who directs the National Counter Terrorism Center, recently told the Senate Intelligence Committee that Yemen’s Americanfunded army failed to oppose advancing Houthi rebels, and that the government’s collapse surprised the U.S. l Syria: Iran supports Syrian President Bashar Assad, who has waged an unrelenting campaign of bloodshed and starvation against his own people for years and is fighting against moderates trying to topple him. On the military front, Tehran has provided advisers and billions of dollars in aid and has roped in Shiite militias from across the region, particularly Lebanon’s Hezbollah but also fighters from Iraq, to reinforce Assad’s troops. l Lebanon: Iran’s link to Lebanon is through its decades-long support for Hezbollah, Lebanon’s Shiite militant group. l Bahrain: Bahrain, which hosts the U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet, is led by a Sunni monarchy that

has struggled to quell Shiite protests demanding greater rights and equal treatment. Leaders in Bahrain claim Iran is helping Shiite militia; Iranian leaders accuse leaders in Bahrain’s capital of supporting antiIranian forces there.

“The Iranians are now in Sanaa. They’re in Baghdad and Beirut and Damascus, and meanwhile this president and secretary of state pursue the mirage of a nuclear agreement,” Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., the chairman of the Armed Services Committee, said in a recent speech.

Among the Democrats countering the GOP refrain, Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., says he shares the concern about Iran’s involvement but “this is not about turning Iran from an enemy into a friend. This is whether an enemy has a nuclear weapon or doesn’t. The administration is very realistic. If there is a good nuclear deal, we still have to confront the adventurism of Iran beyond its borders.”

In defense of the administration, Kerry says the U.S. cooperated with Israel in tracking and interdicting a ship carrying Iranian rockets going to Palestinian militants.

In December, Kerry said the U.S. helped the Bahrain Coast Guard interdict a ship carrying weapons of Iranian origin bound for its proxy groups.

IOWA STATE 70, KANSAS 66

Taken by storm

KANSAS UNIVERSITY FRESHMAN KELLY OUBRE JR. MOROSELY WATCHES THE FINAL SECONDS of the Jayhawks’ 70-66 loss to Iowa State in the championship game of the Big 12 tournament on Saturday at Sprint Center.

Kansas swept up in Cyclones’ rally

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas City, Mo. — Tears formed in Kansas University freshman Devonté Graham’s eyes as he met the media after Saturday’s 7066 loss to Iowa State in the Big 12 tournament finals in Sprint Center.

The backup point guard — who was at the opposite end of the emotional spectrum when he flexed for KU’s fans after hitting a layup to give the Jayhawks a 13-point lead late in the first half — took ownership of KU’s eighth loss of the season against 26 victories.

Stars still haven’t aligned for KU

“I just feel so bad right now, especially turning the ball over at game point like that, I feel I let the team down, the fans down,” Graham said.

Obviously, no one player could be singled out for full blame after a game in which the Cyclones (25-8) turned a 17-point second-half deficit into a seven-point lead down the stretch.

Comeback doesn’t come; LHS falls in final

WITH HIS JERSEY PULLED OVER HIS HEAD, LAWRENCE HIGH SOPHOMORE JACKSON MALLORY heads to the bench as the final buzzer sounds while Wichita East players celebrate in the background. The Blue Aces beat LHS, 58-43, Saturday at Koch Arena in Wichita.

Wichita — Lawrence High’s boys basketball players never gave up hope in the Class 6A state championship on Saturday. They trailed by double-digits against Wichita East in the fourth quarter, but they always felt they were on the verge of a comeback, no matter how slim the odds.

But the Aces always responded with a big bucket, and the Lions had their magical season end with a 58-43 loss at Wichita State’s Koch Arena.

With 43 seconds remaining, all of the LHS starters exited the game to a loud ovation from their fans. The Lions hugged each other

BALDWIN FALLS n Baldwin High’s girls basketball team fell to Hugoton in the championship game of the Class 4A-II state tournament, 68-54. Story on page 3B

and pulled their jerseys over their heads to hide their tears. They’ve always prided themselves on being such a close group of players, and that made the loss hurt so much more.

“We’ve been through a lot, and we’re a pretty tightknit group,” LHS coach Mike Lewis said after wiping tears out of his eyes.

“I’m just really proud to be connected with them.”

Little went right for the

Lions, who only led for the first three minutes of the first quarter. On the first two possessions, senior guard Anthony Bonner drilled a three-pointer, and junior point guard Justin Roberts scored on a layup, receiving a backdoor pass from junior forward Price Morgan. After that, the Lions shot 2-for-18 from the floor for the remainder of the half and fell into a 21-13 deficit at halftime.

It didn’t improve much in the second half, and the Lions finished 13-for-44 (29.5 percent) from the field and 12-for-24 at the free-throw line.

When the field of 68 is finally revealed this evening, it means the phrase “bubble watch” goes on its trip to the land of jargon until next February, when it again will be around as the regular season starts to come to a close.

This year’s bubble bunch took a hit Saturday when Wyoming beat San Diego State 45-43 in the Mountain West Conference Tournament championship game. The Cowboys have an RPI around 80, not good enough to get in as an at-large, and San Diego State, with an RPI around 25, will still get in despite the loss.

“We’ve been so close before, just seeing it slip right from our fingertips,” Wyoming senior Larry Nance Jr. said. “To know that this is ours, and there’s nothing anybody can do to take that away from us, like I said,

Angels hand KC second spring loss Surprise, Ariz. (ap) — Collin Cowgill hit a two-run double in a five-run fifth inning against Jason Vargas, and a Los Angeles Angels split squad beat the Kansas City Royals 7-6 in 10 innings Saturday.

Vargas retired the side in order in the first, but then allowed nine of the next 13 batters to reach base — eight hits and a walk. The left-hander pitched out of a bases loaded jam in the third, getting Kyle Kubitza to bounce into an inning-ending double play.

Efren Navarro doubled in the second and had three hits for Los Angeles. Kubitza homered in the sixth and also had three hits.

Nick Tropeano, who is competing for the fifth slot in the rotation, yielded two unearned runs and four hits in 31⁄3 innings.

Kendrys Morales and Matt Fields homered for the Royals. Fields’ three-run shot in the seventh tied it.

The Royals went 1-for-13 with runners in scoring position and stranded 10 base-runners. They had two runners on in the ninth, but RF Bubba Starling struck out. “We had our chances late, but couldn’t put the ball in play,” Royals manager Ned Yost said.

Royals LF Alex Gordon, who is recovering from December right wrist surgery, is penciled in to take batting practice Monday off minor-league pitchers.

Hugoton stops Baldwin girls for title J-W Staff Reports

Park City — Hugoton’s quickness proved to be the difference Saturday in the 4A Division II state girls basketball championship game.

Hugoton sophomore guard Amy Scott had 25 points, and freshman point guard Dallie Hoskinson added 22 points, going 5-for-9 from the field and 11-for-12 from the line, as the Eagles downed Baldwin, 68-54.

With a short, quick lineup that featured no one taller than 5-foot-9, Hugoton was able to negate Baldwin’s full-court pressure, a weapon that forced 38 turnovers and set up numerous layups in the Bulldogs’ first two state tournament games.

“I knew that going in they were quick,” Baldwin coach Bob Martin said. “We decided we had

to do what we do best against what they do best.

They were a little better tonight.”

It was the Bulldogs who were careless with the ball early against the Eagles’ match-up zone, making eight first-quarter miscues. Baldwin was able to right that problem the remainder of the game, but the early turnovers prevented the team from taking advantage of center Alexia Stein’s presence in the first quarter.

The 6-1 senior finished with 14 points. Senior Maddie Ogle was effective inside and outside, scoring a team-high 22-points for the Bulldogs and finishing the threegame state tournament with 60 points.

Also hurting the Bulldogs was early foul trouble. Starting junior guard Madeline Neufeld

Kathryn Heger made two of her three treys on the night.

Baldwin scored the game’s next seven points with a trey from sophomore Taylor Cawley, a basket inside from Stein and a steal and layup from Abby Ogle, but Hugoton scored the last four points of the half, taking a 35-26 at the break.

Baldwin finished with a 21-4 record. Hugoton was 22-2.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY CATCHER Maddie Stein gets a cheer from KU coach Megan Smith after Stein made a sliding catch against Idaho State on Saturday at Arrocha Ballpark.

BRIEFLY KU softball tops Idaho State Four Jayhawks had multi-hit games in the Kansas University softball team’s 10-2 five-inning victory over Idaho State on Saturday at Arrocha Ballpark.

Chaley Brickey went 3-for-3 with two RBIs, while Daniella Chavez, Shannon McGinley and Briana Evans had two hits apiece.

Kansas (23-2) jumped to a 3-0 lead in the third and then broke the game open with a seven-run fourth, which was capped by a three-run homer from Chanin Naudin.

The Jayhawks will look to extend their winning streak to five games when they take on NebraskaOmaha at 2:30 p.m. today at Arrocha Ballpark.

3,432 points was enough to give her second-team All-America status for the second time in her career.

Vollmer was third in the 60-meter hurdles in a time of 8.29, breaking Ashley Brown’s school record.

Vollmer went 5-93⁄4 in the high jump, 39-83⁄4 in the shot put and 18-81⁄2 in the long jump.

She was fifth overall entering the 800 meters.

“We lost to a good basketball team,” Lewis said. “They’re physical.

They’ve got good balance amongst their team.

I just wish we would have played a little bit better.”

With 2:27 remaining, the Lions used a 11-3 run to cut the score to 51-40.

Roberts, who finished with 18 points, hit two three-pointers, and Bonner and Morgan added layups. But the Lions never moved any closer.

“Those last couple minutes, I knew it was going to be tough,” Morgan said. “We had a run, and Wichita East would respond with a three, an

and-one or a big layup. A lot of credit to them. But I know all of our guys were really confident that we were going to make that comeback, that we were going to get on that run.

Unfortunately, it just didn’t happen.”

The Lions ended the season with a 23-2 record, with both losses against Wichita East. It’s the seventh time in school history the Lions finished as state runner-up.

The players emerged from the locker room afterward with red and puffy eyes, knowing how close they were to achieving a state championship together.

“I love these guys so

Kansas CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

with 48 seconds to play, but he believes he erred big-time on KU’s ensuing possession.

He lobbed a pass into Landen Lucas that was batted and stolen by Georges Niang (19 points, five boards). ISU hit one of two free throws on the next trip down-court to up the lead to 66-63 at :23.8.

“He (Lucas) came off a screen. I thought he was open, so I lobbed it up there,” said Graham, who scored seven points with four assists and just the one turnover in 24 minutes.

“Georges ... (or) somebody got a hand on it.”

Lucas, who scored six points and had five boards in 24 minutes, deflected the blame to himself.

“He (Graham) is feeling hurt about that. That’s on me,” Lucas said. “Me, personally ... I should have shifted my momentum and went after it and got up there. We talk about 50/50 balls. That was one of them. I failed on that. I should have got that ball.

We can’t dwell on plays.

We have to move past that, but I’ve got to make sure that doesn’t happen in the (NCAA) tournament. That could send us home. I’ve got to do better next time.”

Another Jayhawk who

was feeling personally responsible for the titlegame setback was freshman Kelly Oubre Jr., who scored three points off 1-of3 shooting in 17 minutes.

“Terrible,” Oubre said of his performance. He played just seven minutes the first half and 10 the second. “I had an and-one (in first half) for my only points. I was trying to force it, get to the paint, to the rim. There was nothing going on. They had a big wall there in the paint. I didn’t do anything. I wasn’t a factor in the second half. I take responsibility for not doing my part, not being there for my team.”

ISU overcame the largest halftime deficit in a Big 12 championship final (14 points). Previously, Oklahoma came back from 12 down to beat Texas, 54-45, in 2001.

“I feel it was all on the defensive end. They scored a lot of points the second half,” said KU sophomore Wayne Selden Jr., who scored 25 points off 8-of-12 shooting in 35 minutes and was the only KU player named to the five-player all-tournament team.

ISU outscored KU 4729 the second half after scoring just 23 points the first half.

“We basically played a pitiful half of basketball and a really good half of basketball. It was polar opposite,” KU coach Bill Self said.

Landen is out there fighting through it (hip, knee, back problems), and Perry (Ellis, seven points, nine boards while wearing knee brace) is fighting through it, and we have some other guys nicked up (Frank Mason bumps, bruises) and we need to take a couple of days and regroup and get our batteries recharged.”

will be healthy for the upcoming NCAAs. “Perry did well. It was a lot for him to come back two days in a row, that was obvious,” Self said.

“It’s only been nine days today. Give him six more days. I thought he made positive strides. He didn’t play particularly great in the tournament. We didn’t expect him to. The purpose for him playing

in the tournament more than anything else was getting him ready to play next week.

“Landen needs three or four days with his nagging stuff. Frank obviously needs a couple of days, but I think we will be as close to whole as we have been in a long time by the time Thursday or Friday rolls around.”

The Jayhawks, who will learn their postseason fate while turning into CBS’ Selection Show at 5 p.m. today, planned to think about this defeat for a few hours at least.

“We have had plenty of lessons this season. This is one that stings the most.

We couldn’t close it out,” Oubre said. “It will be in the back of our minds. We have to focus and get back to playing Kansas basketball. We have a fresh start coming up. We have to regroup and continue to get better in the gym and be a team.”

Noted Self: “Frustrated is a good word. (But) this is the quickest turnaround, win or lose, you have all year long. Tomorrow it doesn’t matter if we won this game. I hate to say that, it doesn’t. It doesn’t matter if we lost, doesn’t matter if we won tomorrow. That’s the beauty of this deal when you know you are going to the tournament. If you play, you’ve got to win. We didn’t get it done. This isn’t the worst thing that’s ever happened to us.”

Stream away the March movie blues The best thrillers available to watch on Netflix, Amazon Prime

T

he mid-March blues are officially in full swing, film fans. If this post-Oscar, pre-summer netherworld of humdrum movie releases has got you down, it might be a good time to catch up on some home viewing.

Nothing can cure this feeling quite like a solid, enthralling suspense thriller, so here’s some recommendations for new releases on Blu-ray, Netflix and Amazon Prime: Criterion has the best back-catalog around, and many of its titles are now streaming on iTunes and Hulu Plus, but “Don’t Look Now” is still brand new to their collection, so it’s only available on Blu-ray right now. This creepy gothic thriller has influenced an entire generation of filmmakers and is regularly included on critics’ “best of” lists of classic horror/suspense films.

Released in 1973, it stars Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland as a couple mourning the loss of their daughter in a drowning accident. A business trip to Venice only heightens their pain, and weird things start to happen.

Director Nicolas Roeg highlights the couple’s growing unease with a non-linear editing style that mirrors their own alienation and leaves the viewer emotionally spent.

SCENE STEALERS

ERIC MELIN

Dunst as an American couple vacationing in Greece in 1962. Oscar Isaac plays mysterious stranger who is either fleecing them or helping them out of trouble. It’s a great daylight noir with some surprising turns.

Jeremy Saulnier’s directorial debut “Blue Ruin” is a revenge thriller, but don’t let that turn you off. This independent feature is as taut and nerve-wracking as they come, especially because the more you learn about its lead character, the more out of his depth he seems.

“The Double,” starring Jesse Eisenberg as an office drone in a grim alternate reality, is as much a dark comedy as it is a thriller. Writer/director Richard Ayoade based the film on the novella

by Fyodor Dostoyevsky.

Depending on your interpretation, it either has elements of magical realism or Eisenberg’s Netflix character has suffered a On Netflix streaming crippling psychological right now, the thrillers break, because he is sudsection is mostly a cessdenly competing at work pool of forgotten films, with an identical version straight-to-DVD releases, of himself.

More recommended or b-movie knockoffs of from Netflix: Hollywood titles, like l “Following,” the low“Curse of the Zodiac.” budget, black-and-white (You can be cursed into becoming a serial killer?) debut crime film from Christopher Nolan.

available on Amazon Prime). l “You’re Next,” a fun, twisty home-invasion thriller from both the writer and director of “The Guest” (also available on Amazon Prime).

Amazon Prime The best movie of 2014, Jonathan Glazer’s brilliant and disturbing “Under the Skin,” is currently streaming for free on Amazon Prime, along with two other chilling soon-to-be classics.

“Coherence” is a fascinating low-budget indie that stretches a bizarre premise (the effect of a passing comet on a dinner party) as far as it can go, while limiting its focus. It’s a smart strategy because it lets the mind-bending screenplay do the heavy lifting, avoiding the need for multiple locations and special effects.

“Borgman” also stems from psychological terror, as if it were borne out of the nightmare of

mothers everywhere. A stranger worms his way into the trust of a family, but he clearly has ulterior motives in this allegorical thriller, which was the Dutch entry for the best foreign language film at the 2014 Oscars.

This one will haunt you.

Here’s more.

More recommended from Amazon Prime: l “Mother,” a dark tale that defies expectations from “Snowpiercer” director Bong Joon-ho. l “We Need to Talk About Kevin,” Lynne Ramsay’s divisive tale about a mother (Tilda Swinton) at the end of her rope. l “Timecrimes,” a modest time-travel movie that’s helped by its limited scope. l “The Grifters,” a crackling Jim Thompson adaptation about a con man with mommy issues, starring John Cusack, Anjelica Huston and Annette Bening.

Husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family detached at sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funeral Dear Annie: Our only child passed away last year after a long battle with cancer. He was in his early 20s, and we were grateful that my family and many of his college friends were by his side throughout.

The problem is my husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side of the family. With the exception of his 88-year-old mother, who lives far away and phoned regularly, the rest of his family did nothing. My husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sister and brother and their children visited once early on, and that was it. My husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sister came to our house for a few hours, and my brotherin-law shocked us by telling story after story of people he knew who had cancer and suffered horribly. I asked him to stop, but he seemed unable to help himself.

This sister lives with-

in an hour of the hospital. They were part of an email chain that I used to keep family and friends updated on our sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s condition. As he worsened, we sent word that they were welcome to come to the ICU, but not once did any of his paternal aunts, uncles or cousins call to see how he was holding up.

They showed up at the funeral and barely spoke to us, except for my brother-in-law, who

Bravo, E! go back to the script â&#x20AC;&#x153;When will reality TV die?â&#x20AC;?

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a question Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been asked for more than 15 years now, from a wide variety of people (even strangers in the supermarket!) consumed with a death wish for a genre they despise.

While â&#x20AC;&#x153;Survivor,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Bachelorâ&#x20AC;? and even â&#x20AC;&#x153;Celebrity Apprenticeâ&#x20AC;? still endure, it would be premature to pick out a crypt for reality television just yet.

But there are creeping intimations of its mortality.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interesting to note that Bravo and now E! â&#x20AC;&#x201D; networks all but defined by throwaway guilty-pleasure reality programming â&#x20AC;&#x201D; have suddenly entered the market for scripted series. Bravoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s series, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Girlfriendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Guide to Divorce,â&#x20AC;? dovetailed nicely with its â&#x20AC;&#x153;Real Housewivesâ&#x20AC;?-heavy programming. It starred Lisa Edelstein, who sometimes appears like a more-Hollywood version of Bravo personality Bethenny Frankel (â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Real Housewives of New York Cityâ&#x20AC;?).

E! enters the fray with â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Royalsâ&#x20AC;? (9 p.m.). It, too, fits in nicely with the networkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s identity. Elizabeth Hurley stars as the queen of an unruly British dynasty with more than a few semblances to the unmerry wives and ex-husbands of Windsor. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long on arch dialogue, withering put-downs and fashion disasters worn by ditzy cast-off relatives clearly patterned on real royals recognizable to those who care about such things. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Royalsâ&#x20AC;? airs after a brand-new episode of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Keeping Up With the Kardashiansâ&#x20AC;? (8 p.m.). That pretty much sets the tone for the evening.

told us heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d heard rock salt could cure cancer.

The niece who once babysat my son said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wish I would have visited him at the hospital.â&#x20AC;? My reply was, â&#x20AC;&#x153;So do I.â&#x20AC;? That was the last time we spoke.

I am now done with that side of the family.

But I feel sorry for my husband, who wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get so much as a call or text on our sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthday or the anniversary of his passing. He has told me he wishes his family could be as supportive as mine. My family loves him. Tell me, Annie, how can relatives be so uncaring? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sad Wife Dear Sad: Please know how sorry we are for your heartbreaking loss. The death of a child is one of the hardest things to bear. We cannot explain why these rela-

UNIVERSAL CROSSWORD Universal Crossword Edited by Timothy E. Parker March 15, 2015

tives seem so disinterested, but based on your brother-in-lawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behavior and that of your niece, they are awkward and uncomfortable in such situations, so they avoid them. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize that their presence alone can be comforting, that they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to fill the silence with conversation, and that they need to put aside their discomfort for their familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sake.

You could phone them and suggest they call your husband on these occasions to say they are thinking of him, but there are no guarantees that they will do so. We are glad he has your family to fill the gap. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Send questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or Annieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mailbox, P.O. Box 118190 Chicago, IL 60611.
