Reporting rape: Empower victims or collect evidence?

———

Anonymous sexual assault exams one way to bridge approaches

By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

Two tenets of reporting sexual assaults — especially ones involving an acquaintance and alcohol that make up the majority of campus rapes — seem in direct conflict.

Empower victims to report only if, when and to whom they feel comfortable, even if that’s months or years later.

Or, report immediately to preserve evidence and increase chances the perpetrator will be brought to justice, either through a university or criminal investigation.

“It’s such an incredibly personal crime, because we know sexual assault is mostly perpetrated by acquaintances and loved ones,” said Chrissy Heikkila, executive director of the Sexual Trauma and Abuse Care Center, formerly GaDuGi SafeCenter. “Sometimes they (victims) are not even sure that it’s criminal.”

Experts say certain steps can help bridge that empowerment-versusevidence divide, most notably getting a sexual assault exam anonymously to be processed later if desired. At the same time, DNA samples or photographs that might be collected in a rape kit are only a few of the tools

“

After the event there’s just a number of things we can do immediately that, over time, get lost.

Once the evidence is lost, you can’t get that back.”

— Sgt. Trent McKinley, Lawrence Police Department spokesman investigators can use to help substantiate a case.

“After the event there’s just a number of things we can do immediately that, over time, get lost,” said Sgt. Trent McKinley, Lawrence Police Department spokesman. “Once the evidence is lost, you can’t get that back.”

Local law enforcement representatives and sexual assault victim advocates both say it’s important to inform victims and let them choose whether to file a report.

However, it’s true that acquaintance rapes are notoriously difficult to prosecute in court, and hard evidence can only help.

University investigations have a much lower standard of proof — requiring only a preponderance of the evidence instead of “beyond a reasonable doubt” Please see RAPE, page 2A

DEATHS

HOW TO HELP

PROFESSOR STEPHEN J. PARKER Professor Stephen J. Parker, born August 5, 1939 in Brooklyn, New York, died on March 14, 2016 of complication from Alzheimer’s with his family around him. He spent 44 of his years as a professor of Russian literature at the University of Kansas, 13 of those as Chairman of the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures. He became one of the world’s preeminent experts on Vladimir Nabokov, under whom he studied during his years at Cornell, where he received his BA and PhD. During his years at KU, he served as a mentor to numerous students and as a leader in the academic community.

Spending so much of his life in Kansas, he became an avid hunter and fisherman and an ardent Jayhawks basketball fan.

He served as faculty mentor to the KU basketball team for a number of years and as a member of the KU Athletic Board. He was respected and loved by many who were lucky enough to get to know him professionally or personally.

More than anything, he was a loving husband, father and grandfather.

He is

survived by and will be dearly missed by his wife Marie­Luce Parker; his daughter Sandra McGill and her husband Richard and their children Emily and Annie of Chicago IL; and his son Richard Parker and his wife Kristin and their children Benjamin, William and Lily of Glencoe, IL. There will be a celebration of his life for family and friends at a later date.

Contributions may be made in his name to the Alzheimer's Association or the KU Endowment Association and may be sent in care of Warren­ McElwain Mortuary.

Online condolences may be sent to www.warrenmcelwain.co m.

to find someone guilty — but evidence still is important for a thorough case.

“If they are interested in pursuing a criminal investigation, the sooner the better,” Heikkila said. “Because the farther away from the crime, it’s more likely to become to what people call a hesaid-she-said case.”

Reporting delay ‘the norm’ National statistics show that in 85 percent of campus sexual assaults, the victim knows the offender, said Jen Brockman, director of Kansas University’s new Sexual Assault Prevention and Education Center.

In 72 percent of campus sexual assaults, one or both parties were under the influence of alcohol or drugs, Brockman said. Often that takes the form of rapists using alcohol as a “vehicle” to commit crimes, including with incapacitated victims, she said.

KU’s Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access, which investigates sexual assaults between students as required by the federal Title IX law, tracks cases by when they are opened and closed, KU spokeswoman Erinn BarcombPeterson said. She said the office doesn’t have data on how long after alleged incidents those cases are opened.

Brockman said she’s unaware of national statistics

L awrence J ournal -W orld

indicating how long victims take to report to universities or law enforcement, if they report at all.

But she has worked 14 years in victim advocacy and prevention, at two other Division I campuses prior to KU, and said she has seen most victims wait.

“The delay in reporting is the norm,” she said. “There are a lot of reasons, a lot of different hurdles, that survivors face in coming forward — and coming forward quickly.”

Foremost, she said, is self-doubt and blame.

Victims often need time to understand that what happened to them was sexual violence.

Also, Brockman said, research shows that the brain operates under “trauma response mode” for the first 96 hours after an incident, and victims don’t have strong decision-making capabilities or memory recall.

“Survivors taking time before making that first police report can actually be beneficial,” Brockman said.

“Even though that’s not what our criminal justice system supports right now.”

Anonymous rape kits buy time Since 2009, Kansas law has required public medical facilities to perform sexual assault exams at victims’ request, free of charge to the victims.

Rape kits collected anonymously are sealed and sent to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, where they are destroyed after five years, according to the law. Anytime before then, victims can request that results be

“That’s an option that most survivors don’t realize,” Brockman said.

That buys them some time to decide what to do next, she said, and during the same visit they also can receive emergency contraception and treatment to prevent sexually transmitted infections.

Lawrence Memorial Hospital performed about 70 sexual assault examinations last year, roughly 10 to 12 percent of which were done anonymously, said nurse Terri Woodson, the hospital’s Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners, or SANE, coordinator.

Victims have up to 120 hours after an assault to request an anonymous, free exam in the emergency room, Woodson said. She said the hospital makes exceptions for special circumstances, such as victims who were bedridden or kidnapped and held in the same clothes for longer than that window.

other categories of evidence police would look for, ideally as soon as possible.

Cellphone call and text records — which can show who involved parties were communicating with around the time of an incident — are one, he said. Without a special order, wireless carriers often purge that electronic data.

Sometimes, business or public surveillance cameras can show where involved parties were at a certain point in time.

“We always go and ask,” McKinley said, but without intervention those recordings get purged, too, sometimes automatically in a week or less.

Witnesses and verbal accounts are another category of evidence that’s valuable to sexual assault investigations, McKinley said.

“If you wait a period of time, say a year or more, and try to question somebody, even the most cooperative of witnesses may have a very difficult time recalling the specifics of that event,” he said. “The other thing that’s challenging for us is just to be able to track people down.”

That can be especially true for cases involving college students, he said.

Finding people who have gone home over a break or moved away after graduation can be difficult.

University investigations consider much of the same type of evidence when it’s available.

Other evidence, beyond biological Without law enforcement involvement, detectives couldn’t swab a crime scene for evidence, for example, Woodson said.

Also, in cases where drug-facilitated assault is suspected, urine specimens are not part of the anonymous rape kit option, she said. They don’t “hold” and must be collected and sent to the ‘That never happened’ For victims who aren’t Kansas Bureau of Investigation for testing quickly. ready to come forward McKinley highlighted but think they might

later, Brockman said she encourages them to consider an anonymous rape kit and saving whatever they can on their own.

That might mean downloading screen shots of text messages or saving an article of clothing or bedding, ideally in a paper bag instead of plastic, she said. Documenting the incident in a journal also is good.

Even though a survivor’s verbal disclosure alone is enough to pursue an investigation, “these cases are really hard to prosecute,” Brockman said. “That evidence helps to provide continuity in the statements, corroboration.”

With nothing but a victim’s word it’s easy for a suspect to say, “That never happened,” McKinley said.

If there’s evidence proving that a sexual encounter did in fact occur, then that argument goes away and law enforcement and prosecutors can move on to corroborating a victim’s statement that the encounter was not consensual, McKinley said.

“We don’t want someone to get away,” McKinley said. “If somebody has a propensity for doing this sort of violent thing, they may have done it to others in the past, and they may do it to others in the future. However, it still comes down to a personal choice on the part of the victim — every situation is a little bit different, and every victim is a little bit different.”

Local legislators: Session ‘not going well for the good guys’

By Peter Hancock

“

We hear a lot over there about how the tyrannical federal government is taking our freedom away, but we turn around and do There have been a few exactly the same thing to our local units of bright spots in the 2016 legislative session in Kan- government.”

Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

sas, but for the most part it’s been frustrating, if not completely strange.

That was the assessment of all five Lawrence legislators who shared their views of the session to an audience of about two dozen people at a breakfast Saturday at Maceli’s hosted by The Chamber of Lawrence as part of the group’s Legislative Series.

Because the delegation is made up of four Democrats and one moderate Republican, it is frequently at odds with the conservative Republican leadership in both chambers, and the policies of Republican Gov. Sam Brownback.

“I know you all are wondering if the most important issues have been tackled, and we have allowed air guns in schools now, so that is taken care of,” said Rep. John Wilson, a Democrat.

He was referring to House Bill 2468, which passed the House Thursday and will be heard in a Senate committee on Tuesday. It would require schools to make their facilities available

— Rep. Boog Highberger, D-Lawrence to organizations that conduct air gun training and competitions.

But Wilson said some legislation that he supports is making its way through the process, including water conservation measures and establishing a foster care oversight committee.

“As you have probably read in the media, there are some serious concerns about foster care in the state,” he said.

Sen. Marci Francisco said the most interesting legislation in the Senate so far has been the school finance bill that is meant to respond to a recent Kansas Supreme Court decision that struck down the current method of distributing certain kinds of state aid to school districts.

“It was interesting because they named it the Court Ordered Redistribution of District Funds Act,” she said.

That bill would provide more aid to the Lawrence school district that could

only be used to lower the district’s mill levy. But it would also reduce the district’s overall spending authority by nearly $825,000.

Rep. Boog Highberger said that for him, the theme of the session so far has been about taking away local control.

Besides the bill requiring schools to allow BB gun clubs, he noted other bills that would mandate “opt-in” policies for sex education in schools, a recent bill that prohibits cities from regulating nutritional content of food sold in retail outlets, and a bill that the House is scheduled to debate this week that specifically targets Lawrence by prohibiting cities from enacting “inclusionary zoning laws to promote mixedincome neighborhoods.”

“We hear a lot over there about how the tyrannical federal government is taking our freedom away, but we turn around and do exactly the same thing to our lo-

“You know, we’re going into our second legislative session with an unstable budget, no clear path to get out, and we were expecting the governor to give us a budget that balanced, and he hasn’t,” said Sen. Jim Denning, R-Overland Park.

“I’ve said it many times.

We’re fatigued, we’re angry, we’re mad.”

Rep. John Barker, RAbilene, said there’s a similar level of frustration in the House.

“I understand that he’s saying the Legislature is the appropriator,” he said. “But he also has to have a plan for us to appropriate, and that’s what we like. I just feel that the House, much like the Senate, feels very frustrated with that, and I think they may show their frustration should those two items come up before the House.”

Brownback’s press secretary, Eileen Hawley, however, said the governor has been consulting with legislative leaders on a daily basis about the budget and, “We feel that it would be inappropriate for the governor to put forward a plan without first consulting with the legislative branch.”

Rep. Mark Hutton, RWichita, who serves on both the tax and budget committees in the House, also said there are similar feelings among GOP lawmakers in the House.

“I might tend to reclassify it more as frustration than anger,” he said. “I think it gets expressed as anger sometimes. But I think there is a growing frustration (over) how the communication has occurred between the executive branch and the legislative branch. I think that’s fair.

“For me, my frustration kind of hit an all-time high when the governor came out and said this session, we don’t have a revenue problem, we have a spending problem,” he said. “Number one, I’m really sick of hearing that. But number two, this is the same governor that sent us a budget last year that required us to raise taxes to meet his budget.

“And if he really believed that we had a spending problem, why

Pictured in the background are Senate President Susan Wagle, R-Wichita, left, and Speaker of the House Ray Merrick, R-Stilwell. Some GOP lawmakers in the Legislature are becoming frustrated with the Brownback administration over budget and finance decisions. did he send us a budget that required us to raise taxes?” Hutton asked. “It would have made last year a lot easier. We’d have been gone a lot sooner if he would have fulfilled that responsibility. But he didn’t. And I just don’t think he can have it both ways. And that frustrates me.”

Responding to Hutton and Denning, Hawley noted that both of those members have called for repealing, or scaling back, a controversial tax cut enacted in 2012 that exempted nonwage income of more than 330,000 business owners from taxation.

“Representative Hutton and Senator Denning are frustrated the governor will not support a tax increase,” she said.

“We understand and respect their position. The governor, however, will continue to work with legislators on options for balancing the budget through a reduction of expenditures rather than an increase in taxes.”

Much of the GOP lawmakers’ frustration might have remained hidden below the surface, but for the controversies that

erupted over the two veto items.

Docking building demolition One of those involved a bill that specifically prohibited the administration from contracting to demolish the Docking State Office Building in Topeka, and blocked the spending of any money to relocate its “power plant,” equipment that sends heating and air conditioning to all the buildings in the Capitol area complex, without legislative approval.

Lawmakers, after consulting with the attorney general’s office and the Department of Administration, concluded that was the cheapest way to get out of contracts that the administration had already signed without their knowledge.

But Brownback vetoed the bill, then canceled the contracts on his own, which resulted in the state paying $2.1 million in penalties and other charges for backing out of the contract.

“In the Department of Corrections, we were looking for about $2 million to give them a raise,”

cal units of government,” Highberger said.

But he also noted progress on bills that he has worked on in the Corrections and Juvenile Justice Committee to overhaul the state’s juvenile justice code. Different versions of that bill have passed both chambers of the Legislature, and they will next be negotiated in a conference committee.

Rep. Tom Sloan, the only Republican in the Lawrence delegation, said he has been disappointed with the session so far.

“Things have not been going well for the good guys,” he said. “I think that this whole session has been set up to help folks get re-elected who support the governor’s tax policies, and the shrinking of government and, from my perspective, the abdication of responsibilities the government has.”

Sloan said he believes the most important legislation that has passed so far is the budget, which contains a proviso that says if the state’s projected ending balance falls below $100 million, the governor has the option of making targeted spending cuts after legislators go home.

“So legislators are not having to vote on budget

reductions to match the revenue that’s not showing up, but they’re going to allow the governor to make those cuts,” he said.

“The governor’s not going to run for re-election.

This shields a lot of legislators from irate voters.”

Many of the questions and comments for the lawmakers came from other local elected officials, including Lawrence school board member Shannon Kimball, who talked about why school officials from Lawrence and elsewhere did not show up to testify in hearings on school finance bills.

Senate Ways and Means chairman Ty Masterson, R-Andover, noted last week that he was surprised by the apparent lack of interest in the bills.

“They’re complaining about us not being there to give them input, but we have very little notice,” she said. “By the time we know what’s on the calendar and when it’s going to be heard, a lot of times the deadlines have passed already for us to provide testimony.

If we’re going to provide input as a board ... it takes more than 24 hours to coordinate that because we have to have a public meeting in order to have an official position.”

Douglas County Commissioner Mike Gaughan asked about the proposed sale of the state’s interests in the Kansas Bioscience Authority and what the Legislature’s vision is for the future of the Kansas economy.

“The guiding principle has been, Kansans know better how to spend their money than the government, and we should put more money in the pockets of Kansans,” Wilson said. “But that’s the extent of their vision for what the future of economic growth looks like in Kansas.”

“But it was also $35 million that we were putting into it, and we were looking for money,” said Rep. Barbara Ballard. “And then they got ticked off with part of the leadership, and as a result of that it became very convenient to start to eliminate some of the things.”

Lawmakers will begin the final week of the 2016 regular session on Monday. They will return in late April for a wrapup session to finalize the state budget in line with updated revenue estimates that will be released in mid-April.

Denning said. “We just spent it unnecessarily.

That’s the kind of stuff that’s driving us crazy.”

What was most surprising to senators, though, was that when the Senate first started debating the override, Brownback began issuing statements, and posting messages on Twitter, saying that an override could jeopardize the state’s bond rating.

It was an argument never raised during the original debate on the bill, and it wasn’t mentioned in Brownback’s veto message on March 4.

“I can tell you that when (Sen.) Kay (Wolf, R-Prairie Village) stood up to make that motion, I have never seen such an outpouring from the second floor with press releases and texts and phone calls to try and stop an act of the Legislature,” said Senate President Susan Wagle, of Wichita, referring to the governor’s office, which is located on the second floor of the Statehouse.

Sen. Ty Masterson, RAndover, who chairs the Ways and Means Committee, accepted responsibility for that, saying he advised the governor not to air the concerns about the state’s bond rating publicly, out of concern that a public discussion by itself could raise concerns in the bond market.

That’s when Sen. Michael O’Donnell, RWichita, who was elected to the Senate in 2012 largely with support from Brownback and the Kansas Chamber, erupted.

“But the governor chose to do it on Twitter, did he not?” O’Donnell said. “So if we are not trying to publicly announce this, if this is an issue, do we as a Legislature get advice from our chief executive via Twitter that there’s a problem?”

“This is insane,” O’Donnell said later in the discussion.

Hawley said Brownback had tried to resolve that issue with Senate leadership and that he articulated his concerns to Wagle before he announced his veto of the bill.

“However, after a discussion of the bond rating issue had already begun on the Senate floor it became clear that an amicable resolution was not going to be possible,” she said.

That veto override fell one vote short, 26-13, of the two-thirds majority needed. One senator, Jeff Melcher, R-Leawood, was absent.

one being considered to sell off the state’s interest in future tobacco settlement payments.

“I think when we walked out the door (last year) and we knew that we were bonding KPERS for $1 billion — and we were hesitant on that, but our financial advisers said that would work — and then (the Kansas Department of Transportation) bonded $400-plus million after we left with interest payments only for 10 years, I think we were rather concerned,” Wagle said. “I think most of our legislators are very concerned about being structurally in a deficit situation right now.”

In response, Hawley, Brownback’s press secretary, said: “President Wagle has decided to work with moderates and Democrats to attack conservatives like Sen. Mary Pilcher-Cook (RShawnee) and Sam Brownback because she is frustrated with them for blocking her efforts to expand Obamacare and raise income taxes, and she knows the media will reward her with positive coverage for doing so.”

In an email, Wagle did not directly respond to that comment but said it’s unquestionable that the state faces a tremendous fiscal challenge.

“More money is being spent by state government than is coming in from taxes and fees. That is just a fact,” Wagle said.

“A number of legislators have proposed and continue to propose solutions to balance the state budget,” she said. “I am certain that the House, the Senate and the Governor will be more supportive of some of the ideas that are being put forth than others and it may be that there are differences in opinion amongst our co-equal branches of government as to how Kansas can best deal with these challenges.”

Meanwhile Denning, the Overland Park senator, said he’s not sure whether the recent controversies will affect Brownback’s ability to push his agenda through the Legislature.

“I think that really depends on what the issue is,” he said.

STAR bonds veto Denning spearheaded a second override attempt that was successful. It concerned a budget proviso blocking the formation of any new sales tax revenue, or STAR, bond districts in Wyandotte County until new legislation is enacted to reform the STAR bond process.

He said he did so because sales tax revenues from the Village West shopping area in Kansas City are due to start coming back on the tax rolls next year.

But Denning said lawmakers didn’t learn until recently that those revenues were not being counted in the governor’s budget projections because the governor was planning to use that money, more than $42 million a year, to finance new STAR bonds in another district that has not yet been approved.

Rep. Hutton said that deal raised even more questions about the governor’s management of state finances.

“You’re spending $42 million, or committing $42 million of sales tax revenue to something when he’s sitting there telling us we have a spending problem and not a revenue problem,” he said. “It just didn’t make sense to me.

And that’s frustrating.”

The House, however, probably will not vote on that veto override because the Senate has since passed a STAR bonds reform bill, and if the House agrees to that bill and the governor signs it, the budget proviso will become a moot point.

Eroding GOP support At one point during a recent caucus meeting on the veto override, Wagle asked that the media and state agency staff leave the room so the Republican senators could discuss internal strategy in private.

Afterward, Wagle spoke with reporters and said lawmakers have growing concerns about the governor’s management, and that could affect his ability to get future initiatives through the Legislature, such as

Bullying CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Anthea Scouffas, director of engagement and education at the Lied Center, said she thinks the play will hit close to home for many students.

“Because some students are the students who are bullied, there are the students who bully, and then there are the students who stand by and see it happen and sometimes do something, many times don’t do anything,” Scouffas said.

The idea of addressing bullying and photo sharing in a play is to help students — whether they are the victim, perpetrator or a bystander — to feel empathy for all perspectives, Scouffas said.

“I think anytime you can portray issues like this on the stage where, not just young people, but anybody can watch something being acted out, you can connect with it without having to go through it yourself,” she said.

Nearly one in four students ages 12 through 18 in the U.S. report being bullied, according to a National Center for Education Statistics survey conducted in 2013 and released last year.

Among respondents, about 7 percent said they had been cyberbullied. The most common way students reported being cyberbullied was unwanted text messages, followed by the posting of hurtful information online.

“Out of Bounds” was created by the Working Group Theatre Company, with support from the University of Iowa’s College of Public Health and Injury Prevention Research Center and the Iowa Arts Council, according to the company’s

L awrence J ournal -W orld

website. The creators interviewed teachers, guidance counselors, police officers, social workers, parents and kids for the project.

The reason for the bullying the main character, Amy, faces is also key. The sharing of inappropriate photos among teens is a topic of concern nationwide, and Lawrence is no exception. Lawrence school resource officers and juvenile investigators with the Lawrence Police Department recently told attendees at a social media night for parents that it’s a problem in the district.

Investigators said a common situation involves explicit photos that are sent between two teens in a romantic relationship, which are then distributed widely after a breakup.

Social media nights for parents were hosted at all four middle schools this year, and the Lied Center performance also gives parents the chance to get involved. After students attend the play during the school day on Thursday or Friday, there will also be a performance specifically for parents. The parent performance is told from the perspective of Amy’s mom and will be held Friday at 7:30 p.m.

That format is new for the Lied Center, and Scouffas said she hopes it will make a difference.

“We can provide these opportunities for kids, but we don’t know how far it goes when they get home,” she said. “But if a parent gets to see the story as well, maybe that will open up more conversation for the families to talk about issues of bullying and what they might be able to do proactively.”

On Monday, Lawrence middle school students will be given a guide to the play, which provides information about cyberbullying and photo sharing. Included in the guide is a sevenstep flowchart to “selfreflect before you selfreveal online,” as well as six ways to help stop cyberbullying. Scouffas said the guide was put together with help from middle school counselors in the district, and meant to reinforce the lessons of the play.

“Trying to make them think about what they’re posting, and what they choose not to post, and being responsible for that,” she said.

Three school-only performances will be held on Thursday and Friday for Lawrence students and teachers.

Parents can pick up free tickets to the Friday evening performance at their student’s school.

sales, that would result in nearly $1.3 million in additional sales tax revenue for the city and the county. I’ve covered City Hall long enough to know that the fact the city gets shut out of those tax revenues is irksome.

But even if the state doesn’t want to let cities and counties get in on the action, an increase in the liquor enforcement tax rate could produce significant revenue for state coffers.

According to a state report for fiscal year 2015, there were $823.3 million in liquor sales subject to the liquor enforcement tax. If the state decided that it wanted to return to the philosophy of old — where the liquor tax was significantly higher than the general sales tax — it could increase the liquor enforcement tax to 12 percent. That increase would produce about $33 million in new dollars for the state, assuming liquor sales held steady.

It also would net state legislators a lot of political pain. The liquor lobby almost certainly would fight such a change. They would argue that liquor is already taxed at many different levels, and is more heavily taxed than most products, when you consider all the taxes paid from the beginning of production to the end cycle. I’m not here to debate that, and again, I’m not here to say what the right course is.

But I do think it is worth noting that at one point Kansans would go to a liquor store and pay quite a bit higher tax rate for their six-pack of beer than they would for their loaf of bread. For many Kansans, that is no longer the case.

Kitchen

With the rebranding, we’re looking to reach larger users CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A who didn’t know they had this in their “I looked into renting restaurant kitchens, one backyard over at the in McLouth and the other fairgrounds.” in Oskaloosa, but they were only available on Sundays or late at night,” Kinder said. “The other option would be building my own commercial kitchen. That would be pretty costly.”

The solution, as it has been for other food entrepreneurs, was the commercial kitchen available for rent at the Douglas County Fairgrounds.

Known as the Incubator Kitchen since its opening in 2005, the facility just this month was rebranded as the Culinary Commons.

“The name really tells what it is,” said Susan Johnson, county family and consumer sciences agent with Douglas County’s K-State Research and Extension. “It is producing a culinary experience and is a common asset to the community.”

The rebranding effort includes a new logo and the culinarycommons. org website. The site includes the kitchen’s policies, rates, equipment and a list of other resources available to food entrepreneurs.

The rebranding was a joint effort of the Douglas County Food Policy Council and K-State Research and Extension, said Helen Schnoes, Douglas County food systems coordinator.

“With the rebranding, we’re looking to reach larger users who didn’t know they had this in their backyard over at the fairgrounds,” she said. lll

Culinary Commons is part of a larger effort to make more locally produced food available to county consumers both for health benefits and the profit of producers and processors, Schnoes said. Other elements include the Common Ground Community Garden program in Lawrence, the Market Match program that allows a dollar-for-dollar match of food stamps at farmers markets and the urban agriculture policy changes the Lawrence City Commission will soon consider, Schnoes said.

Although it is hoped the rebranding will increase awareness of the kitchen, much of its marketing will continue to be through word of mouth among those in the local network of food producers and talented cooks and chefs, Johnson said.

She was the chairwoman for a committee that looked into food preparation facilities at the fairgrounds following a fire that destroyed a 4-H food stand in the early 2000s, Johnson

— Helen Schnoes, Douglas County food systems coordinator said. The committee wanted a multipurpose facility and agreed the kitchen in Building 21 on the fairgrounds was large enough for a commercial kitchen that would accommodate multiple uses. The idea of a commercial kitchen at that site entered her mind before the fire, she said.

“In the past, I recognized from tours and walk-throughs that the kitchen would sit idle,” she said. “That’s why I wanted to do it. There was no reason not to put commercial equipment in there so it would be used.

It was a gold mine out there waiting to happen.

“There’s been a lot of use from the beginning, but the momentum is really picking up now with the demand for locally produced food. It’s been great to help with that.”

The Douglas County Fair Board and the County Commission embraced the concept and partnered in the creation of the commercial kitchen. The insurance payments from the fire were used to purchase the needed equipment, and the county paid for a new electrical system and other structural upgrades, Johnson said.

After a consultation with a Kansas Department of Agriculture representative, the kitchen was equipped with commercial standard ovens, a stove, dish washer, mixer, tilting kettle, five stainless steel work tables, two refrigerators and a freezer, Johnson said. lll

Johnson is the contact person for those wanting to rent the kitchen.

After Johnson gives them a tour, the next step for entrepreneurs is to meet with a state agricultural department representative about their plans.

“The kitchen isn’t licensed,” Johnson said.

“It’s the food entrepreneur and the food production process that

are licensed. They get a license to use the space.

“Food inspectors can walk in at any time, just like at a restaurant. It’s on the food inspectors’ schedule.”

Food safety is a big concern and an issue that the kitchen’s design and equipment help address, Johnson said.

“It is being able to have everything at your fingertips,” she said. “When you understand critical elements of food safety, this facility works very well. It allows you to produce the food in a very organized and safe manner.” lll

The incubator kitchen has hatched successful ventures that marketed products online, on store shelves or at farmers markets. Notable successes include the Comfrey & Clementines skin products Angela McGuire still makes at the fairgrounds and the Hippie Chow granola mix that Valerie Jennings traveled from Johnson County to produce before she sold the brand to a larger company, Johnson said.

“It really is an economic development asset because there is such an interest in locally produced food,” she said. “When we can help jump-start that, it is a win-win.”

The kitchen’s use is not limited to food entrepreneurs or caterers. Johnson said it was in demand during “food preservation season” for those who want to can produce from their gardens or orchards or make jams and jellies.

It’s also been rented for families preparing for large gatherings.

At $25 for eight hours and $50 for 17 hours, rental fees are reasonable enough for the different uses, Johnson said.

Johnson is also developing a wish list of items that could improve Culinary Commons.

“We really hope as this moves forward, we can purchase more smaller ware that might be needed,” she said. “There’s also a demand from entrepreneurs who would like the storage a lot of incubator kitchens have. We would like to have a cooler where products can be stored overnight or for a couple of days.”

Opinion

Lawrence Journal-World l LJWorld.com l Sunday, March 20, 2016

EDITORIALS

STAR changes State legislators are right to place new restrictions on the use of STAR bonds in Kansas.

T

he STAR bond program has been a boon for some economic development projects in Kansas, but it apparently was due for a little tune-up.

STAR (Sales Tax Revenue) bonds were first used in Kansas to finance the development of the enormously successful Village West retail and entertainment district in Wyandotte County. The financing tool allowed the development to use new sales taxes generated in the STAR district to pay off bonds that were used to finance roads, water and sewer lines and other infrastructure for the project. Those bonds now have been repaid and the sales tax that made that possible is scheduled to start flowing back into state coffers in January 2017.

At least that was the intention of state legislators. However, Gov. Sam Brownback is pursuing another plan for that money. Legislators learned earlier this year that Brownback’s administration wants to divert about $46 million a year in sales tax revenue from Village West stores to entirely new projects in Wyandotte County but outside the existing STAR bond district. His hope was to use that money in not-yet-approved districts to help lure the American Royal livestock show from Kansas City, Mo. Legislators were right to cry foul. Although Brownback’s plan may not have been illegal, it certainly isn’t the spirit of the law. The use of STAR bonds was approved for Village West, and the state shouldn’t be allowed to divert money raised in that district for another purpose without additional approval.

The governor and the Legislature are still sorting out this problem. A bill that would block Brownback’s plan was passed and vetoed. That veto was overridden by the Senate, which then passed another bill that makes changes in the STAR bond rules and would force the administration to start over on the American Royal plan. The House has not voted on overriding the governor’s veto, which may become moot if the House approves the new STAR bond bill.

The governor likely isn’t pleased by these developments, but allowing revenues in STAR districts to be diverted to new projects without additional approval provides too great an opportunity for abuse at a time when many taxpayers already are questioning the use of large tax rebates as an economic development tool.

STAR bond can be an effective tool to encourage diverse business development in the state. The American Royal project may be a worthy use of STAR bonds, but it should have to gain separate approval based on its own merits.

If the project doesn’t measure up, the state certainly can find another good use for that $46 million in tax revenue.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for March 20, 1916: “The high waters of spring time, always a problem to the farmers years of the bottoms, promise such ago interference with the building IN 1916 of the new Kansas River bridge that the work is being planned to meet the situation, according to the engineers in charge. An effort is being made to construct all the piers before the early rains cause the river to rise.”

Nomination stand hard to justify Washington — The Republican Party’s incoherent response to the Supreme Court vacancy is a partisan reflex in search of a justifying principle. The multiplicity of Republican rationalizations for their refusal to even consider Merrick Garland radiates insincerity.

Republicans instantly responded to Antonin Scalia’s death by proclaiming that no nominee, however admirable in temperament, intellect and experience, would be accorded a hearing. They say their obduracy is right because: Because they have a right to be obdurate, there being no explicit constitutional proscription against this.

Or because President Obama’s demonstrated con-

George Will

“

If Republicans really think that either their front-runner or the Democrats’ would nominate someone superior to Garland, it would be amusing to hear them try to explain why they do.” tempt for the Constitution’s explicit text and for implicit constitutional manners justifies Republicans reciprocating with contempt for his Supreme Court choice, regardless of its merits.

Or because, 24 years ago, then-Sen. Joe Biden — he is not often cited by Republicans seeking validation — suggested that a president’s right to nominate judges somehow expires, or becomes attenuated, in a “political season,” sometime after the midterm elections during a second presidential term.

Or because, if a Republican president tried to fill a court vacancy during his eighth year, Democrats would behave the way Republicans are behaving.

In their tossed salad of situational ethics, the Re-

publicans’ most contradictory and least conservative self-justification is: The court’s supposedly fragile legitimacy is endangered unless the electorate speaks before a vacancy is filled.

The preposterous premise is that the court will be “politicized” unless vacancies are left vacant until a political campaign registers public opinion about, say, “Chevron deference.”

This legal doctrine actually is germane to Garland.

He is the most important member (chief judge) of the nation’s second-most important court, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, the importance of which derives primarily from its caseload of regulatory challenges.

There Garland has practiced what too many conservatives have preached — “deference” in the name of “judicial restraint” toward Congress, and toward the executive branch and its appendages in administering congressional enactments. Named for a 1984 case, Chevron deference unleashes the regulatory state by saying that agencies charged with administering statutes are entitled to deference when they interpret supposedly ambiguous statutory language.

In his record of deference, Garland resembles two justices nominated by Presidents George W. Bush and Ronald Reagan, respec-

tively — Chief Justice John Roberts and, even more, Scalia, who seems to be more revered than read by many conservatives. Garland’s reluctance to restrict the administrative state’s discretion would represent continuity in the chair he would fill.

Furthermore, Garland’s deference is also expressed in respect for precedents, which include the 2008 Heller decision. In it, the court (with Scalia writing for the majority) affirmed that the Second Amendment protects an individual’s right to bear arms.

Of the last 25 justices confirmed, beginning with Dwight Eisenhower’s 1954 nomination of Earl Warren as chief justice, Garland, 63, is the second-oldest nominee. (Lewis Powell was 64 when Richard Nixon selected him in 1971.) The average age of the 25 was 53.

So, Obama’s reach into the future through Garland is apt to be more limited than it would be with a younger nominee Republicans who vow to deny Garland a hearing and who pledge to support Donald Trump if he is their party’s nominee are saying: Democracy somehow requires that this vacancy on a non-majoritarian institution must be filled only after voters have had their say through the election of the next president. And

constitutional values will be served if the vacancy is filled not by Garland but by someone chosen by President Trump, a stupendously uninformed dilettante who thinks judges “sign” what he refers to as “bills.” There is every reason to think that Trump understands none of the issues pertinent to the Supreme Court’s role in the American regime, and there is no reason to doubt that he would bring to the selection of justices what he brings to all matters — arrogance leavened by frivolousness.

Trump’s multiplying Republican apologists do not deny the self-evident — that he is as clueless regarding everything as he is about the nuclear triad. These invertebrate Republicans assume that as president he would surround himself with people unlike himself — wise and temperate advisers. So, we should wager everything on the hope that the man who says his “number one” foreign policy adviser is “myself” (because “I have a very good brain”) will succumb to humility and rely on people who actually know things. If Republicans really think that either their front-runner or the Democrats’ would nominate someone superior to Garland, it would be amusing to hear them try to explain why they do.

Debt is paid; punishment should end We will call her Jane Doe. We really have no choice, given that that’s the only identification found in the court document. Jane is 57, a Jamaica-born permanent U.S. resident living in New York City. She is a licensed nurse and a mother. She is also a convicted felon.

In 2000, Jane, trying to raise two young daughters on $15,000 a year and an $80 weekly child-support check, was recruited by her thenboyfriend for an insurance scam. They staged a car accident and tried to collect on a claim.

It didn’t work. Jane was convicted on fraud charges and sentenced to 15 months in prison. She was released in 2004.

That’s when her ordeal began.

Her debt to society paid, Jane set out looking for work.

She was rehired by a former employer and worked there two years. Then the state Office of Professional Discipline suspended her license for two years for professional misconduct — not because she had done anything wrong, but because of the old conviction.

In the years since, Jane has found barricades on every avenue of gainful employment. Job interviews and even job offers mys-

teriously evaporate when employers learn about her record. She tried to get a business license to start her own company, only to be rejected twice because of it.

Last year, Jane tried to have her record expunged.

Judge John Gleeson denied the request a few days ago, explaining that Jane doesn’t meet the legal standard. But Gleeson — the same judge who sent her to prison — then did something extraor-

dinary. He appended to his 32-page opinion a “federal certificate of rehabilitation.”

Understand: There is no such thing. The official-looking document carries no legal force. It’s just something Gleeson had made for Jane so she can show prospective employers that a federal judge considers her rehabilitated. He says a woman who was convicted once, a long time ago, of a nonviolent crime from which she saw no profit and for which she has served her time, ought not to be punished for it the rest of her life.

“I had no intention,” wrote Gleeson, “to sentence her to the unending hardship she has endured in the job market.”

If you consider this a heartwarming story, you miss the point.

Yes, Gleeson did a good and generous thing. One hopes it has the desired effect. But it is unconscionable that Jane Doe’s situation ever reached this extreme.

The shift of American penal philosophy from rehabilitation to punishment has had many disastrous effects: prison overcrowding, mass disenfranchisement, fatherless homes. But the most self-defeating effect is embodied in denying ex-felons employment once they’ve

served their time. If you deny them the ability to do lawful work, what obvious option is left?

Granted, there are sometimes good reasons to deny a given ex-felon a given job; no day care should hire a newly released child molester, for example. But what Jane Doe is facing is rooted less in common-sense caution than in a new American ethos where punishment never ends.

That should be anathema to a nation of second chances. Lawmakers must enact reforms that curb the power of employers to discriminate against former felons — or that incentivize their hiring. Questions about criminal records should not be allowed on job applications; a person should have the chance to make a good impression at the job interview without being automatically ruled out for doing some stupid thing a long time ago.

Jane Doe was lucky to have Gleeson on her side, but she shouldn’t have needed him. She did something stupid, yes, but she was duly punished for it.

Except that in America these days, you can never be punished enough.

ROMAIN BLANQUART, DETROIT FREE PRESS

Nicole Rich, 34, helps her children Jamison, 7, left, and Jersey, 9, do their homework in Ithaca, N.Y. The siblings attend a school where water samples tested high for lead levels.

TAINTED WATER

A Dubai airliner making a second attempt to land during strong wind and rain crashed in a fireball short of the Rostov-onDon airport in southern Russia on Saturday, killing all 62 people aboard.

Russia’s Emergencies Ministry said the Boeing 737-800 operated

by FlyDubai was carrying 55 passengers, most of them Russians, and seven crewmembers of various nationalities, including a captain from Cyprus.

Vasily Golubev, the governor of the Rostov region, told local journalists that the plane crashed about 800 feet short of the runway at the airport about 600 miles south of Moscow.

HUNDREDS OF SCHOOLS AND DAY CARE SITES ACROSS USA FAILED LEAD TESTS

Laura Ungar USA TODAY

Whenever Jamison Rich got thirsty after gym or recess, he took a drink from the nearest water fountain at his elementary school.

Only last month did his family learn that the water bubbling out of some fountains contained high levels of lead, a notorious toxin that can silently damage developing brains and slow growth in little bodies like his.

Recently, a blood test on the 7year-old found more than twice the average level of lead for young children, even though as far as anyone knows he’s never come in contact with lead paint or tainted soil.

Jamison’s school, Caroline Elementary in Ithaca, N.Y., is one of hundreds across the nation where children were exposed to water containing excessive amounts of an element doctors agree is unsafe at any level, a USA TODAY NETWORK investigation found. An analysis of U.S. Environmental Protection Agency data showed that about 350 schools and day care centers failed lead tests a total of about 470 times from 2012 through 2015.

That represents nearly 20% of the water systems nationally

Vasily Golubev, governor of the Rostov region, cited bad weather as the likely cause.

Although the precise reason was not immediately determined, “by all appearances, the cause of the air crash was the strongly gusting wind, approaching a hurricane level,” he said.

Both flight data recorders were recovered in good condition, according to the Russian Interfax news agency.

Ian Petchenik, a spokesman for the flight-tracking website Flightradar24, told the Associated Press the plane missed its approach, then entered a holding pattern. The plane circled for about two hours before making another attempt to land. It began climbing again after a go-around when it suddenly fell at up to 21,000 feet per minute.

“The aircraft completely fell apart at the start of the runway,” Igor Oder, chief of the Southern Regional Center of the Russian Emergencies Ministry, said during a video conference, Tass news agency reported. It was FlyDubai’s first crash since the budget carrier began operating in 2009.

Official: Suspect admits taking part in Paris attacks Says he reconsidered suicide at last minute Doug Stanglin USA TODAY

Salah Abdeslam, the top suspect in November’s deadly attacks in Paris, admitted he took part in the rampage, but said he abandoned the plan at the last minute and discarded his suicide vest after driving the other terrorists to their targets, a French official said Saturday.

Paris Prosecutor Francois Molins, speaking to reporters in the

French capital, said Abdeslam told Belgian authorities he was supposed to die in the shooting spree Nov. 13 that killed 130 people. Molins did not say if Abdeslam explained why he backed out of the operation.

Abdeslam, 26, and five other suspects were taken into custody Friday by heavily armed police who descended on the apartment where he was staying in the Brussels suburb of Moleenbeck, his hometown.

After his arrest, Abdeslam spent the night in the hospital recovering from a leg wound sustained in the raid, but was released Saturday and taken to a

judicial hearing, according to his attorney, Sven Mary.

Asked by reporters if his client, who has been transferred to a jail, confirmed he was in Paris on the day of the attacks, Mary said, “He was there,” Le Soir reported. The lawyer said Abdeslam was cooperating with authorities, but will fight immediate extradition to France.

Abdeslam and an accomplice identified as Monir Ahmed Alaaj, alias Amine Choukri, have been formally charged with “terrorist murder and participation in a terrorist group,” Reuters reported.

charged with being a member of a terrorist organization and aiding and abetting criminals. A female detainee, Djemila M., was charged with aiding and abetting and was released, Belgian prosecutors said in a statement. A second woman was released without charge.

Abdeslam is subject to a European arrest warrant issued by France, but Mary told journalists Saturday after a hearing before a Belgian investigating magistrate that “we will refuse the extradition.” Abdeslam faces a pretrial court, which will decide whether he stays in jail for up to another month.

“There’s a regulatory black hole when it comes to schools and day care centers. ... “It’s like Russian roulette.”

Yanna Lambrinidou, a Virginia Tech researcher

Lead risk lurks where our children learn v CONTINUED FROM 1B

That’s the cutoff where the EPA labels a substance “hazardous waste.”

“It’s a scary thing. Nobody expects to have this in their schools,” said Jamison’s mom, Nicole Rich. “Who knows how big the problem actually is?”

Researchers say it could be very, very big.

But at this point it’s impossible to know how big because the federal government requires only about 10% of the nation’s schools and a tiny fraction of day care centers — the 8,225 facilities that run their own water systems — to test for lead at all.

The EPA estimates that about 90,000 public schools and 500,000 child care facilities are not regulated under the Safe Drinking Water Act because they depend on water sources such as municipal utilities expected to test their own water. That means parents have no assurance lead isn’t seeping into children’s water from a school building’s pipes, solder or fixtures.

In fact, many schools that have tested for lead voluntarily have found it, hinting at the true scope of the problem.

“There’s a regulatory black hole when it comes to schools and day care centers,” said Yanna Lambrinidou, a Virginia Tech researcher who studies lead in water nationally. “In some ways, it’s an official endorsement of exposure to lead and large-scale health harms that go undetected.”

‘THIS IS POISON’

Babies and children are left vulnerable at schools and day care centers required to test for lead.

The USA TODAY NETWORK investigation found spotty enforcement from the EPA and some state governments, as well as school leaders’ failures to test as often as required, notify parents about problems in a timely way or fix problems immediately in many cases.

Doctors stress that lead is a cumulative poison that builds up in the body and comes from several sources.

A groundbreaking study from Bruce Lanphear, a professor at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia who studied lead exposure among children in Rochester, N.Y., found that about 20% was attributed to water, 10% to 15% to contaminated soil and 20% to 30% from other sources such as paint dust. He adds that not everything can be explained.

Compounding the problem: uLead-tainted water isn’t used just for drinking and washing. It’s often used for cooking school lunches — where it can wind up in foods like pasta — or making infant formula, posing a particular risk to babies because they consume so much water compared to their size. uLead concentrations can rise as water goes unused and stays in contact with plumbing because schools and day nurseries often are vacant for long stretches. Also, lead particles tend to release sporadically, so a child can go days drinking from a contaminated water fountain before ingesting the toxin.

“It’s like Russian roulette,” Lambrinidou said. uBlood testing for lead poisoning is typically done in babies, not school-aged children. Symptoms usually don’t show up until dangerous levels have accumulated and even then can be vague, so they often are missed until the damage — such as lowered IQ, behavior problems and developmental delays — has been done.

Given the dangers, the EPA recommends that schools and day care centers test for lead even if they’re not required to under the agency’s Lead and Copper Rule and work to reduce the toxin. In an email response to questions from USA TODAY NETWORK, the EPA says these facilities serve sensitive populations, so the agency and states prioritize assisting those that test above actionable levels by helping them collect samples and look into practices and equipment that could be causing high lead levels, such as old plumbing.

But a growing chorus of researchers, activists, parents and school officials say this isn’t enough and that all schools and day care centers should have to test for lead.

ROMAIN BLANQUART, DETROIT FREE PRESS

Melissa Hoffman sends daughters Sareanda, 6, right, and Asyra, 10, to an Ithaca, N.Y., school that has tested high for lead.

“EPA regulations have not moved forward with the science,” said President and CEO Ruth Ann Norton of Green and Healthy Homes Initiative, an anti-lead advocacy group. “These are our children. This is poison. … It’s a toxin being ingested, and that should never be OK under any circumstances.”

Among schools and day care centers required to test, the USA TODAY NETWORK analysis found problematic lead levels in 42 states. If more than 10% of samples are above 15 ppb, that triggers a water system to take action.

Marc Edwards, a Virginia Tech civil engineering professor who helped uncover the water crisis in Flint, Mich., said Maine has particularly corrosive water, which can dissolve lead from plumbing systems.

Regional School Unit 57, a rural district in southern Maine, has failed lead tests nine times among four schools in recent years with one sample registering 635 ppb in 2013 at Waterboro Elementary School, located a half-hour’s drive from Kennebunkport. The district took Waterboro off its well and hooked it to municipal water three years ago, put in a water-filtration system at another school and replaced problematic faucets at several schools, Superintendent John Davis said. The system tests for lead regularly and notifies parents quickly.

“Typically, schools are very responsive,” said Roger Crouse, Maine’s drinking water program director.

But responses to lead problems are not always so efficient.

In Arizona, the USA TODAY NETWORK found that water providers didn’t always conduct the required follow-up tests or notify customers when tests were flagged for high levels of lead.

A school district near Sedona didn’t notify parents until February that a water fountain and a faucet in a preschool room tested in 2013 for high levels of lead in the water. A faucet in a church at a boarding school near the Navajo Reservation triggered an exceedance in 2013, but again no additional testing was done until last year, and no one was notified until last month.

Ithaca City School District also failed to comply with EPA regulations — in this case parents weren’t told about problems quickly enough to protect their kids.

Level listed on EPA website from 2002 to 2004 as posing an “imminent and substantial endangerment to the health of children and pregnant women.”

In Flint, Mich., more than 10% of first-draw tap water samples tested by Virginia Tech scientists contained at least this much lead.

For infants fed formula reconstituted with tap water, this level was estimated in a study to result in 50% of exposed children having blood-lead levels above the current CDC level of concern.

water systems and are required to test for lead while the other 10 are not because they are connected to municipal water.

Four samples from Caroline and Enfield tested above the EPA action level in August and two in follow-up tests in January, according to fact sheets from the county health department.

Even though the first test results came back in September, parents didn’t learn of the problem until February despite requirements to notify the public within 30 days.

Superintendent Luvelle Brown blames “internal and external communication problems.”

Parents complained about the delay at community meetings, and the district tested the water again at sinks and water fountains throughout Caroline and Enfield, finding numerous levels greater than 100 ppb, according to results the school system released.

Officials turned off drinking water sources at the two schools, made bottled water available throughout the district and began looking into what went wrong with the notification process.

Brown shared plans to test all district buildings and vowed to fix any problems, “whatever it takes.”

Parents are incensed.

RIPPLE EFFECT OF RISKS

an

Parent Melissa Hoffman agrees.

She has three children in the district and said her daughter, Sareanda, used to drink every day from a water fountain in her kindergarten classroom that measured high for lead. Sareanda used to come home with a rash around her mouth and so tired she needed a long nap. Doctors say fatigue can be a sign of lead poisoning but a rash isn’t typical, although Flint residents also have reported them.

“No amount of lead is safe,” Hoffman said. “We just don’t know what has been done to our children.”

Observers say high lead levels among the mostly small schools and day care centers required to test are alarming enough. But voluntary testing at larger schools provides troubling evidence that the lead problem may be much bigger than what the EPA exceedance numbers suggest.

Long-standing lead issues have arisen in some of the nation’s biggest cities, including Washington and Baltimore.

Early this month, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection advised Newark Public Schools to use alternative drinking-water sources after voluntary tests found elevated levels of lead in 30 of 67 district schools. Measurements ranged from 16 to 558 ppb, according to 2015-16 results posted on the department’s website. The school

system temporarily shut off all drinking fountains in affected schools, posted warnings in bathrooms not to drink water from faucets, and brought in water coolers and bottled water.

Other schools not required to test have decided to do so in wake of the Flint crisis, uncovering problems of their own.

The Indiana School for the Deaf in Indianapolis sampled its water this year “out of an abundance of caution” and found two water fountains with high levels: one initially testing at 130 ppb and the other at 519 ppb. Both were taken out of service with plans to replace them.

EPA officials say they not only encourage voluntary testing but provide guidance to schools and day care centers that want to do it while also helping those required to test stay in compliance.

Plumbing materials that contain lead make the agency’s goal of zero lead unreachable, officials said. Regulations help water systems move in the right direction by requiring those with problems to control corrosion and reduce lead in tap water “to the extent feasible.”

In a way, “the violations are the good news. Those schools are testing” and correcting problems, Virginia Tech’s Edwards said. “The ones you should be worried about are … the vast majority of schools not required to test. There, you can have any level of lead.”

Lambrinidou agreed, adding that regulations are fine as far as they go, but there is “a nationwide lack of enforcement.” Many schools also don’t fully understand how lead gets into water or how to test correctly for it, she said.

Even the way action-level exceedances are calculated is problematic because up to 10% of samples can be above 15 ppb of lead, which “allows for 10% of (locations tested) to dispense any concentration of lead whatsoever,” Lambrinidou said.

Another obstacle to dealing with lead-in-water problems is that permanent solutions can be expensive. The tiny one-school Klondike Independent School District, which sits amid a cotton patch in Lamesa, Texas, plans to replace its entire water system at a cost of $600,000.

Edwards said he understands many facilities are strapped for cash, but “there’s a law, and we have to follow it.”

And while the dangers of lead are clear, some researchers say it’s not clear how big a part leadtainted water plays in overall lead exposure, especially given so many schools and day care centers don’t have to test for it.

“We don’t really know the collateral damage that’s being caused by lead in water,” Norton said. “We must address this as a society. We’re all better off with children who can read better because they haven’t been harmed by lead. We all benefit when children are healthy.”

In nearly 19 years on U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, Merrick Garland penned 16 dissents.

UNLIKE SCALIA, SUPREME COURT NOMINEE GARLAND RARELY DISSENTS

Judge has a knack for finding ‘common ground’ SAUL LOEB, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

Richard Wolf USA TODAY

Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was best known for his pugnacious style, most clearly on display in frequent, angry dissents that mocked his colleagues’ majority opinions. His would-be replacement is the polar opposite.

In nearly 19 years on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, Chief Judge Merrick Garland has penned just 16 dissents.

Far more often, he works to unite the three-judge panels that decide most cases, molding opinions so they emerge unanimous.

“From an early point in his tenure in the D.C. Circuit, Judge Garland has demonstrated an uncommon ability to identify common ground among his fellow judges,” says Justin Driver, a University of Chicago law professor who served as a law clerk for Garland. “That he manages to do so without in any way sacrificing his core judicial principles is truly remarkable.”

WASHINGTON

President Obama cited the 63year-old Garland’s penchant for consensus in nominating him for Scalia’s seat on Wednesday. “He’s shown a rare ability to bring together odd couples, assemble unlikely coalitions, persuade colleagues with wide-ranging judicial philosophies to sign on to his opinions,” Obama said. On NPR Friday, the president added that Garland “believes, rightly, that we’re at a time where the more consensus we can forge, the better off we’re going to be.”

When Garland does disagree, it is almost always to take a more progressive view — in favor of civil rights, workers’ rights, environmental protection or freedom of the press. He defers to federal agencies when others seek to overrule them. Only in criminal cases does he rely on his instincts as a former prosecutor, almost invariably siding with law enforcement.

Dissents often are the best representation of a judge’s most strongly held beliefs. “Dissents are where you can really say what you believe, and say it with the

Trump held sway over whether Fox would hold debate.

GOP DEBATE SCRATCHED Remember when the Republican presidential field was so large that two debates had to be held to accommodate all the candidates? Those days are gone.

With Marco Rubio’s exit from the field following his loss in Tuesday’s Florida primary, three candidates remain in the GOP race: Donald Trump, Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who won his home state that day, and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. On Wednesday, Trump said on Fox News, which was set to host a March 21 debate in Salt Lake City, that he thought “we’ve had enough debates” and wouldn’t participate.

Kasich then indicated he wasn’t interested in taking part if Trump, the front-runner, wasn’t.

Realizing a debate with just Cruz would cease to be a debate, Fox News Channel’s Michael Clemente canceled the event, saying in a statement: “Ted Cruz has expressed a willingness to debate Trump or Kasich — or both.

March 15 was long seen as a defining moment in the 2016 presidential race, and for one candidate, it proved a devastating blow. Top news from the world of politics:

force you think it deserves,” Scalia said.

In barely four years in the 1980s on the same appellate court with jurisdiction over federal agencies, Scalia wrote 24 dissents, an average of six per year.

Most of Garland’s current colleagues write an average of two to four dissents annually. He writes fewer than one.

From 2009 to 2013— a period when the appeals court tilted right, with a majority of judges named by Republican presidents — Garland wrote none.

His methodology is simple. He sticks by precedent.

“The obligation of the judge in the circuit is to follow the previous decisions in the circuit, unless those decisions are overruled by an en bloc panel of the court,” he said during his 1995 Senate confirmation hearings. (En bloc panels mean the entire court, rather than a three-judge panel.)

Trump said “the next president should make the pick,” saying he favored a conservative in the mold of Scalia. Kasich, likewise, said the president shouldn’t have made the nomination in an election year. Cruz hit Trump, saying “a so-called ‘moderate’ Democrat nominee is precisely the kind of deal that Donald Trump has told us he would make.”

Democrats praised Garland and urged Senate Republicans to act. Hillary Clinton said the confirmation process “should not be an exercise in political brinkmanship and partisan posturing.” Bernie Sanders argued that not holding hearings “would be unprecedented.”

A Marine was killed and several other Marines were wounded Saturday at a northern Iraqi base after it came under rocket attack from Islamic State militants, Pentagon officials said.

“A U.S. Marine providing force protection fire support at a recently established coalition fire base near Makhmur in northern Iraq was killed after coming under ISIL rocket fire,” said Pentagon press secretary Peter Cook, using an acronym for the Islamic State. “Several other Marines were wounded and they are being treated for their varying injuries.”

Cook said the names of the dead and wounded Marines were being withheld pending notification of their relatives.

No American servicemember had been killed in combat in Iraq since Master Sgt. Joshua Wheeler, 39, in October.

Wheeler, a Special Forces soldier from Roland, Okla., was killed in a raid that freed 70 Islamic State hostages from a makeshift prison in northern Iraq. He was the first soldier to die in combat in Iraq since 2011, when U.S. forces withdrew after more than eight years of combat.

EASTER AROUND THE WORLD

Significance of Ireland’s Easter Rising fades

British-Irish tension has faded for most in modern nation Kim Hjelmgaard USA TODAY

LONDON — One hundred years ago, a ragtag band of Irish nationalists battled the British army in central Dublin for six days in a failed attempt to win independence from the United Kingdom.

The centennial of that “Easter Rising” revolt will be marked in the Irish capital on Easter Sunday with a parade and a reading of the rebels’ mutinous proclamation, which beckons Ireland’s people to fight “for her freedom.”

Memories of the 1916 Easter Rising endure a century later. Yet unlike the Fourth of July, which all Americans recognize as the birth of their nation, the historical significance of Easter Rising is fading among the Irish.

“Over the last century, (the differences between Britain and Ireland) have, beyond doubt, significantly declined,” said Charles Townshend, author of Easter 1916: The Irish Rebellion.

“Globalization and the de-intensification of nationalism have modified the sense of difference that powered the separatist cause.

“It may be harder than ever

“It’s not some kind of ‘us against them,’ anti-British event.”

Gail McElroy, political scientist at Trinity College Dublin.

now to fully grasp the depth and intensity of nationalist hostility to England and Anglicization” at that time, Townshend said.

The week of insurrection that started on Easter Sunday, April 24, 1916, ended with the rebels’ surrender and the deaths of more than 400 people — half of them civilians. All but one of the revolt’s 16 leaders were executed by firing squad, an act that quickly

turned Irish opinion against the longtime British governors.

The fighting destroyed 32 buildings and dozens of businesses in Dublin. Bullet holes still pockmark the columns of the General Post Office, which had served as the rebel headquarters.

Ireland, which gained independence from Britain six years later, has not forgotten the heroic actions of the few thousand men

and women who took part in a rebellion that Irish historian Tim Pat Coogan said “holds all the sacrificial significance of High Mass for Irish Republicans (nationalists).”

Today, the historical relevance may be lost. “There are obviously some elements of society who see this as an important event, but not for the average Irish person,” said Gail McElroy, a political scientist at Trinity College Dublin.

“It’s not some kind of ‘us against them,’ anti-British event. It’s seen as a reflection of modern Ireland, not the Ireland of 1916. To be Irish now is to be very cosmopolitan and inclusive.”

One reason for the lack of interest is that the Easter Rising centennial is one of many events that occurred from 1912 through actual independence in 1922 that Ireland is commemorating as it marks its 100th anniversary.

These include successive campaigns for limited self-governance, the loss of thousands of soldiers in World War I, the emergence of a guerrilla campaign against British rule by the Irish Republican Army, civil war and a partition that would see six northern counties remain in the United Kingdom as part of Northern Ireland.

David Farrell, a politics professor at University College Dublin, said the Irish government has attempted to make the Easter Rising commemoration strike a

chord by distributing to schools copies of the proclamation along with Irish flags. The government has been careful to make it an occasion for all of Ireland, not a specific political party.

“We are going through quite a bit of political instability in light of the election,” Farrell said about an inconclusive vote Feb. 26 in which no party won a majority in parliament. “So one or the other of the parties here might see an opening and try to portray themselves as the true successor to the Easter Rising’s generation of revolutionaries. The party that is most likely to try that is (the ultra-nationalist) Sinn Fein.”

There’s good reason the Easter Rising doesn’t resonate today, said Cathal Brugha, 67, the grandson of an Easter Rising fighter with the same name who was shot 25 times by British soldiers, survived and later became an assassin for the IRA. “There was a lot of hurt after 1916,” Brugha said. “People decided they didn’t want to talk about it.”

Brugha said the last time the Easter Rising evoked such strong feelings was during its 50th anniversary, just before the start of the “Troubles” — the term for the conflict between pro-British Protestants and pro-Irish Catholics in Northern Ireland that ostensibly ended in 1998. Sporadic sectarian violence continues.

“On the whole, we don’t have that tension now,” Brugha said.

Attacks in Israel discourage tourists Numbers fall slightly from already low levels in vital part of economy Michele Chabin

Special for USA TODAY

JERUSALEM — Nearly six months of non-stop Palestinian attacks are dampening prospects for an Easter tourism season that normally provides this historic region a big economic boost.

Israel’s $10-billion-a-year tourism industry never fully recovered from the war with Hamas in the summer of 2014. Now the latest round of assaults is scaring away additional visitors.

Easter, which is traditionally high season, “isn’t looking great,” said Israel Hotel Association spokesperson Pnina Shalev. “We won’t know the numbers until after the holiday (March 27), but we are concerned.”

Since the Palestinian attacks began in late September, tourism has fallen only slightly — but from already weak numbers. Foreign visits are down 14% from record highs of 2013, according to the Ministry of Tourism.

Since Sept. 22, Palestinian attacks have killed 28 Israelis and two American tourists, while 182 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire, including 135 who Is-

rael alleged were attackers, according to the Associated Press.

“Tourism is an important part of the Israeli economy,” said Yaron Ergas, director of research at the Ministry of Tourism. He estimated that the tourism sector has lost $1.5 billion since the war with Hamas, the militant group that governs the Gaza strip on Israel’s southwestern border. A barrage of rocket attacks by Hamas prompted Israel to launch a ground invasion of the Palestinian territory.

Administrators of Israel-based educational and volunteer programs say none of their enrollees has left over security fears.

Avi Mayer, spokesman for the Jewish Agency for Israel, which runs long-term programs for thousands of foreign students, said his agency “has not seen any impact” on participation or registration rates. Jewish Agency programs abide by “very strict” security constraints and “take care not to enter sensitive areas” during field trips, Mayer said.

Jaso, who was detained with hundreds of other tourists when police cordoned off the exit, appeared unperturbed.

“I’m used to this, but every time an attack is in the news my brother [in the U.S.] calls me, worried,” she said. Even with this wave of violence, Israel is statistically much safer than many U.S. cities, Jaso said.

MARIJUANA USE CONTINUES TO GROW National legal sales of cannabis hit a record level of $5.7 billion in 2015 and are expected to rise, according to the newly released 4th Edition State of Legal Marijuana Markets Report. Much of the increase is attributed to adult use market sales, which hit $1.3 billion last year. Marijuana remains illegal at the federal level, classified as a Schedule 1 drug. While some states are enjoying increased tax revenue from marijuana sales, the legality of marijuana remains mixed across the U.S.

Global markets have finally stabilized after a rough start to the year as recession fears have faded. So how strong is the economy, and was the early-2016 panic justified? I turned to the CEO of 3M, a global diversified company, to get a handle on the consumer. 3M CEO Inge Thulin says China has issues, but there are bright spots in the U.S. in consumer and health care businesses. (Our interview is edited for clarity and space.)

Q

What are you seeing in terms of consumer spending and sentiment?

A: Despite a slowdown in growth in the world, one thing that is not slowing is what I would call domestic businesses: the consumer area and health care area, where we are strongest, with well-known brands like Post-It, Scotch Tape and Scotch Guard. It’s still soft. But I don’t see a recession where I’m sitting.

China has slowed down, but it’s still the second-biggest economy in the world. And there are good growth opportunities in China. I am positive on Western Europe, where we see slight growth. West Europe is well-educated, technology-driven, and many big, global companies have their headquarters there. It has gone through a tougher period.

On the consumer side, there is a lot of activity in home improvements, where we have a big business in terms of what we call ‘do it yourself.’ Also home care products, such as sponges and so forth, are continuing to grow very steadily by 3% to 5%.

Q

Can you discuss where the innovation is in health care and what products people will want tomorrow?

A: We spend almost 6% of our revenue on research and development year after year. That’s $1.8 billion to $2 billion per year. Research and development is the heartbeat of 3M. It’s what empowers margins and enables us to pay a dividend for 99 years in a

We have a huge upside there.

Will future growth for 3M be organic or come from acquisitions?

A: We have, for the next year, an outline growth based on 1% to 3% organic growth. It will probably come in the middle of that, 2% to 3%. On acquisitions, we have committed to spend $5 billion to $10 billion on our five-year plan. Last year we did three big acquisitions. Now, organic local currency growth is our primary strategy.

What kind of an impact do you expect from the election in the U.S.?

A: To make it easier to create opportunities for people to work and, by that, helping the overall economy. You always should try to drive for a policy that has low corporate tax so you can reinvest in your own business.

With fancy iPhones, size matters New 4-inch phone could help fill niche, reverse giant trend Jefferson Graham @jeffersongraham USA TODAY

VENICE BEACH Have smartphones gotten too big?

At a press event Monday, Apple is expected to introduce the SE iPhone, which will have most of the features of the newer 4.7-inch iPhone 6S and even bigger 5.5inch iPhone 6S Plus, such as an enhanced camera, faster processor and Apple Pay feature.

But it will sport the smaller body of earlier phones such as the 5S or 5C, according to analysts including Piper Jaffray’s Gene Munster. He sees the new SE appealing to about 20% of Apple’s customer base: the folks who never bothered to upgrade to the bigger phones.

Apple declined to comment. Its invitation for the event promises attendees only to “loop you in.”

It’s also expected to unveil new Apple Watch bands and a smaller iPad Pro. The 4-inch SE would be virtu-

ally alone among popular rival smartphones, which all have screens 5 inches or bigger.

Smaller phones in general are now scarce. In fact, the websites

of the wireless carriers carry few in the 4-inch range: the older Samsung Galaxy J1 and Coolpad Rogue.

The SE is expected to replace

the iPhone 5S, first introduced in 2013.

Apple joined the big-screen movement pioneered by Samsung the next year, with the iPhone 6 and bigger 6 Plus, followed in 2015 with the 6S and 6S Plus.

Many consumers demanded bigger screens, and the move paid off for Apple. The larger iPhone was Apple’s best seller ever. But not all Apple consumers made the switch.

According to research firm Parks Associates, one-third of Apple iPhone owners still have a model that is more than two years old, compared with 30% of Samsung phone owners.

And several consumers interviewed by USA TODAY said they were more than happy with a smaller phone.

“They’re like a flat-screen TV in your pocket,” says Chuck Asa, a tourist visiting from Hawaii. “Bigger phones are easier to break.”

But Priscilla Peterson, also of Hawaii, says, “I like big phones — I hope they get bigger too.”

“If Apple is successful (with the smaller screen), you can bet Samsung will be back,” says Tim Bajarin, an analyst with market research firm Creative Strategies.

PERSONAL FINANCE

Owning a home can be a tidy tax break

T

Jeff Reeves l Special for USA TODAY

he U.S. tax code can be intimidating, and many Americans have little desire to dig through receipts and IRS forms each spring.

However, if you own a home, you may have access to a host of deductions that collectively can save you thousands in taxes this year. So don’t let your fear of paperwork get the better of you. When it comes to finding the most valuable tax breaks for Americans, “deductions related to your home will give you the biggest bang for your buck,” says Craig Richards, managing director and director of tax services at Fiduciary Trust Company International. Overlooking these breaks, he said, can cost you dearly. Take the most common — a deduction for interest paid on your home mortgage. U.S. taxpayers collectively get a break to the tune of about $100 billion each year from this single item alone!

“A lot of people retire on the value of their home ... (but) most people never keep a tax basis file on their home.”

DON’T OVERLOOK THESE DEDUCTIONS If you’re a homeowner, you have access to breaks like this and more, which can add up to significant savings off your annual tax bill. Here are a few of the biggest ones: MORTGAGE INTEREST

As mentioned, this is one of the most common breaks for taxpayers, and with good reason. Consider that a 30-year mortgage of $250,000 will result in almost $10,000 in interest payments over the first year at current market rates. And don’t forget your vacation home or the condo you bought for your aging parents, because you’re also allowed to use interest paid on your primary residence as well as one other home.

REAL ESTATE TAXES

Another important tax break for homeowners is a deduction for local property taxes, which can be substantial depending on where you live. In many ways, Richards says, this is a more common tax break than even the hefty mortgage interest deduction. “There are lots of folks who own a home and don’t have a mortgage, but everyone’s paying real estate tax,” Richards says.

MORTGAGE INSURANCE

Borrowers who do not have 20% equity in their homes are required to carry private mortgage insurance, or PMI, to protect the lender if the loan defaults. PMI typically costs 0.5% to 1% of the entire loan amount each year, so deducting those payments can add up fast if you have a large loan balance.

MORTGAGE POINTS

A “point” on a home mortgage is a payment that equals 1% of your total loan amount and is paid upfront to a lender to reduce your total interest rate. Some borrowers choose to pay points to get a more favorable lending rate, and an added bonus is that they get a tax break. Unfortunately, you can deduct only the amount of any points paid in the year that you paid them — so don’t miss this break if you’ve taken out a new home loan in the past year and paid points.

CASUALTY LOSSES

If you’re unfortunate enough to suffer storm damage or a fire in your home, the IRS provides a tax break to offset some of those losses.

You can’t double-dip, of course, and get a break for losses your insurance company has already compensated you for, but even folks with a decent homeowners insurance policy may still get some tax benefit. “If you get an insurance reimbursement, it doesn’t necessar-

Pete Lang, investment adviser at Lang Capital Reeves is executive editor of InvestorPlace.com.

ily mean you’re not going to get anything,” Richards says. “It’s just going to reduce the total loss that you can recognize.” Doing some simple math on Form 4684 will let you know how much, if any, of your losses are tax-deductible.

HOME OFFICE

If you are self-employed and have a home office that meets IRS standards, there may be significant tax benefits for you. For instance, if your home office represents 5% of your home’s total square footage, you may be eligible to deduct 5% off that property’s utilities, insurance and property taxes and general repairs, among other things. Just remember there are strict rules around what constitutes a home office that sees “regular and exclusive use” — so consult Publication 587 or your tax professional to be sure you qualify for this deduction.

COST BASIS

Single taxpayers can sell their primary residence for a $250,000 tax-free gain, and married couples can do so for a $500,000 gain. But if you’ve kept accurate records of capital expenses on your home, like putting on an addition or a new roof, you can increase the amount of tax-free gains above those limits based on what you’ve put into the property.

A half-million dollars sounds like a lot, but over a 30-year mortgage, there may be significant appreciation in your real estate market, says Pete Lang, investment adviser at Lang Capital outside Charlotte. “A lot of people retire on the value of their home,” Lang says. However, “most people never keep a tax basis file on their home,” he adds.

So even if you’re not using the documents from your capital improvements this year, you should hang on to them until you do sell the house.

ENERGY CREDIT

The Residential Energy Efficient Property Credit gets you a 30% tax break on big-ticket systems such as solar panels or a geothermal heating unit, as well as smaller amounts on items such as water heaters.

While these breaks are not as big as others, the fact that they are a credit instead of a reduction is a big bonus. “Credits are dollar-for-dollar reductions in the taxes you owe,” Lang says. “A tax deduction is simply reducing your income, which is then applied to a tax rate, which is much less valuable.”

DO THE MATH

YOU COULD BE CLOSER TO RETIRING THAN YOU THINK Thanks to the magic of compound interest, you really need to save only about half of the total you require 10 years before retiring.

Peter Dunn

Special for USA TODAY

I

f you have only 10 years left before you retire and you have only half of what you need, don’t worry, you might still be OK. I met a 55-year-old couple who wanted to retire at age 65.

Let’s call them Stan and Tasha. In order to generate the income they desired at retirement, they’d need to have $1.2 million of incomegenerating retirement assets by then.

Stan was freaking out.

“It took us 30 years to put away $600,000. How in the (colorful word) are we going to get another $600,000 in just 10 years?” Tasha looked on with true concern splashed over her face. “I can put $20,000 per year away at the most, and that will only equal another $200,000 come retirement.

Will I have to invest very aggres-

sively now? Where’s the $400,000 coming from?”

Math, my man. Math!

I sure hope my middle-school math teacher reads my column. I must have wondered “when are we ever going to use this?” a couple dozen times in seventh grade alone. Alas, math matters.

Stan and Tasha hadn’t put away $600,000 — they put away much, much less. By my estimation, Stan and Tasha have set aside only about $144,000 over the course of 30 years. Over the past 30 years, the Standard & Poor’s 500 index has averaged returns of just over 11% per year. I highly doubt Stan and Tasha got 11%. My guess (and yes, it’s just a guess) is that they averaged about 8% annually.

Which means roughly $456,000 of their $600,000 came from growth.

MONEY KEEPS WORKING

Stan and Tasha have committed to invest $20,000 per year for the next 10 years. That’s great. But the $600,000 they’ve already accumulated is still going to work hard for them over the next years, too.

In fact, Stan and Tasha will need

to achieve only a 4.6% average return to accomplish their $1.2 million retirement goal.

Welcome to the glory of compounding interest.

When your money grows, the growth joins the original deposit, and then both the growth and the original deposit grow. The longer your money has to grow, the more it can compound. Stan and Tasha are going to be able to retire because they started investing when they were 25 years old. Their earliest deposit will have been compounding for 40 years by the time they retire. Which means the first $100 they invested every year will be worth $29,091.73 alone (averaging 8%), while the last $29,091.73 they deposit will grow only to about $32,000 by the time they retire.

There’s another fun math lesson that can help pre-retirees project their retirement next egg. Ten years out from retirement, you will need to achieve only a 6.96% average annual return to double your money without any additional deposits. In other words, you need only half of your retirement nest egg 10 years out from retire-

ment. And as long as you’re making relatively hardy contributions to your account for those 10 years, you won’t even need to average 6.96% to double your money.

I know what you’re thinking: Couldn’t a stock market crash ruin everything? Yes and no. Yes, if you have an unbalanced portfolio filled with just stocks. No, if you are properly diversified across different asset classes, including stocks and bonds. People are surprised to learn that a 60% stock (S&P 500 index) and 40% bond (Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond index) portfolio has outperformed a 100% stock portfolio based on 15year average returns (period ending Dec. 31, 2015).

Having a balanced portfolio heading into retirement certainly doesn’t guarantee against loss, but a balanced portfolio has historically softened the blow of a tough market.

RATCHET BACK RISK

My strategy for selecting risk-appropriate investments involves taking the least amount of risk necessary to accomplish the goal at hand. Stan and Tasha need to average only 4.6% per year.

Therefore, Stan doesn’t need to invest more aggressively, as he initially worried.

Instead, he needs to invest less aggressively.

Yes, I’m oversimplifying the investment-selection process. I strongly urge you to talk to an investment professional during the last 10 years of your career to ensure your portfolio isn’t subject to unnecessary risks. Between your current balance and your future deposits, they will be able to tell you exactly what rate of return you need to accomplish your retirement goal.

There are two major takeaways from the story of Stan and Tasha.

First, the next time you see someone in their 20s, scream at them until they agree to start investing regularly (or suggest it nicely).

And second, don’t panic when you’re 10 years out from retirement. Stan’s gut told him to get more aggressive, when in reality, being less aggressive was the solution.

“With point guards like that, it’s easy. All I have to do is run,” added Selden, who along with Perry Ellis (21 points) and Graham (13) provided most of the offensive punch in a game that propelled the top-seeded Jayhawks (32-4) into Thursday’s Sweet 16 battle against either Maryland or Hawaii.

Selden, all KU fans are aware, isn’t lacking in the “swag” department himself.

The 6-foot-5 junior also dunked off a feed from Landen Lucas on a day Selden hit eight of 15 shots, including two threes in five tries.

However, his dunk, off the Graham lob, is the one that thrilled a crowd of 16,824 that included Selden’s uncle, Anthony Pitts, who presumably was as excited on this dunk as the one against Baylor in the Big 12 tournament.

Lucas, KU bigs making life difficult in paint Des Moines, Iowa — Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self’s search for quality post play alongside Perry Ellis kept coming up empty early in the season.

It ended long ago and was stuffed deeper into the past Saturday night at a block party at the expense of Connecticut.

Reserve Jamari Traylor had the loudest block when he sent one whistling off his hand with the velocity of an Eric Hosmer line drive and into the stands. Traylor did what he usually does when he makes a highlight.

He looked to the bench because he enjoys watching his teammates celebrate his feats almost as much as enjoys giving them something to celebrate.

What Traylor saw was a pair of freshman teammates

with huge grins. Cheick Diallo was wagging his index finger. Carlton Bragg Jr. was jumping over and over with balled fists.

It was an amazing play made possible by Traylor building up a head of steam in defensive transition and leaping so explosively.

“It pumps energy into the room, gets us more in tune defensively, and when we’re energetic on defense, we can pretty much play with anybody and lock guys up,” Traylor said.

It was one of three blocks for Traylor, who knows his

role and has been playing it well lately. It was the most exciting of KU’s seven blocked shots during Saturday night’s 73-61 victory that sent the Jayhawks to their first Sweet 16 since 2103, but none was bigger than Landen Lucas’ first of three. It came on UConn’s first shot on an aggressive drive to the hoop by Sterling Gibbs.

It served as an early statement that the lane is closed for Kansas foes.

“If we want to win,

NBA roundup The Associated Press

Spurs 87, Warriors 79 San Antonio — LaMarcus Aldridge had 26 points and 13 rebounds, and San Antonio beat Golden State on Saturday night to remain perfect at the AT&T Center this season and extend their home dominance over the defending champions to 33 straight regular-season games.

Kawhi Leonard added 18 points and 14 rebounds for San Antonio, which has won 44 straight at home in the regular season, tied for the second-longest streak in NBA history.

The Spurs held Warriors star Stephen Curry to 14 points while limiting him to 1-for-12 shooting on three-pointers.

San Antonio (59-10) moved within three games of Golden State (62-7) for the league’s top seed with two games remaining between the two teams.

San Antonio was able to win a showdown between the league’s top two teams with Tim Duncan coming off the bench for only the third time in his career.

The Spurs slowed the speedy Warriors to a more manageable pace in avenging a 120-90 loss in Golden State on Jan. 25 in the teams’ only previous meeting this season.

BASEBALL

Union monitoring LaRoche situation Peoria, Ariz. — The head of the Major League Baseball players’ union said Saturday there’s no decision yet on whether to file a grievance on behalf of Chicago White Sox first baseman Adam LaRoche.

The 36-year-old LaRoche retired Tuesday after he said he was told by the team president to cut down on clubhouse access for his 14-year-old son.

“I think what you’ve seen is everyone trying to get a feel for what happened here and what tomorrow may look like,” union chief Tony Clark said after a meeting with San Diego Padres players at spring training. “All I can tell you is we’re monitoring what’s going on.”

Clark said he’s been in contact with LaRoche, but he deflected a question of whether the union knows if LaRoche had a verbal agreement with the White Sox to allow his son, Drake, to be around the team.

Clark did say the union is interested in separate rules and policies set by clubs, especially if they violate baseball’s labor contract.

Barnes suspended after confrontation New York — Memphis Grizzlies forward Matt Barnes has been suspended one game without pay after the NBA says he tried to enter Milwaukee’s locker room and verbally challenge Bucks forward John Henson after both players were ejected.

On Thursday, Henson blocked Barnes’ shot with 5.5 seconds left in the Bucks’ 96-86 win over the Grizzlies in Milwaukee. After the play, Henson taunted Barnes and was given two technical fouls and ejected. Barnes was charged with a technical foul and ejected for continuing to use obscenities.

Barnes told the Los Angeles Times that he was led astray by an arena worker.

Free State sweeps opening twinbill

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Free State High’s baseball players, playing in their first game since winning a Class 6A state title, picked up where they left off in their season opener on Saturday.

The Firebirds were dominant on the mound and found ways to plate a few runs, sweeping a doubleheader against Warrensburg (Mo.) with a 4-2 win in the first game and a 6-3 victory in Game Two at FSHS. Free State junior righthander Aaron Funk set the tone for the pitching staff, opening the first game with eight strikeouts in four innings, giving up just one run and four hits.

Funk, a 6-foot-5, 200-pounder, is one of several new faces in Free State’s lineup and rotation.

But even with new players in new roles, the Firebirds looked more than ready to start their new season.

“I think the recipe is similar for us,” Free State coach Mike Hill said.

“We’re going to have to pitch and play defense.

I thought we did some good things offensively today. That’s going to be the recipe for us to be competitive again.”

After Funk’s strong start on the mound, Free State senior pitchers Trevor Munsch, Parker Tietjen and Hunter

FREE STATE’S PARKER TIETJEN, LEFT, CONGRATULATES TEAMMATE ZION BOWLIN after Bowlin scored against Warrensburg (Mo.) during the first game of a doubleheader Saturday at FSHS. The Firebirds swept the twinbill, 4-2 and 6-3.

Gudde didn’t allow an earned run over the next 10 innings.

Munsch and Gudde, who both threw complete games in last year’s state tournament, allowed one hit each across three innings. Tietjen struck out four in four innings, allowing three unearned runs from a bases-loaded, no-out jam.

“Aaron is going to step up this year,” Munsch said. “He’s going to do really well for us.”

Hill noted at this stage

of the season pitchers are usually ahead of hitters.

That made Free State’s offense more impressive.

The Firebirds (2-0) led after each inning throughout the doubleheader. In the first game, the Firebirds took a tworun lead when junior Dale Miller hit an RBI single, scoring senior Mikey Corbett, and senior Zion Bowlin scored on a ground out.

Munsch, who went 2-for-2 at the plate with a walk, added a run-scor-

ing triple in the fifth inning, driving a ball (with the wind) over the head of Warrensburg’s right fielder.

It was a different look for Munsch, a University of Oklahoma signee, who didn’t have any plate appearances last season. He asked the coaches in the preseason, after spending the past few years focusing on his pitching, if he could start swinging again.

“I don’t want him to get carried away,” Hill

Royals divide pair of games

BRIEFLY Chaley Brickey went 3-for-3, and Monique Wesley pitched five scoreless innings in relief, but Kansas University’s softball team dropped a 4-2 decision to Minnesota in the Rock Chalk Challenge on Saturday at Arrocha Ballpark.

After Minnesota took a 4-0 lead with three runs in the third inning, KU scored twice in the bottom of the third when Brickey doubled home a run and Lily Behrmann walked with the bases loaded.

Andie Formby (8-2) pitched the first two innings and took the loss.

Wesley allowed just two hits over the final five innings.

“Andie, obviously, didn’t have the start that any of us wanted, but it’s great when you can go to the bullpen and they do their job,” KU coach Megan Smith said. “Monique came in and went right at them. I felt like for her to be able to go in and throw quality pitches gave us a chance to win the game.

Lots of credit to Monique today. She threw well.

Offensively, we had some good at-bats, and the top of our order came through.

We had some clutch situations and just didn’t get it done.”

The No. 22-ranked Gophers improved to 18-9.

The Jayhawks (16-10) will host Saint Louis at 3 p.m. today.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY CENTER FIELDER Briana Evans climbs the wall but can only watch as a ball sails out for a home run Saturday at Arrocha Ballpark at Rock Chalk Park. KU lost to Minnesota, 4-2.

She placed 42nd in the 200 individual medley on Thursday and earned firstteam All-America honors by taking eighth place in the 400 IM on Friday.

Stanford stops Kansas baseball Palo Alto, Calif. — Stanford broke open a close game with a sevenrun fifth inning and defeated Kansas University, 10-4, in college baseball Saturday.

Colby Wright went 3-for-4 and drove in two runs for KU, and Rudy Karre and Joven Afenir had doubles.

Stanford led 3-2 entering the fifth before pulling away with its big inning.

“I think you’re in trouble anytime you have to make three pitching changes in an inning,” KU coach Ritch Price said. “The game got away from us as we went from one guy to the next.

The next thing you know is they have seven runs on seven hits. If you pitch poorly in an inning, it escalates into worse things that happen in a game.”

Kansas (7-10) and Stanford (9-5) will meet in the series finale at 2 p.m. today.

LHS baseball falls in opener Springdale, Ark. — Brad Kincaid hit a threerun home run, and Devin Lauts had a pair of doubles, but Lawrence High’s baseball team fell to Shiloh Christian, 7-6, on Saturday in its season opener.

Kincaid’s shot cut the Lions’ four-run deficit to one run in the fifth inning.

“Kincaid absolutely crushed a three-run bomb,” LHS coach Brad Stoll said.

“We had a lot of quality at-bats throughout the day.

Baker women advance in NAIA Independence, Mo. — Baker University advanced to the NAIA women’s basketball tournament semifinals with a 71-52 victory over Lewis-Clark State College on Saturday.

The sixth-seeded Wildcats (27-8) were led

Baker went 9-of-19 from

“I was just trying to keep it simple with my swing and everything,” said Bryant, who went 4-for-6 in the two games.

“It was just easy to come out here and have fun.”

Gudde added a triple in the right-center gap in the second game, junior shortstop Matt Hill hit a single and scored a run, and senior Bradley Collicott scored two runs and drove in a run with a sacrifice fly.

There were still some of the typical mistakes that are expected from the beginning of the season, but the Firebirds were happy to start playing games after three weeks of practice.

“It’s pretty neat,” Munsch said. “I’m a senior and it came quicker than I thought it would.

Now we’re already two games down. The weather wasn’t nice but we got it done.”

The Firebirds will travel to Ozark (Mo.) at 4:30 p.m. Friday.

CONNECTICUT COACH KEVIN OLLIE PLEADS with his defense during the first half.

Huskie happy for pal Selden

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Des Moines, Iowa — After watching his team trim a 23-point Kansas University lead to nine on two occasions late in the first half of Saturday’s second-round NCAA Tournament game at Wells Fargo Arena, UConn freshman Jalen Adams said he could feel the momentum turning the Huskies’ way.

But both times a familiar face and fellow Roxbury, Mass., native made plays that pushed the KU lead back to double digits and kept UConn from completing the comeback.

The red, watery eyes that radiated from Adams’ face in the locker room after Kansas’ 73-61 victory told the story of how hard the loss hit the 6-foot-3, 187-pound guard experiencing his first taste of March Madness.

But given that his Saturday foe and the game’s hero was hometown friend Wayne Selden Jr., Adams was more than happy to praise the play of the KU junior who finished with 22 points, seven rebounds, three assists and some of the game’s most crucial plays.

“If anyone had to beat us, I’m glad it was one of my good friends,” Adams said. “But I wish he would’ve saved that for a different game.”

With Kansas (32-4) leading 52-43 with 8:47 to play, Selden did what many believed he would do all season after watching him uncork a different brand of basketball during KU’s run to the gold medal at the World University Games in Korea last summer.

Driving down the lane to his right, Selden slipped past the UConn defense and hit soft jumper in the lane. Kansas 54, UConn 43.

On the next Kansas possession, Selden caught a pass from Perry Ellis on the wing and drove left, finishing with a little floater just outside of the paint. Kansas 56, UConn 43.

The Jayhawks still needed six points to climb above the Huskies’ total of 61. So, technically, those buckets did not win Kansas the game. But they sure did seem to prevent Uconn (25-11) from making a push to claim control.

Selden also assisted on an Ellis jumper out of a timeout that followed UConn cutting KU’s lead to 50-41 with just under 10 minutes to play.

“He played great,” Adams said of Selden. “He stepped up on the big stage and played great basketball.”

Added UConn coach Kevin Ollie: “I want to take my hat off to Kansas.

That’s a real good team, solid players up and down. They didn’t really use their bench. The guys that started played a lot of minutes, and they (were) effective in what they (were) doing. So they’re going to be a very, very tough out of this tournament.”

Asked if anything he saw from Selden on Saturday surprised him, Adams shook his head and said, “Nah.” “He performed like a pro today,” Adams said.

“And I wish him the best.

I hope he goes on to do Mike Yoder/Journal-World Photo bigger and better things, starting with winning the KANSAS UNIVERSITY FORWARD LANDEN LUCAS (33) BLOCKS A SHOT by Connecticut guard Sterling Gibbs (4) in KU’s 73-61 victory in an NCAA Tournament Round of 32 game Saturday in Des Moines, Iowa. national championship.”

That’s the dunk in which Selden went coastto-coast, finishing a onehanded jam after driving the lane. TV cameras showed his uncle ripping off his hat in the stands while rejoicing.

“The one against Baylor was better,” said Graham, who had five rebounds and two assists on a day Frank Mason III struggled to the tune of eight points off 1-of-8 shooting with four assists, four turnovers.

“That one was on somebody (Ish Wainright). This one he just took off (on lob). This may be second,” added Graham, who acknowledged the lob “was perfect. I threw it right over his (defender Jalen Adams) fingers.”

“Well, this one means more, so I’ll rate this one over it,” Selden said. “At the end of the day, these (dunks) are more important now.”

The Jayhawks — thanks in part to Selden and Ellis’ 25 first-half points that helped KU grab a 44-24 halftime advantage — exorcised some demons. KU had lost in the second-round the past two seasons.

Ellis hit two free throws, then Selden hit a five-footer and eightfooter on ensuing possessions, Ellis concluding an 8-2 rally with a dunk that

gave KU a 58-43 advantage.

“Aaron Miles (staff member and former KU guard) always tells us to play off two feet. I played off two feet on both of those (jumpers) so I’d be more under control,” Selden said of his two short shots that pretty much ended UConn’s hopes of a comeback win.

Of holding Hamilton down, Selden said: “It’s always great to play against other great players. I took the challenge head-on. It was a good matchup.”

The Jayhawks were looking forward to a pleasant three-hour bus ride back to Lawrence after the game. They’ll take today off, practice Monday and head to Louisville, site of the Sweet 16, on Tuesday.

“We had a little ‘getting over the hump,’ celebration. It wasn’t much. We want more,” Selden said of the postgame celebration in the locker room.

“I’ve never had one of these before,” Selden added of the happy bus ride home after a secondround NCAA game. “This is going to be fun. We’re really looking forward to practice on Monday.

We’re not going to sit back and relax. Everybody is focused and realizes our job is not finished.”

KU beat the Huskies, 73-61, Saturday in Des Moines, Iowa, to earn a trip to the Sweet 16.

NOTEBOOK

Self happy to see feisty attitude “I just bumped knees,” Ellis said. “I knew it wasn’t anything but that, and I got back in the game as quick as I could.

I wanted to be out there.”

Noted Selden: “What went through my head is, I saw it, and I go, ‘Oh, shoot.’ I didn’t say it like that, kinda said something different, and I go, ‘What happened?’ And he said, ‘I bumped my knee.

And I go, ‘OK, you’re fine!’”

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Des Moines, Iowa — Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self loved his team’s feisty attitude at halftime of Saturday’s 73-61 secondround NCAA South Regional victory over UConn in Wells Fargo Arena.

The squad’s veteran players were animated despite leading, 44-24.

“It has a different feel to me, basically most of the year, because these guys played lights-out the first half, and at halftime they are chewing on each other because a couple possessions they didn’t execute right. I think that’s good,” Self said of his veteran team.

“I don’t think guys who have been in the program nine months have the same feel because these guys (veterans) have been through the last two years and not advanced out of this (second) round. I think that’s good.

I think it probably seems more special because of all the time they’ve invested.”

Self spoke to junior guard Frank Mason III in the tunnel at halftime.

Mason had two points, three turnovers, four assists at the break and finished with eight points off 1-of-8 shooting with four assists, four turnovers and five rebounds.

“I don’t know that

“He wasn’t bad today by any stretch, I’m not saying that, but I didn’t think when things kind of went a little bit south for him personally, not our team, but for him per-

sonally, I thought he quit being aggressive and lost a little focus, so we were just trying to get him back.”

Self continued on the topic of Mason …

“Frank is one of those guys when things aren’t going well, he can focus in on making it a personal confrontation as opposed to thinking, ‘Hey, it’s not my night, but I’m going to make sure I do things in other areas.’ He’s a little stubborn. I’m glad he’s our stubborn guy,” Self said.

Traylor throws some of the credit for that the way of Lucas.

“Landen’s turned into CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C a great shot-blocker down there,” Traylor that’s what’s going to said. “He’s a force to be win,” Traylor said. “Dereckoned with on the fense wins championblock.

During his two games

in Wells Fargo Arena, Lucas totaled 50 minutes and produced 22 points, 20 rebounds, blocked five shots and made eight of 11 field goals and made six of seven free throws.

His line from Saturday’s game — six points, 12 rebounds, four assists, one turnover, three blocks and a steal — demonstrates how much his game has grown.

Maryland, KU’s possible next opponent, has far more size than either Austin Peay or UConn, but with the growth of his confidence, Lucas won’t shy away from the challenge, and Traylor will be ready to give him a hand.

Keegan

“The strange thing is, Devonté (Graham, 13 points) was on, Wayne (Selden Jr., 22 points) was on, Perry (Ellis, 21 points) was on ... Frank, that was about as poor offensively a game as he’s had. We’ve got to get him back next week, obviously.” l

He’s OK: Perry Ellis banged knees with a UConn player and left the floor limping early in the contest. Fans were relieved when he was back after a minute or so on the sidelines.

Relatives matter: Selden on playing well when his Uncle Anthony is in attendance, as he was Saturday: “I guess he has to keep coming. I don’t know, just being out there and being aggressive, I got a great group of guys around me, and it’s easy when you got it like that,” Selden said. l

Ellis on advancing to the Sweet 16 after losing in the second round the last two years: “There was a lot of motivation from last year, that feeling that we had and we just want to continue to play the way we are and have fun and take it game by game.” l

Self on KU leading 18-5 early and 44-24 at half: “Well, it was great to get a big lead. We were really, really, really good the first half. I thought both ends we defended, we

rebounded, we put pressure on the defense, and of course it helps when you make shots. But that was good first half. Then second half, we didn’t do very many of the same things that we accomplished the first half. We became very passive,” Self said. l

Good board work: Self liked his team’s work on the boards. KU outrebounded UConn, 44-24.

“They had 41 misses and get five back,” Self said. “I thought our guys did great job defensively on the glass (36 defensive boards).” l

Milestone: Ellis passed Kirk Hinrich and Dave Robisch to move into ninth place on the KU career scoring list. He’s one point shy of Paul Pierce, who is eighth. Ellis has 1,767 points. l

Chat with team: Self called a timeout when UConn sliced a 24-point deficit to nine in the second half. KU responded with an 8-2 run.

“I think we called a couple of plays, but the first one was the biggest one. They were zone, and Perry made about a 16-footer right from the free-throw line in the middle of the zone,” Self said. “So that to me was the biggest shot of the game if there was a biggest shot.”

OU faces another dangerous ’dog Oklahoma City (ap) — Oklahoma coach Lon Kruger said his team sees Virginia Commonwealth simply as a good team heading into their second-round NCAA Tournament matchup today.

The Rams aren’t in a Power Five conference — they play in the Atlantic 10. And VCU was one of a record 10 double-digit seeds that won in the opening round — the 10th-seeded Rams knocked off seventhseeded Oregon State to advance in the West Region.

But No. 2 seed Oklahoma (26-7) also is aware that VCU is not a typical double-digit seed. The Rams (25-10) went to the Final Four in 2011 and are in the NCAA Tournament for the sixth straight year. The Sooners will try to avoid the upset and reach the Sweet 16 for the second straight year.

“The tape we’ve seen so far on them, that our guys have seen — it gets their attention pretty easily,” Kruger said. “They know we have a tough challenge, and we’ll have to play well to have a chance to win tomorrow.”

Still, Kruger made sure his team was aware of how the first round went for the big boys.

“Anytime you can be here today is a good start,” Kruger said. “Tournament games are hard to win, as evidenced by the last couple days. A lot of good teams aren’t playing today, and I told our guys that — to appreciate the

UPSET CITY The number of upsets, based on seed, since the NCAA tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985, with lowest seed remaining after the first round: Year No Low 2016 13 15 2001 13 15 1999 12 14 1989 12 14 2013 10 15 2012 10 15 2010 10 14 2009 10 13 1991 9 15 2006 9 14 1998 9 14 1987 9 14 1996 9 13 1994 9 12 2014 8 14 2005 8 14 1995 8 14 1992 8 14 2008 8 13 2003 8 13 1990 7 14 2011 7 13 2002 7 13 1985 7 13 1997 6 15 1993 6 15 1986 6 14 2015 5 14 1988 5 14 2007 5 11 2004 4 12 2000 3 11 Sue Ogrocki/AP Photo

First-year VCU coach Will Wade said his team doesn’t view itself as an underdog, but the Rams will play loose.

“This is when we’ve done good work in the past, and we need to show up and put our best foot forward,” Wade said.

Here are some things to look for in today’s matchup:

Handling Hield: Oklahoma’s Buddy Hield, the nation’s No. 2 scorer, was held in check for much of Friday’s game against Cal State Bakersfield, but he scored 16 of his 27 points in the final 14 minutes.

“He is a gifted scorer,” VCU guard Korey Billbury said. “He can score at all three levels. If you can run him off the three point line, he pulls up. If you take away his pull-up, he can get to the bucket.”

Not just MJ: VCU features Melvin Johnson, a 6-foot-4 senior guard who averages 17.2 points per game and has made 105 3-pointers this season.

Johnson scored 12 points against Oregon State on 5-for-15 shooting, but his teammates shot better than 50 percent. JeQuan Lewis scored 21 points and Mo Alie-Cox added 20 against the Beavers.

Coaching experience: Oklahoma coach Lon

Kruger is 63 and got his first head coaching job in 1982. Wade, 33, was born in 1982 and recently was thought to be younger by a bus driver.

“The bus driver thought I was one of the players when I got on the bus,” Wade said. “I said, ‘No, sir, I’m the head coach.’ He said, ‘Really, you’re making the decisions here?’”

Kruger said he respects Wade and is impressed

with how he runs the team.

“You don’t think about him being a young coach, you think about him being a very good coach when you watch his teams play,” Kruger said.

Pressure defense: VCU likes to press and trap, which could create problems for an Oklahoma squad that can be turnover prone. The Sooners average 12.9 turnovers per contest, while VCU forces 15.2.

NCAA MEN’S TOURNAMENT

Miami holds off Shockers ————

Indiana ousts Kentucky; Cyclones advance The Associated Press

South Regional No. 3 Miami 65, No. 11 Wichita St. 57 Providence, R.I. — Angel Rodriguez took over after Miami blew a 21-point lead midway through the second half, hitting a big three-pointer with 72 seconds remaining and scoring 28 points to lead the Hurricanes over Wichita State on Saturday to advance to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament.

Miami (27-7) made it that far three years ago under Jim Larranaga, in his fifth season as head coach.

Sheldon McClellan finished with 18 points, and Davon Reed had 10 for the Hurricanes.

Fred VanVleet and Shaquille Morris each had 12 points and Ron Baker 11 for Wichita State (26-9), which put on a furious rally in the second half of a bruising game, taking a 43-42 lead with 10:24 to go.

After Baker’s threepointer gave Wichita State its first lead, Ja’Quan Newton had a slam dunk to put Maimi back on top, and McClellan scored eight straight points for some separation.

McClellan nearly gave it away, though, when he failed to convert a lob from Rodriguez with 2:59 left and Miami clinging to a 55-51 lead.

Rodriguez came back with a stunning hook off the glass for a 57-53 lead with 2:05 left and followed with his clutch three from the wing.

With their fans cheering “We shock! We shock!” the Shockers erased the daunting deficit with another gutsy performance in the second half.

Zach Brown hit a three and VanVleet followed with a steal and another three, both baskets in a span of 11 seconds, and Morris’s hook in the lane off a steal by Baker closed the gap to nine with nearly 16 minutes left, plenty of time for a comeback for the team that won a play-in game then upset sixth-seeded Arizona.

Baker then set up Markis McDuffie for a three, and Morris set a perfect screen on Rodriguez at the top of the key to free VanVleet for a driving layup through the paint.

Larranaga was whistled for a technical after protesting a call as the Hurricanes struggled to hold their edge. That margin finally disappeared when Baker drained a three for a shocking 43-42 lead.

Much of the focus figured to center on the performance of the backcourts featuring four seniors — VanVleet and Baker against Rodriguez and McClellan. The Miami duo is a tad older, but the Shockers had more tournament experience.

Age took over at the start and came through at the end.

Rodriguez was 7-for-7 for 16 points in the opening half, scoring 11 points in the first eight minutes.

Brandon Ingram added 25 points and five rebounds for the defending champions.

Duke led by as many as 27 points before seeing that dwindle to just three points with less than a minute to play.

Yale came close to forcing a needed turnover, but eventually had to foul. Duke connected on four of its final five free throws to close out the game.

Brandon Sherrod led the 12th-seeded Bulldogs with 22 points.

East Regional No. 1 N. Carolina 85, No. 9 Providence 66 Raleigh, N.C. — Brice Johnson had 21 points and 10 rebounds, and North Carolina pulled away from Providence.

Joel Berry II added 15 points for the East Region’s top seed, which found itself in a fight well into the second half against the Friars’ highscoring duo of Ben Bentil and Big East player of the year Kris Dunn. But the Tar Heels (30-6) stepped up their offensive efficiency, attacked the paint and started cashing in at the line as the fouls piled up for Providence (24-11).

Justin Jackson scored on a drive to start an 8-0 run that broke a 41-all tie, and then Johnson scored six straight points in the 10-0 burst that put the Tar Heels up 17 with 61⁄2 minutes left.

No. 5 Indiana 73, No. 4 Kentucky 67 Des Moines, Iowa — Thomas Bryant scored 15 of his 19 points in the final eight minutes, Yogi Ferrell had 18, and Indiana beat Kentucky to earn a spot in the Sweet 16.

The Hoosiers (27-7) will return to the regional semifinals for the first time since 2012 despite losing starting guard Robert Johnson to an apparent left ankle injury late in the first half.

Indiana took control with a 17-4 run to go up 10 with four minutes left. Tyler Ulis and Alex Poythress pulled Kentucky within 69-67 on free throws, but Bryant hit two from the line with 10 seconds to go to seal the win.

Ulis scored 27 points for Kentucky (27-9), which suffered its earliest NCAA Tournament exit since 2008 — when it lost to a Marquette team then led by current Indiana coach Tom Crean.

Jamal Murray added 16 for the Wildcats, but he was just 1-of-9 on threes.

Midwest Regional No. 1 Virginia 77, No. 9 Butler 69 Raleigh, N.C. — Malcolm Brogdon scored 22 points, and Virginia used some hot second-half shooting to beat Butler.

Anthony Gill added 17 points, and Marial Shayok finished with 12 for the top-seeded Cavaliers (28-7).

They shot 73 percent after halftime, hitting 14 of their first 16 shots of the second half, and advanced to the Sweet 16 for the second time in three years.

They will face Iowa State (23-11) on March 25 in the Midwest Regional semifinals.

No. 11 Gonzaga 82, No. 3 Utah 59 Denver — Gonzaga stayed on a roll, getting 22 points from Eric McClellan and another double-double from Domantas Sabonis in a runaway over Utah.

The Bulldogs (28-7), who beat Seton Hall by 16 points in the first round, are onto the Sweet 16 for the second straight year.

This game was billed as a battle of big men, between the 6-foot-11 Sabonis and Utah’s 7-footer, Jakob Poeltl, but it never materialized. Poeltl finished with five points and four rebounds, while Sabonis had 19 and 10.

No. 4 Iowa State 78, No. 12 Little Rock 61 Denver — Georges Niang scored 28 points, and Iowa State watched Josh Hagins closely in the second half of a win over Little Rock.

The Cyclones (23-11) advanced to their second Sweet 16 in three years.

Niang, the winningest player (97) in Cyclones history and Iowa State’s only two-time All-American, was simply too much for the 12th-seeded Trojans (30-5) of the Sun Belt.

For the second straight game, Hagins had just two points at halftime.

Unlike last time, when he went off for 29 more in a double-overtime win against Purdue, Hagins added just six after the break.

Led by Roger Woods’ 19 points, the Trojans kept things close for much of the first half, and Kemy Osse’s three-pointer pulled Little Rock to 26-24.

Niang responded by doing all of the heavy work in a 10-0 spurt that helped the Cyclones grab control for good.

Bridgeport Regional No. 2 Texas 86, No. 15 Alabama St. 42 Austin, Texas — Ariel Atkins scored 15 points, and Texas used a dominant third quarter on its home court to roll to a win over Alabama State on Saturday in the NCAA Women’s Tournament opener.

Texas raced to a big early lead, but defensive lapses and poor shooting let Alabama State hang around longer than the Hornets probably expected. That all changed

When it comes to illness, including ear, nose & throat issues, we know that your child is not just a “miniadult.” Kids often display different symptoms than grownup patients, and they definitely have their own language of complaints. It’s our job to be sensitive to that—and to be sensitive to the parents’ needs and worries as well. It’s just how we do things here.

Shown are today’s noon positions of weather systems and precipitation.

shut down 11th-seeded Purdue 61-45 for a firstround NCAA victory.

The Sooners’ doubledigit block total was their highest since rejecting 10 against Baylor on Feb. 21, 2009, and they fell just two short of matching their 15 blocks against Texas on March 7, 2007.

But shot-blocking was just one highlight of an Oklahoma defensive effort that also held Purdue to just 28 percent shooting.

The Sooners (22-10) were better from the field at 43 percent but improved to 4-0 all-time against the Boilermakers.

OLD WEST, NEW TWIST Contributed Photos

ACTRESS ALEXANDRA GOODMAN, IN COSTUME AS FRONTIER WOMAN KITTY MAE, BRANDISHES HER CHARACTER’S WEAPONS OF CHOICE in this behind-the-scenes image from “Red Bird.”

The new Web series, which tells the tale of Kitty Mae’s quest to avenge her murdered son, premieres Thursday at redbirdseries.com.

Quantrill-inspired ‘Red Bird’ defies genre norms

By Joanna Hlavacek lll

Twitter: @HlavacekJoanna

T

hursday sees the release of the first two episodes of “Red Bird,” the new Web series created and co-written by Lawrence husbandand-wife filmmaking duo Jeremy Osbern and Misti Boland. The gritty Western follows 1860s frontier woman Kitty Mae (Alexandra Goodman), a Lawrence mother mourning her 12-year-old son, who was gunned down by Missouri ruffians in a massacre not unlike the real-life violence of the Bleeding Kansas era. The boy’s death sends Kitty Mae on a bloody quest for revenge, and she won’t stop until every last man involved with the murder is dead.

A week before the series’ debut at redbirdseries.com, the Journal-World spoke with “Red Bird” director Boland and cinematographer Osbern about the project’s local ties (it was filmed mostly in northeast Kansas), breaking genre conventions and the wild women of the Wild West:

Q:

The series kicks off with a tragedy that bears a pretty striking resemblance to Quantrill’s Raid, right down to the time period, the setting and the violence that occurs. Was that event an inspiraMICHAEL MCSHANE, SEEN HERE ON THE SET OF “RED BIRD,” PLAYS SAM, a gunslinger with his own reasons for finding vigilante tion for this story?

JO:

The series starts off with the audience definitely rooting for the Kansas side of the border and then hopefully by the end, audiences will be a little more torn because you start seeing the cracks in Kitty Mae’s quest for revenge and how that affects the families of the people she’s killing.

Hopefully it will create a little more introspection about both sides of the conflict. It’s not just pro-Kansas or pro-Missouri — it’s showing how the violence split everyone apart and hurt everyone.

Stop reading son’s nasty social media posts Dear Annie: Many years ago, I was separated from my husband for several years. At the tail end of our separation, I discovered he had been cheating on me.

About a week after I learned this, I was approached by the husband of a woman I knew who was quite ill.

He said she had given permission for the two of us to sleep together.

Because my husband’s affair was fresh in my mind, I agreed to this, although now I can see it was misguided. I assumed my husband and I would be getting a divorce, and I was hoping this new relationship would lead somewhere.

After a while, I realized I was being used and ended it. My husband found out and he forgave me. In fact, we reconciled and are still

together.

Here’s the problem: Although my daughters have forgiven me, my son continues to make disrespectful remarks about me on social media. I have tried talking to him about it.

Obviously, he has never gotten over my affair, but he lives across the country, so it’s not as though we can go to counseling together. I’m not sure how to handle this and I’ve had enough. My

Tyler Perry takes on ‘The Passion’ What’s the difference between “must see TV” and “can’t avert your eyes” television?

Fox executives built a highwire act over a potential train wreck atop a cultural mine field when they commissioned producer/actor/director Tyler Perry to create “The Passion” (7 p.m., TV-PG), a contemporary pop musical take on the events in the New Testament, set in modern-day New Orleans.

Did I mention that this was a live broadcast? Produced by a guy best k n o w n for dressing up as loud, overweight women?

Everything about “The Passion” seems risky. Recent live TV musicals have all been shot in the confines of sets and stages. “The Passion” will unfold on the boisterous streets of New Orleans.

And then there’s the story.

For centuries, European productions of the passion were seen as incitements to mob violence. Director Mel Gibson’s 2004 film adaptation became a very profitable lightning rod.

Millions identified with its public piety. Others recoiled from its overt sadism. It was a Gibson movie, after all.

In a land of religious diversity and intensity, one person’s faithful retelling may be another’s blasphemy. Some have complained that “The Passion” shares a network with “Lucifer.” Others have noticed that it will feature not religious songs, but pop numbers arranged by executive producer Adam Anders, best known for his work on “Glee.”

Producer Mark Bracco told “Billboard” that “The Passion” would welcome all viewers, “whether you are a believer or (someone who) wants to hear Trisha Yearwood sing a Whitney Houston song.” Yearwood plays the Virgin Mary and sings Houston’s “My Love Is Your Love” as well as Jewel’s “Hands.” The soundtrack also includes “We Don’t Need Another Hero,” popularized by Tina Turner.

You can’t say Fox hasn’t promised us a spectacle.

Whether it turns out to be godly or ghastly remains to be seen. Since so much could go wrong, you have to admire both Fox and Perry for their audacity. Like all live performances, it represents a stupendous roll of the dice.

Tonight’s other highlights O A foreign policy controversy invades a family campus tour on “Madam Secretary” (7 p.m., CBS, TV-PG).

O “The Circus: Inside the Greatest Political Show on Earth” (7 p.m., Showtime, TV14) reviews the week’s primary votes.

O A victim takes a case to a gun shop owner on “The Good Wife” (8 p.m., CBS, TV-14).

heart is hardening toward him. — Hurt Mom Dear Mom: Your son’s nasty comments on social media are childish. He is trying to punish you. If you have not yet sincerely apologized to your son for causing him pain, please do so. You also can ask his father or sisters to intercede.

Otherwise, we strongly urge you to stop reading his posts. Such vitriol only hurts you repeatedly.

Dear Annie: I, too, was ‘’Married to a Kvetch,’’ and have some suggestions on how to handle the irritation.

My husband wasn’t sick, but he enjoyed broadcasting his health ailments. His favorite hobby was going to the doctor. Telling him to get a thorough checkup would not change any-

thing. We had good health insurance, so I indulged him. I listened, made suggestions and worked on keeping him distracted with activities and hobbies.

I knew he wouldn’t suddenly stop complaining. He was simply a hypochondriac. In spite of his constant complaints and ‘’poor health,’’ he lived to age 94. ‘’Married to a Kvetch’’ says her husband is otherwise a good guy. I would tell her to love him, and to try to understand the reason for his behavior.

It makes all the difference in tolerating it. — Understanding Widow

SHELF LIFE

BESTSELLERS

TAO FOR TOTS

Here are the bestsellers for the week that ended Sunday, March 13, compiled from nationwide data.

Picture books for life’s ups and downs, from plane crashes to bird poop

I

t’s hard to put a finger on what makes a great title, and like everything else about reading, it’s a matter of taste.

Among the classics are the biblical (“East of Eden”), the ominous (“For Whom the Bell Tolls”), the elegant (“Beloved”), and the just plain weird (“Wuthering Heights” ... what does “wuthering” mean, anyway?).

My favorites tend to be titles that make universal pronouncements in complete sentences, like “The Heart is a Lonely Hunter,” “Things Fall Apart,” or “You Can’t Go Home Again.”

So I was pleased to see a new book arrive at the library that has as its title the grandest, truest statement about the human experience I’ve ever heard: “Someday a Bird Will Poop on You.” This picture book by Sue Salvi and Megan Kellie breaks this sad news to children and provides advice on how to deal with it. “You can get really mad and cry and stomp ... or you can remain calm, wash it off, laugh about it, and think to yourself, ‘Chances are I won’t have another bird poop on me for a while, and if they do, what a hilarious story that will be.’”

Most people do have a story about getting pooped on by a bird. My own was not so hilarious, at least not to me, but it was to my mom, with whom my 7-year-old self was picking a bratty bone when justice fell from the sky in the form of a stinky white blob of goo. I was horrified even before she stopped laughing long enough to explain what it was.

At the time I didn’t appreciate her reaction, but now that I have kids I understand the therapeutic value of a little parental schadenfreude every now and then.

I had a dose the other day as I placed an order at McDonald’s, listening with one ear to my kids behind me critically assess this month’s Happy Meal toys, my blood pressure rising with each ungrateful word I heard.

Suddenly, their whining ceased. When I glanced back I saw something had shocked them into a terrified silence: A grown man in bright red wig and giant red shoes, his face covered with white paint, kneeled to engage them at the level of their own eyes, from which now brimmed tears of panic.

It was Ronald McDonald in the flesh, handing out a little instant karma along with his fun-filled activity booklets. A blessing in a clown disguise. Or a serial killer.

Either way, he backed off and left them a quivering mass of good manners, which put me in such a fine mood we were all soon eating ice cream cones.

Reversals of fortune like this recall one of the best picture books ever to tackle the ups and downs of life, Remy Charlip’s 1964 classic, “Fortunately,” in which alternating mishaps and miracles “fortunately” or “unfortunately” befall a boy on the way to a party. Unfortunately,

his plane is about to crash. Fortunately, he finds a parachute. Unfortunately, it has a hole in it. Fortunately, he’s headed straight for a haystack. And so on.

After 32 pages of this, kids may be ready for Jon Muth’s “Zen Shorts,” which evens the keel by presenting a Taoist fable, “The Farmer’s Luck,” in which a farmer refuses to label events lucky or unlucky at all.

His horse runs away only to return with two more wild horses.

His son breaks his leg, only to be spared the next day from joining an army headed for war.

All the while, his neighbors comment, “Such bad luck!” or “Such good luck!” to which the farmer simply responds, “Maybe.”

Fortunately, kids can be certain of at least one thing. Unfortunately, it’s that creepy clowns, or something else unexpected, can appear at any time.

Fortunately, there are books to read before bed to help make sense of it. Unfortunately, half asleep dads confuse matters when they mumble advice like “Life hands you bird poop, and all you can do is make lemonade.”

Fortunately, the kids don’t even hear it, because they’re already asleep.

Rock ’n’ roll buffs, here’s your required reading

By Carolyn Kellogg Associated Press

S

tories of sex, drugs and rock ’n’ roll: These are the basic elements of a rock book. Make the band the Rolling Stones and you get “Life” by Keith Richards (2010), a memoir notable not just because the legendary guitarist lived through all those crazy exploits but because he remembers them. Focus in on N.Y. punk music scene and there’s nothing better than “Please Kill Me” (1996), the oral history by Gillian McCain and Legs McNeil; Jon Savage did British punk right in “England’s Dreaming” (1992). If you’re talking Riot Grrrls, the best history of the music and movement is Sarah Marcus’ “Girls to the Front” (2010).

There are endless variations. When I asked people on Facebook their favorites, the list quickly topped 100, with a couple that came back for several encores (thanks to the hive-mind help, and the clear joy we all have in reading these books). These books are those most essential in telling the story of rock ’n’ roll

in all its glamorous and dirty glory.

Among the most gloriously dirty: David Lee Roth’s “Crazy From the Heat” (1997), in which he philosophizes and airs Van Halen laundry when not reveling in his sins (“my personal record is five chicks at once”) and “The Dirt” by Mötley Crüe (2001), told with the aid of Neil Strauss, jampacked with all the porn stars, binges, overdoses, brushes with the law, stadium shows and

depraved excess a hair band could want.

There’s a long history of telling tales of overindulgence. Stephen Davis’ “Hammer of the Gods” (1985), about Led Zeppelin, set the bar for lurid stories — but whether the bar is high or low depends on your point of view (the band has disputed the book). Guitar god Johnny Winter’s highs and lows, including a set at Woodstock and his genuinely

which is best, but for this list it’s the Jerry Lee Lewis bio “Hellfire” (1982).

Bob Dylan shared some of his secrets — albeit Dylanesquely — in “Chronicles Vol. 1” (2004) (the first in a planned but not yet published trilogy). The Doors’ Morrison was remembered as being frequently drunk in bandmate Ray Manzarek’s “Light My Fire” (1998).

And it turns out people who like to read about rock exploits also like a little criticism in the mix.

The most gonzo of all rock critics was, of course, Lester Bangs, whose writings were collected posthumously in “Psychotic venal management, are outlined in “Raisin’ Cain” Reactions and Carburetor Dung” (1988).

(2010) by Mary Lou SulMore academic and livan. Writing about the Alice Cooper band in “Bil- genuinely seminal is Greil Marcus’ “Lipstick lion Dollar Baby” (1974), Traces” (1989), one of the Bob Greene chronicled first books to turn a cool over-the-top backstage scholarly lens on the madshenanigans and infightness of rock and its place ing. in the culture. Afterward Crooner Leonard Cocame Simon Reynolds, hen waited until he was whose books include the 78 before deciding it was time for an authorized bi- post-punk chronicle “Rip ography, “I’m Your Man” It Up and Start Again” (2012) by Sylvie Simmons.
