T

hanks to the forces of March Madness, the 22year armistice between the Kansas and Wichita State men’s basketball teams — a relationship still characterized as a rivalry — is coming to an end.

Their arenas are separated by 164 miles, but the two will face off in Omaha, Neb., today in the NCAA Tournament’s Round of 32 for the first time since before many of the players were even born.

Although the public has largely put the onus on KU to arrange a regular season meeting between the two teams, Jayhawk followers, like Shocker fans, had been hopeful they would cross paths ever since the tournament’s bracket

was revealed.

“I’m looking forward to it, but I know they’re looking forward to it more than we are,” said Bob Thurber, a 64-year-old Jayhawk fan, as he watched KU win its

tournament opener Friday, before WSU had even tipped off.

Next in Topeka: guns, abortion, state budget

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — Kansas lawmakers are about to head into the final stretch of the 2015 regular session, and Republican leaders say they are generally pleased with their progress so far.

But the next two weeks will be filled with long days of debate over issues ranging from the state budget to abortion to concealed handguns.

“I think we’re on track,” LEGISLATURE said House Majority Leader Jene Vickrey, R-Louisburg.

Vickrey said the biggest accomplishment so far was passage of the school finance bill that repeals the existing funding formula and replaces it for the next two years with a system of block grants to the state’s 286 school districts.

“The block grant bill was the most important legislation we’ve passed through here probably since I’ve been here,” said Vickrey, who was first elected in November 1992, the election immediately after the current funding system was adopted.

“Get the state’s finances back on track and do what’s right for our students in the classroom,” he said. “Get a formula designed that’s about the student, based on fact. And that’s a huge step toward those goals. And we all agree. That’s something that everybody wants to see, the classroom being the focus of our school formula.”

But Rep. Tom Burroughs, D-Kansas City, the House minority leader, was less enthusiastic.

“The session has been reflective of the policies we’ve witnessed in the past from this administration,” Burroughs said. “We’ve seen the education bill passed by a very, very thin margin, and it took a couple of hours to reach the votes to do that.”

Budget and taxes Chief among the bills pending on both calendars are the budget bills that appropriate money to fund

state agencies for the next two fiscal years.

The Senate is expected to vote on its bill Wednesday, while the House hasn’t yet settled on a date, although some House aides say it will likely be Tuesday.

Senate Majority Leader Terry Bruce, R-Hutchinson, said he thinks both chambers are in position to pass initial budget bills without much controversy.

“The main goal is to get something into conference committee with the House,” Bruce said. “That way, when the (April) consensus revenue estimates come in, they can give us some better projections based on what passed the Senate chamber.”

The revenue estimates come from the Consensus Revenue Estimating Group, a panel of economists from Kansas University, Kansas State University and Wichita State University, as well as both administration and legislative budget officials.

They meet behind closed doors, usually twice a year, to analyze economic trends in the state and project what total revenues will be for the current fiscal year

l

and the next year. By law, their numbers must be used as the basis for the budget that the governor submits to the Legislature as well as the final appropriations bill the Legislature passes in the spring.

The main difference between the two versions of the budget is that the Senate Ways and Means Committee stripped out funding for the judicial branch and put that into a separate bill, a move that could invite various amendments dealing with judicial selection and makeup of the courts.

But according to the Legislative Research Department, both bills call for spending about $135 million more than the state is expected to have available for upcoming fiscal year.

Republican Gov. Sam Brownback has called for significant tax increases on alcohol, cigarettes and other tobacco products to fill in that gap, but there is significant opposition to that idea, even among Republicans.

Both chambers plan to begin working on major tax plans when they return in late April for what’s known

as the veto session, which begins shortly after the new official revenue estimates will come out.

“We’re going to have to see where we stand on the budget at the end of the day,” Bruce said. “We’ll see where we are, see what kind of obligation we still need to meet, and that’ll be the topic of discussion in veto session.”

House Democratic leader Burroughs, however, says he doesn’t think it will be an easy process.

“I find it kind of ironic that, if those who are willing to support the budget (do so), then I’m anticipating they’re going to be willing to support the tax increases necessary, or the revenue increases necessary to support the budget,” Burroughs said.

Other bills pending Meanwhile, both chambers have scores of bills sitting on their calendars that they plan to deal with in the next two weeks, many dealing with highly controversial issues beyond budget and taxes.

The House calendar cur-

rently includes a bill to legalize carrying concealed handguns without a permit, and an abortion bill that would prohibit what the bill’s supporters call “dismemberment abortions.”

And further down the calendar are two proposed constitutional amendments to change the way Kansas Supreme Court justices are selected, and a bill to move municipal and school board elections to November of even-numbered years.

On the Senate side, there is a bill to make it more difficult for the state to impose carbon emission standards on power plants or enact any other regulations to implement the federal Clean

County: Jail expansion would be ‘extremely public process’

Douglas County officials will host the first in a series of town hall meetings Monday night to discuss issues surrounding the county jail, and one of the issues likely to come up will be how to pay for a possible expansion of the jail.

Church-owned home slated for demolition; neighbors protest

It is not exactly the signs of spring nor Easter that are around the Central United Methodist Church these days.

Salina (ap) — The first students to enroll in a Salina medical school program that is billed as the smallest of its kind have learned where they will serve their residencies.

The four-year program, which started in 2011, has just eight students in each class. On Friday, the first group received envelopes containing the names of the programs that had accepted them, The Salina Journal reports.

Dr. William CathcartRake, director of the University of Kansas School of Medicine in Salina, told the students that he felt that they had become like children to him. “I feel that I’ve raised you for the four years, and now you’re leaving,� he said. “I love you. Come back and visit us,� he concluded, with tears in his eyes.

Tyson Wisinger said that while interviewing for residencies, he got lots of questions about his experience with the program, whose focus is preparing students to treat patients in underserved rural areas. Students train over video conferencing, in the offices of rural physicians and at the Salina Regional Health Center. “I wouldn’t change where I went for the world,� he said.

Grant said that selling the property isn’t feasible because part of the church’s parking lot is actually on the property that goes with the house.

He said the church would have to lose a significant amount of parking if it sold the home.

Jim Connelly, who lives next door to the house proposed for demolition, said the home’s condition is too good for it to be torn down and removal of the house would create instability in the block.

“Our main concern is it would be a huge empty space, and then what do they do with that space?” said Connelley, who said he has about 30 signatures on a petition opposing the demolition. “Do they put a playground in there, or do they put a parking lot in there?”

Grant said the church doesn’t have any immediate plans for how to use the space. It simply would allow the property to become green space for the foreseeable future. Grant said the church is just trying to figure out a way to relieve itself of maintenance costs without losing its current parking.

A HOME LOCATED AT 1508 VERMONT ST. is the topic of dispute among some neighbors who want to keep it from being demolished. Central United Methodist Church, which holds ownership of the property, has filed plans to tear down the house, saying that it can no longer afford to maintain it. house and the parking.

Dennis Brown, president of the LPA, said there are variances and other City Hall approvals that could be granted that would allow the house and the parking lot to co-exist.

He said the LPA would take the lead in helping the church win approval of those variances.

Brown said the LPA also is looking for possible buyers that could move the house to another lot, but he said the LPA doesn’t prefer that option.

“Demolishing or relo-

cating the house really would hurt the stability of that immediate neighborhood,” Brown said.

“What is aggravating is that it is not a dilapidated structure.”

Brown said he believes $5,000 to $10,000 of work could be done to the house to make it a perfectly fine rental.

“Someone could be living in it right now,” Brown said.

Grant said the church has seen maintenance costs rise with issues of a leaking basement, wiring issues, heating and

cooling issues, and several other items in need of repair.

Grant said the church has agreed to meet again with the LPA. He said he hopes to have a resolution for the property by May. City Hall officials are responsible for issuing the demolition permit, but since the house isn’t listed as a historic structure or isn’t within the environs of a historic structure, there generally are no city regulations that would prevent the demolition.

He said he’s also not sure that the public is on board with the use of tax incentives to spur development that doesn’t produce a large number of high-quality jobs.

Several of the NRA Boley tax rebates have been more geared toward promoting affordable housing, infill development or rehabilitation of historic structures.

“We have to listen to what the people of Lawrence want,” Boley said.

“I have heard the people of Lawrence say they want to offer incentives for good jobs. I haven’t heard them say they want incentives for infill development, for example. I’m not sure we have had that public conversation yet.”

Boley said he’s also been concerned about the city issuing tax rebates for some apartment projects.

“We live in a town where 53 percent of the housing stock is rentals,” Boley said. “If you start giving incentives to every new landlord, you are disadvantaging a lot of folks.”

On other issues, Boley said: l He’s encouraged by the work the chamber of commerce is doing to attract new jobs to Lawrence. l Sales tax levels are “putting a brake on the Lawrence economy.” He said sales tax levels are too high.

Matthew Herbert Herbert, a Lawrence High teacher, said city commissioners have gone overboard recently

in their use of tax incentives.

“If you are in business and don’t ask the city commission for an incentive now, you are a fool,” Herbert said. “It has become so commonplace. It has gotten out of hand.”

Herbert said he thinks city commissioners also do a poor job of negotiating tax break deals. He cited the recent approval of a 10-year, 85 percent property tax rebate for the luxury apartment/retail project near the Kansas University campus.

He said some commissioners were congratulating themselves for standing up to the developer and rejecting his request for a 95 percent rebate.

“I think our current commission is really bad at playing poker,” Herbert said. “ T h e y Herbert have no ability to call a bluff.”

Herbert said there are instances where he would support tax incentives for new companies.

He said he’s looking for companies that create “new wealth” in the community. He said wants to be convinced that a company wouldn’t be competing against other companies in Lawrence.

“With tax incentives, we too often end up picking winners and losers,” Herbert said.

Herbert, who also operates a residential rental company, said he is against tax incentives for apartment projects. He said the large number of renters in the community should be enough of an incentive for those projects.

Herbert said he could support tax incentives for retailers in cases where he’s convinced large numbers of Lawrence

shoppers are leaving the city to get a product elsewhere. He gave an example of a store like Lumber Liquidators.

“The litmus test to me is an ability to prove that an industry doesn’t exist in the Lawrence marketplace,” Herbert said.

On other issues, Herbert said: l Any tax rebate greater than 50 percent “really sets off alarms in my head.” l He’s not completely against the use of special tax districts that charge a higher than normal sales tax. But he said he thinks business’ charging the sales tax should be required to post a sign or somehow alert consumers to the higher tax.

“They need to be aware that they are entering a business that charges a higher tax than the business across the street does,” Herbert said.

Stan Rasmussen Rasmussen, an attorney for the U.S. Army, said he thinks the city commission has “done a p r e t t y good job” of using tax incentives recently.

He said Rasmussen there are a variety of projects that could be worthy of receiving a tax incentive. He said projects that bring primary jobs with good benefits are obvious candidates for an incentive. But he said projects that don’t create a large number of permanent jobs also should still be considered. He said the city should not discount the value of the temporary construction jobs that are created by many of these larger projects.

Rasmussen also said projects that help meet

Sunday, March 22, 2015

other community goals also should be considered for incentives. He noted how much more difficult and expensive infill development can be compared to building new structures on the edge of town.

“If we want infill development as a community and we don’t want sprawl, then that might be another reason why an incentive would be appropriate for a particular development.”

Rasmussen also said he saw some value in the 85 percent tax rebate that the city offered the apartment/retail project near KU. He said even with an 85 percent rebate the project was so large — about $75 million — that it will still pay significantly more in taxes than the aged apartment complex previously on the property.

“I’m not sure that is a bad deal for the community,” Rasmussen said.

“We get an upgraded property and a development that will be a benefit to our largest employer in town.”

But Rasmussen said he also understands why people have concerns about whether the city is being too generous with the tax incentives it offers. He said he’s not sure the city is doing enough to analyze all the tax incentive requests. The city may need to bring in more outside expertise to help with that analysis, he said.

On other issues, Rasmussen said: l Special taxing districts are fine in limited circumstances. He said he didn’t think there was a need for businesses in those special taxing districts to put up signs or take other efforts to notify consumers of the

higher tax.

“I think consumers figure it out,” Rasmussen said. “I think if you put a little sign in the window, it just gets lost and people don’t notice it. And how often is the city going to go around and check to see if the sign is in place?” l The community is “doing OK” in its efforts to attract new jobs. He said he is particularly optimistic about the community’s ability to attract jobs to VenturePark, the new business park adjacent to East Hills Business Park. He said the pending opening of the Peaslee Technical Training Center in southeast Lawrence will make the city more competitive for businesses needing skilled labor.

Terry Riordan Riordan, a city commissioner and a Lawrence physician, said he’s convinced Lawrence soon will post some large job gains.

“We are right on the verge of an explosion of jobs in Lawrence,” Riordan said.

“I see so many opportunities. But if we get the wrong concepts on the city commisRiordan sion, we can ruin it just like we did 15 years ago.”

Riordan said the city was too negative toward business growth during that time period.

“If you have an attitude that you are going to say no to any tax incentive, that would be a mistake,” Riordan said. “If you say you don’t want big businesses, that would be a mistake.”

Riordan, though, said

the city can improve its tax incentive policies.

He said the commission needs to review why so many of its NRA tax rebates have exceeded the recommended 50 percent guideline.

“Right now, it is like a poker game,” Riordan said about how decisions are made on the size of incentives. “You have to do your due diligence and try to figure out what they really need to do the project.”

Riordan, who is finishing his first two-year term on the commission, said he thinks the commission needs to look at ways to make incentives more accessible to smaller businesses and projects.

On other issues, Riordan said: l He wants the city to do more to educate the public about how tax incentives work. He thinks people don’t fully understand that the tax break only impacts the amount of new taxes a project would pay in the future. If an incentive isn’t offered and the developer chooses not to do the project, the city loses, he said.

“One hundred percent of nothing is still nothing,” Riordan said. l Four of his six children have had to leave the community to find the professional level jobs that they sought. He said the city needs to be “progressive and smart” about how it attracts jobs, but businesses need for receive a strong message that they are welcome in Lawrence.

Tax CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5A

comes down to what a project will add to the community.

“Are we adding parking to downtown, are we enhancing the quality of life downtown, are we rehabilitating a historic structure, are we offering low-to-moderate income rents?”

Schumm Schumm said. “We have gotten all those things with various projects we have supported.”

Schumm said he is concerned about treating all businesses fairly in the community, but he said some businesses may qualify for an incentive when others may not because of differences in circumstances. For example, he said a downtown hotel project may be more likely to qualify for a tax incentive than a hotel project on the edge of town because the cost to develop downtown will be significantly higher, and the community has created a goal of keeping downtown strong.

“I pick and choose based on how I think a project will benefit the community,” Schumm said. “Not the developer. I don’t care who the developer is.”

Schumm said there are incentive deals that aren’t right for the community. He was one of two commissioners who did not support the incentives request for the apartment/retail project near KU. He said the project seemed to be geared toward high-rent tenants.

“I just couldn’t get there on that one,” he said.

On other issues, Schumm said: l The community is headed in the right direction on job growth.

“For the last 20 years we have focused on landing big companies with 100, 300 or 500 jobs, and we just didn’t get many,” Schumm said. “More recently, we have focused more on companies with two or three or four employees, and we have been much more successful.” l He would be aggressive in offering incentives to manufacturers and similar businesses looking to locate in VenturePark. Free land should be offered to companies.

The completion of the South Lawrence Trafficway and the opening of the Peaslee Technical Training Center will give the city multiple opportunities to land significant employers in the park.

Leslie Soden Soden, an owner of a Lawrence pet-sitting business, said she hasn’t liked how most tax incentives have worked at City Hall.

She said many of the recent tax breaks for hotels, apartments and other such projects have felt too much like “trickle-down economics.”

She said the city has granted the incenSoden tives based too much on “optimistic projections,” and general city goals that are tough to measure.

“Incentives need to be about fulltime jobs first and foremost,” Soden said. “It seems like an incentive request has just become a part of the business plan of all these developers. That is completely unfair to the other 99 percent of us who have to create business plans that don’t rely on tax breaks from the government.”

Soden, however, said she has liked how the city’s traditional tax abatement program has worked.

That program primarily has been used to spur job creation at manufacturers, such as Amarr Garage Doors and Grandstand Glassware.

“Those have been awesome,” Soden said. “It is a minimal amount of money, and they are structured so we can claw back the abatements if the companies don’t perform well.”

On other issues, Soden said: l City commissioners have been the “weak link” in following city policies related to economic development. The commission has been too eager to “grant exemptions and ignore policies.” l She is “very excited” about future development at VenturePark.

The city will need to be prepared to offer incentives to business to locate at the park. She wants the city to also look at encouraging more amenities at the business park, including day care, a small health clinic, food trucks, high-speed Internet and other features that could help sway a company’s decision to locate in the park.

L awrence J ournal -W orld

A review of popular city tax incentives The Journal-World used city documents and reports to look at how many incentives the city has given in recent years.

Recently the most popular type of incentive has involved the Neighborhood Revitalization Act, a state law that allows cities to rebate part of the new property taxes created by a development. In other words, if a property pays $5,000 in taxes before development and it would be subject to paying $15,000 in taxes after development, the city — along with approval from Douglas County and the school district — can rebate part of that $10,000 increment.

The program began in Lawrence in 2007. The city issued one tax break through the NRA that year. The next one didn’t come until 2011. Since 2011, the city has given five tax breaks through the program. Three of those five came in 2014.

The six tax rebates issued were: a low-income apartment project at 8th and Pennsylvania streets; an architectural office building near 11th and Vermont streets; an art gallery/office project in the Warehouse Arts District at 812 Pennsylvania St.; a remodel of a historic property into a residential rental and office project at 1106 Rhode Island St.; a luxury apartment building and retail project near the Kansas Union; and a lowincome apartment project at 900 Delaware St. Those projects are projected to receive at least $7.75 million in rebated taxes from the city, the county, the school district and the state. Some of the projects will receive the rebates over a 10-year period, some over a 15-year period, and some over a 20-year period. Most

J OIN US FOR AN A DVERTISING R OUNDTABLE

of the rebated taxes are property taxes, although some of the projects have received an exemption from paying sales taxes on construction material.

Those exemptions can be significant. For the luxury apartment project, the sales tax exemption is expected to total $2.4 million.

But there is another number city officials have looked at when granting these tax rebates: The amount of new construction promised by the developments. That number, too, has been significant. The six developments are projected to create $87.3 million worth of buildings. One project, the luxury apartment project, is expected to account for the bulk of the construction, with a price tag of $75.5 million.

That project also is slated to receive the largest tax rebate at $5.6 million over 10 years.

The NRA is just one incentive program the city uses. Others include: l Tax increment financing, another type of incentive that rebates the new taxes generated by development. The rebated taxes can be used by the developers to pay for public infrastructure such as sidewalks, storm sewers and other items needed to support the development.

It also can be used to pay for private parking garages. The Oread Hotel is in a TIF district, and since its beginning in 2009, the city has rebated about $2.1 million in property and sales taxes. The project could continue to receive rebates until 2029. The city also has approved a similar TIF district for the new Marriott hotel at Ninth and New Hampshire streets. But the project was only recently

completed, and the city has not yet issued any rebates. The city notes that the TIF incentives, like the NRA program, helped spur a lot of new construction. The Oread developers invested more than $18 million in the project, city officials estimate. l Transportation development districts involve a special sales tax added on to the city’s existing sales tax. The proceeds can be used by developers to pay for public infrastructure and private parking. The city had two special taxing districts in 2014: at The Oread hotel and at the retail shopping area known as Bauer Farms near Sixth and Wakarusa. Since both projects began in 2009, the city has rebated about $826,000 to the projects.

Both districts are scheduled to last for up to 22 years. The city notes the incentive has helped spur about $38 million in new construction between the two projects. l Tax abatements were the original type of financial incentive offered by the city. Typically they were given to manufacturers or warehouses in exchange for the company providing a certain number of jobs or making a certain size of capital investment. Four companies — Amarr Garage Doors, Prosoco, Grandstand Glassware and Sunlite Technologies — received tax abatements in 2014, when they had about $181,000 in property taxes abated. Since the beginning of their abatements, the four companies have added 330 new jobs and invested about $21 million in new buildings or equipment. All the tax abatements, by state law, are limited to 10 years.

Rivalry

“

You want to win, but if you don’t win you at least want to CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A put up a good, competitive fight just to following the Shockers show you belong. The since he was a boy, said Shocker fans are really worst-case scenario fired up for the opporis you go in and you tunity to play KU but that the match-up brings get embarrassed and everybody says you mixed emotions. “I think it will be by far don’t belong.� the toughest game we’re going to play, so you can’t help but be nervous,� he said. “You’re excited, but you’re nervous, too.�

When it comes to scheduling a regular season game, KU has long been seen as the disinterested party of the two, with head coach Bill Self telling the Kansas City Star in 2013 that “if it was best for our program, I would reach out to them about scheduling them.�

The two teams first met in 1908 and have played a total of just 14 times (KU has won 12 of them). The current 22year drought is only the third-longest cease-fire between them.

For Shocker fans hoping for a regular season meeting between the two teams, the success of the WSU program the past few years along with the upcoming game brings optimism, Hoffman said. “We just want to do our best, and hopefully it will lead to something more,� he said. “Who knows when somebody will start having a change of heart.�

Nearly a dozen other Jayhawk fans at the same tavern as Thurber were polled, and almost all of them expressed reservations about meeting the Shockers in the regular season, where a victory over a smaller program like WSU would not influence KU’s national ranking — or its appeal to blue-chip recruits — as much as a loss. “(KU is) afraid of them,� said Debra Brodbeck, a 61-year-old Wichita State alum who also calls herself a Jayhawk fan. “Wichita has nothing to lose and everything to gain,� said Randy Ortiz, a 59-year-old KU fan. He said Wichita State will have to join the Big 12 or another one of the Power Five conferences for things to change.

In 2013, state senator Michael O’Donnell, R-Wichita, proposed legislation that would force KU and Kansas State to play Wichita. The bill went nowhere, but O’Donnell believes that a WSU win on Sunday could increase the odds of a future regular season match-up. “I think the drumbeat would grow louder and louder that there should be a game, that we’d be a worthy opponent,� he said.

That scenario isn’t unheard of. Wichita State defeated Kansas 66-65 in the 1981 NCAA Tournament, their first meeting in 33 years. And three years after that game, they began a string of regular season contests that lasted until 1993.

But Jim Marchiony, an associate athletic director at KU, couldn’t see a scenario where KU would be persuaded otherwise. “No, KU will continue to construct its schedule to suit KU’s interests,�

City to weigh creating pedestrian/bike task force BOTTOM LINE Lawrence city commissioners will consider creating a new pedestrian/bicycle issues task force. As proposed by staff, the task force could look at several issues including how to promote the creation of more bike lanes in the community, how to better maintain sidewalks in the city and how to give an appropriate voice to pedestrian and bicycle issues in the community. Commissioners tabled the idea of a pedestrian task force at the Feb. 24 meeting.

he said.

Despite all of that, fans for both teams are happy today’s game is happening, with many of them saying they like both teams anyway and it will be good for basketball.

Marion Taylor, a 94-year-old resident of Wichita, said she is a diehard fan of both teams and that she “just cannot choose between the two.�

Hoffman said that for the Shockers, he sees the game as a double-edged sword. “You want to win, but if you don’t win you at least want to put up a good, competitive fight just to show you belong,� he said. “The worst-case scenario is you go in and you get embarrassed and everybody says you don’t belong.�

Four of six Kansas fans — after leaning back in their chairs and thinking about it for several seconds — said they would still root for Wichita State even if the Shockers ended the Jayhawks’ season. “We like to see the family do well,� said Monica Thurber, 53.

Public interest Public notice bills being considered in the Kansas Legislature aren’t in the public interest.

A

t a time when the need for transparency at all levels of government has never been greater, a few Kansas legislators are working instead to cloud the picture.

Rep. Virgil Peck, R-Tyro, has introduced bills that would let local governments publish public notices on the Internet instead of in local newspapers. The first, House Bill 2237, would let local governments start publishing on the Internet immediately. The second, House Bill 2412, would limit newspaper publication to one time and eliminate public notice advertising in newspapers by 2018.

Neither bill is in the public’s best interest.

Full disclosure: The Lawrence JournalWorld, like most newspapers in the state, receives public notice advertising. It has been that way for more than a century because Kansas lawmakers long ago realized that newspapers were the best way to make the general public aware of government activity from meeting notices to construction bids to proposed budgets.

Advocates of the legislation argue free publication on the Internet will save local governments money. Saline County officials, including Rep. J.R. Claeys, said during a hearing Monday that the proposed public notice legislation could save the county and the city of Salina $150,000 per year. What they didn’t say is that’s less than one half of one percent of their combined budgets.

If Peck’s legislation passes, governments would have free rein to publish public notices on obscure websites with no other announcement to the public.

Local governments would, in effect, be in charge of policing their own compliance with public notice law. Who would ensure that notices are posted in a timely manner and that notices are not altered post-publication? How would members of the public who do not access the Internet — still a sizable segment of the population — gain access to the notices?

Internet-only publication is an invitation for secrecy. It opens the door to waste, fraud and abuse. By contrast, requiring public notices in newspapers creates a permanent record of government activity, provides valuable oversight of government notices by a traditional government watchdog and ensures everyone has access to read such notices.

Any modifications to existing public notice law should enhance access to government information and ensure greater government transparency. The bills introduced this session do the opposite and should not become law.

U.S., Israel facing turbulent times Washington — It’s March Madness in the Middle East: The U.S. and Israel are trading private barbs and public reassurances after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s defiant re-election victory, just as the U.S. is nearing a nuclear deal with Israel’s chief adversary, Iran.

It’s a volatile situation, with the Obama administration signaling its opposition to Netanyahu’s campaign statements rejecting a Palestinian state. This will be a political collision as well as a diplo-

“

The Iran negotiations nearing a climax in Switzerland could spike the fever in U.S.-Israeli relations even higher.”

matic one, after the GOP’s raucous cheers that greeted Netanyahu’s speech to Congress March 3 blasting President Obama’s Iran policy.

An early signal of Obama’s displeasure came Wednesday, when White House press secretary Josh Earnest criticized Netanyahu’s electionday warning to Israeli voters about high Arab turnout.

“Rhetoric that seeks to marginalize one segment of their population is deeply concerning and it is divisive,” Earnest volunteered, unbidden by any reporter’s question.

Netanyahu backed off his election rhetoric, telling NBC’s Andrea Mitchell Thursday he wanted “a sustainable, peaceful two-state solution” if “circumstances … change.” As he spoke, Israelis were aware that the White House was considering a range of possible ac-

tions to demonstrate its anger. After the conciliatory interview was broadcast, the White House disclosed that Obama had called Netanyahu to congratulate him on his victory.

The soothing public words came on a day when the White House was privately weighing a roster of pressure tactics, including: l Drafting a new U.N. Security Council resolution outlining the framework for a Palestinian state. Such a resolution might summarize the parameters that emerged during Secretary of State John Kerry’s negotiations with Israelis and Palestinians that collapsed last year. l Deterring Netanyahu’s plans to expand settlements in the West Bank, perhaps through warnings in a planned report to Congress on loan guarantees to Israel. l Altering current U.S. policy that opposes Palestinian efforts to take complaints against Israel to the International Criminal Court. Similarly, the U.S. might relax its pressure against European allies that are advocating sanctions against Israel. l Weighing future vetoes of U.N. Security Council resolutions condemning Israeli settlements or other activity. In the past, U.S. use

of the veto to support Israeli positions has been all but automatic.

Adoption of any of these measures would open a wide and potentially destabilizing breach between the two allies, and the administration’s consideration of them now is probably partly tactical. Officials want to nudge Netanyahu toward more moderate positions as he seeks to form a new governing coalition — and get him to continue backing away from the hard-line statements he made during the fervor of the campaign.

Netanyahu’s comments to Mitchell tried to defuse the post-election tension. But it’s not clear this is as explicit a repudiation as the White House wants.

The Iran negotiations nearing a climax in Switzerland could spike the fever in U.S.-Israeli relations even higher. But here, the Israelis have recently hinted privately that they could live with a deal, even one that allows Iran to enrich some uranium, so long as it has tough provisions to cap Iran’s nuclear program and verify compliance. Netanyahu has also floated the idea that Iran’s nuclear capability should be constrained until it halts terrorism, stops

Standing up to cyber bullies Dear Ashley Judd: I guess this is a fan letter, though it is not written in praise of your work in movies like “Insurgent,” “Divergent” or “Tooth Fairy.” Rather, it’s in response to the headlines you made last week when you called out Internet trolls who defamed you as a “b---h,” a “whore,” and a “c---” and threatened you with rape after you tweeted an opinion about an SEC basketball tournament.

Specifically, you accused the University of Arkansas Razorbacks of playing dirty against your University of Kentucky Wildcats and suggested they kiss your team’s backside.

Not particularly polite, no, but not out of bounds, either.

Male fans shout and tweet much worse about pretty much every sporting contest down to and including church league bowling. Indeed, male sports fans are the reason foam bricks were invented.

Yet we are allowed to scream for the home team without being called vile names, much less threatened. So I was glad to see you use your Twitter account and media access to highlight this misogyny — and your intention to press charges.

I have to tell you, Ms. Judd, this hits close to home. Three times in the last year or so, I’ve had the difficult experience of learning that female colleagues had been threatened with rape because of something they wrote. I had not realized such things happened.

I mean, you get used to being called names when you write opinions for a living. It’s a rare day when I have not had my parentage, intelligence or cleanliness coarsely questioned a dozen times before lunch by

some preliterate gasbag on the political right. But there is, it seems to me, a qualitative difference between that, unpleasant as it is, and the experience of being a woman on the receiving end of gender-specific insults and promises of sexual violence.

Women, in the aggregate, are smaller and physically weaker than men. I’ve always suspected that that comes with a sense of perpetual vulnerability, of constantly sniffing the air for potential danger, that men, being men, find difficult to appreciate. The threat of violence is harder for women to shrug off simply because, even on a good day, they feel so much more exposed to it.

As a human being — and specifically, as a man — I am appalled by what some sexually insecure troglodytes of my gender said to you over a basketball game. But this kind of thing is apparently not uncommon. Besides you and my colleagues,

we’ve seen actresses Lena Dunham and Jennifer Love Hewitt and several women makers and critics of video games report being subjected to this sort of emotional terrorism. Former baseball star Curt Schilling recently got one man fired and another suspended from his job when they attacked his 17-year-old daughter online.

I’d love to see you do what he did, but take it a step further. Not simply identify the punks who made the threats, but hold a press conference on the sidewalk in front of their homes or in the lobby of their workplaces. Let them face microphones and cameras and explain themselves — to the world, and to the women in their lives. Give them an accountability moment.

Such a moment could be valuable for a generation in which technology has advanced simultaneously our ability to say and do despicable things and our ability to avoid taking responsibility for them. That’s a godawful combination. We have inadvertently built a world full of dark hidey-holes of anonymity to shelter the droppings of our primitive lizard brains — and eroded simple decency and basic humanity in the process. It is a trend that needs to end.

So I write to thank you for the stand you’ve taken and to let you know there are those of us who value women and girls and think they deserve a safe place to be amazing. Please know that I’ve got your back.

That’s something else I say as a human being — but specifically, as a man.

regional subversion and accepts Israel’s existence.

U.S. officials are preparing a post-Iran-agreement agenda for calming Arab allies, such as Saudi Arabia. But the priority should be strengthening the Sunni nations to counter Iranian meddling, rather than sweet-talking them.

If there’s ever to be a security balance in the region, the Sunni nations must become strong enough to offset Iranian power. A stable and more confident Egypt would help stiffen the Sunni backbone.

In a post-deal world, we can also expect Iranian hard-liners to show that their power in the region is unaffected. We can see harbingers in Iraq, as Gen. Qassem Suleimani from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard leads Shiite militias into battle to retake the Sunni city of Tikrit. Suleimani is pushing hard; the U.S. will need to curb his hegemony if it hopes to maintain Sunni support.

Looking at the policy challenges that converge for Obama this month, he might consider a strategy of ambiguity mastered over the years by Iran — engaging nations even as it challenges them. Conflict is not an on-off switch in the Middle East. It’s often in both positions at once.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for March 22, 1915: years “Some time about ago midnight SatIN 1915 urday night the store belonging to Abe Wolfson was burglarized and robbed. The burglar threw a rock through the plate glass window of the front of the store and reached in and got several guns. The rock was thrown with a great deal of force for it went back some distance in the store.

Several people in the neighborhood heard the crash but no one was seen when they reached the scene. Mr. Wolfson said this morning that he missed nothing from the store but the guns which were in the window.”

“This afternoon as Harley Melton was backing his automobile from the garage at the residence of his father, H. C. Melton, on south Massachusetts street, he did not notice that a street car was approaching and in backing out the automobile and the street car came together. Mr. Melton was in the car with his son and he was badly bruised but sustained no serious injury. Little damage was done to the car in the accident.”

“Miss Janet E. Finch, the teacher at Barker school, has been conducting a contest of outside work in connection with the school. The contest was for the purpose of making the children more useful in the home while they are attending school. The points on which the children were graded were: To be in bed at 9 o’clock; not eating between meals; getting up without the second call; preparing meals; taking care of own room; feeding stock; taking care of pets; personal cleanliness; and several other minor points were taken into consideration.”

Protest more than 100,000 items, from bumper stickers and posters emblazoned with the messages above, to books about extremist movements.

But perhaps its most treasured feature — researchers, curators and the man who started the collection himself say — is its breadth. The collection covers both left- and right-wing movements, well-known to obscure, tempered to highly offensive.

“If the collection stands for anything, it’s the fact that our country’s made up of a matrix of beliefs,” said Laird Wilcox, who began collecting the materials as a youth.

It also reminds of the importance of free speech, Wilcox adds.

As he sees it, extremism is basically an exaggerated response to events and the times we live in, and the beliefs it sprouts are not always reputable. Everyone’s looking for something to make sense of the world, and ideologies supply that in an oversimplified way.

“We’ve had this long tradition of freedom of speech where you can say something, but I can talk back,” Wilcox said.

“That’s a major factor in keeping our democracy stable.”

RELATED EVENT To mark the 50th anniversary of the Wilcox Collection of Contemporary Political Movements, pieces from the collection are on display at the Spencer Research Library during normal library hours, as well as online at lib. ku.edu/wilcox.

An event is planned on Wednesday, with a reception at 5:30 p.m. and presentation by KU professor emeritus of history Bill Tuttle at 6:15 p.m. The event is free, but attendees are asked to RSVP to Rachel Karwas at 864-8961 or rkarwas@ku.edu.

ographer for the Wilcox Collection. Sherry Williams, curator of collections, met Wilcox when she came to KU in 1979 and continues to work closely with the collection.

To celebrate the 50th anniversary, there’s a Wilcox Collection exhibit on view at the Spencer Research Library as well as online.

Choosing which of the thousands of items to pull out and display was hard.

“It’s a challenge because there’s so much,” she said. Then, gesturing to the handful of cases at the library, “This is just the tip of the tip of the iceberg.”

The collection’s most offensive items are not on display.

Schulte said it contains anti-Semitic and other racist material, as well as bloody and graphic animal rights and anti-abortion pieces.

Through the years she’s had student library assistants asked to be taken off tasks involving the Wilcox Collection.

“It would be so offensive that they wouldn’t want to work with it,” Schulte said. “One of the things that Sherry and I have to do is remain very objective.” l l l

pring is coming, and the kittens or puppies that you recently adopted may be thinking about making babies of their own.

Here are some very compelling reasons to spay or neuter you pet earlier rather than later: l Most female dogs and cats have their first heat cycle around 6 months, but some can start as early as four months. Regardless of age, animals in heat are likely to try to get outdoors even if they have never been outside, which can cause pets to become lost. l The chances of developing mammary cancer are significantly reduced in both dogs and cats if a spay procedure is performed prior to the first heat cycle. The chances of uterine infection, which

These include obsessive rubbing against objects, yowling as if in pain, being overly demanding for affection and constantly raising their hindquarters into the air while treading on their hind legs. These behaviors can become so bizarre that some people think their cat is sick. l Just like dogs, female can pose a sudden and lifecats in heat sometimes threatening condition in older females, is eliminat- mark objects with urine, which contains pheroed if your pet is spayed. l A female dog’s heat mones designed to attract cycle includes vaginal males.

they often start spraying urine to mark their territory. Neutering male cats early is important because this behavior can become a habit, and some cats will spray their entire lives, making it difficult to keep them indoors as pets. l Unneutered male dogs also display roaming behaviors just like male cats, and in some cases hormonal influences can result in some aggressive behaviors. Older male dogs are susceptible to prostatic hyperplasia, which can result in difficulty urinating. The only real treatment for this condition is — you guessed it — neutering.

The most important thing that you can do to help homeless animals is to spay and neuter your own pets. About 7.6 million animals enter

shelters in our country each year, and of those approximately 2.7 million are euthanized. Some of these are euthanized because of severe injury or illness, but many are euthanized simply because there are not enough homes for every animal.

This is a sad fact that you help correct by neutering or spaying your pet as early as possible. There are so many reasons to get your pet altered that is just makes sense to go ahead and do it. You can also feel great knowing that you have saved lives by reducing the number of unwanted pets in our community.

Next in Topeka: guns, abortion, state budget

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — Kansas lawmakers are about to head into the final stretch of the 2015 regular session, and Republican leaders say they are generally pleased with their progress so far.

But the next two weeks will be filled with long days of debate over issues ranging from the state budget to abortion to concealed handguns.

“I think we’re on track,” LEGISLATURE said House Majority Leader Jene Vickrey, R-Louisburg.

Vickrey said the biggest accomplishment so far was passage of the school finance bill that repeals the existing funding formula and replaces it for the next two years with a system of block grants to the state’s 286 school districts.

“The block grant bill was the most important legislation we’ve passed through here probably since I’ve been here,” said Vickrey, who was first elected in November 1992, the election immediately after the current funding system was adopted.

STORY BY MARISOL BELLO, USA TODAY

All it took was 2.5 seconds.

Two-and-a-half seconds for West Valley City, Utah, police detective Shaun Cowley to assess what he perceived as a threat, pull his 9mm Glock pistol from his holster and fire two shots.

Two-and-a-half seconds for one of the bullets to pierce a driver’s side car window and enter the left side of Danielle Willard‘s skull.

Two-and-a-half seconds to take Willard’s life.

Two-and-a-half seconds that changed Cowley’s life.

“The shooting cost me everything,” Cowley says. “You make a split-second decision about whether you go home that day and someone else does not. That’s a heavy burden.”

In the national conversation over police use of deadly force, prompted by fatal shootings of unarmed people, the impact on officers who have killed in the line of duty and the people connected to those who have died is haunting. For them, the issue goes beyond protests, social media outrage and hours of news coverage.

Cowley, born into a law enforcement family and a nine-year member of the West Valley City

“It’s been a tough few-plus years. We are still so terribly hurt and confused.”

Convinced he can ride out the slowing fortunes of America’s oil and gas industry, Shawn Kluver arrived at Thursday’s heavy equipment auction with money to spend and bets to make.

Kluver flew to Colorado from North Dakota on a one-way ticket, confident he’d find bargains to drive home.

“Everyone says we’re crazy but we’re hoping to capitalize on the downstroke,” he said, walking around the sprawling, dusty auction site here, where more than 3,000 bidders haggled over backhoes, bulldozers and the trucks he was shopping for, called hydro excavators.

Used oilfield equipment is a bargain these days. Hundreds of drilling rigs across America are being shut down by oil companies facing low petroleum prices, putting tens of thousands of roustabouts, drillers, mudders and truckers out of work and idling the equipment used to prepare the ground. But in this downturn as others, someone’s pain will someday be another’s gain.

The fall has been fast: The price of a barrel of the benchmark U.S. crude known as West Texas Intermediate closed at $43.96 on the New York Mercantile Exchange on Friday, down more than 50% from a year ago.

police force, says his instinctive reaction was to protect himself and his partner. He says he shot Willard because he thought she would run him over in her Subaru Forester. The decision led to criminal charges, uncertainty and financial ruin that left his name tarnished and his spirit weakened.

For the family of Danielle Willard, the fatal shooting left confusion, anger and profound sadness over the loss of the 21-year-old brunette with the sunny smile and jokey disposition.

Reports: U.S. commandos evacuate air base in Yemen Troops leave Al Anad as violence spreads Katharine Lackey USA TODAY

U.S. troops were evacuating a southern Yemen air base Saturday after al-Qaeda seized a nearby town amid growing violence in the war-torn nation, multiple media outlets reported.

Military forces, including commandos, were leaving the Al Anad air base near the southern city of al-Houta, the Associated Press, NBC News and CNN reported,

citing unnamed officials. About 100 U.S. troops and special operations units are stationed there.

The troops are the last American forces stationed in Yemen, CNN reported. Al-Qaeda’s Yemen branch — considered the terror organization’s most dangerous — seized al-Houta on Friday.

The evacuation comes amid growing sectarian violence in the mostly Sunni nation under assault from Shiite rebels known as the Houthis, who are the sworn enemies of the Sunni al-Qaeda terrorists.

On Saturday, the Houthis called for rebels to battle forces loyal to the nation’s president,

A boy passes a destroyed car in Sanaa, Yemen, on Saturday. Some 137 were killed and 357 wounded Friday when suicide bombers targeted two Shiite mosques in the capital.

Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, AP reported. Hadi fled to a southern port city of Aden last month after being placed under house arrest by the Houthis, but he remains the country’s internationally recognized president.

The Houthis, backed by Iran’s Shiite government, took over the capital in September. The rebels control at least nine of Yemen’s 21 provinces. They have seized parts of the U.S.-backed government, threatening a key American antiterrorism partner in the region.

The Pentagon has targeted members of al-Qaeda’s Yemen branch with drone strikes and supported Yemen’s armed forces

in their fight against the militants. The base being evacuated Saturday houses American and European military advisers, AP reported.

Diplomats from the United States and several European nations fled Yemen in February amid embassy closings that were spurred by deteriorating security conditions.

In the past week, violence in the country has only grown. On Friday, 137 were killed and 357 wounded when four suicide bombers targeted two Shiite mosques in Yemen’s capital of Sanaa, located more than 200 miles north of al-Houta.

POLICING IN AMERICA

Two lives changed in 2.5 seconds v CONTINUED FROM 1B

lissa Kennedy. “We are still so terribly hurt and confused.”

Police use of deadly force has been under a national microscope since officer Darren Wilson — who has since resigned — shot and killed unarmed black man Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., and officer Daniel Pantaleo killed unarmed black man Eric Garner with a chokehold in Staten Island, N.Y. Grand juries declined to bring charges against the white officers.

There is no complete data on the number of people killed by police every year. FBI statistics show at least 400 deadly police shootings reported annually by local police departments. The number is based on what researchers, scholars and advocates consider to be flawed and largely incomplete data based on voluntary reporting.

In Cowley’s case, race is not an issue. He is white; so was Willard.

Still, the case provides a glimpse into the chaotic moments and perceived threats that push an officer to use deadly force. It also shows the impact of such a quick decision, not just on those immediately involved but on the wider community.

On Nov. 2, 2012, Cowley, 34, had been part of the narcotics unit at the West Valley City Police Department for two years. He was one of six detectives working on heroin and meth dealing in the Salt Lake City suburb of 135,000 people.

“We were very busy,” he says.

“Drugs are so rampant. It’s just crazy.”

On this Friday, he was more than a week into surveillance of a duplex on the east side of the city where a white supremacist gang was suspected of selling heroin and guns.

The following description of that day is based on interviews with Cowley, a report by the Salt Lake County District Attorney’s Office, which investigated the case, and a judge’s written order: Cowley was in an unmarked car on one side of the house. His partner, Kevin Salmon, was in an unmarked car in the parking lot of an apartment complex across the street.

After 45 minutes of sitting and watching, Salmon radioed that a silver Subaru had pulled into the parking lot. Both detectives saw a man come out of the house, walk to the car and get in. Cowley says the man, one of the dealer suspects, was in the car for about 30 seconds, then went back inside the house.

The woman driving the car pulled out of her parking spot and parked closer to Salmon in the same lot. When she apparently noticed Salmon looking at her, she moved her car to another spot.

JEFFREY D. ALLRED, THE DESERET NEWS

Former West Valley police detective Shaun Cowley speaks with the media after his case of manslaughter was dismissed on Oct. 9.

He was fired from the force for mishandling evidence but continues in his mission to get his job back.

By this time, Cowley had parked closer to see what the woman was doing. He says he suspected the exchange was a drug sale and wanted to talk with the woman.

Cowley says he walked up to the car on the driver’s side while Salmon approached on the passenger side.

“She immediately looks up and I see her put something in her mouth,” he says. “We believed she was trying to ingest heroin.”

“Now, she’s escalated this,” he says. So he pulled his gun from the holster and pointed it at the woman.

“Get out of the car,” Cowley yelled. She ignored him, he says. Her doors were locked, her windows were up and the car was running.

Both detectives told investigators that Willard moved her hand over the gear shift and looked as if she was preparing to back up and flee. Salmon told investigators he tried to break a window in the car but couldn’t.

Less than a minute had passed. Cowley decided to go to his car for a crowbar to break the window. He says the situation was taking longer than they had anticipated. They wanted to get a handle on it before anyone in the house noticed something amiss.

Cowley says he re-holstered his gun and was walking toward his car when he heard a screech of tires.

“I see her vehicle flying at me in reverse,” he says. He couldn’t see his partner and thought she had hit Salmon.

“I think he’s dead,” he says.

“My brain is going, ‘You are going to die. She’s coming at you fast …’

All I see is the back windshield coming at me faster than anything I could imagine.”

He doesn’t remember making the decision to grab his gun. He

doesn’t remember grabbing it.

But he remembers firing it. He remembers the only sound he heard was the roar of the rounds going off and seeing one of the windows of the car shatter.

Then he passed out for what he thinks was a second, maybe two.

He came to on the ground on his stomach. A black mark stained one of his knees. His right knee throbbed in pain. He says he was hit by the car, but a later reconstruction of the incident found that was unlikely because of the direction the car was mov-

ing and where he was standing.

He watched as the driver reversed the car in a tight arc and crashed into another car.

Willard would be pronounced dead at the scene.

After the shooting, the department put Cowley and Salmon on paid administrative leave.

Cowley remained in limbo as Salt Lake District Attorney Sim Gill investigated.

In August 2013, nine months after the shooting, Gill released a report saying the shooting was not justified.

In his report, Gill disputed Cowley and Salmon’s version of the incident. He said a reconstruction showed that neither Cowley nor Salmon was in the path of the car as Willard put it in reverse. The reconstruction showed her tires were turned in a such as a way as to show that her car was not a threat to either officer, he said.

An autopsy found no drugs in Willard’s system. A small bag of heroin was found in the pocket of the driver’s door.

It would take another 10 months before Gill charged Cowley with manslaughter. Gill did not return repeated calls or emails to discuss the case.

The aftermath of the shooting reverberated through this bluecollar Mormon community.

Police investigating the shooting found sealed evidence from a previous case in the trunk of Cowley’s car, evidence he had never logged or stored properly.

That discovery created a cascade of problems that roiled the West Valley City Police Department. It led to an internal audit of the narcotics unit that found mishandling of evidence and accusations of stolen drugs and missing money.

No officers have been charged, but the findings raised questions of possible corruption and about

OIL INDUSTRY SEEKS LIFELINE

Plenty of layoffs, auctions at U.S. oilfields v CONTINUED FROM 1B

hartt pants clutched rolled-up inventory catalogs, consulting with partners and wives and bankers by phone before staking their place in the company’s auditorium where auctioneers rattled off bids before a never-ending stream of rumbling diesel engines that totaled $23 million in sales.

Ritchie Bros., which bills itself as the world’s largest auctioneer of heavy equipment, says it’s seen record-setting interest in its auctions this year, driven in part by contractors seeking bargains on oilfield equipment that can be repurposed for construction.

On the block at its Longmont auction Thursday were more than a dozen hydro excavator trucks, which use high-pressure water to clean drilling rigs and probe for buried utility lines near wells.

Many trucks came from Decatur, Texas-based H2X, which laid off 60 employees and shut down in February after oil companies stopped calling them for work,

the chain of custody for evidence.

As a result, prosecutors tossed out at least 100 drug cases filed by the unit.

The narcotics unit was disbanded. Longtime Police Chief Buzz Nielsen resigned for what he said were health reasons.

The new chief, Lee Russo, says the shooting was a “flashpoint” for the police department because it forced the 206-member force to look at its policies and culture.

Under Russo, the department fired Cowley for mishandling evidence. Russo says Cowley lost or misplaced evidence in at least four cases, including money that amounted to at least $2,000.

Cowley and his attorneys deny the chief’s claim. They say he did nothing wrong and that he was a scapegoat for problems within the narcotics unit.

The two sides are in a tense battle over Cowley’s efforts to rejoin the force.

The preliminary hearing into Cowley’s case in October 2014 lasted three days. At the end, 3rd District Judge L.A. Dever dismissed the case, saying the evidence did not show that Cowley acted recklessly when he shot Willard or that the shooting was not justified.

Willard’s family, who had been hopeful that the man who killed their daughter would be tried and convicted, were in shock.

Her parents call her shooting an assassination.

The family filed a wrongful death suit against the city, which they settled in February for $1.4 million. The city did not admit wrongdoing, and under the condition of the settlement, Kennedy says she “can’t say anything bad about the police.”

Today, Cowley works with another relative repairing medical equipment.

As he tries now to repair a life left in shambles, he lives with the burden of everything two people lost in two-and-a-half seconds.

Excavators dwarf a prospective buyer at the Ritchie Bros. auction site in Longmont, Colo., on Thursday.

said former CEO Mike Clark.

“I don’t know how much they sold for, and I don’t really want to know,” Clark said Thursday by phone from Texas. “The oil and gas companies pulled in their horns really fast. Everyone I talk to, they’re stunned at how fast everybody reacted.”

The oil and gas industry hasn’t collapsed entirely. Thousands of rigs are still boring into the earth, and many workers are still benefiting from rig jobs that can pay

about $100,000 annually, according to Rigzone.com, an industry job and news site.

But a major slowdown is well underway.

Nationally, last week’s count of active U.S. drilling rigs was down 40% from the same week a year ago, according to industry experts Baker Hughes. The number fell by 56 from the previous week, with 1,069 operating as of Friday, Baker Hughes said.

The reductions are the most

significant drop in drilling since 2008, said Tim Hess, a shortterm energy outlook analyst with the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Hess said oil companies are reducing drilling because there’s an oversupply of oil across the world, which is driving prices down.

In the U.S., many oil companies have fracked their wells, which allows them to extract oil and gas from previously unprofitable areas, helping supercharge the American oil boom. Hess said companies are finishing the wells they’re already drilling, but are only starting new ones in areas they think will be most profitable.

That will lead to production declines and potentially rising prices by this fall, he predicted.

Federal energy analysts predict “very high uncertainty” about oil prices in coming months, with December futures for West Texas Intermediate crude oil trading between $32 and $108 a barrel.

“It will come back eventually,” Kluver said. “But it will weed out a lot of people first.”

HOW MUCH DO EXECUTIVE ORDERS COST?

NO ONE KNOWS Congressman trying to spread a little sunshine hits a brick wall of red tape Gregory Korte @gregorykorte USA TODAY

WASHINGTON When President Obama issued an executive order granting civilian federal employees a 1% pay raise last December, the White House did not tell Congress how much those raises would cost.

Instead, White House Office of Management and Budget Director Shaun Donovan said in a report that the order “is not anticipated to increase discretionary obligations and outlays overall.”

To Rep. Ander Crenshaw, RFla., that statement is “ludicrous.”

As Congress and the White House battle over whether Obama has the executive authority to halt deportation, delay implementation of the Affordable Care Act or negotiate a nuclear deal with Iran, another skirmish has opened up over the question of how much Obama’s executive orders cost.

The answer: No one knows.

Crenshaw, the chairman of a House appropriations subcommittee that controls the White House budget, is trying to fix that.

He inserted a provision into the spending bill passed by Congress last year, requiring OMB to issue a statement on the budgetary impact of each executive order.

But 10 executive orders later, Congress has no more insight into their cost. OMB has declared six to have a “de minimus,” or trivial, effect on costs or revenues, and four are likely to increase spending by an unknown amount.

For example, an executive order signed Thursday ordering agencies to cut their greenhouse gas emissions by 40% contains the same boilerplate language as the pay raise. “This executive order is not anticipated to increase discretionary obligations and

BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

President Obama signs an executive order Thursday to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 40% over the next 10 years. outlays overall.”

OMB would not publicly discuss the process behind the budgetary impact statements. “The executive order budgetary impact statements issued by OMB comply with the requirements in the recent funding bill,” said OMB spokeswoman Emily Cain.

Apparently that’s not good enough for Crenshaw.

in many cases the executive order is just one of many factors driving up costs. But one line item was directly attributed to a 2013 executive order on chemical safety: a $27.8 million budget for state grants to prevent chemical spills. uThe State Department is asking Congress for $4.1 million to enhance the “insider threat monitoring” of its classified com-

“There’s no federal government agency that ought to be immune. ... We deserve the specifics.”

Rep. Ander Crenshaw, R-Fla.

“There’s no federal government agency that ought to be immune from having to explain the potential financial impact of an action they’ve taken or intend to take,” Crenshaw said. “We deserve the specifics.”

Specifics are hard to come by.

Many executive orders have impacts government-wide — requiring, for example, that federal contractors pay a minimum wage of $10.10 an hour. Those costs are built into the bids of federal contractors, but aren’t broken out.

Still, it’s clear that presidential directives influence how the executive branch spends. A USA TODAY review of budget justifications that agencies send to Congress finds at least hundreds of millions in costs to implement executive orders. For example: uThe Environmental Protection Agency mentions executive orders 110 times in its 2016 congressional budget request. Few of them have an exact price tag, and

puter networks in response to a 2011 executive order on protecting classified information. uThe Fish and Wildlife Service wants $4 million to hire 25 agents to crack down on poaching in response to a 2013 executive order on wildlife trafficking.

In all of those cases, the administration is asking Congress to codify the executive order by appropriating money to implement them. But Congress could do the opposite, blocking the executive order by refusing to appropriate money for it.

Ultimately, experts said, the effort to find out the budgetary impact of executive orders is doomed to fail because, by law, there technically isn’t any. Congress sets the budget, and the president can’t spend any money that Congress hasn’t already authorized. So at best, the president can only move around resources within existing line-items approved by Congress.

IN BRIEF 7 KIDS DIE IN N.Y. FIRE LINKED TO HOT PLATE MALFUNCTION

Seven children from an Orthodox Jewish family were killed early Saturday when a fire tore through their Brooklyn home after they had gone to bed, a tragedy that authorities believe was caused by a malfunctioning hot plate left on for the Sabbath.

The blaze took the lives of three girls and four boys — ages 5 to 16 — and left their mother and a teenage daughter in critical condition. Fire officials said the flames would have prevented the mother, who escaped out a window, from trying to rescue her children.

Fire investigators believe a hot plate left on a kitchen counter ignited the flames that raced up the stairs, trapping the children in their second-floor rear bedrooms, Fire Commissioner Daniel Nigro said.

Clean air regulations at issue in key case Richard Wolf @richardjwolf USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Clean air regulations that could save thousands of lives each year but cost billions of dollars to implement will be considered by the Supreme Court this week in a case that portends future legal battles over climate change.

The challenge to the federal government’s crackdown on mercury and other airborne pollutants is the latest in a series of environmental cases to come before the court. Its conservative majority has tread lightly thus far on President Obama’s initiatives, but a bigger showdown over ozone regulations could be yet to come.

The case being heard Wednesday focuses on regulations 15 years in the making against mercury and air toxics from coal- and oil-fired power plants. The Environmental Protection Agency says those rules will prevent premature deaths and illnesses from asthma, cancer and heart disease.

Opponents say the benefits are overstated and the costs, ultimately borne by consumers, understated.

What the high court must decide is whether the EPA followed the letter of the law — in this case, the Clean Air Act, which directed the agency to regulate electric utilities if it was deemed “appropriate and necessary.” Opponents say the word “appropriate” should have called for cost estimates, but the EPA made the decision without regard to cost.

“This is one of the most significant environmental rules in our history,” says Richard Revesz, an expert on environmental regulation at New York University School of Law. “However you look at it, there are going to be winners and losers.”

MARK WILSON, GETTY IMAGES

Focus is on rules against toxics from coal- and oil-fired power plants.

Among the potential winners if the EPA regulations are upheld are victims of heart and lung disease, as well as pregnant women and their unborn children, whose fetal brain development can be harmed by overexposure to mercury. Environmental groups such as Earthjustice say between 4,200 and 11,000 lives could be saved each year.

Losers would include coal plants, many of which are clustered in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic states, that have not improved their technology to reduce toxic emissions. Some would be forced to close, which would reduce generating capacity and raise the cost of electricity.

But if the high court overturns the regulations, says Richard Faulk, a lawyer who represents companies in tort cases on toxics, “we’re going to see EPA’s expansive and overreaching regulatory activities curtailed and restrained.”

The two sides are billions of dollars apart on those cost estimates, particularly when it comes to the potential benefits of emission limits. Opponents say they’re worth no more than $6 million annually. Advocates count as much as $90 billion in lives saved and illnesses avoided.

Those challenging the regulations include electric utilities, the coal mining industry and 22 states led by Michigan. But other industries that have invested billions of dollars installing emission controls are aligned with the government.

Whatever the justices decide — a decision is likely in June — it may not be the last environmental challenge headed their way.

Jewish way of life still thrives in Europe Young, more confident generation shapes identity Katarina Wecker and Maya Vidon Special for USA TODAY

In Cafe Elfenbein, which opened last year in a trendy Berlin neighborhood, two businessmen wearing yarmulkes — Jewish skullcaps — chat away.

The aroma of freshly brewed coffee and homemade rugelach pastry fills the shop, where a rabbi has certified that all of its food is kosher.

The hip addition to the city points to a trend obscured by rising anti-Semitism and terror attacks in France and Denmark that have alienated Jews. In central and Eastern Europe, Jewish life is thriving.

One major reason is that a young and more confident generation is shaping a new Jewish identity.

“Jewish life is flourishing in Berlin and the rest of the country,” said Jutta Wagemann, spokeswoman for the Central Council of Jews in Germany.

The Jewish community in Germany remains small, about 200,000 out of 80 million people.

It has grown significantly from its postwar population of 37,000 in 1950 because of immigration from the former Soviet Union.

The community is putting its stamp these days on the country’s cultural landscape.

Cafe Elfenbein, which opened last year in Berlin, serves kosher foods like bagels and rugelach pastry. the Jewish-Russian community.

In 2013, the School of Jewish Theology at the University of Potsdam opened to great fanfare, making the city near Berlin the nucleus of Jewish studies in Germany.

In February, more than 1,000 Jewish young people ages 11 to 19 met at the Jewrovision song-anddance contest in Cologne in a knockoff of the decades-old Eurovision song contest held across the continent. It is a talent show and gathering of youth to celebrate the Sabbath, learn about Jewish tradition and discover their own Jewish identity.

It seems surprising that Germany, responsible for the Holocaust that killed 6 million Jews during World War II, will host such a flowering of Jewish life.

Synagogues and Jewish schools have security. Jewish locations have been vandalized, and swastikas appear with unnerving

regularity.

Jews have been attacked on the streets of Berlin.

Even so, there has been no recent mass exodus to Israel because of those events, community members say.

In Eastern Europe, where antiSemitism is deeply rooted, the Jewish communities are remaking themselves, according to members of those groups.

In Poland, home to 25,000 Jews, a museum called the History of Polish Jews opened in Warsaw in October. Jewish dance and folk music have become trendy.

A few Jewish 20-somethings created the fashion brand Risk OY with Yiddish-inspired clothing in 2012. T-Shirts feature such slogans as, “Oy oy, my boy is goy.”

There is a new Jewish identity here, said Anna Tenenbaum, cofounder of Risk OY. Vidon reported from Paris.

Sting of attacks lingers for French, Danish Jews Atmosphere tense as communities grow Maya Vidon and Katharina Wecker Special for USA TODAY

PARIS Though Jewish communities across Europe have been growing and thriving, the atmosphere remains tense in France and Denmark, two nations rattled by recent deadly attacks aimed at Jewish facilities.

France has Europe’s largest Jewish population, about a halfmillion people, and has experienced rising anti-Semitism the past few years.

After January’s mass shootings at the Charlie Hebdo satirical newspaper and a kosher supermarket in Paris, many French Jews fear for their safety. A record 7,000 French Jews moved to Israel last year — double that in the previous year.

Jewish children in particular “are the victims of all sorts of attacks,” said Catherine Nicault, professor emeritus in contemporary history at the University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne in northeastern France.

“Unfortunately, the children suffer from hate and anti-Semitism in public schools, and that’s why, more and more, they take refuge in Jewish schools,” said Shlomo Katz, who teaches at a yeshiva in Paris. “The problem is that these Jewish schools are the target of anti-Semitic attacks and must be constantly under surveillance.”

About 10,000 soldiers and police have been protecting Jewish schools, synagogues and cultural centers in France since the attacks. Israeli Prime Minis-

ter Benjamin Netanyahu’s call for European Jews to move to Israel is being rebuffed by many.

“I do think very strongly that fear of anti-Semitism and terrorism is not reason enough to move to Israel,” said Tamar Shiloh, an Israeli journalist who moved to France to marry a Jewish Frenchman more than 10 years ago. “There is insecurity in Israel, too. There might be no anti-Semitism like in France, but there are other kinds of tension.”

In Denmark, the community of 6,400 Jews has been shrinking but has long felt safe, until now. The community is tense after a deadly attack in February by a gunman at a free-speech

event and on a Jewish guard killed outside a synagogue in Copenhagen. The suspect died in a shootout with police.

“The Danish population is very positive toward the Jewish community, and we received a lot of nice words” after the attack, said Finn Schwarz, former president of the Jewish Community Center in Copenhagen.

“But I think that we will see parents who are afraid to send their children to Jewish schools because of the security situation.”

He said the most religious Jews are moving to Israel, and Jews in mixed marriages “vanish into the Danish society.”

Is Mexico’s increased migration enforcement working?

Path to USA still risky for Central Americans David Agren

Special for USA TODAY SALTILLO, MEXICO

Eulio Iglesias, 50, spent eight days traveling through Mexico last year in a bid to cross into the United States before he was stopped at the Texas border and returned to his native El Salvador.

This year, the same attempted journey — an effort to get back to New York City, where he worked in hotels and restaurants for 20 years and still has children — took him twice as long.

That’s because Mexican authorities have increased immigration enforcement, forcing him to ride rickety vans and buses down back roads, bribe police to avoid being detained, and ply circuitous paths on foot to evade patrols and checkpoints.

“Everyone is out to catch you,” Iglesias said after arriving at a shelter for migrants in Saltillo, 190 miles south of Texas.

For years, Central American migrants have taken risky paths to reach the USA through Mexico.

Now, the government has stepped up security on its longneglected southern border, the

only land route to reach the U.S. from Central America.

Mexico has increased patrols in southern states and denied more migrants access to a train so dangerous it was dubbed La Bestia (The Beast) for the way it maimed victims who fell onto the tracks.

Those actions come after an international outcry over the humanitarian crisis created by tens of thousands of unaccompanied Central American children, who crossed Mexico last year to reach the USA. The Mexican government says the crackdown is driving down migration through Mexico. But critics, many of them migrant shelter operators, say the actions merely make migration less visible, not necessarily safer.

“Mexican immigration enforcement is a significant factor in the reduction of the number of unaccompanied children and families arriving at the U.S. border,” said Maureen Meyer, a senior associate for regional and security policy at the Washington Office on Latin America, a research and advocacy organization.

28% reduction in the U.S. deportation of undocumented children and families from those countries and Mexico.

Many of the migrants trying to

flee Central America hope to escape gang violence in nations such as Honduras that are considered the murder capitals of the Western hemisphere. Others want to reunite with family, who have worked low-paying jobs in the USA and supported households in their home countries with remittances.

The situation in southern Mexico raises questions about whether the increased enforcement is ebbing the flow. Shelter operators say migrants are still arriving in similar numbers to last year, but now more are falling victim to criminals because they are seeking ways to evade authorities.

Many Catholic Church-sponsored shelters recently scrapped rules limiting stays to three days because so many migrants were arriving with injuries. About 90% of those arriving at such shelters are victims of crime, said Father Alejandro Solalinde, a priest in the Isthmus of Tehuantepec.

Others are beset by unscrupulous smugglers, who started offering services to those unable to take the train, said Tomás González Castillo, a Franciscan friar operating La 72 shelter in Tabasco state. It’s also receiving a similar number of migrants compared to last year, he said.

Under Yum Brands’ YUM executive security program established by the fast-food parent’s board of directors, CEO David Novak will be required to use company aircraft (hint: it’s a lot more expensive) for personal and business travel, according to Yum’s annual proxy, filed late Friday. The company didn’t disclose specific threats to his safety but the parent of KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell came under fire in recent years after one of its Chinese suppliers was found to have sold chicken to it past its freshness date.

ON THE FRONT BURNER IT’S ALL ABOUT THE FIVES Don’t fret about technical market analysis. Turns out in the eight years ending in “5” since 1935, the S&P 500 has finished higher 100% of the time.

AUSTIN Joshua Mitchell came to SXSW this year hoping to discover an African-American venture capitalist firm willing to fund his start-up, jeniusLogic, which builds mobile applications for the music and entertainment industry.

What he found instead were some painful truths about the tech industry: Black venture capitalists are a rare species and the overall tech sector is not a very diverse place.

“There’s a big disconnect between people of color’s culture and the technology industry,” said Mitchell, who is black. “Right now, it’s a little difficult to navigate.”

Diversity in the tech sector — and its lack thereof — became a growing theme at SXSW, one of the biggest tech gatherings in the U.S. The buzz around diversity here comes after information released by companies last year confirmed the workforce at leading tech companies is vastly underrepresented by minorities.

African Americans and Hispanics make up about 5% of the staffs at Yahoo, Google and Facebook, compared with about 14% nationally, according to data released by the firms last year. Visits from Jesse Jackson to tech events like the Consumer Electronics Show and company shareholder meetings have further ramped up the conversation around diversity in the innovation economy.

SEAN FUJIWARA FOR USA TODAY

This year at SXSW, more than 100 sessions were aimed at diversity in the tech sector, including panel discussions, keynote speeches and meet-ups. That number is only slightly higher than previous years, said Hugh Forrest, head of SXSW’s interactive section. But a key difference is that the majority of those sessions were moved to the Austin Convention Center, rather than satellite venues, which allowed attendees easier access, he said.

Event organizers focus each year on bringing more diversitythemed sessions, as well as drawing a more diverse range of badge-holders, Forrest said.

Though growing each year, the sessions are still just the tip of the iceberg, he said.

“We want to have a lineup that reflects what we think should be a more diverse tech ecosystem,” he said. “We still have a long, long way to go.”

Part of the problem is a lack of a support system for minority students to encourage them to pursue computer engineering and other tech fields and help

them achieve those goals, said Hank Williams, founder and chief executive of Platform.org, a nonprofit group that helps increase the interest and participation of blacks, Latinos and women in the tech industry.

“Social capital” — or the network of mentors and professionals who help shuttle students from high school through college and onto tech careers — is greatly lacking in black and Hispanic communities, he said.

“The Silicon Valley perspective is that everyone’s here because they deserve to be here and they’ve worked hard — and that’s really bull,” said Williams, who participated in a panel last week.

“The reality is, everyone who is successful had someone who helped them get there.”

Throughout SXSW, attendees flitted in and out of panel discussions with names like, “Diversifying the Tech Workforce” and “Creating Inclusive Start-up and Tech Ecosystems.”

This year’s SXSW also seemed to have a greater number of social gatherings by Latino and black entrepreneur groups, said Laura Weidman Powers, co-founder and CEO of CODE2040, a San Francisco-based non-profit that helps blacks and Latinos enter the tech sector. The name stands for the year that minority groups are due to be the majority in the USA. “This is my fourth time at SXSW and definitely over the last few years I’ve seen a huge increase in the conversation in and around diversity at the conference,” she said.

Last week, her group announced a partnership with Google that will give minority entrepreneurs in Chicago, Austin and Durham, N.C., a one-year stipend and free office space. It’s part of a larger initiative by Google for Entrepreneurs called NextWave aimed at bringing more candidates from underrepresented communities into the tech workforce.

THE ECONOMY

Gas savings going to groceries, pay debt John Waggoner USA TODAY

Despite recent rises, gas prices are down 41% since their all-time high of $4.11 a gallon in July 2008. What are consumers doing with their gains?

Paying off debt and buying groceries, according to a survey by Allstate and The National Journal. Or keeping it in their wallets.

The price of a gallon of unleaded has fallen from its all-time high of $4.11 in July 2008 to $2.42 now, according to the American Automobile Association. On a 16gallon fill-up, that’s a savings of $27.04.

For many people, that savings makes it a bit easier to make ends meet. The February survey of 1,000 adults found that 78% had saved money at the gas pump.

Thirty-one percent are using their savings for basic necessities, and 27% are using the extra money to pay off debt or avoid going further into debt.

LUKE SHARRETT, BLOOMBERG

James Delarosa takes inventory at Publix Super Markets in Knoxville, Tenn. Drivers are pumping gas savings into food tab.

“This is not what the textbooks tell us would happen,” says Ken Goldstein, economist at The Conference Board. “At least to date, we’ve seen a rise in confidence, an increase in saving and a decrease in spending.”

Lower gas prices have the biggest effect on those in lower income brackets. “Lower-income

people are going to spend their gas savings because they have to,” says Alec Levenson, professor of economics at the University of Southern California. “Those who are spending on necessities are not making ends meet now.”

And the Great Recession left a deep scar on debt-laden consumers. “People relied far too much

on debt before the recession.”

Levenson says. After being stretched too far, many have tried to pay down debt aggressively.

Many of those surveyed were worried about wages and the cost of necessities. Just 28% said the employment situation was good to excellent, 77% said that wages were fair to poor and 79% said the cost of necessities was fair to poor.

Only 25% rated the economy as “excellent” or “good.” Nevertheless, 32% said that lower gas prices had made a “huge” or “significant” difference in their lives.

Consumers seem to be treating the drop in gas prices as temporary, Levenson says. “It’s more like a bonus than a raise,” he says.

And they’re probably confused that all their energy costs didn’t go down at the same time, as they normally do. “Gas prices were down this winter, but electricity prices were up,” Goldstein says.

But don’t expect a boost in consumer spending until gas stays low for longer, he warns.

RETIREMENT

TUITION VS. RETIREMENT

Resist the urge to put kids first Charisse Jones USA TODAY

Parents are sacrificing financial security in their golden years to help pay the tuition tab for their children, according to a new T. Rowe Price survey.

Rather than have their children take out loans, 53% of the parents polled said they’d prefer to tap their retirement savings.

Meanwhile, 49% said they’d be willing to retire later so they could pay their children’s tuition.

That inclination is not unexpected, says Judith Ward, vice president of T. Rowe Price Investment services. But it may be foolhardy.

“We always want to do what’s best for our kids. But in this day and age where we’re probably going to be more responsible for our own retirement,” Ward says, “they really need to be taking care of themselves.”

It’s a different stance than the one taken by older generations, possibly because college wasn’t as costly and pensions were more prevalent. But nowadays, with pensions disappearing and people living longer, saving for retirement is critical.

The T. Rowe Price survey questioned 2,000 parents in December. Among those polled, 51% said they’d be willing to get a second job or work part time to cover tuition. And 52% said they’d be willing to assume $25,000 or more in debt. The number who said they “would borrow whatever it takes” totaled 9%.

How Millennials can get jump-start It’s not easy being a working Millennial or Generation Xer these days. You’ve got student and maybe credit card debt to pay down.

Robert Powell Plus, you likely have to set Special for USA TODAY aside money for an emergency fund, maybe an engagement ring and a down payment on a car and house. You’re also being told to start saving and investing for retirement — even if it’s 40 or more years away. And, oh yes, you also have a life to live with whatever discretionary income you have left over after completing all those financial-planning tasks. So what’s a Millennial or GenXer to do? What’s the best way to manage all your short- and long-term financial goals? Should you tackle them one at a time — debt first, then retirement — or all at once? And how should you invest for retirement?

CREATE A BALANCE SHEET

Step One, says Derek Lawson, financial planner at Sonas Financial Group in Kansas City, who specializes in Gen Y clients, is to take inventory of everything you own: checking accounts, savings accounts, investment accounts, CDs and IRAs. Those are your assets. Then do the same for what you owe: student loans, Parent PLUS loans if you plan to help your folks pay down that debt, credit card debt and car loans.

Those are your liabilities. Do this, too, for your significant other.

This cataloging of assets and liabilities will reveal your net worth: How much you are worth after subtracting your liabilities from your assets. Get in the habit of updating your net worth statement every year and comparing your year-over-year progress in growing your net worth.

MAKE A SPENDING PLAN

Next, create a budget. You’ll need to track your monthly income

cause of their own challenges repaying college-related debt.

Among those who relied on student loans for their own educations, 44% said paying them off had affected their ability to put aside money for retirement.

But “our counter to that is ... you should be saving for college, if you can, upfront,” Ward says.

A 529 account is a good way to save. Contributions may qualify for a state tax deduction, and when money is withdrawn for college expenses, including room and board, it is considered taxfree income.

And don’t worry that 529 savings will make it more difficult to get financial aid. “It will count as part of your assets, but it barely factors into the financial aid formula,” Ward says.

Many people focus more on college expenses than retirement because it seems more immediate, says Christopher Zand, a principal with the wealth management firm of Brouwer & Janachowski in Tiburon, Calif.

“I’ve found once you pass that 45 or 50 age mark, the retirement piece comes more and more front

and expenses, including a category for retirement savings. Lawson suggests using a three-bucket approach to spending, where one is for past and committed expenses, such as student loans; one is for savings, such as retirement; and the third is current expenses: food, rent and the like. You Need a Budget is Lawson’s favorite budgeting app.

How important is this? “They need to set priorities,” says George Papadopoulos, a certified financial planner in Novi, Mich.

“With substantial income coming in for the first time in their lives, they need to set themselves up in building a great foundation to eventually becoming financially independent.”

PAY DOWN DEBT

For his part, Joe Pitzl, managing partner of Pitzl Financial in Arden Hills, Minn., says paying down debt is a form of saving.

“Any way you plan for it, retirement needs are still a function of

use public transportation.

“Millennials can save a lot by simply extending into their early working years the lifestyle they had as a student, a time when many of them were certainly enjoying life,” says Erik Carter, a senior resident financial planner with Financial Finesse, a financial education company based in El Segundo, Calif.

STRIKE A BALANCE

When it comes to living for today vs. saving for tomorrow, Millennials must find a balance. “How much they want to save for the future vs. enjoying life now is a personal decision,” he says. “The important thing is that they’re aware of the risks and forgone opportunities of not saving more now so they’re making a conscious, educated decision. There is no one right answer for everyone. It largely depends on their personal situation and priorities.”

SAVE ENOUGH TO GET THE FULL COMPANY MATCH

being able to generate enough cash flow to meet spending needs,” says Pitzl. “If debts are high, you have to generate more cash flow, which requires more assets. If you minimize your spending commitments, you need less to make it work. For those tight on cash flow, reducing debt ought to be the priority.”

LOOK FOR WAYS TO REDUCE SPENDING COMMITMENTS

Young workers should also look for ways to cut costs as one way to free up income to put toward debt and retirement. Live at home with your parents, continue living with roommates or

No matter what, however, do contribute to an employer-sponsored retirement plan, such as a 401(k), if your company offers a match. “It’s free money,” says Lawson. “Contribute whatever percentage of your salary is necessary to get the full employer.”

Company matches vary, but companies typically contribute 50 cents for every $1 you save in your 401(k) up to 6%.

CONTRIBUTE TO A ROTH IRA OR ROTH 401(K)

If you don’t have an employersponsored retirement plan, or if your employer doesn’t offer a match, open a Roth IRA with a firm that offers low-cost investments, says Lawson.

A Roth IRA offers several advantages over a traditional IRA for young workers. “One way to hit the proverbial two birds with one stone is to contribute to a Roth IRA,” Carter says. “Since the contributions can be withdrawn tax- and penalty-free anytime and for any purpose, it can be part of an emergency fund.”

Plus, Roth IRAs can be used for education expenses and up to $10,000 for a home purchase under certain circumstances. “The key is to keep the Roth IRA in

and center,” he says. “Once we walk them through the value of not having to be a burden on their children from a financial perspective, they quickly come around to seeing how valuable that is, and securing their future really becomes first priority.”

Families should take heart that there are ways to cut college costs. For instance, parents could consider offering children a tuition “down payment,” as opposed to trying to foot the whole bill. And young people don’t have to go to the most expensive institutions to get a quality education.

Comparison shop, Ward recommends.

“It used to be taboo to talk about your kids going to community college,” Ward said. “I don’t think it is anymore.”

cash until they have enough emergency savings somewhere else,” says Carter. “At that point, the Roth IRA can be invested more aggressively for retirement.”

TAP INTO THE POWER OF COMPOUNDING

Never forget what Albert Einstein had to say on the subject: “Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it ... he who doesn’t ... pays it.” According to Ted Jenkin, the co-CEO and founder of oXYGen Financial in Alpharetta, Ga., a 22-year-old who puts away $2,000 a year until they are 30 years old will have a larger nest egg than a 30-yearold who puts away $2,000 a year until they are age 65. “The time value of money has not changed because we have changed a generation,” says Jenkin.

SAVE 50% OF EVERY RAISE

Instead of just saving 10% of your salary, think about saving that plus 50% of any and all salary increases you get along the way, says Lawson. “This method could end up helping many people save a lot of money for their retirement while also letting them spend, too,” says Lawson.

ALLOCATE INVESTMENTS BASED ON CAREER PATH

Consider your career and your salary before deciding what to invest. “The standard approach is that investors with a longer time horizon have more capacity to take more risk,” says Carter.

“That’s partly factoring in the value of their lifetime human capital approximating a bond, unless they’re in a high-risk, high-reward occupation such as an entrepreneur, and partly because they have more time to recover from investment losses.”

KEEP IT SIMPLE

A target-retirement year mutual fund invests in a mix of stock and bond funds that becomes more conservative over time. For Millennials, “it’s simple and they don’t have to rebalance it,” says Papadopoulos. “ ‘Set-it-and-forget it’ is a good policy to follow.”

Omaha, Neb. — Accomplished Wichita State basketball coach Gregg Marshall tried to assume the role coaches enjoy during the buildup to monster games such as the one his Shockers play today against Kansas University.

It didn’t quite fit this time.

His Shockers are too good, too experienced, too tournament-tested to be viewed as much of an underdog against a Kansas team that late in the season lost its starting center, freshman Cliff Alexander, to ineligibility, and has its fingers crossed that superstar junior forward Perry Ellis, playing with a knee brace, can deliver his best performance since returning from a sprained right knee.

Still, Marshall tried.

Told that KU coach Bill

Self said he had made a mistake in not recruiting Shockers star junior Ron Baker, Marshall responded, “I’m just glad he did. I’m particularly glad he didn’t recruit Ron Baker. He’s got plenty of good players. I’m not sure if I made a mistake in not recruiting his guys, because I don’t think I could have gotten them anyway.”

Not so fast.

WSU guard Baker calm in face of hyped matchup

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Omaha, Neb. — During the past three seasons, Wichita State guard Ron Baker has demonstrated on dozens of occasions the unflappable demeanor that has made him one of the toughest players in college basketball.

Hustle play after hustle play. Tough rebounds in

traffic. Deep three-pointers and clutch free throws to ice games. All are a part of Baker’s bag of tricks, and each served the Shockers well during a run to the Final Four in 2013, an undefeated regular season and No. 1 seed in 2014 and along the collision course toward a matchup with mighty Kansas University at 4:15 p.m. today in the third round of the NCAA Tournament.

However, on Saturday afternoon, just after 3 p.m. inside CenturyLink Center, Baker’s poise was put to the ultimate test when WSU teammate Tekele Cotton grabbed a microphone from a television reporter and proceeded to interview his teammate.

BRIEFLY Obama in stands to see Princeton win College Park, Md. — President Barack Obama was at the University of Maryland’s Xfinity Center on Saturday morning to watch Princeton play its opening game in the NCAA women’s basketball tournament.

Obama’s niece, Leslie Robinson, is a reserve forward for the undefeated Tigers, and first lady Michelle Obama is a Princeton alum.

The president, wearing a reserved brown sweater in a sea of Princeton Orange, took in the game with his brother-in-law, former Oregon State basketball coach Craig Robinson and his daughter Malia.

Princeton (31-0) beat Green Bay 80-70 to advance to a second-round matchup against No. 1 seed Maryland, a 75-57 winner over New Mexico State.

Obama caused a small stir among the Maryland faithful earlier in the week when he picked Princeton to beat the Terps in the second round.

Michelle Obama, who attended one of Robinson’s games earlier in the season, was in Tokyo at the end of the week and not in the stands Saturday.

Eagles’ 60-minute man Chuck Bednarik dies at 89

Philadelphia (ap) — Chuck Bednarik, a Pro Football Hall of Famer and one of the last great two-way NFL players, died early Saturday. He was 89.

Known as “Concrete Charlie,” Bednarik epitomized the tough-guy linebacker and also was an outstanding center for the Eagles from 1949 to 1962.

He is best remembered for a game-saving tackle at the nineyard line on the final play of the 1960 title game, and it was typical Bednarik. He threw Green Bay running back Jim Taylor to the ground and refused to let him up while the final seconds ticked off as the Eagles held on for a 17-13 win.

“Everybody reminds me of it and I’m happy they remind me of it,” Bednarik once said. “I’m proud and delighted to have played in that game.”

He died at an assisted living facility in Richland, Pennsylvania, following a brief illness, the Eagles said in a statement.

Two of his daughters said Bednarik had dementia, an affliction common in former proTENNIS fessional football players.

CHUCK BEDNARIK, WHO PLAYED CENTER AND LINEBACKER for the Philadelphia Eagles, died Saturday.

Bednarik, a Pro Football Hall of Famer and one of the last great two-way NFL players, was 89.

“I certainly think it played a big role in it — he took a lot of blows and they certainly didn’t have the safety equipment they have now back then,” McWilliams told The Express-Times.

“It seemed like quite a few of the guys he played with and against had it.”

Bednarik, who frequently criticized modern athletes, said he played on all but two kickoffs against the Packers and could have kept playing if he needed to, unlike today’s players who “suck air after five

plays.” He missed only three games in his 14-year career.

The tackle on Taylor actually was the second hit that season that drew headlines.

Earlier in 1960, he knocked out New York Giants running back Frank Gifford with a blow so hard that Gifford suffered a concussion and didn’t play again until 1962.

An iconic photograph captured Bednarik pumping his fist over Gifford’s prone body, though the linebacker insisted he wasn’t gloating. He said he didn’t notice what happened to Gifford after the hit and only saw that he had fumbled and another Eagle recovered the ball.

Bednarik was the last NFL starter to play regularly on both offense and defense until Deion Sanders did so for Dallas in 1996. Sanders’ achievement hardly impressed Bednarik.

“The positions I played, every play, I was making contact, not like that ... Deion Sanders,” Bednarik said. “He couldn’t tackle my wife. He’s back there dancing out there instead of hitting.”

Born May 1, 1925, in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Bednarik flew 30 combat missions over Germany as a gunner during World War II. He then played center for Penn from 1945 to 1948, and was selected first overall in the 1949 NFL draft by the Eagles.

N.C. State is back in the Sweet 16, attacking one of the top teams in the nation for 40 minutes and stunning Villanova on Saturday night. The Wolfpack went wild as the final horn sounded and danced around the court in celebration.

No, it wasn’t quite Jim Valvano’s mad dash after the Wolfpack won the 1983 national championship. But the Wolfpack (22-13) have designs on their own big March run. They will move on to Syracuse, New York, to play the winner of the Louisville-Northern Iowa game.

N.C. State guards Cat Barber and Desmond Lee shared a long embrace after the buzzer. Barber pounded his chest and said, “All heart!”

Trevor Lacey led them with 17 points, and Barber had 13, each coming with big buckets to hold off a late Villanova charge.

“We came out today with the feeling that everybody expected us to lose to a one seed but we believe in ourselves and that we’re good enough to beat anybody in the country and we went down and did it,” said BeeJay Anya, who scored the game winner in the opener against LSU. The Wildcats (33-3) saw a 16-game winning streak end.

The Wildcats came up empty after storming their way to pair of Big East titles and a 41-point victory in the NCAA Tournament opener.

“I know we have to answer to the fact that we did not get to the second weekend again,” coach Jay Wright said. “We have to own that. But it’s not going to define us within our program. It’s going to define us outside of our program, and we accept that.”

Dylan Ennis was nearly inconsolable, his arms crossed over his head in disbelief. Ennis missed a three-pointer after an N.C. State turnover with 20 seconds left that would have put the Wildcats ahead.

Darrun Hilliard scored 27 points and gamely rallied the Wildcats in the final minutes. He hit threepointers that brought them to within four, within two with 41.1 seconds left and 69-68 with 1.2 seconds left.

Ralston Turner sealed the win with free throws and N.C. State was back in the Sweet 16 for only the third time since 1989 (2012, 2005). They hadn’t defeated a top seed since that memorable night in 1983 when they upset Houston.

Malik-Adbul Abu had 13 points, 12 rebounds and absolutely destroyed the Wildcats inside.

Yet for the all the Wolfpack did right to keep the ’Cats on their heels, they never went on that decisive run that would have ended a comeback threat.

VILLANOVA’S JAYVAUGHN PINKSTON, RIGHT, SHOOTS over North Carolina State’s Beejay Anya. Villanova won, 71-68, on Saturday in Pittsburgh.

South Regional No. 11 UCLA 92, No. 14 UAB 75 Louisville, Ky. — Tony Parker led five Bruins in double figures with a career-high 28 points and grabbed 12 rebounds as UCLA beat UAB to advance to its second straight Sweet 16.

The Bruins (22-13), the team many thought shouldn’t have even been in the field of 68, have won six of their last seven games in earning their first consecutive Sweet 16 berths since reaching the Final Four three straight seasons between 2006 and 2008.

UCLA improved No. 11 seeds to a perfect 5-0 against 14 seeds in the NCAA Tournament, and the Bruins didn’t need any questionable calls to win the program’s second game as a double-digit seed.

This time, they just dominated inside and shot the ball as well as they have all season.

Kevon Looney had 10 points and 11 rebounds for UCLA. Bryce Alford had 22 points, Norman Powell 15 and Isaac Hamilton 13.

The Blazers (20-16) missed out on their first regional semifinal since 2004 coming off their big upset of No. 3 seed Iowa State on Thursday. Robert Brown led the Blazers with 25 points, and William Lee added 10.

With Parker inside, UCLA outrebounded UAB 41-26 and had an even bigger scoring edge in the paint at 52-22.

These teams came out shooting, and the Blazers didn’t back off looking for a second straight upset.

They shot 50 percent in the first half and hit six of 10 three-pointers and grabbed their biggest lead at 21-15 on a three-pointer

by Lee. Then the Bruins showed just how well a team can knock down shots, reeling off a 13-2 run to take back the lead.

At one point, UCLA connected on eight straight shots helped by Parker dunking and scoring in close. They took a 46-37 lead after Alford finally hit his first three with 17 seconds left. The Bruins came out of the locker room scoring eight of the first 11 points.

UAB COACH JEROD HAASE, A FORMER Kansas University standout, instructs his team during the Blazers’ 92-75 loss to UCLA on Saturday in Louisville, Kentucky.

No. 2 Arizona 73, No. 10 Ohio St. 58 Portland, Ore. — Gabe York made five three-pointers and finished with 19 points, T.J. McConnell also scored 19 points, and Arizona advanced to the Sweet 16 for the third straight year.

The Wildcats (33-3) overcame a sluggish start until their outside shooting busted the Buckeyes’ zone defense, which they rarely used during the regular season but broke out for the NCAA Tournament. The Pac-12 champions went ahead by 15 points with 6:34 remaining and held off Ohio State (24-11) in the closing minutes.

The Buckeyes gave the Wildcats all they could handle, even with standout freshman and likely NBA lottery pick D’Angelo Russell struggling with his shot. Russell scored nine points and made just three of 19 shots after going for 28 points in Ohio State’s overtime win over VCU. OHIO ST.

The Musketeers (23-13) advanced to the Sweet 16 for the third time in six years under coach Chris Mack. They’ll face Arizona in the West Regional semifinals.

Georgia State (25-10), whose injured coach Ron Hunter worked the sideline in a rolling chair, upset No. 3 seed Baylor on Thursday. Hunter, who tore his Achilles tendon celebrating his team winning the Sun Belt Conference title, and his son and star player, RJ, became the darlings of the tournament.

No. 4 North Carolina 87, No. 5 Arkansas 78 Jacksonville, Fla. — Marcus Paige scored 22 points, including 20 in the second half, and North Carolina beat Arkansas and advanced to the Sweet 16 for the first time in three years.

Paige missed seven of eight shots in the first half, including all three from three-point range, and was pretty much a non-factor as the Tar Heels let the Razorbacks keep things close.

But the junior guard took over in the second half, scoring 13 of his team’s 17 points during a five-minute stretch that helped North Carolina build a double-digit lead.

The Tar Heels held on from there, thanks partly to Paige closing things out from the free-throw line and with his ballhandling skills.

UNC advanced to play either No. 1 seed Wisconsin or eighth-seeded Oregon in the West Regional next week in Los Angeles.

It will be Carolina’s 26th appearance in the Sweet 16.

KANSAS VS. WICHITA STATE

L awrence J ournal -W orld

KANSAS UNIVERSITY’S BRANNEN GREENE, LEFT, AND FRANK MASON III VISIT WITH REPORTERS in the Jayhawks’ locker room Saturday at the CenturyLink Center in Omaha, Nebraska.

is the game the fans want to see. This is the game they are going to get,” Oubre said. “It’s going to be a great game. They are a great team.

“Playing Kansas basketball is the most important thing. We’re focusing on trying to get this win and move on. We want to make a deep run at this thing.”

The No. 2-seeded Jayhawks, who lead the alltime series between the teams, 12-2, pounded No. 7-seed WSU in the last meeting, 103-54, on Jan. 6, 1993, in Allen Fieldhouse.

That was a different era — one in which the Shockers were a bit down on their luck. Things have changed at WSU the past few seasons.

Wichita State went 30-9 and reached the Final Four in 2013 and followed that with a 35-1 campaign last season, the only loss coming to Kentucky in the third round.

WSU is 29-4 this season — 17-1 in the Missouri Valley Conference.

“I’m not a hater or anything,” KU junior Jamari Traylor said, asked about the fact WSU reached the Final Four the same year KU lost in the Sweet 16. “It wasn’t like I was mad because it was them and not us. We did what we did. We had to grow with it, and that’s what we did. We’re looking to this year, getting ready to play these guys.”

Traylor has paid attention to WSU’s feats.

“They’ve been making some great runs. I’ve been following them a lot,” the Chicago forward said. “They’ve got a great team, a great coach

a line of questions that clearly involved some kind of inside joke between the two. With other Shockers rolling in laughter in the background, Baker didn’t blink. He answered the questions just as he had when talking about the Jayhawks’ guards, KU coach Bill Self or today’s match-up.

It’s that kind of focus that has allowed Baker to remain calm in the face of such an extremely hyped matchup, even as the anticipation of those around him spins out of control.

“Every contact in my phone is letting me know that this is the biggest game in their lives,” Baker said. “And I’m like, ‘Hey, I’m the one playing

KANSAS COACH BILL SELF TALKS about Wichita State.

(Gregg Marshall). It’ll be a great task to beat those guys. We know it won’t be anything easy.”

Traylor worked a camp last summer with WSU starters Ron Baker, Fred VanVleet and Tekele Cotton.

“I follow Ron on Twitter, maybe I know him a little more than anybody else,” Traylor said.

“All those guys ...we got to hang out a little bit.

They were cool. Fred was down-to-earth. Ron was cool. Cotton was cool.”

Baker, a 6-foot-4 junior, averages 15.0 points a game, while VanVleet, a 6-foot junior, averages 13.1 ppg, and Cotton, a 6-3 senior, contributes 9.6 ppg.

“I feel this will mean a lot to us, a lot to the fans.

We’ve got to compete, play hard and make sure we come out with the win,” Traylor said. “We can’t let this game mean more to anybody than us.

We’ve got to want it just as bad as anybody else.”

KU junior Perry Ellis of Wichita was asked over and over Saturday if this game meant more to him than any other in his career, simply because it was against his hometown school.

He would not go that far.

“It’s a big game in the tournament. We’re out here trying to compete and win,” he said.

in the game, how do you think I feel?’”

With a horde of media members surrounding him for the entire 40 minutes the Wichita State players were available to the media Saturday, Baker answered question after question about Kansas, his missed opportunity to try out for the Jayhawks, what the game means for the Sunflower State and how big of a KU fan he was as a child.

Each time, even as the questions inevitably began to be repeated, Baker answered as if he were being asked for the first time.

“My dad had set up for me to go down there (to KU) and play pick-up one weekend,” recalled Baker of his brief interaction with Kansas during his recruitment. “It was the same time WSU was recruiting me, and after we went down to Wichita

“I’ve never thought about that, man,” he added, asked if he always wanted to face the Shockers. “Whoever is on our schedule is who I’m looking forward to playing. I have no control of the schedule. I like to play anybody. Basketball is fun, just to go out and compete. I don’t overthink who we are playing. I’ve always been like that.”

Ellis, KU’s leading scorer (13.7 ppg) and rebounder (6.8 rpg), got to know several of the Shocker players in recruiting. The blue chipper had Wichita State on his list of schools throughout the recruiting process.

“They recruited me hard. They were at all the games,” he said. “I got to speak with their coaches a lot. They were all great guys. I wanted to get away from home a little bit. I thought Kansas was the perfect fit for me. It felt like home for me.”

He does have a close buddy who plays for the Shockers. Wichita Heights teammate Evan Wessel (4.1 ppg) starts for WSU. “He’s a great player, smart player,” Ellis said, noting he hangs out with Wessel in the summers but doesn’t speak to him much during the season.

“He’s a great kid.”

Wichita State guard Fred VanVleet State for a visit the whole KU idea was not even brought up on the way home.”

By now, Baker’s story is well known throughout Kansas and even across college basketball. Terrific multi-sport athlete from small-town Kansas who grew up a die-hard Jayhawks fan because of guys like Kirk Hinrich, Aaron Miles, Nick Collison and Keith Langford, stays in-

Ellis said a huge motivating factor today, maybe even more than the opponent, is the fact KU lost its second game in the tournament a year ago — to Stanford.

“The feeling we had after that game ... I feel we still feel that,” Ellis said.

“The guys who experienced that ... we want to make a huge run in this tournament.”

The man who will devise today’s game plan, coach Bill Self, said a key will be trying to contain WSU’s talented guards.

“VanVleet is a great shooter and a great layup shooter,” Self said. “I coached one guy I considered a great layup shooter, Sherron (Collins). VanVleet is the same way. He can get to the rim.

“Their guards are all terrific. They don’t beat themselves. They take care of the ball, play the game all coaches hope their teams play, do a good job of ball and body movement. It’ll be a fun game. They’ve proven they can play with anybody in the country.”

The fact the Jayhawks haven’t played the Shockers in so long makes this game one that perhaps will be remembered forever. Self was asked if it would be an “honor” to win such a contest for the ages.

“I haven’t thought of it like that. I’d say it would be an honor if we win.

If we don’t win, I don’t give a crap if anybody ever talks about it,” Self said. “I think it may be talked about with fans and things like that for a while ... the quality of play and how the game is performed is what will be talked about, if in fact it is a great game. I do think it has the potential to be that.”

state and attends the only local college that offered him a scholarship. Hard work, small-town values and tremendous amounts of pride and respect help him become one of those players dozens of college coaches leading bigger programs look back on as a guy they missed.

KU’s Bill Self is one of them.

“I would say that there’s a lot of people that made a mistake on Ron,” Self said. “And we would certainly be one of them because we were not aware of him in the way in which I wish we would have been. Obviously anybody would love to have him in their uniform.”

Even WSU coach Gregg Marshall deflected the credit for the Shockers’ good fortune in landing Baker.

He’s gotten a lot better.’ So I went and saw him, and five minutes into the game, told my father-in-law, who was with me at the time, that we were going to have to try to find a way to get him in our program.

Ellis’ knee ‘feels good’

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Omaha, Neb. — Kansas University junior forward Perry Ellis, who is still wearing a brace at practice and in games to protect his sprained right knee, had an especially strong workout Saturday.

“He’s been good in practice most every day, but today was the best day he’s had since he’s been out. I think he would be the first to tell you that. He looked like the old Perry,” KU coach Bill Self said.

Ellis missed 21⁄2 games with the injury before returning in the semifinals of the Big 12 tournament.

He has played in KU’s last three games heading into today’s 4:15 p.m., NCAA Round of 32 contest against Wichita State in CenturyLink Center.

“I thought yesterday (nine points, two rebounds in Round of 64 win over New Mexico

State) we got the ball to him a lot early on, and he was tentative. He didn’t show as much explosiveness, didn’t react to balls as well, and I think it obviously was a mental thing,” Self said.

“I think every day he gets through some of those mental barriers, and I can’t see a reason why he can’t be 100 percent tomorrow physically. Now I’ve got to make sure he’s into it mentally as what he should be, and if he does that, I expect him to play very well.”

Of his knee, Ellis said: “My leg feels good. I would say the key thing is just a mental thing.

Each day I’m getting better and better. Practice today went well. The key thing is just getting out there and just being aggressive and attacking, and I was doing that today and wasn’t thinking about it at all. The knee feels great.”

NOTES, QUOTES FROM CENTURYLINK CENTER IN OMAHA, NEB. Former Kansas University guard Conner Frankamp, who will be eligible to play at transfer destination Wichita State next season, has been spotted in downtown Omaha with his parents this weekend. He’s not practicing this weekend with the Shockers or sitting on the bench during games.

His presence has led some to wonder whether Frankamp will provide information to the Shockers about the plays his former teammates run entering today’s KUWSU game.

“I don’t know. Hopefully not ... if he remembers them all,” KU junior forward Jamari Traylor said.

Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall says he hasn’t consulted with the former Jayhawk player for what a media inquisitor called “behind-thecurtain intelligence.”

“He may have talked to our assistants,” Marshall said. “I don’t know that.

I haven’t seen Conner since we’ve been in Omaha, nor have I spoken to him. So I don’t think it’s that big of a deal. I don’t know that he’s talked to my assistant coaches, maybe he has, maybe he hasn’t. It’s been awhile since he’s worn their uniform. It’s a good question.

I just don’t know the answer to it.” l

Manning reflects on matchup: KU junior guard Evan Manning played games against Wichita high schools during his years as point guard at Lawrence’s Free State High.

“We went to McPherson every year,” Manning said. “We played Perry (Ellis, Wichita Heights) a couple times, Conner Frankamp (Wichita North). We played against Evan Wessel

Svi update: KU freshman Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk, who has played sparingly as a 17-year-old freshman, said Saturday he planned to return to KU next season. It has been speculated he might return overseas to play for a club team.

Of the NCAA Tournament he said: “Trying to win a national championship with my teammates is a lot of fun.”

He said he’ll continue to be ready when called upon.

“I am shooting pretty well. I need to keep shooting same way every time and hit the open shot,” he said.

The hope here is Barnes will willingly step down and take his $1.75 million severance package into retirement. He could go kicking and screaming like Mack Brown before him, or he could stay in Austin and be celebrated during his golden years as the coach who re-energized and stabilized the program, who brought T.J.

Rivalry to be renewed?: WSU junior guard Ron Baker of Scott City was asked Saturday about the idea of playing KU and K-State on a more regular basis in the future.

“Every Kansas school would like that, I think,” Baker said. “Obviously we’re not the BCS school, and I can see how KU and K-State wouldn’t want to have a home-and-home.

It’s just kind of how the RPI and BPI and all that stuff works.

“I think it would be good for the state if we had like a Sunflower Showdown. Even if we’re not playing each other, maybe the three schools played different opponents in the same location. That way Kansas can kind of bond and watch those three games in a day. Something simple like that would be neat.”

l

KU coach Bill Self on Wichita State: “It’s one thing to have a great team.

It’s a totally another thing to have a great program, and they’ve got a great program. They’re going to be in the game every year, and I think that’s obviously a compliment to Gregg (Marshall, coach) and his staff, but also a compliment to how hard his players work.

There is obviously a culture there that will remain intact for years to come.

“They had the great run where they went to the Final Four, they followed up by going 35-1. They followed that up by going 294. That stuff doesn’t happen all the time, but if you have a run of good players, you maybe can find lightning in a bottle once or twice, but they’re going Richard Gwin/Journal-World Photo to find it year in and year KANSAS UNIVERSITY’S DEVONTÉ GRAHAM CONDUCTS A out.

Royals’ Alex Gordon getting back in the swing of things Glendale, Ariz. (ap) — The best left fielder in baseball heard the call from center fielder Jarrod Dyson and hit the brakes.

A groundball was skidding in between them in the second inning of a 6-4 Royals defeat, and pretty soon, Alex Gordon was skidding across the grass, too.

“I slipped,” Gordon said afterward with a sheepish smile. “And just tried to get out of the way as best I could.”

He clambered to his feet in time to avoid any sort of serious collision with Dyson. The pratfall was the lone moment of intrigue in Gordon’s first Cactus League game since undergoing wrist surgery over the winter.

He played five innings in the field against the White Sox and did not see one flyball hit in his direction. He took three at-bats and came away with no hits.

In their first encounter, former Royals springtraining invitee Brad Penny struck out Gordon.

Gordon flicked a liner to first baseman Adam LaRoche his next time up.

In his last at-bat, Gordon threaded a grounder

deep into the left side of the infield, but shortstop Gordon Beckham showed enough range to throw him out.

Manager Ned Yost declined to place any extra emphasis on Gordon’s debut. Yost has been steadfast in his belief Gordon will be ready for the season opener against these White Sox. “I thought it went fine,” Yost said. “He got through it. He hit the ball hard the second at-bat.

He just got back into the swing of playing.”

Gordon also found evidence of progress. He appreciated a return to the dugout, an environment he had been barred from all spring. He saw a bevy of pitches at the plate, readying himself for opening day. And he continues to rebuild strength in his wrist. No longer do whiffs cause him to wince.

“All the swings felt good,” Gordon said. “No pain, really. I think early on, when I first started getting back into action, on a lot of swing and misses, there was discomfort. But today I swung and missed a couple times. No pain. So that was good.”

Glendale, Ariz. (ap) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The White Sox expected big things of Courtney Hawkins when they chose him as the 13th overall selection in the 2012 draft out of high school in Corpus Christi, Texas.

Hawkins has had some difficult times in his short time in the Chicago organization, but has been impressive at the plate this spring. On Saturday, he connected for a pair of two-run homers, including the game-winner in the bottom of the ninth as the White Sox defeated the Kansas City Royals 6-4 at Camelback Ranch.

anybody in our camp that has had the strides or improvement that Courtney has had,â&#x20AC;? White Sox manager Robin Ventura said.

The White Sox trailed 4-0 early after Erik Kratz and Brett Eibner homered for the Royals.

Hawkinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first homer off Franklin Morales tied the game in the seventh.

In the ninth, with a man on again, Hawkins homered to dead center off Brandon Finnegan, who pitched for Kansas City in the World Series last season.

Starting time Royals: Joe Blanton pitched 42â &#x201E;3 innings, gave up six hits and a pair of walks but just one run.

He got some help from Jarrod Dyson, who threw out J.B. Shuck as he tried to go from first to third on Jose Abreuâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s single.

Blanton last appeared in the majors in 2013 with the Angels, when he went 2-14 with a 6.04 ERA. He said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a matter of â&#x20AC;&#x153;just figuring mechanics out, get timing back and string pitches together.â&#x20AC;?

Blanton, 34, is a long shot to make the team.

The defending AL champsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rotation is set. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like I threw as good as I did a couple outings ago,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Definitely room for correction in there.â&#x20AC;?

White Sox: Brad Penny pitched last season for the Marlins, but saw only 24 innings. With Chris Sale out at the beginning of the season, he might stick on the opening day roster.

The 36-year-old, who gave up three runs on five hits in four-plus innings Saturday and struck out one, knows the drill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just got to get ready,â&#x20AC;? Penny said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anytime I get the ball, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s . it could be out of the pen, who knows?â&#x20AC;?

Trainerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s room Royals: Outfielder Brett Eibner left the game in the fourth inning after fouling a ball off his left foot, then hitting into a double play and limping down the line. The Royals said he had a contusion on his foot.

White Sox: Sale said he is glad to be throwing again after Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bullpen session went well. The ace lefty suffered a broken foot in an accident at home three weeks ago, and continues to make progress on a speedy return. The next step, Sale said, is â&#x20AC;&#x153;working on getting a little bit more mobile. Ground balls, side-to-side stuff,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Topeka ENT has good news for ears, noses and throats...

Kansas University collected seven hits and eight walks but stranded 10 runners in a 6-4 baseball loss to Iowa on Saturday at Hoglund Ballpark.

Iowa (13-5) bolted to a 3-0 lead in the first and never trailed, though the Jayhawks managed a 4-all tie in the fifth before surrendering single runs in the sixth and eighth.

Radio station to air rare recording of 1957 ‘Satchmo’ performance

By Joanna Hlavacek • Twitter: @hlavacekjoanna

PLAYED

KU

K

ansas City, Mo., March 23, 1957.

On a wet, dreary spring evening, the Kansas University Jayhawks were battling the North Carolina Tar Heels for the men’s basketball national title inside Kansas City’s Municipal Auditorium. KU had a lot going for it (a home-court advantage, future basketball legend Wilt Chamberlain), and the Jayhawks were favored to win.

But they didn’t. The Jayhawks lost that night in triple overtime by just one point, 54-53.

Max Falkenstien, the legendary local radio sports announcer who spent 60 years covering KU football and basketball games, was there.

“It was one of those nailbiting, edge-of-your-seat kind of games,” Falkenstien recalls, though, “the game itself was not nearly as exciting as the hoopla that accompanied it.”

The game, which would later be described by longtime Sports Illustrated writer Frank DeFord as “the defining game of the NCAA tournament,” has since become something of a legend among KU basketball fans.

What’s sometimes lost about that exciting evening is that while KU and UNC were locked in an epic battle in Kansas City, back in Lawrence jazz trumpeter and singer Louis Armstrong, one of the most celebrated figures in American music, was there to entertain KU fans and later greet the crestfallen athletes as they rolled back into Lawrence early the next day.

Please see SATCHMO, page 3D

Louis “Satchmo” Armstrong was performing at Kansas University on March 23, 1957, for a previous engagement when Frank Burge, thendirector of the Kansas Union, convinced the legendary musician to play at a pep rally following the men’s basketball team’s loss in the national championship game earlier that night.

What lurks in the shadows? Goofy vampires

T

he New Zealandshot mockumentary comedy “What We Do in the Shadows,” now playing at Liberty Hall, is proof that vampires are alive and well (or undead and loving it) in the collective imagination.

Thanks to “Underworld,” “True Blood” and the “Twilight” series (and no thanks to “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter”), vampires have been more popular than ever during the last decade, while the stories that surround them have mostly been rote genre exercises.

There’s always exceptions of course, and the Swedish coming-of-age horror film “Let the Right One In” and its surprisingly excellent American remake “Let Me In” are two semi-recent examples of films that did something way different with the vampire myth.

The young vampire in those movies is an unglamorous, cursed being who lives in a run-down apartment and relies on an older caregiver to kill people and bring her fresh blood.

In last year’s superlative and melancholy “Only Lovers Left Alive,” director Jim Jarmusch gives us world-weary vampires burdened with the wisdom of living through countless centuries of hanging out with the world’s most talented artists, thinkers and writers.

The vampires in “What We Do in the Shadows,” played by Jonathan Brugh, Ben Fransham, and cowriters/directors Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement (from HBO’s “Flight of the Conchords”), are cursed for sure, but not with wisdom. For them, being cut off from society means not understanding how to Google something and still thinking that frilly sleeves and puffy shirts are cool. A night out in the clubs in Wellington is particularly tough for these guys, because no one wants to invite them in.

The setup — that a crew from The New Zealand Documentary Board is shooting this — is preposterous, but the level of craft and commitment to the mockumentary genre is what sets “What We Do in the Shadows” apart. The film has all the low-key charm of a Christopher Guest movie, but it also has the dynamic kick of seamlessly blending its faux-cinéma vérité style with the supernatural.

It’s this juxtaposition of the extraordinary with the absolutely ordinary that makes “What We Do in the Shadows” such a novel entry in the vampire canon. Sure, it’s a gas to be able to fly around or turn into a bat, but it’s kind of a bummer to ruin an antique couch

SCENE STEALERS

ERIC MELIN

eric@scene-stealers.com with the unstoppable stream of your latest victim’s blood.

The entire movie leads up to a gathering called The Unholy Masquerade, which sounds like an unparalleled paranormal orgy but ends up more resembling an interoffice Christmas party.

Like the best mockumentaries, “What We Do in the Shadows” works on another level outside of its obvious comedic goals.

Waititi and Clement generate genuine empathy for their ridiculous characters. The actors aren’t mugging for the camera to try and sell jokes — these guys are masters of deadpan humor — but their characters have flashes of that, as they try too hard sometimes to impress the camera crew.

In the end, it matters not that a lair of vampires — whose very survival depends on their existence being kept a secret — would allow a documentary film to be made about their lives. If anything, their need for sympathy and attention just makes them more relatable, and it makes this sleeper of a movie more charming.

“What We Do in the Shadows” What I remember most about the film are the faces of the people courageous enough to stand up in the face of death. It’s astonishing to think that this took place just 50 years ago.

TEDxLawrence Monday at Liberty Hall, Lawrence will host its first TEDx event, which is essentially an offspring of TED Talks.

TEDx events are inde-

pendently produced, and are designed to start discussion and ideation in the community.

The theme of TEDXLawrence is “Ideas Worth Sharing.” I’m proud to have been chosen as one of the speakers, and for the last month I have been furiously writing, re-writing, and rehearsing my talk, which is about embracing absurdity in the creative process.

Having an annual TEDx-like event is a natural fit for a town that is full of so many artists, thinkers and doers.

Monday’s event will feature business owners, professors, musicians, scientists, researchers, marketers, authors, a yo-yo world champion, and an air guitar world champ. (Guess which one I am.)

TEDxLawrence is sold out, but all of the talks

will be archived for the TEDx Web vaults, so hopefully they can reach an even bigger audience later. Cheers to the team who helped make this event happen, and here’s hoping it can inspire more people each year!

‘Selma’ screening “Selma,” a best picture nominee and best song winner at the Oscars last month, is showing for free at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 25, on the KU campus at Wescoe Hall, with a panel discussion to follow.

The panel features filmmaker Kevin Willmott, professor of film and media studies; Elizabeth Esch, assistant professor of American studies; and Melissa Foree, from the department of African and African-American studies. The event is sponsored by the Langston Hughes Center.

“Selma” follows Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (David Oyelowo) and protesters in 1964 as they march for the right to vote in Selma, Ala. Besides being an illuminating look at a key period in the American civil rights movement, director Ava DuVernay’s movie breaks the traditional biopic formula by going wide, and focusing on a number of perspectives.

ARTS NOTE Writer, performer Harpham to visit KU Renowned writer and performer Heather Harpham will visit the Kansas University theater department as an artist-inresidence this week.

From Monday to Friday, Harpham will give two public presentations, lead a demonstration with students and perform her most recent solo show, “BURNING.” The performance, which will be 7:30 p.m. Thursday at Baustian Theater in Murphy Hall, relies on movement, song, images and spoken word to address the issues of climate change.

Other public events organized in partnership with The Commons,

include an Artist Talk at 5:30 p.m. Monday at The Commons and a Coffee at The Commons event at 10 a.m. Tuesday.

All events during the residency are free. For more information about Harpham’s visit, go online to The Commons’ website.

Harpham has taught physical theater and improvisation at several institutions, including Sarah Lawrence College and Muhlenberg College. As a writer, she received the Brenda Ueland Prose Prize for fiction and was a 2009 nominee for a New York Innovative Theatre Award for her ensemble work with Company.

Satchmo CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1D

In the Kansas Union ballroom around 2:20 a.m., Armstrong, who also went by the nicknames “Satchmo” and “Pops,” along with more than 3,000 cheering students, welcomed the team’s arrival with a rousing rendition of “When the Saints Go Marching In.” Until recently, nobody knew an actual recording of Armstrong’s performance at that pep rally existed.

Enter Don Potts.

Long-lost recording Potts, a part-time student employee at KANU in 1957, recorded the performance as well as a short interview with Armstrong that night.

But the tape remained buried under a pile of other recordings in Potts’ Independence, Mo., basement for half a century, only to resurface four decades after Armstrong’s death.

Now, 58 years later, KANU will air Potts’ recording for the first time from 1 to 4 p.m. during Saturday’s broadcast of “The Jazz Scene.”

The episode will also include a short interview with Potts, recorded last month with “The Jazz Scene” host David Basse.

Basse, a Kansas Citybased jazz vocalist and drummer, wasn’t aware of Armstrong’s 1957 gig at KU until Potts brought it up “in passing” a few years back.

The friends had traveled to Lawrence that day to have lunch with longtime KPR host Jim Seaver, who passed away at age 92 in 2011.

“Then, on the drive back, he said, ‘Oh, I have this music that might be kind of interesting. I’ll get you a copy,’” Basse says. “He was really nonchalant about it.”

At that point, Potts had already mentioned the recording to another friend — pianist Paul Smith, who, along with Jeff Schiller of SoundTrek and Studio B Audio, mastered a CD of

“So, what I told Louis was, ‘This is not going to be anything earth-shaking.

I only know a bit about you and jazz, but I’d like to visit with you.’ And he was so kind,” Potts recalls of the musician. “I didn’t know what I was doing, I guess, so he might have felt sorry for me.”

Despite Potts’ bumbling questions (the KU game was a frequent topic), Armstrong remained amazingly patient with the 28-yearold “kid,” Potts says.

He even gave Potts a nickname: Papa D. The recording of that night may have remained untouched over the years, but the memory left an indelible mark on Potts, a lifelong music lover who once played violin in the Queens Symphony Orchestra.

At the end of the 1957 interview, Potts tells Armstrong that he hoped to be listening to his music for the next 60 or 70 years.

Potts, who turns 85 on Wednesday, is quick to point out that he’s a few years away from that milestone.

But of course, after all this time, he’s still a fan.

“I’ve always been interested in music,” he says.

“But the fact that I got to interview Louis Armstrong is what piqued my interest in jazz.”

A dog and Tony show ———————

Award-winning performer Bernadette Peters bringing musical talents, love of animals to Lied Center

By Joanna Hlavacek Twitter: @HlavacekJoanna

“Rosalie, get down!”

It’s just past lunchtime at Bernadette Peters’ New York City home, and the legendary actress and singer has her hands full with a pair of rowdy dogs.

Charlie, a 3-year-old wirehair pointer-Labradoodle mix, is Peters’ older pooch. His younger sister, Rosalie, celebrated her first birthday in October, so she’s still a bit of a puppy.

“At home, she listens to me right away, but outside on the street, she’s nearly like a bulldog,” Peters says of her taupecolored, freckled pit bull.

“She’s bullheaded, like, ‘OK, we’re going out. I’m in charge, I’m in front.’”

I don’t know why, but I’ve always had this great love of animals. My passion is to help companion animals find the homes where they belong.”

— Bernadette Peters

Though Peters, a threetime Tony Award winner and one-time Golden Globe recipient, doesn’t seem to mind too much.

“I don’t know why, but I’ve always had this great love of animals,” says Peters, who, along with her friend Mary Tyler Moore, co-founded Broadway

Barks in 1999. The annual charity event promotes the adoption of dogs and cats in the New York City area. “My passion is to help companion animals find the homes where they belong.”

On Tuesday evening, Peters will perform a mix of “standards” — from Stephen Sondheim, to Rodgers and Hammerstein, to Peggy Lee’s slinky “Fever,” to “When You Wish Upon a Star” from “Pinocchio” — at the Lied Center, 1600 Stewart Drive.

Before she hits the stage that night, the Lied Center will honor Peters’ philanthropic work by “going to the dogs.” From 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., visitors can meet adoptable dogs from the Lawrence Humane Society in the venue’s lobby. The Lied Center is also sharing local adoption stories on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram in the days leading up to the performance.

But in talking over the phone with Peters last Thursday, the whole arrangement seems to be a surprise to the performer, who sweetly asked, “Are they going to bring them [the dogs] out on stage?”

BOOK REVIEW

AP File Photo

THIS JULY 8, 2013, PHOTO SHOWS ACTRESS BERNADETTE PETERS with Chili, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, at the Brooklyn Animal Resource Coalition in the Williamsburg section of the Brooklyn borough of New York. Peters co-founded Broadway Barks dog and cat adoption event in 1999 along with Mary Tyler Moore. Peters will be performing Tuesday at the Lied Center, and the Lawrence Humane Society will bring adoptable dogs to meet attendees before the event.

It’s something she used to do with her beloved Kramer, a Briard mix who passed away at age 16 in 2012.

“I’d take him on stage and he’d just run around,” Peters says of her canine pal. “He loved audiences, he loved applause, he’d talk to the audience. He was a real show dog.”

Kramer reminded her a bit of Hollywood legend John Barrymore (“He probably acted like a dog in real life, so he had to come back as a dog,” Peters jokes) and the titular tramp from “Lady and the Tramp” (“I’d always

dreamed of having a dog that looked like that my whole life,” she says of the 1955 Disney cartoon).

The shaggy pooch later inspired a children’s book, “Broadway Barks,” published in 2008. Peters’ later dogs spurred 2010’s “Stella is a Star,” about a pit bull who dreams of becoming a piggy ballerina, and an upcoming book about Charlie’s adoption into the family.

That last one should come out this year, says Peters, who recently finished her first season as Gloria, the chairwoman

of a New York City symphony board, in Amazon Prime’s “Mozart in the Jungle.” She’s signed on for a second season of the series, which starts shooting in August.

Until then, she’s happy to sing for live audiences.

After appearing in Lawrence, she’ll take a few weeks off and then play a three-night gig with the Nashville Symphony.

Peters, it turns out, is especially fond of Kansas. She shot her first film, 1973’s “Ace Eli and Rodger of the Skies,” near Hutchinson.

When asked to de-

scribe the difference between audiences in the Sunflower State and those on Broadway, Peters offers a diplomatic answer.

“Oh, audiences across the country have been so wonderful and sweet to me,” she says.

Before Peters can offer up specifics, her attention turns to one of her dogs.

BEST-SELLERS

‘Goldeneye’ a delightful look at the birthplace of James Bond

Here are the best-sellers for the week that ended March 15, compiled from nationwide data.

His 1962 story Octopussy “is really about alcoholism,” Parker tells us.

“I’ve always had one foot not wanting to leave the cradle, and the other in a hurry to get to the grave, which has made for an uncomfortable existence,” Fleming wrote privately. Like Bond, Fleming could not let go of his smoking and drinking. He died in 1964, at 56.

Bond lives. Should he?

Parker’s study is good enough to explain why he endures and honest enough to make clear just how rooted he is in the past. On those racial issues, for example, Parker notes that Fleming and Bond share a distinctly colonial attitude toward black Jamaicans.

Fleming’s shameful racist clichés are called out, but Parker also notes that “Fleming — and Bond — looked down on pretty much everyone who was not British and perceived people of all colours in terms of negative stereotypes of race and nationality.” By this standard, Parker argues, Fleming seems to show more affection toward black Jamaicans and Americans than almost any non-British characters.

It’s not exactly a redemptive analysis, but that’s not what this book is trying to do. Parker is out to explain an era, a writer and a remarkable character. Mission accomplished.

By Michael Merschel The Dallas Morning News

James Bond needs someone to put him in his place. And time.

Given the way he pops up in theaters as a fresh face every few years, it’s hard for some of us to think of the suave, unstoppable Bond as a relic. Truth is, Ian Fleming brought him to life way back in 1953, the year Queen Elizabeth II was coronated.

The books show their age. No modern reader can pick up a Bond novel without being stopped cold by some racial stereotyping that seems condescending and cringeFleming worthy if you want to be charitable, downright horrific if you want to be honest.

But Bond fans need feel no shame in picking up “Goldeneye: Where Bond Was Born: Ian Fleming’s Jamaica.” This is no guilty pleasure. It’s a straight-up delight of a biographical narrative that crisply illuminates Bond, Fleming and the era when the sun was setting on the British Empire and dawning on the jet age, and that shaped both.

This is not a full-scale biography. Fleming’s entire life before 1949 is quickly summarized in the

Matt Dunham/AP File Photo

A MAN TAKES PHOTOGRAPHS BESIDE A DISPLAY OF JAMES BOND BOOKS at an exhibition at the Imperial War Museum in London in April 2008. Author Matthew Parker, in his new book “Goldeneye: Where Bond Was Born: Ian Fleming’s Jamaica,” recalls how author Ian Fleming’s island home influenced his famous spy novels. opening pages, although we learn the essential facts: He was a child of privilege in a family of connections (when Fleming’s father died in World War I, his friend Winston Churchill wrote the obituary). Young Fleming, like his fictional alter ego, was irresistible to women, “notorious for his openminded approach to sex, his obsessional interest in it and his direct manner of seduction.”

Author Matthew Parker quickly jets us from dreary England. During World War II, after attending a naval conference, Fleming vowed to a friend, “When we have won this blasted war, I am going to live in Jamaica. Just live in Jamaica, lap it up, and swim in the sea and write books.”

He kept his word. In

1946 Fleming built a stark, modern house, along “a tranquil aquamarine bay protected by a broad and tangled reef.” He called it Goldeneye, after a wartime operation he had planned for the defense of Gibraltar. Fleming, who worked as foreign news manager for the Sunday Times and apparently had a lot more pull with his superiors than the people writing and editing this review, worked a deal that allowed him to spend two months’ paid leave on the island each year.

Fleming used Goldeneye for all kinds of recreational activities: snorkeling, spearfishing, the affair with his married lover and future wife, Ann. Their passionate and tempestuous relationship is related in

soap-opera-worthy detail. Like Bond, Fleming had commitment issues, and Coward found him to be “excellent source material” for his plays.

Parker balances his reporting on such upperclass decadence with details on the island’s history and politics, including its drive to gain independence and shed the plantationlike attitudes that Fleming and other white Britons would have been perfectly happy to continue. If some of these sections are the least snappy of the book, they provide necessary context and ballast. And the revelations about Bond are never far away.

He owes an awful lot to Jamaica. The spy’s name came from the ornithologist who wrote a guidebook on the shelf at Goldeneye. Fleming spent hours “floating, observing or hunting” on his reef: “For Fleming, being out in the bay was the perfect combination of action and sensuality that would become James Bond.”

Fleming’s life unfolds in stories about each Bond book, and Parker helps us find clues to the sad reality behind the fiction. Fleming’s marriage and health were bottoming out just as Bond’s popularity was becoming stratospheric (helped by an endorsement from none other than President John F. Kennedy).

KANSAS CITY CONNECTION

By Lucas Wetzel

City Market a hub for delicious ethnic food

W

hen people ask me what neighborhoods they should check out in Kansas City, I try to find out what their goals are.

If it’s high-end shopping they’re after, I recommend the Country Club Plaza. If their plan is to drink, I send them to Westport.

And if their objective is to eat a lot of different kinds of ethnic food at fairly inexpensive prices, I direct them to the City Market.

In recent months, the dining options in the City Market have only increased, with the addition of several new establishments ranging from Vietnamese rice dishes to Neapolitan pizza. The City Market is currently full of traffic barriers and utility work related to streetcar construction, but anyone willing to work around it will be well rewarded.

At the corner of Fifth and Grand, Nguyen Pho and Grill offers a tasty pho soup, with options including eye-round beef, meatball, chicken, tofu and veggies, as well as bahn mi sandwiches made with grilled steak, grilled

Kansas City has traditionally lacked establishments that function as both a high-quality coffee shop and a bar, a la Lawrence’s Bourgeois Pig. But Thou Mayest Coffee Roasters, at 419 E. 18th St. in the Crossroads, fulfills both functions admirably.

With an interior full of exposed brick, reclaimed wood furnishings, unconventional light fixtures and lots and lots of plants, Thou Mayest is a modern yet relaxing atmosphere that is conducive to conversation. The coffee itself is pretty phenomenal as well, as are the pastries, cocktails and rotating selection of draft beers.

On nice days, check out the upstairs or downstairs patio. Thou Mayest is open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Wednesday, and until midnight Thursday through Saturday.

Tamales are available with two different kinds of masa, including one made with sweet corn.

Just hang up on annoying phone scammers Dear Annie: At least once a week, I get an unsolicited phone call from â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rachel from Cardholder Services.â&#x20AC;?

This seems to be an obvious scam to get me to switch to another credit card or maybe just to get personal information. I have received these calls both in Connecticut and Florida.

When I ask, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Who do you represent?â&#x20AC;? they hang up.

I am now getting calls from some individual telling me his organization detected a problem with my computer the last time I was on the Internet.

That one is more worrisome because they are searching for access to my computer, and again, I assume itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an illegal call.

What agency do I contact to get help shutting down these

scam artists? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; B. Dear B.: The Federal Trade Commission has already gone after â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rachel from Cardholder Services,â&#x20AC;? along with her robocall buddies.

Yes, such calls are illegal, but it can be difficult to trace the callers before they have done a good deal of damage to consumers. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our advice: If you receive an automated call from someone you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know offering to save you money, HANG UP.

A&E studies suburban swingers Entirely too many basic cable programs could be summed up with the phrase â&#x20AC;&#x153;white people do the darndest things.â&#x20AC;? At their most extreme, these shows extol the bumptious lifestyles of stereotypical swamp denizens, unshaven backwoodsmen, trailer park drama queens and the like. We also follow adventurers, prospectors, loggers, fishermen and exiles to the most forbidding latitudes, where the scenery and the faces are whiter than white.

A third variation on this theme is the search for exotic and/or deviant behavior among subcultures, such as polygamous Mormons, Amish outlaws or frisky teens on Rumspringa.

A&E offers a new wrinkle in that last subgenre of Caucasian curiosities with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Neighbors With Benefitsâ&#x20AC;? (9 p.m.).

This documentary-style series is set in the suburbs of Cincinnati, a city long associated with Protestant rectitude. We meet young and seemingly â&#x20AC;&#x153;normalâ&#x20AC;? folk who do far more than covet their neighborsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wives and husbands. They are swingers, pursuing a fairly codified arrangement of organized adultery with all of the zeal and formality of a garden club or PTA chapter.

As in every reality series, we have confessional moments, where respective spouses share their feelings or misgivings about the lifestyle. Some see it as strengthening their bond, while others (big surprise!) confess that it has all but destroyed their marriage.

In a community of swingers, monogamous couples tend to stand out. Are they a threat to the movement? Or fresh meat? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Neighbors With Benefitsâ&#x20AC;? presents and promotes swinging as a matter of fact and a â&#x20AC;&#x153;growing trend.â&#x20AC;? If this sounds ridiculous, preposterous and contrived to you, then you may be in possession of something called a human brain as well as a sense of irony and perspective. That automatically excludes you from this showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s target audience.

Dear Annie: I could have written the letter from â&#x20AC;&#x153;Need My Sanity,â&#x20AC;? who said her husband complains about the lack of intimacy even though he helps around the house. But he works a high-stress job and brings it home with him.

After listening to him vent and complain, she wants a break.

I love my husband of 25 years. He is hardworking and loyal and has a good heart. But he is also hypercritical, moody and quick to become annoyed. I am not intimidated by his behavior, but neither am I sexually attracted to him anymore.

I try to help him see how counterproductive his behavior is, but it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do any good. He wants more sex because it gives him the fix he needs to be content for a day or

so. But after a couple of decades of being his â&#x20AC;&#x153;medication,â&#x20AC;? the thrill is gone for me. He seldom shows warmth, just physical desire.

He refuses to be screened for depression and wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go for counseling with or without me. But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still in it for the long haul, hoping he might eventually mellow. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Keeping Calm and Clothed Dear Keeping Calm: He might mellow when he retires, but the question then becomes whether you are willing to tolerate him for the duration. A little short-term counseling for you might allow you to develop a more effective strategy. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Send questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or Annieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mailbox, P.O.

With action photography that pops off the page, this book tells the story of the winningest decade in the storied history of Kansas basketball, focusing on the 10 straight Big 12 Championships.

It tells the story of each game at point-blank range, and it tells those stories with human emotion, not impersonal, cold numbers.

Authored and compiled by photographer Nick Krug and with commentary by sports editor Tom Keegan, the book is 11”x 8.5” with a litho laminate hardcover on 120 pt. board, smythe sewn/case bound, full-color 80# gloss text interior pages.
