BONNIE SCOTT, 85, RUNS HER HAND over husband Eugene Scott’s hand after feeding him dinner recently in their Lawrence home. Eugene Scott, 93, a World War II veteran who was wounded during the D-Day Invasion, is now confined to bed after suffering a stroke. Recently, he received several medals for his service in World War II because of the persistence of his son, Ron Scott. Among the medals, pictured at top with a military portrait of Eugene Scott as a young man, are the Bronze Star, Purple Heart, World War II Victory Medal and European, African, Middle Eastern Campaign Medal.

Propolis Might Help in Prostate Cancer Propolis, a resinous substance bees use to seal their hives, has long been used as a dietary supplement because it has antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal properties. In a recent study, researchers at the University of Chicago tested an antioxidant extract of propolis, caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) on laboratory mice with prostate cancer. CAPE inhibited the growth of early-stage prostate cancer by inhibiting the tumor cells’ ability to identify sources of nutrition. CAPE stopped tumor growth in the mice, but the tumors grew at their original rate when the treatment was stopped.

Higher Magnesium Related to Fewer Cardiovascular Deaths People who consume large amounts of magnesium from their foods are less likely to die from cardiovascular diseases, according to a study by Japanese researchers.

Wen Zhang, PhD, of Osaka University, and her colleagues analyzed the dietary magnesium intake of 58,615 Japanese men and women, ages 40-79 years when the study began. After an average follow up of almost 15 years, 2,690 subjects had died from cardiovascular disease, primarily stroke and coronary heart disease. +LJK LQWDNH RI PDJQHVLXP ZDV DVVRFLDWHG ZLWK VLJQL¿FDQWO\ ORZHU risks of death. Men had a 51 percent lower risk of hemorrhagic stroke, 53 percent lower risk of ischemic stroke, and 50 percent lower risk of either heart failure or coronary heart disease. Women with high magnesium intake from food had a 26 percent lower risk of all cardiovascular diseases.

Vitamin D Linked to Lower Breast Cancer Risk Researchers from Mexico compared 573 randomly selected women who had been diagnosed with breast cancer within the prior six days and 639 women with similar characteristics who were free of the disease. Vitamin D levels were inversely associated with risk of breast cancer. Overall, higher vitamin D levels were associated with a 47 percent lower risk of breast cancer. In premenopausal women, high vitamin D levels were associated with a 40 percent lower risk, and in postmenopausal women high vitamin D levels were associated with a 63 percent lower risk of breast cancer.

Michelle GreGory Stacy On March 19, Michelle Gregory Stacy, 60, passed away from this earth and took her final voyage to meet her heavenly Father after a 7 year battle with ovarian cancer. A memorial service will be held at 11:00 AM, Saturday, March 29, 2014 in the chapel of Lunn’s Colonial Funeral Home, with Hospice Chaplain Gwen Moorman officiating.

Those attending the service are requested to wear Caribbean or colorful attire. Arrangements are under the direction of Lunn’s Colonial Funeral Home.

Michelle was a sailor with a Caribbean Soul, for she so loved the unique way that a body of water could be enjoyed from the helm of a sailboat. She was born on November 30, 1953 in Lawrence, Kansas, and spent her adult life living in the Dallas (TX) area.

It was on the waters of Lake Lewisville that she first fell in love with sailing.

In those early days she sailed 14’ Hobie Cats and won the Women’s National Championship in 1981. After retiring from competitive sailing she began cruising on larger boats and started taking friends along. It is on these voyages, mostly in the West Indies, that she was happiest: among her family and friends, sharing great times and beautiful sunsets. Oh, how Michelle loved a great sunset! We will never see one and not think of her.

In between voyages, Michelle managed to build a successful manufacturing businessRadius Display Products.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Wednesday, March 26 at 10:00 am at the Holy Family Catholic Church at 820 Birch Street in Eudora.

Burial will follow in Holy Family Catholic Cemetery.

Jay was born January 18, 1917 in Eudora, the son of Albert and Clara (Schehrer) Grosdidier, the eldest of seven children.

He was preceded in death by his son Ronnie, and siblings Herbert, Rosemary, Arthur, Bernard, and Magdalene.

He is survived by his wife of 73 years, Helen Lorraine (Taylor), his sister Arlene Krizman (Richard), his sons Kenneth (Connie Lovsky), and Don (Mary), and daughter-in-law Marilyn Lindeen (Bob), sister-in-laws Mary and Agnes, six grandchildren Chris (Fran), Steve, Matt, Jennifer (Miles Neiffer), Catherine, and Megan, five great-grandchildren

instilled her values of honest, straightforward business, and an “all hands on deck” mentality among co-workers that has thrived for 37 years.

Many employees of the company are among her closest friends. In 2004, Michelle published her autobiography “Letters to Mom.” Michelle was preceded in death by father Gleason Charles Gregory and mother Helen Caroline (Boehm) Gregory. She is survived by her companion Rick Bonner; son and daughter “by choice” Tim Lightfoot and Heather Lightfoot King; siblings Gleason Gregory and Roxanne Gregory; halfsiblings Gavin Gregory and Jolene Riegle; step-mother Maxine Gregory; “soul-sister” Mary O’Brien; and more nieces, nephews, cousins and friends than could fit on a 36’ Catalina.

Michelle requested that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the following organizations that were dear to her: Possum Kingdom Women’s Scholarship Fund, Union Gospel Mission, and Hospice of Wichita Falls.

ROAD WORK

Water line project to close traffic lane Lawrence l Starting the week of April 7, the utilities department plans to replace the water line from Louisiana to Alabama streets on 23rd Street. During construction the right lane of westbound traffic will be closed. Traffic control devices will be in place to direct motorists beginning 300 feet east of Ohio Street and both lanes of traffic open just west of Alabama Street.

Staff anticipates this closing to begin the week of April 7 and last through the end of July. This schedule may change because of weather and construction needs. l 19th Street from Naismith Drive to Ousdahl Road will be closed to traffic from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. during the week of March 17. A private plumbing company has requested to close the street to install a new water line. Northbound and southbound traffic on Naismith Drive will not be affected. Motorists can use 23rd Street for east-west traffic during the closure. l Contractors are installing two new force mains, by horizontal directional drilling from the Kaw Wastewater

Treatment Plant to Pump Station 04 in North Lawrence.

The intersection of Eighth and Walnut streets is expected to remain closed until the end of the project in July. Detour signs have been posted in the area of Eighth and Walnut streets to accommodate for local traffic as well as park and boat ramp visitors.

Barriers will be installed to detour traffic as necessary within the project schedule. Traffic will be rerouted to Elm Street, Oak Street or Ash Street. l The intersection of North 1500 Road (E. 15th Street extended) and Noria Road (East 1750 Road) will be closed from 6 p.m. until March 23 for pavement reconstruction, weather permitting. The existing chip sealed pavement in the intersection will be removed and replaced with concrete pavement. In the event of inclement weather March 23, construction will be rescheduled to March 28-30. l An area in Burcham Park will be fenced off with no public access to the river bank parking and playground equipment areas during construction of the Kaw Water Treatment Plant Raw Water Intake project.

Events will bring impact of Syria crisis to campus

Plaintiffs respond to GOP finance bill

Preserving the past

By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

For Kansas University senior Suhayla Sibaai, the civil war in Syria is personal — she has relatives there and fears for their safety.

But Sibaai and other members of KU Students for Justice in the Middle East believe everyone should care about what’s going on there and try to help. The club has designated this week Syria in Crisis: Jayhawk Awareness Week and has planned several events.

“Our organization believes that this is the greatest humanitarian crisis of our generation,” Sibaai said Salman Husain, a KU junior from Wichita and the club’s president. “Thousands of people have died in this crisis and even more people have been displaced. And our international community has really turned its back on the Syrian people.”

Husain said that for international citizens, options to help are limited. But instead of focusing on the country’s politics, the week’s activities aim to raise awareness and money for aid.

Sibaai was born and raised in Wichita, but her father is from Syria. Her last trip to the country was in 2010 — she’d booked Please see SYRIA, page 4A

The Republican school finance bill would lead to more litigation because it includes a “hodgepodge of bad ideas,” plaintiff school districts in the education lawsuit said Saturday.

“We don’t have time to cram several ideas into a single bill,” said John Robb, an attorney representing Schools for Fair Funding, which filed the school finance SCHOOLS case in 2010.

“The Legislature needs to fund equalization very soon.

Kansas has a funding formula that works if it’s properly funded.”

Sibaai has an aunt, uncle and cousins living in the besieged city of Homs.

“Of course there is that worry,” Sibaai said.

“There’s no such thing as a safe space there right now.”

Until his death last year, Sibaai’s grandfather lived in Syria, on a street she says tanks rolled through, crushing cars and looting homes while he was away seeking medical treatment. Other relatives sought refuge in Egypt, where they face curfews, harassment and — even if the war were to end — “a feeling of nothing to go back to,” Sibaai said.

Then-Kansas University professor Leonard Lindsay Dyche created the panorama to show at the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair, where thousands of visitors got to observe 121 North American mammals in their natural environments.

In response to the display’s popularity, the Kansas Legislature approved funding for the 1902 construction of Dyche Hall, where the panorama has been housed ever since.

But after decades of exposure to light and humidity, the panorama is in need of a makeover.

“As these mounts begin to fall apart, they create this disconnect between the viewer and the object,” said museum spokeswoman Jen Humphrey. “They begin to see the cracked skins and the faded hides instead of seeing the woodland scene or seeing the animal on the mountain or taking in how big an elk is.”

‘Behind the Glass’ At 7:30 p.m. March 26, the Kansas University Natural History Museum will have a free public lecture at the Commons about its historic panorama. “Behind the Glass” will include presentations by museum conservator Ron Harvey and Bill Sharp, co-author of “The Dashing Kansan,” a biography about the panorama’s creator, Lewis Lindsay Dyche. The lectures will be preceded by a dinner in the panorama gallery; a limited number of tickets for the dinner are available for $30 each by contacting the museum at 864-4450. munity. In total, about $100,000 is going to fund the conservation assessment.

The assessment started last year, with an analysis of the toxic chemicals in the exhibit because, in the late 1800s, taxidermists used heavy metals to prevent insect infestation. Researchers found arsenic, mercuric chloride and lead (possibly from the back-

for feedback and, later, funding.

Museum Director Leonard Krishtalka says the preservation is critical because the panorama is the oldest and, from an aerial point of view, largest of its kind, anywhere in the world. It is also next to Comanche, a horse that survived the Battle of Big Horn, the museum’s best known and most popular exhibit.

“We have generations of Kansans who remember first visiting the panorama, being awed by it and then showing their children and grandchildren,” he said. “It’s been heartening to see the fantastic community support. It’s a recognition that it is indeed one of America’s cultural treasures and one of Kansas’ cultural treasures that needs to be preserved for future generations.”

is one of the oldest and most unique panoramas and dioramas in the world,” he said. “And for the most part, it’s in remarkably good shape given its age.”

How has it lasted so long?

“Part of it was the level and quality of the taxidermy,” he said. “Part of it was luck.”

Harvey explained how in the 1930s, museum officials closed off the skylight above the exhibit because the building was having structural issues. Ultraviolet rays and light, in general, cause the mounts to fade.

The cost and timeline for restoration will be part of the assessment report, which is expected in the late spring or early summer.

The museum then will look to the community

three-judge trial court for review.

It also remanded back to the panel the larger issue in the case — whether the state is providing adequate funding for all schools — with instructions to decide that issue using a different standard.

The lower court had previously ruled that overall funding was inadequate and ordered an increase of at least $450 million per year in base education funding.

Robb cited several provisions of the bill that would raise new constitutional issues in court, including language aimed at influencing how courts should judge future school finance lawsuits.

In its ruling March 7, the court said that for funding to be equitable, “School districts must have reasonably equal access to substantially similar educational opportunity through similar tax effort.” Without sufficient equalization aid, the court said, lower-wealth districts have to levy substantially higher property taxes than wealthier districts in order to raise similar amounts of money.

He also said a provision granting school principals authority to award merit-based pay for teachers infringes on the authority of local boards of education. And he cited a provision that reduces equalization aid to poor districts in the future for bond and interest payments.

“This is amazing in the face of (the) new equity standard,” Robb said.

In its ruling March 7, the court said that for funding to be equitable, “School districts must have reasonably equal access to substantially similar educational op-

portunity through similar tax effort.” Without sufficient equalization aid, the court said, lower-wealth districts have to levy substantially higher property taxes than wealthier districts in order to raise similar amounts of money.

Finally, Robb noted, a provision in one version of the bill opens the door for more charter schools in Kansas “which would be exempt from education standards set by the State Board of Education.”

On Friday, though, GOP leaders admitted that provision was included in the bill by

mistake, and they said they intend to introduce a new bill without that language.

But they also said individual legislators are free to offer amendments as the bill progresses through the Legislature.

House and Senate budget committees are expected to begin working on the GOP bill Monday.

Rep. Marc Rhoades and Sen. Ty Masterson, the respective chairs of those committees, did not immediately respond Saturday to requests for comment.

Sperm donor wants to block testing Topeka (ap) — A Kansas man who provided sperm to a lesbian couple has asked the Kansas Supreme Court to direct a district court judge to block the state’s request that the man undergo paternity testing.

The motion was filed Friday on behalf of William Marotta, of Topeka.

It also asks that the high court instruct Shawnee County District Court Judge Mary Mattivi to hold a hearing to determine if genetic testing w o u l d be in the COURTS best interests of the 4-year-old girl born as a result of the sperm Marotta provided to the couple, The Topeka Capital-Journal reported.

The Kansas Department for Children and Families filed the case in October 2012 seeking to have Marotta declared the father of a child born to Jennifer Schreiner in 2009. The state was seeking to have Marotta declared the child’s father so he can be held responsible for about $6,000 in public assistance the state provided, as well as future child support.

Marotta opposed that action, saying he had contacted Schreiner and her partner at the time, Angela Bauer, in response to an ad they placed on Craigslist seeking a sperm donor. He said he signed a contract waiving his parental rights and responsibilities.

“The state’s claim that this action is merely a collection action for child support belies the reality that the child’s emotional and physical well-being is being ignored,” Marotta’s lawyer, Benoit Swinnen, wrote in the motion.

Mattivi concluded their contract was moot because those involved didn’t follow a Kansas statute enacted in 1994, which Mattivi ruled requires a licensed physician to perform the artificial insemination in cases involving sperm donors.

Mattivi issued a summary judgment Jan. 22 in favor of the DCF concluding Marotta is the child’s father.

Mattivi also issued orders March 13 granting the state’s request for an order requiring Marotta to undergo genetic testing.

Swinnen said during a district court hearing on March 14, he told Marotta to not voluntarily submit to the genetic testing. Swinnen gave those instructions to Marotta after he filed a motion that day asking the judge to stay all proceedings in the case for 14 days.

concerned about other messages posted on The Cave’s Twitter account.

Those include a photo of a man who appears to have passed out in a bar booth and to have wet his pants. The photo was sent multiple times on The Cave’s Twitter account and was accompanied by language promoting the bar’s frequent $1 drink nights.

“It is a completely irresponsible business practice,” said Jen Jordan, director of prevention services at the Lawrencebased drug and alcohol counseling service DCCCA. The nightclub’s social media messages also have drawn attention at City Hall. The Cave, 1200 Oread Ave., is part of a project that received more than $500,000 in public tax incentives in 2013 and is scheduled to receive tax breaks for another 15 years or more.

“I think it would be in the best interest for both the management of The Cave and the city to have a conference and try to have them understand what we expect them to do and how we expect them to conduct their business,” said City Commissioner Bob Schumm, who also is in the alcohol industry as the owner of a bar and restaurant in downtown Lawrence.

A representative of The Cave said she recently had seen to the removal of the photo from The Cave’s social media accounts, but shared few other details.

“I can’t control everything that everybody does,” said Nancy Longhurst, the general manager for The Oread and the person listed as a representative of The Cave on its liquor license. “I can tell you that now that I have seen the picture, I have handled it myself personally, internally, and that becomes a personnel issue.”

Other tweets Jordan said the photo on social media, which was posted on both Jan. 24 and Jan. 25, was particularly troubling because of the message it sent about alcohol abuse.

“If someone is passed out, they should be calling 911 and getting them

medical help,” Jordan said. “Promoting excess to a dangerous level is what is disturbing. They are making this to be humorous.”

Several other tweets or retweets by The Cave also have drawn attention. They include: l A Feb. 8. retweet that “alcoholism isn’t a real thing until after college.” l A Feb. 28 retweet about the need for “blackout buckets” at the nightclub. l A February tweet that “ladies drink free until 10:30.” A Facebook posting by The Cave also indicated that women drink free every Friday night at The Cave. l On multiple occasions tweets announced winners of free punch cards that could be redeemed for alcoholic drinks.

Dean Reynoldson, director of the state’s ABC division, said he couldn’t comment on what role the tweets may have played in the state’s case against The Cave because the investigation is ongoing. But he said the state has laws against advertising free alcohol.

Some of The Cave’s tweets did raise questions of general taste as well, leaders said. A Feb. 15 tweet promoted the club’s dollar drink night by simply saying: “Dolla (Expletive) Night.”

“This doesn’t look appropriate,” Schumm said of the string of tweets. “It doesn’t look appropriate if you are trying to establish good behavior.”

Jordan, who works with a variety of bars in her job, said The Cave’s tactics weren’t typical of how other bars in the community promote themselves.

people who work for me in the hotel, and also, I assume, downstairs (in The Cave),” Longhurst said.

“People make mistakes, and we all have to learn as we grow up.”

Although listed on the club’s state liquor license, Longhurst isn’t the dayto-day general manager of The Cave. It was unclear who serves as the manager of the club.

Longhurst ended the interview with the Journal-World before the reporter had a chance to ask all of his questions about the club’s operation.

Attempts to reach Thomas Fritzel, the prominent Lawrence developer involved in the Rock Chalk Park project and others, were not successful. Fritzel is part of the ownership group for The Oread project.

City incentives The Cave is scheduled to have a preliminary hearing Monday on the alleged violations of state liquor law. City commissioners said they want to be updated on how the ABC’s enforcement action against The Cave proceeds.

But city officials also said they want to meet with leaders of The Cave to discuss issues that go beyond liquor law matters.

Lawrence police have had to respond to The Cave for reports of fights on multiple occasions. Sgt. Trent McKinley, a spokesman for the department, said late last week that data hadn’t yet been compiled to show how the number of calls to The Cave compares with calls to other bars in town.

L awrence J ournal -W orld “It is an active place,” McKinley said of The Cave.

McKinley cited incidents at The Cave that have required a large police response. Eight police units were sent to the site in the earlymorning hours of Feb. 2 after an officer on patrol reported that a fight was brewing among a large crowd leaving the bar.

Ultimately police officers used pepper spray to subdue some members of the crowd who advanced on a police officer who was handcuffing a suspect, McKinley said.

Before officers could leave the scene, they worked another incident that involved a male patron allegedly punching a female patron of the bar in the mouth while in a club VIP room, McKinley said.

Some city commissioners said they also want to have a discussion about the tweets the club has used to promote itself. After seeing several of the tweets, Schumm said he thought there should be a discussion about standards of “good judgment and good taste.”

Schumm said the conversation would be appropriate because city commissioners in 2008 approved a pair of special taxing districts for the multistory Oread building, which includes the hotel, condos and The Cave. The two taxing districts, which essentially rebate property and sales taxes back to the development group, generated $560,437 for the development group in 2013. The project is scheduled to receive tax incentives until about 2030.

Commissioner Mike Amyx was part of the commission that approved the tax incentives for The Oread. Amyx said he wants city staff members to review the agree-

ments the city has with the Oread developers to determine what, if anything, the agreements say about the expected conduct of the business.

Schumm, who was not on the commission at the time of The Oread deal, said he wants staff members to look at what language could be added to future agreements to ensure businesses receiving incentives operate at an agreed upon “level of behavior.”

“It is quite obvious that we don’t want to give an incentive for any kind of program that we’re not going to be proud of,” Schumm said.

Schumm and Amyx both noted that The Cave is only a small portion of The Oread project. The hotel portion of the project frequently is cited as one of the top hotels in the city and has been used to attract conferences and events to the area.

But Schumm said activity around The Cave will cause some taxpayers to question whether the city is getting what it signed up for when it approved the incentives.

“The photos and tweets may not tell the full story, but, if they do, then the public is not getting what it signed up for,” Schumm said.

Longhurst said such concerns are inaccurate.

“Thomas Fritzel and the whole partnership group has done everything for this community,” Longhurst said. “I am so proud to say that I manage The Oread hotel.

We have provided a gift to this community. We have provided 290 jobs to this community. We have a beautiful facility. And you know what? I can’t be more proud of what we have done.”

— City reporter Chad Lawhorn can be reached at 832-6362. Follow him at Twitter.com/clawhorn_ljw

The Cave’s response Longhurst said she had not yet reviewed all The Cave’s social media accounts and was not familiar with any of the postings mentioned above, other than the photo of the man with the wet pants. But she said she would look into the other postings in future days and address the issue with staff members as needed.

Arpke said he believed KU’s budget should have been cut even more in recent years because of declining enrollment.

— Tim Caboni, KU spokesman I think we are liberal in that we educate people in such a way that they can think for themselves.”

State Rep. Tom Sloan, one of the few Lawrence Republicans who holds elected office, said he thinks other Kansans are envious of Lawrence “because Lawrence has what most communities want: a vibrant education community, a good economic system, social opportunities.”

But Mike O’Neal, a former Republican House Speaker from Hutchinson who is a KU alumnus and an avid supporter of the university, said he thinks KU is largely the source of its own political problems.

O’Neal thinks KU has damaged its own credibility in the way it lobbies the Legislature.

“One example of that,” O’Neal said, is that “the university wants to increase salaries; that budget request is turned down; and as a consequence the university finds a way to increase salaries from other sources.

“And that I know was a source of irritation to members of the Legisla-

ture, that the university was going to do whatever the university was going to do anyway, with or without the Legislature.

So why should the Legislature have a role in always responding to these budget requests from the university?”

More generally, though, O’Neal said, KU has been slow to realize a political reality that other regents institutions accepted long ago: “the changing political environment and budgetary environment that we’re in.”

“Unlike K-12, the state in terms of its relationship with higher ed is not the sole source of funding anymore,” he said.

“The mindset of the Legislature right now is, with limited resources, what is the state’s role in higher ed in terms of the funding it does provide? And, as to the percentage of funding it does provide to higher education overall, what is the return on investment?”

In other words, O’Neal said, it is no longer enough to say that higher education is generally good for society. Universities have

But he did. Came back to the tiny town of McLouth in Jefferson County. In three months, he met and married Bonnie. They lived there 49 years. He worked for the local electric cooperative. He and Bonnie raised their only child.

All that time Eugene never had gotten all that was quite due to him. But make no mistake, Eugene Scott has led a decorated life.

But still, a man deserves to take his medals home with him. At 93, Eugene Scott is heading home again — with medals and the love that it finally took to get them.

Source of animosity There are several theories about the source of the cultural and political chasm separating KU and the rest of the state.

Some look as far back as the antiwar protests on the campus in 1970 and the burning of the Student Union. Others point to the obvious political differences: Lawrence and Douglas County lean decidedly liberal while the state as a whole is reliably conservative.

In 2003, for example, when the city of Lawrence debated enacting a “living wage” requirement for companies that receive local tax breaks, Rep. Mike Kiegerl, a Republican from Olathe, quipped during a committee meeting: “Why should we not allow Lawrence to hurt its local economy?

We all know that Marxism is alive and well only in academia.”

State Rep. Barbara Ballard, D-Lawrence, said many legislators “think we are very, very liberal.

Virtual options Whether or not a virtual high school is the answer, the Lawrence school district must meet the needs of students who aren’t successful in a traditional high school setting.

T

he Lawrence school district is right to re-examine and revamp the Lawrence Virtual High School program.

As it undertakes that process, district officials should pay special attention to a group that School Superintendent Rick Doll acknowledges often is drawn to virtual schools: students who aren’t succeeding in traditional brick-andmortar schools.

Many such student once were served by the Lawrence Alternative High School, and when that school closed in 2005, the virtual school was touted as a possible option for those students.

If Lawrence Virtual High School isn’t meeting that need, the district can’t simply give up on those students.

It’s apparent that LVHS, which enrolls students from across the state, isn’t meeting its goals. Last year, for example, nearly 45 percent of its students failed to meet state standards on the math assessment tests, compared with only 15 percent in the Lawrence district and 19 percent statewide. The graduation rate at LVHS was just 26.3 percent, compared with 88 percent for Lawrence High School and 94 percent for Free State.

To address such problems, the Lawrence district has taken back management of the school from its private contractor, K12 Inc. Next fall, all the teachers at LVHS will be Lawrence district employees. The school’s principal said he hopes that having teachers who know Lawrence and Kansas and understand Midwest values and state expectations will boost the school’s performance and make it more competitive with other virtual schools.

Demand apparently remains strong for virtual school programs, but as Doll noted, “we’ve got to do it well.”

Even if it’s done well, a virtual school probably isn’t the answer for every high school student who needs an alternative to a traditional school. That’s why the Lawrence district needs to work not only with academic programs but with various mental health programs, including those connected with Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center to help those students get on track to graduating or receiving their GEDs. Giving up on the virtual high school may be an option for the Lawrence district, but giving up on those local students is not.

What is alternative to two-state plan?

The prospects for reaching an Israeli-Palestinian deal by John Kerry’s April 29 deadline are about as unlikely as Vladimir Putin’s giving up Crimea.

The secretary of state probably wishes he never launched his quixotic campaign for Mideast peace a year ago. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ Monday meeting with President Obama at the White House only illustrated the unbridgeable gulf between Israeli and Palestinian positions.

But Kerry was right to warn in April that “if we do not succeed now, we may not get another chance.”

The failure of these talks would signify it’s no longer possible to reach a two-state solution — a state of Palestine beside Israel.

This formula has been the basis of peace talks for more than two decades, and no one has come up with a realistic formula to replace it.

That’s why there is a desperate need for fresh thinking about what to do if it dies.

Of course, it’s hard to think of a time less likely to produce a final agreement between Palestinians and Israel. The Arab world is in disarray, and there is an ongoing struggle within Islam.

The strong Arab neighbors that Israel would require to guarantee the future of a weak Palestinian state no longer exist. And the issue of Iran’s nuclear program looms over all.

Two-state prospects dim But the reason the twostate solution has become passe goes deeper than the press of current events. It has to do with the passage

So it’s unsurprising that the younger generation is more skeptical about two states than their parents.

The two-state solution is still the most popular option on both sides, but that support is waning.”

There’s no room to list all the reasons the Oslo Accord failed, including Palestinian suicide bombers and Israel’s vast settlement project on the West Bank. Suffice it to say that today, Palestinians and Israelis are mostly cut off from each other by walls and fences, and their youths rarely meet, except at Israeli military checkpoints.

Younger people skeptical So it’s unsurprising that the younger generation is more skeptical about two states than their parents.

The two-state solution is still the most popular option on both sides, but that support is waning. A poll

by Zogby Research Services showed barely one-third of Israelis and Palestinians believe a two-state solution is feasible, while younger Israelis take harder-line positions than their elders.

A similar generation gap emerged from a December poll by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research; it found that while 65 percent of Palestinians over 50 still supported the twostate idea, only 47 percent of those 18-34 did.

The Times wrote that Abbas’ own son Tareq, an apolitical businessman, has told his father that current negotiations are futile; he is part of a growing number of prominent Palestinians, many under 45, who argue they should seek equal rights as citizens inside one state stretching from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea.

of time and changed facts on the ground.

The generation of Palestinians and Israelis that negotiated the Oslo accords in 1993 had faith in the twostate concept. Its strongest Palestinian advocates had served years in Israeli prisons as secular Fatah activists and knew Hebrew. They believed two states was the best deal the Palestinians would get.

Israeli activists and intellectuals had long contacts with their counterparts, at a time when Palestinians could travel freely inside Israel and vice versa. Unlike now, peace negotiators were discussing the nuts and bolts of ending the conflict: for example, how to divide Jerusalem into two capitals, and how to resettle hundreds of thousands of Palestinian ref- Other options This brings us to the opugees in third countries.

If Palestinians got full rights cient history now.

inside a single state, its Arab citizens would soon outnumber (and out-vote) Jewish Israelis. That would mean the end of the Jewish homeland and would guarantee permanent civil war.

A hawkish Israeli version of the one-state solution is equally unrealistic; it argues that Palestinians would be satisfied to live without political rights in cantons essentially controlled by Israelis.

The one-state solution is a nonstarter: Either Israel would remain an eternal occupier or it would no longer be a Jewish state.

Some Israelis have suggested the country unilaterally withdraw from populated areas of the West Bank, but this would solve little; those areas would be economically and politically unviable, becoming hotbeds of protest or rockets, as happened with Gaza. Others argue that Jordan might be persuaded to take control of segments of the West Bank; that hoary idea is anathema to Jordan’s monarch and people.

So Obama was not off base when he told the Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg: “I have not yet heard ... a persuasive vision of how Israel survives as a democracy and a Jewish state ... in the absence of ... a two-state solution. Nobody has presented me a credible scenario.”

The problem is that there is none, which is why the negotiators may ultimately produce a vague framework that keeps the talks going, to buy time to figure out what to do if they end.

Life spent promoting hate was a waste And what shall we say now that the monster has died?

His estranged sons Mark and Nate told the world just a few days ago that their 84-year-old father, Fred Phelps, was in the care of a hospice and “on the edge of death.” Thursday morning, he went over the edge.

The senior Phelps, of course, was the founder of Westboro Baptist “Church” in Topeka. He was the “God hates” guy.

As in “God hates China” (its divorce rates are too high), “God hates Islam” (for being a false religion),

“

But as most of us are not sorry, some of us are not glad, either.

What we feel is probably best described as a certain dull pity.”

“God hates Qatar” (for being rich) “God hates the media” (for saying mean things about Westboro), “God hates Tuvalu” (for having too many holidays), “God hates America” (for tolerating homosexuality) and, of course, most notoriously, “God hates fags” — Phelps’ odious word for gay men and lesbians.

He was also the man who applauded the deaths of American soldiers and picketed their funerals, under the dubious formulation that their dying represented God’s judgment upon this country.

Westboro is a tiny “church”

— hate group, actually — said to draw its membership almost exclusively from Phelps’ extended family. His sons say Phelps was excommunicated from it last year for some reason, which the “church” refused to confirm or deny, saying its “membership issues are private.” For what it’s worth, last week Phelps was conspicuous by his near absence from Westboro’s website, which once displayed his words and image prominently.

Now the monster is gone.

What shall we say?

The people hurt and maligned by Phelps didn’t wait for his actual expiration to begin answering that question. They started days ago when his sons announced that his end was near. One woman tweeted about Death needing rubber gloves to touch the body. Another woman set up a “Fred Phelps Death Watch” on Facebook, the tone of which can be inferred from one posting depicting feces in a toilet as a photo of Phelps in hospice care.

After his death, one per-

son tweeted the hope that “his final hours were filled with immense physical pain and horrifying hallucinations.”

You can hardly blame people for not being prostrate with grief. This man cheered the lynching of a young gay man in Wyoming. He turned the funerals of American military personnel into circuses. It is hard to imagine anyone more loathsome, despicable and justifiably reviled than he.

And yet it is also hard not to feel saddened by this reaction, diminished by it.

If one is a Christian as Phelps claimed to be, one may hear the voice of Jesus arising from conscience: “A new command I give you: Love one another.”

And you may demand an exemption from that command, because being asked to love the spectacularly unlovable Phelps is just too much. But if you love only the lovable, what’s the point? What does that say or prove? Indeed, loving the unlovable pretty much

constitutes God’s job description.

Even beyond the obligations imposed by faith, though, there is something troubling in the idea that some of us willingly become what we profess to abhor, adopt extremist hatred in protest of extremist hatred.

As Martin Luther King Jr. famously put it: “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”

It is hard to imagine that anyone beyond, perhaps, his immediate family, is sorry Fred Phelps is dead. And that is probably the truest barometer of his life and its value. But as most of us are not sorry, some of us are not glad, either. What we feel is probably best described as a certain dull pity.

Phelps was given the gift, the incandescent miracle, of being alive in this world for over 80 years — and he wasted it, utterly.

If God hates anything, surely God hates that.

Belbek Air Base, Crimea — Ukraine’s armed forces took what may prove to be one of their final stands Saturday in Crimea, as proRussian forces stormed and seized control of an air force base amid a barrage of gunfire and explosions.

A tense blockade of the Belbek air base that has endured for more than a week looked set for an inevitable culmination following the seizure of one Ukrainian-held military facility after another in recent days.

It was the last major Ukrainian military facility in Crimea to fall into the hands of pro-Russian forces. The Ukrainian

Defense Ministry hasn’t provided details of how many bases it still controls on the peninsula.

Crimea residents voted last week to secede from Ukraine and join Russia — a process that was formalized this week with the blessing of President Vladimir Putin. The vote, which was held under condition akin to martial law under the gaze of apparently Moscow-led militia forces, has been rejected as illegitimate by the international community.

The assault on the Belbek base mirrored events at other Ukrainian-held military facilities on the peninsula in recent days.

In footage provided by the Ukrainian Defense ministry, a Russian-made BTR-80 armored personnel carrier could be seen

smashing open a front gate at Belbek, a base across the bay from the port city of Sevastopol.

APCs crashed through walls at two other locations and were followed by armed personnel, who advanced in crouching position as they secured the area. Four BTR-80s were involved in the assault, Ukrainian officials said.

Ukrainian troops offered no resistance. Later, a separate motley group arrived at the scene. The crowd appeared to be made up of professional soldiers, members of a recently-formed militia unit and Cossacks.

The cause of the explosions wasn’t immediately clear, although Ukrainian officials said they were stun grenades used to disperse any potential resistance.

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia — While possible clues about the fate of a Malaysia Airlines jet missing for more than two weeks keep coming from satellite images, it was as frustrating as ever Saturday to turn the hints from space into actual sightings.

China released a satellite image showing an object floating in a remote stretch of the southern Indian Ocean near where planes and ships have been crisscrossing since similar images from an Australian satellite emerged earlier in the week. China’s image, showing an object that appeared to be 72 feet by 43 feet was taken around noon Tuesday.

Australian officials said the location was within the 14,000-square-mile area they searched on Saturday, but the object was not found.

Appeals court halts Mich. gay marriages Mason, Mich. — Samesex couples rushed to Michigan county clerk’s offices Saturday to get hitched a day after a judge overturned the state’s constitutional ban on gay marriage, and several hundred managed to do so before an appeals court reinstituted the ban, at least temporarily.

The order by a federal appeals court in Cincinnati came after Glenna DeJong, 53, and Marsha Caspar, 51, of Lansing, were the first to arrive at the Ingham County Courthouse in the

for 27 years, received their license and were married

by Ingham County Clerk Barb Byrum.

Later Saturday, the Sixth U.S. Circuit Court COURTS of Appeals froze until at least Wednesday a decision by a lower court judge to overturn Michigan’s ban.

The appeals court said the time-out will “allow a more reasoned consideration” of the state’s request to stop same-sex marriages.

Gifts from the Hive Where would we be without the honeybee? By Heather Pratt, MNT

T

he gifts of the honeybee are many. Through their tireless work of gathering nectar and pollen and caring for the hive and its inhabitants, bees enhance our health through the products they create and as the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most valuable pollinators. You may not think of fruits, vegetables, and nuts and seeds as the product of bees, but you shouldâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;bees are an integral part of todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food industry, and through pollination, are responsible for bringing many healthy and GHOLFLRXV IRRGV WR \RXU WDEOH %HHV ZRUN LQ V\QHUJ\ ZLWK Ă&#x20AC;RZHULQJ SODQWV DV they gather the nectar and pollen they need to feed themselves, they also spread pollen so plants can reproduce.

Today most of the almonds, blueberries, watermelon, cherries, avocados, cranberries, oranges, peaches, and raspberries grown in the United States are dependent on bees for pollination. Other valuable crops helped out by the bees include macadamia nuts, Brazil nuts, kiwi fruits, and coffee. Thirty percent of the food we eat is a result of the pollination work of beesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one out of every three bites you take!

Besides the gift of an abundance of foods made possible by the honeybee, humans throughout the ages have revered bees for the gifts obtained directly from the hive. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good reason bees have long been considered magical creatures, not only is honey delicious, but along with bee pollen, propolis, and royal jelly, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good for us.

Honey

Honey is certainly the best known gift from the bees. Made from the sweet QHFWDU IURP Ă&#x20AC;RZHULQJ SODQWV FROOHFWHG E\ WKH ZRUNHU EHHV LW VHUYHV DV IRRG IRU the hive. Although its main claim to fame is as a delicious natural sweetener, honey is so much more. It contains small amounts of numerous vitamins and PLQHUDOV DQG DQWLR[LGDQWV WKDW ÂżJKW IUHH UDGLFDOV %XW ZKDW UHDOO\ PDNHV KRQH\ special is its ability to inhibit or destroy a wide variety of bacteria, fungi, and viruses, including Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans. Because honey is mostly sugar, it draws water. When applied topically, such as to a wound, this osmotic activity inhibits the growth of bacteria. The moisture it draws also activates an enzyme which in turn leads to the creation of hydrogen peroxide.

Honey supplies a slow-release, low-level source of hydrogen peroxide that is capable of killing microbes without damaging healthy tissue. Topically honey has been used successfully to treat eczema, psoriasis, fungal infections, dandruff, and cold sores as well as aiding in the healing of a variety of wounds DQG EXUQV +RQH\ LV DOVR EHQHÂżFLDO ZKHQ WDNHQ LQWHUQDOO\ HYHU DGGHG KRQH\ to hot tea to soothe a sore throat?).

Bee Pollen

While popular with the health food crowd, bee pollen has never quite caught

on with the general public. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too bad because bee pollen is pretty amazing stuff. Made by honeybees from a combination of pollen grains and nectar, bee pollen, or â&#x20AC;&#x153;bee bread,â&#x20AC;? is a protein-rich food source for the hive. It is chock full of nutrition, supplying protein, vitamins (including the B vitamins and vitamins C, E, D, and K), minerals (including calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and zinc), and fatty acids. Local bee pollen has long been recommended for allergy relief by desensitizing the body to pollens in the area. In Chinese medicine bee pollen is considered an energy and nutritive tonic. :KLOH WKH HIIHFWV RI EHH SROOHQ YDU\ JUHDWO\ GHSHQGLQJ RQ WKH Ă&#x20AC;RZHU IURP ZKLFK LW ZDV REWDLQHG UHVHDUFK KDV VKRZQ WKDW VRPH YDULHWLHV SRVLWLYHO\ LQĂ&#x20AC;XHQFH ERQH EXLOGLQJ LQGXFH JHQHV UHVSRQVLEOH IRU GHWR[LÂżFDWLRQ DQG PD\ HYHQ support apoptosis (cell death) of certain tumor cells.

NCAA TOURNAMENT • ROUND OF 32

Curtain call

KANSAS UNIVERSITY FORWARD TARIK BLACK WALKS THROUGH A CURTAIN to the Jayhawks’ closed practice on Saturday at Scottrade Center in St. Louis. KU will face Stanford at 11:15 a.m. today in the NCAA Tournament’s Round of 32.

Traylor, Kansas face big test of brawn, brain

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

KANSAS FORWARD JAMARI TRAYLOR TALKS WITH MEDIA MEMBERS about the matchup against Stanford on Saturday.

“

… Kansas by far is the most athletic acrossthe-board team we’ve played.”

— Stanford’s John Gage

St. Louis — Kansas University power forward Jamari Traylor admits Stanford has a size advantage on the Joel Embiid-less Jayhawks entering today’s 11:15 a.m., NCAA Tournament Round of 32 game in Scottrade Center.

But Traylor — KU’s 6-foot-8, 220-pound redshirt sophomore, who will go against the likes of 6-11 Stefan Nastic, 6-10 Dwight Powell and 6-10 John Gage — bristles at any assertion the Cardinal players have

supremacy in brain power over his Jayhawks.

Stanford, of course, is considered one of the finest academic institutions in the land.

“I mean, I got a 23 on my ACT if that counts for anything,” Traylor said with a smile.

Owner of an impressive standardized-test score, Traylor says the Jayhawks, even without 7-footer Embiid, have enough brawn to test the Cardinal big men.

“Everybody knows they have to give about 10 percent more to fill that void,” Traylor said, referring to his

teammates making up for the absence of Embiid, who has been ruled out for today’s game and is questionable for the Sweet 16 if KU makes it that far.

“We’d love to get him back as soon as we can. Everybody knows we have to step it up a bit.”

He erupted for a careerhigh 17 points and careerbest 14 rebounds in Friday’s 80-69 NCAA-opening victory over Eastern Kentucky.

“We’ve got to be focused and block those guys out.

They are a big group of

KU needs to keep up its dunking ways St. Louis — At the time an MRI revealed a stress fracture in the lower back of Kansas University freshman center Joel Embiid, he led his team with 31 dunks.

That’s one area in which the Jayhawks have not slowed down without the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year.

KU had eight of its 11 dunks in the second half of an 80-69 victory Friday against Eastern Kentucky. One in particular, sophomore forward Jamari Traylor’s off a missed free throw, triggered the symbiotic energy flow between athletes and spectators.

Alley-oops are responsible

for many of KU’s dunks, and it has been that way for a long time.

Stanford, the underdog in today’s 11:15 a.m. tipoff vs.

KU, knows what to expect.

“UCLA and Arizona throw a lot of lobs, a lot,” Cardinal reserve center John Gage said, “although Kansas by far is the most

athletic across-the-board team we’ve played.”

Loud dunks trigger passionate audience participation.

“It definitely fires them up, and their crowd is going to be loud,” Gage said.

Escobar, Vargas propel Royals Surprise, Ariz. (ap) — Alcides Escobar went 3-for-3 with three RBIs, and Jason Vargas pitched seven strong innings to help the Kansas City Royals beat the Texas Rangers, 8-4, Saturday.

Joakim Soria was told before the game he would be Texas’ closer. He gave up his first run of spring training in the eighth.

Escobar hit a bases-clearing double in the Royals’ five-run second inning. Escobar also doubled in the fifth and scored on Justin Maxwell’s homer.

“He was really good with the bat and glove today,” Royals manager Ned Yost said.

Vargas scattered eight hits over seven innings, allowing one run, while walking one and striking out five.

“Overall, it was a good day,” Vargas said. “Kept some innings from being prolonged.

They are going to get on base.

That’s how the game is, but you can’t dwell on it. The key is to make that pitch to get you out of the inning. I was able to get up close to 100 pitches without feeling really fatigued, so that’s a good sign.”

Tommy Hanson, who is bidding for a Rangers’ rotation spot, gave up seven runs on seven hits and three walks in 52⁄3 innings.

“It’s never a good time to go out there and have that performance,” Hanson said. “Spring is coming to an end and obviously I wish I’d thrown better and have had more balls down.

But I didn’t.”

Rangers rookie Michael Choice hit a three-run homer in the eighth and raised his average to .340.

Starting time Rangers: Hanson threw 96 pitches, 56 for strikes, in 52⁄3 innings. His ERA jumped to 6.43.

Royals: Vargas lowered his ERA to 2.14, throwing 63 strikes in 96 pitches.

“Vargas was really good,” Yost said. “He got us through seven innings under 100 pitches. That’s a perfect scenario right there. He gives up a hit and he gets back on the mound and makes pitches.

He’s real efficient with his pitches. His command is really, really good, as good as anybody we’ve got at painting those corners.”

Duffy falters Royals left-hander Danny Duffy, attempting to earn a bullpen spot after failing to make the rotation, walked two and gave up Choice’s three-run homer in his only inning.

Trainer’s room Royals: Omar Infante (right elbow bone spur) remains sidelined. “I think Omar’s going to be ready,” Yost said. “If he has another hiccup, he won’t be. But if everything is going to plan, he’ll be ready for opening day.”

ADAM SCOTT TEES OFF ON THE FIFTH HOLE during the third round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational on Saturday at Bay Hill in Orlando, Fla.

Scott’s lead sliced to three at Palmer tourney Orlando, Fla. — Adam Scott still had the lead at Bay Hill on Saturday. At least five other players suddenly have a realistic chance at winning.

Scott, who started the third round with a seven-shot lead, missed three par putts inside eight feet and had to settle for a 1-under 71, which narrowed his lead to three shots over Keegan Bradley going into the final round at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland shot a 70 and was at 2-under 214, tied for 36th, 13 strokes back.

The greens were firmer than ever after three days of sunshine, though the pins were accessible and allowed for good scoring. Several players took advantage. Scott did not. His score was helped by a pair of long birdie putts on the back nine.

Bradley’s approach to the 18th narrowly cleared the rocks that frame the lake, leaving him a four-foot birdie putt for a 6-under 66. He will be paired with Scott in the final round, with much at stake for both of them.

A victory for Scott should push him to No. 1 in the world when he arrives at Augusta National to defend his title in the Masters. Bradley hasn’t won anywhere in the world since the Bridgestone Invitational in 2012.

Scott was at 15-under 201.

Bradley isn’t the only player who now has a chance.

Matt Every (66) and Jason Kokrak (67) were four shots behind, both going for their first PGA Tour victory. Chesson Hadley and Francesco Molinari of Italy each had a 69 and were another shot behind. Hadley, who won the Puerto Rico Open two weeks ago, can qualify for the Masters with a high finish. He likely would need to be in sixth place or better to be solidly inside the top 50 in the world.

GOLF

Two share Champions lead Saucier, Miss. — Billy Andrade shot a 7-under 65 to share the lead with Fred Funk after the second round of the Mississippi Gulf Resort Classic at Fallen Oak on Saturday.

Andrade had the low round of the day, capping it with a 20-foot birdie putt on 18. Funk shot a 67.

The 50-year-old Andrade is playing in just his fourth Champions Tour event. His best finish was eighth place at the ACE Group Classic in February.

PRO BASKETBALL

Lakers’ Henry injures wrist El Segundo, Calif. — Los Angeles Lakers guard Xavier Henry has a torn ligament in his left wrist.

Henry, a former Kansas University player, will be examined by a hand specialist on Monday, the Lakers announced Saturday night.

Henry was injured in Friday’s game against Washington, and an MRI revealed the tear. He scored 12 points while playing more than 23 minutes against the Wizards.

Injuries have badly hindered Henry’s otherwise successful first season with the Lakers.

Henry is averaging 10.1 points and 2.8 rebounds but only returned March 3 after a 28game absence with a right knee injury. He had been out since Dec. 29.

Gooden fined $15,000 New York — Washington forward Drew Gooden has been fined $15,000 by the NBA for attempting to throw the Lakers’ Nick Young to the floor during the Wizards’ victory Friday night.

League president of operations Rod Thorn said Saturday that Gooden committed an unnecessary act when he clamped Young’s arm with 2:14 remaining in the game.

Gooden, a Kansas University product, was called for a flagrant 2 foul and automatically ejected.

SOCCER

Sporting KC wins, 1-0 Kansas City, Kan. — Dom Dwyer scored on a penalty kick in the 57th minute, lifting Sporting Kansas City over San Jose, 1-0, on Saturday night.

Dwyer’s goal was the first by a forward in 564 minutes for Sporting (1-1-1), a streak dating to last year’s Eastern Conference semifinals.

San Jose (0-1-1) managed just one shot on goal, and Kansas City keeper Eric Kronberg recorded his first shutout of the year.

Dodgers stop D’backs in Australia Sydney (ap) — Clayton Kershaw flashed his Cy Young form, Scott Van Slyke homered and the Los Angeles Dodgers, opened the Major League Baseball season with a 3-1 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday night at Sydney Cricket Ground.

A crowd of about 40,000 watched as MLB played its first regular-season game in Australia.

Kershaw, who signed a seven-year, $215 million contract in January, allowed one run and five hits in 62⁄3 innings.

Van Slyke hit a two-run homer and also doubled.

The first pitch was delayed because of rain for 14 minutes.

The long trip Down Under took even longer for some Arizona players. A team bus had a flat tire, and the Diamondbacks said “a handful” of players decided to walk the last half-mile

KANSAS BASEBALL

KU clips Dartmouth

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Kansas University’s baseball team struggled to score runs during its recent road trips. Home, sweet home has changed all of that.

For the second straight day, the Jayhawks pounded Dartmouth pitching, and junior Dakota Smith powered the middle of the order.

Smith drilled a grand slam in the sixth inning, his first home run of the season, to help lead the Jayhawks to an 11-7 victory over Dartmouth on Saturday afternoon at Hoglund Ballpark. Senior Tucker Tharp followed Smith’s grand slam with a solo home run, giving KU its first back-to-back home runs since March 8, 2009.

“I’ve been putting some good swings on the ball. Everybody has,” said Smith, who went 2-for-5 with a career-high five RBIs after going 3-for-5 with three RBIs on Friday. “I think this weekend, everybody is starting to get the base hits that they needed, so it’s a good thing.”

KU picked up 31 hits and scored 24 runs over the past two games.

Trailing by one run in the sixth, Aaron Hernandez and Colby Wright both hit singles before junior Michael Suiter drilled a double to score Hernandez and tie the game. Two batters later, Smith smashed an elevated fastball over the right-center wall with a little help from strong winds.

“He’s the best fastball hitter on our team, so it was good to see him up

The Big Green (2-9) led 4-1 until the Jayhawks (16-7) scored three runs on four hits in the bottom of the third inning. Junior Blair Beck tied the game with a two-out, two-run single.

“It’s nice to see us getting two-out RBIs,” Price said. “That’s the biggest stat in the game. We were unbelievable the first four weeks (of the season) with that. It’s nice to see guys having quality at-bats with runners in scoring position.”

In the fourth, Beck made a diving catch on an attempted bunt after Dartmouth put its first two batters on base. Following a strikeout, the 5-foot-11 first baseman made a diving stop to his right on a sharply hit ground ball that would have scored a run if it had gone into the outfield.

“Beck’s been awesome,” Price said. “He’s been absolutely special.”

LHS baseball rallies for victory Guthrie, Okla. — Lawrence High’s baseball team overcame an 11-run deficit and defeated Putnam City North, 13-12, on Saturday.

Drew Green hit a oneout, two-run triple to tie the game at 12 in the bottom of the seventh. Alex Smith then singled with one out to score Green with the winning run.

Putnam City scored eight runs in the second inning and led 12-1 after three innings.

Michael Sinks helped get the Lions’ comeback started with a three-run home run. Sinks went 4-for-5 with four RBIs. “It was pretty discouraging after an eight-run second,” LHS coach Brad Stoll said. “Our inability to throw strikes and play defense was brutal, to be honest with you. But we kept hitting the ball hard.

Then we started making pitches and playing better defense, and the bats really started going.”

Brad Kincaid (1-0) pitched the final two innings for the victory.

The Lions will play Friday night at Topeka Seaman.

4-for-5, drove in junior Justin Protacio, who drew a leadoff walk, with a double in the seventh inning.

“If (Suiter) doesn’t hit, we’re not going to score,” Price said. “Your threehole hitter has to be productive. He’s had two really good days in a row, and he’s got his average up over .350 now (.358).

He makes our whole offense go.”

Suiter, who went 4-for20 (.200) on the last two Lawrence 13, road trips, added: “I think Putnam City North 12 City 183 000 0 — 12 6 5 it’s just being home, be- Putnam Lawrence 100 233 4 — 13 14 5 ing relaxed a little bit.

Cardinal handed Self first KU loss

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

St. Louis — Kansas University’s basketball team holds an 8-2 series advantage against Stanford. Yet in the last meeting, the Cardinal defeated the Jayhawks, 64-58, on Dec. 6, 2003, in Anaheim, Calif.

It was Bill Self’s fourth game as coach

of the Jayhawks and his first loss.

“I remember Mike Montgomery was the coach, and we go out there for the Wooden Classic with Kentucky and UCLA on the other half,” Self said Friday.

“They controlled the game from start to finish. (Josh) Childress was on that team. It was the year they were a No.

1 seed and had a great year. They’ve always had good players and always had good teams and always had size, it seems like. And certainly this year is no exception.”

KU will meet coach Johnny Dawkins’ Cardinal at 11:15 a.m. today in Scottrade Center.

“I think he is one of the classiest people that we

have in our profession, whether it be head coach, assistant coach, athletic director, trainer, academic person. You know, he epitomizes class,” Self said of Duke graduate Dawkins. “He conducts himself that way, and he always has.

“I think they did some study, some poll, that Danny (Manning, former KU standout, cur-

rent Tulsa coach) was the best player that is coaching in the tournament, and Johnny was the second-best player that is coaching in the tournament. And this guy was national Player of the Year and led Duke to the Final Four before Duke was going to Final Fours.

“To see a guy that experienced, with that

much success on the hardwood, then to come basically do the things that assistant coaches have to do, like Danny did as well, and to be totally humble in how you conduct your business, when you don’t have to do that unless you are in the business of helping kids, I think is pretty cool. He’s been great for our game.”

guys, but we will not change our game plan, just play our game,” said Traylor, who was mobbed by reporters for a half hour during Saturday’s media session in Scottrade Center.

He indicated there’s no danger he’ll let the EKU game inflate his ego entering today’s contest.

“I don’t get too high about the game yesterday. It’s only one game,” Traylor said. “I’ve gotten a couple texts. I’m happy everybody I know is trying to reach out to me.

(But) it’s not hard to stay focused. I know what I have to do. Everybody wants to win so bad, it’s not hard to stay focused.

“If I play hard, I probably could,” he added of matching or surpassing his Game One numbers.

“I’m not going to say I can’t. If I go in with that aggressive mind-set, I’ll probably be better.

“Anything’s possible.”

That’s been one of his mottos in coming such a long way in a short period of time.

He was peppered with questions Saturday about his high school days in which he was homeless in Chicago. He ultimately left the Windy City to play basketball his senior year (2010-11) at IMG Academy in Florida.

“Not many people get a chance to do what I can do right now. A lot of people in Chicago don’t even make it to college.

I’m happy where I am,” Traylor said of KU and the NCAAs. The numbers he put up while playing just 22 minutes Friday have opened some eyes about how far Traylor has come since IMG, where he was

STANFORD FORWARD JOSH HUESTIS ANSWERS A QUESTION during a news conference next to center Stefan Nastic. a lightly recruited player competing on a team with a batch of major-college prospects.

One of Traylor’s KU teammates, Christian Garrett, attended IMG at the same time.

“Back then, I would have been shocked at the midrange jumper he’s developed. That’s new … but he’s been making that this whole year (at practice),” Garrett said of the 15-foot jump shot Traylor cashed against Eastern Kentucky on a day he hit seven of eight shots.

“He was an athlete,” Garrett recalled of Traylor, who attracted the attention of KU coaches Self and Kurtis Townsend while they were recruiting IMG’s DeAndre Daniels.

“He was too quick for post players to guard.

He was a tough matchup.

Obviously, that’s translated over. He’s added a lot more to his game. His footwork has gotten a lot better. He can shoot. He can dribble and pass a little bit, too. It’s kind of do it all. He’s a beast.”

“He’s a freak of nature athletically,” noted senior pivot Tarik Black. “He can be a star and a starter (in future). He’s capable of that. He’s shown it during the season. It’s a matter of opportunity. He’s always taken advantage of his opportunities.”

Today against Stanford, he gets to play in front of his mom, Tracey, who has seen a handful of his college games thus far and is making the fourhour drive from Chicago for this one.

Traylor can’t promise her a repeat of Friday.

He can promise a repeat of the effort he gave.

“I tried to bring energy,” Traylor said.

“The ball found energy (Friday). That’s a little saying we just learned from the San Francisco 49ers coach (Jim Harbaugh, who spoke to KU’s team recently). He told us, ‘The ball finds energy.’ I played with a lot of energy, and things happened, good plays happened. I never back down. No challenge is too big.”

As far as today’s challenge ... “I’m going to play with energy. I’m going to fight. I’m not going to lay down just because they are a little bigger than me. This is not the first time and won’t be the last time I play against somebody bigger than me. I’m blessed to be out there with my teammates. We’ll be focused.

We’ll be ready.”

NOTEBOOK

Jayhawks say early tipoff no problem

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Today’s early tipoff doesn’t bother Kansas University coach Bill Self one bit.

“When they told me 11:15, I thought, ‘Damn,’ because I know our players would. But then I thought, ‘Well, what is (Stanford coach) Johnny (Dawkins) saying?’ You know, they will have pregame meal at 5:15 their time (Pacific). But they have been over here long enough. ... I think both teams will be awake, alert and ready to go.”

Noted KU’s Wayne Selden: “Thinking back to even the Georgetown game, we played at 11, we played pretty well (86-64 KU victory). It is just a point of waking up. Getting up early, getting a

good breakfast in you and just playing basketball, because that’s what we love to do.”

Added Andrew Wiggins: “I think we’re used to it. Sometimes we practice early. We had a couple of early games this year. So like Wayne said, we just have to have a good breakfast, get a lot of sleep the night before and just be ready to play early.” l

Early scout: Self wasn’t thrilled when a reporter informed him that it appeared Wiggins and Selden did not know anything about Stanford’s Chasson Randle.

“That’s not true, but we haven’t gone over personnel with our guys yet,” Self said. “That’s not fair to our guys to ask something that we haven’t

passed out scout reports and things like that on yet. We know he’s good.

Of course, he is averaging 18.9 (points) a game.

If you want to know anything about him, you can probably ask me, because he is 18.9 overall and 18.7 in league, and the kid can do a lot of things. And Powell (Dwight) is 14.9 overall, 14.1 in league. Our guys will be very, very aware of them. But for them to know every individual, things like that, especially something they are not going to be guarding, at least matched up on, I think it is a little unfair because we haven’t gone over personnel yet.” l

On Conner: Self was asked if he would be confident in going to Conner Frankamp at backup point guard early follow-

ing Frankamp’s careerhigh 10 points and four assists against Eastern Kentucky: “Conner performing like he did yesterday and being a solid guy for us, and basically calming our team some I think gives me a lot of confidence to go with him earlier. And he certainly will be part of our rotation,” he said. l

Injuries: Self ruled freshman center Joel Embiid (stress fracture, back) out for today’s game and said senior Justin Wesley was questionable because of a foot sprain. l

Self was asked if he’d like to watch the Wichita State-Kentucky game: “It’s an interesting scenario. You have Wichita State, who has had ‘the year.’ Nobody can deny

that. They had as good a year that college basketball has seen in recent memory,” Self said. “And then you have one of the truest blue bloods that has the reputation and all those sorts of things in young talent, that they will be battling each other. And it should be a fun game. I think it will be a fun game to watch.

And if I do watch any of it, I will watch it strictly as a neutral observer and enjoy every moment. Because it could be very cool. But our focus isn’t thinking about that. We’ve got our own business, what we need to tend to and hopefully tend to very well.”

Tournament: “After my first college game I just felt more relaxed, because the first college game I was fighting nerves a lot, but I never felt as much nerves as I did the first game, so it has all cooled down now,” he said.

Noted Self: “I remember him saying how nervous he was then. But I still think they get butterflies. Whatever a guy says that he’s calm and doesn’t feel certain things, I don’t know if I totally buy into it. I don’t think that maybe nervousness is maybe what they feel as much as anxiousness or butterflies. Certainly he feels that. But he’s been pretty remarkable on how evenl keeled he has been. The highs not too high and Jitters: Wiggins was the lows don’t ever get asked about jitters in too low. He has been very his first and only NCAA steady.”

team. We’re Stanford.

We know that two points is two points. You just have to keep playing, move on, next-play mentality.”

Stanford always has smart players. Too smart to assume that freshman center Embiid can be counted out of today’s game 100 percent?

“You always want to play teams at their best,” Gage said Saturday. “You hate to see a guy as good as he is be injured this time of year. Hopefully, he’ll be back tomorrow.

I mean, I don’t know his current health situation. I believe he’s out. It would be great if he could come back. If not, we’ll play them either way.”

It might shock much of the world if Embiid were to play today, but not the opposition.

“We expect anything and everything,” Gage said. “I guess we’d be surprised, yes, but we’re game-planning for him in the game and him out of the game. Both ways.”

Interesting.

Regardless, much of what Stanford must do to limit KU’s dunks starts on the perimeter anyway.

“I think a lot of what it comes down to is help, and furthermore, help the helper,” Gage said.

KANSAS GUARD FRANK MASON, CENTER, LEANS IN as Naadir Tharpe, left, and Wayne Selden answer questions from media members in the team locker room Saturday in St. Louis.

“You help up. You’ve got to take away the drive.

That’s what they’re going to do, they’re going to drive all night. You have to trust that my guys, Dwight (Powell), Josh (Huestis), are going to be there and be able to take away the oop.”

Doing so is tougher than it sounds.

“We’ve got guys who can drive the ball and unselfish bigs, guys who can pass it big-to-big at times, and that’s pretty much it,” Jamari Traylor said, explaining how Kansas gets so many dunks. “Someone drives, someone steps up to help, and we have unselfish guys who are going to

make the pass, and bigs who can get up and finish at the rim.”

Nobody gets up higher than Andrew Wiggins, who leads the team with 35 dunks. Who gets up next-highest?

“I think I’m second,” Traylor said. “Maybe Tarik (Black.)”

When one player gets up high enough to hammer one down, everybody gets up emotionally. Dunks definitely pep up a tired team and can deflate the guys on the other side.

“It pumps energy into the building,” Traylor said. “It gets everybody motivated, fired up, gets the crowd into it, a

little momentum boost.

Sometimes, teams don’t know how to adjust to it.

We want to get as many dunks as we can.”

Black had four secondhalf dunks in the victory against tough-to-shake Eastern Kentucky.

“The dunk is a basketball play that gets everybody hyper,” Black said. “It gets everybody going, gets juices flowing, so it definitely helps our team. We had a lot of good dunks (vs. the Colonels). That’s what kept us going and attacking them.”

Dunks are not only the highest-percentage shots in basketball, they echo the longest and loudest.

Canada: It’s not just hockey anymore ————

Kansas’ Wiggins, Stanford’s Nastic, Powell native Canadians

By Matt Tait

DANCIN’ CANADIANS

mtait@ljworld.com

St. Louis — In 2002, Denham Brown, a high school player in Toronto, scored 111 points in a game, making 41 field goals and 16 three-pointers. Legend has it, the future UConn star’s achievement was relegated to the back pages of the Toronto papers because the Maple Leafs had a hockey game that night.

“Yeah, I know about it,” Kansas University freshman and Toronto native Andrew Wiggins said. “I don’t remember the time when it happened, but I heard about it growing up. He’s like a legend in Toronto.”

Since that time, the sport of basketball has come a long way in America’s neighbor to the north, and today, when second-seeded Kansas University steps onto the floor for an 11:15 a.m. tipoff against 10thseeded Stanford in the Round of 32, 30 percent of the starting lineups will be Canadian, with Wiggins starting for KU and Stefan Nastic and Dwight Powell starting for Stanford.

During the past few days, 33 Canadians — on 19 teams — laced up their sneakers and, in the second round, went 14-5 at the NCAA Tournament, providing more proof of something Kansas basketball fans have learned throughout the 2013-14 season: Canada is no longer just a hockey nation.

“I think right now’s a good time for Canada,” Wiggins said from the KU locker room Saturday afternoon. “I think we always had the talent, but,

STANFORD FORWARD DWIGHT POWELL, A TORONTO NATIVE, TALKS WITH REPORTERS about his familiarity with Kansas guard Andrew Wiggins, also from Toronto, in the team locker room Saturday in St. Louis. right now, just more people are getting the chance to play in front of scouts and getting the chance to go to college in the states and really perform at a high level.”

Although Wiggins is a few years younger than his Stanford counterparts, their paths crossed back in Toronto as developing ballplayers. Powell said he remembered playing with Wiggins a time or two on Canada’s AAU circuit, and Nastic recalled playing against Wiggins in sixth grade, when Wiggins was a third-grader playing up a few levels.

“He’s always been a player that was known as talented and improving,” Nastic said. “He’s had a great attitude and a basketball family, so people were always aware of him.”

While Wiggins-mania has put Canada on the basketball map for Jayhawk fans, several other players around the country have done their part

to elevate the status of Canadian ballers. Syracuse’s Tyler Ennis, Michigan’s Nik Stauskas, Iowa State’s Melvin Ejim, Baylor’s Kenny Chery and Brady Heslip and Gonzaga’s Kevin Pangos were among the best players during the season.

While their play — and, more importantly, their success — has put Canadians on the college basketball radar, Powell said he thought there still was work to do.

“As a young kid, you always had hockey coaches trying to get you to pad up and get on the ice, and it is kind of challenging to combat that stereotype,” the 6-foot-10, 240-pound Powell said. “I don’t think we’ve infiltrated the game enough yet to create our own identity.

Guys are just trying to do what they can to make it and playing hard.”

In the most recent FIBA rankings, Canada came in 26th, but the

three Canadians who will face each other in the Scottrade Center today believe their homeland is poised to rise in the rankings in the years to come.

On Basketball Canada’s official website, the core values and mission of the organization certainly speak to that.

“We are principled, focused and strategic in pursuing our vision,” begins the Basketball Canada mantra. “We are innovative, performance-driven and results-oriented. We believe in the power of team on the court, in our communities and across the country. We take pride in representing Canada to the world.”

While most American players in the KU and Stanford locker rooms said they had not been able to distinguish a signature Canadian style of play the way European players have been labeled with the “Euro game” tag, the Canadians themselves

We take pride in our country, and I’m just excited about the amount of talent and the hard work that’s brought our players to where they are.”

Powell said Canadian native and NBA legend Steve Nash, who is also the general manager of Canada’s senior men’s national team, is the one

Canadian basketball players look up to the most.

And according to Wiggins’ teammates, the brotherhood behind the maple leaf is strong.

Asked how often Wiggins bangs the drum for his home country, KU freshman Brannen Greene told of Wiggins pulling for Ejim to win Big 12 playerof-the-year honors.

“He said if anybody would’ve won it besides him, he wanted it to be Ejim because he was Canadian,” Greene recalled.

“He’s got his little Canadian pride. He’s always talking about Canada and how nice the people are and how he loves Canada.”

MEN’S ROUNDUP

No. 11 Dayton knocks out Syracuse The Associated Press

South Regional No. 11 Dayton 55, No. 3 Syracuse 53 Buffalo, N.Y. — Dyshawn Pierre scored 14 points, and Jordan Sibert, held scoreless in the first half, hit a key three-pointer with 47.7 seconds left as Dayton stunned Syracuse on Saturday night to earn a spot in Sweet 16 for the first time in three decades.

Syracuse was poised to pull out another close victory, but Tyler Ennis missed two jumpers that would have given the Orange the lead in the final seconds.

Dayton (25-10) advances to the regional semifinals next week and will play Kansas or Stanford.

The Orange (28-6), who finished second in their first year in the Atlantic Coast Conference, struggled all game against the swarming Dayton defense, missing all 10 attempts from beyond the arc, while the Flyers hit seven times from long range.

After Sibert stepped out of bounds with 14 seconds left and Dayton up by one, Ennis took a jumper from just inside the three-point line instead of driving the lane as he had all night. The standout freshman finished with 19 points on 7-of-21 shooting, including 0-for-5 on threes.

Syracuse fouled Pierre, and he made one free throw. Ennis rushed down court and missed the potentially winning three as the buzzer sounded.

Sibert finished with 10 points, and Vee Sanford had eight.

BIG 12 WOMEN’S ROUNDUP

Sooners sent home in record scoring game The Associated Press

Lincoln Regional No. 7 DePaul 104, No. 10 Oklahoma 100 Durham, N.C. — Megan Rogowski scored 24 points and hit the goahead three with 40.5 seconds left to help DePaul beat Oklahoma on Saturday in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

The seventh-seeded Blue Demons (28-6) blew a 19-point lead with under 16 minutes left, then rallied for a wild win.

Aaryn Ellenberg had 36 points and seven threes for the 10th-seeded Sooners (18-15), who set a tournament record for most points by a losing team in a regulation game. The 204 combined points also made it the highest-scoring regulation game in the history of the NCAA women’s tournament.

maining in overtime lifted Oklahoma State over Florida Gulf Coast.

The teams traded the lead in OT before Bias’ layup. Florida Gulf Coast (26-8) missed a shot with that would have given the Eagles the lead. Oklahoma State (24-8) was fouled with 3 seconds left, but Liz Donohoe missed the free throw. Florida Gulf Coast had a chance, but Brittney Martin stole the inbounds pass with a second left.

MEN’S NCAA TOURNAMENT

.

L awrence J ournal -W orld

WSU eager for shot at blue-blood Kentucky St. Louis (ap) — Kentucky offered the promise of perfection. Wichita State is in pursuit of it.

The teams will meet today for a spot in the Midwest Regional semifinals.

The eighth-seeded Wildcats are stocked with so much NBA talent that some of their fans brazenly printed up Tshirts that read, “40-0.”

Kentucky went exactly five days before losing its first game.

Meanwhile, the topseeded Shockers are a bunch of small-town kids and overlooked prospects desperately trying not to wake up in a dream season. They’re the team that can actually attain 40-0.

Glam against grit, bluechip against blue-collar.

It’s college basketball royalty against the peasants storming the castle in the kind of showdown that makes March so compelling.

PLAYING ANGRY What: No. 8 seed Kentucky (25-10) vs. No. 1 seed Wichita State (35-0) When: 1:45 p.m. today Where: St. Louis TV: CBS (WOW! Cable chs. 5, 13, 205, 213) “I grew up watching Kentucky basketball. I have some family in the area. I actually made it to a couple of games,” said Ron Baker, part of the Shockers’ Final Four run a year ago. “I don’t know the program that well, but when you hear ‘Kentucky,’ you think basketball.”

The Wildcats (2510) claim eight national championships. They’ve won more games than any other program. Their coach, John Calipari, churns out first-round draft picks like an assembly line.

Prospects like Julius Randle, one of five freshman starters, who had 19 points and 15 boards in a victory over Kansas State Friday.

Or like Aaron Harrison, the Wildcats’ freshman guard, who chipped in 18 points.

“We play to win,” Harrison said. “We’ve had an up-and-down season, but we’re coming together.”

That’s just fine with the Shockers (35-0), who relish the opportunity to take down another one of the game’s marquee names. They’ve spent as much time defending their record as building it this season, and they view a win over a surging Kentucky as a chance to quiet the critics.

“They’ve got a lot of people on their team that are projected to be certain picks in the draft, and have certain futures, but at the same time, they have to play the

game just like we do,” said Cleanthony Early, who had 23 points in Wichita State’s win over Cal Poly Friday.

“I feel like I can play at any level,” he said, “and I’m pretty sure they feel the same way.”

Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall may have provided the best illustration of the differences between the programs when he was asked Saturday about recruiting. Did he even attempt to lure one of Kentucky’s talented freshmen to the old cattle town on the plains?

“I’m not sure,” he said with a smile. “I haven’t checked all the way down to the walk-ons.”

“And a side-note,” Marshall added quickly, “I bet not one player on our team got a form letter from Kentucky. So it’s just a whole different world. And they do what works well for them, and we try to do what works well for us.”

Iowa State prepares for UNC without Niang

Eric Gay/AP Photo

IOWA STATE’S GEORGES NIANG ARRIVES for practice Saturday in San Antonio.

San Antonio (ap) — Iowa State has seen all this before, and it never seems to end well for the Cyclones.

The Big 12 tournament champion steamrolled into today’s third round of the NCAA Tournament, just as it had in its last three appearances.

The Cyclones are facing North Carolina, just as they did in 2005. And they will have to play without an injured starter, just as they did last year when they were eliminated by Ohio State on a buzzerbeater.

Forward Georges Niang, Iowa State’s hottest hand, broke his right

foot in Friday night’s 93-75 win over North Carolina Central. For the third-seeded Cyclones, who haven’t reached the Round of 16 since 2000, it’s another March misfortune after guard Chris Babb watched the heartbreaking loss to Ohio State from the bench because of a sprained ankle.

The Cyclones (27-11) have to find a way to manage without Niang, whom coach Fred Hoiberg on Saturday described as “arguably” their most important player.

“Somebody will step up. They always do in situations like this,” Hoiberg said.

“Coach (Dean) Smith used to say he hated to play somebody when they just lost one of their front-line players because everybody banded together even more and were more motivated and all that kind of thing,” Williams said. “So hate it for that reason, too.”

The Cyclones can still take comfort in still having the Big 12’s player of the year. Melvin Ejim is more than capable of picking up the slack in Iowa State’s otherwise well-balanced offense, dropping 48 points against TCU and 30 points against Kansas State this season.

cent in the final five minutes of games this season.

If that wasn’t enough, Iowa State will sorely miss his size: the 6-foot-7 sophomore towered in a starting lineup that lacks a traditional big man.

North Carolina’s frontcourt is fortified by a trio of 6-foot-9 forwards — Kennedy Meeks, James Michael McAdoo and Brice Johnson — who combined for 44 points in a 79-77 thriller over 11thseeded Providence.

Tar Heels coach Roy Williams cautioned that size becomes a liability when Iowa State spreads the court. He said he hates that Niang can’t play.

Hoiberg said he had not decided who would start for Niang against the sixth-seeded Tar Heels (24-9).

One option is switching to a three-guard starting lineup. Sophomore Naz Long is Iowa State’s top three-point marksman, shooting nearly 58 percent (11-of-19) from long range in his last five games, and has some experience with seven previous starts.

Niang scored 24 points against North Carolina Central and averaged a team-high 18.7 points in the Big 12 tournament. Reliable when it matters most, Niang shot nearly 54 per-

Arthur’s pick? KU, of course

By Paul Klee The Gazette (Colorado Springs, Colo.)

Denver — This is how you start a riot in an NBA locker room: Break out a bracket.

Sure enough, just as I slipped the blank sheet to Nuggets forward Darrell Arthur, the lobbyists infiltrated his locker space, school pride in tow.

“How far you got Baylor?” Quincy Miller wanted to know.

“What about North Carolina?” Ty Lawson hollered from across the room.

Aaron Brooks ducked over with his inquiry: “Where’s Oregon at?”

“They’re up here against BYU,” Arthur said, pointing to the West Region of the NCAA Tournament.

“They lost already. Sorry, they’re done.”

“Wowww,” Brooks said, shooting a glance of disapproval. “You did that?”

He did that.

My man Darrell Arthur has the chops to do that.

He actually won the bracket. Not an office pool, the Warren Buffet $1-billion shindig or a random online challenge.

Arthur won the real bracket. He’s an NCAA champion, a member of the 2008 champs from Kansas. Along with Carolina’s Lawson, Arthur was one of two national champs in the Nuggets locker room prior to Wednesday’s game against the Pistons.

This assignment might be tougher than winning a title was: building the perfect bracket for The Gazette. The NCAA Tournament erupts.

“Let’s do this,” Arthur said.

Yes, let’s do this.

Here’s how a bracket is done, according to a bracket champion.

The No. 1 seeds — Florida, Virginia, Arizona and Wichita State — will avoid the all-time upset.

“I don’t see a 16 seed beating a 1 seed — yet,” Arthur said.

“Some day, it’s going to happen. But I don’t see it happening this year.”

Stick with the chalk in these Thursday-Friday games, he advised. His early upsets were limited to Stanford over New Mexico (“They played a tougher schedule”) and BYU over Oregon (“Just to make Aaron Brooks mad”).

Take back all those mean things you say about Kansas, Buffs fans.

Arthur liked Colorado to beat Pittsburgh.

For a Kansas guy, Kentucky-Kansas State was the toughest pick.

Old rivalries die hard. “I can’t like either one of ’em,” Arthur said. Forced to choose, he rolled with K-State.

On their national championship run in 2008, Arthur’s Jayhawks withstood the brilliant Davidson squad led by Steph Curry in the Elite Eight.

“He was a monster,” Arthur said. Yes, Nuggets fans would agree.

So how does he choose an upset special — such as Davidson — in his bracket?

“Try to see who’s hot.

Who shoots it well?”

Arthur said. “That’s a big thing, who can shoot the three. The team that shoots well can become the Cinderella story.”

With that mind, his bracket advice is to steer clear of teams that depend heavily on the three-point shot. As the tournament moves forward, their shooting legs can wilt.

“That’s happened with Duke before, a team with great shooters,” Arthur said. “But you’ve got to have some interior guys, too.”

After Arthur scraps my Zags in the third round — “Arizona’s defense is crazy,” he said — we’re on to the Sweet 16. This is where the contenders separate from the cool stories. “The pressure goes up the further you play,” he said. “Guys start to get tight.”

In the Sweet 16, Arthur liked Arizona over Oklahoma, Wisconsin over Creighton, Louisville over Wichita State, Duke over Michigan, Villanova over Iowa State, Michigan State over Virginia, Florida over VCU and Kansas over Syracuse.

“When you go against that (Syracuse) zone, you just have to attack that middle,” he said. “Once

you attack that middle, everything else opens up.”

As Arthur continued to study his bracket, the locker room continued its bracket trash talk.

Lawson said his Tar Heels are a Sweet 16 team. Brooks said his Ducks are bound for the Final Four. Russia’s Timofey Mozgov searched for goofy YouTube videos.

“Watch out for Baylor,” Miller warned.

“We’re going to the Final Four.”

Old allegiances die hard, too. Arthur’s Final Four: Michigan State, Louisville, Arizona and, yes, Kansas. What’s the secret to becoming an NCAA champion?

“You have to play defense. You have to lock up,” Arthur said. “And you’ve got to have great possessions offensively.

You can’t waste possessions.”

And the secret to a perfect bracket?

“It’s a bunch of luck, honestly,” he said with a laugh. “I had a bunch of teams last year that I felt great about. And then by the end of the first weekend, they’re all at home.”

Ignoring the bracket banter around his locker, Arthur settled on the 2014 national champion.

He likes Kansas and Arizona in the title game.

Kansas cuts the nets.

Rock, chalk it up.

The bracket champ has spoken.

ARTIST TOM MOORE, WHO CURRENTLY LIVES IN KANSAS CITY, KAN., WAS AN ACCOMPLISHED PAINTER before Parkinson’s disease made it too difficult to continue. While fighting the disease, he started making sketches of superheroes on envelopes, pictured below, and 176 of them are on display in the Lawrence Arts Center’s Antecedent Gallery through March 30.

T

he Antecedent Gallery in the Lawrence Arts Center is home to artwork with a purpose, one beyond complying with traditional masterful standards.

In selecting Tom Moore for the latest exhibit, on display through March 30, Roger Shimomura couldn’t think of a better purpose than one of “obsessiveness.”

Lined up neatly in eight rows on one wall, 176 envelops covered in pencil

sketches, watercolor images and pen scratchings comprise the portrait of a man with a compulsiveness to create. If those who visit the gallery skip past Moore’s artist statement, they wouldn’t know that these particular works were inspired by the obstacles Moore has faced since his Parkinson’s diagnosis.

“In 1994, at the age of 50, I developed Parkinson’s disease and other serious health issues, and by 2003 I was forced to

backs of envelopes and scrap paper continue to flow.”

Documentary asks: How’d Vermeer do that?

I

t may be a documentary, but “Tim’s Vermeer,” opening at Liberty Hall this weekend, unfolds like a mystery novel and then plays like a suspense thriller.

Directed by Teller and narrated by his partnerin-illusion Penn Jillette (who also appears on camera), it’s a crackling how’d-he-do-it — rather than a whodunit — that follows an American innovator/technologist named Tim Jenison on his curious quest to solve one of the art world’s biggest mysteries: How might 17th-century Dutch master Johannes Vermeer have actually painted his amazingly photo-realistic works?

The real star of “Tim’s Vermeer” is Jenison himself, an affable thinker who has both the intellect and the means to not only discover what he thinks the answer is but also to try to recreate one of Vermeer’s most revered works from scratch using his theory.

Jenison founded NewTek in Topeka in 1985, and is known as the “father of desktop video,” having developed the first full-color video digitizer.

Out of a warehouse that doubles as his workshop, he first recreates the room Vermeer was paining in his famous work “The Music Lesson,” and then — without any natural artistic skill as a painter — tries to recreate the painting itself using his hypothesis.

From an aesthetic point of view, it’s sometimes a very ugly movie, with webcam shots and con-

sumer-grade cameras used throughout, but it’s truly a documentary that only could have been made in the digital age. Teller, who has a reputation for demanding veracity, documented every second of Jenison’s project — over 4,500 hours — to make sure nothing was fudged.

“Tim’s Vermeer” makes what seems like a highbrow subject very approachable, laying out the stakes clearly and rounding out the context of the mystery with interviews from experts and people who have had similar theories. But beyond being an exciting suspense tale, the movie gets at some tricky, fundamental questions of art.

If Vermeer did, in fact, use optic assistance to create his masterworks, does that lessen the achievement of the paintings? Does it make them any less artistic?

The crossroads between technology and art have always been troublesome, and the movie posits that without either, we might

MOVIE REVIEW

‘Muppets Most Wanted’ not just for kids

By Roger Moore McClatchy Tribune

“Muppets Most Wanted” is funnier than the last Muppets movie, with far better songs (by Bret McKenzie), punnier puns and all manner of geo-political gags, cultural wisecracks and star cameos.

Sure, you can take the kids. But will they get the joke about the Swedish Chef in a remake of the Ingmar Bergman film “The Seventh Seal”? Will they know who Celine Dion is, and why Miss Piggy wanting to sing a duet with her is funny?

And clocking in at a kidpatience-testing 1:52, you have to wonder if Disney doesn’t realize, after the 2011 Muppet revival, that it’s making these films not for children, but for the people who loved the TV show back when Liberace and Liza Minnelli were guest starring with Jim Henson & Co. Lady Gaga and Usher may need no 10-and-under introduction. But Salma Hayek, Josh Groban, Ray Liotta, Saoirse Ronan, Danny Trejo, “Thor” villain Tom Hiddleston (in light red hair), Tony Bennett and Frank Langella? They’re going to give grown-ups a giggle.

Kermit and the Muppets have barely reunited as a group when a predatory manager (Ricky Gervais) lures them into a world tour with promises of sold-out shows and worldwide Muppet adoration. But the tour is basically a plot by Dominic Badguy (“It’s pronounced ‘Bad-gee.’ It’s French.”) to put a criminal mastermind and Kermit lookalike in charge of The Muppet Show.

Constantine, “the

RICKY GERVAIS, LEFT, AND THE MUPPETS are shown in a scene from “Muppets Most Wanted.” world’s most dangerous frog,” breaks out of a Russian gulag, covers his facial mole in green makeup and tries to twist his Russian accent into Kermit speech to make the switcheroo work. Somehow, almost everybody is fooled, even the insistently lovesick Miss Piggy.

Constantine and Badguy schedule Muppet shows in Berlin, Madrid and Dublin in an effort to rob next-door museums.

And with the villains indulging every lunatic vanity project of every lunatic in the company — Piggy’s Celine songs, Gonzo’s “indoor running of the bulls” and the like — nobody’s the wiser.

Interpol’s silliest Frenchman (Ty Burrell of “Modern Family”) and the CIA’s Sam the Eagle are slow to catch on as well.

Meanwhile, Kermit’s the one dragged back to the Gulag, where fellow inmates Liotta, Jemaine Clement and Trejo accept him as their murderous leader — sort of.

And camp commandant Nadya (Tina Fey, terrific) puts him to work casting and planning the prison’s musical revue.

The production numbers are epic — from

the “everybody knows a sequel is never quite as good” opener, to a Gervais duet with Constantine, Miss Piggy sharing a song with her idol Celine and Fey’s ’60s girl groupstyle prison show stopper, “Big House.”

The Boris & Natasha accents that Fey and the hilarious Clement (“Dinner for Schmucks,” TV’s “Flight of the Conchords”) sling are just hilarious, as is much of what pops up here.

“Most Wanted” is amusing enough to make you think, “So what if the kids don’t dig it? Hire a sitter!”

This is what PG comedy was meant to be, with the giggles mixed with the groans, something only “Macarena”-dancing Muppets can deliver.

like eternity, right?

The very capable Shailene Woodley lends some authority to a silly, one-dimensional script as Tris, a member of the Abnegation (extremely religious) faction who makes the decision to be Dauntless (jock). The catch is that she’s known the whole time that she’s Divergent (different). As she learns the value of asserting her independence, the fate of the entire city hangs in the balance, and she’s got some quick growing up to do.

Along the way there’s a chaste romance, an excruciatingly long military-training sequence that’s too dumb to be satiric, and Kate Winslet phoning it in as an evil former honor student with fascistic designs.

When the plot mechanics are moving forward and there’s no time to think, “Divergent” churns on, high on its own dumb inevitability.

But at two hours and 20 minutes, it can be rough going sometimes, and the humorless, dumb script asks way too much of its cast.

TOM MOORE’S SKETCHES OF SUPERHEROES ON ENVELOPES are on display in the Lawrence Arts Center’s Antecedent Gallery. Moore made the sketches while in the hospital and rehabilitation facilities while battling Parkinson’s disease.

Early years Moore studied fine painting skills under Shimomura while pursuing an undergraduate degree at Kansas University.

In his printmaking years, Shimomura, impressed with Moore’s precision and flawlessness, then hired him to work as his printer for early projects in his career.

Moore left Lawrence to pursue his master’s degree in painting from the State University of New York at Albany, where he met his late wife, Ann, whom he credits heavily for encouragement and his main teacher.

“She was really a superwoman,” Moore says. “Behind every great man there’s a woman, or several of them.”

Tom used his stencilcutting skills — mentored further at Albany by puppeteer Ed Atkeson — to pay the bills while he produced hard-edged geometric designs, landscapes, figures and still-lifes in oil and acrylic as a hobby.

Under the mentorship of New York artist Channing Lefebvre, he learned old master oil painting techniques.

He started to work a stencil-based job in Kansas City after accepting a position at a sign-making business when his wife got a job at Mid-Continent Library.

They lived in Kansas City for several years before Ann began a career as an Air Force librarian, first in Wichita and then in Charleston, S.C., where they lived until her death in 2012.

Moore started to explore other art mediums and stopped thinking about what he could make that would appeal to potential patrons.

“I didn’t realize I’d get so down physically so fast,” Moore says. “I said to myself, ‘Well I can’t paint for the market, might as well do what I want.’”

Moore has always been fascinated by figure drawing, particularly superheroes, since he was a kid.

The envelopes featured in the Antecedent Gallery exhibit are covered with watercolors, watercolor pencils, ink and colored pencil depictions of Superman, Batman, Captain America and many others.

He hoped to emulate Walt Disney, meeting the cartoonist in 1961 and sharing his ambitions to produce work like his.

ast Monday at my downtown Kansas City office, amid the sounds of drunken revelry and bagpipes from the nearby Power & Light District, a colleague explained to me why she never celebrates St. Patrick’s Day. “Why should I?” she asked dismissively. “I’m Irish every day of the year.”

Whatever your heritage, you’ll find quality Irish food and friendly atmosphere every day at O’Neill’s, a restaurant and pub operating in Leawood since 1999.

O’Neill’s menu is expansive, encompassing traditional pub grub like a Reuben, pot roast and fish and chips as well as salads, seafood, jambalaya and country fried steak.

The Irish waffle fries (covered in Swiss cheese sauce, corned beef, scallions and sauerkraut) are a meal in themselves, and the perfect complement to a pint (or three).

The newly renovated space at 9417 Mission Road includes a full bar, small and large party rooms and a spacious patio in addition to the regular dining area. O’Neill’s is open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday, closed on Sunday.

Visit kconeills.com for a full menu.

Ceramic Cafe Right next to O’Neill’s is Ceramic Cafe, a paintyour-own-pottery and glass-fusing studio that has kept children and adults creatively occupied since 1997.

Owner Sara Thompson got the idea for a pottery studio after visiting a studio in California with her family while working as an occupational therapist and today enjoys the “creative therapy for the soul” that her business provides.

Ceramic Cafe is open to the public every day, with pottery for sale that can be painted on site.

A creative storytime with books and crafts is offered twice a week for children, and the studio is available to be rented out for children’s birthday parties (adults may rent out the studio for work or social events as well).

Next weekend, Ceramic Cafe’s annual Easter Egg Painting Festival will be held from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday. The cost is three for $14, six for $25, nine for $36 and $46 for a

dozen, which includes all fees. Visit ceramiccafekc. com to make reservations or find out about other special events.

Home and garden show For those interested in home decoration and design inspiration beyond ceramics, the annual spring Greater Kansas City Home Show and Flower, Lawn and Garden Show at Bartle Hall will feature exhibits and presentations from some of the leading renovators and home designers, including HGTV stars such as Monica Pedersen and Cari Cucksey, the “Antiques Matchmaker.”

The show runs 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday. General admission is $10, or $8 online at kchba.org/ home-shows/spring.

Children 16 and under are admitted free.

Harvey Milk tribute For its spring concert, the Heartland Men’s Chorus will be singing a tribute to Harvey Milk at 8 p.m. Saturday and 4 p.m. Sunday at the Folly Theater, 300 W. 12th St. The Chorus, which performs with as many as 150 singers, will present a program honoring the legacy and words of Milk, a fearless advocate for gay rights who served as the first openly gay public official in California before his life was cut short by an assassin’s bullet.

Tickets cost $15 to $40 and are for sale at hmckc. org.

Josh Berwanger On Friday, a trio of bands will rock the upstairs venue space at MiniBar, 3819 Broadway, the Record Bar’s younger Midtown sibling. Josh Berwanger headlines a bill that also includes CS Luxem and songwriter Heidi Gluck.

While other former members of the band The Anniversary have moved on musically or geographically, Berwanger has stayed true to his Midwestern rock roots, recording and performing with undepleted gusto.

Friday’s 10 p.m. show should be a good time at a fun venue. And guess what? The show is free.

Somebody buy Mr. Berwanger a drink.

Joking around with Dave Barry

By Beth Whitehouse Newsday

Humor columnist Dave Barry jokes that he wanted to title his newest book “Dave Barry: I Bet You Thought He Was Dead.”

His publisher, however, vetoed that in favor of “You Can Date Boys When You’re Forty: Dave Barry on Parenting and Other Topics He Knows Very Little About” (Putnam, $26.95).

The parenting angle comes from the first of the nine essays in the book, in which Barry writes about taking his then-13-yearold daughter, Sophie, to a Justin Bieber concert.

But Barry warns readers in the introduction that the book isn’t just about parenting. Other essays include such disparate topics as grammar, the “Fifty Shades of Grey” series and Barry’s family trip to Israel.

Barry, 66, has written 25 nonfiction books and more than a dozen works of fiction and has won a Pulitzer Prize for commentary. Newsday caught up with him by phone from his home in Coral Gables, Fla.

Q:

How does Sophie feel about your writing about her?

You broadcast the fact that she has pictures of Justin Bieber in her room in what she calls “The Corner of Appreciation” and tried to invite him to her bat mitzvah. She’s not mortified?

A:

Rose Dechand, office manager, Lawrence “‘The Liberators: America’s Witnesses to the Holocaust’ (by Michael Hirsh).”

I have learned to finesse that. I went through it with my son. We always had a deal, Rob and I — I won’t write about him without telling him. I also tell them that without these stories about them that I’m writing, they would not be going to college.

Since you mention Rob, who is now 33 and an investigative reporter for The Wall Street Journal, tell us what differences have you found in parenting girls vs. boys?

With Sophie, I’ve never once been to the emergency room. With Rob, he qualified for the “Every Tenth Fracture Is Free” program. He and his friends communicated mostly by putting their lives at risk. Hitting each other, dropping out of trees on each other — that was how they would interact. Sophie is extremely social. As far as I can tell, she is best friends with every other teenage girl on the planet Earth. They all know each other, they’re all in constant contact, all of them are one giant organism of teenage girls.

What do you think is different about parenting in South Florida and parenting in the Northeast?

I remember taking Rob to New York when he was really tiny, like maybe a couple of weeks old. At one point, I was in Manhattan. It was just me with Rob, no woman around, just a guy with a baby. I got more unsolicited advice from women on what I was doing wrong.

People would come up to me like, “He should have a hat.” I would put a hat on him. They’d go, “Why do you have a hat on? He doesn’t need a hat.” In South Florida, I don’t get any advice from anybody.

It’s more laid back.

when they found out I was going to be a dad again, thought I was out of my mind. I’m not going to accuse my friends of being old. But once their children were out of their lives, they kind of stopped at that point. They didn’t have to change anything anymore. When you have a kid again in your 50s, you’re totally out of your comfort zone, and you have to readjust. I have to stay way more adaptable.

Your kids are about 20 years apart. What was it like raising two different generations?

It’s the best system ever. You have to have more than one marriage to do it, that’s the down side. I recommend it What was it like hav- strongly. Neither of them ing a second child later has anything the other one covets. The only in life?

Most of my friends, thing in common they

have is their father.

Are you working on any more children’s books, a la “Peter and the Starcatchers”?

I did just finish the day before yesterday another fiction book for YA . It’s called “The Worst Class Trip Ever” for Disney. It’s about a trip to Washington, D.C. On the plane, they see these two guys, and this group of four kids decides they’re bad guys and they have to stop them.

You aren’t a grandparent yet, right?

I’m going to be in June.

New fodder for a book?

Oh, my God, yeah, I’m going to use that.

Do you know what they’re having?

It’s a boy. Good luck to them.

BOOK REVIEW

Bard Wars: ‘Empire,’ Shakespeare mix in fun sequel

By Tish Wells MCT

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far — well, really about a year ago, William Shakespeare (died 1616) teamed up with Oregon author Ian Doescher to adapt filmmaker George Lucas’ “Star Wars” into a peerless 16th-century play.

Now there’s a sequel, Chad Hasler, “William Shakespeare’s dispatcher, The Empire Striketh Lawrence Back,” and it’s just as “‘The Shootist’ much fun. (by Glendon Swarthout).”

As the original film, “Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back” was more dark and romantic than its predecessor, so Doescher’s new version, writing as the Bard, has more depth.

To take it more seriously than probably intended and written, this might be a good way of introducing Shakespearean language to a new generation. The “Star Wars” saga is so wellknown to 20th-century Bob Dunlap, auditor, Lawrence “‘The Story of Sushi’ (by Trevor Corson).”

HUMORIST AND WRITER DAVE BARRY’S NEW BOOK “You Can Date Boys When You’re Forty: Dave Barry on Parenting and Other Topics He Knows Very Little About” is a collection of essays about raising his children and other topics such as grammar and the “Fifty Shades of Grey” series.

audiences that it might catch their interest.

Since it’s now a play, the movie’s visual images have to be translated into words and direction.

So now, in the movie’s scene where they are trying to repair the spaceship, the “Millennium Falcon,” smuggler Han Solo sounds considerably m o r e l i k e lovestruck Romeo when speaking to Princess Leia: “O Princess, may we end these pointless games?

“May we two souls of flame extinguish’d be “Just long enough to drink of love’s rewards?”

When they finally kiss, her comment, in an unromantic aside, is, “He kisses by the book.”

Young Jedi-in-training Luke Skywalker faces former Jedi Master Y o d a , whose dialogue sounds not much different from that in the m o v i e .

Hmm. As in the first book, the non-humans have speaking parts. R2D2 beeps and meeps but has the occasional soliloquy — here on Luke, “I would that I my master could protect, but such is not the role I have to play.”

The Wookiee, Chewbacca, mostly says “Auugh!” and “Egh.” More verbose is the

huge Wampa that attacks Luke Skywalker on the frozen planet of Hoth who now introduces himself as: “Pray know that I a wampa simple am, “And take no pleasure in my angry mood.

“Though with great force this young one’s face I slam, “I prithee know I strike but for my food.”

This does not stop Skywalker from lopping off the Wampa’s hand as he escapes.

Then there is the soliloquy of a space slug, the exogorth — you learn something new every day — which tried to eat Solo’s escaping ship: “Alas, another meal hath fled and gone, “And in the process I am sorely hurt.

“These travelers who have escap’d my reach “Us’ me past the endurance of a block!”

Everyone has their say from the pragmatic Lando Calrission, administrator

of Cloud City, and betrayer of his friends, bidding “Farewell!” (four times) to his former life then vowing his allegiance to the “great Rebellion.”

Even the author’s note on the last page is written in a pseudo“Shakespearean” sonnet 3720-2-1 “To Thine Own Site be True.”

The first book suggested that a need for a dramatic reading in a picnic setting with a bottle of wine, cheese and bread (and a designated driver) to fully enjoy it.

“William Shakespeare’s The Empire Strikes Back” calls for a more formal dinner setting — roast beef, buttered Brussels sprouts, and a dark chocolate trifle. Again make sure you have a designated driver because it may take several bottles of wine to fully enjoy speaking the lines.

Good luck getting to the end without rolling off your chairs. This book is a hoot.

Man questions whether to turn in wife Dear Annie: Four years ago, my wife, “Joann,” was the executor of her mother’s will.

Per instructions, she divided the estate equally with her three siblings.

However, a few months later, the estate received an award of $200,000 for a lawsuit her mother had filed 30 years ago. Joann and one of her siblings split the award and did not tell the other two.

Since then, Joann and I have separated. What she and her sibling did was dishonest and cheated the other two, both of whom struggle financially. I am still in contact with Joann’s siblings and I like them, but my conscience is bothering me.

If I reveal this secret, the family will be rocked and Joann may be charged with fraud. While we are not on good terms, I don’t want to send her to prison. What do I do? — Anonymous Husband

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

anniesmailbox@comcast.net

Dear Anonymous: Joann is not likely to go to prison, but she could be sued by her siblings and held liable for this money, and such secrets have a way of coming out eventually. You would not be the one rocking the family. That responsibility falls squarely on Joann’s shoulders (and the sibling who shared in the windfall) for defrauding her siblings. Tell Joann that you are planning to inform the other siblings of this money and you are giving her the oppor-

Building renovation competition pits teams at odds to win “American Dream Builders”(7 p.m. Sunday, NBC) is the same old nightmare. You know, the kind where you subconsciously endure the same thing over and over again with the same horrible results.

Reality television has been serving up competitions like this for more than a decade and recycling the same stereotyped contestants even longer. “The Joe Schmo Show” reality spoof lampooned many variations on the cookiecutter personalities you see here.

And it first aired in 2003. ‘‘Builders” pits teams of noted designers and builders against each other to renovate two slightly shabby houses in a single neighborhood. They also compete against the clock. At the end, they are judged by a panel of experts who shout quite frequently, as if recapping an NFL game at halftime. Their work is also subject to the criticism of a neighborhood counsel, the people who will have to live with the contestants’ “creations.”

This is the only doughnut hole of originality in this bankrupt bakery of stale ideas.

A hardscrabble bank robber falls in with a loving family in the 2014 uplift movie “The Redemption of Henry Myers” (8 p.m. Sunday, Hallmark Movie Channel).

“Drop Dead Diva” (8 p.m.

Sunday, Lifetime), the dramedy about a bimbo and a lawyer who come back from the dead in a single, plus-sized body, has itself come back from the dead (TV cancellation) for a fifth and now a sixth and final season. This time, I assume, they mean it. Tonight’s season premiere is a twohour special.

Other highlights

Scheduled on “60 Minutes” (7 p.m., CBS): The hunt for the Boston Marathon bombers; how The New Yorker chooses cartoons; Europe’s brazen jewel thieves.

Alicia asks Cary to represent her in the Dubeck deposition on “The Good Wife” (8 p.m., CBS).

BIRTHDAYS Comedian Marty Allen is 92.

Movie director Mark Rydell is 85.

Motorsports Hall of Famer Craig Breedlove is 77. Singer-producer Ric Ocasek is 65. Singer Chaka Khan is 61. Actress Amanda Plummer is 57. Actress Catherine Keener is 55. Actress Hope Davis is 50. Comedian John Pinette is 50. Actor Richard Grieco is 49. Country musician Kevin Griffin (Yankee Grey) is 49.

We hope she has sense enough to fix this before it’s too late.

Dear Annie: I am a 40-something professional. Due to illness and accidents, I have lost all of my family members.

Sometimes, it is difficult to cope, but with the help of a wonderful fiance and a few close friends, I have found a way not to dwell.

I find it difficult to listen to co-workers who do nothing but talk poorly about their relatives and constantly fight with family members over insignificant things. I wish I could make them see how lucky they are to have family and to make every moment count.

I want to scream that I would do anything for one more phone call

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

with any family member.

Is there a polite way to explain to my stubborn co-workers that you can’t count on forever? — Just One More Day Dear Just: Our deepest condolences on what must be a heartbreaking situation. It’s natural for your co-workers to complain about those with whom they must interact closely and regularly. It doesn’t mean these relatives aren’t loved and appreciated.

You could sweetly say, “We shouldn’t take our families for granted. They won’t always be here.”

But unless you are prepared to debate the issue and disclose details about your own situation, it is unlikely you will change how they respond.

ON the COVER

New York Elementary third-graders Sarah Turner, Dameako Greenlee and Josephine Dee sing a math song that their teacher, John Bode, wrote. Bode uses a series of songs, like “Count by six, just for kicks,” to help his students learn to skip count. He describes this strategy as an engaging way to learn that multiplication is repeated addition and to memorize facts without drills or flash cards. Read more about Bode, a 2014 Kansas Master Teacher Award winner, on page 10.

Personalizing Student Learning Lawrence teachers, students and parents report gains in student engagement and motivation as a result of teachers implementing the blended learning instructional strategy in their classrooms.

Blended learning blends traditional teacher-directed instruction with online delivery of content and instruction with some element of student control of the time, place and pace of learning.

“I’ve always believed that choice really motivates students. Blending allows me to offer them a whole lot more choices in a really efficient way, and I think that really increases their engagement in their learning,” said Becky Reaver, a Liberty Memorial Central Middle School teacher. “They like to take charge of things, and they really dive in and work together in ways that I’ve not seen before, so I’m really excited about that,” she said.

In the Spring of 2013, Lawrence Public Schools selected eight teachers to field test blended learning in kindergarten, grades 4, 5, 6 and 7, and a high school math class. Those teachers, their students and the students’ parents provided positive feedback, helping the district answer key questions: Can the district increase student engagement and provide a resource that maximizes teachers’ time with students? Yes! “I really like it because you can kind of work at your own pace. It’s not like you have to go through a really slow, boring activity. You can do it by yourself or take the work home with you,” said Mikayla Kaufman, Southwest Middle School student.

In addition to supporting the original eight classrooms, the district expanded the instructional strategy this year by supporting 40 teachers who are blending in two classrooms in each school. Due to high interest from teachers, the schools chose to

What can Parents Expect from Blended Learning?

• Fundamental change in the way teachers and students approach the learning experience.

• A blend of traditional teaching with more innovative instructional methods.

• The delivery of Web-based learning through the integration of technology.

• Personalized learning tailored to meet the individual needs of students.

• Students engaged with teachers and working in peer groups or individually.

• Students learning how to work collaboratively and solve problems.

• Students making choices about how, when and what they learn.

• Increased student achievement, engagement and independence.

Lawrence Public Schools Newsletter

provide support to another 32 teachers, for a total of 80 blended learning classrooms.

Mandy Sikes’ son Brandon is in Paula Barr’s second-grade, blended class at Quail Run Elementary. “We have noticed with him that it has opened his mind to the questions he wants to ask through research. He’s not stuck in a box of the questions that are normally asked. He wants to find out more and different answers, and he gets to do it at his own pace, which is kind of amazing,” Sikes said.

Science lends itself to student engagement, so has blending changed Alan Gleue’s physics classes at Lawrence High? “With blending, kids have a little bit more control over the pacing of their work.

I do most of my notes now on video, so the kids can watch, stop, pause and rewind the videos. The difference now is that I can get around to every table and really connect with the students. I can focus on some of the problems they’re having with some of the physics. I feel like every day now that I’m making connections with the students,” Gleue said.

With increased student engagement and teacher efficacy, and positive feedback from students, teachers and parents, the district plans to continue to investigate the best tools to support teachers interested in maintaining blended learning environments.

The district will expand this effort by supporting up to an additional 100 teachers blending next school year.

“I think the biggest thing with blending is that the students are more responsible for their own learning. The emphasis is on: What do they need to be successful? I think that the students have become a lot more reflective because of that, and I think I’ve enjoyed that the most,” said Shana Poettker, South Middle School math teacher, who has been teaching for 12 years and started blending this year.

A 22-year veteran educator, Southwest Middle School’s Michelle Andersen participated in the district’s field test of blended learning last spring. “I’ve always tried to engage students in different activities and provide for individualized instruction.

With blended learning, it’s really allowed me

to take it a step further and let the kids guide themselves to a certain extent with more choices and the ability to work how they want to work. Do you want to watch a video? Do you want to read? Do you want to work with this person? Do you want to work alone? So, blending has taken what I’ve already done and enhanced it,” Andersen said.

Teachers who are blending have started to use Blackboard, an online learning management system, to share assignments and instructional resources with students.

Josie Hickerson, a Southwest Middle School student, leaves school early to participate in competitive gymnastics. Her mother, Amy Dye, says that it has been great for Josie to be able to use Blackboard to stay on top of her classwork.

“All of the assignments are online, so if you’re at home, you can check your assignments easier, like what you missed if you were absent. I go online and check whatever’s due, what’s coming up or whatever I missed, and I follow the instructions on Blackboard,” Hickerson said.

Supporting Staff of Color School board members, administrators, teachers, support staff, students, parents and community partners continue to deepen their individual understanding and advance in their own personal journeys, while working collectively toward the district’s equity goal to raise the achievement of all students and close achievement gaps.

Since 2009, the district has worked with the Pacific Educational Group (PEG), an organization committed to achieving racial equity in education by engaging in sustained partnership with educational institutions to transform beliefs, behaviors and results so that people of all races can achieve at their highest levels. By learning to apply PEG’s protocol, Courageous Conversation, and implementing its Framework for Systemic Racial Equity Transformation (see inset), the district continues to address racial educational disparities and develop strategies for closing achievement gaps.

With the intent of creating a space for staff of color to come together in affinity groups to discuss racial situations and concerns, the district launched a Staff of Color support group, called STOC in PEG’s equity framework.

Luis Versalles, PEG’s director of leadership, facilitated a February STOC Social, encouraging attendees to utilize the space provided to share perspectives on the district’s equity goal and the

• Parent Engagement & Empowerment • Home/School Partnerships • Student Success for our staff to reach out to each other and have healthy discourse that helps them return to their schools able to invest in the equity goals without feeling ashamed of their past experiences or feeling as if they are seeking attention as victims in a predominantly white setting,” said Danica Moore, USD 497’s teacher on special assignment for equity.

Versalles informed the STOC group that their perspectives and voices are needed to fuel and drive the district’s equity goal. “You provide a voice that no one else can. If one perspective is silenced because of low numbers, the work cannot progress,” he said.

“The staff of color gathering was informative and helpful in understanding more about what this diversity conversation is all about.

I was enlightened to the plight of different people and how we go through this journey differently.

I feel that I’m on a better track of

CARE Team Development • Action Research • Culturally Responsive Teaching • Teacher Collaboration • Assessment • Effective Instruction for Black & Brown Students understanding why we do have to talk about this issue,” said Jason Maisog, a sixth grade social studies teacher.

Fifty-two employees attended the initial gathering of STOC, which will form organically in terms of the development of leadership roles, the discussion of focus areas and the establishment of a schedule.

“The atmosphere was great and long overdue. I look forward to the next one,” said Annette Dabney, speech and language pathologist.

Other school districts with similar groups in place, such as Portland, Ore., St. Paul, Minn. and Oak Park, Ill., report a direct correlation between their staff of color support groups and retention of staff. In USD 497, new teachers of color who come here from more racially diverse areas tend to leave within their first three years. STOC supports the district’s long-term goal to recruit, develop and retain a highly qualified and diverse staff.

My Equity Journey…

JORDAN ROSE, Free State High School AP Chemistry teacher “My experience in Beyond Diversity helped me to begin to have the conversations that allow my students to realize that they each have a voice in our school. By joining CARE team, I have been able to observe and be observed teaching lessons focusing on culturally relevant pedagogy. The feedback from my colleagues, both in-district and out-of-district, has allowed me to reflect on multiple perspectives that are happening in my classroom and specifically work toward the de-centering of whiteness in my teaching. I am on CARE Team because I want to continually improve as a culturally responsive teacher. It is important to me, and to our success as a school and district, to continue to work toward the achievement of all students and create an effective teaching and learning environment that is learner-centered and where students’ strengths are promoted and supported.”

NANCY DeGARMO, New York Elementary principal “Several years ago I heard superintendent Rick Doll tell the staff that one in four boys of color would not graduate from high school. Being a principal of a diverse school population, I visualized the five-year-old boys of color sitting in our kindergarten class and was overwhelmed by the thought that several of them would not graduate high school. I knew that this could not continue.

Thinking back, that moment was the beginning of my equity journey. Since that time, I have looked at myself and tried to understand how my actions and beliefs might be impacting these young children and putting them on a path to either graduate or drop out. This is a life-long learning journey.

But the future of our little boys depends upon changing how we teach our students of color. Every day, I look at my kindergarten students and know that I must continue to give them the tools to be successful high school graduates.”

KRISTIE ADAIR, Lawrence Board of Education member “I always thought I understood diversity and racial inequality. Born and raised in a big city in a racially diverse neighborhood I thought I understood. That was until I attended Beyond Diversity training with the district. In those two days I was able to understand that my current method of ignoring problems of race inequality was not helping. I could not sit back and pretend that since I was not part of the problem I did not have to be part of the solution. Now I see that we all need to be actively engaged and aware of the problem of racial disparity in order for change to occur.”

JULIE OHSE, Sunset Hill Elementary/ West Middle School social worker “I’m always a little stumped when trying to articulate what impact Beyond Diversity training has had on me. I certainly know it has had a positive and permanent impact, but it’s personal and the results can seem intangible. I see movies, watch television shows and documentaries I may have dismissed before. I watch the news with a new set of eyes. I don’t view myself as color-blind any longer, and I have gained confidence in my ability to have conversations about race when before I wouldn’t have known how to start. I look through a new lens and more often ask myself, “What might race have to do with this?” I’m more likely to ask

my kids, parents, colleagues, friends and family that same question. There are moments you remember in Beyond Diversity. One of mine was at the end of a session with Leidene King. She asked each of us to be quiet and then commented about the civil rights period, noting that without people who were seen as having power, without their white brothers and sisters, the civil rights movement may have not had the impact it did. She then asked us: with that knowledge what were each of us going to do with our new understanding and personal power? That is a question I now own. Beyond Diversity has given me this.”

COLBY WILSON, Boys and Girls Club of Lawrence executive director For me, the Courageous Conversations about Race and Beyond Diversity trainings have been a life changing experience. When I first came to Lawrence two years ago, the idea of learning more about Courageous Conversations was brought forward by one of our staff members who had been exposed to it during trainings at one of the elementary schools.

As we learned more, it became clear that this was something we really needed to become invested in. Two years later, having attended the Summit for Courageous Conversations and participated in Beyond Diversity, I believe I am much more aware of the realities of institutionalized racism and white privilege. I believe that this awareness will help me, as a white male, be a better leader and help the Boys & Girls Club better serve kids of color.

Our mission is to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. The phrase “who need us most” includes many kids of color, and we need to be more aware and more responsive to the needs of these young people. I want to thank Dr. Doll and his team for taking the lead and for including the Boys & Girls Club in these Courageous Conversations.

BOND PROGRESS UPDATE When school bond issue construction begins this spring, Hillcrest and Langston Hughes Elementary Schools will take the lead, followed by summer work to begin at Cordley, Kennedy, New York, Free State High and all four middle schools.

Thanks to the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s support of a $92.5 million school bond election last spring, the Lawrence Board of Education will implement a comprehensive plan to improve facilities, enhance technology and expand career and technical educational opportunities. School-based Design and Construction Committees comprised of principals, teachers, staff and parents continue to meet with architects and construction managers to help guide the projects.

At Hillcrest, an English as a Second Language cluster site, a goal of creating a shared experience enabling the school to celebrate its global diversity drives the re-design. Plans include a new gym,

new art room, new music room, new library, expanded learning garden and dining commons (the current gym) and additional classrooms. Serving a rapidly growing area of Lawrence, Langston Hughesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; enrollment continues to climb.

With the addition of five classrooms, the facility will accommodate more than 100 additional students. Other modifications will improve the cafeteria, traffic flow and parking.

Cordleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s school community sees tremendous opportunities in turning that nearly century-old school into a 21st century learning environment. Aspects of the Cordley project include repairing the oldest part of the facility, built in 1915, solving the complex issues of an urban site, adding two classrooms and a media/ technology center. Upon completion, Cordley will preserve and celebrate its history, while supporting current technologies and amenities.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cordley, to me, is the epitome of a neighborhood school. All of our families are very involved in the day-to-day life of the school. We want to make sure that it still provides that kind of environment for everyone,â&#x20AC;? said Joe Comparato, a member of the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Construction and Design Committee and the parent of a kindergartner and two former Cordley students, now in middle school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are features of the school that are important to us and part of our history, like the mural on the outside of the building and the shelter that the families pitched in and built. Those are things that we want to see incorporated.

I think we accomplished it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been exciting for me to see, for example, the new grand entrance thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be back on 19th Street through the old, original building. I think the architects have done a great job,â&#x20AC;? Comparato said.

In order to provide a safe and secure learning environment and to facilitate the heavy construction that will occur at Cordley, students assigned there will attend school at East Heights Elementary, 1430 Haskell Ave., during the 201415 school year. East Heights served as an elementary school until 2003 and housed the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Early Childhood Family Center until 2010. Since that time, the district has leased the facility to the Boys and Girls Club of Lawrence, which offers after-school programs there and in 12 elementary schools.

The Club will move its East Heights operations to Prairie Park next year. To prepare East Heights for re-use as an attendance center, the district contracted a comprehensive building assessment and will address some site conditions and mechanical, electrical, plumbing and infrastructure needs, including placing three portable classrooms and a mobile office unit on site to accommodate Cordleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs.

At Kennedy, classroom additions, an updated safe entry, extending learning space for early childhood education and flexible learning pockets and community space for neighborhood uses are among the features emphasized in the remodeled building design.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want the school to manage potential growth and support 21st century learning, while making sure it continues to feel like a community building. Some kids spend 10-12 hours a day there. It needs to provide stability for them and be a welcoming and comfortable space for the kids, the teachers and the community,â&#x20AC;? said Matt Kuzinski, father of a Kennedy first- and second-grader and a member of the Construction and Design Committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think people are going to be impressed and pleased by the final outcome. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m honored to have been a part of the process.â&#x20AC;?

New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expanded facility will include the addition of two classrooms, an art room, music room and dining commons. The media/technology center will serve as the heart of the school, as well as support after-hours community uses. Free State Highâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s project includes an updated safe entry, new functional administrative office space and renovations to enable the addition of eight classrooms. Improvements to each of the four middle schools largely involve technology enhancements, electrical system modernization and fire alarm and security upgrades.

The physical and programmatic design of the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future College and Career Center have been developed concurrently. District staff, community college and technical school partners and business, organization and industry representatives involved in the planning envision a place where students practice and develop skills essential for success in college and careers, such as critical thinking, collaboration, leadership, adaptability, problem solving, innovation, curiosity and imagination. Key principles driving the design: flexibility, transparency and collaboration that taps into studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; interests and provides an authentic, personalized learning experience.

The 30,000 sq. ft. facility will be constructed near 29th and Haskell Ave. Initial areas of study will include: Technology Solutions, Health and Emergency Science, Computer Integrated

Manufacturing and Robotics, Biotechnololgy and Forensic Science, Law and Government, and Interactive Design. The center’s development continues to be enriched through a partnership with the Lawrence Economic Development Council, which plans an adult career and technical training facility in an existing building on the site. The partners have determined that Construction

Science will be located in the EDC’s Dwayne Peaslee Center.

The remaining schools will be addressed in the next phase of implementation (see timeline). “It’s exciting to be creating progressive, innovative spaces, that will be different than what we currently see, to support 21st century learning,” said superintendent Rick Doll.

Meet a Kansas Master Teacher While serving 13 years as a speech and language pathologist in a largely Hispanic district in Denver, the diverse Kansas City, Kansas schools and in Lawrence, John Bode supported students in a wide variety of educational settings. During his first year in Lawrence, he worked with students at seven sites – preschools, elementary schools, middle schools and a therapeutic high school classroom. His varied background and experience observing dozens of teachers during that time gave Bode a unique perspective on teaching. When he became a full-time classroom teacher at New York Elementary School in 2003, he had many teaching tools upon which to draw.

“As a speech-language pathologist, data drove virtually every decision I made. As my role in the schools expanded, I never let go of this perspective, applying it to a broader set of decisions. How do we know if this strategy is effective? How do we know that the learning issues of this child are not the result of ineffective instruction? How do we know we are targeting the right skills for instruction for each child?” Bode said.

“As I’ve grown more successful as a teacher, I’ve also grown closer to my students. I have learned that it is essential to form a personal relationship of mutual trust and respect with every child in my class.

Children sense when you really care about them. Every child needs adults who care in their life. Caring relationships give children a sense of safety and of belonging to the school community. These lead to greater engagement and increased learning,” Bode added.

New York principal Nancy DeGarmo has watched Bode accomplish outstanding results and form relationships with students well before they reach his third-grade classroom.

“He watches students in the halls and on the playground and notices the students that need to make a

10

connection with someone at school.

He then makes a special effort to speak to them in the hall and talk to them to find out about their interests and needs. By the time these students make it to third grade, they know Mr. Bode and want to be in his class,” DeGarmo said.

New York earned the Governor’s Achievement Award in 2012-13 for student performance in reading and math and the Confidence in Kansas Public Education Task Force Challenge Award in 2010, 2012 and 2013 for making a notable difference in student achievement despite significant challenges. More than 75% of New York students qualify for free or reduced-price lunches.

DeGarmo acknowledges teacher leaders, like Bode, for understanding what it takes for all children to reach high levels of learning.

Using music to energize students, to get them up and moving and to help them understand and remember important concepts, Bode composes

Lawrence Public Schools Newsletter

songs to illustrate science concepts, explore poetry, develop reading fluency and teach interpersonal skills.

“Not only did he teach my third and fourth grade class, but he taught me powerful life lessons, social skills and how to long-divide. The sheer devotion it takes to be a teacher is astonishing. Mr. Bode went above and beyond. To help us memorize multiplication he would take out his guitar and sing songs to us. He cared for us. He was our parent from 8:00-3:00… His teaching skills are dumbfounding,” wrote seventh-grader Emily Myers of her former teacher.

Each year Bode supplements the science curriculum with many additional activities that allow students to experience the thrill of inquiry, practice essential process skills, and most importantly, to become excited by science. He takes a special interest in promoting science education to girls, who are underrepresented in the field.

Stefanie Olson’s daughters, Annie

and Olive, both had Bode as a teacher in elementary school. “Perhaps the most impressive thing that marked the Bode years in our household was the way the excitement for the material did not stop at the school door. Both Olive and Annie continued to talk about their schoolwork and seek out more information about school topics when at home. I remember Olive measuring everything in the house when they discussed that chapter in math. Annie worked over different mixtures or solutions as that chapter came up,” Stefanie Olson said.

“His lessons were not intended to be memorized for test day but to be really deeply learned. Though the girls have not been in his class for several years now, we still see his influence,” she added.

Bode earned the Lawrence Public Schools’ Master Teacher Award this fall. He’ll be recognized

by Emporia State University’s Teachers College in April as one of seven Kansas Master Teachers.

LAWRENCE VIRTUAL SCHOOL

sm

Since 2004, Lawrence Virtual School has offered the opportunity for families in Kansas to educate their children in a virtual setting.

What LVS Parents Say It works with our schedule, and it is very flexible. They provide all of the curriculum and the lesson plans, so that’s a huge burden off me. —Melinda B., LVS Parent When we weighed homeschooling versus public school, I felt like LVS was the best of both worlds. We have the flexibility of schooling at home and the support and guidance of an actual teacher who helps us out along the way. —Chrissy B., LVS Parent

WHAT LAWRENCE VIRTUAL SCHOOL PROVIDES • Engaging and challenging K-12th grade curriculum • Connection with a Kansas-certified teacher for instruction and support • Significant parental engagement in your child’s education and their learning process • Opportunities for enriching social interactions with peers

For more information, contact the Lawrence Virtual School at 785-832-5620, visit us online at www.lawrencevs.org, or like us on Facebook.com/LawrenceVirtualSchoolLVS 16
