alfway through April, March Madness is still in full swing for Lawrence High School and Free State High School students watching and competing in a homegrown pingpong tournament.

On any given night, you can find

“about 60 or 70” local high school students congregating in the basement of Lawrence High School senior Logan Hawley’s house, he said, their heads turning left and right at the swing of a ping-pong paddle.

Free State senior Trevor Hughes created the “LK Ping Pong” tournament, designing it after the March Madness bracket system. He said

he had the idea in homeroom one day in February, and after weeks of effort the tournament became a local high school phenomenon.

On March 1, 64 area high school students began battling it out in pool play for a spot in the 32person first-round bracket. The competition is for more than just Please see TOURNEY, page 2A

Tompkins will step down and Flanders will step in at the end of June.

The regents hope Flanders will continue a positive culture left by Tompkins, as well as continue progress on the Regents strategic plan, Regents Chairman Kenny Wilk said.

The leader of the public art program in Kansas City, Mo., is set to become Lawrence’s next director of arts and culture.

Lawrence City Hall officials announced Wednesday that Porter Arneill will begin serving as Lawrence’s new director of arts and Arneill culture in early May. “It is an exciting time to be in Lawrence,” Arneill said, mentioning work that is underway to create a cultural plan for the city and an effort to convert portions of Ninth Street into an arts corridor. “I have an artist background, and I really like to work Please see ARTS, page 2A

Dole’s war letters exhibited online The Dole Institute of Politics in Lawrence is exhibiting World War II letters between Bob Dole and his family for an online audience.

The institute announced the exhibit became available online Tuesday, marking the day Dole was wounded in the war.

It shows correspondence between the former Republican senator and his famDole in 1942 ily from September 1941, when he was a student at Kansas University, through his military service until April 1947.

Dole reported for duty in 1943 and was seriously wounded in Italy on April 14, 1945. He spent several years recovering from his injuries at Percy Jones Army Hospital in Michigan.

Dole Institute archivist Audrey Coleman says the letters tell a story common to many on the home front and in the action of World War II.

Historic Resources Commission votes against removal of Quonset hut

I

f you remember back in November, we reported that Black Hills Energy had filed plans with City Hall to demolish its Quonset hut maintenance building near Eighth and Pennsylvania streets. You also may remember that some East Lawrence residents and the developer of the Poehler lofts building expressed concern about tearing down the old building.

Well, the city’s Historic Resources Commission agreed. It has voted against a plan that would allow for the removal of the building. Black Hills Energy, however, has filed an appeal of that decision.

Scott McCullough, the city’s director of planning, said he expects the appeal to be brought to the City Commission for a final decision in the next couple of weeks.

Quonset huts are so named because the prefabricated buildings were first produced in Quonset Point, R.I. Black Hills wants to remove the hut as it prepares to sell the site. The natural gas company no longer uses the building for its maintenance crew. But others in the neighborhood have said the building represents a rare form of architecture that is worth preserv-

ing. Others have said the building could be turned into something interesting that would fit in with the adjacent Warehouse Arts District.

McCullough said the Historic Resources Commission voted against the plan, in part, because the building sits in a conservation overlay district that calls for replacement plans to be presented before any buildings are demolished. McCullough said Black Hills has indicated it doesn’t plan to replace the building, but rather would turn the site into a gravel lot while it seeks a buyer.

with my hands. Being in a smaller community, I’m hopeful that I’ll be able to be really hands on.”

Arneill has served as the director and public art administrator for Kansas City’s Municipal Art Commission since 2002. During his tenure he oversaw a percent for art program that funded multiple pieces of public art, including major new pieces at Kansas City International airport and in the downtown district.

Arneill will take over for Christina McClelland, who resigned after three months of serving as the city’s first director of arts and culture. The position is expected to play a key role in overseeing the design process for the Ninth Street arts corridor project, which envisions making the portion of Ninth Street east of Massachusetts Street into a more walkable corridor that will include public art and opportunities for performance art.

The project early on sparked concerns from some East Lawrence residents who were worried that neighborhood voices were not being adequately heard in the process.

Arneill said he’s committed to ensuring that many viewpoints are considered as the community undertakes art-oriented projects in the future.

“I want to hear from everybody,” Arneill said.

“I want to get a broad perspective about what people want. I think anybody who has worked with me would say that I’m very accessible. When people call and ask me to have coffee, I ask where.”

City officials said Arneill’s experience in dealing with multiple highprofile art projects is a strength that he’ll bring to the city.

“The city is fortunate to have Porter take on this role,” said Assistant City Manager Diane Stoddard.

“His years of expertise, strong background in public art administration and work in the highly engaged Kansas City arts scene will be particularly helpful in this position.”

Prior to his tenure with the Kansas City Municipal Art Commission, Arneill worked as the director of public art and education for the Regional Arts Commission in St. Louis and has been a lecturer and adjunct faculty member at several institutions, including the Kansas City Art Institute.

Arneill has a Master of Fine Arts degree from the Massachusetts College of Art and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Colorado.

the glory of winning; to compete, players paid in $2 apiece, and the winner will take all.

Hawley met Hughes, of his rival high school, during pool play and the two became fast friends, he said. Hawley then offered to host the rest of the tournament at his house.

“The schools don’t really hate each other,” Hawley said. “That’s just during rivalry weeks.”

Hughes was eliminated in pool play — something he’s “still mad about” — but he continued organizing and promoting the tournament. He’d write live updates on social media, film game highlights and design posters.

He’s now even selling T-shirts with his LK Ping Pong design and has about 15 orders, he said.

“Once I started posting

pictures and videos, 60 people came over just to watch,” Hughes said.

When the players who would advance to the bracket were finalized, Hughes filmed himself in front of a green screen, hosting a graphically impressive “selection show.” He announced the “seeds” of each player, placing them by calculations based on their pool play wins.

LK Ping Pong only grew with each elimination. For the Sweet Sixteen last week, Hughes made a video for “one of the biggest matches of the whole tournament,” Hughes said, featuring Hawley and LHS junior Braxton Olson.

The video, uploaded to YouTube, is reminiscent of Kansas University pump-up videos shown before sporting events.

Olson is seen approaching the ping-pong table with a stern face, and Hughes spins a paddle, ready to take Olson on.

FREE STATE FRESHMAN ALEJANDRO CARBALLIDO-FLORES makes a return during a game against junior Jack Flynn during the Elite Eight round of a 64-player ping-pong tournament Tuesday.

The homemade video has had more than 3,000 views in just two weeks.

Hawley said he’s even been recognized by strangers around town who know him as “that ping-pong guy.”

Olson ultimately won, but Hawley said he never wavered in whether to continue hosting the rowdy ping-pong faceoffs at his home.

“I said immediately that I’d continue to

host,” Hawley said. “I was already so deep into it and I felt like I was with Trevor in getting it hyped up — especially with trash talk.”

Hawley’s mother, Leslie Hawley, said she has enjoyed being able to provide a fun, safe environment for local teens at her home.

“It’s just good, clean fun,” Leslie Hawley said.

“I like knowing where they are, that they’re safe.”

The Hawleys hosted the Elite Eight Tuesday night for another large crowd. Ultimately Olson and three Free State students — seniors Tripp Wright and Coleman Houk and freshman Alejandro Carballido — won. They will advance to the Final Four next week.

The tournament will end late in April or early May with the championship game, Hughes said, and Hawley and Hughes have high hopes for the

Hughes said the idea that started in homeroom and grew to entertain so many has taught him and Hawley valuable lessons.

“We’ve learned how to organize events and promote them,” Hughes said. “It’s so hard getting everyone together, but so worth it.”

Hughes and Hawley said they both plan on studying marketing or sports promotions at KU in the fall, but not before they host another, “bigger” LK Ping Pong tournament this summer.

Neighbors voice concerns about Bob Billings traffic

By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @conrad_swanson

Lawrence residents had an opportunity Wednesday night to offer their thoughts on neighborhood traffic along Bob Billings Parkway, Kasold Drive and Kansas Highway 10.

More than 200 people gathered in Langston Hughes Elementary School’s cafeteria to hear Lawrence Public Works employees discuss project options along the parkway.

Traffic along the street is expected to increase as the interchange project between K-10 and Bob Billings Parkway draws to a close, said city engineer David Cronin. The project is slated to be finished this December.

In preparation for that increased traffic, $2.25 million has been budgeted by the city for a 2016 corridor project aimed at improving the safety of the thoroughfare, Cronin said. Wednesday night’s meeting was meant as a way of crowd-sourcing ideas on how to allocate those funds.

“We wanted to get feedback on what everybody thinks the priority is,” Cronin said.

Maps of Bob Billings Parkway were placed throughout the cafeteria, with posted notes of potential project options. Each person in attendance was given two small stickers, or votes, they could place on options they felt were best.

Lawrence resident Jack Gaumnitz said he’s con-

“

We have a bigger voice if we’re all involved.

— Jerry Harper, member of the Bob Billings Safety Group

cerned about some motorists speeding up and down Bob Billings Parkway, a problem that will likely intensify with the completion of the interchange project.

“They need to make an adjustment to the speed of traffic,” he said, “and balance what the road can handle.”

To address the issues, Gaumnitz mentioned altering speed limits and potentially installing more stop lights along the corridor.

Another option discussed throughout the evening was the con-

struction of roundabouts at different intersections.

“They (roundabouts) do naturally slow people down, and traffic signals do not do that,” Cronin said. “It’s a great suggestion to alleviate congestion and slow people down.”

Along with individual residents offering their thoughts on potential projects, Cronin said one group of residents, called the Bob Billings Safety Group, has been following the project very closely.

“We have a bigger voice if we’re all involved,” said

Jerry Harper, a member of the group.

Harper said he is also fond of the idea of adding roundabouts along the parkway. He noted the structures would slow traffic down, which would also help with concerns about sight distances.

“You can blow through a stop sign or go above the speed limit, but you can’t ignore a roundabout,” he said.

Other project options discussed throughout the evening included the installation of additional turning lanes, improving sidewalks and altering access streets.

Director of Public Works Charles Soules said he was pleased with the meeting’s turnout and confident the interaction would offer a lot of valu-

Baldwin City police department warns public of counterfeit money Twitter: @LJWorld

Baldwin City — The Baldwin City Police Department is warning residents, especially those at local businesses, to look over paper currency after several counterfeit bills have been passed in the community.

able feedback for the department to use.

“This is great,” he said. “This is the biggest neighborhood meeting we’ve had.”

Between the meeting and online comments, Soules estimated it would be about 30 days before the department could put together a plan of action to bring back to the public.

Ultimately, any project ideas will be subject to the approval of city commissioners, Cronin explained.

“We’ve identified a suspect, and we’re pursuing that,” Neis said.

“We were able to ID the tag number and vehicle.

That’s led us to a suspect known for doing this before. We’re pretty sure we’re heading down the right path.”

His department is working with other area departments on the case, and it has notified the U.S. Secret Service, Neis said.

Mark Donovan, president of the Kansas City Chiefs, told community members and Kansas University School of Business students Wednesday night to be humble, aware leaders at the 46th annual J.A. Vickers Sr. and Robert F. Vickers Memorial Lecture series.

Business School Dean Neeli Bendapudi said the lecture, which drew about 300 people, honors the Vickers family donors and has grown to be one of the most important events the Business School sponsors.

Previous Vickers speakers include Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and U.S. Sen. Robert J. Dole.

“This has become the lecture to be invited to,” Bendapudi said. “If it wasn’t for the generosity of our alumni, lectures like this would not be possible.”

Donovan has worked within the National Football League for 17 seasons, including seven with the Chiefs. He spoke about lessons he’d learned in leadership, encouraging future and current leaders to focus on “eulogy virtues” instead of “resume virtues.”

Donovan said that eulogy virtues are “kindness, bravery, honesty and valuing positive relationships.”

Resume virtues, which Donovan admitted he’d had in vari-

ous points in his career, are “wealth, fame and status.”

“I cannot stress enough the impor- Donovan tance of (eulogy virtues) as a leader,” Donovan said. “I ask you to be aware of your surroundings, learn from what’s around you and to lead with eulogy values.”

Donovan said he’s seen the power of eulogy values like humility and positive-relationship building at various times throughout his career, notably with Chief’s head coach Andy Reid. Donovan attributed the Chief’s recent success to the 2013 hiring of Reid, who Donovan said leads with trust and honesty.

“One of the best people at getting people to do great things is Andy,” Donovan said. “This guy gets players to work as hard at the beginning of the year as they do at the end of the year when you don’t have a chance at the playoffs.”

Reid does this by getting the team to “trust in each other, believe in each other and to do the greater good,” Donovan said. Donovan said Reid tells players each year he will never call out and criticize individual players in the media and that they “can trust (him) that (he) will take the hits” if they are honest with him.

Hospital officials called 2014 a solid financial year, where patient service revenues and expenses were both at an all-time high.

“I think it shows that what we’re doing is working,” said LMH CEO Gene Meyer. “It’s translated to more dollars that we can invest in the hospital as a result.”

It posted an average length of stay for patients at 2.83 days, more than a day below national trends, according to data provided by LMH. Janice Early, a spokeswoman for the hospital,

said revenue and expenses climbed to unprecedented levels last year because more patients are choosing to receive care at LMH over out-of-town hospitals. Also contributing to the rise was more than an 8.9 percent increase in outpatient surgery cases and increased CT and MRI procedures, among other factors.

1 of 3 cases against man shot by police dropped

By Caitlin Doornbos Twitter: @CaitlinDoornbos

One of three cases against a 24-year-old Lawrence man shot by police in June after allegedly leveling a shotgun at an officer was dismissed Tuesday after witnesses to the case failed to show for the man’s preliminary hearing for the third time.

Zachary James Ortiz, 24, was set to have a preliminary hearing Tuesday to determine whether he should be bound over on a charge of aggravated battery. The charge stems from his Oct. 21 arrest following an alleged disturbance with weapons involving an ex-girlfriend, according to the arrest affidavit. The victim told police that Ortiz had strangled her and held a knife to her face, the affidavit said.

The victim and a witness have been uncoop-

erative with prosecutors, failing to come testify against Ortiz at previously scheduled preliminary hearings in January and February. On Tuesday, Chief Assistant Ortiz District Attorney David Melton said again that he was not prepared to hold the preliminary hearing because he has been unable to contact the victim and witness.

After the third noshow, Melton requested the case be dismissed without prejudice, meaning the charge could be filed again. District Judge Peggy Kittel granted the request.

Ortiz remains charged with various offenses in two other cases, including aggravated assault of an officer, aggravated battery and DUI, eluding police, criminal threat,

interference with law enforcement duties and battery of a law enforcement officer.

Those charges stem from two instances, one after the June confrontation with police in his home and the other in November, when he allegedly fled and resisted arrest after an officer attempted to pull him over for a DUI. Ortiz is scheduled to appear in court on May 19 for a preliminary hearing on the alleged DUI incident and for arraignment on the June police confrontation case.

Ortiz is free from jail after posting $130,000 in bond in the three cases.

complexities of international law make the topic difficult to address, but ongoing conflicts, such as those in Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Ukraine, make it as relevant as ever.

“If at least I introduced a bit of thinking along those lines, I’m pleased,” he said.

After his presentation, Cerar met with students and faculty from the School of Business, which, along with the School of Law and School of Languages, Literatures and Cultures, hosted Cerar’s visit.

Marc Greenberg, director of the KU School of Languages, said that KU has a long-standing engagement with Slovenia. The school has offered classes in Slovenian language and culture for almost 40 years and hosted a visit from Slovenian Ambassador Samuel Žbogar in 2007, he said.

“Kansas has a very big interest in international affairs, both from a humanities point of view and a social science point of view,” Greenberg said.

Further, Donovan said he’s learned that even the smallest actions of leadership are powerful.

Donovan told a story of NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and his fan experience team’s tour of Arrowhead stadium when Goodell stopped midtour to pick up a piece of trash on the ground and throw it away. Donovan later asked Goodell about it and learned a valuable lesson.

“Roger told me, ‘If I stop and pick up that trash, what does it teach my team? Part of leading by example is being

“That was the first time I learned that those little things you do as a leader have a great impact.”

Now, Donovan said he learns all of the names of his employees, makes eye contact and greets fans, helping to create a friendly environment for fans and workers at Arrowhead.

Additionally, Donovan said that if it were not for strong leadership valuing respect and humility, the NFL as a whole may not have been able to overcome recent controversies that stole headlines.

Despite those controversies, Donovan said, the NFL’s success grew in the 2014-2015 season, with revenue increasing by $1 billion.

“Where we’ve been this year and where we could go with our brand was leadership,” Donovan said. “I ask you to lead by being aware of your surroundings, learn from what’s going on around you and lead with eulogy values.”

A WHIRLWIND YEAR ——————

Hard-working folk rocker Spencer Mackenzie Brown quickly winning over fans

By Fally Afani Special to the Journal-World

P

laying Middle of the Map Fest is something Spencer Mackenzie Brown never thought he’d do. But the Lawrence indie folk rocker will be hitting the Riot Room stage on Saturday as part of the massive music festival, and it’s all because he just had one heck of a year.

Encouraging words At the beginning of 2014, nobody had really heard of Brown. He was just getting his feet wet in his music career.

After years of watching one local band after another rule the vibrant music scene in Lawrence, Brown decided it was time to take action.

“I started going to local concerts and seeing local bands, and I really wanted to be a part of that,” he says, noting the fact that anyone from your friend to your neighbor was involved with live music.

“Going out and seeing these bands and knowing that I knew them was really encouraging. It was possible. You can play this music; it’s not that far or inaccessible.”

So after a few experiments with musicians, Brown got a band together and began hosting showcases in his home with other bands who weren’t quite yet hitting the venues.

“People seemed to like what I was doing,” says Brown, whose homerecorded demos leaked and wound up getting airplay on The Voice of Lawrence. After hearing his song on the radio, he got picked up for an acoustic show at South

by Southwest in Austin, Texas, last year.

“Nobody knew that I

Copt is an Emporia native and longtime instructor at the Lawrence Arts Center. His work spans landscape, portrait, figurative painting, sculpture and photography.

McCaffrey earned his bachelor’s degree in painting from Kansas University, and after graduate studies and traveling, returned in Lawrence in 2014 to teach painting and life drawing at KU. The pair’s current exhibition, “The Processed Picture l Painting and Photography by Louis Copt & Michael McCaffrey,” will close its run at the Cider Gallery on April 23.

Taxing situation Lawrence school officials are in a tough financial spot, but taxpayers would appreciate anything the district can do to minimize local tax increases.

L

ocal taxpayers understand that state funding decisions have put the Lawrence school district in a tough spot and they probably are willing to pay a little more to offset state funding cuts. Before they do that, however, they would like to know that school officials have done what they can to minimize increases in the property tax levy.

At Monday’s meeting, board members learned that the new block grant funding system would result in a $1.6 million cut for the Lawrence district.

That presents a significant challenge for the district.

One option to help deal with that cut, however, seems to have already been eliminated from consideration. “You can be assured,” Superintendent Rick Doll told the board, “that we’re not planning to ask you to cut $2 million more out of the budget, so we need to start thinking about the impact that’s going to have on the mill rate.”

In fact, district officials already had calculated that to offset state funding cuts, a 2-mill increase in local property taxes would be required.

Local taxpayers may be somewhat taken aback at what seems like a pretty reflexive response to the budget cuts: Raise taxes. Maybe the Lawrence school district can’t cut $2 million more from its budget, but how about $500,000? Taxpayers would appreciate any help they can get.

In fairness, this additional pressure on local property tax primarily is a result of state, not local, policies. Gov. Sam Brownback and state legislators are willing to push more of the tax burden onto state sales tax or local property taxes to make up for lost income tax revenue. Protecting the income tax cuts that were supposed to be a “shot of adrenaline” to the Kansas economy is their top priority, and in order to preserve those cuts, they find it acceptable to require local taxes to pick up expenses that previously had been the responsibility of the state. The Lawrence school district certainly isn’t the only district in the state that is feeling the impact of state funding priorities.

Local taxpayers have always supported local schools and they likely want to continue that trend. But we’re all in this together, and taxpayers would appreciate anything school officials can do to trim costs and the subsequent need for more tax money.

OLD HOME TOWN

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for April 16, 1915: “Today is spring cleaning day in Kansas and dirt has been flyyears ing all over the sunflower state ago since morning. Elaborate plans IN 1915 had been made in city and rural districts and the cleaning is to be one of the most effective since the plan was inaugurated.... Most of the Kansas towns have responded to the call of Governor Capper and their local officials and are conducting a strenuous clean-up campaign. The men that were employed by the city of Lawrence started from the city hall early this morning and started the work of cleaning the alleys.”

Good or bad, ‘Government’ is us On Sunday, it will be 20 years since the morning a bomb destroyed the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City and took 168 human lives. Nineteen of those lives belonged to children.

Maybe it takes you by surprise that it has been so long. Maybe you wonder where the time went. And maybe you remember... ... the ghastly pictures of that building, the front of it sheared away. ... the firefighter emerging from the rubble, tenderly cradling that dying baby. ... the bloody and lacerated people wandering dazedly from the wreckage. ... the breathless speculation that surely the culprits had to be Muslims.

And maybe you remember, too, that sense of vertiginous shock some people felt when we got our first look at the man who planted the bomb and discovered him to be, not a swarthy Muslim with a heavy beard and hard-topronounce name, but a cleancut, apple pie-faced young white man named Timothy McVeigh. People could not have been more nonplussed if Richie Cunningham had shot up a shopping mall.

But the tragedy was to contain one last surprise. It

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

“

Twenty years ago, the idea of anti-government resistance seemed confined to a lunatic fringe operating in the shadows beyond the mainstream. Twenty years later, it is the mainstream…” came when we learned why McVeigh committed his atrocity. It seems he hated the government.

That revelation was our introduction to a world whose very existence most of us had never suspected. Meaning the so-called patriot movement, the armed, radical right-wing extremists who refuse to recognize the authority of the nation’s duly constituted and elected government. Maybe you remember the news reports of how they spent

nights and weekends drilling in the woods, playing soldier in anticipation of the day ZOG — the Zionist Occupied Government — ceded the country to the United Nations and soldiers of the New World Order came rappelling down from black helicopters to seize everybody’s guns.

Maybe you remember how crazy it all sounded.

But that was then. Twenty years ago, the idea of anti-government resistance seemed confined to a lunatic fringe operating in the shadows beyond the mainstream.

Twenty years later, it is the mainstream, the beating heart of the Republican Party. And while certainly no responsible figure on the right advocates or condones what he did, it is just as certain that McVeigh’s violent antipathy toward Washington, his conviction that America’s government is America’s enemy, has bound itself to the very DNA of modern conservatism.

It lives in Grover Norquist’s pledge to shrink government down until “we can drown it in the bathtub,” in Chuck Norris’ musing about the need for “a second American revolution,” in Michele Bachmann’s fear that the census is an evil conspiracy. It lives

in dozens of right-wing terror plots documented by the Southern Poverty Law Center since the 1995 bombing, including last year’s murder of two police officers and a Wal-Mart shopper by two anti-government activists in Las Vegas. It lives in Cliven Bundy’s armed standoff with federal officials.

These days, it is an article of faith on the political right that “government” is a faceless, amorphous Other. But this government brought itself into being with three words — “We the people” — and they are neither incidental nor insignificant. Our government may be good, may be bad, may be something in between, but as long as we are a free society, the one thing it always is, is us. Meaning: a manifestation of our common will, a decision a majority of us made. We are allowed to be furious at it, but even in fury, we always have peaceful tools for its overthrow. So there is never a reason to do what McVeigh did.

We all know that, of course. But 20 years after the day they brought babies out of the rubble in pieces would be an excellent time to pause and remind ourselves, just the same.

PUBLIC FORUM

Positive coverage To the editor: Is Kansas University’s cup half empty or half full? Or maybe running over? The April 11 Saturday Column took a well-deserved shot at the “lack of support” from the Legislature. Given the outright hostility shown by some legislators, maybe we will need to change our description from state-assisted university to state-impeded university. The Board of Regents also took a justified hit. We thought they were allies until they drew up the absurd policy on social media (under intense pressure from some legislators) that allows employees to be fired for any communication that “impairs … harmony among coworkers,” and many other provocations. The usual gratuitous jab at the chancellor seemed entirely unwarranted.

On the other, KU added three new distinguished professors and five Foundation Distinguished Professors in the past year, rewarding years of searches by highly quali-

fied, dedicated search committees.

Cumulatively, this group of worldclass scholars received less notice from the Journal-World than the average basketball recruit, although they are each likely to stay more than one year. The sports recruit can look forward to being featured in multiple multi-page stories during a year at KU. The scholar’s next coverage might be in the obituaries, unless she happens to win a Nobel Prize (or write to the editor). Why not expand coverage of the many positive things happening on the Hill? The folks of Lawrence might like to know; maybe even some legislators will take notice.

70 years ago, nation mourned FDR

By Bill Tuttle

Seventy years ago this week, on April 12, 1945, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt was stricken with a cerebral hemorrhage and died at Warm Springs, Ga. The president died on the eve of victory against Germany and Japan in the Second World War; just three weeks after his death, Germany signed the instrument of unconditional surrender to the Allies.

YOUR TURN 1944 with his smallest voter margin yet, drawing under 55 percent of the popular vote.

“My parents detested FDR,” recalled Paul Alexander, the son of a Methodist minister. “They blamed him for all the problems.” Whatever they thought of Roosevelt, most of the homefront children thought that he would, as one explained, “always be there, always be our president.” Indeed, for these children, he had always been the president.

“He was president when I was born and I was almost 12 when he died,” recalled a homefront boy. “I was shocked the day we learned that President Roosevelt had died,” remembered a girl from Dover, Dela. “I had assumed that he would be president forever. … I was really afraid. I thought nobody else would know how to be president.”

Like the distinct memories they had of Pearl Harbor earlier and of John F. Kennedy’s death years later, for numerous homefront children time stopped on April 12, 1945, when they learned of Roosevelt’s death. They remembered the tears of their parents and the sobbing of people in the streets. An 11-year-old girl thought her father had gone “into shock — I never saw him with such an expression on his face.

And then he started to cry,” something she had never seen him do before. For homefront children who had never experienced a death in the family, Roosevelt was, recalled one girl, “the first person I mourned for in my life!”

The homefront girls and boys listened to the radio accounts of Roosevelt’s funeral train as it proceeded to his home at Hyde Park, N.Y. Musical dirges accom-

panied the broadcasters’ descriptions.

Lining the tracks were grade-school students holding red roses and singing “God Bless America.” Howard Kleinberg, a 12-year-old living in the Bronx, wrote that at 5 in the morning, he felt his father shaking him. “Get up,” he said, “we’re going to say goodbye to the president.”

They walked to a bridge spanning the Harlem River; under the Bronx side of the bridge ran the railroad tracks toward upstate New York. “There we stood, just the two of us, me and my dad. Through the gloomy dawn, a train light appeared. … Slowly it came to a point just under the bridge. … I could make out the last car, with its circular windows through which I saw a flag-covered casket. I looked up at my dad. He was saluting — and he was crying.”

Collecting scrap materials, buying War Bonds, observing the rationing requirements, and, most of all, imbibing in the nation’s intense pride and unity — thus did the homefront children participate in the victory. And when they heard that the president had died, they grieved along with the rest of the nation. Four score years earlier, on April 15, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln, another wartime president, had died of an assassin’s bullet. Just a week before, Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee had surrendered to Union Gen. Ulysses S. Grant at Appomatox Courthouse, Va., ending the Civil War. Now, 80 years later almost to the day, President Roosevelt was dead. Both Lincoln and Roosevelt, arguably America’s two greatest presidents, had died at the time of their greatest triumphs.

Flanders previously was liaison between the Regents and the Kansas Department of Commerce.

Tompkins’ retirement caps a long career in public education, which included teaching high school English, being a principal and superintendent and various university teaching and administrator positions. According to the Regents, he most recently served as the dean of the college of education and as associate professor in the Department of Special Services and Leadership Studies at Pittsburg State University.

Wilk said the decision to hire Flanders was not made quickly or lightly, and had been in the works for several months.

Flanders is a native of tiny Edson and an alumnus of Kansas State University.

“I want our higher education system to give Kansans the same opportunity I had — an excellent education that’s affordable,” Flanders told the board. “We need to continue to press on to increase the attainment for all of Kansas.”

At the Board of Regents Flanders has focused on the state’s postsecondary education system’s role in the development of an educated workforce that aligns with the needs of

Tompkins was the Kansas commissioner of education from 1996 to 2005.

He has been president and CEO of the Regents since 2010.

Multiple regents praised Tompkins’ professional achievements but also his integrity and commitment to others.

In all his years of working in education, Tompkins never tired of “loving to serve people,” Regent Fred Logan said.

The regents, in a press release, shared a statement from Tompkins, given during the Pittsburg State University Apple Day celebration in March.

“What I ultimately discovered in my late 20s and early 30s, was that being in service to a broader good was much more fulfilling,” Tompkins said. “In essence, ‘we’ became more important than ‘me.’”

“The jury found that he was just a man who committed a brutal murder,” District Attorney Thomas Quinn told reporters. “The fact that he was a professional athlete meant nothing in the end.”

Violence against Jews surges Anti-Semitic attacks up 40% last year Kim Hjelmgaard @khjelmgaard USA TODAY

The number of violent anti-Semitic attacks around the world surged nearly 40% last year, according to a report released Wednesday by researchers at Tel Aviv University in Israel.

The report found there were 766 recorded incidents against Jewish people in 2014 — the worst year for attacks since 2009.

It was released ahead of Israel commemorating Holocaust Remembrance Day, which began Wednesday at sundown.

The attacks were “by arson, vandalism or direct threats against Jewish persons or institutions such as synagogues, community centers, schools, cemeteries and monuments as well as private property,” said the report, based at the Kantor Center at Tel Aviv University.

In 2013, there were 554 registered incidents.

“The overall feeling among many Jewish people is one of living in an intensifying anti-Jewish environment that has become not

only insulting and threatening, but outright dangerous,” it said.

There was a sharp rise in the number of incidents in the United Kingdom (141 in 2014, compared with 95 in 2013); Australia (30 vs. 11); Germany (76 vs. 36); Austria (9 vs. 4); Italy (23 vs. 12); and Sweden (17 vs. 3).

The highest number of violent cases last year was in France, which saw 164 incidences compared to 141 in 2013.

In recent years, the country has consistently seen the most reported cases of anti-Semitic violence worldwide, the report said.

In January, four people were killed at a kosher supermarket

during a terrorist attack in Paris.

The report identified a number of reasons for the spike in attacks last year, including the conflict in Gaza between Hamas and Israel, plus a “general climate of hatred

and violence” that has accompanied the sudden rise of Islamic State militants in Syria and Iraq.

The attacks in Paris were not counted as part of the report because they occurred this year.

sands of medical tools and appliances it regulates – from pacemakers to instrument sterilizers.

“We are aware that there are reported duodenoscope-associated infections that have occurred for which we have not received MDRs, and we are looking into whether some of those reports should have been submitted,” says William Maisel, deputy director for the FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health.

The reports “are an important early warning system,” Maisel says. “Individual MDRs often don’t contain sufficient information for the agency to make a definitive determination (of problems with a device), but we certainly believe manufacturers should be reporting them to us,” so the agency can spot patterns of concern.

ANONYMOUS REPORTING

Duodenoscopes are used about 500,000 times a year, often to treat problems in the bile and pancreatic ducts, such as gallstones and tumors. Determining which manufacturers have failed to notify the FDA of the devices’ contamination problems is challenging.

USA TODAY reviewed the FDA’s public database for MDRs on duodenoscope-related infections and did not find enough reports to account for all the CRE outbreaks linked to the devices.

The reports are redacted by the FDA to remove identifying information, including the name of the hospital, city and state where infections occurred, so the newspaper could not pinpoint which specific outbreaks had no corresponding reports — or which manufacturers failed to file them.

Though the FDA confirmed MDRs were missing for some scope-related outbreaks, it declined to identify those cases or the manufacturers involved, citing its ongoing investigation.

At least six of the CRE outbreaks linked to duodenoscopes occurred at hospitals that used models made by Olympus, according to information gathered

by USA TODAY. The company, which dominates the duodenoscope market, declined repeated requests for comment on its MDR filings, citing pending lawsuits filed by patients claiming harm from the infections.

Pentax, which also makes duodenoscopes, declined to discuss specifics about its reporting. “It is Pentax Medical’s practice to submit medical device reports when we become aware of a device-associated safety issue,” the company said in a statement, adding that it is committed to filing MDRs for “any safety-related incidents that are reported to us by healthcare institutions or providers.”

A third manufacturer, FUJIFILM, acknowledged that its duodenoscopes were linked to CRE-related infections in three patients at one hospital, and USA TODAY determined through public records and interviews that the outbreak occurred in April 2014 in Illinois. In a statement to the newspaper, the company said it learned of the infections in May 2014 and filed a medical device report to the FDA “within the

(30-day) period required.”

The company provided a copy of the MDR, and USA TODAY confirmed it was received by the FDA in June.

OUTBREAK IN SEATTLE

When officials from Olympus arrived at Virginia Mason Hospital in November 2013, there was little doubt the CRE infections spreading among patients were tied to the company’s duodenoscopes.

By then, more than a half dozen people at the Seattle facility had been infected after treatment with the scopes. Investigators from the hospital and the health department matched the CRE bacteria sickening patients to bacteria found on the scopes.

The visitors from Olympus were given access to the scopes, and those scopes were sent to the company for more detailed examination, according to reports from county health officials, hospital investigators and epidemiologists from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The Olympus representatives observed how the hospital’s technicians washed and disinfected the devices between uses, a procedure known as “reprocessing,” and validated that the work was free of errors that might explain the bacteria found on the scopes, according to those same official accounts.

It wasn’t until nine months after that visit — August 2014 — that the FDA received an “initial” medical device report from Olympus to disclose that the company’s scopes had been implicated in the Seattle outbreak.

The MDR from Olympus differed from the official accounts in key respects. The Olympus report says the company was informed by the hospital in 2013 of “alleged infections” in patients treated with its duodenoscopes. It never mentions that Olympus representatives visited Virginia Mason in the midst of the outbreak and reviewed evidence that the scopes transmitted CRE. The MDR from Olympus says the company never got a chance to examine the scopes, and it reports that the hospital declined an offer from Olympus to have the company’s staff assess the hospital’s reprocessing operation.

Ultimately, more than 30 pa-

SPECIALIZED SCOPE USED IN DIGESTIVE TRACT A duodenoscope is a special type of endoscope that is threaded down a patient’s throat to treat gallstones, certain cancers and other digestive disorders, usually in the bile or pancreatic ducts. The device has an “elevator” mechanism at its tip, which allows doctors to control tiny devices that extend from the scope.

tients at Virginia Mason contracted CRE in the episode; 11 of them died, though most had other serious illnesses that may have contributed to their deaths.

When asked about the apparent discrepancies in Olympus’ MDR, Gale Robinette, a spokesman for the hospital, declined to speculate on why the company’s account differed so sharply from the reports submitted by the physicians and government epidemiologists who investigated the outbreak.

He called the company’s narrative “surprising.”

FLAWED TRACKING SYSTEM

In 2013 and 2014, the FDA received 75 medical device reports documenting possible infections from duodenoscopes in 135 patients. Dozens of those reports are duplicates — when manufacturers do file MDRs, they often

submit multiple versions for the same event — so the number of reports doesn’t necessarily reflect the true number of infection cases that have occurred.

The reporting problems highlight an Achilles’ heel in the FDA’s oversight of medical devices: The responsibility for identifying potential safety problems falls primarily on manufacturers themselves. If a flaw in a medical implant, a surgical instrument or some other device goes unreported, the product can remain in use for months or years, raising profound public health risks.

Federal auditors have raised concerns repeatedly about the system’s reliability. Many patient safety advocates say the problems are compounded by the system’s lack of transparency, arguing that the FDA’s redactions in publicly released MDRs make it tough for consumers to spot patterns of concern.

“This system of filing these (MDR) reports is the only thing in place that can tell us that devices are having problems, (and) … it often puts the interests of (device) manufacturers and the hospitals ahead of the public,” says Lisa McGiffert, who heads the Safe Patient Project at Consumers Union, the publisher of Consumer Reports. “It’s a pretty weak system.”

One of the most vexing problems is that there’s virtually no way for the FDA to know when manufacturers don’t file MDRs. If a company fails to disclose problems with its device, they’re likely to remain hidden unless they happen to come to the FDA’s attention through agency inspections of the company’s operation or some other route, such as news stories, whistle-blower tips or reports from hospitals.

When manufacturers do file MDRs, they may not get much scrutiny.

ENFORCEMENT CHALLENGES

A 2008 audit by the Inspector General for the Department of Health and Human Services found that device manufacturers filed upward of 140,000 MDRs a year — more than double the number in 2003. Only a third of those reports were reviewed by FDA analysts within 30 days, the audit said, and less than half within 60 days.

The audit noted that the FDA has no way to know when — or how often — manufacturers fail to file MDRs, and it found that the agency “rarely” takes action when the reports are late.

“The inability to obtain complete and usable information in (MDRs) hinders analysts’ review,” the audit concluded. It recommended that the FDA consider tougher enforcement measures to “identify and target manufacturers … with a history of noncompliance with (MDR) submission requirements.”

In a statement to USA TODAY, the FDA said it does “routine surveillance” to ensure device manufacturers file MDRs when their products are tied to possible safety risks.

In 2013 and 2014, the FDA issued more than 100 warning letters to companies for failing to abide by medical device reporting requirements, according to figures provided by the agency.

Those letters typically advise manufacturers of regulatory violations and warn of possible legal penalties if the problems aren’t corrected.

The FDA said it did not have data on how often it takes enforcement action after such letters, but it did cite several recent cases.

For example, the agency filed suit last year to halt a New Jersey company’s production of a medical gel linked to 16 infections reported by a Michigan hospital.

The suit includes charges that the company did not file a timely MDR after learning the gel was contaminated. The company denies the allegations, and the case is pending.

QUESTIONING MAKERS

Since USA TODAY first reported on the duodenoscope-related infections in January, the FDA has issued safety alerts and guidance on ways to reduce contamination risks with more robust cleaning and disinfection.

Officials have not sought to recall the devices, insisting that they remain the safest, least-invasive option for lifesaving procedures, and infection risks remain relatively low. Instead, they are determining whether manufacturers should redesign the scopes or develop better cleaning protocols.

Last month, the FDA and Olympus announced that the company had validated new cleaning guidelines for a duodenoscope model that was in use at several hospitals that had CRE outbreaks.

No similar guidelines have been issued for other brands and models of duodenoscopes that remain on the market.

Concern about the devices is mounting.

Ten members of Congress recently wrote the FDA seeking details on its progress in addressing the contamination problems.

Rep. Ted Lieu, D-Calif., followed up with scope manufacturers to pose specific questions about whether they responded appropriately when those problems surfaced.

“When did Olympus first learn that its duodenoscope was causing CRE infections and outbreaks?” Lieu asked in a letter to the company. “What did Olympus do with that information?”

REVIEWING 100 DAYS OF GOP CONTROL

Now that the first 100 days of the first GOP-controlled Congress in nearly a decade are in the rearview mirror, Republicans say the party is knocking the dust off its governing playbook for what could be one of the more productive legislative periods in recent years.

“When the American people elect divided government they don’t expect nothing to happen,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said in an interview with USA TODAY on Wednesday, the 100th day of the new Congress. “What they anticipate will happen is people on both sides will look for things they can agree on to go forward.”

If it happens, it could mark a new era on Capitol Hill, where the previous four years of one party controlling the NICHOLAS KAMM, AFP/GETTY IMAGES Senate and the Republicans, in control of Congress, hope for a new era on Capitol Hill.

Economy still growing, slowly

John Waggoner @JohnWaggoner USA TODAY

The economy continued to grow at a stubbornly slow pace in late winter, with significant drag from layoffs in the oil patch, according to the Federal Reserve’s beige book, an anecdotal roundup of business conditions at the 12 Fed districts.

The beige book, which comes out every six weeks, said the economy in February and March was improving “modestly” or “moderately” across most districts, although Atlanta and Kansas City were simply holding steady.

ON THE BRIGHT SIDE uNon-financial firms saw rising activity across all districts, the Fed said, with demand picking up for high-tech services such as cyber security and Web development. The Boston and Richmond MONEYLINE JAPAN NOW AT TOP OF LIST OF U.S. CREDITORS Japan is now the largest foreign holder of U.S. Treasury securities, surpassing China, according to the Treasury Department. As of the end of February, Japan held $1,224.4 billion of U.S. government securities, up from $1,210.8 billion a year earlier.

China held $1,223.7 billion, down from $1,272.9 billion a year earlier. Foreigners own about 47% of the $13.1 trillion of U.S. Treasury debt outstanding. The majority of Treasury debt is owned by U.S. investors, pensions and the Fed. Another $5.1 trillion of federal debt is considered intergovernmental holdings, mainly securities owned by the Social Security trust fund.

SEGWAY BOUGHT BY RIVAL Segway, the iconic but struggling U.S. maker of selfbalancing personal electric scooters, has been bought by a Chinese rival.

Beijing-based Ninebot, which makes a range of short-distance USA TODAY motorized transport devices, said Wednesday that it bought Segway for an undisclosed amount. It said it received $80 million from a group of investors to finance the purchase.

Among retailers, the outlook was optimistic in six major cities.

Agricultural conditions worsened slightly, due to adverse weather.

Manufacturing activity was mixed, hurt by the strong dollar.

Fed districts saw an increase in health care services, and service providers in Boston, Philadelphia, Kansas City and Dallas were optimistic about near-term growth trends for their firms. uMany districts said that savings from lower gas prices was fueling consumer sales — as was better weather. Among retailers, the outlook was optimistic in Boston, Philadelphia, Atlanta, St. Louis, Kansas City and Dallas, the Fed said. Auto sales rose in most districts, and all districts expected corporate and leisure travel to be up in 2015.

uMost Fed districts reported a tight supply of residential real estate, and only New York reported softening conditions in the residential real estate market.

In Chicago, inventories of homes were near historic lows, especially for lower-priced homes. And the Fed says banking conditions are generally favorable.

key producers in the Minneapolis district were worried about an outbreak of an extremely virulent strain of flu that has killed thousands of birds. uEnergy market conditions declined in the oil patch: The number of active drilling rigs fell in Cleveland, Minneapolis, Kansas City and Dallas. Active drilling rigs in North Dakota and Montana reached their lowest levels in five years. The Cleveland, Atlanta and Kansas City districts reported layoffs. uManufacturing activity was mixed, hurt by the soaring value

of the dollar, which makes U.S. goods more expensive overseas.

And falling oil prices hurt new orders to energy supplier companies in Cleveland, Chicago, Kansas City, Dallas and San Francisco.

The Federal Reserve has kept a keen eye on wages, which have remained stubbornly low.

In Chicago, skilled workers were in high demand, according to the Fed, and firms in many districts, including Richmond, Atlanta, St. Louis, Kansas City and Dallas, said they were having a hard time finding skilled workers.

With Toyota, Mexico scores again New $1B plant adds to production boon there James R. Healey USA TODAY

FREDERIC J. BROWN, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

Most Fed districts reported a tight supply of residential real estate.

Toyota Motor said Wednesday it will invest $1 billion in a new Mexican car factory, a striking investment that is, after all, just another good day for Mexico.

Ford Motor plans to say Friday it will put as much as $2.5 billion into expanding two powertrain plants in Mexico. Honda Motor recently opened a plant there.

Volkswagen delayed the U.S. launch of its redesigned Golf until it finished an expansion at a Mexico plant that builds the Jetta for the U.S. Audi, not content to share a factory with corporate cousin VW, is building a separate plant in Mexico. Hyundai corporate affiliate Kia is building the first plant in Mexico from a South Korean maker.

Those are in addition to plants already in Mexico that build hundreds of thousands of Chevrolet, GMC and Ram trucks every year,

Production of the Toyota Corolla will move from Canada to Mexico, adding 2,000 jobs to its economy.

as well as cars sold in the U.S. by Ford, Nissan, FCA (formerly Chrysler Group) and others.

For Toyota, the big Mexico investment will result in a state-ofthe-art plant that in 2019 should begin building a next-generation 2020 Corolla compact sedan.

Toyota already has a pickup truck plant in Mexico.

The new plant will replace Corolla production at a plant in Canada that will switch to a “midsize, high-value” model, says Jim Lentz, CEO of Toyota Motor North American operations. The Mexico plant will build 200,000 Corollas annually, creating 2,000 jobs. Those are jobs that could have been in the U.S. but aren’t because “we’re not as competitive here; it’s a really big deal,” says

David Cole, chairman emeritus of the Center for Auto Research.

Low wages in Mexico are an undeniable draw. But just as attractive are Mexico’s well-educated and mechanically trained workforce and the generous incentives the Mexican government provides, Cole notes.

Capping it all: Mexico has freetrade agreements with more than four times as many countries as the U.S. Mexico’s “combination of low-cost labor and free-trade agreements make Mexico one of the most cost-effective locations for automotive assembly,” says Karl Brauer, senior analyst at auto researcher Kelley Blue Book.

Lentz said Toyota’s decision has little to do with trade, because it build Corollas in several countries and already exports them to 18 countries from its Blue Spring, Miss., factory. But that could change.

Cole worries that carmakers’ plans signal a corrosive problem: “The irony is that (U.S.) labor has opposed the trade agreements as amounting to exporting jobs.

Well, our lack of such agreements is exporting jobs,” he says.

SAN FRANCISCO Facing intensifying scrutiny from regulators, Google is conducting one of its most important searches yet: for an answer to its growing problem in Europe.

The European Commission has formally accused the U.S. technology giant of abusing its dominance in online shopping searches. It has also expanded the antitrust probe into whether Google uses its popular Android software to gain an unfair advantage over other applications and services on mobile devices.

The European Commission’s antitrust chief, Margrethe Vestager, who on Wednesday issued the formal charges, warned Google that her inquiry could expand into other areas such as travel and maps.

At stake for the Internet giant: billions of dollars in fines and fundamental changes to how it conducts business, from the money it makes from online search in Europe to the prominent placement of its services and apps on mobile devices.

“The European process is not one in which American tech companies have prevailed,” Boston University law professor Keith Hylton said. “That puts Google in the position of potentially having to make concessions that could be harmful to the company’s business.”

The commission’s probe touches on the everyday activities of consumers across Europe, whether they are searching for the best online shopping deals or pulling out a smartphone to look up directions or watch a video.

Google accounts for 90% of all Internet searches in Europe.

Google denies it has broken antitrust rules and insists its products benefit consumers and encourage competition.

In a separate blog post, Google said its partnerships with phone makers are voluntary and benefit consumers and manufacturers.

At issue is whether Google’s practice of bundling apps such as YouTube and Maps with its Android software harms competing apps and services as well as device manufacturers, who are forced to take the Google apps along with the rest of the Android software. Android is the world’s most popular operating system with a market share estimated at 81%.

The EU has been investigating Google for five years. Google nearly settled the case without any charges last year but the deal fell apart.

Google investors not showing much worry Q: Will Google fall to regulation?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Google has been slippery for regulators. The online advertising giant eluded antitrust actions by various states and the Federal Trade Commission. But the European Union isn’t giving up so easily.

EU antitrust regulators announced Wednesday they plan to press further on a case claiming Google used its essential monopoly in online search to bolster other products like shopping services.

Also at issue is the way Google bundles its online services with its mobile operating system, Android.

Investors have learned that when large regulators get interested in a tech company, there’s reason to worry. Microsoft had its hands tied behind its back for years as punishment following antitrust actions by U.S. and European regulators.

Google investors think this time is different. Shares rose Wednesday on the news. Colin Sebastian, analyst at Robert W. Baird, wrote in a note to clients that the accusations are out of date and that Google has already reformed. The EU’s move is a warning to Internet companies, and monetary penalties might be paid, but he doesn’t see a long-term risk to Google. Google has beaten raps against it before. And Wall Street analysts think this stock has 16% upside.

But investors have learned: When regulators get involved, surprises can happen.

Thousands of protesters from N.Y. to Calif. demand $15 wages Bruce Horovitz and Yamiche Alcindor USA TODAY

Low-wage workers — and their sympathizers — had their say coast to coast on Wednesday.

Thousands of workers and protesters from New York City to Los Angeles walked, marched and shouted their demands in front of fast-food locations and on several major college campuses for $15an-hour wages. No arrests were reported. At least one McDonald’s in New York City was temporarily closed by protesters. Several Mc-

FIGHT FOR $15

Workers rally at a separate protest at a Detroit McDonald’s on Tuesday.

Donald’s stores kept drivethroughs operating, even while the restaurants were temporarily locked.

Central to Wednesday’s strike

is the evolution of its scope. What began two years ago as a fast-food workers movement has propelled into something wider, with Wednesday’s protests including a range of workers workers from adjunct professors to home care and child care providers to Walmart employees.

Strikers and protesters were occasionally joined by high-profile officials, such as former U.S. Labor secretary Robert Reich, who led a walkout at a McDonald’s in Oakland, prompting three workers to go on strike.

Organizers called it the largestever mobilization of U.S. workers

seeking higher pay. That could not be confirmed, but thousands took part in the protests and campus activities in what organizers claim are 226 cities coast to coast. There also was a global element to the protests, with McDonald’s stores in Athens, Toronto, Sao Paulo and Hong Kong all hit by protesters demanding higher wages.

“It’s something different,” said Kendall Fells, organizing director of Fight for $15, which is funded by the Service Employees International Union. “This is much more of an economic and racial justice movement than the fast-

food workers’ strikes of the past two years.”

Hundreds of protesters took to the streets across New York City.

In Brooklyn, crowds blocked traffic. In Manhattan, organizers lay on the pavement outside a McDonald’s. Many chanted, “This is what democracy looks like,” and waved “Fight for $15” signs.

“We are the backbones of these fast-food restaurants, and I believe that we should be more rewarded,” said Jorge Math, a McDonald’s cashier who makes $8.75. “Most of us have to get a second job so we can sustain ourselves.”

“When I was younger, I was more interested. It was hard to resist. Now I let it go. There’s nothing you can do, really,” he says, turning to Franco. “Do you?”

Franco, who is vocal on Instagram and Twitter, shakes his head.

“You can watch anybody who starts to get attention — you can see everybody coming to grips with it. It’s a very powerful draw,” he says. “If people are writing about you, what do they think?

Dude, chill out. If you’re in the public eye and if people are writing about you, unless you’re a politician and running on issues you need to answer and be clear about, people are going to have their own experience of our movie, our performance, and who we are.

“I don’t read anything about myself anymore. It would drive you crazy. There are times you do want to respond, and it never works out if you defend yourself or fight back. The great thing about Instagram is that you can block people.”

Says Hill: “I love how this interview has turned into ‘Do we Google ourselves?’ ” Franco is happy to answer: “I haven’t Googled myself in a year.”

Patricia Clarkson says she’s amazed how many people she knows in New York City who have never learned to drive.

Even the Academy Awardnominated Clarkson, 55, has fallen rusty behind the wheel since relocating to New York years ago.

So it’s not a far-fetched twist that her middle-aged Manhattan character in the film Learning to Drive has lessons that prove lifechanging — and lead to a warm friendship with her Sikh instructor, played by Ben Kingsley.

That relationship is at the heart of director Isabel Coixet’s comedy, in theaters Aug. 21.

“When you are learning to drive, you have to be present; you have to pay attention,” Clarkson says. “All of these things are new to my character.

LINDA KALLERUS, BROAD GREEN PICTURES

Darwan (Ben Kingsley) becomes the unlikely driving instructor for the suddenly adrift Wendy (Patricia Clarkson).

“What’s beautiful is that it is not a movie about a middle-aged woman trying to find herself, but one trying to find others.”

The comedy begins when Clarkson’s character, Wendy, a book critic, has a relationshipending fight with her unfaithful husband in the back seat of a cab driven by Kingsley’s Darwan.

EXCLUSIVE TRAILER LIFE.USATODAY.COM

Get your first look at footage from Learning to Drive.

When Darwan, who also teaches driving school, tracks her down to return a manuscript she accidentally left in the taxi, the abruptly single Wendy decides to

take lessons to aid her new quest for independence.

She gets to know the soft-spoken Darwan, a man dealing with his own life changes while planning an arranged marriage.

“There are a lot of intimate moments when it’s just the student and instructor in the car,” Clarkson says. “Slowly, they open up to one another.”

The pairing reunited Clarkson and Kingsley, who starred as lovers in Coixet’s 2008 drama Elegy.

Kingsley, who won a best-actor Oscar for his performance in the title role of 1982’s Gandhi, says the Sikh community in Queens embraced the film and allowed the filmmakers to shoot scenes in one of its temples.

Each day, the movie’s Sikh adviser would place the turban on Kingsley’s head, which helped the actor find his peaceful character.

And Clarkson had to relearn her driving skills, which led to some exciting moments.

“That’s really me driving over the bridge,” she says. “We had a couple of close calls. It was life and art coming together.”

KU’s Self boasts about newest recruit

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Ellis’ return huge for KU Now that Perry Ellis has eased tension about next season’s outlook by announcing his return, the Kansas University basketball program has one necessity and one luxury remaining.

Landing a quality big man is a must, either via graduate transfer or a high school signing. That would leave Kansas without a hole on its 2015-16 roster.

Then shopping would be restricted to the elite lot, where two names stand above the rest: Malik Newman and Jaylen Brown. Newman didn’t need to have a strong McDonald’s All-American game to convince some he’s the most talented high school basketball player in the nation.

Newman, a 6-foot-3, 180-pound, do-it-all guard from Jackson, Mississippi, laid an egg in Chicago in the burger exhibition, which did nothing to dissuade his many suitors.

He looks like a miniLeBron on his highlight tapes, featuring a build beyond his years, an ultra-soft touch with deep range and loud finishes at the rim. He and Brown could improve any roster, but even if they head elsewhere, KU can upgrade significantly from a year ago, provided the final big-man piece completes the puzzle.

Mike Thorne, a 6-11, 270-pound graduate from Charlotte, averaged 10.1 points and 7.3 rebounds for the 49ers this past winter.

He doesn’t have the flashy athleticism and skills to match some of the Class of 2015 big men, but with a mature build and game, he represents more of a sure thing in lending immediate help. Cheick Diallo, the 6-9, 225-pound power forward from Centereach, New York, is another attractive option because of his athletic ability and high motor more than because of his McDonald’s Most Outstanding Player hardware.

No possible news on the recruiting front could top Ellis’ decision to return.

He’s a legitimate candidate to win the Senior Class Award and for first-team All-America honors.

In the nine games leading up to the West Virginia comeback victory in Allen Fieldhouse, in which Ellis injured his knee, the forward from Wichita averaged 18.8 points, 8.6 rebounds, shot .538 from the field and made half of his eight three-pointers.

After returning from the injury, Ellis clearly was playing in pain as reported by every media outlet — which made coach Bill Self’s statement that the media had no idea how badly he was hurt a strange one — wincing, not jumping nearly as well. He toughed it out and gave it all he had, earning the respect of teammates and fans alike.

Anybody who’s not fired up Ellis is returning hasn’t been paying attention.

Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self was elated to receive Carlton Bragg’s scholarship letter of intent early Wednesday, the first day of the monthlong spring signing period.

The 6-foot-9, 225-pound

senior power forward from Cleveland’s Villa Angela St. Joseph High, who is ranked No. 15 nationally by Rivals. com, is expected to play major minutes for the Jayhawks his freshman campaign.

“Carlton is a legitimate 6-foot-9 inch scoring- and shooting-type of power forward,” Self said Wednesday.

“Certainly, he’s one of the more skilled big guys that we’ve signed since we’ve been here.”

Bragg, who committed to KU over Kentucky, Illinois, UCLA and Arizona back in January, should be able to help both on the inside and outside.

“He has a good enough jump shot to pull the bigs

out, knock down threes. He can run the floor,” Bragg’s mentor, former VASJ assistant Michael Graves, told the Journal-World after Bragg committed to KU. “Sort of like a Kevin Lovetype person. He can rebound and bang but also hit Please see BRAGG, page 3C Bragg

Firebird Robinson takes hurdle titles

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Free State High junior Tayvien Robinson didn’t go out for the track team for the past two years. But this spring, he wanted to join some of his best friends on the Firebirds squad, and he’s doing more than just having fun on the sidelines.

Robinson set a personal record when he won in the 300-meter hurdles (44.49),

and he also took first place in the 100 hurdles.

Robinson’s wins were among the many highlights for the Firebirds and Lawrence High’s track-and-field teams at the LHS Invitational on Wednesday — also known as the “Little KU Relays” — which is for all of the athletes who didn’t qualify for this weekend’s Kansas Relays.

Kansas’ Stigler Relays must-see

By Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworldcom

Michael Stigler’s 48.44 time in the 400-meter hurdles, set at the Texas Relays, remains the fastest mark in the world thus far in 2015.

He’s a must-watch at this weekend’s Kansas Relays for anybody who hasn’t seen him float so smoothly over the hurdles. The Stigler 400-meter final is scheduled for 3:16 p.m. Saturday.

A passionate track-andfield enthusiast, Stigler not only loves participating, he

place, while Free State’s girls tied for third, and the boys took fifth.

With some of the top hurdlers sitting out in preparation for this weekend’s mega-meet, Robinson made the most of his chance to shine.

“Oh, man, it’s a real confidence boost,” Robinson said with a wide smile. “I can’t wait until the next meet now.

I want to see what I can do against the big dogs.”

Robinson, who last competed in track in the summer before his freshman year, has been working with FSHS coach Jordan Rose on his steps in between the hurdles and even just staying in his lane. After the rust started to wear off, he started to see solid results. He noted he had his lead foot over each hurdle Wednesday.

YOU CAN’T UALR coach WIN ‘EM ALL interviews

enjoys watching the sport as well, and said he wants to coach it when he’s done competing.

“I like all the events from the 100 to the steeplechase,” Stigler said. “Hundred, yeah, all right, who’s the fastest?

But steeple, there’s more strategy behind it. That’s what I love about distance races: strategy. Who to sit behind? When to kick? Those races Bruce Kluckhohn/AP Photo are fun to watch.”

The Thunder needed to a win in the regular-season finale and a loss from the Pelicans to make the playoffs. Westbrook locked up his first scoring title to hold up his end of the bargain, but the Pelicans beat the Spurs 108-103.

Vollmer leads heptahlon J-W Staff Reports

Kansas University All-American Lindsay Vollmer took the overnight lead in the heptathlon as the Kansas Relays kicked off Wednesday at Rock Chalk Park.

Vollmer, the 2013 NCAA heptahlon champion, was the top scorer

“I love watching Sydney (Conley). We’re close friends,” Stigler said of the standout jumper. “I love watching her. Her long jump, man, she’s a stud. She’s powerful, fast, and she’s a hard worker, man. She’s good.”

Who else?

“Josh Munsch, distance runner,” Stigler said.

“Love watching him run.

I call him Pretty Boy. He dresses so nice. Cleancut all the time. Good attitude. I’m like, ‘Man, I want to be like you one day. Maybe you can take me shopping.’ He’s a pleasure to watch because he knows how to compete.”

Members of KU’s team have logged performances that rank in the top 10 in school history in 14 events. Lindsay Vollmer holds the school record in the heptathlon.

Other women with top 10 marks: Anastasiya Muchkayev (shot put, discus), Conley (long jump), Hannah Richardson (1,500 meters) and Daina Levy (Hammer throw).

Four athletes from Lawrence will compete for Kansas this weekend: Trevor Hillis, Austin Hoag, Teri Huslig and Logan Sloan.

She has 3,440 points, 466 more than the runner-up.

Colorado State’s Hunter Price leads the decathlon with 3,691 points after Day One. The heptathlon will resume at 9 this morning as the Relays gets underway in earnest. The Relays runs through Saturday.

Quad format helps Relays return to roots

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Kansas University athletic director Sheahon Zenger is taking a different tack to return the Kansas Relays to its former glory.

Rather than bring in a few big-name national track stars to make headlines at the Relays, as has been the case in the recent past, Zenger — after discussions with KU coach Stanley Redwine — will try to put the Relays back in touch with its roots.

This year’s Relays, the second at KU’s stylish new Rock Chalk Park, will feature a four-team quadrangular. KU, Kansas State, Colorado State and Purdue will compete in every event in an effort to crown a champion.

the second round. In 2010, Foley took the school to its first appearance in the Div. I NCAA Tournament as a No.

“I’m a fan of track and field, and it’s an important part of our rich history as an institution,” Zenger said. “I want this to be a special week each year for the University of Kansas and for Lawrence. I really think this event can again become as special as it used to be.

“Our goal is that some day, when kids who grew up in Lawrence look back on their childhood, they’ll remember the Relays as the best week of the year.”

This year’s Relays will be the second to take place at Rock Chalk Park, but Zenger referred to last year’s running as more of “a soft opening” and expects this year’s event to be closer to what he hopes to see in the future.

Kansas University went 72⁄3 innings before collecting its first hit and managed just two on the night in a 3-0 loss to No. 15 Missouri State on Wednesday at Hoglund Ballpark.

It was KU’s eighth straight setback to the Bears (25-8). Kansas fell to 15-22.

“I’m really disappointed in our club offensively tonight,” Kansas coach Ritch Price said. “We had some really bad atbats. That is the thing I am disappointed in the most. We are leading the Big 12 in hitting, but you wouldn’t know that after tonight. ” After starter Sean Rackoski (1-3) allowed three runs in the second, four KU relievers surrendered no runs and just one hit over the final six frames.

Graves’ high school coach, Babe Kwasniak, notes: “He has been compared to Kevin Durant. I think that’s obviously an unbelievable comparison, but his game is Kevin Durant-like. They are getting a guy who can really shoot the ball. They are getting a guy who plays with a lot of energy. More importantly, they are getting a great young man. He’s a great kid. He’s gregarious, funloving, charismatic.”

Bragg says KU is getting “an energetic guy. I can play inside/out. (I’m a) pick-and-roll, pick-and-pop guy. I can shoot the 20-footer. I can shoot inside, more of an all-around player.”

Bragg averaged 21.3 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.0 blocks for the statechampion Vikings (23-4) and earned Ohio Div. III player of the year honors “He’s a really good kid.

He has a special smile, smiles at everybody,” Graves said. “He’s a happy kid on and off the court, a hard worker. Anything he puts his mind to, he’ll get it done.”

Royals finally lose Minneapolis (ap) — The defending American League champions were finally reminded what it feels like to lose a game.

Kansas City became the last team in the majors to lose this season, as Kyle Gibson pitched into the seventh inning and Oswaldo Arcia hit a two-run homer for the Minnesota Twins in a 3-1 victory over the Royals on Wednesday night.

The Royals (7-1) were chasing the 2003 team’s 9-0 start as the best in franchise history. But Gibson (1-1) used 12 groundball outs and three strikeouts to keep the highest-scoring team in the majors quiet for a night.

“He had a good sinker going tonight. He was pounding the zone early and when pitchers get ahead like that, it makes all of their pitches more effective,” Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer said.

Edinson Volquez (1-1) solidified his spot in the rotation with his second consecutive strong outing. He struck out seven in 72⁄3 innings, with five hits and one walk allowed. Volquez, who signed as a free agent after pitching last year in Pittsburgh, now has eight straight quality starts. He hasn’t allowed more than three earned runs in any of his last 14 outings.

“He’s going deep into games and throwing the ball very, very well,” Royals manager Ned Yost said.

Volquez pitched out of trouble in the first inning, when he loaded the bases

with nobody out. Brian Dozier hit a sacrifice fly, but Volquez retired the next two hitters on infield grounders to limit the damage.

But after the Royals tied it in the fourth, Volquez made his only mistake of the night in the bottom of the inning.

Arcia sent a two-strike, two-out drive into the seats above right-center field to put Minnesota ahead 3-1.

The Royals had their chances but couldn’t come up with a big hit. Lorenzo Cain bounced into a double play after consecu-

tive singles to start the game, and Salvador Perez grounded into an inningending double play by the Twins in the second.

Alcides Escobar had three of the nine hits against Gibson and Alex Gordon drove in a run with a two-out single in the fourth inning, but Gibson tiptoed out of trouble all night. The former University of Missouri star improved to 4-0 in four career starts with a 1.38 ERA against Kansas City.

Yost decided to keep Cain in center field and replace Alex Rios in right field with Jarrod Dyson, only the second bench player to appear in a game so far for the Royals along with Paulo Orlando. Outfielder Terrance Gore was recalled from Double-A Northwest Arkansas for depth.

Upset Rios Rios, who broke the pinkie finger on his left hand when he was hit by a pitch from Twins rookie J.R. Graham the night before, expressed frustration about the circumstance.

“It’s frustrating when you get inexperienced pitchers coming to the mound showing a lot of energy and not being able to control their emotions,” Rios said. “I think that’s a recipe for disaster, when you have high-energy guys without being able to control their emotions.

And then you put them in high-pressure situations, and they just don’t know what to do and things like this happen.”

Free State’s boys track team also picked up wins from Heath Milner in the 100-meter dash and Evan Schoenen in the 400, while the girls saw victories from Hannah Walter in the shot put and Kahler Wiebe in the javelin.

“I think it builds a lot of confidence,” Rose said of the Little KU meet.

“I think that they start to see that they actually can push themselves a little bit further than they thought they could.

That’s been a real positive experience for them and one of the reasons why I really like this meet because it gives them the opportunity to kind of be up there.”

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

Dear Annie: I have helped my wife’s daughter and family financially many times over the past 15 years.

Eighteen months ago, I loaned them $600, and they promised they would pay me back.

(My previous loans were gifts.)

The daughter’s husband has a well-paying job, but he is slow to repay this loan. Three months ago, I received a check for $40, along with more empty promises to pay off the rest. I haven’t seen any additional money. It is just another lie.

I was warned not to loan them money, but emotions got the better of me. What should I do? How can I ever trust them again? — Played for a Fool Dear Played: You are being too hard on yourself. You love your wife

and care about her child, so you have helped them financially. This is not a bad thing. The problem is that the “kids” are not responsible enough to repay the loan.

Talk to them. Say that you are going to set up a payment schedule, and ask how much they can afford to pay every month. No matter how little the amount, agree to it and say you expect to see it on the first of every month until the loan is repaid entirely.

Informative shows vital to PBS slate “American Masters” (7 p.m., PBS, check local listings) profiles a legend with the 2011 documentary “Jascha Heifetz: God’s Fiddler.” The film travels from Heifetz’s birthplace, Vilnius, Lithuania, to his studio in Los Angeles and explores his life as a musician’s musician, as well as an ambassador bridging the world of classical music and popular culture.

Interviews include such other great violinists influenced

by Heifetz as Itzhak Perlman, Ivry Gitlis and Ida Haendel.

There are also clips from popular entertainment, from Jack Benny to the Muppets to Woody Allen, whose very mention of Heifetz’s name became shorthand for excellence and perfectionism.

Filmmaker Peter Rosen also found previously unseen 16mm footage from 1917 to 1985, documenting the violinist’s time before the Russian Revolution, his early days in New York, performances around the world and his life in Los Angeles. Heifetz died in 1987.

“American Masters” has been running since 1986 and has earned 28 Emmys, an Oscar and a dozen Peabody Awards. It’s a vital part of the PBS schedule.

In a recent editorial appearing in both The New York Times and on billmoyers.com, legendary television producer Norman Lear (”All in the Family”) worried that PBS was going to move its “Independent Lens” and “POV” series out of prime time in many markets, reducing the impact of documentary programs that bring alternative visions and voices to the public.

Should PBS retreat from documentaries, it would not only be a failure to serve the public, it would be bad broadcasting and bad business.

Documentaries have exploded over the past decade. Sure, a lot of people pay to stream old TV shows and movies on Netflix, but documentaries are an essential part of its library. For all of the chatter about “Game of Thrones,” HBO’s documentaries are among the most talked-about part of its schedule.

PBS should take note.

Tonight’s other highlights

Miniature golf and murder don’t mix on “Bones” (7 p.m.

Fox).

Emperor Charles reacts to a second assault on his city on “Vikings” (9 p.m., History).

BIRTHDAYS Emeritus Pope Benedict XVI is 88. Basketball Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is 68.

Ann Romney is 66. Singer Jimmy Osmond is 52. Rock musician Dan Rieser is 49. Actor Peter Billingsley is 44.

The trick is to be firm, but kind. No accusations or guilt. If they repay the entire loan without griping, we’d say you can trust them to do so again.

But if they give you a hard time or refuse to cooperate, you’ll have to put your backbone in place and tell them the remaining $560 is a gift, but there will be no more. And mean it.

Dear Annie: Your column gets me started every morning. Here’s a good one in response to the letter from “Daisy” about a marriage tune-up.

After 20 years of marriage, my husband decided he needed to get away and start a new life with a new wife — especially since he had already found one. He told me I had been a perfect wife and mother, so he wanted me to have

the house, the car and money to live on. After recovering from the shock and getting a good job, life went on for me.

After two years, he came knocking on my door with a toilet under his arm, saying he heard I needed a new one. So I let him do the repair job, and he proceeded to tell me about his unhappy married life and that he was getting a divorce.

He was a good repairman and an excellent mechanic, so I suggested he come back home to be my live-in handyman. It worked out great for another 20 years, and I saved a lot of money on repairs.

Good things always happen if you wait. — Satisfied — Send questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or Annie’s Mailbox, P.O. Box 118190 Chicago, IL 60611.
