he outside of the buildings going up at 15th Street and Naismith Drive on the University of Kansas campus will hold clues about what is being studied inside.

Large boulders will be planted throughout the landscaping. Native Kansas limestone, quarried from Cowley County, will cover the building’s base. Terra cotta paneling will be tinted, textured and arranged in patterns inspired by the layers of rock found beneath the surface of the state.

The buildings make up the Earth, Energy and Environment Center, which will be the new home of KU’s geology department, in KU’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, as well as part of the chemical and petroleum engineering department, part of KU’s School of Engineering.

Construction on the $78.5 million, 141,000-square-foot project has passed the halfway point. Work began in August 2015 and is scheduled to be completed in November 2017, with the first classes to be held in spring 2018.

The Journal-World recently took a hardhat tour of the construction site.

The complex is envisioned as an interdisciplinary research center to stimulate and support energy and environment research with opportunities for partnership with industry.

“Geology has changed,” said Robert Goldstein, KU distinguished professor of geology and associate dean for natural sciences and mathematics.

As part of the city’s first strategic planning process, the question of how much city government should provide beyond the basics — infrastructure, police, water and fire services — to address issues not traditionally handled by municipalities wasn’t CITY COMMISSION easily answered.

With city commissioners and department heads all in the same room, the breadth of the city’s public responsibility was written and rewritten as local leaders tried to come up with a vision statement for Lawrence.

“Cities have to be big tents; they have to provide an array of services,” City Manager Tom Markus told attendees of the meeting Saturday. “…I think you have to look at those in context of what the ask is, that you just can’t be a core service community. You have to be way more than that.”

T opeka — For the past week or so, visitors coming into the Kansas Statehouse through the public entrance are greeted with a poster display stretched out along the main corridor, touting the benefits of a program called the Children’s Initiative Fund.

But those posters were not put there by any state agency connected to the fund. Instead, they are the work of Kansas Action for Children, a group that lobbies for early childhood education and children’s health and welfare programs.

BRIEFLY Expect freezing rain early today Lawrence survived the Saturday portion of this weekend’s ice storm relatively unscathed, but forecasters say what’s to come today will be more significant.

The National Weather Service’s Topeka office is forecasting a 90 percent chance of freezing rain before 3 p.m. today, then a mix of freezing rain and rain between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m., with the precipitation largely turning to rain after 9 p.m.

In all, the weather service is estimating another 0.1 to 0.3 inches of ice will form in the Lawrence area today.

Despite some slick roadways, motorists on Saturday were not involved in many accidents. When contacted by the Journal-World on Saturday, law enforcement officials did not report an unusually high number of vehicle accidents or emergency calls related to other weather-related accidents.

Look for rain to continue into Monday. The daytime high for Monday is expected to be 51 degrees.

Center CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

He said that in addition to a science it’s also an important industry for the Kansas economy.

What was once a pretty simple field has evolved to require a lot of equipment, technology, labs and collaboration with other disciplines, he said. The department of geology’s work includes studying groundwater, natural resources, environmental cleanup, the impact of climate change, plus oil, gas and geothermal energy.

The EEEC will bring geology labs and classrooms currently spread across Lindley, Nichols and Moore halls and the Multidisciplinary Research Building together at one facility, Goldstein said. Joining them will be related chemical and petroleum engineering spaces, namely those related to the oil and gas industry.

The EEEC’s design features lots of glass, atriums and collaboration

LAWRENCE spaces envisioned for students, faculty and industry professionals to come together.

“The idea is to invite the outside world into our campus,” Goldstein said. “Everything is visible.”

Private donations funded about half the center’s cost, with KU funding the other half, Goldstein said. The two buildings that make up the center are named for KU alumni with ties to the oil and gas industry whose families were major donors to the project.

The EEEC’s south building, Slawson Hall, is named for the late Don Slawson, of Wichita, a 1955 KU graduate who, at 24, founded an oil and gas exploration firm that became one of the most active oil drilling operations in the United States, according to KU Endowment. Slawson died in 2014, and his family donated $16 million for the EEEC. The smaller north building, Ritchie Hall, is named for 1954 KU graduates Scott and Carol Ritchie, of Wichita,

who donated $10 million for the EEEC, according to KU Endowment. In addition to other ranching and business work, Scott Ritchie founded Ritchie Exploration Inc., an oil and gas exploration company, in 1963.

A challenging site The small and oddshaped construction site — which also has a 50-foot drop in elevation — did pose design challenges, said senior project manager Joshua Jones of Turner Construction Co. “It’s less than a 2-acre site, so it’s hard to get this many square feet,” he said.

The buildings’ unusual shapes and configuration are in response to that challenge. Both resemble elongated rectangles, but Slawson Hall has six sides and Ritchie Hall has five.

Jones said Slawson’s layout is angled so its columns align with buildings on Sunnyside Avenue to the southeast, and Ritchie’s columns align with the engineering complex to the west.

An enclosed

L awrence J ournal -W orld pedestrian bridge and an underground tunnel link the buildings to one another. Enclosed pedestrian bridges also link the EEEC to Lindley Hall on the east and Learned Hall on the west — that bridge spans Naismith Drive.

The project was designed by Gould Evans of Lawrence.

The EEEC is planted in the middle of what used to be parking lots and a popular passthrough for students walking from Jayhawk Boulevard to Allen Fieldhouse or other Central District spots.

It still will be, Goldstein said. He said existing outdoor staircases, plus the tunnel under Naismith Drive, will be torn out and replaced.

The site will segue into Jayhawk Trail, a pedestrian path and greenbelt planned to traverse the adjacent Central District, where a new science building and other facilities are under construction as well.

Core

Quality of life As part of the retreat, statistics about the city were presented in a document called an environmental scan, which relied on federal census and labor data. Some of the figures cited were that 26 percent of the city’s residents have a college degree and about 4 percent are unemployed, but the individual poverty rate is 21 percent.

As the meeting went on, the subject of core services and quality of life services continued to emerge. Commissioner Mike Amyx, whose political career with the city began in the 1980s, said addressing poverty in Lawrence is part of the city’s development.

“We talk about development over time and we talk about spending people’s money wisely,” Amyx said, adding that he’s seen the city’s budget grow over the decades, but he doesn’t know whether poverty rates have improved over the years. “What are we missing? What are we doing wrong?”

Other aspects affecting quality of life, including quality jobs, availability

Some of the additions brought up were the city’s efforts toward increasing affordable housing and providing better mental health services, which have both been goals recently set by the commission.

Vice Mayor Stuart Boley agreed that what constitutes Lawrence’s core services shouldn’t be limited to the services that cities have traditionally been responsible for. Boley gave the example of the city deciding in the 1960s to begin operating a municipal pool, and said goals such as affordable housing could likewise be added.

“That’s what we need to be doing today, is saying, ‘What is our core?’” Boley said. “Given what’s going on in Topeka and what’s happening in our community, we need to say, ‘Do we need to shift resources?

Do we need to take care of the core but also take care of some of these problems that are affecting our community?’”

The lack of affordable housing has been designated through national health rankings as a “severe” problem in Douglas County. Other negative statistics, such as poverty rates, were also cited as commissioners and staff discussed what community needs should be central to the city’s future vision.

CITY COMMISSIONERS AND STAFF WORK ON A VISION STATEMENT as part of the city’s first strategic planning process on Saturday. From left, City Manager Tom Markus, Commissioner Lisa Larsen, Mayor Leslie Soden, Commissioner Mike Amyx, Lawrence Police Chief Tarik Khatib and Commissioner Matthew Herbert. and affordability of childcare, public transportation, the public library, and arts and culture, were also mentioned as discussion continued.

Standing commitments The issue of how existing commitments fit into the city’s vision also came up, and Commissioner Matthew Herbert argued that part of that consideration is answered by what the city has already committed to by building facilities.

“Are the arts part of your core? Well, I don’t know, but when you build an arts center, then I think you make a commitment to maintain it,” Herbert said. “Is a library part of your infrastructure? I don’t know, but when you build a library, I think you make a core commitment to maintain it.”

Herbert said that building facilities without a plan to maintain them is one of the main failures of governance.

“I think that asset management, in my very biased opinion, is probably the most important two words that appear on that glass up there, as it revolves around every single category,” Herbert said.

“Because a fundamental flaw that makes governments not effective is when you build things but have no plan in place to manage that asset.”

The city has debt obligations for all those buildings, and discussions are ongoing about partnering with the county to build a mental health facility.

Markus said that the strategic plan would help commissioners prioritize how the city’s resources should be spent, and in essence, would help define the city’s core ser-

vices.

“I think part of this discussion is just to heighten the awareness of the competition for resources,” Markus said. “…I think it’s just to make sure that everybody is evaluating how we spend our money, and that ultimately comes down to a prioritization of the elected officials in terms of their governance.”

A vision emerges After several revisions, the first ideas about what will characterize the future of Lawrence went up on crate paper in front of the group. The working vision statement is as follows: “The City of Lawrence, supporting an unmistakably vibrant community with innovative, equitable, transparent and responsible local government.”

In order to further develop the vision statement, commissioners and staff identified seven individual factors necessary to accomplish it. Those factors, which are still in draft form, include accessible public transportation, affordable housing, and “health, safety and welfare needs.”

The “critical success” factors developed by city leaders and officials Saturday, as well as working definitions of them, are as follows: l “Commitment to core services: Core municipal services reflect legal mandates and the city’s commitment to meet health, safety and welfare needs and maintain assets while adopting service levels to meet evolving community expectations.”

• “Safe, healthy and welcoming neighborhoods: All people in Lawrence live in neighborhoods that

provide opportunities to lead a healthy lifestyle through good neighborhood design with access to safe and affordable housing and other services that help them meet their basic needs. The diverse and unique features of our neighborhoods are celebrated, creating a strong community as a whole.” l “Economic growth and security: The city fosters an environment that provides both individuals and business the opportunity for economic security and empowers people’s ability to thrive.

Our community succeeds because of individual prosperity and a vibrant, sustainable local economy.” l “Collaborative solutions: The city actively seeks opportunities to leverage partnerships in order to enhance service delivery and quality of life in the most fiscally sound and responsible manner.” l “Effective governance and professional administration: The city effectively and collaboratively plans and prioritizes in a transparent manner to efficiently move the community forward.

We clearly communicate and boldly and professionally implement using sound leadership and relevant best practices.” l “Innovative infrastructure and asset management: The city has well maintained, functional and efficient infrastructure, facilities and assets, and supports accessible, sustainable transportation options. We are innovative and forward thinking to meet community needs while preserving our natural and historic resources.” l “Sound fiscal stewardship: The city provides easy access to relevant,

accurate data for budgeting and decision-making.

Decisions are made by prioritizing across all government services, considering needs balanced with available resources, using fiscal policies based on industry best practices to ensure decisions reflect the current and long-term impact.”

Getting specific At the next strategic planning session, commissioners and staff will develop specific and measurable objectives that will help them accomplish the broad goals already laid out.

As part of comments made at the conclusion of Saturday’s nearly six-hour meeting, Mayor Leslie Soden said she was ready to get more specific.

“These all still kind of come across as vague, so I’m looking forward to next time when we’ll drill down further,” Soden said.

Once compete, the strategic plan will serve as an umbrella for other local planning documents, including the comprehensive plan, the five-year capital improvement plan and the master plans of various city departments.

The strategic plan, which will initially be reviewed by the commission every two years, will be used to help determine spending priorities during the city’s budget deliberations.

The draft of the vision statement and seven factors will be presented to the community for feedback and possible revision during two public meetings, which will be held before the city’s next strategic planning retreat on Feb. 20. The dates of those meetings have yet to be set.

Foundation Distinguished Professor of History Beth Bailey will deliver Bailey the lecture, “The U.S. Army and the ‘Problem of Race,’” at 5:30 p.m. Jan. 25 in the Jayhawk Room of the Kansas Union. The lecture is open to the public.

According to a KU announcement, Bailey’s talk draws from her current book project, which examines how the Army as an institution responded to demands for social justice and tried to manage what it understood as the pressing “problem of race” during the Vietnam War era and the decade that followed.

Psychologist, author dissects apologies in newest book

do community service work and do other things we deem appropriate. At the end of that cycle, if they have completed all that is required, we’ll dismiss the charges against them.”

Lawrence-based psychologist — and New York Times bestselling author — Harriet Lerner has spent more than two decades studying apologies. In her newest book, “Why Won’t You Apologize?”, the relationship expert explores that very subject, examining both the healing power of a heartfelt apology as well as damage inflicted when we fail to say “I’m sorry” and truly mean it.

On Thursday, she’ll share what Lerner she’s learned in her “Apologize?” research, taking a break from a national media blitz in the process, during an appearance at the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vermont St. The event, slated for 7 to 8:30 p.m., is free, and the Raven Book Store will be on hand selling copies of Lerner’s book for signings.

In the meantime, here’s a condensed and edited version of the Journal-World’s chat with Lerner on her motivations behind studying apologies, how gender plays a role in how we approach them and the role “sorry” plays in our relationships, good and bad.

made you decide to Q: What write this book?

Well, we’re all imperfect A: and error-prone human beings, so the need to offer and

receive apologies is with us until our very last breath.

While a good apology is deeply healing, the absent or bad apology can compromise or even end a relationship. So, the courage to offer a heartfelt apology, and the wisdom to apologize wisely and well, is really an essential challenge for all of us.

you have a specific Q: Did reader in mind?

I had every reader in A: mind. That’s not often the case, but I had every reader

in mind, because we all unwittingly hurt others just as we are hurt by them. Apologies are important for all of us. There’s no one who’s really outside of this subject.

Your work has taken you Q: across the country on book tours and speaking appear-

ances, including a recent TED Talk. What have you learned about people — and specifically how they view apology, perhaps — during your travels?

Diversion CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Diversions are allowed by a Kansas statute, which also establishes certain standards for their use.

Branson said diversions can’t be offered to people accused of homicide, rape, kidnapping, sex crimes, crimes against children or other serious felonies. The state has also set other limitations.

“We can offer diversions for first-time DUIs but not for a second DUI,” Branson said. “We can offer diversions for first-time domestic battery charges but not for a second.”

The statute does give local prosecutors a good deal of flexibility about how they use diversions.

“You will find great variety from county to county,” Branson said.

“There are counties that don’t allow diversion because they view it as buying your way out of trouble. Some counties will divert just about everything and set their diversion fees based on the severity of the offense. I

By the numbers Of the 310 diversions the Douglas County District Attorney’s office offered to people facing criminal charges in 2016: l 186 of the participants were male. l 124 of the participants were female. l 291 of the participants were charges with misdemeanors. l 19 of the participants were charged with felonies.

have never been too fond of that. Tagging the nature of the offense to the cost of diversion is dicey to me.”

There is more uniformity among the state’s larger counties, and Branson said his office’s guidelines are very similar to those of Johnson, Sedgwick and Shawnee counties.

His office typically offers people charged with

excuse-making or blaming — even when the other person’s feelings seem exaggerated.

I’ve really learned how difficult this topic is and how important it is, because in our relationships, one apology at a time shows others that we will listen, that we can reflect on our own behavior, that we’ll do our best to empathize and that we will set things right. And this is what the world needs more of in 2017. So, I just learn over and over, as well as in my own personal experience, how challenging it is to do the right thing rather than to wait for the other person

low-level, first-time offenses the opportunity to apply for diversion, Branson said. Diversions require a fee, and participants are still required to pay court costs. A waiting period of six to 18 months is required before charges are dismissed to ensure that the participant demonstrates good behavior.

The district attorney’s office also reviews cases to ensure the applicant has cooperated with law enforcement officers and not created any barriers to an investigation, he said. Applicants are also screened for substance abuse and criminal history. When the alleged crime involves a victim, that person is given a chance to voice their opinion about the diversion agreement. When applicable, restitution is required.

As part of the process, applicants are asked to submit a written statement explaining why they are a good candidates for the program, Branson said. One critical thing his office is looking for in the statements is admissions of guilt, he said.

“They have to say in their own words what they

did, which builds accountability on their part,” he said; “A lot of diversions are rejected when they first come in because they make statements like, ‘I didn’t do this.’ If that’s the case, then they are not appropriate for diversions.

They may be appropriate for dismissals, and they may need to come into court to say they didn’t do this.”

There is some novel experimentation nationally with diversions, Branson said. His conclusion from attending a national seminar on the subject in fall 2016 was that Kansas and Douglas County are ahead of the curve on diversions, but have not innovated as much as some programs in other states, such as a Philadelphia program that is offering diversions to people accused of selling cocaine.

“What they were finding was they were having people who were going to prisons for a year or two, coming back and doing the same thing all over again,” Branson said.

“Instead of sending them straight to prison, they tried to figure out ways to keep them out of prison and change their behav-

ior. I think it’s been in operation a year or two.

They are having moderate success with it.”

The Philadelphia program was developed to address a local innercity need, Branson said.

While he said he doesn’t want to do something that novel, he does want to address the growing need in Douglas County to reduce the number of female inmates.

“One of the things I’ve noticed as we pulled together our numbers is a lot of those in the female population are women who have some kind of substance-abuse problem coupled with mental health issues,” he said.

“They usually are not involved in violent crimes, but financial crimes or theft-type issues that are associated with their substance abuse. We see a lot of shoplifting, theft, forgery, and use of stolen bank cards.”

It’s still a preliminary review, and his office is still trying to classify the kinds of crimes with which women are most frequently charged, Branson said. The goal is to create a diversion program that gets to the

roots of female offenders’ problems.

“We would probably be looking at those we could divert out of the jail and into some kind of early diversion process,” he said.

“That would have some of the types of services that are offered through the (jail’s) re-entry program and then some sort of substance abuse or treatment program or dependency treatment program, which would be a little more intensive than classes.”

The big task before the district attorney’s office in putting together the program is identifying the availability of needed services, the providers of the services and funding, Branson said.

“It’s not going to be a population covered by any type of insurance, and most insurances don’t cover any of the treatments we would be looking at,” he said. “So we are really looking at service problems. Those service providers are going to have to be compensated somehow.”

to change first.

And of course, that’s a recipe for relationship failure. If you want a recipe for relationship failure, just wait for the other person to change first.

It is useful to be able to reach for the other person’s competence and to expect more from them.

But that’s very different than thinking that we can change someone and making that our project.

I often tell young women who are dating or thinking about choosing a life partner that you can’t count on the power of your love or your nagging to change someone or to bring about a quality or a trait that wasn’t there to begin with. So, it’s never a good project to try to change someone, but it is a good project to learn to expect people to be a better self.

It’s interesting that Q: you brought up women, because I know

themselves like an old, familiar blanket.

But then, if we move on from the realization that women are more vulnerable to over-apologizing and men to under-apologizing, I would say that humans are more alike than different.

Listening is not a very sexy subject. Both men and women are not very motivated to enhance their listening skills.

We’re much more motivated to work on our talking skills, because we want to get through. We want the other person to really get it.

Is it possible to Q: change people? Is that even a good idea, to expect change in another person without them initiating it?

I’ve been in the process of change for a very long time. I’m certainly an expert in change. And I have never been able to change a person who doesn’t want to change. However, it is useful to expect change.

A:

that you’ve been called an expert on women’s psychology. How do men and women approach apology differently?

That’s a really interesting question.

I would say that one risk for being prone to under-apologizing is being raised male, and one risk for being prone to overapologizing is being raised female.

Settlement CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

What many visitors may not know, and might even find ironic, is that the fund in question is actually money the state receives from tobacco companies. And the reason why the posters are there is to drum up opposition to Gov. Sam Brownback’s proposal to sell off the state’s interest in future tobacco payments in exchange for a lump sum that can be used to plug holes in the state budget for the next two years.

“It is disappointing that Governor Brownback is doubling down on his efforts to dismantle the Children’s Initiatives Fund, yet he’s still completely unwilling to consider fixing the cause of our fiscal problems.... which is failed tax policy,” KAC said in a statement in response to the Brownback administration’s budget proposal.

“Kansas kids didn’t create this budget crisis, and they shouldn’t be forced to pay for it.”

In point of fact, though, using tobacco payments as a dedicated source of funding for children’s programs was a controversial move when lawmakers decided to do it in 1999. But because that program has been in place so long, today there are few lawmakers still around who remember why it was done.

Multi-state lawsuit In the 1990s, Kansas and most other states joined in a lawsuit against the tobacco industry, claiming that the marketing of tobacco products, and cigarettes in particular, had cost them billions of dollars in health care costs over the years, mainly in the form of Medicaid costs for low-income people with smoking-related illnesses.

The lawsuit dragged on for a number of years and was finally settled in 1998 with the signing of what was called the Master Settlement Agreement.

In that agreement, the major tobacco companies agreed to change their marketing practices by, among other things, halting the use of cartoon characters like “Joe Camel” that targeted children,

Kansas kids didn’t create this budget crisis, and they shouldn’t be forced to pay for it.”

and to stop advertising on outdoor billboards and signs on buses and subway cars.

But the key to the settlement was an agreement to pay the states roughly $10 billion a year for an indefinite length of time to compensate states for their tobaccorelated health care costs.

The money is distributed among the states based on a formula using several factors such as population and smoking rates.

As of June 2016, according to Attorney General Derek Schmidt’s office, Kansas had collected just over $1 billion in settlement payments.

In recent years, they have averaged around $60 million a year.

But despite the fact that the legal reason for the payments was to compensate states for smoking-related health care costs, few states have used the settlement money for that purpose, and Kansas was no exception.

In 1999, Kansas lawmakers decided to earmark the vast majority of the money for children’s programs.

“Bill Graves (a Republican) was governor at the time, and I think there was just a general consensus that we needed to do better in terms of early childhood education,” said Senate Democratic Leader Anthony Hensley of Topeka, one of the few remaining lawmakers who was in office at that time.

“I know at that time the House Minority Leader was Jim Garner (D-Coffeyville), and he was a real champion of that cause, and that’s what we did. That’s the decision we made,” Hensley said.

Public health and antismoking groups, however, were harshly critical of the decision in Kansas and elsewhere to steer the tobacco money away from health programs and anti-tobacco campaigns.

According to the national Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, states are expected to receive $26.6 billion in tobacco

payments this year, but only 1.8 percent of that — less than half a billion dollars — will be used for smoking cessation and prevention programs.

That’s a small fraction of the $9.1 billion that tobacco companies spend each year marketing their products, the organization said.

In Kansas, the group said, smoking prevention and cessation programs get less than $1 million in funding, which ranks the state 41st in the nation in that category. That compares to the $77.7 million that tobacco companies spend on marketing in Kansas.

“It’s about 2 percent of what the (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) recommends for effective tobacco prevention and control,” said Hillary Gee, who lobbies in Kansas for the American Cancer Society’s Cancer Action Network.

Brownback budget plan In his budget plan, Gov. Brownback is proposing to sell off the state’s future payments for a lump sum, estimated at about $530 million. Half of that would go into the budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1; the other half would be used the year after that.

To accomplish that, Budget Director Shawn Sullivan told lawmakers, the state would issue 30year bonds that would be backed by its future tobacco payments. He estimated the cost of repaying those bonds at about $45 million a year.

That would effectively put an end to the Children’s Initiatives Fund, but the administration says programs currently funded through the CIF would instead be funded through the state general fund.

That idea has many advocates worried because it would mean children’s programs now receiving dedicated CIF money would suddenly have to compete for funding with all the other programs funded with general tax dollars, including K-12 and higher education, public safety, and other social service programs, including Medicaid.

Officials at Kansas Action for Children did not respond to requests for additional comment beyond their press statement Wednesday.

L awrence J ournal -W orld Cancer Society opposes selling off the tobacco payments, despite the fact that very little of it is used for smoking cessation and prevention.

But her group does support one of Brownback’s other proposals, raising cigarette taxes.

“A much smarter solution to part of the state’s budget situation would be a significant increase in the tax on cigarettes and other tobacco products,” she said. “Not only does it bring in revenue, but it also has substantial health benefits.”

Brownback has proposed raising cigarette taxes by $1 per pack. The American Cancer Society, Gee said, would like to go even further, to $1.50 per-pack in additional cigarette taxes.

EDITORIALS

PAY-Go helps fiscal discipline House Republicans made the responsible call in retaining rule to keep spending in check.

K

ansas Republicans were right last week to push back on Democrats’ efforts to eliminate the “pay as you go” requirement in the state’s House of Representatives.

PAY-Go, as the Pay As You Go rule is called, was the wrong issue to test the bipartisan sentiment of the House’s new membership. The measure failed on an almost straight party-line vote.

That’s as it should be. Facing a budget shortfall of nearly $1 billion in the next 18 months, the last thing the House needs to do is ease the fiscal discipline that PAY-Go requires.

“We’re broke, and there’s no possibility of finding another pot of money to add anything to a budget right now,” Rep. Don Hineman, R-Dighton, who is the new House majority leader, said in standing to oppose the measure.

The PAY-Go rule was adopted in 2011. It requires that, when a spending bill comes to the floor of the House, no amendment can be made to increase spending in one area unless it’s accompanied by a cut of equal or greater size in some other area of the bill.

Members of both parties have been frustrated by the rule, arguing that it gives lawmakers on the Appropriations Committee too much power, because the Appropriations Committee determines the upper limit of the state’s budget. Rep. Henry Helgerson, D-Wichita, offered Thursday’s amendment to end PAY-Go. He said the PAY-Go rule prevents lawmakers who are not on the Appropriations Committee from fully representing the interests of their constituents.

“PAY-Go was put in as a way of controlling the discussion on the floor,” Helgerson said. “We always balanced budgets before this, and we actually did a better job than what’s gone on in the last few years.”

PAY-Go supporters argue that the rule prevents political “gotcha” votes in which members offer amendments to add funding for politically popular programs, even though no funds are available, effectively daring the other side to vote no and provide political fodder for the next election.

Suspending PAY-Go is not the right way to start a legislative session in which the top priority is fixing the state’s badly broken budget. Hopefully Thursday’s party-line vote won’t be a harbinger of things to come and Republicans and Democrats can find common ground on other issues. Hineman sounded optimistic that they could, and that’s a good sign.

“The more important question is, will leadership allow full and open debate, and the bringing of amendments within the framework of PAY-Go, and that hasn’t always been the case in the past,” he said. “I think it will be this time.”

Dear Mr. President: “Barack Obama is not Jesus.”

Those were the first words of the first column I ever wrote about you — a poke in the eye to Democrats who were singing rhapsodic hosannas about a certain highly regarded young senator. “Yes,” I griped, “he has great potential. But is it asking too much that people wait until he actually does something before they start chasing his name with a hallelujah chorus?”

Leonard Pitts Jr.

“

lpitts@miamiherald.com

It is telling that the folks who grasped at every untruth and exaggeration to make you out as an America-hating Other now watch in feckless silence as Donald Trump plants sloppy kisses on the autocratic thug Vladimir Putin.”

Two years later, you were elected president. Shows what I know.

Now the time has come to say goodbye. Which means it’s also time for people like me to furrow our brows in summation. I will leave it to others to analyze your legacy with regard to the economy, health care, foreign policy, privacy rights and war.

As you head for the door, I find myself simply wanting to address you as one African-American man to another about the singular mark you made on Ameri-

can history: first black president. To be a first black anything significant has often been a thankless task. Jackie Robinson learned this when he crashed Major League Baseball in 1947. Your experience proves that it remains true 70 years later.

You got it from all sides, didn’t you, Mr. President?

Certain opinion leaders on the left held that you failed to speak — and act — boldly enough on issues of concern to African Americans. It’s an argument that did not take political reality into account — would the same drain clog of a Congress that couldn’t agree to routine measures to raise the debt ceiling really have passed some huge program to ameliorate AfricanAmerican woes? I also think you get too little credit for quietly dismantling much of the ruinous War on Drugs and working to reform racist policing.

Meantime, the political right thought you the love child of Louis Farrakhan and Nat Turner. By simply existing, by acting as if win-

ning two elections actually entitled you to be president, you drove them crazy. You made them reveal — even revel in — the ugliness, hatred and fear that have always undergirded so-called conservatism where race is concerned. It is telling that the folks who grasped at every untruth and exaggeration to make you out as an America-hating Other now watch in feckless silence as Donald Trump plants sloppy kisses on the autocratic thug Vladimir Putin.

For myself, Mr. President, I was frustrated by your naivete. You were surely the last person in America to recognize the degree to which racial resentment drove the rigid resistance and shrill hysteria you faced. You seemed to think you could win over your most hateful critics by being conspicuously even-handed, even-tempered and good.

But it doesn’t work that way.

Most any black person could have told you that.

That said, let me also say this: A defining truth about

black life in America is that each of us carries all of us wherever we go. The incompetence of a black man in Dallas will keep a black man in Miami from getting a job. The dishonesty of a black woman in Oakland will get a black woman in Baltimore arrested.

Each one of us is every one of us. Which places an inordinate weight on the one of us who is called to perform on a high public stage.

You have performed on the highest, most public stage there is, sir, faced headwinds unprecedented in American politics and nonstop disrespect from the GOP. But you did so with unflappable dignity, unshakable class ... and urbane cool.

No stench of personal scandal wafts after you as you leave office, and the country is better for your service.

So allow me to say, as one African-American man to another: Godspeed, brother. You did us proud.

The trademark office’s assault on free speech Washington — In 1929, Chief Justice William Howard Taft convinced Congress to finance construction of “a building of dignity and importance” for the Supreme Court. He could not have imagined what the court will ponder during oral arguments this Wednesday. The case concerns the name of an Asian-American rock band: The Slants. And surely Taft never read a friend-of-thecourt brief as amusing as one filed in this case. It is titled “Brief of the Cato Institute and a Basket of Deplorable People and Organizations.”

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office is empowered, by the so-called “disparagement clause” of a 1946 law, to protect American sensitivities by denying trademark protection to “immoral, deceptive or scandalous” trademarks.

These have included those that a substantial portion of a particular group perceive as disparaging that group — an ethnic, religious, national or other cohort. The PTO has canceled the trademark registrations of entities named Mormon Whiskey, Abort the Republicans, Democrats Shouldn’t Breed, Marriage Is For (expletive), and many more.

The Cato/Deplorables brief urges compassionate libertarianism: “This Court should make the jobs of the employees at the ... [PTO] much easier and put an end to the disparagement clause.” Government officials cannot be trusted to “neutrally” identify speech that disparages. Besides, “disparaging speech has

“

When the government registers a trademark, it is not endorsing or subsidizing a product. It should not be allowed to use its power to deny registration in order to discourage or punish the adoption of controversial expressions.”

been central to political debate, cultural discourse, and personal identity” throughout American history. The brief notes that a donkey became the Democratic Party’s symbol because someone called Andrew Jackson a “jackass” and he, whose default mode was defiance, put the creature on campaign posters. Entire American professions — e.g., newspaper columnists — exist in part to disparage.

Many rock bands pick names obviously intended to disparage or shock: Dead Kennedys, Dying Fetus, Sex Pistols, etc. Does the title of the best-selling book “Hillbilly Elegy” disparage a group? The Cato/Deplora-

bles brief says: “One of this brief’s authors is a cracker (as distinct from a hillbilly) who grew up near Atlanta, but he wrote this sentence, so we can get away with saying that.” Then comes a footnote: “But he only moved to Atlanta when he was 10 and doesn’t have a Southern accent — and modern Atlanta isn’t really part of the South — so maybe we can’t.” Furthermore, the lead counsel on the brief “is a RussianJewish emigre who’s now a dual U.S.-Canadian citizen.

Can he make borscht-belt jokes about Canuck frostbacks even though the first time he went to shul was while clerking in Jackson, Mississippi?”

When the government registers a trademark, it is not endorsing or subsidizing a product. It should not be allowed to use its power to deny registration in order to discourage or punish the adoption of controversial expressions. By registering trademarks, government confers a benefit — a legal right — on those who hold them. Trademarks are speech. The disparagement clause empowers the PTO to deny a benefit because of the viewpoint of the speech.

This is unconstitutional.

Trademarks are not commercial speech — essentially, advertising — which is accorded less robust protection than that given to other speech. Eugene Volokh, a UCLA law professor and one of The Slants’ lawyers, correctly says the band’s name is expressive speech.

The Asian-Americans of The Slants agree. They say they adopted this name “to take on these stereotypes

that people have about us, like the slanted eyes, and own them.”

The PTO applies the disparagement clause by assessing “what message the referenced group takes from the applicant’s [trade]mark in the context of the applicant’s use” and denies registration “only if the message received is a negative one.”

The PTO, which has denied trademark protection for The Slants, has given it to a band named N.W.A. which stands for (a version of the N-word) Wit Attitudes.

The PTO’s decisions are unpredictable because they depend on the agency speculating about what might be the feelings of others in hypothetical circumstances.

This vague and arbitrarily enforced law, if such it can be called, chills speech by encouraging blandness.

The PTO last earned the nation’s attention, if not its approbation, in 2014, when it denied protection to the name of the Washington Redskins, in spite of polls showing that 90 percent of Native Americans were not offended by the name and only 18 percent of “nonwhite football fans” favored changing it.

Now the PTO sees a national problem in provocative, naughty, childish or tasteless band names. By doing this the PTO encourages something of which there already is an annoying surfeit — the belief that speech should be regulated hither and yon in order to preserve the serenity of those Americans who are most easily upset.

Especially when someone’s really mad at us and they’re blasting us, it’s so difficult to put our defensiveness aside. If only our desire to understand the other person were as great as our desire to be understood, wouldn’t that be something? We would have a different world.

Speaking of deQ: fensiveness, many times in situations where

someone has said or done something offensive, that person might offer what could be described as a non-apology apology: “It was just a joke” or “Don’t be so sensitive.” What do you make of that?

That’s a very good example of the

A:

ways we slip out of taking responsibility for hurting someone. And the listening part is so important because it’s not the words “I’m sorry” that heals the injury. The hurt party wants us to “really get it,” to validate and care about their feelings and to carry some of the pain that we’ve caused them to feel, and this requires wholehearted listening.

Obviously, there’s the question of what you’re apologizing for, because it’s one thing to spill red wine on your friend’s carpet. I mean, you immediately apologize and offer to pay the cleaning bill and tell her how sorry you are, and that’s a very easy kind of apology. But some of the injuries we inflict are not simple, and then we may really have to sit in the hot seat and listen to what the hurt party has to tell us.

One of the reasons that the heartfelt apology is one of the greatest gifts that we can give to another person is that it can allow the hurt party to feel safe and soothed in the relationship knowing that we care about their feelings, that we’re capable of taking responsibility of what we’ve said or done.

It’s a great gift to the other person, and it’s also a gift to our own self, because our level of maturity and integrity and self-respect rests squarely on our ability to see ourselves objectively and to take a clear-eyed look at the ways our behavior affects others and to assume unequivocal responsibility when we act at another person’s expense.

President-elect Donald Trump, in a fresh peek at his foreign policy views, says he is open to lifting sanctions against Russia and is not committed to a long-standing agreement with China over Taiwan. Beijing swiftly responded to the latter remark, calling any revision of the “One China” policy “non-negotiable.”

Trump plays wait and see with Moscow v CONTINUED FROM 1B

JACK GRUBER, USA TODAY

Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., says Donald Trump’s inauguration Friday will be the first he has missed while in office.

Trump targets Lewis in new war of words President-elect condemned for tweets attacking civil rights icon Doug Stanglin, Eliza Collins and Donovan Slack USA TODAY

President-elect Donald Trump, in a Twitter outburst Saturday morning over Rep. John Lewis’ comment that he does not see Trump as a legitimate president, said the Georgia Democrat should spend more time trying to fix his “horrible” and “crime-infested” district than complaining about the election results.

The reaction was swift. Democrats, celebrities and even some Republicans weighed in.

“John Lewis and his ‘talk’ have changed the world,” Sen. Ben Sasse, R.-Neb., tweeted with a link to a photo of Lewis in 1965, when he was badly beaten during a voting rights march at the Selma, Ala., bridge.

Rep. Kevin Yoder, R-Kan., said he disagrees with Lewis’ questioning of the presidential election but said Lewis is a “hero & icon.” “He deserves all of our respect,” Yoder said in a tweet. “He’s earned it.”

On Friday, Lewis said he would skip Trump’s inauguration next week as an act of protest.

Lewis told moderator Chuck Todd of NBC’s Meet the Press in an interview set to air Sunday that he does not see Trump as a “legitiCorrections & Clarifications USA TODAY is committed to accuracy. To reach us, contact Standards Editor Brent Jones at 800-8727073 or e-mail accuracy@usatoday.com.

mate president.”

“I think the Russians participated in helping this man get elected.

And they helped destroy the candidacy of Hillary Clinton,” Lewis said. “I don’t plan to attend the inauguration.”

Trump punched back with two tweets criticizing Lewis’ representation of Georgia’s 5th Congressional District, which includes most of Atlanta.

He tweeted: “Congressman John Lewis should spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape and falling apart (not to mention crime infested) rather than falsely complaining about the election results. All talk, talk, talk - no action or results. Sad!” Former Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele had some concise advice for Trump.

“No. 1, don’t tweet that. No. 2, don’t go there,” he said on MSNBC, adding that the attacks were “unnecessary” and “unfortunate.”

In his interview, Lewis, who has been in Congress for 30 years, said Friday’s inauguration will be the first he has missed as a congressman.

Rep. Raúl Grijalva, D-Ariz., also

Rep. Raúl Grijalva, D-Ariz., also plans to boycott the inauguration and says he will be spending the time with constitutents who feel left out.

“John Lewis should spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape... ” President-elect Donald Trump

will skip the inauguration.

“My absence is not motivated by disrespect for the office or motivated by disrespect for the government that we have in this great democracy,” Grijalva said during a speech on the House floor Friday. “An individual act, yes, of defiance at the disrespect shown to millions and millions of Americans by this incoming administration and by the actions we’re taking in this Congress.”

Grijalava said he’ll be in Arizona meeting with constituents, including senior citizens, environmental and climate change activists, immigrants and health care providers.

He said those groups would be the first to feel the impact of Trump’s actions.

“So it’s good to be in the community talking about these things on Inauguration Day,” he told USA TODAY. “Knowing that this is the reality and me being at the inauguration when I think that my time ... is better spent being with the constituents who keep me in office and help me.”

He said he wasn’t questioning the peaceful transition of power, but respecting the people unhappy with the situation.

“I’m not second-guessing, I’m not whining. What I’m saying is respect is a two-way street and I want to respect the constituents that feel left out right now,” Grijalva said.

California Democratic Rep. Barbara Lee said that while she would attend Trump’s State of the Union Address in the future, she would not be at the inauguration. Lee said the inauguration is a celebratory event and “I cannot celebrate and applaud” Trump over the things he has said.

At least four other House members, all Democrats, have said they won’t attend.

Regarding China, Trump was specifically asked whether he supports the U.S. “One China” policy on Taiwan, which declares the province as part of China.

Trump’s response: “Everything is under negotiation, including One China.”

The remarks come weeks after Trump’s unprecedented phone conversation with Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen shortly after the November election.

There has been no communication between the leaders of the United States and Taiwan since 1979.

Trump’s latest comments appear to represent a departure from remarks by his advisers in December that the phone call did not signify any formal shift in long-standing U.S. ties with Taiwan or China.

In mid-December, An Fengshan, a spokesman for China’s policy-making Taiwan Affairs Office, warned of more serious consequences if U.S. shifts positions on the Taiwan issue.

By early afternoon, Aldrich, Mo., reported 0.75 inches of ice; Bartlesville, Okla., registered 0.28 inches; and Mayestown, Ill., had received 0.37 inches, according to weatherbug.com.

Parts of Springfield, Mo., experienced a round of “thunder ice” following lightning strikes amid a buildup of more than a quarter-inch of ice on trees, fences and parked cars, the Springfield News-Leader reported. The relatively rare phenomenon, which occurs only in especially turbulent winter weather, was also reported as freezing rain fell in Joplin, Mo., the Associated Press reported.

Ice storm warnings were in effect from the Texas Panhandle to southern Illinois, with freezing rain advisories across parts of the Ohio Valley and the central Appalachians, the National Weather Service said. It warned that ice in excess of a half-inch “is enough to cause severe travel disruptions and power outages.”

Colorful weather service maps showing the hardest-hit areas put Dodge City, Kan., in the deep-purple center, with heavy precipitation expected Saturday night into Sunday and ice accumulations up to an inch.

At least three road deaths were blamed on the storm, including two in separate accidents in Missouri and one involving a tractor-trailer outside Weatherford, Okla. In western Oklahoma, Interstate 40 was closed in two places because

The governors of Oklahoma and Missouri declared states of emergency, and the National Guard was mobilized in Missouri and Kansas, where some 200 Guardsmen patrolled key roads and helped stranded motorists.

Nearly 4,300 homes were without power by midmorning in Missouri and Illinois as heavy ice accumulation brought down power lines, KSDK-TV reported.

Only in America: Breaking-news T-shirts Eli Blumenthal @eliblumenthal USA TODAY

News site BuzzFeed is apparently so pleased about having been called a “failing pile of garbage” by President-elect Donald Trump that many will be wearing the phrase as a badge of honor — on T-shirts.

While dismissing reports this week from BuzzFeed and CNN that the Russians had collected damaging intelligence on him, Trump inadvertently gave a big boost to the T-shirt business.

Besides labeling BuzzFeed with the “failing pile” label, he went after CNN as the “fake news” network. The slogans are now on shirts. BuzzFeed’s sells for $30, while bumper stickers go for $5 and even trash cans sport the slogan for $49.

“Now that anyone — including our president-elect — is a publisher via social media, newsrooms are competing with non-newsrooms,” said Jessica Pucci, professor of ethics and excellence in journalism at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism & Mass Communication at Arizona State University.

“Trump certainly uses this to his advantage — he can reach audiences directly rather than using the media as a conduit.”

The advantage is that “our nation’s leadership has never been more raw and accessible,” she said, but added “it’s troubling that the president-elect calls ‘fake news’ in one breath, and in the next breath shares unverified or unverifiable information in the next, such as saying the Affordable Care Act will ‘soon be history.’ To my knowledge, it’s impossible to verify the future.”

Even more concerning is the propaganda potential for Trump and supporters to lead to action.

In the case of “pizzagate,” an armed man showed up to investigate and fired his gun inside.

Facebook says it is taking steps to tackle fake news and will build better working relationships with established media to improve the user experience.

Media consumers can do their part, too. “Going forward people have to think for themselves,” said Nsenga Burton, digital editor for Grady Newsource and an instructor at the University of Georgia.

The real test may come when the incoming Trump administration decides whether to reduce the standards in keeping with its pledge to reduce government regulation.

locked into place before President Obama leaves office Friday.

The EPA said last Friday that it is leaving its standards in place because no change is necessary.

The automotive industry, which is deep into electrification and other gas-saving technologies, has demonstrated its ability to adapt.

The decision drew opposition

from one powerful automotive industry trade group, saying it fears that tougher standards will force automakers to raise prices on new cars.

“The EPA decision is disappointing. Our fundamental priority remains striking the right balance to continue fuel economy gains and carbon reduction without compromising consumer affordability and vital auto-sector jobs,” said Gloria Bergquist, spokeswoman for the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, an industry trade group.

Industry groups began signaling Friday that they hope a new EPA administrator will rescind the decision and resume the evaluation process while environmental groups praised the EPA’s actions and vowed to aggressively fight any possible changes.

“The Obama administration today just made new cars and trucks thousands of dollars more expensive for America’s working

men and women,” the National Automobile Dealers Association said in a statement. “We urge the incoming Trump administration to withdraw today’s action.”

But the agency’s decision, just days before President Obama leaves office, makes it difficult, but not impossible, for the incoming administration to make changes.

“We believe a whole new rulemaking process would need to occur in order to overrule this decision,” a process that could easily take two years, said Andrew Linhardt, associate director for federal policy for the Sierra Club.

Both the government and automakers agreed to take another look at automotive regulations in 2012 when initially adopted.

The goal was to assess how well automakers were adapting to the first phase of the standards and to decide whether or not future standards needed to be adjusted.

your banker and attorney. “They can help to detect changes in your financial activity that may signal exploitation and be available to advise you if you are being pressured to act,” she said.

Mauterstock also noted that each state has a protective services department. “Financial advisers or family members can call in to protective services anonymously and report a problem,” he said. “Protective services will often then follow up with the family.”

Elders can hire a bookkeeper to pay their bills and manage their bank accounts, said Mauterstock, who noted there’s a bill before Congress called the Senior$afe Act of 2015, which would protect financial advisers who report an abuse.

Among other things, those involved in watching over your affairs — be it a banker, CPA, attorney or lawyer — should look for red flags such as unusually high guardian fees or excessive vehicle or dining expenses, according to the GAO.

KNOW THE RISK FACTORS

Social isolation and cognitive impairment are among the known risk factors for elder abuse.

“Stay socially active and engaged,” said Martin. “Social isolation increases the risk of becoming a victim. If someone is isolating you from your friends, family or others in your community, seek help.”

2

DON’T SUCCUMB TO PRESSURE

Don’t let anyone rush or pressure you into signing a document, purchasing something or giving away your money or property. “Take your time,” said Martin. “Consult with others. If you feel rushed or pressured to act, don’t act. Instead, talk to others including trusted friends and family members, your banker or attorney, or other professionals such as clergy members or social workers.”

Don’t set up joint accounts as a method of planning for incapacity or getting help with paying your bills. “Both parties are equal owners and have equal access,” said Martin. “Instead, talk to your banker about your options for getting assistance with your finances.”

WAYS TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM FINANCIAL ABUSE 5 WAYS TO HELP YOUR LOVED ONES uPlan ahead to protect your assets and ensure that your wishes are followed. uConsult with a qualified financial professional or attorney before signing complex agreements or anything you don’t understand. uBuild relationships with professionals who are involved with your finances — they can assist in monitoring for suspicious activity. uLimit your use of cash — using checks and credit cards leaves a paper trail. uTrust your instincts and feel free to say “no” — remember, it’s your money.

EXECUTE A DURABLE POWER OF ATTORNEY

Consider a revocable trust with a corporate trustee. “There is no better protection for a (senior),” said Mauterstock. “Corporate trustees are the most regulated financial entities in our industry; they’re regulated by the OCC, the FDIC and the state banking commission.”

KEEP YOUR HOME

Don’t give your home away to someone in exchange for a promise to care for you or allow you to live there as long as you live. “These kinds of promises are broken every day and you could find yourself without a home or the help you need,” said Martin.

lder abuse is a growing problem in the U.S. Or at least so say experts who testified before a Senate Special Committee on Aging hearing in November. In fact, one in 10 seniors age 60 and older who live at home experience abuse, neglect or exploitation, according to one expert, Jaye Martin, executive director of Maine Legal Services for the Elderly. And financial abuse — perpetrated mainly by family members, many of whom are guardians — is one of the most common types of elder abuse, according to a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report released for the hearing. According to GAO, a guardianship may be necessary as an older adult becomes incapable of making informed decisions. The GAO wrote in its report: “While many guardians act in the best interest of persons under guardianship, some have been reported to engage in the abuse of older adults.” So, what can you do to avoid financial abuse by family members, guardians and others in power?

SET UP A REVOCABLE TRUST

According to the Allianz Life study, a large percentage of elders who have suffered financial abuse were victimized by people close to them — either a family member, friend or another professional caregiver.

AVOID JOINT ACCOUNTS

BE WARY OF FAMILY MEMBERS

A durable power of attorney is an important estate-planning tool, said Mauterstock. In essence, it’s a legal document that gives someone you choose the power to act in your place should you become mentally incapacitated. Note, however, the person with the durable power has unlimited access to your finances. So make sure the person with the durable power sends copies of all transactions, as well as duplicate banking, investment and credit card statements, to your financial team each month.

Martin said powers of attorney are useful and important tools but can be misused.

“Only execute a power of attorney after consulting with an attorney and only appoint someone you trust completely,” she said.

“Beware of gifting clauses in power of attorney documents. You can and often should limit the power you give your agent. Grant no more authority than is needed.”

INVOLVE YOUR FINANCIAL TEAM IN YOUR AFFAIRS

“The most important thing elders can do to address elder financial abuse is to involve multiple parties in helping them manage their financial affairs,” said Walter White, president and chief executive officer of Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America. “Having a third party involved can provide an additional layer of oversight, providing the necessary checks and balances that can help identify potential problems before they happen.” Read Allianz Life’s 2016 Safeguarding Our Seniors Study.

Others agree. “Financial advisers can be very helpful,” said Robert Mauterstock, author of Passing the Torch, Critical Conversations With Your Adult Children.

“They often can notice if money is being withdrawn from client’s accounts surreptitiously.”

For her part, Martin also recommends building relationships with the professionals who advise you or handle your money, such as

Lack of young home buyers fuels wealth gap Housing values soar, but renters haven’t shared in the windfall Jeff Reeves

Special for USA TODAY

It’s a tale that has been told over and over — Millennials just aren’t buying homes and instead are sticking to renting.

The absence of Millennial home buyers is a big story for the economy, because housing sales and construction are big drivers of jobs. But it’s also an equally big story for the personal finances of Millennials, who are missing out on the real estate wealth that bolstered the balance sheets of previous generations.

“The most impactful contributor to consumer wealth since the great financial crisis has been growth in home equity,” said Brad Friedlander, managing partner at Angel Oak Capital Advisors.

“Similarly, there has been a growing wealth gap between homeowners and renters, largely due to home equity.”

According to the Federal Reserve, U.S. owners held more than $12.7 billion in home equity at the end of the second quarter of 2016. That’s the highest since the end of 2006, before the housing bubble burst, and more than dou-

TO RENT OR NOT TO RENT Costs associated with both renting and homeownership have been soaring since the 1980s. Ownership became 10% more expensive than renting, compared with their relative costs in 1982.

They are now even, indicating high demand for rental properties.

GEORGE PETRAS, USA TODAY ble the crisis-era low of just under $6 billion in home equity.

In other words, housing values have soared, but renters haven’t shared in the wealth. Worse still, consider that as the economy recovered around 2010, rents have climbed steadily. The typical renter is now paying about 20% more than in September 2010.

This trend comes at a time when median household incomes remain below 2007 levels, which means the dip in homeownership rates couldn’t have been timed

worse for Millennial finances.

And without home equity to bolster their balance sheets, these younger Americans are significantly behind older generations — in homeownership and its associated financial security.

HOPE FOR YOUNG HOME BUYERS

However, it doesn’t have to stay that way. Millennials still have the opportunity to tap into the housing market’s potential. While underwriting standards are indeed stricter than prior years,

“some people could qualify for a mortgage who don’t even try,” said Lawrence Yun, chief economist at the National Association of Realtors. Yun points to FHA mortgage products that require only 3.5% down, just $8,750 payment toward a $250,000 mortgage, as well as interest rates near historic lows that reduce the cost of borrowing significantly.

If young home buyers embrace the idea of a “starter home” as previous generations have instead of simply lamenting how

their dream home is out of reach, they often will have ample opportunity to enter the market, Yun said. “Maybe they need to lower their expectations of what that first home should be or settle for a smaller home in a different neighborhood,” he said. If they do, these young home buyers can build equity over time.

“The last few years have been an opportunity to make equity and grow wealth, but it’s not too late for Millennials,” Friedlander said.

Man bitter over ex-wife’s betrayal needs to let go Dear Annie: My wife and I were married 17 years ago, and although we did divorce, we still remained on friendly terms.

Recently, however, she made the mistake of accidentally letting me know she had called her ex-husband (whom she married before me) for advice on something.

Then she admitted that through all these years, she has remained in contact with her ex-husband — calling him and, when visitin g her daughter’s home, meeting up with him. She said she maintains this for the sake of her kids (the youngest is in his early 30s) and she doesn’t see the big deal of it or why it should bother me. If I don’t like it, too bad.

She saw him again this Christmas, and once again, I got to spend it alone. It bothers me that

she betrayed me, keeping their relationship a total secret all these years and then telling me it was none of my business, even when we were married. She has always done what she wants and gotten whatever she wants, and I have had to accept it because I loved her so.

Am I wrong to feel the way I do? Should I just ignore the pain I feel inside and go on as if nothing happened? I’m ready to wash my hands of her

Jude Law stars as the Pope Are HBO viewers ready for “The Young Pope” (8 p.m., TVMA)? This 10-part limited series stars Jude Law in the title role.

He’s Pope Pius XIII, both young and American to boot, a mystery to the College of Cardinals who just elected him and to just about everybody else. Diane Keaton stars as American nun Sister Mary, the woman who raised the new pope and his brother, now a cardinal, from childhood. Their mysterious parents left them with Mary and her order after leaving a hippie commune for Venice. ‘ ‘ T h e Y o u n g Pope’’ is directed by Paolo Sorrentino, whose 2013 film ‘‘The Great Beauty’’ was highly anticipated, rapturously reviewed and won the Oscar for best foreign film. I found it beautiful, but more like a painting than a film — easier to look at than watch and frequently dull. Not unlike ‘‘The Young Pope.’’

The series ekes some humor out of the confusion and consternation of the international College of Cardinals, who don’t know what to make of the mysterious and increasingly arrogant American. But its sly subtlety may be lost on those seeking entertainment. Law makes the most of his difficult character.

But that doesn’t make him any easier to endure.

Things move rather slowly in Vatican City and on ‘‘The Young Pope.’’ We see Pius giving his inaugural address in the opening moments. But then, we are assured, that this is only a fantasy. Not to give too much away, but he doesn’t give the real speech until the end of the second episode (seen Monday night). I’m not sure many will stick around to hear it.

The makers of ‘‘The Young Pope’’ have forgotten that watching paint dry does not make for compelling television — even when that paint is on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.

O Secrets emerge on the season finale of ‘‘Sherlock’’ on “Masterpiece” (6 p.m., PBS, TV-14, check local listings).

PAST THE ’POKES

Kansas survives OSU’s upset bid

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Fans, critics and analysts alike, have been saying all season that the time would come when the Kansas men’s basketball team would not shoot the ball well from the outside and would not be able to rely on the 3-point shot to bury an opponent.

That game arrived on Saturday afternoon at Allen Fieldhouse, but the result remained He is so the same. competiDepsite s h o o t i n g tive and just 5-of- he just 20 from 3 - p o i n t seems range, the to make Jayhawks plays.” prevailed, 8 7 - 8 0 , over a — KU coach Bill s c r a p p y Self, on Frank O k l a h o - Mason III ma State squad.

And senior point guard Frank Mason III, as has come to be expected, was a big reason for it.

But it wasn’t Mason’s smooth stroke or eyepopping 3-point percentage that led Kansas to a 16th-consecutive victory and the brink of becoming the No. 1-ranked team in the nation. Instead, it was his heart.

“I thought Frank was really good defensively today, but, offensively, that’s about as average as he’s been because he didn’t make shots,” said KU coach Bill Self of his point guard who finished 6-of-16 from the floor, but still tallied a team-high 22 points. “Usually, if he gets four good looks he makes three. We get pretty spoiled. And today he made just one. But he gets the ball where it needs to go.

“I can get onto him and he can frustrate me and all this stuff, but I’m not gonna take him for granted.... He is so competitive and he just seems to make plays. I thought today he was average, but he competed hard.”

And it took every ounce of sweat, each defensive

OSU coach likes KU’s toughness In preparation for his first trip to Allen Fieldhouse as a head coach, Oklahoma State’s Brad Underwood got right to the essence of what makes Kansas such a tough team when he wrote one word next to Josh Jackson’s name on the scouting report: “Dog.” After the final buzzer sounded on the Jayhawks’ 87-80 victory that pushed their Allen Fieldhouse winning streak to 49 games Saturday, Underwood told Frank Mason III more than congratulations. He told him, “If it ended today he’d be the national player of the year. He refuses to let

Again, Underwood went canine, the ultimate compliment from basketball coaches, in describing Mason.

“I’ve watched Frank for four years and with that bulldog mentality, he’s getting that thing

Chiefs aim to get even against Steelers

By Dave Skretta AP Sports Writer

Kansas City, Mo. — Alex Smith endured watching film of the Kansas City Chiefs’ meltdown in Pittsburgh earlier this season “a bunch of times” this week, still trying to figure out where everything went wrong.

As if he hasn’t relived it enough in his nightmares.

Ben Roethlisberger

threw five touchdown passes. Le’Veon Bell starred in his return from a three-game suspension.

The Steelers scored 22 first-quarter points, led 36-0 before the Chiefs finally scored and they proceeded to defeat the eventual AFC West champions 43-14 that October night.

“It’s been a long time,” Smith said, “so they’ve changed. Over the course

of the season, they’ve progressed and gone a certain direction. There’s a lot they change weekto-week as well.”

But the Chiefs (12-4) are a different team, too.

Wide receiver Tyreek Hill has made a name for himself as one of the NFL’s most dynamic rookies, going from special-teams standout to offensive difference-maker.

Top pass rusher Justin

Houston is also expected to be available after missing the first meeting while recovering from knee surgery.

Oh, and this matchup with the Steelers (12-5) will be at loud Arrowhead Stadium rather than Heinz Field, and a spot in the AFC title game awaits the winner.

“We got embarrassed in the first meeting,” Chiefs center Mitch

Morse said, “and we had to come back and kind of take a step back and realize, ‘We’re a good football team.’ We had to understand where we were. We learned a lot from that game and we were able to take the next step.”

Indeed, the Chiefs ripped off five straight wins after that loss in Pittsburgh, a stretch that turned around their season.

They wound up overtaking Oakland for the division title on the final day of the regular season, earning a first-round bye and a home playoff game.

The Steelers basically had a bye, too: They routed Miami last weekend to advance.

“I think a postseason challenge on the road is one thing,” Steelers coach

The Associated Press

Falcons 36, Seahawks 20 Atlanta — Matt Ryan looked very much like an MVP, and the Atlanta Falcons are headed to the NFC championship game.

Ryan threw for 338 yards and three touchdowns, leading the Falcons to a victory over Seattle in the divisional round Saturday.

Atlanta will face either the Dallas Cowboys or the Green Bay Packers, who meet today in the NFC’s other divisional game.

After the Seahawks zipped down the field for a touchdown on the opening possession, Atlanta’s young defense largely shut down Russell Wilson & Co. the rest of the way.

Ryan and the high-scoring Falcons took it from there — getting a huge boost from a holding penalty that wiped out an 80yard punt return by Devin Hester.

Ryan hooked up with Julio Jones on a 7-yard touchdown and Tevin Coleman for a 14-yard score before finishing off the Seahawks with a 3-yard toss to Mohamed Sanu in the corner of the end zone with just under 4 minutes remaining, sparking a raucous chant of “MVP! MVP! MVP!” from a Georgia Dome crowd that stood most of the game, giving the Falcons the sort of home-field advantage that Seattle is used to having at the Link.

Before a foot injury limited him in the second half, Jones made life miserable for Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman, who got away with an apparent pass interference penalty on Atlanta’s star receiver when the teams met during the regular season, preserving a 26-24 victory for the Seahawks.

Jones was targeted eight times, coming up with six receptions for 67 yards to set a tone that Atlanta would not be intimidate by the Legion of Boom.

But, as usual, Ryan

spread the ball around to everyone. Speedy Taylor Gabriel had a 37-yard reception.

Running back Devonta Freeman slipped out of the backfield to haul in a 53-yard pass, putting a dazzling fake on replacement free safety Steven Terrell right in the middle of the field.

In all, eight players caught passes for Atlanta.

For only the fourth time in their 51-year history, the Falcons (12-5) will be playing for the conference title and a spot in the Super Bowl.

They made their only Super Bowl appearance during the 1998 season, falling to Denver in John Elway’s final game, and lost in the NFC title game during the 2004 and 2012 seasons.

Patriots 34, Texans 16 Foxborough, Mass. — The New England Patriots are headed back to a familiar spot: the AFC championship game.

Dion Lewis had a 13yard touchdown reception , a 98-yard kickoff return for a score, and a late 1-yard touchdown to help the Patriots hold off the Houston Texans 34-16

the 36-hole scoring record Friday. This time, his second shot into the par-5 18th clipped a palm frond and came up well short in the fairway.

He poured in the birdie putt for a 5-under 65 and stretched his lead to seven over Zach Johnson, who kept pace with a 65.

KU-BAYLOR WOMEN’S BASKETBALL When: 1 p.m. today Where: Allen Fieldhouse Series: Baylor leads 26-8

Big 12 woes Kansas is all alone at the bottom of the Big 12 standing through the early part of conference season, sitting at 0-5. However, four of the five losses have come against teams ranked in the top-25.

It doesn’t get any easier with No. 2 Baylor, which has lost just once this year.

Second-year coach Brandon Schneider, who is still seeking his first Big 12 victory in the regular season, has to face six nationally opponents in the first seven contests to begin conference slate.

Pressure defense Despite sitting at the bottom of the conference standings, the Jayhawks actually pace the Big 12 in turnovers created. With its athletic backcourt, Kansas is forcing

19.5 turnovers per contest, including 9.5 steals. The steals lead to easy buckets on the offensive end as KU is averaging 15.8 points per game off their oppositions’ mistakes.

Sophomore wing Kylee Kopatich anchors the defense with a team-high 26 thefts.

Mike Tomlin said, “but at a legendary venue like that is something else.

We’re excited about it.

We respect it.”

But they aren’t going to be intimidated by it.

The Steelers have been in enough big games over the years that it takes more than a trip to Kansas City, where the Chiefs have not won a playoff game since the 1993 season, to leave them quaking in their cleats.

Besides, they already beat the Chiefs in a laugher once this season.

“If you need the ‘revenge factor’ in the playoffs to help you win, something is wrong with you,” Roethlisberger said.

“You’re in the playoffs, so you need to throw everything out, whether you played them before or didn’t play them before, personnel or whatever it is. You need to start fresh.”

As the Chiefs and Steelers prepare to meet again tonight, here are some keys to the game: Lace up your skates: The U.S. figuring skating championships are in Kansas City this weekend, and Arrowhead Stadium might make a mighty fine rink. Forecasts for today call for a near-100 percent chance of freezing rain that could leave the turf, re-sodded just this week, with a thick glaze.

The game was supposed to kick off at 12:05 p.m. Central time, but was moved to 7:20 p.m. so stadium and road crews along with local and state authorities could ensure roads and parking lots were safe.

“No weather is a part of our ball,” Tomlin said.

“We don’t overanalyze that.”

“I don’t know if there’s a secret,” he insisted. “I think everybody does it the same way.”

Over the hill: By the end of the regular season, Hill had returned two punts and a kickoff for touchdowns, and scored six times through the air and three times on the ground. But he also had a 78-yard punt return touchdown against the Steelers brought back by a penalty.

Tomlin called him “a weapon to be reckoned with,” but Steelers kicker Chris Boswell said dealing with Hill’s speed is more difficult than simply kicking away from him.

“One return man, you have to put the ball in play,” Boswell said. “It also depends on weather.

He is going to return. It’s just a matter of covering and tackling.”

slide and all of the friendly bounces, timely plays and clutch moments Mason and his teammates could provide to will Kansas (16-1 overall, 5-0 Big 12) past an Oklahoma State that smelled upset for 39 minutes.

Led by its own terrific trio of Jawun Evans (15 points, six assists), Phil Forte III (10 points, six rebounds) and Jeffrey Carroll (23 points, seven rebounds), the Cowboys raced out to an 11-point lead in the first half by giving maximum effort on every play and hitting a scorching 70 percent of their shots to open the game. That trio combined to score OSU’s first 17 points, a feat that went completely against what Kansas wanted to do defensively.

“That was our whole game plan, making sure those guys didn’t have big nights,” Self said. “For them to only end up with 48 (points) after the way they started, we obviously were better after that.”

The Jayhawks never led in the first half and trailed for 19:09 during that stretch, tying the game on three separate occasions but only for a matter of seconds each time.

OSU’s ability to answer every punch KU threw its way, including a 12-2 run that pulled the Jayhawks within one with 7:55 to play in the first half, played a huge role in the way the first half played out.

The Jayhawks had one quality opportunity to claim the lead but a corner 3-pointer from Svia-

“There’s a refuse-tolose mentality that they have,” Underwood said.

Nothing about the way the Cowboys (10-7, 0-5) competed Saturday suggested they were anything but a tough out and in Jawun Evans, they too have a standout point guard.

In Mason and Graham, Kansas starts two point

toslav Mykhailiuk rattled in-and-out and the Cowboys answered on the very next trip down the floor with a 3-pointer of their own to turn a 3534 lead into a four-point cushion.

The Cowboys (10-7, 0-5) took that lead into the locker room and did not surrender control until Devonté Graham’s driving layup with 14:10 to play put Kansas ahead, 51-50.

All three of Graham’s 3-pointers came in the second half, two during the Jayhawks’ climb to claim the lead, while Mason and Mykhailiuk

only made one apiece, in 10 combined attempts, to account for all of KU’s outside shooting Saturday.

After quickly building a five-point lead following Graham’s go-ahead bucket, OSU tied things with a ferocious rally of their own with 11:22 to play. The teams remained separated by just a possession or two into the final two minutes and Kansas did not claim its largest lead of the day until Graham swished a pair of free throws with 21 seconds to play.

“Their pace early in the game made us play faster than we wanted to,” Self said. “And I thought we took some bad (shots), off balance. The second half, we drove it downhill a lot more and got to the free throw line. That was our best offense tonight.”

After making 12 of its first 14 shots from the free throw line, KU connected on 30 of 45 for the game, compared to just 11-of-14 free throw shooting for Oklahoma State.

Those freebies, along with KU’s second-half performance on the glass — outrebounding OSU 27-15 after being outworked by three in the first half — helped KU hold off the strong challenge from the Cowboys.

KU trailed at halftime for the second game in a row and fourth time this season, but moved to 4-0 in those games thanks to another challenge from Self.

“It’s an emphasis every game,” Graham said of winning the rebounding war. “We were getting out-rebounded at halftime and, once again, coach called us out and we just responded to the challenge in attacking the boards.”

guards and it’s possible that will be the position where Jackson will spend most of what figures to be a long NBA career.

“This league, this year, has elite point guards all the way up and down the conference, elite point guards,” Underwood said. “More importantly, most of them are veteran point guards. I’ve used the term it’s like having Tom Brady at quarterback. There’s nothing you can throw at them that they have not seen.”

That certainly applies to Mason and Graham.

Jackson’s so smart that after he sees something for the first time, the

next time he sees it his brain fools him into thinking he’s seen it since he learned how to walk, which presumably came several years before he learned how to fly.

For a variety of reasons, this team doesn’t defend up to coach Bill Self’s typical standards and certainly doesn’t have typical depth, but three junkyard dogs are so hard to guard, and know how to guard effectively, that the Jayhawks will take the court against Iowa State in Ames on Monday night riding a 16-game winning streak and likely ranked No. 1 in the nation.

KANSAS GUARD JOSH JACKSON (11) TANGLES WITH OKLAHOMA STATE GUARD DAVON DILLARD (24) and OSU guard Jawun Evans during the Jayhawks’ 87-80 victory Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse.

NOTEBOOK

Jackson wants to keep composure

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

With his team in a dogfight and crunch time quickly approaching, Kansas freshman Josh Jackson was whistled for a charging foul on a bucket that, had it stood, would have given the Jayhawks their first lead of the game.

After hearing the whistle and confirming the call, Jackson, who three times already this year had been hit with technical fouls for reacting to plays in the heat of the moment, raced to the other end of the floor with a pained look on his face and disagreement dripping from his body language.

Asked after KU’s 87-80 victory over Oklahoma State how he was able to keep his composure after such a tough play, Jackson showed the kind of growth that Kansas coach Bill Self has been expecting.

“I don’t really think that I kept my cool,” Jackson admitted. “I think I could’ve handled it better than I did, actually. Sometimes I just don’t agree with the call and it gets to me a little bit. I’m just

glad I didn’t get a technical this time.”

Self, who actually argued the charge call with officials after the whistle, said he did not think Jackson did anything wrong on the play or in the moments after it. But he would like to see Jackson take another step toward controlling those small outbursts.

“Part of competing is being able to think next play and not put your team at all in jeopardy more,” Self said. “We drill him and talk to him and do those things. He’s an emotional guy, which I would much rather him be emotional than not emotional, but I think he can probably handle some situations, from a body language standpoint, better when things don’t go his way.”

Hearing that Jackson agreed and called himself out for his reaction proved to be an encouraging sign in Self’s eyes.

“I didn’t bring it up with him,” he said. “I just told him keep his mouth shut. And, of course, his reply was, ‘I didn’t do anything,’ which, I’ve never known a player that does do anything wrong. But I think he’s one of those

KANSAS GUARD DEVONTÉ GRAHAM (4) spots up for a 3-pointer against OSU’s Lindy Waters.

Happy homecoming Oklahoma State coach Brad Underwood, a native of McPherson who played at Kansas State and also worked as an assistant coach there from 2006-12, said being back in the Sunflower State was almost perfect.

“It’s great, other than coming here,” Underwood joked after Saturday’s game. “Sheesh. I just told the team I’m 0-9 in this building. Let’s hurry up and get the heck out of here.”

“This is such a special state,” Underwood continued. “You have three universities that produce top-level basketball. You have top community colleges and Division II basketball. This place is special. Kansas is always going to be home and I’m always going to be proud to be a part of this state and everything that transpires here.”

“Nothing is better than an afternoon game here in Allen Fieldhouse,” Mason said. “The fans are great and it just gives us time to kind of hang out with our family for the rest of the day and gives us time to relax instead of going straight to bed.”

PHOTOGRAPHER MIKE YODER, RIGHT, LOOKS THROUGH PRINTS OF CONTACT SHEETS with Lawrence Arts Center exhibition program director Ben Ahlvers on Monday in the front gallery at the Lawrence Arts Center.

SHOWING THEIR WORK Photojournalism exhibit sheds light on a hidden process

he term “painting with light” is often used when describing photography in the artistic sense. But unlike studying a painting, when you look at a single photograph, you don’t see the accumulation of all those thousands of little brush strokes and there aren’t any hints of the initial sketch lying underneath. The work building toward the photograph is largely invisible. All you have is the image.

A current exhibit at the Lawrence Arts Center, featuring works by Mike Yoder and Richard Gwin, two photographers with well over a halfcentury’s worth of combined years at the Lawrence JournalWorld, aims to bring forth the hidden process. By presenting prints of contact sheets while on assignment, and photos selected after being pushed through the various channels of editing, “the work” is made visible.

“For a place like this that’s heavy on education, it’s good to have exhibitions like this where students can see the guts behind the curtain,” said Ben Ahlvers, exhibition program director, who has worked with Yoder and Gwin in going through some of their archives.

Several of Yoder’s contact sheets from a late-’90s dance at the Lawrence Senior Center, show whimsical scenes of local seniors. In the opening sheet, the saxophonist/ clarinet player warms up while a woman seemingly dances across the floor, albeit with a

contact sheet kind of shows a little bit of the path,” explained Yoder, who leads photography workshops and provides visual consultations for photographers. “It’s almost like the (viewer) can walk alongside the photographer and watch what we’re doing.”

An idea and a walk with a camera was responsible for leading to what Yoder describes as one of his favorite photographs from a birdwatching adventure. Yoder explains that he began photographing a group of girls as they suited up in fur coats and binoculars while indoors at the Prairie Park Nature Center.

“It was one of those kind of things where you get the image in your head (beforehand),” Yoder explained.

“All of a sudden, you realize something is going to develop here and I see this image I want to get. When they’re THIS CONTACT SHEET BY MIKE YODER shows a dance at the Lawrence Senior Center in the late ’90s.

hen you go for a walk, do you aim for a certain place, or do you saunter until something piques your curiosity?

A fuller appreciation of most anything surely benefits from both approaches, and the authors of two wonderful new books about trees prove this to be true.

Peter Wohlleben is a forester who has written a small but dense book called “The Hidden Life of Trees.” His agenda is not to wander too much, but to look long and hard at the trees of “his” woods, a municipal forest in western Germany full of beeches, spruce, and oaks. I normally don’t much go for anthropomorphic and mechanical analogies when

talking about natural systems, but Wohlleben makes it work.

In this book, trees hear and smell and feel. They talk and even yell. Their symbiotic subterranean network of mycorrhizal fungi, the “Wood Wide Web,” is all-important, and underappreciated. Though the book explores an entirely different ecosystem than ours and is by no means a field guide, I’d suggest it’s worth reading a few chapters and then going for a slow walk in the woods.

For additional local inspiration and information, maybe also read the “Old Growth” chapter in George Frazier’s fine book “The Last Wild Places of Kansas” and consult the maps and woodland discussions

in Ken Lassman’s “Wild Douglas County.” Then reach out to some neighboring oak and hackberry and Osage orange trees.

Now is a good time, with the leaves and ticks and oak leaf itch mites out of the way, with nests visible and tree forms much more apparent.

But having done your homework, you’ve deduced that we humans have affected whatever it is you might find. What are we to make of it?

To offer some possible guidelines, eminent paleontologist and author Richard Fortey has been kicking around his woods in England and has just released “The Wood for the Trees,” a comprehensive stroll which incorporates not only tree stories, but also tales of deep time and

Lichens, mushrooms, beetles, dormice, bats, moths, ghost orchids, and muntjacs — all are investigated. “Not so much an inventory,” he says, “as a catalogue leading to compelling and interlocking stories.”

human associations. If Wohlleben’s book is the “how” of trees, Fortey’s is more of the “what.” As the author says, it’s “both romantic and forensic.”

So he writes of making beech leaf liqueur, firing clay ceramics from his forest soils, making glass from the flint of the area, crafting fine cabinetry from felled cherry trees, making walking sticks and charcoal, and exploring the local history of bodgers and turners (chair- and bowl-makers).

He also digs deep into the human history of his area — sometimes a bit too far afield from his woodland forays — which lends a certain bioregional air to the tale. After all, he can easily work back a couple thousand years to when Romans occupied his turf.
