Weapons in Lawrence schools: Mostly accidental, for showing off

By Elliot Hughes Twitter: @ehughes12

In 2008, a Lawrence elementary school student got in trouble after discovering a discarded switchblade and taking it to school to show friends.

Kansas law identifies a switchblade as a weapon,

Discipline handed down on case-by-case basis, district officials explain and taking a weapon to school automatically puts a yearlong expulsion on the table. But because of the circumstances — no incident occurred, the pupil was young, no ill intent was

found — a 10-day suspension was handed down, said Ron May, the district’s director of administrator services.

Well, that’s easy to figure out, says Ezekial Sheridan, a Lawrence middle school student, who was at the lot recently. It has to be a real tree.

“They’re less plasticky,” he says.

It is hard to argue with that. Others tout the smell of a real tree, how they shimmer in the light and other such points that you’ll learn if you spend an hour or so hanging out with people who sell Christmas trees. Which isn’t as easy of a job as it used to be.

Kathy Summers, the organizer of the Breakfast Optimist Club’s tree program, says sales of live Christmas trees have been on the decline. The club once operated three lots.

It now is down to one.

(The Lawrence Luncheon Optimist Club operates a tree lot at the Checkers grocery store at 23rd and Louisiana.)

But Summers is predicting good sales this year.

for what occurred.”

So far the district has seen a small hike this year in the number of inappropriate items — objects used in a threatening manner or facsimiles of weapons — taken to school.

After about four months of class, staff has learned of 10 inappropriate objects and one weapon at school this year. The whole-year average over the past three years is 11 inappropriate objects and three weapons, according to data from the district and the Kansas State Department of Education. About 12,000 students are enrolled in the Lawrence district.

Weapons were a factor in 12 in- and out-of-school suspensions, as well as one expulsion, in Lawrence schools over the previous five years.

School officials are not worried about safety inside their buildings, they say, because it is rare that students carry these objects with bad intentions.

Given the range of ages and maturity levels at play, students might bring inappropriate objects to school for all kinds of reasons.

Most of the time, there is no incident.

“Lawrence schools are safe learning environments,” district spokeswoman Julie Boyle said.

Established in Tradition

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Promise yourself: to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind; to talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet; to make all your friends feel that there is something in them; to look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true; to think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best; to be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own; to forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future; to wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile; to give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others; to be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear and too happy to permit the presence of trouble. the optimist part.

The group has an actual “optimist creed” that it reads at every meeting. It includes such nuggets as: Be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind; be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own; and give every living creature you meet a smile.

“We promote it, we live it, and hopefully we share it so other people become optimists,” Summers said.

The club is involved in projects throughout the community. The club donates about $25,000 a year to youth activities, including the club’s program to provide a dictionary to every fourth-grade student in the city, academic scholarships, food programs for children in need and a host of others.

But while the money goes to youth programs, the approximately 85 members of the club hope their message hits home with all ages.

“It is so important to have optimism these days,” Summers said. “There is nothing more depressing than the news.”

Summers apologizes a bit when she remembers that she is talking to a newsman. I tell her there is no need. With the constant noise of a police scanner, with the frequent squabbles of politics, with everything else that makes a newsroom a newsroom,

“On occasion, a few students have exercised poor judgment in bringing inappropriate objects to school.”

When it comes to communicating expectations to elementary level students, the district focuses more on parents. At the start of every year, a welcome letter is sent to parents that mentions forbidden objects, officials said. Any incident involving banned objects later in the year prompts another letter home.

As students progress into middle and high school, though, they are expected to understand what is appropriate, and they can refer to a student handbook that’s contained in their school-issued planners.

But some students still end up in school with a banned object. May, who acts as an officer in disciplinary hearings, said he’s heard all kinds of reasons — finding the object on the way to school, forgetting to take it out of a backpack after a Boy Scouts meeting, showing it off to friends.

May, a district employee since 2001, said he’s never heard a student claim they didn’t know an object didn’t belong in school.

Nor has anyone told him they brought something because they didn’t feel safe in school. Once, a student said they didn’t feel safe walking home.

Rarely do threats or altercations with the objects occur. Boyle said the district hasn’t had a student threaten or assault any-

I long ago realized that my cup didn’t runneth over with optimism. If all it took to be an optimist was eating both bacon and sausage for breakfast, I would be the president of this club.

But from where I sit, being an optimist isn’t that easy.

I’m betting, however, that the feeling isn’t unique to my industry, nor our times. It always has been easy to get beaten down in this world and assume that trouble is around every corner.

And then, one day, you turn a corner, and find a Christmas tree lot full of optimists.

It is a good place to get a tree but an even better place to get an important reminder.

“Optimism is one of the few things you can control,” says Deborah Kurtz, another club member and tree lot worker. “It is not always easy, but it is something you can choose to do.”

And the way these tree peddlers see it, the holiday season is a perfect time to give it a try.

“You’ve got a leg up,” Summers said. “You’ve already got a feel-good feeling going on. Just keep it going.”

It sounds like a plan. I can already feel the change.

I’m optimistic that this year the Christmas tree really will stay tied to the car.

Well, cautiously optimistic.

one with a statutorily defined weapon (things like guns, incendiary devices or switchblades) in over a decade.

Last month, however, West Middle School was the setting of an incident involving a sixth-grader with a razor blade, which is categorized as an object inappropriate for school.

Neither school officials nor police shared many specifics, other than another student’s coat was damaged and no one was injured.

If a student brings a weapon to school or uses an inappropriate object in a threatening or dangerous way, district administrators hold a formal hearing where evidence is presented and cross-examination takes place to determine an appropriate punishment.

For cases involving weapons, state law requires the hearing and the consideration of a 186-school-day expulsion, which can only be lowered by the superintendent, as it was in the 2008 switchblade case.

Journal-World.

This reader’s concern — her anger, really — was about a story we’d run in Monday’s newspaper about three Kansas University athletes who were arrested in a fight at The Cave, a nightclub at The Oread hotel. The reader’s view was that our decision to run this story across the top of the front page and to use photographs of the three, who are black, was overplaying the story and was racially insensitive.

She said she’d seen this pattern in our paper over 40 years and was concerned in particular that we seem inconsistent in how we run photos of defendants in public safety stories. Her belief is that we run photos of minority defendants more consistently than white defendants.

We had a bit of conversation about when and whether photos are available to us from law enforcement, but the real message for me wasn’t about what pictures we run on a particular day. It was about the fact that when this reader looks at our paper or website, she does not see her community accurately reflected. If she feels that way, others must too.

The reader asked if we had a community group to talk with us about how minority communities are

Child support payments, collection costs fall Topeka (ap) — Kansas collected the lowest percentage of child support payments in more than a decade, but did so more cheaply than it had in the past.

Data obtained by The Topeka Capital-Journal through an open records request show that in fiscal year 2014, only 54.04 percent of current support due was collected.

The last time that percentage was lower was in 2000, when the state had a 48.17 percent collection rate.

Still, Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback characterized the overall results of the state’s 2013 privatization of child support collection as good, noting that

cost-effectiveness has risen sharply.

“What we’ve done on collection of child support payments, where we’ve privatized that — thus far, we’ve had good overall results. Now, the collection levels haven’t been that much increased. Our costs have gone down substantially, so our net to the dependent individual or to the state has been much improved,” Brownback said.

The state collected less current support dollars in fiscal 2014 than in the previous year, even though the amount of current support that is due is growing. About $130.6 million in current support was collected in

In addition, the percentage of child support payments in arrears that was collected in 2014 fell, while support orders — through which a court sets terms of child support from one parent to another — also declined.

In an interview with The Capital-Journal, Brownback focused on

Among the other feedback from this week’s meeting: l A retired Lawrence Police Department employee said she sees an anti-law enforcement bias in our public safety coverage. l A couple of readers asked about our failure to cover a meeting on the proposed Ninth Street arts corridor that drew 200 residents. They were

(The answer: We don’t get as many questions as we used to, and we don’t seed the garden with questions we pose ourselves.) A different reader called the next day with a great suggestion: Name the feature something less confrontational sounding, like “I wonder why …” l A reader said she likes the fact that we print poetry from local writers. l A reader suggested that we run profiles of interesting or accomplished local residents on Mondays. l A reader cautioned

us to use East Lawrence only when we mean the neighborhood, not anything in eastern Lawrence. l A writer asked that we review self-published books. l A reader from Lecompton asked that we increase coverage of that community and Eudora. l A reader asked for more coverage of research going on at Kansas University and more aggressive coverage of the community planning process. l A reader asked if we leave out national stories that might anger liberal Lawrencians (we don’t) and said that he doesn’t like editorial cartoons by Mike Luckovich.

data that show Kansas collected $5.89 for every $1 spent collecting it. Last year, the state collected $4.12 for every dollar, while in 2002, the state’s cost-effectiveness ratio was 3.39 to 1.

The Department for Children and Families has argued that an influx of cases caused by changes made under the Affordable Care Act is partly responsible for the falling collection rate.

Trisha Thomas, who leads child support services. “The next year, and how we kind of budgeted and really thought about things is the obligation rate and the percentage of current support are the ones that go up the next year and stay up there.”

The governor’s comments were in response to a question about whether he supports increased privatization in state government.

“If it makes sense and it works,” he said. “I’m a pragmatic conservative. I tilt conservative, but it’s got to work.”

Leaders speak out against staffing cuts at Fort Leavenworth Leavenworth (ap) — Several civic and business leaders are urging Army officials to spare Fort Leavenworth from personnel cuts while the military weighs where to make reductions required by law.

Federal officials must cut the Army from 490,000 to 450,000 people by 2020, and a commission has already announced a potential loss of 2,500 personnel at Fort Leavenworth, The Topeka Capital-Journal reported.

Leaders in the northeastern Kansas community spoke at a Thursday town hall held by the commission, called the Supplemental Programmatic Environmental As-

sessment for Army 2020, warning of potential consequences if jobs are cut from the Army post.

Frank Lenk, director of research services with the Mid-America Regional Council, said an additional 2,500 jobs could be lost in the Kansas City area because of a reduction at Fort Leavenworth. Director John Armbrust of the Governor’s Military Council said tax revenue could decline in Leavenworth by $1.7 million annually.

Brig.

Gen. Roger Cloutier, director of Army force management, stressed that nothing has been decided yet and that officials’ comments would be taken back to senior leadership.

city must find a way to deal with several packs of stray dogs.

The Kansas City Star reports that Animal Control Director Michelle Angell acknowledged the city has a “huge” problem with dog packs. She says residents fear jogging downtown and children going to school are sometimes frightened by the animals.

Part of the problem is that animal control has six officers and a supervisor.

A national animal control group says a city the size of Kansas City, Kan., should have 20 officers.

The city said 271 dogs were captured in July, August and September.

Info in burning death must be released Topeka — A Kansas judge has ruled that more information about a Wichita man charged in a sexual assault and fatal burning must be released to the media.

The Associated Press, The Wichita Eagle and broadcasters KWCH, KAKE and KSN went to court Friday pursuing the probable cause affidavits in the case against Cornell McNeal.

The 26-year-old is charged with one count of capital murder or an alternative count of firstdegree murder in the death of Letitia “Tish” Davis. The mother of four suffered from burns on more than half her body and cuts on her head in the Nov. 14 attack and died Nov. 22.

The defense argued the release of records could “endanger the life or physical safety” of McNeal because the prosecution could seek the death penalty.

Fire

It probably is time to do a review of all the ordinances. This type of thing needs to be avoided at all costs.”

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

In addition, at the time of the fire, Christal K-9 had almost double the number of dogs it typically has because of the Thanksgiving holiday, according to Lawrence Douglas-County Fire Medical records.

One dog was alone in a playroom where the fire ignited after the motor on a box fan froze, the fire report said. The dog was already dead when firefighters broke into that room.

“We’ll be discussing whether kennels should be mandated to have a fire sprinkler,” said Lawrence City Commissioner Jeremy Farmer. “I think that is a no-brainer. Obviously what happened in that fire was devastating to the owners and families of these pets and was really unfortunate.”

Lawrence City Manager David Corliss sent commissioners a memorandum on Wednesday, briefing them on state and local boarding kennel regulations and how other Kansas cities regulate kennels. The memo also included a few suggestions on how the code might be amended.

Some of the issues mentioned in the memo include: l The city code requires any kennels — businesses that board five or more dogs simultaneously — to obtain a commercial kennel license, but in recent history, no boarding kennel in Lawrence has applied for a license, the memo said. No commercial kennel currently has a license. l State law requires kennels to be inspected and licensed through the state Department of Agriculture. The memo questioned whether city licensing and state licensing overlap. l City staff researched several Kansas cities and found that only Manhattan licenses and inspects boarding kennels through specific regulations.

The other cities, including Olathe, Wichita and Topeka, indicated local rules could duplicate state rules. l As for the city’s fire code, fire inspectors annually inspect businesses, including kennels, to determine compliance, the memo said. l In a review of inspections of kennels, city staff found that two had open violations: an emergency light needed service, and an electrical outlet cover plate was missing. l The memo suggested that if commissioners believed additional fire safety codes were needed, city staff could do further research to amend the city’s fire regulations specific to kennels.

Mayor Mike Amyx said the commission would likely have a discussion soon about the city code but it was too early to make recommendations.

“It probably is time to do a review of all the ordinances,” Amyx said.

FIRE AND MEDICAL CREWS treat dogs after a kennel fire at Christal K-9, 3115 W. Sixth St., on Nov. 29.

“This type of thing needs to be avoided at all costs.”

Christal K-9 owner Cedric Devin, who has apologized to the families for their loss and anxiety, did not return calls requesting an interview for this story. He told a reporter earlier that his attorneys had asked him to refrain from talking to the media.

Devin and his wife, Elizabeth Devin, opened the 1,500-square-foot grooming and boarding business several years ago. Cedric Devin served on the board of the Lawrence Humane Society for several years.

They have not said when they will reopen the business. The fire report said there is insurance through Allied Insurance, but it is unclear whether that covers just fire damage to the building or whether that insurance would cover the dogs’ medical bills.

One owner has told the Journal-World that the veterinarian who treated her dog has estimated medical bills will be at least $3,000.

The Devins also are heavily indebted. Douglas County court records show the state filed lawsuits against them and Christal K-9 earlier this year for about $232,000 in delinquent sales and income taxes. The court records do not indicate that any payments have been made to the state, and a Kansas Department of Revenue spokeswoman said she could not release any more information.

After the fire, investigators interviewed Christal K-9 employees who worked at the business Nov. 28, the night before the fire, according to the fire reports.

Susan Lown, a groomer, and her husband, Robert Lown, arrived at Christal K-9 about 11 p.m.

Because Christal K-9 was boarding 23 dogs, almost twice as many as normal, she wanted to clean up some cages and water and walk some of the dogs, the fire report said. Her husband volunteered to help.

Susan Lown said she saw the fans running but did not see anything out of the ordinary.

Danielle DuMortier, the daughter of Elizabeth Devin, also showed up to help with the dogs.

DuMortier told an investigator that because some of the dogs were panting, she turned down the air conditioning to 70 degrees from 78 degrees.

All three left just after midnight.

Enjoy your holidays at home with us!

At 6:25 a.m., Becky Eason, an employee of Jazzercise, a business next to Christal K-9, arrived to open up the business.

She told an investigator she smelled a “strange” smoke when she opened her car door.

When she peeked into the Jazzercise business, she saw a haze, and the smoke smell was stronger.

She called 911.

Firefighters arrived in five minutes, according to the fire report.

Firefighters did a sweep of the Jazzercise business but did not find signs of fire except for a light, hazy smoke.

They used a thermal imager and found elevated temperatures along the wall shared with Christal K-9.

Using “irons,” firefighters forced open the Christal K-9 door and saw a large bank of smoke covering the floor.

A firefighter reported finding a possible fire source and requested ventilation, the report said.

As the smoke was being exhausted, a firefighter opened a door inside Christal K-9 and found a room with numerous dogs in kennels.

Firefighters brought out a couple and a medic assisted bystanders in trying to resuscitate them. But as firefighters continued to bring out dogs, a medic called a division chief for backup.

Firefighters established two triage areas and dogs with minor injuries were

melted the kennel, the report said. Lulu’s body was found outside the kennel near the entrance of the playroom, according to the report.

The Eichers told the Journal-World that Lulu’s white fur was black with smoke and she’d ripped the skin from the top of her nose in her attempts to free herself from the cage.

On Tuesday, the Eichers lost their second dog, Jig, who succumbed to

placed in a separate grassy area.

Soon, firefighters, police officers, workers from animal control and the Humane Society shelter as well as veterinarians were working to save lives. Eason, who had reported the fire, also assisted.

Special pet oxygen masks that had been donated to the fire department in October were brought in and were later credited with saving some lives.

All the dogs were transported to area clinics: Clinton Parkway Animal Hospital, Bradley Animal Hospital and Animal Hospital of Lawrence.

Cedric Devin transported three dogs, including one named Jig, to Gentle Care Animal Hospital, according to the fire report.

The fire had been contained in a playroom for dogs and had already burned out when firefighters arrived, the fire report said.

Investigators said a kennel was placed in the corner of that room and the box fan had been placed on top of it. When the fan motor locked, it overheated. The internal parts of the motor, grease and ball bearings, heated until the insulation in the wiring caught fire and ignited the fiberboard behind the fan and the kennel.

It’s believed that Lulu, a dog owned by Eric and Vanessa Eicher, was in the kennel when the fire started. The heat from the fire

injuries it sustained from smoke inhalation.

Marguerite Ermeling, a veterinarian at Gentle Care Animal Hospital, told the Journal-World that some of the dogs could have long-lasting effects from the smoke.

A third dog, Bentley, owned by Nancy Hause, also died from smoke inhalation.

Anthony Barnett, who owns Home Sweet Home Dog Resort, says the pet business community is stunned and saddened by the tragedy.

Barnett’s business has a fire alarm and sprinkler system, but he has spent the two weeks since the fire reviewing and updating his emergency plans with fire officials and other experts.

“That fire situation is my worst nightmare,” Barnett said. “When you are dealing with living creatures, there is a certain amount of stress that never turns off.”

EDITORIALS

Open process Gov. Sam Brownback should open up his process for appointing members of the Kansas Court of Appeals.

G

ov. Sam Brownback said last week that he’s working to fill a vacancy on the Kansas Court of Appeals and plans to announce his choice well ahead of the February deadline set by state law.

Hopefully, the governor will choose to follow a process for that appointment that is far more transparent than the process he followed when appointing his former chief counsel, Caleb Stegall, to the court in 2013.

Stegall’s appointment was the first one made under a new law that eliminated the Kansas Judicial Nominating Commission’s role in selecting Court of Appeals judges. Those appointments now are made by the governor and confirmed by the Kansas Senate, without any input from the nominating group.

The new process was touted as more democratic because appointees must be approved by elected legislators, but, at least as it was conducted for Stegall, the process leading up to a court appointment is far less transparent than it was under the previous system.

The nominating commission advertised a deadline for nominations and subsequently released the names of everyone whose names were being considered for a vacant seat. When commission members selected the three nominees who would be forwarded to the governor, those names were made public so Kansas residents would know who was being considered. The commission still uses that process for Kansas Supreme Court nominees.

The “process” followed by Brownback in his only Court of Appeals appointment since the new law took effect was considerably less transparent. The governor took applications for the position but released no information about whom had applied or whom he was considering for the post. The first announcement from the governor’s office was the news that he had selected Stegall. The announcement declared Stegall as extremely qualified but offered no information about other nominees, meaning that Kansans had no opportunity to assess his qualifications against any other candidates for the job.

Brownback’s recent election campaign made a big issue of the governor’s responsibility for appointing judges to state courts, and it’s likely Brownback will push to also eliminate the Judicial Nominating Commission’s role in Supreme Court appointments.

For that reason, Kansans should be particularly interested in exactly how the governor goes about evaluating candidates and making these appointments. To that end, the governor should be willing to share the names of nominees and make his process as transparent as it possibly can be.

Details doom federal tax reform “Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen nineteen and six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result misery.”

— Mr. Micawber in “David Copperfield”

Washington — If America’s long-term economic growth were 3.5 percent, the result would be the restoration of cheerfulness. If long-term growth is closer to 2 percent, the result will be continuing social disappointment and political crankiness.

Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich., as chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, did his considerable best to deliver the indispensable igniter of sustained growth — tax reform. As he leaves Congress after 12 terms, passing the gavel to an equally able reformer, Paul Ryan, Camp remains confident that it can be done.

Such serenity is strange in today’s Washington, where even events that cause cheerfulness are for that reason depressing.

The euphoria occasioned by the economy adding 321,000 jobs in November indicates that we have defined success down. In the 1960s, there were nine months in which more than 300,000 jobs were added, the last being June 1969, when there were about 117 million fewer Americans than there are now. In the 1980s, job growth exceeded 300,000

George Will

georgewill@washpost.com

“

Camp would prefer to have just two tax brackets (10 percent and 25 percent) but thinks that, for political reasons, a third is necessary ‘because of the Derek Jeters of the world.’” in 23 months, the last being November 1988, when there were about 75 million fewer Americans than today.

To demonstrate how young people “are not getting the kind of start others got,” Camp offers a graph charting the “fraction of young adults living with older family members.” Beginning in the middle of the last decade, the line goes almost straight up, to almost 46 percent. For those 25 to 34, median household income plunged 8.9 percent between June 2009 and June 2012, the first three years of the recovery.

Surely it is time to give earners on the lower rungs of the ladder of upward mobility a boost by cutting their payroll taxes. This can be paid

for by ending the nonsense of taxing at the low capital gains rate the income that fabulously wealthy hedge fund managers call “carried interest.”

There is consensus about the broad contours of tax reform: Lowering rates and recouping lost revenue by closing loopholes, and by improved economic growth, justify “dynamic scoring.”

This means estimating the revenue and growth effects of tax changes that improve incentives to work, invest and consume. And save: The median savings of households 10 years from retirement is a paltry $12,000; nearly one-third of those 55-64 have no savings.

Consensus abruptly ends when dealing with details begins. Suppose the deductibility of mortgage interest were capped at a $500,000 mortgage level (involving less than 5 percent of houses on the market).

But all 435 congressional districts have this in common: They all have real estate interests (bankers, brokers, builders) who will object. But, says Camp, if tax reform delivers faster growth, housing prices will rise because more people will be working and in the housing market.

Charitable giving, too, is highly correlated with economic growth. Were the deductibility of charitable contributions limited in a context of improved economic growth, charitable giving would increase: People give more when they are prospering.

Such giving surged after Ronald Reagan reduced the top tax rate from 50 percent to 28 percent in 1986.

Camp would prefer to have just two tax brackets (10 percent and 25 percent) but thinks that, for political reasons, a third is necessary “because of the Derek Jeters of the world.”

There are so many high-earning athletes and entertainers, and corporate CEOs are earning so much more than in the 1980s, that a 35 percent bracket for income over $400,000 (less than 1 percent of taxpayers) is needed to serve the optics of equity.

One prerequisite for tax reform, Camp says, is presidential engagement. Of today’s president, Camp says: “I haven’t really seen why he is there.”

Because comprehensive tax reform inevitably would leave no faction unscathed, Camp’s optimism might seem misplaced. But optimism comes easily to a man two years into remission from lymphoma, the treatment for which cost him much of his hair. Said his son, with the savoir-faire for which the young are known: “Don’t worry, Dad, it was going anyway.” Camp is going from Congress with the knowledge that he advanced the cause of reform, and hence of American revival, and that, as Jefferson said, “The ground of liberty is to be gained by inches.”

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Dec. 14, 1914: years “Forgetfulness ago was the cause of IN 1914 a fire which originated from a hot iron being left on the ironing board at the Chi Omega house Saturday night. The girls were all down stairs when they found the upstairs full of smoke…. Nothing was seriously damaged except the ironing board.”

Elected mayor might benefit Lawrence

By Charles Jones

Chad Lawhorn recently compared the “Most Educated Cities in America,” by percapita GDP. Lawrence is solidly in last place at $33,501: 20 percent lower than the next (Fort Collins at $41,805) and 26 percent below the mean average for all ten ($52,674).

In spite of our rich social capital, fine educational institutions, and proximity to the Interstate 70 and Kansas Highway 10 corridors, we falter.

Local economies are complex, but consider one notable factor. Of the ten cities listed, seven directly elect their mayors (Corvallis, Ames, Columbia, Ithaca, Ann Arbor, Fort Collins, and Madison).

In two, the mayor is elected by the city council for a twoyear term (Boulder and Iowa City). Lawrence is unique in its odd system of a one-year, rotating, largely ceremonial mayor. This rather quaint structure is an impediment to our community’s well-being.

It’s time to consider a new arrangement: direct election of the city mayor.

Among 55 percent of American cities with a councilmanager form of government, 65 percent directly elect mayors, including nearly all cities in the Kansas City metro area.

This rises from citizen demands for responsive and effective government. Elected mayors are held accountable for leadership: for articulating and pursuing community aspirations, for building unity in

YOUR TURN understandings and commitments. Mayoral campaigns focus on vision, strategies and implementation. Re-election depends upon success in getting the job done.

As is, Lawrence has the chamber of commerce leading economic development efforts. How is that arrangement faring? As another Lawhorn article suggests, not well.

Per-capita income in Douglas County ranks near the bottom in Kansas, 91st out of 105 counties. Employment and wage growth are anemic.

Acquiescing to the wish lists Jones of developers is a weak substitute for proactive economic leadership: big boxes, strip malls and apartment complexes won’t create the well-paying, growth-oriented careers that Lawrence so desperately needs.

Turnover in the chamber’s front office (five CEOs in 15 years) suggests dissonance and confusion. I hold new CEO Larry McElwain in high regard, but years of churn suggests systemic problems that may persist in spite of this excellent appointment. The Chamber is a critical partner in economic development, but we risk too much with too

little reason for confidence in the current arrangement. We can do better.

Beyond advancing economic development, a fouryear mayor would offer other important benefits related to standing, acquired knowledge and sustained influence.

Currently, there are a number of initiatives underway to align administrative/economic interests in the KC metro area. Lawrence is inextricably linked to regional economies, infrastructure, social dynamics, formal and informal structures. Failure to strengthen regional relationships will leave us more isolated and irrelevant. A one-year mayor lacks both authority and consistency to be optimally effective in these situations. The city manager can go no further in advancing ideas or commitments than he reckons is supported by a commission majority. If we want to be a serious player in the regional economy, we need representation that speaks with a strong voice, holds office long enough to master regional dynamics and provides a steady presence over time. We need an elected mayor.

An elected mayor would also strengthen City Hall.

We are blessed with professional and altruistic public servants. But even the best organizations need external pressure to keep a performance edge. A four-year mayor would be well-positioned to gather new ideas from other organizations,

such as the Alliance for Innovation. New ideas can inspire innovation and excellence in our fine city staff, which will prove essential to overcoming challenges and realizing hopes.

I close with three suggestions: l Provide adequate funding for the mayor’s office. If we expect greater productivity from the mayor, we need to provide adequate compensation, travel funding and staff support. l Give no new authority to the mayor relative to other council members. Let him or her exhaust the friendly art of persuasion — along with existing authority to chair meetings and nominate appointees — before resorting to potentially polarizing tools and powers.

However, let’s do provide sufficient authority to ensure responsiveness from City Hall. l Consider this idea in a deliberative manner. As a “home-rule” city, we have legal authority to set our own governmental structure. But let’s do so thoughtfully. A good start would be for the commission to appoint a blue-ribbon panel to explore the possibility, gather public input and make recommendations.

Change is daunting. but no more daunting than sticking with a status quo that is clearly failing us.

CONGRESS

Senate OKs massive $1.1 trillion spending bill Washington (ap) — Congress cleared a $1.1 trillion spending bill for President Barack Obama’s signature late Saturday night after a day of Senate intrigue capped by a failed, largely symbolic Republican challenge to the administration’s new immigration policy.

The vote was 56-40 in favor of the measure, which funds nearly the entire government through the Sept. 30 end of the fiscal year. It also charts a new course for selected shaky pension plans covering more than 1 million retirees, including the possibility of benefit cuts.

The Senate passed the bill on a day Democrats launched a drive to confirm two dozen of Obama’s stalled nominees to the federal bench and administration posts before their majority expires.

Several Republicans blamed tea party-backed Texas Sen. Ted Cruz for giving the outgoing majority party an opportunity to seek approval for

The vote was 56-40 in favor of the measure, which funds nearly the entire government through the Sept. 30 end of the fiscal year. presidential appointees, including some that are long-stalled.

It was Cruz who pushed the Senate to cast its first vote on the administration’s policy of suspending the threat of deportation for an estimated four million immigrants living in the country illegally.

He lost his attempt Saturday night, 74-22, although Republican leaders have vowed to bring the issue back after the party takes control of the Senate in January.

The spending bill, which cleared the House on Thursday, was the main item left on Congress’ year-end agenda, and exposed fissures within both political parties in both houses.

It faced opposition from Democrats upset about the repeal of a banking regu-

lation and Republicans unhappy that it failed to challenge Obama’s immigration moves.

The legislation locks in spending levels negotiated in recent years between Republicans and Democrats, and includes a number of provisions that reflect the priorities of one party or the other, from the environment to abortion to the legalization of marijuana in the District of Columbia.

One, which drew objections from the Democrats, would repeal a regulation imposed on banks in the wake of the near economic collapse of 2008. Critics called it a bailout for financial institutions, but more than 70 House Democrats voted for it previously, and Obama made clear he didn’t view it as a dealkiller.

Weapons in Lawrence schools: Mostly accidental, for showing off

In 2008, a Lawrence elementary school student got in trouble after discovering a discarded switchblade and taking it to school to show friends.

Kansas law identifies a switchblade as a weapon,

and taking a weapon to school automatically puts a yearlong expulsion on the table. But because of the circumstances — no incident occurred, the pupil was young, no ill intent was

Kansas City, Mo. — Kansas University’s basketball players saw a 21-point lead vanish and actually turn into a two-point deficit late in Saturday’s nonconference clash against Utah before a shellshocked crowd of 17,627 fans in Sprint Center.

Mariota wings his way to Heisman

LAWRENCE HIGH WEST MONDAY

SOUTH

New York (ap) — Marcus Mariota, the prototypical 21stcentury quarterback, took an old-fashioned approach to become Oregon’s first Heisman Trophy winner.

The Ducks’ understated star won the Heisman on Saturday night going away, capping a three-year climb to college football’s most prestigious individual award.

“I’m humbled to be standing here today,” Mariota said, reading an acceptance speech he had a hard time getting through without choking up.

A pinpoint passer with widereceiver speed, Mariota came into his junior season as the favorite to win the 80th Heisman and delivered a performance that turned the presentation ceremony at a theater in Times Square into a foregone conclusion.

Mariota received twice as many points as second-place finisher Melvin Gordon, the record-breaking running back

K.C. seeks turnaround vs. Raiders Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Three weeks ago, the Kansas City Chiefs were charging toward the top of the AFC West.

They had as much momentum as anybody in the league, winners of five straight.

They had just beaten the defending Super Bowl champion Seahawks.

They also had barely heard of Latavius Murray.

Everything changed over four quarters in Oakland, though. The Chiefs struggled through the rain against a team that had lost 16 straight. Murray needed only four carries to run for 112 yards and two scores before leaving with a concussion.

And the Raiders squeaked out a 24-20 win that started Kansas City (7-6) on a disastrous three-game skid.

Now, the Chiefs are in playoff peril as they prepare to face the Raiders (2-11) on Sunday.

In much the same way their season did an about-face with their first meeting, the Chiefs hope to turn things around when the longtime rivals meet again at Arrowhead Stadium.

“We still got a chance,” Chiefs defensive tackle Dontari Poe said. “Long as we got that and we’re trying to push, we’re going to keep moving. There’s never any pointing fingers.”

Maybe that’s because there are more places to point than fingers to do the pointing.

Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith has been sacked 11 times in two games. Kansas City still does not have a touchdown catch from a wide receiver.

Lions take Blue Valley Shootout title

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Stilwell â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Lawrence Highâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boys basketball team usually leans on star guards Anthony Bonner, Justin Roberts and John Barbee in big games.

But 50 fouls were called in the Blue Valley Shootout championship game Saturday, and nobody was immune to the officialsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; whistles.

That meant the LHS stars needed to rely on their teammates off the bench to fill their absence.

The Lionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bench stepped up and rose to the occasion, giving LHS an eight-point cushion heading into the fourth quarter, which was enough to hold off Blue Valley for a 63-60 victory at Blue Valley High. It was Lawrenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first championship in the eight-team tournament since 2005.

At the end of the first half, the Lions (4-0) didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any starters on the court because four of them had at least two fouls. Instead, seniors Anthony Harvey, Tae Shorter, Logan Applegate and Kyle Hoffman, and sophomore Jackson Mallory were making the defensive stops. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eleven players won that game for us tonight,â&#x20AC;?

LHS coach Mike Lewis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an 11-man trophy. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really proud of those guys who came in. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss a beat, and we probably played better with those guys in, honestly. Our top guys were a little tight, a little edgy.â&#x20AC;?

After a boost from the Lionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bench, the stars stepped back into the spotlight in the second half.

Utes proud of second-half comeback

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Kansas City, Mo. — His team trailed by 18 at halftime, 21 early in the second half and gave up a two-point lead late. Yet there Utah coach Larry Krystkowiak sat, opening his postgame meeting with the media following Saturday’s 63-60 loss to Kansas University with the word “proud” being one of the first to come out of his mouth.

“It’s hard for me to sit up here and be as disappointed as I would be if

it was a first-half game,” Krystkowiak said, “because our guys bounced back. It was a heck of a second half. I just wish we had one or two of those plays back.”

After battling the 10thranked Jayhawks (8-1) toe-to-toe for the first eight minutes of Saturday’s showdown between one-loss teams at Sprint Center, the 13th-ranked Utes (7-2) watched with amazement as a 17-16 lead turned into a 39-19 deficit during the final 10 minutes of the first half.

Krystkowiak lamented

his team’s effort, energy and intensity during the first 20 minutes and said talk of improving all three areas dominated the locker room at halftime. That improvement came in bunches, and the Utes eventually took a 55-53 lead with 4:36 to play. But it was a single play late in the first half that spring-boarded the surge.

With the first-half clock winding down, Utah senior Delon Wright delivered a moment that demonstrated exactly what Krystkowiak hoped

to see after the break.

After crossing his man over at the top of the key, Wright drove hard to the rim, cocked his arm back and flushed a nasty, onehanded dunk over two Jayhawks who challenged the shot. The bucket only counted for two points, and Kansas still led, 3921, but Krystkowiak and Wright said they thought the flush gave the Utes hope.

“Definitely,” Wright said. “I think the guys saw that I was ready to play, and they didn’t feel alone out there. My energy was

up, and the conversation at halftime was just to keep the energy up and take it four minutes at a time.”

Krystkowiak hardly seemed surprised that his star senior, who led all scorers with 23 points while adding five rebounds and four assists, was the one who set the tone for Utah’s comeback.

“He likes big games,” Krystkowiak said of his 6-foot-5 guard from Los Angeles. “And I think he rises to a different level for us when he’s in this

type of environment. He was the one guy that was ready to play from the beginning.”

Wright downplayed the dunk, partly because he expects to do that and also because the Utes lost.

But he shared his coach’s sentiments regarding the way his team responded to one of its worst halves of the season.

“It’s a loss,” he said.

“But we’re not gonna win every game. I’m proud that we fought back and didn’t lose by 20 or 40 or whatever and didn’t let it get out of hand.”

KU, which led, 42-21, with 19:49 left, actually trailed, 55-53, at 4:36.

“I will say this about our team ... we can screw up a good time about as well as anybody I’ve ever seen,” said Self, whose Jayhawks hit 60 percent of their first-half shots (five of eight from three) in threatening to run the Utes out of the building.

That didn’t happen, and, in fact, KU until the final minutes looked like a team about to blow the biggest lead in a loss in school history. KU squandered a 20-point lead in a 17-point loss to Arizona in 2003 in Allen Fieldhouse.

However, Frank Mason III (10 points, five assists, 36 minutes) hit two free throws to tie it at 55 with 2:46 left. Then Perry Ellis (14 points, six rebounds) spun through the lane and hit a floater at 1:52 to bust the tie and put KU ahead for good.

“We were doing a dribble weave and just trying to drive it, to see if there was an opening in the lane,” Ellis said. “It was open. I just drove it and shot a floater.”

He made something out of nothing.

“We didn’t have any offense,” Self said. “There’s really no lanes to drive.

We tried to get Jamari (Traylor, 13 points, five boards) and Brannen (Greene) out of the way and let those three guys (Mason, Ellis, Wayne Selden Jr.) drive it. It worked out perfectly in that particular situation.”

Traylor calmly iced two free throws at :39 to make it 59-55.

“Not nervous at all. I just get down there and do my routine and knock ’em down,” Traylor said on a day KU hit 21 of 23 free throws to Utah’s 14

Cue Greene.

He was sent to the line with :20.4 left and KU up, 59-58, following a Dakarai Tucker three. Greene, who scored 19 points in Wednesday’s win at Georgetown, made both free throws to give the Jayhawks a 61-58 advantage.

He returned to the line at :13.7 after a Utah layup, and again Greene made both, KU leading, 63-60.

“He’s a confident shooter. We wanted him at the line at that time,” Ellis said of Greene.

“He was great last game and made the free throws today to give us a chance to win the game,” Self added of the Juliette, Georgia, sophomore.

It still wasn’t over.

Utah’s 7-foot freshman, Jakob Poeltl (eight points,

11 boards), hoisted a potential game-tying three from the side that hit the side of the backboard and plopped safely into Traylor’s hands as the final horn sounded and dropped Utah of the Pac12 to 7-2 on the season.

“It worked out well.

We didn’t want to give up a three, but if you are going to give up a three, I guess Poeltl would be the one you would want to give it up to,” Self said.

“We actually did guard ’em pretty well the last three to four minutes.”

Aside from scaring the heck out of some fans who would have lit victory cigars early in the second half had smoking been allowed in Sprint Center, the Jayhawks accomplished what they set out to do — beat a tough Utah team.

“If you are going to blow a 21-point lead, yeah, I guess I like how we responded,” Self said of his team, which will meet La-

KU survived a 23-point performance from senior guard Delon Wright, who hit nine of 13 shots and five of seven free throws, with five rebounds and four assists in 39 minutes.

“He was the best player in the game by far,” Self said. “He has size. He has vision. He doesn’t shoot it great, but is very, very deceivingly explosive. He’ll play in the league. He’s a really nice player.”

Kansas’ Graham out at least four weeks Traylor said: “It’s never good when you are in that position. I made a mistake so I just wanted to come out and do better this time around. I wanted to impact the game the way I couldn’t last time.

That’s pretty much it. I had a really good game.

“We hope we can get him back. There’s no guarantee he’s going to come back, though. We’ll play it by ear and evaluate him again in four weeks,” Self said of Graham, who had his foot stepped on by 350-pound Joshua Smith with 10 minutes to play Wednesday.

KU could seek a medical red-shirt for Graham, and will likely do so, if in a month it is determined the healing is not satisfactory. No surgery is planned at this time.

“It’s a bad case of turf toe, a badly sprained big toe,” Self said. “He’s on his toes, and then you’ve got a 350-pound guy stepping on the back of his foot smashed under his big toe.

“It is unfortunate. I thought he was really coming and starting to get it. He’s going to be out a significant time.

The doctors feel he can come back but also say he may not come back. We’ll have to make a decision before the first half of the season is probably over so we can obviously utilize a medical red-shirt if we need to, but we’re not thinking like that.

“We’re thinking like, ‘Hey, let’s look at it in three to four weeks, get it re-evaluated.’ If he’s making positive progress, we can get him back out there. They say you can play on it, but he’s not near to the point that’s possible yet.”

Self said it’s the same injury that former Duke player Kyrie Irving had in his only season in college.

“He elected to have surgery. He had surgery Dec. 4 and played in the NCAA Tournament. This is different. You knew he’d be one-and-done,” Self said. “There’s no ex-

Traylor returns: Junior forward Jamari Traylor, who returned from a onegame suspension, had 13 points and five boards in 26 minutes. He was 5-for5 from the line.

“He got what he deserved,” Self said of sitting out following his arrest for interfering with duties of an officer at the scene of a fight. “On the flip side, he took a negative situation and didn’t pout, handled it like he’s supposed to handle it. I’m happy with ’Mari, proud of him. I thought he and Kelly Oubre (career-high nine points) were the two best players for us today, no question.”

This, that: KU extended its win streak to seven games, matching its longest streak of last season. ... KU is 8-1 for the second time in the last three seasons and the sixth time in Self’s 12 seasons. ... KU is 2-0 all-time vs. Utah. ...

KU is 25-5 at Sprint Center and 210-79 in games played in Kansas City. ...

KU’s 63 points tied for the second-fewest points scored in Sprint Center.

KU scored 60 points in a 61-60 loss to UMass on December 13, 2008 and scored 63 in a one-point victory over Oklahoma State in the Big 12 tournament on March 10, 2011. ... KU hit 60 percent of its first-half shots, 26.1 the second half. ... KU went 21-of-23 (91.3 percent) from the free-throw line, marking the squad’s best percentage this year. Over the last three games, KU has made 73 of 87 from the line for 83.9 percent. ... KU set season lows in: field-goal attempts (48), free-throw attempts (23), total rebounds (28), offensive rebounds (7) and defensive rebounds (21). ... KU went 8-for-8 from the line in the final five minutes. ...

Brannen Greene is 13-of13 from the line.

you throw it to him, and there’s no advantage.

And that wasn’t the case with the big guys we played with in the past.”

Landen Lucas lacks the explosiveness, strength and deception to his game that former Self centers featured, so look for the reserve minutes he has been given as a starter to dwindle greatly.

Complicating matters, Kansas started practice with three point guards.

Conner Frankamp quit and later transferred to Wichita State. Devonté Graham will miss anywhere from four weeks to the entire season because of a toe injury.

No potent low-post scoring threat and only one point guard. Frank

Mason played 36 minutes Saturday.

“We’ve got to do some things to try to create driving lanes and things like that, and we don’t have an unbelievable driving team, but Wayne (Selden) and Frank should be able to get in there a little bit better, and Kelly (Oubre), who was really good tonight, will be able to help us in that regard,” Self said.

Self shared unconventional thoughts that have run through his mind since the Graham news.

“Playing (Jamari Traylor) at the five, he’s always going to be quicker than any five man he has,” Self said. “I’ve even thought about making (Traylor) a back-up point.

I’m being dead serious.

Let him initiate offense, because nobody can pressure him because he can drive around anybody.

Not be the point guard who comes up and sets it up, but I’m talking about, hey, just bring it in transition. We’ve got to become a little bit more creative, because it’s going to totally wear Frank down if he has to do everything every possession.”

This team has more issues than most of Self’s, but playing its best basketball in the toughest spots is not one of them.

They consistently play with more confidence than the opponents when the outcome hangs in the balance.

As for the other 36 minutes, it’s anybody’s guess.

KANSAS GUARD DEVONTÉ GRAHAM WATCHES warmups with a boot on his right foot. act time frame on how long it takes to heal. It could be three weeks, four weeks, six weeks, seven weeks.”

Of the surgery option down the line, Self said: “Not yet, no. We’re hoping it heals. Doctors say there’s no guarantee on anything. They’re optimistic we’ll learn more in three or four weeks.”

Self said walk-on Evan Manning could be used at the point to go with Wayne Selden and even Jamari Traylor in some situations.

“I meant to play him today,” Self said of Manning. “But when we’re playing well, don’t sub; playing badly, you can’t put him in that situation.

We’ve got to have a ballmover back there.” l

Roster in flux: The availability of players has become a concern for coach Bill Self. “We had one guy quit (Conner Frankamp to Wichita State). We had obviously another guy injured (Graham). It kind of changes the dynamic of your team.

I’m proud of Kelly (Oubre, Jr., nine points). He’s hung in there and kept a really good attitude. He’s going to be real good. You can see it.” l

e are living in the age of DIY, says Lawrence artist Sarah McCormick.

In a time when the many uses of a Mason jar can draw as much excitement from folks — especially the hip, young ones — as the newest iPhone, a handful of local artists are finding a market for handmade greeting cards.

cheaply made, and you don’t know who your money’s going to.”

McCormick and fellow Lawrence artists Leslie Kuluva and Grace Chin are among those selling homespun cards this holiday season at Lawrence’s Wonder Fair, 803 Massachusetts St. Customers can pick up one of their creations for $5 each — an average price point for handmade cards, says store owner Meredith Moore.

With Christmas and Hanukkah on the horizon, the simple gesture of sending a card to loved ones is an easy

“It pays off if you do it right, because the stamp looks good,” she says. “And they’re totally unique. I doubt you could find a ‘Tremors’ stamp of a Graboid (giant man-eating worm) anywhere, but if you can make it, then you can have it.”

‘Bring the cozy’ For Grace Chin, cardmaking is “just something you do.”

It was a rule passed down by her mother, an art professor at Tabor College, early in life.

“Whenever I’d go to birthday parties, she’d be like, ‘Let’s do something personal. Why don’t we draw a card for your friend and write something?’” Chin recalls.

“And I think that’s something that’s stuck with me since I’ve been a kid.”

A printmaker by trade, Chin started selling her cards about two years ago. At first she reproduced her cards manually, but now employs a “mix of handmade and mechanized processes.”

She designs her cards at home on a computer, tucked away in her bedroom.

“Right now it’s a mess,” jokes Chin, who also works as an assistant manager at The Toy Store and as a shop manager at Wonder Fair. “The holidays have wreaked havoc on it.”

The space also doubles as a drawing-and-painting studio. Chin sells her cards, as well as her handmade crepe-paper flowers, in her Etsy shop.

Her cards often evoke the work of children’s book illustrator Gyo Fujikawa and Henry Darger, an “outsider artist” who produced hundreds of watercolor paintings that often depicted idyllic scenes of flowers and fantastical creatures as well as more sinister images of children being tortured and killed.

Still, Chin says she likes to go with “things that are pretty sweet.” Her favorite card incorporates different sweater patterns with text that reads, “We bring the cozy.”

“I just thought that was such a nice sentiment,” she says. “During the holidays, there’s just something nice about the cold weather and how it makes you want to stay inside and be with people and be snuggly.”

money that only certain people could afford, or would only be exposed to them in some gallery,” Kuluva says. “I wanted to make stuff that anybody could afford.”

Accessibility fuels Kuluva’s business approach. She started making Hanukkah cards after noticing how few were available in the Lawrence market.

They’ve since proven to be some of her bestsellers, she says.

“I think when people see them, they’re like, ‘Oh yeah, Hanukkah cards — I know a couple people who I’d want to send them to,’” says Kuluva, who is Jewish. “It helps remind them, maybe.”

This year’s offering features a four-color print of a menorah with lit candles. She also sells a Christmas card that depicts a two-color Christmas tree sprinkled with snow.

A “sentimental person” by nature, Kuluva often mixes hard and soft in her cards.

“There’s a lot of hearts and little kids and kitty cats, but it still has a punk-rock feel to the whole thing,” Kuluva says of her work.

She’s been selling her cards through the LOLA (Ladies of Lawrence Artwork) craft guild since 2006. Interacting with customers face-to-face is her favorite aspect of

the job.

“I sell things at a couple places in town, but selling them in person at these craft shows is pretty rewarding, to see people get excited about my stuff,” Kuluva says. “I like when people smile.”

Gabrielle Union, left, and Chris Rock in “Top Five”

Hype drags down Rock’s ‘Top Five’ SCENE H STEALERS ype is a dangerous thing.

It’s a doubleedged sword, because any movie studio publicist will agree that buzz helps get people in the theater, but then high expectations from an audience can sink a mediocre film. That’s exactly what happened when I saw Chris Rock’s “Top Five,” which started a bidding war after its Toronto Film Festival premiere this September.

To make matters worse, all the interviews and TV appearances Rock’s been doing to promote the movie (especially the editorial he penned in The Hollywood Reporter) are far more cutting and incisive than anything in “Top Five.” Rock has always been a fearless social critic, so it’s a real disappointment that his movie is so toothless.

Jumping off from what he knows best, Rock plays Andre Allen, a former stand-up comedian. After years of struggling on the circuit, Andre is now an A-list movie star, best known for a string of lowbrow buddy-cop action movies in which he wears an actual bear suit and cracks wise (think Donkey from “Shrek,” only liveaction and completely nonsensical).

His new movie — set during the bloody slave revolt of the Haitian revolution — is his attempt at “going serious,” only it looks equally ridiculous, and therein lies the problem. No sane person would ever think this is a good idea, and the film doesn’t have a straightup satirical tone, like his admittedly spotty but occasionally hilarious “CB4.”

No, “Top Five” tries to develop sincere characters and situations out of the flimsiest of clichés.

Andre spends one long press day with New York Times reporter Chelsea Brown (Rosario Dawson), who, like Andre, is a recovering alcoholic. She gets him to admit things he’s never told anyone, so the story continues to flash back to key scenes from Andre’s past.

Here, as a screenwriter, Rock falls in the trap of thinking that dirtier material equals adult material, which he proves isn’t the case. His “rock bottom” flashback in particular is more embarrassing for Rock the writer than it is for Andre the actor.

Rock is one of the premier stand-up comedians working today, so it’s no wonder that the funniest scenes in the film sound like stand-up bits turned into conversation.

He has a couple of very funny rants while talking to Dawson. One scene has him actually delivering an “impromptu” standup set, and in another, he riffs with past and present “Saturday Night Live” cast members — and for

When “Top Five” feels loose and lived-in, it starts clicking into place. But when it pushes its characters toward unearned saccharine, it feels as fake as the industry it’s supposed to be satirizing.

ERIC MELIN

eric@scene-stealers.com once, the movie takes on a believable tone.

But then it’s right back to lazy plot devices, with a really dumb late-game revelation about Chelsea and the culmination of her already forced Cinderella obsession.

(I’ll bet you can’t guess where that’s headed.)

As an actor, Rock is rarely convincing. Sure, he works as a standup comic, but I never once believed he was a recovering addict being tested to the hilt on one very stressful and eventful day. And if the jokes were faster and more furious, perhaps I wouldn’t have time so care so much about such unimportant stuff.

Based on the things that work well in “Top Five,” perhaps Rock should take a page out of Christopher Guest’s book and write outlines rather than screenplays, meant to be filled in by talented actors who can improvise. From looking at the cameos in the movie (also a mixed bag), he certainly has enough friends.

Pride Thursday morning, one of the biggest surprise nominations at the Golden Globes was the announcement of “Pride,” up for the category of best picture — comedy or musical.

Showing now at Liberty Hall, this U.K. indie crowd-pleaser is based on the true story of gay and lesbian activists in the mid-1980s who formed an unlikely alliance with Britain’s National Union of Mineworkers.

Despite a good showing at both the Cannes and Toronto Film Festival earlier this year, promotional efforts for the movie have been mild from distributor CBS Films.

Actors Bill Nighy, Imelda Staunton, Dominic West, and Paddy Considine aren’t necessarily big-ticket names, but they are certainly well-known and respected among the industry, so maybe this nomination will be what pushes “Pride” into the awards conversation during this crowded time of year.

henever someone proposes a one-word group activity like trivia, Twister or karaoke, I instantly start refreshing my mental list of excuses. But if I find myself in an agreeable mood and decide to take part, I usually have a great time (except in the case of Twister — that never ends well).

When it comes to karaoke, Westport’s new OffKeyKC, 510 Westport Road, is an excellent option for would-be pop stars and bachelor party celebrants to let loose, test their vocal ranges and host their own private concerts.

OffKey offers five private karaoke suites, starting at $30 an hour for small groups up to six people, $40 an hour for groups up to 10, and $50 for groups of 11 or more, with a two-hour minimum.

With their darkness, disco ball lighting effects and powerful sound systems, the private suites feel uniquely designed to eliminate shyness. You’ll find yourself singing with the same abandon you would at home in the shower or while practicing rock star poses in the mirror.

Those who find that the two hours go by too quickly can either extend their time (barring existing reservations) or head out to the main bar area, where the microphone gets passed around among bartenders and other guests.

OffKey’s food and bottle service is provided

by Local Pig Westport, the full-service restau-

There’s a book for every cat lover this season, whether grumpy or nice

By Sue Manning Associated Press

Los Angeles — The felines are fighting back — on the bookshelf.

Cats outnumber dogs in the U.S., but in bookstores, dog titles reign, the American Pet Products Association says.

Fans insist felines are getting more popular as they ride the coattails of Internet sensations like Grumpy Cat, Lil Bub and Nora, the piano-playing cat.

For the cat lovers on your holiday list, several books challenge the notion that pooches get more play. Here are four gift-worthy books where cats shine: l “A Letter To My Cat” Actress Rosanna Arquette, model Kathy Ireland and animal behaviorist Jackson Galaxy of “My Cat From Hell” are among the celebrities who pen love notes to their cats in this collection.

Dr. Betsy Kennon of Pittsburgh also contributes the story of Scooter, who was almost killed by a car but now brings joy to people also dealing with disabilities.

“The kitten was never going to walk,” Kennon said. “I can’t tell you why I didn’t put him to sleep.”

As the cat struggled to pull himself along, one of Kennon’s workers stuck a plastic bowl under his rump to help smooth the way. The cat became known as Scooter, and

GRUMPY CAT, WHO ROSE TO FAME AS AN INTERNET MEME and owes her permanent frown to a medical condition, is featured in the book “The Grumpy Guide to Life” and recently starred in her own Christmas special on Lifetime. the bowl gave way to a kitty wheelchair.

In the six years since, Kennon and Scooter have visited thousands of patients at hospitals and nursing homes.

“For him, it’s not a handicap,” Kennon said.

“This is the way life is and people take inspiration from him.” l “The Grumpy Guide To Life” Leading the pack of popular cat books is one from down-in-the-dumps Grumpy Cat — “The Grumpy Guide to Life.”

The kitty celebrity, whose permanent downturned expression is caused by a medical condition, has another book, wrapped a TV movie called “Grumpy Cat’s Worst Christmas Ever” and has her sad mug plastered on magnets, T-shirts, calendars and a host of other products.

The latest book is full of Grumpy insight such as: “People are like balls of yarn. For the most part, they’re boring and useless, but I still get a lot of pleasure out of watching

them unravel.” l “67 Reasons Why Cats Are Better Than Dogs” With a few good reasons and dozens of wacky ones, this book supposedly explains why cats are better than dogs. For example, did you know cats are better companions, surfers and chess players?

Arguments are often deliberately outrageous or puzzling. Take surfing: Pictures show a dog on a longboard and a cat on a keyboard, showing both “surfing.”

Author Jack Shepherd of BuzzFeed also claims cats are faster, smarter and take the best selfportraits.

But Shepherd also keeps it real, telling readers to get a dog if they want slavish devotion. Cat love is genuine, he says, because it’s 10 percent devotion and 90 percent frustration and betrayal.

“So what if they break your heart every now and then? That’s how love is supposed to feel,” Shepherd writes.

A few assertions might ring true to a cat lover, but the book hardly solves the age-old pet debate. l “Chicken Soup For The Soul: The Cat Did What?”

The leader in heartwarming stories rounds up 101 anecdotes from cat owners.

Contributor Jan Bono writes that a veterinarian told her it’s normal for cats to eat plastic but most will quickly grow out of it. After a year and a half, Bono is still waiting.

Sandwich bags, plastic wrap, fake Easter grass, toothbrushes, combs — if any part of it is made of plastic, her cat Simon will munch on much of it.

The book was published in tandem with “The Dog Did What?” and highlights Chicken Soup for the Soul’s work with animals, including donating its brand of dog food to shelters and rescues, publisher and author Amy Newmark said.

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Partner’s suspicious behavior may lead to split Dear Annie: I am in a 14-month-old relationship that is rapidly falling apart. I consider this relationship serious. ‘’Clara” is in her early 60s and several years younger than I am. After the first three months, we began discussing marriage. We talk on the phone every day and see each other twice a week.

We don’t have sex, but we sometimes sleep in the same bed.

The problem is, Clara periodically runs errands for her former employer. He often takes her out for lunch, and she never tells me when this happens. I’ve told her this makes me uncomfortable, but she says she needs the money. Clara never dresses up when we go out. But a month ago, she arrived at my house in high heels and fishnet stockings. When I

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

anniesmailbox@comcast.net

asked why she was so dressed up, she said she had been to the doctor and wanted to make a good impression.

Who dresses like that to see a doctor? What do you think? — Not Entirely Sure Dear Not Sure: We think Clara isn’t ready for the relationship you want. Her behavior indicates that she isn’t fully committed to you. She doesn’t feel you are entitled to know where she is, when she’ll return or

Contentious cop on ID stirs outrage The documentary-intensive ID Network, formerly known as Investigation Discovery and Discovery Times, will air “The Joe Show” (4 p.m.), a two-hour profile of Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

This publicity-seeking lawman is considered heroic by some and sadistic and dangerous by others.

Arpaio’s extreme rhetoric about immigration and law enforcement has received no shortage of attention. He has forced jailed prisoners to wear pink underwear and has fed them garbage, all in the knowledge that his “tough” actions appeal to a certain crowd.

Lost in his hot air is the fact that most of the people in Arpaio’s custody are still awaiting trial. In the eyes of the law, they’re innocent. But he knows it’s popular to humiliate them.

Arpaio is well aware of his message and his audience. He speaks in this documentary about his admiration for screen cowboys (all of them fictional) who rode out into the desert to get the bad guy and string him up before they got back to town. To one group, that’s John Wayne justice. To others, it’s the logic of the lynch mob.

Arpaio isn’t the only notable character to harvest the grapes of wrath and receive TV exposure. You would think that Ted Nugent’s comments about Barack Obama being a “chimpanzee” and his threats to use assault weapons on the president and Hillary Clinton would keep broadcasters from giving him his own TV show.

And you’d be right. He’s had not one, but two: “Surviving Nugent” and “Forever Wild.”

Donald Trump has spent the last several years trolling for bigots with absurd remarks about the president’s birth certificate. His reward? “Celebrity Apprentice” returns to NBC on Jan. 5.

The opinions spouted by these publicity-seeking bigots are hardly new. But we now inhabit a media environment when these vulgar overtures are not merely tolerated but championed by large corporations.

After all, who do you think is “sponsoring” these freaks?

who she is with. These are perfectly OK behaviors for someone who is unattached, but we assume that isn’t what you are looking for. You don’t need a partner who makes you feel insecure and suspicious. We suggest you cut Clara loose or make it an open relationship where you each see others.

Dear Annie: My husband is a minister and is frequently called on to do funerals and weddings. Funerals often take up two days, including a night of visitation at the funeral home, as well as the actual service the next day. Weddings take up just as much time with rehearsals, ceremonies, receptions and photographs.

Too many times, my husband is not paid for these services. The funeral home gets paid, as do the people coor-

dinating the weddings.

Why is it OK not to compensate the pastor?

The practice in our town is not to set fees, so my husband is at the mercy of whatever a person chooses to give.

Please print this so people will be aware of the way to thank a pastor for his services. — Pastor’s Wife Dear Wife: Whenever payment is optional, some people will choose not to pay. If your husband has an assistant, that person can tell folks that a fee for a funeral or wedding ranges from Price A to Price B, depending on what they choose to give. But, yes, people should offer to pay the officiant, no matter who it is.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

jacquelinebigar.com

For Sunday, Dec. 14: This year you express interest in travel and other cultures. You are likely to take frequent trips out of town. If you are single, you could meet someone from out of the blue, like at the bank. Be open to new people who might not be your usual type. If you are attached, the two of you will see your life quite differently. Respect your differences, and try out new ways of compromising. You will become best friends as well as lovers.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) Use the morning to make calls to loved ones whom you normally don’t get to chat with. Tonight: All smiles.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Not everyone is as upbeat as you are. Your joyful outlook could sink in an interaction. Tonight: Get a head start on tomorrow.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You can try to hide out at home, but you are not likely to be able to maintain that low profile. Tonight: Enjoy the moment.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You might want to catch up and brainstorm about holiday shopping. Tonight: Make it early.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Funds continue to be a predominant theme. Make sure

your wallet can go the whole way.

Tonight: Dinner and a discussion.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your intuition will help you with a parent, roommate and/or loved one. Tonight: Go for a little indulgence.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Look back before you take off in a new direction. Tonight: All smiles.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Zero in on what you want today, as you could have a limited amount of free time.

Tonight: Make it early.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Pressure builds around a responsibility, and you might not see a way out. Tonight: Find your friends.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Reach out to someone at a distance. You two can discuss nearly anything. Tonight: Avoid being controlling.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Be realistic when making decisions; otherwise, you could be disappointed. Tonight: Dinner, great music and a good time.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) A friend means a lot to you, and vice versa. Talk about how you feel. Tonight: A cozy dinner with a special person.
