ehold the beauty of the bow.

Clearly there is nothing more important to properly wrapping a Christmas present than a bow.

In fact, the bow is the centerpiece of my elaborate Christmas wrapping strategy.

If you find out that you are a little short on paper, put a bow over the bare spot.

If you created a tiny tear in the wrapping paper, put a bow over the blemish.

If you, perhaps, stabbed the package a couple dozen times with a pair of scissors in a fit of Scotch tape-induced rage, put some bows on it. I have given many a gift so beautiful that it has included seven or eight bows.

That’s just one of the many great wrapping ideas I have to offer. A big one falls under the category of what not to do. As tempting as it is to take sharp scissors in hand and cut your wrapping paper by spreading it out on the living room floor, don’t do it. Explaining why there are so many bows attached to the carpet can be tricky.

Despite my clearly firm handle on the art of gift-wrapping, it still was suggested that I spend a little time with the professional gift wrappers at Weaver’s department store in downtown Lawrence. A wrapper at the complimentary

How do tornadoes form? Drones might answer

By Dan Elliott Associated Press

Denver — Researchers say they have collected promising weather data by flying instrument-laden drones into big Western and Midwestern storms. Now, they want to expand the project in hopes of learning more about how tor-

nadoes form.

Drones can penetrate parts of weather systems that other instruments can’t reach, and they can do it at less cost and with less danger than piloted planes, the scientists say.

appointed by the board of the neighborhood association. In addition, the association is asking to be made a “full partner” in the project, which would include the design of the project being subject to the approval of the association’s board before it is presented to the City Commission for approval.

“That is not a partnership but is basically creating an authoritarian government,” City Commissioner Mike Dever said of the proposal, which he said equated to veto power for the neighborhood association. “I’m trying not to get angry about this.”

The proposal also drew concerns from Mayor Mike Amyx and City Commissioner Jeremy Farmer during a meeting last week. Farmer particularly said he was becoming frustrated with the association, which has expressed a number of concerns that the neighborhood’s voice isn’t being adequately considered in the planning for the arts corridor. Officials with the city and the Lawrence Arts Center have said the design process hasn’t yet begun and that East Lawrence and other stakeholders will be a major part of the process.

Farmer said he doesn’t want to give increased power to the association, in part, because “it continues to oppose everything that comes before us.”

Farmer also brought up concerns that the East Lawrence Neighborhood Association is not very representative of the actual residents of East Lawrence. Commissioners have been getting some emails about that concern from residents, and Farmer said he picked

up on the theme when he walked the neighborhood during last year’s debate about whether to allow a multistory hotel to be built at Ninth and New Hampshire streets, which drew opposition from the neighborhood association.

“We heard everybody in East Lawrence was against that project, and it turned out that it was about four people who were against it,” Farmer said.

Aaron Paden, president of the East Lawrence Neighborhood Association board, said Farmer’s comments were off base.

He noted that just within the last few weeks the association had hosted meetings that had attracted nearly 100 people to talk about the arts corridor.

“We have done an excellent job of creating healthy dialogue, but it does happen to be a contentious issue,” Paden said.

Paden said there’s a significant number of residents who are concerned the arts corridor will “incentivize investments that will remove the character of the neighborhood.”

The project is still in its early stages, but the concept calls for a remaking of Ninth Street east of New Hampshire into a more pedestrian-friendly corridor that can house public art and performances.

Paden said he also thought city commissioners were misreading the association’s proposal as a “list of demands” rather than the starting point of a negotiation. Paden said the group would like to have a paid representative on the design team because that would be a good way to ensure that the design team takes into account the unique attributes of the neighborhood.

City Commissioners Terry Riordan and Bob Schumm said they were open to that idea but want to hear more de-

tails about the role of the representatives and how they would be chosen.

“It would need to be very well defined, though,” Riordan said.

“We would have to be careful because we would be setting precedent.”

Paden acknowledged the idea of a paid neighborhood representative on a design team for a city project would be new. But he said this is the type of project to try such new ideas. The project is partially funded by a grant from ArtPlace America. Paden said he believes those grants encourage communities to look at alternative ways to gather input on projects.

“This isn’t just about how to put in an art project,” Paden said. “It is about how to build a team that makes a better place. We’re just making some suggestions on how to do that.”

Amyx told neighborhood leaders that he hopes tensions between the neighborhood, the Arts Center and others will soon subside. Otherwise, he said he’ll have to rethink his support for the project.

“This is something that I thought would be so good for East Lawrence, but now I’m having a hard time staying in the game,” Amyx said.

The ArtsPlace grant is expected to pay for about $500,000 of the project, but ultimately the city will need to come up with about $3 million to rebuild the street. Commissioners may be asked for that funding during budget sessions next summer.

They are expected to take action on forming a design team in the next several weeks.

45 march to oppose Kansas hunter police violence kills rare elk Topeka — About 45 people have marched through part of downtown Topeka to protest police violence.

The Topeka CapitalJournal reports that the march began and ended Saturday just south of the Kansas Statehouse.

Marchers chanted “No justice, no peace, no racist police.”

Almost all carried signs, with some bearing the names of AfricanAmericans killed by police officers.

Occasionally, passing motorists honked their horns in a show of support for the marchers.

The event was Topeka’s second tied to the police-related killings of Eric Garner, in Staten Island, N.Y., and Michael Brown, in Ferguson, Mo. At least 80 people attended a Dec. 5 vigil at Washburn University’s Kuehne bell tower.

Emporia — Hunter Brenda Doudican had to do a double take this month when she saw a bull elk wandering through a Lyon County clearing with deer.

The Emporia Gazette reported that the spotting led Doudican to obtain a permit on Dec. 12 to hunt elk, which are unusual in the area.

She didn’t catch a glimpse of the elk that night, but the next morning she got a clear shot.

She then completed the paperwork needed to have the animal processed. Doudican says she’s “still kind of in awe.”

Doudican began hunting with muzzle loader season. She continued with bow season and then followed with rifle season. She says she spent a great deal of time waiting and now feels it was worth it.

Oil-price drop rattles smaller operators

By Brian Burnes The Kansas City Star

By Roxana Hegeman Associated Press

Wichita — When crude prices were high, Kansas oilman Robert Murdock made plans to drill 20 new wells next year. Not anymore.

Murdock, president of Hutchinson-based Osage Resources, said that when oil prices dipped below $60 a barrel this month, “it changes your thinking as far as putting money into the ground.” So far, he’s scaled down his drilling plans for new wells at least by half.

“If prices continue to decrease, we may not drill any next year,” Murdock said. It costs between $2 million and $3 million to drill a horizontal well a mile deep with a lateral of a mile, he said.

Plunging crude prices are hitting oil producers especially hard in places like Kansas, where the industry is dominated by smaller, independent operators who depend more heavily on the cash flow from producing wells to pay for drilling new ones.

The growth in new drilling across the country will almost certainly slow, analysts say, as drillers avoid rock that is either not very well understood or known to be not very prolific.

When oil prices are high, that drilling can be profitable, but at low prices

Children decorated Christmas-themed photo frames with red, green and gold stickers and ate cookies in the craft room of the Lawrence Indoor Aquatic Center while they waited for the arrival of Santa Claus on Saturday afternoon.

As the children finished their crafts, the question, “When is Santa coming?”

Barefoot and wearing swim trunks and a Hawaiian shirt, Santa entered the room giving out high-fives and hugs before posing for photos.

Later, he joined the children in the pool, going down the water slide and even attempting to cross the floatie lily pads.

Lawrence — Ricky Hernandez made his Kansas University debut as a stand-up comedian recently — in his wheelchair.

It didn’t start well. At first he couldn’t find the dormitory buddy who’d been helping with his routine. Then Hernandez, who’d been diagnosed with cerebral palsy as an infant, discovered that his cellphone had died.

He couldn’t call his buddy to see where he was.

And the student union recharging station didn’t have a cord that fit his phone, The Kansas City Star reported.

Brownback nominates Mosier to lead KDHE Topeka (ap) — The interim director of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment has been nominated to take the job permanently.

The governor’s Mosier office announced Friday that Brownback wants Dr. Susan Mosier for the job. Mosier took over for Dr. Robert Moser, who resigned Nov. 30 to pursue opportunities at the Kansas University Hospital and Kansas University Medical School.

Gov. Brownback praised Mosier in a news release for her “experience, passion and leadership.” Her appointment will require Kansas Senate confirmation.

Mosier has been director of the Division of Health Care Finance since August and KDHE Medicaid Director since March 2012. She had previously owned Mosier Eye Care in Manhattan and served in the Kansas House from 2011 until she resigned in March 2012.

that drilling is either too risky or unprofitable.

That is particularly true in Kansas, where the vast majority of oil wells are stripper wells — typically low-producing wells that yield about 10 barrels or less per day.

Most of the big oil firms that rushed into Kansas in 2011 and 2012 to drill horizontal wells from the same Mississippian Lime formation that had spawned an oil boom in neighboring Oklahoma

had already left last year after exploratory drilling proved disappointing. The state’s remaining independents, with their lower operating costs and lower-producing wells, still flourished when crude prices were high.

But if oil prices remain low, those smaller independents are expected to sharply curtail new operations.

“It is causing many companies to re-evaluate many drilling plans,” said Ed Cross, executive director of the Kansas Independent Oil and Gas Association.

Already, the number of rigs drilling oil onshore

across the country has started to fall, according to weekly data from the drilling services company Baker Hughes, though the number remains far higher than last year at this time. The number of U.S. oil rigs fell by 29 to 1,546 for the week ending Dec. 12. It is the largest decline in two years, but the level is still 135 higher than last year at the same time.

In Kansas, the full impact to the industry may not be clear until after the first quarter of next year, in part because drilling activity normally slows each year in November and December anyway, Cross said.

Eric Marley, social worker, Olathe “It sounds like a good idea. A lot of cities have stuff like that, and it attracts a lot of people.”

Kansas sees most political ads for state races from secretive groups

By Philip Elliott Associated Press

Washington — Shadowy outside groups broadcast an estimated $25 million worth of political ads on local TV stations with a goal of shaping state-level elections this year, with Kansas leading the way with 34,000 ads through election day on Nov. 4.

Of those ads, 11,328 were from nonprofits whose finances can be shielded for years, if not forever.

One of the most prominent outside nonprofits in Kansas was the Alliance for a Free Society. The group incorporated in Delaware in July, meaning its tax disclosures will not be available until 2015 or later. And there’s no telling whether those documents will include the patrons or a list of other similarly vaguely named groups.

As for the rest of the groups, their full roster

psychology. Since August, he has been one of almost 28,000 students on the Lawrence campus, doing his best to participate in mainstream collegiate life, including trying out a comedy routine during a recent open mic night.

Hernandez says he’s pleased at being able to attend classes at Kansas and have his own dormitory room, where he dresses and prepares meals with the help of paid assistants.

of donors is unlikely to ever be known, according to an analysis released Wednesday.

While the $25 million is a small slice of the $850 million spent on ads in statewide races, the amount is still almost twice what outside groups shelled out during the last midterm elections in 2010. The Center for Public Integrity analysis also showed that the secretive outside groups were quite successful, exceeding the victory rates of groups that disclose their donors.

Overall, mysterious groups ran twice as many ads as they did in 2010, the first election after Supreme Court cleared the way for the ultra-rich, corporations and unions to quietly bankroll campaigns through anonymous groups that form and disperse without any meaningful disclosure. As a part of the total advertising landscape, roughly 40 outside groups doubled their share of all advertis-

ing in state races.

Nationally, those groups got their desired outcome in 63 percent of the races where they ran ads. All independent groups, including those that disclose donors, prevailed less than 50 percent of the time when they ran ads. The overall victory rate for advertisers — candidates and super PACs that disclose their donors, as well as secretive outside groups that do not — was 51 percent, according to the Center for Public Integrity’s analysis.

The nonpartisan Center for Public Integrity reviewed data about political advertising on national cable and broadcast television in all of the country’s 210 media markets. The organization used research from Kantar Media/CMAG, which tracks political advertising and offers a widely accepted estimate of the money spent to air each spot.

up I never spent the night at a friend’s house,” he said recently. “Now I’m on my own at college.”

That has been a trend on college campuses, where schools are devoting resources to helping students with disabilities.

Still, Hernandez’s collegiate life includes daily personal challenges that most of his fellow students never have to consider. Oversights, such as failing to maintain a sufficient charge on his cellphone or electric wheelchair, can throw an entire day’s schedule into peril.

As he cannot take notes in a classroom, the university pays student aides

to serve as scribes. But inside a classroom, Hernandez must earn his grades in the same way his classmates do.

“Our mission here is to create access for Ricky,” said Jaclyn Anderson, assistant director of the university’s Academic Achievement and Access Center. “But we cannot alter the fundamental nature of a course.

Today, Hernandez and the more than 800 students registered this semester with the university’s access center benefit from a spirit of inclusion that has developed on college campuses over many decades.

LAWRENCE

.

L awrence J ournal -W orld

A local option budget represents funding that is raised by local property taxes for school districts.

The size of a district’s local option budget can be no larger than 33 percent (the maximum was 31 percent until a year ago) of its general operating fund, which in Lawrence’s case is about $72.2 million.

The election over the local option budget stems from a new law the Legislature passed in response to a Kansas Supreme Court ruling. The law changed how state funding for schools is calculated. The biggest blow to Lawrence, Doll explained, is that students enrolled in virtual schools would no longer count toward a district’s official enrollment.

That and other factors resulted in an about $1.8

million loss in funding for the Lawrence district.

However, the state then created a path for districts across the state to recoup at least some of those lost funds. It allowed districts, for one year only, to raise their local option budgets from 31 percent to 33 percent by vote of their school boards. In September, the Lawrence school board did just that, effectively recouping $1.4 million without raising the mill levy.

But if a district wants to keep its local option budget at 33 percent beyond year one — in Lawrence’s case, retaining that $1.4 million every year — it needs the approval of registered voters living within the district. And it must be done by mail, at least 90 days before or after any

other elections on the calendar.

So here Lawrence is, along with Olathe, Shawnee Mission, De Soto and other districts putting the issue up to voters at virtually the same time.

At a cost of $100,000, the Lawrence district will mail the ballots to registered voters Jan. 7. Using a postage-paid envelope that’s included, voters must return, not postmark, their ballots to the clerk’s office by none Jan. 27.

Anyone living within the district boundary who is not registered to vote must do so by Jan. 6 to participate.

To get voters ready, Doll and other district officials are doing all they can to spread the word.

Doll expects to make about 40 public appear-

ances, at school site councils and other community groups, to explain the election. The district is preparing to mail voters information on the election days before the ballots are released. And the district’s automated phone and email system is at the ready for additional reminders.

Although the issue at hand is only about maintaining the local option budget at its current level, with no tax increase in play, officials have cautioned themselves from thinking the election is a gimme.

Doll and district spokesperson Julie Boyle said voter apathy, general antitax sentiments, unfamiliarity with mail-in elections and all the distractions that come with the holiday

season have kept them on their toes.

Douglas County Clerk Jamie Shew said mail-in elections have a record of drawing better turnout than elections that force voters to head to the polls. “It’s pretty common in other counties,� Shew said. “Across the state, and in other states, mail-ballot elections increase turnout considerably. So we anticipate, what could have been a 14, 15 percent turnout, could easily be a 25, 30 percent turnout.�

The $1.4 million at stake, Doll said, is equivalent to 25 teachers’ salaries. He said losing that money could result in larger class sizes, a decline in support staff and fewer resources available for acquiring laptops and other kinds of technology.

“It is just a great time of year to be around people,� Anne says. “People are happy that CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A they found something.

So, I estimate it, and then it is time for me to pull the paper off a special rolling device that has a blade that cuts the paper, if you lift the paper and flick your wrists just the right way. I lift and flick that paper like a great matador with his cape.

My paper looks like the bull won.

But I continue on because I note that we have a really large supply of bows within arm’s reach. I could describe in detail all the expert steps I followed thereafter, but the Hallmark corporation and Santa himself have threatened to sue me if I provide any more advice about gift wrapping.

Suffice to say, my package was distinctive.

A package at Weaver’s has a signature look.

They put a special ribbon on it, twisted just the right way. I’ve heard it called the Weaver’s Swoop. That is not what my package is called. “The Chad Whoops,�

Anne says.

About that time, one woman who was having a package wrapped by one of the other workers at the counter asked if they accepted tips. They do not, but I’m almost

certain that her tip was to fire me.

Have no fear, it is just the highly skilled women at the counter the rest of this holiday season — and for seasons to come.

Flannery said the complimentary gift-wrapping service will continue to be a part of Weaver’s for a long time.

Susie says people will be appreciative of that. “I think this service says something about what it is like to live in a small town,� Susie says.

But let’s face it; there is a bigger reason why this service remains so popular. “We are doing something that a lot of people don’t do anymore because we all get too busy,� Susie says.

Yeah, that’s the thing about this Christmas season: It would be a lot more convenient if it came in February.

There’s so much to do and not enough time to do it, so we skip the little things. It is easy to forget how a nicely wrapped present can make you feel, or it is easy to put off making that phone call to an old friend, or it is easy to skip a thousand other little things.

It is worth remembering, though, that a little thing

is pretty important to the story of the season.

Regardless, most of us still won’t make time for the little things, so the women at the wrapping counter will remain busy.

But if it makes you feel any better, there is one thing the women say we don’t need to slow down to do: ripping open our Christmas presents.

They don’t mind seeing

their handiwork demolished in mere seconds. “I just want them to look pretty under the tree,� Anne says. “When it is time to open them, tear into them.�

But please, please, don’t touch the bows on the carpet.

“I’m always nervous, so I don’t consider (the election) to be a shoe-in at all,�

Superintendent Rick Doll said.

The school district and the Douglas County Clerk’s office are preparing for the county’s first ever mail-ballot election, which will determine whether the district can maintain its local option budget — a proposition that would not result in a mill levy increase. “It’s critical to our operating,� Doll said. “We’re not asking for more (money). We just want to continue to do what we’re doing.�

Suspect in police killings posted ‘anti-cop’ messages New York (ap) — A gunman who announced online that he was planning to shoot two “pigs� in retaliation for the chokehold death of Eric Garner ambushed two police officers in a patrol car and shot them to death in broad daylight Saturday before running to a subway station and killing himself, authorities said.

The suspect, Ismaaiyl Brinsley, wrote on an Instagram account: “I’m putting wings on pigs today.

They take 1 of ours, let’s take 2 of theirs,� officials said. He used the hashtags “Shootthepolice,� “RIPErivGardner� (sic) and RIPMikeBrown.

Police said he ap-

Two officers shot dead while sitting in patrol car proached the passenger window of a marked police car and opened fire, striking Officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu in the head. The officers were on special patrol in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn. “They were, quite simply, assassinated — targeted for their uniform. ...

They were ambushed and murdered,� said Police Commissioner William Bratton, who looked pale and shaken at a hospital news conference.

Brinsley took off running and went down to a nearby subway station,

where he shot himself. A silver handgun was recovered at the scene. “This may be my final post,� he wrote in the Instagram post that included an image of a silver handgun.

Bratton confirmed that Brinsley made very serious “anti-cop� statements online but did not get into specifics of the posts. He said they were looking at whether the suspect had attended any rallies or demonstrations.

Two city officials with direct knowledge of the case confirmed the posts to The Associated Press.

The officials, a senior city

official and a law enforcement official, were not authorized to speak publicly on the topic and spoke on condition of anonymity, The shootings come at a tense time. Police in New York are being criticized for their tactics following the death of Garner, who was stopped by police on suspicion of selling loose, untaxed cigarettes.

Amateur video captured an officer wrapping his arm around Garner’s neck and wrestling him to the ground. Garner was heard gasping, “I can’t breathe� before he lost consciousness and later died.

Opinion

Lawrence Journal-World l LJWorld.com l Sunday, December 21, 2014

EDITORIALS

Too little, too late An audit of the Rock Chalk Park project might be instructive, but it probably won’t lessen taxpayer concern about how this project was handled.

I

t may simply be too late for Lawrence city commissioners to ease public concerns about the financial dealings associated with Rock Chalk Park.

Commissioners now are releasing figures comparing infrastructure costs at Rock Chalk Park to similar construction at Lawrence VenturePark to try to show that the costs the city paid under the nobid Rock Chalk contract were reasonable.

On Tuesday, commissioners also took the first step toward ordering an audit of public funds spent on the sports complex. An audit may still be a good idea but it would have been far better if it had occurred before the city paid almost all of the $12 million bill for the infrastructure, not now, when the only leverage the city has is the $1.06 million bill it has yet to pay for legal fees, interest costs and other “soft costs” of the project.

The fact is that there is no way for the city to determine with any accuracy that it wouldn’t have saved money by insisting on a competitive bidding process for the infrastructure. Instead, it gave into the KU Endowment Association, which was insisting that the infrastructure be built by Bliss Sports II, the private development group led by Thomas Fritzel, on a no-bid contract. Whether a competitive bidding process would have reduced the cost of the project is, as Commissioner Bob Schumm admitted, simply “unknowable.”

Schumm supported an audit, saying, “I hope it goes a long way to easing the public’s concerns.” That’s unlikely. No amount of analysis after the fact or comparisons with other similar projects will ease the public’s concern about the way this project was handled. The audit will either provide evidence that city taxpayers got their money’s worth or that they paid too much. Then what will the city officials do? Do they plan to take Bliss Sports to court?

How much time and money are commissioners willing to spend to prove their point on Rock Chalk? They already are looking at hiring an outside auditor with no connection to the city or to Kansas University to conduct the audit on the project.

Even if the audit says the city got a good deal, many taxpayers still will be upset with the process commissioners followed.

And that assumes that the auditor will have access to most or all of the detailed documents, which KU Endowment may or may not obtain and share with the city.

About the only way commissioners could really ease public concerns about this project would be to jump in a time machine, take competitive bids on the Rock Chalk infrastructure and come up with a low bid that is at or above what the city paid on its no-bid contract.

The city and local taxpayers may learn something from an audit that will prevent the city from repeating the mistakes that were made on Rock Chalk, but there probably isn’t much commissioners can do to make the people who are upset about this project feel any better.

States try to constrain federal power Oklahoma City — Scott Pruitt enjoyed owning a AAA baseball team here, but he is having as much fun as Oklahoma’s attorney general, and one of the Obama administration’s most tenacious tormentors. The second existential challenge to the Affordable Care Act began here.

In the first, decided in June 2012, the Supreme Court saved the ACA by reading it imaginatively. The court held that although Congress could not, in the name of regulating commerce, penalize people for not engaging in commerce (buying insurance), the penalty linked to the individual mandate actually could be considered — although Congress did not so consider it — an exercise of Congress’ enumerated power to tax.

That same year, Pruitt lit another fuse, this one involving statutory rather than constitutional construction. He filed a suit that in June may contribute to the most seismic domestic development of 2015.

The suit asks the court to read the ACA unimaginatively, as meaning what it plainly says: Subsidies, in the form of tax credits, are available only to persons who purchase insurance through exchanges “established by the state.” Thirtyseven states have refused or failed to establish their own exchanges. The justices may be disinclined to use the ACA’s legislative history, or the candor of MIT’s

loquacious professor Jonathan Gruber, to inform their deliberations. If, however, the justices do, they will see that Gruber, an ACA architect, says it was written to “squeeze the states” into establishing exchanges: “If you’re a state and you don’t set up an exchange, that means your citizens don’t get their tax credits.”

If the court holds that the ACA means what it plainly and purposively says, then billions of dollars have been disbursed through federal exchanges contrary to the law. The ACA will be crippled until Barack Obama negotiates help from a Republican-controlled Congress.

The Founders’ bargain, Pruitt says, was that the states would surrender some sovereignty in exchange for representation in the federal government. But the growth of federal power has tended to reduce states to administrative extensions of the federal government, leaving them with “pre-emption without representation.” So Pruitt has established within his office a “federalism unit”

aimed at revitalizing federalism as a system of “vertical checks and balances.”

Oklahoma is among 24 states in a suit initiated by Texas Attorney General (and Gov.-elect) Greg Abbott charging that Obama’s unilateral changes in immigration policies are unconstitutional. The complaint is that Obama has injured these states by usurping the legislative power of Congress, in which the states’ interests are represented, and by creating, through executive fiat, policies that will impose substantial costs on the states.

Another target in Pruitt’s sights is the Environmental Protection Agency, which claims to have discovered in the Clean Air Act of 1970 a hitherto unnoticed authority perhaps sufficient to eliminate existing coal-fired power plants. Joined by 16 other state attorneys general, Pruitt argues that the federal government has the power to institute a national energy policy, which implicates the entire economy. But it cannot do so, pre-empting various of the states’ powers, simply by locating authority in the creative reading of a 44-year-old statute.

And then there is the matter of puddles. Pruitt and other attorneys general are resisting the EPA’s and the Army Corps of Engineers’ contention that the 42-yearold Clean Water Act has a hitherto unsuspected capaciousness. The act, which al-

lows regulation of “navigable waters,” was passed under Congress’ power to regulate interstate commerce, so “navigable waters” have been understood to be those suitable for transporting people and products between the states.

But M. Reed Hopper and Todd F. Gaziano of the Pacific Legal Foundation, writing in The Wall Street Journal, say the EPA now wants to control not just wetlands and other non-navigable waters but any water or normally dry land with a “hydrological connection” to actual navigable waters. These include, Hopper and Gaziano say, “arroyos in the desert as well as ditches and culverts hundreds of miles from” actual navigable waters. Pruitt and other attorneys general are contesting this bureaucratic imperialism whereby the EPA, by aggregating almost all the nation’s water and much of its land into EPA-designated “ecoregions,” could regulate — and stifle — much of the nation’s economic activity.

The good news about the ACA, immigration and the EPA is that federalism remains a fact. Come January, federalism’s vitality will be an increasingly inconvenient truth for Obama. Twentyseven states will have Republican attorneys general who can try to restrain the federal Leviathan much as the Lilliputians restrained Gulliver.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Dec. 21, 1914: “Tired of years spending money ago for straw to mend, IN 1914 temporarily, the bad places in the road between Lawrence and Eudora, the county commissioners decided to convert this sandy river route into an up-todate, hard, smooth thoroughfare. They propose to make this change by placing six inches of gumbo and clay on the road and mixing it with the sand.”

AAUP supports KU students’ request

By Ron Barrett-Gonzalez President, Kansas Conference of the American Association of University Professors

Our community has witnessed an illuminating public debate about academic integrity and its necessary conditions of transparency and openness. As with many debates, information is often limited. We would like to offer our concerns, observations and opinions to enhance the dialogue.

One concern is the status of the director of KU’s Center for Applied Economics, Art Hall. Although he is a skilled and productive civil servant, he is not a rank-and-file faculty member. Given his administrative role, is it even possible that Hall is not an administrator?

Hall’s position description seems clear. His title: “Director of Center for Applied Economics” is that of an administrator. The description points out clearly that three-fourths of his duties are consistent with those of an administrator, with no mention of teaching at all. His reporting line is not to the chair of a given unit, as would be the case for most rank-and-file faculty members, but directly to “the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs,” which also indicates that he is an administrator. His appointment form specifically states that he “serve at the pleasure” of a superior administrator as is normal for a centerlevel administrator.

The reason why it is important to understand the appointment of Hall is the degree to which his records and communications should be open for public inspection. His assertion that his “academic freedom” would somehow be violated if KU complied with the sunshine law request for his communiqués seems specious as the American Association of University Professors has no

YOUR TURN statement at any level that protects professional communications between an administrator and a funding authority.

Another issue surfaces related to the independence of centers at public universities. As the students have so famously done, one cannot help but ask: Is it proper for a private group to be instrumental in setting up and controlling a center on the KU campus?

In this instance did they sit on the selection committee, which then chose a chief economist from Koch Industries as its founding executive director? Is it proper for publications to come from this center, bearing a mark of impartiality and authority bestowed upon it by virtue of the fact that the center is part of a public university, especially if the director “serves at the pleasure” of the funders?

As Hall is wont to reference AAUP statements, one seems more than a little germane here: A conflict of interest may most easily be defined as a circumstance in which a person’s primary interests and responsibilities (such as the responsibility to analyze research results as dispassionately as possible) may be compromised by a secondary interest. Identifying a conflict of interest does not entail an accusation of wrongdoing. Conflicts of interest have been shown to affect judgments unconsciously, so a conflict of interest refers to a factual circumstance wherein an impartial observer might reasonably infer that a conflict is present. Not all conflicts of interest are financial in nature, but financial conflicts of interest are not only the ones most easily managed but also the ones most likely to undermine public respect for,

and trust in, higher education.

Given the structure and founding of the CAE, one must ask if it can ever be in compliance with the statement above. Such an intimate intermingling of private monies with a private agenda in a public institution seems to be about as wise as having Exxon-Mobile fund the “KU Center for the Study of Global Warming Benefits.” We find this increasing level of encroachment of targeted private funding, operating with little oversight and no transparency on our public campuses to be most troubling.

That the CAE was ever funded and led in the way that it was begs the question: Where is the conflict of interest oversight? KU’s conflict of interest committee is notorious for zealous enforcement. Just last week it asked a rank-and-file faculty member to step off a student’s committee simply because the faculty member and student held stock in the same company. It now appears that KU maintains a double standard in conflict of interest oversight: If you are rank-and-file faculty, your interests will be X-rayed, turned upside down and inside out. If you’re funded by million-dollar donors, you can do and hide whatever you want.

So given Hall’s position, it is our opinion that it is not only the upper administration’s prerogative to release the requested professional correspondence, but their duty to do so. We find it reprehensible for any junior administrator to sue not only the university, but also students to keep professional correspondence with funding agents’ secret.

The KSAAUP stands for principles and considered dialogue. Accordingly, in this case, we stand proudly with the upper administration and those brave students who dared speak truth to power.

KU 96, LAFAYETTE 69

Big game, Hunter

Mickelson has best game yet at Kansas

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

One of Kansas University’s best big men in practice the last 10 days has been a guy who, until Saturday, had played the fewest minutes in games.

He’s Arkansas transfer Hunter Mickelson, who, after logging one minute in the last five contests and 14 minutes in five games all season, erupted for eight points, seven rebounds and two blocks in 17 minutes in Saturday’s 96-69 rout of Lafayette in Allen Fieldhouse.

“Norm’s been telling me every day, ‘He’s getting better. He’s getting better. He’s getting better,’ and he has gotten better,” KU coach Bill Self said of Mickelson, a 6-foot-10, 245-pound junior from Jonesboro, Arkansas.

Norm is big-man coach Norm Roberts, who monitors the progress of KU’s bigs in drills every single day.

“Certainly he’s going to play more or at least get an opportunity to play more.

We’re not going to play five big guys consistently, but we’ll play four. He’s earned the right to be one of the four, at least short-term. I Mike Yoder/Journal-World Photo may switch who the four are each and every game,” Self KANSAS UNIVERSITY COACH BILL SELF CONGRATULATES CENTER HUNTER MICKELSON (42) during the Jayhawks’ 96-69 victory over Lafayette on Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse. Mickelson had his best game as a Jayhawk against said. the Leopards, with eight points and seven rebounds in 17 minutes.

Mason best one on floor Kansas University’s basketball team is loaded with high-skilled athletes, including four McDonald’s All-Americans, but even all that talent wouldn’t have much of a shot at jelling if not for the sophomore guard who originally committed to Towson and at the time of his choosing Kansas was ranked by Rivals 131st in his class.

On a day Kelly Oubre Jr. played his best game in college, Hunter Mickelson his best in a Kansas uniform and Jamari Traylor continued his upswing, sophomore point guard Frank Mason again was the best player on the floor for either side.

Kansas, with all its depth, could absorb the loss of any other player. Mason goes down, and nobody, as long as Devonté Graham is out because of a severe big-toe injury, has a shot at bringing to the team what Mason does.

LHS boys claim three-OT thriller, 79-75 “

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Kansas City, Mo. — In a game that nobody wanted to end, Lawrence High’s boys basketball team traded baskets, defensive stops and momentum with Barstow (Missouri) on Saturday night in the Hyvee

Shootout at Avila University.

It was like a heavyweight prizefight, in which both sides refused to back down before the Lions made enough plays to outlast the Knights for a 79-75 victory in a triple-overtime thriller.

LHS senior guard Anthony Bonner struggled with

his jump shot for most of the game, but he delivered in the biggest moments. He scored 12 of his team-high 28 points in the final overtime, with seven at the freethrow line.

“It feels amazing. There’s nothing better,” Bonner said. “This is better than any Christmas present.”

The Lions (6-0) leaned on Bonner and junior point guard Justin Roberts for offense in the overtimes.

They combined for 26 of the team’s 27 points.

Bonner’s teammates encouraged him to keep shooting through his slump, and he made five of his last six shots.

It feels amazing.

There’s nothing better. This is better than any Christmas present.”

“That was a game that I’ll never forget,” said Roberts, who scored 26 points and had four assists. “We just stepped up at big times, and that’s what really mattered.

As long as we got the ‘W,’ it didn’t matter how many overtimes it took. Honestly, we — Lawrence’s Anthony Bonner Please see LIONS, page 3B

COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

Kentucky clobbers UCLA The Associated Press

Top 25 Men No. 1 Kentucky 83, UCLA 44 Chicago — Devin Booker had 19 points, and Kentucky scored the game’s first 24 points in a victory over UCLA on Saturday.

Aaron Harrison added 15 points, and the Wildcats (12-0) handed the Bruins (8-4) one of their most-lopsided losses ever.

The first meeting between the storied programs in eight years turned ugly as soon as the game started, with Kentucky dominating UCLA in every possible way.

The 24-0 run at the start of the game was eight shy of the record between two Division I teams, set by Connecticut against New Hampshire on Dec. 12, 1990. And the 39-point margin was nine shy of the Bruins’ record.

The Wildcats led 41-7 at the intermission, the lowest point total in a half for UCLA and the fewest by a Kentucky opponent since December 1943.

No. 4 Louisville 76, Western Kentucky 67 Bowling Green, Ky. — Terry Rozier took charge after the first-half ejection of forward Montrezl Harrell to score a careerhigh 32 points, including 26 in the second half, to lead Louisville.

No. 7 Villanova 82, Syracuse 77, OT Philadelphia — JayVaughn Pinkston had 25 points and 10 rebounds, and Darrun Hilliard scored 23 points, keeping Villanova undefeated.

The Wildcats (11-0) never led until overtime and rallied from a 15-point hole to stun their former Big East rival.

No. 8 Gonzaga 63, Cal Poly 50 Seattle — Kevin Pangos scored 11 of his 16 points in the second half, and Gonzaga struggled to shake pesky Cal Poly.

Gonzaga (11-1) was flat throughout and at times uncommonly sloppy playing its annual game at Seattle’s KeyArena, letting the Cal Poly (5-5) hang around late into the second half before finally putting away the Mustangs in the final six minutes.

No. 24 N. Carolina 82, No. 12 Ohio St. 74 Chicago — Brice Johnson had 18 points on 8-for-10 shooting and nine rebounds, and North Carolina used its stout defense to hold off Ohio State. Marcus Paige added 16 points for the Tar Heels (8-3), and Kennedy Meeks finished with eight points, 13 rebounds and two blocked shots.

No. 21 Notre Dame 94, Purdue 63 Indianapolis — Pat Connaughton had 19 points and 14 rebounds, leading Notre Dame over Purdue in the Crossroads Classic.

Indiana 82, No. 23 Butler 73 Indianapolis — Troy Williams matched his career high with 22 points, and Kevin “Yogi” Ferrell added 20 to help Indiana beat Butler.

Texas Southern 71, No. 25 Mich. St. 64, OT East Lansing, Mich.

— Chris Thomas scored 22 points, and unheralded Texas Southern beat Michigan State, outlasting the Spartans in overtime.

A loss and Kansas City (8-6) will need a victory over San Diego in the regular-season finale and plenty of help.

Quarterback Alex Smith would just as soon not have to spend the last Sunday of the year staring at a scoreboard during timeouts.

“You have been working hard to put yourself in this position,” Smith said.

“You wanted the stages to get bigger and bigger and be more meaningful and here we are.”

How long the Chiefs stay there will depend on if they can slow down the NFL’s top-ranked offense, one led by a guy who knows a thing or two about the Chiefs.

Pittsburgh offensive

coordinator Todd Haley spent two-plus seasons as Kansas City head coach from 2009-11, leading the Chiefs to an unlikely AFC West title in 2010 before it all fell apart.

Haley has resurrected his career calling plays for the Steelers, who are poised to lead the league in total yardage for only the second time in team history behind Roethlisberger, wide receiver Antonio Brown and running back Le’Veon Bell.

It’s heady territory for a franchise traditionally built from the defense up.

Not so much anymore. If anything, it’s the Chiefs who have adopted Pittsburgh’s formula for success.

didn’t want to stop playing because that was just a fun game.”

Both teams continued to trade punches at critical moments. Roberts hit two free throws for a three-point lead with under a minute to play in the first overtime, and Barstow junior Tripp Walworth countered with a game-tying threepointer.

In the second overtime, Bonner ran past the defense for a fast-break layup and a two-point lead, but Barstow sophomore Jacob Gilyard slashed in for a layup with 34 seconds left.

The Lions also had to place a ton of attention on versatile 6-foot-7 junior Jeriah Horne, who used his size advantage to score 32 points and grab 20 rebounds with a variety of spin moves in the low post.

LHS did its best to contain Horne, rotating forwards Fred Brou, Logan Applegate and Price Morgan against him, but they all fouled out by the second overtime. That meant throwing guards John Barbee, Anthony Harvey and Ben Rajewski at him before Horne fouled out midway through the final overtime.

“We’re not the type of team to fold,” said LHS coach Mike Lewis, who had plenty to celebrate on his birthday. “We just

need to hang in there. We had to throw the team at Horne. We’ll learn as we get along here about how we can adjust a little bit better, but I liked our energy. I liked the way we hung in there. We’re a team that sticks together.”

Before the overtimes, Horne gave Barstow (6-1, ranked No. 1 in Missouri’s Class 3) a two-point lead after converting an andone layup and the free throw.

The Lions had a play set up, but Roberts lost control of the ball before Rajewski grabbed it and was fouled attempting a three before the buzzer.

Rajewski missed the first free throw before nailing the next two, helping the Lions avoid a knockout blow.

“It’s just fighting through adversity,” Bonner said. “We got to do this for coach (Kermit Aldridge, who died in March). He’s looking down on us. He would always fight, so we have to fight for him and that’s what we did.”

Chiefs look to contain Steelers Pittsburgh (ap) — Ben Roethlisberger doesn’t need to bother with the math, no matter how simple the equation.

The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback understands a win over Kansas City today sends his team back to the playoffs for the first time in three years. If Roethlisberger is being honest though, the postseason truly began a month ago.

“We’ve kind of had that mentality for the last couple weeks that it’s time to get hot and play our best football,” Roethlisberger said.

Anything less and the Steelers (9-5) will be home in January yet again. At least Pittsburgh has some wiggle room.

KANSAS 96, LAFAYETTE 69

Leopards follow plan, but still fall

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Lafayette’s game plan Saturday afternoon at Allen Fieldhouse was to shoot well from the outside on offense, help inside on defense and hope to catch a couple of breaks that would allow the Leopards to hang in there against 10th-ranked Kansas University on its home floor.

By game’s end, Lafayette was able to put a check in each of those boxes, but that did not prevent the Jayhawks

from rolling to a 96-69 victory.

A big reason for KU’s success was the Jayhawks’ ability to match Lafayette’s outside shooting.

The Leopards (7-3) entered Saturday shooting 42 percent from threepoint range as a team and drained 12 of 26 threepoint tries (46 percent) against the Jayhawks.

KU’s sharpshooters answered that by knocking in the same number of three-pointers (12) in three fewer attempts (23) while shooting 52 percent from the three-point range.

Several of KU’s triples came on possessions that followed Lafayette makes from the outside, which not only allowed Kansas (9-1) to maintain its lead but also got into the heads of the Leopards.

“After we make a shot, we know we need to play tough defense and hustle back,” said sophomore guard Monty Boykins, who scored 10 points and hit all three of his threepoint attempts. “But when a team hits a shot right after that, it’s pretty demoralizing.”

Lafayette coach Fran

O’Hanlon said the fact that KU played with a lead for so much of Saturday’s victory may have helped the home team’s shooting percentage.

“We were really trying to help inside a lot, and they started to hit some threes, some long threes,” O’Hanlon said. “When you’re playing a team, and they have a 10-, 12-, 14-point lead, those threes are a lot less pressure than if it’s in a close game.”

Despite KU’s lightsout shooting, O’Hanlon and his players remained proud of the way they

shot the ball and how it allowed them to play the Jayhawks tougher than many people might have expected.

“We have to shoot well to be in games,” O’Hanlon said. “And I thought we shot the ball well. We didn’t get as many shots as they did, and a lot of that had to do with their rebounding.”

KU outrebounded Lafayette 44-26, and that was one of those little things — with turnovers (12-5 in KU’s favor), steals (8-3, KU) and depth being the others — that

O’Hanlon and his bunch said made the difference.

“There were a couple of turnovers there that were key,” O’Hanlon said.

“And when we turned it over, they got a layup on the other end.”

Added senior forward Seth Hinrichs, who drilled three of six threepointers and led Lafayette with 15 points and seven rebounds: “They’re the 10th (ranked) team in the country, and we competed for 30 minutes. I think we can be proud of that.

But we would’ve liked to compete for the full 40.”

Mickelson, who hit four of seven shots Saturday — he clanged a one-handed dunk try that would have given him his first-double-digit outing at KU — previously scored a season-high six points in a season-best five minutes against Rider on Nov. 24.

His career highs in points and rebounds at Arkansas were 16 and 13.

“Sometimes you get in a routine, and you kind of stick with it unless somebody just hits you over the head. He’s kind of hit us over the head the last week. He’s been really good in practice. His attitude’s been great,” Self said of Mickelson. “He just needed an opportunity. He got out there and did well today. We were actually better with him in the game.”

Of his string of strong practices, Mickelson said: “I just kind of had one of those weeks. I could feel everything going right.”

He was tipped off he’d receive extensive minutes against Lafayette.

“Coach kind of said a little something to me before the game with everybody in the locker room: ‘Just be ready,’ and when my time comes, make the most of it,” Mickelson said.

He said lack of playing time in the first nine games hadn’t gotten him down.

“I kind of have been in my head a little bit, just

Freshman Kelly Oubre Jr., who made his second start of the season Saturday — he was ticketed to come off the bench until Brannen Greene reported a half hour late for weights Friday — went off for a career-high 23 points off 9-of-15 shooting (4-for-7 on threes) and 10 rebounds in 25 minutes.

“Brannen missed weights. He basically handed Kelly a starting job.

That’s a good lesson for everybody,” said Self, who noted Oubre also has been great in practice of late.

“He seems to me he’s playing with more burst as opposed to just play-

ing at one speed at a time,” Self said. “He’s kept a great attitude. He’s played very well.”

Oubre’s season-high in minutes came after playing 17 against Utah (nine points) and 16 versus Georgetown (seven points).

“I look at it as, it’s part of the process. A lot of people say, ‘Enjoy the process.’ That’s what I’ve been doing,” Oubre said.

“It was a confidencebooster, something to get me started, like a platform was built today. I’m going to keep doing the same thing I’ve been doing, being patient and enjoying the process.”

KU had six players finish as double-digit scorers. Frank Mason III had 14 points, Wayne Selden Jr. 12, Sviatoslav Mykhail-

iuk 11 (including three straight threes the first half), Jamari Traylor 11 and Cliff Alexander 10.

Mickelson scored four straight points the first half — an inside bucket and follow of a Mykhailiuk miss — to give KU a 32-17 lead at 5:21. In the second half, he hit a short jumper off a nifty spin move to boost a 59-52 lead (11:40) to nine points at 11:09. That opened a back-breaking 24-5 run that assured KU of improving to 9-1 overall. Lafayette fell to 7-3.

“My conditioning was fine. We run up and down every day and go hard in practice,” Mickelson said. “I don’t think it was that much different. The lights get a little brighter when you are out there. I just had a good time. Like Kelly said, we’re playing

Oubre starts in place of weights-late Greene

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University sophomore wing Brannen Greene, who was ticketed to start his second straight game Saturday, missed the entire first half as penalty for arriving late for a weighttraining session Friday.

Greene’s replacement in the opening lineup was Kelly Oubre Jr., who erupted for a game-high 23 points in a 96-69 victory over Lafayette at Allen Fieldhouse.

SOUP STORIES

Author’s ‘Chicken Soup’ writings help challenge preconceptions of disabilities

By Joanna Hlavacek Twitter: @hlavacekjoanna

“Y

ou can push her over there,” said the woman behind the desk.

That’s how Lorraine Cannistra remembers being greeted at an appointment a few days ago, when an office worker directed questions about Cannistra’s insurance coverage, not to the 46-year-old herself, but to her college-aged caregivers.

“She pretended like I wasn’t in the room,” Cannistra says.

It’s an extreme example, she admits, but not exactly a rarity. For Cannistra, who has cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair to get around, encounters like these happen once or twice a week.

Most of the time, she’s able to laugh it off.

But on that day, the hurtful, condescending words had weaseled their way under her skin — and she wanted them out.

“I was really upset. Do people not understand that I have a master’s degree? And what if I pretended a grown up wasn’t in the room because they wore glasses? That wouldn’t be fair,” she recalls thinking to herself. “But I just had to get it all out and say, ‘Now it’s OK.’ If I can write about it, it’s not inside me anymore.”

Writing offers a special form of therapy for Cannistra, a Lawrence-based author, blogger, ballroom dancer and former Miss Wheelchair Kansas whose stories have been featured in five “Chicken Soup for the Soul” books over the last two years.

She started writing regularly as a student at Emporia State University, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in English and a master’s degree in social rehabilitation, as a way to sort through emotions and “make sense of life.”

It wasn’t until joining a local writers’ group, however, that she thought seriously about publishing her work.

“One of my goals in life, one of the things that I think I was born to do, is to challenge negative perceptions that people have of people with disabilities,” Cannistra says. “I speak and I write, and it all flows from that.”

Soup’s on In 2013, Cannistra’s writing appeared in “Chicken Soup for the Soul” volumes “It’s Christmas: 101 Joyful Stories about the Love, Fun, and Wonder of the Holidays,” “The Dating Game: 101 Stories about Looking for Love and Finding Fairytale Romance!” and “From Lemons to Lemonade: 101 Positive, Practical, and Powerful Stories about Making the Best of a Bad Situation.”

Her two most recent offerings in “Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Dog Did What?” and “Chicken Soup for the Soul: Find Your Inner Strength,” were released this past August and October, respectively.

‘Hobbit’ finale tarnishes ‘Rings’ legacy

T

he mammoth cinematic achievement of Peter Jackson — adapting the rich world of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth since 2001 — will always come with an asterisk; a sad irony.

Turning “The Lord of the Rings” novels into a filmic trilogy was possible only with the latest in computer-generated graphics. It was the only way to realize Tolkien’s vision of fantastic creatures, enormous sets and massive-scale battles.

It also took a team of writers who knew Tolkien’s dense and detailed universe (appendices and all) forward and backward, while understanding the unique requirements of narrative visual storytelling.

With the first three “Lord of the Rings” movies, Jackson re-invigorated fantasy filmmaking and set in place a production design and special effects standard that has been aped in every large-scale historical drama and fantasy movie/TV show since. In addition, the director set the bar incredibly high for achieving the right balance of character, action and urgency to relate to a wide audience and appeal to hardcore fans of the source material.

SCENE STEALERS

ERIC MELIN

eric@scene-stealers.com With all the structure and look of “LOTR” codified and duplicated ad nauseam for a decade, Jackson then undertook telling the comparatively slim story of “The Hobbit” — a book with a similar hero’s journey, which ended up being Tolkien’s warm-up act for the larger task of the full trilogy.

But while Tolkien expanded and enriched his writing for the “LOTR” trilogy, Jackson faced the task of adapting a lesser tome. Instead, he raided Tolkien’s unused appendices and expanded one popular children’s book into three films.

I’m not just arguing that Jackson needlessly padded “The Hobbit” trilogy out to three mov-

Martin Freeman in “The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies” ies. That’s a common criticism that even the biggest fanboy would agree with. The sad irony is that — given the enormous familiarity with Jackson’s cinematic Middle-earth and the almost identical structure and conflict of both trilogies — the sixth and final film “The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies” is a slog of an exercise; one of stubborn inevitability that ground me down to a nub.

At 144 minutes, it’s the shortest in the series, but this chapter is so lacking in depth and surprise that it feels like watching

a never-ending series of video game cutscenes.

One big problem is that Martin Freeman, now fully comfortable in the skin of brave hobbit Bilbo Baggins, is barely in the picture.

There are so many supporting characters the film follows that Bilbo is gone for long stretches.

Whenever Freeman is back onscreen, he’s amiable, funny and energetic — radiating the best qualities of his character.

Unfortunately, that’s not a lot.

Bilbo’s struggle to resist the power of the ring exactly mirrors that

of dwarf king Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage), whose honor is tainted by the promise of gold and power. Since we’ve already seen this inner conflict portrayed in the “LOTR” trilogy with Frodo (Elijah Wood), it’s taxing for the sixth time here — and with two characters, no less.

Besides all the redundant explication from a storytelling standpoint, the final sad irony of “The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies” is that Jackson’s visual effects are the best they’ve been.

The rendering of three-

dimensional battles has never been more convincing.

But the costumes, creatures and production design are all variations on a too-familiar theme, and this time more than ever their surface-value pleasures are hung out to dry by an absolute lack of urgency or surprise — two concepts that Jackson had mastered in the superior “LOTR” trilogy.

Two years ago, as an exercise in editing, actor Topher Grace re-edited George Lucas’ lugubrious “Star Wars” prequels into one efficient, 85-minute fanedit (“Star Wars Episode III.5: The Editor Strikes Back”) that reportedly somehow preserves the hero-gonebad journey of Anakin Skywalker and removes all the excess fat.

When Grace or some other aspiring editor inevitably gets around to condensing “The Hobbit” trilogy, it might be safe to enter Peter Jackson’s Middle-earth again.

‘Wild’ breaks free from mold of pretentious self-discovery films

I

t could have been pretentious: An aimless young woman, searching for herself, discovers her own courage by hiking 1,100 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail alone.

That’s pretty much the one-sentence description of “Wild,” now playing at Liberty Hall and starring Reese Witherspoon as Cheryl Strayed, the real-life author who did just that and wrote a best-seller about it. It just goes to prove Roger Ebert’s old saying — and one of my favorite quotes about film criticism — “It’s not what the movie is about, it’s how it’s about it.”

This isn’t the onewith-self drama-queen travelogue of “Eat Pray Love” or the pompous one-with-nature spiritual quest of “Into the Wild.”

It’s a down-to-earth tale of a damaged woman with something to prove to herself, told in an interesting way.

“Wild” has a real dark side — in both the flashbacks to Cheryl’s painful past and the looming threat of a woman traveling alone, meeting the wrong kind of person along the trail.

There’s real danger here, but there’s also a wicked sense of humor.

Cheryl knows the trip is a bad idea, but is compelled to go forward because there is nothing to go back to. She curses her own unpreparedness the entire trip. She doubts and curses herself out loud. In the opening scenes, she chucks her hiking shoe down a steep hill in frustration, only then realizing what a dumb mistake that was.

Adapting “Wild” into a feature film has been a passion project of Witherspoon, who also produced the movie.

Although she’s a little too old to play a twentysomething, she throws herself into the role, inhabiting all of her char-

Reese Witherspoon in “Wild” acter’s contradictions.

She’s playing way against type as a griefstricken divorcee whose downward spiral of promiscuous sex and drug addiction led her to this unlikely place.

The film’s frank depiction of Cheryl’s sexuality is one of the things that supports the actress and helps to lift her out of her comfort zone.

Having written the novels “High Fidelity” and “About a Boy,” screenwriter Nick Hornby understands aimless characters, and his script is a skillful balancing act.

It undercuts an overly serious tone whenever possible and layers in a poignancy that rarely seems forced. As she continues her journey, Cheryl earns the respect of fellow hikers along the trail. As the narrative unpacks her personal story, she earns our respect.

Director Jean-Marc Vallee (“Dallas Buyers Club”) does an amazing job of varying the kinds of shots in “Wild,” which could have been overtly aesthetically pleasing — all color-treated outdoor vistas and sunsets.

Instead, his depiction of Cheryl’s surroundings is more natural; it varies by the landscape, and echoes the honest portrait of his heroine. Cheryl’s inner monologue is illustrated through a combination

AP Photo/Fox Searchlight Pictures

of clever techniques, including narration from Witherspoon, her own memories and the songs that get stuck in her head.

The flashback sequences — especially the ones featuring an enigmatic Laura Dern as her mother — are a nice break from her hiking adventure, and sport a dream-like quality, with quick flashes and lots of camera movement.

“Wild” breaks the mold of other trip-asself-discovery films with a refreshing honesty. The filmmakers succeed in telling a familiar story in bold fashion, bringing the audience into the mind and experiences of its lead character without making her an allegorical or literal martyr.

“Wild” is 113 minutes and is rated R for sexual content, nudity, drug use and language.

DONNA THOMASON STARS in “I’ll Eat You Last: A Chat With Sue Mengers” at the Unicorn Theatre. The production runs through Dec. 28.

“I’ll Eat You Last: A Chat With Sue Mengers” stars Donna Thomason as a veteran talent agent dishing out gossip on Hollywood’s biggest stars and inside showbiz details.

On the Jerome Stage, “Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo” takes the audience on a surreal but powerful tour of modern-day Baghdad with two Marines and an Iraqi translator whose lives are changed after an encounter with a quickwitted tiger.

Both plays run daily (except for Wednesday and Thursday) through Dec. 28. Tickets are $35 each. Visit unicorntheatre.org for more details. Both shows are meant for adult audiences.

‘Make Time’ From 7 to 11 p.m. Saturday, the Plenum Space Gallery in the Crossroads will be hosting a beer tasting and closing event for artist Rena Detrixhe’s “Make Time,” which features a site-specific installation created by hand-stitching hundreds of panels of material together.

Detrixhe, a 2013 Kansas University graduate in expanded media, is one of this year’s Charlotte Street Foundation Studio Residents.

Plenum Space Gallery is located at 504 E. 18th St. (near Locust Street) and features new exhibitions every First Friday.

Visit the Haw at 1600 Liberty St. from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, or from noon to 5 p.m. Saturday.

For an even bigger display, head to Longview Lake’s “Christmas in the Park,” a professional installation including over 300,000 bulbs and 175 animated figures. It’s free to drive through, but donations are accepted for local charities.

“Christmas in the Park” will be on display until Dec. 31.

Soup Both stories are about Marshall, Cannistra’s first service dog.

The yellow Labrador retriever bounded into her life as a spirited 2-and-a-half-year-old, still young and full of energy. It hadn’t been more than three weeks after picking him up from the service dog school, however, when Marshall’s veterinarian delivered the devastating news.

“I’m glad we did the biopsy, Lorraine,” he gently told her. “The lump was full of cancer.”

She made a call to the owner of the school and was told matter-of-factly that if Marshall died, she could always “get another dog.”

That wasn’t an option.

Cannistra had already bonded with Marshall in that short time, and wasn’t ready to give up on him yet. After all, she says, “My parents didn’t decide to get another one when they found out I had a disability.”

For the next nine years, Cannistra stuck

by Marshall through one surgery to the next as his cancer disappeared and then returned twice.

The last time, back in 2008, just happened to coincide with Cannistra’s trip to the Miss Wheelchair America pageant in Bethesda, Md. At nearly 12 years old, Marshall had finally taken a turn for the worse. He was dying, and Cannistra had a decision to make.

“I remember sitting up all night with him the night before I left for the Miss Wheelchair America pageant, thinking, ‘Do I go? Do I stay with him?’” says Cannistra, who chose to have him put down the day after she got back.

MOST RECENTLY, LORRAINE CANNISTRA was published in Chicken Soup for the Soul’s “Find Your Inner Strength.”

DANCING WITH ‘ELLEN’ “When I started dancing in 2008, it totally changed my perception of what was possible for my life,” says Lorraine Cannistra, who always figured dancing would have to stay on the list of things she couldn’t do because of her disability, like climbing a tree or hopping the fence.

She’s since fallen in love with the sport and the “freedom” it offers on the dance floor.

Cannistra wants to share that joy with others on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” where

she hopes to perform with her dance partner, Brandon White.

To generate support for her goal, check out her Thunderclap campaign at www.thunderclap.it titled “Wheelchair Dancing with Ellen” and then “like” and “share” her Facebook page, “Help Lorraine and Brandon dance on Ellen.”

Her goal is to gain at least 100,000 supporters on Thunderclap, which she hopes will generate Facebook “likes” and ultimately catch the eye of “Ellen” producers.

on a new story, which she hopes to submit to “Chicken Soup for the Soul” publishers before the Dec. 31 deadline.

It’s called “They Took My Picture,” and it’s based on her experience as the 1974 poster child for United Cerebral Palsy.

The plan was to photograph Cannistra, then 6 years old, wearing her “hideous” leg braces and propping herself up with crutches.

When her doctor Disability advocate informed the family that Both the state and she no longer needed the national competitions braces, United Cerebral were “good practice” Palsy insisted on making for Cannistra, who now her wear them anyway, at devotes much of her time least for the photo shoot. to advocating for others Donation cans plaswith disabilities. tered with the “pathetic” A big part of that is image appeared all over education, she says.

America pageant.

Judges created the award especially for her, a first in the pageant’s 35year history, because she had “the uncanny ability to leave the judges with a little more joy than they had before I entered the room,” Cannistra says.

Stunned by the honor, Cannistra took a few moments to regain her composure, after which a photographer snapped a picture of her — a sharp contrast, she says, to that sad portrait of the little girl in leg braces.

“There was a whole difference between taking my picture as a poster child and taking my picture as part of the Miss Wheelchair America pageant. One was really empowering, and one was evoking pity,” she says. “So, that’s what the latest story’s about.”

But there are several talented individuals who have opened a variety of new businesses in the neighborhood.

Among them are Jill Myers and Wes Gartner, the former catering team who opened the restaurant Voltaire, 1617 Genessee St., in 2013.

The pair spent a year rehabbing the former R Bar space and turning it into their own Europeanstyle bistro known as much for its dimly lit, sophisticated ambiance as its delicious seafood plates, meat dishes, fresh vegetables and craft cocktails.

Voltaire also recently added a Sunday brunch option from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Voltaire is open for cocktails after 4 p.m. and starts serving dinner at 6 p.m. until 10. Reservations are recommended by calling at 816-4721200, and a special sixcourse price fixe menu is available on New Year’s Eve for $66. Take a peek at their menu at VoltaireKC.com.

Just down the block at 1505 Genessee St., Michael and Kerry Amigoni’s Urban Winery sells a variety of wines grown from their vineyards about 45 minutes east of Kansas City.

Their tasting room in a renovated industrial building is a bright, airy space and a perfect spot to sample five different wines for $6, with cheese and meat plates available for purchase.

By Hillel Italie Associated Press

New York — Like a serial for the digital age, the book world’s most dramatic story of 2014 unfolded in installments, often in real time.

A dispute about e-book revenues between Amazon.com and Hachette Book Group led to Amazon’s removing buy buttons, cutting discounts and reducing orders for works ranging from J.K. Rowling’s latest detective thriller to J.D. Salinger’s “Nine Stories.” The battle lasted for months. Hachette author Stephen Colbert flipped the bird to Amazon, right on camera. Amazon suggested that frustrated customers might try buying books elsewhere.

You could call the resolution happy, and openended. The two sides agreed to a multiyear deal in mid-November and Hachette books were back in full for the holi-

day season. Amazon and Hachette each declared itself satisfied.

But it’s hard to say what has changed. Douglas Preston, a Hachette author who became a leading Amazon critic, expressed a common view among writers when he told The Associated Press recently that the standoff demonstrated that the online retailer is “ruthless and willing to sanction books and hurt authors.”

Amazon’s image may have suffered but it still controls some 40 percent of the market, by the estimate of major New York publishers, and still has a hold on those who say they fear it.

Here are other highlights from 2014:

Yesterday’s news Many of the big fiction books of 2014 were not published in 2014: An Oprah Winfrey pick, Sue Monk Kidd’s “The Invention of Wings”; Donna Tartt’s Pulitzer Prizewinning “The Goldfinch,” a Hachette release

so in demand that even Amazon left it alone; and a handful of novels helped by movie adaptations — Gillian Flynn’s “Gone Girl,” John Green’s “The Fault In Our Stars” and Laura Hillenbrand’s “Unbroken.” Phil Klay’s book of contemporary war stories, “Redeployment,” won the National Book Award, but a people’s prize for top literary hardcover of 2014 would likely go to a novel about World War II, Anthony Doerr’s “All the Light We Cannot See,” which has sold more than 180,000 copies, according to Nielsen BookScan, which tracks around 80 percent of sales.

Diversity BookCon, a self-styled “pop culture” version of BookExpo America, launched in 2014 and immediately failed by only inviting white authors to speak. In response, a social me- Woodson dia campaign was born, and a grassroots movement, We Need Diverse Books, soon followed.

One of We Need Diverse Books’ advisers is Jacqueline Woodson, who won the National Book Award for her

young adult book “Brown Girl Dreaming.” She also, quite unintentionally, helped raised a substantial amount of money for the organization.

This is an ad to let the public know that a family tradition has been broken when someone stole from Mr. Bill Rogers front yard, at 16th and Delaware, his handmade Santa and reindeer Christmas yard decorations. He made these in the 1980’s from a pattern he found from a magazine, and his son, who just turned 27 years old, has memories of these yard decorations from when he was a little boy. If you have any information regarding Mr. Roger’s yard decorations - a hand painted Santa with packages, sleigh, and four reindeer, please leave a message at 785-393-4580. Thank you and Happy Holidays!

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Grandmother feels spurned by couple after wedding Dear Annie: Last month, I attended a bridal shower for my “new” granddaughter.

The shower was lovely, and we all enjoyed ourselves. We took pictures of everyone with our friends and family and the new bride.

My grandson’s wedding was last weekend. When my husband and I arrived, the bride and groom were off with the photographer taking family pictures.

I assumed we would be called to join in, but after waiting for some time, we were escorted into the reception area, and the next thing I knew, the ceremony was beginning.

I am totally confused as to why we were not included in the wedding pic-

tures. I brought this up to my son (the groom’s father), and he said the “kids” did not want to hear any more ideas on how the wedding was to be arranged. They had paid for it themselves, so my son felt he couldn’t make suggestions.

I could have accepted that explanation if it weren’t for the fact that the bride’s grandparents were invited to the picture session.

Oprah focuses on spirituality with Rob Bell Oprah Winfrey, TV’s queen of soft-focus quasi-spirituality, presents “The Rob Bell Show” (7 p.m., OWN). Named as “one of the 100 most influential people in the world” by Time magazine, Bell has been part of Winfrey’s traveling road show, the multicity “Oprah’s The Life You Want Weekend” circuit.

The author of “What We Talk About When We Talk About God,” Bell will share stories with a live audience, returning to such themes as “owning your story” and “wonder and awe.”

Prior to Bell’s show, OWN presents a best-of edition of “Super Soul Sunday” (6 p.m.), including Oprah’s conversations with Pharrell Williams, John Legend, Tina Turner, Sharon Stone, Alanis Morissette and Arianna Huffington concerning their spirituality. Why is it when I think about celebrities and spirituality I return to Dana Carvey’s old “Saturday Night Live” Church Lady refrain: “Isn’t that special?”

“Asian Tsunami: The Deadliest Wave” (7 p.m., Smithsonian) recalls the Indian Ocean tsunami that struck on Dec. 26, 2004, leaving more than 230,000 dead and 1.7 million without homes, making it one of the most deadly natural disasters in recent history.

Tonight’s other highlights

Scheduled on “60 Minutes” (6:30 p.m., CBS): an update on Afghanistan; interviews with actress Reese Witherspoon and retiring Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn.

The Arizona Cardinals host the Seattle Seahawks on “Sunday Night Football” (7:20 p.m., NBC).

“Masterpiece Classic” (8 p.m. and 9 p.m., PBS, TV-PG, check local listings) offers two chances to catch up on last season’s “Downton Abbey.”

Even my daughter-inlaw’s mother was invited, and she is related the same way I am.

I want to understand why we were not included. We have never had an issue with either one of them. We have always been supportive and loving toward the newlyweds. My son tells me to let it go, but I am having a hard time doing that. I don’t want to make everyone angry, but I’d like to ask my grandson and his bride whether this was an oversight or simply the way they wanted it.

The holidays are here, and we probably will all be together. I am so hurt and confused that I dread seeing them. How do I get past this? — Overlooked

Dear Overlooked: We think this was an oversight, and we hope you will treat it as such. Weddings can be so stressful, even under the best of circumstances.

Those couples who handle all of the details themselves often end up feeling overwhelmed, and unfortunately, important things can slide and feelings are unintentionally hurt. You certainly won’t want to hear a different answer, so we urge you to forgive them, and we hope they will apologize.
