shley Mercer speaks from experience when she says life on a South Seas island isn’t paradise.

The 20-year-old Lawrence woman spent time last spring on a tropical island in the South Pacific as part of the MTV reality show “Stranded with a Million Dollars.” Revealing just how long she was on the deserted island with the other nine cast members would give away too much about how the show plays out, but Mercer said she was on the

island long enough to learn that while it could be beautiful, it wasn’t always idyllic.

“When it rains, it pours,” she said. “It rained more than I would have ever expected.

I wasn’t expecting such fluctuations in temperatures. It was insanely hot during the daytime and brutally cold at night.”

Mercer and nine other contestants were dropped off on the island to vie for part of a $1 million prize. If that sounds familiar, there are twists that distinguish the MTV show from the granddaddy of reality shows, “Survivor.” In “Stranded,” the 10 contestants were able to spend the prize money — with a majority vote — on items to make their situation more comfortable. But as the show’s website says, the costs of those comforts were “crazy expensive,” giving the example of a $30,000 tent.

Hanging on to the money was the goal, because all those who remain on the island after 40 days split what’s left of the $1 million.

her being gone,” Harmon told the Journal-World.

“If that was the only way for her to participate, I would rather she participate using technology remotely than not participate at all… I was just concerned that she was starting to do that too frequently.”

In her letter, Adair also pointed to her frustrations with the board’s “inability,” as she put it, to adopt “appropriate technologies” for Lawrence students. She said her advice on technological matters had been largely ignored by the school board, “usually to the detriment of the students,” an assessment that Harmon also characterized as inaccurate.

Adair also highlighted “ethical challenges” faced by the board, among them a ruling from the Universal Service Administrative Company in December that found district officials had violated federal conflict-ofinterest rules. In its findings, the USAC accused administrators of improperly accepting more than a dozen free internet accounts, putting the district at risk of losing out on approximately

$840,000 in funding.

“It bothers me that employees and school board members were getting free internet service while low income families were trekking back and forth to the public library so their children could do homework,” Adair said in her letter.

“It is unconscionable. It stinks of bribery and official corruption.”

Harmon, once again, described Adair’s allegations as an “extreme mischaracterization of what happened.” Both the school district and its then-internet provider Knology have since appealed the USAC findings to the Federal Communications Commission, arguing that the free accounts were offered “as part of Knology’s regular commercial offerings made over the course of many years” and did not influence decision-makers in the district.

On Friday, Harmon flatly denied that any bribery had taken place.

“Basically, once it came to light that there was a potential issue, board members stopped using it,” Harmon said of the internet accounts. “And we immediately tried to

make things right with the appropriate entities involved.”

There has been talk of Adair’s potential resignation for quite s o m e time. Last year, fellow board member Vanessa Sanburn criticized Adair for Sanburn a string of absences that fell amid the selection process for the school district’s new superintendent. In addition to board meetings, Adair didn’t participate in interviewing and selecting semifinalists and finalists for the position. Adair said at the time that those absences were related to her startup company, which had been accepted into a 90-day business accelerator program.

Sanburn, who was then president of the school board, suggested that Adair should resign if she wasn’t going to attend meetings.

Immediately following Adair’s resignation Friday, Sanburn told the Journal-World that she had reached out to Adair that day via email.

She again relayed her recommendation that “if she doesn’t have the time that is necessary in order to commit her service to the board, that resignation is the best option,” Sanburn said.

“So I’m pleased to hear

relationships with other people either help or hurt your chances of winning money,” she said. “The relationships you formed were integral.”

“Stranded” has another twist that sets it apart, Shumaker said. Production, he maintained, didn’t involve a camera crew hanging close to contestants as they dealt with the environment and each other.

Instead, it used drones, tree-mounted remote cameras, microphones and some long-range cameras.

Mercer said her involvement was something of a lark.

“It wasn’t something that was a dream of mine or anything,” she said. “I was watching a TV show

with friends on how to get on a reality show.

I applied online. It just kind of fell in place.”

Things moved quickly after submitting the application, which included a couple of her photographs and a description of her personality, Mercer said. She had a whirlwind three weeks of interviews before catching a flight to the show’s location.

The brief biography on Mercer provided on the MTV website states that she’s a tomboy who grew up hunting and fishing in rural Kansas. Mercer was born in Kansas City, Mo., and moved as a child with her family to Lenexa, graduating in 2014 from Shawnee Mission West High School.

“I basically grew up

in northwest Missouri where my family is from,” she said. “I spent a lot of time outdoors hunting and fishing. I learned outdoor skills doing that with my dad and uncles.”

The skills were helpful on the island, although Mercer said there wasn’t any big game to hunt.

Living off the land meant catching crabs and fish, she said, adding that she dropped a few pounds during her island stay.

“Not as much as I’d have liked,” she said.

“I wasn’t gorging on hamburgers two or three times a week, so I dropped a few pounds.

That is probably not a bad thing.”

Mercer moved to Lawrence to attend the

... I’m pleased to hear that given her business and lack of time to commit to the responsibility, that she did choose to resign.”

— School board member Vanessa Sanburn

On Friday afternoon, however, she submitted a resignation letter to Superintendent Kyle Hayden that cited her “growing responsibilities” in her family’s tech startup business as one of several reasons behind her departure.

Most recently, she said, those responsibilities entailed business meetings in San Francisco (where her husband and business partner, Josh Montgomery, now works full-time) that conflicted with her school board schedule.

“During our first week in San Francisco I asked to join the school board via teleconference, but my request was denied by the (board) president,” Adair said in her resignation letter. “Without the ability to participate remotely I’m unable to serve our constituents and participate fully in board activities.”

School board president Marcel Harmon, however, called that statement a “misunderstanding” of their actual exchange.

“That’s Harmon not the conversation we had. I was just concerned with

“It wasn’t a winnertake-all,” Mercer said in an interview that included MTV publicist Jason Shumaker. “It’s a completely different game than ‘Survivor.’ The only way to leave or go home is if you decide you don’t want to be there. There are other aspects of the game that makes it more difficult than sitting around the campfire singing ‘Kumbaya’ all night.”

Like many reality shows, teamwork and alliances were important, Mercer said.

“Absolutely. Your

Greyhound CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Greyhound was not receptive to that amount, indicating it was significantly more than it typically pays for a stop.

At the Lawrence City Commission’s meeting on Tuesday, Mayor Leslie Soden suggested the other area on Vermont Street, which would utilize open curb space and potentially one parking stall.

Greyhound provides service to Lawrence three times a day — at 8:55 a.m., 1:55 p.m. and 5:50 p.m.

— on its route between Topeka and Kansas City, and connects to thousands of cities across the country.

The original proposal to use an area near the library as a bus stop came from Brad Allen, the library’s director, who said it would allow bus riders convenient access to shelter, rest­rooms and computers to print tickets.

Allen said since making the proposal, he has heard some concerns from the community about the library “becoming a bus depot.” However, he noted that lots of people, not just bus riders, already use the library to print tickets or other documents, and that the library is meant to serve the community.

“Most people who are leaving from Lawrence on a bus, I would guess a lot of them are Lawrence

residents or students, and we serve them,” Allen said. “We serve everybody.”

Allen also said he didn’t anticipate the relatively small ridership on Greyhound would make much of an impact on the library. Greyhound representatives have said the Lawrence stop serves about 3,000 arrivals and departures per year, and Allen pointed out that’s only about eight people per day on average.

He said the potential loss of parking, at least during the day, would be a more contentious issue.

“To me, I think the biggest problem is just how the public is going to stomach four parking spots at Seventh and Vermont sitting empty,” Allen said, though he noted it could be possible to allow parking in the evening if the city elects to use that area for the stop.

The negotiations between the city and Greyhound follow 14 months of the bus service using city property as its stop free of charge while it attempted to find a permanent stop.

On Tuesday, the City Commission voted for the fifth time to extend the agreement for Greyhound to use the city’s rightof-way at East Sixth and New Hampshire streets, this time until March 14.

However, commissioners indicated that was the final deadline for Greyhound to make other arrangements.

Predator CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

He was transferred there after completing his sentence for aggravated indecent solicitation of a 12-year-old girl in Saline County in 1996, according to information on the state’s offender registry website.

Kansas is one of several states that allow the continued confinement of people convicted of certain crimes, even after they have served their prison term for a sexually violent crime, if it’s determined they have a mental condition that would make them a danger to the public if they are released.

Under one provision of that law, however, those inmates are entitled to an annual review to determine whether they are eligible to be placed in a “transitional release” program.

Those evaluations also are supposed to be reviewed by the district court that committed the inmate as a sexually violent predator.

In Griffin’s case, the court said, there was no judicial review of his evaluations in four of the first six years of his confinement, even though the hospital had conducted the evaluations.

— City Hall reporter Rochelle Valverde However, in Janucan be reached at 832-6314. Follow ary 2016, after his sevher on Twitter: @RochelleVerde enth evaluation, Griffin’s

attorney announced that after reviewing the evaluations, Griffin no longer wished to seek transitional release related to his sixth and seventh evaluations.

Instead, Griffin argued that his commitment was vacated in 2010 when the Saline County District Court failed to review his first evaluation, and that he had been unlawfully confined since that date.

In a 23-page opinion, Judges G. Joseph Pierron Jr., G. Gordon Atcheson and Karen Arnold-Burger said they were “deeply troubled by the general lack of attention by the district court to the periodic review component of due process for persons confined” under the Sexually Violent Predator Act. “We are also troubled by the difficulty of obtaining any meaningful remedy for such inaction” under the normal legal process.

The court also suggested that the Kansas Legislature clarify the law to make it more specific about exactly when the annual reviews should take place.

But in Griffin’s case, the court said, the proper answer was not to grant him unconditional release, especially since he had not challenged subsequent evaluations and orders that said he still posed a danger to the general public.

School board member Shannon Kimball expressed similar sentiments to the JournalWorld on Friday. She called Adair’s letter a “widely inaccurate” mischaracterization of both Adair’s intentions and the actions of the board.

She’s also looking forward to finding Adair’s replacement, details of which will be discussed at Monday’s school board meeting, Kimball said.

K i m ball did say that the school board will soon start its search for a new Kimball b o a r d member to serve the remainder of Adair’s term, which she said will run through late December or early January at the latest.

Kimball hopes to have the position filled by the end of March.

BRIEFLY 1-vehicle crash sends man to trauma center A Lawrence man was flown to an area trauma center as the result of a one-vehicle accident Friday evening, police said.

Sgt. Troy Squire with the Lawrence Police Department said Galen Morrison, 44, was headed westbound near the 600 block of West 25th Street at 7:30 p.m. Friday when he struck a parked car.

Morrison’s vehicle rolled onto its side and he had to be extracted, Squire said. There were no passengers in the car with him.

Squire said police did not yet know whether alcohol was a factor in the accident or whether Morrison was wearing his seatbelt.

“We are currently conducting an alcohol investigation coinciding with the accident investigation,” Squire said.

Squire said he did not know Morrison’s condition as of 10:15 p.m. Friday, but he said Morrison was communicating with officers on the scene.

The accident is considered one-vehicle because only one car was in motion at the time of the crash, Squire said.

Judge dismisses portion of ex-KU rower’s Title IX suit

By Sara Shepherd sshepherd@ljworld.com

A federal judge on Friday dismissed part of a lawsuit accusing the University of Kansas of violating Title IX in handling a former rower’s report of being raped on campus by a football player.

The key accusation that won’t go forward in court is Daisy Tackett’s allegation that KU was institutionally liable for her rape before it occurred.

Leaning on a precedentsetting Title IX case, Simpson v. Univ. of Colorado Boulder, Tackett alleged KU should have known there was a heightened risk of sexual assault at Jayhawker Towers apartments, where football players live with less supervision than residence halls.

She also argued that KU required

female rowers to go to football games and cheer for the players and encouraged the women to attend off-campus parties with football recruits.

Tackett “But these alleged policies played no part in plaintiff’s rape,” Judge J. Thomas Marten, in U.S. District Court in Kansas City, Kan., wrote in dismissing the claim and disputing its likeness to the Simpson case, which involved a university-funded program to show recruits “a good time.” “... There are no allegations that the Halloween party or the gathering at the Towers were university-sponsored or sanctioned, or that KU somehow encouraged the misconduct.”

Further, Marten wrote, Tackett’s allegation that KU should have known of a heightened risk of assault at Jayhawker Towers is “based on the stereotypical assumption that football players are more prone to commit sexual assault.”

Tackett, after withdrawing from the university, first sued KU in March 2016.

She was a freshman in fall 2014 when, she said in her lawsuit, after a Halloween party, a football player raped her in his apartment at KU’s Jayhawker Towers.

Tackett reported the rape to KU a year later, in October 2015, after another rower told her she’d been assaulted by the same man. Tackett did not file a police report.

“We are pleased the court has dismissed significant portions of this lawsuit,” KU spokeswoman Erinn Barcomb-Peterson said, in

a statement sent via email. “Moving forward, we are confident the court will agree we’ve fulfilled our obligations to Ms. Tackett.”

Tackett’s attorney, Dan Curry, said that Tackett and her parents were ready to continue the court process.

“On the whole, we are pleased that the case has been allowed to proceed,” Curry said, in an email.

“We are excited to begin discovery. We disagree (with the) court’s ruling on the Simpson liability theory, and we may appeal that decision down the road.”

KU had previously requested that the whole case be thrown out.

Marten said, in Friday’s filing, that he would allow other portions of Tackett’s suit to move forward, including claims that KU was “deliberately indifferent” to her rape report, that her rowing coach made

inappropriate comments about rowers’ body types and that the coach retaliated against her after she reported her rape to KU. “At this stage, the court is not concerned with whether plaintiff will ultimately prevail, but whether she is entitled to offer evidence to support that claim,” Marten wrote, regarding the deliberate indifference claim.

“Plaintiff has pled sufficient facts to allow her to offer evidence to support this claim even if recovery might appear remote on the face of the pleadings.”

Also on Friday, Marten agreed to allow Tackett to amend her lawsuit for a second time, adding information about the football player’s transcript and eventual transfer to another university, according to

Gardeners of all skill levels welcome Court: Open records law affects company running public hospital at today’s Kaw Valley Seed Fair

By Peter Hancock

By Joanna Hlavacek jhlavacek@ljworld.com

Master gardeners and horticulture newbies alike are invited to this weekend’s installment of the annual Kaw Valley Seed Fair, slated for 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. today at the Douglas County Fairgrounds, 2110 Harper St. Now in its eighth year, the free event is expected to draw upwards of 1,000 people to the fairgrounds for a day of sustainability-focused seed sharing, educational demonstrations, kids’ activities, raffle prizes and more. Visitors can also purchase vegetarian fare from The Purple Carrot Co-op throughout the day.

Trina McClure, one of the organizers behind this year’s event, credits the Seed Fair’s enduring popularity, at least partially, to its accessibility for gardeners of all experience levels.

“We always see that ‘I’ve never done this’ anxiety. There’s something so intimidating about the idea of growing a plant,” McClure says. Luckily, more than 25 area exhibitors, including the Douglas County Extension

Master Gardeners, will be on hand today to help ease those anxieties with a little knowledge and friendly conversation.

“They want people to grow gardens, whether they’re flower gardens or vegetable gardens or landscaping or container gardens, or just having house plants,” McClure says.

A key component of the fair is education, and organizers like McClure believe knowledge comes from sharing ideas, advice and resources. The big draw each year is the seed exchange, for which guests are asked to bring their own excess seeds to swap with others, in addition to books, videos, catalogs and other seedsaving resources.

But even those without seeds are welcome to join in, McClure says. Envelopes and containers for storing the goodies are always recommended, but never required, at the seed swap table.

“You don’t have to bring something, but we do want to encourage this sense of coming together, in all these small ways, to share something,” McClure says.

McClure is one of only

a handful of organizers behind the fair, which she says has maintained a high turnout over the years, thanks in part to what she describes as the Lawrence community’s “deeper attachment to food.” And also, she adds, knowing where and how our food is produced.

Local businesses pledge each year to help promote the event, for which there’s very little spent on advertising, McClure says. Local artists chip in, too, creating a poster for the fair each year — this time around, it’s Douglas County teen Wil Myslivy.

Community members gathered for a “coloring party” last month to add their personal touches to copies of his poster, which were later distributed to local businesses and public sites around town.

“All of these little pieces come together, and we wouldn’t be able to do it if we didn’t have people coming together and helping in their own little ways,” McClure says.

Topeka — The Kansas Court of Appeals said Friday that financial records of a county-owned hospital are subject to the Kansas Open Records Act, even if the hospital is administered on contract by an outside nonprofit corporation.

The case involved the Kiowa County Memorial Hospital in Greensburg. In 2001, the hospital’s board signed a lease agreement with Great Plains of Kiowa County Inc. to administer the hospital.

Great Plains, which was formed for the sole purpose of operating the Kiowa County Hospital, is a subsidiary of Great Plains Health Alliance Inc., another nonprofit corporation, but the court noted the two entities have identical officers and directors.

Kiowa County levies a tax to support the hospital, but the hospital also receives revenue from federal grants, the state of Kansas and from patients or their insurers.

Each year, according to the court’s decision, Great Plains would present the county commission with bottom-line numbers showing the hospital’s revenues and expenses, and

— Reporter Joanna Hlavacek can be reached at 832-6388. Follow her on Twitter: @HlavacekJoanna

would submit a request for the amount of tax subsidy it would need the following year.

From 2011 to 2014, according to the court’s opinion, Great Plains asked for steadily increasing support from the county to cover a larger and larger share of the hospital’s overall cost of operations.

In October 2014, the Kiowa County Commission filed an open records request with the Great Plains board of directors, seeking documents about the hospital’s budget and vouchers for payments for professional and management fees, as well as information about the salaries and titles of administrative or executive employees of Great Plains and registrations for any vehicles the company operated.

Great Plains denied that request, claiming it was not a public entity subject to the Open Records Act. It argued that it only leased the hospital and that the records request should be filed with the hospital’s board of trustees.

The county responded, saying it had already contacted the hospital board and was advised that the hospital board did

not have the records but Great Plains did.

The county sued, and the Kiowa County District Court sided with the commission saying the documents the county sought were open public records. It also fined Great Plains $500 for violating the Open Records Act. Great Plains appealed, but the Kansas Court of Appeals on Friday affirmed the lower court ruling and sided with the county.

“The (hospital) Board cannot hide its records by delegating the operations to GPKC and violate its statutory duty to maintain adequate financial records pertaining to the operations of the County-created hospital,” the court said. “By assuming the role as the sole operator of the hospital on behalf of the Board, GPKC’s operating records are deemed to be public records.”

The opinion was written by Judge G. Joseph Pierron Jr. and joined by Judges Anthony J. Powell and Stephen D. Hill.

Photograph: Wolkenengel1565 © A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. (John 13:34-35) …would Jesus give His disciples a command He knew they couldn’t keep? The answer is obviously no, so why is it so hard for us today to love other people? Could it be this simple—we can’t give what we don’t have?…God’s love has never been or ever will be conditional…When you understand how much God loves you, it becomes easy to love others. And when you love others as He has loved you, your behavior will change toward them. If you loved your mate the way that Christ loves you—unconditionally—you would never commit adultery. If you loved your neighbor as Christ loves you, you would never steal from them or bear false witness against them.

Shopping center to downsize retail space ENGAGEMENTS I

’m sure we’ve all been in this situation: You’re halfway through your weekly shopping trip and realize you should have rented the full-size semitrailer instead of the large UHaul. Well, maybe one Lawrence shopping center is trying to address that common problem. It has filed plans to convert part of its retail space into storage units and to add several more in a portion of its parking lot.

Perhaps that is not the exact situation the Southern Hills Shopping Center is trying to address, but the shopping center at the corner of 23rd and Ousdahl indeed has filed plans to convert a significant portion of its space into self-storage units.

If you are having a hard time picturing it, the center is the one that houses King Buffet, Pizza Shuttle, The Salvation Army Store, Aaron’s and several other smaller businesses. But the shopping center also has some vacant space, and the Prairie Village-based group that owns the center plans to convert about 30,000 square feet of vacant space in the eastern end of the center into climate-controlled storage space. A good portion of that space is where Pinnacle Career Institute is located currently, but Pinnacle will be leaving soon (see more on this below).

The more noticeable change, though, is what would happen in the parking lot on the south side of the building, the side facing 24th Street. Plans call for much of the parking lot to be occupied by five new self-storage buildings totaling about 22,000 square feet. Technically, the plan calls the buildings “mini warehouses.”

(I once labeled my garage a mini warehouse as part of a plan to convince my wife to let me buy a forklift. It would have worked, too, if the neighbors hadn’t filed that restraining order.)

The plans call for about 280 rental spaces in the mini warehouses.

No word yet on a timeline for the project. It must still win site plan approval from Lawrence City Hall. Lawrence’s BG Consultants has filed the plans. A representative with that company said a firm timeline for the project to begin had not been determined.

The property is owned by a group led by longtime Kansas City area developer Mark Ledom.

No word yet on why the group is proposing the

Town Talk

Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

change to the center. The center, though, is near a high-density neighborhood to the south that may have some self-storage needs. Plus, self storage seems to be a niche that is gaining some momentum. Plans also have been filed recently to expand the self-storage business that is near 31st and Ousdahl.

Pinnacle leaving Lawrence Lawrence and Douglas County are the capital of higher education in Kansas, as evidenced by the presence of three universities, a campanile and several houses that make the bell tower sound like a quiet library.

There is news, though, that Lawrence is losing one provider of higher education.

Pinnacle Career Institute has announced that it will close its Lawrence facility this summer.

Rebecca Clothier, executive director of the Lawrence branch of Pinnacle, said the ownership of the educational company decided that it no longer made sense to locate two campuses in the Kansas City area and one in Lawrence. The Lawrence facility will close in July after current students finish their classwork.

“It is sad for us,” Clothier said. “I have been at this campus for quite a while. Times are changing, though, with online education and flex education.”

Clothier said the Lawrence campus has about 100 students at any given time. According to its website, Pinnacle offers a variety of programs in medical, health and fitness, alternative energy and construction trades.

The pending closure will end a long history the company has had in Lawrence. The company has operated under the Pinnacle name since 2001, Clothier said. But previously the company operated in Lawrence as CTBI, which I think had been in operation in Lawrence since the 1980s.

ANNIVERSARY REYNOLDS 50TH ANNIVERSARY

Sharon and Bill Reynolds are happy to announce their 50th wedding anniversary.

They were married at Highland Park UMC in Topeka, February 11, 1967, by the Rev. Virgil Brady who noted it was the first real marriage he officiated as a minis­ ter.

Sharon is the former owner of Broers Flower Shop in Eudora and Owens Flower Shop in Lawrence. She still enjoys working part­time at Owens; and is also a board member for the Lawrence Hidden Val­ ley Committee. Bill re­ tired as the Lawrence Postmaster in 2003 after a 36 year career with the postal Service.

He was a volunteer at Eagle Bend until 2015; and is a member of the Breakfast Optimist

Sharon and Bill Reynolds

Club and the board for Warm Hearts of Douglas County.

Bill & Sharon have two children, Cris Bandle (Jeff) Lawrence and Greg Reynolds (Angie) Overland Park; and six grandchildren.

They will celebrate with a family dinner on the 11th and an an­ niversary trip to New Zealand and Australia later in the year. They want to sincerely thank the family and friends who helped make their marriage a success.

In the summer of 1951, she wore a blue striped swimsuit as she enjoyed her quiet solitude while sitting on the end of a dock on Gull Lake in north central Minnesota.

He, taking a weekend break with some football team mates, roared by in a speed­ boat and nearly broke his neck as he tried to get a closer look at the beautiful girl sit­ ting on the end of the dock.

After a de­ termined courtship, Pamela Counsellor and Dolph Simons were joyously mar­ ried in Rochester, Minnesota on Febru­ ary 7, 1952 in a fierce snow storm.

Their wedding was held at Calvary Epis­ copal Church nestled beside the Mayo Clinic, with a recep­ tion following at the home of her parents, Dr. Virgil S. and Mrs. Gladys Counsellor.

After the wedding, they began their mar­ riage with a road trip to California as Dolph continued his military service with the United States Marine Corps at El Toro Marine Air Sta­ tion. After their ten­ ure in California, Pam and Dolph re­ turned to Lawrence, with employment stints for newspapers in London, England and Johannesburg, South Africa.

Pam and Dolph are the proud parents of their four children, Pamela A. Simons of Fort Collins, Color­ ado, Linda S. de Menocal (married to Daniel C.) of Bed­ ford, New York, Dolph C. Simons III (married to Lisa M.) of Lawrence, and Dan C. Simons (married to Trisha L.), also of Lawrence. The joys of their lives are their 8 grandchildren: Emily de Menocal of McLean, Virginia, Crosby de Menocal of Lenexa, Jane de Menocal of East Greenwich, Rhode Island, Briahn Si­ mons of Fort Collins, Colorado, Dan Si­ mons, Jr. of Lawrence, Kate Si­ mons of Lawrence, Elizabeth Simons of Charleston, South Carolina and Whit­ ney Simons attending SMU in Dallas, Texas. In their pray­ ers, they give thanks for every day of the short life of their much­loved grand­ daughter, Jennifer Si­ mons.

Over the years, they have both been active in supporting many worthy causes within the com­ munity and for Kan­ sas University.

On Tuesday, they celeb­ rated their 65th wed­ ding anniversary with their family.

Baldwin City Chocolate Auction to return Sunday for 29th year

V

alentine’s Day is for lovers. For the past three decades in Baldwin City, it also has been for lovers of chocolate and art. The 29th annual Chocolate Auction will start at 12:30 p.m.

Sunday at the Lumberyard Arts Center, 718 High St. The event has served as a last-minute option to pick up gifts for significant others and a fundraiser for the local community art organization since former Baker University art department head Tom Russell and his wife, Alice Anne Callahan Russell, a Baker music professor, brought the auction to the community. The couple had witnessed a similar auction during a visit to Tom Russell’s son in South Dakota.

The tradition’s current manifestation traces to 2010 when the local arts council morphed into the Lumberyard Arts

Area Roundup

Center Board of Directors with the opening of the restored arts center.

Lumberyard President Laura Dickinson said the annual auction continues to benefit from the willingness of local cooks and artists to provide the event with the results of their kitchen and studio talents. Available to the highest bidder Sunday will be drawings, paintings, ceramics, photographs,

fabric arts, woodworking, stained glass, as well as pies, cookies, candies, fresh flowers and other gifts for Valentine’s Day. All proceeds benefit the Lumberyard Arts Center Scholarship Fund as well as other Arts Center activities throughout the year. Different items will be offered at a children’s auction and silent auction starting at 12:30 p.m.

At 2 p.m. the live auction will start with auctioneer Lester Edgecomb running the ring.

Those with treats or art to donate for the auction can deliver them to the Lumberyard from 9 a.m. to noon today and from 9 to 11:30 a.m. Sunday. l l l

When he planned Saturday’s Family Fun Night, Eudora Parks and Recreation Director Gary Scott assumed there would be cold weather on the

mid-February date.

“There’s going to be record-breaking high temperatures,” he said. “We thought there would be cool weather, everybody would be ready to get out of the house. That’s OK. It will be a good night of free family entertainment.”

The two hours of planned activities should still be attractive to Eudora families, Scott said.

The evening will start with a 35-to 40-minute performance from Olathe magician Eric Vaughn, he said. When that concludes, the gymnasium will be opened for the rest of the evening. Scott said gym activities will include bounce houses, games, balloon making, face painting and free hot dogs, snacks and drinks. l l l

Eudora’s restaurant options shrank with the recent closing of the Cosmic

Ale House and Grill, 601 E. 10th St., and the Fork, 826 Main St. The latter location may not be closed for long. Assistant to the City Manager Leslie Herring said the city has fielded calls for several parties interested in the location on the south end of downtown. Mellissa Dake and Matthew Houser opened the Fork in March 2016 after being aided by a $3,000 downtown grant from the city. l l l

The Baldwin City Chamber of Commerce and the city government will give residents the opportunity to learn more and voice opinions on economic development issues at Last Wednesday gatherings planned for the next three months.

Chamber Executive Director Jeannette Blackmar said there would be three “civic engagement

opportunities” from 8 to 9 a.m. the last Wednesday of February, March and April at Homestead Kitchen and Bakery, 719 Eighth St. The gatherings will start with an about 15-minute presentation from a city staff member, followed by a chance for citizens to express their thoughts on topics.

Drinks and snacks will be available at the meetings, Blackmar said.

The first session will be Feb. 22 and start with a state-of-the-city address from City Administrator Glenn Rodden. City Community Development Director Ed Courton will speak March 29 on city development incentives, and Rodden and Courton will speak April 26 on “What is Growth?”

Will GOP end love affair with deficits?

Republicans were once married to balanced budgets and conservative money management, but now they have run off with something new: the seduction of tax cuts and budget deficits. They try to cover up the truth about their new relationship by cooking the books.

Kansas’ own Dwight Eisenhower would be appalled.

Eisenhower presided over the last period when the U.S. ran budget surpluses for several years in a row. To fund this, the top tax rate for some highearning Americans exceeded 90 percent. When President Kennedy backed legislation to drop that rate to around 70 percent, Eisenhower spoke against it, arguing that it would explode the deficit. A few decades later, President Reagan commissioned the W.R. Grace Commission Report, the first of a long series of warnings, reminding Americans to prepare for the impending (now current) retirement of the Baby Boomer generation, which would create (is creating) a demographic bulge straining Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid — particularly long-term care — and the nation’s overall health care system.

Then, Republicans ditched

Michael Smith

“

Now President Trump proposes massive public works projects (including the border wall), plus cuts to top tax rates. Trump’s signature phrase perfectly describes the accompanying deficit increase: It is going to be huge.”

predictable old deficit-reduction policies for the sexy appeal of tax cuts and deficits: the real priority of Reagan, the second President Bush and many congressional Republicans from the 1980s onward.

Since Sam Brownback was elected governor in 2010, they have brought their new love to

Kansas. Once, moderate Republicans like Robert Bennett, Mike Hayden and Bill Graves proudly presided over conservatively managed, balanced budgets. Today, Kansas’ budget is balanced in name only: Trust funds have been drained, future payments leveraged and highway bonds misused to create the illusion of a balanced budget that may technically pass legal muster but that will spell disaster down the road.

Honestly, the thrill is gone.

Now President Trump proposes massive public works projects (including the border wall), plus cuts to top tax rates.

Trump’s signature phrase perfectly describes the accompanying deficit increase: It is going to be huge.

Some economists like Arthur Laffer argue that tax cuts stimulate enough economic growth to pay for themselves: Lower rates on a broadening base produce more revenue than higher rates on a small base. Alas, this only works when taxes are particularly high beforehand, as with the Kennedy-era cut.

When they are not, disaster ensues, as we have learned in Kansas.

Critics counter by stating, “We have a spending problem,

not a taxing problem.” Granted, dollar-for-dollar, government spending keeps rising, but this is misleading. Most federal dollars are already committed to entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare or to interest on the national debt.

At the state level resides another pernicious problem: The costs of providing government services increase each year.

Teachers and other government employees are not receiving more generous benefits.

Rather, the cost of providing the same benefits goes up substantially each year, mainly due to those increasing health care and retirement costs. This has not been a problem until recently — budget estimates factoring in these rising costs are readily available from the Legislature’s own nonpartisan staff (but legislators may ignore them).

The anti-Brownback Republicans elected in 2016 are sounding some rather Eisenhower-like talk about a return to responsible budgeting. But, can they give up their party’s love affair with deficit spending?

— Michael A. Smith is a professor of political science at Emporia State University.

Trump’s travel ban: A hopeless disaster Washington — Stupid but legal.

Such is the Trump administration’s travel ban for people from seven Muslim countries. Of course, as with almost everything in American life, what should be a policy or even a moral issue becomes a legal one. The judicial challenge should have been given short shrift, since the presidential grant of authority to exclude the entry of aliens is extremely wide and statutorily clear. The judge who issued the temporary restraining order never even made a case for its illegality.

The Ninth Circuit has indeed ruled against the immigration ban, but even if the ban is ultimately vindicated in the courts (as is likely), that doesn’t change the fact that it makes for lousy policy. It began life as a barstool eruption after the San Bernardino massacre when Donald Trump proposed a total ban on Muslims entering the country “until our country’s representatives can figure out what the hell is going on.”

Rudy Giuliani says he was tasked with cleaning up this idea. Hence the executive order suspending entry of citizens from the seven countries while the vetting process is reviewed and tightened.

The core idea makes sense. These are failed, essentially ungovernable states (except for Iran) where reliable data is hard to find. But the moratorium was unnecessary and damaging.

Its only purpose was to fulfill an illconsidered campaign promise.

It caused enormous disruption without making us any safer. What was the emergency that compelled us to turn away people already in the air with already approved visas for entry to the U.S.?

President Trump said he didn’t want to give any warning. Otherwise, he tweeted, “the ‘bad’ would rush into our country. ... A lot of bad ‘dudes’ out there!”

Rush? Not a single American has ever been killed in a terror attack in this country by a citizen from the notorious seven. The killers have come from precisely those countries not listed: Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Lebanon, Pakistan and Kyrgyzstan (the Tsarnaev brothers). The notion that we had to act immediately because hordes of jihadists in these seven countries were about to board airplanes to blow up Americans is absurd.

Vetting standards could easily have been revised and tightened without the moratorium and its attendant disruptions, stupidities, random cruelties and well-deserved bad press.

The moratorium turned into a distillation of the worst aspects of our current airport-security system, which everyone knows to be 95 percent pantomime. The pat-down of the 80-year-old grandmother does nothing to make us safer. Its purpose is to give the illusion of doing something. Similarly, during the

Charles Krauthammer letters@charleskrauthammer.com

brief Trump moratorium, a cavalcade of innocent and indeed sympathetic characters — graduate students, separated family members, returning doctors and scientists — were denied entry. You saw this and said to yourself: We are protecting ourselves from these?

If anything, the spectacle served to undermine Trump’s case for extreme vigilance and wariness of foreigners entering the United States.

There is already empirical evidence.

A Nov. 23 Quinnipiac poll found a 6-point majority in favor of “suspending immigration from ‘terror prone’ regions”; a Feb. 7 poll found a 6-point majority against. The same poll found a whopping 44-point majority opposed to “suspending all immigration of Syrian refugees to the U.S. indefinitely.”

Then there is the opportunity cost of the whole debacle. It risks alienating the leaders of even nonaffected Muslim countries — the 57-member Organization of Islamic Cooperation expressed “grave concern” — which may deter us from taking far more real and effective anti-terror measures. The administration was intent on declaring the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization, a concrete measure that would hamper the operations of a global Islamist force. In the current atmosphere, however, that declaration is reportedly being delayed and rethought.

Add to that the costs of the illprepared, unvetted, sloppy rollout.

Consider the discordant, hostile message sent to loyal law-abiding Muslim-Americans by the initial denial of entry to green card holders. And the ripple effect of the initial denial of entry to those Iraqis who risked everything to help us in our war effort.

In future conflicts, this will inevitably weigh upon local Muslims deciding whether to join and help our side. Actions have consequences.

In the end, what was meant to be a piece of promise-keeping, toughon-terror symbolism has become an oxygen-consuming distraction. This is a young administration with a transformative agenda to enact. At a time when it should be pushing and promoting deregulation, tax reform and health care transformation, it has steered itself into a pointless cul-de-sac — where even winning is losing.

WASHINGTON President Trump said Friday he’s considering a new executive order on refugees as soon as Monday or Tuesday, even as his administration mulls an appeal of a court decision suspending his previous order barring travelers from seven majority Muslim countries.

“We will win that battle,” Trump said of the court fight.

“We also have a lot of other options, including just filing a brand new order.”

The shifting White House strategy marked the beginning of a third weekend of chaotic developments on the travel ban, which has stranded air travelers and led to nationwide protests and legal challenges.

After a three-judge panel refused to reinstate the ban on Thursday, the next stop would or-

dinarily be the Supreme Court.

But a potential roadblock emerged late Thursday when a judge on the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco asked for the case to be heard by the full appeals court, setting a deadline of next Thursday for arguments on that question.

Trump, speaking Friday to reporters on Air Force One, suggested that a new executive order

would be the most expedient route. “We need speed for reasons of security,” he said. The new order would include new security measures, Trump said. “We have very, very strong vetting. I call it extreme vetting and we’re going very strong on security. We are going to have people coming to our country that want to be here for good reason.”

Washington state sued to block provisions of the order temporarily barring Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen nationals from U.S. travel.

IRAQ After pleading with Iraqi soldiers to let him pass through a checkpoint and proceed to his neighborhood in eastern Mosul, Ahmed Al Ta’ee finally reached home.

No one was expecting him, not even his wife. When he called out to her and his two daughters, they were too afraid to answer. He found them huddled in a back room.

“I was the happiest person on earth,” Al Ta’ee, 32, said in a phone interview. “It was a sur-

prise. I didn’t tell them about my visit.”

As Iraqi forces retook control of eastern Mosul — Iraq’s secondlargest city, under the brutal grip of the Islamic State since June 2014 — families such as the Al Ta’ees separated by fighting are reuniting, or trying to.

About 30,000 people have returned to Mosul since Iraqi forces launched an offensive in October to take back the city, the United Nations reported. That number has grown since the eastern part of the city was liberated in late January, sometimes overwhelming checkpoints into the city and the stringent security v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

Knock off from work a little early? Sure, it’s good for you

Study : 39 hours is a perfect schedule Matthew Diebel USATODAY

No wonder we’re envious.

The French say employees should work 35 hours a week.

Brits tend to be at their desks for 37.5 hours. Meanwhile, Americans typically spend 47 hours a week at work.

Now, researchers have found the perfect number: 39 hours, according to a study from the

Australian National University.

“Long work hours erode a person’s mental and physical health because it leaves less time to eat well and look after themselves properly,” said lead researcher Huong Dinh from the university’s research school of population health.

Shortening the number of hours is particular important for women, the study found.

“They spend much more time on care and domestic work,” Dinh said.

The study, which looked at a sample of Australians ages 24 to 65, even advocates women should work 34 hours per week

once home-based chores are considered. The healthy limit for men was up to 47 hours because they spend less time on care or domestic work.

“Given the extra demands placed on women, it’s impossible for women to work long hours often expected by employers unless they compromise their health,” Dinh said.

Senate clears Price as HHS secretary Seven-term congressman-surgeon joins President Trump’s team on party-line vote Jayne O’Donnell and Kim Hjelmgaard USA TODAY

The Senate approved a leading critic of the Affordable Care Act to be the nation’s top health official early Friday, following a heated debate over his potential ethics violations and his conservative policy positions.

Rep. Tom Price, 62, an orthopedic surgeon and seven-term Republican from Atlanta, was President Trump’s pick to head the Department of Health and Human Services.

Price, who opposes abortion and federal funding of Planned Parenthood, is expected to loosen ACA regulations and to work with Congress to overhaul the law.

Senators confirmed his nomination by a strictly party-line 5247 vote after a debate that lasted until nearly 2 a.m. ET. Price’s supporters in Congress have touted him as about the most capable person possible to be HHS secretary. As the former chairman of the House Budget Committee, Price “has a thorough understanding of health care policy and the damage that Obamacare has caused.”

“He can see the view from the doctor’s office as well as from the lawmaker’s office and will be an excellent partner as Congress works to rescue Americans trapped in the failing Obamacare system and to build better health care systems,” Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., said in a statement Friday.

Democrats view Price as a polarizing figure with a controversial history of trading health care stocks and whose policies will snatch insurance coverage from Americans, many of whom got health coverage for the first time in their lives.

But the law also raised premiums dramatically in many parts of the country, particularly Arizona and North Carolina. These rate hikes hit middle class and wealthier consumers the hardest as they aren’t eligible for tax credits and subsidies that reduce out of pocket costs.

Insurers are among those looking for regulatory relief.

“We will work to ensure a smooth transition to a better, more competitive private marketplace with minimal disruption for our members,” Scott Serota, CEO of Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association of America, said in a statement. “We share the

Democrats fear that HHS Secretary Tom Price’s policies will cause many Americans to lose their health insurance coverage.

goals of making sure people can access the coverage and care they need in a healthcare system that gives consumers the coverage choices they want at a price they can afford, and puts patients at the center of their care.”

Republicans are finding repealing and replacing the law has proven more difficult than expected, especially as constituents and interest groups protest the effect a loss of coverage would have. And Price embodies many of those fears.

Democrats also worry that he

will make changes to Medicare and Medicaid, health programs that assist low-income families.

Price’s positions are particularly threatening to women’s health, says Debra Ness, president of the National Partnership for Women and Families.

“His opposition to contraceptive coverage and abortion care harms women whose access to the full range of reproductive and preventive health services is critical not only to their health and well-being but also to their ability to pursue an education, hold jobs, achieve economic security and function as free and equal members of society,” said Ness.

Price’s preference for limiting women’s access to free birth control is “not only wrong, it’s arrogant,” said Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H. “He seems to have no higher priority than to terminate health coverage for millions of people,” she added.

Republicans see Price as a knowledgeable leader who will help obstruct President Obama’s health care policy that extended insurance coverage for millions.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said Price “knows more about health care policy than just about anyone.”

He said Price would help “bring stability to health care markets that Obamacare has harmed.”

checks. Al Ta’ee said he was lucky to cross into the city. He hadn’t seen his wife and two daughters for about 21⁄2 years. His youngest child was a week old when he and his son, Hamza, fled when the Islamic State took control.

Fearing the militant group would recruit and convert then-5-year-old Hamza into an extremist, the Al Ta’ee family fled Mosul in summer 2014, as did a half-million other people when the militants overwhelmed government forces.

But their escape did not go well. Al Ta’ee said Islamic State fighters took $5,000 and two mobile phones belonging to him, then threw him and Hamza in prison for a day. Before their release, the militants took their fingerprints and said they faced death if they tried again to escape “the land of the caliphate.”

He and his son returned home.

A month later, they fled again, this time leaving his wife and daughters behind in Mosul. They were safer in the city, he said, adding it was essential to get Hamza out of the militants’ reach. Al Ta’ee paid a smuggler to take him and his son to neighboring Syria. From there, they entered Turkey and stayed about Corrections & Clarifications USA TODAY is committed to accuracy.

11⁄2 years, desperately trying to get his wife and daughters to join them. But it was too dangerous to leave Mosul.

In March, Al Ta’ee joined an estimated 1 million refugees and migrants who crossed the Aegean Sea from Turkey to Greece last year. They reached Europe but did not make it past the GreekMacedonian border. After many cold nights camping in the Balkans, they returned to war-torn Iraq in June as the U.S.-assisted Iraqi army was retaking territory occupied by the Islamic State, also known as ISIL or ISIS. Mosul remained under the Islamic State’s control, so Al Ta’ee and his son stayed at an uncle’s house in Kirkuk, about 110 miles away, while Iraqi security forces launched their campaign to retake Mosul. It was the biggest military operation in Iraq since the U.S.-led invasion 13 years earlier.

The father and son later traveled to Irbil, in Iraqi Kurdistan, to find work, but they finally returned to Mosul as parts of the city were liberated.

“It was an indescribable feeling that I never experienced before,” a shocked Marwa Al Ta’ee, 27, said about seeing her husband and son after more than two years of separation. “I did not know if I should cry or laugh. I had not passed a single night without tears and without hearing the sound of bullets, bombs and fear.”

In liberated eastern Mosul, power outages are regular, along with phone and Internet service.

Schools are still shuttered. Islamic State fighters have shaved their beards to blend in with the rest of Mosul’s residents so they might evade — and ambush — the advancing Iraqi army.

No one dares venture out at night. That’s when “they (the Islamic State) can attack people,” Al Ta’ee said. “Islamic State members are sending drones to bomb people. That is the danger in Mosul now.”

The Al Ta’ee family is relatively safe for now in the eastern part of the city. But on the other side of the ancient Tigris River that splits Mosul — a once cosmopolitan community of Christians, Muslims and other religions — the battle against the militants still rages. Around 750,000 civilians live under the Islamic State in the western half of the city.

For Marwa Al Ta’ee and her family, the future in Iraq remains uncertain. They and 18 other family members moved into an uncle’s house in another district of eastern Mosul to avoid extremists who might have known them in their old neighborhood.

“Iraq is not safe. The Islamic State is following us, and I cannot go anywhere out of fear,” she said.

“How can we sleep and live peacefully? This is my only hope, to leave Iraq.”

KATYE BRIER, FOR KAISER HEALTH NEWS

“Breast cancer doesn’t seem to have a road map to cure. It’s just a damn sneaky disease,” says Marlene McCarthy, 73, with husband Joe.

New cancer drugs do little to help survival Many medications offer only marginal benefits, and often at a very high price Liz Szabo

Kaiser Health News

Marlene McCarthy’s breast cancer has grown relentlessly over the past seven years, spreading painfully through her bones and making it impossible to walk without a cane.

Although the 73-year-old knows there’s no cure, she’s frustrated that the Food and Drug Administration is approving cancer drugs without proof that they help patients live longer.

“That simply isn’t good enough,” said McCarthy, of Coventry, R.I. Pushed by patient advocates who want earlier access to medications, the Food and Drug Administration has approved a flurry of oncology drugs in recent years, giving some people a renewed sense of hope and an array of expensive new options. A few have been clear home runs, allowing patients with limited life expectancies to live for years.

Many more, however, have offered only marginal benefits, with no evidence that they improve survival or quality of life, said Dr. Vinay Prasad, assistant professor of medicine at the Oregon Health and Sciences University, who has written extensively about FDA approval for cancer drugs.

Overall cancer survival has barely changed over the past decade. The 72 cancer therapies approved from 2002 to 2014 gave patients only 2.1 more months of life than older drugs, according to a study in JAMA Otolaryngology– Head & Neck Surgery.

And those are the successes.

Two-thirds of cancer drugs approved in the past two years have no evidence showing that they extend survival at all, Prasad said.

The result: For every cancer patient who wins the lottery, there are many others who get little to no benefit.

“We are very concerned about the push to get more drugs approved, instead of effective drugs approved,” said Fran Visco, president of the National Breast Cancer Coalition.

Cancer drugs approved last year cost an average of $171,000 a year, according to the Center for Health Policy and Outcomes at New York’s Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Research shows that a medication’s price has no relationship to how well it works.

“We cannot have a system where drugs that may not even work are being sold for these amazingly crazy amounts of money,” said Zuckerman, president of the National Center for Health Research, a non-profit in Washington that aims to explain research to consumers.

The American Society of Clinical Oncology has set goals for new

Fran Visco, president of the National Breast Cancer Coalition.

In a November study published in JAMA Internal Medicine, researcher Diana Zuckerman looked at 18 approved cancer drugs that didn’t help patients live longer.

Only one had clear data showing that it improved patients’ lives, such as by relieving pain or fatigue.

Two drugs harmed quality of life, Zuckerman said.

“Our patients need drugs that provide the greatest possible benefit, particularly when you put that in the context of cost,” said Dr. Richard Schilsky, senior vice president and chief medical officer at the American Society of Clinical Oncology, which represents cancer specialists. “You begin to question what is the real value of a therapy when the benefit is small, the toxicity may be similar to a previous drug and the cost is much higher.”

cancer drugs of extending life or controlling tumors for at least 2.5 months, a relatively low bar because “it’s not very often that we come across a transformative treatment,” said Dr. Sham Mailankody, a myeloma specialist at Memorial Sloan Kettering.

Yet in a study published in September in JAMA Oncology, Mailankody found that only one in five cancer drugs approved from 2014 to 2016 met those standards.

Cancer is primarily a disease of aging; 59% of patients are over 65 and 30% are older than 75. Yet only 33% of cancer trial participants are over 65 and just 10% are over 75, a 2012 Journal of Clinical Oncology study found.

McCarthy said she was twice turned down for clinical trials because of her age.

Interest rate hike in March? It could happen Paul Davidson USA TODAY

Ho-hum. Another Federal Reserve meeting is slated for midMarch, but almost no one is expecting the central bank to raise interest rates again after lifting them in December for the first time in a year.

Don’t be so sure.

In a recent interview with Bloomberg TV, San Francisco Federal Reserve President John Williams suggested a March hike isn’t off the table. And Chicago Fed Chief Charles Evans, a dove who typically prefers to keep rates low to stimulate the economy, said he’s still forecasting two rate increases this year but could be comfortable with three.

In December, when the Fed lifted its benchmark rate for the

first time in a year, central bank policymakers raised their median forecast to three hikes in 2017, up from their estimate of two previously. Many economists say those moves will be backloaded to the second half of the year, when President Trump’s proposed fiscal stimulus could begin to juice growth. Fed fund futures give just a 9% chance of a rate increase in March but 50% odds for June.

Fed Chair Janet Yellen, though, also has said the generally falling unemployment rate, now at 4.8%, calls for pushing up rates to head off inflation as employers bid up wages to attract fewer available workers. And job growth last month was strong. A March increase would let the Fed spread out the three possible hikes through 2017. Her testimony before a Senate committee Tuesday and House panel Wednesday could clarify the outlook.

Musk, UAW bicker over conditions at Tesla plant Nathan Bomey @NathanBomey USA TODAY

The United Auto Workers union signaled Friday that it’s gathering support to unionize Tesla’s assembly plant in Fremont, Calif., after someone claiming to be an employee of the automaker publicly criticized the company over factory conditions.

The UAW confirmed Friday that Tesla workers “have approached the UAW, and we wel-

come them with open arms.”

The union said those workers included Jose Moran, who published a blog post Thursday on a site called Medium alleging that “preventable injuries happen often,” workers are forced into “excessive mandatory overtime,” dissent is stifled and compensation is inadequate.

He did not provide evidence, but his public call for a UAW chapter drew attention in automotive circles.

Tesla’s factory south of San Francisco is the only assembly plant owned by an established

RINGO H.W. CHIU, AP

Elon Musk called the accusations “morally outrageous.“

American automaker that is not unionized, in contrast to foreign automakers that have established

non-union plants in the USA. Tesla CEO Elon Musk disputed Moran’s claims in a Twitter message Thursday to tech blog Gizmodo. He wrote that mandatory overtime is limited, compensation is sufficient and the accusations are “morally outrageous.”

“Our understanding is that this guy was paid by the UAW to join Tesla and agitate for a union. He doesn’t really work for us, he works for the UAW,” Musk said without providing evidence.

The UAW shot back Friday: “Mr. Moran is not and has not been paid by the UAW. We would

hope that Tesla would apologize to their employee.”

Moran did not immediately respond to a USA TODAY message seeking comment Friday. A Tesla representative also did not respond to a request for comment.

Organizing the Tesla plant would amount to a major victory for the UAW, which has failed repeatedly to add a foreign auto plant to its roster of unionized factories.

UAW President Dennis Williams said in May that the plant’s workers “ought to have collective bargaining rights.”

Beyoncé, Lemonade The Recording Academy historically has been capricious in awarding its highest honor to an R&B/hip-hop album. In fact, the only two to manage that feat in the last two decades have been OutKast’s Speakerboxxx/The Love Below in 2004 and Lauryn Hill’s The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill in 1999.

But even with stiff competition from Adele’s pop steamroller 25 and Sturgill Simpson’s countryrock opus A Sailor’s Guide to Earth — both of which should play well with older, more conservative voters — we still think Beyoncé is going to win the gramophone. With its searing narrative of infidelity, forgiveness and empowerment, a lyrical one-hour visual and genre-spanning track list, no one album captured the zeitgeist quite like Lemonade.

It would be a long overdue album-of-the-year win for the 20-time Grammy champ. We don’t think Adele would feel short-changed, either. After all, she earned the accolade in 2012 for 21, and has repeatedly professed her love for Lemonade in interviews and on tour.

SONG OF THE YEAR WHO WILL AND SHOULD WIN: Adele, Hello

If the Grammys follow the recent trend of awards shows making political statements, then Beyoncé’s celebration of black womanhood, Formation, should be a shoo-in for song of the year. But we think Adele’s less-divisive megahit Hello is a safer bet, having spent 10 weeks at No. 1 in late fall 2015 on its way to becoming an inescapable Internet meme and parody wellspring. If anything usurps the power ballad Sunday night, it could be Justin Bieber’s acoustic kiss-off Love Yourself, which was co-written with Grammy favorite Ed Sheeran and helped cement the pop bad boy’s remarkable comeback on fourth album Purpose.

RECORD OF THE YEAR WHO WILL WIN: Adele, Hello WHO SHOULD WIN: Beyoncé, Formation Record of the year — which rewards overall production and performance, rather than songwriting — frequently has overlapped with song, with recent double winners including Sam Smith (Stay With Me), Lady Antebellum (Need You Now), Amy Winehouse (Rehab), and yes, Adele (Rolling in the Deep).

Although Bey’s dynamic Formation delivery and swaggering production with Mike Will Made It is worthy of the trophy, we think Adele and co-writer/producer Greg Kurstin have the upper hand with their sweeping, soulful work on the more accessible Hello.

BEST NEW ARTIST WHO WILL WIN: Chance the

Rapper

WHO SHOULD WIN: Anderson .Paak Country singers Kelsea Ballerini and Maren Morris will cancel each other out, and unless your name is Daft Punk, the Recording Academy doesn’t give major hardware to dance artists. (Sorry, The Chainsmokers.) That leaves us with Chance the Rapper, a well-regarded, extremely likable potential winner who broke boundaries of music consumption with his mixtape Coloring Book. But he already has ascended to the top of hiphop’s class, and with seven nominations, is likely to pull in other awards such as best rap album or rap/sung performance (Kanye West’s Ultralight Beam). In that regard, we think up-andcomer Anderson .Paak could benefit more greatly from a high-profile win. Plus, his prowess as a multi-instrumentalist on Malibu could appeal to voters who are ambivalent to rap.

‘Lego Batman’ has joyous take on Dark Knight The not-so-Dark Knight returns in the joyously bonkers The Lego Batman Movie, and he’s not only the hero we need right MOVIE REVIEW now but also the BRIAN one we deserve.

tops among Bat-movies, the new film makes a strong argument for second-best simply by taking time to explore the core of Batman that others haven’t: He’s a complicated mess who can’t get out of his own way long enough for the greater good.

Arnett plays Bats’ growly dudebro vocals with infectious energy, Cera nicely inhabits the naïve Robin, and Dawson is super as Barbara, a heroine who’s easily the Caped Crusader’s equal (and superior in a few ways). They’re supported by a large ensemble of baddies, though Galifianakis’ down-to-earth Joker is a standout: He gives the Clown Prince of Crime a huffy attitude and hurt feelings when Batman tells him he’s not his greatest enemy.

Taking a cue from The Lego Movie, Lego Batman borrows from pop culture in over-the-top fashion — movie nerds will need a second viewing to spot all the surprise cameos.

Everything also is awesome on the soundtrack: Batman raps his way through Who’s the (Bat)Man (“Who never skips leg day? BATMAN!”), and the happy-go-lucky Friends Are Family has everybody dancing into the credits, leaving even the grimmest vigilante with a huge grin.

Beth moved away that November, but we continued to see her almost as much as we had before. Now we all attend different schools, and it has been hard. We managed to make it work until about four months ago.

Grace’s father teaches Beth’s basketball team and has told Grace that Beth is always crying at practice. In response, Grace and I baked her cookies and wrote her a note telling her that we are here for her, and then we delivered them via her father.

Later that month, we saw Beth at a dance, and we asked about

New trial ordered for alleged sex offender

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Topeka — A divided Kansas Court of Appeals panel on Friday ordered a new trial for a Hispanic man charged with molesting a 10-year-old girl because the trial court allowed a prosecutor to strike other Hispanic people from the jury pool.

Jose Alberto Gonzalez-Sandoval was convicted in Lyon County District Court for an incident in May 2014 when, according to the opinion, he allegedly touched a 10-year-old who was a friend of his own 9-year-old son while the three of them were playing in a public swimming pool.

During jury selection, according to the court, there were three Hispanic individuals in the pool of potential jurors.

One was struck for cause because she said she had been the victim of a sex crime herself and could not be impartial. But prosecutors used what’s called a “peremptory challenge” to strike the other two.

The one that most troubled the majority on the panel was a woman identified only by her initials, T.R. When Assistant County Attorney Laura Miser

Appeals court says race played role in jury selection was first asked why she struck T.R. from the jury, she said T.R. had been a witness in another criminal case and had previously been questioned by police in yet another case. But when asked during the interview process whether she’d ever been a witness or had been questioned, she didn’t respond.

Miser also said T.R. “avoided a lot of eye contact” during the interview process.

Defense attorney Vernon Buck objected, saying the lack of eye contact was not a good enough reason to strike a potential juror of the defendant’s own ethnic background. He also said the other two cases had nothing to do with the Gonzalez-Sandoval case, and thus should not preclude her from serving on the jury.

On the first day of the trial, Amy Aranda, another lawyer on the prosecution team, informed Judge Merlin Wheeler that she had given Miser the information about the other cases.

But after the jury selection process, Aranda

said she had doublechecked and found that one of the two cases involved a different person by the same name, but that the information in the other case was correct, and so the prosecution stood by its decision to strike T.R. from the panel.

Then on the second day of trial, Aranda informed the judge that she had done more checking, and their information about the second case in which T.R. was involved was incorrect as well.

However, Aranda said, upon further checking, she discovered that T.R. did appear in the police department’s computer system as a witness in a number of burglaries dating back to 2011. Thus, Aranda said, the prosecution continued to object to T.R. based on giving incomplete or inaccurate information about prior experiences in criminal cases.

Buck renewed his objection, but Wheeler stood by his original ruling.

In a 62-page opinion, two of the three Appeals

DEATHS Journal-World obituary policy:

Court judges on the panel said that should not be allowed.

Judges Steve Leben and Henry W. Green said that when reviewing peremptory challenges, courts are limited to examining the initial reasons given for striking a juror and cannot allow prosecutors to substitute or amend their reasons later.

Of the first three reasons given, they said, only the two regarding T.R.’s prior involvement in criminal cases or police questioning could be considered “race-neutral” and both of those turned out to be inaccurate. The fourth reason, submitted after the trial had already begun, should not have been considered.

Judge Thomas Malone wrote a dissenting opinion.

“I believe that the majority’s conclusion that the State ‘must stand or fall on the initial reasons’ it provides for striking a minority (potential juror) and that ‘the trial court is barred from considering’ a substitute reason is an incorrect statement of the law,” Malone wrote.

Virginia Jean (Schuyler) Visser, 94, formerly of Emporia and Lawrence, Kan., died peacefully Feb. 8, 2017, at PathStone Crossing, in Mankato, Minn. A private ceremony to celebrate her life will be held at a later date.

Virginia was born June 26, 1922, to William and Edna (Frear) Schuyler in Danbury, Iowa. After she graduated from Danbury High School in 1940, Virginia completed her nursing training at St. Vincent’s Hospital in Sioux City, Iowa. After graduation in 1942, she and many of her classmates enlisted in the military. Virginia became a first lieutenant in the U.S. Army and served as a nurse in England, France and Germany for 22 months. Near the end of World War II, she met and fell in love with her future husband, John E. Visser, an Army captain and native of Iowa. Virginia was proud of an account she wrote about her wartime nursing experiences, titled “Through the Years, 1940­ 1945.” After discharge, they married on May 29, 1946, and settled in Holland, Mich., where John was a history professor and basketball coach for Hope College, while Virginia worked as an industrial nurse for local businesses.

Together, they moved with their growing family as John finished advanced degrees and worked in administrative positions at a series of colleges and universities, including Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, Mich.; Grand Rapids Junior College in Grand Rapids, Mich.; and Ball State University in John was Muncie, Ind. selected as president of Emporia State University in Emporia, Kan., in 1968.

Virginia served as “first lady” for the campus for 17 years, during which she also earned a master’s degree in Home Economics and taught

classes in that department.

She was actively engaged in the community and championed many civic causes. Through it all, she pursued her life­long passion for entertaining and always worked to make people feel welcome in her home.

After their retirement from Emporia State, John worked as a consultant for universities in Wisconsin and Alaska. Virginia very much enjoyed both locations and, as always, became involved in campus and community activities, making many warm friends along the way. During that time, Virginia also became interested in genealogy and compiled a detailed history of several generations of the Schuyler family.

The couple returned to Vassar, Kan., in 1988, where they built their dream home on Lake Pomona. They lived there until John’s death in 1997.

Virginia then moved to Lawrence, where she developed a new group of friends, especially those in her beloved book club.

She moved to Mankato in 2012, to be closer to family.

Virginia is survived by daughters Mary Visser of Mankato and Nancy Visser of New York, N.Y., and her brother George F. Schuyler, and his family in La Crosse, Wis. She is preceded in death by her siblings Martha Clark, Fred Schuyler, and Edwin Schuyler, her husband, John, and daughters Betty Visser and Martha Visser.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the Emporia State University Foundation targeted to the John & Virginia Student Athlete Scholarship or the Bargain Box Scholarship Fund (www.emporia.edu/give) or the Mayo Clinic Health System SWMN Regional Hospice (http://mayoclinichealths ystem.org/locations/mank ato/donate).

The man in question, Greg Cunningham, told investigators that he doesn’t remember anything after drinking with friends, according to the recently released arrest affidavit in his case. He’s currently facing felony charges of aggravated burglary, theft and two counts of burglary alongside two misdemeanor counts of theft.

An arrest affidavit is a document filed by police explaining the grounds for an arrest. Allegations in the document must still be proved in court.

Cunningham, 54, was arrested on Jan. 20 and booked into the Douglas County Jail. He is currently being held in the jail in lieu of a $35,000 bond.

Around 3:28 p.m on Jan. 20, officers arrived at an apartment complex at 1043 Indiana St. for a reported burglary, the affidavit says.

There, a woman told officers, Cunningham entered her apartment while presenting himself as a maintenance worker and he be— Statehouse reporter Peter Hancock can gan to steal from her and be reached at 354-4222. Follow him on refused to leave.

to the building’s basement.

Downstairs, officers found Cunningham with “a large number of items in his pockets, including an Apple watch, a number of rings, a bracelet, an article of women’s clothing, a number of headphones, and a pocketful of change,” the affidavit says.

Officers arrested Cunningham, who then asked to be taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital because he had been drinking while on medication, the affidavit says. At the hospital, Cunningham was identified as a suspect in two auto burglaries from earlier in the day.

As the investigation continued, officers determined Cunningham broke into a Chevrolet Malibu near the intersection of 10th and Indiana streets earlier in the day, the affidavit says. He is also accused of breaking into another car in the 900 block of Indiana Street.

From the two vehicles, Cunningham stole beer, keys, a backpack, a wallet, headphones and a book, the affidavit says.

Cunningham was booked into jail after he was released from LMH. Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Kristen Dymacek declined to release Cunningham’s booking photo to the public, saying that it is “not required to be disclosed under the Kansas Open Records Act.” — Public safety reporter Conrad Swanson can be reached at 832-7284.

Tips for keeping bouquets fresh Garden Variety

Jennifer Smith

U

.S. consumers are expected to spend about $2 billion on flowers for the upcoming Valentine’s Day holiday, according to the National Retail Federation. Even at premium prices, that accounts for a lot of roses, carnations, lilies, tulips and other flowers. To make a flower investment last as long as possible, both the giver and receiver play roles in

selecting and caring for the flowers.

When selecting bouquets, look for flowers whose blooms are on the verge of opening rather than being fully open already. Flowers are like bananas in this way; you want them in that sweet spot just before they are ripe so they will last a few more days on the counter. Also avoid flowers that are still in tight buds, unless it is a special

miniature arrangement meant to contain budded flowers. Otherwise, the buds may start to rot or dry out before they ever open into a flower.

Look beyond the flowers into the mass of greenery for healthy leaves and stems. Avoid bouquets with wilted leaves, slime or mold on the stems, or other signs of damage and age.

If handled properly by the florist, bouquets in vas-

es and/or in a cooler will last longer than bouquets that are at room temperature and not in water.

Once flowers are home, partially fill a sink with room temperature water for most flowers, or slightly cooler water for tulips, daffodils and other cool-weather bloomers. Submerge the cut end of the flower and cut an additional inch or

Fixing a drippy 2-handled faucet

I

f your double-handled bathroom faucet is dripping, grab an adjustable wrench, a Phillips screwdriver, a flathead screwdriver and get under your sink.

Step 1: If life is good, there will be two shut-off valves, one for the cold water and one for the hot. Turn the water on in the sink, reach under and twist each valve handle counterclockwise until the water flow has stopped completely.

Step 2: Remove the faucet handles by prying up the plastic or metal button on top of each handle and remove the handle screw. Pull the handle straight up and off to expose either a metal or a plastic faucet stem.

Step 3: Use an adjustable wrench to remove the retaining nut or bonnet that holds the faucet stem in place.

Step 4: Place the handle back on the stem and turn the stem in the same

There are many do-ityourself recipes and old wives’ tales about things to add to the water to keep flowers fresh. The safer, easier way to prolong flower life is to use the free or inexpensive packets that are available anywhere cut flowers are sold. Other recommendations — including copper pennies, bleach, vinegar, soda, aspirin and others — may actually make the flowers fade more quickly.

Graham thrives in supporting role

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Don’t take Tech lightly L

ubbock, Texas — Lubbock’s Smith, first name Zach, doesn’t hit as hard as Lubbock Smith did during his days as a safety for the Kansas football team, but Zach Smith does hit shots for the Texas Tech basketball team that he didn’t even used to take.

And Smith still keeps the video crew busy compiling his wide array of dunks for entertaining highlights. He dunks lobs, baseline drives, put-backs. The flashiest come from dunk competitions, such as the time he soared over 6-foot-10 teammate Matthew Temple to throw one down.

Plus, Smith’s too used to playing Kansas to feel in any way intimidated by the challenge of facing the nation’s third-ranked basketball team.

Smith the player and the Red Raiders as a whole are perfect examples of what makes the Big 12 schedule such a tough one to negotiate this season.

Tech tore through the non-conference portion of the schedule with a confidence-building 12-1 record, plays five juniors and four seniors and boasts a 14-1 home record. Yet, the Red Raiders are no better than 4-7 in the Big 12.

Still, if Texas Tech “upsets” Kansas, a four-point favorite, many will want to send out a search party to find an explanation for the unthinkable. Were they flat, exhausted, distracted, robbed by the refs?

Better question: What if Texas Tech is just better for two hours in the game that tips off at 1 p.m.? A four-point underdog does win every now and then.

Smith, a 6-8, 220-pound junior, as with many teammates, gained early experience and steadily has improved. That’s the way it’s supposed to work. His fieldgoal (.472, .511, .544) and free-throw (.619, 658, .688) percentages, scoring (6.2, 10.0, 13.0) and rebounding (4.9, 7.3, 7.8) averages climb every season.

Smith even has stretched his game to make himself tougher to guard. He’s not the high-volume 3-point shooter that fellow 6-8, 220-pound starter Anthony Livingston is, but Smith has made 10 of 19 treys in the Red Raiders’ past 11 games.

Smith likely will be matched up against Josh Jackson to start the game, possibly Landen Lucas and Carlton Bragg Jr. at other times.

Jackson’s rare talent level makes a minutes comparison beside the point here, but it is worth pointing out that Smith has played 1,982 more minutes than Bragg, 799 more than Lucas, who gained valuable experience practicing against future NBA players before working his way into the rotation.

A victory today for Kansas counts as a good one, not a ho-hum one.

Kansas basketball coach Bill Self never has talked much about a love of comic books, but he dropped a doozy of a comic reference earlier this week when describing the play of junior Devonté Graham.

Self called Graham’s season thus far, “rock solid,” and discussed him settling into a supporting role behind national player of the

year candidate Frank Mason III and ferocious freshman Josh Jackson.

“I think he’s played Graham well,” said Self of Graham, KU’s third-leading scorer (13.3 points per game), who also ranks in KU’s Top 3 in 3-point percentage (.392), free-throw

percentage (.725), assists (106) and steals (36). “He probably hasn’t stood out in large part because Frank has probably had the ball more, but he’s been solid. He’s been rock solid. He’s shooting a pretty decent percentage beyond the arc. He’s had some great defensive moments for us and (been) solid, kind of the Robin as opposed to Batman.”

Anyone familiar with Self’s DC Comics reference knows there were times

when it was Robin, not the Caped Crusader, who came through and saved the day for the dynamic duo. And that also has been the case for Graham and the Jayhawks plenty of times this season.

Although he enters today’s 1 p.m. game at Texas Tech having led the Jayhawks in scoring just once (Jan. 21 vs. Texas), Graham also has led Kansas in assists

BISHOP SEABURY’S CHRIS GREEN (30) REACHES FOR THE BALL against Veritas Christian. The Seabury boys won, 77-52, on Friday night at Haskell Indian Nations University.

Seabury boys roll

The Bishop Seabury boys basketball team has continuously put teams away with big runs all season. Those runs usually feature tipped passes, steals, 3-pointers and the occasional dunk by senior Mikey Wycoff.

The enthusiasm of each celebration grows with every made basket, and it’s clear the Seahawks feed off of each other.

“We walk around with swagger,” Wycoff said.

“When we’re hitting our shots, it’s pretty cool.”

That’s exactly what happened in Seabury’s 77-52 win over crosstown foe Veritas Christian on Friday night at Haskell Indian Nations University. After a competitive first quarter, the Seahawks outscored the Eagles, 26-8, in the period, which included a 22-2 run.

Bishop Seabury didn’t get the result it was hoping for Friday night, but the girls basketball still team broke its post-game huddle the same way it does after every game.

With a loud and enthusiastic “Family” that echoed throughout the hallway to break the huddle in the locker room.

“From the beginning we’ve said that we’re a family,”

Seabury coach Nick Taylor said. “We’re always going to be together what happens on or off the floor. We just want to make sure we’re all together.”

Even in a 51-26 loss to Veritas on Friday night at Coffin Sports Complex at Haskell Indian Nations University, Taylor said that he couldn’t fault his team’s effort. In fact, he praised the work ethic his players have demonstrated

Lawrence High girls dismantle Olathe Northwest BOSTON RED SOX

Free State High’s girls basketball players proved Friday that they aren’t going anywhere, despite a season-ending injury to their leading scorer.

Madison Piper, a two-time Sunflower League player of the year, is expected to miss the remainder of the year with a broken left ankle.

Without her, the Firebirds played well on both ends of the court in a 48-39 victory over second-ranked Olathe South at FSHS, handing the Falcons their first loss in league play.

“I think they are on a mission,” Free State coach Ted Juneau said. “They miss Madison, no doubt about it, but hey, one down, who’s next? That’s their attitude and it’s been great.”

The Firebirds (10-6, 4-3 in league) took a 10-point lead in

the third quarter when junior guard Jaelyn Two Hearts scored 10 straight points in a 12-3 run.

Two Hearts, who scored a game-high 20 points on 6-of7 shooting, found her rhythm with a layup, assisted by freshman point guard Caely Kesten.

Then she drained back-to-back 3-pointers on assists from senior Jaycie Bishop.

“Them being tight on me, I was getting a little frustrated,” said Two Hearts, who scored 17 points in the second half. “I was like, if I’m going to shoot it, I know nothing good will come out of it because nothing was there. Third quarter, I was just feeling a bit more myself.”

When Piper went down with an injury during a loss to Shawnee Mission Northwest last week, Juneau stressed to the Firebirds that they needed to focus on making up Piper’s rebounding and post defense — not her scoring.

Practicing against assistant coach Kimberli Schofield, who played volleyball at BYU, the Firebirds were prepared for Olathe South’s distinct height advantage with the 5-foot-7 Two Hearts and 5-7 junior Cameryn Thomas denying passes in the low post.

Freshman 5-11 forward Haley Hippe added eight points, including a four-point spark off the bench in the second quarter on isolation plays.

“I still want to play scrappy,” said Thomas, who completed a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds. “It’s definitely different. I’ve never played post defense before. I liked it, but I definitely still want to play scrappy and play as hard as I can.”

Olathe South (12-2, 6-1) closed its deficit to five points midway through the fourth quarter, but the Firebirds made enough free throws down the stretch and forced the Falcons

LHS boys stop O-Northwest in OT

By Shane Jackson sjackson@ljworld.com

With less than a minute to go in overtime, Lawrence High senior guard Austin Miller picked up his fifth personal foul.

Before dispersing to the bench, Miller made sure to go around and high-five each one of his four teammates on the floor, sharing words of encouragement while his squad tried to hold its advantage down the stretch.

As he made his way to the sideline, a chorus of chants boomed from the

LHS crowd — repeating his full name — in the team’s eventual 62-56 victory over Olathe Northwest on Friday at LHS. “They are chanting my name; the crowd is just unbelievable,” Miller said. “They help bigtime. The energy and the feel. It’s a great student section.”

But it was a scene that seemed improbable in the waning moments of regulation.

With less than 25 seconds to go in the contest, the Lions stared down a six-point deficit.

Sophomore Clarence

King brought the ball swiftly up the court, before dishing it back to a trailing Miller, who took one step and bottomed a pull-up 3-pointer from the left wing. His trey cut it to a single possession with 17.1 seconds remaining.

On the impending inbounds play, the Ravens were hit with a five-second violation as the Lions shut down all passing lanes. Miller made the most of the new life, by connecting on a deep 3-pointer from the left wing, to ultimately even the score at 48-all.

“It’s not a huge surprise, he can really light it up,” LHS coach Mike Lewis said. “But to be in position to hit those shots and be real clean on our look to tie it. I’m just proud of the way he scored it with confidence.”

And Miller wasn’t done there against the very team he played for as a freshman before transferring to LHS. In the free period, Olathe Northwest struck first with a 3-pointer. After senior Kobe Buffalomeat trimmed the deficit to one, Miller buried the

long ball from the top of the key, to recapture the lead with a 1:14 to go.

LHS never trailed from that moment on, despite Miller fouling out.

“That was just insane,” senior Jackson Mallory said. “He looked at me and Clarence and said, ‘Give me the ball and I’ll get us to overtime.’ We did, and he hit it.”

Miller finished with 12 points on four made 3-pointers, all of which came in the fourth quarter and overtime. He started his 4-of-4 effort during that span, with a triple at the 4:48 mark in

FSHS boys too much for Olathe South

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

With less than five minutes remaining in a 6650 victory Friday in the Cage, Free State senior Cameron Clark stood under Olathe South’s basket and saw a layup attempt headed his way.

Clark cocked his arm back and slammed the ball flying out of bounds for a highlight rejection.

He saw it as a fly sitting on his dashboard.

Senior teammate Jay Dineen immediately hugged Clark, who had

nine times, steals eight times and once each in rebounding and blocked shots.

“I think he’s had a really good year, but probably not the year that you would maybe think after the way he finished last year,” Self said. “He was the best player in the (2016) Big 12 tournament and then he played well in the NCAA Tournament, so there may be the appearance that he may go to a whole other level, and I think he has really improved, I just think that the way the ball is being distributed now, he probably hasn’t had as many chances.”

Chances were not tough to come by for Graham in the Jayhawks’ first meeting with the Red Raiders. He made 8 of 14 shots, including 4 of 8 from 3-point range, and added four assists, 3 rebounds and a steal while playing a game-high 37 minutes.

Graham repeatedly has said that his concerns about this year’s team go beyond individual numbers. Like all of his teammates, he only wants to win and is willing to play whatever role puts Kansas in the best position to come out on top. He proved that by discussing KU’s late 16-2 run that knocked out Tech in the first meeting without so much as mentioning his strong individual performance.

“It was a real good game here until late,” Graham recalled. “They’re long and athletic, they’ve got some good guards and it’s gonna be hard to win down there in Lubbock. It always is.”

With Mason leading the Big 12 in scoring, that, more often than not, has made Graham more of a distributor, picking timely spots to shoot and score and deferring to Mason, Jackson, Svi Mykhailiuk and even Landen Lucas the rest of the time.

Regardless of the numbers — his or those of his teammates — Graham has been pleased with his play through the season’s first 24 games, in large part because Kansas has won 21 of those.

a wide smile across his face. Another teammate, Jacob Pavlyak, went over to slap hands with Clark.

At long last, the Firebirds, known for always making games as close as possible, secured a blowout, subbing in juniorvarsity players with four minutes left.

“It’s about time,” junior forward Jalan Robinson said. “We like to blow leads a lot. We like to make it close for some reason.”

On the next possession following Clark’s block,

senior guard Shannon Cordes went uncovered against Olathe South’s full-court press. Cordes caught the inbounds pass, raced up the floor and saw Clark on the other side of the lane in a 2-on-1 fast-break. Cordes lobbed up an alley-oop, which Clark flushed with a twohanded slam.

By then, the rout was on. Clark scored a gamehigh 21 points, including 15 in the second half.

“My mentality has changed,” said the 6-foot7 Clark, who has scored at least 13 points in every

game of the team’s fivegame win streak. “I’m starting to realize that I have to step up for my team. Just play hard and give it my all for 32 minutes.”

The Firebirds, undefeated in Sunflower League play, had an 11-point lead at halftime, but know from experience that no lead is big enough.

Clark scored eight straight FSHS points at the beginning of the third quarter. He scored on passes from Dineen and made another layup from a near impossible angle

while being fouled, sliding out of bounds as the ball dropped through the net.

Along with their inside scoring, the Firebirds (11-4, 7-0 in league) were focused on defense.

The Falcons (8-8, 3-4 in league) went scoreless for a six-minute stretch in the third quarter, missing on seven straight shots before senior Nic Slavin hit a buzzer-beating 3-pointer.

“I like the way we came out of the half with a little energy,” FSHS coach Sam Stroh said.

1 2 3 KEYS FOR KANSAS

Win behind the line

Defensive discipline

This matchup is a battle of two of the Asked what his team was hoping to fineworst 3-point defenses in the Big 12, as tune during the final seven games of the reguTexas Tech ranks eighth while allowing op- lar season, Graham referenced an area the Jayponents to shoot .366 from 3-point range hawks have battled all season — defense. “Still and Kansas ranks ninth allowing opponents working on defensive stuff, mainly,” Graham to shoot .368. The 3-point shot played a big said. “We don’t really worry about offense. We role for both teams in the first meeting and know we can score. We’ve just been watching Kansas, though making two fewer shots film and (looking for) little things, being in the from behind the arc in that one, ultimately right spot, little things like that.” Being sound won the battle with a more efficient effort. defensively will be key in this one because of KU connected on 9 of 18 3-pointers (.500) the style the Red Raiders use offensively. Not in the 85-68 victory at Allen Fieldhouse only will Tech’s experienced backcourt led by while allowing the Red Raiders to make 11 Keenan Evans and Aaron Ross challenge the of 28 (.393), a few of which came late with Jayhawks to stay in front of them, but the Red the game out of reach. Devonté Graham Raiders also like to drag possessions deep into and Frank Mason III combined to go 7-ofthe shot clock before looking for a spot to at12 from 3-point range in the first meeting tack, which KU coach Bill Self said was a staple and, with Josh Jackson having found his of what first-year Tech coach Chris Beard likes stroke (13 of his last 24 from 3) and Svi to do. “I think it’s pretty much the same team Mykhailiuk operating as a 3-point assassin (as the first meeting) on what they’re trying to of late — Mykhailiuk’s has made 19 3-pointaccomplish,” Self said. “Run motion and give ers since the Jan. 7 meeting with TTU — the the defense a chance to break down.” Texas Jayhawks should have plenty of weapons Tech ranks second to Kansas (.495) in the Big with which to attack the Red Raiders, even if 12 in overall field goal percentage at .482.

Tech elects to try to eliminate good looks for Mason and Graham.

Another step forward for Bragg

Playing in just his second game after serving a three-game suspension for a violation of team rules, KU sophomore Carlton Bragg Jr., could play a huge role in this one. With the Red Raiders balanced offensively and loaded with long, athletic players in the starting lineup and off the bench, Bragg, if he’s locked in, would provide the Jayhawks with a nice piece to match up with that size and length. Bragg delivered a mixed-bag performance in the first meeting with Texas Tech, tallying 3 points and 6 rebounds to go along with 3 turnovers and 4 fouls. Senior forward Landen Lucas, who plays a much different style than Bragg, has logged 30 or more minutes in 6 of 11 games since Jan. 1 and any chance Kansas gets to lighten his load represents good news for this team, both now and in the future. In his first game back from suspension, Monday night vs. Kansas State, Bragg showed no ill effects of sitting out and contributed six points and three rebounds in 13 minutes. If he’s mentally prepared and called upon, he could double those numbers against Tech.

MEGA MATCHUP

JAYHAWK PULSE

Texas Tech forward Anthony Livingston vs. whoever KU puts on him

With seven games remaining in the regular season and the Jayhawks owning a one-game lead over Baylor at the top of the Big 12 Conference standings, we’re quickly reaching the stretch run in KU’s quest to make it 13 Big 12 regular season titles in a row. That fact alone makes the importance of every game left go up just a tick. But few seem to be quite as important as this one, given the fact that it comes on the road, where life is always tough, and right before a week that very well could decide the Big 12 race. After facing Tech in Lubbock, Kansas will return home for a Big Monday rematch with West Virginia before traveling to Baylor five days later. Both teams are ranked, both teams played KU tough in the first meeting this season and both will take the floor for those games fully expecting to take down Kansas. The Jayhawks probably can afford to lose one of the next three games and be OK. But if they were to fall to Tech on the road, the pressure would rise during the next two games, which already will come with a great deal of pressure to begin with.

Texas Tech’s 6-foot-8, 220-pound forward has scored in double figures in four consecutive games, including a team-high 14 points in a recent loss at TCU. During that stretch, the senior from Washington D.C., has shot .563 from the field, including a scorching .556 from 3-point range. Therein lies one of this match-up’s most intriguing questions for Kansas — which player checks Livingston? In the first meeting, senior forward Landen Lucas opened on Livingston, but the Tech forward’s comfort floating around the 3-point line might not make Lucas the ideal candidate here because guarding Livingston could pull Lucas out of rebounding position. Josh Jackson has the height but not the bulk to match up and also has been slow at times to close out to 3-point shooters. That leaves sophomore Carlton Bragg, who guarded Livingston some in the first match-up. Bragg could be in line for more playing time if Livingston, who ranks fifth in the conference in 3-point percentage (.425) and ninth in the Big 12 in 3-pointers made (48), continues to be a factor for the Red Raiders. In the first meeting with Kansas, Livingston struggled to 6 points, 3 rebounds and 3 turnovers in just 14 minutes. ”

Third staff the charm for Beaty Editor’s note: The following is a reprint of sports editor Tom Keegan’s column, which, due to a layout error, did not run in its entirety in Friday’s newspaper.

E

arly in David Beaty’s tenure as head football coach at Kansas, athletic director Sheahon Zenger mentioned in passing but with confidence that it had been his experience that it takes until a coach’s third year to get his staff just right.

I made a mental note to revisit Zenger on that topic once Beaty entered his third season. Nothing that has happened here has changed Zenger’s third staff’s the charm stance.

Beaty’s entire defensive staff — Clint Bowen (coordinator/safeties), Michael Slater (line), Todd Bradford (linebackers), Kenny Perry (co-coordinator/safeties) — remains intact. Joe DeForest, whose impressive background was a useful resource for the defensive coaches last season, returns as special teams boss. Bradford and DeForest were not on

giving them to promoted Garrett Riley.

It took Beaty until his third season to get the man he wanted to run his Air Raid offense.

He also dropped experience for the playhis quarterback duties, ers, he received a promo-

tion to associate head coach/running backs and a pay raise from $150,000 to $400,000.

Offensive line coach Zach Yenser is the only member of the offensive staff who has been with Beaty since his first year.

So Zenger’s third-year theory is panning out.

“I know in the last 10 to 15 years that I’ve believed that, just from watching staffs I’d been on and staffs I’d seen as an administrator and enough qualitative observation, that it just kind of rang true to me at the time and still does,” Zenger said. “I think it has to do with in your first year, any time you’re interviewing a coach you always ask, ‘Who are you going to have on your staff?’

The wiser coaches will tell you, ‘I won’t be able to get all of these guys, but in a perfect world I’d like these nine.’ Never have I seen anyone get the full nine first-stringers that they want.”

Making nine hires at once inevitably leads to bad fits here and there.

“Or maybe an op-

portunity comes along that was just perfect for someone, so you replace a couple, anywhere from two to four, maybe five,” Zenger said. “And it seems like the guys who come in that second year often bring more experience, maybe know more that that’s a fit that’s better for them. And then you get in the third year and you have less turnover and the turnover there is seems to have more specific needs for the program itself. That’s not exact science, it’s just my observations over the years. And I’m seeing it happen here.”

Fewer hires each year means fewer chances at missing on one.

“I think when a coach has a chance to hire a couple of guys, or three or four, you’re more able to focus on what you need and getting the right fit than when you’re trying to hire nine,” Zenger said.

It won’t be easy to keep the staff together and will cost money, but the latter shouldn’t be a problem. Big Big 12 TV checks make big salaries for coaches possible.

Veritas standout senior Tori Huslig.

But Huslig started to get loose in the second quarter, and Veritas ended the half on a 15-4 run.

Huslig, signed to play college softball at Central Oklahoma, was the game’s leading scorer with 25 points. Veritas took advantage of turnovers and quick shots on the offensive end by Seabury to get out in transition.

With senior Celia Taylor-Puckett in St. Louis for a college visit, fellow senior Kayleigh Boos was the Seahawks’ only double-digit scorer with 16 points. However, Emily Heinz had one of her best games of the season filling in for Taylor-

Puckett in the backcourt.

Heinz scored nine points, and was the Seahawks most aggressive player in driving to the basket and trying to create shots for others all night.

“I thought Emily did a great job at the point guard position,” Taylor said.

Chloe Holland added 12 points for the Eagles (134) while Delaeny Shelton scored eight.

“When we’re moving the ball side to side, we can be pretty good,” Taylor said. “When we’re stagnant, and make one pass and shoot that’s tough. That leads to transition baskets if you don’t get back.”

Veritas continued its momentum into the third quarter, outscoring Bish-

Texas struggles Kansas will look to snap its nine-game losing streak to Texas in the final meeting of the regular season between the teams.

Wycoff, who led Bishop Seabury with 20 points, said it was important to bounce back and play well Friday after an overtime loss to Metro Academy on Wednesday.

“Tonight we really picked it up,” Wycoff said of the Seahawks’ defense.

“The Metro loss really opened our eyes. We told ourselves that we can’t lose another game going into sub-state.”

Early on, Veritas (7-11) was able to hang tough, and Seabury only led by eight after the first quarter. Veritas scored all 12 of their points in the paint off dribble penetration, which upset Seabury coach Ashley Battles because he said that was a point of emphasis entering the game.

“For some reason, it didn’t sink until the second quarter,” Battles said.

“Once we stopped that, it was lights out.”

The Seahawks (14-3) hit four shots from beyond the arc in the second period, and junior Zach McDermott scored six of his 15 points on two shots well beyond the 3-point arc. His second triple gave the Seahawks a 36-16 lead.
